Make sure your pump and hoses flow significantly more than your 2 blocks individually. I would personally be slightly concerned, whether one of the blocks "hogs" most of the flow due to less restriction, when running them in parallel like this. Then again; the temps will probably tell you anyway.

Temps are flawless, not gone over 40c on both GPU and CPU while stress testing, tbh I did go in blind and very glad of the results

The dust.. I can only imagine the dust. But it looks cool! Great work.

Open case builds aren't any more dusty than your house.

Run an air purifier and vacuum regularly.

Electricity causes static electricity which the dust is attracted to.

Why did you watercool the parts in parallel, not in series like it's usually done?

Its abit different, and I would normally do pump > rad > CPU > rad > gpu > and back to pump but with my new case/layout and the amount of tubing I would of either had to do pump > rad > CPU > GPU > rad. I don't like the idea of passing water directly over a hot components from a hot components so pump > rad CPU/GPU > rad > pump, works for me.
