items for Planet Side 2 click now to learn

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,720
more so um finally personal rig update

4
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:24,640
time it's actually been done for kind of a while so I have my glass window on

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:30,480
there you can actually even tell NVIDIA hi slick hello you can actually

6
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:32,920
even tell NVIDIA how much clearer that

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:38,960
makes the side panel window so I'm doing a couple small upgrades number one and

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,360
people ask me why I use such a ghetto

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,520
water cooling setup with curved tubes and you know like it's not it's not the

10
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:50,000
nicest looking water cooling in the world the reason is because I do things like this I'm going to swap a

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:54,520
motherboard without actually changing any of my tubing and without making my

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,280
life more difficult than it has to be mine is upgradeable which if you have a

13
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:04,119
really really tight runs and you have like you know perfect um you know curved

14
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,439
fittings and then straight tubing runs or whatever else you can't really you

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,119
don't really have that same flexibility so I'm also upgrading my graphics card

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:18,240
so I'm going to be going from the GTX 590 that's in there to this GTX Titan

17
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:24,159
and uh that is for one reason and one reason only because 590 is still a

18
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:28,520
beastly card great performance but the thing that's missing is support for

19
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,880
streaming to NVIDIA Shield which is something that I want to be able to do

20
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,799
so we can go ahead and pull the side panel off oh yeah these are something

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,079
that I actually added since the last update so these are just little uh

22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,640
decorative hey Focus piece of junk yeah

23
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:47,079
there we go little decorative uh knobs

24
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:53,119
they don't actually hold anything on the glass is held on by um an industrial

25
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:57,039
strength adhesive in here so yeah those don't do anything they just are for

26
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:00,039
looks and they're like the cheapest possible thing that I could find at Home

27
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,560
Depot that didn't look absolutely terrible so there's a there's a look at

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:10,479
the insides so I've got crucial ballistics Tracer tactical whatever the

29
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:15,200
uh with the LEDs memory there's that

30
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:16,599
gold CPU block so boss and then there's

31
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,640
the graphics card that I'll be pulling out all right so I roped slick into

32
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:25,760
holding the camera for me for a minute here so I'm just on the last screw to

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,560
pull out the motherboard here so I just got to find somewhere to hold it by I'm

34
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:34,040
going to go with this heat sink there we go

35
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:36,640
and this my friends is why I do things

36
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:41,120
the way I do them because I can extract my

37
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,560
motherboard just like

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,000
this and probably what I've been doing this maybe what six seven minutes maybe

39
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,680
yeah and you got all those cards out too and I got all the cards out so I can

40
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:55,200
extract the motherboard just like that that's not a card that you pulled out

41
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:00,599
and that reveals the oh shoot okay there's one

42
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:05,879
thing I missed that SATA cable yeah come

43
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:09,280
on locking SATA cables love that all

44
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:11,519
right so we can go ahead and put that

45
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,720
down okay now this is where things are going to get a little bit tricky because

46
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:19,599
I got to drain this graphics card in order to swap in this graphics card and

47
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,840
that's one thing I haven't looked that closely at is how well the Barb

48
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,519
positions are going to line up between these two cards because I don't want to

49
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:33,720
redo my tubing if I can get away with it

50
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,680
so so let's just kind of try to sort of

51
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:41,720
visually line these up and kind of bad yeah yeah that's going to be okay so

52
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,599
we're going to use this bucket right here as a drain bucket we're just going

53
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:50,640
to pop one of the fittings off of the graphics card we're going to undo it and

54
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,519
then just uh drain into here I don't

55
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,040
have to fully drain the loop which is great because um I just have to drain

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,400
the part that I need to swap in the new graphics card put that in and then it

57
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,959
means that it's going to be much quicker to bleed uh bleed the air out of when

58
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,840
we're done in fact I may not even need to top up the reservoir in order to get it back up and running so this is

