okay here we are folks at Bo's house and we have pretty much everything ready to go we have the motherboard this one is compatible with the Q 6600 we did double check that beforehand we have eight gigabytes in four 2gig variants of ddr2 here I believe these are clocked it I want to say 866 megahertz I'll to double check on that we do have the Q 6600 here this is the one I purchased if you watch the earlier build off of ebay for I think just sixteen dollars so nothing special but it will definitely pull its own weight when we finally assemble some shuttle to you solid-state drive I regard these as necessities at this point and then uh but what did we get what kind of truck I believe it was the GTX 950 that's actually the same one that I recommended to Jacob yeah and that's only because we can use CUDA acceleration when we render videos so you'll you'll basically take a lot of stress off of the CPU yeah when it comes to rendering it just it just helps them as well so we have that we have the power supply to is the other thing I forgot this is just a 500 watt this is more than plenty for what his computer will be demanding under full load and then the last piece of the puzzle is the Corsair 400 see you guys saw me review this I built into several times I painted that bottom tray white but mr. beau here is a professional painter he's been doing this for a while now yeah so he might he might change things up just just a little bit getting ideas Bo I might do a color shift in college between maybe a blue and green did you know so when I faced light maybe come into my room or something you can get a cool different video from it whichever way I want to face the computer some idea over here and then might earlier any transfer it might be green next time folks that is going to be very interesting we will definitely follow up with him once we assemble this thing speaking of which let's go ahead and get started the Q 6600 is going in there and mr. Bo's gonna do all the work so uh Bo here you go you go alright alright it is in there alright I got you install CPU okay now with the RAM you want to align the notch on the actual dim with the notch on the motherboard so grab both corners right here yep push down and push down pretty hard all right there you go all four sets of ramps we have eight gigs in total been a while since I've tinkered with the t4 I already know what I'm doing hey go see you probably wing this with I even look in the manual is just do it without looking at a man you should be alright okay I all right here we go second up add a tiny bit more than that just a tiny bit more than yeah a tiny bit more a little more doesn't hurt a little less is its catastrophic that's perfect perfect folks what do you think what do you think let me know in the comments below what you would rate that out of ting I'm gonna leave this one up you may this is you this is all you that cable right there this powers your fan and control its pwm so it'll base pulse width modulation which so we want to plug that header into this this lead into the header on the board that says CPU fan something along those lines this right here is the i/o shield you're going to put this right in there snaps into place this is one of those things we all have to go through this part yep so use that as your guide let's see how well he does on this first attempt folks good looking good and then just check the standoff we're sitting on it we're not it isn't supposed to beep oh you know what it might just be a screw and one time I said sure looks a line check all the other holes and make sure they're lined up in holes and everyone I'm impressed first attempt you did that quick and I usually do it yep you have a small screwdriver I did not bring there she is uh-oh folks this is not Mystere Mako this is a christen Bo's Pomeranian Trixie 13 years old she's all gone 13 years oh hello they're all perfect exactly what we need us to do let's do the biggest one get more torque that way is that a magnetic screwdriver sure hope so sure hope so that's why you don't go with cheap ones hmm mmm this will be fun all right good luck there so if you drop one of those screws we're gonna have to flip the whole case over Ashley get that one screwed on magnetic one now there we go it's not bigger but oh my goodness it makes things so much so much easier see there folks I recommend it all the dirty behind-the-scenes work you're getting right here folks you can't you can't pay for this hey this is just gotta get it at you don't well you can't pay donations go to donations go to Bojangles what is it at I I Bojangles underscore heylia that folks as my philosophy folks cable managed as you go looking good okay so got the motherboard installed we have cpu install the RAM installed and the CPU cooler installed along with the some minor cable management from the cpu fan cable running through the back the case now I guess it's just up to you now but what do you wanna do next we have the power supply the solid-state drive the graphics card what you what's your feeling the graphics card is close oh he's going with the graphics card next folks ok jumping the gun a little bit all right no problem no problem you don't know you don't uh still use VGA do you Deebo I'm just past that just last weekend oh-ho last week what we on HDMI now yeah my man you just gonna slide it in basically just align it that the metal prongs on the back of the card should miss the motherboard perfect and then just slide it on in there there you go just like that you installed a graphics card I see we're gonna want to screw this but exactly now the key here to eliminate any