00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.280
has this ever happened to you well no fear because leak Shield is here stop

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:10.759
leaks of all kinds anywhere anytime even

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:17.119
helps you fill and bleed your loops and at an incredible value whoa whoa whoa

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

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:28.400
helps me bleed out all the air bubbles detects leaks stops leaks and gives me a

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.960
whole bunch of other information about my water cooling system

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

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:42.879
have to tell you about our sponsor MSI's npg z590 gaming Force motherboard Sports

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

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:49.600
check it out at the link down

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.359
below because of the outlandishness of this product's claims we needed not one

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

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:13.799
monitor all the sensors and a second one to sit here and look pretty with

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:20.560
absolutely no power running to any of the components just in case the leak

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.240
Shield is more of a leak leak before we

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.759
run it though let's take a closer look at it it's pretty straightforward

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:32.159
honestly you've got a little display in the front a simple menu interface with

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.280
this button right here okay so you got short presses and long presses we'll

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:41.680
show you that a little bit later you've got your inputs for power and sensors

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.640
and then on the bottom ah yes this

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.240
membrane very interesting it's appropriately labeled do not touch

00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:53.280
because any damage or tampering with this membrane turns your leak shield

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:56.000
into a paper weight its function is to

00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:01.079
allow the leag shield to draw air out of your system creating a state of negative

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.840
pressure not so much that if it sprang a leak you would actually suck air into

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:11.280
the system but just enough to put it in a state of equilibrium so that water

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.560
won't come out and air won't go in in

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.200
order to achieve this it uses a wide array of parameters that it collects

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:21.319
either through software or through Hardware that allow it to monitor

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:27.840
pressure The Fill level any pressure changes any volume changes pump speed

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

00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:38.120
how bad the leak is and respond accordingly oh oh right right sorry and

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.480
it has RGB but not in a stupid way this

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:46.800
ring actually indicates the status of your system so it's like useful RGB

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:51.680
you're saying all RGB isn't useful no I'm

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:56.840
yes so how to hook it up basically there's only two connectors on the leak

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:58.360
Shield there's a five pin so this is USB

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.319
and you can either run to an internal header on your motherboard like we did

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:07.080
or you can actually power it with a battery Bank using an external USB type

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:10.680
A if you wanted your leak Shield to be running say well you're transporting

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

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

00:03:15.799 --> 00:03:21.440
separately and it allows the leak Shield to Hardware power down your system in

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

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.159
because the leak Shield can do that through software of course before we

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

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:40.920
ahead and open up the menu here and we go

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:40.920
to test and

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:47.120
test trippy

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

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

00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.480
the system so there we go we're at

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:04.760
26.3 milar now it's normal for even a watertight

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:08.720
water cooling system to leak a little bit of air you just want to make sure

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:12.480
it's not too much so Aqua computer recommends leaving the leak Shield

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

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:24.840
the pressure is doing over time by just long pressing to get into this menu here

00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:26.440
and there it is there is our pressure

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:31.360
graph if that's flat then that's that I opened up this

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

00:04:34.039 --> 00:04:39.120
for our next trick fill mode that's

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:44.880
right pouring water in the top of your Reservoir that's for non-league shield

00:04:41.479 --> 00:04:47.479
peasants apparently now so we're in fill

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:52.440
mode we throw some water in our funnel here LTT

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.479
store.com got the water bottle and then I'm going to open up this

00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:02.199
valve and the leak Shield starts sucking

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:08.280
water into the loop oh top it up how did it go self filling Reservoir

00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:12.000
now something to not is you don't actually want the leag shield completely

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

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

00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:25.160
system including our pump and we are going to put the leak shield in De

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

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

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:37.880
sensor just about at 100% fill level 73%

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:45.400
look at that trippy I mean looks about right to me

00:05:41.479 --> 00:05:49.520
and we are ready to go into Shield

00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:52.840
mode boom Now All That

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:55.680
Remains is to start putting holes in the

00:05:52.840 --> 00:06:01.440
system leak protection protected we should be good to go let's start causing

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

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

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

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

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.919
don't know put some pressure on the tube oh god oh

00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:33.639
cool it totally did it

