four dual fan radiators is more than enough cooling for even the most
powerful gaming systems today but who can afford both the kind of monstrous
case that can hold them and the team of people required to move it around
that that's where you come in you want to be a star
by the time this video is over this tiny
80 mini itx case that i've never even heard of before is gonna have
four rads a 12 core CPU
and an rx 6900xt crammed in it all for your
viewing pleasure i promise this is
not going to be easy
but telling you about our sponsor is easy

in late 2020 Intel china sponsored a contest that all the large tech creators
on billy billy got involved in making cool builds and some crazy mods in the
vector one case and after seeing king of wings impossible quad radiator build we
had to do it for ourselves so king of wings sent us not only a case but also
some of the very specialty hardware that he knew
that we'd need to make a western clone of his chinese design and see if it can
hold up to the worst abuse we can put it through
that just cut me of course we don't want to build exactly
the same computer so since we're not sponsored by Intel we're going to be
building an all AMD machine starting
with an upside down CPU install oh yeah
i don't need that gravity for that there we go
now most elements of this build are pretty bog standard so i don't want to
spend a ton of time talking about the Gigabyte aorus x570 itx motherboard or
the samsung 980 pro SSD or the crucial
ballistics ddr4 memory or what have you because the big focus for me today is
the case the base version of this puppy only has
acrylic side panels so if you want metal
ones like the ones that we've got they're going to cost you an extra 20
and considering how much of the overall case material would be the side panels
that's actually quite reasonable in fact i'd say the pricing is really reasonable
overall these kinds of niche small form factor cases tend to go for 200 300 even
400 plus dollars so why is it so cheap
well andy informed me that cases like these are in very high demand in china
where a lot of university students will need a good pc for their work or well to
game on but they might not have a ton of space in their rooms
of course though space savings without adequate cooling is worthless
let's talk water cooling our finished build will have plenty of
room around the CPU so we've gone with the beautiful but otherwise pretty
conventional ek velocity strike RGB
what we need to do first is get two of these kaze
12 12 crazy slim 120 millimeter fans
installed in the bottom of the case so paying particular attention to our
cable orientation we're going to get them over on the motherboard side we're
going to use these as intakes both for the case itself
and to cool the radiator that is going to be in the bottom of the case now
you might look at this and go gee Linus you could barely
get a fan in there how are you going to get a radiator well we're going to cheat
we're going to use this one and we're going to put it
here and then we're going to use the fittings
we put in it as feet
oh my god this just rubs on the bottom of the case okay
i think i have a solution we'll just use the anti-vibration pads that are
included with the fan let's see if that does it
yeah that does it jeez
okay what this also means is i think i can just go ahead and use regular fan screws
on this because as long as they've got a nice flat head on them they shouldn't
interfere with mounting the rad as long as they don't
cause it to rub are you kidding me
screwing it in is all it takes to make the blades rub
that's fine i don't even care i got anti-vibration
things for days here why don't we use some of these og orange ones
i would not recommend trying this at home
the odds that you build will end up delayed for three weeks by some stupid
part you don't have on hand it seems very high
okay yeah it's in let's just make sure the gravity
of turning it now like this doesn't cause it to rub oh you piece of crap
don't even think about it
it is too okay that's okay we have a solution to this problem here we go
ladies and gentlemen i am going to take
this screwdriver and i'm just going to go like
this perfect we're using a very loose
definition of installed when we talk about fans being on the radiators here
these are not the same size they're not right up against it they're
not actually mounted to the radiator because hold on where'd it go there it
is it goes in ah a little something like this so we get
these two nubbins that's an issue we had before getting the fittings to actually
seal when there's sheet metal in the way and then the fans just kind of you know
they just kind of sit here oh uh hello
are you kidding me
okay that's fine i have an idea i'm
gonna use washers okay it wasn't clean enough we gotta
make the build cleaner oh
wow that's all we needed just
this much fantastic
get it okay cool we've got both of them in they
both spin freely thanks to using both the rubber grommet things and washers on
both of them perfect they're mint now
we're just gonna put this on here because otherwise cables are gonna get
stuck in it there we go
absolutely flawless victory
now we can pop these little extensions which
are gonna help our fitting seal through the holes that we made in the case
there we go now we didn't quite get the holes
