    Making a submersible PC has a lot of challenges, but also a lot of potential benefits. Namely COOLING! Sticking this in a 17c pond should yield impressive results... let's find out.
    But thanks to ASUS for sponsoring this build, and for the various manufactures for sending over the hardware:

    As a licensed plumber, I've always wanted to build a PC with a water cooled system integrated with a homes potable water plumbing system. We could build a loop in the homes cold water system and use a recirculation pump to displace the heat of the PC among the entire plumbing system 👀 I guarantee it would work

    Hello, plumber here! Note on the soldering of the outer piping: you used the wring kind of joints. These have a rubber inside of them, which won’t take kindly to tho soldering process. I’m sure you’ll fare much better with joints that are meant to be soldered with.
    Some tips if you’re interested:
    -ensure enough ventilation
    -Make sure theres no dirt on the pipes
    -make sure to use sandpaper on the bits that will be soldered
    -after that use some flux (s-39 will do great) to cover the surfaces that are to be soldered.
    -after assembly, make sure you heat both parts about equally
    -the tip of you flame is the hottest
    -if the joints are at the correct temperature, the solder will be pulled in the joint. Just touch one spot, the flux will pull it in. Stop when you can see solder all around the pipe. I always leave a little droplet underneath (assuming your weld is horizontal) as proof that it’s full.
    -i know it sounds obvious, but do not any part of the project with your hands when heated. It’s all hot

    Another great way to prevent a leak would be to have the inside be pressurized slightly.
    If there is a leak, you will have air leaking out instead of water leaking in, and you can have a pressure sensor that warns if the pressure is going too low

    I think this would make a lot more sense with copper gaskets, and an electrically neutral medium or an electrically neutral coating to prevent corrosion, and a positive interior pressure which would help reduce buoyancy and a sealed top so if there is a leak, the natural buoyancy of the system will prevent liquid from entering. Beyond that, this is genuinely incredibly cool. When its got the yellow and dark blue lights going (yellow rim, blue interior) it has a weird aesthetic resembling some of the real quantum computers I've managed to see. Quite surreal.

    Just my 2 Cents.
    You could add a hygrometer and dehumidifier packs.
    If you closed up the PC in 24°C with 50% Air Humidity, you'll get condensation at around 12°C. Meaning you will have water inside at Fall and Winter.
    Also you could add a way to increase the Air Pressure inside the capsule, like 1.2 bars. That will help against water ingress.

    One mistake in the video: at around 14:42 you mention that you don't see any bubbles coming out of the enclosure so it must not be leaking. However you would never see bubbles with a setup like this, even if it was leaking. Because the pipe on top already provides a way for the air to be displaced/escape and water to get into the enclosure. This basically means there is no need for air to get out of the enclosure where the leak is, for water to replace it.

    Love the steampunk aesthetic of the copper and "crystal" (aka acrylic) parts, such a beautiful build. And I'm also seriously in love with the laptop, what a fantastic pair of machines they are! Keep up the Perks! Oh and PS: You could alway have put a tube down the main cable entry, filled it with sealant, and added a small aquarium air pump to maintain positive pressure within the chamber, that way leaks would have been evident by bubbles but being positive pressure inside the components wouldn't have been at risk.

    You never fail to amaze me. :)
    A tip from a blacksmith and machinist:
    If you put a wet rag around solder joints that are close to the thing you want to solder, it won't de-solder and cause a mess of running solder. The recipe for a good solder joint is to clean everything thoroughly as in "A surgeon could operate on the surfaces" clean, then apply flux. Apply heat to the two materials taking into account that the larger piece will draw a lot of heat away. Then carefully "probe" the material with the solder to see if the temperature is hot enough...proceed to solder by letting the solder "wick" into the joint. Work the flame around and let it do the job of soldering your joint fully. Clean...and enjoy your work. ;)

    • @oliverdots
      @oliverdots Před 9 měsíci +1

      The wires into the PC can be sealed to maker the vessel pressure tight. The pressure at the moment is outside pushing in. Having pressure inside the vessel makes perfect sense to keep water out. That's how asbestos masks work, higher pressure inside so particles can NEVER enter the mask. Sinking the vessel deeper just addes to the outside pressure trying to force water in. The gaskets are relying on the top and bottome plate being tight. Nothing to do with inside or outside pressure. As I said, Having an inside pressure will help neautralise the outside pressure. A small soda stream CO2 canister via a reducer will keep a constant controlled pressure. If you see air bubbles in the pond, you know there is a leak way before water ever enters the vessel.

    The ultimate touch grass or literally touch WATER PC. Perfection and unironically seriously an amazing achievement with what looks like a greatly satisfying design!

    IMO, this was one of the most unique and artistic hardware pieces you have built.

    There is a simple little water leak detector that's made for going under water heaters or in basements and cellers. You could install one at the bottom to get an instant audible alert on the first sign of leakage. Moreover, if you wanted to be really fancy... take that same alert signal run it thru an arduino or similar programable logic controller that triggers your pulley system to pull the computer out of the water.

    Just a suggestion. I would put some kind of water proof barrier on the top where the cables come through. I can just imagine a medium sized bird or a stick landing on this and it’s curtains. Awesome video as always!

    Keeping a 4090 at 41C is quite a feat. I've got the MSI Suprim Liquid X, and with a 240mm block it still gets pretty toasty (approx 60C) with certain games like Cyberpunk or Starfield.
