Building a PC Step-by-Step! (not a tutorial)

The Corsair 7000 Series GPU is a behemoth of a graphics card that left the author in awe. The card's sheer size and thickness were impressive, with quad-slot capabilities and triple eight-pin power plugs. The author was relieved to have chosen a case with a spacious interior, as even the largest cases would struggle to accommodate this monstrous card.

The author did not mince words when describing the styling of the card, calling it "nice" and admiring its aesthetic. However, they were quick to point out the numerous plastic components that seemed designed to be as large and obtrusive as possible. The fans on the card were massive, with one side fan measuring in at 115mm and the center fan spinning in reverse. The heat sink was a marvel of engineering, featuring six or eight copper heat pipes and a cleverly designed cutout for ventilation.

The author couldn't help but express their admiration for the card's performance capabilities, citing the impressive triple HDMI and triple DisplayPort connectivity. They noted that this card would have been a great addition to any system, and they were eager to see it put through its paces in a real-world setting.

In the interest of completeness, the author did briefly touch on the power delivery system, noting that the cables could be routed around the sides of the case without issue. They also took a moment to discuss the importance of removing the plastic peel from the pump block before installing it in the case, warning against doing so at any other point during the build process.

One final aside was made regarding the author's own system, which featured a Ryzen 5000 series processor and the Corsair 7000 Series GPU. The author reported that the system was quiet, even with multiple benchmarks running simultaneously (including Furmark and Cinderbench R23). They noted that this was due in large part to the Fractal fans on the radiator and the gpu itself, which were whisper-quiet.

The author couldn't help but express their excitement at building and testing this system. Despite some minor issues – such as a bit of sag in the card – they reported that temperatures were well within acceptable ranges (1550x max temperature of 68.8C). The author also noted that the system was ready to tackle anything the office's resident gamers might throw its way.

Finally, the author took a moment to address their own oversight during the build process: installing the 10Gig Ethernet card. They had forgotten to do so until after the fact, but it was a minor mistake and easily rectified.

The article concludes with the author expressing their hope that Foodbeast will enjoy using this PC as much as they enjoyed building it. With its impressive performance capabilities and quiet operation, this system is sure to serve the needs of any gamer or content creator looking for a powerful workstation.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right another day another build here we go today we're going to be building a super high-end streaming pc for food beast food beast is a leading authority and voice in all things food as the name suggests they do food news videos recipes all that jazz and they also stream they actually stream a lot to their twitch channel including their their kitchen league series which is fantastically entertaining highly suggest you guys check it out uh they reached out to me a few months ago because they were trying to step up their streaming game and so i built them a system initially uh this guy right here in the ssupd meshlicious lovely mini itx case and this has been working out for them pretty well it's got a ryzen 7 3700x rtx 2070 super 16 gigs of ram but they're trying to scale things up and they want to go with a dual system setup so while we're still going to be keeping this in their in their workflow i'm going to be building the second pc today which is going to be way more high-end uh and uh and you guys are probably gonna be jealous because it's gonna make one hell of a gaming system too although that's not what they're using it for at all i know sad gamer noises it's also worth noting that they're using an ndi setup so rather than sending video signals via hdmi for example they're actually sending it over their network using ethernet cables so you can actually transmit video signal over like cat5cat6 whatever cables which is pretty cool it streamlines the whole process but they're gonna have like eight connected cameras to this the setup when all said and done so obviously we need something that's super powerful they already have a 10 gig network they already have that infrastructure figured out but we are gonna have to include a 10 gig card in each of these systems which is impossible to do right now in in the meshlicious pc because it's mini itx that single pcie slot has already been been taken up by the graphics card so i'm actually gonna have to migrate this to a larger case i'm actually gonna be using an 011d mini like that one uh but that's gonna be for a different video i might not even shoot that i might just do that in the background behind the scenes uh this