1. Linus recommends to not get microorganisms in the loop.
2. Linus spits at the loop
Do as he says, not as he does

I wanted to make this comment while watching the video. Good minds think alike @linustechtips
Karbon Krankin - And fools rarely differ. /s
I literally came down here to make this comment then I saw this.
Linus: "Don't blow into your loop, it will introduce a lot of bacteria"
also linus: "spit really is the natures lube"
Oops I blow in tube when cut and deburr them to remove all bits so no particles of tube goes in loop
Same, whenever I see dust in my house I just cover it with a Galaxy S 9.
yeah me too

That’s kinda like what I do: when I see dust I just blow it up with my Note 7

Couple tips.
1. Use silver polish on nickle blocks to clean them. It is slightly less abrasive than copper polish so it won't harm the nickle. Works great!
2. Don't use a toothbrush on clear acrylic. You will make a lot of micro scratches in the clear finish.
3. All that metal you had collecting around the pump is from the lack of a corrosion inhibitor. Most coolants will have their own pros and cons, but clear Mayhems X1 (not Pastel, XT1, etc) is made of vegetable extract, has a good additive package, and will keep that buildup and wear away for a LONG time while also not staining components.
4. Pick up some pH test strips from the corner store. If your water's pH is out of whack, it can accelerate the discoloration process and shorten the lifespan of everything in that loop.
What should you use instead of a toothbrush on acrylic? Cashmere wool?
i wonder if some of the nickle erosion is velocity related.
Microfiber and elbow grease works for acrylic in my experience.
And you know what else is absolute hell? Tunnel bear, brought to you by McAfee.
Rexin Oridle ahahahahah, so right.
It was already crap before McAfee bought it out lul
hahahah you sir are a winner

so much this haha

That was just him trying to show Max his pubic hair. He was flirting with the camera the entire time.
I think He doesn't want his clothes to get dirty now, He used it a lot of times on cam

1:54 Man, if that isn't the coolest wall I've ever seen..
Saw that ep where they built this. They didn't get into it, but these are actual motherboards, if you didn't already know.
10:42
Linus: "Oh, it smells! **long sniff** (Holds out to Max) Ugh, do you wanna smell it?"
Max: o~0; "No..."
Jeff Foxworthy spoke of this once. It's a phenomenon that occurs among men, which he calls the 'courtesy sniff', because one day, your buddy will find a smell even worse to share with you.
yep always one of his best jokes and sadly true
OwO
How often do you need to clean a custom loop?
Depends on the fluid. If you use distilled water, about once a year.
If you use nanofluid, you might be able to go up to 2 years without cleaning, although once a year is better.
Once per month.
borat smagadijev do you put water from Flint Michigan in your loop?
ROBBAZ!
Nano fluids are actually worse than distilled water. They can gunk up the blocks and even sand off the nickel plating (more so than just water). Ive been using distilled water for over a year now, other than a color shift towards the blue spectrum, all is well and still cooling :D
Today we learned Linus will put his mouth anywhere

Who is behind the camera btw?! Maybe it’s Max and Linus was just making sexual innuendos to flirt with her. SMH I feel so bad for Max she is literally walking into sexual harassment everyday! She’s part of the #metoo movement with Linus subtlety making these sexual jokes when she’s behind the lens.

This is a really great video showing how much it can be a pain in the ass to clean out a water cooling setup. I think this is one of the reasons why AIO's have gotten more popular.
This made me not want to do water cooling
Is it weird that this made me want to do water cooling more?
Some people enjoy working on their PC's, just like people incessantly work on their cars, or gardens, etc.
@@TenebrusI07 I don't think so but same
I mean, he is exaggerating, and this is a very custom build. I only changed out distilled water in my last loop twice in 7 years. Kept everything exactly the same in the build. And gamed daily with it. Easy. Quiet.
Exactly.
8:14 “spit really is nature’s lube... I mean not for this..” 😂😂
Absolute Hell... Brought to you by Thermaltake... not the best plug lmao
I love videos that deeply legitimize my choice of air cooling.

