R7 1700 3D Modeling PC Build Gift - Pt 1/2

2017-10-22
every one today we have a special project this is a risin build for a community member of ours zdg is the lucky recipients of this build the video will go up after he receives the system because it's a surprise so the plan here zdg is one of those very interesting characters you run into in life he has the most insane mad scientist electrical engineering projects that he post to our patreon discord he found us on patreon through the discord community and then other members of that community have put together an effort to purchase some of the parts in front of me to build zdg a better system before that this video is brought to you by thermal Grizzly makers of the conductor hot liquid metal that we recently used to drop 20 degrees off of our coffee lake temperatures thermal grizzly also makes traditional thermal compounds we use on top of the IHS like cryo not and hydro not pastes learn more at the link below I'm not I can't recall exactly what he's using I want to say it's an FX series CPU but either way it doesn't really matter because it's it's pretty aged zdg puts a lot of abuse on his components and what he does is basically just a lot of 3d modeling and animation posing work and things like that using a very specific piece of software called Daz studio I think it's it's one of the kind of like different ones we never really hear about I don't know a lot about it except that it really likes threads and so we're gonna build him horizons he system with a I think in r7 1700 the community members bought the CPU I've provided through gigabyte contacts the motherboard gigabyte sent us an ax 370 gaming 5 we have an EVGA CLC that'll go on I'm not sure yet if it'll be a 240 or 360 depends on what will fit in this case which the case here so all the parts were either collected by the other patreon community members who wanted to help zdg out because he's always complaining about being stuck on rendering scenes for days at a time so they picked the parts out and then I basically went to manufacturers who make parts I like and solicited them to send more so this isn't like they wanted to sponsor us it was a hey I would like to include you in this video because I actually liked the fame that you make so pretty interesting stuff it should be a fun build I will note that zdg the reason a large part of the reason he's getting this is because he's always very supportive of the community so his EEG has bought every shirt we make and multiple quantities he has helped build Zoid directly through contributions in patreon who of course works with us and he's donated to several of the community members in our patreon group who are streamers and things like that so this is the community's way of giving back I basically said hey I'll get the parts you guys can't afford and then I'll assemble it we'll make a video out of it and and hopefully have one pretty happy page however so ports like I said X 370 board I think it's arisin 770 hundred will find out in a moment I don't know what they bought the community also bought a kit of trident z ddr4 memory this is 3,200 megahertz and I think it's 6 16 gigabytes times 200 is it a 32 gig kit there's maybe a 30 that's a really big purchase for the community they pulled some money on this so I think we've got a 32 gig kit and looks like it yes so this is 32 gigabytes and this uh this is almost a bit of a joke at CDG's expense but it obviously benefits him quite well so this should be interesting for people who have watched the Rison coverage since the beginning at the very beginning when rise and launch it really didn't have great memory support as a lot of you remember and that's more or less been resolved but one of the questions that zeg constantly posts in chat is can rise in support 32 gigabytes at to the higher frequencies so we're gonna find out I think the answer is yes but where you'll find out for sure although we've already kind of done that to some extent with our own testing we have a 960 Evo provided by another one of the community members and all the list of everyone on the side somewhere gtx 1070 purchased I believe secondhand by the community hard drive shipped out by someone I'm gonna clear the drive and I'm gonna clear the SSD before we go any further with them just for security and what else oh pretty nice power supply actually from silverstone the silverstone sent out the case and the power supply i asked for the case specifically this is the primary PM zero one we use this for our render machine and showed it in our render machine overhaul series which there's a couple parts to now and we've liked it a lot because it has really good ventilation and air flow unlike another case we reviewed recently this one actually has crazy good air flow so despite having this mesh in the front it's got I think three front intake fans and they keep everything pretty cool and that mesh front actually does a great job at keeping dust out to the point where when we did a GN render rig update video recently I pulled it all apart having not dusted it for several months there's no dust internally it was all in the filter so I actually genuinely liked this case personally so we're gonna use that for GGG because I know he's a function over form a guy and then this I don't have experience with this is a 550 watt Strider 80 plus with platinum PSU so quite a mix of parts the parts provided by companies through our contacts were power supply case and motherboard and cooler then the rest is the community so let's get to building and we'll start with the X 370 board socketing this is a 1700 so we'll start there okay so I haven't done actually like a proper full system build for a little while because I mostly work on test benches collecting all that data that you all are familiar with so this should be a fun project for me to a lot of our benches are similar to this set up we've been working with rising for a while now had its ups and downs but it's mostly up at this point but it's still a few downs but it's it is mostly better we'll get it yeah I've got a tool for this okay so I've extracted the i/o cover just use as a cutting tool for a second don't need subpar cooler but Steve the stock boys with Verizon are actually pretty good no one cares we have better ones we can work a lot better the guy is in like insane ambient temperatures he talks about being in like 30 to 40 c a.b and he's in the US I think he's talked about 40 at the high end so we're going with like actually good tooling not an exciting stock cooling okay we should we get there this one you can just sock them pretty much wherever you want but I didn't need to check the manual I want everyone to know that Google search is a an Intel shell so Hudson gigabyte X 370 and it autocorrected it to Z 370 or suggested I should say is e 370 okay it doesn't matter so we'll just go with the one that's a bit further away from the socket so we've got a black and red kit which is good that'll go with our black and red on the case but knowing zdg he might disable the LEDs because I don't think he likes those let's see what next I guess that's really it I'm waiting on the CPU coolers running some tests right now so we're gonna build all this without the cooler I'll put that in last and it might go on the top we'll see not sure yet that is some design did you guys know this is a power supply silverstone man you guys you genuinely make some really good stuff but i don't understand my marketing i would bet a