Jay, you're looking much better. I hope you're feeling much better.
Long live The Jay!! Kidding aside absolutely love this guy! His passion for all things PC and gaming, his absolutely hilariously bad dad jokes sense of humor that is an absolute riot! 😂 And all that's not to mention the beyond quantifiable amount of good he's done for the PC gaming community by holding manufacturers accountable and to the highest standards!! We love you Jay and we're praying and pulling for you and the fam!
Is he?
You mean stiff?
He does look better. Seems less drained lately
I would say, it would be nice if Corsair also included a drain fitting in the kit.
And leak tester. That saves a lot of time also
@@andrejins I read that as leak TASTER at first and was *very* confused
@andrejins although my comment won't age well - My EK air leak tester is amazing best thing I ever did was get that system
@@aliens1990990 Corsair does sell a leak tester. I saw it on their site like a year ago because they have a page on their site which shows you their 10-20 latest releases and saw a leak tester on there back then
They could do a version with the drain fitting instead of the tool kit. If like a lot of us, you have already done a hard line build, you probably already have the tool kit
"I like them stiff. If they're not stiff, they sag." Yes, Jay, that is how it works.
Giggity.

FOR 1000.00 you should get more then 3 fans and 6 tubes! its insane how expensive water cooling has gotten
Corsair is overpriced AF. And there is better stuff out there.
pretty sure the water cooling part isn't the bulk of the price here, its the goddamn icue link ecosystem
I had to go and see the price when I readed this (couldn't believe it was so expensive), in Spain, it's 750€, that would be 800$, still feels expensive since there is no block for the graphics card, and you would probably need to buy extra if you really want a complete loop, with a second radiator etc., the price is almost half of the price of my actual PC, si yeah, I would expect this to be a lot more complete, but I think Jay said a few times that custom loop has gotten very expensive, and not really worth unless you just like it for the sake of it, since an AIO will do the work totally fine, and a graphics card doesn't really need it...
Crazy, my water 3.0 is still like 200 USD. 9 years and no temp problems on my 6900k.
I would love to be able to give a custom loop a try one day but I can't imagine spending that much. It just sounds wild.
I never ever had the desire to put one of these systems together but your knowledge and approval of this system and my being a fan of Corsair products kind of has me excited to do this. Thanks for that. 👍
Hey Jay, I used this kit for my build and a single one of those tubes was able to run the length the a lian li 011D evo case. I had about about a quarter of the tube left as well
Jay & Co, how about a roundup of current entry level loops, especially soft tubing loops. Something that's either: inexpensive, or fun DIY.
EK has them. but due to the recent controversy, and he's got beef with them, He likely won't acknoledge their existence for now... Same with Thermalfake who sell hardline kits.
I really wish we would get more soft tubing stuff again. Every channel does hard tubing and focuses on making your pc looking the best and forgets about function it seems. Back in the day I loved reading about water cooling projects and it didnt matter the pictures were rusty car rads greasy rubber tubes or filthy copper tubes and tons of zip ties lol XD every build was a work of art in its own right and served function first.
I just completed a new build using those Corsair Rads and Fans. If you stick to Corsair fittings you're fine, but if you use EK Torque fittings like me you'll need an extension as there's not enough space with the 90° link cable. Also be very careful with the link cables that aren't the 90° plugs, if you got them plugged in and bend too much the plastic around the connectors will break off. Corsair replaces them no questions asked though, but still be careful.
This kit and Corsair's solution is the only reason I ventured into hardline water cooling for my new PC setup. I grabbed this, plus two sets of the frosted tubing, extra rad and fans for 2x 360 and 10 fans total, and I got the 4090 strix water block. Not gonna lie, even with this kit I almost gave up for soft tubing 5 hours into tube bending for my first time but stuck it out and it turned out great. Definitely buy yourself lots of tubing to throw out, it's cheap.
