you asked they delivered the k7 xxxx from a kg and mass drop is back with memory foam ear pads a detachable cable and premium sound for all-around listening click the link in the description below before the drop ends what's crackin people welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well today wifey sauce and I are doing something a little bit different for you guys switching it up as we often do we figured since Halloween's just around the corner and we're still in the month of October at least the time of filming this video that we would do something a little fun and try assembling a full-blown system a full-blown PC inside of a friggin pumpkin I'm sure this has been done plenty of times before on the internet I did zero research beforehand and and besides you can't escape pumpkins pumpkins are everywhere and they're in everything this time of year I mean we can't drive personally we can't drive a mile from our house without seeing a damn pumpkin patch on the side of the road and none of those pumpkins have fully functioning pcs inside of them and we saw that as a real problem so we're aiming to fix all that today with our little project here now there are a couple things to consider when building inside of a pumpkin as I'm sure it's much different than working with a traditional chassis in the fact that it's just not designed for PC builds at all so the first of which is size and space how can we possibly fit all this hardware inside of one pumpkin pretty easy just by a big enough pumpkin it's pretty simple and then cut a big enough opening to easily slide all the hardware into it we feel like we got a pretty good sized pumpkin that's not too big because you know you don't want to go too large otherwise the pumpkins all cumbersome and heavy and hard to move around and stuff like that we feel like we did a pretty good job sizing out our pumpkin we had to dig around for one but I think we got a good one it remains to be seen whether or not we'll have to mount the the power supply here outside of the pumpkin sort of as an external power brick we're not sure yet we'll cross that bridge when we get to it but size and storage or size and space is one thing is the first thing we considered and I think we've got that nailed down the second thing we got to consider is cable management as most pumpkins I know of do not feature any sort of cable management you know aids whatsoever so in that sense we actually really had to try to use as few cables as possible in this build but still have a functioning system and I'm gonna explain as I go over all the parts how I think we managed to do that and finally how do we prevent any moisture or wetness from the pumpkin itself from damaging any of our components well first off we're gonna line the inside of the pumpkin with some plastic wrap we might double wrap it just in case additionally we have this metal plate which is actually designed for mini ITX motherboards it is actually a one of the accessories from the enthu elite case here from fantex as it is a dual system chassis it's already got some pre-installed standoffs from any ITX we're just gonna mount it onto the or mount the board on to it first so it can act as a buffer between the main board and the pumpkin itself so with that all in mind folks let's go over the hardware I'm gonna nail this down really quick because we've got a lot to do starting with our processor we've got a core i3 70 350 K from Intel this is a quad core unlocked core i3 processor as part of their KD Lake family on the LGA 1151 socket yes it's last generation it's already old news because of coffee lake but it's it's what I had lying around in fact I should mention that this is not a sponsored video all these parts that were using today were just picked off of my shelf and we're selected because I felt they would be good for this particular project so we've got this CPU here yes this will be in overclockable pumpkin very exciting stuff I've never thought I'd say those words in one sentence and then additionally we've got a motherboard to pair with that to see z170 I Gaming Pro AC from MSI this is a fairly high-end motherboard all things considered for Mini ITX on the z170 chipset of course and we do have two DIMM slots a single PCIe gen3 by 16 slot m2 is very important to have in the back as that is the only drive we'll be using with this build of course and a data SP 900 256 gig capacity super overkill in fact most of the stuff is overkill for a pumpkin PC I guess depending on what you want to do with the pumpkin anyway I'm getting off topic here it's just a regular SATA Drive nothing fancy no nvme but it's gonna be just fine to a boot off of and install some applications definitely some RGB software as well as we'll get around to we've got a 16 gigabyte kit of this Myshkin black line Frostbite ram ddr4 at 2400 speed additionally we've got our cooler our CPU cooler is going to be the cryo rig c7 this is a very low profile but well-performing cooler for its size it's fairly quiet as well this is going to a fantastic cooler I think for this bill there's only a single single three pin I'm sorry four pin PWM cable coming off of it going to reduce some of the cable clutter for our graphics card I went with the geforce gtx 1050 TI from EVGA i specifically chose this card because its first off low powered we don't need a massive power supply to drive it additionally it doesn't have any PCIe plugs on it gets all of its power straight from the PCIe slot the 75 watt slot from the motherboard is gonna be enough to juice this guy just fine and additionally it's not a bad card 1050 Ti is pretty solid for 1080p gaming so this will be not just an overclockable pumpkin but a gaming pumpkin as well now for our power supply I went with the SF 450 watt unit from Coursera this is an sfx unit it's