Thermaltake The Tower 900: Kaby Lake Build [Part 1] Fridge Size PC!

2017-01-18
hey guys welcome back to harbor unboxed today I have a what I hope will be a pretty cool video for you guys basically as you know KB Lake was just released and although it wasn't super exciting it's still a really efficient really powerful platform especially if you pick up something like these 7700 K speaking of which I've grabbed a spare 7700 k processor and I plan to make a pretty special build with it I reached out to the good folks at thermaltake and told them that I plan to build let's just say a pretty epic a pretty epic build this time as some of you probably remember or hopefully remember not that long ago we did a really cool custom hard pipe liquid-cooled build with Thermaltake in their core Petrie chassis when they were releasing that chassis they wanted to do something pretty cool with it and we said you know let's do that build and they went for it and we have we put together a hell of a rig which we're still using today and very much loved it anyway KB Lakes here and we thought let's go bigger and hopefully better so yes Thermaltake has provided their new tower 900 case which we'll look at in a moment but they've also provided not one but two of their hard pipe what is it it's the Pacific RL 360 kit so we have not one but Oh quite heavy two of these so it'll be a dual loop system and yeah it's probably going to take a fair bit of time to put together but we're going to get started for this video we'll put all the parts because I'm not even 100 potential of everything that's going into it there is a lot of hardware but it's all worked out and been delivered so we'll get through it so yeah there's these two kits which you will have if you've watched the p3 build series you will have seen what's in these kits but basically at a three sixty millimeter radiator pump and a large reservoir three fans with fan controller number of fittings your hard tubes CPU water block and just all the stuff connect that and some some liquid so yeah we'll have we'll end up with two CPU blocks well I need one I'll quickly just go through it actually so we have a pair of these very thick three hundred and sixty millimeter radiators and they're going to go in either side of the case but look at that shortly I believe both kits come with the red liquid though we won't be using the red liquid for this build the color scheme will be I think black white and blue similar pump to what we used last time the Pacific W one water block which is different to the water block we used for the core piece rebuild this one isn't the acrylic block so not quite as flashy but still cool looking block and it will do the trick nicely you got something to jumpstart your power supply so you can test the loop without powering up all your components so nothing will be sure to do if there is a leak and we have a number of fittings easily the fittings that come in the kit I think then we'll take a provide a few extra fitting so we'll check that in a moment and a trio of their ring 120 millimeter RGB fans with the fan controller which will be somewhere in the package oh it's probably on the box actually anyway they're cool and some hard pipes so that will be useful when we get to building wonder if they're going to be long enough I've got a couple of longer ones somewhere we may have to use them because I don't know if they're going to be long enough for the tower 900 and when I rip this case out in a minute you'll see what I'm talking about so basically we've got double of everything you've just seen not not sure what's in this box it's very white looks like we just have this in here whatever this is these are the same TT mod sleeve cables that we use so the p3 bill so they're they're black and blue one so that will help finish the build off and have a smaller but much heavier box okay so we have very cool-looking white cooling here very cool another bottle of red which is interesting because I'm pretty sure I want to be using black and white I'm asked to double check my notes on that and then speak to Thermaltake ah they've actually upgraded this to the Pacific w3 block so I looked at the w1 block a moment ago it looks like we're using oh we are awesome we have the acrylic block which is what we use last time it looks very awesome so we won't be using this block yeah the nice eye acrylic block last time we stuck some clear LEDs underneath and I lit the block up and the liquid inside it and that looked really cool one of the coolest effects of the whole build actually to ask you more plugs they could be useful a couple more fittings and what do we have here are some 90 degree fitting well a lot a lot of 90 degree fittings but for a jeweler system we're probably going to need quite a few so as you can see we're using chrome fittings for this one and there's one of the 90 degree bends so here's a liquid I'm going to have to look into because I'm pretty sure we're meant to be using white and black and par the reason that is because this is the motherboard we'll be using for the build so this is gigabytes new horas brand z2 70 motherboard and it is easy to 70x gaming 7 as the box there yeah it's an awesome looking motherboard as what looks likes got some cool LED lighting between the DIMM slots there I believe there's some LED lighting below the PCI Express slots and some up here in the eye cover so yeah a very cool-looking motherboard and that'll be the center of our bills so the grand finale what this is going to be built in is the Tower 900 not enough you guys have seen or heard about this case yet the brand new case from thermaltake it's probably their biggest ever and yeah it's cool to the tower 900 we have the white or snow edition version of the case and the box weighs about 30 kilos I'll show you why in a minute when you see the size of it soaked up three thick tempered glass panels oh don't even think that will fit in the frame how about that if I managed to fit the whole thing in as you can see it is a massive taste what's a massive box but I presume the case inside is fairly large as well let's take it apart and find out so that there is the Tower 900 Oh see I'm gonna have to get a lot fitter if I plan on moving this thing around more in the future so he can buy two new zed 270 motherboard it's probably going to look quite small in there I think it'll be orientated something like that about there that I'm yeah plenty of room for expansion we shouldn't have any trouble at all fitting the dual loop system in there should be plenty of room to work I'm very very keen to see how it will look like done yeah this little bar fridge definitely makes for a very cool case but it's not something you want to want to be moving ever really but I just build it where you're going to put it and leave it there because yeah it's heavy I suppose if you remove the tempered glass panels that would reduce the weight significantly if you had to move it a lot but I can't even begin to imagine how heavy this thing is going to be once we have all the hardware inside and he's a liquid the radiators the pump graphics card hard drive the whole lot it is going to be nudging I reckon 50 kilos full so the interesting last row and weigh it so I will be documenting the whole build process but right now has to be honest I really have no idea how I'm going to route all the tubes and connect everything up yeah so I'll probably just play that one by you see how we go I'll probably do what we do with the Corp III build that is fit the motherboard the graphics card all the hardware and then work out you know we'll put the reservoir in the pump the radios all that sort of stuff and then sort of get start to visualize how I'm going to connect everything up and what will look best yeah that will probably be in the part two or three of this series so I'm not quite sure how many parts they'll be it really depends on how long it takes me to build this thing I really have no idea at this stage but we'll get into it and we'll see where we end up so with that I think we've had a good look at most the bits they'll still be well there's things like the memory not quite sure what I'll be using there just yet we also have the power supply probably using something around at 850 watt model there abouts we'll see then I have to pick SSD probably use something like the samsung 960 pro what else if we go work out then just some hard drives from the hard drive storage and then for the grammys color I won't be using the GTX 1080 or the Titan XP for this build I will be using just a lowly 1070 so we'll have to make do with that but I'm sure we sign and yeah I'm not really sure what the purpose or point of this build will be apart of the fact that it's just going to be awesome so what more do you need right anyway that's all for this one I expect an update with some build progress very shortly so I'll catch you guys next time see you
