Liquid TERRA! Custom Loop High End SFF Build

[@clookoo2]

I realize your options were super limited, but having that giant exterior radiator tower defeats the whole design philosophy of the terra. Thing looks like its on dialysis

[@RomanShein1978]

In his case, it is like a dialysis machine that pumps blood, but doesn't clean blood at all: he messed up fans; the fans push air from both sides of the radiator.🤦‍♀ The fans effectively cancel out each other. The fans will scream, but the CPU will be throttled anyway.

[@dorianeroars666]

when you're into hardware and beautiful builds, this one is definitively a turn-on.

[@sjzafrani]

I mean this cool, no doubt…. But defeats the purpose of the case. I was hoping for a completely contained build. Incredible work, nonetheless

[@PosmaPrimaN]

I think Optimum Tech mentioned that the terra won't support for self contained waterloop. But you should check his channel as he made a full waterloop in a similar sized case which is just an ITX masterpiece

[@F41LZZz]

'defeats the purpose' yeah its not meant to support custom watercooling. If that rocks your boat GGF did an amazing system here which fits within the confines of the super small mini itx case kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5zLZYBvjNChbZo. it is highly, no extremely compromised. This build in the terrai is all about 'eat your cake and have it too.' extremely high end hardware, performing at spec, quietly. If you don't want to see the rad box, extend the tubing put it under the desk. Sacrifices portability and practicality BUT its a hardline watercooled system so yeah... that was already out the window. its a work of flipping art. very much a panicle of why not? It doesn't need to make sense

[@shiddygaymer]

If it doesn't need to make sense it begs the question of why the product needs to exist in the first place

[@PosmaPrimaN]

@@shiddygaymer it's made for air cooled ITX, not water cooled. And with it being aircooled, it's actually very decent and highly recommended by a lot of reviewers

[@F41LZZz]

​@@shiddygaymer does it beg the question? why do you schools exist? think of all the wasted time and money spent on you, so you can be make this stupid comments on YT

[@yungseed98]

Now this is the sickest build that I have ever seen. Kudos to you guys!

[@sachak]

This is possibly the most beautiful build I have ever seen! Those steel braided hoses and colour combo in general are just incredible looking.

[@nickcifarelli8887]

I gotta Hand it to you Stuart, honestly, your build quality and also your video production design, camera work and editing is easily the best in the business. Only Optimum Tech comes close to replicating your edit and video production design. I watch every one of your videos and you are a god amongst us mere mortals.

now let's wait for mold to set in the loop and call it "Terrarium"

[@Safetytrousers]

All cooling liquids have antibacterial in them. Mold does not happen.

[@andrei-n7]

Really great video, as always! Personally, I would prefer to just go mATX and fit all of the components in one case, instead of basically 2 ITX cases.

[@Johnny2Gats]

With this particular build I agree. Only time I would do this is if I was running a massive radiator like a mo-ra or something like dual 480mm that wouldn’t fit inside

[@YURii_____]

coolermaster np200p max is awesome, it comes with aio cpu watercooler and powersupply for 300$. one of my friends had it. i just went bulky and versitile with a NZXT H9.

[@AB-bu8ti]

When you start to wonder where the rads are, then guitar solo starts, and then companion case shows up? CHILLS.

[@GGFEvents]

Hehe

[@ecl1pse132]

This is breath taking honestly I can't describe how perfect this thing is.

[@-fivehead-]

I can't wait to see your deep dive into the external radiator housing along with wiring.

[@damon2974]

Me thinking someone finally figured out and within 5 minutes realizing I need a metal fab shop :D. Serious though. This looks amazing.

[@ErriNight]

I've never been more excited to see 8 screws get removed. 5:57. Great video Bravo

[@felipeprenholato2301]

It's really nice work, but IMHO defeats all the purpose of small sff build with Terra. Maybe some adaptation making the Terra taller with 240mm radiators on bottom and top would work well with some distro plate for the sides, but I guess that there is better SFF cases for this :).

[@rodhester2166]

I always watch your videos on full screen to take it all in. The editing was on point along with the build. Down the the music and screws being removed together.. details are always carefully planned .. awesome.

[@hjshoon5244]

Having the radiators cooled in a separate external case defeats the purpose of having a sff case like this fractal. Might as well go with a case with higher volume and can fit everything into it

[@phantomflame0658]

Kind of I think the better idea is to run the lines across the room or to a different room in the house so you just have the Terra on your desk and the radiator somewhere else. I personally would just go for a MORA or similar to get max cooling.

[@DrummClem]

You're the first I see attempting this madness... and I love it.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@DrummClem]

Now I am considering buying a 2nd NZXT H1 and use the first one as a heat dissipation device...

[@Yukeena]

one of the sickest builds I have ever seen. Beautiful. I want to do something like this, but with the black terra.

[@PlantainSupernova]

I saw this teaser in the previous video. Was looking forward to it. It did not disappoint!

[@DireBowser]

The reservoir being separate from the main pc is very striking and I am in love with it.

[@booyaaaaaaa]

[@fabitretter9688]

This is an awesome continuation of the ITX external cooling setup, glad to see that this genre got carried on from the phanteks shift xt build

[@theOzee]

How brilliant, love the external cooling solution, also yawls part breakdowns are legit, answered every question I have!

