Ok. That was a british build, so they used some british tea sachets and all, but since tea was used as coolant, i would make it with lemon (still more sinfull i know, specially after a week or so) Also, i think the tea brew as in arabic coffee (with the tea ground left in the bottom) would serve a strong and bodied flavour to the ocasion, specially if it was south american black mate - just a personal preference: a strong 12h infused full bodied black mate brew with Lemon is AWESOME for cool at an almost 40C day like we are having here in the south of equator line now, so as for cold 10C nights in the winter to warm the throat!

For future reference on drilling through ceramic for a nice clean hole, first drill a hole of required size into a piece of wood then tape this in place on your pot, fix the pot to a table pref using clamps and cloth/bubble wrap to get a firm grip without cracking the pot. Drill in using water (someone can just pour a jug slowly for you) start at a slow speed increasing pressure gently and power slowly until you feel the drill bit "grip" keep this same consistent pressure until through for a nice clean hole. I was a tiler for over 20 years so this is my contribution to PC building lol!
Here's a pro tip if you want to get rid of micro particles: use a sterile vacuum filtration unit. They are sold mainly for biology applications and will filter things down to 0.2um, which is more than enough for something like tea. It will also sterilize the fluid which is always a plus when trying to avoid things growing in your cooling loop.
Probably way cheaper and still get you close enough would be to use a fritted glass filter funnel, pull the tea through work a vacuum pump, then boil it to keep from having growth, or to stop the growth you'll often see like some % v/v acetonitrile in water used, but that would likely attack the consumer grade plastics in the loop, most plastics for use with organic solvents are like polypropylene or PTFE (teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene) and I don't think those are very common in transparent consumer grade products because they tend to be translucent at best
Yea, coffee filters isn't all that good at removing particulates. Good enough for coffee can still look cloudy A-F. I made a Christmas schnaps some years ago that got incredibly cloudy. Only thing I had was coffee filters and I must have ran that through the filters at least ten times before it started to look decently clear. After the first three times I thought there were no way it would work. But I got there eventually. Still it was far from optimal. The result however tasted just as intended. Won me a competition for the third year running, disqualifying me from competing again...
you could probably run the tea through 0.1 or 0.2 micrometer filter if you still wanna run tea as your fluid and make it less likely to clog the heat block fins
Just so you know, Yorkshire gold and Yorkshire Red (regular) are like night and day. Yes Yorkshire Gold is 3x the price but its almost impossible to go back to regular after tasting that blend. Its how they get you hooked.
Kids still do it lmao, it's just tea bagging is so old someone who's a Dad also makes the same joke, it's just the way he told it made it FEEL like a Dad joke but make no mistake just think of the literal act of it xD it's not a Dad joke.

Sharkbite fittings have been a thing for so long in the plumbing industry I've always wondered why it had to be so much more complicated and expensive for the PC world
absolute brilliant idea. If for some reason you can resist the temptation of yorkshire tea and let it go cold, you can just pour it into the cooling system, play modded Skyrim for 6 second and it is boiling hot again
The inside of that cable panel is hilarious. The only thing more offensive you could have done is written a message about how coffee is superior to tea. That would _really_ annoy Spiff.
They should have put a heat exchanger into it for brewing tea, like an overcomplicated electric kettle, that would actually be useful and still be a total meme. Tea as coolant is going to have stuff growing in it and clog the microfins in the cooling blocks. Keep the cooling loop as a normal loop, but instead of a normal radiator, have it dump heat into a heat exchanger that heats water and drips the hot water into tea, maybe kinda like a drip coffee brewer. The harder you game, the faster it heats water to brew tea, and then you chug the tea for your caffeine fix so you can game even harder, repeat to infinity.
temperatures wise you need a smidge under boiling for brewing temp, not great for computers. But they could've put in a warming plate maybe? I just hope they swapped out the tea for brown dye.
