1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,080
ever seen anything like it where's the cable there's no cables what the 24 pin

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,360
8 Pin GPU power connectors they're gone

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,719
and yet it's working that's amazing it is amazing and to find out how it came

4
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:21,560
to be we're going to have to go back in time in

Linus top to bottom back to front I'm

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:56,559
expecting every aspect of the project stealth kit from Gigabyte to be an

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:03,039
interesting one starting of course with the PC DIY kit right here unlike a

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:04,799
normal be bones it only includes a case

14
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:10,400
and a motherboard pre-installed in the Box no cooler and no power supply and

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:16,119
also unlike a normal Bare Bones it includes one of the components that most

16
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,680
Gamers really prefer to choose for themselves rather than being locked into

17
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:24,640
one option A GPU that means you can have

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,960
any GPU you want as long as it's this RTX 3070 that's included in the box but

19
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:34,680
what's special about it this right here here the 8 Pin and six pin PCI Express

20
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,960
power connectors are actually on the bottom of the card where the PCI E slot

21
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,399
is now under normal circumstances these would be impossible to get at but in

22
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:49,240
this particular chassis which is specifically designed with this GPU in

23
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,479
mind there's actually a cut out here to plug in the power which raises another

24
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:59,320
question where the devil are all the other power connectors on

25
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:05,039
here there they are not only are our power connector on the back of the board

26
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,280
but even our front USB our fans our

27
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:12,200
front like power switch and reset switch and all that stuff everything is

28
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:17,120
actually on the back of this motherboard it's such a cool and honestly obvious

29
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,560
idea that it raises the question why didn't anybody do this before you see

30
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:25,319
main gear actually patented this concept

31
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:31,560
and pitched it to multiple PC component manufacturers back in 2011 including

32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Gigabyte so when they saw Gigabyte

33
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,560
release ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine so when

34
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:40,680
they saw the project stealth kit announced with them conveniently cut out

35
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:45,239
of the equation they were understandably mythed thankfully it seems as though the

36
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,000
two have patched up their differences since the kid is available either

37
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Standalone from Gigabyte or as a pre-built from main gear and I'm really

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,159
stoked on that because it means hopefully we can see more of this kind

39
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,239
of innovation I mean who doesn't like tidier builds with better air flow I

40
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,080
think the people want to see the board while I'm pulling this out I realized I

41
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,080
don't actually have to speculate about what happened between Gigabyte and main

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:11,879
gear yo Wallace how you doing I got my hands on a project stealth and it seems

43
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,640
to me that you guys kind of like patented this concept do you have any

44
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,640
comments on that at all there's a lot of challenges in building a motherboard

45
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,840
whenever the connector on the opposite side like that yeah but they figured it

46
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:27,879
out and I'm just really happy that able to Mar basically everything's good it's

47
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,799
all good man all right well I'm glad to hear that there was some conversations

48
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,879
that took place a couple months ago but we're excited to be working with them on

49
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,280
so well there you have it Gigabyte licensed the patent and everything is

50
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:40,239
good to go glad to hear it they thought I was going to build a computer but

51
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,959
actually I'm going to take apart a computer today oh yeah there we go wow

52
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:50,840
this just makes my brain hurt I mean it it's good that they went and they moved

53
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:54,560
everything to the back you know even SOS clear jumper and the battery here so you

54
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,200
don't need to access the front of the board after you built the computer which

55
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,840
is kind of crazy but it must have involved some pretty unique PCB layout

56
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,159
changes one question with respect to development is did they build this board

57
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,280
from scratch or did they kind of repurpose an existing design the closest

58
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:18,120
PL found in a couple of minutes was the z690 Aeros Elite ax there are some

59
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,959
differences this is only a ddr4 board

60
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:25,199
and this one's ddr5 which is our next kind of funny and interesting story here

61
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Gigabyte sent over all the parts for us to do this build and they included some

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,000
ddr4 memor so we're going to be popping that out for something else now I kind

63
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,280
of want to pull off the shield and just see what's under it it's like a Twilight

64
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:41,800
Zone thing or something you know or I guess the more upto-date reference would

65
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:48,840
be like a stranger things there you have it everything's just through holes but

66
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,160
they go the opposite way man from I mean

67
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:55,479
I guess they already do rearm mounted some stuff you'll see rearm mounted m.2

68
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,479
slots for example so they wouldn't have had to completely retool a manufacturing

69
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,800
line in order to run it through one way and then run it through the other way

70
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:08,400
but I'd still imagine there was some it took some kaj jiggering to do this it's

71
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:11,440
possible this is totally normal and I'm only noticing because I'm looking so

