Looks great. Why such an old cpu though? Custom loops are hard to change hardware out. I would have thrown in a 5800x3d

Thanks, it was hard work. Took my two kits of tubing lol. I was going to upgrade to 7000 series but I think I'll wait a little longer. Not like I don't have the money just no need right now. 5800x3D would be a good upgrade so I can skip the motherboard exchange.
