WEBVTT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:42.440
happening so I've got everything scattered like all over the place here's

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:44.640
my T Virus res there we go I guess I

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:48.360
could actually do something about the exposure level there there you go

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

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:58.079
solder things like custom cables and whatnot there's my tubing that I'll be

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:02.120
using there's my double-sided velcro which is freaking awesome my backpack

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.040
with all my tools there's some adapters so those are some mox2 quad

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

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

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.960
about as spread out as anything check this

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:25.400
out there's my quad radiator sitting here on the table along with my mCP 655

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

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:33.280
be using that power supply either that's for something else as well Acer notebook

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:39.920
also for something else so oh yeah this tj10 also for something else so let's

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:42.560
get into the actual personal rig itself

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.320
I'm still going I blocked all the light still going with the XFX 80 plus

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:52.159
Platinum th000 wat power supply for the main reason that the fan doesn't turn on

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.799
when the system is not using any power

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

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

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.960
there you can see the cables are being routed behind the motherboard tray like

00:02:04.039 --> 00:02:12.560
I had planned the ASUS Zonar card actually has a custom sleeved connector

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.000
on it so this is a here we go four pin

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:18.560
Molex that I've sleeved using MD PCX

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.319
sleeving so it's extremely clean looking can't see any color not that there is

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:26.080
any color so there's some sleeving there

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

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:33.080
probably not going to overdo it so anything that's not going to be seen um

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

00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:41.360
keeping with my part of one of the themes for this

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.720
build which is that I'm not using individually sleeved cables I'm actually

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:49.519
sleeving two wires per cable for everything so the here you can see the

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:55.920
wires that are going to the GTX 590 classified from EVGA so that's uh again

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

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:03.400
two wires per sleeve again and same thing up there for the eight pin now

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.840
this isn't going to be visible but this is one of the digital temperature

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

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

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:19.920
that's going to control these fans and

00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:23.799
these ones right here because those are the ones that are really going to be

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:28.400
cooling the actual chipset here so that way the the temperature sensor directly

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.920
controls the cooling in the area around the temperature sensor

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.239
there actually I guess I'll just use the zoom instead of moving around so there

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:39.799
is the custom black wrinkle hold down on

00:03:37.239 --> 00:03:43.000
the Apple ghd limited edition goldplated water

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

00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.080
so I'll clean it up before I do the final build and those are ballistics

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:53.200
tracers in there right now but those are just a placeholder this painter's tape

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:57.879
is just to uh keep the t- virus reservoir from getting rued

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

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:08.599
crazy for planning to mount the PCI Express cables around it so I'm going to

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.840
be uh I'm going to be going on hold then

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:36.360
will be in the basement on the build um haven't installed any of the 5

00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:39.320
and A4 Bay connectors or 5 and a/ qu Bay

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.240
adapters yet that'll come later so those are right there I still have to clean

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:48.199
out my radiator so I'll be using a 10% vinegar uh 90% boiling water solution

00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:53.720
and then most people just flush them shake them out and then uh use them but

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

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

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.560
just going to let it run for a day uh with the vinegar solution running

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

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:12.720
out and then I'll uh do a couple flushes

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:17.120
with distilled to make sure that they're actually clean because I know there was

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:22.400
some some junk in my Loop before ah LEDs so I'm using UV LED

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

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

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

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

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.800
get away with without them being seen the trick with lighting is that you

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.919
should be able to see the light being thrown not the lights themselves cuz

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.440
they're extremely bright I may end up putting one or two

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:54.319
back here as well I really haven't decided yet one of the challenges is

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.520
going to be uh combating the blue LEDs that are also in the

00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:02.160
system um and that was uh wait where where are those coming from

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

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.160
this guy up um the cathode in there

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.840
makes the uh makes the coil in the T Virus glow so bright that it was

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:15.680
overpowering anything that I tried to do on the tubing because the tubing wasn't

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

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:22.840
want to end up with UV Blue glow on the

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:27.840
appropriate component so that'll be the UV Blue tubing the UV Blue fans and the

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

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

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

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

00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:47.759
really get a good feel for it with the uh light reflecting off it funny like

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.880
that but there you go um the back will

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.880
look kind of something like

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

00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:03.160
cuz I have an Essence one that I'm going to be using for my headphones

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:07.639
uh what else do we have on here oh yeah I guess I could show you

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.680
guys the back that probably should have occurred to me earlier so this is where

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.520
the T balancer is going to go all the connectors are at the bottom here you

00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:18.160
see got four or three pin connectors Molex for power this USB one right here

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

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

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:35.080
total of 960 gigs or something stupid like that um it's going to be

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:39.199
challenging getting the power in there you can see the sort of the breakout

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:58.039 --> 00:08:05.080
to sleeve this for the cathode that's inside the t- virus and then I'll

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:09.000
probably stash that here or here so behind the motherboard tray so basically

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

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

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

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

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.800
and then Splitters out to where all the fans go still haven't decided how to

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

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

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

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:47.399
place and then I'll just plug them in like here and have it just run

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:52.320
everywhere and I'll just use extensions to get it where it needs to go

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.399
so cable Management's coming in handy so

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.959
Cable Management here here and here were all cut this time around actually I

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

00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:05.399
tray cutout has been useful if nothing else for making the uh the T balancer

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

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:18.800
automatically USB 3 upgrade in the front done this is a fairly unique item right

00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:20.880
here it's that LG uh Blu-ray and can I

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:25.079
manually focus here yeah there we go that LG Blu-ray and HD DVD player so

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

00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:34.839
hard to find one I guess that's about it

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:38.839
sorry for the breathing throughout this video it sounds really awful but I'm not

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
