this video is brought to you by the fractal design define our five computer case featuring expansive radiator support and noise optimized engineering click the link in the description for more information well hello there everyone if you can't tell i'm kind of like a kid in a candy store today because i have all the water cooling parts that are going to be going with my epic water cooling build which is right right there you can't even see that can you hey that's the computer see that's this is my epic build in progress okay it's really good if you want to see any of the videos i've already done on this project you can check out my water cooling pros and cons discussions that I did with Jays two cents I'll post a link to that you can also check out my build or my bill to think of this which I did a time-lapse of I'll also post a link to that down in the video's description first and foremost for today though I need to say a huge huge huge thank you to the sponsors for the water cooling components here so we have ek of course who jumped in pretty early on so thank you ek they sent over all this stuff you can see here from fans two radiators two blocks also a massive thank you to primo chill they've just recently jumped in as well they are providing the fittings and the tubing so we have their rigid tubing fitting so you can see right here and then we also have PE TG tubing they have sent over but I'm gonna end it and a tubing bending kit we're gonna be doing duping bending so I'm gonna go kind of do an unboxing and look at all of these parts for you guys today not a whole lot of building going on unfortunately but that's coming soon and Jay has already promised he's gonna help me out so hit the like button if you enjoy epic water cooling builds and if you want to see more of them okay one more thing announcement wise and that is that this piece of the build has also arrived it's glass its tempered glass in my opinion is infinitely superior to plexiglass and I'm also going to be doing a side panel mod to replace the side panel with mostly tempered glass so that's cool too right and here we are and there it all is and before I go ahead and start carrying things out of their boxes let me go ahead and run down all the stuffs that I have right out here in front of me and then I'll go through one at a time and take each one out and give you a closer look so let's start with the water blocks for the graphics cards they right here these are from UK the ek FC 980 these are made specifically for the GTX windforce 3 or the GTX gaming windforce graphics cards these two right here specifically so I'm going to be pulling off those GPU heatsink fans and I'm going to be dropping on these two GPU coolers and I'll be handling that with J as well as hopefully the rest of this water cooling build this coming Saturday and then hopefully have you guys the video for it after that of course we need back plates and these are the e KF C 980 GTX one for three back plates big surprise there the back plates that are made to go with these GPU blocks and that are again made specifically to go with the wind force gtx 980 g1 gaming's from gigabyte okay i have a pump and reservoir both in this box x the e KX res 140 d 5 pwm it's the black estill finish and of course i have all these fans you guys might have seen JS video on the new EK Vardar fans I have the Furious Vardar which I think means angry father in Slovenian that could be wrong but these are 120 s they go all the way up to 3000 rpm I got them because they're all black and also they're good fans too of course we need to connect the GPUs together since there's two of them so this is a terminal so a dual parallel three slot since I'm going to go three slot spacing to give a little bit of space between the GPUs and make things look kind of cool that's to connect those two together and then of course we have the CPU block which is the ek supremacy Evo one with the white version here because it's a black and white build if you can't tell and I thought that might match up a bit more nicely with everything in the case and make the block stand out a little bit more as you can see right now I've got the fractal Kelvin cooler in there which is been doing a nice job for me but the CPU block is going to go right there at the center and I think that's going to stand out quite nicely especially since I'm going to have a windowed side panel on here once that mod is finished and then lastly on the ek side we have two radiators of course the 240 and the 360 both the cool stream PE which is a little bit thinner of a radiator and I needed thinner ones because they're not have a whole lot of space to work with up front I need to figure out what to do with that drive cage among other things but wait there's more of course primo chill jumped in here too and they were helping me out big time with the fittings that you can see here as well as the tubing now I do have some flexible tubing I grab that because when you're setting stuff up sometimes it helps to have flexible tubing available and to go along with that flexible tubing I also have like I have flexible tubing fittings that are right there I just got four of those and those are just to drop on in case I need them the actual fittings that are made for the hard-line PE T G tubing that we're gonna be using are these right here now you might notice I have a few extras I got a total of how many is that 18 well I got 10 blacks because that's how many I need is 10 but I also got the white ones because I think I might want to alternate not alternate but depending on the thing so like the