*NOTE: Minor error on the B-Roll video at **6:35** demonstrating AIO front mount position: fans should be flipped around for a pull orientation.*
Do you still fear the radiator? What are your thoughts on AIO cooling? Do you do things differently?

[gilruiz]

One tip I could offer, if and when you decide to swap your air cooler for an AIO cooler. Run your pc before disassembling the air cooler to make the old thermal paste unstick from the cooler. I didn't do that and it was a nightmare getting my cooler off my CPU it was essentially fused and I risked damaging my CPU and the socket.

[benhauber]

Bro, you have been a life saver. I built my last pc ten years ago, and I've fallen so far behind. You have provided a wealth of knowledge plainly presented to get me back up to speed. I can't thank you enough.

[hitekdialect]

I have watched a gillion of these AIO videos and this is THE ONLY one that was concise, clear and straightforward enough for me to actually fear these things LESS for my next build. Thank you SO MUCH for making it.

[DiscreetLuka]

Woah, I remember you when you were at 1k subs literally a year ago. Now you’re almost at 100k! Keep it up man you’re helping a lot of people👏

[savage]

I have the Arctic 360 AIO non RGB and that thing is a BEAST! Comes with a 10 year warranty too so it was a no brainer. Great video brother.

[SiCSpiT]

One thing Jason somewhat mentioned but could easily be over looked; It's very important for your pump to run at or near 100% speed. A mistake I made when I first got an AIO was match my pump speed to my fan curves which started at 20% and ramped up to 100% at 80C. Pumps can miss behave or not function if they are set at or below 30-40%. Even though the pump would reach 100% voltage at 80C since it got too little voltage at boot it wouldn't reach full speed causing the CPU to run an extra 10C hotter under load. Pumps work best the faster they can pull heat away from the cold plate!

[zacky]

Exactly. That at 6:35 is the best solution with the hoses at the bottom, to avoid cavitation and air bubbles, and the fans pulling air, instead pushing it (like is showing in the video). That's how I installed my 240 system three years ago and still working great. Excellent video.

[CrklynDdger]

I have the EK AIO in the Lian Li 011 and I have 6 fans to go in but I was on the fence about the configuration.
I didn't want a whole heap of heat going through the radiator but you've helped me decide how I want to set things up in the case, thanks Jason.
I thought you'd be at 100k subscribers by now but not much more before that milestone.
You've had a hell of a year of growth congrats.

[Aexeq]

Just a little add on: For a case where bottom mounting the radiator is required, typically the beQuiet Pure Loop is the best and only real option. For absolute best performance, pair the EK or Arctic AiOs with either the Noctua NFA-12x25 or the Phanteks P30 fans.

[TheDaNuker]

This is a very good beginner's summary in a quick and concise video. Kudos.

My main issues with AIOs is the lifespan as you mentioned. With so more mechanical components, there's much possibilities of failure than a simple fan failure in an air cooler. Even if the pump and fans all last to their rated capacity and beyond, the issue of eventual evaporation of coolant sets an eventual limit. (The Bequiet Silent Loop does allow refill though its cooling performance is average at best in exchange for low noise). I have encountered way more AIOs fail or simply reached EOL than a simple heat sink fan which often outlast even the socket the CPU is mounted on.

Also lastly, this a pet peeve of mine but a lot of cases can't mount top of the line 280/360 AIOs on the roof with clearance for motherboards due to VRM heatsink being too big or RAM size. I kinda wish there is more standardization on this on the amount of free case height above the motherboard.

Back in my time, we buy water pumps from aquarium shop, use bike radiators and tupperware as reservoir LOL. Water block was hand machined from a block of copper and epoxied together.
If you want RGB, you buy cold cathode lights from auto shop and light controller from hobby shops. Ah good times! Coming up with new ideas, sourcing for materials and ghetto engineering was such an adventure! I still have trauma from when a leakage destroyed my AMD Thunderbird.. 20 years sure flew by!

[justinjoseph]

How did you n]know that I was looking this up? The timing of this dropping was impeccable! Thanks for all the info

[XxXRaZeRxXx]

Thank you for simplifying so much in your videos and making it so easy to understand and giving us viewers so much explanation, it's making it fun to learn and understand about pcs and components/parts and how things work. Keep up the great vids will continue to support you!

[buddybuythis]

Still coming back to this video whenever I need a refresher on water cooling choice or install.

[sleepydragonzarinthal]

if you do have a top mesh filter, you can always just cut it away around the AIO, leaving the mesh over the open areas, to keep dust etc from falling in. Sometimes the gaps around rads are big enough that the rad fans don't push all of it away, especially at lower fan speeds

[bags]

I used to be afraid of aio coolers but after doing some research I realized they are pretty awesome especially if you get a good one. I have a Corsair H150i elite capellix and I love it. My opinion is liquid coolers are the way to go. Great video man.

[xyoojj]

Oh man, I gotta get me one of those flexible screwdriver. It would of came in handy on my last build.

[ragnarwartooth]

I bought a corsair h150i elite cappelix for my 11900k, keeping it cool between 40 and 45°C while gaming, very happy with it.

[harolddasynth]

I have been building pc for the last 15yrs and never tried the AIO for the fear of leaks and sort of failing pump etc, i never had a single air cooler fail on me over the course of the year, as the saying goes, if ain't broke, don't fix it but i am tempting to build a system with AIO for the first time this year...thanks for sharing this Jason, it helps a lot..
