WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.360
it's been 84 years

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:12.400
but this

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:18.640
is the home stretch our og g5 case has been cut trimmed

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.359
sanded and given a new paint job and it's ready for the final assembly of our

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.840
stuffed to the gills hack pro

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:33.040
when we're done today it should be the only hackintosh that's not only capable

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:38.879
of running with the top spec 2019 mac pro

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:40.320
but even capable of overclocking past it

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:44.320
and when we're done you're going to know all about our sponsor ridge wallet ridge

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.920
wallet wants to redefine the wallet with its compact frame and rfid blocking

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:51.920
plates check out how they can keep wallet bulge down and use the offer code

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.920
Linus to save 10 and get free worldwide shipping

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:08.799
let's start with a look at our new

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:12.560
custom front panel so instead of usb 2

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:16.640
and firewire we've got two usb 3.0 type

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.880
a ports and a 3d printed panel with them

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:24.159
hot glued in place for a mostly seamless look here oh yeah and of

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:26.240
course like the original front audio and

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:32.880
we've got the original power button still in there turning it around gets us

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:34.960
a look at the back panel now this thing

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:39.840
ended up getting broken in the shuffle of turning our workshop into a 3d

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:45.360
printing farm but after some minor repairs some jb weld a comedic number of

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:48.640
binder clips and some sanding it's finally ready to call

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:53.280
done overall fit and finish far exceeds what

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.680
my expectations were for this project it's not perfect

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.320
nothing is perfect but from a reasonable distance away you would be hard-pressed

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.280
to look at this case and go like oh yeah those usb ports aren't supposed to be

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.360
there that's not supposed to be an inverted

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.640
atx layout one of the goals for this project was to have the original side

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:19.360
panel latching mechanism still intact when we finished and i'm happy to say

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.239
that we've achieved that some g5 case mods

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.000
just get by with you know screws or whatever else but

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.959
we really like this mechanism and we want it to be as g5 like as possible

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.400
well you know aside from everything so the first thing we're

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:38.480
going to put in is these modified radiator mounts which are going to allow

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.959
for an easier install of our 360 millimeter rad in the front in a normal

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.120
pc case obviously you would just screw them in from the front but that would

00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:52.400
totally wreck the clean look i don't want it to be obvious oops other than

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.480
the color that this is not just

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:59.360
a mac we figured out our fan mounting but we actually realized that the

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:04.480
RGB strips were not in place around the LTT logos after one failed attempt to

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.560
put them on we've got another effort ready for you guys here i'm just going

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.120
to give it the old oh

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:18.080
yes does that look cool or what ladies and

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:19.680
gentlemen oh it unplugged oh lordy real

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.599
hopeful right up in here that everything's gonna actually fit it's the

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:29.360
first time actually laying everything out here uh front hd

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:34.640
audio got that high definition audio gotta try to not get any cables like

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.080
right across the logo here all right i think this is it motherboard tray is

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:43.040
going in now hopefully this will be the last time but i imagine we'll have made some sort of

00:03:40.959 --> 00:03:47.440
mistake or other wait oh boy we're gonna have to mash some cables flat here boys

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.640
the motherboard tray i'm screwing in right now serves two purposes one

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:56.239
is it gives me somewhere to route cables because

00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:00.640
unlike the mac pro the hack pro needs cables and number two is it allows us to

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:04.879
adapt the original mounting holes which is what we're screwing into to whatever

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.480
standard this is at this point we're ready to start putting hardware in we're

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:13.599
going to start with the radiator that now has

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:17.280
color coordinated anti-vibration doodads on it oh boy it's going to be a tight

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.280
fit ladies and gentlemen triple radiator in the g5

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.759
oh wow we got to be real careful not to ruin

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.440
this here wiring on the power button hey i didn't notice how fragile that is

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.120
uh should we put some hot glue on that don't want to accidentally put too much

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.880
strain on these really fragile connectors here oh

