00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,640
hotspot shield service makes your internet browsing safer more secure and

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:12,160
fully private click now to learn more so our main video editor is actually

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,639
getting a new editing machine so it's

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,800
more of a frankenstein together of some existing things and

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,279
uh you know get some new things and we're kinda we're gonna end up with

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,680
what's a very strange rig so for people who are sitting there

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,080
thinking oh well this will be the optimal video editing workstation no no

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,920
no this is not necessarily what we're going for here his machine is built for

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,000
a very specific usage model which is what he exactly does and that's that's

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,520
pretty much it so i'm going to run through a quick parts list here

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,200
starting off with an Intel core i7 3960x

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,120
this is where the whole this isn't necessarily stuff i would

13
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:55,600
recommend thing comes into play because normally for a video editing workstation

14
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:59,680
i'd probably recommend a 3930k as opposed to a 3960x because extreme

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:05,360
editions don't really offer a great price to performance ratio we're going

16
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:08,000
to have 32 gigs of kingston value RAM

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:12,479
ddr3 1600 absolutely nothing special just because it happens to be validated

18
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:16,320
for the board that's more important to us than necessarily squeezing an extra

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:21,360
two three percent of performance out of whatever it is we're doing i'm going to

20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,439
be using an ASUS rampage for jean

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,200
motherboard okay it's not a workstation board

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,799
however it should be noted that even ASUS's gaming or channel boards go

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,840
through very a significant amount of validation

24
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,280
in terms of sort of weird obscure card operation and stuff like that and he'll

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,840
be running a 10 gigabit nick also it should be noted that rog boards have

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,479
very high end vrm solutions we're going to be building this inside a small

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,320
enclosure that's not going to have a whole lot of space so we're going to need something that runs as coolly and

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:57,840
as efficiently as possible and in addition to that basically it's just uh

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,960
as sweet as it gets in terms of micro

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,000
atx lga 2011 motherboards because we want

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,560
more cores we're running six cores in this machine six cores twelve threads

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:12,800
because we need wicked CPU performance with that said we also need wicked GPU

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,640
performance we need lots of pci express slots so we're going to have two

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,680
graphics cards in this system one of them is going to be i'm just going to

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:27,120
reach over here one of them is going to be a quadro 4000 and we used to use this

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,920
for all the cuda acceleration as well as

37
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,440
getting 10 bit color depth capabilities however we are going to be changing that

38
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:41,120
up a little bit because this is based on a gtx 470 it's based on an ancient GPU

39
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,680
at this point so it's kind of gotta go

40
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,480
which means that we still want it for the better color depth output but we

41
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,360
need something a little bit beefier when it comes to cuda acceleration and that's

42
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:56,160
why we're adding a secondary graphics card to the system so we're going to be

43
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:01,440
throwing in the GeForce gtx 780 wind force from Gigabyte

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,640
this should be able to stay cooled adequately because of its massive cooler

45
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:10,159
even though it's in a very small matx case and should give us lots of cuda

46
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,200
acceleration performance for applications like davinci resolve or

47
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:21,519
outputting using the built-in h.264 encoding

48
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,840
feature in kepler um diesel found a what

49
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:27,840
what was it it's a plug-in yeah a plug-in that is allows it to use

50
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,920
that to be much much faster than relying just on the CPU but of course we still

51
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:38,080
need a beefy CPU because there are lots of things we're going to be doing that will be CPU bound as well for the power

52
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,720
supply i don't know how borderline this is going to be but i've got a dark power

53
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:44,879
pro 550 watt uh we're going to find out

54
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720
if that ends up sort of reaching the max or not once we finish

55
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,760
the build so if it does then i'll swap it out for something else but i went

56
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:54,879
with a dark power power supply because they're very very quiet and one of the

57
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,040
things that happens a lot of the time with particularly diesel's rig because

58
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:03,840
he's got it running balls to the walls and maxed out all the time is that it

59
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:08,879
runs really really loud so i'm hoping this will help a little bit although

60
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:13,040
the CPU cooler is going to be a big part of that equation as well now i needed

61
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,799
something low profile and this is again part of the ghetto-ness of this rig in

62
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,720
spite of how awesome it's going to be is that this was the only low prior profile

63
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:27,360
CPU cooler i had lying around so this is a phanteks phtc 90 ls which is extremely

64
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:32,160
low profile like honestly this could probably go in like a 1u almost no

65
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,160
probably like a 2u but it's got this little tiny fan it claims to be lga 2011

66
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,840
compatible and capable of dissipating the massive amount of heat that these

67
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:45,040
chips output however i don't think we'll be doing any overclocking with a heat

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,000
sink this size um so there you go i guess we'll we'll find

69
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,639
out what happens we might end up swapping this out as well but if their

70
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,040
marketing claims are accurate then we may end up using it anyway i think

71
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,280
that's most of the components oh yeah we're using a crucial m4 SSD just

72
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,479
because they're reliable we trust them it's not the best performing SSD on the

73
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,520
market by any stretch but we're not really doing anything performance sensitive with it

74
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,840
we've got a velociraptor one terabyte that's going to go in there that just

75
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,080
acts as a random scratch disc or sort of

76
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:22,960
temporary storage but mostly we're going to be storing

77
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:29,280
things off of the machine itself on our 10 gigabit capable nas server so that's

78
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,639
why we need that 10 gigabit nic card so

79
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:37,520
that means we've got a single slot quadro a 10 gigabit single slot nic as

80
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:39,360
well as a dual slot gtx 780 all in this

81
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,600
machine now i ended up with a silverstone sg01 i was actually going to

82
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:47,600
use what is that thing i was going to use an sg09 but what i realized is that

83
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,400
it doesn't have a five and a quarter inch bay and i wanted a built-in card

84
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,240
reader because as you can imagine doing video production reading off of memory

85
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,840
cards comes up a fair bit it also has built-in fan control and he's one of the

86
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:04,319
few people i've ever met who actually tunes his fans according to what he's

87
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:07,360
doing so i'll set that up for him as well

88
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,199
and i think that pretty much wraps it up so here we go

89
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:16,000
so the first step for me is usually CPU installation it should be noted that lga

90
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:21,440
2011 cpus never come with a stock heatsink i believe you can actually buy

91
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,080
an Intel oem heatsink although the cost