The fucking sanding. Protip: buy a ton of sandpaper. More than you need
In addition to extra tubing. I made that mistake lol
I had to create all of this stuff myself when I first started doing water cooling. By the time I did my build with corsair's old gen kit, it was already leagues ahead of what you could do back in the mid-late 00s. I took one of their temperature probes and put it on the exhaust, and another on the intake, both before and after my intake radiator, and at the back of the case where it exhausts free air (I didn't feel like putting one in the top with the other radiator that's exhausting there). My loop speeds up and slows down based on core temp of the CPU and GPU, but I could have easily linked it to exhaust temps if I wanted to as well. I contacted them back in 2020 after I did that build and suggested they integrate a temp sensor into a fan, and I'm glad they actually finally did it! I cannot have been the only person suggesting it. I also have 11 fans in my system, and wiring up all 22 wires to two commander PROs was a nightmare, even in a 1000D where it's stupidly easy to work inside of the case. I actually broke and had to rebuild one of the wires because I had to label everything, and some of my labels were wrong, and a wire cut in half when I went to remove the tape i'd used. Now it's basically impossible for that to happen the way it did for me, since labels aren't needed lol
If I do a hard line kit, this is where I would start. I have done 3 soft line computer builds so far. Like the flexibility of silicon hose lol.
Hey Jay, you may already have this planned but for the month of watercooling, could you have a piece that focused specifically on maintenance? It's the number one reason why I'm hesitant to try a water build. Specifically, how to build your loop for easy draining, how often you should do a full drain/reclean, etc
Nice video Jay. I like how the whole kit is part of an ecosystem which would give me the confidence to try water cooling for the first time, knowing that everything should just work together. It is still disappointing that Corsair do not have a reverse pitch fan option yet. It would really help show a system off to its full RGB potential while still deploying an optimum mix of intake and exhaust fans.
this is so good my only complain is I wish they subjected the scimitar mouse to whatever quality control logitech subjects their g600 so it can also last more than 40 months (and counting) as opposed to not even 18 before it starts to double click and the scroll wheel stupidly twists and reaps is own axle so I could throw my money into fully switching to the icue ecosystem, quality is like common sense, it is important but rare
I built my first water cooling PC using the Corsair Hydro X Series kit that JayzTwoCents used in a previous video a couple years ago I stumbled upon last year. I added an additional rad and GPU water block. That hardline tool kit was also included in the Hydro X kit. The only difference between their old kit and the new kit is the Link hardware rather than the Commander Pro and Lighting Node. And about $100 more. I do wish they had the Link when I built my system because the wire management is atrocious with the old version. "Here is the hacksaw. Not too much to say about that." Sounded a lot like Forrest Gump's "That's all I have to say about that."
Definitely grabs my attention. I've had so many problems with RGB alone in the past that I've sworn I wouldn't try water cooling but...this is the kind of thing that could change my mind.
Jay can you make a video where you build a pc using the Corsair water cooling kit?
This could not have come at a better time. I'm actively looking to build a hardline water cooled PC in roughly a week from now and this is perfect.
I am still running EKWB EK Fluid Gaming soft tubing water cooling kit. I have been impressed with it. I maintain my loop with distilled water and anti growth additive. Have never had and issue. I know a lot of people don't like tubbing but my 5 year old media center build is still an art piece. 1080ti/amd ryzen 5 3600. Plays the couch games I need and the EKWB EK Fluid Gaming kit has served me very well. The recent corsair kit make me want to upgrade but I don't need more this works so well.
I got the HX305i for my build 18 months ago and it was a great way to start. Absolutely needed more components, but as a first timer this was super helpful.
I got that one too few days ago, the whole kit, 1st time builder here, wish me luck. Q_Q I am scared Ill fuck shit up even if I get my time to do it.
Take your time, breathe and you will be just fine. Mine isn’t perfect but I’m super happy with how it turned out. I highly recommend a drain valve. Corsair makes them, BUT they don’t make the male to male adapter to attach it, so I got one on Amazon. Best of luck
I love the idea of the link ecosystem and have honestly been considering replacing all of my corsair hardware with link compatible stuff, but there's one huge drawback in that you have to use iCue for curve control which doesn't have an option for hybrid/dual curves based upon whichever temp sensor is higher ala fancontrol. Corsair, PLEASE add this feature to iCue. It would be a massive addition to the software and make the functionality of your water cooling hardware so much better.
ive been running an older Corsair AIO kit for years. for years longer still ive been interested in doing a custom hardline setup but anxiety about messing up my computer and the general affordability of an AIO has stopped me from actually pulling the trigger on doing it. this kit is actually a very tempting option that may get me to actually do it. thanks for the video JTC
Your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed, Jay. Keep it up. Fuck them haters.
