00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.500
Usually it's my kids who break stuff, and I'm the one who gets to fix it.

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:13.200
But when corrosion in my DIY pool water cooling setup caused a catastrophic leak on his gaming PC,

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.300
it seemed like a perfect opportunity to flip the script.

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:21.200
And sure, it's my fault it broke, but what good are kids if you can't put them to work?

00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:24.800
And besides, what a great opportunity for some learning.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.900
Yay, learning. You can learn the name of today's sponsor.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.900
Just because you have a spill on your computer doesn't necessarily mean that it's dead.

00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:38.300
If you can unplug it, clean it, dry it off, and fire it back up, it might work,

00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:41.400
just like the PC that we intentionally spilled coke on.

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:48.700
But that's not what happened here. This system sat for hours in a puddle of water and its own corroded gunk.

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:54.500
It should be dead, but somehow miraculously it survived, so then no problem.

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:58.800
All I've got to do is have my son put his water cooling back in, right?

00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:02.700
Wrong. Because if we do that, it's probably going to corrode again.

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:10.300
So we've got to figure out the root cause. The best theory we have is that this was caused by a ground loop between the pump and the computers,

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:15.400
which causes a slight voltage differential which can drastically accelerate corrosion.

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.300
Jake is actually working right now on the video that maybe you guys have seen,

00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:23.600
where we added an isolation transformer to the pumps and grounded the rack, which means,

00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:29.100
Hey, come on, boy. It's time to learn how to clean a really crusty water block.

00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:34.800
What am I ever going to do this again? Hopefully never, if Jake does all of this right.

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:39.700
Probably soon. But if it happens again, we're going to be in relatively okay shape

00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:44.700
because one of the other things we're going to be installing in the boy's computer is a leak sensor.

00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:49.000
Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go. Luckily, the only things that got eaten away were the fittings.

00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:55.500
So all we've got to do now is remove all of the gunk that was deposited from the fittings onto these blocks.

00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:59.600
Now, the bad news for you is I accidentally left my brasset at the office.

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:03.400
So you get to try this Mother's Magan Aluminum Polish,

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:08.400
which I don't know if it's going to work, or Goof Off, which I really think is not going to work.

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.900
Here's a toothbrush. You'll need water.

00:02:11.900 --> 00:02:16.100
Okay, that's not doing much. Let's try some Mag Polish.

00:02:16.100 --> 00:02:19.800
That's probably not what that's supposed to look like. Oh, it smells so bad.

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:26.500
Okay, let's see. Very similar to how it did before.

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:32.300
It really does, doesn't it? I wonder if pick action is a better bet.

00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:39.600
That does actually seem to be a lot better. Do I really want to get a dental pick into all these little bins?

00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:43.100
Well, you're not doing it. Oh, yeah.

00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:49.300
I'll go get you a dental pick. I changed my mind. While I thought I had dental picks, it turns out I actually don't.

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:53.200
But what I do have is a lot of X-Acto knife blades.

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:57.200
Oh, wow, yeah, this comes off really good. Don't cut toward your finger like that,

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.300
because if you put that into your thumb, we will have to go to the ER room.

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:05.200
And you'll need a tetanus shot like me. I got attacked by a cat.

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:08.600
So fun. I wouldn't rather be doing anything else.

00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:12.600
I'll tell you what, boy. I'm nothing if not fair. You clean that piece.

00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:16.500
I'll clean these three pieces. OK?

00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:22.500
Good deal? Maybe. What I didn't tell my son is there is another way.

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.700
I brought an ultrasonic cleaner home.

00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:29.100
I could clean so much water block with this bad boy.

00:03:29.100 --> 00:03:34.500
Got some general purpose ultrasonic cleaner, lemon scented.

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:38.700
There they go. I hope I have enough of this.

00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:44.400
I only have the one jug. Extra strength formula.

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:49.100
This product is a concentrate. One part product with 10 parts water.

00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:54.000
I have created some work for myself.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.400
I don't even know what color the back is supposed to be.

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.500
Just salvage some of that back.

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:04.300
Oh, yeah, buddy.

00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:10.100
And here's some water.

00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:15.600
Why don't we kick things off with the top of the CPU block? All of this stuff was pretty easy to get the gunk out of.

00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:20.300
I actually did that before. But what's hard to get at is these threads in here.

00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:25.400
This should help with that in a big way. Let's heat it up.

