Building the most powerful watercooled PC in a Toaster

[@BilletLabs]

Thanks so much for all the support folks! There's been a lot of FAQs, so i'll do my best to cover most of them here: 1) Why did you use Intel rather than AMD? Because the customer wanted Intel. We explained this was not the ideal choice for SFF, but they wanted it anyway - this is not just a gaming PC. The latest BIOS update was installed before ever booting into windows, so the microcode update should have fixed any stability issues with the 14900K. 2) Doesn't mixed metals cause corrosion? Copper and brass is fine. Aluminium is not, but there is no aluminium in this loop, the radiators are all copper. 3) How much did this cost? We won't give an exact figure, but the parts (including our own parts) came to around £5k. The time invested (if we weren't filming) would have been around 150 hours. With filming it was closer to 400 hours. This is not our full-time job, hence the 8 months. 4) Can I buy one? For commissioned builds, please drop us an email: [e-mail] and we'll be happy to discuss anything you have in mind. 5) Why aren't you wearing PPE while sanding aluminium? This was a slip in our safety precautions, and we now make sure to wear a respirator for similar work. Thank you for your concerns and advice. 6) Why are your fingernails painted? Because I painted them. I also have a nail polish business (www.snailworks.store), so every week they change, as we develop new formulas and colours. Any more questions please drop them below and I'll do my best to answer them ✌

@@bertilorickardspelar Yeah, 14900+4090 is gonna devour your batteries in a van. BUT... you can undervolt, and even underclock. And those components give absolutely surperb performance per watt when clocked into more "eco" settings. Arguably a 7800X3D might've been a better choice though for wattage & thermals, but... seems like a business-class build, so the buyer may have reasons for their cpu choice. For a van though, 7800X3D and "eco mode". That would turn a van into a sauna in like 15 minutes though... I have a 14x16x8 room which gets pretty toasty with a 4090 4k build, even with a bit of undervolting.

[@mabapro08]

This is genuinely the coolest pc build I've ever seen. Plus, it's ITX :). Just be careful with the 14900k, because most of them are apparently dying. This is probably due to the stock core voltage, which on some motherboards can be as high as 1.65 volts. (you usually wanna keep your voltage below 1.3-1.4 volts depending on who you ask)

[@DigitalJedi]

The latest microcode stops the overvoltage, so as long as that motherboard is up to date on its BIOS, they are in the clear. Testing on my own system with 2 different boards and 8 different RPL B0-based chips (2x 13700KF + 3x 13900K + 1x 14600K + 1x 14700K + 1x 14900KF) hasn't seen any of them exceed 1.55V, and that lone 13700KF was the only one to want more than 1.5V consistently. The other worst offender was the 14700K, which wanted 1.51V to put its worst P-core at the rated max single-core speed, something it wouldn't do without being overclocked as other cores would hit the limit first at lower voltages. I measured a single 1.63V transient lasting 0.92ms on one of the 13900Ks during boot, but this wasn't repeatable and it could have been an error with my setup. Aside from this one suspicious outlier, I would deem the chips safe to use.

[@mabapro08]

@@DigitalJedi That's good to know. Tho ~1.5v still seems kind of high, but I'm no expert, so don't take my words on that one. PS: Amazing awser.

[@DigitalJedi]

@mbpro08 Note that 1.5V was the maximum value I saw in the worst chip. Everything else was between 1.36 and 1.48V. 1.55V is the upper bound set by the microcode, and that should be safe for the chips given they are within the lower temperature limits of TVB.

