WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.920
we are going to liquid cool all five of

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:11.040
our editing workstations together so those are like core i76 cores and gtx

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

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.640
and then we're gonna put that on a massive radiator so we're actually

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:24.240
taking all that heat and dissipating it outside causing not only our systems to

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:26.560
run cooler but also our room in which we

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.720
do our work to be cooler well the whole actual goal of the whole

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:32.800
room water cooling project was to cool down the room

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:40.000
where you could have done a much cheaper and easy solution of actually installing a

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:43.600
like ac unit but instead we've decided to go along with this how effective will

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.399
it actually be not hugely

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:53.520
but hopefully it'll help a little bit and be really cool at the same time

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.120
one system in particular was the main inspiration for this project and that's

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:01.840
edsel's machine which had a couple of problems number one is that the system

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.360
itself was always overheating because he always had his six core processor pinned

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:09.600
at 100 so they were kicking out a bunch of heat into his

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.760
quite inadequate CPU cooler which was then not keeping his CPU cool enough so

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:18.720
problem number one was that his system was actually overheating so much like 80

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:21.600
90 sometimes even above 90 degrees that it was thermal throttling and he wasn't

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:25.680
even getting all the performance out of it and then problem number two was that

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.320
the person sitting in front of it was constantly complaining about the heat in

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.880
the room so with the whole room water cooling setup

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.360
we can cool the system make it more powerful because we got a 12 core xeon

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:42.320
for it and make that person complain less by making the room cooler nope

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.040
originally i hadn't planned to paint the room the project was going to be much

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.799
smaller scale and it was going to be just about liquid cooling the machines

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.880
but i realized that if we're going to take the room apart

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

00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.920
opportunity to take it from a place where we all sit at our computers and

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.600
work and turn that into like a really cool

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.000
workspace that really feels like Linus

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

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:18.720
be in and work on our craft for some reason

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:18.720
i got the drop sheets in the heart

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:26.480
oh my god it fell off that's why what

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.280
look it detached on the side yeah

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:29.280
unfortunately

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:35.560
really turn oh my god yeah this is terrible

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:49.440
so i drew upon my experience painting houses and training painters to

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

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:57.519
fair bit of painting experience i'm a little bit rusty and i have some

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:02.000
experience training people who've never painted before but nick has really never

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:06.159
painted before keeping the quality level up was a bit

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

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.280
managed to get the whole job done although

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

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.440
know the second coat is when you clean up the mistakes from the first coat a

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:21.440
lot of the time

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

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

00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:41.040
say hey guys don't you think this is great but i realized everyone was gone

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:44.959
so i wandered downstairs and found out that while i was painting instead of

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.519
everyone else kind of proactively figuring out how we can move the project

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:55.440
forward they were doing arts and crafts and making a shield for luke and pinning

00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:59.599
buttons to turn his shirt into like Intel button armor

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.879
all that might have been okay if at least they had done a decent job of

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:07.439
making body armor it's terrible what

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.280
in battle i am cloning over everyone's old drives so that when they get their

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:15.519
new computers it'll be like using the same drive so

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.000
brandon can have his viruses which he refused to take care of terry can have

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.520
all his slow unoptimized drives and everything and we don't have to

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:28.880
reinstall anything or waste any time freaking terran this whole time has been

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:33.759
telling me that he has an SSD in his system and that his slow boot is

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.000
unrelated that's terence drive

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.479
i wonder what the slowness of his computer has been about

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.479
gamma tune

00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:49.840
having a pile of like cases and graphics

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:55.199
cards and i mean even the water cooling gear alone was a pile like having this

00:04:52.960 --> 00:05:00.320
mountain of hardware that was actually like as tall as me

00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:03.600
was uh really made me better understand

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:05.120
the scope of what we were undertaking

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.199
so apparently the project was pushed up a day i actually had no idea was not

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

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:16.639
like you have to do this at some point in time somehow no one

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

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:23.600
have enough time so just make sure you do it really quickly like thankfully

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.880
this actually gets finished before we move on to something else

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:31.360
well it turned out Linus didn't actually check the specs for the radiators before

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

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.440
would normally be on the bottom of it that then pressed against the top of the

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

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

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.400
had to drill holes in the top which was fantastic thank you thank you Linus

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:57.520
so luke actually ended up having to drill

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:02.639
holes for each of the radiators before we could even start assembling the

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.240
systems that took up a ton of his time

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.560
that otherwise he would have been able to spend helping me build systems it got

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:12.479
to the point where we actually had to recruit edsel to help us build computers

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.080
even though his system building experience is not really that much

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:22.319
hey this is pretty nice to me

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:27.360
glittery nice that one was mostly painless the

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:30.000
next one should be the second easiest of all of them so

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:33.919
all right and then it was pretty much time to

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:39.039
water cool the systems something that i ended up doing the vast majority of

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:44.080
myself so that's getting the tubing on the fittings for the CPU and GPU block

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

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.639
who was the one who actually figured out how the fittings worked for the quick

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.520
disconnects to install the uh the quick disconnects at the back on both the top

00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:01.440
radiator as well as the tubing coming out of the inside of the case

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:06.479
installing everything in the systems was a monumental task and everyone had to

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

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.039
assemble GPU water blocks onto the titan

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:19.120
cards because that can be very time consuming and i needed to move on to the

00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:23.759
next thing that i could do and luke was drilling holes in cases so

00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:27.440
we had to parallelize the workflow a lot

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:31.759
just to account for how time-consuming everything was going to be

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:37.440
well because i'm a plumber i deal with this sort of sort of situation of

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:41.440
soldering copper together and dealing with pex lines and

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:47.599
different fittings for myself i would say maybe a two

00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.680
the typical homeowner or

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.360
a person that would try to tackle this on themselves would probably be closer

00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:00.720
to eight or nine maybe even a tick higher it all depends

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:03.680
on your skill levels this project

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:09.400
after i understood what they were wanting i thought it was a very

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:09.400
interesting project

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.800
these are all what you call a dry fit

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.759
just to see if everything fits in the right places

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

00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:31.680
apart three inches apart nice and neat

00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:39.440

00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:51.120
uh so we got the vinyl decals in and

00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:54.640
they're actually pretty huge almost life

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.880
size for Linus it is life-size we had to

00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:01.680
pay some guy in the parking lot sure oh uh radiators

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:07.220
yeah i was just doing the exiting for the camera oh i was next

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:11.680
okay

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:19.399
i think a little bit of confusion was bound to happen and i think overall um

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:19.399
we're a little confused
