0:21 BTU stands for British Thermal Units and it rates, in the most layman terms, how powerful an A/C unit is at trying to cool a space (higher number means higher cooling capacity). 14K is ok for an apartment living room or a relatively large bedroom.
The colour changing RAM is amazing. Where can I buy it? Kawaii white RAM was probably just being difficult. I really want that RAM though, it's heckin adorable.
When other youtubers are doing DIY but you need a 3d printer, a complete workshop with tools, 25 computers, etc.. here is dawid making me think, I really can do that with cardboard
Aaaaah reminds me of my high school days, did more or less the same thing but with an overhead AC unit, through a hole in the side of the case, and directly into the CPU heatsink fan... loved it :D
Lowest it goes is 5-7 *C and its dry air coming out, I think there should be no issues with condensation. Moisture condenses on fins of the condenser / evaporator inside AC, that's why it has tube to drip water out of it. So you can pump that dry air straight into PC case, without worries.
I think he meant condensation around the CPU block. Even though it's dry air hitting the AIO, the fluid in the AIO can still make condensation around the CPU if the temps get too low vs ambient temp... I think but then again, I'm no expert, just going with what makes sense to me.
This is how I ran my gaming rigs in the olden days (Athlon 800Mhz+GeForce 2) before cobbling together a junkyard chiller. Other 'tasteful' mods included the old desktop fan on high ducted to the CPU and dremeling fan cutouts through the case (where structural integrity would support).
The problem is, you’re only directing the cold air at one little point of the radiator so the radiator has much less time to cool the hot liquids from the CPU. Think about putting one ice cube on your arm vs dunking your arm in a bucket of ice cubes. Sure, one ice cube is still very cold, but a lot of ice covering more area is much colder. In this situation, you may have gotten better results just situating the radiator directly in front of the AC unit in a way that the entire radiator was being cooled directly. Think about how 240mm radiators with two fans is more effective than 120mm radiators. Also, you even mentioned how cold the air was coming through the radiator, that just means it’s passing right through the one area it’s cooling and remaining cold, the rest of the radiator was probably quite warm by comparison. This also comes down to that particular AIOs ability to effectively transfer heat. If the liquid in the AIO loop is very cold from the AC unit but your CPU is 3-4 times hotter, that means the AIO is being quite restrictive to the thermal transfer.
A major restriction is the water pump block. It is only SO efficient and can move only SO much water, so there is a limit to how much thermal energy it can pass into the coolant. The coolant itself has a limit, as does the radiator, as well. You would very quickly reach a point where the AIO is transferring as much heat as it can.
I conducted a similar 'experiment' over the summer with my portable air conditioner. I placed it on a crate of beer and directed the adjustable vents toward my PC. I had only removed the side panel, and the graphics card is mounted vertically, so the cold air from the air conditioner flowed directly onto the 3 fans of my RTX 4080. The RAM (G-Skill 6000 @ 6800 MHz) normally ran at 55-60 degrees Celsius. This time, the memory was at 35-45 degrees max. Despite heavy overclocking, the graphics card didn’t even reach 65 degrees Celsius at the 'hotspot' (normally 90+ degrees)! The GPU temperature consistently stayed below 60 degrees at full load, usually around 55. Before, it was between 75 and 80 degrees Celsius. Since the radiator is mounted at the top of the case, the cold air could also be nicely drawn in through the open case and help cool the radiator. I couldn't achieve a higher delta on my CPU than in the video either. That also made a difference of a maximum of 10, sometimes 15 degrees. Still, that's not insignificant... ...but considering the additional power consumption of the air conditioner at 2500W, not very efficient I'd say ... 🤪
The screen cap at 13:16 shows the GPU pulling 335 watts while the CPU pulls 78-79 watts. With a pretty similar CAD effort, could we see the performance when cooling the GPU?