Im not really a custom build guy, but i am a mechanic so my question is how does it deal with the pressure in the cooling loop over time, as it has no expansion chamber like a car would, or a reservoir like many custom builts have. Would love to see a pressure guage on it in testing

[@jlrebor2626]

tbf, the heat an engine produces and what a pc produces has nothing to compare them to, not enough heat =no pressure, the reservoir is mostly for looks/easy to fill and helps to keeps the air out the loop, also, many asian cars dont have a reservoir that holds pressure, kia, mazda and honda to name some, if it has the flimsy cap, meaning just a plastic one that doesnt screw, like the washer fluid one, it doesnt hold pressure

[@RAwK0Wnn]

Pretty much exactly this. The pressure is basically negligible unless your coolant/water is running close to boiling point almost 100% of the time. My coolant in my loop has never gone above 45c even when stress testing the CPU and GPU for hours. So unless you have a critical flaw somewhere in the loop it should never reach the temperature required to generate pressure. Pressure release valves do exist for PC Water cooling but they are basically a thing of the past or an unnecessary fail-safe at best

[@alexanderjanke1538]

​@@RAwK0Wnn Yeah I had the same experience. My custom loop only topped out at 38°C. But my parts only consume like max 340w when I remember correctly 😅

Filing aluminium on top of a deep carpet must be the best thing I learned from this video. Great work!

Should have 7800x3d'd that toaster. Wonderful build and thanks for the sharing all the details and process behind the scenes. Excellent work!

[@theengineer2017]

It was a custom order, the client wanted a 14900K/KF, stop forcing AMD down people's throats, dude might also do Rendering/Machine Learning which AMD sucks at because AMD sacrifices all other performance for gaming performance, AMD is not the best CPU for every task

[@thetwitchywarlock]

​@@theengineer2017 9950x is better in blender, stop coping for intel

[@theengineer2017]

@thetwitchywarlock Did you even read my comment, Intel beats AMD in nearly everything besides gaming, AMD sacrificed general performance for gaming performance

[@marstedt]

Not forcing anything, I just don't see why someone would benefit from a hot / inefficient processor in a compact / portable build. Outside of a few niche cases I could not recommend Intel CPU for a modern, performance build.

I never woulda guessed custom builds could become so much more.....custom? I loved every bit of this video. Especially the fitment part soooo satisfying. I hope to one day be at this level !!

[@karo8065]

The attention to detail is astonishing. Great job guys!

[@Teddy_Bear312]

As icing on the cake i would have loved seeing you guys adding a nice copper carrying handle on the top. But this is already a superb build and a very high production level video. The 43 minutes flew by in a blink! Great job on making it fit and i hope the customer will have a great time with it.

[@0mniVerse777]

Yup was thinking about a handle, it would be 👌

[@SirIsaacMewtonIII]

this video needs WAY more views, truly enjoyable to watch.

Can't believe I watched the whole 43 min. Nice work. Doing the valve fill on my next build. 400 hours?? Wow!

Hi from Reddit! Just wanted to stop by to say this build looked awesome. To the individuals that have an issue with this man's choice of nail color, why the fuck do you care? I mean, I know why YOU care, because you're bigots, but I'm also interested in whatever fictious shit y'all can make up about why painted nails insults your masculinity.

[@KitYukio]

I really love them finger nail color

[@bennysh]

I'm in 00:32 and thinking "wouldn't it be smarter to design this thing virtually first using a CAD?"

[@YldrmMehmetNur]

Not everyone will know how to use CAD. The man used all his talents.

[@akrepgeneral]

Then it wouldn't be art, it would be engineering.

[@bertilorickardspelar]

CAD is great for figuring some things out but sometimes it is actually faster to just prototype. Also prototyping allows you to see things that are not always obvious in CAD. Unless you CAD in VR of course :)

I am really amazed by how much effort and how much thinking you put into that build. That is, without a doubt, one hell of a PC and a massive work of art (despite the size of it). I've watched the entire video and was so focused that I felt like time had stopped. You deserve way more recognition for your work. Subscribed immediatly

[@swatboy79]

Excellent work. Next time though use PMT 7950 instead of thermal grease.

[@michaelholt5014]

I think it was a huge mistake not putting a more permanent solution on the cpu and gpu in something like this when it's not viable for the end user to take apart but I assume they wouldn't mind replacing the paste twice a year? Idk
