00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.640
hotspot shield service makes your internet browsing safer more secure and

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.160
fully private click now to learn more so our main video editor is actually

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:14.639
getting a new editing machine so it's

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.800
more of a frankenstein together of some existing things and

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

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.680
what's a very strange rig so for people who are sitting there

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:30.080
thinking oh well this will be the optimal video editing workstation no no

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.920
no this is not necessarily what we're going for here his machine is built for

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.000
a very specific usage model which is what he exactly does and that's that's

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.520
pretty much it so i'm going to run through a quick parts list here

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:47.200
starting off with an Intel core i7 3960x

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.120
this is where the whole this isn't necessarily stuff i would

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:55.600
recommend thing comes into play because normally for a video editing workstation

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:59.680
i'd probably recommend a 3930k as opposed to a 3960x because extreme

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:05.360
editions don't really offer a great price to performance ratio we're going

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.000
to have 32 gigs of kingston value RAM

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:12.479
ddr3 1600 absolutely nothing special just because it happens to be validated

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:16.320
for the board that's more important to us than necessarily squeezing an extra

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

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.439
be using an ASUS rampage for jean

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.200
motherboard okay it's not a workstation board

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.799
however it should be noted that even ASUS's gaming or channel boards go

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.840
through very a significant amount of validation

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.280
in terms of sort of weird obscure card operation and stuff like that and he'll

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.840
be running a 10 gigabit nick also it should be noted that rog boards have

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:46.479
very high end vrm solutions we're going to be building this inside a small

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

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.840
as efficiently as possible and in addition to that basically it's just uh

00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:58.960
as sweet as it gets in terms of micro

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.000
atx lga 2011 motherboards because we want

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.560
more cores we're running six cores in this machine six cores twelve threads

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.800
because we need wicked CPU performance with that said we also need wicked GPU

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.640
performance we need lots of pci express slots so we're going to have two

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

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

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.920
for all the cuda acceleration as well as

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.440
getting 10 bit color depth capabilities however we are going to be changing that

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

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.680
at this point so it's kind of gotta go

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:48.480
which means that we still want it for the better color depth output but we

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:53.360
need something a little bit beefier when it comes to cuda acceleration and that's

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

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.440
throwing in the GeForce gtx 780 wind force from Gigabyte

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.640
this should be able to stay cooled adequately because of its massive cooler

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

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:15.200
acceleration performance for applications like davinci resolve or

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:21.519
outputting using the built-in h.264 encoding

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.840
feature in kepler um diesel found a what

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

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

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

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

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.879
pro 550 watt uh we're going to find out

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.720
if that ends up sort of reaching the max or not once we finish

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

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.879
with a dark power power supply because they're very very quiet and one of the

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:59.040
things that happens a lot of the time with particularly diesel's rig because

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

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:08.879
runs really really loud so i'm hoping this will help a little bit although

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

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:16.799
something low profile and this is again part of the ghetto-ness of this rig in

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

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

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:32.160
low profile like honestly this could probably go in like a 1u almost no

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

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:41.840
compatible and capable of dissipating the massive amount of heat that these

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.040
chips output however i don't think we'll be doing any overclocking with a heat

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.000
sink this size um so there you go i guess we'll we'll find

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.639
out what happens we might end up swapping this out as well but if their

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:59.040
marketing claims are accurate then we may end up using it anyway i think

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:03.280
that's most of the components oh yeah we're using a crucial m4 SSD just

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.479
because they're reliable we trust them it's not the best performing SSD on the

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.520
market by any stretch but we're not really doing anything performance sensitive with it

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.840
we've got a velociraptor one terabyte that's going to go in there that just

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:18.080
acts as a random scratch disc or sort of

00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:22.960
temporary storage but mostly we're going to be storing

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:29.280
things off of the machine itself on our 10 gigabit capable nas server so that's

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.639
why we need that 10 gigabit nic card so

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:37.520
that means we've got a single slot quadro a 10 gigabit single slot nic as

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.360
well as a dual slot gtx 780 all in this

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:43.600
machine now i ended up with a silverstone sg01 i was actually going to

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

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

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.240
reader because as you can imagine doing video production reading off of memory

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

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:04.319
few people i've ever met who actually tunes his fans according to what he's

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:07.360
doing so i'll set that up for him as well

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.199
and i think that pretty much wraps it up so here we go

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:16.000
so the first step for me is usually CPU installation it should be noted that lga

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:21.440
2011 cpus never come with a stock heatsink i believe you can actually buy

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:24.080
an Intel oem heatsink although the cost

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:28.880
of it and the performance of it makes like basically don't buy it please

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:34.240
yeah it makes no sense whatsoever just get a nice aftermarket one or

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

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.919
2011 chip is quite large but installs in much the same way that you would have

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

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.479
there's a little golden triangle on that corner of the CPU right there

