- Hey Guys,
This Video is intended for the complete BEGINNER that wants to get into custom PC Water cooling.
I hope this video is received as intended and helps the entry level enthusiasts out there on their journey into PC water-cooling by answering some of the most basic questions that I myself had when starting out.

Sick! There is definitely a need for a series like this, with all the others being years old, and pc components getting very hot nowadays.
Thanks for the comment! That’s what inspired me to create the series hopefully it helps 😃👍🏻
you're on the right track ....
Thanks
Nice video!
Thank you 👍🏻
Great video, i learned a ton, i got so many questions for new videos (are monoblocks worth it, how do you clean a waterblock, coolant qs) but I read you said your a father now, so im sure it aint easy 😂🎉
Hey, I’m glad you found this video useful! Monoblocks are very good but do tend to be a bit more of a pain to fit as in most cases you need to remove the VRM heat sink. To clean a water block is pretty simple, you just need to strip the block down be carful not damage the seal and then clean the all parts with distilled water. I will do a video on this in the near future so keep and eye out. Regarding mono blocks I’m going to be doing a duel pc build and both Mobo’s will be running Monoblocks. Yes I am new to fatherhood 😬 so still trying to find the balance of time to create videos but have a solid plan for the new year (hopefully) 😂
@@ROWDY.404 awesome awesome! I just bought a monoblock today (an ekwb) and its pretty tidy - I'd already taken the VRM heatsink off, you're right what a faff that was... I ended up with 2 extra screws at the end, still no idea where they're supposed to go. Bonus screws. The motherboard has a metal undertray thing, and sometimes the top screws into the bottom, sometimes the bottom wants to screw into the top, somehow ASUS built a three-way-handshake and/or chicken-egg paradox into what is essentially motherboard tat. I bet it doesn't even help performance. Last time I built a computer there wasn't RGB, only G, the color of the PCB.
@@ROWDY.404 can't help with work/life balance mate 2023 is a absolute hitshow
Ah nice, what board is it going on? don't worry too much about the spare screws I'm pretty sure EK generally supply more than you need for the butter finger builders lol I don't miss the green PCB days haha and yes couldn't agree more 2023 will be easily forgotten 🙋🏼♂️
thanks man.
appreciate super helpful tutorials.
But I've got an odd one for ya.
Umm i have the katana 1070 with a copper heatsink.
I kind of am wondering what would happen if i were to dremel out an area of fins to hopefully a nice flat area and then flow solder/braise a copper water block to it. . . how do you think that would fare with water cooling if the two surfaces were successfully mated?
Thanks for shaun,
Hey bro, thanks for the comment I’m glad you find these useful! In all honesty I can’t see why this wouldn’t work however I’m not sure how well it would scale compared to the current air cooler as there will be a fair amount of extra (unconventional) material between the die and the water block! I assume you are struggling to find a specific water block for the card?
@@ROWDY.404 thanks for the time to reply. I did com accross a couple of.simple setups that seem would work, but it is more the curiosity to atleast spectulate if it can be done neatly using the old heatsink... On ali you can seem to get an all copper block up to a 10*40*80mm which measure up appealingly. The copper cooling fins i can see a bit of solder in some spots, so i am wondering if dremeling out the 80*40 perimeter then hitting it with a torch will let them pull away from the flat surface (the flat surface is the topside of what i think is called the vapour chamber 90*90 apprx area). But yeh definitly just thoughts for now. Thanks again for your time.
@@ROWDY.404 update i had a go at the copper heat sink. i made the vapor chamber explode 😅 because i kept repositioning the copper block while appying a torch to it. but with what was left, it kinda worked out ( a bit redneck though)
inside is ugly looking because i had to reposision the block a coupe of times make more cuts and i didn't wire brush the copper back.. but the original case fits over it now.
with tombraider playing GPU/hotspot sits at 93/104 (no fan) 70/82 (w/fan)
idle 37/47(w/fan)
watching yt pump turned off/no fans @
Hey sorry for late reply! This is absolutely awesome man, nice work! is it still going strong?
@@ROWDY.404 (sry re-comment) Yeh somehow it is working😅. tools used : grinder, blow torch goggles & a beard. So it is a bit of a rough prototype attempt.
I had success with soldering the water block to the vapor chamber but i kept repositioning it and inevitably made it pop into the air. Vapor chamber out of the way it soldered okay (had to reposition and cut a few times). And the original cover fit back over ( just removed fan fins and had two tubes sticking out back).
I think temps are okay, by memory cyberpunk on a hot day @ 1440/4k everything i was allowed to max brought it to something like 80celcius hot spot/gpuz (i think)...
So for a first go it was enjoyable to try. Won't say i won't try it again.😑
Cheers from shaun.
