TRULY Silent Workstation PC with ZERO FANS - HOLY $H!T Ep. 13

2016-10-31
holy Sh are you trying to tell me that this box has a workstation PC sort of gaming PC in it yes I am in fact it came all the way from France and was sent to us by a company called kaleo's who specializes in silent cooling yes my friends cooling with no fans no pumps no water get that you go out of here oh there it is and oh okay and no real chance of extracting this thing on my own I'm gonna go round up a posse move right back mass drop is now featuring the new flagship I am from DS at 80 featuring a six point eight millimeter dynamic driver check them out at the link in the video description so the first thing I want to know is why couldn't I move this exactly how heavy is this bastard so let's take it over to the scale here if you can help guide me on drew it yep oh wow seventy-two and a half pounds for this bastard seventy two and a half pounds what kind of what kind of bullcrap is that like what is going on in here well let's have a look at exactly what's going on in here so we've got a 5820k processor we've got four dims of what is that yeah HyperX predator ddr4 memory we've got an msi x99s sli plus we've got this is a 500 watt super flower passive power supply we've got an SSD and finally we've got a GTX 1080 but none of that I mean especially given this isn't an aluminum case it's not even heavy none of that accounts for the weight so the weight all seems to come from Cali OSes cooling solution so this is a gigantic what looks and feels like aluminum heatsink all across the back of the case here it's got to be about two-and-a-half three inches thick with these gigantic fins and a secret sauce inside that they specifically contractually forbidden me to open and look closely at but the basic principle is on their site instead of what you might normally use in a heat pipe which is sometimes even water they're actually using a refrigerant called HSC 245f a so this is Penta fluoro propane yes I had to look at a cheat sheet in order to remember that they're using that along with these these capillaries you can actually see them here passing from the heatsink over to the CPU area and then there'd be another one down by the GPU so they're using these these presumably copper tubes that are carrying fluid down the one side so that'll go in the fluid side to the CPU block then what happens is it's evaporating here and the vapor is going out this way now they're able to move it without a pump thanks to a very similar principle to how heat pipes work and that is like these micro pores in the metal itself how they keep it directional how they have it flowing fast enough in order to achieve the temperatures they claim on their website though that is still a mystery to me so naturally I'm not just going to take their word for it but the basic premise here is pretty straightforward Kalle Oakes is using the same technology that got them four and a half million euros of investment funding back in 2014 to take the technology that they developed for data center cooling that basically eliminates the problems with air that is that it's hard to direct the heat somewhere that you want it to go and it's not as effective and the problems with water which is that maintenance is an absolute nightmare and bring it to the desktop so no moving parts no noise and they claim great performance that's cool I mean I don't know how cool it is it's really quiet that's for sure so step one with my test bench drive installed is going to be to let it sit for like half an hour and idle because I want to know what kind of temperatures it runs at when we're not putting any kind of load on it like if you were just you know using a word document for example and that is not bad so the CPU sitting around 39 degrees the GPU sitting at around 30 degrees but of course idle is not the test of a cooling solution so the next thing I'm going to do is throw up an IEEE 264 test where we put it under loads and would you look at that 45 minutes later CPU still sitting at 67 degrees on the pack and perhaps even more impressively I mean these are like decent air cooler temps perhaps even more impressively is that the heatsink is handling that load with pretty much no difficulty whatsoever so you can look at these thermal camera shots and see that even our hottest point is well within what I would consider to be the comfort zone so that leads us then to our last test Crysis 3 I want to sit and run this game let's launch margin I want to run this game for one hour and see if it can still hold up when we dump all that GPU heat load into the system ok so we're back for the end of our one hour GPU test although I should probably point out that it's actually been three days though that's even more impressive because check this out not only is our game still running yep not only is our game still running but it's actually still running at 80 fps which means that whatever the thermals are of the rest of the system it's at least not thermal throttling so I'm going to whip out the thermal camera and get all the readings that I need in order to put together kind of an after test for you guys so the GPU the CPU memory I want that vrm solution that like homemade vrm solution up there as well as the power supply and finally I want to get readings from the back Wow honestly I think this might be the most impressive part the hottest point on this entire finna rake you home I can barely move it okay the hottest point on this entire thin array is down here at about 44 degrees Celsius so to put that in perspective the entire thing it you can feel the heat coming off it like an aura but the entire thing is not so warm that uncomfortable to touch which is just mind-blowing like okay we'll deal with that later in the meantime back to the system so I first heard about this back in July there was a post on the forum and it was like oh these guys claim to have a completely silent workstation I kind of went oh yeah right this is always being claims but as soon as you put a fan or a pump in a system it is not silent and for that matter even this one with no moving parts in the cooling system is not silent because you can hear a little bit of electrical noise and like electrical switching noise in the power supply even though this is nothing close to what I would consider to be coil whine but what it is is phenomenally quiet like to the point where you can only hear that stuff because it's so quiet and even more impressively this is where I really got shot GPU temps at 99 percent usage of 65 degrees 65 degrees CPU package temperatures of 55 degrees it not only is a silent cooler but it actually outperforms most other cooling solutions that I have seen sort of like high-end water cooling with like a triple or quadruple radiator of course I don't entirely expect you guys to take my word for it so I'm going to fire up my digital sound level meter and let's fire up our game okay so this tells us not a whole hell of a lot other than that when I talk even from over here we see peaks of about 80 decibels we need to get somewhere quieter away from our server room what is this a computer I've never seen I keep sync this ball is like a car heat sink it's actually nothing like a car heat sink car heat sinks have a very high fin per inch count why are these not aligned I'm there any cats at the office they would be all over this thing it's probably true it's just good to just gaff tape it just gaff like that on half tape it that won't work you don't go get the gaff tape I will forget it let's just move it I know that I'm having a great time where are we going okay but you're in the wrong spot hey it is quieter back here okay so at about 35 decibels this is the quietest spot in our warehouse so we'll plug the system in and power it on and that made no difference whatsoever okay well that's cool Linus it actually works holy cow how do I get one um that's kind of a complicated answer they say and I believe them because if you look closely at their website this is clearly the exact same system that's in all of their promotional materials that this is the only prototype in existence right now I suspect this is just kind of like a weird side project for one of the people who works there but they do have plans beyond the availability of this configuration if you buy a whole system if you like contact them for pricing they do have plans to release something in the future for they're saying about five hundred bucks for the cooler and a custom enclosure that you'd be able to integrate your own system into my figure that'll be available sometime around CES of this year but in the meantime this is a very cool proof-of-concept and a very heavy proof of concept and I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of holy a legitimately fanless computer well there's lots of fanless computers but this one has a GTX 1080 in it so thanks for watching guys if you just like this video hit that dislike button but if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed maybe even consider checking out where to button okay you won't be buying one of these on anytime soon but uh we have our link to Amazon in the video description also in the video description we've got our merch store we can buy cool shirts like this one we've got our community forum which you should totally join and probably other things to go check it out it's great highly recommend it what do I else do I normally say right when you're done doing all that stuff you can check out our