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:54.400
and then there's a corresponding triangle on the socket itself now it is

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:58.319
a little bit different in that it has two retention arms so you lift up the

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

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

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

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:18.000
out the entire hold down plate position the CPU inside the socket

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:22.080
okay make sure it's in there then put this down put them back down in

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:27.360
the order that they were originally removed in and remove the cover i only

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.720
recommend removing the cover once you are done

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

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

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:45.120
and the dyes under the heat spreader are

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:52.080
larger than the lga lga 1155 1156 or 1150 cpus now here goes

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

00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:01.280
all brand new it's still never a bad idea to clean things off with alcohol

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:04.879
but we're not gonna worry too much about that in this case

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:08.240
for mounting hardware at least this uh this cooler has an extremely

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:12.800
straightforward mounting system this is one of the things i like about lga 2011

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:16.319
it's uh it's got a back plate built in which means that

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:21.520
many coolers are just a matter of aligning the lga 2011 screw with the

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:25.199
built-in back plate and screwing them in you can see the springs on there are

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

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:34.399
the way to the end of the stopper tightening in a cross pattern not

00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:39.200
tightening any of the screws fully until you are

00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:43.839
until you have all of them mostly tight so here we go

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

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

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.640
put these under the little

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.839
oh hold on did i do that right

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:04.720
oh boy okay this is this is pretty finicky uh

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.880
after careful consultation of the manual we realized we had the fan upside down

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:12.959
so we flipped it around installed everything completely the opposite way

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:15.680
and now it makes an awful lot more sense we should also

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

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:22.399
install the little rubber strips that are included so those should keep some

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:27.760
of the vibrations from the fans from being passed to the heatsink itself

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:33.279
so there we go and by fans i mean fan there's only one singular

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:39.120
grammar is important even though the world today doesn't seem

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:39.120
to think so i really am getting old

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:44.560
just go ahead and hook those on so it should be noted that many heat sinks

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:49.120
have this whole feature where there's a groove here that you can hook the wire

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:52.480
clip into however most of them have some leeway and flexibility in terms of where

00:09:50.959 --> 00:09:56.560
you can hook them onto not this heat sink so these ones are straight these

00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:01.839
ones are grooved the wire only goes where the wire goes and that is it

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

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:09.519
doesn't get in the way of anything before plugging it into the fan header

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

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:17.839
because he was just editing on it so the CPU sockets right under there quite

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.000
toasty this was serving us perfectly well

00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:27.200
except that limited expansion so there's that quadro

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:32.480
there's that 10 gigabit nick how do we add something that augments the cuda

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:36.240
capabilities of the system well we can't because it only has the two expansion

00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:41.120
slots so that's really the only reason why we're changing this out

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

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:51.440
RAM right now more than anything else and slick took my screwdriver

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:56.560
so i can only take out thumb screws at the moment you're almost done

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

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

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

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:16.000
it's 10 bit i thought it was 8 bit

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

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

00:11:22.880 --> 00:11:29.600
these out there's that 10 gigabit nick that gives him pretty much

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:37.680
un bottlenecked access to our raid array

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.040
oh man this thing's hot holy cow

00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:45.360
ow it says right on it it's hot don't touch

00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:45.360
it so now we know

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

00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:55.200
seem like it i am grounding myself before i touch sensitive components so

00:11:53.680 --> 00:12:00.800
you'll usually ground yourself on chassis or power supply or some large piece of

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.600
metal is usually adequate if you were going to do things properly you'd want

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

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:13.519
so here's our quad channel kingston value RAM memory i really don't

00:12:12.079 --> 00:12:17.680
on our internal machines here we can install this in the rampage i really

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:22.000
don't believe in spending a ton of money on fancy memory because i have not

00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:24.959
observed a huge performance difference however there are environments where you

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:28.639
will see better performance from better memory

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:32.800
ecc would probably be a recommended upgrade for this machine

00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:36.560
or well for a rendering workstation i don't know that the rampage board

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:40.480
supports ecc memory but ecc memory wouldn't be a bad idea for long renders

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:44.639
where you don't want any errors you know causing it to stop working

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.480
you know if you're running a lot of virtualized

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:53.160
if you're doing a lot of virtualization faster memory can definitely benefit you

00:12:53.360 --> 00:13:00.160
but i mean for most of these workloads more memory is still kind of king

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.760
more than anything else so here are the drives i just had dummy ones before that

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

00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:13.120
inherited by b-roll so we're going to find some lesser RAM and

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

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:23.200
networking haha b-roll now he's got his headphones

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:26.639
on he can't hear me so this case is really uh

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:32.240
very frankenstein it's been used a lot of times for a lot

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:36.959
of different builds and uh i don't have half of the screws so it's

00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:42.399
just like random screws that are just jammed into places but i always end up

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:47.279
back with this case because it's extremely versatile it fits long

