The Art of Building a Custom PC: A Deep Dive into the Process

When it comes to building a custom PC, choosing the right components can be a daunting task. For our build today, we've opted for a dual-GPU setup with a Quadro in between them, which may seem like an unusual choice but has its benefits. As we began selecting the components, we quickly realized that this was going to be a straightforward process, aside from one major hurdle - figuring out the loop order.

Choosing the Components: A Straightforward Process

Selecting the components was relatively easy, with the radiator being the first to go in place. This process took no time at all, and we were excited to move on to the next step. However, things started to get more complicated when it came to figuring out the loop order. This is where most builders would struggle, as it requires a good understanding of how the components will work together.

Loop Order: A Challenge to Master

Figuring out the loop order was the biggest challenge in our build process. We had to consider the layout of the case, the tubing, and the fittings to ensure that everything fit together seamlessly. This is where most builders would struggle, as it requires a good understanding of how the components will work together. The loop order is crucial in ensuring that the cooling system functions efficiently, without any bottlenecks or restrictions.

The Importance of Cable Management

Cable management is an essential aspect of building a custom PC. Not only does it make the build look more aesthetically pleasing, but it also helps to reduce airflow restrictions and ensure that the components cool properly. We made sure to leave enough space for cable management at each stage of the build process, so that we could easily route the cables through the case.

Tubing and Fittings: A Matter of Space and Flexibility

The tubing and fittings were another crucial component in our build process. With the limited space available in the case, we had to get creative with how we used them. We decided to use a parallel setup for running between the GPUs, which not only looked better but also reduced the likelihood of any issues.

The Importance of Leak Testing

Leak testing is an essential step in ensuring that our build is safe and reliable. We made sure to leak test the loop before filling it up with coolant, so that we could identify any potential issues early on. This process helped us to identify a couple of areas where we needed to make adjustments.

The Final Product: A Work of Art

After weeks of planning and building, our custom PC was finally complete. We took a step back to admire the finished product, which looked amazing. The dual-GPU setup with the Quadro in between them not only added an extra layer of cooling but also made the build look more visually appealing.

Testing the Build: What's Next?

Now that our build is complete, it's time to put it through its paces. We'll be running a series of benchmarks, including Blender tests, to see how our custom PC performs versus other systems. This will give us an idea of just how well our build has performed and whether we've achieved the desired results.

Conclusion

Building a custom PC is a challenging but rewarding process. With the right components and a solid understanding of the loop order, cable management, and tubing and fittings, it's possible to create a system that performs exceptionally well. We're excited to see how our custom PC holds up in the real world and can't wait to share the results with you.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eneveryone so we're back for part two of this PC build I've got Brian from BBS customs with me again hello we did part one where we took way too long getting blocks on the Tesla's there were a few problems we resolved them though all the problems were us yes oh no entirely but they're good to go and now we're doing loop layout we kind of discussed about we're gonna use the gigabyte TRX 40 we're gonna use the Lian Li 11 Excel and we stopped there so we're gonna start with loop layout and order and then go through some of the fittings he's got and I've got maybe I got a quick education on them a little bit and go forward from there before that this video is brought to you by Linode cloud computing we've trusted Linode as our web host since 2012 and recommend it

