Mini-ITX Watercooled PC FINALE! HotBox 2.0 Lives

2016-09-22
excellent what's up ladies and gentlemen boys and girls I'm here with the hot box build I'm moving on to stage 2 because as you might have known when I first built this for my wife a couple months back I was not 100% satisfied although it's been working just fine she's been using it and gaming on it I just wanted to do a few changes in a few updates so I have a new motherboard here from Asus z170 I pro gaming which I have modified to be color accurate and all that good stuff I've got a bunch of new fittings and everything from ek some new tubing I'm really ready to get to work I just feel like it'll be nice as maybe if I had a little help but you know give me just a second overclock yes dick holiest 370z then actually give it give it a second over cockiest get coleus 370z holy crap it work yes it never tried that one my mother just made a mess on the floor oh sorry hero hope I didn't catch you in the middle of anything Oh Oh J everyone J's 2 cents everyone go visit his channel it's in the description below sorry if I got you a bad time go wash my hands real quick that would be good event uh Jay's gonna help me out here actually glad I sent in the ball you shush so guys Jay's gonna help me out here once he's washed his hands of course thank God he wasn't in the middle of a bike ride and let's get on with the show so here's our plan of attack for today essentially we're going to be swapping the motherboard out that's kind of one of the main things and then a 6700 K is the processor now instead of the lowly 6600 K since it makes a lot more sense to water cool 6700 K and a 6600 K we're also going to be redoing read redoing redo big bit we're going to read it real good gonna redo some of these bends not all of them are going to try to keep maybe a couple of them and then this pump over here we're going to try to shift over a little bit maybe give a little bit of this bit more space between the power supply and the pump and then maybe add a drain down there at the bottom that's also an optional feature so anyway we have a lot of work to do we should probably start by draining this and taking it apart I concur J concur OJ's also got his new selfie cam he's he got this specifically for for recording selfies of himself you know he really likes it's for his blogging channel mainly I needed a better vlog yeah all right we're now at the phase of this build where everything or most of everything from the original system has been removed leaving at least a radiator in there and I've left the cables routed where they should be because I think those can pretty much stay as is next what's next uh you gotta rinse all your crap out oh yeah we're gonna need to rinse some stuff to get rid of the old dye and then we can start reassembling with the new motherboard J is checking to see if the sockets of these two motherboards are in the exact same so they're very close yeah I think yeah I think you're good they're different manufacturers it's some old ones a gigabyte the new ones and Asus but I think you're good I don't think you have to rebuild us nice I mean uh that's kind of a welcome relief that is save us a little bit of time a little bit of work we have the new motherboard installed and it hasn't been too difficult just getting different cables back where they should be this area here got really crowded so the USB 3.0 header on the old board was over here and I had that extension with it that extinction was actually causing some connectivity problems or maybe it was just kind of loose behind there or something so I'm using just the one that came with the case to connect that goes in right there then I've USB 2.0 right there for the NZXT hue then SATA and then front panel it's all right in that little Bank right there but they're all plugged in so that means there's room really thing I'm being watched and bigger mine's more portable I thought we're doing small form-factor today Jay see how smooth is there's no like standing it it's real of there's no there's no bird edge how much how much does that cost my 15 bucks I'm getting one pesky little nose it's a bad timing for me to record no I like I scratch the tube slightly but then I rode my finger over it I can't see it anymore so don't even know where he's got came right off yeah that's the nice thing about it greasy handle if I missed shorter needs to be a little tighter see when your water cooling in California sometimes you need the low-flow fitting you know because of the drought yeah nice to make is 22 compliant whatever it is a little kink in me yeah oh it's still hot we're now going to do the blow test which I normally don't do with Jay Sierra he insists you can hold Eric and dodgeball come on they're full of bacteria valve was opened right but the valve is open time is usually 2 valve like if it's perfect if it's parallel let me just open it to perpendicular means close yeah okay which may be sure you weren't doing it this little tested like through the bell works that was totally airtight all right we've glued it I like it we make it some sexy shots so guys you've probably been watching a montage and doing way less work than we have been doing but I hope you have enjoyed watching this video so far Thank You Jay for coming and helping me out with hot box 2.0 you didn't need my help I appreciated your help though moral support I

helpful thanks to all you guys for watching this video though it is full almost we're just been cycling through the liquid here with our pastel orange coolant I'm going to finish filling this up Jay's
