Note about soldering heatpipes: You can solder them, you just need to use a different type of solder. Personally, I use this stuff called ChipQuik, it's a different alloy that melts well below the explosion temperature of heatpipes. I recommend either a VERY powerful soldering iron or a pencil torch, heatpipes are hard to warm up by design. That thermal epoxy is probably one of the biggest performance losses. Also, heatpipe bending is easy, just a couple rules: 3x pipe diameter is minimum bend radius, this is to protect the inner capillary lining that allows the heatpipe to function. I recommend using bending springs and a template, that worked very well for me. And an important note about heatpipe selection: Not all heatpipes are created equal. There are different capillary linings that are more or less effective and which operate in different positions. Sintered heatpipes are best f you're going to be in a variety of orientations, ridged heatpipes are horizontal only, but can carry way more energy because the fluid can flow faster.

Woah woah throw away those grinding discs you used to grind on the aluminum right away. You never use regular grinding discs on soft metal such as aluminum. The metal can get embedded into the disc throwing it off balance and spinning at 10k-15k rpm will cause it to shatter throwing shrapnel everywhere. Also becareful placing the grinder down on the disc. The same issue can happen if you smack the grinding disc into a hard surface. Had one guy at work split his guts open because the grinding disc exploded.

[@arnavarya3262]

Don't forget that balanced operating range is way different than unbalanced one, vibrations are a bitch and destroy everything you can imagine

I saw the consequences of an exploding disc too when i was at a hospital. When I asked to the people who brought them they said he was working on some construction thing and the disc exploded on him, the poor guy had his abdomen open side to side and his intestines were practically hanging out of him. Angle grinders are a really powerful tool that needs a lot of respect when being used.

[@frosty1433]

Instead of drilling holes to size, you need to drill them slightly too small, then heat up the block to expand the holes, so that they shrink and weld the pieces together.

[@D4ng3rB0yc3]

@NPC #19548796 'Tolerances would be sloppy using only a drill press. Need a mill'... Riiiiight, no. Drill presses are used to drill holes to a few microns tolerances. Mills are for for milling and drills are for for drilling. Just because a mill has a drive designed for axial pressure doesn't mean it is magically more accurate than a drill. Good drills have fantastic linear stability and will blow most mills out of the park when making straight holes, especially on run out. Each tool has a purpose, and they excel at that.

[@D4ng3rB0yc3]

Thermal shrinkage isn't a weld, it's a compressive type of contact. The materials dont fuse like in welding but rather clamp down. It's a compression join, rather than a weld which is meaning making the two parts into one solid. A thermal joint like this can still be undone with a controlled cooling and heating unlike a weld which will require cutting, since both materials are not just bonded but fused or mixed. Friction welding is a different but totally cool topic you can look up.

Nah, it's got a scrap value of at least half a cent, maybe even several cents if you time your trip to the scrapyard right. Still a dick move to sell it at any price with "bender" on the label.

[@ChadMojito]

I almost did not watch this but boy am I glad I did.

[@hippy_surfer]

Yea stupid but informative, More like this please.

[@alexphotoman]

As much as I love Linus this is cringy as fuck!

[@ChadMojito]

alexphotoman what the hell? this video was awesome

[@alexphotoman]

Chad Mojito 🇫🇷🍔🐀 good for you!

[@Stephen8454]

As a budding machinist this is painful lol!

[@MegaShrut]

Well, as someone who can’t file a straight line properly this was amazing. Blew me away but can you tell me how can I get better ?

[@origamihawk]

look up clickspring if you want filing tips

[@post-leftluddite]

OMG right, I've been a metal worker/machinist for years and watching anything on this channel involving tools is painful to watch

[@tannerdsimon]

Shrut Sanghvi Go to a local technology center and ask about the Advanced Manufacturing class, or the machining class, they go about other names as well, but I'm sure that they will be more than willing to teach you the basics of machining. I learned as a student in one, but we had an adult who came and learned from my instructor. So long as you do a better job at being a good student than the actual students in the class, you'll be fine

[@Wolfsword10]

As a learning mechanic (and eventually aviation technician) how the hell do you screw up making a copper tube 90 degrees?! Hint it's not the tools fault ;P

[@mattm3023]

Pretty interesting to see the progression of Alex. Nowadays he creates professional mechanical engineer level drawings in Solidworks, does amazing CNC work, and designs everything with a great level of forethought (even if on-the-fly). Nice to see that advancement

[@Steamrick]

This needs an update, what with their new CNC and better experience at working with heat pipes...

[@DesolatorMagic]

Just cut a potato in half and set it on it. It probably has some thermal capacity.