92
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:28,880
of it and the performance of it makes like basically don't buy it please

93
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:34,240
yeah it makes no sense whatsoever just get a nice aftermarket one or

94
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:38,400
any aftermarket one and you'll be better off with that so you can see the lga

95
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,919
2011 chip is quite large but installs in much the same way that you would have

96
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:47,360
come to expect if you've ever installed an Intel CPU before in an lga socket so

97
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,479
there's a little golden triangle on that corner of the CPU right there

98
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:54,400
and then there's a corresponding triangle on the socket itself now it is

99
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,319
a little bit different in that it has two retention arms so you lift up the

100
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:02,639
one okay basically you can't take out the wrong one because if you pull on it

101
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,560
it's it's stuck so you take out the one with the with the hook then you take out

102
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:12,160
the one with the kink in the middle of it then once that's done you can lift

103
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:18,000
out the entire hold down plate position the CPU inside the socket

104
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:22,080
okay make sure it's in there then put this down put them back down in

105
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,360
the order that they were originally removed in and remove the cover i only

106
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,720
recommend removing the cover once you are done

107
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,160
doing the things that you're doing all right so we've got some included thermal compound

108
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:39,520
and i do put a little bit more on lga 2011 CPU simply because they're larger

109
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:45,120
and the dyes under the heat spreader are

110
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:52,080
larger than the lga lga 1155 1156 or 1150 cpus now here goes

111
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:56,639
this cooler so you can see we've got a nice shiny surface on the bottom it's

112
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:01,280
all brand new it's still never a bad idea to clean things off with alcohol

113
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,879
but we're not gonna worry too much about that in this case

114
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,240
for mounting hardware at least this uh this cooler has an extremely

115
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,800
straightforward mounting system this is one of the things i like about lga 2011

116
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:16,319
it's uh it's got a back plate built in which means that

117
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:21,520
many coolers are just a matter of aligning the lga 2011 screw with the

118
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,199
built-in back plate and screwing them in you can see the springs on there are

119
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:29,840
going to make sure that the tension is correct so you should be able to go all

120
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,399
the way to the end of the stopper tightening in a cross pattern not

121
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:39,200
tightening any of the screws fully until you are

122
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:43,839
until you have all of them mostly tight so here we go

123
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:48,000
okay we're back so diesel has seen fit to actually help me with this since it's

124
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:55,600
his machine that i'm building right now so all we got to do is go ahead and

125
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,640
put these under the little

126
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,839
oh hold on did i do that right

127
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,720
oh boy okay this is this is pretty finicky uh

128
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,880
after careful consultation of the manual we realized we had the fan upside down

129
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,959
so we flipped it around installed everything completely the opposite way

130
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,680
and now it makes an awful lot more sense we should also

131
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,880
you know since the whole point of this is we don't want it to be super loud

132
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:22,399
install the little rubber strips that are included so those should keep some

133
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:27,760
of the vibrations from the fans from being passed to the heatsink itself

134
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:33,279
so there we go and by fans i mean fan there's only one singular

135
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:39,120
grammar is important even though the world today doesn't seem

136
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:39,120
to think so i really am getting old

137
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:44,560
just go ahead and hook those on so it should be noted that many heat sinks

138
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:49,120
have this whole feature where there's a groove here that you can hook the wire

139
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,480
clip into however most of them have some leeway and flexibility in terms of where

140
00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:56,560
you can hook them onto not this heat sink so these ones are straight these

141
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:01,839
ones are grooved the wire only goes where the wire goes and that is it

142
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,880
so i usually tie the CPU fan cable into a bit of a little knot so that it

143
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:09,519
doesn't get in the way of anything before plugging it into the fan header

144
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:14,720
so here's diesel's x79 shuttle pc which was actually really hot at the back here

145
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,839
because he was just editing on it so the CPU sockets right under there quite

146
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,000
toasty this was serving us perfectly well

147
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:27,200
except that limited expansion so there's that quadro

148
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:32,480
there's that 10 gigabit nick how do we add something that augments the cuda

149
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:36,240
capabilities of the system well we can't because it only has the two expansion

150
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:41,120
slots so that's really the only reason why we're changing this out

151
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,120
for something else so here's the uh here's the guts i'm actually pulling the

152
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:51,440
RAM right now more than anything else and slick took my screwdriver

153
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:56,560
so i can only take out thumb screws at the moment you're almost done

154
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:01,200
almost all right so there we'll do a tour of this to stall for time so

155
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:05,519
there's that single slot quadro 4000 that gives us up to 10 bit 10 bit output

156
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:11,440
right yeah mind you we only have an 8 bit panel at best we have a pa246 here

157
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:16,000
it's 10 bit i thought it was 8 bit

158
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:20,640
oh okay well there you go apparently we have a 10 bit panel so that's where

159
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:25,360
diesel does all of his uh all of his color work let me go ahead and pull

160
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:29,600
these out there's that 10 gigabit nick that gives him pretty much

161
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:37,680
un bottlenecked access to our raid array

162
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,040
oh man this thing's hot holy cow

163
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:45,360
ow it says right on it it's hot don't touch

164
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,360
it so now we know

165
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:51,680
all right so here's our RAM guys please do note that even though it might not

166
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,200
seem like it i am grounding myself before i touch sensitive components so

167
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:00,800
you'll usually ground yourself on chassis or power supply or some large piece of

168
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,600
metal is usually adequate if you were going to do things properly you'd want

169
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,720
to use an anti-static wrist strap whether you put it around your wrist or your ankle is totally up to you

170
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:13,519
so here's our quad channel kingston value RAM memory i really don't

171
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:17,680
on our internal machines here we can install this in the rampage i really

172
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:22,000
don't believe in spending a ton of money on fancy memory because i have not

173
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,959
observed a huge performance difference however there are environments where you

174
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:28,639
will see better performance from better memory

175
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,800
ecc would probably be a recommended upgrade for this machine

176
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:36,560
or well for a rendering workstation i don't know that the rampage board

177
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:40,480
supports ecc memory but ecc memory wouldn't be a bad idea for long renders

178
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,639
where you don't want any errors you know causing it to stop working

179
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:48,480
you know if you're running a lot of virtualized

180
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:53,160
if you're doing a lot of virtualization faster memory can definitely benefit you

