how's it going guys Kyle here with awesomesauce news today I'll be doing a bit of a DIY project on my personal build I'm gonna explain to you that just a bit but first off I just want to address the microphone that I'm holding here my lavalier mic isn't really working very properly so I'm forced to use the built-in mic on this thing so excuse me if I look a bit awkward holding this in my hand but the built-in mic on this thing is actually pretty good so hopefully the audio is treating you very well on your end so first off for those of you who might not be aware or if you guys just need a reminder this is a 600 T case it's got a 2600 K overclocked at 40 400 megahertz 16 gigs of RAM Asus GTX 670 as well as a PhD 68 v pro motherboard a bunch of other stuff a lot of SSDs vertex force and things of that nature so it's it's a bit dated it's three years old it's actually the first system that I built so I'm very proud of it and it's definitely um sentimental to me in some ways because it's my first rig but it still performs just fine I edit on it nearly every week and there's no lag there's no slowing down the rendering times are still pretty decent so it's not quite time to do away with it yet or sell it for parts or something like that but I do want to make some changes to it some slight upgrades and modifications my phone's ringing hold on one second so the first thing I'm going to be doing to this system is I'm going to be reinstalling the drive cages that I had initially taken out and the reason for that is I want to move the SSDs in the mechanical hard drive that's in there currently in these five and a quarter inch bays into these drive cages and the reason why I want to do that is because I want to have room in my five and a quarter inch base for this fan controller the reason why I'm installing a fan controller is because the fan controller on the 600 t blew out a couple months ago I was playing a game and all of a sudden my rig was way too quiet I'm like ah my rigs really quiet in fact it's too quiet and sure enough the fans none of the fans were spinning and the system actually shut off like five seconds later so I checked it out and yep sure enough the fan controller is completely blown out so I'm going to be installing this this lambtron FC v v2 controller I actually did a video on this as well if you want to check that out so the other thing I'm gonna be doing is gonna be taking this water 2.0 this thermaltake water 2.0 liquid cooler and I'm gonna be swapping that out with the H 100 that's currently in there this is the original H 100 and it still performs quite well I think the LED the LED on the water block actually went out as well so there's no lightning from there but it's not really a performance issue at all but I just have this thermal take cooler lying around collecting dust in my room so I figured I would put it to good use and I say the last thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna reinstall these extension cables these are BitFenix alchemy cables in white and I originally had them in my rig but have since then taken them out because I was doing more testing in here and I needed a variety of cables to plug in multiple graphics cards and things of that sort so I'm gonna be reinstalling those just for a nice clean aesthetic look oh and I will be installing the white LED that I picked up in in Taiwan recently if you want to check out my vlog video if you haven't already I'm gonna be installing an LED and hopefully everything will just run a lot smoother and this thing will be a bit cleaner as well speaking of cleaning I am going to dust this thing off right now before I actually get building or rebuilding in this system because it's it's it's quite dusty and I'm not really comfortable to admit when the last time I cleaned it was so on that note let's let's get started I'm gonna go clean this thing and then we're gonna do a time-lapse it's gonna be awesome go all right guys it is finally completes that whole process took me roughly four and a half hours so it's a bit more involved than just building a computer from the ground up because I had to relocate all the drives which meant unplugging everything I just unplugged everything because the cable management on this thing was just god-awful so I even forgot to mention that at the beginning of the video that one of the major changes of this little updates was gonna be the cable management and I'm much happier with how everything turned out these are all the old parts as you can probably tell I've got a lot of dusts at once again I'm pretty ashamed of myself that I let it go this long without ever cleaning it so I have the H 100 here this is a the drive cage adapter that allowed me to install those SSDs and that mechanical hard drive and the five and a quarter inch base it's a Xigmatek five and a quarter inch to three and a half inch converter and then from there I used these three and a half inch to two and a half inch adapters for those SSDs so there was a lot of adaptation going on in this case these are the Cougar vortex fans that I was I was using with the H 100 because the stock fans that came with it were a little bit noisy so I swapped those out as well for the Thermaltake 2.0 fans and I'm really happy with how the led I'm sorry the fan controller looks in this case at first I wasn't really sure because the front of the 600 t is all mesh and the FC v is very sleek looking so I thought those two looks would clash but actually I really like how it looks you guys can let me know what you think personally and I I currently have all the fans hooked up to it so I have full control over the cooling of my system and one really cool thing is that I actually hooked up the led to the fan controller so I can turn the led completely off so if I want to leave the system running when I'm asleep but I don't want the light to to bother me then I can just completely turn it off or I can just dim it a little bit so I'm really excited that that worked out as well the way I went about connecting the led to the fan controller was I completely snipped off the end of the power adapter that came with the LED so now that gives me these two leads that I can then route to the to the fan controller and I did that via a molex to three pin adapter which I just picked up for a couple bucks on frozen CPU basically I just took the two leads wired them to the molex taped it up and then from there I just plugged in the other end that 3-pin connection to the fan controller and presto so all around really solid build really solved an upgrade I should say let me know what you guys think in the comments below of this this little renovation and if you just simply like this video I am planning a another build kind of like a main rig this is probably gonna be my secondary rig I do have a 49 30 K just lying around and I've got an X 79 board as well that I'm planning on doing a build on soon the reason why I'm waiting on it is because I'm waiting for another case to come out that hasn't released yet it's a the 780 T from Corsair you guys may have seen it from our Computex coverage or from anybody else's Computex coverage for that matter it's a really cool looking case I'm a huge fan of Corsair cases so hopefully I can get a sample of that and do a personal build with that X 79 platform so look forward to that thank you guys so much for watching this video subscribe to the channel if you haven't already don't forget to toss me you like and I'll see you guys in the next video