perfectly lined up but we can get at least six screws into the radiator which is
lots now we can move on to the power supply and there's a couple of cool
stories here this is a pretty special power supply it's fully modular it's sfx
look how small this thing is and it's 850 watts with an 80 plus gold
efficiency rating its uniqueness is why we had to wait like how many months to
get it like two and a half months to get it because there's kind of a global
shortage right now but it's the only way to get the kind of
power that we're going to need for these components in such a small enclosure
my second cool story bro moment is about this bracket now by default there's
actually kind of an overhang here it comes comes out a little bit but in
order to get this radiator mounted next to it where we're actually using this
fan as an intake for the rad uh we had to shave that down one pro tip
i would strongly recommend installing the modular cables before you screw in
the power supply because otherwise it's kind of hard to get your fingers in
there another pro tip for you make sure that the eps connector goes into the far
right eight pin socket otherwise it's not going to reach all the way over
there jeez i swear to you guys everything
about this build is unconventional we've barely even started and now we're
putting in the graphics card already so we take our pci express riser plug that
bad boy right into the PCIe slot right there and
then we've got two screws there we go we're gonna put right there oh gorgeous
for our GPU we've gotten full sex appeal
ladies and gentlemen that's right we've gone rx 6900
xt nice
you know cable management doesn't even look that bad yet it will
the idea here is that we're configuring both the top and bottom radiators as
intakes so we're gonna have positive air pressure inside the case and i guess if
we were smart we'd put an air filter on it or something like that but we didn't
think of that with the whole assembly put together so this bracket comes
pre-installed in the case take the whole thing and
wow the clearance between this fan on this radiator and the i o over there
like boy by the way this is what's known as a
five head move god that looks so good
love copper rads there's no actual benefit to using
copper for the fins it just looks
so cool fun fact copper conducts heat better
than aluminum but aluminum dissipates it to the surrounding air better
what uh okay so now is probably a good time to start
figuring out some of this fittings situation good lord i can't believe
we're putting two more radiators in this now normally
i like to use compression fittings for my water cooling they are more secure
and in my opinion they look better but they also take up marginally more
space than a barbed fitting and in a build like this
every cubic millimeter matters oh yeah
look at that no problem now this is a funny one
normally if you use a right angle it's really nice to have a rotary one like
this that has an o-ring internally so you can kind of spin it around to
whatever direction works but yeah we can't do that for the CPU in order to have enough room
for the radiator to sit next to it we
really did need that extra few millimeters
so we're going with fixed 90 degree fittings
got to get this exactly right because we can't really have any any play in this
puppy all right hey that's not bad not bad at all wait we have a zip tie
cutter what am i using scissors for like a pleb
this better be the greatest zip tie cutting experience i've ever had in my
life oh no
now you guys thought this build was interesting already right now it gets
interesting because this radiator has to
mount to these slots on the side panel
and close somehow
with the tubing attached so we can't put fans on it because there's no clearance
between the CPU block and this side and basically it seems like we're just gonna
have to kind of wing dang doodle it now i have
done runs this short but never in an environment like this like
never with a curve in it uh and i'm gonna try something that i've never done
before i'm actually going to intentionally cut the tubing at an angle
to see if that helps me get it in a little bit more easily okay ha it's
perfect it's actually perfect which is amazing because i was not
expecting that but it gets better
because now we got to do this see this GPU here it's got to connect to
that other fitting way over there oh my god oh my god oh yeah
look at that
got the cooling can't be cool without cooling
so what you do is you just screw it into the panel
yeah punch through and screw in the radiator
and then it's closed yeah
GPU is now half plumbed and the whole rest of this look at this we can see the
finish line ladies and gentlemen except that there's one more obstacle
that's right we got to put another radiator in we're working on fan power
right now and i used a total of four y-splitters to get a total of six
connectors off of the two fan headers on the motherboard then we're going to use
that sadiq power connector to run the pump
that's the plan there's a small problem though
and that is that this creates so much cable bulk that we're gonna need another
fan grill just to make sure this fan actually spins except that we had to
screw this fan into this 140 millimeter adapter and now the screws