potential graphics card sag is you're gonna want to hold this upright while you screw it in just like that I should say bow has been like a painter for the past 4 like this guy huh paint anything you want like he could paint like just a tiny little portion of something somewhere and it would look like it was professionally done this guy painted rims and cars like whole cars and it just it looked like a stock pan shot it was that good so I did be interesting to see what Bo decides to deal with this case and with the components inside should he should he desire to paint any other stuff I have a feeling of a feeling you're gonna want to you know put some mention what color y'all think we look cool down the comments in there yo you know oh it looks kind of every other week yeah oh man we're gonna have one of them like color change in color change in CTCs Oh something good look at that let's think we have any GPU sag here um mmm very very minimal like we're talking less than a degree of sag looking good I like that I like that it's a light card so that helps too now what's next we have solid-state drive and we have the power supply you know I don't know at all what this is or where it's gonna fit leave that that's okay I'm gonna see McLovin thought this was the power supply okay yeah he yeah he did something but this one's a little bigger and so I probably a smart man probably woulda waited with the graphics card cuz it's a little more room to work that's the only reason people tend to go with a PSU first but I mean I know I make this look like he's coming but this is good 15 pounds good thing baby some curls with that thing maybe that writing there but you got a good 500 watt here this thing will be practically silent even while the PC is under full load that's why I love these EVGA power supplies I recommend them to any budget conscious builder who seeks advice so if you have a question about a power supply and don't need anything expensive or ostentatious go with an EVGA 500 or 600 watt or if you have a super super chill passive system that doesn't demand a lot of power at all even if for 30 watt would be just fine this one fan we're gonna want to insert facing downward because we do have an air filter a dust filter down here that you can remove and clean over time there so yep just like that you don't want to just slider in make sure them cables are out where are we gonna want them down there or since you can push them like that yeah that's why I work yep in order to get a fully modular 500 watt on your most instances we're talking about probably double the price so I think it's worth putting up with the cables what you think Bo absolutely yeah just good just comes out of preference but in most cheap budget builds I wouldn't recommend a modular power supply I'm very excited about the benchmarks of this PC I think it's pcs gonna perform admirably alright so last thing to do is a install a solid-state drive I mean go and do that before we start wiring everything up because you'll need to wire that one up anyway ah biggest ones going to something important mm-hmm all right gonna start with um first one don't tell me oh it's right there the big white okay oh that's in a very unorthodox place to be completely honest with you we almost kept this in there we need to be mindful of this eight pin CPU power connector up here so we decided to run the 24 pin across the GPU across the whole motherboard and it's not the prettiest looking but you know it's much it's a lot more functional and if we ever have to remove the bottom panel all we have to do is unhook the eight pin from here and then the peripherals are the front io pins down there that should be it now all we have to do is power the solid state drive and and then we'll plug in the front io connectors and then run a SATA cable from the SSD to the motherboard and then we'll wire up the LEDs starting with this block up here and then cable managed and then put the panels back on and then boom boom ready to install the operating system and yeah start playing around this thing see how powerful it actually is oh go ahead and have that back in yeah that's good I've been too much force so your solid-state drive is now powered kind of wrap those cables you can kind of try to tuck them under here we'll get some tie straps in time over here too if you want one other thing we do need a power our are your LEDs so that's a molex power so you see four distinct pins pull up the four distinct pins power leads from your power supply it'll be none of those it'll be all on the same hip just like that and now all we need is a single SATA cable and that is in my box of goodies my ziplock bag of goody this thing all right here folks a bunch of good stuff in here we need one SATA cable and okay and pull one out of there yep yeah let's go okay so we get that in and from the backside here mm plug the other end of that state of cable into the solid state drive right there I'm gonna wait to check the manual to see where these putting these are this is for the front panel and there's no var no markings on board I'm assuming it's going to go in one of these that's fine but uh we want to make sure we plug those in correctly okay so here's the picture this is what we need our power LED positives on the far left up top our power LED negative is two pins to the right of that so I'll have that one and then we'll have our power switch so i power in our grounds this is positive negative and then our reset switch reset and ground so positive negative again and so now all we have left do oh you've already kind of cable age-1 come on back here and check this up