Cooling Upgrade, Phase 4: Liquid Cooling (ATCS 840) (Part 1)
Conclusion/Parting Thoughts/Preview
So, here we are. We’ve installed our water-cooling hardware in our ATCS 840. It really is a very simple, straightforward process. Thus far it really has been no different to installing any other kind of computer hardware. To this point, I hope you can appreciate that there really is no reason to feel any kind of reluctance or fear or trepidation for installing a custom water cooling system into your gaming PC.
Next week, though, we will be concluding this cooling upgrade miniseries in the ATCS 840. I’ll show you how to properly fill and bleed your new water-cooling loop, as well as how to properly conduct a leak test.
After next week, I’ll do one FINAL post revolving around the ATCS 840. It will be a simple, purely cosmetic, mod. The great thing about this mod is that it’s applicable to any piece of computer hardware you might want to use it on. But it’s a mod that I had always planned on doing on my ATCS 840, so I’ll show you how to do it as well.
And that will probably be the last we see of my Cooler Master ATCS 840.
We’ll be moving on to newer subjects!

WHOA THIS IS AWESOME!~
Thankfully my computer doesn’t run very hot, I don’t think I could do this without frying some vital piece of hardware. Unless it was pre-installed, or there’s some sort of professional to do it, I wouldn’t trust myself to do it.
Hi jan paul!
Nah, not going to be putting dye in the water. Too many headaches running dyes in the water. Maybe if it was strictly just for show, then maybe I’d put dyed water in the loop.
I almost used white tubing on this build, actually.
But I changed to blue tubes at the last moment. Thankfully, it still looks good.
Thanks for reading, and for the comment!
