Gets pink hand soap "It's not mine, it's my sisters." Why don't you have soap at your place anyway?

[@Chezmemes]

Exactly what I thought and that is so old school to think pink=girl...

[@DarknessandSolace]

Liam Jacobsen Uses bar soap, not liquid soap? Cheaper, you know.

[@jeneralgod]

i dont see what's wrong with pink soap

[@winfieldk6692]

Ches Memes IKR, It's like so 1930 to associate pink with girl. It's 2018, that's sexist you bigot!

[@sobo2001]

Im so woke that I dont even notice the color of the soap.

[@OrjonZ]

This one is by far the best work.

[@GregSalazar]

I appreciate it!

[@jonwick893]

Science Studio love your shirt man!!

[@frederikk.4187]

I like your content too, but I don't think I'd like your shit :-S

[@H1k1ko_]

You expect me to custom loop water cool my PC? I can't even tie my shoes! Seriously though, you really look like you know what you are doing. Cool that one of my favorite tech tubers does a guide on this even though I'll for sure never do this lol. Nice work man.

[@GregSalazar]

I appreciate it, man.

[@JetBen555]

Wow this is your best build so far !! That experience is starting to kick in

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks man.

[@vdochev]

It does look pretty.

[@Vladek16]

I must say i'm impressed, that the first build that really looks amazing, perfect bends, an innovative and nice way to run the tubing and AT LAST i see you've made a proper fill port at the top and a drain port at the lowest point possible in the loop. Very nice build, beautiful, nice job man :)

[@edulpn]

best coverage I've seen on rigid tubing bending... re-heating, correcting small blemishes... spot on, Greg!

[@brego129]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've done soft tubing for years, and am looking to try PETG tubing when I do a new rig when Zen 3/RTX 3000/Big Navi comes out.

[@Mavitros]

Big fan of the tubing routes in that white and blue phanteks build used as a reference. Today I just saw my favorite case just got a white variant and I'll be buying it from Newegg within the week. One condition of buying it is that switching from soft tubing to hard is a must. I come home from work to find this video in my subscriptions. It's a sign my time has come...

[@TheRealLink]

Doing my first WC build and this was helpful for sure. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@DarkstarRipkIaw]

To be honest, this video had the best tubing tutorial and sex-ed lesson I have ever seen hahaha Good job on the vid

[@danilodelrosario223]

Yuri Cardoso did you just say ed!?!

[@muhmin7]

Yuri Cardoso including the cutting part?

[@diyathkumara2443]

At what point, during sex, does the heat gun and pipe cutter become useful?

[@Dracossaint]

Diyath Kumara you must be a virgin huh? (I'm teassing and even if ya are, no shame most rush it too much)

[@Atilolzz]

So I need lubing when I want to stick my insert into a tight tubing? Thx for the tips man!

[@skinnwalk3r586]

Loving the bends in that system and i have to agree so far the best looking one so far

[@rockyramos27542661]

seriously greg awesome video love how detailed you explained everything awesome job man!!!

[@noahashton3252]

splendid job, super informative and just a really great tutorial

[@quickz187]

Nice you have camera man! Enjoying the 2 angles we get.

[@Billythekid73192]

Good job man you've come a long way this looks great.

[@stevemoon2136]

Excellent video & by far the most helpful to me I've found on KZbin. Thank you for your assistance! ☺

[@MacYYur4me]

Nice descriptive walk through. Short, clear and sweet.

[@olivier9835]

This tutorial is perfect! Good job!

[@bruhhdahman]

this is the best hard tubing walkthrough ive found on the internet, gg salazar

[@boomstick12gnl]

I remember your first tube bending video, this is much improved!

[@dorjedriftwood2731]

Best explanation I've seen!

[@isbestlizard]

Thanks for making this! You're such an amazing bender :D

[@henkkaj73]

Thanks for an excellent tutorial! Been watercooling since 2004 but doing my very first hard tubing with PETG today, feel a lot more confident after your tutorial so I'm off to the workshop for a new build that looks year 2020 and not alternate timeline steampunk 1860 X-D Feels like cheating when all the parts are actually designed for pc water cooling instead of using a Ford heater cell for a radiator, custom fitting universal blocks and painstakingly combining plumbing and aquarium supplies to get it done X-D

[@noko59]

Great and precise showing of bending and cutting tubing - thanks

[@imjeffafa]

Those bends are so clean, looks really good.

