"There's no proper way to do something this stupid." "I have zip ties." Perfect

[@casparharte]

"100% pro"

[@wheetcracker]

fwiw zip ties are actually used for professional cable management

[@wheetcracker]

@Destro I work in power electronics. We build large power converters and use zip ties almost exclusively for cable management. This is entirely because our equipment is often subjected to environments with a lot of shaking and vibration. Wires have to be really secure so that they can't vibrate, wear through their insulation, and short out. It's especially important given that we're talking voltages up to 1000vdc. Unsecured wires can literally cause fires lol. My point was that zip ties are very much a professional tool. They're just not optimal for applications like ethernet runs where the wires are stationary, the voltages are low, and they need to be easily disassembled.

@@shaun4bigblocksllc, I would say that is a big no, though I understand your point. Proper tools allow for far more consistency and a better finish to your work, but it doesn't magically make it easy for just anyone to do a job. Skills are required in any case. I can carve something out of wood with a butter knife, the finish will be poor and it will be very difficult and time intensive... when I could have just used proper sharp/shaped carving tools. The real skill would be the carving, not making things needlessly difficult.

@@Savinmoneyforparts, eh, even cheap meters can read mains voltage safely... if you probe correctly. He apparently had it in current mode, which is bad since current probing tries to be as close to a short as possible to not affect the measurement, but apparently it had overcurrent protection. The issue I have is that the power supply is designed for a specific load, and I don't think they measured the watts pulled by the fan and pump to make sure the power supply can handle it, let's hope the engineers put in a good margin for the parts.

[@LycanWitch]

You guys should really consider pressure testing these in-house made water loops for future builds.. rather than "wait and see" to see if any leaks develop over time, just get an automotive hose pressure tester or any hand pump really, fill your loop or component with fluid, and give it a couple psi and see if any water seeps out from any of the fittings or o-rings. if it can stand up to not leaking while under pressure, then you know it will have zero issues while under less pressure during normal operation.

[@Sophistry0001]

Damn, that's a really good idea.

[@AdrienSantosCoelho]

Even tho I agree to some point a pressured system can have no leaks and when there's only flow and low pressure it can leak. Most rubber seals need pressure to seal be it by the mounting or the fluid. A o'ring for example can seal at pressure and if the mounting is not thigh enough it will let fluid trough at lesser pressure.

[@r000OO00tt]

Super overkill

[@chubbysumo2230]

these systems should be near atmosphereic pressure anyways, probably less than .5psi ever in the loop.

[@emu071981]

A better idea would be something like the Dr Drop pressure tester where you don't even put water in. You just assemble your loop, attach the pressure gauge and use the pump to put in some pressure. Leave it for a bit and if the pressure remains stable then your loop is good to go. You may need to google to find the kit in stock though and to get a better price (I have seen the kit costing anywhere from $25AUD to $200+). I did look at making my own for testing my own loops but either I overengineered my tester or the maker of the prebuilt kit is getting a volume discount for parts as my kit was costing about double to triple the cost of the prebuilt. :\ www.singularitycomputers.com/shop/tools-2/dr-drop-pressure-tester-w-air-pump/

For the next "routing pipes through sheet metal" adventure, you could use the same kind of plastic or metal bushings used when routing electrical cables through metal conduit and junction boxes.

[@Kodvik]

Alex engineering abilities are improving a lot, GJ guys \o/

[@lcoopcooperl]

*LTT:* We watercool EVERYTHING!

[@LauS0]

And never actually finish

[@jamberrytastic]

or is it WWE

[@theonewhowatchesthewatchme2275]

They gonna water cool the mouse to now??

[@priitmolder6475]

watercool pre-order hype?

[@SomeNot]

And add RGB to everything

[@notthere83]

LOL 9:00 - "Can we get some of this?" - "Nooo."

[@ShawnStrickland]

Backblaze works great, been with them for a couple years now and i've always been satisfied.

[@SpyAlelo]

This is probably one of the most unnecessary yet best mod on a piece of gear that Linus has ever done. I'm actually impressed.

