1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,600
so the editing team here asked me for something very specific they want the

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:12,799
fastest machine that I can build for exporting videos and they want it in the

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:18,880
server room so that they can just remote into it and Export their projects

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,760
directly from Premiere instead of going

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:27,199
from premere to C form and then having a separate machine take it to h264 so I

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:30,800
kind of went okay only one small

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,360
problem with petabyte project coming

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,879
space in our rack is at something of a premium and if you want the fastest

9
00:00:34,879 --> 00:00:45,120
machine I can build I want to overclock it but I've only got two used to do it

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:45,120
so what's the solution water

11
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,480
cooling tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,040
privately and enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out

13
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:08,720
the link in the video description so believe it or not uh

14
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:13,360
water cooling servers is actually a pretty common thing but as with anything

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:18,960
that we do around here there's a right way to do it and there's a wrong way to

16
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:26,640
do it so the right way to water cool a server is to buy a server or usually

17
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,280
server solution that is designed to be

18
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:34,520
water cooled so typically that'll be servers that plug in with quick

19
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:38,399
disconnect fittings to a a cabinet or

20
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,479
even an entire room or building that has

21
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:42,840
giant heat dissipation units located on

22
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:49,799
the outside the wrong way to do it as the uh

23
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,640
regular viewers have probably already figured out is the way that we're going

24
00:01:51,719 --> 00:02:01,840
to go about this is to just grab an off the-shelf server and uh jury rig some

25
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:01,840
liquid cooling into it

26
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:11,400
come on out you bastard

27
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:14,840
okay so let's meet our victim then shall

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,720
we I actually threw this box together

29
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:21,599
during our server maintenance weekend yesterday and the day before and the day

30
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:26,000
before that it was a it was a long weekend just to make sure that it was

31
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:33,519
all working before I went and water cooled it so in here we've got an ASUS

32
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:37,000
x99 Delux 2 we've got a coree i7 6950x

33
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:39,440
extreme Edition 10 core we've got a

34
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Noctua cooler that's clearly got to go I mean I love Noctua but not going to be

35
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:48,000
suitable for that CPU we've got uh 32

36
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:54,680
gigs of Corsair Dominator Platinum painted orange RAM we've actually got a

37
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,959
GTX 980 in here that's about all we need

38
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,680
for video acceleration and then I wasn't sure what to do on the boot Drive I

39
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,840
actually have a PCI Express SSD down there just to see if it was going to

40
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:09,000
work in that second slot but I think we're going to go with these two guys in

41
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,210
raid one yes I know they're refurbished yes I know they're old but it's raid one

42
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:15,480
it should be

43
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:23,120
okay so now I need some water cooling gear normally I would reach out to all

44
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,920
The Usual Suspects and get them to send

45
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:30,640
over some cool stuff but uh this project

46
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:32,519
was not planned out at all

47
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,599
so what I'm stuck with is just kind of going through the shelves here and

48
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,560
seeing what I can find some of this is what I would have used anyway like the

49
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:46,319
Primo chill Advanced LRT tubing I found some in red uh but some of this stuff is

50
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:49,519
a very random mish mash of what I had on

51
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,079
the water cooling shelf so here's um a

52
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:58,120
D5 pump with a top from Ek that was from a previous project here's a a phobia

53
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Reservoir that's just the smallest tube Reservoir that I have on hand here's an

54
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:07,920
old Alpha cool rad that I found and

55
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,319
finally this is an interesting story I

56
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,920
take pride in completing the sponsored projects that I asked for hardware for

57
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:21,000
and over two years ago I asked bits power for a very specific set of

58
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:27,199
fittings for a water cooled bit Phoenix Prodigy built and I never delivered it

59
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,199
for a number of reasons and so I've just

60
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:31,840
kind of shamefully looked at these every

61
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:36,000
time I've gone through the fittings box having not really any use for all these

62
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:41,759
like 45s and right angles it only had two straight fittings in it but that all

63
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:45,440
changes today because I finally have a

64
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,680
project that I can use them for so stage

65
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,160
one is to kind of tear everything out that I already had in there and have a

66
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:56,080
look at the space we're working with this was actually our old router case

67
00:04:53,240 --> 00:05:00,199
and as you can see there is a lot of wasted space for like 5 and 1/4 in Drive

68
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,759
Bay these fans that are just kind of hanging

69
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,199
out in the middle of nowhere we're still going to need intake fans but a lot of

