WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.390
- Here today. We have the EK water blocks, fluid gaming.

00:00:04.390 --> 00:00:07.453
Oh, what the, heck's it called? Vanquish 295. I believe it is.

00:00:07.453 --> 00:00:10.650
Yes. Nailed it. It's water cooled. Well, of course it's water cooled, it's EK.

00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:15.830
But she's really frigging powerful. Yeah. Budget build rate here only, you know

00:00:15.830 --> 00:00:19.347
the least rich Saudi princes buy this one,

00:00:19.347 --> 00:00:23.860
(wheezes) you go into Dubai with this thing and they're just like, Oh, damn it.

00:00:23.860 --> 00:00:27.550
You got the EK fluid gaming? What the hell are you even doing?

00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:31.700
I don't even think it has SLI-39, so like (lip trill)

00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:35.780
We get a tube, presumably for filling? Oh, draining, actually it says it right there.

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:39.907
All of the other cables that would come with your power supply, I guess its an EVGA one.

00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:46.113
And two and a half inch drive bays. Everyone's favorite way to open these.

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:53.410
Oh, heck yeah. Oh yeah. That is sex back right there.

00:00:53.410 --> 00:00:57.940
Yeah. One thing to note is that it did not come pre-filled, our logistics guys did that for us.

00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:03.060
I'm pretty sure that it was really easy though. Cause they have just like a fill port right there and a drain port down there,

00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:08.530
if you ever want to take the fluid out and that way you don't have to worry about like, things move around a lot in shipping.

00:01:08.530 --> 00:01:14.410
So if you couldn't tell this is based off of a Lian Li 0-11-D, in my opinion, it's basically one

00:01:14.410 --> 00:01:18.070
of the best computer cases on the market right now. It has cool things

00:01:18.070 --> 00:01:21.603
like the ability to put two power supplies in it. If you're De Bauer

00:01:21.603 --> 00:01:25.350
(wheezes) and it also has such a good setup

00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:29.240
for custom water cooling and EK has taken full advantage of that.

00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:34.920
Now what you normally don't get in an 0-11-D is this frigging incredible distribution block

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.510
and reservoir and pump combo that they have up here.

00:01:38.510 --> 00:01:43.120
Oh, you do get these fairly small hardline tubes.

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.603
I think those are like 10 mils. Oh wow.

00:01:46.490 --> 00:01:51.970
Yeah. It looks like that, something unpleasant happened to this in the shipping. You can see a little bow right here.

00:01:51.970 --> 00:01:55.090
Yeah. The box looks pretty good. Let's turn this on just to figure out

00:01:55.090 --> 00:01:59.178
exactly how this flows. Oh, there we go.

00:01:59.178 --> 00:02:03.050
That's a good sploosh right there. No leaking that I can see.

00:02:03.050 --> 00:02:06.750
Okay. And now we know for sure that the way that I thought it was going to flow

00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:11.570
it actually does. There's a little spinning wheel here that shows us that the water is actually flowing.

00:02:11.570 --> 00:02:18.043
Pump pumps here goes out into the GPU, down into here and then

00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:22.690
across into the CPU comes back in here into

00:02:22.690 --> 00:02:27.860
Radiator One which looks like a 240, then into Radiator Two,

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:31.530
which is a 360. And then it comes back into the big old reservoir right here

00:02:31.530 --> 00:02:37.220
which I imagine is going to have absolutely no trouble cooling this thing, like just this 360

00:02:37.220 --> 00:02:41.410
probably totally fine for the system. Chuck in the 240 there as well.

00:02:41.410 --> 00:02:47.810
And she's, she's real good to go. So like we have an X570 prime as the motherboard here

00:02:47.810 --> 00:02:51.280
you could technically have like a crosshair or

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.410
like a strict gaming E, which would be better. But at the same time, I highly doubt.

00:02:56.410 --> 00:03:02.120
It's going to give you any actual more performance RTX 3090, fastest GPU you can get.

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.250
I guess you could put two of them in here, but in the vast majority of cases, one is going to

00:03:07.250 --> 00:03:13.524
be just as fast. If not faster. As for the CPU, Ryzen 9 5950X,

00:03:13.524 --> 00:03:17.120
fastest CPU on the market, that's kind of just how she goes.

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.250
64 gigabytes of 3,200, I believe it's C16,

00:03:21.250 --> 00:03:24.420
but they didn't say, memory from G-Skill and

00:03:24.420 --> 00:03:29.180
to round the whole thing out, you get a 970 EVO. So they could have gone for the 980

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:36.680
which does support PCIe 4.0. But at the same time, you can't really saturate PCI 3.0

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:41.400
so it doesn't super matter. And in the back here, we have a four terabyte hard drive

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:46.270
for all of your games. From the front I would say that the cable management

00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:49.470
is exceptional for a prebuild. This one right here.

00:03:49.470 --> 00:03:52.480
I guess if I was to really complain, could be

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:56.750
marginally better, but only marginally. This is really well done.

00:03:56.750 --> 00:03:59.890
It just looks really sick. Okay. So the timings on this RAM

00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:03.650
is C-Sixteen-Eighteen, Eighteen-Thirty-Eight,

00:04:03.650 --> 00:04:07.930
which is pretty good. I believe, I'm not a RAM overclocking kind

00:04:07.930 --> 00:04:13.130
of person because it's always a terrible time. But if that's your jam, I imagine this stuff

00:04:13.130 --> 00:04:19.540
does pretty good where they might be hiding. Some badness though is in the back, I guess

00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:23.540
that the airflow goes sucking in through here and in

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:26.680
through the bottom and then exhausting through the radiator

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:32.731
at the top, which is actually a pretty smart way to do it. So this is a thousand watt, EVGA Supernova G5.

