Gaming PC Build 2009 - NZXT Lexa Blueline (Zalman 9700 Led noise test)

[MrErnestasLT]

What is love? baby, dont hurt me :D 

[dynd]

Do you remember your wallpaper? I like it :P

[TheSbProduction]

1:28 is some kind of lcd which tells heat, right? I'm thinking buying this case is it good?

[funnyfootballs]

1:30 look at the light :O

It's perfect timing with the music :)

[ndogg360]

Maxtor hard drives are terrible. Other than that. This is a really nice rig.

[Karlskogasstolthet]

:) I thought I was the only one with that kind of graphic card ;P my friends are joking with me and they laugh at me just because I got a graphic card that is upside down

[jjshuak]

got to give it to yu that is sweet

[SierraHawkProduction]

It would be a better setup if you put your sub on the floor and you r tower on the table... when the tower is on the floor, it sucks up a lot of dusts.

[MagicParadise85]

@SierraHawkProduction

Hi bro, this video is old....see my new setup clicking on the link under the description of this video

[MrWonnabee]

SIDEWINDER GAMING MOUSE FTW!!

[Antorove24]

Nice Pc

[hyperactivecalvino]

Never understood why people with "surround sound" put their front & rear speakers in the same area... Just doesn't match up with me.

[MikeKoshko]

is that an 80mm or 120 on the bottom? I've got the same chassis but there is just an 80mm filter on the bottom. Did you customize it?

[MetalPower86]

sweet rig man i think im gonna get that same case

[SolDey81]

Ah.. So beautiful..

[kilouno1963]

nice setup but it is obvious that you little it but electronics move the speaker away for the monitor the magnetic field my fuck the monitor

[hubiladd]

every thing is perfect but see the hdd cables ! put the hdd other way to the window better effect im telling you !!

[dark1entity2005]

Nice Build, But I would definitely fill those ram slots.

[drocks22]

where did you get your mouse pad?

[ipor2]

I just got a NZXT Lexa Redline :) The same comp but mine is red

[67CopperHead]

nice gaming PC u got there

[ZR3FR1K]

I used to have that mouse.

[kokumosu]

im 18 not too smart about technological things but i was wondering how hard is it to make a gaming pc i know that its best to get a big casing for more circulation

[PObserver]

Not particularly hard. It just requires that you monitor your CPU temperatures to confirm you applied the TIM and HSF properly.

[kokumosu]

TIM and HSF what are those

[PObserver]

Thermal Interface Material and HeatSink and Fan.

[kokumosu]

oh that stuff .

[PObserver]

Yeah, you want to monitor temperatures to prevent failure. I got an outdated Lian Li case with a modern AM3 Phenom II x4 (965) and it's just not blowing out enough of the hot air. I'm thinking about modding the back to have a 120mm fan or swapping the 80mm fans for something more powerful. Drops 12c just from removing the side panel.

[kokumosu]

how many watts is you psu

[PObserver]

620 modular. Corsair.

[kokumosu]

try getting another fan in it if possible

[PObserver]

Yeah, I'm also looking at Lian Li's case parts where they have a side panel that fits my case with slots for 2 140mm fans to suck air out of the case.

[DarkAsianRice]

@kokumosu that's not really true...You can get a mid tower, and just do some excellent wire management, such as tucking it behind your case to get maximum airflow. Also You want positive airflow, like, Not where the front bezel is sucking in air, while the back/side/top are too sucking in air...you might want to look at a case that allows you to change configurations, HAF 932/22 are great cases...but I'll get back when I do. Its all about air flow.

[combossss]

hehehe NZXT Lexa Blueline Edition Gaming Case is a limitel edtion you cannot finde it any more but i know where it is im not gonne tell it

im gona but one for my self (LOL only one left at store better hurry up)

[ShitpommfritFraz]

Yay, i got the Sidewinder X8!

Loving the wireless feel to it, still it feels like a gaming mouse!

[Adidas4me]

can't wait til i get mine in the mail :)! i am so pumped!!!!!!

[stick00it]

Triple channel is 3 lanes running from the DIMM's to the CPU. Currently the high end i7's and AMD chips use triple channel on their motherboards. Now the low end i5's, i7's ect. run dual channel DDR3 DIMM's to the CPU. Socket 775's run 2 lanes dual channel DDR2. Low end i5, i7 run dual channel DDR3. The highend i7's run DDR3 triple channel. The triple channel boards are a lot more and the ram is DDR3 3 module kits. (2GBX3) 6, 12, 24 ect.

