00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:16,240
say goodbye to traditional fan cooling with this i'm gonna go from temperature

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,240
when play game abnormal 67c to

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,799
temperature when play game normal 37c

18
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:26,880
and we are just going to say goodbye to traditional fan cooling wow this is the

19
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:33,040
cheapest thing i have ever felt this is 25 us dollars

20
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:38,560
look at it it's like a squeeze bottle it's like a water bottle so for the pump

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:43,520
they're using a simple submersible design so this is anywhere from three

22
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,000
and a half to nine volts one to three watts and then they've got a usb plug so

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,159
you can just power that with uh with a battery bank when you're on the go

24
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:56,399
reasonably long cable actually and the cable doesn't feel particularly cheap

25
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,320
i'm guessing somebody else made the pump something something 50 mils

26
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,680
andy sorry did you just say ass bag i-c-e oh

27
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:11,120
s-bag no no you put it in the thing yeah okay

28
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,440
thanks andy okay i'm a little uncertain so we got a little holy hole here and

29
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:20,160
then it seems like it's just like uh some kind of velcro like fastener there

30
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,959
okay so you can fill it anywhere from 50 to 100 mils yo dawg i heard you like ice

31
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,760
packs so i put an ice pack on your ice pack

32
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,319
it says water cooled mobile phone radiator and that happens to be the one

33
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:37,360
part of a water cooling system that is not included a radiator so i guess

34
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,480
that's the idea is they actually give you three of these gel crystal filled packs

35
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,599
here and then you just pop that sucker in there

36
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,920
and you're off to the races ladies and gentlemen should we fill it up and just

37
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,480
try it 100 100 yeah i wonder if the pump works that would be really crappy if it

38
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,640
didn't that would be a bummer lttstore.com here you go

39
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,040
all right that's actually a lot of water i can see

40
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,800
how even without a radiator for the amount of time you would reasonably

41
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,599
spend like hunched over a mobile device gaming this would probably be enough to

42
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,879
just absorb the heat i think you underestimate how much candy crush

43
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,879
people play

44
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,000
i like the position of the fittings on the back i think that's pretty uh

45
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,319
ergonomic like by the time you got your shoulder buttons or whatever

46
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,840
attachment doodads or whatever on there yeah that was a small hand test probably

47
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:39,200
probably yeah yeah that's a small hand test i'd probably hold this here and apparently these guys have support for

48
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,760
what do they say 99 of phones they have 99 of phones on the one hand i don't

49
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,799
believe it because that's impossible there are so many phones out there but

50
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:54,239
on the other hand it looks like the way that they produce these is actually

51
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:58,720
pretty uh pretty cookie cutter like they basically just need to get their hands

52
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:04,159
on the device and creating this like simple flexible plastic mold and then

53
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:07,920
like a second layer here that acts as a water bladder it's

54
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,720
pretty straightforward is this what i think it is it's mood ring stuff no no

55
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:16,959
it's like a it's a temperature sticker yeah but like like mood ring style

56
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,120
should we put our little sticky on there yeah riddle me this is this for the

57
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,199
phone or is this for the water then again no no it's got to be no no it's

58
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,160
got to be for the phone because it says right here phone temperature when play

59
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,120
game 37 degrees that's beyond our scale

60
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,000
uh and so that one will change a different

61
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,520
color maybe don't put it on the phone i want it on the phone

62
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,720
are testing i want it on the phone Jake the people need to know

63
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:46,560
oh we already have a sticker on our phone dbrand or whatever

64
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,000
yeah put it on the water don't fine okay hold on gotta get some sticker

65
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,919
perfection going on here very

66
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,240
perfectly aligned okay let's see it's not perfect it's a

67
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:02,320
little crooked 23 ish yeah nice that's what the sticker said

68
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,680
why didn't you trust the sticker Jake i don't know so which one do we want to

69
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:09,440
start with should we do 3dmark should we just do that throttle test i want to go

70
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,320
straight to 3dmark 3d if you're if you're doing an extended

71
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,520
gaming session you're probably probably plugged in yeah yeah so we should be

72
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:18,880
plugged in for sure if you have this realistically you're plugged in yeah

73
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,880
what is extreme unlimited does that one just keep going

74
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:28,080
i'm a little weirded out by the fittings that i'm looking at here so these

75
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,800
seem to be some kind of uh like a pass through

76
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:36,720
oh okay i get it so you tighten down the

77
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,039
collar and it kind of squeezes like a

78
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,520
these these plastic pieces so they hold the tubing in place you can see there

