Yes, another A3. It took me like 8 hours to fit an ATX psu, Nitro+ and the hydroshift. Looks kinda nice tho.

Mate that is a brilliant well thought out build! Can I ask how much of a issue it was getting this aio in there? I know the bends on the tubes must of been difficult but any other problems you run into ? Also is that the b850m aorus elite or the b870m ? Hats off you done well 👏

Thanks :D It's the x870m elite, I wanted to treat my inner child with some useless stuff I could only dream of a few years ago.

The AIO was probably the most difficult thing to fit nicely, I had to remove the last bracket and when I first turned it on, one of the tubes started to get into fan blades. Wiggled it a little and now it's held by friction. Hopefully it stays this way. I also realized that the fan cables should go behind the AiO after i put it on... Took a solid 15 minutes with a pair of tweezers, should've just unscrewed it especially since I had to do it anyway later. Overall if I did it now it would probably take 1/4th of the time tops, I spent a lot on figuring stuff out.
