1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240
apple may have made some progress on the new 2019 mac pro but even if we can't

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:13,200
beat them to market we are still dedicated to finishing off our custom

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,960
overclocked 2019 hack pro and while we

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,520
were able to get to the point of test fitting everything last time today is

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,080
gonna be a much more complete build and everything you see in front of me 1200

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:29,599
watt power supply new SSD that works properly on our motherboard custom cable

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,439
mod cables uh these brackets that we

8
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:36,719
need to fit everything together all of that is going in including tubing

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:42,160
so we can get to the point where we can actually leak test our water cooling

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,320
loop and find out how ready to go this

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,000
thing is speaking of ready you were ready for this segway weren't you ridge

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,240
so because of how cramped everything in this build is going to be we actually

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,320
need to install all the components of it in a specific order so we're starting

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:18,240
here with the fittings on our motherboard both for the CPU as well as

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,439
for this bits power vrm block that we've pre-installed on the board now i know

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,119
some of you are going to be disappointed but again due to the cramped nature of

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,119
the build we've opted for soft rather than hard tubing so my apologies but

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:35,040
with the way that some of these runs need to go it was not going to be realistic to

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,920
hardline to this thing now that our fittings are on the board we're going to

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,640
lay down our power cables that need to run behind the board approximately where

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:47,119
they need to go so you probably noticed that our board has two 24-pin power

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,520
connectors we don't need to use both of them so we're just going to use the one

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,520
i'm going to run that right about yeah

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,840
then we've got two dual 8-pin pci express connector cables

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,880
here and these are long but they need to go a

29
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,479
long way so we're going to run these right about there

30
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:11,440
with our cables in place the next step is to install our motherboard tray and

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,560
this has gotten some pretty great modifications since last time it went on

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,920
a bit of a diet so it's lighter and it's

33
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:23,360
got a really clever little mounting mechanism that uses these uh

34
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:25,440
kind of these ball and socket

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,760
joints here to just watch this

36
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,440
snap snap snap snap and it just holds it in place like

37
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,160
that we have screws too right awesome

38
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:41,440
and i put in all of them

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,440
so i guess i don't really need to

40
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,440
now it's screwed in it's not going anywhere it's amazing what a couple

41
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:53,120
cables and a motherboard backplate do towards making something look like a

42
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,080
real case eh alright now it's time to throw in our motherboard which by the

43
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:01,840
way guys does still work

44
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,840
man this motherboard is like almost

45
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,080
comically large for this case okay and

46
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,319
down it goes there we go

47
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,319
that one should go in pretty good

48
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:21,120
next we're going to put in our graphics cards and while i'd love to tell you guys that we're going to put in our pci

49
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,280
slots today unfortunately these mounting holes for the radiator here need to be

50
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:30,799
moved down about three millimeters very very very small error and then also

51
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,720
we need to rethink the way that the top is done up here to account for the curve

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,440
of the case so once that's done we're gonna go ahead and recess the area

53
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,799
around here plop this in here and then once it's painted it should be

54
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,959
completely seamless i'm sorry but we're gonna have some

55
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,640
saggy graphics cards again but hey at least they're water cooled now

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:57,920
actually that one doesn't say too bad see it kind of rests on there oh yes

57
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:01,280
ah here we'll just put this wire here and then there you go

58
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,799
now it doesn't sag now we can go ahead and tube this up

59
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,560
that is looking sharp oh boy this is going to be a real tight

60
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
radius here

61
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,680
oh boy now it's time for us to mount our pump

62
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:23,440
to our radiator this isn't really my favorite mounting style from an

63
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:26,840
aesthetic standpoint but there just weren't really a ton of options for us

64
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:32,340
in terms of making it fit get in there you're red bastard

65
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,840
so then i'm just gonna put this in

66
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,960
that's uh i guess the res needs to go on the underside of the cables there or

67
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,440
what that is where our janky homemade bracket

68
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,840
comes in well it might be kind of flimsy and made of sheet metal but what it does

69
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:56,960
is gets our fittings out of the way of the motherboard oh

70
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,560
okay really not the best mount ever

71
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:04,160
guys don't think of it as flimsy and janky think of it as anti-vibration

72
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:08,160
fans will be at the front or on the yeah oh yeah yeah it's not

