I bet Cooler Master, Corsair, Noctua and SilverStone are laughing their asses off right now.
After watching this video they are going to upgrade their manufacturing process.
Wyrdak to the linus method
Yeah, but ThermalTake just "invented" a new cooler design XD
Their anus cringed so hard it tore a ligament.
Peter Caron They really don't care
I just blow on my cpu when I render videos, sometimes I spit on it to keep it cool
Solar Minima You sir made my night .
I fry my eggs on it
Literally
Spitting is also for reminding the CPU who's the boss
Solar Minima Do NOT spit on your CPU, it is terribly inefficient. Slowly pour blue Koolaid on it instead.
"I think we need a constant flow of WD40 in this" ----- Linus discovers machining
using heat based glue on a device thats intended to get hot... now thats engineering
Shawn Pepin hot glue cools really fast
Zephir il ventilatore chiassoso using glue that melts when it gets hot...on a device that gets hot. I’m not sure if it gets hot enough to melt the glue, but it’s not a good idea
Evan Wolfla hot glue melts at 120°C.
It melts at less. and gets soft really fast.
You would be amazed at the things I've seen actual engineers do.
This is like a PC builder's episode of Top Gear.

Hey Linus... Take it from a computer builder who is also an auto mechanic...
When cutting Aluminum, use blades with less teeth per inch. The Aluminum plugs up the fine tooth blades.

They could also buy a bandsaw to not be complete metalworking scrubs.
Funny thing is they have a bandsaw, which they used to cut the insulation in the server room videos most recently D:
He has a bandsaw. I suspect they did it this way because it's more entertaining to see someone screwup.
+Some Punk
I get that it's funnier this way, but I think I'd have ragequit after like 2 minutes with a sawzall if I knew there was a bandsaw nearby.
If I had a bandsaw, I probably would not leave it ever. I'd do everything with that thing and we'd get married and have a thousand bandsaw children.
Sadly, I live in a small apartment. So no fancy power tools for me.
linus + Power tools, now THAT's a scary thought...
Linus + High Power Saw = Tech Chainsaw Massacre
Next... give him a gas-powered chain saw or concrete saw. I'd watch that.
for a sec i thought he was gonna break it or somehow hurt himself
Yeah lmfao, he could make his own things!
Why didnt he use a angle grinder?
Linus: That's the stuff that smells
Everyone without smell-o-vision: Thanks for the heads up
WD-40 is not a lubricant, it's a solvent. "WD" stands for water displacement. That's why fluid film worked far better.
Thanks chemistry helper
Whats the 40 for?
Derek St. Laurent fluid film is awesome. I'm so glad I discovered it. and yeah, wd is not a lube. too many people use it as one though.
40 stands for overpriced.
it was the 40th iteration of the formula. the creator was tasked with creating something to prevent corrosion on missile casings while in long-term storage in their silos. the first 39 attempts failed, or weren't satisfactory.

Oh not the Horrorhuhn(Horrorchicken) Meme from Germany, its so unoriginal...
quick tip about the zip ties: they are usually made of Nylon. Nylon can literally dry out, when dry it becomes quite brittle. Soak the ties in a bag of warm water for a few days (I usually let them sit for a solid week) and they are good as new.
Where I work we usually go through 3-4k per year so letting a bag or two sit for a week is not that big of a deal for me.
1stGruhn Thanks for sharing that. It is annoying when I try one after another and each of them keeps snapping.
Glad to help :)
the same goes for string trimmer line too! keeping it from drying out makes it last longer during use. I found this out when I got a used string trimmer gifted to me, and I can't find a spool head for it, so I needed to make the fixed 18" length last as long as possible
What do you do for work where you are dealing with that many ties?
I work as a groundskeeper and we use zip ties to keep windscreens on the fences around the tennis courts. We have 12 courts. If we used stronger ties, the wind would take the fence down since the windscreens act like a sail (it has to catch the wind to block it). Its cheaper to replace the ties than the fence.
Why not use a new cube of aluminium and attach 5 AIO water coolers (Corsair Hydro, NZXT Kraken etc.) to the 5 exposed sides of the cube?
That would be interesting.
Lmao xD
No, use copper and make fins. Soak the fins in gallium. Pump the gallium as a coolant in the radiator
He should try gallium or conductonaut as a coolant in a custom loop w/o a reservoir.
