- We spend a not
insignificant amount of time browsing websites like AliExpress and wish for the coolest craziest gadgets, and today is no exception. Allow me to introduce the MOD-X water pump mobile phone cooler for Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, iPhone ten ten or 11 LG phone smartphone cooling case phone gamer cooler from MOD-X. Yes my friends this is
a phone water cooler specifically for gamers and it will allow you to
eat chicken on the king. Is that a PUBG reference? - Yeah, like winner winner chicken dinner. - Eat chicken on the king. Sounds more like eat chicken on the can. Speaking of cans, can I save way to our sponsor, yes, I can. The Aorus 15G features an
Intel 10th Gen processor and as a pro-gaming notebook
with strong performance, battery life and many more features. Check it out today at the
link in the video description. (upbeat music) Say goodbye to traditional fan cooling, with this I'm going to go from temperature when play game abnormal 67 C to temperature when play game normal 37 C and we're just going to say goodbye to traditional fan cooling. Wow this is the cheapest
thing I have ever felt. This is US $25. Look at it, it's like a squeeze bottle. - It's like a water bottle. - So for the pump they're using is simple submersible design. So this is anywhere from three
and a half to nine volts, one to three watts and then they've got a USB plug, so you can just power that
with with a battery bank when you're on the go. Reasonably long cable actually and the cable doesn't
feel particularly cheap. I'm guessing somebody else made the pump, something something 50 mils, Andy. Sorry, did you say icebag? - ICE, ice bag. - No, no, you put it in the thing. - [Jake] Yeah. Okay, thanks Andy. I'm a little uncertain so we
got a little holy hole here and then it seems like
it's just like some kind of Velcro like fastener there. Okay, so you can fill it
anywhere from 50 to 100 mils. You dawg, I heard you like ice packs, so I put an ice pack on your ice pack. Says water cooled mobile phone radiator and that happens to be the one part of a water cooling system that is not included, a radiator. So I guess that's the ideas, they actually give you three of these gel crystal filled packs here. And then you just pop
that sucker in there. And you're off to the
races Ladies and gentlemen. - Should we fill it up and just try it? - 100%, 100%. - Now one of the pump works. That would be really crappy if it didn't. - That would be a bummer
lttstore.com here you go. All right, that's actually a lot of water, I can see how even without a radiator for the amount of time
you would reasonably spend like hunched over a mobile device gaming, this would probably be enough
to just absorb the heat. - I think you underestimate how much candy crush people play. - I like the position of
the fittings on the back. I think that's pretty ergonomic. Like by the time you got your
shoulder buttons or whatever, attachment doodads or whatever on there. - Yeah, so it's a small hand test? - Yeah, that's a small hand test but I'd probably hold this here. And apparently, these
guys have support for, what do they say? - It says 99% of phones they have. - 99% of phones, on the one hand I don't believe it
because that's impossible. There are so many phones out there, but on the other hand, it looks like the way
that they produce these is actually pretty, pretty cookie cutter. Like they basically just
need to get their hands on the device and creating this like simple, flexible plastic mold. And then like a second layer here that acts as a water bladder. It's pretty straightforward. Is this what I think it is, it's mood ring stuff. - No, no, it's like a, it's a temperature sticker. - Yeah, but like, like mood ring style. - So we put our little sticky on there. - Yeah, read only this. Is this for the phone or is this for the water then again, no, no, it's got to be. No, no, it's got to be for the phone. Because it says right
here phone temperature when play game 37 degrees. - Beyond our scale. - And so that one will change
a different color, maybe. - Don't put it on the phone. - I want it on the phone, Jake. - That's gonna hurt our testing result. - I want it on the phone, Jake. - The people need to know. - Oh, we already have
a sticker on our phone D brand or whatever. - [Jake] Yeah, put it on the water. - Fine, hold on, gotta get
some sticker perfection, going on here. Very perfectly aligned, okay. - Let's see. - It's not perfect. It's a little cryptic. - Only twenty three-ish? - Yeah, that's what the sticker said. Why didn't you trust the sticker, Jake? - I don't know. So which one do we want to start with, should we do 3d Mark, should we just do that throttle test? - I want to go straight to 3d Mark. - 3d mark, if you're if you're doing an extended gaming session-- - You should probably plugged in. - Yeah. - Yeah, so we should
be plugged in for sure. - If you have this, realistically you're plugged in. - Yeah. - What is extreme unlimited, does that one just keep going. - I'm a little weirded out by the fittings that I'm looking at here. So these seem to be some kind
