These are terrible pics. I didn't realize the camera on my phone was so bad. But I am proud of this regardless so I wanted to share it. I particularly like using the tubes on the right as a design/decorative element. I wanted to keep everything very minimal so I packed all the cooling gear in the space behind those tubes. The "room" as I call it was already there as part of the case. I used some 6mm plexi to make the walls solid for the pass throughs. It was no easy task getting all of that in an approximately 4.5" x 6" space. it took me 3 tries to get something I was happy with. I look forward to your feedback. Specs:

I'm not a gamer, this is my workstation. So although I would love to have a 1080ti or a 1070ti, I couldn't justify spending the money. A custom loop was also unnecessary.....but very necessary, if you catch my drift. Being a designer, aesthetics are everything lol. That being the case you would think I would at least paint that angle aluminum I used to mount the rad (and a better solution as well lol)...but most of the time nobody is gonna see it so f*** it. I think that's about it. Oh, ignore that rat's nest. Proper cable management was done after the pics. Thanks for taking a look.
It's the lighting making that beautifully hand done satin tubing look different colors. In real life they all look like the tubes running to and from the CPU.
Restore default settings and verify the system is stable. As said, you should not have been able to hurt anything, but just to be sure, run some games/benchmarks/torture tests to verify stability on the stock configuration.
You aren't going to kill the silicone with 1 overheat. They will shut themselves off way before something truly burns. Reset everything back to stock, hell Id reinstall OS before thinking that the chip got hit.
I too have a Golden R7 1700 - hitting 3.8ghz all core on stock voltages (1.18vcore). Getting my custom loop in so I can crank up the voltages as well to push it further Dang shipping windows.
