First Water Cooled Mac Studio

How good of a job did Apple do with the cooling on the Mac Studio?? Well it definitely isn't as good as our custom water cooling solution, I can tell you that much.

Whoever designed the cooler mechanism so that it's (almost) compatible with the Threadripper mounting mechanism is getting the boot.

[ShasLaMontyr]

Alex being equal parts relieved and angry that the Mac doesn't care about having no fans was quality content.

[CalumRaasay]

That was worth it just for looks alone. Like Linus said, it’s literally a hot rod Mac Studio! Amazing work!

[trevalyon]

Nick: "This is dumb in all the right ways..."
Alex: "Thank you! That's what I was going for..."

"Sketchy cooling solutions with Alex" will always be an all-time favorite of mine, around here. ^_^

12:08 LTT knows how to do it all over again, and get the joj done right, the first time.

[MakeItWithCalvin]

As a machinist, I would have done a similar hold-down setup for the milling. My only comment would be maybe using bolts instead of the threaded posts & nuts for a lower profile but hey, it worked. That is all that matters!

[iana.]

I do love these monthly builds featuring Alex. It's like my month won't be complete without seeing him carefully -violently mutilate- handle hardware to execute a really dope concept.

[dekkonot]

Alex inviting his boss in to show him what he spent a week working on at the end of every video is a vibe

[_Sigfried_]

This video was hilarious from start to finish.
Props not only to Alex but a lot of kudos to the editors for the immaculate timing!

[draco]

These videos with Alex are truly a treat, I know it takes a lot of RND to do but my god do I love it

[lasarith]

When Linus brings out more Mac models then Apple themselves.

23 secs later: water flows out of the apple

[popejohnny]

Alex’s commentary on the fans not throwing a warning. Which was good for them, but also very bad in general was priceless.

[gremlynmusic]

Strangely enough, mid way through the video, I was beginning to feel the YTP vibes, with the rapid fire chiseling hammer hits. And then that "do it all over again" clip from CS188 drops in. Wow. Such a YouTube throwback. Thanks LMG Editors

[industrialvectors]

Alex did a bang up job. Editing is through the roof.

[wsm]

It should have been tested on a longer task. I believe the performance difference will be observed doing longer workloads

[MichaelKlements]

Water cooling things that ought not to be water cooled always lands up taking way longer than expected haha. Loving Alex's unnecessary but awesome builds!

[joakimp]

Linus have so many employees that are so entertaining and enjoyable to watch. It's awsome!

[joshpark]

Love that shot at 16:37! Good to see products in dramatic lighting, not just RGB colors splashed everywhere.

[EnviousGenome]

The day 3 transition with the new haircut 8:20 phenomenal.