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:50.720
graphics cards they're reasonably long graphics cards i hope all the graphics

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

00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:58.959
later on down the line so we'll pull up the win force card i

00:13:56.959 --> 00:14:04.160
don't know that i would have necessarily chosen a wind force card for this

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:06.399
particular rig if if given a choice but

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

00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:16.320
go buy another one separately oh wow yeah that isn't even close so we're

00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:19.279
gonna have to pull out the drive cages i guess

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:23.120
in order to have that card fit what i would i normally probably would have

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.160
rather done well there's intakes on the side but i

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:30.959
would have rather gone with a blower style cooler that exhausts everything out of the case

00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:35.279
but you know we make do with what you have i guess

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:36.880
you know if we have to use that gtx 780

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:40.399
then we can but usually i recommend wind force cards

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

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:48.240
the front firewire cable still so i had disconnected that during a previous

00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:54.320
build and for that matter i don't need the front audio either because the five

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:57.440
and a quarter inch bay here this is what often irks me about these things is

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

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:06.639
doesn't have front audio and what motherboard has you know two hookups for

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

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:14.480
esata's fine but stuff where it's like a

00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:17.199
hundred percent going to replicate something that your case already had

00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:20.480
just kind of kind of irks me so anyway we don't need

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

00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:28.880
and the front um

00:15:26.079 --> 00:15:33.120
sort of power reset all that good stuff so the next stage now that we've

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:39.519
stripped everything out of the case is probably to install the i o shield

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:42.079
so just get all four sides just like that

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

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:51.120
moving them around or anything like that microatx is quite a bit more

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:55.279
well more standard than atx in terms of where the standoffs go some atx boards

00:15:52.959 --> 00:15:59.120
particularly a few years ago had you know standoffs missing or standoffs

00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:02.320
added compared to other ones so you had to be a little bit careful

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

00:16:05.199 --> 00:16:10.240
don't need one it's actually a lot less important

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:15.920
to have all the standoffs installed versus not having any extras installed

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.480
extras are really really terrible

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

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:27.759
this you guys are going to see why i needed to have a low profile CPU

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

00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.560
which i have misplaced there it is there's not going to be a

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:39.279
lot of space once we have our power supply installed

00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:44.079
under there so even the even that stock lga 2011

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:48.160
cooler i don't think is going to fit in this config

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:51.519
so now we screw in the motherboard i don't remember which uh which type of

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:56.639
screws it uses so the trick that i usually use

00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:00.880
is start with a small one so those are the ones that are threaded

00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:05.120
for optical drives often motherboard standoffs and then if

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

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:12.480
that are threaded for hard drives for example so we'll go with

00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:20.000
this guy and you can see that that is indeed holding so it looks like this

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:23.679
motherboard uses the smaller threads or this case uses smaller threads

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:28.000
so i'm trying to figure out how to get the drives in here um

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

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:35.280
few different options so i can either just like bolt the volt i mean the SSD

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

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

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:47.520
stable mount so i was thinking what i could do is i could grab some silicone

00:17:45.360 --> 00:17:51.520
isolators that i salvaged from another case and maybe just mounted in the

00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:54.559
bottom here by drilling some holes through the bottom of the case

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

00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:02.000
similar fashion in fact i think

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:06.320
that might actually work best because then i could just take the SSD

00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:09.679
and this one chuck them in there

00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:14.000
and hopefully i would actually still even be it yeah i

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

00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:20.799
thing if i run all these through here man

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

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:30.160
power supply what is that oh

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:32.960
apparently i owe diesel like 500 because

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:36.559
my camera broke his lenses or something so he's

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:40.559
quietly sneaking that onto my desk before he goes

00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:45.039
it's like awesome all right so there we go yep it looks

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.640
like i'm going to be able to fit all that stuff in there

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:51.679
without too much trouble i really don't like how little room there is for air

00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:58.240
flow around that velociraptor though so i still might opt to put it down here this

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

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:06.320
multi-uh multi-function front panel thing actually comes with

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:12.880
its own self-tapping like plastic screws

00:19:09.760 --> 00:19:15.120
that go into some special

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:19.120
holes that are just plastic and are not threaded at all

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:21.280
it apparently uses a little tiny phillips head bit so i'm going to have

00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:26.559
to grab a different bit unbelievable

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:30.320
sometimes you just encounter like the weirdest stuff that just has no right to

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

00:19:33.600 --> 00:19:38.960
own personal use or for internal use here at Linus media group

00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:42.080
it's very rare that you'll catch me putting all the screws in especially for

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.919
things like you know a front panel card reader

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:51.679
two screws is fine you know you don't have to

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

00:19:53.919 --> 00:20:00.080
unless it's something where there's like a you know a safety reason or a

00:19:57.600 --> 00:20:04.799
reliability reason that it needs to be attached incredibly well so i'll just

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:07.440
put in on the corners although it could be argued that i should probably put in

