PC Watercooling Guide - How to Bend and Install Hardline Tubing

- Working with hard tubing is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of custom PC building. But honestly, it's a lot easier than you might imagine once you get the hang of it, and the results are AWESOME!
In today's video, we complete the build of our "Ultimate Gaming PC" by installing the PETG Hard Tubing, and perform a dry leak test to make sure everything is OK before we fill with coolant.
This video includes clear instructions to make doing your own hard tubing job much easier.
While not necessary, I use and recommend the Thermaltake Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit to make working with hard lines much easier and greatly reduce the risk of leaks due to bad connections.

Just wanted to say you’re doing a great job with all these videos! Love the channel, great to watch. Thanks for sharing it all.
Thanks very much :)
Looking good mate.Cant wait to see the final product 👌
I'm planning my first build, and honestly the detail in your guide (soapy water in fittings, dont bend too close to plugging end, 1200 grit sandpaper for smooth finish) are just some of the numerous tips I've learned, this video is amazing. Thanks so much for your help!
ok at first I thought you were crazy... but now I think I need to build one... but I want FPGA a couple! good job bro very nice.. keep up the good work!
Primochill sells bits that attach to a drill to burr out the inside of tubing... highly recommended. Big time saver... can even be used to shave down a bit of length quickly.
EK just came out with a dry leak tester. Yours is a great idea.
Awesome video. Its helping us fix many mistakes with our first custom loop
Thank you for the video, great tutorial on bending! Starting my first custom loop.
Looking awesome,Love that case.
Looking good dood. Same Res and pump as me :)
Need to show how install the fitting!!!
wow, watch every part of the series, really like these video's, Almost want me to make the same system, really worked out very very nice.
Thanks Jerry.
Great video mate. Do you know what the song names are? I appreciate that you've listed the artist name, I guess I'm mostly interested in the third song.
All the best
I have a 7900x liquid-cooled, but I installed a Chigo 1200btu above it to keep it cool.. so yeah I'm crazy also
I noticed F1 tracks painted on the wall . 🏎
Excellent video
well you make me 100% certain to go aio....to much for me but maybe soft tubing would suit me better
Soft tubing is a lot easier but you still have to do maintenance. AIO does just fine for the majority of people.
thanks for sharing your technique. Can you add where you bought you syringe from. Make it an affiliate link and ill grab one. Great idea for testing.
What is the part number for the digital temperature readout on the cooling system. what is the redesign and changes to the quantities of fittings?
stunning work!
I also noticed you are using PETG tubing. Fun fact, and something I never heard even after watching 100 how-to water cool your PC videos.... PETG tubing is water soluble. Well a better description would be "water vapor soluble". The first time I put my insane GPU loop together I used PETG. It came out looking beautiful and PETG is so easy to work with. However, I soon discovered I had to add as much as 4 oz. of water a day. WTF right? Where is all my water disappearing to? I had zero leaks. I was baffled until I did some deep web surfing. I looked into how PETG was made and that's where I discovered that evaporated water can pass right through the walls of PETG tubing. Now my water loss is extreme because my loop uses over 40 oz of water, but make no mistake all PC PETG water loops will lose water right out the sides of the tubing. Yes, I know it sounds like I'm nuts, but if you check it out and make note of how often and how much water your adding to your system, you'll discover I'm right. I haven't lost a drop after going to hard brass.
what kind of rigid tubes and raccords should i buy from thermaltake?
Awesome thanks mate!!
I got a dk05f and im hurting my arms to push in the hard tubes xD
No issue with soapy water in the fittings and on the tube when inserting causing it to be more leak prone or pop out?
Hi, can you explain how to measure pipe bending?
What if your run is not quite straight; can it be just slightly off, and not leak?
I just got the same case and I'm looking to get the same vertical GPU mount that you used. Would you be able to link the one that you used? Thanks in advance and really like your builds. Keep up the good work
Sure thing. Here you go :) amzn.to/2MS6Us8
@@boostedmedia thanks for everything. With your help and tutorial I was able to complete my build and I'm extremely satisfied with the result. I couldn't have done it without your guidance and times did seem extremely difficult at times but I would keep referring back to your video to try to come up with solutions to my problem. On top of that I had to use my 480mm rad from a previous board on top of the case because I didnt want to waste it or sell it. Did the best I could with it over hanging off the back edge of the case. I would send you a link to see my finished work but I'm not sure if your ok with it here. Thank you very much for inspiring others like myself to keep building. Keep up the good work
Hi boosted, I’m about to do my first ever hand line tubing and I was wondering when when putting soapy water around the end of the tubes and the fittings if that affects when putting my pre mix coolant? Does have a very small amount of soap water causes anything to the coolant at all? Asking just to be sure lol
What is the budget of this build?
A touch over $7000AUD.
Boosted Media ty
way back when in the WC world, 90 degree angles = worst thing you could do, restricts water flow by up to 50%. Is this not the case any more with the hard tubing or something?
With hardlines when done properly they are mandrel bent so the internal diameter remains the same and thus has no impact on flow.
Are the compression fittings suppose to screw all the way down? I have the Bitspower advanced ones and they only screw about half way down. It's pretty tight but idk, seems weird. In this video I see they go all they way down when tightening. Any advice please?
I think there are different lengths and depths to fitting threads and fitting inserts on radiators and such. Are the Bits Advanced known for having longer threads? Sounds like that might be it
How do you keep the rings from scratching the petg? I have a really hard time keeping the tubes from getting scratched when i install the rings over the tubes for the final fitting
It does happen from time to time. You can wrap some masking tape around the tube u til it’s clamped down to protect it if it worries you.
so cool ! :D
This is a long shot but does anyone know of a way to increase vram through usb 3.0? I want to run Forza Motorsport 7 through my laptop but I need another gb of vram. Anyone know?
How tf do you measure them so well?!?!?!
What size tubing did you use? 12mm or 16mm
This was 16mm
What size tubing is this
The 4 dislikes are people who prefer soft tubing
This thing is Sim Racing PC Porn. About the water pump being the lowest part of the loop. In my case the pump is the highest part of my loop. Done this way makes my PC a breaze to fill. I just open a port at the top of the 700ml Res that's mounted on the back of my case. I also remove a plug on top of my 200ml Pump/Res Combo to release trapped air while I fill. I can then start pouring water in the top of my 700ml Res and fill almost the hole loop without starting the pump. My System uses over 40 oz. of water and most of it goes in on the first pour. This also cuts down on the air mixed into the water.
gutdammit another guy who didnt show us the moneyshot. curses infeidel
Pity that you totally ignored showing How to measure where a bend should go on a tube
You need to go to the doctor to check your pain levels because that thing is hot has without globes.
Dude why do all your videos look out of focus? almost like they are upscaled from 240p
No idea. They look fine for me? There was one shot in this video on the first pipe bend that was slightly out but I couldn’t really go back and reshoot it.
Boosted Media they look fine on my phone, on my pc they are all out of focus, only your videos are this way...
that pressure test is invalid :D :D :D
Why?
That pc is really extra im scared
