WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.180 guys the whole point of this video is to 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.519 undo the catastrophe of the car radiator 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 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 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.960 regular pc cooling fan even though this was originally designed for a car these 00:00:19.619 --> 00:00:26.100 were mostly popular in the early 2000s when custom-made PC water cooling 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.740 radiators weren't really a thing yet what does this have to do with any of 00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:35.760 what I just said and what does it have to do with this 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:40.320 message from our sponsor motiongray their sit to stand desks and Ergo chairs 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:43.800 provide maximum Comfort at an affordable price crunch your numbers not your back 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:48.719 by checking them out at the link down below and use code Linus to save 10 on 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:53.160 your purchase it's this thing new from a 69 Camaro why 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:59.820 would it be new I don't know maybe there's a for enthusia just restoration 00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:03.359 parts brand new or something look the 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:06.119 point is this AIO water cooler with a 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:11.040 triple 120 millimeter radiator costs a whopping 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.380 180 dollars which got us thinking given 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 00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:21.720 least that kind of cooling capacity for 00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:27.060 like 40 bucks could we scrape together everything else we need and build a 00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:32.580 competitive water cooling system I mean we all know about the problems with aios 00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:33.900 weak pumps skinny tubing and want to 00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:39.600 upgrade them forget about it this might not be pretty 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 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:48.420 you would never know that it's inside the question is just how much did the 00:01:46.259 --> 00:01:52.740 rest of this stuff cost us in total everything including the heater 00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:58.979 core was a hundred and eleven dollars really so we beat this by 70 bucks yep 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 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 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 00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:15.239 it's not for cooling it actually takes 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:20.220 cold air coming into the front of your vehicle sometimes at a significant 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:24.540 velocity takes hot water from your engine Heats that air and then blows it 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:29.459 into your face on a cold Winter's day which means that even though it would 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:35.220 typically have a fan as an assist heater cores are thick with dense thin 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:40.080 Arrangements because they need a lot of static pressure to get through them 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:42.420 static pressure that a typical PC fan is 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.760 not really designed to provide although then again if those can't do it maybe 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:49.260 these can and if these can't well this 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:52.920 definitely can definitely not in the budget but I think 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.599 this would probably fit yeah that one that one plus it a bit while Alex gets 00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:02.459 the fans mounted I want to talk about yet another obstacle you know how I just 00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:07.019 said you'd expect to have way more airflow in a car well 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 00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:16.620 car and while we did find an affordable 00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:19.560 aquarium pump that claims to do 1 400 00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:24.300 liters per hour the issue with aquarium pumps is they're typically designed to 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 00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:35.879 we start to try to pump that water through a restrictive CPU block or a big 00:03:32.819 --> 00:03:37.620 fat heater core we could see those flow 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:42.000 rates plummet also that's the least of our 00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:48.440 concerns at the moment because like does this even hold water 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:48.440 what's yeah what's inside of it 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.400 solder 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 00:04:01.019 --> 00:04:06.840 that seems fairly minimal please don't 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:11.220 attack our office Greenpeace it warmed up when I cleaned it out with the hot 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 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 00:04:16.859 --> 00:04:23.759 metal smell one of the big challenges with two 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:28.620 thousands era water cooling was finding a a heater core that would fit in a case 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:33.479 and B a case that would fit a heater core because you got to remember back 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.960 then most of our cases had a ton of 00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:39.300 Drive Bays especially the large premium 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:44.160 ones that might have enough space so what folks often ended up doing is 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:48.720 dremeling out or otherwise removing large amounts of the front of the 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.400 internals and in some cases even the front of the case in order to get enough 00:04:50.460 --> 00:04:57.240 airflow through these Hogs thankfully we shouldn't have to deal with any of that 00:04:54.840 --> 00:05:02.220 because our handy dandy engineer Kyle made us a shroud which is going to serve 00:04:59.340 --> 00:05:06.120 two purposes one it's going to create a gap between the spinning blades of our 00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:09.840 fan and the heater core itself you can see it's about a centimeter right now 00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:14.400 that's going to help us make more effective use of the fins that otherwise 00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:20.280 would be under the Hub or under the corners or way over there where our fan 00:05:17.580 --> 00:05:24.360 can't reach them the second purpose is it's going to make it compatible with 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 00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:33.960 into the