    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Next steps - playing around with a few different software tools - no longer have the bloated Asus armoury crate, or AI suite - so looking at using Aquasuite to do the fans, pump, and sensor panel controls. Also going to give OpenRGB a shot to play around with the LEDs, and see what I can do with...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Overall, from a build perspective - I love how this case (and the components) come together. Again with the case being one of the central components, it does make the build a lot easier, especially when it comes to cable runs and tube runs. What doesn't come through quite as well though (and...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    And here's a shot in the daytime where the (very subdued) colours of the build, which really is just black and silver / stainless are a little more obvious...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    So here are the first two shots of the case filled, and with me playing just a bit with the integrated LEDs..One thing I have noticed, and I will talk about this later, most of the LED's are at the back, and not having LEDs as part of the MOBO or GPU block means the lighting isn't as effective...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Now some last steps before filling (okay this is a bit out of order but meh) - anyway, the mobo actually came with a pressure tester, so kind've cool to try it. Turns out I didn't need it (as in all the connections were solid) but better safe then sorry! And then as part of the filling...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    These are the other two main cable runs: Now honestly, I am still freaked out about the 4090 power cable. Talking with the case designer, he ensured me that the case is specced to handle this current, and of course, I am sure everyone has heard about the myriad of troubles (some / a lot?) of...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Now on to a few other perks of this case - the integrated power board means running cables is a lot easier - short hops from the PSU to the case, then short hops from the case to the MOBO. Everything is pretty clean except for this one bit - (so I might as well get it out of the way so you will...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    And here's another slightly out of focus view of the very tight fit, but overall again keeps things pretty neat and tidy...(oh yea and not so subtle shout-out there for my favourite band!!)

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Now, in the manual for this case, it actually shows the top rad with the I/O on the left side - so you would go CPU out to Res in, Res out to case in. I hummed and hawwed over this a few times, and in addition to shoe-horning in a 420 rad (when it is only specced for a 360 - Note the Specter 4...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Okay, time to wrap up chapter 1 of this build - the last pieces of glass came in, and sadly, Cansci did not go with my request to not make the second bent piece (that they messed up), and instead give me one new short straight piece (so LSS I still have one 43mm piece of PETG that I need to...

    Completed 12900KS Implant (She Lives)

    Woot! Go contact frames!! I think they look really cool, and granted, they are going to get covered up pretty quick so you will never see them again. And congrats on surviving the de-lidding! I am always surprised how resilient this hardware is to the kind of abuse we put it through.

    Completed 12900KS Implant (She Lives)

    You're lucky - the snowstorm yesterday meant my last piece of glass tubing did not get delivered from Surrey. Hopefully I will get it today?!?

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Ahhh - its static...The only thing I could've thought of was friction from imperfections (at the micro level) of the plastic, but never realized static could be an issue (albeit as you mentioned, in my case a very small one). Learn something new every day!

    Should a pump make more noise when it is run dry?

    Yea, I literally ran it for like 2 seconds, just to make sure the power connection worked.

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Its funny - I start freaking out when my coolant hits 35C (usually time to turn on the AC) - never pushed it past that, again partially from what I heard about PETG (possibly) becoming softer...Not sure why I never used acrylic - I think I did for my very first build and was just not patient...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Why would flow rates be better in glass? Is it because (theoretically, the inside of the tube is smoother meaning less to snag / slow down the water particles?

    Should a pump make more noise when it is run dry?

    I know, you should never run your pumps dry. I am just quickly checking my wiring as I am doing the final lock downs of cabling, so quickly checked the pump to make sure the power run was good. For the 2 seconds that the pump was running though, it was a lot noisier then I expected. Just...

    Work in progress New Build - "Luvafair"

    Not sure if this will turn out as an effective example to compare PETG tubes that I make, vs the pros using the glass. And noting that I am at an intermediate level (I think) for tube bending, but they still aren't that great. I can see distortions on my bends, even though I am using the...
