00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.199
Flames fill the

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:10.480
sky it's just your frame of

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:17.280
mind strike the match your

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.280
life spre your wings in the

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.800
night I could do PC build guides forever

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.599
I really could with the millions of combinations of computer parts I could

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.399
make millions of these videos and none of them would be the same as each other

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.879
other today not the same is not good

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:39.480
enough and instead we'll be doing something really different from anything

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:44.640
I've ever done before today's build guide is not about the expectation that

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

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:52.440
it but rather about the sheer spectacle

00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:58.840
of a gaming PC made for one purpose Wicked CPU overclocking welcome to the

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.640
ultimate Subzero PC build guide normally

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:04.799
once we start out to to build at our safe uncluttered static free workstation

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:08.840
the only thing we really need to build a PC is a multi-bit screwdriver but

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:12.159
today's a little bit different you'll need some scissors I would recommend

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:18.400
getting an iFixit kit so you got some pokers and prodders as well as a variety

00:01:14.759 --> 00:01:20.600
of more esoteric bits and then I pair of

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.640
side Cutters a pair of pliers those kinds of things will also come in handy

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:28.360
and the last one is you should probably grab a magnetic Parts tray to keep all

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.320
the little screws from getting lost now as always before you begin assembling

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.079
the computer I recommend plugging the components in together and powering the

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:41.040
system up once outside of the case to ensure everything is working using the

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.920
motherboard box as a handy dandy test bench for our CPU the choice was obvious

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:50.399
the cor i74790k has a wicked 4 GHz clock speed

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

00:01:52.759 --> 00:01:59.200
heat which is great for keeping temps cool and is basically the top tier CPU

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:04.680
of choice for gamers everywhere who don't have any use for extra cores that

00:02:02.039 --> 00:02:09.920
can be had on the premium LGA 20113 platform now normally I actually copy

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:15.160
paste these CPU installation instructions you know not today forget

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:19.080
about lift the retention ARM put down the retention ARM no really forget about

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

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.720
three screws from the front place the CPU into the socket to keep the pin safe

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

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:39.000
that we'll be using to insulate the CPU socket area it's very important that

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.840
there is as little air as possible around here because where there's air

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:47.800
there's moisture and where there's moisture there's condensation as soon as

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.080
it starts to get chil and as soon as there's condensation there's water on

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:55.200
motherboards which well I'm sure you see where this is going build up a thin

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:59.879
layer of art eraser around the outside of the socket put the retention

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:06.440
mechanism back on then install the the CPU again flip the board over and cover

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.959
the back plate with art eraser then run

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:15.280
the CPU Mount bolts through their steel back plate one of the included neoprene

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.280
insulating back plates then through the

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.799
motherboard on each bolt use a plastic washer then a steel one followed by a

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

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:36.000
front until we're almost even with the top of the CPU heat spreader go slow

00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:40.560
focusing on eliminating pockets for air to get trapped in you can use a small

00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:45.120
poking tool to fill gaps once that's done apply a layer of armaflex neoprene

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:50.239
adhesive insulation and you're pretty much good to go now there are a lot of

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.280
different schools of thought when it comes to socket insulation and this

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:59.040
technique is not actually the best one but should be fine for the temperatures

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.439
we're aiming for if I was doing something more extreme like a two-stage

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.079
or even three stage phase cooler or dry ice or liquid nitrogen I would add some

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.879
shop towels between the Eraser and neoprene direct some air flow at the

00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:14.400
socket and even consider filling the socket pins with dialectric grease

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.840
something that's gone out of fashion lately due to R concerns it's almost

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:24.160
impossible to clean out but that undoubtedly improves safety at extremely

00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:28.720
cold temperatures memory was an easy choice for this build the theme is white

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:33.280
like frost or something like that so I reached out to our friend at hyperx who

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

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.160
our system with that selection finished all that's required is to pull back the

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:49.400
tabs on the memory slots align each module according to the notch in the

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:54.720
bottom of the socket and press firmly on both sides until the latch closes fill

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:59.919
the further sets of color coordinated slots before the closer two if you're

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:04.639
using only two sticks of RAM now my original plan for this system was to

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

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.800
this the PC V10 phase change from LD

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

00:05:17.080 --> 00:05:23.240
snow on your CPU this bad boy features

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.600
quad 120 mm radiator support on the top

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:31.120
a single 120 support in the back motherboard support for xlx eatx ATX

