Should have checked on block compatibility before buying the gpu i did but its an excuse to upgrade sooner rather than later lol

Phanteks evolve case
Gigabyte aurus master G2
i5 [email protected]
Gigabyte rtx 2080super OC rev2.0
16gb Corsair vengeance 3200
Gigabyte B700H
420 and 240 EK rads
Phanteks distro plate
EK velocity cpu block
EK kinetic pump res combo
EK 16mm fittings and pipe
Mayhems pastel pink fluid
Originally it was a budget build but then a case came up for sale locally with the 420 rad and distro plate so i sold my 2060 super and bought the 2080 super,the gigabyte one had good reviews same with the mobo so they were upgraded at the same time,the psu just happened to be the one i bought when building the budget pc and will be upgraded at some point in the future as will the cpu.
Wish I'd looked more into the gpu though because no one makes a block for the rev2.0 so that may be changed in the near future for one i can watercool whether that will be a super or ti i dont know lol.

Do you have a drain port?

The pipe going through the mirrored floor has a valve on the end for draining

Gigabyte rtx 2080 super gaming oc rev2.0
The exact model number im not sure at the minute as im at work,
Was in emails with EK about it and they dont do a block

Thats the one i got

after finding out no one made a block for my card i decided it was time for a change so out with the super and in with the ti wrapped in a phanteks block.
i was torn between the ek and phanteks block but after seeing overclockers only had the phanteks in clear/nickel my mind was made up for me lol.

Beautiful system, you have many issues getting those bends looking so tidy

to be honest it was a lot easier than i expected.
its all gonna be redone at some point because im gonna try and get a 360 rad in the top,longer res tube and rearange the drain port layout.
there are some bends im not 100% happy with,some are tighter curves than others and im not too happy with the fluid because it seems to seperate overnight,probably just gonna go for clear and change the appearance as and when i like with the lighting

In a parallel system the overall flow rate must stay the same, so whichever is the least restrictive block will get slightly higher flow. I'd imagine there isn't much in it though.
At the end of the day, regardless of series of parallel config, the loop will reach equilibrium and the coolant temp will end up at the same point anyway.
It depends on how much lower the flow to the CPU ends up, below a certain level the cooling performance will start to drop quite dramatically. The tests I've seen say this is at about 1 gallon per minute. There is no way of knowing how much the CPU is getting in set ups like these but can be solved by just whacking up the pump speed if this is an option, or just living with the higher CPU temps if you are not bothered about a max overclock. Looks great though.

i honestly cant say if theres any detriment to temps using the distro because it was fitted when i done the water loop,
its all gotta be ripped apart,cleaned and refilled soon because the fluid is now tranparent pink rather than pastel,i did start running the pump at 100% in an effort to stop/slow down the seperation to no avail,i can see a lot of white residue in the gpu block so i guess theres some in the rads as well,temps have risen since the seperation started so its probably clogging the water channels in the gpu and cpu blocks.
probably just gonna go for clear,very wary of any pastel now although i do love the look im not gonna want to drain,clean and refill every other month
