One thing I recommend to first timers is don't forget to eat and drink. If you're someone like me who becomes extremely focused on what they're doing (I have ADHD and literally hyperfocus on stuff like this), you can and will forget to eat or drink during the process. Last time I built a loop from start to finish, I worked for probably around 6 to 8 hours straight on it, and I forgot to eat and hydrate myself the whole time. That made me irritable, which made the build frustrating, which made my work sloppy and I had to redo some bends. Take breaks, give yourself time to eat, drink, and chill out, and it will make the whole process less stressful and easier.

Air cooling is certainly reliable, and alittle easier on maintenance. Water cooling is more work, but looks cooler, and even if you arent pushing temps, it allows you to run your fans at lower rpm for a much quieter pc. Noise is the primary reason i WC'ed and given my GPU is still air cooled (due to no blocks available for it, its a 1060), its the Loudest part in my system, and anytime i fire up a game, its obvious the fan ramps up. So much so it bothers me.
@Jupa 3 жыл бұрын
@@lyianx So... water cooling didn’t really address the noise issue? That’s actually why I stuck to pure air only and careful tweaking of the fans + using the best fan / size / impedance style configured carefully. I use a Noctua NHD15 chromax with 200mm + 140mm of front intake. 120mm rear exhaust because the best exhaust fans are the Noctua S12A which are 120mm only and are phenomenal, with 280mm total top exhaust fitted via a low noise adaptor. The system is like 36dba and doesn’t make noticeable transition idle to load. Even my founders 3070 uses it’s standard fans so I can only undervolt and curve the fan perfectly enough to not get loud. But I suppose it DOES run hot. High 70s at near full load and gaming. I think that’s where water cooling would help, but I’m not fussed and water cooling doesn’t make it silent so I’m not a water person for any means

As a word of advice, instead of just putting water in the system and moving it around to see if it leaks. Buy a cheap pressure tester for 15$ where you can put a load on it based off of psi because even though you might not see a leak now you might once the pump runs and puts pressure into the system. $15 can go a long way with water cooling.

@@TheRealUnconnected He said "pressure tester". A pressure tester is very different from an air pump. And the type of pressure tester that you buy for $15 is a simple gauge that threads onto a fitting and reads the pressure in the line. You add a pump into that which requires an electric motor and more tubing and internal components and pretty sure it goes north of $15. Also, and this might be just me, but if I'm going to test a system for a given application, I'm going to test using the same energy transfer medium as will be used in the application.

@@metaldiceman pretty sure he is talking about the specific ekwb loop testing device which includes an air pump and gauge. Surely you as a man of science who wants to test with the same medium realises that if it can hold air it can hold water right?

I want to say thank you, Jay. I have been building PCs for 20+ years and PC gaming/upgrading for almost 25. I am currently building a brand new system (intel 12700K, RTX 3090 ti, etc.) fully water cooled for the very first time. Instead of hard tubing, though, I opted for soft tubing. But I priced out buying all of the components I needed versus getting the Corsair Hard Tube kit and getting the fittings and tubing and cost less that way. I added a 280 radiator as well as the included 360 and a water block for the 3090 ti. But this video was everything I could possibly need. So thanks for the work you did.

TBH their watercooling stuff is really decent as well. The fittings are bitspower, the pumps are DDC and D5, and come with integrated (but sadly not disassemblable) reservoirs, and the whole ecosystem has fantastic lighting integration with games has a seriously promising future, though currently the games officially supported can be counted on one hand, and 2 are basically the same game (FC5 + New Dawn, Division 2, and Metro: Exodus, which is the one I experienced, and it was incredibly immersion enhancing). I'd really love to see them add more games to that list though, I think adding lighting cues to people's PCs is one of the next steps in non-VR immersion focused games. It makes their stand alone LED bar lights (The ones that stand upright on stands) actually relevant as well, which is probably badly needed for that product lol. I added some LED strips to my build from corsair as well and they play different effects than the fans, syncing up more with the RGB blocks and reservoir from what I remember. It's definitely a really cool effect lol

I just completed my build based on Jayz video, so thank you Jayz! I used the Corsair case and XD5, but most everything was different. Memory is water cooled with EKWB, as is the Dark Hero/5950X (with a monoblock) and a 2070 Super. Since this was my first ever custom loop water cooled system, my design was limited to one bend per tube. Passed the leak test, and using the system to write this. I was not happy with the cables off the 1050W PC Power and Cooling protruding into the drive cage, which had to be removed. So I designed a bracket for my 3-1/2" 6TB drive that takes up two of the 2.5" SSD drive brackets, and 3D printed it. Works great. I just hope it does not overheat in the cable area.

PMMA is PPG that’s been polymerized by methyl methacrylate. It’s also known as acrylic. They’re all very similar.

The term "accrylic" comes from the chemical used called acrylate. PMMA is polymethyl methacrylate. It is an acrylate, so it is an accrylic. This being said, their are different ways to make acrylates, some are more rigid and resistant and some are more akin to "glass" usually because they are a glass substitute.

Been building custom water loops for over 25 years and this was very well done. It’s so easy these days with these kits, as traditionally we had to “Jerry rig” so much of the loop. The only thing I would add is when you think you’re done and system is bled in this case with the inverted ports on the rad, turn on the pump and flip the whole box 180* to get the air out of the top of that inverted rad. Other than that it’s excellent. 👍
