YES PUT IT IN A SYSTEM I'd love to see those two circular grommets on the back of some cases actually useful for something.

The casual way Linus uses the phrase "goatse stretch" will forever haunt my dreams.

"The worst part about this is that this loop will perform significantly better than yours". I laughed so hard :D :D. The delivery

Yes Linus, I would like to see this cooler cannibalized and integrated into a system. Put your minions to work immediately.

Just as I was thinking "wow they're actually doing something a legit way", Alex goes "you want to just stick the tubes in and duct tape it off?"
@monkeycage2961 3 years ago

seeing alex go from this unboxing to the best unboxings on short circuit is astounding

Finally a proper cooling solution for the 2018 MacBook Pro.

Use this same setup but drop the motherboard into a mineral oil bath, maybe that'll cancel out the moisture issue? Be like a double crazy setup; liquid chiller mineral oil bathed threadripper 2. Kind of a catchy name actually.

Combined waterloop for several serverchips would be a practical idea .You have to balance the heat from the chips vs the btu of the chiller and so on , add a radiator to the loop and keep the chips at ambient roomtemperature (18 degrees celcius) to prevent condensation. So the chips remain cool but not cold.

"That's a real man's pump. It'll give you lots of head...pressure." Linus knew exactly what he was doing. 😂

Planning on putting together a 24/7 chilled setup soon-ish, in the research phase. This was oddly helpful to visual what I'll be using
