A plug-in external water cooling loop would be a pretty cool feature for some of these high end gaming laptops. The manufacturer designs the cooling loop with a pipe to ports on the outside of the laptop, then sells you an optional external AIO block that you just plug in when you need the extra cooling during sweaty gaming sessions or on very hot days.

Always a good time for viewers when Alex and Linus do sketchy cooling thing. Linus always starts out excited before being stunned at how they're going to do the thing before going all super excited puppy and overdoing the thing despite warnings not to. And then back to disappointed uncertainty before they get good results back and the excitement returns. I have always enjoyed the groaning, head-scratching chaos Alex adds to the team and to videos in particular.

[@not_so_native_native]

​​@@wyattroncin941i wouldve soldered, but the issue wasn't soldering it was their fancy infra red machine heating the whole heat pipe system up, so that the heat gun and soldering iron added to it; instantly made the other heat pipes solder melt, if you dont have that machine you would be pretty okay(it would take longer to melt the solder you trying to add tho )

[@wyattroncin941]

@@not_so_native_native without the reflow jig or a preheat oven you'd struggle to get enough heat in to actually melt the solder. It's a heat sink after all, and a soldering iron doesn't generate that much heat compared to a CPU. You could still get away with soldering, but you'd need to use a slightly lower preheat temperature and go much slower than they did so you aren't heat soaking the whole thing with the iron. You could also make a jig to rest the whole thing on, made of wood or machined aluminum with an oil pan heater underneath. That way if you do melt the cooler it doesn't fall apart on you.

[@4Gehe2]

Ain't there a fabricator or such in LTT who could tell these that copper alloys work hardening can be negated with a basic butane torch (Like a kitchen one is enough). Which is why we use copper alloys for complicated loops and brass instruments. You can also melt wax in to the piping to prevent it from collapsing when you bend it. Copper and copper alloys are actually REALLY wonderful stuff to work with.

[@grdprojekt]

24:00 I think it's because the laptop doesn't use the dGPU when it's running the internal display and idling, the mux switch turns the dGPU off. When you plug an external monitor to the laptop, as the HDMI (or DisplayPort) is wired directly to the dGPU, the mux switch will activate the dGPU at idle thus the thermal sensors and whatnot. Happened to me on two different laptops with a dGPU and a mux switch. I assume if the laptop doesn't have a mux switch the dGPU will run continuously thus the sensor readouts.

@@DigitalJedi I meant like a square of copper on top of the heatpipes that go over the cpu and gpu dies, or a square of copper over laptops with vapor chambers that you can flip open a plastic cover and then press onto an external cooler that uses heatpipes to move the heat to a larger air cooler.

I also suddenly came across a third option: ASUS ROG Strix G513 R7 6800H/RTX3060 for +- 900-1000$ The priority is the size and color rendering quality of the display, as well as relevance for playing modern heavy single-player titles at high settings, and of course you want it to be reliable 2023 years' tuf specs looks tastier than Legion for the same price, but tuf 22 years old laptops were problematic, it’s unclear how things are now: I haven’t found a review of this model, just a few reviews.

Ive done tool and die for a long time. And done tool and die for elecronics manufacturing. You do NOT want to know how close they came to mimicking the actual manufacturing proc. for making these heat tube/heat sink assembillies. But I am gonna tell ya anyway. OEM's use a thick as heck chunk of aluminum and steel to clamp things together then throw em in an oven to get the heat to melt the solder. That way they can shim the pads if things are visiably warped... But they still ship the warped ones. That heat sink was probably in the rework area, probably. Just because it was for a top of the line laptop, otherwise ir would go to assy for a test just like they did. Thats it. Humans with simple tools are often the most precise and accurate means of manufacturing anything large. With practice we can even reconize flaws that are on orders of magnatude smaller then light, we cant measure the flaw but we can detect them just with our fingertips. We are increable animals all of us.
