at this brandon there's so much space back here because","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":298.32,"end_s":304.88,"text":"of like the io and stuff that you can't just you can't just put it here and then put","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":303.039,"end_s":307.84,"text":"it down on the box i guess i just have to do it like this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":306.24,"end_s":312.4,"text":"then like is this how you did it not even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":310.4,"end_s":316.8,"text":"close oh all right well this is how i'm doing it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":313.84,"end_s":316.8,"text":"all right there we go","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":317.44,"end_s":325.6,"text":"can i get that chipset cooler by any chance i'm going for the no-look

this is a very wimpy heatsink","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":330.8,"end_s":337.4,"text":"considering that it is designed to be used with a passive CPU

way","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":346.32,"end_s":351.52,"text":"it's just not a line they just used a

really guys","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":372.56,"end_s":379.039,"text":"okay it's not designed for end users clearly","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":376.56,"end_s":382.16,"text":"let's go ahead and pop this it's in the one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.0,"end_s":384.56,"text":"oh that makes sense yeah because like well can i just put it on for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":383.28,"end_s":389.12,"text":"temporaries i just want to i won't even put thermal compound on for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":387.52,"end_s":395.6,"text":"now i just want to see um oh i need a screwdriver no look catch","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":392.56,"end_s":397.759,"text":"no we're not doing that thanks","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":395.6,"end_s":402.8,"text":"man if they just sold this heatsink this thing is like badass look","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":401.12,"end_s":405.52,"text":"no idea if the performance is actually any good but it's definitely badass","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.639,"end_s":410.0,"text":"looking looks awesome are we like at the point","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":408.08,"end_s":412.96,"text":"of diminishing returns though being this far away from the CPU i guess not with

is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":449.36,"end_s":455.199,"text":"the first one like this this is a thanks i hate it and a

just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.88,"end_s":464.8,"text":"i had nothing against it i was super excited about it until i had to actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":462.56,"end_s":470.0,"text":"like touch it you know it says on their website that it fits most cases

really","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":613.12,"end_s":620.399,"text":"really wrong what we're about to do right now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":616.16,"end_s":621.6,"text":"all right oh okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":620.399,"end_s":627.68,"text":"all right i will lift it oh crap

think","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":673.68,"end_s":680.8,"text":"getting on the table might be the best solution i think that this table is

