what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and who remembers this system right here I've started building this the end of last year and then finished it right around the time that we were doing the second video with post Malone which is like February and it has sat unused since then because I made a stupid mistake one that now requires me to take it completely apart and I'm not looking forward to it that's why high-end builds sometimes suck the new cooler master h 500 p mesh white provides maximum air flow sleek design and elegant tempered glass giving you the ultimate platform to show off your next build learn more about the new H 500 P by heading to Coolermaster calm so one of the reasons why this sucks is because I'm using this beautiful glass tubing right these are glass tubes in here if you guys haven't seen the bill blog on this system I'll try to remember to put a link in the description below but if I forget just look up D frame on my channel you guys will see this bill blog I fell in love with this frame because it looks a lot like a race car like roll cage I did glass tubing in this which looks great I got to mix up this reservoir a little bit better than that it's like totally separated because this has been sitting for months but if you guys remember when I did fractal Josh's custom build I forgot I didn't put the thermal pads on the block because it's the same motherboard on the monoblock up here on the VRMs in the right spot so not only are the VR M's not being touched and actively cooled by the thermal pad I'm afraid that where I put the pad is actually spacing the block off of the VRMs entirely which could end up causing a problem here so what do we have to do we have to drain it entirely because unfortunately and we'll show you here in a second unfortunately the opening on the back of the Inman motherboards is not big enough to allow me to take off the block without having to take the entire motherboard off of the motherboard tray which means that the drain the system remove the tubes complete pain in the ass so this is the back of the motherboard right here and you can see some of the screws for the block the other two are located down here behind the metal if anyone had just opened up this hole a little bit more it would have saved me a whole lot of time I'll say this though one of the things I really like about glass tubing is that there's so much more sturdy that's way more sturdy than anything that's ptg would there be so much more wobble it's very rigid I'm going to spare you guys the just I guess the torture of me just talking while I do this so when we go ahead and let Phil work some of his amazing magic and we just montage so it's finally done after months of not getting time to do this I can finally start enjoying this system so it's running right now heaven benchmark at 4k extreme tessellation ultra settings and the GPUs are running 43 and 44 Celsius respectively and they are running over between 90 fps and 120 fps in 4k depending on the scene that it's rendering temperatures are definitely looking good we ran OC CT our temperatures were in the mid-60s spiking into the high 70s low 80s during certain you know Hammer tests which is what they're designed to do which could be better obviously if I had deleted my 7900 X which I didn't but I'm not taking this back apart again that's like the third time all of this was to move that one stupid thermal pad because I didn't pay attention to what I was doing and fortunately I found out though on Josh's system before we shipped it and that's what made me realize like crap I did it wrong on my system too but we're fixed and we're up and running now which kind of leads me into this conversation about high-end systems like this and how once you do water cooling with rigid tubes and stuff it kind of sucks because there is definitely a give-and-take there there is definitely a sacrifice in terms of ease ability easiness easy Mac whatever it it's not easy to service the system when something goes wrong which is why when we built the server that I'm still got to get my raid card in and get the raid going which is why we went with an a IO and simple simple simple because servicing has to be of the utmost importance in a system like this once it's together and running I tend to not really mess with it too much like skunkworks hasn't been touched in over two years same exact setup no problems whatsoever but if you're a more of a beginner builder or even an intermediate builder then you probably would want to go with something that's a little bit more friendly in terms of servicing yeah rigid tubes or in this case glass tubes look great but man there is obviously you can't just unbolt your CPU block and swing it out of the way like you could with soft tubing or move your GPUs out of the way in fact there's been times with soft tubing I was able to take GPU block CPU block rate pump and everything out in one complete unit and set it aside work on the system and get it all back in without ever draining the loop obviously we can't do that with this so I mean but this is this is part of the fun for a guy like me and when I do these types of videos it usually gives people tons of ammunition and be like see that's why water cooling sucks that's why water cooling stupid it's why you shouldn't do it that that's probably true for you but not for me and plenty of people who share in my love and interest in water cooling and building systems like this so anyway I guess that's pretty much it I don't think I had the lighting done in this system when I finished it I think I put it all together but the lighting wasn't done yeah I show down social media so what we decided with is purple lighting on the fans because remember this is all RGB the fans are RGB the the motherboard is RGB because we are using blacklight and I love the way the green fluid the Nano fluid looks this is Mayhem's green fluid I do love the way it looks under black light it kind of brings me back to the early water cooling days where glow-in-the-dark black light UV alien was kind of the only options you had that in red which was actually pink it brings me back to that it feels very retro to me but because we are using the black lights which have a bit of a purple hue to them or actually they're not blacklight will call them UV light a triggers people when I say blacklight because it's not black when we use the UV light obviously it's got a purple glow so that's why we wanted the purple fans and the greens it's got a bit of a joker theme plus the green on the D frame but now that it's done I can finally take it home which means I can now take skunk works to the studio which I've been promising and I might do some sort of an update with that system I don't know I really know I got more systems than know what to do with again first road problems I'm not complaining but definitely I'm lucky I'm a lucky individual all right guys we're gonna go thanks for kind of coming along with us on this journey where I took an opportunity to get a video created out of work I had to do and something I've been putting off now for six months I believe it's been six months since I finished this built my road is depressing whatever I'm gonna go guys thanks for watching give us a follow on social media you'd see some behind the scenes stuff and know what videos are coming up plus you not to rely on YouTube's terrible notification system to know when a new video goes live so click Subscribe follow on Twitter and you'll always be up to date on what I'm doing here on the channel alright guys we'll see you in the next one oh no what hit 42 and 43 they're overheating out the far cry from our 15 Celsius setup far cry 5
