1
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:15,640
so I'm working on a little change up in my wife's PC I decided to pull out the

2
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:19,000
uh G1 sniper and go with a more

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:21,880
reasonable board so I'm just using a

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,439
Gigabyte uh p67a I'm actually changing the CPU as well I had a 2500k in there

5
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:31,519
before and I'm going to be putting in a 2600k this is an ancient sample board so

6
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:36,320
this is actually using the B2 chipset which means I can only use the theta 3 6

7
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:39,960
GB pers second ports without uh without them eventually dying but that's fine

8
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,719
because I'm only using a single SSD for the boot drive and then uh a SATA

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:49,360
optical drive for this machine and I just the only reason that I'm uh

10
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:53,600
bringing this up is because actually I'm just going to move this out of the way

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,600
it can

12
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:00,840
sit over here with the other computers

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,600
that are on this shelf like motherboards

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:07,880
going on got another one sitting over there anyway that can go there for

15
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:10,880
now okay so the reason I brought this up is because I'm going to be reconfiguring

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,200
the air flow in this machine a little bit because it's been um a little bit

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,119
problematic so you know she's like yeah yeah I like the ark midi case it's my

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,720
favorite case that's what I want my PC in but she doesn't like this big uh dust

19
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:30,520
thing going on here so there's a filter on the front of the case but you can see

20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,799
it accumulates quite a lot of dust um

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,159
not very attractive also I've been having some problems with overall dust

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,600
buildup inside the case as well and what I realized it's due to the negative air

23
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:46,040
flow on the case so while the intakes are filtered we so we can keep a lot of

24
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,159
the dust out that way it's still better to maintain positive air pressure inside

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,200
the case so what I'm going to be doing is I'm actually going to take this fan

26
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:59,079
out entirely so I'm not going to have any intake fans

27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,719
whatsoever and then what I'm going to do well okay oh sorry sorry so I'm not

28
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:06,039
going to have any intake fans in the front so that'll mean that I won't have

29
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:11,360
that uh that ring of dust in the front and then what I'm going to do is I'm

30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:13,440
going to turn all of these around and

31
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:20,680
I'm going to use the ones at the top and the back as intakes so what I'm hoping

32
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:22,280
that will help me achieve is to have uh

33
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,840
overall positive air pressure inside which means that dust is less likely to

34
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:31,680
get sucked in and little cracks in the case and also by having all the intakes

35
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:36,000
higher up up I'm hoping that less dust will be brought in in general because it

36
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:40,599
won't be sitting right on the floor so we'll see how this goes so the purpose

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,560
of this video was uh several fold so number one was to talk about positive

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,840
air pressure a little bit with respect to uh keeping dust out of your case so

39
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:52,599
you want to use filtered intakes and then have overall positive pressure

40
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,440
inside the case so that it blows out the little cracks uh number two was cuz

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,720
several of you had asked about my um my wife's machine so I figured I'd show you

42
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,000
guys the finished build now that it's done and number three was that since I

43
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:09,239
was taking it apart anyway because look at this color scheme I mean yeah yeah if

44
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:15,400
you guys are wondering why I would have downgraded the motherboard the reason is

45
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,879
that this just doesn't go with the

46
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,680
overall look of this particular case so hold on let me just blow out this you

47
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:28,959
can see the dust ring right not really no okay well whatever it's

48
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,760
there I wish I had compressed air but I

49
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:31,760
don't

50
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:41,599
we'll call that good enough okay throw that on there and

51
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,000
now the properly finished build now that

52
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:48,400
the color scheme has been corrected so I've got my special signature Linus

53
00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:52,400
Edition RAM in there which is blue and black and then everything else see

54
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,000
there's a couple little blue accents there's some blue accents on the heat

55
00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:01,640
sink of the yeah on the heat sink so the motherboard itself and then other than

56
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:05,840
that we've got a black and gray and white sort of grayscale overall theme

57
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:09,480
going on in here all of these are just stock Parts I haven't done anything

58
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:12,599
particularly special because let's face it it's important to me but it's still

59
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:19,079
not my machine um so uh so

60
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:23,199
yeah oh yeah so these are all intakes and then this CPU uh cooler doesn't need

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,240
any kind of additional cooling since I swapped out the G1 uh Sniper 2 is it

62
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,560
what was it a G1 Sniper 2 something like that yeah Sniper 2 I had to throw in a

63
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:37,520
sound card so that's just an older aente sound card just because uh I don't have

64
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:41,919
that awesome onboard audio anymore so we can go ahead and close this up oh yeah

65
00:04:39,039 --> 00:04:48,280
overall specs so we got a 2600k 8 gigs of Linus Edition RAM p67 GB board MSI

66
00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:53,759
GTX 560 Hawk with the twin frozer 3 cooler we've got a PC power and cooling

67
00:04:50,880 --> 00:05:00,680
silencer MK3 modular power supply ocz agility 120 gig

68
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:03,080
SSD um did I say 2600k already

69
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:08,160
I'm not sure uh right thermal take Silver Arrow heat sink and then

70
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,919
obviously all of that is in the fractal design Arc

71
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:21,759
midi and mid tower case there we go so

72
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,919
it's time to put this back and then um I

73
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:29,199
can have my computer back because that is apparently how this works when this

74
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,639
computer is down I forfeit the right to use mine

75
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,560
