**The Project Blue Sky Series: A Journey of Discovery and Creativity**

As I embark on this final video of the Project Blue Sky series, I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you who has joined me on this journey. Your enthusiasm, support, and constructive criticism have been invaluable in helping me refine my craft and push the boundaries of what is possible with custom computer builds.

One aspect of this series that I'm particularly proud of is the RGB functionality that comes built-in with these dims. I've had the opportunity to experiment with a wide range of colors and effects, from neon green to yellow and pink, and I can confidently say that the results are nothing short of stunning. The software that controls this feature is incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to customize every aspect of the lighting to my heart's content.

However, I must also acknowledge some of the challenges we've faced along the way. Specifically, I was criticized for being unprepared and not doing my homework before embarking on the PG2 bending process. While I understand that this may have caused frustration for some of you, I want to assure you that my intention was not to frustrate or confuse. Rather, I wanted to show you the learning curve that comes with mastering a new skill, and I hope that by doing so, I've been able to help others who may be facing similar challenges.

In fact, I believe that the bending process is an art form that requires patience, practice, and dedication. There's no substitute for experience, and even the most seasoned professionals will tell you that there's a learning curve involved. But don't just take my word for it – with time and practice, anyone can master the art of bending PG tubing.

Speaking of which, I'm excited to announce that my next project will be an all-new custom Loop PC build featuring glass tubing instead of PG. This is a bold departure from my previous builds, and I'm eager to see what kind of results I can achieve with this new material. With its sleek, transparent appearance and versatility in terms of fittings and components, I believe that glass tubing has the potential to revolutionize the world of custom watercooling.

As for the specifics of this build, I won't give too much away just yet – but rest assured that it will feature a Primo Chill predominantly on board, with some exciting graphics card blocks from other vendors. The motherboard will be a high-end gigabyte model, paired with two RX 480s and an 1700 X for the CPU. And as always, I'll be incorporating plenty of water cooling potential into this build, all within a mid-Tower form factor.

One aspect that I'm particularly excited about is the possibility of collaborating with other manufacturers to bring new components to the table. Whether it's a custom loop from Factal Design or something entirely different, I'm always on the lookout for innovative solutions to help push the boundaries of what's possible in custom watercooling.

