okay.what anything though oh ah it makes stuff cool it makes stuff cool whoa that's not supposed to happen yeah hey honey just this isn't good you know it's fine it's just a little wardrobe malfunction nothing we can't handle where the heck did this Corvette come from the does he even have a life oh no he does not we spray put this somewhere safe just go with the Celsius line of all-in-one liquid coolers from fractal design it's easy to stay cool click on the link in the description for more info what's going on everyone welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well today is the long-awaited upgrade of my no.2 of to build the go anywhere do anything PC which you know I built last year or so and since then it really can't do anything you can still go anywhere but it's been slowing down incrementally over the last few months especially when it comes to more heavily threaded tasks like streaming or video editing I've actually noticed a significant slowdown since the day I built it so we are going to be upgrading the crap out of it nearly every part is getting a pretty fat upgrade so this is really exciting including I'm just gonna go down the list really quick for starters were dropping the 6700 K for a risin 7 1700 which literally has double the number of cores and thread this thing's going to be awesome for streaming and video editing and definitely no slouch when it comes to gaming either we're flopping that into the BIOS star racing X 370gt n which is the first mini ITX motherboard for a m4 that you can purchase in the u.s. to my knowledge I already did a video on it you can go ahead and check that out it's a fantastic little board for not too much money it doesn't have Wi-Fi so I might have to populate one of my USB ports in the back with the Wi-Fi adapter or something like that but for the most part it should be a fantastic little board for our needs we've also got a 16 gigabyte pitch that's - 8 gig sticks of g.skill ripjaws 5 I believe when we click the speed is on this 32 hundred megahertz ddr4 with very nice gunmetal grey heat spreaders and for our CPU cooler you might not call this an upgrade because we're actually ditching the current a i/o that's in the system right now to this cryo rig c7 which is an air cooler it's a very small one you can't really fit a massive air cooler at all inside of the no 202 that being said I've worked with this cooler in the past it's very good for its price and size and while it doesn't support rising out of the box I was able to get a name for bracket for full compatibility so that should be pretty fun the reason why I'm going air cooler instead liquid coolers because there just aren't many 120 millimeter a iOS that support a m4 at the moment I may upgrade in the future but for now the c7 I'm really excited to see what it can do on this 65 watt TDP rise in CPU for a power supply now the no 202 already has the fractal design included power supply 450 watt which is a B+ certified on all that but it's not modular and it's got those hideous ketchup and mustard cables and even though you can't really see them from the outside of the case I still know deep down in my heart that they're ugly as hell so I'm replacing that unit with this SF 450 unit from Corsair it's 80 plus gold it's fully modular and it just looks absolutely beautiful with those black flat cables and finally we've got the geforce gtx 1070 mini from gigabyte this is the factory overclocked model and i can't wait to use it this is going to be a huge upgrade over the existing radeon r9 nan-oh that's been in here it was a kickass card when it first came out and now it's really starting to show its age especially now with all the super fast Pascal GPU offerings on the market so that's what we're dealing with today guys should be a lot of fun and we will be doing some AV comparison testing as well of gaming and coding thermal acoustics all that jazz we'll save that for the end of the video though I'm really excited to see what kind of games can be had with this new hardware for now let's go ahead and start swapping these parts out or in or both we're doing a hardware transplant if you will right now so let's go ahead and kick that off three two one go I hope that brackets made of metal you you you well pow pow pow pow pow and I don't know sorry I ran out of royalty free porn groove music but here's the bills all complete we looking good I might add I like the power supply like how it's all black like how the cables are all black makes the whole system a bit more color neutral which is good by me and look at this cable management it's not the best but you know I tried I tried it definitely looks a lot better in the lower chamber simply because the radiator from the i/o is gone which I think also is good for the video card I think it creates a better thermal situation overall because there's not something sort of blocking any potential airflow that might be coming from this ventilation here you know the via gtx 1070 mini it is a little bit bigger than the Radeon r9 nano but not by much it's actually more you know it's about the same length but it's just a little bit taller first I was oh I didn't check this video card going to fit in the note co2 but it fits just fine there's even maybe a you