Buy the limited GN wireframe shirt! store.gamersnexus.net/products/limited-wireframe-shard-cotton-t-shirt Find Jay here: ru-vid.com Hey all -- was very sick the last two days (and a bit the week leading up to that) but finally starting to turn it around, so should be back to normal daily content schedule in the next few days, plus a return to testing/benchmarking.

MrGhost370 it’s kind of ironic that you attack other adults for having a different sense of humor from you, when having such a bad attitude is often likened to the “terrible twos.” When it comes to maturity, I think I’d rather have the humor of a “six year old” than the attitude of a two year old. Either way, being an angry, toxic person is the exact opposite of having “grown up.” So you’ve got a different sense of humor from other people, that’s fine. That does not mean your sense of humor is superior or more mature, and certainly shouldn’t be a reason for being so toxic to others.

Here are my tips from 15 years of water cooling. Leaks are pretty uncommon so don't stress put too much about them (definitely do a leak test though). When leaks do occur these seem to be the most common causes. 1. Forgetting the o-ring, always double check it didn't accidentally fall off. 2. Broken rotary fittings. 2. Cracked acetal from overtightening. Seriously, be careful when tightening into acetal you can crack it with just hand tightening and it's going to be a bad time.

@3800S1 5 лет назад

I have always used FDA grade silicone hoses and automotive coolant. Have been using the same loop for the most part since 04 and only changed the coolant 3 times since then, and the pump was replaced in 08. Back then the pumps would be main powered aquarium pumps and that eventually wore out and got noisy so I have some brand 12v pump that no longer exists in its place. Apart from changing GPU blocks with upgrades and the coolant every 5 years or so it hasn't missed a beat!

@AstralS7orm 4 года назад

@@miraflynn8935 Automotive coolant is usually standard water glycol mix with biocide (often borax, not copper) and sometimes anticorrosion additive. It has a bit more glycol than you'd want for best heat transfer (preferably zero), but not all that much more. Silicone tubing is very elastic and will slip most kinds of compression fittings. Use with the christmas tree plus band only.

@emperorSbraz 4 года назад

silicon is kinda immortal. i admit it gets some permanent bad bends after 25 years of service but hey still working fine. pump is a 3€ pump from aliexpress, i got so surprised by the performance at just 5V (never had a stalled rotor) i got another one as a spare when it will inevitably break. never a problem with barb fittings with no compression i'm now using an arduino to control both fans and the pump using a hybrid PID with a custom board using 2x mosfets from a dead motherboard. :) oh, the pump is in a beer glass with tap water, 1 year running fine. the wire has started to wear down a bit, there's a clear discoloration. 240 rad, 200W+ max water temp i got was 41C with 30C+ ambient (italy summer hammers OC) with fans (el cheapo industrial fans) at max and pump at like 10V but it's pwm, hard to say for sure.

@AstralS7orm 4 года назад

@@emperorSbraz The main reason for the band is for higher pressure (you don't have that in small pump) and to prevent mishaps with the piping if moving anything. The problem with $3 pumps is that you are likely to get a QC fail. But in a redundant system, this makes a lot of sense. As long as pressure, flow rate, radiator, block contact and fans (if needed) are sufficient, any ambient cooking system will have similar performance, give or take few degrees. Only at high thermal powers you have to be careful. E.g. I have a system designed for 1200W continuous, so your setup would lack in that setting.

@toddsimone7182 5 лет назад

Jay the thermostat in your car is only used for warmup of the engine and prevents flow through the radiator until it reaches the t-stat opening temp which is usually around 180 F. After that point it's always open so there is actually constant flow and the temp will basically equalize as it does in a water cooling loop. The temp change you're noticing is only a result of airflow through the radiator either as a result of the fans coming on or physical air flow at higher speed. Goes to show the importance of airflow through the radiator but the same thing would happen on a water cooling loop if you manually switched the fans on and off as far as temps are concerned but the flow is in fact constant with respect to the water pump speed/engine RPM.

@spddmn24 5 лет назад

That’s not true at all in most cases. The radiator is nowhere near capacity at 180+ degrees for regular street driving. Without a thermostat most cars would run significantly cooler than 180 degrees, especially in colder months.

@toddsimone7182 5 лет назад

@@spddmn24 My point is the thermostat doesn't open and close during operation. Once it reaches about 180F it starts opening and remains open while the engine is hot. It may not be open all the way but it certainly doesn't open and close while the engine is hot.

