00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,180
guys the whole point of this video is to

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,519
undo the catastrophe of the car radiator

3
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:12,420
video this is a heater core and this is what I was supposed to have that time

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:17,220
around you can see we've designed a shroud for it that'll allow you to use a

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,960
regular pc cooling fan even though this was originally designed for a car these

6
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:26,100
were mostly popular in the early 2000s when custom-made PC water cooling

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,740
radiators weren't really a thing yet what does this have to do with any of

8
00:00:28,619 --> 00:00:35,760
what I just said and what does it have to do with this

by checking them out at the link down below and use code Linus to save 10 on

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,160
your purchase it's this thing new from a 69 Camaro why

13
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:59,820
would it be new I don't know maybe there's a for enthusia just restoration

14
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:03,359
parts brand new or something look the

15
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:06,119
point is this AIO water cooler with a

16
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,040
triple 120 millimeter radiator costs a whopping

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,380
180 dollars which got us thinking given

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:19,140
that you can go to a junkyard and pick up a heater core that's got to have at

19
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:21,720
least that kind of cooling capacity for

20
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:27,060
like 40 bucks could we scrape together everything else we need and build a

21
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:32,580
competitive water cooling system I mean we all know about the problems with aios

22
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:33,900
weak pumps skinny tubing and want to

23
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:39,600
upgrade them forget about it this might not be pretty

24
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,560
but if we choose the right case we might be able to install it in such a way that

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:48,420
you would never know that it's inside the question is just how much did the

26
00:01:46,259 --> 00:01:52,740
rest of this stuff cost us in total everything including the heater

27
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:58,979
core was a hundred and eleven dollars really so we beat this by 70 bucks yep

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:02,820
all we need to know now is how much work are we going to be putting into

29
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:06,719
installing it and what's the performance going to be like to be clear this isn't

30
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:12,720
a given and one of our obstacles is right in the name it's a heater core

31
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:15,239
it's not for cooling it actually takes

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,220
cold air coming into the front of your vehicle sometimes at a significant

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:24,540
velocity takes hot water from your engine Heats that air and then blows it

34
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:29,459
into your face on a cold Winter's day which means that even though it would

35
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:35,220
typically have a fan as an assist heater cores are thick with dense thin

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,080
Arrangements because they need a lot of static pressure to get through them

37
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:42,420
static pressure that a typical PC fan is

38
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,760
not really designed to provide although then again if those can't do it maybe

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:49,260
these can and if these can't well this

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,920
definitely can definitely not in the budget but I think

41
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:56,599
this would probably fit yeah that one that one plus it a bit while Alex gets

42
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:02,459
the fans mounted I want to talk about yet another obstacle you know how I just

43
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:07,019
said you'd expect to have way more airflow in a car well

44
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:12,379
you'd also expect to have way more water flow from the pump you would find in a

45
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:16,620
car and while we did find an affordable

46
00:03:12,379 --> 00:03:19,560
aquarium pump that claims to do 1 400

47
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:24,300
liters per hour the issue with aquarium pumps is they're typically designed to

48
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:28,739
maximize flow rate even if it comes at the cost of head pressure so as soon as

49
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:35,879
we start to try to pump that water through a restrictive CPU block or a big

50
00:03:32,819 --> 00:03:37,620
fat heater core we could see those flow

51
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:42,000
rates plummet also that's the least of our

52
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:48,440
concerns at the moment because like does this even hold water

53
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,440
what's yeah what's inside of it

54
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,400
solder

55
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:04,080
oh that's green okay uh that's not supposed to go down the sink okay tasty

56
00:04:01,019 --> 00:04:06,840
that seems fairly minimal please don't

57
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:11,220
attack our office Greenpeace it warmed up when I cleaned it out with the hot

58
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:15,540
water now it just smells gross uh that's been in my office the whole week so I

59
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:19,079
know how you feel put your face right in it I don't mind it that's all that but

60
00:04:16,859 --> 00:04:23,759
metal smell one of the big challenges with two

61
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:28,620
thousands era water cooling was finding a a heater core that would fit in a case

