yes you should do separate videos like this for every component in a water cooling loop. Viewers can pick and choose which videos to watch at will. More content from you and more fun!!

5 years later, still helpful. Just finished my first custom loop. Thanks a lot!

Ok, you've convinced me. I've been against water cooling since I've been into computing back in the 90's, and your videos have finally convinced me it's worth trying. BTW, this video separate was great, I had a lot of questions on reservoirs and pumps that you just answered. Thanks

I just wanted to thank you Jay - for all the video's and all the info. I've been building PC's since 386's - but thanks largely to your video's I finally took the plunge and did my first water coolings system on my new rig. It was - frustrating at first, but tolerable thanks to your input. At first I swore I'd never do another water loop, but as time has passed from the initial build, and I've changed out fluid, added another radiator(completely gratuitous - 11 x 120mm now, but I may add .. one more single 120mm .. just because :) , and swapped out tubing, I started finding it fun, even meditative. My latest revision saw me adding enough tubing to use the slide out trays in my corsair 1000D case without disconnecting anything, It turned out to be a really good call when my leak test showed up with 2 different issues, both from manufacturer end caps on 2 different multiported radiators (one leaking THROUGH the center of a plastic cap), and other was a small piece of flashing that need to be removed on a port (that broke the seal on an o-ring). So again - THANK YOU - for getting me over the initial learning curve and getting me thinking.

Jay, I've been building computers my whole life but when I first started watching you maybe a year and a half ago give or take was when I REALLY started getting into the custom builds (also you just mentioned Forza 6 and I just happen to be playing it now...) and no other KZreadr that I've watched or watch daily talks on a face to face feeling way as you do and I really just want to say keep up that unique aspect of your channel because no matter the subscriber count you are the best computer/tech/whateverthefuckyouwantittobe channel in mine.....and I'm sure in a lot of peoples eyes.

Thanks Jay for sharing all your knowledge. Believe or not is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this educational video. A video on each component, to me, is a great idea. A video on each component provides a more in depth discussion and more insight to what effect it has to the system as a whole. Many thanks.

I would say that deep dive into components would be helpful to people like me who don't have the time and resources to test things out. I appreciate you videos they are always educational and well thought out. Thank you very much.

I'm glad i watched this video. Starting a new liquid set up with my pc because of recent heating issues. Learned alot, thanks.

dig the idea of vids for each component in a water loop .. still learning about such and have been for a long time whilst saving for my first loop , you are very informative , and well if you love talking about it , talk away man , the information is priceless

Old vid , but this info will help I do hydronic calc’s , it’s resistance over distance , and elevation . Every inch of hight adds resistance , 90s and T’s add add huge amount of resistance , off to the top of head , a12” tee adds 25 feet of distance and resistance which is called friction loss ..and not to correct jay , but they don’t make reservoirs with a secondary ports for a pump and rad to cool them .. would be nice and a huge reservoir would make a lot of sense

Please do more water cooling loops. When I first started considering mine, it was your older videos that got me started. Would be nice to see a redo of some of them with updated information. They are about 2 years old now if not a bit more. Would love to see the component broken down and explained also. Good information is never bad.

Jay, you always answer all of my questions before I could even ask. You are truly the place to go for water cooling.

Thank you JayzTwoCents! I've learned so much about water cooling from you.

Excellent videos as usual, informative and entertaining. I am confident that I can do hard water cooling tubing myself, thanks to you and other. Built a very high end pc in a Thermaltake View 71 case, all white case with white computer parts such as fans , gpu and a white 1000 watt seasonic PSU. My problem I know nothing about software tweaking and over clocking, but I am watching the videos. Thanks again for your dedication and input to your channel and viewers......much more success to you Jay......that’s my two cents....lol. Will be buying a Lian Li Dynamic XL case soon, to build another system for dedicated sim racing.

Hi Jake, love your watercooling vids, very informative!

Loving your videos man :D I'just built my first setup (5820k EVGA X99 Classified) and you are helping a tonne with my water cooling research.

Thanks Jay. You're really helping me transition from air to water cooling.

Jay, Thank you for the information that you have provided regarding watercooling. I am starting to gain an interest in watercooling my rig, and these two videos have helped me understand what to expect. I would very much appreciate more videos going into the specifics of each part. On another note, do you have any recommendations for other places that can teach me more about watercooling and its fine details? r/watercooling is a nice place but it seems to cater to showing off systems more than teaching about watercooling. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

These videos are great, your series o watercooling really helped me when I needed to change the water in my PC while ago, didn't know how because I bought it used.

your vids helped me greatly, so glad you´re doing what you´re doing! keep up the good work!

