so this is a funny story I'm having a deja vu moment are you yeah a little bit so guys welcome to the hardline build log that was doomed for failure from the very start between you event a little bit too far bent a little too far it got misshapen and you know when that happens at the wrong moment trust me awkwardness and pain can ensue so let's go ahead and do a quick introduction to the project I'll show you guys the tools we'll be using to do your very own hard line system so basically we're running an Intel Core i7 59 60 X octa-core CPU we've got that running on an X 99 deluxe motherboard from a seuss graphics cards we got two 980 s which are both hard piped into the system as well and water-cooled with a couple of blocks from ek water blocks they actually provided all of the water cooling we're powering this sucker with an ax 1500 I power supply because overkill we know it's overkill we could have used something half that capacity that would have been just fine I'm speaking of half that capacity would have been just fine we've got 32 gigs of DDR 4 memory in there that's Dominator Platinum's what else have we completely overdone massive reservoir but I actually like the fact that we have a massive reservoir because topping this thing off is gonna suck and oh right of course all the hard line tubing tools so it starts with the hard line tubing and hard line tubing is important because compared to flexible tubing you want one of these or you want one of those that's awful really good but yeah one of these uh ptg yes so that's important because PE TG is more is less fragile so it's less prone to breakage and cracking it allows for more reattempt at bends and is just generally much easier to work with it's less likely to lose its shape when you're bending it with this fuel line stuff that we'll be using what else we got here Oh compression fittings these are special hard line compression fittings that we'll be using throughout the build they're from primo chill they actually sent us a couple different styles we like the knurled black ones clubs are actually surprisingly important because while you're bending the the tubing the PPG tubing is probably going to be really hot so you're going to want some kind of gloves you don't need to be too crazy and we got this baby to do the bender yep do the bender so this is the this is the bend of the rigid bender from primo chill the last thing is I guess we've got a saw and an a heat gun also really important how did I forget the heat gun because you also have to heat up the PDG that's why you need the gloves so you can bend it around the bender and maybe ties it with so guys this is going to be an absolute blast I is gonna kind of start in the middle yeah it was a blast cuz we're done and we've lost some footage so we're redoing our intro enjoy fractal design listens and the define are five case was made with feedback from you the PC community so click wherever you want to learn more how about here and here and then it's like step to continued remove the rest of them like okay why don't I just remove them all sleeping the screws part one a yeah sounds like a - media group video cause any encoded bits of information in brass for metal you think ek includes enough thermal pads to basically do this twice so you achieved a hole in a piece of metal in the last you know 20 minutes here's what I did about 20 moves I did I done better cool you're not though dick never got the whole angelina jolie thing I don't know if I've ever said that on camera before I'm sure it will oh yeah incite riots yeah talented yes attractive no all right and then it's like I had kind of a panic moment because ek sent two of the CPU blocks two different kinds and I kind of went oh they sent to GPU blocks wow I really hope when I asked for two GPU blocks they knew that I meant I wanted matching ones and they were going in the same system they're okay though they're the same so we're getting close to starting okay there is something that we do still have to do though we have to get this radiator mounted so that means we have to decide like how that's how that's working exactly so the pump wait till the pump is going to take from here oh yeah we got to drill the holes to mount the reservoir as well okay so we're not we're not that closer to starting and the problem is that that radiator actually has a variety of different holes it can mount to none of which it can access because you see how this radiator is actually a touch wider than a 120mm fan most rads are flush with the fan so I actually can't quite get over far enough this way and quite can't quite get over far enough that way to hit these mounting holes how about right there you're supposed to see like the alignment and stuff you're that like is it super awful or is it like it's not directly mine yeah I don't know if we're gonna get that without just doing new holes and like having some places where the where the grill is just there you can screw it in because it's not like it's gonna feed directly from that we might have some but it would be there wouldn't be any kind of organized system to them okay so all those spots I marked basically the holes that are there need to be widened okay so I got a ghetto drill or find a bit that's good for it if I'm ghetto drilling no on a bit that's good for it I think forget it really then don't film it okay you remember how our genius plan was to fill it from the top there's a radiator so no good yeah unless the this is oh no that wasn't the hole we were planning to go through that's I think that's too small I think it was oh that's not what I was crying did you it's okay it definitely wasn't over here we can come in here though and just go I'm just getting discarnate sure yeah I think I think it'll be fine um but I believe I believe I could fly wow this is never been open I believe I can touch the sky about it ever done yeah I think this is gonna work but this will come out at a bit of an angle but it might be okay because it's gonna come out at this angle and then go up to the CPU so I think we should be golden as long as there are no clearance issues with the graphics cards where are they oh but then we were doing our test fit with um freaking the air coolers on there's a drill bit here my OCD is uh really angry I legitimately went and bought a whole new set of that after whole room water cooling because people lost a couple of the pieces from it so that is now officially the lmg set with it's missing pieces that will make me crazy if I have to look at them normally hold it for me sure can Brandon watch like I guess that so he's into that okay we should do this outside though I think cuz you gotta take it out to do those um the devil thing anyway yeah it's like a disaster down there well I was given a cutting it I know that why - media group push forward with no regard for the consequences these are just grabbing the edge if I was gonna do this somewhat properly I definitely put washers on them because it's been a little beat really dusty