Ultrawide Festival 2015 $10,000 DREAM SETUP - Live Build

oh i left my thing okay i'm live welcome friends to something a little bit different it actually is kind of surprising to me that it's taken this long for me to do this i will be doing yes with my flippy knife and my flippy screwdriver i will be doing a live pc build this is actually the machine that i worked with the winner of lg's ultrawide festival hence the sweater that i actually just put on randomly this morning and worked out as a happy accident that i'm wearing so i'll be putting together the machine that i worked with the winner of ultrawide festival to well pick out all the parts for and then well put together in theory he was supposed to put it together himself but i picked out a bunch of stuff that frankly i wasn't really 100 sure would even work so i was like you know what bro why don't you have it sent to me i'll put it together for you and i'll stream it which is pretty cool i think so check this out i have two cameras i have two camera angles i have that i have the top down camera angle got my like stab and screwdriver and then i got the uh more in the front more traditional camera angle so without further ado i guess we'll pretty much get started actually now one thing i'm going to do is i'm going to grab my laptop so i can talk to you lovely twitch chat people today most of you are lovely i've already seen star wars by the way our our bot is set up to ban people for star wars spoilers so i really wouldn't tempt the gods on on that one right there ah one two three four so i get to interact with twitch chat the wretched hive of scum and villainy that it is wow we have 1400 people watching me have audio difficulties i guess that shouldn't really surprise me because it's the same as every week all right so why don't we start with the usual thing where i walk through all the different parts that i picked out and sort of why so for the case we went with a fractal design define r5 we were gonna go with some totally like wonko tastic in win thing for like nine hundred dollars because we were like yeah whatever we got a ten thousand dollar budget uh instead we ended up rebalancing that so he could afford like a more reasonable case and like a laptop so um so yeah we went to define our five it's quiet it looks good it's black it's fractal it's reasonably well built uh in terms of motherboard things get a little bit of more of a long story this is actually not the motherboard we intended to buy but it doesn't make that much of a difference we were going to use the deluxe this is the x99a i think it's missing basically so we'll have to fight excuse me we'll have to find some kind of solution to that particular little little whoopsie um for cpu this is pretty cool now a normal youtuber probably would have told our winner hey you could get yourself an extreme edition but i'm linus so i was like hey let's get an e5 2690 v3 i don't even remember how many cores that has i'm going to have to look it up right now in case you guys are wondering here's a really cool pro tip arc ark is intel's little site for finding out all the information you could want to know about pretty much all of their cpus so the 2690 v3 is a he stalls for time he hits specifications so it's 12 core cpu that runs at a nominal frequency of around 2.6 gigahertz but can turbo boost up with pretty much the best of them so that was why we went with that uh what else we got here there's some cool stuff oh okay so ram we went with the ecc ram we got uh 64 gigs so four 16 gig sticks of ecc memory because quite frankly it's gotten to the point where memory is fast enough and so is so our cpus so this is uh 2133 megahertz stuff some samsung stuff that was on the qvl for the deluxe board so i really hope it works otherwise i'm going to be stuck with some ram that i don't need and the winner ryland is going to end up with some of my ram if it if it comes to that all right in terms of coolers here's another little little mistake we were we asked for some knock 201 they sent us a cooler master hyper 212 yield the reality of it is um these zeons in spite of all their cores actually don't run very hot it helps to have the heat distributed more so that cooler is going to do just fine for us and you can't overclock the ons anyway so really really not too worried about that in terms of power supply we went with an rm1000i i had actually he picked this out himself and i was like dude it's a thousand watt power supply you don't need a thousand watt power supply and he was like yeah but it's a really good deal and i was like you're right uh this was a really good deal when we ordered it so i was like okay you can have your overkill power supply i guess that's fine uh these are cool so a lot of people uh including including rylan don't know this but you can actually buy just generic ram sticks that don't have heat spreaders on them because remember guys the heat spreaders really don't do anything so you can just buy like whatever ram sticks you want and then you can actually get pretty cool looking here i'm going to switch to my alternate angle here you can get pretty cool looking um like after like aftermarkety looking heat spreaders that actually look pretty cool so we picked up four of those although it should be noted that buying those uh aftermarket is quite a bit more expensive than buying them included with your ram so you don't end up saving a ton of money the only reason we ended up doing it was that we wanted to um we wanted to get ecc memory none of which comes with like cool gamery looking heat spreaders or anything like that for storage we went with the usual so we've got our uh we've got our one terabyte samsung 850 pro and then we've got our solid-state storage backed up by two wd red six terabyte drives he actually didn't specify how he wants those set up so i'm going to put them in raid one because i suspect six terabytes is more than enough for him we went with linus tech tips edition nff12 fans yes my friends i wasn't going to miss an opportunity to sell some of my fans uh to my fans uh also we went with the hugh plus which wish i hold this which way is right side up for you i guess this one there we go with an nzxt hue plus in order to throw some illumination inside and finally i guess that leads us to our graphics card so rylan actually did what any sort of excited person who gets a huge budget for building a computer does and put titan x's into the machine and i went ryland ryland ryland we can get you the same performance if not better with a couple of these for a fraction of the cost and we can spend all that other money on other really cool stuff so he ended up with like a camera notebook um like two pairs of jaybird uh wireless earphones like a bunch of a bunch of really cool stuff because we saved money without compromising on performance so let's start the way we usually do i am live streaming what can i do for you sir the camera mic is on the camera mic is not on so there's that why am i why am i being informed now and not like 15 minutes ago um oh it's while i have the overhead cam up i see hmm oh bloody hell apparently this one has its microphone on well then hmm i don't actually know how to turn that off that's an idea okay well hopefully that fixes it yes friends hopefully that fixes it indeed all right boom well let's see if that uh is fixed apparently my flies my fly is half open i shall demonstrate for you half see the bottom half is actually zipped yes friends only half only half unzipped all right so let's start this build the way that we usually do with the motherboard inside the motherboard box we will find the accessories that we need like our i o plate our sli bridge uh and three sata cables dang it it always messes with my ocd when i have to use uh when i have to use one right angle sata cable and the others are straight it's going to kill me all right i'm going to go ahead and take off the anti-static bag and i'm gonna put that back in the box and that'll be it for that motherboard box we don't need any other of the action inside there you know what's really funny is because i don't have to like painstakingly film all of this this is probably going to this video probably isn't going to be much longer than my usual build guides always were even though i don't actually get the benefit of video editing today i have to actually do the whole thing live so cpu installation always double check even i double check after all these times installing cpus make sure the golden corner aligns with the other more different golden corner triangle thing boop oh i always do that i close up the motherboard box before i remember to put on the socket cover socket cover is important keep that in your motherboard box because if you ever have to rma your motherboard they're gonna ask you to put that on before you send it back and if you don't have it they may actually reject your rma and maybe for good reason because you can oops because you can damage the