Watercool Mora IV announced

This is how things look at the moment, ive prepped a couple of things ready for the setup like fitted the RAM block, the radiator at the top will be coming out, it has too really as ive got no where else to run the pipes out of the back of the case, so with the Radiator out and the 3 fans moved up, i'll have plenty of room for the tubing, ive flushed the system out using an RO tap, its currently running distilled water, but as you can see, it still looks a bit green, so its going to need a few more flushes, i'll be replacing the tubing anyway, I just want to make sure the blocks and pump are clean as they cant be stripped down, I brought a 5 litre bottle of mayhems XT1 clear UV blue liquid from OCuk to fill the system with once its all done, due to the size of the case I dont think theres going to be anyway of avoiding 90 degree fittings etc as theres no where else in the case to put that pump / res combo, Ive just added some lines to the picture as a rough idea of where im going to run the tubing, but we'll see what works best when building and if I can avoid using so many bends, I think it will only end up being 2 pump res side, one on the ram block and maybe a 45 degree on the CPU as it heads out to the Mo-Ra.

Looks like a solid plan. Doing the GPU as well?
 

Barrow Quick Disconnect QDC（Silver shiny） TZKMF-V2_巴罗散热

Sealing push both male and female within the G1 / 4 thread standard interfaces to connect various types of hose, pipe fitting products Water use to install the joint group is not necessary to turn off water or drainage, you can easily use t

I was just looking at my quick disconnects specs and it says its a brass/aluminium alloy. Slightly concerned I've bought the wrong one now (galvanic corrosion). I've not used it yet. I read on reddit someone said Debauer uses Bitspower qdc.

There might be different versions
Of aluminium brass alloy
Ie different % of the metals in the alloy
It's copper,aluminium, zinc and may be very small
Amounts of other metals used

Aluminium brass alloy has excellent corrosion resistance
It's used on boats,marine and saltwater environments
The aluminium is roughly 10% content
And an alloy may present different reactions
Than the individual metals would on their own
Which is one reason to make alloys
 
Took delivery of a Black Mo-Ra iv. Top quality which you'd expect for the price. Haven't built it yet. Just added the stand and the fans to the bracket. The Heatkiller block was delayed, so still a few weeks to get it all setup. I'm actually more excited to test the Mo-Ra than i am my new gpu :D

Built mine last night, ive yet to sort my main rig out, but got the Mo-Ra leak testing, like you, too excited, I couldnt let something like that sit in the box :D

Gear acquisition. Sometimes I am the same with all sorts of things. It becomes about having the ability to do something cool... not always doing it! I also want a Mo-Ra I don't actually need :D.

I have a similar set up. My plan is to add qd's between the pc and Mo-ra, m>f on inlet f>m on outlet. That way i can disconnect the loop and reconnect to make 2 separate loops Mora + pc. I will fill both separately, using the mo-ra main cable. Then disconnect the 2 loops and reconnect back into 1 large. Final bleeding whichever res is highest, although with my setup i suspect the lower res will end up with an air pocket, ready for a finishing top up.

What kind of QD's are you going to use? I have both the barrow qd'c and the Koolance QD3 now. There is a problem with both!

The barrow has a g1/4 female connection on both male and female sides which makes things simple (thread in your compression fitting of choice on both ends) but the Koolance QD3 have one g1/4 female connection on the male side and the female side has a g1/4 male connection. So you must thread the female into something solid (like a block or the mo-ra). The barrow seems to be a lot more restrictive when u do the scientific blow test.

So now I plan to thread the two Koolance female connectors into the mora leaving 3m of hose trailing from my PC. To make a loop for the PC I'd need a g1/4 female to female extender.

I think I'll just buy three g1/4 female to female extenders so I can use a compression fitting on the female end of the Koolance QD3's.

The koolance are less restrictive
Forget where I saw it
But someone did proper testing on a variety
Of quick disconnects
 
The QD3s have various thread options though it depends on the tube OD you use.

Got a right hankering to get a Mora but need to find a decent looking case for it that I can stick a couple of bulkheads on the back easy enough.

I'm using Koolance qd4's. They have a 13/19 (1/2 3/4) compression which matches the rest of the build. QD4-FS13X19-bk and QD4-MS13X19-BK.

I couldn't find any epdm in that size, what are you using? I'm using 12/16 epdm with ek torque 12/16 stc fittings.

I used to put 16/10mm epdm
On koolance three quarter Quick disconnect compression fittings
Quick dunk in a cup of hot water and it
Went on no problem
Used it for years like that no issues

I really struggled but eventually found some epdm. They only had 8m, so im going to have to be careful not to waste any. 13/19 tubing choice has really disappeared. But i just prefer the chunkier look. Compression fittings are 13/19 Bitspower black sparkle.

Build and mod is pretty much finished, this Mo-Ra 200 is very impressive, im just waiting on a barrowtech digital flow meter to add into the loop to arrive, the run ended up going front pump/ res to RAM, then out to the Mo-Ra to cool the water, then back into to CPU, finally back to the pump res at the front of the case, PC has been on all night and came down to these temps now all the micro bubbles have gone.
