Building him a custom gaming PC!! Shooby from Netflix's "The Circle" (Part 1)

today we're going to start building a custom water cooled pc for a very special client who goes by the name of shoe bomb gown shoe bomb also known by his nickname shubey is one of the main cast members in the hit netflix reality tv show the circle a show that wifey sauce and i were oddly addicted to at some point we ended up binging the entire season one in a matter of days reality tv isn't really our thing but for some reason this show was just so engaging and unique to us that we uh we really found it enjoyable schube immediately became one of our favorite characters on the show due to his genuine and down-to-earth spirit so in one of the episodes when i heard him say he had a background in virtual reality and was working as a vr manager i quickly contacted him on social media and asked if he'd be interested in me building a custom rig for him for his vr needs obviously he was open to the idea but did tell me that vr had since taken a back seat for him since the show was filmed but that he was still very interested to get his foot in the door to pc gaming as well as live streaming so that he can connect with his new fan base as far as i know schube has never owned a super high-end gaming pc before so i'm really excited to see his reaction to this system when it's all said and done and to give him the opportunity to connect with his viewers in a new way as well as enjoying the joy and glory of pc gaming that we're also intimately familiar with so right now we're going to hop on a video call with shouby and just pick his brain about a few things find out if there are any specific needs or preferences that he has so we can help build on the best system possible before that this video is brought to you by the asrock z490 pg velocita supporting 10th gen and future generation intel core processors this attractive atx motherboard features a 13 phase power design with dual 8 pin connectors and active cooling for enhanced overclocking enjoy ample connectivity for the latest storage devices a robust io featuring intel 2.5 gigabit lan customizable rgb lighting and more to learn more about the asrock z490 pg velocita click on the link below should be my man how's it going dude thanks for being here yeah of course brother how are you man i'm i'm awesome man i'm just super excited to get this project underway for you man it's uh it's gonna be pretty sweet i wanted to ask you first and foremost sure amidst this whole pandemic thing are you okay are you healthy and sane shot men i really appreciate you asking me no i'm good spirits are good just for the family rest and working that's that's good to hear for killing time during the quarantine have you been gaming at all i have man i've been playing for honor and fortnite a little bit of overwatch i meant to start the new call of duty war zone though by the way i've heard great stuff about that dude okay so i'm not a huge like battle royale person but i really think it's like my favorite battle royale so far and i even got uh wifey sauce to play it with me and she's like she's not really a huge gamer by any stretch and she it's it's growing on her it's actually growing on her which which i'm really surprised by so dude we should squat up at some point for sure man like i'm so down once this like yeah then then we can suck together i'm really bad you might be good but i i'm terrible you'll have to carry me like we'll kill it we'll kill it okay sweet um but uh i'm guessing that you're playing on a console right now yeah yeah so i've been playing on my ps4 um i've actually been a console gamer my whole life pretty much you know ps2 ps3 336 i put so many hours on my 360. um you know i had the game boy also in those mobile consoles but yeah for the most part it's been yeah awesome man well hopefully we'll be able to get you uh added on to a new platform which is the first pc that'll be pretty sweet and um you said that uh apart from gaming you also were interested in streaming with a new desktop yeah could you tell me a little bit more about that like what your goals are with streaming what kind of content you plan to make and that sort of thing yeah man i mean i've always loved watching streamers play video games and gaming is a huge part of like you know me i just love gaming so i don't know if i'd be able to but i would just love to connect with the audience through that multitude i don't know what specifically i would do with streaming but you know first and foremost the gaming would be really fun streaming and talking to people would be great so yeah i think it'd just be a great avenue to explore absolutely man i mean you obviously have like a pretty beefy following ever since the show like you've got a fan base going so it would be a totally cool new way to connect with your audience too i'm sure whether it be with games or other things so we'll definitely get you set up with that man i hear you loud and clear um also i believe i sent you a couple slides that you can maybe look through with me right now yeah um if we start on the first one and we're just going to sort of talk about the pc itself at this point and just sort