apple may have made some progress on the new 2019 mac pro but even if we can't
beat them to market we are still dedicated to finishing off our custom
overclocked 2019 hack pro and while we
were able to get to the point of test fitting everything last time today is
gonna be a much more complete build and everything you see in front of me 1200
watt power supply new SSD that works properly on our motherboard custom cable
mod cables uh these brackets that we
need to fit everything together all of that is going in including tubing
so we can get to the point where we can actually leak test our water cooling
loop and find out how ready to go this
thing is speaking of ready you were ready for this segway weren't you ridge

so because of how cramped everything in this build is going to be we actually
need to install all the components of it in a specific order so we're starting
here with the fittings on our motherboard both for the CPU as well as
for this bits power vrm block that we've pre-installed on the board now i know
some of you are going to be disappointed but again due to the cramped nature of
the build we've opted for soft rather than hard tubing so my apologies but
with the way that some of these runs need to go it was not going to be realistic to
hardline to this thing now that our fittings are on the board we're going to
lay down our power cables that need to run behind the board approximately where
they need to go so you probably noticed that our board has two 24-pin power
connectors we don't need to use both of them so we're just going to use the one
i'm going to run that right about yeah
then we've got two dual 8-pin pci express connector cables
here and these are long but they need to go a
long way so we're going to run these right about there
with our cables in place the next step is to install our motherboard tray and
this has gotten some pretty great modifications since last time it went on
a bit of a diet so it's lighter and it's
got a really clever little mounting mechanism that uses these uh
kind of these ball and socket
joints here to just watch this
snap snap snap snap and it just holds it in place like
that we have screws too right awesome
and i put in all of them
so i guess i don't really need to
now it's screwed in it's not going anywhere it's amazing what a couple
cables and a motherboard backplate do towards making something look like a
real case eh alright now it's time to throw in our motherboard which by the
way guys does still work
man this motherboard is like almost
comically large for this case okay and
down it goes there we go
that one should go in pretty good
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
slots today unfortunately these mounting holes for the radiator here need to be
moved down about three millimeters very very very small error and then also
we need to rethink the way that the top is done up here to account for the curve
of the case so once that's done we're gonna go ahead and recess the area
around here plop this in here and then once it's painted it should be
completely seamless i'm sorry but we're gonna have some
saggy graphics cards again but hey at least they're water cooled now
actually that one doesn't say too bad see it kind of rests on there oh yes
ah here we'll just put this wire here and then there you go
now it doesn't sag now we can go ahead and tube this up
that is looking sharp oh boy this is going to be a real tight
radius here
oh boy now it's time for us to mount our pump
to our radiator this isn't really my favorite mounting style from an
aesthetic standpoint but there just weren't really a ton of options for us
in terms of making it fit get in there you're red bastard
so then i'm just gonna put this in
that's uh i guess the res needs to go on the underside of the cables there or
what that is where our janky homemade bracket
comes in well it might be kind of flimsy and made of sheet metal but what it does
is gets our fittings out of the way of the motherboard oh
okay really not the best mount ever
guys don't think of it as flimsy and janky think of it as anti-vibration
fans will be at the front or on the yeah oh yeah yeah it's not
perfect but it might just be enough yep we've got a
little bit more access there that should be good enough now we just need to pull it back out
and do this run which is going to be really hard for us to get at once the
radiator is installed and bolted in and while we've got easy access to it we're
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
here that's going to go over to our vrm cooler for the motherboard the last
little trick up our sleeves wait what about the fans that go in the front of the red
six now we can throw our fans on the radiator uh we'll be using black ones
one other thing we're gonna change in the final build is the way that this
pressure mount for the front radiator works instead of just
sitting in it like this at the front of the case there's actually going to be a
locking mechanism at the top but for now we're just going to kind of wedge it in
there so bear with me here for a sec we will just deal with these
later
um like it's one thing to
cat out a model that everything fits into it's another to actually
fit them in yeah i need to get these PCIe cables
out of my darn way here oh yeah can you reach those for the
optical drive hey there we go
oh lordy i haven't even put the top one in yet oh i'm trying
there we go okay
yeah i might have had to do this before
nicholas do you want to hold this graphics card for a second
there we go and then if you just hold it kind of like that
can you do that okay cool
i got it i got it i'm getting over it
who's not getting over the lip now
that's definitely got some friction on it all right can i help you with this video