of a like a pass through. Okay, I get it. So you tighten down the color and it kind of squeezes like, these, these plastic pieces so they hold the tubing in place. You can see there, you can kind of separate them out there. And then as for the pump, you just kind of, it's a submersible pump anyway, so doesn't really matter
if it's a perfect seal. So you just kind of jam
that puppy in there, go. - Did you, oh man. - No. - Okay. - It's fine. And then on the other side, we've just got a simple insertion fitting that hopefully doesn't leak. Are you ready, you ready? - Oh, that water flow is not good. - That's it. - It doesn't even fill up, what. - We're on our second 3d Mark run and what kind of attempts
are we looking at here? - I think on the top right now we're looking at about 43.3. - Yeah, that's pretty reflective though. Let's look at the back. - An the back 43.6, almost 44 we're getting there. - It's gonna take a minute to heat up. - It's starting to become uncomfortable. - We've gotta get to temperature when play game abnormal 67 C. - Well, that's like the CPU temp rank. - Yeah, give it sometime. - The surface temperatures are going down. - Yeah. - Our screen is 41,42 in the back is 43. And we just finished our fourth run, look at those numbers. - But the scores are way down. So it's throttling to keep the surface temperatures under control, which means after just
three and a half runs, we've reached the point
where there could be-- - A benefit. - A clear benefit, get
it get it clear benefit. Got them, clear benefit to using our phone water cooler. However, before we use this, I kind of want to know how bad that gets, and I want to deal with
the false advertising on the packaging for this product. So first of all, the implication here seems to
be that there's some sort of RGB lighting in the reservoir. I mean, that product photo looks nothing like what they deliver. Okay, and flipping
around to the other side. The tubing or the water. Something is clearly blue. So I feel like our water needs to be blue. - Yes. - Oh, yeah. - Wow. - Dye pack. - Don't forget, look at that water flow. Just hold on, hold on. Actually, that's hilarious. It's actually-- - It's not a stream, it's just a drip. - Yeah, hit me with some
more blue here, Jake. - That's a lot of blue. It looks looks kinda like
the product page now. - Gosh, it's so slow looking actually, you can see here hold
on if I put this down-- - There's no water flow
at the edges of the case. - You're just gonna dip it, oh man. Oh yeah. - Look at the other LEDs there tripping man. There's no way that that's not
short circuit aid right now. Should we give it a few
minutes to cool down? - No, I think we should
just let this thing work its magic right away. Other than being a little bit on the bulgy side, which obviously it needs
because it's got that that water bladder, you can really see that there. It actually fits the phone, pretty well. Gotta give credit where credit is due, I mean bad website, misleading box but like that's, that's on there. - Look at the camera. It's like 37 degrees on the camera and then ice cold on the back. Okay, well not ice cold yet. - Not ice cold yet. - I just realized this is actually bad that the RGB surface in there we're heating the water with it. - Oh not much it's I can see it. - Chill out. - It's 25 degrees on that RGB strip and we're hurting our results, Linus. - I think we're okay so OpenGL. - Arnold. - But Vulcan, oh, that's on par. - No. - So I guess it just
took second to pull out. - It took a really long time because it is not very
thermally conductive. - We didn't give it any
time to cool down either we probably should have but let's see how it goes man. - Oh, no because this is, this is exactly what we want to know. - This is the use cases. - Yeah. - You just slap it on, does it does it fix problem. - Does it fix the problem. - It crashed. - Way to go, now you interrupted it. Well, it said 70 to 70. As of the result, it look
like our benchmark crashed. But that score. That's Better. That's almost as good as the first run. Oh, please don't crash this time it is getting a little warmer. - No, actually the reservoir
is getting a touch warmer. So you can see it's hovering
somewhere between 24 and 26 now instead of 20 to 24, so it's definitely heating up. We're done, 7263 and 6578. How are we doing? - That's basically spot
on with the first run. (cheering) - It works. It works. - No way. - The system works. And now I'm gonna go see
if our ice pack is cold. - Wow, okay, yeah, minus five, minus five and a half. - Yeah, it's completely frozen. I made the mistake of freezing it flat. And I didn't realize this
is the not very useful gel, kind of a cold pack where it doesn't. It's not really a gel. It's just ice. Oh, man, can we just get ice? - No. - Oh my god. - This is not very well thought out. - [Jake] I mean, I can see the
ice pack through the water. - I think it is getting colder. I feel like I'm having
like Anakin Skywalker but it's working. - [Jake] The thermal camera says, 20 and a half 21 degrees. - [Linus] Oh yeah, and the sticker says 20 and a half, 21 degrees. - That's good thing. We got that on there. - The sticker works great. It's my idea to put it on the reservoir. - Right, totally. Good job Linus. Video evidence will show
that it was my idea. No, no, it's got to be for the fault. - The water distribution
