Oh my god, we are screwed. I saw you might have a manual. We have taken out
so many screws. The people love it when we suffer. That looks like ass.
>> Charles would be proud. >> I really hope he doesn't watch this.
>> Wait, how do we get this piece back in?
>> It's been a month and a half. I've undergone some changes.
>> As have I. >> Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
>> Bad news. >> No, I'm going to give you the good news. >> Okay. I got the manual. Guy on Reddit
came through. We got the manual. Let's go.
>> Do you want the bad news now? >> Yeah. >> When you walked away from the shoot.
>> Oh no. >> I did a quick test fit. It's not even
close, bud. Even when you make them skinny like this, the GPU manufacturers
make them tall, which not always an advantage. You wouldn't believe the kind
of places I can fit in. But there's good news that I haven't shared with you yet.
Jake knows a guy because Jake always knows a guy.
>> No way. >> Somehow gets these. >> Is this a 5090 as well?
>> This is a 5090, but instead of the fittings being on the top like in most
desktop systems, they're at the back cuz this is designed more for like rack
mount and server systems. Got it. Where they often have the same height
constrictions. >> Constrictions. >> Restrictions.
>> Restraints. I haven't technically actually made sure that this fits in
here. >> Oh. Oh, they made their own PCI back plate. >> Oh, it's single slot.
>> Uh, okay. It's bent. Good effort. Hold
on. >> Well, let's hope it fits. >> Just cuz it's bent doesn't mean it
doesn't work just fine. I got three kids.
>> Oh, dude. >> Wow. There's PL, >> dude. >> There's so much room.
>> We're good. >> Oh, yeah. >> All problem solved.
>> Definitely not. >> Wait, you have news? >> Yes, because I was aware of the manual.
I was reading through it. I think we need to take the entire thing apart.
>> You think based on the manual and how it starts by just saying, "Please dismantle
the entire thing." >> No, but we did that. We did. We put the the to put the thing in
>> like getting things like the radiators in. >> No, we could do it. >> Getting the tubing up and through.
Lionus, I think we need to dismantle the
whole thing. >> No.
>> All right. Hey, you're paying the OT then in 4 hours when we realize we need
to dismantle the whole thing. >> We have all day >> and I still don't believe.
>> No, we got this. We got this. You green. This GAN charger has a neat little
feature. The built-in retractable cable that's capable of supplying the full 100
W charging capacity or working in conjunction with its two USBC and one
USBA ports. Pick up one today using our
link down below. Man, even this manual is obsessive. How many pages is it?
134. >> Mhm. Full color images everywhere. Like
this thing's healthy. >> But do you not think we need to take the
whole thing apart looking at the images? >> No. I actually have read through it,
too. And surprisingly, it seems like we figured out a lot of the hard parts.
Most of the really specific instructions in here that we haven't done are for
parts that we don't have. Got it. >> Like for instance, this radiator mount
thing here. We don't have that. So, we're just going to have to drill holes in the bottom of the case and mount the
radiator directly. >> It's a $2,000 case.
>> I know, but this mount is not one of Charles's original parts. This isn't in
the manual. And you can see the finish on this isn't the same. >> M.
>> This is Sharpied. >> You're right. Okay.
>> This was figured out after the fact when Silverstone wasn't manufacturing
accessories for it anymore as a way to get radiators into these things. Got it.
So, no, like we got this. Boom. So, we just put in four screws and that's it.
That's your radiator mount. Do we have fans? >> We actually have a whole ton. There's
like 16.4 mill. >> Okay. Uh there is a couple bins of them.
Yeah. >> Thought you were pointing at those ones.
>> These these monsters. >> Put that down. How about Noctua
Industrial? That seems like kind of the right thing to do. >> I prefer RGB.
>> You would spit on a man's grave before he's even buried. Put that down. Okay.
Okay. >> Do you prefer Corsair instead of Leanley? Like
>> No. No. It's Charles. He likes things that He likes things
that are classy. I mean, we could. >> No, I don't think we should cuz we don't
have any other RGB in there. >> That's true. >> So, it would just be like random RGB
glowing out through the bottom. Ooh, underglow. I >> I was just thinking underglow. And it's
kind of gold and silver. We could give it like a yellow underglow. We'll let
the audience decide. >> Fill out the poll now and we'll go with your choice.
>> Wow, >> that was a good choice. >> Great choice. What? >> They picked RGB.
>> They picked this one.
How about we do half and half? >> Seems right. >> Cool.