video is gonna be focused on building the other pc which is over here before we continue this video is brought to you by kyoccia kyokushi actually has a rich history in the tech industry as being the inventor of nand flash memory but they also have a full lineup of ssds for pretty much any occasion whether you're looking to drop an nvme drive into an enterprise data center or a crypto mining rig gaming piece i meant to say son of a with competitive pcie gen 3x4 speeds the bg4 and xg6 series are well suited for gaming systems while the cd6 and cm6 feature leading edge pcie gen 4 performance for milan and ice like servers to learn more about everything kiosks has to offer click on the link in the description below for the cpu we're going flagship all the way go big or go home right amd ryzen 9 5950x 16 cores 32 threads uh this is the flagship zen 3 chip right now and it's it's freaking fantastic extremely fast now ndi allows you to encode with nv encoder as well so they actually have their pick of the letter if they want to use the cpu or the gpu for for live encoding if they use the gpu which i imagine they would that's what i'm going to suggest they do then that's going to free up a ton of cpu resources for all the other tasks they're going to be running simultaneously for our motherboard we have a gigabyte x570s aorus master this is the uh an updated board this is different than the x570 non-so it's actually fairly new but we're still getting all those good features pcie gen4 we have a 14 plus 2 phase power design with a beefy heatsink on it it's also got wi-fi 6e built in and a bunch of other bells and whistles we have 64 gigs of crucial ballistics gaming memory ddr4 3200 speed i'll probably upgrade that or upgrade overclock that to 3600 just to get it on par with uh with what our 5950x expects but this is a 2 by 32 gig kit so they even have room for expansion if they wanted to scale up to 128 gigs in the future down the line if they have the need for that at some point uh very nice kit there we also have an nzxt e850 power supply fully modular 80 plus gold it is a digital power supply so you can actually monitor you know wattage you know how much it's pulling from the wall and stuff like that through the cam software kind of handy we also have a p5 plus from crucial one terabyte pcie gen4 this is an update to the the non-plus p5 um p5 regular was gen 3. now we're at gen 4 so we're getting faster speeds both on the read and write and one taylor byte should be plenty for their needs against the streaming pc i believe they already have like a server you know where they they keep all their data and stuff with lots of good redundancy with 32 threads on board our 5950x can get pretty toasty under heavy workloads so for that we're cooling it with the corsair iq h150i rgb pro xt 360 millimeter aio and our gpu bomb gigabyte aorus rtx 3080 ti extreme this is extremely uh awesome that i actually got one of these shout out to gigabyte for providing this this card is an absolute animal it's got 12 gigs of gddr x memory max covered cooling that's from gigabyte that's using a triple fan design and one of the fans i think the fan in the middle actually spins in reverse from the other two and i think that creates extra turbulence that's supposed to aid in static pressure so it covers 100 of the heatsink as you might expect we've got an aftermarket pcb upgraded power delivery all that good stuff but we'll take a closer look at this card later on and then for our case we have a lian lee lancole 2 mesh absolutely love this case did it build in it not too long ago bringing it back because i just like it that much look at that front panel you can just see through it like right through it that's that's how they should all look wide ventilation holes tons of airflow is going to be going through this thing when all said and done so those are the parts pretty all-star lineup of hardware here i'll put links in the description to all this stuff in case you're interested but let's get started okay i was actually debating on whether or not i was going to do like a montage like a build montage oh wait what am i why am i taking this off i was going to do a build montage but i just decided that i'm just going to build the system walk you guys through it we'll do a step-by-step type of thing obviously not a tutorial um or or guide even but uh i know you guys like to watch because you're a bunch of sick puppies there we go 5950x in it's almost like the build you know building a pc kind of like gives you the opportunity to warm up you know because this the early parts go in so easy you know it's just uh well the build gets progressively more and more i wouldn't say difficult involved tedious time consuming this is this is the easy part don't make me get out my ifixit kit i will do it don't forget this gotta peel peel the peel off your uh your little plastic wrap there otherwise you're just gonna be insulating all that heat that thermal pad will do nothing and we need to screw that guy down do i have an m.2 screw on hand i think this is it and voila i already got three parts installed aio is next oh wait i have