1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199
Flames fill the

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:10,480
sky it's just your frame of

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:17,280
mind strike the match your

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,280
life spre your wings in the

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,800
night I could do PC build guides forever

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,599
I really could with the millions of combinations of computer parts I could

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,399
make millions of these videos and none of them would be the same as each other

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:34,879
other today not the same is not good

9
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:39,480
enough and instead we'll be doing something really different from anything

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:44,640
I've ever done before today's build guide is not about the expectation that

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:49,480
you're going to watch it buy these parts and put one together at home just like

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:52,440
it but rather about the sheer spectacle

13
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:58,840
of a gaming PC made for one purpose Wicked CPU overclocking welcome to the

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,640
ultimate Subzero PC build guide normally

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,799
once we start out to to build at our safe uncluttered static free workstation

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,840
the only thing we really need to build a PC is a multi-bit screwdriver but

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,159
today's a little bit different you'll need some scissors I would recommend

18
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:18,400
getting an iFixit kit so you got some pokers and prodders as well as a variety

19
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:20,600
of more esoteric bits and then I pair of

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,640
side Cutters a pair of pliers those kinds of things will also come in handy

21
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:28,360
and the last one is you should probably grab a magnetic Parts tray to keep all

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,320
the little screws from getting lost now as always before you begin assembling

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,079
the computer I recommend plugging the components in together and powering the

24
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,040
system up once outside of the case to ensure everything is working using the

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,920
motherboard box as a handy dandy test bench for our CPU the choice was obvious

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,399
the cor i74790k has a wicked 4 GHz clock speed

27
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:54,520
out of the box without even factoring in turbo boost doesn't kick off a lot of

28
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:59,200
heat which is great for keeping temps cool and is basically the top tier CPU

29
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:04,680
of choice for gamers everywhere who don't have any use for extra cores that

30
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:09,920
can be had on the premium LGA 20113 platform now normally I actually copy

31
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:15,160
paste these CPU installation instructions you know not today forget

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,080
about lift the retention ARM put down the retention ARM no really forget about

33
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,640
the retention ARM we're going to remove it use a size 20 Torx and remove these

34
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,720
three screws from the front place the CPU into the socket to keep the pin safe

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,760
while you're working and then it's time to break out the kn needed or art eraser

36
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:39,000
that we'll be using to insulate the CPU socket area it's very important that

37
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,840
there is as little air as possible around here because where there's air

38
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:47,800
there's moisture and where there's moisture there's condensation as soon as

39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,080
it starts to get chil and as soon as there's condensation there's water on

40
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,200
motherboards which well I'm sure you see where this is going build up a thin

41
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,879
layer of art eraser around the outside of the socket put the retention

42
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:06,440
mechanism back on then install the the CPU again flip the board over and cover

43
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,959
the back plate with art eraser then run

44
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:15,280
the CPU Mount bolts through their steel back plate one of the included neoprene

45
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,280
insulating back plates then through the

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:26,799
motherboard on each bolt use a plastic washer then a steel one followed by a

47
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,920
nut and tighten them up nice now it's time to build up the art eraser on the

48
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:36,000
front until we're almost even with the top of the CPU heat spreader go slow

49
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:40,560
focusing on eliminating pockets for air to get trapped in you can use a small

50
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:45,120
poking tool to fill gaps once that's done apply a layer of armaflex neoprene

51
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:50,239
adhesive insulation and you're pretty much good to go now there are a lot of

52
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,280
different schools of thought when it comes to socket insulation and this

53
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:59,040
technique is not actually the best one but should be fine for the temperatures

54
00:03:57,239 --> 00:04:03,439
we're aiming for if I was doing something more extreme like a two-stage

55
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,079
or even three stage phase cooler or dry ice or liquid nitrogen I would add some

56
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,879
shop towels between the Eraser and neoprene direct some air flow at the

57
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:14,400
socket and even consider filling the socket pins with dialectric grease

58
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,840
something that's gone out of fashion lately due to R concerns it's almost

59
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:24,160
impossible to clean out but that undoubtedly improves safety at extremely

60
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:28,720
cold temperatures memory was an easy choice for this build the theme is white

61
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:33,280
like frost or something like that so I reached out to our friend at hyperx who

62
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:39,600
hooked us up with a massive 32 gig kit of their fury White DDR3 1866 RAM for

63
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:44,160
our system with that selection finished all that's required is to pull back the

64
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:49,400
tabs on the memory slots align each module according to the notch in the

65
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:54,720
bottom of the socket and press firmly on both sides until the latch closes fill

66
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:59,919
the further sets of color coordinated slots before the closer two if you're

67
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:04,639
using only two sticks of RAM now my original plan for this system was to

68
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:12,560
just find some white Cas slap a system in it and call it a day then I found

69
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,800
this the PC V10 phase change from LD

70
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,160
cooling I mean what's more white than a white case a white case that makes it

71
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:23,240
snow on your CPU this bad boy features

72
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,600
quad 120 mm radiator support on the top

73
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:31,120
a single 120 support in the back motherboard support for xlx eatx ATX

