    Thanks Jay for making content that's still relevant today. I've been watching your vids for a few years now, and finally have built my own custom loop with GPU block and CPU/vrm monoblock and 2 rads. I would've been kinda lost without being able to refer to your older videos

    ive never taken apart a block before, had no idea those fins were actual fins (ive only ever seen solid blocks, not the clear ones so when i heard people refer to the waterblock fins, i imagined somewhat chunky slot like channels for the water) very cool

    Actually had a few of my friends ask me where to recycle used cooling liquid. If you have a town recycle center, they can usually accept it. The best thing to do is look up the composition and write it on a piece of paper with the bottle and then tape it there. Some parts stores may also accept it. If worse comes to worse, contact your city and ask where you can recycle it. That's all I can think of.
    Great video though Jay, really does help even though I just use an AIO.

    Also a 15-20USD digital power supply tester also works as a jumper to turn on your PSU and you get to check your PSU volts at the same time, no jumpers no clips pretty much idiot proof, plug it in and the one I have has a 30 minute duty cycle In its simplest meaning you can run it 30 minutes then you need to let it cool down 30 minutes

    Simple and excellent video Jay, cheers. Liked the Pink Panther cut.
    So many comments to the tune of 'omagherd there's so much maintenance!'... get off social networks for an hour every 6 months (worst case) and everything's sorted. For true hardware nutters, the prime watercooling market, the absolutely miniscule time investment on maintenance isn't even worth a mention. I disown and distance myself from this 'entitled' generation!

  • @Internationalmanofmysteries
    @Internationalmanofmysteries 7 лет назад +1

    I use distilled water and glycol as cooling fluid. I have flushed the system 3-4 times in the past 8 years (at same time any hardware changes have been made). Only when needed. The buildup and gunk has always been very minimal. Use case varies from heavy duty cryptomining with 3 AMD GPUs 24/7 a few years ago to light gaming with a single nvidia GPU. All copper loop everywhere, no mixed metals.

  • @moose1336

    I'm an engineer and I build my waterloop and realized that if we use a total of 3 drain valves with an open port on the top of the reservoir per loop (in case you have dual loop) to create flush system and drain system (drain system is just a single drain at the lowest point of the loop. As described in the video. The 2 drain valves will be joined together with a T fitting One of the drain valve will go to the return of the reservoir (call it return valve), while the other will be closed and sealed (called it seal valve). When we plan to flush the system, make sure the pump is off. Then open the top of the reservoir, and connect it to a pool of distill water. Then remove the seal on the seal valve and connect it to a bucket or what ever you use for your waste liquid. Then turn off the return valve, and open the seal valve. Finally turn on your pump. Depending on the size of your distill water pool and what you use for you waste water, you can technically have it going for a while. Once, the water is clear you can even connect the seal valve to the distill water pool to keep it cycling.

    loving the maintenance videos jay, any chance of one for cleaning radiators with quite a heavy build up of dust. I had literally a dust rug suffocating a rad peeled off got the compressor out blasted most of off and then used a small soft brush and some isopropanol (sorry bad spelling) but there are some stubborn bits still clinging to the fins that refuse to budge. Its a AIO so i dont feel quite comfortable taking it out and running it under hot water in case any water works its way into the pcb of the block and possible water stains on the black sleeving as i live in a hard water area.

I have a dual bay res on my current build however i incorporated a drain port in the case so you've given me some awesome tips when i need to flush this loop :)
    I really need to convert to a tube reservoir though.

    Would non see trough parts with thick rubber tubes last longer? I'm not into flushing my loops that why I never went past a AIO.

  • @davidfreeman4343
    @davidfreeman4343 7 лет назад +1

    Hey jay do you think ek will ever have an aluminum line of fittings and such? I like the idea of it but as of now since it’s just the kits you don’t really have the expand ability factor like you would with a copper/nickel line and That’s one of the best things about water cooling imo

    Would you recommend to dye the cooling fluid for maintenance reasons? I mean, you can see there the fluid went, where you definitely have to clean up. Wouldnt be so easy with clear fluid

  • @kjagsh
    @kjagsh 7 лет назад +2

    Jay what actually causes the coolant to change? Is it just over time, or is it over time while its flowing around the loop over parts / constantly changing temperature (eg: it cools when the system goes off). Might be interesting to put a sample of coolant in a plastic bottle when you do your builds, and when you come to change the fluid, you can compare the fluid you drain out of the loop with the original sample and see just how much it has changed, obviously if the fluid changes over time regardless then this won't work but I was curious

    Where it says: REMOVE THE TOP TO RESERVOIR, can I simply take a G1/4 Stop out of the top? (I have a Multi). I have Liquid Fill Bottles w/ gravity spouts to refill... I am actually just doing a 'first flush' during my 1st ever build, (with an ASUS Maximus 9 Extreme MB!) and this seems plenty helpful for that, so I'm gonna treat this video like a 'first flush video',. (I'll do my radiator and clean all possible parts, with distilled and clear vinegar etc over sink, pre install Righy?!) OH!! Wow, it all feels less scary after seeing this... So glad I bought a Spigot Valve thingie! I am making a PURPLE MEGA MACHINE! THANKS JAY

  • @brandonupchurch7628
    @brandonupchurch7628 7 лет назад +1

    I've never actually hadd the money or desire to build a water cooling loop, but I did research it quite heavily in my teenage years. Pretty much what I determined was never use any special coolant or dies, it will only gunk up the extremely fine micro channels in modern blocks. don't put aluminum parts in your loop, only use parts made of copper, brass or other galvanically similar metal, use a silver kill coil as it will release silver ion into the water which works as a rather effective biocide, don't add anti corrosive additives they are not necessary if you use galvanically similar metals also because they tend to act a sacrificial anode and overtime as the anti corrosive additive will react with metals in the system and it will suspend out of solution and can gunk up micro channels. Use only distilled water as a coolant because other coolants typically have lower specific heat capacities than pure water and the lower freezing point or higher boiling point other coolants provide over water is essentially moot because water cooling loops for computers are always going to be above freezing and below the boiling point of water. The only additive that may be useful in a water cooling system is a small drop of dish soap or some other surfactant to reduce the surface tension of the water to help prime air bubbles out of the loop. Also I think I had determined that it would be optimal to have the reservoir at the top of the loop or to have a reservoir that was as tall as the loop and keep the pump at the very bottom of the loop that way the pump always has water and having the reservoir at the top of the loop or having a reservoir that is taller than the loop should help keep air bubbles out of the system.

    Depending on what the coolant is made of, it may be a mistake to assume that it will leave .75L. For instance one cup of isopropyl alcohol with one cup of water will not equal the same volume of two cups of water.

Also different types of soft tubing and hard tubing and your recommendations.
