8pack Hypercube - build log!!

[BeeP]

As 8pack said, the system has shipped and I didn't record any videos. There really wouldn't be that much to see, most of the tubing is hidden in the back section. It wouldn't be very exciting.

Then you don't know how sad I am

 

[Shawy]

Actually. A video would have been hilarious. I'll remember to film it next time.

And here's why..


The fluid absolutely ****ed out as soon as I filled the res.

Upon closer inspection, I found the fault.


Yup. I forgot the o-ring. What a plonker.

It get's better though. In my attempt to empty the reservoir into the loop to reduce the fluid split all over my desk, I turned the pump on and, you guessed it, shorted the pump and killed it.


My apologies for not having that on video for you guys.

Aw man, so annoying! Will look epic once filled

Nice to see everyone can make mistakes

That's this years bonus out the window then.

Those loops look awesome, good work! How was your patience on some of those tight fitting spaces?

 

[Doogles]

That is why I will never watercool, I am to clumsy, so clumsy in fact I just got gum over my keyboard. Looking forward to seeing the finished product though!

great looking build more pics

It's nice to see a build log where you think "that is beyond my skill entirely". Not in a million years would I have come up with that tidy a setup, nor braved the scraped knuckles from fitting the tubing in those tiny crevices. Bravo.

While I love the look of this even if the hole are filed down nice and smooth I'd be worried about wear on the tubing from motion. I'd want some kind of protection

It is always wise to put some kind of protection on your tubing, no matter how nice the hole looks.
