hello everyone so what I want to do in part three part three of four now because I've just way too much stuff to get done to cram into one video to take probably another week to push out the final part which will be the finished product but what I wanted to do is kind of show you my raw impressions of two bending you know it looks it looks easy when you see the pros do it when someone like Jay from Jay Z sends Ben's PTT to me it's like second nature to him he's even admitted that he's done it so many times it you know you knows exactly how long a hole is he knows when the tube is just right for bending and I experienced quite the opposite especially when I first started out I was either keeping it too close to the heat gun or I wasn't getting it hot enough if you've seen a few pics on Twitter you follow me on social media than you you are well aware of my frustration so that's what I want to show you upfront just how frustrating it was to kind of to kind of jump into the whole two bending process but then after a while of course just like anything else you do get used to it you get better at it the more you practice I went through about probably let's see there are four of these packets in each large box that you saw in part 1 of ptg tubing and I think I went through about three large boxes so I always did a good you know 50 or 60 feet of ptg tubing just like practicing and you know trying to get my first Bend right and I started off with the most difficult Bend of them all so you'll see all of that here I do hope you enjoy or at least find amusing my frustration with the entire process okay you want to know what the definition of insanity is it's repeating the same process and expecting different results every single time I got this heat gun here and I kind of set up some chairs because these posts are a good distance away from me from the heat gun that's you know it's not going to absolutely torch these PT d2 but I am extremely pissed off because I've gone through all this and sorry about the focus just kind of sitting here because I've been doing this for the past two hours and I've trashed everything literally like some kind of inhaler i I've had a few close attempts this one was a pretty look pretty close okay I'm looking for a specific Bend to go from my reservoir to my radiator and this just I mean look there's bubbles or bubbles down there the cut isn't straight and the thing is pretty flat on top maybe because the silicone inserts that I have are slightly too narrow so the inner diameter of the PPG tube is just a little too a little too big for this insert so that's why it's kind of you can see even here on this test run you can see how the outside turns here are slightly dipped in from what the diameter of the pipe should be that's just because like I said the silicon is a little narrow so I've got this heat gun on and I'm going to set the tripod up and I'm just going to show you what I've been doing you know I've been I've been listening to the pros and listening to Jays to sense and I watched a few videos from Paul Hardware and you know just guys that I trust you have done this a few times and I've been what I've been doing what I think is correct but I'm just not getting a solid enough result that I'm satisfied with at this point - just want to throw these bends into project blue sky so yeah just you know obviously the frustrations involved with this this isn't you know this isn't something that anybody can just pick up and do the first time this takes a lot of practice and as you can see I have my graveyard of ptg tubes that will just never be used for anything because this is a relatively difficult task so after becoming extremely frustrated and just toughing it out basically just got to keep pushing if you stop and end up throwing you know like some cheap 90s in there like 90 degrees fittings and stuff and it's not a real hard line tubing built I mean sure you can put you know straight hard line tubes anywhere anyone can cut tubing but it takes a lot of patience actually bend the tubes the ways that you need them to bend in order to eliminate the need for those metal 90s and and 45s and such of course there are instances in which you would absolutely have to use those fortunately in this build I don't have any of that which is why I didn't want to use any I mean I know I can get away with using just the tubes themselves so that's that's why I was really trying sorry I haven't turned my phone on you that's why I'm really trying to just make this whole thing about the PPG and not about the you know cheap short cut fittings if you will so the way that I have it set up now I have this Bend here which is the one that you just saw that that part I was working on that this took about 15 attempts I went through how good you know 20 30 feet of CTD just for this one Bend so remember we have the tube coming from the outtake of the CPU Blanc running to the rear port on the top radiator and then we have this tube that I just kind of been it's not really a probably like a 20 degree angle bent and then bent bag of course to lead into the intake of the back red so that's what we got so far just two of the pipes and we need another full three but until the graphics card blocks get here all we can do really in this video is run the tube from here to the back red now this is going to be difficult I'm going to turn the turn the case kind of sideways here in a second you'll see what I'm talking