Jay what if you used car Tail Light tint to paint the tubes? So they’re “black” but also still see through if light shines through them for an Rgb theme? Like the sprayable vht nightshades stuff lol
Yes that exactly what i was thinking too. Would be perfect for this. That way the tube is blacked out but you can still see through. That would look way better then just regular flat black paint.
+1 million to this! My wife did the same thing some years back (down by 250+ pounds, go baby!). It's hard to appreciate the effort involved until you've seen someone do it first hand.
For other people who is looking to lose weight or just feel more healthy. Then I can't recommend *Intermittent fasting* more. Even people who doesn't think they need to lose, will lose some weight. Because this fasting will help you remove fats inside your body that is not visible on the outside, but should not be there. It will make the body work better overall, so it's for everyone. I thought I would just mention it, if someone is having difficulties losing weight.
If you go carbon fiber tubes, get the automotive carbon wrap for the res. You can cut logos if you want before you wrap it, and its easy to change if you decide to go to black tubes.
I'm really enjoying this style of building. The montages are cool and everything but there is something nice about watching the trial and error and thought processes you have while building a rig. It's nice to see how you overcome some obstacles during the build process. Like how you cut the notch for the wires to run towards the socket instead of out the back end of the GPU. That's a really cool idea that I'm sure one of us viewers may use in the future! Also the banter between you two is hilarious! You guys never cease to bring a smile to my face! Even if I'm having a rough day! Thanks for the great content guys! Keep it up! I cant wait to see the Dark Knight rise! 🤘😁🤘
Hey Jay, you can use polarizing film (like the one you would use to tint your windows) to cover the reservoir. So depending on the tint you choose you could still see how full the reservoir is and you don't have to disassemble the whole reservoir.
I really like the idea of painting the res and masking off a single vertical line to see the fill. Imo, applying this same idea to painted tubing would look AMAZING. Acrylic tubing painted engine black with a single crisp line masked off along the entire length of each tube...or maybe just a couple of select tubes for a visual bang. I know you’ve said that you are leaning toward distilled water, but the above mentioned painted tubing and res would likely be visually stunning if filled with yellow fluid.
Spot on - a strip across the 'top' (when the mobo is laid out flat on a desk) of all the tubing would allow for easy visibility of bubbles, and then when it is in the case and vertically aligned, those strips become view bars, in which yellow fluid (or even other colors, like that of ethylene glycol) would look great in. Leaving a corresponding strip unpainted on the polar opposite side of every piece of tubing would allow for some fantastic lighting looks as well.

Thanks Jay, i'm planning my first build ever. Starting this winter and this kind of info helps a lot. After your last video my wife gave me an ifixit kit as a present to help me with the build. I've learnt today that even small changes can improve the overall look. So again thanks from a loyal fan. P.s. just paint the pipes and reservoir to make something unique
Quicktip, it's never just 1,2,3. I've been putting my pc together by months and all I gotta say is, even when you full proof your build, there's at least 1 problem you overlooked
Order black tubes, paint the reservoir with a clear Pinstripe on both sides to allow light in for level detection. Only one clear stripe may be insufficient
Coming soon: Dark Knight Log Part 7 - Still quicker than the Post Malone build, but now I've got Steve and Linus and Kyle (and even Lyle) making videos picking on me, but I digress....
this isn't as much of an AMD build as much as its a Corsair build lol, You said your changing the RAM to Corsair ram, you have full Corsair custom water cooling, more corsair rib fans, a corsair power supply, like jeez, corsair just stole AMD's build
Cool build so far. Regarding the color scheme, you still have some white highlights with the fans on either side. So you might want to think about adding a white sleeve to your custom black cables as another highlight. This way you could also keep the ram installed and just leave the rbg on white. Kind of an inverted Strom trooper look.
On the tank, I would get the carbon fiber tubing and then get a vinal carbon fiber wrap to just stickon the tank and then you could have look uniformed next to the tubing. I know a supplier for the wrap if that is something you would be interested in. It will look good and will not shrink from the heat.
Use yellow fluid, paint the reservoir black but but mask out a line up the middle then RGB the fluid so that you see the yellow. Then match the RGB across the system. you could even pain one or two pieces of tube and mask a line to show the fluid.
What I like about the 5700xt is that there must be half the screws and no glue to take off to get the card out for a water block install... I've got a similar 'budget' build with black Gskill Flare X...
