ULTIMATE Sub-zero Phase Change Cooling PC Build Guide

What kind of cooling best fits a "white out" themed build? Sub-zero, of course! And how exactly do you get sub-zero cooling? Well, the way that WE did it was through a phase change system...
This build guide was brought to you by Intel!

[@andreat.5913]

Was pretty disappointed with the fact that you build such a system and then invest only 30 sec in explaining the overclock and the temperatures. Even worse you don't show anything about the noise of the system. This video could have been so much more.

[@Greyghostvol1]

Idk, that clearly wasnt the focus of the video. Though I agree more numbers (including overall noise levels) are always helpful.

[@jeslastname3163]

Andrea T. Yeah true. Its the reason i watched it in the first place. Wanted to see dem overclocks. Probably not worth it due to the noise! And also no price on that tower setup! WTF

[@Ravenousjoe]

Andrea T. It has a freakin compressor in the bottom of the of the case, and an 80mm case fan to exhaust the heat that the compressor puts out, overall sound is going to be high. As for overclocks, just check out his video for overclocking this card, cause why waste time when this is clearly such an impractical build guide.

GRamers You could always buy a water chiller made for custom water loops. I think FrozenCpu sold them. It's basically a water chiller for aquariums for cold water fish that they made into water cooling for pcs that pre-cools the water going in the loop.

Well he did touch on a tough subject. Heating the room your PC is in. I started by running a water cooled FX9590 overclocked. It certainly made the room hot. So I built a box that sits on top and uses a nice fan to send all that nasty heat through a 4 inch vent pipe. Other end connects to a board in the window. All my PC heat is now exhausted outside keeping the room cool.

[@theblackcatvieweraccount5402]

Certainly saves on my gas bill.

The difference is the compressor on a fridge is made for intermittent use, the occasional opening of the door, and can't dissipate heat fast enough to handle a constantly running computer. But the compressor used in the build is meant for constant use and is much more specialized for cooling a processor.

[@evolvedbeef5071]

I hire a guy that constantly eats frozen Mexican food and farts on my CPU to cool it down.

[@ruediix]

This is old but is still incredible. I agree on the power supply, don't take apart your power supply unless you have experience with safely working on high voltage electronics. Power supplies can have up to several hundred or several thousand volts even when powered off.

[@mihalyadrianbengo9615]

I'm curious for the following: 1. Can a rtx 3090 go in there? 2. Can you also cool the gpu with it? 3. With all the new hardware how efficient is it?

[@Aeruniem]

You know, I could have died painting that power supply, but MAN does it look sexy, I wasn't worried for my life at all!

[@tahsinalam8256]

the intro is great.......definitely one of the best

[@EpicGamingEct]

WOW literally Linus love the build I need this in my life, great choice in parts and you did a excellent job on this video and straight too the point great video !!!!!!

[@Nekonanda8]

This is pure art. I'm getting emotional here, it's so beautiful!

[@Jackw1865]

2021 now 😀

[@WojtriX]

Is it loud? The "fridge like" coooling...

[@xboxlive6]

WojtriX Yes, but it's designed for maximum performance, not maximum silence.

[@WojtriX]

So that's not for me, it would ruin my records... I've got Blue Spark condenser mic which would capture all the "fridge like cooling" sounds ... I'll pick water cooling and a few fans. I don't more than 4 GHz ... Oh maybe the glorious Witcher 3 will need such performance. I'll stay tuned for another PC setup which will suit my needs.

[@naorable]

WojtriX Just put it in an area where it's not near your mic :D

[@MinerDudeProductionz]

WojtriX or you can buy a silent case? Dumbass... Stop trying to sound smart.

[@xboxlive6]

EpicGamingHD Technically all cases are silent, it's the hardware that makes noise.

[@xchemicalXladybugx]

Nearly 3 years later and these kind of extreme builds are the norm at LTT. Amazing

[@Isaax]

But can it run Minesweeper?

[@vincentjpk]

+Isaax Funny and original.

[@EthanMarkWoodruff]

it can barely run Minesweeper, and barely run solitaire XD

[@user2C47]

Yes, I'm sure there is a minesweeper for the Commodore 64.

"Please don't try to cool your computer with a fridge" Later on, a video of putting a pc in a minifridge

[@superoxidedismutor]

You could lay it on its side, the oil would come back to the compressor after a few hours due to gravity... And in this case the suction and discharge lines of the compressor are on the opposite side of the compressor than the side you'd have laid it on, so it would have been safe without even waiting to power it on after putting it back up straight...

[@iota2619]

Thanks for the info, i can finally sleep with my fridge in my bed rather than in the kitchen tonight

[@jeffmiser1912]

Yo, 5 years later this shit still has me amazed, the case itself is worth around $1800 so I may not have it today, but you bet in the future this is my case Linus should remake this build with modern parts to see if we can hit 6ghz

[@wendigo6667]

Now that the 13000k is out, we have CPUs with 5.8ghz stock and can achieve 6ghz fairly easily with an aio. It's amazing how fast things have changed in just a few months.

[@1bionicshiznet]

That moment when you find out the cpu is defective.

Still coming back for that LTT nostalgia.. especially in 2021. Thanks for keeping up the good work guys! 😊

[@TheUglydandy]

How can there be no space for beer cans inside?

[@pwnmeisterage]

PC beer cooling is a fine idea. But the inside of this thing is actually pretty warm. 300W cooling block on the CPU. Standard airflow, fans and rads on everything else. Some huge air coolers and AIO/DIY loops approach or even exceed 300W ratings. The difference is that they can only cool down to ambient instead of down to around -25C.

[@TheRealEZOverdose]

was expecting to see more info on the temps than just a flash of what i assume is idle temps

[@TheRealEZOverdose]

Flat4Buggy how are we supposed to know that though is what im saying. 10 min video and it shows temps for 3 seconds

[@TheRealEZOverdose]

Flat4Buggy yea all that took place in about 3 seconds like i said. mustve missed it fist time. there couldve been a super basic chart showing load temps and non load temps because knowing load temps were single digit now i want to know how cold that thing gets at idle

[@weyderwarr]

EZOVERDOSE Exactly. The vast majority will watch this video because they want to see what it can do, not because they need help putting it together. I could only assume that this is the kind of thing someone would research further prior to setting up either way. Was hoping for an OC montage feat. Linus and Luke.

[@PalfraDK]

EZOVERDOSE I agree. The focus in this video is completely wrong. Why does Linus bore us with things like how to screw shit into place and not tell us how this thing actually performs. It's retarded.

Is that a refrigator or a computer?

stick a sandwich and a Mtn Dew in it and see what happens.

running minesweeper is like deviding 1 by 0 even when its cooled like this it wont work

lol, hook up another condenser connected to a heat sink with a fan to blow the cold air and you have a sweet fridge
