I Used My Window AC To Cool My Gaming PC...

Here is the rewritten article:

To do now is just turn it on and see what happens oh yeah that's it's just a beam of cold air going out through there it's worked that's exciting is that all we had to do it just kind of Pops in like that and I don't know I feel like I need to tape it to the AIO and once I secured the be quiet AIO it was time to admire the Magnificent creation and I think it's going to work really well I mean we've got this massive window AC that is now going to be entirely devoted to Cooling that radiator so I don't know I feel like I need to tape it to the AIO and once I secured the be quiet AIO it was time to admire the magnificent creation.

I think it's going to work really well I mean we've got this massive window AC that is now going to be entirely devoted to Cooling that radiator so I can't imagine this not going amazingly this can only be spectacular uh so with that let's turn the PC on okay it's spinning up you can see the majestic be quiet lightwing LX fans are pointing in the correct direction now I'm actually a little bit worried with the system idling turning it on it may do some bad very cold stuff but as it is now we're getting a higher uh idle temperature because the the AI is quite restricted in terms of air being pulled through it.

But let's see what happens when we turn the AC on it's on eco mode again for some reason oh the air coming through the radiator has gotten real cold okay we've lost about 10° of idle temperature now and who the air coming through the radiator is properly cold now. Now again this is on the lowest power so we're on one little thing for fan speed we've got 20 degrees Celsius now in terms of idol and the moment I turned on Ida 64 the temperatures on the CPU jumped to just under 60° C which was higher than I was expecting.

So I decided to try and insulate the tube to protect more of the cold. We have to insulate it in the most Canadian way possible with a flannel wow this is kind of not working as well as I was expecting. I mean again 50° C on a CPU pumping out 140 Watt is I mean there's are good temperatures it's about 20° cooler than it was without this contraption on it so even if this is the best we can do that is pretty impressive.

But even after turning the AC up to Max with our insulation the lowest Ida 64 temperature I could get was 50° C and an interesting Quirk was every time the AC detected the room temperature dropping it would slow down and our CPU temperatures would spike either way with 50° C result. I wanted to see what happened while gaming loading into cyber Punk we're sitting at 25c I may need a faster graphics card so that we get more power drill from our CPU so that it doesn't get condensation issues on it that's a weird issue to have.

Oh no we're good the D Point's 10° C so we we have to lose another 10° C before we need to start worrying about condensation so we're good we're good but yeah I need some more GPU power in here. Because of our Majestic B quiet dark power 13 power supply with its PCIE 5.0 support we can easily drop an RTX 490 in here titanium this is at 1440p Ultra rate racing we're getting 21c on the CPU uh so this is after I've left the AC off for a while so that the ambient temperature rises so that it's down to just blast the AIO.

Uh so this is it really going to town on the radiator and yeah while gaming we've got 21° C which is a lot more what I was looking for. You know it was it it was a bit lame that while Ida 64 was running we were seeing like 40 or 50° C this is a lot better depending on the day we're like close to D point you know that's that I I like that sense of danger around gaming.

With that I think that's about the extent to which we can run this experiment so thank you very much be quiet for sponsoring this video I'm sure if it was a be quiet competitor AIO we were using the lowest temperature we'd get would have been like 78° C I'm pretty sure that's a fact anyway thank you very much for watching the video and until the next one bye-bye oh

