jay actually said the stuff is about the same price as the offerings from EK on his review for the radiators and stuff alone, so for the quality of the stuff compared to EK, its actually really well priced. just thought I'd point this out as a FYI.

It’s not necessarily expensive. Optimus water blocks are head and shoulders above in quality vs everything’s else.
Blackout fittings, block and tubing is gorgeous.
4:59 that slide in just looked so smooth.
This may be the cleanest sleekest build I've ever seen. I love the colors, and the complete ridiculousness of that much cooling.
That soundtrack went about 5000% harder than necessary and I love it
I will never get tired of watching Phil's computer showcases he does, they are simply amazing.
One word, CLEAN. Those black fittings, tubes, and the block are beautiful.
Definitely the end of an era when it comes to EK Products in Skunkworks but EK did that to themselves. These Blocks and this theme is freaking cool Super stealthy looking

Jay, you should go find the hand/ manual vacuum bleeder kit. It comes with multiple fittings and rubber stoppers that will allow you to hook it up to your hard lines, and also typically have a intermediate canister (meant for capturing brake fluid). They usually span from 30-70 bucks depending on what you get. That way you can pull those air bubble right out and make the whole process trivial. Also not breaking the bank for other hardline/custom loop enthusiasts.
Good lord, it looks so dope now. Big improvement to my eye for sure! Even kinda like how the bubbles delineate the flow path in the distro plate. It's like that micro machines level.
That mini circular saw is so badass. I have no need for it but I got to have one now, thanks..

Man, aesthetically, this might be my favourite build of yours yet.
I love these skunkworks videos, I have been saving for 2 years to do my custom loop and decided to scrap my all EK build idea to go a different route. So excited for watercooling month. Keep up the good work Jay and team.
Loving this iteration of Skunkworks! It’s amazing how much you’ve improved with time! Also that edit was s tier

This setup looks absolutely amazing. Black tube and fittings are great, love the 2 different loop and fan colors. Great job on this build!
My hat goes off to Phil. At 8:25 that editing to have the lights come on in time with the music. Beautiful!
Gotta say that I really like that case. I wouldn't *want* to need to take my pc apart often, but if I needed to, I like that the mb is attached to an entire panel that removes.
Remember to take care of your health, Jay 🙏

Only if you stitch in Arnold “you are wonugly mudderfhaker” from the predator every time he messes up a bend
I have not been 100% in love with all the other cases this is tight as heck. Outstanding, love the blue and purple.
Looks awesome! The amount of RGB is perfect and not over the top and the pattern set for them is perfect. Love the black tubing, having the two loops a different color I think looks good!
Every time I see someone eyeballing a joint I wonder why no one ever uses a goniometer. I can see why Jay wouldn't need one because he's done it so much it's not necessary but if I were water cooling my system today I would totally spend $8 on a quick angle protractor measuring tool.
Beautiful build. I'm glad Jay is still doing custom liquid loops so I can admire his and don't have to build one again. Once was more than enough.
This video is just a complete flex on everyone. Jay building a badass pc with no EK products, and Phil's crazy awesome editing skills.
Looking good. Nothing beats a Case Labs case. When my wife comes within two feet of my Case Labs case I politely ask her to step away a little ... it's not replaceable.
Fan count can go crazy, my Tower 900 build has (9) 140mm and (4) 120mm. Yet even with all those fans it's still almost silent because of the overkill 560mm and 480mm rads only needing the fans set to 35%.
Holy montage Batman! That was amazing. Great build and great video!
I actually love the chilled look of the coolant, someone should make a reservoir that makes it look like that
Jay, you are a confident builder. Place it on a large vibration table and observe how quickly the bubbles disappear.
Your build is AMAZING! Makes me glad I have a Fractal Define 7 with a solid panel! No temptation to make things pretty!

