**The Ultimate AMD Gaming PC: A Double Threat**

Today we are going to build the ultimate AMD gaming PC. So get your popcorn ready, this is going to be a big one.

This video is not sponsored by AMD. However, AMD, CORSAIR, and Gigabyte were very kind in providing us all the components to build what is quite literally the ultimate AMD gaming PC.

**A Double Threat: Two PCs in One Case**

'Cause it's not one PC, it's two PC's in one case. Powering the main PC is AMD's Threadripper 3970X with a whopping 32 Ryzen cores onboard.

If that wasn't enough, we also have a 16 core Ryzen 9 3950X for the second PC. And because we are trying to build the ultimate AMD gaming PC, each system is going to get its own Radeon 5700 XT, which is going to be water-cooled.

**The CORSAIR 1000D: A Big Boy**

And this is the CORSAIR 1000D, a big boy. So the way this case is designed, our main Threadripper Big Dipper system is going to go right here, and our ITX system is going to sit right here.

So essentially, what we'll do is we'll have our GPU right here and then we'll have a second GPU right here. So that we'll actually have that sort of RGB water block.

**Configuring the Custom Cooling Loop**

Thankfully, CORSAIR have a configurator tool which should theoretically make my life a lot easier. So this is the CORSAIR Custom Cooling Configurator.

Let's design our loop. Oh, wow, look at that. So it immediately built us the set-up. The problem is, is it doesn't have our second motherboard.

