Old build.
 
This is a planned refresh since a long time ago. This isn't really an upgrade. The base hardware is still the same, I'm still running the same 7920X CPU, the motherboard is still X299 and the videocards are still the same, I haven't upgraded to RTX 2080 Ti's. I only replaced my Strix X299 board with Prime X299 Deluxe. Moved my 10G network card to the slot between the videocards.
 
Loopwise I replaced all clear tubing with black one, added a drain valve and added a flow meter, then I removed it, thus it's not on the photos. The flow meter was barely registering any RPM signal, due to low pump speed, so I removed it.
 
Next time I'll move to a new case, and will try a hardline tubing, because the amount of extenders, adapter, and fittings I used to keep straight runs is getting out of hands. The run between the back radiator and the top videocard uses 6 parts, and the run between the front radiator and the res uses 13 parts.
 
What do you think?

    Very Nice Rig 
     
    I see the EK blocks - Are the fittings also EK ?
     
    I've been very happy with my Alphacool radiators

    No, I used a mixture of Bitspower, Barrow and other unknown brand fittings. The only EK parts are the waterblocks and the D5 dual bay res.

    Nice clean build yet it looks like the PCB's of your 1080 Ti's looks a it warped unless it's from the camera lens hmm.
    Love the Icy bluehue's too, great job for the rest

    The PCBs are fine, the powerlinks are a bit angled.
