Which PC Parts can Survive being Frozen in ICE? 

The newer GPU was probably still wet which caused shorts, same goes the mouse The hard drive still worked because they're sealed to prevent dust from corrupting data

There seems to be a few problems with this video. I think you should've waited to for it to melt from the beginning without pulling stuff out. Also, you didn't give the parts enough time to dry as the mouse was still wet and the modern graphics card has a lot of crevices for water to be trapped. Finally, when you were testing the motherboard, I noticed the plug on the graphics card side had partially fallen off so it's possible that caused the motherboard to not post.

You should have do a proper drying of all parts before putting them to the test. Obviously the older GPU will survive because there's less tiny air tight zones for the water to stay trap and not dry. And for the new GPU & Mouse it's basically the same story but flipped the other way around.

would be interesting to see the results if they were completely dry and cleaned off water residue

How to cool computer parts: Google: replace thermal paste, increase ventilation/airflow Bing:

The hard drive kept working because there is an airtight seal where the disks are and it prevented water from getting into the disks so it still worked

I would be interested to know how many of the parts survive liquid nitrogen that freezes much faster and more aggressively

Everyone: "why would someone do this?" mryeester: "I think we have computer soup!" Everyone: "understandable, have a nice day"

I was also thinking that the hard drive could have been affected by thermal expansion and water damage but then again it's not a Western Digital or Hitachi drive so it makes sense.

Assuming you let them dry properly every single electrical component will work just fine

The reason the HDD survived is because it has a seal between the actual mechanics and the outside which makes it waterproof. Maybe the board too?

I left my old rig jostling around in the trunk of my car for an entire Maine winter and was quite surprised to see it worked fine when I plugged it back in 😆

Always have a baseline. Meaning, show it is working. Before you froze it. Also some Dell laptop motherboard refuse to boot without CMOS battery. For mouse, you may want to open it before drying.

I really like these longer vids. Even when it’s longer the attention span is really on point. I wounder if you will ever make a pc building video or not. Other than that I really enjoy your experiments

4:44 maybe its because you froze them for 3 days and one of them was more protected

If this guy was patient enough to wait longer after thawing for all the water to evapourate and without prying the components out he might have gotten better results.

Imagine a world where we have zombie pc parts, I wouldn't be surprised if he's behind this

You're iconic in PC community whose every other video is so interesting! Lot's of love!

3:15 I gently disposed the ice mr yeester : Throws the ice

Imagine someone's computer getting frozen in ice during some extinction event, being unearthed by aliens, who then got the HDD data back and just found a massive collection of memes.

2:14 this is what boomers think crypto mining is

Man goes from 10 views to 400 in like -2 seconds Edit thanks for the likes

Finally he did something that I really wanna do when my PC components overheat

Okay guess I won't be freezing my mobo, cpu and ram to save it for later

The damage is mostly caused by liquid damage to more liquid sensitive parts of the graphics card. If you just use liquid nitrogen on the GPU, isolating the rest of the card from liquid damage, you can get it to work. Also there is still water and condensation building up on the card, when you removed the ice.

Would be interesting to see if dissembling and properly drying the parts would help, that would show that the ice/cold is the only thing destroying the components, and not the water.

the amount of problems in this video it’s like u didn’t even want to see which survived and tried ur hardest to break them all

2:22 He took GPU mining too seriously

Nice But is it possible to build a full working PC in a freezer. That would be interesting. Keep your Great Work up :)

HHD are airtight enclosure with only solid state electronics on the outside. This was a very good video showing the differences of electronics

Yes finally a longer video

Cool little test lol, I enjoyed it

Keep up the great work!

i remember dropping some old gpu, the main thing was bent but when i plugged it in my older pc it still worked, cant believe how stuff got more fragile overtime

the reason the hdd still worked fine is because there sort of sealed in a way has some venting in it but very small and would be hard for the water to get inside it so it would've been just hard frozen outside and not internally

freezing it or heating it will have the most minimal and negligible thermal expansion if at all typically damage from thermal expansion are from years of cycles

It was so cold, his CPU was running at peak efficiency 😂

This man is my new favorite tech RU-vidr. Keep up the good work

3:45 thank you for identifying this card. I have it, and could not test it. It had strange DVI port. Nothing could be plugged into it. Now I know, that it is OEM Radeon HD3450, with dual DVD-I port. Thank you.

