your","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":441.52,"end_s":447.759,"text":"memory chips then you had your cooler this guy right here would go like

ducted","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":449.52,"end_s":455.36,"text":"here in its shape so you have your stock pci cover right here and then they would","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":453.28,"end_s":460.639,"text":"give you a second vented one to install next to it effectively turning your

Jake i can't promise i won't put","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":503.039,"end_s":509.44,"text":"thermal paste on it it actually served multiple purposes these things were

that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":538.8,"end_s":546.959,"text":"theoretically will make it vibrate less i guess oh my gosh this thing feels

right i just bought out the remaining inventory of xpc a long dead pc store that hasn't even had a website for the last eight years so all of this stuff in here has been sitting around collecting dust in a warehouse for nearly a decade probably longer judging on the state of some of the packaging do you want to dig through it with me do you want me to tell you about our sponsor thanks to pulseway for sponsoring this video pulseway is an all-in-one platform management tool that can help protect your business from things like fishing and ransomware try for free today at the link in the video description there's four boxes yeah this whole skid is all stuff oh so we actually bought the entire like remaining stock this is a GPU water cooler but it's unlike anything you would find on the market today oh this is gonna be fun you knew some of the wildest stuff had to be from thermal tape right like what do these guys not make oh my gosh remember laptop expansion cards ladies and gentlemen you could add a whopping four usb 2 ports to your laptop nicole actually still has a laptop that takes card desk whoa this one's got usb 2 and firewire you want to ingest some footage mark at real time speed what is this pill this is a pill from buffalo you know the external hard drive guys okay i must know what the pill is 9.50 this is the medicine that your keyboard needs it's got a twist top fetch me a laptop ah yes now for a product demonstration yeah i don't think i'd pay 9.50 for this i got to do this thing thermaltake for the price of just 14.99 you could get the cyclo cooling memo oh cyclone cooling for oh man let me show you guys how we cooled our memory 2000 style these look like led fans i bet you a hundred dollars that they're blue they're so weak yeah the RGB memory under it makes these uh little pinner leds look super unimpressive surprisingly quiet for having been sitting for over a decade these guys i never understood it as an enthusiast i was like why do they exist why do you get to charge 12 for the world's most basic 80 millimeter fan even back then did i say 80 i meant 70 and that's the answer because star tech has one of basically everything hold on a second i recognize this packaging this was exactly the same color scheme and packaging that ncix used for its house brand n gear products these were the shiz though taking your floppy drive because like who needed one of those and turning it into a card reader get that sd mmc compact flash smart media memory stick man do you guys remember when sony had so much proprietary bullcrap me too because it was yesterday and also 20 years ago when tank series usb port equipment plug-and-play what even is it a usb to parallel cable so you can plug in your old printer oh i legitimately might need that for my lathe you need this take it removable fram for three and a half inch and two and a half inch HDD this is before my time holy crap you would use a five and a quarter inch bay so that's your optical drive bay you'd plug this chungus bad boy into it i mean that's why we had full towers that were this freaking big boy have we ever come a long way on these got your usbc two and a half inch drives got these little tiny mobile ssds you just off to the races but no this this is technology but at least you had security you know you got the lock on the front okay now we're getting into the real good stuff zalman has tried just about everything i think and this is their 5.1 channel headphone amplifier colin how much you want to bet that this still works 20 bucks okay that's too much too rich for my blood hold on a second this thing is crazy what no colin it is not in fact usb volume control interface between 5.1 channel headphones you can plug two users into it so you got your front rear and center slash subwoofer channels for both separate volume knobs who would have bought this and then you've got whatever your sources front left front right you know what colin i was wrong this would totally work not that you'd want to because it's really really stupid thanks digital surround look at this flow meter you want to know how fast your water's going what about this it stinks that's weird bye tv capture i remember tv tuner cards i really wish that this had been more of a thing it was because of resistance from the cable codes you guys know that right they wanted you to sit and watch the freaking ads ah these were fun okay so we've got both an ati silencer and an nv silencer for it and as you guys can probably guess these were for ati and NVIDIA cards respectively and these were freaking awesome arctic cooling man they were the shiz back in the day and this is not nearly old enough colin if this was your intention most graphics card back in the day were single slot and they would have these wimpy little coolers in fact in a lot of cases they wouldn't even be configured like this one where they're blowing air toward the back of the case they would just be sitting on the card right here chilling just blowing air around into your computer case and what that obviously affected was your CPU temps your motherboard temps everything else because even back then your GPU is one of the hottest running components in the system arctic cooling allowed you to put what is actually by modern standards a pretty decent looking cooler on your GPU after the fact that had multiple benefits better performance quieter and they had the added benefit of kicking all the heat out of your system so check this out you got your copper cold plate you've got cooling for your memory chips then you had your cooler this guy right here would go like this blowing air through these fins and then you can see it's actually kind of ducted here in its shape so you have your stock pci cover right here and then they would give you a second vented one to install next to it effectively turning your GPU into a modern style dual slot card