Hey all -- was very sick the last two days (and a bit the week leading up to that) but finally starting to turn it around, so should be back to normal daily content schedule in the next few days, plus a return to testing/benchmarking. Thanks for your patience! LTX was a lot of fun, but I need to remember to bring my hazmat suit next time! We think it's all part of Linus' evil strategy to spread sickness to his competition!

Here are my tips from 15 years of water cooling. Leaks are pretty uncommon so don't stress put too much about them (definitely do a leak test though). When leaks do occur these seem to be the most common causes.

1. Forgetting the o-ring, always double check it didn't accidentally fall off.
2. Broken rotary fittings.
2. Cracked acetal from overtightening. Seriously, be careful when tightening into acetal you can crack it with just hand tightening and it's going to be a bad time.

Jay's the most interesting person in the tech space on YouTube. He's a unique personality who's as knowledgeable as anyone in the space, but fits in the "layman's" market of viewers: where you're not a child (Linus' market), but not necessarily concerned about extreme details (GN).

GN, just want to say thanks for the work you do and for the fun you have. It's inspiring.

I thought about custom loops for the looks and hobbyist aspect. I have a 2700x and was actually reluctant to ditch the stock cooler because it did an okay job and looks really good, but what made me decide to upgrade it was the noise. In the end I went for an air cooler. A Noctua NH-U12A. Not pretty but performs almost as well as their NH-D15 or a 280mm AIO. It is really quiet too. I like the set and forget aspect. Make up for lack of bling with other parts. I actually turned out to like RGB after being a grumpy old man calling it a sales gimmick. if I was still a 20 year old I would definitely go custom loops though. These days I am less into hassles and fiddly things. I am the same about building a kitset clone of a vintage Marshall guitar amp. I want to do it, but I know the fiddly tasks that require me to wear my glasses will have me cussing for days on end until the job is done. No fun in that. I have decided to solder together a DIY fuzz pedal instead. Much easier. Bent the pins on my 2700x when fitting the cooler btw. Dropped it. Lost the B channel ram slots as a result. Pissed me off

Spark Nock

great video...really like the look of custom loops. Nice to hear Jay call it "form before function" because the cost is prohibitive as well unless your going for a look

Mr.Not.So.Perfect.

I feel that 12 minutes just isn't long enough for this video, these 2 could talk about water cooling literally all day and I'd totally watch it as its entertaining, interesting and informative.
Seems that soft tubing is making a comeback in 2021 too, as every "man and his dog" now does a hard tubing loop in mostly an Lian Li case, so Unique is not really that Unique anymore.
As for the best soft tubing fittings imo, I've used barbs and Jubilee metal clips (worm drive hose clip) for years before switching to Monsoon compression clips (I got a great deal from eBay on a load of them) and I have to say they are pretty amazing, the top collar locks down onto the bottom part of the fitting and a tool clicks into 2 small slits in the collars outer edge and then allows you to screw it down onto the bottom threaded fitting, essentially locking the collar to the tubing and the fitting in one go, the only downside is they're quite fat and won't fit all blocks etc but you can just use an extension fitting and then put the monsoon fitting on top. Sadly I think they're being discontinued now, which is a shame as they're a really good compression fitting both in looks and ease of use.

What about having a dual loop setup? If you have the gpu and the cpu on different loops will that help eliminate any chances of the gpu heating up the cpu or vice versa? Or is there a negligible difference with a single loop?

Planoramic Limited

When half life 2 came out I watercooled my X800XT. I bought this bottle of liquid off the net that was AMAZING !!!! But discontinued weeks later. It weighed several times more than water. Was totally inert and non conductive that you could submerge working electrical appliances in it. It had no tension or meniscus. Being my first ever liquid setup, I was learning as I went and kit wasn’t what it is today and due to the lack of tension it leaks easier than water. It also evaporates very fast. It all leaked out of the tank joint and disappeared. Then I had to use fluid XP which was crap. I wish this was still available.

3800Tech

5y↑4

I have always used FDA grade silicone hoses and automotive coolant.

Have been using the same loop for the most part since 04 and only changed the coolant 3 times since then, and the pump was replaced in 08. Back then the pumps would be main powered aquarium pumps and that eventually wore out and got noisy so I have some brand 12v pump that no longer exists in its place. Apart from changing GPU blocks with upgrades and the coolant every 5 years or so it hasn't missed a beat!

