WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:13.920
a little bit so guys welcome to the hardline build log that uh was doomed

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:18.320
for failure from the very start between bent a little bit too far

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

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:28.400
wrong moment trust me awkwardness and pain can ensue so let's go ahead and do

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

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.320
to do your very own hardline system uh so

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:42.719
basically we're running an Intel core i7 5960x octa-core CPU we've got that

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.120
running on an x99 deluxe motherboard from ASUS graphics cards

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.960
we got two 980s which are both heart piped into the system as well and water

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.920
cooled with a couple of blocks from ek water blocks they actually provided all

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:59.120
of the water cooling we're powering this sucker with an ax 1500i power supply

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.399
because overkill we know it's overkill we could have used

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.760
something half that capacity that would have been just fine

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:10.000
speaking of half that capacity would have been just fine we've got 32 gigs of

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:14.000
ddr4 memory in there that's dominator platinums what else have we completely

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

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:25.280
thing off is gonna suck and oh right of course all the hardline

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:27.520
tubing tools so uh it starts with the

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.880
hardline tubing and hardline tubing is important because compared to flexible

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.960
tubing you want one of these

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:36.960
or you want one of those

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

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:47.600
yes so that's important because petg is

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:52.720
more is less fragile so it's less prone to breakage and cracking it allows for

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.920
more re-attempts at bends and is just generally much easier to work with it's

00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.840
less likely to lose its shape when you're bending it with this fuel line

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.680
stuff that we'll be using what else we got here oh compression fittings so

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.439
these are special hardline compression fittings um that we'll be using

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

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:15.120
black ones um gloves are actually surprisingly

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.120
important because while you're bending uh the the tubing the petg tubing is

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

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.080
baby to do the bender yeah do the bender oh wow uh so this is the

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.760
uh this is the bend the rigid bender from primo chill the last thing is i

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:35.440
guess we've got a saw and uh and the heat gun also extremely important how

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

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

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

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

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:58.360
lost some footage so we're redoing our intro

00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.360
enjoy

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:14.720
fractal design listens and the define r5 case was made with feedback from you the

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.120
pc community so click wherever you want

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.879
to learn more how about here and here and then it's like

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

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:27.760
all right moving the screws part 1a

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.360
yeah sounds like a minus media group video

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:37.879
do this

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.840
it's a good thing ek includes enough thermal pads to basically do this twice

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

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

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:17.439
done dick

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:29.440
hey lined up never got the whole angelina jolie thing

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.360
um i don't know if i've ever said that on camera before

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.360
i'm sure it will oh yeah incite riots yup talented yes

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.639
attractive no all right and then it's like

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

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.120
kinds and i kind of went oh they sent two GPU blocks

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

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.759
wanted matching ones and they were going in the same system they're okay though

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:04.560
okay they're the same so

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:05.840
we're getting close to

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.320
starting okay there is something that we do still

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:16.080
have to do though we have to get this radiator mounted

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:19.039
so that means we have to decide like how that's how that's working

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:23.199
exactly um so the pump wait so the pump

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

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:33.199
we're not that close to starting and the problem is that that radiator

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:37.759
actually has a variety of different holes it can mount to

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.919
none of which it can access because you see how this

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:48.560
radiator is actually a touch wider than a 120mm fan most rads are flush with the

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:51.039
fan so i actually can't quite get over

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.880
far enough this way and quite can't quite get over far enough that way to

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:57.759
hit these mounting holes how about right there

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.320
you're supposed to see like the alignment and stuff no you're here is

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

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:10.240
don't know if we're gonna get that without just doing new holes and like

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

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:18.160
because it's not like it's gonna feed directly from that we might have some

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

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:26.000
okay so all those spots i marked basically the holes that are there need

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:32.639
to be widened okay so i got a ghetto drill

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:34.400
or find a bit that's good for it

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

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

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.280
fill up from the top and there's a radiator so no

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.960
wait what yeah unless the this is oh no that wasn't the

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

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

00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:02.880
we can come in here though and just go just and just curve it sure

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:04.800
yeah i think i think it'll be fine um

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:08.479
but i believe i believe i can fly

00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:17.120
wow this has never been opened i believe i can touch the sky

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.120
i think about

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

00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:30.639
out at this angle and then go up to the CPU so i think

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.319
we should be golden as long as there are no clearance issues with the

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:39.360
graphics cards where are they oh but then we were doing our test fit

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.240
with um freaking air coolers on

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:46.240
there's a drill bit here my ocd is uh really angry i legitimately went and

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:50.400
bought a whole new set of that after whole room water cooling because people

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

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

00:07:55.919 --> 00:08:02.400
to like hold it for me sure

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:02.400
can brandon watch

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:10.639
i mean like i guess if he's into that

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:14.319
so he's into that okay we should do this outside though i

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:32.279
think because you got to take it out to do those um the dremel thing anyway

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:40.080
yeah it's like a disaster down there

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

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:47.279
forward with no regard for the consequences

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

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.240
because these went a little deep

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.440
really dusty motherboard wow

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:05.040
that's what happens when it sits on a test bench i guess

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:09.240
so interference issue is gone

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:12.320
all right

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:22.959
all right i'm feeling good okay cool

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:27.120
where did the power supply go so i'm

00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:32.160
gonna put in the power supply i was thinking maybe i would

00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:37.200
uh oh one of them uh yep

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:41.200
okay push push push yeah okay good

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:45.920
make our final decision you want to do black and white or clear

