WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:10.080
other videos and someone asked me to do a blog post on what I'm actually

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

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

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.199
comes with a very good accessory package and just all the features that I really

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.400
need lots of PCI Express slots I'm pretty much done with PCI personally so

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

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:39.920
Down Under that enzotech Luna water block I've got a 980x 6 core processor

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.960
that's 12 gigs of ocz special edition

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.840
see the blue and black color scheme which is just dead sexy on there and uh

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:53.960
so I'll be running that in the motherboard this is an MSI GeForce GTX

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:58.320
480 I've gone with a single card this time around although I usually do run

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

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

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.360
plus silver Power Supply so I will have the option to add more cables and add

00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:18.159
another graphics card in the future should I desire it yes that is

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:20.600
a vision Tech killer

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.920
Nick it's got a feature I really like it's got that bandwidth allocation

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:29.000
feature which I find really cool I like their software overall I found that

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.880
having the killer neck in my computer is better than not having the killer Nick

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.200
in my computer so I went ahead and replaced my Intel Nick with it a while

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

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.680
Silverstone tj07 the only modifications I've really made to it are a couple

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:48.119
holes here and there and I have painted the interior with a black wrinkle I had

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

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

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:02.520
GED Wings again but then where it's actually hidden I have the new

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.160
Silverstone air penetrators which are running the main Thermo chill PA 120.4

00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:12.720
radiator that does most of the cooling in this build

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.519
although there is a black ice 2 Pro here

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:20.120
in the front but these fans actually only turn on if the system gets hot

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:24.440
which with a single graphics card in it is very unlikely for the liquid cooling

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:30.319
system to actually heat up uh speaking of the liquid cooling system here's an

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.200
EK gtx480 uh nickel plated Plexi block

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

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:38.760
testing on this system you can see the

00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:43.200
back of the system I'm using noise dampening mounts for all of the fans

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:47.920
where that is a possibility this build is all about silence this liquid cooling

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:55.599
system is not for performance all of these fans will be run at much less than

00:02:52.519 --> 00:02:57.599
full Voltage at all times thanks to this

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

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:07.080
temperature sensors one of which gets uh attached to the side of my main radiator

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

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:15.319
North Bridge so basically I use those as a reference points for how hot is my

00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:19.799
liquid cooling system how hot are the air cooled components in my rig and then

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:25.360
I adjust the fan speeds in zones so these two and these two are actually

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.159
adjusted together and I use the 92s

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

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:34.159
little bit quieter than the 12 then the 120s kick in when things get

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:40.360
hot and the liquid cooling system actually runs with the fans off on the

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.480
front and right around like 30% fan

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:48.000
speed on the bottom ones until things start to get a little bit warm there's

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.720
that Amax Revolution yes I realize in an

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

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

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:04.799
paint and really I have enough Radiator in this rig to cool a couple machines

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

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:12.439
talking about these are going to be a great addition to this build I just

00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:18.000
changed over to these I was using Y loons down here before because air

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:22.919
penetrators are designed to actually blow air in a column directly away from

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

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:31.600
sitting here it should more in this is all in theory it should in theory more

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.000
effectively blow the air through and out the other side panel rather than just

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:39.400
kind of scattering it around in here and relying on random chants to blow out the

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:42.919
other side of the computer so that that is my

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:47.800
theory seems like a good theory uh here's some inverters for cold cathodes

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

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

00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:02.560
all the drives stay completely hidden out of the way I still have some stuff

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

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

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

00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:19.319
REV one here's a really old rev one that

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

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

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

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

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.880
the question right now um yeah this is what the floor looks

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.160
like oh yeah I've been working on sleeving the revolution comes with just

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:50.440
horrendous looking sleeving on I me look at

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:54.639
this so I went ahead and replaced it with uh plain black sleeving that I

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:59.960
bought from cable organizer.com it's cheap it's fast things get done so uh

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

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

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

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

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:20.599
Blu-ray slhd DVD drives I know no one

00:06:17.599 --> 00:06:22.639
cares about HD DVD anymore but if I ever

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

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

00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:38.319
the the front drive bay covers with antech 900 ones so now they are uh

00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:43.800
perforated and you can run air through them which is good here in the front I

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:46.960
still have the stock USB fire wire audio

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:50.199
thing and I have UV lights yep black

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:53.240
lights here here two of them here one

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:56.960
more back here and that lights up the UV

00:06:53.240 --> 00:07:00.080
Blue uh primoflex LRT tubing as well as

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:01.879
the UV sensitive GED Wing fans

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

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

00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:15.240
for wow like weeks I I wish it worked

00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:18.720
cuz then I would have a computer again that would be great
