We Watercooled a Computer with BEER! DID IT WORK??????

2018-02-16
what's up everyone Jays $0.02 here and it's been a long time since I've done any sort of experimental video regarding water cooling we tried water cooling with milk Powerade I don't even know what else Oh orange juice that was a fun little series we haven't done about that in a while but ever since the post Malone series started all the way back to his first video the number one comment has been water cool his system with beer so that's exactly what we're gonna do today we're gonna use Bud Light that's his favorite beer I figured it's the most water like yeah we're not gonna actually water cool his with beer but I figure we at least see what happens when we try it with mine what are you doing shopping for a case from when you build what are you looking for I want something designed for water cooling fractal design define s all the way check it out plenty of airflow plenty of open interior for water cooling radiator support it even has mounts for your reservoirs I don't have enough room for my hard drives okay fractal design r5 look at all those hard drive cages and you can fit your radiators and water cooling in here no I got a lot of hard drives but I also have an e ATX motherboard okay I'm gonna try something here okay bear with me you might wanna stand clear never actually tried this before yeah actually it works fractal design to find r6 you could fit all your radiators a crap-ton of hard drives and if it's a ATX did this is perfect nailed it and before we get started with today's video I want to remind you that I am doing a giveaway right now in collaboration with fractal design and exotic PC we were giving away a four thousand dollar custom rigid tube bent water-cooled PC so if you guys missed that look at the description below and you guys to find a link to that giveaway but moving forward this is actually the leftover beer we had from the last post Malone video so obviously we need a baseline we need to know kind of what the normal conditions would be so we have OCC tea running right here on medium data sets because a large data set doesn't do enough Heat small data set basically hammers our 8700 K and puts it up into the 80s and 90s even a stock speeds we are running all course synced and we are running like I said the medium data set so these are what our temperatures look like right now the test has been running for around two minutes but before that we did a lot of testing so the heat it's already put into the loop and this is roughly where we're sitting but it is a 4.7 gigahertz all core technically in overclock so this is where we are we are sitting in the mid 60's to the upper 50s our max temps as you can see will momentarily hit into the 70s and even 82 C on one core proof that the 8700 K is definitely a hot CPU there's no doubt about that we know that but what happens when we put it on beer plot twist the PC just gets it drunk this is why it is so important to have drain valves in your system our bodies have drain valves for a reason you know your butt your pee-pee I find it as measurement just as mesmerizing to watch a system empty itself as I do filling them so we need to make sure we flush out all of this glycol-based coolant though so we've got the entire system bled of any of the glycol-based coolant that was in here went through a ton of distilled water it's all it was all nice and clear so it's cleaned out as much as it can be I didn't want to mix the beer with that I don't want to make an explosion right now I know it's not gonna happen but still but we noticed this when we took the cap off this system has been together forever it's gone through a couple of changes in the last two or three years but check out the top of this this is this is corrosion I don't know what this camp is made out of this was actually the original Alpha cool cap that came with the top of this combo but we actually noticed the top the underside of the cap was also green too from where this was so this is corrosion this isn't actually algae this is why it's really important guys when you're shopping for like the eBay specials and the cheap China knockoffs you don't know what it's made out of I mean they may advertise it being made out of certain things and I know alpha cool has changed a lot of their manufacturing process since this was made so hopefully this isn't problem I sketch so hopefully this isn't a problem that will continue but I just wanted to point this out there's no corrosion or the growth anywhere in this loop it's not in the blocks it's not in the radiator just on the cap so that that's strange just thought I should show that but it's possible now it could have ended up in other places in the loop so eventually we need to do a full teardown to investigate that I thought I would show that I also have propped up the system here at kind of an angle because we what I want to avoid here is getting a big mess of foam I think this is going to turn into a big foamy mess the moment that we actually start putting this to just nothing like this water I think the moment I turn this on it's just gonna it's gonna turn up a big foamy mess the hard part's gonna be getting it in there it's it's just kidding an it's gonna be the hard part yeah we should oh wait wait a funnel I mean this is not how you pour beer there's also another reason why I'm doing this guys it's not just for the entertainment factor of like what happens if your water cool with beer I want to see the color of Bud Light I want to see what it looks like because I'm gonna try and recreate it for Austin or post Malone's build Nick do you know of any way to get head to go down faster I don't know what I'm supposed to do I'm gonna turn it on with all that foam right now and see what happens what do you think just not follow me the more I hope get some paper towels ready now this is what it does in your stomach that's why you get the beer burps this is what this is what happens we should've done what stuck the to the drain tube at the bottom of there and then fill up them there that we won't get the key inside the reservoir then fill them we write hot water here we get a tube I mean you know more about beer than I do I mean shoot I don't drink very often okay that's not a go raaah it's just like beer aroma just everywhere right now well we're getting movement no it's not helping it at all this is the worst idea ever as long as we get movement that's what matters we got a movement we have beer flowing through the system the question is whether or not we'll ever get the foam to actually go down I don't think we're going to I