Water Cooling a Laptop for $30

You know the CNC mill is getting pulled out the moment Linus says "this may be something you can actually do at home"

For how badly this went in the first 75% of the video, the last 25% was such a victory lap.

This is definitely more than 30 bucks

A plug-in external water cooling loop would be a pretty cool feature for some of these high end gaming laptops. The manufacturer designs the cooling loop with a pipe to ports on the outside of the laptop, then sells you an optional external AIO block that you just plug in when you need the extra cooling during sweaty gaming sessions or on very hot days.

My HDMI to water hose adapter gives me all the water cooling I need

Sketchy cooling with Alex is my favorite genre of LTT video

Always a good time for viewers when Alex and Linus do sketchy cooling thing. Linus always starts out excited before being stunned at how they're going to do the thing before going all super excited puppy and overdoing the thing despite warnings not to. And then back to disappointed uncertainty before they get good results back and the excitement returns. I have always enjoyed the groaning, head-scratching chaos Alex adds to the team and to videos in particular. Man knows his stuff, especially the shortcuts that will make Linus face palm but work in the end. Exactly what I signed up for watching.

I love how linus has experts in engineering and when they tell him how to do it he goes "uh hmm, I got this" then is so shocked that something bad happens😅😅😅😅

Linus really went to get a giant wooden board at 11:22 just to complete his dad joke. Much respect has been earned.

You can tell Nate has screwed up far more expensive projects from how calm he handled all this, as a result he has my respect.

"This is disastrous" - Linus everytime water cooling with Alex

Need more of these off the wall weird projects that remind me of what you used to do all the time. That and it's just fun to watch Linus and team just wing it and pray it works!🤣

4:58 LMFAOO Nate - "Let it cool off a little bit" Linus - "No" It immediately goes wrong

I think Nate did a great job in his first appearance! Seems like another Alex, would love to see more of him

Wow Nate has some charismatic stage presence for someone appearing for the first time. Great addition to the team

I love how well linus's chaotic personality matches so well with alex's personality

I don’t know if I can watch Alex destroy perfectly fine hardware anymore.

Love Nate's calm energy

At work we use conductive epoxy. It is great option instead of the low-temperature soldering paste you used here. The conductive epoxy comes infused with silver and copper powder and flakes, I guess it would be good for this application.

I love how both employees are just like "Probably will" and then both * calmly* "yup" when Linus was freaking out.
