![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 25 วันนี้!! "อเล็กซิส vs รีเกียน"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/suVr9a6BM2g/mqdefault.jpg)
I get that this hasn't been the easiest build for you - and I feel the frustration of things not going to plan.
But from the perspective of a viewer, I super dont mind that these builds are multi-video, and often take long! Though we clown on you for taking ages, it actually is super exciting to see the process.
I wholeheartedly agree with the comment, there is no where near enough videos on this platform showing the challenges and workaround of various issues that come up when building PCs
True
Yup.
Agree, this just shows the struggles of building a warercooled pc and having to wait for new parts because they don't fit, match or have gotten here yet
Agreed
Oh my god, Phil's editing is straight up porn for us nerds, love it. The build and bends are incredible, the only thing I probably would do is a cutout in the PSU shroud to have the PCI cables go straight down instead of down and to the right to be able to go into the back. Incredible build as always Jason, really hope this build will actually be used and seen in many videos to come.
He is without a doubt one of the best cameramen/editors on the platform. His montages are next level.
@Stephan damn right, i'll simp for phil anyday. :P
I like how he called it "The B-Roll" like it wasn't one of the best parts of the video!
Is it nick recording for the b roll or only some shots? That was his voice at the very end I believe lol
"Let's let Phil to that thing that Phil does"
Giggling?
Digressing. 😎
He does good job
This video is sooo well done Phil man your on point! Well done!
Giggling while doing some amazing camera work. He can multitask that.
@@Shojikitsune1 technically, phil does the undigressions.
The camera work and editing on this video was on another level, that build montage was incredible, great work team
True, beautifully done. Even the RAM led’s are synced with the music 🙌🏽
9:16 - that looked freaking incredible! Great job, Phil!
The Mountain Dew/Monster Energy build we’ve all been waiting for.
Now is the perfect time to get a sponsorship with them
I'm getting more of an OG Xbox vibe myself :)
Mountain Dew is apparently partnering with Boston Beer to create a Alcoholic Mountain Dew Beverage.
@@Katopup87 Eww
Hmm... Now we just need a MTN Dew or Diet MTN Dew(I prefer diet dew) logo etched on the side panel, of course, with my setup, I'm going to eventually get it looking like "the matrix" themed
I'm never sure who is more of an artist. Jay water cooling or Phil montages.
both rise together
C) all of the above
The montage was good though in this video
Honestly I don't understand montages I just want to watch a video not some fancy camera angles
They compliment each other.
Honestly, I've enjoyed having multiple videos to see how this project has come together. Sometimes a single video can end up feeling rushed through. Also, loving the choice of green for the build!
Just as a quick aside, if the Jayz team is ever interested in right angles for cables, Moddiy sells 90 degree Pci-e adapters. I'm currently rocking them in my build, so far power delivery is stable *knock on wood*, and it really helps clean up the cable management!
that b-roll segment is one of, if not the best, executions of lighting, camera work, and editing I've ever seen on a techtube vid. you guys are killing it! After watching it a few times I'd love a break down from the crew to learn how they filmed and edited this, it's exceptional. thank you all so much for continuing to bring us great nerd content in these trying times when most of us can only live vicariously through the techtube lords!
Daaaaaamn that crazy editing and take at 9:17 phil killed it. Amazing montage and incredible build. Love to see it
I loved that part as well
This just shows how awesome the caselabs case was and how well it was designed. Having more room in a case that utilizes the space well can't really be found in many newer designs.
True. But it’s not like cases like this can’t be made. Truth is big cases don’t sell well
@@emsj86 I think that's the main thing to point out. Not many ppl want to lug around a big case even though once you set it there's not much moving around afterwards. I'm included in those who don't care to have a huge case lol.
ITX and mini ATX only... it just comes down to how much you're willing to sacrifice for a smaller footprint.
Can PC building be considered art? After looking at this? Yes. Incredible job with Skunkworks Jay.
