I can agree about the fear for building a custom water cooled system. I couldn't do it 2 years ago and since then all I wanna do is build systems like these with varied cooling performance (starting from Itx 400W to even 1200W ATX ones up to 4 radiators). I already built 5 computers and I'm off to build the 6th which is going to be a gift to my father. Your channel has been a great help and an inspiration.

[@CiiTy_1]

I’m new to PCs, do you mind explaining what he meant about the fans not knowing when to ramp up bc they aren’t connected to the gpu through the software?? I’m confused

[@tibielias]

​​​@@CiiTy_1 i need to watch it again. But from what I understood is that Origin didn't use a PWM cable (probably used SATA to JST or Molex to JST, running the fans at full speed) so the fans couldn't be coupled with the sensors in the GPU. I'll edit this comment once I find the time where he commented on the fan PWM. Update: found it at 14:00 he meant that the fans were not connected to Corsair's iCue software. This way the GPUs temperatures couldn't be coupled with the installed fan's PWM signal.

I grew up building my own computers. The first one I built was a Pentium 120mhz from parts people were throwing out at my local PC store. Last year, I ordered a machine to be custom built and shipped to me. The reason I wanted to do that was I was moving to a new city, needed a PC to be ready to go as soon as I got to my new place. Would I do it again? No. I'm already planning a mini-itx build. I just need to convince my wife we need it for... something. If you're in Australia, I do recommend pccasegear if you want a prebuilt machine. You can pick from their list of machines or put all the stuff you want in the cart and then just add the build it for me item. Pretty nice.

[@Dexx1s]

I'm really confused why Jay of all people would be talking about running fans based on the GPU temps on a water cooled system. You always run the fans based on the water's temps. The fans cool the water, which in turn cools the components.Running the fans based on components, you're almost always going to have the fans spinning way faster, and louder, than they need to be. Only when the water hits heat saturation would the fans be at a sensible speed. Also, Corsair recommends all exhaust for those cases. They get better temps that way, so you're not really "agreeing to disagree". They actually have testing to base their opinion on.

[@Bucking-s4i]

Fans should be set based on coolant temp. Anything else doesn't make sense in a watercooled system

17:42 You can actually use grafics card temperature as a source for fan profiling.

[@xenodraken377]

they just need to put a coolant temp sensor in.. pick the water temp you want to maintain. ramp fans according to that temp. the coolant cools the system. the fans cool the coolant. i do this in my custom loops with no issues. much easier to set your positive pressure in the case too. lots of mobos have at least one thermal plug on them now.. often for aio stuff

I could not agree more to that. I got an AIO from nzxt and there the pump speed is based on CPU temp where the fan speed on the rad is controlled by liquid temp. Why would a custom loop be different, right.

[@Gridlynk]

Yes. With a temp sensor in the loop and appropriate software you can. Aquacomputer's Aquasuite with either their Aquaero, Octo, or Quadro hardware controller is probably the most full featured and configurable fan control solution you can buy. You may also be able to do it with a Corsair Commander Pro, open source source software like Fan Control in combination with a temp sensor input on the motherboard, or whatever your motherboard's fan control software is and temp sensor input. I'm always surprised that Jay never puts a temp sensor in his loops. Basing fan speed on the temperature of the water over the ambient temperature in the room is a better way to control fan speed in a watercooled computer than CPU or GPU temp. If only because fans will gradually ramp up if need be.

