This is one of the first water cooled builds I've seen and actually liked. Between the color scheme, the copper pipe and the case specific res you have a very clean looking build with some sexy straight lines.
That's the kind of video I like to see from you, no drama, no crazy dumb stuff, just plain ol computer building with a touch of humor. Please make more of them!
I am quite experienced with plumbing. The "slightly thicker" pipe is type L, it is used for underground residential and commercial. Type K is the ultra thick one for underground water services (line from street/meter pit to house). You can also use copper compression fittings (5/8 in fits 1/2 copper) to avoid bends, and they would match the copper!
"it's called half inch but it actually has a 5/8 inch outer diameter" yeah, it's usually used in plumbing, where the flow rate (and thus inner diameter) is really important.
The funny thing to me is that the computer fittings and joints are probably shit. He needed to solder the joints the computer plumbing isn’t built to the same standards that plumbing for homes is.
There is a benefit to using copper in that you can use ethylene glycol as coolant since it reacts with acrylic. Which you may think is a small in any benefit, until you tried using a water cooling setup for more than 5-6 months and realize that keeping a water loop clean and corrosive free is hard. Your AIO cooler comes with glycol for reason. You could use plexiglass as well to avoid the problems with glycol but copper sure is shiny.
@@bayanzabihiyan7465 true about the other plastic parts but the point about pc's not freezing is not a reason to not use it, ethylene glycol is not just an antifreeze it is also a coolant, it allows better heat transfer and conductivity than water and also inhibits corrosion.
@@stevefox3763 actually water cools better than glycol, that's why in your car you only run it strong enough to stop the freezing, other benefits are anti boil and less corrosion, but its well known in racing that straight water is better for cooling.
I'm in the US but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about this right away. Copper gets stolen out of houses equipment all the time, at least where I'm from.
yeah i meant,if you have a money for expansive toolkit for cooper bend, sure you have a money for that. and also, this hard tube water cooled system is hard to upgrade
I work with copper tubing daily making industrial pressure control valves for water lines. I always thought it was funny how much people thought water cooling with soft tubing was finicky. I did get a chuckle at you guys not polishing before bending, definitely a learning experience there. But the brushed look is GORGEOUS in that build. A reflective polish would not have fit nearly as well. Great call on that. Such a clean, but industrial look to it. I love it.
@@jchap15901 It actually does, Steel (Mostly Iron + Carbon) forms a phase called Martensite upon fast cooling (water quench) which is super hard compared to Pearlite (forms after slow cooling). Steel is then tempered to form "Tempered" Martensite which reduces strength but gives you ductility. Non- Ferrous metals (Al, Cu...) are usually solution treated and then quenched which softens the material, they are then aged (holding at high temperatures) to strengthen depending on the desired outcome.
@@WolfsFriend42 Most water cooling parts are copper and brass only which doesn't result in noticeable galvanic corrosion. But lower ions in the water is always better.
Finally. My day job of being a plumber will come in handy on my next build. That build looks clean AF too. However I would have used sand cloth on the copper. Sandpaper is too much work. Next up, white PVC schedule 80, instead of copper. No bending of PVC will be necessary. Just a bunch of 1/2" 90° turns. With that case, even more A E S T H E T I C with white PVC.
@@jfsjfs57 That would probably be the easiest way. I would never bend hard copper the way Linus done here. Too much work. That's why there is soft copper. :)
Originally Linus was the creator of those lines, but since they make many more videos, they all write them down on a spread sheet or something and they pick from there. It's what Linus said some time ago.
Mysteoa they used to do that but now the writer just writes it into the script that the editor looks at it while editing, Tarzan mentions it in his really long premiere video.
Nah, IIRC it failed because it was pretty much impossible to keep stuff from growing in the loop, and the only issue they had with the copper tubing was leaking initially due to their own poor workmanship.
@@SteelSkin667 That also, but the problem witht he copper tubing was that all the heat was dissipated through the tubes as they left the systems, essentially dumping all that heat back into the room, making the whole system useless.
As a plumber I can safely say that though I was really pleased to see copper in a build you should no there is no need to anneal the pipes or fill them with anything to get a smooth bend if you are using a bender. You only need to do this in situations where you are bending by hand for smaller or large radius bends.
Sadly, if you have OCD with symmetry, hard line is not for you, there will always be something just a little off, a bend just a little obtuse or acute, maybe a tiny little warble in the run.
This is easily my favorite build from you guys yet. Seeing it done made it look not too challenging. Thanks for the tips about sanding. That's 100% a mistake I would make.
