My 1st ever build with custom liquid cooling

[StuffSneak]

Hello all, built this a year or more ago. This was my 1st ever build. Before this I had a Asus ROG laptop which is still working but quite old now.

I did research a lot on PC parts, watched a lot of videos obviously and dared to do this.

When I started 1st time, it didn't actually post but then I manually updated the MSI Bios as it was not supporting my 5800X natively and luckily everything went smooth after that.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor

clean job on the wiring. i'd have just went with one 2tb m2 ssd. they're quite affordable nowadays. and 32gb of ram. 16 imo falls flat if you try to do anything serious

Nice job on the wiring! I'd suggest using a 2TB M.2 SSD, as they're affordable now. Also, consider upgrading to 32GB of RAM; 16GB can be limiting for serious tasks.

With all the fans and custom cooling, how are your temps holding up, especially with the RTX 3070 under load?