to take this bracket off corsair always ships their aios with the intel bracket on by default am fo sho uh i always forget does it go this way it goes this way i actually really like the am4 mounting system for for this cooler and for a lot of coolers like it because you know a lot of these companies are using the same oem and stuff but i just love that it's only two screws two screws as opposed to four on most coolers and also the fact that it uses the the stock um mounting brackets one last thing i have to remove the ao comes with a usb 2.0 cable that uh connects the pump to the motherboard that way you can control the unit within the iq software and stuff which i don't think uh the food beast crew is probably gonna dabble with that i don't know unless one of them is really into rgb or something but we'll wire it up for him anyway i think before i put this in the case i'm gonna mount the fans to the rad but i have to figure out which way we're gonna orient this um okay i figured it out so we actually have a removable uh radiator bracket from the the land cool 2 mesh that i popped out and we're going to orient it this way so this is going to be the front of the case and we're going to actually have the radiator bracket in between the fans and the radiator and because this will be the right side of the case where our cable management side will be i'm going to actually mount these fans in such a way where the cables are facing that direction be a lot cleaner and easier for cable routing that way pretty sure the aio yeah i'm definitely sure the aio takes the longest to install out of a build especially if you've got like a 360 rad where you've got three fans four screws each it's a lot of screws a lot of screws plus the pump block however long that takes to install fortunately again it's really easy on this one but sometimes it ain't depending on who you go with geronimo here we go thank you pre-installed i o shield one of my favorite things to be to have widespread adoption in recent years is the pre-installed io shield another thing another thing that just saves you a second or two i think motherboard is the most boring installation right it's got to be the most boring because it's literally just screws at least with the radiator sometimes bending the pump block can be kind of fun although it can also be a nightmare if it's a nightmare it's not boring it just sucks motherboard install is always bored all right um i guess we can start connecting some front panel connectors here and also just do a little bit of cable routing get like our pump block cables behind the motherboard tray i'm just going to push them through there's a sata for power and we have a three three fan splitter manufacturers that make 360 millimeter radiators and don't include a three fan splitter on them are evil and i hate them so could you of course there i don't hate you got these nzxt case fans 140s whew let's do it these are from the uh the assassins creed bill that i did not too long ago these were included with the uh the valhalla h510 valhalla case but i removed them because i installed an aio that had its own fans but now these fans are getting a new purpose and this system's already looking really nice i mean i knew it would but oh wait this only does a one why didn't i check that i just assume that somewhat mid to high end cases have a 140 mount at the back this is only a 120. well do we even need a fan back there or is this one good i don't know i'm kind of i'm kind of tempted to put a 120 back there there's a lot of power going through this thing let's do it this is my box of random fans that i've collected over the years i have not opened this in ages hey look at this we have an nzxt fan it's definitely a different it's a much older case fan doesn't even look the same as the other one i don't think we're gonna find one of those because all these fans are pretty old all right this fractal fan will do just fine we got the knock to us but i don't know they're not going to match you know what you know i just found gp 14 fractal this this will match this one i'm sorry i can't i can't do it i'm too much of a i'm too much of a stickler it's going to bother me i won't be able to sleep at night knowing that there's a pc out there that someone's using that i built with mismatched fans i don't care about the ones in the front with the radiator because those aren't even it's like in a totally different area of the build but these fans are right next to each other they gotta look the same okay we're gonna start wiring some stuff up here just the little guys nothing too crazy yet until the power supply comes in but first up is usb 2.0 that usb oh gosh the table's moving a lot of earthquakes in california you don't want one to hit and then this whole table just roll off and destroy the build happens all the time okay usb 2.0 cable for the aio we could wire up uh okay so we also have also coming off of the aio pump block we have a three pin fan connector this is for our pump but we're gonna plug this into the actual cpu the main cpu fan header otherwise the system won't boot then we have sata for powering our