What a PC Build really Looks like IRL Time-lapse

[Recon9143]

dont you need some artic silver for your cpu

[andrefrbk]

nooo noooo why didnt you go with the fatal1ty... I just got one, its fuking crazy, and OC's like a beast.

[dkooys]

Sick build, but your downfall is the cpu cooler even though I know you replaced it. Great track also. Thanks for the video bro. How do you like your case?

[TheEpicDjGAMER]

he i have a question....in the 600t it specifies 1x USB 3.0, but it doesn't say if it's a header, or a cable that you thread though the rear. I have a USB 3.0 supporting board but no header, just the rear IO ports, and hate having left over front panel connectors that i have to hide and leave an useless port on the front panel.

[babygravy696]

if i sat like that my legs would be dead a sleep

[KronicKillaz]

Do all of your friends just walk in? lol

[JayRab179]

haha all that manual reading just to use the Q-connector

[Landak36]

Rich guy -.- Give your 5870 to me lol :D

[ForceGMs]

so good when we build a PC :)

[Mixamaximus]

Why do I always see people install the motherboard and everything inside the case first? Does nobody assemble it outside and test everything first before moving it inside the case anymore?

[TalesOfWar]

@Mixamaximus Depends how impatient you are lol. I generally test it first, but not always.

[pvtdaniels1]

Let's build this shit on the rug! haha, not the most conventional but obviously you've never shocked 150$ in equipment! Other than that, nice job.

[Bluegiz90]

Hey mate, did the H100 fit in the 500t OK?

[HeavyWinds]

@Bluegiz90

I first had to remove the huge fan (240mm?)

Then I removed the grill on top. You will notice holes for two 120mm fans.

The fans go on top and you use the long screws to attach it to the radiator.

I have the fans pulling the air at the moment.

Also, your MB/OS will have no control over the CPU fan speed; you will have to click the button on the Corsair block to setting one or two...unless you want your computer to sound like a airplane.

[C2aimar123]

dammmmm... dude u rich

[frugis]

Is 60gb SSD enough to run Windows 7 ultimate? :)

[HeavyWinds]

@frugis No, but the Z68 chip-set has a cool inlet feature called intel rapid storage technology. They use it on enterprise servers and now we have it on a consumer MB. All you need to do is plug it in the the correct sata port (i think blue in color) then you turn it on. It will use the RAID feature to fill up the SSD with the most used data (aka cache) Is about 80% as fast as having a SSD only solution. Works very well.

[frugis]

@HeavyWinds Ok, thanks :)



[AltesseQQ]

@frugis Yes, it's more than enough. Don't listen to him. I have a 60gb ssd and windows 7 ultimate runs just fine. I have 30gb free space too.

[AltesseQQ]

@frugis I also have Corsair Force, but it's v.3, not GT. It works perfectly fine for me, so yours ought to be good. Appropriate PSU. You have a 1tb HDD, so you won't have any storage issues. I recommend you just put the OS and some games/programs you use often on your ssd and make sure to leave about 15-20gb free space. The rest goes on the HDD ofc.

[Sladeofdark]

ive been wanting to get that case for my GF forever

[MrShnuggleMuffins]

Ugly case but nice build!

[frugis]

@MrShnuggleMuffins Ugly case??? what's wrong with you? :o

[Edvin6666]

@frugis GAY hehe

[MrShnuggleMuffins]

Had my gaming rig dpne in 20 minutes haha good for my first build :)

[theshadowstriker100]

no anti static wrist strap you mother fucker you was lucky u didnt fuck it up leave it to the big boys to do

[krzn65]

@theshadowstriker100

I would like to take a poll on how many people actually use an anti static strap. I don't know of anybody. The last time my friends or I used one was back in 96.

[theshadowstriker100]

@krzn65 wow im starting a aprentaship in jan with zenos and they allways use them

[PasterOfPrupets]

nice dud, in a few weeks i wil get my gaming pc :D. i have an old laptop on which i can only play old games, getting an 1300 euro gaming rig now :D! with a nice 24 inch monitor cant wait! wish i could get ur case 2! i was planning on getting it buy due to the price im getting a white 500r Take care !

[Hypertraxable]

whoo, takes you guys long :|

[HeavyWinds]

@Tzenjin Should be a huge upgrade. Are you planning on installing your OS on the 120GB SSD? Intel RRS only uses about 64Gb of a SSD.

[HeavyWinds]

@Tzenjin LoL very true... He ended up getting the same basic build two weeks later. He was able to get a stable 5.0Ghz overclock grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[2point6x4]

this must of cost you about $2000.

[cam94z28]

interesting way to look at a PC build. That said, I'm sorry to say that is one ugly case.

[HeavyWinds]

@cam94z28 I call it the stormtrooper. The case itself is very functional, and for the price a very nice case.

[cam94z28]

@HeavyWinds yeah. It otherwise looks like a nice case. If it came in black I'd probably bite. Though I already have an Antec 300 that serves me well.

