what's up guys how's it going on welcome to Paul's Hardware today is my monthly build for December 2018 I'm building the system and you could possibly win it during our charity livestream which is happening very soon on December 8th from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. will you join us there you should team group ste force Delta gaming memory modules are available in a wide variety of speeds and capacities and feature full frame ultra wide-angle RGB lighting aluminum heat spreaders and compatibility with current gen RGB lighting control software click the sponsor link in the description to learn more I also wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to any of you guys out there who happened to celebrate during this joyous time of year but in today's system we have an assortment of parts that I've chosen not necessarily because they are the best parts that match with each other but they're all parts that I actually had here to build the system with that's not to say you couldn't assemble this system together yourself it's pretty well balanced I've got 16 gigs of memory a Rison 1600 x as well as a mini ITX case and motherboard and a 500 watt power supply let's go over the parts real quick so at the heart of the system here we have the Rison 5 1600 X which is a 6 core 12 thread processor a very capable processor and also unlocked for overclocking just going to be pairing that with the Wraith stealth or I'm sorry the Wraith spire cooler which is the stock cooler it comes with but it is a very adequate cooler and also hangs on pretty well for shipping which is important since I will be shipping this to a winner eventually we also have 16 gigs of Corsair Vengeance ddr4 memory this is 2 by 8 gig kit and the memory that's actually in there this is a box I'm repurposing but the memory is 3000 speed and yes it plays very nicely with Rison so I'll get that all installed and set up before the system goes out for a main storage drive we have the Toshiba OC zr c 100 which is a very small but quite quick little nvme SSD 480 gigs on there so plenty of room for your operating system and some games as well and that will be all the storage that's you need to get started and of course there is some expandability with some 3.5 inch drive bays in the Rio Toro CR 2080 I have built with this case before it's nice because it can support full-size power supplies and it's also relatively small it's not the tiniest mini ITX case you get a side panel window and it's put together pretty well we've also got an EVGA 500 BQ 80 plus bronze raid power supply this has all black cabling and that should be enough to support our graphics card which is the geforce gtx 1070 TI this is from EVGA and it is their superclocked version and then of course we need a motherboard to tie everything together so we got the ROG Strix B 450 - I gaming motherboard from Asus which features the a m4 socket of course but also its Mini ITX so it will fit the case and it's got a nice feature set as well including support for or a sync via several RGB headers so those are all the parts I'm going to put this together come along ok so sport has a heat spreader for the m-dot to drive removing that we can see several mounting places depending on the length 22 42 is right here and that's actually where a support is for our drive since this Toshiba RC 100 is very very tiny so if we install like this we actually can't mount it right there there's a little extensions you can do that will let you mount it kind of to here from there but since we got this heat spreader on top I think that's gonna hold it in place just fine so I'll simply remove this label that says remove and put it on people often ask me why I don't remove the sticker on this as well and most SSD manufacturers actually make this label thermally conductive so you don't need to remove it because why would they want you to do branded their thing Oh hold no I'm thinking about it this was Joe's suggestion this little stopper here ah that's probably a bit better so future reference this little stopper guide can be removed I'm just gonna move it down here so it stays in case whoever wins decides to swap out this SSD for any reason then we can use the standard 22 42 mount for right there there is but that's a full-length one these are you see how there's a kind of a nut so these are a little bit yeah that's that's that's okay I think maybe no no all right Joe I think you're right about everything I don't know I didn't know that okay now that you mentioned that I think you're right again it's not being right about everything Joe so just to point out how Joe was right here and I was wrong he suggested that I take this one off of the existing mount and use it and I was like no these shorter ones are what it wants you to use but actually those little shorter ones are for the mount on the back of the motherboard back here if you need to install it there and we discovered that when we use those up here it sort of put the SSD at a bit of a decline there and we don't want that so you'll move this up to here again this was all Joe's idea Paul's Paul's solution would have been wrong and terrible it's okay power of teamwork solved the problem oh yeah people gave me that name Joe Joe Joe there we go to juggle much more level yeah that was an extensive amount of time to spend on the m2 installation i pro tip for anyone who's assembling a this system or something close to it the supplemental cpu power for this motherboard it is in a very difficult to reach location the very top left corner there so it very much recommends plugging that in maybe as you install the motherboard I was able to get it plugged in fortunately I did have to remove this rear exhaust fan but that wasn't too bad now I can remount that and we can continue my initial build in this case I discovered actually had a graphic scribe that was a little bit bigger still fit in here but I found that adding a front intake fan here provided a little bit more air for that this card is a little bit smaller so it's able to fit in without too much difficulty and it's also got a little fan setup that I think will treat it a little bit better alright guys this system is pretty much put together at least as far as all the internal stuff goes and stuff plugged in side panels I have not put this side panel on yet but I have plugged in the power so we can give ourselves a quick test boot the initial power switch is turned on and we have some standby power so that's good and now did I do front panels properly found the power button there it is hey it looks like we have a successful boot fantastic so I'm gonna install windows on this so it's ready to go for the winner in the meantime though that is all the time I have for this video so thank you guys so much for watching and again this will be given away it's gonna be a giveaway that lasts about a week so you guys will have plenty of time to enter we're gonna be kicking that giveaway off with a charity livestream event that we're gonna be streaming from right here on December 8th which is Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Pacific time we'll be on our twitch channels mine Paul's hardware as well as Kyle's all stuff will be linked on the video description so check it out if you're interested thanks for joining me today but that is pretty much all the time I have for today I am very happy that the system came together I hope you guys like it too and of course links to the parts they used are down in the video's description below if the thumbs up button if you enjoyed this video and subscribe if you'd like to see more videos coming actually soon from Paul's hardware thanks again for watching guys and we'll see you next time
