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.

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..

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.

Oh i already did the dry run to make sure everything booted into the bios. But now i am afraid to turn the pc on again untill i can take a look at the psu. I heard a pop after the first boot cycle as the bios was resetting and i killed the power. I smell nothing and dont see anything obviously wrong so till i can take it out, check it, and make sure its all good i am still be offline.

Found it! Not a power supply problem just a faulty wiring on one of my fan controllers. So now i only have 1 controller. And now lets let this thing boot!

well i am in windows and so far so good but i only see 4 of the 5 GPU's for some reason... will have to figure out why and address it. though i have the 4 GPU's running and folding stable. as for the fan controller it was a Silverstone CPF04 1-to-8 PWM Fan Hub. but i can buy a replacement capacitor for it and it'll work just fine again. i had the power to it reversed when i changed its sata connector. EDIT: just to figure out the issue with the missing GPU i will have to completely take apart my system again... so screw it im running 4 GPUs with 5 slotted. just disable the slot with the mobo switch and unplugged it.

 OMG! its been too long since i had all five of these running. i just kept putting off taking the system apart to find out why GPU#3 was never working expecting it to be some sort of hardware failure. after all was said and done the problem was simply a poorly seated GPU.... DOH! >. <