about as small as they come for a system like this it's fully modular as well which is going to help reduce cable clutter even further so happy to be using that again we'll see if we can actually fit this inside of the pumpkin or if we're gonna have to resort to mounting it externally either way it should be functional and then finally we've got some RGB lighting up in here I was gonna use like an NZXT hue plus and I figured that would be just way too complicated for a build like this so we're just using this I have the bucks over here it's the USB mood light for your TV actually design for your TV I picked this up off of Amazon I'll drop some links in the description or something like that so you guys can check it out but it comes with a remote so you can change different different modes it's fully RGB and it's a USB I think is the most important to peel for me is that you can just plug this in directly to the back of the motherboard and that's pretty much all the power you need you don't need to deal with another molex or SATA cable that you need to hook up to the power supply for they're making things just a royal mess and things like that so very happy with the parts that we have here I'm feeling very confident of course we have not even started building yet so I should not speak too soon now while I've been sitting here rambling off to you guys wifey sauce has actually been in the office kitchen this whole time getting a head start on carving that pumpkin and she's much more artistic than I am anyway so it's probably best we leave that job to her but why don't we go ahead and cut away to a little time left see what she's been up to and we can circle back with our components here and start assembling our gaming pumpkin PC all right let's see that beautiful mug let's see oh yes that is that's glamorous well done wifey looks just like me yep and so let's see the lid so the lid comes off like that we had to make it extra large so that we could potentially fit the motherboard and plate inside go ahead and see if it fits yeah I was afraid of that happening cuz it's a it's a it's a bowl shape that we're fitting it into so it's not gonna go down as deep as the the center cut the edges okay a shot I'm a little concerned because it's already barely fitting and we don't even have the power supply or graphics card in there I was thinking that too you know I told the viewers that I was sure we got a big enough pumpkin for this task but I might be eating my words right now all right moment of truth this will determine whether or not we need a new pumpkin oh oh kind of it kind of works though then we still needed to get like the graphics card in there now hold on hold on all right so now we have the graphics card mounted onto the motherboard and we've kind of wrapped the whole thing in our plastic wrap here just to prevent any sort of moisture getting into the components because we have not yet wrapped the inside of our pumpkin so we're just going to see if this fits right now is that a good up or a bad up I can't tell from here oh snap we're so close though freaking pumpkin modding really at all yes we just go get a big pumpkin alright let's go get a big pumpkin alright guys so wifey sauce has just come back and she brought a huge pumpkin with her it's quite a bit bigger than our original one although I did make some headway here I'm kind of disappointed that we're not gonna be able to see this one through because I feel like this would have worked all we would need to do is cut out a little rectangular area of the lid just to allow the IOB to be visible from the graphics card and it would have been fine however now that we have this big guy I'm thinking we might even be able to get the power supply in here as well so we're actually gonna switch gears here and abandon this pumpkin tentatively for this one because I think we can just do more here we won't feel as cramped we'll have more room for activities and LEDs and things like that so let's go ahead and pretty much do all the same craft we just did with that pumpkin - this new one alright guys so I have managed to fit our motherboard CPU CPU cooler GPU and PSU inside of our pumpkin here and it fits snuggly mind you but it's in so kudos to me and wifey sauce we did a great job but we're not done yet we still have to adhere the LED strip to the pumpkin somehow and while 3m adhesive is really good stuff I just don't think it's gonna work in this situation so what we can do is we can get creative with some paper clips and some some of these push pins here to try to just try to pin this down to the pumpkin I'm thinking we can probably run this strip maybe from starting from the side going all the way up to the edge here on the the upper rim and back down we really don't need too much length maybe a good six to eight inches that's what you said and then we should be good and then we'll attempt to boot this guy I've not done any trouble or any test booting which is probably a bad idea but but yeah I have utmost confidence that this will all work fine and won't blow up in our faces alright folks the time has come the system is complete and the only thing we really have left to do is to try turning it on and pray to God that it boots so without further ado ladies and gentlemen oh wait how are we gonna power this thing we need a screwdriver yv screwdriver quick I forgot that pumpkins don't have power buttons thank you very much okay um let me go ahead and flip the power supply on I gotta find the front panel connectors here oh I think I see it oh I need a smaller one a smaller screwdriver to get in there no I got one I got one all right we've got a small screwdriver and I've also got this Robo grip wrench thing that I'm gonna use as an extension just so I can get in there and it's also got yeah the rubber grips will