The End Result of a Single Day's Work on Building the Spectre 2.0 Case with Water Cooling Loop

What you're seeing here is the end result of me working on this build, one day at a time, to achieve my goal of filling the loop. To get to this point, I had to skip some things, like installing the motherboard, which fortunately already knows that it works, so that's good. Our main accomplishments today are getting a much better idea of the radiator sizing and fitting, as well as getting a much better idea of what's gonna be required to integrate the front panel distribution plate. Lining up this setup without the side distribution plate gives us a better look at where the cabling is going to come over to get to the graphics cards, as well as coming out over here to get to the motherboard.

I've been talking with Joey from Source Customs about the cabling for this build, and we're still working on that. I'm gonna put a pin in it for now, and if you guys have any suggestions, such as color scheme or anything like that, please leave those in the comment section below. As of now, we've completed the loop from the pump down here up to this outlet, which loops around here and goes into both graphics cards, then goes into the CPU and finally out to the top radiator.

The loop continues with an outlet from there that goes back into the reservoir area, and the loop continues. I'm just turning the pump back on and it's working; never mind this little leak up here in the upper left where I was holding paper towels. The point is, everywhere else that's not leaking is not leaking, which is the important thing. If you're watching this video 3 on this build and are thinking that lots of things are going wrong because in video 1 we had a conflict with the distro plate, video 2 we had a failed graphics card, video 3 we have a mostly functional loop now but just a little bit of a leak at the top, I'm gonna count this as a win. Leaks happening on that really weird connection of multiple fittings that I put together just to sort of bridge that gap there; it's not permanent.

It is gonna be taken apart everywhere else that we were actually trying to test, does appear to be working and watertight for the most part. I'm going to let this run a little bit at least as I monitor the loop up here to make sure that there are no leaks elsewhere. Coming soon in Part 4, we'll be continuing the build, maybe getting the motherboard installed along with the water cooling loop. This will be the first time I've ever built the system with a water cooling loop that doesn't actually have a system installed.

I think that's really unique overall though; I'm happy that the radiators are fitting. They're very serious and very businesslike of course we're not sticking with soft tubing for this, we're gonna go with hardline tubing. I have confirmation from Corsair that they're going to be providing me with fittings for this, which is really nice. I really like Corsairs new line of Hydro X fittings.

I need to take some measurements till for the custom cable sleeping that's gonna be done by Source Customs so still a lot of work to be done on this build but overall, that's where we stand today. If you guys have any suggestions or just things that you're like "Hey I noticed this and maybe you could do this instead", please leave those in the comment section below. I will read them; I might not actually take your advice that's up to my discretion but for now, that is all for this build and the Spectre 2.0 case with water cooling loop.

The thumbs up button if you enjoyed it more on this build coming very soon we'll see you guys in the next one

