Building the Ultimate Computer: Edition 8

[cutiekazoe10]

The heat spreaders on your RAM modules are massive!!!!

[SuperMangn]

Everyone should sub to this guy, he is a great person. I asked him and his friends on a website years ago to help me and they were very polite and were more than happy to help.

[doomtomb3]

Smart component selection and excellent build procedure! Great camera work, you should thank your friend.

[dannmclaughlin]

does nobody feel that a 1kw PSU is a little over the top for a single gtx 470?

[xXH3ll5xB3llXx]

That is and never was "the Ultimate Computer".

[3astsacgam3rs]

what book are u constantly referring to?

[sciguy14]

@3astsacgam3rs Motherboard manual

[Faetterguf123]

thats a pretty mad pc

[MrTabarnaco2]

dude... Your computer has not enough RAM !!! :P

[JohnAngusFTW]

lol after 2:00 think we've all done that, start installing the motherboard while forgetting the install the io shield plate and having to take it out again! haha

[TheLordofConvix]

looks like mine but not as bamf...

and where are the SSD's?

[TheLordofConvix]

looks like mine but not as bamf...

[LetsPlayGamiing]

what's the point in getting a high end motherboard that supports multi gpu.... and your only using 1 graphics card!!!! you make me angryy!!!!!

[xboxoxzx]

what a terrible way to install a heat sink.... always tin aka smear a light coat then wipe it off. use a powder free latex glove and smear just enough past on so you can still read the heat spreader on the processor, torque the heat sink down equally in a cross pattern. I bet you would drop the idle temps of that system 5 to 10 degrees.

[WhatiDoWhenBoredv2]

Will this run pacman?

[Triple226]

@WhatiDoWhenBoredv2 That's a stupid question, of course not! Computers won't be able to run pacman for the next 20 - 30 years when they will be 100 times more expensive and 10 times larger!

[eddie9005]

Nice Computer, it is Cooler Master? :)

[kevinstampe]

never mount anything in a pci slot while the pc is standing! the pc could tip over, or the pci port could break, if you loose control of the gfx. always lay the computer down!

[rjwiuff]

Amateurs ..

[sakuos]

@rjwiuff and your then professional computer builder...?

[reuben5922]

did you stop making ultimate computers .?

its been like 10 months .!

and can you show one of your computers in action.?

[12danny21]

is it better to have the power supply on the bottom or top. i assume if it was on the bottom the heat from it will rise up into the main area. i just want you to clarify this for me thanks

[Bike643]

Ummmmmm Don't You guys ever do SLI Or CrossFireX? I mena the Cards you put in are great But I mean two is better than one

[Bike643]

Ummmmmm Don't You guys ever do SLI Or CrossFireX? I mena the Cards you put in are great But I mean two is better than one

[TheSkeleton2010]

how much did this cost?

[zshobuz]

stupid question but do you have to install fans if your GPU already has one?

[gamesera]

Man, i bet i could play pac man maxed out on settings on that rig.

[italianorecordings]

This dont beat my 8 core mac ...

[NarutoShikamaruKiba]

@italianorecordings its a PC, it already beat it.

[Reggis420]

@NarutoShikamaruKiba For half the price.

[NarutoShikamaruKiba]

@Reggis420 And no hardware customization; So theoretically you could have to pay for 2 Macs compared to a PC and 1 part

[NarutoShikamaruKiba]

@Reggis420 Not too mention the i7 is probably the most expensive thing in the computer, when it was made with the graphics card being a close 2nd. And you could always just go with an AMD processor, atm their best one (1100T) is running only $200.

[anotaren79]

@italianorecordings no ofcourse not mr.clapton..

[Reggis420]

@italianorecordings Yes it does, for half the price

[NarutoShikamaruKiba]

@Reggis420 *facepalm* my bad just relized what u ment to say lol. but i did post good info if anyone needed more proof that PC > Mac

[qtopthisq]

@italianorecordings macs are so shit its not even funny

[TehNoobSeries]

Thats all cool and all... But will it Blend? O_o

[THEBLACKPATRIOT1]

why would people come on these guys page just to criticise them and brag about how much better their rig is. NO ONE CARES. make your own video. i think these guys do good work.

