Awesome video Jay! If/when you do a build, we'd be happy to make up some custom copper pipework for you to complete the steampunk look. Much love ✌
This would be amazing. Hope you saw the video from gamers nexus analysing the temperatures!
Man that’s awesome!
Watched the GAMER'S NEXUS review...
Very impressive stuff guys ! And I think it's awesome you reached out to make up the custom pipework. Hope Jay takes you up on that as I think it would look stunning !
@@notrixamoris3318 So did I before I came over here. They had some positive comments and really want to see what Jay comes up with.
We definitely want to see a full build with this!
In that case that Jay demo'd last week. The full metal box one.
The one on the bench behind Jay @8:25
@17:30 AWWW!!!!!! Dang it.......
Now 4 minutes into this video 🎥. But because @petert3355 - has peaked my interest 🤔. I have to turn to @8:25 in the video. I just love ❤️ reading the comments. As I watch the video 📹..
Dam you are right on the money 💰. This has to go. Inside that case on his work bench..
Agreed
The build he described with copper tubes would be end game unreal. Let's hope it happens!
I'd love to see a copper build, even if it'll be a 20 episode series 😃
Project Binky has entered the chat.
I can't imagine how expensive that would be if it was actual copper and not just copper coloured matching bits.
@@TalesOfWar , the prototype cooler that Linus had was $8000 , but that's including research and development for that single block.
In that video Linus estimated that a block like that would cost $800 in materials.
First episode would be mining and smelting the copper ore.
Should be done by 2036
5:22 is the moment you want to repeat over and over.
That sound was amazing. Proper impact, right there. The moment Jay realizes what he just did is just as good, of course.
That sound better pop up in future videos.
@@cmdrpickles I want to sample it and use it in a song.
Pies lesu Domine, *whack* dona eis requiem, *whack*
@@auturgicflosculator2183 That's what I saw in my head, too. Imagine a whole group of Jays doing that chant and using the copper plate for the whack. Phil is dying in the background.
@@creativeheadroom 😂
Of anyone that Billet Labs could have collaborated with, I have to say that I was hoping they'd have been able to do something with you in particular, Jay ❤
that's what i was thinking when the "other" video came out. this guy really has the appreciation of niche and interesting waterblocks
Totally agree. Jay actually appreciates the nicheness of the product and can provide an unbiased review without trashing the company. I totally stopped watching LTT after that debacle, especially after they doubled down and tried to justify their behavior.
The Billet Labs redemption with J2C!💪🙌
Watercooling Enthusiast and likely won't fuck it up for either shits and giggles or because couldn't be bothered to attach it to the right damn GPU... and won't auction it off.
Yeah, Jay's a great choice.
I agree. Anyway, Jay offered his help/collab intent to Billet Labs back when the whole LTT fiasco went down.
Either steampunk or nautical (think Jules Verne, 20k Leagues Nautilus with copper and dark oiled woods and green/blue/teal lighting) would work great for an awesome block like that.
Jay smacking himself in the head with the plate is the most Jay thing I've seen 😂😂😂
You should absolutely do the steampunk build with analog pressure, temperature, and flow gauges. Sure, it would be overkill, and pressure isn't exactly a needed measurement, but that could be made into one of the most beautiful builds in existence if it was done right - you're one of the few I can think of that would.
Just need 8 month to built it
Love the idea of a SteamPunk build using the Billet Labs MonoBlock, and all copper pipes!
Love to see a build with this, and how over a month of use it holds up… I think a steampunk theme idea would be insane with this open or closed… but to really make it pop I think a lot of bespoke extras like valves etc visual or functional would be lit
Oooh nice ❤❤❤
Too bad the steam punk movement was too big for what little vintage doodads were available, and people bought it all up in a frenzy! Now if you do find something that's not already in some steam punk art it may cost a crap load more than a sane person can justify.
I love how Jay works with smaller companies as well as large ones, and always seems to try and give help with both the exposure, and "this might be an issue" or a "this is great about X " with it.
Very, very nice to see Billet Labs again! 👍 As always, Jay is fair in assessing and commenting on the product. Looking forward to that steampunk build! Hopefully very soon!
The Asrock taichi line would be a good choice for the steampunk look. It has the gear theme already. Just have to paint the silver bits copper/gold to fit the color scheme. Also, The case should be an open frame design made from copper pipes too.
Not sure on the new models but the x570 taichi has bronze accent colors. While the B550 taichi took this a bit further and went full bronze on black.
@@thatfordboy4297 my x570 has bronze gear accents but silver plastic housings on the chipset and rear I/o. Those housings are the silver bits I was talking about that would need to get painted.
@@axiom_creative yeah, have the same board. X570 Taichi. If AM4 it would make total sense to go with the B550 taichi for it cuts out the silver. Really like the look of the B550 Taichi.