Overclockers UK just did a video on this pc and the mold it grew over time. Also the pc never worked after it was shipped due to shipping damage and mold. They also did the brown coolant
this build ...I am Just amazed at this one. most people would of thought tea no problem and would of used food coloring to get the brown color but you guys thought of everything to do to make this work and to that my hat is off to you guys. Alex you are a genius that is all i can say. as always i loved this one one of the top 3 so far
That PC is fantastic! I love the attention to details throughout it with the fittings, the watermark panel, and actually having a teapot in it. It's awesome to see how much farther you can push the builds with so many people on staff even when they're not specifically on the project. Having a few of the other LTT staff add a bit of their time and experience with things like the painting, the etching, and the 3D modeling really brought it up another notch!
They should build one for him, but load it with bloatware and other things to slow it down by a staggering amount so that he can fix it and get the traffic up to 90% It should also be in the shape of a round-about somehow.
Now I got a maddening idea. You know when you're sitting with your desktop and drinking your tea/coffee and it slowly starts to get cold? How about a PC that uses watercooling to heat your mug or at least keep it warm? Should not be that complicated. A big piece of aluminium/copper with a water chamber inside that the water goes through before going to the fans.
I'm not even Irish, but I see justice in this idea 😂 Although realistically, maybe go for something less extreme? Like wood finish PC case interior/exterior? Or maybe some sort of grass/clover closed (in glass) planter on top of PC case? Or even just plants in resin to keep case tidy.
except for that tea is going to rot and clog up that loop. I have left tea in a bottle forgotten for a few days and it did not do well. And the temperature will just breed mold like crazy. It will basically be a kombucha PC.
For finding leaks in your loops, would using a mineral oil burner be a good idea? It'll fill the tubes with smoke (at least in theory) so that wherever it leaks you'll see smoke coming out. I at least know this for use in automotive settings and whatnot.
I would guess that the smoke would leave grease and particulates in the loop which would be caught in the fins of the water blocks and eventually damage the components. Cars and other industrial pipes don't have those thinly spaced fragile fins, and are probably easiers to wash.
This could've been a lot more difficult in regards to the 3d modelling if the Spiffing Brit would've been a coffee drinker, but luckily he drinks tea and teapots happen to be one of the default 3d shapes in some 3d modelling software.
Pottery is the original 3d modeling medium after all and teapots have historically been a sort of proof or test of skill. There are several parts that all have to work together functionally and aesthetically; it has to pour cleanly and keep the lid from falling off while tipping over. body, spout, handle, and lid can give you a lot of different forms to work with
I died at 20:50 xD Absolutely love the whole project and all the little touches you fit in. Sure the teapot is in the spotlight, but the painting, both sides of the cable panel, and obviously the tube fittings really top it up to perfection.
My wife is Cumbrian and I spent 8 years in the UK - when Linus mentioned doing this PC I told him there was one requirement we absolutely had to follow: Yorkshire Tea
As a BRIT who has been watching you for years now and thanks to you made the switch to PC gaming and do my own builds. i have to say. EPIC job guys, you even used my fave tea . Yorkshire tea., you just made this brit very proud. thumps up. Keep calm and carry on Linus
no you are mistaken. tea has the same properties of holy water therefore corrosion will not occur. this is due to the fact that the destruction of linus’ creation will be unholy
Linus's tea will corrode it. The Spiffing Brit's tea will flush all contaminated particles and kill any microbes that attempt to settle in the loop. He's Bri'ish, remember.
These custom build PCs are cherry on top! Love it together with crazy cooling ideas. Please guys, start making a playlist from these, sometimes it is hard to find "whole series"
Hahaha Alex is always creative. Mix that with his "eh, that's good enough" approach to builds always makes for far from perfect but interesting end results.
Can the lab PLEASE run a cheese spawning benchmark and include it in their analyses? I know it’s not a real metric but I laughed harder at “can’t even do 2,000 cheeses” than anything else this week 😂
It really depends on the makeup of tea. I don't know enough about it to know how much of the colouring compounds come from water soluble chemicals contra suspended particles. If it's mostly suspended particles then you'll see a sedimentation process in zones of the loop with significant pressure drop (mostly the reservoir I'd guess?) and the colour will fade. Add to that potential microbacterial attack or off reactions between loop components and compounds in tea (I'd be afraid of the tannins personally). You might also see some permanent staining of the tubes from said tannins. If most of it is from water soluble compounds well it should? stay in there, maybe still staining the tubes. Even with my limited knowledge of chemistry this... well honestly seems like an out and out terrible idea x) but I think LTT knows that.
