Beautiful loop! I was always afraid to do water loops until I came across your videos. I just built my 3rd water loop system and it’s all thanks to your videos. I wasn’t afraid to drill or cut my case to make it work for what I wanted! Thank you for all the inspiration!
Same, he IS the motivation for my second watercooled (all started this year). 😋
He sure did bring me back to it,
my 1st was early 2000, softtubing was the way in those days. didn't bother with watercooling for a long time,
and thanks to finding this channel I made a nice clear acryl tube dual radiator system in 2020,
and I still love the way it looks ^^
Same my build right now only has my cpu in the loop but my next update I'm gonna add my gpu

I just need Phil to put his face on screen every time Jay says "Fill port".
right?!?
I call it the Phil port. lol
EVERY time he says "fill port" I think "PHIL port"
Back into the caselabs case reminds me of the good old days. I’m hoping they still will pull through and start producing cases again like they said they will.
Yes they will, Swedish owner now
I've been looking and they only offer itx cases.
Reporting this account and the spam bot one🤡
One of the admins have said that using the CAD files is hell currently because they're having difficulties with finding where can they bent the metal to get the exact measurements.
@@facundootero7973 Can you post a link to this info? I'm not calling your bluff. I sincerely wanna read about it.
Spray some soapy water on the top fittings. If they're leaking, they'll make bubbles as you pressurize the loop.
drive your warship into an allie used to be so much fun it would piss your allies off so much
Pro tip on leak test:
Make a soapy mix in a spray bottle and spray around the suspecting leak spots. If it bubbles up, it's leaking air. :P
NOTE: Be careful, OBVIOUSLY.
Skunkworks builds are by far my favorite content. I have been watching since the very early days and I love this type of content...
I've used mystic fog for a while in a combined material loop, (the black EK hose and PETG), no issues whatsoever and no plasticiser ingress nothing.
This is looking INCREDIBLE! Might take the spot of my favorite JTC build.
That pause after "'we're going bigger with a 7 inch" LOL! Nice one.
Hey, have you ever tried to make one of those see-thru monitor panels as side panel, looks dope af and I think that will be the crown jewel👑 of skunkworks! Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪
Soap and water
Won't work in a black case with black interior...
@@FaySmash will work because the rgb will light it.
I think the crossover of the lines looks good. Nice work. Cool to see skunkworks coming back, has been a staple for so long and was sad to see it not be around.
Looks so industrial with the loop the way it is, which I think makes it look fantastic.
It's a dream to be able to set up a setup like this. I'll just keep the dream. Good job.
I am going to be using this as a guide to building my first water loop xD skunkworks is just nuts good stuff Jay!
yeah me to
The little things like not mixing tubes are really helpful cause I want an external rad for which I would use soft tubing, but in a case, hard tubing just looks better.
@chris_3729 yea, I've been between those options but I think I'm gonna go with hard tubing just because less chance of it moving or expanding and causing leaks and such
Spray soapy water on top of the reservoir plug so see if it bubbles. If it does then yes the plug without the o-ring is leaking.
When leak testing with air, if you dab some soapy water around the fittings with a paint brush, any leaks should blow bubbles.
Also, you can totally just spray soapy water around the suspect areas, then pressurize the system. You'll see bubbles.
The alphacool res actually has O-rings on the top. They are just recessed in the top of the res. I used the same alphacool res and when i put filled my loop with the squirt bottle i pulled the O-rings out. The just lay in there so you can just put them back in if that happens.
I came for the Skunkworks video but stayed for the World of Warships advert. Cracks me up every time.... "Jayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........"
Well done Jay. Get the Skunk done.
Watching this new skunkworks build really takes me back to when I first discovered your channel. Can’t wait to see the finished build!
One thing you could do to confirm that those top fittings are the point of failure for pressure testing is use putty around the edges of the fittings. That should create enough of a seal to prevent the leak and confirm your loop is good
If you put soapy water where you suspect there will be a leak when you pressure test the system, bubbles should start to form in that area
Oldschool leak test, mix a little washing up liquid with a little water and smear it on those plastic plugs, then look for bubbles when you fill it with air.
