tubing path suggestions?

0ld_Chicken · February 3, 2016

So about a week ago I redid my loop with hard tubing for the first time. It was a blast and most everything went great but I have one weeping leak that I cannot seem to fix. So tomorrow afternoon (about 20 hours from posting) I'll be draining everything again to try a new fitting and redo that run if necessary. Does anyone have any ideas for the tube coming from the top of the GPU going up? I'm also open to changing the tube going back to the pump as well since I think I may need to switch ports on the GPU block, if anyone's got any amazing ideas I've got enough to re-do it all. Otherwise I'll probably redo it similarly (hopefully a slightly better angle). Also willing to take advice on fixing the weeping fitting without draining everything, Ive tried tightening it down until it is just beginning to dig into the actual block

That looks pretty good, if it's leaking between the fitting and the block when tightened it sounds like potentially a bad o-ring I would replace it. As for the tubing run maybe have it exactly the same angle as to the CPU but overall it still looks great.

good point, I've got some replacements so I'll try that with a newly bent pipe that is more exact. That was the original idea but I'll admit I got impatient after a couple tries

You were absolutely right, the o ring was completely split in half. Thanks!
