Water Cooling… Using only Wish.com

Anytime Alex says "I have a terrible idea" you know it's gonna be fun

This truly is one of the computer builds of all time

Those light bars are meant as under counter lighting, the pig tails are for hard-wiring the lights to your house wiring. There are supposed to be plastic plugs for the exposed ends. And also an interconnect piece, so you can daisy chain the lights. They're actually very neat to install when you have all the parts.

It’s likely the rig was made by laser cutting the holes then press breaking it, that’s why the tolerances are so high

Im glad you guys are putting in all the product development and testing for us normal people thanks Linus love your videos

I bought those exact fans from amazon once for giggles, and get this: on first startup, connected to the supplied controller they PHYSICALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. The LEDs just popped with visible flame and the plastic around them started burning. It was hilarious

This is classic LTT. These two making a amazing failure of a computer. Can't stop laughing lol

15:46 I was ONCE this rough with a gpu, when a resistor went flying off of it. Luckly the solder broke on each side just so right that I could wedge it in there again and re-solder it. It's still working like nothing ever happened

All jokes aside Linus thank you for always going where no other gamers dare to go... and actually buy off wish haha

You guys have come such a long way. Videography and everything was amazing! Thanks for the content! Amazing work!

Totally love your spirit dudes! I often buy this should work things and bodge things together. If I had the money I would do computers. It is so good to see this being done.

The fact that the temps were good and it actually didn’t leak and booted up right away, bravo 😅

these are genuine and nice LTT videos, bring more videos like this back.

Keep up the good vibes Linus, very fun to watch and you definitely have the sense of it. Peace, man. 🖖🏻

I haven't had this much fun watching you guys in any other video to date! I love it! Alex must have the best job ever :P Isn't there any other shady place you can buy stuff from to make this success of a video again? Except for all the crooked metal and stuff. It actually looks pretty cool, and I hate RGB...

You should put all these items together and sell as a complete bundle for water cooling!😉

17:25 Now I just really want to see them build a pc with cooling just out of non pc stuff like the bong. Just imagine them using a storage box as a case, zip ties to fixate literally everything, garden hoes for the water eg.
Can we please get that? Just throw random stuff at the hardware until you got a selfmade pc

Alex and Linus building a pc is the most raw and authentic LTT. I love it.

I love these builds with strange questionable parts.
But i must say, this build looks great!!👍🏻

finally subscribed after years of compulsively watching. love the channel, very informative and funny. love some of the ridiculous projects y'all do like this!

25:00 - Those are for undercounter lighting / bar lighting. They daisy chain. They also have end caps you're supposed to buy to cover up the exposed AC. I had a bunch of these. They're meant for electricians to install.

I've always wanted one of those water cooling systems. lately Im new to this channel n lately alot of things I do personally I've seen done by this gentlemen and I am quite impressed with how much further he's going into his videos. don't have the budget Todo some of the things I've seen but dude I love ur channel mate

Alex: "I have a terrible idea that might fix all of our problems"
LTT tech tip Number 1

That was a very clever choice to use the shunt-modded 3090. Seeing all the crap on the card tricked me into watching the K5 and shunt mod videos, which were fascinating af

Hey Linus, you could have used a WD-40 contact cleaner to remove the thermal paste, it works great!! | Test it out in a video |

At 25:30 those wire extra for when you need to do direct wiring (without pronge) , there are another small one without wire where its used to fuse those 2 lamp right next to each other. Also these lamp are for high wall mount so that little metal exposure wont be a harzard.

I like how offering products so shit that people buy your stuff for memes is a viable business strategy.

Cannot stop laughing at this build and the commentary was next level. Do another one! Nice work fellas!

I absolutely lost it when Linus was so proud of his recently cleaned GPU, and Alex came at him with the glob of goop 😂

I love videos involving Alex. His "what-can-possibly-go-wrong"-attitude is absolutely hillarious :D

I used to wonder why Wish is still in business. Then I'm reminded that Clip-Share is literally keeping them in business. $1300! For this! Poor Linus lol

Was using this video as background noise while working on some art and all the little things I hear randomly just got me cackling enough to distract me from my work. Excellent job, guys 🤣

Wish is just the worst, but Alex and Linus watercooling anything is just the best!

The cut back to the rgb inspired rave had me absolutely creasing. One of your best videos I've seen in a while even though I missed it at launch

I saw a news item here in Perth Western Australia. There was a huge facility using an oil cooled computer system...huge industrial size stuff. Its just emerced into these giant vats. Something to look at maybe. Plus the oil never needs changing

I just can't get enough of Wish PC builds.... It's so hilarious. It's like the comedy show within the IT branch - I can't stop laughing about it :D

24:49 There’s no electrical safety standards on Ali-E either. Note: rechargeable battery devices there simply have no voltage regulation. When you plug in a USB charger expect 5VDC to go to the lithium cell. I bought 2 portable game devices to give to children and it turned out they literally never stop charging (at 5V).
They categorically refused to refund, I fought and fought for months. I explained you can’t sell fire hazards like this - do not care.

