The Beginners Guide to shopping for watercooling parts!

[@Jayztwocents]

WOW... so it looks like I accidentally cut out the entire segment I made about pumps.... guess a Part 2 is in order... Linus Style, here we come!

[@chrisc1140]

+JayzTwoCents rip LTT

[@dysthimia]

Woops! Almost made me watch it twice to make sure I didn't go completely herp derp on you there, haha!

[@chrisc1140]

+Bainanaz It's funny, because that's the kind of thing Linus would say in his videos, too.

[@ervisbekteshi5695]

+JayzTwoCents Pardon me but are you missing a right upper canine ?

[@TinchoX]

+JayzTwoCents Yay Linus style!!.....what's a Linus style? :/

[@7nye797]

Watching this 6 years later and its still gold !

[@SicSemperBeats]

It's amazing how much he knows about his craft. I have a new respect for him I really do. I enjoy people who are experts at what they do

[@internetfamous5491]

Do you know my daddy

[@stephenswander5960]

I know this video might be a little dated, but still very helpful. I want to do a custom watercooling on a tower I'm building after the first of the year. I gotta tell ya, these videos are invaluable for us amateurs that want the satisfaction of building our own system. I haven't built my own system for 20 years. Lots of for me to absorb. THANK YOU!

[@blueckaym]

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. ;)

[@cardbored_]

It’s true. Can confirm.

[@DaWigSplitta]

came here to see if someone finished the lyrics LOL

[@TheEwashere]

That has really deep philosophical meaning if you think about it.

[@Clove_Parma]

blueckaym I believe the quote actually goes “feed a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Deport a man and you will never have to feed him again”

[@Mookawow]

Ahhh... a wonderful Terry Pratchett quote

[@jameskeil9712]

Learning to build computers as a bonding activity with my 9 yr old son. We both like the way water cooled PC's look and function. This video was great. Look forward to others.

[@thenamesleo1625]

I've watched this probably 10 times, and everytime I watch it I pick something up that I missed. great video jay, much love.

[@RETZ1LLA]

Dude I wanna let you know I appreciate you so much. Your one of my favorite KZbinrs just because you really don't care what is said you say it because you can and it's damn funny. Thanks for all the water cooling guides it's helping me prepare to install my own. I already have all the parts but seeing the do's and dont's is always a +

[@Twiggy163]

Just wondering: in civil engineering regarding pipelines, we avoid direct 90 degree turns as much as possible. If a 90 degree turn is needed, we use 2 45 degree turns. This has to do with the flow of water and energy required to keep it moving (goes for both pressure pipes and free flow pipes). So would the same principle apply to a PC loop? would it be better if you avoid 90 degree turns as much as possible? There isnt much room in there though.

[@Jman116Films]

Yes, however 90 degree turns are usually used for aesthetic purposes. Side note, I took the first year of the STEM Academy, and instead of taking CEA then Civ Engineering, I took robotics 1, what's all in that course?

[@Twiggy163]

Jman116Films Ehm, not sure I understood all that. What exactly are you asking me?

[@Jman116Films]

Hah, nevermind then. But I'll explain a bit about my ramblings... STEM Academy is offered at my highschool for students who excel in learning, and Civil Engineering was the Junior Year of that, however I'm taking robotics, which is a different branch. I thought this was the same for most schools, however apparently it isn't.

[@Twiggy163]

Jman116Films well I'm Dutch, so there might be a slight difference in our education system :) Wantee to work on coastal defences since my nation is valued for its expertise in that area. But I quickly found myself working on pipeline designs (routes from a to b). The company I work for did ask for a brief assistance with a coastal project in Colombia. But, despite the profession not being what I was aiming for, I'm very happy doing what I do. In my first year I got a basis on everything: civil engineering, construction management, engineering (houses and utility buildings) and lster chose for civil engineering management. Less focused on designing, more on management during construction.

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

water generates a lot of turbulence when being run at 90 degree angles. It can mess up the flow and create a lot of noise.

