today we're gonna finish up this piece of crap do you want to be cooler do you want to be more desirable you know what guys I got new merch it's available now have me calm /jc sense we got zip up hoodies we got tri-blend we got a new logo I digress since 2012 but the rest logo you guys been asking for that anyway well guys little bit uh well kinda stuff zip up hoodies beanies polos don't take my word for it cuz obviously I can't do this edie so just look in the description below and you guys will find the link Thanks so this will probably end up being one of those montage you type videos so there's couple things I want to I guess answer from the comments section of the previous part of this video I showed you guys how I'm using the cross flow ride up top because it's also working as both a reservoir and a fill and a drain section and will show you how I'm gonna do that right now because I still have all the distilled water in here for my proof of concept that the loop would work the pump did not as I showed you guys just didn't have enough power but fortunately my good buddy is over at performance pcs stepped in and sent me the Swift tech apogee to our apogee drive 2 which is basically what Swift tech did here was they took a laying DDC pump they shoved it on top but one of their copper blocks and put a heatsink on top it should clear the components I'm still worried about these guys right here on the side that stick out so we're gonna do best we can hope it works jeez I hope it works but I digress that's besides the point it should work if my calculations are correct which they never really are so that doesn't mean yet this should fit in there but unfortunately to mount this I've got to take the whole thing apart because I've got to drain it and I've got to remember to peel that off also had to take the motherboard out anyway or at least mostly because I have to install my m2 because remember this was just a temporary mock-up so just like any other reservoir to get the the loop drained you've got to have air in vs air out so if you've got coolant coming out you have to have air coming in which means we need an inlet and an outlet and this cross-flow rad works perfectly for that so what right now I'm sure this looks kind of obvious now how we're gonna do this I am just going to have two tubes hooked up to this and you can't just blow into the tube and expect the coolant to come out I had a lot of people suggest like well you should hook up a vacuum and pull the coolant through the problem is all that's going to happen is it a pull straight through the rad and back out the other side it won't force it through the loop for that to work this has to be the only outlet and has to be the only Inlet but because this is in the same reservoir radiator technically reservoir in this case that won't work so what I can do though now tilt this up and that's how we can drain it so I'll have to do this a bit because it's going to get trapped in all the blocks and stuff but I'll be able to get pretty much most of it out this way so we learned is that the height of the 90 degrees on here made it interfere with the side panel there fortunately the apogee drive - allows you to sort of rotate these fittings about that's about 45 degrees that way I can get a little bit of extra clearance just further shows that even parts that are made for small form-factor builds like this can still sometimes be too big because of the overall size of the case that we're dealing with all right so another snag in this build as it seems to be the theme the unfortunately the EVGA power supply that we had the 650 GM is dead on arrival I'm a little disappointed about that because of the fact that it's so small it was gonna give me all kinds of extra room fortunately I have a 650 watt Silverstone here dbj is rated better I think we just got bad luck but I want to keep going I don't wanna wait for a replacement so I'm going to be stealing the one out of the 1800 X build because I'm going to be taking these 1800 X parts out of here and probably building something in like the H 200 or something like that from NZXT you know all you guys are probably wondering like well Jay why didn't you just use this build then for your CES because it's got 1800 X and stuff in there well that again that's because I promised I was gonna do a fully custom water-cooled yadda yadda blah blah blah and I want to keep my word also to one of the reasons why I'm not using this is I really wanted the silver build but when they sent me this for review they didn't have silver yet they only had the black and the problem the black has scratches show up fingerprints skin like cuz it's it's like a bead blasted sort of a sandblasted finish your skin cells and stuff cuz get all gross and nasty on it silver hides all that so there's that but now is a better time than ever to just sort of take this one apart put it out to pasture and get that one up and running all right this is about to be straight-up moment of truth now everything's in all the wiring is plugged in everything works its powers on when we push the power button that's a good sign looks like everything's gonna clear the areas we were concerned with and this is my pump wire right here my pump power wire now we are going to now fill and bleed the system so I clean up this