it's time to say goodby holy mother this thing is heavy also we should probably
turn it off oh good idea finally Time to Say Goodbye to desk PC gen one and I
could only think of one appropriate way to properly send her
off good night sweet prince
yeah that's right after four long years desk PC Gen 2 is on the brink of
completion all we've got to do is take all of this and all of this and all of
this and put it all together no problem
it'll be fast it's going to take a while
oh God this is going to be tough and it's going to be sponsored by Ridge
wallet Ridge wallet has redefined the traditional wallet with its compact
frame and RFID blocking plates keep your wallet bulge down and use offer code
Linus to save 10% and get free worldwide shipping at the link
below I don't want to get this thing broken on the floor uh we didn't think
of this no no are you going to I'm just going to walk themm okay all right hold
on a second how much does this cost a lot don't drop it this build had two
main goals number one was to make it as thin as possible and number two was to
give up absolutely nothing in terms of
performance now as you guys know those are kind of conflicting goals but the
specs of this machine are absolutely bananas we've got a 32 core AMD thread
Ripper 3970x we've got 64 gigs of
ballistics Max memory it's got a Zenith 2 extreme motherboard 10 gig networking
and an RTX 370 all of it coming in at a
total thickness of just under 8 cm one
of the challenges was figuring out mounting for our 10 gig network card the
original plan for the machine was to use the onboard networking but because of a
compatibility issue we had to add one Midway through the project which
necessitated a redesign of this back plate here so now we've got this Riser
which conveniently is at least kind of nice looking thanks to a quick blast and
plasty dip we've got our ugly green network card blacked out little
something like that and then we had to get a little creative with our graphics
card putting this little spacer block
just under there if you look the only
right angle fittings we could find that were low profile enough are these really
cool coolant ones they're just like a little little like right angle block and
then we're using three separate fittings
a little extension and then two fittings to go from our pump to the GPU now we
get our first regretful moment running the RGB for our block no problem see
we've got a nice little Cable Management hole can you see it down there super
great running the 12 pin power for the GPU through it not so
great oh my God have we like seen if
this actually reaches no oh boy okay
hold on hold on might have gone in the wrong hole it's a good thing this GPU
doesn't actually screw in in any way and just sits here she'll be coming around
the mountain when she comes and plug it in here she'll be coming around the
mountain when she comes and going to plug right in
here might have bent this back panel a little bit here but that's okay we were
kind of planning to reimagine that a little bit later anyway if every part of
this build is that nerve-wracking then
we are in for a wild ride it's bat on it
no no now you have to buy it you guys might have noticed we've got these
little 3D printed hose holders here what we're going to do is once we've got
everything actually stuck down we're going to kind of move it out of the way
drill a little hole and then they're going to hold them perfectly straight
exactly where they need to go oh no I don't know if that's a good idea Colin
actually it's probably a pretty good idea oh we found a leak a potential leak
so we're taking a male to male swiv boy cuz what this leak needs is more O-rings
oh one second oh what is she wet yeah
she's a little wet she's a wet boy okay
and that is it that's all the radiator I
get I've had people telling me that this is crazy since the project started it's
actually not that crazy the fans for the
radiators are over here these are going to draw fresh air in from under the desk
then it's just going to create positive pressure in side that positive pressure
has to go somewhere and yes we'll lose some of it in holes like this but I
think most of it will go out these radiators we will find out and then we
just give this a little ah not what I wanted to do you killed it no nobody
panicked do you need a hammer stop Hammer
Time no oh boy could it have been more
perfect yeah oh I don't know probably Under Pressure getting copyright stried
okay pressure test pressure test what you don't want to do is turn your giant
Reservoir into an air pressure bomb I'm
just going to give it a little
bit this looks sick we we we have a
minor problem a leak we can't find because it's so small we can't even hear
it this thing is draining in about 1/8
of a bar so we got a find that but have
you really listened to your PC
lately it's such a small leak do we just
fill it oh GE oh GE he's calling I don't
know if that's a very good idea oh we might want to put the glass on what now
cuz it'll rest on this whole
side we've got thingamabobber stuck to
it uhhuh they might interfere nope you
sure pretty sure okay okay
mhm
okay dang that is super thin is that
supposed to be there that Gap no that's sag oh straight up sag so we need to
we'll just put we can put a little Block in there yeah yeah and we'll go ahead
and make this into two pieces it's important that the glass
sits as flush on the wood as possible because because if we don't have a seal
inside then we can't force the air from our fans to come out through the
radiators and we're not going to have any cooling can we just Google how to
