what's up YouTube Jays two cents here and I figured since my office is a complete and utter disaster and it does not video ready for me to do any sort of presentation for you guys if I were to go ahead and do what is kind of the easy slash lazy route is I'm gonna go ahead and give you guys a vlog yep I'm gonna be that guy whether you're looking for a pump reservoir custom GPU block or a complete loop in a box ALPA cools wide range of products can make your next water cooling adventure an easy one click the link in the description for more details okay so this vlog isn't me specifically kind of like a starter prequel video to what's going to be the skunkworks update which I've been talking about for a while so there's the loop right there or the system you can see that it's turning more and more orange and I want to address something real quick a lot of people said well Jay you shouldn't be using tygon tubing with your with your pastel that's why it's turning that color that's my fault because I forgot to update the PC part picker with this where I removed but tygon which I had in here before and ended up going with the Primo chill LRT tubing so which is not a tygon base tube so it's it's still changing colors due to other things and it's happening to a lot of people so that's why I am changing the fluids but what I wanted to do today was one and show you just how freakin messy this off I know this doesn't look like a big mess to a lot of people I know it doesn't but to me it is I don't like clutter and it's driving me nuts but anyway what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna show you guys some of the parts that I've chosen we are changing a few things in the system again no I'm not going with four-way SLI I've thought about it I really really thought about it but now I'm not gonna do that so anyway let's look at the parts then I'm gonna be putting in here so the parts that started to arrive and nevermind that right there that is a mini ITX stuff that I'm kind of working on for someone else but these are just some of the parts that have arrived already you see I've got five liters of the primo chill PC cure which is a I'm gonna try this stuff out it's clear as you can see we're gonna be doing some mixing do that today we'll mix in some orange Mayhem's dye and we'll see how the color turns I'm one of those bottles it's one of the reasons why I have so much I can pour some of it out until like a water bottle put in some drops and see how it reacts to it we got a few more EK water blocks here gigabyte x99 SOC champion motherboard and i I tweeted out that this motherboard might not work for me because of the way that the pci-e configuration is we're basically the way this board works and let me take this out real quick for you guys okay so here it is right here as you can see obviously I won't with this board because of the orange theme it's also a fantastic overclocking motherboard it's got the features I wanted corrects a couple of things that I didn't like about the EVGA classified x99 still probably the most solid motherboard you can buy for x99 platform but I had a couple things I didn't like for instance as you can see right there that 90 degree u cable right there it puts a lot of stress on that plug with the way it's laid out in the case lapse case you can't really tell but it is being pushed up against that wall really hard the other thing is the way that the USB 3.0 is down there kind of comes off as a funky Bend because it points straight down and straight straight up it's it's pointing to where's my fingers pointing down that way instead of like coming at you so it's gonna correct some of that but one of the things to mention with this board and why I said on Twitter I probably wouldn't be able to use it but there gigabyte team did get back to me once the way that this is configured is it's PCI Express 1 which is direct connect to the CPU socket PCI Express 4 to 3 so the reason why they do that is 1 & 2 is spaced out like this so if you have standard air cooling cards and you have plenty of air gap in here so that you have good airflow for your cards so they actually include two 3-way SLI bridges with this motherboard and the reason why they do that is one is for the 5820k and the way it's allocated with PCI Express Lanes and then one is for 59 30 km 59 60 X and so if I was to do one up here and then down here down here with that gap that would look really stupid with the water cooling it wouldn't like look nice and evenly gapped like that is it would look terrible with this big gap here now in the manual it says if I was to do the top three that it would do 16 X 8 X 4 X and I'm going back that's not gonna work at all so I contacted gigabyte someone on Twitter I actually told me well no J actually should go 8 X 8 X 16 X the manual that I have doesn't say that I read it multiple times but I did ask gigabytes a technical team that did say it will go 8 8 6 so you were correct Sarah shout out to you good call on that and so I might lose a couple of percent of you know benchmarking performance by going 816 rather than having 16 PCIe 3 on the native pci express lane to the cpu but that's not a big deal this system is more about kind of show and just being really over the top and it is about breaking any records or any of them and going for record breaking so doesn't matter but it's got the headers that I want in the positions that I want them to be in and so the other thing that this motherboard had going for it is that we have a water block for it so I am gonna be including the South Bridge well actually the chipset not South Bridge smell a long time svet a South Bridge a North Ridge stuff going on here the chipset and the vrm the VR ends are going to be cooled on this motherboard now one of the things some people have said was you all J it it only has 4 memory slots well that's okay I never run 8 channels because or any channels but 8 DIMM is because when you're overclocking the more dims you add puts more stress on the memory controllers and it can actually reduce your maxover clocks and your memory speeds so having 4 is why gigabyte did this it's actually better