00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:12.240
all four of these because they're like these weird special custom screws that

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

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

00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:23.280
i'll at least put them in a little bit so that they'll stay there

00:20:21.280 --> 00:20:27.200
and not come out um i do have some new ideas for how to

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

00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:36.799
so i grabbed some uh some screws so these are hard drive

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

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:45.200
you guys can see that at all but whatever anyway and some uh silicone or

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

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

00:20:51.760 --> 00:21:00.000
amount of front panel i o stuff connected so hd audio goes into the aafp

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

00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:09.360
great onboard audio solution so when he's um working on audio

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:13.679
stuff which evidently he does apparently some point in time um

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

00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:21.120
unusable i mean a lot of the time the issue with onboard audio solutions is

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.520
less to do with even that the quality is terrible which it usually is but often

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:28.640
more to do with that the drivers are terrible and i would have higher

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:33.520
expectations than that from something like an rog

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.960
supreme fx3 audio solution so there you go that's one of the reasons to justify

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

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

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.159
um we want the utmost in terms of

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:51.760
reliability i could kind of considered overclocking it and so that was that was

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

00:21:55.600 --> 00:22:00.799
going to expect to get better overclocking headroom out of out of a

00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:04.799
better board with the consumer grade platforms it's less less of a factor

00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:07.919
from what i've seen in the last couple gens

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

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:16.159
all the front panel stuff so that was my front panel connectors they're labeled

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:19.440
on the board i mean those little things high-end boards those convenient

00:22:17.760 --> 00:22:24.480
creature and comfort features that you don't really get on the low end stuff

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:28.640
where normally you'd have to go look in the manual or something like that

00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:33.600
because of the unique configuration with our five and a quarter inch bay device

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

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

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

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

00:22:47.600 --> 00:22:54.320
oh how disappointing i miscounted the uh

00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:58.559
the number of front usb plug-in devices that i had versus headers so actually

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

00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:06.159
usb connection that it needs

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:10.000
that's a shame and it comes on its own full block here even though actually

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:13.520
only four of the pins are populated so it could have in theory supported at

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:17.520
least one more port but oh well cable management here is going

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

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:28.159
installed somehow i usually cut these off these days these this is the old

00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:31.600
ac97 um

00:23:29.280 --> 00:23:34.559
onboard audio pins or wires or whatever you want to call them so

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

00:23:36.159 --> 00:23:41.200
install like

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:44.559
on like a pentium 3 computer or something and just you can just cut them

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

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:52.640
going to short out on each other or anything like that so this gives us a

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:56.320
lot less room for

00:23:54.480 --> 00:24:00.080
that brilliant hard drive mounting strategy that i'd come up with

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

00:24:03.679 --> 00:24:12.320
and we can actually manage them up here off of off of sort of ground level

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

00:24:13.760 --> 00:24:19.120
everything over here we should still have space for that long card which i've

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:23.600
decided is going to go in the third pci express slot so that's

00:24:21.520 --> 00:24:29.279
a full 16x slot so full bandwidth yeah yeah

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:35.440
and there we go so we should have room for

00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:37.279
that and the quadro should fit just fine

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:41.120
where there's a little bit less room so that one will go right there

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:45.039
like that yep should be just dandy okay so here i'm

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:49.039
eyeballing approximately where on the bottom i want to drill the holes for the

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

00:24:51.520 --> 00:24:57.200
did is i marked approximately where i want one of them to go with sort of

00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.320
landmarks of junk that goes through and just making sure that things like

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

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

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.400
don't recommend drilling holes in a system with components already installed

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

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

00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:24.159
all over the place orient it so that they fall away from the components and

00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:29.120
all that but really please don't do that in general all right so hopefully these

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:33.400
are approximately right i hope yeah i still have audio here we go

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.600
oh i went through the mother no i'm just kidding all right next hole

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.080
okay number two and i was only able to put in three

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

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:23.120
okay no idea if these are going to align or

00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:29.200
not but the only way to find out for certain

00:26:25.679 --> 00:26:29.200
is to measure before you i mean

00:26:29.919 --> 00:26:37.720
just try things all right

00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:37.720
here we go

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:45.679
where are the holes where do they go

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:49.360
there's one sort of it's hard to see here

00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:56.320
oh wait wait for it no

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:56.320
no that's not a hole

00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:04.960
that's interesting ah yes i see the problem now right i moved it

00:27:03.120 --> 00:27:08.559
further down because i didn't want to interfere with the SATA ports other than

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

00:27:11.840 --> 00:27:16.799
plugging things into the hard drive that the hard drive would prevent from

00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.600
operating correctly all right so

00:27:19.679 --> 00:27:25.360
there's one of them so one of them definitely lined up with

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.360
something

00:27:29.760 --> 00:27:36.080
all right so the idea being that

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

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:44.799
not big enough to put these through without the threading unfortunately