[@NZ_Lexus_IS-F]

Awesome work.Keep it up

[@NemesisT103]

Thanks for the useful tips, great work!

[@robertovazquez9789]

Love u man. The only one who explains everything this well.

[@justinborzoni1541]

Tbh besides the gold vid greg has to be my favorite tech tuber hes honest, cuts the crap, and doesnt xare what anyone else thinks 👌 keep up the good work.

[@mylifestartsat8k]

Thanks for the video Greg, looks easy enough, one day I'll have the motivation to do it.

[@kunalverma6940]

that was an amazing guide..even though i don't think i would ever do a custom loop build..but great work as always explaining the details

[@GAzcona]

This is helping me a lot on my venture to water cooling my first PC. Thanks so much!

[@honestbob456]

god, you've come such a long way Salazar, i can already see linus collaborating with you in the future... dropping all your stuff like hes known for lmao

[@davideggers174]

Best diy video by far!

[@fangxd9451]

I'm proud to see this channel evolve.

[@xiayu27]

Excellent video!

[@bepis2679]

Definitely the best loop yet. Looks damn fine.

[@Morawka1]

Thanks for the video. I can tell your a person who pays attention to the details like me. I have found that using the ratchet cutters can create micro fractures at the very tip of the tubing. That's why I used both tools like you suggested. Start off marking your spot with the rotary cutter, and then finish the cut with the ratchet cutters. No sanding or beveling needed. I wish someone would post a good video on best measurement practices with hard tubing. I have no clue how to measure and implement but i will soon learn the hard way.

[@tinle6254]

Nice video, great job!

Dont forget to lube with the soap tho

[@junelsvtecturbo777]

thank you for this greg

[@robertobarrios2008]

nice video u took ur time to explain everything .nicely done

[@ianhawke]

Thanks mate, well done.

[@moredork4671]

very well done guide, ty. I will be using this for reference in the future.

[@techno0b467]

Can I use an axe to cut my garden hose? I'm on a budget.

[@nertz4579]

wingracer 16 You have access to a sewer?! 😲

[@medokn99]

wat

[@Yada_690]

[@panagiotispns]

very good tut. Well Done.

[@AverageJoe727]

Great video, thanks for making it!

[@dive_whale]

[@Zakumei]

a 100% like/dislike ratio is a good thing to have. why would you ruin that

[@catalinbalaceanu2173]

this is the cleanest looking loop I have ever seen. Simple and tidy! However, I think the reservoir obstructs the airflow through the radiator a bit.

[@hawkeyes4768]

this guide still the best one on youtube 2018

[@baileyknight9898]

loved the new film angles

[@BlackCubone]

Tnx Greg. Really appreciate it.

[@untamedpandasweg8986]

This videos definitely going into my 'PC Stuffs' playlist. Very well present. Good job Man. :)

[@FinallyZoey23]

You have great music taste. i keep seeing really great band shirts on.

[@ExileLord]

It's probably already been commented, but it isn't really safe to use the circular pipe cutters on acrylic. Even if you go very slow, it will eventually shatter making a very jagged and essentially unusable cut. Maybe this can work if you heat it up so it becomes softer but I think a dremel, table saw, or hack saw if you had something to secure the tube would be easier.

[@ItsDarky]

Great Video. Thanks a lot for these Tipps. Would love to see a Part 2 off it. Maybe how to measure a Tube Run.

[@Zakumei]

Mr. S, i loved this video and was wondering if you've ever seen artistic designs incorporated into tubebending with PETG and how this may effect coolant flow? i was considering doing some coiled and basic shaped bending in my cooling rig (heart shapes, lightning bolt, basic shapes) what are your thoughts on this? is this too complicated of a practice for a cooling system?

[@CrispyTheMerc]

man, pumping out the quality content lately!

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks for watching!

[@Cornelius87]

This tutorial is great because Greg still remembers what he went through as a beginner so it's a lot more helpful than someone who has been doing it for years and tells you to just bend it.

[@danielkerr4100]

thanks for the tutorial actually really helped im about to do my first loop in the next month :)

[@GregSalazar]

Best of luck!

[@danielkerr4100]

thanks a lot dude ;)

[@jessecampbell517]

Great tutorial, Thanks!

[@GregSalazar]

No problem, Jesse!

[@VanceHeard]

Very helpful thanks!

[@elyvn_]

very great and informative vid

[@maxheadroom6833]

A good informative video! thank you!

[@GregSalazar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RussellKasem]

Great vid man! I'm still building the courage to try my own custom loop. It's a bit intimidating- especially because I am a bit OCD.