of narrow down exactly what you're looking for so we don't build you a system that you that you absolutely hate by the end of all this yeah we'll sort of sculpt it down here so starting with uh just the basics um size when it comes to size what kind of size do you see your system having because there's obviously a full range here and you can tell from the slide it can go all the way from smaller to large and just sort of the pros and cons of each on each spectrum is that with a smaller system obviously it's a bit more portable and compact so if you're on the go that could be really helpful um but then as you go larger you also have a bit more compatibility uh and maybe a bit more expansion down the line so what kind of way are you leaning right now you think first i just love the banana on top of these three very good thank you for noticing thank you for noticing my hard work in these uh beautifully crafted slimes i love a very nice motif but yeah you know what man i think i do definitely see the drawback between power and size and then also compatibility i think for me i'm definitely gonna love the mobile kind of the smaller one i'm gearing towards because then you know i can take it on the go and it's less restricted in the location and i can bring it with me yeah i think for this i'm leaning towards the smaller one absolutely man and there's a lot of like mini itx cases out there now that that have really good hardware support water cooling support and things like that um so we can still probably get you the best of both worlds while while making it pretty compact yeah that'd be awesome man on the second slide um we've got style to talk about so yeah just briefly looking at these four options when it comes to your sort of own cosmetic tastes and preferences yeah do any of these kind of stand out to you and what are your thoughts on them in general sure sure well i mean my first instinct is number four kind of looks like a a refrigerator like a small refrigerator many computer cases have been compared to like kitchen appliances in the past so you're like dead on right there oh hell yeah man i feel like a jeopardy dude i got the right answer what up yeah man i'm definitely getting kitchen vibes there i like the design but i don't think i'm leaning towards the refrigerator number two is cool it has like an antique look but it still kind of reminds me of one of those old ac units one is really cool it's kind of intimidating a bit though because it looks like one of those big skyscrapers in like a dystopian universe i'll never look at that case the same now that you've said that thank you you know what man my heart and gut is saying number three i love it's just so sleek it's so clean it just looks so nice it's like yeah i love three for sure awesome dude awesome and three is a i mean they're all very popular cases for good reason it's got a really smart interior layout the build quality is great um the one thing i will say is that this particular case which is the fractal design nano s does have an acrylic side panel window where all the other ones have tempered glass that's because it's a slightly older case but it still holds its own very much so you know in 2020 um but i think we can maybe work with that i know some modern friends uh who can maybe carve out like a custom glass panel for this thing how's that sound hey that sounds so amazing thank you man awesome i'll definitely look into that for you and then moving on to the third slide here um this is just a picture of actually one of my personal pcs this is hotline 2.0 um that i built about a year or so ago and the reason why i'm showing it to you is because i just sort of want to get your i want to pick your brain on custom water cooling loops and this is a custom water cooled system all of the tubing has been uh custom bent by by yours truly uh so it's amazing it looks as good as it does um but i kind of wanted to just ask if this is something that you're all in or all out with because custom water cooled pcs are very nice looking i mean they look super badass and they're they're just that they're custom you can make them look extremely unique they're one of a kind and they actually improve performance they can improve performance quite a bit um the one downside the main downside is that they're high maintenance you have to be on the lookout for leaks there's there's always the risk or chance of leaks but you know if you do the proper maintenance and you clean out your loop regularly uh it can serve you well for for many years and of course you know i'm always on on call if you need help with that so i just want to get your two cents on this are you all in or all out with a custom loop um you know what man these loops have always been so fascinated and intrigued by yeah man i think for me definitely i would love to explore because i never know what i don't have till i have it yeah man i'm all i'm all in 100 awesome dude awesome i i would have been totally fine had you gone the other way as well but i'm super excited that you're all in because these are really fun for me to build i mean i i can get really creative with them and like i said it just turns out a more unique product