00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:15,200
well this is just going to be a short in progress video so i've torn out

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,640
most of the internal hardware components motherboards out i haven't drained my

3
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:23,039
loop yet so what i'm going to do is i got my bucket here so i'll be using this

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,640
bucket in order to drain it and then i'll just blow on the end of the tubing

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,800
to clear out the rest of it until there's enough out that i can

6
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:34,320
just start disconnecting tubing and pulling out the components and

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,040
draining them one at a time you can see my temperature probe for my air fans

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,280
which are these ones and these ones and then i've got a separate temperature

9
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:47,920
probe down here for my water fans which controls these ones and these ones the

10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,520
ones on the front radiator i've got a better picture in my mind of what i want

11
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,280
to do for this particular build i think i want to clean up the tubing or the

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,399
tubing the uh tubing's fine i want to clean up the wiring a little bit so here

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,239
on the back especially it's a total mess and there's a lot of sort of

14
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:07,200
extra there's any way that i can reduce the overall amount of clutter a little

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,840
bit that would be great especially down in the bottom so that's one of the things i'm going to

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,040
be trying to do i also desperately i mean i had to do this anyway just to

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,960
clean up my water loop check out this blog is that disgusting or what

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,119
you and i'm gonna try and get you guys an angle of it here but do you see this

19
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,119
here i don't know how to get it to

20
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,759
to focus but there's text

21
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:36,880
there's text on the block so shoot this is really hard to uh to show

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,119
with it reflecting like that but um it's on the other side there we go i

23
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,560
think we got it now it's on the other side of the plexi so it's not on the

24
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:48,320
side that i'm touching it's on the other side and there's text that goes like

25
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:52,880
this and then there's a like a black line that runs from here all the way

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,000
across to here there's a www.something

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,920
the most bizarre thing i've ever seen

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,399
so um so that was that was kind of weird

29
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,399
oh what else we got so yeah there's my old motherboard

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,280
um raid card that's one of the other things i have to figure out over the

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,840
course of this project this fan is really loud but it needs to be on there

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,280
in order to cool the battery backup unit so i'm either going to pull the battery

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,280
backup unit off of it or i'm going to figure out a better way

34
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,680
to cool it that doesn't involve this allowed obnoxious little tiny fan uh

35
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,040
made most of the noise in my system so it's got to

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,440
go the advantage of the battery backup unit is that if my raid array fails in

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,920
the middle of a right operation or while something is still in the cache of

38
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,920
the of the raid card and not yet on my drives it's like partially in both

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,239
places it can cause the uh data to be corrupted so the battery

40
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,560
backup will flush the cache to um

41
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:55,200
i don't remember it flushes it somewhere whatever

42
00:02:52,319 --> 00:03:02,400
or from RAM to something i don't know anyway it prevents corruption and uh

43
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,080
but what happened was it was overheating

44
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:10,000
so i had to put a fan on it and then it's loud so that's annoying uh so yeah

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,440
reservoirs dirty these are really hard to clean i love the mc res micro but i

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,840
really wish it was easier to clean so that's one of the things i'll be doing i

47
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,959
have pulled off half of my ssds so far so i've got to pull off the other half

48
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:24,800
of them still going to be sticking with the same SSD configuration i mean when

49
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:30,239
you have eight ssds it doesn't matter if they're say to two or say to three you're uh you're going to be limited by

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,200
other things other than the interface to each individual drive so

51
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:39,040
um yeah i got to clean up wiring to the t-balancer a little bit as well there's

52
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:43,599
a lot of extra there so i'll be cutting off some wires and then

53
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,879
re-re-tying them and re-soldering them in order to clean things up if i if i

54
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:52,560
have the gumption i also want to see these the gray on the insides

55
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:57,040
of these i wouldn't mind spray painting those black just so that it's a little bit

56
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,799
cleaner looking at the front if you get this angle it looks good but then if you

57
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,840
get this dangle you see the gray so i'd like to like to get that fixed up

58
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,319
and i'll think about painting the optical drive just because that's kind of ugly

59
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,760
i think that's pretty much it for now so uh until there are more updates
