Custom Water Cooling doesn't have to be scary, but it is intimidating just like anything else in life that you're unfamiliar with. Here we go through some of the basics needed to begin your journey into Custom Water Cooling and building the PC of your dreams. Research, understanding, and then planning are the proper steps to building a water-cooled PC.
Here are some of the parts that I went over in this video:

What do you like most about building a PC? Have you ever wanted to try custom water cooling? Let me know!
Love the videos keep inspiring and teaching those new to the pc world youre doing great!
I would love to do custom water cooling, but my 240mm AIO is doing alright by itself. What I like most about building a PC is using it!! Nothing makes me happier than seeing my hard work pay off.
@@Vash1508 my next build im gonna custom loop currently have a 360mm aio n it keeps my i7 9700 at 46c or below under 100% load while listening to youtube downloading a game running a torrent and playing a game 100% load on all cores and the highest temp its ever seen was 52c
It's a never-ending journey. As soon as I sit back and think I've finally got my build "completed", I'm already thinking ahead to what I could try for the next revision.
Right now I'm waiting to try and mount my Protium reservoir using two EK male-male extenders screwed into pass-through fittings. I saw Singularity Computers do something similar using Bitspower D-Plug fittings on one of their client build vlogs. Not sure how much better the fittings alone can support the weight of a 150mm D5 tube reservoir + coolant, compared to a conventional 120mm or 140mm bracket mount but we'll see soon enough.
Really helpful video! I've used soft tubing before, but don't know anything about working with hard tubing. Will definitely be rewatching this if I ever attempt a hard tubing build
Great job explaining the fittings and general basics.
Custom water cooling is like an aquarium for nerds. I love it. It’s so satisfying to see and also maximizes performance. I’ve always wanted to try it but never committed to buying the parts and tools to do it right
Did my first custom water cooling last year and it was great. Wish you had this video when I was doing it….very helpful and good info as usual. Thanks
Really liked your video, I'm just getting started in custom loops and you explained everything in detail with no fluff. Thanks for putting out these types of videos. I am a subscriber now & plan to check out your others. Thanks again.
Great video, thanks for taking the time out of your day to create this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow your videos are fantastic. Informative and wholesome. Keep it up!
Doing my first custom-- not closed system-- water cooled build and this video was immensely informative. Thank you :D
These are definitely going to come in handy once I start my water cooling journey.
One day I will do a water cooler PC. But out of all your videos this one I understood some of it when talking about the dissimilar metals. Thank you for always posting such great content!
First time watch one of your CZcams videos. Really like the content and the attention to detail.
🙏🙏🙏🎉
awesome video, really really helped me plan. Thank you.
Awesome content.
I wish you the best mate you do not have the subscribers you deserve.
That open setup looks sick!
learned alot! thanks for all the great info.
My pleasure!
great tips!! l been researching heavily past 5 months for my 4090 fe custom loop as soon as it comes in stock. u should do another video about things to add to the loop to make life easier. flow indicator scaler, drain valve, quick disconnect kits, temperature display, add magnetic led strips to add to the theme ect. maybe talk about best water cooling brands and best liquids to use and how to sync a-rgb/rgb lights with different devices . im personally gonna use:
-corsair satin tubing with ek fittings.
-corsair or ek radiators
-ek mystic fog cooling
-ek water block for gpu and mono block
-ek d5 pump reservoir combo or simple flat reservoir/pump combo.
Dr. Blitz , have you considered Optimus PC Hard Line Compression Fittings. They claim to be beefier, having more threads than others. Less likely to fall out. Don't know if that claim is true, or not
Water cooling crazy always wanted to try but always seemed super complicated this video makes me want to give it a try 🤟🏼💯
You can do it!
Nice video, very nice and informative
Water cooling tech is Def intimidating to get into if it's a first time.
I’ve never water cooled a PC, but hard line water cooling is my dream to be honest.
the tiktok story brought me here, been waiting for the completed vid! but this is probably the best walk through guide ive watched. good camera angle showing of o rings was great soft vs hard tubing. 10/10 thx DaPoets.
🙏
I’m definitely going to be saving this video if I ever get the money to do water cooling.
What i like most is like for example when I built my first pc I struggled for an hour straight trying to put the io shield in, I like the struggle during the process because it just makes that first boot the most satisfying. I haven't thought about water cooling yet it looks interesting tho but my newbie pc building self with stick to the basics for now
I was wondering if you could do a video of some crazy rigid tubing water connections combos, just not the usual ones 90 deg elbow here and there. like EKWB has some crazy looking 45's and rotaries. just a hint to do something unusual. working on one right now. 45 deg angle with two 45 deg elbows . I rather work with fittings then bending tubes, I think that looks tacky.
I always love the look of custom but just have not had the time to do it on my own. This is why I go with the AIO but I can dream 😀. Honestly why I was hoping to win the 360 AIO you were giving away. Congrats to ALL October Winning peep's good luck for November. Keep up the great content.
I've been water cooling my personal pc and our family pc for the past 2 years.
I've tried petg but ending up with a leak and I also want to try acrylic but I can't resist the beauty of thick black tubes, so I end up with epdm+barb and clamps, no leaks even in one year use
So crazy to see your growth since 2020! Remember when I first followed you, you were draining out Big Blues water! 🎉
Or was it deep blue. Hmmm been a while lol
Deep Blue 😎🙏
havent even watched it but still gets a like
Havent had the chance to build a watercooled PC yet, but soon maybe
ay love the name of the bench setup
I am working on my 3rd water cooled build.... I literally have on clue what I am going to use it for but when I see a case and a pump /res i like I cant help myself. I tried hard tubing and i just like the ek zmt tubing better especially w/ the old ek fittings rather than the torque. I find the torque fitting to be a real pain to tighten.