uh you can damage the motherboard socket pretty easily without that cover on all right next up is ram and this will be more interesting than it usually is because i have never installed these akust iron max ram sinks before yes friends i have actually no idea how to install them so okay it involves a screwdriver dang it where's an ifixit kit when you need it oh there's one okay so uh i did say i would pay attention to twitch chat and then i proceeded to not not notice uh any of the things that they said about my audio issues oh the motherboard's not broken you guys need to all just calm your boobies down a little bit it's all good in the hood all right now one thing i'm a little uncertain about is whether this ram is actually going to work in this motherboard so that's interesting so that's just a foam doodad this is one really tricky thing about installing these aftermarket memory spreaders is getting the memory module centered because if you if you're off by too much then when they're all installed next to each other they're gonna look really really weird um okay so i'm gonna have to try and remember this i want stickers stickers up that looks about right how adhesive is this oh it's not that sticky okay [Music] yep this is how boring it is when i do this stuff unedited there's an awful lot of tedious like oh line the little thing on the other little thing and then and then screw it down nice head shot oh sorry did i just have you guys staring at the back of my head i didn't even get a haircut this weekend i actually meant to i was trying to get my wife to do it for me but she wouldn't what did i do upside down that looks fine i don't know all right so this my friends is what it's going to look like installed in the motherboard you can see out here actually i'm going to switch to the other angle so you can see even this like servery memory can actually look pretty uh pretty gamertastic if you go and throw yourself a little aftermarket heat spreader thing on there here's another another angle at that i'm going to go ahead and throw this on the motherboard there you go looks about as like gamery and performancy as pretty much anything so all right let's uh sorry i'm having trouble remembering which ones are my hot keys i'm gonna i'll i'll definitely talk to twitch chat now i'll definitely show twitch i'll talk to twitchchat now the green ruins it what green oh the green pcb you know okay the thing about the whole green pcb thing is like did you know that green pcbs are legitimately cheaper for one thing i did not know that a black pcb does add cost to the part and on servers that is a completely unnecessary cost because literally no one on earth cares that their server has a black pcb on the memory um where was i going with this i'm fairly sure this was important little known fact did you know something something green peace be you know nothing okay ram yeah it doesn't the green pcb really doesn't bother me that much on ram because once it's installed you really can't see it very well so unless you're really getting in there with like the macro lens with your slr and you're like determined to have your build be like totally perfect for a million dollar pc or something those kinds of little details don't matter as much to me as having a system that's 100 stable so ecc ram is it necessary for most applications no but does it eliminate yet another potential source of of instability yes it does what else we got here so that is why my macbook something minus i'm basically building a server ah no i wouldn't call this a server there's a lot of things that make a computer a personal computer or a server ecc memory is one of them that i would definitely consider to be on the on the server side of things um because you can you can definitely have a desktop computer that is stable enough with unbuffered dimms but in order for this to qualify as a server it would have to be a lot of other stuff as well so for one thing we wouldn't be running a consumer grade motherboard we'd be running some kind of a server board asus has stuff available super micro is very popular but yeah we'd be running a server board and server boards aren't really suitable for desktop and workstation applications for a number of reasons mostly because they trade they trade off their their no-nonsense stability for well nonsense and features and stuff so they tend not to have a lot of the features that as consumers we really want to see on our products so you know if you expect to have you know thunderbolt and uh you know a whack ton of usb ports and all that stuff you're not going to find that on a server board the other thing that a server typically has that this machine doesn't is a lot of fail safes so we're just using a single non-redundant power supply that means if the power supply fails the system shuts down and and potentially even parts of it don't work anymore i'm not saying i expect an rm1000i to fail it's a very good power supply but i'm saying that if it failed it would be very very bad on a server you would want to be using a redundant power supply where there's actually two separate completely independent power supply modules within a single unit and if one of them fails outright stops working the whole thing continues to work in fact one of our servers here actually has a triple redundant power supply i'm just going to change up the angle just for the sake of i don't know just having a bit of a different angle while i talk for a bit um the bot is unforgiving yes the bot is unforgiving for certain things where we've had a lot of problems in the past i love our bot actually it's great it makes life a lot easier for us it's fantastic um what is this build for got some people asking questions that i answered at the beginning of the stream way to not tune in immediately loser no i'm just kidding you're not a loser i know twitch is the loser because they only send notifications sort of approximately when they feel like it um this is for the winner of the ultra wide festival ultimate dream setup machine thing so um yeah this is this is his this is his rig i'm putting together the with the does this have 64 gigs of ram yeah i guess it does that is freaking sick freaking sick yo all right boom so there you have it i'll give you guys a better look at that that is what it looks like with all those uh memory sticks there installed not bad huh for ecc dimms yes friends all right what else we got here what do i do next usually right cpu cooler so hyper 212 evo uh where's my knife there it is let's see which chat we're like 64 gigs for a gaming rig yeah well remember too um it was kind of a creator-oriented uh contest so uh i'm very certain that especially with the camera that he picked up he actually had to borrow a camera in order to participate in the contest but he now with his new dream setup has his own so with the camera that he picked up i'm pretty sure he intends to do some content creation on this rig as well so in that case that uh that extra ram will actually be helpful okay i need to go get a garbage can this is driving me crazy [Music] okay there we are funny story i have actually never mounted a hyper 212 evo but i'm going to try and do it without the instructions okay so that appears to be a hold down plate of some sort that appears to be a fan of some sort that appears to be oh my goodness what is that it's okay don't worry i got this i got this you guys what the heck yeah sure okay i still remember when like heat pipe direct touch looks like a big deal i think zigmatech started that nonsense sorry i'm just i'm thinking because i'm thinking out loud because this cooler has the heat pipes directly contacting the cpu yes my friends i do i vaguely remember back when back when cpu coolers were changing really fast you know back when thermal write was releasing stuff like the xp90c and we were all like whoa man it's like a full copper heat sink man what the heck is this okay yep yep okay there's a thing that holds it in the place to something something can i help whoever's here with something what the heck that is weird okay well let's not stress about that let's put the uh wow that's really nice the way they put all the hardware and a little uh clam shell for you here i like that that is a nice touch cooler master and give credit where credit is due okay now there is less credit due here unless i'm not supposed to use that back plate at all which may actually be the case it's possible i'm just supposed to put these puppies in yep looks like that's how it's done 2011 mounting is always a bit of a always a bit of a challenge but not always uh some companies do it really well noctua does it really well uh be quiet does it particularly poorly where just some guys it's like a total afterthought it basically doesn't work at all and you're just kind of like well what the heck because our our thermal testing platform is an lga 2011 test bench and so be quiet every time they sent us a cooler back when we really did