check do you copy yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo what's up everyone welcome to boot it episode 4 of season 5 this is the grand finale the finale of all finales the show of all shows this is the final episode not just of the season but of the entire series of booted if you guys happen to miss my channel announcements that I posted mode a week or two ago probably two weeks now this I'm canceling the show simple as that simply so I can free up some of my time to do other videos focus more on the review stuff maybe do some more sketch comedy you know you guys really like the the GTX 1060 embargo wrap that I did maybe do some more stuff like that and I can't really do that with this awesome show on my plate every week it is it's been so much fun I've really enjoyed doing this and you guys have really made it enjoyable as well just showing so much support I would consider this little series here a huge success I mean I was looking over the members just the other day and camping out at like sometimes a thousand somebody I think one point we hit like 1500 viewers live those are numbers that rival what Paul and I get on awesome hardware show that we've been doing for three if not four times as long so I'm very happy with how this series has turned out throughout the course of its life as short-lived as it may be so I just want to say thank you in the bottom of my heart and all that sappy crap for just uh just for just bringing it for a shown support and for just tearing up chat like you guys do so thank you very very much appreciate it but we have a show to get on to ladies and gentlemen this is if you guys are it's kind of funny if this happens to be the first episode of Buddha that you're catching quite ironic but for those of you who are unfamiliar um every season we would basically go through a series of 15 different candidates or 15 different computers and they would get eliminated off they would get voted off one by one usually in chunks of four at a time until there was only three finalists out of that 15 out of that pool of 15 only three finalists would make it to the final round of that particular season or month and today ladies and gentlemen is the final round for the East three five Audio is too quiet for me I can definitely turn that up boom I've got my little mixing table here I bet the mixing table has something to do with it boom yo yo yo that wow wow yippee Oh eb8 thanks Kevin for the donation and letting me know my audios off hopefully this fix the issue wifey sauce will come in here and let me know whether or not it's been fixed I'm also looking in the chat to see that it is lit its lit fam it's lit fam spam like your asian asian asian cousin or something fist me daddy still quiet okay wrong mic perhaps it's the wrong Mike let me see Mike yep I'm gonna I'm gonna check that right now so let's see old you ha ha ha ha check Oh No maybe Oh check hello can you hear me I believe that just switched over the mic to the boom she's right here ah uh-huh there's the boom does it sound better now yo hey whoo all right thank you guys in chat for letting me know I'm not sure how that got switched around must have been from tweaking the settings on awesome hardware the other week but okay as I was saying this is the final round so we've got three contestants three runner uh three finalists I should say and they're all I would say the three best pcs we've ever seen on booted at least the three most expensive for sure because they're all custom water-cooled this is the I should also mention that this is the custom water-cooled Edition or season of booted the first and only first and only one and it's been it's been really exciting because you just get to see a lot more creativity with a custom liquid-cooled build I'm actually working on one myself just posted my first build log on the channel if you haven't seen it um so there's a lot of work and a lot of thought that goes into these I mean as much thought as you want to put into them but it has the potential to really you have the potential to make it your own and so we've been seeing a lot of personality from the systems on this particular season so we're gonna check out three finalists right now starting with Brad Brad was our week one finalist and he was rockin inside of the fantex evolved micro ATX case and for a micro ITX system he's just really crammed a lot of stuff in here and done an amazing job at making it look damn good that is not a hardware canucks referenced in case you were wondering but I just I love the color scheme here I feel like gray is one of those underrated colors when it comes to custom liquid cooling people don't really use gray all that much or if they do they use it kind of as a secondary color look kind of like how I did hot line you see a lot of that but to use gray as a primary color I felt was really original here and and it just it just works beautifully I love how he did the custom work on the radiator those are those are some ek right that's sorry that's the reservoir those are XS PC so those are XS PC rads - 40s I was 240 at the front I guess there's a 240 at the top - it looks bigger than a 240 but I guess that case doesn't support a 280 but yeah so he's got two of those and he's painted in both gray the cable sleeping on this thing is let's see if I can find a better shot where is it wait where are you look at that's leaving I think I think Brad takes the cake for best cable sleeping on booted or at least in this season I shouldn't say in the entire series I'm sure there's someone else you who rivals this but just cable management on point that training is just wicked just look at that side profile I love that I love the runs in this system - I like how the I really like the bend going from the GPU to the the waterblock I think that's just a really nice curve that fills out the rest of the system it would have looked a little empty in that second quadrant of the rig had he just kind of gone straight up and in to the CPU from the video card but I really like how this looks it looks very pleasing to the eyes nothing's too one-sided everything's well balanced it seems and let's take another look at this shot here so stock window right on the stock