we finally put our epic employee gaming lounge back together but there's a key
thing missing check this out we got our playstation our xbox our switch we've
even got an NVIDIA shield where's the freaking gaming pc to power the vr
experience no problem we know how to build gaming
pcs or at least some of us do to help me out
today i've brought along my one and only wife
who to my knowledge has never actually built a water cooled computer before
yeah no not a water cooled one yeah built one four
it took me four hours we don't have four hours so
let's see what we can do and let's see if i can tell you about
our sponsor the volta spark 60 watt braided charging cable features a snag
safe magnetic connection tip for both trip protection and for swapping between
devices and for even faster charging you can check out their volta spark 100 watt
at the link below
there's a number of ways we can go about this what you look nervous oh well okay
if i'm building it myself then i'm very nervous you're going to do most of it
but i'm going to be here to help you okay and not here to help you in a like
screaming why are you doing it wrong from the other room kind of way so what
do you want to start with do you want to start with the water cooling or the computer hardware i feel like there's a
right answer and you're testing me we start with the motherboard don't we i
learned from last time okay i did wow that's pretty good
we've gone with a crosshair eight dark hero and the main reason for that is
that well this is a top-of-the-line rig and
we are making no compromises whatsoever
totally unlike us i know hold on you can't put it on yet because we got to see if there's any accessories that we
need no we need the stickers you got to keep those yeah we can keep them
in here for our CPU we've gone with a ryzen 9 5900x and while that's not
technically the highest end in AMD's lineup that would be the 16 core 5950x
12 cores is lots for gaming and in terms of gaming
performance it is on par with its more expensive cousin so this is more than
enough okay are you gonna put it in at some point well i i sorry
it's fine you know that that will just fall out of there yeah yeah but it
didn't it has pins on it this is AMD oh yes okay i know
i know there's more of them downstairs i was just waiting for you to finish
talking i thought i had to wait i didn't know i could just keep going golden
triangle
see wow have you been studying no i did
that part right the last time i even helped somebody with that part last time
we've gone with 3 600 megahertz cl 14
dimms from g-skill these are part of their trident zrgb series so they're
going to look freaking awesome and this is pretty much best case scenario in
terms of performance memory for AMD oh those are tight fit
that's what she said i'm going to take every opportunity
today now last time i made the mistake of trying
to put the cooler on so
we're gonna do the i don't remember what these are called i just call them ssds
but i know i know that that's not what they're
called what what would they be called
well i don't know i thought there's a different name for the tiny ones oh yes
it is an SSD this is just an NVMe m.2
SSD oh so yeah you were 100 correct that's why i was sitting here going like
i don't know what these are called so i'm going to call it an SSD i don't know gum stick me
can you do that i mean you can do anything you want
actually don't tell me but i don't actually see where this goes
so is this a test or are we actually working together on this uh i don't know
i hadn't really decided okay so i think we're not gonna put that there
what you're 100 right that it fits but there's actually a primary and a
secondary slot on this board and this right here is an 8
terabyte qlc SSD from sabrin it's not
really that fast but it's got a ton of capacity so this is going to be our bulk
storage drive we're going to put it in our secondary slot which is under here i
thought you said we were building the best pc ever
well okay i made a small compromise on the boot
drive wait what are you doing what's up oh uh we need those screws we gotta
screw in the drives okay i thought the plate screwed that in i had oriented it
a certain way and then you picked it up and gave it to me and now i don't remember which way that's okay text is
always your best clue if there's text on something then put it right side up okay
did you even check for the text yeah i did it says m.2 and also the pattern
goes i think it actually says 2.w
no what no stop it
are you mad about something she always cleans when she's mad
no annoyed maybe here you clean you put
that away i'm guessing this is a water block
uh yes but it's been pre-installed by Jake for us thank you Jake actually this
is a super cool block we did a video about this recently uh ek released a a
two-part block so this is for an rtx 3090 which has the GPU and memory on the
front and then also has memory on the back of the card so this two-piece block
cools both the front and the back of the card and we found a real difference in
temperatures with this implementation it also looks fantastic this is i don't know if you
noticed but the theme of the build is all matte black yeah i did notice except
for RGB RGB is okay too should we put the motherboard in the case yeah we
