00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:09,920
welcome to lonus Tech tips today's video is all about building and using a 6 foot

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,920
tall evaporative cooler to cool down a core i7 extreme Edition processor this

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:21,199
is colloquially known as bong cooling so

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,930
sit back relax get real relaxed and

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:31,000
enjoy

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,160
tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the web as

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,239
though you're in one of 20 different countries learn more and try tunnel bear

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,680
for free at the link in the video description so some of you are probably

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:50,960
asking yourselves is he serious right now and the answer is yes let's begin

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,399
then with some Theory traditional PC coolers like heat sinks and closed loop

11
00:00:53,239 --> 00:01:00,559
water cooling systems and even fully custom water coolers can deliver

12
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:08,200
fantastic results for overclock ERS and silence enthusiasts but sadly videos

13
00:01:04,199 --> 00:01:09,960
like this showing -10 to -2° CPU

14
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:17,320
temperatures with a bunch of fans on a radiator will always be shockingly

15
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:19,799
effectively however epic trolls through

16
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:24,240
the miracle of video editing TTL who legitimately has plenty of gear capable

17
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:30,280
of reaching those temps swapped in some screen cap of a different cooling system

18
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:35,960
and we know this because three cheer for Science and the laws of thermodynamics

19
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:38,520
heat just like water or nutrients across

20
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:42,920
the membrane of a cell naturally flows from an area of higher temperature one

21
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:50,560
with a higher average kinetic energy of its molecules and atoms to one of lower

22
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:53,880
temperature so as air let's say it's 22°

23
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,920
C passes over a heat sink that's sitting

24
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,640
at around 50° C due to its absorption of

25
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:04,119
thermal energy from a CPU underneath that thermal energy naturally transfers

26
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,920
from the hot heat sink to the cooler surrounding air where it can be blown

27
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:13,280
out of window or whatever and The Wider the difference in temperature between

28
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:18,360
the heat sink and the air the faster this transfer takes place which is why

29
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,640
you'll reach a maximum load temperature while running a game for 15 to 30

30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:30,160
minutes instead of it just continuing to rise cool right sure it is but all

31
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:35,680
cooling systems that rely on the these principles inherently share a hard

32
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:41,120
performance limit that is to say that no matter how many heat pipes radiators or

33
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,640
cooling fans you add you can never get

34
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,879
below the temperature of the air around you well hold on a second lonus what

35
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,800
about wind chill when I put my ARM out the window of my car it feels a whole

36
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,760
hell of a lot cooler cruising down the highway than sitting at a red light even

37
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:02,560
when it's really hot outside well that is because you are made of water water

38
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:06,640
the effect that you're feeling is called evaporative cooling and it works thanks

39
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,599
to a neat little concept called stick with me here we're almost done the

40
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,280
enthalpy of vaporization in simple terms

41
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:20,840
for a given mass of fluid to change phases for example from liquid to gas

42
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,920
energy must be either absorbed or

43
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,680
released ice can be colder than Z

44
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:32,400
degrees fun fact and water vapor can be hot enough to burn you or hot enough to

45
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,879
freaking cook you but not while it is in

46
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,040
the midst of a phase change that's why

47
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:45,120
the mixture of ice and water in your glass stays at exactly 0° C until all of

48
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:51,200
the ice is melted and that's why your Boiling Pot of water on the stove stays

49
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:52,959
at exactly 100° until all the water

50
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,079
evaporates and then you need to buy a new piece of cookware the heat energy

51
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,760
being added by the Sun or the cooking element is being used to break hydrogen

52
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,519
bonds between H2O molecules before the

53
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:11,760
new phase can continue to heat up so as long as you keep adding ice or water to

54
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:18,079
that two-phase mixture the temperature remains constant okay then so bong

55
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,600
cooling you don't have to put water on a

56
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:25,320
stove for it to evaporate otherwise I mean how would the glass of water you

57
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:28,199
spill on the carpet Ever Dry more heat

58
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,240
just speeds up this process and if you've ever tried to clean up a spill

59
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:37,199
before Mom notices it you probably also know that more air flow maybe in the

60
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:43,840
form of a fan makes this happen faster too so in a nutshell a bong cooler works

61
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:48,280
by first creating small droplets of water with a shower head this gives the

62
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:53,199
falling water more surface area making it easier to evaporate then dropping

63
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,960
these water droplets down a cooling tower which causes the water molecules

64
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:03,840
on the surface of the droplets to change phase to gas absorbing heat energy from

65
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:09,840
the liquid water that remains in the falling droplet effectively cooling it

66
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:15,039
we use fans then to blow air from the bottom of the cooling tower to the top

67
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,520
to accelerate this process this allows

68
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,440
us to potentially reach subambient

69
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:26,639
temperatures assuming enough air flow big enough towers and favorable humidity

70
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:33,720
and atmospheric pressure conditions this is at the cost however of losing to the

71
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,280
room around us some of that liquid water

72
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,639
so let's build it then shall we darus will be assisting me since I'll be in

73
00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:44,319
another country by the time this is being filmed here's what you'll need we

74
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:49,720
took a lot of cues from this awesome build log over on overclock.net

75
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:56,600
4in diameter PVC piping PVC joiners two

76
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:03,080
120 mm fans with a power adapter for them as many shower heads as you will

77
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:05,280
have cooling tower some wood a PVC y one

78
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,280
per

79
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,599
Tower a powerful pump to get water to

80
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,960
the top of the shower heads 1/ in clear flexible tubing some miscellaneous 5/8

81
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:28,319
in PVC fittings to join our tubing runs together and a normal CPU water block

82
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:34,280
which leads us then to Moment of Truth time and here here are the results the

83
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,680
advantage of bong cooling here is that we were able to beat the performance of

84
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,400
a traditional ambient CPU Cooler without

85
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:47,440
adding a significant electrical cost thermoelectric or pelti cooling air

86
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:52,199
conditioning or phase change would incur these penalties and the higher your

87
00:06:50,039 --> 00:06:58,520
airflow our fans are actually kind of wimpy and the lower the humidity in your

88
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:04,639
environment desert dwellers Rejoice the more effective this would be but there

89
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:09,120
are some disadvantages as well it's kind of loud if you're not into the whole

90
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:14,039
falling water relaxation thing it increases the humidity of the room it

91
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:19,199
occupies it's large if you want it to work well and finally unless you were to

92
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,960
rig up some kind of water level meter and an automated topup mechanism

93
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:28,319
connected to your house Plumbing which is possible mind you you'll need to

94
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:32,960
constantly top it up with water which is why most people don't don't build them

95
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,319
but hey that's never stopped us before has it speaking of not being able to

96
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:42,720
stop us you can't stop us from talking about Crunchyroll Crunchyroll is the