What haters? He's always true
Jay, great segment, the information was spot on for someone like me wanting to give water cooling a try. I plan to give the Corsair kit a shot in the very near future. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Could you do a "cheapest custom watercooled pc" build? what kind of pc could you get for entry level parts, maybe for something like a RTX 3080
I feel like a "good quality watercooling on the cheap" video would be really good. As a tech enthusiast, i want, and i know of many others who want to do custom watercooling but cant afford the extra £500 or more to do it
@@DragonKnight077my watercooling was 2500$ with rads and fans
@@Buffy1919 yea it's mental the sheer cost of it
@@Buffy1919: I run a Ek vector/ velocity for the strix and 14900k, 2 360 rads tied to the ek distro looping two 360mm rads with EK fittings. I think I am well under 1500. What do you have?
@@paulb5125 all depends of what you chosed. I have 3 ek 420mm rads 300$ with Lian Li TL 140mm fans x10. alone the fans are already like 500$. distro plate xl 600$. Cpu velocity2 custom hardtubes with fittings Ek Satin Titanium that were another good 500$+ and other accessorys stuff like distrop plate D5 pump cover and so on. Fittings are costly xD
I do like that everything is in a box. This helps make hard tubing more accessible to us beginners.
Jay, I like this kit. It's like you brought this kit over to my house office just to show it to me. ( I know I said it in the past but) Thanks so much for all that you do. I hope you're feeling better. Cheers 😁
You are right, I ordered 4 tubes from 1m extra. And I used 2 tubes with a coupling fitting, and filled it up with UV reactive fluid. And beneath the tube I have a big TL tube with black light and now I see the tubes right above my monitors. Gives a nice sight. The UV light up the wall and the tube glowing.
The bitspower titan 1.X is what got me into PC watercooling (also my first PC too). That helped a lot and what got me into it. That being said, I would recommend this to my friend if they ever want to get into it.
"nice and stiff and stay where I put them". I'm sure mrs. Jay agrees to that
Looking good, my friend. Hope you are feeling better than usual. I myself, haven't been on for awhile, went off grid for a time.
Jay is the best reviewer out there . I have no desire to make a custom loop ever , but the passion he puts in everything he reviews make me watch every single video of him . Thanks Jay !
Just some info: there is no such thing like "standard" or "non standard" acrylyc, there is just one chemical substance called acrylic and its PMMA. The other kind of tubing is PETG as far as i know, and it is definately other kind of animal compared to acrylic.
Just last week I completed my first custom loop with all EK parts excluding the fans. Been watching watercooling content for a while now from you and other creators so I felt up to the challenge of doing it all myself. I used EK's configurator on their website to get a handle on what I needed for what I wanted to do. Though I ended up being short on fittings after I received everything and had to wait for the rest of the fittings to arrive, I was successful and didn't have much trouble doing it. Was careful throughout and took my time. Wasn't difficult, really. But yeah this kit would make people more comfortable with starting out. But for the money I'd want to make sure I got it exactly the way I wanted it to look. And for me, that was with EK stuff, not Corsair.
I miss when ek had that $250 kit with soft tubing. Water cooling was way more accessible then
Bitspower does. I saw it at Microcenter last year, though it was 200 then. I came so close to getting it, but went with an AIO. As a bonus, Microcenter will even ship it to you, it isn't an in-store only item.
maybe that's why they went broke
Are there other cheap kits?
@@DragonKnight077yes. Iirc alphacool have a kit for reasonable prices
@@noTTYLer97 ek isnt broke, just their niche home watercooling stuff.
Thank you guys, that ICue firmware update fixed the issues I was having each time on restart/shutdown.
What issues were you having, Todd?
Icue would never remember my rgb lighting config on the 120mm link fans, and would constantly forget the sensor settings on the nexus display panel.
@@toddbrewer683 Exactly whats happening to me, I loath RGB software which is why I'm going back to normal fans next build. Seriously I can't say any of the software solutions are good.
Thanks for the new update for WC Jay!! I was inspired to build my first WC cause your indepth videos 🤠 keep up the WC and PC building and streaming WOWs!
You're the best dude. Definitely not buying Corsair, but I'm planning my first custom water loop here soon and using your stuff to study.