00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:50.320
which means that i might have to go back to the uh

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:51.840
back to my own house to get my own kit

00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:55.840
to do that okay well we'll continue this when we're

00:27:53.520 --> 00:28:00.000
ready oh look at that that one almost lines up

00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:04.480
so that should be good enough for our purposes here so i did wuss out and

00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:09.600
remove the motherboard so yeah the mess of all the filings around

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.480
here is less of an issue i was able to find another wider bit

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

00:28:17.520 --> 00:28:22.880
is screws through here

00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:26.880
okay i've only got three still just because

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

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

00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:36.720
bit of a balancing act here

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:42.640
i've gone ahead and put the board back in off camera now

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:47.679
so that's done oh wow yeah because all of

00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:50.960
these have to go on i hope you guys can see this

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

00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:58.880
same time which isn't going to be easy

00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.640
it's okay these are the challenges that make pc building fun

00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:05.600
as opposed to you know just buying things that all work together in the

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.960
first place yeah that's for noobs

00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:12.240
or something no actually this just makes it more

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:17.559
stressful but whatever all right so we're going to go ahead and put that

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.559
drive on there now

00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:46.159
wow it worked okay i don't need to mush the crap out

00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:50.000
of those isolators just got to make sure that it's reasonably firmly mounted

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:57.760
and there we have it the hard drive

00:29:55.360 --> 00:30:02.960
is now mounted actually pretty darn securely i don't have as much clearance

00:29:59.919 --> 00:30:05.200
over on this side if i as i had hoped

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

00:30:07.520 --> 00:30:13.039
the SATA port and then we'll figure out power can't be that complicated

00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:18.799
and there you have it all right so i did manage to get

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:22.720
just regular straight SATA connectors in there although it's extremely tight so

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:26.880
we'll add this to the long list of things i wouldn't recommend doing about

00:30:24.320 --> 00:30:31.120
this build i got my industrial strength velcro

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

00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:40.399
five and a quarter inch bay i mean the whole the whole you know notion of

00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:45.520
drives must go where the manufacturer says they should go to me that really uh

00:30:43.520 --> 00:30:50.640
that really that really bothers me drive should go wherever is most convenient

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

00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:57.600
drive so that'll give me the option to add an optical drive later should i

00:30:56.080 --> 00:31:02.640
should i choose to um by doing this this way so i'm adding

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

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

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:16.799
that separates it enough from that velociraptor that i don't have to worry

00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:20.399
about heat or anything like that because i had

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

00:31:23.919 --> 00:31:30.320
want the SSD to have its lifespan affected by its

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:35.039
neighbor like i do can you guys believe i have to

00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:39.360
sit like right across from diesel my desk here at work right across from

00:31:37.120 --> 00:31:42.880
him i mean the music he listens to he listens to bieber

00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:47.200
so for all those of you who think he's cool

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:50.720
now i guess that is pretty cool oh wait

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

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

00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:09.600
i said no no no see now you've got that song stuck in my

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:15.200
head wow this uh this case is uh

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

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:22.240
isn't even right anymore that's the thing about aluminum cases is they often

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:27.600
uh they often bend in pretty spectacular ways

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

00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:36.960
installed in PCIe 4x slots you might get

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:40.799
slightly less overall bandwidth available to the card i don't remember

00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:46.559
on these 10 gigabit cards whether they actually needed all of the available

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:50.799
bandwidth i think each PCIe

00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:52.159
2x lane or PCIe 2.0 lane is around 250

00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:55.679
megabytes per second so we should be pretty close to all that it can consume

00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.120
actually but there you go if i ideally i would

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

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:09.919
a kind of a unique fan arrangement here which i actually had turned around

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

00:33:11.679 --> 00:33:17.600
back in the default configuration so i can bring nice fresh air down to

00:33:15.840 --> 00:33:21.919
particularly these ones there's vents in the side the wind force can take

00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:25.760
advantage of but particularly these ones i want this fan to get nice fresh air

00:33:24.159 --> 00:33:34.080
and i want this heatsink to get some incidental cooling as well so

00:33:30.399 --> 00:33:35.600
last but not least the windforce gtx 780

00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:38.640
for cuda i can see diesel

00:33:37.120 --> 00:33:43.679
drooling over there about the fast output times

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:48.720
you're not drooling are you it's okay because i can't see you either

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.399
so everything i said was a lie

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:54.000
everything i said was a lie

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:58.720
except the part about installing this graphics card there we go so one screw i

00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.960
actually only had three screws in there so i'm just gonna find another random

00:34:00.159 --> 00:34:05.200
one there we go and let's put that in there

00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:12.399
all right so that my friends is one

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:16.720
monkey jam-packed card configuration

00:34:14.879 --> 00:34:19.760
love it all right so i turned the fans around

00:34:18.399 --> 00:34:22.960
you can see right here is where the power supply sits on the other side so