heatsink reviews they'd be like whoa why are you guys begging on us for our 2013 mount he'd be like well because it's trash it's terrible they're like yeah but most people don't use it i'm like that's nice we do so the people who re with a different platform they'll like it and we won't wait a minute dang it okay i'm resorting to the instructions because i don't know which of the correctly threaded doodads i'm supposed to put in so gets the taller one and [Music] bloody hell um yep 2011 gets the skinnier ones knew that was gonna happen again the benefits of video editing when you screw something up oh just completely get it wrong you can just undo that part and not show it except sometimes when we do anyway because we screw up sometimes even in the video editing part of things what's twitch chat one hope he sees the amount of thermal paste you're supposed to put on according to the graphic i will i promise to check that out i promise to check that out and then if it's any more than like a little bit i will completely ignore it just for you guys that was actually my favorite moment in austin's uh borinator bornator build log thing that he and i worked on together where he gives it to me the expert to put the thermal paste on and i'm just like [Music] very fun you guys should check out that uh check out that that build log thing if you haven't already austin evans channel i actually am shipping the pc out to the winner today as we speak i am doing actually colton is doing it but uh that's basically the same as me doing it all right thermal compound i promised to look at the instructions for this so where are we where we got where's that oh nice there you go guys that's how much thermal paste to put on just like that don't worry about it just go go ham go ham no big deal no friends we're gonna put on we'll put on a little bit more than usual because this is a larger cpu and it does have a lot of cpu cores in there a lot of people get really wrapped up in the in the how much thermal compound ah dang it well how much is pretty important but a lot of people get really wrapped up in the how to apply thermal compound argument when the truth of the matter is that it's within a degree or two pretty much however you put it on it's it's really not that big of a deal um so unless you're unless you're going for like sub-zero elite hacksaw overclock zors or or whatever and even if you are that degree is really very unlikely to make that big of a difference using the right type of thermal compound is actually quite a bit more important like if you are going subzero for example you want to use a thermal compound that that had that handle sub-zero temperature some of them really don't work very well at very low temperatures for example um ceramic is apparently the the go-to for those for that crowd or at least it was a long time ago i'm pretty i'm pretty out of the loop as far as the whole extreme overclocking thing goes these days all right let's get this puppy mounted now maybe you guys can tell me cooler master or cooler master these are important details i think we're going to go this way there's another thing people get really stressed out about that really just doesn't matter that much is lifting up and and reseeding the heatsink once the once the goop is already on there it really isn't that big of a deal i've actually taken just old test benches popped off the cooler worked on it put it back on really doesn't matter um i did that as just like a test for myself i didn't end up making a video about it but i did do that at one point where i took like a really old thermal compound application and [Music] like took it off and put it back on and took it off and put it back on several times and then i did a brand new fresh application to see if that would make a difference and it did not it was within the margin of error which is like realistically a couple of degrees actually okay look at that awesome now i think i was actually supposed to use the taller one but it doesn't really matter as long as i don't completely overdo it with the pressure uh this is fine i'm not gonna i'm not gonna overdo this um turkey cola hmm what's up with the video stutter i don't know i have no idea here maybe i should switch angles maybe that'll help i don't actually expect that to help i'm just being unhelpful i'm kind of glad we went lga 2011 on this uh on this system with all the things i've been hearing about skylake and cpu's bending and shipping this is a system that i intend to ship to the winner so you know what that's really not that tight actually i'm gonna go all the way then i think that's where the stopper is yeah yeah it's not too bad all right all right this is one thing i also like to check is just have a look at if you want to evaluate your mounting pressure if your board is bowing like crazy then that's that's probably not really what you were going for this one seems to be completely fine speaking of being completely fine it's really lucky that we ended up with um with a cooler that was going to work for us here given that they didn't ship the one that we had wanted because lga 2011 you know you can mount pretty much any cooler on it almost everyone has compatibility with it but many coolers out there don't work optimally with it if you want to install a whole bunch of memory sticks because you've got memory slots on both sides of the cpu so it happens that the hyper 212 this i think this is what the evo yeah hyper 212 evo is one of the ones that does work just fine if you install a bunch of ram all right so put that accessory back in the box okay so we're done with our cpu cooler i was sure i was doing something else right now right linus tech tips edition fan friends i can read you guys the little letter that's inside them if you didn't order one you won't have seen this letter yet dear fan you not the thing in the box the linus tech tips team won't make any outrageous claims about how we co-engineered this special edition nff12 pwm which is probably a good thing because as our regular viewers know we are not exactly mechanical engineers that's why we left the product development entirely to noctua knowing it would deliver the same outstanding performance quality and reliability that we've come to expect from their brown and tan fans over the last decade so what did we do something we've wanted to do since we first laid eyes on the nf s12 we picked the color scheme it's the same great nff 12 pwm fan but now in linus tech tips black and orange thanks for being a part of this i sincerely hope you love this fan as much as i love all of mine you're sincerely lioness sebastian alliance media group ceo so i'm going to have to uh do some cajiggering here in order to get this puppy mounted so you can see the the stock fan here is has got these little noise isolator tabs on it so i'm going to pop those off and i'm going to try and reuse them after there we go take out these screws oh what do you mean the fan is going to be dead telegenic boss it is not going to be dead it's going to be awesome actually i was talking to one of the one of the resellers for them and they said they got something like 2 out of 1000 back or something like that so that is uh that is to be considered a fairly good uh fairly good defective rate in fact i don't even think that um that the fan was actually dead i think it was just someone changed their mind so yeah take that fans gonna be dead yeah right i mean to be clear nothing is perfect but we just i mean we wanted to pick something that we thought we were going to have a pretty darn good chance of having work so so we went with nff12s i mean to be clear i know that you don't need an ff12 fan in order to get like really good performance out of a fan it's just you know best of the best and all that and it's not because i think that you have to spend 30 on a fan either it's just for me if i'm gonna put my name on something i want it to just i want to be sure that it's really really good i don't want i don't want that stress of people being like well i bought the linus tech tips edition one thinking it was the best and now i don't trust linus anymore because my fan died and like you know how people are like some people don't really get that any product can have a defect um shoot don't worry this is no big deal just got to pull this sticker ram out and put this on and then get back to it can i help you colton caltane his gamer handle he's really creative that colton he managed to change two whole vowels follow me on twitch yeah right i refuse to follow you on twitch all right let's have a look at this so that friends is what it's looking like now not too shabby right for like all servery stuff and all that all right okay what's next i guess i'll put uh oh well i forgot those rubber tabs so i guess those are going back in the hyper 212 box rylan if you're watching this i'm sorry i forgot your rubber tabs they're not going back on there now because i'm live streaming and people got