today's video is brought to you by Kevin wad and the cable wad configurator if you want custom cables for your computer and you want them custom-made with your colors and your choices and your configs you can do that on the cable mod configurator that support all major brands of PS use both modular and semi modular and you can have cable extensions made but the best part is previously they offered aluminum cable combs and only black and white but now you can get them in various color so if you want to take your system to the next step and really make it pop get some custom cables and make them your way with the cable mod configurator you can start playing around at that by using the link in the description below alright here comes our first video in our new shop that we will need to do some rearranging and so now I'm gonna do this that's okay that's okay I'm get to work on a computer in this space for the first time it happens to be my personal rig skunk works no we're not updating it yet now we're not changing out any of the parts technically and no I'm not copying latest with this personal rig update I recently did my update on this when I went to 28 et eyes and a 79 60 X which I deleted and remember GeForce garage actually featured this on their channel but here's the problem if we get it here nice and tight something's sort of happening here and I don't know if it's fluid or it's my tube so get in here fill I want people to see this up close as you can see the bends right here they almost look like cracks right and this is PE TG fluid you can see it here but it's got kind of a white substance to it what's happening right here but it's not happening in this tube this tube this tube it's not happening in the reservoirs there's a little bit of what looks like it could be a potential build-up happening inside the blocks we'll get a insert shot of that so you guys can see but this is the pre mode chill true fluid technically it's the view fluid without all the pearlescent crap and I've heard mixed reviews on this and I wanted to try it out I don't think we're clogging or anything like that but what I do know is that when I redid the GPU loop with an GeForce garage and I put in the 2080 TI I had to do new tubing runs for here and here although no this tumor has stayed the same I think but because of board spacing that's also why this little doohickey is like this this little keep tube because it didn't line up because the EK blocks moved over where the terminals were they use to be farther back but that's because of this bridge it design so everyone do today we're gonna drain the loop and I clean out some of the dust it's kind of dusty and we're gonna just the CPU loop anyway and we're gonna take a look at these tubes and I'm probably if this turns out to be the tube and it's not any sort of like something building up in there then we'll probably rebend all of the CPU loop tubes so yeah let's go ahead and get this guy sort of wiped down cleaned up and ready to drain so here's my theory on this I feel like there's no such thing as an opaque fluid on the market that is going to be problem free if you guys remember the video and maybe I'll have failed you a little just kind of a little overlay here at that last video where we got it ready for the reception of the twenty atti cards we drained the system it was there was staining we had to get all the old fluid out and we mixed new fluid for it it's interesting because both of these reservoirs you can see there's still a little bit of what looks like something against this wall but there was something else going on with this reservoir but that's that's a different topic both these fluids came from the same batch meaning they were mixed into one giant one gallon jug that then both were filled off of this one did not have settling as you can see right here in the bottom of this tube but this reservoir has some settled on the side of it and as you can see all the vertical surfaces of the tube sat that way so also to this system has set off for most of its updated life because I haven't just haven't had time life it life and work and been in the way and I don't have time to do gaming and stuff so I haven't heat cycle did I haven't really done anything with this system but I find it odd that one loop is doing it and not the other the other thing too is when it does run the GPU loop definitely gets warmer than the CPU loop so I don't know if temperature has something to do with keeping it kind of ready to go so here's what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna take out these tubes I'm gonna take out this reservoir and I'm gonna clean it and then I'm gonna bend new tubes and put them in and it's just so strange I mean this is the kind of stuff we saw with the view not with the treu this is like I said earlier this true view would view it this true fluid is the primo chill view without the crazy sparkly stuff so that's just interesting the other thing you have to think about is there has to be some solid properties to the fluid otherwise you'd be able to see through it right so what I ultimately want to do is I think I want to go back to a clear see-through fluid and I don't think that's gonna happen today and that kind of sucks which means I'm gonna have to just band-aid this by replacing the tubes that are affected and cleaning out the reservoir just to get me by so if I were let's say a system integrator and I'm building this custom or I'm working on someone's system and they're like what do you recommend I do I would of course be like why I recommend you replace the fluid and disassemble the blocks and toothbrush them clean and all that sort of stuff we just don't have time to do that today so that's why today I am doing the do as I say not as I do method of replacing my tubes that are affected here my block looks all right there's a little bit Phil can even get in there so you can see there's a little bit of buildup in the fins right there but I noticed that even when the when the build was new and I drained it for the first time when I wanted to change something so I'm gonna show right now as I'm actually gonna blow in the loop the opposite direction so that those come up and you'll see that they actually come loose where actual deposits like buildup and sludge doesn't come loose Wow well so by putting a fitting on here with a tube and then putting that into the tank like I should over my mic catch can technically and then blowing on it real hard a bunch of times you can see like the little bubbly foam stuff just comes right out so I don't I don't believe that to be build up at all because true build-up