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 what's up guys welcome back to Pauls hardware I have an epic system build for you guys today so I'm going to be putting together all the parts that you see here in front of me this is a white themed build mostly white I should say a little bit of RGB mixed in there too but it was all conceptualized and based around this case which actually arrived a month or two ago but it's the thermal take view 71 TG snow this is actually already launched in the black version it is pretty much all white except for some tinted tempered glass windows and I need a name for this built so maybe something snow related or something white related I don't know let me know in the comments if you guys have any epic names for this build I was thinking of like snow blinders Snow Crash or snow demon or maybe like it's no big deal could always just go with snow white that you might have Disney lawyers attacking me anyway comments in the comment section let's start off by going over the rest of the parts for this build so I actually want to start out with my choice for the graphics card which is the MSI titanium geforce gtx 1070 TI which i chose because it has white LEDs and also a nice black and silver aesthetic particular match really nicely with this case as well as the overall remainder of the parts for the build I do want to point out that this cost $500 retail right now and if I was actually building a system with the focus on performance I probably ditched some of the more expensive like RGB parts like the case for example is a at least the black version cost 170 retail it's currently selling for about 150 bucks on Amazon I've also got like you know a higher-end 360 millimeter radiator liquid cooler I would probably ditch some of the sirens stuff to upgrade the graphics card to a GTX 1080 or a 1080 Ti before I invested in all that other stuff that said this is a build for my youtube channel and it's got to look pretty so that's the main reason I chose this but to consider a higher end GPU if you're actually considering putting the system together I don't have a ton of RGB in this build but the team t4s delta memory kit here in white is going to be providing a decent amount of that this is the Delta RGB version and I got two kits here 8 gigs per stick so a total of 32 gigs this is ddr4 3000 speed memory and I've already used the black version of this in the build I did last month so it looks really nice especially when everything is set up and I'm gonna once again be pairing that with the team tee force Delta RGB SSDs I got 2 of them this time and these are the white versions now instead of the black version so hopefully going to find a nice visible place to put those side-by-side cuz cuz these look pretty cool and adds a decent amount of bling to your storage setup actually had a difficult time finding an all-white motherboard and for example there is a B 360 motherboard from MSI that's all white with a white PCB and everything but this is a higher-end build and I just didn't feel right going with a B 360 chipset so with asus prime z 370 - a cuz it's got white accents on there it's also a very solid all-around motherboard very good reviews and feedback whether you're looking at new egg or amazon and it only costs about a hundred and sixty dollars since this is a high-end build on intel's mainstream platform that being LGA 1151 for the socket z 370 for the chipset but the new version of LGA 1151 I of course had to go with the i7 8700 K I guess I could have gone with the new 8086 but I don't have one of those and I already had this one it's my engineering sample direct from Intel so 6 cores 12 threads and a great choice especially for a gaming PC to keep the 8700 K cool we have the H 150 I Pro RGB from Corsair newest 360 millimetre radiator all in one liquid cooler with the new ACE tech hump block combo units - also got some RGB on that I do also have the thermal tape 360 rad version but I thought with the black white silver theme actually the block on this one I think will look a little bit nicer and finally for power the old standby the EVGA 750 g3 80 plus gold rated PSU and once again using the sleeve to cable kit that EVGA uh sells separately that you can buy for the 750 g3 they sell these for a lot of their power supply kits but I think this will look a lot nicer than using the standard cables it's also been somewhat pre-wired from the build I did last month and I'm kind of lamenting that I don't have like a house set of all white cables because I think that would actually look really nice in this build but for the time being this will work so here's a first look at the unboxed views of anyone TG snow as you can see pretty much all whites some black accents like on the drive trays the bit of mesh to some mesh behind this front tempered glass piece as well as the fan and the grommets but it also looks somewhat silver and I think that's just because they have grey glass for the tempered glass panels sits on the front both sides left and right side as well as the top here's an interesting thing they've done for the front IO they've little plugs in them plugs on the front IO but IO is pretty standard two USB 3.0 a couple USB 2.0 mic and headphone jack but of course love to see a USB type-c up here but can't get everything all the time there is a reset button right here though and then the power button is actually touched in there over here side panels are held in place at the top front here and the bottom front here by some pretty hefty thumb screws there's a rubberized spot right behind them and then they swing out like so on hinges at the back and of course you can look them off if you need to I should also mention that I'm always on the fence about what to do about the peely stuff here I