okay maybe did a pretty good job considering what we had to work with keep in mind we had to use they know I'm launching a power supply so all these extra cables get on thinking is we just stuck down there underneath the basement but it looks pretty good I'd say it goes bad we see we have LEDs on the inside there's a little grocery I don't know of course it does on purpose for LED strips if you wanted to insert them but it worked out that's where I put them so we have them here and then our cable leads we're going to plug these into these two cable leads on the coming from the little power supply cord way up top and then then we close it up power it on see if everything works so one um is good yeah what unfinished your male to female the problem is we got female to female down here which believe it or not I can I can do that confidently myself you know all right so I'm gonna get a couple shots of the front that's what it looks like that's the finished product I'm not turned on for ya here only you mishit monitors on the ceiling is you see a blue light yep blue lights huh okay let's see what happened that's the PC okay make sure the power on the power supply is on it was already switched it is do we have the LED remote I'll but I'll leave you in charge of that good we have a green light on the motherboard that's good sign you know and ready 3q 100 huh huh so we get a post good sign it's a good sound we have color folks and of course it's not gonna post this would have the operating system installed yet so let's go ahead and do that next let's go over to boot we're gonna set our boot device priority first to our USB exit and safe so now the computer reboots we should automatically be thrown into those ten okay so the computer's seems to be doing okay and we've installed the operating system right now we are getting ready to boot into the OS for the first time got you are gonna see this cat fetch check this out look at look at her go you see that do you see that she just brought this thing back that is the smartest cat I've ever seen in pattern - yeah reward she's smarter than our than my pups sup buddy what's up with that if she knows she's like ya know ya know hi there hi there hey we are in we are in the windows tempo how do you feel about that fantastic we got a new upgrade we're gonna be able to play some better games it better freight rates with everything you know and our second set of LEDs is actually not plugged in at this point because we don't have the converter but I'll bring that one to him I know I have one in the office somewhere and the second set down here will be on as well to light everything up even more than it already currently is so let's get the installing some drivers and then run some quick test benches before I get out of here because I but wants to start playing that csgo he's been waiting he's been waiting and I don't want him to wait much longer so I stay tuned okay we're gonna go ahead and run Cinebench here we can see our CPUs fairly quiet and stable at a chili walnut chili with 36 37 degrees Celsius so let's go ahead and run Cinebench now okay so our score was 235 which isn't all that great don't worry about this being cut off we're dealing with that on separate issue the more incentive we have now to overclock so let's go ahead and try to do that this is a p5q motherboard I believe we have support for it so let's hop into the BIOS real quick so our Q 6800 is now overclocked - we just did a modest 3 gigahertz here but we should see a fairly substantial boost in our score I'm expecting around 300 + core temps toward 60 to 63 see across all four and keep in mind that's with the high 44 so pretty good we might aim for 3.2 gigahertz and then call it a day and our final score 286 so we're right on the edge of 300 CB ah let's go ahead and over puggle just bit a bit more so but when I were just talking uh you know he was saying if I want to upgrade the future what should I upgrade to you know what am I expecting to pay and it just ultimately depends on on what you know what you're looking for power wise this is good enough to get them started but I told them as you know the q 6600 here cost me 16 bucks on ebay 16 dollars you can't get any modern CPU anywhere close to that price that will perform as well as this thing is so you're getting for 16 bucks of CPU that's getting a score of 325 C be overclocked to 3.4 gigahertz and we did bump our V core to 1.4 I told Bo if anything happens you know I get some blue screens in little games whatever just call me and we'll fix it it looks to be stable at one point four volts and three point four gigahertz bo are you uh happy with what you got so far I'm very excited to you know get started on YouTube and lemma games and enjoy it yeah that's gonna be very enjoyable alright folks so uh this is it this is a his corner for now he's gonna do a lot of a lot of furniture moving and all that getting his new new a corner set up he's got a nice l-shaped desk and a nice banking monitor on the way right bow oh yeah yeah he's only hearing actually he's gonna be setting it up so for some we'll do some Davey benchmarks in this I guess they wouldn't hurt to download a couple games I have my hard drive I can bring over here to one day and we'll just benchmark the heck out of this thing we'll see really how well this thing handles handles gaming and video editing so when you start video as well I'll bet you should see how well it does but for now folks 325 C be on the set of inch score that is not bad stay tuned for those gaming benchmarks for now not a bad build for what 350 400 bucks yeah runner bucks nice nice go hard
