what's up guys welcome back to Pauls hardware today's video is on yet another gtx 980ti it's this one from gigabyte and hey everyone welcome to pauls hardware I have another gtx 980ti video I'm gonna share with you guys today and this one's from gigabytes g1 gaming ok hey guys Paul here with paul's hardware and today we got another 980ti video I'm gonna be going over this g1 gaming from gigabyte alright you know what guys I think I need to set this aside and I have a confession to make it's it's something that's been weighing on me for quite some time but this morning it really struck home as I was getting ready for the live show and you know I could sit here and explain it to you guys all day but I think the best thing to do is just show you what a sham life I've been living actually is this is what you guys typically see this is this is my setup this is the desk and back there everything's looking pretty clean pretty nice I'm really really happy with the desk that I got set up and all this good stuff everything's pretty clean pretty organized you can come out here and get my work done even the area over here which still has lots to be done this that's storage and things that still need to be organized and whatnot everything's pretty happy and that's this is this is the facade this is what I show you guys every day but you know what let's go let's go deeper into the depths of my home and share share a dark secret so here we are this is the computer room this is my wife's desk on the right side which is in reasonably good shape this over here on the left is my desk this is where I actually do most of my video editing the arctic panther is great for it but I like to come back in here it's it's a great place to get work done however if you can't tell immediately it's just in shambles you know there's this front that we present to people when we're making the videos that we have these clean desks with like LEDs in the background and everything and and that's really just not what I've got going on here this is all like tax paperwork that I have to get done I'm doing other I have this other ongoing projects and organization stuff like this it's right here that's it that's a mini DV camera see cuz I got I got these old mini DV tapes that I need to capture and I'm working on setting that up you know all these ongoing projects but it just leads to a lot of clutter but you know the clutter is something that I could take care of pretty quickly the real shame the thing that I'm terribly terribly just just I want to hang my head about is this computer right here I don't know if you guys can hear it but it's definitely a lot louder than it should be a lot louder than I would consider acceptable especially when I'm critiquing other people's computers and speaking of critiquing other people's computers Kyle and I do that all the time we look at people's computers and we're like oh you should fix this or fix that or whatever but you know what let's take this out let's you know what daylight is the best disinfectant so they say so let's take this outside and get a closer look all right so everything is disconnected I'm out here in the backyard you might notice I've got some some fields back here that's gonna be some corn maybe some okra kale I don't um NAR he's also lounging in the Sun but here's here's my three main issues with this system okay issue number one I'm using a stock heatsink fan granted it is a stock LGA 2011 heat sink fan which is a little bit more rare but it's still not the greatest I think I might drop in one of my air cooling unit there my liquid cooling units that I have since that would go in there pretty easily issue number two of course is just dust in general since I haven't cleaned this in quite some time I don't know if you can see up here but yeah those families there those are pretty nasty so getting to pull those out and maybe clean them off or I might replace him - that's a possibility the graphics card could probably use some cleaning that's a GTX 780 by the way and then probably in the worst case of hip hypocrisy for me is this rat's nest of cables and SSDs just down here and there's like a 3.5 inch drive that I just kind of set in there and stuff like that all pretty embarrassing so I need to reposition some of these drives may reduce some of those cables and just get everything a little bit tidier so hopefully things will calm down as far as the noise go things will be cleaner and I'll feel better about critiquing other people's computers once this is in better shape in case you guys are wondering this is the system the x79 build that I put together and my how to build a computer video which is a year and a half two years old and that now but then still kicking strong and still a great option for video editing and that kind of thing so until I move over to Arctic can through full time this is still getting tons of use so definitely worth fixing up and getting in good shape again at the tools I have lined up for this job are the vacuum cleaner which I'm only going to be using on the outside so I'll use it to suck dust off of the front and suck dust off the back and off to the top maybe the bottom as well but I do not ever use the vacuum cleaner inside the case apart from that my school collection is pretty standard for this job which is a screwdriver of course to remove things that's necessary some canned air and I have a toothbrush which is great for getting dust off of stuff and then for for stuff that requires a bit more finesse I have this little it's an old makeup brush of my wife's which is great for just dust and stuff off that's nice and delicate I gotta say I'm really happy I moved outside to do the