[@adamduffield7782]

Great video. I've been looking to get into liquid cooling for a while now, the only thing stopping me is cost and lack of knowledge. Feel more confident in giving it a try at some point after watching these videos. I've been building systems now for 17 years, (back in the k7 Athlon and Pentium 2 era) love the look of water cooling, especially the ridged pipe setups. Thanks again keep up the good work.

[@CryptkeyprVT]

I have a few questions. How does positive or negative air pressure inside your case affect the cooling in in the case? Which is better for liquid cooling? Does radiator placement have and effect on cooling? If so, what is the optimal placement? What kind of airflow do you need and do you still need to worry as much about air paths? What should you look for in a good water cooling case, and how do some of the custom cases stack up against say a corsair d900 (the mountain mod cases for example)? And are these custom cases worth their expense? What should a person look for in fans when water cooling, and what are some fans you recommend? How difficult is it to change things when adding or removing components and upgrades? Sorry if these questions are silly or too newb.

[@GarretSlarrity]

I'd love to see you make this a series, and a whole video for each type of part!

[@mrKozmoz]

I need to do another custom loop, it's been almost 15 years since my last one, involving a t-bird, then moved that setup to a few XP builds. I remember mixing in water wetter with a drop of anti-growth, worked fantastic. The late 90s and early 00's were an odd era, of heater cores and DIY hobbyists on HardOCP making blocks, which I bought one, had an issue, guy sent another one for cost of shipping. Then some DangerDen stuff, finally stopping at DTek. Great video JayZ, nailed all the points.

[@brechanfraser5797]

Suggestions...for the upcoming video(s): 1) Discuss the pros and cons of having a reservoir vs having a T-line in the system. 2) Discuss the various pumps are the market - pumps from various manufacturers (e.g. EKWB, Laing, Alphacool, Koolance, XSPC, to name a few), why one is better than the other, pro and cons of using a fan controller to adjust the speed, etc.

[@Gametherapist]

Watercooling has been easy for me from the get-go. At least up to the point of actually building the loop : P My first loop took me continuous 26 hours to build because I had a leak somewhere. But I have to say, I wouldn't have had the knowledge if it wasn't for you, JayzTwoCents So on that note: Thanks a lot for everything you have done! I will continue to spread your wisdom among the people.

[@EposVox]

Informative video, thanks!

[@MadMexism]

Jay the reason why i love your channel and subscribed, is how you just keep it real and just rocket ship through no matter how many brain farts and puns that tend to surface! LMAO!!! Much love man keep making the awesome and educational content you bring to youtube. your the best man. Am thinking bout getting corsair h100 GTX. cheers from south Texas!!!

[@QuestionmarkX3]

Would you mind talking about pumps and filling, draining, cleaning and just general watercooling loop maintenance? (If it doesn't make the video too long, also add a bit about radiator maintenance.) Side Note: Just want to say, Distilled and De-ionized water are basically the same thing. Both are really just purified water. They just go through different processes, and if you know a high school science teacher, you can get either for free.

[@johnhawkins6901]

You can buy purified water probably easier than distilled because its usually more stocked and visible, like Jay Said, 1$. Please don't EVER confuse regular puirifed water with DH20 or DIH20 as anybody can purify water by dumping it through a funnel. Purified water when you buy from a grocery store is definetely going to be clean water, but with electronics its not good if not distilled or de-ionized (ive never used di water), but I use distilled water every day! Problem with purified water in a grocery store is that it is meant to drink, and if you drink distilled water your just filling your bladder. Normal puirified water looks the same to the eye, but contains ELECTROLYTES and usually microscopic minerals, alot of stuff that I would not want running in my loop. Electrolytes cause corrosion and depending on your geo-location some water iver noticed is just no good at all, I have seen water very clear and also corrode the board of a smartphone charging port from wet to covered in corrosion in minutes! I've also seen tap water run clean in a loop for several months, so im not sure but PLEASE don't mistake and go buy purified or worse, spring water. Jay, I am an enthusiast like you and most of your huge 2++million subscribers (congratulations!!), I've been building PC's for 2 decades but been surrounded by data centers and high tech stuff as a boy could ever ask for, but I learned alot from you, especially how to custom loop as I made my first bends last week.. Yes i overpaid and bought the thermaltake kid with mandrels and that horrific de-burr tool that comes in it. Here's my question, is touching up the end of PETG critical to where a choppy tool like that will cause problems? I use the 4 o-ring 16mmOD compression fittings they work great but they are NOT CHEAP!!, i like the tool you used but i don't understand is there a "specific general" rule of how much you clean the end of your PETG, can I use a high grit sandpaper after the tool then rinse tubing out real good first, like is there any specification for that? I just want this PC (my first custom loop build) to be perfect. Smoother the better on the PETG or is it not? Thanks yall for your time in advance and thank you Jay for all the really cool things I've learned from you! Have a good one!

