hey what's going on guys I am Jay with Jays two cents and this is part two of project red mist or aka project overkill or just project jealousy I think project jealousy would have probably been a more appropriate name because I am jealous of what you see behind you and it's just barely started to come together and it's not too late for me to to take this and run away to Mexico and live like a king is it you know I mean he I mean he doesn't know where I live he'll think alright guys so let's go ahead and talk about what's happened since part 1 part 1 if you recall was an introductory video of all the parts that we're going to be using in project red mist now what I did first besides just obviously doing her bench testing and making sure everything worked was we went ahead and installed all of the water blocks that we're going to need to put on all of the parts now as I mentioned we are doing the motherboard full cover water block here from ek for the motherboards at South Bridge and the vrm cooler as well as water cooling the graphics cards the GTX 780 T is now I want to talk about something real quick with the 780 t is since the 295x2 from AMD has launched which is going to be their competitor to nvidia x' titans E or Titans dupit however you want to say that I guess would be a more appropriate name these cards were already purchased before that card was even teased guys so a lot of you well I would say a lot but some of you were certainly like hey why didn't you go with the you know the 295x2 they didn't make a whole lot of sense well you know I'm not convinced that even if we had known about the card at the time this build was being put together I don't think we would have gone with it I have never personally had good experience with dual GPU cards over two separate cards in SLI and whereas this may bench slightly lower on the benchmarks compared to you know what's already been shown on some of these benchmarks with the 295x2 this this looks a whole lot cooler it just having one card with a full cover block on there whether it be a dual card or not just doesn't look as cool as two cards so I mean come on let's face it part of this project is this isn't a practical bill there's nothing practical about this so I just wanted to address that but what we did as I mentioned already was we got the blocks on all of our parts and got them bench tested to make sure all the RAM modules work CPU works and the graphics card work so what we're going to do next is I'm pretty much just going to tell you what I'm planning on doing next part of that of this build and to do that we need to kind of we need to get a little bit closer and I don't think you guys have a problem getting closer to this beast so let's go ahead and let's move on in come on don't be shy just see you in the back stop pushing you'll get up here just relax we're all going to have our turn single-file let's let's get a little closer now what I think strikes all of us immediately when we take a look at this thing is just how much room there is in here for activities the guy that I'm building this for actually said he needed a place to park his car and I think that in here would actually be a perfect dual purpose case you know this SMA 8 from case labs is a perfect place to house your computer and a garage a separate detached garage from your house so so as you can see we've got the GTX 780 s here with their full cover blocks on there sexy as hell with that back plate our Dominator Ram looks really really good the aluminum is a little out of place I'm debating doing something custom with this I just haven't made up my mind yet on that but we'll figure it out later we've got the ek supremacy block on there I had some questions because of some stuff I put up on Instagram that you guys should be following by the ways I put a lot of the build stuff that is happening up on Instagram actually they asked why I was still using the stock block on this well this this is not the stock block what you see here is a plastic cover as part of the thermal shield that is part of ASUS Maximus six full cover here so that's just a plastic decorative piece that is over the block which I removed why did I remove the block that was already built in well it was an aluminum block and I'm not happy with we I don't like mixing aluminum in my loops you have a hard time finding any sort of diehard water cooler who's willing to put aluminum mixed in with any other metals in their loop it's just not a good idea regardless of what anyone will tell you that is the way I feel and that is never going to change so with all of this space over here I'm trying to decide how I want to mount the reservoirs I mean here are the reservoirs is about to knock them over right there now I could do what everybody does which is putting them you know side by side like this nice and spaced out probably probably about right there even with the top of the motherboard or maybe even space might a little bit more to fill in that space but what I can't decide I want to do is if I want to mount the pump directly under them like everyone seems to do or if I want to hide the pumps away down in the basement I'm a little more inclined to doing the the pump here up on top where it's visible the only problem with that is that because of the way the pumps get really close to this mid plate here it's going to be it's gonna be impossible to adjust the speed once it's mounted and when you're flushing the system it's a lot easier to speed it up and slow down speed it up and slow it down when you're actually bleeding and filling the system so not entirely sure how I want to go about that yet now the nice thing about the ek multi rez is you can see here the res x3 is you've got all kinds of ports on there to use so no matter what we're covered on what we need to do but it's going to look really slick especially when you have white coolant and red coolant in these side-by-side now one thing I did encounter that I didn't really I mean I knew about it I didn't think too much about it but I've got to figure out how I want to handle this is the Southbridge block is right here in between both of the graphics cards and this is going to be a different loop from the graphics cards so I have to figure out how I'm going to do this I mean I don't know if I want to bring the tubes up and over and down into the mid plate and then have them come back out somewhere else or if I just kind of want to bend them up over and around squared and have a nice you know squared because all the bends I want I want the bends to be square I don't want them to be like 45s I want them to be nice and square because that just looks bad considering everything in this case is square so I have not determined how I'm best going to handle this part right here obviously we'll figure that out together as we do this build lock the other complication with that is if I bring it up and over the RAM it's got to come open over high enough and then down into the CPU block to where you can still get to the RAM and replace it if you need to now there's not going to be anything practical about replacing parts in this build when it comes to the the tubing because there's nothing practical about having water cooling parts anyway when it comes to replacing like one of these graphics cards took a or the CPU took a or the motherboard no matter what you're going to have to take it all apart to get it out that's a downside of water cooling and you just have to learn to live with that so that's where we are with this build so far and you know I the next thing I'm going to tackle is probably get the lower radiator assembly together get the drain ports in and it's it's now time to do a lot of planning planning is key when it comes to these types of builds because you don't want to take the time to do something and just have to start all over that takes a toll on your your time your pocketbook and your morale with the build and when you're dealing with high-end parts like this you don't want to have any mistakes so what do you guys think should I put the res right here side by side I mean I could do them front and back like that but then one res is going to be blocking the other which is going to have all this empty space that'll look silly because we do have the extra large window on here that is pretty much the whole thing is the window not sure I want to do it I'm really I really am leaning towards this I thought about maybe doing them staggered like that and having the pumps down below but I'm just not sure what would you guys do nice and even would you do it staggered somehow I mean we could technically even if we wanted do these sideways and bring the acrylic tubing however we want because that's the cool thing about these multi reza's is we can do them however we want as long as the level is above the port so we could even do it like like that if we wanted so I just can't make up my mind I'm gonna get on out of here guys if you want to talk about this bill take it to Twitter or the forum over at JC sense comm or take it right here in the comments if you like but with that said I'm going to get the hell on here and as always see you guys on social media and I'll see you in my next video
