Beautiful! I love compact watercooled builds. You have such amazing talent at these sort of builds. What was the music at 13:02? Great selection! And your camera quality and narrative quality has gone up quite a bit. The camera footage looks much cleaner - looks like your tonal balance is better.
Thank you very much, really appreciate your continued support! The music at 13:02 is called Far Away by MK2, it's in the RU-vid Create music download section. And I agree, it's a great piece that certainly suits b-roll footage and is going to be used many more times in videos to come. I've been working on lighting a little bit more lately, and tweaking the camera settings to work well with a slightly different lighting setup. There's so much to learn to improve things, but we've got a decent baseline standard for videos on this channel. I don't think we're going to make the 1000 subs before the 20th, but we won't be too far off so hopefully the procedure to get re-monetised will be smooth (really hope that's the case). I should have a video out by the end of tomorrow if not the end of Monday. Anyway I've got to get back to editing that video so I'll catch you in the comments section of another video at some point in the future. I really appreciate the continued support, thanks for sticking around for such a long period of time!
Amazingly done, came out really good. That full adapter „bend“ going up to the rad looks cool. Too bad that thing has such an anemic window. Your doing such a great job with this channel, I hope YT finally „realizes“ it, just stick with it this will take off at some point and go faster than you think once the „switch“ drops. And then you’ll have plenty of content for newcomers to check out and stay engaged.
Thank you very much! I wasn't 100% behind the full adapter bend, but it turned out to be pretty cool. And the other way I managed to make it work looked like a mess. I was looking into getting a last minute sheet of clear acrylic made to replace the side panel. It would have looked so amazing, but I couldn't get one in time for the video :/. The window is just too small if you can get rid of the Drive bracket/panel. I'm going to have to see if I can find some sort of quick way to make clear panels quickly, I'll have to look for a nearby workshop that does that sort of thing. One of the major factors that keeps me pushing to make better and better videos is exactly as you've mentioned. If/when this channel starts growing significantly I should have a great back catalog of videos for new viewers to see. But the same goes for potential future sponsors, I should have a respectable amount of good videos by the time I get in contact with some companies which 'should' inspire some confidence. I like to think that if some companies notice this channel they'd like to support it from the humble beginnings. But now I'm really speculating haha. I'd really like to get into some super budget builds, but ironically it takes a big budget for a channel of this size to make one of those videos. Well at least about a system that's actually worth recommending. But that's a target, perhaps we should aim for one of those videos by the end of the year. Damn it I've gone on for way too long again haha, maybe I should stick to a Twitter style 140 or 280 characters. Anyway, once again I really appreciate the support, and I hope the lighting was a little better this time around :)
AV Techy lighting was excellent, your hands were actual skin colored and not ghostly white^^ Normally I like a more suttle cooling loop look but that full mechanical looking connection has something going for it. I even went as far as sleeving my hoses to somewhat hide them^^ Working with plexi is fairly easy, it can be cut with a saw (powertool or by hand, fine blades for metal cutting) or scored with a knife or specialized tool and then snapped over an edge. I made a simple window for my case out of a 3mm sheet and to fix it I just stuck self adhesive magnetic tape around the perimeter. Would advise to spray paint the inside edges black though before putting it on as the backside of the tape doesn’t look great...it holds on to a steel frame really good.
Excellent, I decided to leave the ISO up to Auto with a set target whenever I wasn't manning the camera. Seems to work so far, so I'l stick with it since it's great to appear as human as possible in these videos haha. I'm a fan of most styles of loops, as long as it's done relatively well and looks clean. Thanks for sharing your experience with creating side panel windows. I really wish I had the time to create one for this case, it would have looked so good! I need your advise for the next video, do you think I should do a video on creating a parts list for a custom loop, or do you think I should move onto the next case? I need to start one of the videos tonight, so hopefully you'll get this in time. I'm interested in doing a video on creating a shopping basket for a water-cooling loop since it's quite a broad topic and might help get this channel discovered, especially with the push to 1000 subs like you've mentioned before. Let me know your thoughts, I'm happy go either way :)
AV Techy that’s a tough one, but as you mentioned „it could potentially pull in other people“ was also my initial thought. And it’s a good time as you just finished off a case before starting a new one with two vids. As also the grandmaster of watercooling Jay is kind of going back to basics lately there is hopefully a need for these vids as there seems to be a new generation rising that don’t know his older stuff and are getting in to the matter. How do you intend to pull it off, is quite a subject to handle depending on how in-depth one goes? I’ll send this one out for now and get back to you if some ideas come to mind. ...maybe going from basics, why it’s not as hard as it seems, loop order, benefits like adapting/expanding to new parts, cost effectiveness as used parts can be an option to get started (especially things that don’t necessarily degrade like reservoirs, radiators, waterblocks, as spare parts can be obtained o-rings for example) ... ok ideas already kicked in...^^
+TheSickness1234 It seems like a tough call, I'm with you on that one. But the more I think about it the more it makes sense. It'll be targeted towards the target and already existing audience of this channel, those getting into PC building and watercooling. I have noticed Jay has been doing quite a few videos on beginners watercooling tips, so maybe there's a little room left for this small channel. My initial thought is to do go over all the major factors to making a water cooling shopping basket. I'm thinking of suggesting a couple of options, one for lower power systems, and one for higher power systems, but I'm going to need to work that out a little more. So essentially it will be going over all the components and answering all the basic questions about all the parts like tubing and fitting sizes, things to consider with water blocks, hardware for filling and draining a system, etc. And when discussing the topics I can overlay footage of how it's used and how to make sense of it. As for your comments, those are very sound suggestions. Second hand parts is certainly a fantastic thing to point out. There are so many ideas now, this might be another 20 minute long video haha :/ Video length is just a disease that spreads from one video to another on this channel, I need to find a cure! Awesome suggestions, it's always great to throw ideas at someone and get the ball rolling. Really appreciate your help!
