EK has this same kit. stick with theirs. Corsair Leaks.

This kit is almost double the price a comparable kit would be from EKWB. Waste of money.

same, only thing i had to buy was the 3080 waterblock and extra 45 and 90 degree fittings

Same, it was soft tubing whith the EK-QUANTUM POWER KIT D-RGB P360, but otherwise all was in the box. Pretty easy. Jay could have said a word about them because it's some very good materials

@@jeanbesnier535 cant bring up EK if corsair sponsored the video bruh, lmao He's done builds with EK stuff before if i remember right

@@YikToChan Besides being a sponsored video, Jay has a partnership with Corsair, so he obviously will completely ignore the existence of any other products of the same category (I think Thermalfake had these kits for sale for at least the last decade).

Same, Alphacool Hurricane Box 🤗

He has a video from a few months back where he does an all Corsair water cool build

@@TheHuskinator Just for another content ideea and another RU-vid video from him. Because we like to see him. Why not redo that clip. : D

I'm saying like EK don't exist or something?

So has Thermal Take and no name cheap chinese companies.

Calm down man I highly doubt he gone come to your cookout

Alphacool has been doing it for years. Alphacool Eissturm Hurricane, with a number indicating what size radiator is included. Corsair kit includes a commander, Alphacool has a much better pump/res.

@@Grimmwoldds neato, I've been out of PC Building for about ten to twelve years. I've been doing a ton of catch up while working on my new rig lol. Thanks for the heads up bud.

It may be worth doing a soft tubing setup first. It would be much less intimidating and you can really plan out your runs. Then when you are feeling like the challenge you would just need new fittings and the hardline tubing. I hadn't done a water loop since around 2003 and when I did my first hardline tubing last month I probably spent a month or two moving rads and the distro around to get it just right for the runs to actually work.

I've done quite a few, they arn't worth it. CPU sockets change, GPU's change. You can't reuse the old GPU blocks. So they won't fit upgrades. sGo ahead built a new loop on a 5900x and a 3080 or 6800XT, you will regret it.

EKWB will put together a custom kit for YOUR system. Not this grab bag of crap from Corsair.

Not for the price. It's almost double what you would pay from a company like EKWB or Bitspower.

yeah i was building with their kits several years ago

Jay just constantly shilling for Corsair these days. I wish someone else would sponsor him. He is in business so I don't blame him for it, but this is just the worst brand in the PC arena and having people like Jay push their stuff just means more unsuspecting viewers buy their stuff. This particular kit is decent (its bitspower gear) but the price is a joke like all corsair products (except their PSU's).

A mandrel is the part that provides internal support to prevent the tubing from collapsing. That's why, to borrow Jay's example, automotive exhaust tubing is broadly divided into "mandrel-bent" and "crush-bent". The actual benders are generally quite similar, sometimes even identical. tl;dr Jay's correct.

@@Azlehria You are correct, for automotive and industrial applications, the mandrel is different. In the world of PC custom water cooling, the silicone bending insert is not referred to as a mandrel. Never has. If you search online for waterrcooling specific parts for a "mandrel for pc water cooling", you will see this. I'm not saying you are wrong in what you replied, at all. Just does not apply to PC custom loops.

@@Antykain The name "mandrel" has been applied in English for over 300 years to a broad category of internal tooling that's existed in some form a least since ancient Egypt. The _recent_ misapplication, presumably from ignorance, by users in a single industry, to a complementary external tool, is simply an error.

water resistance is futile

EK has an entire lineup of kits like this, and they have for several years. i built with my first one of their kits back when ryzen 1000 series came out.

@@ghomerhustThey've had kits for close to 20yrs.

Thought the same thing but after a quick survey I couldn't find one with cutting and bending tools, or they just weren't listed. Some had angle fittings, others soft tube cutters, but in the end it might be a case of bad marketing.

Thermaltake does a few

Hey Scott, great observation! We definitely have a few kits! 😃

@Pinnedby JayzTwoCents No, YOU text me.

zackly

actually did my first loop with their PE 360 kit , then few months later got another radiator and block for GPU plus random fittings and added it to the system. then swapped out the loop layout about a year later and have extra parts now 😂

so has corsair lol and a ton of other companies. This is just the "New" kit, and he partners with them so... "Hey lookie shiny new things!"

@@deminybs in my country (Brasil) it's hard to find good watercooling products, we don't see a good variety on the market, but one or two stores were selling this exact same kit that you got, it's a little expensive compared to AIOs but very handy and trustable

Been using an ek 280 rad kit for years now.

Koolance 👍

Now thats a blast from the past. My first kit was an Asetek kit, long before they went down the AIO route. That was about 2001/2 ish.

