what's up guys James $0.02 here I'm gonna build a computer today I'm building a computer for my brother-in-law if you guys duck when I started this channel I'll be back in 2012 we had identical systems I had built my AMD 8120 FX system which had white tubing and all that you guys go back to my very first videos you'll see that well he had a matching system he liked my build so much he was like build me one too that's still the system he's using to this day let's just say it's not exactly getting the job done it has two gtx 680 s in it which is not terrible but i mean today you need more than two gigs of VRAM and is still running an 80 150 I think because I did 80 120 he had a 8 150 but I digress he's got a 128 gigabyte SSD and he's got a hard drive in there and he's got water cooling that has been running for have him here it's time for an upgrade so we actually are gonna be celebrating Christmas with him this Sunday a little bit late because of his work schedule so I thought how better to brighten up his holiday than to give him a brand new AMD rig I got new merch it's available now crowd me calm slash tasty sense we got zip up hoodies we got tri-blend we got a new logo I digress since 2012 it's like the rest logo you guys been asking for that anyway well guys live it up we hope kinds of zip up hoodies have beanies polos don't take my word for it cuz obviously I can't do this ad so just look in the description below and you guys will find the link Thanks so he's a huge fan of AMD I we talked about building him a system earlier this year and talked about budgets and this and that he's like well I've always stuck with AMD because I think they're a good value and obviously now they're not only a good value they're an amazing performance for that same value so we're gonna stick with AMD for him because that is just like I said what he likes so we got the 2700 X right here this is the highest end GPU can possibly get right now currently on the X 470 platform at least two after CES there might be something new and if it's backwards compatible with motherboards that will probably upgrade him in the after that launches anyway but this is the best you can get currently I'm using the Asus crosshair 7 hero Wi-Fi board I I have a lot of X 470 boards I could have used I'm specifically using this one because he currently has the crosshair five so it's literally gonna be like the 2018 or last couple days of 2018 version of what he has from 2012 so that's gonna be that's gonna be fun I'm using an EVGA 850 g3 supernova power supply with a black sleeve cable set for that more than enough power because of the parts that we're using and I'm kind of going all over the table here this right here is actually one of my Titan X's out of skunkworks remember one of these went in the editing rig well this is the other one and it's going into his he's always been a huge fan of skunkworks so I thought it'd be neat to give him a piece of history out of that build we are gonna be giving him a hyper x 960 gigabyte SSD no MDOT twos for this build because I honestly don't have any they're all gone so we can see about upgrading him as time goes on as well and in terms of storage but I'm also giving him a one terabyte Seagate Barracuda Drive he doesn't play a lot of games he's got his favorite games like Neverwinter and Battlefield and stuff like that so this should be more than enough storage to where he can actually put all the games he likes to play on the heart on the SSD anyways and put all his family photos and videos and stuff on the hard drive I'm gonna also have it rigged up so that we can add more storage later on as needed and for water cooling we're actually going with soft tubing because he loves the look of white tube yes I know I could have gotten white rigid tubing but we're gonna go with soft to me because we want to stick with ease of serviceability because we're me changing out the the hard or not the hard drive but the CPU and all that stuff I wanna be able to easily remove it and we're moving dead bugs I know someone said I was having mini-strokes I think I just proved their point you know the real reason why I'm using soft tubing though is he loves the look of white tube we've got it right here sort of just gravity sort of stretching it out because it's pretty coiled up but also I want to show that not like I get all these comments people like I want a water cooler I'm afraid to hardline it's like people have started thinking that hardline is the only thing you can do so we're gonna break that stigma today obviously we've got our ek supremacy Evo AMD water block it's an RGB block all of our compression fittings are reservoir pump combo which is sleeves thank goodness already we are going with dual three sent three hundred and sixty millimeter radiators because that's how we like to do we like to go with bigger than we need to one form alpha cool one fractal design this is actually a a disassembled Kelvin expandable AIO from fractal design but they actually use alpha cool radiators so that's why they're identical this one just says fractal design on it speaking of fractal design he said he wanted to go with the define s case the define s2 has launched since then not to mention it's gonna make this really easy to water cool in because I'm not just doing a build today I want to see how fast I can build this so we're gonna start a timer or at least Phil's gonna start a timer and I think periodically throughout the montage he should show a little bit of a progress of how long it's been and let's see how fast Jay can build a water-cooled rig oh I forgot to quickly talk about the memory g.skill Flair X because rise in and best memory you can get for risin let's do it I'm gonna be seeing that the whole time ahead alright so 2 hours and 48 minutes later and a big-ass mess and a coolant now that we're not happy with we're done notes are sitting at BIOS I know the parts work though because we've already uses motherboard in the CPU before we just realized that Green was the only coolant that I had I had any distilled water in here believe it or not none whatsoever so I used the green just to because I thought maybe it wouldn't look as bad as it does but because of the white tubes with the green it looks very wrong like it needs to be clear so now I've got to drain the system which I'm a drain in here I just drain it through the reservoir I'm bolt it and hanging out the side one of the roof nice things about soft tubing and then I have to flush it which won't take long it's fresh coolant and then Holly go get some water and put in clear but 2 hours and 48 minutes and as you can see we decided to also not go with the front radiator because there's no way out and make it look clean absolutely none the triple rad is plenty I'm surprised at how much air the NZXT fans move thrown know the truth there's a ton of air coming through here so I was worried they weren't gonna move like they're gonna be more airflow optimized but when they're all lit up and stuff it'll look kind of cool I mean that's the other thing too we could tie green in by making the huge shine green and then we have a green cane if we're gonna do that though we should have done black tubing so does we have black dipping too all right do we have motherboard lights yes we do power button yes look at the art look at the the reservoir I did an RGB reservoir Oh bubbles okay still going EQ memories past yeah hey two hours and 45 minutes isn't bad if you don't count the time it took me to drain the system but hey I hope the bald Arg bees you got the RGB up here which you know doesn't really do much because the radiators so offset it blocks a lot of light but everything looks good to me idling at a good temperature we can overclock this biatch both drives are showing up in the boot manager so that's perfect now I just need to get the OS installed and stuff so this is what happens when you have to get work done and make a video at the same time and make a computer for someone that you promised a computer for a long time ago so follow on social media if you guys want to see whether or not he likes I'll post a picture and embarrass him like I said Sunday this Sunday the 30th I think it is is warmer having our get-together with that side of the family so you guys can follow it at Jase two cents or an Instagram same thing at G's two cents guys thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one and for the record I could have built this in about an hour and a half if I didn't care about neatness or wire management or functionality you easily just we could have built another table one called it first boot but that I'm actually okay with presenting to someone as a gift they don't like it well then I'll cry
