He didn't see this coming a MILE AWAY #pimpmyrig #pmr #episode6

2019-05-10
are you ready to see your new system yeah here it is man I hope you like it Oh welcome back to pimp my Reg everybody this is episode six today we're taking a look at a build from a man know a boy named Sebastian Sebastian is a student in high school he didn't tell me that he went to high school but I'm assuming that he is in high school because he looks like he is sorry if that's wrong Sebastian but he needs a lot of help here this this is a system in dire need of some assistance because it it's just look at it let's first talk about some of the specs here because at its core this is a fairly well put-together system and spec wise we've got a 9600 k so a core i5 from intel that's a six core cpu however there's there some complications here we actually have a B 360 motherboard from MSI I believe so we can't actually overclock our 9600 K which is a damn shame plus we have this hyper 212 cooler from Coolermaster which is not a bad cooler for all intents and purposes it is a really good budget option but even if we did have say a z3 90 board that allowed us to overclock we wouldn't get very far with a entry-level cooler such as this one we have a 16 gig kit of Corsair Vengeance LTX ddr4 and I believe 3200 speed let me try to look in there ah man tried to kill me you guys see that 3000 megahertz its Intel we're fine we also have a very nice gigabytes a dual fan GTX 1070 TI which is also a very capable piece of hardware and it pairs nicely with the 9600 K even if you're not overclocking it the fans are just spinning right now at idle and they're actually kind of loud I'd hate to hear what it sounds like under load plus the whole system in general I put my microphone my love in here I want to get clipped by a fan it's freaking me out it's a little bit noisy in there and we're not even doing anything so that needs to change at the very least the power supply isn't bad you know it's a corsair CX 750 watt so enough wattage to drive the system but it's a little bit on the budget side and it being completely non modular is also an indication that maybe it's time to step that up as well the storage options are he has a 480 gig SSD I forget the model number it might be a patriot drive and the WD blue mechanical hard drive no problems there but I saved the best for last ladies and gents the case which is from say go yep yeah it's some Chinese brand I've never heard it before and it looks like a cheap Chinese case the side panel and front panel or acrylic so they're all scratched up and scuffed and stuff we also got some ventilation on the sides here those holes aren't super big or anything and these fans are again kind of noisy they are moving some air though so I guess that's good I wonder how much they're actually pulling in through these slim ventilation slots on the sides you get a somewhat decent power supply shroud with a couple fan mounting points at the top but you don't have any rubber grommets for routing cables so it doesn't look as nice as it could they're just you know basic cutouts and we've also got this foot this foot that looks like he was super glued on to the cake what happened there Sebastian what is this an arts and crafts project some other things to point out is that you have to be absolutely blind to not notice the cable management is a chore and the rear fan is backwards it's mounted as an intake what's happening here so clearly you can see I've got my hands full for today but I'm gonna do my best to revamp the system as best as possible and hopefully give Sebastian the glorious PC gaming experience he deserves although you know I hardly know the kid he could be a serial killer with that gruesome question in mind it's also worth pointing out that coolermaster has agreed to sponsor today's video and they'll be helping me help Sebastian acquire some seriously awesome hardware pun intended and they've also informed me that they have actual PC components being sold now at select Best Buy's across the United States so I thought it'd be kind of cool for this first round of upgrades we actually went to our local Best Buy to see what they've got in store quite literally and bring back whatever we find attractive alright so we're here at a Best Buy somewhere in downtown Los Angeles and I'm ready to do some shopping I've got my cart ready quite a nice selection here from Coolermaster you can get their peripherals in like over 700 different locations across the US and 52 stores are currently selling their components if you're trying to build your own PC so we're gonna see what works here for a Sebastian's build in particular starting with power supply needs a new power supply so we have these two options from coolermaster from their MWe Gold Series 650 watt and 750 now Sebastian already has cx-7 50 watt unit from corsair first starters it's 80 plus bronze which isn't terrible but if we're planning to put in a higher-end GPU having that extra efficiency rating isn't a bad thing necessarily and also it's not modular at all so I think we're actually gonna swap in one of these this is 80 plus gold certified so we get a lot higher efficiency and being fully modular just allows for a lot more room in the system when all is said and done 9999 you think getting sebastian is worth $100 power supply I think we also have a couple different coolers from Coolermaster including their master liquid ml 120 l RGB and a hyper 212 RGB Black Edition they also have the non RGB version at select Best Buy's although they're completely sold out at this one because they're just just flying off the shelves now being a 9600 K system we want a little bit more room for our cooling potential especially if we plan to overclock with a Z 390 motherboard that will be dropping in writer so let me see if we can find a higher end cooler on the Best Buy website a Oh and the first thing that pops up is a fridge so it looks like Coolermaster does have their