@@gamegame2179 And use a aluminum radiator? XD
No, you didn't make your own cooler, you made AMD's old stock cooler.
the cooler that came with my FX 8350 looks decent
alex alcala ortiz I think he means the old 2000 amd coolers , my athlon had similar
Lol, yep. I was thinking the same thing. Still have one I saved since there's a big chunk of aluminum there.
hey my old amd cooler worked find, on my old athlon II oh wait it was only a dual core
it look's like the stock K O O L E R on a dell from the early 2000's
get a plastic cup, fill the cup with liquid nitrogen, place the cup on the CPU, run some bench tests, happiness for days.
Yeah until it evaporates
c72784 melted plastic doesnt make people happy
use a metal cup then itd be cool
Imagine how brittle the plastic will be after exposing it to nitrogen
how can heat transfer on plastic? u stupid or what?
Still not as sketchy as your server room
zoolookers they updated it in a of course 3 part vid
THEIR server room isn't as sketchy as your spelling
*their
Jessica Because think I'm slowly turning autistic
'Their'? The property lease is in Linus' name, and the hardware is his. 'Your' is the proper grammar. 'Their' implies shared ownership.
I've been a broke ass gamer for a while and Ive had to make my own heatsinks with toothpaste thermal compound, the minty kind, so it runs cooler, don't think about it, makes sense.
for the heatsink using aluminum cans makes better fins. just fold the sheets over to make them stand straight, and weld them together at the bottom with some melted aluminum.
and a pencil can repair most broken circuits as graphite is conductive.
but if you live in a rather populated place people throw away their old office machines all the time when they stop turning on, or shut themselves off for thermal reasons, so its way easier to just get on your bike and look for some old ones, be it the hard drive broke when the kids knocked it off the table, the CPU or case fans died, or just there was too much dust in there and it ran hot, most computers you will find are an easy fix, but you will probably have better parts so salvage the stuff you need, such as a cheap heatsink.
the rest you can gather and melt down with a simple smelter, and over time sell to a scrap metal place, the copper from all the cables will net a good bit of cash depending on how much you find. the aluminum is too cheap to be worth selling as scrap so save that up and practice being artistic with it, I made wall hanger swords myself, you get a lot of free leather from couches sitting by dumpsters, which will make the sword have a more premium look and feel, especially if you strip some of those power cables and make a decorative copper wire wrap, just remember to use some cooking oil to keep the air from dulling the aluminum and copper. this will make a good $50~80 per sword/dagger which will buy you a brand new thing of what ever you needed. just be careful with molten metals.
I don't know whether that's cool or horrifying.
@Kugelspecht Einhorn do you mean adam savage
You're the most ghetto person I've ever seen. Surprisingly even more than me
epic
Now that is a pasta
4:19 No, what you really need is a freakin' CNC MACHINIST!
Or somebody with real skill that could do it by hand. Though those people are rare now
yeah cnc that was my thought also
Or a forge and a mold...
@@spacegarnaal indeed, those skills are in short supply now
I dont know why he didn't use a angle grinder.
Now all u need is a block of copper of the same size and compare both :p
way cheaper too.
Copper is 3.3 times the density of Aluminum, and 3.1 times the price by weight. The same block would cost about 10 times as much.
holy shit o.o
But it is more conductive, so you might get out with smaller heatsink in the end.
Aluminium is extremely easy to work with. Cutting all that out of a solid block of copper would be quite a bit tougher.
I don't think CoolerMaster uses this manufacturing method...:-P
Caddy Guy Gaming Imagine, a world where everything was assembled by hand? Heatsinks would have pretty darn steep prices.
Also massive wait lists for products. Backorder would be the norm.
Germany would be the no.1 manufacturer.
also modern computers would not exist at all.
MyBrothersMario I thought about that before. It would be pretty hard to make IC's by hand.
i would pay good money for a LinusTechTips sketchy heatsink!
What's that smell? 4:55 Oh thanks!
Flynn Kelsey yeah I was wondering too
It must have been the paint coming off. I was wondering why I was getting high.
Better way to make a heatsink at home is sheetmetal. Just stuck bunch of plates together, drill 2 holes trough them, secure together with screws and make base surface flat. Result is similar to Zalman CNPS3100. It is easy, fast and preformance was good.
As he was setting up the project, I was thinking this exact thing.
Let's just agree that Linus' affected clowning nonattempts at fabrication are insulting and very much frowned upon.
This is the best idea in the comments so far
I was thing he could have used a taller block of aluminium and use a chop saw instead of a reciprocating saw, cleaner and faster cuts (if he had to do it this way). I think copper would have been better though.
Best idea so far for diy air cooler.
