It may be worth doing a soft tubing setup first. It would be much less intimidating and you can really plan out your runs. Then when you are feeling like the challenge you would just need new fittings and the hardline tubing. I hadn't done a water loop since around 2003 and when I did my first hardline tubing last month I probably spent a month or two moving rads and the distro around to get it just right for the runs to actually work.

Honestly a really nice product. I remember when this wasn't a thing and you were just doing all this insane work. Now i feel like i may one day have a hardline loop with much less hastle

Awesome advice, it touches on critical points from a beginner aspect up to people that understand what he's talking about. The only thing I can think of that wasn't addressed is to advoid tolerance stacking when measuring out cuts but especially not to do when bending anything.

I used this kit for my first open loop. I'm very happy with it. Wish it came with a drain valve though. I screwed up 3 of the pieces of tubing but still had enough including GPU block.

Love the Alphacool concept where you can just turn your AIO into a full-fledged custom solution by adding radiators, pumps, reservoirs, daisy-chaining things and switch out their quick connectors with transparent cables and connectors.

After watching this video I was expecting my kit to come with the commander pro + rgb module but I'm happy to say that it came with the commander xt instead. Thanks for continuing to be a voice for change as you were at 5:00

Hey Scott, great observation! We definitely have a few kits! 😃

I used this kit but added my gpu to it and another 360 rad, it turned out pretty good! it was my first time custom watercooling so it was definitely a learning process.

I'm sure someone has pointed this out already. The "bending tool" Jay is referring to at 9:15 is the mandrel. Not the flexible silicon tube. The mandrel is what you use to hold the tube in position and bend the tube in whatever angle you like. There are usually markings for 45, 90, etc on the mandrel pieces that allow you bend the tube more precisely. The silicon tube insert just helps the tube from collapsing during the bending process. I have the Monsoon and Alphacool bending kit that I bought some years back. Really good to have a decent kit when you are first learning, and good to see Corsair includes one!

@Azlehria

2 жыл бұрын

A mandrel is the part that provides internal support to prevent the tubing from collapsing. That's why, to borrow Jay's example, automotive exhaust tubing is broadly divided into "mandrel-bent" and "crush-bent". The actual benders are generally quite similar, sometimes even identical. tl;dr Jay's correct.

Pros: Silent, best cooling possible (with good water blocks), looks cool :) Cons: Expensive, requires good understanding of fluid and thermal dynamics to setup it properly, needs maintenance (radiators, buildup in blocks, coolant replacement. Do your study, there are plenty of guides, Jayz has a lot of videos on water cooling. I suggest you to do first build with flexible tubing. EKWB water blocks, fittings and good pump/reservoir combo. It's very fun, like a lego, but you need to do your study :)

Nice I've been thinking about getting a water cooling system with a X in the title, my aio only has a H so it's clearly not intended for gaming. I will keep this kit in mind I've always been a fan of Corsair I trust the sailboat logo why else would the sails be full of wind.

I'm going to try this at some point, maybe my next build, kit looks great, great to see companies making purpose built kits

EK have had kits for 6 or 7 years.

There’s a few other things you should buy, like a leak tester, a drain valve and fill port, and maybe a flow metre. Also might want to consider the new anti-leak tech that LTT featured.

@alanai1621

Agreed on all of the above. EK makes a pretty nice and cheap leak tester that worked well for my build. One thing that I bought that helped was a lubrication kit for my fittings (came free with an order I made). I'm using bitspower fittings and they seem to be a little more difficult to get the tubing in vs. EK or Corsair due to the double o-ring design vs. single. I also bought a few pre-bent 90 degree tubes as I didn't want to deal with using a heat gun (using a distro plate so just needed one 90 degree bend per tube).

It's just extra, you don't need them. Well, drain valve might be the most useful and must have thing from your list. But flow meter and leak tester are pointless. But then again i remember when my gaming friend wanted to change air cooler to aio water cooler. He didnt want to change it himself but i said why would you pay for this easy job just do it yourself and its fun to get it done by yourself and it really isnt that hard. It took him 2 days + a broken motherboard or CPU cant remember which one and the whole motherboard was covered in thermal paste. If you don't have brains just let someone else do it.

Jay it's 90 deg to 90 deg think of the turn. Also you ARE the water-cooling king of KZread, I modeled my entire build off of you! I even use bitispower fittings and bought an alpha cool radiator just because you use them

I bought this kit back in November for my intel 12th gen and my aorus 3080 waterforce. Added a second rad, more fans, a handful of extra fittings, and a drain valve. Temps stay cool even under heavy load.

I used a Alphacool kit as a base for my current build - I added a GPU block, another radiator and a bunch of fittings with that order. 3 years on, the only parts left from that original purchase is the GPU block, the radiators (2 x 360mm) and the fittings. I replaced the pump/res with a XD5 and the CPU block with a XC7 Pro when I upgraded to a 12th gen Intel. Funnily enough, I think my current tubing is from Corsair as well.

That kit seems a good choice to enter into watercooling. I would like to get that kit for a build at least. This video is great Jay, thanks for show it to us.

For anyone looking for something in between, Alphacool also has semi custom AIO loops with custom waterblocks for GPUs but all one unit.

ThermalTake and EKWB have been doing kits like this for quite a while. Minus the hacksaw. Very good alternatives if you're in the market for a premade watercooling kit.