70
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,919
this space could be utilized for something else but I still have some

71
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,840
concerns so we've got an EK Supremacy Evo block I'm using the all metal

72
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,000
version we don't want to take any unnecessary risks with leaks since this

73
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,280
will actually be sitting above paby project and I just wanted to make sure

74
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,680
that it's actually going to fit in the

75
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:33,479
2u height with our 90° fitting so that's

76
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,919
good then same thing metal caps for the

77
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:41,840
end of our tube Reservoir I need to find somewhere to put that which looks like

78
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,479
it's going to be right about here and then I need somewhere to put my

79
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:51,560
radiator and it looks like we've got a small clearance issue there but nothing

80
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:58,080
we can't resolve so this is great everything came out really easily giving

81
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:01,639
us actually more space what we're going

82
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,440
to do is actually sub in a triple

83
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:09,919
radiator where I had intended to use a dual

84
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,599
radiator now the mounting though is

85
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:17,080
going to be a little bit tricky we're actually going to raise it a little bit

86
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:21,240
off the bottom of the case then we're going to have the fans blowing up this

87
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,360
way and we're going to have these three fans carrying the air through the case

88
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:30,000
as a whole bear in mind guys this is a

89
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:35,319
triple radiator and we don't have enough room to cool the video card anyway so

90
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:37,599
it's only responsible for cooling the

91
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:41,240
CPU so there are a couple of things you're going to notice me doing about

92
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:47,479
this build that would be a little bit different than normal uh number one is

93
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:53,319
I'm going to be using everywhere that I can so on the radiator on the CPU block

94
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:59,039
and on the reservoir actually I'm going to be using vice grips to tighten up

95
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,960
these nled fittings like this because I

96
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:06,759
can cannot risk a leak and as long as we are screwing into metal there's no

97
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:10,160
danger other than to the finish on the nled fittings the other thing you're

98
00:07:08,599 --> 00:07:14,599
going to notice is that I'm going to be optimizing for the shortest possible

99
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:20,919
tubing runs wherever I can because no matter how good your tubing is it will

100
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:24,000
be slightly porous and that's where

101
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:27,440
water evaporates from a water cooling

102
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,120
system so I'm going to have as little of

103
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:36,160
that exposed as possible now I'm getting really excited I think I

104
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:38,199
finally got a pretty solid plan for how

105
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:43,240
this is going to come together so I need some kind of riser for this Reservoir to

106
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:48,720
make sure that it is high enough that the pump's Inlet is going to be easily

107
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:52,800
fed by it then that conveniently gets me right up to the same level as this right

108
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:59,520
angle coming off the radiator that will go back into the res very cool stuff

109
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:03,759
then the CPU is easy this tube looks like it's just going to fit under the

110
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:09,560
graphics card and this one comes right over here giving me a total of only

111
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:10,560
about like two feet and change of

112
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,319
exposed tubing mounting everything to the bottom

113
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,800
of the case is extremely important and

114
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:22,400
needs to be very precise if I screw up

115
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:27,840
the placement just a little bit for the radiator the pump and the reservoir they

116
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,680
aren't all going to fit the other thing that's going to be really tricky down

117
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:36,680
down here is the fact that this is a rack

118
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:38,880
mounted case so I can't just have like

119
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:46,000
the head of a screw sticking through here it'll bump on the next one down so

120
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:53,320
what I've got are these sunken type screws here and the plan is to use what

121
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,240
is not a proper bit for metal but I only

122
00:08:53,320 --> 00:09:01,000
need a few holes out of it but I'm going to use one of these uh stepped style

123
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:05,360
drill bits to see if I can create a counter sunk hole as as best as I can

124
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:11,040
yes I know it's not 100% the best way to do it but come on you're watching M the

125
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:15,120
decks we're going to pre-drill a hole in

126
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,120
the red to tap

127
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,360
into

128
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:31,399
oh went too far hit the tube well I am

129
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:37,880
not sure if I could be more pissed off right now so the bad news is that we

130
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:42,640
punctured the radiator and I don't have another one of the same but the good

131
00:09:39,959 --> 00:09:49,480
news is that that hole that I was drilling these screws thread in and kind

132
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,920
of self-tap perfectly nice solid

133
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:57,680
connection the plan would have worked perfectly if I had just put something

134
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,920
back I thought I could control it but it

135
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:03,519
slipped so I have to fix this now which

136
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:08,760
means the best solution we have on hand is Marine

137
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,640
epoxy claims to bond brass so I have

