I've always found custom loops a bit wanky.
A closed loop all-in-one cooler will be more than sufficient for any normal use case and if you're into competitive/hobbyist overclocking using modern components, you're going to need a liquid nitrogen/helium pot in order to get any kind of recognition from the other dweebs that do that shit.
Mind you, I know a handful of people that - with absolutely zero irony - have the baked in rainbow RGB LED cycle running on every single component and peripheral capable of displaying it from the moment they turn their PC on, until its switched off. Despite the fact that they're the only people witnessing the abomination for 99% of the time. So it's completely unsurprising that some of them also go through the relative expense of setting up a custom loop just because they think it looks awesome or gives them any kind of perceivable performance increase.

I never saw the point of that RGB stuff.
My PC runs pretty much 24/7 and I doubt I'd be able to sleep with all that going on. I prefer my computers to look like computers, not the inside of a 70s Turkish disco.
Hell, the only reason my PC has a window on the side is that it's almost impossible to find a good quality case without one.
P.S. Fuck blue LEDs.
