00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.359
laptops have a problem they're hot loud and kind of slow which is more like

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:13.519
three problems but today we are gonna solve all of them at once in this

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:21.039
ordinary looking brown box here is the electronics liquid propulsion package or

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

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.000
a laptop's temperatures by 20 degrees

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.000
but i'm gonna have to see that to believe it i'm seeing it

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

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.520
our sponsor thanks to case to five for sponsoring this video case defy's new

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.280
impact and ultra impact cases offer drop protection come in tons of designs and

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:51.640
even have an antimicrobial coating go to castify.com LTT to save 15 on your order

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

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:10.400
the first time we've seen a water cooled laptop the ASUS gx800 had this massive

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.799
dock to keep its dual gtx 1080s from

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.240
freaking desoldering themselves and we have actually water cooled the alienware

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:22.159
area 51m twice incredibly it survived sort of sort of

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:26.720
what's different about the electronics lpp is that the price

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:31.119
isn't super out there compared to a normal laptop wow it's really light

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:36.400
actually kind of feels cheap the water cooler is only 200

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

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.119
that ASUS charge for the gx800 i guess and the script just says yolo vlog here

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.920
so i guess this is where we install it and

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:55.680
there's really not much to it hey can i open it uh not yet no

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:56.960
i want to open it though it looks like

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.159
there's clips oh it definitely has

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:04.399
nasty plastic clips on it so far i have

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.280
broken zero of the clips almost zero of the clips

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:13.360
so look at that we've got some anti-vibration foam around the pump

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.200
we've got a 120 millimeter radiator we've got a reservoir that is actually

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:22.000
very thoughtfully designed and implemented it's right above the pump so

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.040
it's always getting even if it evaporated a bunch of the water away

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.879
it's always going to be getting the freshest least bubbly water

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.200
you've got a little window on the front where you can monitor your coolant level

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:36.800
that's really convenient and then over on the other side you've got

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

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:45.760
way easier why did i even need a tool before there it is 120 millimeter fan

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.800
and a little control board that's going to be distributing power to our pump and

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

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

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:04.480
pass it through it passes through power to the laptop

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.519
how the f does that work oh i see

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:09.519
so it just like siphons off some of the

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:14.400
power being passed through this just thing that just is sticking out here

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:18.959
yeah i've seen dumber things in terms of coolant routing everything's like smart

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:22.400
they have someone there that is sensible and like knows water cooling like even

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.920
just little things right like having the fittings up at the top that's going to

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

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.400
this way coming up here going through the radiator and then coming out to the

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.920
top of the reservoir that's going to create very little turbulence which is

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:39.840
going to create very few bubbles in the res to be sucked back into the pump

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:43.040
i like it i mean this could be the world's cheapest crappiest pump for all

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

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.879
would want to pay for aio tier hardware but something to

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.959
consider is that this is going to be a pretty low volume product i would

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:00.959
imagine and something's got to account for the tooling costs of creating these

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.480
plastic molds huh look at that that did it say

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

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:17.919
what else we got shake in here this looks like 32 gigs of ddr4

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.239
wait is this ddr5 oh cool

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:24.000
4 800. oh uh are we even allowed to like talk

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.120
about this hardware yet because this would be 12th gen then yes 12th gen

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:32.160
oh oh there's a node in here important this is pre-production

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:35.840
hardware and the CPU and GPU are under embargo we can show temps and power draw

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

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:43.280
it on our front doorstep read you loud and clear now that i'm done getting

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.520
distracted by the shinies let's turn our attention to the star of the show the

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:52.400
integrated water cooling the aluminum heatsinks are enough to effectively cool

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.800
the laptop but what i'm imagining is that when you add the water cooling

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:01.040
system the fans won't have to work as hard which should theoretically make it

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

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:10.000
this could conceivably work look at this you've got contact with the CPU right

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:14.320
here and it runs all the way over all three of these heat pipes

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:19.520
and comes over to the GPU and then even runs over the area where your video

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.160
memory and your vrms probably are unless

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

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:29.759
electronics what do they claim 20 degrees improvement

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

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:39.039
like these tubes are very secondary compared to the heat pipes that make up

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:42.880
the air cooling system it's just that the biggest challenge in a laptop is how