181
00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:00,160
but i mean for most of these workloads more memory is still kind of king

182
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,760
more than anything else so here are the drives i just had dummy ones before that

183
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:09,600
i was using as placeholders so these are going to come out and this machine is actually going to be

184
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:13,120
inherited by b-roll so we're going to find some lesser RAM and

185
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:18,160
lesser graphics card to put in there and then b-roll can make do with the on-board

186
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:23,200
networking haha b-roll now he's got his headphones

187
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,639
on he can't hear me so this case is really uh

188
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:32,240
very frankenstein it's been used a lot of times for a lot

189
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:36,959
of different builds and uh i don't have half of the screws so it's

190
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:42,399
just like random screws that are just jammed into places but i always end up

191
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:47,279
back with this case because it's extremely versatile it fits long

192
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:50,720
graphics cards they're reasonably long graphics cards i hope all the graphics

193
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,880
cards fit oh man this would be a good time to find that out as opposed to

194
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:58,959
later on down the line so we'll pull up the win force card i

195
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:04,160
don't know that i would have necessarily chosen a wind force card for this

196
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:06,399
particular rig if if given a choice but

197
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:12,320
i mean i'm not gonna i'm not gonna discard the winforce card and then like

198
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:16,320
go buy another one separately oh wow yeah that isn't even close so we're

199
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:19,279
gonna have to pull out the drive cages i guess

200
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:23,120
in order to have that card fit what i would i normally probably would have

201
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,160
rather done well there's intakes on the side but i

202
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:30,959
would have rather gone with a blower style cooler that exhausts everything out of the case

203
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:35,279
but you know we make do with what you have i guess

204
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,880
you know if we have to use that gtx 780

205
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:40,399
then we can but usually i recommend wind force cards

206
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,639
for more of an open case design where there's a lot more space i don't need

207
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:48,240
the front firewire cable still so i had disconnected that during a previous

208
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:54,320
build and for that matter i don't need the front audio either because the five

209
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:57,440
and a quarter inch bay here this is what often irks me about these things is

210
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,959
they're like yeah we want you to have all the i o in the front of your case like why would i need a nut what case

211
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,639
doesn't have front audio and what motherboard has you know two hookups for

212
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:12,560
it so why are you giving me this i don't need this i want a card reader usb 3

213
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:14,480
esata's fine but stuff where it's like a

214
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,199
hundred percent going to replicate something that your case already had

215
00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:20,480
just kind of kind of irks me so anyway we don't need

216
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:24,320
the front audio there so we're just going to use the hook up the front usb 2

217
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,880
and the front um

218
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:33,120
sort of power reset all that good stuff so the next stage now that we've

219
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:39,519
stripped everything out of the case is probably to install the i o shield

220
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:42,079
so just get all four sides just like that

221
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,720
all the standoffs are already in this case so i don't really have to worry about

222
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:51,120
moving them around or anything like that microatx is quite a bit more

223
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:55,279
well more standard than atx in terms of where the standoffs go some atx boards

224
00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:59,120
particularly a few years ago had you know standoffs missing or standoffs

225
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,320
added compared to other ones so you had to be a little bit careful

226
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,480
to make sure that you don't short out your board by accidentally having a standoff installed somewhere where you

227
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:10,240
don't need one it's actually a lot less important

228
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:15,920
to have all the standoffs installed versus not having any extras installed

229
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:18,480
extras are really really terrible

230
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:23,279
so once the i o shields in all we got to do is grab that their motherboard so

231
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:27,759
this you guys are going to see why i needed to have a low profile CPU

232
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:32,800
cooler there is not going to be a lot of space once we install our power supply

233
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,560
which i have misplaced there it is there's not going to be a

234
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:39,279
lot of space once we have our power supply installed

235
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,079
under there so even the even that stock lga 2011

236
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,160
cooler i don't think is going to fit in this config

237
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,519
so now we screw in the motherboard i don't remember which uh which type of

238
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:56,639
screws it uses so the trick that i usually use

239
00:16:54,639 --> 00:17:00,880
is start with a small one so those are the ones that are threaded

240
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:05,120
for optical drives often motherboard standoffs and then if

241
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,559
those ones don't stay in then switch to a coarser thread one which are the ones

242
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:12,480
that are threaded for hard drives for example so we'll go with

243
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:20,000
this guy and you can see that that is indeed holding so it looks like this

244
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:23,679
motherboard uses the smaller threads or this case uses smaller threads

245
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,000
so i'm trying to figure out how to get the drives in here um

246
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,240
because i have to take out the drive mounting cage i'm stuck with one of a

247
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:35,280
few different options so i can either just like bolt the volt i mean the SSD

248
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,960
i'm not worried about that one could just kind of hang out inside the case as

249
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:42,799
long as it's like velcroed to something but hard drives i tend to prefer a more

250
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:47,520
stable mount so i was thinking what i could do is i could grab some silicone

251
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:51,520
isolators that i salvaged from another case and maybe just mounted in the

252
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,559
bottom here by drilling some holes through the bottom of the case

253
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:58,880
or another option would be to mount it in the five and a quarter inch bay in a

254
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:02,000
similar fashion in fact i think

255
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,320
that might actually work best because then i could just take the SSD

256
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,679
and this one chuck them in there

257
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:14,000
and hopefully i would actually still even be it yeah i

258
00:18:11,679 --> 00:18:17,120
think so i think i can even still fit my five and a quarter inch card reader

259
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:20,799
thing if i run all these through here man

260
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:24,960
there's gonna be a lot of cables in here it's a good thing we're using a modular

261
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:30,160
power supply what is that oh

262
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:32,960
apparently i owe diesel like 500 because

263
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,559
my camera broke his lenses or something so he's

264
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:40,559
quietly sneaking that onto my desk before he goes

265
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:45,039
it's like awesome all right so there we go yep it looks

266
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,640
like i'm going to be able to fit all that stuff in there

267
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,679
without too much trouble i really don't like how little room there is for air

268
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:58,240
flow around that velociraptor though so i still might opt to put it down here this

269
00:18:55,919 --> 00:19:02,640
is kind of ridiculous i've uh i've never seen anything like this before but this

270
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:06,320
multi-uh multi-function front panel thing actually comes with

271
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,880
its own self-tapping like plastic screws

