ooh piece of candy these boxes are usually very long because they have to fit the tubing in here and the tubing's you know those are pretty long stents so way it's so awkwardly shaped I honestly have no idea what's in here I just kind of told them that I needed a bunch of stuff and I kind of threw some parts at them but I don't really know what I ordered I think I ordered everything I need but we'll find out okay this is a CPU block I'm actually really excited to see what this looks like here oh it's completely sealed you gotta open it like a chip bag I know that is a thing of beauty check out how sexy that acrylic block is there d5 pump that's important what is this ooh this is a 1080 TI founder's acrylic block too bad I don't have a 1080i on hand actually both of mine or I had agar made because both of them stopped working I'll explain that later but it's not really important for this video we have here a dual single D 5 top upgrade kit I'm assuming this is the reservoir now this package is a bit weird I have to disclose this upfront so they didn't originally have any 360 mil rads to send they were just they were selling like hotcakes and then they couldn't send one for the build-up then they found one last minute pretty thick but I think we're gonna go with just a single radiator here anyway so the thicker the better although there is a form of diminishing returns involved with the thickness of the rad this should be plenty for a single CPU single GPU array I'm excited to put this thing in this is a silicone insert important for bending tube this is a flow indicator that's pretty cool so this actually has two built-in G quarter fittings and it's like an all acrylic package which is pretty sweet so you can see everything and a flowing inside there we'll definitely implement this somewhere these fittings are super cool you can rotate each section of these fittings to come fit where you need it to go it's why they call the fitting is right apparently I ordered a bunch of stuff for the reservoir and pump we'll see but more than better just in case something doesn't work out we'll be all right there here is our tubing again the more the better if we can afford to make some mistakes this isn't very much tubing but it should be okay I mean is it my first rodeo more fittings these look like these are just G quarter inner to three-quarter outer fittings that's nice again in the deluxe white color you can find all these parts linked in description fidgeting and building something similar but these look really good alright so these are the components we will try to throw into the build today in this part of the series may even get a few of the bends finished but I want to say something in reference to the comment that I pinned in the last part of this series that gtx 1070 down there yeah that one there will not be using that we will be using a gigabyte card not a not a hall-of-fame card they couldn't deliver one so gigabyte is pulling through here they're sending a gtx ten atti it's this one that's that's what it looks like but I think it's gonna persuade tin they're not only because the shroud is white but also because if you notice our attention to detail because I didn't talk about this in the last video team group is sending another kit of their 16 gig Nighthawk RGB Ram to go into these two slots over here so we'll have white and then a little bit of orange and actually the car it has a bit of orange in it so it's it's gonna work all around because look be quiet also has a hint of orange in their logo so super sweet how that worked out very grateful to gigabyte for pulling through the last minute also means we're not gonna have to water cool the graphics card and we'll still get to stay relatively safe with our color scheme so gonna work out really nice and make things a bit less stressful on my own because I have to shift this thing out like in three days so we're gonna be cramming last minute let's go ahead and start throwing these components into the rig real quick there's something I want to point out I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how tiny these fittings are usually you want like fittings to be images on the DL right because these are white though they're gonna stand in with the rest of the components in the build this is a nice paint job here these actually remind me of pretty much seals Revolver fittings quite a bit they're just considerably smaller so if you're looking for a standard size small fitting this one right here from bits power and might be for you all right well your boy feels pretty stupid so I was going through all these just super jank melting solutions to get this reservoir fitted properly to the case or to the radiator because well there give me a lot of weight in here and you want to make sure that it's properly secured so I was velcroing tie strap like zip tying like this is a super jank I don't recommend doing this but this is all I thought I could do with these for the time being because I'm really in a time crunch here but I ended up finding this Universal mounting kit perfect so there are little tiny holes at the back of the radiator we can screw through here on the narrow side and then the wide sides amount to a 120 mil fan frame so perfect I just I can't believe I spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get this thing to work so I've got a plan here this is gonna be our drain valve and what I'm gonna do because the radiator is mounted to the front which is gonna make it difficult for fluid to drain down right because the ports on the router up top I'm instead gonna have it run to the back like this I'll put a small hole out in the grille here should be nice and easy to do and that way you can have a tube running up and down and we can turn the PC basically on its side we can just rotate it to where the back of the piece is facing down and then all the fluid from above should be able to drain through this port all right well I'm going to call it quits for the day we'll finish up the tubing runs in part three a few things I want to talk about also discuss what I have planned for where the tubes are going to run the first thing here this isn't actually properly mounted and that's just because the the reservoir is a bit longer than the distance from like you know 120 mph and mount down here and the 120-mile mount up here so it's screwed up here but I'm not to use some adhesive on the bottom shouldn't be too big of an issue something else I want to showcase this this little drain port here that I have mounted to the the back grille actually turned out pretty nice so we're basically using tension here to keep these things nice and tight so they're very sturdy and all we're doing is just screwing one fitting on one side into the drain port on the other side and they're just kind of holding each other in place so again very sturdy I love being able to manipulate the grille in the back of the case for stuff like this I've done graphics card mounts vertically on this as well very very supportive and it's nice to be able to utilize that for things other than just mounting graphics cards so there you go there's something you can do if you want to just rotate your case on its backside and drain your PC that way you can certainly do that now the runs this is this is where things get complicated alright so I've got the camera mounted on a tripod so you see how everything's gonna work the pump is down here utilizing this little cutout that has some built into the PSU shroud for the dark base Pro 900 you can buy this v1 tech comm if you're interested so we have an import an out port obviously you want the pump to will not pump to feed the retro but the reservoir to feed the pump so we want this lead here on the reservoir to directly run into the intake port on the pump that way when we fill a reservoir up we can let it drain all the way down and get that fluid cycling through because you don't want your pump running on air that's how you destroy it so we'll have a flow meter I think right here in between maybe we'll have it on this side I don't know yet but we'll have a flow meter somewhere on the bottom just to kind of make things a little spicier I think this looks pretty cool by the way and then from here we're gonna have it come out and it's going to go into this port it's going to go from this port probably up and over into the CPU block and then from here we're going to have it feed the radiator so the radiator the radiator runs gonna go more than likely forward and then across and then probably up again just a little bit and then running into this front port and then it's gonna drain through the radiator and then out the back port I'm gonna have it kind of swing around like we did in our previous build and enter the reservoir from the top we're not cooling the graphics card remember because we're getting a gigabyte card I'll just kind of like do a little makeshift Photoshop work here yeah that's what it should roughly look like and again we have these orange accents on the RAM and the orange accents and the be quiet fans because the be quite logos is Port Orange so it's all gonna work really nicely and by the way I think for the fluid color choice we're gonna go with orange something along this color scheme here I think that's really cool white and orange don't see too many of those builds out there so this should spice it up just a bit more I've had a lot of fun building this case thus far plenty of space in there to pretty much do whatever you want so we're gonna get creative it's not gonna be just a run-of-the-mill custom loop and I think that the all-white color schemes will look really good with some orange fluid in it just makes the orange pop that much more if we throw some white LEDs in there as well not too much that we don't overkill it so stay tuned for part 3 it will be coming with the next day or so because I do need to ship this PC by like the 20th to LA and from there it will be shipped to Vegas for CES to be featured in the be quiet suite which is really cool and super excited about that you like it's good to be sure to give it a thumbs up I appreciate it thumbs down for the obstacle to subscribe but if you haven't already stay tuned for more content like this this is science studio
