items for Planet Side 2 click now to learn

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:20.720
more so um finally personal rig update

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

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:30.480
there you can actually even tell NVIDIA hi slick hello you can actually

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:32.920
even tell NVIDIA how much clearer that

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:38.960
makes the side panel window so I'm doing a couple small upgrades number one and

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.360
people ask me why I use such a ghetto

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

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

00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:54.520
motherboard without actually changing any of my tubing and without making my

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.280
life more difficult than it has to be mine is upgradeable which if you have a

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:04.119
really really tight runs and you have like you know perfect um you know curved

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:08.439
fittings and then straight tubing runs or whatever else you can't really you

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.119
don't really have that same flexibility so I'm also upgrading my graphics card

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

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:24.159
and uh that is for one reason and one reason only because 590 is still a

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:28.520
beastly card great performance but the thing that's missing is support for

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.880
streaming to NVIDIA Shield which is something that I want to be able to do

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.799
so we can go ahead and pull the side panel off oh yeah these are something

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:42.079
that I actually added since the last update so these are just little uh

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.640
decorative hey Focus piece of junk yeah

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.079
there we go little decorative uh knobs

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:53.119
they don't actually hold anything on the glass is held on by um an industrial

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:57.039
strength adhesive in here so yeah those don't do anything they just are for

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:00.039
looks and they're like the cheapest possible thing that I could find at Home

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:04.560
Depot that didn't look absolutely terrible so there's a there's a look at

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:10.479
the insides so I've got crucial ballistics Tracer tactical whatever the

00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:15.200
uh with the LEDs memory there's that

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.599
gold CPU block so boss and then there's

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:20.640
the graphics card that I'll be pulling out all right so I roped slick into

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

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

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:34.040
going to go with this heat sink there we go

00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:36.640
and this my friends is why I do things

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:41.120
the way I do them because I can extract my

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.560
motherboard just like

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:48.000
this and probably what I've been doing this maybe what six seven minutes maybe

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

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:55.200
extract the motherboard just like that that's not a card that you pulled out

00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:00.599
and that reveals the oh shoot okay there's one

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:05.879
thing I missed that SATA cable yeah come

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.280
on locking SATA cables love that all

00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:11.519
right so we can go ahead and put that

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.720
down okay now this is where things are going to get a little bit tricky because

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:19.599
I got to drain this graphics card in order to swap in this graphics card and

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.840
that's one thing I haven't looked that closely at is how well the Barb

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:29.519
positions are going to line up between these two cards because I don't want to

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:33.720
redo my tubing if I can get away with it

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:36.680
so so let's just kind of try to sort of

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

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

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

00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.519
then just uh drain into here I don't

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:57.040
have to fully drain the loop which is great because um I just have to drain

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

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

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

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:11.640
extremely unorthodox I don't really recommend doing this but what I'm doing

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

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

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:27.960
different one now you know the funny funny conversation slick and I just had

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.360
about GTX 590 he's all like hey uh I

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

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

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:43.360
probably the best card that just makes absolutely no sense right now from a

00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:47.479
features perspective performance-wise if you're not planning to stream to a

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:51.479
shield or use Shadow play so game streaming on Twitch or anything like

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

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.560
the other night this thing owns the 680

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:04.000
I'd completely forgotten about that it just Stomps all over it in terms of

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:06.720
actual FPS performance so uh still a

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

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.080
think Titan's going to be that much faster it might not even be at all

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.520
having the bigger frame buffer will help though because GTX 590 is going to be

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

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

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:31.039
more modern titles then that might hold you back a little bit I think that was

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

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:43.280
painless might be speaking too soon here though you never know I've been known to

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

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

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

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.800
to secure it above the end down here

00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.880
somehow because otherwise all the water from that Reservoir will come dumping

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

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:11.599
crazy Russian gave me this a little while ago and I had kind of a Nostalgia

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:17.319
moment just for lws I mean remember guys between the best decent thermal compound

00:06:15.039 --> 00:06:21.319
on the market and the worst decent thermal compound on the market we're

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

00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:29.639
thermal paste on my 3970x and I've decided to change the order of

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.639
operations a little bit here so I was going to do the video card swap first

00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:37.720
but instead I think I'm going to put the motherboard in first because that'll

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

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

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.080
put in right now this is a relatively small upgrade but I'm actually ditching

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.199
the killer Nick it's just causing driver issues again even though it has a really

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

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

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

00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:11.240
have plenty to spare but you know every little bit counts right putting the raid

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

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:20.840
eight Corsair ssds that are running in raid zero giving me a total of around

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.840
900 gigs of SSD based

00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:27.960
storage I don't know how this always happens but like my build log videos

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:32.639
always end up with things I don't recommend in them like jamming a pen in

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

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

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:45.560
have them anymore then like twist tying the block up here so

00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:49.240
that this doesn't drain into the rest of the system anyway here's the new