272
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,120
that go into some special

273
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:19,120
holes that are just plastic and are not threaded at all

274
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,280
it apparently uses a little tiny phillips head bit so i'm going to have

275
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:26,559
to grab a different bit unbelievable

276
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:30,320
sometimes you just encounter like the weirdest stuff that just has no right to

277
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:35,360
exist and you just kind of go okay well whatever when i'm building machines for my own my

278
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,960
own personal use or for internal use here at Linus media group

279
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:42,080
it's very rare that you'll catch me putting all the screws in especially for

280
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:45,919
things like you know a front panel card reader

281
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,679
two screws is fine you know you don't have to

282
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,520
you don't have to attach every you don't have to weld everything to the case

283
00:19:53,919 --> 00:20:00,080
unless it's something where there's like a you know a safety reason or a

284
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:04,799
reliability reason that it needs to be attached incredibly well so i'll just

285
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,440
put in on the corners although it could be argued that i should probably put in

286
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:12,240
all four of these because they're like these weird special custom screws that

287
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,880
i'll probably never encounter ever again so if i were to lose them then i would

288
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,360
never be able to do a proper installation of this thing with all four screws so there you go

289
00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:23,280
i'll at least put them in a little bit so that they'll stay there

290
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:27,200
and not come out um i do have some new ideas for how to

291
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:32,960
mount the hard drive well not really new ideas but i've went i've gone and obtained the hardware

292
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:36,799
so i grabbed some uh some screws so these are hard drive

293
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,919
screws that have a non-threaded portion in the middle so i don't even know if

294
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,200
you guys can see that at all but whatever anyway and some uh silicone or

295
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:48,480
rubber isolators so i'm gonna put some holes in the bottom of the case and i am

296
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:53,600
going to mount that hard drive down here in the bottom i am going to end up with a ridiculous

297
00:20:51,760 --> 00:21:00,000
amount of front panel i o stuff connected so hd audio goes into the aafp

298
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,600
over here that's one of the things i also like about this board it has a

299
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:09,360
great onboard audio solution so when he's um working on audio

300
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:13,679
stuff which evidently he does apparently some point in time um

301
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,640
you know the the quality of it isn't going to be just so horrible that it's

302
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:21,120
unusable i mean a lot of the time the issue with onboard audio solutions is

303
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,520
less to do with even that the quality is terrible which it usually is but often

304
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:28,640
more to do with that the drivers are terrible and i would have higher

305
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:33,520
expectations than that from something like an rog

306
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:36,960
supreme fx3 audio solution so there you go that's one of the reasons to justify

307
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,840
a high-end board if you really need to do that for yourself i mean really the

308
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:45,840
reason for us going with the high-end board for this is more to do with just

309
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:48,159
um we want the utmost in terms of

310
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,760
reliability i could kind of considered overclocking it and so that was that was

311
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,960
one of the reasons why we'd gone with an rog board but i mean particularly on a higher end socket like lga 2011 you're

312
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,799
going to expect to get better overclocking headroom out of out of a

313
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:04,799
better board with the consumer grade platforms it's less less of a factor

314
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,919
from what i've seen in the last couple gens

315
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:12,000
um yeah i don't know not much else to say at the moment so i'm just plugging in

316
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,159
all the front panel stuff so that was my front panel connectors they're labeled

317
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,440
on the board i mean those little things high-end boards those convenient

318
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:24,480
creature and comfort features that you don't really get on the low end stuff

319
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,640
where normally you'd have to go look in the manual or something like that

320
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:33,600
because of the unique configuration with our five and a quarter inch bay device

321
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:38,159
and the fact that this board has four or this case has four front panel usb 2

322
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,559
ports we're going to end up with a total of six front usb ports which is great

323
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,600
because he really uses a lot of them so we'll go ahead and plug those in down

324
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:51,600
here and i've got a phone call so i'm going to go ahead and take that

325
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:54,320
oh how disappointing i miscounted the uh

326
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:58,559
the number of front usb plug-in devices that i had versus headers so actually

327
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:02,559
two of the ports on the front will be dead so that the card reader can get the

328
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:06,159
usb connection that it needs

329
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:10,000
that's a shame and it comes on its own full block here even though actually

330
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,520
only four of the pins are populated so it could have in theory supported at

331
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,520
least one more port but oh well cable management here is going

332
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:23,280
to be a bit of a bit of a trick just because all those cards have to be

333
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:28,159
installed somehow i usually cut these off these days these this is the old

334
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:31,600
ac97 um

335
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,559
onboard audio pins or wires or whatever you want to call them so

336
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:38,000
if you're not going to use them which you're not unless you're going to

337
00:23:36,159 --> 00:23:41,200
install like

338
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:44,559
on like a pentium 3 computer or something and just you can just cut them

339
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:48,559
off because otherwise they can be in the way of things just make sure you don't cut them off in such a way that they're

340
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:52,640
going to short out on each other or anything like that so this gives us a

341
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:56,320
lot less room for

342
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,080
that brilliant hard drive mounting strategy that i'd come up with

343
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:06,480
which could make things a little bit challenging maybe what we can do is we can take all these wires

344
00:24:03,679 --> 00:24:12,320
and we can actually manage them up here off of off of sort of ground level

345
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,520
so that we don't get in the way of everything so if we just kind of tuck

346
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,120
everything over here we should still have space for that long card which i've

347
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,600
decided is going to go in the third pci express slot so that's

348
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:29,279
a full 16x slot so full bandwidth yeah yeah

349
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:35,440
and there we go so we should have room for

350
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:37,279
that and the quadro should fit just fine

351
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,120
where there's a little bit less room so that one will go right there

352
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,039
like that yep should be just dandy okay so here i'm

353
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:49,039
eyeballing approximately where on the bottom i want to drill the holes for the

354
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:52,960
hard drive i don't know off the top of my head what the spacing is so what i

355
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:57,200
did is i marked approximately where i want one of them to go with sort of

356
00:24:55,039 --> 00:25:00,320
landmarks of junk that goes through and just making sure that things like

357
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:05,120
this that are poking through aren't going to be interfering with anything so it apparently will sit about there then

358
00:25:03,679 --> 00:25:10,240
what i'll do is i'll measure this out and drill holes so wish me luck with that i