for stable overclocking and that is what the SOC is meant for as you can see here I do also have it it's a pretty close match if you ask me look at the color on that that's a really close match these are special tops here for the RAM as you may have seen is already in this right there I've already played that in playing around some of the overclocking on the RAM of corsair dominator Platinum 32 gigabytes of it 3000 megahertz Ram so that's going in there but I mean putting these orange tops on there so they are going to also have some orange going on yep taking the orange theme very serious EK supremacy Evo block the reason for this as it's gonna look identical to that one it's that one is not an Evo it it's not actually it doesn't have the the ideal channeling in there for x99 and because that block has been around for a while and this has been out for a while the upgrade kit wasn't available so I just performance pcs sent me over a new block by the way all this stuff that you see here - the motherboard was sent by performance pcs so huge shout out to them they'll be getting quite a few shoutouts in this series there's probably gonna be several videos here yeah they've made that possible a few more fittings here to make sure that I have plenty of the revolver fittings here from prima chill for the rigid tubing that way I can make sure when I put them on the motherboard and stuff they've got plenty I don't want to run out rather have more fittings than not enough and then we've got some more fresh soft tubing now J makes mistakes and it's you know I do videos about how to choose your tubing and stuff when I accidentally didn't pay attention Royals ordering as you can see right there I ordered thin wall tubing and my compressions will not work with this because I need thick wall tubing so K I've got to get more tubing but I can turn this stuff into like a drain hose or fill hose or whatever I don't like the thin wall stuff because as you can see it kinks like really easy I mean if you don't have to put much of a bend on this stuff to get it to ticking do you see that it's the kinks really easy so that's why I don't like thin wall let's see what else we have here oh we got some more this is pH EG crystal link tubing the tubes that i have in between the graphics cards right there that's acrylic its bits power acrylic very very thin ten by twelve millimeter so you can't bend that or anything but I also don't want there to be any chances of cracking it's been reused on every build so I don't want to reuse that tubing anymore I have got PE T G here and then this is also just 1212 sticks of three foot or 36 inch PE TP tubing so that I can redo any bends I'm not certain that the sockets going to be in the same position on this motherboard here as it is there so as a chance may have to redo that bend again and then obviously this Ben isn't gonna work because I'm doing the motherboard block so I'm gonna have a lot of tubing going on right there now but anyway let's do this now let's let's open up one of these Remo chill PC pure performance fluids and let's go ahead and pour some of it into like a water bottle and get my phone to stop ringing and we've they're calling me to tell me that my car is ready my 350z was getting some getting some maintenance done but anyway yeah let's pour some of that into a water bottle and then we will see how that how the dye actually mixes see what how what it takes to make it kind of match this orange and also to the only thing I'm waiting on start the build here is cables which sanctum is hooking me up with and they're making them as we speak should have in my next week and then I probably will end up reusing these fans again repainting these rings a matched orange so I guess we'll go from there alright I mean yeah I'm gonna get a water bottle I'll BRB so I just went and drank me a refreshing bottle of water to be nice and healthy but here's the primo chill clear they call it their performance fluid PC pure so it's clear it looks slightly cloudy but that's because of the bottle it's got their corrosive inhibitors in there anti growth inhibitors but it's it's very pure fluid and I kind of want the fluid to look like orange Gatorade if you will like I'm I'm kind of over the pastel you know I can't see through it kind of thing I do like the shininess that clear shows but anyway I'm go ahead and pour some of this in here and then we'll do some of the orange even though the lid it looks like yellow it's just the way the cameras picking it up one of the dots is much more orange than the other but they are the same at least according to the labels they're all the same this one just just looks like a little bit newer bottle so no I guess we'll see hopefully these are all the same I better make sure I use the same bottle for all of it well it doesn't look like it reacted weird at all obviously when I shook it it aerated it up a little bit but that's kind of the color I'm going for so it kind of looks like orange Gatorade since it doesn't seem like anything weird is happening I guess I go ahead and pour this back into that bottle we'll put some more drops in there and see how it does well yeah I'm liking that color though I mean it's a little bit darker than that made the tops are for the RAM but that's okay because we got some you know plenty of orange going on here that's kind of neat looking I like that that's actually air those are air bubbles they look like floaties like you know backwash but there's not that's kind of weird I think it's pretty good I think that's what we're gonna do you're gonna use it like that not too orange but not too clear like not too light either it's just right in my opinion I like that that looks good let's put the RAM tops over there yeah see that's all you gotta do I mean if you guys want custom color you know what the rack your brain trying to find someone selling the color you want you just make the color you want and if they don't sell the dye you want dyes especially in clear fluid you can mix them just like paint and get the color that you want looks sweet I like it like I said you don't need to go crazy trying to find someone who