so for the past two years I have built a computer to take to CES in January that's both portable and powerful I'm doing it again for the third year in the row and continuing the use of this case right here the often sought after Corsair 380 t it's discontinued but people still like it and it still gets used and every time I do this build people are like let me have that case but other than the case I have a very powerful system set up here we're using the 2700 X we have an r/t X 20 80 TI this is what Joe is gonna be editing on as we bring you CES coverage for the following week I'm gonna go over the parts here but first I wanted to look back at the past couple years two years ago when I first built this system in a mini ITX form factor I was able to put in a 6700 K a quad core eight thread CPU and I also paired that with a gtx 1070 the next year I did to the core i7 8700 K which is six cores and twelve threads this year I have the option of either the 2700 X from AMD or the 9900 K from Intel both of them have eight cores and 16 threads I would have gone with the Intel but I'm actually kind of using that in the system back here more on that in a future video so for today I'm with the 2700 X let's take a look at the rest of the parts I love having all the parts arrayed for your fresh new builds but again we are starting with the risin 7 2,700 x8 core 16 thread CPU from AMD and of course there's gonna be people who are like oh the 9900 K would have done you better trust me guys I was really close to using that but it is in use and I need it for the next couple of days and this system needs to get set up so it's ready to go for on the road so nothing wrong with this at all eight cores 16 threads plenty of processing power for rendering our videos and also the retail box for it still which is nice you're gonna pair that with the B 450 I horas Pro Wi-Fi from gigabytes which is a very nice full-featured mini ITX motherboard which has an MDOT 2 slot as well as a pretty cool look to it with some silver heat sinks going on if you have a 20 80 TI to use you should probably use it so that's what I'm doing with the gigabyte geforce r-tx 2080 TI this is the gaming OC 11g which does come manufacturer overclocked and it's also got a three fan cooling solution also not terribly huge as graphics cards go which is nice since we are building in a somewhat more limited space for a power supply we have the cooler master v6 50 80 plus gold pretty small power supply all black cables so it's been a solved one I've used it multiple builds in the past for a cool roof got the hyper 212 black edition I was going to go with a water cooler in here but I want to keep things simple and with an air cooler there's just zero chance of anything failing apart from maybe a fan but even if that happens we can swap that out pretty easily from memory I have two sticks of course their vengeance RGB these are 16 gigs per dims so we're gonna have 32 gigs total funny story I only have 10 16 gig dim ddr4 sticks they're all in Riptide so I actually stole these two from Riptide these are part of 828 gig kit but they'll work for us in a pinch and I won't need Riptide since we'll be on the road so that's our memory and finally for storage we're going all solid-state no spinning mechanical hard drives here we have a 960 pro 512 gig for our main operating system drive and then we've got a 1 terabyte SanDisk Ultra 2 and a 2 terabyte crucial em X 500 so 3 terabytes of raw SSD storage space plus 500 gigs for operating system and programs so those are the parts we're working with today I think this is going to be a pretty awesome and portable build so let's get started putting everything together my recent bathroom remodel has reinforced that you should always double check that things fit before you go ahead with proceeding as as if it will and a double checked if this will fit and it won't so I need to switch to something else I'd rather not try to wedge in a water cooler in here for the same reasons I talked about at the beginning of this video but we used the cryo rig h7 in the past I have an h7 quad Lumi here the quad Lumia is updated to be compatible with a m4 so gonna be removing the hyper 212 back black swapping this in and then I think we're gonna get a little fancy too and add some Noctua NF a 12 X 25 pwm fans as well so I was hoping to have to go through three different aftermarket coolers in this build not really but what we have also discovered is that the h7 is also just a little bit too tall to fit in here I think this is because the a m4 socket itself is a little bit higher up than the LG a socket that Intel uses and that's what we've used the past couple years Intel CPUs so not enough clearance I am breaking down and switching to a liquid cooler that's gonna be the inner max local fusion 240 right here which I chose because this case only accepts a 240 millimeter radiator all in one liquid cooler and it was the first one that I grabbed that was the right size and I've already done a test fit here and yes this should fit and have enough room for the actual cooler to get over to the socket and I'm still going to use not too advanced I was not expecting this build to get this complicated but 200 millimeter fan here from NZXT has a non standard 200 millimeter mounting points so can't mount that the only other Turner millimeter fan I have is this thermal take ring 20 which is a very nice 200 millimeter fan but it's also RGB and thermal takes RGB fans have a single plug so you can't just be like I don't care about the RGB I want to plug this fan and just have it work you have to use this controller box controller box requires its own power connection to the power supply requires a USB connection the motherboard and then and then you can plug your fan into that I'm regretting this decision already but I've already made it so we're pressing forward to install our tuner millimeter fan up here in the front remember what I just said about we're getting this decision already all right we're switching back to a 140 up here that's it's not worth the effort all right I put a Corsair light loop in there fortunately these have separate plugs so I'm just gonna be plugging in the fan power not the RGB since I don't want to bother installing an RGB controller in there once I get this motherboard installed it's gonna be difficult to reach a lot of the plugs on so I want to do the plugging as I put it in and while it's out here and loose so I'm also gonna be mounting the cooler on top of that but I have four fans in this case two on the radiator for the CPU on one the front intake and the rear exhaust front had taken the rear exhaust I'm gonna wire up to the fan controller on the case and that's just got a separate SATA power that will power both of those the two fans for the radiator I've put a little fan splitter on so those can both plug right into the CPU fan header then there's one more plug here and that's for the inline pump on the cooler and that will plug into the extra fan head around the motherboard of which there are one which is right down here and with the graphics card installed I believe everything is good to go with the system so I have plugged it in the power I've switched on the switch we have some memory that's lit up so there you have it guys the CES 2019 build is completes of course we need to get windows loaded up and get all the software set up but fortunately for now the system is working so we can proceed with that guys I'm so excited to bring you CES coverage this year in 2019 so if you're excited to leave a thumbs up on this video and if there's any products coming out soon that you think might be launching at CES leave me a comment in the comment section below and let me know what you think that might be and maybe I'll try to cover it next week from Las Vegas Nevada thanks again for watching this video guys and we'll see you next time