[@sopcannon]

you did hear how loud it was to begin with?

[@andrewyork3869]

Agreed out side of industry, I think this has to me the best kinda home gamer build like this.

[@legendaryoutcast4440]

"This is getting more legit with every video" *2 seconds later* "This is leaking" "Yup"

[@TheVergile]

the lesson here is that if you start incompetently enough you have a lot of headspace for gradual improvement without ever being required to actually do it properly

[@timchambers5242]

You could have cut the top and added a 140mm fan (or two) on top and left the internal heatsinks as they were. Not 27C from water blocks but should be quieter than 40mm fans for same airflow. I converted 2x 1U PSU of a 3U NAS to use 120mm fan (or 140mm with a reducer) with a shroud to cover the rears (less airflow restriction now those 39mm fans have been removed). I also added a cardboard channel to direct airflow from 1.5 of the front intake fans to pass through the CPU heatsink and out the back grill.

[@peterdekeles.]

Great Job. I would have put some rubber grommets in the case top. But hell it works.

[@tonybowers9533]

My dyslexic ass thought the title said "Water Cooling a Nintendo Switch!" I'm now hoping this is a real thing soon.

Was looking for this one

[@leonwolff530]

There's written "San Fransisco" lul 7:28

[@crazydavelp]

The amount of the word "like", is like, too damn high.

[@dreggory82]

The lack of holes is for the RF frequency isolation, it's a faraday cage for important reasons. You could have ran a bunch of smaller tubes in parallel through the fan holes.

[@aSrRx96]

hey you can drill multiple holes along the milling zone and then mill it, it produces less stress on your router.

[@LastStopGaming]

Next: Water Cooling a calculator, then adding some RGB to it!

[@stickoutofthemud]

A 1980s pocket calculator.

[@briankaphengst1235]

There was a facebook post of their page about an email to Alex about overclocking a TI-83.

[@WestleyBates]

theyd find a way

[@bankasi6468]

you were right LMAO they’re water cooling a calculator now

[@nandulalkrishna923]

they actually did it. today there is their youtube short clip

[@thegamingtrucker4956]

the pitch meeting. we want to water cool a 10gig switch. Jake: you cant water cool a switch. Linus: Hold my Madrinas Coffee.

[@nunyabusiness3786]

Describe madrinas coffee

[@Ferotiq]

Nunya Business madrinas has their own ltt coffee

[@as7river]

They need to water cool their Madrinas coffee and make a video about it.

[@jeremylindemann5117]

@@as7river They need to use coffee as the fluid in a water cooling loop.

[@soupwizard]

@@as7river Yeah a little bucket you put your Madrinas coffee in, and the water cooling loop around it runs to a radiator chilled by a refrigerator. That way your drink stays cold, even if you get distracted by dropping something expensive.

[@foufou81]

Thank you for reminding that physics and mechanical engineering are part of everything we use everyday ! Linus you are a perfect example of what a great entrepreneur is !

[@michaelcaballero6538]

i think the block looks really good!

[@RefrigeratedTP]

Alex's hair is more impressive than any $60k pc or entire watercooled room. Edit: the fact that it worked and actually works BETTER now is pretty impressive (read: surprising) too though.

[@neojack333]

well they turned a 1U switch to a ... 4 U i guess ? wich also need yearly maintenance. but yeah it's the first silent 10Gbit switch in the world

[@dangerousmythbuster]

Seeing Linus with side cutters is giving me flashbacks to drilling through motherboards. 14:32 Oh no.

[@mohawksniper79]

Congrats you made something that was simple more complicated and more parts to go wrong and break 🤠👍.

[@NavySeal2k]

There is a youtube video where they located the guy that designed the o-ring setup that is on the cupola of the ISS to open the window protection. He still had the original plans and it is just 2 orings but the tolerance was incredible XD

[@huerta25264]

the thing is network switches modems and routers actually slow down when they run hotter just like any other computer or device so it actually does improve it so it runs more consistently and protects it from dying from extended use so it will extend its life as well.

[@Grey_Winters]

I love your editors