Gareth Fairclough

Sounds like Trigger's broom, to me.

Mira Flynn

3800Tech Do you know how automotive coolant compares to computer fluids in terms of cooling efficiency and corrosion? And the coolant you’re using hasn’t damaged any of your stuff?

AstralStorm

@Mira Flynn Automotive coolant is usually standard water glycol mix with biocide (often borax, not copper) and sometimes anticorrosion additive.
It has a bit more glycol than you'd want for best heat transfer (preferably zero), but not all that much more.

Silicone tubing is very elastic and will slip most kinds of compression fittings. Use with the christmas tree plus band only.

emperorSbraz

silicon is kinda immortal. i admit it gets some permanent bad bends after 25 years of service but hey still working fine.
pump is a 3€ pump from aliexpress, i got so surprised by the performance at just 5V (never had a stalled rotor) i got another one as a spare when it will inevitably break. never a problem with barb fittings with no compression
i'm now using an arduino to control both fans and the pump using a hybrid PID with a custom board using 2x mosfets from a dead motherboard. :) oh, the pump is in a beer glass with tap water, 1 year running fine. the wire has started to wear down a bit, there's a clear discoloration.

240 rad, 200W+ max water temp i got was 41C with 30C+ ambient (italy summer hammers OC) with fans (el cheapo industrial fans) at max and pump at like 10V but it's pwm, hard to say for sure.

AstralStorm

@emperorSbraz The main reason for the band is for higher pressure (you don't have that in small pump) and to prevent mishaps with the piping if moving anything.

The problem with $3 pumps is that you are likely to get a QC fail. But in a redundant system, this makes a lot of sense.

As long as pressure, flow rate, radiator, block contact and fans (if needed) are sufficient, any ambient cooking system will have similar performance, give or take few degrees. Only at high thermal powers you have to be careful. E.g. I have a system designed for 1200W continuous, so your setup would lack in that setting.

One additional thing I ran into with an AIO but relevant for any Radiator-build. Motherboard VRMs. If you topmount the Rad, make sure rad+fans clear the motherboard VRMs. Can't use it otherwise. For me that is 52mm. Can't fit anything that is fatter than that.

Chrysippus

I still like the look of rigid tubing way too much. If I was reasonable I'd do air cooling, which has much higher price-to-performance ratio and much more reliable.

cattigereyes1

Ok it’s 2020 and a video showing the top manufacturer of custom water cooling equipment reviewed and tested would be nice as well as a build guide for each tested water cooling system and preform guides!

PatriotPaul

I'm still using soft tube on my current watercooling and 1st AMD build in over 10 years of watercooling stuff. I have some hard line fittings and I just said Naa. I like the flexibility of soft tube. I'm too cheap to buy Primochill fittings but I have been using the XSPC black chrome fittings as my last 3 builds. I did buy $100.00 solid copper nickel plated block and real strong D-5 pump and huge thick Nexcool copper 360 rads. I think those 3 things are where to spend your money for max cooling performance. tubing and fittings are just the pathway but I try to make it look good without paying 20.00 per fitting. To me that seems insane unless your in a pro show or some sponsored build. I too got away from colors and just use water and biocide with PG. I am waiting on my 1st white case the Lian Li X11 to get here and it all gets installed.

Bryan Espinoza

You have to make more videos like this you both are amazing

Chaos County Custom Computers

I hope you try out PrimoChill’s fittings, Steve. They are stellar...I’ve used them in several builds and am so happy with the quality!

Daniel Blanchard

Hey thanks much Jay! Would you think it is a good idea to use straight glycol like in larger systems?

