1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,920
we are going to liquid cool all five of

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:11,040
our editing workstations together so those are like core i76 cores and gtx

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,559
titans then we're gonna take that water we're gonna take it out of the building

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,640
and then we're gonna put that on a massive radiator so we're actually

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:24,240
taking all that heat and dissipating it outside causing not only our systems to

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,560
run cooler but also our room in which we

7
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,720
do our work to be cooler well the whole actual goal of the whole

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,800
room water cooling project was to cool down the room

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:40,000
where you could have done a much cheaper and easy solution of actually installing a

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:43,600
like ac unit but instead we've decided to go along with this how effective will

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,399
it actually be not hugely

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:53,520
but hopefully it'll help a little bit and be really cool at the same time

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,120
one system in particular was the main inspiration for this project and that's

14
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:01,840
edsel's machine which had a couple of problems number one is that the system

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,360
itself was always overheating because he always had his six core processor pinned

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,600
at 100 so they were kicking out a bunch of heat into his

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,760
quite inadequate CPU cooler which was then not keeping his CPU cool enough so

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,720
problem number one was that his system was actually overheating so much like 80

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,600
90 sometimes even above 90 degrees that it was thermal throttling and he wasn't

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,680
even getting all the performance out of it and then problem number two was that

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,320
the person sitting in front of it was constantly complaining about the heat in

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,880
the room so with the whole room water cooling setup

23
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:37,360
we can cool the system make it more powerful because we got a 12 core xeon

24
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:42,320
for it and make that person complain less by making the room cooler nope

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,040
originally i hadn't planned to paint the room the project was going to be much

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,799
smaller scale and it was going to be just about liquid cooling the machines

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,880
but i realized that if we're going to take the room apart

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,720
clean it up presumably and pull all the systems out of it well this is a great

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,920
opportunity to take it from a place where we all sit at our computers and

30
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:05,600
work and turn that into like a really cool

31
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,000
workspace that really feels like Linus

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:12,080
tech tips make it feel like like home and like a place that's really cool to

33
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:18,720
be in and work on our craft for some reason

34
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:18,720
i got the drop sheets in the heart

35
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:26,480
oh my god it fell off that's why what

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,280
look it detached on the side yeah

37
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,280
unfortunately

38
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,560
really turn oh my god yeah this is terrible

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,440
so i drew upon my experience painting houses and training painters to

40
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,760
get that done in kind of the Linus tech tips gray and then as much as i've got a

41
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,519
fair bit of painting experience i'm a little bit rusty and i have some

42
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,000
experience training people who've never painted before but nick has really never

43
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,159
painted before keeping the quality level up was a bit

44
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,080
of a challenge as well nick did his best though and between the two of us we

45
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,280
managed to get the whole job done although

46
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,120
by the second coat i did pretty much most of it myself since it was uh you

47
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:21,440
know the second coat is when you clean up the mistakes from the first coat a

48
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,440
lot of the time

49
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,879
finishing the first coat of paint was really nice i was able to put down the roller and kind of step back and go yeah

50
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,640
this is starting to look really cool and i wanted to kind of turn to my sides and

51
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,040
say hey guys don't you think this is great but i realized everyone was gone

52
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,959
so i wandered downstairs and found out that while i was painting instead of

53
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,519
everyone else kind of proactively figuring out how we can move the project

54
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:55,440
forward they were doing arts and crafts and making a shield for luke and pinning

55
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:59,599
buttons to turn his shirt into like Intel button armor

56
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:04,879
all that might have been okay if at least they had done a decent job of

57
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:07,439
making body armor it's terrible what

58
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:11,280
in battle i am cloning over everyone's old drives so that when they get their

59
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,519
new computers it'll be like using the same drive so

60
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,000
brandon can have his viruses which he refused to take care of terry can have

61
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,520
all his slow unoptimized drives and everything and we don't have to

62
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:28,880
reinstall anything or waste any time freaking terran this whole time has been

63
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:33,759
telling me that he has an SSD in his system and that his slow boot is

64
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,000
unrelated that's terence drive