@@sil3nT. nah it’s just weird. I’m Irish from Ireland, I’ll never understand why North Americans of all people obsess over the historic atrocities of the Brit’s. Americans literally live on stolen Native American land and get p**sed whenever anyone brings up their countries historic atrocities
Not sure why people like spreading lies so much on the Internet. The Potato Famine was caused by a crop blight and an over reliance on potatoes in Ireland. Literally everyone in Europe suffered as a result of the blight, it's just Ireland was more reliant on potato than anywhere else. Royal Family had absolutely nothing to do with it, neither did most normal mainland British people (who were also suffering). Irish need to drop that chip on their shoulder and stop playing the victims. It's both boring and untrue.
I'm not much of a PC builder, but do love a good rig. Couldn't you use a liquid that shows up under UV light to test for leaks? Not sure if it's a clever idea, or has been thought of before, but could help for detection of leaks
I am not sure how a liquid showing up under uv light would help because you want to find the leak before you add water into the system. If all else fails you just run liquid through it to find where it leaks from, after which the leak locations would be evident because liquid is coming out of it.

As a British pc enthusiast, I approve. Edit: Made this comment at the beginning of the video, but I'm not happy. Needs more tea.
Even of the inner back decoration?
Just remember, always defend your tea supply, if you have guns and are denied tea... You are one way converted into an American! :D
It also needs a dunking port...
Also the Kings portrait
And where is the milk?
Massive respect to the person who designed the back plate… my fav part of the whole pc
That was incredible. Makes the entire video
The royal family is responsible for the potato famine 😂
There's some joke in here about England and Ireland and "perfectly balanced with no exploitation".....
A coloniser would say that, very true
I for a fact can confirm it takes a very long time for tea to rot in a system. To this day I still have a pleasant scent from my laptop.
As someone who lives in the town Taylor's (Yorkshire Tea) is from, thanks for being the first non UK channel to pronounce Yorkshire correctly
My wife is Cumbrian and I spent 8 years in the UK - when Linus mentioned doing this PC I told him there was one requirement we absolutely had to follow:
Yorkshire Tea
Me too, no way
"All it cost us was our Irish viewers" LOL! Good one!
And about a 3rd of the world they also colonised
And then when they pull the back panel off it has an Irish flag and says england caused the potato famine 😂😂😂😂😂
What a lad for that quip
Did you catch the Ireland flag and jab on the inside of the back panel? 20:50
@@haddib NA doesn't give a fk about the the 3rd world 😂
You earned it Spiff
Wow, genuinely one of the nicest PC builds ever.
LTT finally did it right proper.
Where's the link to the teapot holder file though?
Conceptually I didn't think this was going to be such a beautiful computer but now I want it!
The line starts on the left side of the road.
Equipping the dapper exploiter himself with a *tea cooled pc?!* Oh yeah, this is the perfect video to be sponsored by those mad lads at Seasonic
Seasonic? More like TEAsonic....
I'll see myself out.
@@Adlata wow that is alot of reaching over a seasonic joke
*Madrinas sponsor spot of yesteryears looking nervously in the background*
@@Adlata I really really hope linus sees this and tells you how dumb you are in the next Wan show.
Should be teasonic or noone
Love how easy Linus remembered the Seasonic sponsorship bit the second Alex triggered it by saying the brand's name - That's true love hahaha
As a BRIT who has been watching you for years now and thanks to you made the switch to PC gaming and do my own builds. i have to say. EPIC job guys, you even used my fave tea . Yorkshire tea., you just made this brit very proud. thumps up. Keep calm and carry on Linus
Yorkshire Tea is also seen in videos by Colin Furze.
Happy New Year to Linus and the entire crew!
It would complete the build if this PC came with a background web server that only output HTTP code 418.