[MtnXfreeride]

yeah, you and I are talking about two different things. I understand the concept of triple channel and dual channel boards. I cant even remember seeing dual channel i7 boards when I built mine 10 months ago, everything was triple channel. But the memory kits are not needed. If it says triple channel kit it only means its three of the same stick that works for any DDR3 board, which you can purchase individually as well if cheaper.

[stick00it]

so what you're saying is all triple channel boards are backwards compatible with dual channel kits? And if so why wouldn't you just buy DDR3 triple channel ram bc you said they were the same price?

[MtnXfreeride]

In this guys case, maybe he could only afford 2 sticks at the time.. then later on maybe have money for the third. So dual channel at first, then triple channel later on.

[MrWonnabee]

where is the noise test?

[MtnXfreeride]

Love the Zalman, they really add a lot to a custom build.

Upgraded to windows 7 yet?

If this were my build I would have spent the little extra money to get an i7, then your DDR3 could run in triple channel and its a faster processor being a quad core. You can overclock an i7 920 to 3.4ghz easily.

[stick00it]

A little more money? It would be a lot more money. The cpu (i7 920) is over half of the e8500. Plus when you figure the 1366 mobo's and DDR3 Ram are a lot more expensive than a socket 775 mobo. I would have been a 400-500 dollar difference and that is a lot considering he only spent around 800.

[MtnXfreeride]

I dont understand what you mean by the DDR3 costing more, he already bought DDR3, he can use it and get a 3rd for triple channel at any time down the road. A 1366 mobo costs the same as a 775, its just a different socket, the only difference in price would be the processor, which 8 months ago was about a $130 difference. 8 months ago, that mobo was averaging $240, he spent more than $800 unless he has access to special deals. (like working for BBY or Intel) $130 more isnt much.

[stick00it]

man you might want to look up what tripple channel is lol DDR3 has nothing to do with triple channel

[MtnXfreeride]

You can run dual channel on a triple channel board, and IF later on you buy a third stick of the SAME memory it will run in triple channel. Intel DX58SO for example can do this,(it does triple channel but has 4 mmry dimms) which costs less than his Asus MOBO here. The memory doesn't cost more, it is the same stuff. My 3x2GB DDR3 @ 1600Mhz was $70 off newegg(shellshocker). This guy went top of the line on everything but the CPU, im just saying it wouldnt have been much more to go for the i7

[stick00it]

but wouldn't running dual channel defeat the purpose of having more data flow? YES and fairly no boards can run both. Shellshocker maybe...but the prices now are $100 for dual to tri. At the time when he built it would have been a substantial amount of money. I tried upgrading to i7, mobo, and tri. =$650 ha i'll stick with my current system!

[wmanns11]

classic song but some how its works really well.

[HenryLove636]

Ha im getting that case but my custom computer will be 10x better than that but with a lexa S

2x Radeon 5870 XFX

Intel i7 975 (gunna oc to 4.0ghz)

Im gunna cut some more holes in the Lexa S to add a giant fan.

8gb ram and gunna pro mod the case :)

[ZR0SuM]

@HenryLove636 Yeah that case is a bit small for those cards (reasonable space & not to mention heat) This guys got a great set up. you should seriously consider a full tower that is if you mean what you say and if you do, touting you much better you stuff is gonna be post it up.

Stop hating with the talking and start the Walking.

[stick00it]

LMFAO a i7 975? are you a noob? Its called overclocking! Overclocking can save you 1 grand lol and how will you run 8gb of ram? The i7's (975) is triple channel dimms so it would be 6gb 12, 18, 24 ect. NUB!

[mhaneline]

Not all i7 chips use triple channel. 800 series i7 chips use the LGA1156 socket, which is dual channel.

[stick00it]

I know but he was specifically talking about the i7 extreme cpu and it runs triple channel dimms

[mhaneline]

Ahh gotcha, my bad.

[osalas254]

ima get the same computer but with a 28 inch monitor.

[armetron]

I found it very funny that the working light in front of you case matched the beet of the song.

[Roygevaar]

I have got the same Chase but mine SYS never goes higher than 35 Celsius

[trsdavid14]

i have the same monitor as you :D

[YILMAZ0077489]

you cpu low ım core i7 860

[iloveyouyet]

nice!!!!!

[MetallicAus]

awesome rig, enjoy it

[AzectLord]

how much does this all cost?

[royalfighter94]

about 1000€ or more

[thomaswnc]

alle chujowo rostawione pffff

[zayres29]

nice build man watch my vid at let me know what you think of my new build its my first one and im just curious to how it compares to other peoples on youtube

[RAGNOR94]

wow your...mouse pad has..leds?

Whats it called? and where did you get it!?

