Jay Vlog - Flushing out Skunkworks and cleaning up the YouTube office!

2015-09-09
hey what's up guys J ste cents here and I'm gonna bring you a vlog that's something I haven't done in a while because I've got a lot of stuff to get done in this office and it's kind of getting in the way I've been getting very very frustrated I haven't been wanting to come in here or work because everything is just so discombobulated and thrown up and out of order if I decided that to get some work done today and kill two birds with one stone I would just do a blog and I think one of the very last vlogs I did other than the skunkworks blogs was the upgrade last year when I guided this room and painted it so let's just go ahead and have a kind of a day in the life of although it's not a very typical day gigabytes flex display technology automatically detects and connects up to four displays for the best gaming experience in multi display Ultra HD click the link in the description to find out more first things first you might notice that via own if you hear some background noise I like to catch up on youtuber videos when I'm actually working or I'm doing stuff in the office and this is a Nikki and John blogs and I met them at vlogger fair they're actually really really cool people they've got an awesome channel with a bunch of pranks and stuff plus their vlog channel so once you guys go and check them out pranksters in love is their channel name so the first order of business is kind of get this she'll figure it out because it's starting to sag and let me leave this this is a floating shelf from Ikea it was never meant to hold the weight of all of these GPUs and especially when guys like this 980 classified or the 980ti classified wares oh there it is stuff like that it's too heavy for that shelf so I got to figure out what I want to do with that but as you can see this room is absolutely a disaster it is just make it could be worse I guess but let me show you my problem here stuff just collects and collects and collects and I'll take an entire weekend and I will do the best I can to organize and I had this closet organized as can be that's all my water cleaning stuff over there I can't even get this door open right now because all this stuff in front of it but I have had this I don't know how many times have organized this and I've got all this stuff here this stuff here so this is the plot this is she's almost called it a closet so this is the hallway leading to the room and as you can see I've got another master five case right there they sent two of them but anyway so I've just got more stuff and stuff and some tools from working on the car this TV actually wasn't sent for review I won that during the weight loss competition I lost first place by like a half a percent whatever more stuff there so this is the garage right here I don't have much space in this garage because it's just a one car garage you see I've got stuff up here there's stuff behind here my bikes monitors and cases right there more boxes and stuff stuff up here on top I even have a storage shed and the whole back portion of that is computer stuff so I have to move a lot of it out here Pelican case with camera gear but over here you got Christmas decorations and baby stuff that I can't get rid of and this right here you may not be able to tell but it's actually several layers deep of computer cases and things so yeah we uh we've got a space issue here we Jake good boy who's a good boy this is max he's my rescue dog yeah good boy good boy cocky nuts yes yeah yeah it's a good boy he's a rescue he was abused and kicked and beaten and stuff and we got him about four years ago and he did get he trusts people again sorry that's gonna be some good and it's there Jade doing baby talk with your dog doing it can't be an inside dog though he refuses to house-train now I can hear you guys already saying stuff like that's not nearly as much as Linus has it's not matter of that one I have one bedroom in this house side allocated to the YouTube studio and I'm now overflowed into the hallway of overflowed into the garage and I've overflowed into the storage area and yeah and I've also only been full-time youtuber now for four months and I've only had product being sent to me now for review for a little over a year what what's gonna happen in the next few years I mean this is insane we'll just give it away guys I don't I can't just give away everything it doesn't work that way I do giveaways every now and then but pretty much everything I keep is going to be used at some point I think but space is a serious issue in this place and my goodness it's just now I guess the real solution here would be to pick my favorite video cards and put them on here typically after I'm done with review instead of putting it all back in the box I'll just stick it up here but you can as you saw there was just too many so I guess I'm gonna have to pick my favorites the problem is I love them all I just like yeah yeah I love you equally as my children how do you pick how do you choose your favorites well I guess if I'm going by weight the 390 is out the thing is massive so we'll start here with the we'll start with the MSI 980ti it is pretty I'd be a fool not to put the kingpin up there but man this thing is like twice the weight of the msi carton that I put that on there look at the shelf that alone moves the shelf by itself everything I see rhymes I still have to review this guy I've had this guy for a while actually but then the 980ti launched and they were like yeah you can do the review and you get a chance I'm still gonna do it because it's still relevant but that's the 90 classified kingpin and that's a 980ti keen pen on the 980ti they drop the classified designation and just what with kingpin so that's why some people saw this and we're like oh that's a classified but if you look at the back tada kingpin now the lightening needs to come over here because I'm still reviewing the light name currently