Project Gold Digger... It's DONE!

2019-01-30
yeah things changed again I got new merch it's available now crowd me calm /jc sense we got zip up hoodies we got tri-blend we got a new logo I digress since 2012 but the rest logo you guys been asking for that anyway well guys little bit uh we all kinda stuff zip up hoodies beanies polos don't take my word for it cuz obviously I can't do this edie so just look in the description below and you guys will find the link Thanks part two of the gold build went live and you guys had a lot of construction constructional criticisms constructed construction and you guys made some pretty good points and and I said in that video I was not happy with the way things were turning out with this build in fact I've spent the whole morning so far do you know what time is right now what time is right now oh yeah it's noon I spent the whole morning again focusing and hyper palpable how purple light had verbalizing hyperbole focusing very hard I've added by the boy I had a boy above it a boy but as you can see I moved those fittings that were on the top to the bottom of the radiator and move them on the back side closest to the motherboard tray so this is where the back of the case is right here and you can see it's a lot more hidden your focal attention is sort of brought to the reservoir and the gold coupler right here that's holding it to the radiator speaking of radiator you can see I switched it this is instead of being the 60 millimeter thick three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator from ek water blocks this is the cool stream cee that was it XE which stands for 60 mil thick this is the see II was like 45 mil thick or 40 mils somewhere around there and then the se is a slim which is the 30 mil thick so I've known with the 280 and we're gonna be using 140 millimeter fans on that we've got four or no five of these that are actually going in this case so we're gonna see how far we can get on this today maybe get some pipes bent and I also want to paint the shroud on this radiator this one's got a very rough texture to it which is why these aren't really scratches as much as it's picked up just well scratches but I digress so we can paint this and make it match and then it will definitely bring a lot more attention to the the gold aspects of the case a lot of you guys also commented on why there's so many different shades of gold happening well that's because for whatever reason every single brand that we've had a gold product sent to us has used a different tint of gold whatever as long as it's mostly gold I'm cool with it so yeah let's see how far we can actually get today we're gonna start by painting the radiator so a lot of people don't know this about ek water blocks is this is just a shroud on the core of the radiators alright so here's what it looks like obviously without the gold paint on there that's gold it was a new so I'm trying to figure out my tubing run now like I said this is my outlet from the pump and it doesn't necessarily need to have the double 90s on there I just stuck those on there for an idea but I've got to get from there to here on this side and what really would have made more sense is if I had flipped the block over 180 so if I come straight up from this fitting right here it's going to it the the tube will impact on the side here it's not offset enough so I'm gonna put this 45 on there with this 90 up like this so it sort of offsets that's why I keep a lot of these various angles on hand 45s 90s so with the 45 coming off of there and then using the double rotary 90 we can offset it from that and now we can come up and and do our thing as we need so I'm thinking this is just going to come straight out and go over and down you know if I don't say so myself so we gotta somehow figure out to get from all the way back there I lined it all up in the wrong fitting this one was supposed to go in that way so I think I'm gonna have to I think I'm gonna have to flip the block Hey it just went it just went yeah see it's okay barely cleared right there it's like 1 2 3 4 90 degree fittings but hey it works so I touched up the scratches it on that gold panel it goes in the back which means I have to take this all out now including the radiator to get it in there which means plenty of opportunity for me to screw this up in some way and one of the most common things I get comment wise when people see this anything it crosses over the RAM is well Jay how are you gonna change your RAM you don't need a lot of room to get RAM in and out I mean it's not it's not really that hard don't be afraid to run things over the top of your RAM as long as you have a few millimeters there to be able to lift it out of the socket you can then turn it and take it out so some people might be wondering chill why are you going with a 1600 watt power supply that's such overkill well the Titans are pretty power-hungry when you overclock them you're gonna get about 330 to 350 watts of power draw we also have a 79 80 X to the XE and here we plan on doing a little bit of overclocking with that will pull eight hundred seven hundred eight hundred by itself so if you do the math on that we're gonna be pulling under load over a thousand watts and it's also the reason why I say over a thousand watts you can't just add those numbers together because the CPU under 100 percent load the GPUs won't be because the CPU can't handle a GPU load if it's doing stuff the other reason is just the efficiency curve power supplies are most efficient around 50 60 percent and I want to just keep it as efficient as possible and let's be honest the next step down corn Odyssey is around the 1200 whattt mark and that's one make sure I have more than I need because the power supply is not gonna supply more