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.639
leakage high pressure

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:41.199
drop I mean it's bone dry

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.319
though oops Yeah I should really tighten

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:51.000
these fittings no water though whoa we're all

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.000
over the place here ladies and

00:06:54.039 --> 00:07:02.240
gentlemen warning warning critical leakage oh I wonder why

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:06.720
maybe because the user's an idiot got him it's time to take things

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:11.520
to the next level aquac computer marketing for this product says that you

00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:18.520
can just put holes in your tubing and the leak Shield will not leak water

00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:20.319
I so um here we go I don't know if I can

00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:24.879
do it it feels wrong

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:36.440
Jesus Christ L now that's

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:42.240
interesting with the drill bit sticking through it okay yeah it leaked a bit but

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.479
look at that it is not leaking you went

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:51.800
straight through it too damn leak Shield you crazy but why

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:51.800
have two holes when you can have three

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.280
holes okay three holes is too much

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

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.280
and now what I can only I can I only

00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:14.759
have two thumbs continuing this video's theme of pushing the product to its

00:08:12.599 --> 00:08:18.440
limits Aqua computer recommends a few things for the leag shield one is that

00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:22.319
you use their Reservoir and pump combo two is that you use their coolant and

00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:26.120
three is that you use Hardline tubing which obviously helps when you're trying

00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:30.120
to precisely maintain the pressure inside a loop we're going to be breaking

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:34.680
that last Rule now if you're going to use softline tubing they do specify

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

00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:42.640
have the exact measurements of tubing that you can use on their website we're

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

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:49.000
course it's slicey slicey

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

00:08:57.800 --> 00:09:04.560
I need some tape hold on we're going to fix the

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:12.720
loop okay oh I'm so clumsy just got to

00:09:09.560 --> 00:09:14.959
fix my tubing here there we go oh you're

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:17.440
all better now buddy oh good Heavens I slipped

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:25.040
again oh no we got to fix it again there

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:26.440
we go there we go all fixed all fixed

00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:31.720
you know with the leak shield in my system I might actually trust duct tape

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.720
tubing some

00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:36.480
ideas got some more

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.399
ideas come on leak Shield do your

00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:50.760
worst that's a big one you can't Shield my

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:53.920
leaks actually a lot of these are uh not

00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:58.040
really even leaking that's why they say

00:09:53.920 --> 00:10:02.320
always twist never stab we got one drop

00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:04.839
that is darn impressive one

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:09.160
drop of course it's entirely possible the leak Shield isn't doing anything and

00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:14.360
if we turned it off the system would still not leak we can test that I

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:19.320
release you leak Shield I actually put this fitting back

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

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

00:10:26.920 --> 00:10:32.760
why they say always quickly remove a

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:38.279
stabbing Implement okay when the moment comes it's going to be really cool okay

00:10:34.959 --> 00:10:42.959
here we go come on leak shield look at

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:44.279
that stop and sucks it back in now you

00:10:42.959 --> 00:10:48.920
have to configure the leak Shield through software at least once but

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.839
beyond that you actually don't need anything running for it to perform these

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:57.000
basic functions it does do way more if you have an ITA 64 license for example

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

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:04.360
and there's all kinds of cool things you can configure like your alarm thresholds

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

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

00:11:09.959 --> 00:11:18.000
connected to the computer via USB which is darn impressive now should you buy it

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:22.560
well it's not the most economical way to test your Loop a couple paper towels

00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:26.320
costs pennies and if you want to go a little more sophisticated than that EK

00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:31.040
has a pump pressure tester that costs about 40 bucks but in terms of on

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:35.000
ongoing peace of mind or if you're transporting your system or if you

00:11:33.160 --> 00:11:39.480
experience huge temperature swings that actually can cause pressure inside your

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

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:49.800
like it absolutely nothing else like it just like there's nothing else like my

00:11:47.079 --> 00:11:54.600
Segways to sponsors like Corsair thanks Corsair for sponsoring today's video

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:56.399

00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:22.279
crazy water cooling experiments why don't we throw back to why don't you go

00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:25.399
watch whole room water cooling what a great project that was we went and put

00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:32.399
radiators on the roof of the house we used to work out of it was a nightmare

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.399
did work though