know you guys love the peeling of this off of all of the tempered glass pieces but then whenever I do it there's a bunch of people who say no you should leave it on until the builds finished which is a more practical way of doing it so here's here's one at least I'm gonna peel that off yeah it's gorgeous alright I had to get my fix after you move all these thumb screws the big ones are for the side panels the smaller ones are for the front and top panels you can actually remove those tempered glass pieces so that's not too difficult it's also good that they have provided a decent amount of spacing here so that there's actually a decent amount of gap between the front and the top panel and where air would need to either be exhausted or in taked in taked sure that's a word and as reviews of the original view 71 have proven the airflow on this case is actually pretty decent now the front piece and the top piece are removed by the old-school grab and yank method so just grab to the back and pull and you can lift that top piece off I initially thought this dust filter underneath was a little bit janky but I did find out it's magnetized and it's flexible and it's got these little tabs along there as well so if you tuck the magnetized parts up underneath the tabs you can get it to rest in there with the fair amount of stability and sturdiness so I wouldn't call it the most user-friendly dust filter but I'd much rather that it is there than not there you got a similar situation on the front panel here and they have actually added metal strips to the plastic frame so that the magnets on the dust filter will attach and get you a reasonable situation to work with here when it comes to dust filtration beyond that for radiator support you're pretty well set up with the view 71 you can do 360 or 420 millimeter radiators at the top and this bracket is removable with the four thumb screws two at the back in two at the front and you get the same radiator support for the Front's intake here although that bracket is not removable behind that you have some drive cages here they've included two of them with for actual 3.5 inch drive trays these are pretty standard somewhat flexible plastic mounts that you can pull out to slot your 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch drive into and then replace like so behind now the main motherboard tray has some black rubber grommets for routing your cables through in this case does have support for the somewhat ubiquitous now vertical GPU mount with a two slit a CH Montera the back and they've even included a bracket to help prevent sag on that GPU what they have not included though in the accessories which are right here is an actual PCI Express extension so that will be sold separately if you need it Thermaltake does sell those including very long so that's an option but since I don't have that I'm going to be removing that bracket and just going with the standard GPU mount down here at the bottom you got another intake you could possibly mount a couple hundred and twenty millimeter fans for and then there's a full-length dust filter that you can pull out from the back that will provide that filtration not just for the power supply but also for that intake at the bottom and then around here on the back of the case we can see there is plenty of space back here for cable management so I approve of that there's a couple removable trays actually one here and then a couple over here these actually have 2.5 inch mounts on there so you can add a bunch of 2.5 inch drives one two three four five and six on top of whatever you might be able to fit in the cages up front these panels actually are removable and that will provide you access to the back of this rail system and if you do want to remove those drive cages which are held on by Phillips head screws you can do that and then there's some various mounting points here for pumps radiators or reservoirs I believe these panels provide a secondary function of giving you a little bit of a way to hide your cables since this does have tempered glass on both sides by putting that there and then feeding all of your cables up to maybe one of these pass throughs you could potentially hide some of that so my first impressions would be seems like a pretty solid layout for the case I'm not the hugest fan of the dust filtration here but I am appreciative that it is there at least and that you can remove these internal magnetic filters from the panel's themselves but if you are going to do your zest dust filters like this I suppose it is good that these entire panels are pretty easy to remove and they don't conflict with the front IO so you can pop those off to clean them without necessarily messing with anything else when it comes to wiring in your case one final critique I have is the printing here actually up on the front I oh it's just a little sloppy it's not as clean as I feel like it should be so then we'll take that's maybe somewhere you could approve improve on in the future first I couldn't figure out what these little rubberized pieces were in the accessory kit then I realized uh they're actually the stand off feet for the power supply I'm not sure if this is how it's going to ship or if it's just because I got a pretty early sample of this but remember to install these before you install your power supply the build is coming along I've decided to go with pretty much all white LED fans here so it ships the case ships with 240 millimeter White's LED thermaltake fans I tried to kind of space them out a little bit first that X while still providing plenty of front air intake for the rest of the fans in the case I've gone with these of course era maglev fans and these have white LEDs in them I've actually had these around for a while and I just realized