No more EK!

I took all of the EKWB parts out of Skunkworks and this is the result!

Phil needs an editing segment or his own channel, that editing was amazing. Skunkworks looks phenomenal as well love the matte black with the cool neon lighting

[@PocketDrummer]

I'd watch a Phil video showing how to edit.

[@ghomerhust]

"how to B roll like a BAWSS"

[@Burnstation19]

I wanna see phil build a pc, jay film and edit the vid lol

[@_mike]

I kinda dislike how "overedited" it always is, especially in this kind of content.

[@Burnstation19]

@@_mike in a way I agree, we don't really get to see jay being jay only snippets of cuts, bending etc. no hate on Phil's work but it would be nice to have a full length video of just Jay being jay building a pc.

[@pootmahgoots8482]

You went with the matte black tubing!!! Holy crap that looks good, Jay! Definitely one of if not THE best iteration of Skunkworks. Love the blacked out look!

[@jondonnelly4831]

It's the nicest one yet.

[@aarontrupiano9328]

it's a shame that stuff is so expensive but that quality is very impressive

[@scarecrow5848]

jay actually said the stuff is about the same price as the offerings from EK on his review for the radiators and stuff alone, so for the quality of the stuff compared to EK, its actually really well priced. just thought I'd point this out as a FYI.

[@jondonnelly4831]

I did my build with Corsair for the most part and Bykski for the GPU cause it's exact fit for my Gigabyte 4090. It's a bit cheaper.

[@DanielFrost79]

​​@@jondonnelly4831 What is the cost of a complete loop? (For your build ofcourse) Up to you if you want to answer. 👍

[@HamBown]

No way I could justify water vs air cooling, personally, but I love seeing awesome water cooled setups

[@get2choppa429]

It’s not necessarily expensive. Optimus water blocks are head and shoulders above in quality vs everything’s else.

[@PulpComic]

Blackout fittings, block and tubing is gorgeous.

[@cannotkazi]

7:03 Whoever was responsible for that, You had me floored. Superb B roll audio score with that pristine edit for the whole montage, impeccable!

[@chrys9256]

I was hoping for a Phil montage, he did not dissappoint. His music choices are fantastic as well.

[@jakemoore-rt5pr]

This may be the cleanest sleekest build I've ever seen. I love the colors, and the complete ridiculousness of that much cooling.

[@kevinlloyd3047]

That soundtrack went about 5000% harder than necessary and I love it

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

4:59 that slide in just looked so smooth.

[@VorpalSyndicate]

I will never get tired of watching Phil's computer showcases he does, they are simply amazing.

[@julianguintu145]

One word, CLEAN. Those black fittings, tubes, and the block are beautiful.

[@AntVenom]

Loving this iteration of Skunkworks! It’s amazing how much you’ve improved with time! Also that edit was s tier

[@patrickcarrillo714]

Definitely the end of an era when it comes to EK Products in Skunkworks but EK did that to themselves. These Blocks and this theme is freaking cool Super stealthy looking

[@Pratalax]

Good lord, it looks so dope now. Big improvement to my eye for sure! Even kinda like how the bubbles delineate the flow path in the distro plate. It's like that micro machines level.

Man, aesthetically, this might be my favourite build of yours yet.

I love these skunkworks videos, I have been saving for 2 years to do my custom loop and decided to scrap my all EK build idea to go a different route. So excited for watercooling month. Keep up the good work Jay and team.

[@arctic_void]

That mini circular saw is so badass. I have no need for it but I got to have one now, thanks..

[@deadeye4868]

Cheap too. got mine for $35 at Harbor Freight

[@fl0pit]

Idea for a future montage : Bending pipes filmed with thermal imaging ?

[@thepopeofkeke]

Only if you stitch in Arnold “you are wonugly mudderfhaker” from the predator every time he messes up a bend

[@kevinschmitt845]

This setup looks absolutely amazing. Black tube and fittings are great, love the 2 different loop and fan colors. Great job on this build!

[@LuckyArmpit]

Next level build AND editing. Great works, guys!

[@rangersmith4652]

Beautiful build. I'm glad Jay is still doing custom liquid loops so I can admire his and don't have to build one again. Once was more than enough.

[@zushiba]

Every time I see someone eyeballing a joint I wonder why no one ever uses a goniometer. I can see why Jay wouldn't need one because he's done it so much it's not necessary but if I were water cooling my system today I would totally spend $8 on a quick angle protractor measuring tool.

