the liqui fusion is the first all-in-one 240 millimeter liquid CPU cooler fermenter max with addressable RGB LEDs allowing for unique lighting effects from the two fans and the water block the block also has a clear panel with a flow indicator and there's an in-line high efficiency ceramic bearing pump if you're looking for a CPU cooling upgrade click the local fusion sponsor link in the video description it's not even all the all components well hello everyone and welcome to today's build video this is the largest and most expansive build I have ever attempted the goal today is to give you guys a first look and an introduction to the new Corsair obsidian 1000d case which you might be able to see sitting at the back behind all of this incredible hardware that I'm going to be putting together this build is gonna be called Riptide it's a thread Ripper based build and there's actually gonna be two systems involved the first system is threader for 1950 X base that's going to be for video editing as well as gaming with two gtx 1080p eyes and then the second system is going to be a FreeNAS build and that's gonna be based on an AMD Rison 520 400 g apu so i get the thousand d out and go for that in just a moment but real quick let's go over the rest of the components for this build and in case you didn't notice by the way this build is sponsored and supported by corsair and Asus so you're gonna notice a lot of Corsair and Asus components starting with the ROG Strix GTX 10 ATT is a pair of those I've already worked with them before they're really really solid graphics cards very high-end gonna start with the air-cooled and maybe eventually water-cooled 'm for the motherboard we got the RG zenith extreme x 399 the highest end asus rog motherboard this board is an absolute beast it's completely feature pack so a perfect central home for this system for storage I have a collection of SSD starting with the nx500 the new corsair nvme this is a 400 gig drive so that's going to be a boot drive for the main system there's also an MP 500 nvme SSD this is a 960 gig drive so this is going to be a functional drive for video editing and then I got a couple for Cle SATA drives I'm gonna be using one of these as a boot drive for the FreeNAS build and then the other one will be additional storage in the main build here's the main CPU of course the rise in thread ripper in 1950 X which is currently out of its box the box is really just there for show but then of course on top of that we have the 2400 G shows this actually based on a recommendation from Windell because they can be under clocked and under voltage to run it very very power draw and also are compatible if you have the right motherboard with ECC memory and ACC memory is very good to have for a FreeNAS build I don't actually have my ECC memory yet but I do have this kit for the main build this is the Vengeance RGB set 128 gigs yeah this is the most memory I've ever put in a single system or on a single motherboard 8 by 16 gig 32 hundred megahertz kit and RGB lighting too so everything you could want in system memory I sure hope it plays nice with Red River the secondary system will be on a completely brand-new motherboard from Asus just launched this is the x4 70 - I gaming from there ROG Strix line this is probably a little overkill for - build but again I wanted something that would support the horizon 520 400 G processor and also have some expandability and of course that ever-important ECC support this also has like 2 m2 slots and some other cool features like that so we'll get that out of the box in just a sec for power over here we've got the corsair 8 X 1600 I which is 80 plus titanium rated 1600 watt power supply so plenty of power actually overkill actually I could even potentially run both systems off of this power supply but there will be an SFX power supply that hasn't arrived yet for the smaller system since the case does support both of those now I got a crazy amount of RGB LEDs going on in this case it is corsair sponsored so so there's some p5 of their commander Pro it's an RGB lighting and fan controller combo so hopefully I can connect up all of the fans since this case supports something like 24 fans they set me a couple sets these are the ll series of fans so it's got really cool RGB lighting effects I have a bunch of 120 millimeter fans they did send me a set of a hundred and forty millimeter fans there as well so I have plenty of options when it comes to outfitting this case with fans and this case supports lots of fans and finally if there wasn't enough RGB LEDs in the fans we've also got a couple RGB LED lighting expansion kits here from first there so I'm not exactly sure what's involved there but it is additional RGB LED strips so also works with the node pro and commander Pro so these should help to cast colorful lighting on areas of the cases that aren't reached by the fans I think it's important to set some goals for today so the main thing is going to be to get everything unboxed and then to get the main components into the system so I can figure stuff out for the upcoming custom water cooling loop also I need to figure out cooling for the processor so that should be fun too for now though I'm just going to get everything out of the box alright guys here's a first look at the case now that it's out of the box the box was very large this is a very large case this is one of the biggest builds I've ever done but fortunately it wasn't that challenging to get out you got to slide the top of the box off kind of like you would when you get like a new TV the side panels actually comes separate so there's no side panels on it when you take it out of the box although the front tempered glass panel is pre-installed right there and then of course there's another tempered glass panel that goes on this side and then one on the flip side on the back too there is also a tempered glass piece that goes along the top of the case I have not peeled the protective plastic off of that yet but that's all the tempered glass you get here at the back of the case you might notice extra power and reset buttons specifically for the mini ITX build because you can of course fits two systems inside this case now the first system is going to go right here in a pretty traditional orientation