could do that okay i'm gonna move it this feels like rog rig reboot
what i mean we've had people do so well at rg rugby
boot we ended up hiring them and if you work hard someday we might
hire you too oh my gosh wow okay
wait who's technically the boss of who
it's complicated i think it's complicated depending on who you ask
okay we're gonna put this over here the 5000x from Corsair's biggest
standout feature is just that everything is like
really well thought out so cooling cable management the amount of hardware it can
fit i've never seen these things before yeah included little cable ties included
fan hub included RGB hub just everything
is ready to go if you're looking for just kind of the simplest case to build
in if you're getting kind of all standard components you just want to
throw it together it's a really good choice oh no
yeah the chief troll office officer of lttstore.com just arrived with some new
mousepad samples oh that's unfortunate man
um wow needs some dlss
are we actually making these i think no one would like us to make it no one
is gonna buy that look at it i mean
televon she's wrong in the comments i guess
rude don't
i'm figuring it out okay looks like it
wait what do you well do you want me to tell you
yes yes okay all right you gotta take this peel off now otherwise you can't get it off oh okay
okay there we go all right so got the nipple coming through the hole
and that means all of them are lined up yeah you're good i haven't done water
cooling before but i'm guessing this is the reservoir but i don't know why there's two of them me neither okay well
i guess we'll figure that out that's GPU block wait is this another reservoir
um yup why do we sorry
why do we have three reservoirs why are there three radiators Jake works
in mysterious ways sometimes that seems like overkill
in this case because we want something that is quiet optimized we want
something that doesn't have super super dense fins the biggest difference is
that the xc is quite a bit thicker
so yeah if we're stuck with just one
thicker is going to be better we definitely can't put one of these
thick boys on the top just not enough room
that's not going to fit in there either we'll have to make some adjustments wait
what are you doing you're supposed to be teaching me how to do stuff oh uh
okay go ahead and take that out stuck somewhere well i don't know i was
trying to figure that out and then you told me i wasn't allowed okay we'll move
then i actually don't know what it's like there we go okay
i don't actually know if
that should come out the bottom or the top but i'm assuming if i were to go
based on what he said about text that being able to read that is a good
thing right okay no come back back
i don't want to be here all day
okay does it go in this way
uh no we should go the other way probably of course this is the part in
the build where we decide whether we want to be a david
what's a david a david is someone who installs fans in a
push configuration on the outside of their case into their
radiator davids end up with a big bunch
of cat hair and dog hair built up on their radiator and then their good
friend Linus who they definitely don't only hang out with because
Linus gives them a free computer and pays him money uh has to come and clean
all the hair out of the radiator okay so got it if we don't want to be a david we
move our fans to the other side of the rad which makes it a lot easier to clean
i'm actually going to have you pivot and work on installing the
CPU block okay that's a fun one that's a
sexy CPU block ek velocity baby
you know what i'm feeling fancy today i'm gonna put in four screws per fan
what i know right
look this is this is for this is for my staff okay
this is for my staff to enjoy vr games has to be built properly we never put
the screws in the motherboard to hold it to the case we never
you took the case from me i did overlook that
okay but i'm putting all the screws in the radiator
not content to order fittings like a normal person Jake decided to order them
by the pound for this build man these quantum torque fittings from
ek are freaking gorgeous
well yeah
okay i have no context for that i don't know what other fittings now i know how
you feel when you show me like some i don't know
uh cross-stitching thing or something and i'm like oh neat you know well wait
what the heck is going on over here well there's two different ones so i'm just
going to test and see ah okay uh it was
uh it was a good idea uh unfortunately in
order for your test to work you would have had to put them in the proper way
yeah right side up would be nice
this way fits she's planting uh she's
planting mounting post trees does it come with a backplate
i thought i took everything else oh
okay well it was on the bottom then this one's not
thick enough or like not long enough sorry what it must be this one okay hold
on a minute this goes here okay and then this goes here yeah so i
said we have to use the longer one because the other one was too short i just said that oh
well then what's the problem there wasn't you just assumed i was doing it
wrong i no i just um
see you even went and tested it after go away
i'm just checking i might throw on a touch more really i thought it was
supposed to be a grain of rice that's bigger than a grain of rice yeah this is
