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

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.640
most of the internal hardware components motherboards out i haven't drained my

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

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

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.800
to clear out the rest of it until there's enough out that i can

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:34.320
just start disconnecting tubing and pulling out the components and

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.040
draining them one at a time you can see my temperature probe for my air fans

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.280
which are these ones and these ones and then i've got a separate temperature

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.920
probe down here for my water fans which controls these ones and these ones the

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

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

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

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

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.200
extra there's any way that i can reduce the overall amount of clutter a little

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

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

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.960
clean up my water loop check out this blog is that disgusting or what

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

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.119
here i don't know how to get it to

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.759
to focus but there's text

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:36.880
there's text on the block so shoot this is really hard to uh to show

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

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

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

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

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.000
across to here there's a www.something

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:59.920
the most bizarre thing i've ever seen

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.399
so um so that was that was kind of weird

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.399
oh what else we got so yeah there's my old motherboard

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

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.840
course of this project this fan is really loud but it needs to be on there

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

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.280
backup unit off of it or i'm going to figure out a better way

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.680
to cool it that doesn't involve this allowed obnoxious little tiny fan uh

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:29.040
made most of the noise in my system so it's got to

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.440
go the advantage of the battery backup unit is that if my raid array fails in

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.920
the middle of a right operation or while something is still in the cache of

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

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.239
places it can cause the uh data to be corrupted so the battery

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.560
backup will flush the cache to um

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.200
i don't remember it flushes it somewhere whatever

00:02:52.319 --> 00:03:02.400
or from RAM to something i don't know anyway it prevents corruption and uh

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.080
but what happened was it was overheating

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

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.440
reservoirs dirty these are really hard to clean i love the mc res micro but i

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

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

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:24.800
of them still going to be sticking with the same SSD configuration i mean when

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

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:35.200
other things other than the interface to each individual drive so

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

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:43.599
a lot of extra there so i'll be cutting off some wires and then

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

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:52.560
have the gumption i also want to see these the gray on the insides

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

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

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

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.319
and i'll think about painting the optical drive just because that's kind of ugly

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:14.760
i think that's pretty much it for now so uh until there are more updates