front of the case this is exactly how smoothly that car radiator 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 00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:41.280 asked what we have done literally nothing so far Linus we've done 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:45.479 something can you say this is going smoothly we haven't even JB welded our 00:05:43.320 --> 00:05:51.479 fittings into it yet oh wait no we could just stretch tubing 00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:54.900 over that uh that's three quarters of an inch I could stretch half inch 00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:57.620 tubing over it seems like a tight fit you know what 00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:04.620 oh where's that heat gun 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 00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:12.780 don't worry about it okay bye-bye 4090 no 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:17.699 he's actually doing better than I thought he would I think my first rodeo 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 00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:25.380 fittings to make sure they would never leak so one thing I've realized that's 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:30.960 going to be a problem that we could probably solve right now is that my 00:06:27.900 --> 00:06:32.940 AliExpress water block 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:37.440 I'm listening it's not am5 compatible because I just forgot that I have am5 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 00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:43.460 lot further than I thought you'd be 00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:48.539 at this point in the video you're probably wondering why we're even 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 00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:56.639 actually the case I mean we are intentionally using the wrong size 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 00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:07.319 kind of thing that you would have to deal with and as long as our performance 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.340 is okay there's no denying the difference in cost 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 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:19.319 why you couldn't replicate this at home however it's gotten a little bit more 00:07:16.979 --> 00:07:23.699 difficult finding copper based heater cores these days since a lot of the 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:27.479 modern ones are aluminum and those of you who are experiencing water cooling 00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:31.020 will know that if you run an aluminum component and a copper component 00:07:28.979 --> 00:07:37.020 together in the same Loop even with an anti-corrosion additive you 00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:41.160 are asking for a bad time and since aluminum water cooling components are 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:45.539 few and far between you will need to find a copper heater core motorcycle 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:49.020 radiators are another option if you can find one with Dimensions that'll fit in 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 00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:56.880 bother putting it in your case just run some tubes out the back and uh 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 00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:04.979 do even more stretching now that I look at the fittings that we have for this 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 00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:11.699 have this one oh ye of little faith 00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:15.900 success sure if that doesn't look like 00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:20.819 performance to you I don't know what would 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:24.419 uh guys what did you think to maybe 00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:26.039 offset this so that it fits in the case 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 00:08:31.020 --> 00:08:39.560 LTC screwdriver for the win yes 00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:39.560 hey this is a pretty big moment of truth 00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:47.399 oh no oh you've kinked it bro 00:08:44.459 --> 00:08:53.060 don't kink shame also I have a plan 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:55.339 he was supposed to cut the tubes shorter 00:08:53.060 --> 00:09:02.760 that's a way worse plan hold on okay hey so now when it leaks 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 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:10.680 too where were you planning to put the reservoir and pump well my thought was 00:09:08.459 --> 00:09:16.320 we would cut these tubes short which I forgot to mention and then we would put 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 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:26.240 tube no you just cut the copper pipe off 00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:26.240 the tube's still attached 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:33.959 uh rest in peace stretched tube hey guys 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:39.120 cavalry's here what's up Colin uh oh this is perfect we got some nice 00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:44.300 thick boys uh yeah sure uh just just right here is good yeah just depth 00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:44.300 literally anyway thank you 00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:48.140 no thanks 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:56.839 excellent you contributed to that that was not all of us I got some tech tips 00:09:54.180 --> 00:09:56.839 here for you Kyle 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:05.820 that looks pretty good Alex made the executive decision to not try to install 00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:09.779 our cheap AliExpress block because it's not am5 compatible and we're just going 00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:14.640 to use what an EK block Alpha cool actually yeah we're still 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 00:10:16.380 --> 00:10:21.779 and we're using a premium block from a 00:10:19.380 --> 00:10:26.060 very reputable water cooling company oh that sounds so good it's pretty it's 00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:30.320 a bad color I'm trying to sell this screwdriver you 00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:37.080 the best way to do this would have been to braise fittings onto the copper pipes 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 00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:46.560 a lot of the different options you can also just stretch a tube over and you 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.720 can also epoxy A fitting onto the bare 00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:53.220 copper pipe just bear in mind that brazing would be the most reliable it's 00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:56.880 bigger freaking a that's what you said all 00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:00.959 right but do you have a fitting for this for the other side no wait 00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:06.180 we're good we go from the radiator to that side of 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 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 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:20.000 