1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,110
OMG, a two fan GPU.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Oh, finally.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,599
GPU makers. What are you doing? It's the

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,920
same thing every generation. Massive,

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:22,480
carefully designed heat sinks, and then you go ruin it by slapping these dinky

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,720
$3 fans on them to try and keep everything cool. You might not realize

7
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:31,519
it, but those fans are one of the most common points of failure on a graphics

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,640
card. And with most of them either too difficult to take apart or impossible to

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:41,280
find replacements for a lot of the time your only options are to throw the

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:46,160
graphics card away or rip the whole shroud off and zip tie on whatever fans

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:50,000
you've got lying around. Well, Noctua must have been paying attention because

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:56,079
they did basically that with the help of ASUS. They came together to create the

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,920
ultimate RTX30 series cards and they're

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:04,080
glorious. So, what better way to celebrate them than by building the all

15
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:10,439
Noctua gaming PC. So, hop on board,

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:10,439
baby. Next stop, Brown Town. Choo choo.

17
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,200
It's no secret that here at LT, we are giant

18
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:26,720
enthusiasts of Noctua products. You'll find them in just about every machine we

19
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:30,240
build here at the office. And if our staff aren't going for an RGB look at

20
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,320
home, you can bet that they're using Noctua products for their zero

21
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,320
compromises approach to performance and reliability. And it's with zero

22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:46,000
compromises in mind that we began our Noctua PC by finding an excuse to use

23
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:51,840
the biggest fan they officially offer.

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,759
This 200 mm absolute unit of a cooling

25
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,119
fan. There aren't actually a ton of cases out there that support this size.

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Even then, you have to be careful because this fan is 30 mm thick. That is

27
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,799
5 more millime than the standard 25. We're going to have this and everything

28
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,200
that we've used linked in the video description below. So, just because a

29
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,440
case comes with 200 mm fan support from the factory does not mean that it will

30
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,800
support Noctuas as replacements. Looking at you, Lean Lee. Now, obviously a plain

31
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,360
black case on its own wasn't good enough for a machine like this. So, we had our

32
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:31,040
resident Da Vinci work his magic with the paint booth. And wow, does this ever

33
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:34,959
look amazing. Shout out Nicholas for really pushing this build to the next

34
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,760
level. Look at this. We've even got Noctua themed back PCI covers. I just

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,720
realized I never actually named the case we selected. It's the Masterbox H500

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,160
ARGB from Cooler Master. And the reason we chose it, aside from it fitting our

37
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:55,519
200 mm fans, is that this build is all about performance and air flow. And it

38
00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:01,920
certainly has that with a full mesh front panel that supports not just one

39
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,400
but two of our 200 mm fans. Look at

40
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,200
that. Isn't that incredible? And a large top vent complete with magnetic fan

41
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:12,800
filter that supports another two 140 mm

42
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:16,080
fans. And finally, a single 120 mm

43
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,920
exhaust at the back. Okay. Ah, the

44
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:23,200
process for installing these is a little fun. You got to pop the

45
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:27,440
pop the front panel off. Just like that. You got this nice little mesh dome.

46
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,080
Actually love this from an airflow perspective. And then this bad boy is

47
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:37,120
going to be an intake for us. And it's going to go a little something like fan

48
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,480
cable through. Oh my god. How are we going to get this fan cable through

49
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,480
here? I guess like that. Wow. Yep.

50
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,080
That's going to take up the whole space. All right. We're going to use Noctua's

51
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,280
cool little silicone vibration isolators to install our fans. So, you just pop

52
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,680
one of these bad boys through. A little something like this.

53
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:04,159
A little tedious, but does that look freaking amazing or

54
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,120
what? It's a giant wall of cooling

55
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:13,120
performance that you you simply cannot put anything in here that is not getting

56
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:16,079
a blast of fresh air. My one regret is

57
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:21,280
not enough knock to a fence. Thankfully, we have more. Oh, that's not

58
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,520
an NFA14, but that's okay cuz this is a

59
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:27,040
120 mil for the back. Oh my god, it's been so long since I've used these. I

60
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,840
forgot how you're supposed to install them. You put the silicone things in the

61
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:39,759
fan first. Oh, shoot. I need another one. Oh, so dumb. Yeah, they're all in

62
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:42,880
wrong. Oh my god, I had a brain brown

63
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:44,720
fart moment here. I totally installed

64
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,880
these wrong. It's been so long since I've used these. I normally just use

65
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,360
screws. You put the long side into the fan like I did, but you don't do it

66
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,960
through the case. That's what this little notch right here is for. That's

67
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,880
where the case sits. So, for those of you who were heading up until this point

68
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,960
in the video, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm fixing it. So then you Oh, wow. these

69
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,440
holes are really tight. Okay, it went. It went. Boy, was that ever a tight fit.

