 Now I know what you're thinking, a custom liquid cooling loop for less than an AIO cooler Clickbait, clickbait, not true, but wait! No, it's true! For $52.21 with Prime shipping on Amazon.com I obtained everything I will need to build a custom water cooling loop for my CPU Now what kind of hardware did he find for that kind of a price? That's a great question, and I'm gonna show you This is gonna be a good one Vertigears ergonomic S and plus lines of gaming chairs make for a great addition to any gaming setup Check them out at the link in the video description Okay, let's run through what we got here And I'm gonna tell you guys right off the hop that shopping for these was not particularly easy The AGP-TEK 12-pipe aluminum heat exchanger radiator for PC, for example Did not even include the specs of what size the barbs are And actually looking at the picture telling the difference between 1⁄4 inch and 3⁄8 inch barbs is not that easy But, uh, hey, for $16.99, I'm feeling pretty good about this purchase Alright, next up is the pump This is not what was in the picture So if this works, then great. It's rated at 240 liters per hour flow with 3 meters of max head Theoretically plenty. No connector or anything, but we'll solve that problem later And finally the centerpiece of my water cooling loop This thing, same thing, man, Amazon needs like a scale next to pictures on their site because look at this Look at this. Product page. Looks pretty big, right? In person, the Lenx Pure Red Copper water cooling block for CPU, graphics, radiator, heat sink, 40 by 40 millimeter Which I guess should have tipped me off Is this dinky little thing? Before we get started there are a few more things that we need So first of all I scrounged up some tubing, a mixture of 1⁄4 inch and 3⁄8 This can be obtained very cheaply so it doesn't affect the price of our setup much And a couple of 3⁄8 to quarter inch reducers as well as a 3⁄8 inch tee Because we don't want to waste money on a budget project like this on a dedicated reservoir We'll show you how to use that later. Next up, we'll need our soldering iron. Why is the sponge missing for this? Why? Why? We will need our drill We'll need a sacrificial molex connector, a sacrificial case side panel, and we'll need some screws Along with anything else that I realized that I've forgotten along the way. Is there any PC that's not totally mis- The Wanshow PC! I'll use my Franken cooling solution on the Wanshow PC So in order to do that we will need a baseline reading for the temperatures with the Noctua NH Something not- D9L that's in there right now, NH-D9 whatever the cooler that's in there right now to compare Against our custom liquid cooler. So check this out 61 degrees on the CPU. Let's see if we can beat that shall we? Our $25 special does not come with any mounting hardware Whatsoever. We're gonna need a hold down plate. It's gonna be the ghetto sort in case any of you were wondering We're gonna center this baby by eyeball. I'm gonna find a bit It's big enough for these babies to come through. Oh! Oh, the eyeballing it system works again. I mean, it's like if uh, it's like if art was more beautiful Where my screws go? 832, 832, 832 Washers or or Stick with me here A zillion washers One zillion washers now presumably you could find like some plastic junk or you could use a proper length screw and that would solve this problem for you, but I'm nothing if not willing to Do things entirely the wrong way for the sake of finishing this video right now. That was probably a lot of thermal compound. Oh Yeah, 20 washers right there 20 washers is the magic number and arguably this is a bit of a hack for me to say the cost is $52 and whatever Because I did not factor in the cost of a fan for the radiator But I also don't think it's an entirely unfair assumption that if you have a computer It probably has a 120 millimeter fan in it somewhere. So we're gonna repurpose the one that's in the case I don't even think the product page specified that this was a 120 millimeter radiator But it would appear as though the spacing is correct Nice That looks legit, right? So when you're using a crappy pump, it's more important to Carefully plan out the position of everything within the loop So that you're able to bleed the air bubbles out because a super powerful pump will just blow them through But a crappy one will not be able to do that now the reason I chose this pump had everything to do with placement and size nothing to do with cost Which if you remember from the intro of this video is an outright lie. Let's keep it really simple not drill any more holes And let's mount it on the bottom right here so next order of business is we need some kind of PC compatible connector on our pump because it just straight up doesn't come with one because whatever right only All kinds of stripping were this easy. I wouldn't have to make YouTube videos That's the key to good stripping use your teeth Okay A couple minutes later boom molex connector there we go pumps powered the radiator is 3 8 inch So that's where I need to use Wait a minute. Oh Well, I Was just saying we needed a snag It is not 3 8 inch It's like a really enormous quarter inch Which is actually terrible because my quarter inch tubing is super old and was not particularly pliable in the first place Okay, fortunately I have this norprene tubing that I ripped off of some Swift tech thing a long time ago Shoop so positioning of the t-line very important because when we fill it we want it to go straight down to the inlet of the pump and When there are air bubbles we want them to make their way out So it has to be at the highest point yes in the loop actually up here might have been a little bit better But we're not going to stress about these minor minor details Keep in mind that normally I would put zip ties on these barbs But this is a very short-term solution, so I'm not going to bother I would also normally cut this tubing to a reasonable length, but this is expensive tubing and so I'm going to save it So let's go ahead and Let some of that water work its way into the system here, so I think I'm about to have a bit of a Bit of a witness me moment here Because this is quite possibly the jankiest thing I have ever done Online as tech tips what you guys are about to see I Need a faster way to do this not a recommended way a faster way so We are going to Put this computer on I'll do something like this And actually this was almost And actually this was a mistake I mean everything about this was a mistake, but this in particular filling the glass that was a mistake Oh, that's why I wanted the glass full now. I remember thinking Thinking it doesn't look like I'm thinking, but I assure you I am oh No, no no no no no, okay? Okay, are good theoretically It is now full. It's loud as all hell, but I realized why we probably have a postcode There's no graphics card in there, so like we could still get away with this We're going to have to give it some time But this is looking very promising it might be loud it might be janky and it might be ugly But damn it it out performs a decent aftermarket cooler coming in a whopping five degrees cooler after an extended stress fp you load in Ida 64 So thank you guys for coming along for the ride whether you believed in me from the start or whether you were a hater a member of the corrupt media and I bid you good night This Black Friday be sure to visit Ibuypower.com and be on the lookout for their door buster deals they begin on November 21st and you can shop from the comfort of your own home in your own underwear That's not to say that you would have to wear someone else's underwear if you went to a store But just to say that you wouldn't have to wear anything in addition to them So there's no need to wait in line and the deals include dozens of free upgrades for their gaming PCs and laptops This year you can even finance your Black Friday PC with month-to-month payments if you're into that sort of thing They're one of the top choices for eSports athletes and proud partners of UCI eSports CLG and cloud 9 they also offer lifetime tech support with all of their products So check them out at the link in the video description This is the revolt to by the way for those of you who don't remember the unbilled blog We did a while back, which maybe you can check out here So thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video go ahead and hit that dislike button But if you like this video hit that like button get subscribed Maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we feature today at Amazon in the video description Although I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying any of this stuff.
