get it on camera okay okay i like ASUS they're a valued partner the quality of the products is generally pretty good and for the most part they try and do the right thing for consumers but the quality of their implementation of Thunderbolt on their motherboards has been so bad for so long that i just can't put off doing this video any longer because my wife won't let me because every time this is across multiple docks multiple cables and now multiple motherboards every time she tries to wake her display from sleep oh yeah they change the graphics card too it simply won't do it so this is it it's wife personal rig upgrade time and i am cutting ASUS out of the equation guys you gotta fix your stuff just like i'm gonna fix this segway to our sponsor you know foods is currently doing a huge product giveaway for LTT viewers just head to the inno foods youtube channel to get all the details we'll have it linked below one of the best things about having rack mounted pcs in a server cabinet is that performing maintenance is as simple as we're sliding them out and you're good to go now the astute among you will probably have noticed that the hardware in here is not exactly old and shouldn't really need an upgrade that's because as part of this process of getting my wife's workstation all cable managed up and upgraded to the latest tech i threw in an ASUS x299 prime motherboard with built-in Thunderbolt 3. the problem is that our Thunderbolt 3 is not working and with the distance between our server cabinet and her desktop monitor i can't just run a regular displayport cable they're just too flaky because this wasn't a planned project my parts choices were dictated less by what i think actually makes sense and more by what i had lying around at the office so i'll be using this 10 year old swiftech radiator with some screws that i found in a bin this ice ball reservoir which was the only res that i could find that was really designed to be mounted in a horizontal case it's even got RGB lighting although it uses a weird connector and i don't think i have any way of hooking it up and finally the z490 aorus extreme water force this is a motherboard that words cannot describe how little sense it would make to actually buy but it was one of the few sitting in our warehouse that happens to be not ASUS and have built-in Thunderbolt 3. so i'll be equipping this puppy which is the only reason i'm water cooling the system at all with a core i9 10 900k now i need to put this down i just looked up how much this thing actually costs it is 2 000 us dollars for that kind of price it better come with a flippin amazing accessory package i mean to be clear it's loaded for bear in terms of features it's got super robust power delivery it's got three m.2s 10 gigabit networking and two and a half gigabit networking and of course the big highlight is the included full cover water block what is going on here part of me feels like no matter how high end i go this motherboard is going to be shaming me for not spending more on the things i plug into it this RAM is particularly you know unworthy 16 gig sticks of 3 200 megahertz gross good lord that is a lot of thermal pads it's like a handful this does not look any less complicated than just buying a normal motherboard and water blocking it after them look at all these screws oh you've got to be kidding me here i was all set up to put on the thermal pads you don't have to apply them the first time that's only if you need to reapply it oh for crying out loud Gigabyte glad i saw that now i just got to plug the RGB connector in and line the thing up with the thing yeah yeah we good oh nice oh oh nailed it you know it's funny the wife made an offhand comment about how like she's not getting a five thousand dollar Intel extreme tech upgrade why didn't i get one of those for her i'm getting it for all the other staff i'm like han you're getting a 5 000 extreme tech upgrade awkward thing i just blew the entire budget on your motherboard i feel like a bad person soft tubing water cooling this thing but like i don't want to spend that much time on it come on this block has a super cool flow path so it can go down through the CPU and bypass here or go to the chipset so this helps keep the restriction low while also allowing it to do a great job of cooling everything involved and now that the hard part's out of the way all i gotta do is a quick board swap wait a minute normally when you got thunderbolts on board you have a displayport in how does that work see this is what i'm talking about you got your displayport injection here from the GPU a quick google search tells me this may work or i may need a Gigabyte titan ridge add-in card or something because it's water cooled there's really no way for me to find out without actually building up the system which is okay because the other motherboard that i'll use if this one doesn't work is also pre-water-cooled which is why i was resigned to just building a water-cooled system because they were the only two motherboards of Thunderbolt in the entire building can you imagine engineering a whole motherboard for like six people to actually buy it and then one of them to put an air cooled graphics card in it it's crazy how many builds i'm like pulling all the SATA devices out of now unless you need local storage which if you've got a nas you don't there's just no reason to have these cables anymore you can get eight terabyte m.2s i mean they're not affordable but you already got a two thousand dollar motherboard like good