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

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:31.839
fans there's no actual structural integrity of the case that's

00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:35.679
being taken care of i'm pretty sure this isn't

00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:38.480
how you're supposed to put it in but yeah

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

00:34:39.919 --> 00:34:46.639
supposed to put it in now this bracket uses those weird countersunk screws that

00:34:44.720 --> 00:34:50.079
only silverstone and like some other sort of weird

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

00:34:52.560 --> 00:34:58.240
this in as best as i can without having to use too many of them

00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:05.040
if you don't use the countersunk ones though then the

00:35:00.839 --> 00:35:07.280
uh the case cover doesn't sit right so

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

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:16.640
work i'll try this one so that's pretty low profile

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

00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:25.599
somewhere to tuck these this is a uh this is a working machine

00:35:23.359 --> 00:35:29.200
not a show machine so cable management is a bit of a secondary

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

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:38.240
it and stuff like this so there we go yeah we've got nice

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:42.320
unrestricted airflow from our intakes to our graphics cards

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:47.040
and it's pretty much time to get the power supply in here now with these

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:51.119
smaller form factor systems i often find it's easier to install the modular

00:35:49.520 --> 00:35:56.240
cables first and then actually install the power

00:35:54.240 --> 00:36:00.880
supply so i'm going to start with i really wish these would stay under that

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

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

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

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:17.280
wow this 780 takes two eight pins do they all do that

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

00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:28.079
then over here because once we've got the power supply

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

00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:37.920
so just get it all done now

00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:42.160
make life easy for ourselves i mean as easy as it can be when you're

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.960
just making your own drive mounts as you go and uh

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:51.680
sort of playing by no one's rules except your own

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.680
not even your own

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:57.119
all right i think there's that yeah so this powerful this is one of the

00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:01.520
things i like about be quiet! power supplies is they tend to come with sort

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

00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:08.560
dual PCIe and a single PCIe on a 550

00:37:07.359 --> 00:37:13.040
watt power supply i think the manufacturer's expectation is that

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

00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.720
i mean they give you the modular connections on the power supply for it

00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.880
so you know they asked for it i guess

00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:26.560
my expectation for a dark power power supply is also that it's going to be

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

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

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:40.800
cable this is where those short cable kits that guys like silverstone sell

00:37:38.720 --> 00:37:44.160
come in handy because this is an awfully long cable and the only real way to

00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:48.400
cable management is going to be to chuck it back here or something

00:37:46.560 --> 00:37:52.160
or potentially actually we could throw it over here with all these other cables

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:55.839
near the hard drive that'll probably work

00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.960
but it if we were relying on any airflow from

00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:02.160
the front of the case which this case doesn't have then this isn't really

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

00:38:05.040 --> 00:38:11.440
24 pin connector is pre-attached to the power supply so we're pretty much ready

00:38:08.640 --> 00:38:15.440
to put the power supply in and find out if this system

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:20.079
works at all i think it comes with its own special

00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:22.800
screws so i'll find those and

00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:26.880
right at exactly the moment where i had found some other thumb screws that also

00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:31.760
had nice long threads on them diesel found the be quiet! thumb screws that

00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:34.480
have even longer threads so that you can really

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:38.480
you know put them on there and get that power supply installed i like the noise

00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:42.720
isolating strip i wish that it didn't reduce compatibility with other screws

00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:46.960
but you know sometimes that's the sacrifice you have

00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:50.800
to make so there you go so those are installed

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:54.640
which brings us back to the inside wow this is starting to get heavy with those

00:38:52.640 --> 00:38:59.280
graphics cards in there so that brings us to the inside so we're

00:38:57.200 --> 00:39:02.960
going to tuck our 24 pin actually no we're going to plug in the modular

00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:08.320
cables that we have here first so i'll try and get you guys a decent

00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:10.800
view of that so pci express we have four

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:14.160
different pci express plug options here

00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:17.839
again the thing with the whole like options on the be quiet! power supplies

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:22.880
that i uh that i quite like next we've got one for drives

00:39:21.200 --> 00:39:28.960
all right oh actually let's do oh cool it has fan

00:39:26.240 --> 00:39:32.480
plugs too so we could actually we're using manual fan control in the front of

00:39:30.560 --> 00:39:37.520
the case but if we weren't using that then we can have the power supply

00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:42.079
control our fans which is kind of neat

00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:46.400
actually all right so the CPU connector goes over here most modular power

00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:49.920
supplies these days use the same plugs for the

00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:54.079
p4 connector or p8 connector or whatever you want to call it and pci express but

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

00:39:56.160 --> 00:40:02.320
way that the rails are distributed because it is not a single rail power

00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:06.560
supply it is a multi-rail power supply so we've got that

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

00:40:08.160 --> 00:40:13.200
until we wanted to install a five and a quarter inch drive maybe at some point

