unidirectional noise cancelling microphone with LED mute indicator available in RGB and Wireless trim too so click the link in the description for more information welcome everyone to arctic panther build log part 3 I have a couple major things to get done today one is going to be to focus on some wiring I got to get some sleeping done on the pump reservoir and then I also have to fix at least one supplemental 4 pin CPU power cable from the power supply and I've done a sleeve one of those I made I'm gonna start with some cables leaving probably and also of course I'm gonna start bending the tubes and hopefully get the loop filled up but before I get to any of that I have like a little pile of boxes back here and I have some like accessories some extra stuff that I have been collecting some of it I have gotten from vendors but most of it has just been me impulse buying stuff on like performance pcs and Amazon so I want to go over a few of those things but it's still in the boxes so let's start by taking them out of the boxes oh yeah and I also need to blame you guys for a lot of this stuff too because a lot of this is some responses to stuff that you guys said in the comments for last video but anyway ignore most of the stuff on the right side up here this is this is the power supply which I'm going to be doing an unmasking of in just a few minutes and then sleeving Cable saving stuff and then that's just a random stash of stuff I've been working with anyway though starting from the top primo flex just some flexible tubing from primo gel cuz hey I realized I didn't really have any of this and when you need some flexible tubing and all you have is hardline stuff it's nice to have some flex tubing from Mayhem's I have two things this is the Blitz cleaning kit just nice to have that for cleaning out stuff if you need to do really thorough cleaning the full system I've never used it before but I've read about it and stuff in it does a really good job so then also from Mayhem's I have a piece pH testing kits which may come in handy in the future impulse buys yeah good to have this just doing here this is this is for nori oh now what's this add a new bone sit good girl sit pretty is it pretty good girl there you go yeah run away and make out with it here I was interested to hear oh here doesn't like chew toys he doesn't really have many teeth to chew them with so there it is anyway I'm getting distracted how could I not just look at her okay back to her old one is uh not doing very good moving along this already had this is from exit XS PC and it is a just a cable cable chopper that's what I'm gonna call it I'm gonna call - chopper very sharp tested out already there's a really good job cutting the ptg really cleanly so um it helps speed things along alright I got a set of micro files and needle files I guess is what these are called file a lot of this fine file a lot of quite a lot of this stuff under would have been convenient to have already but now I have them so they go big ol stack of sandpaper cuz same papers apparently I'm into sandpaper now got this kind of last minute I wanted to have a temperature sensor and I completely forgot to order one so I needed to find something on Amazon that we're gonna get here quickly so this is a g1 quarter plug with 10k sensors so the sensor is actually in the plug there so I can just put that cap anywhere in a system that has water from the system up against it and I'll be able to tell the temperature then the other side I can just plug into one of the thermal probe connection points on the motherboard the box underneath is a 4 terabyte WD hard drive because I needed to have a $35 more order to get this to ship quickly and 4 terabyte hard drive right alright this was sent directly from primo chill let me see if I can swish it around and this is a reaction to Jay's video on this so thanks pretty much know for sending this over this is their view fluid still there it's still in development but it looks really cool it's got kind of that shampoo effect so I'm gonna maybe test that out and see how it looks in there also I'll so it's pretty much ill orderic so it came with sour patch kids okay whoever shot my sander before it wasn't a real sander and now I have an actual sanding block that should be convenient and helpful got some tap magic stuff since I've been drilling into metal useful to have this for lubricating things and making sure it doesn't get too hot and keep getting a clean cut I got some nitrile gloves since I've been complaining about getting fingerprints on things I can wear the gloves now and that's super helpful for a wide variety of things I'm really I've been meaning to get those for quite some time come back to those in a second I wanted a funnel and they had G 1 quarter funnels this one's from coolants the liquid funnel with adapter so it's got a G 1/4 threading on the bottom and it's kind of squishy smaller than I thought it was gonna be but it also comes with a little tube that you can feed down in there in order to let the air out so if you don't have a place where air can escape this can be very helpful while filling your loop I see ideas that I'll just stick it right there screw it on there and be good to go for the pour the fluid right in now this I didn't buy this this I've had it's it's my pin extractor which I've use for modding my my power supply over here for example but since these are delicate and they can't break and since I actually wanted the pin extractor for molex we just got a kit that comes to the molex pin extractor as well as pin extraction tools for several other types of plugs in the PC including replacements or a backup for my standard PCIe pin extraction tool right there so that's nice to have speaking of pins Wow these are standard molex ATX PCIe power pins the same type of pins that are used in pretty much all the motherboard EPS and PCI Express power plugs these are really expensive for some reason they I feel like I should go and buy these when I'm in Taiwan next time and getting really cheap in Amite I have a set of those now so those that's a backup in case a break a pin as I'm doing a bit of the modding here also I didn't have one of these I borrowed the one from from Kyle last time who is a crimping tool so that when you're actually attaching these pins to the cables use the crimping tool to crimp them in place and that means that I can basically make any cable I want of any length I wants and replaced pins on broken pins on the end and that kind of thing so that should be really helpful and finally finishing out my tools I got a center punch which is very helpful for drawing into metal and starting out stuff and then uh okay steps drill bits set yeah hey so