1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,040
so this is a funny story i'm having a deja vu moment are you yeah a little bit

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:13,920
a little bit so guys welcome to the hardline build log that uh was doomed

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:18,320
for failure from the very start between bent a little bit too far

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:23,519
bent a little too far it got misshapen and uh you know when that happens at the

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,400
wrong moment trust me awkwardness and pain can ensue so let's go ahead and do

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,960
a quick introduction to the project i'll show you guys the tools we'll be using

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,320
to do your very own hardline system uh so

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:42,719
basically we're running an Intel core i7 5960x octa-core CPU we've got that

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,120
running on an x99 deluxe motherboard from ASUS graphics cards

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,960
we got two 980s which are both heart piped into the system as well and water

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,920
cooled with a couple of blocks from ek water blocks they actually provided all

12
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:59,120
of the water cooling we're powering this sucker with an ax 1500i power supply

13
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,399
because overkill we know it's overkill we could have used

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,760
something half that capacity that would have been just fine

15
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,000
speaking of half that capacity would have been just fine we've got 32 gigs of

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,000
ddr4 memory in there that's dominator platinums what else have we completely

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,040
overdone massive reservoir but i actually like the fact that we have a massive reservoir because topping this

18
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:25,280
thing off is gonna suck and oh right of course all the hardline

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,520
tubing tools so uh it starts with the

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,880
hardline tubing and hardline tubing is important because compared to flexible

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,960
tubing you want one of these

22
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:36,960
or you want one of those

23
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,520
that's awful one of these really thin but yeah one of these uh and it's petg

24
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,600
yes so that's important because petg is

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,720
more is less fragile so it's less prone to breakage and cracking it allows for

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,920
more re-attempts at bends and is just generally much easier to work with it's

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,840
less likely to lose its shape when you're bending it with this fuel line

28
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:03,680
stuff that we'll be using what else we got here oh compression fittings so

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,439
these are special hardline compression fittings um that we'll be using

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,520
throughout the build they're from primo chill they actually sent us a couple different styles we like the knurled

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,120
black ones um gloves are actually surprisingly

32
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,120
important because while you're bending uh the the tubing the petg tubing is

33
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,400
probably gonna be really hot so you're gonna want some kind of gloves you don't need anything too crazy and we got this

34
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:28,080
baby to do the bender yeah do the bender oh wow uh so this is the

35
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,760
uh this is the bend the rigid bender from primo chill the last thing is i

36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,440
guess we've got a saw and uh and the heat gun also extremely important how

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,360
did i forget the heat gun i don't know because you also have to heat up the pg

38
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,239
that's why you need the gloves so that you can bend it around the bender and

39
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,840
maybe size it with the saw so guys this is going to be an absolute blast um i

40
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,840
it's going to kind of start in the middle it was an absolute blast yeah it was a blast because we're done and we've

41
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,360
lost some footage so we're redoing our intro

42
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,360
enjoy

43
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:14,720
fractal design listens and the define r5 case was made with feedback from you the

44
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,120
pc community so click wherever you want

45
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,879
to learn more how about here and here and then it's like

46
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:24,159
step two continued remove the rest of them like okay why don't i just remove them

47
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,760
all right moving the screws part 1a

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,360
yeah sounds like a minus media group video

49
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,879
do this

50
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,840
it's a good thing ek includes enough thermal pads to basically do this twice

51
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,799
so you achieved a hole in a piece of metal in the last uh you know 20 minutes

52
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:15,200
here's what i did not 20 minutes i didn't i've done better cool you're not

53
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,439
done dick

54
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:29,440
hey lined up never got the whole angelina jolie thing

55
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:33,360
um i don't know if i've ever said that on camera before

56
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,360
i'm sure it will oh yeah incite riots yup talented yes

57
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,639
attractive no all right and then it's like

58
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,960
i had kind of a panic moment because ek sent two of the CPU blocks two different

59
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,120
kinds and i kind of went oh they sent two GPU blocks

60
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:54,720
wow i really hope when i asked for two GPU blocks they knew that i meant i

61
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:59,759
wanted matching ones and they were going in the same system they're okay though

62
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,560
okay they're the same so

63
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:05,840
we're getting close to

64
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,320
starting okay there is something that we do still

65
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:16,080
have to do though we have to get this radiator mounted

66
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,039
so that means we have to decide like how that's how that's working

67
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,199
exactly um so the pump wait so the pump

68
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:28,560
is going to take from here oh yeah we gotta drill the holes to mount the reservoir as well okay so we're not

69
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,199
we're not that close to starting and the problem is that that radiator

70
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:37,759
actually has a variety of different holes it can mount to

71
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,919
none of which it can access because you see how this

72
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:48,560
radiator is actually a touch wider than a 120mm fan most rads are flush with the

73
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,039
fan so i actually can't quite get over

74
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,880
far enough this way and quite can't quite get over far enough that way to

75
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,759
hit these mounting holes how about right there

76
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:02,320
you're supposed to see like the alignment and stuff no you're here is