I am a licensed journeyman plumber here in the states and i loved watching you figure out all the troubles that come with working with copper! thought of doing something like this myself but im not sure id want the added maintenance. you got me thinking linus, maybe i can make it look like waterpiping in your house with ballvalves and dual check valves, some real solder joints, and a boiler drain on the bottom for easy drainage...
@@csjdruid434 You can just melt zinc over the copper for an outer brass finish. The inside would still be bare copper, but a beautiful gold finish on the outside from the resulting brass alloy. Gucci as hell

Like promoting such propaganda one-liner encouraging to perceive that "since it's German than it's superior"... lmao (also, try to say this to all those clients that got screwed by the Volkswagen scandal). Personally I've worked a build in a be quiet! Dark Base White limited edition. And frankly, although the end result is beautiful and my client very happy, it's one of the worst case I've had ever come up to work with. Bad mounting design, bad screws, bad side-panel design on the cable side (and not enough room), flawed charger on the top (it doesn't work well - if at all - with 3rd party "Wi-Fi" chargers that attach on the phone via some enclosure), etc... No "German über superiority" to be seen there XD !
I'm a plumber.You can get chrome coated copper and bend it with a plumbing bending machine.I do this a lot and it looks great and more professional looking than a bunch of extra connections which could leak
Nah. Chrome and silver are fine, but nickel is what you want, if you want the best looking mirror finish. Nickel over copper looks fantastic. You can even make it jet black, but still retain the mirror finish.
OMG @eonik i thoughtr that was only me who noticed it.....i was gritting my teeth the whole video looking at it....like OMG why would they do this....such a tiny little adjustment of literally a couple of MM.... i actually think they have done this on purpose to make people rage....you just wouldnt leave that like that!
Oh man, me too! It's all I could see the entire time they showed the otherwise beautiful interior of the build. For such a simple solution, it's maddening that they didn't take the time to fix it and make it look so much better.
@@Elmojomo Im sure they did it on purpose, there is no way they wouldnt of noticed it, the cameraman would of seen it, and a whole host of other eyeballs would of seen it for sure 100%. Hey ho, never mind!
you guys absolutely nailed the copper tubing look. Sand paper any higher grit would have made it look a little too shiny I think. Seriously, this is amazing.
I recon some gold plated cables would be great. Also gotta have the sapphire glass on the case with a bit of platinum (or even rose gold) plates for the motherboard shroud would be just nice
Not going to over kill it with a Intel extreme or titan card 1:50 and then maxes out the ram slots 2:15 and uses a 1080 ti guess Linus and I have different definitions for over kill
While we are at it, why not CNC'ed WOOD PIPES and polish that! I suggest Black Walnut as a nice wood that's easily workable, can simply be oiled up to a nice waterproof sheen with mineral oil and then coated with a polyvarathane or polyurethane coat for a stunningly expensive look at a more-than-reasonable price! And for the kicker how bout SOLID ICE --- Deep freeze the entire setup and use a mold to create ICE PIPES that can then contain warm liquid but still cool enough to not overly melt the ice (a laminar flow layer will form between the ice wall and thermal fluid which should be enough to keep the ice from melting!) Some sprays of Liquid Nitrogen every few minutes should also be enough to keep the 'Ice Pipes' solid enough to transport thermal cooling fluid.
@@StarGateSG7 Awe h*ll, why not go all out and do ebony pipes? Wouldn't be all that hard to do though, finishing the inside would suck though. Maybe, shape them as two halves, sand and finish insides, mate and glue together over mandrill wrapped in wax paper, small swipe hone to remove glue residue, then run a rag through to apply final coats of varnish. Sand and polish pipes on outside after mating to create a seamless look. Other woods that could give a different vibe, purple heart, yellow heart, bloodwood, maple burl.
to be fair, as long as you use a radiator and water blocks that are also aluminum, it would be fine. you could easily do that with one of EKWB's cheap kits, those are all aluminum
If any of you trys the sand method. Dont forget to compact the sand. Like give it some light hits with a small block of wood. Cap it off on both sides with some paper stuffed in to help maintain the compacting.
I'm just trying to imagine all the condensation on the copper tubes... At that point you'd have to cover the tubes. A running ln2 loop would be hard to pull off.
Used to be hard too. Now I am 4th year into plumbing and I just watch back this clip and realized I had all the tools to make it looks beautiful. I also know how to calculate the length and radias and how to make measurement inside.
