Idle is around 33 C.

In gaming the temps are around 35-45 C.

On 100% CPU load with Cinebench max temps are 54C. Fans are at 54%. I have no idea whether thats good or bad lol.

Well, you nailed the cable management at the back, its a shame you made such a mess on the front.

And god those hoses are LONG!! WAY TO LONG, you should deffinitly make the things you seed just as tidy as the places that you dont se!
 
i'll give you 10/10 for that cable management

but you really gotta re-do that tubing imo..
 
of UV coolant it doesn't look that reactive to the light, not like i would expect anyway.

love the fittings and the blocks :)
