If not, then you should invert your res and put a 90° on the GPU block to horizontal over.
Thanks to Shazza for the idea and JA for the link and implementation pic. I ordered an additional Res top which will make things much better. I also rotated the Di and just for grins I checked the VC PCIE sleeving to get an idea of what lies ahead for cable management. Needless to say, the sleeving was just one battle. I decided not to go with the 45 BP fitting on the EK block. I just didn't like the look. LMK what you think.

I should finish sleeving the 24 pin tomorrow but I am running out of sleeving!
Nils, Charles I need more!
It's lovely looking, but I just can't help but think that tubing is going to pop loose off of those barbs :(
Thanks for the kind words! I can tell you this; once you get it on a fitting, you cannot pull it off. You have to cut it off which is why I have very little skin left on my thumb and two fingers!Quote:

Lookin good Rocky, I like the blue more and more when I see it. From a looks standpoint the 45 might be the ticket (did I just type that? :shrug:).
The only problem that I have with individually sleeved wire bundles is that they lose some of their beauty when they separate. But when they maintain their uniformity it looks very sharp. The question is how to achieve this, tie wraps, separate sleeving? A black banding system would look good, hold the wires in place without having an eyesore.
I think that this is going to require moar scotch to contemplate the possibilities. :up:
Oh, and because of you I have my UFO torn apart behind me trying to tame the wiring nightmare that is my computer. :eek: It is a good thing that I already drink or this would definitely drive me to it. :ROTF:
Maybe you can twist the tubing on the GPU-Res path to not have it "arch up" so much. A gentle torsional twist before pushing onto the 2nd barb might make it lower profile.
Are going to add a fill port and hose over to the naked barb in your picture?
I think the blue looks good, and I like the fact that you have such a small amount of tubing for a CPU and 2xGPU loop.
I'm kinda still thinking the use of a 45 or two would make the CPU > GPU loop look a little less strained (not that it is, just the way it looks). It sure isn't going anywhere, and there are no kinks, so flow should be good.
It may be. There is about a 1/4" of slack as the VC's are not screwed into the backplate. And I thought I was anal:eek: Thanks!Quote:

I would quote him about his thoughts but I don't want to get in trouble!
The tubing leading to the Res is on a 3/8" barb so that I can make adjustments. Once the tubing goes on the 1/2" barbs it is not coming off. Believe me, there is no such thing as a gentle twist! I have lost a great deal of skin getting the tubing on the 1/2" barbs. The tubing rests in boiling water for about 30-45 seconds and then you cuss your brains out and hope!Quote:

Thanks to BA for the tubing choice. You would be hard pressed to kink this tubing. Now, back to the scotch and smokes, yes I know I am politically and socially incorrect! Oh well:D
Many thanks for all of the input, I appreciate it.:)
I think if you just shortened up the tubing between the cpu and gpu it would make a nice smooth curve and look fantastic. If you group up your pci-e power cables and keep them tight it'll look great. Maybe if you take a 6 pin and 8 pin from the midplate up to the bottom card and then run the other 6 and 8 pin behind the motherboard tray to the top card that could make it looks really clean. I know Charles did the Fried Chicken build like this and it really worked out great.
I can second the note about the secure tubing. After rebuilding my loop I had to cut the tubing off, I couldn't get it to come off otherwise.
I can see where having a 45 in there might detract from the otherwise very clean connections, but I dunno. We'll wait to see what the pic shows. And, it's your preference that counts!
BTW ... pretty hard to be politically and socially incorrect around here.
Oh, I hope I didn't offend, I was just trying to be constructive. :( I think it all looks quite beautiful, but I do have a habit of sitting and figuring out anything that could change to make it better....yes, I guess that's the definition of 'anal'. :DQuote:

Do not ask me to put the tubing on the fitting!
LMK what you think! Now I am off to get the anchovies:up:
I haven't had my scotch yet, but those look like 90s to me ...
Dood, I don't know how you eat those things. I had them once (accidentally) on my pizza in Hong Kong and I just couldn't hardly stand it. And I've eaten some FOUL things in my life. Whoa, sorry to go off like that. :rofl:
On a side note, I really like the BP 90 (those are 90's, Johnny Walker) there, but again don't like the logo. Are those 90's not very restrictive?
That is a 90 degree fitting, maybe a 45 would look less sharp of a transition. And I agree about the logo, ruins a well made fittings look.
Like this...

hey on your gpu#2 shouldnt you move the output of the card that goes to the res over to the other side of the block as to let the flow of the water take a full path through the middle of the block?
the way oyu have it now the output of card #1 passes right through card#2 right to the line that goes to the res.
doesn't seem right :)
besides that looks great

LMK what you think about the blue sleeving. I have only done one on the top right corner for the 24 and the 8 pin power supply to the MB. I am thinking of doing the same with the PCIE's for the VC's....what do you think?
I also received the last of the fittings I needed (45's) and the additional Res top for the bottom. I really want to get this rig finished by Sunday. I need to sleeve two more cables and that is about it. I am also redoing the midplate again! It could have something to do with a combination of red and blue this time.:eek:
I truly appreciate all of your suggestions, advice and critiques! Keep them coming. TIA
PS..it is OK to try this at home!
Hey, man, why are using male connectors at both ends?

