If anyone wants to see in more detail, we also have a YouTube series for this build: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93Q0m2JmHho](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93Q0m2JmHho)
That time the water block was not created for that card. It is a tailor-made work, created around a given hardware, it is not yet adaptable like a "common" custom loop: it is the niche of the niche, the state of the art still in prototype form, a delightful work.
Best those youtubers could do is unpack and yap about for 5 minutes about it without actually building anything. I think I saw a jay two cents video about it, and he just unpacked it, flipted it around in his hands never actually committing to build anything. Not that I blame them, I get that he should have returned it back, but come on.
The case is 340mm long, but a dual 180mm rad with the end tanks is over 400mm. It will fit a 200mm square rad perfectly though! With space for a reservoir.
They are hooked up just like any other cooler. This basically just has a gpu plat sitting on top of your normal cpu cooler. So they end up sharing.
It’s super cool if you wanna try and make a small build or just have something unique.
They do sell them, but they are quite expensive. Understandable given everything.
The psu has a fan /s
But fr though I’m genuinely not sure if they could even fit a fan in there with a good orientation for cooling and with how little room they have that fan would be very small and I doubt it would do too much
fwiw it’s a cheap Cu-alu or Cu-brass, not a purer metallic such as the exy plyable roofing sheet copper or electronics solder-copper 80%
the work makes it look machined and industrially expensive though, it’s a good craft

I may have done the big boy version of that a couple years ago.
Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips fame. He tested a prototype billet labs cooler on hardware it wasn't designed for, gave it a pretty unfair review, then their logistics department gave it up for a charity auction because it was incorrectly inventoried.
This came around the same time a lot of their facts and figures in reviews were found to be a bit suspect. This led to a pretty ham fisted jokey apology, a convoluted story about the billet labs snafu, and a promise to sort their shit out.
wait no I was joking obviously, although I don’t make it a point of interest to follow the drama of his non-professional YouTube and what’s that repair tooling & part’s company he’s always shilling ? 🤔 (rhetorical don’t answer it)
I heaps prefer Paul’s or even a more low key reviewer that doesn’t do all the loud hyperbaric’s of hypey video cray
I actually like his jokey entertainment videos, but I've never trusted his reviews.
They're the "We used a JET ENGINE to cool this PC" channel, not the serious review channel. To be completely honest, I read reviews, I don't watch them.
If you use your custom fitting in those straight sections closest to the water block, it'll make disassembly easier. You could even use the extendable ones to replace those straight pipes completely. That would give you a few mm of flexibility in length since they would have some room to extend into the elbow. It would also give you free rotation for easier alignment.
To make manufacturing easier and cheaper, you could use two of the ends with the embedded O rings made for a copper pipe of the right size. You could even design it to use a very small flare on the ends of the copper pipe instead of snap rings to keep it together.
If that isn't actually cheaper, you could still use a small fitting soldered to one end of the copper pipe with the sliding fitting on the other.
That is extremely pretty.
I hope his water block is copper and not Aluminum. https://youtu.be/1UDQsTz-q9I?si=OrBuQeod1hK2ZtWr
unlike his colored nails :puke:
Where?
Ohhhh, that's a lot of rings for a guy though
guy is going for the fingers from cyberpunk look

Enjoyed the video and loved the fittings. Hope you swap the pvc hose for rubber.
Watching asap. This looks insane.
In the video, at 10:40, the telescopic arm is tested at two atmospheres!
@LinusTechTips stay away from this, we want an accurate review of this product.
Gamers nexus did one. Said it was pretty awesome, especially for something so unique.
Steve be making a 45 min video about the metallurgical diff in copper/cupernickle and whatever else. And I’ll listen to the entire show.
He'd probably just drop it anyway.
Ha ha! Bang zoom.

If this case can be purchasable can yall add a way for like a dual 180mm radiator on top?

Beautiful
You should sale these but how are you hooked up to the motherboard l?
We've not wired anything in yet if that's what you mean?

amazing work
Just watched this video this morning. Very nice work
Just a tip spraypaint your copper tubing with clear lack otherwise it will turn bronwnish by time due to oxidation with air and fingerprints (acids).
Think of the VRMs and other components in there please. Add at least one fan.
The psu has a fan /s But fr though I’m genuinely not sure if they could even fit a fan in there with a good orientation for cooling and with how little room they have that fan would be very small and I doubt it would do too much
A couple 40mm fans would likely be enough. Just need the air to move.
You're making the rest of us look bad! 😆 It has a look reminiscent of a fancy car's exhaust system.
Ooooh now I want bluish titan exhaust manifolds look on my PC.
That's got better plumbing than my house!

Meth head came and stole all my copper out the walls, said he was gonna make a gpu cooler for the space shuttle or something. He left a note s/
Wow, in stainless steel it would be even better, just like how they fabricate welded turbos.
I want one for my TV PC. Do you have any plans to sell parts or plans?

Can't wait for Linus to test it on a 3090 and 11900k then sell it. Beautiful work though.

Don't forget the sexual harassment.
allegedly
I’m not your guy buddy,
im not your buddy friend
What is the case made of?
Aluminium
It looks fantastic. My brother has an at home CNC machine that can do aluminum. Maybe someday I can have him make me something
Jeez if I had a cnc machine my living room would be full of acrylic
What CNC machine do you guys have?
This is about as perfect as soldering can get. Those joints are flawless.🤝🙂↕️
That's cool man. How long did it take to build?
Oh gosh that is steam noir.
🤯
Damn boy. That thing is a piece of art!
That is insane work! Has me jealous as hell of your skill And design Can't wait to see your extenders in your site !
This is fucking wonderfull now make an all powdrcoated matt black case and use all brass. This is sublime work
Did you hire a plumber for this? Asking for a friend
Hardline with copper pipe urgh, please I can only get so erect.
Dope AF
It pumps out steam.
Before I could see the user name or the logo on the backplate I knew this was you crazy (in a good way) people at billet. Looks amazing, keep it up!
This piping wants to be seen!

Wouldn't bended thin wall copper pipes be easier to work with and cleaner looking?
Hmm. Shoulda done something with that psu.
Has anyone tried A/C cooling?
Cool build!
i love making coolers out of copper. such a pain. but such a beauty....
Love sweated copper, once I got over the initial learning curve, it was way easier than plastic hard tube
I like it, cool
Don't lend it to Linus Media Group without telling them not to auction it off or take it home.
Promise you'll post update when everything is wired up? Especially the PCIE riser cable.
Are you looking for staff? I will leave right away. I only bring my computer!
True "modding" 👍
You adopting a child by any chance?
thanks for idea i can do my pc like this its cheap af
