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!
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.
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🤙
lol how dare you call watercooling "exotic" in 2024! wtf dude! are you as retorded as this guy? was i was a kid i made a freon cooler for my pentium3 450! you werent even born yet!
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.
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.
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.
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 complete agree! I'm now kinda afraid of drawing attention to the channel and its cool ideas until its patented 😅. I'm all for the fitting being manufactured on scale by an established company. Making inventions main stream would reduce cost and benefit the consumer. Though I firmly believe that it's crucial for the true innovators to receive recognition as well as a small percentage of every fitting sold using their design.
@@linusandersson1535 If every one patented their so called ideas progress would not be made. Keep one thing in mind. Where would these people be without the work of others. How many preople did it take to make that cpu/gpu water block? Think carefully about that. telescopic fittings already exsist. I have two of them on my pc build. How could they have made what they designed without a pc or cad software, or the exsistance of a lathe! Plus i don't think they have the money to patent theis design. You chould look at how much it cost to patent some thing. Just to keep things in purspective if they had a load manufactured i would gladly buy some.
Back in the SLI days such fittings were in use. Bykski CC-EXPJ-83-X, Barrow TSSXK-B01, Phanteks PH-MGE are some of the examples! EDIT: yes this Billet Labs fitting has an unique feature (tube concealed in the component as opposed to inside the fitting itself), but its usefulness is limited to opaque tubing, so I won't worry about EK and such "stealing" the design.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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!

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

@@bent540 oh wow do you want a medal?
Billet Labs' PC's ARE exotic and awesome because they're unique in many ways.
this comment is just embarrassing

Sock as a polishing glove is something new to me, telescopic fitting is a great idea
Fitting though, to use a sock to polish the pipe ;)
i love this
Never thought I'd have to be a plumber to be able to assemble PCs... :)
This looks great, though.

telescopic fittings already exsist

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

Wow that looks SO good, incredible work.
We have the same desktop, even in the same orientation. Also great idea love what you done. Skills!
Clear coat the copper to stop oxidation
and cushion those feet x)

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

The copper plate should have contact to the aluminium case???
i think you mean that the outer piece of the fitting is free to check the king 4:00
Now cable manage it 😈😈😈

Clear tubing but black coolant ;)

I'm pretty sure that sheer mass of bottom plate will completely negate any vibrations from relatively small and light pump impeller
Can someone please tell me, what is that paste used at the end to finish the pipes ? Thanks

Just remember not to send it to LMG for review and I'm sure everything will work out.
nice :')
I would sell some of that brass to purchase a microphone.
this is suffice lol
