WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.960
now you guys might have seen the video we did recently where we disassembled an

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:11.040
8k red camera with the intention of water cooling it and um

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:16.640
well we do intend to do that eventually

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:22.000
but uh you know baby steps right so the first step is making

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:28.480
any water block and that is exactly what we have in store for you

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:31.359
guys today the first ever Linus media

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:35.040
group water block well except those ones they made in

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.040
scrap air wars

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:49.200
mack weldon wants you to be more comfortable so if you don't love your

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:53.920
first pair of underwear you can keep it and get a full refund with their try on

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:59.120
guarantee use code tech tips 20 to get 20 off at the link below so we have we

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:03.760
have no we have no script and no structure for this whatsoever then is

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.920
that do i understand this correctly yes okay

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:10.240
so step one uh drawing inspiration you

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.640
want to come over here david we actually did a video a little while ago where we

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.560
bought a bunch of cheap water blocks off like aliexpress

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:21.360
and um some of them actually were so simple that we looked at them

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:24.479
went well we could do that with like

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.840
you know half an hour in solidworks and then

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.600
you know a couple hours of cnc time and that's exactly what we did pretty much

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.840
yeah so this right here is even simpler than

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.680
what we did it's kind of smart how they did it

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:46.799
and like uh it's really smart how cheap it is to make this so if we look this is

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:50.240
just acrylic and it would just be like six holes

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.759
you're done so six holes and then you tap two

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:59.680
g1 quarter threads and bippity boppity finished okay

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.920
and then they don't even bother with doing anything besides holes in the

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.040
copper because machining copper is a huge pain in the butt

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.239
so they just have another piece of acrylic that's the right size for this o-ring and don't even bother with

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.920
anything on the inside either wow

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:20.160
this is like actually less than a dollar worth of

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:25.920
materials pretty much yeah and so we kind of took some inspiration

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:30.080
from that but it's it's too like easy even for us like

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.360
because we're going to need to figure out how to properly machine copper to do

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:39.360
some of the stuff we're doing later right so what have we done for okay so this is

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.120
the other end of the spectrum yeah this is like

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.440
pretty good where would you say that lands so by

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:53.360
contrast this is a much more advanced design so starting with the base it

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:54.640
requires machining on both the top and

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.319
bottom so you can see they've countersunk the holes for these screws

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:03.680
right here so that you're not going to even on a large died CPU you're not

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.120
going to just have like screw raising the block away from it so it

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:12.480
can't transfer heat and then it's actually got also much much finer work

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.680
than we see on our very very basic just piece of copper

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:21.440
here with these little fine fins that kind of guide the fluid as it goes

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.800
across where the CPU die would be underneath and then away

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.040
furthermore it's got a metal mid plate so this is to

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.920
add rigidity and allow for mounting flexibility across various sockets and

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:39.120
then it's got again double-sided machining work on the top here that not

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:43.760
only just sort of allows it to be attached to the base but actually has

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.680
guides for the fluid flow to help make it more efficient we're not really

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:52.400
aspiring to this at this point are we no we're kind of getting half the way there

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.599
so they do have the o-ring groove and

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.840
those are actually really hard to machine because you need super high tolerances

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:04.799
you mean in the groove low tolerances yes you need super low

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:07.360
tolerances within this groove because otherwise i mean

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:14.879
to put some perspective on how important that is if your o-ring doesn't fit

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:17.759
correctly you leak water on your

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:21.600
you know thousand dollar computer or thirty thousand dollar camera as it were

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:26.320
we aren't going to be able to get these kind of fins unfortunately could we have

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:31.919
done any kind of fins we could have potentially got like so the bit that we

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.600
used this is our actual block here it was an eighth of an inch and that's

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.520
getting it in like this groove right here is just a

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:43.759
bit over an eighth of an inch got it so that's kind of like we could have like

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:48.800
two fins we do have finer bits but running them in copper it isn't really

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:52.240
working at the moment got it so i don't know i'm actually

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:55.680
really stoked that we can just simply machine copper i wasn't expecting us to

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.720
get this far i was thinking that we would start this

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:04.880
and the bit would get like halfway in and then gum up and explode like we

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.199
already have three more in the mail because i thought that we're just going to ruin a bunch so it might be

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:14.479
surprising but this is a huge success for us okay

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:19.759
a flat piece of copper with an o-ring in it

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:21.039
do you want a metal like is it here

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.080
thank you okay so have you tried this yet no

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.360
so we have a couple more things that we need to do we need to tap the holes in

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:34.160
here okay and in here so that the fittings go in

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.320
and the bolt can go down and secure the

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:43.600
whole thing together okay and then we're pretty much good to go okay so uh pitter

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.840
patter let's get at her then yeah which one do you want to go at

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:52.960
i want to do the plexi first because that seems a lot easier to replace if i

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:57.280
bung it up this is really ugly acrylic that's just the machining marks there we

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.000
could why did we machine the top of it to make sure that it's nice and flat