for you at the end of the day so awesome and then uh moving on to the next one this is also another yay or nay question rgb yeah man i possibilities is my favorite word you know what i mean i think it's very cool i think the whole customizability like just having the option to just do follow a pattern follow a song create like a vibe with it is very sick i used to have these speakers like water speakers and it would be i know exactly the ones you're talking about i had them in my dorm they were so cheap but like i felt like the coolest kid whenever someone came over and saw them and we were like gaming i was like oh my god i look so badass those speakers are like the perfect dorm accessory those were made for a college door light that's what they should be really but yeah man i love it i think it's such a cool function and if we're going water loops we should just do this it's like we got to do it you know what i mean exactly you do one you do the other go big or go home all right and then the last question here are there any uh any colors that you'd want included in this build if you have any favorite colors the sort of color palette you're thinking well man i just wanted to compliment you because you're wearing my favorite color blue oh beautiful that's actually coincidence i didn't intend for that oh no i'm a huge i love blue so much so blue is definitely a color i would love if we could put that in yeah and then i also i don't know lately i've just been finding such a fascination with red again and i think the contrast adding a red to it would just give that added flare but yeah blue for me man is that's the vibe for sure would you be open to that if like the actual coolant in the system was blue like it had like a blue color flowing through the whole thing through all the tubes and the the water blocks and stuff does that sound well you blew my mind i'm so stoked for that okay cool dude that that gives me a great idea of which direction to take this building so far and i'm i'm super excited to see how this thing turns out and to really get started on it right now so that's gonna do it though i i appreciate your time dude i couldn't be more thrilled to be doing this with you and uh thank you so much for for everything yeah thank you man so much for reaching out this is so sick and i'm like i'm such a fan of the work you do here so this is amazing thank you so much i appreciate that all right dude have a good one stay safe out there and uh i'll be talking to you soon hell yeah man so after talking to schube i've spent the last few weeks locking down hardware for the build and i pretty much have all the parts ready to go let's go ahead and discuss all the core components first and i'm actually going to cover each of the individual custom water cooling parts as we go about the build so it's not all all at once that might take a while let's go ahead and start off with the cpu which is of course the amd ryzen 9 3900 x 12 core 24 thread cpu this is an all-around fantastic chip for gaming streaming video editing pretty much anything should be interested in doing this thing's gonna be able to handle it with flying colors and i'm really excited to be using it in today's build in no particular order here our power supply is the fractal design ion sfx 650g this is an sfxl unit so it is small form factor even though our case can support full-size units i wanted to go sfx just to give us a little bit more space to work with because things are going to look pretty cramped when we're all done here but this is a very nice unit it's 80 plus gold certified and fully modular has a very quiet fan inside as well for storage we've got a two terabyte mp600 nvme ssd from corsair it is pcie gen 4 which is fully supported by our x570 motherboard the asus crosshair 8 impact this is one of the most legendary mini itx motherboards that's ever hit the market it does ship in the mini dtx form factor which is an elongated version of mini itx so it can house more components and man does this thing take advantage of that it's loaded with features the rear i o is absolutely insane there's a debug led i really like the so dim.2 module that lets you access your drives easily which is going to be super clutch in a build like this and the vrm in this board is just ludicrous i mean it's got active cooling tons of phases and it's going to be plenty of stable reliable power for our 3900x for memory we have 32 gigs of g-skill trident z neo ddr4 3600 cl 16. i wanted to up the mainstream 16 gigabyte capacity so that should be has a bit of overhead to work with very nice kit this is the zotac gtx 1080 ti arctic store mini and there's actually quite a bit of rationale as to why i picked this card over something like a more modern rtx 20 series touring based gpu the reason being is that this is the fastest graphics card that'll fit in this system that can be custom water cooled zotec does make an rtx 2070 super mini that would fit in this system but there's currently no supported gpu water blocks for that card so far i've only been able to find custom water blocks for their rtx 2070 non-super mini which is quite a bit slower than a gtx 1080 ti so in the end i chose raw performance