  • @ianvisser7899
    @ianvisser7899 Před rokem +488

    If you were wondering why Linus was hesitant to use liquid metal on it, it's because they had planned for the chiller and liquid metal aint so liquidy when the temperature drops... Hence DerBauer made Kryonaut with thermal grizzly, which is formulated for sub-zero cooling, because it can operate at extremely low temperatures (-250C), which Conductonaut has a minimum operating temperature of 10C, which that chiller can blast past.

    • @mckidney1
      @mckidney1 Před rokem +3

      I am not wondering that and I think you are just assuming. Your argument boils down to LM having bigger delta than 35C. The Occam's razor suggest Linus is just playing it up as this series already set a PC on fire.

      @@archismarathe1589 Idk about 250, but we are talking about a product that works for LN2 and that is around -200C. But that is the point, LN2 intentionally overpowers the capacity of the entire system and changes the material properties. Chilled air or chilled water has a different purpose - it compensates for resistance by increasing the delta. You can often see chillers and LN2 together in PC content, but that is not because they are similar. Rather the audience is similar :)

    • @thethubbedone

    You need to add a pressure bypass valve on the chiller output. Doesn't have to be fancy. A simple spring-loaded unit will work fine so long as it's an adjustable type. It'll keep flow going to the CPU block, but bleed excess pressure back to the chiller return. That way you won't have to worry about overpressure killing gaskets or blowing out a water block seal. Easier on the chiller, too. It's funny watching you scramble when water sprays everywhere, but the building & operations manager in me winces every time it happens

    Hi linus and team , great job . Although let me tell u guys something, i work as a engineer on uk , sorting water loops and systems to power plants, pharmaceutical companies as well aeronautics. I believe you should get some control of your water there specially with all that copper laying around . I advise you to get a softener that later you can use for ur appliances and if you can an ro will be perfect as you will get water around 10uS (micro siemens) not being to corrosive . If you cant get an ro just remove the hardness of the water with the softener and they hook up a small mix bed to remove the contamination ❤

Instead, they just turn it into one big reckless joke. Sure, it's fun a few times, but now it has just gotten boring and I don't see the reason to do that in a video where you're essentially promoting a product which people will use on their 600$ cpu's.

      Having more SKUs to deal with drives up the price due to needing to support more configurations with more inventory.

    (gonna add something onto this. the heatspreader removal is most likely by EK moreso than derb8auer. simply because he has his own tool meant for 12th and 13th gen, and its different than the one EK includes. it also works better, proven by jayztwocents when he used the same direct-die cooler and heatspreader removal tool for his most recent (RIP) all-EVGA build.)