74
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,240
pretty much any ATX you could want and is made of Pure White powdercoated

75
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:40,400
Aluminum with the exception of the steel base to support the integrated single

76
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,520
stage phase change cooler in the front down there is the condenser which cools

77
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:49,199
the gas that then gets sent through the insulated line up to the evaporator head

78
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:55,080
where the rapid evaporation of the liquid inside an endothermic process

79
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:59,479
cools the CPU and the resulting vapor is recycled back to the large black danfos

80
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,800
compressor that compresses it and then pumps it to the condenser where it all

81
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:07,560
starts again this is the same principle that's used in your refrigerator at home

82
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,800
with the key difference being the strength and rated duty cycle of the

83
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,599
compressor please don't try to cool your computer with a fridge you're not the

84
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,560
first person to think of that it's not designed to handle a constant heat load

85
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:25,960
and it will die there's some other Secret Sauce in here as well LD cooling

86
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:30,160
has included their own USB controller board that uses a typ k thermal probe in

87
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,720
the VAP head to display temps on the built-in display in the front delay

88
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:38,000
systems start up until the phase system is up and running and to automatically

89
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:42,199
shut down your cooler once the system is powered down they've got some more stuff

90
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,000
planned too like fan control for example they've put a lot of work into

91
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:52,199
developing this puppy all right so start by removing the two top side panels and

92
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,479
the left side bottom one with a hex head

93
00:06:52,199 --> 00:07:00,360
screwdriver and stash them somewhere safe use four screws or anti vibration

94
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,759
mounts to install a rear 20 mm cooling fan and install your nine motherboard

95
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:09,319
standoffs here here here here here here here here and here our motherboard

96
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Choice was another no-brainer ASUS's Sabertooth z97 Mark s sa Bronco board

97
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:19,759
looks sick features all the latest and greatest tough series Tech so lots of

98
00:07:18,039 --> 00:07:24,160
controllable fan headers and temp sensors slot covers a reinforcing back

99
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:30,400
plate a 5-year warranty and of course ASUS's legendary build quality and BIOS

100
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:34,400
layout press firmly on all four corners of the io Shield at the back of the case

101
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:38,319
until they snap into place hold the board in place laying fridges on their

102
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:42,319
sides isn't recommended so I'm not tipping this guy over as a precaution

103
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,560
while you screw in the middle standoff then do the other eight in these

104
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:52,000
locations while we have easy access to the board plug these two included cables

105
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,639
into the power switch and the check

106
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,280
12volt spots on the USB controller then run the other ends to your power switch

107
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:04,479
header and a fan header on your mother motherboard like so you'll also need to

108
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:10,240
plug in the reset switch and your LEDs at this time this case has no front USB

109
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:15,800
audio or anything else like that though so that's it so I was going to choose a

110
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:21,879
power supply that comes in white by default and then I was like nah we have

111
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:27,120
the Corsair axi version of those like awesome individually sleeved cable mod

112
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:33,200
cables so I gave Corsair a call and got their excellent 80 plus Platinum ax 60i

113
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:37,240
power supply put in the mail for me it arrived I took that sucker apart

114
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:41,599
immediately painted her white and put her back together now with all of that

115
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,000
said for most users I would strongly recommend just buying a white power

116
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,399
supply since the internals of computer power supplies can be extremely

117
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:52,880
dangerous and even kill you but man you

118
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:54,920
cannot deny how nice the results look

119
00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:00,440
put the power supply in on the little pedestal in the basement fan side up and

120
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000
install four screws like this into the back of it plug the eight pin connector

121
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:07,519
into the top of the motherboard and run it down the back side of the motherboard

122
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:12,560
tray to the power supply then do the same for the 24 pin connector you can

123
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:18,360
also plug in a two connector SATA cable at this time and two PCI E cables for

124
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:24,160
the graphics card our Drive selection for this system is two Intel 730 series

125
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,959
ssds running in raid zero SSD raid

126
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:30,760
continues to be the weapon of choice for enthusiasts who want more than a single

127
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:36,880
SSD can offer offer but aren't willing to pay the premium for PCI Express or

128
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:38,839
m.2 based Solutions and 730s are

129
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:43,600
excellent for raid operation thanks to their exceptional performance

130
00:09:40,839 --> 00:09:47,440
consistency now this case's native 2 and 1/2 in drive support is mostly done by

131
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,640
screwing in through the front of the motherboard a solution that isn't that

132
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:56,480
elegant but fortunately it also includes a dual Drive 3 and A2 in adapter so

133
00:09:54,519 --> 00:10:01,399
we're going to use two of these screws per side per drive to secure them to the

134
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:06,360
adapter then use these rubber grommets to slide our adapter into the bottommost

135
00:10:03,839 --> 00:10:11,399
3 and 1/2 in Bay at the front now we can run SATA data cables as well as SATA

136
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:16,399
power cables and that's pretty much it now I realized

137
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:22,200
this is becoming a bit of a pattern here but the video card was yet another super

138
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,920
duper obvious choice I mean hm what

139
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:29,640
video card is white enough to go with our white themed build I guess maybe the

