Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
Thanks for the vid. I was wondering exactly how my Kraken X62 worked! Now I know! This channel is the best for this sort of tech breakdown for PC's and accessories. Glad to see GN constantly growing in popularity.
I'm a simple man I see new upload from Gamers Nexus, I click watch. Thanks for the CLC suppliers list, I hope you release one for laptops, PSUs, etc. it's interesting to know which OEM supplies to manufacturers. Safe travels to Taipei!
Steve. You run the most in depth and comprehensive and informative website/channel there is. Always enjoy your content. Love your Work. Fucking keep it up mate.
Great video, was more thorough than I would expect from a tech tuber. Surprised you even went into the coolant mixtures and tubing types. I would expect it to be around 20-40% glycol in these aios but if I had to guess it would be closer to 20%. Also that cracking he described in the inner teflon lining of the tubing brings up a important question for anyone with plastic piping in their house. What happens when the inner lining of the pex pipe cracks and either bacteria grows inside the crack or the chemical components of the plastic leech into your potable water system? Pex piping which is what is installed in new homes these days hasn't been around long enough for us to know it's safety long term.
Thank you so very much for this video ! I really wanted to know the part about the fans, I always though how it worked, and although I was really close to the answer you made it clear to understand, very imformative ! Bravo !
You guys should make a series out of this and do an episode on explaining exactly how other components work. Ex: gpus, cpus, power supplies, hell even fans. That'd be very informative.
Loved this video! I'd like to see something similar to this about custom loops. Obviously it would be more complex and have a lot more variation but even just the most commonly used stuff would be interesting.
I would really like a disassambly for the Be Quiet Silent Loop Pump. since they say its a special kind of pump. They say for example, that the Pump has to run at 100% the whole time (which is around 2300RPM says the Software) or it gets damaged. BUT its more silent then others.
Nice video, but I hoped to also hear something about optimal mounting of the pump and radiator (e.g. radiator inlet/outlet up or down, etc.) and get that connected to how the things looks inside.
Jonas Björklund Svensson Not really the point. That becomes a performance test, and we've done that testing before. That said, we're working on more of it
That one was VERY GOOD video, with awesome presentation, very educative, with good in depth detail. Congratulations for all the involved, im going to put on favorites! For more videos with that quality, thank you very much.
This was a great video that illustrated water cooling with the 3d illustration :)

What about durability? This CLC solutions look great but how long will they work until they run out of liquid? I'd love to cool my next system with a Silent Loop from Be Quiet! but I am afraid of having to replace the cooling solution after that time. Also how rare are leakages from this type of solutions?
Our Kraken Series liquid coolers are backed by an industry-leading 6-year warranty. Basically, you don't have to worry about anything in that timeframe. If for some reason the Kraken leaks, we'll replace it along with any hardware it damages.
NZXT has the basics covered in their answer, but will provide an independent party answer as well: Asetek CLCs tend to start nearing end-of-life by the 5-6 year point, depending on how much abuse they've been through and what kind of environment you live in. The reason for EOL on closed-loop liquid coolers is more because of permeation than anything else; the liquid will begin to permeate the tubes at some point (some tubes handle this better than others), and will do so at a faster pace if liquid temp runs higher for longer periods. The 5-6 year point is when you'll start noticing more air bubbles in the loop (potential "gurgling" noises when the pump starts up on boot), and that's because the loop is starting to lose some of its liquid to permeation (not to leakage).

