Computer liquid cooling is made with a complicated manufacturing process. Skiving machines are needed to make the microfins in coldplates, CNCs are used for custom radiator mounting work or heatsink prototyping, manual work is needed for pump and tube assembly, and multi-hour burn-in tests are required to ensure the products pass quality control. Leak testing is also done to try and isolate any leaking liquid coolers prior to release to public, with special air leak testing machines used for this process.

Pls go to Gigabite and do a laptop video, How It's Made did one and they crammed it down into 5 minutes.
It's aweful czcams.com/video/O9vO_CVNXlg/video.html
Propylene Glycol....So i can vape heatsinks? Awesome!
So, after seeing how this stuff is made, i still have no clue why there are/were air bubbles inside both of my NZXT Kraken X62.
I can shake my radiator and hear a big air bubble bubbling. The first X62 had the pump die, it ran dry because i had the radiator front mounted in the (last gen) Corsair 750D, which means the radiator was lower than the pump. ALWAYS make sure to install the radiator above the pump (top mount it if you need to), just in case there is air inside, the air collects at the highest point and if that is the pump you'll have a dry and soon a dead pump).
@@ZeroB4NG Quality control isnt always perfect.
Or age of unit maybe? (i wont pretend to know if old-new stock can loose liquid, through tempreature variables, or if its just down to years of use)
First off I want to say these are awesome videos, thanks for making them Andrew/Steve. I gotta ask though, do these factories seem to offer tours on a daily basis? Especially ones that produce for multiple aftermarket manufacturers. I could understand if these factories are trying to secure large contracts, but not really for mid-sized CZcams channels (no offense intended).
I enjoy these videos, and I hope you continue to make them in the future when you are over there. I got a laugh watching Andrew initially failing to break the glass in the "Tempered Glass Cases" video. Being more worried about the worst case scenario where the glass lands. I wouldn't of tried picking up the pieces as you did though ;) .
P.S. And also @AddisonMartin 's has a great question about factory tours affecting your future judgment of reviewing future products from those companies?
Seeing how manual this process was makes it a lot easier to understand why some AOIs are so expensive.
I'm an aerospace engineer and CNC machinist. I do most of my work in systems of manufacturing, finding ways to manufacture things safer, cheaper, whatever I'm asked for.
And to my knowledge, I have never seen a skiving machine. I've heard of it, but never actually knew what it was, let alone how it worked. Thanks GN, you made me better at my job!
They would surely be faster to produce the cold plates using some kind of sinker EDM or micro milling?
Jake Scollay Exactly, the skiving machine is designed for only skived parts
Ask GN: How will all these awesome factory tours affect your judgement when reviewing new products going forward? Do you think you'll be able to give us consumers a more fair and in depth review?
Great question. We're filming another one of these in the next 7 days sometime, will add this one.
I am just guessing here, but i believe GN can make use of their gained knowledge to give us a better picture when a product is qualitative better than the other, on things our untrained eye can't see.
The next Ask GN will answer this question!
Fake news? :D
Those CNC machines are absolutely incredible...and the manual labor involved? Wow...And I just bought an AIO today and to think of the manufacturing processes done half way around the world delivered to a retail shelf in Best Buy here in Austin just blows my mind...even the screw hopper was designed specifically for dispensing one at a time...
Maybe it's because I'm an engineer but I was impressed to see Deep Cool record dry and wet mass for each cooler. Well done!
Great appreciation for this video, and even greater appreciation for factory workers that make AIOs available at reasonable prices in the US.
Yeah, I think it's unfair the amount they get paid, sure it's cheap labour - but without them, these products wouldn't get made
I appreciate the Gamners Nexus crew being mature adn not wasting the time of others w/ jokes and foolishness.
As if scam & spam emails aren't enough to deal with and filter out on a daily basis.
Absolutely LOVING the "How It's Manufactured" series going on so far!
Yes the "how it's made" feeling is almost nostalgic for me. shame discovery channel has changed these days.