a bigger CPU than until this one you have to actually make sure the thermal
compound does cover the entire area yeah that's fine are you just supposed to know that kind
of stuff no you're supposed to watch tech tips videos
yeah lttstore.com do you actually talk about
that stuff in your videos though because from all the ones i've seen i don't
think i've heard you talk about that um i mean i am right now
this will be a video you just gotta watch all the videos well
every video has three percent of the tech tips you need
aio pump it's not an ao but could it go in there
uh i'm gonna go with a no captain let's uh
let's do one let's do one of your favorite phrases
let's make sure we're thinking critically what
uh does anything here need its speed control no but it needs power okay but
what do you think this is for
lights there we go okay yeah see she totally knows all the
principles just hasn't like done it before we're clearly not going to be
able to use the full size tube so i'm glad we have the little one
the pump is really ugly and the reservoir the whole thing
yeah um thank you that's very constructive it kind of is
what it is there's an RGB accent here
here here and there will be one on the GPU but i thought it's supposed to be
matte black everything that's not matte black
yeah
or use the stickers okay why don't we find you something to do hold on a
second what do you mean the tubing is ugly it's ugly
no this is like professional looking
it's clean okay it's not clean look at it it's dirty i know it's dirty no no
but i don't mean clean in that sense i mean
clean looking and you can clean no it just
looks like tubing i don't even also sometimes i feel like the point of water
cooling a system is so that you can see the water and it looks cool but now
you're just hiding it all yeah it's because we're like too cool to
care about seeing the water you can see it in the reservoir oh yeah
but the reservoir is ugly oh my gosh
okay i don't actually know which power things we need
so i got the big one that's good
you heard it here this is the evga big one does that not look awesome though oh
it's okay it's kind of covering the memory yep
that's not the point the point is it's clean we'll see we'll
see when it's done i think it looks really good basically
an attack on this tubing is an attack on me personally
well that's okay i think okay maybe that's
okay you don't get to decide if that's okay i'm telling you it's not okay are
you ready for the power supplier now um
what do you mean am i ready for the power supply go ahead and put the power supply
i thought you were building this computer well you're kind of in the way
if you can sew a quilt you can
plug in a power supply okay can i have the 24 pin
do my fingers fit in here okay
go away that's what she said
can you pass me front panel connectors from the power supply
uh new through this hole through what hole you're in the wrong hole
don't say it don't say it oh okay hold on
okay no no you can't just uh you can't just jam this one in there uh you'll end
up bending the pins uh oh shoot i think they're already bent oh
crap it's your fault but i don't blame you maybe we should have plugged that in
before we put it in the motherboard because it's really hard to
what i blame you you're the teacher thanks miss
um all right oh crap
oh crap balls okay
i'm going to take the motherboard out bend the pins back and then i'm going to
put this connector in without bending them watch me so basically oh wait oh
yeah okay there's supposed to be one pin missing in the corner here so that's
fine so it's just this one right here that got a little
a little off course you know if you know what i mean actually okay no it's not
just this one this one's just a touch out of alignment and this one needs to
go this way and then performing a feet okay
i don't need all your judgment eyes on the back of my neck here this is doable
i think these pins are just more mangled than i thought no i think it's just
really hard to get leverage aligned what no i can put all the leverage in the
world i want you want me to mash these pins down i'll do it right now okay hold
on okay okay go away or go away i will perform the feet later
go plug in more fans this is truly the worst connector of all time but there we
go it's in which proves that the pins are all in
the right spot hold on hold on no no no no no no i'm not ready i'm not ready to
perform the feet yet okay okay are you going to come watch my feet
i'm watching my feet are down there
go get got get it got her
that's my feet see that that's fine wait
don't tie that one down because we still need to do power i know a thing or two about being tied down you know what i
mean
i'm not a brave enough man for that
tubing is in the way oh crap
ah hold on well hold on let's see how does
it fit well i mean you're not even trying come
on jam it i don't want to break anything
no i i don't think we should force that and then i just pull it out uh yep
uh what well like you want to
kind of you want to kind of wiggle wobble it back and forth that's what i was doing okay
collar right yep that's i'm not even judging you that's
everyone's done it a hundred times you're always judging
no say you're not but you always judge no i wasn't
