AliExpress Water Cooling DOESN'T Suck?!

[@JarrodsTech]

You should run a long term test of the cheap one vs more expensive one to see how long the cheap stuff lasts.

[@walkermorales337]

Jarrod'sTech like the one year pressure test, except with the water cooling loop

[@skaniver1]

i agree, 100000%, please do this!

[@mikahl757]

Yes a long term test and enough AliExpress parts to assemble a PC from scratch.

[@pushthepro]

I literally have the "nice" cpu block, and the white 360 rad for almost a year now, with 0 corrosion, and 0 visible problems. :D

[@pushthepro]

Also to further support the claim that aliexpress watercooling isn't bad, I even have aliexpress fittings, pump and reservoir. All this in a hardline build.

[@MyNameIssaSimon]

This is proof that a lot of watercooling parts are hella overpriced

[@devantetoppin7879]

Pretty much I mean I get economies of scale. Clearly there are few people doing custom loops in the grand scheme of things. Yes this often means they aren't able deploy super mass production techniques but the price of a basic loop these days from a company like EKWB for example can easily run you a grand like you could build a whole nother mid high end range pc for that kind of money. Just no way in hell a rad, some water blocks and a pump / res should cost anywhere near that. That you can find water pumps that are used in other applications for dirt cheap but for water cooling all of the sudden they are priced like they are space age technology that took a next generation fab to build which is nonsense. You can easily build a whole loop with a brand like byski or barrow and spend at least half if not less and get equal results.

[@badviemy]

EK nowadays costs a bomb.

[@SolidGreenDay]

Definitely. WIth Bykski and Barrow being more mainstream now in china, they are such good options for more affordable waterblocks and fittings. You save a good amount with pumps too, but probably better to go for one with warranty. Also I believe Bykski makes gpu waterblocks for almost every card out there, so if there is someone with that weird pcb card, bykski probably has it.

[@turtlelore2]

not to mention that a good $90 air cooler is about 20 times less hassle with similar performance. Unless RGB and gamer swag is worth the extra $200 + future maintenance

[@Skrixm]

Its overpriced but because China labour cost is cheaper. However, I feel that there is more to the story than just the manufacturing cost.

That's what I'm gonna do in like two weeks :D

[@MrMartwy]

I remember building watercooled rig back in 1999. Jeez, it was almost 20 years ago... Anyway, i had a friend who had access to the milling machine (just analog, CNC wasn't that popular in those days) and he knew how to use it. I new smth about welding copper, and together we made 3 blocks for CPUs. We were using aquarium pumps. And car radiators from the scrapyard - in fact, my radiator was from the heating loop, the smaller one that heats the air pumped into the car. Custom made water reservoir (from a lunch box ;-)). Of course, the pump was running on AC outlet from the wall, so i made a smart switch, i used 5v line form the computer power supply to switch the AC line on, so the pump started automatically after starting a PC. My next 4 rigs were cooled by this solution... I remember a guy, who burried a big water tank 2 meters below the ground, and used it as a "heat pool". It was way over 1 ton of water, so it did not get heated even during a long gaming session. And cooled itself nicely during the breaks.

[@CoreyPL]

Barrow actually makes pretty good liquidcooling parts. Their fittings are used by many people, with a lot of coverage on different tech forums. I've decided to build almost full loop using Barrow parts: CPU block, fittings, their "D5" pump, res, tools etc. Only things not from Barrow were radiator (full copper one added to much weight to package, so I've bought one locally), GPU block (bought EVGA 1080Ti Hydro edition), tubing and fluid. Since my order was a big one I've got a nice discount from seller and DHL shipping for $15 to EU. Whole process from processing order to shipping, customs and delivery took about 3-4 weeks with shipping alone done in 4 days. Latest CPU blocks from Barrow are really not that bad - ones with a higher channel density. During tests there were maybe 2C difference between EK Supremacy. I'm very happy with my purchase and performance. Price vise whole order with DHL shipping and customs tax included was about 50-60% of the price for the same parts from a mid-range EU/US company and about 1/3rd of the high-end one. So that kind of savings for a negligible performance difference is totally worth it in my opinion.

[@ethanwang6702]

CoreyPL exactly,I'm using Barrow's fittings due to it has 4 o-rings that makes me feel more reassured.

[@SolarianStrike]

In fact I am using Barrow's TR4 block with coolant temp display, works pretty well so far. Oh and also the Bykski TR4 block actually easily out-preformed the older EK version, as tested on HardOCP.

