So tired...
Before moving onto the leak test, I figured it was smart to set up the power supply, cables and all to 1. make sure it fit with the radiator and 2. because I need the motherboard power cable.
Anyone wanna see the other side?
It's kinda scary at the moment.
But the reason I need the motherboard power cable is because the power supply will not turn on without a signal from it. Luckily there's a trick to bridge the "Power On" line with the "Ground" line, which basically turns it on.
One does this in order to get power to the pump, without sending a current through any other component, allowing the leak test to, well, leak, without any damage to the system.
This is what will be going inside my loop. A good chunk of that jug of distilled water, a couple or a few drops of biocide, and a silver kill coil. Most go with one or the other, but they're both cheap so I figured "Why not?" because the internet said nothing bad could come of it.
It looks a lot weirder in person.
Paper towels laid in place to collect any water and show me if there's a leak. Which there was, and why I am up so late (it's 4am here). I believe the screw threads in the upper screw hole of the CPU block was tight, because I tightened it and believed it was in, but it wasn't apparently. I spent three hours trying to slowly tighten it until it finally stopped this last time. I really hope it's done, and not just slowed down.
Time to get some sleep until this thing goes off. Saturday morning I hope to boot this thing up.