I’m sure it’s been addressed already, but the reason it’s called half inch is because of the inside diameter. Piping is measured from the inner walls, as that’s what’s important to fluid calculations and such. Tubing, however, is measured to the outside diameter ;) thanks for finally getting me into computer building at 33
To add to the confusion, you've got (or had, in the 70s-80s) UK-Imperial plumbing which used the precise interior diameter, but METRIC plumbing uses outer. So 1/2" Cu (12.7mm i.d) is really close to 15mm Cu with 1mm walls (soft-drawn, 13mm i.d.), but metric hard-drawn copper pipe is 0.7 or even 0.5mm wall, giving up to 14mm i.d. (11/20"). So does the US vary outer diameter, which must make picking up the right solder fittings a real pain, or change the inner dia?
Moonshiners fill the tubes with sandblasting sand and it keeps the kinks and deformations to a minimum, also blasts out easy with air. Another option is a tool that is a spring thing that fits inside
So all the ram is guarded behind the tubing so everytime you get ram issues you also need to drain the loop, open the tubes and then fill back up How convenient
you don't need much room to remove ram plus this is now being used by one of the writers and why would he have to remove ram?.? I guess they will disassemble it when they need to
almost like this is a video about something totally impractical but looks really cool, I've never seen LTT do one of those before! :^) you should go watch some other channel if you only care about watching the same practical builds 100x
A few possible items you could use here are - an internal pipe bending spring, like with plastic tubing you have the silicone insert the metal spring does the same at stopping the tube getting squashed. Also to help polishing maybe try wire wool.
Its funny when builders say "im not gonna go crazy" and use pretty much the #1 actual gaming cpu, with the #1 actual gpu "rtx doesnt count cause its too expensive".
@@robertt9342 I mean its a gorgeous build to be sure. But the #1 gpu on steam hardware survey is a gtx 1060. And still 60% of people on steam are still using a quad core cpu. Which means i5 or i7 of previous generations. Its neat watching videos of builds. But they always use top tier stuff.
That would look like every other water cooled PC although it would be quite resistant to microbe growth. Unless you anticipate having to start your computer in below-freezing conditions, ethanol will only hurt cooling system performance because it has less heat capacity than water, but that should only mean it takes less time to hit a stable temperature. It'll still work.
This should come with a warning: watch the *whole* video before attempting this. I can see a lot of people who have followed this step by step, only to hear Linus say, "And another Pro tip..." 😂😂😂
I learned in a 3rd grade science project that lemon juice cleans copper really well...not that from concentrate crap which still works but not as well as fresh squeezed, so the next time you use copper and want to keep nice and shiny...scrub it down with some Lemon pledge...your new sponsor lmao
My last effort was a copper build. Bending is seriously way more effort than it looks. Not even kidding. You have to really want it. Also, copper finish fittings are rare right now, so I had to copper paint some of the special ones. Modern Master copper paint, with acid oxidizer to make the green patina effects. Very nice. And like Linus says at the end... Im never doing that again. Ever.
Fill the copper tubes with a mix of water and lots of soap, put them in a freezer and you can bend them when the water is frozen, they use this method when they make bends for trumpets and other instruments, it should work here too!
This is how they bend tubes for musical instruments
@Furbloke this is what happens when you do not read the whole comment :)
Except instruments are brass not copper.

And frankly, although the end result is beautiful and my client very happy, it's one of the worst case I've had ever come up to work with. Bad mounting design, bad screws, bad side-panel design on the cable side (and not enough room), flawed charger on the top (it doesn't work well - if at all - with 3rd party "Wi-Fi" chargers that attach on the phone via some enclosure), etc... No "German über superiority" to be seen there XD !
@@HawkFest triggered?
@@HawkFest The only one talking about superiority is you. Hindsight right
You should do a chrome silver themed build with chrome tubing, you can't bend it so you gotta use angle connecters for everything it's pretty cool
If money is no option you could bend copper pipe and then get then chrome dipped that would be dope!
Chrome plated copper. 'no ugh said.
That would work, but if it's chromed before bending the chrome will crack during the process. It would look cool though in chromed copper tubing.
I'm a plumber.You can get chrome coated copper and bend it with a plumbing bending machine.I do this a lot and it looks great and more professional looking than a bunch of extra connections which could leak
Nah. Chrome and silver are fine, but nickel is what you want, if you want the best looking mirror finish. Nickel over copper looks fantastic. You can even make it jet black, but still retain the mirror finish.
