got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":155.2,"end_s":161.12,"text":"is this worth prying off just to see the 120mm fan oh wow this one's coming off","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":159.04,"end_s":165.76,"text":"way easier why did i even need a tool before there it is 120 millimeter

would","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":234.799,"end_s":240.959,"text":"imagine and something's got to account for the tooling costs of creating

how","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":303.36,"end_s":310.0,"text":"this could conceivably work look at this you've got contact with the CPU right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.199,"end_s":314.32,"text":"here and it runs all the way over all three of these heat

see","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.639,"end_s":411.44,"text":"um a bit more of a permanent top seal because this is the sort

that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":423.36,"end_s":429.68,"text":"see this is why brands should send us products before release like the number","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":427.599,"end_s":434.4,"text":"of things like that that we could prevent they just sent it to us you know","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":432.16,"end_s":437.84,"text":"and the second to last revision like here's an example i might have told them","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":436.4,"end_s":443.28,"text":"well this would have to be at an earlier stage but i might have told them to put","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":440.24,"end_s":445.84,"text":"these on the back so that the tubes","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":443.28,"end_s":450.4,"text":"aren't sticking

you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":452.4,"end_s":458.639,"text":"just pull back here and the thing pops out","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":456.0,"end_s":464.479,"text":"wow this has a very engineering sample vibe to it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":461.12,"end_s":467.36,"text":"they literally just ca glued

gonna","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":474.08,"end_s":480.24,"text":"use it but jesus christ don't do that no i i believe that i will use it i will","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":479.039,"end_s":485.36,"text":"actually use it for a change i'm very offended that this is here by the way instead

that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":517.039,"end_s":522.399,"text":"i would not recommend filling it all the way because this vent here yeah you see","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":520.959,"end_s":527.68,"text":"that it's uh it stays open","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":525.12,"end_s":527.68,"text":"i am","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.32,"end_s":536.399,"text":"super confused right now there's no way it is

up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":555.2,"end_s":560.399,"text":"shut it up just shut up you know just shut up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":558.64,"end_s":564.56,"text":"with the complexity of this board in here it seems like it should be able to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":562.399,"end_s":569.2,"text":"handle fan control okay alex i'm doing it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":567.44,"end_s":572.959,"text":"here's what we're gonna do what what are you doing i'm controlling","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":570.88,"end_s":575.279,"text":"the fan speed and i'm controlling the

an average of 55 watts instead of the 45 that it was before that's cool","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":598.32,"end_s":605.279,"text":"how's our GPU doing GPU max of 66.9 so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":602.88,"end_s":612.0,"text":"that's way better yeah and it's been drawing 127","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":608.56,"end_s":614.079,"text":"looks like 100 average 125. so about the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":612.0,"end_s":619.839,"text":"same although that's probably just power limited","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":615.6,"end_s":621.92,"text":"well i just um so let down right now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":619.839,"end_s":625.12,"text":"it sounds broken it really does sound broken i think it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":623.519,"end_s":630.839,"text":"must have just broken yeah it might be broken so i have confirmed that it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":627.92,"end_s":635.519,"text":"broken and should not sound like that cool uh but that doesn't account

it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":637.36,"end_s":644.56,"text":"works great like look at this yes this is wonderful","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":642.16,"end_s":649.519,"text":"it's a lot better it's a lot a lot like look at

cool","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":654.399,"end_s":659.6,"text":"looks like it's helping out the CPU the

for sure yeah","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":665.92,"end_s":674.56,"text":"that's awesome like 58 degrees massive drop in GPU temps and

