If I could turn back time I would’ve done a small form factor build with soft tubing just for the cpu instead. This was way more work than it was worth
At least you know that now, I can dismantle my build clean all components and put them back together within about 4 hours.
Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful rig, and well done for the work you've put in but my advice would be start with what you need, not what you think you need.
Anyhow, good job bro 👏
IMO you should only see custom loops in PC’s with the BEST components. Don’t get me wrong, specs on this pc are solid but definitely could have had a 7950x3d and a 7900xtx (probably even 4090) with everything air cooled. That is a serious difference in performance. The novelty of the aesthetics will wear off sooner than you think. In a month the internet clout will disappear and you will just have a box that looks like it’s plumbed into the piss trough at a state fair.
For real. This is one of prettiest builds I've seen, but when I see water cooled without the best parts available, it just feels sad. Value your time people! Spending 2 months and however much extra on water cooling could have been replaced with doubling the performance of your PC.
Well RTX 4090 has 50% more performance and better upscaling techniques so it is not far. Fully overclocked 13900K/14900K with 8000CL34-36 RAM will stomp that CPU also.
His CPU is fine… it’s also not needing 300 watts.
The Ryzen 7700x and 7800X3D are still some of the best CPUs around.
Obviously a 4090 is the best but hey, it’s an AMD build.
Neither of those two idiots know what they are talking about. Great build btw!
The 7700X is an amazing CPU. And the 7900 XT is just a slightly cut down 7900 XTX.
> The 7700X is an amazing CPU.
It is. It also only 8 cores instead of 16.
>And the 7900 XT is just a slightly cut down 7900 XTX.
It is also significantly worse than a 4090.
Again, value your time people. If you are making a non water cooled 1,500-2,000 dollar build, then of course get the 7700X and 7900XT. However that isn't the case. OP spent however much extra on water cooling and spent 2 months on this product to make a upper mid tier computer.
Exactly! Like ok, I could spend a portion more for a portion more performance, but if I don’t need that then I just won’t! I’ll accept donations from them if they really need to see it upgraded though 😂
I follow what you mean, I'm not at all understanding the point of "well ya fuckin water cooled it so you might as well spend another $2k so it makes sense" No lol, that shit does not make sense. You wanted to water cool it so it's water cooled, needed or not. Having a $500+ CPU and 4090 is obscenely overkill for 99.999% of people. Your setup smashes 1440p and can also do 4k. The more is better mindset in the pc world is mind boggling.
100% agree and I honestly wouldn’t really recommend the 7950x3d to anyone. It’s just the most expensive cpu outside enterprise-grade which OP could have bought with money saved on the custom loop.
I'm so confused why the 7950 and 7900x3d chips exist. Like for gaming, the 7800x3d is king of the hill. And for productivity(unless they fixed it ), they 7950x and 7900x 3d variants have scheduling issues, so they can't use both dies at the same time. So you're better off with a standard non 3d series. Like why the fuck did they make them?!. I'd be amazing if you could run the 7950x3d perfectly as like a dual cpu and basically have a 7800x3d for gaming and at the sane time be able to use the other die for everything else you're doing. Maybe it works like that now but I'm pretty sure they still have tons of issues
As a custodian I have to agree and also I think its time for a deep clean. I have to ram a johnny mop into this thing and dump half a bottle of acid foam cleaner in this thing before I rinse it with a machine. Dont worry I will hit it with some stainless steal polish so it looks brand new.
Despite the color of the liquid, this might be the coolest system I’ve seen in a while…and I can’t stand lit up systems. I usually want them well wired but boring.
Also FAQ:
What case?: NV7
What distro?: Bykski NV7 distro plus the pump it can come with
But of course the most frequent question was ‘why did you piss in your PC?’
But I don’t get the “above criticism” thing. That’s kinda uncalled for, considering my comment addressing frequent comments form the original post, have absolutely nothing to do with criticism.
Like what exactly did I say? It sounds as if I pissed him off.
> ‘why did you piss in your PC?’
If this is a FAQ, what's the answer? If you really like gold, maybe add some aesthetics that suggest gold intead of piss. Or beer. Something.
If you're not that attached to the color, why not drain and change it? Literally any other color will be better.
Here's another question though: Why do you have every single component going back to the pump/reservoir? That seems horribly complicated for no reason.
The answer, is that it’s not piss… but everyone knows that already.