138
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:15,399
mixed it thoroughly for 1 minute I have actually done this before

139
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:21,800
with jbweld that radiator continued to work for years but I've never tried

140
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:24,000
using epoxy so here we

141
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:30,880
go this is how you can tell the difference in my videos between a

142
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:33,920
problem and a

143
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,720
problem that will go there for a bit

144
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:40,760
let's get the pump and res mounted we now return to you live from

145
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:48,000
problems lonus was expecting to have to solve okay so when we try and close the

146
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,240
lid we're going to see that there's a

147
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:55,959
bit of a bit of a bulge so to speak I can't have even that

148
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:03,959
little bit of play it's only about this much fortunately this mount for the pump

149
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,040
has a little bit of unnecessary

150
00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:12,720
thickness at the bottom that I think we can just remove we bought the sticky

151
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,639
kind when we need the velcro kind no

152
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,639
problem this is just a finer grit than I had wanted to use it'll just take a

153
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,639
little bit

154
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:30,639
longer I should have just mounted the radiator with double-sided

155
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:33,040
tape why did did I screw through it

156
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:35,519
anyway cart before the horse let's find out if it

157
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:42,399
fits perfect no bulge

158
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:48,680
whatsoever all right I was bound to be successful at

159
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:53,680
something not having a good day today

160
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:56,440
it's okay I always pull it off usually

161
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:05,240
oh man did you see those scissors Bend always pull back before trying to insert

162
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:05,240
yep I am never too mad to make a dick

163
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:12,959
joke maybe we should just call this video problems linet could solve easily

164
00:12:11,079 --> 00:12:18,720
if he had enough time to wait around for a 3D print job I need spacers I need

165
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:24,210
spacers for my screws so I found this old acrylic CPU block hold down and I'm

166
00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:26,040
cutting it up to get

167
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:33,279
holes these may be the jankiest

168
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,519
spacers of all

169
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:40,320
time oh shoot just call this video lonus

170
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:45,959
being grumpy for 20 minutes so as long as everything stays in place exactly

171
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:52,320
perfectly okay oh

172
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,519
sh the radiator is in making real

173
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,519
progress now we're getting

174
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:04,120
close here we are again a 3D printed Mount

175
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:10,240
would be a perfect solution for our Reservoir but

176
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:12,959
uh no time so it came to

177
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:20,040
me Minecraft boom brick boom Another Brick

178
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:27,079
oh yes wait is that too

179
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:28,780
high ah back to the drawing

180
00:13:27,079 --> 00:13:31,000
board D Minecraft

181
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:38,320
we'll use this Square hockey puck okay not my straightest

182
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,800
cut

183
00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:52,120
okay we have a big problem we are like

184
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:57,160
done it's time to power it up and this

185
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:59,519
this is how set our epoxy is clearly

186
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:04,440
that's not enough but possibly fractal design to the rescue fractal has

187
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:09,959
removable fittings from the components of their AO

188
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:17,399
but what I don't know yet is if they're using G1 qu threads if

189
00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:22,079
they are then I can just Swap this

190
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:24,759
Radiator in it is it is right it's right

191
00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:24,759
we have another

192
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:36,759
red love

193
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:41,680

194
00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:41,680
okay oh could that have been any

195
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:50,480
easier oh yes in there just fine we've

196
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,000
got our tubing run all our fittings are tightened so all that's left to do is

197
00:14:52,720 --> 00:15:01,120
throw in our network card throw in our graphics card wait what is this really

198
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:08,240
going to interfere with this oh come on now you vicious bastard

199
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:18,920
okay well this computer doesn't get 10 gbit networking

200
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:22,519
ssds and one tape it down and a two tape

201
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:25,600
it on top of the other one power for the

202
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:30,440
ssds one MOX connector over

203
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:32,519
here 24 pin power oh we're close now

204
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:38,279
baby we got to make sure everything here is nice and flat cuz this graphics card

205
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:41,639
does not have a lot of clearance

206
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:41,639
here and you

207
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:48,680

209
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:57,600
Truth okay so this is it it's finally

210
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:02,839
done the pump was dead to replace that

211
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:07,040
anyway the project is a success so our

212
00:16:02,839 --> 00:16:10,600
hottest core after about 20 minutes of

213
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:14,880
sitting running small ffts in IID to 64

214
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:18,920
is 60° which is pretty darn impressive

215
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:22,399
given how low profile this sucker

216
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,399
