what's up guys Jays too sincere and if you hear like lawnmowers and stuff in the background you'll have to forgive me apparently none the neighbors can get on the same page you'd use the same gardener on the same day everyone has different gardeners on different days and since is this gonna be sort of a blog you're just gonna have to deal with it because I am yes it has been two years since I built project red mist and that was one of the most badass over-the-top unnecessary size compensating builds I think I've ever done and that's what made it glorious and it's actually the build that led to the inspiration for skunk works that's why red mist and skunk works looks so similar well it's been 2 years now and the owners been chomping at the bit since I believe last September to actually get the system updated and that's what we're going to start today and yes it's going to be a series deal with it with its specifically tuned copper base and maintenance-free plug-and-play operation the EVGA 980ti hybrid offers ultra-fast gaming performance at the lowest temperatures possible click the link in the description for more details now as you might imagine there are tons and tons of little bits that are going into this machine and all I am showing here right now is just like you know the the main component tree if you will if I had all of the fittings and tubes and stuff laid out here it would seriously wouldn't have enough room anyway this is the SMA 8 case you guys know I love case labs this is actually the case that made me fall in love with the SMA 8 and it's what led to me getting one of my very own but yeah we are reusing that case including the custom acrylic bottom piece that I made with the pass-through fittings and all that stuff we'll talk about these guys I get a lot of question about these what are they and how do you find them well we'll talk about that at some point in this series now the motherboard is an EVGA x99 classified and yeah that's not new to the channel it's a brand new and though it's not my old one I still find it to be the absolute most stable motherboard for the x99 platform and I will always recommend this motherboard to anyone looking for a high-end stable x99 especially for a 59 60 X which is obviously what he has got where is the focus oh my god that's far away yeah so anyway 59 60 X I kind of feel bad for him though because it seems like every time he builds a machine something new comes out like for instance he dropped this off about a week ago and guess what as rock spilled the beans on yeah 10 core version sorry bro he's got 32 gigs of the Dominator platinum ddr4 going into this beast I mean know what speed it is it doesn't matter we'll find where it's table with our overclock his heart main drive is going to be he's adding a samsung 950 pro m2 Drive he doesn't want to go with any sort of raid or something has to worry about you know falling apart he's just want something super fast and obviously the 950 pro m2 is very fast and he's also got it's already mounted onto the back I'm just not gonna take it off for the sake of the video it is a three terabyte black drive now he's got three 980ti s SC editions from EVGA that are going in here we are going to be obviously ripping off the coolers and fully water cooling those with ek water blocks and back plates speaking of blocks ek supremacy Evo block is what we're putting on the CPU to keep it nice and cool and then we have also got these these in the same radiators I am which are the black ice nemesis GTS rads 480 rad for the CPU loop we are not doing a motherboard in this loop only because there are no blocks available for that and then 560 rad for the bottom and whereas I am using a 282 also keep the third tight next cool I didn't really change temperatures too much so he's just going with a single 560 and then keeping everything powered we have got the corsair ax 1500 i power supply now because we are doing a red white and black theme here i did happen to score for him some black or some red Dominator tops not black ones but red ones everyone's like why don't you just paint them well because I want them to say Dominator on top and there it is all right so you just saw me do two things and I want to go ahead and kind of address something that I know it's gonna be a bit deja vu and we've talked about it a million times in the past and that being J why are you using airflow fans on your radiator well it's a couple reasons for that one these are 140 millimeter fans on a five sixty millimeter radiator so obviously that means there are four 140 millimeter fans when this was built two years ago there were very very few options for high static pressure 140 millimeter fans and we wanted the fans to all match when it came to the ring we went the corsair fans quite honestly back then for aesthetics we lose a little bit of performance when it comes to using high pressure on the radiator so that kind of leads to the next question is since we've fast forward two years and there are now a lot of static pressure options for 140 millimeter fans why aren't I using those well quite honestly this is because of the fact that these have performed very very well not only for red mist but also for skunkworks it gets to the point to where the amount of surface area of the radiator becomes so big that the amount of static pressure doesn't really matter quite as much now no people are going to refute that rebuked that whatever the right word is they're gonna try and tell me I'm full of but the bottom line is performance numbers have always dictated that the cooling that in the 560 red and the fans that we're using at the speed that we use them are fine now the reality is