window on the on the case on the evolved micro ATX just looks absolutely beautiful I also like how he did the watch McCall I love the choice of fittings I always kind of got like a black and red vibe going over there and his water block how we went with a full nickle ek supremacy Evo I think it's it's really often that we see the water block and like the GPU terminal match like you they're either both black or they're both nickel-plated they're both like you know plexi um I don't know I think I think he took a gamble to see whether or not it would look good if he just had that the waterblock looked completely different than the other elements and I think it checks out I think it looks fantastic and it also matches the SLI bridge that they've got over there I'm sorry that's a yeah that's an SLI bridge he's got two GTX 780 TI's in SLI I should probably mention that Core i7 4790k but yeah all together looks very beautiful beautiful system Brad however as most of you know by now on the season finale of every episode of booted we do something a little bit extra where we show off the cable management the underbelly of each finalists system just to show I don't know just to show their ugly side if they have an ugly side it's got to be the cable management side so we're gonna check out Brad's we're gonna check out Brad's closet see if he's got any skeletons in there so here it is here's here's Brad's cable management and actually it's it's not terrible so one thing you have to remember is that the the Evolve fantex at the Evolve is an incredibly well designed case that has tons of a room for air for cable management and especially by the power supply because you've just got tons of room so much room for activities and his cables look more or less very tied down they're all bound very nicely I'd say his his fan cables going into the fan hub at the back of a behind the motherboard tray or a little bit loose they could have been routed together but it's not a Bismil side panel still probably going to go on no problem as SSDs got two of those SSDs there the Samsungs and he's even got a little nice drain system at the bottom there I really like the drain system that's actually going out the rear of his chassis can't remember if the entha we've olve has a grommet there or routing hole for frigerator or if that's custom I'm not sure either way smart choice Brad and your cable management checks out in my book so well done on you mate very very nice system next we've got Ian ian is also building in a fan text case however he's gone the full ATX tower route here with it enthu primo again a beautiful case fantex does great work in the in the chassis department is wrecking the core i7 5820k and two gtx 980ti s in sli and as you can tell ian has gone with a full blown aperture labs custom theme and thank you very much well uh for the donation baby oil cooled PC I'm gonna said we're gonna save that for awesome hardware I feel like Paul would get offended and and hurt he would be genuinely hurt if I did anything baby oil related without him so um that'll have to wait until another awesome hardware show but appreciate the donation so okay so we've got an aperture labs ridiculous portal theme here I feel like I'm hyping it up too much but it is a really nice system I love the colors obviously great choice you've got orange and blue for the to represent each of the main characters that you play as in Portal 2 he's got the little figurines stand them off to the right here as well there's those AKG K 7 X X's that that I'm rocking right now Illuminati confirmed but I just love the bends and this as well the runs are so clean like there's so many bends and I said this before on the episode that Ian was featured in a couple weeks ago but the bend going from his CPU down to the kind of shroud the power supply shroud down there the blue one that's going down I just love how it wraps around the video cards like he I don't know it's like he didn't take any shortcuts you know what I mean like he didn't have to do it that way but I don't know especially the the orange one going from the GPU to the radiator up top I'm sorry yeah the GP to the radiator up top if we look at it here how it kind of just goes in towards the motherboard and then up and then it goes back out up to the radiator up top like he could have just gone like diagonally like he didn't have to make all those crazy bends I just feel like he did a lot of extra work here just to make that just to get the look that he really wanted and I think his time and patience really paid off here I love the the back plates the custom back plates here on the GPUs as well everything about this system is just so well thought out he's got the decals on not only the GPUs but on the motherboard the little cover over his rear i/o and even look at the sli bridge even the sli bridge has a little aperture light up aperture logo there that's that's so freakin crazy I just I love it I love man I love it so much and obviously he's got two different loops here that's pretty obvious but in case you're not too familiar with liquid cooling the blue and orange are completely separate loops so he's got one loop for a CPU that's the blue one and then the orange ones going just for his GPU so he's got dedicated cooling loops for each of those component regions so temps are pretty pretty chilly I would imagine and more decals on the on the radiators and you can see we've got some white LED accent lighting here rounding out the case matches beautifully like again perfect case choice I think for an aperture themed build like I said it just looks like it was made in the lab just the case itself it's got that strip it's like very sterile looking very like clean minimalistic it looks like a robot itself kind of does and I believe this is a custom window looks like you did some custom work here with the window I don't think that comes stuck on the Primeau so nice nice job on that as well cable cabling is is a very nice on the the the GPU your PCI Express cables are just that perfect bullets them curves dim curves oh yeah and I think white LEDs was a great choice I'm glad you didn't try to spice it up with like an NZXT hue plus tried to make it all you know orange and