When you have a small case, but AIO cooling is life

I got a little carried away with my setup and ended up having to remove the cable management bar from my S340 to fit additional fans for push-pull with the H115i. I also had to put the fan for one of the GPUs outside of the case, on top. 

 

EDIT: added new picture with better cacle management and plant on top.

The S340 has shitty air flow regardless, so might as well just go with it and make everything look nice :)

Love it! Do you have temps under load for us? :D 

Thanks! I see low to mid-40s during games, but I've been keeping the glass panel off so it doesn't press against the hoses. With the panel on, it reaches around 52C.

As a suggestion, not sure about the temps, you could replace the CPU AIO with a 120mm one and put the GPU AIO from top to the front as IMO it looks ugly AF that fan outside of the case.

 

But again, not sure about the CPU temps with a 120mm AIO.

 

Nice build overall and quite unique as me personally haven't seen so many AIOs in one PC (there might be but I haven't searched for them so this one makes it the first one I've seen)

A 120mm AIO is not enough to cool a 7700k. And on top of that I'm running a very high overclock, so I need the extra cooling of a 280mm. I agree that the fan on top doesn't look pretty, so I added an Ikea plant to draw attention from it and rerouted some of the wires.

Haha! Totally got me w/ the plant. Did not see the fan. Master of misdirection.

 

Man... I literally have all the same cooling as you and I thought I was cramming w/ the 760T. Hats off to you for this.