Can one of you guys do a comparison of a custom loop vs an AIO. Like how much money and what temperatures you get for each. I've tried looking but no one has done it

@apexcapital1328 5 лет назад

Cooling with a good AIO is very similar to a custom loop, but the reliability is far behind.

@omgpwnz1 5 лет назад

Its not so much as to how much cooler a custom loop is over an AIO as it is the gained thermal mass, if AIO's started adding reservoirs to their loops and good copper brass rads, better pumps then they would be alot better then they are. Once full heat saturation is reached on the average 1-2 rad custom loop the diffrence is a custop loop may be a few degrees cooler if it has more rad capacity, better fans, better blocks, more liquid and such. Those few degrees can make quite a diffrence when pushing to the limits of an overclock reliably. But the main aim of custom water loops is time, custom water cooling can take hours to reach peak tempature rather then 20 minutes for an AIO or almost instant for convetional air heat sink. This also works in reverse the greater the thermal mass also the longer it takes to cool back down when load is removed.

@grlmgor 4 года назад

Their out of the box thermals are the same.

@jimr5703 4 года назад

@@omgpwnz1 The key benefits of AIO are ease of implementation and pricing. Adding more gear and features would increase the price and begin to limit potential applications because of space concerns. Most people don't work their systems hard enough to justify the heavy duty cooling capacity of a well designed custom loop. I think AIOs have the balance about right as you get a very nice benefit over air cooling (noise and/or performance) at quite a friendly price. I'm rockin' a Ryzen 3600 and cooling it with an X42 AIO from NZXT. I could have spent less on a better performing AIO, but I wanted the infinity pool RGB thing in my rig.

@omgpwnz1 4 года назад

@@jimr5703 the way I see it is AIO is a bane on cpu cooling as it has pushed prices up for custom open loop cooling to create a swelling market for themselfs when they should not cost much more then a high end noctua air cooler. there used to be affordable custom loop kits with 600L/h pumps all copper for the same price as what they charge now for the more expensive AIO's did the price of these componets go up the past decade? no companies just got more greedy. most are all the same forced by a asetek USA pattent that means only they can sell theirs in the USA, innovation and improvement in the AIO space has been stagnated. yes there are nice to haves with an AIO but when they charge what they charge they need to perform alot better then what they do, aluminum dose not cost more then copper so why are people paying for it like it dose?.

@aquilarossa5191 5 лет назад

I thought about custom loops for the looks and hobbyist aspect. I have a 2700x and was actually reluctant to ditch the stock cooler because it did an okay job and looks really good, but what made me decide to upgrade it was the noise. In the end I went for an air cooler. A Noctua NH-U12A. Not pretty but performs almost as well as their NH-D15 or a 280mm AIO. It is really quiet too. I like the set and forget aspect. Make up for lack of bling with other parts. I actually turned out to like RGB after being a grumpy old man calling it a sales gimmick. if I was still a 20 year old I would definitely go custom loops though. These days I am less into hassles and fiddly things. I am the same about building a kitset clone of a vintage Marshall guitar amp. I want to do it, but I know the fiddly tasks that require me to wear my glasses will have me cussing for days on end until the job is done. No fun in that. I have decided to solder together a DIY fuzz pedal instead. Much easier. Bent the pins on my 2700x when fitting the cooler btw. Dropped it. Lost the B channel ram slots as a result. Pissed me off

@@mrlescureI have absolutely no idea where you got that but not remotely true. I think you must have misheard something about it being easy to kink a line in soft tubing and get reduced water flow. But just plain reduced flow? Not a chance. A tube is a tube and the amount of water that flows through it is based on the pumps characteristics and the diameter of the tubing.

@praetorxyn 4 года назад

Soft tubing gets discolored and nasty looking over time and doesn't look anywhere near as nicenas the straight lines of rigid tube, particularly 16mm OD tube. I will say the only reason to bother with custom loops is for silence. The performance boost is negligible, but water cooling is far quieter, particularly with good static pressure fans and more radiator surface area than you actually need.

