I Can't Believe This Worked!!!

[AlexTheGreatish]

Lots of whacky computer water cooling projects have been attempted before, but none as crazy as concrete - and turns out it works amazingly.

 

Buy concrete mix

Yes finally, I've been waiting all day

I cant wait to watch this when I get out of class

[LukeSavenije]

i feel like we need something harder

Finally a rock solid cooling solution. Thanks Linus!

You should try liquid metal thermal paste in the loop i wonder how that will work

[ars3n1k]

Why wasn't this on Floatplane (or at least the forum part)?

So this is what Bob The Builder uses to cool his PC's then

that would be the most expensive cooling ever. Like 2 litres of liquid metal would be in orders of thousands of $.

Floatplane on the forum isn't a thing anymore, dude

[biff420]

That isn't concrete, that's cement.  You didn't add any aggregate (you know, the sand the instructions on the bag called for), so stop calling it concrete.

Videos still get posted there everyday? Minus this one apparently

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in concrete

Some content gets released simultaneously if time is a factor, like show coverage.

Not if you used the Thermal Grease from one of their older videos (

Hey what is the second best conductor of heat or electricity? Copper ! look into this a mixture of copper powder mixed with water or glycerin for a coolant here is the powder you will need glycerin https://www.amazon.com/Copper-Powder-100g-Atomized-Metal/dp/B00B0D4CCS

i joined to say cement + water is just wet cement, not concrete. 

 

its like pouring gasoline on some wood and saying its a fire.

Or April Fool's Day... Cuz a week later wouldn't be funny.

[TechyBen]

I'm still not sure if joke or serious. XD

[CodeNova]

Should have used silica sand, or diatomaceous earth.

Edit: or graphene powder.

Edit: Monolayer Graphene Oxide Water Dispersion

This started off as me being a smart ass, now I'm just curious.

The best coolant is actually human sweat. It's why homo sapiens is the best endurance runner in hot weather.

[SkyHound0202]

Did you diluted the solution?

Why not just use liquid metal with copper tubing?

 

/s

[unijab]

@LinusTech Would love to see you guys do this for real... in the correct way.

 

 

dig a 0.5 round  by 1m deep hole...

get 20m of tubing(filled with water)

coil it up in the bottom of hole

then fill the hole with concrete.

hook the PC up to the tubing and test it out.

Common misconception with cement.  Cement doesn't dry, it cures.  When it does this, it heats up which in turns evaporates the water.  It's a chemical process and will happen even if it is moving.  Eventually it will harden albeit not very strong due to many factors.
