The second EK Quantum hardline loop out of the shop — a 9950X3D under the Velocity² block, a TUF RTX 5080 on airflow duty, and a reservoir tower glowing like a lantern in the HS 420.

The loop, refined

Same EK Quantum recipe as its 5090 sibling — Velocity² block, Surface S360, Kinetic TBE 200 D5 — plumbed in hand-bent Bykski acrylic and leak-tested for 24 hours before first boot.

Telemetry on the fan wall

Three 140mm TL LCD reverse fans carry live CPU temp, CPU load, and GPU temp dials — readable through the glass in every theme from ice white to full red.

Performance profile

Why this build stands out

Ryzen 9 9950X3D — under the block

16 Zen 5 cores with 3D V-Cache on a full EK Quantum loop — sustained all-core loads, whisper quiet.

TUF RTX 5080 — 16GB GDDR7

High-refresh 1440p with ease and real 4K at Ultra, in ASUS's military-grade shroud.

Hardline, done properly

Hand-bent acrylic runs and black Bykski fittings frame the chamber — the plumbing is the centerpiece.

1250W ATX 3.1 power

MSI's MPG A1250GS PCIE5 II runs the whole system on native 16-pin power with 80+ Gold efficiency.

Build notes

The story

Build #063 is the sibling of the shop’s first custom loop — photographed the day before it, sharing the same EK Quantum recipe: Velocity² block on a 9950X3D, Surface S360 up top, Kinetic TBE 200 reservoir standing in the side chamber, hand-bent Bykski acrylic connecting it all. This one runs a TUF RTX 5080 and a 1250W MSI platform.

Two custom loops built back-to-back, both leak-tested for 24 hours before any silicon saw power. The fan-wall LCDs show the results in every gallery shot.
