    One of the most common questions that follows "should I water cool my PC" is "will it leak?" Luckily, regardless of whether you're already using a full custom loop on your graphics card, CPU, and all, or just thinking of starting up a simple loop, we now have a device that claims to answer that question definitively.

      It's amazing how much water you can get on your motherboard and still have it work. I forgot to tighten one fitting, and dripped water down the side of the CPU socket, and right down the rest of the mother board, and once I let it dry out, it all worked perfectly.
      Except the SATA port that still had water in it. That didn't work.

      Definitely. I once forgot to tighten a fitting on my personal loop enough to make a watertight seal. Didn't know until I realized my reservoir level kept dropping rather quickly, and had to find it with UV lighting. This thing would not only have told me, but given me real-time feedback as I test each fitting so that I can narrow down where the leak is and have near immediate confirmation when I'd have fixed it.

    As a person studying mechanical engineering, this is a really cool display of concepts we learn in fluid mechanics. Im guessing in order for it to prevent fluid motion outside the tubes, it is trying to pull a vacuum in the reservoir. Im curious how they account for changes in pressure caused by turbulent flow in the pipes when a hole opens in a tube.

    • @garmack12
      @garmack12 3 роки тому +33

      300 millibar is equivalent to 0.3 atm or 120 inches of water so back pressure and resistance to flow are not likely to be issues in this application. I doubt any pump used in pc water cooling has the head to overcome that level of back pressure or the power to drive fluid at flow rate to generate that back pressure on pc water cooling components. (Pump curves) Unless the water level of your loop is 120 inches above the lowest point you should be good.

If he had tested it further down the loop he might've gotten away with even more.

      not worth it really, at least not for $120...
      After running custom loop cooling on systems for 10+ years, basically 24/7/365 , ive never had a leak beyond the initial leak testing and even then its usually only a few drops.
      Honestly the only time I've seen a worse leak was with a Chinese D5 pump from Barrow. For some reason the O ring wasn't sealing to the Reservoir well enough to hold pressure...
      But thats why you leak test .
      Once a loop is operational, im not going to say it will never leak, ever.... but its exceedingly unlikely.
      Those blue automotive paper towels are awesome for leak tests as they hold a good amount of water.
      Anyway that's my experience, just measure well and make sure your tube ends are properly finished and evenly cut & you are unlikely to have issues.
      24/7/365
      by the way, putting it like this $120 buys a Full cover GPU block, delivered..... or a few 360mm radiators... or CPU blocks and fittings...and the tools to properly cut and finish tubing ( which is the best investment to avoid leaks to begin with)
      So yeah, up to you guys but my experience is this thing is banking on the paranoia rather than the actual fact, leaks rarely happen beyond your initial test.

    Tightly controllable vacuum pump with air pressure sensors and a microcontroller. That is all this thing is, and frankly it's implementation is very clever. It being overcome by too many holes didn't surprise me, this works by pulling air in faster than the water can leak out to try and create a negative total pressure even as the water flows. If the hole is big enough that the water can leak faster than the pump can pull air, well, it's just been plain and simple overwhelmed.

    • @martinpalmer6203
      @martinpalmer6203 3 роки тому +5

      That's what they are banking on..
      after years running custom loops, its really unlikely to ever see leaks especially after the system is up and running, beyond the initial leak test.
      You power the loop *only* during leak testing and leave the main components unplugged.
      Use blue automotive paper towels below all joins and fittings
      Fill the system, power on... watch for leaks.
      Of you dont see leaks, leave paper towels in place, run the system for a few hours to let the air work its way out...
      Still no leaks? Plug it all in... Leave the paper towels in place... run it for hours, weeks or however long you need to feel comfortable its not leaking.
      Use your fingers to check around any joins and fittings, sometimes there's such a slight leak it won't even drip.
      That said, after the initial testing its incredibly rare to have leaks develop and certainly unlikely to ever have catastrophic failures , just avoid glass tubing , id imagine that is incredibly prone to catastrophic failures when the system is bumped. Ive seen plenty of shattered fluorescent lights in my time so im a bit averse to ever using glass tubes to carry liquids.
      But hey, you do you.... ive ran systems long enough to say 24/7/365 is very reliable.
      Also your 1st build is less Likely to leak because you are extra paranoid amd careful.. its only after you've built a few you get a bit more comfortable and overconfident, then you'll get your 1st leak 😆
