the new arc 90 chassis by deep cool is a case and CPU cooling solution in one featuring an integrated captain series liquid cooling system with a 280 millimeter radiator and to RGB fans that's tied to a distinct external flow indicator combine this with high-end features like tempered glass side panels ei TX support and tasteful RGB lighting and the new arc 90 could house your next epic PC built click the sponsor link in the description to learn more what's up guys welcome back to pulsar where today's video is like the Empire Strikes Back of the riptides build Riptide is the new system I'm putting together just recently assembled part 1 in the corsair 1000d case which is a very large full tower case that supports up to 2 systems a full-size ATX sized system up here as well as a amount for a smaller mini ITX system down at the bottom I'm building this system to be a functional system that I'm going to use for the foreseeable future to edit videos as well as operate as a free nest so FreeNAS is gonna be the mini ITX build on the bottom bunch of hard drives then up here we've got a dual 1080 Ti is third or four 1950 X this is an all AMD system 2 by the way and then arisin 520 400 G APU powered system down at the bottom if you watched part 1 of this build you'll notice that I got everything together and functional but there's a lot missing now let's begin the middle video on the build I have a bunch of small tasks that I need to take care of things I needed to figure out that I couldn't quite figure out until I had the system put together and then of course the big question of all of these RGB LED fans as well as RGB LEDs how do you actually connect all these up get them functional and looking good in a case like this so I'm gonna focus a decent amount of time today on the RGB setup because it is fairly complex I got these Corsair LLC 120 millimeter as well some hundred and forty millimeter fans up at the top there those are controlled by the Corsair commander Pro and you get one of these pre-installed in the system and you can also add more because they can daisy chain together via USB so can I go over some of the more specifics of how you actually connect the fans up to this to control both the fan speed as well as the RGB LEDs and then I have other things here like you might have noticed I never installed an SLI bridge that's dead of a minor thing have a heat sink fan for the APU system the bottom and install some of the SSDs gonna install this 10 gigabit NIC that comes with the Asus enos extreme motherboard that's at the center of this entire build 10 gigabit NIC is probably something I'm gonna need you to add on to my home network to actually be capable of supporting but it's good to have that as well finally there are some logistical concerns for the FreeNAS system down at the bottom I need to figure out how to get my drive set up for that an operating system SSD and a cache drive I was considering using the annex 500 but I think I'm actually going to go with a riser card and then one of the MDOT two slots on the board more on that when we get to it beyond that got to get measurements done for the cable sleeving and then I think that will be all for today but there's also this one last thing this is an asus rog lootcrate showed up a few days ago and i'm going to be using some of these peripherals in here on the system once it's actually fully put together now if you want to see a full unboxing of all the stuff in here check out Kyle's channel he already did that but I for my part I'm going to take this out of loot crate right now so one of the dilemmas I encountered with this build since it is co-sponsored by Asus and Corsair was that both companies make peripherals so I was like alright asus or corsair whichever of you can send me like a loot crate made of wood and put your peripherals in that and that's whose peripherals i will use so here from asus we've got the RG Strix fusion 500 this is an RGB 7.1 gaming headsets Wireless I don't use wireless headsets that often so I will have to give this a shot try it out next up the RG Gladius 2 origin this is a gaming mouse it's got a detachable cable 12,000 dpi optical sensor and of course illuminated RGB logo and everything of course compatible with the asus or a sync software we've also got this guy right here of course also from the ROG line this is the RG RG Strix flare gaming mechanical RGB keyboard this one has a pretty cool effect in that it's got some lighting effects along the edges that lights a desk underneath the keyboard give yourself some of that desk lighting that everyone is so after so that should be interesting to give a shot as well Cherry MX red switches on since it is of course mechanical then finally we've got the RG scabbard which is a mousepad it's gaming it's a gaming mouse pad so guys I'm probably gonna take a closer look at this stuff once I actually get the system set up back in the computer room but for now if you guys do want a little bit better look at these products check out Kyle's video he did an unboxing of this loot crate because ASA set these loot crate's - quite a few of us youtubers out there and you know see what he thought of it look this even includes a rubber texture of the bottom I feel bad for not getting the nx500 out of the box in part 1 of this video it is a very pretty and substantially serious looking SSD and this does scale and capacity up to I believe 2 terabytes or at least one terabyte though this is a 400 gig version for the time being I am going to pull one of the attend eights yes and that's basically because these are effectively three slot 1080 T eyes due to the cooling solution on top we have dual spacing so we have four full-length PCI Express 6 by 16 slots it's a double space so with these cards in the top and third full-length slots they're blocking the second and fourth full-length slots which means our expansion cards cannot be installed and since I want to install the operating system on this I'm gonna get that in there now fortunately once we switch these to water cooling they're going to be a lot thinner so we will have access to these slots once again and of course adding this graphics card back in and setting up SLI won't be much of a challenge but getting this drive in to get the operating system set up is more important right now I mentioned this a little bit in the first video but this power supply shroud is also the mount for your mini ATX motherboards so if you need to get at the power supply you need to pull this shroud up which isn't that difficult to get out there's only two