big tubing over JB Weld I also know how we can adapt between the 00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:22.560 two oh no 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:30.200 I approve I approve perfect I approve no no no no 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.200 no no no no no no 00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:36.060 yeah it didn't stick it in it didn't zip tie it 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 00:11:38.579 --> 00:11:47.399 guess so all right oh it's pretty uh hardened boys 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 00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:57.480 it off really cleanly guys this is great okay this one goes on this 00:11:55.140 --> 00:12:01.920 side then that's a lot of JB Weld on my tube 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 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.260 yeah they're super cool 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 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:14.360 more of your money than the frequency of Thai gun mate 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:20.360 okay here we go come on 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:25.680 yeah yeah oh nice this is actually going a 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:29.100 lot better than I thought it would what happened last time someone said this is 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:34.680 going really well have you learned nothing 00:12:31.079 --> 00:12:37.980 nope all right not bad though hey we 00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:40.380 still haven't pressure tested it 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 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:50.399 there's documentation of I told you sir I often tell this to people on the 00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:53.700 leadership team here I Told You So is not acceptable all right if you knew 00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:59.279 better you have to actually stop it could I stop you if I tried nope 00:12:56.540 --> 00:13:03.480 well I for one am excited what are we using for a rep 00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:08.160 really that loopy little thing yeah this is our radiator yeah and that's a 00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:12.600 reservoir it's really cheap oh you realize how much bigger this is than the 00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:17.100 reservoir that was in the AIO that's true yeah it is infinitely bigger than 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 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 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:27.260 your uncle faster than I'm doing what I'm doing right now magnet 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.540 uh why did it have to be flesh colored 00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:39.240 too bad we don't have the only fans anymore 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:43.019 freaking hey that like is not bad though 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:45.959 guys like for realsies not bad it 00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:50.339 actually looks like industrial yeah I'm bringing the radiator down to the pump 00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:55.800 which I just need to get repositioned so that the inlet has access to what's 00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:57.959 coming off of the uh Reservoir I just 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 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 00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:11.100 on the side of a little bit longer okay then 00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:16.920 this bad boy has to go over this Barb or we are boned 00:14:14.420 --> 00:14:21.540 oh look at that perfect actually that's that's a genius 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 00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:30.360 school freaking water cooling guys we are doing it I'm actually feeling really 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.959 good now this has been a bit of a discouraging project up until now 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:41.639 other than the first bit where things were going really well and I jinxed it 00:14:37.079 --> 00:14:43.079 oh man we got this question select Kyle 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 00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:50.040 worry Kyle everything's going to be okay 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 00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:58.860 right now look at this now we have 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 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 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 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 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:17.040 short tell me when just like look at it and 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:21.060 cut it in the right spot you're a smart guy okay sure 00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:25.320 you should make educational videos Alex it's like a gift ah do you have those 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:28.680 scissors what are you doing cutting it oh my goodness okay can I have that 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:34.920 please no not that that's the sixth 00:15:31.380 --> 00:15:37.740 what do you want oh can I have that the 00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:43.019 tubing kind of looks that can you be less of a downer clear 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:46.920 black different kind of black luckily the same color black is this black oh 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 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 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 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 00:16:00.180 --> 00:16:05.339 the scissors which are these how many times did I say scissors editor uh do 00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:09.959 you have those scissors okay can I have that please hey look at this though guys 00:16:09.959 --> 00:16:16.279 we're freaking installed I want to see some performance out of this thing 00:16:17.579 --> 00:16:23.160 that pump is freaking going though hey that Pub is pretty ridiculous I'm pretty 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 00:16:25.199 --> 00:16:28.940 don't turn it off whatever you do this 00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:40.019 oh no the block the good news 00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:44.000 is that the computer is not powered on which means everything should be alive 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 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 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:59.519 this in uh oh I found some of your um 00:16:57.540 --> 00:17:04.020 radiator schmoo oh yeah that's a pretty gross I know the problem look 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 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 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 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:22.079 that's not turning back on today all right no problem guys we might have got 00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:26.459 away with one the heatsink for the SSD is very wet 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 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:34.440 a GPU block you are still not that far 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 