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enat last the bill continues I had to put this off for a couple weeks because I was working on building a computer and a pumpkin and that actually went pretty well check out the video on that if you're interested but getting back to this epic water-cooled system featuring the singularity computers Spectre 2.0 case as well as an AMD Rison 3900 x4 now the msi god-like x5 70 motherboard and to RTX 28 ET is in envy link sli and these are the msi seahawk EK versions of those cards I've already done a couple videos on this build and I'm gonna keep doing videos on it until it's finished so you're gonna be able to see each individual step we found out for example in the first video that these graphics cards are so large and so it's all when it comes to this upper part here that it actually conflicts with the distribution plates that singularity included they included the front distribution plate for this as well as a side distribution plate in the second video we set up some testing for the core components of the build and we discovered that one of the two RT x 28 ETI seahawk EK graphics cards from msi was unfortunately defective in my pumpkin pc build video I actually went and returned one of those got a replaced so we have a backup for that here so today I have some hopefully achievable plans in mind for what we can get done starting with an introduction of a few more of the water cooling components from hardware labs we have these black ice nemesis GTR 360 millimeter 60 millimeter thick actually about 54 55 millimeter thick radiators these are these are really nice so I want to install these and make sure that they're fitting up properly and then of course we got a blow air through the radiators for those I have the Noctua chrome axe NF f12 all black fans these actually are chrome acts so they come with the colored nibs that you can put on the corners but I'm gonna go with all black to keep things a little bit more subtle with this build so I'd like to do another test loop setup integrating the rest of this hardware into the system integrating the front distribution plate as well as the rear distribution plate here we're going to remove this side distribution plate because it just probably isn't gonna fit with this build I can then get another test loop setup although it's going to be a bit more of a graduated test loop I'm going to just use soft tubing to get things right or where they need to go so I can make sure that there's no leaks in any of the distribution plates if that works then I will have what is essential functional loops set up in the system but it's gonna be super temporary yet again with the soft tubing because I'm eventually gonna be switching to hard line tubing beyond that other decisions that need to be made are what am I going to be using for the memory actually cuz I haven't decided on that kit the power supply I need to figure out as well I have a cooler master unit here but I might be switching that out I have confirmed that my cables sleeping is going to be done by insourced customs so I'm going to need to take some measurements for that so that those cables can start to be made if I can get all that figured out then we can move on to the final phases of this build in the next video which is going to be the hard line water cooling setup and for that I actually also has some ideas for what fittings I should use so there is much to be done but I think we can make a lot of progress today starting with a closer look at these rads here's a quick glance of the box for the black ice nemesis GTR 360 it says it's optimized for 1,000 rpm fans but if you look at most forums online they actually perform really well when you go for higher rpms I'm gonna see how they work with the Noctua nff twelves 16 fpi 25 micro and fourth-generation radical geometry copper fins standard G one-quarter fittings and you actually see the layout of the radiator itself right here now for the spektr 2.0 it can actually handle radiators up to 60 millimeters thick although you can only do one set of fans if you're going with thicker radiators because I'm using really high quality fans I'm confident that just a single set of fans on one side of these and push is going to be okay and here we can see the actual width is 54 millimeters the radiators themselves you can just tell are very well-put-together very substantial I like the nice sort of matte black finish they have on them of course we got standard unit quarter fittings here on the end and you can tell why when Corsair was parting out their hydro X line they went with hardware labs is the OEM for their radiators because they're very well respected in the industry and you can also see I guess you could start to get a look at the fin density there depending on sure sure that looks fine right but one key thing you should do if you're setting up an open loop or a custom loop once you get your radiators is make sure you flush them there can often be a little bits of metal or other elements from the manufacturing process that can get caught up inside you do not want those to flush into your loop and potentially clog your blocks up so that's one of the tasks we have on hand today is to give both of these a good flush one last thing to mention about these radiators is that they do include a few sets of screws and they're very particular about you using the screws that it comes with to make sure that you're hitting the right depth and in particularly not going too far down because you don't want to punch any holes and the actual fluid channels of the radiator and also they are directional it's also something that you don't see quite as commonly with radiators you can use these in either direction but they're just saying for optimal usage for the best cooling performance depending on the direction of the airflow you want to use either port a as the in and Port B as the out or if your flowing the air in the other direction you want to switch those so if you aren't familiar with knock too is chromatic stuff after being berated by the general public for the color scheme that not too is notorious for using for many many years they finally came out with the chrome accents of some of their popular fans the NFF 12 there's our most popular fan particularly for PWM situations where static pressure is important for a very long time it is only really surpassed at this point by not to his newest newest version of course Noctua now has these the nfa 12 X 25s which are arguably better these are available in a few different variations like this is the Flex version here which is three pin for example and they are making these in black as well but currently only selling them along with the new all-black air coolers that they have made long story short I just decided to go with the old-school n ff12 it is chrome axe and it comes with this little kit of accessories which is basically some mounting screws and then different colored corner pads so you can color code and match up with the rest of your system and I thought occurs to me as I'm mounting some of these little corner pads for the first time which is that max who it gives you four of each in each color which means I'm going to be able to put these for example because since they're anti vibration the rubber pads I'll be able to put these on the side that's going to go up against the radiator but then if you flip it around still gonna have these garish covered corners on the other side that's more visible granted I'd rather have the functional improvement of the rubber pads on one side but maybe I should get more of these and the other nice thing actually about these fans is look how short that plug is and you might look at that and think like oh that's too short I'd rather not have it that shirt well it comes with an extension here but that basically means you have the option to unplug it there if you wanted to replace this cable or if you want to do a sleeve one or you want to do a custom length one and that's actually pretty convenient too especially for a build like this where all the cabling is going to be very visible no matter what I do there are various ways to flush your radiator this is the most effective means I've come up with doing it here in my kitchen I'm just running water out of the tap I've got a couple hoses attached up and I've got the lower hose to drain down into the sink just running tap water through it like a decent amount shaking up the radiator a little bit here and there to try to dislodge anything that might get caught up in there then