this PSU is too fishy.
especially with the agreement they had to sign
@Noble Liquify even FSP . why are they afraid of letting linus taking apart ?
@Paradoxical Nightmare You mean exactly what they can do as soon as it hits mass market.....? I don't see the issue.
@@dumbcow1 or maybe they're patent pending
That's pretty standard if it has not gone to market yet.
A company with a PSU that made you sign a nondisclosure agreement to not expose the insides? Automatically a red flag. How do I know that they didn't put the water block in an essentially useless and/or hazardous location?
After the Video you will know. :D
I do hope that they'll open it soon as they can get their hands on on, maybe even a modding video for shits and giggles!
My question is also why need the NDA. I mean it isn't like LTT et al won't be taking it apart as soon as it goes to retail. Like you, as soon as Linus said "NDA" then I called snake-oil. Cooling the underside of the PCB (assuming that is what it is doing, and that is all we can do, assume) is going to do little to cool the transistors doing all the switching. The water needs to be going through a block attached to them in order to cool them with any efficiency.
+Michael Killies after the video I still don't know.
The fact that they didn't know the price either, kinda suggests the thing isn't even released yet.. therefore NDA. Makes sense doesn't it?
Everybody gangsta till the power supply sounds like a creeper

Yo where tf do I buy a waterblock for my radiator?
@@garrettk7166 not something out of this world tbh and would make sense provided that water cooling is between you and the chair.
since you gents have a NDA you should send it to AVE and let him tear into it.
He'll tell ya what makes her cooch
Chooch not cooch fuckin gross man
Ave wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole.
Too much angry pixies
Yess. Or ElectroBOOM?
@@busteraycan Oh, dAVE'd totally have at it with a chainsaw.
Manufacturer: -"Please review this. But you're not allowed to tell how it works."
That smell like BS to me.
It is BS. Can you imagine cooling a high end graphics card with no heatspreader on the actual gpu while only cooling backplate? Whoever did this is either fishing for fools or this is some joke sketch. Lol.
Did the nda prevent X-ray analysis I wonder?
SysGhost I thought the same.
if they did design something new and maybe it's still in patent pending then they probably don't want THE ENTIRE FUCKING INTERNET to know how it works. i'm not really sold on the concept but I can see why they don't want people tearing it down.
Well me too, if you take a step back and look at it, if they want to cool the power transistors or regulators or whatever they use, then bolt them to the heatsink directly instead of trying to cool down the PCB...
This construction (if as what the pictures looked like) would be like putting your milk strapped on the outside of your refrigerator and belive it will cool down.
Who needs RGB ram when there is wet powersupplies.
better yet rgb watercooled ram

0:11 "It can blow up and take the rest of your computer hardware with it" Yeah I think it could also take your house with it too.
The MSRP has been announced to be USD $699 FYI.
So it is only for spoiled adolescents that still in live their parents basement and don't do anything other outside gaming and trolling?
@Advocatus Diaboli leave him be, we've all been bullied by spoiled adolescents and we just need to let it out any way we can
Robert van den Eijk this is such a bad comment, I’m going to tell you so a year later
For crypto mining it might be good.
@@Mobasity You didn't tell him so a year later
FSP slapping an NDA on this unit really has me suspicious on what exactly they did inside. Seems kinda shady to me, but I guess that's how companies roll.
you just need a non sell out to review it
@@brianberthold3118 I know this is old but how does them coming to the conclusion that you shouldn't buy it, and being under NDA make them shills
@@Halfcocked1222 they wouldn't get a review unit then
@Revolvin Goatt I'm probably really late to this comment, but it was very likely that the NDA was in place to prevent other major manufacturers from doing the same thing so FSP can get an edge (head start) on the liquid cooling PSU market.
Power cooled water supply
Peltier cooled water pump?

I laughed way too hard at this.
Rgb improve the temperature of the PSU by 100fps every Gb of pixels read.
*EVERYONE WOULDN'T ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT TUNNELBEAR*
When someone makes you sign an NDA for a product that DOESN'T SEEM THAT SAFE, it tends to keep customers away.
NDAs are something of a standard nowadays, I would be more surprised if they didn't, restrict opening. Especially for a product that hasn't even been priced yet.
NEXT: WATER COOLED SOUND CARD, CASE AND WATERCOOLED RGB
GorillaTech Can't water be a insulator? The ultimate EM shield.
whole computers, PSU and all, can and have been submerged in mineral oil for liquid cooling. the oil doesn't conduct electricity
How could you forget a mouse pad?!?!?!
its the new craze after RGB
Don't forget to water cool the water
“I watch the old videos for the tunnel bear ads”
3:24 he said "jigahertz" lol

Water Cooled Water Cooler
that's already a thing. cold water jets to spray a water cooler's radiator
Agent Smith wtf realy
Linus has already water coked his water cooler radiator
Gibbyace i
i have a water cooled usb cable .. lol
The real question is, does it have RGB?
