i told you this would be horrible oh god
i can't even tell what any of this is
hopefully whatever is in here is durable
that's right ladies and gentlemen we are gonna water cool a whole gaming pc using
nothing but parts from wish.com do you want to know how much all this literal
garbage costs oh i don't know over 1300
it's the second most expensive pc i've ever built
what is this you're laughing but it's not funny
unlike my segway to our sponsor nzxt
wants to make building a custom pc easier with nzxt build just set a budget
see how the computer performs in your favorite games and build takes care of
the rest use the link below to get your own custom pc today and it'll probably
be better than this one it will
even ignoring the outrageous prices there were three main problems with
trying to water cool from wish.com first was shipping it took two months to the
day for all these parts to arrive and actually that's problem number two not
all of them did three of the items we ordered never made it and we ended up
having to cancel them fortunately sort of alex ended up ordering extra
thank you alex so we should have enough to build a system
finally even finding water cooling components on
wish.com was extremely difficult their seo is terrible you search for something
as descriptive as g1 quarter fitting and
you end up with clothing actually no matter what you search for
it's mostly thongs bongs and
that's just wrongs that's a good line can you tell he's a professional writer
thank you and that's pretty much everything that was written the rest is
just a list of all the random crap we ordered well do you want to just see
like the kind of crap that comes up good video prep alex
thank you is that a wearable breasts yeah so this
is a search for g1 quarter fittings which is very descriptive and in the
name of the fittings that we got like i don't know what all of this does
and like why is there just a high pressure fuel pump for a sonata
why is this here just one left to order now alex
it's almost definitely not there i don't even know how you found any water cooler
it was very difficult there's not a single water cooling thing
so far yeah none but there's a massage gun that one's actually not a bad deal
assuming it works oh is that a tube
no but yes it was really difficult to find
this stuff okay where do we start do you even know
what's inside these boxes yeah i do uh the case is where we should start
that's the case yeah the wk 500
schematic happy mining
and keep believing believe god
yeah so finding water cooling compatible cases was very difficult
so we ended up with a mining rig yeah because this i know you can just like
zip tie the stuff to and it should be fine our other option was like a define seven
for 500 bucks but i just didn't want to do that how much should i pay for this
mining rig uh 105 plus 16 in shipping i've had
worse yeah are there any instructions yeah this is
the schematic so i'm pretty sure all the pieces are
here 10 screws to put it together i think it's pretty easy i got it snugged
up over here look how far off this is oh my god it's not close this is clearly
like cnc machined how did they even
do it that bad i'm gonna snug that baby
in there oh yeah repaired
oh yeah not bad okay with this next part you're
going to see kind of the vision for this so this right here is our radiator oh
that i like it's rad yep 480.
it should be copper this might actually not be a bad deal so this was 78 dollars
plus 16 in shipping oh my god though
it's very crooked but it flat on the table you can probably see saw it
now that i've got the main pieces screwed into the tolerance is actually
seeing not bad um what you could do is
you could mount the fans first which would give us an opportunity to open up
this cool moon r4 RGB fan pack hell yeah
i gotta say i don't really know what to expect here alex hydraulic bearings
wow hydraulics i'm actually pretty disappointed
our first fans that we were supposed to get got cancelled oh really but they
were what did they make an off-color joke no they were RGB
they were RGB but there was just a green a red and a blue fan in there
oh these appear to be actual RGB they come with a remote and everything
i got uh some fan filters i'm taken way
back to the early days of pc modding
uv blue freaking acrylic fan filters are
you kidding me wow this is just bits power yeah so they
covered the upc this may actually be a genuine bits
power fan grill but from like 10 years ago yeah
crazy and it's just been sitting as dead stock
in a warehouse all this time and now i have it
great the weirdest thing about these is that they were called
bits power cooled pc fitting personal computer water reservoir sled tube
compression rotary screw adapter extender expansion parts i found them
when i was looking for fittings i paid 26 each alex yes why did you order so
many the thumbnail oh god
oh wow this paper is so old
oh my god it comes off in tiny pieces alex
also this uv blue acrylic seems to have
lost a lot of its blue with age
so we're going to be using our shunt modded 3090 i chose this card because
one i don't want to potentially screw up another 3090 and two i made a custom vga
mounting bracket for this because i assume that even though our
GPU block says it's universal it's probably not going to fit oh wait how
are we going to plug in the i o for the graphics card if you're planning to
mount it here and have the radiator here that's a good question because on a
mining rig they don't have io well shoot
so the reason we're using matx uh it's the board that i grabbed off the shelf
not really okay fair enough i have a terrible idea that might fix all of our
problems instead of you know mounting it right
here we could just mount it
right here the i o comes out and then we have a
nice way for our tubes to come back around to our water cooling stuff it's
genius actually thank you i mean it's still got like