Corsair and this channel. Both EPIC creators. I LOVE Corsair products. This build is going to look real sick. Go for the black tank and the pipes also. Streak the pipe just like the tank. Custom and unique. Cant wait for Pt3
the build looks sick. I do think i prefer the vertical GPU mount with the chrome showing and the little chrome accents on the motherboard. But horizontal looks good too. Carbon fiber tubing might looks pretty dope too.
Jay, because you don't like water dyes you need to run copper tubing go back and get some. You can paint the copper (textured paint?) black or go for a brushed copper on black/grey.
"I'm not using the functionality of RGB... I might even turn most of it off... But that's the beauty on RGB." Hahaha so the beauty of RGB is you can turn it off. Got it. Fully agree LOL
I just downloaded the manual for the MEG X570 Godlike and glanced through it because I felt something was amiss when you said that the second slot is also X16. I strongly suggest you consider using the first slot for the GPU anyway. The second and fourth slot are only x4 and the third slot is only x8. Only the first slot is true x16. MSI probably used x16 connectors on all four because it looks neat and gives the impression of power. But yeah, even the manual suggests using the GPU in slot 1 for best results.

The best video to watch for a 1st time builder. This is what Jay does best and helped me 10 years ago when I first learned to make computers leak water.
Jay, have you ever tried the black wiring loom? The stuff automotive applications? It comes from very tiny up to 1" inner diameter. It may be a way to cheaply hide some mustard and ketchup wiring to sliding over cooling tubes, etc.
Why not use a black or carbon fiber vinyl on the reservoir? Easily removable "permanent" option. Or use vht nightshades turn signal/brake light tint spray if you want a translucent blacked out look. Ive used both for various applications on my cars, motorcycles, laptops and consoles.
Why not use a very dark automotive window tint for the reservoir. Nondistructive, not permanent if you need to reuse it, in a blacked out case it will look jet black and you shine a bright light through it if you need to see inside.
Jay...hear me out... vertical mount the GPU and get a printed black sticker big enough to cover the nickle plating, but cut out the Dark Knight logo and turn on the RGB or set it to white. would look friggin cool af
You mentioned that you may use tape to create a thin line on the reservoir so you can see how much fluid is in it if you paint it black. Maybe you you could do the same with the tubing?
When you paint the tubes black, place dark knight emblem stickers on the front tubes then peel them off after the paint dries so you can see the flow of the fluid as with the reservoir you're painting.....Just a thought.......Also Yellow fluid would really be awesome IMHO......
No just do what someone else on here said and just use the transparent black paint that is used too black out tail lights. Would be perfect for this. That way you still see through the tubes and light can go through too.
I think it'd look the best with carbon fiber tubing and get some carbon fiber vinyl wrap to put around the reservoir and leave a small gap between the sheet so you can see the coolant level. Put a clear coat over it if you wanna.
Leave the tube and res clear and use black fluid that’s uv reactant. That would take care of your black on black and be much easier. Will allow you to change the look later as well.
I am sure this will be bad *** without copper tubing but would be nice to see. I almost went copper on my recent first cpu custom loop build . I decided on 5/8 OD ridged stainless tubing turn out great can’t post pick here. Hope to do a copper build soon !
Hey Jay, shop idea! Soft vice jaw inserts meant for holding firearms barrels might be super nice for holding hard lines while cutting. Or maybe those "Earls" brand jaw inserts for automotive AN fittings that hold hose? Could probably use spray adhesive and put some felt on them. Just a thought, have a good day!
Jay, I am saving for a $650 gaming computer with an RX 570 and I’m basing all my builds and ideas off of your videos! I love your videos so much and would do anything to meet you in person. If I were to have an opportunity for Make a Wish, you would 100% be my choice.
Recently i was doing Corsair Hydro all watercooled build. The CPU block, radiators and reservoir were really easy to install even for watercooling rookies.However i come to the problem with GPU. I have ROG Strix RTX 2080Ti GPU and unfortunatelly Corsair had only reference GPU waterblocks at stock at that moment. So i went with EK Vector waterblock and man, that was a really hard work. No thermal pads preapplied or even cutted in height and width. After 1 hour of measuring and cutting i finally mounted the waterblock. I was phew finally, now just screw in the backplate. I opened the package and saw another bunch of thermalpads for backplate. However all of it was worth it, but i think, i will never go over this process again, at least in recent years.
various textured black carbon fiber look vinyl wrap is dirt cheap, you could cover the nickel portions of the gpu and cpu blocks with a contrasting finish(matte/textured or matte/shiny) CF logo/whatever and then use the same wrap on the psu shroud and other areas to bring it all together in a blacked out way.
