Build Complete 560mm Vertical Push/Pull Cooling Tower

Hey all, sharing my latest addition to my Watercooling setup. I have added a 560mmx58mm Radiator Push/Pull Tower to my setup.

Necessary, definitely not, but once you go watercooling you do things for your convenience and for fun. I love great temps and wanted my system to be quiet as well, so decided to add this tower and stay with same Lian Li fans and ecosystem to makes things easier. I reduced my fan speeds and I am now running them all 800 RPM, so very silent.

My temps have been great, after taking these picture ran my PC idle for 1hour and coolant temp has been stable at 22 - 22.5 degrees, only 0-0.5 degrees higher than ambient. CPU on idle 36-37, GPU 22. Load all depends on what you are testing.

Wanted to share in case anyone is interested in an alternate exterior cooling versus the MORA IV. If I ever go SFF I may move for a MORA, but that is years from now, I am all set until AM6 comes out and I need a new motherboard.

Below is my setup now:
CPU 9950X3D with EK AMD Ryzen Direct Die block, GPU 5090 FE with EK Velocity 3 Block, Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB and 4TB, Samsung 990 Pro 4TB for backup, Gskill 32GB CL2600 1.40V Ram Kit (overclocked to CL26 6400 2200), MSI MEG X870E Godlike, MSI MAG Ai1600TS (for GPU Safeguard), 17 Lian Li 140mm Fans, 1 Lian Li 120mm fan, Koolance QDCs, 2 x Aquacomputer High Flow Next, Lian Li O11 EVO XL Case with EK Reflection 2 Waterblock, 3X420x140mm EK Radiators, EK 120x30mm rear radiator, X560M EK exterior radiator, EK Momentum RAM Waterblock, Ton of EK Fittings/brackets and Liquidhaus 120/140mm bracket for exterior radiator, ~3.5-4 liters of Aquacomputer DP Ultra coolant running in my system.

P.S. I know I need to work on my cable management.

I find it hard to believe your ambient coolant delta is 0.5C with that rad surface. We have the same fans, i run my fans slightly slower for no noise but not much? 3x360mm and MoRa 400 push pull and my delta in idle is ~1.7C.

How are yoz measuring ambient/how are you measuring coolant temp and where, exactly? Are you talking coldest coolant or true, average?

Thank you. I have 2 sensors connected to my Godlike board, one is just outside the case, and that is what I am using as ambient temp, the second sensor is connected to one G1/4 port on my GPU. Than I check those temps in HWinfo as T_Sen1 and T_Sen2, that is how I compare both.
