what's going on everyone I am on my knees right now because I'm using a PC case box as a makeshift desk for the time being I just put together a custom loop for a streaming PC which really makes no sense but I decided to go over the top here and I like the way it looks maybe we use it a showpiece when we do live streams from now on you'll find there's an ad for media capture card in there we'll talk about that in a second but for now time to get to the tech porn all right so let's talk about what changed since what you just saw in the b-roll first off the loop is different it's configured differently there are two bends that I had to redo and actually flip-flop based on the ports on the reservoir because the reservoir has a dedicated import and a dedicated out port at least on the right side I mean on the left side excuse me so I'm using both of those on the left which means that only one is an import only one is an out port those were flip-flops so I actually had the the pump was fading the the import on the reservoir whereas it should have been the other way around right the reservoir should be feeding the pump and because I did it the other way around we had a lot of air bubbles in the loop there's still a bunch of air bubbles and loop I think it's just because of the nature of the reservoir don't think it's supposed to be set vertically like this but it should be okay for streaming ladies it's not like a gaming PC I could use some heavy you know CPU rendering on here so this will be okay it's pretty quiet and that was the goal and it looks pretty good too now a bit more on this fantex reservoir you can actually find it linked below in the video description it is not on sale as of the publishing date of this video but it will be very soon and I encourage you to at least consider it if you're gonna use you know use something like this for custom loop it looks phenomenal fantex always makes beautiful blocks and this reservoir is no exception it actually includes an integrated RGB LED strip which I did not throw in there because I already have a strip kind of running up top here and I haven't configured it to be honest I haven't even plugged this into a monitor yet so I haven't done anything to the PC it's just running stock for the first time booting up but this strip is from cable mod as are the cables that I showed you earlier and the strip has RGB W compatibility also UV compatibility so really everything in one big wide strip and it runs all the way across the chassis up top now onto these sexy cables I teased them a bit earlier in the b-roll but I really want to just like focus on these for a second because they have really stepped up their game with the pro series which is what we're sporting here I decided to go with a simple almost monochromatic so a black and gray color scheme of course to complement the Gigabyte designer or designee or however you want to call it x2 9i motherboard so the silver theme with that also the corsair dominator Platinum's so the silver accents are definitely there and that's why I included a bit of silver in the 24 pin cable the rest of the cables though the VGA the the card cable also the EPS cables up top are black and I just I wanted to keep it that way didn't want to go over the top with anything too colorful now the pro series cables from cable mod will cost a bit more I'll admit but they are worth it so if you want to buy a new set of cables you don't want to you know sleeve them yourselves or or ask a friend over and over like I do with Tony because Tony supplies mid cables left and right and his cables are excellent if you want to plug a company for one so you can go to cable mod and set those up via the link below if you want to configure your own set of cables like I've done you can check out their configurator and you won't be disappointed at all with any set of cables really that you choose from but I won't with nylon here or no paracord excuse me it's a paracord pair quarter nylon I get confused I think it's paracord and the pro series cable is there but if you want to go with nylon course you're gonna have that like shinier Sheen to the cables they'll be a bit tougher a bit more rigid but they'll all look great as long as you get the color scheme right I don't think it'd be disappointed at all now the case I chose is the fractal design define see it's not the tempered-glass edition because that case is currently being used for another project so I just went with the standard acrylic model still looks great I still think this is one of the best cases you can possibly buy right now and check out the cable management career I really wanna highlight this so on the right side of this case it is such an easy task to manage and route cables on this right side I would say considering how compact this case is it has the best cable management like setup period you just have so much space near the front there with that little indention it does limit you to just ATX motherboards but I really think this is a worthy trade-off because sliding the right panel on with such ease is just I don't know there's no feeling like it now that's really about it for the specs that you know nothing too special in here I'm reusing the UH 970 100x again that was from the the winter build what that build was destroyed the CPU seems to be working that's great but I want to touch lastly on the capture card that was the point of this build after all right was to make this a streaming PC so we do have a capture card from avermedia here the live gamer HD - this is only a 1080p 60 capable capturecard I plan to run an external camera to this and then will be able to up the ante when it comes to live streams in the future which is why this build exists in the first place we know we could have gone with something like an elgato 4k you know $400 capture card but we're not looking to streaming for work anytime soon the band width is just it's really not there for us at this point I don't really think it's necessary either I think most of you guys prefer 60fps with the live stream aspect at least and then the crispy 4k shots when it comes to videos like these so that's why we went with the cheaper solution here from avermedia you can find it link in the video description along with all the other parts used in this build I'd like to thank alpha cool for resupplying the parts I've actually reused these parts Malvika like three times now the very durable the fantex reservoir we've reused some thermaltake components like the pump and the pump housing as well as this cool little low temperature meter down here so what are you running at 31 degrees Celsius not bad at idle so if you liked this video or at least this really awkward camera angle be sure to let me know give this one a thumbs up I appreciate it thumbs down for the Pacific subscribe but if you have an ardent stay tuned for more content like this this is science studio thanks for building with us
