Bigger tubing have thicker walls, which makes them harder to ruin.

You are forgetting that OP used a SysPrep, which is most likely acidic.
If there where some left in the loop and as you say, liquid turns blue from it, then we have an answer.

Or you can just make things easy and buy a helix reservoir, like this:

They build workstations for companies, using 1080Ti's. They might have some tips on how to set the system up, so it wont kill it self.

Both CPU and GPU is above average, so not much to upgrade to (for gaming).
 
It might be RAM, but remember that with X99 so will anything above 2666MHz, require Base Clock (normally at 100MHz) overclock. Meaning that everything else that is effected by it, would need to be checked/changed, like the CPU overclock.

I would choose one of these, when they becomes available: https://www.amd.com/en/thermal-solutions-threadripper
 

So I would be fine under load, but not recommended.
 
Guess I need to start looking into dual PSUs then.

Heating something like a metal tube in the oven, then carefully heat up the acrylic/petg as well. Set the metal tube on something and try and wrap the tubing around it. The heat from the rod, will help keep the acrylic/petg soft enough to bend. To cool it down, just pore some water into the metal tube.
 
I believe thats how you can get a result like that, but it will require some trial and error.

It will stay together till Parvum is done with my new case. Hopefully I can start building next month.

I have seen plenty of SLI build and not once have I seen the GPU flow been taking into account. It always just get whatever flow direction that fits the rest of the loop.

Do you have enough motherboard fan headers, to bypass the Aquaero? Would just need pump and maybe a few fans, as idle should not overheat the system right away.
That would be the easiest way, as you can just reset in in aquasuite.

Best answer for way beyond cooling needed, slower fans and the way it looks.
Most of the crazy over the top projects I have seen (and done), was so the radiators could use slower speed fans and still have way beyond the cooling needed.
Granted, you might be able to get away with less surface at the same fan speed, with little to no difference, but most of the time so do people prefer to fill up the cases they have, as it looks better that way.

Most editing programs these days support GPU rendering, so the GPU power is not going to waste.

The adobe suit can make use of GPU when rendering and doing other tasks, so I would work in an 1080 or better, depending on what resolution and length of projects we are talking. Also, Premier and maybe other programs can use multiple GPUs during rendering, but only uses 1 for playback.
 
As for Ryzen vs I7, so I would go for 6800k or 6850k, as they both are expected to hit 4,5GHz when overclocked, while the Ryzen once struggle to go past 4GHz.
And faster cores are better, as the Pudget link over proves. The 4 core 7700k keeps up in a lot of the tests, even with the 8 core 1800x.
Another reason for not going Ryzen, is that the Adobe suit already have had time to optimize for the I7's, while the Ryzen will need a few months or more before its there.

I said the 4 core 7700k can keep up thanks to its core speed, but for a dedicated video editing rig, so is the 6 core X99 I7's the best middle ground option (5820k or 6800k or 6850k). The 8, 10 and 12 cores a bit out of this budget, but depending on how you balance it so can you get the 8 core 5960x or 6900k in.
 
Xeon is more for when you need more then 128GB of ram, as adobe programs seems to only scale well to 10 cores, then the performance gain falls of hard after that.
If you need more performance past 10 cores, so is it better to look into adding another GPU and try and optimise the render for GPU rendering (different codex uses different amount on the CPU and GPUs).

Besides things already mentioned, so does a lot of PC parts have soft metals, like copper or aluminium. Meaning its easy to strip the screws and/or the hole, which will suck in the long rung.

Car radiator + some kind of block (anything that could be mounted and could transfer heat) + aquarium pump + garden hose, thats what people did before manufactures started making parts meant for water cooling.
 

Which tube gave away?
Just so we know for next time someone mention that cooler.

 
And to everyone saying water cooling is not worth it: Take a look at the difference in GPU temps and GPU boost numbers on water vs air vs hybrid cards.
As for risks, so is it motherboard breaking do to weight (specially when moving) vs components getting soaked in liquid (if the leak is near any). So each there own.

Something to consider is that there is a possibility for single slot cards to come out, as the 1080Ti dont have a DVI port blocking that.
Wont matter as much on a ATX or E-ATX board, but it will give you a lot more space on smaller motherboards.

Most components got LEDs these days, I would rather they be RGB then a static color you cant do anything about, unless you mod.
Like the green Geforce logo on GPUs.

I would rethink your monitor choice, as you get much more out of a G-Sync monitor. If you dont have the power to force a constant 60fps, so does you benefit from G-Sync. It makes it almost hard to notice that the fps changes as you play.
