1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,879
when I was a kid this is all it took to cool a computer then came this this and

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,000
finally oh my goodness Intel succumbed

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:13,920
to Madness and gave us the 13900 k a CPU that cannot be tamed by

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:19,199
any cooler challenge accepted While most

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,519
people would think it's pretty stupid to spend more on your cooling system than

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:29,359
you did on your computer most people are not these guys between the two of us

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:35,200
we've built not one not two but four separate water chillers and this one is

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:39,879
bigger than all of them combined meet

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,160
the chill apocalypse a 5,000 watt Beast

10
00:00:39,879 --> 00:00:45,879
that was designed to cool industrial lasers this is one of our rare

11
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:50,160
opportunities to use purpose-built equipment instead of just janking it

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,520
with stuff that we get from Princess Auto so we are going to be getting into

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,480
the meat of how this thing works and of course we'll be hooking it up to Intel's

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:05,479
latest compact furnace unit to see if even this is enough we'll laugh we'll

15
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,720
cry we might even uh leak some coolant on the floor if you know what I mean and

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,880
we'll also tell you about our sponsor build Redux looking to level up your

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,920
gaming experience build Redux is here to help they'll create a custom gaming PC

18
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:21,799
that is tailored to the specs you set out while offering competitive pricing

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,759
compared to building your own follow the link below and start building your dream

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,000
gaming rig today while I could have paid

21
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:33,680
$15,000 to an industrial equipment supplier for this thermoflex 5000 the

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,360
story of how we got our hands on this Chiller is actually a lot more

23
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:42,119
interesting than that it comes from John an integration engineer and absolute

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,920
Legend who works in a large industrial plant this Chiller actually spent

25
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:50,960
several years cooling a 5,000 WT fiber laser until recently it started throwing

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,960
up errors except that after they replaced it with a new one a kink was

27
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:01,320
found in the hose meaning this one was actually totally fine the whole time but

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:06,280
it was cheaper to just leave the new one in service and scrap this boy so our

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,119
hero John took it home to use on a CNC machine except the plan didn't work out

30
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:14,760
so he gave it to us so we could torture some computers huge thanks John because

31
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,239
there's absolutely no way we would have bought one of these things new let's

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:25,040
take a closer look at this baby and talk about some speeds and feeds shall we

33
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:28,879
W look at that that's

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,000
fun first up it runs on 208 volt power

35
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,720
so we need Alex's sketchy cord no not

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,400
the sketchy cord fine bring the sketchy cord and while there are multiple ways

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,720
to chill water below ambient temperature we've used evaporative cooling pelta

38
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:49,400
Cooling in the past the most efficient is of course phase change so down here

39
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:54,120
we find a large compressor as well as a condenser unit with a fan on it yeah I

40
00:02:51,800 --> 00:03:02,400
know right look at the size of this condenser um and then for the cold side

41
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,040
I guess the evaporator is over here

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:10,959
embedded in the water tank that is a smaller water tank than I expected yeah

43
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,840
there's a lot of not much in here yeah I

44
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:18,040
sort of thought like they boast temperature control of just .1 de

45
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:22,319
Celsius which is super important for lasers where a two degree difference can

46
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,959
cause visible banding during an etch but in order to achieve that I kind of

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,280
thought that they would have a very large Reservoir so that they wouldn't

48
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:33,920
have to cycle the compressor all that often but if this had a 5,000 watt load

49
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:38,400
in it with just that much water I kind of feel like it would be oh you know

50
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:43,040
what I bet it's one of those more efficient variable compressors like you

51
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:47,720
find on Modern AC units at the cost of course that would make sense this is not

52
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:55,040
okay I can't believe you still have this he just made a completely non-regulation

53
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:57,560
cord that goes from this to this and

54
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,879
just has this tape on it and then we're just using a standard PC power short I

55
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,319
hate everything about this however they do it it seems to be taken care of by

56
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:10,360
the controller Hardware in here where we also find power distribution everything

57
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,200
we've seen so far is pretty similar to other chillers we've set up in the past

58
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:16,799
what isn't is the pump now most pumps

59
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,560
that you encounter in everyday life are centrifugal pumps meaning that the water