Thats awesome

[MagicParadise85]

The brand of mpad is Hama...but it hasn't a code or model,,,i bought it in a tecnology's megastore here in Italy

[RAGNOR94]

that thing is really nice, i dont see any hama products with those sexy leds :P

send me some!

[CrazyDood69]

No LEDs on the RAM? Aw man. :)

[wushuk1ng]

Is the mouse pad flexible?

[MagicParadise85]

No...

[zioboby]

4 speakers and a subwoofer all on the same desk at high volume would crash your ears

[drjedo]

hey man i like your setup :]

do you use that pc for gaming?

[wilson0kid0inc]

@drjedo - Not to be rude but read the tittle.

[drjedo]

lol sorry bout that.. it completely passed me by since i was glued to the actual build :o

[metaleater9]

so a fan can be mounted on the bottom filter

[MagicParadise85]

that's not properly the case with the best cooling but air flow is good enough....for aesthetics i think is one of the best looking chassis ever made

[JamieandhisIbanez]

does raid 0 make that much of a difference? not sure whether to do it or not

[MagicParadise85]

My opinion...yes! Raid 0 makes the difference

[JamieandhisIbanez]

do u have all your files just chucked on that raid drive then? and where does it make the difference, boot times, program load times? and how much of a difference? thanks

[MagicParadise85]

it makes the difference everywhere....performance in read/write of hdds in raid 0 are 50% higher than asingle sata hard drive

[wushuk1ng]

Twice the read and write speeds.

[ghostpep]

tv , ok impianto ok

speaker and woofer of shit

[Quagmire88]

lol as soon as i heard the song i had to start doing the head thing lol

[Jos129]

That's nice, I plan on building my own one day, when I get the funds lol.

[HackerDaddyDj]

worst mouse ever, had one and it broke 2 months after :S

[mariojorge97]

Update to a Intel core i7 and to a aus gtx295. I´ve updated and I have to asus gtx295 and I have 60 fps with fraps on crisys. with max settings without fraps 80 fps.

[ThuGfunk]

Why does everyone put amps on the desk? They go on the floor! =P

nice setup though

[SoundSurgeon182]

its a sub.... and yes they go on the floor, it actually makes the sound better

[skyriderdk]

NIce looking pc....

i just got my HP Elite Edition duo-Quad Core 3.0GHZ 8GB Mem Ram,500gb HD,

Video Card ATI HD 4800,Sound Card Realtek HD ,

I love the your iluminated Keyboard,i nmeed that!...keep it up!

[WhatCrowbar]

im getting the crafted Lexa S with a some other new parts this week :)

Amd phenom II x2 3ghz

crucial ballistix 2gb 1800mhz DDR3

ASUS M4A77TD PRO motherboard

and a new Radeon HD 4870 1gb GDDR5

ill upload a video when i get it ;)

[Rokokiok]

How much did all of this cost in total?

[PepsiPope]

How do you earn money for this?

[XirOa]

shudve gone for the i7 man or at least quads

[MagicParadise85]

I'm still waiting for Christmas or before to do a massive upgrade for my gaming rig:

I7 920 D0 + Asus P6T or Gigabyte x58 + 6gb DDr3 1800 mhz or higher!

[tippete123]

I have that new mouse 2.4 ghz

[ghogie91]

same speakers and sidewinder  :P lol!

[drewm201]

cool locking pc very nice black and blue

[wwwwwwoah3]

O.O i am so *J*

[HxCkid1993]

have same pc :)

[SainkZ]

i have the same mouse

^^

Microsoft SideWinder x5 ;D

[projectsj]

You should of bought an i7.. Should've gone to Specsavers...

[ivswan]

i7= intel putting a processor out that wasnt tested enough i had to send 3 back befor i gave up and went amd

[projectsj]

ivswan = n00b

You went amd over intel? Hahahahahahaha!

I owned an i7 since its release and its owned anything I've thrown at it.

No amd cpu comes close to an i7.

[Qubei7]

ure so right !!! i love my i7

[projectsj]

I am impressed with mine also.

Like I said, only a brainless cunt would buy any amd cpu over an i7.

Theres hundreds of group tests/benchmarks tht have been done (google it) and everytime the i7 leaves amd in the dust.

[Qubei7]

yes !!! i7 and i5 are the best at the moment !

[Zickino167]

lol get a Case: Antec 1200 MOBO: EVGA 780i SLI FTW CPU: C2D E8500 3.16Ghz Cooler: Zalman 9700 RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR2 Graphics: Two EVGA 9800GTX's in SLI PSU: Modded Xion 1000Watt (replaced fan to match antec blue) Drives: LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/CDROM OS: Vista Ultimate Monitor: 22" Acer X223W Adds: Blue LEDs throughout case. Cold Cathodes. Cable Management. Added extra 120mm fans

[FeliciaGal]

Oh my! Thats a very nice blue glowie look on that pc.

