The UGLIEST Gaming PC #Helpful Post

ay so this is cool our buds over it

cable mod you know these guys that make

fancy cables they just launched builds

dot GG which they're gonna kill me for

putting it this way but it's basically

Pinterest for gaming rigs so if he so

you build a gaming rig you submit it and

then people can get inspiration they can

see what parts you use they can see what

like mods you applied to it or whatever

the case may be and you can also go

there if you want to find like the

coolest rad stuff for your build anyway

to celebrate the announcement they are

sponsoring this video where Alex and I

are going to be building our submission

to build CG and they're launching a

contest which obviously we're going to

be winning where they're giving away

10,000 US dollars in prizes for the

sickest builds so check that out but not

before you check this build out

oh let's have we told them what we're

doing yet we're building an awesome

system for for build Statue G okay all

right so you have this course there C X

600 yeah be a bit careful because these

are just wires why are these just bare

it says in the thing scrapyard Wars is

the reason so water cooling next is

cooling right yeah so I have this Swift

tech radiator

I really like the bit where is it

yeah the marine epoxy that's in here

from the time that you drilled into it

fun bit of trivia for our viewers

radiators used to be designed with the

water tubes directly under the screw

holes so it was a fairly easy mistake to

make if you accidentally over tighten

something a little I've heard the washer

aesthetic is like really in because the

more washers you have the cleaner your

build okay so what tubing do you think

we should use I was thinking we need

quick connects anyway so the white could

just run to the quick connects and then

we could change it to blue and red you

know what though there's a compelling

practical reason for putting in some

clear tubing that way we can make sure

the water is in there

Oh true yeah and we need to make sure

that it doesn't kink and write my own

coils yeah those are really important so

basically the way it works is you just

kind of put it on there kind of like

that and then it's like instant

performance increase for your tubing

kink free oh this right here goes on the

front

our build we're gonna have to go in from

behind hmm actually I think that you can

just take this whole radiator bit out

yeah and just move it right to here then

does that fit cuz if we could get even

more cooling that would be great we

could just double-sided tape it oh yeah

that could totally work so for this

build we're going to be using the ROG

Maximus X formula it's a set 370 board

and it's actually freaking sweet so

really don't make a mess so we've got

water cooling for the vrm that's built

right into the motherboard it's awesome

but my only concern is that these VRMs

put out a lot of heat yeah so we

probably shouldn't combine the CPU and

the VRMs on the same radiator so I'm

thinking is there's this cooler master

Gemini or gemin 2's 424 yeah which I

think could look really good in this

case how does this go on oh yeah it goes

over the RAM so that you get the

additional benefits of cooling the round

that's something you won't get with

normal water cooling so we're going to

go with the Trident C Royals they're

definitely the blingiest Ram on the

market at the moment it's like look at

that look can you just see me so the

most important thing before you put on

your CPU cooler is to make sure that you

get the correct amount of thermal paste

oh that's gonna make a mess don't do

that don't do that it's gonna take like

10-15 minutes to clean that up oh my god

it's a dick up into the left just a

touch

so we're gonna have to sew tack mini

1080 that uh it got a bit chopped up so

yeah yeah in the case yeah I remember

that

um did we shave down the top of it -

yeah it looks like that we did this is

gonna look great

oh yeah straight from unloved 0 to epic

hero by not cutting off the end of this

zip tie I can actually keep it for use

later on down the line because all you

need to do is stick a little pin or

something in there and you can bend that

little plastic tab down and then you can

actually extract this and completely

reuse it for any length of project so

I'm just gonna fold this up under the

card kind of like that and what's really

cool is that we actually get some

additional cooling for the rest of the

system out of this configuration so

we're gonna put the GPU in the vertical

mount right here and that gives us some

direct cooling for our chipset which is

located right here on the motherboard so

I guess one thing that we haven't

thought of yet

is where is our pumping reservoir going

to go no you know what it actually looks

like

look there are over Ang's in here that's

o-rings not threading Oh straight piped

in - in fact I love it so since that's

just the reservoir we also have a pump

yeah so I was thinking that this one

right here from active aqua which

conveniently has its own power supply we

could just put it in here it has suction

cups on the bottom - uh that's great and

