Oh rad what do you think folks I got all the pipes in really only four runs one of them was way back here behind the reservoir that was put in place in part one of this little build series and then I finished this Bend right here and this one leading from the graphics card to the top of the reservoir so the fluid direction because of the way this is orient is a primo chill pump res combo here the fluids gonna be forced out the back you can't really tell camera is not gonna really do this justice and it's so crammed in this case there's not much room but that's what I like I like the fact that it's really compact so everything's gonna look filled up and used so the fluids gonna enter the radiator up top from the reservoir which is just a good conventional setup here and then from the radiator down to the CPU block and then from the CPU block to the graphics card and then from the graphics card up to the reservoir and now a few people were concerned about the fact that I only have a single 240ml radiator in here I understand where your concerns coming from most of the custom we build you see online or just overkill over the top they don't need you know to for a team or adds a few were saying well why didn't you throw a 360 in here or a second 240 up front or something but if you look at it on a component basis this graphics card has a single 120 mil rad space and the CPU has another 120 mil rad space 240 is fine we all know that you can pair a graphics card with an AI oh and a single 120ml rad and it's going to stay perfectly cool granted it is a separate system when they're broken apart like that but even though we're including both into the same loop temperatures will still be fine we'll run tests and thermals after this videos up just to make sure that everything is stable now this has been proven time and time again I'm pretty sure Jay did this similar video and they see at a graphics card a CPU and cooled it with a single 240 ml rad and everything was just fine so the next thing on our list we're gonna fill this puppy up with some coolant some food we're gonna put a paper towel down here at the base in case anything leaks shouldn't be any leak so these fittings from pre Mitchell are excellent to get that super tight seal in here with a single airing which is pretty incredible and they look great in white the only thing that's not from primo chill that's custom loop friendly in this case is of course the fantex graphics card block and the Thermaltake cpu block now I'm not gonna tell you what color coolant I'm putting in here you're gonna have to just watch the video or if you skip ahead shame on you you're missing the tech porn speaking of which here goes all right so a small little issue not really small we'll see how it turns out when the computer is actually benchmarked and stress test but there are air pockets in this loop that are literally impossible to get out without dissecting each run and trying to fill the fluid in each of those runs because I can't get these pockets of air into the reservoir and that's where I'm filling the loops from the reservoir the issue the reason why this is happening is because the radiator is up top here and there's a huge pocket of air in here that's very difficult to get rid of I've tried rotating the case making the reservoir the highest point in the case I've rotated it probably 50 or so times just trying to get these pockets circulated through the graphics card block CPU block and into the reservoir but then every time I do that because there's a port on the back of the reservoir air pockets just move right back up into the radiator so no matter how hard I try to get these into the reservoir the reservoir will just have pockets of air leak into the radiator so we're gonna see how this turns out with temperatures for now though it is a finished loop with the exception of those air pockets and the cool thing is when you turn the PC on despite there being air pockets which will be creating thermal issues for sure you can't actually see the fluid moving which is pretty cool all right I've been running heav'n benchmark here for a little bit and 45 degrees Celsius at the core pretty sweet so it means that the little air bubbles in here circulating through the loop aren't detrimental to any major extent I am perfectly fine with 45 degrees Celsius now as for the CPU the temperatures here reported at 68 degrees Celsius now this is not under load by the way so you can see usage years yeah it's around 50 percent or so for maybe half the course half of them are turned off do I have oh I must have SMT disabled that's weird anyway so 69 degrees Celsius now remember this is a this is a 20 degree offset so AMD do this purposely with the 1700 X and the 1800 X so this is actually a 49 degree Celsius temperature it's just being offset by 20 degrees because AMD AMD well here you go it's all hooked up and it looks like it's running fine I've stressed tested it for about an hour or so and the GPU and CPU got up to about I think the GPU got to 55 degrees Celsius which is pretty good after an hour in the CPU got to I think 80 and that's with a 3.8 gigahertz overclock modest voltage nothing too to optimal I just did the basic settings and the bio speaking of which this Taichi x3 70 board from asrock has a beautiful BIOS the updates are consistently rolling out for Rison and that's why I like this board so much and that's why I recommend it to anybody looking to build a rise in PC the Taichi x3 70 from asrock is one of the best overclocking and just RAM support boards out there for Rison also if you're wondering the RAM colors they're doing the whole rainbow effect right now I haven't changed those yet but g.skill has software that I've showcased before that we can use to have this alternate between say red and white which is the theme going on in here so all in all I'm very satisfied with the build I'm glad that the graphics card is no longer sagging and at its vertical position right now and the fluid is it I'll be honest it's not as red as I would have liked for it to be it's actually a bit more pinkish than it is red only because of the air pockets in there so if you just look at the fluid when it's stagnant it's a very deep red but when the air bubbles get moving through the loop it does turn a bit lighter if you'd like to see some benchmarks this build maybe in the future run some temperature tests will run some stress tests see how this thing fares with only a 240 mil rad which many of you are concerned about in part one let me know in the comments below if you liked this video or maybe like the bill be sure to give this video a thumbs up I appreciate that subscribe for more content like this and also let me know in the comments what you think I should name this beautiful machine I'm gonna call it beautiful because I really do think that it looks good I think it's one of my best custom builds to date not only because well it's got a red white theme which can't go wrong with red and white but also because of the few you know just modest mods I've done here with the graphics card and orienting the components in the case in such a way that you didn't have to really do anything with a basement which is cool I don't like having a big old hole in the basement for the pump and what I just looks that out just a bit more ugly that's just me for the list of parts used in this PC you can check out the video description some of those links are tied to my Amazon affiliate account which just gave me a small kickback that's a punch back up kick back I'm kicking but you can't see it just that small chunk of change that I usually recycle back into the channel buying more PC parts and stuff like that to just show off cool things maybe buy some really interesting tech that you wouldn't think to buy but that you know what the heck for science right and then if you see new egg links those are not tied to any affiliate account of any sort I actually don't like new eggs ability program because they don't have their own proprietary program they actually use CJ and a few others that just are terrible they're just terrible compared to amazon's affiliate program so good on you Amazon even though they're a bit picky about where you put links and how you do it and this and that those small kickbacks do go a long way for me this is science studio I hope you enjoyed the PC build thanks for building with us you
