Salt the ice up.
It actually makes it colder, and lasts longer.
IT DOES NOT MELT ICE. IT MAKES SALT WATER AND THAT DOESNT FREEZE AS WELL, so it looks like it melts faster. It actually brings it well down below freezing. Bout 10 degrees C depending on the container
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this why people were screwing then selves up when they did the ice salt challenge
The reason salt appears to melt ice and is used on roads is because it lowers the effective freezing temperature of water. Normally this is at 0c, but because salt water freezes at a temp lower than 0c, it reverts to a liquid state until it hits that negative c temp - and is why pouring salt on ice won't work if winter temperatures are too cold.
Edit: It's about -20c for standard sodium chloride.
Crashish is actually right, salt in water brings down the melting point temperature.

Yeah but corrosion. And it would probably ruin the blocks and pump
Honestly Jayz, sometimes you remind me of what happens when a computer scientist and a garage mechanic split a case of beer and a roll of duct tape. Keep it up. Luv the content.
lmao that was a nice way of describing him. Pretty funny

Gotta love that y'all are just fighting over who gets to lose to kingpin by the least 😅
coz kingpin is kingpin and no one can beat him, he is the supreme king of overclocking.
XD
who is that kingpin guys anyway 😂
@@AeshwaryeAggarwal He is the world's best overclocker.
Kingpin doesn't really count, cuz he uses custom hardware and has EVGA's labs, workshops and engineers at his disposal. He's just there to demonstrate the performance ceiling of any given architecture. Technically even these guys like Jay, Steve, Linus or Paul don't really count cuz they get all the hardware for free, so even if they screw something up, it's not coming out of their own pockets, so they can take much bigger risks with the hardware.

It runs on water man!

Awesome
That 70’s show
The RIP series is really fun. I love watching these guys go back and forth. I am glad they are dragging it out instead of going LN₂ right from the start. Mainly because it covers the various levels of overclocking from air to water and finally LN₂.
That ending makes me want a "Jay's rambling nonsense again" compilation.
End of the year video for sure

They did it on purpose. They knew they couldn't hang with the big dogs.
Normal people trying to buy a graphics card in 2020: "Where the fck did all the 3080s and 3090s go?"
Card manufacturers: "RUclips Reviewers, how many cards do you need to review our card?" RUclips Reviewer: "Yes"
Also RUclips Reviewers: "And for my next trick, I'll show you how to build a house from the ground up using 3090s..."
yeah but actually bots
yess we agree it's so so so cheap and jay thinks he is real cool ,, no way not in this way ,, and no more words on the nvidia caps i know why ,,, if they do the lose there contracts as a reviewer !!! the caps are bad fact ,, thus the delay on 3070 ,, we are not

“Paul’s had his fun”
Cue the evil villain laugh
BrickWall ....Ahem! “Cue”👍
Kingpin: *yawn* "peasents...."
Be funny if paul came up from the back and crushed everyone...
I don't remember if you have mentioned this, but one advantage of blowing cooled air from the air conditioner on the components (instead of normal fans) is that there is very little moisture left to condensate on the components. Because much of the moisture in the air condensates on the air conditioner's cooling radiator and so the cooled air coming out is quite dry.
"This bad boy's ready to RIP so many Pauls"
I love Paul though
@mister.T Jr only one making videos to beat Jay
Who needs threadripper when you got a paulripper
Yeaaah RIP that Paul Baby
Sometimes when I rip i get the Pauls reeeal bad.
Very nice results. Currently trying to do my first build in 15 years, my last build I did when I was 12 years old and ever since I've resorted to laptops for gaming + school purposes and convenience. Was really excited about these 30 series, I was hoping to get a RTX 3080 to focus my build around but I did not expect them to be out of stock for so long. Either way, I've learned a great deal watching your videos about builds and component reviews, so thanks!
Watercooling is the main reason I come to this channel..seriously awesome. (Also Phil's editing of course) :)
If you want to spew, spew in this |_|
yeah Phil's editing is awesome!
Yeah, I learned a great deal more about water cooling here as well. Also, Phil's laugh is priceless.
Hey Garth... No Stairway!!