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is my relatively new window AC which as you can tell has been very professionally made to fit in a window that it's not compatible with it's some LG thing which has 14,000 BTUs of power I don't know what that means I have zero context for it but it sounds like a lot from the moment it was mounted to this window I knew I had to cool a gaming PC with it so today we're going to do that we're going to put it to good use and this entire ridiculous experiment is very kindly sponsored by be quiet in its entirety now my plan is to strap the window AC to one of be quiet's new light Loop aios hopefully giving us Arctic temperatures on our CPU which I'm sure the light loop with its easy to refill port and lightwing LX fans can manage on its own also available in 360 mil and white but I want to give our ryzen 5900 x a little bit of hypothermia by the end of the video oh I forgot to peel the base I just realized I just wasted like $700 worth of thermal paste there I don't know I feel like somebody needs to take all the yell out behind the shed oh look at that that's that's that's not good and with my terrible mistake rectified it was time to figure out how to set up the system now as you can tell it's not in the best spot for us to hook a PC up to it and it's huge massive and pretty securely installed so I'm not going to move it anywhere so I think the first thing we need to figure out is how to get a PC near enough to it that we can conveniently hook it up to a radiator I think I've got an idea okay yeah I mean I feel like this hand cranked Ikea sit stand desk from 1875 is perfect because we can manually adjust where it is in relation to that which is important because of the duct material that I decided to go with purely because it was the only thing that my local Dollar Store had um but with that let's go get the PC and get started with the testing wait is that a b quiet dark power 13 with 80 plus titanium rating wow I heard those increase the owner's sexual desirability by 133% # sponsored by B guet now in terms of radiator placement I'm not entirely sure but I I guess I'm just going to put it like this and and then tube will happen but before we worry about pleasantries like how exactly we're going to hook our radiator up to the window AC I think we need some baseline readings of what kind of temperatures we're getting from this B quiet aiio on the 5900 X under there in normal circumstances so we can see how much we benefit from the AC so now that we have the system up and running I'm going to run Ido 64 for half an hour because we've got an aiio so we want to heat soak the entire load of liquid in it and then we'll use Hardware info 64 to see how high the temperatures are going to get now for the base run I'm going to measure the ambient temperature of the air but once we hook up the AC I'm going to measure the exhaust temperature of our Contraption so we get an idea of the air temperature cooling the radiate idle we're sitting at about 34 is De C okay so it's been 33 minutes according to Ida 64 and the temperatures haven't move uh we've got peaks of about 67° C which I think is pretty impressive for a 240 mil AIO on 140 W load so I guess now all that's left to do is we need to figure out how to hook this up to that now of course there's only one way that I know how to do things like this and I'm pretty sure that you already know what it is and it's duct tape and cardboard which is I mean it's called duct tape it's in the name I'm going to make a duct so it makes sense I mean if anything here we have a very good example of my duct taping skills just right behind the desk now to make the actual docked bits should be pretty straightforward I'm just going to cut up some cardboard in the shapes that I need duct tape it to the bits that I need it connected to and then what more is there to it my kindergarten skill level arts and crafts should be able to manage that the problem is is connecting the two bits of dot because I went to my local dollar store and unfortunately they didn't have any convenient window AC to aiio ducts lying around I think it's weird that they don't stock that but what can you do but luckily they had this and by this I don't mean the bit of lawn ornament I mean the tube that it's stored in I saw that there was just one bit of lawn ornament left so I asked the lady if I bought the lawn ornament could I have the tube and she agreed she was a bit confused but she agreed so now we have a way to connect our two things now I'm a little bit concerned about length because at the moment it looks like it's about twice as long as we need uh but I'm not going to cut it yet cuz I yeah this is a very rough measurement so I think what we do is we build the duct first and then we figure out how long this needs to be wow that is perfect so this bit is exactly the correct length so again that looks pretty Perfect The Next Step was to very professionally measure out the side bits of our funnel so that I could cut those pieces to size and start duct taping together our funnel it fits almost like I half measured oh look at that that's also perfect so now I just need to make the bits where I connect this on okay that makes sense but when I went to half measure the tube placement I noticed a bit of a problem so I'm going to have to cut a bit of an angle in here so that it doesn't point up out of the AC but kind of down out of the AC like that the angle should sort itself out right cuz I'm just going to go from here down to the edge so then it it'll be the same because it's from the same height to the same height however my first attempt at careful modification wasn't quite enough yeah I I'd say that's definitely better but we can have more of an angle to be honest so I cut in a more aggressive angle and started adding in the last bits of cardboard so I've got the second bit of fill which it doesn't quite fill in that Gap but I've had a genius idea I'm going to take this bit and we're going to like weld it over like that but we're going to cut out a circle in it so that we have a really clean fit that's so smart cutting the gasket required Max concentration of all of my cardboard cutting skills but the result was very usable so all there was left to do was to make the funnel for the radiator side which for someone with my immense skill was very easy which was especially helped by the aiio being made by be quiet which adds Five Points to my engineering skills okay I think that looks amazing it's worked out super well and there's even very little bleed happening around the edges like the only air is coming out through this hole now the reason that I've decided to funnel the air through an AIO radiator as opposed to funneling it into a case and just having the window AC cool the entire PC is because I think the air coming from the window AC is very cold and it's going to cause some condensation issues inside the PC case which is going to be really difficult to control whereas this way it's just going to make the AI run very cold and I don't know if it's going to lead us to kind of condensation temperatures on the CPU so I don't think I have to worry about any of those issues although I'm potentially foreshadowing here and I'm going to destroy this system we'll see what happens but before we get to that I need to turn the fans around on the radiator so that they don't fight the air coming from the AC and then we need to hook everything up attaching the duct to the window AC required some more complicated duct tape work than with the aiio but I got there eventually so what I'm going to do now is just turn it on and see what happens oh yeah that's it's just a beam of cold air going out through there it's worked that's exciting is that all we had to do it just kind of Pops in like that and I don't know I feel like I need to tape it to the AIO and once I
