@@adamallen2316 It is hard to describe. There's something _undecent_ about it - Uncultured maybe. Like wearing socks in sandals.
3 things I really wish you had tried:
1) mount the water pump on the side of the tub, so the water flows through the fins of the cooler.
2) putting that massive cpu cooler that came with the MB on a GPU
3) rigging that motherboard for LN2. Seem like you might be able to mount a pot on there in a way that keeps condensation off of the board.

@@bacon.cheesecake gamernexus already did it
When I was a kid I won a science fair by running performance tests on a junk computer with air cooling vs dry ice directly on the heat sink lol. This brought back memories.

This video is basically just Linus trying to re-invent custom watercooling
"What if we took heat fins, and put them in water"
"Hmm, adding a pump to move the water around would be more effective at cooling"
dont really need pump to move water around with that amount of water and heat source... convection current will do the trick.. but provide the surface of the water could cool down fast enough to prevent thermal throttling
@@victorng2996 It’s still more efficient to have a pump than a fucking bucket.
not really, it's inverting a water cooler. In normal water coolers the water is used to transport the heat away from the cpu into the fins which get air cooled by fans. Here he's literally using water as the cooler medium for the fins, if anything this is TRUE water cooling.
@@Zuilli completely agree. And eventually this system will gain temperature because it's just storing the heat in the water. Unless you bring in air to move the heat into the room, or water from the sink, it'll eventually gain temperature until equilibrium is reached (which would probably be at least room temperature)
@@NN-qj4sk well i said convection current thus the heat source has to be at the bottom o_o

Honestly, if you could find a more elegant and safe way to do it, literally just dunking the heat sink in water *could* potentially be a valid cooling option.
I feel like it might cause condensation on the electronics which isn't a good idea
What you ought to do is cover the heat sink in a plastic, waterproof frame and take a water pump which will continually drag cool water through the heat sinks. Basically it’ll be a safer version of water cooling.
Dunk the whole thing in mineral oil
Just coat the entire back of the board in epoxy, then you can daily this.

This would actually work really well if you had a proper rubber seal between the back of the case and the reservoir that snugged around the heat pipes with silicone. Then you could have a case that's computer on top, sealed container of water on the bottom, with heatskinks going through the seal down into the water, and a pump to move around the water. In practice I think this would actually be safer and more effective than a regular water cooling setup because it's fail-safe: the water is always below the computer and cannot fall upwards.
I feel like it would work even better if a massive heatspreader like this one were enclosed with a pump inside of it to act as a big AIO. Circulating the liquid slowly from a big heatsync to a cooling reservoir and so forth would probably work so much better than current AIOs. This video really makes you think.
But for the safety part, you're absolutely right. This would be a lot better by what you said. I'm thinking more in terms of marketability and portability
@@infatuated9970 There's a simpler solution of just immersing the computer in a non-electrically conductive liquid.
@@LutraLovegood It isn't the same though. Because of the viscosity of mineral oil, it is less effective than water at pulling heat away.
Makes me wonder. would it be cheaper to just buy bags of ice for this kind of setup than whatever it costs to run an AIO pump haha
The passive cooling heatsink would most likely work much better if it was mounted horizontal to the chassis, since the fins didn’t allow airflow to pass through the fins in this configuration.
I’m surprised you didn’t think of that
I mean... There is NO WAY it was supposed to work with flaps horizontally without any active cooling. That's just common engineering sense!

That's what she said
"It's splashing! It's splashing!"
I'm immediatly thought the same but when you was putting a so big pump exactly under the heatsink... I love PC and aquarium....
This is actually a superb way of designing mobos and CPU coolers imo, all the heat of the CPU is on a separate side, so the GPU and CPU is separated to allow for lower temps, less hot air mixing up in close proximity, plus the CPU cooler can then be designed to be spread out across the back of the mobo like the one in this video, add to that 1 or two jumbo 200mm fans, which are much quieter than smaller ones and move much more air, now you have the GPU in its own compartment being cooled and the hot air extracted, same for the PSU, and the CPU is separated at the back, pretty much the most refined ATX design we have seen so far, everything back in the day was huddled together in a tight poorly designed case, the PSU was right by the CPU which was right above the GPU, plus the north and south bridge and the memory, all that heat in close proximity can't be good for thermals, stability, machine life expectancy and so on.
Then they just have to work on some PC cases with this updated ATX form factor, one with a nice big separate area sealed off to isolate the CPU and it's cooler, this should end up with lower noise output as well.
Major hardware water-cooled an air-cooler, he built an acrylic case for it too. It was a pretty cool video aswell

CEO of the company, personally owns the building, wrote the script and decided what they are doing, AND this video was probably his idea in the first place. But he doesn't make the rules!
@@trapical nah I think they rent
@@trapical As the credits clearly say Alex actually wrote the script and as such presumaply was also the one whose idea it was.
@@trapical Linus doesn't do much ideas and almost no scripts other than of devices he personally tests. That's given considering he has specialised people for that kind of stuff
if you were worried about metal dust contamination and such, you could run it as a closed system, where the intake for the system was ported in from an ac unit or refrigerator/freezer that was pulling air in from outside. you might need to seal the electronic components, as constant exposure to that kind of cold air could cause moisture buildup, perhaps the cooling box could contain a small dehumidifier. this would obviously consume a lot of power, but would be a practical solution that wouldn't see a computer sitting so close to a vat of water.
I feel like LTT needs to revisit this with a well thought out version cause this was a version of winging it experimentation. One of my favorite videos tho

Excluding the Sarah build, omg that poor heatsink.
You'd probably want to find a way to have the fins on the heatsink oriented vertically for better convection
Here is an idea, get a top dropping ice machine, port a hole at the bottom where ice/water would collected then feed that same cooler block from inside and stick the cpu connecting part out, seal and connect and run to your hearts content, install a nactua water poof fan from inside the ice maker blowing inwards from left or right to vise versa to keep water flowing through the fins.
Now you would use your current case along with the same cooler and only need the super cheap ice machine, additionally you could drill two port holes on the lid and connect fans inside pointing out to blow outwards, which would provide a little bonus AC to your immediate area.

Rick: “Well that’s just water cooling with extra steps!”
Technically, less steps. No tubes, reservoirs, or fittings to worry about. Just slap the heatsink on, fill a bucket with ice water, drop in a submersible pump, and you're good to go! No bleeding the loop, no fans to cable manage, and probably a heck of a lot cheaper too!
Not saying this is smart.. There are just less steps, and it's definitely unique so there's that. 😂
Omg yes XD
not to mentioned that you dont need fans anymore ,whats not to like, its water
some heatsinks have copper tubing and you can just pump water throw them and it will be both air and water cooled
@@FukkenDubben agree i did the water cooling verion of this back in 2010 and 2013 full guide and experiment details are on toms hardware froms
9:57 The Best moment in LTT history!
every mobo should be like this. it would make keeping your components clean so much easier and it would probably work really well at dissipating heat
"With a Dremel, everything is compatible."

If Ifixit started selling Dremels they'd be making millions in no time
I never buy merch but that might actually get me to give in
If it isn't on their planned merch list... it damn well should be ! XD
"Where's your computer?"
"Inside the icebox over there."
I have a bucket here, also a waterpump for the pool outside. I just need that flipped motherboard.
Technically speaking, you could buy a marine type freezer kit, drill some holes in the provided heat sink, and put the coils from the freezer kit inside the cooler, then encase that in foam so you don't have to run it 24/7 and that would probably cool this to shits. It wouldn't be feasible with a regular pc, because that would condensate inside the sensitive areas, but with this, you could buy two sheets of copper sticker and put them on the case facing the cooler and on a separator board facing the case, killing off condensation.
TLDR this setup is the first setup that can be freezer cooled without running excessive lines away from the CPU.
"Submerged in water"
Crazy experiment. But yup thats a lot of fun to watch

"you're not getting on the table, Alex!"
*hard cut to alex on the table*
This video gave me an idea. 1) fill a bucket with water. 2) put a heat sink in it, but with the mounting hardware above the water line. 3) put it in the freezer. 4) test how a block of ice works as a cooler.
Amusingly, my neighbor discovered that this ends very badly.
When water freezes into ice, it expands, and it will happily bend/warp/break delicate metal bits that are submerged within it, especially at the surface.
(I might have thoroughly enjoyed watching him prove me right about just how bad of an idea it was to try to do XD)
It depends on what metals are placed in. Material like whats in the heat sink inside a freezer will be fine.
best power economy 2021
Also Ice Water > Ice when it comes to cooling shit.
Many people don't realise this but ice water is always at the freezing point of water and is far superior when it comes to cooling because it's a liquid not a solid and thus far superior at dissipating heat. Ice may be able to reach sub freezing temperatures but at the end of the day you'd be better off creating a saline ice water solution.
If you want to get serious about cooling I recommend buying a block of dry ice and dissolving it in acetone/isopropyl-alcohol. You can easily reach -75°C that way.
A solid block of ice can actually insulate pretty well too, depending on whatever other environmental factors are involved.
I think a magnetic stir bar in the bottom of the tub would have made the water flow better or a very gentle wave machine to get water and air contact with the fins
12:51

Reminds me of Major Hardware and his water-cooling of an air-cooler some two years ago. Though he enclosed the fins with its own reservoir. Remember it worked, sort of.

This video is so weird but entertaining. Thanks LTT!
I dont think I've felt more stress watching a video then when Linus mixes water with a computer 😰
Same
ive broken three laptops trying stuff like this
why am i so dumb
I did this as an electronics shop project in sophomore year of high school. I flex sealed a plexiglass box around a hyper 212 and put it into a water cooling loop. It worked really well until the box broke and water went all over the motherboard
Major Hardware did something similar though think he used aquarium glue.
you could potentially combine the water tank and heatsink (weld) but have the heatsink at the bottom of the water, that way you won't need a pump to move around the water as the warm water will naturally displace colder water and move to the surface (hot stuff is less dense),
next step would be to have the top side of the water container much wider like a reverse pyramid so that the surface area for the rising warm water is much larger and thus has more transmission to the air maybe even add a fan at the top.
Hands down one of my favourite ltt videos
You could totally make a silicon barrier between the water and the delicate bits that seals around the heat pipes and submerge your cooler in a circulating water feature. Like a lazy river through PC islands.
But if you are going to this length, at this point whats the points of even bothering with heatsink and water at all?
Just submerge whole pc into oil based non-conductive liquid designed specifically for this. This is what lot of miners do to save on power usage.
This is literally what the company did to publicize the motherboard lol, in gamer nexus video is shown
Also, might try placing the pump on its side (if possible) and directing the water output at the opposite wall, setting up a circulation pattern in the tank. Or a magnetic stirrer such as used in chem labs.
Just imagine a waterfall-like Build. Where the Water is running through the cooler. That would be dope!
Mom can we have water cooling?
No, we have water cooling at home.
Water cooling at home:
I've always thought it would be cool (no pun intended) to run a water cooling setup with the radiator inside a little under-desk fridge.
This board is filling my head with a combo pc case that has a fridge on the back side. Keeping your gaming rig and your cold snacks chilled at the same time.
This won't work -
A refrigerator is cold because it's got a machine in it that pumps heat from the cold space to the surroundings.
The refrigerator manufacturer sizes that machine to be capable of pumping about the amount of heat that leaks in through the insulated walls. This is maybe a double digit number of watts or so at most. Any more is wasteful, makes it more expensive, etc
What this means is that the hundreds of watts of heat produced by your computer will quickly overwhelm the ability of the fridge to pump that heat out of itself.
A window A/C unit would be closer to the amount of cooling power necessary to do this. But really, at the end of the day, because you're pretty much always moving heat from your PC into lower temperature surroundings, there's no need to introduce a whole refrigeration cycle into the mix. The easiest way to get more cooling power is just to run more air through larger radiators.

@@communistgooglepartybolshe5511 to be fair it's not the same design, but the same concept, still though would be cool if LTT with its bigger budget could make what MH made but more reliable and better designed for the water flow.
Today the thought occurred that maybe it is possible to make a passive cooled setup with a mineral oil / transformer oil mister setup in order to "water cool" the passive cooling. I think that would work too. With a non conductive liquid mist cooling you theoretically have a sealed case too.

And tested it again a year later and it still worked!
Yeah they should credit him
Who ?
And he did it a long time ago so this isn't even a question that needed answering.
This is the LTT content I've been missing. Just wish they would do benchmarks before and after
"you're not getting on the table Alex!" (next shot instantly him on the table), good one guys
i know it's an old video, however it should be noted that the direction you placed the fins in goes against passive cooling, as the cooler depends quite a bit on convection to move air between the fins whereas in your configuration you pretty much trapped the hot air between them with cool air wafting over the unit, being limited more to radiation as a way to lose heat. I suspect had you turned it 90 degrees it may have demonstrated better performance. would be interesting to see the designer's intended setup.
Brendon - "this is so stupid."
Linus - " yeah well, I don't make the rules."
Me - " Umm. Aren't you the founder and CEO of the company?"
Obviously not. He is a product of the company.
Exactly, he's the CEO. He's not in charge of things like that. He has other people for things like that. My guess is that Yvonne and Nick are the ones who actually make the rules in LMG.
@@LaDeXi yeah but still. Linus Media Group is his company and he is the face of it. He himself has a say on most of the videos that they do, I'm sure. After all its his reputation on the line so he must be controlling content and the actions of staff in episodes to some degree.
@@spawngaming3261 Yes, to some degree, so your right on a technicality by 15% and the joke is right on a technicality by 85%. the COO actually comes up with the rules and the CEO signs off on them. I guess always being right to some degree is the funniest joke of all time /SARCASM.
7:17 Literally panicked for Linus almost ripping off that memory slot in the way he holds the entire thing
Really surprised to see that actually
I'm 99% sure RAM slots can support the weight of a motherboard as long as you aren't shaking it... The board is not exactly heavy.
@@danieljensen2626 the weight of a mb yes but there was a massive heatsink behind the board, that's why i'm so concerned because that is really heavy - really just look at how bent that slot is, and the angle of both memory sticks. it's not even a metal reinforced slot like we've been seeing on some high-end boards these days
i have been waiting for this 20 years, someone finally had the brain to see the logic of having cpu cooling far away from everything else...
Very cool tech tip. I'll be sure to try it out
Next project: Watercooling a watercooler watercooled pc
dis some mrbeast lvl stuff right here
@literally ur dope can you stop spamming junk
Major Hardware sends his regards :D
Edit: When you said you wanna come up with something more "usable", PLS do a colab with Major Hardware! He did something like this a while ago and he deserves it :)
+1 for Major Hardware
Was going to comment the same. :-P
Linus: You're not getting on the table.
Alex in the next shot: Is on the table.
for anyone who don't know how to use a bag of ice:
step 1: slam the bag of ice on the ground (preferably at chest lvl and on a concrete floor, this will loosen up the ice into smaller chunks)
step 2: open the bag and pour out your ice..
step 3 (optional): pour ice into the cooler box and add a bag of salt (about 1/4LBS of salt will do per bag of ice, this will turn some of the ice into super cold water and this is super useful for cooling cans and bottled beverages/water super fast)
"Its not stupid if it works" best line ever lol
Define "works"...

Its about to not to if you keep tilting that computer over a pool of water