Hehe figurines in unmodified PC go brrrrrrr
The Terry Cruise build would like a word.
While i believe i can recreate Jay's build, Phill's editting is just pure art!!
@@akimezra7178 Art can almost always be recreated. That's not what defines art.
@@hunzhurte yes, but its always a tribute to the original.
I'd love to see the back side of the MB, just to see the cable management. Really thinking about doing mines...
Yeh, I just finished my second build and it didn't look great, ordered in a light up fan redid the cable management and rearranged the cooling and it looks a lot better. Builds sometimes don't go to plan, but its always really nice when you finally have something nice put together. Glad it turned out well in the end (and, imo, it does actually really really good).
I enjoyed the series, watching you talk about all the things that you need to take into consideration was really helpful for me, as I have been working on planning a hardline build myself. The one thing I wish you had done was show the back side of Skunkworks as well.
This is my favorite series, I'm so happy you were able to complete Skunkworks without loosing your sanity!
I hate it when my sanity gets loose.
Losing it would have been even worse!
You should frost the reservoir/get a frosted reservoir to match the tubing runs. Would look so much cleaner and consistent.
yea you can buy it in spray can form. Works well and would be well worth it. The more layers you do the more intense the effect. Also could do some clever masking to make patterns or make the "frost" look like its creeping towards the middle from both ends.
agree
He was talking in his first or second video on this about wishing it was also frosted, but he's just using what he has.
@@joshuaanderson3443 he can also just use fine sandpaper which im sure he has and sand the outside and spray a matte clear coat over it. Theres plenty of ways he could it. Surprised hebdidnt lol
@@joshuaanderson3443 Ooh
Skunkworks is never complete, it’s what makes it skunkworks.
The Ship of Skunkseus
rumor mill, 17 minutes after posting this video, Jay received an email saying the next gen threadripper was coming out... :p love the build videos, only question is, how well does it handle you blowing up all the ships? >:D
@@MrOboehobo I request elaboration.
Yeah it's Skunkworks, not Skunkworked.
SkonkTwoCents (Since Lockheed Skunkworks was supposed to be Skonk Works)
Loved this series Jay, I don’t feel it dragged on at all. It’s fun seeing the actual process of the build itself and all the design dilemmas.
And as always insane job Phil with the B-roll. Fantastic job.
You never cease to amaze, inspire, and impress.
I'm grateful that this was a multi part series.
The end result, holy!!! 🐄
Thank you for bringing us along guys.😊
Since you moved the drain you could have vertically mounted the card on the cases built in vertical PCI slots...
i like the extended build montage. it showed more of what tools were used in the build and was very informative. It was also interesting to watch.
Shameless plug: I make long drawn out PC build videos :)
I think you could put those cinematic videos out separately as well since they are a literal treat to look at and I don't think people would complain at all.
Looks awesome! Like you said the tubing looks like the tracks on a circuit board. Well done man, like your attention to detail.
Beautiful system, love this green over the original skunkworks green. I enjoyed watching each of the videos of the system build. More Please...
Such a nice job on the edit phil! really enjoyed the b roll of the pc. New skunkworks looks amazing, thanks for another build to watch!
Thanks for doing this series, man. I love, and missed this kind of content from you. Awesome build, and awesome work.
9:17 What a transition! 😍🔥
Love from Jordan! ❤
Yeah seriously. Philly boy Killen it.
i see you are a man of culture as well!
Love from your Palestinian neighbor ❤
Awesome build and awesome slowmo-montage, really liked the click in the music sync *perfectly* with the first tube cut in the start 👌
9:16 had to watch that effect 5 times.. I love it
I love the black/green colour scheme... it looks really amazing !
Thanks for the series of the build... it was a fantastic watch :)
Looks sweet, only thing I would say is a mini lcd for stats. I know you've got the little tiny one in there, but a bigger one
all decked out in green traces and stuffs, would have been pretty sweet.
