so a couple months ago just before Computex I built a new testbed in a live video that included successful Assembly of the Praxis wet bench and I will link that video in a card up in the top right however I couldn't tell you my actual intended CPU for this test bench the 69 50 X because it wasn't out yet also I used a temporary motherboard because my intended motherboard for this test bench was the X 99 designate X from gigabyte and it didn't arrive quite in time also is quite a few of you pointed out this is the Praxis wet bench and I air-cooled with the CPU just doesn't seem right so a bit of a rebuild as an order and here the parts I will be using from the original build I'll still be using the sweet-looking Praxis wet bench in white and gray and I'll carry over the g.skill Trident Z 32 gig ddr4 3200 quad channel memory kit and black and white the new parts that I'm adding starting with the gigabyte X 99 designate a X motherboard it's black white and blue and it's got steel reinforced slots and it has a pair of YouTube ports and an MDOT 2 and it's got a cool trick with the DisplayPort input that can accept your discreet GPUs video signal and pass it back out through a USB type-c connector with Thunderbolt 3 also look sexy sleeved SATA cables anyway it's a perfect home for the Intel Core i7 69 50 X the 10 Core Extreme Edition Broadwell a CPU which is as drool-worthy as it is overpriced for my operating system I'll be going with the Intel 750 series 400 gigabyte SSD it's nvme reads and writes of 2200 and nine hundred megabytes per second respectively and I'll be using it with a u2 adapter the power supply is the gigabyte extreme gaming 1200 watt PSU I know nothing about this power supply other than that it's 80 plus platinum and it got sent over along with the gigabyte GTX 1060 which I tested an ultra wide in my last video by the way card up in the corner but it's got all black cables fully modular and 1200 Watts gives plenty of headroom for multi card configurations it's got pretty loud orange labels though which doesn't really match my color scheme but I don't think they'll show fortunately Wow hundred amp 12 volt rail and finally to get this bench a little damp we have the fractal Kelvin s 36 fulfilling my needs for a CPU liquid cooler and a three here sixty millimeter radiator copper by the way to fill out the rad mount on the back of the Praxis web bench so here's where I realized that the tubing on the Kelvin s 36 was not going to be long enough to reach around and get up to the CPU socket you're damned right I said reach around by the way so Plan B was to remove the tubing from the pump temporarily past each tube through the motherboard tray and then reconnect it which should give enough slack it worked and I was able to top off the few drops that leaked out while I had the tubes opened up with the fill port on the side of the pump there's no way this would've worked without the removable fittings on the Kelvin s 36 and although one of my reconnects did pop out and I had to kind of scramble to mop up the juice that leaked I was able to reattach it and got through the rest of the CPU cooler installation without any issues cable management was a little tricky since this is a very open design but I used some velcro straps to keep most everything tied up just beneath the motherboard with the build all finished Windows 10 installation proceeded and I kept a close eye out for leaks thankfully none so far as for CPU temps check out my 69 50 X benchmarks video which is linked again in the card in the top right and you will find that with a 4.3 gigahertz overclock I was hitting a DC on the CPU with air cooling but now with water and topped out at 60 you