places to go and people to see they don't want to see me put on that tab again sorry buddy your system's basically a failure it's a failure waiting to happen but at least it comes with this cool linus tech tips case badge all right what does uh twitch chat want [Music] worth it to upgrade from 3570k to 6600k casualgamer you know i don't know it really depends are you running into cpu bottlenecks in your games you'll notice because your frame rates will be lower than other people who have the same graphics card as you are reporting although something to bear in mind is that the internet is full of people who are getting 500 frames per second in every game with an 8400 gs so yeah there's there's there's three pieces there's three pieces of the calculation and a lot of people conveniently leave out a very important one there's your frames per second there's your graphics card and then there's the detail settings that you are running the game at that is very very very important so people be like yeah i got like this wicked hd 5450 it runs shadow of ward door at like 80 fps i'll be like okay a no it doesn't you're a liar and b what resolution and settings are you running yeah man i'm running 1080p man i'm like okay did you have to do like some some like eye and eye edits in order to get the details turned down low enough like i didn't know they had negative anti-aliasing uh like like just plain aliasing it's like i'm just gonna add aliasing to my game um so yeah the problem is that you can't really rely on the reports of people online although some review sites will show you what benchmarking run they use and they will give you numbers that are actually reputable and then what you can do is you can you can just see you can go like kind of oh how am i how am i performing compared to that and if it's not very good then your cpu is probably what's holding you back but the question to ask yourself too is does it matter um do you need 90 fps if you have 80 fps i can tell you right now unless you have a monitor that runs at 90 hertz the answer is probably no um okay so that isn't what was supposed to happen huh wow how did how did this happen i don't know i mean technically this will work fine it's really not what i would have preferred um let me think let me think hey um luke can i interrupt you for a minute did we ship evga back all those cards yet yeah we did yeah oh do we have an evga 980 ti with an acx 2.0 cooler so we managed to order a reference card and an acx card oh oh what you know what i might just have to put it together and send it to rylan to figure out if he can do an exchange for something like that because i have to get this i'm sure he'd rather be using the system than have me muck around with trying to get a card swapped out but that is that is that is definitely not what the objective was today to have two different cards um i can use this though as an opportunity to talk about sli compatibility and how it works like ah yeah sli compatibility and how it works basically as on the nvidia side as long as you have two of the same gpu with the same amount of ram they didn't used to require the same ram amount in theory although very few people ever got it to work with very few driver uh versions and very few like uh you know cool bits tweaks or whatever else so as long as you have the same gpu so that's like gtx 980 not a 980 and a 980 ti not a 980 and a 980 se two 980 ti's or two 980s or two 970s the same thing no matter what brand they are you've got you know your evga or gigabyte or whatever else no matter what clock speed they run at no matter what coolers they are no matter what pcb design so you can even have like a an evga kingpin card and like a you know reference card from gigabyte or something they will run an sli at the speed at the lower speed of the two so it's not a compatibility issue it's just an aesthetic issue um all right so this is the nzxt hue inside we will find a controller box i've actually never used this one before i recommended it to ryland um having heard good things about it but i've never i've never actually used now it's broken this is what he gets for letting me build this computer i got to figure out how to get the stupid led strip so the hue is has got like a front bay controller mixer thing that lets you mix your red green and blue led strips and then it's got a whole bunch of led strips inside that you can like connect together with these little connector doodadlies and then you've got the controller box that lets you plug in a couple of things to it it's got like usb control and all that kind of cool stuff so basically just a more more elegant way of handling this stuff than just you know back in the day we had to use inverters which by the way were all garbage every single one of them was trash so we had to use these inverters and then we had to use cathode tubes all of which failed uh eventually even if their inverters didn't i actually on a number of occasions had inverters so those are dc to ac electricity conversion things i had them melt inside my case and like almost start fires those were awful i'm so glad that led lighting is a thing for computers now all right so we're going to put all those parts kind of over here i guess and get to them later got our hard drives wd reds a lot of people think wd red is only for nas let me ask you this what is a computer with a bunch of hard drives in it if not a nas yes network attached storage if your computer is on the network and it has storage and you're sharing it it's a nas what are you gentlemen up to anyway oh lens things oh cool they're better why is the door closed though okay so you'd rather get cancer than be cold because that's what i'm hearing oh you turned the heater off yeah we had the heater on in here this morning and we've never actually turned it on before so it basically smelled like cancer in the studio all day like it it was some pretty yeah it was some pretty it was some pretty bad news [Applause] stuff which is weird because i'm used to turning on a heater for the first time and having it be kind of like a burning smell but uh yeah yeah but that wasn't burning that was like that was like burning your lungs okay so i'm gonna do one of those things that i always try but never works but i always try anyway because i'm like that i'm going to take everything out of the power supply box that i believe i will need down to every modular cable i intend to use and see if i can actually get it right like i said it never works i know this but i'm still going to try ah look at that only one seal to break in here boom okay so we will need a power cord we will need some cable ties we will not need silica gel modular cables we will need this four plus six pin pci express we will need this one too we will need this cpu power connector we will need oh how is the hue powered dc 5 volt okay it must have an adapter yes it does okay so we will need whatever the lowest number of connector molex adapter harness that we have is it looks like this one this one has three some power supply makers ship one with two but i guess we'll have to live with three okay we will need our 24 pin and we will need four sata cables hopefully that's good we will also need the power supply i love these little baggies the corsair packs their power supplies in i'm not convinced they're actually expensive but they feel really premium little velvet baggy doodads okay this is the foam by the way that my cat ate or like not this foam exactly obviously i'm i just got this power supply and he ate foam months ago but this type of foam this this really soft closed cell black foam that you find in corsair power supply boxes that's not actually where he got it it's just really similar to the stuff that he ate all right so there's our rm1000i here's all our accessories that we need and now it is finally enough stalling actually time to crack open the case and start building the machine i might have to just do this off camera i'm sorry guys it's kind of heavy and awkward to deal with up there oh i did that thing i always do pro tip oh never mind it worked anyway okay forget it ow static all right yeah baby there it is how many people are watching this wow 4 600 people watching the live computer building i should start like performing do like deadline a circus he is building computers [Music] i don't know if anyone would watch that although some people internally have been pitching the idea of us doing like some kind of a live show at some point like i don't know what that would look like but uh it seems like it'd be a pretty cool idea like kind of just even i don't know q a or something i don't know all right side panel off what shall we start with okay just checking had kind of a kind of a panic moment there i was like does this board support sli it does which is good because we're running sli okay what slots this one and this one so we leave one gap and do another two there we go so they'll either have to send rylan the other board