Manta Build Log #3 - THE ELECTRIFYING CONCLUSION!

**A Journey of Perfection: The Build Log**

In this build log, we embark on a journey of perfection, where every detail is carefully considered to create a masterpiece. Our subject today is a complex system that requires precision and attention to detail. We'll explore the process of building this system, from the pump reservoir to the final touches.

The first step in creating this perfect system was to align the pump reservoir with the GPU and the rest of the case. It's essential to get it right, as even a slight misalignment can affect the overall performance of the system. One crucial aspect that was overlooked during the initial design phase was the angle of the fitting under the reservoir. By using washers, we were able to correct this issue, ensuring that the reservoir is now perfectly straight.

However, this modification had an unexpected consequence - it changed the height of the fitting slightly. To compensate for this, we had to trim one of the tubes to ensure that it was properly aligned with the rest of the system. This may seem like a minor detail, but it's essential to getting the system right.

Another challenge we faced was the length of the tube connecting the radiator to the splitter. The splitter was positioned slightly off-center due to the longer length of the tube. To correct this, we shortened the tube in the back, ensuring that the tubing and fitting were now parallel to each other. This minor adjustment made a significant difference in the overall appearance of the system.

The fluid used in this system is another aspect that requires attention to detail. We chose a new fluid that matches the sleeving and accents on the casing, creating a cohesive look. The blue color of the fluid provides an excellent contrast with the rest of the components, making it visually appealing. However, we were surprised by how much better the fluid looked when in use compared to its appearance in the bottle.

To take this system to the next level, we added UV reactive Mayhem drops to enhance the glow effect. We followed the instructions on the bottle, dropping one drop at a time and checking for satisfaction. While it was tempting to add all 20 drops at once, we were glad we decided against it, as the desired effect was achieved with just one or two drops.

The addition of the UV strip from Cable Mod has significantly enhanced the glow effect in this system. It's now more visible than ever, making this system truly unique and eye-catching. The combination of aquatuning and Mayhem drops creates a striking visual effect that sets this system apart from others.

Finally, we added some finishing touches to complete this build. We turned off the lights to showcase the system in its full glory. When the lights are out, the UV glow takes center stage, creating an otherworldly effect. This system truly is "freaking electric" and "deadly" - a combination of components that come together to create something truly special.

With this build complete, we're now eager to hear from our audience. What do you think of this system? Have any suggestions or ideas for future builds?

