Whole Room Water Cooling Project Day 3 - Radiator Mounting and Panic...

2014-12-24
be proud about it man what is this what like walk braised leg a good way this is Issa Sid this is Donna pull dispenser from ton of iron Canada from the Merritt Caturday you told us this is a whole room water cooling project through my practice looks is crazy typical - Media Group's tile with the original plan powering the fans on the radiators was actually gonna be pretty straightforward because they were gonna be relatively close to the limit of opening but with the new plan putting them down on a little roof overhang getting power to them was actually gonna be a bit of a challenge so I came up with an idea we were going to use part of the original plan which was Swift tech eight port fan splitters and then we were going to use one of those handy little wall power to 4-pin molex connectors and mount it down there in a way that it would be safe from the weather and then silicone over all the connections and all that so that they don't corrode so we needed a new plan and I came up with something that I thought was gonna work we actually had one of those like wall power 2 2 2 amp 12-volt power supplies and I was like okay well it wasn't until the next morning that I grabbed that adapter and realized it's only 2 amps I wonder if that's even going to be enough to power all the fans so I ran inside check the SPAC on the box for the fans and realized that each fan is 0.1 amps that means that with 20 fans on five quadruple radiators we need exactly two amps going through our splitters and out to the fans so my bacon got saved there it's just barely enough okay Luke's dad was here till 4:00 a.m. getting all the copper piping installed we got the radiator mount finished the night before all the systems are pretty much built they just need some more quick disconnects so this is the day that it all has to come together because Nick Luke and Brandon are all leaving at the end of the workday like there's no stay late and they're going to pax to do show coverage there so coming into the office in the morning we set out some goals okay we want to have the radiator on the roof by noon we want to have the room cleaned up and the desks rearranged we need to run water through the copper piping and get the soldering flux out of there and we need to have all the systems tubing connected by the end of the day ready to show it off furgus so one of my interview questions were how do you feel about going up on the roof which I didn't know I was doing so I don't know as far as I had understood considering it's on the fascia boards we were putting a ladder against the side of the house and I wasn't the one doing it those two things were pretty key even we could even take the screen out of the window probably just lean out and do it that way but apparently we're going on the roof so hopefully I'm able to check in in a little while for now consider I'll be hanging off the side of a roof trying to install a radiator on fascia board which makes no sense I have no idea where the idea that Luke was going on the roof came from he wouldn't even be able to install the radiators from there that's just to pick that's it we're gonna use a ladder from the ground I found out about this same time as everyone else did I have a little bit not really what it's for now got your head oh hi maybe the water draining will make it slightly lighter the radiator assembly ended up being incredibly heavy and there wasn't much we could do in terms of pre installation because we hadn't actually been up there yet before we cut all of the wood and figured out how we were going to mount it so I had to go up the ladder first with building materials like you know drill and two-by-fours find somewhere to put those which ended up being like a little lip for for rainwater being redirected and then I had to carry that entire radiator set up up the ladder which was extremely difficult I was actually on the top of the ladder thinking that I was stuck for quite a while because both of my hands were on the radiator and I didn't have enough leverage to bring it up onto the roof without putting too much strain on the ladder so that it would move to the side and it was only by having someone hold the ladder really securely at the bottom and creeping my hand out I was able to bring it up onto the roof because it was enough on there that for me to bring it down would have been a huge momentum swing this way and for me to bring it up would have moved the ladder so it was I was pretty scary getting it up there but once it was there I was actually able to rest it on the roof and aside from needing someone to hand me tools from the window above because I could I'd nowhere to store everything it was pretty straight forward from there keyboards huh the next step is to secure this to that oh my battery is uh it's no bueno let's find out if my eyeballing work oh yes it did we sent David for lumber um and then I don't remember whose suggestion it was but we realized that having it mounted out there insects could potentially be a huge problem so we we sent him to go get some mesh that we could glue on to the intake on the radiator so that we could hopefully keep bugs out of it now I in my wisdom thinking that we had an entire roll of this mesh used the mesh that I had already cut to size to wipe off this extremely goopy adhesives not realizing that a that was all the mesh we had and be home depot was out of stock that was the last one that they had so when we sent David back to the store to buy more mesh they didn't even have any that was an appropriate size and they're out of stock for two weeks so I'm just gonna join here I was like you want studfinder he's like now I know it was a blank up there I was like oh okay reader oh my god I would I wouldn't be upset except that it's exactly the same exactly the same number of times is the pump powerful enough I don't know you tell me that's so not so sure at this point kind of sound chair I know is one full is there any settings I know all these okay pronouncing that is not bad right we're getting on Thea we were getting a lot of bubbles are still getting a lot of those ladies if this happens and you have that much Swift's tech was a great choice for us for this project because they have some of the parts that we need that are pretty unique so they have all the quick disconnect fittings that we need very high quality they have the compression fittings we need they have the water blocks that we need they've got their latest Apogee excel they also have their Komodo NV l e which is what we're using to liquid cool all the Titans and finally this is really important they have their radiator reservoir combo unit that we're using to avoid installing one additional component a reservoir inside each of the systems so that will allow us to detach the systems from the holder in liquid cooling loop and then run them on their own either if for some reason we need to do maintenance on the loop or if in the winter instead of removing the heat from the room we want to kick the heat from the systems into the room to actually warm it up a little bit you can put of a year how many custome and and then this is going to go straight up I'll cut it at some point clamp it to the wall and then if there's an overflow it will go up here and everything will be okay instead of it fooling him Oh put it on then that's our calibrates there okay cool I've literally always guess not that look from - it's okay I have to hang a painting of this wedding for his wife put that down I will it needs a cycle a better thing yeah what no no water is just that like it it's going now yeah did you just turn the pump off no pump is still on for sure okay good get it some more water more water be ready again okay okay okay judging by how fast it goes out of that fill tube like it's pushing okay are we do we need to top up the tube one more time I kind of come down or what's up we can maybe give it a really short shot okay water okay stop okay then I can are you just talking cycling yeah Nancy let me make it's it's pushing water you just can't really tell with three one wait are we out of water in the filter yeah but if you like you know I'm pretty sure there's still water in the Reds okay that is blue I don't think my stuck in your bubble stuff there's a lot of bubbles let me help ya they stopped for a while now they're starting again there's a lot of a particular family there's adware from the copper really yeah what everyone part from the tea right by the door on the hot hot side let me pick some kinda supplies all right dripping green - is there any crease oh you rested it looks okay blue be right there okay get the shirt or something we can't just leave in you where is the shirt in the singing sorry a serious yeah I didn't see any solder that was one of the last joints he did so that was that like three thirty years of me okay yes not it oh oh I love it it kind of feels like a movie in her documentary yeah one of the one off the Coolermaster Knapton 240m features an exclusive pump design and their new Silencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance click now to learn more it I never saw come too much fun crush and you through so you