our standard review and really this case although it works well with air it's it's kind of built for liquid cooling so let's let's first talk about some of the aspects Brian that you've got a bit more experience with when we reviewed it we looked at it from our standard review methodology for cases which does not account for things like installing radiators everywhere and we liked this case for a few reasons you want to talk about some of the I guess I want to use the word fitment but I get yelled at in the column I use that way fitment is a great word it's about that okay so yeah one of the one of the thing I'm actually coincidence doing also a build in this case and one of the reasons that I chose it was because you have so many options for radiator placement right and the spacing of the motherboard versus where you mount the fans and the radiators is is unlike almost anything else out there because you can mount an e ATX board in here and still have room to run your cables to run your tubing right man demo that yeah we could demo this so you're not interfering with anything here and you still I mean this is an enormous board yeah and yeah and you could still run like a triple red we've got if you want one kind of concern here though is the 24 pins writing what you talked about this and last but yeah in part one so getting it through here we'll we'll just have to do it in the correct order yeah well it'll be fine once we once we get this in here especially if we're using two stock cables not cable extensions because they tend to be stiffer the stock cables been pretty easily and we'll be able to route it down here without really any problem and luckily this case allows you to mount fans on the backside so we're not gonna have to worry about an additional fan right I don't know spacing issue yeah if we had fans should be yeah a little bit of a problem so that's the plan right now is to use one of these on the user right on the back wall 360 with the fans on the underside and then we're also gonna plan to use I also like how this section is recessed so that like you're saying it does get it below the board yeah and I mean I know aesthetics is not your primary concern but like when you're laying out a system like this and you're just looking at it like that that looks pretty able to like yeah a lot of people do in custom water cooling or in it for the aesthetics so and then we have a second 360 up top and the spacing on this is just crazy so this we shouldn't have any problem here with VRM I clear it now not at all and then we did consider doing a third rad at the bottom yeah that would go down here and we don't really have a great way to to demo that yeah but like the there's there being there's another space for a rad at the bottom and if for the kind of setup that we're doing right now we could try to move there we go for the kind of setup that we're doing right now it it wouldn't really make a whole lot of sense and I don't know that we necessarily need it anyway so we're gonna run with two to three sixties and I think we'd be alright we'll definitely be fine thermally so for people wondering about thermal concerns or anything the video cards top of my head should be about it's either 200 250 watts each we got two of those so max maybe 500 watts or so they're not overclockable it's completely locked down by Nvidia so we don't have to worry about that and then the CPU is 39 70 X so if it's stock we're completely fine a couple hundred watts and if it's overclocked we're still still 3 3 400 watts yes so yeah you're basically you basically have an entire radiator reserved for the CPU and the entire radiator for the 2gp yeah because yeah a high-end 360 millimeter radiator can usually handle about 500 watts and for for reference for people with our review we were working with a 360 it was the inner max CLC like tech one of those that we fixed so we were working with a 360 CLC and that allowed us to get up to 4.4 ish with the third answer yeah so with I mean two of them even with the video cards there yeah you should be more than it more than enough and a better pump to yep so yeah we're in good shape for that all right cool so what's the next step what do we want to do we want to start populating this with hardware put the motherboard in and get the GPU situated because we could connect them up with the terminal so we did exactly where they're gonna be oh let's grab the the bucket of fittings too and talk about this so absolutely I see we've got the same storage style yeah yeah so we just wanted to take a quick look at at fittings here I mean I know it's not hot topic but we do we did actually talk about potentially doing hard tubing yeah actually using Barb's how we wanted also there's there's a lot of things I specialize in but water cooling parts not really one of them so when we get all the different types of fittings in from companies who are who want to send us stuff half time like I don't even know what I'm gonna use this for it yeah yeah not something I work with every day so fair enough usually the ones that I'm getting in are for a purpose but they all end up in this so yes we are basically in a situation let's pull a few of these types out you wanna just take some random yeah sure and then I'll show these to you they're not really you know what those are but so for first off tubing build like we were talked about we're gonna we're gonna go with these soft tube compression fittings whether or not we use these exact ones I don't know we'll figure that in a minute when we talk about it like our tubing right but these are the ones from from the Corsair high direct stuff and they just they're basically a barb with a fitting over top that just compresses the tube and make sure that it goes yeah and I'll show this to my fingers fingertips are all messed up right now because of these things so we use these a lot for the CMT tubing mm-hmm that it's the black rubber it's like I think it gets us big as 19 millimeter outer diameter yeah so we use these for that stuff for when we want something that's fairly condensation resistant for chilled water and these either just clamps but they're the tightest like clamps have ever worked with yeah and these ones also so those are those are your uglier alternatives to so using the compression roller basically so you're putting that over a bar yeah hold the tube in place yeah so we'll use these for it and that's just because you can't get one of those fat tubes on them yeah yeah small fit yep but if we