70
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,919
Look at that vibration isolating goodness. Look at all that play. It's a

71
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,600
good thing. Maybe there were people out there screeching that it's supposed to

72
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:22,160
go case side first when I did it the last time. I don't know, guys. I just

73
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:28,880
used screws so that I can talk about our screwdriver. ltstore.com.

74
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,240
Not yet. Soon. Yes. Got it. All right.

75
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,759
Now I have to line up four things at once instead of one at a time. And they're all flopsy. It's like getting a

76
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,759
flaccid thing into a tight thing, you know?

77
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,240
Hey, knock cable extensions. All right, let's put this back fan in. Yeah, with

78
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:53,199
properly sized holes, this is a fair bit easier. Boom. Done. Look at that.

79
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:58,720
Installed. This is glorious. I don't even want to cut off the little nubbins.

80
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,199
I say we keep them. Yeah, you can't even

81
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,240
see them. Our case wasn't the only piece that needed the Noctua treatment,

82
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,840
though, and our motherboard gave us plenty of opportunities to add color

83
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:12,080
accents. X570 boards in general, and our

84
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,400
Tough Series from ASUS is no exception, often include active cooling for the

85
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:22,240
chipset, giving us a perfect opportunity to replace that generic little whiny fan

86
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:27,280
with one from Noctua. So to begin our operation, we put our baby little 40x10

87
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,919
mm Noctua under the knife, removing everything but the impeller and the fan

88
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:37,680
blades themselves. Unfortunately, the heat sink shroud around the stock fan

89
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,560
didn't really accommodate our thicker Noctua replacement, which necessitated

90
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:47,280
some overly precise tormach action to make it fit. But you can see how well it

91
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,840
turned out. Enjoy it while you can, though, because by the time the build is done, you won't be able to see it

92
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,319
anymore. Oh boy. Well, that's not going to help. Turns out they do still need me

93
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:01,360
for something. Oh, I guess we went with a 1 TB WD blue because it didn't matter

94
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:05,520
what we chose because it's under a heat sink. If I was to choose an M.2 for this

95
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,199
build based on the overall theme of reliability, I would probably go with

96
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:13,520
something from Samsung. We don't have any experience with WD Blues dying in

97
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:19,199
particular, but based on the numbers out of Puget, Samsung makes shockingly

98
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,639
reliable SSDs. So, there's just a a

99
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:24,319
degree of trust there that I don't necessarily have for this particular

100
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:28,720
drive. On the subject of things you won't be able to see when we're done,

101
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:34,319
there was no way we were going to be satisfied with any old power supply. So,

102
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:39,440
knowing that Alex had already taken apart this AX600i

103
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:45,199
from Corsair, we thought it would be the perfect candidate for a little Noctua

104
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:49,599
operation. Little snip of the cables, followed by some solder action, and the

105
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,599
end result looks pretty darn near factory under this painted fan grill.

106
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:56,639
Not bad, right? I think we could have gone the Well, okay, there's some

107
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:00,319
there's some problems, but they're cosmetic. They're cosmetic. Okay, it's a

108
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,400
good thing we replaced it, too, because this fan ends up spinning up to its

109
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,400
highest RPM during boot. And the factory Corsair unit, in my opinion,

110
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,039
unacceptably loud. Easily the most noticeable one in the system. Though in

111
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,440
fairness to Corsair, it would have immediately spun down to like zero.

112
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:19,840
Okay, one thumb screw later. Power supply shroud comes off. It's actually a

113
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:25,120
very easy case to work in. Very standard. Oh, this feels so wrong. I

114
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:30,000
guess it doesn't really matter cuz we wouldn't see the fan anyway. It's

115
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,759
covered in this shroud. But okay, we'll

116
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000
know it's there. Brandon, this is what I was thinking when I lost my train of

117
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:41,120
thought. Corsair used to include and apparently still does little magnetic

118
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:47,040
replacements for the labels. Look at that. Ha, clean. Now, we are still going

119
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:51,120
to cover it though. Little probing tip. If you want to save

120
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:54,880
yourself some hassle later, you can pre-install your modular cables on the

121
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,120
motherboard and then run these as you're installing

122
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,959
the board rather than once you've already put heat sinks and everything on

123
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:06,240
here and it's real difficult to get at them. Couple other things we should

124
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:12,320
probably install on the motherboard before going any further. We've got an

125
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,800
AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X3D. It may only have

126
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:19,920
eight cores, but damn it, it uses their 3D VCH and is the fastest gaming CPU in