Seeing these factory tours helps me to better understand the PC products I buy.
Its true what you say about companies not making their own parts. I worked at a car manufacturing plant and the only thing they actually made was the engine block. About a hundred other company names on the parts list
Thank you for not making April fool's joke video.
What's wrong with a bit of fun?
SKIGZ
It's too much already..
You don't need to follow the herd.
Yep, if he's doing their work as possible,
Seriously
it was 02.04 not 01.04
Kudo to Andrew for braving the 60 C oven to film it for us!
The nerd in me is thoroughly impressed by these videos.
These tours and looks at the manufacturing process are great. I hope you guys continue with this kind of content.
Respect to deepcool for doing quality control seriously and surely that their is no problem
You should ask thermal grizzly for a tour.
I'd love to see how thermal paste is made
This ^
I guess relatively boring. Maybe something like putting all ingredients in a mixer, pulling tht stuff to a "bottling" station and you're done. But it could be completely different and interesting aswell!
Youll see a big warehouse full of bears and very brave workers jacking the bears off to obtain the super awesome thermal paste
@Mike Magno You're a man with taste! good thermal grizzly reference! :D
Yes, awesome Idea. I want to know exactly how get the grizzly bears into the paste.
These videos remind me of the old Discovery Channel Show, "How It's Made."
I loved that show!
They still make it i thought.
It's also on the Science Channel, and they're still producing episodes of How It's Made today.
@@mynintendogamingfeed5208 I don't pay for Cable TV, so I wouldn't have known that. Good looking out My Nintendo Gaming Feed.
I have to admit. These videos are giving me a whole new perspective. Seeing how slow and maticolous making water and aircoolers is, its amazing hoe cheap they actually are. Kudos to those workers probably not earning even a 20th of what i earn a month an doing such a repetitive job
Just got my Raglan hoodie and I love it! Really a quality hoodie, and looks great. I’ve already had 2 people ask me about it and now I’m spreading the word of our Lord and Savior, Tech Jesus ❤️ thanks for all the awesome content!
So glad to hear that! Thank you. We really like the way that one came out. Very cool the way the two-tone colors play off each other.
Just ordered a DeepCool AIO and this certainly gives me confidence in the products.
This is pretty amazing, actually. Much more labor intensive than I expected.
>shakes fist< I was set up for failure!
Subscribed >shakes fist harder< 😂
You have best tech channel, along with Linus. You guys are my go to for stuff. You, Steve...for actual stuff I need for my tech needs, like actual stuff I think people need to make. Like x8 vs x16 pcie explanation, delidding, and I really like your graphs with comparable devices/models. So you can compare before buying. Thanks man, keep doing your videos, you make exactly what some people (like me) need
I can't get enough of these factory tours GN does. Great work!
Looks like fun, the factory tours are really cool. I ran coolant filling station on an assembly line for a short while and love factories.
GN, this is the content I love, now a word about vacuum filling the all in ones. I work as a automotive mechanic and we use vacuum filling adapters to fill automotive coolant systems, it's extremely beneficial as you not stuck with a air pocket in the system that could cause overheating or no coolant flow in the system and you can imagine how complex the water passages in an engine can be. Just a quick easy and near foolproof method to fill a cooling system and not new.
It's really cool to see inside the factories bringing us these products. Great work and content as expected, please continue to feature more ;).
Cpt.Leaking reporting for duty!
Keep going with this series, been loving the factory tours.
Great Job Steve aka Tech Jesus. And super thanks to Deep Cool and CoolerMaster for these interesting tours
Love this channel for their informative and analytical contents. Good wishes for Steve and Co.
I have a DEEPCOOL Captain 240PRO and I am really happy with it!! It's awesome to see how it was made.
Well done sir. Well done. This was exactly what I hoped it'd be.
Thank you Steve for such a great video. Its nice to be able to know how this is done.
Cool tour, enjoyed all the detail and QC 😉✌️
Proud to own my Captain 240EX. Cool tour. Thanks
When Steve builds a Golden sample AIO and gets it shipped home to test. Loved the video thanks Steve and Team.