I had enough of them to do this job so I replace the fans that shipped with the H 150 I Pro with these maglev fans and they have a central white LED hub so I think that'll look pretty cool add one back here for exhaust as well to provide some more uniformity in the case and then a couple more changes for one Jo notice that the SSD mount tray here that we had mounted these two behind the motherboard tray is the same exact configuration as the two that are back here now it doesn't seem like there's a native front facing as this d-mat if you have fancy RGB LED SSDs like ours but we did discover that if you're willing to provide a little bit of force and just the tiny bit of flex on the steel frame you can swap this around to this side and still get it to mount again it takes a little bit of pressure to do that but this will give us the ability to mount our SSDs on the front here and it will also provide me an excuse with doing it not as good of a cable management job in the back because now I don't need to show you guys the back side with the SSDs mounted we didn't flip them a hundred and eighty degrees so that they be facing the right direction and the SATA power and data cables are going to be on this side unfortunately I don't have any good pass-through right here I'm really going to have to bring those over to this grommets or possibly go down to here oh and one other thing the bracket for our radiator mount up here at the top can actually be shifted there's holes not just where it's at but actually to shifted up that way and I think even though we have plenty of clearance up here with our single push configuration I think I'm going to shift this up a little bit just to move it away from the motherboard and make things a little bit more spaced out all right guys all of the major components are installed and I spent a reasonable amount of time doing cable management on here just to show you guys really quick with that yeah yeah it's not bad okay more to the point though it's time for our first inaugural test boot so up further ado things are looking up two of our maglev love fans I know that's s DS not like we got T force our jeebies though and I think probably during the cable management back here I disconnected those oh really thermal take this is a faux pas right here I don't know I don't know how I feel about this I kind of got it it's extra tempered glass sticker here with ghetto adhesive but does not want to come off cleanly at least not with that a perfect slow peel I'm gonna have to clean up that bit in the corner so I was able to troubleshoot the problem with the fans there was just one fan that was not connected at the top here I had to plug slightly up there and then the one that was coming down to the bottom I actually had two splitters up at this bottom plug running the front two fans as well as one of the top fans from the radiator so I just switched those splitters around and replug them in and then everything lit up and it was looking very pretty except for the SSDs what I forgot completely as I was setting up the parts for this build is that the SSDs use addressable RGB is the five volts three pin plugs this motherboard does not have that connector fortunately I have a few random RGB LED things hanging around such as little individual control boxes so I tried a couple different ones and I ended up using one of the cooler master ones so that's plugged in back there via SATA and that one actually has some controls on it so I was able to cycle through and get us an appealing RGB blend on our front SSDs and that was really necessary because it wouldn't really do to just have them off but now they're lit up and you can get a bit more appreciation of the RGB speaking of RGB doing the white LEDs with the case fans and then having a little bit of RGB in the system itself I'm still kind of on the fence about one thing it's definitely shown to me is that white LEDs are not always white especially if it's an RGB LED like the LED on the side of this graphics card for example is our GB whereas the fans are just white but even the all white LEDs in the case like the White's LEDs on the front Thermaltake fans and the white LEDs on the top Maglev fans from Corsair are not exactly matching up so here's an example of why you might want to sort of veer towards a single source for all of your lighting needs thermaltake for example has a pretty wide array of RGB fans and an entire ecosystem was software they've developed that around that I was just kind of using stuff that I had on hand as well as just a few of the parts that were sent specifically for this build but all that said I think things are still looking pretty nice here and I think that's because the whites sort of ties everything together whether you're talking about the black the silver or the red green and blue colorful LEDs or the white LEDs so guys I will put the links to the parts that I've used in this bill down in the description but one final warning to you guys if you didn't catch it at the beginning I do not recommend building this system as is without giving some consideration to an upgrade on the graphics card because that is a core component that will give you more performance versus a lot of the other stuff that's integrated into this build which is a lot more for aesthetics and I usually go for performance before aesthetics so consider a 1080 or a 1080 Ti before you invest in everything else that's all for this video though guys so definitely hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it and of course check the description once again for links to all the parts I used as well as a link to my store where you can support me by buying shirts mugs pint glasses or other useful stuff thanks again so much for watching and we'll see you next time
