welcome to part two of this pc build log um i cut right to the chase i hope you enjoyed the tech porn so this is an example here of a bend we'll be using in the build this is actually a bit longer than it needs to be so i'll be cutting the top part as well as the base that i'm holding and you can see if we line it up while it is too long and too yeah just all around too long it should fit snugly from the cpu block we're going to run it to the back tube so that the turn from here to here had to be very sharp both of those turns did but it looks just straight up like it should line up as long as we cut those links down so that's what i do i don't measure i don't take a ruler and mark on the p pd TG anything like that I just kind of eyeball it I keep cutting down just barely enough to to the point where it fits nice and snug remember you want to keep these connections very firm you don't want any loose connections you don't want to need anything loose at all period because your fluid will find a way out it will find a way out trust me alright so that is the first fitting apart from this one here which was just a just straight up I used a couple of 90 degrees fittings to basically line that up with the opening in the 90 up top in the back of the rad so the next loop is going to be the next Bend it's going to be from here down over on top of the graphics cards and then down into the intake of the pump we want our reservoir to feed the pump directly that way we can cycle the fluid without having to worry about you know the pump not receiving fluid and just basically spinning on air which is not good for it so I have the first Bend of this this part here finished so it's got a 90 and it's going to come across now I want to make just like a more like a just a mental note of where I want to actually Bend this tubing so I'll just leave my hand roughly where I want it to be bent and that is where I'll concentrate the heat with the heat gun all right and here is a setup so far don't worry like I said in the beginning of the video I'll be showing all of you how to bend tubes if you're interested in a separate tutorial so you to see bends just like these being made but that'll be in a separate video now every Bend is in here except for the one leading from the graphics card actually from the radiator to the graphics coordinates the direction of the flow so up top I'm going to put a ninety and I'm going to have it kind of angled slanted maybe 45 come down kind of squeeze between these two pipes here and it's just going to chill and then somehow make its way into here this is going to be a very very tight turn but we'll see we'll see what we can do there my hands are pretty chewed up from twisting these so that's the last Bend it's going to be the toughest one I expect but in the end it should look nice and still that's I love that about these custom loops it's not necessarily the fluid I mean the fluids cool I like seeing it but in the end it's just there you don't really see it moving I just kind of exists save the reservoir of activity but what I like most about custom loop so they fill out the entire case for the most part if you play your cards right if you plan on SLI or crossfire in cards you can usually fill up you know most of the space in here and that's what I like most is there's no wasted space even though it is quite expensive so with that we're going to tackle this last Bend and then we'll add the purple fluid now you might be wondering this point why I did things the way that I did some things you Republic what was he doing on floor didn't make any sense so chances are I probably tried the Orthodox way and I didn't work out so I would Plan B C or D the first of these is the inclusion of three dust filters now these are aftermarket they aren't included with the case the regular defined C dust filter it's like a huge door it's really nice but because the case is not too long which is what I addressed in part one I couldn't put the fans inside the case I had to put them on the outside but the good thing is the front panel still clips on without a problem now if you have some dust filters laying around it fit that fan config you should be good to go the second thing you might be wondering is why the heck we kept rotating the PC like a 45-degree angle every power cycle that's because the weight of the loop is set up the reservoir feeds the pump directly which is a good thing it means you're not going to more than likely be pumping air which is a good way to kill your pump but the reservoirs rotated sideways so because it's horizontal the little intake fluid ports on the bottom which are actually on the left side in this case are halfway up the reservoir which means the reservoir has to be halfway filled at least for fluid to drain into the pump you know if it's sitting upright so we kept having to rotate it to get that fluid into the loop so that we could power cycle it and not have to pump air with that if you have any questions or concerns feel free to leave those in the comments below I've also included all the parts to this build here so you can pick and choose what you want if you want to build something similar I also use primarily thermaltake custom loop gear a few alpha cool fittings but for the most part it's Thermaltake I'm also going to be working with primo chill here and on your future and then possibly ekm and talks with them as well so more custom loops on the way also some cheap builds gives ya what the heck 2500 bucks where's the cheap stuff that's what you all subscribe for most of you anyway so we'll get back into those as well this is science studio thanks for building with us No