[opasderXXX]

how much your desktop cost?

[MagicParadise85]

About 1500-1600 Euro for the whole desktop

[MagicParadise85]

...But with April 2009 prices...now all my hardware components cost much less then before

[sieske008]

you need to put you subwoofer on the ground, only a tip for better sound

[MagicParadise85]

I know, and i will do it soon.

[xxrogi69]

*azz lo devo fare anche io da poco mi sono comprato un impianto surround della logitech x-530 è ho il subwoofer sopra la scrivania

[JEUXolim]

thats exactly the same monitor screen as mine....but i use mine for my xbox360 =) lol. btw; thats not a good idea using it for a PC screen becasue i'm sure your PC is capable of producing a '1920x1050' resolution AT LEAST. And that monitor is only 1360x768 so why???????

[MagicParadise85]

Man, wtf are you saying?!? This monitor has a FULL HD 1920 x 1080p resolution!! OMG!

[JEUXolim]

oh ok lol sorry dude....mine only produces 1360x768

[DaBurningLegion]

mm , the speakers are around the screen

shouldn't the magnet fuck its quality?

or does that just happen with CRT? :D

[MagicParadise85]

Hi m8. This video is old! I fixed satellites like a real 5.1 with central speaker upon the monitor and surround speakers on the wall behind me.

About the magnet i think it could give problems, but before i fixed spakers i had not problems

[MagicParadise85]

However now all speakers are magnetically shielded so they shouldn't give problems

[DaBurningLegion]

heh , thanks

mine says that on the box

when i put them around the monitor

it fucked up bad lol

the screen was so dark oO

and you know that problem sometimes with old crts when you turn the monitor and it starts getting pink on the side? until you degauss

that happened on both sides lol

[MagicParadise85]

Lol sure m8...i have a comfortable leather chair :)

[dig1talground]

dude have advice, those wires under your table, you should do a little cable managament there, just buy a black electrical tape, so It'll look Clean and SICK! Nice Set-UP, U GOT 5

[MagicParadise85]

I made it some days after i uploaded this video! Now all is really more clean ;)

[Coolbri1191]

nice pc, imo you should swap the pc and the subwoofer, it would look better that way :D (and sound better too!)

[MagicParadise85]

I know, but unfortunately there's no space on the desk to put the pc on it...then i think it looks good also in this way ;)

[mangasindre]

lool got the same chase and keyboard xD

[darkown777]

wath mouse do you use?

[MagicParadise85]

Microsoft Sidewinder Bulk

[TZOTZEKIT]

nothing man ;-) have msn ?

[TZOTZEKIT]

Yes i can see that ;-) by the way perfect PC man

[MagicParadise85]

Ty :)

[TZOTZEKIT]

look pc is perfect everybody know that but can u play games with leds?i mean leds ail your eyes and you can't play

sorry about my english

[MagicParadise85]

Absolutely not, man. I haven't problems with my eyes. Gaming on my pc is only a great pleasure! ;)

[lhammonds]

Looks nice.

TIP: Ditch the zip ties and use black velcro cut-to-length one-wraps.

[mxt4life]

How did u get a fan to the bottom of the case? did u drill holes or was it precut?

[MagicParadise85]

There still was the predisposition, i only had to buy a fan.

[peterfaj]

How are the cpu temperatures at max and min?

[MagicParadise85]

Cpu @ 4 ghz 1.20 vcore----> 40/45 °C idle, 65/68 °C during stress test with Orthos, 75°C during Intel Burn Test....Summer is not optimal period for overclocking

[peterfaj]

what about with min rpm? I'd like to know, because with max rpm it's a bit too loud for me. Thanks.

[MagicParadise85]

about +3 °C with fan at min speed

[peterfaj]

Aha, thanks. I'm looking for a CPU fan that's quiet. The stock one is quiet when lower the speed, but it automatically increases the speed once the CPU gets hot. I hope that's not the case with this one.

[MagicParadise85]

No no, as you can see in the video this cpu cooler is very quiet till 2000 rpm! Over this threshold a bigger noise it's normal

[mayelladam6161]

fucking nice m8

[petegrimsby]

good taste in musiic! good taste in mods!! love it mate !

[MagicParadise85]

youre gettin blind from that fucking led mousepad

[copperhead88]

why is your computer not on the table? it will look better if its on the table u see it better...

