* '''Cooling''': Added six Phanteks T30 fans and moved some others around. Flipped bottom cooling complexes to blow inside the case (up) rather than outside (down), as there otherwise wasn't enough air flowing into the machine. Inverted PSU-side XFLOW, and shortened associated coolant tubes. Added ball valve drainage to front bottom of mobo side. Moved DiyHZ sensor to front bottom of mobo side, eliminating tubing between Monsoon reservoir and XFLOW. Inserted NEXT where DiyHZ had been. Added some EKWB Quantum Torque Rotary 90° adapters to simplify tubing.

Coolant temperatures are sampled at both reservoirs. The Monsoon sensor feeds into the Corsair, while the Quantum sensors feeds into the motherboard. Ambient temperatures are sampled via two sensors immediately outside the rear of the motherboard side, towards the bottom. One feeds into the Corsair, and one feeds into the motherboard. Currently, all PWM is then controlled based off absolute coolant temperature, but ideally it would be controlled using the difference between coolant and ambient temperatures.

The Noctuas provide 102.1m³/h and 2.34mm H₂O each. The Phanteks provide 172m³/h and 7.11mm H₂O each.
The Noctuas provide 102.1m³/h and 2.34mm H₂O each. The Phanteks provide 114m³/h and 3.3mm H₂O each.


All fans are powered by a Corsair iCUE Commander Core XT capable of 4.5A. The Phanteks take 4.32W maximum for a total of 8.64W. The Noctuas take 1.68W maximum for a total of 3.36W. The four fans thus max out at 12W, 1A at 12V. In addition, the Corsair powers four LED strips at 1.835W each, for a total of 7.34W, 1.468A at 5V, and also the 1.56W (0.13A) NF-A14 on the front. The total draw is thus 2.598A.

===Project Pompidou===
My cabling situation on the PSU side is a mess. Inspired by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_Pompidou Centre Pompidou], I'm going to design and print skychannels in which to run the power cables. Ideally, none of them will be seen. To do this, I need:
* Channel ends which bind to the various PSU plugs
* Channels into which I can lay the cables, probably doubling them up. These channels will need run from the PSU to their targets.
* Something at the hookup points
==External links==
* [https://imgur.com/a/cl9Yf Project M8] by [https://www.reddit.com/user/p0Pe/ u/p0Pe] appears to have done something very similar to the Pompidou Project a full decade ago. nice work.
