I wish they made something like this when I started... 

Jay, you're looking much better. I hope you're feeling much better.

"I like them stiff. If they're not stiff, they sag." Yes, Jay, that is how it works.

I would say, it would be nice if Corsair also included a drain fitting in the kit.

FOR 1000.00 you should get more then 3 fans and 6 tubes! its insane how expensive water cooling has gotten

Your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed, Jay. Keep it up. Fuck them haters.

I had to create all of this stuff myself when I first started doing water cooling. By the time I did my build with corsair's old gen kit, it was already leagues ahead of what you could do back in the mid-late 00s. I took one of their temperature probes and put it on the exhaust, and another on the intake, both before and after my intake radiator, and at the back of the case where it exhausts free air (I didn't feel like putting one in the top with the other radiator that's exhausting there). My loop speeds up and slows down based on core temp of the CPU and GPU, but I could have easily linked it to exhaust temps if I wanted to as well. I contacted them back in 2020 after I did that build and suggested they integrate a temp sensor into a fan, and I'm glad they actually finally did it! I cannot have been the only person suggesting it. I also have 11 fans in my system, and wiring up all 22 wires to two commander PROs was a nightmare, even in a 1000D where it's stupidly easy to work inside of the case. I actually broke and had to rebuild one of the wires because I had to label everything, and some of my labels were wrong, and a wire cut in half when I went to remove the tape i'd used. Now it's basically impossible for that to happen the way it did for me, since labels aren't needed lol

Jay & Co, how about a roundup of current entry level loops, especially soft tubing loops. Something that's either: inexpensive, or fun DIY.

This kit and Corsair's solution is the only reason I ventured into hardline water cooling for my new PC setup. I grabbed this, plus two sets of the frosted tubing, extra rad and fans for 2x 360 and 10 fans total, and I got the 4090 strix water block. Not gonna lie, even with this kit I almost gave up for soft tubing 5 hours into tube bending for my first time but stuck it out and it turned out great. Definitely buy yourself lots of tubing to throw out, it's cheap.

I just completed a new build using those Corsair Rads and Fans. If you stick to Corsair fittings you're fine, but if you use EK Torque fittings like me you'll need an extension as there's not enough space with the 90° link cable. Also be very careful with the link cables that aren't the 90° plugs, if you got them plugged in and bend too much the plastic around the connectors will break off. Corsair replaces them no questions asked though, but still be careful.

I never ever had the desire to put one of these systems together but your knowledge and approval of this system and my being a fan of Corsair products kind of has me excited to do this. Thanks for that. 👍

Definitely grabs my attention. I've had so many problems with RGB alone in the past that I've sworn I wouldn't try water cooling but...this is the kind of thing that could change my mind.

I do like that everything is in a box. This helps make hard tubing more accessible to us beginners.

I miss when ek had that $250 kit with soft tubing. Water cooling was way more accessible then

I am still running EKWB EK Fluid Gaming soft tubing water cooling kit. I have been impressed with it. I maintain my loop with distilled water and anti growth additive. Have never had and issue. I know a lot of people don't like tubbing but my 5 year old media center build is still an art piece. 1080ti/amd ryzen 5 3600. Plays the couch games I need and the EKWB EK Fluid Gaming kit has served me very well. The recent corsair kit make me want to upgrade but I don't need more this works so well.

If I do a hard line kit, this is where I would start. I have done 3 soft line computer builds so far. Like the flexibility of silicon hose lol.

Jay is in my BRAIN. I was looking for hardline guides

I got the HX305i for my build 18 months ago and it was a great way to start. Absolutely needed more components, but as a first timer this was super helpful.

Could you do a "cheapest custom watercooled pc" build? what kind of pc could you get for entry level parts, maybe for something like a RTX 3080

This could not have come at a better time. I'm actively looking to build a hardline water cooled PC in roughly a week from now and this is perfect.

Jay can you make a video where you build a pc using the Corsair water cooling kit?

Hey Jay, you may already have this planned but for the month of watercooling, could you have a piece that focused specifically on maintenance? It's the number one reason why I'm hesitant to try a water build. Specifically, how to build your loop for easy draining, how often you should do a full drain/reclean, etc

Hey Jay, I used this kit for my build and a single one of those tubes was able to run the length the a lian li 011D evo case. I had about about a quarter of the tube left as well

I love the idea of the link ecosystem and have honestly been considering replacing all of my corsair hardware with link compatible stuff, but there's one huge drawback in that you have to use iCue for curve control which doesn't have an option for hybrid/dual curves based upon whichever temp sensor is higher ala fancontrol. Corsair, PLEASE add this feature to iCue. It would be a massive addition to the software and make the functionality of your water cooling hardware so much better.

