[@ethanrose6950]

15:28 Here are some fun facts about the PMMA tubing used in this build! PMMA stands for poly(methyl methacrylate), which is the polymer of methyl methacrylate, a derivative of acrylic acid. Jay, you were exactly right when you said that PMMA is just like "acrylic," because PMMA is the most common acrylic material! PMMA is also the material in "acrylic" windows for PC cases. Companies can process the material differently to get the frosted look instead of the transparent look. It is a relatively brittle material (hence why you cannot use the shears on it like PVC) and begins to melt at 105 C, and at 220 C, it is fully melted. At 105 C, it does not flow very well. This is because the PMMA molecules are entangled with one another, making it hard to move past one another. PMMA is stable up to approximately 200-250 C (your milage may vary). Corsair is definitely not synthesizing PMMA. They might buy PMMA and process it into tubing, but they might also just buy the manufactured tubing from another company. Awesome build! It makes me want to do a custom loop on my next PC (many years in the future). Phil's montage was a work of art, as usual! Thank you guys for creating informative and entertaining content! This has been my favorite youtube channel for over a year.

Excuse my ignorance, but if it's stable up to 250f, how does it start to melt at 105f? Thanks!

I appreciate all of this, especially letting us see you dealing with the irritations that pop up in these builds, makes the rest of us feel a bit better when we deal with it, knowing the "professionals" also hit these bumps in the road.

It’s not hard. It takes lots of money and just some planning. You’ll waste tubes and if you live near a microcenter you’ll be running there a lot for odds and ends you didn’t foresee. The worst part which no one talks about is having to drain and disassemble your entire loop to get to a ram slot or nvme drive. If you tinker a lot or upgrade nvme drives it gets old quick. Soft tubing is a little more forgiving in this department. Last year I got tired of having to tear my whole build down that I went back to aio. Now I’m ready to build a loop, just waiting for my 4090 to arrive. Then in a year I’m sure I’ll get tired and switch back to aio. It’s a cycle, and a labor of love.

[@406Steven]

While I do agree I think it's time to update the commercial. Especially since the inventory problem doesn't exist anymore. That said, when I went to repair the Joy Cons on my Switch I spent the extra $ on the iFixIt stuff to support their sponsorship of JTC. @@michaelv1984 I've wanted to do my own water cooled system for over 20 years and finally did one 1.5 years ago and went soft tubing. It's definitely easier though not as pretty as hard tubing but what you said about making numerous runs for parts still stands true! I live in Montana so there's no chance of getting PC components in a timely manner so it took a few weeks of ordering various new fittings and routing things differently.

Thank you for the late night and the old school walkthrough! I had a great time watching you go through the struggles that all of us do when building in real time.

[@spacemandrew]

I am so gat damn happy to watch someone as established and knowledgable, get a few things backwards. Honestly, he could've cut out a couple of the mistakes and made himself look like a know it all, perfect smurf who can't take a wrong step. Instead, he showed us how easy it is to overlook something, do it over, and then succeed with it. That's important: to double and triple check stuff like this, do it again and do it right, and then check it all again if you had to change something. That's what so incredibly valuable here, his humility and transparency. I wonder if Linus is as transparent with making mistakes or overlooking a detail. But truly, just makes me feel good to know that, although everyone says "it's easy, anyone can put a pc together" that is isn't, and that the mistakes and do-overs, the trial and error, of my first (very basic) build, are definitely part and parcel of the process and I did not do a bad job or a slow job. Because it did take longer than I was expecting for sure, most of my Saturday , like when I woke up around 8, til around 10. I just wish I had put in some rgb fans or something. I might just buy individual led tape and plug it in if that's a possibility. I just want the inside of the case lit up a bit.

on 9:49: You can actually fit the 28mm fittings in there by separating the 2x 90 rotary fittings and installing the 28mm first to the 1st 90rotary. The trick would be to connect the 28mm + 90 fitting first to the res then you can just rotate the rotary part of that 90 to connect to the 90 on the radiator. I've done it a few times before in similar situations

These videos never get old. Your channel and a couple others taught me how to build my own PC back in 2016. I built another one in 2017. Was awesome info then, and still awesome information. Glad to see how far the channel has come. 2016 feels like forever ago. I still have both PC, and still use the 2017 one everyday. I want to upgrade it to maybe a Ryzen 7950x, with an Asus Z670E-E and a kick butt graphics card, a Corsair LCD XT cooler and some Corsair ram. I recently updated the 1060 that was in it to a GTX 3060 as well as an ultra wide monitor and changed everything over to a Hyte y60 case. But for being a i7-7700k with an Asus z270 gaming, it’s still fast and I can play everything in Ultra. Without you guys, I would still be dreaming. Just wish I had the funds to upgrade to my dream build. Next thing I want to upgrade to is the AIO, mine is a H115i from 2017, not sure how much life it has left in it.