First off, thank you for being an advocate for building PCs yourself. I’ve said it before that your videos have made me comfortable with building/upgrading PCs again. While I agree that system integrators should put the same level of care into every build whether they know they are sending a unit for review, or not… I’m not a fan of Steve from Gamer’s Nexus and his pre-built reviews. I think Steve has a tendency to judge these systems as someone who builds PCs for a living, rather than looking from the outside and judging from the standpoint of someone who just wants a PC to play games, and will probably never even bother to open the case because they are not comfortable with messing around with the system hardware. The average person buying a pre-built PC is probably not going to care if it uses a proprietary motherboard, power supply, or cooler. But Steve, he’ll rip a system pieces (literally) and complain if it doesn’t have an ATX motherboard, ATX power supply, or standardized connectors. If the end user is not going to upgrade, none of that will matter to them. I feel like Steve isn’t capable of recognizing that, and he inadvertently discourages people from a product over selling points they wouldn’t have cared about if he was a little more objective. My other big problem with his videos on pre-built systems is when he complains about bloatware. I get it: crapware sucks…. But rather than complaining about it, point it out and actually show your viewers where to go in Windows to remove it. Sometimes it feels like Steve cares more about being a sarcastic jackass who is being overly critical for the camera than about really educating the end user. There’s a balance to being sarcastic yet educational. (And Jay and company pull that off pretty effortlessly, thank you.) Steve’s educational videos are geared more towards advanced users, and the people buying pre-built systems are not going to care about his failure analysis of power supplies or exploding CPUs even though those kind of videos are more in his area of expertise. That whole rant said, Origin should have had better QC, and sent him a system that could maintain boost clocks without some tinkering in the bios by the end user. If you’re paying $6,000.00 for a PC that you could probably match spec-for-spec for half the price, what you get needs to be perfect.

makes me sad bc I feel like if someone ordered the exact same PC i have a feeling they wouldnt go as far for looks in the tubing like they did for J:(

[@I_AM_HUGO]

My latest build is almost exactly the same. I have a 5950x and an FE 3090ti, same rads, fans, and pump res combo. I used soft line and the back rad is supply air with top rad as exhaust. I added a rear exhaust fan as well. I use iQue software only and it works perfectly. With gameboost turned on and iQue in silent mode, cpu idles at 55c and gpu idles at 43c.

To me building PC’s is a lot of fun and very rewarding. It’s really not that difficult, you have like 7-8 major components that you assemble together and that’s basically it. If you are new to building PC’s don’t be intimidated and just take your time! It’s not a race, enjoy the process and sense of accomplishment once you finally have it altogether. The feeling of having a PC that YOU built boot- up and run for the first is really satisfying :) Then running benchmarks to see how YOUR creation stacks up is really fun as well. Once you’ve built your first PC this will give you confidence to perhaps eventually take it a step farther with a custom loop, etc. Also, it’s nice to be able to help out friends / family.

[@JoseRodriguez-gr2go]

I just built my own pc. I went with a amd build. Cpu amd 7950x gpu radeon 7900xtx. Total cost was 3300 bucks. I really wanted the msi godlike board but 1300 bucks for a mb was tough haha. I went with the Asus proart x670E-creator wifI board. No problems so far. Runs smooth.

[@outlet6989]

Hi Jay. A muffler/exhaust shop has a particular tube bender machine used to create custom exhaust pipes. One day, we'll be able to buy a smaller one for bending our tubing. It would work better than the bend gauges we have today. I built a heat gun holder to heat my tubing, ensuring my tubes are heated to the correct temperature. It's a straightforward DIY project.

[@scarletspidernz]

I was just thinking that wouldn't it be easy just to have machine with plates to make the bends or something of the kind

[@joefries365]

Another awesome video, thanks for being super honest and upfront about small things like that Jay

[@hexdator2934]

Yeah, how good of Jay to notify a company beforehand with a poor track record that he is the one ordering from them. Low I.Q’s

[@AlastromLive]

Needed a fast replacement PC so I went with one of Origins spicey builds. Came leaking fluid and immediately had to send it back. When it returned to me the next month or so later, the box was trashed but they had finally added enough padding that MOST of the build arrived undamaged. Had to buy a backup computer in the interim and have my carpets cleaned. But at least I paid an extra grand to have someone else build it for me. Great experience.

[@davidwilliams4239]

One of the greatest lines from Jay: 'Everything is pokey!' lol

[@joshuapotts7634]

I agree about the fan direction. A pressurized case has more air molecules available to communicate heat away from components. A negative pressure has fewer molecules...it's that simple. Not to mention the unfiltered dust and pet fur being sucked in from every crevice. Hard to believe they did that.

[@Fender178]

I agree with Jay that having all Exhaust fans is a terrible idea because there is not enough fresh cool air getting into the PC. I also prefer front intake fans and having it exhaust out the back and on top.

[@LOLMAN9538]

The tubing run was basically OriginPC asking Jay, "How much hard-line tubing do you want in this system?" and Jay's just like, "YES".

