An ethylene glycol based coolant (like automotive antifreeze but less additives) is also an option and is what you'd typically see in an AIO or a commerically available coolant solution. Somewhere between 25-75% concentration entirely inhibits the growth of microorganisms with no other additives
For the first time pc builders, it would be smart to go the air route for now, and eventually change it to liquid cooling. I find myself uncomfortable putting liquid in an electric device
The point was that liquid cooling isn’t something you can just slap onto your PC, and it should be researched heavily before buying. It’s not suitable for a simple question.
there's water cooling then there's specially made coolant. it HIGHLY depends on your computers systems/set up water is a wonderful coolant, but you have to be diligent/careful about water changes and the impurities in the water as those impurities cause electrical shortages. you also gotta be careful about its corrosiveness, depending on the water you use, it can damage your cooling setup/leak. specially made coolants COULD be found online, but if your pc isnt setup specifically for it, you cant use it. its a lot more complicated than that, but id rather not yap more than i have to

When it comes to water cooling, that's 100% the best advice by far. Water cooling is the PC equivalent of drag racing: it'll be expensive, it's guaranteed to destroy your machine, and you will never see any benefits outside of better benchmark scores. The one and only reason you do it is because you like seeing the number go up and you're willing to buy a lot of upgrades and kill several machines to that end.
Custom loops are for high end hardware, or if you enjoy the process of making the loop. A CHEAP loop is $250 minimum, and on low to mid hardware, there is no performance benefit (since you are more power limited than temp limited). If you want to watercool, not just an AIO, its not terribly difficult, but there are things you need to research for compatibility and reduce corrosion/growth in the loop. I recommend always using a distilled water coolant, with either biocide, or anti-freeze mix depending on your hardware. Anti-freeze mix would be for mixed metal loops, and will slow corrosion (in general you should try to avoid mixed metals in the loop as much as possible). Before building the loop, you want to wash everything out, especially radiators, since flux residue will be inside of them. First wash with tap/vinegar mix, then distilled once it is clean coming out of the rad. Dont use colored/opaque coolant mixes. No matter how good they claim to be, they ALWAYS have issues. With a good distilled coolant mix, your loop can run as long as an AIO can without needing maintenance, although most should get torn down and cleaned each time that a part is changed. But, recommendations like this (just dont do it) is why watercooling is becoming more boutique and expensive, since mainstream users are being scared away from it when its really not as difficult as its made out to be. In the early days, it was much harder to source parts, and you almost needed to shoehorn things together to get a loop going. Now its almost plug and play for more simple loops.

This is exactly how I went with my i7. With the default air cooler I couldn't even finish running a stress test, when the CPU ramped up to 100% the test would shut down in seconds because the temp would skyrocket past it's threshold. Threw in a Corsair AIO and it'll barely squeak past 70 degrees now even during stress testing. It's easy to install, zero hassle, and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

I like to keep my components under 60 degrees, so I’m making a full custom loop, 2 360mm 47mm radiators, Corsair af120’s water block on cpu and gpu, the full kit.
Liquid cooling is a general term for two different types: custom liquid cooling and AIO liquid cooling. Note: there is air cooling which if you get the right air cooler for your CPU will work just as well if not better than some AIO’s
I am planning to do a new build with 13900 or 14900. I planned to use an AIO, though I do love how custom loops look. Some of the aio get up to $2-300.00+ I'm mechanically inclined, so I am sure I could do a custom loop...though most of what I've read says it's not generally beneficial enough to justify the extra expenses
My man completely forgot about the not so long ago AMD days. I was rocking an fx8370 and no air cooler could touch that thing. I upgraded in 2019 to a 3700x and was stoked that I could use the dingus air cooler on it. It may have helped it was half the tdp of the fx series but damn was it glorious.
I still use Air cooler(Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5) for my i7-14700K build and its average temp is 40-50°C (30-35° C ambient temp). During stress test it goes 100°C, but these chips are made to go hot.
the i7 is perfectly air coolable with a well ventilated setup and a decent cooler. maybe overclocking would put it over but that's not necessary even for high end gaming.