62
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:33,479
and B a case that would fit a heater core because you got to remember back

63
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,960
then most of our cases had a ton of

64
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:39,300
Drive Bays especially the large premium

65
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:44,160
ones that might have enough space so what folks often ended up doing is

66
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:48,720
dremeling out or otherwise removing large amounts of the front of the

67
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,400
internals and in some cases even the front of the case in order to get enough

68
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:57,240
airflow through these Hogs thankfully we shouldn't have to deal with any of that

69
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:02,220
because our handy dandy engineer Kyle made us a shroud which is going to serve

70
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:06,120
two purposes one it's going to create a gap between the spinning blades of our

71
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:09,840
fan and the heater core itself you can see it's about a centimeter right now

72
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:14,400
that's going to help us make more effective use of the fins that otherwise

73
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:20,280
would be under the Hub or under the corners or way over there where our fan

74
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:24,360
can't reach them the second purpose is it's going to make it compatible with

75
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:29,759
our case because we can mount the fan here and then we can mount our two fans

76
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:33,960
into the front of the case this is exactly how smoothly that car radiator

77
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:37,919
shoot was supposed to go if only we had gotten a heater core that time like I

78
00:05:35,699 --> 00:05:41,280
asked what we have done literally nothing so far Linus we've done

79
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,479
something can you say this is going smoothly we haven't even JB welded our

80
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:51,479
fittings into it yet oh wait no we could just stretch tubing

81
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:54,900
over that uh that's three quarters of an inch I could stretch half inch

82
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:57,620
tubing over it seems like a tight fit you know what

83
00:05:58,860 --> 00:06:04,620
oh where's that heat gun

84
00:06:01,979 --> 00:06:09,240
oh if it fits you know you're gonna sit what what graphics card is that in there

85
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:12,780
don't worry about it okay bye-bye 4090 no

86
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:17,699
he's actually doing better than I thought he would I think my first rodeo

87
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,300
okay back of my day I used to do a 3 8 inch thick wall tubing over half inch

88
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:25,380
fittings to make sure they would never leak so one thing I've realized that's

89
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:30,960
going to be a problem that we could probably solve right now is that my

90
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:32,940
AliExpress water block

91
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,440
I'm listening it's not am5 compatible because I just forgot that I have am5

92
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:43,460
here it's dangerous don't worry about it oh that's that's fine you're actually a

93
00:06:40,139 --> 00:06:43,460
lot further than I thought you'd be

94
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:48,539
at this point in the video you're probably wondering why we're even

95
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:53,160
bothering to show you this it doesn't seem like the sort of thing that you should do at home but that's not

96
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:56,639
actually the case I mean we are intentionally using the wrong size

97
00:06:55,020 --> 00:07:02,520
tubing here because we would have to go all the way over to the other building to get thicker tubing so it's not the

98
00:07:01,139 --> 00:07:07,319
kind of thing that you would have to deal with and as long as our performance

99
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:11,340
is okay there's no denying the difference in cost

100
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:14,699
so as long as you can find a good deal on a heater core I don't see any reason

101
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:19,319
why you couldn't replicate this at home however it's gotten a little bit more

102
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:23,699
difficult finding copper based heater cores these days since a lot of the

103
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,479
modern ones are aluminum and those of you who are experiencing water cooling

104
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:31,020
will know that if you run an aluminum component and a copper component

105
00:07:28,979 --> 00:07:37,020
together in the same Loop even with an anti-corrosion additive you

106
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:41,160
are asking for a bad time and since aluminum water cooling components are

107
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:45,539
few and far between you will need to find a copper heater core motorcycle

108
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:49,020
radiators are another option if you can find one with Dimensions that'll fit in

109
00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:51,960
your case ultimately you just do what a lot of people used to and you don't

110
00:07:49,979 --> 00:07:56,880
bother putting it in your case just run some tubes out the back and uh

111
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,840
go whole room water cooling oh no I was just trying to think you might need to