to swap out or throw in a wi-fi card or something like that it's really not that big of a deal in terms of build quality i don't think the x99a and the x99 deluxe are really that different and in terms of features aside from the wi-fi i actually couldn't really find anything that mattered like i suspect there's some like weirdo features that that are there or not there but nothing really important this is cool corsair has to put this warning on their power supplies okay guys it's all right if the fan in your power supply is not spinning it is literally supposed to do that that is literally a feature it's good i love that feature why spin the fans if you don't have to there's no such thing as a silent fan except a fan that is off can i help you brandon you're looking for something are you looking for love brandon because love is right here it's right here brandon it's right here inside of you and me at the same time it's a it's a very uh it's a very liberal sort of love it's an all over the place love what cable do you need oh yeah i won't be able to help you with that it's not in my bin by the way okay usually i'm a pretty good person to turn to when you need help finding a cable yeah not as good as me didn't i own you the other day brendan and i are keeping score kind of like uh like legolas and the other guy give me in the middle earth movies that don't suck um who can find who can find things in like 30 seconds that other people can't find and then between us we're finding out who can do it most often and most consistently because i swear no one else in this entire company could find anything to save their lives it's like i can't find a multimeter like did you try that drawer where we keep the multimeters brilliant all right so the power supply is in if you're into that sort of thing um i had some people asking me to take the drive cage out i actually can't think of a reason why not we can take it out even if it's just to get it out of our way that's one of the cool features of this case boom more ventilation for the gpus just like that my friends and because we only have three drives um we can just mount everything in this lower cage and we're in pretty good shape there okay so i think especially with a little bit more open air and all that kind of stuff i think we're gonna get away with not opening up the top mod event so i think i'm just gonna go ahead and boom put the uh put the motherboard right oh i am getting spoiled i'm getting used to uh motherboard standoffs being pre-installed and this particular one is not um hold on i gotta grab my motherboard standoff screwdriver yes i do actually own a screwdriver specifically for that just tech things here check it out oh i'm on the wrong camera angle oh i'm on the wrong camera angle there we go so this is my little socketed uh socketed screwdriver just for installing motherboard standoffs they actually come with uh actually used to come with a lot of cases so i've got a handful of them but now everyone's cheaping out like fractal includes this horrendous like stupid plastic adapter thing that you can put around the stand off and then you can drive in with a phillips head screwdriver but really guys plastic oh man i think liam lee was the one that used to include these ones cooler master uses a metal one oh i got people reminding me about the i o shield i would have figured it out i would have i definitely would have figured out that the i o shield is not in there don't worry i don't remember the last time i failed to install an io shield when i had one a lot of people are probably going to bring up the i o shield that was missing in the build with my son but the only reason that was missing was because luke had that i o shield in his garage that is why i didn't install an io shield and i have since followed that up with him and it has been retrieved so next time i build a system with that motherboard which i actually intend to do fairly soon i'm going to be doing like a really cool ltd edition build so next time i do that i will be i'll be using the i o shield okay why power supply fan side up uh there's a reason for that if i was building this for myself i would probably go power supply fan down and the reason for that is that it keeps the power supply heat isolated from the rest of the system however because this is not for me the thing about fractal cases this one in particular is that they have very short feet so if this case were to be installed on a relatively plush carpet it would actually come up leaving only like a fraction of a centimeter of space between this bottom fan filter guy here and the actual intake on the bottom of the case so installing the power supply fan side up is sort of the um less optimal but safer way if you don't know how the system is going to be used look at that so that's why i did that like plush carpet well yeah carpet that's more plush plush is a word i don't mean just like shag carpet like the feet on this case really aren't very tall so really any carpet could be a potential airflow issue and i've actually killed power supplies that way just putting the system on a carpet forgetting that it was one that had the fan on the bottom of the power supply like not opening it up to check because why would i think of that and i have actually killed systems like that so yep these little lessons that you learn people are telling me the fan is upside down well okay i don't know all right let's get our motherboard installed here one thing that i really like about this case is it has this cool little nub in the middle so that your motherboard doesn't shift around while you're trying to install it why would you put a computer on carpet i don't know because you have carpet on your floor and you have a small desk it's not an atrocity it's fine remember when your computer's plugged in like the thing's grounded like it actually has a ground prong i mean in most places i actually uh had to um i had to rip the ground prong off of one of my laptop charger cables when i was over in asia because we were in some country i forget which one it was and almost none of the outlets there had a ground prong i was like okay so it's 120 volt there's the two prongs like like at home but then there's no ground prong feel like crooked cpu cooler or whatever look it's adjustable man you guys are you guys are killing me here you guys are killing me here all right wow this is actually kind of a nice looking build i'm liking this white and black and just a touch of orange color scheme thing that we've got going on here let's do some power supply cables shall we i got people asking me to mount the ssd behind the motherboard i actually could do that i don't think it's realistically going to matter much because that leaves us with only one extra expansion slot in the case and without having to add the extra cage but it's not a bad point i can probably do that i know fractal did one case i can't remember which one it was like define r3 or something like that where you actually couldn't install an ssd on the back of the motherboard tray without taking the motherboard out so i never recommended in that case installing the ssd on the back because then if you ever had to get your ssd off you would have to take the motherboard out as well but this one i don't believe that is the case so it should be fine 24 pin etx peripheral blah blah blah blah blah blah six plus two pin pcie six plus two pin pcie yeah i really don't know if we're gonna keep doing build guides in the same way that we've been doing them before anymore like this kind of stuff feels so routine for me now while i recognize that you know some of our viewers are are new to us and haven't seen this stuff before i just you know i hate i hate making content that's boring for me and so mixing it up a little bit every time is i think what keeps it fresh not just for you guys but for me and so like doing this live stream thing was kind of like oh that's a novel idea yeah sure let's do it let's do it live but we've had a lot of people request more of our traditional style build guides which i personally think are great i think they're the best pc build guides on the internet um but i just i just don't know if we're gonna really continue to do them the way that we the way that we used to um blah blah blah are the new skylake i5s overclockable motherboards you said would allow it on lan show i don't know are they um i know that i had heard although i haven't personally tested it yet i had heard that uh non-k skylake cpus are now overclockable but um yeah i haven't verified it yet i think asrock and msi are the only ones that have actually implemented the the patch at this point and i don't have a ton of assrock or msi on hand so it's hard for me to verify something like that all right let's turn this puppy around there we go i'm actually going to take off the back panel so i can start doing some cable management that is the mark of an inexperienced builder doing cable management at the