VIXIA PC

VIXIA PC, handcrafted liquid-cooled PC builds in the UK

VIXIA PC presents itself as a British boutique builder specialising in custom gaming computers and high-performance workstations with custom liquid cooling. The company states that it designs, assembles, tests and supports every system in the UK, with a focus on performance, acoustics, aesthetics and long-term user experience.

Unlike high-volume manufacturers, VIXIA says it limits the number of custom projects per year to focus on build quality and customer care. According to its own count, it has built more than 200 custom liquid-cooled gaming PCs and has ten years of experience in this type of build.

Systems and cooling services

The catalogue is organised into three system series (VXS, VXD and VXF) and several liquid-cooling options depending on the scope of the loop:

• CPU-only cooling: the system cools only the processor and keeps the graphics card's original fans, an option designed for those who plan to upgrade the GPU in the future.
• Combined CPU and GPU cooling: a single loop and a single pump cool the processor and graphics card with a single liquid colour, aiming for a understated design and stable performance.
• Dual CPU and GPU cooling: two pumps and independent loops for CPU and GPU, aimed at maximising cooling performance without compromising on design.

In addition to building new systems, the company offers rebuilding of existing systems to turn them into custom liquid-cooled PCs, as well as upgrade, repair and maintenance services.

Work process and customer support

Each system is planned individually based on the user's needs. VIXIA states that it maintains direct communication throughout the process and sends daily photo updates of the build's progress. Before delivery, the system is fully configured: Windows and driver installation, performance testing and final checks, so that the system arrives ready to turn on and use.

The company notes that many of its systems are personally delivered and installed across the UK, and that it offers post-delivery support, including maintenance, upgrades and troubleshooting.

System rebuilding: before and after

VIXIA illustrates its transformation service with a comparative case. The original system used soft tubing, a basic cooling layout and poor coolant maintenance, which reduced cooling efficiency and gave a neglected appearance. VIXIA's intervention redesigned the assembly with 16 mm hardline tubing, improved coolant flow and incorporated advanced monitoring features, with an improvement in both aesthetics and thermal performance.

Coverage and clientele

The company states that it has built and delivered systems to customers across the UK, and mentions among the cities served London, Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Among the uses it envisages for its systems are gaming, gaming and streaming, content creation and video editing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, stock and cryptocurrency trading, professional workstations and other unspecified uses.

Customer profile and budget

The website's quote request form segments projects by approximate budget, with tiers ranging from under £3,000 to over £12,000. The testimonials collected on the site highlight the personal attention, communication during the build and the ability to define every component and every aesthetic detail, including LED colour and the design of the cooling loop.
