Ultimate PC Upgrade Part 5 - We had to ditch glass tubing

2016-07-15
still in pieces as you can see I swear to God this time around this project has been nothing but a pain in the ass no not honestly I don't mind they're being conflicts with this bill because every time I overcome a conflict it arms me for the future to be able to overcome these issues if they arise and be able to handle em a little bit faster than I'm handling them this side the asrock B box and 3,000 B sets a new standard for desktop miniaturization with its super mini sleek form factor it seamlessly fits into any tight space and powered by the Intel n 3000 2.0 8 gigahertz processor USB type-c wireless 801 11 AC Wi-Fi and 4k playback mean the beatbox from as rock may be small but packs a serious punch click the link in the description to find out more so what's holding it back today and why you guys haven't seen much of an update is because of the fact that you guys know we were waiting on the 1080s we got the tan eights a couple weeks ago actually just now getting a chance to start working on this but now we're seeing an incompatible compatibility here with the tubing and I'm going to show you guys that right now so what you see right here is a piece of 13 millimeter glass tubing and yeah it seems pretty an extraordinary if you will nothing special about it this is a piece of 13 millimeter PE TG tubing we'll put that right next to it and what you see right here is a 13 millimeter rigid compression fitting from primo chill so that's the base there's the o-ring that goes in there and then of course here's the compression top now when you put your 13 millimeter PGG in there fits fine actually go do the o-ring but you know I mean if it's fine like that then the compression fits right over that you clamp it down and all is good well when I went to do the glass tubing I can show you here the first thing I noticed is the tubing does not fit in side of the compression right there I thought okay well I guess maybe the maybe the compression is a little bit smaller than the 13 millimeter advertised so it has a tight fit okay so I took my caliper tool and I want to measure what that opening was to make sure that it wasn't the fittings fault that it wasn't fitting get it the fittings fault it wasn't fitting and actually measured twelve point eight seven millimeters so just slightly smaller but that wasn't an issue because as you can see the 13 millimeter ptg fits through there just fine so then I went on to measuring the glass tubing here as you can see it is measuring in at thirteen point one eight and it varies a little bit throughout the the tube where you measure what emerges is that one right there is thirteen point three O at the end at the very end right there it measures thirteen point two nine so it's not perfectly straight and it's much larger than the 13 millimeters as advertised so I was like well you know that's not a big deal I'll just stand down all the compression fitting openings and then we'll be good unfortunately that's not going to work because here's the problem if you look inside the fitting right there it's channeled at that same measurement as the opening of the compression so I would have to bore out all of these the problem is once I start boring that out I want to make sure I don't get any leaks or anything and the other issue was because there's only one Oh ring on these compressions that hold everything together there's no inner o-ring inside here it's just this one that squeezes against this cambered or this chamfered face right here then you get a lot of flex in the lines now this is ptg so of course is a little bit of extra flex but there's a lot of flex so we just want to take the chance so the owner of red misses pretty much said fine ditch the glass just go with PE TG and get it done and I'm like okay fine PGG is easy I can get it out of here quick I've only got to do two bends the only two bends I've actually got to do are this guy right here so it's a 90 90 and then a 90 into the CPU and then this Bend right here is always the hardest every time I've ever done this Bend this is the hardest but anyway then he's going to use these fittings that he's not using on his friends build so yeah anyway we can start to to wrap this up now but yeah that's what's been taking so long so I'm gonna do today is I'm just gonna try and get these two bends taken care of get the blocks put on the GPUs and then this thing will be closer then once I get the lighting installed then I just had to do the wiring and she's done man it took way too long one other thing I want to mention real quick too is because I know someone's going to ask since I have last tubing in the build in the corner back there that's the Nano s build J why don't you just use 12 millimeter tubing in the pits bits power fitting since you know they're going to work one I personally feel that twelve millimeter in a case this big is going to look way too small twelve millimeter looks small in that Nano s so I don't want to imagine how small it's going to look in this case I think it'll the tubing will look undersized to given the size of the case too that means buying all new fittings for the upper end fittings that run about ten to twelve dollars a piece and then he's going to need the elbows for them as they need the compressions that adds up to a couple hundred dollars with the fittings on top of everything he's already purchased plus having to buy new glass so this just really turns into a cost savings now it's like okay do the PT G we know it's shatter resistant I can actually polish it up and been doing some polishing here with the plastics I use it on the cars like headlights and stuff but it works really good on the ptg so it can get out those micro scratches and and just kind of a dullness that ptg has so once you polish it it actually looks really really good once it's done in fact I polished this bottom tube right here as you can see and it's pretty shiny yeah compared to the other tubes up here like you can kind of see just how dull I know things have focused on but this tube right here is kind of dull especially compared to the bottom one which I've already polished up so I think it's gonna look good at the end well there's the first tube done first try no wasted pieces I think that turned out pretty darn good if you ask me now we just gotta do this bad I swear I what is about this Bend but skunkworks