Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Cooling a PC with a 2.5HP Pump”.
Before you tell us, this is an incredibly stupid idea. Trust us we know Alex, did the math. So according to Bernoulli’s Equation, going through this adapter right here, ( indistinct speech, ) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but none of that’s important., What’s important is that we are going to use this two-and-a-half horsepower gasoline powered pump to Water cool, A PC and no matter how stupid it is. You can’t wait to see it. Just like you can’t wait to hear about our sponsor.

You cut me off before we can get to the good part.. This D5 pump has an approximate flow velocity of 11 kilometers per hour. Wow. That’S actually a lot faster than I thought it would be.
Take a guess what it will be with this pump.. I don’t think I have to guess.. I think you put it here..
Oh, you didn’t you bastard. Holy crap, 1800 Watts. Yeah, that’s two and a half horsepower.
50 kilometers an hour 74.8. Holy.. We could conceivably be talking about this thing. Blowing the tubes off of our blocks.
Then. [ Alex ], Oh yeah! That’S what this entire setup is. About. [ Linus ]. I love that it’s called power fist..
This here is a pump for real men., And this is not just a pump.. This is for transferring water muffins.. This thing could hold a column of water 85 feet in the air.
Use as intended. How little fun is that Wow? This is the size of a fricking lawnmower, engine. A lawnmower engine with a pump on it.. Now this ain’t a pump. This is a pump. Now, obviously, we’re gon na need some adapters.
And that’s where this hardware that we probably paid way too much money for comes in. Ahoy there morons.. How much did this a adapter to adapter to adapter to adapter cost us. [ Alex ]? I’M not sure actually this was Jamie’s solution. And I agree it’s not a bad solution.. Is this one of the ones where you mix the oil in with the gas or …? No, you just put it in here until it overflows..
I am pretty sure these are gon na leak, but it doesn’t really matter. We’ll just tighten them until they don’t.. I don’t think it works that way. Yeah it does they’re NPT. What is this? I think it might be compressed air fitting. Yeah..
Oh wow, that’s got a greater inner diameter, but it’s also going straight from fricking here to that. I juggle and the last one left in my hands. We use. Okay. Okay.. We use this one., Okay, cool. Ha ha.
You did it.. You brought an adjustable wrench.. This is a perfectly fine time to use an adjustable wrench.
Yeah. It is.. You can round these and it’s not really a problem. Holy crap is this: it We just hook it up and go Well.
We need the suction side. And a professional sucker always brings his hose.. It’S long.
And ribbed.. My pasty nerd skin, cannot take the sun, especially after wintering for six months. Check this out.. We got a big garbage pale because we figure that makes sense.
There’s a lot of gunk floating in it. [ Alex ] Yeah Jamie took a filter through it as well and kind of cleaned it out.. It didn’t work very well..
The first thing we have to do is just hook it up and go right. Oh yeah., All right, let’s put some gas in.. I love this.
This is good safety right here.. You should always have your fuel stored, a safe distance away from anything that could possibly spark. Yeah Jamie suggested that we should get some gasoline on the hot exhaust.
That’S right beside it., No, he didn’t.. Ah, yes, primed. Do we have a little like pumpadoodle for priming. It I really don’t know if this is the way to prime it Alex.. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and they said that this is the way to do. It.. Okay, priming means getting the water from here to the actual inlet of the pump’cause. If you run this bad boy, dry, you’re not gon na, like it, no matter how much choke you apply., Okay, that almost never happens to me. ( motor roars to life. ), Oh hey, how you doing there buddy [ Alex ], So it’s actually sucking it..
This is really not a good way to do. This. Alex for crying out loud. Here.
If I just help you line it up, it’ll be okay. My hand slipped. It did not.. Ah, okay, that’s good.. I feel like Charlie Brown, with the football getting back in there. Again., It’s a dated: reference.
( pump motor roaring, ), Woo, ooh. Whoa.. Sorry, I slipped. I slipped. ( jovial classical music ), I’m not 100 % sure that this PC is going to …. Well, it’s already dead, so it can’t not survive..
But you know the fittings that are in here. I don’t know if they’re gon na be up for the task., We do have these ones from Alpha Cool that have little metal barbs in them. That should be fine., But we only have those in boot with this Sleeper PC. I don’t know if I wan na hook that up to this, But first the test on the broken hardware.
Yeah. – Oh that’s, leaking. Whoa, oh shoot., Maybe turn it off.
Yep. I got it. I got it. Holy bananas..
I might have just forgot a fit.. Oh that’ll. Do it. Alex Premo. Turn it up.
A bit. Wait ah.. Ah, it really seems like it’s not blowing that fast..
Let’S give her more juice. Yeah. It seems like something: wrong., Something’s, leaking., Ah dammit.
Sorry.. I just changed into dry clothes.. I think there’s just a ton of pressure in the loop. Yeah.