[NhPks]

white and nerdy

[polishfreak36]

@NhPks White and jealous

[basildiy]

too much power for that computer + the wire management sucks !! my computer has a better wire management and my power supply is not modular : processor : I7 920 @ 2.66 Ghz + 4 GB DDR3 from Corsair + HIS ATI Radeon HD4870X2 2GB DDR5 2x 256-bit video card + Vantec ION2+ VAN 600W power supply + Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 motherboard + Cooler ZEROtherm CORE92 processor air cooler and it works perfectly, and this is the third year since I have it. Next time try to do it better ;) and try water cooling

[Cam5X5]

=D I'd be interested to see a water/phase/etc cooled pc. That would be neat. I know you have a mineral water one but yah...

[joefaetheblock]

Good vid, how do you avoid static, I don't see a wrist band.

[hl2ep3]

@joefaetheblock when you see them putting the CPU cooler on the mobo, you see it's all on a anti-static mat.

[CockatooFilms]

@joefaetheblock You don't really need a static wrist band to avoid esd, just make sure your touching the case alot and touch the metal pins of a socket. And ofcourse don't wear nylon, wool etc etc. It has the same effect as a wrist band.

[LanceTheBlue]

@CockatooFilms or you can sever connection to main supply and hold the power button for a few seconds. Then all your worries are gone.

[2604KP]

Thermal compound was not put on properly.

[Shkarya]

GeForce fail

[trickmytruck32]

ok for how much

[trickmytruck32]

do u guys build them and sell them because thats alot of computers u guys have built

[sciguy14]

@trickmytruck32 They are usually for friends.

[ThatOcarinaKid]

@sciguy14 Can I have one? :(

[tripp2984]

@sciguy14 did you bench build it first ??? or did you just slap it together and hoped it worked?

[sciguy14]

@tripp2984 Well I picked parts that would work together...

[acogscopepwn]

stick a gtx 560 ti msi in there than overclock it to 1 ghz less power draw and heat

[MrIdontknowanyname]

Is my specs good?

Intel Pentium dual core E2140 1.6Ghz with Axis Nvidia Geforce GT 220 1gb DDR3 and 2gb ram with 100gb hard drive.

[dirty1smelly1turban]

@MrIdontknowanyname wtf? for what? gaming? video editing? watching porn? you cant just randomly comment "is my specs good?" on a video. also, its "are my specs good?". and your specs are only good for surfing the net, word and easy stuff. get a new pc. how old is it? 6 years? 5?

[MrIdontknowanyname]

@dirty1smelly1turban OPPS FOR GAMING OF COURSE :p

[dirty1smelly1turban]

@MrIdontknowanyname you should build a new pc, my dads pc has almost the same specs, he decided to just upgrade it up to 4gb ram and a new 1tb hard drive. but he's not planning on playing video games on it. you should build a new one. tell me your budget, and i could recommend you some parts.

[MrIdontknowanyname]

@MrIdontknowanyname for gaming

[worldofurin]

@MrIdontknowanyname no

[dammpe2]

@MrIdontknowanyname You have a very old and slow processor

[FutureComputing]

@MrIdontknowanyname crappy computer is crappy

[Syderer]

i like that case

[JoytekProductions]

Can you make a video of this playing latest games?

[l1vefordaweekend]

0:37shaking Blum.

[Pwnzistor]

I just built my rig recently, Phenom2 x6@3GHz, OCing as soon as I quit being lazy and install the xigmatek HDP heat unit I got for it... 8GB DDR3 1333, OCing as son as warranty wears off.. and GTX470, all in the NZXT Phantom case, runs everyth9ing I want it to.. price was around 900 or so

[fartmonkey200]

i would use speedy cash to skip ads

[The91489]

again with the intel and nvidia junk dude come on make a real machine not a toy i mean hell

[Emeengor]

its just a good rig.... far away from being the ultimate one.... + besides its not ultimate synthesis i dont aggree general about the component matching... think its a not so good waste of money...

