Something’s Growing in a Pool-Cooled Gaming PC

Linus and the team dove head-first into cooling their LAN Center rigs with swimming pool water—after knocking out the corrosion issues, they discovered a funky smell and mysterious biofilm thriving in the loop. Armed with cleaning agents (and even a “death ray” UV setup), they pull the PCs apart to track down and kill whatever’s colonizing the pipes.

Despite flushing, scrubbing, and zapping, the infestation proves stubborn, prompting multiple rounds of testing—so tune in to see if they finally clean house or if the pool critter survives to haunt their next gaming session.