"Bare chips cool better!" Jay can I introduce you to my friend Surface Area?
My thoughts exactly 😉
Yeah sometimes I feel like Jay says inaccurate things very confidently without really thinking it through.
Yeah same
I suppose that with conditioned air stream any radiator mounted via thermal pad will act as an insulator, so bare chip would actually be better
@@adfadfasefasefadsf 1) Silicone thermal conductivity at 2C is ~150 W/mK, Aluminium ~200, thermal pad
Have you tried adding salt to the ice water? Salt lowers the melting point of ice water to around 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Also side note, it works cooling your beverages (adult or otherwise) faster too.
Every generation that comes out has this strange period where water cooling equipment isn’t out yet so this DIY/hacked method on extremely expensive hardware becomes a thing and it’s the best content ever
Those 2 3090's make up 80% of the consumer stock out in the wild right now. Paul, steve, and bots have the rest.
Can we all agree to NOT buy from bots? I'm just going to sit on my 2070s and just. WAIT. I personally want to see them all get STUCK trying to sell the cards.
Then there's me with my 1050ti wanting to upgrade to 2080 and everything g is 1000 cad
U mad bro?
I've seen so many people that bought some 3090's already. FaZe Jev pre-ordered 2
I am not buying from a scalper and if AMD has a similar product and more availability that's where I might be going next.
Frank Gentile SAME. I hope AMD launches an Nvidia killer
Hello Jay.
Just in case you don't know.
Air-conditioned air is very dry, as the AC process takes the moisture out of the air.
Which is why you don't have any condensation even with ice water, as there is no moisture in the air around the blocks.
So that is a trick for you going forward.
Thank you for always interesting and informative videoes.
Best regards from Denmark.
I watch this at 1.5x so that Jay sounds UNCOMFORTABLY ENERGETIC.
I'm really hoping this is a powerthirst reference

God I love the rip series! Favourite content when new gpus release, needs to become a set series getting even more youtubers involved.
Are they dual bios cards? looks like one is in silent mode and the other in turbo
Are they in fact the exact same SKU? Is also possible that one is the Ultra Gaming and the other is the non-Ultra Gaming model
Yes they are dual bios. There a oc switch. My 3080 has one and it gave it a 4% boost.
@@Inknov83d that sounds about right indeed
@@TADP0LE9806 the bios versions were the same, so I think they should be the same sku
Yeah it possible Jay bumped the bios switch while playing with the set up lol..
@8:30 I think I know why that is . From the looks of it you are looping the hot water coming from GPU 1 into GPU 2. You need two seperate pumps / loops to maximize the cooling on both GPUs.
Your right 2 radone for each block will be way better for sure
Don't these cards have a BIOS switch?
That could be the boost table issues.
i was looking for this comment. my thoughts exactly, he didnt talk about the bios switches at all.
northy lol wasn’t surprised
@@matthewkuhl79 he is talking about the 2 different cards not 2 bios on the same card.
@@krishgupta4745 Yeah, i see that having watched it again, but it was Steve who specifically pointed it out in his video 👍
that would be a separate bios
Regarding condensation. The A/C not only chills the air it also "conditions" the air (hence the name) meaning that it de-humidifies it. Basically it dries the air by making more of the water condensate on the chiller rather than on the cards.
Good Luck Jay! I love the RIPGN series and now adding Paul just makes it even more fun.
Jay and Steve letting Paul join into the fun.
Like the big kids letting the small kid "play" games with them... with an unplugged controller.
He literally beat him in air cooling... not sure how Jay never grew out of the "lets pick on the new kid" phase
Yes Paul beat Jay on air. Jay is just being salty.
Even the bots are now essentially yelling "first!"
Hey Jay 8:07 when you switch driver info screens the bit fill rates are different.
Good catch 👏 👍👍