00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:29.900
Right, I forgot what a horrible noise it makes. OK, let's throw this bad boy in there.

00:04:29.900 --> 00:04:34.400
Dude, ultrasonic cleaners are freaking awesome.

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:39.300
Can I use the ultrasonic cleaner?

00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:43.700
Sure. When were you going to tell me about the ultrasonic cleaner?

00:04:43.700 --> 00:04:49.800
It wasn't. These are great. They use ultrasonic vibrations to create these little scrubby

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.000
micro bubbles that will remove any debris and crud from the surface

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.400
of like a water block or a piece of jewelry or whatever the case may be.

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:02.600
Wow. Not that we necessarily need it. You made really good progress.

00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.000
Yay. The boy can do work when he wants to. Check this out.

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.500
Oh my God. Yeah, sorry. That is awful. Yeah, I know.

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:14.800
Whoa, look at it rip off this corrosion on this bad boy.

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.300
You can actually see big flakes coming off this guy. Check that out.

00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:22.700
Now it's time to pull the system. So go around to the back, get it turned off and unplugged.

00:05:22.700 --> 00:05:29.300
We're going to be doing two things. We're going to unjerry rig it. So you can see I threw a replacement air-cooled graphics card in here.

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:32.400
That's going to have to go. And we're going to add a leak sensor.

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:36.600
Now Jake is working on the parts that will do the actual monitoring and handle

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.500
automations to turn the systems off in the event of a leak.

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:44.000
Meanwhile, we will be installing this leak sensor.

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.300
This appears to be too. Are we expecting there to be two leak sensors?

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:51.000
They just came in packs of two. How's that supposed to sense when there's a leak?

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:57.700
These are powered by five volt DC power. And basically what happens is if the two probes come into contact with water

00:05:57.700 --> 00:06:00.800
at the same time, the water is going to act as a wire,

00:06:00.900 --> 00:06:04.300
which is going to connect our powered probe to our sense probe.

00:06:04.300 --> 00:06:08.100
I mean, here's the thing, like realistically the water is going to pour out

00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:14.300
and then probably just dump down to the next server. So these sensors inside the computers, they might not do that much.

00:06:14.300 --> 00:06:18.400
So we're also going to add sensors to the floor and that'll probably be what saves us.

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:22.800
Hey, we just got new cats. Do you want to come meet the cats? Come on, let's come meet the cats.

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.900
They have fleas, so they have to hang out in here for a few more weeks until they're old enough for a flea treatment.

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.100
And then that might actually be a good thing anyway because it'll give the other cats some time to acclimate to the idea

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:36.100
that something doesn't smell right. Anyway, here they are.

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.900
This might end up being a side adventure. LMG.GG slash Floatplane.

00:06:43.900 --> 00:06:46.300
Now that the new cat adventure is over, let's get some stuff mounted.

00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:52.900
Nice. Okay, now we got to strip it. Wouldn't something like this have a strip?

00:06:52.900 --> 00:06:57.800
It does. Then use this. Yeah, but it only works on this part.

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:03.200
So then you figure out what gauge your wire is. You can look it up or you can just not bother.

00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:07.000
Okay. And then squeeze as hard as I can. Squeeze as hard as you can.

00:07:09.400 --> 00:07:10.800
Ow, it hurts my hands.

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.200
Maybe squeeze harder than you can. Next time. It hurts.

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.400
You know, you're going to get me made fun of on the Internet for having a boy with soft hands.

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:28.900
I don't even like put product on or anything. My hands are just already soft.

00:07:28.900 --> 00:07:33.100
I'm shamed. Just tell them to not shame you. Yeah, they listen to me.

00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:35.400
Why do they watch your videos if they're not going to listen to you?

00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:40.500
That's a good question.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.900
That's great. That's not going to short out on anything.

00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:47.200
Ow, my hands.

00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.100
Shamed.

00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:55.800
Here's what we're going to do. We're going to slide a little thing in there.

00:07:56.900 --> 00:08:00.500
Like that. Then we're going to put this down on it.

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:08.000
There we go. And we slide this out. And theoretically, we are exactly one paper width off the bottom.

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.100
Now you got your screwdriver, right? Yeah. Okay. We need to remove this power supply.

00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:14.900
And we have a lot to do. I should go check on the ultrasonic.

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.200
Oh, it stinks in here.

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:25.000
Oh, you're going to put those in there?

