we spend a not insignificant amount of time browsing websites like aliexpress
and wish for the coolest craziest
gadgets and today is no exception allow me to
introduce the mod x water pump mobile phone cooler for huawei xiaomi sam sung
samsung iphone 10 10 r11 lg phone smartphone
cooling case phone gamer cooler from
mod x yes my friends this is a phone water
cooler specifically for gamers and it
will allow you to eat chicken on the king is that a pub g reference yeah like
winner winner chicken dinner eat chicken on the king it sounds more like eat
chicken on the can speaking of cans can i segue to our
sponsor yes i can the yours 15g features an Intel 10th gen processor and is a pro
gaming notebook with strong performance battery life and many more features
check it out today at the link in the video description
say goodbye to traditional fan cooling with this i'm gonna go from temperature
when play game abnormal 67c to
temperature when play game normal 37c
and we are just going to say goodbye to traditional fan cooling wow this is the
cheapest thing i have ever felt this is 25 us dollars
look at it it's like a squeeze bottle it's like a water bottle so for the pump
they're using a simple submersible design so this is anywhere from three
and a half to nine volts one to three watts and then they've got a usb plug so
you can just power that with uh with a battery bank when you're on the go
reasonably long cable actually and the cable doesn't feel particularly cheap
i'm guessing somebody else made the pump something something 50 mils
andy sorry did you just say ass bag i-c-e oh
s-bag no no you put it in the thing yeah okay
thanks andy okay i'm a little uncertain so we got a little holy hole here and
then it seems like it's just like uh some kind of velcro like fastener there
okay so you can fill it anywhere from 50 to 100 mils yo dawg i heard you like ice
packs so i put an ice pack on your ice pack
it says water cooled mobile phone radiator and that happens to be the one
part of a water cooling system that is not included a radiator so i guess
that's the idea is they actually give you three of these gel crystal filled packs
here and then you just pop that sucker in there
and you're off to the races ladies and gentlemen should we fill it up and just
try it 100 100 yeah i wonder if the pump works that would be really crappy if it
didn't that would be a bummer lttstore.com here you go
all right that's actually a lot of water i can see
how even without a radiator for the amount of time you would reasonably
spend like hunched over a mobile device gaming this would probably be enough to
just absorb the heat i think you underestimate how much candy crush
people play
i like the position of the fittings on the back i think that's pretty uh
ergonomic like by the time you got your shoulder buttons or whatever
attachment doodads or whatever on there yeah that was a small hand test probably
probably yeah yeah that's a small hand test i'd probably hold this here and apparently these guys have support for
what do they say 99 of phones they have 99 of phones on the one hand i don't
believe it because that's impossible there are so many phones out there but
on the other hand it looks like the way that they produce these is actually
pretty uh pretty cookie cutter like they basically just need to get their hands
on the device and creating this like simple flexible plastic mold and then
like a second layer here that acts as a water bladder it's
pretty straightforward is this what i think it is it's mood ring stuff no no
it's like a it's a temperature sticker yeah but like like mood ring style
should we put our little sticky on there yeah riddle me this is this for the
phone or is this for the water then again no no it's got to be no no it's
got to be for the phone because it says right here phone temperature when play
game 37 degrees that's beyond our scale
uh and so that one will change a different
color maybe don't put it on the phone i want it on the phone
are testing i want it on the phone Jake the people need to know
oh we already have a sticker on our phone dbrand or whatever
yeah put it on the water don't fine okay hold on gotta get some sticker
perfection going on here very
perfectly aligned okay let's see it's not perfect it's a
little crooked 23 ish yeah nice that's what the sticker said
why didn't you trust the sticker Jake i don't know so which one do we want to
start with should we do 3dmark should we just do that throttle test i want to go
straight to 3dmark 3d if you're if you're doing an extended
gaming session you're probably probably plugged in yeah yeah so we should be
plugged in for sure if you have this realistically you're plugged in yeah
what is extreme unlimited does that one just keep going
i'm a little weirded out by the fittings that i'm looking at here so these
seem to be some kind of uh like a pass through
oh okay i get it so you tighten down the
collar and it kind of squeezes like a
these these plastic pieces so they hold the tubing in place you can see there
you can kind of separate them out there and then as for the pump you just kind
of it's it's a submersible pump anyway so it doesn't really matter if it's a
perfect seal so you just kind of jam that puppy in there oh
did you oh man no okay it's fine
and then on the other side we've just got a simple
insertion fitting that hopefully doesn't
leak are you ready you ready it's oh
that water flow is not good
that's it it doesn't even fill up what
we're on our second 3d mark run and what kind of attempts are we looking at here
i think on the top right now we're looking at about 43.3
yeah that's pretty reflective though let's look at the back in the back
43.6 almost 44 we're getting there it's going to take a minute to heat up it's
starting to become uncomfortable we've got to get to temperature when play game
abnormal 67c well well that's like the CPU temperature right right give it some
time the surface temperatures are going down yeah our screen is 41.42 and the back is
43. and we just finished our fourth run look
at those numbers but the scores are way down so it's throttling to keep the
surface temperatures under control which means after just
three and a half runs we've reached the point where there could be
a benefit oh clear benefit get it get it clear benefit hey got em clear benefit
to using our phone water cooler
however before we use this i kind of want to know
how bad that gets and i want to deal with the false
advertising on the packaging for this product so
first of all the implication here seems to be that there's some sort of RGB
lighting in the reservoir i mean that product photo looks nothing like
