You got some bad stress points where the tubing goes into the compressions.

Tubing is too long at a few places causing tit.

The one from the cpu to the gpu needs to be shortened and same goes to the pump, you might want to do this quickly before anything happens.

so I cant have my tube coil like that even tho I kinda like the look? sorry ask question even tho I put it together kind of a hands on person learn from doing and make mistake.

so my bad stress point will be where my video card goes to the CPU and the pump?

Any thing else that look wrong?

You didn't fail. You just got to tweak it a little...

I bought some 90 deg fitting rotational hope that will help with some of the bad stress points just hate ordering part because got buy them from the U.S. ( the company are great just the delivery companies are horrible.) It's really the worst part of water cooling for Canadians or at less for me.

may i suggest a 90' from the pump outlet on the left in the picture? Maybe rotate the pump slightly so the outlet is closer to the grommet hole, and put the 90' going straight up

the joint for the gpu to cpu, maybe a 45' fitting would work for you? or one of the fittings that is 90' but is in 3 sections to allow you to slightly change the direction of it and not do an entire 90'?

hope this helps

kdsx, why don't you order from DazMode? They're based in Canada. Another option is NCIX, but their selection is more limited.

When I was first building my loop they didn't have the part I wanted and didn't know the company to well, so I kinda forgot about them well for dazmode that is. NCIX has really nothing for water cooling. But I will look into dazmode more for next time I need order parts. Thanks for the links tho.
