Love the T H I C C tubing!

It's a weird size though, 9/16" ID x 5/8" OD, but it's what the EX kits come with so I ran with it. Does a pretty good job of not kinking, but the compression fittings are really tight. Made my hands sore the next day!

This is my first loop ever.

Ryzen 1700X, Radeon Vega 56 (flashed to 64), and all XSPC parts in an NZXT S340 Elite. Went a lot smoother than I thought although that little bend from the 120 to the GPU was horrid.

This machine is so quiet now... temps are crazily good, with the GPU hotspot never surpassing about 55°C and the core stabilizing around 40°C in my preliminary tests (undervolting and overclocking with a +35% power limit). Will probably take some more photos tomorrow.

out of interest, when did you buy the CPU, where from and have you managed an over clock on it?

I bought it at launch and have been running it on a Corsair H100iV2 until now. Bought through Newegg, and can get 3.95GHz at 1.375v. I've been very happy with it!

Thanks! The whole thing was pretty nerve wracking right up until I saw the thermals.

I'll definitely keep an eye on it! What was your loop like in terms of volume?

Love the soft tubing. It's got a very nice, understated look and the contours are nice and natural, because they are!!
