I'm Josh till advice prayers of marketing for fractal design probably otherwise known as fractal Josh my current system is a few years old quite a few years old got a 4770k and it's one of those systems kinda like most people have where you kind of keep building off of it you know you have this and yeah adds more harddrive space you have great ramp and you know it's kind of starting to show its limits now for me mostly with storage what we're also doing here is Josh's first time getting his hands dirty with rigid tubing I'll let you guys take that joke wherever you want to leave that but he's never bent rigid tube or anything before so we just keep going with the J it's good so we're gonna bend the shaft a little bit here no we're gonna we're going to put a link to all these parts in the description below so rather than spend a bunch of time calling out parts we're gonna have this be a fun video where you just kind of come along for Josh's first time playing with his tube now to be fair obviously I used to run my own system integration business boutique system builder so I've done a lot of this stuff I just back in my day you didn't have no damn rigid tubing so this be my first experience with that so maybe show people why it's not as I guess scary as people think it is this requires a lot of heat a little bit of patience and basically I screw up it's on you because you didn't teach me well well on that note let's go do you want to be cooler you want to be more desirable well you're in luck because right now you can own your very own J's two cents wag and immediately be the cool kid on the block max out your sex appeal by following the link down below now one thing about this motherboard it is frickin hefty a six terabyte geez why is that not big enough not big i neva know they made up black what kind it is how you use it so my current PC is pretty much my catch-all PC a game on it I stream on Twitch I edit video I do a lot of work you know duties on there and honestly the 4770k is no slouch but the issue I'm having now is I can start to see where it's kind of bottleneck in my performance and how much I can get done on a daily basis now one thing I know I'm gonna get trolled on is I've got four sticks of RAM I'll be upgrading that for later on but you know Ram prices so let me go ahead just like see the processor and everything right now I'm already yeah okay see the processor and then you could take off the heatsinks do these two yeah you might have to take that off on the side I can't member though that's wanting to strip this one yeah so it's actually started happening on mine where they tighten this screw down and the metal soft so the moment you even try and we had a proper size yeah it starts stripping we had the right size Phillips in there it's just the metal so soft it just immediately rounds out so what you're replacing this piece with is this heatsink here okay and then it has its own thermal pad so you'll need the manual for that one to see which ones are this people would be cringing just watching me put this thermal pad on here I did not get a mani-pedi today we welcome everybody yeah oh yeah that's your home yeah guys really got Lani not possible yeah graceful fuck Jay here's where Jay cuts his finger open you put a little blood in there so you know what it's kind of looking forward to it this build is having more of a showpiece my current one is more of a workhorse it's not ready for primetime so to speak but with that kind of comes a concern of the hardline rigid to me it's a look I've always liked I've never personally got a hardline to bill before I've done plenty of standard I guess softube liquid-cooled builds and you know what makes me a little bit nervous is just the rigidity of it no pun intended but you know if I need to swap out Hardware exchange something just I'm gonna have to drain the whole system there's no bending a tube out of a way to get to it thermal paste is on Jay so you can pick it up flip it over by that like hold it swap bam hits the ground this whole setup right now weighs so much I mean actually bench test any of this stuff so banking that it's all good out of the box we believe in our hardware partners did this part come off separate from this part Jay focus Jay it's so day one all we get is motherboard block installed so we now have the RGB mono block on as well as the CPU installed to cover back on unit and now I'll be reinstalling some more cosmetic enhancements you can't IPO porn forget it look I ripped that one in half - that's gonna be more - even trigger people yeah more even trigger yeah Nessa they'll trigger more even the bestest of them all work sir so I'm gonna try and do some fine motor movements and you have like 16 coffees in you okay so now now you gotta go through moving 50 mm screws to convert this yes okay Johnny NASCAR you know all those screws are different so for this bill rush you using a 360 slim radit for the top and a 240 thick red for the front wanted to be sure that they were gonna be in the film them just want to make sure I just want to make sure we were gonna have any interference with two 360s you could make it work but we didn't actually need to do that we have a thicker red you know Jay thinks he's all that but honestly he's been at this for about an hour and a half so really let me get the front ready cuz then we can see I was trying to think of like which way I want to worry at the fans on here true because he had the cable coming off huh no not gonna clear the dim dot to you well