welcome back to harbor unboxed ever had one of those days where you have plenty of work to do but you just can't you up there doing any of it thankfully I really have those days but today is one of them I just wasn't enjoying working on the video that I had planned for today just couldn't be bothered doing it thankfully I have been rescued from myself I had a knock on the door just a moment ago and today's delivery I included three rather large very heavy packages and the words EK were on them that's just what I have been waiting for if you recall this big hunk of a computer case landed on my desk back in May when we checked out course as 1000d and the plane at the time was to deck it out top to bottom with a liquid cooling gear and as you can see that hasn't happened yet between now and then I've been flat out with the day-to-day operations the channel events like Computex that popped up and took up a bit of our time and of course I have to keep Tim in line so just all the usual stuff so I haven't revisited the coffee Ripper build yes that's what I named it if you missed the video because it does have a 1950 X and an 8700 K in there so yeah pretty interesting too and one system that anyway timing couldn't be better on this one as I said I've been dragging my feet all morning I just couldn't get into it just yet couldn't bring myself to do as mint to be doing but with all these liquid cooling bits rocking up I've sort of got a bit excited to check those out so I thought rather than do what I meant to do today let's open up these boxes and check out all the gear that ek has set me because it looks like there's a lot of gear think rather than pile all this one to the desk at once we're just going to go through them one by one so we'll start with this one here sort of a long ish very heavy box so there could be a few radiators in here fingers crossed let's have a look I'm not gonna do my usual silly unboxing thing or I tip things out of boxes because all this stuff is far too heavy expensive and yeah you don't really want to be banging up your new water-cooling here so we'll be very careful with this sort of stuff okay we've got a lot of fittings on top put them down one of those one of those and one of these all right I don't think we will go over all the fittings that I have here because it looks like there's a lot of fittings I might provide some close-up shots of said fittings but yeah of course I'll mix them all up here so that I have to go searching through them all to find what I need when I go to build yeah a huge assortment here of fitting so they look quite nice shiny good quality fittings can't wait to try them out so we have a little red box here and this is the pump combo the ekx top of rivo d5 pwm pump however quickly or that this should be one of two pumps that will be going in the system okay so pretty pump like typical sort of pump for these kind of builds so yeah that's gonna do the job nicely okay I think we need to go into much more detail on that one just yet I'll try and repackage all this stuff so it doesn't get all mixed up okay well if that was the pump this is very likely the reservoir EK res x3 400 so probably a 400 mil long radiator is will be found in here so there we go there is one of what I believe will probably be two radiators I'm not quite sure what's been sent but that looks really nice and that will fit in there perfectly so hopefully we'll have two of them so hour by side filled with some type of liquid I'm not sure what liquid we have we'll probably find out before the end of this video so a bit of mounting gear a couple of fittings and whatnot and it also includes this cool little ek acrylic bit that you can put in the bottom so if we unscrew that that should just clip in like so and there you go so that should look pretty cool not sure if what configuration I'll go with there but we'll find out at a later date I'll put this back in so we don't scuff it all up okay next up what do we have here we've got two of these now the ek cool stream XE 480 millimeter so that would be a quad 120 millimeter fan radiator so two of these will be on the front of this case let's have a look at one of them we probably don't need to unbox both of them so I'll move one that can stay there for now so these are what made up the bulk of the weight of that package they're very heavy very thick radiators and obviously very long so in the package we get some allen keys and some screws I'm planning on getting Corsair to send over another batch of their ml series fans and buy another batch I mean another I think we're gonna go with 8 or 10 of the 120 millimeter fans and then another three of the 140 millimeter fans so yeah a lot more fans going because we gonna have a push-pull configuration every radiator not sure if we can see this on camera but they're gonna go in they'll probably be going in that away and like that and it'll be another four fans on the other side of the radiator pulling sucking the air through it and then this little hard drive enclosure thing will be removed so yeah cool-looking radiator very big very heavy and should keep my thread Ripper CPU very cool okay so that is box number one down let's go on to box number two okay plenty more gear in this box to go