Big shoutout to Thermaltake for hooking us up with the GTX 1080 water blocks and coolant!

- Hey everyone! I wanted to take the time to write a personal note on account of the few issues I encountered during Part 4. First and foremost, this is the final part of the series. What you're left with at the end of this video is essentially a finished 'Blue Sky' save the faulty power supply (which has since been replaced). I will include tech porn of the project with the PC on in the benchmarking video. As for the note I made in this video, the compression fittings I was using do not fit properly around the PETG tubing I ordered. ModMyMods has informed me that this is due to poor PETG tubing QC (the tubes are basically too wide). In an effort to remedy the situation, I removed one of the included rubber O-rings from each fitting; leak tested to ensure they still functioned properly. The compression fitting you saw that leaked after flipping the PC still included that second O-ring, which meant that the tubing was not properly secured. Removing the ring solved the problem. I wanted to say this in person via video, but had a 10-hour drive to take care of yesterday (and I know how badly you wanted Part 4). Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for the benchmarks and additional tech porn.

- For those who are unfamiliar with the series, 'Blue Sky' was the street name of Heisenberg's (Walter White's) methamphetamine. I plan on using blue fluid in the loop as another tribute to Breaking Bad! This is Part 4 of 4. Get your fat pants ready.
