Project Bahamut

[Danny79-Qc]

Respect your shopping habits. Each person is different. My parents and me have been doing this for long time with international travel - self import stuff from asia, us , and europe and in the case of hong kong, often times export stuff from here there to store at the flat there (so think stuff not available there or expensive like tide, filters, pots and pans, even 3 ply toilet paper). Even bring back crabs, lobster and hotel cut prime ribs a one point. We transfer old routers here that we upgrade over to hong kong.

We sometimes still buy cellphones, laptops, cameras from hong kong but not so much now. Just wherever cheaper for us, offers most extras and has color choices we what. I probably next time am buying an laptop from china and pickup myself and bring back as china has lot more models and specs i want and are very affordable prices (cheaper than canada). Warranty isn’t an concern since i go there every year so can service then. I got access to local currency so also conversion not an issue. Of course this things are only available select group of canadians.

In the future i will do it for my custom keyboard stuff. Thats another hobby to avoid. Stuff expensive as watercooling lol. I haven’t gotten my first board done (groupbuy stuff takes 6-12months) and its over 1000cad spent. Planning my second board.

An leakshield will not help you just to let you know. Bunch of us with dual reservoir and dual d5 asked aquacomputer. There’s too high flow rate that it will leak. I wouldn’t have it on in your case unless you need it for filling, draining.

I am tempted to order one in but its not very useful for me with the way i designed my loop.

Haha it's exactly the reason I wana grab one. For air bleeding. Then store it back in it's box. It would not be an issue with this project since the pumps are not on the same loop. I don't see a point to have something like that exclusively for leaks since there's no reason a hole would form like that at any point and I'm pretty confident in what I do. If it holds with leak tester, that thing is useless except for the other things it do. Like the air bleeding for one. Very useful for builds you can't tilt like the one I'm doing. Bleeding air with the cpu loop has been a real pain because the top rad have the ports down. To Bleed it properly, I'd need to tilt it on the side but the doors will break if I do that. So only option was to power cycle on and off but it wasn't very effective because of flow restriction. That thing will Bleed loops without moving a single finger lol. Anyways, I don't think Anatoly will get them before I'm done with upgrading it and filling. Unless I can get my hands on one in like two weeks, I won't be grabbing one. Or maybe for the next project if I get there haha.

I try to keep it locally or at least to our country to help stores owners and our economic so you won't see me order from the US anymore. Unless I have no choice with all the "out of stock" we see lately lol. And I encourage people to do the same. Plus, I know you like Optimus, they are not badly performing outside the fact their block are very restrictive but something really bugs me. We are the country right next to them and I just can't find anything to justify their prices and the extra we have to pay here. That's the US for us lol.

Now to get my hands on a leakshield lol. I can't tilt that case so bleeding is a pain and that lil thing can do just that. Well, it can do other things but it's what I need it for.

Yeah. I can't wait either. That's another reason to finish this one quick so I can start anew with the new Quantum line once they come out. Hopefully I'll have enough time to do it. Starting a new treatment soon too which got approved here not so long ago. Some people have been having it outside of our stupid country and they are still there after 10-12 years. Stupid law here, they take forever to approve health care stuff. Hopefully my body will react positively to it. Will see..
Anyways, EK needs to release their parts faster lol. Lots of people are waiting on that. Just like Watercool. It's taking forever to get here. Not that I will be using anything but I know lots of people wanting these parts and don't want to go through international shipping.

Hope so. I am used to international shipping so i keep on going that route. We both will see ongoing upgrades, i bound to get stuff in 2022. If your looking for watercool, aquacomputer i will be placing orders next year. Couple other items i am targeting from us brand but take rest for now.

Can't wait to see your. It's going to look sweet with all the new products from ekwb recent expo.

But honestly, I should've given it a long time ago. I need to finish it before too long. I've been running on fumes for a while...
Give it to the nephew and start my own project would be smarter anyways

[Danny79-Qc]

Hahaha. You know me.
I gota give it some day tho! I've been on that project for soo long.. I just keep upgrading over and over. Even thinking of going with FLT360 lol!

Farbwerk360 is an good rgb controller. I bought one and love it.

I know. If I didn't need the octo I would've taken it but I won't need it. I got the bitspower one until I order the octo.

[section31]

Oh! Past the 2000 views!!! Thank you everyone for watching!
More updates will be coming soon. Got a bunch of new parts last week from Daz. Pissed at myself right now... Placed another order. Was looking to buy a fan and rgb controller, the Octo more precisely but they were out of stock.. so I told myself I'd wait and was expecting a couple weeks before he would get more. So I went ahead and order bunch of other stuff... almost 1k just this week In parts... just to wakeup this morning and see Daz has received the Farbwerk 360 and restocked on the Octo!!! That's how my luck has been since I started this project!!!!
I wana cry now , no joke!
Anyways, see ya all in a couple weeks, once I have upgraded that thing...

Nice update. I bought the last Octo from Dazmode. I got tired of my AQ6LT due to it size and the extra cabling work needed. That and all the accidents that occur when my hands accidently hit screws and case corners.

It's cool. I'll just get two Quadro. Will do the same job. These controller can handle a bunch of fans so I'll chain them 3x3.

And another chapter!!!


That's about it before filling both loops... Oh, forgot to say!!! I dig the frosting when it's not solid liquid so going to replace for clear and clear blue at the same tube I do the new runs.. that means extra work and disassembling bit it's gona be much better me think!



And here we go with the coolant! It's the last time we are going to see Captain Smurf!
air bleeding has been a pain for the cpu loop... can't tilt that case or the doors might break lol... so it was on and off and on and off...


Yeah... Didn't think I'd ever need that little guy again but I broken the vertical GPU mount... gona have to get that as well... Oh! And did I say my windows can't be used anymore??? Yep, learned that yesterday! Changed hardwares too often... Even called Microsoft line for stuff like that and I need a new one... I hate to buy only keys when the pc isn't for me. So it's another 200$ ima have to invest in that thing.. Of course, it couldn't go simple or it would've broken the chain of issues I've been getting.


Finally! After multiple reboot, I managed to get into the bios! Can't believe I have to replace the CPU as well.. ****! Anyways... Let's move on!
That's where I've got so far. Now, to get everything I'm missing from Daz store in 2 days then we will decide what's next!

Have a good day everyone!