six hole screws into the radiator that ought to be more than enough for
anyone yeah you only like two or three i don't know what's worse the fact that
you think that's a good solution or the fact that i agree
if you push down it looks like one of these screws is lining up
okay yeah there's a temperature readout built into
our water block this is from freezemod.com
RGB full color remote control components
that's pretty cool if it works at all that was uh 73 dollars ah that's not the
dumbest thing i've ever heard oh right we're gonna need thermal compound now
we've got the biggest tuba thermal compound i think i've ever
seen but hey at least it's high stability and reliability apply to CPU
vga led chipset and other pc components
i'm gonna put this all over my leds and my pc components here also it says it
has an excellent thermal conductivity of
3.05 watts per meter kelvin that's better than
some thermal pads
it's very watery oh
hold on maybe thermal paste
okay that's really gross yeah
should be fine this is the GPU block that we got now
the listing says perfectly fit the GPU
carry away more heat from GPU quickly yeah that sounds good oh that doesn't
fit yeah it's not even close to fitting i'm not surprised unfortunately we do
have a backup plan
well i already made one of these for our other video to mount a vga cooler to
this card so we're just repurposing it cool meanwhile i'm trying to mount the CPU
block and it comes with these like gnarly metal washers
you don't secure the back plate at all you just plonk the block on and then the
back plate is secured by just screwing it into it oh so you could just like
destroy your CPU by titling it down too much uh yeah you could you could you
could mangle your board you could mingle your board with this for sure yeah
nice i love that we went trident z royal by
the way oh you've got to also i see that you uh started looking
at our fittings yeah they're terrible they're terrible and we don't have
enough why don't we have enough uh because wish is a terrible sight so i
ordered 20 and they only charged us for
five and we only got five
right but i took a screenshot of the cart and we without a doubt
had twenty selected why five why would they come in past
five so i did bring over fittings from our
warehouse but like if you tried to water cool from wish you'd just be screwed
what size are these i think they're the same as the tubing i
haven't double checked it yet though okay because both the tubing and the
fittings said underneath note it can be
plus minus three centimeters
which means they can throw literally anything in because this is what 10 millimeters across
yeah one okay you could literally end up with
a fitting this big oh my gosh
and i would say that could come down to translation but like s-i measurements
are sort of a thing internationally not my finest cable management here
it's pretty not amazing
yeah i don't know i mean that kind of works right
oh we have new cable ties on LTT Store lots of different colors and they come
in 50 packs now for the same price as 20 of the old ones and they're the exact
same quality we do kind of have to figure out what we're going to do about
the GPU no you have to figure out what we're going to do about the GPU i am
going to keep opening wish water cooling components
what the hell did you order it was ac yes
what well you know we have our uv reactive
fan grills we need to be able to have some color what makes you think these
are uv it said they are it just says
purple on the packaging no uv
ir or radiation image what i specifically bought these because they
were uv lights oh my god
what am i even looking at here wait what
is happening right now so this
because these have to be dc so
oh what the hell so yeah you just go ac
straight into this this says uv
they work it does work they're definitely
uv okay okay and my uv blue acrylic here is
definitely uv blue awesome problems that aren't so easy to solve
our GPU cooling yeah so you keep trying to drag me back
into this gum first of all i bought this
back plate which says specifically that it's 3080 and 3090 compatible oh yeah
it's a lot smaller than i thought it would be uh-huh
these are a lot bigger than i thought
so i thought that these were going to be memory chip coolers that's what they
were called they are not that
at least there's only 20 bucks plus 10 shipping i mean that'll keep something
cool yeah i think we can cool the back of our GPU
with those we had some people helpfully point out that this thermal shmu what's it called
again k5 pro k5 pro is only really
suitable for like up to a certain thickness
but realistically what other choice do we have here ladies and gentlemen well
we could also scrape most of this off
get some thick thermal pads put them on here i am a little bit concerned about
this shorting on these caps that are here these appear to be covered in
silicone though oh is that dielectric grease yeah it's not electric grease oh
okay how are we going to get this shmu off i found that a guitar pick and patience
works not too bad
oh this project is horrible yeah that's
literally the first thing i said in this video Linus i don't know what's worse
the fact that i've removed this much thermal goop or the fact that there's still this much
on the card like if i just went toothbrush alcohol
bath on this with that alcohol doesn't do anything i tried
really yeah oh
our memory chip heatsinks are a little bit too big so i'm just gonna make them
touch smaller
perfect in other news i'm making great progress
on removing the k5 pro not bad it turns out if you add a little
bit of friction and heat it kind of flakes away so this toothbrush is
removing it actually really well now we can see if alcohol does anything
because we've got little enough k5 on there that
it might actually make a difference
oh yeah it helps so you wanted to talk back plate mounting
