I think Linus has a much more serious electrical problem in that rack than he knows. Blown fuse on the Fiber Optic Thunderbolt repeater, network switch exploded when he nudged the wire, now this as well. I’d be checking the wiring going all the way back to the panel, sometimes they accidentally mix up the wires and put either the hot or neutral onto the ground. From what I remember the switch blew up right as his hand touched the side of the rack so I’m leaning towards something to do with the grounding.

[@aaronvockley5448]

This certainly seems like it would be worth investigating. Too many power components have failed recently, and it feels like it's starting to become a pattern rather than a coincidence.

Every LTT video on watercooling remembers me why I decided to never water cool my computer.

[@TehButterflyEffect]

Water cooling is air cooling with extra steps. It used to be better than air but with modern heat sinks that problem has gone away.

[@ProcessedDigitally]

@@TehButterflyEffect water has its advantages. you will have less spikes of high temperature from a sudden increase of cpu utilization for example compared to a similarly 'speced' air cooler as water's thermal capacity allows it to absorb and move a lot of heat from the cpu even before it reaches the radiator to cool off - assuming you do not have the fans blasting 100% on your air cooler of course. (basically liquid cooling can be quieter vs same rated tdp air cooler). If you have a silent or balanced fan profile you will easily see the difference in spike temps air vs liquid. However with liquid cooling - when the cpu drops to idle from high load it takes slightly longer for the temps to fall compared to air - as the liquid is still carrying past heat...

[@username8644]

@@TehButterflyEffect Water cooling is still significantly better than air cooling in terms of thermal performance. But you guys seem to really be missing the point as to why Linus has chosen to watercool everything in his setup. Your arguments don't make any sense for Linus' situation.

@username8644 He could just heat exchange the room's air, but it wouldn't be jenky and turn into so many videos.

[@username8644]

@@luanlmd The problem is it's in his house and he doesn't want it to be noisy. And if it's air cooled you have to somehow get rid of the hot air out of the house and bring in cold air at the same time. Also air cooling would mean that he would have to use larger server chassis' for his builds since he's using regular desktop components. That's why he is water-cooling.

[@TehButterflyEffect]

Same. In fact ever since I upgraded to modern fans (old ones were 15 years old) is so quiet and cool that I wouldn't consider water cooling anyway. The pump would be too loud.

[@GuyGamer1]

Tons of vents and airflow ends up being quieter than a noise dampened steel box. IIRC the meshroom is the quietest case you can buy because you can load it up with a bunch of ultra low speed fans.

[@greggv8]

Same here. It was difficult to find a new case *without* a window or full glass side and *with* two 5.25" bays. I was tempted to relieve my 23 year old "Megatower 2000" case from printer stand duty and build my new PC in its cavernous interior that has a total of 12 drive bays. My first 100% new PC build was a 300Mhz Pentuim III in that case in 2000. I was fed up with cramped mini and mid towers so I bought a server case. It was the only computer I've ever given a name. One thing I did with it was install a powerful AC fan in the front with a relay to turn it on. I opened up the space at the bottom of the case front as much as possible, cleaned up the back side of the few vent holes there are, and cut away part of the lower side edges against the case. I cut away the punched grille in the front and opened the hole to the full, non-round shape of the fan inlet. Finished off with a baffle in the plastic front so it could only pull in outside air. I had to keep small items away from it or they would get sucked in. 😮 It wasn't noisy because the fan was all metal, made for cooling something large, and the 110VAC motor had tons of power.