vertical it can support up to a ATX and Beyond motherboard sizes since there's plenty of space this entire top area here is mainly made for like radiators or reservoirs or whatever you want to put up there and the mini ITX build would go down here at the bottom so the i/o for that would be here facing at the back and these are the knockouts for your graphics card or expansion slots if you need them down there here's a look at front panel IO power resets for ya USB 3.0 ports you got a couple USB type-c ports right here and these are USB 3.1 gen2 so they do use the new connector internally and then you've got a mic and headphone jack as well so guys I've got everything out of the case and went ahead and removed all of the plastic you protective pieces on the tempered glass just FYI I am aware that you should usually wait until you've finished the build to take all those plastic pieces off I'm gonna try to use my nitrile gloves to keep from getting fingerprints and smudges on the case for the rest of the build but a couple things I wanted to mention about this case first is gonna be the price it's $500 MSRP five zero zero so so I hesitate to say five hundred dollars is a good price it is obviously very expensive it's a lot more than people typically spend on a case but given that this can actually handle two systems and it is fairly unique in a bit of a flagship item from Corsair remember the 900 D was Corsairs first case ever that they launched and that was a full tower case and that did very well for quite some time but if you guys come away from this video with a key piece of information it would be that this case does not ship with any fans so that I think is kind of the price trade-off that we're dealing with here more practically speaking this can of course support like up to 20 fans maybe even more than that depending on how you're configuring your radiators and everything but course there's reasoning for that decision is just that if you're building a really high-end PC and your custom arranging it that you might want to choose your own fans now that might mean that you choose Corsair ll series fans like I have chosen today or it might mean you have some other favorite type of fan that you want to integrate here so that's either a cool thing that courser didn't bother to choose your fans for you or a not cool thing because fans are expensive and outfitting this with a whole group of fans like 20 would significantly add to the base cost of the system all that said though let's round out the features by pointing out just a few more of them Corsair points out this is a three chamber design for this system one of Chambers is a power supply chamber for the main power supply down here at the bottom can support up to a 220 millimeter length PSU so it's pretty decent-size just about any high in power supply should fit in there the second chamber would be this main chamber I suppose and here's where your motherboard go both systems actually in this chamber so whether you've got a standard sized motherboard or EI TX or this also supports like Server sized motherboards like SSI CEB and that kind of thing plenty of cable routing holes and then they've also included some polls up there at the top so you can route stuff back behind the motherboard tray on the other side of the case over here there's doesn't seem to be a lot of cable management space that's because Corsair in order to keep things looking clean since there is tempered glass on this side panel as well they basically have hidden away the cable management area it's behind these doors so these are just held on by magnets just like the main side panels and you can swing them open to give yourself a look at the actual cable management zone so for cable management you get about three inches of space between the motherboard tray and these doors that swing out so maybe two and three-quarters inches plenty of space though here you can also see the pass throughs for those cable grommets and then we also have mounts they actually have four mounts here and four mounts here for SSDs or 2.5 inch drives it looks like they've mounted three actual drive mounts on either of these I haven't checked the accessories to see if you get additional ones of those and just checking our accessory package it doesn't look like you get additional 2.5 inch drive trays so bear in mind if you want to go beyond 6 you might need to get some additional drive trays from Corsair you do get some removable plastic drive trays here for your 3.5 inch drives and the case supports up to 5 3.5 inch drives which is actually one fewer than I need I was hoping for six figure it out there and then the last thing you might notice here is the commander Pro this is an obsidian 1000d version of the commander pro but it does appear to otherwise be the same except for that text that says obsidian 1000d this gives you a bunch of extra connection points for fans as well as LED strips and then you also get some temperature connection points there so you can put some temp sensors and then those extra USB connection points that allow you to daisy chain these together so can connect lots and lots of fans RGB strips and temperature readout points which is good because I have I have an extra five of these I feel like that's too many but I'll see how many I actually need in order to get all my fans connected up this is also what makes this case a smart case because if you connect up your commander Pro to your operating system via USB you can use it to monitor your fan speeds temperatures and then have the court share link utility automatically control those to keep everything cool and quiet in your system and here's a quick look at the included accessories in the Obsidian 1000 D you get some fan extensions since you might be needing to place fans in a position that is further away from your motherboard than a typical case this is a SATA adapter for providing power to the commander Pro this is an extension for that adapter these are temperature sensors they've included four of them so you can connect these to your commander pro position those in your case to get temporary doubts I've got a bunch of baggies of screws and standoffs fan mounts they are separately bagged so I always appreciate that finally a very decent stack here