As an aspiring professional colorist, the color grading on this video, as always, is top notch! The way you push the highlights, yet they never clip, is exceptional. Really accentuates the silver sparkle on the case. Great job making the green coolant pop, a visual feast.
You have no idea how helpful this is! My A4-H20 arrived yesterday and my EK x570i monoblock and special edition 3080ti waterblock should be here this week. After putting the psu and mobo in for a test fit last night I was wondering where the heck the tubing was gonna go. This is super helpful. Thanks so much and as always great job on the build!
@A Frosch 🐸 Would be messy and the gpu would be dumping alot of hot air into the case that would go into the 240 rad. I've found gpu and a cpu in the same loop isnt bad my pump is now locked at 1800rpm and fans at 1200rpm and its silent.
I've just completed my A4 H2O build with a full custom loop based off the Eisbaer LT solo and was able to fit TWO radiators. The typical 240mm up top, and In front of the 3080 Extreme Waterforce block fits an Alphacool Nexxous radiator from their server style series. It's a 45mm thick 2x60mm radiator and I'm having great thermal results at extended stress tests. It fits like a glove in the hole in front of the case. I'll laser cut a 3mm mesh grid on the front panel to match the side panels next week, but for now it runs without the front panel snapped in, but still looks great. System details: ROG strix z690i, i7-12700k. Aorus RTX3080 Extreme Waterforce 12gb, 32gb DDR5 Fury RAM, WD Black 2TB, Eisbaer LT 240 system with added 120x60x45mm radiator and all clear lines run inside the anti-kink springs. I'm using 2x Noctua NF-p12 redux 120mm fans 1700rpm, and 2x 6015 fans from amazon that sound very reasonable for 5000rpm. I know you've said that loop order really isn't a factor, but I put the smaller radiator between the i7 and RTX3080 just to keep things tame. I even added a leather handle to the entire build as a sort of tribute to the Loque Ghost premium look. This build was driven by necessity as I'm a professional product designer, but heavily inspired by Optimum Techs info and style of doing these SFF builds. I'm not a big social media/ youtube person, but if you'd like some photos or details, I'd love to share.
As a sucker for green this looks amazing just by the thumbnail! Finished the video, absoultely beautiful! and the noise levels are better than my Define R5 but that's on my HDDs
Hi Ali! Your videos and build are sooo clean and well made. Your videography is almost other wordly, thanks for these quality pieces of art. I'm sure my eyes and ears will be treated everytime I receive a notification from you. Thanks for the service :D (the 50 PC tips video was so clear, fast and on point)
I think this video is a testament to just how far ITX has come. Space efficiency, popularity, cost, and ease of building have all skyrocketed in the past few years for ITX components and PC's, and this build exemplifies that in so many ways.
That is an absolutely fantastic ITX build. The cinematography is amazing, in my opinion you and Hardware Canucks have the best B Roll in PC build videos.
Your videos are my late night content to calm down and enjoy. The estetics are just so pleasing. The build is awesome by the way. Looks super cool and its good to see that not every mini itx has to cramp a 3090 and a 12900k inside.
I never thought I'd be interested into small form factor, but your works are done so elegantly and giving me temptation. What an art you're performing, huge thanks for making such video!
After watching another one of these amazing itx builds from u, I’m determined that as soon as I get back to the US I will build an itx watercoolled system, love the content keep it up!
Wow, what a cool build. Awesome presentation too. Ya gotta admit this mini itx builds are climbing the list for my next build. Big props on the hard-line setup you got there, very inspiring. And the color accent is awesome, well done
This is it, time to take out my silver A4 H20 out of the box and replicate this build. Absolutely incredible, thank you for this inspiration Optimum Tech.
Amazing build, this is the first build I have seen you or any other techtuber put together that has genuinely piqued my interest in small PCs. You...are a genius
Ali is probably the tech youtuber with the best taste when doing videos, from the music chosen to the editing and how he takes care of every detail in the video ... he goes to 11!!!!!
Just finished my build in this case. Thanks for the bracket, design and testing the fitment on the fans! Would not have gone that way without your video. Almost wish I'd gone with hardline, as that would allow for some tighter bends.
i just finished my dan a4 h20 custom loop build with a 13900k and a 4080 super, thanks for the inspiration. its an insane pc and i am very happy with the result.
