what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and a lot of you have seen this video coming from a mile away and ever since case lab stopped making the their cases it became even more obvious that I was going to be doing something with skunk works well here it is we are going to be upgrading this we're doing a first part of it right now where we're gonna be upgrading the motherboard the processor the block when we changing out one of the reservoir tubes we'll talk about that why we're gonna flush the system and we're gonna be obviously upgrading the CPU to a 79 60 x16 core 32 thread processor from intel on x-29 t9s currently an X 99 69 50 X no slouch with two Titan X Pascal's in there not Titan XPS but Titan X Pascal and yeah so we're gonna be doing a few things today we're going at the motherboard in the processor the block we're gonna flush the system and then we're gonna prepare it for its final phase of the upgrade I'm sure you guys can figure out what that's gonna be today's video is sponsored

even different so it's it's an improved design and improved flow it's better for the higher core count CPUs that's obviously something that's changed quite a bit over time is the higher core count which means they've had to sort of improve their block designs it's a little bit bigger as you can see now and of course has RGB very nice see-through top plate on there because when we going with new water blocks of obviously for the graphics cards which are going to be clearly 20 atti r-tx cards because skunkworks has always been a centerpiece of the channel designed to be impractical overpriced and really a lot like me you know you probably pay too much for watching my content even free is way overcharged and I'm kind of loud and I'm sort of unnecessary so I'm going with the ex $2.99 for the 1k from EVGA I they still are my favorite brand of motherboard because they're simple they work the BIOS are solid ever since they kind of revamped their motherboard team all the way back to z77 they have just been extremely solid this one actually has RGB and stuff on it so we can spice up our build a little bit I didn't go with the dark because the dark is meant for extreme high-end overclocking just a bit I know I said this build was supposed to be overkill but it's a bit overkill for this build and to be honest the gold wouldn't go with our theme very well so that's why we ended up going with this I currently have an X 99 classified in here which has been more than solid for me over the last several years I've been running this build and so I figured I'm going to stick with what has worked for me and that's exactly what we're using here all this time that I've been showing you guys how one of the loops always looks a little bit darker than the other that was a true issue obviously with the yellow and the orange I mean it turned brown straight-up fluid color change but all of that fluid color change over time has slightly tinted the right tube and the way we figure that out was the last video that we did go and watch it if you haven't where we checked this fluid having been two years old and we saw that nothing was clogging anywhere we mixed both yeah we mix both loops - I was knocked over it's crackit before we can get in it I mixed both loops together in the same jug and then poured them independently back into their loops and saw that the right loop was slightly darker again which was impossible considering it hadn't even run yet so that got me to thinking that that tube is tinted ever so slightly so we're gonna be putting in a brand new acrylic tube in there and that should be that so one thing we're not to deal with here is this pass-through fitting it's not gonna line up with my cards anymore because NV link is wider than SLI this block right here has to scoot back slightly on the new cards in fact I even had to shave I don't think you see it I had actually shave off a corner of the Nvidia bridge because it didn't work with the ek water blocks cuz it hit because it was more pointy so I actually flattened out those edges right there so that means have to figure out something when the cards get here on how to straighten that up so when I do when we do that that's gonna be mostly just putting on the new graphics cards with water blocks everything else will already be in there and then figuring out this Bend I'm really praying that the CPU location on this motherboard and the new motherboard are exactly the same or I will have to rebound this tube and this one to be easy it's just a single 90 these double 90s man no those are pain in the butt so I might have to redo this tube at the most so what do you say we just go ahead and do it old-school style where we just blog it not vlog it but montage it but there'll be much better montages and the ones I used to do because of course we've got freaking Phil here running the show all right listen look so bad I mean did in the first try who would he expect I am a professional okay we got the new motherboard in of course the EVGA X $2.99 for the win k we've got my new 79 60 x16 core CPU in there we've got the new velocity RGB water block that's on there we actually did come up with a custom RGB solution for that we'll show you how we did it in the next video because that's a RGB block and this motherboard although it has RGB on its own little covers it doesn't have a single header on the motherboard designed for 12 volt or addressable or any of that so we had to actually scramble to figure out how we were gonna light up both of my graphics card blocks and my CPU block we figured it out I'm also gonna be putting UV lighting in here so I'm gonna be sticking with the green bright UV green that glows in the dark I love the way UV green looks remember we did it on my D frame build so yeah our loop as you can see is redone we had to do that Bend again two bends had to be redone I ended up using this double rotary swivel footing here I just like the way it looks more abstract and that's because of the design and the motherboard I just felt like I wanted to add up something in there a little bit less clean a little bit more against the green but just enough to be different but not really trigger OCD doesn't bother me at all and that's what matters most obviously with it being my build now both the loops right now are filled with distilled water and they're running the Primeau chill sysprep in there which is cleaning out any of the stuck gunk that could be built up in the radiators and they have a slight green tinge to them because like I said it's been running pastel for over two years it's very unlikely that it's ever gonna turn completely clear but we're going back with green so that's that doesn't matter you know the beginning this video how I mentioned the right reservoir tube we think was tinted a little bit that's a brand new too but as you can see it still looks slightly darker in the one on the left so we're thinking it's just the way the lighting is with the fans being next to it and the fans being black we just think it's casting a bit of a shadow onto it which is why it always looks darker so I'm just gonna leave that be I've got this soft tube here because that's just the way we're completing this connection so I can flush out this radiator down here but what's most important obviously as we get these radiators nice and clean and prepare for their next obviously their next round of gaming and stuff I might take this build back home again I miss it I look at the B frame at home and like this build is cool but it's not skunkworks so anyway so in the next part of this video we're obviously we recovered the two GPUs any changes we have to make with that and lighting and then it will be pretty much done a pretty easy upgrade this time around so guys thanks for watching let me know what you think and yeah it's one of these older oldie but goodie zits a very very clean very minimalistic build but I like it I've been talking to Phil about maybe taking all the external panels and painting them just a slightly darker shade of gunmetal so there's a bit of a two-tone going with that and I think it'll look really good then I say is if I paint this though I should be able to strip the paint off not too too difficult because this is powder coating I could always get it stripped and repower coated in another color if I wanted to do that but again things we can figure out later on thanks for watching guys and as always we'll see you in the next one well out have to get my stuff system trips and you're pregnant