I would do Freon cooling for the hottest running CPU’s and make sure that the hoses are temperature and pressure rated using a pump and radiator with variable speed fans on the radiator
For inexperienced people aio are perfectly fine if you really want the water cooling for your cpu. But liquid cooling is great but can take time and is pretty expensive for a custom build. You plan it carefully and build it good you have a nice system that will perform well. Just be prepared for the amount of time you'll need to put into it and always make shure of your measurements.
For people who often need to replace hardware and don't want to customize the power cables at all, hard tube water cooling makes no sense to me because it is almost just for aesthetic, and the impact on temperature is not a big of a deal. Once you need to perform hardware maintenance (clean the dust or swap a GPU etc.), the process of draining and re-filling it's just painful.
Also, the hardest part is the maintenance of a water cooling system. So for anybody out there wondering if they should to smth like this, don't, trust me.
I love my air coolers. Mine is gigantic compared to what it needs to cool but it makes it boost higher than advertised which makes me happy in a way. Imagine cooling a 5600x with a 1.5kg copper worth of cooling lmao
My aio cooler was corroded after 6 months of use. I refilled it 80/20 blue antifreeze and destilated water and it works amazing since, but getting all the air out is a bit tricky.
Ultra high end air cooling is actually better (but much less space efficient) than water cooling. liquid/water cooling is just more visually appealing unless you like the look of massive heat sinks.
For Ryzen 5000+ users with old stock coolers like a Wraith Spire or Prism, if your CPU gets too hot you can look into the PBO2 Curve Optimizer. Most motherboards should have an option in BIOS, but if yours doesn't there is also a third-party utility that allows you to tune it. Set a negative offset starting at -5, run a few Cinebench tests for stability, then change by -5 and repeat until you reach instability, then go back to the last good setting and start incrementing by -1, at a max of -30. As a result, my 5700X3D runs cooler than my 3600 did on a Wraith Prism, and honestly with those adjustments I think a Wraith Stealth could handle it, albeit with an aggressive fan curve.
For the people who got triggered - u should watch the video, its the very basic level question ( he mentioned it ) and if the user doesn't know the basics then the chances are he will ruin his setup ( also the liquid setups and loops are not cheap so advice on such things without mentioning the parts and everything is not a good idea - what if they make a rookie mistake and liquid leaks and mess up the setup - who do you think they are going to point fingers at) and then the blame game type of shit in short if u r at basic step just don't go pro with a jump. andddd this is not something which can be explained in 30 sec tik tok or reel or something lyk that.
The problem with AIOs is that after 2 to 4 years, most of the water will have evaporated, and you'll need to replace it. You get liquid coolers to take the excess weight off the mobo and get better cooling. The best option would be to make a custom water loop or a custom AIO; either of them with filling and draining ports. I don't understand why these ports aren't standard on all AIOs over $100 but whatever.
I don't know what fluid to use on my first time with a PC so I may or may not have put in motor oil yeah a bad idea all I'll say is 2016 was a crazy year
I have a custom hardline 11900k and 3080ti on 2x 360 rads with a 360 reservoir. It's fun to build but ugh I don't want to change anything or clean it. Such a pain to do anything later. And HEAVY!
I'm a big air cooling guy cause if you buy a decent to high end air cooler the only thing that can break is the fan and that's easily replaceable unlike an aio pump and aios lose thermal efficiency of the liquid as it evaporates over time
I actually watercooled my 12900k for a year and switched back to an aio like 3 months ago to be honest i loved water cooling but i was always flipping gpus off fb marketplace and everytime i did i had to drain my pc and i added a sas card and a thunderbolt card and both times i had to drain my loop but since i was always upgrading or adding or swapping stuff watercooling actually became kind of annoying but watercooling the pc isnt hard its just finding parts that fit your case and satisfy your taste but if you are willing to maintain your pc and you don’t upgrade or swap every few days or so I actually do recommend it but ill recommend checking every day for leaks in the case i used it checked the psu basement and sometimes stains appear its almost obvious but my pc only leaked twice one time because i was stupid and didnt close the drain valve the other time was it leaked slowly and it dripped to the basement but nothing ever died on me
Corsair liquid for $20 bucks, you get 1000ml and honestly I’d get clear liquid too so it’s easier to tell if it needs to be replaced before the year mark.