[@stevehyena1605]

I have not been 100% in love with all the other cases this is tight as heck. Outstanding, love the blue and purple.

[@sebastienbechard798]

IMHO this is your ultimate build so far... just stunning! Awesome work Jay! 👌

[@glbernini0]

Your build is AMAZING! Makes me glad I have a Fractal Define 7 with a solid panel! No temptation to make things pretty!

The itch won't go away !

[@brando3342]

Remember to take care of your health, Jay 🙏

[@darksid3_yt623]

Jay, I'm always so impressed how you get everything to just line up so damn perfect. I wish my runs always came out this clean. Even with offsets, I can't seem to get everything on straight lines. Either that, or the offset fittings end up just taking over the entire aesthetic. Really nice job on Skunkworks. I've always been a fan of this build.

[@McCool117]

This video is just a complete flex on everyone. Jay building a badass pc with no EK products, and Phil's crazy awesome editing skills.

[@Sgt_SealCluber]

Fan count can go crazy, my Tower 900 build has (9) 140mm and (4) 120mm. Yet even with all those fans it's still almost silent because of the overkill 560mm and 480mm rads only needing the fans set to 35%.

[@supermegarichkid2138]

When you need a 500 watt power supply for just the fans....LOL

[@pcbuilderlover4271]

Love the bends vs fittings. Nice job! 👍

[@NAMze86]

Looks awesome! The amount of RGB is perfect and not over the top and the pattern set for them is perfect. Love the black tubing, having the two loops a different color I think looks good!

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

Fellow Commenters, You _know_ it had to take a lot of effort to get rid of all the EK components. Sure, some of it might still be perfectly functional and usable, but respecting the ethics to not glorify them until they get their act together again. I still love, love, love how clean Jay makes these builds look. It's awe inspiring. Tangent as it may be, with my semi-annual loop maintenance coming up, I *finally* caught a break and got some compression fittings for the size of soft tubes. Now just trying to secure a set of 45-degree adapters so I could make some clean lines when I redo the tubing on my main pc.

[@smoketinytom]

I do love being able to buy $1000+ of products to replace perfectly good stuff because of some poor business strategy. Oh wait, I live in the real world and can’t do that.

[@TrippyTimesTwo]

Funny way of saying “I flip burgers for $5/h and budget poorly”.

@@TrippyTimesTwo Wake Up, Babe! Someone made an assumption and they look like a total arse because of it!

[@TrippyTimesTwo]

@@smoketinytom My bad. I guess the assumption that a grown adult would have a job and the basic ability to budget is too much. Sorry about that. Hope things get better for you x

[@smoketinytom]

@@TrippyTimesTwo Is this why you're ostracised from society... Where the only engagement you get is online by making an arse out of oneself because you're disconnect. You can be on a comfortable income and to suddenly change your water blocks out because of the name on those blocks, not the performance, not because they need replacing, not because they're getting pulled apart for cleaning and you break something... They're being removed because of a brand name that Jay still stands by his tests on all the blocks they've sent out...

[@bikeboy86]

That was amazing editing Phil in the montage!

[@leemercey2260]

Thanks! I love your work. I would love a few days in your shop!

[@matejb2]

Yay can you please be more objective. I don't think it's ok for you to state ''EK stuff is on the bottom, in the basement, where it belongs''. Clearly you liked their products before all this shitshow happened, because you put it in your own PC build. If you don't want to use it anymore because of your own principles, that is completely fine. I am subscribed to channels like yours so i can see the good and the bad sides of the products you review and then decide by myself to buy or not buy the product

[@Rockett16]

He did the same to Asus products, but time has gone by and is using their products again. I give it 8 months, and he will be using EK products again.

[@josesitoes2259]

Don’t forget that Jay’s still the owner of his channel and hasn’t sold his soul to any of these companies. He’s free to say anything he wants on here, regardless of outside opinions

[@valleyforgedgoblin]

[@celcius_87]

This is the best that skunkworks has ever looked. You’ve got me hyped for my new build this fall.

[@frjhracing]

Jay, you should go find the hand/ manual vacuum bleeder kit. It comes with multiple fittings and rubber stoppers that will allow you to hook it up to your hard lines, and also typically have a intermediate canister (meant for capturing brake fluid). They usually span from 30-70 bucks depending on what you get. That way you can pull those air bubble right out and make the whole process trivial. Also not breaking the bank for other hardline/custom loop enthusiasts.

[@mcury85]
