00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.960
karen's graphics card was running at like 100 degrees idle while water cooled

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.559
but the water still has to run through this

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:15.839
graphics card and see how terrible it is can you see the floater right there

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.640
it moves around if you tip the card

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:23.680
the metal touched my skin but the problem that i have right now is

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.000
the plan was to just remove the graphics card from the loop put another graphics

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.760
card in there and then have the loop go through this non-powered graphics card

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.000
which would hopefully not add any temperature to the loop and then it would be fine but i don't even want to

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:39.800
run this computer on the full loop if it's this gunked up

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:51.760
Corsair delivers real mech or oh here i have one huh real mac or nothing with

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.800

key switches click on manchin to learn

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.920
more i'm gonna move my chin now just a three for a loop

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.920
at last my friends it is finally

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.400
finally here the conclusion of the whole

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:15.520
room water cooling system series of videos that we have waited

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:18.479
over a year since initially putting

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:23.680
these systems together to finally talk about whether or not the concept worked

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.920
whether or not in practice it actually worked and the wait is over only a

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:31.840
couple more minutes it kind of reminds me of that uh that bmw video that i was

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:35.200
teasing on social media not that long ago about the all-new one series drop a

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.439
like on the bottom of the video if you want to see us finally release that because i think we're very close

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.640
let's go so i want to do a recap of the concept for those who haven't been

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:50.000
following along the whole time our editing den is in a south-facing room of

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:55.119
the house that we have been running Linus media group out of for the last

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.159
year and a half and it gets

00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:59.600
friggin hot in here so my brilliant idea was

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.119
what if we took all of our editing workstations and removed the heat from

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.880
the room via water cooling so it started

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:11.200
with redoing our editing workstations which used to be just a haphazard mix of

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.360
parts that we had left over from reviews and are now pretty much all standardized

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:19.840
so they've got n600 cases from cooler master water cooling by swift tech and

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.959
i'll explain why there's a radiator on the outside of the system in spite of

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:27.599
the whole room water cooling i'll explain that later

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:31.760
we've got 4960x six core processors those are extreme editions 32 gigs of

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:38.000
kingston memory ASUS x99 deluxe motherboards gtx titan blacks so those

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.680
are six gig vram cards we've also got cooler master v750 power supplies and

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.720
all of them except exiles which actually has two of these a quadro a 10 gigabit

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.280
nick and then a v 1200 because uh his system is kind of balls to the wall and

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:56.560
then each system has its own pump as well so the way that it all works is

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:00.720
that at the back we've got kind of a a tangle of of tubing going on here so

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:05.680
we've got quick release fittings here so we can either

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:11.200
connect to the radiator on the top which is running quite toasty right now or

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:16.879
to the whole room system and this was actually all done up by luke's dad who

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.680
did an amazing job of plumbing the

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:25.920
entire room for us so you can see the terminus station is actually over here

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:30.799
by nick van berkel's pc so every one of these systems has an inlet and then an

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:35.200
outlet and they all join together as you go around the room we actually left

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:41.280
enough space to have up to seven systems water cooled all at the same

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.319
time all on the same loop and in the

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.360
bathroom server room this is where the magic

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:53.599
happens so here's our mechanical and then uh uv sterilizing filters here is

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:59.120
our reservoir here are our dual little giant pumps and then those lead to a

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:05.840
radiator fan setup using Noctua industrial ppc fans so those waterproof

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.239
dust proof ones on the roof of the house

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:13.760
so that we are actually physically removing the heat from the building in

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:18.079
order to keep our systems cool we've got a cover on there we've got a power

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:22.240
supply for all of the fans to run as well

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:24.639
so with that recapped how does it

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.800
perform so to evaluate our success there's a number of different metrics to

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:34.479
look at we can look at the cooling performance of the individual systems

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:39.840
based on how hot their cpus run during an intensive task like video rendering

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:45.360
we can look at the room temperature inside versus the temperature outside to

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:51.120
see if removing the heat from the room actually yielded any kind of benefit and

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:56.560
we can look at the convenience and maintenance factors so let's start with

00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:00.240
CPU temperatures when we're running the

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.880
cpus on their own radiators the room

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:07.120
reaches a temperature of about 31 degrees so you can actually see that

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.280
right now which is about a three degree difference between the inside and the

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.680
outside and you should bear in mind that that's on a day that's not particularly

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:20.639
sunny which can cause the room to heat up quite a bit more than the computers

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.160
could possibly affect all the systems

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.120
and the sort of 45 degree plus range on

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.919
the CPU which is reasonable except for terrans which i'll talk more about later