(laughs)Welcome back to day two,where things are progressing nicely.So we have the first of our5700 XT water blocks installed.We also have our X570 boardgetting a little bit closer.We're going to have oneloop for Little Dipper.So it'll basically go through here,it'll go through the graphics card,through the CPU, and then up,and it'll be taking advantageof one of the front480 millimeter radiators.And then for Big Dipper, whichis our Threadripper system,we'll be using the otherpump and reservoir,and that will be running againthrough GPU, through CPU.And then that will run actuallythrough the 360-millimeterradiator and the 480.So we're giving the maximumamount of cooling to Big Dippersince obviously, that is themore power-hungry system.So we do have all of ourwater blocks installed.And in fact, you canactually see on our TRX boardthings are actually looking pretty good.But the main things thatare really holding us backis that we're missing all of the hardwarethat came with the caseand our ITX board doesn'tactually quite fit.So I think we're going to dois we're going to come backand try to remove as muchas this plastic as possible,just so we have a littlebit of extra clearanceto slide it in.The good thing is that's notreally going to be noticeable.So even if we have to doit in a slightly hacky way,the system should still be completely finebecause we're gonna haveall of the tubing coming outas well as our GPU to cover upany questionable decisions we make.Welcome back, my friends,to day three of the ultimate build.So at this point,we've made some prettydecent progress today.So I've spent most of theafternoon working on this,which is our massivedual 480-millimeterradiator for the system.So I think it just lines up like here?I'm just gonna do it by feel.Okay, so, roughly that's what ourdual 480-millimeterradiators are gonna look likewith the fans all lined up.Meanwhile, we've made alittle bit of progresswith the rest of the build.So everything is mostlyin position right now.So we have our Big Dipper motherboard.We have our 5700 XT connected here.We have two of our Elgato4K60 capture cards.- So, I'm actually going touse the pump on the left,the pump and reservoir on the left,to run it to Little Dipper down here.So, theory, we should have a nice, clean,arching run like this.For Big Dipper, a almost parallel rungoing into the 5700 XT up top as well.So it is day, something,something, something,of this PC build.(Austin laughing)We've waited for some parts to come.It's been probably two weekssince we've touched this thing.And now I think we have everything into get our water cooling done.- Do you have an ideaof where you're gonna use the45 and 90-degree adapters?- I've already placeda lot of them in here.- Oh, okay, they'realready here. Okay, I see.- Yeah, if you rememberwhat we did last time?- Dude, that was like threemonths ago, I don't remember.Okay, so, after further review,we've determined that we are idiotsand we've forgottenone very key component,which is the fact thatwhen it comes to mounting our top radiatorit is the wrong size.- I don't wanna do any other fittingsuntil we have everything in here properly.- So my friend Ken is trying to sayis that we'll be right backafter this word from our sponsor,YouTube AdSense.- So it is a new day,and with that, maybe some more progress.Hopefully.- Maybe?It will be more progress.- Maybe.- So we wentfrom a single 360 millradiator to push-pull 480.Which means that this isgonna be even more ridiculousonce we get it up here andget the entire set up ready.Dude, this thing is gonna be a monster.- And again, thank you to CORSAIR and AMDfor getting this all situated.I know this wasn't an easything to assemble in termsof parts list and whatnot.- Well, yeah,'cause every time we makesome progress on the buildwe're like, "Hey, by theway, what about this thing?"They're like, "Yes, of course,"and they send us another package.And then we ask for more thingsand they send another package. (laughs)- Because we're gonna be doingpush and pull on the toprad, our biggest problemwith putting the secondpump above the first oneis not only clearance for the tubes,but clearance for the pump as a whole.You gotta imagine that the top radis gonna be essentiallypretty much up to here.So what we're gonna dois we're just gonna putthe second pump here.This might be the first dayI have regretted working for Austin Evans.- This is the first day?Out of everything, this is the first?- I will speak the truth,today is the first day.As you can see, LittleDipper is all plugged in.We have it going from our pumpto our block on the GPUto our block on the CPU.It is running out theback, as you saw earlier,into our back radiator over here,and then the radiator spits it outback into the pump and the reservoir.And then I think now, well,what I'm gonna do now and next,is I'm gonna run the test run.- For Big Dipper.- For Big Dipper, exactly.- I have spent almost all day with this.It is a monstrosity.So I'm starting to label my cablesbased on whether it's Big Dipperor whether it's Little Dipper.But essentially, we have allthe fan headers, all the RGB.Something just fell,probably not important.All the RGB. We have temperature sensors.All of it needs to be runthrough these Commander PROswhich are very tightly wrapped right now'cause I need to re-cable them.And we also have all theseRGB hubs which then go in.So basically, each fan hasa fan header and RGB hub.Then all our water blocks also have RGB.That's actually all,but there's a lot of fansand a lot of hubs here.It has been many arduous days of building.However, we have finallyhit a very key milestonein the ultimate AMD project.Why is that on?- It's the LG Velvet.- Are you watching anotherone of your virtual YouTubers?Anyway, now that we'vemade a very key milestonein the ultimate AMD gaming PC build,we are ready to fillour loop with coolant.So we have pressure testedthe first Little Dipper.Wait, no we pressure tested Big Dipper.And now, we've been pressure-testingLittle Dipper for a while,and the pressure hasnot changed whatsoever.So does that meanthat we're immediatelygoing to have a leakand it's going to sprayall over the computer?Probably, but at least it can hold air.So it holds air, it'sgotta hold liquid, right?Wait, are we really?Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on.We're gonna fill thiswhole loop up squirting itone little bit at a time?- Oh, that scared me.Oh, that's really scared me.- Ooh!- But we're good. Look at that.- That actually looks really rad.Ha! Get it?Radiator joke?It looks rad.So at this point, we've alreadypressure tested both loops.They held up, no problem.And theoretically, LittleDipper should be easierbecause it's actually less of a loopsince it's only going throughone of our front radiators.Now, the only thing makesme a little nervous...I'm just gonna bring the light with me.Just bear with me for a second.Look, this is intimidating.This is not the mark ofan expert PC builder.However, all of these are goingto be unplugged and reroutedshortly, once I canactually get into Windowsand figure out whichhubs are on which portsand that's gonna be a lot.You know, we've beenshooting this video so longthat you now have a ponytail.- I do have a ponytail.- Do you realize that's how longwe've been shooting this video?- To be fair, to be fair.This is lazy Ken when he hadto run out of the house today.- I'm glad you're muchbetter at pouring than I am.- Look, I'm gonna get a little-- Okay, Okay.Calm down, calm down.Okay, you know what? That's fine.That's fine. That's enough.Yeah!- Keep going.- Woo!- It's going.- Yeah! Is that enough?Oh, almost. Almost.- Oh, let's go.Oh.- Wait, do I have to kill it?- No, no.- Oh, it's just enough!It's just enough!- Oh, we got it,we got it, we got it.Let's keep going, let's keep going.- Dude, this looks so good!That should be pretty good for now.It's gonna take a little bitfor those bubbles to work out.- I just wanna geteverything out of this bottle.- It has been a long arduous road,but we are finally readywith the ultimate AMD gaming PC build.And by finally ready I mean,well, it's up and running.We got a little bit of clean up to do.But we have 32 cores of Threadripper,two 5700 XTs, a 16 core Ryzen processor,64 gigs of RAM, plus 32 gigs.A double custom water loop.Which, okay, look, yes, alittle bit messy right now.We're gonna clean that up.But we finally have everything running.There's so much lighting.Honestly, what we've had the most troubleis just sorting out all of the softwareand the wiring and everythingto get it all to show up.So if we come over toour 4K capture utility,this is actually thefeed from Little Dipper.So in fact, I can actuallymove the mouse over,if I can find it, and what you'll seeis that essentially we canget the exact same feedfrom Little Dipper into Big Dipper.So you can see right now, I am inside.There may be a touch of latency.But now I could be streaming, recording,whatever the case is, off of our 4K60.So basically, we're going Little Dipperinto 4K60 into Big Dipper.I'm incredibly excited.I am very, very happy tobe done with this build.It has been literal monthsto get this to this point.But for now, all we really needto do is tidy up the cables,which to be fair is gonnabe a little bit of a job,and move everything overand get it all set up.But beyond that,we have finally completed theultimate AMD gaming PC build.So thank you very much for watching.Make sure to subscribe to the channelto see the conclusion to this finale.Did I just say theconclusion to the finale?The conclusion to the trilogy of buildingthe ultimate next-gen set-up.You won't wanna miss the last episode.I'm really excited to seewhen it all actually comes together.