[fearfulAC130]

what would help with lag the most: an i7 processor or a really good video card??

[sciguy14]

@fearfulAC130 In video games? You don't want one to bottleneck the other too much, so they should be well matched. However, a video card is more important for video game graphics.

[fearfulAC130]

@sciguy14 what about the i5 vs the GTX 460 video card, help fight lag better? and yes in video games speciffically in flight simulator

[ClicheOk]

@sciguy14 so like an i7 940 and a gtx 480 would be a decent combo?

[retromelon123]

wow..... those ocz ram modules are snazzy !!

[nasser68fr]

love that !!!! you end your brother do very very good job !

[DanSNorth]

Well, Its a nice setup. But its by no means an Ultimate pc.

The pc I built for my office is higher spec.

You spent a lot of cash on some pretty peices, and then thew a junk ass i7 in there. And was that triple channel memory with a dual channel cpu controller ?

Fun watching the vid though. Im a data center tech, so I spend my life building servers. I should do some time lapse :P

[moomee237]

@DanSNorth you seem to know nothing about i7s if you think they are garbage...... my 920 is overkill for every day tasks and gaming. He isn't its not like he's going to put dual Xeon's or a magny cours in a home computer.......

[moomee237]

@DanSNorth lol, you seem to know nothing about home computing demands, its a gaming computer not a high power work station, its not like hes going to put dual Xeons or some freaking G34 in it. I assure you he is not doing Scalable Fluid Simulation using Anisotropic Turbulence Particles, or some insane workload, he will be fine with what he bought.

[nairda9791]

Can you watch movies on it?

[sciguy14]

@nairda9791 of course.

[qtopthisq]

@nairda9791 rofl

[fredhell13]

Dude, u seem to have parkinson :O

[einarknutsen]

why getting that pro motherboard witch can handle like triple sli. all that money wasted cuz you only have single card!

[sciguy14]

@einarknutsen Got the board for half off.

[einarknutsen]

@sciguy14 Smart. smart

[lochaaystewart4]

@einarknutsen Why dont you spend the time getting extra english tuition classes instead of trolling youtube videos.

[einarknutsen]

@lochaaystewart4 well. it was MENT to be a JOKE! but apparently you don`t get it. but anyway it was just a question so calm down.

[strownsall3]

@theRAGEclanmw2 how? rnt u suppose to spread it??

[sciguy14]

@strownsall3 No, watch my other video on applying thermal paste.

[kkGodzilla]

Wondering why you are not installing a second video card and no sign of a sound card. If this is supposed to be an ultimate system I'd think you'd be going SLi and using a PCI-e Creative Fatality card.

[bizzlemedia]

How wonderful! You've inspired me to make another one of these. I did one about 2 years ago.

[saikai]

I wish I had the money to build something like that.. T_T... in a few years when i graduate and get a job....lol

[manchesterfc007]

is evga a trustable brand for motherboards and video cards? btw...i am 13 years and wish to learn and assemble comps. i cant be watching videos and learning. thats part of it. i need a real pc to deal with. know any good place to learn? where did u guys start??

[LashByLash69]

@manchesterfc007 EVGA is top notch. You also get a 90day step-up program with each graphics card you buy which basically means that if you for example buy a good card X now for 200$, but a better card Y(300$) comes out in a 90-day period from your purchase you can send back card X+100$ in exchange for card Y. I'm not sure that you get a full 100% price cut-off but it won't be much less if I'm wrong.

Google/youtube for graphic card reviews before your purchase, it helps a lot on your decission.

[codebanditx]

the 12 dislikes are mac users

[ESPdude1988]

Is something wrong with the website?? ultimatecomputers . n e t  can't seem to load it.

[LukeHawkins02]

not gunna lie, thats sweet, this is NOT for people to LEARN how to build a computer, go to other videos if you want that, tis is just them demonstrating because they are building from the VERY bare bones and i mean BARE bones, these computer parts are so advanced and delicate they have to be built afterwards, sciguy14 you chat our your ass :)

[Mitsu3000gt515]

So how can I upgrade to a good gaming computer? I want to get this processor AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor ADX640WFGMBOX

This mobo Biostar A770E ATX AMD Socket AM2+ Motherboard with 4xDDR2, LAN, Audio and a geforce 460 gtx cyclone graphics card all that into a Dell precision 670 with 3 gig of ram does that sound good or what else should I get in the same kinda price range?

