1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,839
it's been over a year since the last episode of sketchy heatsinks

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,840
this project was actually probably alex's worst at

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,920
the company it was over time over budget

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,800
and the end result was absolutely

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,960
abominable so i told him

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,600
we're not doing sketchy heat sinks again unless you can do a better job than this

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:31,279
which you might think is a reasonably low bar but then it took an entire year

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,680
to bring another concept to the table so you're already over time and over budget

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,560
but to your credit this does look

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:46,079
a lot more promising

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,239
private internet access encrypts your internet traffic and uses a safe

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,440
protected ip check it out today through the link below that was just not fair at

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,159
all but not fair at all what part of it was not fair first of all this is amazing it

14
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:07,200
cooled the processor great but anyway what was not fair about that is that i

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,640
just did not have the tools that i needed to properly do it

16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,840
you had a blank check to buy the tools you needed that's not an excuse okay

17
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:21,759
okay let's just yeah let's yeah let's just get to let's put the past in the past

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,560
all right so the plan for this one is we're actually going to put heat

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,600
pipes into aluminum and then have

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,759
actual aluminum fins so we're going to try to make a hyper 212 basically yeah

21
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,920
pretty much exactly it's like largely ripped off of them if you look at the

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:44,000
design here basically we're going to do is take one of these guys

23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,479
drill six holes directly down in then

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,079
we're going to stick the heat pipes in bend them at 90 degrees and they'll go

25
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:55,520
up through the fins which will have also six holes in them and are you gonna

26
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:57,280
solder the heat pipes to the aluminum or

27
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,439
um they're going to be thermal epoxied on you can't solder them

28
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,759
because like pipes will explode if you eat them the only

29
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:10,000
part that really sketches me out is bending the heat pipe

30
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,239
which hopefully will be done with this but i don't know if we'll get a full 90

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:20,400
degrees on it so if that doesn't work it's gonna have to sort of come out

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,239
at two angles like a v8 or a v6 i guess

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,720
that's going to make the holes through the fins a complete nightmare oh we'll

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,879
have like fins on either side we'll like cut them in half

35
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,959
and they'll like come out like this the first order of business was to see

36
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,840
how far we could bend the tubes we ordered 10 heat pipes so we only have

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,239
four chances to figure this out oh man this is

38
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:51,519
this is such a terrible bender oh my god authority just stuck on itself

39
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,360
oh this is about to get gross

40
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:57,840
out of the box the guide on the bender wasn't correctly aligned how is this

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:03,440
thing so balls so we needed to make up some of the slop to get consistent bends

42
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:05,440
so the working idea

43
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:10,239
to make this which goes the wrong way compared

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:15,120
to the tubing sizes line up correctly

45
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,920
is to just give her with the gaff tape

46
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,920
hopefully it'll work

47
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,930
i guess what you get for buying like a 20 thing

48
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:33,840
i think that'll work

49
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:36,959
will it fit

50
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,120
so we've got the clearance there uh

51
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:46,120
looks good

52
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840
yeah that one didn't quite work out

53
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:58,959
oh that one did not work out either those are both totally mangled

54
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,799
this one right here this one worked out

55
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:04,560
so we're going 45 degrees with the heat pipe angles decided it was

56
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:08,959
time to move on to creating the base that would sit on top of the CPU out of

57
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,200
aluminum stock we have a guide for the CPU block what we

58
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,919
really needed was a three and a half by three and a half inch square but it was

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,840
cheaper to buy four inch stock so the first order of business was to cut it

60
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:28,080
down then with our square cut down to the correct size we needed to drill the

61
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:31,440
holes for the heat pipes to go in huh

62
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,440
it's basically a milling machine

63
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,840
ah that's not gonna work

64
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,440
problem solved

65
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,479
perfect could not have been better

66
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,120
well it definitely could have been better but is this even going to hold this in place

67
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,160
oh yeah it should be fine i didn't want to like take the time to

68
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,360
measure all the holes so i just laser cut them captain should be fine everyone

