Don't think I ever actually posted pictures of my EVGA + Lian Li build that I put together last year right around when the Z390 Dark Mobo was released. Lot of great conversations on that mobo in that section here that greatly aided in finishing the project. If I remember correctly, the motherboard was purchased within seconds of release, at my door a couple days later, and Phase 1 of the build was up and running less than 48 hours after that. After a little while of using my old 780Ti Classys, I snagged 2 x 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra GPUs, and put em on water once the Hydrocopper blocks came out. 
 
Minus the case, it's pretty much an all out EVGA build. I absolutely LOVED working with the Z390 Dark mobo. The combination of the right angle connectors and the board's overall logical layout made it incredibly easy to wire up. I had two major goals for this build. The first was to use the space inside the Lian Li, take advantage of the case's real estate. After mounting 3 radiators, and the very featured-esque position of the res/pump combo, I feel that goal was met. The second was ensure a logical tubing route. After performing some light surgery to the case (removing a piece of metal at the bottom for the bottom rad, and drilling a circular hole at the top right for the front rad), I feel that the tubing route is "almost" perfect. The change I'd "possibly" make here is to drill two more circular holes, one directly underneath the top right for the front fitting of the front rad, and one top left for the rear fitting of the top rad. I'd then move the long horizontal tubing to run behind the case, to the rear fitting of the top rad and have its front fitting connect to the CPU. Very minor with pros and cons to both approaches. Overall though, I'm very happy with the end result and feel that this second goal was certainly met as well.
 
I posted a full build log over at Overclockers.com which can be seen via the link below. Details the overall build, experienced challenges, design ideas, etc.

Thanks for looking!
 

Very nice
How cool does it run ?

Great custom loop with plenty of cooling

Runs great! The 9900k was a 5.0 bin from Silicon Lottery and is now rock solid at 5.2GHz across all cores, will get to low 70s on Prime95 but never gets close to that under normal loads including games. I ran various benchmark tests without the GPUs in the system to see what I could get the CPU and Ram to run at. Been awhile since I ran all the typical tests, but I believe I remember them correctly. See below...
 
Stable CPU OCs WITHOUT GPUs
5.0GHz @ 1.285 Vcore
5.1GHZ @ 1.300 Vcore
5.2GHZ @ 1.340 Vcore (Final OC w/o GPUs)
 
Stable Memory OCs WITHOUT GPUs
4,133MHz / 17-17-17-37 / 1.40v
4,133MHz / 16-17-17-37 / 1.425v pretty sure that was it
4,133MHz / 16-16-16-37 / 1.45v (Final OC w/o GPUs)
 
I had to increase the CPU Vcore and increase the RAM timings a bit once the GPUs were in the system. They were in for a bit before I added them to the loop, luckily the CPU temps didn't increase much after both adding them to the loop and increasing the Vcore. But was experiencing some boot issues with the non GPU OCs, so retested.
 
Final Stable OCs WITH GPUs
5.2GHZ @ 1.375 Vcore 
4,133MHz / 16-17-17-37 / 1.45v
 
GPUs benchmarked at 2055Mhz Core, 8000Mhz Memory. At one point the build was on a couple 3DMark leaderboards, Timespy, Port Royal, and Firestrike if I remember right.
 
 
Picture of the desk setup. Asus 1440p 144hz IPS, Uplift standing desk, Paradigm CE speakers matched with a Paradigm passive sub being powered by an AudioSource Integrated Amp. Basic DAC is connected to the mobo via Toslink for external digital to analog conversion, then RCA out to the AudioSource. Headphones are Sennheiser HD600. I use these both with my home audio system and the computer. They're actually terrific for gaming.

Rotate the RAM light diffusers 180 deg.

Rotate the RAM light diffusers 180 deg.

What do you mean? Not following

The logos on your RAM light diffusers are upside down. Unclip the diffusers, rotate them 180 degrees and clip them back on so the logos are right side up. The diffusers are symmetrical, they will fit.

Ah gotcha, didn't know those are called diffusers. Don't think I've ever thought about pulling them off. Tough to unclip?

Very helpful! I'll have to get around to this at some point soon.
 
I'm in the midst of trying to merge some 3DMark accounts, have some scores accidentally scattered across a couple.