Ok... I'm not subscribed but see your vids coming by very regularly and every time I see your video's I'm so hugely impressed... Not only the builds or reviews you do which are of very high quality but also the quality of footage, sound, lighting... Everything... Even though I'm not a subscriber and more of an oppertunist-clicker on your video's I really want to say that I'm very impressed with your work. I'm a Photographer and videographer myself and know how much work and knowledge is involved in making content like this. You're a legend! Keep it up and the last thing I want to say: Great aspect ratio! Quite unique.
Just what I was looking for, in the thermal testing I’d love to see a water temperature measurement, but aside from that you’re videos are always awesome to watch.
High quality work as a rule! Both video and build. That's why we keep coming back. Myself being more of a minimalistic mATX format fan for ease and versatility I still enjoy your ITX builds and intelligent approach to cooling systems and everything a lot.
That is absolutely got to be one of, if not my favorite build I've ever seen. It's a shame with cover on it hides most of it. But guess you don't have to have it on. I now have a new goal build. Amazing
Man this looks absolutely dope. I just ordered a Formd T1 and I'm actually regretting it after seeing this... Have been wanting one for years, and when the A4-H20 dropped I almost went for it - damn this setup is CLEAN! Love the cinematography in this video.
Nice, doing this right now! Just waiting on my micro fittings. I have straight fittings on right now and tubes hanging out :) amd 5700x and Vega 64 Asus x570-i (have normal am4 block, thinking full motherboard block) Just about 300w Highest is 78c on cpu and 61c on hotspot gpu Room is 72-84f From my research the gpu has to be 240mm or less to fit with the flt80 ddc (my Vega is 268, so the front panel stays off until I hopefully upgrade this winter) Ok now to watch the video!
This Lian Li case may not have as nice of a machining / fitment tolerance as the FormD T1 but your immaculately clean build and choice of parts inside make this IMO your finest build to date.
I don't care much about PC (gaming) builds and all the garish nonsense that comes along with videos about the subject, but your videos are really from another dimension. Huge kudos for the subdued tone, the excellent technical info, the extremely well done cinematography and editing, and your all-around dedication to excellence. As someone who needs a powerful PC for work, not gaming, yet prefers subtle aesthetics and smart, compact use of space, you're really opened a new world for me. I've got a pc just like this one (minus full LC system) standing next to me right now! (PS would love to see some behind the scenes about actual lighting and filming of a video like this, something like Caleb pike from DSLR video Shooter does. I've learnt a lot from him.)
Omg I want this pc so bad like I'd almost change nothing. Which is rare for me with PC configurations. It's so clean with just the right amount of flare and that water block is downright gorgeous.
My first SFF build has been in the new A4 H2O and it's been nothing but bad luck so far, the case and parts have all been fantastic but I've had the misfortune of receiving faulty components after faulty components, or ones that were missing some hardware. I found that the fractal lumen S24 fits with the Strix 690-i in the A4 H2O without needing to be modified or having any sort of jank setup. Sadly it initially didn't come with the lga 1700 hardware so I had to have them send it in but they sent one for the wrong cooler and I needed to wait an extra week for it to arrive, next up the riser cable went bad and I had to have a new one shipped from Taiwan that took a month to get here, and lastly I had just gotten my hands on a evga 3080 and I got a bad card that I just RMA'd today. Your videos have been unbelievably helpful when it came to building this pc, I'm just a little heart broken that was my first experience building an SFF pc that was otherwise pretty well planned out thanks the the videos and advice you have given us all.
Amazing work! Thank your for sharing! Fantastic visuals on the PC and video! Argus monitor is such an underdog. Yes it has payed license, but i have never been happier with such software. At some point it could use the temp of the NZXT Kraken Liquid, but that option somehow disappeared yesterday haha
Man I wish you had your own build company. Hot damn your builds are outstanding and unmatched in the SFF space. There are so many builds you've done I'd love to own and throw money at.
I didn't think it was possible for you to top your cinematic game but you continue to prove me wrong! Incredible work as always, Ali!