in the process of doing my r9 390x hybrid from power color and then this guy is gonna be next in line and then we got this little guy hiding back here he's this video is probably gonna come out before the lightning video so we'll put the lightning right there and then yeah I was sleeping back there what would I be if I didn't have the Titan that was just floating around not being used sitting on the shelf yeah we'll do that keep these all nice and pretty just like that it's not a sagging too bad I don't think I think it's time I do something with this shelf maybe I'll take the extra GPUs and put them up there got pop caps and stuff for some linear blocks we've unblocked random dust batteries yeah I think there's some improvements we can make here there we go I think that is a whole lot better not to mention actually let's a little more light bounce in the room that's good who has noticed this already in the video no it is not leaking I just never topped it off after the bottom radiator filled because when radiators like this and not like this there's a lot more air that can get trapped in the top growth of the radiator has a lot more room to actually store air so this will take weeks sometimes months to actually completely bleed out but as you can see the color has changed again I don't know why the GPU loop keeps going dark the only thing I could think is the 560 rad the 280 rad have they were custom powder-coated or coated whatever they do into the radiator by hardware labs one thing I could think of some of that made its way into the color I don't know it's because I mean it's the same radiator up top it's just a 480 version but that one's not doing it so it could have something to do with the Titan blocks gonna have to do with the PW or the pawn material and the pomp of acetal material I don't know but this is the second time now so the other thing we're to do today is we're gonna take this apart I'm gonna show you guys how my flush system works and then we're gonna refill it hopefully it'll stop doing it well before we can do that we got to finish cleaning up this mess I've room to work tackling this pile right here just put the predator back in the box it's up to film a commercial for that a funny commercial and here's the fluid brand-new bottle in reused cube get rid of that junk one bottle is not enough to fill that whole loop though so yeah we'll worry about that might have to drain the CPU loop as well put the two together to dilute it a little bit and then put in some distilled water to dilute it slightly guess what to see what happens this guy here this is a little connects man that little J made for me she gave him a bazooka and then these are his bazooka rockets so that's why this guy's but on top of the computer because she gave it to me to put up their eyes knocked over the trashcan gg so I haven't decided I'm gonna do with this guy yeah I know it still has a lot of parts in there yeah some really nice parts I've just been chilling in there as you can see get this storm damage let's just truck my scope what good thing that thing is a pile of garbage anyway so yeah this actually has a lot of parts in there right now that's a 980ti with a water block just chillin mostly because I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet the cables look like garbage because they weren't meant for this build but then again I'm learning this case does not have a lot of room for you know cables so in the downsides of this case is there's not really any place to hide cables very well especially one with a I'll put that on later especially ones with long cables and that these are not long cables so let's figure that one out anyway we'll get this place in order and then we'll go tackle that when someone's blowing up my phone they really want my attention so recently I put up a video where I murdered murdered my as rock board by drilling into it by doing the predator 2:40 review and you guys were like well how does it compare to other coolers should we compare you know how about the 220 X or how about compared to the H 100 well I whoa that was about to be a mess okay that was a really close call trying to clean up and I would have gotten this all over the floor so first up that we're gonna compare it to H 100 I and we're also going to compare it to this protect 220 X so we are going to be doing some head-to-head competition between these two failures this one's got a lot of is that normal listen to that oh dear well the 220 ex isn't off to a very good start anyway and then the H 100 ISO will be putting those against the predator and seeing who is king of all in once I'm actually really curious as to what is rolling around in here because loose items are a quick way to damage things oh well all of the retention screws are just kind of chilling down there because there's a big-ass tear in the package all right someone's learning to walk and in doing so she continues to get stuck on the table she said help me don't just film this help man hey you want to be a faint you won't be famous in the comments no no no really it's not all it's cracked up to be kiddo so I still have to do the review of this guy - this is the GT Omega race or art cockpit and it's got the gaming rig I built it's just been sitting here like doing nothing this system is so nice yeah it's been doing nothing oh and this is baby Jail yeah you're gonna go in baby Jail get in there girl and your shits very concerned okay so allow me to reaffirm my love for my horas gaming my Thunder gaming mat once again you see how tore up this thing looks I mean seriously this this just looks kind of nasty right my kid has been slobbering on that these scratches are all from her taking mater on my lap and she had like a CPU cover or whatever and she was like and she was like scratching it real bad you know babies so anyway all you I do take some invisible glass or any glass thing er this is just glass cleaner keyboard clicking spray so tip the glass cleaner and