His level of expertise never ceases to amaze. Love watching people do/talk about what they love.
wow he drilled 2 holes in a waterblock and moved sliders in overclocking software. Nvida should just fire their whole engineering team and have jay put them on their back lmao
Q (heat) = 500 x flow (gallons per minute) x delta T (temperature difference). The amount of heat that can flow is proportionate to the temperature between the card and the loop temp. It looks like you're Currently piped out of one card and into the next (piped in series) so your second card is seeing warmer water. Look up "reverse return piping configuration" to achieve a parallel piping configuration. This will ensure you're sending the coldest water to each block, and it's self balancing so each card will get the same flow. No idea if you'll ever see this, but I'm an engineer who designs hydronic systems for buildings.
Not sure why I keep watching these. They make me sad since they remind me I likely won't get a new 30xx card till 2021.
same
but for me it became obsessions to watch tech shit
But aren't you so happy that all these "influencers" have cards gifted to them, or in some way are able to "skip the lines" and buy them directly without having to beat the ninja bots and all they're doing is playing a game of "who can get the biggest numbers" /s
At least you haven't had what happened to me. I got a Gigabyte 3080 Eagle and it came with a bend power pin. It's currently back at Gigabyte getting fixed or something, not exactly sure. Should have it back next week or the next. I at least want it back before Cyberpunk
2021 huh? My my aren't we optimistic. Lol. I'm not expecting one until early to mid 2022.
Oh 2021 is nothing too big, I won't get anything above RTX 2060 Super until the launch of 40xx Super series i.e. 2024. By that time my pc will be fully obsoleted.
I must say that ViewSonic's logo is beautiful in its simplicity, very elegant 0:40
Last time I was this Early, The Luftwaffe had Aerial Superiority over France and Stalingrad.
The air conditioner is passing drier air over the cards too, which helps with controlling condensate buildup around the waterblocks.
err the foam is insulating the memory, that may be some of the temps issue on them.
I hadn't thought about that till I read your comment. Excellent point.
There is no memory in the location of the foam.
@@ScytheNoire Oh could have sworn i saw when he put it around the block it covered like half the chips
Yeah, there was and I didnt like that either, especially as the AC should have prevented condensation anyway.
Jay, if you have a refrigerator with an ice maker you could purchase a chest freezer and fill it with ice over time. If you leave the freezer full it would be extremely efficient and convenient.
"You guys have all the 30-series cards! 😩" Relax, guys.
For one, they're 3090s - the least appealing card for price/performance. For most people, a total waste of money.
For two, it's just a graphics card, and they'll get here. You'll make it, I promise. In the meantime, be glad you don't have PCB rev 1.0.
That's true, I try and avoid initial releases. Let other suckers iron out the bugs.
Though I must admit I may jump on a Zen 3 if they do not get sucked up immediately.
honestly, all I have to say about this video.... is thanks for making videos Jay, keeping us informed, keeping it light, and across all videos keeping it honest. Been a subscriber for a few years now, and I love the duels between you, Gamers, and LTT. I love all of your channels, keep doing what you are doing.
Would adding salt to the ice help any? Since it causes an endothermic reaction it should make the liquid water even colder.

Kingpin is not too far ahead on GPU, He is mainly winning by 6.0ghz on the same CPU. So You are almost there, go for the 6.0ghz. on LN2

