Don’t give it to Linus

Hey man just a tip, you can add plumber's silicone/faucet grease onto the O rings to lubricate them and extend their life. That may also help them slide easier on the telescopic fitting.

excited for the next vid. keep coming back to look for a new one

and holy the end, polished aluminium, copper, leather. man this would look FCKING SICK

Would be fun to see that a Ryzen 9 7950x would probably be equally fast all around, while using less power. Especially now, after word is out, that when you run your Intel CPUs at "spec" (at the new Intel spec, they've pushed out recently after their high-end CPUs started to basically snuff themselves out over time bc they suck wattage like nothing else and die or at the very least severely inhibit their performance, likely damage themselves, in the process. Motherboard companies made those crazy setups the base settings, Intel knew that and welcomed it bc it gave them the few % to be the fastest in some tests; wasn't enough for every test, not in the slightest), you can lose like 10% performance compared to the usual benchmark results, so the usual benchmark results that get compared to AMD CPUs. looking forward to the new benchmarks where Intel CPUs run at the speed and wattage they should - which is quite a bit slower and less than they were -, without the obvious risk degrading them over an extremely short amount of time.

The work is really cool guys. I would much appreciate if your editor could use some sort of lens correction on your footage; this step might add some rendering time, but it would better showcase your precise machining. In short, everything looks like its bent haha. Keep up the good work!. Alternatively, instead of using a wide angle lens, if you have the room you could just back the camera up and use a narrower lens.

Be careful of flakes inside the copper tubes after soldering, we usually use nitrogen to avoid it. Im assuming you’ll flush it in one way or another but it can be quite detrimental. Anyhow, looks sick and I’m looking forward to seeing the next update🤙

Are you guys making the fittings in-house, or is that something you are having a machine shop put together for you? I would love to make some oring fittings for 1/2" copper pipe. I discovered I can use 16mm barrowch hard tube fittings with off the shelf plumbing pipe, but I also hate how big they are and all the paint and coatings are kind of a hazard, as I discovered when cleaning my loop.

The copper plate should have contact to the aluminium case???

Amazing workmanship. I am glad to see you guys still pushing strong. I unsubscribed from Linus Tech Tips after watching the terrible treatment of your work and efforts. Being an engineer and crafter, I appreciated the level of quality being put into this.

Among the most beautiful things that it is possible to see today in the field of custom PC cooling. The niche of the niche. Compliments! May Fortune assist you!

i think you mean that the outer piece of the fitting is free to check the king 4:00

oh maaaan please it hurts seeing you drag and turn this beautiful and heavy piece of metal across and deep into the very nice wood surface. ...for the love of our planet, maaaaan, please use some cushioning material. o/ anyway, thanks for the content :)

so you have 335 watts worth of rad to cool 750 watts of electronics ... what could go wrong?

it looks super cool I bet its even cooler. What kind of temps did we see? Now I have an excuse to go to home depot

Why do you have painted nails? Are you a girl?

Hello there, I work as a design engineer in the plumbing and heating industry in the UK - I have also built a custom PC in 15mm copper tube in the past so I feel compelled to give you some advice. You'll have to forgive me! 1. On the fittings - would it not be practical here to just use a 1/4" BSP M to 15mm compression adapter (BES PN 17631 as an example). Compression fittings provide both rotational and a degree of axial freedom during installation. These would be bulkier than your current solution but no doubt cheaper. 2. When using end feed fittings for a low pressure application like this, it is sufficient to epoxy the fittings together rather than solder them. This is generally easier to clean up and allows you to fine tune the assembly's fit in situ while it sets up. 3. If you are thinking of productionising this process, I would generally recommend M or B press fittings over end feed. This is because your leak risk on press fit is essentially zero - it also requires much less clean up and is substantially faster. This would also enable you to offer stainless pipework instead of copper if you so wished. 4. If you are not doing so already, wiping down your soldered pipes with flux while they are still hot does an excellent job of cleaning them. 5. If you are dead set on soldered joints, solder ring fittings may be a better option for reducing your clean up time as you wont end up with so much excess. Keep up the great work and hope the design turns out well!

