WEBVTT 00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.920 another in progress shot here guys so I've got almost everything torn out 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:21.600 although I am actually going to take the case apart all the way um all the way 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:24.199 down to the drive cages here the mid 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.960 plate uh these back pieces I don't know if you guys have ever noticed this 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.800 before but when I originally got the internals of my case powder coated you 00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:34.680 can see here this is a mountain mods black wrinkle finish uh when I 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:40.200 originally got that done I forgot to send Ben from Mountain mods this piece 00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:44.079 this piece and this one so they've always still been the original silver uh 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.440 aluminum color so what I'm going to do is I'm going to try and find a local 00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:51.480 shop with a chemical bath strip down the 00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:53.399 powder coating off of my old Parts 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:57.719 including my motherboard tray here as well and then I'm going to send him all 00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.039 the old Parts stripped down the parts that have never been done I'm going to 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.720 RP the powder the factory powder coating off these uh antech 900 Drive cages and 00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:10.600 I'll send those down as well so that they will at least if they don't match 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.479 this finish they'll at least match the interior finish cuz otherwise I don't 00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:17.159 really know what else to do with that you can see there's a lot of gunk in 00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:20.799 here that I'm going to have to clean off before I can even get the paint stripped 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:27.600 off these are this is residue Left Behind from the uh cathod lights 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.560 mounting so there's some up here as well 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:33.040 I don't know if you guys can see that oo something up there whoops I forgot about 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:38.119 those uh there you go now you can see it so there's lots of tapes and junk that's 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:42.840 going to take me a while to clean out got to get these fans out of here I think I'm going to stick with the GED 00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:46.840 wings I like them for a couple reasons they undervolt really well plus the 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.960 blades come right off so it means you can clean them out really easily and 00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:53.560 then uh just pop them back in there so 00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:59.399 that's awesome plus it's one of the few high quality fans that comes in 120 mil 00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:01.799 92 mil um and whatever other sizes you need I'm going to stick with air 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.719 penetrators for the radiator in the bottom as well I don't see the point of 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.000 uh spending money on fans if I already have good high quality ones that I can 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:14.959 just clean up now Reservoir this is something that's a bit tricky this is my 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:21.720 this is my most current one so this is my problem with the MCR micro it always 00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:23.879 gunks up because no Loop is 100% clean 00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:28.400 and to you know lesser or greater extents this one's epic so it's pretty 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:34.160 uh yeah it's pretty pretty disgusting and it's impossible to clean um so I'm 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.280 either going to go with a fresh MCR micro so here's a new one this is a red 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:41.680 two so it's got the uh the fill port in the bottom I think yeah so it has the 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:48.959 fill port in the bottom all those are rev ones um so I'm either going to do 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:51.400 that or I'm going to go with uh the xspc 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.480 acrylic tank reservoir for the Lang D5 cuz I don't have a ton of space in the 00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:02.280 basement down here once I put in that thick um 480 mm radiator and the power 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.799 power supply I'm left with just a tiny bit of space here for cable routing and 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.959 uh and for the pump and Reservoir so I might go that route remember the 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.519 fittings for the radiator come out over here as well so it's very cramped in 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:17.640 there um and since T tidying up the cabling is one of the goals for this 00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:23.319 build I'm going to have to figure out a smarter way to do that so the reservoir 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.920 top goes on instead of this piece right here you just screw the pump unit into 00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:29.959 it and then it acts as both a pump top 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:34.040 to theoretically improve performance of I don't really care about that as well 00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.799 as a reservoir so that's probably the route we're going to go for that one of 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.920 the other things I'm sort of considering 00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.959 since I'm going to have to go to probably a plating shop anyway to get 00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:48.959 these uh to get these stripped is maybe plating the Copperheads cuz right now 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:54.280 there's no way I'd consider using these in the build just because the color 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.959 scheme is just I mean terrible you can't 00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:03.920 have silver remember this is like a true silver color silver gold and copper in 00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:05.640 the same build that simply will not fly 00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:10.799 but I do have two of these so I could potentially do uh one on each side of 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.480 the memory in order to I mean it's going to be really busy tubing wise though so 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:17.239 yeah I still got to think about that whether or not I want to water cool the 00:04:15.799 --> 00:04:21.160 RAM I know there's no performance benefit don't worry guys I know this 00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:25.240 isn't even real Copperhead memory this is just a this is just cheap memory with 00:04:23.479 --> 00:04:30.320 uh with the copperhead heat spreader look it's just DDR3 uh 1600 cl9 like 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:34.520 there's nothing special about about it but I just wanted the copper head uh 00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:39.360 sink so that I focus focus Copperhead sink so that I 00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:43.520 could do uh so I could show them off in the ultimate water cooling guide so uh 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.560 that was my whole motivation there uh what are other things that I 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:51.320 that I want to sort of talk about I can show you guys more about the machine you 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:56.039 can see how disgusting it gets with all the like cat hair and like look at that I 00:04:54.520 --> 00:04:59.440 can't even I can't even scrape this off I might