72
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,120
closely at the construction of this board but the two PCIe gen 4 slots down

73
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,479
here are using through holes for soldering and the Gen 5 slot is actually

74
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:26,000
surface mounted for now I want to take a closer look at this chassis because as

75
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,560
cool as project stealth is if it locked you into these components that would be

76
00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:32,639
a huge hit against its repair ability

77
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,240
and its upgradeability so I want to make sure that we're also compatible with

78
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,759
standard components and just from a quick glance it looks like we are

79
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,600
because other than these extra cutouts down here which realistically could just

80
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:48,280
be used as Cable Management under other circumstances there's nothing about this

81
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,319
that would prevent you from putting a completely standard motherboard and

82
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:58,479
standard graphics card in it Kos Gigabyte there in fact they've even got

83
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,319
an upright PCIe GPU Mount um if you

84
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:04,880
wanted to use a riser and like do that thing which you obviously wouldn't for

85
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,960
project stealth unless do they have another hole that corresponds to they do

86
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,039
not that's a missed opportunity Gigabyte to have a cutout right here then you

87
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,599
could have your PCI cables go up and you could do like a a vertical Mount as well

88
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:19,199
Jake's in charge of making sure I reach our production quota this week he's not

89
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,960
telling any stories about paint is he not yet so far I've managed to

90
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,960
disassemble

91
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,800
it all right goodbye let me just get

92
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:33,360
this thing back to original state here as I was looking up the front panel

93
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,919
connectors I got to thinking in an industry where you can't even get

94
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,360
everybody to agree how much spacing there should be between the positive and

95
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,400
negative connectors for the front power LED it's very unlikely we're going to

96
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:49,880
get all the major motherboard and case manufacturers to come together on that

97
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:53,960
CPU fans should go here and the 24 pin connector should go kind of somewhere in

98
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:56,919
here so even though the case might be able to be brought forward to a new

99
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,800
system I think if you want to take advantage of this stealthy feature that

100
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,199
you presumably paid extra for I actually don't know how much the Bare Bones costs

101
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:10,199
you could end up vendor locked which I'm never a huge fan of I'd rather see

102
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:15,000
standards and this is almost certainly a non-standard motherboard ATX in addition

103
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:20,879
to you know where all the holes go into it and stuff has a maximum depth I'm

104
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,639
pretty sure that this has got to be exceeding it having all this stuff

105
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,479
hanging off the B the labels actually on all these headers are super clear which

106
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,960
really goes to show how much easier building or pairing a computer could be

107
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:37,599
if you had the major players cooperating anyway plof wanted to talk about this

108
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:42,440
internal HDMI cable are they just reusing a

109
00:07:38,919 --> 00:07:44,440
chassis that used to have this as a

110
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:48,199
feature and then they just didn't want to pay to retool this plastic bezel cuz

111
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,960
I don't even think it's long enough to go up the back of the case on the

112
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,080
surface it appears that this GPU uses a super special layout like the

113
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,599
motherboard with these power connectors on the bottom but what's actually going

114
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:03,080
on here is that it's a short PCB card

115
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:06,800
see the card actually ends here and then there's a couple of little pigtails a

116
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:11,639
couple little leads coming from these flat PCIe connectors that we first

117
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:15,080
encountered on a Gigabyte RTX 390 on that Chino system recently and then they

118
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,199
come out to standard connectors that are just mounted to the back plate so you

119
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,080
see there's little cables there totally standard PCB other than that it's got

120
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,159
that weird flat connector what is the deal with that we figured out the HDMI

121
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:32,919
cable issue but it seems to be part of a deeper problem it's that Gigabyte mostly

122
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,839
just repurposed their C300 chassis which

123
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:39,080
was not actually designed in the first place for this project case in point

124
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:45,040
we've got a 3 pin fan connector here that you can either plug into the CPU

125
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:48,720
fan header which is not optimal or you can run down the front of your board

126
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:54,279
completely defeating the purpose of project stealth oh wow this cut out is

127
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:59,160
not actually quite big enough it puts a bunch of strain on the

128
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:03,200
plastic and that's not because this fan header there's not a CPU fan header it's

129
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:11,120
just because it's just really tight finally time to build we've gone with a

130
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:13,240
12700 whoop DDR5 memory 32 gigs 5600

131
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:20,399
megat transfers per second aora sent over their Gen 4 7,000 is that a model

132
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,160
or is that a read speed oh no it has a

133
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:28,440
big heat sink on it I can make it fit plof you ready

134
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,440
watch this oh yeah that brings us perfectly to the most exciting part of

135
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:38,800
our build Gigabyte had a scandal recently with power supplies blowing up

136
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,399
this one probably won't but dang it why