13:27 Me when I sit down on leather car seats in the summer.
no parts list?
Fellow Commenters, You _know_ it had to take a lot of effort to get rid of all the EK components. Sure, some of it might still be perfectly functional and usable, but respecting the ethics to not glorify them until they get their act together again. I still love, love, love how clean Jay makes these builds look. It's awe inspiring. Tangent as it may be, with my semi-annual loop maintenance coming up, I *finally* caught a break and got some compression fittings for the size of soft tubes. Now just trying to secure a set of 45-degree adapters so I could make some clean lines when I redo the tubing on my main pc.
That settles it Jay, you've inspired me to black out my own build once more. Excellent work, I think this rendition of Skunkworks is my favorite of the bunch. The fans really compliment the build as you mentioned they would with the angles.
Jay, I'm always so impressed how you get everything to just line up so damn perfect. I wish my runs always came out this clean. Even with offsets, I can't seem to get everything on straight lines. Either that, or the offset fittings end up just taking over the entire aesthetic. Really nice job on Skunkworks. I've always been a fan of this build.
I do love being able to buy $1000+ of products to replace perfectly good stuff because of some poor business strategy. Oh wait, I live in the real world and can’t do that.

@@TrippyTimesTwo Is this why you're ostracised from society... Where the only engagement you get is online by making an arse out of oneself because you're disconnect. You can be on a comfortable income and to suddenly change your water blocks out because of the name on those blocks, not the performance, not because they need replacing, not because they're getting pulled apart for cleaning and you break something... They're being removed because of a brand name that Jay still stands by his tests on all the blocks they've sent out...
Yay can you please be more objective. I don't think it's ok for you to state ''EK stuff is on the bottom, in the basement, where it belongs''. Clearly you liked their products before all this shitshow happened, because you put it in your own PC build. If you don't want to use it anymore because of your own principles, that is completely fine. I am subscribed to channels like yours so i can see the good and the bad sides of the products you review and then decide by myself to buy or not buy the product

I really love the black matte look. Especially the tubes look real slick, gives me sport car vibes like BMW M or Audi S cars. I would love to see Jay spray paint his own "performance" marking on the ends of the tubes, like BMW and Audi have in the grill for the M and S series.
Nice build. It's great to see a quality step by step video and thought process. Thanks
You need aquacomputer shield thing. Makes it sooooo easy to fill, drain and remove air, as it just pumps the air out (which sucks in the fluid) so your drain becomes your fill port.
This was like PC ASMR. I found it so relaxing and those camera angles were montage gold. But that shot of Jay with Engineers Tongue is going to stick with me longer than I would like. Build looks amazing to boot.
IMHO this is your ultimate build so far... just stunning! Awesome work Jay! 👌
B Roll shots in this one were absolutely Epic. Hats off to Phil! Also love the dual color loops.
the gradient between the blue transitioning into the purple looks nice
Man, seeing you work is astonishing! Amazing build!
I really enjoyed watching this build series or rebuild series as it were. And even my dog Max watched this final installment with great intensity. And as others said, the edit was phenomenal. It's a great team over there.
The chill beats montage of putting together expensive PC parts while sprinkling in some funny bits is my favorite part of your channel Jay please more vids like this. Some explaining of the parts and why but then like close ups of of the parts being put together lets us see everything much clearer I think
Dang I must say, I think this is my favorite iteration of Skunk Works...looks incredible, Jay! Dual color actually gives it a nice aesthetic...subtle and different but fits the build
Thanks! I love your work. I would love a few days in your shop!
Love the two colors indicating which part they're cooling. Build looks crispy.
Next level build AND editing. Great works, guys!
a couple of thing on the amazing job of swapping out your inferior EK parts for far superior Optimus parts. I am with you though about the acrylic block for the ports. I've always wanted that changed for something similar what Alphacool are doing with their Core range which also means you have far more robust metal threads instead of dreadful acrylic. I've been a massive fan of Optimus for a long time now and I wrote to them as soon as I knew you were going to be using them as I was concerned that they would get a big influx of business and not be able to meet the demand. They were quick to reply explaining that they have recently updated processes to be able to manufacture much higher volumes to meet demand as in the past it was difficult to get the parts without a long wait on the lead time. This is no longer an issue despite the website saying everything is out of stock.