127
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:25,920
their lineup. We'll get that boy popped in there. And we've actually got a

128
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:30,160
second SSD. This is the one you guys are meant to believe we're booting off of,

129
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:35,680
but it's mostly just for show. This is a Corsair MP600 SSD. So, not even like top

130
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:40,959
of the line anymore, but we just liked it because we could put it here and put

131
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:46,160
a little Noctua fan on it and plug it in like there. Unfortunately, there's

132
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:48,240
nothing Noctua about our 64 gig kit of

133
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,720
3600 megat transfer per second crucial ballistics memory. We can't even put a

134
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:59,120
Noctua cooler on it unless

135
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:01,279
we make our own by 3D printing it. Yes.

136
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:05,360
Oh lordy. It's not the most elegant thing in the world. We're using

137
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:10,800
motherboard screw holes. See that? Standard ATX screw holes to get this bad

138
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:18,160
boy on here. But boy is that RAM ever going to be silent. Silent RAM. It's all

139
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:20,320
like but but not muted.

140
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Unfortunately, I managed to scuff our totally awesome professional rattle can

141
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:29,040
paint job a little bit here. But that's okay because I've got a little paint tip

142
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:34,480
for you guys. Spray some of your paint onto a plastic surface like this. Get a

143
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:37,120
little stick or something like that. Poke that in there. You can get some

144
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,079
little touch-ups going on in here. Come check this out, Brandon. How's that?

145
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,959
It won't have quite a perfect finish from 6 in, but from 6 ft, you'd never

146
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,680
notice it. So many things about this build feel out of water. But we finally

147
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:57,680
gotten to the CPU heat sink. And oh, come on. We got to go with the classic,

148
00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:01,519
ladies and gentlemen. That's right. We

149
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,920
we actually obtained a black Noctua fan

150
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:11,600
and then replaced it with a brown and tan one because Noctua PC. Wait, Cryore

151
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:18,959
thermal compound. Get this out of my face. Can't do the old Noctua PC without

152
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:20,640
using Noctua thermal compound. Jeez.

153
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:23,600
I guess that's what I get for asking stupid questions like, "Where's the

154
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,839
thermal compound?" Gee, I don't know, Lionus. Maybe in the box for the cooler.

155
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,680
You know, it was actually a very Noctua inspired process by which we brought our

156
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:35,600
screwdriver to life. I remember having a conversation with their CEO where I

157
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,160
said, "Well, to make the best fans, you guys must have the best engineers." And

158
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,160
he kind of laughs and he goes, "Well, no, we have good engineers, but it's

159
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,959
more about giving them the time to do their best work." And that's why it's

160
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,959
taken 2 and 1/2 years to make a screwdriver. Oh my goodness. There you

161
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:58,880
go. All right. One CPU cable. Ah. Ah. Ah.

162
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:01,200
two CPU cableh.

163
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:06,720
Oh, come on. Where is the other one? Corsair has these these heat shrink

164
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,639
tubes on their cables that Ah, there we go. We had wanted to have cable mod

165
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,079
cables for this matching our Noctua color scheme, but unfortunately there

166
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:19,120
was a shipping delay and they weren't here in time. Those eight pins would not

167
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:24,160
go in if they were not pre-installed at all. For our first screw, we're going

168
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,240
top right, which means we're going to be using a custom length motherboard screw.

169
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,200
This is because it's got to go through that 3D printed RAM cooler. Oh yeah,

170
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:37,519
it's threaded. Nice. We're glossing over a lot of the

171
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,680
cabling, but the summary is lots of extensions, lots of Ysplitters. We've

172
00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:45,360
got all of these fans plugged into the motherboard headers. Now, all we got to

173
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:51,120
do is get some LT Store cable ties. Now available in so many fun colors, though

174
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,600
unfortunately not brown. Now it's time

175
00:12:51,120 --> 00:13:01,279
for the centerpiece of our build, the collab you did not know you needed, the

176
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:03,600
ASUS X Noctua RTX 3070. Wait, what are

177
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:08,800
we putting a 3070 in here for? GPU prices are way better now.

178
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:13,920
Let's go for the newer 3080 edition, shall we? It looks exactly the same, but

179
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:20,320
that's not a bad thing. Everything about this design is performance first. From

180
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:23,440
the back plate to the massive 120 mm

181
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,079
cooling fans to the 4.3

182
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:31,040
slot thickness. Though I do have to say I wonder how much of the performance of

183
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:36,560
it is Noctuous fan engineering and how much is just that it has a massive

184
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:41,040
massive heat sink with ASUS added extra clearance here for the heat sink so that

185
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:48,160
the airflow could kind of blow out around the card better.