were doing hard tube it's the same concept except there's no inner barb for a hard tube fitting and you see there's an o-ring on the outside and then the compression collar on top right so you're basically it said you just seat the tube although you have to seat it all the way down because there's a rings inside and that's what creates the seal right and then this just this is going to clamp on to this o-ring and create pressure on the outside so do you ever if you reuse a fitting a bunch of times for something yeah do you ever replace the yes orange yep okay absolutely not not a lot I mean they're they're rubber as long as they're not chipped or broken in some way then they're fine okay but I mean you do get occasionally like they get they get brittle right so you start breaking apart yeah and you should if you if you're reusing fittings you should be checking them like before you're installing them so if that I'd use this a bunch and I looked at this o-ring and it was a mess I'm not gonna want to put this back in my system right so and usually when you buy these they will come with extra o rings at least but some brands do but they're cheap enough where if you needed to replace them you certainly could right so also a lot of this stuff you can buy a local hardware stores yeah it's it's all it's a lot of it's it's amazing how standardized a lot of these sizes and fittings are so you could use this with like copper tube as an example this is sold by ek but they don't even bother to rebrand this yeah this is a from colder is it colder I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation but it's a medical supply brand yeah that's what it is so this is a quick release they use it for medical supply and EK sells it they don't make it but then rebrand it yeah those are super convenient too yeah so a lot of this stuff is pretty standard like you're saying yeah and then I mean we might use some some angled fittings so depending on how we exactly we want to run our tube just to try to keep it as straight as possible right one of the things you don't want to do with saw tube this is kink it right right so anytime you're adding additional bends that you don't need that are a little tighter you want to try to maybe use an angled fitting to reduce some of the stress on the tube so you know we have our 90 degree angled fitting we have our 45 degree angled fitting this is a double 45 there's a little kinds of funky things and then this is just a splitter yeah yeah and we've got these two if you want to use these this is from China it's from PC cooler PC cooler air cooler that instead of a copper heat pipe it's a copper pipe that water goes through through the air cooler and that's the barb that it came with this is enormously interesting to me yeah it leaks a lot I wouldn't understand why we we found that our first hand yes no not the first trace but okay and then yeah so we'll probably end up going with a bunch of these compression type soft tube fittings you think the EK ones are do your preference I don't have a preference when it comes to compression like softube compression mm they're all pretty good yeah there's not a lot of difference between them so I have a bunch of these if we want to use mine sure if you're trying to be a trying to make a back-alley deal and dump a bunch of your inventory we can use what you said yeah I mean you said you're paying me for all this stuff right just try to pull some fans that look the same at least one set of three each that are the same yeah cool so there is these three mo 120 pros that we have okay I think these are all identical we could plug it up and yeah and just check it really quick I'm gonna plug it in right now yeah oh actually I haven't even used these we have we we used to use the the older version of these get his hair blowing in the breeze yes this is our current 3175 axe test system I need to stand this way so the mic isn't getting hit by wind this is our 3135 access system we have like 1.5 4 amp fans hooked up so I was like 18 watts or something and it's overclocked so I'm just gonna plug it into that dominus board and success yeah although it is definitely picking up some rpm from the wind coming off of those we should consider install it like stacking them like the heavy-duty fans and then on top of these fans so runs faster the motors oh you care if it's loud I turn it down and BIOS if I care I mean yes but I just go to BIOS and cut the speed yeah let's get the the motherboard in here first and get the like the necessary cabling up to the motherboard before putting in the rest do you ever just to start on that so this actually does solve that so this this is gonna we're gonna plug our front panels into this and it actually a lot of motherboards include this IC but it usually will plug directly into the motherboard what is that for that is a thing that I don't know it is a noise sensor okay it is a noise detection header so maybe you connect it to like an LED and then when there is noise it lights up and when there is not noise it does not light up what do you think about that I think I could use my ears to figure out if there's noise yeah especially if you're in that room with the oh is that the noise detector we found the noise detector I don't know if this build is going the way you had thought it was going to go with with me here I had no plan but uh I apologize in advance for the outcome yeah here is that the right it's not the same as what you have yes I'm gonna close my eyes so I'm gonna get dizzy yeah oh no no I'm just kidding go ahead go ahead no that's actually easier if you lower it oh you're gonna wait you wait till I'm screwing yep mid screw if I pass out it's on you no I'm not gonna pass out on you it's it's your fault so what I'm saying we can plug it in later right it's all it's a lot easier to move around without the power supply in it yeah yeah just route the cables yeah don't you want to we should do with the EPS through here or through the next one that doesn't matter up here it's fine those ones have to go into the video card because they have this and then I guess the video card terminates on the side of it inside the top down through there yeah yeah alright so we'll figure out the rest of the cabling later as long as we have those hooked up and routed yeah we could we could work around them over Winston or put in the loop in so we can even use the corsair brad here because it's dinner yep as long as clearance on the other side that seems fine it seems fine to