Dawid, take the front filter panel of the ac off. It should have a temperature probe infront. Strap a 8w led light bulb to the sensor. With the light on the ac will run indefinitely until it freezes over. Good luck and have fun. 🤙🏻
Putting the BeQuiet fan unit outside on a cold Canadian winter night whilst the CPU heatblock and motherboard are all inside would make for a cool experiment. Can you drill some holes in your wall and make this happen?
honestly i have thought about this a lot. I, my self, am from a temperate region so my pc in summers reaches 80c on cpu and on gpu can reach uptowards 85c (r5 3600+rx 5700xt), i think about it a lot "if I was in a colder region, I would hang my radiator out the friggin window" Edit: being aware of the heat, i undervolt my cpu and gpu and game during night so its not as hot and the components are within "safe and comfortable" range of 70c-75c
Cut the damn tube in half and run 2 pipes. Might even stop the AC unit killing itself fighting an almost complete blockage. Or better still just use more cardboard and make a nice open channel.
Maybe I'm being silly, but since it's an AIO on a test-bed, why not just put the AIO directly onto the output of the A/C? No tube to restrict the A/C's airflow. Doing that, you could build a custom loop with as big a radiator as you can get.
@@ronjatter No it wouldn't. It's already a cooler. We are not replacing it, we are supplementing even more cooling and from a distance with plastic water tubes in between. The cooler is not that hot. That processor or GPU is probably under 50c definitely under 60c so that's 120 to 140f and that is only directly on the die. The ice maker is full of ice and maintains that ice. There is no world where that heat overpowers a freezer full of neverending ice. Up what would be several feet of tubing made of plastic with no direct contact with anything but basically ice. If you stuck a bag of ice on top of that cooler it would get even cooler correct. Now pretend that ice never melts silly person. This was all purely hypothetical and purposely stupid but you may need to go back to school. Those little tiny compressors are quite powerful. They usually run through a defrust cycle at least once a day so you don't have to empty a bucket of water out of the drip tray every few hours. We are trying the have fun here. If you really want to discuss cooling systems I can do that. You want to make some dry ice at home, I can do that. It takes way less equipment than you would think. As long as using liquid propane as your refrigerant doesn't scare you.
That hand crank desk is awesome. A little grease and she will live forever. I have a few Be Quiet products, love them! Even for the lower priced items the quality is still incredible.
I remember reading an article in a 90s mag when I was in the 90s that the first time a home PC CPU managed 1000mhz was with the innards of a refrigerator attached to a PC.
I found this one really entertaining. Reminded me of when I built a cardboard duct inside my old 486 DX4 100 mhz pc from the front fan, over the CPU heatsink and out the back of the case, rigged toggle switches to the jumper headers to boost it to 120mhz so I could play Quake, Doom and Heretic smoothly, and put a saucer of ice cubes at the front fan to suck in cool air! Hillarious!
Wow, reminds me of the Mainframe I ran back in the 70s. One summer, I had a great summer job, as a computer operator. I operated an IBM 360, and I would change out the hard disc packs and tapes, and change the paper on the 2200 line a minute line printers. What a cool job! Especially since a massive refrigeration unit ran cold air under the floor, and then the air would come up though the various components, which had no bottom. After flowing through the unit, the air flowed out into the room, which made the room about 50 degrees (10C). So.... blow the cold air into a frame, then find a way to mount the case so that the case intakes breath from the super-cold chamber, and mount the AIO into it as well, plus an AIO for the GPU. Next crank the AC up so much that, even after flowing through the case/CPU/GPU, the AC cools the overall room to 10 degrees C, and you can re-experience the 1970s!
I did something similar 20 years ago on a PressHot CPU, but it was a closed computer, had to do some tinkering to compensate condensation and it worked like a charm.
Our AC went out recently- it's fixed now. In the mean-time though, I took an extra window unit I sometimes use for other things and rigged it up to work with a side opening window- it sits on the ground and pulls the air from outside then exhausts the cool air into the house. It works better the hotter it is outside due to how it's hooked up but it really saved me on those Days when it was in the 90s with no AC- at least I had one room that was cool. I've got a box around where the cool air comes out, then 2 4 inch tubs running into the House and I sealed up the window with even more cardboard/duck tape! It's very similar to this and it works surprisingly well. I'm actually keeping it in until it cools down outside here in a couple of Weeks just because I like it extra cold in my work area :D
CPU won't cool down more than the cool air coming from the AC unit. Would be around 55-60F, plus the cooling loss gain from the exchange. This set up would work better with a air cooler I think, less cogs in the wheel for heat loss or gain.