186
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Oh, probably lots. I'd buy this one

187
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:56,240
100%. Brandon, you don't get it. You don't buy Noctua components for the

188
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,560
looks. You buy them for the performance.

189
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:05,839
That's their whole shtick. No one will care what it looks like if the

190
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:09,040
performance is outstanding. Wow. Uh

191
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:12,399
even the M.2 way down here on the board

192
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,399
is I would say barely accessible. I

193
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:19,279
think I could probably swap it out, but it wouldn't be easy. We do get one

194
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:23,760
expansion slot. We've got this one PCIe by one down here.

195
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,760
So, that's good. Otherwise, this GPU is taking up the whole thing. As for cable

196
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,959
management for our power connectors here, rather than come down to the power

197
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:35,680
supply like this, we're going to go up and over, and we're going to strap it in

198
00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:39,920
really tight at the back to try to relieve some of the strain on our poor

199
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:44,959
PCIe slot here. So, bear with me. I wouldn't really recommend this, but I am

200
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:53,199
doing it. So, make of that what you will. Okay, let's see. Is it more level?

201
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,720
Actually, not bad. Well, bad, but not

202
00:14:53,199 --> 00:15:01,079
unattractive. All that's left now is to fire it up.

203
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:01,079
Time for the big moment.

204
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:09,120
Oh, yeah. You can hear it a little. You can hear it a little. The all knock to a

205
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:15,360
PC does make a little bit of noise, but give it a second. I suspect that's just

206
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:17,440
the GPU ramping up. Oh, it's the power

207
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:24,800
supply. Wow. Is that ever quiet?

208
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:28,079
That is amazing. My mic is right here. I

209
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:32,519
am literally whispering right now.

210
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:32,519
And I'm inside this computer.

211
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:44,160
Man, you can feel the suck, too. Not that it sucks, it just airflow. While we

212
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:48,399
apply our memory overclock profile, I can share with you some fun things about

213
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:55,279
our peripherals. This may be RGB up the butt, but what's that? Brown switches

214
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,279
from GaDon. And well, this is more just

215
00:15:55,279 --> 00:16:01,360
story time than anything else. This was the one gaming mouse we could find with

216
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,839
a fan in it. We really wanted to put a knock to a fan in there, but they don't

217
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:11,360
make one that small. So, it is now the loudest part of this build. Oh, wow.

218
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:17,600
What is this? Windows 95? What is happening? Allow me to just paint.

219
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:21,600
finish up my desktop wallpaper here. We're obviously going to have to get in

220
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:27,120
game for a while, but guys, I've got the panel closed.

221
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,920
This is so quiet.

222
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:34,639
Wow, our GPU is at 330 watts, running at

223
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:40,959
64°, and I can barely hear the bloody thing.

224
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:43,759
That is wild. How's our CPU doing? Oh, I

225
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:47,759
don't know. Maybe 67 degrees while drawing. Okay, that's only 62 watts. I

226
00:16:46,079 --> 00:16:52,399
guess that fan just hasn't even ramped up. I swear I can hear a computer over

227
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:57,920
on the ShortCircuit set better than I can hear this one. It is so quiet. This

228
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:03,120
is in game now. This is legitimately in game. The one thing the PC can't cool

229
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,120
though is me. Thankfully though, I have this.

230
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:14,959
See if we can do a little better here.

231
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,799
This is an actual match. Yeah. I mean, you got to test it in the real

232
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:23,600
world, Brandon. I don't know why the FPS counter is not working. That's extremely

233
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:28,720
frustrating. Pretty quiet, eh? This fan at the back is got some toast, though.

234
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,960
It's hot. Is it hot in there? Oh, here. Let me help you with that. That one's

235
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:39,280
pretty quiet, too. Uh, no. This one's pretty loud. Just Yeah, this is not an

236
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,000
actual Noctua product. Um, and it's not

237
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:46,480
very quiet. The rig though is the only awkward part of the conversation is the

238
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:52,400
price. We've got somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 worth of fans in

239
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,000
here. Well outside the budget of most people when it comes to configuring a

240
00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:02,080
gaming rig. But hey, you can't fault the performance or in my humble opinion, the

241
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:05,039
look, cuz this may be one of the most

242
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,640
ironically gorgeous builds we've ever done. If you guys enjoyed this video,

243
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:13,280
maybe you'll enjoy the closer look we took at the ASUS X Noctua GPU. It turns

244
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:17,200
out that the performance they've squeezed out of this thing and the

245
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:22,000
silence is not just as simple as slapping big fans on any old cooler.