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:35.240
pretty much any ATX you could want and is made of Pure White powdercoated

00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:40.400
Aluminum with the exception of the steel base to support the integrated single

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:44.520
stage phase change cooler in the front down there is the condenser which cools

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:49.199
the gas that then gets sent through the insulated line up to the evaporator head

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:55.080
where the rapid evaporation of the liquid inside an endothermic process

00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:59.479
cools the CPU and the resulting vapor is recycled back to the large black danfos

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.800
compressor that compresses it and then pumps it to the condenser where it all

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:07.560
starts again this is the same principle that's used in your refrigerator at home

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.800
with the key difference being the strength and rated duty cycle of the

00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:16.599
compressor please don't try to cool your computer with a fridge you're not the

00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:21.560
first person to think of that it's not designed to handle a constant heat load

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.960
and it will die there's some other Secret Sauce in here as well LD cooling

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:30.160
has included their own USB controller board that uses a typ k thermal probe in

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:33.720
the VAP head to display temps on the built-in display in the front delay

00:06:31.960 --> 00:06:38.000
systems start up until the phase system is up and running and to automatically

00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:42.199
shut down your cooler once the system is powered down they've got some more stuff

00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:46.000
planned too like fan control for example they've put a lot of work into

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:52.199
developing this puppy all right so start by removing the two top side panels and

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:54.479
the left side bottom one with a hex head

00:06:52.199 --> 00:07:00.360
screwdriver and stash them somewhere safe use four screws or anti vibration

00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:04.759
mounts to install a rear 20 mm cooling fan and install your nine motherboard

00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:09.319
standoffs here here here here here here here here and here our motherboard

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:15.440
Choice was another no-brainer ASUS's Sabertooth z97 Mark s sa Bronco board

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.759
looks sick features all the latest and greatest tough series Tech so lots of

00:07:18.039 --> 00:07:24.160
controllable fan headers and temp sensors slot covers a reinforcing back

00:07:22.440 --> 00:07:30.400
plate a 5-year warranty and of course ASUS's legendary build quality and BIOS

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

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.319
until they snap into place hold the board in place laying fridges on their

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:42.319
sides isn't recommended so I'm not tipping this guy over as a precaution

00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:46.560
while you screw in the middle standoff then do the other eight in these

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:52.000
locations while we have easy access to the board plug these two included cables

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.639
into the power switch and the check

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:59.280
12volt spots on the USB controller then run the other ends to your power switch

00:07:57.080 --> 00:08:04.479
header and a fan header on your mother motherboard like so you'll also need to

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

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

00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:21.879
power supply that comes in white by default and then I was like nah we have

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:27.120
the Corsair axi version of those like awesome individually sleeved cable mod

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:33.200
cables so I gave Corsair a call and got their excellent 80 plus Platinum ax 60i

00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:37.240
power supply put in the mail for me it arrived I took that sucker apart

00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.599
immediately painted her white and put her back together now with all of that

00:08:39.640 --> 00:08:45.000
said for most users I would strongly recommend just buying a white power

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:49.399
supply since the internals of computer power supplies can be extremely

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.880
dangerous and even kill you but man you

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:54.920
cannot deny how nice the results look

00:08:52.880 --> 00:09:00.440
put the power supply in on the little pedestal in the basement fan side up and

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:04.000
install four screws like this into the back of it plug the eight pin connector

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:07.519
into the top of the motherboard and run it down the back side of the motherboard

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:12.560
tray to the power supply then do the same for the 24 pin connector you can

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

00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:24.160
the graphics card our Drive selection for this system is two Intel 730 series

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.959
ssds running in raid zero SSD raid

00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:30.760
continues to be the weapon of choice for enthusiasts who want more than a single

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:36.880
SSD can offer offer but aren't willing to pay the premium for PCI Express or

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:38.839
m.2 based Solutions and 730s are

00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:43.600
excellent for raid operation thanks to their exceptional performance

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

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:51.640
screwing in through the front of the motherboard a solution that isn't that

00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:56.480
elegant but fortunately it also includes a dual Drive 3 and A2 in adapter so

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

00:09:58.680 --> 00:10:06.360
adapter then use these rubber grommets to slide our adapter into the bottommost

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

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.399
power cables and that's pretty much it now I realized

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

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:23.920
duper obvious choice I mean hm what