Very interesting. I love your factory tours. Well done
I love these videos. Great work
wow u did a great job of explaining how its done u must be the best for sure!
excellent, had no idea how much actual hands on time was used in the assemble and testing of these types of products
was awesome to know how they create modern microfins.
These are a lot of fun and educational. Keep it up!
I liked the automated screw feeder into magnetic screwdriver.
The gaskets are real pain to fit in comparison to other components. I'd expect tool assistance there, but nope.
I use a similar method for "open" loop leak checking nowadays - using a small air compressor. It does not fully replace run test as motor is not engaged and that could leak too while operating only.
But it excels at catching small leaks from fittings and orings that could take days of run test to cause problems.
Very cool. I have the Deepcool Captain 240 ex RGB and love it
Fun video. Reminds me of the old Soviet Union videos on building tractors. I can only imagine that referring to people as "workers" and not taking the time to learn the individuals names will seem very insensitive. Would have liked it so much more if each person was identified.
This content is freaking awesome! I hesitated to buy modmat but I would love to support you. Ordered.
loving these videos, i would love to see more.
Man great footage. Thank you.
I own one of those deep cool aios had it for a long time works great
Interesting to see how much cheaper the deepcool AIO's are compared to most other manufacturers with such little automation. I guess Asetek liscense fees are pretty insane.
DarkLordDylan I personally find the deep cool aios to look like some effort and thought was put into the design.
Cursed Owls Gaming Yeah, I like them. But there's a lot of manpower required to make them and they're more affordable than pretty much all other brands is all I'm saying.
DarkLordDylan to me that says more about the mark up on the other units
Awesome video, sometimes I forget that someone has to assembly these.
love these tours
Woah guys, forgive the pun, but that was so cool. It's crazy (and reassuring) how many times it goes through quality control stages to ensure that its acceptable and wont dump its contents on our BIG AMERICAN COMPUTING MACHINES. Love your content and loving these tours! Hope to see more and thank you Steve and the Gamers Nexus team!
Very well done, thanks!
Love this kind of stuff thanks
Been using Deep Cool for all I know in terms of their Air Cooler line-up, but I'm fairly new to Liquid Cooling so I'm intrigue to their claim of the leak proof radiator, can't wait for your in-depth review of it.
Three plus QA checks(including a non tolerance final test) and products mostly assembled by hand, that's a product I could get behind and have pride in, even if its made in china.
Any chance you guys would stop at an EK/wb factory?
This is like a how it's made, but with way less cringy jokes and twice the frame rate.
I guess you could say this is a pretty "cool" process.
@@BladeScraper Probably even "cooler".
Dr_Kachu san I’m sure there’s more like this in the....“pipe” line. Pipe?? Geddit?!? Cooling heat PIPES?!? Oh, they’ve really stepped up to the....”plate” with this content? Eh? EH?!? Copper cold PLATES?!? See what I did there? And I suppose you could say these puns are really....”shit”? As in SHIT? Geddit?
Very nice "doc" been wondering about how most of these components/parts are made.
Another great video. I didn't know these heat sinks and microchannels were made through skiving. This is really interesting. I wonder if they apply any surface treatment to the finished microchannels.
Anyone else cringe at 8:21? Worker was under to much pressure in front of the camera hahaha. Keep em coming, love these videos.
if you're old enough or was fortunate to have the re-runs play when you were growing up - these factory videos remind me of Mister Rogers when they would show production lines for different items. If you put some Rogers-esque music over the video instead of the voice-over you'd have ASMR gold ;)
Very interesting, well done video.
Hope he keep it up on this, as these viewers had to educate themselves seriously
I do want to see a factory tour in japan, shall we?
Ahh 'Skiving' takes me back to my school days (aka 'bunking off' in the southwest of the U.K) ;-)
great vid! thanks!
Thank you
Wow super bro . Pls upload cpu making video
TeamGN knows what's up
Oil and Gas companies and studio companies like PRG (who are hush hush about a lot of their stuff) use companies like deep cool, noctua and coolermaster for heatsinks and cooling solutions.
