00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:09.440
everyone's been waiting even very famous celebrities for the results

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:14.000
of the one-year airflow test

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:16.720
yes my friends we are still running them

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.840
and we are doing the video but there's only one small problem

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.760
luke doesn't work here anymore to do the stunning conclusion

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.599
so we're gonna have to walk all the way over to Floatplane media's office

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:35.840
hello and get luke to help me

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.480
check out which one worked or if they all didn't work

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.600
brought to you by tunnelbear tunnelbear believes the internet should

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:50.370
be more open and private try it out for free at tunnelbear.com LTT we'll have

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:55.340
that linked below

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:05.519
i actually had very little involvement in this project what is going on here

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:08.159
well there's any audi and in betweeny like there was before

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.439
audi has more fans blowing out i think all the

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:16.560
fans blowing out any has all the fans blowing in and in

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.759
between e is fairly balanced they have all been running for over a

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.400
year behind the old set but then we built this mezzanine

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.159
that we're standing in and then we tore down that set so once the mezzanine was

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:34.560
done and before the set got torn down they got moved up here to the office but

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.640
they were out in the warehouse under the worst possible conditions literally

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.880
construction zone let's not entirely dismiss the

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.600
possibility that we will learn something today

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.240
even if what we learn is that we're idiots and we don't know how to perform

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.040
a controlled experiment so which one is supposed to be the worst by the

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.960
conventional wisdom i think most people

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.960
think that all in is the worst okay so let's get the other ones no wait wait

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.399
wait no no all out is supposed to be the worst but all in these are these aren't

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:08.640
so the top and back aren't this is supposed to be the bad one

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.640
okay all out and then it sucks air into the crevices yes yes okay okay so this

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.239
is the one we start with so the outside isn't really something

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.879
to judge because they would have all had a bunch of dust settle on the top

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:24.879
and it's not that terrible i mean like i'm gonna do one streak on

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:30.720
the power supply yeah i mean it's not great it's not great um

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.959
having a look at our fan though

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.959
really makes me wonder how it is that people get their computers disgusting

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:41.040
enough it's like to be like gummed up wow there's a there's cobwebs in here

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:46.000
that bottom filter was definitely doing something

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:50.080
and this is audi this is audi so that means this one isn't pulling through a

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:53.200
filter it should have been sucking all the air in from elsewhere so this is

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.239
another thing we have to be careful with this this is another thing where it's fairly case specific because a lot of

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:02.239
cases don't have that huge filtered mesh on the bottom so you can also see here

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:05.760
that with the audi case we've actually got a lot of dust build

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.959
up here and you can assume that for every bit of dust on this mesh

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.120
yeah more got pulled in yeah actually this is

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.800
a good thing well sort of a good thing but it's a good thing to see so our

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.879
graphics card does have a dust bunny inside it yeah

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:25.519
so that's some build up so our CPU is good yep so on the top was good so it

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.959
actually didn't suck that much in because it was blasting everything out

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.879
which makes sense so the CPU is like sheltered almost because everything

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:37.120
around it was like no get out yeah so you can actually you can see some dust

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.400
streaks on these cable management holes and then but not much i bet you the

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.000
graphics card was breathing through here and through here power supply is clean

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:49.280
because it's through a filter actually that area of the filter is pretty concentrated

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:52.879
any dust that's caught in this filter was already in the computer

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:59.120
okay interesting so that's all pulled from

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.599
inside and these fans have a fair amount of buildup in them actually i think the

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:08.159
main takeaway with this one is that even in a construction zone

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.319
where clearly there was a lot of dusty buildup on top

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:16.079
most of your dust is coming into your case from the bottom

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.680
so if you put your computer on the ground because we didn't have

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:24.000
fans blowing out at the bottom that's right yeah you might have a bad time

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:27.520
wanna do the other extreme the test is still bad we're already learning

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:32.400
something hold on this is the one that is sucking everything in this is

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:35.680
everything in yeah so theoretically yeah this isn't going to be good either

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:37.919
well no okay let's start with the bottom okay

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:45.120
ah interesting that's weird

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:48.160
the power supply area doesn't have much dust no it doesn't

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:53.680
because the air is blowing out of here getting

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:58.720
filtered and then being sucked into here there's two fans like hold on there's

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.960
one two three four five fans

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.440
worth of pressure going out of here this effectively has a skirt around it oh

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:10.320
yeah okay so there's dust on this but it's not on the inside it's on the top

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:16.800
yeah it's definitely on the top that's so weird so the power supply

