Project 'Blue Sky' Custom Loop PC Build Log (Part 2 of 4)

2017-02-09
what is up everyone I figured I would slap on a mic and introduce my social media accounts for those of you who might be new to the channel but who are interested in some kind of custom loot PC like the one which I'm working on I do recommend watching part one of project blue sky if you haven't already check it out in the card right here but if you want some backstage passes if you will to all the production work going on that's not on camera I suggest first and foremost following me on instagram at Salazar's studio white tee right there but you can find it in the video description as well and then also on Twitter same exact handle and they're both run by me personally so if you want to ask questions or check out some cool pictures and video then you can do that by following both of those accounts outs of a Facebook page where I usually I'm not as active on Facebook and I should be but where I usually just post like video links and I'll show some pictures as well typically they're all tied together so whichever social media accounts you prefer you can follow me on any of those three so that you check out some current progress of project blue sky speaking of which I think you are ready for some tech porn am i right here we go oh you boys are safe for the yeah you and here we are I thoroughly hope you enjoyed the tech porn segment of part two this is what it's going to look like apart from the fact that our GPU blocks aren't here yet optical told me that those are on the way they weren't in stock when I originally requested them now but those should be here by the time we start running the the tubes through the whole system I do want to comment on a few other things that I realized when I was throwing the cables in and everything so the power supplies in there and there's plenty of space in the back compartment for cable routing all that stuff well will take care of more of that in part three but I did want to mention first off my man Tony hooked me up with these epic custom cables the these colors here these accents you can see he went with two different tones of blue which i think is gorgeous now I just kind of told him to have at it just come up with something that he thought would look awesome and a blue seemed to build and he followed through he doesn't do this you know normally he just did this for fun just to help out a friend and I I greatly appreciate that so don't go away no knocking on his door asking for custom cables and stuff he'd just you know here's a full-time job he doesn't have time for this but he did make time for for this one kit and I think it's really going to pay off in the long run and once we get the blue coolant in here I think it's gonna make a blue pop even more than it already does so hypothetically speaking let's pretend like the graphics card blocks are already here so we're not you know using the stock EVGA coolers anymore we have the water blocks fitted and we have the little sli bridge fitted as well let's pretend we have that already all installed and all we have to do now is run the run the ptg all the way around the case so let's go through where exactly everything is going to go because it is a bit cramped this is a big case but it's not it's not designed for you know epic water cooling this reservoir is actually a bit bigger than what I would recommend for this case doesn't realize that till actually got the reservoir so you kind of have to work around that going to be a bit difficult having the funnel fluid up through the top here but that's only going to be for filling up I'm not going to actually run a tube into here so the fluid will only be circulating in and out of these two so starting from the reservoir you can see it says out right there that is where the fluid will leave and then that will um I guess I'm going to just come down like this behind or underneath the cables here now was something I wanted to talk about I originally had these cables going up and over through there but it looked a bit weird because these were pressed right against the reservoir to just look too crammed so I decided to cram them another way way underneath here there's actually uh there's a little cable management cutout down here underneath the reservoir I managed to the reservoir the radiators I managed to a wedge both the VGA cables underneath there so it looks a good strange underneath but you know from the on the front here once the camera decides to focus take your time there we go now it doesn't look too bad so that's kind of what I ended up going with as for the 24 pin you know it's always slightly unfortunate when the 24 pin lead on the motherboard doesn't line up perfectly with the rubber grommets on the case and that's not really a big deal though I had it funneled from the top from the top groove up here and though it's kind of making like a 45-degree angle and then I had this CPU EPs pen did the same thing so there's kind of a you know like little diagonal looking trend going on there trying to do the same thing with the USB 3.0 cable but that's not really working out too well anyway so the anyway the PGG coming down from here and then it's going to straighten out then I don't know if I'm going to need a 90 degree Bend or not but one way or another set tube will then upward this way and look at that parallel port here for both of the water blocks and then it's going to come up I'm ghost on the front here so it's going to come up and then it's probably just going to I don't know I don't know if I'm going to do like a 45 or something or just