[@kedwardsTWO]

Jay, I love you right now. I was seconds from clicking the buy button on my first custom loop and you post this. BEST TIMING EVER!

[@95trane]

It's nice to see a video like this to help the beginners and their transition in watercooling but I feel like you glossed over a few things, though I understand that you did so in order to keep the video at a reasonable length. Firstly, you mentioned at the beginning of the video that Reservoirs are optional and then did not speak of them again for the rest of the video. it's not too difficult to figure out what they do in a loop, but a quick explanation and why it's optional would have been nice. And as you mentioned, people tend to over complicate fittings and tubing due to all those numbers. You've mentioned the numbers and what they mean, but I feel a visual representation would have prove useful. Even a demonstration as to what happens when you mismatch the numbers. It would just help to actually see what happens when you get things right and when you get things wrong. Also soft vs rigid tubing fittings, what are the differences? Why can't they be used interchangeably? Again, I feel that a visual representation regarding the differences between them and how they work would be helpful. Lastly regarding liquids, You brought up some great points and I learned some things and realized that I overlooked some stuff (sorry Jay, I didn't heed your advice / warning and am using distilled water for my loop :P ) but I feel you glossed over some minor stuff. You mentioned growth and corrosion but didn't really explain as to what they were. Again, something in which isn't too difficult to figure out but it's good to cover all the bases especially for those that are new to this. Overall, I feel that this was a great overview of everything but maybe you can make a separate video for each of the components in a series to further explain what they do and how they work in greater detail. This way it'll make things a little easier for people to learn about what they need and can just skip over what they are confident with. Maybe a Beginners guide to watercooling playlist with this video being the introduction / overview with separate videos on each of the other watercoooling components in greater detail?

[@DhruvSringari]

+95trane I think you figured everything out yourself xD. I don't think he'll make ANOTHER video anyway on water cooling overviews.

[@Ashaira]

+95trane j has a few more videos on watercooling and how to start that go into more depth and the info in them is still 100% relevant so go watch those. it's how i got started though i went for distilled water for now. will change it once i change the gpus and add them to the loop. right now i have 2 480 monsta rads cooling a single noneoverclocked cpu. the poor thing stayed at room temp when it was 40 degrees outside.

[@Jayztwocents]

+95trane All very fair points. I will find a way to update the content without repeating myself, but still include this. truth be told, I talked about this... but apparently during my late night editing I accidentally cut it out.... damn.

[@jasoneswan]

Jay, I've been water cooling for about 6 years using only distilled water, I've done 3 builds during that time and the 2 upgrade cycles since then when things were all tore down, everything in the loop was pretty much like new, and the fluid was completely clear. Its possible I've just been really lucky, but it hasn't been my experience that anything corrodes. I'll add some PT nuke or a coil next time just for some "insurance".

[@l3pje]

Nice video @JayzTwoCents ! Get em addicted! Best hobby ever :)

[@BalubishTech]

+Peter ”L3p” Brands Yeah its jays fault I got addicted and have spent $800 bucks so far on watercooling parts, damnit! But I dont regret it :) btw, there is anti-corrosive additve to destilled water out, I've used it in my loop and seems to work great. As always jay, good video.