master liquid ml 240 our RGB and a 360 model I think we're gonna have to go with one of those I'm not gonna buy it just yet but this is looking good so far now I don't know exactly what case we're gonna go with yet so we're gonna want to cram a couple RGB fans in there just to add some additional bling and most importantly some healthy airflow to keep the rest of the components cool so these are the master fan MF 120 ra RGB let's take a little ganda over here cuz I thought I saw some per EPS now obviously these are gonna be outside of the computer but I think Sebastian could use an upgrade I mean I'm not exactly sure what keyboard he has now but can't be better than this this is the SK 650 genuine Cherry MX red switches low-profile switches as well very tactile the MM 830 optical sensor 24,000 dpi hidden d-pad OLED display I've actually got to put my hands on one of these before and it's extremely comfortable I love the shape I don't see any Coolermaster headsets on the shelves they do have an MH 7 50 to 7.5% a so we're pretty much good to go let's head back home and get this all put together all right well that was kind of fun got to do a little IRL window-shopping and I got to see the one thing that few gamers ever make contact with the Sun but yeah most of the things you see here are items that we picked up at Best Buy or their site you can see I actually picked up a master liquid ML 240 our RGB from Coolermaster which will do a fine job of cooling our 9600 K it's a bit overkill unless you can actually overclock it which with this new motherboard we certainly can we have a Z 390 orest Pro y5 board from gigabyte this not only has more connectivity and features than Sebastian's existing B 360 board but it also allows us to have our way with that 9600 K and it's multiplier so very excited to be using that certainly justifies the 240 millimeter AIO we also have the SL 600 M from coolermaster they hooked Sebastian up with this chassis an absolutely just stunning case visually speaking and of course it's subjective but I think it's one of their nicest looking cases ever I'd also uses a chimney style effect with its airflow design so you actually have all your intake coming from the bottom of the case and being ejected out the top it should be a really fun and interesting case to build and I'm actually pretty excited because I've never worked with the SL 600 M until now on that note we should probably start gutting Sebastian's PC before merging all of his usable parts with this shiny new hot all right getting down to the wire here we've already installed all the parts that we showed off earlier you can see I mounted the RGB lighting controller for our AIO right here I had to remove one of the SSD trays to make it fit fortunately it's got a magnetic back it's not the strongest magnet though so I might get some adhesive velcro in there but that's like an okay for now everything else is in good order we only have a couple more parts to go before we're completely done so we're gonna bling things up a little bit this is pimp my rig after all with the cable mod RGB wide beam LED strip kit you get one of these for about 3035 bucks or so they're not addressable RGB but the lighting is extremely bright and the colors are pretty accurate we also have sleeve cables from antic this is the first time I've caught wind that antec makes sleeved cables and they actually look like they're pretty good quality at least from what I can tell looking through the window they're so excited to try these out and then finally we have the GPU situation now of course Sebastian has a very respectable gtx 1070 TI but again it's a pretty basic model there's no backplate and it's a it's a bit noisy plus he's currently gaming on 1080 panels so I kind of wanted to bump him up to 1440p so with all those things in mind I got him one of these yeah I did I did a thing this is the Auris extreme r-tx 2080 water force from gigabyte water force meaning that we actually have a 240 millimeter radiator AIO fixed to the GPU but to accommodate this extremely high end GPU we're actually gonna have to remove the two 200 millimeter fins that are at the bottom of the case these come pre-installed so once those fans are out we're gonna mount our 240 millimeter rad right there at the bottom as intake so we're gonna still keep the the chimney effect by creating a vertical airflow path that'll exhaust out the top so that's what we're doing and by the time I install this we will be done and I'll show you the finished product just a bit all rights built complete and looking pretty sweet quite a feat actually to build something so neat yeah it's looking really good I love how it turned out both cosmetically and functionally speaking the SL 600 M was a very nice case to build it it's definitely unique you saw from the montage that our storage actually went at the front of the case right with our SSD and hard drive just below it and then just behind that was our power supply with all of our cable managing a good majority of it going on right behind this plate that would otherwise be covering a bunch of drive trays or drive cages in a more conventional chassis and also just due to the layout of the case we have our radiator for the GPU mounted to the bottom as opposed to what would ordinarily be the front intake so it definitely gives the system a unique appearance that I think looks pretty cool and Coolermaster took a lot of risks with this case but I think most of them paid off because my build experience with it was very positive overall additionally I should mention that our GPU is mounted vertically the SL 600 M has two vertical slots but it did not come included with a PCI riser cable so I actually had to pull one from my cable mod PCIe vertical GPU bracket kind of just snagged it from there and it worked like a charm the main reason I mounted it this way was not only to show off the LEDs on the shroud there but also to create a more direct airflow