[@CoreyPL]

I Agree Adrian. I'm using Barrow LTFHB-02N 115X RGB - it's their latest revision CPU block with 0.2mm channels and it really performs like EK Supremacy for half a price. RGB lighting is compatible with my Gigabyte board so I can use Fusion software to sync all the effects.

[@hofinatorDE]

Try parts from the automotive industry. The coolers are big enough and the electric pumps are running at 12V. What can go wrong?

[@ethansuter4785]

Well for one thing they probably pull a high current, and so could potentially fru your psu, so yeah. For another thing, they'd be pretty noisy. For another thing they probably aren't using mostly pure copper or nickel playing, so compatibility with different metal type loops would be nonexistent, unless you like corrosion.

[@hofinatorDE]

Pumps from pre-heaters are between 1 and 10A/ 12-120W. noisy? around 50-65db. Most parts in the cooling system are made of pa6gf30 and aluminum. And in the end it's about the fun.

[@ethansuter4785]

Hey it's your system bud. Go wild if you want to.

[@thebestnerd4444]

how does the flat plate water block compare to just regular air cooling?

[@dalohse]

biggest advantage of watercooling is the massive amount of "material" (water) to heat up. even when you would use no pump at all it would take very long to overheat because it takes a LOT of heat(energy) to heat up like 2 liters of water. radiator and fans are just used to dissipate heat.

[@CompatibilityMadness]

Flat plate doesn't get bonus for surface area... but it gets boost on the sheer ammount of water that can go though it. That's why it's pretty bad in comparison, but still good enough to not overheat a 5960X.

[@JustOneGuy]

compared to stock better, compared to any decent 30€ one, not so much

[@ShadowChemos]

not sure if you ever seen a pump fail, but it doesn't take long for the water to heat up unless your loop is hooked up to your bathtub lol

[@CofeeAuLait]

You know, i was a fan of watercooling once but then... with the actual performance you get from modern air cooling. It is just not worth it. There's too much HAZZLE involved, not to mention all the dangers. Unless you're really into heavy overclocking, it is not worth it.

[@VecheslavNovikov]

I ran two $3 aquarium pumps in series for redundancy, at 5V to reduce noise. They both failed, but it may be because I was using ethanol as a coolant and it doesn't play too well with plastic, I think the impeller got stuck causing a coil to burn out. I then switched to water and used a bigger no-name pump and it was fine, apart from being a bit noisy. I finally switched to a syscooling pump, that worked great for a while until it started making a horrendous noise. Somehow the inner bearing became loose, which is odd since it's just a plastic impeller sitting on what felt like a ceramic rod. Added a copper shim into the bearing and it was fine until I pulled the loop apart completely. In the beginning I was cooling an i3-6100 AND an R9 290 on the same loop with a single aluminium 120mm radiator in push-pull without hitting thermal limit. It was MUCH quieter than the reference 290 blower and performed similarly.

Bought mostly Bykski parts for my loop through AliExpress. Took like 2.5 months for everything to arrive because I ordered on 11.11 and everything got tied up in shipping. Ended up buying Hardware Labs' Black Ice radiators from Performance PCs because Ali's pricing plus shipping (11.11 pricing, not just everyday, plus no free shipping for the brass rads) matched the price of the Black Ice rads including their shipping. One advantage to AliExpress and Bykski/Barrow is the variety and availability of GPU water blocks. So much more than what big names like EK or Bitspower have available. I did have a defective Bykski D5 pump (ratings were good, I think it was just mine that was a dud). Ended up returning it (and have gotten my money back in a reasonable amount of time) and bought an EK pump from Micro Center since most of my loop was already built and I didn't want to go back and re-install my air cooling while I wait another 2 months for a replacement.

Now the question is: cheap water cooling or proper air cooling?

A decent chinese water cooling loop should be better for CPU overclocking than even the best air coolers. If you don't plan to overclock a lot then air is superior being easier, cheaper, safer.

[@BitterCynical]

It was cheaper for me to replace my old 4c/8t CPU with a 6c/12t and overclock it as high as it can go on cheap water cooling than replacing my entire system with X99 or Ryzen. It would be the same even if DDR4 was not overpriced. On air I would be sitting at ~400MHz less which is a big deal for games that benefit from high single thread performance. Naturally you have no need to water cool a brand new high end 14nm CPU if you don't plan to set benchmark high scores. But of course most water cooling is done by snobs who can afford to throw 5k at a PC just for the lols and bragging rights while 99.9999% of the time they have no practical gains from it in their daily gaming where their GPUs choke on 4k resolution.