Hey Jay, When you're looking for a leak, you can put some dishwashing liquid on your finger and rub it around the fittings. When you pump air into the loop, it will bubble at the leak.
Skunkworks was the ultimate PC that brought me to this channel Many years ago, When custom water cooled PCs was just beginning and Jayztwocents was the wizard. I remember how guys would build their customer PCs and leave then overnight for leak test. Good old days.....
Jay just pressurize the loop and get a soft brush and paper towel. apply pressure, and brush each connection looking for where the bubbles pop up.
Then quickly hit the connection with a paper towel so no moisture lingers where it's not needed.
Jay, if I may offer some unsolicited advice, I recommend you get a Mini-Split AC system for your gaming room (and every room in your house for that matter). I just had one installed in my room a couple months ago and it's life changing. I can have my room at 63 degrees even when it's 120+ degrees outside (I live near Palm Springs in California).
They're more energy efficient and you can independently control the temperature of where the room where it's installed. You can keep the Central AC at a higher temperature like 80, and set the Mini-Split in your room to 65 or whatever you want.
@10:14 Jay, I highly recommend the flat USB 3.0 extension cables, they are much less bulky and are easier to work with. Plus because they lay flat, they look cleaner too.
EPDM (what EK, Alphacool, Heatkiller etc. use in their matte black tubing) doesn't have any plasticizer in it, and is used in industrial applications because it has EXCELLENT chemical resistance and good temperature resistance. The only drawback is resistance to petroleum oils, which isn't really a concern for pc cooling. And that it isn't transparent of course. It doesn't leach or react with the coolant whatsoever like PVC tubing do, so I would definitely use something like that in the bottom compartment for maintenance purposes. @16:38
it's beautifull !
And yeah, you should go with hard tubing in the bottom compartment to avoid all the weird problems that come with soft tubing :x
You can rub some soapy water around the fittings when pumping air. It will bubble where it leaks
For something like this with the leak down test failing. You should see if you can use a smoke machine like we use in the automotive world to find vacuum leaks.
Jay, you work on cars. What do we do when we have a vacuum leak? Use a smoke machine to find the leak! You got this
You can spray soapy water around the top fitting of the reservoir and see if it bubbles. It's probably the easiest way to locate a leak without filling it up.
You could put a couple drops of water on top of the EK fittings, then pump up the loop. If there's air escaping from them it'll bubble.
Jay you could always take a few drops of soapy water and put it on the top of the pump where you think it’s leaking. When pressurized the leak will cause the soap water to bubble and you can double check that’s for sure where it’s coming from and not your loop.
If the fluid has a noticeable movement effect I think it would look neat to have the distro plate go from the pump towards the middle, then down, up the back of the plate to have the fluid move to the middle as well, then down and back up the gpu. Radiators can go where they best fit when the fluid goes under the distro plate. Though it would possibly make the basement very crowded
I think it will never be done, but the journey has always been a pleasure so far 😍
I personally like the separation in the distro plate @15:58 - This gives you the option to use 2 different colors of coolant in you build. This way you can have Green for the CPU and Blue for the GPU (or whatever) and they each have their own reservoir, they both run through the same distro plate and it gives you a cool effect of 1 color in each side.
Those pumps do have an o-ring they are recessed in the pump top and the plastic fitting goes into them tho they stay in the pump top most of the time but can be removed with the plastic fittings at times.
It's always a good day when after a hard days work I come home, crack open a beer, open RUclips and this is the first video in my list. It's looking great Jay. Thanks for the quality video as usual Phil.
Just put some soapy water on top of the plastic plugs and look for bubbles when you pressurize the loop. That will show where the air is leaking out.
ZMT does not use plasticizers, because it is EPDM. Completely different from your standard soft tubing.
So, no: it will not leach and make it look darker
Yeah, Jay took my suggestion of using the air blower to drain the loop. I would bet I am not the only one who suggested it but glad to see it worked. If you have a small wet-dry vac you could use the suction side and have a really clean way to drain the loop.