adjust the thing in my yeah we can but I figure we'll do that later what could go
wrong literally don't say that don't say that the nail shoots all the way through
the wood goes into the glass it shatters it cuts up the tubing stop a
piece of shattered glass lodges itself in Linus's spleen he slowly bleeds out
over the coming weeks oh my God leaving his children fatherless his parents
childless actually they'll be okay they've got four other children why is
that end not oh this isn't Square I can
hit it on the Belt Sander and just like trim that in just a little so it matches
that's fine the goal today is get it done not get it
perfect we're plugging in the GPU I'm firing Mal laser so we've got these
custom 8 Pin CPU power connectors here
and and H does this only have one of oh it
has two it's on the other
okay I don't think we're going to make it that's okay we don't actually need it
we're at the point where we need to fill it again and we really cannot figure out
where the leak is so I'll can do it again
do you mind killing the light for a
second I don't hear
anything it's the rest y it blows up I
want it to be right into my chest
cavity oh good God can I just have some
good news today oh you may notice that the reservoir is still bulging it's
because uh the seal is is actually actually good uh we just didn't close
the valve you know what that is great news because that means I'm going to be
on time for wow today I got a thing we're going to need we got to do this
here we go ready one two
three is it going to hit it oh God what are you doing lonus see we got to tip it
over to fill it you put it on the wrong side you Dingus what the the fill port's
here what are you talking about this might be a three person job Alex you
mind you know what you guys seem to have it under control all right see you later
now it's a two person job I'll move them
oh hey yeah now might be a good time for
you to figure out where you want your up down switch how about next hey this is upside down that was matias's job I'm
passing that buck entirely to Mattias if I fix I six oh Bulls I I spilled already
why how did I spill already hey it's from LTT Store.com C it's reflective it
was on purpose wasn't it it was totally on purpose David knows what's
up it's leaking you piece of that is not
funny David do you have any idea how many years this project has taken off
Colin's life at least two the best thing about your employer shaving years off
your life is they're all the years that your employer won't miss anyway I love
feeling like I'm 35 damn son okay this
is a lot of water yep it's
exciting okay let's plugged in okay I'm hitting it oh that's a dri come on come
on come on come where is this water coming from I think it's just dripping
down okay let's hope we just fill it and stop worrying about it rock on
brother and that my friends is why I
hire Engineers this is shut off and it
is flowing through the radiators it's hot because it doesn't work without the
glass I'm going to tip it and then we can Elevate this corner
now here we go let's hope it still fits on don't slip thermal expansion
uh Corner drop it yeah uh we didn't wire
up the power button I don't have extensions for that today holy bananas
it's actually on what are the odds this thing is just working that' be nice
wouldn't the numb lock is working okay let's uh I really would like it to turn
on though okay come on baby it's DisplayPort so maybe we need to power cycle it
oh it's DP yeah oh we probably need to power cycle it then go for a lift and
you want to do button okay
perfect are you good yep okay this is
bigger than my old desk too isn't it
yes okay it's up it's up it's up it's
up okay I can breathe
now Ure to connect both the eight pin
and four four pin power plugs oh it actually really does want that second
one okay we can fix that something it got really hot in here yeah yeah me too
holy crap balls are those all threads uh
yeah it has a lot of threads there's going to be time for it to I don't think
the fan controller is even hooked up well I don't know let's see how it does
if it's just running super quiet we might be somewhat power limited cuz we
only have that single eight pin but apparently the CPU is 94% % loaded on
all 32 cores it's going boys yeah you
feel the heat they're pushing yeah for sure so in the theory worked so far you
know there would have been a hundred other points in this process where we could have tested the theory of whether
the cooling will work before actually small scale yeah yeah but we didn't and
we have basically leveled out here at
around 70° on the CPU no matter what I throw at this thing I can not make it
thermal throttle both the CPU and GPU
are under 80 what well under 80° at
their hottest points so this is my hottest CCD right here it actually
worked just got some finishing touches to put on it and then I get to move this
into my office you know the funny thing is the people this is going to benefit
the most are actually my writers who sit next to me while we review scripts and
constantly whack their knees and the insides of their thighs on the corners
of that old desk I am so happy this
worked the spec was right I feel bad
covering it with a desk pad I'm going to have to get one of the skinny ones
fortunately there's this store that has desk pads in pretty much any size you
could possibly want and uh they're all the same price uh what's this what's the
store called LT store LT no it couldn't be that one cuz they're always out of
stock they're always out of stock yeah eBay just like this is the right time to