Jay, great segment, the information was spot on for someone like me wanting to give water cooling a try. I plan to give the Corsair kit a shot in the very near future. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Jay, I like this kit. It's like you brought this kit over to my house office just to show it to me. ( I know I said it in the past but) Thanks so much for all that you do. I hope you're feeling better. Cheers 😁

Cool kit nice overview of the icue stuff and you did a great job explaining it

Looking good, my friend. Hope you are feeling better than usual. I myself, haven't been on for awhile, went off grid for a time.

Jay is the best reviewer out there . I have no desire to make a custom loop ever , but the passion he puts in everything he reviews make me watch every single video of him . Thanks Jay !

You are right, I ordered 4 tubes from 1m extra. And I used 2 tubes with a coupling fitting, and filled it up with UV reactive fluid. And beneath the tube I have a big TL tube with black light and now I see the tubes right above my monitors. Gives a nice sight. The UV light up the wall and the tube glowing.

ive been running an older Corsair AIO kit for years. for years longer still ive been interested in doing a custom hardline setup but anxiety about messing up my computer and the general affordability of an AIO has stopped me from actually pulling the trigger on doing it. this kit is actually a very tempting option that may get me to actually do it. thanks for the video JTC

The bitspower titan 1.X is what got me into PC watercooling (also my first PC too). That helped a lot and what got me into it. That being said, I would recommend this to my friend if they ever want to get into it.

I’ve been waiting for u to do this review. Thank you

I'm tempted to try it. This is a great idea kit

Hey Jay, you're looking good and healthy, bro. 👍 The kit makes figuring out what a beginner needs easier. When I built 'Floyd,' it wasn't hard to a la cart the parts through Corsair. There were some couplers Corsair didn't offer then, but maybe they do now. Of course, your excellent video on bending tubes and putting it all together gave me the gonads to go for it. I have no regrets. I like your out-of-the-box reviews; the how-to-do and building tips are tremendous! You are my go-to whenever I have 'issues,' which have not been often. Many, many thanks for what you do. 😁👍👍

I used their old kit. It's much better than most of the kits out there and has everything you need to run a midsize ATX loop :) This isn't the first kit, but it's worth it for the first-time loop runner.

Nice video Jay. I like how the whole kit is part of an ecosystem which would give me the confidence to try water cooling for the first time, knowing that everything should just work together. It is still disappointing that Corsair do not have a reverse pitch fan option yet. It would really help show a system off to its full RGB potential while still deploying an optimum mix of intake and exhaust fans.

All in one beginners kit is great idea. Water cooling can be fun, lots of pro's for it. Unfortunately I fell down rabbit hole and spent too much on custom loop stuffs.

Thanks for the new update for WC Jay!! I was inspired to build my first WC cause your indepth videos 🤠 keep up the WC and PC building and streaming WOWs!

this is so good my only complain is I wish they subjected the scimitar mouse to whatever quality control logitech subjects their g600 so it can also last more than 40 months (and counting) as opposed to not even 18 before it starts to double click and the scroll wheel stupidly twists and reaps is own axle so I could throw my money into fully switching to the icue ecosystem, quality is like common sense, it is important but rare

Thank you guys, that ICue firmware update fixed the issues I was having each time on restart/shutdown.

"nice and stiff and stay where I put them". I'm sure mrs. Jay agrees to that

this kit makes me feel like I could start custom watercooling! it's so much less intimidating

You're the best dude. Definitely not buying Corsair, but I'm planning my first custom water loop here soon and using your stuff to study.

I love that the gang are still killing it after all this time. Major props to Jay and the crew!

Oh cool watercooling month is here. Neat.

This is really good, I would try this

Just last week I completed my first custom loop with all EK parts excluding the fans. Been watching watercooling content for a while now from you and other creators so I felt up to the challenge of doing it all myself. I used EK's configurator on their website to get a handle on what I needed for what I wanted to do. Though I ended up being short on fittings after I received everything and had to wait for the rest of the fittings to arrive, I was successful and didn't have much trouble doing it. Was careful throughout and took my time. Wasn't difficult, really. But yeah this kit would make people more comfortable with starting out. But for the money I'd want to make sure I got it exactly the way I wanted it to look. And for me, that was with EK stuff, not Corsair.

16:10 One little issue there, steel won't crush on itself if it's proportional to what's done with plastic for water cooling. I'm an electrician and bend steel conduit (EMT and RET) all the time by hand, with a bender that's not dissimilar to what's in that kit, anything from 1/2" - 1 1/4", as well as bigger stuff up to 3" inch on a press, and we never put anything inside, never get any crushing, folding, etc.. You only see crushing on SUPER thin walled steel, like with exhaust pipes.

