I was thinking last night that with some garden hose and worm clamps this could have been finished two days ago...
Yeah, I did a lot of research on the stuff and I could find no negative feedback. It's been on the market for over a decade so I decided the risk was fairly low. Rated to 500 psi so it must be pretty stout. Crosses fingers...
Ohhhhh I've dreamed of doing this! I LOVE the look of copper so this has me practically drooling lolNow I get to take it all back apart to re-polish and clear coat.

If you decide to rebuild the loop, consider long radius 90's. Reduces loop pressure drop over a short radius 90 & looks kinda cool (IMHO).
Yes, standard box store copper tubing and fittings. This is what I used... https://www.ebay.com/itm/2333510168...d0LDO6_bOHa8lLl8DinIy_fidB_C1oERoCrOcQAvD_BwE Rated for up to 500 psi.
Yes, they do. There is also a compression variety out there with distinctive ridges that I really liked the looks of...could probably solder or glue them as well. https://www.ferguson.com/product/ni...s-coupling-(less-stop)-npc601ldd/3033922.htmlIf you decide to rebuild the loop, consider long radius 90's.

You got me thinking about those fittings. I wonder how much pressure those internal o-rings would hold without any compression or glue? I have not had one in hand to judge the fit, but we are relying on simple o-rings on our termination fittings already and they don't leak. How easy and adjustable could a loop be if it actually worked?
Oof. Man there are some old people here.
I have seen that cooler before its fanless right?This actually my second build with the MSI Project Zero motherboard. Below is a pic of my daily driver with a 8700G which is semi-passively cooled with a Noctua P1. I will likely never build another pc that doesn't take advantage of back connector motherboards...I just hate all those janky looking cables. Hoping one day integrated graphics get good enough to do away with the fugly gpu in the game rig as well.

Yes, fanless.