Only when the water leaks. ;)
Omg I had a water-cooled PSU from koolance. It was the PSU-1200ATX-12S. The internals was completely submerged in a "non-conductive fluid" and had a single radiator that was on a swinging hinge on the back. Loved that thing!
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure decibel is written as dB not DB
benji butler does it really matter? Was that the most confusing part of the whole video for you?
Yes, standards should be respected.
Well since we are being Jackasses, realize that the first D in dBA is lowercase with the font LTT chose. Both of you just fail to notice that the font they are using just makes lowercase letters smaller in comparison. Maybe open your eyes before you criticise.
Dont be upset that the product is a gimmick, be upset that you thought you saw an uppercase D
DB means DB Breweries in New Zealand! :-)
As someone with a fanless 520W power supply, I find this really alien.
Which brand and does it make any noises? I heard that there are many fanless psus having coil whine
I've got a silent 650 Watts Enermax Supply
i.imgur.com/ICAnhK2.png
Speaking of silent PSU.
I got a Seasonic Plat Fanless 520W which was a really good choice. Do you use the same model?
wow you have only 20% load on your super expensive overkill psu, congrats
Let's watercool the most dangerous thing inside a pc, seems like fun.
Yep The one component in your computer can literally kill if you get zapped let's 20 times more dangerous
To be fair, any high wattage component, especially in a powerful computer can kill you or at the very least, seriously injure you and even burn down the house if it's touched or has a serious malfunction.
Plus, if you have a bottom mounted PSU and the fan faces upwards while running a water-cooling loop, any leak above the PSU grill can pose the same danger. Just sayin'.
I mean, if water comes into contact with any part of your PC, it can cause voltages to jump rails and destroy virtually everything. It's a trade off compared to air cooling; put your PC at a (hopefully insignificant) risk of catastrophic failure and, in turn, get better and quieter performance. That said, the point of water cooling should be to get rid of almost all fans in a system, and the product featured in this video fails miserably at that.
Anything out of a PSU is a relatively safe 12v DC at the most, you would have a very hard time injuring yourself on anything inside a PC electrically even with a 1200w system. More likely to suffer small burns from hot components if you touch anything but it won't fail or catch on fire just from you touching it unless you have some really wet fingers.
The only time you can injure yourself is from the mains voltage side of the power supply which is the reason your never supposed to take one apart or have a water block inside of it.
Some. I'm sure they used fluid resistant to that
there is honestly just two eras of ltt, tunnel bear and post tunnel bear
3:22 "overclocked to 4.2 jiggahertz" xD
I guess Linus grew up with the 'Back to the Future' movies :)
No LEDs? Dont need it
Its RGB!
Sir, I would like to kindly inform you that you are using the wrong terminology. Please refer to lighting in a PC as RGB. Not LED. Thanks for your understanding.
and thats where you go wrong as most rbg ligthing systems are power by LEDs, so he is technically correct.
...want it!
More FUCKING RGB UP THAT BITCH
Linus is the type of guy to tell his mother about TunnelBear
The water block on the mouse killed me lol
Back to "cool" content on LTT !! Good job on the new video - keep 'em coming! :D
I actually had a fully watercooled PSU around 2001. It had zero fans and the waterblock was actually cooling the VRM's and such instead of just the PCB.
I believe it was a 450 Watt PSU and it came from aquacomputer back in the day :)
Got my Linus Tech Tips shirt today it’s more chill than that PSU
I've heard this PSU have Asus Node headers(compatible with z390 strix-es). Care to elaborate what is that and how its going to affect the operation?
2:25 Jigagertz im dying😂😂😂
Are there any liquid cooled sound cards, Ethernet cards, RAID controllers? Also does anyone make a waterblock for an m.2 SSD?
Razor2048 I want my iPhone 8 Plus to be watercooled. Apple?
They do make NVME blocks!
Razor2048 for SSDs yes, the other stuff is nonsense
Razor2048 modmymods.com/ram-hdd-ssd-blocks/m-2-ssd-blocks.html
Note 9 is liquid cooled
3:24 jiggahertz
Lol I know
So I'm not the only one!!!! :D
ITS YABOY...
linus always says it. HES WRONG
It's a BTTF reference, but a bad running gag.
its for miners. that need a sustained power 24/7 where everything in a mining rig should be water cooled. this in fact you would need 3 of them for the 12 gpu 1080ti setups.
3:24 JIGGERHERTZ xD
Nuclear reactors are water-cooled, therefore, yes, why not! At least you're not gonna have Chernobyl in your house if it's of any consolation.
Chernobyl was a poor design, so here's hoping American scientists were right about it being the main issue of many!