I don’t think they make any taichi boards in mini ITX or micro atx sadly 😢
@@silentcoyotecreations They don't.
You would be reliant on a neutral background. Like all jet black. To maintain such an aesthetic.
Great that you get a chance to review their kit.
They deserve it!
And yes, do steampunk. See how crazy you can get it within the mm2 of an SFF...
Impressive on the thermal pad. I use to assist in sourcing/buying of those, and they can be (depending on the type of thermal pad) can be $30~$75 PER SHEET that size. That was our "BULK" (thousands of sheets per order) price.
Copper isn't cheap...currently non-processed price is $3.75/kg TRADING price. Want Bar/Sheet/Plate? Jack that price. 1/8"x4"x24" plate is going for nearly $100. Now add in the machining costs? Yep...sky rocketing cost.
Honestly? $1000 for that setup is NOT bad. It is actually under the generally accepted prototyping costs we used in industry, and this is prototype style build. Pretty cool!
I bet we'll *NEVER* see Jay touch this block again on a steam.
Jay says he wants to build with it, that will *NEVER* happen.
Definitely do a steampunk build with this! It will look absolutely fantastic!
I'm waiting for Jay to show and do a build with the stealth water block where the tubes are hidden on the backside. Pretty wild and clean looking.
Definitely want "the year of builds 2024". My favorite videos here are builds.
That has a very “Summer of George” feel to it !!
I love the idea of this block. This is 100% a bespoke item, designed for a bespoke customer, and will sell maybe 100 or so of these over the lifetime of the product. I LOVE it, I can't WAIT to see your build Jay.. I hope you take it to the moon with steampunk or sci-fi, all the way man.. make it happen!!
Would love to see this block paired with that awesome looking NANOQ case. It would probably make it the heaviest SFF build ever!
I love this kind of content, and I think it should be a regular segment for you to find and cover small or niche companies and products like this.
This block combo is a very cool out of the box idea to be used in a very small box. Can’t wait to see what SFF builders can do with this. Thanks J for sharing this and for being respectful of this company and their products. 👍💯
i love how you guys clown in the middle of episodes. good chemistry. thanks for uploading despite everything going on. love u guys
I do hope 2024 is the year of builds. You do thoroughly enjoy building computers and have no problem sharing our same pains that come with it. You not only offer advice on gear but you offer solutions to problems as they present themselves. Your channel was the first I ever experienced back when I made my first build. You alone convinced me that I could actually build my own computer….and I did. That being said…I also hold you responsible for my ongoing PC building addiction. You make your builds fun while we ride your wake of knowledge. Other channels really have a hard time getting me excited to build as they seem much more serious and critical. Another RUclipsr I find equally fun is « Dawid Does Tech Stuff ». While I couldnˋt hope to afford the components you use I absolutely can live vicariously though you! You guys take me for the best ride and I thank you! Dream BIG for me/us!
The kit looks pretty damn nice. you could make a very nice build with it, Price isn't bad really. Full black components, copper tubes, clear coated copper cables.
Yes I want to see that build. I think it could be very different and interestingly separated from existing offerings. Do it! Have a good one mate.
Awesome, thanks Jay. Can't wait to see you build with this!
It's also that there's no point in polishing that plate until final install unless the polish and then wrap it, which is an extra layer of complexity. Something they may offer once they've figured out the formula. Maybe something like three options. Raw, tumbled, polished (based on other products of copper or aluminium or brass i've seen in the past). Honestly, i'd personally go for a tumbled finished. Relatively easy to clean. Super shine doesn't last unless you lacquer it. Tho raw is also a cool idea because you can let it oxidize. There's some pretty wicked pure copper PC cases out there with that effect.
This would go beautifully in a fractal ridge lots of room on top to put rads and i think the side panel wouldn't even need a cutout.
Edit after watching the full video.
I double down on fractal ridge for the steampunky look 😁😆
Love to see Jay's view on this as he is more understanding and open with this is a niche item etc.
love your channel, thank you for giving this little company the respect and true build it deserved! the other review i saw broke my heart as my older autistic brother is a 3d modeler and is just starting out!
I had a BFG hydro copper GTX 280 back in the day and that was a huge piece of solid copper! This product brings back so many good memories of my early water-cooling days! Definitely didn't pay close to half that price for GPU and copper water block but that was 2008 prices for you. Dang inflation 😭
The especially savage price is that the relative price of copper from 2007 until now is relatively unchanged. We actually saw a glut in the price of copper from 2010 to 2020, where after it crashed and recovered in 2008, it went on a downtrend for a few years, went up again due to the pandemic, and has been on the downtrend a bit again since 2022, with the price hovering around $3.75 a pound right now. It just shows how little of the cost of a block like this is the actual literal piece of copper. It really makes you wonder why prices on waterblocks are as high as they are, even after accounting for the cost of CnC mills and skiving machines (to make the block fins). It makes sense here due to all the custom work and the low volume, but how many blocks is EK selling? Corsair is moving blocks for half the price that perform almost as good. It just doesn't make sense to me but then I haven't looked at their insider data
@@TheOriginalFaxon
I brought a piece of copper to work for my coworker to machine for my water cooling project. He usually works on steel. He made quite a mess of it. Aperently copper is annoying to machine for various reasons like work hardening.