Takes the "washing your motherboard" meme to a whole other level.

i just love this channel a lot lol

Fun fact. Hard drives are water proof

“Technically this is a soup.” Carful there you are playing with fire.

the hard drive is basically an air/water tight component. there is little to no openings on most modern hard drives for air/water to get in.

Yeester: will gently dispose this ice... Also yeester : *yeets it off the balcony*

Thank you men ❤️❤️❤️💙 It's the best video I've seen

I want to see you freeze a block of ice around an air cooler's fins, then test how it performs when installed

I love your experiments

Seagate has a 1TB per platter structure now, so, i believe if you used either an older Seagate, like from BEFORE the fancy green labels, like when the word Barracuda was in Orange, then there would be more than 1 Platter per TB... OR any of the newer 2TB+ Seagate drives are multiple platters.

i think a lot of the mother board damage came from when you sprayed it directly with the water

you didn't let the dry for long enough

fire video, thanks bro

Thank you very much! What a good video ! Keep up creating contents please :) Really good content for real

this video hurts me seeing those pour parts being blasted with the #1 enemy i feel so bad for those parts

Love your vids!

Should plug some of these in with pure ice on em

Well if freezing didnt kill the parts the crowbar sure will lol

Love your content! Hopefully you get more views and subs!

I washed a GPU card once because it was from a smoke environment. At first it worked great when I thought it was completely dried out, but then came major artifacts, and refused to work right until it was completely dried out with a air hose. Most of the moisture was under the ram and GPU. After that though, it worked flawlessly and gamed with zero issues.

Thermal paste been real quite recently

an ultra random video and first that I watched from you, but damn its a good one

3:21 I love your shirt! I’m a huge TLOZ and fan! Awesome video dude!

Ah yes, best way to solve the shortage.

Technically, everything should be able to survive as long as they naturally melt and are all 100% dried

I was going to say the HDD was fine, then you got the hammer.

Looked fun and devastating. I also have a technical background as radiomechanic.

This is next level cooling

"And i gentely defroze the remaining ice....."THROWS IT FROM 10TH FLOOR"

Finally you uploaded

i went to the the store just to buy some snacks to enjoy this video, love the content 🙃❤

I am not surprised the hard drive worked

I think they all going to survive

Why did I feel that ice bite

As long as certain parts didn't break from the temperature, and it dried first. That all should work. But I'd be worried about the watch battery in the mobo filling with water

maybe try the hdd again but with some data, should be interesting

Probably need too wait longer for the parts too dry out that weren't working in the video here.

Great video, as always your ideas 💡 are super amazing 🤩

Pretty cool test broh 👍

yah i need that for my laptop

There was no CMOS battery installed when you tried to boot the mobo cpu ram combo.

Freeze a full PC with the case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers and maybe other accessories

Man I am so happy. I accidentally froze my hdd the other day and have been wondering if it will be ok.

This video is definitely going to blow up

Me: *plugs the pc in when it’s ice* Pc: GET YOUR BOT HERE AND HEAT ME UP

i'm pretty sure that if instead of just waiting for the things to dry and test them you would open them up, make sure they were all dry and clean, everything would have worked just fine except for the mobo+cpu+ram combo

Air cooling, water cooling and now solid cooling!

"Gently dispose the rest of the ice" yeets ice to oblivion ahahahaa

I have an idea for another video, which is similar to this, but you put all the PC in a freezer and not use any fans or cooling elements.

Next time you freeze a component, if you want to get it out, get a seraded knife, a hammer, make a shallow cut in the ice, and gently but firmly tap on the knife, the ice should then split!

Freezing pc parts said no one, mryeester I’ll do it!

try to freeze half of the components to see if it’s still gonna work or not or even show corruption

I think there's much larger space for water to hide in the newer gpu personally.

Only if the components are completely dried, it will be really helpful video

The new gpu is more complicated in the architecture so it has smaller and more fragile parts that could easily be damaged if treated badly

3:55 You need the gpu driver, i had the same problem with a old GT 640 or GTX Palit 1070 ti

first gpu is same as mine so.. i can freeze it without thinking! thanks man

I think if you'd have fully dried them out, they all would've worked

That computer would be cool now

6:42 im pretty sure the reason it still worked is because drives are sealed so no dust will be able to get in and same for water no water will not be able to get in at least thats what i think

Gently through the ice block you mean yeet it