>> No, stop it. >> Fine. >> You actually have to make a choice. I
mean, this is tempting. >> How we reverse position.
>> Noctuas are going to be really quiet. And if we're kind of going for the
stylish look of minimal RGB, I agree. We
can go with Noctua. >> Okay. Under normal circumstances, I
wouldn't really worry too much about which radiator we're using. You know, like how thick is it and what's the fin
density? Is it optimized for our fans? But with a 5090, if we don't want our
cooling fans blowing like crazy, it could actually matter. A cool stream
could be a good choice. Damn, I don't think we ever used this. Okay, sick. Can
you hold that for a sec? Uh, I want to check this Alpha Cool one and see if
it's thicker and or maybe slightly less
dense. >> Oh, yeah. This is a dense boy. >> Yeah. And to be clear, these are
reasonably high static pressure fans. This is what I want cuz I want to run at
a lower RPM. I see. Yeah. Okay. What I would have rather had though was a lowin
density like thick radiator like they used to make back in the old days.
>> Oh, actually look at that. >> Oh, this is it's only a triple. So, I
wouldn't want to use this one. But this is my old thermchill PA series from my
TJ07 build. >> Oh, cool. >> My Yatoon fans courtesy of NCX hand
sleeved by yours truly. >> Cool. >> This is a really nice rad.
>> Shame it's only 360. It's how they used to make them. Yeah, it's too short.
>> Well, takes after its owner.
>> All right. >> Tubing this up is going to suck. >> Yeah, our guess was right. The
instructions actually are drill holes to
run tubing. >> So, we're doing that then, right?
>> Are we going to cheat it and do softline in the basement? >> Elijah, I think you know the answer to
that. >> We're going to cheat it. >> Elijah, what are you doing?
>> What? >> I'm not even talking about the cross threading. Those fittings don't match.
>> Yes, they do. They match the same thing. >> One of them has a logo on. This is It's
going to be in the basement. We're not going to see it. >> Charles, would we turn over in his
grave? He's not dead. >> Not yet.
>> Okay, then we have >> Unless you do this to him. >> We have till then.
>> We need to figure out how to get fans in here. We might have to take the whole thing apart.
>> I told you.
I'll check the manual. >> Okay, hear me out. No top fans. Why
don't you just take out the back panel? Just screw it in.
>> Oh, >> you're a god genius, private gump.
>> It's It's still a lot of screws, but it's fewer a lot of screws.
>> You know what's crazy? This manual doesn't mention anywhere where to take that out. >> Well, the manual was never actually
completed. That's the work in progress one. >> You know, bad instructions are sometimes
worse than no instructions, right? >> I don't know if they're bad.
>> Details. I've noticed that I do a lot of
the working on the computer.
>> Yeah, I'm the supervisor. >> Do you want to help? >> Wow, you're you're in the way. Oh, yeah.
They can just slide in like a little shelf. >> Yeah, buddy. Let's go.
>> What a good way to install a fan. This
connector has to feed through this one before we slide it. But I don't think
it's going to fit. >> We could use the Lean Lee fans. >> Oh, cuz they just click on and then we
just have the one cable. I like the simplified wiring. Yeah. Okay. Fine.
Okay. Leanly fans win. >> See, that's what they voted for
originally. >> Are you good? >> I'm a little confused. Is this the right
connector? >> I don't know. It was in the fan. >> They're just reusing the same connector
for the RGB version. >> Okay. >> So, I think we're good.
>> So, these are nonRGB. >> Yeah, these are RGB. >> And we're fine with that. >> And we're fine with that.
>> Okay, cool. Are they standard thickness, though? >> O, I actually don't know about that.
Oh, you know what would have been really easy to identify if we took the whole
thing apart. >> Mhm. >> You know what, Elijah?
>> It's not the thickness. >> See, the thickness goes in.
>> So then what's the issue? >> It's the width. They're a little bit wider.
>> Really? Really? >> You know what? No. No. I think this can
work. Damn it. >> This is my job.
>> You know, it doesn't have to be if you don't want it to. >> I know. I know. >> Come on.
You know what would have been easier? >> What? >> If we took the whole thing apart.
>> You know what you could do? >> What's up? is you could attach all the
fans to this. >> Oh, sure. >> Wait,
they have the brown tabs on them. >> We're not taking them out.
>> We have to. >> No, Lus. We can't. >> No, we can't have brown tabs on it. They
look so stupid. >> Lus, please. It took us half an hour to
get these two fans in.