Dawid: in the same video, does the rookie mistake of leaving the seal sticker on the GPU, then proceeds to ductape engineer a cooling system to an AC to extraordinary results. Love this channel so much.
you should 100% do a video seeing how much you can overclock different cpu's using that setup 🤣 Be interesting to see the benchmarks with cooling like that when overclocked.
I love the plugs for your sponser, It probably worked better than "segway to our sponser" Also, you could lose the AIO all together and see what ac air does directly onto the CPU HAHAHA great video!
The angle of the cardboard and the space between where the pipe goes are causing turbulent air. I think someone else said this already. However, the Radiator itself might be too small to get any cooler. I'd build the cooler around a two-pass or three-pass radiator. The thermal area of the fins has a relative heat output, and they get less efficient with thermal transfer load on more than just colder air going in. Super fun to watch you do hilarious cardboard coolers though, Can't wait to see V2.
It is a good start. Another possible path is to put the radiator cooler so that it blows the hot air out of the room to the outside. This would need longer cooling tubes of course, but is really how it should be done.
I did that back in 1999 with my old Koolance PC case with an integrated top mounted radiator and -10°f pure winter air pushed through a window fan funneled down a cardboard vent directly into the top of my radiator. What usually ran at 100°f with my CPU and video card blocks was running at a chilly 50°f.
I have a new build that's running a 14900K like a fusion reactor and I live in Queensland, and it's coming into summer. I've been looking at my portable AC unit and you basically read my mind with this video. Although I was imagining directing it into the main intake and cooling the entire case in addition to the radiator. That would make an interesting follow up video I think. This is excellent content, perfect Dawid experiment :)
I have done this for decades. I keep my pc sitting over one of my HVAC registers. Works great. During the winter months I move my tower to the top of my table as the register is blowing hot air to heat the house. The other thing to remember when doing this is that you will need to blow out the PC and clean the intake mesh more often as pretty much anything in the air in the house gets sucked into the PC. Having a better filter in the furnace blower will also help to reduce the dust build up. It can get dirty fast if you have pets.
You have to find a way to mount the AC to the WC to go even lower; there is no other way. You chose this path, and if anyone can do it, it is you. I believe in you David
the problem is not the air temperature or radiator temp regardless fan size/number/rpm. the restriction comes from the long time for the heat transfer between the water inside hoses > block > thermal paste > IHS > DIE/CCD and the small pumps.
lmfao Why did I do the bare minimal of this for the summer. Putting my PC right below my AC about a foot underneath, with cardboard on top of the AC directing the air flow downward into my AIO. I love the jank 😂😂
Didn't watch your vids for a while, and now I remember why. 10 min just for some cardboard and 4 min of actually interesting content. I wish there was a "block the channel" button.
Well, in an enclosed case with the cold dry air blowing a good enough positive pressure in the case, you will get way lower temps on all components and never have to worry about condensation. Both because humid air from outside the case won't find its way in, and also because the condensation will happen on the ac unit coils, the coldest spot in the loop
I've been doing this for years. Computer and AC are on the same wall so I had to make a 90 degree turn with the airflow and simply point it at the front of the case. 3-4 foot air gap so I don't blow condensation into the case.

I love the plugs for your sponser, It probably worked better than "segway to our sponser"
Also, you could lose the AIO all together and see what ac air does directly onto the CPU HAHAHA great video!
The angle of the cardboard and the space between where the pipe goes are causing turbulent air. I think someone else said this already. However, the Radiator itself might be too small to get any cooler. I'd build the cooler around a two-pass or three-pass radiator. The thermal area of the fins has a relative heat output, and they get less efficient with thermal transfer load on more than just colder air going in. Super fun to watch you do hilarious cardboard coolers though, Can't wait to see V2.
Good job buddy. It has been a pleasure watching your channel grow. You are awesome
It is a good start. Another possible path is to put the radiator cooler so that it blows the hot air out of the room to the outside. This would need longer cooling tubes of course, but is really how it should be done.