359
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,400
don't recommend drilling holes in a system with components already installed

360
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:17,919
in it but there are things you can do to prevent it from being as much of a

361
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,200
problem so you can put masking tape over it so that the shavings don't go flying

362
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:24,159
all over the place orient it so that they fall away from the components and

363
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:29,120
all that but really please don't do that in general all right so hopefully these

364
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:33,400
are approximately right i hope yeah i still have audio here we go

365
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,600
oh i went through the mother no i'm just kidding all right next hole

366
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,080
okay number two and i was only able to put in three

367
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,840
because one of them ended up under this foot so we'll just see how this goes

368
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:23,120
okay no idea if these are going to align or

369
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:29,200
not but the only way to find out for certain

370
00:26:25,679 --> 00:26:29,200
is to measure before you i mean

371
00:26:29,919 --> 00:26:37,720
just try things all right

372
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,720
here we go

373
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,679
where are the holes where do they go

374
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,360
there's one sort of it's hard to see here

375
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:56,320
oh wait wait for it no

376
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,320
no that's not a hole

377
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:04,960
that's interesting ah yes i see the problem now right i moved it

378
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:08,559
further down because i didn't want to interfere with the SATA ports other than

379
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:13,279
that there's nothing hanging off the right hand edge of the board that would interfere with

380
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,799
plugging things into the hard drive that the hard drive would prevent from

381
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,600
operating correctly all right so

382
00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:25,360
there's one of them so one of them definitely lined up with

383
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:25,360
something

384
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,080
all right so the idea being that

385
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:40,320
huh that's a shame that's the biggest drill bit in slick's kit so uh that's

386
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:44,799
not big enough to put these through without the threading unfortunately

387
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:50,320
which means that i might have to go back to the uh

388
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,840
back to my own house to get my own kit

389
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,840
to do that okay well we'll continue this when we're

390
00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:00,000
ready oh look at that that one almost lines up

391
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:04,480
so that should be good enough for our purposes here so i did wuss out and

392
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:09,600
remove the motherboard so yeah the mess of all the filings around

393
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:12,480
here is less of an issue i was able to find another wider bit

394
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:19,200
so i did end up being able to drill the holes that i need so my brilliant plan

395
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,880
is screws through here

396
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,880
okay i've only got three still just because

397
00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:31,360
that foot was in the way then i'm going to put the rubber isolators on the other

398
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:36,720
side then i'm going to attempt to screw in the drive so this is going to be a

399
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,720
bit of a balancing act here

400
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:42,640
i've gone ahead and put the board back in off camera now

401
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:47,679
so that's done oh wow yeah because all of

402
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,960
these have to go on i hope you guys can see this

403
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,480
yeah all of these have to go on and they all have to kind of stay in place at the

404
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:58,880
same time which isn't going to be easy

405
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,640
it's okay these are the challenges that make pc building fun

406
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,600
as opposed to you know just buying things that all work together in the

407
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,960
first place yeah that's for noobs

408
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,240
or something no actually this just makes it more

409
00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:17,559
stressful but whatever all right so we're going to go ahead and put that

410
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,559
drive on there now

411
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:46,159
wow it worked okay i don't need to mush the crap out

412
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:50,000
of those isolators just got to make sure that it's reasonably firmly mounted

413
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:57,760
and there we have it the hard drive

414
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:02,960
is now mounted actually pretty darn securely i don't have as much clearance

415
00:29:59,919 --> 00:30:05,200
over on this side if i as i had hoped

416
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:08,480
for the connectors but that's okay i'll just go find a left angle connector for

417
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:13,039
the SATA port and then we'll figure out power can't be that complicated

418
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:18,799
and there you have it all right so i did manage to get

419
00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:22,720
just regular straight SATA connectors in there although it's extremely tight so

420
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,880
we'll add this to the long list of things i wouldn't recommend doing about

421
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:31,120
this build i got my industrial strength velcro

422
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:35,039
so i'm going to go ahead and attach the SSD i decided rather than using up a

423
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:40,399
five and a quarter inch bay i mean the whole the whole you know notion of

424
00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:45,520
drives must go where the manufacturer says they should go to me that really uh

425
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:50,640
that really that really bothers me drive should go wherever is most convenient

426
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:54,240
and awesome so i'm going to go ahead and put some velcro on the back of this

427
00:30:52,399 --> 00:30:57,600
drive so that'll give me the option to add an optical drive later should i

428
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:02,640
should i choose to um by doing this this way so i'm adding

429
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:09,840
sticking the velcro side to here and then i'm going to go ahead and i'm going to put this SSD kind of here ish

430
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:13,840
kind of here-ish no i'm going to put it here there we go so the SSD will go there

431
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,799
that separates it enough from that velociraptor that i don't have to worry

432
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,399
about heat or anything like that because i had

433
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:26,159
thought about just sticking it straight to the top of the velociraptor but then i changed my mind about that i don't

434
00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:30,320
want the SSD to have its lifespan affected by its

435
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:35,039
neighbor like i do can you guys believe i have to

436
00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:39,360
sit like right across from diesel my desk here at work right across from

437
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:42,880
him i mean the music he listens to he listens to bieber

438
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,200
so for all those of you who think he's cool

439
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:50,720
now i guess that is pretty cool oh wait

440
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:55,679
um so all of our front panel connectors are all attached i'm starting i've wired

441
00:31:53,519 --> 00:32:01,240
up the drives uh now it's pretty much time to get the expansion cards in here

442
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,600
i said no no no see now you've got that song stuck in my

443
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:15,200
head wow this uh this case is uh

444
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:19,200
not has seen better days let's just say that the spacing of like the pci bracket

445
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,240
isn't even right anymore that's the thing about aluminum cases is they often

446
00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:27,600
uh they often bend in pretty spectacular ways

447
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:35,519
so oh this is a pci okay well here's a good tip for you guys PCIe 8x cards can be

448
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,960
installed in PCIe 4x slots you might get

449
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:40,799
slightly less overall bandwidth available to the card i don't remember

450
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:46,559
on these 10 gigabit cards whether they actually needed all of the available

451
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:50,799
bandwidth i think each PCIe

452
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:52,159
2x lane or PCIe 2.0 lane is around 250

453
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:55,679
megabytes per second so we should be pretty close to all that it can consume

