So these are the FULL specs! Down to the detail!

I don't wanna hold anyone off so here's some beatuy shots on an Imgur album (High quality photo of my delidded 8700k at the very bottom!)

 

IMGUR ALBUM

 

So here's a couple things to note:

The GPU block plates, both radiators and powersupply are fully custom painted in a pure satin white from motip, The Radiator mount ontop is fully custom aswell which has been cut by a 1.2M$ 10'000kW Lasercuter (Work related). All of the RGB is driven (Including the keyboard and mouse!) by Aura sync and some syncing software called "RGB Sync" from Darthaffe and CyanLabs on github. 

The stickers were manufactured in switzerland from StickerYeti (Had to buy 50 of em at once lol..)

 

I also had to reuse the GPU Led Controller from the original Cooler because the Phanteks boards were both asynced colors (yellow showed as green, etc.)

Really like the loop. Much better than anything I could think of. I’m often scared of doing custom loops because of leaks and my clumsiness, so I often resort to just seeing what other people are capable of.

 

I think eventually I’d like to take a chance and do it, but I’d have to use soft tubing... Anyway, I digress. Really nice looking build that’s for sure.

Thanks! Yeah it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It's my first loop aswell.