thumb screws that hold it in but if your mini ITX system is all set up so that might be slightly more of a challenge so what I'm gonna do right now is take any cables that I think I maybe might need in the future including my USB adapter here for Corsair link because all my peripheral cable plugs they're trapped in there and be really difficult to get at once the system's all put together this is important not just for future expansion possibilities but also just to make sure I can plug in everything I'm going to need to plug in because all these commander pros have their own individual SATA connector that needs to say to power and that so it can distribute additional power to all the fans of stuff connected to it and even these little breakout units there's two that come with each three fan 120 millimeter ll kits and these all have their own separate SATA power connector as well so I need to make absolutely sure I've got plenty of SATA power connectors not just for all that stuff and I'm gonna be adding four mechanical hard drives each will need a SATA adapter and then SSDs as well so need lots of SATA power this little added piece decided on this actually just this morning so ideally for the NASS we're gonna have all the drives connected for big storage and then there's going to be one SSD for the bsd freebsd to run off of and that's what FreeNAS runs on and then having a cache drive is also very useful and just recently obtained has been available and obtained is actually pretty functional as a cache drive for free Ness at least what I've been reading this morning so for now I'm gonna install this and this is just to get it installed and then I still don't have my main operating system SSD for this yet so we'll wait for that to arrive but this will at least be ready to go also have not confirmed the ECC memory I'm going to use with this board yet so for now just using this Corsair 3000 speed kits this is a very good kit to use with Rison very compatible works which has worked with every Rison system I have put together so far and runs at 3,000 speed which is a very good speed to run for a rising system also I cut myself so I've bled for this system the PC building gods have been appeased we're on another field trip that's tradition for the riptides build series we're headed to new egg we'll call pickup right now to get my 8 terabyte mechanical hard drives four of them thirty two terabytes total it's about $1,300 after tax money for storage but I got a shoot in 4k you know we've made it to the new a hybrid Center and the way that you know your professional new leg shopper if you come to will call is that the ready for will call pickup email came in while we were on the way and they get improved their hard drive packaging the BT rids WT Reds look a lot whiter than they used to for some reason these are red pros which means that 7200 rpm and 8 terabytes each so back here on the business end of the $1,000 that hide the cable management area and I didn't show the cable management area very much at the end of the first build for good reason look it's complete chaos back here there's a good amount of space width wise but you actually kind of limited in that you don't have any cable management area at the top or on the front right up here okay fortunately these French doors can lift up enough this one was kind of stuck but I tried the rear one before and that one was a lot easier so there you go so if you are doing a lot of work back here you don't need to worry about those swinging out and open also removing the tempered glass piece itself is very very helpful for it working back here now right now what you're seeing is all the cabling for that original builds I did attach these extra cables from the modular power supply so they'll be ready for when they are needed but there's more stuff that needs to go back here we're going to add one more commander Pro and that should be able to stick on somewhere around there and then there's also these little breakout units that came with the ll series 120 millimeter fans these come with the three fan kits there's actually a couple of them so you can plug this one if you're not going to be using a commander or some other form of control for the LEDs this will control themselves and you can beezie chain off of it this doesn't need its own SATA connector but we're not going to be using this piece we're just using this and this can control LEDs for up to six fans at once and then it will feed over and connect up to the commander Pro now the commander Pro you can connect up to six PWM fans to you could use a like a two fan splitter off of each of these to connect up to twelve fans for example but then you also have two LED control connection points there and you can use those to break out into those control units that I already showed you up there you have four temperature sensor connection points so you can use us with the included temp sensors and position them wherever you want in your case and then you get a couple USB 2.0 pass throughs since USB 2.0 headers on motherboards are becoming less and less common in fact I believe my Zenith Xtreme only has one you can connect one up to the commander Pro and then use this breakout to connect other USB 2.0 control necessary devices and that includes more commander pros if you want to daisy-chain them or you can also connect up like the USB lead from the X 1600 eye power supply for example so here's a quick walkthrough of how you would connect one of these Corsair ll series fans if you want it to work first off just like any normal fan for pin pwn plug so you can plug that into your motherboard or to one of the fan headers on the commander Pro if you want the Corsair link sufferer to be able to command control and since the rotational speed of your fans so that's the main functional bits for the LEDs you have this additional four pin header coming off of the fan and then you have this device known as the lighting node Pro and this will come with that 3-pack of fans that I have four of now it should be noted that the commander over here and the lighting node Pro have duplicate functionality so if you have a commander you don't necessarily need to use letting node grow this is what confused me first off because this is what you actually get some power for and then you also have a USB connector for that so you can plug it in again to one of your USB 2.0 headers on your motherboard but if you look at the pin outs here there are three pin headers whereas the fan has a four pin header for your RGB connection this is where I might