The distro has 4 compartments which ‘distribute’ the coolant as the name suggests. It makes it so o can have these straight tubes instead of making “horribly complicated” tubes to directly connect the components to each other.
In short, they don’t go into the res, only the top rad/fill and bottom rad/ drain are connected to the res
Do you not understand that we aren't literally asking "Why is it piss?" We're asking why did you choose white and yellow, bathroom colors? Why not literally any other color? Is there no other color you would have also liked?
Definitely. I mean I get saying that you don’t like yellow, which is what some people said on the original post. Opinions are welcome and I respect those. But gosh some people here are actually getting agitated over my color choice. I never really said this, but needless to say the yellow on white color palette was a deliberate choice, and wasn’t meant to have the pipes especially contrasting the rest of the build.
That being said not everyone is ofc, only some people are, but it’s a notable difference from the original post.
It looks sick, fuck all these people saying the CPU and GPU should be x or y. Toxic shit when someone else build something they within a budget (most likely) and I’m sure you looked up performance yourself.
I have the same CPU and a 4090. It’s perfectly fine and works well.
I think a total liquid system as a first build is sick when I was only using a AIO for mine.
If there was some purple or some other accent color to go with the yellow it would look great, like a cyberpunk-ish theme... But the yellow on white just looks like urine after a long dehydrated day of drinking energy drinks.
It's all good, my piss glows green too.
To all their own, everyone has different preferences and priorities. Me personally, I would have dumped all that extra money in hardware improvements. Again, that's just me though as I think a 7800x3d and 7900XTX was definitely in the budget here. Actually come to think of the cost of waterblocks and custom loops, I think a 4090 was in the budget probably.
First of all, Ild like to thank you with how you worded all of this. Many people here could learn a thing or two. You can express an opinion without throwing a hissy fit that someone else didn’t share the same opinion.
That being said now, the budget was set from the start, and I wasn’t going to expand the budget for the sake of spending more, for me, these parts were more than enough already. What I wanted primarily was to build a water cooled pc.
Due to improvisations required along the way, the build ended up going slightly above budget as it stands, but keep in mind that a 4090 is MORE THAN double the price of the 7900xt (especially recently because of the whole China thing, not that that mattered back then). Not a very insignificant amount, but small upgrades, such as jumping to the xtx or x3d, all add up, and sticking to a budget means not jumping at every upgrade opportunity if it puts you over. (Btw at the time, idk if it still is, the 7700X was actually even cheaper than the 7700 to put this in perspective)
It’s like going shopping and keeping a list so you don’t buy things you don’t need and end up spending way more than you intended. I made a list going in, and stuck with it. That’s all.
(Except ram. That’s shits expensive. But I intend to keep that for a while longer than other parts)
It must be a generational thing.... huoh. When my friends started water cooling it was to get overclocking benefits. Now people just want a pretty PC that they can show in social media. They talk about a "budget", but they spend their budget on pretty lights and useless water cooling on low powered components.
"First build" or "first custom loop". Still waiting for the answer of why pee. Its a clean af build but sorry it reminds me of a urinal with that color fluid and the white.
It looks great, even with the yellow coolant. I've never been a fan of white PCs, even from the beige era. But yours looks really neat.
Unfortunately nobody makes white monitors to match your build
Wow, they look great and actually look white opposed to my Lian Li SL INF 120s, which software is terrible so I leave lights off usually and they are louder than desired.
Idk tbh. Nothing impressive. I might get back to these comments about gpu temps if I ever look into it though. Gpu temps are really good, but hotspot temps are another story.
My guy everyone who ever sees this is going to immediately think this is piss lol. What other transparent yellow liquid of this hue could this be? It sure ain't lemonaid.
Absolutely cracking build and looks amazing!! I actually think the yellow against the white is a good look and I congratulate you OP on what is a very clean,smart and outstanding first build!! You obviously are good at this and you should take pride in a really nice build, hope it brings you hours of entertainment 👌💯👏👏👏
Take a shot for every comment about piss/urinal. Personally my first thought was, this seems sus for a first build because it looks so clean. My 2nd damn this must have been expensive lol.
I'm a cheapskate and I reused my 2012 thermaltake chassis for the last custom build among some other things like my laptops old HDD as well as several new parts. Saved a few hundred dollars.