pump but uh we have to wait for the power supply to be in for that uh we have the fan splitter which we could use right now hd audio i never plug hd audio in for any of my personal builds but i will plug it in for food beast because they might want front panel audio for whatever reason so for our radiator fan cables i'm thinking we can bunch these up in the top left corner here so i'm going to pull all of the cabling towards this corner up here i want to make sure that the the headers on the the fan splitter and the fan connectors themselves are not underneath the zip tie directly that would just bunch it up too much you just want wires only nothing but wire looks pretty good this cable was just not quite long enough to reach so i'll just tuck them up here in the rafters and don't give me no sass boy or i will cut you off now i usually recommend that people wait on their cable management until they have the power supply installed because what will happen with most builders is that they'll start cable managing things and then once they get their power supply and they're like oh wait there's more cables that need to go in a lot of the places i've already zip tied up and so they have to undo a lot of their work but i'm pretty familiar at this point with where the power supply cables are gonna need to go and which ones i can cinch down now which ones i can't so uh you know just just get that experience what can i say kind of a professional all right we are ready for the power supply already connected all the modular cables that we'll need which includes 24 pin atx eight pin of course which you already have here uh there is pcie i think our gpu has three eight pin connectors on it because it's a big boy so we've got those wired up as well as a sata cable for our aio plug this guy in get out of here usb 2. move aside step aside out of the way make sure that the fan is face down so that we're not suffocating our psu uh we do have ventilation at the bottom there's a nice pull out dust filter it's a pretty thick filter sheet thick and plug and chug we're almost done with this build this went by really quickly i hope i didn't miss anything the saddest part about that is that no one would be surprised not even me okay that's probably a better angle for excuse me you guys boy we're ready for the graphics card sweet before we continue this video is brought to you by the corsair iq 7000 series build your next masterpiece in the spacious full tower interior with uncompromised support for custom water cooling a flexible layout with a multitude of configurations lets you build your dream pc exactly how you want and four included sp 140 rgb elite fans keep your components cool while looking cool click the link in the description below to learn more about the corsair 7000 series you guys you guys you guys are going to die when you see this gpu this card this is quite frankly one of the biggest graphics cards i've ever worked with look it's like quad slot card holy toledo triple eight pin power plugs but just the sheer thickness of this thing i'm really glad i picked the case that has a spacious interior because even a case this size some cases this size would not fit this card very comfortably if at all like i like the styling and stuff the aesthetic's nice i'm sure it looks good with some rgb these fans are huge too i think these are the ones on the sides are 115 millimeter one the center is 100 that's the one that spins in reverse damn what a freaking beast look at that heat sink one two three four maybe six or six to eight copper heat pipes in there and then it's got a little cut out on the uh the pcb for ventilation what an absolute unit good god i hate the freaking stupid plastic things are trying to be insane oh wait they have a lot of wow triple hdmi and triple display port i like that i think that's a step above reference the show you know this card is so big it wouldn't have mattered if i passed the pca cables around the side here because it would just cover it but i'm going to keep them right at the bottom i think that just works all right i think we're all oh no last thing the very last thing i do with any build before i put the side panel on if it applies is to remove the plastic peel on the pump block always save that for last don't ever don't ever take this off at any other point in the build there's no point you're just gonna it's gonna get fingerprints on it's never gonna look the same and you'll be miserable you'll be depressed you'll hate yourself and you'll die alone jesus christ all right oh and by the way it's actually running it's been running furmark as well as cinderbench r23 simultaneously for the last 20 minutes now with the side panels closed we'll talk about temps in just a sec but even with those tests running the system is quiet it's very quiet i mean everything from the corsair fans on the radiator to the uh the gpu is just whisper quiet which is great in the case like this because there's so much ventilation there's a lot of sound leakage um which it could get annoying if the fans are ramping up too much but these are really quiet the fractal fans are doing a good