This gaming PC is beautiful!

it's june that means it's father's day month and that's why today i'm going to be building one of the most overkilled gaming pcs that you could possibly build at the time making this video and i'm going to be giving away to a father that i think is very deserving so we'll kind of go to that at the end of this video but first we got to build it so this video is being brought to you by both intel and nzxt so we'll be going over some of the parts here um this has a lot of purple here uh it's gonna be a pretty insanely overkill build so starting with the case here i went with the white h7 flow the h series is a brand new series from nzxt built upon the legacy of like the h710 and h710i and all that however the flow variant is just just that it is all about airflow in mind with modern parts requiring so much power and they create so much performance cooling should be at your forethought when it comes to any modern high tier part so the h7 flow is going to deliver uh the airflow that we need to keep these parts cool i also went with white because uh the father that i'm giving this build to enjoys white computers i mean one of the first builds i ever did for this person uh was a white case and i've kind of tried to keep that tradition going over time not to mention i think white just stays cleaner longer the dust doesn't show up as bad in white so we live in a dusty deserty area i figured white would be the best place to go with that but the h7 series features enough room for 360 aios long graphics cards high tiered performance parts that you're just not gonna have to worry about can i fit these fans and this radiator and this graphics card that you know is a monster in this chassis the h7 is going to fit it and it's going to give us expandability in the future so for the motherboard we are using the brand new nzxt n7 z690 this is a 12th gen lga 1700 motherboard which obviously uses intel 12th gen however this is a ddr4 variant so if you're trying to follow along on these parts uh you know to try and talk about compatibility and stuff 12th gen intel does utilize both ddr4 and ddr5 and it's up to the motherboard manufacturer to spec which memory they're going to support so with it being ddr4 means that we can more easily pick from ram ddr5's availability is better however the price is still pretty high and ddr4 is fairly available so we can keep the cost down by going ddr4 and in terms of gaming we're not going to notice a difference whatsoever with having the ddr4 ram versus ddr5 that'd be more of a high-end productivity something that uses high texture bandwidth with whether it be video editing or photoshop working with giant images then ddr5 would definitely be potentially a noticeable upgrade so for a cpu we're going with a 12700k it's not as power hungry as a 12 900k but we still have eight p cores with hyper threading and four efficiency cores available to handle some of the lower level tasks without interfering with the fps and latency in your games allowing the p course to handle the most important tasks or the performance course but with intel's turbo boost max it will identify what the best performing cores are and it will assign those specifically to your game threads in your world threads so that you are going to get the best lag free latency free highest fps that you can possibly get in your game so this this system right here is going to be a gaming rig through and through maybe a little bit of productivity some live streaming 100 though this system is going to live its best life playing games so we went ahead and also paired that with 32 gigabytes of delta r t force uh ddr4 ram 3200 megahertz sticks cl 16 uh they are rgb of course you know gotta have the lights it's not a gaming rig if you don't have the lights rgb is really gaming build okay anyway so we got four sticks of t-force uh delta r ram right there in terms of storage i'm putting in a one terabyte 980 pro pcie gen 4 nvme ssd up to 7 000 megabytes read speed on this so in terms of loading in your game that that right there that's going to make your games load a heck of a lot faster and any textures and stuff that have to load while you're in a game the fast pcie gen 4 nvme is going to allow those textures to load even faster without as much pop in this is where we get over to the fun part we are also putting in an evga rtx 3080 ti for the win3 ultra it's got all the letters and all the acronyms which means it's got all the fps that's all you need to know about it right there so in terms of keeping things cool we do have our kraken x73 rgb um this is with the infinity ring on here not the lcd but it is going to allow you to be able to rotate it so it's always upright but 360 millimeters worth of radiator to keep our intel 12th gen as cool as possible remember the cooler you can keep your cpus the longer they can boost for so if you can fit a 360 aio which you can in the h7 flow we are going to be doing that in terms of power 1000 watt it's a c1000 gold power supply from nzxt this is going to have black sleeve cables which are going to look good in any build without having any ketchup and mustard or ugly nasty giant sleeping everywhere because we got a white build and this is a white kraken actually i know the box shows black but this is a white kraken we have some extra 140 millimeter nzxt fans right here these are the f140 rgbs so these are gonna