enough cable management for a wipey pc time for some water cooling it's got a mounting bracket so i can put it like there but wow how would that make any sense turns out it is not well regarded but that's okay because i'll be using a d5 to assist it so in the event that this does fail i'll be good to go i just gotta find somewhere to mount this stupid thing so that's it we're going right there oh sick yep oh shoot i kind of wish i'd plugged in the front panel connectors before i did this we're gonna get some sleep we'll come back to it tomorrow while i was sleeping a wild helper appeared as i was test fitting the radiator i was reminded of a couple of significant oversights in the design of this case which of course are on me since this is a custom design case in the front bay of fans there is interference from the usb ports and the power and reset switch so there's nowhere to really fit this tank without cramming it in there in a way that can break the power switch which i have done on my case and for this one there's a ridge here that makes it so that you can't actually get a screwdriver in to screw in the fans and the radiator and that is unless you like disassemble the whole thing and then put it together after the fact the boy says we're gonna go about it this way and just uh if we gotta sacrifice some cables and mash them then that's what we're gonna do now this is an older style radiator it's uh super dumb it has the actual tubes for the coolant right under where the screws go in can you imagine how that would cause a problem yeah so that means we have to double check the length of these screws and i think they're too long you can see they pop out a little bit fortunately we have new screws that i brought oh yeah it's absolutely perfect okay don't let it don't let it you got to go in straight yeah keep going there you go perfect now my boy we need to do who am i talking to the camera or the kid we need to do tubing because i don't want to do any maintenance on this ever i'm using an extremely non-porous walled tubing this is the same stuff that we used for six six workstations one CPU now that i'm on the last tubing run it can go one of two places it can either go back to the motherboard monoblock or we could water cool the graphics card which would make the whole thing actually look nicer and obviously the graphics card would then be waterproof i did bring a block it's like right here propping up the case i just really don't feel like it what do you think boy should we spend a whole bunch of extra time to water cool the graphics card no i mean what could go wrong let's actually try a smaller funnel that's tiny yeah well we're gonna go slow if we're gonna break it might as well at least get it on camera okay just pour nice and slow okay slow wait wait wait go back go back come back back okay go okay you can't dump it like that gotta go slow oh okay that's not bad now to find out if the thing still works uh boy you want to hit the power button oh that's not a good sign after fully stripping down the board it's no more obvious what caused the failure than before i thought now maybe some liquid got on there that i didn't notice but nothing it's bone dry so the only explanation i can come up with now is that maybe the mounting pressure of the water block was too much and crushed some of the traces inside the pcb because i can't see any physical damage on the surface i have had this happen before but i didn't think it was that tight at any rate back there is the new board a z490 aqua from azeroth see what i'm talking about the only Thunderbolt boards i had were water cooled ones so let's give this one a shot now that i'm using a completely different motherboard it feels only right to tell you a little bit about it the z490 aqua is from asrock it similarly comes with a pre-done water cooling solution except it doesn't cool the chipset it only does the power delivery CPU and 10 gigabit networking chip it also has three m.2s it also has Thunderbolt three it's got a couple of them it does have the DisplayPort in so i'm sure that this one's actually gonna work in my experience with asrock's Thunderbolt 3 at least on their x570 aqua has been pretty positive so far and it's a veritable bargain comparatively speaking at only 1100 us dollars so let's let's put it in finally fire this thing up kudos to asrock by the way this thing is so much more user friendly all the little grommets on the board are pre-applied there's so many fewer screws i'm i'm liking it i'm liking it it has not been my day i just realized i hooked the inlets of both pumps up to each other this thing would have like burned itself out or not freaking cooled at all if i had actually managed to turn it on with the previous motherboard not that that was the problem with the previous motherboard because we never got that far but also all these tubing runs just need to be redone now because they're not quite long enough to reach where they now need to go so what happens when you're like you know i'm feeling ambitious i'm not just gonna fix the wife's machine i'm gonna make a video about it and i don't even need no stinking film crew i'm just i'm yolo in it find out if it works all right there we go oh we got a display i just got to get this stupid reservoir filled takes forever and it's in the rack so all that remains is to leave this for one minute and let the screen go to sleep and see if it wakes up finally test time yay that was all i asked thank you asrock and thank you to our sponsor do you need to