I'm tempted to try it. This is a great idea kit
For my setup, im gonna use the h6 flow with the icue link fans, 360 link lcd aio, 3 120mm, 2 140mm and a single rear 120mm. I'm going to setup the fan speeds as such. AIO exhaust fan speeds are solely dependent on the CPU temp regardless of the case temp. The rear exhaust fan and front 3 intake fans will change speeds depending on the exhaust temperature. And the bottom 140mm fans will speed up when the GPU temp increases, then the case temp, CPU temp, and GPU temp all reach an equilibrium state
Hey Jay, you're looking good and healthy, bro. 👍 The kit makes figuring out what a beginner needs easier. When I built 'Floyd,' it wasn't hard to a la cart the parts through Corsair. There were some couplers Corsair didn't offer then, but maybe they do now. Of course, your excellent video on bending tubes and putting it all together gave me the gonads to go for it. I have no regrets. I like your out-of-the-box reviews; the how-to-do and building tips are tremendous! You are my go-to whenever I have 'issues,' which have not been often. Many, many thanks for what you do. 😁👍👍
All in one beginners kit is great idea. Water cooling can be fun, lots of pro's for it. Unfortunately I fell down rabbit hole and spent too much on custom loop stuffs.
This kit looks very promising, i think the splitter solved the issue with the cpu block having to be at the very end of or alone in the line as per you previous video on this. Hope your health is also improving getting close to a full recovery soon.
I’ve been waiting for u to do this review. Thank you
I used their old kit. It's much better than most of the kits out there and has everything you need to run a midsize ATX loop :) This isn't the first kit, but it's worth it for the first-time loop runner.
I have a corsair 420 aio and 6 other fans that are all the new Link and I haven't any issues what so ever with the rgb. Having 9 extra temp sensors also like Jay was saying for fan control is pretty cool as well. Edit: building with this new ecosystem also made it much easier and quicker. Less clutter, easier cable management.
this is an awesome combo from Corsair! I might just get myself this to transform my PC into a liquid build. would be nice to see Jay building a PC with this to see how it's done 😃
I liked the video which did a good job showing the components included in the kit. If I have any suggestion, I would have liked to see the end result with the hard loop in a random case. I don't think it would be necessary to video the whole build, but it would have been nice see the finished product inside a case.
The previous version of this kit was how I did my first custom loop. Right off the shelf in micro center.
Great timing. I was just thinking about the full kit just for the sake of convenience. Still need to buy some extra stuff, but 1 kit definitely makes it easier
Still very expensive tho, where I'm from (Spain), it's 800$ (after conversion), which is a lot knowing that you will need extra, and a lot more extra if you plan to also water cool the GPU, I don't think custom loop is worth it with those prices, it doesn't give that much benefit compared to an AIO and air cooling the GPU
@@Acuas Yeah, but that's current pricing anyway. Custom loop is not cheap. And the new link components are relatively overpriced. That is well known. Choosing these things you are accepting extra cost already. You can definitely find cheaper custom water cooling components of course, but in case of corsair you pay for eco system. Similar to apple in a way. Don't really want to defend the price, but you kinda expect it if you gather these components separately. As I said, single bundle is just a convenience (same as it was with the old kit).
I used a previous version of this kit with an extra rad in my build and my biggest issue was that I needed a few additional fittings to include my GPU in the loop. For a first-time watercooling builder, it was super easy and has been running great for nearly a year!
Jay, can you do a build with just what's in the box to see how it goes? I've been wanting to get into water cooling and love the idea of this, but I'm worried about what kind of pitfalls someone would see when actually building with it. I know you mentioned concerns in this video, but I also know there are things you won't know until you build with it.
I'd love to see a video going through strategies for optimizing your fan/pump curves based on the info from temperature sensors like these. I have an older version of this same kit and feel like I'm not utilizing all the temperature sensors to do anything interesting, I just have my fan curves all going off of coolant temps so they ramp up regardless of if it's a CPU or GPU heavy load.
this kit makes me feel like I could start custom watercooling! it's so much less intimidating
Glad to hear the "red flashing" bug is fixed... IT's terrifying, on a fresh build, when all your fans and pump start flashing red. Luckily, it's easy enough to check the CPU temp (and see it's not melting).
Ive never liquid coold a pc mostly cause there were no all in one kits like this and info is all over the place abut dIY each contradicting the other making it a lil confusing as t what you need. Im kind of excited about buying one of these so thanks for showing it to us!
Be nice if they made and included an air pump for line testing. Using one has saved me from problems after filling with liquid. Friends don't let friends build water cooling loops without air testing first.
The XD7 cpu block has a temp sensor in it Corsair also sells adapters for their GPU blocks to hook into the link system.
Thanks for the efforts!
Jay is in my BRAIN. I was looking for hardline guides
Yeh, it’s funny how he seems to talk about just what I need to hear. ❤ Jay & the crew
I seen this on Corsair a while back but it was not as up to date as this kit. I think the only thing missing is a pressure pump to test your loop. Probably something they could source easily and add to the box tools.
would absolutely love to see a build with this! and gonna save up to buy this! thank you!