We can't.
>> Remember when you were like, "Hey man, when I get back from copy text, let's do a quick and easy shoot of building in
this computer." My life has been upside down since.
All right, you can change it out. >> Yeah, if you really want to.
>> I have to. It's not that I want to, Elijah. It's that I have to.
That way we won't see the little brown logo through the top of the case.
Charles would approve. >> Are you gonna be mad if they're white fans?
>> Yeah, they're hidden. >> Okay, cool. >> These ones are actually hidden, unlike these stupid ones.
>> Okay, we're good then. >> Are you good, though? Are you okay, Elijah?
>> Do you want the honest answer? >> Fans are in. Now all I have to do is put
the back of the case back on and put the GPU back in. And then we're right back
where we started. Well, I have two fans installed.
>> Yeah, I got four. >> Wait, what? No, no, >> it's on the inside. You're not going to
see it. >> You've got to be kidding me right now. >> I couldn't find the rest of the screws.
>> But you put one in this one. >> Yeah, they're they're connected. Elijah,
the radiator screws were Oh, I had you put them away. Let me see. Oh my
goodness. My dad gets mad. I'm not mad.
>> She's disappointed. >> No, I'm not disappointed. Not in you.
I'm disappointed in me for not raising you right.
Wait, Elijah, they're going the wrong way.
>> There is one other thing. I don't actually know the internal flow path of
this block. This is actually Optimus water cooling's block. It's a pre-production sample, so it's not quite
available yet, but they do have other GPUs and CPUs. If you're interested in
getting one, we'll have them linked below. Thanks, Optimus. It kind of
matches the theme of the build. So,
all right. How much you want to bet this is drop
dead gorgeous?
Holy crap. Is that beautiful or what?
Wow. I'm done. >> Nice.
>> Yeah. >> Hey, that looks great. >> Yeah. You know what's crazy is you can't
tell, right? So, it would have been fine the other way. >> Nope. It wouldn't have been. The people
would have known. Charles's grave would have known. >> He's not dead.
>> That you know of. So, the fan hub. >> Yes.
>> Where's that going to go? Oh, no. How are we going to Oh, it's going to look
terrible. USB is like right here.
>> Oh, that's hideous. Is there a route back? H. Now that I think about it,
technically the USB is only needed when you configure it. Many of these hubs
will retain their configuration when they're unplugged. So, we could just
plug it in temporarily, configure it however we want, and then we could
unplug it. >> Okay. Just as Charles intended.
>> I think we're ready to start thinking about our water cooling flow path. It's
a nice little 120 mm size reservoir, and you just put like a D5 pump on the back
of it. >> Oh, cool. >> Yeah, >> it's AMD, though.
We have an Intel CPU and an NVIDIA GPU.
>> Yes, >> I guess we have all three now. >> And an AMD reservoir.
>> I I think this will work really good because we can just basically
Okay. And then this whole thing goes
Wait. So, it's in.
>> Sure. >> Like that's in position. >> Yep. >> I need a fitting
>> uh below you. >> Okay. I assume we're using the gold ones. >> Yeah. Oh,
balls. Do you want the bad news or the worst news? >> Uh, worst news.
>> The worst news is that our only fittings
are hardline. So, we're hardlining everything.
>> Okay. Bad news. >> We don't have any 90° G14th threaded
fittings. We only have these, which are extremely bulky and will not clear here.
Which one of those was worse? >> I don't know. We'll just have to find
some non- gold fittings to hide in the basement. >> That's fine. >> Okay.
>> I mean, I have some good news. We definitely have long enough cables that
will match our build. >> Should we go softline tubing?
>> It won't even help us that much. >> Why won't it? >> Cuz this is the easiest run in the whole
damn thing. >> I'm talking softline tubing the whole thing. >> Oh, come on. We don't even have gold
fittings for softline. >> We don't need gold fittings. We have
gold cables. We have gold everything else. He's drunk.
>> I don't drink. Then what's your excuse?
>> I feel a little paralyzed, not going to lie. Right now, the task is a little bit
overwhelming. I don't want to drill a hole through this mid plate. This is not
replaceable. You know what I'm saying? Does that look too ass?
If >> I were honest, yes. >> Bad news, Elijah. >> Sure. Glenn said it looks ass.
Can we do it anyways?
But hear me out. We go silver fittings on silver things. Gold fittings on gold
things >> and then black fittings on this. >> I think this could get away with gold.
Oh, good. You're back. Do you want the bad news or the good news?