[MagicParadise85]

I preferred to put it on the floor and put subwoofer on the table ;)

[jackassunit22]

subwoofers are emant to go on the floor.. but very nice computer, i am going to build my own soon :) can you recomend some good sites?

[MagicParadise85]

Yes, but are italian informatics sites.....

[jackassunit22]

oh, right haha i foundsome good ones anyways :P my pc wont be as good as yours D: but im definatly excited about building one

[MagicParadise85]

I understand you, mate :)

Don't forget to inform me when your build is completed!

[jackassunit22]

haha, will do

[3lack0blivion]

What's going on dude. Kick ass rig. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

[MagicParadise85]

Ty m8. The PC did cost me about 1100 euro, peripherals (monitor, speakers, mouse etc) about 530....the rig was build in April 2009 with european prices. Now Hardware's prices are much lower :(

[FriendlySpec]

I forgot to say that i'm gonna overclock my e8600 About 3,9 GHz or 4 GHz ;))

And another question :$

U have 5 fans..!!right??:D

how many fans pull out the heat and how many fans put cool air in your system??

example:the front the side and the fan wich u have down they put air in your system and the back and the up fan pull out the heat air??

Plz answer bro ty..!!;))))

[FriendlySpec]

Ty a lot Bro For Answer me.!!:))

I bought a NZXT APOLLO AND A NZXT LEXA..!!

But i dont know who is better for cooling in my system...!!from your opinion wich is better apollo or lexa cuz im little confused with the cooling of those two cases.!!

My system will be:

Asus p5q deluxe

corsair dominator with airflow fan(DDR2)

ATI 4870 Radeon 2gig.

NZXT APOLLO OR LEXA I DONT KNOW YET :S

E8600 3,33(WITH Zalman 9700)

THERMALTAKE 850 watts.For you wich is better for cooling the LEXA OR THE APOLLO??

[MagicParadise85]

the cooling system of lexa and apollo is the same...but lexa has 4 fans installed, apollo only 3 as i remember (but you could install one)... btw mate for me lexa is much more beautiful!

Overall air's recirculation in nzxt lexa is good enough. Original fans:

1x 120mm air in (front)

1x 120mm air out (rear)

1x 120mm air in (on the side)

1x 80mm air out (on the top)

Dont' worry bro, air flow in the case is good

[FriendlySpec]

And Something Else that i forgot to ask..!:S

Your Motherboard your Rams and your graphic card are they ''Heat'' in your system or not??

I mean all these have a good temperature on your system or not?;)

i will wait and for this commenct answer :P..!!

Ty A Lot If you Answer Me.!:)))

[MagicParadise85]

-Mobo's Temperature is among 49-57 °C in this hot summer period. That's OK

-VGA reaches 75 °C max during games and this is really good, thanks to the Sapphire VAPOR-X cooling system. OK

-I Overclocked my Cpu and RAM. Now i'm running E8500 @ 4018 Mhz and Ram's @ 1280 Mhz (downgrade from 1333 Mhz) but i set aggressive timings @ 7-7-7-19 from 9-9-9-24......temperatures are (in this summer period) 42°C Idle and 65°C in full load during Orthos

That's all bro!

[FriendlySpec]

Hey man:)nCc Vid and nC specs:)..!!Can u tell me the fans 80mm coolermasters the code of them? example:Coolermaster 320495 80mm Fan..!!i will wait respond :D..!!and another question:P who is better case from these i will tell you right now.!!:D NZXT APOLLO NZXT LEXA NZXT TEMPEST ANTEC 900 ANTEC 1200 Coolermaster nvidia edition Coolermaster cosmos red/black S window from your opinion who is the best of these cases?;D ty a lot and dont forget tell tha 80mm coolermaster fans code;)

[MagicParadise85]

Hey! what a strange question m8 (about the fans) ;)

Therefore, on the fan there 2 codes...1) A8025-18CB-5BN-L1; 2) PL80S12L-4

For me NZXT Lexa is far the most beautiful, Antec 1200 and Cosmos are the most functional, they are perfect for cable management and for high-end PCs!

[terorvlad]

i give 800 $ for : monitor :Samsung 120$

in MY country this ar the best prices !

[Shelshock5]

Around how much in USD?

[MagicParadise85]

About 2248 u.s dollars....

[Shelshock5]

how much did this cost?

[MagicParadise85]

All the desktop (Pc+peripheral+upgrades) did cost me about 1600 Euro here in Italy....

[mikecute7]

that blinking light is a little bit annoying... but of course that is only my opinion... cool pc dude... i would love to build one... but i would have to go on a budget friendly build...

[trueancient]

whats the blue line on the front?