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:58.240
graphics card that's going to be going in and uh yeah GTX Titan koolance block

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:01.759
looks absolutely beautiful here we go so as you may or may not have noticed the

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

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:11.520
behind the motherboard so I got to go

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

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

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

00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:29.919
is the graphics card is now installed the fittings are on and we're going to

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

00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:39.560
these expansion cards put in very very

00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:42.120
excited all right so I got it sorted out

00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:46.240
uh Fair bit of picking away at the back I also had to completely destroy what

00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:50.240
little I had done in terms of cable management back here in order to access

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

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:59.959
expansion cards are all in there we go

00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:06.720
oh that one needs to be cleaned Zonar zens from Theus with that

00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:08.920
Sennheiser co-branding on it there we go

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

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:17.200
there's the LSI 92 68i there's my Intel

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:23.440
whatever it is that gigabit Ethernet card as well as sound card and graphics

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:26.800
card so the last thing left here is to

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:31.800
oh this is something I did not think of

00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:33.480
uh-oh I don't need one of the two pins

00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:41.040
anymore so this extra two pins I do not

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:45.560
need that's fascinating um guess I'll have to figure

00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:49.200
out somewhere to hide those good thing I still have that other side panel off and

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:53.519
I haven't done anything with the wires all right so there she is with the

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:59.040
board swap done get a bit of a better angle what I

00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:08.160
love about this board is it has tons of piec P Express expansion so you can

00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:10.120
still add like another PCI e6x card

00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:12.680
potentially something else down here if I was willing to move this down a little

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

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

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

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.680
it up and then we're good to go

00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:38.279
you're good so the ultimate first world problem is like having too many ssds

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:42.360
piled up behind your motherboard tray so you like can't close your chassis

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

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:51.040
to Mush them down flat there so um what

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

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

00:10:57.079 --> 00:11:02.440
just got to see it's quite a tight fit

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:09.880
now that I had it painted because it changes the tolerances a little bit

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:12.680
for fitting together and I got a slider

00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:16.399
shut like that in order to contain everything but other than

00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:28.240
that close it up

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:32.360
okay who now you did it now she's done

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:34.519
and that is what the inside is in theory

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

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

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

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

00:11:48.959 --> 00:11:57.399
up and get some uh Shield streaming gaming going on

00:11:53.519 --> 00:12:01.240
here all right friends this is the

00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:05.079
moment where we find out if she boots up

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:06.639
boots up or powers on and boots on all

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

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:15.320
bleeding perfectly okay so let's oh

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.839
looks like it decided to take another crack at things itself that's

00:12:19.079 --> 00:12:22.079
interesting

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:33.120
okay come on pump

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:36.160
come on postcode keep doing things waa

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:38.320
that's a good sign all right so she

00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:42.160
boots but I don't see anything that looks like particularly good water flow

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

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

00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:54.920
again and that my friends is why I

00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:56.720
always recommend a variable speed pump

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

00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:04.240
tweak the speed in order to just jar

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

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:13.160
even lose enough fluid during the refill to completely drain my res so all I got

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

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.800
boots up I guess we'll might as well find out together

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:26.360
right I think that's the whole point of this little vlogging thing oh that

00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:31.360
doesn't look like enough drives oh there they are okay good normally it's only

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.440
one on the second page so I guess this

00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:39.399
board does it differently for some reason that freaked me out a little so

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.399
you can see my RAID zero has been

00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:49.800
found 9 100

00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:51.199
gigabytes okay please boot up please

00:13:49.800 --> 00:13:59.079
boot up H oh it might not be set to the correct

00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:00.639
uh boot order oh okay well the Rams

00:13:59.079 --> 00:14:06.240
protected that's good cuz officially on paper this RAM is not

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:09.240
compatible F1 tender

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:11.920
setup yeah I'll spare you guys the

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:16.959
suspense and There She Goes booting up into Windows with the fresh changes to

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:23.600
the hardware it looks like we are good so thank you for checking out uh build

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:26.399
log number I guess this is part 16 of

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

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:36.720
kind of a you know like a Glam video showcase of the

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

00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:46.240
I'm still running an older monitor this is like an ancient BenQ 1920x 600 thing

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

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:53.320
me also um for a little while here what I

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:57.519
use for peripherals so this is my replacement of Cari laser this is my

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

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

00:15:04.199 --> 00:15:10.399
Mex zable 60 uses Cherry MX blacks which are not generally my favorite switches

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:14.440
but I like this particular keyboard these are my steel Series 7 H's that I

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

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.959
the essence One external USB sound card

00:15:19.839 --> 00:15:26.279
and Dack I use Corsair SP 2500 speakers

00:15:22.959 --> 00:15:30.040
and just to show my uh my total

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:33.399
nonbiased I balance out my swag with AMD

00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:36.040
swag and this is actually a a ruby sword

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

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

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

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:52.600