be able to plug right into the rgb controller that's in the case which will plug directly to the motherboard which means we can use cam to control all of our rgb i'm not sure if we're gonna use this yet this is the vertical mount gpu kit which you can use to turn the h7 or any of the h series cases into a vertical mount it doesn't have it natively in the case you have to use an adapter like this i'm gonna see how it looks before i decide if i'm gonna use this or not so with all that said and all the parts listed you can find all these parts listed down in the description below if you want to know about more about those particular parts we need to now build the ultimate gaming rig for father's day [Music] so as you can see this turned out absolutely phenomenal and phil's b-roll makes all my builds look better than they actually are no just kidding they look good because phil's b-roll looks good because i build good computer so anyway there are a couple things that change let's go and talk about why that changed so you can understand you might have noticed our ram changed the reason for that is the team group ram can only be controlled by the motherboard it doesn't have its own standalone software at least that we could find to allow us to change the rgb modes the nzxt motherboard does not communicate with the ram like say some of the other rgb pieces of software out there do to allow you to be able to sync it with stuff that's happening we tried open rgb uh we didn't try signal lgb but we tried to open rgb um it for whatever reason could not see the team group so as an upgrade i went ahead and installed two 16 gigabyte sticks of because the other thing we noticed is you can't run four sticks of team group ddr4 the qvl for this motherboard does not support four sticks of team groups 3600 or 3200 megahertz whichever sticks they were i forget uh so we were getting boot loop problems we were getting a memory light to come on and we were getting boot loops and it wouldn't install windows like we can get in the bios and stuff just fine but we couldn't progress so taking out two sticks fixed the problem so instead of running 16 gigabytes of memory i put two 16 gigabyte sticks of ballistix max rgb 4400 megahertz dimms and it is running 4400 megahertz right here so the same amount of ram and it's only using two sticks and ballistics has their own mod it's it's called mod their software to control the rgb and stuff on here because again the motherboard doesn't control the rgb on the ram so that's why the ram changed also too we went ahead with the vertical mount even though i said i wasn't sure if i was going to because of the fact that i was worried about being too close to the glass but looking at their vertical mount here you can see it's so far back and so close to the motherboard there's tons of space in front of this this graphics card to be able to pull air into the cooler and not worry about it another thing that we really liked about this particular vertical mount because this this will work in other cases is it's got that foot you can see there's a foot in the front it is threaded and adjustable so it is taking some of that vertical weight although this is a perforated plate it does sag just a little bit with that weight but if it were a solid piece of metal it wouldn't sag as bad regardless you can't even tell unless you really look for it um the grip means the graphics card is not going to be flexing this way and putting all that torque on the case back there and it's performing you know it's we're going to test it right now but it's performing really well with this much gap because this cooler design too with that wave in it is also designed to allow it to have a volume of air in front of the fans had it been closer to the glass so everything with this build really worked out in terms of just fitting together really really well i wanna talk about camera quick cam has been around for quite a while no nzxt has not asked me to talk about cam i'm doing this on my own because i'm one of the first people on youtube that really showed cam and it's that's when it was kind of like a side pet project for one of their developers it was never intended to be anything like huge uh or even like a backbone of any of their software it became that way but one of the problems with cam in the beginning was the fact that it was very resource heavy running cam uh was significantly impact your cpu i mean we were they were seeing up over 10 to cpu usage just to run cam and it takes a lot of hard it takes a lot of overhead typically for a lot of sensors to be read for instance reading the cpu reading the usage the temperatures gpu temperature gpu usage what are the fan curves what's your current network speed your input your output or your uplink your downlink um what is your hard drive storage looks like what are your smart temps like to access all of those things that's a lot to ask for any piece of software to be able to do to this day people still go oh cam is terrible cam uses too much overhead and that's from people that have just are still basing their 2022 opinion off of their 2016 experience so i want to show you real quick here i've got cam up this is the dashboard here and you've got a ton of different things that you can see you can see right now we can see cpu temperatures at 27 c you can see our clock is at 4 900 our fans which right now this is