Nah he click-baited us
Dual system - It's a 9800x3D in the ITX board (not yet pictured), Threadripper system is ATX
Sorry about the delays in replying everyone, thanks for the messages.
As for your question, sorry but no. I was so excited when I got them I just stuck them in and now I don't want to have to remove them again.
I see you've already got your own sorted out though.
I'm very happy with them so glad you gave Radikult more business.

I actually put red in it as red with white has worked for me before, but I actually didn't like it that much when I did a test fill. I've had to remove the TRX50 board anyway as I had to RMA it so I took the opportunity to fully drain the loop and try a light blue instead.

Yeah, white can certainly be a pain. It's easier than it was a few years ago as more components are made in white nowadays, but some parts like the GPU blocks are still predominantly black so require a little bit more work/modding.

Anyways, very very close to finishing. I've put everything together, just waiting on a few power cables for the ITX system as I was sent the wrong colour.
So there are some forced changes. I had to think of alternatives to cooling the RAM. Since they're RDIMMS they're not typically compatible with after market RAM heatsinks. The previous photos showed some heatsinks which I couldn't get to be effective. So I found some Barrowch ones which I managed to make fit and have little fans in them. You can hear them, but when you've got 30x 120mm fans blowing as well it's not an issue. They make look a little over the top, but I think they still work in the build.
Even though I'm waiting for some more power cables I'll still fill the loop this weekend.

I'm actually not sure why I waited for the white ITX board, since you can't really see it...
But I guess if I've got everything else in white I may as well go 100%.
Here's a pic of the ITX board before I smothered it in other components.
Thanks for the update any pics of the tube routing from the itx board cpu to the GPU?Anyways, very very close to finishing. I've put everything together, just waiting on a few power cables for the ITX system as I was sent the wrong colour.

Here you go.
I do actuially have the loop going through the GPUs the 'wrong' way. As in I've got the fluid going into the out port and out of the in. It usually only makes about 3 degrees difference though, which for GPUs in a custom loop isn't really a concern.
What part of the title is wrong? There is an ITX system in the build?now.. the title dose say itx right? this thing is massive
Thanks again ... What is the strap piece you used to secure the bottom reservoir to the rear of the case (the one with the pumps attached)Sorry about the delays in replying everyone, thanks for the messages.

It's just a thin piece of aluminium (2mm I think) I cut from a longer strip I bought from a hardware store. I just cut it to size, drilled the holes and spray painted it white.