Also every 7 to 8 months you should disassemble all the liquid cool parts and then change water and a ton of headaches. So AIO for life for people who wants hassle free system
Building custom loops is the most fun I have when I build never wanted to don't build mine and every buddy came calling to build it for them to 9 pc in now
Drawback of AIOs, 5 year lifetime, I had a Kraken x62 for si years before it started acting up. The fix, turn the whole pc 90° every time the CPU got overheated
thats probably a good advice ... almost all people should never touch the subject. The dangers of water damage ***ALWAYS*** exist and they are real. Stick to super-silent, super-efficient aircooling - the very best aircooling-systems border on the very same cooling-efficiency numbers as liquid cooling.
I was going to liquid cool my very first ever PC build thinking I was hot shit then realized after a ton of research that I'm nowhere near knowledgeable to do it, so I pulled out and went with AIO and fans. Now though after a shit ton of research, I'm pretty certain I could make a solid liquid cooling loop, with soft tubing, since again I'm inexperienced with hardline tubing. Eventually maybe in 3-5 Years I'm going to build a top of the line build with a full custom water loop with both a cpu and gpu waterblock, with hardline tubing, hopefully by then we get a serious increase to gpu and cpu performance, and also a bit of hopium for some nice price drops 😭.
If you don't want the inevitable leak to destroy your entire PC, use either undiluted ethanol, ethylene glycol, or kerosene. If you use the latter, make sure your pipes are oil-resistant.
@@oxaile4021 do you trust random guys from random forums more or well esatblished tech influencers? I mean not saying they should harass influencers with questions like that but I get them asking them instead of random people
Liquid cooling is honestly only needed if your PC is a fat and busty one where it's a beast at everything or you have overclocked pretty much everything. Other than that, proper air cooling, a monthly cleaning is all you need, plus, liquid cooling ain't cheap, definitely not when it leaks
"There is a vast amount of research needed for liquid cooling so let me put out a pointless video that makes is harder to find what you need and actively discourages you from doing your own research." Real helpful.
For people who are asking tho: Use distilled water with copper and additives to prevent algae and bacteria growth. Coloured cooling is optional
Don't get opaque liquid as it will cause problems down the line (unless you really want to)

Bro responded to every question on the planet except the one on the screen 😂😂
If you need liquid cooling but don't want to do tons of research. There is something called the Corsair custom cooling configurator.
My man completely forgot about the not so long ago AMD days. I was rocking an fx8370 and no air cooler could touch that thing. I upgraded in 2019 to a 3700x and was stoked that I could use the dingus air cooler on it. It may have helped it was half the tdp of the fx series but damn was it glorious.
Bro straight up called him "dumbass" in a nice way
I still use Air cooler(Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5) for my i7-14700K build and its average temp is 40-50°C (30-35° C ambient temp). During stress test it goes 100°C, but these chips are made to go hot.
the i7 is perfectly air coolable with a well ventilated setup and a decent cooler. maybe overclocking would put it over but that's not necessary even for high end gaming.
i fell asleep last night watching this and have had it on repeat for like 18 hours because I had to rush out in the morning lol
I use my car coolant works alrighty when you use a airpump to power it. That thing is cold and cool can't beat it
I would do Freon cooling for the hottest running CPU’s and make sure that the hoses are temperature and pressure rated using a pump and radiator with variable speed fans on the radiator
For inexperienced people aio are perfectly fine if you really want the water cooling for your cpu. But liquid cooling is great but can take time and is pretty expensive for a custom build. You plan it carefully and build it good you have a nice system that will perform well. Just be prepared for the amount of time you'll need to put into it and always make shure of your measurements.
