[@adamw9764]

I always thought it would be cool to see a SFF case with a big ass external radiator setup...love it!

[@gamertechlive1780]

Yeah well by seeing this external rads build. I decided to do the same when I found out that my 2x 360mm think rads on my full tower case is not really enough if a 300w GPU is added and since I also added the 2x nvme in the loop. It's a full tower but can only fit 2x 360mm the design can fit 7x 120mm fan but there is a clearance problem with a 360mm top and front so I can only do a 360 top, 240 front and 120 rear or 360 top and front. I uses 30mm rads (thin) but same issue the fittings will be hitting each other. So I have a extra 360mm think rad and will add another one and use it externally like this vid for a separate GPU loop only.

[@heatnup]

kinda pointless right? couldn't you just buy something like the new da6 xl by streacom and put two 280 radiators on the brackets?

[@Joh_Lam]

Honestly have been running such a setup for years and have always been wondering why it hasn't been picked up by more youtubers. Everyone is free to build what they want, but for me that's the way to run a watercooled pc. Performance and silence.

[@dnlzy]

Because then you lose the compact aspect. And it costs. And it really isn't necessary. I am running a 12700k with a 3080 with a single 280 GTS. Completely silence. How? When I work only either the GPU or the CPU works - bot not both. When I game, both are working, but the CPU usually doesn't draw more than ~90w - and I use headphones so I don't heart the fans anyway.

[@Joh_Lam]

@@dnlzy I do agree that you have to distinguish what is objectively necessary and what isn't. Compact aspect is not relevant to me, as I don't carry my pc around and the radiator can be placed anywhere, even behind your desk, so it doesn't bother me space wise. I'd assume that your cooling liquid in your configuration depending on your room temperature reaches 45-50C or even above. That's not an issue, but I simply prefer it to stay lower with fans spinning slowly, as I don't use headphones all the time. Even with my 3090 under full load my cooling liquid doesn't exceed about 30C and therefore the core stays around 40C which gives a higher boost clock to Nvidia cards. Not much of a difference, but as an enthusiast I don't want a watercooled card with 60C core temp. Besides my 10900k being overclocked and I like to keep temps as low as possible as well. But of course you don't need that. Optimizing is just my hobby.

[@dnlzy]

@@Joh_Lam I agree about the optimization part, but from my point of view, spending a lot of money (and space) brining the GPU core to 40c when its throttling point is 74c is inefficient - and not optimized.

[@Aexeq]

@@dnlzy if water temps are higher, radiators are more efficient. I for example run an A4 H2O with GTS240 + DDC internally and MoRa + D5 externally. At home everything is exceptionally cool, while the GTS is still enough for on the go.

[@heatnup]

Yeah i think cases like the new da6 xl by streacom make this kind of setup pointless though. You get about the same performance if not exactly the same by using two 280mm radiators on it, its more compact yet has full compatibility. Can't exactly complain about dust though too because you already have to clean your radiator in an external radiator setup.

[@DrSpriteZero]

YES! Please more external loops

[@curfewviolater]

This is the best build I’ve ever seen. Simple, clean, visibly compact, and an absolute monster of a cooling system. Truly good work.

[@sometech6971]

@@franksun4017 6:30 you can see cable coming out of the pump. So i guess the pump and fans must have a separate power supply

[@RHDM.]

Amazing to see, watched this video multiple times! nicely done

[@P8qzxnxfP85xZ2H3wDRV]

How does the power delivery for the external radiator work? Do the fans run at a fixed speed? Please, we need a follow-up video for this one.

[@GGFEvents]

Yep. I decided to run the pump from a AC to DC power pack which converts to sata to run the pump. and because the pump is the D5 next. The fans can plug into it. Then with the software I can set it up with a long USB lead for a fan curve via the water temp then remove the cable. But I'm just using a fixed speed as the fans are only 800rpm and super quiet.

[@tomppeli.]

@@GGFEvents Can you set the fan speed on liquid temperature in BIOS or do you use a software for that?

[@TheTechAdmin]

In 2007, I built 5 "Media PCs" for the New Jersey governor Jon Corzine. This video reminds me of those builds (but not the specs, lol). They were the first quad core cpus by Intel at the time with 16Gb of RAM ( which was crazy over the top at the time. )

[@holley3693]

this build was sick to see, so many ideas are now flowing.

[@ogsecret978]

That is so cool idea. i think i do setup like this next time! i think u r building most beutiful computer in yt! you think every aspect every time. Good content!

[@paskowitz]

For people who can't big brain why this setup is a good idea: If you have limited desk space and a custom loop you want to appreciate the aesthetics of... a case with a large amount of radiator capacity or one that you put on the floor is not an option. If you have high wattage components and want a quiet build, a small form factor case is not an option. If you frequently change out components such as your GPU every year and don't want to go through the pain in the ass process of filling and draining an entire loop, neither small form factor or large case are ideal. There are numerous benefits to doing an external radiator. Other than the situations above, you now have the option of using pretty much any small form factor case that can fit your base hardware, you can change cases without having to change any cooling hardware outside of a new GPU block and some tubing. Putting the radiator on the floor or off to the side or really anywhere out of your immediate vicinity prevents it from being a practical detriment. This really isn't complicated. And if you are skeptical of this approach, just wait a year or two when it becomes even more popular.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you. But a lot of people these days believe this type or hardware doesn't require much cooling and will run in any SFF case with a basic AIO

[@paskowitz]

@@GGFEvents in some cases they may even be right. However, people who spend a lot of money on top end hardware often want to get the absolute most (performance, temperatures, noise, and aesthetics) out of their hardware. Personally, I don't understand how the basic setup crowd can't see that. By that logic, any custom loop is illogical.

[@GGFEvents]

@@paskowitz yep. That's correct. Lots of SFF reviews will show a 5950x hitting only 150w or so.

[@brandoncorwin8812]

I about fell out of my chair when you pulled that big ass heat exchanger. out.

Im in the process of building something similar. Found a MO-RA 420 PRO locally and going to perform the mod for 4x NF-A20 PWM. Like the idea of building a PC with external modular cooling using some QDs. This video works as a huge inspiration. Thanks

[@dexheavy85]

Finally someone made water cooled SFF build the proper way. You can't jam 800W of components and expect one or two 240 mm rads to cool it with no volume of air moving through the case.

[@GGFEvents]

Yep :D

[@Predilus]

Uuuuh i like the no holds barred radiator idea! David and Goliath join forces.

[@duskparanormal]

Yet another unique masterpiece from the GOAT and the editing on this one is just CRISPY. If anything motivates me to do a loop again with that case it's this build.. especially with a now standing desk needing less footprint. I miss ITX builds and it's about time.

Hehe, was wondering when this type of build would happen. That "cross" fan hub at 4:25 worked out so nicely. Did they make it specifically for the MoRa or did it just work out that way? Very nice. Edit: Also wanted to ask how much coolant it took to fill this thing lol.
