Posted September 18, 2014 How expensive would it be if I wanted to watercool just my CPU? There is minimal space for a radiator (only a foot by six inches on the bottom). but I figure since it is only the CPU a small watercooling setup should be just fine.

Posted September 18, 2014 good tutorial! I'm not really a fan of sleeving over the tubing some of the things are not completely complete looking. That kind of bugs me when the sleeving has an imperfection at the end of the run where it sometimes frays out etc. Stuff: i7 7700k @ (dat nibba succ) | ASRock Z170M OC Formula | G.Skill TridentZ 3600 c16 | EKWB 1080 @ 2100 mhz | Acer X34 Predator | R4 | EVGA 1000 P2 | 1080mm Radiator Custom Loop | HD800 + Audio-GD NFB-11 | 850 Evo 1TB | 840 Pro 256GB | 3TB WD Blue | 2TB Barracuda Hwbot: http://hwbot.org/user/lays/ FireStrike 980 ti @ 1800 Mhz http://hwbot.org/submission/3183338 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/11574089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 18, 2014 Author Clicked the thread link thinking this was a dumb idea, clicked the Imgur link thinking the same. Typed this comment thinking the opposite. Nice work. Not sure on the colour though. Thanks alot! Seems like many people think the same way How expensive would it be if I wanted to watercool just my CPU?

Posted September 19, 2014 I think I dont quite get your question, I did not use heatshrink, if that is what you mean Sorry bout the english lewl, was sleepy yesterday. Meh, I ment the heatshrinkless method on the end of the wires... I find it more harder and time consuming to perfect and align them properly. |EVGA 850 P2| |1440p PG279Q| |X570 Aorus Extreme| |Ryzen 9 3950x WC| |FE 2080Ti WC| |TridentZ Neo 64GB| |Samsung 970 EVO M.2 1TB x3| |Logitech G900| |K70 Cherry MX Speed| |Logitech Z906 | |HD650| |CaseLabs SMA8 (one of the last ones made)| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 5, 2014 Author if the tubing is coloured will the colour show through the sleeving? lets say green tubing with black/white sleeves Depending on the sleeve, it is possible that it will show through, but you can use that to give it a unique look if you choose mdpcx sleeve as example it wont show the tubing as much as no-name brand sleeving.

Posted April 11, 2016 No? I was really just wondering whether you attach the sleeving in some way or just pinch it with the compression fittings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull the compression rings over the sleeve first then the tubing and then cut the sleeve to size. Did you ever try that? Did you ever have leakage? Should it not compress more and seal tighter?

Pull the compression rings over the sleeve first then the tubing and then cut the sleeve to size. Did you ever try that? Did you ever have leakage? Should it not compress more and seal tighter? You can try, but you'll see that you can't get an even cut that way, worst thing is when you get single strands of sleeve into the thread of the compression fitting. With my method I never had a leak, and I've built about 8 systems that way in the course of 5 years. Seems safe to me. The additional width of the sleeve compresses the tube even more than without. If anything it should be safer lmao My Rig "Jenova" Ryzen 7 3900X with EK Supremacy Elite, RTX3090 with EK Fullcover Acetal + Nickel & EK Backplate, Corsair AX1200i (sleeved), ASUS X570-E, 4x 8gb Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3800MHz 16CL, 500gb Samsung 980 Pro, Raijintek Paean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
