One thing I recommend to first timers is don't forget to eat and drink. If you're someone like me who becomes extremely focused on what they're doing (I have ADHD and literally hyperfocus on stuff like this), you can and will forget to eat or drink during the process. Last time I built a loop from start to finish, I worked for probably around 6 to 8 hours straight on it, and I forgot to eat and hydrate myself the whole time. That made me irritable, which made the build frustrating, which made my work sloppy and I had to redo some bends. Take breaks, give yourself time to eat, drink, and chill out, and it will make the whole process less stressful and easier.
Also, don't forget to breath. ;)
Agreed. It's easy to lose oneself when being passionate about something. That's why surround yourself with your loved ones as they will always pull you back to reality.
Excellent advice my guy
As someone with ADD, amen. I tend to do the same when I'm coding and overclocking.
Probably the most helpful tip considering you’re going to be working with some rather expensive parts
Jay ballin' so hard he got sponsored by Corsair and EVGA at the same time😂

Plumber here working in the new commercial construction side if things. Ive been following the transformation of watercoolong and It's crazy to me how this gets closer to actual plumbing. Nice job, Jay.
Well, it literally is plumbing....just for a computer.
@@tygonmaster sure, but when watercooling first started, it wasnt like this. Everything was w
Custom fitted. Now, the fittings are more flared and compressed. Easier to work with.
@@javiervazquez9472 Now started to see some "steampunk" build were they are actually using copper tubing
@@tygonmaster good to know I can call a plumber if something goes wrong in my liquid cooling
@@artemisftwable Bit of a linguistic fudge there. "Plumber" usually is specific to "home or industrial sanitation and utility" or something of the like, but yes, there are different kinds of plumbing. That said, maybe your plumber games. :^)
Your old guides are how i got into custom water cooling. Thanks for all the great content over the years 🙏
I just like a simple air cooled system but I love the idea of watercooling and who know it better than Jay
Only Poseidon to be sure
NH-D15 is quite competitive compared to most AIOs.
Air cooling is certainly reliable, and alittle easier on maintenance. Water cooling is more work, but looks cooler, and even if you arent pushing temps, it allows you to run your fans at lower rpm for a much quieter pc. Noise is the primary reason i WC'ed and given my GPU is still air cooled (due to no blocks available for it, its a 1060), its the Loudest part in my system, and anytime i fire up a game, its obvious the fan ramps up. So much so it bothers me.
@@lyianx So... water cooling didn’t really address the noise issue? That’s actually why I stuck to pure air only and careful tweaking of the fans + using the best fan / size / impedance style configured carefully.
I use a Noctua NHD15 chromax with 200mm + 140mm of front intake. 120mm rear exhaust because the best exhaust fans are the Noctua S12A which are 120mm only and are phenomenal, with 280mm total top exhaust fitted via a low noise adaptor. The system is like 36dba and doesn’t make noticeable transition idle to load. Even my founders 3070 uses it’s standard fans so I can only undervolt and curve the fan perfectly enough to not get loud.
But I suppose it DOES run hot. High 70s at near full load and gaming. I think that’s where water cooling would help, but I’m not fussed and water cooling doesn’t make it silent so I’m not a water person for any means
@@mspencerl87 Aquaman, don't forget Aquaman.. Also Killer Frost and Iceman.
Bitwit's tips. Do the longest run first, if you mess up you can always cut that down to size and use it elsewhere.
Addition Bitwit tip - leave off at least one GPU block plug to allow for extra cooling of the motherboard :D
@@blai5e730 Just tried that, my temps immediately dropped to 0. I believe my computer is so cold now that it doesn't even work properly.
@@shlagin9354 if that ever happens most mobos have an LN2 option to increase stability at ultra low temps.
@@blai5e730 noob here. Could you plz explain what you said in a little more depth? I am just now looking into custom liquid loops and what you said went right over my head.
I was able to understood the whole process even though I had absolutely no idea about watercooling.
This video was so informative and now makes me wanna build my custom loop lol.