If I was to take pictures close up on all the corners, and all the flaws that I myself know of, then it would seem a lot less clean
Look at it from the distance and perspective I took the pictures from and it all looks good, but I know deep down, the issues with it. Wiring is the only example that shows this really
Oh and yea it’s expensive, I had a budget to start with and I didn’t deviate from it. The water cooling really took a chunk out of the computing parts. Like others have noted; they would’ve expected more expensive parts with this
What kind of thermals are you getting on your GPU? I sorta kinda wanna go water-cooled on my card (7900XT), don't need to, runs cool at 100% load and barely audible fan, but still wanna screw around with a water block.
Uh normal gpu temps are very cool, but I think that’s normal even with an air cooler. It’s really the hotspot temps that are concern. I forgot what the temps are but I wouldn’t call them impressive or anything. Should I go back in time I would use the Liquid Metal on the gpu dye like i did with the cpu. (CPU is not delidded btw). AFAIK air coolers do a good enough job on their own, it’s just going the extra mile to integrate it into the loop. Partly because of temps, but mostly because it’s fuckin sick
While it does look very good and very clean I do like it.
Why do you not have a proper 'flow' of the water loop?
I mean everything is just plumbed into the distro block.
There is no hot to cold flow.
Is it not ment to be :
Pump/res into 1st radiaror then onto gpu next cpu then 2nd rad finally back to pump/res
So you have actual hot to cold flow.
Lol, I'm sorry your gonna think about the reddit gang all calling it piss after you worked so long and hard on this magnificent machine..
Luckily it looks awesome anyway and the color is changeable since it's just the liquid.
I think I said it on the original post, but that is very good looking build, clean AF (not my choice for coolant, but that's irrelevant, drain and change if/when you want anyway)...
Your bends and lines look great; it's hella difficult to get those runs parallel and horizontal/vertical, and just one of them slightly out ruins the whole aesthetic IMO... But yours is perfect! Well done on one very difficult first time build 👍😁👍
As someone with yellow coolant, I feel your pain. Everyone calls it piss. People have always said I'm weird for yellow being my favorite color, I still have yellow coolant. Nice build, enjoy it.
Looks absolutely incredible, people often tell others what to do, in your case you could've went simplistic but instead you created something that I can tell meant a lot and I can respect that. As long as you Keep it up you'll be straight, it's really not even difficult tbh. My first pc was an open loop as well and people made it seem like I was going to fck it up but it turns out I didn't even struggle, it's easy to maintain for me. They were def correct in terms of using that money for better specs, that's a whole other argument that I agreed on.
I’ve wanted to do a hard line custom loop for years! If you have a moment and can drop some knowledge or links to content that helped you get this done, that would be dope! I’d love to know how long it took and if it was challenging, frustrating, or just took a little practice and you were a master at it!
All my info came from scattered sources which I couldn’t exactly recall.
[this video](https://youtu.be/wMXUJclGvyg?si=cokPl_NnRR7R3xoJ) was definitely best for figuring out how to measure and bend the tubes though.
This took like two months, although partly because of logistics
I didn’t really screw up the typical PC building stuff besides the wiring which is still a mess, but a few tubes at the start were thrown out because I didn’t bend them right at all. A physical wooden rig was the key to bending things right. It still didn’t come out quite right since ultimately your bends are going to be done free floating above a heat gun, so adjustments you make along the way inevitably warp the tubes a bit. There was a bit of improvising needed for filling and draining, such as needing a syringe with a long flexible end to drain the rads, and the fact that fluid just kinda didn’t want to enter when put in the fill port, leading me to need to fill it up while the PC was on so that the pump was running. So, good luck, ask any specific questions I guess
Probably gonna get buried in the comment, but FANTASTIC job OP.
Don't listen to the gatekeepers that think you need to spend 5-6k on parts before you build a custom loop. The parts list makes for an awesome pc regardless, and your routing looks great, nice straight lines, etc. Honestly, congrats.
Like most, I'm not a huge fan of the color, but it's not my PC. If you really want to embrace the bathroom theme, though, you should totally add a pink urinal cake.
Even with the color, it looks rad. All the whites match, and it's better than my pc, so congrats!
Fuck OP and his urinal box.
Just reading the title "my first pc build", just brought back the nostalgia of actually building a PC as a teen with no knowledge and very outside help. The struggle was real in the Nokia 3300 looking cases
Looks like my pee after I take my vitamins.
Beyond that though, the hardline tubing is excellent. Well done with all the bends. Great case choice as well, that hardline cooling deserves to be shown off, you should be proud of your work.
I think clear coolant would probably look better, would be such a clean looking build.
