Running this since 2019, definately not a new thing for me.

Dr_b_Cool mod, you got your rad up front?

Chrispy_I think I must be a heathen; I have the plain Eisdecke acetal zero-RGBLED top for my D5 which sits under the power supply shroud out of sight. I run a Y piece into the inlet and hide about half a meter of tube in a large S shape that ends in a fill-port with a bung that I can access by pulling the front cover off my case.

Small reservoirs don't make sense to me when a long fill tube is more convenient, and large reservoirs are surely just vanity projects to take up all the empty space in an ATX case that used to be for 3.5" drives.

TiggerMy tube res is not too big. I always thought more volume means more heat capacity for the water. Probably completely wrong

Chrispy_Heat capacity is almost pointless though; it's just a buffer. If your loop can't dump out the heat your components put into it, you have a problem.
Increasing the size of the buffer just means that you can muddle through for a few minutes more before things go horribly wrong. The buffer itself solves absolutely nothing and takes up valuable space.

TiggerThere is at least valuable space in my case.

And i am sure my 2 360mm rads are easily enough without any muddling through.