@@malphadour My buddy came into some money and wanted a watercooled PC, so we went down to Fry's and bought a Koolance PC2-601 in blue, an Intel Pentium 4, and an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. The Koolance case came with everything needed to cool the CPU: pump, rad, fans, water block, tubes, coolant, and it was mostly pre-assembled. Easiest watercooled build I ever did!

@Teamgeist oh I am so terribly sorry for not being familiar with the metric system and saying it how it's displayed on the packaging! I'll try to be more "normal" for you in the future. How dare I not live up to your perfect standards.

EK have had kits for 6 or 7 years.

you got the same damn spam bot in you're comment as me

The one practical benefit that you can get is noise. Especially if you include the GPU in the loop. Those GPU fans are louder than you realize.

Just don't buy this overpriced kit. And if it's going to be a showcase system, go with a distro plate/pump combo. My current loop has an EKWB distro plate/pump combo and it's about 1/2 the price of this kit.

This kit is insanely overpriced. You can get a soft tubing kit from EKWB wit a thick 360 rad for $250. If you want hard tubing, you can typically get all the custom parts for about $350. I'd heavily, heavily avoid anything Corsair iCue related, it's absolutely dreadful.

I did a custom loop on my machine last year, it's literally been running 24/7 for the past 14 months now with zero maintenance. It's due for a coolant flush and dusting, but it's not like it requires that much maintenance.

OOOh, I had an XSPC Rasa in my my last loop - really good block.

They've been making kits for closer to 20yrs.

Alphacool and Phobya also have kits for many years .

They dont have hard tube kits, atleast when i bought my first kit about 7 years ago from EK, they didnt have hard tube kits and they didnt have it 2 years later when i bought my 2nd kit. I guess that's why it's "new". IMO not that many customers for a hard tube kit, it just doesnt make any sense

You can buy kits from EK which are better quality and significantly cheaper. They have been selling them for a long time.

Hopefully in the future fans can use one cable to get power to fan and rgb and not have to deal with so many cables

@@maxcarrasco260 all fans should have the daisy chain system of Lian Li or the new Arctic fans

A lot more expensive and Jay has very little to no soldering skills. (his own admission in a few GPU shunt mod videos) But you are correct. Nifty devices to have!

@@crisnmaryfam7344 kinda my point - the only way he's ever going to have any soldering skills is getting the gear and having a go. And its a tool that seems like it would make his literal primary job easier for a couple hundred bucks for a decent one..... you seen the price of lights and cameras? tiny investment for anyone in a remotely related profession. And in terms of his viewership - most of us are gonnas find a soldering station something we want at some point, given you can get a cheap POS fan in handle one for $20 vs the $15 air gun..... i dunno, seems like a no brainer. But he's the guy that bends tubes for a living/peoples entertainment and i'm an engineering tech who swears by good air cooling (& has been doing interesting builds be they OC or bling for 25 years), so i'd like to actually see his take, if theres a changed technique, is it any use?

Corsair would need to pay him extra though 😉

While I laughed at Caio's comment (cause it is true), he technically already has. This is really just a pre packaged box of corsairs normal water cooling parts, everything in it you can buy individually, and he has definitely done more than one corsair water cooling build now.

You could've bought something from EKWB, using their configurator, and saved almost 50%. This kit is a hot ripoff.

@@atheisthumanist1964 Bullshit. Just did the configurator and it puts the price at $570. I paid $375. More like spend twice as much not saved half as much. Please tell me how that's a ripoff.

Ummmm I don't know where you live but he's not wrong. In the USA I could buy everything in this kit and a GPU block for a similar price from other competitors. this kit is a rip off and its definitely marketed to people who don't know any better which is why they think they can charge $600 dollars for this kit. Remember this is a sponsored video Jay makes money off this and its pretty much just a 10 minute add that Corsair paid Jay for so they could reach his millions of subscribers. It doesn't mean it's a good value and I don't know where you purchased this kit for $375, I can't find that deal anywhere online the price I see is $549 to $599 just about everywhere.

@@DieDae You're full of it. There's no way comparable parts are more expensive from EK. Point in fact. My current loop is about 1/2 the price, has a distro plate/pump combo, nickel block, black nickel fittings, 480 res, 2 140 500-2000 PWM fans, tubing, and a drain plug. All EKWB. And you didn't buy this kit for that price.

yes, a drain port is always good lol, didn't put one in on first custom loop and it sucked draining it 😂

@@deminybs It really does suck without the drain, I remember like 8 years ago I was completly holding my PC upside down in the air to drain it lol

@@2020Tech4U But even with a drain valve you need to do that? I mean, water gets stuck everywhere until you tilt or lift your pc.