I love when linus breaks the script to compliment the writing... unless that is a part of the script

I had a similar thing with tolerances. I once ordered keyswitch seals that were around 0.1mm thick and the tolerances were +/-2mm

ive got similar fans, from amazon. they have the lights in the hub tho, not outside. those hydraulic bearings like to spew oil. paid 33 bucks for 9 of em tho
they move some air, especially full blast, and are argb and jive with rgbfusion. colors are alot more fluid thru that compared to the presets on the included fan hubs

These scuffed PC builds are my favorite LTT videos to watch. Looking forward to more!

Man, I always love these videos where Linus has to deal with absurd parts completely blind, the reactions are so much fun.

Say what you will. The Linus x Alex videos are usually the best laugh, highest quality content. The solo Anthony's are the best reviews. We need more scientist riley for the explanation cutaways. Love this studio though. Thank you for everything you do LTT.

I usually dont comment on videos but Linus and the whole crew are absolute legends. Big love from England, Friends!

I''ve got a set of coolmoon fans, same kit that was in the video. They work alright! Although i did have to replace the controller and remote because some buttons weren't working. But it was only $10

"Wish - High Qaulity"
getting something from Wish is like watching a C or D-horror movie with terrible acting, hot babes and dumb CGI. it's going to be a trainwreck for sure, but you still hope it's gonna be somewhat fun. that's why usually you watch them drunk to make the most out of them.
although I can't recommend using power tools while drunk.

Those side shots around 23:10 makes it look kinda like one of those "self love" machines that are also available on wish 😂

This is my favorite type of LTT content. These videos will always do well, keep doing them!

Fun video !! I love the wish videos reminds me of the old days piecing systems together before it was cool.

I absolutely love these videos 🤣 wish is just so jank 🤣🤦 it's literally a scam! Fun for the whole family 🤣

Thanks for the tip on alumin(i)um dust. I guess I'll start using a dust mask when I file the stuff in the process of fabricating brackets and all kinds of other bits and bobs I've made from the various shapes they sell at home supply stores. I'm contemplating whether I should sue the one that I bought all the supplies from for not having a warning sign advising me that I might not want to inhale the airborne particles that result from working with the stuff. 🤨

For removing that thermal goop, distilled water helps a lot

I was always just too scared to buy pc related things from wish. so thank you for your sacrifice lol.

Man this makes me nostalgic about water cooling in the 2000's when basically everything was cheap junk from china.

If you want to remove stickers or the paper on those fan guards ...use wd40 and after all the sticky is gone use dawn dish soup to clean off the wd40

I’m surprised that a bent radiator can hold water. And that those RGB fans actually work (Though I suspect the control software is very chinglish)

Oh christ, Coolmoon. I ordered a bunch of fans from them (200mm, I use an older case that needs three of them) that required the external controller. For starters the fans weren't the dimensions listed (too thick, I needed a 20mm thick one) and the controller stopped responding to any sort of inputs from the remote after like a month turning the RGB into a seizure-inducing flashspam. The fans themselves seem to be fine, but yeah, was not impressed. I also got one of the 120mm that you have, it's still sitting in the bottom of the case disconnected until I replace it with something better.

These are my favorite LTT videos, where you guys just over-engineer these dumb and janky build ideas, while butchering a lot of expensive stuff XD

i built my own cooling system using an old Food Cooler and cooling unit from an old freezer. it uses an electric pump (that uses less power than my PC btw) to drag the near frozen liquid from the cooler and via a tube into the water-cooling unit in my PC. and i can easily pack it up for travel as well, as i build a connector for my rig on the side of the cooler, making it quite compact and easy to move without having to dis-assemble and re-asseble it over and over again.

Usually when I watch you guys do these builds my jaw is on the floor because of some absolutely ridiculous choice you've made in the modding process (see Alex dremelling memory/vrm heat sinks)....but I have to say, when the multimeter came out for those UV lights THAT was actually the most unbelievable moment I've seen. I honestly still can't believe it. That's honestly terrifying.

Be interesting to see an Amazon built cooling setup. Bet the price would a huge difference. Lol

Thanks for the video. I often think about switching to an open frame case for my main PC.
When filming this video, can you please tell me what your ambient temp was?
Thanks.

It's crazy to me that while I learn about multi-core process scheduling, and hyperthreading, that these guys are 'internet experts' because they know the temps of random parts off wish... Cool.

All of the parts I had picked out when I was a dumb teenager and first started dreaming of building my own water-cooled rig in the late 00's. Too bad you couldn't have built it in an Antec 900 with a 5.25" water pump/fan controller and 5.25" double bay double helix res.

