is there a full length build in videos or do you not do thows anymore?

[Mnpctech]

Thanks for the post Thrasher! Thows? hmm, maybe not enuf coffee for me yet, but Sorry for lack of updates, I'm juggling too many non-PC projects, but finally got break last night to edit Part 2.

I experienced the very common Pump failure with the Corsair Elite LCD AIO. I tried everything according to Corsair Troubleshooting FAQ

 

*Shut down PC and shut down PSU manual switch, as per Youtube Influencer channel suggestions.

*Removed / Re-Installed Corsair Elite LCD CPU block.

*Removed / Re-Installed Corsair Elite LCD Screen.

*Unplugged, re-plugged all connections, check fitment of all AIO USB and Commander Pro cables.

*Install iCue Firmware v4.27.168 update. 

This Corsair AIO Elite LCD unit with the "pump failure" error was purchased from BestBuy on 8/11/22.

 

I gave up and ordered new unit from Amazon Prime. I swapped the Commander Pro Unit from the Amazon Prime unit to the BestBuy unit and the Corsair Elite LCD "pump failure" was fixed. Everything works perfectly now.

Ordered Montana Gold paint that I'll test first to determine if it's good match the familiar fallout game Blue & Yellow colors utilized for vault-tec boy. Hopefully these paint choices will be used for my fallout Gaming PC mod paint finish. I may test them on custom fallout theme fan or radiator grill first.

Here is the color palette I found for the fallout game,  https://www.schemecolor.com/fallout-vault-boy-colors.php

I'd be somewhat cautious with Montana, IME they seem to have garbage quality control. Had multiple issues with their pains in the past doing all sorts of weird stuff including clumping and not properly hardening.

Their Montana GOLD line? @HM-2

Never noticed those issues with GOLD line, but one of the nozzles clogged on me in this video. 

 

 

This system will be using EVGA 3090Ti FTW Gpu in this video card / gpu shelf display stand

I tolerate the Montana GOLD nozzle spitting cause their color selection is the best and Montana paint is very durable when it cures. Here's the case with wasteland Patina over the Montana GOLD Magic Blue and Easter Yellow colors. Next video I'll share some of the Weathered Paint tips. Note the PC's case front bezel round mesh grill does mount flush,  I didnt push it in all the way.

Here's the final results no the painted fallout vault-tec pc fan grill for the corsair sp-120mm RGB fans

I finished Corsair 400R side access panel to make more progress on the fallout 25th anniversary PC mod. I will share how I weathered everything in the next video installment
