The custom all AMD based PC! We need your help!

2019-02-15
all right so I said it in our review that I was going to do an AMD themed build around the Radeon seven very similar to how I did with the Titan RT X and the last like themed AMD build I've done was actually thread Ripper would you still see mmm it's still back there that was a showpiece man we put a lot of time and effort into that I don't know if I'm gonna go quite as extravagant with this one but I want you guys to be a part of this I kind of want some of the inspiration behind what you guys would do cuz I'm not the most creative person believe it or not most of the things that you see happen around here happened by accident or just because I'm stupid and didn't really think about it and it worked out in the end so that's why I need your guys's help now today's sponsor is cable mod and their new website builds GG we'll be taking this and kind of putting it up on there so basically builds GG if you're not aware is a new website where you can upload pictures of your build you can list out all the parts you can go and check out other people's builds and see what their inspiration and stuff is I mean this it's not the first web site of its kind but it's the first one for cable mod and the interesting part is they have regular competitions worried just by having systems up there and being registered user you can qualify for various cash prizes parts sponsored giveaways all sorts of stuff so it's free to sign up there's a link down the description below you guys can go and sign up and also follow along with this build because I'm gonna be taking the progress of this and putting it up there because each build also has its own comment section you can actually go in and make comments on the build so rather than commenting on this video with build ideas because as I said I'm gonna be reaching out and asking you guys what you would like to see this kind of turn into over time this is gonna be a multi-part er put the comments on the profile for this build not this video so it all stays in one neat orderly place so yeah well kind of I'm also putting skunk works up there we actually put the black or the gold and white build up there as well that was kind of like me testing it out and it's pretty cool it's also important to get as many people signed up on there as possible because the database will grow as more people enter parts and if their parts are not in the database you can add it and they'll verify it and all sorts of stuff so it it's kind of like a crowd-sourced AI only it's not artificial it's like actual intelligence now aesthetics aluminium it's hard to find bare aluminum pieces I mentioned it in another video I am a sucker for raw materials raw metal raw gold look raw aluminum wrought I just like the look of raw unrefined and unpolished and that's kind of what you sort of have here although it's sort of a bead blast on this cooler it's not brushed but you have some camford polished edges here or chamfered however they're called but cases that's hard because everyone's use a steel and they powder coat yeah so we've actually had this case sitting here in the studio for months coolermaster is pretty pissed I didn't use it so this is the perfect opportunity because this is an aluminum case okay so this is gonna be a little bit of a mini review on the SL 600 I have this thing like I don't like reviewing cases stand alone we are going to be reviewing a some cases around here like a new mesh fi we're gonna be taking a look at mesh my cue additives but I like to do builds with cases because that's how you truly get a sense of what's what that's how you truly figure out where the shortcomings are I mean we can look at it theoretically and be like yeah this and yeah that been tastes are building in it you may not find where the shortcomings are so tell me this wasn't the right case for this now you might be looking at this going but J solid panels and solid cases are terrible for airflow not when you got to 200 millimeter fans pulling an air from the bottom folks look at that so the design in terms of the cooling on this it's very similar to how heat rises right so you got two 200 millimeter fans on the bottom pulling air or pushing air up which is a natural rise of heat to go out the top which is why the top of this is nothing but one big vent you can take these 200 millimeter fans out if you want and then you can replace them obviously with fans on the bottom and put the radiator on this side so not that I want to use this guy because I think it's gonna be too big but yeah and the motherboard still fits maybe we'll use this guy so I think I'm gonna be using the X 470 crosshair hero motherboard I was really debating do I want to do thread Ripper or not and I think to truly showcase like where the value has always been is the rise n is what really forced Intel's hand at bringing more cores to mainstream going with rise in mainstream on the X 470 would just kind of be like paying respects to that achievement that AMD got so no AMD sponsor on this this is on me I swear I'm saying this out of my own B own my own little soft spot for AMD remember I started this channel with an AMD build so we're gonna be using this I think so if you want to know the full specs and stuff of this you're gonna have to go to the build GG website so you can see all of that rather than me listening it down here you can go there and check it out would you just look at it alright so let's just sort of start to get a little bit of a preliminary look at how it's gonna be alright so see if this looks like what's new let's take this in there like and that's before I've even really done anything so that could even mount like along the bottom that's kind of like a dope and like I said I could go with a thinner radiator still to give me more room here and with the power supply cuz the power supply mounts right here there's also a pump mount right there pump Mel here pump Mountain there so I could go with another like pump mounted I'm excited about the idea of doing a horizontal pump and reservoir like this I've never really done a horizontal one I've always kind of wanted to I've seen people do builds