my board well what happens when it sits on the test bench I guess so interference issues gone alright alright I'm feeling good yeah I learned the power supply go I'm gonna put in the power supply I was thinking maybe I would but if it oh yeah push push push yeah okay good our final our decision you want to do black and white or clear there would work pretty well and the res is going to be clear we can't color it so the res is gonna look kind of out of place these don't look the same okay now I'm a little worried is one of these like UV blue or something you know what let's go for let's go for the home run swing because the black and white thing is gonna either look really cool or super dumb yeah let's go for the home run swing ah hold still you bastard whoa put that up against there and oh I don't 90 degrees it show okay that's not quite so then you just hold it until it hardens our very first bed well here I'll I'll chat with you so we are deeply worried about having enough tubing because primo chill bless their hearts sent us one stick of each color maybe they intended to send it to us just as a sample so we could then tell them what color we wanted to do this project and they could send us a whack of it because we have zero room for error if we have enough tubing at all and we're not sure which of those is the answer right now so we're thinking we're thinking a white run here which is going to be like half or more of the rest of our white oops okay so like kind of there too there then we're thinking ah this is going to have to go to here and that'll have to be black this one will be white which will use up pretty much the rest of our white not a whole lot of room for error and then this one will be black down to here and then this one over here will be black as well and I think we're gonna just make it let's put that in you clean off the marks with isopropyl first if you don't mind that's alcohol it was not taking it off hmmm that came off these came off it's the heat oh crap and now I don't have my damn marks oh oh my goodness I just went the wrong way on it holy crap that was close okay can you just hey Wow I am like No I didn't put the thing in see how the my pressure from the bend is really makes it really flat here yeah I figured out how to do it more like that oh so what you got to do is you got to heat up the rest of it so that's the least soft part so then when you press it against it burns more holes that make sense yeah and it doesn't dent into it so much oh no it's ugly it's hideous ah come on I'm gonna chop it off I don't think so I cut it already in right away great yeah people are gonna see this video and they're gonna be like well these idiots can do it maybe that's the point of - tech tips all right should we fill this sucker yeah man all right so we've got our fitting up there no no everything's okay I think I thought I saw something drew I've got some 1/2 inch tubing up here that's going to take a while so you take a really long time so what's cool - about this hard pipe tubing is that its inner diameter is very small so the actual amount of liquid in the loop is not very much a total volume yeah it's gonna be like radiators and the reservoir basically stop okay that's not that bad we did all right yeah hold on okay you got the weight no memory kind of like bearish there we go and got it that was fun that was really fun that was actually that was really fun were you learning a lot oh I think thing number one that I learned is that to two things of piping is like no no no margin for error in a case this size if you guys are gonna do a hard line build because lift like long runs in a big case I think if you got a single color get three yeah yeah and then if you want to do a two-tone thing like us then like four yeah I'd probably say form one of each two of each color sorry I mean Jeffy made it but Jeffy we probably would have put them down if we'd have the option to redo Jeffy we probably would have so so that's something that you want to build into your your bill of materials the other thing I think I took away from this is that I wouldn't recommend a hard line tubing system for your first water-cooled build software softer tubing is way easier to work with like you just kind of add a belt like that and you're a little if it's too long it's fine so so there's a lot more room for error even for people who are experienced water coolers I still wouldn't do this personally like because for me I can do a graphics card swap on my liquid-cooled build in like 10 minutes this you are definitely draining most of your loop if not all of it you are definitely redoing some bends it's it's a lot more work but I think the result justifies it it looks absolutely stunning so if you were someone who maybe you're not even building for yourself where you're going to get frequent upgrades or something yeah I think it makes the production values of the system look way better just I mean this isn't that this is definitely one of my favorite builds that I've ever done or been involved in like what would be better the only ones like together I'd say the mineral oil bill it's my handle I really like that build yep but like for a more standard computer this right probably my favorite or if not my second I think that my overkill build guide that red one I did in the 900 I was like five radiators and all the Noctua fans and like all that stuff I think that still takes it where as but this one even though it's not like it's almost as high-end costs way less yeah and actually looks cleaner yeah looks cleaner overall that one I just loved for the just sheer because over done this I can't even move red I couldn't even move it five radiators so um yeah great build lots of fun I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did but I am like super hungry so if we've been ads all day how are we got this total nine hours from oh yeah must have been just as painful for whoever was shooting it thanks thanks by the way yeah anything it's gonna be a nightmare so guys thanks for watching like this video if you liked it dislike it if you thought it just plain suck leave a comment on the forum which is linked in the video description if you want to chat with our community or with us about this build blog and all that good stuff as always also linked in the video description is a place for you buy a cool t-shirt like this one like for once could you wear a line Aztec to t-shirt I told them all he has to do is order them I'll reimburse it for them it doesn't order the t-shirts there weren't packs that's what you did do that also linked in the video description is a place where you can give us monthly contribution if you love our work you can also change your Amazon bookmarks one with our affiliate code that costs you absolutely nothing but we get a small kickback whenever you buy fans or shirts or whatever it is you buy on Amazon I think that pretty much wraps it up guys don't forget to subscribe and follow on all that good stuff if you haven't already you