I would clear coat all metal painted parts with enamal op grease from fingers and touching won't remove the lacqure.. and can get matt or gloss finishes, but depends onm how far you wnna go.
Jay you could go to an auto parts store and get some of that carbon fiber wrap sticker material and do a 95% wrap on the reservoir allowing the vertical viewing of the level. Doing this you wouldn't have to mask anything to paint it and also if you didn't like the look you could always just peal it off. Just a thought.
You should mask off parts of the acrylic tubing when you spray paint them, leaving very small thin and very angular lines on the tubes where the coolant will show through and then you can choose a color to accent the build that can also go with your RBG color choice. Just an idea but I think it would look cool, dark knight just makes me think of his tank and how angular it was, plus that was a bad ass tank.
G'day Jay, I'd like to see how painting the Clear Tubing goes, also painting the Res with a thin View Gauge will be interesting & different, you mentioned changing the RAM but the ones you have match your fans & with mild lighting might work well
I can’t wait for the third part to this build and to see it finished. After it is done can you put the complete part list of everything in it because I would love to build this exact tower for my first build.
Jay ... copper stretches really, really easy. Just need to get a pipe expander of the right size (er ... anyone mention Harbor Freight??) and expand it out about a millimeter and you'd have been golden with the copper. Polished copper with some clear coat would have looked AWESOME inside the blacked out case.
Hey Jay, What about clear tubing and Res, but going with Black Water? Then you could even vertical mount the GPU as a lot of the chrome would be blacked out, and no need to paint Tubes and Res because they will all look Black.
if you paint the tubes you could do a lowrider paint trick and use some kind of fabric wrapped around it and paint through it to leave a texture or lace pattern on the tubes. i've never seen anyone do that on a pc build.
@jaystwocents why don't you paste long and thin stickers the length of the tubing spray them Matt black then remove stickers showing a thin line which displays the color of the coolant. This would fix the matching of the resivour and have the tubing mostly black.

Why not use a very dark automotive window tint for the reservoir. Nondistructive, not permanent if you need to reuse it, in a blacked out case it will look jet black and you shine a bright light through it if you need to see inside.
Jay...hear me out...
vertical mount the GPU and get a printed black sticker big enough to cover the nickle plating, but cut out the Dark Knight logo and turn on the RGB or set it to white. would look friggin cool af
@@synnexLIVE not if he can...if he WILL
You mentioned that you may use tape to create a thin line on the reservoir so you can see how much fluid is in it if you paint it black. Maybe you you could do the same with the tubing?
"Because I passed math class...
Twice."
Aaaaand, cut.
When you paint the tubes black, place dark knight emblem stickers on the front tubes then peel them off after the paint dries so you can see the flow of the fluid as with the reservoir you're painting.....Just a thought.......Also Yellow fluid would really be awesome IMHO......
Paint the res with the bat symbol it would look amazing with yellow fluid
I love this build series, like, knowing about all the thought and decision making that goes into it and what not.
You should tint the reservoir instead of painting it.
He would need a transparent stick on sheet for that to work but you risk bubbling on the sheet if not applied correctly.
@@Mopantsu it would be just like tinting a car just a little more tedious
@@Mopantsu and its cheap
No just do what someone else on here said and just use the transparent black paint that is used too black out tail lights. Would be perfect for this. That way you still see through the tubes and light can go through too.
I think it'd look the best with carbon fiber tubing and get some carbon fiber vinyl wrap to put around the reservoir and leave a small gap between the sheet so you can see the coolant level. Put a clear coat over it if you wanna.
TH-cam recommendation: Dark Knight for 4.99$CAD
Carbon fiber tubing and reservoir. You can get carbon fiber decal to just wrap the tube and the reservoir with. Then they would match.
You should collab with bitwit and do skunkworks vs hotline
There’s no competition. Skunkworks > Hotline
No

Hot Skunk (Pepe Lepew build)
Leave the tube and res clear and use black fluid that’s uv reactant. That would take care of your black on black and be much easier. Will allow you to change the look later as well.
with that Mug on the thumbnail who could avoid clicking on it.
