Hi again
So after a few minor setbacks I'm as ready as I'll ever be to fit the water cooling into my system tomorrow, I've read countless guides and viewed many many videos, but theres nothing quite like IMO some personal help and feedback.
The main worries I have at the moment are...
Tubing and compression fittings, the tubing is extremely tight to fit over the compression barb, it does fit over eventually I just need to work it over gradually. My concern is putting too much pressure on connected components, any tips for getting the tubing over hassle free?
Fitting the GPU full cover blocks, is the suggested method from EK the best one? two cross pattern of paste (have MX-4) over the chip, thermal pads over everything else and a dab of paste on each stand-off/spacer to hold them in place?
Also any other general tips or things to look out for that I may have missed in the guides is most welcome
Thanks in advance, and a huge thanks to everyone thats helped me out so far - a wonderful forum.
