Corsairs knew ll series hydraulic bearing fans feature excellent air flow quiet operation and powerful lighting with 16 independent RGB LEDs across two separate loops available in 120 and 140 millimeter sizes and controlled by Corsairs lighting node Pro ll series fans can give your system a distinct and customizable look click the link in the description for more information hey guys how's it going and welcome to Pauls hardware this is my first video of 2018 and I'm actually off to a bit of a slow start this year mainly because I started the year off by being 6 so sorry if I'm still a little bit congested but this coming week is CES 2018 I've been going there for the past 7 8 9 year I don't know how long I've been going to see yes very long time but it's always exciting to go to CES because it's in Las Vegas there's lots of new technology it's a great way to kind of get a feel for the new products and stuff that are going to be coming out in 2018 so stay tuned because I gotta have a full week of coverage coming at you guys next week as soon as I make my way out to Las Vegas and if any you guys happen to be there and you see me around feel free to say hello other than that though we are of course gonna be editing videos while we're in Las Vegas so to that ends I am once again constructing a video editing PC that we can take on the road with us over to Las Vegas to get all these edit videos edited in a timely fashion now the first thing you guys might notice is that this is an intel-based system this is the RG Strix C 370 - I gaming for most of the parts that I'm using today I was just sort of scrounging stuff that I have available here in the office this is actually one of my only mini ITX motherboards and of course I need a mini ITX motherboard because I'm reusing the famed and infamous and very difficult to find Corsair graphite 380 T case not very good for taking if you need to fly somewhere but if you're able to carry it via the handle on top very convenient case to have and I like it it's the white version in that we're gonna put the motherboard and if any of you guys are saying hey Paul or aren't you man with a risin build for this because Rison has a little bit higher core counts and a little bit higher raw CPU performance available on it the fact is I don't really have a mini ATX rising motherboard available to me right now I put mine the one one that I had from gigabyte and these systems that I built for Rachel earlier this year so that's where that is so long story short Intel based system z 370 motherboard and then the processor is going to be of course 8700 K for any of you guys who were worried about that I lost my 8730 a I found it yes that's going in there so 6 cores 12 threads just slightly less than what we could get with a risin eight core 16 thread system but instead should get the job done just fine now we're gonna need a nice storage array configuration here so I got the 960 Pro from Samsung 512 gig that's gonna have the operating system Adobe Premiere and basic files on it for additional storage we've got a Toshiba TR 200 SSD this is a 480 gig version of that so that's probably gonna act as a scratch disk and for additional assets and that kind of thing and then I've got a SanDisk Ultra - this is a 1 terabyte SSD this is where raw footage is going to go so that you give us a nice assortment of drives lots of storage and different drives to put different things on which is very helpful when you're video editing and I have the 1070 TI here this has been used in just a few recent builds that I've done here in the channel but this is EVGA gtx 1070 TI it's a fairly small GPU so that's one of the nice things about it good cooler and I did have some GTX 1080s around but I couldn't find them so this will get the job done just fine for video editing you also want as much memory as possible so I got the corsair dominator platinum ddr4 3000 kit this is a 2 by 16 gig kit so even though we've only got two DIMM slots available on our motherboard over here we are still gonna have 32 gigs of memory which should hopefully be enough for Jo as long as he doesn't get into After Effects anything or anything like that to cool the CPU we've got the cryo rig h7 quad Lumi sorry it's it's in its unboxed state right now because I just pulled it off of another system but that'll keep our CPU nice and cooled 8700 K probably I'm gonna do too much overclocking or anything since it already runs at a pretty high frequency and then of course a 380 T case so there are our parts let's assemble this get it all put together so we can start loading it up and preparing it for CES it definitely helps when you're building a system if you've already built that system before have used several of the components in here internally and a few other systems just recently and we realized that this build is actually pretty much a recreation of the build that we did about a year ago for CES 2017 so it's got upgraded Hardware in there of course and it still all fits in there so there's been no changes to the 380 T from Corsair so any of you guys are still looking to pay grossly overpriced prices for this because if you look on eBay or whatever they like really expensive yeah probably not the most practical thing but there you can see our car rig h7 in there we get a little bit of our GB accents although that wasn't really the goal from the motherboard as well so that's nice to have other than that there's actually plenty of room still in there this case is made to support some amounts of water cooling and there's even a radiator bracket that you can see right here on the side although we're not making use of that going with a strictly air-cooled system and the front you got the intake fan and then over here where this side goes on will be the inside intake for the graphics card now with this powered on it's actually very quiet not doing any scientific tests right now but just anecdotally quite quiet and of course the EVGA gtx 1070 TI we're using does have the zero fan mode so since the GPU isn't warm the fans aren't spinning I was able to put two of the SSDs our 2.5 inch SSDs right down here and the little caddies that goes with and then we did add a 4 terabytes WD red drive that was sort of a late addition also neglected to mention the power supply for this build with CVG a 650 GQ also been used with several different builds that I've done just recently but thankfully although we were very limited on front to back space it's really crammed up against the drive cage right there I pre installed all the modular cables so we had everything connected that we needed to and then was just able to wedge it up against there and still had enough space to rat around the rest of the cables the last thing we discovered is reporting this together is that the motherboard the ergy Strix Z 370 - I gaming actually did already have a samsung 960 Pro nvme SSD fiber and 12 gig even pre-installed I had so I didn't forget that that was in there I told that was in there the whole time so we left that as is and that will be our operating system drives so last thing to do is just pop the side panels back on here and then of course get everything loaded when it comes to Windows and Adobe Premiere and any other software we need maybe scene games to speak a gaming system and guys it's gonna wrap it up for this build video this has been my build for editing at CES 2018 very similar to my build for editing its yes 2017 but very nice to have a portable case like a 380 t from Corsair so we can haul it over there since I will be driving anyway if you guys are gonna be in Las Vegas next week and you see me around definitely say hello thanks to all you guys who have watched this video and hope subscribe to my channel and 20:17 got a lot of stuff coming for you this year so stay tuned hit the thumbs up button on your way out and we'll see you next time
