1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:08,719
that's twice in two days actually that I

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,559
am building something so huge that I

3
00:00:08,719 --> 00:00:18,080
don't even fit next to it welcome to personal rig 2015 upgrade part 4 so if

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,680
you've been following along up till now I've introduced the hardware I have

5
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:27,400
introduced the I don't remember what the second video was about I have introduced

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:34,399
yes my friends the birth of the case right the second one was designing it

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,399
and now I am finally going to build

8
00:00:41,239 --> 00:00:47,760
it fresh books is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

9
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:51,840
organized save time and get paid faster check out the link in the video

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,960
description to try it for free so this

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,960
was a bit of a roller coaster of a build for a variety of reasons it started out

12
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:03,079
actually like I was really excited cuz I had this great concept I've designed the

13
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:07,560
case from scratch with help from Taran and Proto case and like it finally

14
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,400
arrived and I'm like yeah I've got this new concept for taking my system and

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:16,159
putting it in a completely different room to achieve true silence and then I

16
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:22,720
looked at my old rig and I was like it's actually kind of hard to say goodbye

17
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:25,439
I've been using that case that tj7 BW

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:31,600
for 9 years it was a gift from my then girlfriend now wife I have polished it I

19
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,479
have dremeled it and cut it I have painted it I have stripped all the paint

20
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:42,040
I have painted it again and we have been through a lot and between that and the

21
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,759
radiator in the front that's my first ever water cooling radiator that I've

22
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:50,600
been using for 12 years I I am leaving

23
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:53,159
behind some of the pieces of like my PC

24
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:58,159
Enthusiast history that actually ended up meaning a little bit more to me than

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,360
I had originally thought that they did

26
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:03,439
but um hey the build's got to go on so

27
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:08,399
it started with carefully extracting the motherboard being really careful not to

28
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:12,760
chip that extremely fragile paint job that I gave it way back in this

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,280
controversial video here and grabbing some of the components that I'm going to

30
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,440
carry with me so the CPU the 5960x 8

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,879
core that's coming with me so is that goldplated Apple block from swifttech

32
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:32,319
and actually this is a funny one my optical drive is coming with me because

33
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:34,160
it handles CDs DVDs HDD DD and Blu-ray

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:37,959
all in one drive not to mention it has light scribe yes I'm sure someone

35
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,519
somewhere on Earth cares about light scribe one thing that won't be coming

36
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:46,640
with me is these UV LEDs these are the worst lighting solution I have ever

37
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:52,120
encountered they stop working within 1 to two weeks and then the UV light

38
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:58,599
actually causes the resin to turn to like Stone and crack it's ridiculous so

39
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:02,920
the RAM's new here we've got 64 gigs of Corsair Dominator Platinum I installed

40
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:08,760
them the way that I do install RAM not a whole lot to say about that the radiator

41
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:11,640
was a whole other story this was a tight

42
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:16,159
fit at the front and it actually took quite a while to get the cables for the

43
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:21,440
front panel connectors as well as front USB kind of out of the way enough to get

44
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:27,120
it just barely wedged in there and then I equipped it with three of those LTT

45
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:29,959
Edition noct to n12 fans now these are

46
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,439
pretty quiet fans but honestly I'm the kind of person where if this system was

47
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,959
actually sitting next to my head on my table I would be fan controlling them

48
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:43,159
but I ended up not carrying the T balancer forward and I'm just using two

49
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:48,000
of these little Molex to three fan connector cables that cable mod made up

50
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:50,799
for me with uh turns out they actually kind of screwed them up a little

51
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,200
inadvertently they didn't screw them up they're fine but they're three pin

52
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,560
whereas the fans are four pin so they didn't fit so I had to cut them and then

53
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,840
hot glue them together to secure the cables anyway it's all fine it's all

54
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,959
good so my point is that I would normally use a fan controller but I

55
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,239
didn't have to because the whole point of this build is to have it in a room

56
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,560
away from me the SSD was the next thing

57
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:18,359
I tackled while I was waiting for the glue gun to warm up and this was a

58
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:24,240
I could not get the stock cooler off I even tried a heat gun finally I resorted

59
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:27,280
to a hobby knife to cut the thermal

60
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,199
adhesive on the Nan chips I mean damn

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,280
even then it was hard to pry the thing off the good news though is that the

62
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:37,160
results are definitely worth it EK you

63
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:43,960
never seize to amaze me liquid cooling in SSD who to think

64
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,919
it the other front radiator was I

65
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:52,680
thought going to be the hardest part of this build it needed to be precisely cut

66
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:58,039
for the Hardline tubing to get exactly the right length to sit in between them

67
00:04:55,039 --> 00:05:00,320
I'm running them in parallel and even

68
00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:06,479
once I got that right tiing down the collar on the fittings was a freaking

