1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,920
so you've outfitted your rig with the highest end components your bank account

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,920
can handle and you're pushing out more frames than an art gallery but it looks

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,480
like your system could use a little bit more pop and that's when it hits you a

4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:20,840
custom water cooling Loop is exactly what you're missing but what do you

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,600
actually need well first up is tubing

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:29,400
it's not going to work very well without that pretty much any kind of tubing will

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,079
work 3/8 in and 1/2 in inner diameter

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,840
tubing are the most common but don't go to the local Home Depot and buy the

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,399
cheap clear vinyl stuff that's on the Shelf it will Kink when you make tight

10
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:45,559
bends in between components and can stiffen and change color over time which

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,680
looks groy and can actually make leaks more likely to develop at the fittings

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:56,320
the metal that is to say if you're smart adapters between the usually G1 qu

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:02,359
threads on your components and your tubing not to mention that PC water

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,840
cooling tubing has more Pizzazz and some

15
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:07,880
even has antimicrobial properties though

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:13,400
if you really want your build to pop Hardline tubing is also available in

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:17,119
acrylic and the preferred petg flavors

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,360
for a super clean and Slick look just be

19
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:26,079
prepared to spend more money on like tools and stuff and to deal with having

20
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,079
to bend and measure your runs super

21
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:32,479
accurately oh and you won't be using standard barbs either because line

22
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:36,200
tubing requires its own special type of compression fittings so that's a lot of

23
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,920
guidance about tubing but what about all the other stuff the pump moves liquid

24
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:45,960
through the system and the spec that many newcomers get hung up on is the

25
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:49,640
flow rate the conventional wisdom suggests you'll want a flow rate of at

26
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:55,560
least one gallon per minute to decrease turbulence in the water but as you add

27
00:01:53,119 --> 00:02:00,399
components to the loop it's actually the head pressure rating that makes the

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,159
bigger difference bottom line from my

29
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:10,720
experience anything but a lang D5 or some variant thereof is a compromise on

30
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:13,239
to blocks these sit on hot components

31
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,920
transferring heat to the cooling fluid you'll find an incredible variety out

32
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:22,840
there some are made of aluminum because it's cheap and easy to work with avoid

33
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:28,120
those because mixing incompatible Metals in a loop can cause nasty corrosion over

34
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,519
time even with anti-corrosion additives

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,760
and most quality components are made of copper thanks to its better conductive

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,920
properties which doesn't necessarily mean though that you're stuck with that

37
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:42,519
copper color nickel silver and gold

38
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:47,120
plating have all been done with mostly good results and they look great through

39
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:51,519
a see-through plexy toop so you can gawk at your coolant flowing through the

40
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:56,840
block now though you can get water blocks for hard drives ssds RAM and your

41
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,319
motherboard someone actually made a power supply block at one point if I

42
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:05,440
recall correctly these are really only for show or for an extremely silent

43
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:10,319
build where there will be next to no airf flow to cool those components

44
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:16,159
otherwise the main heavy lifters are the CPU and the GPU blocks for the CPU

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,200
honestly it's pretty straight forward these days a socket compatible option

46
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:28,239
from any of these companies will pretty much do the trick but video cards are a

47
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:31,239
little tougher don't just buy a GTX 1080

48
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,439
block expecting it to work on every 1080

49
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:39,720
that's out there the vast majority of video card blocks these days cover the

50
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,760
GPU the surrounding RAM and even the vrm

51
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:47,439
whose layout can differ dramatically from one manufacturer to the next

52
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,239
reference or Founders edition cards are

53
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:54,360
typically the easiest to find blocks for but there are some exceptions the

54
00:03:52,079 --> 00:03:59,760
reservoir is the fill point of the system and it also holds extra fluid to

55
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:05,360
combat natural evaporation over time time Reservoir options are sometimes an

56
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:10,280
aesthetic Choice 5 and 1/4 in Bay reservoirs used to be in Vogue but tube

57
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:15,319
reses are very popular these days and other times a purely practical decision

58
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:19,239
Swift xmc res micro doesn't look like anything special but was about the only

59
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:24,240
thing that would fit in some of the systems that I've built just make sure

60
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:29,960
you put it immediately before the pump in the loop and don't try to use a tiny

61
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:34,600
Reservoir with a super strong pump that stirs up air and puts it back into the

62
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,000
loop making it noisy if you don't feel like playing Labyrinth with your

63
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:44,320
computer to get air bubbles out of your blocks finally the radiator or radiators

64
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:49,479
these along with some attached fans transfer the heat from the fluid to the

65
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:54,039
surrounding air the larger the better though you'll want to make sure that you

66
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:58,320
mount static pressure optimized fans that can move air efficiently through

67
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:02,440
the tight cooling fins and you can learn more about static pressure fan

68
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:07,919
in this video this is especially important if you're getting radiators

69
00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:11,280
with high fin density so 20 or more fins

70
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:13,360
per inch more fins means greater cooling

71
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,039
potential but it also means more turbulence and that you'll need a fan

72
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:23,160
that can force enough air through them so more noise you can learn more about

73
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,440
radiators here which leads us then to

74
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:33,720
the bottom line is any of this really worth it well CPU performance isn't to

75
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:37,680
change much but gpus can drop an excess

76
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:40,080
of 20° and a custom Loop is a more

77
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:44,960
elegant way of adding multiple components to a water cooling system

78
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:51,240
than multiple closed loop coolers the most people do it more for looks or for

79
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,680
silence these days speaking of for looks