Great timing. I was just thinking about the full kit just for the sake of convenience. Still need to buy some extra stuff, but 1 kit definitely makes it easier

this is an awesome combo from Corsair! I might just get myself this to transform my PC into a liquid build. would be nice to see Jay building a PC with this to see how it's done 😃

Thank you i was asking about this your last video so ill be getting this for my next build

The previous version of this kit was how I did my first custom loop. Right off the shelf in micro center.

Thanks for the efforts!

For my setup, im gonna use the h6 flow with the icue link fans, 360 link lcd aio, 3 120mm, 2 140mm and a single rear 120mm. I'm going to setup the fan speeds as such. AIO exhaust fan speeds are solely dependent on the CPU temp regardless of the case temp. The rear exhaust fan and front 3 intake fans will change speeds depending on the exhaust temperature. And the bottom 140mm fans will speed up when the GPU temp increases, then the case temp, CPU temp, and GPU temp all reach an equilibrium state

I used a previous version of this kit with an extra rad in my build and my biggest issue was that I needed a few additional fittings to include my GPU in the loop. For a first-time watercooling builder, it was super easy and has been running great for nearly a year!

It would be cool if the next video was you using this kit with minimal additional tools to do a build in one of corsairs cases, such as the 5000d or something. Its one thing to show the pieces, its another to show the process in intricate detail, and maybe even little bits about things to look out for as you go.

I have a corsair 420 aio and 6 other fans that are all the new Link and I haven't any issues what so ever with the rgb. Having 9 extra temp sensors also like Jay was saying for fan control is pretty cool as well. Edit: building with this new ecosystem also made it much easier and quicker. Less clutter, easier cable management.

This kit looks very promising, i think the splitter solved the issue with the cpu block having to be at the very end of or alone in the line as per you previous video on this. Hope your health is also improving getting close to a full recovery soon.

This makes me want to hardline water cool, I wanted to before but I’d always talk myself out of it with this being a kit I may well have to in my next build

Yes, im looking to upgrade from my cougar aio and do something like this, the kit looks like it takes all the guesswork out of piecing the parts together, would be great if you did a build with this kit. thanks for all the videos

Looks like a pretty good starter kit

I'd love to see a video going through strategies for optimizing your fan/pump curves based on the info from temperature sensors like these. I have an older version of this same kit and feel like I'm not utilizing all the temperature sensors to do anything interesting, I just have my fan curves all going off of coolant temps so they ramp up regardless of if it's a CPU or GPU heavy load.

would absolutely love to see a build with this! and gonna save up to buy this! thank you!

Glad to hear the "red flashing" bug is fixed... IT's terrifying, on a fresh build, when all your fans and pump start flashing red. Luckily, it's easy enough to check the CPU temp (and see it's not melting).

Jay, we need video about external radiator like Alphacool Supernova or Watercool MO-RA3

Twitching as Jay points to things in the box and waving his hands around with a razor utility knife in his hand 🫣

The filming set looks great. The GPU wall is a flex

I built my first water cooling PC using the Corsair Hydro X Series kit that JayzTwoCents used in a previous video a couple years ago I stumbled upon last year. I added an additional rad and GPU water block. That hardline tool kit was also included in the Hydro X kit. The only difference between their old kit and the new kit is the Link hardware rather than the Commander Pro and Lighting Node. And about $100 more. I do wish they had the Link when I built my system because the wire management is atrocious with the old version. "Here is the hacksaw. Not too much to say about that." Sounded a lot like Forrest Gump's "That's all I have to say about that."

I do like the new link kits

Just some info: there is no such thing like "standard" or "non standard" acrylyc, there is just one chemical substance called acrylic and its PMMA. The other kind of tubing is PETG as far as i know, and it is definately other kind of animal compared to acrylic.

Loving it! I have just 1 question, do they have one that comes with gpu blocks to?

I liked the video which did a good job showing the components included in the kit. If I have any suggestion, I would have liked to see the end result with the hard loop in a random case. I don't think it would be necessary to video the whole build, but it would have been nice see the finished product inside a case.

PMMA will make a way tighter radius than the tool provided. The only thing I change up is using an inflatable mandrel for super tight, or bends beyond about 120 degrees. Makes pullin the worm out SO much easier! Lol! And my son's mom used to do advertising for a jewler in AK... And she says folks would pay big dollah for Nic or Phil's beautiful paws! Hahahaha! Nice one team Jay'z!