I came here to say the same thing. Seconded.
A "frosted glass" sticker on the reservoir would look cool.
Or even frosted and logo in the negative!
Why not "Skunk Works" with the words staggered
More multi video project, gives us something to look forward 2, the results were amazing btw :D
This build looks sick. Usually green appears to loud, but it looks so good here, especially with the frosted glass👌👌👌
FYI: pmma IS acrylic. It’s the acronym for the chemical that we call acrylic. So yea.
Totally correct and also better known under one of its trade names: Plexiglass
Incredible work on the PC. And major props to Phil and all of his editing and filming efforts.
Came out looking fantastic Jay! I love that smoked tubing. The green makes it look like a reactor core of some sort, Skunkworks indeed!
Well done! :)
This turned out great.
I am doing a similar-ish build, but using the 60mm thick radiators, black everything, no RGB, and soft tubing. All EKWB for everything. Its an "all go, no show" build.
The biggest thing that I am doing different is I have my pump/res very low, mounted to a custom plexi piece to the side fan bracket, between the power supply shroud and the front rad, and rotated 90 degrees so the tubes won't interfere with anything. Even with the 60mm radiator, I still have 350mm of space for the GPU.
Every time I hear the words I keep expecting a Promo segway for Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® to show, I have no idea why.
That outta the way the TH-cam community is quite blessed to have these down to earth gents such as Jay, Steve and the likes. To have that voice when million 💰 companies that think they can pi$$ in our pockets and call it roses. Another superb video Jay awesome as always & I hope things are going well for u.
One of the best build series I have seen from you in years. I love how this came out. Wish it was mine lol. So glad you decided to redo skunkworks I missed seeing those build videos all the time, I hope when new parts come out you upgrade and keep it going like you used to do with the skunkworks of the past. Keep up the good work!
Now that builds are back in the mix, looking forward to a more complicated custom build with some crazy Jay mods.
"filled the space nicely"
That is absolutely what she said.
You wish… ;p
@@herby4911 Or rather what she wished :-)
“Not having enough tubing” also what she absolutely said (to her friend afterwards) 😜
HARD to believe this isn't prone to leaks
when i saw the smile on your face after the pc is done make me thinking about myself when my pc is done and i love working on pcs specialy putting hardware toguether as a plumber so much fun doing that
The Stunkworks 2021 looks so so good, I have been build pcs now for 20yrs and still have never done a water cooling build,,, Maybe one day,,, Love the look Stunkworks rules.
Jay, you take all the time you want with these kinds of builds - I’m here for every part, every time, always! I could watch you make dumb jokes and just enjoying the process all day long!
19:08 - "Although it is not the latest Zen2 architecture from AMD..." I was so ready for a "it is not much but it is mine" segway 🤣
Holy shit that is a gorgeous rig. Well done Jay and incredible editing by Phil. I loved this series because it makes me feel better about my own build’s small mistakes!
I use automotive grade water wetter for track cars. it is slightly purple, but goes clear with water. I have never had an issue with many different builds. I used some pearl color one time and it really messed up everything. great build Jay. benchmark for the win.
I just did my first hard tubing build, watching your vids gave me enough confidence to try it and I must say I did well! Nowhere near perfect, but it's unique and I love it!
This Skunk Works is another awesome PC, I don't mind you taking a long time filming the build.
Such a damned pretty build. It's like a CES showpiece. Phil's montage kicked ass as always too
phil's montages are amazing...always get the right music
you should learn to build your own cables, i think that you would actually like how they turn out in the end! i recently taught myself how to make cables and it wasn't as difficult as i thought that it would be. they also have everything that you need at ppcs for cables and tools. i actually like paracord for the sleeving because of how easy it is to work with and the range of different colors you can go through.
It is a good skill to have. I can also say from experience making custom sleeved cables for my build, that it is also the most tedious, time consuming and at times frustrating part of a fully custom build. I can't fault anyone for outsourcing their custom cables.
