kidding","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":140.959,"end_s":146.959,"text":"but i do need a vacuum hi","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":144.72,"end_s":151.28,"text":"i legitimately hadn't really given a lot of thought to where to start with this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":149.04,"end_s":154.72,"text":"so one thing i did think of was that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":152.4,"end_s":160.08,"text":"it would be good to be able to pull these up to drain the loop","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":158.239,"end_s":164.48,"text":"i don't know if i ended up actually leaving enough slack","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":162.0,"end_s":168.48,"text":"i take kind of a yolo approach to water cooling maintenance","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":166.72,"end_s":171.2,"text":"so you might as well get as much adrenaline pumping during that time as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":170.239,"end_s":176.239,"text":"you can alright so this is a little bit tricky","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":174.0,"end_s":181.28,"text":"because what we don't want is any water on our mdf desk it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":179.599,"end_s":186.8,"text":"painted and that does help us out a fair bit but it is still sub-optimal","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":184.8,"end_s":192.239,"text":"to get water on it it'll swell up and basically get","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":189.2,"end_s":192.239,"text":"immediately ruined","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":194.64,"end_s":205.379,"text":"all right now this is a bit of a hack","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":206.319,"end_s":212.4,"text":"now normally i wouldn't recommend blowing into a water cooling loop","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":209.68,"end_s":215.2,"text":"because you introduce all kinds of you know microorganisms and stuff in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":214.08,"end_s":219.12,"text":"your breath um but the reason that we don't care","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":217.28,"end_s":223.12,"text":"here is that we are about to clean everything anyway so it's not a big deal","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":221.2,"end_s":226.959,"text":"how would you if you were to blow into it um you would just have to open up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":225.36,"end_s":230.08,"text":"somewhere open up the highest point of the loop and then drain at the lowest","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":229.04,"end_s":234.319,"text":"point in the loop and then the whole thing should just kind of drain on its own but you'd have to kind of carefully","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":233.04,"end_s":238.08,"text":"plan your loop in order for that kind of a strategy to work and we didn't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":236.4,"end_s":243.12,"text":"because this loop was more planned for looks and less planned for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":241.2,"end_s":246.56,"text":"so that we can maintain it properly all right so the adventure just got a little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":244.879,"end_s":251.2,"text":"bit more interesting here this pump that i'm pulling out right now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":248.959,"end_s":257.84,"text":"this one's fine but if you have a look at the inlet of the other one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":253.599,"end_s":260.16,"text":"there's actually a bunch of micro cracks","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":257.84,"end_s":264.16,"text":"where the fitting goes in check this out this is very","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":261.759,"end_s":269.84,"text":"disappointing because it's clearly not leaking now it looks like we might have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":266.4,"end_s":269.84,"text":"to replace this pump","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":270.32,"end_s":276.24,"text":"holy crap this might be a problem i can't even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":274.479,"end_s":281.04,"text":"i can't even take apart the first thing that i'm pulling out of here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.4,"end_s":287.44,"text":"oh good all right one down","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":284.72,"end_s":293.12,"text":"there's a reason that most water cooling manufacturers use delrin or acetal","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":291.84,"end_s":298.32,"text":"anywhere where you're going to thread in a fitting rather than plexi like this and the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":296.08,"end_s":301.6,"text":"reason that it is more prone to cracking and additionally","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":300.08,"end_s":304.639,"text":"plexi is kind of sucky to clean because you can't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":303.28,"end_s":310.68,"text":"really use um solvents like isopropyl alcohol on it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.12,"end_s":310.68,"text":"you got to be very careful","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":313.6,"end_s":319.919,"text":"so the fittings we can just go at with some rubbing alcohol and an old","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":317.919,"end_s":324.32,"text":"toothbrush and then one of these","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":321.28,"end_s":325.84,"text":"handy dandy pipe cleaners","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":324.32,"end_s":330.56,"text":"and for this guy we just want to use","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":328.08,"end_s":335.12,"text":"we'll start with just our scrap water just to get some of the gunk off of it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":335.12,"end_s":340.88,"text":"so for my next trick i'm going to be replacing the pwm","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":339.28,"end_s":344.4,"text":"versions of this pump that i have in there these are great","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":342.479,"end_s":349.84,"text":"if you don't cut off the pwm lead","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":347.039,"end_s":353.28,"text":"like we did when we were installing it and i'm going to replace them with the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":351.36,"end_s":359.6,"text":"older regular dc control with a little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":356.8,"end_s":363.44,"text":"knob on the back so i'm actually