the k63 wireless mechanical gaming keyboard from corsair can connect your computer via ultra-fast one-millisecond 2.4 gigahertz wireless technology or low latency bluetooth and features perky blue leds 15 hours of gameplay on a single charge and genuine Cherry MX switches its lap board ready to so click the sponsor link in the description for more information hello everyone and welcome to Pauls hardware today's video is about our GB and has RGB gone too far this is a part 1 video so there will be a second part coming up and I have this entire build a rage here in front of me I'm gonna put this together today but I'm a little sad about it I'm a little torn I'm not exactly sure what to do because ever since MSI launched their godlike gaming motherboard back in like 2015 or whenever that was RGB has been everywhere you can't really escape it when it comes to building a gaming PC and so I am fully embracing it with this build this is over-the-top RGB just about everything has some RGB elements involved except maybe the power supply because I have to maintain my dignity somehow but I'm gonna assemble us together we're gonna take a closer look at teams t force delta r gb SSD adding to the list of RGB things you can have in your computer and once i get this all put together i would like you guys to let me know in the comments whether you think RGB is awesome or it sucks or if you just don't care that said this is also a pretty powerful gaming pc when it comes to the core components we've got a 2700 X as well as the Vegas 64 graphics card so let's take a closer look at what's actually gonna be installed in the cooler master H 500 P white so the case is the H 500 P white as just mentioned it's got the mesh in the front so it's actually got good airflow the redesign of this case has been getting really good reviews so I'm excited to be building in it and the white finish should provide a lot of reflective cover for all of our RGB stuff 2700 X is the CPU this is pretty much the highest end CPU that AMD has on their mainstream platform that's a core 16 thread processor and it will boost itself up to like 4.2 + gigahertz on a couple cores so very nice CPU crossfire 7 hero motherboard from asus is going to be the core of our system and i needed something that had possible digital RGB header on it as well as the ASIS or a software which will combine with like the graphics card and I believe our master liquid stuff is also compatible with it can I double check on that yes it is got the Aces or a sync support graphics card just sticking with AMD theme is the RX Vega 64 also from Asus also compatible with the entire RGB ecosystem that we're going for here and then of course kind of the the source of this build the reason why I'm putting it together and showing you the RGB everything is that team recently since over this night hot kit of RGB memory also or a compatible really cool RGB element designs on the top of the dims and a nice flavor difference from the g.skill RGB stuff that I've been using for quite some time and then of course the tea force Delta an RGB SSD did you guys think this was a necessary thing I'm not sure I'm still waiting on your feedback but I'll install it and show you guys how it looks rounding things out we got a 750 watt 80 plus gold rated EVGA supernova power supply solid power supply and I've got the black cabling kit for that as well which is nice and then for our cooler the master liquid ML 240 our RGB with RGB on the block pump RGB on the fans and since I've got this master fan expansion kit I might even go push-pull on that since I've got some extra hundred twenty millimeter RGB fans so they are the parts I want to get this put together and then I will show you guys the end results let's get started I'm sorry I gave that to him too as a gift oh my god how did that I did not know how it's a DK there's an 8 - 51 type 3 class a solid state it's fine Joe knows it to be dissected later on I try to catch it I'm sorry I really just lining up the CPU and the cooler mount right here and noticing if we position it this way the tubing comes out on this side and it might still fit but some potential clearance issues with the RAM there and I can flip it this way but then our logos upside down so I have just discovered on this new cooler master on one yeah look at that it just slips off sweet it's got four little brackets in there so you can rotate it 90 degrees 180 degrees or or opposite the same rotation Thank You Coolermaster I'd like this feature on your all-in-one liquid cooler so I'm feeling pretty silly right now because I completely ignored the fact that this case has a very convenient feature for installing a CPU cooler a liquid cooler like this one which is that the entire top bracket for it comes off so you can mount everything outside the case and have a much easier time we're in the homestretch here guys but I have noticed that I have a bunch of little three pin digital RGB leads coming at the back of the case from all the fans and stuff Coolermaster has included this little piece right here so this has some built-in controls on it so you can control the RGB LEDs or if you have a motherboard that you want to use and use this as a splitter it's got inputs over here so 12 volts and the 3 pin for digital control so this is the older-style plug this is a newer style plug feed these ever from your motherboard and then it will feed your mother Berg controls through to this means you have to be plugged to and we got a bunch of three pin connection points on the sides there we've got some other