00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:07,319
everyone keeps asking me for a system water cooling guide and the reality of

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:12,840
it is it's too much work and very few people care so uh maybe I'll just do

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:17,160
sort of more random blogging about my my system water cooling upgrades whenever I

4
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:21,160
do them so uh step number one for this this is a full system right now I'm

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,920
using quick disconnects because I was temporarily running a CPU only Loop

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:30,519
while I waited for my graphics card to get a water block so what I'm going to

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:37,120
do first is I'm going to drink the water out of the system and I will do that by

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,000
taking my quick disconnects and uh

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,559
just uh clipping the zip tie that I have over the Barb here over a bucket making

10
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:47,920
sure that they're positioned over the bucket and then basically removing both

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,760
of the quick disconnects that's what I'm going to okay that was it I actually

12
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:57,320
don't need much of the water drained out because all I'm going to do is cut this

13
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,199
piece of tubing cut this piece of tubing put a full cover block in there with a

14
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:08,040
video card attached to it and then I'm going to run the system and uh uh refill

15
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:12,920
the res as necessary okay so I've swapped out the old graphics card and

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:19,000
swapped in the new graphics card put in my power connectors put in my screws so

17
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:24,280
everything is hky Dory as far as I can tell so now all I need to do is measure

18
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:28,920
this tubing make sure I cut it to the right length so that it'll look all nice

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,320
and be the right length and then I'm going to slip the top halves of the

20
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:37,240
compression fittings onto the tubing put the tubing on the barbs and then screw

21
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:42,720
in the compression fittings that was it so now I have taken

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,320
out the quick disconnects taken out the extra tubing and installed the

23
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:53,960
compression fittings and tubing on my card now if I was diligent I would have

24
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:57,719
leak tested this before powering it on but I'm just going to power it on CU I'm

25
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:03,039
pretty sure I did everything right I've done this a few times after all

26
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,679
mind you that kind of overconfidence is what can get you burned so don't do that

27
00:02:06,039 --> 00:02:14,080
do as I say not as I do right now the process that I'm uh working on is called

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:19,680
bleeding the loop so that is to say that I am uh trying to get all the bubbles

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:24,640
out so I'm turning it on at the back oh I turned it off in the back a cat go

30
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:28,599
away um so I'm turning it on at the back

31
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:30,400
starting up the system waiting for

32
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:36,840
the well for the system to start properly

33
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,280
first okay so I'm waiting for the res to

34
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,480
empty and then I'm refilling it looks like that was my last cycle so after

35
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:46,280
that you can see there's still some bubbles left and that's going to last

36
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:49,800
for a while one of the ways that you can get rid of the bubbles quicker is you

37
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:55,959
can vary the speed of your pump to kind of try to dislodge them you can give the

38
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,159
system a little shake that can help and

39
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:00,959
um those are probably the two main techniques I mean yeah you can take your

40
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Tower and you can can like move it around but that's a lot of hassle so

41
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,319
anyway at this point the loop is filled um other than leaving out the

42
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:13,680
last air bubbles and that's what it looks like so I'll do a quick tour of

43
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,200
the finished system now that I'm finally done my upgrade that took forever