Well that sort of settles it, I'm going water-cooling in summer. Thx for the super helpful and quick reply, I will consider the X62 ;)
7 лет назад+6
Gamers Nexus I really appreciate you taking the time to answer so in-depth. It really helps a lot, thx
Never understood how those work. thanks for the explanation. I will be buying the NZXT BLD prebuilt PC soon and I am definitely getting all the stuff I need to not upgrade for a while. they are a good brand.
I must say Steve this is the most informative show and a long time and I honestly prefer this to Linus' Antics because it's to the point. I I too share the love of building computers my friend; thank you so much for your awesome Channel and Technical information that helps inform consumers.
In case you work with Blender, you might wanna check out the De-noiser which got added not too long ago with 2.79, its absolute magic what it can do to noisy renders. You might even be able to reduce the samplesize with it
noctua won't make a clc, because clcs can't run a 6 year warranty and will never have the life expectancy one expects from noctua. also why would they? making your own would be a ton of effort and they would have to make it perfect and just rebrand like almost everyone else does it for clcs. also with some luck the era of clcs will end soon if calyos releases an aio based on their 2 phase cooling, which is basically an aio without pump needed and completely closed, if the flexible tubes would be reliable enough those would be sth. noctua would like to produce maybe, but calyos will probs not allow anyone else but themselves to produce those products. in 2 months they will sent out passive cooled high performance cases as their first consumer products, so it will take a while until they produce other stuff, but i really hope we will have sth. better than clcs for strong cooling in the future in regards to reliability and performance. remember clcs do kill components! although often protected through warranty a dead hdd with your not backuped data that was under the clc that leaked, can't be saved! or rather it can, but for insane prices.
water cooler's cpu/gpu blocks should have more surface area on the inside to exchange the heat between the cpu and liquid more efficiently because thats kind of holding the whole thing back
great video, nice animations. u could have talked a bit about what life expectancy to expect from aios and why they fail etc... and how they compare in reliability to custom water loops and to air coolers, but whatever kinda not that much the point of the video.
Thanks! Andrew does good work on the animations. Re: points of failure -- perhaps that is a good topic for a separate video, where we'd really be able to drill down on types of failures and duration.
@gamers nexus, that would be a super cool video, comparing all colling solutions with expected life, failure point analysis, reasons etc... for air, aio and custom loop, that would get people to make better decisions on colling for sure.
No name In a vertical orientation, eg front-mounted? Bottom. That should keep the air bubbles at the top of the tank and will reduce risk of creating noise by sucking air through the pump.
my X61's pump had air bubbles in from the beginning which is a bit annoying since its the only audible sound when i am idling...shame...hope that other manufacturers fix that
at first i had the tubes on the bottom of the rad, which didnt help and then after like 4 weeks i turn the rad around to have the tubes at the top which didnt help as well.
Hi Gamers Nexus, Please make a video on how to easily connect 10-13 QL 120 Fans using a Commander Pro and some Node Core, do it really need a splitter (2) and a NZXT USB Hub (1)? Your 3D animation looks good and easy to understand.
Magnet with rubber surfacing from NZXT to hold audio headsets, VR etc. Also has a loop to coil wires around it. It comes with a few of their cases, but can also be bought separately and used on any metallic case.
One thing that could have been mentioned, GPU and CPU air coolers that have heat pipes [which is most of them] have liquid in them as well. They help cool using the phase change effect.
nice video I don't trust the pumps I'll stay with my noctua cooler push and pull same temps and no risk of killing my cpu ,just my opinion, love you're information video's thank you.
so I have the ENERMAX 240mm AQUAFUSION CPU Cooler, and I'm curious how often I need to drain and refill it. After checking the website it said it requires no maintenance but I can't find any info online.
Just so happens I was researching AIOs today, if you are in the UK there is a good price for the EVGA 280mm CLC at Scan.co.uk for £90 just now which seems like a really decent deal compared to the competition.
Hey I want to mount a AIO on the side of the O11 Dynamic XL and i'm not sure about the orientation. Basically all builds that I could find put the tubes on the TOP but if i remember correctly, you suggest to put them on the bottom to make sure they never suck air. Are everyone else wrong, or do I miss something important?? Thanks a lot! PS: will you take a look at the Lian Li Galahad AIO?