73
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,919
perfect but it might just be enough yep we've got a

74
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,840
little bit more access there that should be good enough now we just need to pull it back out

75
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:24,639
and do this run which is going to be really hard for us to get at once the

76
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,520
radiator is installed and bolted in and while we've got easy access to it we're

77
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,639
going to go ahead and throw on this other tube that's going to go over to our top graphics card and this one right

78
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,759
here that's going to go over to our vrm cooler for the motherboard the last

79
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,800
little trick up our sleeves wait what about the fans that go in the front of the red

80
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,639
six now we can throw our fans on the radiator uh we'll be using black ones

81
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:50,240
one other thing we're gonna change in the final build is the way that this

82
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:55,520
pressure mount for the front radiator works instead of just

83
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,120
sitting in it like this at the front of the case there's actually going to be a

84
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:03,280
locking mechanism at the top but for now we're just going to kind of wedge it in

85
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:07,840
there so bear with me here for a sec we will just deal with these

86
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,840
later

87
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,880
um like it's one thing to

88
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:19,680
cat out a model that everything fits into it's another to actually

89
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,199
fit them in yeah i need to get these PCIe cables

90
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,759
out of my darn way here oh yeah can you reach those for the

91
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,360
optical drive hey there we go

92
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:37,440
oh lordy i haven't even put the top one in yet oh i'm trying

93
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,720
there we go okay

94
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,720
yeah i might have had to do this before

95
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,840
nicholas do you want to hold this graphics card for a second

96
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,740
there we go and then if you just hold it kind of like that

97
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,479
can you do that okay cool

98
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:06,160
i got it i got it i'm getting over it

99
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,160
who's not getting over the lip now

100
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,199
that's definitely got some friction on it all right can i help you with this video

101
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:19,120
card now you did this definitely needs a thicker piece of

102
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,440
metal here i think yeah oh man

103
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:27,599
yeah i don't think there's any getting around it man this is one of the tightest builds

104
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:31,460
ever and i mean that in both senses of the word it's tight you know also it's like

105
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,360
really tight it turns out our measurements were ever

106
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,280
so slightly wrong for the vrm block and we might not be able to get away with

107
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,319
using full 25 millimeter thickness fan so for now

108
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,280
we're fitting in some of these slim fans from silverstone

109
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,160
and then do you mind actually supporting that bottom GPU just to touch them yeah

110
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:55,919
that's good okay then we need to rotate

111
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,360
this radiator into place and yeah

112
00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:00,800
we're just going to mash that against the back for now but in the final build

113
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,919
obviously that would be screwed into place

114
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:09,360
got all this space here no problem

115
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:09,360
just kidding power supply time

116
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:15,440
so it goes in here but i'm afraid i'm at

117
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,199
a bit of a loss as to how exactly this bracket figures into it

118
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,199
basically it's going to sit there oh my god

119
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,560
and just like that that's the mount and that's terrifying all right you know

120
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,320
what what the hey we might as well put this thing in right wait a minute so the

121
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:33,279
bracket needs to go on here

122
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,919
uh yeah what the f

123
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:43,039
and then the connectors need to go in what the f you know what i think we can

124
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,320
make it work though just need to

125
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,519
plug everything in ahead of time yeah this isn't too bad

126
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:56,000
and we're just plugging in one eight pin connector per all right actually CPU right

127
00:08:53,279 --> 00:09:00,240
okay so that'll be screwed in right there basically

128
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,040
and then this goes

129
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,839
right there basically

130
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:11,600
oh but this way ah oh wow

131
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,640
that is one trained cable right there all right it's in

132
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,920
so that goes there and then i got this now

133
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:22,560
and this one goes right there on the other side

134
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,800
there we go 1200 watt power supply

135
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:30,399
here can i have that that thing yeah perfect

136
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:37,680
there we go uh now i just need the last tube right

137
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:43,120
uh actually i think it's two tubes two tubes

138
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:45,600
where's my other last two oh oh oh

139
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:50,800
i didn't realize you didn't put this in oh crapsicles i guess i have to hook it

140
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,040
up if we're gonna be leak testing today shoot

141
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,800
okay i can do this i am strong

142
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,200
okay got it

143
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,800
it's on all right and then uh