79
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:48,400
you can kind of separate them out there and then as for the pump you just kind

80
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,160
of it's it's a submersible pump anyway so it doesn't really matter if it's a

81
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:55,600
perfect seal so you just kind of jam that puppy in there oh

82
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,120
did you oh man no okay it's fine

83
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,639
and then on the other side we've just got a simple

84
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,919
insertion fitting that hopefully doesn't

85
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:14,080
leak are you ready you ready it's oh

86
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:18,240
that water flow is not good

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:23,440
that's it it doesn't even fill up what

88
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:26,639
we're on our second 3d mark run and what kind of attempts are we looking at here

89
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,120
i think on the top right now we're looking at about 43.3

90
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:37,280
yeah that's pretty reflective though let's look at the back in the back

91
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:40,160
43.6 almost 44 we're getting there it's going to take a minute to heat up it's

92
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,800
starting to become uncomfortable we've got to get to temperature when play game

93
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,160
abnormal 67c well well that's like the CPU temperature right right give it some

94
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:54,000
time the surface temperatures are going down yeah our screen is 41.42 and the back is

95
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,800
43. and we just finished our fourth run look

96
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,639
at those numbers but the scores are way down so it's throttling to keep the

97
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,400
surface temperatures under control which means after just

98
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:10,800
three and a half runs we've reached the point where there could be

99
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:17,360
a benefit oh clear benefit get it get it clear benefit hey got em clear benefit

100
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:20,240
to using our phone water cooler

101
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:24,160
however before we use this i kind of want to know

102
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,360
how bad that gets and i want to deal with the false

103
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:31,919
advertising on the packaging for this product so

104
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:36,639
first of all the implication here seems to be that there's some sort of RGB

105
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:41,360
lighting in the reservoir i mean that product photo looks nothing like

106
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,639
what they delivered okay and flipping around to the other side

107
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,240
the tubing or the water or something is clearly

108
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:53,199
blue so i feel like our water needs to be blue

109
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:58,639
yes oh yeah wow dye pack dump the gun look at that

110
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:02,879
water flow it's just it's just hold on hold on actually that's hilarious it's

111
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:06,160
actually it's not a spring it's just a drip hit me with some more blue here i'm

112
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:08,319
gonna go whoa

113
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:14,879
that's a lot of blue it looks looks kind of like the product

114
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:18,960
page now gosh it's so slow look you can actually you can see here

115
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,840
hold on if i put this down there's no water flow at the edges of the case

116
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:27,680
you're just gonna dip it oh man oh yeah

117
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,599
look at the other leds they're tripping man there's no way that that's not short

118
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,519
circuiting right now should we give it a few minutes to cool down no i think we

119
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:39,919
should just let this thing work its magic right away other than being a

120
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:44,480
little bit on the bulgy side which obviously it needs because it's got that

121
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:48,959
that water bladder you can really see that there

122
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:51,200
it actually fits the phone

123
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:56,800
pretty well got to give credit where credit is due i

124
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,000
mean bad website uh misleading box

125
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,519
but like that's that's on there

126
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,680
look at the camera it's like 37 degrees on the camera and

127
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,360
then ice cold on the back okay well not as cold yet not ice cold

128
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:15,200
yet i just realized uh this is actually bad that the RGB strip is in there we're

129
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:20,080
heating the water with it oh not much it's i can see it chill out it's 25

130
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:25,120
degrees on that RGB strip end we're hurting our results Linus i think we're

131
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,040
okay so opengl that's not good

132
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,080
but vulcan that's on par no

133
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,959
so i guess it just took a second to cool down it took a really long time because

134
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,080
it is not very thermally conductive we didn't give it any time to cool down

135
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:43,760
either we probably should have but let's see how it goes now because this is this

136
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,399
is exactly exactly what we want to know is the use case you just slap it on does

137
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:52,000
it does it does it fix the problem it crashed way to go now you interrupted it

138
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,680
well it said 7270 as of the result

139
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,200
it looked like our benchmark crashed but that score

140
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:05,839
that's better that's almost as good as the first run oh please don't crash this

141
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,600
time it is getting a little warmer no actually the reservoir is getting a

142
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:14,720
touch warmer so you can see it's hovering somewhere between 24 and 26 now

143
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,240
instead of 22.24 so it's definitely heating up hey we're done

144
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:23,920
uh 7263 and 65.78 how are we doing that's

145
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:30,560
basically spot on with the first run it works it works no way the system works

146
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,200
and now i'm gonna go see if our ice pack is cold wow okay yeah minus five minus