end you always do cable management as you go otherwise it makes your life a lot more difficult ah these new power supplies with their newfangled i shouldn't even say new actually some companies have been doing this for a very long time their newfangled uh capacitors all over the 24 pin connector makes them quite a bit bulkier to deal with but the folks at corsair and i think i can't remember who the first one to do this was was it pc power and cooling or something i can't remember who did it first but apparently it helps with ripple suppression or something or something which i'm sure matters to some extreme overclockers somewhere in scandinavia i don't know i'm at the point now where really a high it's not like it was in the old days where like there were good power supplies and then there were power supplies where basically you plugged them in and hoped for the best like most anything from a fairly reputable brand is is fairly good these days um not really that worrying where is the eight pin connector on this motherboard oh it's kind of in the middle okay i'm gonna go through this other cable management hole here so i tend not to stress about it too much for me it's more like features um you know does it have modular cables um yeah because unless you're really pushing the limits which if you're honest with yourself you're not because unless you're using liquid nitrogen to overclock you're really not pushing the limits then it really doesn't make that much of a difference as long as you go with something that's fairly decent like i'm not telling everyone to run out and buy the cheapest power supply that they can find on newegg.com that is still probably going to explode and kill things spectacularly at some point in the future i just mean that whole thing where everyone was buying you know hx1000 you know 1000 watt top of the line power supplies um i really don't think is that important anymore okay eight pin connector done i'm sorry i'm just going to adjust the positioning of this so you guys can see a little bit better this is my favorite way to deal with these fans these days oh shoot i think i plugged into the wrong cpu fan header boop no big deal all right where is my screwdriver in my back pocket where it always is i'm just going to coil this baby up um actually that's very slow never mind i'm going to do it my less favorite way so this is one of my other tricks though you take the fan connector you run it around the outside of the fan itself and then if you can you find a fan header that it just barely reaches and then it usually won't go anywhere if it does go somewhere then you just run a twist tie or a zip tie i usually like to use twist ties if i can because they're a lot easier to take off if you screw something up but you run a twist tie through one of the mounting holes on the fan you grab onto that cable and then boom doesn't go anywhere and it looks really really clean without actually doing like our custom length fan cable or anything like that like all the kids are into these days i'm actually very i'm getting to the point where i'm getting very old school and the way i build computers another reason why i feel like i should leave the guides to the people who are really more into it these days the guys that are like yeah custom length cables for this and hard pipe cooling for that and i'm just like that sounds like a lot of work you know because i'm old all right um you know what i'm gonna finish my wire runs you know what i'm actually not going to mount the ssd behind the motherboard tray because that way i can win i can uh i can have taken out the right modular cables from the power supply box so i'm cheating a little bit but yes i'm going to do that uh yeah i am actually planning to up this upload this video to the to the channel i'm planning to not edit it and just upload the whole thing and kind of see how it goes we don't do that kind of stuff very often where we do like experimental formats on the uh on the channel so i just thought yeah what the hey let's uh let's give it a shot it's not going to be the the full release for tonight like it's going to be this and something else but yeah yeah we are we are going to do that so you guys will be able to see the whole thing if you missed any parts of it i mean not to mention that we are streaming it on twitch so there is the uh there is the vod for that speaking of streaming on twitch we've got a really really cool video coming on vessel tonight it's um i create like like a diy news reporter like mobile streaming backpack thing and we go out and test it out it's actually pretty freaking cool so you guys can check that out if you're into that sort of thing most of what we do these days is kind of like that where it may not actually have a ton of practical application but uh it's mostly just like hey here's a really cool idea we had and here goes all right three four is that a six g i don't know whatever let's do i don't know that one okay let's run these puppies through here this is one of the things i really like about this case is that the motherboard tray is actually stamped in so the motherboard sits a little bit further back than the cable management holes for your sata cables right next to it that means that when they run in there's really no no strain or tension on them it's just a nice nice little touch it does take away some of the cable management room that you would otherwise have behind the motherboard tray but i think it's a worthwhile trade-off all right let's run our pci express connectors what's up brandon oh i can't believe it's almost six i am so thirsty right now i don't think it helps that i sucked back that milkshake right before i started this oh i still have some i'm totally having more milkshake oh it's completely liquid okay no wendy's chocolate frosty that is completely melted is a really really bad idea i will regret that for sure more than i already regret it i feel fat just drinking it to be clear i don't mean i feel fat like like covered in rolls of fat i just mean i feel like if i ate junk like that all the time i would get fat very very quickly okay that's the thing you get older your metabolism just kind of runs away from you like it used to be i never had to worry about any of that stuff and i mean i'm sure i'm not the only one telling this sad story but really like it it used to be fine no matter what i did and now it's just like i eat one wrong thing and i'm like wow i just ate one pound of junk food and i just gained one pound it's amazing how that math works it shouldn't surprise me i know this but that doesn't change the fact that it does okay this 24 pin cable management is going to be a little bit tricky actually there's really not a lot of space behind the motherboard tray on this case there's really not a lot of space behind the motherboard tray on this case okay front usb 2 front usb 2 what you gonna do watch out i gotta take a poop but don't worry you don't have to watch i won't make you what do you think brandon should i quit my day job and become a rapper you'll be my producer what do you know about audio producing god i hate you brandon you crush all my dreams that's what rap taught me that's what rap taught me chase your dreams if incredibly talented people like jay-z can do it then surely i can yeah see people are finally witnessing the kind of crap that i take around here everyone hears what i dish out because i'm the like the on-camera personality most of the time but the cold hard truth is i i take at least as much as i give out around here that's weird um okay brandon the battery died can i have a new can i have a new battery please ah the uh the top one the other one's running off ac maybe if you didn't break all our ac adapters we wouldn't have this problem well it's taking longer than i said you should have known that was going to happen mr producer mr smart guy who claims to know anything about producing i would never hire someone so unproductive to be a producer wow it's funny because brandon actually had like a crazy productive day today he got with some help he got all of our our lights mounted in our ceiling lighting grid thing uh it actually looks freaking ba so i can get out of the way if you'd like sure i'll go let me go around the front i can actually cable manage this fan and then there you go yeah this video is more like a it's like closer to a behind the scenes than it is to an actual release video it's kind of cool i'm liking the vibe actually i'm liking the uh discussion with the twitch chat i can't believe there's 4 500 people watching on like an off time we've actually tried streaming not at our our scheduled time before and let me tell you guys it has not gone very well like we don't tend to get a ton of viewers when it's not our normal same bat time same channel nonsense thank you brandon you are a valuable and appreciated member of this team yes have you seen penguin madagascar no okay i can't remember what the exact quote is but it's