Watercooled Server Build

Buy water cooling parts on Amazon: http://geni.us/d3E5P

 

There's the right way of doing things, and then there's our way of doing things... Don't try this watercooled server build at home, kids!!

What about the server room re-organization video?

 

Edit: I'm also confused why this HAS to go there? Can't it just go on the bottom and use longer cables?

 now this is what you would expect from LMG.

Trying to do something properly and good because the smallest issue could end up in a disaster, mistakes all over the place and ends up being a dodgy af solution anyway

 

Well done Linus.

I can't wait for the update video when some part of the loop inevitably leaks and fries the petabyte project below it 

[NumLock21]

Asetek does make water cooling solutions for servers, and they use a method call Hot Liquid Cooling, but where's the fun in that when you can DIY!

I loved this part: Says that he can't have a leak because of the petabyte project, then uses epoxy to fix his f'ed up radiator. Typical Linus.

What's up with the hissing audio? Seems to pop up at random points in the video, 8:17 for example

We've been having intermittent issues (depending on what solution we're using on a given shoot) with non-RED audio modules interacting with the new RED cameras. Still waiting on the RED module to arrive, which should be here soon... It was a lot worse before we got some filters on there and went in to manually tweak levels and cut some frequencies  

 

EDIT: And unfortunately this wasn't a situation where we could just swap in a new solution and reshoot the whole thing

Does the radiator that was epoxied still work?

[natsuu]

could someone put together for me a server build around 500-1000$ and one at 500$

[Oshino Shinobu]

You're kidding, right? Watercooling is going to be sitting above the $20,000 (I think that was a cost Linus mentioned) Petabyte storage server? 

 

LTT does have a tendency to do things the wrong way, but this seems a bit more than the wrong way to me. Potentially, your entire video archive (and a very expensive set of drives) is only as reliable as this watercooling loop is, mounted in a case not designed for watercooling. 

 

EDIT: And you're using a self repaired radiator.... Or not, watching this video as writing this. 

[ThatAngryGnome]

$30000+ of harddrives and all of LTT's history on a server? 

 

Better drill into the watercooling rad on top of it and epoxy it shut!  

 

Seriously guys wtf!

 

Edit just watched him replace it. JK guys thank god

And what filters have you used? 

Also Hi , it's my first post here!

[Daniel644]

There is a RIGHT WAY and there is a LINUS WAY.

[Guest]

meh, better to filter it myself

Ah, I see. I also heard intermittent static while watching too, that's probably what it was. Thought it was my speakers

So he had to have it rack mounted?  Could not build a freestanding server?  Keep the water away from all the other items on the rack?

Holy  shit the jank was real this episode.

 

He fucks up one rad, realizes that he should have just double side taped it to the chassis, then proceeds to drill the fractal rad.  

 

Compression fittings and "leak free" aren't in the same sentence.  Those fuckers can't be trusted.

 

The part about water evaporating through tubes is very "nope".  I've had a loop running for 2.5 years and the micro res didn't even come close to losing enough fluid for it to matter.  I only had to tear it down because X1 has a 2 year lifespan in service.

 

If you're going max reliability  I personally would swap the o-rings on the fittings as well to beefier 10.4 x 2.4mm viton ones.  They give a lot better seal and are immune to degradation.

The company i work for makes overclocked servers in Montreal Canada. www.ciaratech.com. We have a 2U system with a closed loop water cooling set up made by asetek (called the ORION HF). We have fans that cool the RAD and the PCI cards. So far, our system with the 6950x runs at 4.3GHZ/4.4Ghz (we have 2 profiles loaded on the system, you choose which is more stable for your application). It uses the ASUS X99WS IPMI motherboard, with a special BIOS build made for CIARA by ASUS. Its built more for High Frequency Trading, but you add in a graphics card or GPU and you're set.

What is the name of that case?  I am doing a new server build and was wondering

I know right. not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing. It makes the video more interesting but at the same time, he is doing something which should be easy, the hard way.

Which is the video where he explains how his video exporting set up works. Just trying to put everything together in my mind.