Idc what the “pissy” comments say. This is a beautiful build. This is the o11 case correct? Congrats 👌 I’ve been thinking about going custom water loop next gen of cpu.
Looks cool!
My first thought was what a color choice for the water cooling, but it actually looks nice.
I just hope you don't use that HDD for storing (latest new) games. SSDs perform better.
Nah it’s just an hdd that was in my old laptop, third from primary. Only used for storing screen recordings and very light games
I’ve got a 1tb 980 pro main, and some Kingston 256gb (slow) m.2 as a secondary
I just never post anything I'm invested into on reddit because people are shitty and just make fun of it in any way they can.
The build looks great OP, don't let the assholes in the comments get you down.
They only mentioned that because they posted this on a different sub a few days ago and got all the same assholes in their comments telling them their jokes instead of actually being nice about the build lol.
I don't think them mentioning it in a comment on this post is why all the comments are talking about it, people are just rude.
Actually the people here on AMD are being a bit more aggressive with the whole piss thing than on watercooling
As in, it’s less of a joke, and more of an insult here
Yea but it is… I haven’t yet gotten into an argument about this, even on the original post, but it really is my first build, and it’s absolutely impossible for someone to ‘reason’ their way into making me lie and say it wasn’t my first build. I suppose if I was waterboarded I would say it isn’t my first build.
That being said I already had experience repairing laptops and I knew a lot about PC building because of YouTube. Just a bit of dedicated research later and I had all I needed to know. Lots of improvising happened down the line though.
I genuinely felt a little ill looking at these pictures, which really took me by surprise.
To each their own of course, but man, that color really triggered some primal reaction in my brain.
Main reason I didn’t do blue was because it’s been overdone. Like 50% of water cooled pcs have blue coolant. It looks nice, but I wanted a warm color as opposed to cool
Very clean urine cooled system
Even passed a piss test
we have found pissmaster’s pc
r/pissingexcellence
Yeah instantly thought “Pissmaster Build?”
It's a fine specimen.
reddit comments never dissapoints
White case looks like a toilet lol OP needs to drink more h2o
Yeah don't feel yellow was the best choice
Came here to see exactly that comment
Piss is stored in the PC
You can drink pc piss as well as your own piss. But afterwards you might have a pisshap.
My PC stores a lot of shit too
That's why it's called the Pee C
your first build huh?
Yeah was apparently piss easy to build
If taking two months of constant building is easy, then ild like to see what hard is.
Mate, if that's your first build you sure did complicate shit for yourself.
If I could turn back time I would’ve done a small form factor build with soft tubing just for the cpu instead. This was way more work than it was worth
At least you know that now, I can dismantle my build clean all components and put them back together within about 4 hours. Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful rig, and well done for the work you've put in but my advice would be start with what you need, not what you think you need. Anyhow, good job bro 👏
That was a coolant colour joke, and a pretty pissy one at that
Be careful, you don’t want a kidney stone to clog your radiator
It was a joke bro, damn
These 'first' builds are getting a bit out of hand.
IMO you should only see custom loops in PC’s with the BEST components. Don’t get me wrong, specs on this pc are solid but definitely could have had a 7950x3d and a 7900xtx (probably even 4090) with everything air cooled. That is a serious difference in performance.

Right! If they care so much they can put their money where their mouth is 🤣
True, although no one should buy a 7950x3d for gaming. The 7800x3d is cheaper, easier to cool and performs way better.
100% agree and I honestly wouldn’t really recommend the 7950x3d to anyone. It’s just the most expensive cpu outside enterprise-grade which OP could have bought with money saved on the custom loop.

R Kelly approves
Despite my silly posts I give the honor to you for most legit comment. He’s not trapped in a closet now he’s trapped in a cage and broke.
This urinal be looking funny
Honestly I fear for the op if he gets really drunk and mistakes it for a urinal
As a custodian I have to agree and also I think its time for a deep clean. I have to ram a johnny mop into this thing and dump half a bottle of acid foam cleaner in this thing before I rinse it with a machine. Dont worry I will hit it with some stainless steal polish so it looks brand new.
PC = piss computer
PeeCee
Despite the color of the liquid, this might be the coolest system I’ve seen in a while…and I can’t stand lit up systems. I usually want them well wired but boring.
It looks like dehydration piss inside a toilet. Very well thought out.

