hey what's going on everyone so this video interesting one because this is actually a custom water cooling kit right with hard line tubing inside and it really comes with everything you could possibly want and I would say a pretty complex custom loop again rigid tubing so you're gonna have to bend this stuff you're gonna need a few extra tools that aren't included in the kit but the cool thing about this is you're gonna get the fittings you're gonna get the reservoir pump combo you're gonna get the cpu block you're gonna get the tubing the coolant the radiator and some really dope looking fans from thermal Hague as well and just disclosure I'm not being paid for this video or anything they send it to me to you know just told me to review it so I'm actually gonna build with it I'm gonna save that for a separate video because again this stuff takes a long time to assemble and put together you see my other customer builds you know that so we're gonna do a run-through of all the parts you get in this thing and then we'll start preparing the loop in the second video so stay tuned for that for now here's what you get inside let's take all the parts out this will be interesting so I'm gonna try to set up my tripod here as best I can and then we're just gonna snap our fingers and have everything laid out on the table okay here we go three two one alright so here it all is and it's actually quite a bit now there are a few things I am not sure about that honestly I won't be able to give you a definitive answer on until I actually build with all of these components and you all know that custom loops take a long time to put together so we're gonna try our best to analyze the parts at hand and make best with I guess what we have at our disposal to kind of give a review on and this is gonna be a very in-depth review I just want to show you guys what you get for your money in the box here because something I want to point out especially if you're looking at this right here these are all control boxes and you get one of these with each of the kits you buy so if you buy these three fans separately what you can do you'll get one these control boxes if you buy you know the CPU block down there separately you'll get a control box it's just it's interesting because Thermaltake hasn't cut down on any of those resources with the bundle so you're gonna get four of these and I really hope you don't have to use all four because that will be a major pain from a cable management perspective regardless of the case you use so okay we're gonna walk through each of these I'll show you some b-roll and talk about what each of these is gonna do some things I see that missing maybe can use a few more of and some just pointers before you actually dive into a custom loop build like this one right here so what's so special about this new fitting well it's actually a three-piece design which is not standard most the time you'll see - I still have a collar like this one right here you slide this in through your tubing pretend my fingers of tubing here so you slide this backwards on the tube and then the area you want to connect will funnel into more or less a concave shape area and that is where the G quarter thread is on one side so let's say it's a CPU block you're connecting it to and you get a kind of wedge that tubing into place slide the collar down and screw it in all right I'm trying to my best to give you a decent visual here so the third piece is what simplifies things a lot when you have to wedge that that tube right into this concave shape it can be difficult you have to bend the tube you have to pull it back sometimes to get it to align perfectly with that opening to slide it in but this base plate is special again it's flat so this slides in on one side through a G chord of fitting and then the other side has the collar but you're wondering okay where's the connection where's the seal right had a prevent a leak that's where the middleman comes in so you slide this in through the tubing there are o rings inside two of them I believe yep so you have a pretty proper seal there and then you can see they're pretty loose there there's a lot of play there that's not - you don't have to worry about that there because the the seal itself the connection is more or less taken care of by the middle piece not the collar and then all you got to do is just align the two up you do not have to you know pry the tubing back and forth because there is no longer a concave shape here with that middle piece I don't know what you want to call this middle piece then it just kind of sits there so you don't have to you know worry about prying your tubing or anything like that especially if you have SLI graphics cards those tubes are difficult to get aligned especially when they're already installed in your motherboard so this simply allows them to slide in place align them perfectly they call our rests on top and screws into the base plate it's a very simple process I like this a lot more actually despite having a third piece here very simple by the way I'm not entirely sure if only having two 90 degree fittings here is gonna be enough I'd like to see maybe four that would give a bit more flexibility to the Builder to is just cutting it really close you might have some really tight bends where these come in very handy and just having simple you know lynnie G Quarter fittings might not be enough seeing that you only have two of these here to work with so we'll see when we build you're gonna have to keep the runs pretty simple knowing that you're only gonna have two of these to work with this is the Pacific W 4 plus CPU block this is a universal block meaning it will work with anything from LGA 775 up to a m4 on AMD side LGA 2011 2066 what have you so you can buy this and be worryfree it has a nickel-plated base here it's copper in design and it has RG bees that run all the way around the outside so in the pictures it looks really cool I can't wait to see what this looks like in real life it does have addressable RGB ease up top via this pin and it does come with a software control box like this one here so you can run them several different units into this box and control it all via thermaltake software so it's nice to have that cohesive sort of software unifying everything here this is all thermal taking here again so it should be pretty straightforward I actually like the way the block looks it's it's simple it's just I don't know it's circular and it's black and it's a little bland in that respect but I think when the RGB is turned on it's gonna look really nice that RGB ring design there it's just it's simple enough to look really good in my book this is a thermal take a ring plus 12 fans 120 millimeter fan and it does have RGB running all the way around the outside with some bias here and the frame too so you can see the RGB is from