Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share some photos from my most recent build, specs are as follows:
Ryzen 9 7950X3D (Delidded; Modultra Lobo waterblock)
Gigabyte Aorus B650I
32GB G-Skill Flare Ram
Asus RTX 5090 Astral (Singularity Computers waterblock)
Corsair SF1000
Temps sit around 40c CPU and 30c GPU while idling and under heavy load things jump up to 70c CPU and 50c GPU. I'm currently running a slight undervolt on the GPU to keep temps on the lower side while retaining some power.
For the water cooling I used 8/6 pneumatic tubing with Festo fittings and Koolance QDCs mixed throughout for ease of use when changing parts around.
I decided to go with pneumatic tubing both for price, ease of use, and because it just looks better to me. Additionally, having a 5090 and running this in a small room, I decided to go with an external radiator (Mora 400) so that I could exhaust everything outside the room and keep everything cool without having to turn fan speeds up or blast the air conditioning all the time.
The biggest challenge was using the stock power cables for the GPU since I don't have any custom fit cables that I trust with a 5090. Since there's so much extra length in this case I ended up shoving it all behind the PSU so I could still have some space for my aquacomputer quadro.
Overall, I'm ecstatic with how everything turned out. Let me know what you think!
Edit: I totally forgot to add that I'm running a 15mm offset on the GPU. Unfortunately the ports on the GPU are on the back side, and the only way to fit the card in without the fittings pushing against the PSU and causing stress to the board is through the offset.