I love my AIO liquid cooler :)
Allows me to push my 5900x to lile 4.5ghz
For people who often need to replace hardware and don't want to customize the power cables at all, hard tube water cooling makes no sense to me because it is almost just for aesthetic, and the impact on temperature is not a big of a deal. Once you need to perform hardware maintenance (clean the dust or swap a GPU etc.), the process of draining and re-filling it's just painful.
Also, the hardest part is the maintenance of a water cooling system. So for anybody out there wondering if they should to smth like this, don't, trust me.
I love my air coolers. Mine is gigantic compared to what it needs to cool but it makes it boost higher than advertised which makes me happy in a way. Imagine cooling a 5600x with a 1.5kg copper worth of cooling lmao
Main advantage with custom loop is that you can use direct die cpu blocks for more performance
I like the part where he answers the question
My aio cooler was corroded after 6 months of use. I refilled it 80/20 blue antifreeze and destilated water and it works amazing since, but getting all the air out is a bit tricky.
"If you don't know the thing that you're asking me to teach you then don't even bother learning"
I agree with him if you have to ask this much of a basic question you really do not need to be trying to do a liquid loop
If I were to do water cooling, I would use -20°C vodka. You get good drink and good pc temps
Ultra high end air cooling is actually better (but much less space efficient) than water cooling. liquid/water cooling is just more visually appealing unless you like the look of massive heat sinks.
For Ryzen 5000+ users with old stock coolers like a Wraith Spire or Prism, if your CPU gets too hot you can look into the PBO2 Curve Optimizer. Most motherboards should have an option in BIOS, but if yours doesn't there is also a third-party utility that allows you to tune it. Set a negative offset starting at -5, run a few Cinebench tests for stability, then change by -5 and repeat until you reach instability, then go back to the last good setting and start incrementing by -1, at a max of -30. As a result, my 5700X3D runs cooler than my 3600 did on a Wraith Prism, and honestly with those adjustments I think a Wraith Stealth could handle it, albeit with an aggressive fan curve.
For the people who got triggered - u should watch the video, its the very basic level question ( he mentioned it ) and if the user doesn't know the basics then the chances are he will ruin his setup ( also the liquid setups and loops are not cheap so advice on such things without mentioning the parts and everything is not a good idea - what if they make a rookie mistake and liquid leaks and mess up the setup - who do you think they are going to point fingers at) and then the blame game type of shit in short if u r at basic step just don't go pro with a jump. andddd this is not something which can be explained in 30 sec tik tok or reel or something lyk that.
The problem with AIOs is that after 2 to 4 years, most of the water will have evaporated, and you'll need to replace it.
You get liquid coolers to take the excess weight off the mobo and get better cooling.
The best option would be to make a custom water loop or a custom AIO; either of them with filling and draining ports. I don't understand why these ports aren't standard on all AIOs over $100 but whatever.
ducted cooling is the way to go, no more air just floating around in the case.
I went with the Arctic LF2 360 (LF3 wasn’t out yet) and it’s been cooling my i9 10920x really well
I don't know what fluid to use on my first time with a PC so I may or may not have put in motor oil yeah a bad idea all I'll say is 2016 was a crazy year
I have a custom hardline 11900k and 3080ti on 2x 360 rads with a 360 reservoir.
It's fun to build but ugh I don't want to change anything or clean it. Such a pain to do anything later. And HEAVY!
Sometimes AIOs have tubing that isn't long enough or may not work with a certain case. Just depends on your circumstances.