[@martijnschuman]

DesolatorMagic and you could eat it after the PC shut down

[@odweaver]

Make a V shaped cradle for the potato out of heat pipes, wrap the potato in foil, and when you hit thermal throttling, hot swap the potato for a new one wrapped in foil.

[@sherpajones]

Or set up a mini spit roast and cook some rats...

[@codogaz]

Fellow kerbalnauts, assemble!

[@frosty9392]

*Step 1:* see someone complain about not having something they need/want for their job *Step 2:* see them get a "wtf mate?!" look from their boss as they say they always approve their order requests *Step 3:* dream about working for a boss like that When I say "hey we need to replace this hard drive, we only have 1 safe failure left" i get told we don't need to get another one then and that I need to 'make sure the other one doesn't fail' -.-

[@Goliath1337]

Frosty. Your boss sounds special

[@IvanMuccini]

True story, tell me about it...

[@Carewolf]

Boses always say that... On camera.. Off camera it is another story, which is why the stuff is never there :D

[@mikhailnadjkovic3916]

Please more, more, more! More sketchy series! Make all the things! This was so entertaining. Plus you need to get your money's worth out of those machines. #moresketchystuffplease

[@Corristo89]

I think we should all admire at how far Alex has come over the years. He went from this... thing to designing water cooling blocks at industrial level quality.

[@joremjay]

I miss scrapyard wars. It would be interesting to include Gamers Nexus.

[@AniketBhatP]

It's coming soon.. This weekend on floatplane I think?

[@tobias8567]

Aniket Bhat oh boy if thats true you just made my week

[@DarkSwordsman]

cough cough its on floatplane cough cough

[@soapa4279]

this video oddly makes me appreciate those cheap but good $25 heat sinks

[@Djuntas]

Yep, mine is like that price...and gr8. A bit loud but stays cool. Enough for my modest CPU.

[@soapa4279]

Yup it's crazy how careful these things need to be crafted. Granted I'm sure these major heatsink manufacturers have giant machines mass producing them. But still, makes me appreciate it more. :)

[@Dunkelelf3]

yeah but it also shows how cheap those pieces of junk are you get with intel cpus.. i mean they cost like nothing and that is how they perform and why you get them for free.. if even that kludge linus and his crew tinker together performs better in the end lol.. ofc it is still junk if you consider it was the price of really good air coolers and aios..

[@soapa4279]

Haha also true! Intel's stock heatsinks are a waste of earthly resources and time.

[@Dunkelelf3]

in deed.. and funny how you get the same shit cooler for a most high end cpu as for the very low end pentium.. i mean for a friggin 2000 dollar cpu they could at least give you something useable as an aio or something as amd does.. or just screw those bundles all together and just sell chips and make them a little cheaper so we all can go out and buy our own stuff and have actually good coolers.. i mean i have like 3 or 4 stock intel heatsinks flying around, never used any of them..

[@sparkscheme5484]

4:42 Even the police got pissed off for hammering the bolts in...

[@titanblade828]

sorry for being the nazi her but they were bolts not screws. screws don't need nuts to go on the end to clamp it all together

[@Zyscheriah]

Wait that was a screw? Why were they hammering it

[@sparkscheme5484]

Titan Blade Nazi resolved.

[@kcocgibkcusuoy]

AnonyGuy that's... You've watched LinusTechTips before, right?

[@CaveyMoth]

Sketchy PC modder police

[@Bajicoy]

Wow, I find it amazing you guys approved this project without a CNC mill and pretty crazy you spent $80 on heat pipes, cool to see the heatsink working

[@cfrek]

You need to contract AvE to do this !

[@Nefoedd]

AvE and This Old Tony, these guys at your back you might have a product. Also Alex French Guy Cooking to knock up some Brain food.

[@TheSPAZZANATER]

that would be fun

[@blank.e5plus]

yea uncle bumblefuck needs to be on the case

[@DerrangedGadgeteer]

Then they'd have to call it 'skookum heatsinks' as opposed to "sketchy heatsinks"

[@kvurban1]

I was just going to say they need AvE!!

[@SLKibara]

So early, it's still 360p

[@アカシア-w7b]

same

[@ollie976]

2 Minutes later and it is still 360P

[@typicalgamer9064]

In The Mind of Kibara same

[@pcis8000]

Same :/

[@username-du2er]

In The Mind of Kibara Still 360p, fuckin nasty

[@samlcyo2]

I'd like to see AvE make something to challenge this attempt at a CPU cooler.

[@crystalsoulslayer]

I'm just envisioning him taking one of the offcuts from the BBQ griddle, welding a bit of car radiator to it, cleaning up a little, and then calling it a day.

[@Hebdomad7]

Samuel Lavigne-Cloutier He'd make one, but I'd be totally over kill. I'm picturing it now. A kilogram block of solid copper with 1 inch barb's cooled by a heat pump from an old soviet truck and antifreeze as coolent.