there's not a lot of surface area that these fans are having to overcome and especially since we went from a low fpi 45 millimeter thick radiator down to a high fpi 30 millimeter thick radiator the hardware labs nemesis radiators have a very efficient fin design where it doesn't take a lot of static pressure to push air through there and I cannae Pig that with skunkworks which is why he's mimicking that here on this build because it's proved it's been proven that the performance is there even with the airflow fans now the other thing you saw was me putting on the red Dominator tops here for the Corsair memory and one thing I just kind of want to point out with this is I put on two of them backwards so that as you can see here they face what you can kind of see they face the opposite direction and the reason for that is since this is going into an X 99 board and there is memory on either side of the CPU and one side is upside down compared to the other we want all the logos to face the same direction so you just put those on backwards now if you're doing something like a mainstream motherboard which doesn't have quad channel then you could just put them on you know normal and then they'll face the right way regardless now we are gonna be doing glass tubing in this build and that was my suggestion he didn't want to do it after I did glass in the build which you can see right there not my Starbucks cup the fractal design nano s build ever since I did that I love glass and I will be putting glass in skunkworks in fact I'm gonna be changing the fluid and skunk works again we'll talk about that in another video about why I'm gonna do that but again it's all for the sake of science so we are going to be doing a PE TG build in this and then using those tubes for the proper links of getting all the glass cut we've got a lot of glass I've got like 30 sticks of glass now just to make sure I have more than enough for all these builds that I want to do all right so what I'm about to do here is just so full of blasphemy it's not even funny but it needs to be done so because you want to test all hardware whenever you're dealing with new parts you want to do a like a boot test to make sure everything works graphics card memory motherboard CPU power supply all that stuff so this is all the new components here this is one of the 980 is the 59 60 X is in there all four sticks of memory are in here and the ax 1500 I but because I don't have like a quick cooler that I can mount down on here I've only got these big behemoths that you have to assemble I took an old AMD brick right here now literally without Eve it doesn't even have thermal paste on there do as I say not as I do don't do this mount it down properly I'm literally gonna do a boot test with this push down like this holding my hand on there so it makes good contact just long enough to see if we get an image and a post so with that said the cool thing on here is this motherboard has a cue code readout so I can actually see what it's doing so it's scanning memory now that past's okay it's checking peripherals b2 alright so we're stuck on d7 but we have right here it took us right into the BIOS so the memory is or the PC is slowly getting hotter and hotter it's at 50 C right now so go ahead and turn that off but everything worked worked just long enough which is all I wanted alright I'm done for today I know it doesn't seem like I got a lot done but I really got more than enough done to get a good head start on this project we tested all the hardware make sure make sure it works we've apparently cut my finger right there don't even know how I did that ow isn't it funny how you can get cut and not realize it and not feel any pain until you see it and then suddenly your brain is like oh my god I'm cut I'm dying I wanted to get the graphics card blocks installed today but that didn't happen actually run out of time god we got to go get little Jake from school I got Jim she got Taekwondo and all that stuff but anyway the motherboard is installed the block is in there the RAM is swapped over with the new tops we got the new radiators in there let's see what else did we do oh the MDOT to drive is in there of course that's not very hard install it's literally one screw but I've basically done some planning and planning is the part that always takes the longest with these builds now as I said it is gonna be glass so we are gonna be doing PE TG first and then glass it's kind of a waste of PE TG but I'd rather waste that than the glass trust me but yeah that's pretty much it the next time around we'll start getting some of the loop together we'll get the graphics cards blocks put on and then it's really not gonna take that long to put this build together it's a lot more red in here now the original parts that he had I realized I forgot to mention what he's upgrading from he had to 780ti is in here as e87 maximus motherboard as well as a 4770k and 16 gigabytes of dominant corsair dominator ddr3 so it's a pretty good step up for him again it kind of sucks considering the new stuffs gonna be out fairly soon but whatever now I can hear a lot of you guys already saying like this build is so expensive it's so unnecessary blah blah blah yeah there's a lot of things that are unnecessary but then again that's part of what makes this an enthusiast build and makes it so much fun and like I said before he's a paramedic he works long hours for shitty pay and he's saved for a year to do this build it's his money not yours so he can do whatever he wants anyway guys time to get out of here thanks for watching wait for part 2 probably next week and as always thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