job too what is this by the way i mean i appreciate the lcd on the gpu but what is what is this supposed to be like an egg cracking like i keep waiting for something to hatch out but nothing ever happened it's just cracking in perpetuity anyway the system looks so mean it looks it looks like it's ready for battle this card seriously is ridiculous of course there's a little bit of sag i think that's kind of expected but not nearly as much sag as i thought they would be given the heft weight and size of this thing it's just mean temperatures let's take a look here really quick um but the 1550x max of 68.8 i haven't even seen these numbers yet 68.8 that's awesome that's really good good good airflow good good radiator good aio rtx 3080 ti 70 c hot damn gigabyte's been doing work 70c on a 3080 ti run for mark and that's for mark at uh 2560 by 1440 mind you hey you know what the system's pretty badass and i think it's gonna serve food beast very well for their live streams whatever else they need it for uh it's gonna be able to handle it so oh and one thing i totally forgot to do during the build was install our 10 gig card but there it is i just popped it in after the fact it's actually pulled from my zenith to extreme it came included with that board from asus so there it is it's good to go what a beast what a beast and i hope foodbeast is gonna enjoy this pc as much as i enjoyed building it i think it's gonna handle i mean i know it's gonna handle anything they throw at it it's an absolute animal um and i hope i really hope someone at the office there gets the game on it at some point it would just be a shame not to but that's gonna do it for this one guys if you enjoyed it please toss a like before you go oh no is my microphone all okay it's fine never mind if you haven't already done so go ahead and subscribe to the channel for more tech content coming at you really soon have a good one guys i will see y'all in the next video youall right another day another build here we go today we're going to be building a super high-end streaming pc for food beast food beast is a leading authority and voice in all things food as the name suggests they do food news videos recipes all that jazz and they also stream they actually stream a lot to their

knowing that there's a pc out there that someone's using that i built with mismatched fans i don't care about the ones in the front with the radiator because those aren't even it's like in a totally different area of the build but these fans are right next to each other they gotta look the same okay we're gonna start wiring some stuff up here just the little guys nothing too crazy yet until the power supply comes in but first up is usb 2.0 that usb oh gosh the table's moving a lot of earthquakes in california you don't want one to hit and then this whole table just roll off and destroy the build happens all the time okay usb 2.0 cable for the aio we could wire up uh okay so we also have also coming off of the aio pump block we have a three pin fan connector this is for our pump but we're gonna plug this into the actual cpu the main cpu fan header otherwise the system won't boot then we have sata for powering our pump but uh we have to wait for the power supply to be in for that uh we have the fan splitter which we could use right now hd audio i never plug hd audio in for any of my personal builds but i will plug it in for food beast because they might want front panel audio for whatever reason so for our radiator fan cables i'm thinking we can bunch these up in the top left corner here so i'm going to pull all of the cabling towards this corner up here i want to make sure that the the headers on the the fan splitter and the fan connectors themselves are not underneath the zip tie directly that would just bunch it up too much you just want wires only nothing but wire looks pretty good this cable was just not quite long enough to reach so i'll just tuck them up here in the rafters and don't give me no sass boy or i will cut you off now i usually recommend that people wait on their cable management until they have the power supply installed because what will happen with most builders is that they'll start cable managing things and then once they get their power supply and they're like oh wait there's more cables that need to go in a lot of the places i've already zip tied up and so they have to undo a lot of their work but i'm pretty familiar at this point with where the power supply cables are gonna need to go and which ones i can cinch down now which ones i can't so uh you know just just get that experience what can i say kind of a professional all right we are ready for the power supply already connected all the modular cables that we'll need which includes 24 pin atx eight pin of course which you already have here uh there is pcie i think our gpu has three eight pin connectors on it because it's a big boy so we've got those wired up as well as a sata cable for our aio plug this guy in get out of here usb 2. move aside step aside out of the way make sure that the fan is face down so that we're not suffocating our psu uh we do have ventilation