00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,359
ladies and gentlemen children of all ages we are back with part two of our

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:12,320
hack pro build and in front of me you can see the case is torn apart and

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,440
in other exciting news we've also got

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,199
this this is the adapter that we're gonna

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:22,080
need to install our motherboard into

6
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,920
this chassis so today's plan is to install the motherboard tray make sure

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:30,400
we got our measurements correct guys we're gonna need every millimeter we can

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,880
get in this build and then make the adapter plate for the back of the case

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,840
which is going to go in there

10
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:42,960
before we do that though we're going to show you how we got to this point by

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,239
taking apart ah here it is this oh it's so heavy

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,960
power mac g5

LTT

18
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,920
before we get started on our teardown we need to make sure that all of our

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,880
hardware still works after everything we've done to it you know removing the

20
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,320
heatsinks and stuff and that it boots into macOS

21
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,479
that's why they're all there ah thank you that

22
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,479
could have been really bad

23
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,799
it's on i don't see any power going to the board though yeah like nothing's

24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,759
lighting up it just works i don't always take a drink of water

25
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:52,880
while i wait for my computer to boot but when i do it's from Linus tech tips

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,640
water bottle and we're in it's a mac pro

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:02,240
6.1 running macOS 10.14.5

28
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:04,640
384 gigs of RAM and we've got 28 CPU

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,879
cores we do have one problem though and we were kind of worried about this so if

30
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:13,599
we open up disk utility we can see that only one

31
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:19,680
of our 950 pro ssds that we're using to test our quad m.2 pci express card here

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,280
is being detected so in order for these

33
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,840
16x to four times 4x slot adapters to work you

34
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:31,440
need a feature called pci express bifurcation which not all motherboards

35
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:36,400
support it's more common in the server space so that's not working which means

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,319
we might need to reevaluate our storage but we can still move forward for now

37
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,480
now don't worry guys before you freak out this is not a working specimen we

38
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,080
got this from free geek thanks free geek by the way

39
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,080
but even so you're going to want to go slowly

40
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,360
and be careful

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,840
you don't want to risk accidentally damaging anything that does work

42
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,879
okay that's how we remove the cpus i remember

43
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,760
try blade fans these are thick too these are 38

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,519
millimeter thick fans looks like whoever uh whoever's mac this was did some

45
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,800
upgrading so we've got some Corsair value select we've got some hyper

46
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:31,440
velocity premium apple that looks very premium and apple certified right there

47
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,959
got some kingston memory some more value select well now that we've kind of gone

48
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,879
down this path we might as well continue with it so there's our wireless card

49
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,799
airport extreme

50
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,200
we won't need this mid plate so we can go ahead and

51
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:58,560
ah one sec

52
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:06,000
here's our last cooling fan so that's an 80 ml cooling fan as well as

53
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:08,130
wow that is a shockingly beefy built-in

54
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,640
case speaker

55
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,639
oh yeah pci express

56
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:21,600
holy crap no it isn't i just assumed this is an agp graphics card what the

57
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,720
crap why would they design it like that everything is designed to be

58
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,440
straightforward okay so i think we're at the point now where we're ready to slide

59
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:33,600
the board but it looks like these standoffs need

60
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,800
to come out so we could unscrew them or

61
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,759
just yeah give it a little

62
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,840
ah feels like when i was having my wisdom teeth removed

63
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,280
i'm sure all the seasoned mac technicians out there are like well

64
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:57,120
lol um actually look i've never taken one of these apart

65
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,040
before okay and in my defense they don't exactly

66
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,080
make it intuitive everything is designed to be straightforward

67
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,840
yeah get get one go on get

68
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:18,320
get cool so on the back we've got all these

69
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,400
uh rubber spacers uh this looks like the

70
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,880
uh CPU chipset so that would be like your northbridge south bridge probably i

71
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:31,759
mean i'm guessing just based on having seen a fair number of motherboards no

72
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:34,639
such corners were cut on the ecs a55f

73
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:38,160
dash m4 1.0 and there's our i o that we don't need anymore oh hey look the specs

74
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:41,440
are on here so this was a two gigahertz dp

75
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:49,360
dual processor get your mind out of the gutter

76
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:51,479
512 megs ddr 400 megahertz 160 gig

77
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,880
has an sd reader g5200 would that be the graphics card

78
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,520
no do you feel maybe that's like the model do you i'm not sure 56k modem pci

79
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,479
x let's get that dang it let's get this power supply out of here now this i want

80
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,440
to be careful with because i don't know if there's any exposed

81
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,680
nonsense in here that is a chunky

82
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,680
power supply holy smokes five that's a 500 watt power supply

83
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,759
wow power supplies have come a long way you know you might think oh like older CPU

84
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,319
tech might be like really huge or whatever actually that's it

85
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,960
that's one of the processors from the power mac g5

86
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,240
ibm power processor right there right so i could finish this off pull

87
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:40,639
the optical and the hard drive out with all the quick clips and all that kind of