and sludge does not come off like that it sticks I think it's nasty so one of one of the reasons why I don't think it actually gummed up in the system technically like it cause any sort of temperature or flow problems because I saw no issues with temperatures our flow is you can see Lia it's really soft so as you can see it's just sort of like a really fine powder and then when I you can see it kind of building up on my fingers here if I wanted to give you a best explanation of what the consistency of it feels like it's if you sanded something with like 2,000 grit sandpaper and the dust you would sort of get off that that's about the thickness and the mind Micron's size of this if I had to make a guess just based on the way it feels but like I said when I've had like when I had the Mayhem's fluid like the yellow stuff failing me and it just turned completely nasty this would not have happened I would not have been able to just take a paper towel sort of force it into the tube like this just spinning around a little bit and then see it like start to come off that would not happen with before so it looks like what I was seeing through the UV filter which was looking like cracks and stuff was probably you know it's just the build-up so I'm reminded of something I saw on the forums years ago I don't know what the plastic is made out of in this push down tube one of these melted in the guy's too into the guy's reservoir completely just just melted and deformed and everything and caused a massive mess in his system because pieces of it mixed in with the fluid and then redeposit it all throughout the system and I don't know what the outcome was of that I know there was a lot of ek blaming fluids and people blaming ek and people blaming radiators it and then the blaming game starts right now this is just speculation I have no data to go off of but I just thinking about that article and I'm going I wonder if there's some sort of reaction happening with this okay so I'm going to use these as templates to rebend and look at that what was I just saying about ptg softening and changing shape I've seen people see bubbles complete meltdowns well look at that that squished it didn't it didn't bubble out it squished in which it's kind of funny because that's where it's under clamping force for the compression fitting so I'm wondering if it softened somehow and if this tubing is having a reaction to this fluid but I don't know if it's this fluid specifically because this these particular tubes have been in the system for like the last three revisions of this build seen tons of different types of fluid I know that Lea Harrington watching this right now if he's watching is I told you I told you because I had the conversation with him like online once just kind of responding one of his posts I'm like I never had that problem happened he's like you do you will you just wait you will I'm like that one's for you Lea I don't have any acrylic tubing so that's stuff to your PTD so here are the new tubes versus the old tubes you can see just how bad they are compared to the nice nuclear tubing obviously this one doesn't have the bulge on it so here's what I'm gonna be gaining out of this at least I have a clean reservoir and I'm not gonna have to see the discoloration in the tubing which is was really being like it looks so obvious with the black lighting in here because I'm using cable mod UV lighting and just a little bit of white lights kind of mixed in with it and of course the RGB lighting set to white on all my components so now we're going to put it back together and fill it and then that's gonna be it I mean we'll talk a little bit more at the end about my recommendations about anyone else that could be experiencing this and again any discussion about what's causing this would be pure speculation I have no data to go off of so we want to kind of keep that to a minimum but let's go ahead an put it back together now it's no it's honestly pretty painless I mean that's the first time we got to sort of use our new shop to do anything and I'm glad it was involving my personal build so anyway in terms of just speculation of what's causing it we were kind of thinking about this off-camera and the best way to describe the Powder us trying to show you was it was definitely fluid but it had it reminded me of soft tubing and plasticizer plasticizer is used in soft you mean to keep it soft it keeps it malleable and it's one of those things that's what it reminded me of the film on the inside and just the way it felt the way that that that push down tube kind of was feeling made me think a plasticizer and I'm wondering if somehow because that piece of tubing is what was roughest and and just had it felt all pitted and stuff and as you saw it was smooth once I cleaned it it took a lot longer than all the other parts I'm wondering if that was somehow leeching plasticizer or if it even exists on that tube I have no idea what it's made out of it doesn't feel the same as acrylic like acrylic tubing it feels lighter almost like it's a piece of plastic rather than it being acrylic or ptg or anything like that so it makes me wonder if that could have been what was causing the issue in that particular loop because what still throws us for a loop huh is the fact that the GPU loop is not doing it there's a little bit of sediment inside the blocks but that's expected when you use any sort of an opaque fluid like this but they're the same components the same block materials the same coatings the same manufacturers even of all the parts and I I can't really put my finger on what's causing it so we're just gonna now play with this system as it sits I don't the deal with those ugly pieces showing up in there anymore those those corners that looked all weird in those bends and the loops look like two different colors because the CPU loop was just filled which means it's aerated so it's still got a mixture of like millions of little tiny bubbles in there which is why it looks lighter so anyway I'm happy I got to use my shop for my system we've got some stuff we're gonna build we finally brought we didn't bring the Dominus Board with us but we did bring the CPU we forgot the Dominus board because we got CPU block and cooling stuff for that so you know what that means it means rip GN might happen again hey that rhymes well I really am jay-z what do you know alright quit YouTube I'm gonna go be a rapper remembering mmm-mmm-mmm Jagan mumble I know what's gonna happen right now when I turn it on like this it's something Zuzu go flying out of there well ok it turns I said I like that I have more than one workbench
