Honestly, I would have had a hard time with the tube angles myself being super ocd, but I'm glad he was ok with it. Speaking of being super ocd, when building something that doesn't turn out the way you like it and the customer is ok, it still drives me crazy that I could not make it perfect. I'm glad I just air cool my system. Even if just one fan failed or didn't work would cost many hours to replace. I've seen some really awesome water cooled systems but would never want to have to work on one.

      Look up the Universal Postal Union and see why. In many cases it costs way more money to ship within the US vs international to the US. A lot of the countries like China can offer free shipping and fastest possible shipping at very low cost because rich nations like the US subsidizes it. Its really interesting when you read how countries like China keep themselves categorized as "developing nations" while sending spacecraft to Mars and the moon. Ultimately state to state in the US is expensive so companies shy away from the fastest options. Its not usually a logistics problem its usually a cost problem.

      DHL handles most international shipping to/from the states that FedEx and UPS don't service directly so they handle significantly less mail. because of that they don't use centralized distribution centers like UPS and FedEx so they're able to deliver regionally which cuts down on shipping time. but i wish people would quit using DHL within the US though because they're just overpaying to ship through USPS.

    This was my worst nightmare while I was planning my build. I checked every spec multiple times over to verify that everything would fit because I knew somehow that something wasn't going to work like I wanted it to, and I was just praying it wasn't something major.
    Sure enough, I hadn't planned on how much space I'd need to hide excess cable length near the power supply, and that meant I had to remove the hard drive tray. Only I had planned to use that tray. Thankfully just a few days earlier I had decided to ditch the planned spinning drive in favor of a solid state and that meant all I had to do was attach the drive at the mounting points on the back of the motherboard mounting plate. Made cable routing a little tougher but I can't complain. By all means I got off easy.

As long as you flush and refill at regular intervals, you're golden, so remember to include a fill port, and a drain port, for your own sake. Godspeed grandpa Pete!

    Thanks Jay and team for a great video! I have the same case and remember there were A LOT of considerations when building a custom watercooled system in there with 2x 360 rads and distro plate, mainly the clearance of the bottom rad with the fittings of the GPU not interfering. I researched so much dimensions prior to the build just to make sure everything fit and it STILL didn't when I first attempted. I also noticed that the depth of the mobo area is not as tall as many cases so upgrading to a 4090 is out of the question(sticks out like that 3080) so I'll have buy a new case to build in if I do end up going 4090. Quite the learning experience.

    Hi Jay, i worked on the exact same case, trying to fit dual rads with the exception that mine was a side mounted distro plate. Dual Rad was a must for me given the high end parts i was using. So i lifted the vertical gpu mount for clearance on the bottom rad. Adjusted the PCI E slots on the vertical bracket to the use the furthest 2 slots away from the cpu to create space. It was a really tight fit to get the 2 fittings on the cpu block, so i changed to soft black tubes.

    I love seeing these full builds and knowing I'm not the only one that runs into problems that makes it up to a week, if I can get parts fast, building one computer and seeing how Jay handles the problems that I run into as well, except if my parts don't work together, I have to wait until I get them online.
    Finally! Someone besides me, I've been doing water cooling since 08, 09 maybe and this is the first time someone besides me said a radiator can provide passive cooling. Also, I have an 011D Evo airflow, no distribution plate, and I had a lot of hassles with this "easy to build in" case, I used all EK parts, ended up with a slim 360 in the bottom, a PE rad on top and hanging an FLT 240 rad/res from the top rad. I wanted the best airflow possible because I run Folding@home in the cold winter days and nights, putting full power on my Ryzen 5950x and EVGA 3080 in a full EK water block, I finally got it the way I wanted after changing the configuration multiple times but it runs fantastic now.
    Now I'm building a personal gaming computer with EK parts in a Corsair 5000D airflow and running into problems making me wish I'd bought another 011D Evo. 🙄😂

    I literally swapped to this exact case yesterday. I was debating to get the NZXT H9 Elite but it's too expensive so I ended up getting this one. I'm glad you made a video how to watercool in this case. I'll definitely use this video as a reference so I won't miss anything.

    Good recovery on all those issues! But I can see from the condensation, the coolant is pretty warm even at mostly idle. I like my coolant 1-2°C over ambient max idling. And like 7°C over ambient full load.

    Seeing these longer format videos where everything doesn't go perfectly, or at least the problems aren't cut out are really helpful. What would you have done if you couldn't replace the motherboard with another that had argb headers?

    It's quite true that you have always something unexpected. Last weekend I built a system for a friend of mine. A lian li evo with 360 galahad but the normal version (not sl120). He wanted to put 3 lian li infinity on the radiator on top while using the fans of the cooler in the side mount. That day we discovered that these fans are smooth where the screw should pass, so they were "optimized" them for the radiator. Long story short we zip-tied them to the side mount bracket, works flawless and are nice too (he loves this modding detail so it's ok)

    i built in the pcmr version of this case, with same front distro and i vert mounted the gpu. i had to use 360 pe on top and 360se rear mounted with fans behind it( vert mount only allowed 120mm fans and my 10gb sfp+ nic). i also had to dremel the corner of io sheild to fit it with fittings. it was fighting me every part of the way, thanks for making me feel better...thought it was just me.

    Its a good video showing the problems you could encounter if you haven't thought about the parts you need and whether they go together, but the case just looks to small and everything looks to cramped together.

    Very interesting! Although I must say, this reinforces my aversion to custom watercooling solutions (for myself). All the pipe routing headaches, risks of liquid spills/leaks, etc. just seems more than I'd prefer. I understand the allure of watercooling and that many others are really good at doing it so it's easy for them, but for me, I'll stick to air cooling and maybe AIO only if I have to.

    There are 3d print models online that extends the side window out to fit a 4090. It should definitely work for this build. You will have to replace the feet on the case with the 3d printed one.

    Drain... I love the new EKWB drain, where it doesn't take as much room.
    Also, EKWB has a pressure pump for pressurizing the parts and the loop for testing for leaks. Makes it easy to test!

    I've been using this distro-plate since October 2021 in my build and it has been great. First time I've done any watercooling on a system and this made it really approachable (I guess that's the right term?).
    Anyway, good stuff.

    I ran into the same issue using the EK distro plate. The pump is in the bottom right corner, so I could only run 2 fans on the bottom. Ended up running the rad in the side mount and filling the top and bottom with fans. Ran great, but I eventually moved my rig into a Phanteks Luxe2

  • @phillipzan2005
    @phillipzan2005 Рік тому

    Love the video hope you do more like this, this year. I personally would of done a thin rad on the side. Maybe not with fans on it. This way that big hole is filled and has some extra cooling. Granted only passive cooling, but cooling none the less. Also I know it is too late but you should look into the Bykski drain fittings. They have a really cool push/pull instead of a lever valve drain fitting. It has made some builds really easy. I have used it for a couple years and have had zero issues with it.
