Sleeving the tubbing... Why didn't I think of that? It's brilliant! Can't wait to see more!

Starting to run into issues, case isn't really as big as it seems.  Going to have to figure out a different way to mount my res and pump, waaaay too tall.  When I was drawing it up I guess I really didn't take into account the 60mm rad with another set of fans.

 

Well figured out what I have to do, time to order more fittings.....  Hopefully I'll get some pictures up for you guys tonight.

 

Well another update, last for tonight.  No photos tonight, just noticed they shorted me 4 more fittings so I have to deal with that tomorrow.  Had perfect customer service before this not sure what's going on this time.

Its been around for years...look on OCN lol. It's not popular for a very simple reason. Everytime u fiddle with ur fittings/tubing, u'll have to adjust the sleeving if they are not used with heat shrink. Looks good though. Just impractical.

I'm sure at some point I may become extremely annoyed and regret my decision.

 

Here's a quick picture of the res filled and lit up.  Even with 2 led's its not quite what I was hoping for, they light up underneath more than anything else but they do produce some neat effects with the bubbles.

Looks nice, but the bubbles aren't going to be there forever, eventually you'll have to bleed it out, and spooosh, no bubbles.

Well just got my hands on another Titan, its tempting to watercool them right away but I think I'll wait a bit and just make sure I have an idea what I'm doing before I strip down two Titans. 

 

All my fittings should be here surely by Friday and some will be here tomorrow so hopefully I can start putting stuff together.  Tonight I'll work on taking some photos of what I have so far.

The braided tubing is a really cool idea that I've never seen anywhere else. This build should turn out to be pretty awesome in the end. Enjoy your dual Titans and you also have my support for Build Log of the Week when you finish.

Tomorrow I might be able to start working on more of the loop, not 100% sure.  The fittings I need to mount the res and pump won't be here till friday.  I might be able to run one line of tubing and test out the sleeving but we'll see.

Aww nonono! It may be impractical but if u don't change ur tubing or fittings or the color of ur sleeves, then it should be nice. It's unique just kinda a hassle hence the unpopularity. +1 to you sir!

Not something you see everyday thats for sure.

Should be fine, at least the first loop will only have 3 runs of tubing.

You can thank Corsair.  They look great just wish they were thicker.  Down the road I'm probably going to start learning how to do my own heatshrinkless sleeving.

 

I Like the Tubing D:

 

Thanks.

 

Got a bunch more fittings today and some sleeved sata cables though the fittings I will need to mount my res won't be here till tomorrow.  I should be able to get some work done tonight including the first run of the tubing.  Hopefully I'll get some in progress shots later tonight.

Stay away from ModMyToys Acrylic LED plugs, besides being extremely dim they are apparently fragile as hell.  They both just snapped off just when I was disassembling my reservoir.  Well no leds for the res apparently...

Mounting the reservoir will be quite the experience tomorrow, might be a bit of a tight fit but it should be fine.  Also I might be able to use extensions to mount the res to the radiator without using any tubing which will make my life a bit easier with the tight space.  More to come tomorrow.

 

Oh, also ordered these two SLI bridge covers, I'll figure out which one to use later.

Looking good, i love how you layout the loop

look so clean especially with that tube sleeve

 

I'll go with the NVIDIA one, the rog logo on the motherboard is more than enough to show off the asus rog theme

it glows really nicely, know it since I myself using the max V formula
