00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.040 So we are actually going to be trying 00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:50.080 to build a system better. 00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:51.520 So we're gonna be doing it together today. 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.240 And we are sticking with the Core i9-9900K 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.600 eight-core processor. 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.480 We are sticking with dual GTX 2080 Ti ROG Strix cards 00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:03.780 from ASUS, these are the overclocked versions. 00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:07.580 And we are sticking with 32 gigs of our DDR4 00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:10.180 3200 memory. 00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:13.500 We know that's not quite the fastest memory, but okay. 00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.640 That's the one thing that's not fasted. 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.540 Give us a break. 00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:19.180 So this is the DarkBase Pro 900. 00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:21.460 We have upgraded our power supply 00:01:21.460 --> 00:01:24.540 to a 1000 watt DarkPro 11. 00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.240 And perhaps most importantly, 00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:29.260 because this was our biggest problem, 00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:32.480 we have changed our motherboard. 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.100 Instead of trying to get away with three slots of spacing 00:01:37.100 --> 00:01:38.180 between our 28-bit CPU, we have changed our motherboard. 00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:38.280 Instead of trying to get away with three slots of spacing between our 28-bit CPU, 00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:40.100 we have changed our motherboard. 00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:42.680 By the way, pro tip for you guys, 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.140 those things run fricking hot. 00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:47.760 We have gone with a motherboard 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.920 that will allow us to have quad spacing. 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.360 And this was actually what necessitated the case change, 00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:58.280 because this is one massive Z390 board. 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.840 It's actually larger than standard ATX, 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.440 but not quite EATX. 00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:05.000 It's kind of in that in-between land. 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.580 What the hell is going on here? 00:02:07.580 --> 00:02:08.180 Is this like an old-school ATX? 00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:10.050 Is this an OC dial? 00:02:10.050 --> 00:02:12.650 Yeah, it lets you turn up your gaming to 11. 00:02:12.650 --> 00:02:14.210 It's madness. 00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:15.630 How much is this thing?

00:07:54.260 --> 00:07:56.260 The right one, I think, is not fully in. 00:07:56.260 --> 00:07:57.100 There's a gap. 00:07:57.100 --> 00:07:57.920 Oh, they're right. 00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:58.850 They disconnected. 00:07:58.850 --> 00:07:59.670 Damn it. 00:07:59.670 --> 00:08:00.860 All right, it's in now. 00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:01.700 Is it? 00:08:01.700 --> 00:08:02.540 Oh. 00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:03.380 Yeah, yeah, it's in now. 00:08:03.380 --> 00:08:04.220 Because I couldn't tell. 00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:05.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.060 Okay, want to grab one of the cards? 00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:07.900 Look at this thing. 00:08:07.900 --> 00:08:11.360 It's like thicker than my accent. 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.900 Yay. 00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:17.900 All right, so that's in like fricking barely. 00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:20.140 This whole system is nuts. 00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:21.440 So we're almost done 00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:22.740 with most of the standard wiring, 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:27.520 just connecting a USB 3 header here. 00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:29.140 But there's some interesting stuff 00:08:29.140 --> 00:08:33.840 about the case at the back. 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.600 So we've got, we can have performance or silent 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.400 configured along these four or these four ports. 00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:41.640 We're gonna go straight to performance 00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:43.420 based on our experience last time. 00:08:43.420 --> 00:08:48.480 Then we've also got the ability to plug in RGB 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.240 for our included LED strips right here. 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.080 You can connect the fan controller to PWM 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.240 and then you can use the included fan controller. 00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.660 So if you move it all the way over to the left, 00:08:59.660 --> 00:09:01.320 it just lets the motherboard control it. 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:02.840 And then if you move it over, 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.340 then you've got completely infinite control. 00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:08.200 So no steps, completely stepless control from either, 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.340 what is it, 400 to 1100 or something? 00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:15.260 Yes, and then the performance mode is like 600 to 1400. 00:09:15.260 --> 00:09:16.160 Sweet. 00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:17.300 All right, so let's do it. 00:09:17.300 --> 00:09:19.620 I'm gonna plug the RGB connector in. 00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:22.140 Single most important connector in this entire build. 00:09:22.140 --> 00:09:23.240 And we're getting close here. 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.080 Aren't we? 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.380 So one thing that's still left for us to install 00:09:26.380 --> 00:09:29.580 aside from our second graphics card is our hard drive. 00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:33.780 Now we can actually install hard drive cages 00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:35.220 in all of these guys up here 00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:37.000 and they're all included with the case. 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.140 But frankly, these two that sit under the shroud 00:09:41.140 --> 00:09:44.900 are enough for, I would think most people anyway. 00:09:45.920 --> 00:09:48.200 I mean, who installs like seven hard drives 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.300 in their systems anymore? 00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:52.940 And I'd just rather have the cooling from these fans 00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:55.040 than a bunch of hard drives here, 00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:57.140 especially with these graphics cards. 00:09:57.140 --> 00:10:03.300 Never a dull moment if you're into PCs being built. 00:10:03.300 --> 00:10:05.060 Okay, what the hell? 00:10:05.060 --> 00:10:05.900 What? 00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:10.020 Just, I can't get this back together. 00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:11.900 Oh, okay. 00:10:11.900 --> 00:10:16.640 Well, that went back together. 00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:18.040 Are you doing cable management right now? 00:10:18.040 --> 00:10:18.880 Aye. 00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:19.720 Okay. 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.560 All right. 00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:23.680 We are getting really frigging close here. 00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:26.180 This is exciting. 00:10:26.180 --> 00:10:27.740 If this is where I start singing, 00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:30.700 come a little bit closer, baby. 00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:32.780 All right. 00:10:32.780 --> 00:10:33.620 Here we go. 00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:34.460 So this is it. 00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:39.420 This is the PC building money shot, really. 00:10:39.420 --> 00:10:43.540 When you insert the second graphics card. 00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:45.720 Did you take off the protector? 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.200 Yeah, I did. 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.560 You think I'm new? 00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:50.400 You know, in Japan, 00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:51.240 they have this expression 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.500 that even dogs run into telephone posts. 00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:54.800 Where is the RTX bridge? 00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:56.480 Because you should not fasten it all the way 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:57.320 because remember, 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.020 we might have to move the cards around a little bit. 00:10:59.020 --> 00:10:59.860 You're right. 00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:00.900 And remember in the old studio 00:11:00.900 --> 00:11:03.320 when you had like power wiring to the servers 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:04.100 running under a faucet?