yeah so i'm thinking back plate can just get zip tied on
these are the screws that mount our block and i feel like that they are
higher oh i forgot about this you need to screw them in
oh wow these are threaded they aren't threaded it's just like the
same size oh i see well they're threaded now yeah
the head of this is a little bit higher than the memory chips yeah so we do need
thermal pads on here just bring it up a bit and i think you can just zip tie
this down it'll be fine we could also just screw
straight through this and hard mount it i love it probably break
that and break that and break this no no with the thermal pads
thermal pads okay yeah we got a plan let's mark it
mark me daddy well it's really soft copper
not that that really matters but
normally don't get holes quite that deep
there it is you don't you dare
you get that out of here now
which way do you want our cool moon fans blowing into the red yeah probably okay
oh oh oh fan grills yep i did think that
those came with uh mesh oh they don't
they don't no it's going to involve bending the
radiator and the fans a bit
but it's on one problem i observed with the uh
mid-2000s aesthetic is that we're not going to be getting a
lot of it oh i didn't even notice that yet
oh come on and also how much airflow is
actually getting through this fan here this one
it's gonna be fine ah you get almost all of your airflow like right uh that's
yeah it's blocking the wall yeah it's blocking a lot oh sick
you got one of those double helix reservoirs that's awesome how much did i
pay for this originally i actually had a helix one that was RGB that i was super
stoked on oh that's cool but they canceled it you know i bought one of
these from the original guy on xtreme systems even did tubes down the middle
so you could actually have your uv uh like cathode down the middle of the
helix and i had a frosted i had a frosted blue acrylic double helix it was
super cool that was 30 plus 16 in shipping
wow that's not bad yeah so actually i was thinking maybe like here or here
we could go sideways it's not the best for bleeding air out
of the loop i was also really tempted to just buy a bong and use that as the
reservoir because there's just so many more of them
that moment when you expense a bung to work
we're going for it we're going top mount i don't care if it's going to bleed
worse watch this you're going to love my nuts
what's better than a double helix reservoir a double helix reservoir on stilts
hell yeah i still haven't found a pump
oh god is this it
so it comes with suction cups for mounting because it's obviously an
aquarium pump but then they include one of these double-sided foam jobbies as
though the suction cups are gonna oh it does stick to it
that's pretty impressive i wasn't expecting that me neither
touchewish.com touche
i'm kind of thinking i want this flow meter
like right attached to the reservoir what do
you think of that sure that looks sweet right
alex this is absolutely crapped here too
it's so stiff including shipping it was thirty dollars a roll thirty dollars a
roll you know when Yvonne hounds me about waste
from the writing department i defend you people that's fine it doesn't matter
oh oh i pinched my boob what
what the back end oh
boy did that ever hurt that's a nice clean cut though
poor alex has been working over on the other side of the table i have almost
taken it out multiple times here's a nice little pro water cooling tip
if you have a choice with your radiator on your side you want the inlet to be at
the bottom because that way the water will push the air
out the top makes bleeding a lot faster
wow that motherboard is bowed eight air that probably over tightened the CPU
block check it out
oh yeah jeez have you given any updates uh
on the GPU lately we're almost done heck yeah and it goes this way other way it
looks kind of sick yeah the other side looks pretty sick as
well functional oh hey okay sure
oh my god not a fan of what you're doing right now
it's not like threaded threaded why do people even watch this
it's cause you can't look away isn't it
there's a good chance we need to put in our fittings before this gets attached i also just realized that this is
really small at 90 degrees for some reason so we might
yeah this is a big die
we don't necessarily want that mounted at a
diagonal like that seeing like it's like that
with that in mind i guess this is what we want in terms of
tubes coming off sure everything outlined in gold has got to
go aluminum dust is very bad for you so
if you are going to grind it first of all make sure that you have a grinding
wheel that's okay for aluminum or it might explode you know put on a face shield put on a
mask it's a huge pain in the butt but we're going to do it
you know what the funny part is is in my bag of tricks i already had solutions to
all these problems low profile memory sinks
ones i had actually bent from tubes getting in the way before many years ago
but we have to use these so this is what we ended up with
oh what what we haven't put on our RGB tube sleeving
oh my god that's a cooler master product that's not even
yeah wish stuff well on wish they didn't say it was
cooler master but it is it might be because if they told you
that it was cooler master it would be really easy to go and just buy it
somewhere else for way cheaper yeah
so on amazon.com it's sixty dollars
on wish.com it was 95. oh
really actually we didn't pay for this
oh really we saw it on wish and we were like cooler master already sent us this
it's really stupid just buy it again thanks alex
for the rest of this project you were entirely merciless so it wouldn't have
surprised me if you had bought it
yeah that's really dumb it is really dumb brandon
i mean we don't even know if this is non-conductive
actually it actually looks like poo
that GPU is definitely just like kill me please but we won't do it because it's a 30 90.
