what's up all you beautiful internet nerds days two cents here and I've been asked an awful lot about why I'm not using this beautiful build that I built to kind of commemorate the launch of the rise end platform this being the rise in seven 1800 X of course with two Titan X Maxwell cards in there on water and a really cool setup but I'm not using it obviously so why why is that well stay tuned this video is brought to you by audible and right now they're offering my viewers a free 30-day trial membership and with that trial membership a free audiobook so that you get to keep now I just got done listening to the subtle art of not giving it by Mark Manson I did it right here on my phone and now it's recommending that my next book because I'm a huge fan of the self-help section let's face it I can use the help is you are a badass by Jensen cereal so I'm gonna listen to that one obviously they they know right now if you head on over to audible.com slash Jays two cents that's J a y'see TW o te NTS you can get your free trial started and with it your free audiobook better yet once you just click the link down in the description so actually a couple of reasons why I haven't been using the 1800 X system one of them makes a perfect amount of sense and the other one is a little bit embarrassing so we'll start with the one that makes sense first first of all when I built this it was literally prior to launch I got this prior to launch and I put it together and I got to play around with it and it had a lot of idiosyncrasies if that's the right word key to you know secrecy compartmentalize and a lot of weird BIOS issues that had some memory compatibility issues that didn't have the longest list of memory compatibility as things were going through validation as those things become validated you need to have micro code for the CPU be updated bios for the motherboard to be updated it was a hell of a process and the problem is when I was you know when I moved into the studio here and I'm making videos for you guys I can't be down with problems like that now obviously we're several months into the future and it means it makes something like this worth considering once again especially for content creators because of the cost of value obviously with Rison that has not changed in any of the videos I've talked about that is data constant especially with the X 299 launch which happened there is still very very competitive value on AMD side of things and I want to see how much things have truly matured when it comes to the rise n platform there's actually some new motherboards coming out too so what I think I think when I make that change and I build a full time usage 1,800 X system in here I'm going to try out a different motherboard to see what there is I mean there's some new stuff coming out from asus rog there's obviously new stuff from Oris and Giga by msi and all of them I might be asking yourself J if memory compatibility has improved and the bios have improved and the microcode has improved and you've got this built system already why are you talking about building another one to do your testing why don't you just use the one you have right here and to that I would say that is a very valid question into which I would also reply that this case right here is an accumulation of me being an idiot and doing very poor due diligence and research in building the system prior to actually using it because I'm sure you guys have already noticed by now this case although beautiful the fantex evolve case has terrible airflow absolutely terrible airflow this case was built with aesthetics in mind and functionality second especially when it comes to water cooling now this case would be just fine if you were air cooling right if you had your exhaust fans on the top and you had your exhaust fan in the back and intakes on the front without all the extra resistance of radiators this would be a fine fantastic case for air cooling the problem is when you add a 45 millimeter thick high fpi 240 rad in the front with fan filter on the front with a solid Pam they come take this front panel off okay I want you guys to see this and on the underside you've got the fan filter now as you guys can see I've already cut the fan filter once you pull the fan filter off - it comes up from the top and magnetic just pull yes very good well as you guys can see I've already cut out the hand filters because I was trying to improve the airflow as best I could but that you got the fan filter here you've got those tiny little slits for air to try and make its way through on the front and I've only got two intake fans on there which meant that I was having a horrible negative pressure situation and terrible airflow there was very little air actually making it through plus I have to pump right in front of the radiator which means that they again just blocking the air as much I possibly could that's why I had to turn the exhaust man on the back around to turn it into an intake fan so I've got air kind of opposing each other trying to go through the top okay that kind of worked a little bit it brought the temps down a couple of decrees but let's take a look at the top panel Xiaomi because check this out it's a solid piece the only vents you have are right here on the side and these tiny little vents on the front right there which cut the front and the back so I have literally built and I spent a ton of hours putting together this loop and bending it and making it look gorgeous and you guys saw the build video on that hopefully if you didn't it'll pop out here you guys can go and check it out I made a beautiful build that was just killing itself with heat the CPU was actually reaching about 75 to 80 C on water and the GPUs both the Maxwell type necks is not overclocked we're reaching over 60 C on water so yeah that's why I haven't been using the system because in order to run it if you guys remember where I did my 30 day rise in review in order to keep it running and not melting itself I usually had the top off the front off and sometimes even the side panel off because it was the only way enough air could actually make it to the radiators now proving my point that the case design was the issue obviously if I took off just the side panel even and said screw the front rad getting air just the side panel letting the 360 handle everything temps came down 10 degrees on the CPUs down to the mid to low 50s and then once I took the top panel off and the front cover off GPU temps dropped down to about 43 the 45 C and then the CPU came all the way down to the 50s so yeah that means either I'm stuck with what looks like a beautiful build here that's nothing more than just an aesthetic piece or I just assembled the whole thing and start all over so I'm leaning towards the whole starting all over thing but also brings a very valid point guys research your cases because hardware connects also did a fantastic review of this case they also talked about the flaws and then watch that video prior to getting this case and putting it all together and I kind of wish that I had now because I could have saved myself a lot of hate anyway that's it the internet likes to come up with a bunch of rumors as to why people say it a certain thing and then use another piece of hardware people we're basically like Oh obviously Intel's in Jays pocket because that's why you switched back to x99 now it came down to the temperature issues and then the stability of the bios and memory and stuff and when I build my entire business based off the stability of my systems when it comes to rendering these videos and creating them for you stability trumps all including X 2.99 I won't be switching X to 99 for my main PC anytime soon hey guys time to go X to 99 stuff is coming up on the channel I've got a 7900 X I'll be doing a review on as well as a 72 740 X and as always connect to your continued support consider subscribing maybe if you're not already and as always I'll see you in the next
