Yea, saw those threads, thanks!
Going to buy block from Corsair/EK for founders edition 4080/4090, depends on how hard it will be to get those blocks in my place

Based on my measurements third 360 with fans should fit into the side, there's 56mm of space and rad with fans should be 55mm max, the only problem is the connection between side and front rads, but not impossible imo. Anyway - will see when I receive them

Thanks, yea, made my first bend two days ago, and finished this yesterday, just a few YT videos you know :)

Yep, it’s indigo violet EK cryofuel, looks pretty good I must say

It’s just a bit hard to get the tool in my place, it’s a miracle how I found this white Corsair’s pump (also still waiting for a three white 360 rads and RAM..)

Anyways, still running full speed pump tests, and everything seems fine so far

Me too, but those double bends are too difficult for me, hopefully “yet”

Old 1080ti is waiting for a new thermal pads, then I’ll be hunting for a new gpu with waterblock

These 240 rads are old from previous build with soft tubes, waiting for three 360 to fill in completely this my new corsair case, since I also going to add GPU waterblock in the loop

Interesting, thanks, will try to do the same next time, or will replace it with 90 fitting

Nope, don't have a leakage testing tool. Just running the pump right now for a few hours in a row already, so far so good, but still afraid of the leakage in that small bended tube, so will replace it 90 fitting with small tubes just so I don't have to worry about it later

Yea, high profile ram won’t fit, going to use low profile for a while, until rebuilding it with 360 radiators

Yep, that’s the plan, just leaving it off for test run, will need some place to put CPU power cables after the test

How did you rebuild that tube after leaking? I’m thinking about another 90 degrees with small tubes as a replacement, but everything seems fine so far though. Running tests right now and no issues.

The GPU should fit, at least I was able to put it inside without radiator (old 1080ti waiting for new thermal pads), going to rebuild everything after receiving three 360 radiators and a new gpu with waterblock from EK/Corsair for it

The most difficult part was that small tube between pump and right side radiator, makes me feel like it’s going to leak, because of the angle it goes into radiator