[mexinugget69]

your videos make me want to splooge!!! keep it up man!

[PowerProductionsNL]

Nice Video!!

[nohomo1234567890]

I spent this weekend relearning(from childhood) all about computer components and the potential of a custom-built computer..and now I see the utterly RETARDEDNESS of my buying of a mac, or spending any large amount of money when such an epitome of a computer could be built with less money...why doesn't everyone make their own computer?

[ASFALT21]

whats the black rug-like thing ur building it on? The antistatic rug?

PC looks badass, think my PC just lost some RAM while I was watching this vid :D

[Dogd92]

How much money did you guys spend on for all of this?

[sciguy14]

@Dogd92 Around 1500 for this one.

[kowalski077]

Very good job! I like to have an equal. Congratulations, excellent video. Thanks for sharing, your project.

[cygmarx]

Great hardware for the most part but you should try Arctic Silver 5 for your thermal compound - it's amazing stuff.

I don't mean any disrespect either but your hands are VERY shaky too. Nervous much? :P

Awesome video.

[cesar1310]

the ocz ram °_° so sexy!

[StevenEdit]

so ugly

[gergy008]

Not exactly ultimate if you don't have i7 980X :D

[Bx1337Production]

Dude, what PSU should i get for

- HD4850

- AMD Phenom X4 955 3.2 Ghz

550W Corsair is enough?

[sciguy14]

@Bx1337Production should be enough, but it doesn't give you much room to grow.

[Bx1337Production]

@sciguy14 then what do u recommend me for 80 euros/dollars?

[gergy008]

@Bx1337Production A piece of shit? Get a job.

[Bx1337Production]

@gergy008 You're the only piece of shit with mental diseases here, how bout u show your nerdrage somewhere else

now go cut some grass mexitroll

[sciguy14]

@Bx1337Production You might have to spend closer to 100, and I'd go for 650 or 700W to give you growing room.

[Ionaras13]

ultimate pc and u are using the Dark Knight??? :(

[sciguy14]

@Ionaras13 It's a good cooler, and I get awesome temps. What's the issue? I'm reusing it from my last iteration.

[Ionaras13]

@sciguy14 i had this cooler before... its definately a very good cooler but not the ''ultimate'' one... also i was not intenting to tell u off with my comment.

[GruntyStudios]

@Ionaras13 Well this isn't an Ultimate computer, either. If it was, there would be multiple video cards and possibly multiple CPUs.

[IRud3Bwoy]

O hey its the motherboard i sold you =).hope you enjoy it more than me bro lol

[sciguy14]

@IRud3Bwoy It's workin out great! Thanks!

[gillygoat2]

I must say you do the best computer builds. You're pro :)

[sciguy14]

@gillygoat2 Thanks!

[RaidenRaccoon2]

Where do you buy your supplies? (like that awesome heatsink & motherboard!)

[sciguy14]

@RaidenRaccoon2 Generally Newegg, though I bought the motherboard off of somebody who got it and didn't use it.

[mclock5]

thats for me!? XD

[RamoneTalarico]

Theres that Tissot again! =)

[techkid100]

I waited for ages for this.

[roejames12]

OCZ is awesome.

[PUBL1CxEN3MYxD]

you selling this thing?

[daryleb]

so price wise how much was this project in total

[sciguy14]

@daryleb About 1500.

[narocho96]

how do you guys get the money for these computers

[sciguy14]

@narocho96 I work for it.

[muffemod]

@narocho96 get a job sparkling wiggles

[j3k2006]

Could you make a new one with Quad crossfire and a 980X i7 pretty please? :D

[sciguy14]

@j3k2006 Maybe if you give me the money... :)

[zentetsu32]

yea you shouldent use the words Ultimate.. You should put building a very well rounded pc.. To many guys on youtube building real Ultimate computers.. Your is decent at best.. Just word things correctly dont word it to get youtube views cause I tuned in to see an Ultimate computer dont be missleading.. Thanks for the vid though its decent..

