So, after seeing how this stuff is made, i still have no clue why there are/were air bubbles inside both of my NZXT Kraken X62. I can shake my radiator and hear a big air bubble bubbling. The first X62 had the pump die, it ran dry because i had the radiator front mounted in the (last gen) Corsair 750D, which means the radiator was lower than the pump. ALWAYS make sure to install the radiator above the pump (top mount it if you need to), just in case there is air inside, the air collects at the highest point and if that is the pump you'll have a dry and soon a dead pump).

First off I want to say these are awesome videos, thanks for making them Andrew/Steve. I gotta ask though, do these factories seem to offer tours on a daily basis? Especially ones that produce for multiple aftermarket manufacturers. I could understand if these factories are trying to secure large contracts, but not really for mid-sized KZbin channels (no offense intended). I enjoy these videos, and I hope you continue to make them in the future when you are over there. I got a laugh watching Andrew initially failing to break the glass in the "Tempered Glass Cases" video. Being more worried about the worst case scenario where the glass lands. I wouldn't of tried picking up the pieces as you did though ;) . P.S. And also @AddisonMartin 's has a great question about factory tours affecting your future judgment of reviewing future products from those companies?

I liked the automated screw feeder into magnetic screwdriver. The gaskets are real pain to fit in comparison to other components. I'd expect tool assistance there, but nope. I use a similar method for "open" loop leak checking nowadays - using a small air compressor. It does not fully replace run test as motor is not engaged and that could leak too while operating only. But it excels at catching small leaks from fittings and orings that could take days of run test to cause problems.

I'm kinda surprised the skiving machines only do a skinny finstack line. It'd be *massively* faster if the cutting wedge was 2ft wide, and the copper plate had grooves through it where the fins weren't needed. (The raised area left between the grooves would be turned into fins) With this method they would only need to change the width and spacing of the grooves for different kinds of coldplates. (Threadripper for example) But perhaps there's good reasoning why they only do one long lane of fins at a time. Most likely due to flex in the material, which would result in imperfect fins.

Damn! I am amazed how many quality checks happen to ensure the AIO will not leak and is operating at spec. I wonder then why leaks happen. Could it be a user fault?

The new one didn't have that problem.

Haha, I loved the missing screw at 10:10 and the stripped screw at 8:20. I’m leak testing these if I get one for my Titan Xp. Typically I have 20 hose connections in my water loops, and jamming the end caps with a marker or pen is good enough for me (I do have a ridiculous amount of water leaks on my carelessly thrown together test bench, but I fully expect them to leak). I’m kind of impressed more failures don’t occur with such a manual process, but after seeing this, I’m definitely leak testing them for 24 hours (still getting another AIO, because like I said, I have water leaks like crazy with my sloppy testbench, nothing like a 1 inch internal dia hose popping off and a massive fountain of water going into the air (luckily I have both PSUs off while leak testing so my quad GPU system doesn’t fry, I’ve actually had 6 GPUs on a system load testing PSUs and had this happen, lol, it’s not just the board that’s soaked, it’s half my room! Takes hours to cleanup with towels due to about 1 gallon leak within the 3 seconds it takes me to unplug the pump, but I’m fast as lightning on hitting PSU switches, gotta kill it before gravity brings the water geyser back down, lol!). Ironically, my full custom water cooled tablet didn’t leak for years, I hot glued hoses into my 3D printed water block housing (cold plate is a sanded down copper penny press fit with silicon gasket sealant), and then ran from a “radiation barrel” Vix bottle (nuclear apocalypse themed, rusty steal pipes for the rad, green “radioactive” anti-freeze coolant and hazard decals). Entire cost was way under $5 in all, I think it was $2 plus rusty steal pipe (I assume you could get 1 ft of 1/4 pipe/tube that’s been laying outside for $4). Build time was during a boring movie... So I can do it well, but what’s the fun in that?