And yes! i got an ironside case and really wanted to water cool it! so this'll help out alot thank you!
When i did my first watercooled build i had tons of tubes because everybody said you are gonna loose these things or mess up half of them but i had one 15 cm part messed up and some 5mm parts which i just cut from the ends. So i made my second build from the same parts^^. But you are still right i was just lucky and you should buy something extra of this stuff.
For me..this looks like something i would get and try. Seems easy enough, everything basically included and feels a lot less scary than just looking at a selection of separate pieces you have no idea what you need.
Yes, im looking to upgrade from my cougar aio and do something like this, the kit looks like it takes all the guesswork out of piecing the parts together, would be great if you did a build with this kit. thanks for all the videos
I love that the gang are still killing it after all this time. Major props to Jay and the crew!
This makes me want to hardline water cool, I wanted to before but I’d always talk myself out of it with this being a kit I may well have to in my next build
As a Server and Workstation builder for my customers, I couldn't help but be a little weary of using water-cooling in a computer but I took the leap and went with Corsair. To this day I am very satisfied with Corsair's water-cooling products, so far I have never had any....oh wait! Not going to jinx it!!
Jay, we need video about external radiator like Alphacool Supernova or Watercool MO-RA3
If I absolutely needed to water cool I would use that. I have never done water cooling as of yet, and that kit would remove a lot of the stress
This is really good, I would try this
It would be cool if the next video was you using this kit with minimal additional tools to do a build in one of corsairs cases, such as the 5000d or something. Its one thing to show the pieces, its another to show the process in intricate detail, and maybe even little bits about things to look out for as you go.
Thank you i was asking about this your last video so ill be getting this for my next build
this may be a new kit but corsair has made all in one watercooling kits for a while. the sell them at microcenter.
As always jay great review. I have an aio for my 14900k and wanted to go to a hard line water cooled set up, but it seemed a bit daunting and the expense of screwing up, what block pump reservoir or even how to do it were a bit daunting. Not a fan of a mistake that could cause a total meltdown. This looks very doable.
6:38, I've been doing this for a while using the temp probes that come with the commander pro but this is actually such a nice addition to see built into the fans themselves! I've never considered buying corsair fans again until now. EDIT: Never mind I've just looked up how much they cost and I will be going nowhere near them
Hey Jay I just wanted to reach out and express my support for you amidst all the chaos surrounding the recent Ekwb video. It's unfortunate to see how much unnecessary drama has stemmed from this situation. Your content has always been top-notch, and it's disheartening to see you face backlash for simply sharing your thoughts. I believe that staying true to your vision and direction is crucial, even in the face of adversity. Your loyal followers appreciate your honesty and expertise, and I'm confident that you will navigate through this challenging moment with grace and integrity. Keep up the great work, Jay! Your fans are here for you! I’m one of them.
i think they put the hub to have a kind of response for the not daisy chainable pump and water block, not ideal, but at least, it give you 4 connection so 1 for pump, 1 for the block and 2 for fan, not too bad. interesting kit, make you want to give a shot.
There are only two possible benefits of something like this though: 1. You ensure tube/fitting compatibility and 2. The price is lower than buying similar hardware separately. $700 sounds pretty steep for a CPU only kit but I haven't checked Corsair's prices lately. BTW Jay, how is the first one you've known of. Corsair themselves have had this same kit with their older hardware for ages. It's still available on their site for $100 cheaper.
Love when you try and find the product link in the description, but it just takes you to the general amazon home page. Nice job, yet again. Lets also completely disregard the fact that he reviewed this product already.
I had a Cooler Master Aquagate Max that I bought around 2007. It lasted me 12 years till then the pump started to fail. If I ever use water cooling again I'd use the same pump that was in that system which was a Jingway DP-600P.
It's pretty cool, being able to just order a single box with everything you need. Makes it a lot easier if you're worried about picking the wrong things and such. The reason i went with EK and not Corsair when building my loop, is mostly aesthetics and iCUE. Corsair just feels like a proprietary eco system, something i'm really not a fan of. They DO make it very easy for beginners, though, i'll give 'em that.
EK did a soft-tube kit years ago - I used one for my own custom build (in a HAF XB - still running). The block has been replaced, as have the tubes (changing runs in build modifications), but the pump/res/rad all remain. I would love to do a hardline build at some point - hopefully this kit comes to the NZ market at a reasonable price. If so, I may have to pick one up and make the switch to hard-line cooling (and maybe finally replace the i7-6700 I'm running).
