2013-07-24
hey YouTube welcome back to tech yes it is brown easy coming back to you guys today with a quick video on how to spot a dead water cooler so this is a sip absolute 290 now it's an ace tech sort of base model water cooler it is a small block mortal and I've only been using this for 14 months so I'll show you guys how to basically you know my computer was running at 4.2 gigs and all the sudden I just cut off so the I didn't even know I was playing a game and they say the thermal protection thing from the Intel CPU kicked in and just cut off and then I default I put it back to default clocks and when I booted up my machine this is what happened I'll show you so you can see here I'll show you the temps before we get into Windows 27 degrees ambient in here so it's not too hot I mean it's not like I'm sweating my ass off but I'll show you guys here yeah like it won't even boot so that's you see there won't even but it'll just shut off so that's a dead cooler right there anyway that's pretty dangerous I shouldn't be doing this anymore but that's yet how to spot a dead water cooler so you just fill the radiator and the radiator should be pretty damn hot as well which is exactly what's happening so I'm going to change this cooler now to the default Intel heatsink just for now anyway until I fix this problem okay so I've put the stock intel heat sink fan back on and as you can see it's all running fine you have to be very careful like I mean see how my chip cut out on you guys saw that on video you know every time that happens you can risk breaking your chip so be very careful I'm very lucky that my chip is still alive like you know there so you can see at 27 degrees ambient again and you know real temps this is with a stock heatsink fan so it's idling it you know 35 38 37 it's fine basically the you know the Intel stock heatsink fan is better than this broken piece of crap here so yeah guys if you have any questions about this video please let me know comments comment in the comment section below but yeah if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and be careful with these water coolers this is only 14 months and it's dead so I mean 14 months is a joke so I was really you know not to mention you risk damaging your components so that's the worst part you know xxx this is a $30 cooler but I thought from sis that would have been a good you know product but obviously not so anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this video I'm a bit sad you know 14 months damn so I think I might just stick to either make a custom water cooling loop which I can't in Japan because no one sells the parts or just stick to a normal heat sink fan not this one but like you know something like maybe an hour max tea for tea or something I'm a bit sad and still a little bit sick but we guys hope you enjoyed this video and peace out for now wait