60
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,680
gets sucked into the middle and then an impeller accelerates the fluid toward

61
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,160
the outside where it is kind of collected and channeled into an outlet

62
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:35,440
and it works great in most situations the problem is that as either the

63
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:41,039
pressure of the system or the viscosity of the fluid increases the flow rate of

64
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:46,919
a centrifugal pump decreases while a normal D5 computer pump can push about

65
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,360
1,500 L of water in hour once you get up

66
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:52,039
to about 5 PSI nothing is happening the

67
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,919
positive displacement turbine pump we have in here though looks a bit more

68
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:02,320
like this no matter what you do it's going to give you 1,080 L per hour are

69
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,240
you serious okay no but how does it how does it wake it looks like a centrifugal

70
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:12,560
pump oh so it just goes at a fixed speed so

71
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:18,440
if this motor is not completely overwhelmed by whatever it's pumping it

72
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,639
just goes yeah period these are

73
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,960
considered fixed flow rate pumps for the

74
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:28,600
most part until you hit like you know horsepower and break it or half

75
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:33,039
horsepower wow what's one of these boys worth 700

76
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:37,759
$69 I can see why companies who make equipment like this are so protective of

77
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:42,280
their Trade Secrets because it's a simple as opening one up and you're like

78
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,600
yeah with some sheet metal fabrication and a trip to Home Depot I could pretty

79
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:51,240
much put this together yeah this came with an anti-corrosive thing in it it's

80
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,560
mostly been drained out but there might still be some and I looked it up and it

81
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:59,880
will absolutely destroy water blocks okay yeah we just flush it out we should

82
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:05,280
be good do not operate Chiller unless fluid diffuser is installed it's in

83
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,960
there what the devil's a fluid diffuser uh you know like the little sponge that

84
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,840
you put in EK pump yeah it's basically that so it's just to keep air bubbles

85
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:17,960
from getting drawn back into the pump well and more so for just like vortexes

86
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:21,199
and ah do oh ew that

87
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,360
stinks is that the nalcool why are you

88
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,400
doing that you're not even wafting I wanted to see how it

89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,360
smelled oh do you smell this H this right here smells pretty bad it's like

90
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,240
ooh oh oh I'm going to go clean this off camera

91
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Alex described the smell as spoiled

92
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,919
Vaseline yeah is this uh paint brush in here for like scrubbing things or what

93
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,919
now it is what are you working on um I took a little trip to the plumbing

94
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:53,479
supply store to adapt this which came on it with this down to like some computer

95
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,319
tubing but these look like gas fittings and in fact they're colorcoded for gas I

96
00:06:55,479 --> 00:07:03,240
don't know that's what was on there if it can hold gas it can hold liquid right

97
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,720
pretty much um you put a lot of Teflon tape on here Alex and I don't know if

98
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,319
you wrapped it the right way yeah that one's the wrong way this one's the right way though okay well what what are you

99
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:16,960
doing right now well it's just not working cuz I'm on camera

100
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:20,919
and doing things on cameras hard is this

101
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,120
correct no righty TIY oh yeah it isn't

102
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:23,120
damn

103
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:30,879
it Here's my thought tube into distilled

104
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:34,080
water wait you haven't checked the manual like you have no idea how to do

105
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:39,240
this do you even know how to prime the pump we could definitely look at the

106
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,240
manual n

107
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:46,080
n well it holds more water than I thought Alex based on the size of that

108
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,800
Reservoir there goes a gallon oh oh no it's not level the bubbles on

109
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:54,479
the one side we got to tip her no I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding you

110
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:58,599
can't do that cuz there's compressor do you know what's fantastic Lin is we

111
00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:02,080
cannot kill ourselves with this oh that's mostly which way do these twist

112
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:06,879
clockwise counterclockwise hold on give me a

113
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:13,879
sec oh no it just doesn't twist that much okay fine hello 16.9 de C nice uh

114
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:19,159
what is happening whatever it is seems really bad yeah that seemed really

115
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:22,000
bad whoa she's

116
00:08:19,159 --> 00:08:26,400
going all right kill it oh I can't you have it yeah all right it works works