454
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:59,120
actually but there you go if i ideally i would

455
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:05,919
put it in another slot but in order to get all my cards in here that's not going to work so this case has

456
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:09,919
a kind of a unique fan arrangement here which i actually had turned around

457
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,840
before so i had this as exhaust and this is intake but i'm going to put those

458
00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:17,600
back in the default configuration so i can bring nice fresh air down to

459
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,919
particularly these ones there's vents in the side the wind force can take

460
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:25,760
advantage of but particularly these ones i want this fan to get nice fresh air

461
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:34,080
and i want this heatsink to get some incidental cooling as well so

462
00:33:30,399 --> 00:33:35,600
last but not least the windforce gtx 780

463
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,640
for cuda i can see diesel

464
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:43,679
drooling over there about the fast output times

465
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:48,720
you're not drooling are you it's okay because i can't see you either

466
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:50,399
so everything i said was a lie

467
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,000
everything i said was a lie

468
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:58,720
except the part about installing this graphics card there we go so one screw i

469
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,960
actually only had three screws in there so i'm just gonna find another random

470
00:34:00,159 --> 00:34:05,200
one there we go and let's put that in there

471
00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:12,399
all right so that my friends is one

472
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,720
monkey jam-packed card configuration

473
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:19,760
love it all right so i turned the fans around

474
00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:22,960
you can see right here is where the power supply sits on the other side so

475
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:28,399
this piece of steel and this piece is aluminum since it doesn't really do anything other than hold a couple of

476
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,839
fans there's no actual structural integrity of the case that's

477
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:35,679
being taken care of i'm pretty sure this isn't

478
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,480
how you're supposed to put it in but yeah

479
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:42,159
i'm pretty sure a lot of the stuff we've done with this build isn't how you're

480
00:34:39,919 --> 00:34:46,639
supposed to put it in now this bracket uses those weird countersunk screws that

481
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:50,079
only silverstone and like some other sort of weird

482
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:54,639
manufacturers seem to use and i only have like two of them so i'm gonna put

483
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:58,240
this in as best as i can without having to use too many of them

484
00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:05,040
if you don't use the countersunk ones though then the

485
00:35:00,839 --> 00:35:07,280
uh the case cover doesn't sit right so

486
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,960
you you just kind of have to you kind of have to use them maybe this one will

487
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:16,640
work i'll try this one so that's pretty low profile

488
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:20,160
so there we go now we have our cooling fans in place i just got to find

489
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:25,599
somewhere to tuck these this is a uh this is a working machine

490
00:35:23,359 --> 00:35:29,200
not a show machine so cable management is a bit of a secondary

491
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,280
concern as long as it's out of the way of airflow i don't get too uptight about

492
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:38,240
it and stuff like this so there we go yeah we've got nice

493
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:42,320
unrestricted airflow from our intakes to our graphics cards

494
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,040
and it's pretty much time to get the power supply in here now with these

495
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:51,119
smaller form factor systems i often find it's easier to install the modular

496
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:56,240
cables first and then actually install the power

497
00:35:54,240 --> 00:36:00,880
supply so i'm going to start with i really wish these would stay under that

498
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:04,800
usb 3 cable that is supposed to be kind of anchoring them i mean i could cable

499
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:08,320
tie them down which would be a better way to do this but i'm trying to get

500
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:14,000
this done so that diesel can get back to work because it is now the next day

501
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:17,280
wow this 780 takes two eight pins do they all do that

502
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:21,040
i can't even remember all right so i'm going to run this through over here

503
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,079
then over here because once we've got the power supply

504
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:32,800
in this case it's going to be a total nightmare to get my hands in anywhere

505
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:37,920
so just get it all done now

506
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:42,160
make life easy for ourselves i mean as easy as it can be when you're

507
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,960
just making your own drive mounts as you go and uh

508
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:51,680
sort of playing by no one's rules except your own

509
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,680
not even your own

510
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,119
all right i think there's that yeah so this powerful this is one of the

511
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:01,520
things i like about be quiet! power supplies is they tend to come with sort

512
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:07,359
of a bunch of different options in terms of the modular cables so it comes with a

513
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:08,560
dual PCIe and a single PCIe on a 550

514
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:13,040
watt power supply i think the manufacturer's expectation is that

515
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:16,240
you're using one of those two options but we're going to go ahead and use both

516
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,720
i mean they give you the modular connections on the power supply for it

517
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,880
so you know they asked for it i guess

518
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:26,560
my expectation for a dark power power supply is also that it's going to be

519
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:30,720
able to handle pretty much near its peak output at any given time so i'm not

520
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:36,160
worried about blowing it up or anything like that next up we've got our wow that's a long

521
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,800
cable this is where those short cable kits that guys like silverstone sell

522
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:44,160
come in handy because this is an awfully long cable and the only real way to

523
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:48,400
cable management is going to be to chuck it back here or something

524
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:52,160
or potentially actually we could throw it over here with all these other cables

525
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,839
near the hard drive that'll probably work

526
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,960
but it if we were relying on any airflow from

527
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:02,160
the front of the case which this case doesn't have then this isn't really

528
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:07,119
something that i would want to do too much so there's that one and finally the

529
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:11,440
24 pin connector is pre-attached to the power supply so we're pretty much ready

530
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:15,440
to put the power supply in and find out if this system

531
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,079
works at all i think it comes with its own special

532
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,800
screws so i'll find those and

533
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:26,880
right at exactly the moment where i had found some other thumb screws that also

534
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:31,760
had nice long threads on them diesel found the be quiet! thumb screws that

535
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,480
have even longer threads so that you can really

536
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:38,480
you know put them on there and get that power supply installed i like the noise

537
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:42,720
isolating strip i wish that it didn't reduce compatibility with other screws

538
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:46,960
but you know sometimes that's the sacrifice you have

539
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:50,800
to make so there you go so those are installed

540
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:54,640
which brings us back to the inside wow this is starting to get heavy with those

541
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:59,280
graphics cards in there so that brings us to the inside so we're

542
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,960
going to tuck our 24 pin actually no we're going to plug in the modular

543
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:08,320
cables that we have here first so i'll try and get you guys a decent

544
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,800
view of that so pci express we have four

545
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:14,160
different pci express plug options here

546
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,839
again the thing with the whole like options on the be quiet! power supplies

