the dark based Pro 900 wide edition from be quiet is finally here with a modular design for ultimate flexibility silent wings 3 140 millimeter pwm fans outstanding water cooling support and so much more the white edition is available in limited quantities so catch it before it's gone you can learn more by clicking the link in the description below what's going on guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well I have been waiting for this video for a long time this project has been in the works for several months believe it or not and it's finally coming to fruition I'm super excited this is actually a collaboration between me and fantex or fantex and I so they have provided a lot of this hardware so huge shout to them for making this possible we are gonna be building the most epic custom water-cooled system that I have ever built inside of their in Thule chassis which I guess isn't saying much because I've only built two custom water-cooled systems ever but the system we're gonna be building over the next couple weeks is going to trounce both of those by a friggin landslide and the point of all this the purpose of this system is to really showcase the pinnacle of top-end hardware that can be had here in 2017 this is about as good as it gets if you're if money is really no object because we are gonna be assembling a more or less about a ten thousand dollar PC by the end of all of this so it should be very exciting I'm super excited you should be excited - I hope you're mentally prepared for the that's about to go down it's gonna be glorious on that note let's quickly go over our list of hardware here because there's a lot to cover once again starting with the enthu elite from fantex this is a beast of a case guys it has the most custom water cooling and radiator support of any case I've ever worked with personally and we're gonna be utilizing it pretty much to its fullest potential today it does have support for a dual system you could do a dual system in this case however we're not going to be doing that for this particular build I know a lot of you guys are probably gonna be upset with me about that but rest assured we are gonna forego that option in place of more radiators more water cooling hardware to lower our thermals even further so very excited to be using this case of course it looks absolutely fantastic all lit up and stuff if you've never seen it but more on that later additionally our CPU of choice maybe you guys are probably curious as to what platform I've decided to include with this particular bill I'm going sky like X guys I'm going for the most cores and most threads on Intel's high-end desktop platform we've got the core i9 79 80 X II which is an 18 core 36 thread monster now there is a question to delete or not to do live do you want me to deliver this and perhaps apply some liquid metal as the folks over at gamers Nexus have done in order to reduce the thermals that much more it's a risk that I might be willing to take if there's enough interest of course I don't think we'll need to but it might still be cool just toodle it and go through that process for this build now of course a two thousand dollar eighteen core CPU deserves to be mounted in a worthy motherboard and I feel like there is no motherboard more worthy than the ROG rampage six extreme that we have here from Asus I fell in love with this board as soon as I saw it at Computex this year the RGB implementation that asus has done underneath this sort of trans translucent plating is absolutely stunning to look at when it's all powered up and stuff and there's just a ton of connectivity we're gonna be mounting some MDOT two drives to this guy there's plenty of features here that I do not even feel equipped to read off right now because they're just so many this box comes with like a thousand accessories hopefully it's a good overclocker as well I can't imagine why it wouldn't be of course we're gonna see exactly how far we can push our 79 ATX here but that's of course for a later video as well and we will be pairing that motherboard and CPU with this amazing ddr4 kit from g.skill I have to give a huge shout out to those guys because they actually hooked it up with not a 32 not a 64 but a 128 gigabyte kit of their tried nzr GB ddr4 at 32 hundred megahertz guys this is incredible this kit is blazing fast and we've got eight 16 gigabyte sticks in here to fully populate all the DIMM slots on our rampage 6 extreme it's gonna be pretty badass so Thank You G skill for hooking it up there additionally we've got graphics cards well right now we only have one but rest assured the second one is on its way we've got the Strix GTX 1080p i/o see from Asus thank you ACS for providing these the cooler is amazing out of the box which is why I'm sort of a bittersweet moment where I'm gonna actually have to move the already robust cooler and replace it with a fancy water block but I'm sure I'll get over it pretty quickly so that's gonna be pretty sweet two of these in SLI is again almost as good as it gets unless you're talking maybe a Titan XP an SLI or something like that but for the most part it's gonna kick major ass additionally we've got power supply enter max plateau max DF Platinum it's an 80 plus Platinum modular unit fully modular with just a super high rated efficiency of course the 1200 watt units can be able to power everything in our system it's gonna DF switch on the back so during operation you can hit that switch the fan will actually reverse and kick off any of the dust that's accumulated on the fan to keep it clean and the sleep cables are actually gorgeous they've got like sort of a white speckle thing going on but unfortunately won't be able to see them because we're gonna be using custom tables now storage is the other thing that we don't have on hand just yet we're still waiting on some m2 drives from Samsung those are gonna be some 960 pros capacities of either 500 or 1 terabyte maybe we can get a 2 terabyte stick in here that would be pretty sweet but of course we're probably gonna have one for boot and then the other for mass storage and games and things like that those are of course some of the fastest m2 drives you can buy on the market right now which makes them a perfect fit for this bill moving on now to our expansive list of custom water-cooling Hardware fan Tech's have hooked it up with their Glacier Series C 350 I this is a CPU water block for Intel LGA 2011 or 2060 6 or 1150 whatever sockets and this water block is super sexy it has RGB