This is the most expensive loop(s) I've ever built! Cost of parts has gotten pretty ridiculous. With that said if you want a "reasonable" build, like this comment and I'll build a loop for as little money as possible and compare it to a high end air cooler!

@@HIGHPatientI wouldn't say it's exactly a justification, but there's a reason. It's an absolute niche product, with a low production volume. The production volume is so low, because it's made for a specific board, that not a lot of people would even consider buying, let alone a waterblock designed for it and nothing else. So they take their development cost, production and material cost, add some on top to generate a profit, and that's how you end up with that price. Oh, and of course they take into account that a lot of these will never be sold, so add that, too. EK has some fairly reasonably priced options, although reasonably priced is probably the wrong term for anything watercooling. So.. yeah, I wouldn't even think about buying that. But some people will

I can barely hear it over my 16 Arctic P12 PWM fans (Running them all at around 650 rpm). The EK 4.2 D5 was MUCH louder! Flowrate at 100% avg 172,7 l/h, at 50% avg 124,9 l/h (Measured with High Flow Next). I use a EK Velocity² AMD4 block, Phanteks Glacier G40 Strix/TUF Block, 2 * Alphacool ST30 360mm, 1 * Alphacool XT45 360mm, 9 * 90° fittings, 7 * 90° bends, 14/10mm hardtubing.

People told me I was crazy for doing an EK XE 480mm x 60mm plus a PE360 radiator loop for my 5950x/3090 Kingpin setup when I converted it to liquid cooling 2 years or so ago, your radiator decisions put that in perspective. Cases that fit a 480 are few & far between, one that fits both is even harder to come by, and then there's the SMA8 lol I have a Thermaltake View 91, I know it's stupidly overpriced, but it's something I'm going to re-use for the forseeable future for builds, because it's easy/spacious to work in & can fit anything, period, because it's so spacious, especially once you take out all the stupid HDD cages it comes with. I removed the loop recently from my system because I 'upgraded' to a 4090 & I'll be going 14900K when they come out, I don't miss it. I had full crazy-mode on the loop though, push pull on both radiators, so 14 fans just on the rads alone, and the loop went pump > CPU > P360 Rad > GPU > XE480 Rad (60mm thick) > back to pump res, and it was soft tubing. It's been out of my system 2 weeks & I've yet to actually drain & disassemble the loop so I can clean the rads & resell the parts/GPU etc. That's how much of a pain it is to deal with lol taking it out still fully assembled & full of fluid was fun... heavy too.

I'd love to see more explanation of inner vs outer dimension as well as soft tubing. Part of me wants to do more of an industrial loop. Black soft tubing, no RGB, no case window. A practical setup meant to run for 5 years without maintenance. I generally do close to the top end consumer grade without jumping to hedt. Currently 5950X w/ 128gb ram, and had been running a 3080... decided to put off my full replacement build for a generation with all the ddr and big/little issues. I also run Linux, not too much gaming. Really looking forward to see what comes out this year. I'm hoping AMD has better DDR5 support with 8000 series, I'd love 4x 48gb (192gb) ram at a decent speed/latency. Would settle for 96gb, but wasn't going down to 64gb. Some of my project loads exceed 70gb in use.

An $800 block and pretty much all EK. Goddamn! Even for an "all-out" loop, that motherboard + block seems a bit too much. It's a shame there isn't a Z790 AsRock Aqua. I must say though. The only scenario in which i ever need anything else, is if fittings are broken. I once got about 5 fittings that couldn't be unscrewed. Otherwise, I have the entire build drawn up so I know exactly what I'll need.

What the heck?! I specifically bought an ASUS mobo that EK made a monoblock for so I could directly cool the VRMs while overclocking my Ryzen 9 3950X, and that wasn't even half as expensive as that "special edition" block that simply has metal extensions that only _cover and touch_ the VRMs! I think it was around $300 USD when I bought it on sale at Christmas in 2020, but even at full price it was only $400! Right now, my loop needs the QD fittings that I want to buy before it will be truly finished. Unfortunately, they are rarely in stock anywhere and the few times I see them on Amazon or eBay the prices are triple what they should be. Oh, and I need to get a new pump because this one is ungodly loud. We need another video on the chairs you guys are using.

Correction: You don't "need" a distro block. They look cool but that's about it, a reservoir will more than suffices. Technically you don't even need one, but good luck filling and bleeding the loop without one. I'd actually argue against most people using distro plates because they cause MASSIVE flow restrictions and make bleeding the loop 1000 times harder! Especially proper actual distribution blocks which are directional, not the square blocks EK call distro plates like their Kinetic X360. Exactly why I was surprised when Daniel announced his distro blocks, not to mention Specter, because he always used to complain about them and recommend against them in his videos. If your Jay and have 20+ years' experience with water cooling sure go for it, but if you are that you're not watching babies first water cooling loop video.
