So after two days of learning what you can and can not do with hard-tubing using fittings for the connections I was able to make some nice progress and I think it looks good.

The loop is now complete and the custom sleeved cable have arrived so that means if everything works as intended I will be able to leak test the system tomorrow.

ok, the system had a leak, but is fixed now and so far no more leaks have shown up so tomorrow I will be able to finish it hopefully

It's done and does work very good.

Nice, congrats on the successful build.

Any particular reason why you're still using Windows 8 though? Just curious.

Not much of an AMD fan - Intel master race, but great machine you got there, with some great benchmarks!

Thanks

Windows 10 still shows up in Cinebench as Windows 8.

I'm quite impressed with the wiring job you've done on that, one of the neatest rigs I've seen.

That is a thing of beauty!

Hey Bridger, have you got any issues with the Rams speed and performance in relation to the overclock of the CPU. According to Linus Tech, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFXetkP22lE&t=406s at 5:50 approx, hey said they didnt have much luck getting past 2666mhz (ram speed).

Ok there are a few points you have to consider.

1.) The Ram I am using was made by GSkill for Ryzen and is so far still the best

2.) The video made by Linus was made very shortly after the release of Ryzen and the platform has come a very long way and the Ram support has been improved by a lot so you could reach the max Overclock with other Ram but there is no guarantee of that except you buy the same Ram I did.

One last thing to answer about the temps:

Thy system is dead quite and runs about 36-40°C at idle after a Stresstest of two hours the system did not get hotter and 60°C and was still dead quite.
