Thermaltake View 31 TG: Custom Water Cooled Build Log Pt 3

Part 3

Really admiring how this one’s coming together. Very happy you chose asymmetrical runs showing off depth. Makes for a more ‘organic’ feel, like an anatomical cut away. Keep up the excellent work & thx for sharing!

very clean ! nice job.

[@ccgert]

Those PCs look great in person.

Is there not any issue with the heat from the RAM and VRM's ect.? I heard you should usually try to have a fan blowing over them. Well, at least when overclocking.

Liking the build so far. Trying to get an idea of what i want to do for my first build, and this the the case I got for Christmas. But I'm curious about the run from the GPU to the CPU. Wouldn't that be water that was heated up by the GPU passing over the CPU? I would think it would make more sense to run the output from the GPU into the second Rad and then from the output of the second Rad into the CPU, then from the CPU to the reservoir. Just an idea, not sure if theres something I'm not getting or if the warm water from the GPU is cool enough to cool the CPU down.

loop order doesn't matter. Temps equalize throughout the loop within a few degrees C.

[@BRJ2012]

Awesome, I learn something new everyday. Thank you for the useful info!

[@BRJR12341]

Build looks amazing, could you post a link to the type of vinyl you use Thanks

[@xr8dmoose135]

I love you stuff man and i have a question, i have done a vertical gpu mount previously and used a decent black extension but even hidden they ugly asf, is there a chance you can customize the extension somehow? and if so could you possibly do a video on it?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

The Thermaltake one I purchased for this build looks decent and you can't really see it so it's not something I've considered.

[@pandacommanda2694]

Can you put up a link to the acrylic panels that you use? I would like to use them in my build. Thank you

[@v.aesthetic3764]

it's just 3mm thick acrylic. I order from Acrylite

[@emsj86]

You say you apply the vinyl wet? I've always just used a heat gun. Maybe show a clip of this in a future video. I would like to try it out.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

it's a common technique. More forgiving. Basically the same concept as applying window tint.

[@TheDarkSide292]

Nice build. Not a huge fan of the cpu runs personally, but still the rest looks really good. How come the vast majority of youtube builders use bitspower fittings? I've tried them, they're ok but I feel they're extremely overpriced compared to the competition. Not sure how they're getting away with it. Plus they have an ugly logo

[@v.aesthetic3764]

No other manufacturer comes even close to the selection of fittings that Bitspower offers. Yes, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Most of the popular youtube builders don't use bitspower, they use whatever they get for free.

[@emsj86]

Vita power have the best selection. At the end of the day the difference in price is not huge a dollar to 3 per fitting more but you have more options and the re sale value on bitspower is great compared to ek

[@bryandepaepe5984]

The main reason I like them is due to the fail safe design of their ninety degree rotary fittings where the rotation is on the actual threads as opposed to rotation on the body of the fitting. There is also a difference in the properties of purer higher quality raw materials (nickel, copper, bronze) that cost more to produce but makes a better longer lasting product.