ending up with a double whammy of work here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":361.44,"end_s":368.08,"text":"because i got to clean this before i put it away","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":364.72,"end_s":370.88,"text":"and i definitely have to clean this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":368.08,"end_s":373.36,"text":"before i use it that is supposed to look like that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":374.24,"end_s":378.72,"text":"okay alcohol seems to be working a little bit better i don't mind if the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":377.28,"end_s":382.56,"text":"metal is stained but i do need to get the bulk of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.56,"end_s":385.28,"text":"actual sediment that's built up on it off","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":384.0,"end_s":387.759,"text":"uh this is going to be a bit more challenging","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":388.4,"end_s":395.68,"text":"oh crap i think i just ruined this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":393.44,"end_s":398.24,"text":"it's an impeller it's a magnet i just touched steel wool on it it's all over","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":397.44,"end_s":402.479,"text":"it i am going to pull the one from the other pump","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":405.68,"end_s":412.88,"text":"got two pumps and one reservoir done","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":410.24,"end_s":416.08,"text":"the reservoirs are permanently stained from having an air bubble","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":416.319,"end_s":423.84,"text":"get me to eat it no you had a moment where you thought i","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":420.16,"end_s":423.84,"text":"might actually do it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":424.24,"end_s":429.919,"text":"yeah i should try and get this off reservoir is done","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.039,"end_s":434.479,"text":"let's go find out if we have any tubing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":435.12,"end_s":442.16,"text":"oh this is not a good sign not if i want to maintain the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":439.759,"end_s":446.96,"text":"white and black color scheme anyway i just need a really long","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":444.639,"end_s":449.199,"text":"stiff object sorry i had something caught in my eye","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":448.4,"end_s":455.599,"text":"there on unfortunately no not a meter stick this time it has to be thinner for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":453.039,"end_s":459.199,"text":"optimal penetration of the tubing Jake","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":457.36,"end_s":464.56,"text":"god get your mind out of the gutter look at that get that right in the tubing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":462.319,"end_s":468.479,"text":"let's actually get the pumps back into place","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":466.4,"end_s":472.08,"text":"so while you guys were gone i got these pumps all swapped around so they are now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":470.319,"end_s":476.4,"text":"d5 varios and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":474.08,"end_s":479.84,"text":"these are really tight fit and they're all cleaned up now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":480.879,"end_s":488.879,"text":"you put your cleaning stick in you take your cleaning stick out pick up this jug","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":485.759,"end_s":492.72,"text":"and try and wash it down","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":488.879,"end_s":495.12,"text":"that's what it's all about","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":492.72,"end_s":500.0,"text":"okay let's just spit on it to lube it up spit really is nature's lube","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":497.36,"end_s":503.199,"text":"i mean not like for this but bam","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":501.44,"end_s":507.12,"text":"nope you missed it already it's up it's done there was no fundamental problem","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":505.12,"end_s":511.199,"text":"here just needed more lube also this hole was a bit looser","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":508.8,"end_s":515.76,"text":"none of the bolts for these pumps were tight anymore","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":513.039,"end_s":518.64,"text":"once i took them off they all vibrated themselves loose","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":517.2,"end_s":521.719,"text":"all of a sudden you're having a heck of a time","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.16,"end_s":536.56,"text":"before and after baby ah okay uh there is definitely some","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":533.6,"end_s":536.56,"text":"trash in there though","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":537.04,"end_s":540.48,"text":"oh that's so dirty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":547.6,"end_s":554.08,"text":"that's actually not as bad as it looked i've got a little bit of yellow gunk","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":551.76,"end_s":559.44,"text":"so there's definitely cleaning to be oh right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":555.2,"end_s":561.2,"text":"okay so that's worse it's scrubbing time","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":559.44,"end_s":565.04,"text":"you know i don't know how clean this is gonna come","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":563.12,"end_s":569.6,"text":"like i could pull out the scouring pad but but then i've got metal shards all","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":566.959,"end_s":572.72,"text":"over the place and making matters worse i'm gonna end up with an uneven finish","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":571.279,"end_s":576.48,"text":"because i'm only gonna be able to scour some parts of it there may just not be","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":574.72,"end_s":581.04,"text":"anything we can do about this because part of the problem here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":578.24,"end_s":586.24,"text":"is just that the nickel plating is being worn away to expose the copper over time","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":584.08,"end_s":590.16,"text":"i mean it's the funny thing about water like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":587.68,"end_s":595.04,"text":"i'm not blaming the manufacturers here water