and I think they look really good when they're done I've just never personally done one of those so I think this is gonna look really good I'm probably gonna end up going also with a slim 360 for the top and the bottom so I'm just seeing like how much room I would have like if I'd mounted everything on the inside but I don't want to cover up like the vrm and stuff we still need some airflow over those so we don't want to necessarily like insulate them you know you mean so yeah I can take because I was gonna use these RGB Vardar fans because they move such a good amount of air and they're still fairly quiet so the fans will go up top radiator will go underneath which is good because we like I said we can't really pass the fittings through on this anyway because if I tilt this and show you there's no way to get the tubes through there so the fans have to go on the top side which kind of sucks cuz then the RGB aspect of the fans won't really be seen directly but they will kind of have some glow on the top because we're thinking red is the accident color we need with this black silver and red so I've had this velocity water block this AMD one because for whatever reason they sell them independently a Intel and AMD so I think I want to use this one I've not seen like a bare metal one not to mention would we wouldn't find an aluminum one anyway like they do have a full nickel but it's too shiny for this like I don't think that would work so well so one of the things that you can do to really tie a bill together obviously is custom sleeves now that's kind of how cable mods sort of started cable mine it's in their name most of the bills you see me do over the last year year and a half have been using their sleeves the gold built was cable bought the gold turned out absolutely beautiful so I don't have any others cables yeah I sell to order them samples we got samples right here ladies and gentlemen you want your samples we got two samples no it's not about the sample that they gave me here is they actually have the pro cord underneath it I don't you know this the color of the cable underneath will affect the way this leaving looks if it's a black cable it will look very different than if it's a white one like this and the pro light they use white cables I believe it much thicker gauge yeah but silver and red for sure the letters army guns or to make up for that right silver in red and then we'll play around with it on the configurator cable mod also has their online configurator and that's how I make all of my cables I go in there and I use their you tell it which cables you want 24 pin eight and EPS for feeding so this one's got an eight pin and a four pin so I've got to do both of those so yeah we'll play rather than on the configurator and then the cables that we create are the ones they make and ship to us so I think I'm gonna go ahead and install the block though I'd love to go farther on this build tonight today too but I can't because I don't have the radiators I need remember we went through that with the other one and then I ordered the wrong one again yep story of my life so I started kind of putting some of the aluminum pieces back together the nice thing about the tinted side panel is when you turn it off it kind of blacks out and then when you turn it on of course it'll light up so we'll be adding RGB lighting and stuff to this obviously there's some things I need to do this build I know you guys hate multi-part errs but I had no choice on this one I want you guys to be involved in it so please do me a favor go to the link in description below I mention it multiple times this is going up on builds GG and that's where the comments should be on ideas on how we should do this this particular bill now we have a pump mount here and a pump amount here nowhere is it big enough for the radiator or the reservoir so it's gonna have to go horizontal like this pretty sure I'm gonna get I'm gonna ditch this this is a 50 or 60 mil something like that I'm gonna go with the thin because I want to do one up top and one on the bottom so that'll give me two 360 rads which would be more than f cooling for a single rise n and our already on seven part of that too is I need to fill this area here with some tubing obviously this is this looks very bottom heavy which is good I mean that's gonna make it much more balanced and I'm glad I have the shorter reservoir for this guy here because it fits here perfectly I'm gonna also see if maybe simulated computers will send me one of their silver covers for the pump and I don't think I'd there's a way I can make an aluminum cover for this I kind of like they did with the wood one we did for post Malone I don't know what to see I know some people that make some custom stuff Joe I know you're watching text me I know more than one Joe so I'm probably get a few texts but anyway for the ramp - I think I'm gonna go with the Dominator series again because they have the silver tops that will all tie in we'll have some more silver right here and then of course with the custom cable mod cables the silver with red accent for sure maybe a single black I don't know mate Phil made a good point the black just disappears in here because it's so black with all of the black parts in here it'll just look like gaps rather than I think actually being able to tell that's some sort of a cable alright enough rambling you guys kind of saw the thought process that goes into when we do these builds and I'm really looking forward to seeing what ideas you guys have because I look at some of your user feedback and I look at some of your builds and it's like you guys give me credit of like this was my first attempt and you gave me the courage and a look at your build and it's like dude you're better than me what the hell the hell and of course once again a huge thank you to cable mod for sponsoring today's video and we will obviously document the process as we go on this and or even asked no it's not a giveaway this one's mine giving away that NZXT computer we talked about I won with the 28th ETI lightning Z in there that one dude when did we get a lake across the street that entire like construction lot is like water
