 All right, so on Friday while we were shooting Channel Superfun there was a bit of a disaster and all the computers needed to be Recombobulated on their own loops instead of flushing. So we're gonna do some diagnosis here This is a whole room water cooling project I Think one thing that we need to do is get that second pump in here because I'm having trouble bleeding all the systems so Here's our big boy second pump And I have some tubing scraps. So we're just gonna hook this baby up. Oh We're going from this outlet to this inlet To the rest of the room. I gotta go. I gotta go hook up a system before we start this though. Otherwise, it's just gonna Go nowhere So we're gonna put you back on the whole room loop then we're gonna go turn on the Pumps for the whole room loop. Wow, your system runs toasty when it's just got a dual rad too many bubbles though So first the first pump because we don't want either of them to run dry Boom then the second pump All right, let's see if we're getting better flow rates with all that extra pressure actually that does look quite a bit better I'm watering the bathtub and not bad pressure. Oh It looks like we're actually getting more gunk out of your system. That's interesting so Let's go have a look at the system Let's go have a look. Maybe it's uh That's not I did not expect that we already flushed the systems our temps They're okay. Not great. Well right now your system has a five by quad radiator Just for itself. So it makes sense that it's doing all right That's weird turning off your pump made absolutely zero difference To the sound in this computer what is making so much noise Wait, what did I just unplug? Oh Wasn't your pump. What was it? I don't know. Let's just not worry too much about that Okay. Oh, no, there it goes Dead silent now Okay, so this one's purged Hold on a second though. Oh Oh That's a problem No, no, no, no, no, no bad bad bad. Oh We ran dry absolutely terrible worst thing ever oh Boy That was not Not what we were trying to do Okay That might explain why it was so quiet Now aside from needing to replace the pump I also need to replace the power supply for the fans on the roof because we were so close to the 2 amp limit of The power supply we were using originally that the fans just don't start up unless I start half of them and even then sometimes not But first see these marks right at the tip of my finger. Those are growth Those might be growth Probably bubbles though That means that block performance is definitely affected by the growth in our loop even on the furthest system from the pumps But since we haven't seen block performance affected negatively yet what I'm hoping is we can at least run it until we move and Once we've added some some kind of a biocidal agent like iodine to the loop We should hopefully kill that stuff and inhibit the rest of its growth So we have to clean those blocks the blocks will need to be disassembled for cleaning. What about the rats? Do they have to be replaced? Right now it looks like that would be our best bet. Yes, or we could just irresponsibly not do it and Put in a biocidal agent put an inline filter in and just kind of go. Yep. Good enough and not clean anything That is another option. Everything's fine out here. I wonder if the fans are still running Cannot tell from here, but what I can tell from here is that I have the I have the soldering gear that I need to make my new power supply. So I guess why don't we do that? So I have never used this soldering kit before this is a new one Oh Terrible terrible news. I Forgot my wire strippers. I guess I'll have to use my teeth Probably teeth It's a nice smart watch you have there. Oh, thank you It was recommended by a guy that I know Sounds like a dick I think this is supposed to go in here, but I'm gonna go see if I have wire strippers. I definitely don't have flux though I'm here. I found one in the in the closet. It's from one of the power supplies for one of these systems So it's all sort of part of the same inventory for this project Okay So that's on Wait a minute. I not only have no flux. I I have no solder. I do have to go to Home Depot. D'err So my computer just started making you know, a bit of an awful noise It sounded like the screams of a thousand dying babies and here it comes again I don't know. You don't know what dying babies sound like Especially not a thousand We need to get everyone's but Burkle's system off the whole room loop You just put mine on the loop and now you're turning it off Well, it's a diagnostic process Why not mine again? Because we want all the pressure going to your loop to force bubbles out of it because you're you're at the very end So you're you kind of got the bitch loop spot All of this seems like an excellent idea I'm trying to loosen bubbles. I'm not gonna tip it. We just plant it Okay, I'm gonna tip it. If I get hit in the head with the hard drive, I'll be upset. Not as upset as the hard drive but You shouldn't drop hard drives like that said the guy who took the system and dropped the hard drive before Okay. Well the bad news is that two pumps is still not enough to bleed all the systems at once But is definitely enough to properly bleed one system at once when before with only one pump. It was like Barely enough Cool Okay, so I've got everything I need here for soldering. I've got my soldering kit ready I've got my soldering station. I've got my soldering iron. I've got my sponge. I've got my solder I've got my flux pen Because I couldn't find my other thing of flux, so I'll just use a pen whatever Okay, right, and I have my sacrificial Mole X connector that I'll be using to put on to the end of this and then some electrical tape to go ahead and seal the whole thing up. Oh and Turns out I do have wire strippers here at the office. So I I guess let's get started. So first thing we'll need to do is cut this connector off And boop So let's find out if this works I don't have much hope. Actually, I'll be fine Okay And Bippity boppity 14 volts. All right 12 Okay Aren't you worried that the rain is going to get to that thing? There's no explanation Quick go before he realizes that I'm back Okay, up we go Oh, it's okay. That seems good Seems good. Oh, it's raining right now actually Okay You may have to go up there now. I kind of have to pee Nobody's watching Um, no, hold on. Oh Oh what? Okay, we have one of these powered over over SATA Oh In fact, there are three leads for the three splitters Which means we need to split this to two molex and then split it again to oh I could have just see I could have just soldered it to that entire harness. But instead I just left one connector I thought that was all we needed Wait, you're leaving it there? Seems safe. Oh, okay. I guess I could take it out of the rain What are you looking for? Nothing. I hate you Do we have any molex y-splitters? Probably Yeah, that's what I thought Why do you need a y-splitter? No reason Because I soldered the wrong connector to the end of Shut up So the proper solution would have definitely been to re-solder this especially because I did such a poor job of soldering it in the first place But this is what we'll be doing Molex to SATA to quad SATA Okay So we wire these up Bippity boppity boop No fans are spinning Let's try one Oh, there's SATA so we have oh We only did up one of the grounds it's the wrong one back down we go Oh, I can't even oh Yeah, yeah, I'll meet you back at the soldering iron You could grab a SATA harness from the closet in front of Burkle or behind him or whatever They're in a bag on the shelf right inside the door Should just pretend none of that ever happened Got it on the first try Yeah, right Now because we have SATA connectors on the fan power splitters up there we'll be using a SATA modular power supply harness as our sacrificial lamb today And we will be attaching pretty much the entirety of it giving us a total of four connectors Because if we had just done one connector of completely the wrong type that would have been silly If you have any tips for soldering don't be afraid to let us know in the comments No trolling Just kidding don't do that that's for nine volts not soldering irons Don't touch that dial Linus Tech Tips will be right back Save on select Intel Core i7 processors and 730 series SSDs with instant rebates during Valentine's week February 14th to 21st 2015 click now to learn more Ah it's hot which makes sense This could almost be its own entire episode The comedy of errors that is Linus trying to create this adapter Let's put that as a long wire That is a long wire It's about one Linus height in height Boop Ah I still haven't gone pee It definitely doesn't go away Okay take that suckers Nope nope Just come back out What did I have this clip to Must have been tubing There we go okay That's pretty much it All fans except one spinning why is there one not spinning What is going on here What is this What is this Okay Next time on West Coast Hole Room Okay so I ordered a couple of filters and hopefully these will filter whatever is going on in our system Oh my god it's moving