Great to see those techniques and knowledge coming together in an ace build.
I didn’t expect black and blue to look so good! Great choice!
Just finished a z11 build with external radiator...the internal I/o turned out to be a great idea. Cuz it does get really hot.. excellent airflow and temps. Thanks who ever returned it...,74$.. when filling a tough to fill loop, use a 2nd power supply on the pump to get them bubbles out... cycle power while PC is in use...and when wanting to game correctly...use sync /free sync + limit fps in the oc software which ties into Nvidia driver setting.. and undervolt ... With user defined curve...200 watts vs 580
11:23 You should make the front fans blue and purple chasing each other. Clockwise or counter clockwise, your call.
This build looks better than the last one to be honest, the black tubing is just perfect.
I love building pc, and I'd like how you were so carefully putting it together. I also do the same thing.
the beauty shots gave me tron legacy vibes with clean black/grey with simple bright colored trim in the lighting. always great aesthetic and looks great in this instance.
Even better looking than the last, and that's saying a lot. Nice upgrade and no points docked for those EK fittings we can't even see. Like you said, they're where they belong.
Sweet build Jay. The black theme esp tubing looks awesome.
Applauds to the JTC team, this was an amazing build and camera/editing job on a video. A++++ will watch again :)

I liked the other iterations of Skunkworks but I am in love with this one. It's sick and stealthy and I love the fact you used the CaseLabs case and black tubing
I've never seen anyone so upset over the actions of a company that he tore apart a computer and rebuilt it with almost no parts from said company remaining. And the new version is beautiful. I love how clean everything looks. You do good work, Jay.
@Jayztwocents use another res as a catch can with your vacuum pump attached to one side, and the other side of the res attached to the top most port of your loop's res. draw a vacuum slowly while the loop pump is on and it will make the air bubbles expand, then they will get pushed through to the res. and any fluid that gets pulled out will end up in your 'catch' res for you to re-use.
This tubing is SICK. I really love this matte black color.
I think it looks fantastic, the black pipes actually look much better than i thought.
I actually put in 2 bathroom exhaust fans in room 1 behind the tower to remove all heat from room and it works seriously well lol.
AWESOME think iam gonna have to ditch my clear acrylic tubes now. 😱
If you apply vacuum to the loops now you can force the air out of the glycol that is still dissolved.
Thank you for doing what most of us can't. I used to be very proud of my loop but having the EK logo on half of the parts feels bad now.
Beautiful build and an even better montage. Well done to both of you.
Jay's channel is absolutely unique in the way Jay & the team focus on the stuff that we actually need to know, while still being real people you could have a beer and a laugh with. I found myself watching a Jay review from early days about a used keyboard I found on E-B, and Jay is still the same person as back then, no dumb ego stuff has developed over the years.
You also could have done a gravity fill by having a large bottle tied to a tube above the case and then move the case vertical horizontal vertical horizontal to work the bubbles out
omg this looks so good.matte black hardline tubing is just so beautiful
Always love to see you build your own rig. Looks great dude!
Congrats Jay! Beautiful build as always. Someday I'll build in my SM8A, but it will clearly be a retro build when I get around to it!
That was a great start with missing the screw. We need a whole montage of J missing stuff
I’m actually jealous of how bad ass that looks! Blocks look amazing! Fans look amazing! Everything looks amazing! Love seeing these ideas and builds come to life.
This is the best that skunkworks has ever looked. You’ve got me hyped for my new build this fall.
Gorgeous! Stunningly gorgeous! Well done, mate! This is probably the BEST edition of Skunkworks I've ever seen.
Been busy over the last year and haven't really watched much. Jay has really packed on the pounds over the last year. I still remember how good he looked after his last weight loss journey, just to let himself go again.
I still love the looks of the Lian Li fans. Despite my V1 fans having basically all their blue LEDs fail. And of course I only noticed now, that they're a month out of warranty...
Wow stunning. Love this build
Hey Jay, for crossflow rads set vertically on their side, just install them with the inlet down and the outlet up, or you'll hate yourself :) I did the same thing once and just flipping that rad around solved the problem entirely. speeding up the pump bleeds them completely.
WOW Jay! You out did yourself on this one. That's one of the best builds I've seen. Looks amazing!