One thing I like about this video is seeing everyone at Labs doing their part. I just find is awesome that when Linus, one of the main bosses and visionary of the Labs, sees his employees who he gave jobs in this exact department help him when he has issues when their jobs is to find the issues in tech today through rigorious testing. I guess what I'm trying to say is. In most undercover boss episodes(reality tv being fake though), I see a boss go into a workplace only to find it in sambles cause it's a crappy workplace with crappy stuff going on usually involving good people employeed to do this crappy job due to their crappy conditions. And even if this supposed boss wasn't "undercover", the employee most likely doesn't want to be anywhere near this person who created this pile of crap. Meanwhile, Linus creates a Labs to literal test what most companies say they test without sharing most of it publicly. So being an internet channel solely based on showing tech in a public manner, Linus helps push forward this Labs idea. Makes it reality to help others. Gets good people jobs in a field they want to specialize in. Then, when he has said problems with his own system like many of us with mostly normal systems. The good people he hired and put value in show him, the boss, how they in return value him. Hard to see that nowadays. Only time I had that in my life was when I worked at a feed store and both the manager and boss cared for me as I cared for them. Of course, being a mom and pop shop it didn't last long. Which after in my life, I worked for two major corpos and other jobs only to see how much backstabbing done by bad people in positions hurting good people doing jobs that keeps the corpo afloat. Just makes me appreciate Linus and everyone being so lax around him. It's rare yet so nice to see.

Man working on videos, animations and designs always makes my week hectic but watching LTT videos and Linus working on PCs and Stuff always makes me happy! Thanks, Linus!

Anybody else have the audio out of sync by several seconds with the video? I don't see anyone else talking about it, but I've refreshed the page, changed quality, restarted the browser, opened the video in incognito, still the problem remains, and only on this video, making it pretty unwatchable...

[@moremaddness]

Linus & Jake just work so well together!! They are the Batman and Robin of LTT... Just give them something to troubleshoot and we are a GO!!! and I am here for it. Great content

[@faaarmer]

By far my favourite LTT videos.

[@eatskatefastass]

15:12 Aww how cute that Lucas is participating in LMG's "Bring your child to work day."

[@ahzizM]

Word of caution: if you have a modular power supply, DO NOT swap it out with another power supply from a DIFFERENT vendor. There is no standard for the molex connectors going into the power supply itself. I made that mistake once, fried motherboard, chip, 2x SATA drives

[@ranzera]

One time I was upgrading my video card and needed an extra power supply cable for the it. I had lost track of the cables I had for it after a move. I figured I could just look up the power supply from my amazon history and get cables compatible with it. Good in theory. Turns out Amazon repurposed that listing for an entirely different brand's power supply which definitely didn't have compatible cables. I really lucked out because the motherboard detected a problem and wouldn't stay powered for more than about half a second. No damage done. I learned to not even trust your purchase history on amazon.

[@jwc8744]

Hey LTT, if we can see the thought process of how you determined that the PSU was the problem, that'll be very great to watch!

[@NerunSmarts]

I mean, fixing any computer's a decent bit of trial and error. I had a buddy who thought his GPU broke because his computer wasn't posting, turns out it was his motherboard because we tried the GPU and CPU in a different system.

[@thecoolkid440]

Error is inconsistent and hard to explain. Probably power supply or ram.

[@akosovari8794]

At this point I would just go with air cooling and put a pool heat pump unit in the basement that turns on when the room temperature elevates over x celsius. Would be much more failproof.

[@GODzilla_FH]

My thoughts on the video before this where two-fold: a) Why did you ever think it's a good idea to bring the water of such a gigantic loop directly into the PCs in nthe first place, when even much smaller loops get cloged over time? Anyway, this you fixed, so moving on to... b) This setup is so overdesigned and overly complicated, depending on some cheap parts like the metal clamps for the fittings, I couldn't sleep at night thinking if some small thing breaks my cellar would flood and my PCs would break. So...good luck I guess. :D And keep us entertained. :)

[@Euronius]

He has a heat exchanger now, I don't think his basement is at risk of flooding anymore. But, I could be wrong.