me this thing catches in here sometimes when you're removing it I uh yeah I've always had issues like making sure that's properly in the in the rails and then pushing it down far enough yeah how's that look spicy it's pretty slick-looking block it kind of fits in yeah not bad I'm glad we took that lady use it out yeah yeah so I'm gonna mount the the pump Prez okay and actually should go this way because we're gonna mount this in the case and then screw it in from the mill that makes sense for the parts we have here we have a water cool heat killer threader per block that's crazy dense and all nickel-plated while offering full coverage of the IIHS we have a water cool glass reservoir that they sent over as well that looks really nice for the build and we're going to just figure out what radiators to use as we go same for the fans we'll just kind of pick as we go through the building process for the Tesla's we're using the ek Titan V blocks that we already had but we have a modification for clearance of the 8 pen EPS power we talked about that in the last video it's the same PCB so everything fits other than the power header and that's easy enough to accommodate so by the way that's what I was talking right earlier oh that was what were there yeah oh wow that is bizarre yeah and we sunk it in the ultrasonic cleaner for like three hours yeah did was this also black that it cast it did clean that yeah but all this stuff seems plated but the rest of it was also black and that got cleaned off huh so so I'm not sure what that is I was thinking it could be a height thing but if that also cleaned is I mean if you possible like leave it in for longer maybe I tried scrubbing out with a brush a bit too it didn't seem to do anything yeah I think your your vinegar or lemon juice yeah try it but I mean that's not a super powerful solvent but it usually works pretty well the acidity helps I'm also not certain how much it affects performance I would imagine a bit but being that this is on a competitive system a couple degrees will matter yeah if this we're just going in a normal system I might not care as much yeah yeah it looks pretty beat up yes that's from being in the ultrasonic cleaner oh the coloration on the back yeah so it's pretty interesting how we use that for anything else the ultrasonic cleaner uh yeah motherboards Oh after their Vaseline yeah how does that look do you care yeah I don't know as long as it clears that's what I'm looking for yeah you know unfortunately radiator threading is not standardized yeah it's crazy to me actually you know that this fell out so we're gonna need longer longer is it normally like things just slightly not fitting quite the same way as or I have to drill a hole or I ordered one too few fittings or you know well that's why I ordered for no 8/8 terminals can't have too few of em yeah in only 416 GPU setup then you did it good thank you yeah you have a case that has 16 PCIe slot covers I'm working on okay I've contacted a manufacturer and did they say they said oh so 1 rad in nice and it looks pretty good internally yeah yeah are you seating this forward like the best direction as opposed to oh yeah yeah you want it forward yeah mmm we only got one rail up there yeah yeah cool fans internal yep pushing up yeah yeah yeah should I just start screens in just just yeah just as is as far as you can tie up tomorrow when you're in there way home yeah Brian so I got a problem that's something shouldn't be it's the that lip clipping that I guess we gotta start all over again with the screw hunt great so untwist this because we're gonna we want these fed all the way through okay even though we're not gonna use them then we'll just cut them on the backside just yeah just exactly them right off leave the wires exposed actually wouldn't do anything they're not energized yeah you got six one two three four five six pull keep going you should be able to pull more she's hit this with a screwdriver - because I can't do this with my goofy ass thumb does this sheared off okay what do you do around here oh that was nice did you get that no oh I dropped the screwdriver and he caught it reenactment hmm that's pretty good enough so this is gonna okay you need another mind II um yeah I will but I I'm just uh just trying to visualize this it's an artist seriously this is the longest part of it it's like trying to figure out what to do so this can go we straight in here mmm yeah no that looks good this is gonna come from the CPU so what I wanted to do was I have extensions put an extension on here and then a 45 okay so that's gonna come down like this I say gotcha and then this will take care of itself I don't we might need like we might need to put a 90 on this in okay and that's free and a 45 on the out using black at this point I don't have enough I might have some so unfortunately the the nickel fittings are not going to match with the yeah unless we just do all nickel you know which is fine fine so yeah so that that's gonna allow us to kind of angle down towards the CPU right and then and then you've got this writing this is a 90 here which you can write on it the camera can catch but is 90 here so we're gonna go straight back into this rad yeah so then I want to find e up here actually I'm gonna put an extension on that - okay so the reason I wanted to use this instead of a regular one is that it brings it out further I guess right so even if this isn't gonna work we could put a little extension on the okay and so these tubes aren't or that the fittings aren't bashing into each other oh you've got one on the table in front of you that might be yours this is mine I put this back so yeah so we do it like like this okay so that is that going into an acrylic thread yeah so when you're when you're tightening down these fittings I mean to be honest there is a little room for error but you're basically looking to compress the o-ring so that you're creating the seal but if you go too far especially into these acrylic blocks and especially if you're using a tool it's way easier like if it's one of the fittings that supports an allen key yeah like pretty much those fittings had those I mean even the e case you would use with with this allen key and if you do go too tight you can easily crack the block hmm so just be careful torque it down till it it feels nice and solid and then stop um because there is definitely temptation to be like I don't want this to leak I'm just gonna crank yeah yeah it looks good for for soft tubing I think the way