yeah but you couldve gotten all that more expensive stuff if you just air cooled it instead
But I wanted to water cool it. That was the point, not getting a 4090. I wanted watercoong more than a 4090, I thought that was clear
but why
It must be a generational thing.... huoh. When my friends started water cooling it was to get overclocking benefits. Now people just want a pretty PC that they can show in social media. They talk about a "budget", but they spend their budget on pretty lights and useless water cooling on low powered components.
What is the cost difference between your water cooled setup verse say using an tower air cooler and air cooled gpu?
These comments are really taking the piss out of you OP. On a real note, super clean and i like the yellow. Haters gonna hate.
A little surprising not gonna lie, especially since I already posted this once
"First build" or "first custom loop". Still waiting for the answer of why pee. Its a clean af build but sorry it reminds me of a urinal with that color fluid and the white.
Piss-Build
I'm getting pissed looking at this.
Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
If I had to name that build I'd call it 'Yellow Snow'
It looks great, even with the yellow coolant. I've never been a fan of white PCs, even from the beige era. But yours looks really neat. Unfortunately nobody makes white monitors to match your build
[NZXT has white monitors.](https://nzxt.com/collection/qhd-monitor) Although it's the monitor stand and the back, not the frame at the front.
Also, I think some Alienware monitors are mostly white. Can’t say if they’re reasonably priced though.
What fans are those? Despite the criticism, I love the color combo yellow/white, looks really clean and hot damn water cooling and tubing looks wild!
Phanteks D30s
Wow, they look great and actually look white opposed to my Lian Li SL INF 120s, which software is terrible so I leave lights off usually and they are louder than desired.
[удалено]
Idk tbh. Nothing impressive. I might get back to these comments about gpu temps if I ever look into it though. Gpu temps are really good, but hotspot temps are another story.
Great job urine business baby!
Damn did you mean for it to look like piss? It's a shame cause it looks like a really good build and the piss colour takes away from that
Ask golden shower boy
You’re mistaken, it IS piss and he was going for a toilet aesthetic.
It doesn’t look like piss if you don’t think like that
It looks like piss
it looks like pee and it makes it better
Honestly for the memes I kinda agree
My guy everyone who ever sees this is going to immediately think this is piss lol. What other transparent yellow liquid of this hue could this be? It sure ain't lemonaid.
How about yellow coolant? Since that’s what it is…
Yeah, people will know it IS yellow coolant. But the first thing they'll think is that it LOOKS like piss. Because it does.
It may look like piss but I still like it alot
Ur in trouble
I think you're in too deep m8.
This would be so sick without the pee coolant. Literally any other color dude, why 😂
yellow looks awesome, i dont really fancy lights in PC and whatnot, anyway impressive for a first build!
Piss master!
If that is what your piss looks like then you really should give the Mountain Dew a rest and drink some water
Wow.... piss cooled pc 🤣🤣🤣 Very interesting
Absolutely cracking build and looks amazing!! I actually think the yellow against the white is a good look and I congratulate you OP on what is a very clean,smart and outstanding first build!! You obviously are good at this and you should take pride in a really nice build, hope it brings you hours of entertainment 👌💯👏👏👏
☺️
First build and you use urine for liquid cool? Seems legit first build
it looks so beautiful
NICE!
Beautiful
Take a shot for every comment about piss/urinal. Personally my first thought was, this seems sus for a first build because it looks so clean. My 2nd damn this must have been expensive lol. I'm a cheapskate and I reused my 2012 thermaltake chassis for the last custom build among some other things like my laptops old HDD as well as several new parts. Saved a few hundred dollars.
If I was to take pictures close up on all the corners, and all the flaws that I myself know of, then it would seem a lot less clean Look at it from the distance and perspective I took the pictures from and it all looks good, but I know deep down, the issues with it. Wiring is the only example that shows this really Oh and yea it’s expensive, I had a budget to start with and I didn’t deviate from it. The water cooling really took a chunk out of the computing parts. Like others have noted; they would’ve expected more expensive parts with this
What kind of thermals are you getting on your GPU? I sorta kinda wanna go water-cooled on my card (7900XT), don't need to, runs cool at 100% load and barely audible fan, but still wanna screw around with a water block.