Yeah custom water cooling can really catch you :-)
Oh cool, I noticed that black Optimus box. You like high-quality stuff, like me. I just learned about below-ambient temperatures, for water cooling today. I hope that your experiment works-ou5, and you can use tht 6Ghz processor. But yeah, you are giving a lot of good knowledge and wisdom, in this video. You talk like you are an instructor. Excellent video, thanks 👍🏻🔥
And, oh yeah, I definitely want to try my hand at an open-loop. Curious, I am a little-bit past half-way through the video, have you ever tried Optimus fittings. They claim that theres has the most threads; therefore, they are the least-likely, to fall out. Did you get that sense from them, if you tried them
Yes Optimus is one of my partner companies and they have sent me pumps, blocks and fittings. All good quality, just very slow production times due to their smaller size compared to EK. Their fittings are good but having more threads doesn't mean much when it comes to issues.
@@DaPoets , interesting, I like your objectivity. It's refreshing. Yeah, at this point; I guess that it just comes down to personal preference. I like the idea of dual-redundancy, for those O-rings. But, then again, gotta stay objective. Hmm, lol, they are all pretty good, imo. Thanks ( :
i've never messed with water cooling my whole pc because i'm to scared to have water in my pc and i wouldn't want to mess with but i hope to one day have a beast of a gaming pc like this
Just take your time and research a lot :-)
@@DaPoets it just cost so must
My name is Robert and i am new into watercooling.
I study a lot about that, but i have a question. I intend to mount on top on my pc case 2 radiators of 360mm and mount 3 noctua fans in between them. But i dont find a way to screw fans on both radiators. Can you help please ?
TY
Always wanted to try water cooling just too expensive though
Yes it gets up there
21:27 I don't necessarily think its the Learning Curve of the parts what scares people.
I think its the fact that from a very youngh age were taught to keep Electronics as far away possible from Water.
So its just Counter-Intuitive to consider bringing the element of Water inside your computer case so close to all that expensive hardware. And that is where the next fear of leaking comes in.
That is why people usually first start with an AIO cpu watercooler, and ones they experienced that is save. they might consider custom waterlooping on their next build.
The fluid is non-conductive so even if it sprays all over the components they are perfectly fine.
@DaPoets ok but what about Arctic Liquid Freezer ii 360 with copper base and aluminium radiator. Very good AiO and they just don't care about corrosion? Or maybe have copper pipes but aluminum radiator? Please explain me this before I start ordering parts :) cheers!
I've done plenty videos on that AIO and it's one of my top picks
Yeah @@DaPoets but I asking about corrosion. There is aluminium and copper right?
@@talessin AIO won't have that issue as they use a specific formula
@@DaPoets formula for liquid?
GiveWay
pls if i may ask ,
-does routing my fluid from the GPU block to the Cpu Block to the Radiator and to the pump and to the GPU block okay ?
- can i have more than one pump in a build ,that is CPU block with mini tank and pump and also a radiator combo with pump and tank and then a distro plate with tank and pump ?.
pls help answer needed , thanks
Loop order doesn't make a difference. Multiple pumps are fine if you're looking for redundancy but one D5 pump is Way more than enough.
@@DaPoets thanks alot for the answer and also i must thank u for teaching me something new today , that is copper and aluminum , not going together , i was ordering parts from aliexpress and had to stop and check it again for this mixture , thanks for the info ,
Love the video was very infromational but im going to stick to 2my 12 fans XD
Can u do a tiktok or yt video on the best 240hz 1440 or higher? Ive seen a lot of monitors with bad coloring but dont wanna throw n extra 300$ for the samsung name
Check out HP OMEN as they make some of my favorite monitors
I've seen water coolers explode and pour all over the system, how common is that? I live in a pretty poor country so I'm scared to attempt water cooling, though my CPU is a i9 12900k and runs pretty warm even with the expensive air cooler I purchased. (Your disabling E-Cores tip helped me a bunch, by the way!)
That's extremely rare and you only hear about it because it's fun to post when it does happen. Air coolers will struggle w/ a 12900K but an average AIO will do just fine.
@@DaPoets MSI MAG Coreliquid P240 , is this sufficient ?
@@ElizaWebbg Depends on how you use your PC. if you're doing heavy long workloads that press the 12900K to full load then no you'll probably get thermal throttling. If you're doing simple gaming you'll be fine.
@@DaPoets It was tough for a butterfingers like me to assemble, but thank you for easing my mind on the waterflow! 😹
What about soft tubing? Do you not recommend them?
Soft tubing is great for easily upgrading and doing maintenance to your PC. It's my primary tubing. Specifically ZMT
Idiot here; Do you take any special cares when choosing your fittings? I'm building a custom loop and I'm going with copper radiators, but I'm wondering even with specific liquids that would prevent galvanic corrosion, most fittings seem to be brass/aluminium? Would that make a big deal or not really?
Most fittings are nickel plated copper. You actually have to work hard to find aluminum fittings these days. Just keep the metals the same and you will be fine, especially if you are using a name brand manufacturer.
@@DaPoets Thanks!
this is beyond my imagination what I can have as a computer😐
Dream bigger 😎
@@DaPoets i like to... but i can't 💔