Thanks Jay, you've been my reference on PC tips for years, keep it up
Thank you Jay. After around ten years of watching your videos about water cooling, I finally went ahead and did my own. Not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
Congrats bro, are their any resources you could recommend for someone who wants to study water cooling before making their first attempt at it?
„Watercooling is not hard “ yeah ur right the parts are just hard to pay for 💔😣😢
Paying is easy, robbing a bank is the hard part 😂
and don't forget Icue its easy to use but for some reason like s to crash my computer when i watch videos.
@@JoshW1ck r/cursedcomments
@@sopcannon really hoping I'm free of that issue, switched to a kraken so I could drop icue. Haven't had a lock up since then. But it's only been a week today
You know NGL, I hated ICUE a few years ago. Nothing but problems. But current day I think it's actually really good. The only problems I have anymore are with easyanticheat not liking Corsair Lighting service. But after setting all of my colors and whatnot to remain applied when the computer isn't on, I find that also keeps everything working correctly if I have to close ICUE to play certain games.
This video is GOLD. I love how you move quickly through topics. 0 reason to even skip around the video, everything is relevant.
Right? He also speaks loudly which is very engaging
Except for the sponsor
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Love this video! You can also use an air pressure gauge and pump air through the drain plug in the dry loop. If the needle doesn't move, no air leaves the loop. And if the loop is air tight, it will be water tight.
I just build this exact same system for my 3070ti thanks to this video. I'm amazed at the result. My first water build ever and it worked out great. Thanks Jay!
hows it holding up? and do you ever have to change the coolant(water) out? Or nah
I've teamed up with corsair for a beginners guide today
1 second later : thanks evga and their elite program for sponsoring this video
Mistake were made.

Corsair provided the parts (so that Jay saves money), EVGA paid for a direct advertisement (so that Jay gets money). Not all that hard to understand.

So I won the opportunity to buy an RTX 3080 in a Newegg shuffle. But I picked a water-cooled one by mistake. So I was kind of forced to upgrade my rig to water cooling. This guide was immensely helpful and with the proper planning, water cooling is surprisingly easy to do. Highly recommend!
Lol, good for you

I was saving up for a Pc until my parents surprised me with a prebuilt. They told me it was water cooled (they don’t know what that means) but when I’m looking at the pc all I see is a radiator (I think) and a tube to the motherboard. Should I be worried?
@@TV08756 Sounds like it's an AIO, which is a closed loop watercooled CPU. It looks like it's going into the motherboard, but it's actually cooling your CPU chip. Your graphics card can't be water cooled with this system.
I want to say thank you, Jay. I have been building PCs for 20+ years and PC gaming/upgrading for almost 25. I am currently building a brand new system (intel 12700K, RTX 3090 ti, etc.) fully water cooled for the very first time. Instead of hard tubing, though, I opted for soft tubing. But I priced out buying all of the components I needed versus getting the Corsair Hard Tube kit and getting the fittings and tubing and cost less that way. I added a 280 radiator as well as the included 360 and a water block for the 3090 ti. But this video was everything I could possibly need. So thanks for the work you did.
I'm glad to find this. I am building my first custom water cooling build during winter break. Great explanation, clear and concise. I feel so much more confident with my new build now. 2 years old, pssssh this was the best one i've watched so far.
I have no doubt that this video is going to reach a million views because of how water cooling is becoming more DIY friendly now.
there really hasnt been much change in the last several years. the most user friendly thing in the last few years is the quick release fittings that are more reliable (there were some before but they were less reliable than normal fittings)
@@Ashaira this isn't totally true, you can now buy a full ekwb kit with everything you need for a custom loop at a pretty low price. Basically a do it yourself AIO.
Ek starting kits & such never were avaliable in my area, so yeah!
And I am stoked!
Corsair (and EK) configurator make it even easier.
DIY yes.. .Wallet NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a word of advice, instead of just putting water in the system and moving it around to see if it leaks. Buy a cheap pressure tester for 15$ where you can put a load on it based off of psi because even though you might not see a leak now you might once the pump runs and puts pressure into the system. $15 can go a long way with water cooling.
Good advice - thanks!
