00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:13.880
an eagle-eyed viewer uh spotted some tj07 parts in one of my recent videos

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.320
and asked when the next personal rig update is coming it is finally here I'm

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:22.880
sorry guys I've been super busy and I just haven't had much time to work on

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:28.439
the project but I do have some updates so sleeving is progressing here's the 24

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.880
pin sorry there's an extra piece of heat shrink here that will go at the other

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.719
end when I'm done with it but yeah sleeving is progressing so I'm ending up

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:42.800
with cables that uh are going to look pretty darn sharp once I C once I bind

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:47.559
them all together and run them in a way that is that is reasonably nice see

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:51.960
here's my uh here's my eight pin for the top of the motherboard you can see I've

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.160
done two cables per sleeve which I personally think looks pretty good I

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.160
haven't really seen that done before but I'm sure someone's done it but yeah so

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.719
there those ones will go around there somehow I've also got my r for my T

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:05.920
Virus Reservoir so I will be integrating

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:10.280
that into this build somehow you can see I'm experimenting with some fittings

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.439
over here so this is my old big bang X power motherboard this is not the one

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.880
I'm using just cuz my system is running on my test bench down here so I don't

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.759
want to uh I don't want to tear it apart

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.640
just yet but I think I'm going to have to in order to test fit everything

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:30.200
before I send see you can see the paint's been stripped off of uh off of

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.200
these parts before I send everything in to be powder coated cuz I'm going to

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.320
have to make whatever Cuts I want to make in the metal before I do that so

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:41.560
you can see I've made some modifications to this case in the past so there's a

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:47.159
hole here for running fan cables from these two 92 Ms and the two 120s that go

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:52.600
in the top uh but I'll probably want to widen that and then what I'll also

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:54.119
probably do normally I used to uh I've

00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:58.960
always run the eight pin under the motherboard here and then up the top

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:02.200
here because the tj7 US is larger than normal standoff

00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:07.000
but I think what I'm going to do this time is I'm actually going to widen this

00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:12.360
cut that I was using here for the SATA cables all the way along the back it'll

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:17.560
lose a little bit of strength but I think I'm willing to uh willing to make

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:23.120
that sacrifice here so I'm going to widen that and then run the eight pin up

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.760
the back and make some Cuts here for a

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.360
uh CPU cut out this is an older tj07 so it doesn't have some of the features

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:33.840
that the newer ones have cut here for an 8 Pin

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:35.120
cut here to run the 24 pin and I'll

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:41.280
figure out if there's anything else that I need to do I still got to figure out how I want to lay out my eight drives

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.120
cuz uh those are a bit of a be in terms of placement just because they take up a

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.280
fair bit of space now there are some challenges that I have here because I

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.440
don't know if you guys are going to be able to see this but there's some come

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:55.519
on Focus there you go there's some Nicks

00:02:53.440 --> 00:03:00.640
in the metal here some pieces are even worse check out this one see it's full

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.599
of little pock marks um and that was something to do with the

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.840
stripping process so not only that but it completely ate the threads out of

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:12.000
this piece um and then there's one other piece that's uh having a bit of trouble

00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.599
with the threads I was able to put the case back together though it just means

00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:20.440
that uh oh and these threads are still intact which is really fortunate because

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:25.920
I did not want to try to rebuild those in any way uh you can see here I'm using

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:28.519
some masking tape to uh dry fit the T

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:33.799
Virus res without scratching it I won't be using that when I do the final build

00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:39.120
uh routing the water cooling is I think I've pretty much figured out how I want

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:40.799
to do it I hate having tubing cross I I

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:45.599
don't think tubing should cross in a clean system so what I'm probably going

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:51.720
to do is I'm going to use a 90° fitting here this guy is going to be more in the

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:54.200
front of the case so closer to closer to

00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:57.519
over here like right up at the front so what that means is you're not going to

00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:02.360
be able to see that one then I want to do a hole I'll drill a hole through

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:07.040
this base plate here as well as through the USB 3 front panel thing that I'm

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:11.920
going to put right here uh in order to get that one down then I'm going to have

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.840
this come out it'll cross the T Virus

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:19.040
which I don't like but I'll I'll have to live with that it'll go to the Apple ghd

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:23.320
Gold down to here this will go to the res then the

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.880
res will go down to the pump which is going to sit down here in the basement

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:32.520
there's going to be a lot more room in the basement now with um with the c

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:39.759
Laing tidied up a lot down there hold on let me just sorry guys I apologize for

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.800
the born series like shaky cam that's

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.680
going on here so there's going to be a fair bit of space down here just cuz I'm

00:04:42.919 --> 00:04:50.360
going to have everything routed really cleanly um so then this will come out

00:04:48.919 --> 00:04:55.400
it's going to be pretty tight cuz it has to go down to that bottom that bottom

00:04:52.800 --> 00:05:01.960
tube or the the bottom fitting in order to make sure that the bubbles bleed more

00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:05.720
easily then out here which will go up

00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:08.720
to right here up to the second radiator

