I've said it before, I'll say it again: Linus and Alex doing jank water cooling is ALWAYS a great video. And this one actually performed pretty ok for parts that are almost all terrible on their own and not meant to be used together in the slightest. Alex is a master of just making it work. And I always get a kick out of how disappointed Linus is that the grand idea ended up being nothing but duct tape and cable ties. Adding some Jake to the mix just made it even funnier how bad it all came out, while still kind of doing the job.

[@Malicious2013]

Proof that Alex is a fantastic engineer. Taking random garbage from the mid-2000s and making a functional water-cooling system (mostly) capable of handling a 13900K and an RTX 4090 is actually pretty fricking incredible. 😂

That fan was the most above board part of the whole build...

[@arizona_anime_fan]

This was amazing. Back in the late 90's early 2000's we used to watercool like this. I helped a friend build a geothermic radiator, that ran a copper pipe 15' under his back lawn; 30' into his yard and back again to his house, through fitting in the side of his house (all copper piping mind you) back to the office, where he had quick connect fittings custom built to run copper piping up to his computer, which was on a rudimentary test bench, and to hand made copper sinks. This took me way back to those days. I'm surprised no one mentions the galvanic corrosion issues caused by an aluminum sink and copper blocks... still that was entertaining!

[@bepbep7418]

[@NeXtarProducts]

Damn. LTT needs to take notes! Geothermal water cooled PC sounds amazing!

[@arizona_anime_fan]

@@NeXtarProducts it still works. he has his modern gaming rig on it now. changed the fittings so normal water cooling piping can connect to the copper pipes. the water is like 40F year round, he has a pretty heavy duty pump in a separate room so the whole thing is pretty much dead silent; and he lives in an area the ground freezes. part of why we buried the pipes down to 15 feet was because the ground doesn't freeze that deeply, and the temps are maintained at a pretty regular 40F or so year round (we consulted a guy about this when we were planning it). I remember when we built it we were joking about how much overkill it was for a 45W cpu being overclocked, and that it might be able to cool a cpu running 200W through it. Didn't realize that he could easily run a 1000W system on it. still can't warm the water, and he's got a 3090 and threadripper on it.

[@ChristianStout]

@@Incommensurabilities I don't fully understand it myself, and it varies by graphics API, but generally SLI is implemented at the _engine_ level, and then optimized on a game-by-game basis, so the SLI profile/settings for one game will be [at least partially] compatible with other games that use the same engine.

For anyone wondering, the radiator used is a 6 column Alphacool Cape Cora from 2006, they were actually really good for the day but were designed for silently cooling a Core2 Duo era CPU (so up to 65w TDP).

Liquid cooling a core2duo Sounds like an absolute meme for someone Born in 1996 lmao

Tbh, I'd love to get a dual pump setup and try to liquid cool a system using 12 columns of the cape coral system. Maybe more if needed. See what the minimum is for, say, a 5960X or whatever the more modern R7 chip is. Or hell, try cooling the most power hungry CPU available. Would be an interesting thought experiment.

Those fittings in the possible mis-directed package are for plastic semi-flexible hard line that is normally use in semi-trucks for there air lines. They are good connectors, but only for high pressure system due to press to fit. The pressure tries to push the line back out, creating a seal by the design that requires the line to by push into the connector and the plastic ring must be held into the connector at the same to remove the connector.

I swear this series just for Linus to get nostalgic

[@MarchuxProductions]

Every Latvian (including myself) has forgotten to even watch the video and is currently being absolutely mindblown by Linus receiving Inta's mail

"It's handmade and passive!" Alex's enthusiasm is infectious.

[@Emy0530]

I love the Alex: so linus was thinking... Jake: oh god

[@theteenageengineer]

Jake wanting to drill a hole in the case is totally giving me vibes of working on a project with your dad and he says that we might need to drill a hole so get ready to drill the hole and then he figures out a solution without needing to drill a hole and you get all disappointed.

If you think that’s the best cable management you’ve ever seen then you’ve never looked inside a Mac Pro Tower. Leaving aside issues of whether it’s as fast, or whether you like the OS, the cable management in a pro Mac tower is another level.

I love the new production quality. You should call these shows, “The Scrapyard” because I think this is the closest we are going to get to scrapyard wars

Alex might be the luckiest guy on the planet. He gets paid to use his passions, pc building and engineering, and come up with the funniest work arounds he can come up with!

1:00 Best B-roll ever HANDS DOWN

[@m_abilash]

6:18 - "I can't be expected to read everything I approve" - dream words that I wish my boss said !!

[@CJonestheSteam72]

Jank with Alex is the series we live for

[@Chxse-yp6ng]

"can you believe no one bought this" legendary tribute to the one and only

This is the best advertisement for air cooling I've seen.

[@DrSmugface]

3:50 those are fitting we used for air .. they easily hold 10 bar pf pressure or 145 psi and they work with any kind of tubes aslong as they are the right size

[@arturskovrigo3915]

It is weird how much hype I get when Linus mentions Latvia or Mikrotik (a Latvian company).
