THREADRIPPER SERVER FIXING COOLING ISSUES (PART 2 SERVER SERIES) -- LGH

Here is the converted article:

Just say that but under uh Pro desktops like any of their business grades this is the type of caddy you get theirs just work better it's an easiest way to put it there's work better so I'm going to go on this side first that's been giving me the biggest trouble that's lined up and that is not there we go the cage needs to be I don't know I guess stretched because that one went in pretty easy this one was a pain let me see if I'm right by putting the next ones in and so that's four five six seven oh I only need one extra hard drive and so what I'm gonna do so this is going to be the data everything running on there I'm going to put an nvme in for just OS in any in particular program I need to have running to keep this going the way I want it to other than that it's getting heavy um that's that's exactly what these are just data literally and I hope I can trust them but again like I said it's only going to be first a bit of playing around learning everything um figuring out what I can and can't do with a threadripper and then moving on to more serious equipment for it later and I highly recommend putting your hard drives in before doing any and you can uh oh I don't know you'd have to buy three and a half inch to two and a half inch adapters for sadness I just realized that there is no screw-ins here but that's not a big deal those things are very cheap that's what it looks like now with the era so again cables are arriving I think tomorrow so we'll have a little bit more of an update video on that part and you'll probably see a different shirt of some sort or whatever because it's day by day by day I do have RAM and I'm going to explain the ram I'm going to use I'm going to use regular everyday type DDR4 not gaming Ram or anything like there's a reason one you're not going to see inside here two the airflow of this case is going to provide it doesn't need to be heat sinked um this is going to be just pure air moving monstrous craziness and that is the whole point so we have all the air coming from these two be quiet fans going through here and I did find my antec old inventory 80 mils look at this guys this is actual old old inventory they are brand new and what I do like about these from what I'm seeing I do see a pwm connector so not a hundred percent that's a real pwm might just be a connector all the same oh there's two in there interesting until I take it out I really don't know but they do light up probably gonna light them up for fun because you'll see the glow coming out on the back of my server you might see it Glow through in here I think they just light up blue or something what are they Pro Series so anyways just uh this will just be a bit of fun and I know these fans should outperform these fans I look like I have more options anyway so we'll get to that in a bit and the rear ones I don't really care right if it's pwm or this just comes down to noise you pretty much have all of our data we don't have the nvme in yet I'm debating on what size I want to put in there and people are going to be like oh I put a one terabyte or whatever this is not going to see data on that drive other than the OS and little little softwares you know like uh I don't know if I'm going to put a 512 or 256 at this point a 256 is probably more than big enough to go in as a server operations Drive um and then of course once that's done I will do a backup image to one of these drives and then if something goes wrong we put the new one in and flip it back so it's pretty pretty nice and that that's one thing that's built into Windows guys I'll show you guys that maybe when I'm doing the software stuff on this one um it's a pretty simple thing to do and you can do it on any computer foreign

