Are they 12 and 16 mm for a reason other than aesthetics ?

Its one loop running, correct ?

Yes Dude. One loop but like 2 rads . 4x142(mora) +3x142(mora)
3 rads for MB+ CPU and 4 rads for Evga 680 Classified Hydrocopper...

I have worked enougf with 12mm OD acrylic and copper...
I wanted to try 16 mm OD acrylic. 16mm copper is coming soon.

I was worried it'd be difficult to balance the pressure between each section in parallel, but I suppose that's solved by going serial. Very interested in the pump setup.

I've wanted to do a Mac Pro G5 mod like this, but mine would turn out ugly and filled with zip-ties. Wish there was a way to reuse the G5's water cooler unit.

UPDATE 06.02.2015

I can not decide whether use of pastel or transparent fluids.

I think this is pastel fluid.

I wantt to achieve this in blueish green

With transparent fluids and dyes can ı mix and achieve Ceruluian blue

but it not very easy to achieve cerulian with pastel fluids and dyes…

I need to be patient…

During the color experiments , ı mounted pump-rez combination an XSPC D5 Photon Reservoir/Pump combo

And made connection between bıtspower case through hole fitting and reservoir

Edaddor · Aug 23, 2015

arg-ist out of all the G5 mods I've seen I like yours the best. Looks awesome!
I just started on my own G5 project and am debating how to go about changing the back panel to fit my mobo. Do you remember how much/easy it was to get a new piece cut with a water jet? (any useful info is greatly appreciated)

Thank you!