water block for example is white so I'll probably use black fittings on that and then the connector for the GPUs is black so I probably use white fittings on that that's kind of what I'm thinking of doing just to make them stand out a little bit more they gave me some extra eye rings there as well so there's there's the fittings super sweet and then of course the tubing at rigid PE TG tubing you can also go through a jet acrylic but J recommends the PE TG so I go with his advice since he is my mentor on this particular project this is 3/8 inch inner diameter or 10 millimeters and 1/2 inch outer diameter or 13 millimeters and they come in a pack of gosh how many of these they come in a pack of 12 which again it's more than they need but they're 36 inches long but that's cool since I'm going to be learning how to do this then of course we also had the Primo chill to bending kit which is basically some gloves that you can wear while you're bending the tubing that hopefully won't mess with it if it's warm some microfiber cloth the little tube that you put inside the tube because you have to have a tube inside the tube when you warm it up in order to bend it so it won't collapse and then of course some of this spray stuff which I imagine is to keep your breath minty fresh so for starters I have pulled the e KFC 980 GTX wf3 GPU block as well as the e KFC 980 GTX wf3 back plate out of their boxes to show you guys what all comes with and of course give you a closer look so starting here with the GPU of course you're going to get the stuff if you need to do the installation which is a bit more in-depth than your typical like video card installation or something like that so you're gonna need new thermal paste they've given you a fat allen wrench to remove the plugs they've given you a set of these small screws which you're going to use to attach it of course you've got some thermal pads here you're going to need to replace those around stuff like the the memory modules as well as the power delivery stuff like MOSFETs some very detailed installation instructions here and very specific because this is not necessarily an entry-level project and then of course the GPU block itself which is right here the ek logo is covered up and I'm gonna leave that covered up for now at least to keep it from getting to fingerprinted no no if you can tell but it's got a very very slight texture to the finish here up on the top so you can see the LC solution FC 9 TD GTX ws3 you can see here where the plugs are going to connect and that's where that I'm actually going to be removing that so I can do that combo adapter thing what's I called the terminal the terminal dual parallel three slot to add that on then of course on the back you can see the nickel plated copper so tons and tons of copper back there for contact not just with the GPU but also with all the other important heat generating elements of the graphics card and then of course you can see all the connection points and that good stuff so I am going to put this back in the baggie it came in very quickly to keep myself from getting any stuff inside those little channels but then of course we have the back plate over here to backplate also comes with its own set of instructions also comes with its own set of screws also comes with its own set of thermal pads to drop on there and then of course with a look at it we can see that it looks very similar to the GPU block except on the back instead of a lot of nickel plated copper we have just these channels and everything like that so still looks really cool and that is actually going to be the top looking down at the graphics cards so this will be in here like like something like this sort of kind of so that cutout over there is for the sli bridges but there's a look at the GPU stuff and telling me I said there's all the GPU stuff but I forgot about the terminal so the terminal is at the end and you only need a terminal if you're doing more than one GPU together because what the block the GP block actually comes with his just a single GPU terminal and it's set up as you can see all of the holes are open because you have lots of different options for where you want the inlet and the outlet to be you can basically go in bottom at the top either way as long as you plug one and unplug the other and yeah but for this one you can set this one up to connect as you see on that side to two of the GPS so two of those slots go to to the GPUs you can actually configure this a little terminal to be serial which would feed to one GPU and then down and then to the other one or in parallel to feed to both of them at the same time so depending on where you put the plugs and all that stuff that's how that works but then those three little holes right there is where these attach and I need to remove that single card terminal to put this duel card at terminal on and now onto the ekx res 140 DSP WM pump and reservoir you get two sets of instructions for this one ones for the pump itself and then this one is for the mounting bracket that it comes included this mounting bracket is probably going to be necessary although I still haven't exactly determined where the pump and res are going to go probably in this area I might try to stack it on top of that drive cage because I do need the drive cage in there again that's that's we'll figure all that out apart from that you get some accessories little feet and other mounting stuff for connecting stuff this little foam thing here is for anti vortex so if you're getting a vortex swirly in your reservoir and it's causing air to suck down into it which