Unfortunately my torque collection is no where near the size of yours (and won't be).

Lol thats why I didn't understand you. What did you want to trade then?

I will have some spare torque titanium 90 and rotary but not enough for your build. Most of my fittings are BP + Optimus. Likely to use some Granzon Ball (better tubing runs).

Ahh yeah, I'd end up with mixed colors lol. But if I ever find someone and need to trade some 90s, I'll let ya know. Thanks for this offer!

Thank you very much! Health isn't really back but at least I'm still among the living! No one's react the same to these treatments but I thank the Lord every extra day I get up hehe.

Well, I don't know if it's coming along nicely but trying! This build was not good enough for CAMC buy hoping the next one will. If I already managed to grab some sponsors, it must not be that bad lol! I know it's not the best looking and I'm not the best builder but looking at my situation with health and the tools I have left compared to what I had at the shop and compared to what other modders/builders have access to, like 3d printers, cnc, space to work, I think I'm doing decently... So big thank you for your kind and positive comment! Really cheers me up after the bashing I received this week about it... Was demoralized and had lost interest. Almost gave up but luckily, Jake was there to cheer me up too and then you. All I need is that kind of positive attitude.

So anyways, I don't even remember what was my last update.
So gona put a couple pictures. If I already posted some of these, I am sorry!

Decided to list all my fitting for sell or trade so if anyone looking for some, hit me up. I'm also looking for a good set of Satin Titanium fittings.

Finally started tubing again... 4th time? Hopefully the last time!

Getting all the fittings ready with my plan of tubing... Someone told me the flow indicator looks bad there but honestly, when it front of it for real, it really doesn't look bad at all. I need to be able to see them spin from where I sit and with a 65inch monitor, it's kinda far and there's many spots in the build where I would not see them... It was either there or between to horizontal lines and I hate installing them between 2 tubes cause it will make it sag from weight and could potentially put the tube to come out of a fitting since one end is vertical... Even after asking friends from EK, it's the best solution we came with..


Only thing I dislike are the argb cables.. a bit hard to hide there lol!


First tube in!!! Yeah, I'm back with my level...
I just want everything to line up perfectly...
I don't want to mess up since this build is my sponsor bait!
I was insulted by a &%#$^ that this thing is ugly, over-engineered and stupid... meh... Im meticulous and I don't see it as a bad thing!

A suivre....

[Danny79-Qc]

Sooo.... next!!!!


I couldn't get the "flow indicators look dumb" out of my head so decided to try at least one thing.... And hmmmmm nope! Looks bad imho so decided to say **** what other people thinks, I like it like that and went back with my first idea!


third run in. So far, it's not too terrible! I think it's the set-up I prefer out of the 4 I used. oh yeah! Sorry Daz! I decided to test pre-frosted tubes for the first time! And never again! Those are very bad quality. I don't know about the Corsair ones but these lose their effect alot when manipulated and I have to redo the frosting. So it's not really saving me much yime. Plus, they won't do nice little sharp bends... Bitspower and EK are much easier to work with... I'll have to try Darkside eventually... Probably on the next project!
My latest run... I got a little greedy on my 180°. But it works!
I didn't think I would manage on the first try but yup! Happy on how things are getting...

I don't have pics but I refreshed the frosting on the reservoirs... again... now only 4 more tubes and it's complete! Just need yo figure how I will connect both XE radiators on each side!!!! HELP!!!!!

That's it for now... be back once more have been done!
Have a good weekend everyone!

I think that granzon fitting i linked to you might help in that particular run you are having issue with. Shipping will be long time though. Hope Dazmode gets some.

Which run? The 4 runs left to do are easy. I just need to decide how I will bend the tubes for the ones linking the rads together cause I can do it in many different ways lol. Either go with 3x90° bends or mix fittings in it or use 2x45° bends. Lots of possibilities haha.

[section31]

One of your earlier runs involving your flow meter. lot of options but its nice being able to use less than 3 90s lol. I tried it on one build, wasn’t fun experience.

Oh. No I don't have problem with that run. It's already done. It's just someone said it is ugly where it is so I tried something else to make that person happy but obviously came out looking worse. I'm not worried about 3x90°, my record is 7 bends on a single run lol. Being technical and meticulous like I am, it's not hard to do. I just want the best looking option. The tubes with 3x 90° bends are done but I think there could be a better looking solution so I'm using my extra tubes and left over to explore these solutions. So far, I'm not satisfied still.

Same here. Still hoping to do some run betters. I will see once alderlake/raptorlake upgrade happens. I can move the gpu back to 2nd/3rd pcie slot as they are all 16x on intel.

Which board?

We will findout when z690 releases.

[Danny79-Qc]

But how you know they will all be x16?

It won’t be all. There will be motherboard with such all i suspect