what's a professional colorist
@@spryte4371 someone who does color grading when an offline edit is locked
@@GPAnims ohhh ight ty ty
I got a feeling that it isn't completely just about the ability to "push the highlights" but also in the fact that his shot was properly exposed 🤔
sounds like a cheap job to aspire to

Don’t you just love well-timed video releases just when you need it?
What cpu are you running? A 240 rad is most likely not going to be enough for anything more than maybe a 12600k

@@Anticytizen good luck. Make sure you have a way to check fluid temperature. Higher than 50C will kill your pump pretty quick
That is just a work of art. I love SFF builds. And you’re one of the few builders that just makes them right!

Seconded! I’d really like to see your build as I’ve been obsessed looking at SFF builds recently.
Yeah, please share!
I'm very intrigued with the additional radiator. If you could provide pics that would be amazing!
Please share!
Beautiful build mate!
Your production quality is INCREDIBLE, in all aspects.

Love the amazing work! Optimum never fails to bring the best content to ITX community👍👏
the beginning of the video might actually be the best 30 seconds of video I have ever watched
The cinematic shots are just sooo good! Keep up this incredible work.
The design of the thumbnail is incredible! Your splatter is perfect and the bolts add some texture… incredible work!
That is an absolutely fantastic ITX build. The cinematography is amazing, in my opinion you and Hardware Canucks have the best B Roll in PC build videos.
Always love the attention to detail with how precise the Audio examples are and how good they look, Keep it up OT!

The toxic waste green makes this build pop! Great work as always, Ali.
Out of all tech RUclipsrs, you are the only one who has a proper taste.
I love your builds, they always look so clean and perfect.
The day i started watching this channel and since today, i have noticed the content quality just keeps getting better and better.
Super clean build! The ek gpu water block looks amazing here, 10/10 aesthetics
Man this PC is such a beautiful no cap and build like a champ as well well done man and video quality is top notch
Honestly, I was looking forward to this video. This build looks amazing.
I watch a lot of custom build channels, this pc is a dream machine. Absolutely stunning and incredible quality.
I never thought I'd be interested into small form factor, but your works are done so elegantly and giving me temptation.
What an art you're performing, huge thanks for making such video!
Your camera and editing work are immaculate. Love these build vids!
the quality of the video is so pleasing to the eye...damnn
You're itx builds are next level homie
After watching another one of these amazing itx builds from u, I’m determined that as soon as I get back to the US I will build an itx watercoolled system, love the content keep it up!
this three's colors ( silver, black and green ) look incredible they compliment each other and the touch of green light looks mesmerizing.
New upload of yours are always joys to the world.
One of my favorite builds from you, love it.
Been waiting for another vid like this from you!
Wow, what a cool build. Awesome presentation too. Ya gotta admit this mini itx builds are climbing the list for my next build. Big props on the hard-line setup you got there, very inspiring. And the color accent is awesome, well done
I’ve been waiting for this build from you, did not disappoint.
This is it, time to take out my silver A4 H20 out of the box and replicate this build. Absolutely incredible, thank you for this inspiration Optimum Tech.
heck yes, this is the video i've been waiting patiently for sooo long!

Amazing Work, The work behind this build is impressive.
looks incredible, you're definitely getting better with every build and it shows
Awesome video. Camera quality and narration makes it very enjoyable
Thats why i love small form factor builds, they are absolutly stunning.
Very nice. This is the stuff I came here to see :D
I opted for a Q58 to be able to fit the tried and true HWLabs 280 in it for some extra grunt.
i just finished my dan a4 h20 custom loop build with a 13900k and a 4080 super, thanks for the inspiration. its an insane pc and i am very happy with the result.
Just got this case. Its my favorite ITX build to date. So simple. No LED/RGB BS. The top exhaust air gets a bit toasty under heavy load.

Get some clear acrylic and a Dremel drill and make your own clear side panel and enjoy the view....
That's gorgeous. As a kid who grew up LOVING TMNT and especially the Green Ooze this invokes that aesthetic perfectly.
god damn, another incredible build! love seeing you upload!

What a dreamy PC! I've dreamed of having one like this for so long. Awesome work!
Astounding production quality
My most favorite PC things channel. Great work.
This exactly is what I always anticipated what the perfect mITX PC looks like. Thank you.
Best channel for PC build hands down. No BS, straight info

Love the video 🥰, love the builds 🥰, love the production quality 🥰🤯👍🫠
Bro is buffed af, pursue all his passions and make hella clean vids. He's at the end game
As usual, great build and camera work geesh! I would like to attempt this one day
As always Ali ist a Master of SFF Liquid Dream PCs, incredible! 🥳🥰