erodes it's like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":593.12,"end_s":600.72,"text":"what it does so we've got some erosion not corrosion","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":599.2,"end_s":605.839,"text":"in our block and i think we're just gonna kind of have to live with it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":603.04,"end_s":610.72,"text":"so i did more closely inspect this pump top and yes it does have some","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":608.32,"end_s":615.839,"text":"like spider web cracks around it but it seems okay i think it'll hold up for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":612.72,"end_s":618.16,"text":"quite some time um but that's actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":615.839,"end_s":621.76,"text":"why it used to be that the threads were directly in the acrylic on GPU blocks as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":620.48,"end_s":625.6,"text":"well but that's i think why a lot of manufacturers started putting these on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":623.92,"end_s":631.519,"text":"that and it gives them compatibility with those multi-block manifolds","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":629.04,"end_s":635.6,"text":"something to note is that most water block manufacturers void your warranty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":633.44,"end_s":639.12,"text":"if you open up the blocks wow","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":636.48,"end_s":641.92,"text":"that is a very very poor thermal paste application there","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":642.72,"end_s":646.2,"text":"oh it smells","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":646.24,"end_s":651.6,"text":"you want to smell it no look at that it kind of looked like an","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":650.16,"end_s":655.04,"text":"oil of some sort like i wonder if whatever i'm touching is like some kind","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":653.36,"end_s":661.519,"text":"of microbe like can you imagine that on my tombstone here lies Linus","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":658.399,"end_s":664.079,"text":"tech tips sebastian died of","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":661.519,"end_s":667.519,"text":"weird alien organism growing in his water cooling loop that's embarrassing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":666.399,"end_s":673.279,"text":"all right so we're going to do a slightly better job of this this time around okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":671.36,"end_s":676.56,"text":"just a little bit more tubing and then we're good to go i'm not going","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":674.88,"end_s":679.6,"text":"to watch Linus tech tips videos that guy has no idea what he's doing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":686.839,"end_s":690.8,"text":"awesome all right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":690.959,"end_s":694.8,"text":"well let's finish getting this thing filled up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":695.04,"end_s":702.16,"text":"ah okay oh what the hell","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":699.6,"end_s":705.44,"text":"oh crap oh crap oh this is really bad i'm gonna keep throwing paper towels","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":703.839,"end_s":712.16,"text":"okay i think that's enough paper towel thank you i can't even see what i'm doing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":709.04,"end_s":714.8,"text":"okay all right all right all right geez","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":712.16,"end_s":720.079,"text":"um it happened because i opened up the other side as well","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":718.0,"end_s":723.04,"text":"and beca i can't remember which order they're in in the loop but i guess not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":721.92,"end_s":728.0,"text":"the one that i hoped for and so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":726.0,"end_s":733.68,"text":"it basically didn't go very well made this one start","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":730.32,"end_s":736.72,"text":"spilling this is og pt

colored foam at the top of the water in the reservoirs and the disgusting amount of dust on the motherboard was to just cover it with hoodies and galaxy s9s and that sort of thing but it's gone to the point where it's actually loud like listen to this that's because of all the air in the loop so by popular demand welcome to desk pc water cooling maintenance a video that is going to be absolute hell brought to you by thermaltake their p90 core tempered glass case features five millimeter thick glass and angled open frame design different layout options vertical GPU mounting with a riser cable included and more check it out at the link below because this thing is so large and heavy during the construction project of the wallpaper tv window we actually didn't take it out of the room so even though i did eventually get my filters installed here look at this look at this if i touch this filter see that dust there was so much dust in this room that i mean even what did get through the filter has made it just grody this one's the worst although what's cool is that for the doubters out there who thought that the airflow scheme for this thing wasn't gonna work yeah you're wrong oh it's inching over oh there we go and for those of you who figure i'm probably just whining look how thick that sucker is look at this oh lordy oh that is gross i need my dyson let's just make this video not about the desk at all let's just make it about a vacuum again you guys you guys like that i'm just kidding but i do need a vacuum hi i legitimately hadn't really given a lot of thought to where to start with this so one thing i did think of was that it would be good to be able to pull these up to drain the loop i don't know if i ended up actually leaving enough slack i take kind of a yolo approach to water cooling maintenance so you might as well get as much adrenaline pumping during that time as you can alright so this is a little bit tricky because what we don't want is any water on our mdf desk it is painted and that does help us out a fair bit but it is still sub-optimal to get water on it it'll swell up and basically get immediately ruined all right now this is a bit of a hack now normally i wouldn't recommend blowing into a water cooling loop because you introduce all kinds of you know microorganisms and stuff in your breath um but the reason that we don't care here is that we are about to clean everything anyway so it's not a big deal how would you if you were to blow into it um you would just have to open up somewhere open up the highest point