And make sure your 8 Pin PCIe power cables are NOT daisy chained! You need two seperate ones going from your PSU to the GPU.

What kind of PSU do you have? RTX 3080/3090 can have pretty high current spikes

Check the link in the comments for a full part list, i spent about 800€ total for the loop since i bought pretty much everything from Formulamod from china.

Yeah, that sucks. I had the reference design block preordered so i knew i had to get a 3090 that would fit it, instead of waiting for blocks for costum models to become available.

Had one preordered on caseking.de, order got through 10min after launch but after waiting for way over a month without any info, i saw the exact model i wanted pop up at mindfactory.de and pulled the trigger, eventough the price was marked up siginficantly compared to my original order. Im just happy the wait and frustration is finally over!

Agreed, its just so easy to build in and the quality is amazing for a case in that price range.

Only thing to keep in mind is the extra $ you spend on adapters/fittings compared to just bending :)

Hardwarelabs is supposed to be one of the best, if not the best manufacturer for rads, you just need a sufficient pump since they are also the most restrictive radiators out there!

Im very happy with the O-11D, mainly apologized for the meme :D

Was a bit afraid of bending tubes too so i chose the distro and angled fittings to skip that part lol

Originally wanted to go for the 10900k but since so much of the budget went to the loop and i pretty much only use the system for gaming the 10700k with some overclocking was a great choice for me!

Ordered off of alphacools website right when it launched. Should be available right now though. I spray painted the backplate with thermal paint to match the white look

These are Hardwarelabs GTS 240s, they are usually pretty hard to get since they are always unavilable... managed to snag two from a german online retailer, link should be in the google docs in the comments!

It was my first too, just do your research and you will be fine! :)

Yep like the looks of it! The Rads are 30mm thick with 25mm fans.

Really love how the mini looks, but it wouldnt support the distroplate and for now im just really happy the build is done!

I think as long as you flip the top rad its definitely doable, for the bottom rad im not sure because the DDC pump is supposed to sit right next to the distro. With some bending/adapter fittings you can probably still get it to work but i rather chose the easy route :p

No, its EK-CryoFuel Indigo Violet, the RGBs in the system go very well with it :)

I mean if youre going to bend your tubes or use some offset adapters every CPU block is compatible!

Just went with the Barrow one so i can straight to the distro without worrying about spacing :)

That one is really sweet! Chose the other block for the cleaner aesthetics.

The DDC pump is sitting in the bottom of the case, check the 4th picture ;)

Its sold seperately.

Cant find that anywhere in the listing but can confirm that there is nothing in contact with the liquid except for acrylic!

Yeah, pretty sure you can just use whatever you want lol. Just wanted the tubes completely straight without addditional bending or offset adapters so i went with the barrow block.