[@scotianbank]

I mentioned this the last time Jay used the Corsair foggy hard tubes "pmma", but here I go again I guess xD PMMA is just the scientific name for acrylic glass... So when you say you don't know how to describe the feeling, perhaps it's because you haven't worked with acrylic for a long time and just don't remember the exact feeling for it. My guess is that Corsair isn't saying "acrylic tubes" and uses the term PMMA instead, because of the negative view that acrylic tubes have gained these last 5 years of KZbin PC videos. This "infamy" stems from the fact that working with PETG is just easier and requires less patience and precision, so not only is it easier for first time users, but it also makes life easier for PC KZbinrs that needed to make lots of custom PCs for their videos (as well as professional PC builders that sell custom rigs). So yeah, I know Corsair is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest sponsor of your channel, but wether you're purposely avoiding that fact, or are not properly investigating the products you feature in your videos... I think that should change :/

[@dirtnaps]

This build looks fantastic. There's something always sexy about Black and Silver. Do yourself a favor and get a Megahome Countertop water distiller. Sure it takes about 4 hours for a gallon of water but you never have to worry about doing a store run last minute and can always refill the gallon jugs to always keep 2 or 3 on hand as needed. I've probably made 500 gallons in the last 3 years and mine is still going strong. Fil it up, let it churn overnight and come in to a fresh gallon that reads zero PPM on my TDS reader. Worth every penny.

[@jeffbekeris]

Hi J ... thank you so much for the post about the updates to your build. It's beautiful. I, too, heard the rain this last week (I live in SoCal), working late on my build. You just had to show those EKWB fittings. They look mighty sweet! I might have to put the final completion of mine on hold until I get my hand on some of those. They're going like hotcakes! Just a note (yes, you were punch drunk, lol)..., 'friction loss' would be a more accurate description of the resistance in the water flow vs. 'back pressure.' It increases with all fittings, especially when you incorporate turns using 90s. Again, very beautiful, and thanks for the longer, 'old school' format. Much appreciated! 😉👍

[@Ham.V0]

I'm still on a shitbox computer, upgrading to an aio soon, yet I'm researching water-cooling.

Hey @JayzTwoCents , that 28mm Male male static extender you’d like to put in that small spot connecting rad to distro plate that you say you can’t add. Why not just work backwards? Take everything on that line off and work backwards starting from the distro. So in order of input start from distro plate, screw in 28mm, then screw in 90. Then go from the rad and do the same until the last part is the 14mm extender. Use the rotary on the 90 for easy installation. Take the tube out, it’ll look much cleaner man

I've been using shelving L brackets involving GFX cards, a tiny L braket is made to hold over a hundred pounds, so buying & cutting it down to the size you need. And if you tap screws in the right places, the GFX Card will NEVER move, or sag. When helping a friend who built his own case out of wood, we used a shelving L bracket to mount the card vertical, mounting the PCIe in the bracket, lol now I want to do it on a my next build.

[@casen_7349]

That transition at 32:07 was nuts. Great job Phil.

[@rickysargulesh1053]

I loved how Phil used the shape of the fitting to cut to the next shot. God of montages

[@phenomanII]

Glad to see someone who's as into watercooling as you finally show of a leak tester! As a budget concious watercooler (yeah I know, it doesn't really work) that is the most *vital* piece of equipment you can get. It allowed me to buy used hardware and check every component by itself, then test the whole loop. Had a slight leak on the CPU block, that would definitely screw up my day.

[@Cyneward]

Dude this is beautiful omg! IT'S A DREAM! Congrats! So happy for you!

[@crixmorgan]

Loved this... was good even though you were tired!! That system is gorgeous!! Phil's skill's give me the chill's!!!! Cudo's to all!! Enjoy that rig now man!!!

[@soulrider678]

Building my first rig in over 10 years (and first ever water-cooled) seems I've made good choices on components as I've picked similar to yourself although my hard pipe definitely isn't looking as smart. Just waiting on my flow meter (same one as yours) to arrive tomorrow so good to know about switching the impeller over. Taken considerably longer than i expected with all the RGB and water-cooling and I'm only doing that on the CPU. Been following the channel for loads of tips during this build which has been really helpful and at points saved me making painstaking mistakes.

[@Wolf-qr8jq]

Hope you got your 8 hours of sleep, Jay. Thanks for pumping out content like this and thank you for sharing your personal build [x670e hero motherboard, 1200watt p2 vega 3 PSU, unknown ram speed - corsair ram(cl 30 6000Mhz?), 7950x3d, and I failed to see if you were going to run a 8tb ssd or a standard 2tb.]

[@hoogovens3261]

32:10 Phil, that screen-split using the CPU block accent was pretty sick!

[@alderoth01]

I'm just glad you had all that money to spend honestly. Good for you!!

[@TheZoenGaming]

It looks great, Jay! I'm going with three of EK's crossflow rads for my O11D XL with two sets of QD fittings between the water blocks and the rads that will allow me to take the rads out for easy dusting. The bottom QD will also function as my drain and I'll have an Alphacool flow and temp meter so that I can monitor the liquid temps and the flow rate and use that in Fan Control to adjust the fans and pump to keep the system cool under load. To be honest, I haven't done any watercooling since the mid-2000s so it's somewhat daunting, but I'm excited to do it.