77
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:06,319
that like is it super awful or is it like it's not directly in line yeah i

78
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,240
don't know if we're gonna get that without just doing new holes and like

79
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:14,400
having some places where the where the grill is just there we can't screw it in

80
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:18,160
because it's not like it's gonna feed directly from that we might have some

81
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,639
but it wouldn't be there there wouldn't be any kind of organized system to them

82
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,000
okay so all those spots i marked basically the holes that are there need

83
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:32,639
to be widened okay so i got a ghetto drill

84
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:34,400
or find a bit that's good for it

85
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:38,479
if i'm ghetto drilling no i found a bit that's good for it i think

86
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,360
forget it really then don't film it okay you remember how our genius plan was to

87
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,280
fill up from the top and there's a radiator so no

88
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,960
wait what yeah unless the this is oh no that wasn't the

89
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:52,800
whole we were planning to go through that so i think that's too small i think it was

90
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,639
oh that's not what i was planning to do it's okay it definitely wasn't over here

91
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:02,880
we can come in here though and just go just and just curve it sure

92
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,800
yeah i think i think it'll be fine um

93
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,479
but i believe i believe i can fly

94
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:17,120
wow this has never been opened i believe i can touch the sky

95
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120
i think about

96
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,639
i think this is gonna work but this will come out at a bit of an angle but it might be okay because it's gonna come

97
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:30,639
out at this angle and then go up to the CPU so i think

98
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:34,319
we should be golden as long as there are no clearance issues with the

99
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:39,360
graphics cards where are they oh but then we were doing our test fit

100
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,240
with um freaking air coolers on

101
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:46,240
there's a drill bit here my ocd is uh really angry i legitimately went and

102
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,400
bought a whole new set of that after whole room water cooling because people

103
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:54,560
lost a couple of the pieces from it so that is now officially the LMG set with

104
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:59,520
its missing pieces that will make me crazy if i have to look at them you want

105
00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:02,400
to like hold it for me sure

106
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,400
can brandon watch

107
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,639
i mean like i guess if he's into that

108
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:14,319
so he's into that okay we should do this outside though i

109
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:32,279
think because you got to take it out to do those um the dremel thing anyway

110
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,080
yeah it's like a disaster down there

111
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:43,839
well i i was given a cutting edge i know that's fine minus media group push

112
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,279
forward with no regard for the consequences

113
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,310
these are just grabbing the edge if i was going to do this somewhat properly i'd definitely put washers on them

114
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,240
because these went a little deep

115
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,440
really dusty motherboard wow

116
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,040
that's what happens when it sits on a test bench i guess

117
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,240
so interference issue is gone

118
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,320
all right

119
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:22,959
all right i'm feeling good okay cool

120
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:27,120
where did the power supply go so i'm

121
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:32,160
gonna put in the power supply i was thinking maybe i would

122
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:37,200
uh oh one of them uh yep

123
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:41,200
okay push push push yeah okay good

124
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:45,920
make our final decision you want to do black and white or clear

125
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:49,360
clear would work pretty well and the res is going to be clear we can't color it

126
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,200
so the res is going to look kind of out of place

127
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,040
these don't look the same okay now i'm a little worried

128
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:00,080
is one of these like uv blue or something

129
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:04,480
you know what let's go for let's go for the home run

130
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,320
swing because the black and white thing is going to either look really cool or

131
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:16,040
super dumb yeah let's go for the home run swing

132
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,040
ah hold still you bastard

133
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,600
whoa put that up against there

134
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:27,200
and oh i don't and

135
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,959
90 degrees ish oh okay that's not quite

136
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,360
so then you just hold it until it hardens our very first bend

137
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,279
okay well here i'll i'll chat with you

138
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:49,200
so we are deeply worried about having enough tubing because primo

139
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,600
chill bless their hearts sent us one stick of each color maybe they intended

140
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:56,399
to send it to us just as a sample so we could then tell them what color we

141
00:10:54,959 --> 00:10:59,760
wanted to do this project and they could send us a whack of it

142
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,839
because we have zero room for error if we have enough

143
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:09,279
tubing at all and we're not sure which of those is the answer right now

144
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:14,320
so um we're thinking

145
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:19,120
we're thinking a white run here which is going to be like

146
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:23,279
half or more of the rest of our white oops

147
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,640
okay so like kind of there to there

148
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:31,279
then we're thinking

149
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:33,519
uh this is gonna have to go to here

150
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:36,160
and that'll have to be black this one

151
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:41,120
will be white which will use up pretty much the rest of our white

152
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:45,760
not a whole lot of room for error and then this one

153
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,760
will be

154
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,519
black down to here and then this one over here will be

155
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,399
black as well and i think we're gonna just make it

156
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,600
let's put that in yep uh clean off the marks with isopropyl first if you don't

157
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,600
mind that's alcohol it's not taking it off no

158
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,880
that came off these came off it's the heat aw crap

159
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,399
and now i don't have my damn marks you know how you leave it off