you've laid it out it should keep everything actually as should keep it pretty straight yeah and then you're gonna have some slack between like so the two tubes that are connecting to the CPU ah I'm gonna come to here and you're gonna have one from here so you're gonna be able to unscrew it and basically kind of fold it back this way right and you'll have access to the seatbacks good Brian ended up routing the tubes with some extra slack on the CPU block for easier removability but other than that everything's really tightly held together we've been running this machine at time of recording this voice over clip for a couple of weeks and out and we haven't had any leaks or water issues so everything's worked out well the vertical soft tube stays fairly straight and looks like hard tubing's most people walking by the system since Brian thought so carefully about how to run it and the rightmost radiator connection was actually done with all fittings in a way that just looks nice and is less prone to kinking than soft tubing would be with such a short run we also ended up foregoing the terminal so we could get the P 4000 in the middle of the cards it looks better with the hard tubing connection anyway but I do have a hit extra terminals and now everything with the build came out excellent and we're all thrilled with how it works and how it looks so we'll check back with a final video for performance analysis if you want to see how this thing actually runs for things like premiere or blender or thermals alright so we worked on this through the night for a bit and ended up I just took b-roll while Brian finished it up the build is looking really good we have a couple things that we changed some things that you you can debate some conscious decisions on - yes I was suddenly loops together there were a couple things that I really felt weren't working quite right so that's kind of why the the almost always the longest part of doing something like this is literally just trying to figure out how you want to run your loop yeah so choosing the components is usually pretty easy put in a radiator in takes no time but then when you actually have to figure out with relatives yeah figure out your loop order and all that like it takes a little while so the biggest change is probably the lack of the terminal should point that out yeah this terminal right here we were gonna use yeah and then we figured out that we should have bought the other one yeah the x3 is what we needed yeah this is a dual and then the I guess the the triple slot would have been what we needed but that's okay we just ended up going with a parallel set up for for running in between the GPUs and it looks better honestly that way like the it looks better than the terminal would have I think so I always like a look of the two tubes running between them this is a cleaner solution yeah and less likely to cause problems if you're gonna have a problem but I mean that does look a little bit better I know is the focus for you and not merely aesthetics and we we did leak test it so I let it run all night yeah and no issues I filled the loop to the top you had left maybe a two inch gap at the top yeah just like I wanted it to bleed a little bit and then like you filled it up before you left last night yeah so it seems good yeah thinking there were a couple other things like we had to put the the Quadro in in between those two GPUs I wanted to put it at the bottom but the way the tubing runs at the bottom along with the fittings down there it wouldn't have fit we also have over here I did a whole set up with only fittings in between the rads and that was done just for spacing issues there wasn't a lot of space there to fit tubing plus collars plus Barb's it just wouldn't have worked out all the new also you were setting up a there's a whole lot of 45s in here between the GP in the CPU it was but it's gonna be a really straight run though for that too that's what so initially yes you're right and I was I wanted it to be straight and clean and you're like well I might need my new laughs laughs yeah so that's perfectly reasonable and to be honest this the way it turns out looks good looks good anyway it's pretty it's it bends cleanly it's not kinky and it's it's also not excessive for slack so yeah makes it easy for us to pull the CPU out when we need to do testing with it and any other changes that remain I don't think we made any other really big changes we did post it last night and it does most yeah so good yeah although I wouldn't put it with the Tesla's but I do know that they work right together yes so in a system yeah you I mean working this one you had to make a change in the BIOS and we were able to do that with no problems so I'm pretty confident that everything needs for anyone wondering needs for GD code and enabled for these is too much memory so board doesn't know what to do with it otherwise yeah which is something that I literally had no idea about yeah hey we got to change something yeah so if you happen to follow this if you're like I need a guide for to Tesla v1 hundreds like most people yeah I mean it's pretty common I think so normal build yeah yeah it's gonna go right in the SEO is for yeah yeah yeah I guess a lot of use Tesla V 100 build so I don't know yeah it came together really well the as of right now filming kill management needs to be done but we'll do that yeah the time you see this that they'll have been nice b-roll shots already so yeah we put everything together in such a way that cable managing is gonna be the is gonna be fine that's not going to be an issue at all but I mean yeah it came out great and uh I'm happy with it yeah yeah job well done yeah you too so I didn't do anything but I filmed parts of what you do you filmed really well thanks yeah all right so that's it for the build if you want to check out more of this type of stuff go to BPS customs on youtube and i'll link it below and i guess the next steps gonna be for us to actually do some testing with it so we'll probably do some blender benchmarks and see how it does versus just a cpu everyone seen our blender charts for CPUs so we'll add one in with a couple GPS as well i'll see how it does and yeah subscribe to brian thank you Brian for helping out yeah now it's gonna be able to see a shake hands but we don't figure we did we promise yeah we did and we'll see you all next time see you guyseveryone so we're back for part two of this PC build I've got Brian from BBS customs with me again hello we did

