Hello! Just keen on getting some tips and advice on my current build.
I am currently doing a hardline custom loop in the Phanteks Shift case. However, i cannot fit a reservoir in the loop. I was thinking of running my loop as you would normally and have quick disconnects on the lines going to an external reservoir. Then once the loop is finished and all air is removed, simply removing it from the loop. This is my first custom loop, and only my second computer I've built so all advice is appreciated.
Amended Problems and Additional Work
I used 5mm Thermal Padding under the monoblock to touch the chips. The PSU has been moved to one side to fit the GPU behind it. Front exhaust fan has been moved to one side to accomodate the GPU's waterblock. I am unable to use the AIO pump header due to the monoblock but it isn't necessary. All fans are connected to the CPU header with adapters. All original RGB LEDS have been removed and replaced with custom UV Black LEDS.
