Working on the ambient side of the loop today. Setting up to test the 3960X and RIVE under water.






Mocking up components to test routing of liquid lines. 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD Norprene tubing is hard to bend and fit in tight places.





The Team Group 2400 9-11-11-28 RAM came in (4x 4GB).





Working on some of the supply/return valve systems.





Made a custom stand out of some old Ikea speaker stands.





Reservoir up top with a couple silver kill coils.





Liquid line routing. The open ended valves that are shut will attach to the Geo-thermal section of the cooling loop.





Testing out the loop and checking for leaks.





Getting rid of air in the system as been a huge PITA. I am going to have to come up with some sort of custom pump/system to force water through the system and flush all the air out under pressure. The Iwaki RD-30 is a beast of a pump in a closed system but if there is some air in the lines it has a hard time getting going. The system already used 1 gallon of distilled water and I ran out so I wasn't able to fire the rig up. Tomorrow is another day.
