I Regret Custom Liquid Cooling This PC..

[@Senpai]

Have you ever custom water-cooled a pc? If so, what was something that drove you nuts? If not, do you ever plan on trying?

[@theBroG]

Yep - same boat! lol

[@yup7452]

no

[@EdCxles]

Pls reply your so cool could we do a zoom chat and u help me build a pc

No but I'm building my sister her fist pc this weekend

[@valhalla3357]

You should do a video on installing windows because a lot of people just build a pc but don't install windows because they don't see you do it

[@JzL]

today we learn: Mission critical PC's use air cooling because liquid cooling adds too much time to replacing/adding parts.

[@user-ns3vs3bp3e]

JzL22 custom loop isn’t even that bad to drain he set up his horrifically, look at the amount of fluid still in the GPU block when he’s taking it apart

[@murphh5068]

Was going to say, the loop should've been better planned out. Also there are AIO''s that are just as easy as air cooled setups. Like Harris said custom water cooling is allot fun.

[@LAIRDforbes]

That coolant drain looks just as convenient as the filter drain on my washing machine, perfect - for flooding the kitchen floor! 🤣

[@O4C209]

I insert my washing machine drain tube inside a garden hose because it fits perfectly. Don't know if that helps you.

[@LAIRDforbes]

I'll investigate that. Thanks. :)

[@rahi_yadav]

I have nevr built a pc . Is it like that ?

[@Steiny5843]

@@rahi_yadav get the right case. I cant stress how important the case it. If you get a cheap one have fun spending hours putting it together cause you could have so many tight spaces that are hard to get through with cables without bending them badly. Make sure to get a quality case. But performance always comes first.

[@tygintech1829]

You only had to loosen a tube on top or loosen a screw on top of your reservoir while draining it, that should flush all of your water out in seconds.

[@mr.not.so.perfect.666]

you'd think it would because of gravity, but with a complex loop it won't drain out all the liquid, especially one with multiple blocks on top of each other. Sometimes blowing down one end and collecting at the other is the only way to drain a loop and even then that's not 100% guaranteed to drain the lot.

[@tygintech1829]

@@mr.not.so.perfect.666 It will never get drained 100% for sure, but you could tilt the pc right to left, forward and backward and you will get the most ouf of that, been watercooling systems for years, never had to blow my loop :P

[@cadaver_x]

Anyone else love seeing a wild Harris in his natural habitat? 😂

[@ThatGuyShannon]

Like many, I cringed, but at the same time, PCs are FAR more forgiving than the used to be. Love the dually system you have...built one a couple years ago for a friend for streaming/gaming... may need to revisit as the gear is probably so out of date now... and is that an AV 2 in 1 out card? That would be heaven. Stoked to see what the specs/features will be on that puppy when released.

[@kirkstenvall8892]

Remilk a cow... things you never thought you'd hear someone say. Yeah, THIS was a fun video.

[@raffkaisa]

The amount of things wrong you did in this is just crazy

[@kromeworld2804]

I think trying to make this customization in the first place was the most wrong thing. But if it works 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@waldoiswhere]

@@kromeworld2804 The first mistake is not remembering the number 1 rule: "A PC is a tool, not a jewel.' Especially for a streamer or KZbinr. While vertically mounted GPU's might look cool, they are highly impractical and it seems it was Harris' first complaint, even if only said in passing. The second issue was using opaque coolant, especially for someone wanting a limited or more likely no maintenance setup. Another issue was using rigid tubing for a first go round with liquid cooling, always walk before running. Also flexible tubing would be easier to re-route.

[@thesoldierperez]

@Mr Butler what i can say You can remove the "backplate" of the outputs of the graphic cards so you can safely do the cuts. Disconnect the front panel I/O or get a second PSU for just turning on and off the pump Use the other hole of the reservoir(usually they have 2 "ins" and 1 "out")

[@kromeworld2804]

​@@waldoiswhere no doubt. I just want a PC that can rip any game I want at near-max quality while streaming high quality content. And if it happens to look pretty on my stream, that's a bonus. I'm actually in the process of building one right now.

[@marioStortuga]

At least I wasn't the only going NOPE a few times 😅

[@SamHanEsports]

loved the video! wanted to add safety FYI's 1. wear safety glasses; the plastic is designed to protect from those metal shards 2. don't wear gloves when things spin. Gloves getting caught pull fingers/hands into the tool vs just getting a cut from not wearing a glove

[@Chronor007]

PS: there is a pci express Cable extension, like a long cable, that you can just plug stuff into and have it lay on desk for example. I saw LinusTechTips use that stuff for testing.

[@thecorsentino]

[@Pupsker]

LOL, yes Harris should have put on glasses from step 1. Also fuck custom loops, such a pain.

[@StopperJJ]

In the future, might want to invest in an EK leak tester tool. I've used it to air test the loop prior to filling with water. It also helps to pump air through the system in order to drain it. Micro center sells it online and in their stores. Super handy.

