are you tired of getting tangled up and the struggles of custom water cooling is it just too hard do you wish there was an easier way well stay tuned for the following sponsored message from fractal design you know I think I just stuff in your foot okay you know I don't think water cooling is really all that hard hi I'm James P Fenn master water cooler and I'm Josh from fractal design now we're going to go head and talk today about the Celsius s 36 and some of its expandability properties and show you that know you can have some custom cooling without all the headaches that's right it's not that hard even NIC can do it now obviously I would prefer custom water cooling but Josh maybe you could tell the audience a little bit about the Celsius s 36 expandability and why they might consider this that's a very good point Jay I'm glad that you brought it up you know liquid cooling especially open-loop can be very intimidating there's fittings there's blocks there's pumps and reservoirs and all those sorts of things and you know it can be kind of hard to figure out exactly what you need so some people want to start off on a simple solution you know a I actually have one of those ready to go right here that we kind of assembled off-camera before we started today you're always prepared Jay how do the boys down but you know to be very intimidating to start your own open-loop build some people want to start and then have the system grow with them and what selfie fest 36 or s 24 you can do just that now we actually did a video earlier about how to install this so if you guys want to start there go and check out that video but the focus today is showing you just how easy you can actually open this up and add some parts to it so what do you say we get started it sounds like a great idea Jay so what we're going to do today is we're going to take this average PC you might find in typical home at air-cooled on the cpu who's got an air-cooled GPU and we're going to convert this over to awesome by using this guy right here so what do we need to do to actually get started I'm glad you asked Jay we could start with how about a reservoir okay we're going to need something to put fluid in and make it easier to bleed so we got one of those sounds great graphics card grab this card absolutely otherwise what's the point of expanding it so there's our GPU what do you think what's next well we need a way to connect all this together right so how about some fittings I always carry around fittings in my pocket oh it's a need to have without it okay what are we missing her from I'm tubing oh yes absolutely we got some of that right here again about tools we mean tools wise ah maybe a wrench okay where do we need a wrench oh we want to loosen the fittings and tighten them up securely got one of those right here whether we need ah a screwdriver perhaps Oh got one of those too funny okay um something to cut the tubing scissors yeah what's the first thing we have to do that we've got our tools and our parts I'm glad you asked the first step is we're going to drain the current radiator that way we make room for our expansion don't you mean we can't just reuse the fluid that's dirty in there you could reuse the fluid but there's not going to be enough since we're expanding we're going to have more surface area more tubing lengths so we want to make sure that it's completely full so we don't have any nasty air pockets in it so then we're actually missing something cooling I'll get it I'll be right back ah there we go I don't do right there now the fluids that we're using right here is actually a fluid that's designed for mixed metals like aluminum and coppers and nickel so you want to make sure any fluid that you use is going to have some sort of corrosion inhibitor that's probably most important thing moving forward okay we've got everything now we need to start draining this rig what do you think we should maybe get someone who's not involved or used to this to try this to see how easy it is I think they'd be great with you being the wonderful super supreme master liquid cooler that you are things like this are always gonna be easy for you yeah they wish to grab somebody from the audience if anybody out there wants to try and show just how easy it is show of hands show of hands out there Oh let's keep looking anybody out there oh there's a lot of people interested Jake hey how about you with the blue hair ah okay so you have never done anything like this before never never okay well here's we're going to we're going to go ahead and get you to we need something to actually put the fluid in right yeah wonky okay we got a bucket there okay are you going to do is you take these pliers and you're just going to loosen this fitting right here now does it matter which tube they actually remove yes actually what we want to do is the pwm cable runs through this tube right here the tube on the right and we want to keep that there so you can still have your fan hub working so the pump can communicate with the fans give you the best possible cooling and that's also the outlet from the pump courage is knowing exactly so when you're running someone's out of a bore into a pump we want to make sure we're getting fresh cool water coming in through the inlet so we are going to remove the inlet to okay and what I want you to do is take the pliers put them on the grooves of the fitting right there and just give that a little turn to the left so that's loose there you go just like that now we've basically the easiest part to do next just do it by hand if you hold this upright you won't get as much fluid spill but you want to use a bucket or something underneath that way you don't get too much of it falling down on your workspace okay now that you got that loose go ahead and just take it all the way off there ya go gonna hold the pump up everything mmm I can smell the intake okay okay it looks like we have all the fluid drained out of the radiator that wasn't too hard was about oh no no hard at all okay Jay what should be the next step well you know this is the part where you probably want to plan out your loop now it doesn't matter if it's an AI o that you're expanding or it's a custom loop the only thing that truly matters in terms of order is that your reservoir is directly feeding your pump so this is the tube right here whether we keep the tube or take it off we're going to connect that to our reservoir and then the rest we can just kind of plan based on what is ascetically pleasing sounds good should we go to the case let's do it okay so let's hear a round of applause for our sister Anna thank you very much now I've gone ahead and taken all of the air cooled parts out of the system prepared for our installation here now what it actually supported like what CPUs can we use with it actually you can use all the latest and greatest CPUs including AMD's new rising process oh cool so have no problems attaching to our m4 socket here with