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

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:53.200
so the res is going to look kind of out of place

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:57.040
these don't look the same okay now i'm a little worried

00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:00.080
is one of these like uv blue or something

00:09:58.959 --> 00:10:04.480
you know what let's go for let's go for the home run

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:08.320
swing because the black and white thing is going to either look really cool or

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:16.040
super dumb yeah let's go for the home run swing

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.040
ah hold still you bastard

00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:23.600
whoa put that up against there

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:27.200
and oh i don't and

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.959
90 degrees ish oh okay that's not quite

00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:37.360
so then you just hold it until it hardens our very first bend

00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:43.279
okay well here i'll i'll chat with you

00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:49.200
so we are deeply worried about having enough tubing because primo

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:53.600
chill bless their hearts sent us one stick of each color maybe they intended

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

00:10:54.959 --> 00:10:59.760
wanted to do this project and they could send us a whack of it

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.839
because we have zero room for error if we have enough

00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:09.279
tubing at all and we're not sure which of those is the answer right now

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:14.320
so um we're thinking

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:19.120
we're thinking a white run here which is going to be like

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:23.279
half or more of the rest of our white oops

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.640
okay so like kind of there to there

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:31.279
then we're thinking

00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:33.519
uh this is gonna have to go to here

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:36.160
and that'll have to be black this one

00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:41.120
will be white which will use up pretty much the rest of our white

00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:45.760
not a whole lot of room for error and then this one

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.760
will be

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:51.519
black down to here and then this one over here will be

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.399
black as well and i think we're gonna just make it

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

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:05.600
mind that's alcohol it's not taking it off no

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.880
that came off these came off it's the heat aw crap

00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:16.399
and now i don't have my damn marks you know how you leave it off

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:20.240
oh my goodness i just went the wrong way on it

00:12:17.839 --> 00:12:23.120
holy crap that was close okay can you just

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:28.880
wow i am like no

00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:32.959
i didn't put the thing in see how the

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:37.120
my pressure from the bend is really makes it really flat here yeah i figured

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

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.760
up the rest of it so that's the least

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

00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:55.279
and it doesn't dent into it so much oh no it's ugly

00:12:53.839 --> 00:13:00.000
it's hideous oh come on

00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.200
i don't think so i cut it already

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:06.959
right yep people are going to see this video and

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

00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:14.959
of Linus tech tips all right should we fill this sucker

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:18.079
yeah man all right so we've got our fitting up there

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:21.279
no no everything's okay i think i thought i saw something dripping i've

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

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:28.240
to take a really long time

00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:31.760
so what's cool too about this hard pipe tubing

00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:36.480
is that its inner diameter is very small so the actual amount of liquid in the

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

00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:41.839
reservoir basically

00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:49.320
and just stop

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:57.839
okay that's not that bad we did all right

00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:00.959
yeah okay hold on okay

00:13:58.880 --> 00:14:06.800
you got the weight and i'll do the maneuvering some kind of like bearish

00:14:03.760 --> 00:14:08.480
there we go and

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:12.000
i got it that was fun that was really fun that

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

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:21.440
learned is that two two things of piping

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:26.959
is like not enough no margin for error in a case this size

00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:30.639
if you guys are gonna do a hard line build because it looked like long runs

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

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:39.519
and then if you want to do a two-tone thing like us then

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

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

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.399
option to redo jeffy we probably would have so so that's something that you

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:56.399
want to build into your your bill of materials um the other thing i think i

00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:01.680
took away from this is that i wouldn't recommend a hardline tubing

00:14:59.199 --> 00:15:07.040
system for your first water cooled build um softer softer tubing is way easier to

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:11.519
work with like you just kind of and it's about like that

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

00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:19.920
even for people who are experienced water coolers i i still wouldn't do this

00:15:17.839 --> 00:15:24.959
personally like because for me i can do a graphics card swap on my liquid cool

00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:26.399
build in like 10 minutes this you are

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:30.959
definitely draining most of your loop if not all of it you

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:35.839
are definitely redoing some bends it's it's a lot more work but

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:39.839
i think the result justifies it it looks absolutely stunning so if you were

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

00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:49.279
or something yeah i think it makes the production values of the system look

00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:52.560
way better because i mean this isn't that this is

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:57.360
definitely one of my favorite builds that i've ever done or been involved in

00:15:55.199 --> 00:16:00.639
like what would be better the the only ones

00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:04.560
like together i'd say the mineral oil build it's behind me still i really

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:08.959
liked that build yep um but like for a more standard computer

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:14.000
this is probably my favorite or if not my second i think

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.320
that my overkill build guide that red one i did in the 900d with like five

00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:22.160
radiators and all the Noctua fans and like all that stuff i think that still

00:16:20.079 --> 00:16:27.199
takes it whereas but this one even though it's not like it's almost as

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:30.399
high-end costs way less yeah and actually looks cleaner

00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:34.320
looks cleaner overall that one i just loved for the just sheer ridiculousness

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:38.320
overdone this i can't even move red i couldn't even move it five radiators

00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:43.040
so um yeah great build lots of fun i hope you

00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:46.399
guys enjoyed it as much as we did but i am like super hungry

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

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:56.639
yeah it must have been just as painful for whoever was shooting it and editing

00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:59.600
it thanks by the way yeah editing is gonna be a nightmare so guys thanks for

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

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

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

00:17:17.919 --> 00:17:23.280
is order them i'll reimburse him for them it doesn't order the t-shirts

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:27.839
