1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,559
RGB RGB RGB it's like it's the only damn

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,880
thing anyone talks about these days even us i'm sure you guys saw the RGB build

3
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:17,039
guide well one of our writers Jake saw

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,960
it too and in a fit of what i can only describe as nerd jealousy

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,800
concocted up his own version of it in an

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:31,840
attempt to go even further over the top

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,680
by doing RGB hard line water cooling and

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:41,090
given how much you guys hated the anti-RGB build i mean this is clearly

9
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:47,520
what you want to see so i green lit it

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,239
Corsair's void pro gaming headsets feature microfiber mesh fabric and

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,640
memory foam ear cups as well as custom tuned 50 millimeter neodymium drivers

12
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,320
check them out at the link below the first step in any build is always

13
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,320
part selection

14
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:13,680
wait this time it was actually pretty interesting there were some legitimately

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,479
tense moments when Jake wasn't sure if

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:22,560
he was going to be able to one-up james by finding RGB components for every

17
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:28,159
single part of a water cooling loop but in the end he did so moving on then an

18
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:29,200
RGB CPU block wasn't hard to find

19
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:35,680
however most of the products on the market were either cheap knockoffs or just downright

20
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:42,240
hideous fortunately our friends over at ek had

21
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:46,159
the perfect solution their strix z270e

22
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,880
monoblock it keeps the vrms and the CPU

23
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:53,600
nice and chilly while also looking dank af this was actually our first time

24
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,759
using a full cover motherboard block so we'll spend a little more time on this

25
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:02,960
first the stock motherboard vrm heatsinks need to be removed then you

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:09,520
cut and stick on the included thermal pads you may also need to remove the

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,599
plastic io fascia piece being careful

28
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,400
with any connected cables while you do it

29
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,000
yeah then with everything prepped we put our

30
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,160
7700k in since this is a gaming machine

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,840
and applied a generous amount of thermal goop

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:32,319
RAM was next and while we actually tried to stay away from non-water cooling RGB

33
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:37,440
parts to keep the focus on the RGB loop g-skill trident z's are just too

34
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:42,000
irresistible so we went with a four by eight gig config to get all them slots

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:48,480
populated and meh man does that ever look good

36
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:52,000
next it was time to lay the monstrous

37
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,920
thermaltake tower 900 on its side and

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,440
remove the glass to make installation easy or at least possible

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:04,560
in went the io shield and then went ASUS's strix z270e

40
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:09,680
a solid motherboard choice for example features overclocking capability and

41
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,760
most importantly compatibility with our RGB block

42
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,400
as for the GPU we went with NVIDIA's flagship gtx 1080 ti because why the

43
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:23,200
heck not right but getting an RGB block for the graphics

44
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:29,040
card ended up being one of the most difficult parts to source for the build

45
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:34,000
most of what's out there in RGB is for the base 1080.

46
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,319
fortunately fantex is a lot better at

47
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,760
building sexy products than they are at making a website so after we overcame

48
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,200
some bad seo we set to work getting it installed

49
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:49,200
it did take a while but man is it ever worth it and just wait for when it's lit

50
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:56,000
up by far the most time-consuming part of this build was the hardline tubing

51
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,360
even after all the time spent planning out the loop

52
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,319
things changed as they always seem to do and hardline

53
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,439
tubing is challenging enough when you're just doing basic plumbing when all of a

54
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:14,640
sudden you want to power every one of the fittings to light up

55
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:19,280
your tubing well it adds a whole new dimension of

56
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:24,320
difficulty every single fitting needs to be individually powered ah holy crap

57
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,400
let's talk about the rest of the cooling system the star of the show here is

58
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:33,360
easily the dual quad 140 millimeter radiators installed

59
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,479
in the back now look i know this is basically the

60
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,960
most overkill possible setup and we could probably cool like

61
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,639
four Threadripper systems with it but if you haven't come to expect overkill

62
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,800
here atlanta's tech tips then what kind of fan are you

63
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:56,479
speaking of fans the obvious choice was our LTT edition Noctua fans again

64
00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:01,840
because this is about RGB water cooling not RGB air cooling now the original

65
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,560
plan for holding our tubes in place where they're converted to soft tubing

66
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:12,400
behind the motherboard tray was to 3d print some mounting brackets on the

67
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:15,600
ultimaker 3 but then came a stroke of

68
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,000
jerry rig university engineering genius

69
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,360
how about tension mounts with zip ties and anchors at the back

70
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,000
and it worked so with that system in place the tubes

71
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:31,520
were cut to a manageable length and then finished off with an RGB fitting tied to

72
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:34,000
a 90 degree angle to adapt to our soft

73
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:38,080
tubing hard in the front lots of wiggle room in the back

74
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:44,080
we actually really like this style of hardline since it makes maintenance much

75
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:47,520
easier finally cable management oh lordy

76
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,479
cable management even with sexy cablemod

77
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,840
cables running the 8 million individual wires

78
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,039
for every fitting around the back was a challenge to say the least but look at

79
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:00,400
this it's actually coming together quite

80
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:04,560
nicely all of the fittings conveniently plug

81
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:10,240
into a single controller giving the tubes a really pleasing glow that should

82
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,360
be made even more impressive once primochill's opaque white coolant

83
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:19,440
concentrate is added finally

84
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,919
time to fill our CPU and GPU are

85
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:27,360
actually on completely separate loops so we started on the GPU side

86
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:28,960
these gargantuan radiators take a huge

87
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,840
amount of water to fill but we eventually got them both filled

88
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,919
up and with zero leaks i'm impressed

89
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:41,199
which isn't to say that we didn't forget anything we had to unscrew the cap of a

90
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:45,440
filled reservoir to put on the RGB reservoir holder rings

91
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:50,880
but it was totally worth it then the cherry on top was a non-RGB Corsair

92
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,880
mp500 SSD that we couldn't install earlier because someone else had it in

93
00:06:52,720 --> 00:07:00,319
their test bench hyperdirt finally though we added the coolant concentrate

94
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,520
actually plugged in our mono block and damn

95
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:08,000
haters gonna hate but if you're being honest with yourself i think you have to

96
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:13,199
admit this is one of the best looking builds we've ever done and if you're not

97
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:18,000
ready to admit that yet well here's what i think will be enough

have new talking points bear trivia is a trendy topic at parties these days but

106
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:16,160
sometimes you just don't have enough facts to back up your opinion

107
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,680
fortunately we have some random bear trivia for you

108
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:23,519
here are a couple quick ones to keep you in the game bears might look slow and

109
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:28,399
clumsy but they can run up to 30 miles an hour for extended periods of time if

110
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:32,000
you see a bear don't try to outrun it in alabama it's illegal to keep or train

111
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:36,640
bears for the purposes of wrestling someone tries to sell you tickets to bear wrestling or ask you to hold their

00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:42,320
seat while they buy some honey just say no now kick the bear factor up another
