this is part 2 of 2 of the NZXT Manta ITX custom loot PC build I told you there won't be two parts I'm also not going to waste any more of your time without further ado here is as promised the tech porn you so I hope you've enjoyed the tech porn up to this point if you're wondering why the 1080 Ti is not custom cooled as mentioned in part one it's because I'm waiting on a distributor to send one I messaged ek they're one of the only companies right now it's currently selling them to consumers and they said they weren't going to send one unless I did a full on ek build with only their products and this is a predominantly Thermaltake build so I understand that I guess it just sucks that I have to wait a bit longer for one but when that day comes when it does arrive that block whoever may be from I'm looking at fan text right now and Thermaltake we're going to see who ends up sending theirs out first then we will redo the build with the graphics card integrated into the loop and I might do something a bit different with the been leading from the CPU to the top rat I know that doesn't look very very complicated this this Bend right here this one is actually super technical I mean like there are like four or five bends in there that I had to get just you know almost perfectly corrected and at certain points it had to bend if it wasn't bent in the right place and it just wouldn't aligned with the top rad so that's why I had to include that 90 degree fitting there between the reservoir and the back of the case I just I just had to make it easier there because there were so many bends involved with a single strand of ptg tubing the only other question a few of you asked from part one that I do want to address in this video is why there is no back plate over the 1080 TI so PNY doesn't ship one with their reference PCB the 1080 TI which is what this one is now I do have a few 1080 back plates that will fit over that but the problem is if you look very closely underneath the 120 red which is actually turned upside down the fittings that are connecting the PT G to the rad are extremely closer I mean we're talking less than a centimeter of clearance between the bottom of that fitting and the PCB itself I tried wedging a few different back plates in there I have a few from alpha cool some from thermaltake even one from v1 Tech and none of those fits so I just decided to leave it bare PCB kind of bothers me but it's kind of okay at the same time because it is a very dark PCB kind of blends in with the rest of the case so I'm willing to bite that bullet there for the sake of not crushing anything on the board itself oh and one more thing if you're one during who the heck made these super awesome custom sleeved cables for white sky that would be Tony over at virility I encourage you to check out his youtube channel linked at the very top of this video's description the dude is very gifted he makes some of the coolest looking custom lute pcs out there he has even been featured on websites like fractal design for building in the define mini sea which is the case I haven't personally wanted to tackle yet his was a mini seat by the way the smaller version that's just a that looked like a feat in itself and he has helped me with many many builds in the past including this one here pretty much all my custom loop builds he's provided some sort of input or helped me out when I've run into issues so the guy's very talented and if you're looking for some cool unique builds his channel is the one to go to with that if you like this video like this bill be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down for the opposite click to subscribe if you haven't already and I will catch you in the next video this is Salazar studio thanks for building you
