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

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:19.000
uh G1 sniper and go with a more

00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:21.880
reasonable board so I'm just using a

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

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

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

00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:39.960
GB pers second ports without uh without them eventually dying but that's fine

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

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:49.360
optical drive for this machine and I just the only reason that I'm uh

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

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:53.600
it can

00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:00.840
sit over here with the other computers

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:02.600
that are on this shelf like motherboards

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.880
going on got another one sitting over there anyway that can go there for

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.799
it accumulates quite a lot of dust um

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:37.159
not very attractive also I've been having some problems with overall dust

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

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

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.159
the dust out that way it's still better to maintain positive air pressure inside

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

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:59.079
out entirely so I'm not going to have any intake fans

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

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

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

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:13.440
going to turn all of these around and

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

00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:22.280
that will help me achieve is to have uh

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:26.840
overall positive air pressure inside which means that dust is less likely to

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.680
get sucked in and little cracks in the case and also by having all the intakes

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

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

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.560
of this video was uh several fold so number one was to talk about positive

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:48.840
air pressure a little bit with respect to uh keeping dust out of your case so

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.599
you want to use filtered intakes and then have overall positive pressure

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:57.440
inside the case so that it blows out the little cracks uh number two was cuz

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

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.000
guys the finished build now that it's done and number three was that since I

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.239
was taking it apart anyway because look at this color scheme I mean yeah yeah if

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:15.400
you guys are wondering why I would have downgraded the motherboard the reason is

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:17.879
that this just doesn't go with the

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:22.680
overall look of this particular case so hold on let me just blow out this you

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:28.959
can see the dust ring right not really no okay well whatever it's

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.760
there I wish I had compressed air but I

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:31.760
don't

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:41.599
we'll call that good enough okay throw that on there and

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:44.000
now the properly finished build now that

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:48.400
the color scheme has been corrected so I've got my special signature Linus

00:03:46.519 --> 00:03:52.400
Edition RAM in there which is blue and black and then everything else see

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:57.000
there's a couple little blue accents there's some blue accents on the heat

00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:01.640
sink of the yeah on the heat sink so the motherboard itself and then other than

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.840
that we've got a black and gray and white sort of grayscale overall theme

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:09.480
going on in here all of these are just stock Parts I haven't done anything

00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:12.599
particularly special because let's face it it's important to me but it's still

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:19.079
not my machine um so uh so

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

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.240
any kind of additional cooling since I swapped out the G1 uh Sniper 2 is it

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

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

00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:41.919
that awesome onboard audio anymore so we can go ahead and close this up oh yeah

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

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

00:04:50.880 --> 00:05:00.680
silencer MK3 modular power supply ocz agility 120 gig

00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:03.080
SSD um did I say 2600k already

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:08.160
I'm not sure uh right thermal take Silver Arrow heat sink and then

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.919
obviously all of that is in the fractal design Arc

00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:21.759
midi and mid tower case there we go so

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:23.919
it's time to put this back and then um I

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:29.199
can have my computer back because that is apparently how this works when this

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.639
computer is down I forfeit the right to use mine

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:36.560