ON MY SOUL
But Linus, when are you gonna clean the motherboard wall?
Oh.
Linus Tech Tips now that's 2 techyoutubers replying to me in a week.
omg that motherboard background painted all white with the ambient lighting is AMAZING.
My boss overheard me watching this and thought I was watching something NSFW.
Thank you.

"I just need a really long stiff object. *wink*"
I was laughing my head off.
Please do the transparent "test loop" and contaminate it a bit, and than keep it running as long as it can to the point the hardware fails to show us "how bad it can be" and how long it can run in that broken state even if the pump fails :P PS. Please like this comment up if you support this idea ;)
Navi Retlav They already accidentally did that in whole room watercooling where they used automotive cooling which doesn't have anti growth properties.
Navi Retlav I have a old system that is water cooled, cpu/gpu and the pump died on it while I was at work and the system was mining. Temps got into the high 80s but nothing died.
3:23 Next up on LTT, Linus takes a fat rip off his bong desk.
1- note to add coming back to this years later- So If you properly maintain your loop and use proper clear translucent coolant with a 1 year, drain, flush, refill. You will probably never have to go through using a toothbrush to clean everything, by the time you would have to do it, it would be time to create a new build requiring new parts for your main PC, usually I recycle the main system and its watercooling to a MultiMedia NAS box for the main TV, for light gaming, bulk storage, and backup, after it gets cycled twice it usually gets cleaned and put in the need a part bin or goes to a friend and family parts box.
Watching this while thinking about a custom loop system. If microbes and corrosion is such a big issue with the coolant used, how about a premium proplyne glycol coolant like pentofrost. That'll keep an engine fresh for 100K miles, its gotta be good enough for a PC.
Actually, Jayztwocents talked about this. The reason that antifreeze isn't used in water cooling systems in PC is because the antifreeze would chemically react with the components in the cooling system. Eventually, the system will develop structural failures, and you'll have leaks in all your tubing. Unless you build out a full metal only system, but then service is an UTTER bitch in the event something does go wrong.
If you want to prevent microbial developments or corrosion in the loop, you should just get the appropriate additives that are designed for PC water cooling.
Hey Linus have you ever thought of keeping water samples from your drained reservoirs and sending them in for trace analysis testing? Over time they may give you an idea of how well the parts are doing over their service life / warn of component failure being imminent, kind of like how is brass is detected in motor oil you know something bad is going to happen and it's time to do an overhaul.
I kind of get the impression a PC just isn't a long-lived enough device to really think that far down the road for.

I've have watercooled builds, both were running premix coolant by Mayhems (based on vegetable extract, not water). Just serviced them both after 3 years. No corrosion at all and no gunking. I just reassembled and even re-used the 6 coolant I drained from it.
Want to avoid corrosion from using water? Don't use water. 😂
i doubt linus or his staff will see this message but i just wanted to tell them and everyone else this has become my absolute favorite youtube channel to watch/listen to thank you for all the great videos you have made me so happy and i have actually learned quite a bit. also i love scrapyard builds :P it makes me sick thought some of the other builds you do like the bit coin farm builds so much money oh my... and i thought my like $2,700 desktop was a lot... anyways peace guys thanks linus and the whole staff!!! you are all awesome!
The sheer amount of sex pun is intimateing

Most sexual video so far
7:03 Linus NO! You have so much to live for!!!
Linus edge tips.
7:24 linus does dirty talk...hahah!!😂
You have a compressor Linus! No need to blow!
Also using soap instead of your spit for lubrication could be good if you are securing the lines (if not it could be "too slippery" and they could come off). Bonus is that it doesn't contaminate the water AND will reduce surface tension in the system. I'm a little surprised there's only a bit of purification drops and not water wetter or something similar.
Lastly - back purging after running for a day with the reservoir at a high point could get ALL of the air out which could also prevent some buildup by preventing oxygen to whatever is growing in there.
Thank god they linked the toothbrush. I was coming to the point to replace the one I got from my mom and I had no idea were she gets those things

