yeah I cannot wait for us to watch ant-man tonight I mean obviously the movies gonna butcher the original storyline but come on he's like the most underrated character in the Marvel Universe hey screw ant-man man let's go to Vegas the venturi fans from fractal design make everything cooler that's right even you check the link in the description for more also guys welcome back to my custom water cold belt log this is build like six I can't do six because I'm holding the camera with my other hand so six whatever where I'm gonna be doing some hard line tubing for the rig in case you didn't already known you have been following the series so far I already put some soft tubing in there didn't love the way it looked so I'm going to be pulling it all out today and replacing it with some hard line tubing that I'm going to be bending myself and oh by the way the entire video is going to be taking place in my car I'm totally joking I'm actually on my way to Paul's house because Paul has some tools I need as well as the ability to kind of guide me throughout this process it is my first time and he's done it once before with his Arctic Panther build it's really cool turned out really great with his hardline tubing you can go check it out on Paul's hardware his personal channel but he did get the help of Jays $0.02 Jay is a custom water cooling maestro and he definitely taught Paul a lot about hard line tubing so hopefully Paul can hand some of those lessons down to me so that's what I'm hoping for so I've got all my gear with me today got my backpack with the the fittings inside of it as well as my laptop in case I need it I've got the PT G tubing right there sorry it's really hard to film with one hand while driving at the same time my rig back there I did not buckle it up I'm a terrible PC parent and I've got some more tools back there I'm totally looking for it I have no idea what you're seeing right now probably like a can or something back there but yeah I've got a bunch of stuff back here I'm bringing it all the Paul's and we're hopefully going to be able to knock all this out in a single shot so say your prayer for me cross your fingers and let's all hope goes well alright guys so here's the rig of the hour as you can tell I'm at Paul's humble abode I think he's outside doing some stuff but here it is as you can see I took out all the tubing and the liquid drain the whole system I also put in these new primo chill fittings which are compatible with ptg tubing and hey look it's it's a Paul in the flesh I'm filming okay say say hi to all the people hi all the people that that's Paul it's hot outside it is very hot outside but it's nice and cool in here which is good for computers so I guess at this point we're just going to use this heat gun some PT G tubing and we're gonna start bending this and hopefully we don't mess up right I hope that never happens don't film me I don't know what I'm doing we're joining you ladies and gentlemen you're joining us here this is Kyle's third third Bend you know maybe four spins report is actually attempting his skill has been slowly improving and doing a great job actually from the get-go it's working to avoid bubbles though so check here if you guys won't try this at home is I hold the tube over the heat you got to put the black tube inside that tube though first the silicone tube then twist it slowly as Kyle's demonstrating right now and you have a chip that's not part of them because it sir she has soft in the middle part you're going to be able to bend a little bit maybe I really want to bend in tail to get soft enough to bend are you ever gonna bend this to Cali okay now here we go trying to bend it really tight I'm trying to make a perfect 90-degree angle and I don't want a very wide Bend because I'm gonna have to bend it again like right here without making it look like an S but more like how to focus sucks you suck I know how to focus on things but not when it's burning me alright now here's the tricky part got to cool it dump it in the water but you got to make sure to keep the shape when you're dipping it otherwise it'll freeze in that wrong position so 90 degrees looks good boom and hope for the best take it out and just like that it is pretty much solid now let's solid again it's beautiful and a little bit less than 90 degrees but I think it's workable to bring everybody up to speed Kyle Kyle's got a little crazy here's his progress got this got this been done let this been done everything's looking pretty good Kyle did all this I actually all I did all I did was this one I did that one right there taking full credit for that one hour but Kyle in the meantime has decided to just go all out with this last Benz he's going like from here all the way here and down and over and up and then so um I have no idea if that's gonna work or full hold up under the force of gravity but he's just going for it right now he's doing the bend actually back to the CPU and then he's going to do another bend in the middle right here to go up I don't know I think it's already it's already looking doubtful to me now let's stay positive Kyle I did a good job you're doing a great job I have to sit and wait for to see the results of this but you guys get the same right now this is the last tube being fit to the Ghia the system here I'm just gonna screw it down and and then we're good Stoops crazy turns a tooth whacking ah then just gotta kind of shape this I mean it's a little droopy this is say look like shaggy I mean the top like across the top this looks fairly straight right yeah I mean if I could just maybe like find something to barely prop it up like a millimeter or two I think it looked pretty straight all around yeah what's up guys okay so I am back home now and I brought my rig