I for one am loving these videos between jay/paul/steve and seeing the different methods used to cool their cards
For the love of the overclocking gods, salt the water so it can drop below 0C and chill the rad more.
And disintegrate and clog the radiator? They would have already done it. They use freon in some rigs. But its been known to damage hardware.
@@jjs6568 He is immersing a rad inside the cooler filled with water and ice. The rad is also painted or anodized to the entire exterior so that should protect from corrosion. That's a heat exchanger, but we're not talking about adding salt or ice directly to the loop.
Salting the ice water would allow the temperature of the water the rad is submersed in to drop below 0C. The fluid in the loop (which does not connect to the ice water in the cooler in any way) should have an anti corrosive, anti microbial etc additive that should allow the temperature of it to drop to below 0C too.
@@Producer_Steve You're right, the rad will be fine. The pump, maybe not. But since they go LN2 and such, there's not really a reason to go with salted water. It's just one step on the way.
@@kaldo_kaldo Once he solves the RAM and VRM cooling issues, getting the fluid even colder is going to be the only non extreme cooling way to get lower temps. For $1 or significantly less of a table condiment he could be gaining more overclocking headroom through lower temps and that could push him over the edge.
Speaking of the VRMs and RAM. Even a little bit of extra thermal mass and surface area would help a lot with temps. It's probably worth it to use 3m thermal adhesive transfer tape to affix 3mm tall heatsinks or even copper shims again just for thermal mass. That could also be the little edge Jay needs to top Phil and Steve.
Ideally he'd be able to use thermal cement like what ships with Arctic Acellero Coolers, but that stuff is nigh impossible to remove. Taller heatsinks would also be helpful but it looks like the bodged block is in the way of that.
So salting the water, making sure the loop fluid can stay liquid at below 0C and giving a tiny bit more thermal mass and/or surface area to the RAM is probably the best and cheapest thing he can do without going LN2, dry ice, immersion cooling or other extreme methods.
@@Producer_Steve My main argument was that running salt water through the pump will be very bad for it - he could get a salt water pump but it would necessitate that.
I look forward to this on EVERY top end vid card launch, from now on.
I Love the friendly competition.
Jay, can we have more Ifixit explosions please :)
I have to say, I have been having a blast watching your videos. Oh, I have been doing PC's Network security for almost 25 years (first PC was a 286, 10Mhz It even had a turbo button and SIPP's!), but I never realized fans blew towards the cage side, ZOMG thanks :) It's the simple things in life.
Let's get it!
I was the person who bought that CoolerMaster CPU cooler. Nice to see there is another owner is existance!
jay, you have no chance, we know that youre the blower master but you have absolutely no chance at beating the bike tech jesus in the long term, you will win battles you have absolutely no chance at winning the war
That’s one hell of an opinion you have.
Um didn't Jay beat him on the 20 series?
I love how Jay is soo much less rigid than Linus and Steve and Paul! He is always like: I'm just having fun. At everything. Even when he has to do something he doesn't want to, Jay has fun doing it or makes the viewers having fun watching it.
This is a great little competition! On LN2 your going to bypass Kingpin!
You could try getting a fish tanke and fill it with mineral oil. then place the radiator inside the mineral oil and have pumps push the fluid through the fins. to cool the liquid you should just toss some dry ice into the oil and good to go. the tems should be the same as water but have a bit more consistency
Why not use dry ice in the water bath? you could use some alcohol to lower the water's freezing point.
Any chance we could get some tests running World of Tanks and World of Warships? I'd be very interested to see 3080 or 3090 performance in 1080, 1440 and 4k. Thanks!
The trash talk is awesome. Gives your channels a 'mates' feel.
Add a bag of salt to the ice bath. Ice with water =32*F. Ice with water with salt =0*F
RipGN and ripjay(and now rippaul) is one of the best series. I enjoyed it last time and enjoying even more now that I have more knowledge about the whole process
Come out to Minnesota in the winter and try testing it to see if you can get higher score. We get some cold dry winters here in Minnesota.
Jay, I know u used to always say you don't need card radiator card loop, but maybe the 3090 is weird and this loop setup will matter in this case. You can try doing that and get same temps on both and also use same thermal paste, preferably Grizzly Cryo. As for air conditioning part, you can try to make additional box that would go all over the cards and add one or two 140mm fans at the end to increase airflow all over the cards equally. Additionally you can add salt to water to bring the temps even lower on GPU.