Ill stick to air cooling
Lance Icy just get an AIO liquid cooling
Air coolers are more reliable. I don't how are things now, but back in my days AIO pumps were loud and failed easily.
HotRodX yeah custom loops ar cool but a pain to do maintenance
well its more of hobby than anything
AIOs are bad as well.
im so glad i did plumbing work for a year. thinking about building a desk pc and this totally makes me see how to properly do it now.
I built my desktop with water cooling (cpu+gpu and two radiators) a while back, when I was just starting at work, I had plenty of time to play with things. Less than a year later I cleaned it up a little (without disassembling water blocks.) A (many) years later without maintenance (i added more water as it disappeared...) it's still fine. I became senior engineer, contribute to other projects, teach some code kids at local highschools in my free time... And I now spend all my money on very expensive mountainbike(s) -> No more room for gaming hardware in my schedule x_x (I did build a water cooled dual xeon server though, it's my fireplace in the livingroom lol)
I honestly didn't mind the Dyson video. I also enjoyed the drama it caused. lol
When he said "but its actually loud, like listen to this!" my phone alarm went off and I was so confused.
This is exactly why i'm aircooling
rwiersema Or just get closed loop system
I dont know...is air cooling kinda stylish? Guess not
Yes it is
At one point it's just not worth the upkeep. Water cooling can save space in certain circumstances but this is just insanity. imo being stylish is way less important than performance\stability.
i'm aircooling because i'm broke tbh
I always wanted a custom hardline loop for my next build but after looking at all this maintenance videos, I think I’m going for a closed loop solution for both my CPU and GPU.
Would love to see a journey video of a start to finish complete Linus office build/upgrade.
He's literally turning into *LinusSexTips!*

This video was cool but its not really comprehensive.
Thanks

"Look how thick that sucker is" - Linus, 2k18
I recently had to do maintenance on my loop. It's a bit of a pain but unlike air where it degrades fairly quickly for even worse cooling, watercooling works so good that temps aren't even the reason you maintain it. And the fact that it's as quiet at full noise as an air system at idle is always a plus ;)
Aire needs any maintenance? I thought you might at dust it and it's good...
That has to be the coolest setup i have ever seen. As a craftsman im on it... I will build one integrated into a self .....thing....Two Shells mind you!!! One on each side of my monitor.

You saw it here folks, he made a good transition.
Yeah Ill stick with my air coolers thanks.
Linus needs to invest in an air compressor.
And a tarp. A tarp would have eliminated the need for this in the first place.
jedidethfreak he busts out the compressor later. Seemed a bit rushed at the beginning.
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073F9NY1X/ref=psdc_200925031_t1_B00S7CH6FK This product is awesome :) Had it my self for a bit now, clean your desktop to your keyboard...to your whatever. I even used it on my say my bike to get rid of water faster.
The no. of products he use,that I saw in background on 7:33, can be used to open a entire new shop.
RICH LINUS
If u watched some of linus' videos, he stated all the money he earns goes towards company and only luxurious things he has are his electronics, and only recently he upgraded his old pink car to a hybrid due to many problems his old car had(couldnt lock it for example)
Pro tip if you have one of those sealant testers that is sold by EK water blocks you can use the pump to push the water out of your loop as it only pumps air into the loop and air in the loop equals water out for those of you out there who have vertical systems might help you get water out of your system easier rather than blowing into it or even 3-D print a compressed air nozzle adaptor to seal your hose to a compressed air line and just blow the water out that way
Awesome.. you have a Peter Gade Shirt in the background.. one of our national badminton heroes
"Spit really is nature's lube." - Linus 2018.
Now we know how he's able to pay people. He's saving major money on lube throughout the year.
10:50 -- As a smell and corrosion etc. protectant -- why isn't anti-freeze used in liquid cooled rigs? The smell in water generally comes from microorganism/organic matter development. Even when distilled and finely filtered water is used, there is still some level of microorganisms present. 91% Isopropyl alcohol and/or anti-freeze might solve this issue. I do not know this for a fact, but whatever works on high performance racing car engines should be fine for high performance rig use.
Any feedback on this topic would be most appreciated.
Darice Davis because it’s glycol based and will react with the tubing because the the “G” in PETG tubing stands for glycol (but it can be used short term although it shows the same results as any other liquid)
JmB, why not different tubing? And why not put a filter in the system? It just seems like half-baked idea.
That is an option but he asked why many people don't do it and that is the answer for the majority
0:50 "case"
I consider my umbrella a case, too.
i miss this office. That computer wall was so cool.
make sure that your exhaust fans are way stronger than your intake fans and that will reduce dust