147
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:40,399
five and a half yeah it's completely frozen i made the mistake of

148
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:45,360
freezing it flat and i didn't realize this is the um

149
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:49,519
not very useful gel kind of a cold pack where it doesn't it's not really a gel

150
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:54,320
it's just ice oh man can we just get ice

151
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,320
no

152
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:03,839
oh my god okay this is not very well thought out

153
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,440
i mean i can see the ice pack through the water i think it is getting colder i

154
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,360
feel like i'm having like an anakin skywalker but it's working

155
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:18,480
the thermal camera says 20 and a half 21

156
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:20,560
degrees oh yeah and the sticker says

157
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,399
20 and a half 21 degrees yeah it's good thing we got that on there the sticker

158
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:28,720
works great it's my idea to put it on the reservoir right totally good job

159
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:33,519
Linus video evidence will show that it was my idea no no it's got to be for the

160
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:37,839
fault the water distribution is still terrible it's like

161
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,959
26 degrees in the corner and then like

162
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:45,519
18 on the phone what if i use the little bubble that's in there to like mix up

163
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,480
the water how about that does that work no it doesn't it did move it around a

164
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:53,200
bit all i'm seeing is like the residual heat from your finger no actually yeah it did work wow this is actually kind of

165
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:57,760
cool on my fingertips though like that's not that great of a user experience

166
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,160
what okay

167
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,000
good morning just need more ice

168
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,800
gotta play pubg we're not even playing pubg

169
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:15,440
nice snort there it's so stupid

170
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:21,279
we called now boys oh 11. 11.4 oh yeah we dropping pick it

171
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,480
up let's see how cool it is i mean the phone not the

172
00:12:22,839 --> 00:12:27,920
oh good try though

173
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,120
oh it's like black nice

174
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,519
10.8 degrees starting to get some condensation on the case you know thank

175
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,200
goodness this phone is ip rated right yeah so we can use you know a good

176
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:43,200
cooler on it after this test should you try it try to do some gaming let's

177
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,000
evaluate the the feel i can already tell it's pretty

178
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:50,160
unpleasant like it's like my fingers are very cold

179
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,839
i think it's more reasonable to have it running near ambient and it works well

180
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,720
enough yeah we're just trying to see if we can squeeze more performance out of

181
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,519
it at this point okay here we go you ready for a score

182
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:05,760
you ready for scoreboys 72.70 65.96

183
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,279
that made no difference at all it's exactly the same okay actually the

184
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:14,320
vulcan run is the highest number we've seen so far yeah but marginally it's not

185
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,839
like it's going to overclock itself silliness with the

186
00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:24,079
dumb included gel packs that don't really fit in the reservoir and

187
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:28,639
uninspiring build quality aside this thing

188
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:32,000
actually works so even with the limited

189
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:33,120
thermal transfer from a thin plastic

190
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,320
layer enough heat is drawn away from the phone

191
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:43,600
and it takes so long for the reservoir to heat up that i said i would say this

192
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,880
is actually a reasonable way to cool

193
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,040
your phone assume look Jake

194
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,120
assuming that obviously you don't need to you know move anywhere over an

195
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:58,000
extended period of time which obviously you don't because you're sitting playing

196
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:02,240
pub g mobile for hours at a time and and compared to other solutions that

197
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:06,160
we've looked at in the past what's nice about this one is that if you're done

198
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,639
playing pubg mobile and you want to actually take your phone with you and

199
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:12,480
not be attached to your water cooling setup you

200
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:16,880
just pop it out of the case it's that quick and it's off to the races i don't

201
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:21,199
know that i would spend 25 us dollars on it but andy said you

202
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:26,480
can get them for as little as like seven or eight dollars i think it was like five or ten yeah thermal throttling on

203
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,279
your phone is legitimately a problem for you

204
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,680
it works this is not the dumbest solution you probably don't need ice but

205
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:37,839
no no the ice is dumb that part is dumb yeah i mean it works i i guess it really

206
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:42,480
works just like my segways to sponsors like

207
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:46,000

if you guys enjoyed this crazy cooling video you might enjoy sync water cooling

215
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:25,040
a pc we can link that one down below or maybe uh water cooling a ti 84 graphing

216
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:28,560
calculator that one resulted in some pretty significant performance gains i

217
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:34,399
didn't watch it in fairness it was it was a big deal i didn't watch it

218
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,680
doom went from like doom yeah yeah

219
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:40,480
on the couch playing doom on the calculator okay yeah it went from what

220
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,600
that like went from like not playable to like almost playable
