Hello Dev1234567890!
I'm really impressed with what you've done with this setup!
Because of this I'm trying to do the same build as you (Black Louqe Ghost S1 MK3) and have a few questions.
I'm aiming for a WaterCooling setup that would be as satisfying and awesome as yours!
and I really need some guidance before I go bonkers with watercooling in this case.

Pump:
When i look through the internet, most people go for pump-block combos.
But I can't seem to find anyone else who are doing a seperate pump like this, in the Louqe Ghost S1.
Q1: Did you need to do any kind of hacks for this pump setup to work?
Q2: Is it mounted or just, hanging out there in the corner?
Q3: Are there any trade-offs (noise, temperature, pump heat??) that others might need to be aware of?

Fittings on the GPU:
Most people say that compression fittings won't fit in this case, were they just overly pessimistic, or did you resort to some kind of modding?
Q4: How did you manage to make space for the compression fittings on the GPU?

Draining the system:
I can see that you have a quick disconnect fitting
Q5: Which brand and model are you using?
Q6: How do you drain and fill the system?
Q7: Would you recommend something else than this setup?

Noise and temperatures:
Q8: Cinebench R20 what CPU temps do you get?
Q9: Noise performance, is this silent or would you think a dual fan setup would be more silent than this?

Thank you, for your time!


Best wishes:
Jonas, Denmark.
