Need water cooling help
I just got to level 28 and the librarian (ilovedeweydecimal ) has asked me to install water cooling into her case. Its the Fractal Designs Fine R6 Black T6 case. I got the two radiators in by changing the RAM, but can't figure out where to put the reservoir(s).

The reservoir seems to collide with every part of the case.

Sometimes when the customer asks us to "Install water cooling" it can be satisfied by just installing an AIO cooler. Perhaps try that. It's a lot easier, less complicated, and less money.

Does that work if the email specifies certain parts? In the email it says water cool the CPU and GPU, it specifies that 2 EK CoolStream SE 360 RGB radiators be installed (I had to change RAM to install one on the top of the case, the other fit in the front after removing the drive bays) and it specified the EKWB EK-FC GeForce GTX 1080 Plexi RGB watercooled GPU.

I was able to get everything in except the reservoir.

Ah no, in that situation then you have to. You didn't say that in the original post so I wasn't aware. Some jobs literally just say "Install water cooling" without specifics.

If I remember right you have to use a small reservoir (alphacool) and to strip down the case (e.g. removing drive bays, default fans, etc.) and to mount it early. If there is more than one option to mount it try all of them.

when in doubt post a save game file so we could help you

The email gives you a hint; before installing the radiators, remove the drive bays and slide the panel that they're mounted on to the back of the case. That gives you a spot to put an EKWB EK-XRES 140.

The problem is that the e-mail asks us to put TWO ekwb 360.... I could place one on the front, but the second one, which goes on the top, collides with the Rams.... I think the job is bugged.

Can you please share the save file, so we can try it?

To locate your save games:
Log into your Steam account
Right click on a game from the Steam game library and choose Properties.
Go to the Local files tab
Click Browse local files...
The game installation folder will open and you will see a folder called Saves

We want the correct .binary file in that folder. You can check that the Date Modified matches the time when you clicked New Save.

You can then share the save somewhere, like PasteBin, or in the game's Discord Channel (by clicking the Discord button on the game's main screen).

Cool! I'll share it on DC Channel then.

I had no problems doing this:
- Remove any Radiators
- Remove any RAMs
- Remove any GPUs
- Install low-profile RAM, like "ADATA Premier Series 8 GB 2133 MHz"
- Push the sliding case part to the back
- Install a "Alphacool Eisstation DC-Ultra" Reservoir
- Install a "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 | EKWB EK-FC Plexi RGB" GPU
- Install a "CORSAIR Hydro X Series XC7 RGB 115X/AM4 (Black)" CPU Block
- Install 2 "EKWB EK-CoolStream SE 360 RGB" Radiators
- Set 6 RGB items to 255, 0, 85
