* '''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.