and frame rates over things like real-time ray tracing and other rtx technologies briefly looking at the fans we'll be using for the build we've got two fractal venturi hp-12s these are gonna be our front radiator fans they won't be seen very much but they do have high static pressure so they do a great job of dissipating heat we also have a three pack of corsairs ll-120 series rgb fans these are gonna be our bling fans that will be more visible in the build two of these fans will be on the top radiator and the third fan will be at the rear assuming there's room and that brings us to our case which is the fractal design defined nano s you guys probably could have assumed that this was going to be a compact build due to our motherboard and based on what shuby was saying about wanting to take his system on the go periodically so i think this is a great choice it's it's got a small footprint it's compact it's easy to lug around but it also has a lot of great custom water cooling support it'll accommodate our mini dtx motherboard just fine as well it does have an acrylic side panel window which scratches easily and it's not the best it's a bit dated for a case these days which is why i've partnered up with the very talented lee of pc junkie mods he's currently working on a custom glass panel for this build as we speak and he does some amazing work if you want to check out some of his stuff i'll put a link down below but this way schube will have two panels available to him he can use the acrylic one when he's traveling if he's worried about glass shattering and things like that or he can use the custom mod panel when he wants the system to look its absolute best and the last item we'll talk about before we start putting things together are these beautiful full length sleeved cables from nsourced joey from men's source does a fantastic job i've been using him for years he does a perfect job every time look at how awesome these look i'm going to take it out of the bag really quick absolutely beautiful black and blue asymmetric design blue being shooby's favorite color of course i think he's really going to love these so guys check out and sourced down in the description below joey will take care of you for all of your cable sleeping needs but those are the core components that we're using again like i said i'm gonna be going over all the custom water cooling hardware as we go about the build but i am super excited to finally get this build underway [Music] all right our motherboard assembly is coming along pretty nicely here it's already looking super beefy but now we can start talking about some of the custom water cooling hardware we'll be using starting with the ek quantum velocity i have not used this block before but i have used plenty of ek water block products in the past like everything else ek makes this one has a very high build quality and it looks great as you can see i got the nickel and plexi model so we can actually see the coolant through the block which is always fun should do an awesome job very excited about that we also have some radiators from bitspower these are their slim touch aqua rads and these are 240 millimeter radiators about 20 i want to say 27 or 28 millimeters thick just slightly thicker than your average case fan but we've got two of these exact same rads one will go at the top of the case the other will go at the front it's my first time working with these radiators and so far i'm very impressed looks like a pretty nice spin density i love the matte black finish and that just seems like a very sturdily built radiator these have already been flushed and cleaned out so they're pretty much ready for building and that moves us on to our pump res combo this is from singularity computers this is their protium pump res combo so we actually have a reservoir up top and the d5 pwm pump below it's my first time working with a singularity product as well and i got to tell you this thing reeks quality it's so incredibly well built it's also got these mounting brackets that we'll use to mount this thing to a radiator probably the front one i would imagine something like that uh what i love about this design at the top of the res is that the cap is two parts and they're decoupled so if you unscrew this part you can actually rotate this guy so you can face the ports any way you want that is tremendously helpful and such a smart design the d5 pump attachment looks very nice as well i absolutely love the finish on this cover i just the attention to details are top notch everything about this is super nice they've got some black sleeved cables that terminate to a 4 pin pwm connector and molex for power there's still a lot of other water cooling parts we have left to discuss but for now we can get kraken on installing the water block our cpu block onto the motherboard which would be pretty straightforward mounting our radiators and then mounting this guy which this is this is our first encounter with potential clearance issues okay so here's here's what's going on so my vision for this build was to have a radiator like i said at the front and i'm not confident that these radiator fans are going to be able to stay on the