69
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,960
this this one is fine that one this

70
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:11,759
is gonna go through there yep i don't think you have a plan

71
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,440
i i was just gonna eyeball it sweet about

72
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:19,680
thera look good no this way but that way that too hey look it's got a

73
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,680
laser

74
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,639
yeah it doesn't work well

75
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,240
if only we had a rubber mallet prepare for some lube to go everywhere

76
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,120
well i'm pretty sure you're not supposed to

77
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:44,080
apply that while it's spinning if only we had brushes here

78
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,199
you know i approve everything you want to buy

79
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:55,680
all you have to do is order it well we also literally have brushes so

80
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:55,680
i want to try it

81
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,450
i mean you wanted something to go wrong so now we can both get our wish yeah

82
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,660
that's lots

83
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:13,280
oh yeah you want that

84
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:18,240
this actually isn't as far off as i was expecting why are you expecting it to be

85
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,039
off gee i i don't know

86
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,240
wow these don't fit that tightly they fit tightly enough

87
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,280
some of them are tighter than others this one's pretty loose

88
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:35,840
how are you gonna get all that oil out of there i was planning on just kind of

89
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:35,840
cramming it full of thermal paste and uh

90
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,400
you can't just slap a block of aluminum on the CPU though since it will

91
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,400
interfere with the capacitors around the socket so this side with the holes i

92
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,639
don't want to destroy them so that's why i'm using the hacksaw for this

93
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:56,440
i can see this really quickly just turning into my angle grinding

94
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:49,520
with capacitor clearance cut and sharp edges removed with the sander and file

95
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,880
the block was looking like it might work it's drill pressing time again well i'll

96
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,960
have to let you do that yourself i have other pressing matters to attend to

97
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,120
all right bye no satisfaction it's excellent time

98
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,120
no no i'm still satisfied i don't need you to

99
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:09,680
get off to be satisfied oh it's so much more on the edge i love

100
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:13,639
it with more lube

101
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,520
perfect i love how proud you are such a great fit cool with our plan fully

102
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,879
worked out it was time to bend the rest of the heat pipes all right now we need

103
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:31,759
to do six of these

104
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,360
and i can make two errors during that

105
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:37,440
and i don't know if i'm capable of that really these are kind of finicky and

106
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:42,320
this tool sucks and i say

107
00:08:38,839 --> 00:08:44,159
that but i just made it look easy so

108
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,920
we have one left over we can tell Linus to do the last one and tell them that it

109
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,800
actually matters and see what happens

110
00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:00,080
nice well that was easy enough

111
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,160
the problem that we have to go over now

112
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,080
we have all of these sheets of aluminum yeah and they need to go on these

113
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,519
yes so we need to drill

114
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:12,880
these holes in these and we need to figure out a

115
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,760
good way to hold these got the clamps

116
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,240
yeah we seem to be on the same page here so do we want to do half of them like

117
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:26,240
that i don't know you're you claim to be the

118
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,080
expert that moved a fair bit while you were

119
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,800
putting it on i don't even know how much that's going

120
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:36,880
to affect the bit wandering

121
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,839
oh that moved so much

122
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,800
okay uh oh wow how are we gonna do this

123
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:51,240
professional this is where we find out if

124
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,240
this project's gonna be on time or not

125
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,320
yeah it cuts through these like butter

126
00:09:56,959 --> 00:10:02,800
not bad they are mostly in a straight line-ish

127
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,640
yeah i think so just some cleaning and prep was left until it was time to do a

128
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,640
test fit and make sure it would all go together all those clear that awesome

129
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:18,000
come on okay so about there

130
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,120
the fit surprisingly was pretty good although a couple needed to be trimmed

131
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,800
down so that we could get the maximum number of fins onto the heatsink

132
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:35,680
oh nice so we got this thermally conductive adhesive from mg chemicals

133
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:40,720
which hopefully when put between the fins and the heat pipes will

134
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:45,839
conduct most of the heat i don't know the thermal conductivity on it isn't

135
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:48,320
great but it's the best that we've got