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:19.199
is completely clean yeah

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.199
how interesting that is interesting see we are learning things i did not see

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.919
this one coming that is okay that's cooler than i expected i will definitely

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.160
give it that i want to see the front okay

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.919
it's filtering stuff this is telling us that this case's intake system is like

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:38.960
not that great because these are about as dusty as the other one this stuff is

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.840
on the outside because it's pulling through that makes sense

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:49.759
oh some dust like flew away when you did that like and

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:51.600
it's loose which is interesting

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.840
our graphics card has no doubt that's a little more gnarly than last time

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.280
definitely more dust just like CPU because there's okay there's also

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:03.600
definitely more dust on the back fan CPU and the top

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:08.000
so GPU is a little bit better power supply is better this case does

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.479
not have filters on the top of the back so you don't get too experienced so the

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:15.120
main takeaway from this one is that more

00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:18.560
airflow right around an area is going to give you a much much higher

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:23.600
concentration of dust and that again poor planning

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.520
is ultimately what's going to kill you yeah is the graphics card better or

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.520
worse on this one oh it's way worse way worse

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.000
so the GPU over there had to breathe in through this which was very apparent

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.800
yeah and it breathed in junky dusty air that's right this one is actually

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:43.919
breathing good air but that's the only piece and the power supply

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:49.520
i wouldn't have thought that having a filtered fan like blowing towards the

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:53.520
graphics card would affect the movement of the air inside like the currents

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:58.960
inside enough to be the difference okay so this

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.599
is sort of the um like the recommended

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:05.599
way so it's neither one extreme nor the other most people would go with a setup

00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:10.479
similar to this so it's important to note that even though we've actually got

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:15.120
four fans pulling in and two going out the ones coming in are filtered

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:19.759
so these filtered ones coming in should have much less airflow than the

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:25.520
non-filtered ones going out yeah so right off the bat our CPU is pretty good

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:30.720
i would say almost as wow almost as good

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:32.720
but not quite there is still no not

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.400
quite at all there's definitely still noticeable dust

00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:39.599
and that one was like actually clean so this one what's interesting is that even

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.960
though it's using a poor method of keeping dust out of

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:48.240
your system what it does do is it focuses all the

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:51.440
dust that it does pull in on the bottom and then sucked it all through that

00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:54.240
filter for this particular case and here a bit yeah and it's going to change with

00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:59.520
every case okay should we have a look at the filters yeah the bottom first yep okay i'll tilt

00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:04.400
it okay so as expected

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:08.479
this one doesn't have an air curtain around it so the power supply does draw

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:12.160
air through the filter filter didn't even stop everything nope filter didn't

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:16.240
stop everything at all and there's a lot of dust on this yeah this is easily the

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:21.360
most concentrated wow there's like hairs

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:25.440
look at this there's like strands of wet okay there's a little bit of that on any

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:30.000
yeah that makes sense because these are pulling in right

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.000
yep yeah

00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:37.440
ugh and like it plumed

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:44.800
okay so that's as expected so no dust bunny in the GPU

00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:45.839
GPU fan mostly clear this one had more

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:49.920
fans and got slightly more total dust which

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.440
kind of makes sense makes sense and the filters are slightly more clogged which

00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:57.680
makes sense but overall i'd say it's probably more balanced

00:08:55.040 --> 00:09:01.360
the CPU got hit but not as hard as it did

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:06.160
on the really bad CPU case yeah but not as good as it did the other time

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.839
but not as well as much as this one yeah internally so it ended up being in

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:13.120
between which is kind of what we were aiming for we

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:19.519
just didn't know it was actually going to work that way

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:21.519
here you go then the main takeaways are

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:25.360
on your intake fans you want to have filtered air to the

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:29.760
greatest degree possible and the more airflow you have

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:35.040
the more dusty buildup you are ultimately going to have yeah i think a

00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:38.880
balanced approach is good but you're gonna have to think about your

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:42.480
particular case your particular setup like if you're on the floor then one of

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.760
the big things we learned is you want a bunch of exhaust on the floor yeah to

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:49.600
keep dust away from your system it actually works yeah yeah

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:54.480
and then the other big takeaway is that freshbooks is the small business

00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:58.240

LTT we're going to have that linked below just enter Linus tech tips in the

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:32.399
how did you hear about us section so that was actually more enlightening

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:36.000
than i thought i'm surprised i thought they were just all gonna be butchered

00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:39.920
because of the construction zone so guys if you dislike this video then like come