path and to not impede the air flow that's coming from these front fans because this is really the only intake that we have in the system and it's firing straight up towards the CPU a radiator so if the GPU was mounted horizontally it would be blocking a lot of the air that those fans are pushing up so it was kind of a form and function decision on my so there it is guys in all of its glory I think Sebastian will have a good time gaming on this thing which reminds me Sebastian actually mentioned that he's currently gaming on a few 1080p TN panels or twisted nematic panels which is fine at all totally fine it actually is probably a very nice setup for his old PC but with an RT X 2080 I think we're we're craving a little bit more pixel pushing so I kind of wanted to up him to 1440p perhaps and well I also admire how fast TN panels are I'm also well aware of their various shortcomings when it comes to things like color reproduction and viewing angle and so forth so I thought since we're already upgrading his keyboard and mouse why not throw in a panel - well well well what do we have here this is a beauty have a monitor the AOC agon this thing's pretty sweet 27 inches 2560 by 1440 I thought it was IPS but upon further inspection it's actually a VA panel which is just as good in my book we also have display gr 400 ignore that free sync to HDR yes I'm aware that we have a GeForce GPU from Nvidia but free C 2 will work perfectly fine this is most likely gonna be a decent compatible display we also have 144 Hertz not too shabby alright so special thanks to AOC for sending this over go ahead and check them out I'll put some links in the description if you want to learn more about this panel or the rest of their products on that notes and I think it's time for the big reveal I'm super excited to see Sebastian's reaction to this whole setup and bear in mind guys you know a lot of people who are on this show they might be a little introverted or just a bit camera shy just because they don't give an explosive reaction when they see their new system doesn't mean they're not appreciative or overwhelmed or feeling a lot of things internally I see a lot of comments that's why I'm saying this guys you don't know what it's like to be surprised like that in front of the world's greatest youtuber it's just the things that go through your mind is just it's a bit overwhelming for most people now the last thing I'll mention here is that if you're feeling a little jelly of Sebastian right now you should consider entering cooler masters found it best by giveaway the grand prize winner gets a huge pile of hardware including an H 500 ml 120 L RGB cooler CK 530 and more second and third place winners get hooked up with some really nice gear too so if you're feeling lucky head to the link in the description below to enter for a chance to win on that note I think it's time that we show Sebastian his new gaming setup let's do it all right man this is the moment we've been waiting for any any thoughts going through your mind I just know I don't know you have first of all what have you been doing this whole week without a system I've just my phone basically is it an open game Elam I've had to resort to mobile gaming I'm sorry to have to have to put you through that but I promise the wait was worth it you have any expectations for what might be under the screen sheet I can see it as bigger so that's basically it so the only thing you know really is if there's a case upgrade it's very yes okay what you really really need it yeah are you ready to see your new system yeah here it is man I hope you like it Oh as you can see there's a couple different things case that's like Oh is that are those good are those good gasps or bad gasps that's it's so good what yeah so we we thought we thought you deserved a GPU upgrade as well so we have created you to a a gigabyte Oris extreme r-tx 2080 oh my god has an AI Oh fixed to it so it's actually water-cooled you can see we also switched you from air cooling to liquid cooling on the CPU as well so you still have the 9600 K as we both know you were on B 360 so you couldn't even overclock right right now we have your chip to 4.8 gigahertz on all course that's what the help of the the Auris motherboard as well so you're on so you're on to 390 now this thing should hopefully make your minesweeper experience a lot more enjoyable any thoughts let me know you think I I just don't know what to say it looks amazing it's just that's so much better than my old computer it just looks amazing that's it yeah it's always kind of difficult with these things when you know clients are kind enough to let me work on their systems everyone has such a different personal taste right read statics and stuff so it's like I'm kind of shooting in the dark apart from a couple questions that I asked you at the beginning so I never quite know how people are gonna react or how much they're actually gonna like the systems that I put together but it seems like you like it so yeah I'm glad it I'm glad it worked out it's just stunning it's just amazing thank you so much that the surprise doesn't end there everything you see on this table is now yours oh my god so we have the AOC monitor 2560 by 1440 IPS 144 Hertz curved display peripherals by Cooler Master we even threw in an RGB mouse pad for you it's amazing yeah man Congrats on your new setup but yeah huge shout out to everyone who put this together for you especially Coolermaster couldn't be possible without you guys AOC and gigabyte came to the rescue as well with with a lot of things to see here so a huge huge thanks to those guys thank you so much yeah of course yeah give me a hug give me a this is this is hug this is how where they stuff I'm glad you like the system so much dude that's gonna do it for now guys make sure you toss a like on the video if you enjoyed it get subscribe for more tech stuff coming at you really soon and I will see you in the next video you