once I've done this for about five to ten minutes for rad I will switch over to distilled water do just a quick flush with that and then should be good to install them in the system what could go wrong you need a third hand you just use your mouth to hold things that drooled on it a little bit it's okay wouldn't be the first time so I managed to remove both of the distribution plates this is the side one that we are not going to use I think I'm gonna keep it around we'll see if I can repurpose it at some points the front one we can use and I actually first saw distribution plates like this first made and builds that eight-pack was doing back in the day all you really need is some high quality acrylic and a CNC machine to mill it out and then a bunch of tiny screws to make sure that you have equal pressure going around everywhere where these fluid channel is gonna be and one of the things that singularity has been working with to make sure is ideal is to make sure that when they're putting these screws in there not over tightening them and that is why in the first video you might have seen that one of the screws that was mounting the top of this distribution plate was missing it's nuts it had sort of rattled off during shipping they said that they're going to be addressing that and that they're continuously trying to refine their methodology for that because acrylic if you over tighten it's gonna crack if you under tighten it will be tight enough here they want the perfect amount of tightness and I for my part just needed to remove this front plates because it blocks the mount for the radiator itself so we're just really trying to mount the radiator here in case you're wondering this specific one just has an inlet and an outlet the water goes in and goes out down the sides and then back up the middle there is zero purpose for this distribution plate other than looking pretty being cool being another area to route your fluid functionally it's not going to improve anything when it comes to the performance of the system but there's lots of stuff in this build that is just there for looks so why not this too so speaking of the sort of practical impracticality of this front distribution plates since I have two connection points up here at the top and those are both going to be like right here and I've got both of the radiators installed and as you can see suddenly there's a lot less room up in here especially right in this corner so the way the flow is going to go is it's going to come out of this one and probably go over and into this radiator here and then normally it would come out of that radiator and go back into the top of the loop right there but it's probably going to need to come out of this do some 90 degree turn with some strange combination of fittings to get right up into this area to go in and out of the front distribution loop and then same thing with a few more fittings to get back to this point now because my plan right now is to set up the loop in here but not do a final version I'm just going to do some soft tubing so I can run the loop and get some initial tests and figure out where I want to go from there with the hardline tubing I'm using some of the Alpha cool soft tube fittings that I used on Riptide originally I have a fair amount of extra fortunately so for my initial testing I think I'm just going to not integrate this front distribution plate I can connect that up to loop separately so I can leak test it on its own but that will keep things much simpler so I can just use those alpha cool fittings and some soft tubing to come out of here to go over into the GPUs and then out of the GPUs and then up into the top radiator because another thing I'm not going to be doing right now is water cooling the CPU yet I'm just gonna leave the air cooler on there again this is just an in-between testing video to get most of the water cooling stuff in place and then get a much better idea of what we're gonna do for moving forward with the hardline loop and I suppose if there is a lesson to be learned here it's that if you want a little bit more space to work with in this case probably don't want to go with the maximum thickness radiators since these are about 55 millimeters thick they say they can do up to 60 but even here we're already sort of almost to the point where we might conflict with these top and litsen outlets so I'd recommends possibly just slightly thinner radiators that said I really like these Reds and I think they're pretty thick and it's a challenge so we're going to go ahead and try to keep using them we've made our first connection between the case and the radiator that's right up here I'm using a dual 45 a dual 45 a single 45 rotary a female extender a male to male and a single inline extender there and somehow it all worked out and they fit this is not permanent by the way it's just a unique little combination of fittings that actually got the job done and I don't have to try to wedge in some soft tubing in there alright guys what you're seeing here in front of you is the finish build everything's complete put together it's exactly as I was hoping it would be and I hope you're happy with the finished product no no I'm kidding of course what you're seeing here is the end result of me with my requirement of doing a single day at a time to work on this build and to get to a certain point where I've aimed at which was to fill the loop in order to do that today I had to skip a few things for instance minor details like installing the motherboard which is still over here fortunately we already know the motherboard works so that's good our main accomplishments today are going to boil down to getting a much better idea of the radiator sizing and fitting and spacing getting a much better idea of what's gonna be required to go and integrate the front panel distribution plate right there once again lining this up without the side distribution plate which gets us a little bit better look at where the cabling is going to come over to get to the graphics cards as well as coming out over here to get to the motherboard I've been talking with Joey from and source customs a little bit about the cabling thus leaving for this build and we're still sort of in the works on that so I think I'm gonna put a pin in that for now and if you guys have any suggestions when it comes to thus leaving in particular as far as color scheme or anything like that please leave those in the comment section down below for now since we do have a completed loop from the pump down there up here to this outlet which loops around here and goes into both of our graphics cards then goes it would go from there to the CPU and then from the CPU up to this top radiator from the top radiator to the back distribution plate back there across this channel to this out which goes into the front radiator then there's another outlet from that that goes back into the reservoir area and the loop continues alright guys this is how far we have gotten today I'm just turning the pump back on and it's working it is cycling never mind this area up here in the upper left where I'm holding paper towels where there is a little bit of a leak that's not the point the point is that everywhere else that's not leaking is not leaking right that's the important thing so if it wasn't already obvious to you guys my plan for this build is to work on it a day at a time show you guys the work that I get done that day warts and all whatever goes right whatever goes wrong that's the deal so if you're watching this video 3 on this build and you're thinking well lots of things going wrong because in video 1 we had a conflict with the distro plate video 2 we had a failed graphics card video 3 we have a mostly functional loop now but just a little bit of a leak at the top I'm going to count this as a win actually because leaks happening on that really weird connection of multiple fittings that I put together just to sort of bridge that gap there it's not permanent it's gonna be taken apart everywhere else that we were actually trying to test does appear to be working and watertight for the most part so I'm going to let this run a little bit at least as I monitor the link up there to make sure that there's no leaks elsewhere and then coming soon in part 4 we'll be continuing the build maybe get the motherboard installed along with the water cooling loop this time that would be I'll be fun this is probably the first time I've ever built the system with a water cooling loop that doesn't actually have a system installed so that was kind of unique