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.080
well that's definitely a tight pressure mount now that we're ready to begin

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.840
building in earnest let's run through the hardware we're using i would forgive

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.600
you for having forgotten we're using an aorus c621 extreme motherboard with an

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:57.040
Intel xeon w3175x28 core and

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.440
check this out a custom vrm water block

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:04.880
that was uh altered for us with two inlets and two outlets because of the

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:10.000
unique design of our case that it needs to fit in we're using a velocity ws

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.600
water block that's cut away about three pounds this thing's absolutely

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:19.440
incredible 384 gigabytes of Corsair vengeance lpx

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:24.080
memory and we've got so many expansion cars oh right silverstone strider

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:29.759
platinum 1200 what's super small 1200 watt power supply and then we've got

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.880
dual Radeon sevens oh yeah

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:35.759
we've got 10 gigabit networking we've got wireless

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:40.560
networking and bluetooth hopefully macOS compatible and of course to match the

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:46.080
high performance SSD in the mac pro we have a high performance liquid SSD in

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:51.440
our hack pro there's all this water cooling shiz over here a power

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:57.840
supply bracket doodad some underwear lttstore.com i still can't stand

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:59.520
mounting cpus and lga 3647 there's this

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:04.080
see you take the cover off and there's just no mechanism there's this carrier

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:07.520
that you kind of clip onto your cooler or you can put the thing in the clip on

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:12.080
the thing i'm actually just going to ditch the carrier i really don't like it

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:16.000
so i'm going to put the CPU in here a little wiggle wobble get some paste on

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:20.160
here i'm going to be using the the x marks the spot with some extra

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.600
decorations method here i wonder what's going to trigger people more my thermal

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:29.039
paste application here or the fact that i'm uh giving my block a little wipey

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.680
wipe with my shirt lttstore.com oh yeah

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:36.000
the final meltdown it's the last time we're building this

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:43.039
computer now we can install our RAM obviously 26 66 megahertz RAM is not the

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:48.479
fastest anymore but given that these are 32 gig

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:50.479
sticks and they're running at cl 16. i'm

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.960
expecting our performance to be adequately decent and the motherboard

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:58.479
goes in now this is about to get heavy just settled on my lawsuits

00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:04.560
these are going to go over to the graphics cards so what you're looking at here is about how clean the cabling is

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:08.319
going to look for the finished rig now it's time to install our wi-fi and

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:11.759
bluetooth cards so wi-fi is handled through the pci express slot and

00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:16.479
bluetooth is handled with this usb header so we're going to use the very very top

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:21.360
slot for that this is going to be one aesthetic disadvantage of the hack pro

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:24.479
the fact that it needs things hanging out the back of it

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:29.680
this graphics card is one of the more controversial steps in our build we're

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:32.639
installing it in a pci express 8x slot

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:37.120
rather than a 16x slot we left that full bandwidth slot for our SSD you might

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:41.520
prefer a different approach now i can go ahead and install the first

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:45.840
of our power connectors 10 gig network card goes next what's cool is when we're

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:50.319
done we'll actually still have two expansion slots left in our system need

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:52.960
just a little bit more slack there we go

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:56.800
and graphics card two

00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:01.039
is powered up i started up some of the tubing you can see i've got the gpus

00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:06.240
plumbed together i've got this one over to the rad this is going to look a little weird you

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:10.000
see this is going to kind of run over here that's because the outlet from the

00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:13.599
pump comes over here and then it's got to go into the inlet of the CPU block

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:17.840
last time we tested this we had them the other way around the performance was not

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:22.319
great while i'm working on this i can tell you guys a little bit about the

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:25.120
process of actually painting the case so

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:30.240
step one was stripping the anodizing off of the original case one of the easier

00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:32.479
methods is to use easy off oven cleaner

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.320
so you spray it on let it sit and wipe it off just in case it's not obvious by

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:39.039
the way be sure to wear personal protective equipment because that stuff

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.839
is bad for you also be sure to give the part a good