I am sure this will be bad *** without copper tubing but would be nice to see. I almost went copper on my recent first cpu custom loop build . I decided on 5/8 OD ridged stainless tubing turn out great can’t post pick here. Hope to do a copper build soon !

Hey Jay, shop idea! Soft vice jaw inserts meant for holding firearms barrels might be super nice for holding hard lines while cutting. Or maybe those "Earls" brand jaw inserts for automotive AN fittings that hold hose? Could probably use spray adhesive and put some felt on them. Just a thought, have a good day!
everytime I see the bequiet screwdriver i want one too :/
vertical mount it, but to dull the nickle get some window tint spray and smoke out the card and can do the same to the rez
Jay, I am saving for a $650 gaming computer with an RX 570 and I’m basing all my builds and ideas off of your videos! I love your videos so much and would do anything to meet you in person.
If I were to have an opportunity for Make a Wish, you would 100% be my choice.

Recently i was doing Corsair Hydro all watercooled build. The CPU block, radiators and reservoir were really easy to install even for watercooling rookies.However i come to the problem with GPU. I have ROG Strix RTX 2080Ti GPU and unfortunatelly Corsair had only reference GPU waterblocks at stock at that moment. So i went with EK Vector waterblock and man, that was a really hard work. No thermal pads preapplied or even cutted in height and width. After 1 hour of measuring and cutting i finally mounted the waterblock. I was phew finally, now just screw in the backplate. I opened the package and saw another bunch of thermalpads for backplate. However all of it was worth it, but i think, i will never go over this process again, at least in recent years.
I came early, first time ever.
Really?
That's what she said.
Jay you should use Vvivid Dark Smoke Tail Light Tint for the reservoir. If u light it up Yellow it will be smoked but look glossy
various textured black carbon fiber look vinyl wrap is dirt cheap, you could cover the nickel portions of the gpu and cpu blocks with a contrasting finish(matte/textured or matte/shiny) CF logo/whatever and then use the same wrap on the psu shroud and other areas to bring it all together in a blacked out way.
I would clear coat all metal painted parts with enamal op grease from fingers and touching won't remove the lacqure.. and can get matt or gloss finishes, but depends onm how far you wnna go.
Jay you could go to an auto parts store and get some of that carbon fiber wrap sticker material and do a 95% wrap on the reservoir allowing the vertical viewing of the level. Doing this you wouldn't have to mask anything to paint it and also if you didn't like the look you could always just peal it off. Just a thought.
You could also vinyl wrap the reservoir with a matte black vinyl and have the split.
I wish I could like this twice! Can't wait to see this blacked out build!!! SO excited!
You should mask off parts of the acrylic tubing when you spray paint them, leaving very small thin and very angular lines on the tubes where the coolant will show through and then you can choose a color to accent the build that can also go with your RBG color choice. Just an idea but I think it would look cool, dark knight just makes me think of his tank and how angular it was, plus that was a bad ass tank.
G'day Jay,
I'd like to see how painting the Clear Tubing goes, also painting the Res with a thin View Gauge will be interesting & different,
you mentioned changing the RAM but the ones you have match your fans & with mild lighting might work well
I can’t wait for the third part to this build and to see it finished. After it is done can you put the complete part list of everything in it because I would love to build this exact tower for my first build.
Jay ... copper stretches really, really easy. Just need to get a pipe expander of the right size (er ... anyone mention Harbor Freight??) and expand it out about a millimeter and you'd have been golden with the copper. Polished copper with some clear coat would have looked AWESOME inside the blacked out case.
Thanks Jay, looking forward to the finished build!
Jay if you can find a smoked tubing you could try and use window tint on the reservoir to match. Idk if it would work or not but just a thought.
Hey Jay, What about clear tubing and Res, but going with Black Water? Then you could even vertical mount the GPU as a lot of the chrome would be blacked out, and no need to paint Tubes and Res because they will all look Black.
if you paint the tubes you could do a lowrider paint trick and use some kind of fabric wrapped around it and paint through it to leave a texture or lace pattern on the tubes. i've never seen anyone do that on a pc build.
@jaystwocents why don't you paste long and thin stickers the length of the tubing spray them Matt black then remove stickers showing a thin line which displays the color of the coolant. This would fix the matching of the resivour and have the tubing mostly black.
