1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,080
so I'm actually finally working on it the personal rig is in progress and I'm

2
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:13,559
I'm really going to build it this time you guys so I've got the case back for Mountain mods it's got a glorious black

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,439
wrinkle finish on it you can't really see it too well in this light but yeah

4
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:22,880
there we go that's not too bad looks just just Beast there's a couple small

5
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:28,199
imperfections on the case but I'm over it I've I've gotten over it so I'm not

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,480
over it but there's not a whole lot I can do about it at this point short of

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:37,239
re stripping and then rep powder coating the case which is probably going to cost me around 500 bucks so it ain't

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,440
happening so I've got everything scattered like all over the place here's

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,640
my T Virus res there we go I guess I

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:48,360
could actually do something about the exposure level there there you go

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:53,559
there's the t- virus res there's my soldering iron so I'm using that to

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:58,079
solder things like custom cables and whatnot there's my tubing that I'll be

13
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:02,120
using there's my double-sided velcro which is freaking awesome my backpack

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,040
with all my tools there's some adapters so those are some mox2 quad

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,439
SATA adapters that I may or may not be using to power the drives there's my

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,479
front Bay radiator so it's a dual 120 mil actually it's funny my radiators are

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,960
about as spread out as anything check this

18
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:25,400
out there's my quad radiator sitting here on the table along with my mCP 655

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,799
pump I won't be using that Luna block so that's that's for something else won't

20
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:33,280
be using that power supply either that's for something else as well Acer notebook

21
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:39,920
also for something else so oh yeah this tj10 also for something else so let's

22
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,560
get into the actual personal rig itself

23
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,320
I'm still going I blocked all the light still going with the XFX 80 plus

24
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:52,159
Platinum th000 wat power supply for the main reason that the fan doesn't turn on

25
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,799
when the system is not using any power

26
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:57,560
uh like when it's under idle I can really hear my breathing in this mic I'm

27
00:01:55,399 --> 00:02:02,200
using a bit of a different mic setup so bear with me here guys the r card down

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,960
there you can see the cables are being routed behind the motherboard tray like

29
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:12,560
I had planned the ASUS Zonar card actually has a custom sleeved connector

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,000
on it so this is a here we go four pin

31
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,560
Molex that I've sleeved using MD PCX

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,319
sleeving so it's extremely clean looking can't see any color not that there is

33
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,080
any color so there's some sleeving there

34
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:29,280
making C custom cables like this is most of the work of a build like this and I'm

35
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,080
probably not going to overdo it so anything that's not going to be seen um

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,480
I don't think I'm going to put this sort of level of detail into it this is

37
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,360
keeping with my part of one of the themes for this

38
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,720
build which is that I'm not using individually sleeved cables I'm actually

39
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:49,519
sleeving two wires per cable for everything so the here you can see the

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:55,920
wires that are going to the GTX 590 classified from EVGA so that's uh again

41
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,519
two wires per per sleeve there's the 24 pin so if you count them 1 2 3 4 5 six

42
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:03,400
two wires per sleeve again and same thing up there for the eight pin now

43
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,840
this isn't going to be visible but this is one of the digital temperature

44
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:10,400
monitors that I'm going to be using from the T balancer so that's going to tuck

45
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:17,560
back there so that you don't actually see it so that's the one that I'll be using to monitor air temperatures and

46
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,920
that's going to control these fans and

47
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,799
these ones right here because those are the ones that are really going to be

48
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:28,400
cooling the actual chipset here so that way the the temperature sensor directly

49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,920
controls the cooling in the area around the temperature sensor

50
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,239
there actually I guess I'll just use the zoom instead of moving around so there

51
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:39,799
is the custom black wrinkle hold down on

52
00:03:37,239 --> 00:03:43,000
the Apple ghd limited edition goldplated water

53
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,799
block and the focus isn't quite right yet there we go it's a little bit dirty

54
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:49,080
so I'll clean it up before I do the final build and those are ballistics

55
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,200
tracers in there right now but those are just a placeholder this painter's tape

56
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,879
is just to uh keep the t- virus reservoir from getting rued

57
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,079
when I do test mounts so it's going to go I had a few people tell me I was

58
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:08,599
crazy for planning to mount the PCI Express cables around it so I'm going to

59
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,840
be uh I'm going to be going on hold then

60
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:13,200
there we go on this side instead so it's going to look a little something like

61
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,479
that you can see I don't have a lot of clearance here with the SATA cable so

62
00:04:15,239 --> 00:04:23,040
I'm going to have to find myself a low profile left angle SATA power as well to

63
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,840
make that even fit in there and then I'm going to have one of these I'm going to

64
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:30,560
have to rotate a little bit and have one of these run straight down into the bottom which will go to the pump which

65
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:36,360
will be in the basement on the build um haven't installed any of the 5

66
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:39,320
and A4 Bay connectors or 5 and a/ qu Bay

67
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,240
adapters yet that'll come later so those are right there I still have to clean

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,199
out my radiator so I'll be using a 10% vinegar uh 90% boiling water solution

69
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:53,720
and then most people just flush them shake them out and then uh use them but

70
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,440
what I'll actually be doing is setting up my Loop my pump needs to be cleaned

71
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,520
too so I'll be setting up my loop on the kitchen counter in here and then I'm

