Yeah, I'd probably just run the cable along the gap between the GPU and MoBo and then out through the same pass-through as the GPU ARGB goes throiugh (i.e. the same one as the SATA cables and USB3 cables).

Thank you. As per @Cenedd the air gap in the top is for expansion. What I was trying to say was that I'm thinking of placing a strip along the back of the RAM block (mounted on the backplate of the GPU) to illuminate that as I think that would then add some light to that whole area. It would...

In the end I used the pukka Heatkiller ARGB strips for lighting the reservoirs as I was struggling to get hold of an alternative strip that was narrow enough to fit in the channels in the frame. I'm sure that there must be something out there but after a first failed attempt (dimensions were...

This build is now complete (bar the inevitable tinkering and tuning) - it's also published over at builds.gg (though much of the content there is a cut and paste from here) -> https://builds.gg/builds/distraction-a-lian-li-pc-v3000wx-dual-loop-build-27630 Some final shots to conclude things with:

As I said, it might muddy the water and GN acknowledges that and also that there will be a follow up, but AFAIK that isn't yet available.

This might muddy things rather than clear them up, but nevertheless this is GN's summary of the relative performance of four vs two sticks of memory with Zen 3...

5 series, specifically a 5950X

Once you've finished having a word with the Project Manager you might want to have a word with Stores or whoever else it is that is responsible for keeping consumables in stock. :)

I've got the Dark Hero and it looks like we have a very similar memory kit (this is what I have) albeit I have 32GB across four sticks whereas I think you have 64GB across four. I'm still building the system but prior to starting on the liquid cooling I did boot everything up on air to check...

Thank you.

So, when I said "prototyping (a.k.a. cocking things up and having to start again)", yeah, the back panel was one of those things that I had a number of runs at, mostly to get all the pass through holes plumb (six visible pass throughs plus another four for the pump/res). To your other...

There has definately been something of a silver lining in having to wait for so many component parts in so far as it has forced a slower pace than I would normally go at things. That said, this one was one that I knew would take time because there are so many elements that just had to be right -...

For once I had almost an entire day to dedicate to progressing this build and now the end is in sight - this is where I left things this evening...

Thanks. There's just enough room to get the res lids off and get a tube in to fill them up - but I may well add something more convenient in the back section.

Slow progress over the last few days but one small step worth a picture is the test fit of the reservoirs, now pimped up with some new badges to cover over the mounting holes which are exposed by choosing to mount them with the inlet and outlet passing straight through the back panel... Edit...

Yep, same for me. That said I think if you're locking in a colour pallet with custom cable sleeves then choosing one of the coloured corners that ties in probably makes some sense (I did exactly that, albeit with their black industrial fans in my Core v21 build), but otherwise neutral black is...

It's hard to go wrong with Noctua fans, especially now that they've recognised that their traditional colours aren't to everyones taste when putting together rigs with the hardware on display.

I've been put off by soft tube used in that way because I once used some in an out of sight section of a build where it ended up getting a kink in it that restricted flow. Once spotted it was easy to resolve, but hey ho, it was out of sight for a while.

Yeah, I'm cheating :) : dual loop and pretty much every other run besides this one makes it's way between components via the back plate and for all the out of sight runs I'll use acrylic so I'll have more freedom on how to route things.

This is the first time that I've used metal tubes for a build so having fitted the RAM block on the backplate of the GPU block I took the opportunity to find out how they are to work with by cutting, fitting and pressure testing the run between the two blocks... ... and I have to say that I...
