I would have gone all EK for water cooling components. Not only for uniformity as mixing components can sometimes be problematic, but also because I think they're more reputable.
While EK yes is a good brand, so is Corsair. Their tubing is very easy to work with and their fittings are made by Bitspower. The radiators from Corsair are made by HWLabs. In terms of their blocks I am not sure who makes them, but they keep the components plenty cool. The EK distro was the best fit for this build, but everything else is pretty uniform
@@PidgyPCsekwb needs to work on innovation and cost to compete with others in the market. They are just expensive middle of the pack products. I went with Corsair for a bit and switch to bitspower. They are both pretty awesome. And performance to $ is awesome.
@@jet613 I really havent had any issues with EK water cooling components.
Amazing video, love the build man, but it'd be awesome to get some commentary on how you chose the parts you did, and most relevant to me, like a walkthrough of the blocking process on that GPU and how to do the custom loops. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you! All of that is coming, just waiting for the room to open up so I have a dedicated studio 🙂
Thank you for the feedback!
Great build like always, those are crazy bends you got there, I wished you had taken a video on how you did those bends, I bet people would watch that video over and over
One of these days I will do a video like that, just need to get better about filming something like that since its all done by hand and the space is limited once all my stuff is out to do the tube runs
4:01 awwww it's just a wee little power supply lol
Hehe!! Tiny but mighty 😆
This is also a very clean build.
Thank you!
Awesome job Ben. Looks great. Love the colours too!!!
Thank you buddy!!!
This looks amazing! If I may recommend sth is the use a 180 angle 12HPWR connector to hide the GPU cable.
I had thought about it, but when I built this system, the CableMod 180⁰ adapter V1.1 wasnt ready yet and I did buy a 90⁰ cable for the GPU, but 1 I didnt like how it looked and 2 it hit the glass
Another great build dude!
Really appreciate that buddy!!!
Awesome build !!!!!!
Thank you!!
BIUTIFUL! 😍🤩
Thank you!
Looks Amazing
Thank you!
Looks great. Thanks.
No problem! Thank you!
Gotta love nvme taking away all the wired mess
COMPLETELY agree!!!
Awesome Build, love it 😍. What are the temps at gaming and how fast are the 4 rad fans spinning?
Thank you!
Temps are fantastic in it actually. The CPU doesnt get higher then 69°C and the GPU sits right around 55-60°C depending on the game. As far as fan speed goes, I have the fans and the pump at a locked speed. Its that perfect level of silence meets performance. It is barely noticeable when there is nothing on buy is quickly drowned out as soon as there is any noise. I believe I have the fans locked at 60% and the pump at 65%.
@@PidgyPCs Thank you for your answer. I'm planning a build with 2x 30mm thick 240mm Rads paired with a 4080 Super and 14700. I think I have enough cooling capacity then.
@@Sebi12248 no worries at all! Should be plenty!! I am doing a build now with dual 240mm rads cooling a 4080 (non super) and a 13700K. So that should be plenty 😁
I have exact same TG case with ASrock B760M PRO RS/D4 with LGA 1700 socket, is it safe to use that motherboard for water cooling with 14700K or i9? I currently have 12400F in it.
Should be fine. Just make sure you get the correct CPU block. Any motherboard really can have a waterblock put on it, its just a matter of if the CPU underneath is worth it to water cool. The 14700K or an i9 I would say is the perfect candidate to be water cooled.
beautiful pc but with those scores and frame testing it was a waste in my opinion
Thank you! A waste for what though? I use this PC to play games in 4K native on my 65" LG CX TV. It does that without any issue 😁
Why did you choose the ddc pump instead of the d5?
I originally wanted to go with the D5 pump, but it wasn't going to fit in the system with the D5 brackets the res came with. I attempted to put the DDC brackets on and let the D5 pump go into the hole of the PSU shroud, but the D5 pump collided with the PSU and wouldn't let the res sit flush against the bracket. So I went DDC.
Would’ve been more impressive in a tower 100.
Thats the case I wanted this build in as I was going to go Mini ITX. Just unfortunately there wasnt going to be enough radiator support to handle the 7800x3D and the 4090. So I went with something that could handle it that was still smaller form factor
@@PidgyPCs I know. I’m about to do a i5 12400 and a 3080 in the tower 100. I think I can stack two 120mm radiators one over the power supply, second on top. Playing around to see how it goes. You could’ve done it on a tower 200, I have a 240 and a 120 radiator in that build.
@@gomd3rd The Tower 200 is a good looking case, but I still dont think it is enough radiator support. With the 4090 being a TDP of 450w and a 120mm rad only supplying at most 150w of cooling, the 4090 alone needs a 360mm rad. So in all honesty, the Tower 200 wouldnt of had enough radiator support to cool both the 4090 and the 7800x3D
@@PidgyPCs yeah def onto something, gotta do some heavy modding to try and fit more radiators in. Love the vid, look forward to new ones. You earned a new sub!
@@gomd3rd Right?! Definitely appreciate that for sure!!!
Bro ,can you tell me how can you hold EK Quantum Kinetic 120mm on it?
The holes on the bracket for the reservoir match up perfectly with the open hole of the PSU housing. So all i did was take 4 of the screws, 4 washers, and the 4 nuts from the baggy and sandwiched the housing between the bracket and washers. The only way this can be done is if you use a SFX/SFX-L PSU and you put the head of the screws on the PSU side not the pump side. After you do that, the reservoir holds to the PSU housing and wont move.
@@PidgyPCs thx bro i will going to make it ,thx so so much
@@ccmhk0123 No problem at all!!
Is the AM5 secure frame necessary to hold the water block?
No, the contact frame is not needed. I just figured might as well put it on, it has everything else LOL
@@PidgyPCs So i can keep the stock frame from the mobo?
@@hugosimon1474 Yes. All the contact frame does is hold the CPU in place. The AM5 doesnt suffer from the same issue as the Intel CPUs. The CPU block screws into the AMD factory back plate, you just need to remove the cooler brackets off the motherboard
Would you consider selling this build?
No, unfortunately not. I use this one for my personal gaming system
My brother in christ, that is a 33L case , if that is an SFF build then what is my 18L dual 240 rad 4090 supposed to be , AFF ( atomic form factor ) ? 😂😂😂
LOL okay, okay... its slightly larger then SFF 😆
What’s temps do you get?
Temps were good actually. After a 30min Cinebench R23 run the CPU didnt get higher then 81° and on a 30min Port Royal loop the GPU didnt get higher then 61°. Coolant temp once fully utilized never peaked higher then 35°
Gaming temps?
An amd 7 7800x3d is not the best money can buy
With the problems of the 13th/14th gen i9s prematurely dying, the 7800x3D is still the best gaming CPU money can buy due to its price to performance numbers.