something along those lines that's what they tell the mentally handicapped one wow i don't actually know if that's the politically correct term for private i'm usually not that up on my politically correctness power led does this case have a reset switch i think i might be missing one of my front connectors you know a lot of people use those little things that um that asus includes those little blocks that let you plug in all these front panel connectors and then plug the whole thing in one go i never recommend it the reason is that it's um it can interfere with long expansion cards sometimes you're much better off to just do it right the first time install it correctly john john here is a big fan of them but both luke and i are like no you should not use those but he doesn't listen he just uses them anyway because everyone just forgets their own path okay let's test this other camera angle again yeah we're back baby okay we're actually getting surprisingly close drives drives that's the home stretch right brandon drives are the home stretch always the home stretch let me tell you guys we have done some we have done some build logs brandon and i yes we have drives are the home stretch gpus are like you can you can smell it you can smell it it's almost over and then the conclusion is just the conclusion it gets harder again because you're just like oh this just it's just a few more bases until it's over guys we have been at the office filming to like we hours of the morning doing those build guides i'm sorry 5am for your video i didn't even know that for the a7s2 do you even want to do more camera reviews okay okay i'm down man what's your next one going to be oh ursa mini that's right what else do you have on kind of on your radar oh yeah that'll be cool okay cool yeah brandon wants to uh wants to go all like kind of scrapyard wars on like camera camera stuff so i i can't give i can't really give any more detail than that without sort of giving away what he's doing but it's going to be it's going to be pretty freaking cool if you're into camera stuff and even if you're not come on watch it it's brandon he's nice we like him for some reason [Applause] killing your china balls which is less racist than it sounds by the way it's much less racist can you show them your china balls thank you see it's on the other ankle uh no no it's it's i i that one is real time yeah that one's don't worry it's all good no seriously china balls are a thing this is not this is not sexual harassment and it is not racism jeez i can't catch a break here no i think they know that if i was if i was going to be racist i would just be upfront about it besides i really don't think too many people are going to accuse me of being racist against chinese people nope i just dislike them all individually just kidding for those of you who don't know my wife is chinese just throwing that out there i am not a racist person ah this is cool though check this out so fractal actually has a really smart hard drive sled design you can mount the rubber things more towards the front or more towards the back depending on whether you want like a nicer aesthetic or you want more cable management room behind them i always go with more cable management room because i personally don't find that that affects the aesthetic you can't really see it through the window and i also there we go and i also really find that defining various cases need all the cable management they can get oops i actually did that wrong i was so busy explaining the cool and clever thing i was doing that i did it wrong story of my freaking life like our storage server so busy showing you guys how to do it that i rush that's what happened basically i was just in a hurry it's not that i don't know the right way to do it i was just in a hurry and i've got a lot of video projects that are relying on making videos about those drives and all this stuff and so i was like okay i'm going to take a shortcut and the shortcut was bad the shortcut led down disaster junction can i help you okay please don't drop that on yourself or anyone else he's holding this ginormous ladder i swear when brandon first joined the company we couldn't we couldn't trust it oh dang it i did it wrong this time son of a um like we couldn't trust him to tie his shoes in the morning the guy was tripping all over everything like oh man it was it was terrible but he's been he's been with us so long in our messy environment because brendan's kind of a neat freak you'd never know it um like looking at his workspace here but like i've been to his house he's actually a pretty like tidy person but it's just that especially at the old office there really wasn't much that could be done to be tidy so everyone just kind of gave in to the mess the analogy that i like to use is kind of like those puzzles where there's one empty square and you have to rearrange all the other squares to make a full picture the problem is that at the old office there was no empty square there was no way to rearrange anything so so brandon had to learn like the rest of us to just catch himself when he tripped because the tripping was inevitable and now he's like a pro like it's crazy i think he's better than me from having to navigate all of the uh like all of my stuff all of luke's stuff because he had to set up cameras and lights in every area of the office so he's like the master of uh the master of not tripping anymore [Applause] but man brandon you were scary in the early days i always thought you were gonna die or destroy all my expensive stuff or do both of them at the same time the ultimate insult okay so we've got all our front panel connectors done we've got all our drives plugged in um hey why don't we plug in some video cards so oh man this is this is like this is killing me inside well hopefully rylan can get that sorted out i'm going to have to leave it to him unfortunately i mean it doesn't matter what they exchange it for as long as they as long as it's like two of the same either of these configurations is fine i don't know who screwed up i don't know if it was the retailer or if it was um like lg's procurement the thing is like the cards are called the same thing they're both called evga superclocked it's just one of them has a reference cooler and one of them has an acx cooler so i'm going to put the acx on the bottom i'm going to let the power supply deal with some of the heat from that and exhaust it i know that exhausting your gpu heat through your power supply is not really in the in the book of best practices for a wicked awesome wicked awesome computer machine build thing but uh yeah it does work um especially if you've got a really high quality power supply it's probably fine sorry i just i want to tuck these things away so that i can do my uh do my graphics card screws here there we go got people asking me to do a test boot ah yeah if i was smart i'd do that i'm going for gold today my friends i'm actually i have only about 60 confidence that this is gonna boot because i haven't uh i haven't checked this motherboard with um i haven't checked the compatibility matrix for xeons or for this ram we were going to use something else so i don't know i don't know we shall see [Music] i might just get luke to lend me a monitor very temporarily and then we'll we'll test it after see if it works if it doesn't work then basically it's pretty simple i'm just going to grab a board off our shelf here and then i'll figure out with lg how to get the right board and they can replace it for me because i do have at least something that'll work here in the studio for sure and i really want it i really want rylan to get his machine because he's been waiting very patiently for it so okay ah these six plus two connectors i do appreciate them i like them it was really annoying before everyone started putting these on video cards but man it's hard to get the two lined up sometimes especially when you're trying to bend the cable into something so i saw force force awakens which is cool don't worry brandon i'm not gonna say anything for their sake as well as for yours um oh oh oh crap i got a message from a twitch mod uh can i move you too creative uh sure thanks bro i i wasn't really sure what i was supposed to do with this so i just kind of i just did that linus thing where i'm just like ah someone else will let me know if i'm doing it wrong and sure enough they did they told me i was doing it wrong they asked if they could kind of fix what i'm doing because i'm doing it wrong i was like okay sure man that's cool all right so the last thing to set up here is the nzxt you oh i just crushed a box sorry rylan oh boy i have no idea how this works there's a lot of cables though so first is power i know we need that okay so here's a molex connector to my little just dc plug i really wonder why they don't just have a native molex plug on this thing that's really weird probably they're repurposing something else that was intended for like