with me of course and here's a closer look at it because you probably haven't had one before but there it is I think it looks pretty great honestly this is so much nicer looking to me than the soft tubing that was once in here I'm really I made the switch and special thanks to Paul for helping me out I honestly couldn't have done it without him I mean I probably could have but it probably turned out a lot crappier than this but a couple things not everything went perfectly I'm really happy that this actually worked this whole big loop around and how it's kind of going underneath this this tube going to the CPU I'm really glad that worked out however there's a little bit of a bowing out on this edge right here it kind of bubbled up I held it a little bit too close to the heat gun for just a second and because of that it kind of got a little distorted so I'm actually going to be doing that one over again honestly believe it or not I got this one on the first try this little one right here took me three or four tries believe it or not because um the bends are so close together this Bend and that Bend I really wanted it to be and I'm probably going to do this one over to actually I know that I'm a bit more familiar with how it all works I really wanted to go straighter across and then straight back but as you can see it's kind of like at a 45 degree angle which I'm not a huge fan of honestly it doesn't look terrible and I could leave it there but I still have a bunch of tubing left over so I might as well give it a shot the other thing that I'm not so I'm not a huge fan of with this long one is that I should have bent it down a little bit more to the right hello Kyle I should have bent it down a little bit more a little sooner I should say because with the side panel window on it's a big side panel window right there but it still kind of covers up this portion of the tubing when you're looking at it dead center you have to kind of move to the right in order to see that beautiful tubing right there so I'm actually going to bend it a little sooner right here try to not f up on this part do this one over probably and also I'm gonna have to redo this one actually I'm redoing everything except for this little guy here there's a few scratches on it but it's it's so small and it's tucked away so you can't really see it and this one's perfectly fine but the other reason I'm doing this one over is because I'm waiting on a Y fitting a little splitter fitting so that I don't have to actually have my drain valve crossing over the outlet right here I can just use one splitter fitting for both of them and so I'm going to do a hard line I'm probably going to go straight out straight back and think I think I'm gonna go straight up and then straight I'm just gonna do it all hard because I don't like the angle right here just kind of clashes with the rest of the straight tubing which reminds me and this is all building off of stuff that I learned today if you are going to be doing right angles in your hard line tubing build which if you're doing hard line tubing you probably are get like a box or something that has a right angle inside of it so you can actually as your right right after you bend the tubing and you're trying to get that perfect right angle press it up against one of the corners of the box for example so you know you have a perfectly straight right angle because it's really difficult to try to get it perfectly unless you're you know a master at this like Jay or something but that would have really helped me also it's kind of hard to gauge where to bend the tubing I mean you you hold the the piece of rigid tubing up and you kind of eyeball it and you put your thumb okay I want to bend it right here and then you bring it over with your thumb to the heat gun and then you just kind of go to town but the whole time you're kind of guesstimating where exactly you put your thumb and sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't it's really hit or miss so honestly what I'm gonna try next time when I reduce some of this tubing is I'm gonna mark exactly where I want to bend it with a sharpie and then wipe it off with acetone after it's finished and I think that's gonna result in some really clean really clean looking tubes in the end also you want to be aware of fittings and part of the reason why this little guy appears scratched is because I think the fitting right here was kind of like rubbing up against the edges of the fitting we're rubbing up against the edges of the tubing and it just cuts into it really easily the just the slightest you know jolt back and forth it can can result in some pretty nasty scratches so just be really careful and gentle with your tube with your tubing as well as the fittings when you're kind of sliding them up and down and getting ready to screw them in and I think that's pretty much it guys so let me know what you think of this build what you think of the hard line tubing think of my work again this is my first time so I know it could be a lot better and it probably will be a lot better after I give it a second go but again special thanks to Paul for helping me out honestly a big help huge help and thank you guys for watching this video be sure to subscribe for more tech videos coming really soon and by the way I'm getting married next week so if I'm not as active on social media or maybe you only see one video from me next week that's probably why and please forgive the shortage of content in the next week or two plus my honeymoon my mini honeymoon is is the weekend of the week after my wedding so there'll be a bit of a slowdown but things should pick up regularly after that so thanks guys toss me a like on the video if you enjoyed it and I'll see you all in the next one
