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!
Absolutely the best simple radiator mod yet.
What I love about your PC videos is that you aren't afraid to do advanced modding on your own and you get professional grade results. Outstanding work!
Thanks I really appreciate that! TBH whenever I film something for the channel there is extra pressure to do it right so I feel like it forces me to take twice the time to do the research and care since others might see it and want to try.
Damn those EK people for making their paint job super saiyan.
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.
Wow you're some kind of expert!
lol, not yet but one day! I'm learning lots tho :)
Awesome, need to see more of this, you’ve come a long way!! The radiator looks amazing
Aww thanks for that, and also for being there to answer all the little questions :)
wow nice job! looks good
Thanks!
you are awesome, i feel you could do anything lol
lol. You can too i'm sure, anything can be done with time and the right research. Also the PC modding community and my friends are super supportive and I learn a lot.
I can never escape Breaking bad references
love it
Why not just use a mirror finish wrap?
HOLA
pense estabas mas bonita
Gotta respect the amount of effort you put into your builds. Can't wait to see the final product!
The more time and love you put in the better the results :)
I see that 4090 in the back, will it be replacing the 3090 XC3 in the next build?
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 :)
Sarah's PC content is always so good. I love the other stuff too, but please do more of these also
what a girl !!
Never knew you are so skilled in pc building AND working with metal! This is great to see as I am into all these things too and a huge game nerd on top of that.
Can't wait to see the rest of the build 👍👊
Thanks!! Also I don't remember if I mentioned, but I checked out some of your videos regarding metals, I've been slowly trying to complete a video on my subs channels, taking forever because I have so many projects going on, but I definitely want to include your channel in the video because I found it super fascinating! 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 Yes I remember you mentioning something like that but didn't know if you were actually working on it. I know all about having to many projects and very little time to work on them, Life gets in the way sometimes. Currently I'm still working on a Horizon ZD/FW metal casting project (almost done) but want to make more so that I can send you one too. Copper pipes can be turned into many cool things (not just melting them), I've seen some videos on that and got a project planned for that myself. Looking forward to see more of your crafting projects.
And thanks for checking out my content too 😁👍
@@ralphmourik oh wow that HZD project sounds fun! do you know when you might have content on it on your channel if at all? that would be cool to feature in my mini vlog
@@SnaxanGaming If all goes well the project should be done in the first week of January and the video will be up not to long after.... I hope 😅
Would be very cool if you used some of the footage. I'll upload it (maybe in segments) asap and set it unlisted and email you the links so you get first look and can see if you can use any of it, and get spoiled on what I'll be sending you... 😋
Very 🆒 job Sarah I'm impressed with your technical skills 👍😎
Awesome Build Sarah....u didn't like stealth games ? E.g.. Hitman or any other stealth game ?
How did you get your hands on a Black on Black Surface Rad with black end caps?
Yes! Love her PC vids. They are so nice to watch.
Fingerprints: I'm gonna end this whole rads career
How dramatic is the thermal degradation after? Hoping not too bad.
First I liked you for your gaming and then I loved you for pc building.
Well, Now I love both of these by you. ❣️
Thank you! The channel has always been gaming with my PC stuff here and there so it's perfect for you :)
Wow, that's some pro staff. Awesome job!
appreciate the support!
Amazing Snaxan. Love the creativity of building beyond parts and going deeper on the aesthetics. As an artist this was inspirational to watch.
You seem like a real professional.👌👌👌👌
You make alot of efforts with so much love you make me love my sturdy PC
Visiting your channel after a long time, looks like I had missed a lot of videos
Welcome back!
HEY SNAXAN NICEEEEEE !!!!!! 🤟 I WOULD LUV 2 C MORE PLEASE, CAN I GIVE YOU A TIP - WHEN U ARE SHOWING OFF YOUR HARD WORK LIKE THIS - PLEASE WEAR WHITE COTTON GLOVES SO AS NOT TO SHOW ANY OF YOUR THUMB PRINTS TO THE CAMERA AT THE END... A VERY SEXY BUILD.
Yeah you’re right. I think I was so tired at the end I forgot about all that stuff lol
Me encantaría saber que dice XD.
you so awesome nicest friend ❤️
Love this content :) Gl for the next ^^
You did awesome on it. Looks good.
