FPSrad I'll upload a special Video for that case.. what i can say for now, is that the tubes don't react heavily, as the X1 Mixture does, it should be mixed 1:1 for a better effect, i guess.
The dripping wasn't over with this one Fitting. The one on the cpu cooler, next to the sidepanel was bleeding, too. That one was a real disaster, because the fluid reached the inside of the cpu Socket. While i tried to dry the opened lga 1150 socket with a paper towel, which was a very bad idea.. the socket Pins stark to the tower when i was pulling it off the socket entwendet more than fifteen Pins... which gave me the opportunity to change the motherboard into one with blue Design...
The Tubes in the Link are made of different material. Mine are PETG.. i dont know what "ath" means.. The Reaction with uv-Light of the tubes is very low. The leakage i found at the end of this video , that's why it ended so roughly. There was a second leak on one of the cpu-dittings. The fluid ran inside the cpu socket, trying to dry it out ended in bent pins and need for a new mobo.. :-(
Alberto Manzi ..yes those are right.. the leakage was because of the uv glue didnt harden enoug and because the diameter of the tubes differ for production reasons up to 3%. The more space is between the tube and the cap, the harder to fill it bubblefree
Those Tubes are pretty good to bend. I tried Alphacool in dame diameter and they were much worse. The tricky part is, if you use the Free Center Hardline Fittingts, the gluing. 3 iron Rules: 1. gluing in an sunlight-free room first, 2. make sure to be 100% Bubble-free (needs a little patience), 3. For drying only use real sunlight, even on a cloudy or rainy Day it is much better than any UV-Lamp on the market. 2 min on summer or up to 5 min (each side) on cloudy days would do a good job (Uv-lamp-gluing was part of my leakage-problem). Last but not least: never forget to have the fitting-heads taped on the tube before gluing.. Once, the gluing is done good, you'll have the strongest, most stable cpnnections, you could imagine. If you want to spare the sticky part but stay with monsoon you could also use "evo 2" (evolution gen. 2) Fittings, then you only need to push in and Diameter differences are no matter anymor, because they are adjustable, which others dont.
Leaks galore and he's still filling... O_O
J Cos yes i recognized it until recording the Video with my smartphone, the Video ends in that moment..
why no footage showing it glowing with UV lighting?

yeah, sorry i meant to post this link www.performance-pcs.com/monsoon-petg-hardline-tube-1-2-x-5-8-36-4-pack-uv-blue.html not that ath stuff one
I'm sorry for the leak damage! :( what do you think may have caused that?
Alberto Manzi ..yes those are right.. the leakage was because of the uv glue didnt harden enoug and because the diameter of the tubes differ for production reasons up to 3%. The more space is between the tube and the cap, the harder to fill it bubblefree
So it's better to avoid these tubes?

are these the tubes in this system? www.performance-pcs.com/monsoon-hardline-tube-1-2-x-5-8-4-pack-uv-blue.html