[@Pedro_MT_Marques]

Hi Commander Shepard

[@nicktaylor8947]

Hi Commander EdgeLord

[@camillesreels3745]

How about setting up your loop to where it easily works the air bubbles out when filling and also drains well when emptying. I would also like to become more familiar with obscure fittings that are needed for tight spaces and such, and stuff like knowing more about T-valves for draining and the like. When should we replace o'rings?

[@wilpeachy9749]

+Paul Theuns They use a chemical sorta like antifreeze and no it won't ruin your nice and shiny 6700k.

[@Jayztwocents]

+Wil Peachy Unless it leaks, which ANY watercooling is capable of doing, whether it be a custom loop or not.

[@singerboiipat]

Thanks Jay. You're awesome man. I built my pc a little over a year ago. It was my first build, and I originally planed to do a custom water loop. But I changed my mind because I figured it would be too challenging for my first ever pc build. Now however I Believe it is time to go for it, and convert my current pc into a complete water cooled system. of course I'll be using your videos as guides, as I have in the past, for my current pc. Keep the magic coming. You're an inspiration.

[@ryanwhitlock7350]

"When I talk about watercooling I get very passionate about it." Yes Jay, we know this. You have Skunkworks behind you, we don't need any reminders.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Thanks Jay. I think the only thing left to talk about really are accessories to aid a person with watercooling such as a heat gun, de-burrer (sp?), and possibly a bender and/or silicon tube for bend aiding. And any other tools. Maybe fan preference or recommendations for certain radiator types taking into account fin density, thickness, and combos there of. Could you also talk about the blocks beyond the CPU and GPU? I've seen videos cooling RAM and chipsets. Great vid, good background music and as always both entertaining and informative. These past few videos have really been bolstering my confidence and desire in liquid cooling. Now to just save up the cash.

[@Dubimoxd]

Honestly, as a first time user for watercooling i would RECOMMEND the h55 it was on sale for 30 bucks off and had a simple concept to installing but it was hard to actually put it in.I also had a very quiet pump and THERE IS A VERY LOW CHANGE FOR ALL IN 1 CPU WATER COOLERS TO LEAK.Just my own opinion i would go for a All - In - 1 Cpu watercooler when dealing with watercoolers as a beginner

That is why scientists associate radial distances without giving some finite level of extent (because there is none, the mass of the atmosphere is divergent) That said, yes at basically every distance that isn't to the moon, Russia made it there first. To all of you, it was a joke. Enjoy it hahaha.

Did you just call the US the "standards" system? You do realize, that global standard is Meter not toe nail per square palm of an inbread farmer family in the mid west?

[@oxOsicknessOxo]

In north america, yes even in Canada where they use the SI system, the international system of units (aka SI) is referred to as the metric system and the english units as standard. For tools or fasterners it's either standard size also labelled SAE or the metric size. That's how it is, personaly I prefer using the SI system because 17 cm is more logical to me than 6 inches and 88/127. But who cares, whatever float their boats, if these guys could send some men on the moon using these units, they can call it standard, I won't care.

[@sniperlif3]

US is considered Standard or SAE, International is Metric, or SI. This is what it is called, he was not saying it as the standard in the world.

[@aaronchamberlain4698]

And you do realize that the British invented our measurement system right? It was previously called "The Imperial System". The US is one of only 3 countries using an alternative measurement system.

And now here we are in blissful ignorance.....

Looking forward to another part about pump, reservoir and fans for water cooling. Also do maybe a small section about AIO coolers, explaining how they often have a small reservoir built onto the radiator for example.

[@Yuyin0x]

OMG! Jay to the ground now!!! you have a sniper aiming to your head!!!...JESUS hope he's ok!

[@Silveredy]

Thanks again Jay, I just miss some example of circuits. Some people don`t know how start, first pump?

[@WreckDiver99]

Thanks for this one Jay! Are you planning on putting together a playlist of these? You've done a few different water cooling tutorials (fittings, bending, etc.), in the past...since you're getting a rather large amount of videos now would you consider putting these all into a single playlist...similar to the Skunkworks build Vlog. Again, thanks for the vids!!