majority of the breakdown of what was going on here because there's tons of dust on many of the things not least the stock heatsink fan that's LG of 2011 this thing is way more cake with death dust than I thought the Hall of Fame graphics card the GTX 780 from galaxy this is a pre Galax card also super caked with dust so I think I'm actually I'm not going to reuse this card for now this is the 780 because it's I think this might be a good use case scenario to show how to clean a graphics card and disassemble and everything so maybe I'll save that for a future video I'm not gonna reuse the stock heatsink fan either although I will be cleaning those both off eventually so I'm gonna swap in a stock 980ti because it's been sitting in the background and I might as well put it to some better use and then also for the CPU cooler I'm going to go with the fractal Kelvin t12 this guy right here and I'm choosing this because one it's already set up for LGA 2011 I was using this on the test bed up in the corner back there although I went with an air cooler now because it's a little bit easier to move around this has been tested and run a few times so I'm confident you know it's all good to go and everything and then other than that I got the fans that I pulled out I'm gonna be putting those back in but I will be reconfiguring them because I realized that I have a fan hub back here and actually I also have the fan controller that's built into the the Corsair 760 T here so I'm gonna use those rather than plugging the fans into the motherboard which was what I was doing and this motherboard is an older gigabyte c7 x79 motherboard and these lower fan plugs that I had it plugged into don't have fan control I can't control the speed so that should solve my fans being loud problem dust is mainly cleared out although there's still quite a bit caked on I've gotten quite very dusty doing this little project but anyway let me finish this out and then I'll give you guys a Grand Tour of it once it's all finished well everybody I don't know about you guys but I'm feeling much better about my progress today look how clean look how pretty she is everything's where it should be my biggest like dilemma here was was making sure that all the tribes which were connected in very specific locations because that's um raid configuration setup I had to make sure that as I was moving those and unplugging them that ivory plugged them back in the same way other than that everything's like just way way cleaner there's a lot more space up in here for airflow to get back I mean everything was working fine before it's just I felt so bad with how what kind of a shambles it was in I originally had a 240 millimeter closed-loop cooler up here the pump failed on it and I had to pull it out and at that point was when I really did some rush stuff to like drop some more drives in and all that stuff so all the drives are now either in the cage down here or the SSDs back in their little 2.5 inch slots back there new graphics card is installed CPU coolers installed as well just a couple moments of truth here how about some power there we go and the moment of truth there goes not too loud a lot of thing right now is the pump but the pumps are running at full speed because it's connected to this other header over here so I'm going to need to go into the BIOS to adjust the RPMs on that that upper header is a four pin and that does have speed control these lowest ones do not on this motherboard other than that all the fans are connected and I think they're going at full speed let me see if I can turn them down that's pretty loud there's not a nice finish though that's this is not at all what I have planned all right yes you can't always get what you want and those two front fans despite my attempts to clean them are pretty bad shape they're rattling all over the place they're just old I wish they were a little bit higher quality and had lasted longer but I'll give Coursera some crap for that in the meantime thankfully I have replacements so let's swap out these fractal venturi HP for teens and see if that improves things at all okay I have swapped out my front fans with some fractal venturi fans and let's see if it doesn't sound terrible anymore that's insanely better again that that noise you can hear right now is that pump which is running at full speed and I will be able to go in there and change that and slow that down just a little bit but oh my gosh that heinous whining ratalie off-balance noise from those Corsair fans is gone and you know it I get the added bonus of those fans not having white LEDs on them I'm really not a big fan of LED fans to be perfectly honest fortunately the exhaust fan the 140 in the back here is still going strong that's a little bit higher quality one and the old ones I just chucked in the trash because they were done for but that is all for this video guys I hope you have enjoyed it I'm certainly feeling much better about the system as a whole it's a lot cleaner everything's smoother it's I know it's gonna be super quiet now and I feel much better about critiquing people on pit my PC thank you so much for watching though if you would like to hit the like button on the feedback area down below you can also leave me some feedback to comment let me know what your system is looking like could yours use sort of a cleaning out and a refresher like my interested or is yours like do you diligently clean it every month let me know and also don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more tech videos as always thank you very much for watching if you enjoyed this video though don't forget to leave me some feedback in the feedback feedback make the kiss