112
00:07:58,860 --> 00:08:04,979
do even more stretching now that I look at the fittings that we have for this

113
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:10,259
aquarium pump that's the only one you have to go into the other side well I

114
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,699
have this one oh ye of little faith

115
00:08:10,259 --> 00:08:15,900
success sure if that doesn't look like

116
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:20,819
performance to you I don't know what would

117
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:24,419
uh guys what did you think to maybe

118
00:08:20,819 --> 00:08:26,039
offset this so that it fits in the case

119
00:08:24,419 --> 00:08:31,020
uh I thought that we can just take that part out yeah or Dremel ah oh yeah

120
00:08:31,020 --> 00:08:39,560
LTC screwdriver for the win yes

121
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:39,560
hey this is a pretty big moment of truth

122
00:08:39,899 --> 00:08:47,399
oh no oh you've kinked it bro

123
00:08:44,459 --> 00:08:53,060
don't kink shame also I have a plan

124
00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:55,339
he was supposed to cut the tubes shorter

125
00:08:53,060 --> 00:09:02,760
that's a way worse plan hold on okay hey so now when it leaks

126
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:06,000
it's right on the power supply yeah oh geez you're spilling water in the case

127
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:10,680
too where were you planning to put the reservoir and pump well my thought was

128
00:09:08,459 --> 00:09:16,320
we would cut these tubes short which I forgot to mention and then we would put

129
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:22,920
the radiator up top with the pump down below I see I really have to remove my

130
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:26,240
tube no you just cut the copper pipe off

131
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,240
the tube's still attached

132
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,959
uh rest in peace stretched tube hey guys

133
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:39,120
cavalry's here what's up Colin uh oh this is perfect we got some nice

134
00:09:36,899 --> 00:09:44,300
thick boys uh yeah sure uh just just right here is good yeah just depth

135
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:44,300
literally anyway thank you

136
00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:48,140
no thanks

137
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:56,839
excellent you contributed to that that was not all of us I got some tech tips

138
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:56,839
here for you Kyle

139
00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:05,820
that looks pretty good Alex made the executive decision to not try to install

140
00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:09,779
our cheap AliExpress block because it's not am5 compatible and we're just going

141
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:14,640
to use what an EK block Alpha cool actually yeah we're still

142
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:19,380
well under budget like 50 60 bucks under what we would have paid for an AIO yeah

143
00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:21,779
and we're using a premium block from a

144
00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:26,060
very reputable water cooling company oh that sounds so good it's pretty it's

145
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:30,320
a bad color I'm trying to sell this screwdriver you

146
00:10:30,899 --> 00:10:37,080
the best way to do this would have been to braise fittings onto the copper pipes

147
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:41,040
however the good thing about the way we're doing it is we're showing you guys

148
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:46,560
a lot of the different options you can also just stretch a tube over and you

149
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,720
can also epoxy A fitting onto the bare

150
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:53,220
copper pipe just bear in mind that brazing would be the most reliable it's

151
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:56,880
bigger freaking a that's what you said all

152
00:10:55,560 --> 00:11:00,959
right but do you have a fitting for this for the other side no wait

153
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:06,180
we're good we go from the radiator to that side of

154
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:10,079
the pump oh yeah as long as that is an appropriate Loop order then we're good

155
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:14,820
to go okay Alex is here with the big tube okay I think we're just gonna put

156
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:20,000
big tubing over JB Weld I also know how we can adapt between the

157
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:22,560
two oh no

158
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:30,200
I approve I approve perfect I approve no no no no

159
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,200
no no no no no no

160
00:11:30,779 --> 00:11:36,060
yeah it didn't stick it in it didn't zip tie it

161
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:40,680
I'm bringing this back over and we're forgetting about the JB Weld then yep I

162
00:11:38,579 --> 00:11:47,399
guess so all right oh it's pretty uh hardened boys

163
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:51,959
the good news is that it's at an in-between tacky phase where I can get

164
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:57,480
it off really cleanly guys this is great okay this one goes on this