many people as I was drilling the holes for the fill and drain ports on the define are five over there in the last video I like Paul you need a step drill bit set so or at least at least a step drill bit I got a full set I can go up to all the way up to one and three-eighths inch and they're like coal bolts or something and they come with this case that makes you feel like it's totally worth the money because look I mean it's got a nice fancy case anyway and that is all these stuff that I just bought can recently so I'll post links to all this stuff down in the video's description if you are interested in any of them and let's move on and start some cable sleeving I'm attempting to harvest a 4-pin CPI connector from this old modular cable and I'm not doing a very good job at it pretty much mangled this one I got piece of it a piece of it stuck inside so I'm seeing if I can do the other one instead so I want to get this power supply situation resolved and here's my dilemma I need another 4 pin supplemental CPU power connector here the ATX 12 volt as it's more commonly known my problem is from my outs on the back here everything that's hardwired is hardwired I can't and there's no there's nothing else available there I've got two of these white eight pin outputs and those are actually made for ATX 12 volts and PCIe but what I did in the original build was I took my two PCI Express power cables or my graphics cards because I have two of them to eight pins commands that are hardwired and then have two more that I made the cables for here and those are gonna be using up to those two plugs so I have all my peripheral connectors here and this is a you know it's a big old power supply it can handle the the juice it's got the juice that it needs but it's got a single 12 volt rail too so no matter what my 12 volt connectors are in here I will be connecting through that 12 volt rail now quick disclaimer this is not meant to be a tutorial or anything like that so please don't go poking around with your power supply wiring and circuitry unless you know at least a little bit what you're doing don't take my word for it but basically what I did was I took one of my peripheral cables that I made last time because I know I did it right the first time these were functional and I back traced the connectors here for the Meseta connection points caseta has a 12 volt 5 volt and a 3.3 volt and I traced that back to the actual 16 connectors for the peripherals on there and I figured out according to that I've got two grounds three point three five volt and twelve volt I want that 12 volt but I want to 12 volts and I'd rather not go splicing off of a single one because kind of the point of the 18 gauge wires going to each 12 volt rails each one can only support a certain amount of amperage and you don't want to go over that so splicing them isn't the best solution so first answer question one because there are pins in all six of the each of these slots there yeah there's pins and all of them so mystery unused pin but any of their peripheral cables what is that that's another 12 volt maybe I can just connect up to that so I've got my black lead connected to ground power supply is now on because I've got a hot-wired and just to double-check my chart the top right should be 3.3 volts 3.3 volts good the bottom left should be our 12 volt cool 0.3 it can be a variance of about 5 plus or minus 5% pretty standard and then 5 volts should be bottom right there we go there's a 5 volt and then bottom middle - no that's a no juice that's probably just another ground or it might just be a dummy not connected to anything because right now we're getting like 35 it's climbing all right this is getting my beyond my knowledge of explaining that but basically I can't use that I can't use that bottom extra connector the upshot here is that I'm gonna need to use two of these peripheral outs to go into my single for pin power connector but that's that's okay I have three peripheral cables that I made originally that I don't really need so much anymore I only really need a molex connector for the pump in there so these I'm probably just gonna set aside and save I'll use some of the original cables that I still have Salvage to pull the caps off of that and then I'm sleeping yes all right sleeping cables here goes all right so I've made the weirdest warp in ATX CPU power plug ever it goes into two of those peripheral cables into the power supply and the power supply side the plugs are reversed on each of these if you look at the colors just because I wanted the plug on top which you might be able to vaguely see through the top of the computer to be alternating kind of like that you know so aesthetics of course but two plugs on the power supply side or pins on this side let's give it let's give a quick test the two top ones should be 12 volts and the two bottoms should be ground 12 volts yay so volts again yay let's try the other ground all right 12 volts and 12 volts it's like we're good and here is my completed sleeves cabling for my D DC pump and this is the part I'm least enthusiastic about I was not I need some like wider gauge he trick because this was not wide enough I tried to work it all the way up there to get to the end but it just it gets wider there cuz I'd already put some other heat shrink down there so that's as far as I got it's not very clean right where it meets the pump that's gonna be facing the back so I'm okay with it also this huge string comes a little bit further than I want to want it but again that's it's gonna be hidden so no no big deal I did two wires per sleeve to keep things just a little bit tight here and with all black mainly because like that's when I have the most stuff left over now and then here's my two end plugs I did replace the white caps that were on they before was black and I used some heat-shrink stretched it out to go around the end of that one cuz that will be somewhat visible plugged into the motherboard and then the molex plug on the other side also replaced with a black cap and again some not the prettiest heat shrink down in there to cap things off but hold things in place and now I think I can finally if I install my power supply yeah a power supply progress so some last-minute logistics before things get too crowded in there because I need to make sure everything's plugged in I've got front panel connected already USB and all that good stuff as well as power reset now what I've got to worry about her fans so I have I was gonna have a bunch of these little splitters or at least a few of these little splitters but I ended up only needing one there's actually seven fan headers on this motherboard so two of them are right down here and these two