card now you did this definitely needs a thicker piece of
metal here i think yeah oh man
yeah i don't think there's any getting around it man this is one of the tightest builds
ever and i mean that in both senses of the word it's tight you know also it's like
really tight it turns out our measurements were ever
so slightly wrong for the vrm block and we might not be able to get away with
using full 25 millimeter thickness fan so for now
we're fitting in some of these slim fans from silverstone
and then do you mind actually supporting that bottom GPU just to touch them yeah
that's good okay then we need to rotate
this radiator into place and yeah
we're just going to mash that against the back for now but in the final build
obviously that would be screwed into place
got all this space here no problem
just kidding power supply time
so it goes in here but i'm afraid i'm at
a bit of a loss as to how exactly this bracket figures into it
basically it's going to sit there oh my god
and just like that that's the mount and that's terrifying all right you know
what what the hey we might as well put this thing in right wait a minute so the
bracket needs to go on here
uh yeah what the f
and then the connectors need to go in what the f you know what i think we can
make it work though just need to
plug everything in ahead of time yeah this isn't too bad
and we're just plugging in one eight pin connector per all right actually CPU right
okay so that'll be screwed in right there basically
and then this goes
right there basically
oh but this way ah oh wow
that is one trained cable right there all right it's in
so that goes there and then i got this now
and this one goes right there on the other side
there we go 1200 watt power supply
here can i have that that thing yeah perfect
there we go uh now i just need the last tube right
uh actually i think it's two tubes two tubes
where's my other last two oh oh oh
i didn't realize you didn't put this in oh crapsicles i guess i have to hook it
up if we're gonna be leak testing today shoot
okay i can do this i am strong
okay got it
it's on all right and then uh
so this one goes over to here
are you sure yeah this one looks really long
wow that's a little overkill
you just yep there's
what is it doing okay here we go
that is the most overkill thing we've ever done
he said while building a like spec for spec replica of the new
mac pro and i wonder why anyone would just
buy a mac seems crazy doesn't it
oh my god this would be basically impossible to hardline like anything can
be done you know blah blah blah human human
spirit etc ingenuity but like no
we really need to get the right size tubing for the final build
actually you know what would make it a lot easier if we just had a cup of hot
water oh yeah so as some of you noticed we've been a little wishy-washy about what
we're using for storage and that's because we had a little bit of trouble
finding an add-in card that supports multiple ssds like this one here that
has the plx chip that it needs to bifurcate the 16x slot or i guess what
is it called quadrifercate i don't know it doesn't is it still called
bifurcation if it's four way is it okay so this from amfel tech is
called the squid family rev 2.3 gen 3 m.2 carrier or
we might go with this SSD from a company called liquid either way we're going to
go ahead and install it
here we go in the slot right next to that GPU
and the crazy thing is we've got dual Radeon 7s in here now we've got a high
speed what is this like a three terabyte SSD or something stupid like that yeah
and we still have four pci express slots for further expansion
oh what do you got there um just recently oh awesome so this is our
ac wi-fi and bluetooth 4.0 add-in card
that apparently is macOS compatible so we can throw that on it is going to live
in that yeah it's going gonna be a little hard to get out right now
what do we think that look pretty good yeah we'll figure the wire out later
okay so sorry i i stand corrected three pci express slots for expansion now oh
yeah uh how are we dealing with the power cord for the power supply
basically under here you'll just plug it in cool
we're still roughly out of the way can we get it here
um no shout out to oh canada supply for this
awesome workshop so we promised leak testing but
this doesn't look like water this is actually a fun new toy we just got our
hands on from ek and what it is is it's a way of pressurizing your water cooling
system with air then if you have any air
leaks you can assume that your loop well leaks and how does this work exactly
which one do we hook up to does it matter um we can pull off
any of the easy fittings easy fittings i know yeah sure let me get right on that
so what i'm doing right now is i'm plugging this graphics card block right here
all right then i'm hooking the fitting that was screwed into it into my
pressure tester now we pump you up
now we play the waiting game
two hours later we're back and it's all
good so we can go ahead and disconnect this we know our water cooling loop is
gonna work now
so all that's left is to close out this video by
closing up our machine but there is one more surprise for you
ladies and gentlemen ah yes
i'm sure you didn't expect an LTT project to not have any RGB
yes my friends we are actually going to be replacing the stock apple logos with
LTT logos complete with RGB backlighting
so check this out basically it's just an acrylic puck that
has an LTT logo etched into it we're probably going to have to do some
sanding on the top and we may have to coat the back of it in order to get a
nice even amount of lighting once we've got leds around the edges but man am i ever
thrilled with how this build's going down honestly
this might be the mac that gets me to switch to a mac