lot of people my audience probably haven't even heard of this case it is one of the better ones on the market right now right it just they just don't get as much attention as other brands and it's not as much marketing in western markets as a lot of the competing brands so you don't hear about them a whole lot yeah I should probably connect oh I see the problem all right okay so Silverstone when I was talking about making a quality product there is such a thing as going too far I don't know that's that's the tightest now I've ever had to remove should be good to go in out of the huh just for purposes of editing because we're not gonna leave that whole segment thin that was like a good 5 to 10 minutes of wrenching on the panel to try and get it out as clearly like I don't know if the paint kind of dry it or sealed it in a certain way I'm not really sure what happened there that fits might need the other one no that's right okay there's our drive this should probably get enough airflow with all this front fans I could do it they're all pad between the SSD and the motherboard but I don't think I have one thick enough for that it would help and you don't want to cool a flash on these but you want to cool the controllers anyway syncing the PCB wouldn't be bad though we're just gonna go with that there's this is pretty elevated off the board and it's like a quarter inch off the board so it's not gonna trap heat in there from the multipacks chips but the kind of crosswind coming from the front should be enough anyway okay so they bought a an MSI one frozen card is it a gaming X yes it's a gaming X video cards as you all know are pretty hard to get right now this one was he used I think and I believe is ADA the community member who bought this already tested the card so I think it's known to be working but I'm gonna do a validation pass on everything once it's built I do a full benchmark and all that stuff make sure it's all functional and I'll even check the i/o which I don't normally do just to make sure that SSD is good I want to say I think is ADA got this for like I don't know 400 380 is something like that it was actually pretty reasonable considering the price is at least at the time everyone was looking cool okay so cabling and cable management any other components left here other than that cooler obviously not sure the cooler is gonna go in the front or the top this case has this door in the front over here that it's just kind of a dust cover you can close it traps a bit of the air into the power supply shroud if it really is just to give me clearance for like a 360 I think we're gonna go with it 240 but I'm not again I'm not positive yet I'll find out after our testing that is done with the other stuff it's an EVGA CLC cool I just don't know if it's a 240 or a 360 at this point we'll decide but everything else looks good to go oh and I forgot to plug in the sense pen silverstone includes a sense pin for the 24 pin power on power supplies so I don't have to do that too okay so all right we got all the main stuff kind of weird doing the cable end without the cooler in there this is all the crap I never plug in to anything but builds not for me so I guess we'll go ahead and do that USB three headers hit everything about them I'm glad they're going away this should have never existed they break they are angled and stupid ways that are bulky and never the right length all right I think it's as much the way there they got to manage the backside now you know I will say I don't really plug things into the front panel controller a lot anymore working mostly on test benches but it's the most insane part of like computer building like I've talked with case manufacturers about this where this thing should just be standardized because the motherboards had different layouts normally they should be standardized yes it's one universal layout for all the different pins and then it comes down to the case manufacturer to create a single like USB three sized header that you just sock it into it and you're done but the industry can't agree on what should be where so there's no standardization so you get some really dumb things like that that are genuinely very archaic to get all three fans there plus the back one there and I have a hard time closing this panel I think the cooler is done with the testing it was doing so I'm gonna install this EVGA cooler I have to find an AMD bracket for it but we're gonna install the EVGA CLC 240 in there which we've reviewed it should be online by the time this videos up and I'm trying to figure out where I want to put this so because I know this EDG is gonna be using CPU rendering for the most part that means it's gonna be a lot of heat coming in if I front mount this so it would be better for the CPU but GPUs are way more sensitive to an extra 5 degrees Celsius than CPUs are and there's so much cleaning take in this case anyway that we can get away with mounting this in the top and it'll probably it'll be better for everything like it'll be acceptable for sure for the CPU and it'll be way better for the GPU this is not gonna get a hot air blown into it for intake my only concern is clearance with the fans on here so I might end up mounting this inside of the top area I'm not sure if there's room for that but we're gonna check I think we can probably well the tubes are gonna be a problem though we can try a top mounted and see if there's enough clearance for the vrm in the memory it's gonna be pretty close oh man that is very close unfortunately the pan of the ass is that the fan headers here are never gonna be accessible again but we'll just plug these fans into those and that'll be fine it is gonna be like millimeters away from not clearing but it will clear that I'm within I am four brackets yes okay good is this gonna reach yes there we go maybe J is upside down like hey hey okay four for matching cap screws we can just manually spread it and we should be good to go from here okay that looks like it's gonna be good all right cool so now I guess I'll plug in the RGB thing so the upside to this one this cooler is that if you don't like the cable the extra cable in here that I just installed you can set it once and then it'll save the firmware and then you can just remove it after that so if CDG wants to turn the LED is off or on or whatever you can do it and then just open up the case remove that cable if he if he launched you think I wrap this under instead of over yeah yeah so install on OS do some benchmarks we'll do that for a part - I mean the OS install won't be in there but I'll do some benchmarks and then we'll send it out to them think you got everything so at this point I already got the I shouldn't touch the glass to set this flat okay all right all right so that's the build for now I need to install Windows do some tests on it and I think that will wrap it up so we'll have the test and part two which will be a little bit more limited but it's just gonna be some quick benchmarks power testing maybe a thermal test stuff like that we should be good to go on everything though so yeah check back for part two otherwise by the time you see the CDG you should hopefully have the system and hopefully it serves you well for whatever that program was called that I mentioned at the beginning of this video all right thank you for watching subscribe for more you go to patreon.com/scishow and axis if you'd like to join the discord community that put this together and that's all I'll see you all next time