fans are plugged into that two of them for the CPU in the top left I'm going to plug those two into that there are three in the lower right hand corner so the two front fans are gonna go into a one front fans going to go in one of those and I'm going to split off one of those for that this fan as well as the bottom intake fan that will leave one more and that's a pump header fan down there and that one's going to connect up to the PWM plug for the pump I also realize I had my ROG SLI bridge here which lights up of course and that has a separate little cable that comes off of it and I completely lost track of that cable and I thought that the entire build was going to be ruined but fortunately I found it at the last minute and it has a splitter and the end so it doesn't actually eat up an entire RGB out on the motherboard so I can plug it in and then also plug in an RGB strip to it so get an RGB strip set up to be at least down here in the bottom but there's also that digital RGB header I don't have a digital RGB LED strip yet but I am gonna take the cable for that because there's a special cable for it that only has three pins so I'm gonna plug that in and have that wired I've gone to the back so if I do get one of those digital RGB strips I can plug it in and I won't have to worry about accessing the head around the motherboard once I get the RGB wires wired up through back there which I'm gonna start actually getting some glue getting oh no it's dripping others horrible damaged glue gun it's a boogers just got on my newly sleeved cable since it's not cool okay sorry so because this little plug right here and the cable comes off at a really weird kind of inconvenience spot aesthetically just kind of kind of fold it back here and use my glue gun hold it in place hopefully I'm sure this is standard operating procedure oh that's too much it's okay if folded the threading inside the fill port is different than the threading it's this is g1 quarter this is just a thicker gauge threading for the fill port so I can't use my fancy filler up again plan B at my first leak almost immediately that will teach me to go forward without putting paper towels down in case of leaks but it was the cap that I had on the reservoir pump right there and although aesthetically pleasing these black caps from ek should only really be used to cap off flat G in one quarter fittings whereas this one's recessed so it wasn't sealed right there and it started dripping down I have paper towels ready now though so let's continue so look at the flow indicator is flowing so guys let me I mean I need to wrap up this video this video has taken more like three days as far as the actual amount of work I've put into the build of course a lot of that had to do with filming it and whatnot and also overcoming obstacles and dilemmas I've learned some special important things I need to give a shout-out to Richard aka Darth Beavis when it comes to bending this thicker stuff thicker 16-millimeter ptg tubing it's just a bit more challenging you have to warm up a bit more of it and everything and his video and just actually watching him do it just as far as how aggressive he is with getting the heat on there as long as you're careful of course to avoid bubbles and everything the super helpful so thanks Richard for that video and that I'll post like that one in the description beyond that I did discover a new technique that I developed or I have no idea this is a normal technique or not but it's basically that as I'm bending when when you know when it's got the insert in there and everything and it's warm and I'm bending and if it starts to bubble up or something like that I was taking one of these soft cloths basically just wrapping with it and like holding it so I was like squeezing the bubble back down with my hand and then waiting for it to cool off a little bit and I was actually able to salvage several pieces that way which was which was useful because when you're bending ptg tubing it's a very fine line to go from this is an absolutely vital integral part of my build that I must protect now at all - this is a piece of scrap plastic that I'm not throwing away and I hate this Bend was what basically killed my evening last night because I had had everything set up I got all the bends done I had them all in place I just didn't have the fitting caps on all of them so I went to do that really quick last night finish it up and then I was going to pour some watering because I promised you guys that I have water in it by the end of today's video this was what I called my J bend and I had actually replaced it right down there and it looked it looked pretty cool when it was in there it helped me not use quite as many fittings to get this vertical part right here but when I attempted to actually put the cap on the end just just didn't want to go in there and that's because this is part of the bend right there and so the uniformity of the roundness of the tubing had been warped and therefore the cap wouldn't go on so I tried to salvage it started sanding it down and whatnot and eventually I was just like I hate it now and it sucks so I had to scrap that piece and go back to my original plan of using a few adapters on there now I have water in it as you guys can see it's percolating it's bubbling a little bit you can hear the pump this is a DDC pump it's it's a good pump DVC pumps to make a little bit more noise in the defect so I'm getting used to that beyond that though was mostly leak free except for a little cap on the pump reservoir down there that I had to replace to get that to fit in there of course this is just distilled water in there right now I'm just gonna let it run and do some leak testing and make sure there's no leaks and then for part 3 I have lots of things still to do of course several of you notice that my cables need some training I'm still in the process of doing that and I still have more work to do there but I needed to get water in this system I can't do a part 3 of a water-cooled build and not actually have water in the system so good water in the system but I guess when it comes down to it my goal was really just to get water in the system for today's video as I promised you guys so I've done that I hope you guys are liking the look of it so far I'm pretty stoked with it I'm happy I'm happy with what I got going on here so far if you guys are happy - if you think it's looking good thumbs up button on your way out of course and leave me a comment in the comment section I've been getting a lot of feedback from you guys on this build and has been impacting my decisions in certain areas so keep that coming thanks again for watching this video guys and we'll see you next time
