![]() ![]() Finished of the last millimeter with a rounded file to get a snug fit. Went like a charm, so moved on to drill with the larger drill in the correct dimension for the pass throughs. Quick job with a small drill to ensure I didn’t brake the acrylic floor base or tear my 3M di-noc carbon vinyl. Only time will tell if that was the right call □ ![]() I decided that I wanted to enter the motherboard and GPU from the front top making the floor pass through inside right. With the HardWareLabs 420 X-flow radiator in the top, I needed to make a decision about where I wanted the tubing to go. Needed both center placement, but still ensure that I would have enough room between the EKWB D5 pump, Aqualis XT 880ml reservoir and my new Alphacool pass throughs. I took measurements for where to place the pass throughs. I went with two (ordered four just to be safe) black Alphacool pass throughs and combined that with an insane amount of different lengths of Alphacool extensions. ![]() That was how long my indecisiveness combined with shipping times actually took. In actual time I actually wrote the above part of the update 3 weeks earlier. To say the least I was worried but a problem to solve is a solution to be found. I will have to go in a S-shape from the outlet of the radiator into the Alphacool pass through. Started to calculate and check an idea of going full fitting and extension hook up below the floor. With pass throughs I need to add fittings from below in a very tight room without moving the hard tubes out of their fittings. My main thoughts was to stay 100% true to my Alphacool fittings plan and add some Alphacool pass through fittings.Īlphacool pass throughs looks a lot cleaner than just a whole, in my opinion, but I was worried about clearance. I had a dilemma as this was my first loop. When you think if a custom hard tube water loop and a gaming PC you think if clean lines, order and well planned loop. ![]()