like yeah a lot of people do in custom water cooling or in it for the aesthetics so and then we have a second 360 up top and the spacing on this is just crazy so this we shouldn't have any problem here with VRM I clear it now not at all and then we did consider doing a third rad at the bottom yeah that would go down here and we don't really have a great way to to demo that yeah but like the there's there being there's another space for a rad at the bottom and if for the kind of setup that we're doing right now we could try to move there we go for the kind of setup that we're doing right now it it wouldn't really make a whole lot of sense and I don't know that we necessarily need it anyway so we're gonna run with two to three sixties and I think we'd be alright we'll definitely be fine thermally so for people wondering about thermal concerns or anything the video cards top of my head should be about it's either 200 250 watts each we got two of those so max maybe 500 watts or so they're not overclockable it's completely locked down by Nvidia so we don't have to worry about that and then the CPU is 39 70 X so if it's stock we're completely fine a couple hundred watts and if it's overclocked we're still still 3 3 400 watts yes so yeah you're basically you basically have an entire radiator reserved for the CPU and the entire radiator for the 2gp yeah because yeah a high-end 360 millimeter radiator can usually handle about 500 watts and for for reference for people with our review we were working with a 360 it was the inner max CLC like tech one of those that we fixed so we were working with a 360 CLC and that allowed us to get up to 4.4 ish with the third answer yeah so with I mean two of them even with the video cards there yeah you should be more than it more than enough and a better pump to yep so yeah we're in good shape for that all right cool so what's the next step what do we want to do we want to start populating this with hardware put the motherboard in and get the GPU situated because we could connect them up with the terminal so we did exactly where they're gonna be oh let's grab the the bucket of fittings too and talk about this so absolutely I see we've got the same storage style yeah yeah so we just wanted to take a quick look at at fittings here I mean I know it's not hot topic but we do we did actually talk about potentially doing hard tubing yeah actually using Barb's how we wanted also there's there's a lot of things I specialize in but water cooling parts not really one of them so when we get all the different types of fittings in from companies who are who want to send us stuff half time like I don't even know what I'm gonna use this for it yeah yeah not something I work with every day so fair enough usually the ones that I'm getting in are for a purpose but they all end up in this so yes we are basically in a situation let's pull a few of these types out you wanna just take some random yeah sure and then I'll show these to you they're not really you know what those are but so for first off tubing build like we were talked about we're gonna we're gonna go with these soft tube compression fittings whether or not we use these exact ones I don't know we'll figure that in a minute when we talk about it like our tubing right but these are the ones from from the Corsair high direct stuff and they just they're basically a barb with a fitting over top that just compresses the tube and make sure that it goes yeah and I'll show this to my fingers fingertips are all messed up right now because of these things so we use these a lot for the CMT tubing mm-hmm that it's the black rubber it's like I think it gets us big as 19 millimeter outer diameter yeah so we use these for that stuff for when we want something that's fairly condensation resistant for chilled water and these either just clamps but they're the tightest like clamps have ever worked with yeah and these ones also so those are those are your uglier alternatives to so using the compression roller basically so you're putting that over a bar yeah hold the tube in place yeah so we'll use these for it and that's just because you can't get one of those fat tubes on them yeah yeah small fit yep but if we were doing hard tube it's the same concept except there's no inner barb for a hard tube fitting and you see there's an o-ring on the outside and then the compression collar on top right so you're basically it said you just seat the tube although you have to seat it all the way down because there's a rings inside and that's what creates the seal right and then this just this is going to clamp on to this o-ring and create pressure on the outside so do you ever if you reuse a fitting a bunch of times for something yeah do you ever replace the yes orange yep okay absolutely not not a lot I mean they're they're rubber as long as they're not chipped or broken in some way then they're fine okay but I mean you do get occasionally like they get they get brittle right so you start breaking apart yeah and you should if you if you're reusing fittings you should be checking them like before you're installing them so if that I'd use this a bunch and I looked at this o-ring and it was a mess I'm not gonna want to put this back in my system right so and usually when you buy these they will come with extra o rings at least but some brands do but they're cheap enough where if you needed to replace them you certainly could right so also a lot of this stuff you can buy a local hardware stores yeah it's it's all it's a lot of it's it's amazing how standardized a lot of these sizes and fittings are so you could use this with like copper tube as an example this is sold by ek but they don't even bother to rebrand this yeah this is a from colder is it colder I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation but it's a medical supply brand yeah that's what it is so this is a quick release they use it for medical supply and EK sells it they don't make it but then rebrand it yeah those are super convenient too yeah so a lot of this stuff is pretty standard like you're saying yeah and then I mean we might use some some angled fittings so depending on how we exactly we want to run our tube just to try to keep it as straight as possible right one of the things you don't want to do with saw tube this is kink it right right so anytime you're adding additional bends that you don't need that are a little tighter you want to try to maybe use an angled fitting to reduce some of the stress on the tube so you know we have our 90 degree angled fitting we have our 45 degree angled fitting this is a double 45 there's a little kinds of funky things and then this is just a splitter yeah yeah and we've got these two if you want to use these this is from China it's from PC cooler PC cooler air cooler that instead of a copper heat pipe it's a copper pipe that water goes through through the air cooler and that's the barb that it came with this is enormously interesting to me yeah it leaks a lot I wouldn't understand why we we found that our first hand yes no not the first trace but okay and then yeah so we'll probably end up going with a bunch of these compression type soft tube fittings you think the EK ones are do your preference I don't have a preference when it comes to compression like softube compression mm they're all pretty good yeah there's not a lot of difference between them so I have a bunch of these if we want to use mine sure if you're trying to be a trying to make a back-alley deal and dump a bunch of your inventory we can use what you said yeah I mean you said you're paying me for all this stuff right just try to pull some fans that look the same at least one set of three each that are the same yeah cool so there is these three mo 120 pros that we have okay I think these are all identical we could plug it up and yeah and just check it really quick I'm