I like when Jay said "I can never seem to do stuff the same way..." because to me, that shows how custom it really is. How personal it can get when going for a really stand-out or themed build.

[@bonetanion1237]

seeing that Megaman in the build. i feel like you could align his blaster along the tubing, and maybe put an rgb strip on the back side of the tube that would light it up simulating his blaster firing.... that would be some sick rgb integration.

[@DiddyMoe92]

Jay, the idea you had adding an LED to the blaster explosion would make it stand out so much more. You really should consider doing it. Also, I think it would be sick if you have Mega Man hanging off the flat part of the tube connecting the reservoir with the hole you drilled out and the CPU and make him look more dynamic using some kind of blinking LED effect to simulate the blaster firing. I don't know if there is more room in the model itself for additional LEDs but honestly, it would make it stand out so much more with more blinking shit.

[@00bmx1]

Tube layout is pretty sick. thoughtful and well ordered/composed.

Just had a thought… all motherboards are a flat one piece pcb… how about modular boards (similar looking to a raspberry pi super computer, but I digress!) Gpu’s compartmentalised, so it’s possible to squeeze into a case compartments for separated cooling rads and fans, Venturi’s to increase airflow over rads , increasing the volume of cooling fluids and to keep the cooling away from heat sources.

[@KashMoneyKale]

This build seems like it would have really benefitted from X-flow rads instead of the more common dual pass rads (barring whether or not they would have fit, it looks like the tolerances would be close). I am curious to see how it would have looked!

[@Sworksfsr]

Very few cases fit Xcross rads. It's the reason I went with a Phanteks ENTHOO PRO 2. Crossflow 360s top and bottom with a crossflow 420 in the front.

[@mammothkiwi]

I think if he'd ditched the distro and front mounted the rad instead of placing it in the bottom it would have solved for a lot of the issues in the bends, not being parallel from one another

[@KommonCents_]

Jay is such a beautiful specimen 😊

[@flavioernst902]

The 120 reservoir will defenetly be under pressure and not under vakuum. First: its lower than the highest point of your loop and second: the restriction of the cpu block increases the pressure even more when the system is running. Cool build!

[@Jayztwocents]

[@NPurvis7622]

Man, I am loving this series, you are killing it! I have the same kinda like, back and forth with stuff, but the extra fittings and that last kink, I think it just adds so much more to the build. For Megaman, I forget if you picked your RAM already, but maybe that RGB would be enough along with the EK cpu block to make it glow! Either route you take, best of luck to you and your friend. Please take some B rolls of that!

[@MasterBlaster-sr5yp]

If you have megaman in a lower power stance type position, and line his gun up with the tube that runs from the cpu block to the distro plate, you could do something cool with running an LED strip along that tube to illuminate it as if it’s the beam. If you do a snake effect with the lighting, you can make it look like the blast is traveling, which I think would be a really neat look.

[@BrophyMichael]

So the loop is - rad1 -> gpu -> cpu -> rad2 -> rad1 -> gpu -> cpu -> rad2 -> rad1 -> gpu -> cpu -> rad2 -> rad1 (etc..) I don't mean to criticise, but this seems very inefficient. You have hot water from the gpu being dumped almost directly on the cpu - yikes😮 Especially inefficient when you have awesome dual pass radiators - as they dispose of heat so incredibly well that the water will be so close to ambient after passing through the first; having the second one immediately after the first is redundant. Surely you want to have cooling between them during each cycle - so: - rad1 -> gpu -> rad2 -> cpu -> rad1 -> gpu -> rad2 -> cpu -> rad1 --> gpu -> rad2 -> cpu -> rad1 (etc..) If I was your customer I would insist on this.

[@wowdogeful]

Jay has done a video on that. The order of components in the loop literally does not matter. Once the loop has heated up (after ~30 minutes of operation), the water temperature will be the same at every point of the loop, repositioning the radiators or tubes to change the order makes no difference. Adding more radiators or using more efficient ones will obviously result in a lower water temperature inside the loop, but repositioning the same components in a different order will change nothing. Just look at the volumetric flow of one of the pumps and look at how much volume of water actually is in a closed loop, it only takes ~30 seconds at most for the pump to displace the entire volume of liquid, and that is already accounting for pressure drop from multiple 90° fittings.

[@BrophyMichael]

@@wowdogeful but weren't Dual pass rads designed specifically to mitigate this issue? I agree with you that this occurs with Laminar flow, but the dual pass rads are higher pressure and cause turbulent flow, which means they are more effective by far. (The swirling and diffusive characteristics of turbulent flow enhances heat transfer. Mixing induced by turbulent flow can also disrupt the growth of boundary layer on heat exchanger core surfaces.)

[@aserta]

Here's how to fill the system without any air remaining inside. Zero, guaranteed. Finish the run, decide where you have you fill port and make an adapter that goes from an adapter (from the fill port) to a valve to a hose (preferably something pliable like oxygen hose) then back to a threaded end, but with a Y valve (or you can put a Y pipe and two pieces of hose with two separate taps, if you can't find a Y valve). These fittings can be run of the mill garden stuff. Once you're done, close one tap (of the two) and run vacuum (nothing big, just enough to collapse that soft rubber, too much and you risk doing damage) on the other. Remove all the air in the installation and close that tap as well. The hose should be collapsed and holding (this also helps you figure out if the installation is leak proof or not. Once you're assured there's no leaks, pour all the coolant (and a little bit more) you need and submerge the taps in the coolant. Release either of the valves and the coolant will be sucked inside the installation. No air will remain, since no air is inside the system, only vacuum. As long as the valve remains submerged, you'll have a full system. The tricky part is now to remove the hose without spilling stuff everywhere. Close the valve by the fill port, and position the PC in a position where no coolant will leak from the threaded hole of the fill tap, if it were to be on its own. I'd use some Plasticine to make a small dam around the fill hole and remove the contraption allowing the little coolant between the valve and the fill port to spill. Removable of said coolant can be done with a towel and the last step after removing the Plasticine is to thread the fill port. No air. It sounds complicated because i have to explain it, but this is what car technicians do to your coolant system when they have to remove the coolant for a leak, but the coolant is still new, recently added. They remove the coolant under vacuum into a reservoir and keep it there, then use vacuum to suck it back into the car, without any air bubbles trapped in there. Several YT channels in the car world have demonstrated the operation, which would probably be a good thing to watch for a better explanation of the process.

[@Ruddigore]

[@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

[@christopherpinkard6979]

With 2 rad's you could have separate loops, but you would have another pump and reservoir. So with a single pump and reservoir and one big loop, it seems like best thermal performance would be to have the outflow from cpu go directly to one radiator and the outflow of GPU to the other radiator. Then the output of the GPU radiator would be the input to the CPU spreader, or vice versa the outflow of the CPU radiator goes to the GPU input. I guess i'm thinking along these lines because I don't like having the GPU outflow go directly into the CPU inlet, even though it passes through a reservoir on the way.

The bottom left pipe's bend (bottom radiator to the GPU) is much tighter than the new one (GPU to reservoir). The other bends are pretty tight too; it's just this new one that differs. Though both of them are now the only one with a fitting at the 90' bend. I hope they're addressed. :X

[@harleyspawn]

Yo, honestly if you left the side and front panels off, this looks so cool as-is. I'd love to have a case like this themed to look like a Gundam catapult or hangar. Not having any glass panels to prevent me from pulling the models back out is a win in my book.

[@digitalbaka7722]

Definitely getting Mega Man vibes from this loop. All the fittings are really making it work.