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:48.720
rinse because otherwise the cleaner is going to continue to eat away at the

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.720
aluminum and you don't want that

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:55.839
now instead of hard sanding we opted to use a soft wire wheel to

00:08:53.200 --> 00:09:01.120
both rough the surface and to get rid of any excess oxidation from the cleaner it

00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:07.839
was a long process but the thing is for any good paint job it's like 80 prep

00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:11.040
20 painting so after that it was just a wipe down with isopropyl alcohol to make

00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:15.920
sure that it's clean and there's nothing that's going to get in the way of the painted hearing

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:19.440
and it was time for priming with all the pieces laid out it was sprayed a couple

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:23.920
of times lightly then it got a heavier finishing coat being careful not to get

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:29.200
any runs those will show through to your final product unless you let it

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.880
completely dry sand it down and then re-coat it which is a real hassle

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:36.880
for paint unfortunately we just used a regular

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.200
flat black enamel that you can get at home depot it's not the best but the

00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:44.399
upside is that the case actually got painted instead of us just waiting

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:49.040
around forever for the guy who was supposed to do this thing professionally

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:52.399
for us it did have kind of a horrible spray pattern even compared to the

00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:57.360
primer that we got from the local paint shop but a few light coats with a heavy

00:09:54.560 --> 00:10:01.920
overlap followed by a wet coat and then of course some clear coat to improve its

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:06.959
durability a little bit and we've got what i would consider to be a like a a

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:11.360
three foot paint job like i'd say from outside of three feet

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:16.560
it looks pretty darn good one of these runs is a little tricky here

00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:20.160
i gotta get from this guy over to back here

00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:23.839
i remember this from last time it was tricky then and it was tricky now these

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:29.200
fittings are great oh yeah we'll have the links to everything we're using in the video description as usual

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:33.279
oh yeah oh yeah i think i gotta take like

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:37.040
a good solid inch off this thing i did not get the length right on that it's

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:41.760
good i think i got it actually there we go this is actually going way smoother

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:45.360
than i expected one what was that

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.880
it sounded like something fell didn't it oh here i found it it's fine it's all

00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:53.360
good after all this has been through like everything guys like flexing the

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:57.279
arms over the chassis without the paint cracking it kind of kills me to do this

00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:03.839
but we told ourselves this is the final build day this is it

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:08.480
so we're putting some 3m vhb tape on the bottom of the radiator

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:12.880
and we are taping it into place i'm so sorry i'm so sorry everyone i

00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:16.640
apologize to all of you hold on don't move it i got to move it so that i don't

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.959
accidentally clamp down on the tape okay it's in

00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:25.600
there easy now all we need is to basically

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:30.079
plug in power and fill it with water i couldn't watch nikolas hot glue in the

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.800
power supply cables for our modular power supply i mean what's the point of

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:38.720
a modular power supply if you're going to glue in the cables so i'm going to install our two 8-pin CPU power

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.680
connectors while he does that i at least i hope i can this is one's going to be a

00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:45.760
little bit tricky to get in here now that i have permanently

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.440
taped in the radiator in nicholas's defense he did warn me about this now

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:52.480
we've talked about this in previous installments but we've never actually

00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:56.399
shown it working and understandably quite a few of you were confused by how

00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.120
the modular power supply was supposed to get in here so this

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:04.079
plugs into all these loose cables down here at the bottom

00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:10.440
and then screws in from the bottom of the case then the power supply

00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:10.440
basically goes

00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:18.639
all the clips are cut off so the whole thing just goes in there like that and

00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:23.360
is held in by gravity arguably this is not the best

00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:27.839
but whatever where's your

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:32.079
g5 hackintosh all right uh what is this for

00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:36.959
that is for the can we just cut most of them off yeah we

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:39.760
can ah well we should do that then as long as you cut them short enough that

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.519
they can't touch each other you shouldn't have any shorting problems

