Welp major malfunction.... right as i was placing the paper towels around other fittings the main output of the pumps blew off the gpu block and pumped atleast 1.5 leters of water before i could get to the power switch powering just the pumps. But dont worry the vast majorty of the water was pumped out of the case as i was there to divert the pipe as you'll see below.

Now i'll dry everything really good tonight, have a fan on the case, and try again tomorrow.
Edit: on second thought, i think i'll change that connection such that it will use the clear flex tubing. that is the one spot that has the highest pressure and the soft tubing fittings hold much better under pressure than the compression fittings for hard tubing. But i will have to wait till tuesday for 2 more fittings :/
