    I've said it before, I'll say it again: Linus and Alex doing jank water cooling is ALWAYS a great video. And this one actually performed pretty ok for parts that are almost all terrible on their own and not meant to be used together in the slightest. Alex is a master of just making it work. And I always get a kick out of how disappointed Linus is that the grand idea ended up being nothing but duct tape and cable ties. Adding some Jake to the mix just made it even funnier how bad it all came out, while still kind of doing the job.

    This was amazing. Back in the late 90's early 2000's we used to watercool like this. I helped a friend build a geothermic radiator, that ran a copper pipe 15' under his back lawn; 30' into his yard and back again to his house, through fitting in the side of his house (all copper piping mind you) back to the office, where he had quick connect fittings custom built to run copper piping up to his computer, which was on a rudimentary test bench, and to hand made copper sinks. This took me way back to those days. I'm surprised no one mentions the galvanic corrosion issues caused by an aluminum sink and copper blocks... still that was entertaining!

I remember when we built it we were joking about how much overkill it was for a 45W cpu being overclocked, and that it might be able to cool a cpu running 200W through it. Didn't realize that he could easily run a 1000W system on it. still can't warm the water, and he's got a 3090 and threadripper on it.

    EM Technik is actually a manufacturer of high-quality plastic fittings. They're grey/beige not because they are cheap, but rather because they are not designed to look cool, only to perform well, with good chemical resistance. Two-piece ferrules (Linus holds one piece of it at some point, wondering how it can be part of a fitting) are common in high-quality compression fittings, metal or plastic (eg Swagelok). They are not "gamer-bling" fittings, but they are good ones.

    Those fittings in the possible mis-directed package are for plastic semi-flexible hard line that is normally use in semi-trucks for there air lines. They are good connectors, but only for high pressure system due to press to fit. The pressure tries to push the line back out, creating a seal by the design that requires the line to by push into the connector and the plastic ring must be held into the connector at the same to remove the connector.