inside of the case you might have to mount them to the outside just underneath the front panel which obviously would restrict airflow quite a bit so i'm obviously not leaning towards that maybe i'll swap them out for slim fans instead so if we put them on this side of the case they'll at least be able to breathe a lot better but we'll have to wait and see how that shakes out the reason why the fans might not work right here is because we might have clearance issues once this is installed with our graphics card so assuming that it's going to be sort of configured like that we've got the graphics card here which now looks like it's it's just not going to work it's not good it's going to be really really tight i mean it could work but it also won't look that great if it's brushing right up against the tube there so that's why i might have to end up using slim fans for this radiator instead we'll just have to see how it goes apart from horizontal clearance i'm also concerned with the vertical clearance of this pump res because once we have the top radiator installed you can see here there just won't be enough room for a fan on that part of the rad we can definitely fit a fan over here no problem but it's a no-go right here unless we swap that tube out for a much shorter one which i don't think will look nearly as good at that point you're gonna be seeing more pump and cap than you will actual reservoir and i know schuby does like the look of these reservoirs so i kind of want to squeeze a bigger one in there if i can it's just a matter of am i willing to forego one radiator fan to get it done let's just play around with it and see how it goes before we start though i should mention that i won't actually be able to mount this pump res to a radiator right now at least in this part one video because the very awesome folks at singularity i think they just forgot to include the mounting strips that you can mount to radiators or fans in order to pretty much be flexible in how you uh mount this pump rise it's got a bunch of threaded holes all up and down the rails so it allows for flexible mounting but those were not included in the package i couldn't find them they should be here by part two but for now we're just gonna have to sort of eyeball this but that's what we're up against right now so let's just carry on and see how things shake [Music] out [Music] [Music] [Music] the build's coming along pretty nicely everything's looking good so far uh don't mind the leaning tower it's fully supported perfectly safe but we are pretty much ready to get our gpu block installed onto this guy which means we have to remove this one and replace it with this one this is from bixkey i've never used their product before but they seem to get pretty good marks online build quality looks solid this block is actually made specifically for the gtx 1080 ti arctic store mini from zotac the reason i'm using this block instead of the stock one is because the stock block doesn't actually have ports on the top you can see it does have them on the bottom and on the side you can't really use the side ports in this case though there's just not enough clearance it'll hit the side panel whereas this you've got ports on the top and bottom so it'll give us a bit more flexibility with our runs i also think the style looks pretty cool i like that plate even though it'll be probably mounted it'll be mounted like this upside down the only thing about this block is it doesn't come included with the back plate we might be able to use this one but uh this one's this one's a little a little bland so i thought i'd spice things up for shoebe and actually get a custom made backplate from the folks over at v1 tech these guys are awesome they did the same back plates for hotline 2.0 and they turned out fantastic i had them help me out this time around as well it just says shoebe and there's the netflix circle logo in the background it does light up it's got an led strip that can be controlled with the remote control that's included or you can even hook it up to the motherboard rgb header so that's pretty sweet there is however one kind of massive problem here and this is 100 due to an oversight by yours truly and that is the esso dem.2 module is uh is is beautiful and i love it it's an amazing piece of engineering but unfortunately it covers a very large portion of our nice back plate so that that doesn't look great that's not good and there's no other m.2 slots on this motherboard the only two slots are on this module so if you're not using the module you're pretty much sol when it comes to nvme m.2 support on this board so the other option would be to remove the module and replace the nvme m.2 drive with a two and a half inch sata rev 3 ssd yes it would be slower but it would still be plenty fast for shoebee's needs and while the mp600 is an amazing drive you really have to be doing some heavy lifting and specific types of workloads in order to fully realize that 5 000 megabytes per second bandwidth so yeah that's the uh that's the second option the third option would be to replace the motherboard entirely with a board that has a more conventional m.2 slot like maybe like it would probably