at the bottom there's a nice pull out dust filter it's a pretty thick filter sheet thick and plug and chug we're almost done with this build this went by really quickly i hope i didn't miss anything the saddest part about that is that no one would be surprised not even me okay that's probably a better angle for excuse me you guys boy we're ready for the graphics card sweet before we continue this video is brought to you by the corsair iq 7000 series build your next masterpiece in the spacious full tower interior with uncompromised support for custom water cooling a flexible layout with a multitude of configurations lets you build your dream pc exactly how you want and four included sp 140 rgb elite fans keep your components cool while looking cool click the link in the description below to learn more about the corsair 7000 series you guys you guys you guys are going to die when you see this gpu this card this is quite frankly one of the biggest graphics cards i've ever worked with look it's like quad slot card holy toledo triple eight pin power plugs but just the sheer thickness of this thing i'm really glad i picked the case that has a spacious interior because even a case this size some cases this size would not fit this card very comfortably if at all like i like the styling and stuff the aesthetic's nice i'm sure it looks good with some rgb these fans are huge too i think these are the ones on the sides are 115 millimeter one the center is 100 that's the one that spins in reverse damn what a freaking beast look at that heat sink one two three four maybe six or six to eight copper heat pipes in there and then it's got a little cut out on the uh the pcb for ventilation what an absolute unit good god i hate the freaking stupid plastic things are trying to be insane oh wait they have a lot of wow triple hdmi and triple display port i like that i think that's a step above reference the show you know this card is so big it wouldn't have mattered if i passed the pca cables around the side here because it would just cover it but i'm going to keep them right at the bottom i think that just works all right i think we're all oh no last thing the very last thing i do with any build before i put the side panel on if it applies is to remove the plastic peel on the pump block always save that for last don't ever don't ever take this off at any other point in the build there's no point you're just gonna it's gonna get fingerprints on it's never gonna look the same and you'll be miserable you'll be depressed you'll hate yourself and you'll die alone jesus christ all right oh and by the way it's actually running it's been running furmark as well as cinderbench r23 simultaneously for the last 20 minutes now with the side panels closed we'll talk about temps in just a sec but even with those tests running the system is quiet it's very quiet i mean everything from the corsair fans on the radiator to the uh the gpu is just whisper quiet which is great in the case like this because there's so much ventilation there's a lot of sound leakage um which it could get annoying if the fans are ramping up too much but these are really quiet the fractal fans are doing a good job too what is this by the way i mean i appreciate the lcd on the gpu but what is what is this supposed to be like an egg cracking like i keep waiting for something to hatch out but nothing ever happened it's just cracking in perpetuity anyway the system looks so mean it looks it looks like it's ready for battle this card seriously is ridiculous of course there's a little bit of sag i think that's kind of expected but not nearly as much sag as i thought they would be given the heft weight and size of this thing it's just mean temperatures let's take a look here really quick um but the 1550x max of 68.8 i haven't even seen these numbers yet 68.8 that's awesome that's really good good good airflow good good radiator good aio rtx 3080 ti 70 c hot damn gigabyte's been doing work 70c on a 3080 ti run for mark and that's for mark at uh 2560 by 1440 mind you hey you know what the system's pretty badass and i think it's gonna serve food beast very well for their live streams whatever else they need it for uh it's gonna be able to handle it so oh and one thing i totally forgot to do during the build was install our 10 gig card but there it is i just popped it in after the fact it's actually pulled from my zenith to extreme it came included with that board from asus so there it is it's good to go what a beast what a beast and i hope foodbeast is gonna enjoy this pc as much as i enjoyed building it i think it's gonna handle i mean i know it's gonna handle anything they throw at it it's an absolute animal um and i hope i really hope someone at the office there gets the game on it at some point it would just be a shame not to but that's gonna do it for this one guys if you enjoyed it please toss a like before you go oh no is my microphone all okay it's fine never mind if you haven't already done so go ahead and subscribe to the channel for more tech content coming at you really soon have a good one guys i will see y'all in the next video you\n"