69
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:11,919
nightmare the good news is that Monsoon tubing kit that was provided by

70
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,840
performance PCS is freaking awesome so I

71
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:17,880
used it to cut the tubing to exactly that right length it did take a couple

72
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:23,240
tries even so then with some very careful and tedious fussing around with

73
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:27,680
the mounts cuz the rad had to be slid into place from front to back and then

74
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,440
the tubing had to be pushed in from back to front and basically I learned a

75
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:36,880
valuable lesson about if I were to design this case again I would definitely not do it this way but I

76
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:42,639
eventually got it in there and by the end of it it was not leaking speaking of

77
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:48,479
not leaking and awesome freaking stuff recommended by performance PCS this

78
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:50,479
Monsoon Reservoir I mean I could talk to

79
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:54,120
you guys about mounting it or whatever with screws but instead I'm just going

80
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,680
to talk about how balls to the wall amazing it looks it uses Monsoon modular

81
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:01,600
system so you can actually configure it any number of different ways and they

82
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:04,800
kind of asked me what I wanted to do and I went gee that looks complicated you

83
00:06:03,479 --> 00:06:08,800
figure something out and send it to me so they sent it with cathodes for the

84
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:13,560
bottom that I actually ended up taking out since I didn't really have anywhere

85
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:16,800
to put an inverter and I wanted to go

86
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:20,199
with UV LED lighting anyway so so I took

87
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,400
those out but even then holy crap it

88
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:26,319
looks so cool there's a ton of options for inlets and Outlets there's a lot of

89
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:32,520
flexibility sort of once I get to my tubing and the D5 pump goes right to the

90
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,120
end with this like sick metal cover on it and it all comes together really

91
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:40,520
nicely and saves me another tubing run at the same time freaking sick I didn't

92
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:47,080
think anything was going to impress me more than my old t- virus Reservoir this

93
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:50,840
one definitely did on the subject of

94
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:54,400
tubing though this was a disaster from

95
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:56,520
the start complete disaster the original

96
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,840
plan was to hard pipe water cool this thing so I broke out the monsoon kit

97
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:06,840
again I got the heat gun I got the fancy fittings I started cutting tubing length

98
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:13,520
except for one small problem the block for the 750 SSD is so much lower profile

99
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:19,759
than the GPU block that the bend here ended up being impossible at least for

100
00:07:16,599 --> 00:07:22,479
me so I had to start evaluating other

101
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:26,879
options even going as far as to dig up some red angled fittings that were

102
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,479
earmarked for a project I never ended up completing and man that would have

103
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:37,919
looked awful but I was desperate trying to come up with some way to Plum that

104
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,720
card fortunately by some miracle I found

105
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:44,759
enough between the random fittings bin and my old system 90° fittings and

106
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:49,159
straight compressions to complete the build if I was willing to go back to

107
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,759
flexible tubing which I mean sure the runs aren't as perfect and beautiful and

108
00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:57,599
clean looking as they would be with Hardline but there are a lot of benefits

109
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:02,199
to flexible tubing it is harder for it to leak it is easier to work with it you

110
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:06,759
ever want to upgrade and honestly I am okay with it it ended up looking in my

111
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,440
opinion pretty sick anyway and if I'm being entirely honest with myself it's

112
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,280
going to be installed in a server cabinet in a closet anyway so I'm

113
00:08:11,479 --> 00:08:19,080
unlikely to ever see the guts unless I'm working on it which leads us finally to

114
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,360
the conclusion where I guess a lot of Brandon sexy b-roll is going to go I

115
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:30,000
learned a lot about a lot of things I especially learned a lot about designing

116
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:31,720
a case it is not as easy as the case

117
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,880
designers out there like George from Corsair make it look I did a lot of

118
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:40,680
things right actually this was Monsoon idea having a fill port on the side of

119
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,640
the system in order to make this thing so easy to fill freaking awesome I

120
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:49,839
personally like the front panel that was painted by our neighbor over here at

121
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:53,720
Linus Media Group uh he does like helicopter repair and apparently

122
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:59,560
airbrushing on the side I love the front panel I love the concept of the water

123
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:04,079
cooled rack mount case but man there were a lot of little things I could have

124
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,880
done to make my life easier in terms of planning out the tubing runs better in

125
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:12,399
terms of planning out the radiator installation better but the good news is

126
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,640
now that the system is actually built I think it looks fantastic I can't wait to

127
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,519
install it and it and my wife's system

128
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:24,160
and the new NZ and all that stuff so there is going to be a part five of

129
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:30,160
personal rig update 2015 but it is not this day today is done it's 2:40 in the

130
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:35,440
morning I am ready to go home today is done and it is finally

131
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,800
built and I actually very happy with it and I hope you guys are happy

132
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,839
