Saying click the link below to find out more thanks again to LastPass for sponsoring this part of the video now onto the build so guys I’ve been busy building, pcs and setups. For my subscribers and my friends and even recently gave away the original big red to an Instagram follower, I’ve actually used that PC for the longest time on the channel, and that was my first ever custom PC. I built for myself and I was very happy with it so before I give it to an Instagram follower, I actually gave it to my brother and then I built myself this big red version. You know what guys it’s been a while since I’ve treated myself – and I think it’s finally time that I upgrade my very own PC truth be told.
I was not happy with this build at all, it was rushed and it did not come out the way I expected it to be. It came out pretty bad. For starters, the case is really bad for airflow and the bends aren’t garbage. It looks like a third-grader.
Did it, and on top of all that the fans stopped working, the RGB lighting on the bottom? Three fans are completely out and the lighting from the other fans and even the RGB strips cannot be changed and we install the software and even reconnected the cables and nothing. I can’t even control the speed of the fan, so there’s something wrong with the commander Pro or the fans itself. It’S also pretty loud for a water-cooled build the pump noise gets really annoying and you can even hear the liquid going through the flow meter. Let me turn this on and show you guys. Oh yeah long story short.
It was a big disappointment in myself. You know I talk pretty big when it comes to being a perfectionist, and then I build something like this. Even the flow direction is incorrect on here. The inlet of the top GPU is going into the inlet of the CPU block. I don’t know what on earth. I was smoking while I was building this, but it was probably something really good. So not only am I gon na build myself a brand new PC, but I’m also gon na redeem myself and my reputation. I’M not gon na put this out until it is completely done and it comes out exactly the way that I want it. This videos gon na, have a three-part series. Part one is gon na, be putting out all the parts together and testing all the components making sure everything’s working part two will be the actual build process and the modding, and then the finale will be basically benchmarking.
Overclocking and thermals, I’m gon na focus one video just on all that so yeah with that said, let’s go over some parts, so the biggest change is the case. This is the pan. It’S an open-air mid tower case from Raja Tech and actually did a water cooling tutorial on it, and I fell in love with it.
I guess you can say it was love at first sight, I’m gon na throw in to RTX 20 80 TI founders edition, and this is gon na replace both of the 1080 T eyes. From my current build, I eventually went a game in 4k or I guess 3k, since I’m using an ultra light, but I do want max out settings. I want smooth gameplay as much frames as I can squeeze out of these bad boys, and I know it’s overkill guys believe me, but it is my personal build, so we got to stick with the overkill theme, so the cooler we’re gon na be using temporarily to Cool the CPU just to make sure all the parts are functioning is the courser h1 15. I RGB platinum.
We are going to be using the same cpu from my current PCB 79 80 XC, it’s an 18 core processor and it’s deleted by Steven from gamers Nexus. But just for this video we are going with, I don’t know what CPUs in here actually take a look at it. Ok, so this is the I 970 900 X. The muezzin is temporarily just to make sure all the parts are working, I’m not quite ready to bring over to CPU just yet, because I am still using that PC for gaming and editing.
So until all the parts are here ready to go. That is when I’ll be doing the transplant. In fact, the only parts I’m not changing are the CPU and the storage I’m gon na bring over both of my end back to us as these, but check this out guys.
I’M gon na be adding this beast. This year is a 9th gigabyte intel obtained SSD the 905 p-series, and this thing has incredible: read and write: speed, 20 700 megabytes read and 2200 right. I’M definitely switching my operating system on here, along with my video editing software and any other games that I’m playing a lot of which is currently Resident, Evil 2 Darksiders 3 and black ops 4.
But yeah very excited to put this in the build. I’M gon na paint this white. Obviously so it matches the theme. My other two I’m got to us as these are gon na, be used mainly for storage. I’M also upgrading the RAM from 32 gigs at 3200 megahertz to 64 gigs at 3600 megahertz of the Corsair Vengeance RGB pros, since this is a super high-end water-cooled build with heavy overclocking emphasis on heavy overclocking. There is only one board that can get the job done.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing you to the asus rog rampage 6 apex. The purpose of the apex motherboard is actually to break performance records, as they say it has two eight-penny PC connectors, which will aid in a very stable overclock. We got four separated them slots and four PCI x, 16 slots with lots of connectivity. We got wireless AC, USB type-c and a dual them that 2 socket for my m2 SSD. This is gon na be a power-hungry system, especially since we’re gon na be pushing both GPUs and the CPU to its limit. So I have to give it enough power. Hence why I picked up the 8 X 16 in July from coarser. Oh yeah, guys.
Is that pretty much all the parts I’m gon na be using inside my new PC, the water cooling parts which will arrive before episode 2? I’M very excited to finally build myself. A new PC, if you guys, are excited as well make sure to drop a like and I’m gon na shut up for the rest of the video and let you guys enjoy this montage [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ], [ Applause, ] [ Applause ], and we are finally done. Ladies and gentlemen, big red is alive and kicking. Good news is that all the parts are functioning perfectly.
The bad news, however, is that we came across a few snags which is okay. That’S the point of this video. Not only testing the parts out, but also making sure that we’re not gon na run into any problems on the actual build itself. So the first mistake was actually a very new mistake of mine. I miscounted the spacing for the PCI slots. I picked up a three slot nbme link when in reality I needed a two slot, so I went back on the website and I ordered that, so that is on the way, so the second issue has to do with the expansion kit.
So normally this case only supports up to a three sixty millimeter radiator, which fits on this side. I just put three fans here just to showcase where the other radiator would go, but does it support any other radiators unless you guys buy the optional expansion kit, which sits on the top over here and ratchet like actually was kind enough to send that to me. So the kit comes with three aluminum bars that mounts on the top of the case, giving you mounting options to add another 360 millimeter or smaller radiator, and then you put this giant piece of tempered glass on top and screw it well, if you guys pay attention Over here you can see that it covers the USB ports and the power button. So right now I have an easy way of turning on the system.
The only option I have right now is right on the motherboard itself, so have to reach my hand inside and click on the power button right now. It’S not really a big deal because I can reach it easily, but once the PC is done with all the tubing, it’s gon na get kind of annoying constantly reaching in there and switching the PC on. So I had to find an alternate solution, so I went on Amazon and I bought this remote so that I can turn the PC on wirelessly. The other issue still remains. I can’t access the USB ports on the top, which isn’t a big deal for me.
I don’t really use the USB ports on the front or the top of the case anyways. What I usually do is I use a USB hub, so I plug it in the back and then I route it underneath my desk for convenience. So that is not a big deal for me.
I got to say I do love the wide extension cables that I got from courser. I personally think it’s gon na blend beautifully with the build once everything is painted white. What else? Oh, I don’t really like how the PCI cables are kind of going down and to the side. So what I’m gon na do is is drill a hole right underneath the motherboard so that I can run the GPU cables straight down.
It’S gon na look way cleaner. That way, and, of course, custom cables are on the way as well, but yeah guys that’s pretty much over the video. I really love how the case turned out with the expansion kit. I think the build is gon na, be pretty damn sick once it’s all done again, I could be biased, but it’s gon na be, like I said guys, the best build on the channel thus far it is my own PC after all, so that’s why you guys Have to subscribe with notifications, because part two is going to be an awesome video, if you guys enjoyed it, make sure to toss a like and if you guys did enjoy the video feel free to dislike as well. If you guys have any recommendations or any feedback on this case or the build itself, please let me know in the comment section I will be reading them and that’s pretty much it I’ll drop a link to all the parts mentioned below. If you guys want to check them out, I love your beautiful faces and helpful.
See you in the next one peace. You can go: okay, .