[@azvnoit]

The "cheat" was definitely worth it and can be given a pass. This build is magnificent. The pastel teal with wooden accent, the silver fittings and tubes, exceptional.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@spuchoa]

Efing amazing build, and the OST `chef kiss`

[@unknowntechio]

I can't take away the awesomeness of your builds including this one but this exposes the weakness of the Terra. The limited room within that chasis for Fans/Radiator etc is why this case, too me, is only really built for air cooling. Everyone seems to be going crazy over this case when the FormD T1 has been out for a couple of years now including the latest version which provides many more options in configurations etc. If ya ask me, only the wood look is what's nice about this case, outside of that, there are much better options. Outside of my opionion here on the case itself, the build is amazing!

[@GeorgioSubs]

If the "cheat" was just tubes going into the nether and we never see the rads then it wouldn't be a great build. But the external cooling is executed so incredibly well that I'm actually considering copying you. This is absolutely gorgeous. Well done!

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you. Yes I didn't want to just slap on a mora rad like most do and call it it a day. I wanted something more pleasing and functional

[@southbronxny5727]

I see the beauty and need for this design. Personally, I'd keep the pc next to me for the admiration of it, but with longer hoses, I'd put the radiators on the other side of a wall so can't see or hear a thing.

[@FluxStage]

Oh might be a new favorite here! Very awesome work! So much inspiration! Keep it coming!

[@sabyasacheebanik6018]

How do you guys power the external cooling system and control the fans?

[@TheEquinoxeHD]

I was wondering how are you going to solve watercooling in this case but the last thing I expected was to build another case for it... Hard to call it SSFPC at this point, although kudos for good execution.

[@meangczac194]

Yes. No point really. But a pretty sick build really. 😂

[@b3tth0l3]

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT build!! I was blown away by your meticulous attention to detail. I have the same case and look forward to hooking up an external cooler just as you have. I was even hoping to implement a temp monitoring screen in there somewhere and you've given me wonderful ideas on how that could be possible! I've gotta say, thank you for sharing your work, you've really inspired me. One question I have for you is where did you source the miniature panels from which contain the inlets/outlets for the water pipes? I was wondering if those would be availabele for purchase. Thank you!

[@Dawson600]

What a Phuking project, majestically done, no words.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@B1ZZnice]

Yes!! This was why I wanting to know about mixing fluids, trying to match or get close to the wood tone. I’ve seen bourbon theme PCs with clear brown fluid that doesn’t look awful. I like the quick connect tube connector and sleeving. I was wanting to have that look but instead of stainless steel in all black or black stainless steel. This is truly awesome though, love the green and wood and you staining the accent, you’re definitely giving me some ideas! The reservoir is going to be the biggest pain in the north though, I like the water box with this though

[@obamagaming6410]

bruh it's not "SFF" when it needs external cooling, with the combined footprint being closer to a small server rack than to an ITX case

[@GetShrektMrKrabs]

I've seen just about every single one of your build videos and this is my favorite out of them all. True masterclass at display. The ability to innovate and create in small cases is the future of PC's. One thing I would've done different for sake of stability would be to add some AF-10's(40x10 fans) so that passively cooled components that would typically have airflow from a cpu air cooler or case fans would be cooled. Other than that, it's perfection. Ik this was sponsored by bitspower but some EK lignum fittings would've been sick too 😂

[@MrLincoln87]

That's actually pretty cool. Would have been neeeear impossible, but I would have liked to have seen a rad in the main case even a 120. Just enough to run it.. maybe slow and loud, maybe to take it to a LAN. Then when at home, hook it back up to the external rads for that maximum cooling/quiet/overclock.

[@vellino78]

really nice and elegant 👏

[@Glerox]

you are a genius! the external rad enclosure fitting with the case is true art! I just finished a Sff build with an rtx 4090 and my slim 30x240 rad is clearly not enough… how do you make your plastic pieces for passtrough fittings? 3d print?

[@jcpahman77]

The build looks great, I don't mind the external cooler, the aesthetic works very well. I do have 2 curious questions though: 1, what is cooling the VRMs on the motherboard? 2, your in game CPU temps look about the same as mine and I'm air-cooled (albeit a much less powerful processor), is the GPU dumping in to the CPU in the loop? The GPU temps looked fantastic.

[@MegaDMan2323]

usually the more powerful processors run much hotter so its not the same unless you compare with the same processor. I have a i9 13900kf and its a monster but it definitely hard to cool.

[@BleepBlop-rh9lm]

Amazing as usual. I will consider taking the rads into a separate case.

Looking forward to the follow up video. I built myself a custom radbox, inspired by your previous MORA build. More of an external frame. 2x 360 rads side by side in an ALU2020 frame. The sort of frame designed for external mITX builds. Its great and I love the idea. I have a loop temp sensor plugged into an ancient fan controller that will need an upgrade when I do the mitx build. Torn between Corsair Commander XT or an AQUA Octo. Need some advice there. Unfortunately shipping AQUA gear to Australia is expensive. Would love to hear your words on the Barrow Rad box too. Beautiful as always mate.

What is being used in the rad box to power it via XLR?

[@brennanrudd2705]

This is a really awesome build and it spurred me to purchasing the external radiator because i’m planning on making a build like this but with a meshroom s instead, but my one question was how did you get power to the pump and the fans, i know it says xlr and usb c but im wondering it there is a small psu in the external radiator box?

[@GGFEvents]

Thanks! External rad box is powered but an ac to dc power brick that does 5v and 12. Then I used an XLR connection to plug it in to the unit.