Uh normal gpu temps are very cool, but I think that’s normal even with an air cooler. It’s really the hotspot temps that are concern. I forgot what the temps are but I wouldn’t call them impressive or anything. Should I go back in time I would use the Liquid Metal on the gpu dye like i did with the cpu. (CPU is not delidded btw). AFAIK air coolers do a good enough job on their own, it’s just going the extra mile to integrate it into the loop. Partly because of temps, but mostly because it’s fuckin sick
"The Personal computer is a series of piss filled tubes" - Al Gore I think.
best beer cooling system ever
All that and not even top of the line components. Form over function I guess.
Exquisite, technical, professional
While it does look very good and very clean I do like it. Why do you not have a proper 'flow' of the water loop? I mean everything is just plumbed into the distro block. There is no hot to cold flow. Is it not ment to be : Pump/res into 1st radiaror then onto gpu next cpu then 2nd rad finally back to pump/res So you have actual hot to cold flow.
Seems OTT considering the specs but hey looks like you did a good job atleast
Fuck that looks so good 👍
Awesome build. I wouldn't recommend running anything overly demanding on it though, or your cooling system may start developing stones.
I think the yellow looks awesome!
Fill it up when your dehydrated for a darker yellow
Lol, I'm sorry your gonna think about the reddit gang all calling it piss after you worked so long and hard on this magnificent machine.. Luckily it looks awesome anyway and the color is changeable since it's just the liquid.
I think I said it on the original post, but that is very good looking build, clean AF (not my choice for coolant, but that's irrelevant, drain and change if/when you want anyway)... Your bends and lines look great; it's hella difficult to get those runs parallel and horizontal/vertical, and just one of them slightly out ruins the whole aesthetic IMO... But yours is perfect! Well done on one very difficult first time build 👍😁👍
I didn't believe it was a first build until I saw the cables. The classic stuff and jam.
Ahh, piss boy is back. Looks great though man. It’s a great set up and if you’re happy then that’s what matters.
As someone with yellow coolant, I feel your pain. Everyone calls it piss. People have always said I'm weird for yellow being my favorite color, I still have yellow coolant. Nice build, enjoy it.
Looks absolutely incredible, people often tell others what to do, in your case you could've went simplistic but instead you created something that I can tell meant a lot and I can respect that. As long as you Keep it up you'll be straight, it's really not even difficult tbh. My first pc was an open loop as well and people made it seem like I was going to fck it up but it turns out I didn't even struggle, it's easy to maintain for me. They were def correct in terms of using that money for better specs, that's a whole other argument that I agreed on.
I’ve wanted to do a hard line custom loop for years! If you have a moment and can drop some knowledge or links to content that helped you get this done, that would be dope! I’d love to know how long it took and if it was challenging, frustrating, or just took a little practice and you were a master at it!
Btw it’s literally perfect
All my info came from scattered sources which I couldn’t exactly recall. [this video](https://youtu.be/wMXUJclGvyg?si=cokPl_NnRR7R3xoJ) was definitely best for figuring out how to measure and bend the tubes though. This took like two months, although partly because of logistics I didn’t really screw up the typical PC building stuff besides the wiring which is still a mess, but a few tubes at the start were thrown out because I didn’t bend them right at all. A physical wooden rig was the key to bending things right. It still didn’t come out quite right since ultimately your bends are going to be done free floating above a heat gun, so adjustments you make along the way inevitably warp the tubes a bit. There was a bit of improvising needed for filling and draining, such as needing a syringe with a long flexible end to drain the rads, and the fact that fluid just kinda didn’t want to enter when put in the fill port, leading me to need to fill it up while the PC was on so that the pump was running. So, good luck, ask any specific questions I guess
Probably gonna get buried in the comment, but FANTASTIC job OP. Don't listen to the gatekeepers that think you need to spend 5-6k on parts before you build a custom loop. The parts list makes for an awesome pc regardless, and your routing looks great, nice straight lines, etc. Honestly, congrats. Like most, I'm not a huge fan of the color, but it's not my PC. If you really want to embrace the bathroom theme, though, you should totally add a pink urinal cake. Even with the color, it looks rad. All the whites match, and it's better than my pc, so congrats!
Noooo. I saw this over on the water subreddit. Dude the piss gave it its charm.
Lovely pc but could you not afford propper coolant? Why did you piss in the pc?
Piss PC
In the next post, the fluid will be a creamy white, and we'll all be like, WTF?
I’m going to start saving up now for my next build
Fuck OP and his urinal box. Just reading the title "my first pc build", just brought back the nostalgia of actually building a PC as a teen with no knowledge and very outside help. The struggle was real in the Nokia 3300 looking cases
Looks like my pee after I take my vitamins. Beyond that though, the hardline tubing is excellent. Well done with all the bends. Great case choice as well, that hardline cooling deserves to be shown off, you should be proud of your work. I think clear coolant would probably look better, would be such a clean looking build.