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:50.079
there see how it looks fine just fine okay well some of the labels fall off

00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:54.160
it's fine i'll figure it out put that on there

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:59.040
route kind of over here and around there we go so all this

00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:03.120
that's not the most graceful thing ever but it just kind of

00:13:01.040 --> 00:13:06.399
just kind of jams in here oh yeah

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:10.160
oh yeah that's fine i ended up having to do a little bit of hot glue surgery on

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:15.600
the interface here after actually installing it in the case but everything

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:17.120
seems to be solid now so let's hope

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:21.279
that this lines up and this will be the last time we put it in hey

00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:27.360
there it goes let's hope i put this on the correct way oh look at that i did

00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:31.680
that plugs in right there and this is it

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:36.160
this is the first time you guys are seeing

00:13:32.959 --> 00:13:38.000
the final configuration

00:13:36.160 --> 00:13:41.920
so all the fans are plugged in we're just using y cables so that we can use

00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:46.639
the handful of motherboard headers over here to power them the pump is plugged

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:52.720
in we've got the RPM sense over on the CPU opt header over here

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:55.839
we've still got two pci express slots open we would love to use one of them

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.959
for Thunderbolt but still some troubleshooting required in order to

00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:06.079
find out if that's going to work in the meantime let's fire it up

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:07.440
just kidding just kidding bad jeebies

00:14:06.079 --> 00:14:11.600
we're gonna fire it up before we put the side panel on we managed to find two

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.959
funnels so i'm kind of thinking is you can't spell funnel without fun

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:22.639
i know it i know it okay

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:26.320
here we go you want to uh plug in the bottom right

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.560
angle yeah we need a thing is we need a right angle power

00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:35.040
connector on the bottom there because it's kind of low profile i really hope

00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:38.399
the power button works two radiators and all this tubing is a lot to fill this is

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:42.240
going to take a few rounds with a tiny reservoir like this we're going for a

00:14:40.160 --> 00:14:46.959
continuous fill here now that doesn't sound like a good sign oh we're close

00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:50.240
there's lots that can go wrong while assembling a machine of this nature oh

00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:53.199
good the RGB logo on the back still works man i gotta say there's something

00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:58.320
kind of wrong feeling about disassembling this when we're done like we normally do hey

00:14:57.199 --> 00:15:02.399
what are the odds that's going to boot right up into macOS what are the odds

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:06.399
this these fans are running again let me have a look here

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:09.440
nope not yet give it time hold on wow that 80 mil fan just like perfect in

00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:16.240
there you and your pressure fits dude i can't say i approve of it

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:20.399
i guess i shouldn't install updates because hackintosh

00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:24.800
let's say later remind me tomorrow hey yeah like os updates

00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:27.920
heavens no okay cool we're connected to wi-fi though so

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:32.880
that's good we'll see if our wired network is working no way you said the

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:36.560
bluetooth didn't work oh wait spazzing out a little bit okay so we have some

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:40.320
work to do on bluetooth it does not like this mouse but this is also like Corsair

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:44.880
gaming now so you could just not like this mouse should we run a quick

00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:50.480
benchmark this thing is darn near silent isn't it oh wow the fans are off oh okay

00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.759
well that's cool well why don't we do like geekbench mac people like geekbench

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.320
right we haven't actually overclocked it at all yet either okay while this is

00:15:55.279 --> 00:16:00.440
running three months late and way over budget

00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:04.000
3275m here we go 19165 wait why are we so much higher

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:07.839
really are we going to be faster even before we overclock just because we're

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.720
water cooled and we can turbo hire dang this is going to be better than i

00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:13.920
thought there's a lot of places we lose we have no Thunderbolt yet even now that

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:18.240
this thing is up and running with great performance all that remains is some

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:22.240
software tweaks and driver optimization to get it running as smoothly as

00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:27.440
possible oh yeah and some overclocking so it's ready for the big drag race

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:28.959
against the real mac pro 2019 28 core

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:34.079
