[@JamieStuff]

I remember the question on using the white fittings vs. bending the tubes. You made the right call in using the fittings; it gives the rig a more industrial vibe.

19:03 my favorite camera angle that ive seen so far. So glorious, what a great build

[@InfiniteImp42]

That mobo sounds like a good candidate for a Northridge Fix collaboration. I'd be interested in seeing what happens in that situation and what it would take to fix it. We all make mistakes, it's always a good feeling to fix something you broke. It's very possible it just blew a fuse.

It's always so easy just to throw something away in today's world when instead a lot of these things may only need some minor repairs in order to fix it.

He had to cause who's to say he actually bent 85% of the tubing. It happened off camera and this happens to most of his builds.

[@jeremybarber2837]

Such a good looking build and I love the vintage filter on the montage. I fried a SuperMicro EPYC server board and CPU because I didn't finish tightening the CPU down before putting the cooler on. Still feel like throwing up a little when I think about it. The build look super good though. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@Kitsune-Chaos]

I don't blame your friend for liking those fans. I picked up some just to replace my Corsair 120s which felt like they were gathering dust more than any other fans I've ever had, and they just look great. The accent lighting is so clean on the white ones, and I think even I'm hooked.

[@kylepinder6.7]

half the time the rgb on my corsair 120s dont work or flash. just ordered these lian li fans

[@Kitsune-Chaos]

@kylepinder6.7 Don't think you'll regret your decision. It's also nice when you can reduce the number of cables thanks to the option to snap-in daisychain the fans and just use one wire for power and control~.

@@Kitsune-Chaos definitely, with corsair its inevitable that you will have a rats nest in your pc. Unless you buy the new $50 fans.

[@Powk-mz1cp]

Gorgeous build

[@knightnevermore]

Great job with the build. I also loved how Jay was just walking casually through the montage xD. And Jay, you didn't kill the mainboard, you just prepared something to fix for the Northridge Fix collaboration. 👍 well done!

[@Troppa17]

I don't think the mainboard is dead. There's not a lot on the back that can short and kill it at least in that area where the bracket got stuck. So my guess is it detected a short and just protected itself. Otherwise, sure I would like to see a Northridge Fix collaboration.

[@Sptn051]

12:43 OMG this look Jay, THIS is the look of someone who was completely taken by surprise at how their friend reacted to you telling them their PC is dead! This is a priceless pause xD

​@@jimmy3le9plus cause it shows the reality of facts. I spent the last 30 years building pc and shit sometimes can happen, doesn't matter if you do everything to avoid it.

[@CyberTechUnlimited]

I agree. It's good to see a creator make mistakes. They aren't perfect and for those who watch his stream, the unexperienced may see this and know to check for that when they are building a computer. It brings the creator into a more relatable experience with the user than one who appears to sit on a pedestal and is perfect.

[@Quickloaded]

At 19:04 I loved how Jay realized a B-roll was being shot and quickly moved out of the frame

[@luisneves210]

Wow... this is one of the nicest builds i have ever seen, the outcome is incredible, congrats Jay. 😊

[@KnexFour]

Jay, I do this all the time when building a PC with a custom loop: Take the tubes off the CPU block, grab your blower vac and blast air through the block while you do your initial boot up test. I've actually got a soft tube and fitting that slips over the end of my little blower so I don't have to awkwardly hold the blower while testing. It keeps it cool enough to even boot windows and do basic tasks as long as the blower keeps chugging.

[@johnmillerjr3646]

[@digipimp75]

There's something very soothing about watching Jay do a build. It's almost therapeutic

[@lockno]

sometimes, simply by removing the short the board "come back alive" just because of the board's built in OCP, that might be what's actually preventing the board from booting and dying for real

That little air pressure gauge is SUCH a good idea.

[@phenomanII]

This new version with a hose makes me wish I'd waited until it came out. But I still love the older one that I own. The most important watercooling tool ever. It let me buy used parts with confidence, because I didn't have to wait until I had everything, built it and had it spring a leak onto some paper towel. Imagine messaging a seller after several months... Plus not having to use paper towels saves the environment :P (and your time, no more 24 hour leak tests, even for my anxious ass 30 minutes was plenty)

[@LautaroQ2812]

I am sorry for all you had to go through. And this is not to pour salt into the wound, but knowing you how knowledgeable you are and meticulous (usually), this clearly happened because you built this PC switching/skipping steps. Which in turn, in my honest noob opinion, is one of the greatest lessons we can take away from all of this. No matter what PC you're building, always go through with all the required steps to avoid these kind of outcomes. Glad everything turned out ok, your friend is super MEGAMANChill and the build looks insanely good. Also, 2000IQ Move with 2nd reservoir. Like holy shit, it's like magic!

[@devilfish79]

I love this build, and I'm not one for white computers. Thank you for sharing your successes and failures; it helps me learn what to do and what to watch out for. This build has made me really want to doing PC builds for fun. Normally I just take a case I already have, with parts I already have, then adapt and upgrade. Thanks for always sharing!

[@Tyranix97]

This was fun. ... Glad to see Mega Man power up! ... (20:00) Preforming a diode test on the power connectors on the motherboard can diagnose a short pretty quick. Also using a multimeter to preform a DC Voltage test on the PSU or board power connectors can rule out any power problems pretty fast and reliable.

It is very important you never ever remove any kind of mistake you might make from your videos, it provides us the ability to learn some very important lessons in future builds. Thank you Jay! 🙂

4:38 My exact scenario.... I have mainly Asus components, but Corsair RAM, and I had to instal iCue and plugins if I wanted to control anything with AuraSync. That said, I set my RAM RGB in hardware mode, and I disabled iCue from starting with Windows. My system at idle is usually around 1-2% CPU usage, even with AuraSync. iCue would add another 3-4% usage it seemed.

👍Sweet build Jay! Really came together in a simple, yet elegant way.

[@Varkoroth]

It’s always good to show the mistakes. That’s the part that actually teaches stuff. I’ve took apart and re-built my PC since I was 8. Broke it countless times until I learned what thing goes where. And even now, after all the learning and practice, mistakes still happen. Couple months ago, I took apart the PC to change the case with a more airflow optimised one, and apparently I forgot to plug the sata cable to my SSD with all my stuff. Didn’t show up when re-installing the OS, didn’t show up afterwards, and I’m there like “did it really die?!”, then I opened up the PC and saw I only plugged the power to it, but not the actual cable for data.. 😂

[@JayDubs69420]

hey jay, being an electrical engineer i can tell you the pins themselves have way more than sufficient specs to carry the power that is required of them and with a large extra buffer. the contact ressistance is the issue of the connectors and not the pins themselves as they have a exceedingly low ressistance by themselves
