1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,720
Here at Linus Tech Tips, we know that water cooling needs the cleanest water.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,480
We even installed a reverse osmosis filter in our shop to ensure that we'd

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,559
have it. So, when we learned that there are more than 4 billion people around

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:17,920
the world without access to safely managed drinking water at home, we

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,480
realized we needed to be part of something bigger. That is why we're

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:28,320
joining forces with Team Water to help them blow past their goal of raising $40

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,560
million in just 30 days to provide clean

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:36,640
drinking water to millions of people for decades to come. Which got us thinking,

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:41,120
how dirty is unfiltered water? Do we even really need clean water for cooling

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,280
computers? I asked our team to design a bit of a science fair project to find

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:51,680
out if water cleanliness really matters when cooling your PC. And right under

12
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:53,280
here are the satisfying results,

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,039
which is exactly what business owners can expect when they use our sponsor,

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,840
ODO's all-in-one suite of business apps for accounting, sales, inventory, and

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,920
more. It's like having one guy with four arms. How's it going?

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,400
>> I'm ODO. >> Yeah. So,

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,960
I haven't seen this yet, so this is a big moment,

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,840
huh? at first glance. Anyway, I got to be honest with you guys, I can't really

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,320
tell the difference, which is pretty

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:35,119
surprising given that this one here was filtered through a LifeStraw, which is

21
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:40,560
supposed to knock out like 99.99 something% of the junk water. And this

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,280
one came straight from this bucket of pond water. I um I'm not 100% sure what

23
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,399
I expected to see, but with warm temperatures from the heat of the

24
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:52,880
components plus sunlight, I don't know,

25
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:57,680
tadpole algae, something. Did you guys do it right?

26
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,320
>> Pretty sure we sent David and Justin to the pond and they got some water that

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,960
looked terrible. There were ducks swimming all over the place.

28
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:09,320
Then we were working on putting these two pretty much identical systems together.

29
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,599
got interrupted by the ice cream van. I got a mango bar. I >> I didn't ask.

30
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,440
>> Fair enough. Anyway, we're kind of as surprised as you at the result here. We

31
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,239
even, you know, used transparent tubes. Everything we could have done has been

32
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,599
done. >> And yet, life didn't find a way.

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,080
Apparently not. >> No. Wait, hold on. >> No. I was looking at it with the wrong

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,519
color in the background. If we get it just right, it has a tint to it.

35
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,680
>> A little bit of yellow. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Grab that paper. >> Yeah. Okay. Hold on. Wait. This is

36
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:46,239
sitting right here. You knew. >> Maybe. >> Oh, that makes sense. Okay. So, uh here.

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Here. Do you want to hold the one? >> Yeah. >> This one crystal clear. This one crystal

38
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,560
with some inclusions. >> Yellow crystal. >> It is. I've never been this excited to

39
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,080
find dirty water. The question is, how

40
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,159
dirty is it? >> Well, to find out, we got these petri

41
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,200
dishes and did a swab test. That's the life. >> Oh my god.

42
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:11,280
>> That's the pond water. That's disgusting. >> It really stinks.

43
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,879
>> I mean, yeah, >> I might have the plague. Now,

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,319
>> one quick note, by the way, the tests that you're watching were performed by

45
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,720
professional idiots and should not be replicated at home. Growing bacteria,

46
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:28,400
especially if you don't know what it is, for any reason, can be extremely

47
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,680
dangerous to the health of you, your family, and your pets. Stay safe. These

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,760
have been sitting in a very makeshift incubator that we built in the writer's

49
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:43,200
room for the last few days. So, as it turns out, looks relatively clean and

50
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,280
drinkable is still full of microbes and

51
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,239
potentially harmful contaminants that if left unchecked in an environment like

52
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,360
say your body or even this water cooling

53
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:55,760
loop for long enough will grow and can

54
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,439
cause serious health issues for both people and for gaming rigs.

55
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,599
>> I've got more tests to run, too. >> Oh, sick. But before we do those, we

56
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,239
should talk about Team Water. Working with the nonprofit Water Aid, who's been

57
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,400
around for as long as Jordan and have a platinum seal of transparency from

58
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:17,759
Guidear, Team Water is aiming to raise $40 million in just 31 days. So, they're

59
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:23,919
going to need all the help they can get to raise more than $1 million a day. Go

60
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,000
to teamwater.org to donate or to get more information. All right, where were

61
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,400
we? >> You're going to want those. >> Oh, okay. Hey, I thought you were going

62
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:34,479
somewhere entirely different with this. >> Not on camera.

63
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,680
>> Speaking of, these are tests for fecal caulifform bacteria.

64
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:43,199
>> Well, first, why don't we show them the water test that we got? >> Fair enough. We got this wellwater test

65
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,199
kit from Canadian Tire. Dead simple. We just dip these test strips into our

66
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,199
reservoirs. It'll change color depending on what's in the water. We match it up

67
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:57,440
to the colors. >> Oh, cool. Okay. So, should I give it a shot? >> Give it a go.

68
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,520
>> Okay. This is LifeStraw. 1,00 2 1 and

69
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:04,639
total hardness a little hard. Got some hard water. No chlorine. That's good. No

70
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,840
iron, I guess. Copper content, acceptable. Nitrate, none. Nitrite,

71
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,560
none. Nice. We're a little bit on the harder side, which is something that you

72
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,960
can be concerned about when you're taking water from a well. But everything

73
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:21,759
else seems to be well within the safe range. You know, there's no chlorine in

74
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:28,479
our water supply, for instance. Okay, I'm going to fold it this way this time.