Lol that mask scene!
Sarah your PC builds videos are so great. Everytime I see your videos I learn something new. I honestly say that I haven't seen before that level of effort and passion into something. Please feel so proud of your achievements and don't forget that there are people here that really like your content and will follow you no matter the decisions you make. Congrats!!
Thank you, appreciate that!
Awesome Sarah away clean
The way you do your pc videos...🔥. MOOD and VIBES are excellent. Also always so well done and interesting. Wish you could do more of them
I would definitely do more if I could! It's too expensive and I have to rely on sponsors though, but hopefully I'll be able to do more. There will be more content for this particular build though :)
Tus videos de PC son unos de mis favoritos y divertidos que tengas más ideas y más videos.
Thank you I’m happy you enjoy them !
You look likes pokimane
The end result is so cool! I dont even know much about pcs but these are satisfying to watch. Especially the way Sarah edits these vids
Thank you!! :)
Hello Sarah 😌
damn, 😓😓😓
i love you ♡
Very cool
You're amazing Snaxan 🎄🌟
lol....snacks represents a lot of us especially when putting on the mask and thinking about all the masked characters....love it.
Sarah that thumbnail is 😻
Where is God of War Ragnarok part 7.
Tomorrow morning
what you didn't watch the karate kid 1 or 2 or 3 or even the Jaiden Smith one
I never seen any lol, just a few of the cobra kais
@@SnaxanGaming I know the cobra kai I watched 2
Wow your building a pc from scratch that takes mad talent
When is the next gowr vid?
tomorrow! the next week or two are going to be a little slow with that but I'll get back to normal hopefully right after.
This is art. You have my respect. Btw can I ask where you get the mod mat from? Thank you.
Thanks! And yes, I love this mod mat, its quite handy, it's just a little pricey. This is the one: amzn.to/3uM0tdP
@@SnaxanGaming seriously. You are one of the best UA-camr. You are very attentive to your viewers comment. Keep it up the good work. You will go extremely far. Thank you so much for the response. 😉
Beautiful sarah
thanks!
New pc already? Why the sudden change?
How about play Guardians of the Galaxy? Square Enix & Telltale Games
I did play those on twitch I just need to one day edit those for the channel
awesomesauce as always snax!
Look at that shine! ✨ excited to see the final build! 🤩 #pcmodders #girlswhobuild
Aww thanks sis :) Can't wait see you guys soon!
you could have just used a regular paint stripper ro get the paint off
I actually tried with normal. It didn't really work, even after soaking for a long time. There were some funny moments on that. Unfortunately that scene I was alone with no camera help and I didn't notice the camera battery ran out
Waaaah! Finally! I waited this for so long! 🥰🥰
More to come!
you should have covered the mat with polythene
true
I'm building an AM5 system with the x360m and the new Lian Li SL Infinity fans. It's going to cool a 4090. Nice mod!
Is that a high performance Noctua fan? You should check out the be quiet silent wing pro fans. They just came out but I don't think there's a higher performance fan than them.
I haven't seen those fans! I'll check it out thanks! I'll be honest, I never liked the Lian Li fans for some reason but then I finally tried them for an off cam build and the way they designed them and the way they look in person, I'm a fan now (lol pun intended). Good luck on your build! I'm going with 4090 also.
@@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.
@@GSP-76 I was actually hoping the evo xl would have been out by now! Way back when they announced it, I planned to build in it. But ended up with normal evo instead. I couldn't use the larger board I wanted because of that but it's been fun figuring out how to solve the problems with the smaller case. also those fans sound great! I'll check them out. Although I would never run fans that high lol.
@@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.
Your build videos are so good, Sarah.
Thank you, I enjoy making them! Even better when people enjoy watching them
how do you find all these stuff hmmm pretty luck
I get help from sponsors, that's one of the main reasons why I can't do a lot of PC videos. I'd do a lot more builds otherwise because I love doing them.
@@SnaxanGaming i see well that's good btw i enjoyed watching these builds excited to see the final result of this build
Good job!!! Like a mirror.
Thank you! 😊