Eddie T

5y↑3

Avoid aluminium components in your loop, this includes rads and waterblocks even if they're nickel coated
D5 pumps are more reliable and quieter to run than DDC pumps and usually provide more pressure
Make sure your reservoir outlet leads to the pump inlet and ideally it should be above the pump to allow gravity to feed the fluid to it
Buy more tubing than you need, not just the right amount, you may need to redo a cut or use a piece to fill/drain the loop, this also goes for the distilled water, get extra.
Plain water is best with the least problems, add either some biocide or a strip of silver in the reservoir to kill bacteria
Colourants and dies will stain your plastic tubing and acrylic blocks, be prepared to disassemble the loop to clean them if you want to change the fluid to a different colour and blocks will need to be dismantled to be properly cleaned out
Plan out a proper drainage point for the loop, usually this will be the lowest point in the loop and using a ball valve fitting will make life so much easier when you want to drain it

Eddie T

@Raging Monk An AIO? Lol

Raging Monk

@Eddie T Yes, turn an AIO into a loop. You people waste all this money on EK and the likes... Oh wait, you fools are probably running Intel furnaces and need an damn chiller. My bad bro....

Eddie T

5y↑2

@Raging Monk I did that with a H220 years ago. Flow rate and head pressure on those DDC pumps isn't great and can't keep up with expanded loops as well as a D5 can. Plus they're much louder compared to D5's even at full speed. If you're going to build a full loop there are plenty of brands cheaper than EK and almost as good that do a better job than an expanded AIO.

Raging Monk

@Eddie T As I stated. If you run Intel, you need something more. They draw way more power then they should.
I have ran my Ryzen 1600x at 4.0 for two years on a custom loop made from an AIO. It is silent. I hear my central air over it. K.I.S.S. system is the best, unless you have a chip that needs deep freeze.

Don't forget about plasticizer. That stuff can also gunk up your loop. Or just use plasticizer-free tubing like EPDM, Norprene or EK ZMT.

turbo shit

5y↑1

I used redline water wetter in a system for 7 years and never changed it and never had a leak using a thermal take cooler setup and flexible clear tubing and zip ties

Thanny

Loop order always makes a difference, but hardly ever matters.

The hotter the water when it enters the radiator, the faster that heat will be dissipated into the air, which means the cooler it will be after passing through the radiator. CPU's are smaller than GPU's, so the thermal density of the interface is higher. Have the coolest water (after the radiator or radiators) hit the CPU first, then the GPU, and then (after any other blocks) go to the radiator(s). That will give you the best temperatures, though the difference will probably be too low to even notice at a 1C granularity.

Can one of you guys do a comparison of a custom loop vs an AIO. Like how much money and what temperatures you get for each. I've tried looking but no one has done it

Apex Capital

5y↑1

Cooling with a good AIO is very similar to a custom loop, but the reliability is far behind.

Vicky Beaver

5y↑2

Its not so much as to how much cooler a custom loop is over an AIO as it is the gained thermal mass, if AIO's started adding reservoirs to their loops and good copper brass rads, better pumps then they would be alot better then they are.

Once full heat saturation is reached on the average 1-2 rad custom loop the diffrence is a custop loop may be a few degrees cooler if it has more rad capacity, better fans, better blocks, more liquid and such. Those few degrees can make quite a diffrence when pushing to the limits of an overclock reliably.

But the main aim of custom water loops is time, custom water cooling can take hours to reach peak tempature rather then 20 minutes for an AIO or almost instant for convetional air heat sink. This also works in reverse the greater the thermal mass also the longer it takes to cool back down when load is removed.

grlmgor

Their out of the box thermals are the same.

JimR

@Vicky Beaver The key benefits of AIO are ease of implementation and pricing. Adding more gear and features would increase the price and begin to limit potential applications because of space concerns. Most people don't work their systems hard enough to justify the heavy duty cooling capacity of a well designed custom loop.

I think AIOs have the balance about right as you get a very nice benefit over air cooling (noise and/or performance) at quite a friendly price. I'm rockin' a Ryzen 3600 and cooling it with an X42 AIO from NZXT. I could have spent less on a better performing AIO, but I wanted the infinity pool RGB thing in my rig.

Vicky Beaver

5y↑1

@JimR the way I see it is AIO is a bane on cpu cooling as it has pushed prices up for custom open loop cooling to create a swelling market for themselfs when they should not cost much more then a high end noctua air cooler. there used to be affordable custom loop kits with 600L/h pumps all copper for the same price as what they charge now for the more expensive AIO's did the price of these componets go up the past decade? no companies just got more greedy.
most are all the same forced by a asetek USA pattent that means only they can sell theirs in the USA, innovation and improvement in the AIO space has been stagnated.
yes there are nice to haves with an AIO but when they charge what they charge they need to perform alot better then what they do, aluminum dose not cost more then copper so why are people paying for it like it dose?.

needabettername

You mean during the 8 hours during the charity stream?

