Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The All ASUS PC”.
It’S been a couple months since we built a PC here on short circuit. So when Asus and Intel reached out about sponsoring a video showing off asus’s new line of tough gaming products along with Intel processors, we thought what better way to fix that than by building a PC with it. We’Ve got a full setup of gear here. There’S some over here there’s some over here, there’s some behind the camera that we’re going to get in here shortly and yeah we’re going to build a PC and it’s all going to start with a motherboard as usual. Of course, the most beautiful motherboard box we have here, I’m sorry, Asus love, you guys, but I’m going to call you out for for giving us a plain box for a sponsored, motherboard and part unboxing.
This is kind of weird, but I assure you what’s inside is much cooler than the Box. Specifically, this motherboard is the tough gaming, z790 plus Wi-Fi D4, the D4, meaning that this board uses ddr4, which is a great way to keep the cost down on a new build like this, and it kind of goes hand in hand with the tier of parts. So tough for Asus is kind of like their more mainstream, affordable line, there’s of course, Rog, which is usually a good bit more expensive. But these are kind of designed to give you all of the performance all of the functionality you need without being too crazy, too expensive too many like fancy knickknacks, you don’t really need. I mean there’s a good bit of USB.
Here. We’Ve got 20 gig. We got 10 gig type c 2.5 gig Lan, which is great Wi-Fi 6 on an Rog board.
You might see Wi-Fi 6E, but Wi-Fi 6 is still super fast. There is also display outputs in case you’re building a system and just using the integrated GPU other than that the i o that’s pretty much it on the board itself. Oh wow, this board’s got pcie Gen 5.
Damn boy got a Gen 5 by 16 slot at the top for a GPU. We’Ve got a one by slot here, another one by another four, and then this one looks like it’s a 16 but is actually electrically a four there’s no CMOS battery in this motherboard. We found the only CMOS battery in the bin is Sunbeam brand and I don’t know how old it is or if it works, so hopefully it does. If it doesn’t post that’s going to be the first place. I look what else we got on here: uh, there’s USB 3.2 front panel header, which is a nice inclusion man back in the day a couple years ago.
You would have to buy a five six seven hundred dollar motherboard to get that – and this is not going to be anywhere near that in terms of price, which is great what else we got m.2s, how many m.2’s they’re three m.2s on this board. We yeah wow. Three m.2s look at that: what Holy balls there’s four m.2 slots on this board yeah. On top of there being a lot of m.2 slots, I mean look at this: they all have the easy latch everybody hates m.2 screws.
It’S like a universal thing. This one doesn’t have any very good, it also just looks nice. I mean this.
Is It’s a 275 dollar board right now I mean you. Could you could tell me this is like a three four hundred dollar motherboard and I believe you one thing I forgot to mention about that. Gen 5 slot look button release. Thank you. Also.
It’S got the metal reinforcement which I think they call Safe slot yeah. They call it safe slot. It’S just kind of a reinforcement, especially if you look at how big graphics cards are getting. Have you seen those 40 90s they’re like this big? You don’t want that.
Just resting on a plastic slot, this is going to be a lot stronger. I guess let’s put a CPU in it. Of course, this is LGA 1700 z790 Intel, which means you’re gon na be using a 13th gen chip like this 13600k.
Try to make this build a little more normal, a little more mainstream. The 13600k is a very capable chip, even despite it being a bit mainstream. Like I mentioned before, this is a D4 board, so we’re going to be using ddr4.
This is some 3200 Mega transfer per second cl-16. Ddr4 16 gig sticks, maybe not the fastest Ram. You could put in this board by any stretch of the imagination, but should be fine what else we got here? Fans wow, tough gaming fans.
Three pack. Okay, did you know you can get this at ltgstore.com? It’S the Jerry rig everything knife. Okay got some cables.
What is this? Oh, it’s like a little controller, all right the Hub worth up to four fans to control their RGB. You can use this little three pin guy with the little included adapter to plug it into your motherboard’s addressable RGB control. What you’re going to want to do. I think this is mostly just here a as a splitter, so you can plug three of them in and B, if your motherboard doesn’t have an addressable, RGB header, you can get some extra like manual control here.
Oh, they also include a fan splitter nice. So for the fan power itself you just have to plug, you know one guy in there and boom. You can plug your three fans into that nice touch because wiring, three individual fans kind of annoying, hey look at that. We got a graphics card. Rtx 4070. Ti tough gaming, 12 gigabytes Ram. Aorus sync, of course, is the OC Edition. This is a much nicer box than the motherboard Asus, this particular card.
The OC Edition is around 850 bucks, but the non-oc version of this is 799.99 on the back. We’Ve got three DisplayPort and two HDMI, that’s a good Loadout. A lot of cars nowadays are just like 2dp to HDMI or 3dp one HDMI.