Happy New Year, LTT! I've heard about the tea-cooled PC through WAN Show; Excellent work, Alex! It was worth the hype.
I live in Derbyshire and we all enjoy Yorkshire tea here and I was proud to see it displayed in this video! Marvellous choice!
I would like to see the Skyrim Cheese Wheel test become part of the standard LTT benchmarking test suite.
22:22 well the brits sure did
A build that would bring a tear to the eye of even the most rugged, most handsome, most powerful man alive, Reanu Keeves.
Ah yes, Reanu Keeves Wholesome Chungus 100
As an American, I’m still waiting on the crude oil cooled Pc with an AR-15 reservoir
the tea is going to cause so much corrosion I love it.
no you are mistaken. tea has the same properties of holy water therefore corrosion will not occur. this is due to the fact that the destruction of linus’ creation will be unholy
Yeah it's going to stain the shit out of everything too lol
Like the slow corrosion of the British Empire.
I jest, I love my cousins across the pond
Linus's tea will corrode it. The Spiffing Brit's tea will flush all contaminated particles and kill any microbes that attempt to settle in the loop. He's Bri'ish, remember.
It will match the teeth of the British
13:50 Even the BIOS battery has British colors painted onto it. That's attention to detail.
I thought that was just a reflection of the paint on the inside of the case?
Now this is the kind of collab that makes me happy! Two great channels with real personality behind the ideas! Loved this
the laborer who picked the tea in a third world commonwealth part of Brita9in also contributed, slightly.
It’s funny to me that spiff got a collab like this and no one else in the yogscast did
i did not realise that he was in the yogscast
Might it have something to do with viewership?
These custom build PCs are cherry on top! Love it together with crazy cooling ideas. Please guys, start making a playlist from these, sometimes it is hard to find "whole series"
Hahaha Alex is always creative. Mix that with his "eh, that's good enough" approach to builds always makes for far from perfect but interesting end results.
Should've taken the bottom out of the teapot or cut in half to put the pump in it.
Can the lab PLEASE run a cheese spawning benchmark and include it in their analyses? I know it’s not a real metric but I laughed harder at “can’t even do 2,000 cheeses” than anything else this week 😂
16:56 You couldn't make that up if you tried. Glad you got it on camera!
So what will happen after a while? Would the water loop need to be filled with tea packets again to re-up the flavor?
The PC will know the difference between tea and water
@user-ui9ni4nf5z i clicked that and now i'm gay, thanks a lot
Just keep dumping tea leaves in and called it steeped.
@@tatzecom clearly using PG tips if it rots.
It really depends on the makeup of tea. I don't know enough about it to know how much of the colouring compounds come from water soluble chemicals contra suspended particles. If it's mostly suspended particles then you'll see a sedimentation process in zones of the loop with significant pressure drop (mostly the reservoir I'd guess?) and the colour will fade. Add to that potential microbacterial attack or off reactions between loop components and compounds in tea (I'd be afraid of the tannins personally). You might also see some permanent staining of the tubes from said tannins.
If most of it is from water soluble compounds well it should? stay in there, maybe still staining the tubes.
Even with my limited knowledge of chemistry this... well honestly seems like an out and out terrible idea x) but I think LTT knows that.
That Irish message on the inside of the case lmao
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Having a referance to the British empire causing mass genocide is the most Spiffing think they did lol.
Happy for you~
@@sil3nT. nah it’s just weird. I’m Irish from Ireland, I’ll never understand why North Americans of all people obsess over the historic atrocities of the Brit’s. Americans literally live on stolen Native American land and get p**sed whenever anyone brings up their countries historic atrocities
Not sure why people like spreading lies so much on the Internet.
The Potato Famine was caused by a crop blight and an over reliance on potatoes in Ireland. Literally everyone in Europe suffered as a result of the blight, it's just Ireland was more reliant on potato than anywhere else.
Royal Family had absolutely nothing to do with it, neither did most normal mainland British people (who were also suffering).
Irish need to drop that chip on their shoulder and stop playing the victims. It's both boring and untrue.
