Have you ever thought about what a self-cooling PC build would like? Well, the brain behind DIY Perks , a YouTube channel focused on highly sophisticated DIY gadgetry, has made that abstract idea a reality. DIY Perks

Here you can see the size of the final build DIY Perks

The breathing PC manages to keep the heat generated by the system to 62° C. It’s a pretty remarkable figure considering the components used in the build, which includes both an AMD 5950x and a Zotac RTX 3080. DIY Perks

Within the top section of the build you can see how the PC components are cooled by passive valves on either side that open/close from air pressure DIY Perks

The genesis of this project stems from a homemade bellow system that can move air without the use of fans — obviously the logical follow-up would be to incorporate the device into a high-powered PC. DIY Perks

The soundless movement within the bellow system was created through the combination of acrylic sheets, water, and some magnets DIY Perks

Here’s a more comprehensive list of the PC components used in the rig: - AMD Ryzen 9 5950x processor - Zotac RTX 3080 graphics card - Crucial 64g RAM kit - Alphacool Eisbaer (solo) CPU block DIY Perks

Of course this project didn’t proceed without any hiccups — during its construction a crucial piece of the bellow system broke and the magnet piece being transferred through acrylic tubing had to be enlarged in order to fit a new tube. DIY Perks