People complain about the firmware on the Asetek based Corsair's AIOs (even Corsair's Staff, see their Forum).... saying that it's almost impossible to sort out the firmware issues due to the pcb design. They mention that CoolIT are much much better. I come across this "situation" when I bought my Corsair H105. Like Steve said and showed it to us in this graph, Asetek has the majority of the market.... and when I bought the Kraken X62, again Asetek based, I was worried.... but I could see on one of GN's tear downs (this time of the Kraken X42) that the PCB on this new series are designed by NZXT. That could be a good thing because the firmware is probably NZXT's instead of the old buggy Asetek one. Having said that, the CAM software on the NZXT is very cool and has loads of controls but still not bug free. I've had a few issues with it.
Hey Steve when should you change your coolant I have a EKWB 360 extreme with EKWB red coolant cooling my 6700k cpu for a year and a half color looks the same & cpu temperature are great . I pretty much use my computer for gaming BF 4 or BF 1 I was wondering how long the coolant last ?
Until a couple of weeks ago I had a Corsair H110 in one of my rigs, while doing some spring cleaning in the case I noticed several spots of corrosion on the radiator channels. On a couple of them, there was even clear evidence of coolant leak although it hadn't gotten far before drying up. This unit had only been in use for 2 years, yet had already started to corrode from the inside. i'm not sure what generation of Asetek pump this unit uses, but could it be that the older ones have a higher risk for galvanic corrosion or should I expect this from all AIO coolers? 0.o
RatSlayer 420 Anything involving water and metal will react over time. It's normal for corrosion to happen but what usually increases the rate of the reaction is generally temperature, compound of the liquid, different metals in the same loop ie copper heatsink and aluminum radiator(this is a major one). These reactions occur all the time even when the liquid cooler is not in use. So even though you had your liquid cooler for 2 years it might have been manufactured 2+ years ago.
So would I need to fiddle with anything if I were to install one of these all-in-one coolers? Any liquid to deal with or is it place and play so to speak?
Hello, I have a question concerning my Water-cooling pump. I have bought a gamer pc 3 months ago and I have been hearing a strange noise since 3 weeks. It is like a bubble noise that I never had before. I don't know where it comes from but this bubble noise is irritating. It comes and goes and can last up to 30min. This is the first time I have a water cooled PC. The temperature of the CPU and the GFx card are around 65 to 70 at their peak. There is also the Summer heatwave hitting hard so my room gets hot too. I need advice before I go repairing this. Thank you very much. PS:If you need more technical details about the brand please ask.
*QUESTION* Isn't the warm water heating the cooled water again on the way back to the outlet? Wouldn't it make more sense to have inlet and outlet on different ends of the radiator or some kind of channel that passes the radiator without heattransfer from the warm inlet?
I need your help desperately Gamers Nexus. One of my radiator fins snapped off. It was only one small piece i think the metal is still secure on the vertical tubes. This is a radiator connected to my $2200 3090 TI Asus Rog Strix Am i screwed?
What should my pump speed be? I don't know much but if the pump speed is max would the liquid not travel in the radiator long enough to reach a good low temperature before going back to the CPU and if I make my pump the lowest speed would it take too long for the cool liquid to travel to the CPU?
I really want to know how the pump works so far been unlucky had 2 pumps die on me one lasted 2 years the other only lasted 4 weeks. I still have the coolers im wondering if theres a way to repair the pumps especially that one that only lasted 4 weeks I mean it dont make any sense why it broke.
so based on this video its safe to say that the air pushed through the radiator SHOULD BE EXPELLED out of the case to avoid heating up other components that are not liquid cooled. This contradicts MOST youtube PC builders stance that its acceptable to use radiators and liquid coolers in the intake position of a case. Its also what I, and alot of other people have been saying all along. Why you would ever run a radiator in an intake position (if you have a choice) is beyond me.
It's always fun to integrate more animations from GN's Andrew! Full article over here, including more info on all of this: www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2926-how-liquid-coolers-work-deep-dive
Gamers Nexus should have added the Fractal Design Celsius series to that list 🤔
Syrup Viper That list is from our coverage that came out years before Fractal's coolers, but they are also Asetek.
Gamers Nexus Alright thanks 😎
Now nzxt will send you more puck after this LOL
Gamers Nexus do you know which manufacturers target the -40° spec?
Needs more Puck.
Are you pucking amused?
Gamers Nexus did they really send over multiple pucks?
And more RGB? Are you guys going to make a Kraken x62 with clear tubes so that you can put RGB leds inside and light up the tube? that would be cool. I would buy 2 personally (dual xeon e5-2670's).