blue flashing lights and stuff at you did a perfect job with white in my opinion but we still have to look at your cable management Ian to see if you're hiding anything we should be concerned about this let's check let's check that out all right interesting okay so um you can clearly see he's got some soft tubing back here obviously that's just for just true to help things work around a little bit easier back there and cable management is surprisingly good for how much stuff you have cramming it into the system like you've taken advantage of all the tie-down points you're using velcro straps properly your fan cables are routed nicely to the hub it's just it looks kind of messy at first just because there's so much stuff there's really just a lot going on but for everything that you've been working with I think you managed it pretty well damn then pumps man good thing you got those pump mounts buying that case oh yeah good job Ian good job you're definitely in the running for a reason and then last up we've got oh where are the specs on this one this is Patrick's but Patrick does not have where is your stuff Patrick give me a sec to bring up Patrick's specs and stuff so we can see what hardware he's he's sporting here and beer chage shared mission what oh there we go okay so this is Patrick C's uh you know building in the Corsair graphite 780 great case for water cooling much room to plan stuff out I just got a text message for my wife while I'm streaming I wonder if this is like a delayed message like about but I'm up nope she's just she's replying to my other friends stupid group texts I hate group texts anyway we've got the x99s sli plus motherboard from MSI 16 gigs of Corsair dump lat Stevie our 420 603 way GTX 980 s holy smokes remember back then when you could do 3-way good times good times Samsung 950 pro and an 840 Evo didn't have much specs here on the liquid cooling except we're rocking a ek supremacy Evo also a GPU block is from ek as well take a side profile here now you've gone with a kind of a distilled water it's just completely clear and as many of you guys know who saw last week's episode he's got an NZXT hue plus in here so that reflects really well we'll talk about that a little bit later as far as the bends go again all the bends and in these rigs are just super clean I don't see any kind of like bubbling or you know artifacts I don't know if I would call them artifacts but there's no awkward bends everything looks really parallel and even and it's a it's just that's just a fat radiator at the front I really like that radiator you've got a 360 at the top as well and there's a 120 there's a 120 millimeter radiator at the very bottom of the case that's kind of recessed into that lower region it's kind of a lower compartment down there cable management is super OnPoint here also just going with a color neutral theme all around black white gray and I think I think a white case was a good choice about how you've got just like your is that an SSD in your drive K yeah it looks like you've got some SSDs and in the cage I wasn't sure if you were keeping them behind your motherboard tray at all but yeah I like just how you have all your drives just just chilling right above your your radiator there that's that's also really nice see if we've got another shot here beautiful got using the same water block on my my current project right now and it's very pretty happy with my choice yeah it's just super clean cable routing the training is on point as well so here's an LED shot with the hue plus on this is just pure white and whites a nice color because it just shows you the true the true color of whatever's inside in this case the true color inside the only real colors like silver and white and some gray accents maybe but if you have more colorful components inside of your system changing the LED color to something other than white usually tends to wash it out I know if Hotline like I actually like the way it looks better with white lighting than pink lighting or fuchsia lighting whatever you want to call it because doles the colors whenever there's you know like a saturated pink LED in there but it's a matter of preference um of course Patrick Pia you know he's a man of variety so every once in a while when he's feeling crazy he he puts it on spectrum mode puts that hue plus on spectrum and just takes his pants off and dances around and I think I think this is this is just it has like that wow factor I would say not many systems do this even really really nice ones don't have like the wow factor where it's almost kind of mesmerizing I think the the hue plus just does a really good job here reflecting the light bouncing off of the the colorless distilled water alright yeah distilled fluid just looks really nice I like it I like it a lot moon oh oh oh I should have done video submissions well I tried doing video submissions for booted if they could like send me a video of their actual system so we could like maybe see if they had like some led effects that would not be well represented in photo form but that would would have limited the entries anyway I'm getting off-topic Patrick excellent build but we still have to look at your cable management just to make sure that you're not full of shit that you actually know how to build a computer because I'm not convinced after seeing all this no you could just be some hack job doesn't even know how to install a CPU I don't know I'm saying let's see how you did on the back alright Wow okay so um on the right side where you've got your extensions your sleeve extensions it looks like you've grouped them all very nicely and on the left side it looks just like spaghetti I guess it I can't tell if there's a method to your madness here or if it's just madness because it looks like things are crossing over especially you know when you get closer to your drives but over there you got SATA cables and you know cables for your fear uh maybe there's a fan controller on the 780 T or whatever it is your hue plus there's a lot of stuff going on over there and I feel like you could have cleaned it up a little bit more just because you do have so much space um behind the motherboard tray in the 780 t I think you've got like an