1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,559
now I know what you're thinking a custom liquid cooling Loop for less than an AO

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:12,360
cooler clickbait clickbait not true but

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,640
wait no it's true for

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,359
$522 with prime shipping on

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:24,160
amazon.com I obtained everything I will need to build a custom water cooling

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:28,760
Loop for my CPU now what kind of Hardware did he find for that kind of a

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:33,100
price that's a great question and I'm going to show you this is going to be a

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:38,040
good

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,480
one verar ergonomic s and plus lines of

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,079
Gaming Chairs make for a great addition to any gaming setup check them out at

11
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,120
the link in the video description okay let's run through what

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,440
we got here now I'm going to tell you guys right off the Hop that shopping for

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,399
these was not particularly easy the AGP

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:09,119
Tech 12 pipe aluminum heat exchanger radiator for PC for example did not even

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,360
include the specs of what size the barbs

16
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:13,920
are and actually looking at the picture

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,040
telling the difference between qu in and 38 inch barbs is not that easy but uh

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,159
Hey for $16.99 I'm feeling pretty good about

19
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:29,040
this purchase all right next up is the pump

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:32,040
this is not what was in the picture so

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,840
if this works then great it's rated at

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:39,520
240 lers per hour flow with three meters of Max Head theoretically plenty no

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:45,880
connector or anything but we'll we'll solve that problem later and finally the

24
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:51,799
centerpiece of my water cooling Loop this thing same thing man Amazon needs

25
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,960
like a like a like a scale next to

26
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:57,799
pictures on their site because look at this look at this product page looks

27
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:04,640
pretty big right in person the length pure red

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,759
copper water cooling block for CPU Graphics radiator heat sink 40x40

29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,920
millimet which I guess should have tipped me off is this dinky little thing

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,400
before we get started there are a few more things that we need so first of all

31
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:21,879
I scrunched up some tubing a mixture of 1/4 in and 38 this can be obtained very

32
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:28,840
cheaply so it doesn't affect the price of our setup much and a couple of 38 to4

33
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,239
in reducers as well as a 3/8 in Te

34
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,959
because we don't want to waste money on a budget project like this on a

35
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,519
dedicated Reservoir we'll show you how to use that later next up we'll need our

36
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:47,519
soldering iron why is the sponge missing for this why why we will need our drill

37
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,159
we'll need a sacrificial Molex connector a sacrificial case side panel and we'll

38
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:56,360
need some screws along with anything else that I realize that I've forgotten

39
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:01,560
along the way is there any PC that's not totally miss the wano

40
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:04,959
PC I'll use my Franken cooling Solution

41
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,959
on the wancho PC so in order to do that

42
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:12,560
we will need a baseline reading for the temperatures with the Noctua NH

43
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:16,920
something D9 L that's in there right now NH D9 whatever the cooler that's in

44
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:22,599
there right now to compare against our custom liquid cooler so check this

45
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:29,780
out 61° on the CPU let's see if we can beat that shall

46
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:32,969
we I'm back one step and a half more

47
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:42,200
every time I'm outside your front

48
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:45,000
door our $25 special does not come with

49
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,959
any mounting hardware whatsoever we're going to need a hold down plate it's

50
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:54,560
going to be the ghetto sort in case any of you were wondering we're going to Center this baby by eyeball we're going

51
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:01,159
to find a bit let big enough for these babies to come

52
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:04,720
through oh oh the eyeball in it system

53
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:08,200
works again I mean it's like if uh it's

54
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,200
like if art was more

55
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,120
beautiful where my screws

56
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:25,080
go 832 832

57
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:30,880
832 washers or

58
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:33,759
or stick with me here a zillion washer

59
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:38,880
one zillion washers now presumably you could find like some plastic junk or you

60
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:45,039
could use a proper length screw and that would solve this problem for you

61
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:49,360
but I am nothing if not willing to do things entirely the wrong way for

62
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:55,479
the sake of finishing this video right now that was probably a lot of thermal

63
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,440
compound oh yeah 20 washers right there

64
00:04:55,479 --> 00:05:02,400
20 Ro washers is a magic number arguably

65
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:09,280
this is a bit of a hack for me to say the cost is $52 and and whatever because

66
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:14,840
I did not factor in the cost of a fan for the radiator but I also don't think

