I Built a Ryzen 7 2700X Custom Loop PC!

2018-07-31
just kidding that actually isn't the bill I wanted to show you guys it is this one not not Pepsi but it's this bill and I teased it a few times on Twitter I showed you guys a front picture one from behind also threw it up on Instagram and just kind of wanted to experiment again with AMD I remember switching in this video right here to the horizon 7 1717 our decks actually they're basically the same CPU so eight cores 16 threads that was the summit ridge architecture 14 nanometers and I remember getting to our out 4 gigahertz on a custom loop like this and I was a little disappointed I expected to get a little higher than that but I you know it's good enough right for video editing 8 cores is more than plenty simultaneous multi-threading all the good stuff also on board and that's exactly what we get here just with the step up in the right direction from both a voltage management perspective as well as an X and P perspective we can actually run XMP profile on the rise in 720 700 acts with this you know random kit of nighthawk ddr4 RGB modules from Team Group either or not you know designed specifically for rice and platforms but XMP profile 3,000 megahertz no problem here so we got 16 gigs I might upgrade to 32 eventually that might benefit is just a little bit in the video editing side of things and then we have a GTX 1080 down here which is good for CUDA acceleration gaming all the works it's a very well balanced system considering this is maybe a 4 to $500 graphics card maybe a $300 a little less than that in some cases CPU and then 16 gigs of ram of course the custom cooling is definitely overkill but this is an art for me at this point so the PC you saw at the beginning of this video is actually at 99 setting on ATX II build with two gtx 1080s in it not one like here so I've definitely you know dumb things down a bit and so to speak not to say that this isn't a powerful machine this will game just fine it will video edit just might as well show you here shortly but I was having issues particularly when it came to games with the i9 platform and I'm not sure had to do with the CPU architecture the latency is involved between cores or if it had to do with the sli config I would disable SLI and still experience quite a bit of you know chop when I was playing games like pub G I usually play one or two games for a long time maybe three four years and then I move on to some other game that I'll play for a long time so I commit you know heavily to a certain game or two and that's what I stick with and pub G just played terribly on that system so I was inclined to switch back to Raisa not only because I wanted to kind of experiment again like I said with the 12 nanometers stuff from AMD but also because it was just so it was so bad I mean I could not play on that i9 system and it was so surprising because I system costs like $5,000 retail maybe a little more than a CPU itself was like 2 grand but a single G takes 10 80s really all I need for the resolution in which I game 3440 by 1440 I had around 100 Hertz and that's more less gonna fall on the CPU side of things for the higher refresh rate and eight cores is more than enough for that if you want to stream you can also do it on the system I don't expect you to just want to go out and build a system like this the custom loop is definitely not necessary this is more of an aesthetic play but in general this combination here the Rison 7 platform with a gtx 1070 or 1080 is a very well balanced system you can step down to the r5 series if you just want to play games maybe some light multi tasking the r7 series though gives you the extra two cores extra punch when it comes to streaming to added workloads virtual machines you can really come up with several different queues for a CPU like this content creation definitely benefits from the extra cores as well in most cases Premiere Pro certainly does show a marginal benefit it's not going to be you know a huge jump up for six cores just because of the optimization factor but still I would rather edit on seven on eight core excuse me than six cores and that is why I went with the 2700 X here I do want to point out a few additional parts including this build that a few of you were asking about on Twitter so this right here is the Alpha cool GPX in block series from alpha cool the 1080 and 1070 blocks designed specifically for the reference cards that's why we again only have a single 8 pin vga supplemental power cable stemming from the board the Alpha cool logos upside down that's not normal it's only because the cards turn vertically with the liam lee vertical riser cable card holder whatever you want to call it now and the deltas between having this carts that like this via the riser cable and just being plug straight on the motherboard are basically non-existent which is good that means we're not seeing a huge framerate degradation by using the riser card which means it's a good quality/price record there are plenty of crap our cards out there so beware another thing I really wish these would turn orange they actually do when I have the system plugged in to my monitor and I can control the software I thought I had them preset to orange to begin with and they were before I unplugged this and put it here but these are normally orange if that's bugging you I totally get it the only thing that really should be any different color or these fans up top and I normally have these set to white but for some reason they're purple they might look white on camera that's just because the cameras see slightly different colors and we do but this is normally white up top and then all orange down here and then we have orange fluid this is thermaltake fluid this is an aluminum rad so it's important this fluid stay Thermaltake fluid and have more of that