what's up all you PC nerds J here with James two cents bringing you not really a new part for red mist but in fact I decided you guys commented that you never get to see anything happening with the build so I figured I'd go ahead and take the opportunity of having to install the replacement pump if you recall we had a bad pump in the previous part that was part 5 kind of lost track this build seems to be just never-ending I figured we'd go ahead and show you guys the sexy rear end of red mist here we'll take a look inside the bonnet under the hood so I don't know exactly how this video is going to turn out it's not easy to record something while I'm doing something like this so hopefully it doesn't entirely suck and maybe you got to learn something today now if you guys watch the most recent Tech Talk you'd know I kind of did a little text segment I'm going to try and do in every single video now where I show you guys something actually happening hands on to try and explain a concept that I get a lot of questions about so you guys wanted to know when I mentioned the pump was bad you guys kind of want to know how pumpkin go bad and unfortunately the pump that went bad in this build just happened to arrive bad it wasn't anything I did it wasn't anything that happened with the build in fact from the moment it was turned on it was out of balance and that was the problem now I've mentioned before and water cooling videos that the worst thing that you could possibly do to this pump right here is run it dry in fact any water cooling pump it doesn't matter running it dry is the quickest way to kill it you could kill it in a matter of seconds depending on the RPM the pump actually turns at so this is actually a perfect opportunity to not just tell you why you can actually ruin your pump running it dry but I can show you so here's a d5 pump we have the top on it already it doesn't do us a whole lot of good because it's not a very good visual aid consider you can't see inside it however I do have the bad pump right here and I can kind of show you guys what I mean by what happens when you run a pump dry now this is actually what a d5 pump looks it is nothing more than an electric motor and an impeller on here that spins around pulls water in the middle spits it out the outside it goes out whatever the least path of resistance is which will be the outlet and water moves along its merry way now unfortunately these impellers as you can see are just floating on there as you can see this thing is kind of moving around on there because what keeps the actual pump bearing from grinding on itself is that there's a layer of fluid that fills inside that gap when there's no fluid in there that bearing is rubbing around the outside and if you guys watched on Tech Talk you know when I took the new pump and just barely turned it like that you heard some squeaking of metal because that pump is completely dry this one still has a little bit of residue left in there so it doesn't make that sound so anyway that fluid fills in the gap around the bearing and keeps it nice and protected from rubbing it shaft tech tip guys never miss a perfect opportunity to appropriately use the word shaft at a technology video while simultaneously making thousands everywhere giggle so yeah bad pump that thing is out and I actually got an opportunity to show you guys what happens when you run your pump dry which is very very bad okay so we're going to do now is we're just gonna kind of install this pump in the bottom right here get it plumbed up and then gonna be it for just kind of a little bit of a build blog a techie blog a bung long the Fong the thong the Dom I guess it's now time to move it a little bit closer so you can actually see what it is I'm doing because showing you something that makes sense if you could actually see it at least so I've heard now this installation is going to actually be really straightforward and pretty simple you can see we've got the red loop here which is our graphics card loop it's all put together plumbed up bled and it's good to go that's one of the reasons why I like having dual loops when I can is when I have to take something apart like I had to do here as you can see it allows me to be able to only deal with the parts that are affected rather than having to drain and bleed everything it's going to be a whole lot easier to fill and rebleed just one of these Lou and it would be to do both with the graphics card and everything in there now we've kind of got everything ready to go here you can see I've got some holes drilled on the bottom for the pump mounting and this is just the drain port right here which will go on top very similar to this pump and then we've got the existing tube which is going to actually attach right up in there and that top fitting right there so anyway we'll just go ahead and get this bad boy threaded on here and pretty much because we're dealing with dealing with palm material which is a plastic you want to go too tight hand tight is all you need and there it is so we can go ahead now and also get this top piece on since it'll be a lot easier to spin this well actually we can do that with it already in there that's not a problem so you get your collar on there for locking it down you don't want to forget that that'll make you have a bad day I'm gonna go ahead and get it on the fitting right here just actually these are very tight fitting fittings fit fittings have a funny any word and same thing with the compression fittings you pretty much just want to tighten them down as tight as you can get them by hand there's no real need to tighten these up you know with a wrench or anything they're gonna get plenty tight of their own they're not going anywhere there we go now I have the I don't know if you could really tell you can see down here here's under the desk I have the PC pretty much spanning across the corner of the desk that way I can get up under here because if it was flat on the desk I would be able to screw it in the bottom so it's actually coming across the corner of both of my desk right there so I basically I'm just gonna hand tighten the screws here until I get everything kind of in place and then we'll just go ahead and crank it down imagine can see this is actually a very fast install so yeah simple enough we got it hand tightened now we're just going to tighten down the screws and the pump is actually believed or not guys almost completely installed it's really easy to install a pump as long as you kind of know where everything's going to go and you creep plan I think I mentioned that about 50 times throughout this build log is proper planning is by far the most important component you can do in a build log or just any build period proper planning there's no replacement for it all right so there's our pump nice and installed it's not going anywhere the top piece here and we just screw that sucker in now some people have kind of said that they felt that this was an ugly way of doing the bleed port but you know guys it worked flawlessly when I needed to bleed this system once I realized that the pump was bad so I had no complaints whatsoever about how this turned out in fact you don't even see it so it doesn't really matter if you asked me how