00:04:32.731 --> 00:04:36.023
It's just a fantastic power supply. Take a look here.

00:04:36.023 --> 00:04:39.320
Oh, that's really quite well done, for like, a prebuild.

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:44.280
Then finally you can see the hard drive is right here. One thing, that's nice, that they did do, is there

00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:47.480
is another SETA connector already placed right there.

00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.560
So if you want to chuck in another hard drive, it's already basically run.

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.290
You do have to put a SETA cable down. Now the final kind of janky thing that they did

00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:58.630
is the motherboard does not support Wi-Fi

00:04:58.630 --> 00:05:02.530
but they threw in an MSI Wi-Fi card.

00:05:02.530 --> 00:05:05.800
I don't know why they do that. Like it's the sort of thing where it doesn't matter.

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.780
This Wi-Fi cards probably better than onboard Wi-Fi overall though

00:05:09.780 --> 00:05:13.460
like this thing is just exceptionally well done. Like you expect it.

00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:16.510
It's, you know, a $6,000 gaming PC,

00:05:16.510 --> 00:05:19.670
but again, I've seen pretty stupid stuff

00:05:19.670 --> 00:05:23.320
and very expensive prebuild's before, so good job EK.

00:05:23.320 --> 00:05:28.250
I want to play some games on it. Just like I want to make Jonno happy with the segue to our sponsor, PIA.

00:05:28.250 --> 00:05:33.230
Private internet access is a VPN that allows you to access services and websites as if you're

00:05:33.230 --> 00:05:37.880
in a different country and encrypts all of your internet traffic and uses a safe, protected IP.

00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:42.660
Connect to up to 10 devices at once with clients, for Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and Linux.

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:46.420
Buy a one-year plan for $39.95 using the link in the video description.

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:49.901
All right, we got her all set up and this is my favorite part.

00:05:49.901 --> 00:05:55.390
That's luxurious right there. Oh, now, that was a fantastic peel.

00:05:55.390 --> 00:05:59.490
But what's not as appealing is the fact that they used a DDC pump in this.

00:05:59.490 --> 00:06:04.910
It should have a D5. There's no reason it should have a DDC. It's this big, DDC's suck, D5's are good.

00:06:04.910 --> 00:06:10.890
Come on EK, you know this. Ahhhaha (uncomfortable laughing)

00:06:10.890 --> 00:06:14.930
Well it's I don't think this is EK's fault, but that's not good.

00:06:14.930 --> 00:06:19.360
Yeah. We used boot time. Excellent. But what the heck happened there?

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.670
Let's see here. Let's boot up Doom maternal again and hopefully we don't get a blue screen.

00:06:23.670 --> 00:06:27.830
Okay. Doom maternal opened. Now we're not even in the game.

00:06:27.830 --> 00:06:31.523
What? What is this? Why?

00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:38.703
Oh, something might be broken. Okay. I have no clue why the blue screens were happening.

00:06:39.690 --> 00:06:43.350
Okay. So Doom just open. We're just idling with CPU temp

00:06:43.350 --> 00:06:48.730
in the mid-50s and the GPU also in the mid-50s.

00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:53.310
That's good for now, but let's see how good we go here.

00:06:53.310 --> 00:06:54.993
All right. We're looking at

00:06:56.410 --> 00:07:02.430
above 200 FPS for sure. Overall though, unsurprisingly,

00:07:02.430 --> 00:07:06.600
a 3090 is delivering excellent gaming performance.

00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:12.960
Something's weird with this system. So earlier today I was using basically

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:17.490
this exact same config. So 5950X and a 3090,

00:07:17.490 --> 00:07:23.950
and a case that was about this big that was using mostly EK's stuff.

00:07:23.950 --> 00:07:27.360
And it was being cooled better than this, despite the fact

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:32.220
that this should be better in basically every single way.

00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:35.343
Yeah. Maybe they overclocked it from the factory. Oh, okay.

00:07:35.343 --> 00:07:41.620
Yup. They had auto overclocking enabled. So that's probably what did it, so nevermind.

00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:45.330
System's working great. It was just overclocked and I didn't know.

00:07:45.330 --> 00:07:48.900
Let's do this again. You had me scared there, EK.

00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:51.970
Okay. So the CPU's already gotten above 80 degrees.

00:07:51.970 --> 00:07:55.420
Something's wrong with this computer? Something-Something's terribly wrong.

00:07:55.420 --> 00:08:00.970
I genuinely don't think it's EK's fault. We saw clearly that it was damaged in shipping.

00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:04.460
Like the bottom in here, is pretty mangled.

00:08:04.460 --> 00:08:08.060
I don't know what's going on without totally taking it apart, but,

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:11.480
Oh, that's disappointing. This thing is so freaking cool.

00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.160
It's legitimately like one of the coolest computers that I've ever unboxed.

00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.260
Like you just look at it. It's freaking awesome. I'm sorry, EK.

00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:26.000
None of this was your fault. You built an awesome system and it got damaged.

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.700
I really hope that we get another one in, at some point in time that's not broken or we can fix this one.

00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:33.750
We almost definitely can. Like, I'm not worried about that.

00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:36.503
Get subscribed, have a great old day. See ya.