I cannot wait for Spiff's response
I'm not much of a PC builder, but do love a good rig. Couldn't you use a liquid that shows up under UV light to test for leaks? Not sure if it's a clever idea, or has been thought of before, but could help for detection of leaks
I am not sure how a liquid showing up under uv light would help because you want to find the leak before you add water into the system. If all else fails you just run liquid through it to find where it leaks from, after which the leak locations would be evident because liquid is coming out of it.
Which is stupid so we did it....
LTT's New Years resolution
I love how he just casually says "I have this hand from IKEA"
at least the hand wasn't covered in Vaseline like the mobo
@@MajorSkrewup Do ultrasonic cleaners not work on vaseline? I'd be shocked if they didn't have an ultrasonic big enough to dunk a motherboard, and as soon as he mentioned cleaning out the socket I assumed that's how they did it.
@@guspaz I wouldn't know, I thought the best way to clean off Vaseline was with a hotel bed sheet
Gave me NileGreen Vibes XD
Haha, i was the same. I was like "Wait! Why the hell do you have a hand from IKEA? Who buys a hand from IKEA and why does IKEA even sell a hand? What is going on here?"
i love how linus didnt even know who the sponsor was and still gave a perfect pitch about the sponsor spontaneously. shows how long he's been doing this thing 😂
21:00 , rip to the queen. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Less than a minute and already scarred by how Linus made tea
He filtered it, that's class
Well at least linus used a kettle and not a microwave
@@whrench2676 I was in the US a few months ago and had to make tea in the microwave. It was that or... bleugh, using the coffee maker. The tea itself was questionable but passable.
@@Logarithm906 TEA IS GROSS
@@warhokn4178 Tea is fine, it's about how it's made
Lol. This PC was forged in fire. Perfect dragon proofing.
Very good tea choice and very glad you filtered it. Can't weight for a coffee cooled build.
Nothing less for ol' Sir Spiffington
"Oi mate, may you send me that wonderful piece of tech, including the tea, of course"
'British landlords a d the Royal family are responsible for the potato famine'
god I love this channel 😂 @20:50
Nick is the goat for all this painting and patterns. It’s truly unmatched and I’m not even British.
@19:28 is when i learned The Spiffing Brit's name is "Tom".
4:17 Man held the cup itself instead of holding it by the handle
3:20 Should we tell him? Alex, it's not *usually* FedEx *trucks* that drive over the Atlantic
14:10 if you listen carefully, you may hear TheSpiffingBrit already writing down a bounty on Plouffe's head after saying green tea through it.
Tea is tea green or otherwise haven't had spiffs brand can't seem to find it.
@@Nakasasamar/confidentlyincorrect
@Duality heh, I've tried finding it local I don't mail order tea no matter what. So, best I've done is green tea for myself but definitely wouldn't have the stones to use it as coolant.
4:33 I love that Alex’s hoodie strings look like a mustache lol 😂 how fitting!
i love seasonic too, their power supplies are a different level, i used mine in 3 different types of builds and still got 8 years warranty left on it lol
Born too late to explore the world, too early to explore the universe, but just in time to witness tea cooled PC with a tea pot. Incredible
Obviously it had to be Yorkshire Tea. Everything else would be denied by Spiff.
But honestly, you should have sent him a coffee cooled PC. :D
The Royal Post refuses to deliver anything to the Spiffing Brit that smells remotely of coffee beans, by decree of the monarch.
The queen would probably come back to life and try to reclaim Canada if they did.
They used regular and not gold despite having it.
5:34 That gave this Irish viewer a chuckle and OMG at 22:11 🤣 Love it.
You know what, as an Irish viewer the Union Jack didn't do anything to hurt my impression of the video, but I appreciate the recognition 😅
Of EVERYTHING that went into this build. The fittings were the ones i was most impressed by…. Holy cow
This gotta be one of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen
Just because it's chaotic
This build is absolutely flawless and with zero exploits.
I loved reading that in the Spiffing Brit’s voice.
I know this is late, but I used to work residential plumbing and when we had slow leaks in the system that we couldn’t locate we would use an air compressor, use a fitting to plug it into the system and give it a bit of air and listen for the whistling