inch and a half at least maybe even more I'm not sure but but yeah I would say I would say cable management on the backside not your strongest point out of the out of the three competitors here today however I have seen worse and and your front side turns me on so on that note those are our three final finalists ladies and gentlemen and right about now you should be seeing a link be blown up in chat by my by various mods I've got some beautiful mods that have also been just a huge help for this show so click that link and vote vote on which PC you want and just really quick shout outs to spider fan Mike the manic geek cell processing and of course wifey sauce for just being amazing mods just handling anything I ever needed for this series it's just been a no brainer and you guys have really made it a lot easier on me then it could have been so I do appreciate you guys helping out and stuff but yeah go ahead and vote on who you will think deserves the ground prize in case you guys forgot or you didn't know the grand-prize have booted for every season I've been giving away a $500 gift card and it's usually it's in their choice of a steam gift card or an Amazon gift card every winter so far of the seasons have have chosen the Amazon gift card most likely to soup up their rigs buy more computer hardware things like that thank you very much Feenie for the donation you would shit on Anne Hathaway's chest I think we all would except for me because I'm married and my wife is watching this so um I forgot what I was saying I'm just thinking about pooping on in Hathaways chest now but but yes it's uh it's it's it's nice to see people win things it's nice to be able to give them things that they deserve am I trying to say it's cool seeing someone earn something and being really happy about it so yeah you built a kick-ass system and you beat out 14 other systems enjoy this prize and make your system even more awesome so you can go on entering other PC contests in the future and beating those as well um but yeah I don't know I mean I guess there is always room for improvement right like a PC I don't know is a PC ever done or is it just as done as you want it to be I guess you could always make iterations to it over over time right cuz I don't know what like all the all the PCs that we saw just now are like borderline perfect in my opinion a couple tweaks here and there but you don't need like a $500 gift card to really improve it that much diminishing law returns and all that but it doesn't have to be computer hardware they might just want to buy a bunch of I don't know gloves maybe they're really in desperate need of lots of gloves Amazon can do that for you um but I've killed enough time I think just by rambling nonsense here because I don't have a sponsor spot had to fill fill the Philly Philly air a little bit there but I think right now we should take a look at our season five winner because 15 pcs entered this season of booted like they usually do 12 of them were eliminated booted if you will by you guys the live audience and that left three three noble contenders but uh now we're gonna have to chop off two more of them because the end of the day folks you guys know that there can only be one who is the one ladies and gentleman is a brad is it Ian or is it Patrick who will be the very last and final series winner Wow oh my goodness this is insane Ian with look at this freaking three-way three-way a um this three-way just battle to the first place this is I think the closest we've ever seen the scoreboard in booted for sure I mean Ian won by about 8% but then Patrick and and Brad just 1% away from each other fascinating fascinating and they weren't even that far behind Ian holy moly and really I that that's cool oh you guys can't see anything I'm so sorry I am fuck I'm a fuckup even one in wins Ian wins all the things like I was saying look at how close this is guys holy shit I'm just talking to myself for like the last five minutes beautiful what a way to end the series holy smokes so congratulations Ian you you clearly deserve it I think you've won the hearts of many of the live viewers with your your homage to the portal franchise and I can see why you are our season champion for this series absolutely good stuff and then and also pat on the backs huge pat on the backs pat on the grundles to Brad and Patrick for making it this far and for just getting inches within the the victory the gold medal man that was that was really close that was really good guys um but shit that's that's it Ian I'll be contacting you soon via email look out for my email we'll be in touch my people call your people actually on how many people I'll just ill just be me but um that's it guys this brings a tear to my eye to to say goodbye but it's not really goodbye cuz I'll be seeing you in the next video anyway I've got a lot of good stuff planned um let me know let me know if you guys want to see more reviews of things or more like testing of things like more experimental stuff or you see reviews like unboxings and things like that because I've got like a video queue of things that need to get reviewed but then also like like different experiments that I want to do with like the 1060 or the the R X 480 but it's like do I just do it like a proper review of that card or do I do something like off the rails because I know the vendors gonna be mad like hey where's that review I'll be like oh sorry I've been like testing it in doom with Vulcan and OpenGL for like the last 20 days cuz that's what I feel like doing but I know I need to do the review stuff but what do you guys want to see let me know um and also I might be doing a Pokemon go sketch in the next coming who knows how long but I think that'll be fun um not going to be a wrap it's just gonna be a straight-up sketch this time we'll see it's in the works but that is going to do it for now guys thank you all as always for tuning in and being such awesome awesome fans and viewers I'm just super super fortunate to have you guys on my side and and with me all the time so have a good evening I hope you all enjoy the rest of your days or evenings or mornings or what have you and I'll be seeing you guys very shortly and yeah peace love you