140
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,600
gtx980 Hall of Fame from GX the only

141
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:36,399
real question was Liquid cool it or leave the stock air cooler on it and

142
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:39,760
that question was answered for me when the only company that makes a block for

143
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:44,560
it didn't have it ready in time for filming and didn't reply to my emails so

144
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,320
there you go this case includes no PCI slot covers although they can be

145
00:10:45,959 --> 00:10:52,079
purchased separately if you don't have any lying around so this process is as

146
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:57,560
simple as lining up the card over the top PCI e6x slot firmly pushing it into

147
00:10:55,399 --> 00:11:03,079
place and installing two of the included fine threaded screws finally plug in

148
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:08,200
your two PCIe 8 Pin power connectors from before now normally I do the CPU

149
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:12,959
Cooler much earlier in the building process but in this case well I kind of

150
00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:17,600
wanted to save the best for last just for fun I fired her up before actually

151
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:22,880
putting her on the CPU to see the frost form on the EVAP and hear the boiling

152
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:26,880
liquid inside and man this stuff Geeks me out so you're going to want to cut a

153
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:31,800
length of the included insulation tubing and position it as a boot under the

154
00:11:29,079 --> 00:11:36,320
Universal hold down plate like so apply thermal paste to the CPU preferably

155
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:40,200
Arctic cooling ceramic put a plastic washer followed by a metal one followed

156
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:45,079
by a spring followed by another washer and the included thumb screws and

157
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:49,320
tighten down the cooler use your common sense as far as tightness is concerned

158
00:11:47,079 --> 00:11:53,079
it needs to make good contact and you know compress the insulation that's

159
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,959
around the CPU socket but you also shouldn't be trying to break your

160
00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:00,120
motherboard in half fingertight only no

161
00:11:57,959 --> 00:12:05,079
tools normally at this point in the video I try to do some cable management

162
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,680
and finishing touches and try to do a recommendation for a monitor and

163
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,600
peripherals that kind of go with the theme of the build but frankly there's

164
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,480
nothing left to do Cable Management wise other than plug in this fan that I

165
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:20,600
completely forgot to do earlier and then as far as peripherals go well white

166
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,000
monitors are pretty hard to come by these days so there's not a whole lot to

167
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:27,880
save there and as far as white peripherals go well if you eat as many

168
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,360
Doritos as I do while you're gaming I wouldn't really recommend White peripherals so why don't you do yourself

169
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,040
a favor buy some RGB stuff and set the LEDs to white or something if you're

170
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,880
into color matching the lineus tech tips.com form would be a good place to

171
00:12:37,839 --> 00:12:44,959
go if you want specific recommendations in your price range at this point you

172
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:49,240
can power on the system by pressing the you guessed it power button on the front

173
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:55,000
and if the cooling system is already cold you'll need to wait a few minutes for it to warm up and once that's done

174
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:59,600
the PC itself will then power on and you'll need to press delete to get into

175
00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:01,480
the UEFI BIOS load optimize defaults

176
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:05,440
then switch to advanced mode in the BIOS by pressing F7 and make sure that the

177
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:10,000
fan header your phase controller is connected to is not set up to run with

178
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:13,480
any sort of a fan control curve at this time we've actually got a full

179
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:18,920
overclocking guide for this particular CPU which you can watch here but the key

180
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:23,600
difference in this case is that we have the ability to push More Voltage through

181
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:28,000
the CPU without causing instability due to Thermal limits and the inherently

182
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:33,120
better overclockability of processors that are running at cooler temperatures

183
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:38,440
and I guess that's pretty much it That's all folks I hope you enjoyed our phase

184
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:45,279
change cooled white out build guide because I sure did I was able to dial in

185
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:47,600
a 5 GHz stable overclock at 1.4 volts

186
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:52,800
with load temps in the single digits and low teens in a matter of seconds and I

187
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,800
hope this Glam footage you guys are checking out of the system turns your

188
00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:00,680
nerd crank as much as it does mine because as much as a system like this is

189
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,959
be Beyond impractical I mean we're talking a few per better performance in

190
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:10,600
games and benchmarks in exchange for a lot of noise and extra heat being dumped

191
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,279
into the room that the computer occupies

192
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,320
boy was it fun for me to play with something extreme like this for the

193
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:20,000
first time in almost 10 years the last time I went Subzero was with a chilled

194
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:25,199
liquid setup that I built from a torn down window air conditioning unit so uh

195
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:29,360
this is quite a lot more elegant we've come a long way since then I hope this

196
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:33,440
was fun for you guys to watch watch thanks again for watching like it if you

197
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,759
liked it dislike it if you thought it sucked leave a comment at the link in

198
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,720
the video description on the line of tech tips Forum if you want to discuss

199
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,120
this particular build or you have any questions about it that's a great place

200
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,240
to ask also linked in the video description a place where you can buy a

201
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,320
cool t-shirt like this one give us a monthly contribution or change your

202
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:55,480
Amazon bookmarks one with our affiliate code so we get a small Kickback uh

203
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:59,720