That's exactly what Jay did, he ran the pump as he was filling it. You could use a pressure tester to put even more pressure in the system, but he did run the pump which did put pressure in the line.
@@metaldiceman OP is talking about an air pump to fill the loop with pressurised air to test for leaks. Not pressurised water dude.
@@TheRealUnconnected He said "pressure tester". A pressure tester is very different from an air pump. And the type of pressure tester that you buy for $15 is a simple gauge that threads onto a fitting and reads the pressure in the line. You add a pump into that which requires an electric motor and more tubing and internal components and pretty sure it goes north of $15.
Also, and this might be just me, but if I'm going to test a system for a given application, I'm going to test using the same energy transfer medium as will be used in the application.
@@metaldiceman pretty sure he is talking about the specific ekwb loop testing device which includes an air pump and gauge.
Surely you as a man of science who wants to test with the same medium realises that if it can hold air it can hold water right?
This is the BEST beginners guide to water cooling I've seen yet - thanks, Jayz. I now feel confident enough to try a water cooled build.
i can just get lost in any of jays videos, such great content 24/7 man. im looking to build my first all AMD build and this channel has so many different informational videos on literally everything in the PC world. cant wait to start cracking at it. I might also water cool my CPU instead of AIO
I've not got enough disposable income to do this, but I love watching Jay succeed doing it 🥰
For the first time in my life I do, but completing a build is ridiculous.
@@GahloWake Same, sometimes 300% mark up on GPUs makes me sad
@@JoshuaPitts Sometimes it makes you sad? Not always?
@@davidandrew7314 He does get his paycheck at least once a month after all!
Did a vetroo k2 build. Still waiting on a gpu miracle.
This will be the reference video for when I finally do a custom loop.
Don't worry. At the time we simple plebs can afford this, there will be wireless watercooling.
@@Forke13 AHAHA that made my day
This video is absolutely exceptional! Please do more custom water cooling stuff!
Thanks for your detailed shows about a subject that all computer builders have to deal with. Keep up the great work! Cooling electronic hardware challenge is here to stay.
I about had a heart attack when Jay pulled all 4 ram sticks out with one hand at the same time. Lol damn son! 😂
Though it was just me 😂
@@lilgxd8534 Facts! Stressed me out lmao
This literally why I came to the comments to see if it was just me
Lol he just grabbed a fistful of ram and pulled. but me not knowing literally anything I just thought “oh this must be normal”… I don’t think it is. I won’t be doing his little trick
@@philosopherkurdmuffins9835 I'm sure it's a trick you learn after years and years of non-stop pc building to be fair xD
Most people would be horrified by the way I live my life. Because I live in a small space, I've needed to do a lot of dangerous balancing acts trying to carry out day to day tasks and it scares people sometimes, but I never break or damage anything I touch.
Jay grabbed the ram pretty confidently and thoughtfully (carefully applied pressure and finger position) even though it didn't look like it. What's safe for him is absolutely unsafe for the average person to be fair. Danger is quite relative.
Corsair: throw together a custom watercooling loop with a little promotion please.
Jay: hold my beer.

Yep, I'll be watching a 40 minutes ad, and I'm okay with that. 😂
TBH their watercooling stuff is really decent as well. The fittings are bitspower, the pumps are DDC and D5, and come with integrated (but sadly not disassemblable) reservoirs, and the whole ecosystem has fantastic lighting integration with games has a seriously promising future, though currently the games officially supported can be counted on one hand, and 2 are basically the same game (FC5 + New Dawn, Division 2, and Metro: Exodus, which is the one I experienced, and it was incredibly immersion enhancing). I'd really love to see them add more games to that list though, I think adding lighting cues to people's PCs is one of the next steps in non-VR immersion focused games. It makes their stand alone LED bar lights (The ones that stand upright on stands) actually relevant as well, which is probably badly needed for that product lol. I added some LED strips to my build from corsair as well and they play different effects than the fans, syncing up more with the RGB blocks and reservoir from what I remember. It's definitely a really cool effect lol
noctua ufo fans? ^ ^ ?
really decent - and really expensive. bitspower for example are the most expensive fittings and arent even the best.
rads are hwlabs however, which are *really* good, coolant is mayhems. frosted pmma tubes also look really good tho, i have them in my rig as well.
