before you tell us this is an incredibly stupid idea trust us we know Alex did
the math so according to Bernoulli's equation going through this adapter
right here none of that's important what's
important is that we are going to use this two and a half horsepower
gasoline-powered pump to water cool a PC and no matter how stupid it is you can't
wait to see it just like you can't wait to hear about our sponsor kiwico kiwico
ships out crates that contain Hands-On projects for kids to help develop their
creative confidence and problem solving skills learn more at the end of this
video or at the link down below you cut me off before we get to the good part
this D5 pump has an approximate flow velocity of 11 kilometers per hour wow
that's actually a lot faster than I thought it would be take a guess what it will be with this pump I don't think I
have to guess I think you put it here oh you didn't you bastard holy crap
1800 watts yeah that's two and a half horsepower
50 kilometers an hour 74.8 holy we could
conceivably be talking about this thing blowing the tubes off of our blocks then
oh yeah that's what this entire setup is about I love that it's called power fist
this here is a pump for real men and this is not just a pump this is for
transferring water muffas this thing
could hold a column of water 85 feet in the air use as intended how little fun
is that wow this is the size of a
freaking lawnmower engine a lawnmower engine with a pump on it now this ain't
a pump there's a pump obviously we're gonna need some adapters
and that's where this Hardware that we probably paid way too much money for
comes in Ahoy there morons how much did
this adapter to adapter to adapter to adapter cost us I'm not sure actually
this was Jamie's solution and I agree it's not a bad solution is this one of
the ones where you mix the oil in with the gas or no you just put it in here
until it overflows I am pretty sure these are gonna leak but it doesn't really matter we'll just tighten them
until they don't I don't think it works that way it
actually does their npt what is this I think it might be compressed air fitting
yeah oh wow that's got a greater inner diameter but it's also going straight
from like freaking here to that I juggle
and the last one left in my hands we use
okay okay but
we use this one okay cool hahaha you did
it you brought an adjustable wrench this is a perfectly fine time to use an
adjustable wrench yeah it is you can round these and it's not really a
problem holy crap is this it we just hook it up and go well we need the suction side and
a professional sucker always brings his hose it's long and ribbed
my pasty nerd skin cannot take the sun especially after wintering for
six months
big garbage pail because we figure
that makes sense there's a lot of Gunk floating in it yeah Jamie took a filter
through it as well and kind of cleaned it out it didn't work very well the
first thing we have to do is just hook it up and go right oh yeah all right
let's put some gas in I love this this is good safety right here you should
always have your fuel stored a safe distance away from anything that could
possibly spark yeah Jamie suggested that we should get some gasoline on the hot
exhaust that's right beside it no he didn't ah yes Prime do we have a little
like pumpa Doodle for priming it I really don't know if this is the way to
prime it Alex I watched a couple YouTube videos and they said this is the way to
do it okay priming means getting the water from here to the actual Inlet of
the pump because you run this bad boy dry you're not gonna like it no matter
how much choke you apply okay that almost never happens to me
uh it's not actually sucking yet
this is really not a good way to do this crying out loud here if I just help you
line it up maybe it'll be okay my hand slipped it did not
ah okay that's good you like Charlie Brown with the football getting back in
there again it's a dated reference
ah I slept
not 100 sure that this PC is going to
well it's already dead so it can't not survive but you know the fittings that
are in here I don't know if they're going to be up for the task we do have
these ones from alpha cool that have little metal barbs in them that should
be fine but we only have those in Boone to the sleeper PC and I don't know if I
want to hook that up to this but first the test on the broken Hardware yeah
oh that's leaking whoa oh shoot ah maybe
turn it off yeah yep I got it I got it holy bananas I might have just forgot a
fitting oh yeah Primo
turn it up a bit
ah it really seems like it's not blowing
that fast let's give her more juice yeah see look something's wrong something's
leaking sorry
I just changed into dry clothes
I think there's just a ton of pressure in the loop yeah it seems like a lot of
pressure and not a lot of whoa yeah it's weird and I think there's something back
here leaking or something is this a radiator leaking I think there is a
fitting on the bottom of it that's definitely where it was coming out of
okay let's get that tightened down whoa this just slipped off too these
compressions are not the right size for this tubing I was hoping it would blow
off when we turned the thing off well it did you will be trapped it which makes
me wonder how often he screws me over like that do you think we should switch
to our higher flow rate ID Barb over
here I kind of feel like we should yeah maybe let's do that
what are you doing crap
you see this play here oh yeah that's kind of weird we didn't learn anything
there's a lot of vibration um
here oh the thing fell out
this is going really well ah why is it
so bad you know what it's designed for a
hose something that's supposed to have a lip around that I don't think the full
rates much faster anyway no we might as well just go back to the other one
is that full more no whoa
there we go why is there so little oh my gosh
awesome ah what I'm doing right now is I am
using these quick connects at the bottom of the ubunta sleeper PC we're going to
connect our gasoline-powered pump to this loop I was really excited about
this moment but now that it's actually time to pull the rip cord this is my
favorite PC I've ever built in the five years I've been here I um the D5 that's
in here the like normal computer water cooling pump is having absolutely no
trouble pumping through our gas powered pump so we should disconnect that pump
yeah I was thinking about that I don't know if we can really Alex like I know
that you have pretty small hands but like oh balls
let's also grab MSI afterburner we can
probably overclock it a bit I don't think that'll be necessary Alex no but
this is the shun Moda GPU you can pull 800 watts God it stinks where's the
exhaust oh I'm right next to it at the lowest setting here I'd say our gas pump
is actually not materially different from a normal water cooling pump looking
at the flow meter she ain't really doing that much how's our GPU temps looking
42.8 degrees okay that's pretty low
considering we're running for Marcus stress test how many watts are we
drawing so about 600 watts right now this is a really good water block well
maybe I should run fernmark at a higher rest ah there we go 370. so it's been
over 700 bucks and we're up to 44 and a
half degrees the question that remains is by cranking this sucker up and
increasing our flow rate to the point we're at risk of blowing our tubes off
our fittings will we get a performance benefit like me do you feel as if your
whole life LED you to this moment yes okay we ready yep
we drove one and a half degrees Yeah
yeah oh wow it's really going though hey yeah 35
degrees on the GPU it's pretty impressive I really want to do a 3D Mark
I gave it a little bit of an overclock it should be stable might not we'll see
this is next level right most people start gaming their fans turn on a little
bit louder restart gaming you gotta give her more gas make that dinosaurs
look at him no that's awesome hey not really we might
be able to overclock our pumps wait what
oh there we go he's really going now
oh we're leaking a bit all right I think that's coming from in the PC what
this is terrifying
oh my God is it overheating is it smoking it smells really bad ah
whoa whoa okay I think this may be the
stupidest thing we've ever done yeah probably we got our store what's really
impressive here that graphic score is
like 100 off of when I had the chiller hooked up to it really that's freaking
crazy we only hit 44.
any true and Max about
760 Watts yeah unfreaking believable
I think that D5 pump might be dead she's uh not moving no signs of life
wait oh she's trying something uh well let's
get this shut down oh heck yeah I think she's back oh yeah
there we go that's awesome you're all right
she's alive a really important thing to note about the performance we saw though
is that we were using pre-cooled water so we didn't have to deal with all the
extra heat that a gas powered pump would be dumping into our Loop we got all the
benefit of fast flowing water but none of the drawbacks we I think it goes