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.400
so the it would be easier for me if this

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.080
radiator could be turned the other way but once again for ease of bleeding I

00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:19.000
want to have the fittings on the top so that the air bubbles don't get caught in

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.000
it uh as

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:26.080
much really don't like the look of being able to see the power supply here what I

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.720
may do is remove the sticker just so that it's a little bit cleaner looking

00:05:28.039 --> 00:05:33.360
um I'm going to try to have as few hittings as I can up here at the top cuz

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:37.440
as you can tell I actually didn't terminate the ends on the power supply

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:40.520
itself as cleanly as I did the ends that are going to go to the components sort

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.840
of forgetting that I'm going to be able to see it you guys feel free to post in

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:50.000
the comments let me know what you think of this tubing placement right here I will be using my blue tubing but

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:53.880
basically these are going to run around here there we come out a little bit and

00:05:52.160 --> 00:06:01.400
then this tube is going to run from here to here with uh with silver compression

00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:03.039
fittings I just I just don't know about

00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:08.720
that one if I can tighten it up a little bit it might help but I'm just not sure

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:14.160
in terms of SATA cables I've decided to I've almost decided to go away from my

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:18.240
usual uh UV reactive SATA cables let me see if I can just find them they're the

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.960
ones that come with Intel's high-end boards or at least used to come with

00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:25.840
Intel's high-end boards anyway I can't find it but I think I'm going to go with

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.120
this guy because it does match the color scheme of the board even though it's not

00:06:28.039 --> 00:06:35.680
reactive in any way it's pretty close to the blue that's on

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:40.759
there and it'll allow me to have a really tidy uh run so what I'll do is

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:47.680
I'll go straight from the SATA output here then I will bring it through a hole

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:53.560
so I'll cut I'll cut maybe that hole will go uh further I'm not really sure

00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:56.479
through a hole and then up here over and

00:06:53.560 --> 00:07:00.280
down to the optical drive now this right now is screwed into uh some holes in the

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:06.440
motherboard tra that happened to be threaded correctly but what I'll probably do is move it over just a touch

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:09.800
and drill some new holes uh because it doesn't look like this is going to quite

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.280
fit I may also get a different optical drive I haven't decided what to do about

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:16.000
that I'm either going to powder coat this or I'm going to get a different

00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:22.879
optical drive so that it'll be flush here it won't be visible this is an older one it's an HD DVD blu-ray combo

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.680
drive so that's why it's so long too

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.680
many lasers

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.039
inside still haven't decided what to do about the outside side of the case the

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:35.800
Finish is damaged to the point where I don't want to just leave it but I'm not

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:41.000
really sure if I want to paint it anymore either um I may send it in to be

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:45.000
powder coated with the rest of the internal parts but I think the whole

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:50.000
machine's going to look really plain if I do that so I'm still very much

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:54.240
waffling about that overall nothing insurmountable the

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:56.479
t- virus looks amazing here I'll show you

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:03.720
guys that is going to be a heck of a centerpiece for this build oh you can't

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.479
really see it's so bright in here hold on let me turn off some

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:17.000
lights that's helping a little bit you can kind of see what it's going to look

00:08:13.159 --> 00:08:19.240
like oh sorry guys let me just oh no I

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.120
can't really take that down there that's okay you can kind of see what it's going

00:08:20.159 --> 00:08:26.240
to look like so that's going to look slick I've I'm just going to go with

00:08:24.159 --> 00:08:29.240
clear distilled plain water for the liquid I'm not going to do any kind of

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.279
coloration just cuz I don't want to deal with the gunk that inevitably builds up

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:43.480
I mean I've got quite the die collection let me tell you I have uh used a lot of

00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:46.040
dyes in my day and there's no

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:50.160
uh there's no winners where dyes are involved there they are this is my

00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:54.440
favorite die though this is some awesome fluorescent green stuff that Aqua tuning

00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:01.399
way back in the day yeah I got some old dette die this

00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:02.920
stuff was horrible got some fesser dieye

00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:07.399
stuff's all right but eventually um which color was it I can't

00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:12.640
remember there's one color that had that gunked up I'm sure they've changed the formulas since then it's been a long

00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:16.440
time since I've uh since I've used any of that stuff oh there's my old triple

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:20.560
rad that I used to be using in the bottom of my case now I'm using the

00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:24.959
quadruple so I think that pretty much does it for my update for now I still

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.839
have to uh I still have to go to the local glass shop where they told me they

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:34.920
should be able to do a oneoff piece of glass for me so sick of this gross uh

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:39.160
scratched up acrylic so I'm going to get something better for that I still got to

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.519
send away whatever Parts I decide to send away um like this this is going to

00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:48.200
be a bit of a challenge cuz this is supposed to screw on to this piece here

00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:52.320
but because all the threads are dead what I might end up doing is riveting it

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:57.959
on and then sending the whole thing to be powder coated as one piece so I still

00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:59.640
have a lot of prep to do before I can uh

00:09:57.959 --> 00:10:03.360
before I can go any further so thank you for checking out this personal rig
