I was thinking that the shape of the pipes could be improved. There should be more surface above the fans but not too much to obstruct the air flow. The project is great. Unfortunately, I don't have the mechanical skills to build it but it really gave me cool ideas. How about having a sensor that checks the laptop temp and then controls the pump. Hotter it is, the faster is the cooling system.
That’s so awesome! Would be interesting to know what the difference in average fps is over a gaming session. Minus 20 degrees is sooo good for the longevity of the cpu and gpu though.
I couldn’t believe how well it worked I was playing warzone after and I think the FPS was better. I could do with running a average recording of FPS and temps while gaming
I haven’t noticed any moisture on the pipes yet. I have on the tank but on the pipes because of the six fans constantly blowing I don’t think they have a chance to gain moisture.
Probably all the condensed water from the environment gets evaporated by the heat, this is good news tho, since evaporation is an endothermal process and absorbs heat from the pipes
Nicely done bud. Kinda surprised no one really markets any water cooled laptop pads, even though laptops are designed for mobile use as opposed to a desktop. Still would be cool though; no pun intended. I’m currently using the Klim mistral with my 17.3” Dell G7, recently decided to re-enable turbo mode and decided to configure some settings just wish I could get the temps down a bit to an area I’d be satisfied with. Was thinking of rigging up some air ducting to the air intake ports and trying out one of those “Arctic Air” As Seen on Tv coolers lol. My cooling pad only has the two fans as opposed to your setup so I don’t think bending some copper tubing and ziptieing it inside the area the laptop rests atop of would work for my set up.
@@AshBuilt think I’m gonna do something similar to your design. Since my last comment I have returned the laptop cooler I had (the turbines started making noises only after a month) and ordered an IETS gt500 v2, however I want to see if I can get it even colder. Was contemplating getting one of those flat copper bent tubes and soldering directly to the heat pipes on my laptop, but I think I rather just try and slightly modify the laptop cooler instead for now. I’m thinking of making a copper tubing rack similar to your first design.
i think you couuld get better cooling if you put the laptop on to a copper plate ,left a air gap , and directly cooled the copper plate with 2 large fans
It would've been better if you had tested in other softwares than just Superposition, this type of mod should leave a lot of thermal headroom for the system and could benefit games a lot more.
Yeah I’m confused on this is well. It shouldn’t work without some heat pump like a Peltier cooler. Unless you were to be drawing heat from the laptop itself (if your laptop is metal like mine for ex) and just heat pumping the stuff way. But still, you’d need to have contact with the most of base and his laptop barely has any. Also your radiator would be away from the machine not under it. Shit ain’t adding up here for me
Coming in a bit late here, thanks for sharing this!💯👏 Thinking of a mod version of yours using some non-volatile, safe (as safe as the water in your steel bucket) experimental mixtures to compress, -> then decompress the ice age out of it - i.e. air sprayed - into the pipes (basically it's still an AC principle but in a novel, non-closed-circuit) ...though I still haven't figured out what or how to make safe "kitchen stuffs" to stay at that airy decompression state all the way out the other end - that'd be a eureka moment lol. But should I succeed, here's a problem: I live in the hot n wet tropics, no AC. Any attempt to cool stuffs _will_ dew the hell out of anything☔ hhh... thoughts on both ideas and issues, anyone?
I think if you hand a fully inclosed system like a car radiator system you could reduce the moisture build up. With the high air flow and warm temps of the laptop I don’t think you’d have much moisture build up.
Nice video mate. Might want to get a seringe and fill the tube with water to prime the lines, prime the pump alone as well, then connect it all up and should save you some time mate...nicely done.
I dont understand how it’s cold. But man thats awesome. No water droplets are being sent into the laptop right? Condensation on the pipes and then being blown in would be terrible. Great viedo, I subscribed.
It would be good if somehow it could be connected to the heat sink but I'm not sure that's possible on a laptop. The idea is to cool the air down as much as possible going into the laptop to then help reduce the temps.
@@AshBuilthopefully you read this. Thinking about doing this myself. Somehow I got a driver update that uncapped performance ceiling. So now gpu will run to the moon. Overheating is only issue.