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.900
Yeah. Why not? You can just drain it out of here outside.

00:08:28.900 --> 00:08:32.200
Yeah, but I don't want to drain it. I want to maybe use it for some more stuff.

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:37.200
Maybe I could clean your mom's jewelry. Would you ever even know how scuffed this was?

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.700
Ow, ow, ow. Okay.

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:47.300
Wow. That looks like freaking not quite new, but certainly a lot better.

00:08:47.300 --> 00:08:48.700
This is great. Check this out, Jake.

00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.300
That looks pretty gross still. What? No, that's copper.

00:08:55.300 --> 00:09:00.900
No, I meant all this. Can I see this? Yeah, Linus, she said, please, that's a magic word.

00:09:00.900 --> 00:09:05.300
No respect. What the? There's still some shmoo in here.

00:09:05.300 --> 00:09:10.800
So we might have to do another quick pass. While this is all still really soft and easy to get out,

00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:14.100
and then maybe we'll throw it in the ultrasonic cleaner again.

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:18.400
Now is the perfect time to put our GPU back together.

00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:25.700
I did have to scrape some of this manually, but after the ultrasonic cleaner, man, does it ever come off easily?

00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:30.300
Since my GPU block is now clean, I'm ready to start putting my graphics card back together.

00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:33.700
And the good news is all of my thermal pads survived.

00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:36.900
What are thermal pads? Well, here, I can show you.

00:09:36.900 --> 00:09:40.400
There's stuff that makes heat, and we want to move that heat away from it

00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:46.400
so that it doesn't get too hot and die. But because they might be mounted a little bit higher

00:09:46.400 --> 00:09:50.400
or a little bit lower, we can't just put a piece of metal right against it

00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:53.400
because our piece of metal is going to be perfectly flat

00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:56.800
and it might not make contact with all of them. So a thermal pad,

00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:06.400
it's like a little pad that is thermally conductive so it can carry the heat through the pad and into our metal.

00:10:06.400 --> 00:10:11.000
You know how your computer runs games really fast? Without thermal pads, he no work.

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:17.000
We got to make sure that this O-ring doesn't get crushed. If this gets crushed or it has anything in the way,

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.200
pretty much game over.

00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:24.800
You guys, I asked for pipe cleaners. That's a pipe cleaner.

00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:28.800
I know, but this is an arts and crafts pipe cleaner. What pipe cleaners do I use?

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:34.000
They try to clean the threads of the inside here and they bring me the fuzzy kind.

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.400
I'll show you. This one? Yes, this.

00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:39.600
But a small one.

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.000
Oh, that guy.

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:52.000
Oh, no. Boy.

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.800
Oh, he let the O-rings fall down.

00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:00.400
They're everywhere now. They were five when I put them in.

00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:04.800
Well, where's the fifth one? Oh, I think it went down the drain hole.

00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:11.400
Yes, it's there. Okay, good. Okay, well, no, don't put them there.

00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:15.100
Put them in here. Let's get this thing assembled. Let's go.

00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:19.100
I didn't take this one apart so I don't know where they go. How'd they go where they go?

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:23.200
It occurs to me as I'm sitting here thermal pasting this GPU for reassembly

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:28.700
that we don't actually know that it still works. While nothing else in the system failed,

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:32.400
I don't think we ever actually tried booting it with the original GPUs.

00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:39.000
So now I would never recommend running

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.700
a water-cooled GPU without any water in it.

00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:47.800
But hey, it's the do as I say, not as I do show, right?

00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:52.500
Let's see if this GPU works. If we get an output, I'm just gonna throw it in the system and call it good.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:55.900
Hey, look at that. We got an output. Let's go ahead and throw the system together.

00:11:55.900 --> 00:12:00.200
Oh, that's exciting. Might be a good time to get some of these tubes

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.200
out of the way. How bad are these? Some of them don't even look dirty inside.

00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.300
Should I just replace all of them? I feel like I should just replace all of them.

00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:14.700
Actually, before I do that, I should test our new power supply bracket and make sure that it works.

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:17.900
Oh, so perfect. Uh-oh.

00:12:17.900 --> 00:12:20.900
Did we leave enough clearance for the barrel jack? Oh, no.

00:12:20.900 --> 00:12:24.600
Oh, it's perfect. It's flawless.