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.199
when you get a piece of acrylic you don't necessarily know so we can get

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:08.720
some sandpaper and make it a bit better okay but we aren't are we

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:11.440
well we are a few leagues

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:18.479
so here we go friends oh crap i'm not putting enough pressure it's kind of

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:24.080
hard oh geez okay oh i am shredding this

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:27.440
okay i need i just needed more pressure and the great news is that this is just

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.039
the first one yeah oh we're getting pretty close yeah

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:36.160
actually really close we were going to go into the table if we went another half turn how straight did we go

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:38.960
actually not bad

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.800
oh why are you doing that so

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:49.759
again yeah number two tom petty was wrong

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.160
the starting is the hardest part can i take this off yeah yeah take it

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:56.720
off oh yeah see this side's much worse

00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:01.120
but we can probably work with that right yeah should be fine just flip it over

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:03.840
um we need some fluid coming straight really

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:09.599
definitely not trying to ow i just poked myself in the hand why don't you just

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:13.680
ask for better tools instead of just making me use crappy ones

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:17.919
i don't think you need that okay let's put it on the table all right okay like

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:22.319
every every half turn or so you should go back and break the chip

00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:22.319
that's probably good

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.360
all right times three more yep that was a good idea lubing it i

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:32.240
take back what i said before look at that it's like a threaded hole

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:35.919
and everything up in this biz like trying to make this

00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:39.199
with an angle grinder would have been a much more interesting video

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:45.199
or the sawzall wasn't that like your entire like second

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:50.080
day of work like through that heatsink everyone got so

00:07:47.919 --> 00:07:54.479
annoyed it was so loud right beside the editing right outside

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:58.479
the editing deck so now we have to do what's

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.840
kind of the make or break for this so we've got this o-ring here it's um

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:07.680
eighth inch yep oh my god it's like not a continuous

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:07.680
piece no

00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:12.960
in fact didn't Jake show both of us a site where you can just order any o-ring

00:08:11.599 --> 00:08:16.639
you want at any size you want why the hell did we do this

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.840
because for a lot of the custom stuff that we're going to have to do later for

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.240
like the reds and crab we're going to have to be able to make our own o-rings

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.720
this is like way smaller than the groove that is not a tight fit oh it's it's not

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:32.159
supposed to be a tight fit just let's just think about this one for a second

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.000
yeah yeah you mush it down a bit but not that much

00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:40.000
oh this is the actual specification we have the parker o-ring handbook you go

00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:45.279
in there and you're like parker over yes it's like the bible for like

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.480
engineers and stuff all right all right all right all right so what are we gonna

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.920
do like like at the you know the fair where they take the special glue and

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:55.680
they stick the two pieces of rope together in the water oh look one piece

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:58.880
of rope it's cyanoacrylate it's amazing yep

00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:02.560
really yep i'm so unhappy right now

00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:08.000
that's really what we're using oh my god that's actually what we're doing yep

00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:09.600
what really it's cyanoacrylate

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:13.600
i hate you all right here's your mark smart guy

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:17.279
please don't slice my hand is this really a recommended way to do

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:20.000
this you know what let's just see what happens

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.000
okay you ever gotten the stuff on your hands before yes i have please don't

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:27.600
yeah it's a really bad time yeah i know please don't yeah that's good that's

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:31.120
good less is more well less is less but less is good

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:35.040
is what i was trying to say oh wow it's not that close it's pretty bad well in

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:38.480
fairness to me i think the whole thing's a little short anyway so we might as

00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:42.160
well just put it in there and see what happens oh

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.959
actually no it's probably fine okay so i can just put it together now no no no no

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:51.200
we need some petroleum just this this makes another appearance we need to get

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:54.880
rid of this garbage this is the worst petroleum jelly i've ever encountered

00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:59.040
you're responsible for this oh we got to grease up our o-ring yeah okay it's

00:09:56.959 --> 00:10:02.839
disgusting it's like chunky i like my petroleum jelly like i like my

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.040
peanut butter smooth okay

00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:10.480
so that's it um which uh which screws are we using

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:16.160
those ones oh it's the wrong way oh it matters no no i know i did that on

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:19.200
purpose but there's no way the o-rings for the fittings are to seal on the

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:23.760
other side when i took those chunks oh yeah so we're just gambling here

00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:27.519
i mean theoretically there's nothing like really climactic what's happening

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.399
right now please catch we're good okay hit me with another one

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.279
two so that's it moment of truth

00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:41.040
yeah find out if it leaks

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:44.560
um dot in the center and then little dots on either

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:49.760
corner all right so yeah no why would we why would we drain the loop all we have to do we're going to open up a side here

00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:56.640
and we're above the water level in the reservoir so what should happen

00:10:53.760 --> 00:11:00.160
is we should start to draw in air is this open enough

00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:04.160
that's totally open so as long as we don't lift this up too high see how the

00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:08.240
water level rises there we go then we can have the tops of