do this instead please let me know in the comment section below I will read them I might not actually take your advice that's that's up to my discretion but for now that is all for this build and the singularity computer Spectre 2.0 case with all the 2082 TI's and the motherboard that's not installed and everything thank you so much for watching this video guys the thumbs up button if you enjoyed

fortunately we already know the motherboard works so that's good our main accomplishments today are going to boil down to getting a much better idea of the radiator sizing and fitting and spacing getting a much better idea of what's gonna be required to go and integrate the front panel distribution plate right there once again lining this up without the side distribution plate which gets us a little bit better look at where the cabling is going to come over to get to the graphics cards as well as coming out over here to get to the motherboard I've been talking with Joey from and source customs a little bit about the cabling thus leaving for this build and we're still sort of in the works on that so I think I'm gonna put a pin in that for now and if you guys have any suggestions when it comes to thus leaving in particular as far as color scheme or anything like that please leave those in the comment section down below for now since we do have a completed loop from the pump down there up here to this outlet which loops around here and goes into both of our graphics cards then goes it would go from there to the CPU and then from the CPU up to this top radiator from the top radiator to the back distribution plate back there across this channel to this out which goes into the front radiator then there's another outlet from that that goes back into the reservoir area and the loop continues alright guys this is how far we have gotten today I'm just turning the pump back on and it's working it is cycling never mind this area up here in the upper left where I'm holding paper towels where there is a little bit of a leak that's not the point the point is that everywhere else that's not leaking is not leaking right that's the important thing so if it wasn't already obvious to you guys my plan for this build is to work on it a day at a time show you guys the work that I get done that day warts and all whatever goes right whatever goes wrong that's the deal so if you're watching this video 3 on this build and you're thinking well lots of things going wrong because in video 1 we had a conflict with the distro plate video 2 we had a failed graphics card video 3 we have a mostly functional loop now but just a little bit of a leak at the top I'm going to count this as a win actually because leaks happening on that really weird connection of multiple fittings that I put together just to sort of bridge that gap there it's not permanent it's gonna be taken apart everywhere else that we were actually trying to test does appear to be working and watertight for the most part so I'm going to let this run a little bit at least as I monitor the link up there to make sure that there's no leaks elsewhere and then coming soon in part 4 we'll be continuing the build maybe get the motherboard installed along with the water cooling loop this time that would be I'll be fun this is probably the first time I've ever built the system with a water cooling loop that doesn't actually have a system installed so that was kind of unique overall though I'm happy that the radiators are fitting I think the radiators and the fans look really nice in here they're very serious very businesslike of course we're not sticking with soft tubing for this we're gonna go with hardline tubing I have a confirmation from Corsair that they're gonna be providing me with fittings for this which is really nice I really like Corsairs new line of hydro X fittings I need to take some measurements till for the custom cable sleeping that's gonna be done by in source customs so still a lot of work to be done on this build but of course I'm still looking for your feedback and suggestions if you guys have anything to let me know that you would do or things that could be done better or just things that you're like hey I noticed this and maybe you could do this instead please let me know in the comment section below I will read them I might not actually take your advice that's that's up to my discretion but for now that is all for this build and the singularity computer Spectre 2.0 case with all the 2082 TI's and the motherboard that's not installed and everything thank you so much for watching this video guys the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it more on this build coming very soon we'll see you guys in the next one\n"