Alright, who in the hell gave Linus a power tool?
Lunk the engineering department
I think this one was Edzel actually. It's his style of filming instead of Lukes
LOL Thinking the same here.
Phi6er he has to cross 4.000 km of land and 8.000 of ocean so I won't run
I think we all thought that exact same thing lol
Maybe drilling loads of holes across and down so far in to the metal would work, like swiss cheese or same principle on brake rotors :D
As long as you have horizontal holes, yeah, the thought crossed my mind. Maximise surface area and air flow
Ok, im gunna start machining custom CPU air coolers. I'll be taking orders tomorrow. It will include a tube of "Mystery paste"
I approve the paperwork.

You could do better with a vertical milling machine.
Kenzer 161 That would be too proper.
Linus, WD40 is not a lubricant/coolant
It works well for drilling
Vax Buster it's a penetrating fluid, not a lubricant. As he learned in the video you just finished watching, it's not great for lubrication.
Vax Buster I'm an engineering/technology and design student and one of the first things I got told when cutting steel/aluminium was to use a coolant/lubricant but much the opposite to common knowledge that WD40 is not a suitable coolant/lubricant... an oil is usually better depending on machining process depends really on type...
WD 40 is fine for light duty drilling at home. you were probably told not to use WD 40 because you likely work in a more industrial setting, were real cutting fluid/lube is sometimes required. in some ones home shop, the speeds and feeds are not great enough to the point were it matters what you use for lube or if you use lube at all.
I've always used Rapid Tap for drilling and cutting (except when turning, milling and band sawing where I use proper oil based coolant), however something was not right for it to not cut so easily. Aluminium is very easy to hacksaw. Also those TIG gloves are way over the top for this
Linus working on that cooler was like looking at a "drink this beer after a rough work day" commercial
Hilarious Linus! from your ol' Physics teacher!
Lui Zucchetto really??
Plopstoper Games I have seen a number of your tech videos and have enjoyed them all.
Lui Zucchetto I don't make tech Vida you mean Linus right
Plopstoper Games rigjt
You can cut aluminum on a table saw........
Great job engineering department.
Or a bandsaw, and we saw in his server room video that they have one.
Oscar Anderson Ffs, really they have a bandsaw and DIDN'T think to use it?
Forest Brynes They would need a special blade for metal, they were probably trying to use what they had lying around; and they probably didn't realize that they could.
table saw blades are usaully a lot thicker than a sawzall blade.
I thought he had a neighbor with a metal CNC machine?
That's what I was thinking. Hope they make a follow up video, where they make their own CPU heatsink more properly.
Not everybody has a neighbor with a metal CNC machine though
Ian Hunt that was from their old studio. they moved out remember?
NiloGamingOP no at his house not the studio
The point of this video was that we can see how everyone can do it.
"We don't know what the point of this was...but it was fun, wasn't it?!"
That's a pretty good summary of most of LTT episodes. XD
Seeing Linus with an electric saw is like seeing him in Gears of war...
runs better than my laptop which turns off when running minecraft
lmfao
IzDaBait lol I had a laptop like that too lmfao
I have the same issue, except instead of a laptop it's a girlfriend that turns off when I play minecraft.
probably just needs new thermal compound
clean the poor thing
Ran better than my old computer that turned off when running the BIOS.
*puts hot glue something that gets hotter than the glue gun*
Nope. Even the crappy home-safe hot glue guns hit 120 degrees centrigrade to melt the sticks. If your CPU heatsink ever got that hot, your CPU would have already caught fire and burned your house down and killed you. Way to fail at science!
yeah but its still not a great idea to put hot glue on things that get hot
You're pretty special ain't ya
That heatsink is going to get hotter than 248f?
Hot glue is actually used for strain relief in electronics and is also used near hotter parts. However, not all hot glues are the same chemistry and some have higher melting points than others. Thus, just make sure to use the proper glue for the proper application, and you're good to go.
Wow, I was blown away by the performance of this puppy... I was thinking the cpu won't post at all.
2:48 welcome to the whiskey vault, today we drink extremely high proof whiskey while Linus handles dangerous -weapons- saws

This is the filler? I thought the lazier videos were just necessary to keep these going.
'and a little bit of filing to take the really rough edges off.' such professionalism!
Linus you forgot the glitter. A Linustechtip diy video isn't complete without swag.