then we'll leave that out and I can put it back under the shield down there cuz the thing is that's taller than the most rambhai liked a little bit yeah I did it's well yeah to me I see the it's pretty tall the dim dot to is like slightly too tall now obviously if you guys have seen like the G scale tried and Z before they're very tall and very sharp RAM sticks we wanted to mount it to the dim tube because we thought it'd be easier to access if he ever needed to change it for some reason but then we realized even if we got it to mount like on the dim dot too and clear the radiator that it would still been a really you know big pain in the ass to get out because of where the power cables are and where the 24-pin and all that is so we're just going with this so in all honesty when you see like a lot of builds like this where they go a little bit over the top or whatever what you're seeing is like the price you pay for that a lot of this stuff is not the most user-friendly you know like obviously like skunk works you have little bit more because it's like it's such a physically large size of it yeah but it's like okay if you had to get into that one back there tear something now it's like most times you're looking at drain your system and then start undoing the liquid clean stuff you did before yeah you have a problem yeah it's one of those days I Monday got it we're gonna come in on this side because the thing with parallel is you have two tubes that go in between them so it's it divides the flow between each card evenly but then the outlet has to be on the opposite side and when I'm looking at right here that kind of sucks is that it doesn't line up like straight with either of these so we're gonna have like a cockeyed Bend Cayuse Nick okay yeah you know while we're going through the build you kind of have in your mind's eye what it's gonna look like and once you get everything is simple and you're getting ready to do the tubing you start realizing a few millimeters here versus a few millimeters there how much of a difference that can make and how much more difficult it becomes to get the tubing bends done or to route the cables in that particular area and I know a few times does like I just want to be done with this part I just want this Bend to work out perfectly so we can move on to the next thing it feels like it was kind of a bit of an anchor holding you back but once you get past it I mean you're just excited for the next step now we need to mount the reservoir okay and then that just what screws into the fan the bracket here yeah you know it's a sleeving on these things I have a promo code for those I thought he said it would sleep well so this is a manual pump right there's no PWM this blue wire right here is just rpm circuit so this tells the motherboard hey it's spinning like a fan yeah I never use these so you can leave it on if you want and we can sleeve it but I recommend snip the blue wire under here get rid of it cut the blue you won't explode that's the red wire okay that's a yellow one I'll hold this part that's been helpful yeah thank you sir now she's helpful to be a satisfying click you ready okay well it was sad yeah you kind of oversold that Jay teamwork makes the dream work jinx do a tester fitter so the two like trouble areas is gonna be obviously getting from here to here mm-hmm from there to the red and then from here to here that's probably going to stop here at least for this part of this video it's gonna be a 1:1 part video don't worry so yeah yeah I'm gonna let you do you can figure out the loop all on your own yeah okay yeah oh good I'll be your spirit animal my little bunny he's gonna hop around I got you the little bunny look look at this little bunny okay day two obviously the part you guys are here for josh is gonna be doing his first rigid two bended thingy in his computer I'm gonna try working with Jay you know I'm sure a lot of people really look forward to that and think that'd be a dream gig obviously Jays really good to work with he's good at coaching you and kind of like what he does why he does it it's not so much about you have to do it this way it's more like a in my experience I've learned this this seems to shortcut this or make things easier and I suggest you go that route and you know I learned a lot by watching him obviously he has a comfort level with this stuff that kind of gives you more of a sense of calm when you're driving into a project like this you know as opposed to trying to do something like this at home for the first time you know props that people feel like they can do that I would be too busy freaking out about messing up tubing but we decided that there was one change we should do honestly we weren't sure how much room we were gonna have with two 360s I mean obviously we knew the case supported it yeah but after looking at it and thinking that the 240 felt a little empty in the front and I was worried about air flow because we had three exhaust fans on top and an 140 in the back so we decided to take another EK cool stream se which is the slim addition it's the exact same one we had on top I had just happen to have one here in studio so we are gonna have balanced air flow now we're gonna take the 140 out of the back of the case we're gonna have a 360 in the front 360 on the top and nice balanced air flow same exact rad same fans so I mean the air flows will be the same between the two the other thing we did is obviously the tiny little reservoir tube that comes with the EK pump top reservoir combo