7950x Watercooled Build

[GimmeGaming]

I've just finished my new build and transferred over my old GPU as I haven't decided on using an RTX 4080 or a 7900XTX.

AMD 7950x

G.Skill 64Gb 6000mhz cl30 ram

Nvidia Rtx 3080 ti

Lian li Evo case

1Tb SN850 M.2 SSD

2Tb SN850 M.2 SSD

2TB KC3000 M.2 SSD

2 * 360mm EK P360 Radiators

EK Lian Li Evo Distro Plate

EK D5 pump

EK watercooling fittings bar some temp bitspower fittings I used while waiting for the last fittings to arrive.

RM1000 psu with cablemod cables

You got exceptionally lucky with the tube alignment to not have to use a tonne of adapters

Looks fantastic.

Its actually the way new EK parts are designed that its easy to perfectly align tubes like in the pictures. It looks much better in person.

Nice build! I would recommend to look into delidding the CPU. You will be surprised the ridiculous gains in temp/performance you can get this way. Derbauer usually has great delidding toolkits for all types of CPUs. It's a bit stressy the first time but really worth the effort. Specially if you lap the cpu die and use liquid metal.

I will be ordering a 7950x3d when they are out and will try delid the 7950x as it will just be for my work pc which is not in any hurry to upgrade.

I finally replaced the bitspower fittings as the other fittings arrived. I accidently ordered the large plugs rather than the micro ones so I couldn’t replace the silver plugs.

I've added the pump cover and replaced the silver allen key fittings with micro torque fittings so it appears more seemless.

I upgrade the GPU to a 7900XTX. Going AMD for the first time in years. Between the Nvidia tax and the 12 pin cable issues, I figured it was time to switch. I was pleasantly surprised how good the GPU drivers are now. They seem to be very light weight.
I also replaced all the drives with a 2TB Seagate 530 for the OS, 4TB Seagate 530 for game and a 1TB SN850 for data.

Not to resurrect an old topic, but on this build, the bottom fittings what was the part # or fitting size from the P360 to the 90-degree angle fitting? I am updating my water-cooling system to use push-in's and wanted to know. I am trying to minimize the amount of tubing in my system.
