Starting again.

[opstrat]

morning all

when i first started watercooling only a few months ago, i admit i rushed the whole job. i slowly gaind parts old/new from various places and when it came to the build i just threw it all together.

As you can see from the pics things arnt as nice as i would like.

so lets start again.

i have called in favours from people with far more expertise than myself

we have my dad a structural engineer. my sister a design graduate from the glasgow school of art, and lastly my friend allan and architect to draw it all up for me.

i will put this into project logs once it is complete but for now i would like to keep it here incase i run into problems and have to consult you guys

i will give you a hint of what it will be. Think duel loop.

thanks for reading, i will update as parts start to arrive.

Interesting

I'm in the same boat, I've rushed my last 3 loops/rebuilds and pretty much hated it cosmetically afterwards for this reason.

I have two builds up coming, one will be in here, a small make shift build using a bench table with a 360+120 loop, the second a larger build will be a full project log with a 1080+360 in an XSPC cube case, I intend to take my time with both this time.

How did you find the monsoon fittings? I've been hearing quite a few contrasting comments on them.

 

[opstrat]

The monsoons are very nice, but i used 1/2 3/4 tubing, so places like the heatkiller v3 block and the alphacool pump top cant take them side by side due to the size them.

Thats another reason for starting again, i have all different fittings from the white monsoons to silver compressions and black 90 degree angles.

 

[pgi947]

Ahh, besides the compression rings clashing on certain blocks (seems a fairly common problem with certain blocks and certain compressions) would you rate them?

I'm looking at the orange 7/16 versions, aiming for a black/orange contrast in my final build.

 

[opstrat]

aye would reccomend them mate. i do know someone on here had a problem with his being seized up and couldt unscrew them. didnt have that problem myslef.

i will say be carefull when using the tool, try not chip the paint work.

 

[opstrat]

right, bit of an update,

got most of the parts sorted just waitong on some ek universal gpu blocks which are seriously hard to come by stock.

appologies for the pics, borrowed my sisters camera and didnt change the settings, so be prepared for blue.
