 be proud to party man what is this what wait what is this okay wait this is John this is Eric this is Donald Poole this is Spencer from Ireland from the north this is the whole room water cooling project from minus tech tips this is crazy typical wine is meeting style with the original plan powering the fans on the radiators was actually going to be pretty straightforward because they were going to be relatively close to the window opening but with the new plan putting them down on a little roof overhang getting power to them was actually going to be a bit of a challenge so I came up with an idea we were going to use part of the original plan which was Swift tech eight port fan splitters and then we were going to use one of those handy little wall power to four pin molex connectors and mount it down there in a way that it would be safe from the weather and then silicone over all the connections and all that so that they don't corrode so we needed a new plan and I came up with something that I thought was going to work we actually had one of those like wall power to to 2 amp 12 volt power supplies and I was like okay well it wasn't until the next morning that I grabbed that adapter and realized it's only 2 amps I wonder if that's even gonna be enough to power all the fans so I ran inside check the spec on the box for the fans and realized that each fan is 0.1 amps that means that with 20 fans on 5 quadruple radiators we need exactly 2 amps going through our splitters and out to the fans so my bacon got saved there it's just barely enough. Luke's dad was here till 4 a.m. getting all the copper piping installed we got the radiator mount finished the night before all the systems are pretty much built they just need some more quick disconnects so this is the day that it all has to come together because Nick Luke and Brandon are all leaving at the end of the workday like there's no stay late and they're going to PAX to do show coverage there so coming into the office in the morning we set out some goals okay we want to have the radiator on the roof by noon we want to have the room cleaned up and the desks rearranged we need to run water through the copper piping and get the soldering flux out of there and we need to have all the systems tubing connected by the end of the day ready to show it off so one of my interview questions were how do you feel about going up on the roof which I didn't know I was doing so I don't know as far as I had understood considering it's on the fascia boards we were putting a ladder against the side of the house and I wasn't the one doing it those two things were pretty key even we could even take the screen out of the window and probably just lean out and do it that way but apparently we're going on the roof so hopefully I'm able to check in in a little while from now considering I'll be hanging off the side of a roof trying to install a radiator on a fascia board which makes no sense I have no idea where the idea that Luke was going on the roof came from he wouldn't even be able to install the radiators from there that's just stupid we're gonna use the ladder from the ground I found out about this same time as everyone else did maybe the water draining we'll make it slightly lighter the radiator assembly ended up being incredibly heavy and there wasn't much we could do in terms of pre-installation because we hadn't actually been up there yet before we cut all of the wood and figured out how we were gonna mount it so I had to go up the ladder first with building materials like you know drill and two by fours find somewhere to put those which ended up being like a little lip for for rain water being redirected and then I had to carry that entire radiator setup up the ladder which was extremely difficult I was actually on the top of the ladder thinking that I was stuck for quite a while because both of my hands were on the radiator and I didn't have enough leverage to bring it up onto the roof without putting too much strain on the ladder so that it would move to the side and it was only by having someone hold the ladder really securely at the bottom and creeping my hand out I was able to bring it up onto the roof because it was enough on there that for me to bring it down would have been a huge momentum swing this way and for me to bring it up would have moved the ladder so it was it was pretty scary getting it up there but once it was there I was actually able to rest it on the roof and aside from needing someone to hand me tools from the window above because I could I had nowhere to store everything it was pretty straightforward from there. Do you need boards? Huh? Okay. The next step is to secure this to that. Oh my battery is no bueno. Let's find out if my eyeballing worked. Oh yes it did. We sent David for lumber and then I don't remember whose suggestion it was but we realized that having it mounted out there insects could potentially be a huge problem so we we sent him to go get some mesh that we could glue onto the intake on the radiator so that we could hopefully keep bugs out of it. Now I in my wisdom thinking that we had an entire roll of this mesh used the mesh that I had already cut to size to wipe off this extremely goopy adhesive not realizing that A that was all the mesh we had and B Home Depot was out of stock that was the last one that they had so when we sent David back to the store to buy more mesh they didn't even have any that was an appropriate size and they're out of stock for two weeks so. I'm just gonna drill here I was like you want a stud finder? He's like no I know I'm gonna put a plank up there. I was like oh okay oh my god. I would I would be upset except that it's exactly the same decision that I made exactly the same number of times. Is the pump powerful enough? I don't know you tell me. Not so sure at this point. I'm trying to stay on the sure. I know. Is the zone full? Is there any settings? I don't know. It's full. All of it is full. Okay that is not a bad flow rate. We're getting a lot of bubbles. We're still getting a lot of bubbles. I guess that's what happens when you have that much pipe. Swiftek was a great choice for us for this project because they have some of the parts that we need that are pretty unique. So they have all of the quick disconnect fittings that we need very high quality. They have the compression fittings we need. They have the water blocks that we need. They've got their latest Apple GXL. They also have their Komodo NVLE which is what we're using to liquid cool all the Titans. And finally and this is really important they have their radiator reservoir combo unit that we're using to avoid installing one additional component a reservoir inside each of the systems. So that will allow us to detach the systems from the whole room liquid cooling loop and then run them on their own. Either if for some reason we need to do maintenance on the loop or if in the winter instead of removing the heat from the room we want to kick the heat from the systems into the room to actually warm it up a little bit. I'm gonna put it on the top of here. And then this is gonna go straight up. I'll cut it at some point clamp it to the wall and then if there's an overflow it'll go up here and everything will be okay. I have literally always guessed. That look from Linus. It's okay I had to hang a painting of his wedding for his wife. Lift that down Linus. Well it needs to cycle a bit I think. No no water is just like it it's going now. Did you just turn pump off? No pump is still on for sure. Okay good. Give it some more water. More water. Be ready again. Okay okay okay. Judging by how fast it goes out of that fill tube like it's pushing. Okay are we do we need to top up the tube one more time? Can I come down or what's up? We can maybe give it a really short shot. Okay water okay stop. Okay. Are you just power cycling? Yeah. Can I see? So I mean like it's it's pushing water. You just can't really tell with the three one. Wait are we out of water? In the filter yeah but if you like your own. I'm pretty sure there's still water in the reds. Okay what just happened? That has literally never happened before. I don't think water is making it up a little bit. Yeah maybe not. There's a s*** ton of bubbles. Like coming out? Yeah they stopped for a while now they're starting again. There's a lot of them. There's a drip over here. Apparently there's a where? From the copper. Really? Yeah. Where? From the T right by the door on the hot side. Oh it's dripping green too. It's the antifreeze. Oh. The rest of it looks okay. Where is it? Blue. It's right up there. Okay get the shirt or something we can't just leave it here. Where is the shirt? In there. Do you want to take that off? I don't see any solder on that one. Do you see any? No. Yeah I didn't see any solder. That was one of the last joints you did so that was at like 330 or something. Okay yes not soldered. I'll go up there. It kind of feels like a movie or a documentary. Yeah. It's like one of those one off A&E specials.