[@bhco]

You should talk about dye. I used to put dye in my loops, but because it makes so many pipes go hard, and just stains everything. I just run plain water. Acutally, I just buy distalled battery water, used it for years, dirt cheap too.

[@andrew9569]

Thanks, Jay. There were a number of things I heard in this video that I didn't hear in other people's videos.

[@MrElmotive]

You should make a video about connecting the fans and the pump, and how to control both pumpspeed and fanspeeds. My motherboard has pump/fan connectors.

I especially enjoyed the segment on pumps and reservoirs.

I had a series of emails with koolance and EK about the Length of the blocks. and they said it's the price point the makes them go with those particular lengths for the respective material.

Think I'm going to do a full copper line cooling tube thing with my drain looking like a garden tap... see what I can get made from copper... that would look cool.

[@nitrosport5]

was wondering why my nano fluid settled out a bunch of crap in the bottle sitting on my desk. had hoped it wasn't bad or something. all good info to know. looking back I probably shouldn't have gone with the 80mm monster rad... but as a noob I thought massive rad was the way to go.... it barely fits my corsair 800d haha

[@seanmcmunn88]

Have you tried freezing your PETG tubes before cutting? That should make the lines much cleaner when you cut due to the tubes being harder

[@sonusfaber808]

Thanks for doing this Jay. Even though I make my living as an IT specialist, it's not like we mess with water cooling. And I'm cpu, mobo, and memory into a full blown Skylake gaming build that is going to be OCed with water. Thanks again and keep them coming please.

I am a 12 year user of distilled water, it still looks clean, all i have done to it was to add a piece of silver coil and thats it.

Thanks Jays ! Im new to your Channel . I asked about this subject on another video about what size fittings go into a radiator . If only I would of searched first I would of found my answer sooner . Thanks for the help !!

[@erikvasauez9361]

Might be a noob question, but for pump tops with aluminum, will that aluminum be in contact with the fluid? And if so, would that be mixing metals if you’re going with copper/nickel plated heatsinks, blocks, radiators etc?

[@jubul666]

THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME. i recently got a great job and can actually afford an enthusiast grade system and i want to liquid cool it, itll probably have a 6700k and 2 GTX 980tis i want hard line tubing as well, you have always been the liquid cooling guru on youtube for me.

[@marc-andrevalcourt4401]

wow thx bro... clear, straight to the point, simple..... i got i question, When shopping for coolant, do i have to keep in mind black nickel fitting?

[@itsnotamistakeitsamasterpi1158]

Question on the radiator capacity recommendation... The recommendation was 1 - 120mm per item cooled or 2 per item if over-clocking. What radiator thickness/fin density is that rule of thumb using? Currently my intention is for a 6700k on possibly an MSI Gaming M9 with a GTX 1080. I would initially be over-clocking the CPU and cooling the motherboard caps and fets. I would be adding down the road the 1080 and water block for that.

[@StreamusTime]

Please turn this into another in depth series, I am planning on doing a double radiator stack inside a fractal core 500, using 38mm thick fans to have space between radiators for fittings. One radiator dedicated to the CPU, one dedicated to the GPU, and all in one loop.

[@jamestamer7027]

Jay, I would love to see a guide showing how to build a loop including drainage. I've seen a lot of videos from reputable folks, such as yourself, on how to build a loop. I don't remember any of them showing how to factor in draining the loop for periodic maintenance.

[@UnfocusedRacing]

@JayzTwoCents I know you've used different tools over the years for ridged tubing. Maybe a video with what your using now? If not can you post a list?

[@GavinRemme]

Did u miss the reservoir section? There are lots of options..would like to know more about them.

[@StephenBoyd21]

Thanks Jay, I feel that I'm starting to get the grasp of what I'll need/want when it comes to my cooling loop.

[@roteroktober360]

a thick 120mm rad with push/pull config will easily cool an nvidia card and intel cpu, its just a bit louder or you cant overclock much

[@MrGunnarPower]

A "G" thread is an old German standard for gas fittings still used today in industries like pneumatic control and nitrogen delivery.

[@vividconcept]

I would like to hear more about pumps from you....size power consumption and volume moved!