technically um our aio because i do have the rpm header plugged into the cpu header and then the actual control for the ao plugged into the aio header on the motherboard but because it's an nzxt motherboard we can control all of those speeds and stuff through cam so it's nice to have one area to tie that all in without having to go into the bios to change things because this directly talks to the bios moving on um you can see here top processes this is telling you what's running and using the most of your cpu and your ram your network connection what are your drive storage is right here is your gpu temps and fan speeds and all that sort of stuff but check this out here's cam right here there's technically three instances of it running to do all this and as a whole it is using 0.1 cpu and 186 megabytes of memory to put this into comparison i have 3dmark running right now it is just sitting here in the background ready to go it is using anywhere from the same to twice the cpu that cam does and three times the memory well two a time and a half two times the memory that's just from having the application open this this right here is using more than cam is so i just wanted to point out that cam is something that they have definitely like improved upon over time so if you are running nzxt stuff you owe it to yourself to at least give cam another try even if you're not running nzxt stuff because it is free and it will work with anything on your system that it can communicate with so graphics card cpu it's good as an overlay to just tell you what's happening with your system and you can turn it on and turn it off as you please anyway that out of the way that was not sponsored this is again just my own opinion regarding cam they have definitely decreased the weight of it on your system speaking of weight on system i have it open right now because this is how i'm going to monitor temperatures right now i want to go ahead and let cinebench r23 run i have not personally run a 12 700 k yet this is my first time running it and really kind of paying attention to the temperatures and the scores and all that sort of stuff so it is an eight p core four e core system so the nice thing about the 12 700 k is instead of shaving down the p cores they actually shave down the e cores but four e cores is still more than enough to handle your non-intensive non-priority tasks keeping the overhead on your cpu low while the p cores are still available to do other things like for instance right now run cinebench right here right now it's at about 69c now this is updating slowly on cam because of the fact that this is considered a background task right now cinebench is such a heavy load it's so intensive a lot of the other software like this becomes a lesser priority so it makes sense right now that it is kind of not updating at the rate that i would like but i would also much rather the cpu handle something like cinebench than handling this in the background there we go so 71c is where we currently are that's the nice thing about the 12700k is the fact that it doesn't use as much voltage it doesn't have as many as much core density really it's just the e cores that shave down but it is a couple hundred megahertz lower than the 12 900 k so this makes it a lot more friendly on coolers and such so in terms of our score though it actually scored a 21 969 that's that's pretty amazing in terms of uh its performance there so let's do this now i want to uh also see where our gpu temps are going to be like so for precision x1 which is what we use for evga graphics cards the nice thing about this too is once you load evga's precision x1 it will if there's a firmware firmway a firmware update available for your evga card it will update the firmware so we're talking about things like the um the video uefi bios any compatibility is there it will update it we've talked about in the past before how 3080 ti's came out in a weird time where their video bios was having an issue with certain monitors and not giving you allowing you to get into bios just skipping it and going right into windows or a black screen altogether we did that video already but opening up precision with an evga card will update that bios i do have an overclock going here i've got 500 megahertz overclock on the ram which i know it'll go higher i know this card will go up to a thousand but i'm leaving at 500 um and a 100 megahertz overclock on the gpu core leaving the voltage slider where it is we do have our fan curve set to user defined which so it's not going to go into zero fan mode and then i've maxed out the power limit because again if there's going to be any sort of weird temperature issues i want to find them so what i'm going to do right now is i'm going gonna load up port royal port royal is going to load the card in its entirety it's gonna load the rt cores it's gonna load the cuda cores i don't think it's gonna load the tensor cores because that would take some load off but regardless we are going to run this thing right now through its paces and see what the temperatures are like if the vertical mount is a problem i want it to show us although i don't believe it's going to be one because there is a gap between it and the motherboard and stuff i think it's going to be perfectly fine so the air coming out of the back of the case is like maybe slightly warmer than ambient the case fans haven't even ramped