I did consider doing a build log but had a few challenges along the way and forgot to take pics as I went



With the side glass on


The motherboard block and top part of the loop


Different Angle, PSU and fittings plastidipped white. The front Hwlabs 240mm rad and the top Hwlabs 360mm rad both were paint stripped, sanded, primed and painted satin white


slightly blurry but closer shot of gpus, both gigabyte g1 gtx1070 plastidipped white


Ek revo d5 dual pump


main mod work, was originally a solid orange piece. The ROG eye was cnc milled, painted satin white, then glued a custom cut plexi block on the back and embedded blue leds into the plexi for effect (inspiration from EKs plexi cpu blocks)

Amazing.
But I think you should use benefits of ... this is dual D5 Revo and for GPU.
Dual pump is smart. I will try somehow to connect PC shot down if temp of coolant go above 65C because only single pump.

It would be nice to have some software with shut down option and if temp of coolant reach 60C start loud alarm, RGB LED Diode blink Red and 70C shut down to prevent damage for watercooling parts. Like nuke power plant.

Tyvm Vlada, I did think of gpu waterblocks but decided to paint and use the default gpu coolers mainly due to how silent they run and between the white of the cooler, blue of the leds and black of the fans the add a nice visual effect particularly when close up. On your loop idea pretty sure if u add a loops temp sensor into one of the temp headers on some ROG mobos they can change their leds from blue to red depending on temp and shutdown if limit reached

Trying to decide whether to switch it up and redo in a black/green/ gunmetal theme, any thoughts?