whether you can water cool an air cooler hold on we got to get all the fins alex what'd we get 85 nice what kind of motherboard has nowhere to install a CPU well no motherboard all motherboards need a CPU because otherwise what would do the processing but if you look at this one there's something a little unusual about it right you got your pci express sockets you got your memory slots and you got just a blank metal plate that's because the CPU socket is on the back but why well as it turns out this motherboard was designed with some pretty unique cooling concepts in mind and i for one cannot wait to try it out and i can't wait to tell you about our sponsor dot tech dot tech domains and namecheap are donating 100 of all sales proceeds from dot tech domain sold until july 5th to code.org to help make computer science education more accessible check out go.tech LTT to learn more other than the CPU socket being on the opposite side the antec rev q270 is a pretty standard looking industrial motherboard what i can't say the same about is the heatsink that they designed for it and in order to explain why they thought that this was the best solution i think we're going to have to back up entec is a spin-off company of edac electronic technology co who specializes in inspection equipment for electronics manufacturers like foxconn panasonic and sony aka these guys are the badasses that do the engineering work that lets other engineers test their engineering work and for their inspection equipment edac needed to have ultra-stable computers that are basically impervious to dust so logically they just went ahead and designed their own motherboard and flipped the CPU socket around you see when you're working in a manufacturing or fabrication oriented space there's nothing you can do about the fact that there is going to be some dust in the air and unlike in your bedroom we're not talking about cat hair we're talking about potential metal filings microscopic ones floating around in the air which can eventually cause enormous problems for a computer that's why in a workshop passively cooled machines like this one from compulab here are king even slow spinning fans with an excellent dust filter are going to quickly get clogged but to pull off this little marvel compulab had to create an entirely custom chassis motherboard and actually a fair number of other things so edac wanted to create something that's a little more modular and a little more affordable which explains how we ended up with a standard atx form factor motherboard but it still doesn't explain this well the thing is to passively cool a CPU even one that's not terribly powerful you need a lot of metal and edac wasn't able to fit a big enough cooler on the front of the case while still allowing for pci express expansion see that so after putting in the work to create this motherboard for their own uses edac thought well i mean yeah what if somebody else found this useful thus eggtech was born and we were able to get our hands on this motherboard so let's try it out wait we are going to submerge it in water right well yeah sorry not that well yeah not that one not that oh but but the thing yeah oh good just making sure everything about this feels wrong starting with flipping over the motherboard to install the CPU uh we're going with a core i7 6700k this is near the top end of what this motherboard can support but we're going to try a 7700k a little bit later and oh this is an interesting note uh is there no cooler for the chipset i don't know actually there is oh wonderful hey look at this when i see stuff like this it makes me wonder if the engineers at anc tech aren't uh watching LTT because we have said a lot of times it's baffling given how shamelessly computer companies rip each other off that more of them haven't just ripped off knocked to a secufer mounting mechanism and that's basically what this is except with kind of a clever cost saving measure so they use an o-ring here to secure the back bolts instead of having them be press fitted which is just kind of cheaper but a lot better than having them just flop around like a lot of other guys do there we go oh huh well didn't think of that look at this brandon there's so much space back here because of like the io and stuff that you can't just you can't just put it here and then put it down on the box i guess i just have to do it like this then like is this how you did it not even close oh all right well this is how i'm doing it all right there we go can i get that chipset cooler by any chance i'm going for the no-look catch oh what the who does that i threw it at my head this is a very wimpy heatsink considering that it is designed to be used with a passive CPU cooler not much to it and no way it's just not a line they just used a generic whatever this spacing which is pretty standard heatsink and it doesn't actually line up with the little like silkscreen marks they made for where it's supposed to sit another cost-saving measure is that it doesn't come with a cmos battery so you'll just have to get your own uh cr2032 three volt cell and pop it in really guys okay it's not designed for end users clearly let's go ahead and pop this it's in the one oh that makes sense yeah because like well can i just put it on for temporaries i just want to i won't even put thermal compound on for now i just want to see um oh i need a screwdriver no look catch no we're not doing that thanks man if they just sold this heatsink this thing is like badass look no idea if the performance is actually any good but it's definitely badass looking looks awesome are we like at the point of diminishing returns though being this far away from the CPU i guess not with a passive heat sink i see we've gone with trident z royal dims because i guess we're going for the most thematically coherent build of all time now all we need ah is a case large and hefty enough to accommodate this flippin beast and as alex alluded to before there is no case hefty enough to fit this heatsink through the motherboard tray while you're installing the motherboard so we're gonna go ahead and pop it off now everything about this feels just kind of wrong you know i've built so many computers in my life and this is the first one like this this is a thanks i hate it and a half like cursed motherboard you have against this thing it's just i had nothing against it i was super excited about it until i had to actually like touch it you know it says on their website that it fits most