1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,120
well I've been making some changes to my rig and uh I mentioned it in one of my

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:10,080
other videos and someone asked me to do a blog post on what I'm actually

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:14,799
installing in here and what kind of changes I'm making so first of all I've

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:19,800
gone with an MSI Big Bang X power for my latest build it's a very solid board

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,199
comes with a very good accessory package and just all the features that I really

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,400
need lots of PCI Express slots I'm pretty much done with PCI personally so

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:33,960
that's uh that's one of the reasons I decided to go with this board and uh

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:39,920
Down Under that enzotech Luna water block I've got a 980x 6 core processor

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,960
that's 12 gigs of ocz special edition

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,840
see the blue and black color scheme which is just dead sexy on there and uh

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:53,960
so I'll be running that in the motherboard this is an MSI GeForce GTX

12
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:58,320
480 I've gone with a single card this time around although I usually do run

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,760
SLI and I may change it later on in the future to add an additional graphic card

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,840
I am using a modular power supply that's an enax Revolution 85 plus it's an 80

15
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:11,360
plus silver Power Supply so I will have the option to add more cables and add

16
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:18,159
another graphics card in the future should I desire it yes that is

17
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,600
a vision Tech killer

18
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,920
Nick it's got a feature I really like it's got that bandwidth allocation

19
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:29,000
feature which I find really cool I like their software overall I found that

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,880
having the killer neck in my computer is better than not having the killer Nick

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,200
in my computer so I went ahead and replaced my Intel Nick with it a while

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,439
back so let's move back and take an overall look at the PC this isn't a

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,680
Silverstone tj07 the only modifications I've really made to it are a couple

24
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:48,119
holes here and there and I have painted the interior with a black wrinkle I had

25
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:53,079
it done by Mountain mods a couple years ago at this point I guess I am using GED

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Wing fans up here in the visible parts of the build and then here in the front

27
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:02,520
GED Wings again but then where it's actually hidden I have the new

28
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Silverstone air penetrators which are running the main Thermo chill PA 120.4

29
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,720
radiator that does most of the cooling in this build

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,519
although there is a black ice 2 Pro here

31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,120
in the front but these fans actually only turn on if the system gets hot

32
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:24,440
which with a single graphics card in it is very unlikely for the liquid cooling

33
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:30,319
system to actually heat up uh speaking of the liquid cooling system here's an

34
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:32,200
EK gtx480 uh nickel plated Plexi block

35
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,920
so that's going to go on the 480 once I've finished doing some burn in and

36
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,760
testing on this system you can see the

37
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:43,200
back of the system I'm using noise dampening mounts for all of the fans

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,920
where that is a possibility this build is all about silence this liquid cooling

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:55,599
system is not for performance all of these fans will be run at much less than

40
00:02:52,519 --> 00:02:57,599
full Voltage at all times thanks to this

41
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,319
guy right here this is the brains of the operation so it's got a couple of

42
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:07,080
temperature sensors one of which gets uh attached to the side of my main radiator

43
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:11,400
and the other one sits around the uh here there it is right there sits in the

44
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:15,319
North Bridge so basically I use those as a reference points for how hot is my

45
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:19,799
liquid cooling system how hot are the air cooled components in my rig and then

46
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:25,360
I adjust the fan speeds in zones so these two and these two are actually

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,159
adjusted together and I use the 92s

48
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,280
first because at low RPM where I don't need a lot of cooling they're actually a

49
00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:34,159
little bit quieter than the 12 then the 120s kick in when things get

50
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:40,360
hot and the liquid cooling system actually runs with the fans off on the

51
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:42,480
front and right around like 30% fan

52
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:48,000
speed on the bottom ones until things start to get a little bit warm there's

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,720
that Amax Revolution yes I realize in an

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,560
Ideal World I would have this fan turned around but then I would have to uh use

55
00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,879
the other holes in my power supply Mount down here and then I'd like chip the

56
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,799
paint and really I have enough Radiator in this rig to cool a couple machines

57
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,680
like this so I'm not too worried about it there's the air penetrator fans I was

58
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:12,439
talking about these are going to be a great addition to this build I just

59
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:18,000
changed over to these I was using Y loons down here before because air

60
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:22,919
penetrators are designed to actually blow air in a column directly away from

61
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,639
the fan so what that means is once I close up this side panel and the mesh is

62
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:31,600
sitting here it should more in this is all in theory it should in theory more

63
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,000
effectively blow the air through and out the other side panel rather than just

64
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:39,400
kind of scattering it around in here and relying on random chants to blow out the

65
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,919
other side of the computer so that that is my

66
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:47,800
theory seems like a good theory uh here's some inverters for cold cathodes

67
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:53,400
here's where I mount my uh 2 and 1/2 in SSD drives so I'll just uh run all the

68
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:58,600
SATA cables here I use this hole right here to run some SATA power up there so

69
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,560
all the drives stay completely hidden out of the way I still have some stuff

70
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,160
to do so I still got to mount of pump and some kind of reservoir down here I

71
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,199
haven't decided how I'm going to do that because honestly it's a total nightmare

72
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:17,600
to mount uh one of these I've got a few MCR micros here here's a REV 2 here's a

73
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,319
REV one here's a really old rev one that

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,840
has like some kind of Gunk on the side of it then I've also got uh one of these

75
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:29,360
uh t- virus reses this one leaks though so and I haven't really found a place to

76
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:34,319
to put it where it would really work like it doesn't really fit here which is

77
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,400
ideally where I would want to put it so I think that one's pretty much out of

78
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:41,880
the question right now um yeah this is what the floor looks

79
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:46,160
like oh yeah I've been working on sleeving the revolution comes with just

80
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:50,440
horrendous looking sleeving on I me look at

81
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:54,639
this so I went ahead and replaced it with uh plain black sleeving that I

82
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:59,960
bought from cable organizer.com it's cheap it's fast things get done so uh

83
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,360
yeah that was why I went that root so you can see all the cables are now

84
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,440
sleeved black I've got the two eps8 pins up here I've got my six pins here my 24

85
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,160
pin I've still got to do some uh some SATA cables as well as a Molex cable

86
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:17,599
make sure I've got power everywhere oh yeah I've got one of those cool LG uh

87
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:20,599
Blu-ray slhd DVD drives I know no one

88
00:06:17,599 --> 00:06:22,639
cares about HD DVD anymore but if I ever

89
00:06:20,599 --> 00:06:27,120
happen to cross an HD DVD drive I could or disc I could play it so there you go

90
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:32,400
that's more than you can say oh yeah I replaced the uh the front of the case

91
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:38,319
the the front drive bay covers with antech 900 ones so now they are uh

92
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:43,800
perforated and you can run air through them which is good here in the front I

93
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:46,960
still have the stock USB fire wire audio

94
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,199
thing and I have UV lights yep black

95
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:53,240
lights here here two of them here one

96
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:56,960
more back here and that lights up the UV

97
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,080
Blue uh primoflex LRT tubing as well as

98
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,879
the UV sensitive GED Wing fans

99
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,919
and I used to have a DFI land party board so it lit that up as well but uh

100
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:12,759
there you go that is the build that I am working on and it's been sitting here

101
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,240
for wow like weeks I I wish it worked

102
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:18,720
cuz then I would have a computer again that would be great