this ordinary looking brown box here is the electronics liquid propulsion package or pp as i like to call it it's a water cooling add-on that can apparently drop a laptop's temperatures by 20 degrees but i'm gonna have to see that to believe it i'm seeing it i'm still not sure if i believe it but i believe i'm gonna tell you about our sponsor thanks to case to five for sponsoring this video case defy's new impact and ultra impact cases offer drop protection come in tons of designs and even have an antimicrobial coating go to castify.com LTT to save 15 on your order now this is not the first time a laptop has been water cooled and it's not even the first time we've seen a water cooled laptop the ASUS gx800 had this massive dock to keep its dual gtx 1080s from freaking desoldering themselves and we have actually water cooled the alienware area 51m twice incredibly it survived sort of sort of what's different about the electronics lpp is that the price isn't super out there compared to a normal laptop wow it's really light actually kind of feels cheap the water cooler is only 200 although yeah that's not that cheap but it's a lot better than the 5 000 premium that ASUS charge for the gx800 i guess and the script just says yolo vlog here so i guess this is where we install it and there's really not much to it hey can i open it uh not yet no i want to open it though it looks like there's clips oh it definitely has nasty plastic clips on it so far i have broken zero of the clips almost zero of the clips so look at that we've got some anti-vibration foam around the pump we've got a 120 millimeter radiator we've got a reservoir that is actually very thoughtfully designed and implemented it's right above the pump so it's always getting even if it evaporated a bunch of the water away it's always going to be getting the freshest least bubbly water you've got a little window on the front where you can monitor your coolant level that's really convenient and then over on the other side you've got is this worth prying off just to see the 120mm fan oh wow this one's coming off way easier why did i even need a tool before there it is 120 millimeter fan and a little control board that's going to be distributing power to our pump and our fan and then just got a single dc input at the back there probably 12 volt if i had to guess you just take the laptop power plug it in the back and pass it through it passes through power to the laptop how the f does that work oh i see so it just like siphons off some of the power being passed through this just thing that just is sticking out here yeah i've seen dumber things in terms of coolant routing everything's like smart they have someone there that is sensible and like knows water cooling like even just little things right like having the fittings up at the top that's going to allow the air to bleed out of it much more easily so you've got it coming in this way coming up here going through the radiator and then coming out to the top of the reservoir that's going to create very little turbulence which is going to create very few bubbles in the res to be sucked back into the pump i like it i mean this could be the world's cheapest crappiest pump for all i know but at least the layout of the loop is thoughtful i don't know if 200 is what i would want to pay for aio tier hardware but something to consider is that this is going to be a pretty low volume product i would imagine and something's got to account for the tooling costs of creating these plastic molds huh look at that that did it say whatever you want about the cooling solution though the SSD in here looks pretty good gen 4x4 samsung SSD what else we got shake in here this looks like 32 gigs of ddr4 wait is this ddr5 oh cool 4 800. oh uh are we even allowed to like talk about this hardware yet because this would be 12th gen then yes 12th gen oh oh there's a node in here important this is pre-production hardware and the CPU and GPU are under embargo we can show temps and power draw nothing else or NVIDIA and Intel we'll light a big bag of poo on fire and leave it on our front doorstep read you loud and clear now that i'm done getting distracted by the shinies let's turn our attention to the star of the show the integrated water cooling the aluminum heatsinks are enough to effectively cool the laptop but what i'm imagining is that when you add the water cooling system the fans won't have to work as hard which should theoretically make it quieter and your internal temps should get lower i mean i i think i can see how this could conceivably work look at this you've got contact with the CPU right here and it runs all the way over all three of these heat pipes and comes over to the GPU and then even runs over the area where your video memory and your vrms probably are unless the brm's over here and then comes out back across the CPU and out it goes electronics what do they claim 20 degrees improvement wow now to be clear that's not enough that you could just run it on water cooling like these tubes are very secondary compared to the heat pipes that make up the air cooling system it's just that the biggest challenge in a laptop is how little space you have to work with so the heat sinks are always crazy small and the fans are crazy inefficient because they have to be these super low profile fans this takes that and ideally solves both of those problems nice big radiator nice big fan is that the tai can yeah hey i recognized the car yeah it's even the color we had yeah like the exact one that i drove looks better in person well it didn't take us long to thermal throttle it already detected thermal throttling so that's cool we reached a maximum of 88 degrees on the CPU how's our GPU doing 82.3 GPU power 130 watt alex has already run more scientific versions of these benchmarks but i just want to experience it oh well that was easy that really that's the seal okay i have one more bit of advice for the engineers at electronics i would like to see um a bit more of a permanent top seal because this is the sort of thing that if left unattended a little sibling or a pet could easily knock over and if the water did in fact come out it could easily make its way to being sucked into the fans of your laptop i don't like that see this is why brands should send us products before release like the number of things like that that we could prevent they just sent it to us you know and the second to last revision like here's an example i might have told them well this would have to be at an earlier stage but i might have told them to put these on the back so that the tubes aren't sticking out the front this end appears to be just a quick connect so oh look at that that's actually kind of awesome then you just pull back here and the thing pops out wow this has a very engineering sample vibe to it they literally just ca glued two different diameters of tubing together to make this filler for it i mean for me i only live once so i'm not gonna use it but jesus christ don't do that no i i believe that i will use it i will actually use it for a change i'm very offended that this is here by the way instead of an lttstore.com water bottle great water bottles keep your drinks cool and you even cooler yeah this would be not the greatest job in the world i feel like i'd get better at it though hey lions can you game now no no i have to fill up my oh i think i finished filling it all right i'm gonna try to power it on you ready okay there's some unfortunate news though the laptop is crazy quiet but this thing is freaking loud okay let's see if we can solve that i would not recommend filling it all the way because this vent here yeah you see that it's uh it stays open i am super confused right now there's no way it is supposed to be this loud okay so we can monitor the fan but can we control the fan not that i can see what a letdown i am so disappointed right now shut up you know just shut up shut up shut it up just shut up you know just shut up with the complexity of this board in here it seems like it should be able to handle fan control okay alex i'm doing it here's what we're gonna do what what are you doing i'm controlling the fan speed and i'm controlling the pump i'm getting them both at a reasonable level are you seriously changing game settings right now while i have my thumb freaking burning on a fan okay so let's see CPU hit a maximum of 80 degrees although it seems like it was drawing what an average of 55 watts instead of the 45 that it was before that's cool how's our GPU doing GPU max of 66.9 so that's way better yeah and it's been drawing 127 looks like 100 average 125. so about the same although that's probably just power limited well i just um so let down right now it sounds broken it really does sound broken i think it must have just broken yeah it might be broken so i have confirmed that it is broken and should not sound like that cool uh but that doesn't account for that it has no speed control what is working though it works great like look at this yes this is wonderful it's a lot better it's a lot a lot like look at this sustained hundred watts on the CPU was like 50 before yeah it's a massive difference that's pretty cool looks like it's helping out the CPU the most well i'm guessing the GPU temps are way lower oh for sure yeah that's awesome like 58 degrees massive drop in GPU temps and literally doubled your CPU power like not bad just has to work not a perfect product but when it works boy is this