165
00:11:55,140 --> 00:12:01,920
side then that's a lot of JB Weld on my tube

166
00:11:59,060 --> 00:12:06,260
okay we need one of those zip tie guns have you ever seen one of those zip ties

167
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,260
yeah they're super cool

168
00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:11,700
they're not that expensive you want me to buy you one nope I've wasted so much

169
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,360
more of your money than the frequency of Thai gun mate

170
00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:20,360
okay here we go come on

171
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:25,680
yeah yeah oh nice this is actually going a

172
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,100
lot better than I thought it would what happened last time someone said this is

173
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:34,680
going really well have you learned nothing

174
00:12:31,079 --> 00:12:37,980
nope all right not bad though hey we

175
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:40,380
still haven't pressure tested it

176
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:45,620
I'm just saying it right now so that when we spill water all over 40 90 that

177
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:50,399
there's documentation of I told you sir I often tell this to people on the

178
00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:53,700
leadership team here I Told You So is not acceptable all right if you knew

179
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:59,279
better you have to actually stop it could I stop you if I tried nope

180
00:12:56,540 --> 00:13:03,480
well I for one am excited what are we using for a rep

181
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:08,160
really that loopy little thing yeah this is our radiator yeah and that's a

182
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:12,600
reservoir it's really cheap oh you realize how much bigger this is than the

183
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:17,100
reservoir that was in the AIO that's true yeah it is infinitely bigger than

184
00:13:14,940 --> 00:13:20,639
the reservoir that was in the AIO which doesn't have one we are going to have

185
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:23,880
this Loop filled before you can say Bob's your uncle don't try to say Bob's

186
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:27,260
your uncle faster than I'm doing what I'm doing right now magnet

187
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:33,540
uh why did it have to be flesh colored

188
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:39,240
too bad we don't have the only fans anymore

189
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:43,019
freaking hey that like is not bad though

190
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:45,959
guys like for realsies not bad it

191
00:13:43,019 --> 00:13:50,339
actually looks like industrial yeah I'm bringing the radiator down to the pump

192
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:55,800
which I just need to get repositioned so that the inlet has access to what's

193
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:57,959
coming off of the uh Reservoir I just

194
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,740
need a position for it where are you going to put the reservoir it'll have to

195
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,600
go somewhere right before the pump okay I can't screw this up so I'm gonna err

196
00:14:04,019 --> 00:14:11,100
on the side of a little bit longer okay then

197
00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:16,920
this bad boy has to go over this Barb or we are boned

198
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:21,540
oh look at that perfect actually that's that's a genius

199
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:25,860
way to mount the wow it's right here seems like yeah that's real good old

200
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:30,360
school freaking water cooling guys we are doing it I'm actually feeling really

201
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,959
good now this has been a bit of a discouraging project up until now

202
00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:41,639
other than the first bit where things were going really well and I jinxed it

203
00:14:37,079 --> 00:14:43,079
oh man we got this question select Kyle

204
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:48,060
how does the reservoir get water from this oh okay I didn't see that don't

205
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:50,040
worry Kyle everything's going to be okay

206
00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:56,220
forgive me for not having faith in these guys I can see it I can smell Victory

207
00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:58,860
right now look at this now we have

208
00:14:56,220 --> 00:15:03,060
access to both the inlet which is going to come from can you pass me this one

209
00:15:00,839 --> 00:15:06,959
this one here so you passed me that what do you mean goes to the inlet through

210
00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:09,540
where yeah yeah exactly right there and we've got a fill Port do you want to cut

211
00:15:08,220 --> 00:15:13,500
it shorter we'll just leave it long uh no no we'll cut it shorter we'll cut it shorter here okay don't kill it that

212
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,040
short tell me when just like look at it and

213
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,060
cut it in the right spot you're a smart guy okay sure

214
00:15:18,779 --> 00:15:25,320
you should make educational videos Alex it's like a gift ah do you have those

215
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:28,680
scissors what are you doing cutting it oh my goodness okay can I have that

