now that I've had my coffee we can actually begin today's video is brought to you by mass drop the largest community commerce platform in the world and right now they have an awesome drop going on the dxracer tank series TV 29 chair that supports gamers up to 6 foot 7 inches and 450 pounds and the great news is mass drop and dxracer always have drops going so be sure to click the link below to learn more about the dxracer chairs currently available at mass drop welcome here guys to part 2 of project red mist and if you guys have not seen part one check it out you can watch it right here and if you have not it's gonna be a little card that pops out you guys can click it if you're on desktop otherwise I'll try to remember to put the links in the description if you're watching it on mobile but anyway there is a playlist as well for the original build I did on this system nearly two years ago showing the z87 build we did and so you guys can get an idea of the parts as they were versus what is new and what's going into this update or upgrade or whatever you will notice as a client build guys it's not a giveaway is anything like that this is not my computer getting a lot of questions people ask me if I'm giving this away I mean that's really no I don't know how far I'm gonna get today and I'll talk about why at the end of this video because there's a little bit of a snag not like a parts compatibility or anything like that well I'm gonna talk about this a little bit more in the end of the video but all I have planned today is to get the GPU blocks installed on the three 980ti is that can take a little while you know when you have to do back plates and all of the heat pads and make sure everything is installed properly all the 980 eyes have already been tested we did that in part one so we made sure they all worked remember guys test your hardware before you start water cooling anything that way you know there's Pro there's a problem before you get it all built because trust me it's a pain in the ass taking it all apart but I wanted to get started on some of the wiring and stuff but unfortunately I'm still waiting on what the custom sleeve cables can't go anywhere do anything without that and I wanted to get started on the tubing but I can't and I'll talk about why again at the end of this video so with that said I'm gonna go ahead and do some fancy-schmancy camerawork here hope or semi schmancy I mean let's be honest it's just me filming it I'm not I'm not like Demetri or anything let's go get the water blocks on the EVGA 980 TI z' and let's let's talk about why we can't go any farther yet on this bill now that all the blocks are installed I always make sure to test the cards again that way I can make sure there was nothing wrong with the installation of the block and I know that this is freaking some people out right now like wait a minute you have the system on and there's no water in the block Jerry what the hell's wrong with you oh my god well I showed this once in the skunkworks build and I want to go ahead and show it again that Maxwell is so efficient you can run the system as you can see right now the graphics cards at 39c with no water no heatsink just the block touching it so there's no fins or anything and no air flow like I mean there's some air touching the back of the of the heats or the back plate on the back jeez I couldn't think we're sitting there the back plate on the back is there but there's no water in there there's no air no nothing and as you can see we are chilling at at 39c oh we just hit 40 as you can see here even with a browser going in the background which you guys know you really don't know Google Chrome uses GPU acceleration so it actually puts a little bit of the GPU under load even though it says zero it is using the GPU to render all of the videos and stuff like on YouTube and all these tabs I've got going here and even then you can see we don't have any sort of cooling issue so yes if you're putting water blocks on your Maxwell based cards I wouldn't necessarily try this with AMD I guess it could work but with Maxwell based cards you can see you can do a test to make sure everything's working and you can get to your desktop with there being absolutely no fluid whatsoever in your block I mentioned in the beginning in this video that there's gonna be some changes here that have kind of made it so that I can't really move too far forward and that being the fact that my fluid in skunk works is turning brown again and I'm not using pastel and I'm not even using Mayhem's fluid I'm using Mayhem's dye but the fluid that I'm using is actually the Primo chill clear you know I don't believe it's the fault of the clear and I don't believe it's the fault of the Mayhem's at this point the only common denominator in all of this when the color change issue started was when I switched to my nemesis radiators now I don't know if it's necessarily the fault of the Nemesis they've been cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and I can tell you that when I had the yellow in the previous built I wasn't getting color shift because I don't know I mean the the coolant was really hot so the GPU kept turning brown and now that I added the VRMs and the chipset and the CPU in the CPU LuPone skunkworks now lo and behold that GP or that CPU loop is getting hotter and it's now starting to turn brown and all of the years that I've been doing water cooling now 13 years I have never dealt with temp with fluids changing color like that and I've always water cooled my graphics cards and I've always water cooled them together with the CPU loop and the temps can get really hot especially in the AMD system I had temps got really hot with my 580 with only having a single 360 radiator again never had color shift issues whatsoever I'm the same fluid in my test bench in here and even had the night the 290 water-cooled cryo venom card from vision tech hooked up in there that fluid has not changed a single shade and not a bit of brown so I'm just going to go ahead and change the radiators in both systems and see what happens so that's why we're kind of stuck because I don't I'm not gonna do any of the bends and stuff because the radiator ports are slightly different on the location of the EK than they are with the the hardware labs radiators not to mention to the thicknesses of the EK radiators are a little bit different instead of being thirty like one is thirty eight and the other one it's like forty five so we are going to be going with you know look thicker radiator as well so until I get those radiators in I can't really move too far forward I'm gonna paint be SLI bridge white and remove the SLI sticker and then put it in the red the red J's to sense gel we're gonna call it and we're gonna see you know it's gonna look pretty good but the nice thing about this being anodized aluminum is if we don't like the white we can just use air craft remover and strip it and it won't affect the anodizing we can start all over I also need to do the glass tubing in between the cards right here and then I could also get these tubes between the reservoirs and the GPU kind of ready to go because we already know how far those have to go they're just right there anyway guys I hope this videos entertained you in some way I don't know I'm just kind of logging what we do with the system here and I will be fully documenting what is happening again with the fluid inside skunkworks anyway guys thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
