Welcome to the ROG forum!

Well, that's a strong built! May we have some more pics with the side panels of? And more details about the cooling system?

Thanks for more pics!

Am I getting correctly that you have a single, parallel loop, with a single radiator in the bottom? Interesting solution...

I thought that the danger in such kind of parallel setups is that the restriction is different in each of the parallel parts, so the coolant flow may not be optimal... it may slow down or even stop in some segments...

Like in this setup, the CPU part of the parallel loop may be the fastest (which is good), but it will slow down in the mobo blocks and even more in the VGA blocks... The powerful D5 pumps may overcome the restrictions though... And a single 360mm radiator is enough for all those components? Indeed, it's interesting...

Would be to much if i would ask for some temperature values? Got really curious...

Hi.

Thanks...

The dual D5 Water Pump makes a big difference, giving a maximum flow of ~792 GPH, temperatures remain low (35^oC ~ 40⁰C)and the liquid flows like crazy, the waterblocks are transparent and I put a liquid called Aurora Supernova to appreciate the flow of liquid.

I'm doing a video soon I'll upload it to the forum.

Awesome build m8!

Nice video!

What's that monitoring software? And what was the ambient temp?

It's a sick rig alright, it very professional and very well thought out.

The monitoring and testing software that I use is the OCCT.
Room temperature is approximately 78 Fahrenheit or 25.5 Celsius.