>> Good news. >> You brought back the right size of tubing for these fittings. >> Oh, nice. Oh, no. What's the bad news?
>> It looks super thinner and kind of stupid.
>> Yeah, it really does, doesn't it? >> It really does. >> Oh, man.
No, >> the problem is is if we want the gold fittings, we have to do this size tubing
cuz we don't have bigger gold fittings, >> right? It's humble tubing.
>> Exactly. >> You know what? This is not too horrible,
which is what we were going for, right? >> Sure. >> Not too horrible. So, how about this?
Why don't you start working on the wiring while I start working on the
tubing? >> And by wiring, you mean just motherboard? Okay.
>> Yeah. >> Let's get that done. >> How do we always find a new level of pain for builds?
>> I think that's what keeps them interesting. So, you're saying we were doing it on purpose?
>> Well, we can tell the people we are. >> That way, it makes us look like we're
really competent because we can plan our failures. >> We thought of this.
>> We thought of all of this. Elijah, hear me out. >> Sure.
>> What if we went kind of wackadoodle with the runs? Like Charles used to often do
that. He'd have like cool squiggles and stuff like that. And what if instead of
having this one come out and just like go down to here, what if it like came
out and like went over here and then went here and then went over here? You
know what? I am on board. Especially if
it means we can use more right angle fittings and less actual bending.
>> Okay. Cuz I think even doing multiple of
those will be faster and better than trying to get like one really good bend.
>> Oh, nice. >> Oo, cable combs are kind of
>> Wow, that's sketch. Think about it this way, Elijah. >> Sure.
>> At least it's Friday.
I'm pretty rusty. I haven't done this in a while, so uh maybe don't look that
close. You want to slightly overbend it with the idea being that once it relaxes
a little. I mean, that's 90. Yes. Right. 90.
>> Yeah. For you. Yeah. >> No, I meant like 90 out of 100.
>> Oh, yeah. Then Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're good. You're good. >> 90%. >> Yeah. Would you be mad at me if I
double-sided taped this? >> Yeah. >> To the case? >> Everyone would.
>> I'll be real with you. I don't want to be the one to drill this and mount this.
>> Why? Because you don't want six holes in the bottom of the case.
But are Hey, are you rolling? >> I'm not doing this while the camera's rolling.
>> What? >> I I am taking my stand. >> That's in your contract.
>> The the heights and everything are wrong right now. So, it it will get better.
But like Oh my god, >> that looks so dumb.
I love it. Oh, it's sliding like crazy.
Oh, buddy. Oh my god. Aw.
>> What' you do? >> No, I didn't do anything wrong, per se. I just didn't do it right.
Oh god. Okay. Dude, I think I nailed it.
It actually looks kind of maybe not that
stupid.
Huh. >> Great. >> Huh? >> I like it.
>> All right. I'm feeling good. Elijah,
>> that's good cuz we're done in 55 minutes. >> What? You only have an hour?
>> Mhm. Till you start paying me OT. >> We pay you? Thought someone brought
their kid to work. So, let me get this straight. I hardline water cooled this
and you drilled one hole.
I >> know you're really locked in right now, but can you see the problem?
>> You can just take the radiator out and screw it in from the back.
Damn it. He's so smart. This is the problem though.
>> It always takes like four or five bends for me to really like dial in. Like this
is a great bend. A very good bend.
>> Oh, that looks really good though. >> This actually ended up like kind of
okay. Hey, >> this looks sweet. >> There you go. >> This is why we still need you, sir. Our
fearful leader. >> I knew. Did you just call me fearful? >> Yeah.
>> Our fearful leader. You know what? I like that. It's got a nice ring to it.
>> Well, like we're fearful of you. >> What? That's not what it means. >> Oh,
>> good. Good. >> What do you think? Is that close enough? >> Uh, yes.
>> Okay. I don't even know what we're looking at.
>> Okay.
>> Everything's good. >> Are you sure? >> Oh, yeah. >> Uh, should I remove the power supply?
>> Nope. Live a little. >> You don't have your finger there, do
you? >> No, I'm holding the cables out of the way.
Good. >> Wow. >> This bit is freaking hard.
>> I was going to say it does not look like you're making a lot of progress.
Oh yeah.
Okay. That not going to lie, pretty ragged hole. Okay. So, that's going to
go like that. Okay. And then this one has to go into the radiator there.
>> Yeah. Oh, dude. That looks pretty sick. >> Yeah, I think it actually worked out
okay. >> I think it looks really good. Man, why does anybody water cool it? Stupid.
