    A bit of a long time EK fan (my Supremacy has seen me though Phenom's, FX's and briefly put on the Ryzen until a leak gave the Mrs an excuse to demand that I go back to aircooling like a normal person.

    I had the Acetal FC block for the Vega which I never got around to fitting, this morning I upgraded that to the RGB version.

    Faff about with little screws and thermal pads for an hour or so gets you this

    While searching for something in the attic, I found my original EK block - The original Supreme!

    EK Rad will sit in the bottom and I have the drainage for the loop plumbed in

    Basically a 90deg fitting with the tube fed though the rad mount to a tap.

    Trying out Alphacool fittings this time around, quality seems good and pricing not insane like the Bitspower stuff

    The Velocity fits in nicely with the Asus Prime colour scheme