It's coming along nicely
Would absolutely recommend 90° USB 3.0 Connectors, got one for myself because i ran into the smae issue :D
They also look much cleaner.
Or you get those 3.0 to 3.0 Connectors with soft cables, almost look sleeved.
Listening to Jay while doing other things and hearing him grunt while fixing/setting up the computer is absolute gold XD
That's some good looking loop right there! Maybe you could put a little something on top of the right reservoir? Like a mini figurine sitting on top the tank? Or some 3D printed sign in front of the tank? That top right area is feeling a bit empty compare to the white loop every where. Or maybe add some dummy tube in going for a industrial-ty look?
Still the best case ever made. I have a SM8, but would kill to get my hands on an SMA8. Even without a basement I still love my case.
I'm using EK ZMT with Mystic Fog and its 100% fine. EPDM is different from other soft tubing, no plasticizer or anything like that.
the frosted tubes look epic. love it!
These USB connectors are always super fun to work with 😄
It’s so relatable to watch you build a computer, I love it 😄
That'd look sweet if it was two separate loops, one res with red and one with blue for health and mana
Did you watch the video?
Wut, they are two separate loops lol
Watching Jay struggle to slot the GPU made me feel better. Built many computers but it never goes in as easy as so many content creators make it look.
I've used that same blower to drain an individual radiator, but never thought about using it for the rest of the loop.
Quick thought on the gpu loop: you were saying you don’t want the return line from gpu to have a double bend and hug the distro plate because water won’t want to get out of there and it would catch.. but you could still flip that 90° exit from the gpu to the bottom side and run the tube across just like you have it now, just lower. Coming out from the 90° won’t position the straight part directly across the other fittings and block the drain at all, might even look a little cleaner
You an spray soap water on the areas you suspect to leak to see bubbles on leakage. You could also glue in those plugs to seal them.
looking awesome so far, the frosted ring around the fans goes soooo well with the tubing!!!
You could have put some soapy water on those top fittings to test it while pressurized, it would have made bubbles. You probably also could have put tape over them to help test.
Incredible build, love watching you work.
Soapy water is great for finding leaks, just need one droplet on the suspect area :)
when jay finally finishes this build and powers it on
bet there is a hello old friend feel to it .
I don't know if this will help you but in my system I used mystic fog for 7 months before it fell out due to heat from my pump dying but I had clear soft tubing from corsair and didn't have any issues other than when the pump died. Skunkworks looks great and i am glad to see you using that case again.
Very Nice system! You could use a smoke machine to check for leaks or pump air back in and use soapy water to find leak. Just wiping in fitting is enough to see a bubbles thus finding the leak.
Can't wait for the new company to get around to making the SMA8 again. Beautiful case
You can dry test for leaks with a little soapy water on the fitting you suspect, if it bubbles then you found the leak!
Beautiful computer. I just built a new one myself with a Corsair H150i capellix Elite XT. I don't have the deep enough pockets for true water cooling.
perhaps brush a little soapy water over the top of the fittings on the res before pressure testing. If its leaking it will bubble, allowing you to perhaps tape them off for retesting, should be enough to hold for a test at least
I love the water cooled PC builds! This and all the funny just for science videos!
I have had mystic fog running on soft tubing full water cooled system for 6 months with no issues
Honestly the crossing tubes isn't that bad looking, I think that it incorporates a sorta over-the-top computer build very well in the way that the loop has that sorta "circuit look" that you said it had which is kinda the point of skunkworks and I think that crossing the tubes helps it give the computer a more industrial look like there is a lot going on while still looking clean, really gives you something to look at. A piece of art truly.
I run mystic fog in my loop and i have not had any of the common issues one might have with fluids. I have noticed that it has stained and or eroded away the nickel more than i would expect for the maybe year plus ive run it. Whatever EK uses as a suspension agent seems to be rock solid.
Edit: my loop has a very small, just a few inches, length of some of EK's black tubing and I have not had any issues with leeching
Damn what a ballin build. Loved the clean industrial look, like a brand new machine or something. Well done.
I've been using Mystic Fog in my loop for almost two years now (with one change and system clean) with no issues or build up so far. It's been very stable and consistent in terms of its makeup/composition.
