Posted January 25, 2015 Hey LTT. Figured I'd show off my two rigid tubes I've bent so far. I am pretty proud of myself since this is the first time using rigid tubing and my first time water cooling. I've gone through two 36" tubes with only 3 fails, I have 6 more tubes left and I need to create 3 more bent tubes. Using UV blue coolant by primochill, yes bad coolant but it will have to do for now, I'll replace it in 6 months or so. Waiting on my two GPU water blocks and bottom radiator then ill be good to go! *UPDATE* So here are some newer pictures. I installed the bottom radiator and bent one tube from the reservoir to the rad. Yes it's a weird bend since the fitting doesn't line up straight with the red outlet but you won't see it anyway. My GTX 760's have alphacool waterblocks on them, waiting on the SLI bridge and blue LED strip to arrive then I can finish off my build for good! Sorry for the bad camera quality, I am using a Sony Xperia U. Also, the cable management is OK, I may redo it though especially since on the camera it looks AWFUL. Need to side in the hard drive cage and connect those up too. Let me know what you think. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 25, 2015 Author Ughhh that is a thing of beauty when another intel generation or 2 comes around ill be doing this looks amazing keep up the hard work! Thanks! I'll also be upgrading to the next intel generation since my current FX-8320 is on the edge, I want to hit 5Ghz with it for the lols. Hopefully I'll just be able to purchase a new mounting kit without a new water block. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 25, 2015 Those bends are beautiful. And your coolant, if that's what it is, looks perfect. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 25, 2015 Author DAMN!! Nicely done Mind if I ask what brand of tubing Thanks, I used Primochills PETG tubing. Didn't have to heat the tubing up that much at all! blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
