Old Skool Water Cool

I know hard tubing and fish tank cases and lots of RGB are all the rage. But I'm of the opinion, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

So I present my 10 year old Cooler Master HAF Stacker, with dual Swiftech 360 radiators, one an MCR Drive with integrated MCP35X pump, and a matching Swiftech Apogee XL block. While completely overkill for CPU cooling alone, I plan to purchase an Alphacool Aurora block for the new RX 7900 XT courtesy of AMD Red Team!

The rest of the system:
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
Gigabyte B550 Gaming X
32GB G.Skill DDR4-3600
Radeon RX 7900 XT
1TB WD Black SN770
2x2TB WD Black SATA
Silverstone Gold 750W

Did you get your water block for the RX 7900 XT video card?  I want to see this upgrade.....

Good call out BigAl, was waiting for it (the Alphacool Aurora Acryl block and Acetal terminal) to come back in stock on modmymods.com and fell off the radar.

There are several blocks for the 7900XTX but the reference design of the 7900XT is different enough that there are not a lot of options available.
