The RAM is here! And by god is it pretty!
Fits this project perfectly, also look at how close the tube run is!
I had to adjust the height of the top run to squeeze in the RAM, but it's in now and working

Specs: 2x8GB DDR4 @3000mhz
Team Group T-Force NightHawk RGB White

Sooo.... We ran into complications with the custom res and bubble cooling.
While it works 100% well with the CPU only, it really didn't like the 1080Ti included.
In fact, the reservoir split in the bottom after 4 hours of stress testing.

So i had to quickly re-think some things to get this project done as fast as possible.
While the idea for bubble cooling may be a bust, the design idea is still in play.

From Alphacool
The Eisbecher Lite 250mm reservoir

I'm using Mayhems pastel orange coolant for this

The NexXxoS XT45 420MM Radiator

And those fittings you see are the Alphacool Eiszapfen angled adaptor 90° rotatable

I changed out the legs to something much much better and more fitting.
But i'll reveal them later this week with the finished build.

sorry to hear about the bubble. Would you not be able to do that for its own loop and then the Aorus Ti in its own standard loop?

still get to keep the concept but tweaked to get it working

If the reservoir hadn't burst yes, but i don't have time to order more acrylics, seal and get the rig out to show.
Will need to wait until it's back, then re-do it all. Time is always the issue

Ah sweet, Mayhem's and Alpha finally getting the warranty claims and issues sorted with using the fluids with the pumps, seems they are fine bar the 775 which is recommended by both they are incompatible .