another industry and then they're just nzxt'ing computering it up so that would probably be why yeah yeah pretty much hey until it gets mainstream enough usb okay oh i think i found a place to stash it under this hard drive um wow it's gonna be really hard to fit it down there though get in there oh yes very nice he's nice i like it okay so i'm gonna stash the hue right under the front hard drive i'm sorry you guys can't really see what i'm doing um everyone's like luke use the force star wars star wars mania is uh is is strong with this one okay oh sick some of them some of them all of them some of these strips are magnetic oh i love it are they all magnetic this one doesn't seem very magnetic they're all magnetic sick you're magnetic i think so personal magnetism that's the only context i can think of for it i'm leaving don't forget to do the thing right the thing it's with like the butt right i said that that's with the butt yeah okay cool just making sure oh it has been a long long month but if i get the thing done before work tomorrow then um that'll be good yeah people are like loop change shirts do you guys really think we wear our linus tech tip shirts all the time like for realsies okay i do but other people aren't required to i even offered them to them for free very few people have actually taken me up on them apparently apparently they don't want to rep ltt on their own time i see how it is i know you don't have any ltt shirts brandon do you have one which one do you have oh nice yeah did you buy that oh how come you how come you have one of those oh okay nice it's funny because we have kind of a g-rated channel so like i'm never quite sure if i'm supposed to even say what it says on the front of that shirt but it's our shirt so surely we decided at some point that we could say on this show yeah cats well that's that in the context of the shirt it's very clear that it's a cat oh dang it i gotta plug in a usb header here it'd be cool if i had a third camera angle that's like um like a headlight headlamp view kind of thing okay so i'm going to show you guys actually i'm going to do the backs of these drives first so this is how i deal with my ocd i use my my right angle one on the the ssd so that at least the two hard drives are using both straight connectors and the ssd has the right angle connector or something i justify it to myself that they're not all the same like that this is something that drives me crazy about other power supplies actually this one doesn't do it i was ready to complain about this power supply and then it ended up doing it right is they mostly have the um the sata cables set up so that you would have to run them top down in order to have them all plug in easily so they're all like left angle instead of right angle whereas most power supplies are in the basement of the cases these days so having them come up this way actually makes more sense so here we're going one two three and we're good just like that then let's plug in our two sata cables for those hard drives so funny i so rarely put hard drives on the builds that we do for the show that feels kind of weird plugging these in right now although i've been doing it more lately now that we've been doing all that naz stuff with uh with unraid showing how you can actually use your gaming tower as a nas that one's coming to youtube fairly soon all right so that's done oh dang it i dropped all the stuff switch angles here uh did i switch angles yes i did okay so we got to figure out how we want to do all of our lighting effects so this baby can go up here and plug into one of these little extension you do that finish this and we're back i think okay brandon repeat after me i step where you step i touch nothing what i did well all we know was brandon was moving a ladder over near the streaming do you see anything uh-huh and then the machine shut down spectacularly shut down like zero warning completely locked up shut down so it's okay though i forgive you um oh crap how does this work yeah that's probably it okay i might actually have to check the manual for this uh for this fractal fractal or this nzxt hue do dad plus five volts something something grounding etc okay i'm gonna have to check the manual you'd think i would have been checking the manual this whole time that i was off camera but actually i was fixing the damn stream computer yeah i'm getting a lot of hashtag fire brandon so they've turned on you brandon it's official that's how into you they were they like you as long as you're talking about camera things but as soon as you break the stream they turn on you death by ladder yeah i don't even need to fire him he's probably going to die oh it actually doesn't seem to say does it okay plug a thing in there plug another thing in there yeah yeah yeah huh okay oh the edge with the black line on the led strips you'd think that would be in the like very obvious and easy to find quick guide part of it but it's not black line on the led strips look at that i had it right anyway so there's a first time for everything i got something right without having to do it a few times oh i guess i don't really need this extension here okay the sucky thing about having the stream cut out in the middle is that i will have to cut together the video now which is very unfortunate it makes it a lot more work but that's okay because brandon makes up for it with his good looks and charm well i know it wasn't my fault and i know you were moving ladders around so i think the point of the magnets isn't necessarily to work on their own so i'm going to go ahead i'm going to use the magnet but i'm going to also use the included adhesive jug so the magnets can kind of hold the adhesive in place something that is more needed than you might think if you've ever mounted an led strip you probably know for the most part they do not mount very reliably all right so let's grab another one here i really like this system with the little extensions and the little uh you know whatever else it is that we got going on huh it goes in this end i like this so now i'm gonna do one on the top going to go ahead i'm going to yeah so i'll install that right up there we are going to have any lighting effect we want oh wait a minute it occurs to me this is not a five and a quarter inch bay device i wonder if we actually ever got the strip that lg ordered or if this is just one that nzxt sent to me it doesn't really matter i don't actually care i'll just get nzxt to send another one yep that'll do okay so i'm actually really uncertain about this last run here i think we might kind of think we might kind of end up overdoing it if we're not careful so i'm just going to kind of put that in there and then i'm going to run this one kind of down here and i'm going to hope that that kind of holds together for me here there we go all right and that we end up with a nice nice even glow effect so i'm going to use one more extension and then bring that around to the oh they've got really short ones oh shoot i should have used one of those there that's okay i'll send all the extra bits to ryland i'm sure the first thing he's going to do is take the whole thing apart and put it all back together anyway how many people managed to stay oh 2600 of you you guys you guys are the ones who believe in me who believe in me for some reason i've never given you a reason to believe that i can bring the stream back online successfully but you believe anyway i admire that see them i admire brandon it's okay i know you didn't mean to ruin the evening sorry okay there we go all the led strips are in cool i'm liking this rig so far actually all right what's left what is left is that it oh sli bridge never want to forget the sli bridge that's always uh that's always annoying you go and you boot up the machine for the first time you're like i'm sure something's missing i've got people telling me to put the leds on the case door yes that is actually a way to do it but i'm going to do it like this all right i sure wish asus included black sli bridges those just look awful this like orange sli bridge i don't know what the deal is with that okay not too shabby actually a zip tie here a zip tie there and this is uh this is some primo grade stuff right here oh there you go guys looks a little something like that and i think that pretty much concludes our first ever live build log it wasn't really much of a guide or anything like that but let me know and if you're watching this on youtube which it will be uploaded to later let me know in the comments do you like this format for builds do you want to see us do you know completely different things that are not like this leave your suggestions we're always open to them but we're not always open to them but we always ask for them and then sometimes we ask for them just so we can ignore them that's not what we do all right see you guys later it's always awkward doing outros on live broadcast stuff because like yeah and we're done oh crap i