the side and also from the back and you do have the sticker here of course the sticker looks a bit more ugly than the front and that's the case for most fans so if you run these with like an intake and you're mounting these on the left side of your radiator when you're looking at your case from the from the left panel then you're gonna see the sticker and that's disappointing but from the front it looks great I like the thermal take redesign their logo made it much more inviting much simpler and it doesn't have that weird you know gaudy color scheme going on so I think it's a very good-looking fan and I think when the RGB czar on it's gonna look even better by the way if you're wondering how the fan connects to your motherboard it actually doesn't this fan is designed to connect to a software box you'll get another one like this included in the Ring Plus fan kit and you just connect one of these into the box like so and then there you go now the box will connect to your mother and then you'll use the software to control both the fan speed and the RGB accents now one of the reasons why I'm glad that you see 1000 pure coolant is because it'll take on the color more or less of the art jeebies that you shine at it and if you want you can add dyes that you can buy on thermal takes a website designed to be used with C 1000 pure so this is gonna be more or less like a closed ecosystem right so you're not gonna want to use this coolant with any copper radiator thermal take some using aluminum rads for a long time I'm not the biggest fan of those I wish they had switched to copper a long time ago again but this is made specifically for aluminum rads if you uses the copper rads you're gonna have issues guaranteed it's gonna gunk up it's gonna it's going to react with the copper and you're gonna have a really bad time right cleaning out not only the radiator but all the crap that gets thrown through your system because you didn't use the right fluid so keep this within thermal takes ecosystem you're gonna be perfectly fine with it if you want it you know die this thing a certain color you can buy the dyes and thermal takes website they're not expensive at all now speaking of the radiator this one is pretty beefy 64 millimeter thickness so it's yeah it's definitely chunkier than a traditional 30 or 45 millimeter radiator and this one is again aluminum so you only want to see 1,000 coolant with this stuff or anything that's you know made specifically for aluminum rads aluminum loops if you're mixing this with like nickel-plated stuff perfectly fine nickel is not going to react in the short term with anything really and that's why they use nickel but if you're using copper rads where there's bare copper exposed to the fluid in your loop then do not combine it with anything else than the you know that has a bare aluminum exposed in the loop that is not good you're not going to have a fluid that really keeps both in check in terms of what's going galvanizes and so yeah just don't mix them that's all I can really say about that this is really thick again it's it's got a four ports here up top so I took off two of the caps you do get a G quarter caps to close off two of these actually three because there's a third one down below and this one is more or less like a drain port so if you want to use something like you know a ball valve or something and then use that to flush the fluid if you want to do that you have a pour down here that'll be really effective it's really a pain in the butt to to flush fluid out of radiators specifically especially when standing upright but again all the fluid has to leave up top so it makes no sense for fluid to exit up top unless you flip your system upside down this gets rid of that issue though but you're gonna need an extra next drawer you know fitting or two if you want to use a ball valve down here ones not included by the way in the kit and one other cool thing included with the radiator this is like an RGB strip that you just adhere to the side of the radiator it's the perfect thickness it's cut specifically for the red I just showed you so it's got like a 64 millimeter or so thickness and it again just adheres with 3m tape to the side of the rad you can't use velcro straps as well if you plan on moving this at some point but it's pretty sticky as is and I just recommend just sticking this on there this is really only gonna look good now with the Thermaltake rad because it's cut specifically to those dimensions so adds a bit of a WOW factor to the rad and RGB rad of sorts is definitely gonna look unique in an RGB build now the last two things we have the reservoir pump combo and the PDG tubing which ptg tubing is just tubing so it's really nothing special about that but this is a d5 pump at the base here so that Thermaltake branded d5 pump you do have control of the pump speed down below sorry my neighbors being pretty loud across the street and this is an acrylic reservoir tube and it has two ports up top along with a cable that you can use to control the integrated RGB LEDs yes this reservoir has those and it looks like you have let's see on this side you have one port at the base here so three ports in total with this one I'd like to see a little more flexibility maybe with the number of ports on the reservoir but for an integrated one here and you do get the stands included as well see it's pretty versatile with the way it can be mounted this one isn't bad for being included in a yeah and a kit of sorts for a custom loop now if you're wondering what this project will become we have the PCO 11 air from Langley here and I'm gonna try my best to fit all these components inside of this case it's a beautiful case I've reviewed the dynamic check it out right here but we'll be doing this this review and build video and a future future dates so stay tuned for that but look forward to it because this is when we'll get to utilize all these components and I'll be able to give you my final assessment on how I think they look and how they all function by the way if you want this kit if you're curious about it maybe you want to just jump on in you can check out the link down below in the video description and that's where you can buy individually all of these components or the entire bundle there are several different tiers of this bundle but if you want the Plus that's when you get everything all the RGB components and it's one I recommend if you care a lot about aesthetics what that's it I'm gonna end the video if you like this one give it a thumbs up if you dislike it give it a thumbs down we'd sure to click the subscribe button if you haven't already and stay tuned for more content like this this is science studio thanks for learning with us and talking to my thumb my hand the entire time because I haven't shown myself in this video it's kind of weird doing it like that