It's much like some of the PCB board printers for ASUS and MSI also produce ECUs for car manufacturers or motor controls.
Thanks man, found this one very interesting :D... lol that crazy bastard going in the oven though :/
Either Cooler Master wanted you to think they're the most established in the industry or Cooler Master is most the established in the industry.
Cooler master is the OEM for a lot of the industry, so really their an oem with a house brand not a brand.
I have a Deep Cool AIO. It works pretty damn well.
what a documentary video from Gamers Nexus.. not just review... well done Gamers Nexus !
Deepcool has some of the most underrated products. Waiting for them to drop some Crown Fans in 12V RGB
I have deep cool castle 360rgb cooler, it is pretty good.
i'm happy with my coolermaster aio, got a good deal on it too under 100 bucks
that radiator is large though, so i gotta get a real case
big backpack + 2 pony tail. im in love
So cool!
Awesome.
GN, at 0:14 your backpack reminds me of high school with my backpack stuffed with books looking like a turtle shell...
Cool video
Many tests!
CHEERS GAMERS NEXUS!
I work at a cardboard factory in the UK and here them big rolls of paper are not allowed anywhere near people or the machine, they are stored in a separate room that only the clamp truck(with driver in it) can enter. if one got a knock you would have domino effect with multi tonne rolls of paper rolling all over the place.
Indiana Jones intensifies
I'm surprised that cross-threading isn't an issue at 6:20 The self-tapping screws holding the plastic casing together would be fine, but those little screws holding the cold plate look like a nightmare.
Awesome videos. Thermal paste next??? :)
thanks
Skiving machine is just insane, wonder who came up with the concept
My Enermax 360 White AIO over 2.5 years has not faired well. Fans were replaced at 1000 hours of use. It's suffered enough permeation that its sitting sideways for the air bubbles. Temps around 45-50c at idle. Instead of buying a 5800x3d for my AM4. I'm now having to buy a new AIO for a white build in a o11d. Availability is in the dumpster.
02:20 My OCD is triggering on that monitor plastic cover... I GOT TO PEEL IT!!
I have a cooler master aio. Cool to know what went into making it
Yep, I have one from DeepCool, awesome to see how it was made
I think it would be a good idea to test the difference between cold plate that was made with skiving and the one that has been simply cut.
There are cheap liquid cooling parts that are made with simple cutting.
Quality content
Great video as always. What I'd really like know though is how well the Gamer Storm CLCs, Captain Pro V2 and V1 as well as the Castle 280 and 240 EX, perform compared to the top CLCs in the bigger lists that you have the Liquid Freezer II and EVGA 360 and such....oh your live. switching over. Damn that was 5 hours ago.
such a relief that we don't have to dig thru dirt to find the stuff to make those... that's been going on for a few thousand years, right? last week I looked thru my scrap pile and by the end of the day I made a brand new axe/hatchet.
Don't make april fool fools day. just do the right thing.
Yeah I don't find april fools day funny at all. Just silly.
@@megapet777 I dunno, considering GN's previous sketches, like the vacuum video, I was kinda hoping for more in that vein. They're a funny bunch. =)
jubuttib I guess most people likes april fools jokes, but I find them kinda boring. And some tech channels likes to make the video beliavable so you think some great tech is coming but its just a joke.
Nice to see how my cpu cooler was made. they make them to last.
Boyyyy those switches at 11:39 mess with my ocd.
I'm kinda surprised the skiving machines only do a skinny finstack line.
It'd be *massively* faster if the cutting wedge was 2ft wide, and the copper plate had grooves through it where the fins weren't needed. (The raised area left between the grooves would be turned into fins)
With this method they would only need to change the width and spacing of the grooves for different kinds of coldplates. (Threadripper for example)
But perhaps there's good reasoning why they only do one long lane of fins at a time. Most likely due to flex in the material, which would result in imperfect fins.