144
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,440
so this one goes over to here

145
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,640
are you sure yeah this one looks really long

146
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,959
wow that's a little overkill

147
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,160
you just yep there's

148
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:26,959
what is it doing okay here we go

149
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,640
that is the most overkill thing we've ever done

150
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:36,959
he said while building a like spec for spec replica of the new

151
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,959
mac pro and i wonder why anyone would just

152
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,040
buy a mac seems crazy doesn't it

153
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,320
oh my god this would be basically impossible to hardline like anything can

154
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:53,600
be done you know blah blah blah human human

155
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,519
spirit etc ingenuity but like no

156
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:02,079
we really need to get the right size tubing for the final build

157
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,279
actually you know what would make it a lot easier if we just had a cup of hot

158
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,839
water oh yeah so as some of you noticed we've been a little wishy-washy about what

159
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:13,600
we're using for storage and that's because we had a little bit of trouble

160
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:18,480
finding an add-in card that supports multiple ssds like this one here that

161
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:22,959
has the plx chip that it needs to bifurcate the 16x slot or i guess what

162
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,640
is it called quadrifercate i don't know it doesn't is it still called

163
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:32,079
bifurcation if it's four way is it okay so this from amfel tech is

164
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:39,200
called the squid family rev 2.3 gen 3 m.2 carrier or

165
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:45,839
we might go with this SSD from a company called liquid either way we're going to

166
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:47,040
go ahead and install it

167
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:54,000
here we go in the slot right next to that GPU

168
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:58,399
and the crazy thing is we've got dual Radeon 7s in here now we've got a high

169
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,560
speed what is this like a three terabyte SSD or something stupid like that yeah

170
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:09,120
and we still have four pci express slots for further expansion

171
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:15,440
oh what do you got there um just recently oh awesome so this is our

172
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:18,240
ac wi-fi and bluetooth 4.0 add-in card

173
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,800
that apparently is macOS compatible so we can throw that on it is going to live

174
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:27,600
in that yeah it's going gonna be a little hard to get out right now

175
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:32,720
what do we think that look pretty good yeah we'll figure the wire out later

176
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:37,600
okay so sorry i i stand corrected three pci express slots for expansion now oh

177
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,639
yeah uh how are we dealing with the power cord for the power supply

178
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,880
basically under here you'll just plug it in cool

179
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,000
we're still roughly out of the way can we get it here

180
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:53,279
um no shout out to oh canada supply for this

181
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:56,800
awesome workshop so we promised leak testing but

182
00:12:54,959 --> 00:13:01,440
this doesn't look like water this is actually a fun new toy we just got our

183
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:06,720
hands on from ek and what it is is it's a way of pressurizing your water cooling

184
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,519
system with air then if you have any air

185
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,720
leaks you can assume that your loop well leaks and how does this work exactly

186
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:18,160
which one do we hook up to does it matter um we can pull off

187
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:22,320
any of the easy fittings easy fittings i know yeah sure let me get right on that

188
00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:29,120
so what i'm doing right now is i'm plugging this graphics card block right here

189
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:33,279
all right then i'm hooking the fitting that was screwed into it into my

190
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:38,079
pressure tester now we pump you up

191
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:48,720
now we play the waiting game

192
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:51,040
two hours later we're back and it's all

193
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:55,360
good so we can go ahead and disconnect this we know our water cooling loop is

194
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,360
gonna work now

195
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:06,160
so all that's left is to close out this video by

196
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:10,560
closing up our machine but there is one more surprise for you

197
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:15,440
ladies and gentlemen ah yes

198
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:21,519
i'm sure you didn't expect an LTT project to not have any RGB

199
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:28,560
yes my friends we are actually going to be replacing the stock apple logos with

200
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:30,399
LTT logos complete with RGB backlighting

201
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,880
so check this out basically it's just an acrylic puck that

202
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:37,839
has an LTT logo etched into it we're probably going to have to do some

203
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:40,560
sanding on the top and we may have to coat the back of it in order to get a

204
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:47,360
nice even amount of lighting once we've got leds around the edges but man am i ever

205
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,480
thrilled with how this build's going down honestly

206
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:54,959
this might be the mac that gets me to switch to a mac