so it would expel all the heat from your case through the back io panel and then this is the best part check this out okay we've seen coolers for the backs of graphics cards in fact a lot of coolers come with a backplate these days even this one comes with a back plate but this was back when they cared about freaking cooling on the back plate your card would be this thick oh no i love this this is amazing i remember these Jake you want to make the server go faster boys you got to put one of these on your hard drive oh i know what that is actually oh can i have one of the new server ones thanks Jake i can't promise i won't put thermal paste on it it actually served multiple purposes these things were kind of cool if you had like a a 10 000 RPM wd raptor drive or something like that basically you pop off the top and then you can see the inside is both heat synced and yet insulated why would that be you might ask they served two purposes one was anti-vibration so the only drives that needed a cooling enclosure like this were ones that spun at higher rpms high performance drives and they tend to vibrate more so you've got this thick foam padding right here that theoretically will make it vibrate less i guess oh my gosh this thing feels so chungus in here it totally doesn't fit and you know what maybe i have to drive in upside down hold on hold on yeah ide interfaces were at the bottom oh my god it still works tell me this doesn't feel like performance hard drive you can't it feels terrible shut up it does not i want a second opinion call in come touch my hard drive all right let's toss it in the pot just kidding just kidding just kidding just kidding should have seen the look on Jake's face here you go oh i forgot about this one oh my gosh okay so this is thermaltake doing what thermaltake does best ripping off someone else's product so you can see it's basically that arctic cooling cooler right except thermaltake added their own bizarro land spin to it and added water cooling to it so it actually does both it's like a hybrid air slash water cooler and there were a handful of these back in the day i actually reviewed one back when i was ghost writing for hardware canucks you managed to bring me every 8 800 card except the one that this fits this only goes on the gtx it's okay it's okay these coolers were actually kind of neat because they used air cooling for your memory and your vrms and all that good stuff and then they used water for the GPU itself do we have a screwdriver do you have a knife fix it kit handy the main benefit of this approach is that it allowed you to focus all of your radiator power right so all of your cooling capacity on the gp was what which is what really mattered for overclocking and it kept all of this heat from your your dram and your vrm's and all that good stuff out of your water so you can just dump that out of the system with air cooling and then use all of your radiator capacity to get the lowest possible temps on your GPU the only issue with that theory is that you bought a thermaltake water block so let's go ahead and open this up and we're gonna find what i'm expecting to be a very rudimentary block design holy is this just sealed we would have to cut it open what were these screws even oh they attached it to the heatsink how hard is it for us to cut open a copper thing like this just saw it in half the the bandsaw is pretty dead right now bandsaw is dead can we throw it in the middle and just uh sure awesome thanks colin while colin's working on getting us a look at that thermaltake block i want to show you guys something really special this is not actually from xpc this is from the electrician he dug it up somewhere i have no idea if CPU fan stops working CPU may become too hot new CPU fan must be installed if CPU fan is not working look the red light is on but but listen the alarm is heard the green light is on when CPU guard is on duty you guys ready for this whoa this thing is older than i thought i thought the pcb was black which would be an indicator of the age not only is it green it's this kind of green and as far as i can tell this board was manually assembled it was quite common for molex powered peripherals to have a y-splitter in the package and the idea was that a lot of power supplies didn't have extra molex connectors so if you wanted to plug in your CPU guard it's a little crusty you'd need another cable coming off of it so that you could plug in your optical drive or whatever else it was that was plugged into it originally the green light is on when CPU guard is on duty the system just shut down all i did was power this board am i gonna oh my god this is not turning on i don't know if we're gonna be taking another crack at CPU guard i was so excited to hear it look at the size of the speaker on it like this thing was gonna freaking go oh you know what i think there's a manufacturing defect there's a ball of solder in between these pins here hold on i bet if i pick that out it'll work it works okay it's really annoying one moment please okay okay i need a i need a crappy fan to absolutely destroy wire strippers and a sacrificial molex stay in there this is such a cheap housing it just falls right out okay where's that damn zellman fan then oh yeah oh yeah okay you guys ready you get oh it's sparking it was completely not grounded in any way even though there's a ground pin running right through it to the power supply how is that even possible okay look i'm not saying the CPU guard is the best product in the world i'm just saying that when your CPU fan stops red light CPU fan is not working oh it works i love it it's sort of the last thing i wanted to look at the inside of this thermaltake water block yes my friends that is basically a heatsink style like northbridge heatsink um style of fin construction this would be so restrictive because your flow comes in this side and then they don't even have like a a channel at the back like an open channel at the back for it to flow through and come out the other one it's not just cheap it's stupid how is how could you possibly design something this bad is there a flow through like that i'm not seeing here there isn't there's no path for the water to make its way to the other side this is just a solid wall of fin it would stop your water flow dead basically oh you know what it's probably the domed top yeah there's definitely an aircraft yeah but there were barely any places for the water to come out into the thing and that's why it had bad reviews yeah hey reviews the system works hey sponsors the system works for that too this video is brought to you by thanks squarespace for sponsoring this video we use squarespace like no joke we use it both our Linus mediagroup.com and ltx