[@Liamv4696]

"surprisingly looks pretty legit" As if all the "name brands" aren't just made in the same factories and just have their logos CNC'd on.

[@LookingGlass69]

This. They're just rebranding from the same Chinese factories. Those 30 dollars ear plugs with the tiny aluminum can? You can the same ones out of Ebay for 2 dollars.

[@N1GHTKN1GHT]

You should build a whole liquid cooled rig all from AliExpress! Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Tower & Guts and then benchmark it against say Amazon or store bought components!

[@rowanellis8259]

Been using the VTG 240 water cooler for 6 months. I7 7700k at 5ghz, 1.320 volt. Runs mint, keeps things cool. About 5 degrees hotter than a corsair h110, but less than half the price!

[@WorldRaceMVG]

I watched this video on a phone so take that RED. Also nice meme

[@wreak3r]

Nope it have not evolved. Mainstream brands are just overpriced.

[@wangxiaoyang2594]

Bykski is a very very very popular and a big water cooling brand in China, it’s even better known by Chinese than EK or thermaltake. U better get some research Linus.

[@andrewspringer6945]

I'm glad to hear this. I have found some stuff by them and I really like it I'm just worried about the quality as no one I talk to has ever heard of them

[@TheNoviceTech]

王潇洋 I agree with this. Been using bykski and they work perfectly.

[@virendernegi3907]

well the products are decent.. I got a EK PE240 Kit (had to pay import duty @50% of the cost). Then ordered barrow fittings and hardline tube and they are holding pretty good. I really liked the Barrow fittings. The product is well built and high quality (dual) O rings on fittings. Have been using for almost 5-6 months and not a single leak..

[@tylerand]

That throw back to Luke's first video was great

[@madd5]

I was literally considering ali express to buy water cooling and this video comes up. Thanks!

[@emmegio]

I have a full custom rigid tubing loop, all bought from aliexpress. It's been keeping my 1080 and 4770k cool for the past 9 months and it's working great. DISCLAIMER: I've only bought Barrow components, which are the best.

how's tunnelbear doing

[@angelzhang_]

Fat Boo wtf

[@user-uz1jo2uf3n]

TunnelBear went to the earth's core in the year 6969, and was forgotten about since 2018

[@BossManSays]

Fat Boo well done

[@SOSOGUDRANA]

But what if water is expensive and we have to use our bodies to watercool since the human body contains 70% water???

[@nabilainine1998]

it would be 70% as effectif

[@salzstangl]

You can use your bodies... unused water, but it is (depending on your diet) acidic and will probably damage plastic-tubes within weeks Or you can hold your hand down on the cpu, that may actually work to some degree (pun intended)

[@montylemon9445]

Fat Boo Chinese blood cooling vs Taiwanese blood cooling

[@TheAdatto]

Just lean on the cpu. Thats blood cooling. Your body will dissipate the heath

[@motorised1]

you could call your brand dune cooling

[@NickShl]

You CAN use mixed metals in setup - as soon this metals doesn't have electrical connection between them. It acts like a battery - you have two electrodes and electrolyte, but in order to run chemical reaction you have to connect both terminals with wire. I doubt that you can isolate waterblock from CPU, but you actually can isolate radiator from the case.

[@makarickiri]

I can vouche for fittings from Barrow. Cheap and good quality. Ordered fittings for around $50 and it arrived within 2 weeks from AliExpress

[@derekwatkins9022]

Omg that clip of Luke 🤣🤣🤣 Hahaha haha omg that was hilarious I can't stop laughing

[@Adrian-yn4qg]

You should do Scrap Yard Wars with Brett from UFD. He's really entertaining and would make a great partner. Super chat in it for if you have him. I love that guys videos. Please Please Please invite him.!!!!!

[@Holt0216]

It would have been cool for y’all to have a stock cooler (not water cooled). Because cool people that don’t wanna pay the price for cool loops could see how it would compare to their not so cool stock cooler. Wouldn’t that be cool?

[@TheVidNinga]

Cool.

[@FabienPascal]

Barrow is widely used in Asia and it is also built by the OEM who manufactures BitsPower watercooling gears.

[@David-sk7ls]

China given us so much joy, what we'll be without them. "So little money so much fun" who care if it work! 5 bucks coffee

[@zarmaanful]

China gives us EVERYTHING! even the precious "All-American Iphones" are made in China.

