But, you know, none of those really compared to what I think we're going to achieve today, M s.

I brings ultrathin gaming to life with their new GS 65 stealth, the 4.9 millimeter basil 144 hertz 10 80 p panel in video graphics and eighth Gen Intel CP Use Make the new GS 65 self a true powerhouse with a small footprint.

So it's obviously r TX season, and I'm trying to think of ways to make it exciting and interesting on what it's gonna be probably pretty repetitive content from all of your favorite tech YouTubers.

We've all got different perspectives on the cards, but you know what I've never done around here is actually taken on my own custom attempt at water blocking or water cooling.

Whatever you wanna call it, a card that wasn't designed for.

It's what we have right here is the G force.

Artie eso said GTX RDX, the RDX 2080 from E V.

J is a reference PCB based on the exact design that is sent over from in video.

What we have right here in front of me is actually a completely disassembled 28 e t I.

So the same card.

I'm just showing you this.

You could see what looked like beforehand in case you've never seen it.

Massive cooler on there.

Which does a great job at keeping the theorems and the core extremely cool.

We've got a heat plate right here for the V R EMS thermal pad on both sides.

Here's the cooler.

I mean, this thing just looks like a cruise ship.

It's so damn big.

And then here is the bear P c b of our T X.

But you know, there's another YouTuber who does similar stuff to these custom cooling config Sze that being Mr Steve from gamers nexus.

Now Steve has been known to take a iose and, um, do custom cooling and rigged those up.

Very Jerry rig, just to see what happens when you get them on.

Water usually leaves the PCB or another piece of you, but the V.

R M is exposed with air cooling which he says is perfectly fine.

And I agree because the thermal limits of them these are extremely efficient design that also cools very well by just blasting them with air.

We're taking a step farther today.

I am gonna be doing a custom loop.

And if all goes according to plan, we will also have water cooled v R ems by the end of this video.

Now, one of the reasons I'm using the V G A card is because I can actually retain this cooling plate, which will give me better heat dissipation from the V.

R.

Ems.

Because of all of these thermal pads, I think they've clearly learned from their lesson in the past, with the theorems overheating on the 10 80 on 10 80 i cards.

But there's this just is kind of a stroke of luck, I think, because when everything is in place here, push this down and Manus does that stick good.

I mean, I'm picking up.

You can see that the actual adhesion of the thermal pad is what's holding the entire weight of the card.

This right here, if you don't recall, is my like $20 water block was like $17 I got off Amazon.

It's copper.

It doesn't have an inlet and outlet.

It's pretty much just a base plate with all of the high fin densities milled into it.

These are the screws right here that the back plate screws into.

So the back plate screws through here through the back plate and holds everything down against the PCB, sandwiching the cooling plate in the back plate together on the PCB.

So that means that this place is going to be mounted to the card.

No, I got really lucky that this fits in here and it touches the dye and is only about a millimetre off of this backing plate.

And all of the screws actually line up with these four inter screws to where I can mount this down to the backing plate so I don't have to use screws passing up through the PCB.

I don't have to worry about measuring and having it be tilted, so the first thing I'm gonna do is actually gonna put half of this back together.

I'm gonna put the back plate back on here and screw it all down because doing it this way also means that I get to retain all of this cooling from the back plate.

Now, the reason why I'm not using the screws that come with the block and have the spring load on there is there a different diameter from the ones I'm screwing down onto right here That would have made things just so much easier.

But in the spirit of modeling and think, God, Evie G.

A actually makes the threading on these these nuts, like all the way through and not just partially.

Otherwise, I won't able to screw in from this side because this is normally designed to screw in from the backside.

But this is actually starting to look entirely too professional, in my opinion, like this looks like it was almost intended for this.

Now, this doesn't have to be held on like, super tight.

We just need to keep it from moving around.

So as soon as I get all foreign there, then snug her up Now, the reason why I'm not using the Ikea water blocks or something like that is because this, uh, plate that comes with this water block had Maura adjustment.

So it's a big oblong hole instead of a regular round hole.

So the Ikea water blocks was too far apart, and so it didn't allow me to actually able to use that.

And the water block also would have probably not fit inside the square, allowing me to still use the plate like I wanted.

So this is Ah, I think we're looking okay here like that.

So, technically, that's now water cooled core right there.

And I I think this looks pretty damn good if I don't say so myself.

All right.

Now the other thing I really want to do here.

And I mentioned it started its videos.

I want to actively cool the V r.

EMS.

So I've got this right here.

This was actually for a gig by X 99 motherboard, and this was the V R M cooling kit chipset in cooling.

But I've still got this block which was never used for anything.

And if you actually look at the diameter of it, it hangs over the side where I can actually access those screw holes.

So I'm thinking about trying to mount this down somehow like this, but I have to come up with some sort of a mounting mechanism now that can screw into those holes and hold this in place.

All right, so this is actually coming together pretty well.

So this is one of the reservoir amounts that come with the singularity computers, reservoir kits.

And they sent me kind of a bunch of them, and this was actually perfect.

So it matches.

It's gonna be my back strapped right here to hold this on.

And the whole spacing was actually perfect between, uh, not the outermost holes of the innermost holds the bottom hole in an inter hole there.

