Here are two updates back to back:

I tired to set up a small GPU loop but ran out of time to troubleshoot this setup. I needed to do some 3D rendering work, so I had to put the rig back together. Here’s the custom loop (non functional) Note the Cryorig fan is blow “ downwards” towards the cpu.


And here it is where my graphic card is cooled with NZXT G10 + Corsair H75 + 2x ML120 fans, and Gelid Icy Vision VRM heatsink to get things going relatively quickly. The CPU is cooled with a Thermalright AXP-200 with a Cryorig XT140 fan. I think the XT140 has slightly higher performance than the Thermalright TY-14013 fan (~70 vs 60 cfm). For airflow, there are two ML140 fans on the front, top exhaust, bottom intake.

Note here the Cryorig fan is pulling air through the cpu heatsink towards the glass. Temps improved by 10c when I flipped the fan. 



Once I get a chance, I might switch the cpu to a Corsair H75 as well so that it gets cold air from a vent instead of warm air from the GPU.
