Huge amount of respect for being honest about the disappointment in the flaws in the products (pump noise and off white cables) even while being very grateful for the sponsor support.

I came here because of the desk build, like many other I believe, the fact level of the video production is this high, I cant believe this is a small channel.
Also the fact that you are getting sponsor and your reaction is genuinely like that is freaking wholesome

Pump does not need to be running at 100% speed until water flow rate becomes your bottleneck.

My recommendation for itx open frame builds based on experience is this:
Ramp fans from 0%-60% for 35°C-70°C,
then 60%-80% for 70°C-80°C,
and 80%-100% for 80°C-10 under TjMax (14900K is 100°C so 90° is good).
This will prevent your CPU from throttling, but keep fans silent.

Then scale your pump from 25% (typical asetek minimum duty cycle, there will be a fan tuning tool to automatically calibrate minimum duty cycles) up to 60% for 40°C-75°C,
then 60%-100% for 75°C-85°C allows the pump to get loud if it needs to in order to prevent damage and increase longevity.

Also apply both pump and fan curves in the BIOS, sometimes software stops working or it might crash without you knowing, and it likely takes up 1-2% CPU usage just monitoring sensors, whereas bios uses more optimised control hardware. Tune your fans in windows, make sure the curve is good then transfer that to your BIOS, the performance and stability is worth it over the convenience of the windows tool.

Also the case layout is similar to the SSPUD meshlicious except the GPU connectors are at the top instead of at the bottom with right angle cables. In that case you're expected to crush the radiator inlet tube to a tight 90 to get to the "motherboard side". Might be able to look into that case to resolve any future layout issues.

Also I'll reach out via email and see if I can get a few more brand contacts your way.

counter sunk bolts will help with the bolts sticking out so much, it'll take a bit of work on the acrylic by using a counter sink drill bit and it would cloud the area around the bolt. if you use a clear acrylic glue it might help filing in the cloudiness of the counter sunk holes. just spread the glue on the clouded acrylic and have it dry [whether it is UV dry or not]

this is actually incredible. insane attention to detail and creativity. hopefully this gets the attention it deserves.

[Ajay-hbrc]

been following the custom desk and custom pc build for a bit. Absolutely loving the awesome custom work that you do!
Glad to see it all work out in the end!

[Jermungand]

Actually the noise of air it would make isn't the problem. The air would be drawn into and through the tubes, reducing the cooling performance and shortening pump lifespan. So for the same reason you don't put the pump in the highest spot of the loop, you don't put the in and outlet tubes of an AIO as the highest spot in the loop.

It's nice to see someone still genuinely be so happy with getting free parts. I sometimes get slightly annoyed with people sort of being like "o free, thanks".

Cool videos and love the enthusiasm!

[CeeJTNK]

Awesome build, thanks for including the problems you encountered and the troubleshooting! Looking forward to seeing what you do next 😊

[oliverhartle]

This is my favorite youtube channel and this inspire me to do bigger and better projects every day!

[krystofuhlir]

Congratulations on all of the amazing sponsorships! I feel so happy for you and the fact that you can find people and companies who want to help you make such amazing projects!

[GrndM]

Love your videos! I also love how grateful you are! Keep going buddy!

[MasteShredder]

You should also highlight alongside your use of customer design through technology, is the actual design and architecture behind it. Well done mate! The whole setup looks absolutely sick

[dxrrk]

1:54 you really shouldn't block off the rear vent on your power supply, it's there for a reason.

[batmangrim]

Man the best content in the last year, I am subscribed to like just 7 tech channels including this and this is the one I wait for

[smaza]

duuude the build is so clean!! your videos are such a hughlight, can't wait to see what you come up with next

[philius]

I wish there was a love button too bc I LOVE the design of the pc and the speaker stands and the desk!!❤❤❤

[craigschrickker]

Fire 🔥 fire 🔥 fire 🔥… the amount of times I have been making notes to this video and the series. I don’t have the tools you have but boy do want to build this to accompany my desk. I built a triple monitor mount out of 40x40 with space at the bottom for panels but now I want to pivot instead to building this pc. Bro your work is amazing 🤩 THANK YOU for sharing

I dont know who told you to avoid water gurgling or whatever it was, but you ALWAYS put the tubes above the level of the pump. Turn that radiator over so the tubes are on top. The reason for this is air bubbles in the loop will get into the pump and can cause it to fail. You really gotta fix this. To update this and make it a bit more clear, air bubbles in the loop can form over time or are there from its build date, and you dont want them getitng stuck in the pump so you need to put the radiator with the tube end UP so that the bubbles will get stuck in the reservoir on the radiator and not get stuck in the pump. Also its a good idea for the tube inlets on the pump to be facing up or to the direction of the front of the case to also make sure air doesnt collect in the pump. Air in the pump can kill the pump so its utmost importance to make sure the tube going into the radiator are always above the level of the pump and the pump is situated correctly so air doesnt get trapped in it

Worried about the lack of mention of thermal paste for that processor with instability issues. Hope that was a video omission and not a build omission.