is bad you can drop that in there hopefully what that won't be needed and then I'm gonna feel like I'm gonna have tons of these little big fat Allen wrenches by the time we're done some more plugs and fittings in there Algie one quarter of course and then the pump which you can see is sticking with the ek kind of Circle Square Circle Square styling that they have going on again a very simple design very clean design much like the GPU blocks and much like the back plates and even like the terminal interchange very simple clean designs which is why I felt like ek would be such a great fit for this build in particular because it's kind of a simple basic black and white theme apart from that there is an ek logoed kind of stand-up thing in there as you can see and then that's where all liquid goes it's called the ek x-ray as 140 because I assume it can hold like a 40 liters something and now we have radiators as well as the fan that it took just one out of the box I'm not going to take all them out of the box the radiators though are the LC solution cool stream PE as you can see as the label down there these are all copper fins that we have here on the inside so you can see the ports are currently plugged over here ek logos and then this one is 360 or 3 by 120 and this one is 240 or 2 by 120 and here is one of the ek Vardar fans if you want some more information on these ek Vardar fans and I probably am not pronouncing that properly but oh well J already did a video on them he had the lower rpm ones that have gray fan blades and I went for these like I said because they have all black fan blades and I didn't think the gray would really go particularly well although who knows the gray might've looked ok - I didn't know though that they had these oh my gosh bright red sleeved cables which isn't all that bad there there it's a nice little sleeping job there however no plans for red in my system so I might have to also figure out a solution for that we'll see how bright they are but you can see it's got some vents there to provide some cooling for the actual motor on the inside and as Jay found in his testing these are very powerful and also very very quiet so very very much looking forward to those and I've got enough for a just push configuration on both of these so five spots five fans I'm not doing push pull and that's simply because I don't have room in the case and finally we have the CPU block the ek supremacy Evo white edition supremacy Evo has long been regarded as a very very or one of the best CPU blocks available on the market and the Evo has a I'm sorry ek has quite a few different variations of it this is the white version which I got because my builds black and whites for a surprise apart from the block itself you get a couple back plates which I'm not going to need for AMD as well as other Intel bret sockets aside from enthusiast mounting hardware that's located right there you get a couple of these little jet plates where it should actually some internal components for the blocks you can switch does that to switch the diameter that's all I'm guessing going to change the amount of water there the liquid that's flowing through there this is another internal component here which you can swap out which I'm actually not a hundred percent sure of what it does I'm guessing it's if you want to switch or reverse the flow in there then that's something that you can do but I'm gonna double check with J so I guess you guys have to watch the building video to find an actual answer for that ek has also provided you with some thermal paste thankfully and that about does it but let's take a closer look at the block as you can see all white finish again there's an ek logo there that's covered by sticker right which I'm not going to remove yet pretty simple clean design again on the outside you can see the bottom has a please remove before use sticker covering the finish on there and the copper plate and that's pretty much it looks fairly simple but internally there's a it's got some plastic piece which channels the liquid over the copper fins and helps to effectively dissipate heat but let me switch over now and talk a little bit more about these fittings that I got here from primo chill and although my alignment of them has gotten messed up a little bit the reason I got black and white was because I was pretty sure even though I got this all whites CPU block here that I wouldn't want to go like white on white because that doesn't really completely match unfortunately so I'm okay having them both in the case but I wouldn't want that merit I talk of each other plus I think a black fitting right there he's gonna pop a lot more same goes for these white fittings and putting them on uh something black like the radiator that'll make those pop a lot more so that's kind of why I have the two color option going as you can see and now that I have all this stuff like out of the box and I've finally been playing around with it I really really can't wait so I hope you guys are with me on that one and that is all for this video guys thank you so much for watching like the video if you're wondering how the heck I got everything back into these boxes so pristinely I don't know how I did it and it's just magic don't forget to also head over to store Paul's Harbor net you can buy a shirt like this one and that helps support the cause you can change your link to Amazon to my Amazon link then I get a little kickback when you shop at Amazon that helps too and if nothing else thank you so much for watching this video stay tuned for the next one we'll see you next time