about but there are a few things that make this particular vendek's tremely difficult to do I haven't even attempted it yet because I know this one's probably going to be tougher than this one I now see that so what am i have to do is either fit at 90 on here immediately kind of like this one here and just kind of already start out that way all right cameras on and just kind of already start out that way or I can have I'll just write it like this at a geek order here and I'll just kind of let it pop out and then bend it and then bend to the end but then once I bend it again I'm going to have to realign it to make sure that it'll properly align with the rear port here so there's just a bunch of stuff involved with this one with this one to bend that is going to be very challenging so I figured I would film this one because this one's going to be the most difficult you guys can see how frustrated and I'll likely get with this one so without further ado and I have not this tube I have the other thing or something else did you want to mention so I bought this this is like for pee people as PVC I think and a few other plastic tubes so I figured out this to be perfect and a few of you on Twitter did say that it would be good if seeing other people use this kind of cutter before to cut tubing I did not recommend this for ptg just take my words the problem with this and I'll show you right here is some b-roll when you cut this tubing what happens is the PTZ kind of warps because it's kind of soft tubing in the sense that you can actually bend it you know and kind of contour the way you want without actually applying heat at all and because it's a little more structurally sound than acrylic you can get away with that without you know seeing splits and spider cracks and all good stuff but the problem is you know if you're cutting too close to one side of the tube like it's just right here and then you'll definitely end up warping the corner you may not even actually cut through it this isn't the sharpest blade so you'll just have a lot of kind of after cut maintenance to take care of and it's just not ideal so now I recommend something else the pros know where to go I'll link something in the description that I think would be a good replacement for for this right here well one last thing before we get to the tube bin I wanted to bring up the drain cord issue so you guys were talking about how many went obviously that's something you would need for any custom motor loop you want to flush that fluid out probably every few months or so there are different people who say different things about you know time you want to leave the fluid in the loop before flushing it and even if I want to change it I'm definitely going to need to have a drain port so what I'm going to do is just kind of add on an adapter whenever I need to drain the loop so on top of this red here there's actually another opening at the G quarter fitting I could have actually run fluid from the top here and included that in the loop but I didn't have much space to do that and this reservoir is actually quite tall so I have a a G quarter 90 degree adapter that will I guess be oriented toward the camera and then I'll use this balled out here that's kind of like my on and off switch of sorts and I'll stick that on the end and then whenever I want to drain the loop I'll just kind of pull the case down left side panel down and then I'll let the fluid drain of course off but rotate the case and kind of flipped around in weird ways to get the fluid out of the blocks and whatnot but that's kind of inevitable I didn't want to have you know I got 3-way splitter and something weird just sitting in the open of the case I wanted it to look very close and very cohesive so I'm willing to pay the price of setting up the drain port after the fact rather than leading something dorky exposed there's also a port at the back of the reservoir that's kind of my bad I didn't take advantage of that earlier but it's not really aligned with either of the grooves in the in the back of the case anyway so yes that's my take on that so a few things to keep in mind especially if you're gonna be using this heat gun indoors this is just a cheap Wagner from Home Depot apparently all the cool kids use this one because it's cheap but it gets the job done open a fricken window and turn on the fan because this will heat up your room especially a small room in a matter of minutes and then also if you can be working with really tight bends wear some gloves only because the pipe about an inch to two inches away from the heat source will still be scolding hot so you know these are just a little rubber padded gloves actually Electrical gloves but you could use these to keep that immediate eat away from your hands it will burn after a while especially be holding it over it for a few minutes at a time so let's get going I recommend starting off with high heat to get the thing going and then turning it down to low heat especially if you're impatient this stuff takes quite a while to do it you'll see about a minute to two minutes to keep the to get the ptg malleable enough to start bending without creating kinks and bubbles and all that good stuff looks something else I forgot don't forget your silicon insert this one's slightly smaller than the ID of the PCG tubing so the bends aren't perfect far from that actually but it won't impede flow by any substantial degree if you don't bend