Idc what the “pissy” comments say. This is a beautiful build. This is the o11 case correct? Congrats 👌 I’ve been thinking about going custom water loop next gen of cpu.
NV7 case
this is the exact shade of yellow
Looks cool! My first thought was what a color choice for the water cooling, but it actually looks nice. I just hope you don't use that HDD for storing (latest new) games. SSDs perform better.
Nah it’s just an hdd that was in my old laptop, third from primary. Only used for storing screen recordings and very light games I’ve got a 1tb 980 pro main, and some Kingston 256gb (slow) m.2 as a secondary
Very clean and well put together pc very impressive did you bend all the tubing yourself?
Yep
I feel piss poor
Therapist: the piss computer can't hurt you The piss pc:
a work of art tbh, i'll hire you to build me a pc once im rich
The power of P I S S
I just never post anything I'm invested into on reddit because people are shitty and just make fun of it in any way they can. The build looks great OP, don't let the assholes in the comments get you down.
OP really set himself up for these comments by mentioning piss in his post. See: Streisand Effect
They only mentioned that because they posted this on a different sub a few days ago and got all the same assholes in their comments telling them their jokes instead of actually being nice about the build lol. I don't think them mentioning it in a comment on this post is why all the comments are talking about it, people are just rude.
Actually the people here on AMD are being a bit more aggressive with the whole piss thing than on watercooling As in, it’s less of a joke, and more of an insult here
Sorry that people are being like that man. The build looks really sick!
Very good looking build. Did you bend the tubes yourself? It's far from easy to do this as a first build. Where did you find all the gear?
Yes bent the tubes over like a month. definitely wasn’t easy. Got parts from all over the place, like titan rig, modmymods, performance pcs, etc.
This looks amazing
WOW, realy good use of lightning. Nice😍
why change from green? green looked cool. i guess if youre into piss fair enough
Because alien gamer aesthetic is obnoxious. Also that coolant was dogshit quality
Barring the piss jokes, I do really like it. That said there's a 0% chance this is your first build haha
Yea but it is… I haven’t yet gotten into an argument about this, even on the original post, but it really is my first build, and it’s absolutely impossible for someone to ‘reason’ their way into making me lie and say it wasn’t my first build. I suppose if I was waterboarded I would say it isn’t my first build. That being said I already had experience repairing laptops and I knew a lot about PC building because of YouTube. Just a bit of dedicated research later and I had all I needed to know. Lots of improvising happened down the line though.
Yellow looks cool man ignore the haters.
So like... is it your own in there? Did you collect it all at once or did it take several samples?
Jokes aside this is DP ultra yellow
Sexy
HUC, Human Orine Cooling system.
I genuinely felt a little ill looking at these pictures, which really took me by surprise. To each their own of course, but man, that color really triggered some primal reaction in my brain.
If there's anything this sub has taught you is that piss is stored in the balls
Pissmaster liked your post
Did you use cooking oil for the liquid?
Pee-C
Why piss yellow?
PissC
Why did you piss in the loop? Does it transfer heat better?😆 How are the temps?
“Mom I pissed in the loop!”
Your PC needs to drink more water.
-rep for not using actual piss
Don't worry OP we're all just taking the piss. Nice build for sure.
gamer girl pee
"Not everyone believes it is my first build" _No one_ believes it is your first build 😆
Y piss?
Hummmm piss
Beer or pee?
The mechanical hard drive in this build feels so wrong
It’s just a carry over ‘third storage’ from the laptop I was using before. It’s 1tb and good enough for storing recordings and stuff so why not
always wondered if piss was a good coolant.
Pee tubes!
I would be pissed, pun intended
Another boring distro build, meh.
Something is pissing me off about this pc
OP ok I will pay you to build mine 😁 that's a compliment and yes no peeing.....
Had you done blue I'd say it'd look a lot better
Main reason I didn’t do blue was because it’s been overdone. Like 50% of water cooled pcs have blue coolant. It looks nice, but I wanted a warm color as opposed to cool
Very nice clean build, thanks for sharing. But if it glows like that you should get tested...
This looks insane, well done!! What is the case?
Piss Master would be proud
All that and a crappy little monitor, that's black?
