How to Bend and Cut PETG Tubing

[@ZAGAN-OZ]

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

[@JetBen555]

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

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks man.

[@vdochev]

It does look pretty.

[@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.

[@edulpn]

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

[@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 :)

[@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)

[@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...

[@quickz187]

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

[@MacYYur4me]

Nice descriptive walk through. Short, clear and sweet.

[@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.

[@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

[@liamjacobsen606]

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.

[@MrSteveESQ]

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

[@imjeffafa]

Those bends are so clean, looks really good.

[@robertovazquez9789]

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

[@skinnwalk3r586]

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

[@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.

[@boomstick12gnl]

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

[@0MrBlazefighter0]

[@lordofstrandhill]

Dont forget to lube with the soap tho

[@GAzcona]

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

[@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.

[@bruhhdahman]

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

[@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.

[@fangxd9451]

I'm proud to see this channel evolve.

[@gameorally]

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

[@Atilolzz]

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

[@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

[@TheRealLink]

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

[@noko59]

Great and precise showing of bending and cutting tubing - thanks

[@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.

[@davideggers174]

Best diy video by far!

[@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

[@untamedpandasweg8986]

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

[@joemowed5611]

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

[@FinallyZoey23]

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

[@bepis2679]

Definitely the best loop yet. Looks damn fine.

[@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.

[@cmpoirot1]

Out of all of the tutorials on this, I think your's is the most intuitive, Jay is just too much of a pro to make it easy for noobs like me to understand. However, it's silicone, not silicon

[@CrispyTheMerc]

man, pumping out the quality content lately!

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks for watching!

[@yassirhassani9166]

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

[@TheMavJarro]

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

[@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!

[@mylifestartsat8k]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@rockyramos27542661]

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

[@hawkeyes4768]

this guide still the best one on youtube 2018

[@Imkaranvalvi]

Science Studio ONLY WOW!!! good video Bro

[@chrisgalles518]

Good video. Better shirt. BB is life.

[@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.

[@josue13mesy]

The science of bending tubes, good video dude

[@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

[@robertobarrios2008]

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

[@Billythekid73192]

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

[@noahashton3252]

splendid job, super informative and just a really great tutorial

[@isbestlizard]

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

[@xander9149]

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

[@moredork4671]

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

[@n1kobg]

I'm glad you finally learn how to use the pipe cutter. The first video you said its not good or something like that & you don't recommend it.

[@deepanchatterjee1749]

I used sand(for one of my friends) instead of inner filling black material & it worked like charm. :)

[@olivier9835]

This tutorial is perfect! Good job!

[@lmnarutothelastairbender]

great tutorial, thank you for not making it a dirty video.

[@darkestblue91]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@IFreakedHer]

DAMN GREGG, BACK AT IT AGAIN!

[@Caffeine.And.Carvings]

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

[@zachcollins9687]

I liked the video purely because of your breaking benjamin shirt but it was a great, informative video

[@baileyknight9898]

loved the new film angles

[@wretlaw1203]

O my, it looks absolutely beautiful with that liquid

[@GregSalazar]

I appreciate it!

[@ubwr5322]

this actually looks so clean. should name it "Aqua"

[@bigmud5690]

Last time I was this early jay did it.

[@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.

[@RobertPoenaru]

Cool work Greg. Keep it up :)

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks, Robert!

[@NZ_Lexus_IS-F]

Awesome work.Keep it up

[@NemesisT103]

Thanks for the useful tips, great work!

[@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.

[@dive_whale]

144 views 18 likes, 0 dislikes. For some reason I feel inclined to press the dislikes button to make it look normal. Greg is that normal even though I "silently like" the video anyway.

[@Zakumei]

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

[@tinle6254]

Nice video, great job!

[@RoyJNg]

4 years later….this video is still useful for new beginner coolant PC people.

[@teeREKT]

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

[@TeamDreamROGue]

Honestly the best guide I've seen for bending so far. Almost makes me think I'm ready for custom loops. Sadly, my wallet is not.

[@GregSalazar]

It's definitely not the budget-friendly option.

[@TeamDreamROGue]

Science Studio but darn, does it look good. I'm thinking about changing to custom loop later down the line

[@dorjedriftwood2731]

Best explanation I've seen!

[@ktfk1228]

Is there a build video of the PC in this video? I'd really like to know what res and res mount you used in this build.

[@AverageJoe727]

Great video, thanks for making it!

[@msanchez7317]

Greg - I have the same radiator and reservoir. It looks like you made a custom bracket to mount the reservoir on the radiator - is that correct? Thanks!

[@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

[@kanfang8534]

regards to multiple bending on a single tube, what is the best way to manipulate/measure the bend so that the end result will be perfectly at the point you want?

[@nioxic77]

great video.... you gotta make a "how to run maintanence on a custom loop" video though... thats whats really making me just use regular AIO's. Maybe how to assemble the whole thing as well

[@cuewarstaner1894]

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

[@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

[@kde5fan737]

Any idea how to do this with 2" diameter tube? I don't know where to find large silicone tubing and it'd be expensive. Do you think vinyl or PVC tubing would work as an inside support for the acrylic?

[@Michael_Anthony05]

Very good tutorial, Thanks.

[@biohazard592]

perfect timing on this video as I am about to do 2 separate loops in my tower 900 case later this week when parts arrive thanks for all the tips great video, very thorough tutorial thanks a bunch keep up the good work.

[@biohazard592]

[@tommytomtomtomestini3894]

Would you say there is any difference (except aesthetics and cost) bending the tubes or use 90 degree angled fittings?

[@40rtyp]

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

[@omeharto288]

I wish i had your skill, money and sponsorships

[@techno0b467]

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