216
00:15:27,779 --> 00:15:34,920
please no not that that's the sixth

217
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:37,740
what do you want oh can I have that the

218
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:43,019
tubing kind of looks that can you be less of a downer clear

219
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,920
black different kind of black luckily the same color black is this black oh

220
00:15:44,459 --> 00:15:50,220
these are way too long you cut this one well yeah I was just doing a test to

221
00:15:49,019 --> 00:15:53,399
make sure that it fit on the thinning what did you it's like Kyle these are

222
00:15:52,079 --> 00:15:58,079
way too long and you grab the one that you freaking cut well I put you in charge

223
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:02,220
here unless you want this to cut tubing well you see I will say line is possibly

224
00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:05,339
the scissors which are these how many times did I say scissors editor uh do

225
00:16:04,199 --> 00:16:09,959
you have those scissors okay can I have that please hey look at this though guys

226
00:16:09,959 --> 00:16:16,279
we're freaking installed I want to see some performance out of this thing

227
00:16:17,579 --> 00:16:23,160
that pump is freaking going though hey that Pub is pretty ridiculous I'm pretty

228
00:16:21,779 --> 00:16:28,940
happy it'll go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go okay now don't

229
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:28,940
don't turn it off whatever you do this

230
00:16:32,899 --> 00:16:40,019
oh no the block the good news

231
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:44,000
is that the computer is not powered on which means everything should be alive

232
00:16:45,540 --> 00:16:51,300
we weren't supposed to do it until later but I do have a water cooled 49er right

233
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:57,540
here that we're going to swap in if we felt the need I think we're swapping

234
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,519
this in uh oh I found some of your um

235
00:16:57,540 --> 00:17:04,020
radiator schmoo oh yeah that's a pretty gross I know the problem look

236
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:09,480
it's not straight so the O-ring was sitting on this scene it's very obvious

237
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:12,480
what went wrong and how to fix it I have a lot of JB Weld on my fingers which is

238
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,919
probably not the best thing for an O-ring oh it's pretty bad yeah that's

239
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:22,079
that's not turning back on today all right no problem guys we might have got

240
00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:26,459
away with one the heatsink for the SSD is very wet

241
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:33,120
but I think that the SSD itself is dry hey the good news is by the time you buy

242
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,440
a GPU block you are still not that far

243
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:39,000
off what you would have spent on that top of the line AIO you're an extra

244
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:44,820
maybe 40 bucks inch yeah that's the upgradability of a custom Loop yeah and

245
00:17:41,580 --> 00:17:47,640
your sanity don't worry about that

246
00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:52,380
new GPU upgrading all right are you ready

247
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,679
I'm ready do it

248
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:01,140
is okay we're good that was the problem

249
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:04,679
missing clear o-ring that's fine

250
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:09,120
okay hit me with another thank you so much good sir

251
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:13,380
the motherboard is very clean now especially the 490s very cleanly washed

252
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:19,080
it can I have some side Cutters you mean Flush Cutters I mean a thingy

253
00:18:15,539 --> 00:18:24,020
pass me that okay

254
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,020
let's do it let's do it you ready yep

255
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:29,400
there's a lot of air bubbles in there that's okay because we have the

256
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,880
reservoir right above the pump and because we have the fittings for the

257
00:18:31,020 --> 00:18:37,200
radiator at the top the bubbles have nowhere to get stuck so

258
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:42,900
they'll this will bleed extremely quickly it's a submersible pump so they tend not

259
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:46,980
to be that quiet although it's not very quiet it's pretty it's not bad now that

260
00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:50,700
it's got the air bubbles out of it and like we have really got some water

261
00:18:48,539 --> 00:18:56,400
moving in here you guys ready okay do it three two one do it do it oh press the

262
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:01,260
wrong button it's probably Knocked Up

263
00:18:59,299 --> 00:19:04,860
come on baby I haven't checked anything else 24 pin

264
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:09,980
plugged in I'm getting postcodes and stuff it's doing stuff are we are we up

265
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,980
are we up we did it

266
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:19,860
yeah Jank water cooling save 50 bucks