what they delivered okay and flipping around to the other side
the tubing or the water or something is clearly
blue so i feel like our water needs to be blue
yes oh yeah wow dye pack dump the gun look at that
water flow it's just it's just hold on hold on actually that's hilarious it's
actually it's not a spring it's just a drip hit me with some more blue here i'm
gonna go whoa
that's a lot of blue it looks looks kind of like the product
page now gosh it's so slow look you can actually you can see here
hold on if i put this down there's no water flow at the edges of the case
you're just gonna dip it oh man oh yeah
look at the other leds they're tripping man there's no way that that's not short
circuiting right now should we give it a few minutes to cool down no i think we
should just let this thing work its magic right away other than being a
little bit on the bulgy side which obviously it needs because it's got that
that water bladder you can really see that there
it actually fits the phone
pretty well got to give credit where credit is due i
mean bad website uh misleading box
but like that's that's on there
look at the camera it's like 37 degrees on the camera and
then ice cold on the back okay well not as cold yet not ice cold
yet i just realized uh this is actually bad that the RGB strip is in there we're
heating the water with it oh not much it's i can see it chill out it's 25
degrees on that RGB strip end we're hurting our results Linus i think we're
okay so opengl that's not good
but vulcan that's on par no
so i guess it just took a second to cool down it took a really long time because
it is not very thermally conductive we didn't give it any time to cool down
either we probably should have but let's see how it goes now because this is this
is exactly exactly what we want to know is the use case you just slap it on does
it does it does it fix the problem it crashed way to go now you interrupted it
well it said 7270 as of the result
it looked like our benchmark crashed but that score
that's better that's almost as good as the first run oh please don't crash this
time it is getting a little warmer no actually the reservoir is getting a
touch warmer so you can see it's hovering somewhere between 24 and 26 now
instead of 22.24 so it's definitely heating up hey we're done
uh 7263 and 65.78 how are we doing that's
basically spot on with the first run it works it works no way the system works
and now i'm gonna go see if our ice pack is cold wow okay yeah minus five minus
five and a half yeah it's completely frozen i made the mistake of
freezing it flat and i didn't realize this is the um
not very useful gel kind of a cold pack where it doesn't it's not really a gel
it's just ice oh man can we just get ice
no
oh my god okay this is not very well thought out
i mean i can see the ice pack through the water i think it is getting colder i
feel like i'm having like an anakin skywalker but it's working
the thermal camera says 20 and a half 21
degrees oh yeah and the sticker says
20 and a half 21 degrees yeah it's good thing we got that on there the sticker
works great it's my idea to put it on the reservoir right totally good job
Linus video evidence will show that it was my idea no no it's got to be for the
fault the water distribution is still terrible it's like
26 degrees in the corner and then like
18 on the phone what if i use the little bubble that's in there to like mix up
the water how about that does that work no it doesn't it did move it around a
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
cool on my fingertips though like that's not that great of a user experience
what okay
good morning just need more ice
gotta play pubg we're not even playing pubg
nice snort there it's so stupid
we called now boys oh 11. 11.4 oh yeah we dropping pick it
up let's see how cool it is i mean the phone not the
oh good try though
oh it's like black nice
10.8 degrees starting to get some condensation on the case you know thank
goodness this phone is ip rated right yeah so we can use you know a good
cooler on it after this test should you try it try to do some gaming let's
evaluate the the feel i can already tell it's pretty
unpleasant like it's like my fingers are very cold
i think it's more reasonable to have it running near ambient and it works well
enough yeah we're just trying to see if we can squeeze more performance out of
it at this point okay here we go you ready for a score
you ready for scoreboys 72.70 65.96
that made no difference at all it's exactly the same okay actually the
vulcan run is the highest number we've seen so far yeah but marginally it's not
like it's going to overclock itself silliness with the
dumb included gel packs that don't really fit in the reservoir and
uninspiring build quality aside this thing
actually works so even with the limited
thermal transfer from a thin plastic
layer enough heat is drawn away from the phone
and it takes so long for the reservoir to heat up that i said i would say this
is actually a reasonable way to cool
your phone assume look Jake
assuming that obviously you don't need to you know move anywhere over an
extended period of time which obviously you don't because you're sitting playing
pub g mobile for hours at a time and and compared to other solutions that
we've looked at in the past what's nice about this one is that if you're done
playing pubg mobile and you want to actually take your phone with you and
not be attached to your water cooling setup you
just pop it out of the case it's that quick and it's off to the races i don't
know that i would spend 25 us dollars on it but andy said you
can get them for as little as like seven or eight dollars i think it was like five or ten yeah thermal throttling on
your phone is legitimately a problem for you
it works this is not the dumbest solution you probably don't need ice but
no no the ice is dumb that part is dumb yeah i mean it works i i guess it really
works just like my segways to sponsors like
microcenter is open to supply all your work from home or learn from home
technology needs they've got the main gear vector2 gaming laptop available for
12.99 on microcenter.com or 13.99 over

if you guys enjoyed this crazy cooling video you might enjoy sync water cooling
a pc we can link that one down below or maybe uh water cooling a ti 84 graphing
calculator that one resulted in some pretty significant performance gains i
didn't watch it in fairness it was it was a big deal i didn't watch it
doom went from like doom yeah yeah
on the couch playing doom on the calculator okay yeah it went from what
that like went from like not playable to like almost playable