It seems like a lot of pressure and not a lot of-, Not a lot of flow. Yeah. It’S weird. And I think, there’s something back here: leaking or something.. Is this radiator leaking [ Alex ]? I think there is a fitting on the bottom of it.. That’S definitely where it was coming out: of., Okay, let’s get that tightened. Down. Whoa this just slipped off! Too.
These compressions are not the right size for this tubing.. I was hoping it would blow off when we turned the thing on.. Well, it did. You booby, trapped it, which makes me wonder how often he screws me over like that.. Do you think we should switch to our higher flow rate I.D. Barb over here, I kind of feel like we should.
Yeah maybe.. Let’S do that.. What are you doing? What the crap. You see this play here, [ Alex ], Oh yeah, that’s kinda! Weird.! We didn’t learn anything., There’s a lot of vibration. Here. [ Alex ].
Oh, the thing fell: out. [, Linus ]. This is going really well. [ Alex ]. Why is this so bad? You know what it’s designed for a hose., Something that’s supposed to have a lip around it.. I don’t think the flow rate’s, much faster anyway.
[, Alex ] No. [ Linus ] We might as well just go back to the other one.. Is that full bar No. ( motor revs, higher ) Whoa.
[ Alex ] There we go. [ Linus ]. Why is there so little like-, Ah ( beep )? What I’m doing right now is. I am using these quick connects at the bottom of the Bunta Sleeper PC.
We’re gon na connect our gasoline powered pump to this loop.. I was really excited about this moment, but now that it’s actually time to pull the rip cord, This is my favorite PC. I’Ve ever built in the five years I’ve been here. The D5. That’S in here, the like normal computer, water cooling pump, is having absolutely no trouble pumping through our gas-powered pump. So we should disconnect that pump. Yeah. I was thinking about that..
I don’t know if we can. Really Alex Like. I know that you have pretty small hands but like-.
Oh balls. ( pump bursts into life ). I wan na see some real good performance here.. Let’S do FurMark., Let’s also grab MSI Afterburner.. We can probably over-clock it a bit., I don’t think that’ll be necessary.
Alex. [ Alex ] No, but this is the shunt mod of GPU.. We can pull 800 Watts.
God it stinks. Where’s the exhaust. Oh I’m right next to it. At the lowest setting here. I’D say our gas pump is actually not materially different from a normal water cooling pump.. Looking at the flow meter, she ain’t really doing that much.
How’s our GPU temps, looking 42.8 degrees., Okay, that’s pretty low.! Considering we’re running FurMark, a stress test.. How many Watts are we drawing So about 600 Watts right now.? This is a really good water block.. Well, maybe I should run FurMark at a higher res..
Ah, there we go 370., So it’s a bit over 700 Watts And we’re up to 44 and a half degrees.. The question that remains is by cranking this sucker up and increasing our flow rate to the point we’re at risk of blowing our tubes off our fittings.. Will we get a performance benefit Like me? Do you feel as if your whole life led you to this moment, Yes.? Okay, we’re ready, Yep., Oh jeez.? What are we at? We dropped one and a half degrees.
Yeah, I’m giving her more.. Oh, that was it. Wow.
It’S really going, though hey. [ Alex ] Yeah., [ Linus, ] 35 degrees on the GPU is pretty impressive., And I really wan na do a 3D mark.. I gave it a little bit of an overclock.. It should be stable, might not. We’ll see.. This is next level right.
Most people start gaming. Their fans turn on a little bit louder, restart gaming.. We got ta, give her more gas.. Take that dinosaurs.
Look at’em, go that’s awesome, hey Not really. We might be able to overclock our pump. [ Linus ]. Wait. What [ Alex ]? Oh there we go. She’s, really going now.. Oh we’re leaking a bit. All right. I think that’s coming from in the PC. [ Linus ].
What this is terrifying., Oh, my God, is it overheating. Is it smoking [ Alex ]? It smells really bad. [ Linus, ] Whoa, whoa okay.. I think this may be the stupidest thing. We’Ve ever done. Yeah probably.. We got our score.
[ Alex ]. What’S really impressive here that graphic score is like 100 off of when I had the chiller hooked up to it. Really that’s fricking crazy. We only hit 44. [ Alex ] And it drew and maxed … [ Linus ] About 760 Watts.
Yeah. Unfreakinbelievable.. I think that D5 pump might be dead. She’s, not moving.
No signs of life. Wait. Oh she’s trying something.! Well, let’s get the shut down.! Oh heck yeah. I think she’s back. [ Alex ].
Oh yeah, there we go. That’s awesome., You’re, all right. She’s alive.. A really important thing to note about the performance we saw, though, is that we were using pre-cooled water.. So we didn’t have to deal with all the extra heat that a gas-powered pump would be dumping into our loop.. We got all the benefit of fast flowing water, but none of the drawbacks..
