Ok,first hitch of the day,looking at the clearance of the PSU to the AMS rad and have discovered they wont fit. 146mm wide rad=PITA!

So the Dual psu extender is required after all.

Also,the bloody 24 pin is too short,24 pin extender GO!
 
My initial thought when I saw the sleeve was "woah that's noticeable", followed shortly by "is it an enermax?" then "Oh it's Be Quiet"
 
Today i had a look at the bending required,no sniggering at the back please.

You may have been wondering what the red tape was for? it is the 0 line for the bend,i can work out the length required to get 2 90 bends to meet to set out dimensions

To get this..

Got some push fit fittings to make the test fitting.

I may even keep using these fittings,they look ok and are 1/3rd the price of the koolance fittings.

Downside is i dont trust push fit fully,not like a proper compression fitting.

The tails have not been cut yet,i want the piping at the same level. So,i need to get the Ram in and see what i can chop off...
 
Looking good so far mate, Something different from standard watercooling tubing

Looking good man. Oh by the way, push fit fittings are much safer than compression fittings, I have never trusted and will never trust compression fittings. The only true compression fittings that work are ones that use olives that crush after use, so you can't use them again. Push fit FTW! What size pipe is that 10mm? Also, where did you get the push fit from? I'm looking for 13mm push fit, but I can't get them in 1/4" only 1/2".

Im a plumber by trade,push fit is not the best at mains pressure,but at this pressure i think they will be ok.

The Koolarse fittings are traditional compressions with one use olives,my issue with those is the amount of pressure to tighten will ruin the finish of the fitting.
 
At PC watercooling pressure, push fittings are fine and IMO the best bet, I meant

Laing pumps only shift 1.5 bar so they wont be a problem.
