For those who are asking about what tool Jay uses for cleaning his freshly cut ends, it looks like the Primochill finishing bit. Jay said he's using 10/13mm tubing but Primochill doesn't make one specifically for that size. I would venture to guess he's using the 3/8" x 1/2" bit since they are nearly identical.

PS All true. Jay I really like your attention to detail you show every fitting in your loop. I feel that attention to detail is the key to a Leak Proof System. I would like to share a few tips. 1. There are a lot of different fittings out there. and like you showed, a lot of different types of sealing systems. However, I can't stress this enough. When choosing fittings, the number individual peaces that make up one fitting is directly related to the possibility of a catastrophic fail (or leak). Meaning: Every place that seals a fitting to tubing, waterblock to tubing, waterblock to fitting, ext. IS A POTENTIAL LEAK. (EVERYONE) Reducing this number of SEALS without losing the quality of the long term seal and attention to detail to sealing each fitting one at a time will insure a long lived leak proof system. There is one thing I do when sealing up a custom water loop you may want to try. Teflon Tape. I tar it into thin strips and rap everything that's threaded, O-Ringed or not.

Well intel is already in the panic stage, and Nvidia doesn't look much better off. The 5700 cards has caught them napping. It's true they aren't performance leaders, yet, but they are sure value leaders in the mid range and below. The 5700 XT trades blows with the 2070 Super, and I doubt Nvidia was expecting that, or that the competition would be priced as aggressively as it was. The 2070 Super was a necessary development or they could have just handed over the keys to the palace to AMD. And with the 2070 Super coming so close to the 2080 they had to release a S version of that too. Meanwhile the 2080 TI has so strong performance that there was nothing threatening it, but it looks like they think that could be about to change. A few days back I noticed that the webshop I buy almost all parts from were dropping the price on every 2080 TI they list. I'm guessing that is because Nvidia is about to present an updated model. If they wait for the announcement there's a risk they will be left sitting on stock while almost everyone with the money for these expensive cards are waiting for the new shiny. They still have quite a lot of the 1080 TI in stock and now they can't get rid of these without dropping the prices radically. So I'm guessing they do not want to be left with a lot of the 2080 TI taking up shelf space and tying up a lot of money again. What I think we are going to get is a 2080 TI Super of some kind. I don't think it's going to be a new architecture, it's to soon for that, but rather a upgraded version of the existing TI. And it's quite obvious why they would choose to do that. They've had these GPU's in production for about a year now (launched September 27, 2018) and have had time to get the production trimmed in. With some polish they should be able to get just a bit more performance out of the TU102-300 design, and with the threat of AMD launching Big Navi that could potentially threaten Nvidia in the high end segment, and possibly even do it at a lower price point they certainly isn't going to just hope that AMD stumbles and fail to follow up the success with the 5700 series. When Nvidia released the RTX series they had no real competition in the mid to high performance market. Instead of going for maximum performance they put their money into developing the RT cores and the technology to accelerate ray tracing. Now it turns out that the performance just isn't there to support ray tracing in games while keeping the frame rates high, and neither the game developers nor the gamers has not flocked to the tech. Meanwhile AMD is now threatening to match the raw performance at a better price, and gamers are buying these cards even without any support for ray tracing. This is bound to make the management nervous, especially if they aren't close to being finished with the successor to their current lineup.

To elaborate on Jay's point of "brass and copper are okay together", brass isn't an elemental metal (i.e. Aluminium, Copper, Iron, Tin, etc.), it is a metal alloy (the combination of two metals--specifically Copper and Zinc). Being an alloy of Copper and Zinc, brass (on its own) does not react negatively with either metal. Thus using Copper and brass in a loop will not have negative affects.

That tubing is going to look so good. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Where I live it is common practice to use copper tubing for water installations in bathrooms and kitchens. So nickel plated copper tubing in all sizes is cheap and readily available. And bending softened copper tube requires a simple tool (so inserts, sand or water required) which is, again, not so expensive, and copper tubes cost, ironically, less per meter than PETG tubing from PC water-cooling brands. Win!

Watching your build videos here always make me feel like I want to change up my computer stuff, although I really should right now considering I got my loop so it ends with the CPU block going right into the reservoir rather than radiator to res

Not gonna lie, if I do a hard tube open loop water cooling build, I'm definitely using those Alphacool fittings. That demonstration totally sold me on their clamping force.

The metal tubing will look slick when finished. Makes me want to switch to metal. Would be interested in seeing the copper pipe build. I am curious as to how it would look over the long term (ie. the tarnishing). Glass would be cool too. Mod it to look like a system from a lab.

If and when i upgrade, I'm thinking about building a GEO cooler (big coil of tube buried in the ground). Then it will always be cooler then the air in the summer and really cold in the winter.

This build is going to be insane!

It'd be kinda cool if you could somehow combine the pump, reservoir, and distribution plate into a block of components. Rotate the distribution plate 180° from the position you had it, where the fatter end is lower, put the pump behind the plate, then find a reservoir that would fit the cutout the plate has. A cuboid reservoir would work well, part of it could stick out past the distribution plate, while the back portion could sit over the pump. Not only do you keep the distribution plate, you hide the pump which would have been difficult to integrate into the theme, and you're able to add some depth with the plate and reservoir combo is three dimensional rather than fairly planar. The reservoir may not look large, but you're also filling up the depth introduced by layering the pump and distribution plate, rather than the typical reservoir that fills the height of the case. I also mentioned rotating the distribution block, to put the reservoir up higher and more central in the case, because this would result in better accomplishment of adding dimension to the looks, where not rotating the distribution block would result in the reservoir being in the front bottom corner where it wouldn't add much to the aesthetics. But there's honestly too many ways you could incorporate that plate, my suggestion is just one of them. All depends on how much work you want to put into the build to keep it. But I personally think hiding the pump and having more 3-dimensionality in the aesthetics would work well for the theme. Plus it'd be something different to do, rather than just using the same basic set of components in a similar layout to most builds.

If you want to avoid scratching those fittings check out jewlers' tools. They come with silicone or plastic pads on the "grippy" parts of the pliers to prevent damaging delicate finishes.

Jay is the kind of guy to have his house built without plumbing so he can do it himself.

Bridge = chrome leaf Go to a model shop and get some chrome leaf. It's a very very thin chrome layer you can lay on the item you want chrome, then you just rub it on with a qtip. Once on you just clear coat and done. We use it for bumpers on module cars, instrument panels, I did an entire plane once that turned out great, looked like aluminum with the right weathering applied.

Love the video Jay. Not to sound know-it-all, but the primochill compression fittings can be turned using a hex as well. If you look closely at the top of the threads, there are marks that align to a hex lug. I owned my set for years before I noticed them.

To be honest I've never owned a desktop computer I really like building things I'm a machinist by trade I've really learned a lot from J I appreciate everything you do soon I'll save up enough to start building my own rig thank you for everything
