New project Mountain Mods Ascension

Hello:
16€ for the bending kit seems like a rip-off to me. If you fill the tube with sand you get the same result, and it's easier to remove. At least that's how I did it.
To cut the tube with a disc very slowly or with a metal saw and that's it.
What they say in the video is to be careful not to give it too much heat because depending on the type of acrylic you can form bubbles and crystallize and break more easily. If it's the extrusion type (XT) it forms bubbles much more easily and with casting unless you overdo it it will never form them. -
Hello, as you know, I have this project on hold due to lack of material, if nothing happens by the end of next week or the beginning of the other, I hope to receive some orders.
Thanks to Gustavo from Pcrelic, he has made it easier for me to bend the acrylic tubes. First, we need the right tools for it, which includes a saw, sandpaper and silicone cord 10x12mm, hot air gun. We have to apply oil to make it slide, so we can take them out after bending the tube.
A video from PrimoChilll where they teach us how to do it:

Best regards.
Don't tell me, that you're going to dare with rigid tubes….......!! I love those rls, they are a real blast.......!!
VEnga ve subiendo cositas..... ;).

16€ for the bending kit seems like a rip-off to me. If you fill the tube with sand, you get the same result, and it's easier to remove. At least that's how I did it.
To cut the tube, use a circular saw very slowly or a metal saw and that's it.

I agree with you that this tool is not cheap at all. The truth is that I have never worked with this type of "acrylic" tubes, I have done it with PVC tubes, and I have bent quite a few. I am thinking of making a silicone tube myself, and buying the EK Kit, since for me they are tools that you get the most out of whenever you use them. I have been thinking about how to manufacture it myself, I think it is very easy, we take a copper tube with an inner diameter of 10mm, pour oil or some type of additive, fill it with silicone or silicone sealant, wait for it to dry and pull. The truth is that the sand method, that's how I thought of doing it, but I think it will be worse when working or bending it. Anyway, I have ordered extra tube to break quite a bit, this is common when one doesn't know how to do something ;D.Don't tell me, that you are going to dare with rigid tubes….......!! I love those rls, they are a real blast.......!!

I have been convinced by that ;D, I wasn't too sure, but seeing the mods that are out there with that tube who's to say that I can't….
For now I am preparing all the necessary material, but every day I think something different so it's going to be a bit difficult to have all the material soon, and besides, not everything is available that one needs, but I hope that at least this wait will have its result and you all like it.
I am looking to assemble the Aquaero6, which according to our friend Gustavo, he confirms that by the middle of next month he will have it in store. To this Aquaero6 I am going to connect 4 temp probes, 2 flow meters, 3 D5 water pumps, 26 FAN and RGB LED control.
The idea is to have everything controlled and know at all times how our RL is working. I have never had a team of these characteristics, I have always worked in manual mode, both the pumps and the fans.
For now, I will let you know if I have any new news.Best regards.

Today I received a large amount of Bistpower material, but as every day I think something different I will have to buy more…..
Tomorrow I will upload some pictures.
Best regards.

I owe you some stuff XD. Here are most of the Bitspower Fitting. I ordered 37 Multi Link 1/4, 2 1/4 caps, 7 multi adapters 1/4, 4 rotary elbows 90º 1/4, 2 3-way blocks 1/4, 2 temperature sensors and 70 UV blue seals. For now, this is most of what I need, but I still need 2 3-way blocks, 2 temp probes and 2 Multi Link Sli.
I also got myself 1 Mountain Mods bay cover and 3 120mm interior grilles from Mountain.
Some pictures of all the Bitspower fittings:

I checked the grilles more to have them just in case I might need them in the future, or if I change my mind at the last moment and decide to mount them.
Next week I hope another order arrives, which will include the radiators and the acrylic tube.Best regards.

Hello,
I have another truckload of Fittings, probes, grilles, and fans :facepalm: I'll leave you a preview of what's on the way.More Bitspower temperature probes, specifically I'm missing 2 to work the R.L with the Aquaero, I'm still thinking about whether to get the "5" or "6", most likely I'll get the 5, because there's stock and the 6 still lacks to have it on any page. What I want to do with the probes is to place 2 per circuit, I would place one at the entrance and the second at the exit, controlled with the flow meter. The function would be to work by dissipated power in watts of heat.
The grilles, I went for a traditional black grille model:
A couple of black switches with blue LEDs, the idea I have about the lighting is as follows:
I want to control the RGB LED channel with the aquaero, on the occasions that it suits to give color to the case. With the switches I'm going to put a black LED for the UV liquid, and the other for a white LED. I would use the second one with the concept of needing light to see inside the case.
The fans, I was undecided whether they should have LEDs or not, whether to get them transparent or colored. The final result has been these: Blacknoise Blue 2000 rpm:
I'm going to light them with LEDs, I still have this a bit stuck, I don't know if to put RGB LEDs, or blue…...I'll have the radiators and the tops soon.
I'll keep updating as I go.
Regards.

