There's a reason I don't use water cooling. I don't trust myself enough to take care of my PC let alone build it properly. Don't worry, my PSU might not be mounted in my 10 dollar case but it works just the same.

​@@monad_tcp They don't stay non conductive for very long, they're about as effective as Distilled water. I had a fitting leak after a pretty sizable earthquake hit while I was away from home. My "non-conductive" 5 month old fluid still screwed up almost everything it touched. My rule of thumb has always been, if you need it to be low maintenance, durable and reliable. Don't use water/liquid cooling.

For non-NYCers: NYC apartments never get cold; even in the dead of winter you will be swelteringly hot unless you open all the windows. This is actually legally mandated. New York City wanted to stop the spread of Spanish Flu and their idea was to force people to keep the windows open for ventilation.

[@socius]

I can really recommend getting a temperature sensor to have inline with the watercooling loop, i have set my fan speeds dependent on water temperature. Great way to make sure your new tubes don't deform ;)

So I found your channel earlier today and have now binged nearly every video. In one day I have gone from someone with no mechanical knowledge and thought that 3d printing peaked at D&D minis, to someone who wants to control a drone feeding live video to my glasses(I wanna say monocle but i think you need more room for hardware) and controlling it with a glove.

I've been researching my first 3d printer and wow stumbled across this chan which is like a hundred lifetimes of 3d print knowledge all in one. Thanks for all the effort you put in. 3d printers aside, i've been watercooling PCs for yonkages, it is the way. Recently started flurting with Halea aquarium chillers - picked up the bottom range HC150 wow so much better than radiators my rig is like 20c water temp in a 20c ambient room with GPU and CPU sitting at 50 full load. It's a bit noisy so planning on eventually drilling holes in the wall and plumbing it into the next room for a totally silent supercooled PC.

I have been watercooling for years now. Many different iterations and builds. Have used PETG, and Acrylic, but now I am a ZMT man. I usually swap parts every 6 months or so, and breaking down a fully acrylic build takes quite awhile. I eventually got fed up with it and now I'm using ZMT tubing w/ quick disconnects.