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:29.640
video card is white enough to go with our white themed build I guess maybe the

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:32.600
gtx980 Hall of Fame from GX the only

00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:36.399
real question was Liquid cool it or leave the stock air cooler on it and

00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:39.760
that question was answered for me when the only company that makes a block for

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

00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:47.320
there you go this case includes no PCI slot covers although they can be

00:10:45.959 --> 00:10:52.079
purchased separately if you don't have any lying around so this process is as

00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:57.560
simple as lining up the card over the top PCI e6x slot firmly pushing it into

00:10:55.399 --> 00:11:03.079
place and installing two of the included fine threaded screws finally plug in

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:08.200
your two PCIe 8 Pin power connectors from before now normally I do the CPU

00:11:06.040 --> 00:11:12.959
Cooler much earlier in the building process but in this case well I kind of

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:17.600
wanted to save the best for last just for fun I fired her up before actually

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

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

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:31.800
length of the included insulation tubing and position it as a boot under the

00:11:29.079 --> 00:11:36.320
Universal hold down plate like so apply thermal paste to the CPU preferably

00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:40.200
Arctic cooling ceramic put a plastic washer followed by a metal one followed

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:45.079
by a spring followed by another washer and the included thumb screws and

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:49.320
tighten down the cooler use your common sense as far as tightness is concerned

00:11:47.079 --> 00:11:53.079
it needs to make good contact and you know compress the insulation that's

00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:57.959
around the CPU socket but you also shouldn't be trying to break your

00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.120
motherboard in half fingertight only no

00:11:57.959 --> 00:12:05.079
tools normally at this point in the video I try to do some cable management

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:08.680
and finishing touches and try to do a recommendation for a monitor and

00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:12.600
peripherals that kind of go with the theme of the build but frankly there's

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:16.480
nothing left to do Cable Management wise other than plug in this fan that I

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:20.600
completely forgot to do earlier and then as far as peripherals go well white

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

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:27.880
save there and as far as white peripherals go well if you eat as many

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

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

00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:39.880
into color matching the lineus tech tips.com form would be a good place to

00:12:37.839 --> 00:12:44.959
go if you want specific recommendations in your price range at this point you

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:49.240
can power on the system by pressing the you guessed it power button on the front

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

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

00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.480
the UEFI BIOS load optimize defaults

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:05.440
then switch to advanced mode in the BIOS by pressing F7 and make sure that the

00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:10.000
fan header your phase controller is connected to is not set up to run with

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.480
any sort of a fan control curve at this time we've actually got a full

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:18.920
overclocking guide for this particular CPU which you can watch here but the key

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:23.600
difference in this case is that we have the ability to push More Voltage through

00:13:20.959 --> 00:13:28.000
the CPU without causing instability due to Thermal limits and the inherently

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:33.120
better overclockability of processors that are running at cooler temperatures

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

00:13:35.839 --> 00:13:45.279
change cooled white out build guide because I sure did I was able to dial in

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:47.600
a 5 GHz stable overclock at 1.4 volts

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

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:56.800
hope this Glam footage you guys are checking out of the system turns your

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

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:04.959
be Beyond impractical I mean we're talking a few per better performance in

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:10.600
games and benchmarks in exchange for a lot of noise and extra heat being dumped

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.279
into the room that the computer occupies

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:16.320
boy was it fun for me to play with something extreme like this for the

00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:20.000
first time in almost 10 years the last time I went Subzero was with a chilled

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:25.199
liquid setup that I built from a torn down window air conditioning unit so uh

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

00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:33.440
was fun for you guys to watch watch thanks again for watching like it if you

00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:36.759
liked it dislike it if you thought it sucked leave a comment at the link in

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:40.720
the video description on the line of tech tips Forum if you want to discuss

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:44.120
this particular build or you have any questions about it that's a great place

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:47.240
to ask also linked in the video description a place where you can buy a

00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:50.320
cool t-shirt like this one give us a monthly contribution or change your

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:55.480
Amazon bookmarks one with our affiliate code so we get a small Kickback uh

00:14:52.800 --> 00:14:59.720
whenever you buy stuff on Amazon that kind of thing helps us out a lot thanks

00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:03.959
one more time to you guys for watching to uh well yeah you guys for watching oh

00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:10.240
yeah and the folks who worked really hard making this video happen editing it shooting it and all that good stuff see

00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.240
you again next

00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:13.959