[HeavyWinds]

@cam94z28 It does come in black. That is the main color, also sells for a few bucks less than this one.

[cam94z28]

@HeavyWinds thanks. I might actually look at that one for my next build. 

[ksidornseif]

@cam94z your statement makes me believe you enjoy the looks of alienware cases.

[cam94z28]

@ksidornseif How would you gather that from my comment? If you check my original comment I was insulting the looks of the (iPod white, me too!) Corsair case. I don't see how you could equate a sleek Antec Three Hundred case (my current case) to an Alienware. My Antec happens to be the Illusion model with blue led's, but would have preferred without.

[BulliesandHoodlums]

I have never seen a man with a beer gut like yours cross his legs like that!!!.

You must wear woman's panties to do a thing like that !!!!

[HeavyWinds]

@BulliesandHoodlums Quit picturing me in panties. I will /kick you ;)

[kanekewl14]

I have the same motherboard and processor and I think its safe to say that they are the best out there. In quality, price, and performance. Also that case is amazing as well. Best one I have seen yet.

[amfshultz]

How's all that static discharge working for you bro?

[alexbeast14]

@amfshultz Obviously there was none considering the PC is fine.

[HeavyWinds]

@amfshultz I built about 3000-5000 computers. Mostly servers and workstations. Its really difficult to damage computer parts if you handle them well but I do use my sun micro systems bracelet if I notice excessive static.

[kbradner112]

So cool computer... where do you live?

[HeavyWinds]

@kbradner112 Minnesota, and no..you can use it while Im at work. 

[m4ht1sonni]

i7 2600k 4,8 ghz with stock cooler, i almost believe it

[HeavyWinds]

@m4ht1sonni I use a Corsair H50 with a push pull setup. I did not have it the day of the video. I would have gotten the h100 but it was not out.

[emgee65]

You cross your legs funny.

[MarkSkrams]

can you mount a h100 on the top of the case? and is the airflow good?

[HeavyWinds]

@MarkSkrams Yes, this case was made with the H100 in mind. You mount it in the inside of the case but the fans go on the top (under the screen/vent) What Im not sure if there is room for a Push/Pull fan setup.

[MarkSkrams]

@HeavyWinds thank you.

[oskarchust1]

looks a bit like mac pro

[Rodskin744]

Wow... nice specs dude.

[n00baTr00pa]

RTFM lol

[HenryFeefan]

"What a PC build really looks like" *

[HeavyWinds]

@HenryFeefan Changed the title. I like yours better.

[HenryFeefan]

@HeavyWinds haha NICE

[Puzzoozoo]

Good show, that's the easy bit done, the real fun comes when you switch the thing on and start configuring the bios and all the other bits so it all works correctly. lol

[mpalen19]

I really like the Corsair case, the only problem that prevents me from getting it is the lack of USB 3.0 headers.

[HeavyWinds]

@mpalen19 It has one USB 3 header up top/front and two USB 2.0. The USB 3 is blue.

[mpalen19]

@HeavyWinds Doesn't it have a usb 3.0 pass through cable that routes to the back of the case because that's how I thought that's how this case was designed?

[StrokedGT]

@mpalen19 it has USB 3.0 pass through, im gonna get something like this USB 3.0 card from newegg PN# N82E16815124101, has a slot that can power the top port and an extra 3 ports for the back. This is case extremely nice, cant wait to start my build after christmas

[mpalen19]

@StrokedGT Cool, Maybe Corsair will update it soon?

[StrokedGT]

@mpalen19 would be nice, just leave the towers looks intact but add a second USB 3.0 port up top. a USB 3.0 header on a motherboard powers 2 ports, so if they put a header plug it would be wasting 1 port up top. I imagine they figured most boards at the time they released the case didnt have a header on the board. check out what this guy did in this video at around 6:45, although I dont really like it. watch?v=iFUO_RwTDg8

[schreech7202]

@HeavyWinds it has 1x 3.0 and 4x 2.0.

Got one jjust like yours, such a nice made case in my mind.

[tibothenr]

:o are you on carpet ?

if you are youre very lucky you didnt frie your system

[GGameBoy11]

gahhhh! put the power drill away before you strip sometihng!

[iNorris9786]

Within the scope of Intel procs, good choice on the Z68 chipset. At the same time, I frown when I see everyone grabbing for the "almighty" i7. I will bet anything that the mobos designed explicitly for Ivy Bridge wont be backwards compatible. That's the reason I eventually went with the AMD Phenom x6 and an AM3+ mobo. AMD is soooo good about backwards compatability.

[tiotito31]

@iNorris9786 I grabbed the Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 mobo. It's excellent, and is future proof with PCIe 3.0 for when ivy comes out. Also has an insane amount of other features, all for the cost of 155. Rated 5 stars right now. Another option for anyone about to build.

[TechTipsForYou]

Don't you just love the feeling of putting the last part and then feeling like a boss when it powers up. Good vid man.

[cadebonds]

How much did this all cost???

[Harkster5]

Love everything about that case. Just wish I could fit a 360 radiator in one without moding the case.