Ive never liquid coold a pc mostly cause there were no all in one kits like this and info is all over the place abut dIY each contradicting the other making it a lil confusing as t what you need. Im kind of excited about buying one of these so thanks for showing it to us!

As a Server and Workstation builder for my customers, I couldn't help but be a little weary of using water-cooling in a computer but I took the leap and went with Corsair. To this day I am very satisfied with Corsair's water-cooling products, so far I have never had any....oh wait! Not going to jinx it!!

When i did my first watercooled build i had tons of tubes because everybody said you are gonna loose these things or mess up half of them but i had one 15 cm part messed up and some 5mm parts which i just cut from the ends. So i made my second build from the same parts^^. But you are still right i was just lucky and you should buy something extra of this stuff.

It defiantly takes all the guess work of matching tubes and fitting and getting everything the first time.

great video JAY

Would love to see you do a build with this Corsair kit

If I absolutely needed to water cool I would use that. I have never done water cooling as of yet, and that kit would remove a lot of the stress

For me..this looks like something i would get and try. Seems easy enough, everything basically included and feels a lot less scary than just looking at a selection of separate pieces you have no idea what you need.

I seen this on Corsair a while back but it was not as up to date as this kit. I think the only thing missing is a pressure pump to test your loop. Probably something they could source easily and add to the box tools.

It's pretty cool, being able to just order a single box with everything you need. Makes it a lot easier if you're worried about picking the wrong things and such. The reason i went with EK and not Corsair when building my loop, is mostly aesthetics and iCUE. Corsair just feels like a proprietary eco system, something i'm really not a fan of. They DO make it very easy for beginners, though, i'll give 'em that.

6:38, I've been doing this for a while using the temp probes that come with the commander pro but this is actually such a nice addition to see built into the fans themselves! I've never considered buying corsair fans again until now. EDIT: Never mind I've just looked up how much they cost and I will be going nowhere near them

Would be interested in a video conparing what you can get yourself for the price of the corsair kit

The XD7 cpu block has a temp sensor in it Corsair also sells adapters for their GPU blocks to hook into the link system.

Jay, can you do a build with just what's in the box to see how it goes? I've been wanting to get into water cooling and love the idea of this, but I'm worried about what kind of pitfalls someone would see when actually building with it. I know you mentioned concerns in this video, but I also know there are things you won't know until you build with it.

ah man would have loved an install video to it + a temperature benchmark comparison to AiOs but really really nice video anyways thanks!

As always jay great review. I have an aio for my 14900k and wanted to go to a hard line water cooled set up, but it seemed a bit daunting and the expense of screwing up, what block pump reservoir or even how to do it were a bit daunting. Not a fan of a mistake that could cause a total meltdown. This looks very doable.

Hey Jay, great video! A little off topic but it would be great if you made a video one day explaining/ comparing the difference between AIO and open loop systems. The general consensus is that save for an AIO for the cpu, its not worth it anymore to setup and maintain an open loop setup, especially since stock GPU coolers have gotten so great? Is this true and is there really a large performance gap between two identical systems setup as described? Thanks

I had a Cooler Master Aquagate Max that I bought around 2007. It lasted me 12 years till then the pump started to fail. If I ever use water cooling again I'd use the same pump that was in that system which was a Jingway DP-600P.

This really seems like a nice kit for a beginner as it has everything you need to get started. But yea, get extra tubes. They do seem a tad on the short side.

This would definitely get me to try water cooling for the first time. I love that they offer it in white as well.

Deburring is also super important because burrs cause turbulent flow, and after enough time, those turbulent forces will cause pinhole leaks. It can take years with copper tubing, but acrylic is another story.

Hey Jay I just wanted to reach out and express my support for you amidst all the chaos surrounding the recent Ekwb video. It's unfortunate to see how much unnecessary drama has stemmed from this situation. Your content has always been top-notch, and it's disheartening to see you face backlash for simply sharing your thoughts. I believe that staying true to your vision and direction is crucial, even in the face of adversity. Your loyal followers appreciate your honesty and expertise, and I'm confident that you will navigate through this challenging moment with grace and integrity. Keep up the great work, Jay! Your fans are here for you! I’m one of them.

I've never had much anxiety with watercooling, personally... 2:50 but then you did this. I was waiting for the exsanguination.

Love when you try and find the product link in the description, but it just takes you to the general amazon home page. Nice job, yet again. Lets also completely disregard the fact that he reviewed this product already.

this may be a new kit but corsair has made all in one watercooling kits for a while. the sell them at microcenter.

Jay, they could make the pump a link HUB with the extra power... (Corsair please hire me.)

Ique is a deal breaker for me personally, but it's nice to see a kit like this