Rocky,
Love the picture of your pup. :up:
What about the blue being the middle wire instead? I too struggle getting the heatsink lengths just right, sleeving is truly an art that I have no way mastered. Some people make it look so easy, now those are artist.
We still need to come up with a way to coral all the wires once sleeved to give them that uniform center to center look. MOAR scotch is needed to contemplate this. :)
Ah, so it's NOT the Scotch talking. :DQuote:

In the case of corralling the wires, keep your pants on! I have it covered and all will be revealed this weekend. I am in the process of working with the patent attorneys!:D

Don't be too hard on yourself re the heatshrink ... wait to check it out once it's plugged in.
Dixie is enjoying herself, saying "sure glad he's doing that, and not me!"
I must have missed it but what sleeving kit is that? Looks like they actually include the right size heatshrink unlike most of the generic kits out there.
Since I'm still awake, I'll answer this one ... it's the murderMod.com PSYCHOPACK PSU sleeving kit, available for ordering on the website. It's excellent.Quote:

Rocky, what did you decide about the blue? Leave it where it is?
Hi theseeker, let me say that I like the people who choose a murderbox
For your sleeving with blue accent, since I'm making a mod with sleeving too, I've been thinking of color accent a lot of time, and after looking a lot of charles build, my conclusion about that, it use a simple graphic rule (same used in photography, graphic design, cinema, etc) the rule of 1/3 2/3 proportion
Add more blue, just 1 line is not enough, try 2 black, than 2 or 3 blue, than all black

I added the 45

versus the straight fitting...I like the 45 better but this is starting to look like a Harley and if I change the top I may have to change the bottom....?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...DSC01591-1.jpg
I am leaning towards no blue sleeving. The blue sleeving looks a little too light compared to the tubing IMO. Once again, your thoughts.
The 8 pin MB connector will be passed under the MB and the 24 pin I have not decided upon.
LMK your thoughts. You guys and gals always have good suggestions and I am on old trying to learn a new trick!:D
get blue sleeving thats big enough to cover the tubes? :D
Personally I would not do the blue, it is tough to get symmetry when the wires are crossed and the blue is all by its lonesome. Now if you did an Aquaero sensor wire or USB wire in blue that might fit in nice. I do like the 45 as it makes the run smoother out of the block.
Everything is looking good, can't wait to see the next step. :up:
In agreement with SiGfever. I definitely like the 45 better.
BP 45 FTW! ;)
It looks like it's coming together well. The blue sleeving does add a special touch, but probably hard to implement right.
I'm not crazy about the blue sleeving, to be honest. Although I was scared to say anything because I didn't want to be the only naysayer, lol. I was starting to question my own artistic eye!
I am in love with that 45. It is just so absolutely smooth, and it fits so well. Don't worry about changing the bottom. I think everything flows the way it's supposed to there. But then again, I haven't seen how your inlet is going to run, so that may play a major factor in that CPU outlet, and a 45 may be better.
Keep up the awesome work brother!
Thanks John! Good point, I cold sleeve the temp sensor from the Res possibly?Quote:

I would try the 45 on the CPU block and see what looks best. Doesn't your Aquaero require a USB feed like mine?
seeker, you may need to flip your cpu 90 degree's.
the way you have it now it seems like your intersecting the long side, when you should run paralell to it.
Noticed on blocks it works better when your run paralell vs perpendicular.
I have no fingerprints BA, between sleeving and tubing! My housekeeper was watching and wondering what I was doing boiling H20 and sticking tubing in a coffee cup today. She flipped out over the Rad-Dance too!Quote:

Once again, I have to vote with SiGfever ... I would definitely at least give the 45 on the bottom GPU a try.

I fully intend to start leak testing by Sunday AM so if you have any more suggestions, speak up! BTW, the blue sleeving will not be used. I am replacing all of the regular plugs with the BP plugs.
One question; I read somewhere that BP fittings only need to be tightened by hand, is this correct? Seems strange to me.:shrug:

I too would do hand tight and then 1/4-1/2 turn with the protected pliers.
The original way also looks nice if you decide to stay with it. :up:
Oh, by the way, got my scotch in hand, a little scotch on the rocks. :D
the wife beg me for margaritas today !!!!!
I use normal needle nosed pliers inside two fingers of a latex glove. Works great!
Looks like I need to pickup a new tool. ;)
Am I the only one here that appreciates a good beer?
cheers
Dang ... I gotta agree with SiGfever again. Having a hard time visualizing how the tubing is going to look with just one 45. BTW, I think the 45 looks good.
I do pretty much what others are saying on the BP fittings ... hand tighten (which isn't a lot, given my old, aging, weak hands). Then I use some needle nose pliers. At first, I wasn't using anything to "protect" the fittings. My husband informed me I was screwing up, so since then, I've put some tape on my pliers. It is SOOOOO helpful to have a backseat driver :p:
As I get more confidence with the BP fittings, I worry less about tightening them all the way. Makes it much easier to redo my loop, which I seem to do regularly.
nice work log :)
btw, try this for your pump

You guys are making me want to go buy a good bottle of scotch and try to fit in!
I decided against the 45 off the 2nd VC. In the case of the scotch, JWB is a great scotch, the gold is not worth the price IMO. The Blue is outstanding but just for sipping and not drinking. I also like a few singlemalts too. I did the Spey Scotch tour a few years back and I loved it, not to mention fresh fish and chips! For the money Aberlour is the best and it is outstanding. My personal favorite is Longmorn but it is hard to find.Quote:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01600.jpg
I most likely won't use the bling but it is cool. I will sleeve the pump wires.
Now the fun part. I knew early on that I would have a cable problem with the 24 pin due to the size of the Feser and the Zeus PSU. The cut out in the M|M midplate is completely blocked by the PSU so I decided to flip Rad and the PSU. However, I have always been a pull proponent and not push. I have two options; 1. Go with push on the fans and route the 24 through the midplate or 2. Stay with the pull and route the 24 behind the Res and through the front and down.
Any opinions or ideas? TIA
Thanks alot for the pointers, Seeker! :up:Quote:
