1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,280
has this ever happened to you well no fear because leak Shield is here stop

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,759
leaks of all kinds anywhere anytime even

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:17,119
helps you fill and bleed your loops and at an incredible value whoa whoa whoa

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:22,640
hold on a second you're telling me this thing right here fills my Loop for me

5
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:28,400
helps me bleed out all the air bubbles detects leaks stops leaks and gives me a

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,960
whole bunch of other information about my water cooling system

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,760
okay we're we're going to we're going to have to test that out and we're going to

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,879
have to tell you about our sponsor MSI's npg z590 gaming Force motherboard Sports

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:49,600
10th and 11th gen Intel Core CPUs up to 53 33 MHz memory RGB and a lot more

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,600
check it out at the link down

11
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,359
below because of the outlandishness of this product's claims we needed not one

12
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:08,960
but two test systems in order to try it out one to actually plug it into and

13
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,799
monitor all the sensors and a second one to sit here and look pretty with

14
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:20,560
absolutely no power running to any of the components just in case the leak

15
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Shield is more of a leak leak before we

16
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,759
run it though let's take a closer look at it it's pretty straightforward

17
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:32,159
honestly you've got a little display in the front a simple menu interface with

18
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,280
this button right here okay so you got short presses and long presses we'll

19
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:41,680
show you that a little bit later you've got your inputs for power and sensors

20
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,640
and then on the bottom ah yes this

21
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,240
membrane very interesting it's appropriately labeled do not touch

22
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:53,280
because any damage or tampering with this membrane turns your leak shield

23
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:56,000
into a paper weight its function is to

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:01,079
allow the leag shield to draw air out of your system creating a state of negative

25
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:05,840
pressure not so much that if it sprang a leak you would actually suck air into

26
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:11,280
the system but just enough to put it in a state of equilibrium so that water

27
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,560
won't come out and air won't go in in

28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,200
order to achieve this it uses a wide array of parameters that it collects

29
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,319
either through software or through Hardware that allow it to monitor

30
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:27,840
pressure The Fill level any pressure changes any volume changes pump speed

31
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:32,080
and flow so the idea is that not only will it know if you have a leak it'll

32
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:38,120
how bad the leak is and respond accordingly oh oh right right sorry and

33
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,480
it has RGB but not in a stupid way this

34
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:46,800
ring actually indicates the status of your system so it's like useful RGB

35
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:51,680
you're saying all RGB isn't useful no I'm

36
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:56,840
yes so how to hook it up basically there's only two connectors on the leak

37
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,360
Shield there's a five pin so this is USB

38
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,319
and you can either run to an internal header on your motherboard like we did

39
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:07,080
or you can actually power it with a battery Bank using an external USB type

40
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,680
A if you wanted your leak Shield to be running say well you're transporting

41
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:14,200
your system in your car to a land party or something like that bit of an each

42
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,599
use case but hey there you go and then there's a second one this one is sold

43
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:21,440
separately and it allows the leak Shield to Hardware power down your system in

44
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:24,519
the event that it detects a leak which is pretty sweet we don't need it though

45
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,159
because the leak Shield can do that through software of course before we

46
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,680
even fill it the leak Shield can tell us if our system is watertight so let's go

47
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:40,920
ahead and open up the menu here and we go

48
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,920
to test and

49
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,120
test trippy

50
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:52,079
hey it's pressurizing the system right now it's kind of loud but that doesn't

51
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:58,079
go all the time that's only while it is drawing air into or pulling air out of

52
00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:00,480
the system so there we go we're at

53
00:03:58,079 --> 00:04:04,760
26.3 milar now it's normal for even a watertight

54
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,720
water cooling system to leak a little bit of air you just want to make sure

55
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:12,480
it's not too much so Aqua computer recommends leaving the leak Shield

56
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:17,000
monitoring the system for a few minutes at least and you can have a look at how

57
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:24,840
the pressure is doing over time by just long pressing to get into this menu here

58
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,440
and there it is there is our pressure

59
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:31,360
graph if that's flat then that's that I opened up this

60
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:37,080
valve to show you what the graph looks like if air is leaking out now it's time

61
00:04:34,039 --> 00:04:39,120
for our next trick fill mode that's

62
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:44,880
right pouring water in the top of your Reservoir that's for non-league shield

63
00:04:41,479 --> 00:04:47,479
peasants apparently now so we're in fill

64
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:52,440
mode we throw some water in our funnel here LTT

65
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,479
store.com got the water bottle and then I'm going to open up this

66
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:02,199
valve and the leak Shield starts sucking

67
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:08,280
water into the loop oh top it up how did it go self filling Reservoir

68
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,000
now something to not is you don't actually want the leag shield completely

69
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,680
full it needs a little bit of air at the top in order to function cuz remember

70
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,280
the membrane and the air now that we filled we can go ahead and Power on our

71
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:25,160
system including our pump and we are going to put the leak shield in De

72
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,759
eration mode I mean it really didn't end up with any air in it because our tubes

73
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:36,039
kind of had some water in them before now it's time to run our fill level

74
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:37,880
sensor just about at 100% fill level 73%

75
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:45,400
look at that trippy I mean looks about right to me

76
00:05:41,479 --> 00:05:49,520
and we are ready to go into Shield

77
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:52,840
mode boom Now All That

78
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Remains is to start putting holes in the

79
00:05:52,840 --> 00:06:01,440
system leak protection protected we should be good to go let's start causing

80
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:06,680
problems so let's say you forgot to tighten one of the collar on one of your

81
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,280
tubes or all of the collar on all of your tubes I don't know you're just

82
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:15,599
you're a scatter brain you know what I mean you just you just kind of you threw

83
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:22,080
those tubes in there and you're like ah whatever who cares so then you like I

84
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,919
don't know put some pressure on the tube oh god oh

85
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:33,639
cool it totally did it

86
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,639
leakage high pressure

87
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:41,199
drop I mean it's bone dry

88
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,319
though oops Yeah I should really tighten

89
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:51,000
these fittings no water though whoa we're all

90
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,000
over the place here ladies and

91
00:06:54,039 --> 00:07:02,240
gentlemen warning warning critical leakage oh I wonder why

92
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,720
maybe because the user's an idiot got him it's time to take things

93
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,520
to the next level aquac computer marketing for this product says that you

94
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:18,520
can just put holes in your tubing and the leak Shield will not leak water

95
00:07:14,919 --> 00:07:20,319
I so um here we go I don't know if I can

96
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,879
do it it feels wrong

97
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,440
Jesus Christ L now that's

98
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:42,240
interesting with the drill bit sticking through it okay yeah it leaked a bit but

99
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,479
look at that it is not leaking you went

100
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:51,800
straight through it too damn leak Shield you crazy but why

101
00:07:48,159 --> 00:07:51,800
have two holes when you can have three

102
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,280
holes okay three holes is too much

103
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:08,440
so you can see the more holes you have in the tubing the more water leaks out

104
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:11,280
and now what I can only I can I only

105
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,759
have two thumbs continuing this video's theme of pushing the product to its

106
00:08:12,599 --> 00:08:18,440
limits Aqua computer recommends a few things for the leag shield one is that

107
00:08:16,159 --> 00:08:22,319
you use their Reservoir and pump combo two is that you use their coolant and

108
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,120
three is that you use Hardline tubing which obviously helps when you're trying

109
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:30,120
to precisely maintain the pressure inside a loop we're going to be breaking

110
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:34,680
that last Rule now if you're going to use softline tubing they do specify

111
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:38,279
you've got to use thick wall rather than thin wall tubing and they're going to

112
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:42,640
have the exact measurements of tubing that you can use on their website we're

113
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:49,000
using thick wall tubing and we're going to have some fun after we fill it of

114
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,000
course it's slicey slicey

115
00:08:52,399 --> 00:09:00,680
time it's a little startling that's okay we can fix this hold on we can fix this

116
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,560
I need some tape hold on we're going to fix the

117
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:12,720
loop okay oh I'm so clumsy just got to

118
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,959
fix my tubing here there we go oh you're

119
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,440
all better now buddy oh good Heavens I slipped

120
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:25,040
again oh no we got to fix it again there

121
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,440
we go there we go all fixed all fixed

122
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:31,720
you know with the leak shield in my system I might actually trust duct tape

123
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,720
tubing some

124
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,480
ideas got some more

125
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,399
ideas come on leak Shield do your

126
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:50,760
worst that's a big one you can't Shield my

127
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,920
leaks actually a lot of these are uh not

128
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:58,040
really even leaking that's why they say

129
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:02,320
always twist never stab we got one drop

130
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,839
that is darn impressive one

131
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:09,160
drop of course it's entirely possible the leak Shield isn't doing anything and

132
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:14,360
if we turned it off the system would still not leak we can test that I

133
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:19,320
release you leak Shield I actually put this fitting back

134
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:24,600
in before this demo cuz I didn't want to why did you do that well I didn't

135
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:30,240
think it would spray quite that hard ah there we go put the knife back in that's

136
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,760
why they say always quickly remove a

137
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:38,279
stabbing Implement okay when the moment comes it's going to be really cool okay

138
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:42,959
here we go come on leak shield look at

139
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:44,279
that stop and sucks it back in now you

140
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:48,920
have to configure the leak Shield through software at least once but

141
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,839
beyond that you actually don't need anything running for it to perform these

142
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:57,000
basic functions it does do way more if you have an ITA 64 license for example

143
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,120
it can tap into that you can connect it to your pump so it gets data from that

144
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,360
and there's all kinds of cool things you can configure like your alarm thresholds

145
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,839
and all kinds of neat stuff like that but at the end of the day this is what

146
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:12,040
people are buying it for this peace of mind and it can do it without even being

147
00:11:09,959 --> 00:11:18,000
connected to the computer via USB which is darn impressive now should you buy it

148
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:22,560
well it's not the most economical way to test your Loop a couple paper towels

149
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,320
costs pennies and if you want to go a little more sophisticated than that EK

150
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:31,040
has a pump pressure tester that costs about 40 bucks but in terms of on

151
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:35,000
ongoing peace of mind or if you're transporting your system or if you

152
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:39,480
experience huge temperature swings that actually can cause pressure inside your

153
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:45,279
tubing I I don't know O-rings can wear out over time there's just nothing else

154
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:49,800
like it absolutely nothing else like it just like there's nothing else like my

155
00:11:47,079 --> 00:11:54,600
Segways to sponsors like Corsair thanks Corsair for sponsoring today's video

156
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,399
they're featuring their iq7x RGB full

crazy water cooling experiments why don't we throw back to why don't you go

163
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,399