leads here you can actually use this to pass through your front panel connectors I'm not doing that today but and then a few more connection points on the side powered by Sita so guys at this point all the hardware is pretty much installed in the case and what I'm realizing is that I have seven different digitally controlled RGB devices for fans at the top one more at the back makes five the control for the pump in the middle has a digital control that makes six and then seven for our team t force Delta down here we've also got these two front fans but those are just using the four pin control rather than the three pin so I've just taken those they're on a splitter and I plugged that directly into the motherboard so a good day I'm actually really happy you chose this motherboard from Asus because it has two digital outputs the three pins for RGB control and it also has two non digital outputs for RGB control the four pin ones so I have an extra four pin still so that's good I'm going to need to take one of those digital outs and plug one of these devices in directly I can plug three of them into this and then I'll need to use the fourth output on this to work as an input on this little guy and this little guy came along with the liquid cooler this is just another little mini control device doesn't control quite as many devices but it does have a splitter so it controls three so that'll let me do 3 plus 3 6 of 7 and then the seventh I can plug directly into that final 3 pin out on the motherboard it's a magnet oh I like that let's get a magnet it's a magnet some mega - hey good job Coolermaster good thinking well okay guys I now have a built computer here next to me with RGB LEDs wired up I've only wired up the control unit at the back right now so I can turn the system on and give you guys a bit of a light show since I guess that's kind of the underlying theme of this whole video of course I will be able to wire this up to the motherboard once I get the operating system installed but for now let's flip this switch and we have a power button let there be light waiting to say that so guys here's a look at my completed build with many many RGB s going on everywhere and I think this looks pretty sweet although of course I am providing this for your feedback to let me know if you think RGB has actually gone too far these days yeah I'm not even taking it as far as I'm going to I have a follow-up video planned for this one and I have something special I think I'm gonna be able to show you when that comes about but for now we have the two large 200 millimeter RGB fans at the front providing intake and those are good fans they're nice and quiet they move lots of air those are not addressable RGB so so you can see the entire fans kind of shift color from one to the next as opposed to the addressable RGB fans with hebt which have individual RGB s that can change different colors which is why the different parts of the fan blades there are different colors there's also addressable RGB in the Coolermaster pump there at the center I like the look at this of this it's a little bit more subtle and you can just sort of see the RGB behind there which shines through at the edges a little bit steam night hot kit of RGB memory this is my first time using this I like the defaults out of the box flashy dance that it does kind of gives you a little little light show there that's pretty cool and since the top fans for the master liquid ml 240 our RGB are the same as the one in the back they're gonna look pretty much the same I was barely able to fit this push-pull configuration in here in case anyone was wondering if this is gonna fit I did have to put a little bit of pressure on the top of the motherboard on one of the heat sinks but it did fit in there without too much difficulty here's a look at the exhaust for those two fans on the top there is a plastic piece right here but there's a decent amount of space there and I can actually feel the air coming out on the sides right here from those fans so they are getting some decent amount of airflow there and finally the team t force delta SSD if you're gonna invest in an SSD with RGB lighting you definitely want a case that can display that the only thing I'm wishing I had here was the second one because this case has two nicely positioned SSD trays again a little bit of a crimped spacing issue back there depending on the front panel connectors you're gonna plug in to the motherboard but I think this looks pretty nice definitely stand out a lot more you can have a lot more people being like hey what SSD is that but for a case like the H 500 P where you can have it here or like some NZXT cases that allow you to position it right here I think that's a pretty cool device of course though it's up to you guys to tell me how cool you actually think it is and finally I have reinstalled the tempered glass side panel to give you guys the completed look and I have to admit I was a little skeptical about this build when I started out earlier today I was like I want to make an all RGB system now that it's all put together I think it actually looks pretty cool but let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below of course I'll post links to the products I've used today in the description as well so click on those if you want to help me out they are affiliate leagues so I appreciate when you guys clip those I get a small commission when you buy stuff from Amazon after clicking my links that's all for this video though guys thanks again for watching and we'll see you next time