547
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,880
that i uh that i quite like next we've got one for drives

548
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:28,960
all right oh actually let's do oh cool it has fan

549
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:32,480
plugs too so we could actually we're using manual fan control in the front of

550
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:37,520
the case but if we weren't using that then we can have the power supply

551
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:42,079
control our fans which is kind of neat

552
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:46,400
actually all right so the CPU connector goes over here most modular power

553
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,920
supplies these days use the same plugs for the

554
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:54,079
p4 connector or p8 connector or whatever you want to call it and pci express but

555
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,599
this one doesn't it has a specific spot for it i wonder if it has to do with the

556
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:02,320
way that the rails are distributed because it is not a single rail power

557
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:06,560
supply it is a multi-rail power supply so we've got that

558
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:09,680
we can tuck our 24 pin up here in the five and a quarter inch bay at least

559
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:13,200
until we wanted to install a five and a quarter inch drive maybe at some point

560
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,800
in the future and then what i'm going to do this is

561
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:22,000
something that i often do with builds is i use cables to cable manage so i'm

562
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:26,240
going to use the 24 pin to hold all that other stuff out of the way of the CPU

563
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:31,760
fan so that there's nothing interfering with it so if i can just get in there

564
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:36,560
a little bit better i should have plugged this in just like

565
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:40,079
i did with all the other cables first before i actually installed the power

566
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,920
supply fully because the cable's so long i could have gotten away with that

567
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:48,880
even though it's pre-attached this is one of the reasons why full modular can

568
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:54,160
be nice even if it's not a necessity because it does allow you to fully wire

569
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:56,880
up your system before you actually have

570
00:40:54,160 --> 00:41:00,800
to put the power supply in it or if your rma in your system or your

571
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:05,200
power supply for example it can be a great way to not have to actually rewire

572
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,400
anything when the new one arrives back which is neat as well

573
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,319
i'm having a little bit of difficulty here yep

574
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:16,560
having some difficulty a little trick guys if you plug the four pin in first

575
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:22,079
then the 20 pin will often sit on top of it and lock it

576
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,599
into place depending on how the cable is

577
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:27,839
designed and that is how this one is designed so that's in there now and then

578
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:31,200
the last thing we need is it would be just like be quiet! to

579
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:36,800
include something like this but i need like a single molex

580
00:41:34,319 --> 00:41:41,680
oh they got a single SATA all right so i was close

581
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,680
and a single molex look at that i love

582
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:47,920
it because i don't need any more than that so i'm just going to plug in my

583
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,599
dual SATA connector for the drives down there

584
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:56,079
oh i'm trying to get you guys a view of this but it's not working too well

585
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:59,760
so that's going to go into drives number five and then my other my molex

586
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,920
connector is going to go into drives number four and i'll be using that to

587
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,359
power my front panel five and a quarter inch bay device which

588
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:10,480
is going to power my fans and my built-in card reader

589
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:15,520
and evidently all the other things one thing i didn't show you guys is i did plug in

590
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:17,440
the SATA connector for the esata in the front panel

591
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:22,079
so all the i o options will be had with

592
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:24,720
this particular machine very cool

593
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:31,200
there we go not the greatest cable management i've ever done but lots of

594
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:34,000
clearance around the CPU cooler which hopefully works otherwise we're gonna

595
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:37,520
have to pull the power supply out and swap that out for something a little bit

596
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,640
taller perhaps and uh

597
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,480
hopefully ample cooling for those graphics cards and hopefully enough

598
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:49,280
power so there's a lot of things to test once we fire this bad boy up

599
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:52,880
so it's moment of truth time we're going to find out if she boots up

600
00:42:53,760 --> 00:43:00,160
i really hope we get into the os because we don't have time to reformat before

601
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,960
pax so

602
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:09,599
yeah if there's any kind of hardware conflicts or anything like that oh we've

603
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:12,720
got an rog logo that's a good sign

604
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:15,200
uh there's our 10 gigabit nick so that's

605
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:15,200
detected

606
00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:21,280
fan control

607
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:29,119
seems to be working all right so we've got that going here

608
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:36,319
new CPU installed press f1 to run setup 32 gigs of RAM

609
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:39,440
both of our hard drives are detected this is all looking

610
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,960
pretty uh pretty solid so far

611
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:48,079
f1 to run setup let's make sure we don't have any sort of completely weird this

612
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:55,119
is something i really recommend doing right oh that CPU is at that 57 degrees

613
00:43:53,200 --> 00:44:01,359
already that is a big that is a big problem at idle we should be not sitting

614
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,359
at 57 degrees

615
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:10,160
that i'm not happy about i wonder if there's anything we could do

616
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:15,440
fan wise to uh to be a bit more aggressive although

617
00:44:13,119 --> 00:44:19,359
often a very high idle temperature actually indicates a bad amount so we

618
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:23,839
may want to take it right off and then put it back on and see if see

619
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:27,520
if that alleviates the problem well let's find out if

620
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:31,920
she'll boot either way i mean 60 degrees is hot but it's not um

621
00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:37,800
it's not it'll break immediately if we go into an os hot so

622
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,800
oh that's a shame

623
00:44:37,839 --> 00:44:43,520
let's find out your boots i guess you guys can come along for the ride if you

624
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:48,240
want we're pretty much done here i was just thinking uh because diesel and i

625
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:53,280
were having a conversation about the irony of amy winehouse making a hit song

626
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:57,599
this is actually his observation not mine i can't take credit for this or

627
00:44:54,720 --> 00:45:00,800
blame or whichever making a hit song about not going to

628
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:04,720
rehab and then dying of drug related complications and

629
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,440
i was actually thinking so this is my contribution to the to the discussion

630
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:11,839
that the the name irony should actually be

631
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:17,920
different because irony has iron in it which rusts

632
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:20,960
and deteriorates over time but irony i believe will be just as delicious a

633
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:25,920
thousand years from now as it was a thousand years ago

634
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:29,200
when dinosaurs and their hubris okay i think we're done

635
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,880
now so rendering oh okay we gotta wait well

636
00:45:31,359 --> 00:45:36,319
either way we're into the os so i'm not too worried about it at this point so

637
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:40,880
that's great the upgrade worked we just got to diagnose our CPU