discussed in this video here and then we also have some orange dye that I just kept adding drops up until I got the the color I was looking for it's not gonna match identically to the accents on the motherboard or the RAM or the be quiet fans behind the reservoir but it's close enough and I think the color scheme you know fits the bill I also want to mention the case this is the Leanne leo 11 dynamic and I've used it three times now for customers because it still remains my favorite case to this day I already reviewed the dynamic and I think it's a great collaboration between Lee and Leander Bauer did a great job revising the original PC Oh 11 and that again is why I've thrown three custom loops into this chassis thus far so guys let me know what you think about the case in particular it's very well suited for water cooling I love the water clean support in here and that's again another reason why I've used it so many times but there are just so many opportunities in a space this big I love the way it looks and I love the way it functions and that's the best of both worlds when it comes to PC cases now after a few benchmarks with the horizon 720 700 X and the GT X 1080 comp I can tell you I'm very satisfied so far with the performance again this is gonna be top of the line here it's not gonna be as good as an i7 8700 k GT X 1080 combo but it's gonna be pretty darn close and I showed that in my original benchmarks with the r7 2700 X so again 8 cores simultaneous multithreading 4.2 ish gigahertz overclock in most cases if you pair that with Ram that you can run an X and B profile you can have a very good system not only from a power delivery standpoint because the voltage tolerances on the CPU are actually really good for what they are with the new fabrication note at 12 nanometers but also because it runs pretty cool so the entire loop actually with the Pumped er down to the lowest setting possible and my fan curves as you can hear now are very quiet the CPU only reaches about 55 degrees Celsius under full load that's incredible and in the graphics curve which is about 60 degrees Celsius while gaming so that's really all I have to say at this point games run a lot snappier now there they're not lagging there's no huge framerate dip at all when I play with this system versus when I played with the I 9 system I think that has to do with the I 9s architecture not so much to do with AMD's you know increase in IPC which is pretty marginal but they did increase the voltage tolerances the temperatures are much more stable now and we can get a slightly higher overclock XMP profile overclocking memory it's all much more doable now with the horizon second gen stuff so maybe something to consider I know that the Rison 7 1700 is still an epic deal right now especially when you get up around 200 bucks it's really hard to say no to a 200 dollar 8 core CPU that's relatively modern but if you no exit view profiles a big deal to you if you plan on running higher frequency memory which will affect your frame rate when it comes to the Infinity fabric and the architecture behind summit ridge and and the newer 12 nanometers stuff then giving the second gen Rison 7 and Rison 5 CPU is a try it might be in your PlayBook so it's something to consider I have both the 2700 X and the 1700 a linked down below the horizon 720 709 X by the way would still be a viable counterpart although because I'm custom cooling this I want the extra TDP Headroom just in case I get a small you know marginal overclock benefit from it maybe like another 100 or 200 megahertz I'm gonna try for 4.4 gigahertz with this one although I'm not sure we're gonna have the thermal Headroom because this is a very slim 360 mil rat well we'll play around with it but for now I'm very comfortable at 4.2 gigahertz across all eight cores so what do you guys think about the build I want to hear from you in the comments below what would you change about it what would you keep in it if you took this bill home two days or anything that would immediately drive you insane that you would have to change right away I want to know what you would do differently because I might take your idea and implement it into a future custom Lou but I do this for fun now you know a lot not a lot of people are interested in custom loops now because they're so expensive and I know times are hard and you know people are fighting for for cash and trying to spend it as wisely as possible and that's a good thing you know custom loops are a very niche art for a very select few people not necessarily because they have the money for it because they they appreciate the art enough to want to spend the money on it so this is something that I would maybe do once or twice in my life if I had to spend all my money on this stuff you know I couldn't do it more than a couple times just because it would be very expensive so you know we all have bills to pay I am happy with the way this looks I'm happy with the stuff in it and yeah if I wanted to build a custom book right now out of my own pocket then I would build something very similar to this maybe a white themed build just because I like white better when it comes to RGB accents and the reflections and stuff but I wanted to change it up a bit I wanted to go black and orange not because I'm a line of shill but because I want to be different thumbs up if you liked the video if you liked the bill dislike it if you feel cope it opposite or if you hate everything about life click that red subscribe button if you haven't already and stay tuned for a more content like this this is science studio thanks for building with us are you ok pecci are you ok do you want to say hi to the people on YouTube do you want to say hi no I don't think she wants to say hi instead she's gonna buy cables don't don't nobody do it she's going to buy the cable
