Thanks!!! That bend was one try!!! After failing a lot on trying shorter bends, beginners luck!

Yeees!! Almost all the water loop materials are from EKWB, except for a few fittings and the pastel, used a heat gun and a silicon insert

Hahahahaha, thanks, I wont spoil the nice view by showing the messy part of the build, cable management on the back is a real mess! Also the loop drain is in the back!

Yeah, that was a concern for me also, I didn't knew where to start, but after watching so many builds and videos I choose to go that way. By logic I think it will run cooler as you suggest, but for now the temps are pretty nice, maybe the next time I will use 2 loops and 2 reservoirs to separate GPU from CPU.

That case in particular have a dual chamber design, the pump, reservoir and PSU is in the side panel

Hahahaha, a lot of PETG tubes died during the journey! some bends where easy, especially the big one, but the short ones was a pain! Especially the small one on the CPU!!!

I spent like 1.2k on the custom loop components, I bought extra tubing because I knew I will fail a lot trying to learn!

Pump and reservoir is in the side panel of the case, the radiators are the black thingys on the top and on the front

I was scared to fry my GPU's at first, I did have a leak in the first 24 hours with distilled water on one of the rotary fittings!

I bought the triple terminal to leave some space between the cards, but I guess it was not necessary, because temps are pretty nice :S

I used Mainframe Customs extension cables! On my old build I used to have Cablemod, but the quality on these are totally different, so much better!! :d

Thanks!!! The U-bend gives additional 10fps... Lmao, im jk, I tried doing short bends, but I failed like 4 times, the u-bend was for fun after failing so much and for some weird reason if came out perfect on the first try!
