Hey justin why are you everywhere
Alex, a mechanical engineer: We'll just tilt the laptop so the water just falls away from the motherboard
"Brilliant"
sounds legit
As an engineer (albeit software,) I can confirm that this is standard. All we do is make things work, for as long as they need to work, using the tools we have available. As long as it cools the computer for the duration of the test (and doesn't damage anything,) then mission accomplished! They're probably just gonna throw it out afterward, anyway. No point in wasting engineering time (which is generally quite valuable,) on fixing a problem that doesn't need to be fixed :)
@@anexesstormlord7193 you're definetly not a German engineer 🤣
@@Xc31 I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but at no point did I say my work is shoddy. Getting new tubing or a new fitting would involve hours, if not days, of waiting, just to fix a problem that will never happen again after this one test. Fixing it is a huge waste of time and doesn't affect the outcome in the slightest. If they were selling the setup, or planned to use it again, it should absolutely be fixed permanently.

oh shit, that me
Oof which laptop is it
@@No__18 alienware area 51M, R1, basicaly they made a BIOS that completly fuck up the laptop, you have no idea
have you tried disabling intel speedstep? It was killing the performance of my inspiron. Whenever the mx150 reached 63°C, the clock would drop to like 400MHz and it happened a few times per second. Now the temperature stays at 83°C and the clock is very stable
it also caused the battery to slowly discharge when gaming because dell couldn't make a power supply big enough for the laptop
I have an asus strix iii and new bios also doesn't let me undervolt it, just downgrade bios to the last one you want and don't ever upgrade again m8

“Did you check for leaks” as it’s in the $5000 laptop lmao!!! 😂

Ice water next!

Have some Wang.
If the temps were that good I wish they at least tried overlocking.
when you want something to fail. you dont do extra.
i hope they see this comment to do a revisit on that 350usd investment hahahha
The CPU and GPU would boost for longer probably negating any gains you may get from overclocking

“I have a really good solution for this. We just tilt it a bit, and the water falls right out of the laptop.”
“Brilliant!”
Modern problems require modern solutions.
I feel bad for people who bought that laptop for its “upgradability” and then intel changes the entire socket and then adds an extra ++
the desktop is more upgradeable when you think about it
The Screem Regular I know but the upgradability was the main selling point of that laptop. Thats why its a big feels bad man
I don't feel bad for people who buy $4000 gaming laptops. Diminishing returns, and all.
When installing screws a good rule of thumb for tension if you do not have a torque screwdriver is to thread them in until they squeak, strip, then back them off a half turn. I've shared this tech tip with countless competitors.
How to damage a computer
I always want these random dumb things to some how end up being super effective.
This is super effective. Linus is shitting on it because it only stopped a tiny bit of thermal throttling when the CPU smashed into the 99c limit in their 21c office after running a single benchmark
Put this laptop in a 30c room and run it hard for a couple of hours and all of a sudden the underclock is significant and this cooling system with quick disconnects makes a ton of sense
Linus: Software/Hardware Sponsors

HYPER O bro wth just skip
Manscaped: am I a joke to you ?
Who Cares about the sponsor xD
Alex: "Computers are stupid."
I feel this in my heart.
Ok.
Says the guy that spreads out thermal paste like that.
As an Alienware owner the hairs on my arms are standing up. This is suicidally risky
I love that this is so insane and I have one of these on my desk right now configured like this and I have never had a thermal issue or thought it needed more cooling... but watching them is just too good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The worst part of videos is usually the ads/sponsorships, ironically, Linus found a way to make them one of the most entertaining part of the video. The way he stays in character and keeps the same tone/energy while transitioning to his sponsorships, combined with the perfect timing, makes for some great comedy
3:15 I love how linus never knows how much he pays for Things until they shoot the video
Because "he" doesn't, the company does. This channel is LMG, hosted by Linus. Not a channel produced by Linus.
because 400$ is just a penny in one video. that's why other channel destroying new iphone, because youtube pays back in ads
I got the Austin Evans vibes with that reaction
His wife probably knows more given she handles finances. Linus is just the host and writer, albeit also their boss.
They separated finances from video scripting / editing to avoid advertizers having influence over content, so it makes sense.

