a lot of you guys have been asking gee when are you gonna finish the gold build well I refuse to let this turn in to the new post Malone build where it's where's the bill where's the bill where's the build so we're gonna see how far we can get today I'm not a hundred percent positive we're gonna get done but I just really hate for this to turn into a three parter but I digress we're gonna see how far we can get today because we have limited time and limited skill to get it done today's video sponsored by Nordby pn a service i've used for years and highly recommend you don't want people spying on your internet connection I mean that's regardless or you do anything important you're not up there why I let people spy on your information you know the biggest offender at spying on you is your ISP they want to slow you down and throttle your connection regardless of the speed you pay for because they shave your Internet traffic well start shaping your own by encrypting it and using Nord VPN and when thousands of servers and over 61 countries we regardless of where you are you can get connected fast and secure and you can start taking that internet security serious by saving seventy five percent off a three year membership and getting a month for free by using offer code J's two cents at checkout so stick it to your ISP and start surfing securely by using Nord VPN and again 75 percent off at three-year membership that brings it down to like $2.99 a month that's less than a cup of coffee it's coffee more important than your internet that's the question there's a link down below each part clearly so I'm gonna show you guys some of the parts and stuff that we've gotten going in here there's one Titan card in there and now I'll call it t-rex that's what video calls it I guess we've also got the other one sitting here in the box I wanna I want to address some of the comments on this build a lot of suggestions people had one I think the most common suggestion JJ you should totally check out the RGB royal ram as if we didn't already have it we've had this ram since before it launched just didn't know what I was gonna do with it I was like I never built a gold PC before and then the t-rex came out and I was like well obviously that is the right use case for this rim so we've obviously got that picked up a couple of 860 Evo's these aren't even technically for this build I just got it they're one terabyte drives I'll probably an nvme in here if I have any more otherwise we can add that after-the-fact motherboard we picked up the X 299 deluxe too so this is the the second version of the original deluxe that came out because Asus has kind of done like sort of a generational refresh of this so it's a it's not an evolutionary change it's more of a way not revolutionary evolutionary whatever it's a minor upgrade apparently it can have them handle a 79 80 X II which is a 16 core or 18 core 32 math I'd originally planned on using my 16 core from my workstation upstairs but then I remembered we have that deleted 79 80 XE why don't I just use that let's also talk about some of the water cooling parts and how even a water cooling expert such as myself can make stupid mistakes like for instance ordering the wrong radiator that's going to be way too thick now yes this is a XC 360 cool stream XD XD stands for extreme edition and this would of course fit in the front of the case the problem is once you in add fan thickness and then you add my reservoir combo which I want to mount to it I then don't have enough room to clear the back of the graphics cards so I'm probably gonna end up using a different radiator that I have in stock because the extreme is 60 millimeters thick that's with three C's seriously it's like easily a/c / 20 mil and there's 60 so 20 times 3 is 60 so if I were to can even get this in there add 25 more millimeters for the fan thickness which would I want to put the fans on the inside there pushes it out to about there we might end up having enough room for it because there's one way to find out speaking of combo we're using D 5 this is the photon 170 from excess PC glass reservoir I love these the other comments some people said was J why don't you just water cool the graphics cards because as soon as I pull this cooler off of here there's no more gold the entire theme of this build is based on the gold t-rex so I'm leaving the coolers on here for multiple reasons one that way I can take them out easily if I want to use them to beat Steve and two there our theme so yeah let's just kind of see how far we get we stopped a montage just enough of that crap so a lot of you guys always say j-just take us along for the ride talk about what you're doing don't just make beautiful montages and stuff well that's we're gonna do today because these builds no matter how much you plan or think you've planned things go wrong so this is the proton right proton it's called proton that's it Photon a couple things I don't like about it I've never really actually mounted this to the radiator like this is meant to be spaced properly to be mounted to the radiator but we learned and they're not gonna really have a choice here is that if you mount it to the rad it's not centered like they could have made it longer they could make that little piece longer there's no side-to-side adjustment on it at all as you can see it's like it can't slide this way I don't know why they didn't just make this part longer so that it would be centered in the radiator so my OCD is gonna be a little going crazy but that's not the only other thing one one of the things we've always complained about is like man why do people keep using molex mullux death to molex death to molex so where did the state aversion and I was like oh crap it's not sleeved that's okay I'll sleeve it oh well I can't deepen this now yes I could cut it sleeve it solder it and then all that but why why deal with all that so we're fortunate enough around here to where we have other parts laying around that we can use the other issue here is this just uses a it says excess PCB but it's a laying d5 pump any d5 is the same manufactured laying and they just put a different sticker on it this is the ugly retention ring that comes with all d5 basic pumps I think Swift tech was one of the first prints actually start using the D 5 and this is the ring that was used so that's obviously ugly in there this is more of a beauty build and I remembered that it had one of these protium covers from singularity computers so singularity sells this stuff including beautiful reservoirs and stuff which if I had more lead time before I ordered this stuff then I would probably gotten a protium kit like I used in my d5 in fact I'm gonna be taking the d5 build apart and I thought about