they're not gonna you can't screw it in from both sides
because the fan is so skinny it's a little skinny chicken fan that's
it that's as far as it goes that's okay though
because we are clean boys and the answer is more washers
there you go three quarter inch machine screws and these nuts
got that on there real good and
see yeah no clearance issues
with that solved now i got a little trick to show you
we're gonna take that's right this here 90 degree and instead of
screwing it into a hose barb we're actually going to screw it into a
quick release oh now it's getting real interesting
because because you guys are probably thinking gee Linus where's your
reservoir i don't have one
we do have a problem though right now i don't see any way to get our tubing
from here to here it's too short
like that basically lines right up
which wouldn't be an issue except that i can't get my hands in there to
like screw anything together this is quite possibly the dumbest thing
i've ever seen like that that's
the actual answer you know like that's not that's not an answer that's a
that's an abomination it's an efficient abomination i'm not
sure if this is a good idea or not but hear me out
we take a 45 degree fitting okay
see like that and then we like angle the tubing over
there a bit so it has a bit more clearance it's in
it's actually in i gotta plug in these fans still do a
little bit of cable management but it's in
it's time ladies and gentlemen it's time to find out if she leaks
this is a little disconcerting even with a ddc plus
this flow rate is not very fast with all
these slimline radiators in here
this is a lot of water for a small form factor system
that's it we're bled so this is where things get really cool
we're going to take this quick connect and go and then we're going to take this quick
connect and we're going to go up
and this goes right on here
and the loop is now full no air bubbles
i feel like on a build like this it would be extremely bad gbs
to not post test it before we close the panels
let's go ahead and do that now
here it goes
that's a lot more bubbles than i was expecting given
that the loop was pre-bled
please output
anytime you're ready
oh my god okay
hold on we're not out of the woods yet here ladies and gentlemen and make sure
all the fans are spinning yes yes
yes yes
uh these ones i actually have no idea how i'll access
i'm not going to try and move it at this point i think they surely they're
spinning okay
there's an SSD on the board right
i mean there must be we're gonna yeah we're gonna
frickin a man all right so we need a uh
we need a drill
three hands we've got enough layers we need more hands up
where'd it go the system didn't reboot which means
we didn't short it out that's good
let's turn it off real quick
here we go this is the last thing
as long as this goes on we are done
oh my god look at that case
it's just so tiny it's freaking
heavy this is dense with two s's
d-e-n-s-s
rad visible no matter how you look at it like just look like it just has
it just has so much inertia you know the funny thing is now that it's done it
really doesn't look that small
there we go that's more like it so one
thing that is undeniably big about this
system even if it is pretty small is the
cooling potential we have a whopping 32
threads of smallest fft running in prime95 here we've got fur mark running
at 3440 by 1440 and with this thing
running for the last what hour hour and a half
we have peaked at 86 degrees on the CPU that is a mere
73 degrees on the die oh no 77 77 on the
die and our GPU maxed at 60 degrees and
the best part of this is oh just about tripped over the tripod i don't even
think we've got it configured in the most optimal way here because with cool
air being drawn in the bottom and the top and hot air radiating out of the
sides like this we actually end up with it rising like you can feel this sphere
of heat around the system and you can actually feel the intake on this rad
it's not very cool so to go back and do it again what i probably would do is go
intake at the bottom intake on this side remember that's
where we've got the dual 140 millimeter rad that's acting as an exhaust right
now so i'd go intake on this side then i'd go exhaust here and passive exhaust
out this side and see if that ends up a little bit better that would put hotter
air right around the motherboard though so ah no because the bottom would be an
intake should be fine-ish maybe i hope i
don't know point is it freaking works
let's play some video games uh 4k ultra nightmare everything motion
blur off sound good oh let's turn HDR on yeah i'm really really impressed
king of wing king of wing designs a pretty sick system
shout out to king of wing shout out to our viewers on billybilly.com
yeah see you later buddy what are we getting 200 FPS i mean
yes this game runs on a toaster but not at 200 FPS
it's freaking awesome this system is freaking cool it's so
cool and it's barely even like hot like it was before when you're just playing
games that is so cool one big problem is that
the adhesive does not stick on these
nubbins on the radiator down here just especially when it gets warm it just
goes right off but that's okay because if you were a discerning buyer you'd be
buying from like puget systems or
origin or something so there it is lttstore.com the one and only king of