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:37.600
and edsels which has an additional graphics card but no additional radiator

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:42.400
space for cooling so that one's bound to run a little bit on the hotter side so

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:46.560
now what we're gonna do is we are going to take the running whole room system

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:51.600
i'll show you guys how we quickly connect and disconnect them

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:56.000
so while they're running probably not recommended but we've done it so many

00:05:53.520 --> 00:06:00.400
times anyway that it i've lost all fear of the process

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:05.440
all we do is use these to hook it up

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.840
to the whole room system now

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:16.800
what you are likely to see here is a nearly instantaneous drop

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:22.000
in CPU temperatures so we've gone from 47 on core 1 to 41

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:27.280
and i'll make some graphs here showing you guys the difference in CPU temps

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:31.440
under load from system to system to dramatically reduce temperatures across

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.960
the board by hooking up to the whole room system why does that work well it's just a

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:42.560
matter of radiator capacity we could just as easily achieve great CPU

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:46.560
temperatures by hooking up much much larger radiators as you'll see in some

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.199
very large towers this will support like quad rads in the front duals in the top

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:56.000
a single in the back and the like another advantage of this approach by

00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.400
having it outside is that you don't end up with a chain reaction of the room

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.080
temperature increasing and therefore the cooling efficiency of your radiator

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.840
increasing because you're always tied to ambient temperatures but

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:12.000
that's a great question if one of the objectives was to lower the ambient

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:16.400
temperature in the room with this system how much have you achieved the answer is

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:21.520
not a heck of a lot we achieved a one degree drop by hooking all of these

00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:26.960
systems up which i would consider within the sort of margin of error the sort of

00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:32.160
a vague sort of concept so being able to align this correctly helps a lot

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:37.280
on our inlet so that's the cold side we're getting 29.7 degrees

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.599
and on our outlet that's the hot side

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:46.240
we are getting 30.0 degrees which i'm sure someone out

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:50.479
there is calculating the specific heat of this you know mass of water or

00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:54.319
whatever the case may be and i'm sure that we are actually dissipating a

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:59.039
significant amount of the heat outside but that is where the whole

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:03.360
was it actually practical thing comes into play because by going with copper

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:08.400
tubing which i think we can all agree is more aesthetically pleasing than

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:12.960
insulated pvc we actually created a situation where we are dissipating a

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:16.960
significant amount of the heat we're pulling out of each system

00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:24.319
into the room anyway anyway via the copper piping

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:26.960
so i guess all that's really left now is

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:32.000
do we consider the project a success the answer is no um i still think the

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.839
concept could have worked really well but there were a few critical things

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:42.719
that i really think we could have done differently number one don't use a metal

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:44.959
reservoir don't use a metal reservoir

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:49.760
find some kind of plastic reservoir to use because that's where the thing that

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:55.600
i promised to talk about later comes in terran system has some big problems

00:08:52.640 --> 00:09:01.040
caused by corrosion bits stuck in his system that even cleaning out his CPU

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:06.880
block which was extremely gunked up that was a picture i posted on instagram

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:09.040
could not fix and um

00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:13.200
point number two is i would definitely recommend installing some kind of a

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.040
bleed system at the highest point in the loop that way you are not going to have

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:21.519
as much difficulty filling the system each time uh compared to

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:25.519
us where we had to add a second pump in order to have enough flow rate and

00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:30.560
enough pressure in order to get the water in and the air out of our tubing

00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:35.839
system uh the other thing that i would do differently next time is um

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:38.399
wow gee i guess that ties into a question that we've been asked a lot

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:41.680
aren't you guys moving why did you bother with all of this and are you

00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.920
gonna do whole room water cooling at the new place well number one we weren't

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:49.519
planning to move when we originally came up with this concept and started working

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:55.519
on it so there's that uh number two no we do not

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:59.040
intend to water cool our systems let alone whole room water cool our systems

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:03.360
at the new office we're gonna have air conditioning which is probably the

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:09.360
solution that we should have gone with in the first place if the objective was

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:13.120
to lower the temperature in this room

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.839
and have our computers run cooler

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:20.880
so i think that's pretty much it thank you guys for sticking with us throughout the

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:26.160
whole room water cooling project we learned a lot i think we established the

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:32.880
feasibility of it the performance and the silence factor cannot be denied but

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:38.160
the convenience factor of it leaves a lot to be desired and the

00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:43.600
the execution of it would be extraordinarily time consuming and even

00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:47.920
more expensive than what we did if you were to really do it properly in such a

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:51.760
way that it would require little or zero maintenance over the long

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.160
run thanks for watching guys uh if you