Donk

Industrial cooling towers often have a continual sample loop measuring conductivity, oxygen reduction potential, which us a way of measuring the primary biocide dosing (bromine). Sometimes they also sample for dosed scale inhibitor using a fluorometer to measure the concentration of fluorescent tracer mixed with the inhibitor. All this is continually monitored and dumped, refreshed and dosed accordingly as threshold triggers are met. Which seems way over the top for a pc build. I often wondered if lifelong, ready mixed coolant used in the automotive industry would suffice?

InfinityPCs

The reason I switched to hard tubing was because of soft tube plasticizer leaching and causing the tube to be cloudy.

Nightlight

5y↑6

MrGhost370 it’s kind of ironic that you attack other adults for having a different sense of humor from you, when having such a bad attitude is often likened to the “terrible twos.”
When it comes to maturity, I think I’d rather have the humor of a “six year old” than the attitude of a two year old.
Either way, being an angry, toxic person is the exact opposite of having “grown up.” So you’ve got a different sense of humor from other people, that’s fine. That does not mean your sense of humor is superior or more mature, and certainly shouldn’t be a reason for being so toxic to others.

Todd Simone

5y↑4

Jay the thermostat in your car is only used for warmup of the engine and prevents flow through the radiator until it reaches the t-stat opening temp which is usually around 180 F. After that point it's always open so there is actually constant flow and the temp will basically equalize as it does in a water cooling loop. The temp change you're noticing is only a result of airflow through the radiator either as a result of the fans coming on or physical air flow at higher speed. Goes to show the importance of airflow through the radiator but the same thing would happen on a water cooling loop if you manually switched the fans on and off as far as temps are concerned but the flow is in fact constant with respect to the water pump speed/engine RPM.

spddmn24

That’s not true at all in most cases. The radiator is nowhere near capacity at 180+ degrees for regular street driving. Without a thermostat most cars would run significantly cooler than 180 degrees, especially in colder months.

Todd Simone

@spddmn24 My point is the thermostat doesn't open and close during operation. Once it reaches about 180F it starts opening and remains open while the engine is hot. It may not be open all the way but it certainly doesn't open and close while the engine is hot.

Chadwick Hurlburt

Silver Sol mixed with distilled water is the best mix for a PC cooling system. If anything, the silver molecules will adhere to the block making it MORE effective for cooling. Also, nothing will be living in your loop. No baddies.

Alucard

I know this is two years old but silver attaching itself to the block would not make it cool better..... all that will do is increase the mass of the block not increase its thermal conductivity as the silver isn't in contact with the heat producer

John Vanderbeck

Definitely changes since his old guide considering back then he specifically suggested things like nano fluids over distilled water and biocyde (sp)?

Steve: "you, and Paul, and kyle, you all make really good looking PC's..."
Jay: "Yup"
When you KNOW your shits good. 🤣

for my personal systems, soft tube all the way. I want my system up and running in a days work, having to break out a heat gun to do the tubing runs is added time simply not worth it IMO considering there is no performance gain compaired to a well ran soft tube setup and many of the hard line systems start to all look the same. it was cool when Singularity Computers did it with SLI connector hard tubes now its just cliche IMO

4:10 If your reservoir has air in it, the pressure inside the tubes can't rise.
The air would be compressed too, but there is not enough expansion due to heat to decrease the volume of the air in the reservoir enough to be visible, so the pressure doesn't change either.