65
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:43,479
i wonder what the slowness of his computer has been about

66
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,479
gamma tune

67
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,840
having a pile of like cases and graphics

68
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:55,199
cards and i mean even the water cooling gear alone was a pile like having this

69
00:04:52,960 --> 00:05:00,320
mountain of hardware that was actually like as tall as me

70
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,600
was uh really made me better understand

71
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,120
the scope of what we were undertaking

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,199
so apparently the project was pushed up a day i actually had no idea was not

73
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,120
told by anyone but that seems to kind of be a Linus media group thing there's

74
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,639
like you have to do this at some point in time somehow no one

75
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,160
knows no one's gonna be helping you and we're not really sure when but you won't

76
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,600
have enough time so just make sure you do it really quickly like thankfully

77
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:26,880
this actually gets finished before we move on to something else

78
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:31,360
well it turned out Linus didn't actually check the specs for the radiators before

79
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,800
he bought them so when i tried to mount it on the top there's fittings that

80
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,440
would normally be on the bottom of it that then pressed against the top of the

81
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,800
case so i put it up on an angle and you couldn't actually get screws all the way

82
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:48,400
through the fan the top of the case past the fitting and into the radiator so i

83
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:52,400
had to drill holes in the top which was fantastic thank you thank you Linus

84
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:57,520
so luke actually ended up having to drill

85
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:02,639
holes for each of the radiators before we could even start assembling the

86
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,240
systems that took up a ton of his time

87
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,560
that otherwise he would have been able to spend helping me build systems it got

88
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:12,479
to the point where we actually had to recruit edsel to help us build computers

89
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,080
even though his system building experience is not really that much

90
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:22,319
hey this is pretty nice to me

91
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:27,360
glittery nice that one was mostly painless the

92
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,000
next one should be the second easiest of all of them so

93
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:33,919
all right and then it was pretty much time to

94
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:39,039
water cool the systems something that i ended up doing the vast majority of

95
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:44,080
myself so that's getting the tubing on the fittings for the CPU and GPU block

96
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:48,639
running it outside of the case and then at that point i handed them off to ed

97
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:52,639
who was the one who actually figured out how the fittings worked for the quick

98
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:57,520
disconnects to install the uh the quick disconnects at the back on both the top

99
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,440
radiator as well as the tubing coming out of the inside of the case

100
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:06,479
installing everything in the systems was a monumental task and everyone had to

101
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:12,639
chip in in ways that they haven't really done before i even had edzel helping me

102
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,039
assemble GPU water blocks onto the titan

103
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:19,120
cards because that can be very time consuming and i needed to move on to the

104
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:23,759
next thing that i could do and luke was drilling holes in cases so

105
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:27,440
we had to parallelize the workflow a lot

106
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,759
just to account for how time-consuming everything was going to be

107
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:37,440
well because i'm a plumber i deal with this sort of sort of situation of

108
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,440
soldering copper together and dealing with pex lines and

109
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:47,599
different fittings for myself i would say maybe a two

110
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:51,680
the typical homeowner or

111
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,360
a person that would try to tackle this on themselves would probably be closer

112
00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:00,720
to eight or nine maybe even a tick higher it all depends

113
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:03,680
on your skill levels this project

114
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:09,400
after i understood what they were wanting i thought it was a very

115
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,400
interesting project

116
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,800
these are all what you call a dry fit

117
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,759
just to see if everything fits in the right places

118
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:31,680
and then we'll hold it up like that solder it and then these are all three inches

119
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:31,680
apart three inches apart nice and neat

120
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:39,440
from december 13th to 20th 2014 you can save on select Intel cpus nux and ssds

122
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:51,120
uh so we got the vinyl decals in and

123
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:54,640
they're actually pretty huge almost life

124
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,880
size for Linus it is life-size we had to

125
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:01,680
pay some guy in the parking lot sure oh uh radiators

126
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:07,220
yeah i was just doing the exiting for the camera oh i was next

127
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:11,680
okay

128
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:19,399
i think a little bit of confusion was bound to happen and i think overall um

129
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,399
we're a little confused
