I love that even on builds where someone watching would know what you're talking about, you still explain things do and why. Helps with small details people tend to miss. Great video!
Jay, I've learned so much from you, so I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you and your team put in making these videos. All of you seems like really cool people to hang around. Thanks a lot folks :)
See my worry about this setup is once you load it up with some video rending and it starts to heat up... is it going to blow a hose off? Because it doesn't have a reservoir, there's no place for thermal expansion of the fluid. This is why cars have reservoirs for their coolant. It's not just a nifty place to keep some extra coolant fluid, its a place for the cooling system to use for thermal expansion and contraction. I'm not saying this won't work... I just have some reservations about it. That being said... the radiator, if it's beefy enough should be able to cool the system efficiently enough to keep the liquid from expanding enough to blow a hose so that might be the key. Either way... might be interesting in another video down the road to stick a pressure gauge in one of the radiator plug holes and see what the internal pressures get up to under full work load.
PC Cooling wont get hot enough for enough expansion to blow a hose, The reservoir is for filling and monitoring purposes only on a PC build. Back in the day there were no tanks for filling and it was done with a hose , fill, burp, fill, burp... etc until it was full, the res resolved that issue. Also on a side note your res does not have to be 100% full bout 50-75% will do just fine.BRAIN FART! Radiators on a car rely on the cap to open up for expansion and contraction so NO a res does nothing for expansion and contraction on a sealed system. It would need a way to open up to an EXTERNAL res with an air hole to do that job.
I'll leave the other comments alone as I don't have time to nitpick, but j will say that the temperature difference won't be enough to create a lot of expansion pressure, and the sift lines can expand just a bit, which should be enough to compensate. :)
On my SFF builds without reservoirs, I load up the system as much as I can and get water temp up with low fan speed. Then I seal it up. When it cools, there is slight negative pressure, but when loaded it equalizes. This technique also helps remove air in the system, as the slightly negative pressure pulls the air out of the loop faster.
9:20 the clamps ARE for sealing. The point of a clamp is to deform the tubing around the barbs themselves in order to increase the pressure the barb places on the inner wall of the tube, thus increasing sealing. Most zip ties probably dont have enough squeezing force to perform those functions and are more for looks, but other types of clamps (spring, worm drice, etc) will increase the allowed pressure in the system without leaking. However if the inner diameter of the tube is small enough compared to the outer diameter of the barb, and the tube flexible enough to grab the barb, then youre right you can get adequate sealing pressure that way. The important thing is that the hose is deformed around the barb, then any pressure on the hose will force the hose deeper into the barb creating a better seal.
I really like this build. I use a laptop as a computer for everything from gaming to working on small projects but I keep it plugged into an external monitor with a mouse and keyboard to boot. this compact and powerful unit would be perfect! I'd love to have something like. Thanks for the content!
That is very cool this is one of my favorite vids/series you have put out, I always like to see the mini builds because they do take a lot of extra effort to make them work sometimes
Small factor case is no problem. In servers you have one unit with 2 processors, and everything works smooth, because of the good direction of flow of air. These liquid radiators are blocking a large area of cooling potential. 4 years ago I had a liquid cooler on my home server, and after one year of 24/7 work, it stopped. To my horror when opening it up everything was fried, as the liquid flooded the inside, since then I never approached liquid cooling ever again. It was stock tubing not custom made.
Meh Nvidia maybe. He was one of the few to defend the price increase even though that meant the new generation video cards give the same price/performance as the old generation. You get the same performance if you bought a 1080Ti in early 2017 or a 2080 today (but less VRAM) and you pay the same as well. He defended that!
This kind and style of video is exactly why you have 1.7million subscribers!!! Keep up the awesome work you're doing. We are all definitely entertained!
I would recommend having a tiny amount of air in the system (at the top "reservoir" only). This is due to simple mechanics and physics. 1- The system is a closed-loop. Meaning nothing gets in, and nothing gets out. Keep this in mind as I continue to make the point. 2- As the liquid warms and heats up from cooling the cpu and gpu, it will naturally expand in volume (the simple physics part). 3- Liquid does not compress like air does. As the liquid expands, due to the heat, it will not compress (hydrodynamic). With air, as it is pressurized it will compress. Think of jamming 10 gallons of air volume into a 1 gallon tank. It is under pressure, but the tank can withstand the pressure (to its max limit). So in a "closed system" the expanding heated air can compress, but the "enclosure" should hold (to its max limit). There is some built-in "give-n-take" - with the weakest point being the fittings. However, with liquids there is no compression. So as its volume expands from the heat, it will not compress. You cant jam 10 gallons of liquid into a 1 gallon tank. The pressure will definitely want to transfer outwards. This is the mechanical principle of how hydraulic jacks work. As you apply pressure to the liquid with the handle, the piston will move outward and lift the car (because the liquid does not compress and transfers the pressure). The weakest points of this jack system are the seals. Once they have the tiniest of leaks, the whole pressurizing will drop to zero - because the liquid will leak out and not mechanically transfer the pressure. The point is that it will leak. Since your system is closed, and filled 100% to the top with no air, the liquid will have nowhere to expand as it heats up. Thus it will transfer the pressure outwards - and your weakest point are the fittings with no clamps. But if you have a little air (at the top), it will compress and act as a cushion - absorbing the expansion of the liquid (to the enclose's max limit). Another good example is the coolant busting out of the radiator when a car overheats. There is a spring-loaded cap on the radiator, and a small plastic reservoir on the side to catch the spill of normal heat expansion. Either you reinforce the fittings with clamps, or add some "give-n-take" by having a little air on the top. I would recommend both a little air, and clamps. It would be a shame for the system to be ruined due to simple hydrodynamic mechanical-physics. But if you don't want the system, I'll gladly take it off your hands - for free of coarse =)
You are small time. How to water cool a cell phone... Actually is that what you meant? If so ignore this comment, I'm too far along to erase this comment after typing and I'm kinda lazy, friend.