What's up with the audio? It sounds muffled....
Tl;Dr
Linus blows his desk
I fucking love how Linus goes from serious topic to sponsor so fast.
Air Compressors work just as well as blowing into the loop, just use a reducer so you don't over pressurize the system
YEAHHHHHHHHH The new dirt game is out!!!!!!
You should have sent a sample of the "red residue" to a culture lab to see what exactly it was that was growing in there... then again... maybe it's just as well you don't know... THAT BEING SAID, it is most likely Serratia marcescens. A reddish colored mold that is commonly found in soil all over the world, but mostly in North American temperate climates, aaaaaaaand unclean bathrooms! Bon Appetit!
S. marcescens is also the same shit that grows in your pets water bowl if you dont clean it every 2-3 days.
It could also simply be copper or other alloys.
Copper would have oxidized and turned green. It's almost certainly serratia.
Crystal Soulslayer copper in water turns black (copper oxide CuO) not green (copper carbonate) which is from air. There was oxygen dissolved in the water and bubbling but there are also other sources like steel (likely plated) and nickel/etc. A nickel oxide could be green though.
It is likely serratia, but not necessarily totally and possibly exacerbated by the metal bits and bubbling air.
Hm, so it does. TIL. Though if there were any sulfurous / sodium compounds or acetic acid present, it could potentially turn green without needing open-air exposure.
Do they use steel in water-cooling hardware, though? That seems like a recipe for instant galvanic corrosion.
You should've upgraded that PC along with cleaning too.
A watchmaking tip for removing ferromagnetic material from a magnet is to use Rodico which basically is bluetac without oils, if oils aren't a problem you can get away with regular old bluetac.

This is why I stick to air cooling
Same. Imo watercooling is for enthusiasts who focus more on high benchmark scores or looks than on actual game performance. except for some really small cases or bad mixes of hardware.
Or people who just enjoy customizing their computer :-)
But this is also an extreme example. My loop has been running for over a year without maintenance there is no sign of gunk or anything in it.
And maintenance on most loop is way easier than what they show. I could probably do it in an afternoon (and that's because it's so rare that you forget everything every time).
That's why I regret having made the mistake and having custom water cooling in my PC...
Like... how do you get into custom watercooling without being aware of the risks/implications?
Xælias AL because of all the advertisements without also including the risks in it
Sitting thinking about cleaning plexi-glass / acrylic / perspex. Here are my untried suggestions (in no order of recommendation):
1. Warm salt water / saline solution - obviously if using salt, dissolve completely to avoid abrasion, and rinse like hell.
2. Warm water and vinegar, again, rinse like hell.
3. Sterilising fluid (e.g. Milton). This was suggested by the lady of the house, who was formerly employed in the refrigeration sector, and had 1st hand experience of engineers using Milton to flush systems.
Would be curious to know if these have been tried. One for Linus Tech Tips to try.
Oh and MDF? Seriously? :D
FYI, 10:30, In the US it's finally been ruled/clarified that it is not legal to void a warranty because someone carried out repair or maintenance work. Once you purchase it you own it and they can't penalize you for maintaining your property. That came out the day after this video I think.