59
00:04:07,239 --> 00:04:11,640
extremely unorthodox I don't really recommend doing this but what I'm doing

60
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:16,880
right now is I'm loosening one of the plugs here and we're just going to drain

61
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:21,400
just the card and anything that would sit above it while we swap it out for a

62
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:27,960
different one now you know the funny funny conversation slick and I just had

63
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,360
about GTX 590 he's all like hey uh I

64
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,720
would take that card off your hands and I'm all like like hey are you sure and

65
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,440
he's like yeah sure and I'm like no Shadow play he's like oh crap GTX 590 is

66
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:43,360
probably the best card that just makes absolutely no sense right now from a

67
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:47,479
features perspective performance-wise if you're not planning to stream to a

68
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:51,479
shield or use Shadow play so game streaming on Twitch or anything like

69
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:56,240
that man it's such a beast I'd actually kind of forgotten I was looking it up

70
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,560
the other night this thing owns the 680

71
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:04,000
I'd completely forgotten about that it just Stomps all over it in terms of

72
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,720
actual FPS performance so uh still a

73
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,199
good card just got to move over to something else I mean raw FPS I don't

74
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,080
think Titan's going to be that much faster it might not even be at all

75
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,520
having the bigger frame buffer will help though because GTX 590 is going to be

76
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,720
held back by each of the gpus having only 1 and A2 gigs so if you wanted to

77
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,800
go higher than 2 and 1/2k probably or even higher than 1080p in some of the

78
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,039
more modern titles then that might hold you back a little bit I think that was

79
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,280
pretty much all the water we're going to get out of it probably wow that was was pretty

80
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:43,280
painless might be speaking too soon here though you never know I've been known to

81
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:46,000
do that from time to time oh this is going to be tricky here's something to

82
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:49,639
watch out for guys so if you're ever trying to do a ghetto water cooling Loop

83
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:55,199
upgrade like this watch out for this so when I disconnect this I'm going to have

84
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:57,800
to secure it above the end down here

85
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:00,880
somehow because otherwise all the water from that Reservoir will come dumping

86
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:06,520
out of it and that'll be a problem so I just got to watch out for that so the uh

87
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,599
crazy Russian gave me this a little while ago and I had kind of a Nostalgia

88
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:17,319
moment just for lws I mean remember guys between the best decent thermal compound

89
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:21,319
on the market and the worst decent thermal compound on the market we're

90
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:27,039
talking a few degrees so just for laws I'm going to be using ocz Ultra 5 plus

91
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:29,639
thermal paste on my 3970x and I've decided to change the order of

92
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,639
operations a little bit here so I was going to do the video card swap first

93
00:06:32,039 --> 00:06:37,720
but instead I think I'm going to put the motherboard in first because that'll

94
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:42,639
allow me um that'll give me somewhere to put the video card once I'm done so that

95
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,440
it doesn't just kind of flop all over the place so uh I'm going to get that

96
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,080
put in right now this is a relatively small upgrade but I'm actually ditching

97
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,199
the killer Nick it's just causing driver issues again even though it has a really

98
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:58,919
cool red LED on it and stuff and I'm throwing in an Intel uh server Nick so

99
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,039
we're going to go go that route instead it's a bit of an old one but it supports

100
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:07,840
everything that I need it to support and at least takes some of the processing load off of the CPU not that it doesn't

101
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,240
have plenty to spare but you know every little bit counts right putting the raid

102
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,599
card back in for those of you who haven't seen it before that's running to

103
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:20,840
eight Corsair ssds that are running in raid zero giving me a total of around

104
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,840
900 gigs of SSD based

105
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:27,960
storage I don't know how this always happens but like my build log videos

106
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:32,639
always end up with things I don't recommend in them like jamming a pen in

107
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:36,160
a piece of tubing to keep it from uh spraying water all over the place I used

108
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,520
to have proper tubing plugs that I used to use for this stuff but I don't really

