what's up guys welcome back to Pauls hardware this is my continued video on a riptide which is my epic $10,000 plus water-cooled system actually dual system built in the corsair 1000d case and actually started this over a month ago before Computex and i got the system all set up but then i wanted to water cool it so I went to Computex visited out the cool shows a bunch of water cooling parts they sent them over I have them all now so it's finally time to put this thing together the liquid fusion is the first all-in-one 240 millimeter liquid CPU cooler fermenter max with addressable RGB LEDs allowing for unique lighting effects in the two fans and the water block the block also has a clear panel with a flow indicator and there's an in-line high efficiency ceramic bearing pump if you're looking for a CPU cooling upgrade click the local Fusion sponsor link in the video description now one of the craziest things about this build is the amount of hardware that is gonna be fit inside this case for an example I have already installed all of the hardware that you maybe saw in the initial build video into the case and I have a complete other set of boxes with hardware in them here that I'm also gonna somehow try to also fit inside this case and who knows if I'll actually be able to lift the system after that but before we get started I'm gonna quickly go over some of the highlight parts including this cable kit from wise mods so other than that cable set by wise mods which was custom designed specifically for the system and that's part of the reason I did the initial system was to get measurements for all those cables and everything I have a bunch more coarser ll series fans hundred and forty millimeters and that's so we can do push pull up in the top because it's a very thick radiator and there's a lot of space up there so we want to fill it out also got a hundred and twenty gig MP 500 nvme SSD that is for the FreeNAS bill at the bottom so people don't get too mad at me for using a really nice high-end SSD for the main boot drive for freenas and other than that we have all this alpha cool stuff so to 480 millimeter rads as well as a 420 millimeter radiator you got to Nexis GPX GPU blocks for the two graphics cards we have an MDOT two riser card for the MDOT 2 that's going to go in the FreeNAS build flexible tubing 16 10 measurements this little pile here which is all quick disconnects which I'm very excited about gonna do quick disconnects for most of this because this is supposed to be a functional build I've got the ice block xpx for the cpu with the thread ripper rack installer for that we've got the ace Becker helix 250 reservoirs so two of those with the white helix in there and then I got a couple of blue helixes that we might install depending on how things look a couple d5 pumps here also from alpha cool and then if you guys saw the unboxing video I did with this stuff plus a lot of the other recent stuff to drive I was going to try to use the NHL 12s but after reality checking how much clearance is actually going to be in there once the graphics cards are installed I think I'm going to need to go with this one a low profile and HL 9 a and for cooler and that should give plenty of cooling as well as plenty of space for the rest of the hardware the question is when I turn this on will it for water hey Mike is is yes you thinking yes actually if it is working as a siphon than just dropping that even without the pump oh my gosh it's working look at that don't even need the pump who needs a pump you're using the power of physics kiss I didn't mention it I'm flushing the radiators right now it's always best practice to flush your new radiators to make sure that any of the manufacturing stuff gets out of there I'm flushing with tap water and I'm going to finish with a flush with distilled water this is a verified that our siphon is properly working we'll just bring out some so I can have this full tub after you cycling through the rad I'm not going to turn the pump on just to be a little bit more aggressively it is just sucking the water right through there actually it's draining the Supper is over pretty quickly now quick flush with distilled water just using the siphon for this alright guys we're at the midway point in the day and it is getting steadily warmer here in my garage because it's the middle of the summer but we're gonna press on even if we're a little sweaty for now though I've been doing a lot of kill management - pulling out of the initial build and reinstalling stuff got all the wise mods cables installed here fortunately those were all lengthy enough that they were able to plug in where appropriate so that's good I was able to do a good job measuring those and of course web mods did a great job putting the cables together each one of these cables also has these 3d printed cable combs on them so you can sort of push them along of the length of the sleeping and position and where you want so they look nicely trained and pretty also for the FreeNAS system down here I decided to go with the low profile back to a cooler for now we're just sticking with that not too a fan so you guys are gonna have to deal with the mismatched coloration there but it's a really good fan so I'm happy with that I've also got just enough length on these SATA cables actually to reach over to the 3.5 inch hard drives over there and the hard drive bay but everything here is wired up and I also made sure to wire up everything in this lower chamber here with a 1600 watt power supply is because now that this is reinstalled like getting back at those