PC Water Cooling Guide For Beginners - Commonly Asked Questions Answered

[@DesignsByIFR]

i hope you all enjoy and hopefully this is useful to some of you =)

[@Nico_LaBras]

I wish I knew you a few months earlier and that you made this video then because it is exactly what I wished i had find when I started to be interested in watercooling. I think it's extremly helpful for the newies in this scene because it really answers ALL the quiestions I had when I was new here myself!

[@DesignsByIFR]

thanks man much appreciated, sorry i didnt get it done earlier

[@dandel351]

Great video Cory, maybe you could set up a basic loop to demonstrate some of the answers to the beginners step by step. I was wondering if you could demonstrate to your viewers how to do a leak test by filling the loop with compressed air. That way the beginners are starting off without the possibility of finding a leak by spraying coolant all over their brand new hardware. I've made a simple test rig with a handful of fittings a cheap low pressure gauge and a push bike tyre pump. Great work mate love watching the custom mods you come up with.

[@DesignsByIFR]

great idea man thanks!

[@dandel351]

No worries Cory. I made a video about my leak test unit. It's fairly simple to use. Ignore the video quality I'm still learning how to make videos.

[@TefensTech]

Thanks for this video. Great information and well put.

[@DesignsByIFR]

If your doing a water cool pc do u have to water cool the gpu or just the cpu?

[@PiTdeLyX]

Nice Video man, good to know ^^ I actually will build my first Water-Cooling-Loop (EK A240 AIO-Kit) and this video actually came in very handy ;)

[@DesignsByIFR]

thank you very much =)

[@BEG_Bueno]

Ive only heard bad things about the All-in-one systems, mainly about the tubes cracking and leaking after the 1st year?, whats your experience with them? is this true? nice tutorial to man as per usual haha =)

[@DesignsByIFR]

+jared Ó Súilleabháin nope i know plenty of people who use AIO coolers

[@BEG_Bueno]

cheers man

[@danielhoete7155]

Im going to do hardline tubing and would like a tutorial on how to chamfer the tubing correctly (im using all ekwb gear)

[@DesignsByIFR]

great idea thanks man

[@shreeyanshshreekantlal3271]

Can we mix water cooling parts from different companies? I know there are a lot of questions because I am new to water cooling a pc

[@DesignsByIFR]

+shreeyansh s. lal yes you can as long as it is the same metals

[@shreeyanshshreekantlal3271]

How to water cool a gpu without voiding warranty or guarantee? And can we remove that warranty sticker without damaging it?

[@DesignsByIFR]

+shreeyansh s. lal if you are careful. Perhaps buy a card with waterblock pre installed. Evga seem pretty good with warranty even if it has been water cooled

[@yeatnaizhe8617]

Can u put liquid metal into the reservoir to increase overclocking speed for cpu and gpu.

[@DesignsByIFR]

+Summer Bahamut haha nope

[@slavakoole]

i have a imake some custome things with console

[@fischi9129]

one simple question, what do I need for hardtubing? bending, cutting... tool wise? :D

[@dandel351]

First you need to work out what tube material your going to use, (PETG or Acrylic tube). I would choose PETG for my first try. You need a heat gun to soften the tube to bend. A silicone mandrel to fit inside the tube while bending. To cut the tube I use pipe cutters (hardware store will have these in the plumbing section). You can use rulers and measuring tapes for measuring where your bends go but I tend to eyeball measure mine. I use a non permanent marker to mark where my bends are going. I would look at as many video tutorials as you can before you start. All ways buy a heap more tube than you think you need to account for learning to bend tube. The only way to really learn to bend tubes is to try it your self. For your first try I would keep the bends and loop layout as easy as you can. As your confidence grows you can try more advanced ideas. And remember NEVER let your pump run dry. I leak test my loops with air pressure. If you leak test with liquid , make sure you check all your fittings and ports are tight before filling the loop and make sure that only your pump is powered on. Good luck mate.

[@fischi9129]

dandel351 thx, obv. PETG^^ and thx for tipps^^

[@dandel351]

No problem at all. If you have anymore questions fire away and I'll see what I can do to help.

[@DesignsByIFR]

great ;questing, i can do a video on that =). You need a heat gun, silicone tube insert, a tube cutter or saw and a chamfer tool is handy too

[@ratuldasgupta8177]

Dude make a video on handmade custom decals for GPU backplate like some logos or very detailed symbols.......and as always nice video

[@DesignsByIFR]

[@ratuldasgupta8177]

[@LakerTriangle]

Tip: Don't buy the cheap soft tubing...I did and it turned cloudy in a month. All PETG now and no problems.

[@swegmastur614]

RdyPlyOne PETG is best

[@LakerTriangle]

Yea - I planned on all PETG to start but ran into an issue where I needed more fittings so I used soft tubing from Amazon to get the system up till I had time to re-think the loop...

[@swegmastur614]

RdyPlyOne The movie is coming out, have you read the book ready player one yet?

[@LakerTriangle]

Sweg Mastur multiple times! Looking forward to it.

[@DesignsByIFR]

PETG all the way =)

[@PatchyAdam]

I need one of them shirts you selling them :-)

[@DesignsByIFR]

hahahaha =)

[@noaimrazemain]

the only thing I know is I will close loop watercool my cpu so I can overclock it

[@DesignsByIFR]

awesome man!

[@noaimrazemain]

just a plan. wait until I can afford a h110i, one day XD

[@carlsson614]

PCGamerJay get a big ass noctua cooler. Way more reliable, silent Also it's a bit better

[@noaimrazemain]