So it's going to stick up a little higher on the top of the card.

I'm perfectly okay with that, though.

That should still clear anything on the motherboard.

That's my only concern Now is where this hangs down.

Will it clear the motherboard?

So I guess I should get a motherboard now, okay.

And this your work?

Oh, yeah.

There's lots of room there.

Normally, this touches the V R ems directly on a motherboard, so it uses a thermal pad.

But because we are now going metal to metal with a heat spreader here that's conducting heat through a thermal pad already, I am hoping that there will be enough thermal conductivity.

I mean, doing it this way.

And I'm gonna pre spread it on here because I don't want to squish out the sides.

So I'm hoping we'll get enough thermal conductivity this way so that it will be beneficial.

I'm also gonna be placing it right on top of where the actual V R EMS are.

Now, if you look carefully in here, I don't feel can get in there.

You can see the gray thermal pad, although the heat will spread throughout this whole heat plate.

Obviously, that's the only surface area I have to deal with.

So I'm gonna put that directly on top of it.

That way it can get a more direct path of cooling.

I'm hoping that that's gonna be enough to get the job done.

Uh huh.

Suckers on there tight to that ain't going anywhere.

So here's our Remember this from one of our other tests.

Remember which one we did?

Maybe.

Was Luke border?

It was still put together.

So here's what we're gonna do.

You can see we got really lucky here, though the V R M cooler barely clears the motherboard right there, we got super Super lucky.

So there is that.

I'm gonna go ahead and fill this right now without powering on the system.

Because if we do have any leaks, which I don't anticipate.

But we did have any leaks.

I don't want this power down.

Obviously, this is a 79 80 XY on an extra 99 dark motherboard.

I definitely don't want to have to deal with that.

So quick disconnects to the rescue and Okay, well, would you look at that?

All right, here we go.

First boot.

Nothing's dripping.

The things leaking.

Get hooked up to our e K to 40 radiator here with R E K Pump that's currently running.

All right, fingers crossed that we get video need video 92 d five.

Beginning video.

Let's see if any of this mattered because we're keeping the V ery m cooler.

We are overall seeing less voltage on here.

So we're sitting at 10.

19 mill.

It'll turn our one mil a bolt exact or one bolt.

Exactly.

We seem to spend more time at exactly one volt or slightly below, which is getting us a better frequency right here because of the rooms are staying cooler.

But we were able to see here on some of the tests some of the scenes inside of this test.

This will go all the way up to 2121 15 and even bounce off 2130.

All right, there's 2130.

We saw it for a minute, and the thing is, we couldn't even get close to that on air.

And these fans are not even running 100% right now.

I've got them set to 70%.

They are barred.

Our fans on a 2 40 read more than enough cooling for this G p.

So here's the Times.

By extreme results, we got a 75 89 graphics score.

My previous best score was a 75 54.

So many so many of these rhymes, that's where.

So we just gained another 35 points.

Graphic score on times by extreme, that's a lot for extreme.

I'm playing this little bit more, See if we can't get to go just a little bit farther.

I may or may not hook the air conditioner after this.

I don't think I'm going to.

All right, so I flipped around the fans to their pool instead of push.

And we're just going to set the radiator inside of here.

Okay, so the ace, he's hooked up to it.

We're currently idling at 15 c.

The cooling plate on here that's touching the V R M.

That my water block is attached to this is clearly working.

It is cold.

It is freakishly cold to the touch.

The back plate is cold.

This is now a chiller unit.

And yes, we are aware that condensation is the byproduct of going below ambient temperature.

But we're not anywhere near far enough below ambient temperature for condensation, or do or do point or any of that scientific mumbo jumbo to be a problem.

So if this makes you uncomfortable, then don't do it.

Okay, uh, clearly, it's working because here we go.

We got a 7722 score that's almost 300 points higher than the Paul's hardware gamer's.

Next is beef that were on the phone with on Twitter 8084 total score.

I think this beat Linus because, see, we boost it all the way up to 2190 Max Temp under load 30 c under load.

No idea that they are EMS are, but they're cold.

That's going to compare it online.

That See where we ended up, I might try one more test.

Oh, no, no, no.

Eight boys behind Linus?

No.

His graphic score was a 7 7031 in mind was a 7072.

I hate you, Linus, so much.

All right, one more test.

Okay, so we did one more test just for the heck of it.

Playing with memory speed.

Just a little bit.

Max.

Temp on this room was 29 c.

So that gave us a 77 24 and an 8089.

I'm not sure if that's better than our last score.

Let's take a look over three three behind Line is we're like eight before now.

It's three.

Whatever.

I think it's safe to say, with the exception of Kingpin and a little a little friendly beef going on between Paul and Steve and I clearly all you need's an A C and a custom water block made by scrap parts laying around on the shelf.

Alright, guys, Steve is probably already put up his video regarding the A Iot he put on his card.

Makes you guys check that out.

He's planning on doing some shut mines.

I believe so.

Definitely worth watching head on over to gamers.

Nexus again.

All this is in good fun.

And why the heck not?

So we're gonna go, guys, Thanks for watching.

And as always, we'll see you in the next little sneak peek, too.

At some fall merch that's gonna be dropping here very soon.