Hi Steve and Jay if you are looking at doing a video on the basics of water cooling I would love it if you could review biocides also which ones are available in Australia as they can be very hard to get here. Also if you could do a piece on quick release fittings. I am about to put some in. I am hopping they will let me work on the system without having to drain it. Also I have been using a lot of connections from bykski and barrow which I have been getting from AliExpress just because it saves me between about 50% on the cost so maybe a review on those for us poor people:). Anyway thanks I really enjoyed and appreciate the work that you both do Eric

cool video guys would like to see GN do a water cooling build

Does anyone make 90° elbows/guides to clip on to soft tubing? Soft tubing certainly seems like it'd be much more convenient than rigid, but it also looks a little more sloppy with the gentle curves and sagging tubes. I'm thinking that a little bit of bracing for the bends could tidy things up a bit.

needabettername

No, you want crisp corners, use hard tubing, adding a 90 degree bend in soft tubing will put weight in the middle of your loop and sag worse than just turning a corner

I've been curious and maybe it's already a thing that I didn't know about. If run a loop in such a way where it goes into rad 1 and then into rad 2 before going back to the pump, would that give a significant heat dissipation? Or would it be overkill? I've seen systems with 2 rads, but usually one rad is for cpu and the other is for gpu. My scenario is just for the cpu.

Ilijas Ramic

i was thinking 3x 360 in parallel mode same like what jay did once.

Andromydous

@Ilijas Ramic Will have to look that vid up. I'm just wondering if there are gains to be had with 2 rads for a cpu or if it'd be worth it at all.

Ilijas Ramic

@Andromydous Depends really on what cpu. Just get a 240 thick one or 360 thick one but they are hella expensive

Soft tubing is less costly and safer because the fit is much tighter. It is also much easier to work with compared to hard tubing. The only thing that hard tubing has over soft tubing is cleaner look, that’s all.

Scott Laman

Conor while short, straight runs with flex tubing can have similarly clean looks, there is a definite difference in the look of the tube itself. Holding them side by side, you will notice a big difference in how clear each type is compared to others... Flex tubing has a bit of a cloudy appearance, with clarity increasing as you move to PETG, Acrylic, and finally Glass... The down side is that the more clear a tubing is, the more brittle it is...

Dan Jeffries

Can you do a vid on the diminishing returns of radiators in a loop? Record temps with only a 240 mm rad all the way up to 1,080 mm... And everything in between.

needabettername

Figure 240mm radiator per overclocked component will be about your maximum before the cooling capabilities are starting to really diminish

i got my i7-8700k and 2 1080 ti's and hyper 212 cpu cooler in 2018 with an oculus rift , and put it away. i recently decided i'm building it upside down, with the gpu water cooling blocks surfaces 3/8" from gpu inlet fans, and the cpu water cooler attached to top of hyper 212 with a 2nd added fan. soft tubing and reservoir on lowest point trying to have connections between reservoir/pump going upward no higher than top of reservoir fluid level. My radiators 2ea 120mm x 480mm will have long hoses so i can submerge them in ice water. i have pcie extender cables and getting a longer sli connector cable to enable the spacing. i don't wish to risk a leak on the electronics. the water pumps (1 for ice water circulation thru rads, 1 for cpu and gpu's) will have power switches. wrx or warp speed. i'm making my own case, out of old 1's. then i will shop for flight simulator stuff. flying over the dark side of the moon at 100' in a vessel was the best fun with the rift setup.

Thanks for this video! I like when you feature other youtubers.

Guideline I learned the hard way: we use distilled water not tap water because distilled water is a insulator.

I have a question for you both does it matter if a intake radiator blows into a exhaust radiator? (example: 360mm rad in front of case as intake and having a 360mm up top as a exhaust.)

The top radiator will dissipate less heat, but 2 360 rads should be more than enough, unless rumning dual socket xeons and dual vega cards

yes. you dump slightly hotter air into the 2nd rad.
assuming a completely sealed air system it's easily solved by having either a dedicated or secondary intake that mixes in some fresher air.
on a case full of holes you don't have real in->out airflow so it mixes anyway, as long as both rads have fans.
a non-concern imo.

needabettername

@emperorSbraz the difference will be minimal as the rads will become saturated, the 2nd rad would start with a slightly higher temp, but you are talking only a small amount, like 2c, again only in a hermetically sealed case

Chris

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that replied.

Thanks GN for this video. Much appreciated.

Been using Soft tubing for YEARS.
hard to justify buying 25 new fittings at $15 a pop for hard tubing.

that's like.... a new gpu. fuck dat shit. :D

Have you seen or tried the one piece sleeve compression fittings.. i got one and put it together . then pulled .. it seemed much stronger grip to me. i will be switching over..