Anyone else preemptively cringe when Linus took out a power-tool?
yes thats the joke and why he does it congrats
:)
rider147b Is a sawsaw supposed to be dangerous
Sawsaw? I think you mean Sawzall. And any power-tool in Linus' hands is dangerous lol
Sevro Au Barca i mean it can be but not really if you arent an idiot when it comes to tools and physics...
ím surprised that linus didn't baseline the cooling ability with just the hunk of aluminium. and disapointed at the same time.
Yeah I'm really curious about that as well. Just get the hunk of aluminium & roughen it up a bit, and get a fan blowing it
On* blowing ON it... Lol
"Just Raw Dog It" - Linus Media Group Engineering Section
reciprocating saw is my absolute favorite power tool. I use it for cutting down trees, walls in my house, and any other thing that needs cutting. GJ :D
I'm triggered. He used a Dewalt blade on a Bosch saw.
I'm triggered he used a dewalt blade in the first place
dewalt is for the mindless sheep. its way overrated.
L44tsmasher735
Milwaukee and Hilti
Dewalt blades are superior, that's why. Do some research on them. Firemen use them all the time. In fact, they have a special blade called Fire and Rescue which is the most superior blade on the market. Cuts anything and lasts the longest. And best of all, they're not too expensive if you buy them on eBay.
The only reason why he went through so many blades is because he went with the cheap soft metal ones. Didn't even go with carbide.
3d print a mold out of plastic, put it in some plaster or smth to make a negative, wait for it to cool and pour molten aluminium on it. Refine the rough edges on that shit and you are good to go.
Clever idea, but how in the world are you going to melt down aluminum safely?
have you melted it unsafely?
build a little can forge. It's really not that complicated
I'm sure Linus can think of something other than blowing it with a heatgun. It doesn't produce toxic fumes and it melts at relatively low temperatures for a metal
Most 3D-printing materials used by consumers are Thermoplasts which would deform and degrade quickly when heated up by molten aluminium which melts at 660°C. So yeah, not the greatest idea.
The closest you could do is 3D-print a model, create the negative out of casting sand and then cast the aluminium. Mind, however, that the fine shapes of a heatsink would be very hard to cast properly.
Looking forward to the DYI power supply video. I'm sure it will be electrify
Cooler master doesn’t use power tools to individually construct fins on a heatsink lol.
"youtube picks one, suggests you so the odds of you liking it are actually pretty good"
Suggested video: How to hide your porn
Gunlexify Same here.
Seems like a good video to me? Well in theory, cause I already know how to hide it.
god watching your channel after watching AvE can be so hard at times.
That heatsink ain't skookum at all.
and it's not much of a choocher either.
Keep your stick on the aluminum fins.
to be fair AvE isn't THAT much better of a machinist :P, but after watching Abom. Yea the cringe is real.
Got yourself a nice chunk'a chinesium, there
I'd love to see you guys make a beautiful homebrew heatsink in a CNC machine. Maybe it would even be a good one!
"So I've never used a reciprocating saw, but it looks really fun".
Famous last words Linus....
Why do people keep thinking that WD40 is a lubricant?
It is a solvent. Not a lubricant.
One can use WD40 for cleaning, remove moist, help removing corrosion etc, just like a solvent should.
One should NOT use WD40 as a lubricant.
WD40 REMOVES fat and oils, so it is NOT good for lubricating. Sure it'll remove the "squeaks" for a some time, but the parts that's been "lubricated" with WD40 will soon wear out due to lack of proper lubrication.
VERY basic engineering knowledge. Remember it.
SysGhost literally... WD means water displacement the 40 is the 40thformula they tried. Not. lubricant
It actually makes a decent lubricant for lathe work on aluminum.
Thanks, I learned something. This is a far too common misconception I realize now
I use it as a sexual lubricant and I haven't had any problems.
WD40, though commonly misused as a lubricant, is an excellent cutting fluid for aluminum.
The amount of people that think that WD40 is for lubricating is astounding
Assuming it doesn't catch on fire. Unlike WD40 (the actual oil, not the aerosol), lard is flammable.
Antherios people wouldn't use it if it wasn't a lubricant, seriously the number of people who believe this are astounding
Blox117 what I mean is people wouldn't use it AS a lubricant, if it was not one
WD40, water displacement, that's all its good for
Forest Brynes People shouldn't use heroin because it's bad for them but they still do.
6:06 THAT WAS THE LOUDEST "NO DUH" I HAVE NEVER HEARD!
im pretty suprised after he smashed the aluminum heatshink one the CPU heat spreader
Realistically, I think the only way you'd get something like this done without heavy-duty tools is to just drill as many holes as you could into the block. At least drilling is much easier, and if you got the hole density high enough it should work decently.