had it and all of its revisions the first red mist had something similar and this I always like take five tries get this one I think it's because of how close together the bend radius is now let's see alright so there is the tubing right there this took three tries and I know it looks kind of rounded on camera right there the problem is with how close together those two 90s are so you can see on the better on the bottom there when you heat up one of these bends and then you go to heat up the next bend the heat will make its way to the other bend and start to relax it so it's hard to keep it as a nice tight 90 degree radius or a 90 degree Bend but I think it turned out pretty good actually it could be worse but yeah so there's those two bends right there now I can put the blocks on the cards and get those in there and then this thing is a lot closer to being done and the closer this thing gets to being done the closer I get to start my build one thing I want to point out too is I get this an awful lot in my videos where I show these bins that come from the CPU block and go over top of the RAM from this angle people say how you gonna get the RAM out you can't get the RAM out with the tubes right there it's just a perspective thing as you can get underneath that you can see there's lots and lots of room to get the RAM out I just want to point that out Magna get my whole hand in there there's her that's what she said anyway yeah so I think it's looking pretty darn good if you don't say so myself alright this is where I'm stopping it's late now it's like 11:00 11:00 at night but working on this thing all day so I changed this one up here a little bit as you can see I've now got two 90s right here so it comes up along the side of the reservoir so add more room here for the wires will talk about these wires in a second here so at 90s here and that 90s into the CPU same with this guy right there how do we do the part here with the graphics cards a couple times because I have the spacing wrong I had an NPC ie one in PCIe 3 and that's incorrect I technically would have worked but with the 40 Lane CPU by go PCIe one and PC for that I get X 16x + 16 X which is what we want so I had to redo the link for that I redo this one right here and then I put it back because I ended up putting this back down to where it was originally and yeah that's so pretty much this is exactly how it is for like 3-way only there would be another card right here in the middle so really I could have just left the top in the bottom one where they were I thought I had to change up the layout but I didn't so anyway that's how it looks I won't talk about these wires here real quick believe it or not but there being less wires here on the 1080 because it's only got a single 8 pin and not an 8 pin and a 6 pin it's actually harder to train these wires because there's less bulk or cluster to keep together if that makes sense so these kind of want to go their own way but I'm going to start training the cables to get them to lay how I want I probably will have to use some zip ties to control that the most important part is that the loop is done now one thing I want to point out so many people are always asking me like Jay how do you do your bends and stuff I'm not perfect I'm not I tried something different where it came up the back and I want it to be out of the way the RAM a little more the owner didn't like that as much so I went back this way and then I changed this one here this bend right here took me all those tries yeah so I took these scraps because these aren't these aren't actually throw aways because they're still perfectly good and they're all 90-degree bends as you can see so there might end up being a portion in the future with other builds where I need just a 90-degree Bend and then I could cut them down to length and then use them somewhere so I keep things as well as all of these short scraps as you can see here all of the short pieces because all of this stuff is usable it's not throwaway so I make sure I don't scratch them up and mahram up and whatnot so anyway yep there's that I'm going to this is a standard bridge this is not the high bandwidth bridge but I'm going to be using the high bandwidth bridge or the the standard bridge top instead of the high bandwidth if that makes sense this piece right here if you undo these two screws it will come off and then this one will mount directly to the EVGA high-bandwidth bridge that we're going to be using and I want to paint this the problem with the high bandwidth one is it has like oh there's a little logo thing here like a little carbon fiber looking thing like on the front of their new graphics cards and I won't be able to paint it with that on there so I'm going to paint this white take off the SLI stick or paint this white and then I'm going to put this cover on his high-bandwidth one in fact I don't think I have it out here nope I don't this more of his stuff right there but anyway yeah my shop is a disaster absolutely a disaster but that's one of the reasons why I'm happy to have a shop like this is because now I can just roll down the door and go to bed so that's that this is the second to the last video for the red mist build because the next thing to do now that the loop is done is get all the wiring in and then do our leak testing and then it will be done and off to the owners house and then I can get started on my builds this one took way longer than it ever should have doesn't help that it's summer and it's really freaking hot out here anyway guys thanks for watching hope you guys enjoyed these build blogs remember red mist some people comment like red mist and skunk worse or too much alike remember red mist was first skunk works was worse second actually first was sniffs bloody vampire build but anyway yeah so red mist has some things taken away from some of sniffs build skunk works has some built some ideas taken from red mist and red mist once again is acting as kind of a canvas that I can use to make sure that when I go to do skunk works on more efficient with it so I'm poor generally for him takes longer to get his bill done because I'm figuring out all of these things like the tubing didn't fit and all that which means that when I go to do my build I'll be much more prepared thanks for the being the guinea pig dude anyway guys thanks for watching hope you've enjoyed the vlogs and I'll see you in the next one
