Thanks much appreciated.
I believe it’s WK Water Blocks Scarlett Red, also the mount is from Phanteks, I’m sure there are other vertical mounts too.

I used blood red from xspc and mayhems and both don't look as good as that. Nice job
Do any vertical mounts work in any case?
Soldato
The white lighting I have on the res and gpu help bring the colour out too.
Not sure tbh you would have to look, it simply plugs in the pcie then you would have to find a way to mount it. The Phanteks Evolv X case already comes with the ability to mount vertical.
I posted this in the project logs thread but here's a picture of my build:

Upgraded my kraken x62 AIO for my 7940x and the air cooler for the 2080ti FE which was reaching about 80 degrees in some games.
First hardline build, fairly content, when i next drain the loop i might add a vertical GPU mount and adjust some tubes.
CPU Led is bust so i eventually need to replace the lights inside... sigh...
Still tinkering.

Absolutely stunning still, well done!Upgraded my kraken x62 AIO for my 7940x and the air cooler for the 2080ti FE which was reaching about 80 degrees in some games.

Where did you get the distribution plate from?
Soldato
I’ve thought about one before for my wgx rog but means losing the 360mm radiator.
Does look very nice though, especially for a first attempt. Nice, clean and open.
I’d also vertical mount mine if I didn’t have the soundcard in the way :/.

I have 3 in mine currently. Putting the distribution plate in mine means losing a fair bit of rad space.
That’s a pretty recent pic, really should update. But I now have different board and 9900k etc.
CableMod also do one as well, I would like one but they are a little pricey! Looks wicked vertical though!
I used a distro board to try and tidy up the pipe work, I also had to incorporate the fact my motherboard is watercooled and the distro board did not initially support it, but eventually did a work around.
I purchased a custom psu shroud form the lads at ColdZero - excellent quality and awesome communication.
All of the parts was purchased from overclockers
Feel free to comment or suggest any modifications to make it look better - always looking for ways to improve.

Do you have any more pics of this? I have this case and looking at my first watercooling attempt.

I will update later if you need more but here is another older picture. Anything you specifically need info or pictures on? I’ll post my thoughts and tips on the case in a spoiler below.
I have as current just the bottom and top 360mm radiators the side I removed in favour of noise performance and as a side fresh air intake. Hasn’t made much difference to temps that I can notice. But it is quieter as I can run 3 fans slower and I have covered the side panel intake so it pulls air through the back of the case. Much quieter too.
A rad in the back is hard work and will only fit a EKWB 360 SE slim radiator. And even then the front headers such as the usb-c block had to be cut down.
The rest has been relatively easy. Bottom is the same 28mm Ekwb SE slim. Top is a 38mm Ekwb PE, I wouldn’t recommend any thicker due to motherboard clearances.
Temps are good at around 45c max on the gpu and around 60-65c max (gaming) on the cpu which is a 9900k at 5.2ghz Delidded. Rear of the case and side door is noise cancelling foam padded to reduce noise.

I am unsure of what you mean?
If its RAM, its very impressive as I have had over 5000Mhz on RAM frequency and my daily config is 4000 C16 but that's using a different RAM kit to what's in that picture. The kit in the picture tops out at around 4500'ish.
I need to update these pictures, as I have added all the bits for the final loop other than the cabling.
Measuring Latency Mon with the system and how stable 1000Hz polling rate for mice is with the board using mouse tester. https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/8c86ep/help_understanding_mousetester_graphs/
I've always read mixed results with different boards.
