    Today I learn how to polish stainless steel to a mirror shine! And what better way to do this than on my EK surface Radiators to change it to the look I'm going for. This is the first step before electro-plating it to the Black Nickel finish that I want.
    Thanks to ‪@PerformancePCsTV‬ for the rads which I'll be using for my next build. Custom powder coating for these radiators are available along with a lot of ready to go colors at www.performanc...
    Shoutout to my friends ‪@BlueHorseStudios‬ Ron and Deb!
    This PC build will feature a Lian Li o11 Dynamic Evo with an RTX 4090 FE and Intel 13900k in a fully custom water cooled loop. I'll be using an upright GPU configuration and a custom distro on the side that I've designed and made possible and built by Performance PCs. Thanks Garrett!
    Safety note on Goof Off - EXTREMELY flammable! Please be careful with it. The large amounts I had to use in order to soak the parts is not ideal. (You usually don't want to ever have to use that much since it's so flammable, and if you do, it's better to use a proper enclosure for it).

    A late pinned comment - The scammers are back again! No I don't have telegram so please be careful. Also I had an issue with YT licensing on one of the songs so the audio gets a little weird on the first 3 grits. Had to edit using the YT editor after the upload and it's not ideal. Anyway, I'm so happy that so many of you liked this part of the build. Can't wait to show you guys the next part, which is nickel plating. I literally have no clue how it will turn out as this will be my first time but fail or not, we're in for the ride together!

    Damn those EK people for making their paint job super saiyan.

    • @EmoEmu
      @EmoEmu Рік тому

      BTW if EK sold these panels in their various nickel/satin/titanium variations I'd buy them over just having black or white. I'm using black nickel fitting everywhere as well, so this would be a no brainer. They could just sell the panels and people could screw them on themselves. I've no clue why they aren't doing this. I'm sure copper side panels would also sell really well.

    • @SnaxanGaming
      @SnaxanGaming  Рік тому +1

      Yes, actually two changes to the next build, (one of the reasons why it's taking longer than first anticipated due to getting the part and waterblock for it). I'm using a 4090 and a 13900k instead of 3090 and 12900. I ended up finding a good home for the xc3, I had an old mini case and a bunch of spare parts to do a quick fun off cam build. It's actually in the background too :)

I actually learned a lot from them. Also I don't know if I'm skilled in metal work lol, but I am trying to learn lol. I also might make a video on my attempts at using heat to bend copper pipes. Have a bunch of footage that isn't going to be used in my PC build because i ended up not using the coper tubing. May as well make content from the footage

      @@SnaxanGaming I agree with the first generation Uni fans...there were lots of problems with the controller, etc. BUT they fixed everything with the new Infinity SL and v2 fans. The new ones are 20% brighter, they're 28mm thick instead of 25mm and they redesigned the connectors and controller... they're actually a perfect match for the Surface rads because of the fin density on these rads. They are not meant to be used in a push/pull design and you don't even have to go beyond 1000rpm for regular day to day use..but if your going for a nice black out build (I love black out systems) definitely check out the new be quiet pro fans. They can hit an astonishing 3000rpm and look like the nicest high performance fans I've ever seen...I see you got a 4090, be ready to be blown away. My system is still on a test bench (7950x, Asus Crosshair Extreme board). I have never used a video card that increased performance the way the 4090 has done. You won't even consider playing anything under 4k ultra. I had a custom dual D5 distro plate made by Radikult (you should check his stuff out)..oh and don't forget, the 011 EVO XL was announced too.

      @@SnaxanGaming Yeah no one runs fans that high unless you want to see the computer fly away on its own, lol. The EVO XL should have been released a long time ago, I don't know what took them so long. The main difference between that and the regular XL is that it supports 140mm fans so you could do 420mm rads. I remember when you did your first build, you had three rads. Are you sticking to three again or just two? You don't need more than two, especially with the x360m...even the 4090 doesn't get that hot. As for CPU, the 3D versions of Ryzen 7000 are coming in January/February. They're gonna be the fastest gaming CPUs ever.