plugs would be a real pain in the butt I have decided where our cut-off point is going to be though today first we're gonna get the radiators installed with all of the fans so I'm gonna do push pull on this 420 millimeter radiator that's going to go on the top and we're taking advantage of the Corsair 1000 these removable radiator mounting panels in case I missed it in the first videos I do want to point out the front panel here has two 480 millimeter heads this panel has a single 1420 but you can't swap those panels and coursera actually also sells different ones so if you wanted to do two for 80s across the top you could as well I believe they have one with two 200 millimeter mounts on there too but we're just sticking with what it shipped with so we're gonna do push-pull here and then we're going to do just push on the front we're just quickly demonstrating that it's important to reality check the location and orientation of your radiators before you not the fans because I mounted all the fans first didn't realize they were backwards I had the cables on the round side flip them we screwed them all back in again there guys though yeah that's got to go on top so third time mounting these three fans to this red so we ran into a potentially like let's word I'm looking for here catastrophic that's good I like it wasn't the word I've seen enough but let's go with that so we encountered a potentially catastrophic conflict here which is that our top four and twenty millimeter radiator is barely barely conflicting with our big fat four hundred eighty millimeter rads ago on the front we were able to kind of shift this back a little bit by loosening the screws on that the top middle fan here is no longer actually screwed in because of that because we offset it enough that you can't screw it in there really appreciating the rail systems a lot of cases have on the top to the lay you a bit of leeway to move those forward and back but because this is designed to be centered and also has separate holes for the exhaust for all the fans we really can't shift it too much but we still went ahead amount of the 40 Reds on the front bracket here and that actually took quite a bit of work to get all those screws lined up and screwed in but I'm gonna see if this'll mount I'll just have to wedge it in there let's give it a shot that's the bottom Wow yeah this by itself is freakin heavy thanks ooh that's going okay then who made it fit all right it's not hey you know it's definitely gonna get a grind up there if it needs to be pushed in and pulled out in the future but I think it's just barely enough now a bonus feature both jurors come out together kind of all right guys the GPU blocks have been installed on our two and eighty eyes and I think and they're looking pretty nice wasn't too difficult to install there were a couple different stages to it but it's all laid out pretty well in the instruction manual from alpha cool there's some thermal pads you gotta put on there but I do like that this is now a 2 slot card or maybe even a little bit less than a 2 slot cards so I think to finish off this video because it's already much later in the afternoon than we were anticipating I'm going to finally install all my PCI Express stuff to graphics cards as well as my 10 gigabit NIC as well as my 400 gig and via me SSD from Corsair all right guys this has been a very long day and it's been pretty hot fortunately the ACS kept up okay so we haven't been dying in here but as you can see I have so much hardware installed in the system now it is looking so good so serious like it's it's actually here to get some work done because that's really been my ultimate goal with this build has been to make a system that's crazy and over the top but I actually want to use it I actually want it to be functional so I plan to do follow-ups with the system down the road to say like hey I've been using it for this this and this here's how that's been performing finally got everything installed both graphics card the NIC got the PCIe 400 gig SSD in there I got the waterblock on the thread refer 1950 X all the members installed so really all that's left is the water cooling loop I need to figure out mounting solutions for the two reservoirs and the two pumps that are going to be over here I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with the terminal connection for the GPUs out here and the plan is to do one loop for the CPU that's gonna go up to the 420 rad on the top and then one loop for the two GPUs it'll go to the 240 Reds in the front which is obviously way way more cooling than is actually needed but again the also goal is for me to be able to run the fans in the system at very low rpms but that's all for this video guys I really hope you've enjoyed it this has been part three of the riptides build and the courser 1000 d and let me know what you guys think let me know if you have any suggestions for me moving forward because this still has some more work to be done in it but hopefully just one more video to get the water cooling stuff in it and that'll be done with the builds and then we'll do a follow up after that with some actual performance testing thank you guys so much for watching this video though hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it and of course subscribe if you want to see the finale of this system build oh and don't forget I have a little giveaway going on with the unboxing video I did just a few days back so check that out too if you're interested in you haven't done it already thanks again for watching guys we'll see you next time
