Mini update the top of the mobo loop is now connected to the rad.
Just been messing around with the GPU loop nothing final. Sorry still using iphone for the picture

Thoughts?

I ordered acrylic tubing that I have to cut to length so it's no
Problem!

regarding the other matter I sent you an email

fantasticCG · 12 Jul 2013 at 21:01

Cut,sanded and fits perfectly

A rough test fit not 100% level yet might use a 90 degree fitting out of the res

Only another million to do

considering your using those clear links, perhaps it would have been cool to polish the EK blocks to be clear - ive seen a video of it - looks awesome

the build looks epic anyway, just thought that would add a personalised touch

Thanks dude, yer I've seen that video have been tempted

Looks like it'd almost go straight across with no angled adaptors, would it not?

Yeah it would maybe but the res is just a touch higher, I'll cut another piece and fit it, and post.
This is still a rough first fit

Nope it's still sitting there as I'm in the middle of moving.
No idea when it will be finished

Priorities man - Finish the build then you can move

So depressing I can't work on it.

I'm moving to London. 9th of November work will start up again.
I'm having a rethink of where to put the res's

I have to say this is starting to look absolutely brilliant. I've always liked builds using acrylic tubing rather than hose, as it gives a much more professional finish.
One question I have, is the EK reservoir on a slight angle as it looks it from the photo's, I'm guessing that's because it's not permanetly fixed in place yet as your still measuring up for tubing etc.
Keep up the excellent work buddy, I can't wait to see it all finished

Thanks dude. Yer it's not permanently fixed on yet. 2 res's are going there.
Even when I've had them in place there's still a slight angle.
Having a think on another way to fit them

you can buy your own acrylic tubing to size I wasted money on them crystal links, you get less, length can be wrong and it costs more, I also felt more assured my custom acrylic was the right fit.

Yer it's just to get a smoother fit and get rid of any sharp edges that could damage the O rings. It's been so fiddly sanding the ends.
I ordered more than enough from e22, plus I'm not spending another penny too much already

Is that a 15mm extender on the southbridge block so that its even with the cpu block,also did you need any from the vrm to cpu ?

Yer it is a 15mm bit. Quite a bit of trial and error to get them level.
The CPU, mobo and mem is loop one. I'm not with my PC right now. I can update you later on.

I didn't bother sanding I made sure there was no flakey bits, but that's about it those o rings do a good job I got the PC working now and they never leaked in my tests

I had to sand because the tight is to tight. There's some long pieces going in

I've finally started working on this project again

Trying different fittings and testing fitting things to see if it works.

Tube bending will be required, it's driving me bonkers!

Aiming for a Xmas finish!

fantasticCG · 1 Dec 2013 at 16:57

It's the ek XT 480 rad

fantasticCG · 1 Dec 2013 at 17:03

Hmm first attempt at bending didn't go great.
The S shape is what I'm going for.
Ended up getting kinks in the tubing, I'm thinking maybe I didn't get it
Hot enough

fantasticCG · 1 Dec 2013 at 18:32

I used a heat gun, started out as a straight piece of acrylic.
Need to practice more with it more pictures soon

fantasticCG · 4 Dec 2013 at 19:46

A question do I need to change the CPU plumping?
As the ek block inlet is on the left and outlet is on the right.
Do I need to flip the block or correct me if I'm wrong it's dependent on which way the fluid is coming in?

Had a go at more bending, getting there.
Not happy still not sure if I took the silicon tube to early but it progress.

Must try harder!