Yet you keep coming back to it.
>> You know what? I think we might have pulled it off, though.
>> We did good. >> Wow. It's in. Holy crap. It's in.
>> Okay. Well, we just have one more run. >> Teamwork, baby.
>> This is the fill port. >> Yeah. >> Oh, damn it.
>> This is the inlet. >> Okay, >> this is okay, Elijah.
>> Yeah. >> We just make another 90. >> Why? Where? We're just going to bring
this over and we're just going to go down to there. Boom. Done. It'll be
fast. I swear it'll be fast. I swear.
>> Okay. >> If I nailed this, then we're ready to
pressure test. Oh, I think I got it. >> All right. Are we in the
>> side? I think I got it. I think Yeah. Oh, yeah. The side panel will close. Yeah. >> Okay.
>> Okay. Okay. >> You're so excited. >> Well, wouldn't you be?
>> I'm very excited. I really want to see this. >> Okay. What are the odds? You a gambling
man? >> Uh, no. 20%. >> 20 tw 20 20%.
>> What are your odds? >> Solid 80%. I mean, I put all the
fittings on. Generally speaking, I don't screw that up.
>> I mean, there's definitely a couple fittings I put on. So,
>> 20%. >> The good news, Lionus, is it looks like we're holding pressure.
>> Heck yeah. How are we going to do this? It's so freaking long, dude. I want to
make it very clear to everybody watching that Charles would not like our build.
>> It is not up to his standards. I'd like to make it clear that I think he'd be
happy that someone is building in these again. >> Nope. >> Okay. >> I don't think so.
>> That's crazy. He would be more upset at this current
build. >> I'm trying to finesse this. Um
Elijah. >> Yes. >> I think it's time to kill.
>> Well, this is a heck of a one to start on. >> Okay. >> Okay. Here we go. All right. Uh
>> hit the switch and then go for it. Do it.
Dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. It looks pretty sick. Okay. You're going to hate this, but I wish we'd gone
with RGB fans. Yeah. I think that might have been the
right call. You know what?
We still could.
Dude, this thing is awesome. It looks pretty sick, too. Dude, it
totally worked out. I can't believe that it worked out.
>> It only took a month and a half. >> Well, okay. That's a minor thing.
>> Well, not really, cuz we have 20 more of these. What do we do with them?
>> Well, uh, whale PCs. >> You're going to be paying someone a lot of man-hour to build some whale PCs. I'm
down for it. >> No. >> Okay. >> Not necessarily.
They could be a lady.
>> That's not where I thought you were going to go. Oh, I thought you were just going to say I'm not going to pay.
>> Amazing, though. >> It kind of worked out. And the the RGB
fans on the top definitely make it work a little bit better.
>> Yeah, I agree. >> I know it's stupid, but I want another
GPU and SLI. >> Yeah. >> You know, because it would just
>> it would fill up the space more. It almost looks empty up top. >> Yeah.
>> It's not as good as Charles would have done. >> But do you think he'd be proud? >> No.
>> Okay. >> No. No. His standards are here. We're
like here. >> Hey, >> but but most computers are like here.
So, >> we're closer to Charles than most computers. If you look at underneath,
too, the GPU block kind of has like a reflection of like the RGB. It looks
amazing. >> Charles would have polished it. I think he would have liked the artful
arrangement of the tubes, though. Charles, leave a comment. Let me know.
Did I do okay on the tubing? Even though you know as well as anybody that I did
this mostly to save time. >> Yeah, he would have hand bent them. They would have been made of metal and they
would have been like painted. >> Yeah. >> And perfectly polished.
>> But you know what? I think we did a good job. >> What are we going to do with the other 20? We start a system builder and people
can pay an exorbitant sum for Elijah to
hand build our signature NBX2 system.
I am very down. But you will get no more videos from me while I do that. See,
here's the crazy thing, though, is that even though we didn't pay for these
cases, the cost in labor to build in
them is so high >> that we could have bought a different
case, >> almost any other case.
>> And I know a lot of you out there are going to be like, you guys should build in them for charity or whatever. But
like unless we were operating this, this took
so many hours to build in >> and we took so many shortcuts compared
to what you probably should do. >> I can see why it wasn't commercially
successful. But I also cannot help but appreciate the passion and the artistry
that went into the creation of it. >> It's pretty amazing. >> That's the bottom line.
>> No, that's not the bottom line. The bottom line is,