109
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:45,560
have them anymore then like twist tying the block up here so

110
00:07:42,919 --> 00:07:49,240
that this doesn't drain into the rest of the system anyway here's the new

111
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:58,240
graphics card that's going to be going in and uh yeah GTX Titan koolance block

112
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,759
looks absolutely beautiful here we go so as you may or may not have noticed the

113
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:08,720
computer is now upside down um we have a bit of a problem I dropped my back plate

114
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:11,520
behind the motherboard so I got to go

115
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:17,080
home see my family and stuff so we're going to call that it for uh for today

116
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:21,440
but it's like I flipped it upside down and I did manage to get it to come back

117
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:26,000
so that's good news I don't have to pull the motherboard out uh other good news

118
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:29,919
is the graphics card is now installed the fittings are on and we're going to

119
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:36,039
be pretty much ready to rock as soon as I get that uh CPU block mounted and get

120
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:39,560
these expansion cards put in very very

121
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:42,120
excited all right so I got it sorted out

122
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:46,240
uh Fair bit of picking away at the back I also had to completely destroy what

123
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,240
little I had done in terms of cable management back here in order to access

124
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:57,399
the back plate so that's going to be a bit of a mess to fix now but the

125
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,959
expansion cards are all in there we go

126
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:06,720
oh that one needs to be cleaned Zonar zens from Theus with that

127
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:08,920
Sennheiser co-branding on it there we go

128
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:15,519
maybe that's a little bit better now ah that gleam there we go all right so

129
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:17,200
there's the LSI 92 68i there's my Intel

130
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:23,440
whatever it is that gigabit Ethernet card as well as sound card and graphics

131
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,800
card so the last thing left here is to

132
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:31,800
oh this is something I did not think of

133
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,480
uh-oh I don't need one of the two pins

134
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:41,040
anymore so this extra two pins I do not

135
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:45,560
need that's fascinating um guess I'll have to figure

136
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,200
out somewhere to hide those good thing I still have that other side panel off and

137
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:53,519
I haven't done anything with the wires all right so there she is with the

138
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:59,040
board swap done get a bit of a better angle what I

139
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:08,160
love about this board is it has tons of piec P Express expansion so you can

140
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:10,120
still add like another PCI e6x card

141
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,680
potentially something else down here if I was willing to move this down a little

142
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:18,360
bit I wanted to give it a bit more room to breathe than it had before though so

143
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:25,079
yeah I can still put a couple more PCIe adex cards in here which is pretty darn

144
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:30,440
impressive so uh now I just got to fix things up at the back a little bit close

145
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,680
it up and then we're good to go

146
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:38,279
you're good so the ultimate first world problem is like having too many ssds

147
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,360
piled up behind your motherboard tray so you like can't close your chassis

148
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:48,440
anymore see that they actually stick out quite a bit from here you got to you got

149
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:51,040
to Mush them down flat there so um what

150
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:54,800
I have to do with my system is basically lay it down on its side this is why I

151
00:10:52,680 --> 00:11:00,120
don't like taking up the side panel you can see there's quite a bulge here and I

152
00:10:57,079 --> 00:11:02,440
just got to see it's quite a tight fit

153
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:09,880
now that I had it painted because it changes the tolerances a little bit

154
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:12,680
for fitting together and I got a slider

155
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:16,399
shut like that in order to contain everything but other than

156
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:28,240
that close it up

157
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:32,360
okay who now you did it now she's done

158
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:34,519
and that is what the inside is in theory

159
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,000
supposed to look like so that's a little bit gimpy right there that's SATA cable

160
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,800
but I guess that's not too bad I feel bad cuz like the backs of the cards are

161
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:46,040
dusty and stuff but it's not exactly a new build in the same way that it was

162
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:51,240
new when I put it together like months ago so time to take it home and fire it

163
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:57,399
up and get some uh Shield streaming gaming going on