through we have the other reservoir which I was expecting to get so we have two of those so that is great that's gonna look amazing in there we have just fold my knife away so I don't accidentally lose any fingers actually I'll just get everything out of the box first and we'll go over everything that we have here the second pump same as the first one it it will be used in one of the loops it's gonna be two loops one for one of the systems or possibly the GPUs I don't really worked at how I'm going to configure it but we're going to have at least two graphics cards to cool and two CPUs for so yeah it'll be hanging one of the loops moving right along okay got some nice stuff here alright well let's start with we'll start with the block for the 8700 K build now for the 8700 K portion of the build we have the ek supremacy Evo RGB water block and this has RGB lighting and all kinds of nice stuff as the name suggests included in the kits a nice little tube there a thermal grizzly so I will use that and then underneath here we have the backplate for mounting the block obviously and then the block itself so it's got an acrylic top cover if I can get it out of the plastic so there we go hopefully you can see that quite well yeah looks really good it's gonna look amazing a lit up though possibly right got to see it that well behind the graphics card which is a bit of a shame but anyway I'll get some good shots of it in action so you will be able to at least see it yeah I imagine that's going to look pretty cool I'm not sure what liquid will be flowing through it but whatever liquid will be fine flowing through it I'm not sure what liquid will be flowing through it but whatever we have you'll definitely be able to see it and hopefully it does the RGB effects justice and then on the back we have a nice nickel plated copper base now for the next water block for the thread Ripper build and this is a mono block again with some RGB effects or whatever we have the MSI X 399 a carbon pro AC I believe it is in there and I won't be upgrading that board or anything like that for thread Ripper - we'll just stick with the 1950 X as the sort of show system and this will be the water block which goes over the giant thread Ripper CPU so we've got great coverage there and then it also covers the motherboards of erm so that will be oriented in that direction has thread Ripper written up the side there which will be RGB backlit yeah I think that looks pretty awesome the base plate on it's so large they had to use two please remove before you stickers so yeah good stuff looks like it'll be pretty easy to install as wave we've got these spring-loaded screws that are already fitted to the block so you just put that down screw them in and you should be away so you're very keen to get that set up it's gonna look fantastic alright again you get some thermal grizzly and all the necessary bits and bobs for screwing it down but that is a fantastic looking one over lock that one then going in the very top of the case on those three 140 millimeter fans we have the ek cool stream seee 420 and that is a triple 140 millimeter fan or radiator Oh quick look at that so it's a little bit thinner than the other two radios going the front but there you have it so that will be going up in the top probably around that way but I haven't worked any of that out yet but it'll be going up there and then there'll be another three 140 millimeter fans underneath pushing here up through the radiator that's likely how we configured anyway again I haven't thought all this through yet I've only just got all the bits and pieces as you can see but I draft at what I would need to do the build or probably a bit more than roughly bit anyway then for the VGA blocks we'll start with this one because this is for a Vega and we'll be putting a vague think 64 graphics card in on the thread Ripper system I can open this some reason I don't seem to be able to with that tearing apart there we go did it did it did it so we get some ek thermal paste in this one and again all the bits and pieces you'll need some thermal pads which will go on things like the vrm a modified backplate because an outline maybe a single slot card so you could change the back side of the card if you wanted to and then the star of the show the block so that matches the mono block for the 1950 ex really well on the MSI motherboard same sort of theme instead of saying thread refer that says Radeon so that's nice and again you can see all the liquid flowing through it and everything like that so that is going to look absolutely spectacular that will be sort of facing that way so you're like you'll be able to see the Radeon part fortunately won't be able to see the friendly locks that's a bit of a shame but still when we install on the card you'll be able to get a good look at it and it should look pretty awesome then I'm going to change up the GeForce graphics car we have here we have the MSI trio GTX 1080i at the moment and that card just has an incredible air cooler or on it's a really cool card and I do use that from for testing from time to time so I wanna be able to do that and whatever graphics card I do put in this hard tube build won't be coming out anytime soon so I'm just going