Gustavo from Pcrelic just sent me some photos. He shows us the EK double and single top. The double top comes with its own bench to place the pumps in a vertical position. The single one doesn't come with a bench, but Pcrelic has already arranged for me to get one for home.
According to what he tells me in the email, I won't have all the material for next week, but soon it will be here.Pcrelic EK D5- DOUBLE Top Bench
From here I send a big hug to Gustavo for his great work.
Regards.

Very cool, let's see how it's turning out, lately I see a lot of pcrelic sponsors XD if they pay I want one too :troll:

Haha we have a premium account with Pcrelic….. To be honest with you it's the second purchase I've made with them, but I can guarantee you, that in terms of liquid cooling advice and as a company they are the best for me.
Thank you very much Tecnho, I hope this October I have all the material I need and I can make a big breakthrough in the thread.
Best regards.

Damn man, stop with your mods because then I look at my case and I see nothing but a sad piece of plastic :alone:

Haha Obione, I'm a compulsive junkie, and this whole Mod thing is going to destroy me XD. Don't listen to me too much, because if you do you're going to end up like me <:(.

My God, it seems like you are a Noiseblocker distributor :ugly:

Mae mía, parece que seas un distribuidor de Noiseblocker :ugly:
He comprado la fabrica NB jajaja, mas quisiera ;D
Son una pasada estos NB, el color azul de las hélices es una pasada. Luego el cable de alimentación PWM viene enfundado de negro, esto no se si lo cambiaré. Me gustaría hacer los paneles de la caja desmontable, lo que haría sería conectar una línea de ventiladores a un conector de manera que desconecto el conector y quito el panel.
Como podéis ver en las imágenes, hay dos tipos de cajas diferentes de ventiladores. Bien resulta que donde los he comprado según página pone que son la Rev 3.0, pero vienen dos diferentes. A simple vista son iguales, pero no es así, unos consumen más que los otros. La Rev 3.0 tienen un Power Wat 4,8 y los otros NB tienen un Power Wat 2,64.
Otro factor que aún lo tengo parado, tengo que ver cómo lo hago si es que lo hago, es meterle iluminación a los Fan NB, en la ocasión que lo requiera, porque tener todo el rato iluminados con luz, molestaría para día a día.
Al final voy a tirar por el Aquaero6 que trae control PWM y 30Wat por canal. Estaba mirando la posibilidad de montar 2 Aquaero6 y poner uno de esclavo, pero no es posible con este con el "5" LT si es posible….. De esa manera me saldría más barato que comprar todos los PA2 necesarios.
Edito: Os tengo que contar que he recibido otro paquete pero hasta esta noche no podré abrirlo...... jajajjaaj ¿Qué será??'
Saludos.

I hope those NB's are not as good as the silent-X that I bought one day because they were wonderful, and that after three months they were broken.
Let's see what they brought you... -

Let's see what they brought you….Don't scare me, I hope not because after the fortune they cost me….... :muerto: I hope that at least they processed an RMA for you.
For now I won't be able to show you the last order that arrived. I'm a bit busy due to lack of time, until the end I won't be able to keep updating.
Best regards.

For the moment I won't be able to show you the last order that arrived. I'm a bit busy due to lack of time, until the end I won't be able to keep updating.

Wow, what material you're getting yourself............... :ugly::ugly: Of the highest quality.....
I'm still following, to see how this all ends. ;).
Best regards

Vaya material te estas agenciando…............ :ugly::ugly: De primerisima calidad.....
Sigo atento, a ver como termina todo esto. ;).
Un Saludo
Y que lo digas Jotole, entre la configuración de la caja y la R.L se me esta yendo de las manos.
Os dejo un pequeño avance, hasta mañana no podre subir todo lo que me llego de Pcrelic.
Me he decidido en adquirir los Backplates Coldzero Gtx Titan y el puente 3 Sli EVGA Horizontal.
Tenía dudas si comprar el Backplate o no, debido a la salida de las Nuevas AMD y me diera por cacharrear.
Imagen del Backplate Coldzero Gtx Titan claro negro; de estos he pedido 3 unidades para cada Gpu:

Sobre el puente, de momento voy aplicarle esta placa EVGA, hasta que me haga del dichoso puente SLI con Led:
!
Mañana actualizare con mas material.
Un saludo.