this is just gonna keep and he's just gonna keep foaming forever no not the carbonation as much it's like the yeast and the hop all the hop yeah oh this is why we can nice things every bit of liquid we pour in there every bit of bubbles we get out of there it's not nearly as golden as I thought it was gonna be so this might not be that hard of a mix to make for Austin specie to look like beer it's just a slight bit of yellow dye and maybe I'd like a drop of orange like a tiny drop of orange idea where's our pumper like a pump out the phone oh crap obviously you would never be able to run back in my leg is wet and so that happens when I do PC stuff you could never run beer in a system like this it will rot it's got to be kept cold hurts gonna get nasty so this is just for science okay if we can call this science it's quite one of the most unscientific tests ever we don't have a hypothesis we don't have a prediction there ain't gonna be no conclusion this is just like shit we have science project due tomorrow what do we do I don't know if we're here in the computer to do huppin's it's just a foamy mess like I said oh it's still going up if I turn it off let it sit ah but there is more just a nice classy drink I know right this is this actually looks a little tasty like whether you like beard or butt light or not just imagine this is your favorite beer okay it's your favorite mine happens to be Hefeweizen deal with it but I'm looking at what's going through here there's more fluid going through here now then foam like if you look at the tubes over here so I think we're about to be in a place where we can actually start it up the beer isn't I mean the brain doesn't need to be hydrated face it does look pretty bellows I'm a lightweight guys I'm sorry I've been drinking the beer in between the shots so I guess the rest of this video who cares all right all right we got to see what actually happens here so I can't help it I'm light we went drinking with post Malone the other night I gotta throw him back we had a point to this somewhere so one of the biggest takeaways is that this is a lot more clear than expected it to be yes for all you beer guys and your IPAs and crap I know they get darker he likes Bud Light that's why we did that it's a it's slightly gold in there but what happens in systems like this with reservoirs is the reservoir always looks darker than the tubes because there's a higher concentration and depth of the fluid so it looks a little more golden here that doesn't the tubes the tubes almost look clear what do you think they almost look clear don't they yeah I think one because this came out of the refrigerator and it's still really cold I think the initial temps are gonna be great look at that when it turns on look at this it just looks tasty I mean it's like any other fluid the how much and how well it cools it's definitely colder but that's because it's chilled right it's a cold fluid right now so our media and data set lets you happen to the temps - as we pop it up know that they are initially colder than the water but they should be like I said they were taken out of the refrigerator where the other stuff was so he's got let us go for a while now I'm thing away 15 minutes 15 minutes should be enough to let the loop kind of equalize to see what happens 15 more minutes of me drinking beer so NIC had the bright idea to open the lid the cap while it was going and our temperature is like which are sitting pretty good right now it's only been running for six minutes they're in the 50s and 60s you see how it shut up here into the 70s and 80s Nick open the cap he was like I don't want to let some of the pressure out was like no I think it's fine because all the bubbles and stuff were like gone and basically it was turning flat which is what happens to beer when it aerates and turns warm it was flat so he cracks the top it goes whoosh into foam and like comes up real quick and he like capped it off before it overflowed the second he did that it turned in a big hairy mess and then the temps were like being like spiked so why not try it again there oh it's still going up okay yeah but see now that you pull air in the system it's really not that bad though it's actually cooling really really well you can see where he opened the cap right there I think this is more what I expected to happen when you let it just sit under pressure it's not that bad but Nick's afraid it's gonna pop off a hose because we had an experience here that we didn't really talk about a while back or we actually created a geyser no crap so I I have this bright idea of just leaving the cap open so that it could just keep expanding oh man I just don't want getting on there we have a running system right here so we've been running out for 14 minutes close enough to our 15 our temperatures are sitting in the mid to upper 60s couple cores in the 50s every now and then except max this was when we kept playing around the foam so that number is kind of what can you take away from today's video one apparently we've run out of ideas too you can cool a computer with beer for a little while until it rots ferments and turns into a disgusting algae filled rotted mess so the other takeaway from this video is guys it was just a pure piece of entertainment okay questions gonna be what happens when we try and clean it out definite smells like when you walk into a bar bathroom right now it's the best way to put it so I'm just gonna be running distilled water through here probably a couple gallons of it just to make sure that we get it all out and we've got our jumper on there so that's just draining I just kind of keep topping it off and it will keep circulating through the system until this comes out perfectly clear I don't think this is gonna be a problem to clean honestly guys I think it's gonna become clean pretty quickly so while I keep doing this why don't you guys do this why'd you guys go and check out the links in the description below one to the giveaway two to the other video we did where we tested like I said milk orange juice Powerade we have another video we tested thermal compounds with things like peanut butter some Burt's Bees cream and Oreo cookies or ro cookie filling so you guys can give this video a like if you appreciated us putting our our components through this torture just to see what happens anyway guys thanks for watching give us some more suggestions obviously enough people suggested try cooling a system with beer and we did it so we don't give any peer pressure at all this was our idea you didn't make us do this alright maybe you did whatever okay see in the next one