88
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:46,560
stuff and then we'd actually have to cut some of these other components out

89
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:50,319
but why bother doing that

90
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,360
when this unit is already prepped now as

91
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:56,240
you guys saw apple didn't use anything

92
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,520
that i would describe as pc standard when it came to their motherboard design

93
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,360
so that's where here it is this motherboard tray comes

94
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,759
in so the next thing we're going to do is show you guys how we're going to

95
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,680
adapt that non-standard layout to our hptx motherboard before we put that in

96
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,319
though let's talk about one of the other things that we had to deal with here so

97
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:24,400
if you guys remember the i o which is completely unlike pcio was in the back

98
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,479
here so that's all been chopped out but we did manage to retain the original

99
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:34,880
locking mechanism which we are hoping to continue to use so i'm just going to go

100
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,880
ahead and pop this back into place

101
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,039
now let's throw in our motherboard tray so one of the benefits of doing an

102
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:47,039
adapted motherboard tray versus just putting new standoffs in here is that we

103
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,440
actually needed some space behind the motherboard in order to route our cables

104
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:57,360
anyway so this has it lifted up ah man about it about a

105
00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:01,840
centimeter and change above the bottom here and we can use that for all the

106
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:06,160
routing that we need to do we know it's not very pretty right now guys

107
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,000
there's still a lot of work to be done this is just mostly to do a

108
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:16,400
a more thorough test fit so there's no shortage

109
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,919
of g5 mac back adapter plates but this

110
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,599
one is going to be a little bit different so instead of just kind of bolting onto

111
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,440
the back and sticking out we want it as close to a factory finish as we can get

112
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:32,320
once we finish painting so what we've done here is we've got a cut out for our

113
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:37,360
pci slots our dual 120 millimeter fans which are

114
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:42,080
gonna have a radiator on them our pc i o plate here and then check this out

115
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:46,959
there's double-sided tape on these lips here so to get this in we've got these

116
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,560
little slides cut in the original case here

117
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:56,800
and then you kind of fight with it a bit

118
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,160
yep oh shoot i missed one sec

119
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,800
don't worry we're going to be painting it so if we get some little scratches on it

120
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:09,000
and stuff we're not going to consider that the end of the world

121
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
oh

122
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,720
so there's some spots where there's clearly still a bit more material that

123
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,080
needs to be taken out we've got a bit of a lip here around the

124
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,080
um around the side panel locking mechanism

125
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:34,399
but there's other spots where we are pretty darn close by the

126
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:36,080
time we take this piece here put in some

127
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:41,040
perforations just like the metal from the factory put in some filler here sand

128
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,240
it down and paint it you would be hard pressed

129
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,640
to notice that this is not supposed to be here

130
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,200
i know what we're doing right now doesn't look like much but this is very

131
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,040
moment of truth for this project guys because there's a lot of

132
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,360
redoing of fab that will need to be done if this does not

133
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:03,200
fit so the motherboard tray is right up

134
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,440
against our back adapter plate here and

135
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,560
it looks like the screw holes are in fact going to line up but the only way

136
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,959
we're going to know for sure is to put these in we're going to be using the

137
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,600
shortest ones that we can possibly find because unlike the back of our

138
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:24,079
motherboard tray where we're planning to do some cable routing we do not want to waste any space

139
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,720
between the motherboard tray and the motherboard that we don't have to

140
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:33,519
you know the crazy thing is is it's not even that unreasonable

141
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,720
looking compared to the original one

142
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:39,519
we've got to be careful with this board i don't think Gigabyte's sending us another one now that they know what

143
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:44,320
we're doing with it maybe i called it a success too early

144
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,120
these standoffs are pretty tight okay i got that one

145
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:50,399
and yes we're gonna round this off don't worry you guys

146
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:55,440
so as we've done before we just harvested uh pci slot holders from an

147
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:00,560
existing case now this isn't actually it doesn't have the slot for it to come through yet but

148
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:03,600
it's gonna go in kind of like that and then we're going to have our our

149
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:08,000
dual fan radiator here in the back but let's go

150
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:13,040
ahead and throw the cards in without that for now

151
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,839
oh yeah wow it goes oh not bad

152
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:20,160
okay so obviously our graphics card's sagging

153
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:23,440
a little bit right now but this radiator

154
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:25,839
is gonna go right here

155
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,880
oh it's looking a lot more real ladies and

156
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,800
gentlemen there it is

157
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:39,680
we're going black fans right yeah yeah yeah okay

158
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:45,200
all right so we've got our power supply and that's not actually the way it's going to go in it's going to be tilted

159
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:49,120
up but right now this CPU heatsink is in the way it's going to be a water block

160
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:52,079
later and go ahead and put our triple radiator back in

161
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,360
that fits just right doesn't it i'm willing to bet a lot of you didn't have

162
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,120
a ton of faith in this project when we kicked it off but now you're hitting

163
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:07,200
that subscribe button so you don't miss the best part aren't you

164
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:11,360