164
00:11:53,519 --> 00:12:01,240
here all right friends this is the

165
00:11:57,399 --> 00:12:05,079
moment where we find out if she boots up

166
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,639
boots up or powers on and boots on all

167
00:12:05,079 --> 00:12:13,720
right let's see how that water level's doing in the rez oh looks like she's not

168
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,320
bleeding perfectly okay so let's oh

169
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,839
looks like it decided to take another crack at things itself that's

170
00:12:19,079 --> 00:12:22,079
interesting

171
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:33,120
okay come on pump

172
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,160
come on postcode keep doing things waa

173
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,320
that's a good sign all right so she

174
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:42,160
boots but I don't see anything that looks like particularly good water flow

175
00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:46,079
in there so we're going to shut her down see if we can let some of that uh

176
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,839
the air bubbles that are stuck in the pump bleed out all right so I'll be back when we try this

177
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:54,920
again and that my friends is why I

178
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:56,720
always recommend a variable speed pump

179
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:02,839
and not cheaping out and getting the B version of the D5 because I'm able to

180
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,240
tweak the speed in order to just jar

181
00:13:02,839 --> 00:13:08,839
loose the bubbles and I'm able to get things running so looks like I didn't

182
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:13,160
even lose enough fluid during the refill to completely drain my res so all I got

183
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,040
to do is top this baby up and we're pretty much ready to rock I hope she

184
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:20,800
boots up I guess we'll might as well find out together

185
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:26,360
right I think that's the whole point of this little vlogging thing oh that

186
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:31,360
doesn't look like enough drives oh there they are okay good normally it's only

187
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:33,440
one on the second page so I guess this

188
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:39,399
board does it differently for some reason that freaked me out a little so

189
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,399
you can see my RAID zero has been

190
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:49,800
found 9 100

191
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,199
gigabytes okay please boot up please

192
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:59,079
boot up H oh it might not be set to the correct

193
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:00,639
uh boot order oh okay well the Rams

194
00:13:59,079 --> 00:14:06,240
protected that's good cuz officially on paper this RAM is not

195
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:09,240
compatible F1 tender

196
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,920
setup yeah I'll spare you guys the

197
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:16,959
suspense and There She Goes booting up into Windows with the fresh changes to

198
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:23,600
the hardware it looks like we are good so thank you for checking out uh build

199
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:26,399
log number I guess this is part 16 of

200
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:30,600
the personal rig update that I guess is finally sort of done I still want to do

201
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:36,720
kind of a you know like a Glam video showcase of the

202
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:41,240
rig or something but I'm not quite done with my setup yet because as you can see

203
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:46,240
I'm still running an older monitor this is like an ancient BenQ 1920x 600 thing

204
00:14:44,839 --> 00:14:48,920
I've got a new monitor that I've had on order for a while I've had people asking

205
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,320
me also um for a little while here what I

206
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:57,519
use for peripherals so this is my replacement of Cari laser this is my

207
00:14:54,839 --> 00:15:02,040
third one now so that I mean I guess I use it a lot but you know they I guess

208
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:06,600
they die but I can't get used to anything else I've tried um this is a

209
00:15:04,199 --> 00:15:10,399
Mex zable 60 uses Cherry MX blacks which are not generally my favorite switches

210
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:14,440
but I like this particular keyboard these are my steel Series 7 H's that I

211
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:19,839
use for when I'm sitting here and when I don't have something else to plug into

212
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,959
the essence One external USB sound card

213
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:26,279
and Dack I use Corsair SP 2500 speakers

214
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:30,040
and just to show my uh my total

215
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:33,399
nonbiased I balance out my swag with AMD

216
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,040
swag and this is actually a a ruby sword

217
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:40,720
so he uh he sits here with all that stuff which I think is kind of funny

218
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:44,600
it's my little swag guy there's my Star Citizen citizen card or whatever they're

219
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:50,000
called and I guess that's uh that's pretty much it full tour proper tour and

220