That's what I thought of. It would be a lot easier, work better AND at the same time would look at least not that terrible
TheStigma great minds think alike!
They make a mold out of a metal with a higher melting point and pour the aluminum in
then where would the air go?
they are not capable of doing that, unless they get some professional help lol
3:00 I expected you to let Dennis do it at this point.
PrimaPunchy lol
What you really need is a bandsaw (portable or stationary) to cut that heatsink.
That's not how you saw anything on a vice , its like pushing the peddles on a car with your hands.
Was cool, but the price of the saw blades is so high you might as well get a cm 212 for the same price.
Quesenek Hello I upload fun coding challenges and programming videos reguraly, give me a chance and/or a like :) thanks
Quesenek the reason he went through that many blades is because he didn't use a cutting lubricant...WD40 is not suitable for cutting
The sawblades shoudnt become dull if you use a proper lubricant. You can simply pull out the left over aluminium from the saw blades tooth, it just sticks in the gaps.
It is for aluminum. For steel... no.
better yet not start from a solid block of aluminum and just buy a sheet and cut it with little copper tubes going through them... like how CM and all the others do it...
Sketchy CPU Cooler? You mean the Water Cooled Server?
I would have liked to see a similar diy heatsink but instead of cutting fins with a reciprocating saw, drill a lattice into the block with a press.
The future is capturing one of those saw-blades on camera without accidentally looking like slow-mo.
In the next episode, Linus makes a CPU, crashing AMD stock overnight
I've always wanted to see someone build a heatsink based on a fractal curve. That would produce the mathematically maximal surface area. And it would probably look badass as hell. I've also wondered how effective a water cooling block would be if you could make a sponge-like block of copper (filled with tons of holes through which the coolant could circulate). That would similarly get surface area near maximal and spread the heat around pretty well. Not sure how to go about constructing that one though... the first I think could be done with a laser CnC and some creative welding (CnC cut out tons of koch snowflakes on a plane with like 1mm line breadth, .1mm thickness, then weld them to each other and fan them out or else weld them to a solid base).
Sponge like copper would also flow coolant terribly. Besides, when copper (or aluminum) is surrounded by water, the heat really doesn't make it all that far.
Sorry for ridiculous link....fractal heat sink:

I wish the Silent Power PC was a thing...
newatlas.com/silent-power-pc-passive-cooling/33145/
MrBiky Linus already reviewed a working silent, fan-free PC about 4 months ago. watch?v=9PJOrfpiVwE
My point was about the copper sponge concept, but for air (passive) cooling which I shared the link for.
I know there are a lot of passively cooled PCs: DIY solutions from Streacom (which Linus also reviewed a few years ago for NCIXTechTips, gift for Keys, or the recent one from Hardware Canucks which took a while to hit consumers), even more hardcore DIY solutions, like actually slapping heatsinks as big as the motherboard on the CPU, there are small PCs like MintBox 2 from CompuLabs and many more.
There aren't easy solutions to get, either they are hard to make (the full DIY solution), they are expensive (Streacom), they aren't very powerful (MintBox 2, Asrock Beebox, even again Streacom cases for Intel NUCs or even my Toshiba Encore WT8-A tablet could fit in the passively cooled mini-PC segment) or they are too big (the one Linus Reviewed). Not sure why passively cooling PCs is a niche market, but even so, I don't understand why cases are so expensive. They should be just as "cheap" as a high-end case (around $100 - $120, but they damn cost $200 - $300).
Drill a hole in the block,Tap threads into both sides. Attach hose to both threaded sides, run hose through beer cooler.Splice hose between pc and beer cooler. Now add a low voltage magnetic aquarium pump between the pc, and the cooler. Unit can only be operated when cooler is fully stocked :). A second larger cooler can be added as a desk for larger parties.
Just one question. Why not use a CNC mill?
Just add a 3D schematic, a couch and a cup of coffee - and here you have a professional grade heatsink..
fishigl Maybe not a cnc mill. But even a small bench mounted mill would have done just fine. Like Jesus, what is their problem with using tools not suited for the job.

@@MrAwesomeSquared Or just come mid-way. Angle grinder, thin blade, arm for the grinder that holds it steady for straight cuts. Not as neat but more effective than that stupid saw

I wonder how many office injury stories start with the line, "So we gave Linus power tools......"