@@gambino883 Your correct you cannot drain 100% liquid with a drain unless you introduce air, I will remove a tube and blow air through it until it gets to a safe level to remove whatever I was removing. I did a video on draining if your interested just go to my channel and you'll see it. Just remember I'm no Jay lol But I have been into PC building since the mid 80's growing up in a home with a Vietnam vet who built computers in the Army so it was a must learn lol

Yeah, not including a drain seems like a bit of an oversight. I've done 2 custom builds and both have dedicated drains with a valve. Nice to be able to just put it on the counter next to the sink and let it drain itself.

Don't consider this kit if you do take the plunge. It's almost $600 US/1200 Canadian, my custom loop, that includes a distro plate/pump combo, is 1/2 the price. If you need help planning a loop, use the EKWB configurator. It asks you about your case, hardware and what level cooling you want, picks the parts and put them into it's own kit. Cheaper, and better quality.

@@atheisthumanist1964 Just need to copy and paste your comment to everyone on here who doesn't know about EK's superior and much better priced kits. It saddens me that Jay puts so much business Corsairs way.

yes he did, he knows, hes just shilling for a company, this is a commercial nothing more

Its actually far easier to go to EK. They even have a make your own kit configurator.

Correct, the EK-KIT H30 was launched in 2010. 😉

I thought Corsair was using EK stuff but just rebranded?

@@gambino883 I think it's a Hardware Labs rebrand if I remember correctly.

*First I’ve heard of these kits to be honest. Lol* 😆😂🤣😜

@@qNepo *$259.99 on Amazon U.S. now.*

@@jeffdavis5723 Not for this kit it isn't. Double that and add $100.

I'm assuming that you've had a non water cooled build before, and I'm curious about the level of maintenance that is required with a water-cooling loop vs just your standard build (aio, or aircooler). I'm just looking to venture into water cooling, and am worried about some of the potential downsides of water-cooling. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

@@Byfils AIO's doesnt require any maintenance at all. It will just keep run forever. Or until i breaks or something. Same thing goes with air cooling. You need to remove the dust from the radiator/fans every once in a while but that's pretty much it. With custom watercooling, you're recommended to change the fluid AT LEAST once a year, based on the quality of it. Using colored liquid generally affects your components a lot more than clear fluid. People seem to get a lot more issues running liquids with color in them. Run AIO if you want watercooling without maintenance. Run custom watercooling if you really want a unique look to you build, as well as more customization options.

@@Byfils Custom water cooling system is part of the hobby :) Your PC will do fine with air cooling, with AIO you will be able to push your CPU more, but you must trust chineese in terms of this tiny pump reliability :))) And if you want to push your PC for many years to come, have super silent system, save your active components healthy with lower temps, custom loop is way to go. Some good D5 pump, properly selected radiators and full cover water blocks cannot be matched by AIO. Pros: Silent, best cooling possible (with good water blocks), looks cool :) Cons: Expensive, requires good understanding of fluid and thermal dynamics to setup it properly, needs maintenance (radiators, buildup in blocks, coolant replacement. Do your study, there are plenty of guides, Jayz has a lot of videos on water cooling. I suggest you to do first build with flexible tubing. EKWB water blocks, fittings and good pump/reservoir combo. It's very fun, like a lego, but you need to do your study :)

You dropped $600 on this? You could've ran your hardware and case through EKWB's configurator and got a comparable kit for about 1/2 the price and anything RGB not tied to Corsair's garbage proprietary software.

Black Friday sale I got it for $450. All RGB is Corsair ique.

​@@c0rbitt That's still about $150 too much. Well aware of their software, and it's garbage.

if you buy pieces separately you can get something better than Corsair for starters ... also buy EXACTLY what you need instead of hoping that what you get in the box is going to fit in your PC ...

@@Asghaad pretty sure that’s why there’s no gpu block. The rest looks like it would fit anything. Perhaps the reservoir may be too tall.

@@shawnbretthauer Umm..what ? You didnt get it at all. And btw EKWB CPU/GPU combo kit goes for 900€ and that's a soft tube kit. It's a very stupid idea anyway that's why it's pricey

EK still has their quantum line kits

They do have pre packaged kits. They cost less too.

I bought the EK P360 kit a while ago for my first custom loop build. It was an exceptionally simple experience, even when I wanted to bodge in an unconventional mount.

EK has loads of kits - they have been doing them for years - and they will be way cheaper than this and some parts will be better quality (the stuff in the corsair kit is decent, just stupidly overpriced as usual)

Hey Corey! We just wanted to drop by to say we appreciate the support! If you will have any doubts when picking your parts, make sure to reach out to us!