[@Imkaranvalvi]

Science Studio ONLY WOW!!! good video Bro

[@xuev.2129]

Great video! I've been interested in learning how to custom water cool. Now, this video may have just tipped that bucket. Time to impulse buy water cooling components! :P

[@TechStache]

Very... very good video. Thx !

[@gameorally]

Thank you, i was always scared of doing custom cooling. Now i can start with my wife's PC build!

[@darkestblue91]

Youre the man i will try this the next week and see what happens. :D

[@joemowed5611]

Nice shirt. Most youtubers dont take that much detail into there videos

[@HexRebuilt]

thanks a lot. i will use those advice in my ongoing mod

[@blanked_out_chin]

very informative. not only does it show what to do correctly. it shows what NOT to do and why. thanks. saved. maybe I'll do a custom loop one day but right now im fine with AIOs

[@xander9149]

This is your best made video. I am still spooked to do a custom loop though.

[@LexLutha]

Great video first of all. I was wondering, how do u manage your radiator fans? Do you create a fan curve in your bios? I ask because I just finished my loop. I have a 360 rad in the front and my fans will rev up and down at random times. Idle or load. Its very annoying. I tried messing around with the fan control in the bios but its still doing it.

[@RobertPoenaru]

Cool work Greg. Keep it up :)

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks, Robert!

[@davidbrenner4161]

my personal technique for getting bends its rotating above a heat gun, but only holding one side. when the tube just starts to bend under its own weight is when i take the heat away and make my bend

[@Michael_Anthony05]

Very good tutorial, Thanks.

[@yassirhassani9166]

that's one of the best builds i've even seen

[@RTXTi-co8pd]

Always thought it was super difficult to do,but it seems simple enough Great video!

[@GregSalazar]

A-Z Tips Give it a try!

[@LDMco]

Thanks for the tut

[@LDMco]

Also nice shirt ;)

[@JD325is]

Really good demonstration. This will help me in my first custom loop build, but I'm concerned about measuring the tube. Let's say if i want to go from the rad to the block etc.. What's your method? Or recommended method.

[@Caffeine.And.Carvings]

Could I maybe ask what kind of coolant you are running? I love the blue stain.

[@nickshimada01]

liking the shirt!

[@markfrantz4612]

Question: How do you do the larger bends such as the one in the build behind you? A long piece of Si?

[@AjinkyaSawarkargoogletricks]

Nice video very helpful

[@IFreakedHer]

DAMN GREGG, BACK AT IT AGAIN!

[@40rtyp]

Can I use KY for the silicon tubing insert. I just feel its the appropriate lube.

[@therealad1238]

I´m really thinking about making my first own loop. I´ve got a big hardware upgrade coming soon so I´m switching cases aswell, I was about to use an AIO but a custom loop is just so much better. Still concerned about the cost of all the parts I need and risk to my other components if I manage to fuck it up completely

[@tahsin28]

Cud u do Tizen in Gear S3 vs Android wear 2.0 (lg watch sport or zenwatch 3 after update)

[@RonenLin]

Nice case at the back! Do you mind sharing what's the cooling system items brand and models you got there (water tank, radiator and pump) and case? My cooling system is like 10 years old so time for an upgrade...

[@chrisgalles518]

Good video. Better shirt. BB is life.

[@HawkFest]

Thank you for your enlightenment! One question: I have the choice between a 10mm ID 12mm OD (2mm thick), and a 10mm ID 14mm OD (4mm thick). What would be the best choice? Is thicker better with PETG (e.g. in regard to capillary transfer or whatnot)? Thanks again.

[@nachovidal4047]

What do you do to prevent the galvanic corrosion? And what do you recommend me to use on my build 1st custom loop to prevent it? Thanks

[@cuewarstaner1894]

I checked the links. There are two cutting tools. Should I get them both for PETG tubing? Any recommended suggestion? Thanks!

[@teeREKT]

What mat is that? Looks pretty cool with all the different types of connectors. I assume it's anti-static?

[@tancharintranont7070]

next jayztwocents????? the walter white loop behind you is honestly one of the best loop I have ever seen, the design is perfect, if I have enough money to build a custom loop or convert my current pc into a custom loop then I would do a similar loop, look soooooo nice good job

[@TheMavJarro]

GORGEOUS WORK!!!! im now blue with envy...

[@josue13mesy]

The science of bending tubes, good video dude
