bend a longer pipe and then cut? possibly fill with water then freeze before hammering to help hold shape?

[@prOkrEAt]

There are pipe benders. Can make it as small or large as you wish btw. Kidn go amazed you went with cooper. Looks awesome. Still don't know where the 4090 is or will fit. Am I missing it?

[@johnwagner5061]

do a vacuum fill!

[@lemagreengreen]

Is cleacoating copper pipe a thing to stop it tarnishing (as fast)? maybe a bad idea for other reasons, just something I thought of.

[@MarcusMeece]

Can somebody explain to me why the customer would choose a t700 boot drive over a t705

[@MarcusMeece]

I figure I'm going to go with the 700 for my build but I don't fully understand why is that moronic

[@Purpletiger6Gaming]

why are the two rad's ones on top of the other and not something like the ALPHACOOL NEXXXOS MONSTA FULL COPPER 200MM RADIATOR? Would that not have given you more room for the pipes.

[@BilletLabs]

Unfortunately that radiator is too big in all 3 dimensions. We considered a 180mm square, but 180mm fans have much poorer static pressure than 92mm fans, so we went for the 184x92s.

[@MarcusMeece]

This build transcends every other build I've ever seen and inspires me beyond words you guys are masters of your craft

[@EcoAcid]

As much as I love this build, those attempts at bending the short bit of pipe were horrendous. Did you not think to bend a long piece with a pipe bender and cut the bent part from it? Would have been 100% clean. The corrogated looks decent but out of place.

[@BilletLabs]

Bending pipe stops the cross section being round, so the fittings would never have gone in, this is why that was never an option. Maybe I didn't explain this well enough. We feel it's important to leave in the failures as well as the successes in our videos ✌

[@johnn720]

wow! this is awazing

[@MarcusMeece]

I honestly cannot get over this

[@byronnielsen8896]

Its absolutely beautiful, top work dear lads!

[@stephenknabe6423]

Not sure if there is a reason for the routing of the coolant flow, but my personal reasoning would have wanted flow from the single rad into the double rads. This way the residual heat from the single rad would get another pass of cooling, through the rads that aren't using heat soaked air to dissipate heat.

[@humanoidbeing123]

Great work and nice build! Instead of trying to feed your solder UP into the joint, try heating the joint uniformly first and feeding in the solder from the highest point. Capillary action and gravity will pull the solder down all the way into the joint and you won't have to do as much cleanup afterwards!

[@apofiszz2193]

Сколько будет стоить изготовление такого кастома?

[@LazerDon271]

Should coat that copper so it stays bright

[@keibohow69]

will you be putting those inserts and rotary fittings on your web site for sale? Good job

[@BilletLabs]

The inserts are already for sale! Rotary fittings should be coming in the next few months. The pump top should be live in a few weeks.

[@keibohow69]

@@BilletLabs Ta i have already seen them on there what about the telescopinc fitting?

[@BilletLabs]

@@keibohow69The telescopic fitting should be released alongside the rotary fitting 👍

[@TheSgtCyrus]

so glad to see you guys uploaded

[@glynkatkin]

This is turning out awesome, always love looking at polished metals in PC builds, I have been considering doing copper tubing for the longest time, and watching you do it in such a detailed step by step process, makes me more confident that I could pull it off..anyhow, keep up the good work lads!

[@laserhawk64]

...yes. Sorry. Yes, you can. I build cyberdecks out of bits of scrap and junk. My only power tool is a pair of cordless drills, one of which I put together myself, and they go together with a motley supply of 3M double stick foam tape, dollar-store superglue gel and zipties, and salvaged laptop screws. Oh, and I don't buy cases unless I'm building a desktop for someone who insists on a machine that's criminally boring.

[@rangefreewords]

ooh, that central spine would be nice in 1/2" 6061 T6 laser cut aluminum plate...

[@spinkey4842]

for hard line piping with out a tank seal the loop but a leave a vavle for connecting a vacuum line and run the vacuum pump and connect the coolant to the system and when you open the valve the vacuum should fill the loop in seconds. kinda hard to explain over text but y'all are pretty smart and most likely get the jist of what i'm flapping on about

[@yeshyk3694]

Have you seen petricor's watercooled S4M build? I think that's what I would aim to do with the block (but perhaps with a 240 or 280mm rad, so that you aren't (as) limited as if it were a laptop) Or save space for multi GPU/pcie device setup (would need to use M2 or bifurcate though)

[@corradoiozzia8715]

Is there a video of that?

[@yeshyk3694]

@@corradoiozzia8715 no, just sff forum / reddit posts

[@gasracing5000]

Dude... very cool. Subscribed. Gotta see this when it's done.

[@TheCyberWolves]

Everything for me looks cool except the centre wooden board part seems flimsy & bending. Would suggest you to choose 5mm acrylic with laser cut that way you could save some space & use spacers that space can be used as airflow intake for the fan to get air from the sides n exhaust of to radiator makes it very breathable.

[@pishpisholololo]

so hard. perfect

[@rozzbourn3653]

how do you fight condensation on the pipes?

[@Spreadie]

I was half expecting you to drill the chassis and plug weld those bars from the inside.

[@dohnnyknudsen1464]

Loved the video, cant wait for next part !

[@mgut17]

i can allready see alot of improvments that needs to be made, firstly, you dont need the mdf connecting the 2 rads, remove that and make the 90s alot smaller or remove the tubing or the stick out from the rad and solder directly the 90s to the rad

[@CAT1990DK]

Hold kæft Det ser godt ud godt håndværk ❤

[@BALDYMANS123]

Replace MDF With 3mm aluminium sheet.

[@RoronoaZoro-fq4cw]

we like it! can't wait for the benchmarks and thermals.

[@VoidOperator]

As awesome and neat of a product the monoblock is, It's extremely niche obviously. But I think you guys could have a real winner if you were to sell those rotary fittings. I would honestly design my next build around metal tubing if I had access to those fittings

[@oKIPHx]

Like and comment for the algo. Cant wait to see the temps! This is truly the artisan level of PC building, cos lets be fair. Almost anyone can slap together an AIO and some RGB.

[@browskie]

do u have enough radiator area to keep fans below 40 DBA ?

[@ben_bennie_nie]

Personally i would feel like a mad scientist making those runs 😋 Looks neat

[@DELTA9XTC]

this build is so crazy guys! and what Im wondering since the start - how much does this "customer" (99% surely a guy) have to pay for you to build this? these are so many hours of you both, this has to cost A LOT?? like even if I say 1000 bucks for the building alone, this took a long time for two people so I would guess its quite a bit more than 1000 bucks even? can you say anything about that?

[@hassanaslam6008]

Just amazing

[@DutchHollandLowz]

I love the build, but the coolant flow should have been flipped from what you did. The hottest water should receive the hottest air, and the coolest water should receive the coolest air. So you have the largest sustained delta t possible. Otherwise, you are losing cooling efficiency. You were very concerned about so you got different radiators.

[@hunter_fish]

I really can't understand why in England but in many Northern European countries you have the bad habit of brazing copper with tin instead of using copper rods... I'll never understand it, even plumbers have this bad habitù

[@TheSaadtut]

whats with the nail polish... Ruins the video

[@DELTA9XTC]

LOL yes, its a bit weird, agreed. But ruining the video? thats a bit far man
