One of my custom cooled gaming machines decided to leak. So what caused this water damage? Was it my fault? And how can I stop this from happening again?

Damn, Linus is fancy AF. Fried chicken places are expensive. Must be nice having a boss who lives in a mansion lol
I feel like like eventually you're going to find that one of the electrical devices or wires is leaking voltage to the water and not to ground which would trip a breaker, pop a fuse, ect. Ive seen this happen on geothermal units where the well pump wires were leaking to ground, but there was no ground other than the water which carried small current into the house and through the machines, eating about 100,000 in copper/nickel coils and piping away till they were paper thin and full of pin holes. Long story short I had confirmed this by checking the water main with an amp probe (clamp style) and it read current till we found the water main ground was missing, at which point it was hooked up and started burning up pumps and tripping breakers as it should have before it did all that damage.

why the audio do not matching with the video?
on our LAST episode, dude, speak normally
THE EXPLOSION JUMP SCARES REALLY SUCKED ….
Engineer here too(this seems to be a thing here) – this was the thinnest seperate grounding wire i've ever seen. Would have use at least 10 or 16mm² – convert this to your freedom units
I guess having mulitple high end systems in a rack in your basement and then decide to diy "whole-room-watercooling" is quite ambitious. But seeing multimillion-subscriber youtubers fail makes me feel better anyway. PS that grounding wire looks veeeery suspicious. Pls let your electrician revise it.

Way easier with esp32/ESPHOME/HomeAssistant. 😉
Of course it was his fault. He's useless at literally everything he does
I love the all the House- Lab- Homeimpovement Videos!
Sure ! Whatever !
shutdown /s /f /t 0
I love how these videos encourages and discourages DIYing at the same time.
You're going to have an insane number of ground loops there

Ahh the comment about wireless should have gone with KNX
16:12 that legit scared me
Says it's a PowerShell command, then does a command line shutdown /s ;D Use Stop-Computer Jake!
Quick one, would not pink color actually isolate rack from grounding strip? Maybe not but i would check that out to be sure
I'm really tired of waiting for a new compensator series video
Wouldnt it be usefull if the computers are shut down when the flow rate gets to high? If there is a mayor leak like the coroodet fitting i would assume that the flow rate would increase to a higher than normal level because the backpressure in the loop suddenly changed.
Would wiring the ground to standard wall plug with only a ground prong be easier than running another cable?
Isolate before you annihilate.
It's funny how you create more problems with each solution, and make it all super complex in the process 😂
Note to self: Don't use products that contain any corrosive materials. Problem solved, ish. It'd be great to be able to find products like that easily, like as a search filter option on shopping services.
This video just made me realize of smart Jake really is…I am far beyond impressed!
HE IS GOING BACK TO HIS OLD WAYS AND NEEDS TO BE WATCHED AGAIN
Too stupid and complicated system, you just need to use air cooling, put all the equipment in an air-conditioned room, and put an air purifier.
20:23 what keyboard?
Jake is wildly smart.
where is the De-Ox? Watching this as an electrician is hard.