638
00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:46,560
uh oh yeah and we've got to find out about power consumption as well

639
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:48,240
so we're sitting at 160 watts idle

640
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,800
right now so

641
00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:57,520
we'll be back so this is a bit of a public service announcement on why ps2 keyboards are

642
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:02,000
still important and ps2 ports are still important because they don't require any

643
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:05,440
drivers so we've booted up again and we're still not getting our keyboard and

644
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:09,839
mouse drivers loaded now ps2 doesn't support hot uh hot swap on many

645
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:15,359
or hot plugging or whatever you would call it on many motherboards so we're gonna reboot this and then we should be

646
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:19,440
able to use the ps2 keyboard to at least navigate into the os

647
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:24,400
where the drivers are more likely to be picked up and installed

648
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:28,240
all right so i'm pretty sure at this point that it's not a bad mount just

649
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:32,240
because it doesn't really seem to be behaving like one but there's only one

650
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:36,079
way to know for sure what i did determine is that there is enough room

651
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:40,319
in here for the stock cooler that we happen to have one

652
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:44,960
of so we're going to go ahead and install that but once we pull it off

653
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:49,599
we'll be able to tell for sure if it was a bad mount or if it's just uh

654
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:54,000
not quite up to the task of an extreme edition

655
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:56,720
on lga 2011 here now i think i have some

656
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:00,160
bad news i think i can get this one out but i don't think i'm going to be able

657
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:03,599
to get that stock cooler in without removing this

658
00:47:04,319 --> 00:47:13,040
brace here so i really really hope that that doesn't end up being the case but

659
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:17,200
you gotta work with what you got yeah see that that's a perfectly fine thermal

660
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:22,240
paste application there so i really don't think that was the

661
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:28,480
issue it's not too much not too little just right as papa bear would say or

662
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:31,200
goldilocks or whoever it was that uh

663
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:35,359
it was goldilocks apparently okay well whatever man so i'm gonna

664
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:38,560
you know speaking of perfect thermal paste applications i'm gonna commit a

665
00:47:37,119 --> 00:47:43,440
sin here and i'm going to just kind of plunk this

666
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:49,520
on top of the old thermal paste once i can find something to

667
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:51,680
wipe it off with do you have any teepee

668
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:56,079
really i stole it

669
00:47:54,079 --> 00:48:00,880
uh i call rubbish on that you brought it downstairs

670
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:05,119
okay that does sound like me all right time to put a beefier cooler in here so

671
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:09,760
i've at least cleaned off the base so we're going to go ahead and

672
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:13,760
yeah i guess we'll install it first i really hope this fits

673
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:21,319
or well the screwdriver fits and i'm able to get in there and screw it in

674
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:21,319
come on come on come on gill

675
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:27,359
oh i think we got this nice

676
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:31,680
oh except that wire that's under the uh heatsink that'll be a problem

677
00:48:29,359 --> 00:48:35,760
at some point in the future here in like four minutes

678
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:40,240
okay same thing cross pattern

679
00:48:38,319 --> 00:48:46,760
this side first remember going in at an angle is okay as

680
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,760
long as you're careful and gentle

681
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:53,760
as long as you don't cross thread the screw what did you guys think i was talking about

682
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,960
okay one two three

683
00:48:59,359 --> 00:49:05,040
and four there we go

684
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:08,240
so we have a slightly better cooler in there now it's

685
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:12,800
still a stock cooler still nothing special about it but at least it should

686
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:16,000
work at stock speeds without sort of running too hot or

687
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,079
anything like that so we're going to fire this bad boy up back up once i've

688
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:23,440
closed it up again and take a baseline reading of the

689
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:27,440
temperatures and the BIOS again to make sure that it's running all right

690
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:30,400
okay so our CPU is still running a little bit on the

691
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:35,200
toasty side but the funny thing is it was showing up as lower in real temp

692
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:39,040
than it is in the BIOS here so maybe it's some weird rog feature i've

693
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:43,839
never heard of either way i'm going to just kind of go for gold here and we're

694
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:48,720
going to go use CPU level up which is ASUS super simple overclocking utility

695
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:53,680
thing and we're going to go for 4.25 gigahertz just to see what happens so

696
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:57,440
wish us luck with that and as long as as long as she's stable and doesn't exceed

697
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:02,240
the maximum power we can draw from the wall which is going to be around 600

698
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:04,400
watts because we're looking at about 90

699
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:08,880
efficiency on this power supply then uh we should be okay let's see if

700
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:15,280
it even like boots now fans ramping up we set it to turbo mode

701
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,280
for the automatic fan speed control

702
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:24,160
save at the os all right so we're finally done the rig

703
00:50:21,359 --> 00:50:28,079
upgrade overclocking was a complete no-go so we're trying to figure out how

704
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:32,559
to liquid cool this thing at some point here uh that stock cooler no just

705
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:39,520
no just know we might be able to turn clock speed up a little bit but we're not able to use any of uh ASUS's CPU

706
00:50:36,559 --> 00:50:44,240
level up stuff so now to make sure that it can handle fully loading all the

707
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:48,640
components inside we're running prime95 in place whatever it is the one that

708
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:53,680
does a lot of CPU and some memory so we're sitting at around 320 watts at the

709
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:58,640
wall now we're going to run the arion bench 64

710
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:04,000
to load up both of our graphics cards with a cuda benchmark here to find out

711
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:06,800
what our absolute max power consumption is going to be with this system

712
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,040
so there you have it guys i knew it was

713
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:15,280
going to be borderline uh this isn't the first time we've run this so that 504

714
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:19,520
watts we're seeing right now is not quite the peak the highest i saw was

715
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:25,040
around 560 watts which means when you factor in that the power supply is

716
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:27,680
probably only around 83 to 88

717
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:31,920
efficient at this kind of a load uh means that we are actually nowhere near

718
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:36,079
the maximum load of the power supply with that said you should allow for a

719
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:40,400
power supply to age a little bit and become less

720
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:44,000
efficient and less capable over time but particularly with very high quality

721
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:47,680
units it's a much less of an issue so a dark power pro should be just fine for

722
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:50,800
that so we're calling that good on the power supply side we got to figure out

723
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:54,640
better CPU cooling at some point but other than that

724
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:57,280
the new workstation is ready to rock so don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech