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:29.500
Look at that. Professional. So our five-volt leak sensor is gonna go in there like that

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:34.600
and our fiber objects go in like that and the whole thing goes in here like that.

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:41.100
Wait. No, there's not enough clearance for the barrel jack

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:43.100
and the power supply.

00:12:47.900 --> 00:12:50.900
New solution.

00:12:50.900 --> 00:12:55.800
No nut to secure the DC barrel jack thing because, I mean, I don't know.

00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:59.000
Does it really need one? It's kind of in there, right?

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:03.500
And it fits. Yay.

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:09.800
You know what? This is kind of crazy, but because of the friction with the power supply,

00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:13.200
it's actually really secure in there, even without the nut.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.700
Like, I cannot move it. All right, we're back on track. Let's get the leak sensor back hooked up.

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:25.200
There, I spared you guys a lot of the boring details, but she's completely re-plumbed

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.800
and everything is ready to close up. I'm afraid I'm not optimistic enough

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:32.800
to close up the top panel and slide it into its spot in the rack.

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:36.500
So we're just gonna hook it on the top where it was before,

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:40.000
hook up the water pipes at the back and see what happens.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.800
Boop. Boop.

00:13:43.800 --> 00:13:46.900
I don't have to power on the system in order to get liquid to flow through it.

00:13:46.900 --> 00:13:50.900
So this is a perfect time to see if anything's leaking.

00:13:50.900 --> 00:13:54.200
Everything seems fine. I mean, it should, you know,

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:59.600
we removed the corroded fittings, but when you disassemble and reassemble water blocks,

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.800
you can make mistakes, right? Dude, I'm stressed.

00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:06.400
I don't remember the last time I was this stressed to turn on a computer.

00:14:12.300 --> 00:14:17.600
Let's go see if she fires up. This is the monitor that's supposed to be lit up.

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.600
Give her a sec. She's memory training.

00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.200
The memory's trained. Oh, thank God. Woo-hoo!

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.600
Let's see how the temps are. All right, well,

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.400
I should have repasted the CPU block. You didn't repaste the CPU block?

00:14:32.400 --> 00:14:35.700
Well, that was pasted on there. Oh my God. I'm gonna repaste it.

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:38.900
I even brought PTM7950 from LTTstore.com for you.

00:14:38.900 --> 00:14:42.400
Oh, I didn't see it. In fairness to me, there was a solid chance

00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:46.000
that none of this was gonna work at all and any time we spent on it was a complete waste.

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.000
So now that I know that the thing actually works,

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:55.000
I can just pop this off, throw some more pasted on. Yeah, yeah, that's not enough pasted.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.000
Throw some more pasted on there and we'll call it a day. Ah!

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.900
Thermal pad time. Hmm, temps are exactly the same.

00:15:02.900 --> 00:15:06.800
I bet the flow rate is lower from adding the filter.

00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:10.200
It's still going 10 liters per minute. That's a lot.

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.700
Divided by seven systems. I think this might be a flow rate thing.

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.700
Was it like that before? Hmm, I don't think so.

00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.700
I mean, I can also check one of the other systems.

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:25.700
Yeah, this one's the same. Realistically, they aren't 3D rendering on these systems.

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:29.200
But in the long term, it might be nice to solve the flow rate issue,

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:33.700
maybe a second inline pump. The more important one is the GPU anyway.

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:36.700
So let's get that started. This one I'm expecting to be okay.

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:41.700
Oh, well that's great. This GPU is under 40 degrees though.

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:44.700
And it's pulling 220 watts.

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:47.700
Alright, gaming systems for gamers. Do they game?

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:52.700
Casual 175 frames per second in Halo Infinite on medium 1440p.

00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:55.700
Oh, no. Oh, no, don't kill me, please.

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:58.700
Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no. Got him.

00:15:58.700 --> 00:16:02.700
Oh, double kill. Oh, dang it. It's a lot easier playing on my kid's account.

00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:05.700
His MMR is not as high. Alright, cool.

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:08.700
Well, that's enough of that.

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:10.700
Time to throw this thing back in the rack.

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:15.700
I may have made a slight mistake. What'd you do?

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:20.700
I buttoned everything up before we actually tested the leak sensor that's in there.

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:23.700
I can unbutton it. Yeah. Alright.

00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:27.700
Is this going to hold? Yeah, seems like it'll hold.

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:32.700
Okay, leak test time. What if something catastrophic happens?