know 3/4 to an inch of clearance at the bottom there so no problem in case you were wondering if that would fit in this particular casting you end up here let's do got here is getting you can't really see the the 2.5 inch drive that's behind this mess of cables here it's a 960 big savage from Kingston HyperX and this is one thing I forget to mention at the beginning of the video which I'm sure most of you deduced by now which is I'm using the same storage configuration as in the 1.0 version of this build which includes that drive of course as well as the 512 gig what is it m2 nvme samsung 950 Pro that's actually known as behind the motherboard because that's where the only about 2 slot on that board is and it's a super fast drive like I said nvme it's not the latest it's not the 960 Pro but it's super fast though for what it's worth so I didn't feel the need to upgrade really but that's pretty much all I have to say about the build just looking really flat really flat man and so I think at this point I'm going to go ahead and change camera angles so we can talk about the thing I'm most excited to discuss which is performance now this being a small form-factor system I knew going into this that I couldn't dial in a heavy OC for our CPU and our GPU in fact I left the video card completely alone apart from singing out the power and temps lighters but it already does come with the factory OC out of the box and it's pretty blazing fast as is and as you're about to see in the benchmarks I don't think it needs to be pushed that much further at the expense of additional heat and noise as far as our CPU goes I was able to dial in an overclock on all cores of 3.8 gigahertz at 1.3 5 volts which I'm pretty happy with I did do 3.9 I fiddled with that for a bit I just couldn't get the voltage low enough to reduce the amount of overheating it was getting pretty hot we'll take a look look at temps in just a moment now our Ripjaws 5 kit was having some compatibility issues with the bios our motherboard so in order to hit 3200 megahertz which I really wanted to do for the system I actually swapped out those modules for a G scale flare X kit which is validated and certified to support and be compatible with Rison as soon as I popped those sticks in it was smooth sailing I had to punch in the settings manually in the bios of course but after that the 32 hundred megahertz speed took just fine and that is running stable as well now apart from our rendering and live-streaming tests I only ran three additional Triple A games at 2560 by 1440 to give us an idea of what kind of performance gains we're seeing with the 2.0 version of the go anywhere do anything PC and as you're about to see the results are very telling so without further ado here's a look now if your jaw is completely on the floor by now leave it to low temperatures in a small form-factor case like the note 202 to bring it back up into place we didn't see the most favorable thermals here whether it was with the 1.0 or the 2.0 build even with the liquid AOR 1.0 system the CP was still getting up to 86 degrees Celsius we were running one degree cooler on our 1785 degrees Celsius there's nothing to write home about that's for sure but we're still within safe operating temperatures this definitely build the case for swapping out eventually liquid cooled AIO once 120-millimeter a iOS become more readily available for a m4 and Rison I will strongly consider swapping that out maybe I'll do a little update video as far as the GPU goes we we saw 79 degrees Celsius on the r9 nano which is actually not bad at all but bear in mind it's a much slower GPU than the gtx 1070 which does come factory overclocked out of the box we are hitting 85 degrees Celsius on that I'm going to go ahead and go back to the drawing board and maybe tweak the fan curves these are all just running at automatic fan curves just in the interest of time once I fine tune those I can probably get it down a little bit maybe at the expense of some noise but overall even though the thermals aren't amazing we're still managing to pack a ton of horsepower into a small footprint without turning our entire system into a melty combustible pile of goop finally I did do an acoustics test and I'll let you know right now the 2.0 build is quite a bit noisier simply because we no longer have the liquid cooled AIO in there and the fan on the c7 has to spend extra fast in order to keep all eight of those overclocked cores on our 1700 under wraps that being said it's fairly unobtrusive and if you're listening to ingame audio with either some monitors or a pair of cans you're really not going to notice it to the point where it becomes a distress from your gameplay so with that said here's a lesson but there you have it guys this has been the go anywhere do anything PC 2.0 and while it's definitely not perfect that also leaves a lot of room for improvement which means we could see a version 3.0 in the near future which is definitely an exciting prospect if you guys enjoyed this video be sure to toss me a like on its before you go and also feel free to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already otherwise I'm Khaled with thank you guys so much for watching have a good one and I'll see y'all in the next video
