hey everyone Greg here with science studio and yes I have another PC bill to show off to you guys it's sitting here in the studio it's right behind me it may look familiar because I'm featuring the same NZXT s340 case as the previous intel skylake i3 bill only this one is in the glossy black color instead of the glossy white color so yes it is a new PC and it's actually featuring parts that I've never used in a PC I've ever built before so let's go ahead get right into the specs for the first time in my existence I've purchased an Intel Core i5 yes and i-5 a true quad core I've always gone with AI threes I always thought that I 3s gave you the best bang for the buck but we will see in another video of which the link will be right here when that video is uploaded going to click that if it's there if it's not I'm sorry we'll be there shortly I threes usually are the best bang for the buck but in maybe this case the i-5 is worth the extra fifty to sixty dollars so what I thought did I go with I went with an i-5 6400 no one did not go for the i-5 6600 K because for the simple reason that I didn't feel that $100 premium justified just an unlocked multiplier I know it's gonna overclock a bit better than the 6400 wildung 6490 even designed to be overclocked although it does turbo boost quite well I just figured I would you know overclock it using the base clock method and save 100 bucks that way you know invest that into like a cooler or something which I actually didn't do the stock cooler is doing just fine and I am running that CPU currently at this moment at 4 gigahertz stable I've played games with it the CPU fan does get a bit loud but I mean that's what I get for not purchasing a CPU cooler up front so I'll have to do that very soon but it is running stable of 4 gigahertz on air with a stock cooler so if you're curious about how these processors overclock using the base clock method yeah you get the 4 gigahertz most of the time very stable that's all I'll really say about that but ok so I overclock the CPU well how did I do it what motherboard it is I decided to use the exact same asrock z170 proform on the board that I have used in the past so this asrock motherboard has a lot of great features 5.1 round sound AMD crossfire I actually I didn't go with an AMD graphics card for once yeah that's surprising especially you know me I usually go for the more budget oriented AMD GPUs but in this case I wanted to test out in vidiian I figured I could make cool video or - comparing the car that I have now in the car that I had in the past so if you're tech savvy you probably know which card I'm talking about that's in there right now not going to tell you yet but anyway the motherboards great I painted it I use the same painting process as before so I use the white plastidip that I purchased from Lowe's thank you Lowe's for that expensive Plasti Dip and also this time used a glossy plastic finish so it made it look a little shinier than usual that was cool I think I'm gonna keep doing that I like the shiny appeal especially with those NZXT LEDs in there and it just it looks great in the case I think a white black color schemes awesome if you hate it get over it white black school it's just cool I also slapped in some PNY anarchie ddr4 yo at 2400 megahertz and dual channels you know so yeah they're fancy looking rims you know I mean dims they're fancy looking dims and I got them for a pretty cool price $40 on you a check that out but okay enough of the fuss what graphics card did I choose well I chose a ZOTAC yeah is otech nvidia gtx 960 4 gigabyte graphics card and let me tell you i am very impressed with how well this card holds up in games at very impressed I expected this card to underperform compared to the r9 380 for you my car that I had in my i3 build but I don't know maybe it's because I'm using an i5 as well I Five's do make a difference but this card is doing very well in fact it mirrors and sometimes surpasses the r9 380 in gaming and I will show you that in another future video if that video is not here right now it is coming very soon so stay tuned for that but it's there go ahead and click it but anyway on top of that I've got a kingston SSD in there for a boot drive just 120 gigabytes does quite well boots up in like three seconds it's see I love SSDs I will never not go with an SSD ever again and also have a 322 bite caviar blue hard drive yeah that's the same one that I've used for the past like three or four or five years or whatever when I bought from Best Buy I always keep that in whenever I get rid of my other computers I pull that hard drive out because there's all my games on it I don't feel like reloading all of those games from Steam so it saves me a lot of time and it's just a quick you know inserting exort exort insert and extract i don't know what word I'm looking for there back to the paint job for a sec I decided to paint the fans as well for the first time ever I painted all parts of the Intel fan you know the stock fan it's included with the CPU and it's holding up quite well I mean I even the blades themselves were painted and they turn I don't notice any like drag or clicking noises going on inside of there so I think the painting process was okay I didn't put too many coats on the fins themselves so they they they still turn adequately I would say but as for the NZXT fans they're in the front where it looks like a radiator should be I decided not to paint those blade that just painted the frames and yeah the paint job on those are a little rustic they're not the most professional but from the side they're mostly white and provides a great contrast to that black glossy finish around the outside of the NZXT s340 case which I love by the way it's a gray case has a huge window you get to show off all the goodies inside no ncx he's not painting for this little insert but man I love their case so that's about it everyone I don't want to keep you for too long but I did want to show you that yes I did purchase a new computer and yes I am sporting that I five you'd see that I five bucks is up there yep it's up there and it's a great PC I I think I'm an i-5 for life now I don't think I'm to the point where I need an i7 yet but an i-5 gets the job done and yes there is a noteworthy increase in performance from the i3 to the i-5 how much of an increase I don't know and does it justify the price I can well if you're curious about that go ahead and click on this link here I already posted a once but if you were you know cool enough to watch the whole video you can't click on this link now go ahead hop over that one this is science duty everyone thanks for learning with us
