the cooler master neptune 240m features an exclusive pump design and their new
celencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance click now to learn
more so the first step would be to
wash your rocks then i guess that's kind of always the first
step isn't it yup we both have to wash our rocks you cannot continue with this
without washing the rocks or else someone's going to complain and it's
just going to be bad yeah yeah here so are we sharing rocks
well in this situation where there's like two males and one computer i guess
we'll be sharing rocks so these are the rocks that we're
talking about of course it's good to rinse them because if you don't then you
might end up with some gunk in your mineral oil machine
spread that apart just stick two fingers in each side four
fingers
that's really hot water so
hot water on cold rocks is the way i like it
okay so now we're going to take the freshly cleaned rocks
and uh go ahead and put them outside to dry so
uh
wow it was it was sunny literally
an hour ago not even an hour ago like 15 minutes
yeah it's totally definitely not sunny vancouver
so we don't want to re-contaminate the rocks so we're just uh
that would suck washing out these bins well to be honest we are covering the
bottles with the beans and paper towel yeah but even then i don't want it
sorry but it's not gonna be that huge
how hundred percent dry do they need to be mr mineral oil cooled pcs well the
more water content in your computer the higher chance that there's going to be a problem but the thing is
already even just now it would probably be fine
normally you could just leave these out to dry for you know a couple days and it
would be fine but we're in a bit of a hurry
what i did um when i did mine was i just used a strainer so they were done drying
like almost immediately right and there's no real wait time but we don't
have a strainer at the office because why would we have a strainer at the office
i never know when you're gonna need your strainer son
so when i was doing mine um i cleaned all of my components with a mineral oil
bath it was in a container similar to this but much shorter and my reason for
that was all of my components were in a air-cooled system before they went into
a mineral cool system so they're all dusty and gross so one thing like this
cooler is we're gonna make sure we clean this now i'm not super worried about having it go through a mineral oil bath
the only reason why i did that for all my components was i was making sure that what they were going through wasn't
conductive as i was putting them in the system almost immediately afterwards so
we can clean this with water alcohol whatever as long as we make sure that
it's clean and dry before it goes in and then everything else is pretty much new isn't
it everything else is pretty much new but these these little fish things it
might not be a bad idea to clean them because they've been sitting on a shelf open right um for a really long time but
like these closed components are probably fine i don't think those would
be a big deal okay so tanks washed peg is washed these
i don't know there's so many little pieces and stuff i don't know what goes
in i know from looking at the picture that the big one will be above the
mineral oil yes the the backing some of
it will be submerged definitely the uh the support braces
these guys so those will definitely be okay well the first thing we need to do though is peel all the paper off these
and then assemble this bad boy because and then we can wash it after assembly
right yeah that should be fine okay the motherboard i o plate is actually
pretty nice got that brushed finished there the inside's nothing special but you
won't see that so yeah
kit's looking pretty good so far not sure what's up with
these there's more acrylic inside a bag inside a bag inside of a bag but
figure that out later oh dear so i realized looking at all these
pieces i don't know how they all go together and they went right
manual we haven't looked at it yet other than the front cover
so uh assembly instructions ooh
let's dust your hardware before something something
eck that none of the not allow the oil in everything okay
we're gonna have to open this dootang i think but um there we go wow there's a whole like
list of all the stuff that you get
including a thermal display oh yeah top out oh this is looking good okay this
shouldn't be too bad all right i guess we better get started then as there are
actually some very very important things no rubber so no wires that use rubber
insulation don't let the oil get above 50 degrees clean everything we did
manage to figure that out don't power the pump if it's running dry don't
overfill it don't over tighten screws use wireless devices when possible this
is really important oil will wick along cables that it comes into contact with
so that's that's pretty key and choose the correct type of CPU cooler we
actually haven't checked this but having it aligned vertically will help the oil
circulate through natural convection also there are evidently some things
that we will need so uh screwdriver got
it scissors got it wrench
got it okay so it starts with the
rear i o everything is handily color coordinated
in the instructions it's important not to over tighten the screws into the
acrylic because it will crack 100 so
this next step's a little bit funny because there's an unlabeled bag of
screws and then there's a an unlabeled
screw in the key everything else has little colored dots so so those do
correspond to each other so just put all four of these pieces
into place and then loosely attach them from the other side we're just showing
you where they go obviously when luke lifts this up
they're all gonna fall off thank you
you're welcome that's fantastic so brandon won't let us use our camera
anymore and insists on shooting everything in 4k so that's why the
sudden change in in quality for the better and no more of this no
more of this selfie nonsense so so here we go next step is to attach the
evidently wire handles wire handles these are some
are pretty intense wires they got some wire that's some wire right there got
going on okay so brown screws yep
i mean what what does this mean to you
put it into the brown put the yeah put the screws in the brown spot like it
makes sense
oh whoa hold on a second these aren't the same i didn't even realize that huh
okay we did a lot of uh extensive research
before undertaking this project yeah luke
luke hasn't built an oil cooled machine in years and has definitely never used
this kit and i've never done either of those things i haven't built a mineral
machine in like eight years
you got that i think so
assume the position oh i think i got it keep going
wow that sound oh geez that's how you know it's working
okay we're good so this is probably where the wrench comes in so this is oh
hello this is not what they had in mind i don't think but
our wrench is so big that we can actually clear the entire thing going
this way
so we need to clean the tubing that came with it because we left it out for a
long time and it got kind of gross and the idea was using a rod from one of the
soft boxes that we gonna use a rod but it's
but it's the the rod that we decided to
use was not long enough really are you sure yeah see i stuffed it in all the
way in color it still doesn't know that it's black right yeah so it's thick
enough so we're probably not going to have any other options
so our problem is we don't have a long enough rod we already tried the black one and then there's no other options
all right we've hit our first that's it that's it yeah so it's a different low
two different no label ones okay we should roll that so guys you want
the fine threaded one for your SSD
not the coarse threaded no label one for your SSD
this not this okay
do
so we're done part one at least we've constructed the case and Linus now has
mineral oil fever i think he now understands what it's like it's this is
really cool this kit's really cool uh the hardware we're using is really cool
we're going balls to the wall x99 1200
watt power supply gtx 780
we planned this a little while yeah evga provided us with the graphics card
before there were certain other graphics cards available but
yeah anyway uh so guys uh stay tuned for
parts two and three make sure you're subscribed like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a
comment letting us know if your feelings are more complicated than this and as always check out the link in
the video description you can give us a monthly contribution so we can spend it
all on things like oil we had to pay for our own oil which was actually like
pretty expensive uh you can buy a cool t-shirt like this one you can change
your amazon bookmarks one with our affiliate code so whenever you buy computer hardware oil whatever else the
case may be we got a small kickback and i think that pretty much wraps it up
thanks for watching and as always don't forget to see you guys next
time even knew the right one that time
but nope
you