Watching linus do metalwork is like watching a dog try to chew a toy that doesnt fit in their mouth.
hey linus it would be easier to melt the aluminum and cast it into a mold
stevwillsable brilliant! At what temp does aliminium melt?
660 degrees celcius
lol i do not know but, there are a lot of videos on youtube on how to smelt alluminum cans with a homemade smelters. and casting aluminu is apparently very easy. you can make a mold or you can use the ''fancy'' lost foam casting, i believe you do the mold with styrofoam. whatevs, easier that cutting threw an alluminum block and would probably make less of a mess. maybe linus should test my theory out lols. XD
I have a homemade forge and have made a few things out of aluminum (the aluminum from cans is not good for casting) and I'm telling you from my personal experience, just to make the mould could be a nightmare and the aluminum will cold down before it could fill the mould, don't get me wrong it could be done but it will require someting like a preheated mold in a centrifugal machine or a vacuum casting system and those things are another monster well beyond the DIY.
Would probably have better results on a milling machine with a slitting saw, would make quick work of it
Using a band saw table would yield much better resutls. Cool idea. Since I have access to a band saw table I'm going to give this a try. Going flatter and longer for a GPU.
Something i hope to never hear if i am ever within close proximity to Linus: "So I've never used a reciprocating saw..."
WD40 isnt a lubricant, it is primarily an anti-oxident to stop rusting. Thats why it took 40 iterations to make it.
-Rob, Someone who should be on techquickie but isnt.
It can be used as a lubricant, just not a good one. And it wears out as a lubricant very fast, which is why it's commonly referred as an emergency lubrication, Heavy duty silicon-spray works better
Yeah its more of a "Semi-lubricant"
Rob Awesome I think it collects more dust and dirt too.
wrong, their website says what you said, is a myth and that WD40 is actually a lubricant with many purposes. You clearly shouldn't be on techquickie if you are wrong about something as simple as whats on WD40's own website.......lmao
Don't believe everything you see on websites. Rob here is probably speaking (well, writing) from experience and I can confirm that fact with my own experience. WD40 is an okay lubricant, but only for a very short amount of time. I mostly use it for un-sticking jammed bolts. I have used it on a bone-dry bike chain, but it only stayed there for a few hours of driving. That allowed me to get rid of most of the rust, though, without destroying the gears. After that, teflon grease did the job of actual lubrication.

I am still waiting for that day I see a video where a heatsink covers a whole motherboard.
Best first time user of a reciprocating saw I've seen. Most pple let the saw reciprocate more than the blade. Nice work Linus.
C'mon louis, do another episode where you at least try to do it right, cast the aluminum
louis
Dark Siper louis
louis
linus rossman and louis sebsation are the giants of the tech youtube industry.
Louis Tech Tips has gone to shit recently
How Linus hasn't lost an appendage after all this time is beyond me
If you have a drill press you could take the drill press drill a bunch of really straight holes and clean it up on a band saw or just use a file
It was fun wasn't it, and then he smiles haha, Gotta love your channel Linus lol
Just give your CPU a cigarette, some condoms and alcohol. Then it will be a super cool CPU...
$3 worth of aluminum and an old CPU fan...
... plus $50 worth of saw blades.
Intel stock cooler engineers:
WRITE THAT DOWN!
Wow, I would love to see what happens if you use a really big one.
WD-40 is not cutting fluid. Cutting fluid is cutting fluid.
dude, Linus tech tips is like the top gear/grand tour of computers
yes I'm high
This feels like seeing a real life version of Kerbal space programs engineering team
Normally LinusTechtips can be dry at times, but I loved this video :D
Linus make another one with Heatpipes.....! OMGBBQ maaan
were you using metal cutting blades? cuz those look like the wood cutting variety
with the right blades you'd be cutting through that -almost like- a hot knife through butter
wearetheannialatrix it's Linus, he never uses what he is supposed to
yes, very valid point.
They were wood blades, metal ones are very thin and have a ton of blades on them with almost no spacing. But metal cutting blades are also way more expensive.
Aluminum is soft enough that wood cutting blades will work well enough without galling up. Just have to keep the RPMs up and keep the feed rate low.
Having used a sawsall, yes they used metal blades, wood blades are twice as long. they didnt get the best metal blades, but it was metal blades (designed for cutting copper piping, not aluminum blocks)
$2 aluminum, $150 for recip saw, $100 blades, $50 lube, and two days of cutting = a dinky quad core barely able to keep from melting Linus's heat sink. Brilliant.
"I never used a reciprocating saw before.. ow, and its plugged in!"- Linus 2017, RIP