Kinda want to add a flow meter to my loop now. I'm not going to, but still. Also, I bought tubing from my local hardware store. They had tubing in the ID/OD combination I wanted and it was rated to 80°C, which is perfect, assuming nothing breaks on me. First attempt at a non-AIO loop
Edit: still working on it, but my cheap rad (it said copper but I see brass) is slightly crooked on the outside securing rail parts but seems fine otherwise

You know it’s going to be a pure content when Alex says “ I have a terrible idea.” It never fails.

Those UV light things.. they usually comes with plugs you put over that exposed section plus they should have adapter additionally that wire thing which you can use to combine them.. not that wire thing.

Damn I had those cool moon fans in one of my old builds. Tbh they aren't terrible I just used them for exhausts

bought the msi meg 360 aio for my 12700k, and it has a small buzzing immediately. cooler mounted top, tried everything possible. seems like it has something to do with the motor in the water pump. not really worried about it except the fact my msi force mobo shows vga light with my asus tuf 3070. although everything has been running great, benchs great, nothing even hits 70 degrees in my corsair 7000d airflow case.

I've seen some meme builds in my time but THIS takes the cake!

You know it's a good rig when you need to use powertools.

Fun fact: they sell the same horrifying light bars with exposed AC on amazon, and they even include the same terrifying wires. They include little plastic bits to jam in the end, but they don't stay in very well.

Wish is literally the last thing I would suggest for buying anything near computers.

I swear sometimes Alex really pushes his luck something severe.

This is now making me really, really wanna build a watercooled mid 00s gaming PC.

That surprised excitement when some of the items they got from wish were actually the real items xD

Tip is to use petroleum for medical usage to remove thermal goo and a lot of other sticky things.
The petroleum for medical usage doesn't leave any residuals that regular does and it evaporates as quickly as alcohol cleaning

I can’t look away from this disaster; it’s like watching a building fire. A building full of unfathomable metric tons of e-waste.

3090s last the longest in best buy drops, often still available to buy 1 hour+ after the drop started. They've also stayed in stock for DAYS after Zotac store drops.

Alex is such a great addition to your videos.

You’d think the staff at LTT build monster builds on a regular but as Alex mentions “it’s the 2nd most expensive build I’ve ever done” shows that’s they really reuse their parts well which I love! Thanks for not taking unnecessary stock guys and reusing

You really put me in a good mood..bravo to the linus team ..

Honestly ASUS you could do a whole rebrand with this. You got such a absurd great plastic personality and I can see the passion you have for this. Farming and homestead channels are pretty big rn like Urban Rescue Ranch PHYSICALLY CAUGHT ON FIREor Gold Shaw Farms. Linus has to putting the grow into CustomGrow.

I love this unscripted vlog style content from you guys! Really strikes a good balance between learning and fun entertainment. Would love to see more of this in the future!

pretty sure that's stamped sheet metal not CNC machining in that case, but still it's confusing how they messed it up that bad.

Those T5 led tube supposedly to bundled with a little cover for the other end of the unused connector, and also comes with a plug to make connections to other T5 tubes.

Linus with Alex is such a good combo.

Would Brake cleaner be good to remove the thermal gunk? its aerosol and evaps quickly and cleans well, im wondering for the electronics.

At around 23:11, the rig looks like it's supposed to be an "EMP" or similar "high-tech sciency device" in a C-grade movie.I think it's the double-helix reservoir that sells it.

Linus puts on a good act for a lot of his videos but sometimes he has genuine, real reactions every once in a while and his face at 0:26 was absolutely authentic lmao

To be honest this actually looks pretty awesome so far.

Oh the system looks like a sick movie prop, considering where it came from it has a nice tecky/industrial over the top look.

Actually freezemod does some cool stuff in China. They have like a full range solution for laptop mod water cooling (pump, res, rad and all).

Be careful with the UV light. Foreign components may use the actual harmful UV leds without warning. Check where it falls on the nanometer scale of wavelength.

As the double,helix reservoir and the flow meter wore attached, I was thinking this looks like your building some sort of scientific project like a timemachine or teleporter.

This was my favoite LTT video, and I have watched all of them the last 4 years.
From Linus cleaning the 3090 goop, all the jank components, 90's throwbacks and the rave scene.
11/10 perfection!

The thermal paste pre-*** is the best piece of Clip-Share commentary I've heard in a long time. Laughed pretty hard at that

That double helix looks like the T-Abyss Virus. I would totally do a multi-reservoir case with multiple double-helixes and make it resident evil themed.

The smiles and joy this video has brought to me is overwhelming hahahaha i love it!

K5Pro can be removed with odorless white spirits and a toothbrush if you desire to remove it. They recommend removal with a wooden stick (like a Popsicle stick) but using the guitar pick was a good choice. The company claims up to 80% of removed K5Pro can be reused.