...that all being said I would love to see a video of Jay making custom cables... It would make for some great content!
I like how he was still walking backwards and the cameras follows him and his reaction is hilarious 😂
I really like how the tubes came out, nice amount of bends in the right places.
Fantastic Jay. What a beautiful Rig you've created. 😎
Take your time kid, this old man loves learning and laughing. Tell Phil his laugh is epic. Love you guys
Been following skunkworks for several iterations and this is my favorite so far. You obviously like dark cases but I’d like to see a white or silver version of skunkworks?
White and purple 💜
I love those passthroughs every time. To the point I am still actively searching for a flush mount passthrough for my desk to mount a gx connector for my keyboard.
Looks absolutely fantastic, really can't say what else needs to be done to the build. Its pretty much bang on. As you've got UV reactive fluid in there might be worth adding 1 (yes just 1!) UV led near the front of the case and the resevior to give the corners of the tubing and the res a tiny bit of light shading/pop, but thats only a suggestion to play with. Really doesn't need it though. Nothing else needs done. It's bangin'!
Love that bend coming down from the top rad and in to the right port of them CPU block.
Finally getting my graphics card at msrp you guys this is a all time high for me
Congrats man, hope you enjoy it.
Happy for you man!
@@winston737 ty so much i just got in and installed it and it just looks beautiful
@@actualmanchild4714 enjoy the gaming and working experience man 😄
@@winston737 tysm!
Some of the closeups feel like being in a Borg ship. It's awesome looking.
When you were drilling the PSU shroud it made me wonder: is there a way to recover if you drill the hole too big?
measure twice, drill once
My thoughts exactly. Maybe he should call the system "Locutus".
@@liviubita4238 Wow, that's a dope idea. If I ever do a green build I'm stealing it!
*"I need this for studying"*
I think that's the best looking iteration of skunkworks yet. I wish the 4000D was on the market when I was looking for a case. Someone finally made a really great case for airflow that doesn't sacrifice in aesthetics IMO
I would add a breathing uv strip on there so it pulses like it's theater style radioactive looking ☢️. Absolutely love the build.
Great build Jay, it looks fantastic. . . . but I have to say, why didn't you use the vertical graphics card mount closest to the side panel (the one that would take a double slot card), I'm sure that would have cleared the pump and would have actually given you more space between the graphics card and pump as it mounts the card closer to the rear of the case. I thought because you're only going single card this time (first time ever) it'd be the ideal time to do a vertical graphics card mount. . . .
nice! actually that mad scientist lair look it has it's quite interesting.
if you add a facehugger in the reservoirs would fit the look of an Aliens themed PC lol
congratulations
The resurrection of a god. Love to see Skunkworks back.
Its not the same without SLI thought. I understand why, but having that bridge in there with multiple GPU's makes it something special. *pours one out for the death of SLI.*
Jeez Jay, this build is so cool! I love how the power cables wrap around the tube that goes straight up from the 'basement'
In a video that is about a ginormously overkill custom watercooled pc, the thing I want to appreciate is Phil's video editing. Its on next level now.
12:30 FYI Jay PMMA is the same thing as Acryllic, it stands for Poly Methyl Methacrylate. So it should be the same as any other acrylic, barring any special blend Corsair might be using. Not sure why they don't just call it acrylic, but I'd bet it's for marketing to confuse people lol.
Fantastic video series! Love seeing the progress bit by bit :)
Wow build looks sweet and Phil absolutely killed it on this montage.
Jay, amazing build! Looks astounding without being overbearing.
On another note, amazing editing effects and camera work from your camera/editors, really shows off it's beauty
After all your frustrations and work arounds, you have a damn fine looking end product! I'm not a fan of that green, but you've made me see it in a whole new light! Just WOW!
