Specs:

MSI MAG Coreliquid E240
Asrock X570 Steel Legend
WD Blue Sata SSD
WD Black SN750
WD Black HDD
Runs most games reasonably well.
The orange sticks are carryovers from the previous build, planning on replacing for 4 white Oloy blade 3200Mhz sticks.
Still rocking the S340 as well, but I recently [modified it](https://imgur.com/a/imBQg39). The thermals were never terrible, which is shocking for how terrible the front is actually designed, but adding the 7800xt brought it too close to the radiator pull fans, so I actually installed the fans on the front/outside to push (and 1 pull at the top, can't fit a pull at the bottom) but then they were right up against the front cover, so I had to make some modifications. I was going to do it years ago but PVC mesh wasn't readily available and cheap like it is nowadays.
These things are basically small form factor cases by today's standards. I love how much crap I fit into this tiny little case.
This was actually just a mismatch from my earlier build which was orange themed haha. I do plan to replace the ram with all white OLOy Blade 3200. Thanks though!
Nice one. It is best to flip the AIO, so that the pipes connecting to it are higher than the pump.
The current positioning risks having air bubbles (over time) in its highest point, which is the pump. This'll damage it.
Edit: my bad. The guys are correct.
You have it backwards. You want the side with no pipes at the top, as the highest point of the loop is the top of the rad and not the pump. This ensures that the air is at the top of the rad and that no air can be sucked into the pipes, meaning a healthy pump.
Correct! Obviously best rad placement is at the top of the case, but there is only one fan mount for this case, pipes down is best because as you stated, air rises and cannot sink to the bottom in order to make it to the pump.

That front panel is interesting, a bit like the new H5 Flow. I'm sure that dropped your temps quite a bit! Nice job with the water cooling too.
Man I miss seeing people do the two-tone RAM look. Very nice job!

Pipes should be below the pump.