be right here and it would just mount you know kind of flat against the pcb and that could work too that way we'd get our pcie gen 4 speeds and still be able to see the back plate in its entirety the downside there is that it wouldn't be a crosshair 8 impact which is a phenomenal board in many other ways besides the so dim.2 feature like i said the power delivery the vrm on this board is pretty much unmatched in its class and i don't know how i feel about sacrificing that for faster storage speeds that should be may not even be using so i think he'll be benefiting overall from day-to-day use with a more robust power delivery in vrm than he will a pcie gen 4 nvme ssd i think if we put in a two terabyte sata rev three six gigabit per second drive the real world benefits of nvme ssds would go more or less unnoticed to him with all that said we're gonna keep the board and we're gonna take out this guy i don't know exactly what drive i'm gonna use to replace the mp600 yet but it is gonna be a two terabyte six gigabit per second ssd so we can keep 100 of the storage in the system with no moving parts once the gpu has been prepped we'll be ready to start playing around with some fittings we have all of our fittings provided by bits power they are the one true fitting king in my book they have extremely high quality products all their fittings are super nice and they have that little gold accent on them that also just looks amazing um but we have pretty much every kind of fitting you can imagine from their lineup here i should also mention that these are hard tube fittings so we are going to be doing hard line tubing in this build as i'm sure you guys probably expected we are gonna do a 14 is this 14 millimeter yes i'm not crazy 14 millimeter outer diameter and the tubes are also provided by bits power hopefully they gave me enough if not i've got some extras lying around but that's what we're dealing with now so uh let's go ahead and get this block onto here get the back plate on install the gpu and start messing around with these guys all right let's hop to it uh we we have a problem there's there's something wrong um the block the block doesn't fit yeah it's it's not it doesn't fit you see how these capacitors are arranged you've got four here and four here with a gap in the middle well look at the cutout how it's actually machined you've kind of got enough space for this bank of capacitors but over here instead of having one large cutout there's this little piece in the middle that interferes with the caps over there so it's just it's the wrong block which is really lame because when i bought this it said zotek gtx 1080 ti mini and this is the only mini 1080 ti that zotec makes so i looked on their website on bixky's website just to see if i could find something and i found this i found the water block zotac heavy ti mini full coverage gp water block and it looks to be the same one but if you look closely does it zoom this doesn't zoom okay if you look closely you can see that the cutout is in fact different for the capacitors and that looks like it's the right one that looks appropriate and if you look at the model name over here it's nst 1080 ti mi v2 x v2 x this is almost the same but it's 4x so i bought the wrong block in my defense the pictures on amazon for this product are inaccurate so this is actually the v4 the one that i purchased right v4 and if you look at the the cutout there for the block that is completely different than that so even if i had gone to the bixe website first to confirm which block i needed i still would have been misled by these false pictures on the amazon product page so now this kind of sucks right because i don't have a block that i can work with which means i need to buy another one as far as i know bixkey is the only one that i've been able to find for this particular gpu i can't change the gpu because it's the only one that fits and i want to compromise too much on speed but if i buy another block who's to say that i'm not just going to get another bad block that doesn't fit not to mention the shipping times look at that may or june sure i could probably pay 80 to 100 to get it by mid-may but come on at the same time what choice do i have i kind of have to pull the trigger on another one of these things and just roll the dice again it's it's kind of stupid at this point and it's just delaying the build further and further which is really annoying but uh these things happen it's been a while since i've had a build project give me this many problems right out of the game i guess i was due for one right i mean at this point my hands are tied guys i can't really progress any further until more parts come in so i'm gonna call it here this is part one this is part one of the shoeby build uh shoebe by the way if you're watching this you're awesome don't blame yourself for any of these issues in fact most of these problems are my fault but i am sorry to keep you waiting i hate to keep pushing this build back but i promise you it will be worth the wait make sure you guys smash that like button if you enjoyed it get subscribed for more tech content coming at you really soon and i will see y'all in the next video