[@christopherarriaga9076]

I was adamant that I would never bother with a custom water cooled build because of all the problems that came with trying to figure out the order of operations, but after seeing this beauty I think it's well worth the effort.

[@TheRealBobbyMC]

Dude the iFixit ad shows an A-tier understanding of the surrealist comedy style. Whosoever is responsible has a bright future ahead of them in comedy editing if they choose to pursue it.

[@brandonmarick2799]

This is an amazing build. Thanks so much for the longer/build related content. It is awesome to see the process

[@kuzmadejan]

Clear acrylic tubes are scratch-resistant and have the clarity and brilliance of glass but are lighter and more durable. Also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), these tubes are made of a thermoplastic material that can be fabricated and thermoformed into different shapes.

[@92F0XBody]

My favorite phil-montage is still black ice. I watched that one multiple times 😂 Adds a really nice touch to the hard work that goes into these builds 🤘🏻

[@josephwimerYoYoYo]

Phil outdid himself on the montage. And you outdid yourself on the detail! Best looking PC yet IMO.

[@larsondavis8155]

I just came to youtube to comment on a video of yours to tell you, My VERY FIRST CPU WATERBLOCK is JAYZTWOCENTS CORSAIR XC8. Love you guys. Have a 3080 ti that is the original loop with an i5-12600k on an AIO. I am adding a new 13900k (I just justify it by saying, "I'm a tech enthusiast so, yes.") to the loop. Would never have been able to do this without you guys and this channel. Thank you. Edit: Just wanted to add- Sick. F******. Build. And Phils Video of it makes it even more epic. Epic Epic Epic. Some serious Minecraft with this... RTX ON for sure XD

[@faealiciadotsys]

29:58 But acting like children is the best part! lol Fun part aside, awesome build. All the single and solid 90-degree angles hits my OCD really well. Having tubing go all the way across is neat and all, but the short bits like this make it aesthetically pleasing to me in a way I can't describe. The lighting choice is great too. I'm generally not a big fan of RGB but this is definitely a nice contrast and so I really can't complain. It's not overpowered like straight-up white would be (thanks, autism, for letting me notice that before you even mentioned it) and it fits in really well with the overall color scheme. Edit: Almost forgot to mention that the matte and clouded overall look is amazing. I much prefer this to a glossy finish and clear water. Not sure why it's so appealing to me but it is.

[@farrez_gump]

I always make a homemade extension with soft tubing and a few extra fittings to make your tester outside of the case

[@RKBenchmarker]

Clean! I really like those EK Satin Titanium fittings! Good job!

[@tiromandal6399]

I was like "WOAH" the moment the incomplete built came on screen. One of the very rare finest built I've ever seen and one that also looks adult.

[@azreow]

This is one of your best recent videos. I love this stuff. Good old Jay doing what Jay does best. This kind of video brought me to your channel with the old Skunkworks with the 4790k and it's kept me around for a long time. Please keep making these vids Jay ... and get some sleep! Thanks for the great content!

[@MrAcuta73]

What's going to drive me nuts in doing my first rigid tube loop is getting all those "it's a few degrees off" problems fixed. Building in a Lian Li V3000 Plus, so I'll have ROOM to work, but that might actually bite me in the ass, too. Leaves to be seen. Can't plan a loop til Wednesday when the rest of my parts arrive (waiting for EK blocks, fans, and an AIO just to test the system and update drivers/BIOS), THEN order fittings and wait some more. I MIGHT order a couple of those flow meters (dual loop..duh). They look amazing, but how to work them in with what I want to do....not sure. Rig will be all black and purple. Painting the grating on the case Plum Crazy. Also, if you had affiliate links, I just ordered both the pressure tester AND that tubing bit. LOL

[@Kheays]

I’m making my build this year and just wanted to thank you for helping me and inspiring me along the way. I plan to get a computers job this summer to earn the last third and get some more experience in software and hardware maintenance. Thanks man, you sparked an obsession of mine, and I won’t be forgetting that for a long time.

[@Jayztwocents]

Glad to help

[@ElainCorrine]

Love the build. I just rebuilt my computer from the ground up but with off the shelf stuff. An all in one water cooler for the cpu, cheap RX 6600 gpu. If I wasn't getting eaten alive by health and medical issues I'd probably have built a much cleaner, nicer looking system. So, as I can't do that, I get my thrill watching you build awesome looking rigs that leave me drooling on myself at how awesome they look. Keep building them. I'll keep watching you build them!

[@AdrianStaicu82]

With water cooling, you can fit all the components in the height of one PSU. Yet all cases are wide enough to accommodate at least one 120mm fan over the RAM and getting bigger for the 4080.

[@shinotabi]

It’s really great to see some OG content Jay. After all this years, still love your channel.

[@brianhahne9623]

Phil killed it man!!!!! Sweet build I’m sure you’re gonna love it

[@HAYWIRE2466]

Damn, that is a beautiful system. I was expecting the RGB lights to be white, but no. We have the same color scheme. Love that little bit of violet.

[@100MilWill]

LOL @23:31 as Jay is pumping the pump and goes "Oh yeah" lol!!!

[@MattsSoScene]

Gorgeous build, dude. It was a pleasure to watch too.