of the loop and then drain at the lowest point in the loop and then the whole thing should just kind of drain on its own but you'd have to kind of carefully plan your loop in order for that kind of a strategy to work and we didn't because this loop was more planned for looks and less planned for so that we can maintain it properly all right so the adventure just got a little bit more interesting here this pump that i'm pulling out right now this one's fine but if you have a look at the inlet of the other one there's actually a bunch of micro cracks where the fitting goes in check this out this is very disappointing because it's clearly not leaking now it looks like we might have to replace this pump holy crap this might be a problem i can't even i can't even take apart the first thing that i'm pulling out of here oh good all right one down there's a reason that most water cooling manufacturers use delrin or acetal anywhere where you're going to thread in a fitting rather than plexi like this and the reason that it is more prone to cracking and additionally plexi is kind of sucky to clean because you can't really use um solvents like isopropyl alcohol on it you got to be very careful so the fittings we can just go at with some rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush and then one of these handy dandy pipe cleaners and for this guy we just want to use we'll start with just our scrap water just to get some of the gunk off of it so for my next trick i'm going to be replacing the pwm versions of this pump that i have in there these are great if you don't cut off the pwm lead like we did when we were installing it and i'm going to replace them with the older regular dc control with a little knob on the back so i'm actually ending up with a double whammy of work here because i got to clean this before i put it away and i definitely have to clean this before i use it that is supposed to look like that okay alcohol seems to be working a little bit better i don't mind if the metal is stained but i do need to get the bulk of the actual sediment that's built up on it off uh this is going to be a bit more challenging oh crap i think i just ruined this it's an impeller it's a magnet i just touched steel wool on it it's all over it i am going to pull the one from the other pump got two pumps and one reservoir done the reservoirs are permanently stained from having an air bubble get me to eat it no you had a moment where you thought i might actually do it yeah i should try and get this off reservoir is done let's go find out if we have any tubing oh this is not a good sign not if i want to maintain the white and black color scheme anyway i just need a really long stiff object sorry i had something caught in my eye there on unfortunately no not a meter stick this time it has to be thinner for optimal penetration of the tubing Jake god get your mind out of the gutter look at that get that right in the tubing let's actually get the pumps back into place so while you guys were gone i got these pumps all swapped around so they are now d5 varios and these are really tight fit and they're all cleaned up now you put your cleaning stick in you take your cleaning stick out pick up this jug and try and wash it down that's what it's all about okay let's just spit on it to lube it up spit really is nature's lube i mean not like for this but bam nope you missed it already it's up it's done there was no fundamental problem here just needed more lube also this hole was a bit looser none of the bolts for these pumps were tight anymore once i took them off they all vibrated themselves loose all of a sudden you're having a heck of a time before and after baby ah okay uh there is definitely some trash in there though oh that's so dirty that's actually not as bad as it looked i've got a little bit of yellow gunk so there's definitely cleaning to be oh right okay so that's worse it's scrubbing time you know i don't know how clean this is gonna come like i could pull out the scouring pad but but then i've got metal shards all over the place and making matters worse i'm gonna end up with an uneven finish because i'm only gonna be able to scour some parts of it there may just not be anything we can do about this because part of the problem here is just that the nickel plating is being worn away to expose the copper over time i mean it's the funny thing about water like i'm not blaming the manufacturers here water erodes it's like what it does so we've got some erosion not corrosion in our block and i think we're just gonna kind of have to live with it so i did more closely inspect this pump top and yes it does have some like spider web cracks around it but it seems okay i think it'll hold up for quite some time um but that's actually why it used to be that the threads were directly in the acrylic on GPU blocks as well but that's i think why a lot of manufacturers started putting these on that and it gives them compatibility with those multi-block manifolds something to note is that most water block manufacturers void your warranty if you open up the blocks wow that is a very very poor thermal paste application there oh it smells you want to smell it no look at that it kind of looked like an oil of some sort like i wonder if whatever i'm touching is like some kind of microbe like can you imagine that on my tombstone here lies Linus tech tips sebastian died of weird alien organism growing in his water cooling loop that's embarrassing all right so we're going to do a slightly better job of this this time around okay just a little bit more tubing and then we're good to go i'm not going to watch Linus tech tips videos that guy has no idea what he's doing awesome all right well let's finish getting this thing filled up ah okay oh what the hell oh crap oh crap oh this is really bad i'm gonna keep throwing paper towels okay i think that's enough paper towel thank you i can't even see what i'm doing okay all right all right all right geez um it happened because i opened up the other side as well and beca i can't remember which order they're in in the loop but i guess not the one that i hoped for and so it basically didn't go very well made this one start spilling this is og pt nuke from petra's tech shop okay just a few drops of that should keep anything nasty from growing in the loop there's a bubble i see it i see ya there it is yep that's better finally done for those of you out there who were wondering why it is that we'll take a a water-cooled pre-built system and we'll say this thing's beautiful it's gorgeous it's got great temperatures but we're not sure if we'd recommend buying it to a water cooling novice anyone who couldn't build it themselves this is basically why because water cooling maintenance does have to be done and it is as difficult if not far more so than the actual initial build but you know what's not difficult building your own beautiful website on squarespace squarespace offers 24