Jay, could you discuss different fitting-types? Like 90-degree bends; 45's; T-valves; rotary valves; etc. My hard-line build is about to the point where I have to start ordering obscure fittings to make the loop work. Thank you

Good vid, I learned quite a few things about pumps and reservoirs, for example, I thought bigger reservoirs was better and kept your fluid cooler but you just said it doesn't make a difference! Good stuff.

These watercooling videos are great, keep 'em coming!

Jay, I love your stuff! Keep your work up and thanks for all of your efforts!

I have a Koolance 401X2 Single 5.25in Reservoir. Only problem is it holds just 4 oz or so of liquid. Not much at all per section but it does get the job done and it allows to DDC pumps to be installed on the res for a nice compact fit. I also have two loops. One is a 420mm rad for the CPU (9590FX) and a 280mm rad for the GPU. I use Mayhem's Blood Red Coolant in my system and everything is working great.

Man i absolutely love these guides videos! They are great and man so are you!

Old school water cooler here when it was first started myself and a friend of mine used garden water pumps for ponds that was close to 20 years ago I wish I had pic's of my first set up I used a heater core for my rad and a chunk of copper drilled out and a Plexiglas top and rvt silicone to seal it lol since then I've retired it many many moon's ago now running a Raystorm 750 EX240 and love it the only issue I had was the Led mounting on the Res kinda sprung a leak so thinking back to my old days grabbed some water resistant sealant and glued the led in so hopefully here soon I am going to add another res and pull the pump out of this Res I am running Distilled water with thermal take additive since it was built it was drained once and refilled after testing the ph balance of the coolant I don't remember the ph level but it was reusable... My system Specs are Asus P9X79 WS (The only socket 2011 board I could find) Cpu I7-3820 Stock clock 3.60 Over clocked to 4.3 Stable Crucial 16gb and Kingston 8gb DDR3 totaling out to 24gb's (Had all 4 sticks just laying around same speeds and figured what the hell lets see how well they work together lol) Video twin Evga Nvidia GeForce GTX 660's In SLI with both running 16x thanks to the 40 PCIE Lane's and the my case is a tower Raidmax AUGUSTA which is claimed to be a gaming tower but had to modified the mother board tray to fit my motherboard due to the size of it and last a 2tb WD HDD which is almost full (I game alot) as well as do the Digital movies since I run my monster thew a Vizio TV. Well there are my spec's I know it doesn't come close to any of your builds but it does what I built it for... One thing I forgot was my Cpu temp's under load max temp on a warm summer day I was hardly hitting 110f the video card's are fan cooled and they hit on BF4 126f top and 127f at the bottom, I wanna water cool them but due to lack of funding and not being able to find water blocks for Evga 660's has basically put that wish to rest for now, Let me know whatcha think about my set up..

Look into a XSPC 2x5.25 res/D5 pump, it saved space, easy to fill (case dependant) easiest thing to mount. But yes smallish res, couple pump cycles.

Would love to see separate videos on each component, Also a video on hard tube bending, How to measure and where to measure to, how hot to bend, removing burs, How tight to do fittings up, What seals/o rings are used etc etc. Maybe on your next build you could do an in depth tutorial going a bit further than you did on skunkworks for water cooling noobs.

FYI - time index 6:15 - you could have ran three 45 degs and dropped the 90's. Just one of the 45's would been at an angle. Just thought I point that out. I have done that in sprinkler systems to make long 90's instead of short 90s. Long 90's don't give you the back pressure that short 90's do.

dude, dont worry:) you make awesome videos, and you make people happy.

Jay you should definitely break down all of the categories of water cooling and do in depth detailed videos on each. I would enjoy watching such videos :)

Seriously, I'd love to hear you talk about the way different GPU block designs work.

Thanks for this excellent advice, I was planning on buying a bay reservoir, and would probably be disappointed. Convinced by your argument, I'm getting a cylindrical res then!

Awesome video bro! At the end of the video, @13:00 is one of the many reasons I like you and your videos. You aren't here to just to make product pitches and make money, you're really here to help... I LIKE that! Keep 'em coming man, I'll be watching. xD

Lots details, lots real samples, awesome thanks Jay :D More water cooling please.

