Got rid of the 4 way splitter

When I first got the Astral 5090 btf oc it came with that ugly 4 way bulky A$$ splitter, that thing should be thrown out before first use in gaming or benching. Pin 1 was always hanging low, one time benching Nomad and Pin 3&5 kicked out high. I got the CableMod E-Series Pro going straight in my 1600 EVGA PSU. I could see a difference in the currents of the Pins immediately. So I added the TG ProII to be on the safe side even though I set up Alert settings in HWiNFO. I only wished the usb 5pin->usb-c would be a bit longer.

Tried to smack a water block on the Astral 5090 OC BTF but it's a negative on the block. I was going to send it back but the look kinda grew on me. tried to bend the copper tubing but 1mm wall was breaking every time, I kinda figured it so I used some leftover elbows I had. I might swap some things out, while I clean my other rig with the i-9 13900k/ EVGA 3090ti.
