It may be worth doing a soft tubing setup first. It would be much less intimidating and you can really plan out your runs. Then when you are feeling like the challenge you would just need new fittings and the hardline tubing. I hadn't done a water loop since around 2003 and when I did my first hardline tubing last month I probably spent a month or two moving rads and the distro around to get it just right for the runs to actually work.

I'm sure someone has pointed this out already. The "bending tool" Jay is referring to at 9:15 is the mandrel. Not the flexible silicon tube. The mandrel is what you use to hold the tube in position and bend the tube in whatever angle you like. There are usually markings for 45, 90, etc on the mandrel pieces that allow you bend the tube more precisely. The silicon tube insert just helps the tube from collapsing during the bending process. I have the Monsoon and Alphacool bending kit that I bought some years back. Really good to have a decent kit when you are first learning, and good to see Corsair includes one!
@Azlehria2 жыл бұрын
A mandrel is the part that provides internal support to prevent the tubing from collapsing. That's why, to borrow Jay's example, automotive exhaust tubing is broadly divided into "mandrel-bent" and "crush-bent". The actual benders are generally quite similar, sometimes even identical. tl;dr Jay's correct.
@Antykain2 жыл бұрын
@@Azlehria You are correct, for automotive and industrial applications, the mandrel is different. In the world of PC custom water cooling, the silicone bending insert is not referred to as a mandrel. Never has. If you search online for waterrcooling specific parts for a "mandrel for pc water cooling", you will see this. I'm not saying you are wrong in what you replied, at all. Just does not apply to PC custom loops.

@@Byfils AIO's doesnt require any maintenance at all. It will just keep run forever. Or until i breaks or something. Same thing goes with air cooling. You need to remove the dust from the radiator/fans every once in a while but that's pretty much it. With custom watercooling, you're recommended to change the fluid AT LEAST once a year, based on the quality of it. Using colored liquid generally affects your components a lot more than clear fluid. People seem to get a lot more issues running liquids with color in them. Run AIO if you want watercooling without maintenance. Run custom watercooling if you really want a unique look to you build, as well as more customization options.

@@Byfils Custom water cooling system is part of the hobby :) Your PC will do fine with air cooling, with AIO you will be able to push your CPU more, but you must trust chineese in terms of this tiny pump reliability :))) And if you want to push your PC for many years to come, have super silent system, save your active components healthy with lower temps, custom loop is way to go. Some good D5 pump, properly selected radiators and full cover water blocks cannot be matched by AIO. Pros: Silent, best cooling possible (with good water blocks), looks cool :) Cons: Expensive, requires good understanding of fluid and thermal dynamics to setup it properly, needs maintenance (radiators, buildup in blocks, coolant replacement. Do your study, there are plenty of guides, Jayz has a lot of videos on water cooling. I suggest you to do first build with flexible tubing. EKWB water blocks, fittings and good pump/reservoir combo. It's very fun, like a lego, but you need to do your study :)

When not under load I'm in the 20's, 30's but once I do a synthetic load it spikes immediately. Not a problem for daily use or gaming but keep it in mind, the LGA 1700 block from EKW does do a better job, but I love the connectivity of all the Corsair stuff together.