136
00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:51,440
or that exists really this kind of looks like candy tuna i

137
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,640
don't think i'd recommend putting this on your sushi sushi

138
00:10:53,680 --> 00:11:01,360
sushi oh man that smells like tuna too our choice of medium cure time epoxy

139
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:05,440
means we'd have about 45 minutes to work with it before it cures first the heat

140
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,000
pipe holes in the block were filled with nth-1 thermal compound and then the

141
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:15,600
thermal epoxy was put on the end to hold them in place

142
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:17,600
suppose it's done i guess

143
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:23,040
oh my god these are like almost gone from here the heat pipes were covered in

144
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,360
thermal epoxy and the plan anyway was to

145
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,399
just jam the fins on i guess before i put the epoxy on i should have made sure

146
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:32,160
that all six heat pipes will go into this all right

147
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:36,160
to keep the fins from sticking together we resorted to some good old-fashioned

148
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:40,320
canadian engineering using pieces of a cut up tim hortons box to space them out

149
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:44,320
we repeated this process until we were out of fins so while you're off spending

150
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:49,360
company money on lunch actually that was personal lunch with

151
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,560
personal money same thing so i basically

152
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,480
finished it oh finished is a word

153
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:59,519
so don't move it too much it's still setting but i noticed that something i

154
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,440
hadn't really thought of until now uh all the heat pipes are together

155
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:07,040
which oh yeah probably isn't the most efficient way to do that no yeah it's

156
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,639
going to be like right here is where all the heat gets

157
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,920
dissipated and then this is all just worth it yeah like probably the

158
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:18,800
like outer inch or so is doing nothing

159
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:21,519
so aluminum here doesn't help us a whole lot it probably should have been copper

160
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,720
but it would have been way more difficult to machine and stuff you're

161
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,720
calling what you did machining

162
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:33,200
yes at this point all that was left to do was leave it to cure overnight and

163
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:38,160
gather some comparative benchmark data so we could determine just how good or

164
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,680
bad our creation really is it's really dumb that Windows doesn't automatically

165
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:44,720
restore connection to network drives all the time i mean far be it from us to

166
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,519
criticize other people's products at this moment

167
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:52,880
though we pay for their products though

168
00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:56,480
no one's buying this i paid for it uh you're getting paid for

169
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,040
it the total cost of this monstrosity

170
00:12:58,959 --> 00:13:07,360
was 107.38 which is canadian dollars so that's two

171
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:11,120
dollars less than an hd15 and let's find out how long it takes to

172
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:15,120
mount i guess now you've stolen some mounting hardware i see here this looks

173
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,399
like uh Noctua mounting hardware that's sort of cheating that's revised to

174
00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:23,760
everyone though so i think it's okay and it's the first one that wasn't mounted with zip ties so

175
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:29,440
it's a pretty big improvement what we're looking for so Intel stock

176
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,120
heatsink okay took 40 seconds to mount

177
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:36,560
okay the cooler master hyper 212 took 9 minutes

178
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:41,120
and 30 seconds okay so that's what we're looking to beat so we start the time

179
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,320
right now um sure this is kind of cheating because we're using two people

180
00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:47,360
but i think this thing needs every advantage it can get hold on no i don't

181
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:51,440
have to hold it from the bottom actually and of course this is going to be a hard

182
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:55,760
mount now not a spring mount because our block is so thick these

183
00:13:53,360 --> 00:14:00,160
aren't going to reach oh did you check you didn't check

184
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:05,760
i might still have an old school water block mount in my office this is

185
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:07,040
like training wheels off CPU mounting

186
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,880
we could probably go a little tighter but it's fine

187
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:15,519
no we're not going to use a blowy on this that's cheating well i figured that

188
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:20,959
if that doesn't work i think rubber bands is actually probably a better bet

189
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:24,079
yeah sure good enough all right it's 54

190
00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:26,959
seconds still being hyper 212

191
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:31,760
so the hyper 212 idles were like 30 40 degrees the Intel stock was

