    Impossible, now I have to sell the other kidney.
  • @xxJOKeR75xx
    I'd like to see a comparison on how the temps change between the normal and the active backplate blocks. Just so we know if it's worth the extra price and effort.
  • @B13ro
    Haha Doug's surprise appearance was hilarious! Thanks Jay for showing us all of the water cooling quirks and features
  • @JezyYT
    Great hanging out with you today Jay! Love these more in depth more detailed hands on water cooling videos
  • @KentBurgess
    I've put Mystic Fog in several builds. The loop really needs to be flushed thoroughly with distilled water before using the Mystic Fog or the reflecting particles will fall out. I've also found that diluting the recommended mixture with about 50% more distilled water leads to much better longevity. The system I built for my wife has been running Mystic Fog for a year and a half with no fallout.

    That EK waterblock looks really sick! As much as I like the 3080 Strix air cooler design, that water block design is so chill and understated. Wish I could do a custom loop in my system
  • @MaheerKibria
    I am glad you are getting back to water cooling and hopefully custom builds. I am really hoping you do some really nice custom stuff now that you guys have a 3D printer and I mean stuff other than brackets for a sensor panel display.
  • More watercooling videos!! YES! Would love to see an updated how-to on watercooling loops for PC's :)
  • @TheBurnsStuff
    Its soooo nice to see you doing a water cooling system again! I know they are a lot of work and very time consuming, but its great to see it. I've been watching you water cool PCs since you had 20k-ish subs. I too, have been running plain jane distilled water in all of my loops. I've been holding out for some low maintenance, sweet looking, but functional fluid additives.
  • I originally found your videos when building my first water cooled rig in 2019. It's nice to see you getting back into it. I've missed your water cooled builds.
  • @arztje
    Their manuals (EKWB) are easy to find and well done. I just did a 2080 OC Strix with an EKWB GPU Water Block - took maybe 20 minutes total between the ASUS being easy to take apart, and the EKWB documentation being well written.
  • @miketwist6536
    Just about died when I saw Doug! Literally just finished one of his vids
  • @mczulian603
    I love the detail of the tool to take the cable off. That's so toughtful from EK. I love it
  • @surly_mel
    I installed a 3080 version of this not too long ago, so nice. Love the active backplate, minimal RGB, and no fuss no leak build. I've tried other water cooling products in the past and ALWAYS come back to EK.
  • Everyone knows what EK is putting out... I'd love to see coverage of like... ANY other brand. What about stuff like Optimus, Heatkiller, Aquacomputer, or any other reputable but almost un-covered company?
  • @krisfahnz
    Thank you Jay and Phil !! and Nick as well ! :D Looking forward to the full build !
  • We love Phil's editing skillz. And yes show us more watercooling pads choices and all that