now after our shunt mod video for this 3090 people were like oh yeah it's a lot
of tech tips they can just get a 39 whenever they want we also can't get
them yeah we got a couple new editors they took our last ones uh we haven't
been able to get a 30-90 for quite a while there's a shortage ladies and
gentlemen it's real confirmed
okay holy this is awful wish.com
this is there's your thumbnail
oh it's clean i was hoping that one work yeah right
this is a moment in computing history the way that i see it it truly is i
thought we had reached peak meme build
but this proves it we weren't even close this is next level
this is the lord of the memes two more things oh this um
oh my god uh i don't know like there or something
could work hey what about you get it leak testing
and i'll use twenty dollars of vhb tape to attach it
how we doing so far here buds okay well one thing what about we move my laptop
away from where you're spilling oh yeah your laptop could move
okay not gonna lie that flow meter is kind of cool
look at it go i don't know that i would add four more
points of failure to my loop over it but like it's pretty it's pretty cool
these fans out front i don't even know if we need the uv
i know right that looks amazing i haven't even seen
this yet it's like a party and every color in the
rainbow's invited oh she works
the operation was a success 32 gigabytes of RAM
do we have our ss nice
oh my god also cpus at 24 degrees
it's pretty good well it's got a quad rat on it right yeah this is awesome
i am i'm just jazzed right now system's working great but before that i
just want to talk about this guy for a second so to combine these together they
gave us this yeah i showed the camera that earlier
yeah it's terrifying and it made me think um it's to combine them it's to
combine them that's so stupid so look at
this it's not ac is it is it ac there's 120 volts ac just right
here just just exposed if you stuck your pinky in there you'd be electrocuted
just are you just right there serious mate
so my solution for mounting these is uh
putting a straight in the garbage that's terrifying well the e-waste bin we're
gonna take it out of there and put it in our e-waste bin but yes
wow just has exposed as freaking ac just
right there 120 volt that is unbelievable
and then that's why it comes with these so you can
frickin just freaking they're not plugged in
okay so you could just twist them together yeah
geniuses tynan from engineering creator warehouse
who was that i didn't think it was that bad unreal okay but the rest of the
system the rest of it's great is sick right
so i ran time spy and temps are awesome so GPU core 63
degrees max frickin memory did get up to 100 degrees yeah
but that's acceptable it goes up to 120 like who cares yeah CPU max temperature
80 degrees and you doubted the memory cooling solution it's 100 degrees it's
not great it's it's fine
that's so awesome sorry what our CPU you end up at 80
degrees 4.9 gigahertz all cores
that's not bad at all yeah this is like actually acceptable yeah i mean
it costs too much we could have spent half as much to get better performance
but i could have spent a tenth on aliexpress for basically the same thing
minor details minor details alex oh and we do have control of the RGB on
the fans it's ir also fan speed's on there which is also
ir for some reason oh okay but at least
it has and the music works so put it on like music really i guess i could sing
my own song hi i am singing this is flashing with my
beats i i'll never walk
on the streets late at night because i'm small and people could mug me
but they don't bug me i what are you doing
it's doing something yes definitely doing something confirmed
how did this compare to a typical 30 90 score so is it actually adequately
cooled with the shunt mod yeah average score 18 oh so we're
actually in like really good shape then like thousand points higher than this
typically would be pretty good
just like our sponsor MSI's mag z690 series is a great fit for
your 12th gen Intel processor there's both the torpedo which supports ddr5
memory and the tomahawk which supports ddr4 both motherboards have an extended
heatsink design with an m.2 thermal solution for their quad m.2 connectors
and feature pci express gen 5 to get the most out of future m.2 ssds as well as
future graphics cards they've both got wi-fi and two and a half gig lan and you
can learn more about the tomahawk and torpedo MSI z690 series motherboards at
