what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and big announcement actually you guys can finally buy my shirts so look in the description of today's video you guys will find a link to my store and yeah this helps me not to do things like patreon which I don't want to do so anyway yeah there's that the thread Ripper build is going forward and but I was waiting on some parts to be able to continue that obviously some water cooling stuff and I've been waiting for my ek water block just like you guys and I've got two of them here to take a look at we're gonna show you what is up with this right now though there's actually three versions of this I have two here so we have the nickel acetal so that's where it's all black on the top we've also got the nickel plexi which is where you can see inside and there's also the nickel nickel where it's like a metal top like I used to have on the old skunkworks I think old skunkworks head that or the testbench did one of them did anyway it doesn't matter but I've gone ahead and unbox them for a couple of reasons one I just gonna spare you the pain of watching me unbox something and - it's already put together for you there's nothing else in the box put the exception of some thermal paste and a little installation guide that's it because the other supremacy blocks that you guys are probably used to seeing they're Universal they can work with all the different intel sockets as well as all the different AM sockets from AMD with the exception of tr4 so these RTR for only which is why they're already assembled so you not to worry about changing out jet plates and float plates and all that stuff it's already put together and optimized even with the hardware and all the retention screws and nuts on there so you're not gonna lose it literally the easiest water block to install that I have ever seen now one of the reasons why I'm also doing a video on this not just because I'm gonna be using it but because I've seen some stuff on the Internet of people that were concerned about the way the block looks right obviously this is a square block and it's the exact same size as the traditional top when it comes to the ek supremacy but if you look on the bottom you can actually see it is indeed bigger they even had to put two stickers together so that shows you how much more surface area that it is but it's actually bigger on the bottom than the top now that's because we are dealing with tr4 which is also a much bigger socket so once you go ahead and come over here and let me take out these GPUs if you guys have been wondering what GPUs I'm going with in this build obviously we're using 210 ATT is was waiting on water blocks for those as well those should be here tomorrow actually so the build can commence very very soon but if you look at the size of thread ripper right here it's pretty big and you know what I'll be right back I have a good comparison for you so this is a perfect example of why they had to redo the plate this right here is an i-5 7600 K it's dirty but anyway there it is right there so you can see the traditional size was plenty big obviously right there is the coverage of that but they also had to cover the extreme lineup of CPUs from and also to the AMD like km3 stuff was also a lot bigger than this so there was plenty of room but the problem is now if you compare this to rise in you can see that's not big enough in fact even where the screws are you lose a little bit of cooling transfer right there so that was not going to cut it so this is what they've done it's not that much bigger but as you can see it gives you full coverage of Rison right there you see that right now one of the other discussions though that has taken place is regarding the proper thermal paste application I'm actually not going with nickel on my build here I'm actually going with black and I'm not gonna unveil the theme yet of my thread Ripper build I think it's gonna be pretty cool I hope anyway it does have a theme indeed and it kind of sucks as I took the cover off the plexi one because I'm not using it I better put it back cuz J is a dork now I think Steve with gamers next instead of video showing the different applications and what happens with the way it spreads out but ek is still recommending the dot method in the middle but they're recommending that we use about two rice grains normally I wouldn't argue with the manufacturer but based on what I saw in that video and the way that that actually spreads out I don't think I'm gonna do two rice grains but what I will go ahead and do now is I will do an application of the actual block itself tighten it down and then we'll see how well it spreads out and we'll do a two-part in one video two parts in one video now they've actually changed the thermal paste they're including what their CPUs they used to use like the guile I hear what it's called anyway but I use Arctic silver this is Arctic silver 5 so I'll be using this plus I have a lot more of it so we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and do the method that they recommend which is the in the middle 2 rice grains is that about 2 rice grains or is that about yeah it's about right yeah to breast-cancer okay there's this rice vary in size based on region so Honda versus what Toyota I don't know it only goes one way though you can see there's actually different spacing between the screws so it only goes one way do you just say Nissan so we're gonna tighten this down because these will only go so far and once the threads stop that's literally all the spread that you're gonna get I don't think this is enough thermal paste because remember there is technically two sets of dies under there so there's actually four spots under there that are very particular in cooling and because the heat spreader is designed to spread the heat across the actual IHS we want to get as much coverage on there as possible now one thing I want to note before I take this off is there is indeed going to be more spread over time especially as it heats up gets thinner and moves more but I want to see what the initial spread looks like I'm even gonna push on this a little bit I don't think it was enough line method I don't do drugs you ready say we got here yeah oh I didn't take the paper off hmm one thing worth pointing out that screw is actually not all the way down you see that that might be why didn't get enough spread this screw right here is not all the way down do you see that the feeling that's why we didn't get good spread even with the stick around cause it still would have spread is because actually we would probably got better spread because that takes up some space right so yeah check your blocks ek what's up with that it's when you tighten that down it also looks slightly crooked I really hope they didn't cross thread that in there you can see that on camera right yeah using my alcohol so yeah do yourself a favor guys especially on these like the first runs of things check your screws make sure the recess all the way I'm almost positive that's why we didn't get good spread you don't want to see anything above the height of the actual base of the on the blocks I think we're good now take two so we'll do the dot method again forming a line method for the rice method we're gonna do the rice method we need a big spoiler you know what's also just as important though is also doing the alternate corner tightening method because it can't go any farther right it's spring-loaded Nesi I just it might spread out more that gets hot but that's the problem is that's not gonna cover all of it right even if it spreads out a little more as it gets hot that's still not enough I highly respect eks manual but I'm gonna do it my way I'm gonna do this very similar to how I do the GPU blocks I'm gonna do an X very thin X like this and then I'm going to do a line like that and I'm gonna do a dot dot I think this is good this will work show you guys well throwing stuff at your monitors like Jay doing it wrong you're doing it so wrong I could do this so much better but honestly you know what I'm what Jays official opinion is on thermal paste do it the way you're comfortable with not what I'm telling you to do I'm not telling you to do this I'm doing it I don't care what you do your computer it's stuck down pretty good though yeah see I I think I trust that because look at how far it's spread on its own and as it gets hot it'll move in more but the other method to that Steve did was like the four lines so I'm gonna go ahead and Oh with the four lines like Stephen did this is this is kind of like uncharted territory almost I mean it's funny how suddenly everyone argues about the right way to do thermal paste and suddenly a new block and chip comes along they're like nobody knows also too it's like all-in-one coolers like the the ACE of tech stuff is gonna come close to covering this that's what I'm gonna go with I'm gonna leave it like that I don't want to waste any more thermal paste as you guys can see i with the black block because we're trying to make this there's a theme and I said there's a theme with this it all makes sense when we actually do the build but yeah it's gonna look good I've got the blocks coming for this these GPUs tomorrow so this bill will be able to actually continue and I need to get the screws to hold these these cards in there is a lock do you think look good I mean it's good alright guys so there it is a pretty simple video today just showing you guys the water blocks for tr4 go and check them out EK water blocks calm or ekw be calm and you guys can also check out again my store down the description of today's video on where to buy these shirts because they're awesome this one's a little bit big on me but whatever it was a prototype alright guys thanks for watching and as always I'll see you in the next one you
