Blue Sky - $4500 Custom Loop PC

2017-03-07
I seriously considered calling this part five of four so here it is folks the final verdict this is blue sky now the first thing I want to do is give huge shout-outs to all the companies that made blue sky possible and that's starting of course first off with alpha cool who supplied almost everything that you're seeing in the build they supplied the to three hundred sixty millimeter radiators it supplied all of the PT G tubing all sixty feet or so of the PT G tubing all of the fittings that you see in here as well as the reservoir and the pump they also had a ton of stuff sent over that was necessary for work behind the scenes that you obviously aren't seeing in this build but pretty much anything that you could possibly want including a variety of graphics card water block support is offered on aqua tuning novel websites I have the US version aqua tuning us and also the original alpha cool that's all in German for my German viewers out there both of the sites are linked in the description check them out if you're building any kind of custom loot PC I do recommend that you start there they have literally everything now another prominent feature of this bill that I cannot go without mentioning is the lien Lee PCO 11 I don't know if it's the 11 or just the 11 then the O's silent anyway it's a beautiful tempered-glass case I want to give a personal shout out to Trevor for hooking me up with this thing I really wanted to go with a Lambie case for this build I admire the company I think they make some of the best looking cases on the market it's always been my dream to own a case like this so I'm glad that this was able to happen I don't think any other case would have made blue sky look any better than it already does I also want to thank v1 tech for supplying these beautiful back plates the blue accents of which match the fluid almost perfectly as well as mod my mods for supplying this beautiful CPU block here I was looking for something that was a bit darker of a blue shade to match the darker blue in these cables at Tony from virility supplied and this was it I mean this was once I saw it he sent a picture of he's like hey I can see some of these over tomorrow I was like heck yes this is the perfect the perfect piece to make the blue shades of his build come together I didn't want to be just one solid shade of blue I think that's a little boring and when Tony showed the cables that he had he had those two different shades in there I knew that the rest of this build was going to follow with that that was just something that I wanted personally you see tons of just you know monochromatic builds but I like a bit of diversity and that's what blue sky now brings to the table thermaltake supplied the two gtx 1080 water blocks you look very similar to the EK water block so i'm glad they didn't deviate much from this design we give a personal shout-out to jack over at thermaltake for overnighting these blocks making this happen the next day I send them an email like 2:50 p.m. and then the next morning those blocks were literally here so he's shot out from making that happen it's the reason why part 4 was as early as it was and that's why I was able to complete the build much earlier than I had anticipated I originally had the parallel bridge connecting the two cards but that actually impeded the SLI bridge connectors to the left and it came very far over to the left normal to block the connectors entirely and this will depend on the kinds of cards you use and you know how far away the GPU is from those SLI connectors so it's all about PCB design in this case it didn't really work out this is the reference GT X 1080 PCB we're talking about here so what I had to do was use the two included fluid connectors one came with each card and then I cut small just cuts of ptg tubing and put those in between the fluid connectors to you know obviously complete the loop now you're probably wondering why I have the Trident II RGB Ram set to an RGB setting I originally intended to have those dims oscillating between like a light blue and a dark blue but the software support for x99 platforms is not here yet I tried downloading it and just you know just see if it would work it does not so I have to wait for that beta support to arrive for x99 platforms until then it's going to be RGB ish but that it will be blue I guarantee you it will be blue once that software support arrives but just a general comment on the dims themselves the RGB functionality is superb you can literally replicate any color you want neon green no problem yellow no problem pink no problem and I've seen the software being run on other platforms that are supported at this point and you have total customizability so these these DIMMs aren't the cheapest admittedly they're going to cost you over a hundred bucks for a 16 gig kit but they're going to they're going to look super sexy in that ring of yours now something I wanted to mention in regards part 2a for of the project blue sky series is how I was with all of you about the PT g2 bending process I caught a lot of flack for being unprepared and not doing my homework people even accuse me of not watching YouTube instructions before going about the process which in and of itself is a ridiculous claim what I did do was show you the learning curve that was the the learning process and there is a curve there it's not something you can just pick up and do it takes time it takes practice it is an art and I think any of the the professionals I guess you could call them who have been doing this for a long time would admit the same thing but I even emphasize at the end of that video that once you get through the first couple of hurdles you know the first day or so is going to be rough if it's your first time once used to how far away to hold the PT G tubing from the heat gun how much of the tube to heat up when you're going about bending the tubing then you're going to you're going to be smooth sailing and at this point I can pretty much make any ptg Bend that I want the first time around without screwing up and have that be good to go so if you don't appreciate the honesty the upfront kind of like a learning curve discussion in my videos this isn't the channel for you it's just something that I will always do because I'm not going to act like I'm an expert in something that I haven't done before and I'm not going to try to learn it and rush through the process and then create an instructional video because there are plenty of those out there from people who have already done it many times so I'd rather set myself apart in another way and just be honest about the process altogether I will say it pays off so just keep practicing if this is your first time doing something like this keep doing it you know just come up with some hypothetical bends try doing some crazy stuff and if you can do all of that then you can pull off the vent necessary to build a computer much like project blue sky so I say they surprise announcement for last and that is that I will be undergoing a new custom blue PC build changing one variable mainly that is I will not be using PT G this time around but glass doing so will be using a bunch of fittings will have primo chill predominantly on board with this one and then we'll have maybe some other components like graphics card blocks from other vendors will be using a defined s from fractal design plenty of water cooling potential in a mid tower sized form factor a motherboard I believe from gigabyte to rx for 80s and 1,700 X because risin is the hot topics stay tuned for that actually have a few rough draft already up but you guys know that that is subject to change definitely the end result with project blue sky looked nothing like how I planned it envisioned it in my head but I did just you know jump into this whole thing right away I didn't start with soft tubing or anything I like to go all out and that's why there was such a big learning curve for me but at this point it very comfortable and the glass is up next with that I hope you've enjoyed the project blue sky series this video here marks the finale the finished product I know there are some things that a few of you are going to like you might not like the coolant you might not like the RGB ran the way they are there's always something that someone's going to complain about but this is my build and I love it exactly the way it is and that's all that matters if you liked this video be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down for the opposite click a subscribe button if you haven't already I will catch you in the next video this is Salazar studio thanks for building with us
