Massive shout out to Corsair for sponsoring us here at Computex 2018.
Check out their two ADX Crystal Series cases at the link below. Well, he's done
it again. The overclocking modding. I
don't know. Uh it's hard to come up with a word for this guy that doesn't sound a
little disrespectful cuz he's just kind of like out there. but in the best
possible way. Dare Bower has created
something that many have tried but no
one has succeeded at. This, my friends,
is a very early stages prototype of a
completely pumpless all-in-one liquid
cooling system. Now, the first time I ever saw this attempted was in a post on
Extreme Systems by old OCZ Tony where he
was like back that was back when they released a CPU block that I don't know
if literally anyone ever bought. Anyway, they had kind of gotten it working such
that like the evaporation of the boiling fluid in the block got the the liquid to
cycle through the thing. And he was like, "Yeah, this will probably never be a commercial product." And up until now,
he was right. So, check this out. Let's let's come in here and have a closer
look. Now, this is obviously very early
prototype stages and there's going to be a lot of changes made. Wow, it's
actually a little bit little bit toasty because there is a lot of heat under
this. This is actually an overclocked Intel 7900X. So, even though there's
only two sticks in here, no, this is not some like weak sauce KB Lake X. This is
probably about 140 watts, you figure somewhere in that neighborhood. So, the
only reason that the other two dim slots aren't occupied here is because there's
this like pressure sensor thing sticking out of one side of it that will not make
it into the final product. Although, other than some kind of concept stage
renders of what the product might look like, we don't know too much about it.
One thing that we know is that the tubing probably won't end up looking
like this. It'll be either one or two
tubes, hopefully two, because that'll improve the flexibility of the radiator
placement a little bit, but there are some special requirements that
unfortunately I'm not allowed to discuss with you guys because he is being
completely zip- lipped about what kind
of coolant he's using in here. The reality of it is is you can't keep
something like that that secret because there's like material safety data sheets
and import and export laws and all that kind of stuff. So he has to keep as few
people as possible in the know. Like he didn't invent a liquid here. So as few
people as possible need to know so they can't replicate it. Basically, what we
do know is that the tubing won't be able to have too deep of an S-curve in it
because then the condensing liquid that's dripping back down towards the
CPU will get stuck. We also know that the radiator will have to be above the
CPU because that's the way that the coolant cycles. It's kind of like a heat
pipe. So you can see here the CPU is actually visible under there and then
we've got some kind of an element like a like a conductive piece of metal that
it's connected to here and that is boiling whatever liquid this is. The gas
rises all the way up to a very very again prototype stages looking heat
exchanger here where ah there we go. So, there's a better look at it where we've
got these uh kind of it looks like it's CNCed out like kind of a CNCed uh bottom
piece here where it turns back into a liquid and then drips back down towards
the CPU at the top. And this will also
need some significant changes for the final product. We've got a couple of
what looks like server uh oneu are these
just oneu server heat sinks? Wow. Dinatron.
Very nice. couple of Dinatron copper server heat sinks with 92 millimeter
fans on them. But what we're going to end up with in all likelihood is more of
a conventional radiator form factor and with something like um the same kind of
fan that you'd have on a rear exhaust blower style GPU kind of scattering the
air out around it. In terms of mounting
hardware, we don't have too many details yet. So, I'd love to hear from you guys
in the comments. Actually, a couple of things. First of all, I'd love to see if
any of you can guess what coolant that is because Roman is pretty confident
over here that no one is going to figure it out. And I'd love to hear from you
guys. What kind of mounting hardware would you like to see included? This is
very likely to be a limited edition product. I'd be surprised if they make
more than like a couple hundred of them personally, but it would be a very cool
piece of custom PC modding history to own because this is another cool thing.
We've seen concepts of this before and even though there's no pump, they end up
kind of loud cuz you can hear the coolant boiling. This one completely
silent because of the thickness of the enclosure here.
By the way, if you're looking for a case to throw it in, you might want to check out Corsair's 280X series. They've got a
couple of actually they've got four different versions. It's in black or
white and with or without RGB. It's an
MATX case design with multiple cooling zones and it's kind of an updated look
of one of their older cases with, yes, my friends, you guessed it, more RGB.
The RGB version includes two of their light loop RGB fans as well as their
digital node controller, which is compatible with their new IQ software.
You can learn more about the 280X Crystal series at the link in the video
description. So, thanks for watching, guys. If you dislike this video, then like you're on
the wrong channel, quite frankly. But if you liked it, hit like, get subscribed,
or maybe consider checking out weird. Yeah, good luck. You can't buy it yet. So, um, let's put a link to like um like
cat videos in the description. I don't know. Who cares? Just subscribe to Linus

Soul stare. No, you can't get away from the soul stare. Sorry.
