This YouTuber spent two months building a titanium-liquid-cooled gaming PC

YouTuber Jakkuh, who previously worked with Linus Tech Tips, spent two months designing a high-spec gaming PC to test titanium liquid cooling. He calls it "the fastest computer I've ever had" and fitted it with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, an RTX 5090 with an Optimus RTX 5090 PNY water block, 96 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 NEDO DDR5, 4 TB of Sabrent Rocket 5 Gen5 storage and a Seasonic Prime TX 1600 W power supply.

Before bending a single tube, Jakkuh made a 3D model of the build to design a distro plate that would pump coolant around the system. He bent his own titanium tubing with a $140 bender instead of a $30,000 mandrel bender, printed a custom vice to avoid clamping damage and filled the tubes with sand to protect them.

The build still ran into delays: a week spent on the distro plate, multiple missing packages, two water blocks with opposite flows that required a custom diagonal channel, and acrylic that was 0.3 inches too small for the plate he designed. Jakkuh calls the finished rig "probably the worst build of my entire life.