it looks it's all about function over form in this area down here because you don't even see it in fact I've got one of the tubes you can't even see going along the top of the radiator to make even more room therefore the red loop so this tube right here pretty much just runs up along to the upper red and this is the this is the outlet so it goes into the upper red first and then it goes into the rest of the loop from there simple enough so there you go guys just that easy with a very awkward very up-close and personal look of my nose you can see we now have both pumps installed took a matter of minutes with like I said proper planning so the next thing to do now is going to be to fill it up and bleed it and I guess we since we're done installing this now we might as well just go ahead and do that together now that we have the pump installed the next thing we need to do is obviously fill it up bleed it drain it or will not drain it obviously we'd be back to square one we need to fill it up and we need to bleed it and get it all nice and primed I hope you guys heard that but a cat just meowed all youtubers owned cats and if you know that that's the secret to success on YouTube guys we must own a cat so for this build we're going to be using you guys already seen it but I'm going to show you again it is the mayhem pastel white for this loop is a concentrate we actually use three bottles of this to get plenty of it but there are some other white cooling options you guys asked about so in the future we are going to be taking a look at the dragon ice fluid here from Dragon and that's going to be in a separate video now there's actually a couple different ways you could fill a loop and this one here I chose not to do any actual fill ports and tubes coming off the top of the reservoir because I don't really feel that it's necessarily the cleanest look for this build I have done it in the past but all we're going to do basically on this loop is we're just going to turn the top get the top off right here and then we are going to just take a funnel and a piece of extra tube kind of stick it in there like that make sure that it doesn't come out of the top I've done that before makes a mess that actually really sucks then we're going to fill it up as far as we can turn on the pump let it come down stop the pump and keep repeating that process until we get all of the system filled now because we are using krill clear acrylic tubing or rigid tubing it's going to be easy to tell when we've got all the major air pockets out because we can see through the tubing but if you are using a solid piece of tube like you have here or like I have in my build over there with the black tubing you can't see it too well but in this case it's going to be nice and easy no pun intended literally in this case it will be really easy so come on in let's fill this loop and let's get a nice and bled now I've got the first bit of reservoir nice and filled up with the nice white coolant now one thing I forgot to mention of how I'm going to be turning the pump on and on it's important that you don't actually start your system with it missing a second power supply with a power supply jumper on there and a power supply that has a switch on the back so I can turn it on and off just to power the pump so I want to make that part clear don't start up your system and run it with empty fluid like this because you're going to end up having some overheating problems and if there happens to be a leak you don't want your system powered on so while I'm filling it right now and I'm going to kind of speed up the video here to make this a little bit easier and more bearable to watch you guys are going to notice that the fluids going to go up its going to go down so go up is going to go down and during that whole process I've got tissue paper on the underside kind of looking for leaks I already know the front here doesn't leak I'm just checking for leaks in the parts that I replaced and the part of making this video so while making this video make sure no those fittings and no those tubes are creating any sort of leaks down in the bottom so without further ado let's go ahead and get this thing full of white blood cells well there you go guys red mist is back up and running a little bit of a delay but I have to say overall the RMA process through frozen CPU was as easy as could be I mean they they watch the video that I made they said okay here's the problem they sent us out the part right away and it took this long to get the video up because it really took me that long to get back to it I've just got so much stuff going on but as you can see it is up and running behind me pumps work perfectly it is perfectly bled and couldn't ask for an easier swap and overall like I said customer service is what matters with me and companies I couldn't be happier with the way things went with frozen CPU now I know some of you are probably looking back there right now and going wow that is way too bright I don't like that keep in mind guys the camera does not pick up the lighting the same as it does in real life I mean in order to make me not look like a shadow the lights on the PC are being blown out by the camera so I'll do a little bit of glamor footage here hopefully you guys can get a better representation of what the build looks like but red mist is coming along nicely now one thing I want to go ahead and mention is that some of you were very unhappy with the cable choice with this PC by just going with the plain black sleeved extensions so I want to go ahead and just let you know right now that the awesome people over at Lu TRO customs have reached out to us and offered us perfectly sleeved cables with an ROG theme that are going to match this build perfectly so gonna be red white and black cables very similar to what's in my 900 D for my build so now we can say this build is perfectly top of the line with the best of the best and I couldn't ask for a better project so far to be working on I'm really excited about this project but I just can't wait for it to be done it takes up so much room and I'm just tired of looking at it guys I'll be honest with you I love red mist but I want it to go to its rightful home which is where it belongs with the guy who bought the computer yeah guys this is not my computer some of you guys seem to think that I've just made up this mythical magical buyer who doesn't exist just to mask the fact that I got this big bad boy for myself but guys the reality of it is as you already know that is my bad boy right there check it out yeah so that thing is waiting to get worked on for me project skunk works so I think we're going to call it haven't really decided yet so it's been Jays two cents part five and a quarter we'll call it because we had to do a little bit of repair on this thing as you can see it's up and running beautiful computer couldn't ask for more hopefully soon we'll get this thing finally fired up and get some benchmarks because I know we're all dying to see what the numbers are including myself i'ma get on outta here guys follow me on Twitter I'd love to interact with you guys up there it's easiest way to get a hold of me with your tech questions and as always I will see you in my next video