Love these videos, I would really like you to go in-depth into each topic. In exmaple fluids. I've heard things like Mayhems Aroura is just a show fluid and not usable for extended periods of time. Is this true / even apply any more?

awesome video, though I am only into the prefab all in one units like the coolermaster seidon 240. It does all I need to do and is relatively cost efficient. I might get into it later for dual 970s on my new haswell 5930 build though

Man i would love to watch videos that focus on every part of watercooling and really going in depth . I want to get a custom loop and it would be my first one so any videos or tips that could help me avoid any dump screwups would be Awsome

Jay, I absolutely love your videos and have been a subscriber for a long time. In my eyes, you are the water cooling god, that's for sure. One small gripe I have is with the reservoir statement you made. While I do agree, reservoirs that will fit in a computer case will not show any real difference in temperature, the point that you made about a gallon of capacity not adding to the cooling capacity is, in my opinion, false. With a larger capacity like that sure, it will heat up to an equilibrium and level out, but since it will be in such a large capacity vessel, it will have time to dissipate some heat, even if it is within the margin of error. The amount of time it will take for the fluid to circulate through that large of a reservoir will allow it to lose some of it's heat through thermal transfer through the material it is housed in to the air. Just like copper tubing, which acts as a crude heat sink. Just my two cents! Now back to JayzTwoCents! Thanks for listening to my ramble.

I remember those days. Today things are much more easy to water cool. Jay is the man, his teaching is the real deal.

Very cool video, very informative !!!!!! Cant wait to see the rest of the series !

watercooling is fun for us too😃 love it❤

These videos are great. Wouldn't mind 15 minutes on each subject at all. Keep em coming!

@JayzTwoCents you should make a video on watercooling in a mid tower case. like the 350D. I am planning on water cooling my PC but i am a bit worried on where im planning on putting my reservoir. I have corsairs 350D. I was planning on putting it on top of the hard drive cage.

Love you Jay, but pom is acetal and the laing ddc was developed for watercooling of computer systems and comes with a standard top with barb fittings that can be used for liquid cooling.

Tip for filling a system with a single slot bay reservoir: keep the bay at the top of the loop and open it up to let air out. Put a T-fitting at the bottom of the loop then attach a quick disconnect and a long bit of tubing (long enough to go from the bottom of the loop to a height above the highest point of the rest of the loop) and use it for both filling and draining. This makes it a lot easier to bleed your loop as the liquid displaces the air without needing to trickle down or leaving a lot of air pockets.

I would like to see more vids like this. Spend some time and explain each one. I will surely watch the whole thing and give it a tumbs up!

Thx Jay, I really like this type of videos

Good video Jay... I had wondered the difference between the D5 and DDC... I thought the D5 was the ultimate... I"m curious, what you think about the Iwaki Rd20 and rd30... It seems to me they are beyond overkill...

Thanks Jay. I learned some new, interesting things.

Thank you for all the information.

There are one kind of reservoir that you forgot. I got a Zalman Reserator in wich I placed a eheim compact 600. That reservoir chills the water because it's also a radiator. I used it to cool a core 2 duo 8500 running at 4.4 ghz for a couple of years and never measured a higher temp than 57 degrees once. Mostly it was around 40 degrees. Now I run it with a new pump and tubing+block and a 280 radiator with 2 noctua 140 silent ones. The system is almost completely silent. Oh, I forgot to mention that it also cools my single gpu. One noctua 140 silent in the front and a 120 in the back. The Zalman Reserator is a great beast. And not made for moving the computer to often, haha.

Please do in depth videos on each topic. We can never get too much info! :)

Thanks Jay. Well done as usual.

Im new to liquid cooling... i would really appreciate a coolant video, if possible. If you have a video on the subject, i would appreciate it if you link me. Thanks. Ive noticed people use water, but i see that EK sells their own coolant. Whats the difference?

My neighbor totaled his Cummins, so i too, his fass 150gph loft pump. Works like a charm for water cooling!

Thanks Jay. I was wondering if the size of the res mattered in overall cooling. If it doesn't matter, maybe having a 250 would help in setup, maintenance and aesthetics. I think I'll have plenty of room in my new full tower.

More Videos about watercooling were nice :) Great Video as always :D

Hey Jay, thanks for this video. Have you ever had issue with pwm not being able to adjust the rpm in the pump?

Custom water cooling is so unnecessary, yet so beautiful.