67
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:20,759
it's an entirely unfair assumption that if you have a computer it probably has a

68
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,840
120 mm fan in it somewhere so we're

69
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:28,880
going to repurpose the one that's in the case I don't even think the product page

70
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,160
specified that this was a 120 mm

71
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,240
radiator but it would appear as though the spacing is

72
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:41,479
correct nice that looks legit right so when

73
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:46,080
you're using a crappy pump it's more

74
00:05:41,479 --> 00:05:48,520
important to uh carefully plan out the

75
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,120
position of everything within the loop so that you're able to bleed the air

76
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:58,720
bubbles out because a super powerful pump will just blow them through um but

77
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,960
a crappy one will not be able to do that

78
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:07,120
now the reason I chose this pump had

79
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:09,759
everything to do with placement and size

80
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:14,520
nothing to do with cost which if you remember from the intro of this video is

81
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,840
an outright lie let's keep it really simple not drill any more holes and

82
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:23,400
let's mount it on the bottom right here so next order of business is we need

83
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:27,800
some kind of PC compatible connector on our pump cuz it just straight up doesn't

84
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,479
come with one because whatever right only all kinds of stripping were this

85
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,280
easy I wouldn't have to make YouTube videos that's the key to good stripping

86
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,000
use your

87
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,759
teeth okay couple minutes later boom Molex

88
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:57,919
connector there we go pump's powered the radiator is 3/8 in

89
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:01,280
so that's where I need to use wait a

90
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:03,319
minute oh well

91
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:12,199
I was just saying we needed a snag it is not 38

92
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:15,720
in it's like a really ginormous quarter

93
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:18,720
inch which is actually terrible because

94
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,599
my 1/ quter inch tubing is super old and

95
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:27,560
was not particularly pliable in the first place okay

96
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:30,280
fortunately I have this norprene tubing

97
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:34,599
that I ripped off of some Swift Tech thing a long time

98
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:40,960
ago sh so positioning of the tline very

99
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:45,680
important because when we fill it we want it to go straight down to the inlet

100
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:52,440
of the pump and when there are air bubbles we want them to make their way

101
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,840
out so it has to be at the highest point is in the loop actually up here might

102
00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:00,879
have been a little bit better but we're not going to stress about these minor Minor Details keep in mind that normally

103
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:07,000
would put zip ties on these barbs but this is a very

104
00:08:05,159 --> 00:08:11,479
shortterm solution so I'm not going to bother I would also normally cut this

105
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,080
tubing to a reasonable length but this is expensive tubing and so I'm going to

106
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:21,960
save it so let's go ahead and

107
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:26,879
uh let some of that water work its way into the system here so I think I'm

108
00:08:24,159 --> 00:08:32,839
about to have a bit of a bit of a witness me moment here

109
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:38,039
um because this is quite possibly the jankiest thing I have ever done on

110
00:08:35,479 --> 00:08:40,240
lineus Tech tips what you guys are about to

111
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:50,920
see I need a faster way to do this not a recommended way a faster

112
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:55,080
way so we are going

113
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:58,120
to put this computer on or do something

114
00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,760
like this and actually this was a

115
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:05,120
mistake I me everything about this was a mistake but this in particular filling

116
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:09,440
the glass that was a mistake oh that's why I wanted the glass

117
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:15,959
full now I remember thinking thinking it doesn't look like

118
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:20,880
I'm thinking but I assure you I am oh no

119
00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:23,760
no no no no no okay okay we're good

120
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,360
theoretically it is now full it's loud as all hell but uh I realized why we

121
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,399
probably have a post code there's no graphics card in there so like we could

122
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:36,360
still get away with this we're going to have to give it some

123
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:39,760
time but this is looking very promising

124
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:43,440
it might be loud it might be janky and

125
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:46,200
it might be ugly but damn it it

126
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:55,399
outperforms a decent aftermarket cooler coming in a whopping 5° cooler after an

127
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:57,120
extended stress FPU load in Ida 64 so

128
00:09:55,399 --> 00:10:01,839
thank you guys for coming along for the ride whether you believed in me from the

you're done doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next so hey hey it's been a long time since we

150
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:36,680
did this so maybe check out whole room water cooling if you haven't uh had

151
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:40,839
enough of me jenly trying to water cool things for today
