so the last time I did my $50 water-cooling loop video I actually failed in that the temperatures were just too bad where the CPU was overheating this time around however I'm going to vlog the whole process of what I've done to fix this water cooling loop and also tell you guys the temperatures this time around so last time the water loop failed the $50 water loop however this time around I am going to be sanding this back until it's pretty much as flat as it can get and then I'm gonna be measuring out the sockets on this motherboard and also this GPU and then making up some custom brackets for it so we're going to give this round to and let's give it a shot all right so we're just going to pause right here and we can see by looking at this how just convex shaped these coolers really are now convex is pretty much a terrible thing because the center is going to be the furthest away from the actual heat spreader so we're going to keep sanding this until the whole thing shiny and that means it will be relatively flat so now we're going to cut out the brackets for the water blocks check out my demo diem offs so I've marked out the blocks now for drilling and I've also got these three mil screws from the hardware store and they can see here they fit perfectly so that's really good so we're all good to go now with brown phase two of this all right so we're just going to empty the loop now because I need to measure up the blocks so I can cut it through the brackets so let's get that done okay so looking inside this block here you can see that there's like no fins really there's just these little bumps and I mean that's pretty terrible for the performance but we'll do our best to get this thing working okay so we've measured out the blocks now and we're going to start drilling all right so I was filling up the water loop and it's just leaking at two points and that being the points where this crap eBay clear tubing is connected so I'm going to change that for the engine hose stuff and then we're going to get back to it so rather than emptying the loop out I'm just tipping it upside down now since it was the bottom point as you can see there the water is cleared out of this pipe so I'll be able to hopefully hot change it though I seriously do not recommend doing this but you know I just want to save some time because I'm tired I'm on your master bed so let's do it so our loop is now pretty much full I'm just going to close it off and then shake the case around to get any air bubbles out and we hopefully should be good to go all this time women have been keeping us out of the loop on how to use a hair dryer so there we have it the $50 water cooling loop is now officially working though the amount of time I spent to get this thing working just simply was not worth it and I couldn't recommend this to anyone still because those temperatures are still a little bit high especially for water cooling I mean the GPU was going up to around 55 to 60 degrees depending on the ambience and then the CPU was around that as well they keep in mind though a good air cooler something like a $30 and a max T 40 would do just as well as this CPU core water cooling loop and when I check the radiator temperatures as opposed to the CPU temperatures for instance we were still getting radiator temperature of about 35 degrees which is really good for a radiator and then contrast that to the actual CPU core temps we can see that the blocks still weren't efficient enough and they still weren't picking up enough heat now it's probably due to the design I mean when I got a close glimpse in there I can see that it was pretty much just these little bumps and that's pretty much pathetic for a water cooling block so anyway the water cooling box they do connect properly now to the GPU die and the CPU it's just that the temps are still a little bit low I also have to pretty much call this a $60.00 loop now because I had to spend some extra money on materials like bolts and would play and sandpaper and whatnot so there it is guys the concept does work though honestly for what it's worth I yeah I guess it was just a lot of fun and a big learning process but what I'm trying to say is when it comes to water cooling you just can't skimp on some of those parts unless you want really mediocre performance even for the money and so that's what we had this time around the CPU blocks even though I sanded them back there's still garbage that pump is still a little bit weak and also things like that clear tubing that you get off eBay be very careful with that stuff I mean some of the stuff that I got was just straight-up junk however the radiator the reservoir and the you know car hosing was pretty good and I can recommend that stuff so stay tuned for the upgraded addition of this water loop where I will be spending a budget of around 100 to 150 still haven't decided yet but hopefully I'll get much better results next time around so I look forward to giving you guys that video also as opposed to the build I will be doing a showcase of that build very soon even though it will be pretty much the worst price performance use build I've done on the channel it doesn't matter I've got to show the negatives just like I show the positives I guess that's something that is the theme around here I don't want to just be like hey guys we're winning all the time know this was a big loss and it was just one of those builds that you kind of just want to put in the closet and just forget about it forget you ever made it and don't tell anyone about it even though I'm telling you guys about it probably wondering about the overclocks on this platform and they weren't that high and that was due to another reason to do with the actual memory that I used and it took me a long time to figure this out but essentially I got hosed from an eBay seller selling 800 megahertz memory as 667 megahertz and on this platform it's crucial to have that 800 megahertz memory if you want to overclock the LGA 771 Zeon's the GPU however that was just bound by the silicon lottery I did manage to get around a 10% overclock on that and even then it was running really well with temps going around about max 260 degrees which is pretty good and I was happy with that sort of guys that's about it for me today if you like this video then please give it a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about today's video then be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and yeah if you haven't already subscribed attack your city bro because there's gonna be more of this stuff coming every day truth be careful of what you buy on eBay I bought some 800 megahertz memory and it was only 667 megahertz and that caused me a lot of frustration when it came to overclocking this platform a lot of frustration that wasted time it's not coming back it's gone forever but I did learn a lesson dude like seriously don't sing again Brella hey you're watching the bloopers I didn't force you to watch this section is only the beginning but I've already gone and lost my mind I feel I'm making daisy chains and day and night and seek did you hear that bit the paint you playin Oh God this is a tech video that's right this is a tech video more bloopers