[HeavyWinds]

@Harkster5 You could fit a Corsair H100. I think the case was made for it. The fan goes on top under the screen and the radiator under.

[Harkster5]

@HeavyWinds Yea just that that is a 240 radiator. They are great for just the CPU but I am looking to do a custom loop with the CPU and GPU (And eventually more). To effectively cool both I need a larger rad.

[MattCat8]

@HeavyWinds but a h100 inst is shit

[HeavyWinds]

@MattCat8 Im a HardOCP fan. They really like all of the H series coolers. Only problem with a few is noise, to us games...that is a non issue. I guess the downside to a H100 is price around 110 bucks.

[lvpd742]

600t se <3

[TheYozStudios]

Nice vid, how'd u ground yourself?



[HarajukuEnvy]

@TheYozStudios I was thinking same thing too when he was all touchy feely with the mobo D:

Especially on carpet!

[TheYozStudios]

@HarajukuEnvy lol, say word bro, its amazing how he didnt really mess anything up, but he's bare foot and in no socks, that should help generate less static, oh well lol

[darealfabio4]

Traffic by Tiesto

[doluseb]

First: Cool music, Second: build in 7 mins = cool lol third: why you go 5870?

[HeavyWinds]

@doluseb Thanks. I have a GTX 570 in it at the moment. Runs almost everything very well at 2560x1600. I had the 5870 from a older build. Great card but it did not have CUDA i needed for Adobe products.

[3822218]

Do all westerners sit like that 1:49, I don't know BUT there is something wrong about it.

[HeavyWinds]

@3822218 Its of form of geek meditation ;)

[3HACKRZ]

why did you put the ram cpu and psu in after the mobo. and in the vid you put the stock cooler on

[HeavyWinds]

@3HACKRZ I guess more room to work with; but i can see your point if I did it the other way. I just like to have the most amount of room to plug in all the wires and screw down the MB.

[3HACKRZ]

@HeavyWinds no problem every one does it different any way. nice build though and nice case.

[3HACKRZ]

why did you put the ram cpu and psu in after the mobo.

[iMatthewTV]

Not a cheap build

[NikyRipy]

what is the function of 64Gb C300 SSD for Intel SSD Caching?

[HeavyWinds]

@NikyRipy Well....It is supposed to turn your 2Tb (or any size HD) in to a fast SSD. It puts all frequently requested data on the SSD. It uses the intel raid to do it.

[Shift4g]

It's crazy how many people have done this exact same build without knowing it.

[cowlefrbeify]

whats this song?

[HeavyWinds]

@cowlefrbeify Artist: Tiesto

[MixerGamingHD]

nice

[cy2087]

Outstanding!! I choose the Graphite edition of the same case for my upcoming build. I actually laughed watching this. Thanks for the upload. I'm curious...did you overclock? Are you happy with the H50? (Looking at the H100 or H80 myself) Why did you put mobo in b4 PSU? I didn't get to see all your components. Did you post a list? What's the rig's main use? Hope you enjoy it man.

[HeavyWinds]

@cy2087 @cy2087 My friend has the same setup (MB CPU and RAM); he has it at 5.0Ghz. All he did is follow the hardocp review for the asus MB for overclock settings. I have it at 4.5. If all you do is play games, you can get it up to 5.0Ghz and it will never crash on you; if you do lots of video editing or anything that maxes your CPU out for long lengths of time..then you might want to do a 4.5 or 4.6 OC.

[HeavyWinds]

@cy2087 The H50 works great when you set it up with two fans (google push pull H50 setup) I would have gotten the H100 if it was out.

[HeavyWinds]

@cy2087 I use it for photo and video editing...also games. I had to swap the AMD/ATI video cards for Nvidia due to adobe only supporting CUDA. I use a 570 GTX and it runs most games great on my U3011 @2560x1600

[Nagby3]

@HeavyWinds for the best cooling you should take a noctua D14 phantek cpu cooler or silver arrow with phanteks fans

[FlyingSujin67]

this isnt like in real life... you forgot poptarts and mountain dew (pizza or red bull is also accepted)

[HeavyWinds]

@FlyingSujin67 That is what im doing off camera. I have a 12 pack of 2 liter bottles. ;)

[AkimboDice1]

@HeavyWinds LOL XD

[Leapmanster]

Which case is this?

[HeavyWinds]

@Leapmanster Corsair 600T Special White Edition

Very nice case and not too expencive

[Pirtex2]

wow you really fiddle with the cables , and LOL your friend is going bold

[HeavyWinds]

@Pirtex2 Yes, this was not a speed build since newegg took 10 days to ship out Memory. (I did not have it for a week after i built it) Never use Egg saver shipping by the way.

In real life, this is how it goes. Takes you 25 mins to get all the parts in there and over a hour to get the cables right. I had to unziptie the cables several times. Anyway, Works great now. Running on H50 liquid cooling at 4.8Ghz.

[Pirtex2]

@HeavyWinds Cool,hope you have fun with it