lighting which can sync up with Asus Ora MSI mystic light etc it looks fantastic at first I was like I don't know if I like it because I'm so used to seeing ek water blocks on everything these days but the more I look at this and the more I work with this the more I fall in love with it it's really grown on me just the overall aesthetic and it looks very well machined super sturdy additionally we're gonna be using fan Texas glacier series water blocks for the GPUs they've got Strix Edition water blocks for our cards here for our 1080p is also glacier series super nice-looking blocks also have RGB implementation that can sync up with various software's now not all of our custom water cooling Hardware today is from fan text mind you we do have some stuff from good ol ek water blah including their x3 250 millimeter reservoir this is just just a standard acrylic tube reservoir very popular option among the custom water cooling community this is this does not have a pump of course so I actually have a pump on its way right now also from ek the model number escapes me at the moment but rest assured that we'll be pairing very nicely with this guy and radiators radiators up the friggin yin-yang look at this we've got to EXCI three hundred and sixty millimeter radiators from ek two of them okay but that's not all we also have two more 420 millimeter radiators these are the C II series from ek water blocks all four of these radiators will be fitting inside of the end two elite by the end of this little build log here we are radiating with radiators ladies and gentlemen we are pretty much filling up every orifice of the end through Elite with custom water cooling hardware to get temps as low as possible and hopefully get a system as quiet as possible too so if you guys think again if this is overkill it certainly is and finally we've got fittings we've got tons of fittings once again from fantex I can't show up to you guys right now but there's probably there's probably looks several several dozen fittings in here all shapes and sizes they are gonna be hard line fittings of course we're going to be using PT G hard line tubing this stuff is branded by this is monsoon I've never worked with this brand before all the other stuff on performance pcs comm was sold out this had a fairly good rating and seemed like a good clear ptg options so we're gonna be bending with this I don't know if we're gonna get around to bending tubes today but certainly soon enough alright guys so there you have all the parts that we're gonna be using for this system with the exception of the radiator fans I actually haven't picked out fans yet I don't know what what I want yet but hopefully by part 2 we can get that all ironed out if you guys couldn't tell by now this is gonna be a heavily RGB friendly system I mean we've got RGB on the water blocks the motherboard the RAM etc so we're gonna have a lot of flexibility once this is all said and done to play around in the software and Asus or or what have you and kind of just customized a bunch of different lighting profiles and so forth so it's gonna be super exciting I'm to start building but before we actually get anything inside of the case itself I mean the last thing we want is to build inside of the end through elite fire it up with all the custom water cooling hardware and find out that something's defective and we have to undo all of our hard work so what we're gonna do first is a test boot outside of the case just to ensure that all of our core components are working properly and then we can continue on with building inside of the case sound good all right three two what alright y'all so without much effort at all we've assembled our test build outside of the case we're ready to boot or at least try booting we've got surface mounted power button on the motherboard I'm gonna go ahead and fire that up motherboard LEDs were turning on just fine and looks like we've got LEDs to our ddr4 modules ah oh there we go splash screen success get into that BIOS up stupid message from the monitor hey test boot success yes very lovely alright beautiful yay everything's looking good okay looks like we've got a core idle temp of 33 degrees Celsius on our core i9 which seems pretty normal and it's showing up it looks like two of our DIMM slots are not registering with the modules here although I suspect once we set up XMP it'll register just fine but I think we can call this a successful test boot ladies and gentlemen and we are ready to go on to our next steps which include mounting the GPU blocks onto the graphics card so we actually do have only one GPU right now we're still waiting on the other one as I mentioned and we still need to test that one before we now it'll water walk to that but this one's good to go and I've used this card several times in the past so I think we are ready to start mounting that block to this GPU and perhaps also we'll get around to mounting the CPU block onto our core I 9 let's go ahead and do that now alright waterblock has been mounted looks fantastic on top of our GP 102 look at that this thing is heavy this thing weighs a ton but looks sexy AF bruh you can see we've got our RGB cable hanging off here we have a couple options for this we could connect it to the case directly there's a built in RGB controller inside of the n2 elites or we can connect it to the 50/50 header on our motherboard actually as I'm sure there's probably more than one on the rampage six extreme or we could even connect it to the card itself if you guys remember the Strix 10 ABT i actually has an RGB header right on the PCB so we could do that too clearly we've got plenty of options but we'll have to circle back to that in part two because we are all out of time for today I really wanted to get some of the hardware installed into the chassis in this part one video but lo and behold I don't have any fans for the radiator so I don't know exactly how far I would get anyway and plus I am just short on time so we're gonna have to do that in part two part two I'm sure will will actually start doing some two bending and get our runs figured out and it should be glorious so thank you guys so much for tuning in be sure to leave any comments questions or concerns of yours in the comments below and feel free to toss me a like on the video if you enjoyed it it helps a lot guys thank you so much subscribe to the channel for more tech stuff coming at you really soon including the rest of this beautiful series and I will see you guys in the next video