00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:36.700
Theoretically, all we've got to do now is take the other end of that barrel jack lead,

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:40.700
hook it into this leak sensor, which you guys would have seen in the last video.

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:44.700
Now I just... Pour some water in the computer.

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:50.700
Basically, because it failed here last time, I put the leak sensor right there.

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:54.700
So if this tube just comes flying off again, she's right there, bud.

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:57.700
She's right there. Oh, my God. Are you actually...

00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:00.700
What? Oh, is it off? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:03.700
Computer's off. Chill. Oh, my God.

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:09.700
Okay. All clear on sensor eight, which is the leak sensor. So in theory, when you bridge these connections with water, leak detected.

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:12.700
Okay. That's a lot of water. Paper towel, please.

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:15.700
Oh. Okay. I mean, it's not that much water.

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:21.700
Yeah, it would mean it would. It just is a lot of water for what I would like to put into a computer that has other computers running beneath it.

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:24.700
Still registering? Still registering. Oh, wow.

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:27.700
Well, that's really good. Actually, I can see how it's working.

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:31.700
You don't need water between them. Just enough surface tension.

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:34.700
On both tips. And then it registers.

00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:38.700
So that means we've got the distance just right on these. We don't actually need a ton of water.

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:45.700
Right. Because the chassis is metal. It's using the chassis as a circuit, which is usually a really great thing to do with your computer.

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:49.700
Well, look. It's only five volts. It should be fine.

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:52.700
It's working. 0.6.

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:55.700
Come on. Blow harder. 0.4.

00:17:55.700 --> 00:18:00.700
0.3. Keep going. I'm going to pass out.

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:03.700
That would be funny. Oh, man.

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:06.700
Oh, lightheaded. Oh, okay. It's clear now.

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:09.700
If this registers a leak in the future, just come in here and start blowing on it.

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:14.700
I mean, I was going to say, well, no, I got to come in here and start ripping power out of things.

00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:19.700
But I kind of don't. Well, the UPS as I do, but everything else is going to be shut down.

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:23.700
I did bring you brackets to move your UPS if you want to do that at some point.

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:28.700
I probably should. In a perfect world, we'll put in some concrete anchors or something like that.

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:34.700
And we'll just mount them to the wall over there. And then what's nice is that'll actually give me another six rack units of space in the rack.

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:38.700
Not that I need more machines, but you never know.

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:46.700
I guess now's a good time for us to change out the coolant in these systems to just in case everything else wasn't enough,

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:49.700
make real good and sure that she doesn't corrode again.

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:52.700
Why is he so giddy about this coolant?

00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:57.700
This is G11 antifreeze, which conveniently is the same stuff you put in BMWs.

00:18:57.700 --> 00:19:00.700
Why does it always have to come back to BMWs with you?

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:04.700
Like, are you on their payroll? I just looked at the forums and everyone was like, yeah, just get G11.

00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:07.700
That's the stuff that works good for this. So this is the real stuff then?

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:10.700
Yeah, I mean, most antifreeze protects most metals.

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:13.700
This is just like a high quality made in Germany. Good one.

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:17.700
Is this concentrate? It is concentrate. That's a 10 gallon tank.

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:21.700
Let's throw both of these in. It's blue.

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:24.700
Wow. Look at that good stuff.

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:30.700
One thing to note is that antifreeze does technically reduce the cooling performance a bit.

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:35.700
Yeah, it's not catastrophic though. A couple percent realistically and we're not going like a 50-50 concentration,

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:43.700
which is where you would really notice it. What we won't have protection against though is the non-conductive nature of pure water.

00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:47.700
This is probably going to contribute to the conductivity. Yeah, you didn't have pure water anyways.

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:50.700
Well, it was pure enough that that system survived.

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:53.700
No more corrosion. Corrosion be gone.

00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:56.700
Oh, hey, look at the down there. Oh, it's so pretty.

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:59.700
I think we need to flush out the existing stuff though.

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:04.700
I'm kind of thinking we stick the freshwater hose in there and leave the drain open for a while.

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:08.700
Oh, okay. Flushing this loop about as interesting as watching paint dry.

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:12.700
So you guys are just going to have to take my word for it that I swapped it out for the other coolant

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:18.700
and take my word about our sponsor. If you guys enjoyed this video, maybe check out the last part where we looked at the aftermath of the leak

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:21.700
and discovered all the corroded components.