160
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:20,240
oh my goodness i just went the wrong way on it

161
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:23,120
holy crap that was close okay can you just

162
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,880
wow i am like no

163
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,959
i didn't put the thing in see how the

164
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:37,120
my pressure from the bend is really makes it really flat here yeah i figured

165
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:42,480
out how to do it more like that so what you gotta do is you gotta heat

166
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,760
up the rest of it so that's the least

167
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,959
soft part so then when you press it against it it bends more pulls that makes sense yeah

168
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:55,279
and it doesn't dent into it so much oh no it's ugly

169
00:12:53,839 --> 00:13:00,000
it's hideous oh come on

170
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,200
i don't think so i cut it already

171
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,959
right yep people are going to see this video and

172
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:10,880
they're going to be like well if these idiots can do it maybe that's the point

173
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,959
of Linus tech tips all right should we fill this sucker

174
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,079
yeah man all right so we've got our fitting up there

175
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,279
no no everything's okay i think i thought i saw something dripping i've

176
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,839
got some half inch tubing up here that's going to take a while it's going

177
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:28,240
to take a really long time

178
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:31,760
so what's cool too about this hard pipe tubing

179
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:36,480
is that its inner diameter is very small so the actual amount of liquid in the

180
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:41,839
loop is not very much a total volume yeah it's going to be like radiators and

181
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,839
reservoir basically

182
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,320
and just stop

183
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:57,839
okay that's not that bad we did all right

184
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,959
yeah okay hold on okay

185
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:06,800
you got the weight and i'll do the maneuvering some kind of like bearish

186
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,480
there we go and

187
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,000
i got it that was fun that was really fun that

188
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:17,279
was actually that was really fun we learned a lot um i think thing number one that i

189
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:21,440
learned is that two two things of piping

190
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:26,959
is like not enough no margin for error in a case this size

191
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,639
if you guys are gonna do a hard line build because it looked like long runs

192
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:35,199
in a big case i think if you got a single color get three yeah yeah yeah um

193
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,519
and then if you want to do a two-tone thing like us then

194
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:44,959
like four yeah i'd probably say one of each two of each color sorry i mean

195
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,880
jeffy made it but jeffy we probably would have put him down if we'd had the

196
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:52,399
option to redo jeffy we probably would have so so that's something that you

197
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,399
want to build into your your bill of materials um the other thing i think i

198
00:14:54,320 --> 00:15:01,680
took away from this is that i wouldn't recommend a hardline tubing

199
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:07,040
system for your first water cooled build um softer softer tubing is way easier to

200
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:11,519
work with like you just kind of and it's about like that

201
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,680
if it's too long it's fine whatever so so there's a lot more room for error

202
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,920
even for people who are experienced water coolers i i still wouldn't do this

203
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:24,959
personally like because for me i can do a graphics card swap on my liquid cool

204
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,399
build in like 10 minutes this you are

205
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:30,959
definitely draining most of your loop if not all of it you

206
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:35,839
are definitely redoing some bends it's it's a lot more work but

207
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,839
i think the result justifies it it looks absolutely stunning so if you were

208
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,959
someone who maybe you're not even building for yourself where you're going to be doing frequent upgrades

209
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:49,279
or something yeah i think it makes the production values of the system look

210
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,560
way better because i mean this isn't that this is

211
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,360
definitely one of my favorite builds that i've ever done or been involved in

212
00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:00,639
like what would be better the the only ones

213
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:04,560
like together i'd say the mineral oil build it's behind me still i really

214
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,959
liked that build yep um but like for a more standard computer

215
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:14,000
this is probably my favorite or if not my second i think

216
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,320
that my overkill build guide that red one i did in the 900d with like five

217
00:16:16,079 --> 00:16:22,160
radiators and all the Noctua fans and like all that stuff i think that still

218
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:27,199
takes it whereas but this one even though it's not like it's almost as

219
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:30,399
high-end costs way less yeah and actually looks cleaner

220
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,320
looks cleaner overall that one i just loved for the just sheer ridiculousness

221
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:38,320
overdone this i can't even move red i couldn't even move it five radiators

222
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:43,040
so um yeah great build lots of fun i hope you

223
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,399
guys enjoyed it as much as we did but i am like super hungry

224
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:52,639
so if we've been happy all day how long are we at this total nine hours probably oh

225
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,639
yeah it must have been just as painful for whoever was shooting it and editing

226
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,600
it thanks by the way yeah editing is gonna be a nightmare so guys thanks for

227
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,920
watching like this video if you liked it dislike it if you thought it just plain sucked leave a comment on the forum

or with us about this build blog and all that good stuff um as always also linked

230
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,760
in the video description is a place where you can buy a cool t-shirt like this one

231
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,280
like for once could you wear a Linus tech t-shirt i told him all he has to do

232
00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:23,280
is order them i'll reimburse him for them it doesn't order the t-shirts

233
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:27,839
that's true you did do that um also linked in the video description is a place where you

234
