FAQs:
Q: How much did it cost?
A: The liquid cooling parts cost about $700, making this PC around $400-$550 more expensive than a non-Liquid cooled PC. (Remember, you still have to buy fans or a cooling system for the CPU and GPU if you don't liquid cool).

How did I manage to watch this entire video without an ad? Thank you and awesome video!

This is honestly the best primer on liquid cooling I've seen. Concise, to-the-point, and sufficiently thorough. I feel like I have an excellent starting point to research from, and also feel much more confident in undertaking the task. Thank you!

One of the best videos i've watched on Youtube. The details are accurate , you deserve more suscribers. Thank you for your videos wishing you good luck on Youtube.

Absolutely the best how-to for beginners that I have seen, and I've looked at hundreds over the last week or so. I've been building, both for personal and professionally as a custom builder since the "Personal Computer" was introduced in the 1970's, so I have a TON of experience with hardware and software, but I am attempting my 1st Liquid Cooled system, and am understandably leery of running LIQUID through a boxed enclosure containing $2000 worth of ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! (as I have told my wife Many Times over the years: Water and Electronics::NOT GOOD BEDFELLOWS!) So THANK YOU for this. I am subscribing immediately. Very concise yet detailed, PERFECT

As I've been planning a custom loop in the NCase since seeing this video, I find myself coming back to watch this video often. Super informative and well done tutorial, invaluable.

This is one of the best youtube videos I've seen ever. You: - Use object names - Explain steps - Explain rationality behind decisions - Offer other ideas within scope that don't interrupt the flow of the video Great vid

Great vid. Went through steps, showed examples of things, kept it fun & light & no unnecessary talking points, unlike some other people. Always nice when you get people that make processes easier.

Excellent videos--both in information and production--respectful of the viewers' time. I'd bet that the video production took more time and effort than the PC build. Thanks for sharing your great work!