It defiantly takes all the guess work of matching tubes and fitting and getting everything the first time.
My System: 7700K clocked to 5GHz, 32GB 3500 Vengeance on XMP, GTX 1070 all on a custom loop! Even when gaming never gets above around 40 to 60c. I have a 240 RAD and two 120 RADs. All using BeQuiet Silent Wings. Water-cooling does not cool better than air. However, it takes longer to get up to full saturation (heat) and at least my system is silent when not being stressed. When it is stressed, I am gaming so I have headphones on so do not care about the fans ranking up. I have been water-cooling since around the year 1999 - no shit, but am now considering going back to air because fan technology has come so far! One way or another, it is time for an upgrade in my case.
It's great such kits exist for the entry level beginner, but I still lean toward all-in-one coolers and no tubes since water-filled tubes means draining them at some point. I'd rather just leave the computer alone after it is built.
PMMA will make a way tighter radius than the tool provided. The only thing I change up is using an inflatable mandrel for super tight, or bends beyond about 120 degrees. Makes pullin the worm out SO much easier! Lol! And my son's mom used to do advertising for a jewler in AK... And she says folks would pay big dollah for Nic or Phil's beautiful paws! Hahahaha! Nice one team Jay'z!
The daisy chain thing is odd because it was daisy chainable on the pre-Link hydroX stuff. My set up goes CPU Block > GPU Block > Pump > Commander Pro. Doesn't do power, just the RGB as the pump needed the power connection. But given the number of pre-Link fans in my system the chaining of those parts was nice.
This would definitely get me to try water cooling for the first time. I love that they offer it in white as well.
From a guy who did a soft line loop on 2 setups, hard line kits are a massive pain in the ass, be sure you have plenty of time and love to go on adventures with a limited ROI on fun.
@@bassx101 You're making it sound far worse than it actually is. The only issue is that it can be time consuming if you want fancy bends AND are a beginner with tube bending. I've done hard and soft tube setups with both the GPU and CPU and multiple rads and multi-bend runs. A CPU only hardline build with a single rad is simple.
@@Dexx1s I mean I’m glad it worked for you but I can see someone blowing their money on this and getting frustrated and effed out. You know a soft tube setup is way less complicated and difficult than hard tube. That’s all I’m saying.
@@bassx101 Way less complicated, sure.Way less difficult? Not necessarily. For example, 5/8 inch PrimoFlex soft tubing damn near single-handedly converted me permanently moved me to hardline because of how tough it was to get into certain bend radii and/or lengths. Damn thing is stiff. That might seem like a stretch, till you realize that the hardline they're talking about is a CPU only loop, with one bend per run and it's acrylic, not glass or copper tubing. The vast majority will be fine.
@@Dexx1s running 3/4in myself. I’ve been there, I just resolve to the “there’s a fitting for that” if it ever gets to be twister from hell. I hear you though.
Deburring is also super important because burrs cause turbulent flow, and after enough time, those turbulent forces will cause pinhole leaks. It can take years with copper tubing, but acrylic is another story.
The kit is cool. The price is for people building a $5000 pc who don't care about additional cost. Looking forward to when JayzTwoCents goes ham on refrigerated pc's. There's workarounds to distribute refrigerant without condensation. I live in Atlanta, and a Intel 13900k and Hellhound pump out so much heat I doubt I'll do any day gaming this summer. Water cooling would just distribute that heat into my house. It's old school without the new school...yet.
Oh cool watercooling month is here. Neat.
I do like the new link kits
This looks pretty cool. Curious to see actual cooling performance, for example compared with an arctic liquid freezer iii 420. Generally, I just try to take the poverty way out without RGB or fancy stuff, and try to stick with best value and thermals for the money.
a simple piece of painters or electrical tape could help prevent the vise screws from scratching the acrylic tubing. Just an idea. I have only used AIO cooling as all the tools you need.
This really seems like a nice kit for a beginner as it has everything you need to get started. But yea, get extra tubes. They do seem a tad on the short side.
One thing that I didn't see shown is the PSU jumper to let you fill the system without turning it fully on.
The filming set looks great. The GPU wall is a flex
Would love to see you do a build with this Corsair kit
There might be a good reason why the block isn't daisychainable. It's because they don't want to put in two cables in it since it's harder to hide it. Plus, every chain gets designated what type of device it is in the chain at the hub. So since you only have one pump and block usually there's no need to have it linked.