I remember the first time I drilled a hole in it, I didn't understand how the work hardening.. worked, and completely melted a brand new drill bit in half an inch.
@@compwiz00 lol that's wild, i would never have assumed that would be an issue to such a degree. Copper can be harder than steel or almost as soft as lead depending how it's annealed, and when you alloy it to make brass it'll go through armor rated for steel penetrators sometimes (if it doesn't explode into fragments first). I have just never heard of work hardening being an issue when machining it, but then I'm not a machinist.
Remember to return it 😂
ooh glad to see Billet Labs product get the respect it deserves, glad they reached out to you after the LTT farce, can't wait to see the full install :D
Hey Jay, I always enjoy your content and passion for the builds. Your videos were why I started to build my own PCs and have built several for others. I would definitely enjoy watching you do a themed build.
That cooler would look amazing in your EVGA carbon fibre open chassis
Also nice to hear billet labs not being shit on
Where had you heard them "shit on".
@@thatfordboy4297 linus
@@thatfordboy4297 I'm gonna assume they're talking about the LTT review of the Billit GPU monoblock. They installed it on a GPU it wasn't intended for use on, and then talked trash on the performance. Then the monoblock was "misplaced" and accidentally auctioned off at a convention. It was a whole thing and LTT got called out over it pretty heavily, so it's fairly common knowledge for LTT or Gamers Nexus viewers at this point. Jay has stayed understandably quiet about any of the drama.
@@techiefIve oh I know exactly what they were talking about. I don't think most people do though. If I recall outside of saying about the same thing Jay did. LTT really didn't have anything bad to say.
I am no LTT fan boy, I simply don't hate them either. Anyone who is actually interested in this product, got the info they needed from LTTs video. Wrong GPU or not. Though, in my opinion it is interesting that now 3090ti/4090 support is confirmed. Makes me wonder what billetlabs actually said, before ltts video, about gpu support.
Great representation of the information and the company, Jay! Upbeat and positive, with some useful suggestions to correct possible flaws. Seeing this in a Steampunk style of build would be impressive, as you and everyone else will get some experience with options for working with copper. The orientation and compacting of the CPU/GPU combination will create a couple of interesting mounting and support solutions for sure, but the options for reservoir and cooling can take this build to a whole new level. Looking forward to what you end up doing with this.
I love stuff like this. So many times i wish i had access to a cnc shop.
I'm so keen to see a steampunk open case build for this block! Regardless of *that* company and the drama, this product is super interesting and very cool even if it is super niche, and I absolutely love that you're doing something with them. Take care of yourself Jay, and know that we're going to support you even if you reduce your output pace and that as your health is more important than seeing a video every day or two mate!
That looks sexy, looks great for certain themes. Like the Steampunk theme you mentioned. I've personally been thinking about making a custom wooden case (itx) and this would also fit my idea as I am searching for copper accents, buttons, etc...
That’s not a water cooler, that a block of copper that happens to be usable as a water cooler.
im already in love with this, whoooaah that deserves a custom case built for that monoblock.
Its great to see you with a smile on your face Jay!
I assume Jay won't sell it in an auction
LMAAAOO auction!!*** not SELL!!! nononono badword nooo 🤣
That block is sick. Would love to see it in an actual build.
Yes STEAMPUNK build!!!!! and Billet Labs deserves some love ... this looks amazing
i too would love to see a steampunk/copper build. I personally like when you make the longer build series and we can be there almost every step of the way.
I want to see the build. Good bad whatever. Nice seeing a fledgling company. I am looking at doing a uber small build and think this would be awesome.
I really wish Billet Labs gets more attention and sales. This is actually interesting compared to everything else out there. i'd love to see and steam-punk build with this setup!
This cooler is very suitable for high-end motherboard characteristics where users can freely use RAM and VRMs with high forms.
It's great to see you always doing research on new devices. I last did it in 2013 when intel was still gen 4 haswell and I still use it until now and stopped because of financial limitations. But with your presence on youtube, my knowledge about computers is growing. I pray that soon I can get a computer with a newer generation. Thank you, stay healthy and God bless you, your family and your crew.
-Wien-
Yes, please. Do the build. Sounds awsome.
now auction it
A drama involving a certain RUclipsr that auctioned off property that wasn't rightfully theirs?
