how to deal with new hardware

[Teletha]

hi this is my first full custom loop with hard tubing and it is the first time im going to replace hardware in it now with the 4090 strix.

 

what is the easiest way to bridge the gpu connection temporarily until the block is released for it? 

 

I have the EK-Quantum Reflection PC-O11D XL D5 PWM D-RGB - Plexi in the front

A piece of soft tubing (can just be the generic hardware store pvc) connect it to fittings and well thats it.

The easiest is to not install the gpu until you actually have a block for it , requires zero effort.

just empty the loop, and let the cpu to be watercooled, and ya probally got tons of fans in ur case so if u install ur rtx 4090 it still can be used normally because u still get airflow into ur case.
and all u will need is to wait till waterblock releases for it.

unfortunately unlike soft tube that can use qdc or clamp down the tubes

 

you'll have to drain your loop, if u wanna reuse the coolant use a clean glass jar

 

if u wanna have loop to only cool your cpu, you'll have to bend some tubes to connect the loop together or get some soft tubing + barbs
