We tried cooling a CPU with a LEAF BLOWER...

what's up guys Jays $0.02 here we're gonna continue our series of bad ideas concocted from the bathroom honestly after I come up with most of these ideas and also just a warning for the next probably few months there's me a lot of construction noise going on behind us because they're building a new thing across the street and there's big construction equipment so I apologize for that and I'm gonna go ahead and move forward and make the best of this this is a stock a and B cooler this is not even a Wraith cooler it's just the plain old chunk of aluminum that they put a copper disc in and this is what ships with like most of the rise and stuff below in 1800 x you guys remember we did be 4x4 they 480 by 480 red that we built with the box fan and then we took an AC and hooked it up to it now we're gonna kind of do sort of the air cooling version of that we're gonna take this we're gonna take the fan off we're gonna hook a shop back up to it today's video is sponsored by Squarespace whether you're looking for a domain an online website or an e-commerce site get started today with Squarespace Squarespace is templates make it easy for you to set up your website and get that look and feel that you want and doesn't require any updating or patching because it all happens automatically in fact I even launched an e-commerce site when I was selling my custom cycling jerseys because I didn't know the first thing about creating an online cart by myself so I utilize Squarespace and that got me up and running the very same day but if you need a domain you can handle that too through their easy and hassle-free domain registration transfer and management Squarespace empowers millions of websites across thousands of industries for people just like you and me so head on over to Squarespace calm for your free trial and when you're ready to launch head to Squarespace calm /jc sense and save 10% off your website or domain so it looks like it just has this little ring well Kevin oh it broke this is our sacrificial fan we need to we need to cut the core out so there's that so this is now our stroud that we are going to use that mounts to this that we can use our coupler to our tube see if it works let's go make like the Mario okay so here's we got here we got a three inch by two inch coupler this is our well it looks like a throttle body to me so this goes on cooler this goes on this once we loosen up this little fit on there this two inch is pretty much like the standard size for most shopback so that's how it's gonna look on top of the cooler so now we go get our shot back alright so we were looking at the shop backs we realize they all kind of suck in terms of their diameter and their length um school jokes aside so the shop vacs just not seem to have the power we were looking for the volume we were looking for so we kind of pivoted and changed our concept mid video we're gonna go with this guy it's not actually on I thought the length was gonna be more shut up alright so one hundred and forty six dollars later we're on our way back to the studio that's pretty much the price of a good area or a good knock to or something and it's something nobody should do what we're still gonna prove why you shouldn't do it but I wanna I want to talk about something cuz I know whenever at this point people are going - already did that here any blue hair into a case like that yeah he actually blew air into the case we are blowing air directly into the cooler to see what happens so consider this inspired by while I was taking a dump okay so first thing we have to do is I took another fan I realized I didn't do a baseline we have to see what this can do on its own and don't even remember which cooler I got this out of to be honest but I can tell you it's twice as thick as summit ladies twice as thick as some of the other coolers that come with Rison as you can see it also has the copper core with a single heat pipe in there so we're gonna go ahead and get this set up on the test set the test bench well test box and we're gonna see what our baseline temperatures are so we can at least see how much it's improved I don't think it really matters because no one's gonna do this practical practically practically practically optimize defaults and restart it thermally shut down because I forgot the previous settings I had in this 2700 X where when it was overclocked on water and it was set to 1.5 volts and it was idling at 7 DC so I just did a bunch of baseline testing with the stock cooler on here I'm using the echo therm I love this stuff it comes with all the graphics cards from ek so I've been using that for this temperatures are pretty hot though because the 2700 X comes with the prism cooler as you guys know which has four heat pipes and a lot of fins and this this cooler doesn't come with that CPU so I'm asking a lot of this cooler I did one two three four back-to-back Cinebench runs and you can see the increased curve right here all the way up to 93 Celsius which is only to see below throttling so if I'd done another test right there I'm sure we would have throttled I've done OC CT letting that run on loop and I actually run one time I got so hot it shut off the computer because of thermal throttling so the reason why I'm using this cooler to be honest says something like the prism or the Wraith is because it's round and that makes it easier for me to mount a round coupler to it but if we can actually get this cooler now to not throttle then we'll know that it worked I mean consider gonna be shoving like 155 mile-per-hour air and 480 CFM at it I think it'll work hello to my little friend the tape caught it I really wanted to use a coupler on this rather than tapings I don't want it to be such a turbulent step so we need heat and I left my heat guns at home but we have a stove come on there we go low heat like that can't feel hot yeah well that is warm I can feel that did it it's amazing how well this whoa how well all of this actually fit together all right so obviously we're setup you can hear it as you can see this is the lowest I can get the motor to turn where air is still coming through if obviously it's blowing through here and down we are currently idling at 36 see that's 10 see cheap lower than it was before and we are going to go ahead and let OCC t go doing large data sets and we will ramp up the speed as it goes we're already thinking we need to adapt this for a future video where we blow it into a graphics card 5767 you know what I want to let it get hot and see how quick it cools down a bee 990 okay I'm gonna stop torturing my neighbors here here's the bottom line this is stupid it's actually not even the coolest area could be giving it because the turbine motor or the motor is heating up the air actually there's warmth there's warmer air coming out than ambient when you put that high-speed when it's on low-speed it was actually much cooler air but as the motor the air goes through the turbine it's getting warmed up by the motor in fact I believe the motor is actually being cooled by the air coming in so we're actually blowing warmer than ambient air on that does that seem practical for 20 to 23 C improvement no but we're gonna do it and spend 150 bucks on this video to try it of course I mean why else would we do I want to point out to the reason why I was pointing at the GPU is because the air was going through here going down hitting and then just going out in the 360 degree degree direction around it and it was actually cooling off the GPU because enough of that air was coming around to the front the GPU was picking it up and off it goes so that's why it was idling down in the 20s that's exactly why I feel like we need to for our next video will we do something like this we rigged up this directly into a GPU and I hear the piano guy next door do you know what how's it feel
