come on you can go faster than that can't you
so you've just got your brand new pc and
you want to do some overclocking but that like that tiny air cooler that you have is
just not doing it so you could get like a radiator a pump and
a reservoir but all that's pretty damn expensive so
what if you just buy the block and hook it up to your sink
well Linus said that's a bad idea but
he's on vacation so uh we're gonna do it let's do it yeah
madrina's coffee blends specialty cold brew coffees into 15-ounce grab-and-go
cans for your convenience check them out and use offer code Linus to save 40
40 at the link below so
first thing we need to do here is just get some baseline reading so what do we have in here Jake so this is a Intel
core i9 7900x we got a titan x p
uh not p but pascal same thing we got ax1500i which is super overkill but
really what we need to look at is the temperatures here so in the hottest core
we're looking at about 56 degrees this is at the stock clock
um so i guess should we overclock it first no let's wait until we get the
sink going right yeah let's just see how it performs compared to the sink and go
from there and that's what that 360 ml ek water blocks rad
oh oh that's my favorite technique
just give her a good blow some stamina here
jesus dude i don't think it's gonna seal very well does it even stick to this does it
matter though i bet you if we put a fitting on that
end of the tube it would be easier to like mate the two metal surfaces
together oh why did you let it go
all right let's get stuck in the sink i'm going to get another fitting this
guy what an amateur hey i got it we don't need Jake okay we're
just we're just doing it
yeah
we most certainly do oh geez
this is a bad idea i'm gonna go get some tuck tape because i don't think that
your tape is good enough dude what happened last time you used tuck tape is there video footage of that it's leaking
yeah it got dropped it was fine until we put it under
pressure it was fine until it like needed to work and then it didn't
i don't think they engineered this around being able to do this okay
so do you want to hold it and i'll tape it uh sure let's cut a piece off here
what are you taping now it's our return our return valve
prevent that perfect
cool hurricane
and i guess you you don't have to wait for this to get up to equilibrium either
right yeah there's no equilibrium the water's not re-circulating we're just at
it oh my gosh
so at idle we're sitting at about 14 degrees
four so just how you get sub-ambient you
remember that stuff it shouldn't go up it's gonna go up some like a bit like
i'm my guess is 38
average that's really good though oh my god okay so we're getting
hottest core as of right now is 40 degrees
which is what like 16 below what it was before yeah 56 i think was the hottest
core before how's it going it's good do you like your water cooling
what is it it's the best thing you've seen all day
coming out of the tap yeah yeah
what's wrong with that waste
well it's it's not too bad but look but look
at our temperatures our hottest core on the 7900x is 40
degrees that's not very many degrees
wow riley you're so insightful i guess this is the best way to watercool a pc
after all are you ready three
two one go you gotta keep it straight
okay so we're gonna have to measure rate from the bottom of the meniscus
here
and stop so that was
11.8 seconds we'll be um using 150 liters per hour
so let's i think before we overclock that we can
take this to the next extreme how is it going to get better than this
so we can't hook it up to the fridge well but you know what we can do with
the fridge we can just take yonder bucket of water
okay so i'm kind of missing but you get the idea
so yeah we've got this 22 submersible pump so the idea is
basically we have a bucket we fill it with ice
we put the pump into the bucket of ice
then sink goes to bucket goes to pump goes to
the thing goes back to thing drains into the sink
oh we want that we want that over here why what what what is with you and putting the water back in the thing
because we're going to have really cold water so you want to have the cold water kind of like
doing its thing in here yeah then we're just dumping hot water into the cold
like we're it's not going to get like above ambien
the time it goes through there all right fine and i don't think we can keep up
with the pump with this oh this is true is there a speed setting on there
all right so oh my god pump is getting plugged in
now is that pump supposed to be submerged yes oh wow dude that thing is kicking
water dude these lines are so cold already
we're going to kill the CPU for sure no this board is going to be done
so we're sitting at about oh subscribe
dude we have a finite amount of time before this but yeah we're looking at about three
three-ish degrees so it's still sub-ambient oh
no okay so it's 22 degrees in here
yeah our hottest core at the moment is 24 degrees so we aren't sub-ambient
we're damn close like we're doing better than we did with the chiller and so like
the total cost of this whole thing would be like
a cheap aliexpress block you can get those for like 15 to 20 bucks and then
22 dollars for the pump you could probably find a cheaper one
and we are a solid what 30 degrees slower we wrapped 56 before
more than 30 degrees lower than a triple rad from ek
five gigahertz baby
90 degrees oh my god wait what i think cinebench
just keeps crashing so
i think that we need more voltage we have 1.4 volts what do you mean we can't
do more voltage it's crashing and the answer to crashing is more voltage
i think we need Anthony uh hey Anthony we need you
we don't know how to overclock oh
you know how to overflow okay kinda yeah sure
yep we're gonna we're gonna leave this up to you okay
see that's that's what i was hoping that non-committal answer would prevent but
okay okay see you later enjoy buddy okay okay that's the thing all right so
let's go ida the voltage so sitting at max of 11
degrees at the moment our uh voltage is 1.375 and one point or two
point one five input uh hey it's working ah damn it
doesn't work it's crashing no it dropped down to one point oh actually
oh it does work hey look at this there we go so we got a little lower
voltage but we're basically
at similar temperatures to what we started with except we're at five
gigahertz now instead of 3.9
come on baby oh damn it
dude there's so much water on those tubes now oh yeah geez
we don't have much time oh 4.8 ah come on baby
oh you you can do it we're at 101 on one core
yeah so it's immediately overheating we're still at 4.8 baby
no we can drop the voltage to like 1.35 i guess i am concerned this is a
processor yeah it might just not be a very good overclocker
i'm just so disappointed yeah well sometimes you can't have nice things i
guess that's part of the story right you bought all the stuff you can't just go
return your CPU because well actually you can definitely do that because
amazon but you're not supposed to just return your
CPU because it doesn't overclock well so i guess we'll get to the best we can
get oh i had xmp on oh so
sweet do you think that would hurt it
yeah david oh
oh oh we're screen capping ah did i do it did i do it what did you
change i changed everything to auto
wait what's our wait wait go go back to our thing what is our
we're at 4.3
why did it what what
okay so well this is disappointing all right
4.8 baby it's uh how did this
that's how you overclock x299 so there's no way at all that this could be done
with just regular water cooling no was that like 4.4 maybe 4.5 this right
here is definitely like what you put in your forum post you're like yeah this so
it works then yeah if you just want to get another four or five hundred
megahertz to hopefully 500 6 000 yeah
maybe 60 88 yeah almost 6 100. i think we can push it a little further you
think we can go further i think we're at 93 degrees there
well i think i'll try to leave the voltage
another 100 megahertz i'm gonna give her i'm gonna give her
1.385 oh god it just turned off
uh uh
let's unplug it oh
maybe it was fine our last kick at the can if we can't do this then oh
oh holy oh it's doing it no it's not it's done no it's done
so it's conclusion time i guess if your goal is to just get the craziest
in a bench score craziest 3d mark
maybe plug it into a sync is the way to go yeah this worked surprisingly well like
and d lid yeah yeah because we absolutely destroyed the
triple rad and the whole thing cost like 50 bucks
and you could probably do it for cheaper yeah if you get an aquarium pump from
like a hardware store you could probably or used buy one used actually don't do
it yeah probably don't do you need to create a beautiful website without the hassle

the madness please nobody show Linus this
it's not dead though yeah it's wait is it still on
no the light is still on
god we should turn it off yeah we should really turn it off