Just don't try to buy anything corsair...9 semi's pulled into the studio and now Jay will be "well, I need some fan's, I wonder if the 400,000 I have here will work"....just like with the cases and cases of Lian Li fans he has...nobody can get Lian Li addressable fan's, but Jay is all "Hmmm, let me see, I only have THREE MILLION to choose from"...FML
Well I'm not. Just skipping many parts. But intelligent marketing from corsair. I love corsair keyboards and PSU's but not these custom watercooling kits. Too much money to throw at.
Watched this when it came out, rewatching to prepare for implementing my first custom loop this evening!
Good luck mate.
how did it go
@@lyx9560 swimmingly! (Pun intended lol) I picked up 4 extra fittings and ended up needing all of them lol. And the ek leak tester saved my cpu, fittings on it weren’t fully tightened. $45 is a lot less than replacing that Boi or the mobo or worse! Temps on all parts came down 30C or more when gaming! Took me all weekend tho haha
@@beaureddington4039 woah.. looks like its well worth it glad ure happy w it
@@beaureddington4039 also 30C!! freezing pc!
I've been thinking about water cooling my setup, and I think J's video convinced me to pull the trigger on the corsair setup. Great video!
I want to thanks for all those Watercooling videos - helped me building my first full water cooling build.
Alrighty, I just wanna say thanks so much for this video! I just built my first ever custom pc and decided to water cool it with hard tubing like a idiot, but your vid helped me get through it and I’m really happy with how it came out! It’s by no means perfect but it works, and it doesn’t leak, thank you guys so much!
"That's why I like these fans so much" well yeah you'd better like them, its only $400 worth of fans Jay lmao. Awesome build.
Fr lmao
That’s def. $500 worth of fans, I built my system using those QL’s love them but every penny I spent hurt
Lol yeah, I would like to see them stack up against some noctua nf-f12's or if we going for top dollar nf-a12
And then pit them against those cheap Arctic fans.
I have the in-win Saturn fans in my water cooled build and they’re amazing 78 cfm and 3.12 mm/ h2o of static pressure
It looks great, the white with the light blue very good colour scheme. Great video well put together and well explained - good job!
Absolutely beautiful, masterful build.
Pausing at 11:40 or so to say thanks to Jay for this step by step water cooling build. I've been with Jay for a long time, just wanted to chime in to tell him how much I appreciate all these years of experience and knowledge that we've all gained from this man. Thank you as well, to his staff! Alright, back to class.

Wow, that really looks incredible. It must be so satisfying building that.
Jay... THANK YOU SO MUCH for making an easy to understand guide! I'm putting my custom loop together this weekend and I definitely wouldn't have felt comfortable without this video!!
Hope it went well man :)
Have u complete?
I just completed my build based on Jayz video, so thank you Jayz! I used the Corsair case and XD5, but most everything was different. Memory is water cooled with EKWB, as is the Dark Hero/5950X (with a monoblock) and a 2070 Super. Since this was my first ever custom loop water cooled system, my design was limited to one bend per tube. Passed the leak test, and using the system to write this. I was not happy with the cables off the 1050W PC Power and Cooling protruding into the drive cage, which had to be removed. So I designed a bracket for my 3-1/2" 6TB drive that takes up two of the 2.5" SSD drive brackets, and 3D printed it. Works great. I just hope it does not overheat in the cable area.
whats the case called?
This video really helped out on understanding how water cooling works, thanks Jay.
Many thanks for this; very informative, crystal clear instructions without any fancy hi-tech jargon.
Thank you for this guide! I'm currently stating to water cool my build myself for the first time. Super glad you released this video when I was about to start! Allowed me to find the right tools and properly approach this project! Thank you Jay!

I love the references back to a vehicles cooling system. It is ridiculously similar, and you absolutely nailed it with the comments on temperature difference. Engines prefer around a 180° F running temp. Nothing like that in a PC lol
This came out at the perfect time, I needed this:)

Thank you for this video, i am going to be building a new rig soon and am considering a custom loop very similar to this set up. You answered a ton of my questions and the explanations were fantastic. Thank you very much!
