I Scammed Myself on eBay - $300 Mystery Crate

[AlexTheGreatish]

Looking to get a deal on eBay, Linus purchased an assorted box of high end components. It didn't go well.

 

Buy an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU: https://geni.us/ZApWp

Buy an ASRock Z790 Taichi Lite Motherboard: https://lmg.gg/F4H6p

Buy an NZXT H6 Flow Dual-Chamber Mid-Tower Case: https://lmg.gg/kCDuu

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

Fun fact, those rezerators like in the video are quite popular for people who have a small lasercutter that needs to be watercooled.

 

Since they are a all in 1 solution, they are easy to use and quick to install [if they are clean]

Instead of making these I bought a bag of trash videos why not make an genuine budget water cooling video? $350 should be enough for a none janky setup.

 

 

Btw. If somebody wonders what the price tag on the custom copper GPU RAM-cooler would be? approx. $200 (Canadian company would probably quote somewhere closer to USD 500). [CAD work, printed prototype and milled copper deliverable).

*cut to buying the guy's store*

 

Stay classy, Linus.

I am still kind of disappointed why we steered off from the external cooling solutions. I give that they weren't "elegant" solutions and there was certain problems with them and back then liquid cooling itself was exotic already. But considering todays power requirements and cooling needs, I would say stuff like Zalman Reserator and Alphacool Eiswand could actually make a comeback, especially if the cooling requirements keep getting crazier and people notice the 4-slot GPU is just idiotic and you could just as well use one PCIe IO cutout to get tubes out and so remove the space restrictions from the cooler (thou that would need a company to use actually good quick connectors and not the cheapest designs they can find, as it seems to be the PC company goal these days when it comes to connectors).

"Kludgey hardware tinkering with Alex and Linus" is my favorite LTT not-quite-a-series. (Call it "New Janky Workshop".)

External liquid cooling should be a thing again. 

 

All the radiators internally in the case actually is kind of stupid if you do water cooling.

Especially stupid considering option for longer runs and dumping heat outside of the room.

Although Thermaltake have something a little like that - Core P200 which is a pedestal designed for mounting radiators, pumps and PSU.
