Walter White's Upgrade Vlog + RAM Module Painting

2016-09-11
well it's only been about two weeks but it's time to upgrade Walter white so I used the 600 hour supply originally for the bill that was because that was the only thing I had on hand and that was from deep cool still a good power supply but I want more for this is my daily driver I want to have just a ton of room to expand which is what I plan on doing I'll explain that more towards the end of the video but what I've done is replaced that 600 watt power supply which was fully monitor by the way with this 1000 watt DQ 1000 quanta from vehicle this is an 80 plus gold rated power supply from this is pretty much the top of the line from vehicle and you can find the link to this power supply in this video's description this is a absolute beast when you start approaching 1000 watt power supplies typically get very long and that's because well most of the components inside that are converting and producing that much power getting very hot so crunching them all very close together is an ideal unless you have something like a very fast moving fan to keep things very cool which is uh Cnidaria expensive unit but in the case of the DQ 1000 deep cool has managed to cram everything into roughly a 140 millimeter form factor so it's a single fan up top or down low which depending on which way you orient the power supply and that's pretty much it that is the size of the unit in terms of length and width and then the height of course is a standard PSU unit for ATX power supplies but all in all this is an absurd amount of power for what Walter White is currently demanding with a single gtx 1070 and an overclocked i7 6700 K but because I have well big plans for the computer I'm gonna need something that's that gives me a lot more lead way a lot more room to expand and on top of that is gonna be very quiet under heavy load the other thing I want to walk you through in this video is the RAM swap so I used to have yo super looser ddr4 those bright white LED dims that were originally in Walter White they are now a new rig that I just assembled with Destin but I've taken those dims in there and put them in here night processing well Gregg those were read before why are they white now because I painted them that's what I want to show you right now now with the 1000 watt power supply already tucked inside the next thing to do is replace the two dims in here with the four dims from the other PC in the living room now you're probably wondering well reg these have white LED accents and the other Ram back in the living room has accent so that's not really gonna match with anything you got in your rig that's because I'm going to paint those in there I'm gonna show you how to do that it's very simple there's literally just little screws that you have to undo on each side of each dim and then we'll be able to pull a little top panel off of each of these on those dims and then paint those white and the new RAM will also be at 32 hundred megahertz instead of 3,000 like these gills super loose tim's are so up slightly faster ram but albeit at a slightly higher caste latency as well so really not trading off much there so the way each of these memory modules is designed there's just three simple pieces the top part here that's painted red and then you have a front panel and a back panel that both hold that top panel in place and there's just four screws up top and those four screws hold this red plate in place now the red plate is what we're gonna be painting white so for all four of these tim's live white I guess bars up top that you'll see in Walter White once it's installed I'm not sure if I want to paint the sides here I know that's a red lettering and that doesn't really match anything in the rig but you're not gonna see that for the most part because it will be sitting sideways like that so I think I'm just gonna stick with painting only this top bar here so a word on the paint choice here I've used Plasti Dip in the past I have several pans just kind of leftover sitting up here and that's a good choice primarily because you can remove it fairly easily but I've since gone with engine enamel because it does provide a cleaner finish it's much more smooth and glossy if you go with Plasti Dip i recommend something like a glass of fire that will I guess smooth out that that final finish that you have it'll look more reflective than it will matte I have since switched to engine enamel just because it does provide an all-around better finish in my opinion if you're a fan of matte finishes and go for the plastidip and if you wanna I guess correct that you can buy the glass of fire too I've used both they they kind of look the same in the end as long as you apply enough coats but engine nails we're gonna go with now I'm not worried about removing this anytime soon yeah it's raining outside terrible terrible day to be painting just because of how much humidity is in the air right now and we live in Louisiana so it's pretty much never gonna be good in the summer but whatever we're gonna paint it anyway you see people who ever lived in the year before painted all over just the straight concrete it's pretty sad but we'll be a little more responsible we're gonna paint on top of this anti crystal box okay so we've got the four screws removed and you see how simple this is here this is just that's just slides right out just like that so this is the piece we're gonna be painting all white and you'll mainly see the top of it right here now if I really wanted I could literally just take the support and paint each side of each of these modules but I don't think that I want to paint over this chrome strip here it's glued on pretty hard so I don't want to try to pull it off and rip anything and on top of that it's just gonna look a little goofy the whole dim just completely white so that I'm nice to have some black accents in there and for the most part you won't see this just because it's so low on the montreux to be really close to everything else on the board alright first thing you want to do is shake the pan a lot okay terribly hard to see out here but that is the this is the finished product and their little stuff yeah oh yeah that's what happens when you let paint dry upside down well from the top they don't look bad yeah it's good enough you okay so we have the power supply 1,000 watts from deep cool and we have thirty two hundred megahertz ddr4 16 gigs of it from a pacer that's a that's pretty much it for now that I'm the tell them to do for Walter White I do have one more piece to the puzzle that's not here yet when it is here I'll do a whole separate video on that and the result of including that one piece in terms of benchmarks think you know what it's gonna be that's right a second graphics card at second gtx 1070 we're gonna see if it's really worth especially on a z170 platform upgrading to 210 70's versus just one what kind of benefits you should expect to see if you decide to sli to brand new Pascal GPUs other than that be sure to give this video a thumbs up if you thought it was cool give it a thumbs down if you feel to quit upset or if you hate everything a lot