[@kama2106]

Scrapyard wars - you project your own cooler, but this time it has to be air cooler

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

fuck we need to get linus to ask AVE to give this a try. because that would be fucking amazing.

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

Samuel Lavigne-Cloutier him and this old tony

[@psychohawk1]

Now that you've gotten all of the correct equipment, are you going to do another?

[@josegabrielgruber]

I'm really looking forward on this

[@clintoncook6082]

15:21 Linus: So, we don't know if these are good heat pipes or not. Alex: I would say that they are. They cost like $80. (Linus Reacts) Linus: And you were just like ruining them!?

[@SeaCowsBeatLobsters]

“Blank check” “Over budget” Something’s not right

[@mahmoud2622]

1 week later, Cooler master files a lawsuit against LTT for ripping of their heat sink

[@dudeguy8553]

Nope, they'd file it for making coolermaster engineers cringe so hard.

[@mahmoud2622]

Dude Guy I could imagine that 😂

[@morbid1.]

I love how raw this is :D

[@Whowhatzz]

"Heat pipes will explode when you... Heat them".

[@georganatoly6646]

As a machinist in my past life, this was painful to watch lol.

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

You guys should really buy a small CNC mill. You could make all kinds of things. The right way! haha I can only imagine how many machinists are screaming at the screen right now. But I guess that's good Tube.

[@2001willie]

Even an old vertical mill with a digital readout is better than what they having right now.

[@123samueldu]

BurninatorTheTrogdor **SCREAM IN TEARS**

[@Jvidio]

I died on the inside watching this

[@eyespliced]

Naw, then you have to learn how to talk machine. It's a pain in the ass. Any old milling machine (with what will said, a DRO)would have provided a much, much better alternative to what they were doing.

[@xxTacolord]

why is this not called Alex Tech Tips?

[@theherobrine6217]

Tacolord because Linus is the one that started the channel 4+ years ago, where Alex had only been here for a year or 2

[@BobSmith-mj3uu]

you must be fun at parties

[@ZekeMe0ut]

Also because the credit always belongs to the person who had the idea and not the one who executes it.

[@jarn9870]

Why is this not called Heatstinks?

[@Pseudynom]

Alex Porn Tips

[@WarPigstheHun]

As "stupid" as this video may seem, I'm using this as a reference to create my own custom heatsink. Really great job, Alex!

Dont use glowes with rotating tools...

[@IDoNotLikeHandlesOnYT]

For anybody confused: OP means "gloves". Gloves can get caught by rotating tools and pull your hand into them, resulting in severe injury. With no glove, you're more likely to escape with only a skin wound.

[@MrAfusensi]

Who needs hands anyway

[@xyz72936]

@@David-jn1gg typo, please go away

[@Ioganstone]

@@IDoNotLikeHandlesOnYT Sticking your hand in a drill is the end of your hand. Also sticking the 5% extra diameter of your hand from gloves is probably perfectly balanced out because then your hand can survive a nick from the drill. Most importantly, don't drill for 10 hours straight hopped up on adderall ✔

[@LightSoundGate]

This was like a really bad episode of MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED.

[@crowonthepowerlines]

This series definitely needs a revisit once the LTT Lab is up and running

[@FelipeFigueroaG]

Alex, just buy a milling machine. The hacksaw and the angle grinder are far from the ideal tools for that job. I'm sure Linus will pay for it.

[@darkobserver6244]

Any old milling machine from the 80s and some of the 90s that is sized for small projects would be cheaper than their red cameras. The biggest issue would be the 3 phase electric bill and carbide or hardened tool steel bits for them. Also the amount of knowledge needed to operate one without destroying their bits every 30 seconds because they have rpms cranked to high or low. hgrinc.com/productDetail/Machine-Tools/Used-Bridgeport-CNC-Vertical-Mill/06181090010/

[@lvl1cpu523]

Or just a bandsaw, this is pretty basic stuff.

[@ov3rkill]

Aaaaand that's for the next episode. The finale would be getting all the proper tools for the job... BUT IS HE GONNA?

[@crystalsoulslayer]

They don't necessarily need three-phase and old iron, they could get a Sherline or a similar hobbyist machine. Though yeah, they'd probably want an actual machinist to come by and explain to them how to use it without getting shrapnel in the aorta.

[@TheHammerGuy94]

Linus: you had a blank check to work on this! you had no excuse!!! also: I would approve anything you would need for this, as long as you order it!!! alex tho: if only we had (tool/this material/ whatever they needed atm) linus: *lolwhut? maybe he got used to complaining and not getting the stuff he needed back in engineering school...