This one has at least two of each in terms of power. This card is using the new 12 pin connector. I don’t know if our power supply has it, but they include an adapter. So you can run two standard pcie eight pins into the fancy 12 pin when you’re plugging this in make sure that it is plugged all the way in in terms of the cooler. It’S a triple fan design, it’s a big cooler, I mean just look the card PCB ends here and the cooler actually goes all the way over here. So you’re gon na get some flow through these slots. Here it’s a little bit bigger than a three slot design. Just ever so slightly like this is three slots, and this shuts out a little bit. It uses military grade capacitors that are rated for 20 000 hours at 105 degrees Celsius. I imagine they’ll probably run a lot colder than that, so you should get more than twenty thousand hours, but other than that, just it’s a 470 TI. It’S gon na be a very, very fast graphics card. What’S left? Oh right, I need something to build the computer in. Oh, my God. What is this? The gt502 tough gaming case? Oh look at that. It’S got handles. Oh whoa! This is larger than I expected, but look it’s got handles, so I’m just like yeah. It’S fine! It’S it’s not that heavy! Actually, this is they’re very nice handles like look some padding in there, like God, damn brother.
What is this? Oh, oh, look at that quick release, side panels, whoa, look there’s some peels in! Oh! These are fan filters, nice. Okay, I’m not gon na peel, those in I’m just gon na leave them on there. That’S a little hack for you, they’re magnetic, but also you could just leave this tape here and then you don’t have to worry about the magnet coming off. Just leave it.
What else we got here? Okay, so this is a dual chamber design back here: you’re going to have power supply down here you can put fans up here. There’S some SSD mounts hard drive Mount, but it’s kind of like a second chamber back here, so everything’s separate. Apparently these straps can hold up to 30 kilograms, which is like over 60 pounds. I bet you these could hold more than that.
I feel like one of these could support 60 pounds but either way, that’s plenty enough to support an entire system. So if you were going to take this into a LAN party, this it up, take it for a walk. I got some clarification on the Dual Zone. You could put a second radiator back here that was specifically for cooling, your GPU, that’s why they say you could have dual zone Heating and Cooling, but if you’re using an air-cooled GPU like we are obviously the GPU is going to go in the front here. So it’s only one zone for that. This is a nice looking case. I have no idea what case they got inspiration from when building this one. I, like the quick release side panels, big tempered glass panel, which is nice, I’m a big fan of cases with glass in the front just because of the amount of access you get.
It does hinder your Cooling in some ways because you don’t have fans up here, but this case has a little trick up its sleeve. You see these steam outs here, a couple of fans there or an AIO or like a distribution plate for a water coin. Setup very versatile: how many fans can you put in this thing? We got one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ten, eleven twelve thirteen fans holy. That’S a lot of fans.
This is not a tough power supply. Do they make tough power supplies? Do we know this is also kind of a weird power supply for this build it’s sfxl, which is unnecessary and more expensive than a regular ATX power supply, which this case does support. However, it’s what I had over here already and most sfx power supplies come with a little adapter, so you can put them in an ATX case. Just like that, you see it’s like now.
It’S it’s big size say if you were planning or thinking down the road. Hey, I might do a small form factor build someday. Well, you could buy an sfx power supply, use the included adapter, and then you don’t have to worry about buying a new power supply down the road. A lot of the time I make this mistake, I’m like I’m gon na put my computer together. Put my computer together, throw the motherboard in there. Let’S do it motherboard’s in you put your AIO in and then you’re like crap. I didn’t run the cables. How am I gon na? I got ta fish, these stupid EPS cables through these little little doodads here, but this there’s a lot of space.
Even if you put an AIO here, it would be a little tight but um. If you don’t have an AIO here, because you can put the AO on the side with this case, you got all this access. You can cram cables through there. All you want no problemo wow, that’s a hell of a. What is this thing. This is a ryugen, 2.
240.. It’S got the mother of all bumps here. Jesus, I think. Most of it is this: oh yeah, wow whoa.
It just comes off what the hell yeah. Okay, that’s just! Basically all screen all right. Gpu goes in we’re getting there. Okay, that’s a computer right looks like a computer.
I’Ve never built one before so. This is this. Is all news to me whoa. Look at that. What is this? The tough gaming VG 78u 4K 144hz HD freesync premium 90. Dci, P3 color gamut. We got HDMI 2.1 g-sync one millisecond response time. Wow. This thing has a lot of ports holy crap.
Spinning around there is four HDMI inputs, DisplayPort audio and a USB hub. Two of them are HDMI 2.1 too. So you could have your computer plugged in over HDMI 2.1 and a console it’s like actually kind of dope.
Hey it lights up! That’S a good sign! All right! We’Ve got GPU tweak 3 open here they revamped the user interface. So it looks a lot nicer. They also overhauled the frequency and voltage settings and they also added automatic profile. Switching I’m just gon na, like yeah screw it. Let’S just set our power Target a little higher yeah. Oh man, we’re playing at 4K Ultra nightmare settings, Ray tracing on and we’re still over 100 FPS.
This game runs so good and looks so good that it makes other games just kind of a joke like how can they achieve these Graphics in this performance? And other games are not anywhere close. I mean there are. There are games that run good, but this one runs really good check our temperatures.
We got our CPU package temperature. Let’S see 57 degrees, we’re drawn 70 Watts you’re not going to be pushing your CPU too bad when you’re gaming usually uh. What do we got for graphics, card 64 degrees, 225, watts of power, 230 watts of power? It performs good, it’s quiet, it’s cool and best of all.
