Meet Our First Water-Cooled PC

2016-02-28
hey everyone Greg here with science studio and we have another PC bill to show off to you all this one is based around the Intel Core i5 4690k and before you think anything else yes that thing is overclocked currently to 4.4 gigahertz and you're thinking ah come on Greg you can push it a bit more we didn't want to do that just yet we wanted to save that adventure I call it an adventure because that's usually what it is it's it's very difficult to find like the highest most stable overclock possible on any chip whatsoever so I'm going to save that adventure for another video if you're interested in that video click the link here if that link is not here it's not uploaded yet but please click the link if it's there I think you're going to enjoy that video should be pretty a pretty fun to watch to say the least you know it's never fun to crash your computer but it's fun to watch other people crash their computers right so what else does this repacking mul other than the fact that it already has a ty 5 4690k in there we've also got it as rock z97 extreme for LGA 1150 motherboard you've seen this one in the past it's got dr d bone on the bottom it's got support for AME crossfire and nvidia sli pretty much the works everything you can think of that a motherboard should have it probably has the rigs also packing two four gigabyte sticks of g.skill ddr3 clocked at 21 33 megahertz we are currently running at that frequency in here just you know turned on X and P profile ready to go in that case apart from that we have let's see a power supply from EVGA 600 watt bronze it's actually a little higher than the standard it's not the 725 from centi I want to go back EVGA just because the power supplies are a bit quieter and this one's 80 plus bronze so yeah it's more efficient and stuff if you're worried about that but it's just nice to say on paper oh it's 80 plus bronze can save you like two dollars a year on your power bill maybe not two dollars maybe a little more than that you get my point handling the graphic side of things is an EVGA super super clocked NVIDIA GTX 960 4 gigabyte edition this one is it's similar to the zotac one that I had in an older video this one's actually a bit longer it's a bit more conservative with you know when it turns his fans and when it doesn't and all I did with this one was just paint the backplate I do like the backplate I don't think I'm ever gonna buy a graphics card that doesn't have a backplate from this point on just because I really like back plates and I hate seeing just the circuit boards on yeah it doesn't blend with my cool white and black color scheme that I typically go for so that's particularly why I chose this one plus I got it for a good price on Amazon so you know that always helps make my decision a bit easier in terms of storage we have an a data 120 gigabyte solid state drive just for our boot drive things boot up in like five seconds it's pretty awesome and then that typical Western Digital caviar blue 320 gigabyte storage device for my games whatnot I don't have any games on there so I don't need a lot of storage but if you're trying to build a rig similar to this one you have a lot of games in your Steam library go for that one two or three terabyte Western Digital model like I said I always go Western Digital because they're freakin reliable that's what they are they're just reliable take my word for it so you just saw from that little test that GTA 5 is definitely definitely benefiting from that overclocked I 5 4690k we're reaching about 130 FPS on the average in GTA 5 at 1080p on all high settings - MSAA and ambient occlusion few of those weird settings in there that we like to turn off just because they absolutely destroy the GPUs ability to perform well in games keep in mind I just have a gtx 960 in here so 4 gigabyte gtx 960 that's not like a card that is known for producing frame rates above 100 FPS at 1080p so i'm very impressed at how well this computer's performing as a whole I'm very surprised honestly by how well the overclocked i5 is doing in games particularly GTA 5 which is very CPU intensive but also in other games that don't rely heavily on the CPU it's nice to see a CPU and a GPU working together so wonderfully to produce a very very playable 100-plus frames per second gaming experience so that's about it for this beast of a build you guys it's a 4690k water-cooled running a gtx 960 for gear by graphics card in a pretty sweet and though pro-am acrylic case if you're interested about that case in particular check out this video here where I review all the features of this case behind me there's plenty of building room the side acrylic window looks absolutely gorgeous you can see everything inside including your radiators and I love that so if you're a pretty ostentatious PC builder check this case out check this video out I think you'll enjoy what you'll see so that's it everyone you know the routine like or dislike if your feelings are more complicated comment down below start discussions I'm gonna get involved as much as I can I appreciate the growing community be sure to subscribe if you haven't already we post a lot of videos like this a lot of techie sciency videos things you're interested in be sure to leave comments also about what you would like to see in the future this is science studio thanks for learning with us you
