Finally got my Loop done!

[gt403cyl]

Well sort of, I do plan to change a few things around with the tubing like adding some 90* and other fitting changes.

 

Anyways here is the build:

At the bottom where the tubes go behind the window out of site I have my drain setup with the valve and a plug I can add a section of soft tube to drain the loop here's a couple pics:

 

No real questions just a completed build.

nice

those are some very complex tubing runs

[Nonco]

Looks awesome man

 

Was the rigid tubing difficult?

[blueballs]

oh dazmode finally got petg tubes I gotta do mine now 

 

Btw looks awesome

[TheKDub]

Nice, but I don't feel too sure about that bend down by the PSU going up to the GPU, it looks like the tubing was stretched a bit where bent

 

imo it would have looked nicer with sharper bends, but you still did a great job and it looks good as is, much better than I would be able to do lol

[LeightonPC]

You did some very unusual runs but it looks awesome! Nice work

[gt403cyl]

Thanks guys,

 

I know it's not the prettiest runs but it works well.

There is only 1 tube I don't really like, the 1 that bends under the GPU, I made a small twist when I bent it and made a wrinkle but you cant really notice it so I left it.

 

The flow is:

Pump>CPU>top rad>GPU>bottom rad>res>pump

So everything is getting the coolest liquid possible.

 

 

Looks awesome man 

 

Was the rigid tubing difficult?

 

 

It took some getting used to when bending I did a few soft tube builds but this was my first hard tube build and I would do it again for sure, I bought 15 20" lengths of the tube and I still have 9 left untouched so really not too bad, there were 2 or 3 I messed up on with complex bends.

 

The bend above the PSU I tried using a socket to make a nice bend but I think the tube was too hot but yeah it worked.

Thought I would add some benchmarks so far...

Small update I change my loop and sleeved my GPU cables as well as the 24-pin.

 

Looks a bit cleaner.

Moved to Build logs as it seems better placed here.

Thanks yes better spot for it.

Damn, looking awesome man!
