With the Tesla M40s, I was able to create a powerful and economic virtual machine box capable of hosting 4 gamers simultaneously. There was only one issue.... it was LOUD.

Water cooling them seemed like a good solution to eliminate the deafening blast of the blower fans I needed to keep them cool. And to keep the cost down, I turned to the usual suspects from AliExpress and Amazon.

But first... What am I drinking???

Block 15 Brewing (Corvallis, OR) Sticky Hands Tropical IPA (7.8%)

  • Water cooling turned your teslas into a baby? Amazing how advanced technology is nowadays
  • Your GPU server vids make me want to run a single thin client and just remote in to play games. Also a great option for kids. Give them raspberry pi's with parsec to the game server. 17:40 Player 2 is adorable

    I don’t know why it is so entertaining to me, but as someone who has built and rebuilt open loop water cooling systems a number of times, watching someone else run into a variety of similar issues to what I’ve had is very validating, and I rarely tire of it. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs, very very relatable!
  • jeff, it's so nice that you saved some of that draft latte for the baby. awesome work on this build.
  • A nice pair of 92mm slim black fans (one per card) on a 3d printed bracket cooling the VRM/PCB would be spiffy. But in general optimizing the case airflow and putting the panels on could solve that issue as is.

    Ohh I've been waiting patiently for this video. can't wait to see how it turned out
  • Woop Woop Swiftech! Man you're on a roll with showcasing parts from name-brand-but-lesser talked about brands or product lines for water-cooling.
  • Always good fun to see a great value approach
  • You can run the fans on 7v by using the 12v as positive, and 5v as negative. The fans don't care, they just see a voltage differential. A better solution though would be an external fan controller.
  • Your GPU gaming VM's was a great series to follow with you.. I have X79 system with 256GB ram 2780 with 2 Quatro RTX3000 cards, I'm having nightmares with.. I just cant split the GPU's with good results.. So I'm limited to 2 GPU based VM's that's working just perfectly, but artifacting like mad when split into 4 systems
  • I always click as soon as you post a video. Working the wetrack at Safeway listening to the video lol
  • @CptPatch
    The real question is, what's that milky-looking beer that the baby was drinking?
  • @quest791
    Next time consider using a copper shim to have the water block connect with the die. This will allow the block to contact the die and the backplane and let you cool everything. Just something I have done before
  • Hey Jeff, loved the video. Good to see your little apprentice too. Wonder what he thinks of the "brew" in that bottle. 🤔 Lastly, I couldn't help but notice the Whisper Project shirt. Perfect for this build, even if Jerry is working on a HMMWV which is miles apart from building a PC.

    Advertises thumb trackball, immediately switches scene to prominent Elecom Huge. Never change Jeff.
  • Great Content. You're so underrated compared to anyone. You should be the Linus Tech Tips and themyster. But, you're serious and a seriously great content creator.

    I've had aliexpress water cooling stuff for the past 10 years, running almost non stop. Works fine
