Air Conditioner make PC go Brrr

Brian the Electrician: A more single-skill focussed, and qualified Linus.

Man, this took me back to my time as a mechanical engineer for a custom manufacturer. Days of planning and design work followed by the inevitable hours spent in the machine shop doing sketchy hacks (complete with maniacal laughter) to solve unforseen problems. I love it when they do videos of these crazy ideas.

We need more Brian content, this guy just makes me smile whenever I see him in an episode, kinda like Anthony

Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) youtube.com/post/UgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVy… . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.

"Yo, what's the CPU temp?" "Negative forty degrees." "Celsius or Fahrenheit?" "Yeah."

Man, just hire him already. i want to see more brian, he is so chill.

As an HVAC guy there were some things rough to watch but awesome project

I love this content and I need more like it. Jank engineering is what I live for. This is the most entertaining thing I've watched in a long while

That is the calmest reaction to anyone breaking a tap in a finished machined part. "Welp, my tap just broke" 🤷‍♂️

As a physicist, and a huge nerd, I would REALLY want to see Alex and Brian do some more crazy projects together. If Linus is ok to fund their shenanegans, they could make some pretty amusing contraptions, it's like working for the ol'Mythbusters crew :D

I missed this video , but as an Xtreme overclocker . I really loved watching this video ! Thank you guys ! Love seeing some subzero prep work with the fabercastle ( Art Eraser ) and Vas . Please do a video with some LN2 with a custom Pot :)

Love these extreme cooling vids! Ever tried inverting the test bench so the condensation drips on the ground and not the mobo?

It's great to see another episode of "LTT Cooling Experiments"! Even more so that this one wasn't cut short by Linus not having time and we actually got to watch problems being fixed, not just "works for this video, will fall apart later" fixed.

i love how brian is just laughing and giggling throughout the entire first part of the video lmaoo

Brian is such a chill guy. Pun intended. Makes a mistake, laughs it off, learns from his mistake, very constructive and good at what he does... basically the guy you want in every team set to handle a project.

This is the best type of content this channel puts out, that and Anthony talking about random things, those are two video types I could watch everyday.

Good call from Brian on making a (bit of an) orifice on the copper tube end. That tube opening was quite large, leading to an inefficient throttling. You want a very small opening (relatively) for a good Joule-Thompson (adiabatic expansion of gas) effect. Also, a tip: put the motherboard in a big box en put either dry ice or a container of liquid nitrogen in there. The sublimated/evaporated gas will push out any 'normal' air and keep most of the moisture out. And finally: CPU temp sensors typically can't report negative numbers, so will just say 0.

Brian and Alex are seriously a great duo, you can see the chemistry between them, definitely want to see more of them soon

Wow.. I love this video. Love Alex and Brian doing projects together!

Huge effort in this video - well done!