[@scottwsmith]

Couple thoughts: 1. The Enthoo 719 has a fill port in the top of the case. Run a tube from there to your reservoir for easier filling. 2. Change the drain port to accept a drain tube to help ease the draining of your system. 3. If you blow into your liquid loop, you might want to do a full flush and clean refill of your loop in a couple months to get things back as clean as they can be.

[@ZealothiaArt]

This video tested my heart more than a fucking haunted house holy shit I don't know if I'm more terrified or more chill about plugging my new storage in by myself, but I'm never in my life draining my pc

[@PE4Doers]

Just a suggestion Harris, It might have been a little easier (and safer for the video card) if you had removed the PCIe bracket before using the business-end of the Dremmel on it.

Harris became the mechanic who bitches about the engineering but was also the engineer who made the problems.

[@TrollinHD]

I bought this case too, really wish I wouldnt have now..... There was so many things that I just wasnt prepared for, new power supply with cords, the inability to have a decent sized motherboard for the bottom PC that I had initially used for streaming, the inability to have both a capture card and a graphics card on the bottom, a typical fan would not workon the bottom motherboard so I had to get another one, and lastly that I had to have a riser for the bottom motherboard. It is a pretty machine now that I have it working but I still would love to do some extra work on it, but at this point I had rather just build a new computer rather than work on anything consisting of this case.

[@sonuchi]

That was fun and tough to watch. However! I've never water cooled, yet. I see there is much planning needed to water cool.

[@Sploads]

[@patrickwilson7309]

Just couplle heads up for people . NEVER EVER EVER dremel metal while still attached to PCBs of GPUs or MBs. Need to prevent any metal fragments or metal dust enetring the PCBs as it could cause a short..A couple of screws removed from the metal backplate on the GPU and it will come right off Also vertical GPUs arent really an issue for single GPU PC's. Quite frankly Duel GPUs unless in a duel CPU system are pretty silly. Some simple planning and install of a Drainage port can make servicing of water cooled PCs pretty simple. Its good seeing Harris enjoying himself buidling PCs, but like all of us he's got alot of improvement ahead of him, please dont be scared of water cooling people its super fun and dosnt have to be this painful

[@injurylad1]

The sad part is this reminds me of several of my past custom builds. Planned it all out. Got all the parts. Then halfway through I find something wrong and have to pull out the Dremel.

Go mom! Glad she got you that Dremel! Good job, not something I would ever want to do, sure hope the secret card was worth it.. 😉

[@dbcustoms187]

Maintenance and how often I swap hardware is why I run soft line over hardline. If I don't have to do more than the annual maintenance then I would go back to hardline. Also the 1080Ti I chose was easily converted to a single slot config - not a fan of the RTX series GPU's being triple slots.

I have a haf xb with a cpu water cooling setup, its a 280 in front with a alphacool d5 eisstation downstairs. I put the fill/drain port on the bottom of the case but should had put a second being one of the bottom ports of the eisstation. To drain this system I have the case half on a table over a bucket with the fill/drain port open, then lossen the top fitting of the radiator. It is not the best setup and dose not drain more than 85%. To fill this the case is fliped upside down with a funnel shoved in the fill/drain port, then the case is rolled around and process is repeated a few times. The pump is never powered on durring drain or fill of this system and can fill to 95% as such. That 5% dose not matter on my system since the inlet on the rad is on top and return on the rad is on bottom.

[@AlterRaigo]

Wow...what a mess. I honestly have never needed liquid cooling, I have cases with good air circulation, custom heat sinks and I never overclock my CPU or GPU (no need to be honest) All I have always heard about liquid cooling are horror stories, and I will add this one to the collection LOL!

[@j2fay]

I’ve said it so many times. Work computers get air cooled. Play computers can have water.

[@blai5e730]

Sorry man but I have to overlay your video with "Yakety Sax" (The Benny Hill Show theme tune). If that's your main streaming rig, you shouldn't have hard-lined your rig - yeah, it looks cool but you need ease of maintenance and minimum downtime. Get a pass-through fitting for the drain cut-out and plumb your drain tube to it. With the pass-through, you can then attach a piece of soft tubing with a compression fitting onto the thread to make things *much* easier. Next, get rid of the white liquid and go with clear (save sediment build up and staining) but you'll need to at the very least flush all traces of the solid coolant out of your system beforehand (at worst, you'll have to take the blocks apart to clean). Finally, I hope you cleaned off that front dust filter before you reassembled your rig - it was filthy!

Judging by the ports, that's either a new capture card or a graphics card. If it's a capture card with 3 ports like that, I hope it's 2 input 1 output so you can plug in a camera and game source so you don't need multiple cards for streaming.

Just got to the part where you're talking about how much it'll suck if you don't like the new card. I know that it'll cost a lot upfront, but it might be worth just getting another pc to try new items like this card. That way you aren't going through this every time you want to try something new.
