1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,359
laptops have a problem they're hot loud and kind of slow which is more like

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:13,519
three problems but today we are gonna solve all of them at once in this

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:21,039
ordinary looking brown box here is the electronics liquid propulsion package or

4
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:27,840
pp as i like to call it it's a water cooling add-on that can apparently drop

5
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:30,000
a laptop's temperatures by 20 degrees

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,000
but i'm gonna have to see that to believe it i'm seeing it

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,440
i'm still not sure if i believe it but i believe i'm gonna tell you about

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,520
our sponsor thanks to case to five for sponsoring this video case defy's new

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,280
impact and ultra impact cases offer drop protection come in tons of designs and

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:51,640
even have an antimicrobial coating go to castify.com LTT to save 15 on your order

11
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:03,840
now this is not the first time a laptop has been water cooled and it's not even

12
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:10,400
the first time we've seen a water cooled laptop the ASUS gx800 had this massive

13
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,799
dock to keep its dual gtx 1080s from

14
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,240
freaking desoldering themselves and we have actually water cooled the alienware

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,159
area 51m twice incredibly it survived sort of sort of

16
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,720
what's different about the electronics lpp is that the price

17
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:31,119
isn't super out there compared to a normal laptop wow it's really light

18
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:36,400
actually kind of feels cheap the water cooler is only 200

19
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:41,600
although yeah that's not that cheap but it's a lot better than the 5 000 premium

20
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,119
that ASUS charge for the gx800 i guess and the script just says yolo vlog here

21
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,920
so i guess this is where we install it and

22
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:55,680
there's really not much to it hey can i open it uh not yet no

23
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:56,960
i want to open it though it looks like

24
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,159
there's clips oh it definitely has

25
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:04,399
nasty plastic clips on it so far i have

26
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:07,280
broken zero of the clips almost zero of the clips

27
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,360
so look at that we've got some anti-vibration foam around the pump

28
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,200
we've got a 120 millimeter radiator we've got a reservoir that is actually

29
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,000
very thoughtfully designed and implemented it's right above the pump so

30
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,040
it's always getting even if it evaporated a bunch of the water away

31
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:28,879
it's always going to be getting the freshest least bubbly water

32
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,200
you've got a little window on the front where you can monitor your coolant level

33
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,800
that's really convenient and then over on the other side you've got

34
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,120
is this worth prying off just to see the 120mm fan oh wow this one's coming off

35
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,760
way easier why did i even need a tool before there it is 120 millimeter fan

36
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,800
and a little control board that's going to be distributing power to our pump and

37
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,480
our fan and then just got a single dc input at the back there probably 12 volt

38
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,760
if i had to guess you just take the laptop power plug it in the back and

39
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:04,480
pass it through it passes through power to the laptop

40
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:07,519
how the f does that work oh i see

41
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,519
so it just like siphons off some of the

42
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:14,400
power being passed through this just thing that just is sticking out here

43
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:18,959
yeah i've seen dumber things in terms of coolant routing everything's like smart

44
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,400
they have someone there that is sensible and like knows water cooling like even

45
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,920
just little things right like having the fittings up at the top that's going to

46
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:29,840
allow the air to bleed out of it much more easily so you've got it coming in

47
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,400
this way coming up here going through the radiator and then coming out to the

48
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,920
top of the reservoir that's going to create very little turbulence which is

49
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:39,840
going to create very few bubbles in the res to be sucked back into the pump

50
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:43,040
i like it i mean this could be the world's cheapest crappiest pump for all

51
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,400
i know but at least the layout of the loop is thoughtful i don't know if 200 is what i

52
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,879
would want to pay for aio tier hardware but something to

53
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,959
consider is that this is going to be a pretty low volume product i would

54
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,959
imagine and something's got to account for the tooling costs of creating these

55
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,480
plastic molds huh look at that that did it say

56
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:11,200
whatever you want about the cooling solution though the SSD in here looks pretty good gen 4x4 samsung SSD

57
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:17,919
what else we got shake in here this looks like 32 gigs of ddr4

58
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,239
wait is this ddr5 oh cool

59
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:24,000
4 800. oh uh are we even allowed to like talk

60
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,120
about this hardware yet because this would be 12th gen then yes 12th gen

61
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,160
oh oh there's a node in here important this is pre-production

62
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:35,840
hardware and the CPU and GPU are under embargo we can show temps and power draw

63
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:40,320
nothing else or NVIDIA and Intel we'll light a big bag of poo on fire and leave

64
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:43,280
it on our front doorstep read you loud and clear now that i'm done getting

65
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,520
distracted by the shinies let's turn our attention to the star of the show the

66
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:52,400
integrated water cooling the aluminum heatsinks are enough to effectively cool

67
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,800
the laptop but what i'm imagining is that when you add the water cooling

68
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:01,040
system the fans won't have to work as hard which should theoretically make it

69
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:05,280
quieter and your internal temps should get lower i mean i i think i can see how

70
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,000
this could conceivably work look at this you've got contact with the CPU right

71
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:14,320
here and it runs all the way over all three of these heat pipes

72
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:19,520
and comes over to the GPU and then even runs over the area where your video

73
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,160
memory and your vrms probably are unless

74
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:27,120
the brm's over here and then comes out back across the CPU and out it goes