[@GODzilla_FH]

@@Euronius Right, of course, still there is enough water to destroys a couple of thousand dollars worth of hardware. ^^ I'm not sure how doable this would be, but I had sought a good way to chill the room itself and then use aircooling. And never be afraid again. :D

[@kgoodfarms]

Like Linus said at the beginning, problems just mean content, which means more $$ so it all works out for him 😂

[@applemirer3937]

I'm happy with it.

[@BobT36]

09:46 lol the trick with the bag is just like (using masking tape) taping an envelope under where you're drilling in a wall. Most of the bits just get caught in the envelope. Also masking tape the hole you're drilling, too. Keeps all the plaster, paint or paper around the hole from getting cracked and crumbling.

[@spencjon4822]

I'm so glad my computer is more reliable than anything owned by Linus

[@randomducc]

just in time to say my prayers to linus

[@singhsons]

I can't! xD The hight difference! When Linus looks up at the lab guy at 15:32.

[@MasonOnYouT]

Just a thought, when you said that sometimes you can swap your PSU with the cables still installed you said “sometimes even the same manufacturer” which some people could take and try it and have something else fail. Maybe give a warning to make sure they’re compatible before doing so just to save any possible confusion.

[@MrBeetsGaming]

All the time money and effort on top of the hassle of any needed repairs don't seem worth it for what I'm guessing is only a small improvement over just using AIOs or air cooling in my opinion.

[@Eagle3302PL]

The improvement is huge when you have freedom to add extra rads, also AIO water blocks are almost always worse. AIO's regularly leak. There are no reasonable GPU AIOs. Air cooling in a rack = a shit ton of noise and an extremely hot room that requires air con. He gets to make content out of it.

[@Calango741]

Linus: "Do you wanna recut this tube to be 'that much' longer?" Everyone else in the world: "You can't make a tube longer by recutting it."

[@paulpietschinski3282]

15:35 Is that dude real tall, or is Linus just super short?

[@OldSavXL]

Both 😂😂

[@AllenGuarnes]

This is why I never touch water cooling. Air cooling is just so much more reliable long term... But then again, I'm not as rich as Linus, so I need my computers to stay working for years before I even touch it again for an upgrade.

[@NormanZakaria]

Linus breaking Jake in the beginning made my day

[@nitram2962]

I'm just gonna put a little warning here about swapping modular power supplys. Like Linus said if it is the same model or manufacturer it should be fine but if not it may damage or even kill components in your PC!

[@TanielCoolGuy]

sometimes even the same manufacturer isn't safe

[@nitram2962]

@@TanielCoolGuy Very true! Always double check beforehand, or you're going to have a bad day lol

He said so in the WAN from Taiwan this year that he wanted his funeral sponsored by d-brand. Before that he said in a build video that he fully hoped his death (he was doing something dumb and dangerous) would be monetised.

is the audio out of sync or is it just my pc?

[@broman93]

It's out of sync for me too

[@aqua-bery]

3:04 important to note, if it's not the smame model there is a chance that it will expolode. For whatever reason modular cables of powersupllies really don't like playing with any powersupply other than the one they were made for. Talk about loyalty!

[@rosenclosed]

Absolutely not. The cables are standards. How would you be able to run a PC with cables from CableMod then?

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@rosenclosed They specifically detail which of their products are compatible with specific brands & models... Their own configurator states "PLEASE NOTE: It is vital that you correctly select your PSU model. Using cables that are incompatible with your power supply could result in permanent damage to your system's hardware. CableMod will not be held responsible for any damage caused by selecting incorrect cables for your power supply." Power cables have standardized plug at the device (motherboard, SSD, etc) end, not at the modular connections on PSUs. Even some brands apparently vary the modular connections between their own different models.

[@Anon3000-]

Not sure what happened, but the audio is very desynced.

[@Kwad_rat]

I had some bad experiences with building computer myself and this just reminds me that if you don't have any way to test the components, having any other rig that you can test components with, building can be really stressful. I'm really willing to pay someone who does that constantly to not have to get worried when something is not working for some reason.