the man to build log I really need to start thinking of a good name for this PC because we are getting dangerously close to being done with it in fact if you guys have any name suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments below and I'll check them out uh but we're going to be doing a couple things today things that I mentioned I would be doing in the last build log so the first of which is we're going to drain the system we're going to drain the loop and replace the mayhem's or Aurora uh shampoo stuff with the aquatuning UV reactive now of course I could just drop some of these UV reactive drops into this the current die uh however I'm just not a huge fan as of the shampoo stuff I think the shampoo type Aurora fluid works really well with uh with larger reservoirs where you can really see the effect because it's kind of lost when you go in the individual tubes you don't really see it that much so I'm going to be swapping that out and then uh what's the other thing oh yes the uh pump here as uh as we noted is a little bit crooked it's a sagging just a bit actually doesn't look that bad right now I feel like the uh the little kickstand here the little tube kickstand I had before four kind of trained it a little bit but it's probably going to Sag back down a little bit so what I'm going to do and a lot of you guys made the suggestion and was brilliant just super simple yet effective is actually taking two washers which I have right here I've painted black with Sharpie taking two washers and putting them underneath the bottom two screws of this pump res bracket that's mounting the pump res to that radiator so I think that's just going to elevate it just ever so slightly so that it's then parallel with the GPU water block and I think that's going to look really nice however I'm going to have to uninstall pretty much all this stuff the radiator and the pump res in order to access that back screw right there cuz right now with the with the shitty the shitty allen wrench I just I can't I can't get back there my fingers are too fat fat finger problems so I'm going to have to undo all that it's going to be a process but I think it'll be worth it in the end by the way look at these cables look at these end sourced sleeved extensions they are beautiful guys if you want some uh some really nice work uh Joey does a fantastic job over at n sorst uh with with all of his hand sleeve stuff these are all hand sleeved none of that like Factory and they just look absolutely fantastic paracord sleeving thanks Joey these things look sick but uh the other thing that I was going to do is oh yeah install some of these UV strips because there's already a UV strip in the build but I think it could be just a little bit more vibrant I think I could use a bit more brightness in there and really just show off the UV reactive stuff including the fluid and the uh the the flow meter back there so I'm going to be installing one of these two this is uh I think this one might be bad I might have fried this one back in the day I'm going to see if it works and the last thing that I'm going to be doing today is actually redoing this run right here this run right here so uh the reason why is because the angle of this tube right here this part of the angle this part of the run I would like it to be a bit more parallel with this angle here you can see they're not quite matching this this angle needs to come down just to maybe 5 10 degrees like boop boop and then it'll be right parallel with that it'll just look a little bit nicer in the end I have two more uh tubes here two more of the 16 mm tubes so I have basically two more attempts and if I F both of those up then I'm probably going to have to stick with this run for now until I get some more tubing later but those are all the things that I'm going to be doing today in uh in this Vlog in this build log so um like I said it's going to be quite a process but I do think it's going to be worthwhile in the end and it should be fun as well so let's get started n a n and there she be ladies oh yes it uh it is complete for the most part for now and I'm liking it I'm loving it oh yeah all right so let's go over the things that I did first off the pump res is now more or less perfectly straight with the uh with the GPU and like the rest of the case it's it's it's flat now it's no more sag no more sag thank you to everyone all 50,000 of you who suggested to put the washers uh under here it actually did did make a great difference however one thing I overlooked is that by doing that it changed the angle or it changed the uh the height of this fitting ever so slightly and so I actually had to trim this tube because uh when I put it back into place it was actually bent down down some so um had to modify that just a bit I also did modify the tube in the back there the straight tube that goes from the radiator to that splitter um it was a little bit long and so because the it was a little long the splitter was off to the left a little too much and this fitting was kind of angled that way so I I shortened that tube in the back and now this tubing this uh this fitting can go straight back there so that's nice and this Bend right here I uh I didn't redo the whole thing I just ended up using the same Bend but just warming up this joint here this this one turn and uh and just kind of like you know just just adjusted it to get that same angle as the tube down here so now you can see both runs are more or less parallel to each other I mean I'm sure if you got out the protractor it wouldn't be exact but it's good enough for the naked eye I suppose um and also this fluid this new fluid actually looks way better in here than I thought it would seriously I did not expect it to look this good uh it actually matches the the sleeving the blue the blue accents on the sleeving a lot closer than I thought it would um because I don't know the fluid just looks darker in the bottle for some reason maybe it's CU it's plastic or it's just a bigger Mass I I have no idea but uh it looks a bit lighter when in the system when in this Loop so I'm really happy with how that turned out I also dropped in about 20 drops of that UV reactive Mayhem stuff uh it says on the bottle to drop one drop at a time and then check to see if you're satisfied I was like screw that droping in 20 at once YOLO and I'm really happy with the results actually let's go ahead and turn it on see what it looks like boom baby yes you can see it's just a lot more glowy this time around than it was in the last build log and that's exactly the effect I was trying to go for the second UV strip here from cable mod definitely helps a lot uh oh yeah let me let me turn the lights off let me turn the lights off boom does that look crazy or what super nuts yeah maybe this will give you guys some ideas on a name just just how freaking electric it looks and blue I mean this fluid combo is just freaking deadly I mean it was already pretty cool with just the aquatuning stuff but then the mayhem's UV drops just takes it over the edge I'm really loving how it all just complement with those those ridiculous dram heat spreaders amaz balls but that is pretty much going to wrap it up for now guys I'm going to call this build complete I don't know if I already mentioned that but yeah I'm pretty much done with I don't know what else to do with it if you guys have any ideas let me know uh be sure to like the video If you enjoyed it also just let me know what you think of the system so