cases on summer fire modification yeah we tried a few cases and lots of them interfered with the top of these heat pipes and i think having your compatibility list account for people doing modifications to their case is kind of cheating because with a dremel theoretically anything is compatible with anything oh that looks awesome i mean by the time you hack a hole in your side panel it's probably not going to be the cleanest mod ever done but the potential's there well let's get occt running right this is a CPU stressing tool that will allow us to see just how well that heatsink can keep up with a 6700k hottest cores up at around 65 degrees right now it's not even hot to the touch yet there's just so much metal right up at the top of those heat pipes there but you can also really see what a great job heat pipes do of moving heat around it's not that much cooler at the very end of the heat pipe it's really even meanwhile over here you can see that with every load spike temperatures were peaking a little bit higher than before until now you know what probably happened the tiny bit of airflow from me moving the case around probably caused it to go down a little bit let's keep it still again it steadied at around 80 degrees on the hottest core which is not what we were expecting based on either inktext testing or steve from gamer's nexus's testing however we have observed that our CPU is only running at around 3.45 gigahertz so we're thinking maybe there's a biosetting that's not allowing it to run at full power let me go ahead and try that yeah we got turbo working and it can't do it we managed to thermal throttle within about two or three minutes but entec doesn't say you can do that and it's a pretty easy problem to solve if you want to just throw a big 200 millimeter fan on here but steve from gamer's nexus already did that we have other ideas okay not too much because remember this has some oh my gosh this feels really really really wrong what we're about to do right now all right oh okay all right i will lift it oh crap i'm stuck i'm snagged dog our power cable is cable tied lttstore.com baby get them cable ties okay okay oh this feels so wrong wait where are the CPU temp set uh oh it's thermal throttling right now okay here we go okay is it fine i mean theoretically it should be fine oh wow down to 74. now that's water cooling boys okay so we're at about 70 degrees i think we can do better okay phase one lift the computer uh i think getting on the table might be the best solution i think that this table is on wheels and that's it's still running okay um no yeah no you're not getting on the table alex you ready yep yeah go ahead lift it okay you're gonna have to have it for a little while though what's that not good did it power off firing back on hold hold i'm holding okay one second i just need to okay wait i just need to wait hold on i need to oh god all right there is ah there's water hold on you gotta put it over this one okay i got your second bucket here okay we you know what we've got a little bit of submersion but we're gonna have to add some more water i'm gonna start another render should be fine we're learning so many things today that will never be applicable to anyone else ever again small problem alex yeah i think i may have actually splashed the vrms over here when i rocked it back and forth can you see that yeah it's water okay well that might explain why it was crashing under load i'll put these in for fun while alex gets a bag of ice this is so cool you can see the very end of the heatsink is a little bit cooler and you can kind of see a halo of warmth around it in the water hey brandon check this out we were trying to stick a thermal probe in the water near the heatsink to kind of see how close these values are and it kept reading exactly the same as far away and what we realized is it takes such a small disruption to move these warm areas of water that you basically can't measure it by physically sticking something in watch this watch this okay i'm gonna blow on the surface of the water that cool wanna get a shot of the premium ice get the ingredients please all right just got it this bag's just gotta give birth here birth bag no i got this when this hits it are we gonna have a titanic failure you'll have to excuse me for not knowing how to use a bag of ice i don't entertain much i don't have any friends alex invited me to a super bowl viewing party once though that was kind of him yeah you brought your kids it was really cool okay so we're currently at 92 degrees celsius uh-huh oh okay there's uh there's four ice cubes stuck under the heatsink this is so stupid well look come on it's i don't make the rules around here brandon so that puts us at around 60 degrees but i think we can do better because as we've learned even just small differences in location or flow can make a big difference to the actual temperature so right up here it's like 0.7 degrees and then you go you know what to eight to nine centimeters lower and you're at eight degrees if only there was a way that we could move the fluid around inside the container you think of everything don't you how fun is this okay let's add a pump this is a submersible pump do you want to go ahead and plug it in on the other side uh sure uh and i'm just gonna yolo it i guess right okay the power cable's only in there a bit should be fine i mean the pumps power cable is in there too what could go wrong okay that seems like a good spot oh that's chili it's a chili boy oh it's splashy oh it's really splashy alex hold on turn it back on turn it back on i'm trying to show the peeps uh yeah that's a little splashy for my liking uh i don't know let's find out maybe if it was just the right amount of splashy is it still blending it is but i think the temperature is like the same that kind of makes sense because it was coldest at the top no no no it's trending down look it's totally trending down and we're still at 4.37 you can totally see the water like touching the base of the heatsink settling in at 56 degrees on the package full load pretty practical right yeah for sure and you might get the opportunity to daily drive a cooling system like this because they're actually releasing a more gaming oriented i guess product it's based on a z490 chipset so um yeah and we could probably come up with something better for daily driving couldn't we i think we can we will we will i promise make sure you're subscribed and make sure you check out our sponsor thanks to flexispot