up although i don't have any case fan ramping set up so that's the kind of stuff i would go in and tune the system for cooling you guys want me to do a video about system tuning and fan tuning for temperatures anyway um the rpm of the fans didn't even really ramp up on yeah we maxed out at 68c right at the end there with the fan curve not even like going higher we got a graphics score of a 13 694 like i mean that's not bad that's like that's right where the 30 90s were landing the 3080ti custom cards especially with that little bit of overclock is definitely uh keeping things nice and cool i mean obviously i'm not going to go through here right now and do like full tuning of it but this is the kind of thing i will do prior to to giving it to the father the fagia that i had in mind how about no you're crazy well this one just doesn't want to let me overclock it so whatever that's fine um so i'm just going to go back to the cork block where it was i'm going to let it loop now i'm going to turn up the fans a little bit and i want to see where the temperatures kind of cap out so i was only at loop and loop and loop and i was kind of finding where it would crash looks like about a 180 offset is where we crash however i had the voltage slider max to the max allowed voltage at an earlier frequency if we take a look at the hardware you can see we were 68 again was our max not bad at all not bad so anyway this has been a fun one because one of the things i really like doing on this channel is to just how can i take this and make it bigger than just me uh so i am going to be giving this computer to my brother-in-law frank for father's day let me tell you a little bit about frank real quick frank is a he's a single income parent so he's not a single parent he's married obviously and he's got three daughters i've got two daughters he's got three he's got me beat trust me when it comes to having his hands full and they're all much closer to age however uh he's a single income so his wife's a stay-at-home wife and he works really long crazy hours most of the time graveyard shifts to provide for his family he told me for a while that he was going to use his tax return to finally build himself a new computer for his wife so i and like i think it was 2018 right around 2018 for christmas i gave him a build that i built here uh because he was still running at the computer that i built on this you guys remember way back in the day like at the start of my channel i did a giant how to water cool pc tutorial where i was sitting in my living room with a table and the big white switch 810 case water cooled case uh actually no i think it was a phantom i can't remember which case is it's his case i don't remember um maybe it was a switch a10 it doesn't matter that's the same computer he was using up until that point had two 680 um gtx 680s in there in sli water cooled he gave that to his wife when i built him the new computer she has been using that computer ever since now i built that computer in like 2012 2013 that computer is going on 10 years old it can't play any modern title like without she she tries to play phasma with him he plays slash phobia she tries to play phasmaphobia with him goes to lee like a lot of the ghost hunters elite or ghost exile sorry these are indie titles that the computer just cannot run so instead of tax return tax return season kind of came and went and noticed i didn't really hear i expected maybe some questions like hey what do you think i should spend my money on i have no problems answering questions for friends and family obviously on how i would spec a computer didn't hear anything my birthday rolls around and he gives me an electric guitar he spent his tax return money on me so the least i could do is provide him with what i feel is the top of the line gaming system that you could build today realistically i mean 1200k could go in here but that would be wasted power and energy on something he's not going to use it for could still do plenty of live streaming with this no problem zero drop frames a 3080 ti i could use the invic encoder i can help him set him up to be the the best quality stream that he's ever had but that means the other computer he was using now he could give to his wife and now they can play together which is something they haven't been able to do and trust me as somebody whose wife wants absolutely nothing to do with computers nothing to do with gaming i'm envious over the fact that his wife my wife's sister plays games with him and mine doesn't so the least i could do is bring them together with that and uh frank i've you're seeing this video before i told you about it so now you know you can pick it up on sunday all right guys thanks for watching once again a huge and uh thank you to intel and nzxt for sponsoring today's video where we get to build the ultimate gaming pc for uh father's day and i cannot personally think of a more deserving follower for this computer to go to thanks for watching guys if you've got a dad a father figure in your life or you're a single parent filling the father role make sure you show some appreciation to that parent or that guardian trust me we need more than one day a year to celebrate our parents but uh if we have to do it only one day a year show some appreciation i lost mine in 2017 so do something before you can't anymore thanks for watching guys we'll see in the next one