+josh Subet Wtf your comment makes no sense - water cannot be bios flashed and air cannot be stock cooled. Trust me though, after trying both air and water, the latter is definitely better! I've had a Cooler Master Hyper 212, a Cooler Master TPC-800 and the Phanteks PH-TC14PE air coolers. The Phanteks allowed me to stably OC my FX-8320 to 4.8GHz@1.45V which is still pretty damn good. However, with a 420mm radiator, I can push the FX-8320 higher to 5GHz@1.52V AND have the fans spin at one of the lowest RPM's all while keeping under 65C when gaming. To dissipate half the amount of heat on air, the fans had to be turned up to pretty high RPM's meaning it was incredibly noisy. I couldn't even get the CPU to 5GHz on air as it would heat past its thermal limit to around 76C and would cause too many instabilities. To sum it up, watercooling keeps the components cooler and does so with less noise. It's a win win situation.

+TinchoX He said CUSTOM water cooling. Because you don't use custom water cooling means you use air? No it means you just get an AIO water cooler, not custom.

Can't wait until I have the money to watercool my system, Going for a white hardware and purple nano cooling fluid, have a feeling that it's going to be amazing.

I'd just like to toss in some info, not that it matters much, but POM and acetal are the same material! It's known as Acetal, POM, or Delrin (DuPont's trade name for the material). It has a very wide variety of uses, and typically comes in either white or black, and occasionally in its natural color which is a sort of ivory. It's very popular for water cooling parts because it has a very high melting point andis very thermally insulative; it's good for keeping the heat inside your loop and not leaking the heat into your system like metals would, and as an added bonus it's an absolute dream to machine. It cuts very smoothly and does pretty much exactly what you need with no fuss. It's overall a perfect material for the application.

nice, I didnt really know the difference of performance characteristics between D5 and DDC, just that one is circle one is sqaure and the DDC is slightly smaller

Great videos Jay. I am noob doing my first water cooling loop. Unknowingly I bought a pump without speed control wire, it just has molex, so it runs full speed all the time...is there something I can wire in or add to give it a speed control option? Or wire to motherboard fan controller somehow? Im running an older Dell XPS 8700 board so probably have limited control options there.

thanks for the videos,,,i learned a lot from you,,,what is the pc case in the background? GOD i love the coolants color....awsome

Jay, would it be possible for you to make a video where you can review other pumps for budget conscious PC users who are liquid cooling their PCs? Like you said, the D5 and DDC pumps are very expensive. But maybe, you can look through all the other pumps out there and make recommendations based on affordability while sacrificing little to no reliability.

This is a great explanation. Subscribed. Keep it up.

yes please! make a detailed video like this one on GPU Blocks and maybe CPU Blocks.

Jay, I need your help. I purchased the full block for the ASUS Maximus Hero VIII from Bitspower. But the instructions are not all that great. I have however figured out how to mount it...but now....the plumbing.....there's nothing on the instructions as to what the inner diameter and outer diameter of the fittings should be. I want to use hard PETG tubing, because it gives it that rigid hard bend look, so compression fittings are my only option. I'm only water cooling the bitspower block....the GPU (EVGA GTX 1080 hybrid) has the Water cooling built in to it. I'm putting everything into a Thermaltake "The Tower 900" case. I've got tons of space....I want to make it look busy. So I might add lots of turns and bends with the water cooling to fill the space...(its gonna cost me on fittings, but I am going for the busy look). What's your thought on a lager radiator, a 360, 480 or a 540? Is too much water capacity going to burst the cooling block, or cause an imminent leak? Or should I go with a minimum amount of water capacity? I guess whats more important here is that I need to know what size fittings I need, to be abel to do this, and how do I find a radiator and reservoir with the same size fitting requirements? Bits power has two sizes of fittings....the one size I see alot is the 1/4"ID to 3/8OD". Please break it down in laymans terms...I"m new at this...infact this is my very first water cooling attempt. I'm going for the gold standard here. Your videos are both inspiring and funny. These videos are what drove me to want to attempt this....I believe anyone can accomplish anything, with the right information at hand. Your teachings are very informative, and I Thank you for that. I'm sure there are many out there, that have you to thank for their systems. Keep up the good work.

you didn't mention some nice pumps like aquastream from aquacomputer - less flow, more pressure, and tons of features.

So if you're using a DDC pump should you water cool your water cooling?

thank you for this guide.