72
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,560
just going to let it run for a day uh with the vinegar solution running

73
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:11,199
through it and then I'll just uh clean all that water out so I'll just set it up next to the sink clean all that water

74
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,720
out and then I'll uh do a couple flushes

75
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,120
with distilled to make sure that they're actually clean because I know there was

76
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:22,400
some some junk in my Loop before ah LEDs so I'm using UV LED

77
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,600
strips you actually won't be able to see the one that's back here so that's the

78
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:30,120
only one I've installed so far and the only reason I installed it is because it's really difficult to get at that

79
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:35,840
spot once the system's built the rest of them are going to go here two up here

80
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,639
and then either one or two here I'm not sure yet it's going to depend what I can

81
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:42,800
get away with without them being seen the trick with lighting is that you

82
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,919
should be able to see the light being thrown not the lights themselves cuz

83
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,440
they're extremely bright I may end up putting one or two

84
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:54,319
back here as well I really haven't decided yet one of the challenges is

85
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,520
going to be uh combating the blue LEDs that are also in the

86
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:02,160
system um and that was uh wait where where are those coming from

87
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:06,759
yeah I don't have what was the problem no I think the problem was when I lit

88
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,160
this guy up um the cathode in there

89
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:12,840
makes the uh makes the coil in the T Virus glow so bright that it was

90
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,680
overpowering anything that I tried to do on the tubing because the tubing wasn't

91
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:21,520
as UV reactive as this so I don't want to end up with a ton of blue light I

92
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,840
want to end up with UV Blue glow on the

93
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,840
appropriate component so that'll be the UV Blue tubing the UV Blue fans and the

94
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,800
UV Blue T Virus as well as this UV Blue cable although you won't be able to see

95
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
much of that one cuz it's just going to sneak in back here and that's about

96
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,720
that's about all you're going to see of it so the quad Rad's going to go in the

97
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,520
basement dual Rad's going to go in the front and overall it's going to look kind of like this although you can't

98
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:47,759
really get a good feel for it with the uh light reflecting off it funny like

99
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,880
that but there you go um the back will

100
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,880
look kind of something like

101
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,599
that haven't really decided if I'm going to leave the sound card in there or not

102
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:03,160
cuz I have an Essence one that I'm going to be using for my headphones

103
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:07,639
uh what else do we have on here oh yeah I guess I could show you

104
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,680
guys the back that probably should have occurred to me earlier so this is where

105
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,520
the T balancer is going to go all the connectors are at the bottom here you

106
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,160
see got four or three pin connectors Molex for power this USB one right here

107
00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:23,840
I'll probably unplug it some point but I need it in there just to program it and get it set up with the new profiles

108
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:30,120
these are double stacked so that's eight f120 ssds each were 120 gigs so that's a

109
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:35,080
total of 960 gigs or something stupid like that um it's going to be

110
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:39,199
challenging getting the power in there you can see the sort of the breakout

111
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,800
cables have to be coiled around a fair bit so they go here here here here and

112
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:49,000
here and they actually take up a lot of the cable management holes that I made for myself that are not actually stock

113
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,720
on the tj7 but I think I'm going to get away with it cuz these can pretty much

114
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,280
lay flat here all I have to get is some more fan wires run so I'll do some of

115
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,879
them up here some of them down here I have to get one inverter in and I have

116
00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:05,080
to sleeve this for the cathode that's inside the t- virus and then I'll

117
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:09,000
probably stash that here or here so behind the motherboard tray so basically

118
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:15,000
all I have to get up here is a couple molexes to split out into the quad satas

119
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,360
for these guys try to keep them wiring to a minimum because it's going to be a

120
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:21,879
real challenge I have to get a Molex up here to power this guy I have to have a

121
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:26,319
Molex down here for the pump and then I have to figure out how to run extensions

122
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,800
and then Splitters out to where all the fans go still haven't decided how to

123
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:37,120
power all the LEDs I might use something like a um like a three pin block like

124
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:41,479
comes with swift tax h220 water cooler where it's like a one three pin or one

125
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:44,720
four pin to like 84 pin uh splitter out so then I can run all the LEDs to one

126
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:47,399
place and then I'll just plug them in like here and have it just run

127
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:52,320
everywhere and I'll just use extensions to get it where it needs to go

128
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,399
so cable Management's coming in handy so

129
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,959
Cable Management here here and here were all cut this time around actually I

130
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,440
think I had a little one here but I made a much bigger one uh the motherboard

131
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:05,399
tray cutout has been useful if nothing else for making the uh the T balancer

132
00:09:04,079 --> 00:09:12,040
actually fit so for those of you who don't know what a t balancer does it controls all of my fans

133
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:18,800
automatically USB 3 upgrade in the front done this is a fairly unique item right

134
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,880
here it's that LG uh Blu-ray and can I

135
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:25,079
manually focus here yeah there we go that LG Blu-ray and HD DVD player so

136
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:33,480
it's just I don't know it's kind of neat I don't use an optical drive much but if I do then I want it to be like a sweet

137
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,839
hard to find one I guess that's about it

138
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,839
sorry for the breathing throughout this video it sounds really awful but I'm not

139
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:45,839
going to refilm it at this point so good night everyone thank you for checking out my personal rig update don't forget
