Yeah, that would be amazing. Sometimes it's really hard to track tubing system in his builds. And it's pretty interesting to know how he comes up with these ideas in the first place.
I alwasy enjoy and appreciate this guy's creativity, imagination, and also considering all the details to ensure every parts will go along well together to get an awesome build
The paint tutorial is fire!! Cheers for that!! Hope the move to Cali has worked out well. Lived there for a bit and enjoyed the people and weather. So positive!
You can install the 360 rads with 3 fans by removing the backs panels first then it will slide in from the back to front of the case with the distribution plate installed
I jumped for joy when I saw this was 35 minutes long :D Really loving these in depth looks, and the tips and tricks. I've been rocking the original O11D in white for a while now and I'd never reallised what an absolute pain in the arse it is to match white with white :o It's like every manufacturer has their own idea of what white should be. Thankfully, I'd already decided on a black and white theme, but even that's turned into black-and-white-and-kinda-white-and-grey.
Video on motherboard painting would be nice... I REALLY want to do this for next build. Love the detail and everything you go into. It's much appreciated. Subbed.
i like the matching decal you made for the UNI fans, its so funny how everyone complains about the back of the fans and lian li sends a sticker decal with the fans to cover the back of them lol
My build, heavily inspired by this one, is almost done! Just waiting for the tubing and one or two things to arrive... Tried to minimise the amount of painting by finding factory white components, like the white Corsair XR5 360 radiator. For the fan stickers, I found this guy on eBay who sells brushed aluminium effect Corsair fan logos. Using a mATX board, so no need to create a custom plate. I spent so many hours trying to do the white o-rings for the distro plate. I'm almost certain it's impossible, even perfectly glued together using Loctite 406, there's extremely tiny gaps where water leaks out. The worst part is once you notice this leak, you have to take off 40+ screws. Putting out a bounty for white o-rings that don't leak, $50 for anyone who's able to do it! I found trying to replicate the exact blue (extremely saturated) to be really, really hard. Instead of the EK Cloud White premix, I bought the 1L one and added half a bottle of EK's blue dye and it's still not as bright! I'm worried adding more blue will make the water dark. First time spray painting, luckily I have a respirator! For whatever reason the white spray paint I'm using (Rustoleum Matt White) takes forever to dry. It's still a bit sticky to the touch after a day. This is with what seems like a decent self etching primer. Found out that putting it into the oven at something like 100C for 4-5 mins seems to help a ton. What probably doesn't help a ton is that I'm in the UK with crappy weather.
Hey Loshan, did you already succeed in doing the white o-rings? Maybe you didn't tighten them with exactly the same torque? Did you also replace the screws?
one year later...I managed to get the white o-rings on the distro to work but like you said it was a pain. A few lessons I learnt: - Use a craft knife or similar to cut the silicone rather than scissors so that each end of the cord is as flat as possible - I used super glue to bond the ends, holding for 2 minutes while it bonded, like in the video - Make sure the o ring is a mm or 2 over sized so the join in the cord is compressed slightly rather than under tension - Apply a small thread of loctite 595 at the bottom of trench where the o-ring sits the whole way around. You can't see this once it's compressed and dried. Apply this just before adding the o ring and putting cover back on (i.e. wet when you screw back together). I found i needed to do this to get the o rings to stay in place otherwise they would pop out before I got the cover plate back on. I used this 2mm cord from Polymax - www.polymax.co.uk/rubber-cords/white-silicone-cord-2-0mm-diameter - Also add loctite 595 all the way around the bond where the superglue is (i.e. around the circumference of the cord/bond), this will seal any small holes in the joint once compressed. Again do this just before you screw back together I did this on the distro block, gpu and cpu cover and no leaks. Left 24hrs to leak test and no drop in pressure. Has been running for a week with coolant with no issues so far, will update if this changes.
Amazing vid going through the build! The only thing missing is info on what size extensions etc. to make sure it’s level with the ports on the Distroplate. Info I had to talk to WK support to figure out. 🙄 I don’t needa timelapse, which is all that comes up when searching on this distroplate (and many other things), I need detail. And this is it! Looking forward to receiving mine next week. Although I def won’t be doing anything crazy like this 😅😂
Love these videos man ! So educational and inspiring ! Im Just wondering if you could do a video about some advice on people who just starting out like me like what goes into your planning on a build and how can you find some decent parts and not too expensive. Sorry if this sounds like something some one already request . Thanks man and always love watching your video 🙏
Hah! I frosted acrylic tubing in last weekends build and NOW I see this 😅 GPU died, so maybe I’ll re-do them with sanding pads. Never occurred to me to do it before doing the bends.
Thanks for the explanation video. I just picked up this case and will be ordering the PC hopefully tomorrow. Going with a 5800x. It's really hard to find a mATX motherboard that I like that has all the analogue surround sound ports.
This is one of the best builds I've seen up to date! Some aspects of this have been used as inspiration on the build I'm currently working on. There is just one thing I cannot understand, what are the bottom and top extenders that are used used below the angled fittings? Looks like the top has the EK-Quantum Torque 14mm extenders and the bottom could be the 7mm ones but how have they been lifted up to different heights? I assume the extenders used on the GPU block are just the 7mm ones but for the rads?
@@Srv02 Hey, I did yeah. I'm using the 14mm extenders (using EK Torgue lineup for all fittings and EK radiators with Lian Li AL unifans). This way the tube will perfectly clear the fans. :)
@@deevirus Thanks my man! I also got my parts today and they fit perfectly. Looks like GGF had some other revision of the radiators, as mine lined up perfectly with just the 14mm extensions.
HI, what EKWB EK-Quantum Torque Extender Static MF you use on down and up radiators to fit right line and is some different connections can be done on GPU to distro? THX
Plan to build with this same distro plate and radiator placement. what size spacers/fittings are needed to get that perfect straight tubes from distro plate to radiator in/out?
I tried to sand the PETG tube with a fine grit but my tubes revealed some tiny roller trenches along the tube, about 30microns deep, every 2-3 mm. These trenches refused to go away. So bear in mind that XSPC tubes must be either sanded harder, with some 180 grit (maybe?) or left clear.
@GGF Events i'm planning on making the same type of motherboad plate as what you have done with 1mm thick Aluminium sheet. Question, does the rear motherboard armour get in the way? is it a tight squeeze.. or did you remove the armour altogether and install the mb bare? My motherboard is the Crosshair Impact
I have a clear distroplate and i want to have the frosted finish like you did on the tubes..i could you the same method for my distro? The distroplate has a argb stip on the side; do you think with this frost finish the distro its going to be brighter? Because this would be my porpouse..thanks!
Do you think it's possible to mount the GPU vertically using the Lian Li o11 mini vertical mount, without having to change the fans or radiators? Do you think there would be enough clearance to do this without changing the tubing too?
@@GGFEvents That is incredibly nice of you! Thank you! (Also a great chance to say how awesome your work is! I aspire to one day build a pc like the ones you showcase!)
more vidoes like these behind the scenes, GGF sharing his secrets ;D
Completely agree. Would love to see more of these tutorials.
Yep that's the plan :)
Indeed - more painting tutorials please!