00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:44.820 maybe 40 bucks inch yeah that's the upgradability of a custom Loop yeah and 00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:47.640 your sanity don't worry about that 00:17:44.820 --> 00:17:52.380 new GPU upgrading all right are you ready 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.679 I'm ready do it 00:17:55.679 --> 00:18:01.140 is okay we're good that was the problem 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:04.679 missing clear o-ring that's fine 00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:09.120 okay hit me with another thank you so much good sir 00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:13.380 the motherboard is very clean now especially the 490s very cleanly washed 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:19.080 it can I have some side Cutters you mean Flush Cutters I mean a thingy 00:18:15.539 --> 00:18:24.020 pass me that okay 00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:24.020 let's do it let's do it you ready yep 00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:29.400 there's a lot of air bubbles in there that's okay because we have the 00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:32.880 reservoir right above the pump and because we have the fittings for the 00:18:31.020 --> 00:18:37.200 radiator at the top the bubbles have nowhere to get stuck so 00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:42.900 they'll this will bleed extremely quickly it's a submersible pump so they tend not 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 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 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 00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:01.260 wrong button it's probably Knocked Up 00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:04.860 come on baby I haven't checked anything else 24 pin 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 00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:09.980 are we up we did it 00:19:10.620 --> 00:19:19.860 yeah Jank water cooling save 50 bucks 00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:21.720 we did yep well minus the GPU 00:19:19.860 --> 00:19:27.539 this is moving yeah that's on finishing touches it 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:33.900 actually looks pretty fine from the front 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:37.559 that classic blue LED 120 mil fan look 00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:39.780 though all right in summary then we 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:44.760 probably downgraded our radiator a little bit more surface area from the 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:49.559 front tends to be better than more thickness overall plus these are 00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:55.799 probably better fans than what we put on this but we upgraded our block our pump 00:19:53.100 --> 00:20:01.200 is probably fine we actually have a reservoir now at all and we did it for 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:04.559 50 60 bucks less so we could have splurged for premium 00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:09.960 fans and we would still have a system that is upgradable that we can grow into 00:20:07.320 --> 00:20:13.799 we will upgrade the fan but what we're looking for here the biggest thing is 00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:18.120 CPU package power I'm guessing this is going to hit 95 degrees because AMD 00:20:15.419 --> 00:20:24.240 targets that yeah but if this drops below about 184 Watts we're doing worse 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 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 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 00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:43.940 only are we winning we are super windy yes but we also blew the budget with 00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:43.940 that GPU block so 00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:53.100 are you hitting it okay CPU 00:20:49.100 --> 00:20:55.380 85 90. yeah so we have 200 watts can we 00:20:53.100 --> 00:20:58.980 sustain it you're not hitting the GPU are you no no that would be pretty 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 00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:06.720 restriction in the loop from having to push water through an additional block I 00:21:04.919 --> 00:21:12.600 think that we're still already ahead of the AIO really yeah that actually makes 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:14.880 sense because aios use extremely 00:21:12.600 --> 00:21:18.780 rudimentary cold plates so that's your bottleneck rather than 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 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 00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:32.400 effective oh we're down to 92. what 00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:34.799 192. yeah 190. that's still more 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:39.600 no 192 is kind of like where it liked hanging out before okay 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 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.460 be pulling it back is like the vrms and 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 00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:57.539 upgradable should we upgrade it oh God 00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:59.100 if you must I I think we just do it 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 00:22:01.020 --> 00:22:06.780 it can we yeah no way okay let's put 00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:11.280 some real airflow on this thing if you're finding yourself asking 00:22:09.419 --> 00:22:13.620 did I just watch just know that you're not alone there are other people like 00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:19.080 you and they all shop at lttstore.com all 00:22:17.159 --> 00:22:21.200 right okay I'll be good I think we're good 00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:28.559 okay hold on can I just yeah it's great 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:31.700 great is a strong if it takes off just get out of the way okay 00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:37.200 what can possibly go this is basically like driving down the highway at 100 00:22:35.280 --> 00:22:42.840 miles an hour we're up from 180 to 187 00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:46.559 . this is moving some heat out of that heater core boys 188. 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:53.460 189. oh my 190. 00:22:54.659 --> 00:23:00.900 all you need is the right fan configuration 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 00:23:03.780 --> 00:23:13.260 fast enough that the LEDs turned on I gotta confess I'm actually a little 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:15.600 surprised that the heater core method is 00:23:13.260 --> 00:23:20.220 still a viable option for PC water cooling 00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:22.280 oh yeah it's great to be clear there are 00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:27.240 more economical ways you could use proper PC water cooling parts to beat an 00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:31.200 AIO and maybe that'd be a good idea for a follow-up video oh yeah you don't have 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:36.480 to buy your radiator from the most premium Brands like EK there are more 00:23:33.659 -->

00:24:37.620 Alex and I tried to do this but ended up 00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:43.640 with a radiator instead of a heater core oh that was so good 00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:43.640 class one of our worst videos the best
