A Paul's Hardware Personal Update & CPU Cooler Testing Build

2013-05-17
excellent hey everyone welcome back to Pauls hardware today's video is a little bit different than usual it's actually going to be a little bit of a personal update as well as talking more about what I'm planning to do but have not done quite yet first off personal update things have been incredibly incredibly busy for me especially considering all the stuff going on at work with newegg TV we for instance just earlier this week went up to Santa Clara visited nvidia we've been doing stuff for their project shield launch which is just now finally been announced pre-orders are on we've actually gotten some decent amount of hands-on time with that which has been pretty cool I think it's pretty pretty nice device I like the I like the angle that nvidia is coming at it with but yeah so we spent some time up there we have quite a few things coming up in the very near future some stuff I can't talk about other stuff I can the stuff that I can is that actually we're going to taipei taiwan taipei taiwan for computex this year so i'm actually leaving in gosh i guess a little over a week i'm going to be there for over two weeks so in that time i might not be able to post here on my channel quite as frequently i I don't want to promise anything i'm going to try to shoot some video there and upload to my channel but if i am not able to do that we are going to be shooting video there and uploading to newegg TV channel so you guys can check that out if you want to see coverage of what we're doing there there should be some exciting stuff going on at computex and i've never been to taiwan either so that should also be a lot of fun apart from that you guys have probably or maybe maybe you've heard a little bit about some the projects i've had going on here at home for my channel the main one that i've been working on has been my cpu cooler comparison in my close loop cpu cooler comparison and that one has had its ups and downs um I should be right up there with you guys and say that I haven't done nearly as much work on it as I should have hence this case next to me hence the reason to h110 is still in its box back there behind me but I digress what it's going to come down to is a three-way cpu cooler benchmark between the coarser h110 which is a 280 millimeter radiator the thermaltake water two point O extreme which is a 240 but it's a thicker radiator and the swiftech h220 which is a copper radiator also 240 millimeters so I've been really trying to get that under way and my most recent dilemma was the discovery that's to my surprise probably due to the lack of proper research beforehand none of the cases I have here are actually going to be able to accommodate all three of those coolers I wanted to use the same case and all of them so again to that end that's why I have the NZXT phantom 630 right here it has a massive radiator mounting point up at the top it will accommodate all three of those coolers and it's a case that I actually worked with before so I have some experience with it I'm plan to do a review this case as well once I have this whole bill done and everything but I want to get a bit more hands-on time with it first before I come out and give you guys my final thoughts on it but I think it's going to work great for my tests but it's still in the box and the system is not set up and the coolers are still in their boxes and and and as i mentioned i'm going to taiwan soon so I'm going to really really try to get this done before I go i'm also going to try this weekend to shoot some more videos so i have some more stuff maybe to space out while I'm gone anyway that's pretty much what's going on with me right now for the rest of this video though I am going to be setting up my test bed in here so let me get you give you guys a quick look at the parts involved and then i will show you me actually building this tonight probably just going to do a speed through like i usually do but yeah here's a look at the components so here's essentially what i'm going to be using for the testing platform for some storage for the main operating system out of a kingston hyperx one of the original hyperx drives 240 gigs so i will be using that for the OS not that that's going to affect my cpu testing scores too much the cpu testing i have a 3770k which is already installed right there as well as four by four gigs of corsair vengeance ddr3 memory that's actually the Vengeance low profile and then of course all in the asus sabertooth ne7 motherboards so those are my components and at this point I'm going to say fond farewell to all you guys watching out there i'm going to go ahead and show you guys the build process here because this is what i'm going to be doing for the rest of the night assembling this and hopefully getting my testing underway i know i didn't show you guys the power supply that one's actually over there i think i'm going to use an antec 1200 watt just because i have it and and might as well yeah but more on the how I set up this testing configuration in the future of course thanks for watching guys don't forget to subscribe and like the video if you enjoyed it I hope to be bringing you coverage from Taiwan if I can but if not we'll see you all as soon as I possibly can get another video produced you
