    Yup it's still the 2400G. I got this specific CPU water block because it's compatible with AM5 with just some AM5-specific stand-offs. Hope for an upgrade some time later this year (though inflation says otherwise).

    Looks like an x570 board? Could just drop a 5800X 3d in there and get all the performance you'd want or need. Hell, normal 5800x would do very nicely, even a 5600 would be a huge upgrade.

    Got myself a "little"upgrade:
    Ryzen 9 7950X3D
    NZXT N7 B650e (to match MrsYuu's, but in black)
    Gskill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB
    Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

    Still in the same case. Draining the loop was a nightmare. So was getting to the DP cable. So I decided to do what I do best, a "hack" job (the best bit is debatable).

    Before the cuts:

    Finally able to reach the GPU cables

    Test fit. It's amazing that such a massive and heavy case has absolutely no space.

    Complete (but powered off). The reservoir touches the GPU and it's bracket.

    Very cool, how do you find Corsair for fan noise/airflow? I hear conflicting information?

    It gets quite noisy when the fans spin up to max speed, but I guess 6 fans that's expected.

    Ah so you PWM them versus a static rpm?

    As recommended by @The_Crapman they're PWM based on liquid temperature.

    Do you find they ramp up and down a lot, or does the sheer size of that rad keep the temps/noise down a fair bit of the fans?
