what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and today we're gonna take a look at a pre-built system but not just any pre-built system this is what happens when you take a very enthusiast company with the modding community you get a mashup collaboration known as the ek fluid gaming X 600 series today we're to look specifically at the X 603 today's video is sponsored by master up in the Sun highs RPC 37 X professional-grade gaming headset Sennheiser is known for its legendary sound quality and now you can have the best of both worlds without compromising mic quality making it the perfect choice for gamers and professionals alike the detachable ten-foot cable and 3.5 millimeter plugs that share maximum compatibility while running your own amplifiers without taking up an additional USB slot to learn more about the sennheiser pc 37 X's for mass drop click the link in the description below but I'm wearing these gloves because this chassis if you guys watched my denver micro Center kind of a grand opening that we did and I did that build this is essentially the same thing but they were just launching it around that time so the idea here is that this is utilizing a chassis that was designed by dare power in conjunction with Lee and Lee well obviously talk about all that but back then the system was just starting to kind of make it into the retail space at least at micro Center because it's the only place you could actually get this system is that micro Center but I built one on stage and obviously when you get it it is already put together and built as you can see this is all packed up with insta pack but here it is the power spec X 603 but it utilizes the lien ly dynamic zero-one-one which was like I said a chassis that was designed in collaboration with their Bower world-class overclocker and mater and so obviously the cooling is a important one with this chassis you know there's three models you can choose from the X 601 602 and 603 now we're going to take a look at some of the different specs and stuff that you can get will go down the list here on the left what I found was and the reason why I didn't do it with micro Center is because micro Center is not available everywhere there's only 25 stores across the country whereas my Newegg does ship across the country and with Micro Center you can't buy things like CPUs and stuff and have them mailed to you so I kind of wanted to see how the price of this compares to say putting in a cart with like Amazon or new egg and what we found is especially for the 601 the pricing was extremely competitive in fact they advertise that you can get this system pre-built and sent to you because there's only those three specs like you can't customize it or have parts change it is what it is those are the three that's it is you can get it for not much more than the cost of an AIO but of course this is is using the fluid gaming system in here which is the aluminum all all aluminum pieces so no issues with gabbana corrosion but your CPU is water-cooled and your GPUs water-cooled see what else we get here inside of this little pouch these are all your extra unused cables because obviously it is a modular power supply power cable antennas because it is an Asus z3 90 Strix II rubber block not sure what that's for RGB extension cables extra screws that came with the case some plugs and all that stuff extra SATA cables suspect wise the ex 603 comes with an Intel 9700 K obviously Windows 10 Pro 64-bit this is the Strix z3 98 gaming motherboard I cut says system board and one kind of called it something to brown RTX 2080 PCIe graphics card 16 gigabytes of ddr4 ram now the picture shows g.skill trident zr GBS we'll see what's in here 500 gigabytes solid-state boot drive it's actually an nvme drive at least from what we found online I think it was a 750 watt power supply but we'll see when we actually get in there it's not showing here on the Box what it is but let's go ahead take a look at this and it does look like it's empty so we will be filling it so obviously that's how they're shipping it I was kind of wondering how they shipped these but they shipped them empty so that way they don't get damaged sorry tell so as you can see in terms of packing material - nice closed cell foam enough to make Linus kind of is all over himself alright so we I get the sense to pack out of here to do that is these two screws on the back if you've never seen a dynamic zero zero or zero one one this pulls off like this and the glass comes straight up like that so there is the inside and it's the pec hope everything is in place that is a perfectly sized sense to pack right there isn't it you ready see all the tubes are still on there would you look at that so it's got residue like water droplets in there because obviously they pre test these here comes the peel porn which apparently is a thing and I won't I won't say anything we'll just let them flow just let the might get this sound for fill so this also kind of goes in the same way like that so you have to take this off peel get to the fill port but you can see it's got these little grooves right here and they just fit into these little channels so you set the little tabs in the bottom and then you just slide it into place that's the way that the dynamic chassis works let's just kind of get right into filling it up I guess or kind of need to do that you don't want to run it without water alright so I'm about filling it real quick because the manual shows you here using a fill bottle like this which has a little tube that you can kind of push down in there I don't have one of these believe it or not I never have I probably should because it really helps with systems like this because we are filling in the distribution block this distribution block doubles as a reservoir as well you have two ports on here one of the top-left corner one on the bottom right corner so in the way it's sitting on its feet this would be the drain and this would be the fill air has to be able to come out because it's a sealed system it's not like there's another port over here which would have been fantastic if they had made just another port right here so you can crack this open and allow air out the water can't go in until the air comes out it's volume displacement and what you'll notice is that if see how it's kind of more warped going in there see how that just bubbled like that if you fill this all up one if you're not paying attention you're gonna overfill this too as the air comes out is a bubble and it kind of splashes so that's kind of sucky so if you had a bottle like they show in the picture here you can put the tube down in there and that's not sealed like this fitting is then that wouldn't be a problem but since I don't have that it's kind of a problem for me so I'm gonna try here right now is then doing this fitting which I think I just dribbled down the front and I'm gonna try to just kind of poke it my funnel in there which is not a euphemism I swear so if I do it like this and then I tilt the system back or they put something under the front to get it up higher then that should give me the desired effect that I'm looking for here there we go see now we can control the fill rate alright so here it is all pretty much assembled so the nice thing is the front manifold right here which also doubles as the reservoir is so this helps it bleed as you kind of saw normally when I fill a system I'll put the jumper on the power supply fill it turn on the power supply switch let just the pump run let it kind of fill the system fill it up do it a few times so there's no chance of running the CPU block dry which would be bad for the CPU now if any fluid