Here is the well-structured article based on the provided content:

The frequency of the CPU does not seem to be a concern in this custom loop kit.

They don't even have turbo boost running, which should make it relatively easy to upgrade or modify the system.

This should be really easy to do, even though there isn't like a dedicated drain port or whatever. But because it's soft-line, I can just unscrew the pump-res combo, which is just being held down by two screws.

And then I can move it out of the system and then drain it here. So yeah, hopefully that goes well. Let's try that out.

Yeah, so we just had the two screws holding it in place, and then as you can see, we can kind of easily bring the pump-res combo out. That's nice and easy.

Let me just unplug it. The beauty of soft-line is that it makes everything so much easier to work with.

Oh, this always feels so precarious. It didn't over-tighten the compression fitting, so that's good. Oh, got some red Kool-Aid going. Oh no, don't do that. This seems very stainy. Oh there we go.

I may also have ruined my workspace a little bit. See that's one of the things I always forget to do is have paper towel at hand when working with a loop like this.

So finally, I'm going to open up this block and have a look inside it. Doesn't look like there's any kind of biological residue inside. So it shouldn't be too gross, I think.

The biggest issue is going to be cleaning off the staining because whatever they use to color the liquid is very pervasive. Like I've been trying to wash it off my hands and just can't get it off.

But let's have a look inside. That is actually in surprisingly good condition. There you can see that there's no fungus growing over here or anything. So that's pretty good.

Let's give it a bit of a rinse and see how much that actually helps. And just like that, it's already looking pretty good. I just need to rinse it a couple times and it'll be fine.

At the end of the day, all of these components were in better condition than I was expecting, actually. Because you see some real horror stories of stuff happening to custom loops. Yeah, there may be a little bit of pink staining here and there, but all of this stuff is still very usable.

Except for the tubing, which yeah, it's not gone well for that. I actually don't know what coloring they use that stains so hard. But there was no bacterial buildup or anything.

I may actually use it for a different build. Let me know down in the comments section what you think I should liquid cool with this stuff.

And on a final note, I just want to quickly explain to those of you who don't understand why I was making fun of this system. Because the actual PC is relatively well-specced out, except for a couple of pretty big shortcomings. Garbage.

The problem is that this decent custom loop kit costs about $350 USD, whereas that system when it was bought would have had about $550 maybe 600 worth of parts in it. They definitely could have spent the $350 dollars they used on what is essentially an EPM purchase to fix the shortcomings of that system.

Like putting a proper kit of RAM in it and upgrading the graphics card to like a 1070 or a 1070 TI with a decent cooler on it, that would have had a huge performance benefit. Actually, they also could have put a better power supply in it. Stuff like that would have been much better.

Than buying a custom loop for that system is a little bit like if your city had a billion-dollar budget a year and then spent $500 million dollars of it on a bunch of gold-plated used panty vending machines or whatever. Like I guess somebody would have enjoyed it, but it's not going to fix the homelessness crisis.

But on the other hand, if your only priority is a custom loop, then I guess why not? I'm not going to tell you what to do with your life; I'm just going to buy it when you're done with it and then make fun of you on the internet. So with that, thank you very much for watching this video.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfor today's video i went craigslist knife battling on the streets for the pc equivalent of a toyota prius with 24-inch chrome spinner wheels on it but before we have a

link in my description below for a 100 60 day credit and here we have the peasant ep in the system which i can't wait to get into i'll take the side panel off in a moment because it's very glary but first let's have a look at the state of the rest of the system because as you can see on the top there's quite a lot of dust it wasn't even just basically wiped down which does not bode well for the state of the custom loop in there i think it's going to be pretty gross around the back we've got a pretty standard rear i o you can see that the motherboard is pretty basic because it's got a mesozoic period port over here uh but other than that everything's pretty standard power supply wise uh that actually kind of looks like an evga power supply i'm not sure we'll we'll double check that when we get into it now the first thing that you'll notice on the inside here if you're a massive nerd like i am is the fact that again there's only one ram stick in here at this point i feel like i'm in some ridiculous fever dream where i'm being haunted by systems that only have incorrect ram configurations in them and the thing that makes it worse is the fact that under this gratuitous open loop there's a ryzen 5 2600 which is a ryzen cpu and ryzen cpus are the thing in the world that hates single channel ram more than i do i feel like at this point these pc buy videos are just turning into david gets angry at ram without a partner you're nothing but garbage let's have a closer look at said gratuitous open loop because we've got some fancy ek action here that does have some some very stained looking tubing here but that's not the most concerning part about this loop for me when you go down to the reservoir look at that there's like no liquid in there anymore uh but when it comes to the rest of the specs of the system let me actually just fix this it's really bothering me come on stick stick okay let me just there we go there we go problem solved okay with that out of the way let's have a look at the rest of the system which is actually pretty well specced out the motherboard we have under here is an asrock b450 board and it's a decent budget option as far as the cpu goes like i mentioned before it's a ryzen 520 600 ryzen cpu which again is a good mid-range cpu as far as the graphics card goes we've got a gtx 1060 around the back we've got some reasonable cable management that kind of just looks like something i cable managed and we have a budget evga power supply i think this is their their bq series uh so this is probably like a 500 watt power supply that we have here and then we've got a loose ssd in here which i'm gonna try and savage out i love that it's in the ssd caddy that goes over here they could just oh it does it doesn't reach that's probably why they didn't mount it there okay so with that let's fire up this peasant ep system and see what temperatures we get on this ryzen 5 ryzen cpu that has a 240 millimeter radiator cooling it do we have power i don't see any leds anywhere but whatever let's just go straight into it okay there we go okay no no there is exactly the minimum amount of liquid in the loop for it to work yo it's not even any quieter than like an air cooler on it okay but we've we've booted into windows uh which they didn't even have a windows key on it what the hell yeah this is just a fresh install of windows so uh let's install some software and then we're gonna try and game on it and see how amazing the temperatures are on that on that 2600 oh wow look at those cpu tips i guess that's why you want to put a custom loop on a ryzen 5 2600 the temperatures are so unbalanced you've got like borderline thermally throttling graphics card with like pretty much ambient temperature cpu temps it also seems like they set the cpu core clock to 3.6 gigahertz so it's not auto boosting and it hasn't been overclocked at all like 3.6 gigahertz is pretty low for a 2600 so what i'm gonna do is put auto boost on i guess and see how much higher it clocks considering those ridiculously low temperatures oh that's weird the auto boost only takes it to 3.7 gigahertz i mean that is the all core reading but still it seems pretty low so here we have it running at 4.1 gigahertz all core and we're still not over 40 degrees celsius which is pretty crazy although the biggest bottleneck here when it comes to the performance of this system is definitely not the core frequency of the cpu i missed every shot but it's the ram configuration because not only is it just eight gigs but it's also single channel and it's very slow ram so yeah that's that's definitely what's holding the system back here i just love that they have this ridiculous open loop on a 2600 and then manually clock it on the base frequency of the cpu they don't even have turbo boost running this should be really easy to do even though there isn't like a dedicated drain port or whatever but because it's soft line uh i can just unscrew the pump res combo which is just being held down by two screws and then i can move it out of the system and then drain it here so yeah hopefully that goes well let's let's try that out yeah so we just