makes the color fluid you want just make it yourself absolutely but anyway the build will probably be starting next week trust me I want to get started now and get it done with because I'm tired of looking at that I really really am closed I'm really tired of looking at that and and I even have to be creative in my videos to make sure it doesn't even get like in shot that wait like that or something because I'm so tired of the comments of oh my god I did your fluid changing color again when I already made a video about it also - there's something else I did over the Thanksgiving weekend and I'll kind of give you guys a sneak peek at that real quick I'll just kind of do that at the end of the video here and like the end slate but before I do that I just want to say thanks guys for all of your support I didn't get a chance put up Thanksgiving video I took some much-needed history oh sorry EDD I took so much needed time away from gaming and from computers and from YouTube and even social media I just had to completely like unplug for the most part still responding to some things but I've just I needed a break I love you guys but I needed a break it's like it's not it's not you it's me I swear it's not you it's me work it that worked work good now we're past it yeah this is just this is a very tiring time of year that's why this office is such a disaster with everything messy everywhere because of the fact that everyone everyone especially this time of year everyone wants their videos every wants their videos and they want it now they want their products they want everyone to go buy their products and stuff and they want me to like show you guys hey check this is what's new do a video do video I am one person I'm one person with a release schedule that's manageable for one person yeah I could do daily uploads but then the video quality quality would suffer more than they already do and I would completely burnout burnout is already a realistic thing that I'm facing and I'm doing the best I can to manage that but I think everyone who does this for a living obviously faces burnout I mean I know even guys like lionesses face burnout but when you go at a constant pace it's important to find outlet so that's why lately I've been golfing again even went back to take golf lessons because it I've golf for 25 years yeah 25 years but my golf swing stuff went to you know I just lost a lot of the fundamentals so I got that dialed back in now I'm enjoying the game again you guys know I had the 350z it's taking up a lot of my attention away from the office you guys follow on social media you noticed I put up a post saying I'm selling the 350z because I well you guys will see it at the end of the video anyway just make sure you stay tuned at the end but anyway yeah things are good with the channel in fact things are almost too good and that's part of the problem is it's like I can't handle everything everybody wants which inevitably means that some companies get left out and then they get their feelings hurt and then they want to hold it against me and it's just sex and then on top of that it's like okay you deal with fallout from the audience because you try and put food on your family's plate you know you try and keep a roof over your head as best you can and at the same time live you know it's people people like to be judgmental and say oh my god Jay why are you buying a sports car you know you if you do running all these dad's you know then you could afford your sports car but it's not about that I'm still a person with hobbies and it's my business what I do with my money on a personal level so that's what I'm dealing with and that's why now that we're coming to the end of the year every year I had like a sort of like a really a resolution but like a year of because I make sure I call it a year of for the fact that if you call it a resolution those who fail a lot of people's resolutions fail so that's why 2014 was the get out of debt year where I got got completely out of credit card debt got out of IRS debt got out of medical bills debt every single debt you can imagine I had my wife and I had 11 credit cards all of that is gone paid off completely debt-free except for you know car payment but you guys can learn more about that my blog channel it's Jay's says Jay why is it ESA why yes you guys can go over there I've got lots of blogs about that stuff if you want to know more about it 2015 was my get into you know get into shape better you're healthier I think I've done that too 2016 is more I feel like the year of expansion where the channel has to expand in some way but it needs to expand in an organic way where it's not gonna feel like the the foundation that I built my channel on is gonna change because I don't want to change that I like this off the cuff video style where it's like you guys are just in here with me hanging out while we do this thing and I think a lot of you like that too or if I turn to corporate or to too big if you will in the production style and all of that that I think that may although it may help the channel grow I think it would create a disconnect at the same time between you guys and me and I enjoy this connection that we have we have we have a beautiful thing we're totally on fleek but anyway guys I just thought I would do a vlog today it's been a while since I've I've logged and talked to you guys it's just mano-a-mano anyway I am gonna go ahead and hop on out of here make sure you guys check the insulate and you guys will see what my new hobby has been all about and we'll be doing a video on that I promise anyway guys thanks for listening to me babble and just show you some of the stuff coming up on the channel also to huge giveaway happening with no youtuber I'm doing this week and then a little bit later this month around Christmastime I am giving away a complete computer system monitor key mouse complete system totally built ready for gaming just wait for that news anyway guys that's my way of saying thank you to you don't make sure you stay subscribe so you don't miss that unless you don't want a computer and you can get something going now see you later you