start to get a little confusing to set up all your RGB because you've all got all these different individual breakout pieces but if I can try to explain this simply once this has power and once it's connected to your motherboard the RGB header on here will help control one of these and this has connection points for up to six fans you should also pay attention to the fact that these are numbered and that numbering is actually important because if you're doing fans that are right next to each other and you want them to all sort of blend together and look like they're putting on a fancy light show you need to tell this controller which fan you are connecting to which header now as mentioned our commander Pro here has two LED connection points so we can basically ditch this breakout piece and that is a little bit convenient for making things slightly simpler so all that is to say that there is a lot of wiring and cable management that still needs to go on back here not just for the RGB LED fans but remember all these hard drives and as these that I also need to connect up to so I've got some work ahead of me fortunately the current version of this build before all the water cooling stuff goes in I have 12 RGB fans I'm going to add eight total to the front so you guys can get the full look of the front three in the top and one in the back so that's that equals twelve right yeah 12 and what that means is I can use two commander pros to connect six fans to each one and then I also only need two of these little breakout pieces to connect up all the RGB LEDs to so I'm going to go dive into my strategic zip tie and velcro Reserve and then I'm gonna attack this mess wish me luck attempting to work smarter here rather than harder I am labeling all of these cables for the RGB LEDs so that hopefully once this whole rack is installed on the front of the case I'll be able to plug these into the proper connection points on the control box that's right I'm not sure if you can tell whether or not I've made any progress here Joe's help to mainly everything was my idea now all the fans of the front are mounted and I've gone through and labeled all of the fan headers the RGB ones with the proper order they're supposed to be in one three eight in the front up to 11 at the top and then number twelve at the back I'm also trying to separate this stuff out right now so got my RGB LED cabling off to the side over here power cabling at the center and this will allow me to hopefully get the power cabling routed where I want it and kind of cinch it down and out of the way and then provide me a little bit more room for mounting the LED stuff now because there's another phase for this build where I'm going to go ahead and add the water cooling stuff I'm probably not going to actually be able to mount this up here like for instance I would want to mount this other commander Pro towards the front of the case so I'd have easy connection for all these RGB connection points but that would cover where I need to get at to mount probably double reservoir in the future so probably just gonna have it hanging in there but I'll at least have stuff tidied to the point where it's at least hanging out where it shouldn't be I discovered a minor complaint with this case here which is that the far right power supply tray really sticks in there I think it's because when you pull it out it flexes a little bit Bowl then it makes it bulge out at the bottom and it's right up against the flat metal plate and so it just makes it more challenging to remove so because I'm probably gonna need to move my front commander Pro here I'm trying a temporary mount solution Joe suggested this was his idea just using some velcro and I wrapped another strip around the commander Pro just so I can stick it there kind of hold it in place it's not bad all right so all i need's happened now fans to plug into the hubs and then fan leds to plug into these controller guys alright guys I think we're at a point where we can try out the fans that we've connected up and give you guys a better look at this case fully kitted out with all of the ll series fans from Corsair the cable management area here is much improved I will note that there's a big area here at the top that I haven't tried to tie down again that's because I need to come back in here when we install the water cooling stuff and get at some of the stuff so I didn't want to tape everything down the way it should be but all the fans are properly labeled plugged into the LEDs in the proper order so hopefully once the software gets loaded up I can go and tell it what order to do all the fancy RGB stuff in gots to commander pros installed and then I have this big grip of extra cables down at the bottom tied away so that when we add more stuff more SSDs when I plug in these SSDs in the back for example I've got the cables ready to go for that now I did want to point out that my intent today was to also get the SFX power supply installed in there and connect it up but I ordered it from Amazon with one-day shipping and it's supposed to get here today by like 8:00 p.m. so I'm probably going to need to save that for the third video and the third video is going to include include the custom water cooling and I'm looking forward to that but I still have to do some measurements to get the cables and also of course get all the water cooling stuff on order and I can get all the radiators pumps GPU blocks and maybe even an upgraded CPU block for the threader Brune 1850 x2 I think to close out this video though we should probably turn this system back on so you see what those fans look like Joe can you assist should show them our technique for lifting it okay it's a two-man lift this is Joe's idea it has hard drives in it now - yeah ooh let there be light oh look they're in order so you can see the color that this one turns becomes the color on this one becomes the color on this one in it it cycles alright there's a train going by right now but I will say it's always nice when you set up a new system turn it on and the fans automatically adjusts themselves back down it's like really quiet right now in this alright guys that is Riptide phase 2 now complete feels much more filled out with all those fans in there this being an extremely large case really requires a lot of hardware to be installed so the fans being one and I still feel like there's a lot of empty space up in the top but that will be filled in once we get the water cooling stuff in there so stay tuned for part 2 coming very soon the thumbs up button if you enjoyed this