is still terrible. It's like 26 degrees in the corner, and then like 18 on the floor. - What if I use the little bubble that's in there to like, mix up the water. How about that, does that work? - - [Jake] No, it did
move it around a bit. All I'm seeing is like the
residual heat from your finger. No, actually yeah it did work. - - [Linus] Wow, this
is actually kind of cool on my fingertips though. - - [Jake] Yeah. - But that's not great
of a user experience. - Okay, Good morning. - I just need more ice. Can't play PUBG. - We're not even playing PUBG. Oh, nice snort there. - Is this stupid. We called now boys. - [Jake] 11.4. - [Linus] Yeah, we drop it. - [Jake] Pick it up,
let's see how cool it is. I mean the phone not the, good try though. Oh, it's like black. - [Linus] Nice. - [Jake] 10.8 degrees - Oh, I'm starting to get
some condensation on the case. You know, thank goodness this
phone is IP rated, right? - [Jake] Yeah. - So we can use you know, a good cooler on it. - [Jake] After this test, should you try it and
try to do some gaming. That will evaluate the feel. - I can already tell
it's pretty unpleasant. Like it's like my fingers are very cold. I think it's more reasonable to have it running near ambient and it works well enough. - Yeah. - We're just trying to
see if we can squeeze more performance out of it at this point. Okay, here we go. You're ready for a score. You ready for a score boys? 7270, 6596. That made no difference at all. - [Jake] It's exactly the same. Okay, actually the Vulcan
run is the highest number we've seen so far. - [Linus] Yeah. - [Jake] But it's not like it's gonna overclock itself. - Silliness with the
dumb included gel packs that don't really fit in the reservoir and uninspiring build quality aside, this thing actually works. So even with the limited thermal transfer from a thin plastic layer, enough heat is drawn away from the phone. And it takes so long for the
reservoir to heat up that ice. I would say this is
actually a reasonable way to cool your phone as soon, look Jake, assuming that obviously you don't need to, you know, move anywhere over
an extended period of time which obviously you don't, because you're sitting playing PUBG mobile for hours at a time, and compared to other solutions that we've looked at in the past. What's nice about this one is that if you're done playing PUBG mobile, you want to actually
take your phone with you and not be attached to
your water cooling setup, you just pop it out of the case. It's that quick, and it's off to the races. I don't know that I
would spend US $25 on it, but Andy said you can
get them for as little as like seven or $8. - I think it was like five or 10. - If thermal throttling on your phone is legitimately a problem for you. It works, this is not
the dumbest solution. - You probably don't need ice. - No, no, the ice is done. - Yeah, I mean it works, I guess. - It really works. - Just like my segues to sponsors like Micro Center is open to supply all your work from home or learn from home technology needs. They've got the main gear
vector two gaming laptop available for 1299 on
micro center comm or 1399 over on Amazon. It's got a core i710 758 processor, NVIDIA GeForce R TX 2060 graphics, 16 gigs of RAM DDR 429 33 Ram, a terabyte of solid state storage and a 15.6 inch full HD 144 hertz display. Check out it and other
micro center specials at the links down below. If you guys enjoyed this
crazy cooling video, you might enjoy sink water cooling a PC, we can link that one down below or maybe a water cooling a
ti 84 graphing calculator. That one resulted in some pretty significant performance gains. - I didn't watch it. - In fairness, it was it was a big deal. - I we'll watch it. - Doom went from like-- - Doom? - Yeah, yeah. (laughs) - On the calculator? - I'm playing Doom on the calculator. - It went from what I have, like? - Went from like, not playable to like almost playable.
What about a peltier cooler?

Or

Ine the last picture they mentions peltier module.
Unsure how effective it is but interesting. When I get my Nexdock I'll look into one of these attached to the screeen
Hello condensation for USB c port. This is tech torture. Remember that the only phone maker that put this oddy message is Samsung 😅 . Better if you use oil. In a few years probably this not will be a problem because the Android games continue to have low detail graphics
but it wpnt fit in the dex station you could only use some usb c hub then...
i think a cooling dock would have been nice for dex
I have been working on making a wireless Dex setup using a Mokin wireless adapter but the unit generates alot of heat so i would be interested if there was a portable cooling unit but this thing does not look worth the effot it would take to cool a phone down.
Haha I commented exactly that on the vid the day it came out. Still totally ridiculous though lol
Wouldn't this kind of technique create moist inside? or not since it is sealed off properly?
This is stupid, and ridiculous, yet actually seems to work....
for someone doing a LOT of DeX stuff while at a desk, this would actually be fairly legit Buy the MOD X Phone Watercooler: On AliExpress: https://lmg.gg/yi7JR