the tubes with any kind of insert inside the tubing what will happen is little kink on the inside it'll just kind of like closed up very sharply and that's not good for fluid flow and then also the outside will collapse because there's nothing to keep it from from doing that you can already see it slightly Bennet - they have it on high once you see that go ahead and turn it down below here - want this to a kind of drag out if you rush it you'll definitely get bubbles that's just something I've noticed we see if I start to bend it now so to get a small kink there see at the bottom or whatever you want to call it it's a ridge that you don't want on the inside that means the inside is not hot enough so you don't want to bend it with that showing up and as you can see - we're starting to get the bubbles which means that two things happen so first off I was trying to bend it too soon so it definitely can't up there in the middle and then when I try to correct it I basically pushed it closer to the city to the heat source you can kind of see the bubbles showing up right in there that is undesirable that makes this entire tube especially that been structurally unsound so if you see bubbles start over and just for the heck of it I'm going to keep holding this over the flame just to show you you know it can get really bad Oh you see this is just a liquid now I mean I could pretty much contort this however I want and it will just move with it so yeah severely overheated that just you get those huge bubbles of Pvt G and yeah this is complete trash now yeah so I had this whole Bend planned out and I left the silicon tube in the entire time tried to pull it out and the tube snapped so I got start from scratch again the joys of ptg bending this is this is some lovely stuff folks you need so much patience especially when you're first starting out in order to get these things just right oh yeah I'm going to end this video on an epic new so this tube right here thing looks a little crazy you're probably wondering where this is supposed to go this is supposed to run from the CPU up to the top 360 no radiator this was believe they're not my second attempt I'm actually getting pretty good at this I was a terrible at first I went there about four large boxes of phtt tubing before I was able to nail my first successful Bend but I'm getting better at it and now granted my friends aren't perfect you see there's still flat spots on the top and it's kind of jagged it's not a perfect perfect Bend by any means but it's good enough and though we're going to now put it in the build so we can see the finished product that's how I'm going to end the video so here we go I'm going to swing the camera around here okay so what I was talking about it's going to run from here up to the opening on the backside of the top radiator and oh we got it backwards okay so this is worth wait no I still go back there we go we're swinging it on in uh-huh all right got it aligned there okay that one's pretty much good to go and then up top here she's just gonna oh yeah oh yeah all right now that's a woo I tell you what for my second attempt I I'm going to brag a little bit that that was one heck of a bend it took so long to do now just so I was so I guess precise with my bends because I didn't want it to you know start bubbling up I didn't wanted to kink anywhere and I really didn't want to do it over again so I really took my time on that one and I really think it paid off so that right there is is what we've got so far in project blue sky of course the only two bends we are waiting on the bend from the reservoir pump to the water blocks for the GPU that will be in parallel both GPS being parallel here with that one blossom optical and then from there to the intake see it says in there few viewer concerned about like my orientation you can't tell that it says in on the inside and this is out over here so in out and the pump will be moving from the water will be moving from from here up through there so those are the two bins we're waiting on the water block should come in sometime this week and then that'll be it for part 4 we'll fill the thing up make sure that we don't have any leaks and a project blue sky will be finished but let me know what you think about us but we've got so far I'm honestly I'm honestly proud of myself for that then that then took a long time I'm glad I glad I nailed it without having to waste like a whole day on it this one here I might end up redoing this one just because it's a little skirts and imperfections particularly down here this one I'm just going to leave this one was a royal pain but you know after about two or three boxes of ptg nailed that one this one I talked about two or three attempts and then this one took two attempts here and this one was by far the most challenging in terms of you know the number of bends in it whereas this one which is challenging because there were so many bends taking place in such a small space now that's it one more big look at project blue sky as as she is right now and will be will be getting back at it for port for sometime this week I'll be uploading a few videos that don't have to do with project blue sky for now I sell gloves long stuff but yes you see a motherboard review and maybe a few other just kind of benchmarks and whatnot and then we'll run this thing at the port for sometime next week this is Salazar's studio thanks for bending with us that's a new one you
