With the added weight from
liquid cooling the GPU, we
could have done with a GPU bracket to
level it out. This slight sagging on the
card is frustrating, to say the least.

Custom white cables

would have really

pieced this build together

nicely and matched the

aesthetic of the build.

2

We mixed and matched

our 14mm fittings but

this build probably would

have benefited from

choosing just one color.

3

We know RGB divides

opinions but this is a bold

colorful build. We could have gone

all-out and opted for Corsair’s

Dominator DDR5 RGB sticks.