You mean the company who claimed that prototype was essential to their production but actually originally said LTT could keep it. But then asked for it back after they got butt hurt? Goddamn GN fanbois everywhere
@alexdavis9324 you have been on the internet too long time for a break. Sounds like you got butthurt over a comment hahaha😊
@@alexdavis9324you sound like a bit of a fan boy crybaby yourself there bud. Lolll
I love how he’s skipping over him using it on the wrong GPU and the emails of them asking for it back and being promised it was being shipped back before being given away, just to make his ‘point’.
@ignignxkt that's a fact. He didn't even use it on the correct gpu. The incompetence level was way high. That's why Steve at Gamers Nexus call out Linus on quite a few things that ltt was doing wrong.
Yes! Do that! This thing is so pretty, it Def needs a build.
Glad to see this block being correctly used. Would love to see a build
Billet Labs deserve all the love and support from our small group of pc lovers and enthusiasts.Period. I am very happy they are in business after that unethical trick LT pulled on them and i very happy with Jay who made this video.
Hoping for a kickass steampunk build in 2024 with this baby ,
Jay , wish you all the best for the health issues you are dealing with. Get well soon man.
Happy new year, cheers.
Dang, this was way better and more informative than other RUclips channels that have reviewed a product like this. It was objectively reviewed and wasn't auctioned off without permission too. Nice!
Some time back I purchased their threaded sweat on sittings and they’re great. 👍🏻
Outrageous look! I can't wait to see what you can build with that. It should be awesome.
It was too big to be called a Water Block. Massive , thick, heavy, and far too industrial.
Indeed, it was a heap of raw copper.
This reminds me of the block by that company that Linus tried to destroy
Would definitely like to see a full on copper pipe build, sweating copper is truly a dying art, especially a polished one. id even like to sweat the pipes ! I hope you do, just like with any other soldering project, clean joints and flux is your friend.
Love your vids Jay, keep them coming!
After how LTT screwed up with their prototype, they should've have gone to you for reviewing this product!
Also I personally would've liked to see a build with this, especially with a high-pressure cooling solution. LTT has their thing (I forgot what's it called) but they butchered the whole review so that's not gonna happen.
Is this the block that LTT bashed then auctioned off without approval from Billet?
I don’t think it’s the same one but similar? Same company atleast
Definatly want to see a full build with this wow.
I hope they never deal with Linus again.
Why would people buy this?
AWESOME thanks for the content Jay
This would be awesome to see in a full copper build. (copper pipes and copper fittings) Absolutely beautiful piece.
I immediately thought right at the beginning when reading the title is "Hopefully Jay doesn't sell this industrial block like that scumbag Linus".
Honestly soo excited for a build w this!
soooo cool.... love you jay! God bless you always!
I've been dreaming of doing a glass and copper steam punk laboratory theme build for a while saw this and now I freaking have to do one.
Great 1st look that build sounds great and look really good.
I cant wait you build with that block, it will be awesome.
I love the ongoing, not really gag, but the explosion every time ifixit is mentioned.
That thing is a work of art! Love what they did 👍, very cool
Bro this is the build we want to watch!!!
Yes Jay!! We need more builds! There has been alot of great info and “tips’n’tricks”! But time to get back to some more builds. !! You can always throw in a little “update” on the pc world now and then! But more dream builds!! 🤩🙏🏼 - kind regards from Denmark!
I 1000% want a steam punk build, that would be amazing - good fair coverage of the unit to! Well done guys!
Go for it J love to see that build
Hope you're keeping well Jay!
This is a very different sort of thing and I love it. If the code of the hacker is beautiful, so too is the engineering and workmanship.
I'm excited to see a copper build. It's gonna be fun in 2024 if you're planning on making more builds. Go Jay!
Cant wait for Jayz to do justice for these parts. It needs it.
Do it! An open mini itx build sounds awesome with this block.
Jay going full DIY Perks with all the copper there...Sounds like a great build!
Steam Punk build would be awesome, That block would look amazing with full copper pipes
Definitely want to see that build
I absolutely want to see a steam punk brass and copper build done with this gear! Bring it on
Definitely interested in drooling over a finished steampunk build!
That is some heavy Metal! Very nice! Would love to see a build with this with the steam punk theme!
Looks beautiful. You gotta build with it.
100% support copper piping build. That sounds awesome
Oh Jay please do a build with that block! The most important thing about soldering copper tube is to clean it well before you tin them. Then put the elbows on and heat the the elbows to join the pieces together.
A Jay build with this would be mind melting. I want to see a copper tube steam punk build so bad now
Excited to see the temps on this
Free standing on the copper pipes!!!! H*ll yea man!!!! Got the creative juices flowing!!! Really wish I could build a unit that I can dream up like this!! Keep up the great content n awesome info