hopefully prevent any sort of shock to my face we have a fan spinning on the CPU cooler and the GPU power supply fan is not spinning but I would imagine that's due to just a low low load operation silent operation under low loads the TV might have turned off automatically we do have the video card running out to the TV or the monitor here LEDs aren't turning on either ah we got LEDs ah what's happening here no signal what do you mean no signal don't tell me no signal we are not getting a signal ladies and gentlemen alright guys so I may have to swap this card out for a different gtx 1050 Ti I'll be right back alright I got a video card I got the msi gtx 1050 TI alright pretty much the same thing as the EVGA same sort of size and power requirements which is just straight through the motherboard so that's good so out with the EVGA card in with the msi no signal the new video card does not work either which means it's probably an issue with the motherboard so I'm gonna try a different motherboard because I think that's the root of the problem I have used this board once in the past and I was it was for a live Stratos drunk and I've probably messed something up with the board I'm pretty confident everything else is working but let this be a lesson to all of you as to why you should always do an external test boot before actually assembling your system even if that system happens to be in a pumpkin so don't go anywhere we're not done yet I'm gonna get this thing to freakin post by the end of this video so yeah bear with me on to the next thing here we go alright guys so we have swapped out the motherboard we went from and we actually got a pretty nice upgrade one from Z 172 z 370 we're now using the ROG Strix Z 370 gaming or z3 70 i gaining motherboard from asus and the processor now has also received a pretty nice upgrade to a core i5 8600 k which is all the more reason for us to fear this project blowing up in our faces literally but we're ready for an external test boot before we do any pumpkin mounting so yeah the power supplies on the things are connected to the things and I'm gonna short it right now nope things are happening switching to DisplayPort oh my alright let's mount this sucker in the pumpkin we had a bad motherboard we had a bad motherboard wifey's loss as soon as this video is over I want you to personally take a flamethrower to this thing okay this is not a massage ball by the way I broke this cuz I'm done a year ago and I apparently forgot that I broke it so well folks we are now ready to mount this guy into the pumpkin that we created what feels like so long ago let's uh let's do that now before this thing stops working cuz holy crap alright guys here we are once again it seems all too familiar we are ready to boot up the pumpkin PC hopefully one last final time because hopefully it'll work I don't want to have to do this ever again this has been terrible look at that look at that we already have windows installed on the friggin SSD amazing that's not the right time at all but I'm gonna give it a pass all things considered why if you sauce will you do the honors of capping off the finished build with its lid porfavor so wait you know a little hole in the back for cables and stuff yay thank you very much for your help honey looks fantabulous I'm not used to seeing wires coming out of a pumpkin with like full-blown RGB LEDs out the front I say we run some friggin benchmarks about that wifey sauce is giving me to look like we are not making this video any longer than it needs to be alright fine how about in the interest of time and to keep my head on my shoulders we just run one benchmark we do some load testing just for thermals we'll do a quick run of GTA 5 and we'll take a look at the CPU GPU thermals after one run sound good sounds great getting a lot of support on my end so yeah let's let's do that why don't why don't uh why don't you guys while we run the benchmarks while I run the benchmarks why don't you guys enjoy the beauty and majesty that is the RGB pumpkin PC all right boys and girls I never thought I'd say this but the pumpkin is finally under load yes it's running Unigine heaven 4.0 in the background as we speak rest assured I'm not cheating the pumpkin is doing all of this right now there's about five or six cables coming out the back and I also did make a mistake from earlier it's not a core i5 eighty-six hundred K that I have in here I was under the impression that I was cool enough for Intel to send me one for the coffee like lunch but no they actually sent me a core i5 8400 so small edit there that being said we're still getting some pretty decent thermals all things considered on the CPU we're hitting 71 yep still at 71 degrees Celsius max on the package with that cryo rig c7 cooler and our GTX 10:50 TI which is now the MSI card we've swapped it out for the EVGA one that is not overclocked everything here is running stock that is hitting 76 degrees Celsius max so overall I mean I've seen worse thermals on real actual cases so chassis manufacturers if you're watching this there's no excuse for your case to deliver worse thermals than this pumpkin right here there's just no excuse and also it's fairly quiet I mean you can't it's so thick that you can't hear anything from the backside you can only hear the noise emissions coming from its face more or less and it's just a very faint were very comfortable overall very impressive little gaming PC pumpkin thing whatever you want to call it that's all for now folks thank you so much for watching I hope you guys enjoyed watching it if he did toss me a look on the video and be sure to let me know what you think about it in the comments below feel free to get subscribed as well to the channel for more tech stuff coming at you really soon and I will see all you guys in the next video