For the record I am a fan of the show. It's casual, fun , and informative. Clearly not going to be as entertaining as a tightly edited video like this one.
My week was great on it's way, and this vid still managed to pick it up! Was waiting for this one a long time. Now I just have to get the parts and reproduce what you did here
@@callumsweeney4308 Yes but those holes are no longer needed because the whole thing is watercooled with 4 140mm fans pushing air through the system. He might need to keep a vent over the psu fan but the graphics card side could definitely have a glass panel. The only reason he wouldn't want a glass panel on this is because it's meant to be thrown in a suitcase to take to CES.
@Transistor Jump not sure about that, the vents on the sides are more for air-cooling I thought, seeing as the fans are at the top and bottom of of the build
With only having small holes on the side the white light would just blend in with the metal. Contrasting colors are best in this situation. If it had a clear panel I would totally agree with you though.
Sometimes. Depends on temp. It expands when it turns into ice. Given the crazy things he did with the gamers nexus and overclocking it may actually be a problem lol
Unless the system was getting to the boiling point of the water, it really shouldn't be an issue. The pressure change will be almost negligible and expansion is incredibly small on that scale.
You should do a "Beginners water cooling build" video. I know for me I was able to piece together enough knowledge from you and Linus to make it kinda work but it would be nice to have a "Do all these things" video. Talking about ideal layouts with drainage and all that.
They totally need to make little tempered glass side panels that slide in where the metal ones do for those cases. That'd be /perfect/. They could line the edges of the glass with felt or metal strips to make the glass hold up better against the metal chassis. Jay, tell them if they do this, I KNOW they will sell a crap ton of these cases. I will definitely buy one.
This is why I was really impressed with Corsair's Corsair One build. 12L case, 2x240mm radiatiors. Top end specs. You pay a prebuilt tax for it but it's still pretty incredible.
I know it’s hard to get the parts since you don’t do a lot of sponsored videos with other waterblock retailers, but you should do a more updated video about the compatibility between water cooling parts, what each company has to offer, what you’d recommend/denounce, and what works together. I’ve been looking for a video like that and the closest I’ve found are some of your watercooling guides, I feel like theres a space for that video that you could fill!
Silver coolant, matching the case color would be sick, and hard tube would be amazing, but we'd need an easier less risky way to fill and drain the loop, but I digress, really would like to see glass on the sides. The hats look so satisfying, it's like a well framed painting.
Pretty late on posting a comment to this but I built a portable desktop with an overall height of 5" which includes a foldable monitor (monitor is within those 5" if you were wondering). It uses a standard 120mm AIO water cooler but what i really want to do is get it to less than 3" w/ monitor and a 2x 90mm rad and custom loop. Difficult and probably expensive but it would be more practical to take on-the-go... kinda.
before I switched to compression fittings I always ran 7/16 id 5/8 od tubing on 1/2 barbs without clamps or zip ties. Never had a leak or pop off in 20+ years of water cooling. I just went compression cause they look cool.
I have an idea, it'd take away from the looks of the gpu, but you could have a custom made reservoir fit into that cavity, because finding a pre-made one would probably be impossible. But, that case is designed to fit dual slot cards, the card's water block essentially makes it a single slot, there would be room for an oddly shaped reservoir, with probably a decent amount of volume if you took up most of the cavity. With careful snaking of a tube, you could even have a proper filler tube. I know it's custom work, which takes time, but it could be done. I wish the designers of this case took into consideration of extending the front panel somehow. I know the center supports, front, and back are one solid piece, but it'd be cool if they adapted the tophat idea to the front of the case somehow. It'd expand possibilities a lot.
6:44 Neat, the case came with a leather strap so you can hook the computer onto your keychain!

You don't want the tiniest bit of air in the system for expansion of water? Wait, water doesn't expand huh.. or does it.
Sometimes. Depends on temp. It expands when it turns into ice. Given the crazy things he did with the gamers nexus and overclocking it may actually be a problem lol
It might add some pressure, he did say when a cracked a fitting loose liquid came out. But should not build enough to be an issue.
Flex tube handles that, I guess. ;)
...besides - metal also expand when heated, so... :D
Unless the system was getting to the boiling point of the water, it really shouldn't be an issue. The pressure change will be almost negligible and expansion is incredibly small on that scale.
Iirc water is at its densest at 4°C, higher or lower in temp will cause expansion.

before I switched to compression fittings I always ran 7/16 id 5/8 od tubing on 1/2 barbs without clamps or zip ties. Never had a leak or pop off in 20+ years of water cooling. I just went compression cause they look cool.
Such a great build getting mine next month!
That music at 3:00 though! Dope AF
I have an idea, it'd take away from the looks of the gpu, but you could have a custom made reservoir fit into that cavity, because finding a pre-made one would probably be impossible. But, that case is designed to fit dual slot cards, the card's water block essentially makes it a single slot, there would be room for an oddly shaped reservoir, with probably a decent amount of volume if you took up most of the cavity. With careful snaking of a tube, you could even have a proper filler tube.
I know it's custom work, which takes time, but it could be done.
I wish the designers of this case took into consideration of extending the front panel somehow. I know the center supports, front, and back are one solid piece, but it'd be cool if they adapted the tophat idea to the front of the case somehow. It'd expand possibilities a lot.
