 We are going to liquid cool all five of our editing workstations together So those are like core i7 6 cores and GTX Titans, then we're going to take that water We're going to take it out of the building and then we're going to put that on a massive radiator So we're actually taking all that heat and dissipating it outside causing not only our systems to run cooler But also our room in which we do our work to be cooler Well the whole actual goal of the whole room water cooling project was to cool down the room Where you could have done a much cheaper and easy solution of actually installing a like a seat unit But instead we've decided to go along with this how effective will it actually be? not hugely But hopefully it'll help a little bit and be really cool One system in particular was the main inspiration for this project And that's edsles machine which had a couple of problems Number one is that the system itself was always overheating because he always had his six core processor pinned at a hundred percent So they were kicking out a bunch of heat into his quite inadequate CPU cooler Which was then not keeping his CPU cool enough so problem number one was that his system was actually Overheating so much like 80 90 sometimes even above 90 degrees that it was thermal throttling And he wasn't even getting all the performance out of it And then problem number two was that the person sitting in front of it was constantly complaining about the heat in the room So with the whole room water cooling setup We can cool the system make it more powerful because we got a 12 core zion for it and Make that person complain less by making the room cooler nope Originally I hadn't planned to paint the room the project was going to be much smaller scale And it was going to be just about liquid cooling the machines But I realized that if we're going to take the room apart clean it up presumably and pull all the systems out of it Well this is a great opportunity to take it from a place where we all sit at our computers and work and Turn that into like a really cool workspace that really feels like Linus Tech Tips Make it feel like like home and like a place that's really cool to be in and work on our craft For some reason It's got the drum sheets in the heart Did you hear that? Oh my god it fell off that's why What? Look it detached on the side Yeah Fortunately Really? Oh my god yeah this is terrible You might say terrible It's Hesperanble So I drew upon my experience painting houses and training painters to get that done in kind of a Linus Tech Tips gray And then as much as I've got a fair bit of painting experience I'm a little bit rusty and I have some experience training people who have never painted before But Nick has really never painted before keeping the quality level up was a bit of a challenge as well Nick did his best though and between the two of us we managed to get the whole job done Although by the second coat I did pretty much most of it myself since it was you know the second coat is when you clean up the mistakes from the first coat a lot of the time Finishing the first coat of paint was really nice I was able to put down the roller and kind of step back and go yeah this is starting to look really cool And I wanted to kind of turn to my sides and say hey guys don't you think this is great but I realized everyone was gone So I wandered downstairs and found out that while I was painting instead of everyone else kind of proactively figuring out how we can move the project forward They were doing arts and crafts and making a shield for Luke and pinning buttons to turn his shirt into like Intel button armor All that might have been okay if at least they had done a decent job of making button armor I am cloning over everyone's old drives so that when they get their new computers it'll be like using the same drive So Brandon can have his viruses which he refused to take care of, Taren can have all his slow unoptimized drives and everything and we don't have to reinstall anything or waste any time Freaking Taren this whole time has been telling me that he has an SSD in his system and that his slow boot is unrelated That's Taren's drive. I wonder what the slowness of his computer's been about Damn it Taren Having a pile of cases and graphics cards and even the water cooling gear alone was a pile Having this mountain of hardware that was actually as tall as me really made me better understand the scope of what we were undertaking So apparently the project was pushed up a day, I actually had no idea, was not told by anyone but that seems to kind of be a Linus Media Group thing There's like you have to do this at some point in time somehow, no one knows, no one's going to be helping you and we're not really sure when But you won't have enough time so just make sure you do it really quickly Like the fully this actually gets finished before we move on to something else Well it turned out Linus didn't actually check the specs for the radiators before he bought them So when I tried to mount it on the top there's fittings that would normally be on the bottom of it that then pressed against the top of the case So I put it up on an angle and you couldn't actually get screws all the way through the fan, the top of the case, past the fitting and into the radiator So I had to drill holes in the top which was fantastic, thank you, thank you Linus So Luke actually ended up having to drill holes for each of the radiators before we could even start assembling the systems That took up a ton of his time that otherwise he would have been able to spend helping me build systems It got to the point where we actually had to recruit Edzel to help us build computers even though his system building experience is not really that much Hey this is pretty nice tubing Fluttery Nice That one was mostly painless, the next one should be the second easiest of all of them Alright And then it was pretty much time to water cool the systems Something that I ended up doing the vast majority of myself So that's getting the tubing on the fittings for the CPU and GPU block Running it outside of the case and then at that point I handed them off to Ed who was the one who actually figured out how the fittings worked for the quick disconnects To install the quick disconnects at the back on both the top radiator as well as the tubing coming out of the inside of the case Installing everything in the systems was a monumental task and everyone had to chip in in ways that they haven't really done before I even had Edzel helping me assemble GPU water blocks onto the Titan cards because that can be very time consuming And I needed to move on to the next thing that I could do and Luke was drilling holes in cases So we had to parallelize the workflow a lot just to account for how time consuming everything was going to be Well, because I'm a plumber I deal with this sort of situation of soldering copper together and dealing with PEX lines and different fittings For myself I would say maybe a two The typical homeowner or person that would try to tackle this on themselves would probably be closer to eight or nine Maybe even a titch higher. It all depends on your skill levels This project after I understood what they were wanting I thought it was a very interesting project These are all what you call dry fit Just to see if everything fits in the right places Then we'll hold it up like that, solder it And then these are all three inches apart, three inches apart Nice and neat From December 13th to 20th 2014 you can save on select Intel CPUs, NUCs and SSDs with special holiday rebates from select retailers Click now to learn more So we got the vinyl decals in and they're actually pretty big Huge Almost life size, for Linus it is life size We had to pay some guy in the parking lot Oh, uh, rainators Yeah, I was just doing the exiting for the camera Oh, I thought you were leaving No Okay I think a little bit of confusion was bound to happen and I think overall we're a little confused