@KenS1267 4 года назад

@@praetorxyn Wut? discolored? Are you keeping your rig in direct sunlight? Also a custom loop can absorb far more heat than any air cooler or AIO. That's why people actually use them, or at least why people who know WTF they're doing, use them. Just compare the reservoirs on AIO's and custom loops. That extra water means more mass and that means more sinking. As to silence, again WUT? Pumps are easily the loudest computer component besides crappy fans cheapskates buy. SP fans can get quite loud as well when running at 75 to 100%, which they should be unless you're just throwing money away by building a custom loop as a showpiece not to actually improve performance.

On the flip side, if that inline reading is accurate, 60C is usually the max temp of many components of your loop. Past that and the pump, hoses, and o-rings are at risk of failing.

When half life 2 came out I watercooled my X800XT. I bought this bottle of liquid off the net that was AMAZING !!!! But discontinued weeks later. It weighed several times more than water. Was totally inert and non conductive that you could submerge working electrical appliances in it. It had no tension or meniscus. Being my first ever liquid setup, I was learning as I went and kit wasn’t what it is today and due to the lack of tension it leaks easier than water. It also evaporates very fast. It all leaked out of the tank joint and disappeared. Then I had to use fluid XP which was crap. I wish this was still available.

I have had good luck using a couple drops of fountain pen ink to add color to distilled water.

Soft tubing is less costly and safer because the fit is much tighter. It is also much easier to work with compared to hard tubing. The only thing that hard tubing has over soft tubing is cleaner look, that’s all.

@scottlaman2817 4 года назад

@Conor while short, straight runs with flex tubing can have similarly clean looks, there is a definite difference in the look of the tube itself. Holding them side by side, you will notice a big difference in how clear each type is compared to others... Flex tubing has a bit of a cloudy appearance, with clarity increasing as you move to PETG, Acrylic, and finally Glass... The down side is that the more clear a tubing is, the more brittle it is...

Avoid aluminium components in your loop, this includes rads and waterblocks even if they're nickel coated D5 pumps are more reliable and quieter to run than DDC pumps and usually provide more pressure Make sure your reservoir outlet leads to the pump inlet and ideally it should be above the pump to allow gravity to feed the fluid to it Buy more tubing than you need, not just the right amount, you may need to redo a cut or use a piece to fill/drain the loop, this also goes for the distilled water, get extra. Plain water is best with the least problems, add either some biocide or a strip of silver in the reservoir to kill bacteria Colourants and dies will stain your plastic tubing and acrylic blocks, be prepared to disassemble the loop to clean them if you want to change the fluid to a different colour and blocks will need to be dismantled to be properly cleaned out Plan out a proper drainage point for the loop, usually this will be the lowest point in the loop and using a ball valve fitting will make life so much easier when you want to drain it

Grab an AIO and soft tubing. Use something like distilled water, XSPC additive and XSPC reservoir. Tell EK to go f__k themselves with high prices. Use the KISS system, (Keep It Simple Stupid) and things will work out great.

@@MurphyOCP-001 Yes, turn an AIO into a loop. You people waste all this money on EK and the likes... Oh wait, you fools are probably running Intel furnaces and need an damn chiller. My bad bro....

@MurphyOCP-001 4 года назад

@@ragingmonk6080 I did that with a H220 years ago. Flow rate and head pressure on those DDC pumps isn't great and can't keep up with expanded loops as well as a D5 can. Plus they're much louder compared to D5's even at full speed. If you're going to build a full loop there are plenty of brands cheaper than EK and almost as good that do a better job than an expanded AIO.

@ragingmonk6080 4 года назад

@@MurphyOCP-001 As I stated. If you run Intel, you need something more. They draw way more power then they should. I have ran my Ryzen 1600x at 4.0 for two years on a custom loop made from an AIO. It is silent. I hear my central air over it. K.I.S.S. system is the best, unless you have a chip that needs deep freeze.

I'm still using soft tube on my current watercooling and 1st AMD build in over 10 years of watercooling stuff. I have some hard line fittings and I just said Naa. I like the flexibility of soft tube. I'm too cheap to buy Primochill fittings but I have been using the XSPC black chrome fittings as my last 3 builds. I did buy $100.00 solid copper nickel plated block and real strong D-5 pump and huge thick Nexcool copper 360 rads. I think those 3 things are where to spend your money for max cooling performance. tubing and fittings are just the pathway but I try to make it look good without paying 20.00 per fitting. To me that seems insane unless your in a pro show or some sponsored build. I too got away from colors and just use water and biocide with PG. I am waiting on my 1st white case the Lian Li X11 to get here and it all gets installed.