Been building custom water loops for over 25 years and this was very well done. It’s so easy these days with these kits, as traditionally we had to “Jerry rig” so much of the loop. The only thing I would add is when you think you’re done and system is bled in this case with the inverted ports on the rad, turn on the pump and flip the whole box 180* to get the air out of the top of that inverted rad. Other than that it’s excellent. 👍
I would have gone *Pump-> Rad 1 ->GPU* like you did, but for the hell of it (despite the mere 2 degrees) re-cool the coolant by going *GPU -> Rad 2 -> CPU -> Pump.*
24:13 a small rotating pipe cutter could work, and it leaves a smooth surface as well.
primochill has a really neat finishing bit that you can also use to shorten the tube a little.
It is a decent amount more piping and criss-crossing work to go to the Rad 2 first but I bet you could make it look pretty slick if you get it right
Yeah all he’s doing is cooling the system with the side mount rad. The top one is exhausting hot air. What a waste of a cooling system
Hey Jay. Currently working on putting together my third build. This time I am considering a custom water loop. My first two builds were restricted by budget...and lets face it, fear of custom loops..lol. Thanks again for a great video. I have been subscribed for only a few months but I love your content. Keep up the great work!!
Hey Jay, I am pretty sure PMMA and Acrylic are the same thing.
Under-rated comment.
Edit:
Link to PMMA's Wikipedia page for those who would like it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)
It's probably a different chemical composition made to be more shatter-resistant which requires a higher temperature for melting.
PMMA is PPG that’s been polymerized by methyl methacrylate. It’s also known as acrylic. They’re all very similar.
The term "accrylic" comes from the chemical used called acrylate. PMMA is polymethyl methacrylate. It is an acrylate, so it is an accrylic. This being said, their are different ways to make acrylates, some are more rigid and resistant and some are more akin to "glass" usually because they are a glass substitute.
loved the video and you definitely brought some good info along with it. Build looks beautiful!
This is such a beautiful build
This was really helpful. I’m definitely trying this soon when they eventually make a water block for the MSI 3080ti Gaming Trio.

I love this, this is just AMAZING, I enjoyed every second of this video and it is a long video. I appreciate the guide a lot, maybe make a video of a guide on how to maintain and change the coolant inside the pump and the tubes and radiators, that can be helpful. Thanks Jayz, Keep up the good work
I appreciate this content. I'm actually doing my very first custom loop and I inadvertently found out in basically making the editing rig you made for Phill. Been watching a lot of your content to figure out if I have all the stuff I need before I get to actually tearing down my old PC and moving it into the 719 and making the loop.
It's been nearly four months, but I finally got over the fear of breaking my GPU after having had all my parts since the beginning of December and put it together. Water loop is working. Just need to finish leak testing and then put the rest of the system together. Mostly just wiring at this point, but also the HDD cages for the mass storage.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM how’d it turn out?
@@drmememachine pretty good honestly. It's still running and works well. Like I mentioned, it's basically a mirror of the one he made for Phill so you can look at that if you want an idea of the appearance.
Ive now built 3 custom water loops thanks to jayztwocents not one leak and my last 2 have been hard line thanks for the content!
Great information! Thanks for your videos!
Thanks Jay. I went from not considering water cooling to wanting to do water cooling.
Your video is clear and easy to understand. Keep up the great work.
OMG!!! A 39 minute video!!!! What did we do to deserve this?!?!?! P.S love your videos jay, they really help me relax after a tiring and stressful day!
Ha! Was literally considering doing this since it's something I've never done before and really wanted to give it shot. Glad I found this!
You're a very intriguing friend Jay! I use to watch your videos on an absurd amount in 2014 way before I had a pc. Just to learn and try to expand my brain wrinkles. I'm still learning and having a lot of fun watching along. I was about to get up to use the washroom and then the fart noise at the end was just, solid👌11/10
This tutorial is great! Would have been interesting to see some temp and FPS results. I know the video has to stop somewhere but this setup looks so potent and nice and also, it would be fantastic to know to what to expect from this kind of a setup.
