Oh level up your gaming experience with the Corsair one small form-factor gaming pc featuring water-cooled intel seventh generation processors m2 nvme SSD support and liquid-cooled GTX 10 series GPUs to learn more just head to Corsair comm whether it is project symbiote is done I think this project took longer than any build I've ever done from conception to finish because I knew when thread Ripper was coming out but I was gonna do a custom build I told them I was gonna do a custom build at the SIGGRAPH event but before that I had already gotten this case and I was really kind of confused like how am I gonna use this case they didn't ask me if I would do a build in this case I requested this case because it was so different and so unique which really meant I had a clean slate and a canvas to start on typically you build in a case in a custom build it's just a big rectangle and if you put a bunch of stuff in there you try and come up with a theme usually it's just a color theme unless you're a modder then you do some really cool and fancy shit to the case but I was really kind of like how do I take a case with all these crazy angles and do a theme with it well we sat down we thought about it and symbiotes became sort of the theme because of the fluid that we're using a lot of people have misidentified this fluid on social media and you guys should be following on Twitter and Instagram and all that because pictures of the progress of the build of this and some sneak peeks were up there so definitely worth checking out but I'll let people have misidentified this fluid as Mayhem's arora and it's not it's not a copy of Mayhem's arora it's not even the same chemical makeup as aurora this is this is a very cool stuff right here and it's not out yet though this is the primo chill view and it should be out soon and one of the testers for this and we've been testing it three machines now checking for fallout checking for clogs checking for temperature changes and so far it's holding strong Nick your system still running the green one right everything's still good with that one it's been about a month well over a month to be running that so far the color hasn't changed and it hasn't fallen out or dropped whatsoever because there's nothing to fall out this stuff is not has no weight to it when you stop the build or you stop the pump from running it all just stops where it is and it doesn't flow backwards it doesn't fall there's no weight to it it's the trickiest thing you've ever seen so definitely keep your ears to the ground for when that fluids gonna come out so huge thank you to primo chill for sending that and letting us test it but obviously the star of this build is the loop right so performance - PC sponsored the loop they set me all the fittings and stuff that you see they sent me the blocks they also sent me the pump reservoir combo from excess PC and then primo chill sent me their new radiators which they custom power they are the Eskimo right xmo eczema radiators and their custom powder coated for this bill the same thing with the fittings the revolver fittings the tops Rob custom powder coated to match the gunmetal on the motherboard and the gunmetal that I painted on the case and so we've got all tied in nicely so huge shout out for those guys sending that and then the other stuff I already had like a and B sent the CPU and then already had the 90 or the 1080 TS keep saying nice guys we keep going back like a year and a half I do that why do I do that Nick eighties or you go back to voodoo ethics voodoo voodoo three go back to a voodoo three graphics card 16 megabytes but as I said the loop is the star of the show it looks very blue on camera trust me it's not blue it's silver and they're white LEDs it's just white LEDs always look blue on camera which makes the fluid look blue but it's not your eyes definitely see this differently that looks on camera I'm gonna probably changing out the LED strip I actually got this LED strip from autozone from like the automotive lighting section basically it's like the ricer aisle I got it out of there as lighting to hold me by it needs a warmer light though so we'll be playing around with that the loop was something I was really torn with and here's why because I started to bend all the tubes with a very traditional 45s and 90s and matched all the angles of the case the problem was it didn't complement it Nick and I were sitting there looking at it and I went you know what I've got this crazy idea because I had most of the loop already bent and done so what if I heat the tube the whole tube and I start twisting it and compressing it and stretching it and putting kinks in it and bulb and bulges and it started to look like like veins like like it's a biomechanical thing and so we started to play around with it and I started put some stuff up on Instagram and Twitter and immediately it was like getting shot down but I was like 50/50 it was like a love-hate and and that's fair because Nick and I both were looking at this going I don't know I don't know it's just we're trying to envision the final product based on only a couple of pieces that were contrasting the very the very abstract and very sharp like meticulous case that this is right all the angles are there for a reason they're placed for a very specific look we were going against that look we were going against the grain by coming up with these crazy bins and some people and so she made it got mad they're like that looks like crap and it looks like a bunch of failed bins which believe not those were harder to bend than any standard Bend for me I burned the hell out of my fingers too he's had to bend the whole tube the entire tube from end n had to be heated and I even had gloves and I'm still burning my hands because I was twisting and pushing and stretching and yanking and I was doing a lot of really well looks like suggestive stuff with it but that's what we ended up with and looks like a vein system right symbiote its infecting the computer and that's what we wanted so we went extremely against the case aesthetic with a very biomechanical looking interior where the inside almost looks like it's alive right you've got the conduit here what Nick calls a condo I call it split loom but whatever we've got a very almost matrix E looking to band stuff in there to where the inside of the case is just completely contrasted by the exterior and that tied it all in so we were having to just go okay we have to trust our vision we have to trust that it's gonna look the way we hope it's gonna look when it's done and once we filled it we were just like this was the right move this was you can see all of the fluid going through the tubes and all of the bends and kinks and bumps and and twists in there cause that fluid to make sudden jerky changes in direction which hurts flow a little bit but it makes the fluid really stand out in terms of that crazy effect that it has so I think it turned out really really good now obviously this is a thread Ripper based build so it's got a 1950 X overclocked to 4 gigahertz and the memory is running 3,000 megahertz couldn't get to go any faster unfortunately but I haven't done a lot of tweaking with it so there's maybe a whole nother follow up video about performance on this thing because I just haven't had a chance to do enough with it yet it's like 10 o'clock at night I still do all the b-roll for this video I still have to edit it and it's gonna be a long night but I think it turned out really well details all the way down to the sli bridge where we painted it gunmetal to match and then took out the guts and took out the green insert to make it glow white just a lot of little things I mean we even left the red on the motherboard because we think that almost looks like like the heart so there it is guys I'm not sure I would have done it any differently obviously there's a glass side panel that goes this and a huge thank you to cougar for sending me a special glass that I requested that was not etched with the giant cougar logo because I felt like that just would have taken away from this build so huge thank you for them being willing to take their logo off of the case for me so thank you guys for that but I think I think it turned out perfect in a very imperfect way right the insides just don't match the outsides and that's kind of like how we are as people right our guts don't look like our exterior unless you want to I don't know unless you've got an exoskeleton or some shit I'm tired I make no sense now do I so anyway I'm gonna be benchmarking this and doing a performance video on this so please sound off in the comments below and let me know what stuff you think I should be benchmarking with this obviously it's not a gaming chip we'll be doing gaming but it's not a gaming chip so I wouldn't be expecting this to like outperform an 8700 K or a 7700 K because it's not a gaming chip in fact you put on gaming mode you lose half your cores anyway but that's a like I said conversation for another video so I'm going to go again a huge thank you to the sponsors AMD Corsair Nvidia performance - pcs primo chill EK i mean cougar obviously we've cut a lot of people involved in this build and it turned out fantastic thanks for watching guys and as always I'll see you in the next one oh and buy my shirts