i wasn't judging that okay i was judging it but i was judging that it's okay is
this a wi-fi card um sort of that's not what we're using
it for though we're using it as a wireless interface for the vive vr
headset oh okay yeah so it runs completely wirelessly on this machine
small update we are totally gonna sacrifice performance for aesthetics
these dominator pros are gonna look way
way better in here trident zrgb cl 14
fast great memory um
it just looks totally out of place in here so yep here we go
i love how you instinctively put these on this side of the tubing instead of
around the tubing that would look really bad i knew i married her for a reason gotta get like
a black piece of tape for the back of this wi-fi thing or something well
that's what the stickers are for but what wait well hold on just a minute
actually that could kind of work we're not going to try and cut it to size we're just going to yellow it no i'm
measuring but also measuring look it's almost exactly the right size that's why
i picked it oh wait is it lined up right are you going to line it up right
i am working on it i'm just bugging you that's not bad not bad all right it's
definitely better than it was yeah or if we cut a sliver of it we
could do this part right here
why do i ever not have faith in this woman again i don't know
and that is why the cable management doesn't matter on this case i'll wait
though oh we can't close it up entirely until we've already powered it on i'm
not superstitious but it's extremely bad gbs to put all the panels on a computer
before you have powered it on because it's just like murphy's law
right what can go wrong will is that murphy's law
something something like that whatever the point is when it is the most
possible work to undo things that's when it will fail
hey were you going to power on the computer because we didn't put in the water
uh no
obviously but what about this person who left a
dongle in this uh keyboard yeah way to go that's for a g pro
wireless so my mistake is much smaller
but because i um was dumb and didn't
screw this in it's actually really good
and easy to fill this we're just going to kind of
okay and then we'll just kind of we'll put that back in later sure
uh do you need help with that no yeah it's to keep children out
okay because they don't have the upper body strength to
casually easily open it like this thanks
oh
what happened
something shorted that right there just totally blew
i'm not a hundred percent sure it looks like a small it's it's burned up enough
that it's hard to tell if it's a cap or
something else no no no we didn't spill anything does that mean it's dead
oh yeah probably oh
seriously uh yeah seriously three four pins
in right everything there's nothing to really
there's nothing to really bung up about it should we power it on again
i vote yes where's the fire extinguisher you know
how to use one of these yeah am i doing it yeah just make sure you
look down the barrel while you pull the trigger so you can make sure it
okay ready
oh no i need that wait oh you need more you took it away sorry i thought you
were just seeing if it was i thought you were just checking if it
was turning on okay it fired up uh all the rams detected
um interesting what you put the side panel
on without me that's the most fun part oh sorry
i did i took these and now you're putting your fingerprints all over the glass
the peel was that lady inside instead of the outside which is kind of weird that
doesn't change that you're putting fingers all over the glass holding it in so it doesn't fall out while i screw it
on check this out it's like actually a tasteful amount of RGB i like it no it's
not yeah it is no it's not it's totally tasteful that is a lot of RGB have you
ever tried wireless vr no i haven't you should give it a shot did we ever
acknowledge on camera that this just like works now and i even tried that fan
port that was right there and it works too i don't know i don't know it seems fine
but it had fire on it wow that is uh
about as high performance as it gets 2.42
like two and a half millisecond frame times what does that even work out to
i love about this cab reef yeah uh i don't think you're very good at crab
rave i would try you could try crab brave if
you want
we should put Yvonne in arizona sunshine yeah okay
yeah you're gonna you're gonna try arizona sunshine oh is it scary i thought that was a scary
one uh no it's not scary are you lying
yeah no no it's fine it's fine it'll be fun they're not scary zombies they're more
like friendly zombies this is a game that's really nice to not
have a tether because you can turn around as much as you want uh no i don't
like this game i don't like this game
why is he not dead no i don't want to play
no it's too real it's a little more immersive i don't really like this game
that's what i thought see i actually listen when you talk to me that's it
that's our new vr setup uh massive thank
you to everyone who sent parts for it especially evga like i said those gpus
not easy to get your hands on and i'm looking forward to us all getting our

our previous lounge series where we all worked together to
build 12 gaming machines is it 12
yeah 12 gaming machines wow that was an ordeal a lot of the people building them
didn't know how to build computers