It would be cool if Noctua made a CLC. Different color options would be awesome
no no no, noctua must keep their color as brown, then you can tell who is superficial and who is after performance and quality
i would buy Noctua CLC with their color scheme
Nathan Wingard noctua with ek as their manufacturer, instawin lol
noctua won't make a clc, because clcs can't run a 6 year warranty and will never have the life expectancy one expects from noctua.
also why would they? making your own would be a ton of effort and they would have to make it perfect and just rebrand like almost everyone else does it for clcs.
also with some luck the era of clcs will end soon if calyos releases an aio based on their 2 phase cooling, which is basically an aio without pump needed and completely closed, if the flexible tubes would be reliable enough those would be sth. noctua would like to produce maybe, but calyos will probs not allow anyone else but themselves to produce those products.
in 2 months they will sent out passive cooled high performance cases as their first consumer products, so it will take a while until they produce other stuff, but i really hope we will have sth. better than clcs for strong cooling in the future in regards to reliability and performance.
remember clcs do kill components! although often protected through warranty a dead hdd with your not backuped data that was under the clc that leaked, can't be saved! or rather it can, but for insane prices.

Really clear explanation, thanks!!
u should make a video, taking all the nzxt pucks making them into one big magnet and checking if they can destroy an hdd :D

What is better, having the tubes facing the top of the case or facing the bottom of the case?
No name In a vertical orientation, eg front-mounted? Bottom. That should keep the air bubbles at the top of the tank and will reduce risk of creating noise by sucking air through the pump.

These reactions occur all the time even when the liquid cooler is not in use. So even though you had your liquid cooler for 2 years it might have been manufactured 2+ years ago.
Yes it's certainly a possibility that the unit is much older than 2 years, I bought it late 2014 and used it for 2 years.
So would I need to fiddle with anything if I were to install one of these all-in-one coolers? Any liquid to deal with or is it place and play so to speak?
great info, thanks!
Hello,
I have a question concerning my Water-cooling pump. I have bought a gamer pc 3 months ago and I have been hearing a strange noise since 3 weeks. It is like a bubble noise that I never had before. I don't know where it comes from but this bubble noise is irritating. It comes and goes and can last up to 30min. This is the first time I have a water cooled PC.
The temperature of the CPU and the GFx card are around 65 to 70 at their peak.
There is also the Summer heatwave hitting hard so my room gets hot too.
I need advice before I go repairing this. Thank you very much.
PS:If you need more technical details about the brand please ask.
Thanks from turkey juses!
I've seen some builds that make their own tubes. And they bend them to the angles they want. Is that a better option? And do those also come in kits?
*QUESTION* Isn't the warm water heating the cooled water again on the way back to the outlet? Wouldn't it make more sense to have inlet and outlet on different ends of the radiator or some kind of channel that passes the radiator without heattransfer from the warm inlet?
Wait so do you need to fill it with water or does it already come with water and you just need to install the AIO???

I need your help desperately Gamers Nexus. One of my radiator fins snapped off. It was only one small piece i think the metal is still secure on the vertical tubes. This is a radiator connected to my $2200 3090 TI Asus Rog Strix Am i screwed?
What should my pump speed be? I don't know much but if the pump speed is max would the liquid not travel in the radiator long enough to reach a good low temperature before going back to the CPU and if I make my pump the lowest speed would it take too long for the cool liquid to travel to the CPU?
I really want to know how the pump works so far been unlucky had 2 pumps die on me one lasted 2 years the other only lasted 4 weeks. I still have the coolers im wondering if theres a way to repair the pumps especially that one that only lasted 4 weeks I mean it dont make any sense why it broke.
I know this vid is ancient by IT standards, but wondering if you know what the average amount of liquid would be inside various sizes of CLC?
so based on this video its safe to say that the air pushed through the radiator SHOULD BE EXPELLED out of the case to avoid heating up other components that are not liquid cooled. This contradicts MOST youtube PC builders stance that its acceptable to use radiators and liquid coolers in the intake position of a case. Its also what I, and alot of other people have been saying all along. Why you would ever run a radiator in an intake position (if you have a choice) is beyond me.