[@TeocoreOfficial]

Argus Monitor can solve all problems with controling fan. I use it for years. Can be used with multi parametars.

[@Excalabur50]

Credit where it's due that tubing is really nicely done.

[@StubbyPhillips]

I bought an Origin PC a while back. If they ever offer the flipped and rotated option again, I'll buy another one.

[@briangrant9942]

it just warms my heart when jay goes on a little rant.

[@Ru5tbeard]

They mount all fans to exhaust because it looks better. You said it, Jay. Image is everything.

[@MrKryss2k]

iCue used to be able to do all the lighting but ASUS decided that you can only use ASUS software to control the motherboard lighting - it has benefits in that you can do a static gradient but iCue used to make the whites brighter on my ASUS motherboard.

[@93836]

If you want a quiet, low-maintenance, high-performance system, do this: No water cooling nonsense, use really good air coolers like NH-D15, very good airflow case, NO dust filters, and all fans on FIXED speed. Yes, all fans at the same speed all the time (except GPU), and seal every crack and hole in the case that’s not explicitly part of the intended airflow path, using vinyl adhesive sheets (Amazon). If you do everything I outlined, the case fans at low silent speed will be PLENTY when your game is at full-throttle. Now you have an ultra-quiet system. And no water-cooling nonsense to fuss around with next time you want to upgrade components.

[@PhilipKerry]

I've retired and so funds aren't anywhere near what they used to be so builds like this are just pipe dreams for me , I'm running an i7 9700k with an Asus Rog Strix 3070ti oc and 32gb of ddr4 3200mhz Ram on an Aorus pro MB . This will have to last me until I go to PC gaming Heaven ....

[@erk5243]

do a temp test with flipping the fans to prove to them they wrong

[@Bigphillystyle87]

The pre build set video would be awesome! I’m in the uk and got a pre build from pc specialist and wanna tweak things but not 100% confident currently. And I trust your content!

Love the regular bit on the impact driver. If it fits it works

[@Makalai-Azaylin]

I think you hit on a decent idea there Jay. Not seen many people give advice on 'How To Get Your Pre-Built Optimised', so yeah do it. Do it Jay...do it! 😎

[@ukaszpochocki190]

This time UPS don`t leave "stamp". On my computer, Icue sees temp rtx 4080 and I control the fans via commander pro.

[@cynagen]

Can confirm the title, received a computer in a crate back in December 2013 from a company called "Valve". Was a great computer, really compact and functional for its day.

[@742lostinadaze]

Jay loves that spin 360 plate.

[@JoriDiculous]

That cable management is a 1000 times better than the crows nest of cables in the (normal price was $5K i got it on "sale") PC i bought a while ago. I even had to re-route the SATA cables to manage to plug in the 3 SSd's i told them specifically i needed since they were to short to reach the designated spot in the case. Love the tubing in this build. So many cool bends and angles, and it look really good with the white backlight shining through the "red" tubes.

[@aaube2659]

Glad your GPU is installed straight. Mine is sloped (not parallel to the PCI slot).

[@ZaneofAustin]

10:51 i don't have any problems with negative pressure setups, i prefer them. cause you can always slap a mesh magnetic filter over the "intakes" but also i'd rather have "natural" intake, than like a forced intake, that would cause dust buildup wherever the intake dumps (you know like under a cpu cooler on the MB where the dust/air is forced packed) with natural air intake, it'll be more dust in general, but at least it won't be packed in there, like it would be with an "intake" fan

[@joshhulsey8047]

I don’t like the res/pump taking up entire front. I have same case. 3090 and Ryzen 9. 13 fans, 360 rad top in push pull. 360 rad on side in exhaust. From and rear are intake. Temps run in the 40’s

[@justsomeguy478]

Last two machines I bought was the Microcenter Brand. All common components, no fuss, nice cases, etc. and price is really fair. Highly recommend them.

[@wolphin732]

18:00 Why are you not using Fan Control? You had said it should be on everything... and I agree, as it is very nice application. Especially the ability to use the temp change between 2 thermals sensors on the cooling loop to control the rad fans and pump (no change in temp, lower the pump speed, as it can get more cooling with less work; large change, speed the pump up to have more volume for cooling.