75
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,520
And one, two, boop. Total hardness,

76
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:34,240
reasonable. Chlorine, iron, fine.

77
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Copper, fine. Nitrates and nitrites are fine. Fine, fine, fine, fine, and fine.

78
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:47,039
And as expected, bacterial growth is not going to affect any of these elements.

79
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:52,479
So if we were to sterilize this water, it should probably be pretty safe for

80
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,840
drinking. And the sterilization is key.

81
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:57,440
>> They thought of that. The kit also included this test for bacteria. And we

82
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:00,400
bought a second one so we could do both systems. These will test for fecal

83
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:06,560
cullififor bacteria. >> That sounds like a bad bacteria. >> You don't want to have it. Basically, if

84
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,680
they turn green or bluish tint, that's positive test.

85
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,160
>> Okay. >> So, here you go. >> So, you're telling me, wait a second. You're telling me this is the healthy

86
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:17,600
one? >> That's the good one. >> I mean, I guess it doesn't really look

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,919
like it came from a water that I would want to drink. It looks like uh we might

88
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,720
have got it from uh >> Lar Reese.

89
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:30,160
>> I mean, is this how I find out that we're doing employee drug testing?

90
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:35,520
>> They don't tell you everything anymore. >> Anywh who, uh we took these samples

91
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:40,880
about 30 hours ago. And while this one might look like the more appetizing one,

92
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,880
that's bad. That's poop. >> That's poop.

93
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,560
>> Poop bacteria. >> Yeah. Don't drink that. I mean, I wouldn't drink that either personally,

94
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:53,720
but >> that's fair. Of course, we haven't proven that duck will affect gaming

95
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,720
performance yet.

96
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:02,000
Of course, none of this proves that duck will impact our FPS. So, to follow

97
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:07,280
through with our experiment, we are going to now game on our two systems to

98
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,759
see if they perform the same. All right, Jordan. Truthfully, I'm not expecting a

99
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,280
difference in the actual performance of these machines. If we were going to see

100
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:20,800
any kind of difference, it would be in the temperatures. Because while the

101
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:22,639
water is still relatively clear, that

102
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,560
doesn't tell us what our blocks are going to look like. The insides of our

103
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:31,360
blocks could easily end up gked up because they tend to have really, really

104
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,840
tight fins in them that can actually kind of filter out some of the microbes

105
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,280
that are floating around in the loop. That doesn't mean the loop is clean. It

106
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:43,280
just means that the water might look relatively clear even though there's a

107
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:49,520
lot of gunk that grew in it and it's gumming up the blocks. So, I'm at about

108
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,840
just over 30° on my CPU. Where are you

109
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,120
at? >> I got uh yeah, just under 30, over 30 now. Hovering right around there. Uh 27

110
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:02,639
on my GPU and I'm dead. >> Yeah, I'm about the same. My GPU is a

111
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,639
little over 30°, but the mounting for

112
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:07,599
GPU water blocks is so inconsistent that I really wouldn't read that much into

113
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,599
that. Yeah, we're close enough that this really doesn't matter. >> But it's worth noting that even at two

114
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:18,319
months long, this is still a relatively short-term test. And I strongly believe

115
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:21,759
based on what we've seen today, that if you were to leave a dirty water loop

116
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,879
like this running over an extended period of time, let's say 6 months to a

117
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:31,759
couple of years, it would absolutely gunk up, become contaminated, and

118
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,880
ultimately cost you a lot of time and or money to go in and clean or replace your

119
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:39,919
parts. So, in conclusion, let's go team water. Check out the link in the video

120
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,560
description so you guys can help contribute to this amazing initiative to

121
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:50,560
get millions of people clean drinking water and let's get millions of people

122
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,320
this segue. Odo, pause that please. I'm

123
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:56,880
ODO. Okay, so the concept here is that ODU

124
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,040
has all of the apps you need to run your business. Integrated CRM, project

125
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:06,800
management, point of sale, even building your own custom app. Uh, ODO can do all

126
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,360
of that. So, it's like a guy with eight

127
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,800
arms, >> but he's only got four arms. >> Yeah, but uh that's only because if we

128
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,920
showed a guy with eight arms, then you know that would look it would look kind

129
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:21,120
of weird. >> This looks weird. >> Well, okay. Yeah, but it's uh it's to

130
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:26,320
illustrate, you know, the metaphor, >> which is what >> that ODO's full suite of business apps

131
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:31,519
is all you need to run your business. It's got everything you want. >> I want to see a guy with eight arms.

132
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:36,880
>> Fine. Fine. Um Okay. Show the guy with eight arms. No. Why?

133
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,320
>> Oh, no. >> Oh, I I was wrong. >> No, no, no to that.

134
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:45,519
>> Get a free 15-day trial of ODO's all-in-one business solution and see how

135
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,320
it can make your life easier. I'm ODU. >> If you guys enjoyed this video, why

136
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:56,080
don't you go check out the one we did for Team Trees years ago. We made a tree

137
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:58,320
planting cannon. It didn't work. Unless

138
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,320
our goal was to raise money for tree planting, then it did
