**Building a Gaming PC: A Journey**

I've been working on building a gaming PC for quite some time now, and I'm excited to share the process with you. Over there, yeah... then we can start bending some tubes when I need to put the reservoir Tom Perez combo in here as well.

Here we go! It's almost done actually. You can see the reservoir on the Tom Perez combo has been mounted; it's actually been zip tied to the case. There but again, those texts are filled if I didn't zip-tie something to something else. Got the graphics card in my trusty GTX 1080, but I've run into a really irritating problem.

Look at that graphics card and as you can see, it's a fat boy! It's a real fat GPU by fat, I mean horizontally vertically... whatever direction and this is something that I didn't ever think was going to be a problem with this case. Here I am singing praises about everything fits in it but the glass panel won't close.

Look at how close that is - so irritating now! I didn't want to replace the GTX 1080 because I really liked that GPU, but like I'm kind of gonna have to because it doesn't fit in the case. So I'm gonna have to get a different GPU that's smaller unbelievable!

The thermal pad is actually kind of come off on the GPU and it's actually quite difficult to get off... like I usually just use paper towel to like clean thermal paste off but I couldn't really get it off. So I don't have like isopropyl alcohol in my house, I just thought what's the next best thing? So I decided to try and use grappa - just a little bit of grime... and obviously, it didn't work! Like there isn't enough alcohol in the grappa quickly in the GPU properly.

Now I am so glad that this PC is done; it looks really awesome. I like the way that it turned out although I am having some thermal issues with it. So with the AMD R9 730/700 X under stress tests, it has a package temperature of about a hundred degrees Celsius... which is really not good especially considering how much radiator space there is in this loop.

And with the AMD RX 5700 XT you get a junction temperature of about 90 degrees under stress tests - that's not good; that's not a temperature set that you want with either of those components. Long story short, I damaged the pump now basically because of how the loop is set up... it means that while you're filling the loop, you're actually sucking a bunch of air into the pump which is really bad for the D5 and it could actually damage them.

So in order to fix the problem, I'm gonna replace the pump and then I'm gonna change the order of the loop a little bit. So I'm gonna get a new reservoir top that has two intake ports... which is gonna mean that I can have an intake at the top and I can have a fill port at the top of the reservoir.

And that should mean that while I'm filling it, I'm not sucking a bunch of air into the pump... and then everything should be hunky-dory now. At the moment, the PC is working; while gaming you're getting temperatures of about 70 to 80 degrees on the components... which is really bad considering the kind of loop that I've have cooling the components.

But it did mean that I could do benchmarks so I'll show them to you now. Although I am gonna do a follow-up when I fixed the loop where I show you the actual overclocked benchmark results so that you can have a clear indication of kind of what kind of performance gains you get from a loop like this.

I'm actually really happy with how it turned out... it performs really well; it looks great, and I think the moment that I fix the actual temperatures and stuff like that... it's gonna be a beast for editing. So hopefully, you guys have a good insight into what the main editing rig is going to be for this for this channel.

And with that, it brings me to the end of the video. Thank you very much for watching! If you like the video do like and subscribe to the channel for more videos like this one. I do have a discord channel for the YouTube channel... so you can go check that out!

I'll have it linked in the description below, and I'll also have my Instagram and Twitter accounts down there. And yeah until the next video buh-bye!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennow today is finally the day that we have a look at my personal rig update now I feel like I've been promising this for the last three years now and it's kind of been overhyped massively but I'm not overselling it when I say this was a complete nightmare of a build pretty much everything that could go wrong did except for well I didn't douse all of the components in water while it was running so I didn't have that happen which is pretty good and it's kind of weird that it was as difficult as it was because it's not like it's my first ever hardline loop build like I've done well this should be the third one if you include that disaster that was the copper boob that I that was my first attempt at a hard line loop but we shall never speak of that event ever again so what I'm gonna do without further ado we're gonna get into the build on day 2 so this is day two I guess of my personal rig update I didn't film anything on day one because there was a lot of swearing involved at honestly it was almost a complete disaster I don't want to go into too much detail but you know they're like stock mounting brackets that come on all AMD motherboards well they just they're quite difficult to get out and one of them kind of stripped and long story short is I almost destroyed a very expensive motherboard but it's off and and we're good and then after that I just kind of like mounted some of the stuff which I'll run you through now so over here we have the kind of bills at the point that I'm at now so the motherboards in here this is an X 570 Asus crosshair motherboard which is the one that I almost destroyed it's a very expensive motherboard but it's really nice one of the main reasons that I decided to go for it was because of the rear i/o which I don't know how well you can see back here but that rear i/o it's very difficult for me to look at without becoming physically aroused I mean just look at all those connectivity options honestly is this case this Leonie case the O 11 dynamic is the easiest building experience I've ever had when it comes to liquid cooling everything just kind of fits where it needs to be it's not like with other cases where it kind of feels like you're trying to squeeze an elephant into a size zero dress everything just kind of fits I did a purse a bit of personalization I actually removed the the clock that says there Bauer and Leanne Lee on it you know meaning no offense to the man I really really like there Bauer but I I don't want his branding on my case I did her to the case a little bit getting it off but I'll fix that soon and yeah other than that I'm just need to mark my block on the GTX 1080 which I have over there and yeah then we can start bending some tubes when I need to put the reservoir Tom Perez combo in here as well here we go it's almost done actually you can see the reservoir on Tom Perez combo has been mounted it's actually been zip tied to the case there but again