I'm a big air cooling guy cause if you buy a decent to high end air cooler the only thing that can break is the fan and that's easily replaceable unlike an aio pump and aios lose thermal efficiency of the liquid as it evaporates over time
I actually watercooled my 12900k for a year and switched back to an aio like 3 months ago to be honest i loved water cooling but i was always flipping gpus off fb marketplace and everytime i did i had to drain my pc and i added a sas card and a thunderbolt card and both times i had to drain my loop but since i was always upgrading or adding or swapping stuff watercooling actually became kind of annoying but watercooling the pc isnt hard its just finding parts that fit your case and satisfy your taste but if you are willing to maintain your pc and you don’t upgrade or swap every few days or so I actually do recommend it but ill recommend checking every day for leaks in the case i used it checked the psu basement and sometimes stains appear its almost obvious but my pc only leaked twice one time because i was stupid and didnt close the drain valve the other time was it leaked slowly and it dripped to the basement but nothing ever died on me
For my machine, I went with a closed loop water cooler. I haven't had a single issue with it so far.
Liquid cooling looks cool. I use it on every build
Braker fluid is good👌🏻
Corsair liquid for $20 bucks, you get 1000ml and honestly I’d get clear liquid too so it’s easier to tell if it needs to be replaced before the year mark.
Also every 7 to 8 months you should disassemble all the liquid cool parts and then change water and a ton of headaches. So AIO for life for people who wants hassle free system
I loved the part where he said what liquid you need for liquid cooling
I watched a video where a guy made a vodka cooled PC. Life of Boris is true art.
Building custom loops is the most fun I have when I build never wanted to don't build mine and every buddy came calling to build it for them to 9 pc in now
Practice LC, on computers that you don't care about before trying on your primary PC!
Good advise, let me go to the toilet and start shitting some money
I followed your $750 pc build guide I used a Ryzen 5 5600x and my build was an aesthetic build it came out to be a little over a $1000
Pretty sure you can just drop AC refrigerant or some Prestone Antifreeze/Coolant in and it would work
bro said everything but not the answer for the guy 😂
Drawback of AIOs, 5 year lifetime, I had a Kraken x62 for si years before it started acting up. The fix, turn the whole pc 90° every time the CPU got overheated
your PC is actually gorgeous holy shit
thats probably a good advice ... almost all people should never touch the subject. The dangers of water damage ***ALWAYS*** exist and they are real. Stick to super-silent, super-efficient aircooling - the very best aircooling-systems border on the very same cooling-efficiency numbers as liquid cooling.
I have a 13700k and a air cooler that's $60 works perfectly fine with great temps
I was going to liquid cool my very first ever PC build thinking I was hot shit then realized after a ton of research that I'm nowhere near knowledgeable to do it, so I pulled out and went with AIO and fans.
Now though after a shit ton of research, I'm pretty certain I could make a solid liquid cooling loop, with soft tubing, since again I'm inexperienced with hardline tubing.
Eventually maybe in 3-5 Years I'm going to build a top of the line build with a full custom water loop with both a cpu and gpu waterblock, with hardline tubing, hopefully by then we get a serious increase to gpu and cpu performance, and also a bit of hopium for some nice price drops 😭.
I love the part where he answers the question
If you don't want the inevitable leak to destroy your entire PC, use either undiluted ethanol, ethylene glycol, or kerosene. If you use the latter, make sure your pipes are oil-resistant.
while I generally agree with his points there is just one problem
you gotta start somewhere so asking basic questions like that sounds valid to me
Or instead of asking the same question for the 999999th time he could just go look up some forum posts where it has already been answered.
@@oxaile4021 do you trust random guys from random forums more or well esatblished tech influencers? I mean not saying they should harass influencers with questions like that but I get them asking them instead of random people
@@krbraveofficial As if the said influncers didn’t have plenty of tutorial videos is the subject to watch.
I remember years ago (like 1080 era) when everyone and their mother were doing liquid cooling
Liquid cooling is honestly only needed if your PC is a fat and busty one where it's a beast at everything or you have overclocked pretty much everything. Other than that, proper air cooling, a monthly cleaning is all you need, plus, liquid cooling ain't cheap, definitely not when it leaks
Instructions unclear now using watered down maple syrup in my PC. Helps the water make extra contact with everything.
I've been using fan since forever and that's good enough
"There is a vast amount of research needed for liquid cooling so let me put out a pointless video that makes is harder to find what you need and actively discourages you from doing your own research." Real helpful.
