I would love some feedback as this is my first ever experience watercooling!

Upon completion of my bachelor's degree in Computer Science, my family all pitched in to give me the opportunity to experiment with water cooling. Not only is this my first ever time water cooling, I got the chance to build a PC with not one but TWO water-cooling loops. The computer came out amazing, partially due to how good the featured Primochill VUE liquid looks pumping all over the place. I recorded the vast majority of the build so I could edit a video that I could show either future employers or just show the world. Thanks to everyone that came over to help build and thanks to my family for giving me the chance to build this beast machine.

Nice build, could have easily been a single loop with 1/2 the watercooling components, but turned out well.

Not a fan of colored liquids since they lose their colors overtime and leave a bit off gunk in the loop. Also you didn't mix metals right? I don't think you did but just asking.

EK only use copper/nickel/brass in their mainstream hardware blocks and have only recently begun using aluminum in their budget cooling kits, but they are reportedly ALL aluminum to prevent corrosion...as long as you don't mix any yourself.

I also am not a huge fan of colored coolants - plus, anything added to plain distilled water is technically an insulator, so you're diminishing the cooling potential by using coolant.

Also noticed the PCPartPicker list...$900+ for the motherboard??? Not sure why this was needed as the money could have gone towards a lot of other things, unless they didn't pay that.
