many of you requested when you saw the seven Gamers 1 CPU machine which you can
check out here by the way that we do an LT Edition build blog not necessarily
because that one wasn't black and orange enough but because thanks to its cost it
wasn't really attainable for well any
but the richest oil princes so today we
are going to be bringing it back down to earth somewhat with other than the lus
techit Edition knock to offend every other part of this the first LT Edition
build being an off-the-shelf normal
component So It Begins as always with
the motherboard unfortunately within ASUS's lineup unless you're willing to
paint their Rog series x99 board there's
not much choice for a premium option in anything of other than white or red so I
decided to go with their WS which is all black I've been partial to the Ws line
for quite some time I like the No Frills
feature set excellent compatibility with exotic add-in cards and Rock Solid
construction not to mention ECC compatibility if you're into the whole
Zeon thing for the CPU speaking of which
I went with the core i7 5930k 6 core the
only reason for this is that with with an x99 motherboard the 5820k provides 28
versus 40 PCI Express lanss so it can
limit future expansion but if you don't see yourself adding a bunch of
specialized PCIe cards to your computer the 6 core
5820k is a fantastic choice to go along
with my six core CPU I've got four dims of quad Channel ddr4 memory and it's not
an LTT Edition build without Corsair dominators
but the only problem being again that while dominators are actually available
in orange the orange really doesn't match what I'm trying to do here and it
only comes on this weird special edition low capacity high-speed skew I wanted 32
gigs of RAM with the ability to move to 64 gigs in the future so I ended up
painting the top bars of a regular kit of dominators myself it's actually
really easy to do and takes about an hour of total time if you've got a
convenient place to spray paint the heat sink may actually seem like an odd
choice to many of you a single Tower heat sink with a pushpull fan
configuration lines really but the rationale is actually pretty
straightforward I opted for a single Tower over a dual tower for better
compatibility with tall RAM coolers and
over an aiio liquid cooler because rather than adding points of failure
water cools remember are rendered useless if either the pump or the fan
and fails a tower cooler improves
reliability because with two fans on it it can operate at near Peak efficiency
even if one of them fails thanks to noct to his use of a static pressure
optimized fan design which isn't to say that I left the original fan on the
black and orange is a special LTT edition of the n12 that's only available
while quantities last at the pricing and discussion Link in the video description
for the case I wanted something off the shelf but something that I also so
really like and the h440 continues to stand out as a well-built well thought
out case and they happened to have an orange accented version right around the
time that I was evaluating my options for this build be quiet! silent base 800
was also a top candidate but I did a silence optimized build in it over a
year ago and I wanted something a little different for the power supply I had
actually originally intended to use something much more sensible a Corsair
rm850x so still high quality but not to the point where I'm paying a huge
premium for 80 plus titanium efficiency or enough wattage to run literally three
of these systems under load unfortunately I misplaced my orange and
black kit of Corsair compatible cable mod cables and was only able to find my
EVGA ones and I got to have my black and orange cables man I mean no LT Edition
build would be complete without them so the EVGA T600 makes a return from Seven
Gamers 1 CPU for the case fan I mean do
I even need to say it the obvious choice for an LT build is blue LED y loons from
ncx that nah I went of course for the
exclusive LT orange version of noa's NF
Series so I popped three of them in the front choosing to go logo side up and
deal with the cable management later on and in the rear I used an LT Edition
nfa1 14 honestly I could have gotten
away with just the one in the back since the front fans will be hidden by the 3
and 1/2 in Bays anyway but it just didn't feel right I went for the 100%
complete versus just getting to the ending cinematic at this point it was time to
mount the motherboard and I found a small flaw in my plan I had to pull the
rubber grommets out of the case to avoid flexing the slightly wider than standard
ATX board then I used some fan cable
extensions and Splitters to reach the fan headers on the motherboard rather
than the on the back of the mobo tray IMO it's worth it so that I can set up a
custom fan curve that responds to system temperature changes in the BIOS versus
relying on a manual switch then I ran
all the wiring for the motherboard Drive video card and fans with the intention
of hiding as much of it as possible the
h440 lends itself very well to the clean
look with its hidden power supply basement thing the second to last
component was the SSD and I regretted my decision here I mean sure the hyperx
Savage is a fine SSD and 960 gigs is
lots of capacity no issues there but I regretted not finding a better way to
paint this one to go back and do it again I think I'd want to mask off a
pattern on the top or something but still once it was mounted it ended up
looking okay for the final stage I
waffled for a while about whether to mount the video card in the top slot the
traditional way or to move it down a little bit for better funu or whatever
and I ended up putting it a couple slots down it looks so much better there and
doesn't impact performance
anyhow so we're done what is until lus Tech tips
releases its own motherboard case video
card RAM SSD power supply and cables
actually as close as you can get to a fully LT Edition build thank you guys
for coming along with the ride and thank you for joining me now for the Moment of
Truth a yes oh yeah a last minute addition that
we added uh cable mod RGB LED strips
with Magnetic mounting which by the way makes a whole lot more sense to me than
the sticky sticky tape mounting that most of them use so thanks again for