was not big enough so we swapped it for a 250 millimeter reservoir and you can see now we've got this nice big chunk of cooling here alright so we got some things to do now we are gonna get everything back in and start planning our loop because that's always the most complicated part so that would work so if you want it to bend here you need to heat up a little bit farther back and it's gonna curve so that's the mistake people make is they they eat where they want the bend to be and then when it bends the radius is tighter and then it doesn't lie anywhere they think the middle of their Brenda is gonna be it's already starting to bend because it's so thin so now lift it off the heat a little higher and then just kind of keep rotating it around start to try them in a ninety slowly so you're almost there good now so now put it down the table and then flip it over the other way so you can put the straightedge on here and then yeah blowing it to cool off and keep it there for a little while needs to be shortened up a little bit so you know now that the system is done obviously there's that sense of nervousness when you first hit the power button I think everybody gets that no matter how expensive or big or grand your build is like oh gosh will it boot and once you hit that you know you have a few more blocks of like okay is everything gonna load rise gonna recognize all the hardware so you're ready for this yeah we should do it okay here we go three two one well there's that obviously we have the RGB reservoir in there as well RGB Ram RGB motherboard there are RGB blocks on the graphics cards as well first boot usually takes a while but it's a lot of micro bubbles in there itself to work their way out however you know it might take even longer J it's for me to ship this thing home well the monitor is doing stuff okay and now we're done peace out video over we're just done we're good turning wait guys I want to thank Josh for allowing me to kind of help him with his build here I basically did most of the bends only because this turned out to be a somewhat complicated ish type of build in terms of the bending there was a couple of double 90s that can be quite a pain in the ass but we use fittings everywhere applicable just to make it simpler plus ek sent over a lot of fittings for us to use and that made things easier so what we gotta do now obviously exhibit OS installed all this will be off-camera we need to the OS installed he's got to get his Asus aura going so that we could stop this RGB puke madness a rainbow puke well it's quite majestic you know I'd still like to tone it down a bit any final words uh honestly it's you know I think one of those things like any project you just happy to have it done just because you get to use it you know and more than that yeah big thank you to the sponsors helped me out you know basically everybody that's in there we got a cos kick Danny BJ's got the pixel pushing power going there HyperX with the SSDs in the back you know we've got what toshiba kicked in the one terabyte in DME you know cuz honestly one of the things I'm most excited about for this build believe it or not it was storage cuz you know it's like I don't create a ton of content like J does but the stuff that we do internally when you work on a marketing team and you have multiple raw files of stuff and TIFF images and things like that and corporate backups it's like it just gets huge so to be able to have a lot of storage and fast storage is big you know in sorts cranked out the cables really quick Premal chill is awesome and getting fluid samples to both on it for the color matching and also to J and yeah I already stepped up so I'm pleased I'm really happy with it I'd like takeaways from from this build you know obviously a large part of its plan you always want to have extras of everything you know because you have in your mind's eye how this is gonna work out on a 90 degree Bend here this fitting over here and then you get into it you realize up a few millimeters off okay now to adjust that we give you this incredibly complicated Bend or if I just had another you know extender it would just fit easy so you know in my mind going into something like this again I'd order multiples of what I need you know get a few extra fittings you know get more tubing just so you're not putting yourself up against the wall you have some breathing room if you do a bend wrong of a tube breaks or something like that but you know now that it's done I mean it's kind of crazy to look at and realize that it's mine that it's my system you know it's one of those things where it's got all the RGB but I'm not gonna have a run color spectrum I get to make it in mind I get to make it you know an all purple build if that's the accent color I want where I can mix it up and for me you know it's a little bit crazy to look at it from the solid side and see house you know sleek and minimalist it is it looks like any other system and then you turn around to the TG side it's like a holy crap you know it's kind of like a complete sleeper from one side on the other side you know a pure performance so I love the way it turned out you know it's always a mixed bag when you're dealing with J cuz there's alpha male J and you know he talks about his cars and how awesome he is and how he shit his pants on the way home from school hello Jay so I'm Josh with fractal design vice-president marking sorry so I'm Josh with fractals I and the vice president marketing for North America Hey so we're looking at you so
