    It's a decent summary, but:

    1. Uses a bit too much thermal paste;

    2. Shortcuts a bit on small details, like not exerting force on your motherboard while resting it on a hard surface, use anti-static measures, make sure to remove metal filings after drilling...

    3. Order of loop is not too clear;

    4. I would really secure those tubes better on the radiator; doesn't emphasise that pump needs to be running while filling up, nor how to power it to do this without turning on the whole PC.

    As I said: a decent summary. Some naive souls however may take it as the whole story. Just pointing out that it is not. ;)

    that was pretty crap.

    i mean using zipties and not securing the tubing properly.

    thats just teaching bad habits to noobs.

    Um... guys, its four and a half years old! This is THG's third video. The video was made before watercooling had really turned away from kits and DIY. Koolance and Innovatek formed the bulk of what little market there was.

    So if course theres errors and practices that might be considered primitive. Since the premise of the video was just to show that watercooling was practical and not too hard to do, it was a great video. In fact, THG making this video likely had a lot to do with the explosion of watercooling that followed.

    A nice video - one I have to smile at as it lured many (me at least) to watercool.