I love watching a person that is as big a klutz as I am. Keep fighting the good fight and who knows, you just might get to #1. It could happen.
You should try using a CoolBot with your AC to get colder temps out of it, their made for turning any room into a walk in fridge with any basic AC unit.
He should have a mains line voltage regulator and noise filter with a very short EMI proof Lead to the PSU. Then have the rig in a chassis to act as a faraday cage.
14:44 was epic XD
This is my first time watching the RIP series in real time as they're uploaded. Can't believe I missed it before, they're so great
Phil, that Turkey scene has me dyinggggggggggg😂😂😂😂😂😂🦃🦃🦃🦃
Man, the review for future GPUs are REALLY coming out early this generation! Can't wait to get that card when it launches in 2022
Some stick on heatsinks on memory would give it better temps, because of the added thermal mass and surface area for cold air.
If you want to prevent condensation, purge a sealed case with nitrogen gas keeping it at positive pressure. Then you can cool it down as much as you want
Despite the cold air blowing over the memory, you really need to place some fans for directed airflow... the A/C will just make that directed airflow colder.
The washers don't increase the spring tension. Regardless of
spring preload the tension stays the same. Same thing people are wrong about their cars. But great content, i like you.
Pull the bios from the higher boost table card and flash 2nd card with it. For pascal, the maxwell bios tweaker still somewhat worked, you could also use that to increase power limits and maybe try disabling gpu boost and going with static frequencies.
interesting matches for better results.
i have a couple of ideas i can't test myself
1. Use a Faraday cage to get rid of electromagnetic interference from the surrounding air
2. I know you tested how much pressure the threads of the water circuit can withstand.
and this should test the water circuit with a braided water circuit, what is better with negative pressure in the pipes or with positive pressure. water boils faster at negative pressure and has higher energy conductivity at positive pressure
ps. first test without computer components.
3. light is a source of radiation and spreads charged futons into an electrical circuit. (Reflectors are very strong) attempts to run tests in the dark. this will also help you with heat absorption in the room and maybe it will also cool the components more.
good luck with frequency calibration.
I am actually really enjoying these videos, the competition between you guys is amazing
I'm enjoying this a lot XD love the competition and humor between you guys
Regarding the the lack of VRAM heatsinks. One *big* reason just (chilled) air blowing over it doesn't work so well for heavy overclocking, is GDDR6(X) is flip-chip.
And on the 3090 it's tightly stacked in a serious hot-core sandwich, and the airflow can't get to the hot core. Those GDDR6X puppies run seriously hot as is. You either need some heatsinks on those modules to way more efficiently "draw out" that heatload and spread it out over much bigger surface area (air is a poor direct heat exchange medium for high thermal density) - or LN2. With LN2 the thermal delta is so high, it heavily chills the large bus and ground planes of the GPU PCB, which in turn "draws heat" away from the memory modules at the source (underside of the chip facing the substrate) through the traces. It does the same for the VRMs.
Also regarding the VRMs - you gotta remember that with the 3090s, you're pretty much _starting out_ with them pumping 400++ watts at stock boost. These cards _need_ those huge (and expensive) coolers on them for a reason, just to run @ stock. In comparison to ie. Touring, for this OC context you gotta treat them as if they were already shunt or bios modded and running a +60% power draw pretty much right out of the box.
Even with full cover blocks I would keep the ac pointed at the cards since that would probably help with the condensation.
You really should make an ac loop out of it with some r134a, just use the water blocks as the evaps.
i love this series and i look forward to this everytime a new gpu is released.
Jay please do a custom water cooling guide. I really need information about it and also about the compatibility of water cooling products
JAY
or point this out to Jay
AC air is super dry too. Blasting the cards with cold dry air, would help rip away condensation building.
🤔Wait... Wait, what if we combine cooling?
AC to move the air, keep things dry by blasting it dry, with a pot.
Ideas for later, -- who else would do it?
I'm rooting for Paul only because I love an underdog 😁
