External GPU Controller, BIOS Flasher, & LN2 Gas Cooling | Elmor Labs

they run we're at the g.skill booth now at Computex 2019 I've got two pretty cool things here one of them you may not have seen the show and it's an external voltage controller but it does a few other things too this from Elmore one of the extreme overclockers who used to work at Asus up until recently so you could use this to do something like external BIOS like be BIOS flash or voltage control we'll talk about that a bit more later there's also the ice cube with that astonishes sort of a case mod it's a case fabrication really before that this video is brought to you by thermal take C 360 DD C hard tubing water cooling kit if you're ready to dip your toes into the water and build your first open-loop cooling system the thermal takes C 360 DD C hard tubing kit comes with all the components you need the kit includes a three sixty millimeter radiator 3 128 a RGB fans a copper W 4 a RGB water block for the CPU a pump and res DD C combo and all the fittings needed to build a full CPU open-loop learn more at the link in the description below the way this works is it builds a basically a liquid nitrogen intake that turns into a nitrogen gas and then you have a cooling system inside that's semi passive but what's really happening here is there's a transfer hose coming out of an Allen C tanks about 180 liter tank it's pretty standard and I think over the past since the beginning of the day it's 5:00 p.m. now so since like 9:00 a.m. the tank has used about 110 liters maybe maybe a hundred liters so he's gone through a lot of it there's maybe there's not much left at this point so for one day cooling you end up with this box sustained at well it's currently at minus 25 but I think in Romans video it was much lower than that when we did a video with him on his channel and the intake comes in to the bottom box the bottom box is a 5 millimeter thick aluminum wall on all sides inside of that box can't see it in footage but there's another box that one the LNT transfers into the box and then evaporates and comes up to cool the system so the way it transfers transfer hose at the end of it has that hexagon nozzle that we've shown in our videos in the past that is fitted to basically water cooling fitting and then that feeds into a thick hose so it's an insulating material like you might use in an autumn application feeds into a hose and then comes out into the inner box the inner chamber and as it evaporates you get the cool gas coming up directly under the motherboard so motherboards flat here there's a hole in the middle of the box under the CPU socket so from that hole comes up the nitrogen gas as the ln2 evaporates and that cools the whole system by filling the cube and then there's the heatsink tower cooler that has a fan blowing but it's not like to blow the heat off the fin stack because when you're this cold it's that's not really hits pointless it's actually just to circulate the air so or the gas so that it can come out down this hard tubing hose that sticks up to the top comes out here then comes out of the sides of the case and you can actually feel the cool air coming out of the box so other than that I mean it's got two acrylic cubes that are sandwiched together and that's just because with ln2 cooling you start doing with things like condensation and ice buildup and making sure you can contain the gas without just like freezing everything over and this took about a week a full week of work for almora to build and it was not easy work because he had the source parts he had to make changes had you probably ran into a few mistakes along the way like for example he was telling me that if it weren't evaporating properly in the lower chamber like if you just had the liquid nitrogen build-up and it weren't evaporating ever then you'd end up eventually bubbling up into the box but I don't know if that actually happened he didn't tell me I'm guessing no it seems like he he was aware of this concern before getting into it so that's what Ice Cube it's just cool I mean this isn't literally I guess it's it's obviously not like a product it's like a cool tech demo of liquid nitrogen at the g-scale booth where they're doing a bunch of overclocking competition anyway so very interesting to see and different to application of Allen - reminds us a bit of the Robo clock or from Vince from kingpin last year except it's less Robo and more just lnto gas I mean no one's standing here it's been running more or less on its own this is the the EBC - so this will be available on Elmore's website it's Elmore labs calm it's not up yet it should be up probably within the next maybe month or so he's not a hundred percent final on the release date yet but this is something we could have used a lot in the past so it does a lot of different things one of them is it can do an external bio splash so we need to externally flash your video card or your motherboard maybe you don't have like for example the software tools to do it just yet if you have a pre-release review sample of a card or more realistically if you like blow up your bios or something and need a need to flash on another one but yeah so EB C 2 can also hook into the board and give you like power readings or voltage readings you can hook into a GPU and do external voltage control for the GPU which is actually what Rowan did originally and like the RIP GN thing before he did the most recent one they maybe even to the most recent one but he hooked into it an EB C controller and control the voltage directly so he could beat our scores so anyway EB C 2 will be on Elmore labs comm this is actually one of the things that I found more interesting at the show because it's like a small product by one guy by L Moore that has a lot of functional uses that we can apply in our own lab so I find that pretty exciting and look forward to trying it out that's it for this video though thank you for watching subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow I'll see you all next time