Thank you very much, there's not a chance we're hitting 1000 before the 20th, but we've given it a good shot! Anyway, I've really got to get this video out ASAP to at least get closer haha. I'll catch you in the comments then!
Well done. I figured that the case was lacking ventilation and a thoughtful ventilation lay out. Outside of the case problems, I really appreciate your through approach to the build as well as documenting your thoughts. Thanks again.
1. Could you have possibly used radiators with built in reservoirs and therefore saved room and maybe used a 120mm radiator at the rear? 2. If exhausting air is a problem as you were saying with the power supply, then try adding a bottom exhaust fan? (if intake is problem then add intake fan to bottom, though this may recirculate hot air) 3. Can you try removing the top dust filter to see what difference it has on temps? Some say its very restrictive
Let's see: 1. You certainly could, but of course extra though would need to be taken into account with regards to an extra set of really tight connections from/to that rear radiator. You might need to get more angle adapters to make it work, but it's definitely possible. I was considering mentioning the possibility of being able to place a 60mm thick radiator up top, but that would be subject to the motherboard heatsinks, and I don't want to mention something I can't verify. If you did go for such a radiator, you could mount it with the outlets on the opposite end of the case to help with the tighter working space. 2. The issue with the PSU is not the ability to get air into the case with this setup, it's just keeping in mind that there needs to be some sort of intake even if the CPU and GPU don't require the extra cooling. For clarification the lower position was not used as an intake or exhaust since it didn't really help with cooling in the Air-cooled video, it just made the setup more complicated since it's in an odd position relative to the components around it. 3. I would remove the top filter, but I'd prefer to test the case with the setup from the manufacturer since it's what most people would do. Having a filter on the intake makes sense, and it's worth having to reduce the dust buildup. But it would no doubt improve the thermals, just comparing it to the open air test bench results for the Thermaltake Core P3 shows the impact. I would test it for you today, but the system has already been dismantled ready for the next build which will be starting tomorrow. Let me know if you have any more questions or queries, and of course, thanks for checking out the video!
I swear there must be something wrong with your 6700k, it's always extremely hot no matter the cooling, and it's not even overclocked much (if at all) I think this is the best temps I've seen you get, I have a ryzen 1700 oc to 4ghz using a 240 mm aio, a 50£ cooler master one, and it never goes near your temps, I know it's not apples to apples, but I hit 67c under a prime 95 after 20 mins, and that's with a very quiet fan setting using Corsair hd120s, which pale in comparison to the ek varders in terms of static pressure
Okay there are a few things a bit off with that comment. First of which is that this is the worst performing setup of any water cool build that has been on this channel. That information can be found at the comparison chart at the end. Next on the list is that the 1700 is a 65W processor by default, whereas the 6700K is a 91W processor by default, so both processors side by side you'd expect the 6700K to output a fair amount more heat than the 1700. One thing that hasn't been setup on this motherboard is locking the voltage to 1.23V or so, so under a stress test the CPU goes up to 1.35V or so which is just unnecessary heat being generated. So in reality, with all that in mind, even when considering your overclock, it's actually understandable that the system in this video is producing more heat than yours. If we dis some rough and horrible maths, let's say the 1700 starts off at 1.25V (kitguru being the source for that), and the 6700K starts off at pretty much the same voltage. Then with your overclock you put it up to say 1.35V, the same as this 6700K goes to when it get's stress tested, then there would still be a similar disparity of the 91W to 65W heat situation discussed earlier. The rough and horrible maths would suggest that even with slower fans you'd expect that disparity to occur. And considering I have 2x 6700Ks and they both perform the same (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GLMynpdvTJM.html) then it all checks out that there isn't an issue with the 6700Ks being used in these tests, and the thermals are in the ball park of what is to be expected. Not spot on, but not far off. This is all interesting stuff to work over, let me know if you have any issues with the rough as heck workings i've written down and we can work out the issue from there. Of course thanks for checking the video out, I appreciate the view, and let me know if you have any more queries.