137
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,640
am I taking these screws out by hand when I have a trusty LT store.com

138
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,519
screwdriver you're going to end up with really long cables for how short these

139
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:52,000
runs are I could see people definitely going for something like a cable mod kit

140
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:56,120
and getting shorter cables for a build like this I mean it's not that you will

141
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:59,959
actually see the extra cable lengths but because this chassis wasn't really

142
00:09:57,959 --> 00:10:04,040
designed with project stealth in there is not a ton of cable management space

143
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,519
on the back of the motherboard tray could be a bit of a challenge I'd like

144
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:12,079
to see main Gear's take on a chassis for this does this case actually fit a 360

145
00:10:11,079 --> 00:10:17,519
mm radiator wait where's the air come from

146
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:24,240
it just has no air flow dang it Gigabyte what's the point of a fan filter with no

147
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:29,839
airflow what the hell so you can't even

148
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:32,000
get Co through it I what the hell no no

149
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:37,320
how are you going to cool the damn GPU there's a fan here doing nothing is this

150
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:43,560
why they said don't use a 12900 K what an utter disappointment you can air cool

151
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:45,639
it with what air ploof where's the air

152
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:49,320
what the heck I'm mounting it in the front and if Gigabyte doesn't like it

153
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:54,120
then they can design a better case imagine designing a whole product around

154
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:59,480
getting all the cables out of the way of the airf flow and then without having

155
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:02,360
any air flow so avoidable you know I'm

156
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:07,839
reminded of the antec dark Fleet 85 and I mean that as the scathing insult that

157
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:12,480
it is it was like they never actually bothered to build a computer in the case

158
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:18,320
before productizing it that's what this is you have to actually try your product

159
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:24,279
before you release it like what is this thing 200 Watts

160
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:29,320
thanks thanks for all the fans to move around my hot air run it with the side

161
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:34,200
panel off yeah cuz I can't get enough of looking at my gorgeous complete lack of

162
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,320
cables I love how gigabytes design is

163
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:41,440
just an ace attack cooler and then they just put like a giant tumor on top of it

164
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,079
wait is this even going to go in there I don't think I can refund this hard

165
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:50,959
enough to get this in here oh it goes all right okay it doesn't sit well how

166
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,600
the hell is that supposed to work oh wow

167
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:58,320
they stamped the front so the fans kind of come forward a little bit and what

168
00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:02,320
that means here is that you can't even get the cables threw to the front

169
00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:07,959
because of the tank Brandon can you see this these cables are mushed no no no no

170
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,320
I don't like putting the fans the other way I know you don't it's bad for

171
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,880
maintenance cuz you're going to be doing so much maintenance on this piece so

172
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:20,120
much maintenance got another clearance issue here 5vt addressable RGB header

173
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:24,880
doesn't seem to have enough room around it to get this plug into it yeah oh wow

174
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:29,440
this is not even close to being able to fit didn't expect to take up whittling

175
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:34,440
today I was having so much fun with this I was sitting here thinking wow this is

176
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:37,959
going to be so easy to build and instead

177
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,959
it's the not best the GPU is actually

178
00:12:37,959 --> 00:12:45,399
kind of the coolest part of all of this the GPU connector is the one that really

179
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,720
looks awful that's pretty cool okay

180
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:50,959
maybe I'm back to being excited again plof it's just so clean okay are all

181
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:56,600
these cables through enough that I can actually close it yes thank you it's

182
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:59,000

up by you no I did a Windows 11 install and it hooks into all the uh aorus

184
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:08,240
software and that auto downloads a bunch of like Norton and stuff like that I

185
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:13,320
don't want layered protection I want to unin this is an uninstall wizard if you

186
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:17,440

187
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:20,839

00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:39,920
gaming kit have youall learned nothing

193
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:45,440
we're up to 80° already you can see we've been running our Benchmark for

194
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:48,720
just over 1 minute we've touched 92° now

195
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,560
after Just 4 minutes package just hit 96

196
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:55,360
maximum remember too the GPU is just running my OBS screen recording right

197
00:13:53,320 --> 00:14:01,480
now here it is package ring thermal throttling and core thermal throttling

198
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:05,680
took place time 6 6 and2 minutes with a

199
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,680
triple water cooling

200
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:13,440
radiator I ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine when

201
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,440
you're not really

202
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:27,560

running and we are now down to 86° on

204
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:34,079
the CPU package it's also still quiet man now I really do wish I'd gone like a

205
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:38,360
like a 3/4 of an inch higher and we just had like a nice uh tidy tidy holes here

206
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:43,199
just put some moders mesh on there and boom done and that's all we had to do to