The mis-matching RGB on the RAM bothers me
BTW the track playing at 9:59 is EPIC by Tokyo Machine, in case you guys wanted to know

OMG @eonik i thoughtr that was only me who noticed it.....i was gritting my teeth the whole video looking at it....like OMG why would they do this....such a tiny little adjustment of literally a couple of MM.... i actually think they have done this on purpose to make people rage....you just wouldnt leave that like that!
Oh man, me too! It's all I could see the entire time they showed the otherwise beautiful interior of the build. For such a simple solution, it's maddening that they didn't take the time to fix it and make it look so much better.
@@Elmojomo Im sure they did it on purpose, there is no way they wouldnt of noticed it, the cameraman would of seen it, and a whole host of other eyeballs would of seen it for sure 100%. Hey ho, never mind!
you guys absolutely nailed the copper tubing look. Sand paper any higher grit would have made it look a little too shiny I think. Seriously, this is amazing.
What's Next? Silver? Gold? Platinum? I would like to see that? Title " Most expensive water cooling in the world"
They would need to make their own custom water blocks to prevent corrosion. Sounds like a cool project!
@@skaltura Good idea though Al-6XN would last forever and maybe look a little better.
I recon some gold plated cables would be great. Also gotta have the sapphire glass on the case with a bit of platinum (or even rose gold) plates for the motherboard shroud would be just nice
uranium
$500 for a graphics card would be great right now
you know what would be sick? (use a rod insert of course) a hammered finish on the copper tubing.
That sounds amazing I might have to give that a try on my own copper build.
Oh yes peppered with dents, i believe it's called banded copper, i always thought it looks shit IMO high shine mirror polish is the best.
I bet Linus has a lot of experience polishing straight pipe. Im gonna have to listen to him on this one!
Least he didn't mention using stainless steel wool for a finish that'd make you happy.
Not going to over kill it with a Intel extreme or titan card 1:50 and then maxes out the ram slots 2:15 and uses a 1080 ti guess Linus and I have different definitions for over kill

@@kiribati1719 isn't a lot...
I agree with what you’re saying however it isn’t overkill for someone who you’ll be doing this
Those anamorphic lens tho! Nice touch!
Next... *Aluminum* tubing.
While we are at it, why not CNC'ed WOOD PIPES and polish that! I suggest Black Walnut as a nice wood that's easily workable, can simply be oiled up to a nice waterproof sheen with mineral oil and then coated with a polyvarathane or polyurethane coat for a stunningly expensive look at a more-than-reasonable price!
And for the kicker how bout SOLID ICE --- Deep freeze the entire setup and use a mold to create ICE PIPES that can then contain warm liquid but still cool enough to not overly melt the ice (a laminar flow layer will form between the ice wall and thermal fluid which should be enough to keep the ice from melting!) Some sprays of Liquid Nitrogen every few minutes should also be enough to keep the 'Ice Pipes' solid enough to transport thermal cooling fluid.
@@StarGateSG7 Awe h*ll, why not go all out and do ebony pipes? Wouldn't be all that hard to do though, finishing the inside would suck though. Maybe, shape them as two halves, sand and finish insides, mate and glue together over mandrill wrapped in wax paper, small swipe hone to remove glue residue, then run a rag through to apply final coats of varnish. Sand and polish pipes on outside after mating to create a seamless look. Other woods that could give a different vibe, purple heart, yellow heart, bloodwood, maple burl.
to be fair, as long as you use a radiator and water blocks that are also aluminum, it would be fine. you could easily do that with one of EKWB's cheap kits, those are all aluminum
Cheese tubing - better keep that water near freezing!
yeah and lets hope they also heat it to bend it :) enjoy
If any of you trys the sand method. Dont forget to compact the sand. Like give it some light hits with a small block of wood. Cap it off on both sides with some paper stuffed in to help maintain the compacting.

The real question is can you do it with liquid nitrogen?
You wouldn't want to use type K for LN2. I think ya might need ACR for that.
I'm just trying to imagine all the condensation on the copper tubes... At that point you'd have to cover the tubes. A running ln2 loop would be hard to pull off.
No. Check out kingpin's roboclocker ;)
th-cam.com/video/ZYLL5f_NBT8/w-d-xo.html
He has insulation over his pipes to stop condensation
How about liquid ammonia with proper chiller? Ha!
Used to be hard too. Now I am 4th year into plumbing and I just watch back this clip and realized I had all the tools to make it looks beautiful. I also know how to calculate the length and radias and how to make measurement inside.