AV Techy sounds good, you can always expand and go into more details or complexity in further vids. Might want to check the approximate price ranges in different countries with the shopping cart theme. Definitely dollars, your queens coins :-) and would add euro, as there are many countries under that hood. Could also be a good time to add Amazon links in the descriptions as there are many parts from the vids to point out and get kickback, in the long run at least.
Absolutely, I think the main target for this video should be to answer all the fundamental questions that someone new to water-cooling would ask, and to provide the right information so they can get off to a great start. I'd really like people to be able to take something beneficial away from all of these videos, but of course mostly from ones where the direct aim is to help. I'll have to spend a wile looking into other countries like you say, I think I'd at least have to have some options for the UK, US, and EU. And here's a turn up for the books, after you mentioned Amazon affiliate links I looked into the Amazon affiliate program, and let's just say the video description for this video has had an upgrade. It's going to take an extra 15 minutes or so to sort out all the links for each video (future videos), and clearly nobody will see them in this video since I didn't mention it in the video. But hopefully it will be somewhat effective in the future. An absolutely fantastic suggestion, I wouldn't have looked into it any time soon without your prompt, I just assumed it was harder to get into than it actually is. I'm still waiting on the Canadian one though... Anyway, back to structuring the upcoming video haha. Thanks again for the advice, very very helpful!
AV Techy awesome glad to help^^ Sounds like you have a good plan in mind, it’s gonna be a good one for sure. Those amazon links are really handy as a price info alone and if some extra money’s drop to help the channel even better
TheSickness1234 Hey, yeah it's going alright. The next video coming out it's an absolute monster and it's taking a lot longer than usual to create. It's been a tricky one to make, and I'm not sure if it's going to come out as well as I'd like it too. But it's all a learning process, so the next one like it should be better, hopefully any way. Cheers for getting in touch, and of course I hope everything is going well with you?
AV Techy luckily I got rid of my cold after two week, so I’m doing good thanks. That was kind of what I thought with the vid being a tuff one. I’m certain you will set up a really good one and help watercooling new comers a great bit, if they make it to the end and don’t end up facerolling the keyboard ;-) Got my fingers crossed for you, that you find a good balance. Don’t forget you can still out source to separate additional vid(s). Maybe cover the basic hardware bits, sizes and perhaps where to source and show how they go together, loop order and the influence that different hardware has in a loop depending on choices made. Hope I didn’t throw you off...but once I start writing stuff just comes to mind :-)
Thank you very much, I'm looking forward to checking out the Aerocool QS240 in a couple of days time. It should be an interesting case, but we'll have to see if it's any good haha. Thanks for checking this one out, I really appreciate the continued support!
Heya. For future builds, it might be worth buying the alphacool eisbaer lt solo (or apogee drive ii), as they make itx or matx watercooling soooo much easier.
Looking at this case, I love the orange paint, want to make a Ryzen 3700X theme build, wondering if 120mm AIO on the back (exhaust) and 120mm AIO Radeon 5700 XT (if they will come out with something like that) at the bottom exhaust and the top leave it for 120mm dual Noctua fans.
4:17 why should you not use something that's fluffy to build on? I'm planning to do my build on s piece of cloth so I won't scratch my case. I will ofcourse start by putting the psu in and plug it in tge wall so the case is grounded. Would this be a bad idea?
Well you've covered the answer right there. It's just to prevent static charge building up. You could easily build a system on a bed sheet without too many issues, but if it was something like long carpet it's getting into a risky territory. Plugging in a PSU is a great way to circumnavigate the problem. Of course the PSU doesn't need to be on, and neither does the wall socket. Just having the ground pin from the electrical circuit of the building you're in is plenty. The 'don't build on something fluffy' is just something simple that will hopefully stick in a few peoples minds after watching this, and will hopefully prevent them from bricking a system haha. The technique you're using is the best way to ground a system when building, but of course making sure you have the power cable out of the way so it doesn't get tripped over is something to keep on top of, I know I'd trip over and rip that thing out of the wall in no time haha.
AV Techy AV Techy okay thanks, I just needed to be sure I didn't overlook a possible problem. As always you've written a great (and maybe a bit to long) awnser :) . I don't actually mind your long awnsers because I don't have any problems reading English and because it really shows you care about your subscribers. Some youtubers just write a 1-3 word awnser or not at all.
Haha, well who know's I may get to a point where you'll be luck to get 1-3 word answers... yeah that's not going to be happening any time soon haha. And if this all did get to that stage, then I would need to to livestreams or something to keep good contact with everyone. But that's not a bridge we need to figure out any time soon. Really appreciate the continued support, the sub count seems to be getting back to what it was, but I'm not sure if we'll make it to 1000 before the deadline yet. We'll just have to wait and see...
