Its looking like EK will not rma my two new blocks in time for the start of the challenge but i will be folding at my registered amount as soon as i get the replacements installed. All my other mods will be done by the end of this weekend, i hope.

Welp, time for todays update. i now have the mobo cables and all other parts wired, sleeved, and cables managed. Only wiring left to do is the leds on the gpu blocks, i have more on order, and all the 8pin gpu cables still need to be resleeved. Now when i say all other parts i mean everthing is sleeved. From the water pumps to the custom extentions on the cablemod led strips. This is actually kinda fun custom making every single wire in the case. though its extremely time consuming, good thing i have lots of it right now.

You're getting pretty good with the sleeving Chris. I do like the LED harness. What does it plug into\powers it?
Do you know what happened to your blocks? I wasn't sure where the copper was showing, what caused it?
I don't think you posted about it. Glad you didn't have any hardware damage.

Ek said that the one block was flaking, but not in chunks. Just seemed to me like it desolved away. I didnt feel i pic was needed for that issue has been taken care of. The led harness is powered just like the cablemod led stip i gifed earlier. But using the second fan controller so i can change the lvls independintly of each other.

Today sucked... even though i spent the vast majority of the day sleeving these gpu cables i still couldnt finish them. But once these are done all i'll have left to do is the led harness for the gpu block, when the shipment arrives thats is. After that and waiting on the rma water block i will be back up and running and this time i believe i'll actually be "finished" with this build.

Now my last daily update. Finished the hard part of all the gpu power cables now i just need to put the ends to the power supply on and all the electrical is done! So tonight is the last night of electrical stuff till i am waiting for the rma to get to me so i can then replace the gpu blocks and replumb the whole system and finish this endless build.  And yes that is rust you see on the gpu block screws, a minor problem/proof of the explosive leak.

I really thought that you would go with Two Power Cables Per Graphics Card!

Lol, i literally can not do that as there are only 9 slots on the 1600W power supply for gpu power. Then i also need a 6 pin to the mobo, so i really only get 8 slots. This way is more uniform and less cable clutter. ;) p.s. they are a pain in the butt to make though.

True, Tthat was why I went with two power supplies.

Bah, im only pulling 990W from the wall. Got plenty of headroom on the 1600W power supply.

I see, well i really dont care for those things. Seem like a waste of money to me, if all you are doing is delaying an outage by 10 minutes. Folding already has checkpoints so its not like an improper shutdown will terminate your current work unit. Unless you are doing other truely sensitive tasks on that machine.

I use UPS's on 4 of my folding machines. Also set the checkpoint time to 3mins, the minimum.. Everyone has their own way of doing things. A user power down is a lot better than a power lost forced shutdown!!! Each to their own..

Well my last and current Server just cost me $9000.00 so paying $300 for a UPS to provide Clean Power and protection is more then worth it. The Checkpoint on the Folding Task is not even a thought in my mind, it is the protection of Hardware. We seem to have a lot of 2 and 3 Minute Power Outages and sometimes their are 3 or 4 of them in a row. And Power On Power OFF and repeat and repeat is not a good thing for any Computer or any other Electronic Device.

Hazzah! Dhl confirmation of thursday delivery on rma parts meaning this pc will be running again possibly thursday night or Friday, if delays happen.

Funny thing is though its all completely back together and i could fill the loop with water and test it i cant. i now have to take it all apart so i can paint the rusty screws, remove the two defective gpu blocks so i can replace them tomorrow, and i have to finish the led harness on the gpu's when the leds also arrive tomorrow.  Oh and i need to record tomorrow so i can make that final completed pc video.

I did HVAC and some plumbing for many years, water boilers, steam, Nat gas gas pipe, refrigerant piping and so on.
One of the best ways to test for leaks before we would put in water or refrigerant is test with air pressure. Nitrogen is best but air is good too. (Just not in refrigerant pipe)
A small system like a computer would be easy to do with a small air compressor or a bicycle pump, a fitting and a gauge.
Could even do it with a hand held vacuum pump like a brake bleeder pump and a gauge. If it holds pressure or holds a vacuum it should hold water.
Easier to fix a leak with out having to drain, fix, refill, test, drain, fix, refill........

Very true, though in my case i didnt get a leak i got a complete fitting failure, basically an explosion, that blew water into the case. If i had the air pressure equipment i would go that route to leak test. Cuz if it can hold air molecules it can hold the much denser water.

Think the warm CPU block made the tube soft and it distorted. Maybe that cause it to not hold?
What are you doing differently this time if anything?

I think Chris went back to the old tried and true soft tubing in most places, if not all. I would as well if I had that happen.

Awesome, the time lapse video has been posted on EVGA's Facebook page!
as for the question it blew before the CPU block and all the PETG tubing had been deformed at the ends. if you look at the last pic i posted you'll see that i have moved to soft tubing for mostly all runs, except the long run from radiator 1 to radiator 2.

Just use distilled water and power on only the Pump have no power going to the MB and you can even pull the MB Battery. Bleed out the Air Bubbles and allow the pressure to build and run over night with the case lay down MB facing down that is. Rinse and repeat with the normal coolant that you are going to end up with or using.