kind of like bend it in just cut play it by ear anyway it's going to go from here to that intake that will import naught and then the out port right here is likely going to sue this is where it can be tricky because it's going to start covering up this x99 logo assuming a stick with this motherboard which I'm probably not to be honest so that's not that big a deal but the pipe will come back up forward a bit and then upward actually no I don't know if I want to do that now because this is this is interesting I want it to basically go over the ramp okay I don't want the RAM to be blocked I had the tubing anyway and if we decided to go with RGB dims and we definitely don't want those covered up by the liquids I might just have it you know come out just a bit and then bend it and then probably bend it back up maybe I'll put a 90 on here just straight up I'm not sure how I'm gonna do that because I needed to go behind the reservoir so one way or another that pipes going to have to end up kind of back here and then the pipes going to go back here another problem I'm going to be something about the 24 pin if I wanted to keep doing it to move up this way there's going to be a problem getting the pipe through there so another issue will cross when the time comes anyway that pipes going to go up through to the left port on the top 360 red and then work its way down I think I'm going to bend this tube and lead it into that port on the back side and then of course from there it'll come out from here and then I'm going to do some really intricate bend work getting that thing back into the intake on the reservoir and of course the pump will keep that circulation going so I expect that this Bend right here will be tricky only because it's so small and so precise that one's probably going to take on a 10 tries it's just a conservative estimate there it's why I bought a ton of PE T G naught and then I think that the other Bend that'll be really interesting is the one from here to to the radiator because that's going to be one solid piece however I decide to route it so that's going to take a few attempts as well I expect maybe the one from here to here but I do expect this one should be pretty much piece of cake whatever I decide to do there and then the bend from from here to the bottom should be fairly simple as well that's how I have it in my head of course that never actually plays out on paper almost never anyway so we'll see we'll see where we end up in part three so we do hope you enjoyed watching the build process as it's coming along I am having a lot of fun with this build I do think that I'm going to try to do more of these in the future obviously just because building pcs is like kind of second nature now I've done so many times I just just kind of repetitive honestly it doesn't have the spark that I used to have and that sounds like relationships in general but now that we've thrown a different variable with the mix water it's like building a whole new PC inside of a PC if you get what I'm saying like it's a whole other process that you have to account for and I think that it makes it just much more enjoyable and much more challenging I'm going to try to finish the bill in part three but this is you know custom leap stuff so it could be dragged out to the park for I'm trying to finish this quickly my LCU been complaining about other tech tubers who takes too long to finish custom loops and stuff whatever they have the reasons I'm just trying to get this out of the way because I have other craft to do you know I'm a full time student so I got at class and stuff homework but anyway worst case there would be two more parts I do want to close the video by giving another huge shout out to Alpha Coulomb aqua tuning or hooking me up with all of this gear this stuff here that you're seeing and then I also I'm actually you know I'm just going to walk over there so yeah this is the rest of the gear you see a ton of fittings over here so ninety degrees we have a bunch of you know just adapter fittings and stuff like that and then all of this is PE TG tubing so there's four pipes if you will in each of these boxes there's a ton a metric ton of PTT tubing to work with which means we can afford this screw up as many times virtually as we want a lot of fittings in here this is kind of like a PT g2 bending tool whatever anyway they were super cool about sending all of this gear so huge shout out to them if you guys want to custom cool anything I mean they even have stuff that's that's pre-made that you don't have to do a lot of work to assemble and stuff like that they have all of that available on their website I have the u.s. affiliate opportunity in the description click on that one if you live in the US if you live elsewhere especially in Europe this is a german-based company so you're gonna have plenty of access to alpha cool gear if you live in the US or in Europe or just anywhere in America for that matter so yeah big shout out to them again I cannot thank them enough for making this possible and I do hope that you guys consider them for for any future custom live gear you might be interested in just you know dual masala dailies check them out I don't think you'll be disappointed they offer a lot of cool stuff if you want to make your rig look anything like this I do I do hope that you'll consider alpha cool for your future custom loop PC build I'll catch you in part 3 I might upload a video in between this part and part 3 zone so stay tuned for that probably the motherboard of V video that'll be up shortly this is Salazar studio thanks for building with us