00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:16.800
in the future and then what i'm going to do this is

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

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

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

00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:36.560
a little bit better i should have plugged this in just like

00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:40.079
i did with all the other cables first before i actually installed the power

00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:43.920
supply fully because the cable's so long i could have gotten away with that

00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:48.880
even though it's pre-attached this is one of the reasons why full modular can

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

00:40:50.720 --> 00:40:56.880
up your system before you actually have

00:40:54.160 --> 00:41:00.800
to put the power supply in it or if your rma in your system or your

00:40:58.720 --> 00:41:05.200
power supply for example it can be a great way to not have to actually rewire

00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:08.400
anything when the new one arrives back which is neat as well

00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:12.319
i'm having a little bit of difficulty here yep

00:41:10.560 --> 00:41:16.560
having some difficulty a little trick guys if you plug the four pin in first

00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:22.079
then the 20 pin will often sit on top of it and lock it

00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:23.599
into place depending on how the cable is

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

00:41:26.160 --> 00:41:31.200
the last thing we need is it would be just like be quiet! to

00:41:29.839 --> 00:41:36.800
include something like this but i need like a single molex

00:41:34.319 --> 00:41:41.680
oh they got a single SATA all right so i was close

00:41:38.560 --> 00:41:43.680
and a single molex look at that i love

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

00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:51.599
dual SATA connector for the drives down there

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

00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:59.760
so that's going to go into drives number five and then my other my molex

00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:03.920
connector is going to go into drives number four and i'll be using that to

00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.359
power my front panel five and a quarter inch bay device which

00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:10.480
is going to power my fans and my built-in card reader

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

00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:17.440
the SATA connector for the esata in the front panel

00:42:16.640 --> 00:42:22.079
so all the i o options will be had with

00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:24.720
this particular machine very cool

00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:31.200
there we go not the greatest cable management i've ever done but lots of

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:34.000
clearance around the CPU cooler which hopefully works otherwise we're gonna

00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:37.520
have to pull the power supply out and swap that out for something a little bit

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:40.640
taller perhaps and uh

00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:44.480
hopefully ample cooling for those graphics cards and hopefully enough

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

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

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

00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:02.960
pax so

00:43:01.680 --> 00:43:09.599
yeah if there's any kind of hardware conflicts or anything like that oh we've

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:12.720
got an rog logo that's a good sign

00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:15.200
uh there's our 10 gigabit nick so that's

00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:15.200
detected

00:43:18.319 --> 00:43:21.280
fan control

00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:29.119
seems to be working all right so we've got that going here

00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:36.319
new CPU installed press f1 to run setup 32 gigs of RAM

00:43:34.720 --> 00:43:39.440
both of our hard drives are detected this is all looking

00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:42.960
pretty uh pretty solid so far

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

00:43:46.720 --> 00:43:55.119
is something i really recommend doing right oh that CPU is at that 57 degrees

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

00:43:57.680 --> 00:44:01.359
at 57 degrees

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:10.160
that i'm not happy about i wonder if there's anything we could do

00:44:08.720 --> 00:44:15.440
fan wise to uh to be a bit more aggressive although

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:19.359
often a very high idle temperature actually indicates a bad amount so we

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

00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:27.520
if that alleviates the problem well let's find out if

00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:31.920
she'll boot either way i mean 60 degrees is hot but it's not um

00:44:29.839 --> 00:44:37.800
it's not it'll break immediately if we go into an os hot so

00:44:34.160 --> 00:44:37.800
oh that's a shame

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

00:44:41.520 --> 00:44:48.240
want we're pretty much done here i was just thinking uh because diesel and i

00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:53.280
were having a conversation about the irony of amy winehouse making a hit song

00:44:51.680 --> 00:44:57.599
this is actually his observation not mine i can't take credit for this or

00:44:54.720 --> 00:45:00.800
blame or whichever making a hit song about not going to

00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:04.720
rehab and then dying of drug related complications and

00:45:03.200 --> 00:45:07.440
i was actually thinking so this is my contribution to the to the discussion

00:45:06.720 --> 00:45:11.839
that the the name irony should actually be

00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:17.920
different because irony has iron in it which rusts

00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.960
and deteriorates over time but irony i believe will be just as delicious a

00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:25.920
thousand years from now as it was a thousand years ago

00:45:23.680 --> 00:45:29.200
when dinosaurs and their hubris okay i think we're done

00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:32.880
now so rendering oh okay we gotta wait well

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

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:40.880
that's great the upgrade worked we just got to diagnose our CPU

00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:46.560
uh oh yeah and we've got to find out about power consumption as well

00:45:43.040 --> 00:45:48.240
so we're sitting at 160 watts idle

00:45:46.560 --> 00:45:50.800
right now so

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

00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:02.000
still important and ps2 ports are still important because they don't require any