gonna plug it in right now yeah oh actually I haven't even used these we have we we used to use the the older version of these get his hair blowing in the breeze yes this is our current 3175 axe test system I need to stand this way so the mic isn't getting hit by wind this is our 3135 access system we have like 1.5 4 amp fans hooked up so I was like 18 watts or something and it's overclocked so I'm just gonna plug it into that dominus board and success yeah although it is definitely picking up some rpm from the wind coming off of those we should consider install it like stacking them like the heavy-duty fans and then on top of these fans so runs faster the motors oh you care if it's loud I turn it down and BIOS if I care I mean yes but I just go to BIOS and cut the speed yeah let's get the the motherboard in here first and get the like the necessary cabling up to the motherboard before putting in the rest do you ever just to start on that so this actually does solve that so this this is gonna we're gonna plug our front panels into this and it actually a lot of motherboards include this IC but it usually will plug directly into the motherboard what is that for that is a thing that I don't know it is a noise sensor okay it is a noise detection header so maybe you connect it to like an LED and then when there is noise it lights up and when there is not noise it does not light up what do you think about that I think I could use my ears to figure out if there's noise yeah especially if you're in that room with the oh is that the noise detector we found the noise detector I don't know if this build is going the way you had thought it was going to go with with me here I had no plan but uh I apologize in advance for the outcome yeah here is that the right it's not the same as what you have yes I'm gonna close my eyes so I'm gonna get dizzy yeah oh no no I'm just kidding go ahead go ahead no that's actually easier if you lower it oh you're gonna wait you wait till I'm screwing yep mid screw if I pass out it's on you no I'm not gonna pass out on you it's it's your fault so what I'm saying we can plug it in later right it's all it's a lot easier to move around without the power supply in it yeah yeah just route the cables yeah don't you want to we should do with the EPS through here or through the next one that doesn't matter up here it's fine those ones have to go into the video card because they have this and then I guess the video card terminates on the side of it inside the top down through there yeah yeah alright so we'll figure out the rest of the cabling later as long as we have those hooked up and routed yeah we could we could work around them over Winston or put in the loop in so we can even use the corsair brad here because it's dinner yep as long as clearance on the other side that seems fine it seems fine to me this thing catches in here sometimes when you're removing it I uh yeah I've always had issues like making sure that's properly in the in the rails and then pushing it down far enough yeah how's that look spicy it's pretty slick-looking block it kind of fits in yeah not bad I'm glad we took that lady use it out yeah yeah so I'm gonna mount the the pump Prez okay and actually should go this way because we're gonna mount this in the case and then screw it in from the mill that makes sense for the parts we have here we have a water cool heat killer threader per block that's crazy dense and all nickel-plated while offering full coverage of the IIHS we have a water cool glass reservoir that they sent over as well that looks really nice for the build and we're going to just figure out what radiators to use as we go same for the fans we'll just kind of pick as we go through the building process for the Tesla's we're using the ek Titan V blocks that we already had but we have a modification for clearance of the 8 pen EPS power we talked about that in the last video it's the same PCB so everything fits other than the power header and that's easy enough to accommodate so by the way that's what I was talking right earlier oh that was what were there yeah oh wow that is bizarre yeah and we sunk it in the ultrasonic cleaner for like three hours yeah did was this also black that it cast it did clean that yeah but all this stuff seems plated but the rest of it was also black and that got cleaned off huh so so I'm not sure what that is I was thinking it could be a height thing but if that also cleaned is I mean if you possible like leave it in for longer maybe I tried scrubbing out with a brush a bit too it didn't seem to do anything yeah I think your your vinegar or lemon juice yeah try it but I mean that's not a super powerful solvent but it usually works pretty well the acidity helps I'm also not certain how much it affects performance I would imagine a bit but being that this is on a competitive system a couple degrees will matter yeah if this we're just going in a normal system I might not care as much yeah yeah it looks pretty beat up yes that's from being in the ultrasonic cleaner oh the coloration on the back yeah so it's pretty interesting how we use that for anything else the ultrasonic cleaner uh yeah motherboards Oh after their Vaseline yeah how does that look do you care yeah I don't know as long as it clears that's what I'm looking for yeah you know unfortunately radiator threading is not standardized yeah it's crazy to me actually you know that this fell out so we're gonna need longer longer is it normally like things just slightly not fitting quite the same way as or I have to drill a hole or I ordered one too few fittings or you know well that's why I ordered for no 8/8 terminals can't have too few of em yeah in only 416 GPU setup then you did it good thank you yeah you have a case that has 16 PCIe slot covers I'm working on okay I've contacted a manufacturer and did they say they said oh so 1 rad in nice and it looks pretty good internally yeah yeah are you seating this forward like the best direction as opposed to oh yeah yeah you want it forward yeah mmm we only got one rail up there yeah yeah cool fans internal yep pushing up yeah yeah yeah should I just start screens in just just yeah just as is as far as you can tie up tomorrow when you're in there way home yeah Brian so I got a problem that's something shouldn't be it's the that lip clipping that I guess we gotta start all over again with the screw hunt great so untwist this because we're gonna we want these fed all the way through okay even though we're not gonna use them then we'll just cut them on the backside just yeah just exactly them right off leave the wires exposed actually wouldn't do anything they're not energized yeah you got six one two three four five six pull keep going you should be able to pull more she's hit this with a screwdriver - because I can't do this with my goofy ass thumb does this sheared off okay what do you do around here oh that was nice did you get that no oh I dropped the screwdriver and he caught it reenactment hmm that's pretty good enough so this is gonna okay you need another mind II um yeah I will but I I'm just uh just trying to visualize this it's an artist seriously this is the longest part of it it's like trying to figure out what to do so this can go we straight in here mmm yeah no that looks good this is gonna come from the CPU so what I wanted to do was I have extensions put an extension on here and then a 45 okay so that's gonna come down like this I say gotcha and then this will take care of itself I don't we might need like we might need to put a 90 on this in okay and that's free and a 45 on the out using black at this point I don't have enough I might have some so unfortunately the the nickel fittings are not going to match with the yeah unless we just do all nickel you know which is fine fine so yeah so that that's gonna allow us to kind of angle down towards the CPU right