our rising 1700 X that's correct the bracket extra chips in the box that's right rising support out of the box as some people have already noted the tubing doesn't actually remove from the pump way of that it's for added durability Jay okay so we've got our inlet tube right here loose from the radiator we're going to have our tubing basically the route is going to go reservoir to pump pump to radiator radiator to GPU which we have to connect the tubing and a GPU back to the reservoir so I'm going to easy enough okay let's go and start by well if for a graphics card in first it sounds like a good idea now because we just drain this system there's going to be some residual moisture right few drips we don't want that happening inside of our case so I'm going to go ahead and just add the tubing to the radiator now and get that lock down that way any drips that might occur can just go ahead and well not hurt our component now that's the standard G quarter thread right yeah it is but the only thing you have to be mindful of is making sure that the sizing of your tubing and your fittings are the same now we're going to be going with a soft tubing here because well we have to retain our soft tubing right here at the pump so you couldn't technically do a rigid portion of this loop it just makes more sense to use some sort of a soft tubing so now we've got our tubing on there we're not worried about any drips inside the system I'm going to go ahead and mount the radiator in place now I want to put the tubing in the front I find that there's more clearance doing it that way and I just it's just more of a preference we you can do this however you want but yeah this is pretty much me one of those things that is purely at your discretion now while J finishes putting the last screw on the radiator I'll go ahead and get to the reservoir that's next item you want to install correct jack absolutely now the nice thing about the define as is it actually has integrated reservoir mounts right on the backside of the case including brackets if you need them now I'm just going to use the bracket direction included with the reservoir that I'm using right here but she definitely has some flexibility if you need it now while J does that one of the important things about the to finance the fact that you do not have to get your reservoir mount perfect the first time as he honestly did not and as we can see Jay is finishing mounting the CPU block on the am for socket and E rising processor what next Jack well you know we're not that far from actually being done we're going to go ahead and we're going to take the tubing here coming out of the reservoir or the radiator and we're just kind of think about order here and like I said the only it really matters is that our reservoir it's beating our pump now obviously it looks a little bit off access there in terms of height but we'll talk about how to combat that in a second so the way the order is going to be in this loop is it's going to go from reservoir to CPU pump CPU pump to radiator radiator to GPU and GPU back to the reservoir now one of the things that you'll notice is that the standard tubing length on the Celsius units is ample enough to reach almost any mounting location inside the case it's actually pretty long alright it looks like we got our tubing in there and well everything's hooked up now look at that well that's great J but what are the paper columns for like I went the blood off the reservoir I bled on it really great Patrol well the fittings are sharp okay I bleed in every building I'm here myself because we've actually opened up this kit and now we put some parts together leeks are always a chance minimal chance but it's possible so what we're going to do next is we're going to line some of the components that we've just put together with paper towels nearby so that we can check for leaks sounds great does that make it easier to identify the leaks or just to soak up the liquid or how does that work actually both you can identify where the leak is coming from and if you have a colored fluid it actually makes it easier to spot on the paper towel now there's actually another device we like to use which is just a 24-pin PSU jumper so that we don't have to turn on the whole system but just the power supply to get the pump going so that we can actually start to get our filling and our testing which I think we should do next sounds great we got some fluid in there everything seems tight we're not seeing any leaks I think it looks pretty good consuming the fact that it's an a i/o turned into a custom loop well I agree it does look pretty good J but I'm no expert here I just don't see how that water is going to make it into the pump you know that's a very astute observation Josh because he's right you do have to have the reservoir higher than the pump to be able to feed it in priming the system now there's two things you can do you can actually rotate the case like this and get the reservoir higher than the pump and it's easier to prime that way or we're going to do today is we're just going to lay the case flat on its back we're going to unhook our reservoir from the bracket and because we have flex tubing we can actually just hold it upright which is going to give us the height that we need well as you can see Josh we've got everything together we've got our fluid in there the lines of blood I've even added a little bit of blue dye for that fractal design touch everything staying nice and cool the CPU are 1700 X is sitting at right around 55 C under load and our GP right now which is a GTX 1080 under stress test is sitting at a comfortable 47 C not that I think that is pretty impressive but you know you shouldn't take our word for it can we get a member of the audience up here to put their hand on and tell Sarang how about you come on up sorry okay what stairs okay you're good hey Kyle should I get right on in there oh that's so cool so cool well I think that about wraps it up today thank you for joining us Josh is there anything you'd like to leave with our audience members here before you go well Jay I think you did a great job expanding the loop and I think it just goes to show that you can start with something simple like an AI oh and let it grow with you and come up with something like this and you know at first I was kind of like I don't know about the black tube but I kind of liked the fact that we have two different colors here one for the CPU and one for the GPU get a little bit of that custom touch very minimalistic all right well guys thanks for watching today's video obviously we're just having a little bit of fun kind of poking at that whole infomercial thing but honestly this is something take worth taking a look at the 360 you handle GPU no problems and it doesn't really cost the time that said thanks for watching we'll see you in the next one while supplies last the blood sacrifices must be made oops is gluing don't look at me like that