to put one of the EFI cards I have I've got to 1080 Ti foundation graphics cards so I will be putting one of them in this build and it will have this block go on it and if I can get it out so similar sort of things that this is a Geforce version and as I said that I'll be going when I founders Edition at GT X 1080 Ti and that will be in full view so instead of having that MSI card they will have that there and I think that's going to look pretty awesome pretty awesome indeed well all this stuff from ek is a very very impressive running out of room a stack it then we have the last and biggest box of them all so I feel like we've got pretty much everything we just about need apart from tubes and whatnot but I've got most of the key components but maybe they're something I'm forgetting oh this is still heavy as well imma losing yeah I'm losing it there we go we're back okay hard tubes fewer those more boxes ah it looks like ek has provided some fans for this build so maybe I won't be using Corsair fans I'm not sure what's gonna happen there anyway we have some coolant which we will check out in a moment well that explains why this box was so much bigger than I was expecting because we have we have some fans we have some fans bear with me for a moment oh I can do it I can do it here we go yeah I felt so good all right so we have some PE t g tubing hopefully that's enough should be enough I'm not sure probably enough I always think I need more than I do and then I end up with a heap left over um okay probably know what they're doing so I'd say that's enough as long as I don't screw anything up they have a lot of confidence in me but I've done a few of these builds before and it hasn't been as much of a problem so should be fine fingers crossed okay so these are a bit of a surprise I was not expecting them to send a million and one fans right so ek did not tell me or if they did I'm sorry I missed it in the details but yeah I wasn't aware they were sending so many fans and they all of the 120-millimeter variety it's looking like it yep so we have what do we got here one two three four fourteen fifteen sixteen so we have 16 120 millimeter ek Vader evo RGB fans so these look pretty awesome actually I probably should take my on the box and have a good look at it I'll get some b-roll of them in action and put it in this video so at least you can see what they look like when they're all RG beat up okay so we've got a nice square black frame we've got the PWM power cable and then the RGB cable and then the fans themselves are clear so they should provide a pretty nice effect they're actually very similar to the Corsair ml fans that I'm currently using in the build yeah anyway I'm not sure what I will be doing there for the fan configuration I'll have to work that out but anyway thank you for saying the fans and if I don't use them in this bill they will definitely get used in other builds they won't be going to waste and yeah thank you very much and then we have cables and connectors for days I think this brands yield yield I've never actually used their stuff before I don't think anyway it doesn't matter we've got a heap of cables and adapters and and things that they are they're making in collaboration with ek for the ek yeah so I've certainly got everything I need to make this build happen there's no excuses now so I have got to get into this actually we haven't looked at the cooling yet so we got blood-red that sounds pretty cool it's a premix and we've got the clear cryo fuel so we've got two bottles of clear two bottles of red so that is going to go nicely red clear not sure work out what we're gonna do there but anyway I've got everything I need we've got coolants we've got troops we've got radios we've got pumps we've got blocks cables connectors fans it's going to happen I probably won't do the build this week this week coming because we have some thread Ripper 2nd gen testing to do on the channel so I'll be pretty bogged down with that you'll see a video on that soon though but yeah so plenty of things to do but I will get to this as soon as possible hopefully the following week I'll be able to start it'll probably be a 3 or 4 part series because there's obviously a lot of building to do and yeah it's gonna take me quite quite a few hours to get this thing done I want to do it properly and then once it's done it will be staying here on the set for quite some time so yeah keen to get into that this was just a quick unboxing video I hope you guys don't mind as I said I wasn't really in the mood to get you to the content I had planned but there'll be a video tomorrow and the day after and I'll get done what I meant to get done so that we've plenty of content to come anyway hope you guys enjoyed this unboxing you got to see all the stuff that will be going to that because a lot of you have been asking me when I'm doing the coffee Ripper build what's going in there when I'm gonna make it happen all that sort of stuff so now you sort of have your answer it's it's happening EK have come to the rescue they've provided all the bits and pieces I need now it's all on me to make it into an awesome looking build so we will do that shortly thank you for watching I'm your host Steve see you next time you