of velcro straps some zip ties as well as this bracket for your rear i/o and this will allow you to rotate your graphics card 90 degrees if you want them facing up instead of sideways so guys there's obviously more features to this case than what I've shared with you already but I don't think I'm gonna learn more about it unless I actually build a system in it so let's do that next here goes so you're on the back of the case there's an extra panel it's got some hex mesh built into it this is basically like are you going to use the ITX mount or nots if you're not you leave that on there it covers the i/o for the mini ITX it also covers up this space here which is where an SFX power supply would go to power your mini ITX build I'm still waiting on the SFX power supply for this build so I'm not going to get the mini ITX system all up and set up today but that's at least where it goes into the power supply installed this shroud needs to be removed in order to do that there's only two thumb screws one at the back and then there's one behind the motherboard tray right there and then I first I thought it was really hard to get off but it was just stuck a little bit so probably just since it's a newly manufactured product and then that pops out we can install our power supply also this removable filter for a desk for the power supply well guys the build is proceeding it is getting later in the day though and it's getting warmer here so I have to kind of figure out where we're gonna stop this phase of the build and then plan stuff for the next phase because part of the reason I'm getting everything set up in here so I can get measurements for cable extensions that last mods it's gonna do for me and also just got to figure out where all the fans are gonna go cuz I got a bunch of fans but not exactly the plan of where everything should fit now one thing that you may remember from when I first covered this when it was called called project slate at Computex is these really cool like drawer system before pulling out the mounts for your radiators and fans at the top and front of the case this will fit 340 millimeter fans or a 420 millimeter radiator and then up in front is where you can have up to 8 120 millimeter fans or 360 or 480 millimeter radiators and you can also do 480 millimeter radiators up at the top here as well though I think you need to swap this piece out these these are roughly the same size but it's got different mounts here so the tray in between so you could swap this top one with this one if you wanted to for right now in order to get a system running or at least half of the system running because the FreeNAS build at the bottom isn't going to be ready until the sfx power supply arrives I am going to take my single 360 millimeter radiator and mount that to the front with some of the ll series fans and I'm going to take some more ll series fans just to sort of flush things out give you guys a D an idea of how it will look lit up across the top and for an exhaust in the back alright guys I'm exhausted I'm kind of sweaty it's pretty warm in the garage and this is the most involved in complex build I think I've ever done for one accommodating to systems in the same case is a bit of a challenge and I'm not even connecting them all the way up right now the one thing I'm most concerned about actually is access to the power supply cage down here with the second system set up definitely when we go in here for the second try and we start integrating the water cooling stuff I'm gonna plug in pretty much all of my modular power supply cables there to make sure that if I ever need to plug anything extra in that I don't have to completely uproot this lower system in order to get at that cage beyond that though the LED implementation for this build is pretty complex and I'm only running with seven RGB LED fans now as opposed to twenty I also wanted to point out that I didn't fully populate the Front's of the case with all of the fans and that was pretty much because I realized I was going to need to mount this radiator up there I also need to provide something else to go along with part two I suppose but everything should be at least functional we hope we pray oh wow I'm so happy now like like I was I was a little concerned that if it didn't work that I would have an aneurysm or something like that but fortunately it is alright guys that is pretty much gonna do it for this video and I know what maybe you're thinking you're thinking Paul the bills not done that that system on the bottom doesn't even have a heat sink fan or like a power supply and I would say yes you are correct and that's been my plan this whole time I by no means was intended to finish this build today I wanted to give a first look at the 1000d since its brand new from Corsair and the successor to the 900 II after so long it's huge there's tons of room to work with in there not without its quirks but for 500 bucks I think people were looking for a super high-end case that can fit two systems in it I've been pretty impressed with it so far now of course I will have more to say after I finish this build and I will be installing water cooling stuff and actually using some of the additional space in the top and the fronts to do bigger radiators to actually fill out all of those fans across the front so that will look a lot more uniform you kind of do need to fill all eight of those fan slots in order for it to look normal for now though this is gonna have to do it I can't at least get the main system set up and I get windows loaded and maybe start messing with the Corsair software as well cos right now this is just the default fan set up with just plugging it in and turning it on also I need to reorganize these fans and make sure they're plugged in in the right order so we can get the actual full on of course they're lighting experiment going because that's something that despite the difficulty of setting it up once I do get it set up I think it's gonna look pretty cool but guys if you enjoyed this video definitely hit the thumbs up I'll put links to as much of this stuff as I possibly can down in the video's description so click on those if you want to help me out and finally thank you so much for watching hit the thumbs-up button and we'll see you in the next video