Just like old classic Linus Tech Tips videos!
Who is here after "The ULTIMATE All White Build" video?
Guilty as charged.
It's not even all white tho
Thanks Linus I'll be sure to buy a large diameter bender when I need one.
I love this build, it's so clean and so subtle. Like oh copper, that's sweet.
It's over the top and impressive in a way every rgb gimmicky gadget isnt
20? years later, those pipes will be most expensive part in that pc :D
I’m sure it’s been addressed already, but the reason it’s called half inch is because of the inside diameter. Piping is measured from the inner walls, as that’s what’s important to fluid calculations and such. Tubing, however, is measured to the outside diameter ;) thanks for finally getting me into computer building at 33
To add to the confusion, you've got (or had, in the 70s-80s) UK-Imperial plumbing which used the precise interior diameter, but METRIC plumbing uses outer. So 1/2" Cu (12.7mm i.d) is really close to 15mm Cu with 1mm walls (soft-drawn, 13mm i.d.), but metric hard-drawn copper pipe is 0.7 or even 0.5mm wall, giving up to 14mm i.d. (11/20"). So does the US vary outer diameter, which must make picking up the right solder fittings a real pain, or change the inner dia?
They make special copper sandpaper that works extremely quickly, just a FYI
emery cloth
Moonshiners fill the tubes with sandblasting sand and it keeps the kinks and deformations to a minimum, also blasts out easy with air.
Another option is a tool that is a spring thing that fits inside
9:58 The song is Tokyo Machine - EPIC
thanks but I have shazam too
6:57 yeah I polish my pipe everyday
My mom does it for me
No nut november
IM currently polishing mine
@@BlueKingNL now why would anyone want to do that?
@@bailey2624 idk
So all the ram is guarded behind the tubing so everytime you get ram issues you also need to drain the loop, open the tubes and then fill back up
How convenient
you don't need much room to remove ram plus this is now being used by one of the writers and why would he have to remove ram?.? I guess they will disassemble it when they need to
almost like this is a video about something totally impractical but looks really cool, I've never seen LTT do one of those before! :^)
you should go watch some other channel if you only care about watching the same practical builds 100x
A few possible items you could use here are - an internal pipe bending spring, like with plastic tubing you have the silicone insert the metal spring does the same at stopping the tube getting squashed. Also to help polishing maybe try wire wool.
Finally a no RGB build!
Next up... RGB copper tubing.

That wouldnt have been funny 3 years ago and its just incredibly lame today.
lullllzzzzz
Its funny when builders say "im not gonna go crazy" and use pretty much the #1 actual gaming cpu, with the #1 actual gpu "rtx doesnt count cause its too expensive".
He only soscificied that he wouldn't use an extreme edition.
And think of all the CPUs and the couple of GPUs he could have used. Even your comment showed the restraint.
@@robertt9342 I mean its a gorgeous build to be sure. But the #1 gpu on steam hardware survey is a gtx 1060. And still 60% of people on steam are still using a quad core cpu. Which means i5 or i7 of previous generations. Its neat watching videos of builds. But they always use top tier stuff.
How about glass moulded pipes?
Why? Just use acrylic.
Cause glass is harder than acrylic and linus loves hard things if you know what i mean.. @@theosls3820
@@theosls3820 Because glass looks better on all accounts.
The process for glass is almost identical to acrylic hard tube, except for using a map gas torch instead of a heat gun.

Make a vodka cooled PC!!
Already done by boris
Or maybe some nice whiskey.
and why has no one made a kool aid cooled pc?
@Mykel Hardin because vodka contains alcohol and it takes heat from the things around it
That would look like every other water cooled PC although it would be quite resistant to microbe growth. Unless you anticipate having to start your computer in below-freezing conditions, ethanol will only hurt cooling system performance because it has less heat capacity than water, but that should only mean it takes less time to hit a stable temperature. It'll still work.
linus has done copper tubing before his scrapyard was 2 build

I learned in a 3rd grade science project that lemon juice cleans copper really well...not that from concentrate crap which still works but not as well as fresh squeezed, so the next time you use copper and want to keep nice and shiny...scrub it down with some Lemon pledge...your new sponsor lmao
My last effort was a copper build. Bending is seriously way more effort than it looks. Not even kidding. You have to really want it. Also, copper finish fittings are rare right now, so I had to copper paint some of the special ones. Modern Master copper paint, with acid oxidizer to make the green patina effects. Very nice. And like Linus says at the end... Im never doing that again. Ever.
