What I learned building my first custom water loop
Summary
The post details the author’s journey building a fully custom water cooling loop for a PC. It covers planning, case compatibility, tubing choices, leak testing, and practical tips (e.g., avoiding galvanic corrosion, using quick disconnects, and testing components individually) to achieve a silent, high-performance build. The piece emphasizes that custom loops blend art and engineering, and that deeper understanding comes from hands-on exploration beyond HALs and templates.
