good people how you doing you see I have a bit of a confession to make simply put I love stacking my CPU coolers so here's my be quiet selection with a dark rock pro 3 out this is for my rising system I have the h7 and now we have a little extra delivery from knock tour that will satisfy that obsession with stacking things but we'll use these for something a bit more important so if you guys recall this is the legion c 530 a nice portable gaming station you can check out that video right over here but the cool thing about this whole system is that you can upgrade anything without voiding your warranty now many of you are probably wondering why I'm going through this procedure in the first place you'd buy pre-built PC and then you want to upgrade those components but the whole idea is to showcase that you can upgrade things so if you have the system for a year and a half two years and want to upgrade something down the line it is a possibility I've had the system for six months now and upgrading your fans and you know the GPU doesn't sound like a bad idea and the overall purpose with this upgrade is to see how much quieter I can get a system to run by having a larger CPU cooler so maybe reducing the rpm on that fan and also replacing those stock fans with something of quality to knock to a 81 motor for the back and 292 motors for the front potentially also reducing the RPM of those and seeing how much cooler and quieter I can get my system to be now based on a Twitter poll we ran you guys wanted us to upgrade everything and I will except for the power supply so I am replacing the entire cooling system I'm adding dual channel RAM and also taking out the gtx 1050 ti4 gigabyte version and replacing it with a much more powerful gtx 1066 gig version and you can pick up these cards for round $280 brand new or around 200 if you're buying used and the additional money invested into this system will make a huge difference in gaming performance all right let's do the upgrade right for this so you're saying this is the most colorful way to cool I'm telling you the master liquid ml 360 our RGB is the way to go cooler masters new 360 millimeter all in one liquid cooler is all about performance in style with the custom low resistance radiator and dual chamber pump with sleeve tubing for that premium look while being totally flat the fan strike a balance for air pressure and airflow with transparent blades to perfectly match the colorful combination of the pump that you can sync via its own controller or through various addressable and 12-volt RGB connectors alright perhaps you should check it out in the scription below alright so I have all my components ready let's begin the teardown alright so here's the deal the entire procedure went pretty smooth and I'm surprised that there were no you know hidden little nooks for the panels like all the the back panel the front panel just removed with ease fans are not attached with any proprietary things and I still wish that they would release the case individually now internally we have pretty limited height for the CPU tower clearance less than a hundred millimeters until we hit the side panel which is why I opted for the l9 x 65 it's a pretty beefy heatsink with nice low-profile fan at only 65 millimeters with the fan in height which is awesome fits inside there no problem and the noise levels and the cooling capacity throughout this whole upgrade are pretty impressive now since my priority was to reduce the noise level of the system because the default fans were quite loud yeah check this out I'm so impressed at how much quieter the system now is both at idle and load situations that you know the system is currently running behind me it is an idle but it's almost sounding identical in load situations but it is super quiet and that makes me happy a slight hum is there and kind of like approaching the max Q territory for that 40 DB a noise floor awesome as for temperatures the CPU at load was running only 3 degrees Celsius cooler versus the default fan configure so that Delta is not really significant you're not gaining anything performance because the cpu all six cores running at three point four gigahertz and the thing is I cannot control the RPM of the fans there is no control in BIOS there's no utility software for this Legion PC so I kind of have to let the motherboard do its thing the CPU fan was running almost at 100% while the front fans running at 1600 rpm while they're rated at 2,000 fans and the back fan is a bit slow at 600 rpm and that little fan is rated for 2200 rpm so you could squeeze a bit more cooling out of this case and these fans but the motherboard doesn't allow it luckily we're not sacrificing on cooling and noise levels it's just that we have a lot more rpm potential built into here than what we're capable of achieving with this motherboard the GTX 1060 ran much harder but that is by design the 1050 T is are much cooler GPUs and also I've removed the shroud so that might have something to do with it but the blower style form factor here is important because it can exhaust the hot air from the GPU outside of the case which is important for such a small form factor now as for gaming performance obviously the GTX 960 is a massive upgrade over 1050 TI and FPS so at 1080p at high settings we're looking about 21% increase on quite champions in csgo over 60% in overwatch and far cry 5 and the crazy improvement in witcher 3 at the hundred and thirteen percent as for 1440p we're seeing the same result so only a 14% increase with csgo 35% in quake champions you know witcher 3 is over 100% again which is awesome and over watching far cry 5 are crazy in there like high 60 percentage improvement in fps now performance aside I really appreciate the entire user experience you know it's almost like making a case review and building it's something that is designed to be like a standalone enclosure you populate all your components in it terms of like accessing your your Hardware removing the side panels actually removing the motherboard so I can access the backplate for the CPU cooler and you didn't feel like any different it almost doesn't feel like a prebuilt system it almost feels like me upgrading something that I've built in the past and of course that is important for potential see 5:30 and c7 to the owners who might upgrade some hardware down the line and have that peace of mind and not be locked down to this like some sort of proprietary interior design and of course the warranty carries over to all the original components which is awesome so now the GTX stands 50 TI is out of there but yet I still have warranty for it which is great and so if you do get that base configuration for 850 bucks with a gtx 750ti you have a lot more performance that you can squeeze into this system down the line by upgrading the GPU to gtx 1060 maybe or 1070 because we have an 8 pin PCI connector for the power supply here so pretty happy with the performance increase and now I can potentially sell the 1050 t I do you know counteract that price difference between what I would spend on that additional GPU I also put a dual channel memory in here instead of the single dim 16 gigabyte kid on the default configuration but it's kind of wasteful because in the BIOS I cannot overclock the CPU nor the Bram so this Ram is rated for 3,200 megahertz but it's running the default 2666 megahertz so I'm losing a little bit of performance tears so I wouldn't upgrade the memory because you cannot overclock it and I'm pretty happy with this blanket upgrade replacing all the cooling and the GPU for a lot more power and games and runs so quiet than the default configuration which would look like over 54 DBA that was way too loud versus now that is what I'm happy with treat your ears with the incredibly comfortable HD 5/8 X Jubilee headphones from mass drop and some Heiser delivering sound expected from $500 headphones but only for a hundred 50 bucks making it one of the best price to performance scans available check out and join the drop down below alright guys
