00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,440
so you might have seen our video a little while back where we chopped up a

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,639
gtx titan so it could fit in a single

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,519
pci express slot with a card installed

4
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:18,240
right next to it that mod included water cooling though and we thought

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:22,880
why don't we try and do one better what if we made a single slot card that's

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,160
air-cooled alex why don't you quit your bitchin and get

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:35,000
to work so get your angle grinders revving because the gtx titan is going

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:43,440
on the chopping block once again

9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:51,760
experience MSI's gs63 vr laptop now with

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,719
NVIDIA's GeForce gtx 1070 max-q check it

11
00:00:51,760 --> 00:01:00,559
out at the link below making a double slot card the height of

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,199
a single slot card with air cooling isn't particularly easy if it was then

13
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:09,119
this would be a lot more common than

14
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:14,000
this this video has been a long time in the

15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:18,000
making so we got to work measuring every important bit of the titan to make a

16
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,720
solidworks model which will actually link if you guys want to make your own

17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:27,600
mod to one of these for whatever reason with the model for the single slot

18
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:32,400
adapter made it was time to print now pla filament would pass the glass

19
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:38,320
transition temperature when the titan was stressed turning into a deformed

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,040
blob so we ended up using abs

21
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,439
with the 3d printed part in hand well one thing became clear and that's

22
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:49,840
that our calipers hold a zero like a drunk hits a bullseye

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,479
but all the critical dimensions were close enough so we just needed to

24
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:57,040
perform a little bit of massaging to get everything to uh

25
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:02,240
kind of fit together for our next trick then we'll

26
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,680
need a low profile fan thanks cooler guys you have everything

27
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:11,680
now we were hoping to cannibalize the fan and mount it where the original fan

28
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,800
went but unfortunately this press fit bearing

29
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:22,000
holder prevented us from doing so so it was time for super cannibalization with

30
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:27,920
this angle grinder and the savagery continues the wonderful

31
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,560
cooler mounting plate for the titan well

32
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,280
i'm afraid that anything that was going to be too high to fit in a single slot

33
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:40,000
was gonna have to go excellent so everything seems to be

34
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,040
coming together fairly well let's move on then to the final step

35
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,640
which brandon dubbed torture porn for nerds

36
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,800
chopping up the heatsink originally we thought that just the good

37
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:58,400
old angle grinder would do the trick allowing us to relatively easily slice

38
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:03,440
through these thin fins unfortunately that ended up taking too long and

39
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,480
grinding aluminum is actually really sketchy

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,959
so we moved on to our favorite method of heatsink chopping the reciprocating saw

41
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,760
and oh oh god oh no

42
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:19,239
oh please stop oh the humanity

43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,800
like we said before using an angle grinder or a reciprocating saw those

44
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:31,440
would be terrible ideas so we ran out and bought a belt sander

45
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:36,000
to ensure that we didn't cause any more unnecessary harm to the heat sink while

46
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:39,120
we cut down its size it really is amazing how much easier

47
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,680
things are when you have the right tool for the job with the heatsink now at the

48
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,319
right height we just had to remove any loose bits of aluminum because if one of

49
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,400
those crosses the traces on the pcb it's game over and then

50
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,040
slap it all together it's actually a little bit easier to

51
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,480
assemble now than stock since there are way less screws

52
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,640
so that's a plus the fan mounts with some strong

53
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,560
double-sided tape the see-through panel had to be glued onto the outside instead

54
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,560
of the inside like on the original model but i mean this was

55
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,639
so that we could maximize the area of the fins because in truth having the

56
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,720
glass on the inside would have meant about 20 percent less cooling

57
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:26,000
unfortunately though when we went to test it the fan wouldn't work

58
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,320
possibly because of the grinding we could have gotten another fan but if

59
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,320
we're being honest that just wasn't going to be enough airflow anyway so we

60
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:39,440
went back to the drawing board and designed a 140 millimeter fan to dryer

61
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:46,160
vent adapter and a new single slot cover inspired by

62
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,080
server gpus without a hole for the fan

63
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,479
the good people at my mini factory printed that up for us the parts arrived

64
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,560
and we could finally smash them into the computer as hard as you guys are

65
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:01,040
smashing the like button right now so we bolted the adapter to a knock to a

66
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,759
140 millimeter industrial fan at max speed and then squeezed it into the case

67
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
before connecting the dryer vent to the graphics card we added some foam to the

68
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:14,800
back to prevent the dryer vent from shorting anything out we then attached

69
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:20,639
the vent the red green way lots of duct tape and finished it off with some tuck

70
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,479
tape for that industrial quality seal

71
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:31,199
now it just needs to be encouraged in and we're good to go

72
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,479
oh my god what is this

73
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:37,680
wow this actually looks

74
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:40,400
like shockingly not

75
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:44,560
i mean the dick butt is sort of unnecessary but uh

76
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,960
does this work where does it exhaust from okay that seems to be a bit of a

77
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:54,560
design flaw there yeah did you not think to maybe cut vents here like single slot

78
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,240
graphics cards usually do okay okay okay

79
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,600
okay oh boy oh boy

80
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:04,240
oh buddy oh boy you better shut this baby down

81
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:09,680
before you overheat here and while we could have spent the rest

82
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:13,680
of the day taking it all apart modifying it carefully and putting it back

83
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:17,680
together it was easier to whip out the saw and hack off the last inch of the

84
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:21,520
cover to give it some breathing room which

85
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,759
hardly helped it all of course it thermal throttled again

86
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:30,160
because our heatsink was crazy restrictive and getting almost no

87
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:36,400
airflow also this whole thing was kind of a dumb idea

88
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,479
alex did the calculations before he even

89
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:43,120
started the project and no matter how much air you push across the fins if

90
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,520
they're that size you're not going to get the cooling needed for a titan so i

91
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:55,600
guess the real takeaway from today's video is that math exists for a reason

92
00:06:53,039 --> 00:07:00,319
yeah some of us already knew that ring ring who's there nobody this is

93
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,960
just my hand but if i was using a real phone and i was calling ting the mobile

94
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,639
carrier that's focused on customer satisfaction i would be talking to a

95
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,960
real person no robots no automated phone

96
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:18,160
tree no nothing because they actually care and what's crazy about that is you

97
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:24,400
don't pay extra ting users pay only for the voice and

98
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:29,440
data that they actually use with the average bill being only 23 bucks a month

99
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:35,680
per device and if you're stuck in a contract they'll even cover 25 of your

100
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,199
cancellation fee up to 75 i mean that

101
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:43,759
could be three months of your cell service they even have lower mobile data rates

102
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:49,199
than ever before with data now just 10 a gig beyond the first gig so head over to

103
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:54,720
