I have compression valves and have never had an issue before. I forgot to close one of the unused inlets off on one of the GPU blocks and didn’t do any of the things I was supposed to do like only connecting the pump so nothing has power, all my own fault trying to do loads of things at once after a rebuild. I went from air to AIO to full loop over the years and this is the first issue I’ve had.

Aesthetics aside mate and I did it because i could, unless you are overclocking to some ridiculous speeds then I don't really see the need for it if I'm being honest and a 240/360mm AIO is more than enough to keep your CPU at a good temp.
I can see why a watercooler on the GPU would be nice but again, id need to see how reliable they are first. My 3080 during a AAA title gets fairly noisy as the fans get going and even though the temp is fine, never gets above 70c as far as i can see, id like the noise to go and if a watercooler on the GPU helped its something id look at.
I have 3 x GPU blocks, 1 x CPU block, 2 x M2 blocks, 1 RAM x block, 2 x pumps and 2 x 420mm radiators, all Corsair and linked to 2 x Commander pros and an RGB hub. Not currently running any blocks other than the GPUs as I have it in a mining frame and it’s too tight. There are 6 140mm fans on the radiators in total so water cooling isn’t silent by any means.
Can you wank to porn on it?
Why bother? I can get coke and hookers with the profit.
That is mind blowing to me.
I run with 3 x 120mm fans drawing air in with 1 x 120mm pushing out the back and a 240mm radiator pushing out at the top off the CPU. GPU has of course 3 fans on it.
It’s more than enough for me as I never, ever OC but your system is simply incredible.

This old girl with an overclocked 6700k CPU and a 1080ti GPU holds up remarkably well I must say. Runs completely silent just a few degrees over ambient temps and never more than 60C on the gpu at full throttle. Also have another 9900k with a 2080ti but I havent come around to putting it under water yet so I mostly leave it chewing along at Nicehash in another room.
I will recommend a nice little program called Argus Monitor to take full control of all the fans in your rig. I think it costs around 10 usd but well worth the money.

I assume you mean TB for the NVME/SSD/HDD?
