Opinions so far

So after a lot of trial and error using the acrylic finding the best route for my ability this is what I've ended up with



I decided to get rid of the Ek had tube as the tube was actually slightly bigger then 16 mm od, got the monsoon one which is slightly under 16 mm but fits in all the way easily past both inner o rings, what do you guys think of a first time attempt? Now just have to fill it up

Looks pretty tidy. Good luck with the fill/leak test!

 

[malom]

Thanks, hopefully the fill/leak testing goes well, will find out tomorrow!

As long as you're happy with the way it looks, then that's all that matters

Good luck with that tubing/fitting combo.
I tried Monsoon 16mm tubing with both Barrow and the old style EK HD fittings and it proved to be a little too small and caused leaks.

It fitting very easily rings alarm bells over here

Looks good, on your cpu to the front rad is that a 90 degress fitting or a 90 bend on the tubing.

 

[NoNameNoNumber]

Acrylic does look smart. Shame that SSD is slower than poop. Really need to change mine :/

 

[malom]

The cup to the front rad if a 90degree fitting I couldn't do the bend properly kept on going too long or too short, I did do a sort of test to see if it leaked had some spare tube and fitting so plugged ine end and filled the tube and it seems good but I guess I'll find out tomorrow
Managed to get those ssds pretty cheap and for now they do he job

 

[D1craig]

that diagonal tube looks out of place. apart form that it all looks great.

Wouldnt you be better of going with 45 degress fittings.

Looks really good with hard tubing, I have the same case and just custom built my first water cooling loop in it.
What is the front Rad you are using? I am looking for something in either that size or maybe 280mm. The EK 360 rads are 400mm and end up just being 2-3mm off the screw holes.

You could make those runs much shorter with angled barbs.

So leak tested the computer, no leaks apart from a minor leak from the front rad to res, but that's was solved as I didn't tighten the fitting down properly on the res but otherwise looks good used Ek clear premix


And looks good plazyma, What pay is that looks awesome

 

[Uncle Petey]

Well that's a relief. Guess those new EK fittings are snugger than the old ones.

 

[This never ends well]

I would add some colour to them pipes, white or red.

 

[plazyma]

I had bought the x360 kit so I was just working with what I had with 0 experience, next one loop will be better.

What did you mean by pay malcom sorry?

 

[malom]

Lol Plazyma I meant what psu is that? Got autocorrected to pay, and yeah not sure how the old fittings were before but these are pretty snug and a good fit the Ek had tube just about reaches the o ring and that's with a lot of force these need a bit of persuasion

Planning on adding some colour at a later date just wanted to see how it looked clearly since it was my first build

 

[Uncle Petey]

You weren't going in dry were you?

 

[plazyma]

Ah right, that makes a bit more sense haha. It's the superflower leadex gold 1000w white, just got it last week.

What's the model of radiator you have at the front? Looking to add a front rad

 

[malom]

Lol at first it was dry but even when wet it was just too tight , the from radiator is a EK coolstream pe 240, that really is a nice looking psu btw

 

[GAM8LE]

Very nice
