      Yeah. This channel is the premier channel for SFF. About 2 years + ago someone wrote "PC Porn" as a descriptor. It's certainly that. The camera work, clear and concise hosting along with great info just make it so damn good. My fav channel I watch to get inspired, or hungry, for that next ITX build.

    The way you push the highlights, yet they never clip, is exceptional. Really accentuates the silver sparkle on the case.
    Great job making the green coolant pop, a visual feast.

    I've just completed my A4 H2O build with a full custom loop based off the Eisbaer LT solo and was able to fit TWO radiators. The typical 240mm up top, and In front of the 3080 Extreme Waterforce block fits an Alphacool Nexxous radiator from their server style series. It's a 45mm thick 2x60mm radiator and I'm having great thermal results at extended stress tests. It fits like a glove in the hole in front of the case. I'll laser cut a 3mm mesh grid on the front panel to match the side panels next week, but for now it runs without the front panel snapped in, but still looks great. System details: ROG strix z690i, i7-12700k. Aorus RTX3080 Extreme Waterforce 12gb, 32gb DDR5 Fury RAM, WD Black 2TB, Eisbaer LT 240 system with added 120x60x45mm radiator and all clear lines run inside the anti-kink springs. I'm using 2x Noctua NF-p12 redux 120mm fans 1700rpm, and 2x 6015 fans from amazon that sound very reasonable for 5000rpm. I know you've said that loop order really isn't a factor, but I put the smaller radiator between the i7 and RTX3080 just to keep things tame. I even added a leather handle to the entire build as a sort of tribute to the Loque Ghost premium look. This build was driven by necessity as I'm a professional product designer, but heavily inspired by Optimum Techs info and style of doing these SFF builds. I'm not a big social media/ youtube person, but if you'd like some photos or details, I'd love to share.

Huge kudos for the subdued tone, the excellent technical info, the extremely well done cinematography and editing, and your all-around dedication to excellence. As someone who needs a powerful PC for work, not gaming, yet prefers subtle aesthetics and smart, compact use of space, you're really opened a new world for me. I've got a pc just like this one (minus full LC system) standing next to me right now!

    My first SFF build has been in the new A4 H2O and it's been nothing but bad luck so far, the case and parts have all been fantastic but I've had the misfortune of receiving faulty components after faulty components, or ones that were missing some hardware.
    I found that the fractal lumen S24 fits with the Strix 690-i in the A4 H2O without needing to be modified or having any sort of jank setup. Sadly it initially didn't come with the lga 1700 hardware so I had to have them send it in but they sent one for the wrong cooler and I needed to wait an extra week for it to arrive, next up the riser cable went bad and I had to have a new one shipped from Taiwan that took a month to get here, and lastly I had just gotten my hands on a evga 3080 and I got a bad card that I just RMA'd today.
    Your videos have been unbelievably helpful when it came to building this pc, I'm just a little heart broken that was my first experience building an SFF pc that was otherwise pretty well planned out thanks the the videos and advice you have given us all.
