the truth of the matter is it's just about impossible to know exactly the
right moment to pull the trigger on a new gaming pc there's always going to be
something right around the corner that's cheaper or faster
but you only live once guys and it's in that
spirit that today we are going to build
the fastest gaming pc on the planet
for now and it's brought to you by ridge wallet

we begin of course with the fastest gaming processor in the world
today the core i9 10 900 k it's a 10
core processor that turbos up to 5.3
gigahertz with Intel's thermal velocity boost and we're going to be installing
it in a maximus 12 extreme from ASUS
pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to overclocking motherboards
oh look at all of that performance that's pink it's the pink
is your interest peaked making our video today even more extra spicy
is the fact that this 10900k is a cherry
picked unit that we are expecting to gain at up to
5.7 gigahertz with appropriate cooling
and we're pairing it with crucials ballistix
max RAM this stuff is rated at up to 5 gigahertz although we'll have to see how
close we get to that for storage we're going with a samsung 960 pro
wait what why are we using a 960 pro
we have everything on it already because it has everything pre-installed
on it playstation 5 what who needs a fast SSD
for gaming everyone knows gaming is all about cooling which is why i have
something extra special here today that unfortunately
is kind of top secret for the moment so i can't tell you too much about it other
than that we are going to use it to hit those crazy frequencies that i alluded
to at the beginning of the video so we got this
and this the heaviest CPU water block that i have
held in quite some time what are all these leads coming off of it
first things first we need a back plate you've got a heavy cooler you need a heavy back plate
okay and then there's these like rubber stoppers and the hold down plate and the
screws are popping them out okay it's not the most user-friendly
thing ever but we don't want user-friendly it's pc gaming
we want fast now we need a fast case we've gone with
the fantax p600s it's got lots of cooling if you
pop off the things there you go now it's fast
speed holes let's take off the panels who needs those
now it's lighter faster
look how fast that opened in all seriousness though we do need to figure
out where we want to put our radiator because even though all it's going to be
cooling is the CPU that's right we're going air-cooled for our graphics cards
for reasons that i can't fully explain today i am still expecting it to be
outputting a ton of heat what would
nicolas do do we go triple rad in the front so we've got the coolest air for
our CPU or do we go triple rad in the top so we're pulling in hot GPU air to
cool our CPU
you want the coolest air in the front knowing that you're going to be putting warm air over your gpus
it's less work though if i put it in the top because then i don't have to move
these fans
and that's fast it's fast right to do less work it might feel a little out of
order but i want to figure out where the heck our reservoir and pump is going
before we get too much further along here
unfortunately our only mounting bracket for this thing goes on a 120 millimeter
fan but that's okay because i came up with this idea we're just gonna find
some random holes in the case and we're gonna bolt it to that yeah
is that catching oh yeah
okay that's not so stupid yeah i'm good i got three out of four screws
that ain't bad one thing i worry about
is whether this power supply is going to be enough no no i'm actually okay your lap
we got two 30 90s okay
then we've got a 10 900 k and then we've got
some other challenges 600 watts right in
the butt motherboard time
oh wow this is this is a big motherboard
but fast oh wow the bigness is slowing down the fastness
a bit here i pre-ran these cables to hopefully save
us some time later because the longer this takes me to build the less time
i'll be able to enjoy it being the fastest computer
this is what true speed looks like look at this i didn't even plug in this like
wimp-tier 5 gigabit usb 3.
we went straight for 10 gig actually it was more that there's a clearance issue
with the um side of the case in these 90 degree ports but yeah fast
now we can start plumbing this baby up got this handy dandy ek tool for
installing fittings fast the CPU block does not appear to be directional so
we're using the bottom as an inlet now
it's time for graphics card number one
god these things are heavy of course weight
is not what's important today because we don't want to do any waiting
we want to go fast yep that whole thing was just to set up
that pun
this might have been a slight oversight i don't think this is going to fit i
kind of positioned the reservoir for like a reasonable graphics card
so yeah
yeah you know what
yeah how close is this like it it's not even
that close like this is this is straight up
interfering how are they so big dang it
rog strix curse your fastness and largeness
dang this is gonna be really close we scooched this over as far as it goes
with the existing holes oh my goodness it is
it is so close oh
what i managed to scooch it over a hair more
oh no way it's in it is right
next to it oh my goodness that is
as close a fit as it gets that's crazy now we
just need our three pci express eight pin connectors here oh what do you think
david should this go under or over whatever you think hey
yeah under was better leaving us just one more small challenge
um nicholas did you check the pci express
spacing on this motherboard before we started
nicholas you know we've been boned before by envy
link spacing and actually that's wrong too because it's a triple
slot space and you can only get four slot uh envy link bridges for 30 series
cards but i don't think we've ever actually had it such that the card does
not physically fit into the case like this
uh okay can we still call the fastest without sli i mean we did determine sli
is super stupid my original plan as illusion shattering as this might be for
some of you guys i did see this coming my original plan was to use these pci
express extensions and then run it out of the case
but i don't know it doesn't seem very fast and it
actually does make some games slower so you know what forget it i'm out but we do need to
install this if we want to go fast gotta put a
pci express power connector into here and then there's some other connectors
back here that i got to plug into it now i just need the usb plug for my mystery
meat box back there and we are ready to fill this puppy did we fill it fast
let's fill it fast
real men don't need paper towels oh i spilled
to power cycle this we're going to need one of the chunk boy power cables the
good news is that if we only go with a single 30 90 we're like really are going
to be okay with our 1600 watt power supply okay
got to feel fast got to feel fast oh shoot we're not feeling fast enough oh
it's running dry you don't want it to run dry i can't
actually show you guys what i'm doing down here but
basically i'm kicking things into high gear there that's all you need to know
i love custom water cooling
can you even hear this system nope
like i can hear it a tiny bit
nothing are you sure it's even that because like it's crazy i mean obviously we're going
to play some vidya games and it's going to get a little louder but
first we need to go into Intel extreme tuning utility which we have a beta
version of that i will explain further in a upcoming video and do some tuning
extreme tuning are you kidding me what i promised you 5.7 gigahertz didn't
i hold on hold on you want to see the best part
now
i'm sorry i just i can't tell you more about it yet so soon
let's play some games all right
we are now running 4k ultra nightmare
HDR and getting a casual
200 no no not not 200 170 to 200 FPS
man this game runs way too well okay
what i really want to see though is what kind of temperatures we're
running at so let's go ahead and
give that a little we are hovering right in the 50 to 60
degree range well we're only in like five gigahertz right now
can you think of why we would only be running at five gigahertz nicholas
should we bump it up let's bump it up ah that's better made a slight
adjustment now we're running at a cool 5.4 gigahertz across all of our cores
let's go back to our game let's do some more gaming
oh
well when you fly too close to the sun sometimes your wings get burned
backing off to a more conservative 5.4 gigahertz all core it lets us run
the voltage a little bit lower so let's see if this uh holds for us here oh yeah
we're still getting 5.4 gigs all cores that was fun having the fastest computer
in the world for well we're gonna see how long it lasts if you
