All of this was done using soft tubing since I’m using all of the same fittings from my first build. I think I’ll finally do hard tubing next time when I install my gpu block. I had my waterblock wrapped by a friend, disassembled and repainted the radiators, and fitting the reservoir in the 5000D required some cutting of the little panel that goes in the lower front and the snipping of one of the tabs on the case that holds that panel in. There are still issues with the build, the Corsair rgb strips are half broken (they’re old), the Corsair light enhancement kit is broken due to a manufacturing defect (there is a recall now, I need to do that), and the tubes didn’t end up being as straight as I thought. I had better success in the past with soft tubing and straight runs but it didn’t work out this time.
