    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.

    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! Click image for larger version

    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!

    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..

    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....

    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!

    Oh ok. Well, if you wana trade it gota be like this week because once the tubing is assembled, it will be a no turning back for me. I have a bunch of Torque, AF/ACF specialized fittings, 24 x Torque 14mm, Bitspower ballvalve and drain fittings, I think 16x1000mm 14mm tubes and 4x500 as well as the PE 360 that needs a recoating and a Vector RTX RE rgb for 2080/Super + nickel backplate and white Quantum D-RGB upgrade kit that goes on the side of the block. Like I said, I trade all that for a specific number of Satin Titanium Torque fittings that would cost around 700$. It's a good trade offer but the chance I find someone with those fittings I'd like 0.001% lol

    I have solely been buying Titanium ones myself. You can always ask me down the road, you know i am going to jump on Optimus Extenders and Rotary Fittings. Who knows, maybe i will like the granzon one (they are unique) that i might replace my 90 rotary with them.

    Yep. I love the Torque series. Just wish I had Titanium over nickel but no one e wants to trade... offered for 1300$ of fittings for 700$ of Satin but found no one yet lol. Even giving away a PE radiator and a waterblock and backplate for 2080/2080super