I was suffering major anxiety right up until 9:47 when the fans switched from push to pull!
I did that back in 1999 with my old Koolance PC case with an integrated top mounted radiator and -10°f pure winter air pushed through a window fan funneled down a cardboard vent directly into the top of my radiator. What usually ran at 100°f with my CPU and video card blocks was running at a chilly 50°f.
I have a new build that's running a 14900K like a fusion reactor and I live in Queensland, and it's coming into summer. I've been looking at my portable AC unit and you basically read my mind with this video. Although I was imagining directing it into the main intake and cooling the entire case in addition to the radiator. That would make an interesting follow up video I think.
This is excellent content, perfect Dawid experiment :)
The table mech has one fantastic drumbeat ....
Dawid, I'm profoundly disappointed that the whole build not used a single cable tie.
I have done this for decades. I keep my pc sitting over one of my HVAC registers. Works great. During the winter months I move my tower to the top of my table as the register is blowing hot air to heat the house. The other thing to remember when doing this is that you will need to blow out the PC and clean the intake mesh more often as pretty much anything in the air in the house gets sucked into the PC. Having a better filter in the furnace blower will also help to reduce the dust build up. It can get dirty fast if you have pets.
That is probably the most cleanest homemade duct I’ve ever seen.
"I'm a little concerned about length" -- famous last words of many.
Your duct taping abilities are magnificent, Red Green would be proud.
wow, lifting that desk up, you looked like the first caveman making fire, entertaining
Dawid answering the questions nobody's asking but they're glad they know the answer to 😂
When you patted the aircon on the side i fully expected it to fall out and crush someone like in Happy Gilmore.
At first listen, that IKEA desk crank track was channeling some Down With The Sickness.
Like Linus's unholy "Chiller" made from the guts of an AC in the most unsafe way.
should have done "Let the Bodies hit the floor" reference with that vicious table jacking
Wow Dawid! I didn't think they had adjustable standing desks in the 1870s.
This is the Timmy Joe special!
Nailed it dawid, definitely hope to see more vids like this.
Bro doing everything I want to try... keep these coming man!
"ghbutequ" best Dawid quote 0.28 in this video
Dawid Does Tech Stuff... the channel where every 10-year-old boy's half-baked ideas come to life and potentially end in fire!
Keep up the great work!
You have to find a way to mount the AC to the WC to go even lower; there is no other way. You chose this path, and if anyone can do it, it is you. I believe in you David
Winding the table up really brought out the John Wick look.
the problem is not the air temperature or radiator temp regardless fan size/number/rpm. the restriction comes from the long time for the heat transfer between the water inside hoses > block > thermal paste > IHS > DIE/CCD and the small pumps.
lmfao Why did I do the bare minimal of this for the summer. Putting my PC right below my AC about a foot underneath, with cardboard on top of the AC directing the air flow downward into my AIO. I love the jank 😂😂
"I've got a custom cooling setup."
"Oh? How cool does it run under load?"
*Put's shades on* "Close to dewpoint."
Now that's how we game in style
I was waiting for the Ad break after the cardboard cutting for Dawid to hold up fingers covered in band-aids...
Really answering the questions absolutley no one asked here dawid
Gaming at the edge of the dew point, what a thrill we never knew was possible to have.
lol at Be Quiet!, sponsoring a very loud wall air conditioner. The irony is not lost :D
Now this is a video I’ve been needing to cheer me up today❤
Didn't watch your vids for a while, and now I remember why. 10 min just for some cardboard and 4 min of actually interesting content. I wish there was a "block the channel" button.
Dawid should just say BTU in every video.
Also, an AC unit video sponsored by bequiet is counter productive 😂😂😂
Well, in an enclosed case with the cold dry air blowing a good enough positive pressure in the case, you will get way lower temps on all components and never have to worry about condensation. Both because humid air from outside the case won't find its way in, and also because the condensation will happen on the ac unit coils, the coldest spot in the loop
I've been doing this for years. Computer and AC are on the same wall so I had to make a 90 degree turn with the airflow and simply point it at the front of the case. 3-4 foot air gap so I don't blow condensation into the case.