117
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,279
great oh my Alex what you know that

118
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:38,680
momentum of water will cause that to like go erect right yes clearly you hav

119
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:43,320
it peed and let it get away from you all right okay all right all right get it so

120
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,680
what's your plan once you squeegee it I was going to squeegee it out the door

121
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,399
but um okay I'm just going to spread it out yeah I mean that's basically what

122
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:55,200
mopping does anyway now instead of having a small very slippery spot we

123
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:59,839
have a large somewhat slippery spot I understand how the reservoir

124
00:08:57,839 --> 00:09:04,320
figured into all this but what I don't understand is why it didn't oh wait no I

125
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:08,560
do understand that it did suck a bit and then it went back in what do we do now

126
00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:11,279
what even is this video we have two options depending on what we want to do

127
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,920
I kind of want to see what happens if we just attach it to like a block like this

128
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:18,959
but also like we just saw what happens when the pump gets run when the things

129
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:22,480
are closed it's only half horsepower it's not as much as I thought oh okay

130
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,680
the original plan was for us to Kink one of these tubes and like blow up the

131
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:29,640
block with the pressure or something like that we don't really think that's going to happen but we're going to do

132
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:34,720
this anyway because it gives an opportunity to make sure the system

133
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:36,360
works as we expect and maybe filter out

134
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,320
some additional Gunk before we hook it up to the Corsair Loop over there not

135
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:50,519
that that's a particularly smart way to do that Alex it's more fun

136
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:52,800
though wow holy crap she rips dog yeah

137
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:58,200
and immediately everything is purged of all possible air bubbles because she

138
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,959
rips did I mention she rips I feel like

139
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:05,000
this is going to work yeah I think it's going to work really well yeah is there

140
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:08,440
a minimum specified load on this thing like air conditioner units for example

141
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:13,120
are expected to have a certain duty cycle they're expected to turn on once

142
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:17,160
in a while or like a car that sits in storage for 10 years for example just

143
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,880
cuz it has zero miles on it that's not a good thing no goes down to zero it's

144
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:28,640
fine like zero load yeah okay uh why don't we turn it down she's going going

145
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:33,399
it's going she's going you know what I think it just took us second for the

146
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:37,839
compressor to kick in she's going fast

147
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:41,120
now this volume of water 0. one of a

148
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:44,959
deg she's going now I can feel the

149
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:48,000
change now look at this thing go wow

150
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:49,880
this is unbelievable it's working now

151
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:58,079
that's for sure this is getting hard to hold my hand on now this is getting

152
00:10:53,200 --> 00:11:00,480
cold we are below five uh not a thing I

153
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:07,040
was expecting to happen 3° oh low temperature it goes down to

154
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,760
three and then it gets mad and then it turns off yeah there's a low temperature

155
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,079
warning on it it says in the manual uh so it doesn't chill things more yeah but

156
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,079
I said it to five enter see it's going down more oh

157
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:20,440
yeah why is it going down more you think it would just

158
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:27,040
stop oh good oh I'm spilling

159
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:33,360
water oh that's a really bad idea no no I got this hold on what boom

160
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:36,839
here we go oh jeez Alex I mean that computer doesn't need coolant does it

161
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:42,839
there's a lot of copper in these blocks right can just absorb the heat we're

162
00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:46,279
going into Windows now yeah all right so you I I I want to I want to see the

163
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:51,399
temps in Windows the fans are getting mad spinning up the fans okay I just I

164
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:56,079
want to see these temps go down CPU temperature CPU package 100° here we

165
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,800
go yep that's a pretty good

166
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:11,160
grab see you later heat I actually want to use this in some projects just to get

167
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,800
the arrow just see you later air done I

168
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:22,320
think I know the answer to this question then can it tame the 13900 k gpus at

169
00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:26,680
10° nice yep so what we're looking for

170
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:29,240
is to beat 366 80° was also the maximum

171
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:34,440
recorded temperature before mhm I I don't think we're going to get to wow

172
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,480
we're still at 63 it's the IHS yeah

173
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:42,920
there's only so much you can do if the bottleneck is the actual die

174
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:46,120
transferring heat through the copper IHS

