00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:07.319
everyone keeps asking me for a system water cooling guide and the reality of

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

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:17.160
sort of more random blogging about my my system water cooling upgrades whenever I

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

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:24.920
using quick disconnects because I was temporarily running a CPU only Loop

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

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

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.000
taking my quick disconnects and uh

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

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.920
sure that they're positioned over the bucket and then basically removing both

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

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

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

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

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:12.920
the res as necessary okay so I've swapped out the old graphics card and

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:19.000
swapped in the new graphics card put in my power connectors put in my screws so

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

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

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

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:37.240
compression fittings onto the tubing put the tubing on the barbs and then screw

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:42.720
in the compression fittings that was it so now I have taken

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:48.320
out the quick disconnects taken out the extra tubing and installed the

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:53.960
compression fittings and tubing on my card now if I was diligent I would have

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

00:01:55.240 --> 00:02:03.039
pretty sure I did everything right I've done this a few times after all

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

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

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

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

00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:28.599
away um so I'm turning it on at the back

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.400
starting up the system waiting for

00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:36.840
the well for the system to start properly

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:39.280
first okay so I'm waiting for the res to

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.480
empty and then I'm refilling it looks like that was my last cycle so after

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:46.280
that you can see there's still some bubbles left and that's going to last

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

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

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:58.159
system a little shake that can help and

00:02:55.959 --> 00:03:00.959
um those are probably the two main techniques I mean yeah you can take your

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

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:10.319
anyway at this point the loop is filled um other than leaving out the

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

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:17.200
the finished system now that I'm finally done my upgrade that took forever