is touching the block at all even a little bit even those tons of air it will help but we were kind of like we realized that as soon as i tilted it back and started filling it that as soon as the water got to about these top tubes right here or even this bottom one right here that air started pushing out and we saw the level going down and it was sort of filling up the tubes and the radiator so I kind of went wow maybe we don't need to actually fill this and use a jumper because there's no jumper included in this box which we thought was kind of strange because it's included with the with the kit the 240 kit in the 360 Khitan all that but it wasn't included with this so basically as long as you make sure that it's tilted back and you're filling this and you get as much of the air out as possible which will happen naturally air wants to be free doesn't want to be under pressure so as the water is filling air is being pushed out and even though it's only happening through one port as long as you don't seal it off with a tube and you use like a funnel or a squeeze bottle or something that fits down inside there and air can get out then it's a heck of a lot easier now the front manifold like I said not only serves as a nice aesthetic piece it's obviously very functional so all the bits connect to the manifold to the radiator both tubes to the manifold block to the manifold GPU to the manifold the only fans are in this system though so I'm really kind of curious as to how well this is going to perform are the exhaust fans on the top which are obviously 3ek Vardar RGB fans so the bottom is filtered it's a magnetic filter down down here as well we've kind of sliding it around there is it there it is so this sits down here magnetically so you are filtering air coming in so that's enough talking about it lets go ahead and fire it up let's get some benchmarks running to some temperatures and let's see what it's all about that's one thing I didn't get to see in Denver with I built it off it went and I didn't get to actually play with it so today we get to do that so I've had superposition running the 1080p extreme which case you're wondering is more stressful than 4k optimized we're sitting about 48 C right now and it's been running long enough to saturate the loop this is exactly I was as it was set out of the box I haven't touched it in the overclocks haven't touched any fan curves and the fan is fairly non aggressive in terms of the fan curve I get right next to it you still can't hear like the noise floor stuff yeah that's how quiet this is but this would definitely be one of those situations where is certainly acoustic optimized but as you can see still doing a fantastic job fantastic job with keeping it nice and cool while being quiet you can see we just hit 49 but also to the air conditioner in here turned off so that's going to go up and down a couple of degrees based on the ambient temperature here so if we go ahead and exit this test we can take a look at our chart right here 49 is where it sort of capped out you can see our CPU temperature obviously was not under any real load it was in the 40s because this loop is nice and hot right now what we're gonna do is we're going to go ahead and jump immediately into prime95 small so this is not a realistic situation in terms of how much heat your computer is gonna be generating but what will tell us is kind of what the maximum capacity of this system is going to be like core temps immediately shot to 81 82 70s 80 70 80 79 the fans have definitely kicked up vs. before so we're gonna do right now is we're gonna let this run for about 10 minutes see where the temperature sort of equalized and I think we'll see those temperatures come down as a whole blah blah blah well I didn't really change a whole lot actually the the loop here or the particular chord I got to 83 came down and has been bouncing between 80 and 81 now so a couple of degrees we're running at 4.6 gigahertz which is the you know all core turbo boost clock for the 9600 or 9700 K so everything's running pretty good here cores are all under load we were kind of wondering if maybe one of these cores my been throttling cuz the way it every now and then drops down like you see right there no the other cores did that so with the TVA max of 105 we are way under that even when we're doing a very unrealistic test that would never come anywhere close to what the actual you know main day-to-day usage is gonna be like so we run this one more time now with just blend which is kind of all of the above which would be a little bit more realistic tests so it's sitting in the 50s and 60s which is much more realistic obviously as you can see it has no problems whatsoever with with temperatures as I wouldn't have expected it to with a 9700 K and a single GPU with a 360 read I never did a review of the dynamic zero-one-one from Lee and Lee obviously the Dare Bauer edition I think they're all they're Bauer honest I think yep designed the case but EK water blocks obviously is handled all of the cooling for this chassis and all the assembly and stuff with their fluid gaming series like I said there's three models to this the X 601 602 and 603 this is clearly the 603 at the top of the line this is this is kind of the best we can get right now at least with the current hardware and the current year that we're in I kind of think that the best value though if you wanna know the truth is gonna be the X 601 because if you take a look at that the only thing that's different it's the same storage it's the same amount of RAM it's the same kind of RAM the g.skill and all that it has the same 500 gigabyte nvme SSD but you sacrificed the 20 and the 9700 K for 9600 K and you sacrifice the 28 II which is non TI for a 1070 TI and the price and I'll put the links down below for you guys to go and check out because the prices are always changing a stuff at least at the time of making this video if you live near a Micro Center or you want one shipped to you or whatever you can get the 601 for thirteen hundred and ninety nine dollars and I can tell you right now when I put all those parts in the cart at Amazon and Newegg I couldn't even match the price of this with an AI oh so that particular model is extremely a very good value of very compelling value so it's definitely worth checking out but obviously because that's running a Pascal card at 1070 TI that model will eventually be changing to what I don't know so if you can get one and you're looking for a water-cooled build that will look exactly like this for thirteen hundred ninety-nine bucks that's a hell of a deal once again a huge thank you to ek for sending this over and obviously micro Center as well for helping us and allowing us to do this review so if you guys want a system that is worthy of looking like it belongs in any sort of PCM our showcase with all the RGB goodness which of course you can use Ora to completely change the the scheme if you want and make it stop being rainbow puke you can do that and it's gonna look exactly like this and you can even tell your friends and your family like I built this I built this they won't know any different you said I'd built it who cares if you built it or not just tell people you did alright guys once again links are down below if you guys gonna learn more about this huge thank you to ek and micro Center for sponsoring today's video and as always we will see you guys in the net no salty crybabies anti-gravity this one comes with the tesseract fluid get triangle when your doctor walks in the exam room it goes all right let's get things started a doctor once tell me relax I want you to cut my finger off with there fuck fluid gaming
