Just wanted a place we can all discuss our loops and what temps do we get with what components.
I will post my pictures and details when I get home, for now a sneak peek…
actually got 3 res and 3 rads--1 x 240 rad 1 x 280 1 x 360 lol
and yes its overkill but they were lying about so thought would experiment a bit as wondered if you get enough fluid in there will there be a point where the amount of coolant with the fans at minimum will go beyond the point that the cpu can heat up very much
specs
z170 oc formula board by asrock
6600k at 4.7ghz will probably go further not really pushed it at all this board has bios overclocking stuff i never even heard of before and still well below 1.4v for 4.7ghz
gtx970 custom modded bios 1550mhz pushed it to over 1600mhz before but the little extra speed wasnt worth the voltage to get 75mhz more
look forward to seeing it without the paper towels in the way
puts mine to shame but i am just that kind of person--no matter how hard i try will never get it to look as good as yours
but on the plus side things i do always work well even if they dont look the best
so even though its very hot here today my temps are still great which is the main thing for me--guess i am a function first form second kind of person--or

just untidy as my partner tells me lol
this was all luck not skill. I'm glad you think this looks good. Post some of pictures of your set up

32gb 3000mhz corsair
2 x samsung 512gb ssds
1 samsung 512gb m2 nvme--this board can take 3 x m2 drives--once they come down more in price will be filling the other 2 m2 slots
swiftech apogee xl cpu block
ek gpu block
2 pumps for redundancy if ones fails dont need to drain it all immediately as 1 pump still does plenty
6 mechanical drives used in windows storage spaces
nzxt hue+ led lighting
forget what else is in there lol luckily its a huge case
temps i dont bother with prime95 etc as think its unrealistic compared to what you actually do in daily use
but if max cpu and gpu out by running tons of software games etc last time i checked gpu was in the 45--50c range and cpu 55--60c