and then and then you've got this writing this is a 90 here which you can write on it the camera can catch but is 90 here so we're gonna go straight back into this rad yeah so then I want to find e up here actually I'm gonna put an extension on that - okay so the reason I wanted to use this instead of a regular one is that it brings it out further I guess right so even if this isn't gonna work we could put a little extension on the okay and so these tubes aren't or that the fittings aren't bashing into each other oh you've got one on the table in front of you that might be yours this is mine I put this back so yeah so we do it like like this okay so that is that going into an acrylic thread yeah so when you're when you're tightening down these fittings I mean to be honest there is a little room for error but you're basically looking to compress the o-ring so that you're creating the seal but if you go too far especially into these acrylic blocks and especially if you're using a tool it's way easier like if it's one of the fittings that supports an allen key yeah like pretty much those fittings had those I mean even the e case you would use with with this allen key and if you do go too tight you can easily crack the block hmm so just be careful torque it down till it it feels nice and solid and then stop um because there is definitely temptation to be like I don't want this to leak I'm just gonna crank yeah yeah it looks good for for soft tubing I think the way you've laid it out it should keep everything actually as should keep it pretty straight yeah and then you're gonna have some slack between like so the two tubes that are connecting to the CPU ah I'm gonna come to here and you're gonna have one from here so you're gonna be able to unscrew it and basically kind of fold it back this way right and you'll have access to the seatbacks good Brian ended up routing the tubes with some extra slack on the CPU block for easier removability but other than that everything's really tightly held together we've been running this machine at time of recording this voice over clip for a couple of weeks and out and we haven't had any leaks or water issues so everything's worked out well the vertical soft tube stays fairly straight and looks like hard tubing's most people walking by the system since Brian thought so carefully about how to run it and the rightmost radiator connection was actually done with all fittings in a way that just looks nice and is less prone to kinking than soft tubing would be with such a short run we also ended up foregoing the terminal so we could get the P 4000 in the middle of the cards it looks better with the hard tubing connection anyway but I do have a hit extra terminals and now everything with the build came out excellent and we're all thrilled with how it works and how it looks so we'll check back with a final video for performance analysis if you want to see how this thing actually runs for things like premiere or blender or thermals alright so we worked on this through the night for a bit and ended up I just took b-roll while Brian finished it up the build is looking really good we have a couple things that we changed some things that you you can debate some conscious decisions on - yes I was suddenly loops together there were a couple things that I really felt weren't working quite right so that's kind of why the the almost always the longest part of doing something like this is literally just trying to figure out how you want to run your loop yeah so choosing the components is usually pretty easy put in a radiator in takes no time but then when you actually have to figure out with relatives yeah figure out your loop order and all that like it takes a little while so the biggest change is probably the lack of the terminal should point that out yeah this terminal right here we were gonna use yeah and then we figured out that we should have bought the other one yeah the x3 is what we needed yeah this is a dual and then the I guess the the triple slot would have been what we needed but that's okay we just ended up going with a parallel set up for for running in between the GPUs and it looks better honestly that way like the it looks better than the terminal would have I think so I always like a look of the two tubes running between them this is a cleaner solution yeah and less likely to cause problems if you're gonna have a problem but I mean that does look a little bit better I know is the focus for you and not merely aesthetics and we we did leak test it so I let it run all night yeah and no issues I filled the loop to the top you had left maybe a two inch gap at the top yeah just like I wanted it to bleed a little bit and then like you filled it up before you left last night yeah so it seems good yeah thinking there were a couple other things like we had to put the the Quadro in in between those two GPUs I wanted to put it at the bottom but the way the tubing runs at the bottom along with the fittings down there it wouldn't have fit we also have over here I did a whole set up with only fittings in between the rads and that was done just for spacing issues there wasn't a lot of space there to fit tubing plus collars plus Barb's it just wouldn't have worked out all the new also you were setting up a there's a whole lot of 45s in here between the GP in the CPU it was but it's gonna be a really straight run though for that too that's what so initially yes you're right and I was I wanted it to be straight and clean and you're like well I might need my new laughs laughs yeah so that's perfectly reasonable and to be honest this the way it turns out looks good looks good anyway it's pretty it's it bends cleanly it's not kinky and it's it's also not excessive for slack so yeah makes it easy for us to pull the CPU out when we need to do testing with it and any other changes that remain I don't think we made any other really big changes we did post it last night and it does most yeah so good yeah although I wouldn't put it with the Tesla's but I do know that they work right together yes so in a system yeah you I mean working this one you had to make a change in the BIOS and we were able to do that with no problems so I'm pretty confident that everything needs for anyone wondering needs for GD code and enabled for these is too much memory so board doesn't know what to do with it otherwise yeah which is something that I literally had no idea about yeah hey we got to change something yeah so if you happen to follow this if you're like I need a guide for to Tesla v1 hundreds like most people yeah I mean it's pretty common I think so normal build yeah yeah it's gonna go right in the SEO is for yeah yeah yeah I guess a lot of use Tesla V 100 build so I don't know yeah it came together really well the as of right now filming kill management needs to be done but we'll do that yeah the time you see this that they'll have been nice b-roll shots already so yeah we put everything together in such a way that cable managing is gonna be the is gonna be fine that's not going to be an issue at all but I mean yeah it came out great and uh I'm happy with it yeah yeah job well done yeah you too so I didn't do anything but I filmed parts of what you do you filmed really well thanks yeah all right so that's it for the build if you want to check out more of this type of stuff go to BPS customs on youtube and i'll link it below and i guess the next steps gonna be for us to actually do some testing with it so we'll probably do some blender benchmarks and see how it does versus just a cpu everyone seen our blender charts for CPUs so we'll add one in with a couple GPS as well i'll see how it does and yeah subscribe to brian thank you Brian for helping out yeah now it's gonna be able to see a shake hands but we don't figure we did we promise yeah we did and we'll see you all next time see you guys\n"