00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:05.440
drivers so we've booted up again and we're still not getting our keyboard and

00:46:03.520 --> 00:46:09.839
mouse drivers loaded now ps2 doesn't support hot uh hot swap on many

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

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:19.440
able to use the ps2 keyboard to at least navigate into the os

00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:24.400
where the drivers are more likely to be picked up and installed

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

00:46:26.240 --> 00:46:32.240
because it doesn't really seem to be behaving like one but there's only one

00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:36.079
way to know for sure what i did determine is that there is enough room

00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:40.319
in here for the stock cooler that we happen to have one

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

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

00:46:47.680 --> 00:46:54.000
not quite up to the task of an extreme edition

00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:56.720
on lga 2011 here now i think i have some

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

00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:03.599
to get that stock cooler in without removing this

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

00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:17.200
you gotta work with what you got yeah see that that's a perfectly fine thermal

00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:22.240
paste application there so i really don't think that was the

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

00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:31.200
goldilocks or whoever it was that uh

00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:35.359
it was goldilocks apparently okay well whatever man so i'm gonna

00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:38.560
you know speaking of perfect thermal paste applications i'm gonna commit a

00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:43.440
sin here and i'm going to just kind of plunk this

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:49.520
on top of the old thermal paste once i can find something to

00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:51.680
wipe it off with do you have any teepee

00:47:49.520 --> 00:47:56.079
really i stole it

00:47:54.079 --> 00:48:00.880
uh i call rubbish on that you brought it downstairs

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

00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:09.760
i've at least cleaned off the base so we're going to go ahead and

00:48:07.200 --> 00:48:13.760
yeah i guess we'll install it first i really hope this fits

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

00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:21.319
come on come on come on gill

00:48:21.520 --> 00:48:27.359
oh i think we got this nice

00:48:24.720 --> 00:48:31.680
oh except that wire that's under the uh heatsink that'll be a problem

00:48:29.359 --> 00:48:35.760
at some point in the future here in like four minutes

00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:40.240
okay same thing cross pattern

00:48:38.319 --> 00:48:46.760
this side first remember going in at an angle is okay as

00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:46.760
long as you're careful and gentle

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

00:48:52.160 --> 00:48:56.960
okay one two three

00:48:59.359 --> 00:49:05.040
and four there we go

00:49:03.200 --> 00:49:08.240
so we have a slightly better cooler in there now it's

00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:12.800
still a stock cooler still nothing special about it but at least it should

00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:16.000
work at stock speeds without sort of running too hot or

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

00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:23.440
closed it up again and take a baseline reading of the

00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:27.440
temperatures and the BIOS again to make sure that it's running all right

00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:30.400
okay so our CPU is still running a little bit on the

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:35.200
toasty side but the funny thing is it was showing up as lower in real temp

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

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

00:49:41.520 --> 00:49:48.720
going to go use CPU level up which is ASUS super simple overclocking utility

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

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

00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:02.240
the maximum power we can draw from the wall which is going to be around 600

00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:04.400
watts because we're looking at about 90

00:50:02.240 --> 00:50:08.880
efficiency on this power supply then uh we should be okay let's see if

00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:15.280
it even like boots now fans ramping up we set it to turbo mode

00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:15.280
for the automatic fan speed control

00:50:16.640 --> 00:50:24.160
save at the os all right so we're finally done the rig

00:50:21.359 --> 00:50:28.079
upgrade overclocking was a complete no-go so we're trying to figure out how

00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:32.559
to liquid cool this thing at some point here uh that stock cooler no just

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

00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:44.240
level up stuff so now to make sure that it can handle fully loading all the

00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:48.640
components inside we're running prime95 in place whatever it is the one that

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

00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:58.640
wall now we're going to run the arion bench 64

00:50:55.680 --> 00:51:04.000
to load up both of our graphics cards with a cuda benchmark here to find out

00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:06.800
what our absolute max power consumption is going to be with this system

00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:11.040
so there you have it guys i knew it was

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

00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:19.520
watts we're seeing right now is not quite the peak the highest i saw was

00:51:17.040 --> 00:51:25.040
around 560 watts which means when you factor in that the power supply is

00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:27.680
probably only around 83 to 88

00:51:25.040 --> 00:51:31.920
efficient at this kind of a load uh means that we are actually nowhere near

00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:36.079
the maximum load of the power supply with that said you should allow for a

00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:40.400
power supply to age a little bit and become less

00:51:37.680 --> 00:51:44.000
efficient and less capable over time but particularly with very high quality

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

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

00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:54.640
better CPU cooling at some point but other than that

00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:57.280
the new workstation is ready to rock so don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech

00:51:56.079 --> 00:52:01.920

it i know this was a bit of a departure from our usual style and leave a comment

00:52:03.839 --> 00:52:10.900
let us know what you thought of this build

00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:21.340
guide sort of