BOS2161 to be fair the cooling is also the way they produce electricity soooooooooo????
Nuclear reactors are not watercooled LOL! they used some supercharged plutonium or whatever it is and have it so it reacts in such away it produces so much heat that it can boil enough water to drive huge turbines.
actually, using the nuclear fuel to boil wter and spin turbines is a stone age method to utilize this kind of power. But its like 500% cheaper than any other type of reactor to build, so we are stuck with it.
no, a nuclear power station is basically a kettle and the rods are the heating element and the steam it produces pushes the turbines which make electricity
Yey, let's watercool everything. Next week you're gonna be able to watercool your smartphone, because fuck it!
linus already watercooled a smartphone lol
Razer Phone 2 with Chroma enabled CPU Water Block!
i think they tried that
i want a vaporchamber on my phones SoC geez, and all ambient rgb lighting :D
Some smartphones already have heatpipes inside for cooling. It's technically "water-cooled", even though most people would assume water cooling implies a pump pushing water along rather than relying on passive transfer.
Flip the PSU upside-down (preferably on a stand to not block airflow from the fan), then test the water cooling again. If the power supply is cooler, then the water block is likely underneath the PCB.
The question i have would be of orientation? Since hear travels up. Would it be better to put the powersupply with the fan facing down ?
*Water Cooled Ram Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Then liquid cooled water!
You can already get ram blocks for water cooling
plopnow they have already done that
plopnow That's been around for awhile.
water cooled ram has been a thing for like 10+ years already lol
lol "Jigahertz"
What is that equipment you use to measure the energy (power) consumption?
Can you run it positioned with the water block on the top of the unit?
so you are meant to review a product without knowing whats inside? these staggered NDAs are absurd. no one wants to tune back in 3 times over to get the full details on every single tech product to hit the market!
Would have preferred them to wait till it's out, buy it themselves, and give it a REAL review free from any bullshit NDA agreements. Do you want an honest, actual critical review or just an NDA/making deals behind the scenes for early/free access to the product shitfest?
Stick one of those tiny cameras down in there. They didn't say anything about how you can look inside of the unit.
trollpatrol117 we don't know if they did or not. He just gave an overview of the nda. It was probably 4 pages long of everything they can't do.
Yeah, I get that. I can also get how ridiculous it would be if that restriction was even listed. It's like stop signs. Legally you gotta stop completely for them, but how many people just slowly roll through them without that full stop?
X-ray??
cj555 do you really expect a tech company to have, let alone need an xray machine. They cost a huge amount, more than the cameras he uses, and the only reason to have one is to look inside of things.
actually, x-rays are used to diagnose faulty solder joints for boards. but they don't actually do board work like that.
A video id love to see is them actively trying to blow up power supplies through different methods. I’m curious how it looks.
Please tell me the sound meter wasn't leaning on the PSU? It would basically measure mechanical vibration.
Just saying, don't mean to hurt your feelings you guys are doing a great job ;)
I want a RGB water cooler for my mouse
What a pointless product.
When did power supplies get either too noisy or too hot to need liquid cooling?
epistte
The whole point of consumerism is manufacturing needs that people don't actually have.
@@dank3720 "Shut the fuck up please"?
Can you get ahold of a Koolance PSU? They're fully waterblocked (no air), but I'm not sure if they're still being produced or not.
I kinda of want to see someone attempt structurally integrated liquid cooling of components. It would take precise manufacturing, but it would be interesting to see if it could work, especially if the system circulated through capillary motion.

triggered AF
Jiggered AF
Now let's watercool your TH-cam Revenue.
Yeah just having the fans blow them isn't working anymore..........Hi, I enjoy wordplay.
Love how it requires a open loop, the ones that leak more.
Please do a full watercooled pc with every part watercooled as you say at the end of the video
Complete rip off. The fact they made you sign an NDA and not allow you to tear it apart means they are not confident in their product. FSP is a shut company anyway.
Next video is a fully water cooled system? Right? :D
GioPlayTV look up "mineral oil PC"
Been there done that with a Koolance PSU around 10 years ago so the concept isn't really new to me. But it was fully submerged not just waterblocks randomly slapped on.
“And we won’t be able to do it without tunnelbear”
LOL
There is no RGB, so I'm not interested.
seahawk124 gotta jump on the watercooling bandwagon. RGB is soooo 2017. watercooling is gonna be whats hot in 2018
RGB? Power supplies demand nothing less then full plasma effects.
Watercooling is cool, not hot. Duh!
Up the game on RGB with OLED strips. That's going to be the next big thing.
93Legit Water cooled RGB is 2019!
Don't worry it works out if it lights on fire for some reason it gets put out instantly, duh
Actually, adding water to electric fires is a BAD idea...
Darksunrise Actually, it was a joke.
Yeah, it's good to pour water on your PC while it's running, so why not do it to a (however many watt) PSU?
You might actually get away with this if your breaker does its job.
It will also put out every electrical appliances in your house :)
You messed up while using the thermal camera. At 4:15 you can see the arrows are over the yellow spot (the hottest) with the fsp giving you 77.3c. However on the corsair the arrows are over the case which is lit up much darker which is coursing it to register at 32.6c.
Koolance did this 2008... Just Google Koolance liquid-cooled PSU.
but they didnt pay Linus to make promo :D
today i had a dream about tunnelbear
yeah i know i have issues
Run this product for a year without maintenance and see what happens.
and that's why air coolers rule
For a second I thought that TunnelBear was back and then I realized that the video was released in 2017. ;w;
Lol a ad came with Linus in it somehow and I thought the video started
Expected overclocking it to 1400 watt with rgb and liquid nitrogen and a benchmark and if its getting any bottlenecking
Can it run crysis?
In SLI
With tunnelbear inside
Even more rgb with dark matter
Did I forgot anything?
Bastiaan Wijtenburg yes... Can it play crisis
make it "it couldn't play crisis. However it does play minesweeper!"
Bastiaan Wijtenburg extra rgb
there is only one way to find if it has any bottleneck , over load it and let it explode!
10 years later the meme is still alive.
Yes.. Liquid cooled psu. Next is what, RGB MOSFETs
I need this for my home car audio setup lol.
Hybrid Cooling on everything, Make it happen Linus! (genuinely interested)
Tunnelbear sounds like a game a nephew plays with his uncle that he's not allowed to tell his parents about.
kek
My favorite.
The bear tunnels into your insides and tickle you from behind
Now you see Mr Marston that is a definite kek right there!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Do an all water cooled part build!
3:22 Jigga Hertz LMAO
the question is why not just get a non conductive thermal past take of the cover of the psu and slap on a water block? i know it is not practical by any means but what is stopping it from working?
But will it run crysis
I just thought of this last night hoping for a LST video of it to come out, what a coincidence. Huh funny.
What's LST? Linus Sex Tips?
Yes thats what LST is. It's the name of his company :)
Man I love the way you guys review stuff
Lol i was going to build a water cooled psu for my next itx build so it can get smaller. See this video and think... hm maybe I don't have to build one. But this one is huge!
It's like I'll eat more power than a fan from what I'm cooling lessening the voltage of the power supply gives to your other components. This is why no one normal does this
I feel like the water cooler there is just for show, since the aircooled one just runs colder.
I just got a mister for my garden hose and aimed the nozzle into my PSU's air intake. Works like a charm.
Ill bet its a air/water exchanger. I'm working on a dynomometer with exactly that type of innefficient design. It does extract some head, but the blower gan is doing most of the work.
Great rewards come with big risks?!
YellowHammer well with there is failing 2
Dreadnought_RGB the_Furry that counts as risk too i guess haha🤣
great power supply comes with great bills
*big dicks
Well, there's fuck-all 'risk' here, so not much of a reward, I'd guess.
If you're familiar with cooling a CPU/GPU whatever using water, then a water-cooled PSU isn't going to freak you out, is it?
#WaterCoolAllTheThings
agreed
True but say it like COOLS all the things
Water cooled rgb leds!
well your not wrong
#*custom*watercoolallthethings
I always wondered if you can just stick a radiator in front of a power supply to keep it from pumping heat straight up into your board
Try disconnecting the onboard fan and water cooling it, then check temps. Would it still work?
Worst water cooling idea ever
Sabre yea it can blow up or damage you or destroy your pc
if i was into watercooling and this thing would rock the fan just as a backup i would actually buy this.
...Mehh... too.... iflashy
gimmicky if you will.
9.5/10 wont get better fraps or render times
Liquid cooling + RGB
" mind blowing"
Does it come with insurance just in case the house burns down? Asking for a friend.
In the days of mainframe systems that used water cooled processors, I remember that we had a 25-thousand gallon water tank installed on the roof of the office building to use if the City’s water supply failed. Those systems were retired in the 80s, but that’s what I think of when I see modern water cooling systems. And don’t get me started on failed chillers in server farms . . . 😎
Is bulkier than usual PSUs, is noisier and has delayed thermal characteristics due to the fluids in the rad.
Looks like a failed prototype.
Thanks Linus for the laughs ;)
Could you get enough curved monitors to make a full circle of monitors around you?
That would be so cool
...and then watercool all of them using the same loop.
GoTeamScotch and add rgb lighting to them all...
I mean, you could...
Nothing is done until it's got rgb
4:54 that crackling noise was probably something sparking in it. Damn
I'm going to go water cool my desk and chair now, thanks :P