267
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,720
we did yep well minus the GPU

268
00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:27,539
this is moving yeah that's on finishing touches it

269
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:33,900
actually looks pretty fine from the front

270
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,559
that classic blue LED 120 mil fan look

271
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:39,780
though all right in summary then we

272
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:44,760
probably downgraded our radiator a little bit more surface area from the

273
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:49,559
front tends to be better than more thickness overall plus these are

274
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:55,799
probably better fans than what we put on this but we upgraded our block our pump

275
00:19:53,100 --> 00:20:01,200
is probably fine we actually have a reservoir now at all and we did it for

276
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,559
50 60 bucks less so we could have splurged for premium

277
00:20:02,940 --> 00:20:09,960
fans and we would still have a system that is upgradable that we can grow into

278
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:13,799
we will upgrade the fan but what we're looking for here the biggest thing is

279
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:18,120
CPU package power I'm guessing this is going to hit 95 degrees because AMD

280
00:20:15,419 --> 00:20:24,240
targets that yeah but if this drops below about 184 Watts we're doing worse

281
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:29,100
if we're able to get above 200 we like killed it when we did the test before we

282
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:34,260
just had the AIO cooling the water block not the GPU yeah correct so now we're

283
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:38,340
cooling both CPU and the GPU yeah yeah so if we have the same package power not

284
00:20:36,299 --> 00:20:43,940
only are we winning we are super windy yes but we also blew the budget with

285
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:43,940
that GPU block so

286
00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:53,100
are you hitting it okay CPU

287
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:55,380
85 90. yeah so we have 200 watts can we

288
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:58,980
sustain it you're not hitting the GPU are you no no that would be pretty

289
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,700
unfair it's already got a little bit of extra load on it from that and more

290
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:06,720
restriction in the loop from having to push water through an additional block I

291
00:21:04,919 --> 00:21:12,600
think that we're still already ahead of the AIO really yeah that actually makes

292
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:14,880
sense because aios use extremely

293
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:18,780
rudimentary cold plates so that's your bottleneck rather than

294
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:24,059
the temperature of the coolant you can throw all the fans and all the radiator you want at it

295
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:28,940
if the cold plate can't move heat fast enough it's just not going to be as

296
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:32,400
effective oh we're down to 92. what

297
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:34,799
192. yeah 190. that's still more

298
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:39,600
no 192 is kind of like where it liked hanging out before okay

299
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,520
well I guess we don't need to get good at high-fiving then the thing that might

300
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:47,460
be pulling it back is like the vrms and

301
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:52,500
not the CPU itself it's without a doubt as good or better than the AI and

302
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:57,539
upgradable should we upgrade it oh God

303
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:59,100
if you must I I think we just do it

304
00:21:57,539 --> 00:22:04,740
right now right now we're doing it we're just we're just sending it oh we can do

305
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:06,780
it can we yeah no way okay let's put

306
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:11,280
some real airflow on this thing if you're finding yourself asking

307
00:22:09,419 --> 00:22:13,620
did I just watch just know that you're not alone there are other people like

308
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:19,080
you and they all shop at lttstore.com all

309
00:22:17,159 --> 00:22:21,200
right okay I'll be good I think we're good

310
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:28,559
okay hold on can I just yeah it's great

311
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:31,700
great is a strong if it takes off just get out of the way okay

312
00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:37,200
what can possibly go this is basically like driving down the highway at 100

313
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:42,840
miles an hour we're up from 180 to 187

314
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:46,559
. this is moving some heat out of that heater core boys 188.

315
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:53,460
189. oh my 190.

316
00:22:54,659 --> 00:23:00,900
all you need is the right fan configuration

317
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:06,500
this just keeps going guys we're all the way up to 194. the fans are spinning

318
00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:13,260
fast enough that the LEDs turned on I gotta confess I'm actually a little

319
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,600
surprised that the heater core method is

320
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:20,220
still a viable option for PC water cooling

321
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:22,280
oh yeah it's great to be clear there are