I can comfirm that 13feet for the d5. I got my pump, the heatsink (mora2) and a filter in my basement, and the pc (an old ek waterblock and a 2080 auros) in the living room. There is like 10m of tubing, and around 3m in height difference. If the system is full, the water circulates without a problem. But I can't fill it from the bottom, because the pump can't overcome the resistance, and the circulation won't start.

Excellent! and thank you for this

a bigger res means more thermal mass so the water heats up slower it doesn't cool better for sustained loads, but it does help for short bursts

im deffinantly giving this a like, please make more in depth videos of every part. i will watch all of them. i liked the overview video as an intro but i ant to know more details so i can get the best to fit my new system.

Hi Jay, would you be able to advise on the operating temps for pumps? How hot is too hot and what temps can we afford on CPU/GPU before we start damaging the pump (assuming you have no in line thermometer somewhere in the tubing). Thanks!

I'm using an EK (Lowara) D5 PWM pump that runs at about 40%. it pushes through EK supremacy EVO and EK GTX 980 Ti Classified full cover water blocks. also through an EK-CoolStream PE 480 and Alphacool NexXxoS 280mm UT60 rads without a problem. when i was first filling my loop, the pump was having trouble pushing the water through, but once the entire loop was filled the water started moving super fast. i actually have another bare EK \ Lowara D5 PWM pump sitting in drawer that i was going to add to the loop, but it looks like I won't be needing it. i wouldn't recommend a DDC pump no matter what. they are LOUD!! if you are short on space just use a smaller res to make room for a D5. thank me for this advice latter.

Hold on there Jay...EK actually has 2 other pumps that they were selling on their site prior to the D5 and DDC they have now; the DCP 2.2 and the DCP 4.0 - the DCP 4.0 that I have now came standard with a 3 pin connection so as to connect to a decent fan controller (the current DCP 4.0 has a separate PWM connection).

If you're going to explain to folks just starting out that there's only 2 pumps out there worth any form of salt, then I think you're going to scare a few away - possibly on cost alone. I agree that the Laing pumps are great; but I found on my 1st build - after a short F/U with a bay res + built-in pump - that the EK DCP 4.0 was all my budget could afford, and it was one hell of a pump + it already had G1/4 threads built in. I'm not trying to call you out - and I apologize if that's the way it came out - I really think that folks just getting into this form of PC cooling need all the information they can possibly ingest prior to getting into it.

UnderwearThief And that statement means what - in terms that some of us old farts can understand (lol).

Can you do a video examining the relative merits of low end water cooling components, and perhaps even non purpose-built stuff? Id love to watercool, but its incredibly cost prohibitive.

I got a old school Eheim pump for i think 5 years almost. It doesn't look that nice but never had anny troubles so far and it is on alot. The only downside is that it runs one 220V (EU) so you need to use a relai. But hey thats almost 5 years ago that i bought that pump xD if it ever fails il buy something smaller and nice looking. But i think that will take a while

could you make a video on the affects of fan filters on air flow fans?

DEAD ON JAY! more content on this please and Thank You.

jay my favorite d5 is the aquacomputer d5 with aquabus and usb lol

@jay I wonder why you don't mention the german brands "Aquacomputer" and "Watercool"? Both are very high if not the highest quality watercooling brands on the market and sell watercoolings partts for nearly 20 (!!!) years. I think you should take a closer look and review some of their stuff.

Awesome video! I would love to hear more about the GPU water blocks.

If you have shorter period/burst of heat then it should help be able to have less peak temperature but at the same time take longer time to reach low temps, so perhaps helps for developer compiling code one minute and then resting a few. sounds like he is assuming the load is constant (probably often is).

I have made a reservoir (huge one - 750ml) from an old Decathlon water bottle, that has the exact same size at the end, as a 50mm diameter reservoir has, so you can just add the standard bottom of a tube there (you can buy it separately). Reservoir bottom - 20$, water bottle - 2$.

So with the water cooling you mentioned all the additives but you never mentioned silver. I was hoping to get to know your opinion on silver and additives for water cooling and what a silver coil would do in a cylinder res/pump combo would it get sucked into the pump?

Jay, Could You do a Video On GPU Blocks? (Types, Materials, Etc) Would be really helpful! what would you recommend and which perform the best?

thx, jayz awesome video.

Was wondering where this was. Missed the feed for it. I know I want to get a nice sized cylinder, not for cooling capacity, but more for aesthetics of the system.
