Whole Room Water Cooling Part 2

[kameshss]

Watching now! 

[Geekazoid]

Yes,

Heck! That picture is huge on my iPad, it's making this page quite small that I have to zoom in.

It's all that retina

[MuffinTopMike]

Very cool project and it seems like it will work well, but I wonder if you would be a able to use one big car radiator to cool all those systems instead of multiple computer rads.

[Geekazoid]

It's all that retina.

If only that were true. :mellow:

[-MOBIUS-]

It feels like you guys are rushing this project, just what I think. In my opinion projects like this should have be given lots of time

[TheUnknown]

Part 3 NOW.I can't wait lol ^^

[Ragin Asian]

Linus' pronunciation of "decal" threw me for a loop until I saw them and now I'm questioning what the correct pronunciation is.

 

Edit: Turns out it's pronounced differently in Canada.

[Deletive]

:DDDD

[danoedel97]

Did I hear Linus say "Ass ton" when testing the pump?

[alexleov]

Why to the GPU's in series. Wouldn't parallel have been much easier?

[Gumi Rokkaku]

Great video guys. Can't wait for part 3.
I had no idea the wall decals were that huge.

If you want to make the room cooler by taking the heat AWAY from the house, why would you guys use copper tubes INSIDE the room? you are not containing the heat by using copper tubing which dissipates heat even before it reaches the radiators.

 

You want a heat shielded tubing so all the heat is contained to make the room cooler in any meaningful way.

[FatalityDiablo]

well isnt this whole room water cooling useless anayways since they will move to the new office?

This. And why are there rads on top of the cases?

It's easiest to cool all of the components of a single computer in series. This way, each component needs only one input port and one output port, and only tubes are required to link them. To link them in parallel, you would need either more input/output ports on each component or some extra accessories for creating T-junctions in the water loop. It would also take more tube, and more work.

 

However, each whole computer is placed in the loop in parallel (I think(?)), allowing any computer to be taken out without breaking the water circuit for the other computers. (Although if you take the last computer out, the water circuit probably will be broken.)

While it would be sensible to insulate the metal pipes inside the room, you are overestimating their ability to transfer heat into the room air. The radiators have lots of thin-walled pipes, with a large surface area for their cross section, lots of fins, and fans to blow air through them. In contrast, the pipes in the room have none of those things. Hence, despite the pipes in the room being metal, most of the heat WILL be transferred out at the radiators.

 

I thought they would use at least 540mm radiators. Maybe they were too hard to come by?

[Tam3n]

Nice, it's fun to watch projects like these.

 

It looks like radiators were attached to the individual computers also. I guess that way they can be used without being connected to the main loop, but when they are connected, there's probably no need to run fans other than for case air flow.

It's true that those exposed copper pipes radiate heat to the room a little bit, but I'd say it's not that much since the water temperature is like, 40 C? Also there is no airflow over the surface which makes a big difference.

I wonder if plastic piping could have been used instead of copper. It's much cheaper and insulates heat better, though I guess copper has some advantages.

 

I hope LLT can move some of this setup to their new office, and at the same time perhaps make it even better.

Don't get me wrong - all of that is really cool but what I don't understand is why you guys are doing all of this when you plan on moving into another office. I mean that watercooling setup isn't exactly movable with the hard installed pipes and all. So the whole thing doesn't make that much sense to me at this point.

....get on p.2, read last comment and be ashamed of your copycat hans arse!

Dude, no reason to get insulting - that only means that both of us have the same question. And you call me "copycat"!? Man, this is not a popularity contest!

such serious, such wow! I am the biggest fame bitch eu! also best sand king global - deal with it.

[Trik'Stari]

Lol home depot wouldn't let you strap the ladder to the roof of the van?

 

I've brought home 55 gallon oil drums from the local landfill in cars no bigger than Linus' honda. But they couldn't get a ladder home from home depot, wtf canada?

[Derangel]

This is really cool. I'd love to have a space where I could do a project like that.

 

To people talking about the new office: There are giant white letters at the beginning of the video saying this was done in August. I wouldn't expect them to be in a new office until Spring, if not Summer or beyond depending on how long it takes them to find a space that works for them and how much work they have to do to that space before moving into it. Moving a company is not generally a super quick process unless you manage to get lucky and find a perfect space or one good enough that you can work around while doing renovations.