Agreed on all of the above. EK makes a pretty nice and cheap leak tester that worked well for my build. One thing that I bought that helped was a lubrication kit for my fittings (came free with an order I made). I'm using bitspower fittings and they seem to be a little more difficult to get the tubing in vs. EK or Corsair due to the double o-ring design vs. single. I also bought a few pre-bent 90 degree tubes as I didn't want to deal with using a heat gun (using a distro plate so just needed one 90 degree bend per tube).

yolo

It's just extra, you don't need them. Well, drain valve might be the most useful and must have thing from your list. But flow meter and leak tester are pointless. But then again i remember when my gaming friend wanted to change air cooler to aio water cooler. He didnt want to change it himself but i said why would you pay for this easy job just do it yourself and its fun to get it done by yourself and it really isnt that hard. It took him 2 days + a broken motherboard or CPU cant remember which one and the whole motherboard was covered in thermal paste. If you don't have brains just let someone else do it.

@@kaarelk274 yea i say yolo, but im also bend pipes for a living so

@@kaarelk274 I know this is really old, but how did he manage to cover his motherboard in thermal paste? I get that going into something without doing any research can result in bad consequences, but that is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

the issue with EK is upon further research a lot of people say that brand quality has dropped a lot in recent years. Not a good look for a bunch of parts that can kill your PC if it fails.

hard tubing is just unnecessary headache and much larger risk of leaks for basically only looks, soft tubing is much easier to work with, easier to route where you want it and all you need to work with it is sharp knife/razor...

Not "hard" per say, just a bigger PITA and becomes more expensive quickly. Not only do you have to pay to replace whatever needs it, but now your talking new fluid, and "Oh did that fitting o ring get chewed up? damn should replace that too"...

it also makes it "harder" to take it apart every so often to clean it out effectively.

Check out EK. They do a large range of kits that are correctly priced unlike this overpriced kit. Also hard tubing is not something most first timers want to be trying - its easy to screw it up.

@@malphadour I agree, and not everyone want to try a Heat gun for a first timer. My only concern is that if the Fluid comes into the package since the idea is ship it abroad and such bottle (like in Corsair's kit) won't pass Airport Security / Customs

I'm pretty sure Corsair demanded it. You do realize this was nothing more than an ad for Corsair, right?

@@atheisthumanist1964 he would have too outright say this is an ad by law. he didn't, so he just likes the product.

@@andrewbaek6691 And that's where that assertion fails. Not even Jay would pay twice the retail value of better manufacturers. This loop is $600US/$1200CDN. My custom EKWB loop (not that I needed their configurator to choose parts, but it's there for people who don't know what they need so EK will build their kit for them specific to their hardware/case), that includes a distro plate/pump combo was less just over $500CDN, including tubing and black nickel fittings. He likes it, especially at the price, because Corsair is one of his sponsors who also happens to make a block with his name on it. Wake up and smell the coffee. This is a shill and nothing more.

Nope, EK ain't cheap but they got good stuff IMO.

@@alanai1621 This kit is $1200 CDN. I spent about $500CDN on my loop, including the distro plate/pump combo. All EK parts. Fittings all black nickel. If I can find a block for my vid, it will still be cheaper than the retail on this by about $300CDN.

correct its all so expensive

Other than it's Corsair, nada.

It does include a bit more stuff, like the saw and such. But otherwise yeah, kits from Alphacool, EK and Thermaltake have been around for years.

Whats new (actually it isn't new) is corsair keep throwing money at Jay to advertise their overpriced products.

In corsairs defense, at least this "kit" is really just their normal stuff pre packaged into one box. The ek loop in a box for example is not normal ek components, and is actually not compatible with their standard water cooling parts.

Nothing is new about it except Corsair started doing it just like EKWB and everyone else except they paid Jay for a sponsored video so they could reach his millions of subscribers and hopefully sell their product which is not a good value in my opinion.

EK was doing 240mm kits for CPU for under 300 for the longest time. this is sort of inflated IMO

@@ghomerhust sort of ? ...

Yup. Corsair comedy ripoff prices.

*Thanks for watching and commenting direct message 👆👆right away To claim prize🎁 you just won a gift..

What's funny is Jay also talked about the EK kits when they came out.

wow it's almost like it's an intro to a video to catch the viewers attention he also did videos on the EK stuff right when it came out, actually multiple times too if i remember correctly you're clearly new here, maybe instead of immediately shitting on him you could take a quick look next time lol

He won't becuase Corsair gives Jay lots of money to always talk about their stuff. I'm close to the point of unsubscribing to him now - sick of him pushing their overpriced products onto the sort of people who don't know any better.

Seriously. Don't. Go run your case, mobo, vid (if you're cooling it) through the EKWBV configurator, choose a few options and you're done. And I'll pretty much guarantee the cost is nowhere close to this kit in this paid advertisement.

Indeed

build the loop then add the better card later you can find 1080ti water blocks really easily and see increased performance out of a still fairly decent card while you wait for the prices to become more reasonable..

Look to other companies, like EKWB or Bitspower. This is twice the price it should be.

on ryzen 7950x , it will be work good and stable?