even have to like pressure wash 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:03.199 this thing I'm not really sure how I'm going to get it clean I thought about 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:08.240 painting the case itself but I love the finish of the Silverstone tj07 um so I 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:12.240 yeah I think I'd be doing a disservice to this particular case by by painting 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:17.120 and it's really not in that bad shape this is a very durable finish that's on 00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:22.400 this particular case especially on here the side panels are not in nearly as 00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:23.919 good condition but painting is is an 00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:30.680 expenditure once again that I don't really need and with uh you know rotten 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:37.160 creatures like that one over there um it's yeah likely to get scratched and 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.120 all that so uh one other small problem I 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:44.840 have is that my motherboard tray one of the you can see that the one right in 00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:49.560 the center of the frame that hole is actually bigger than the other two one 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.360 of those is stripped so I've thought 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:56.759 about whether or not I want to bother trying to get a new one from Silverstone 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:00.240 or something like that I I don't know what to do about that I mean I could 00:05:58.039 --> 00:06:04.039 retap them all a different side and use like custom screws in order to hold in 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:07.319 all my adding cards but once again it's kind of like do I want to go through the 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.720 hassle because the thing that's going to be installed in there is going to be the 00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:16.680 graphics card which is going to have two screws in it anyhow so I'm not really 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:17.720 that concerned about it um oh yeah the 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.599 last thing I'm probably going to powder coat is the housing for this so since 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.880 I'm sending it down to uh to Mountain mods I might as well have them deal with 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:30.759 that as well and then I think that's it for for metal stuff I'm going to stick 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:37.000 with my uh my shiny um shiny PCI slot covers I really 00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:39.960 like the look of these um you know goes 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:44.960 with stuff like this sort of you can't really tell but this is also very mirror 00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.479 finish it's just Dusty yeah there we go 00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:53.000 okay so uh moving on to the next thing oh yeah along the the same note of the 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:58.560 gunk that's built up and that uh that GTX 480 block that um caused my whole 00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:02.919 Loop to go all cloudy and murky I mean this is the state of the tubing that uh 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:07.240 that was in my that was in my loop at the time I'm going to have to do 00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:12.080 something about my radiators because I'm not going to replace them because that's 00:07:10.599 --> 00:07:16.800 hold on I'm just going to turn off the auto white balance or rather turn it on 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:23.000 uh just okay so we're in the bathroom here so yeah once again it's an 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:26.720 expenditure I don't really need and uh 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.160 you can't even you can't even really get 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:33.759 a better radiator than the one I'm already using anyway the thermo one so 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:38.479 what is the point I might as well do what I can in order to salvage it right 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.960 um you know what I lost the tubing I was going to use give me a sec guys so this 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:47.879 is not the best way to cleanse radiators so I got my thermal chill one uh to 4x1 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:53.520 120 mil and I've got this is this is awesome this is my U Hardware Labs black 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:59.599 ice Pro two this is the first radiator I ever bought it's in horrible shape all 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:01.840 of these threads are stripped to hell 00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:04.840 but uh I hold on to it just because you know it's my one of it's one of the few 00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:09.440 things I have left although I still have my Appo my original swifttech Appo which 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.240 was also in my first water cooling like custom water cooling Loop um so yeah I 00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:18.280 continue to use it cuz you can't really see it anyway so yeah uh here you can 00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:23.000 actually see I don't know if you guys can see that you see all the gunk in the 00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:31.000 water there you can see like dust in particulate matter um that's obviously 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:33.839 part of the water cool now that it's uh 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:38.240 got all those metal corrosion bits floating around in it so to cleanse 00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:42.560 these if I was a purist I would probably be using some kind of like filtration 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:48.880 system or something like that but what I'm going to do since I'm just going to 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:50.640 ghetto it is um just run water I might 00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:55.000 do hot water at first and then switch over to cold water and run it all night 00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:58.839 but I'm just going to hook these two radiators 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.279 up I'm going to take this piece of tubing 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.279 and I'm going to tape it into the 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:11.040 faucet yeah how's that for a product placement right there got that taped on 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:17.760 there and then I'm just going to run the water for a little bit 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:19.800 here I know this is not the best way to 00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:25.040 do this just because of a couple things so one is the uh the metal ions that can 00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:29.800 exist in tap water so yeah that's going to leave a bit of a 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:34.360 deposit here but I think the net result is still going to be better than what I 00:09:32.079 --> 00:09:37.399 had going on in there before uh it's a bit of a waste of water as well the good 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.480 news is I live in British Columbia Canada where water costs almost nothing 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:45.680 my cat's very curious about what the heck's going on in his sink this is sort 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:51.200 of the cat bathroom cuz they have their food and their water in there um so yeah 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.320 there I think that's pretty much the update for now cleaning up my water cooling stuff and uh still some 00:09:54.839 --> 00:09:59.640 decisions to be made got to send away some parts so it might be a little while 00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:05.000 before I have another update but uh will keep you guys posted don't forget to 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.000 subscribe
