Given the popularity of this case and probably been done to death but wanted to do a build thread for my first ever custom loop more for my own records if nothing else!
This was supposed to be a 5950x X570 Dark Hero build but given the lack of availability and me becoming increasingly bored of waiting I've gone for a stopgap 10900k for now and will swap to Ryzen 6000 later this year. Coming from a 3700x/2080ti build so not a massive jump but more me wanting to go all in on my first w/c rig. Thanks to @Curlyriff and @pete910 for making me spend a fortune on WC equipment
Spec
Already part installed some of the kit for testing and cable tidying (along with spare 960 as 3090 is in my current rig whilst I wait for parts)