[HHBones]

@zentetsu32 You gotta be shitting me. I DREAM of having a computer as powerful as that. I don't even come close to it. Don't be another immature arrogant rich kid who doesn't realize that others can't afford the stuff you can

[zentetsu32]

@HHBones

dont be jelous..

Cant help it if your daddy is a bum or you are.. Get out and make some money its great America is becomming you ethier have it or your broke 3rd world bum! I love it! Latter uneducated broke asshole..

[uItimate99]

how long u guys take to assembly it?

[sciguy14]

@uItimate99 A Few Hours

[comerjoshua716]

Get the classified sr2 mobo build going and then I will be impressed

[drawanime]

not bad

[metalmulishaMTX]

I'll bet that was cheap haha...budget??

[jonaqwerty]

Good build, but hardly the ultimate computer.

[koalabear2]

Im exetremly surprized how their motherboard didnt break of ESD

[hibbijo]

They didnt even spread the thermal paste -____-

[sciguy14]

@hibbijo That's the best way to apply it.

[hibbijo]

@sciguy14 Hm. I've always been told and seen to spread it. But looks like you have more experience with this stuff than I do so :P

[shotokun16]

@hibbijo

Ya i mean both methods are equally good. Using the credit card and a pea blot. For the AMD CPUS you need to spread it, the temp sensors on AMDS are historically erratic and its best to spread on a AMD. Intels r pretty good at temp sets and spreading it as you apply the CPU cooler is also great.

[Mongoman999]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BUILD!

I plan on, one day, building my own like this. Currently I run a Dual Core @3.0GHz Stock, on a P5Q-EM with 6GB 1GHz RAM. I've got a crappy nVidia 9600GT for graphics, and an age old 230w power supply. Yes, you read correctly, 230w. No choice but to use it though XD

I plan on a EVGA Classified board with an i7, probably the cheapest you can get though because I'm not one that has money to burn.

Anyways, I love your build!

[ycrnet]

Nc build buddy...........:D

[CruelQuertos]

loooool, fail

[r3ap3rjay7]

Great vid, and pokemezz your a douche, you should go slow and take time with builds so you don't fuck shit up,

[productfeedback]

Now just need to paint the case black.

[productfeedback]

Hi Guys

Nice video, pretty much exactly the same as my pc. Could you please explain in a video on how to overclock the X58 with the 930x. To make it run at that 3.2Ghz.

Thanks

[sciguy14]

@productfeedback 3.4 GHz, I turned up the voltage just a little bit, and just raised the bus speed. I also adjusted the RAM timing.

[pokemezz]

2 Ugly GEEKS FAIL AT what they should do BEST

[pokemezz]

Complete newbs, i can build that in 1hour and the end result > then this crap >.> they look at manual to plug power reset and USB ROFL XD

[sciguy14]

@pokemezz Try building a computer while filming every little detail (often many times over and from different angles) and tell me how long it takes you. How long it takes to put together is meaningless. I'd much rather build it over several hours and have it turn out really nice, than build it quickly and have it look like crap. Also, the LED polarities weren't marked on the board so I had to check the book. You probably would've just plugged it in backwards during your speed-build.

[Mongoman999]

@sciguy14 I hate people that think they're better than others.

[sequencius]

@pokemezz this guy knows what he's doing.

[muffemod]

Grats! A very nice build.

[greenhornet123]

Great awesome build what song did you use?

[sciguy14]

@greenhornet123 Read the description.

[xenarian]

Epic win. How much did this cost? I would guess something like $4000 or so.

I kind of want to build one of these.

[sciguy14]

@xenarian closer to 15 or 1600.

[YawwdSM]

That is some weird looking ram.

[Chruzha]

Isn't it easier if you install the pci-e card with the PC lying down?

And how long did this take in real time? :D

Anyway, awesome comp, nice vid :)

[sciguy14]

@Chruzha Around 5 hours in real time. But that also included filming the thermal paste tutorial.