I would sell some of that brass to purchase a microphone.

i love this

Great job, I would: Add a water flow meter where you could just take a quick glance and see that it's working propely A temperature sensor inside and near the transparent tube so you could just watch the temperature inside the case. 2x fans, one with a dust filter blowing air inside the case and the other one just blowing air out so you can reduce the VRAM and motherboard temps.

Just remember not to send it to LMG for review and I'm sure everything will work out.

Clear coat the copper to stop oxidation

Any Bends close to each other may need a bumper or rubber spacer so rubbing through doesnt become an issue at some point if the copper ever touches each other during use. Looks good though.

oh wow nice, you definitely need to patent those fittings, optimum would be so happy to see them. i had always imagined a sandwich cooling style like this. this couldnt have done any better, subbed.

Now cable manage it 😈😈😈

We have the same desktop, even in the same orientation. Also great idea love what you done. Skills!

Can someone please tell me, what is that paste used at the end to finish the pipes ? Thanks

Wow that looks SO good, incredible work.

Never thought I'd have to be a plumber to be able to assemble PCs... :) This looks great, though.

lol stupid products for a stupid case made by someone disgusting!

When I finally build my dream water system I'm going to use shark bites/Copper lines, I love the look, they're serviceable and there's flex so you don't have to worry so much about your solder work being off. I think the sharkbites would look really neat in a Steampunk style PC, which is what I kinda want to go for with my next rig. Nice work on the torch work, I've did a lot of plumbing when I used to remodel- always hated soldering water lines! We did some majorly complex joints in some duplexes that share the waterline, those were nightmare jobs- I almost wish we'd put a little window so you could see how neat some of our solutions were, it's very similar to this! Looks really nice- I love the style!

Did you sue LTT yet for screwing you over?

Clear tubing but black coolant ;)

I’d buy these copper fittings, it’d fit my aesthetic

Ok I finished watching now. Flip this looks so awesome, the industrial look and feel of this is incredible, really am very keen to see the final finished product.

I can see EKWB and a bunch of other pc water cooling companies stealing the idea of your telescopic fitting and charging through the roof for it. I would patent that idea ASAP!

I am a bit worried about the transfer of vibrations from the Pump into the case. Depending on the frequency the large top plate could act as an amplifier since it is a large surface that is only fixed at the corners (and the case is otherwise very stiff which transfers vibrations well). I had a similar occurrence with a case I built a while ago. For my water-cooled build I suspended the pump with tensioned O-rings to have it free swinging. That is not an option here due to space constraint, but a pump bracket with vibration dampening geometry and printed from TPU (rubber) could work in such a small case.

Sock as a polishing glove is something new to me, telescopic fitting is a great idea

Bro you do the most wildest pc exotic ones remember me when you get famous

stunning work

waiting for <5L S4M-esque build that competes with petricor's 7950X3D+4090 build

sickkK!

This project being look like a dodge charger

It begs the question whether the consumer asked for a specific case model for it to have about 95% of it removed and replaced with custom mods of questionable effectiveness and looks. I hope the customer was asked about each and every modification before it was done, because a lot of the "improvements" performed on the case make it impractical for a person who's gonna travel a lot carrying said PC around. And while that custom grill serves well for your purposes, it will make sure a lot of things can enter the case and potentially damage components inside, but I guess the mesh stamp from the factory which served that purpose was not good enough.

the polished finish looks great on that case. i think putting the "grill" on the inside is easier to look cleaner, and way less time consuming. putting them on the outside looks cool too, but i think you really need to nail the mounting AND make sure the contours are identical.

Are you all going to finish the project with Metal Spine? as it can be thinner and stronger than the wood.

You're definitely going to have to be careful when welding and go very slowly with one bar at a time to prevent the heat warping the material.

Very cool project. Once it is done it would be cool to see a similar one in an ATX size as well. Subscribed.

Just get a custom made fan grill and drill a holes to screw it in to the case, for better results looks and easier access to clean the fans or rads, in my opinion overall everything looks great good luck.

Love this build! amazing project guys! 👏👏