then we could just have it have its own

power cord no that goes oh I hear can

you help me cable manage this first

though I'm sure see that that actually

goes right back to if we just put a

screw in there it's not the right one

but uh it should work yeah I'm always

gonna notice we do not have the correct

size fittings at all oh really yeah

we could just not do that yeah I think

we're gonna have to not do the pump so I

found another pump rez combo oh great

I'm just not sure where to put it it's

like kind of too long to go up in here

like the last one yeah I like it fits

but it's not gonna be great

it could go sort of right there but it

might be kind of messy yeah I don't

really like that look mm-hmm I'm just

really disappointed that we're not gonna

get to use this rez anymore can we use

this one too and just put it up into the

top sure cool yeah tell me - Reza's is

fine well and it makes a lot of sense

because you want to have the water nice

and high yeah so then we can just loop

it here up there yeah I found that when

I was strapping on my second fan here

which I really want for optimal cooling

that I was accidentally covering my PCI

Express power connector here but get

this I can actually repurpose my fan

strap here as like cable management to

hold it in that is using the old noggin

now our power supply isn't modular so we

can't actually replace the 24 pin cable

but we can get what I think is really

basically the cable not experienced with

one of these extensions so we're just

gonna run this down keeping the cable

nice and taut as we go and then we're

gonna run it back up and you can see

that with the really vibrant green and

black color scheme our extension cable

the regular one just kind of fades into

the background and you barely see it at

all okay so I found some fan splitters

and fan extensions so that's how we're

gonna get power to our front fans over

here and then I also found this single

SATA 2 quad SATA power at at home nice

yeah so that way with just this one SATA

power plug we can power up to four SATA

devices high amperage check this out

there's even a high amperage header on

this motherboard it's like it was

designed for me to plug three fans into

it now what I noticed

is that those leads that I taped up

mm-hmm what we could do is we could

splice on a molex connector

oh yes that to power the pump or do you

think that we can just run this over to

that and just sort it right on I mean I

still want them to be detachable though

so I'm not gonna solder them I'm just

gonna use this them together and use

electrical tape oh okay okay this is

like the perfect situation where you

want to use these antique ink what do

you even call them just antique anchors

yeah tube coils

tube coils okay yep and as you can see

I've gotten a bit artistic with it and

kind of made a little a pattern here

then we're able to just come in here

like this would be horrible if we did

not have these on but now we do not have

to worry at all about potential pink

äj-- and those VRMs just hitting 5,000

degrees i mean that should be fine yeah

so you go in there with that and then we

bring another tube out of there into the

vrm cooler and then we're good

we've completed the loop just make sure

you leave enough slack in the lines that

actually has a double benefit so one

allows us to pull that out and fill it

and then put it back in and two that

means we can repurpose the soft tubing

for a future build if we have a run

that's slightly longer oh yes so I

really want to use white to go down to

the VRMs but we only have this little

scrap of tubing fortunately check this

out this quick can act from colder not

only matches our red white and blue

color scheme it can act as a coupler so

then we can actually take check this out

this piece of red tubing then and extend

it that is perfect

three two oh one oh dang so one of our

Corsair fans isn't connected but that's

not does work I think you might just

have to power cycle real quick here I

thought I saw hey nice ok so now we just

need to I think we need to plug it up

plug it into a monitor and stuff get

these fan headers turned on and on yeah

we've got all of these cables for the

light strips which looks not all that

great you can't have

those cables there so I'm going to use

this cable mode AIO sleeping to just get

it all nice and tucked away so we don't

have to worry too much about it oh I can

smell it we are so close

so at the back we've got a matching

power an HDMI cable and then we've got

other colors I mean yeah she walked out

she really getting pretty I came from

the bottom

I came from the bottom Mobile Alabama

all my killers and go and chill with

your girl I see coach Lee I'm neht dool

neht dool

we've got quite the puddle here I might

need to swap it out every like hour or

two of use but that's fine think of it

like oil changes for your car okay but

instead of oil changes just filling out

the oil leaks out the bottom which I

mean that's a big example to deal with

with their cars oh yes we've got a full

bench drive ready to rock here I want

let's see this thing Hall there's

artifacting our GP is dead tickets

speaking of dead this mean so thanks for