75
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:29,759
electronics what do they claim 20 degrees improvement

76
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:35,759
wow now to be clear that's not enough that you could just run it on water cooling

77
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,039
like these tubes are very secondary compared to the heat pipes that make up

78
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,880
the air cooling system it's just that the biggest challenge in a laptop is how

79
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,520
little space you have to work with so the heat sinks are always crazy small

80
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:52,800
and the fans are crazy inefficient because they have to be these super low

81
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,960
profile fans this takes that and ideally

82
00:05:52,800 --> 00:06:00,000
solves both of those problems nice big radiator nice big fan is that the tai

83
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:04,319
can yeah hey i recognized the car yeah it's even the color we had yeah like the

84
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:07,319
exact one that i drove looks better in person

85
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,600
well it didn't take us long to thermal throttle it already detected thermal

86
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,440
throttling so that's cool we reached a maximum of 88 degrees on

87
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:28,400
the CPU how's our GPU doing 82.3

88
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:29,919
GPU power 130 watt alex has already run

89
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,080
more scientific versions of these benchmarks but i just want to experience

90
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:39,600
it oh well that was easy

91
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,759
that really that's the seal okay i have

92
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:47,360
one more bit of advice for the engineers at electronics i would like to see

93
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:51,440
um a bit more of a permanent top seal because this is the sort of

94
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:57,600
thing that if left unattended a little sibling or a pet could easily knock over

95
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:01,280
and if the water did in fact come out it could easily make its way

96
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:04,960
to being sucked into the fans of your laptop i don't like that

97
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,680
see this is why brands should send us products before release like the number

98
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:14,400
of things like that that we could prevent they just sent it to us you know

99
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,840
and the second to last revision like here's an example i might have told them

100
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,280
well this would have to be at an earlier stage but i might have told them to put

101
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,840
these on the back so that the tubes

102
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:30,400
aren't sticking out the front this end appears to be just a quick connect so

103
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,919
oh look at that that's actually kind of awesome then you

104
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,639
just pull back here and the thing pops out

105
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,479
wow this has a very engineering sample vibe to it

106
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:47,360
they literally just ca glued two

107
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:51,440
different diameters of tubing together to make this filler

108
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:56,639
for it i mean for me i only live once so i'm not gonna

109
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,240
use it but jesus christ don't do that no i i believe that i will use it i will

110
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:05,360
actually use it for a change i'm very offended that this is here by the way instead of

111
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:10,599
an lttstore.com water bottle great water bottles keep your drinks cool and you

112
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,599
even cooler

113
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,479
yeah this would be not the greatest job in the world

114
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:19,680
i feel like i'd get better at it though hey lions can you game now

115
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,919
no no i have to fill up my oh i think i

116
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,400
finished filling it all right i'm gonna try to power it on you ready okay

117
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,800
there's some unfortunate news though the laptop is crazy quiet

118
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,560
but this thing is freaking loud okay let's see if we can solve that

119
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,399
i would not recommend filling it all the way because this vent here yeah you see

120
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:47,680
that it's uh it stays open

121
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,680
i am

122
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:56,399
super confused right now there's no way it is supposed

123
00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:03,040
to be this loud okay so we can monitor the fan but can we control the fan

124
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:06,000
not that i can see what a letdown

125
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,279
i am so disappointed right now shut up

126
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:17,279
you know just shut up shut up

127
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,399
shut it up just shut up you know just shut up

128
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,560
with the complexity of this board in here it seems like it should be able to

129
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:29,200
handle fan control okay alex i'm doing it

130
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,959
here's what we're gonna do what what are you doing i'm controlling

131
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,279
the fan speed and i'm controlling the pump

132
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:40,320
i'm getting them both at a reasonable level are you seriously changing game

133
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:45,600
settings right now while i have my thumb freaking burning on a fan

134
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:50,720
okay so let's see CPU hit a maximum of 80 degrees

135
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:55,519
although it seems like it was drawing

136
00:09:52,959 --> 00:10:02,880
what an average of 55 watts instead of the 45 that it was before that's cool

137
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:05,279
how's our GPU doing GPU max of 66.9 so

138
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:12,000
that's way better yeah and it's been drawing 127

139
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:14,079
looks like 100 average 125. so about the

140
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,839
same although that's probably just power limited

141
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,920
well i just um so let down right now

142
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:25,120
it sounds broken it really does sound broken i think it

143
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:30,839
must have just broken yeah it might be broken so i have confirmed that it is

144
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:35,519
broken and should not sound like that cool uh but that doesn't account for

145
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:39,600
that it has no speed control what is working though it

146
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:44,560
works great like look at this yes this is wonderful

147
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:49,519
it's a lot better it's a lot a lot like look at this

148
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:53,200
sustained hundred watts on the CPU was like 50 before

149
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,079
yeah it's a massive difference that's pretty cool

150
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:59,600
looks like it's helping out the CPU the most

151
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:02,640
well i'm guessing the GPU temps are way lower

152
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,880
oh for sure yeah

153
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:14,560
that's awesome like 58 degrees massive drop in GPU temps and literally

154
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:20,000
doubled your CPU power like not bad just has to work

155
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:22,480
not a perfect product but when it works

156
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,640
boy is this ever a fast laptop that gets even faster when you hook it up to the

157
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:33,200