seriously just spray spray I was like oh my god this thing was working if I just spray it on and then take a microfiber cloth or a cotton cloth or anything and then just start wiping it down I'm not sure what material this is but it comes clean with glass cleaner and will look good as new I mean it's freaking amazing and it saves your desk because these desks would look worse than they already do if I didn't have one of these and when all is said and done that's what it looks like there's a little bit of where here from where the mouse is but other than that you see how nicely that came back okay so this is realistically about as organisation's kind of get and I think it's a big improvement over what we had I just left that out because I don't know what to do yet with that build but yeah everything looks pretty good if you ask me about the GPU shelves situated I still think I need to put some supports on that thing because it's pretty bad it's leaning quite a bit it worries me actually so you can see with the lights off just how much the colors changed actually in both loops the CPU hoop is looking kind of dark as well in any case time to do some maintenance because that is ugly oof looks like someone took a diarrhea in my loop so I know you guys have probably seen it but I've got this second table that I keep underneath that one that I pull out and do my builds on so a little tip for you IKEA tables are adjustable on height so you can adjust one lower and slide it under the other one keep it out of the way protip all right so here's the back side of skunkworks and this is my drain valve right here it's just a tea valve here from bits power when the valves going that way it's closed when the valve is going go parallel with the loop it's open you can't see it but back inside off the radiator i have a junction block where I've got this tube coming off with the drain and it's at the lowest part of the loop that's the biggest thing you need to know when you do a drain it's got to be at the lowest point of the loop so what I'll do is I'll unthread this I'll thread in a tube with a fitting and run that to a bottle and then when I open up the up at the top and open up the reservoir air can come in and then when I turn that valve the water or the coolant will just run out so keep that in mind if you're doing your drains you can use a tee you can use tubing to a fitting like this to be able to drain your system it just has to be the lowest point of the loop or it won't drain anything below it so that's the color of the stuff that came out of the GPU loop it's got to be flux but it's already been flushed once and it's doing it again so I don't understand why this has happened technically it's been flush twice now if you wanna know the truth so I don't know why it keeps changing color like this it could be some sort of a chemical reaction between the metals and the coolant but that doesn't make sense because I have the same coolant and the same metals in that loop and it didn't do it so it's something to do with one of these lower radiators it's probably flux but hey whatever alright so we're gonna go ahead and drain the CPU loop to because I'm gonna mix the new coolant and that coolant together that way they'll be the exact same shade and and add the distilled water to it together otherwise they won't match because that was older than the new ones gonna be so that's a little trick we're gonna mix them together so that the color identical and that's the fresh fluid mix all ready to go nice and bright so we mixed it all together well not the old fluid from the GPU loop we took some of the fluid from the CPU loop brand-new bottle and distilled water made our new premix here so there we go we'll put it in will bleed the CPU loop and then we'll do the GPU loop and hopefully it'll be done it's a never-ending project I swear now in order to bleed it I just use a second power supply over here that's plugged directly into the pumps that way I have to power on the system so when I turn on the power supply you can see that the pumps will run but gotta turn it off because that one's gonna be dry don't let the pumps go dry like that that's kind of a neat effect out there look at that the air making its way out so mesmerizing it's gonna take a little while for this thing that completely bleed and make the pump stops sounding noisy with little micro bubbles in there turning it on and off and shaking it around that all helps but if you gonna shake it make sure you plug up the holes on the top there so I'm gonna get some lunch and we'll let this thing run so this is what it's like to be the wife of a youtuber we watched knit we watched Netflix and chill all day hey do you want to do wanna Netflix and chill sure why not anyway guys I guess that wraps this one up let me know if you guys want to see me do more of these blog e type videos I think it's kind of fun because allows me to get work done while still creating content for you guys because there's a lot there's a lot of times a video might get skipped or not make it out because it turns out that I had other things I had to get done so I couldn't get to the video but if those other things are interesting then maybe I'll try and vlog it and now that I've got this Sony you know a x-33 camera with that glorious 1080p 60fps it's technically a 4k camera but I don't see any point in vlogging in 4k to be honest I figure then we'll the maybe we'll do more vlogging type stuff you know get out and about and start doing things worth vlogging vloggerfair really made me want to revive the blog channel I haven't gotten around to it yet but yeah it's definitely made me want to revive it and becoming friends with John from John and Nikki vlogs or pranksters in love makes me want to start maybe pranking the wife I accomplished something today and made a video at the same time so with that time to get on out of here guys thanks for watching and we will definitely see you in the next one I'll see me for sure