the "how many of you want to hear about our sponsor?" got me so offguard
The laptop turning on when Linus hits the desk at 10:45 was very satisfying.
Linus : Empties his water cooling next to a red camera of tens of thousands $
"Should probably get a bucket" he says. Proceeds to empty water onto table instead of placing object in bucket and then draining.
That smooth transition to the sponsor got me to download the app... DaMN YOU LINUS!!
Would never buy a 4k laptop but super cool to see my desktop condensed down that small and running twice as hot. Great video
Gamers Nexus: We have an excel spreadsheet that lists all the steps in our methodology and people that are verified to carry out the test to ensure best possible consistency and limit unwanted variables.
LTT: I think we used this thermal paste last time.
I think this is mostly the difference between "tech news and entertainment" and "tech news and in depth reviews".
I feel like they're not really comparable statements though. This isn't a review to help people make a buying decision. It's a fun piece testing if unique hardware actually works. And it did that just fine.
@@nobodyimportant8778 I agree. It is a fun piece of content and I used the opportunity to make a joke 😉
Linus: - "I'm not getting a 50K robot dog"
Also Linus: watercools a 50K Red camera!
His camera powers his $million+ business. A robot dog would be good for only a couple videos.
I had a G7 with a 2070 that I retuned and now have 2 Alienware M17s with a 2070 and 2080. All of these, once they throttle a for a certain duration, will stay throttled an undetermined amount of time. Temps can drop back to normal but the throttling persists. Sometimes they un-throttle on their own, sometimes resetting the GPU works. Rebooting always works. I use Afterburner to limit voltage and they never throttle now. I only see a few FPS lost but gameplay is amazingly consistent now.
The waters just going to fall out of the laptop lol not a commonly heard sentence
He got a room full of industrial Equipment but no torque screwdriver...
yeah i said that too when he said he was gonna hand screw it. I have a feeling it prob might not be the product but the 2 idiots putting it together fault.

10:45 - I'm impressed nobody talks about how good the timing here was

@@lorenzomeza6262 I was in tears. That legit upset me. My day is ruined!
There's been tests done using Plexiglas so you can see how the paste spreads, and that's like the second worst way to spread it (and it was like the worst I've ever seen anyone use that method). You want to do a big enough pea sized blob to have enough to cover the chip, right in the center, and use the force of the metal plate evenly on it to squish it out and it'll spread perfectly with no air bubbles and spread really consistently.
I'm go puke up in my bathroom now.
*The Verge flashback intensifies*
@@DaftFader That works if you can trust the mounting pressure, which you can't in this case.
@@ThePandafriend I'll always press down gently and hold if there's a lack of mounting force. The issue then though becomes one not of the application method, but of the bracket it's self causing a lack of contact. Two distinct different problems (all be it with the same end result of poor heat transfer).

You know I can't help but feel some of these "odd" products are Chinese engineering students school projects. LOL!. :)
thew transition into the sponsorship was the smoothest ever
Here is why this thing exist. Not every laptop have a good original thermal design like Alienware's. And that's why aftermarket thermal design for laptop exist in China. On some poorly designed laptop, you can get better thermal performance by just solder additional heatpipes onto original module. So the target of this kind of product is some midrange gaming laptops where the performance is bounded by thermals.
I have a MSI GE laptop and adding water loops increases the performance by roughly 20%. You can install a quick releases on the loop so you can unplug the pipe and carry the laptop away without worrying about leaking and stuff. It's actually make sense.
And they didn't cost $600, it must be shipping or/and Alienware tax. Mine cost around $200.
Did you diy the water loop or the loop comes in full set and it is bolt ons. I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my laptop