Go tirect from tank to cpu or gpu. The loop you design will bring temp back up to ember temperature. You loss out on your tank idea. Water warm before it get to the system. No bad words. Just being logical. God bless you. Mick Australia
Hello sorry for the delayed response. The copper pipe is 3/16 and I got a real of 25ft. It’s the same stuff used on cars.

at first i thought it was a grill and that i clicked on the wrong video and was about to watch a cooking show. XD now in hindsight, i think a better idea is just adding more heatsink on the laptop itself, then buying a separate backplate and cut a hole on that new backplate to fit 2 or 3 120mm fans blowing directly at it..
It is great job but not able to take it out side ok i build one you taking it any where you even have it on my lap working blow lot of cool air in my laptop
this is awesome, but can see a major potential improvement. the coil spring inside the tank is kind of useless as we are using water from tank to circulate inside pipe anyway so no need of extra pipe there. just feed in the cold water from bottom of tank and release hot water at the top. this will improve the flow, less stress on pump as well as reduce cost of copper pipe
I think that you need reroute pipes abit on a cooler pad ...i think lines need to be placed that most of them will be sitting over the fans it should increase cold air flow
This is not adding up. The thermodynamics ain’t making sense because the thermal mass is already room temperature to begin with, so without an initial temperature differential, how is this just magically losing heat? It’s been a year or more since I’ve taken thermo but I’m not seeing how this is possible
I am just worried that that the condensation will take place on the copper pipes and the fans will bow moist air. That might damage laptop components in the long run. (Water damage is a bitch).
I did think this yes but after it’s running the pipes get fairly warm so condensation doesn’t get a chance to sit on the pipes. With all fans running permanently we’re pretty safe…. I hope
I turned off the turbo in my Acer nitro 5 by putting the CPU on 99% performance in the powerplan so the CPU is like on 60C already. You should do that and then test this and see the temps. It will be even more insanely low.
@@AshBuilt I've noticed that if I turn the turbo off by keeping it at 99% and then put it on High performance in acer nitro sense then it perfectly hits the middle temps between the two peaks while giving better performance than simply turning the turbo off. Check it out.
biggest issue you got with your design is the pipe surface area/uncovered area ratios are kinda garbage. (there's a whole lot more empty space then there ought to be to get optimal cooling)
Can i get a version to buy please?? Getting all this parts in the pace i live are next to impossible. I also really need this.pls make a version for me to buy

He apparently did. That’s where the lack of thermal energy came from. I was scratching my head for days about this bc it is literally an infinite energy machine. In this case, the hidden battery was an ice pack he took out before filming (he said that in a reply to another comment).

Mate nicely done, I was wondering if this sort of a project is worth the pain. You have given me loads of ideas to go off of.
large fans running are better than small "tinny" mosquito like noise of a (usually broken or dusty) laptop fan
won't condensation build up on the pipes due to the temperature difference vs ambient and moist air blow inside the laptop?
I haven’t noticed any moisture on the pipes yet. I have on the tank but on the pipes because of the six fans constantly blowing I don’t think they have a chance to gain moisture.
Probably all the condensed water from the environment gets evaporated by the heat, this is good news tho, since evaporation is an endothermal process and absorbs heat from the pipes
How do you expect condensation under room temperature. That too when it's under a hot laptop

But there's no radiator?... The water in the tank will just heat up gradually until it reaches room temp and above.

everyone else crying about covid and this guy made this cool COOLER!
ABSOLATE MAD LAD
Got to get on haven’t i
Next would be for you is to put in custom fans that have high rpm!
Also please do check out the iets gt 500 laptop cooler 5000rpm
That iets cooler looks great but it’s very expensive. £72 pounds
@@AshBuilt oh maybe in the future you can.
this copper pipe will generate condesation, if you laptop has intake fans on the bottom it will suck all the water/humidity inside.
Agreed, put the pipes before the fans and if you want super cold air a 'bladed radiator' would feed far cooler air than pipes.

Awesome! Thinking about doing something similar. Would it get cooler with rubbing alcohol instead of water and with an air tight lid on the tank?

Thank you. I don’t see why not use whatever works for you.
Ps if loop all water before cpu would be colder.
shouldnt the fans be facing the other way so it blows the cold air inside and vents them out?