The generosity displayed here is mind boggling. Thank you for sharing your techniques. It gives me the confidence to experiment.
This is amazing, so much attention to detail. I am gona steal your idea.
No problem. Haha
Gotta love when manufacturers are listening to customers which turns into higher sales of course

would this work with an atx motherboard?
@@arian_s_collection Yes!
Amazing work Indeed. I love your art and patience to make everything so good looking. Deserve more subs for your work.
Appreciate it :)
Awesome job, people do not realize the time, planning and effort it takes to do all the mods, nor do they notice them. cheers.

Video was fantastic! I hope to see more of these videos about more of your over the top builds. Keep it up man!
What is the benefit of a custom motherboard tray? Is it to hide cables? Why not just install the motherboard directly in to the chassis?
Nice work

Great builds. The clarity of the swallowing pisses me off to the point that I almost threw my phone, but besides that, amazing work
Classy as always.
Thank you
Thank you so much for doing this video and explaining every step thoroughly to achieve a build like this! 011 Mini Snow White case on order ;)
Totally woulda made the only tubes in the build to the gpu. by swapping the radiators around and adding a back fan to the case.
I would like to paint the black borders on my case. Any chance you could do a tutorial on how to paint glass. This looks awesome
perfect！！ i love it ！！u r god of PC DIY

I want to paint my fitting in white; but my fittings are chrome. How could i do it? I should use the same process like you? Thanks
would an matx Mainboard work with that radiator configuration?
The silicone gasket is mm thick
How about painting the motherboard heatsinks?

Shame that I'm too far away to get one of your build 😢😢
is there a PCB for the drive cage?
what wallpaper did you use in the background?
Do you have to have a micro or mini Mobo or will it work with an ATX (lines remaining level and parallel)?
Can't fit top rad with ATX mobo
@@GGFEvents someone makes a plate to offset the top radiator.
is that a custom bracket for the ssd to fan mount?
What 3080 is it
Do you think it's possible to mount the GPU vertically using the Lian Li o11 mini vertical mount, without having to change the fans or radiators? Do you think there would be enough clearance to do this without changing the tubing too?
Unfortunately only fans will fit on the bottom with vertical mount.
Are your ST120 fans also a bit noisy... My ones have something like whine. It makes me very upset. I think i got just shit ones
011 ТОП !!!!!!!!! TOP !!!!!!!!!
How loud do you find the ST120s? I put 6 in mine and it's loud on its lowest rpm, let alone max RPM 😅
Actually can't hear them at low rpm
@@GGFEvents that's crazy! LianLi said that the noise was expected to be high with 6 fans :/ Have you ever tried measuring it?
Yes I have a reader and will give it a go

Very soon. Stay tuned.
Too bad the distro plate costs like 400 bucks. I don't understand how EK can charge that much. /smh
Is it just me or does the white paint look pinkish.
Lol I see it now that you mention it, it’s the fans
Do a build with a Threadripper in an O11D mini
I've been very tempted
33:06 nice swallow
can i send on PETG tube?
Yes.
Yes

Great Sno Build... Next: CHROME - not the O/S - the Metal... 100% Chrome mirror finish...
Thanks!
thats computer porn for sure! great build and get ideas to buid my own o11 mini. :) btw those frozted tubes looks amaizing!
Thank you
them fans are well over priced bad cfm and only cost 1.75USD to make each
Why are all these tech guy's putting Intel in their rigs? Why do they resist so hard?
How do you paint your motherboard. You should at least show us noobs how to do it
Lmao they r magnets, ur not gonna get white magnets 😂