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:11.680
our tubes drained this is it moment of truth

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.040
that's only a bit wait did we even thread this correctly well maybe we have

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:20.160
to go from the other side we did tap it down from the other side

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:23.839
oh that's gonna suck

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:27.519
all right let's put it on the other way we'll do it the way you want this did

00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:31.360
actually come together pretty smoothly

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:34.399
we're not done yet we can't be too happy at this moment

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:39.600
oh this gives us a better look at the o-ring actually so you can see where we

00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:43.680
mushed it together there that might not leak so you were right the

00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:49.680
direction you thread it definitely matters either that or we didn't go through enough so that goes on there

00:11:47.839 --> 00:11:53.519
oh yeah that does that's not that's not before that yeah we could just zip tie

00:11:51.920 --> 00:11:57.279
it we could just not no no no no no this is a very well worn

00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:59.839
okay you know what yes we can just not just a sec

00:12:02.880 --> 00:12:08.880
no why would we why do we drain the loop okay this one goes on we can use this one

00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:12.240
well yeah that's also a good plan yeah that was the problem with these fittings

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:17.279
so what's gonna happen now is i'm gonna move this down here

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:19.360
and uh it's gonna fill with water

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:23.279
you can actually see some water in it oh no it's completely full of water now

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:27.360
okay and then we can seal up the top of our reservoir here where'd that fitting

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:31.360
go i feel so bad for the people out there that like know what they're doing

00:12:28.959 --> 00:12:37.079
this must be like watching monkeys like just when i hit this button we're gonna

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.079
find out if it leaks or not

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:44.000
seems to be fine now it could take a while for us to find out if it's gonna

00:12:42.959 --> 00:12:48.800
leak but yes it actually

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:51.760
does seem to be fine how about that

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.279
just can't stop looking at it i'm just like so sure it's gonna leak why

00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:00.000
well you saw that o-ring yes

00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:03.680
look at it right now do you not trust parker i mean is this like is this like

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:07.040
restaurants like working at a restaurant where as soon as you do that you'd never

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.120
eat the food like as soon as you like make anything you just like never like

00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:15.120
you just never drive in a car again like knowing what the tolerances are like

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:20.000
well cars are pretty good it's airplanes that really scare me their safety factor

00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:24.000
is like under 10 like normally on a car you do at least 50 and they're just like

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:27.440
nope any extra weight is a bad thing so now what we just give her

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:30.399
all right so well let's let's for say what we need to do yeah but it's gonna

00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:34.000
take a while before we're gonna know so we should probably give her

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:39.519
okay sure all right we're giving her boom all right so here comes the heat

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:41.920
max of 82 degrees to beat the aliexpress

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:49.360
and that's this one that we i think is even more cheaply constructed

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:51.440
than ours is that correct um ek is 64.

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:54.959
so we're already up to 78. so

00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:57.839
oh wow really oh on the hottest corner on the hottest

00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:02.240
core yes oh also we never machined the bottom

00:13:59.839 --> 00:14:06.800
which they clearly did yeah have you seen what swift does with their skeeved

00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:11.519
thing where basically it like slices into the metal and then folds up a slice

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:17.680
no it it's amazing can we get one of those

00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:21.680
machines nope no close all the tabs done

00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:21.680
and we're at 83 degrees damn it

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:29.279
84. actually it settled back into 81. i wonder if that was just for me like like

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:33.360
pushing on it i mean obviously you can't design a product to have the user just

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.440
like hold it down well but we can just tighten these a bit more

00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:43.040
hey victory 80 degrees yay

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:44.959
we beat aliexpress

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:48.079
for a higher cost so there are some other factors to

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.800
consider here too um like whether or not our base

00:14:50.959 --> 00:14:57.519
was made convex oops or concave by the uh mounting

00:14:55.760 --> 00:15:02.560
pressure of putting the top down on our o-ring that might be part of the reason

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:06.079
why these guys went with this plastic plate like we

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:10.240
actually don't know why they went with an acrylic plate oh wow they didn't even take the

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:14.000
freaking who leaves like the paper on a

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:18.880
finished good that they shipped to the customer so what was what was this one's result

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:23.519
or did we not test that one we didn't test this one okay we just did the ek i

00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:28.720
mean it doesn't really matter we got our asses kicked by everything

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:31.279
yeah but but

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:35.279
the really positive takeaway here is that

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:39.040
it really is not leaking so

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:43.279
what that means for our future projects is that given that we're not going to be

00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:48.079
trying to cool a 7820x freaking 8-core CPU

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:51.680
yeah we're going to be like we're in good shape yeah

00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:56.160
we can make water blocks to fit on anything now they won't be the best

00:15:53.440 --> 00:16:00.240
water blocks no they won't i really want to do the network switch yeah network

00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:04.079
network switch next and then

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.399
a challenge yes like we only need to beat this

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.920
that's going to be this sucks look at it it's terrible it's terrible

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.880
okay i'm feeling good yeah

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:23.120