table and this should be the last last time I have to take it apart or do anything with it okay it's done I promise you guys I would do this like a year ago I finally did it I found what I think is a very clean way of doing it with soft tubing you know it I said in my last video rigid tubing would've been possible in this but I take that back it totally would be not possible for me I don't think I have the patience for that definitely hit some snags along the way though the pump specifically being one of them because what you really lack in this particular case is a significant amount of room to have a pump and a reservoir and all that stuff and we even have two top hats on here we could have added more top hats and gotten more thickness and added you know horizontal tubular reservoir and all that stuff but then if you're adding all this extra volume you're kind of taken away from the whole purpose of this you know ultra small form-factor so I think the way it turned out in the compromises we made are pretty good now it's running a ninety nine hundred K right now that's overclocked it's sitting at thirty-nine see it idle which is still kind of warm but the fans are also barely turning right now I have the fan profile set fairly aggressive to where it will kind of favor silence unlike the motorcycle it's meant by that you probably fit in here okay now you probably heard it so it'll favor silence in terms of the fan but one thing we're dealing with right now is for some reason the apogee drive - even though we do have the PWM controller on it plugged into the pump controller on the motherboard no matter what I set it to the pump still runs full speed which is indicative of it's not seeing PWM so I've tried it on DC just see what happens I've tried PWM I've got in there manually adjusted it so the pump is pretty noisy but once the side is on and if I dreamt the fans up a little bit they definitely kind of drowns out the noise of the pump because the pumps that's sort of a high pitch irritating here you just listen yeah it's just kind of that it's that tone it's not the volume it's the tone that's just really annoying so I still have to play with that but like I said this is more of a mobile editing rig for CES this year because we don't edit on laptops we edit on overpowered machines it's not to be confused with the terrible overpowered machines that Walmart's selling this is definitely not one of those what another thing I want to mention though is I know some people have probably commented about the barbs not having any zip ties or clamps on them the barbs that I'm using are from bits power and they are quad barbs what I mean by that is there are four barbs on there there's four rings that bite into the tube when you put a hose clamp or you put a zip tie or anything on there that's not for sealing it if you need something like that to seal your tube the tube in the barb or the wrong size they don't match what those are for is keeping it from popping off but because we have four barbs per fitting on here there is no chance of that happening and anytime I had to remove a tube and put it back on I usually trimmed it back a little bit so that it's nice and tight again so that the tubes stretched out slightly it wouldn't pop off I do have some clamps I tried to put on there which a little snap clamps but they weren't the right diameter so I'm just leaving it like this and so far so far so good fingers crossed but the pump though like I said the pumper has combo it was close we showed you guys how it initially contacted the side panel and which by the way we don't the side panel on just for the sake of beauty shots but with the side panel on there's nice perforation that the light does escape you can see the GPU block and stuff it barely fits and by barely I mean the tubing still sort of pushes against the side there so the config that I have right now is about the only way I could have gotten it to work I had to use multiple fittings on the CPU side just so that it can make the turn back to this part of the case which is where the tube is going through that mid plate and then actually going into the pump but it all worked out it filled pretty well especially with that kind of a crazy IV contraption thing I sorta came up with to feed it and there is absolutely no air in the system because if I even slightly crack one of the fittings on the top of the radiator it starts to leak fluid which means that there is no air sitting up there which is what we wanted so guys I'm gonna go thanks for watching thanks for putting up with the terrible delays on this system but now that we finally got our case and it's fully built in I can say that you can comfortably with to top hetz that to 240 millimeter radiators with the water-cooled graphics card and a water-cooled CPU because easily done this probably with a single 240 and been plenty but I wanted to see who wants to take the challenge and accept it and I think it turned out well alright guys thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one Lambeau in my garage to remind me of when I was living homeless in the Hollywood Hills the smell of new electronics hit like if you're with me I've been tied to talk to people in five days when people talk to me at Thanksgiving I just grunted and pointed point the pie
