Horizontal light base Upgraded to a 7800X3D/ Sapphire Pulse 7900 XT with an OLED ultrawide after running dual 1080P monitors for a decade.

• 7800X3D CPU
• 7900XT Graphics card
• B650M Riptide wifi mobo
• Skill 2x16GB DDR5 CL30 ram
• Bequiet 600LX Light Base case
• Currently 1x 240mm and 1x 360mm Corsair XR5 radiators

Running a Quadro for fan/pump monitoring and control. I might add an additional 360 rad and switch up the intake and exhaust in the future, but so far thermals and noise levels have been great. This was my first watercooled build, I wanted something clean but I also wanted to play with some RBG which is new to me too. I love the horizontal orientation of this case; it was fairly easy to build in. I tried to buy as many components second hand as possible, to help keep the overall budget down. Managed to get good second hand deals on: CPU, Graphics card, both radiators and a handful of fittings including the Barrowch flowmeter, monitor, keyboard (already had the mouse). Cheers Daz for supplying the remainder of the WC components. Build was super fun, absolutely loving this rig. I’ll definitely watercool again in the future!   The Alphacool parts were:

1. Alphacool Eisbecher Aurora D5 Acetal/Glas – 150mm with D5 VPP655 PWM Pump
2. Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl RX 7900XTX/XT Nitro with Backplate
3. Alphacool Core 1 LT Aurora Acrylic AM4/AM5/LGA1700
4. I also used an Alphacool aRGB y-splitter but didn’t include that in the submission.
