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.

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.

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😅😅😅😅

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

This is definitely more than 30 bucks

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Linus going away to get a giant board for the joke 11:22 is the greatest dad joke ever

I miss having a job where you have a boss you love to work with on day to day basis especially like Alex and Linus. It's not always the most productive way to work, to be joking around, but does wonders for morale, retention, quality of work, etc.

When soldering follow iron with cold damp cloth helps hold competed melts

So obvious that this is full disclosure and honest video work! Makes it so real world and much more interesting of a watch!