I had a similar rebuild project with my old rig - In november I replaced my trusty (32GB FX8350, GTX1070) old rig with a monster new rig, and the old one just sat gathering dust.
Bought a new case for it, a new cooler, reformatted, transferred it over, I've given the old girl a second lease of life and she looks great.
The shininess took a hit a few days ago when after 5 years of faithful service, the 1070 finally died :-(.
This was a great series. I miss when we got to see this much detail, always good to learn from someone who's been doing this for years. Great nostalgia vids. Only thing I would change: more gray cables, fewer green cables, very slight change. Awesome build!
The pc is siiiick! Absolutely gorgeous! I would you have added a UV light source just so the liquid would glooow
that UV green with the frosted tubes ... perfection!!!
I think this is one of the best looking builds you have done, long live skunkworks.
JayzTwoCents has by far the best build montages of all the top tech TH-cam channels I watch. Shoutout to Phil!
I for one really like the multi-part build videos. More please. Especially if you do the case modding such as painting and what not.
So this is the number one type of content I like to see from you! Great build all round, came out fantastic!
I think I might flip the front rad so that the inlet/outlet aren't at the high point of the loop. I'd also reconfigure the order so that instead of the flow from the reservoir going GPU -> CPU -> RAD -> RAD it would go to the GPU -> Top rad -> CPU -> Front Rad. I might have also stuck a hard valve in the bottom section with a cap so that I could easily connect a hose and drain the system from the low point.
I doubt that any of those tweaks would be in any way consequential - this a really beautiful build. Great work!!
Oh boy, frosted tubes and that green fluid - 🤤. Looks awesome
I'm loving that rig, it's beautiful! Black and green is my absolute favorite color combination, I would love to have a system that looks like that one day.
Frosted Tubes, they look soooo good. It would be very cool if the res were also frosted...that would be even cooler. But it is such a nice build.
love the build , what i would add is a painted acrylic back plate in black and open logo JTZ and a skunkworks logo rgblight ( green ) backlight in it . like they make gpu rgb backplates
but in front where the window is for the psu to cover up
Build came together awesome, I liked the long series its very true to the reality of building custom stuff. Things never work out without some trial and error.
Congratulations bro!
It really looks amazing 🤩
I’m looking forward to future projects
I live for Phil montages...
And I appreciate seeing all the things that don't work according to plan. For these things to happen to a god-tier builder like yourself, makes me feel a little better about not accounting for my gfx card length fitting in my case lol.
That’s a nice look, I’m really impressed with the frosted tube/neon green liquid. Turned out really nice, maybe a bit too bright with all the lian li fan lights going, but classy af all the way through. Congrats on the beautiful pc!
Wow, these cables look sooo damn good! I wish my PSU could be modular so I would be able to put them in my system.
Btw more videos are always good, now we can see the exact process of building a water-cooled pc without any sugarcoating.
Usually not a fan of this color of green (I’m also colorblind like you but with a few different colors) but this build is S I C K. I think it turned out great and is not only functional but looks visually impressive
I love watching these builds, even though I'm never going to do one like this myself because I simply lack the patience needed to get those bends done perfectly, I allready spend way too much time on cablemanagement because I like my builds to look as clean as possible and thats way easier with air cooled systems.
never Stop tinkering with skunkworks It is always cool to watch you come with ideas for that machine !!
I like the horizontal card more anyways, the way the opaque white part of the card almost wraps around the reservoir is perfect.
Bench it and share the performance, especially how cool it stays under extended loads. Maybe even tie it in with the keeping your room cool video to show how much that thing makes it toasty under load.
That is such a good looking computer, and also Phil did an excellent job at doing what Phil does, out of this world filming and editing
Damn Phil you really stepped it up again huh? Just crazy good editing...and a very nice build!
Love the timeline of this. Not too spread out.
Any chance we can start seeing some more exotic builds? Not the specs but the aesthetics. I miss the dremel and spray can etc