175
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,800
wow that's a substantial Improvement and

176
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:57,000
that's over a water cooling system that has 320 mm fans on it and literally

177
00:12:52,760 --> 00:13:00,000
exactly the same block 620 mm fans and

178
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,360
was that even a pre-warmed loop nope

179
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,360
wow there's two ways to look at this then one is Intel is actually shipping a

180
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:12,560
CPU that nobody can run at its full

181
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:15,440
potential or two Intel shipping a CPU

182
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:21,199
that you know has so much for you to unlock yeah that's another angle I'm

183
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:27,440
just not used to seeing graphs like that up flat down no other cooling system

184
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:32,360
we've used behaves like this they ramp up and they ramp down this has a ton of

185
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:36,560
potential applications for us like imagine we were trying to test something

186
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:41,000
like a water block for example instead of sitting around and waiting for the

187
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:46,199
system to reach equilibrium we could just run a load immediately collect the

188
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:50,399
data because we have a fixed coolant temperature so we can calculate the

189
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:55,079
Delta and that's it move on to the next thing now obviously out of the box that

190
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:59,839
wouldn't be applicable to PC water cooling because the pumps we use are

191
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:03,720
much weaker but what we could do is we could create a reservoir that has two

192
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,880
inlets and two outlets so it's kind of like a water mixer and then we could run

193
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,600
a regular pc cooling pump on the one side taking this temperature controlled

194
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,920
water and this could just circulate water in there anyway what I want to do

195
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,639
is cool the whole Lounge you want to cool 12 computers with it yes 5,000

196
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:24,880
watts of cooling I mean I guess you could so cin bench ah these can probably

197
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:27,759
do like five ah let's try 58 wait so

198
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:33,160
what what on Earth are you doing are you you're setting our best cor is to 6

199
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:39,199
GHz oh my God

200
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:41,199
Alex she crashed Alex oh this has 6,000

201
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:46,600
megga transfer per second RAM in it I believe memory controllers and

202
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:52,360
overclocking on 13th gen bad time yeah let's try 56 all right 014 here we go

203
00:14:50,079 --> 00:15:01,440
Some More Voltage let's just do a quick run huh this might be a really bad CPU

204
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:07,399
let's try just not as aggressive again

205
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:11,040
apply who okay we're at 100° Alex

206
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:14,199
38,000 points that's not bad so it's

207
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:17,680
drawing 380 Watts so that would be why

208
00:15:14,199 --> 00:15:19,040
we're uh thermal throttling this CPU is

209
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:27,639
literally uncool we got 39 though 39,000 points I

210
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:32,920
like this thing yeah this is a good Chiller especially relative to our

211
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,920
previous attempts

212
00:15:41,959 --> 00:15:44,959
39,18125

213
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:55,360
man now I want to put one of these in my basement just chill the entire rack I

214
00:15:53,120 --> 00:16:00,319
think I might be in love yes thank you John we don't we're

215
00:15:58,319 --> 00:16:05,160
not sending this back no this is just ours thanks John okay shout out John's

216
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:10,720
side hustle with the light box things have you seen that yeah it's really cool

217
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:14,160
yeah it's pretty cool stop no no no no

218
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,199
trust your first instinct no no okay

219
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,720
okay no I don't want it to crash again

220
00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:23,160
let's give her more juice I think I know how to use this

221
00:16:20,839 --> 00:16:28,279
now oh he broke 40K really yeah hey can we run a GPU

222
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:34,360
load real quick here I want to see what the GP run it is this Forza Horizon 5

223
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,199
running at 130 frames per at 4K

224
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:43,240
absolutely cranked yes with r tracing 18° on the GPU which is turboing

225
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:43,240
to

226
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:52,040
2.73 and to be clear 409s pretty much

227
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:54,319
universally have way over speced coolers

228
00:16:52,040 --> 00:17:00,680
this is without us even adjusting anything which is Wild Well we gained 4

229
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:07,120
FPS yeah and we gained this segue to our

230
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,439

last chiller Alex built no why don't you watch the one where they didn't actually

245
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:08,960
chill anything they just hooked a computer up to the

246
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960
sink