than it's being drawn I've had a lot of people say gee you can't force 1,600 Watson now you're gonna blow it up like you can tell who's definitely never really played around with high-end hardware or understands how the electricity draw works it's only gonna pull what it needs so yeah but this is the EVGA 1600 t2 this is a titanium and all the cables that we used from cable wad are sleeved to this because it is a full modular they're just gonna plug in back here I do have to get out one molex cable though because I knew that the pump that I had got was a say two pump but if you remember at the start of this build I showed you guys how I end up having to switch to the DVC which is a molex means they'll use one ugly cable okay so we're officially at the point of well not really no return but definitely inconvenient return because I've taken the drives out of my workstation now upstairs this is just a 4 gigabyte I think yeah so it's a 4 terabyte drive at Seagate Barracuda Barracuda it's a Barracuda the storage that goes into this machine is going to matter as much this is a 960 gigabyte HyperX savage drive apparently I'm smarter than I thought because I thought I didn't order a molex but I did so once we get the power supply in here and then get the wiring all handled then we can fire it up I know the parts individually work the graphics cards we've tested the CPU we've used the RAM we've used in other builds the only thing I have not actually tested and did a boot test with on this is the motherboard and as much as I love Asus I've had some motherboard issues with them in the past that have caused me to literally pull hair out so my fingers are crossed on that so okay let's just get this all done and we'll come back when it's working I don't want to talk about it I got my flow backwards you have my flow backwards so you guys remember when I was like oh wait I did this tube long oh I'm an idiot no I was an idiot the second time not the first time the first time I thought I was an idiot I wasn't the idiot I'm the idiot now not the first time because I forgot we went out of the pump into the rad which means this needed to go into the in on the pump exactly as we thought it should and then I was like women I thought that was the out and so we filled it right now we're started to feel like we realized it's flowing backwards alright I fixed it now we can do the fill montage get it filled so we've got our 18 core 79 80 XE this is a 99 but it's the first gen 18 core and it is not soldered but it is deleted as you saw and we we've got a weird mix of thermal paste we've got kpx underneath the IHS and we've got MX 4 on top which is definitely not the way it should be but considering how many times we've had to take the block off I use the last of my kpx that I hadn't that too but anyway open anyone so whatever I have got hardware monitor up right now we are running at 4.5 on all cores and we're only running at 1.21 volts so it's not a whole lot of voltage but it is stable in fact we will go ahead and show you right now is cinnamon running point here your scores something to keep in mind - and look at this the package hits 81 82 but the chorus and then nothing ramps up it turns into a tornado sitting in the 60s and 70s on the core and our score 4438 but let's go ahead and do this so i'm gonna save that score let's load up some 3dmark and let's see what our 3d mark times by extreme score is okay so I keep getting crashes in the CPU part of 3d mark so I lowered it down to like 4/4 and anyway I didn't run the test again we've got to get this video edited and up for you guys I did did it I did it I want to show you something here these Titans are freaking hot low that we're idling up 44 degrees the top cards I'd only got 50 I mean there's plenty of air gap here for you no air to make it in there for it to pool and cool itself off it's just there's a lot of heat coming off the back plate of this card being picked up by that one the other thing too is these fans I'm going to change out these these 140s although they match the build perfectly because they are fractal design fans they're only 100 or 1000 rpm fans and they don't move a ton of air especially through the radiator and stuff on the front with the door closed and all of that just had some dialing in to do on the RAM overclock and obviously CPU voltages which takes longer than just clicking a couple buttons in a video like this and calling it done but what do you guys think of the build I think I'm gonna call this one gold digger because it would cost nearly ten thousand US dollars to build this on your own right now we've got five thousand and one hundred dollars because that's like $90 or $80 for the bridge so about 50 $100 worth of graphics cards two thousand dollars with the CPU we got the latest one anyway I think the motherboards like five hundred dollars another like five hundred dollars for the RAM and then all the water cooling gear and yeah it got expensive quick so anyway this is many workstation and I shall always be reminded of how much time it stole for me is why I'm calling gold digger I guess so there's a good tie into the name okay guys thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one where did they it's a radiator you ever seen a guy have a stroke on life a live-video dude that I am NOT an example to be used in terms of life as an expert did you imagine marrying this and then having babies stupid hey MA there's a gator in the house again damn it Jay just build the computer and stop having fun at work jump having fun these videos that I want to see shut up Phil actually do a crossfire bill hmm that was a close call sleep well my friends I forgot to put my hot pockets in the freezer they've been out for like two hours all right so all we had to do
