Great guide. Thanks for the amazing video, brother! Liked and subscribed.

[@2020Tech4U]

Much appreciated!

[@Octavio2194]

good video man!

[@EP-ni6my]

Worth noting, the cover on the Corsair CPU block can be removed so you can rotate the block. That way you can change the input/output side without changing your custom loop :-)

[@2020Tech4U]

That is 1 of the talking points in the video coming out on what can reversed flow do to your PC. But your right to let people know in the comments so thats a good spoil lol

[@allgamestotal6773]

[@2020Tech4U]

[@kpadalldotablet1009]

Too much filler. I couldn't getting to the content before getting bored and moving on.

[@2020Tech4U]

Thank you I really appreciate the honesty it helps me to improve so again thanks, also I put timestamps in all the videos I hope lol so that way by blabbering can be skipped :)

@@2020Tech4U I agree; just a little repetitive and at times too in depth. However, I feel more informed when I clean out my Hydro X system and you covered some areas I had been wondering about as I was building my loop. You have a nice calm voice, which I found was easy to listen to. Thank you!