Finally, I want to thank each and every one of you for your enthusiasm and support throughout this series. Your comments, questions, and suggestions have been invaluable in helping me refine my craft and create content that resonates with you all. If you've enjoyed this journey as much as I have, be sure to give this video a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, and join me on future projects – I promise you won't be disappointed!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI seriously considered calling this part five of four so here it is folks the final verdict this is Blue Sky now the first thing I want to do is give huge shout outs to all the companies that made Blue Sky possible and that's starting of course first off with Alpha cool who supplied almost everything that you're seeing uh in the build they supplied the two 360 mm radiators it supplied all of the petg tubing all 60 ft or so of the petg tubing all of the fittings that you see in here as well as the reservoir and the pump uh they also had a ton of stuff sent over that was necessary for work behind the scenes that you obviously aren't seeing in this build but pretty much anything that you could possibly want including a variety of graphics card water block support uh is offered on Aqua tuning Alpha cool websites I have the US version Aqua tuning us and also so the original Alpha cool that's all in German for my German viewers out there uh both of the sites are linked in the description check them out if you're building any kind of custom Loop PC I do recommend that you start there they have literally everything now another prominent feature of this build that I cannot go without mentioning is the Leon Le pc11 I don't know if it's the 01 or just the 11 and the O's silent anyway it's a beautiful tempered glass case I want to give a personal shout out to Trevor for hooking me up with this thing I I really wanted to go with a lean Le case for this build I I admire the company I think they make some of the best looking cases on the market it's always been my dream to to own a case like this so I'm glad that this was able to happen I don't think any other case would have made Blue Sky look any better than it already does I also want to thank V1 tech for supplying these beautiful back plates the blue accents of which match the fluid almost perfectly as well as mod my mods for supplying this beautiful CPU block here I was looking for something that was a bit darker of a blue shade to match the darker blue in these cables that Tony from veril supplied and uh this was it I mean this was once I saw it he sent a picture of he's like hey I can s these over tomorrow I was like heck yes this is the the perfect uh the perfect piece to to make the blue shades of this build come together I didn't want it to be just one solid shade of blue I think that's a little boring uh and when Tony showed the cables that he had and he had those two different shades in there I I knew that uh the rest of this build was going to fall as suit with that that was just something that I wanted personally you see tons of just you know monochromatic builds uh but I like a bit of diversity and that's what Blue Sky now brings to the table thermal Tak applied the two GTX 1080 water blocks these look very similar to the EK water blocks and I'm glad they didn't deviate much from this design I want to give a personal shout out to Jack over at thermal for overnighting these blocks making this happen uh the next day I sent him an email at like 2:50 p.m. uh and then the next morning those blocks were literally here so huge shout out for making that happen that's the reason why part 4 was as early as it was and that's why I was able to complete the build uh much earlier than I had anticipated I originally had the parallel Bridge connecting the two cards uh but that actually impeded the SLI Bridge connectors to the left and it came very far over to the left and almost blocked the connectors entirely and this this will depend on the kinds of cards you use and you know how far away the GPU is from those SLI connectors so it's all about PCB design in this case it didn't really work out this is the reference GTX 1080 PCB we're talking about here so what I had to do was use the two included fluid connectors one came with each card and then I cut small just cuts of PG tubing and put those in between the fluid connectors to you know obviously complete the loop now you're probably wondering why I have the Trident Z RGB Ram set to an RGB setting I originally intended to have uh those dims oscillating between like a light blue and a dark blue uh but the software support for x99 platforms is not here yet I tried downloading it and just you know just to see if it would work it does not so I have to wait for that Beta Support to arrive arrive 4 x99 platforms until then it's going to be RGB is uh but that it will be blue I guarantee you it will be blue uh once that software support arrives but uh just a general comment on the dims themselves the RGB functionality is super you can literally replicate any color you want neon green no problem yellow no problem pink no problem uh and I've seen the software uh being run on other platforms that are supported at this point uh and you have total customizability so these these dims aren't the cheapest admittedly they're going to cost you over 100 bucks for a 16 gig kit uh but they're going to they're going to look super sexy in that new rig of yours now something I wanted to mention in regard to part two of four of the Project Blue Sky series is how raw I was with all of you about the pg2 bending process I caught a lot of flak for being unprepared and not doing my homework people even accuse me of not watching YouTube instructions before going about the process which in and of itself is a ridiculous claim what I did do was show you the learning curve that was the the learning process and there is a curve there it's not something you can just pick up and do it takes time it takes practice it is an art and I think any of the the professionals I guess you could call them who have been doing this for a long time uh would admit the same thing but I even emphasized at the end of that video that once you get through the first couple of hurdles you know the first day or so is going to be rough if it's your first time once you get used to how far away to hold the PG tubing from the heat gun uh how much of the tube to heat up when you're going about bending uh the tubing then you're going to you're going to be smooth sailing and at this point I can pretty much make any PG bend that I want the first time around without screwing up uh and and have that be uh good to go so if you don't appreciate the honesty The Upfront kind of like you know learning curve discussion in my videos this isn't the channel for you uh it's just something that I will always do because I'm not going to act like I'm an expert in something that I haven't done before and I'm not going to try to learn it and rush through the process and then create an instuctional video because there are plenty of those out there from people who have already done it many times um so I'd rather set myself apart in another way and just be honest about the process alog together I will say it pays off so just keep practicing if this is your first time doing something like this keep doing it you know just come up with some hypothetical bends try doing some crazy stuff and if you can do all of that then you can pull off the bends necessary to build a computer much like Project Blue Sky so I saved a surprise announcement for last and that is that I will be undergoing a new custom Loop PC build changing one variable mainly that is I will not be using PG this time around but glass tuing so we'll be using a bunch of fittings we'll have a Primo chill predominantly on board with this one uh and then we'll have maybe some other components like graphics card blocks from other uh vendors we'll be using a defined s from factal design plenty of water cooling potential in a mid Tower size form factor a motherboard I believe from gigabyte two RX 480s and a 1700 x because ryzen is the Hot Topic so stay tuned for that I actually have a few rough drafts already up but you guys know that that is subject to change definitely uh the end result with Project Blue Sky looked nothing like how I planned it envisioned it in my head uh but I did just you know jump into this whole thing right away I didn't start with soft tubing or anything I wanted to go all out and that's why there was such a big learning curve for me but at this point I'm very comfortable and glass is up next with that I hope you've enjoyed the Project Blue Sky series this video here marks the finale the finished product I know there are some things that a few of you aren't going to like you might like the coolant you might not like the RGB Ram the way they are there's always something that someone's going to complain about but this is my build and I love it exactly the way it is and that's all that matters if you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down for the
