First Time Custom Loop. The Phoenix

[SlimSim]

Hi, it's my first time ever with a water custom loop. I always found that it was awsome but never jumped in. So basically, i turned my "first real gaming pc" into my first water cooling pc. So i called it: The Phoenix.

I looked at a lot of tutorials, shopped online a month long (Thanks Dazmode for taking care of all my separate orders!), building my plan...so here we are.

Very tight build!
Those bends are very smooth and look great.

How are your temps with those solar array of fans?

Right now i didn't OC and benchmark that much. Pretty the same thing I had before. So, at this moment on cinebench i peaked at 69 deg on the cpu @5ghz. And i didn't reach more than 37 deg on the gpu with a small amount of OC (+75mhz) as a start on time spy 4k. Liquid runs at about 25 to 33 deg. Like i said, it's only values as a starting point for the OC. More to comes...

Great work, nice to see how torque fitting looks with optional rings in real life. Thank you for sharing the extra images!