gathering or salvaging out of there and putting it in this build but I just haven't taken it part yet so we're gonna be replacing this with this cap and we're gonna be replacing the pump entirely with one of my pwm D 5 pumps out of an EK reservoir so that's the nice thing about using anything that's laying d DC or d5 rather than some of the more proprietary like you know pumps to some of the certain brands is the fact that you can salvage them out of other parts and the reason why I'm using this one is because it is sleeves getting all two like lineups can be a little bit of a pain of the night I'm an expert guys so this is what you spend a lot of time doing no matter how many systems you've built how many water cooling runs you've made any rigid tubes you've bent you have to spend a lot of time just kind of looking at it and imagining how it's gonna look and right now I've got to think about the fact that I've got tubes that are gonna be coming out of this a drain port I've got a deal with and then part of me is like do I just want to go with a thinner rig ready to right now it's got a 30 mil I think a single 30 mil would be fine for a semi not a TXE because it's the only thing that's gonna be in the loop not overclocking it very far either maybe like 4.2 this was provided by cable mod I went onto their cable configurator websites and I chose the colors and stuff that I wanted and actually went with paracord not a PVC sleeving or whatever it's called they told me the color gold I wanted would not have basically worked with the nylon but this oh my God look at this freakin money do that and there and I mean their paracord but they can still be trained so and then I also got like on the PSU cables and stuff for like the 8 pin power and all that we went with White's aluminium cable combs so those are actually metal cable comes on there so that gold turned out so much better this is honestly the first time I opened it as you guys saw I just trusted that everything was perfect and I think this is a really good gold between our paint and gold and the color of the t-rex on there so you can see I know I cannot wait to get these in there that's just just look at that what you just look at it so this is what I've come up with like the third or fourth time I've come up with something for this build the issue stems from we get again from the fact that I went with way too thick of a radiator on accident if I'd gotten the standard 40 mil then we wouldn't have had nearly as much of a problem and now I had to actually come up with a solution so I've got my alpha cool radiator with my Corsair fans on here which are white RGB and then I've got an ek X res on here with RGB which we're just gonna set to white which will actually illuminate the reservoir which will look neat it'll kind of put some light in that empty area of the kit or the kit that the case three drools recently and then this is just gonna go down to the pump which is gonna be down below it like this which will then go out to the rest of the system so yeah this is a little bit weird technically but it's all we got it's the only thing we can do to make it work either that or I postponed this build even farther I don't know if I want to and I may still change this but this is the problem that's why some of the builds that I do take so long so what I do now is I got to change the top out back to this top and that way I can plumb up fittings because we're at least we're gonna be able to go from the rad right to the top of the reservoir and then out of the reservoir into the pump so that at least takes care of kind of this area of it I would love to be able to just use a pump down here as a reservoir combo but that's not working with the amount of space that I have technically and I don't have a d5 version of the protium which I would love to use so you can kind of see how this works out worst case scenario we order or go buy what we need and we continue it another day either way we're gonna continue another day because it's not going to be done today there is no way no way nohow that's what we done today all right so this is what we got so far as you can see I put in all the cable so you can kind of see all the gold sort of tying in we have the gold cape of fittings here from primo chill but you're not too happy with there's a lot of silver showing through it's a very light dusting of gold and they're not consistent like all the fittings in the package have a different color consistency to them so I might end up painting those myself but the gold ran the gold cables and hectic is that we even have gold static Able's for this I like gold can I paint this yoohoo gold so yeah this is how it is how it's turning out in the south overall gonna look so I've got a lot of cable comes on these cables for a couple reasons one because they are paracord the sleeving themselves are not going to help keep it into position so usually paracord flops around a little bit more too because we are using the pro cables on the the sleeving kit here from cable mod it's a thicker cable which means that we can still train it so I've got all of these here sort of training the cables in the position I want them to be in don't know if I'm gonna run these back to the motherboard tray or just go through this hole right here the pump is down in here now Phil can see it so I'll be able to rotate the pump this way because it's just going straight down to the top of the pump for the inlet from the reservoir and then I can use these two fittings one of them's an out and I can just use a 90 have it come straight up and then out here into the CPU and then from the CPU to the radiator those are the only two runs I'm going to have to do so that's where I'm gonna be ending part two and yeah part three is gonna be filling it turning it on doing some benchmarks and all that stuff usually I do these builds and learning about benchmarking them because I kind of adopt the mindset tough well if you want to know how tight necks that's not tight neck so when our tier X performs an SLI we'll go watch a t-rex that's a lie video but might as well do it for you in this one Rd late at 79 ad XE we already know it's gonna do fairly decently we lap that because it was not perfectly flat we also left the block because it wasn't perfectly flat so hopefully we'll see some decent performance but it's time to go I've spent all day literally I'm putting together a reservoir and a motherboard and phil has been so nice perfect employee is to point that out alright guys I'm gonna go thanks for watching we'll see you in the next one recently 1600 watt power supply and this one too how's the audio right now oh I wouldn't walk over here you might want to walk that way doo-doo-doo-doo the year dude