[@ShortTube]

It's because these manufacturers are the same ones making the big brand names

[@wongelfski4681]

International companies pay a private label to have their names put on products I can also pay a licensing fee to prevent products from entering the market for a period of time usually 48 months. Some company simply manufacture in China and don’t have to deal with this issue. FYI if you place an order before Chinese new years it’s going to take months for the shipment to be processed. I try to get orders in by the end of August so they are not held up until February

[@blumac9801]

I run my dog to the ground, and they I use his panting to cool my CPU

[@usafsteve1079]

Not mentioned in the video, but does anyone know about getting GPU water blocks for cheap? Even on AliExpress still seeming to be about $80+ a piece and I need to cool both of my 1070's. I know it will be more expensive than CPU cooling but I was hoping for around $20-30 per block so I can keep the whole loop as close to $100-150 as possible. Thanks for any help!

[@dstblj5222]

not really possible as they have to be made on a cnc which adds costs and loss

[@user-ue6iv2rd1n]

Only water cool the cores

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Just buy a 980ti hybrid. They beat 1070s OC'd

[@usafsteve1079]

Shadowofdeath24 I already have the 1070’s, it would be impractical to buy a new card at this point. 111 111 I’ve seen some blocks that are labeled as gpu water locks but look really similar to cpu blocks. Is this what I would need for core only cooling? What about vrm’s?

[@sznikers]

USAF Steve buy gpu core only blocks, they're usually under 50-60$ and top performance. you will just need to get some simple heatsinks on vram and gpu, can salvage them from old gpus or motherboards or just cut with a saw from old non-heatpipe cpu heatsink.

[@wingchester7980]

👏Tech Review 👏

[@qwerty877810]

[@benhogervorst]

A longevity / Reliability test would be great on loops like those.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

I had no idea! My next watercooling loop will be from Ali Express then. I totally planned a loop for my latest rig but wasnt willing to pay the price at a normal shop.

[@wrobin558]

[@mizoramuniversityaizawl814]

Been using custom loop from aliexpress for the past two years, everything from aliexpress, pump, fittings, tube, etc. Not once did i face a problem. Thats is what i have been telling my friends as well, not always necessary to go for popular brands when it comes to custom loop. One more thing, I know people are gonna laughed at me for saying this... don't mix aluminum and copper, etc etc.,. Well my radiator is aluminum, my cpu block is copper, i have been using distilled water for the liquid and i have not experienced corrosion in my loop at all, its been two years, no corrosion. If you are on a budget, get them from aliexpress, you will not be sorry

[@julianjiron8085]

Hey what pump did you use?

[@PatricioRomero_xumi]

Distilled water, that's the important part. Mixed metals on a x ray drffactometer with tap water (an aluminum in line filter) and it got corroded fast and hard.

[@I_Like__bananas]

How did you choose your parts?Did you a forum post about that? would like to hear more about it ^^

[@jameshaxardous7904]

these are the parts i have been using for two years now.. Still working great, no problems so far, temperature is very very respectable, use distilled water, no silver kill coil etc.. needed, corrosion does not happen at all. I have flushed the loop once, that's the only maintenance i did. So, if you are on a budget but want a custom loop system that looks good as well, get them from aliexpress. You can get a custom gpu block for like $60-$100. www.aliexpress.com/item/240mm-18-Tube-Straight-G1-4-Thread-Water-Cooling-Cooler-Heat-Radiator-Exchanger-for-PC-Computer/32840284506.html www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.6.2.30b64c4d83wfCg&orderId=30762252344348&productId=32845969539 www.aliexpress.com/item/Water-cooling-OD-14mm-acrylic-hard-tube-90-degree-connector-double-joint-removable-quick-twist-2/32698393683.html www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Transparent-8-X-12mm-OD-PETG-Tubes-Rigid-Tube-50cm/32706427276.html www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.6.2.4fcc4c4dDFfJ1u&orderId=30441457764348&productId=1000002988014 www.aliexpress.com/item/Square-Computer-water-cooling-3-way-water-flow-meter-speedometer-with-fitting-nuts-blade-optional-LSJ05/32347813575.html www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.6.2.18ab4c4dkvVcUO&orderId=30441416574348&productId=32763885465 www.aliexpress.com/item/G1-4-mini-Silver-Valve-of-female-male-part-for-waterway-control-for-PC-computer-water/32691285135.html www.aliexpress.com/item/OD14mm-Hard-tube-fitting-QYFREEZE-Brass-hand-compression-fitting-nut-G1-4-thread-High-body-design/32669575202.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dV8DeGe
