As an engineer (albeit software,) I can confirm that this is standard. All we do is make things work, for as long as they need to work, using the tools we have available. As long as it cools the computer for the duration of the test (and doesn't damage anything,) then mission accomplished! They're probably just gonna throw it out afterward, anyway. No point in wasting engineering time (which is generally quite valuable,) on fixing a problem that doesn't need to be fixed :)

​@@Xc31 I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but at no point did I say my work is shoddy. Getting new tubing or a new fitting would involve hours, if not days, of waiting, just to fix a problem that will never happen again after this one test. Fixing it is a huge waste of time and doesn't affect the outcome in the slightest. If they were selling the setup, or planned to use it again, it should absolutely be fixed permanently.

Here is why this thing exist. Not every laptop have a good original thermal design like Alienware's. And that's why aftermarket thermal design for laptop exist in China. On some poorly designed laptop, you can get better thermal performance by just solder additional heatpipes onto original module. So the target of this kind of product is some midrange gaming laptops where the performance is bounded by thermals. I have a MSI GE laptop and adding water loops increases the performance by roughly 20%. You can install a quick releases on the loop so you can unplug the pipe and carry the laptop away without worrying about leaking and stuff. It's actually make sense. And they didn't cost $600, it must be shipping or/and Alienware tax. Mine cost around $200.

[@crazygamer569]

The worst part of videos is usually the ads/sponsorships, ironically, Linus found a way to make them one of the most entertaining part of the video. The way he stays in character and keeps the same tone/energy while transitioning to his sponsorships, combined with the perfect timing, makes for some great comedy

[@gucky4717]

He got a room full of industrial Equipment but no torque screwdriver...

[@Bewefau]

yeah i said that too when he said he was gonna hand screw it. I have a feeling it prob might not be the product but the 2 idiots putting it together fault.

THERMAL PASTE! That's the problem. Have you seen how he applied it?

[@lorenzomeza6262]

I cringed soooooooooooo hard watching him slather that processor like a pb&j sandwich

[@DaftFader]

@@lorenzomeza6262 I was in tears. That legit upset me. My day is ruined! There's been tests done using Plexiglas so you can see how the paste spreads, and that's like the second worst way to spread it (and it was like the worst I've ever seen anyone use that method). You want to do a big enough pea sized blob to have enough to cover the chip, right in the center, and use the force of the metal plate evenly on it to squish it out and it'll spread perfectly with no air bubbles and spread really consistently. I'm go puke up in my bathroom now.

*The Verge flashback intensifies*

[@ThePandafriend]

@@DaftFader That works if you can trust the mounting pressure, which you can't in this case.

[@DaftFader]

@@ThePandafriend I'll always press down gently and hold if there's a lack of mounting force. The issue then though becomes one not of the application method, but of the bracket it's self causing a lack of contact. Two distinct different problems (all be it with the same end result of poor heat transfer).

[@robotospy]

Was expecting more from this video, the whole idea was amazing with water-cooling, if you have installed that correct and overclocked the CPU & GPU you can have 20% performance boost.

[@joelmarriner487]

Could the laptop even put out more power to overclock though? I'm sure the laptop would be designed to use it's full power output capabilities without being hindered by thermals.

[@ThePandafriend]

I doubt that this would be possible without replacing the psu.

[@alexcrowder1673]

@@joelmarriner487 laptops these days dont even have an adequate power supply to not throttle themselves withput being overclocked. Its actually pretty ridiculous. I almost doubled my FPS in some games just by buying a better charger on an old dell laptop.

I always want these random dumb things to some how end up being super effective.

[@damstachizz]

This is super effective. Linus is shitting on it because it only stopped a tiny bit of thermal throttling when the CPU smashed into the 99c limit in their 21c office after running a single benchmark Put this laptop in a 30c room and run it hard for a couple of hours and all of a sudden the underclock is significant and this cooling system with quick disconnects makes a ton of sense