192
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:36,959
regularly getting up to 60. it's still 30 degrees it's not going up

193
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:40,639
yeah so do we hit it with a load it's kind of cheating to put like a 30

194
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:46,800
fan on it too i realized that but i just wasn't gonna mention it

195
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:51,199
like we definitely could have just like c and seed out the whole block

196
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,240
got the pipes professionally done it wouldn't even cost that much probably

197
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480
would have cost less than a drill press

198
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,920
there's no fun in this exactly that's why it's our job to do it wrong it's not

199
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:06,639
even warming up like our heat pipes with

200
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:10,959
their lesser bend may actually have some kind of

201
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:15,519
efficiency improvement in terms of their evaporation and condensation another

202
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,199
thing that we haven't really considered is that even though our heat pipes look

203
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:23,279
like they're the same diameter they might be like a high quality heat pipe

204
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:27,839
so we don't know if these are good heat pipes or not i would say that they are

205
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,839
they cost like 80 bucks

206
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,720
and you were just like ruining them all right hit me with the flear

207
00:15:32,959 --> 00:15:38,320
i want to see this first whoa it's really cool yeah the hottest

208
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:44,160
part is the fan hub yeah like if you look at the motherboard

209
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:50,639
i mean there's the coolest spot is our heatsink the base of our heatsink

210
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,959
is tops like 31 degrees as measured by

211
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:59,759
this you compare that to like this capacitor

212
00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:03,360
at 35 so CPU score is seven

213
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:05,040
like 73 26 73 26 how does that compare

214
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,079
we're right up there with the hype same as the hyper 212

215
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:12,000
i mean there's plenty of time for it to buckle under a sustained load i guess

216
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,399
oh okay so that jumped right up to 83

217
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,800
degrees on the hottest core so far still turboing huh

218
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:25,680
full turbo no throttle oh it's still climbing though 86 degrees yeah so our

219
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:29,680
victory there might have just been purely on mass alone so i have a

220
00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:36,639
solution to this what's that we call it a gaming heatsink

221
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:40,800
then when people say well you know under a sustained all-core load it actually

222
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:45,360
doesn't perform as well we say well it's designed for gaming so if we had spread

223
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:50,880
out our heat pipes more which we knew yeah was better that's why they design

224
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,320
it like this so that way that little area around the heat pipe

225
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:59,759
right in the path of the most optimal parts of the fan

226
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:03,759
is exactly right yeah and that's why it ends like a fingers width away from the

227
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,799
heat pipe because you're just nothing's happening if you have more

228
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:12,480
aluminum here all right so it hasn't thermal throttle though or it's thermal throttle but it

229
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:16,799
hasn't it has it doesn't it's not turboing anymore it's actually no you

230
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,280
know it's still above base clock 3.85

231
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:24,240
is above the base 3.7 clock speed of an 8700k

232
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:28,240
so do we declare victory

233
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:33,440
it's better than Intel stock it's worse than a hyper 212 so assuming

234
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:39,360
that you have a half a dozen heat pipes some blocks of aluminum and a bunch of

235
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,520
aluminum sheets a drill press some

236
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:45,840
thermal epoxy and a lot of time on your hands

237
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:49,760
you can conceivably have a better cooler than the Intel stock cooler that your

238
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:54,000
CPU shipped with this one didn't though by following this method mission

239
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:57,679
accomplished boys speaking of missions being accomplished

240
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:04,000
thermal takes mission when they were created the vue 71 snow was to make a

241
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:10,080
four-sided tempered glass case and they pulled it off it supports mini itx micro

242
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:12,640
atx atx and the atx motherboards it has

243
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:17,280
four tempered glass panels and a dual swing door it allows vertical mounting

244
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:21,600
options for two and a half slot GPU solutions so even massive graphics cards

245
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:26,559
with the riser cable sold separately it's got three-way radiator support so

246
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,440
top front or vertical and it includes

247
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:33,120
two of their ring 140 millimeter white led fans and you can check out the full

248
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:38,320