It looks great, really like the industrial feel. Have you considered using a laser level to check that your tubes are parallel? Using one on the lower horizontal tube and then adjusting height to meet one above would let you know if the loops are parallel or not. Tough to tell with curved bends in the line, it might help. Just a thought ...
Loving this! The satin and the frosted tubes look great! Will be interested to see how "loud" this is versus temps with all the fans. Cheers!
I like the crossed tubes , don’t work most times but that’s tasteful
Took the words right out of my mouth with what it looked like 😂
The inner dialog at 10:38 is so damn accurate 😂
I've missed the skunkwerks builds. Makes me miss my caselabs.
Little spray of soapy water on top there would tell you where the air is coming from. Refrigeration Technologies RT175B Big Blu Brush On MicroLeak Detector Blue is a good choice for commercial product, and soapy water would work. 🤠👍
5:00
FINALLY someone not breathing inside the loop
Looks awesome! It would be great if you could do a more reasonable hard tubing loop in a constrained space (Small/medium form factor). Wonder how that looks.
Jay! I had the same thing with my pump (exact same one) it was the actual gasket for the glass tube not sitting properly from factory! Take apart the glass part and try it!
The Lian Li V3000 plus definetily modeled the SMA8 which is what I'm about to start my newest build in. thanks for some ideas Jay!
Jay drained the loop the same way i do ,i have the higher wattage blower but it doesn't completely clear the loop and generally pushes stuff out the rads into the blocks so i have too clean the blocks after as well.
Your eye is wack, Jay, the front line is canted down. I like how nothing overwhelms and there is still so much going on. Looking forward to seeing this fired up.
looks great i think when i drain my loop ill go withthe sattin tubing. using that fluid my self and its been holding up well for about 4 to 5 months now. some resedue from an evaporation line but thats it.
It's so funny to me how the 4090 is such a beast of a card, and in the standard (air-cooled heatsink) configuration it's like the biggest GPU ever made, but as soon as you take the heatsink/air cooler off of it and slap a water block on, it looks tiny AF. Just a testament to how much heat dissipation the stock heatsink does and how efficient water cooling can be, I guess.
Can't wait to see the end result of skunk works been a fan ever since the very beginning of it. Your bills are great and they also look classy without looking tacky. Best wishes and thank you for the father advice on RTFM
I always watch JayzTwoCents before looking at any daily news, then after the news I come back and watch another episode if JTC, it's my real world reality therapy.
Thanks Jay 🙏🏼👍🏼
Hey Jay, we use a soapy water solution to check for pneumatic leaks in my industry. It doesn't take a lot to make bubbles, even a small leak will make bubbles. Could be helpful to check those top lugs. Awesome build BTW. Really enjoy the builds.
That’s why you use a custom Distro instead of the ready ones
Also, mixing hard tube with ZMT is a non issue. It does not leak plasticiser like the sucky clear tubing
I'll keep saying it, captains hat looks amazing on Jay. Genuinely great halloween costume idea, looks like Nimitz's nephew lol.
Also get one of those flat USB 3.0 ribbon extension cables for the USB 3.0s. It barely affects speeds (from what I've seen so far with my aliexpress one) in real life scenarios (unless you depend on external drives, which you still get better speeds from rear IOs or through USB-C) and it is such a QoL improvement for building neat looking PC cable management. You lose shielding on those 10-ish cm but I never really seen anyone benefiting from it myself... just worth mentioning I guess. And still, if your equipment relies on shielded connection you should still use a rear IO since the connector itself is not sheilded...
The Alpha Cool black plastic plugs have flat o-rings recessed down in the reservoir that they seal against. Be careful when removing the plugs that the o-ring doesn't come out without you realizing.
Looks good just leave it alone fired up !👍
I whoud use the distro plate for each loop becous it has 2 sections and maybe use 2 diferent colers for the fluid thad woud be sick
looking good, the pipes looks very simple elegant give a open feel.
Below the main m/b plug ,I suggest heating the end of plugs to bend them a bit, just a "Jayggestion" )