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.520
little space you have to work with so the heat sinks are always crazy small

00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:52.800
and the fans are crazy inefficient because they have to be these super low

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.960
profile fans this takes that and ideally

00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:00.000
solves both of those problems nice big radiator nice big fan is that the tai

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

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:07.319
exact one that i drove looks better in person

00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:17.600
well it didn't take us long to thermal throttle it already detected thermal

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.440
throttling so that's cool we reached a maximum of 88 degrees on

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:28.400
the CPU how's our GPU doing 82.3

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.919
GPU power 130 watt alex has already run

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:34.080
more scientific versions of these benchmarks but i just want to experience

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:39.600
it oh well that was easy

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.759
that really that's the seal okay i have

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:47.360
one more bit of advice for the engineers at electronics i would like to see

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.440
um a bit more of a permanent top seal because this is the sort of

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:57.600
thing that if left unattended a little sibling or a pet could easily knock over

00:06:55.280 --> 00:07:01.280
and if the water did in fact come out it could easily make its way

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:04.960
to being sucked into the fans of your laptop i don't like that

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.680
see this is why brands should send us products before release like the number

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:14.400
of things like that that we could prevent they just sent it to us you know

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.840
and the second to last revision like here's an example i might have told them

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

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.840
these on the back so that the tubes

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:30.400
aren't sticking out the front this end appears to be just a quick connect so

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.919
oh look at that that's actually kind of awesome then you

00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:38.639
just pull back here and the thing pops out

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:44.479
wow this has a very engineering sample vibe to it

00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:47.360
they literally just ca glued two

00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:51.440
different diameters of tubing together to make this filler

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:56.639
for it i mean for me i only live once so i'm not gonna

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

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

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:10.599
an lttstore.com water bottle great water bottles keep your drinks cool and you

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.599
even cooler

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:16.479
yeah this would be not the greatest job in the world

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:19.680
i feel like i'd get better at it though hey lions can you game now

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:23.919
no no i have to fill up my oh i think i

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:28.400
finished filling it all right i'm gonna try to power it on you ready okay

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:34.800
there's some unfortunate news though the laptop is crazy quiet

00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:38.560
but this thing is freaking loud okay let's see if we can solve that

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:42.399
i would not recommend filling it all the way because this vent here yeah you see

00:08:40.959 --> 00:08:47.680
that it's uh it stays open

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.680
i am

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:56.399
super confused right now there's no way it is supposed

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

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:06.000
not that i can see what a letdown

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:13.279
i am so disappointed right now shut up

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:17.279
you know just shut up shut up

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.399
shut it up just shut up you know just shut up

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:24.560
with the complexity of this board in here it seems like it should be able to

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:29.200
handle fan control okay alex i'm doing it

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:32.959
here's what we're gonna do what what are you doing i'm controlling

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:35.279
the fan speed and i'm controlling the pump

00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:40.320
i'm getting them both at a reasonable level are you seriously changing game

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:45.600
settings right now while i have my thumb freaking burning on a fan

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:50.720
okay so let's see CPU hit a maximum of 80 degrees

00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:55.519
although it seems like it was drawing

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

00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.279
how's our GPU doing GPU max of 66.9 so

00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:12.000
that's way better yeah and it's been drawing 127

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:14.079
looks like 100 average 125. so about the

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:19.839
same although that's probably just power limited

00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:21.920
well i just um so let down right now

00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:25.120
it sounds broken it really does sound broken i think it

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:30.839
must have just broken yeah it might be broken so i have confirmed that it is

00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:35.519
broken and should not sound like that cool uh but that doesn't account for

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:39.600
that it has no speed control what is working though it

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:44.560
works great like look at this yes this is wonderful

00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:49.519
it's a lot better it's a lot a lot like look at this

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:53.200
sustained hundred watts on the CPU was like 50 before

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:56.079
yeah it's a massive difference that's pretty cool

00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.600
looks like it's helping out the CPU the most

00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:02.640
well i'm guessing the GPU temps are way lower

00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:04.880
oh for sure yeah

00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:14.560
that's awesome like 58 degrees massive drop in GPU temps and literally

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:20.000
doubled your CPU power like not bad just has to work

00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:22.480
not a perfect product but when it works

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