Temp and fps are almost identical to air cooling, the only noticeable difference is noise level
@@Kwirts Well you could get similar noise level for increased performance but yeah most people get it because it looks cool and is quiet
@@Kwirts Not compared to stock air coolers. Apparently its supposed to be night and day difference of cooling performance between cheap air cooling and water cooling.
@@kageshinobigames3216 yeah, obviously it would be better than stock cooling...
Water cooling is mostly for looks, other then hardware is so power hungry now. So maybe it will make a diffrance when nvidia launches a 500w gpu😂
Of course you release this like 2 weeks after my first attempt at water cooling.
Feels for u man
Lol 100% same over here man ^^
How did it turn out for you tho?
@@lordofstrandhill Pretty good, all things considered. Ran into some space issues but that was more lack of planning. GPU and CPU are now icy cool, but the tubes sometimes sag and kink. I may have to recut some runs to make that stop happening, but overall, not bad.
How did yours go?
What do you mean by attempt? Did you not complete it? Do you need help with part of it?
@@PubstarHero Sounds great and very successful to me 👍🏻
It took me wayyy longer to realize than i thought coz i ran every day into another minor difficulty, but in the end it turned out to be actually pretty neat 👌🏻
THO, im actually unsure about whether 360+280 Rad space will be able to keep it cold enough in Summer, + im still waiting for fitting Custom PCB GPU Blocks to release/be in Stock, as the one i'm using right now is from Byksi and i dont really think thats the best possible solution, it just was the only one i was able to choose from, as there is only one other one from Alphacool which has 4-5 weeks delivery time and another one from ekwb that neither has a product picture nor a release date so far ^^ :/
Going to get the ekwb as soon as it will be available i guess 🤷🏻♂️
In the process of changing the Block im gonna do some other changes that i realized would be useful after my first few weeks of practical usage of the system, like adding another inline temp sensor & a aquacomputer flow sensor & maaany other minor changes 👌🏻
Great guide, I'm probably looking to do my next build watercooled since it looks pretty cool, and more clean imo
Bravo Jay! Now I know how to build all kinds of computers!
the final build is absolutely gorgeous, personally I'm not a fan of the hassles of custom watercooling, but Jayz always tempts me with his amazing builds
I know right? I've always wanted to own one but building it myself seems scary and expensive haha
@sen touji well if you've seen Jay's other videos he always has a drain port at the lowest part of the build for easy draining, one of 3 facts I know about water cooling haha
too bad the camera picked it up as greenish instead of clear icy light blue :/
if there was only a way to check footage on set ...
... like using digital recording
smh
This is just what I needed right now! Thank you
Same lol
Thanks heaps. You just answered most of my questions.
Very useful video Jay
Instead of going the paper towel route, if you have extra change to spare, buy EK's Leak Tester to check for leaks
If you have quick connection fittings though, those are not particularly air-tight, unless twisted in some way.
I second that statement. I swear by my EK Leak Tester. No water goes in until it sits for 24 hours and loses no air. Never had a water leak.
definitly gonna buy one because i dont trust myself
@@noaran be sure to rest on something while you're testing it. It's also not necessary to do it for 24h. Usually 15min-1h is enough.
10:29 scuse me while I yoink out all 4 ram sticks at once. Bonkers
Right!? 🤣
Sick loop bro. Came out sweet 👌🏻
Jay I just wanna say thanks. Despite this video being 2 years old now, I've seen these concepts in your more recent videos so I know it's still sound advice. I've been inspired to attempt my first water-cooled build and while it's ambitious, I'm a lot less afraid of doing it thanks to your guides and expertise. Hopefully once I've got it done I can send some photos and let you roast it XD
how did you do bro? im thinking of water cooling my reference 6800 with the ekwb water block and stuff
@@UTFapollomarine7409 wussed on the watercooling. Was gonna cost me $1500 extra for basically no gain since I can't overclock the 7800X3D. Just got a good AIO instead.
@@UTFapollomarine7409if not too late, dont buy EK stuff, quality is meh and overpriced af.