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay guys so it is day two I'm working out the issues that I was having with the cooling system as you can see I am going with the EK water block I'm going to custom water cool this unit now saying that there is some issues here one issue I cannot have the radiator internal I'm going with a 360 on this so I ordered something it should be here in a couple days so this build is going to be a little longer than I expected but I think you guys are going to be really impressed going to be really impressed so it's going to be an external ride let's just put it that way that's as far as I'm going with it right now and we're going to see if I can pull this off proper and get this guy up and running so what I've done now I swapped over the uh threadripper from my other board to this board the way I wanted to have the chips done I feel that this guy is overkill from what it is and it's just enough with a 8 core 16 thread right now until I upgrade the other one and we'll talk about that stuff as we go along too when I'm finishing up and stuff and where I'm headed with the two thread Rippers um what I also wanted to point out was this is a brand new x399 board both of them are x399s which means you can only put the 1900 Series and the 2000 series thread represent them and to me right now it's a great time to buy them because they are a bit pricey I'm not gonna lie but you can catch boards sometimes at a great deal for example this board at the time I think cost me 550. now this board's like a thousand dollars I don't understand it but the chips right now A 1920 is under 200 a 1950 X which is your uh so you got your 12 core 16 or 12 core 24 thread on your 1920 and you got your 16 core uh 32 thread on your 1950 X now that is what I really wanted from when this stuff came out okay so the other system is going to have the board that I always wanted and not quite the chip I always wanted but we're going to work on that so in this system I'm putting the 1900x we're going to custom water cool which means at this point I may not be custom water cooling my editing machine I might be putting that huge ryzen cooler on it I haven't made that final decision yet and at that point do I want to talk to be quiet about the dark Rock Pro TR4 one I don't know so if I can come up with a another water block solution without breaking the bank I got this one used off eBay for about I think it was 60 bucks delivered um of course these are discontinued now because they're x399 and x399 blocks do not fit the newer uh TR so bottom line is this is now going to be custom water cooled so this is going to be a lot bigger Endeavor than I expected but I think as for you the viewers you guys are really going to enjoy it the board is bolted down now so that's all done I did that off camera mounted this off camera put some angled units on for now because I think the hoses are going to have to go this way and then I'm probably gonna have to 3D print a double bracket here for my hoses to go out so I may have to cut out a center bar on this piece right here that's not a big deal but it is something that is in the air as an option so I have all the days pulled out as you can see I can put my hand all the way through um I taken things apart a long further uh review or look over these things remember I wanted to possibly change to fans and that is coming to more and more a definite 100 percent they are not pwm fans and I personally don't like that um I don't want these fans just screaming all the time when this machine is not even going to be doing a lot of hard work it's going to be a file backup server and possibly run my uh QuickBooks accounts and stuff on here other than that that's all this thing's doing right and and I'm not even sure that's what it's going to be doing it might be doing a little bit harder working at that point well then I can read the fans up I'll have an option to change things with some nice new be quiet fans in here uh am I going to light it up I don't think so I think that's kind of ridiculous I don't even think I'm going to hook up the argb for the water cooler it just seems very redundantly done considering once I put the cover on you might see a glow through the mesh in the front or something and that's it so anyway this is an update here just to let you know how far along it is what my solution is now coming down to there is no cooler that's going to fit this case that I know of that's going to cool a threadripper properly now if I had gotten like my buddies he's got the longer version of these cases and in that case he with the bracket that was going across here he was able to mount the because it was a three fan system he was able to mount uh his Radiator in here which was an AIO and then uh whatever the air coming from here came through here and pushed right out and apparently it moves a ton of air but saying that uh we are looking at the fact that uh I don't have the room my brackets right here the radiator would be like this possibly hitting ram whatever and I'm a custom water cooling guy mostly so putting an AIO in here I could have I could have put like a 280 maybe from uh be quiet I do think I have an extra one still um that would have probably worked out if I could have the room then I thought about turning it and tipping it and no I even thought about running through here and the answer still came out as no so as I go through the steps I will uh record some more here and there just to show you updates and how this is going but this is definitely a week in progress It's I can't see it not taking that long I ordered uh some special power cables for here I ordered some special SATA cables for here so I'll show that stuff too and of course I'll always link everything down below if you're looking to build yourself a neat little server it doesn't have to be water cooled it doesn't have to be a thread Ripper honestly any first gen uh second gen third gen 5th gen ryzen is way more than enough to do what I'm doing and like I said my other one's running on a 1600x so there's no such thing as needing a thread Ripper unless you're doing some heavy stuff now one of the things that I was thinking about doing with this was actually possibly remote remotely editing and uploading from this server if that's the case like I am putting a decent video card in here so it can edit so I might be going that route but anyway guys let's just keep going I'll update you as it happens okay guys so for this I'm going with the silent Wing threes 120s these are great great fans for moving air and I actually installed one already for fun and I used to push pins and it not only looks really good but it's solid like no screws needed that is just awesome I love it so you got the option of course when you put these pieces on to be either a screw in or a push pin and for this purpose it'll be push pin on the radiator it'll be the screw version so I'll be using these exact same bands I think on the red as it's going to be very open and out there I won't need to go any better than this to push the air that I need pushed okay I have the cooling solution all done now where I have my be quiet fans all inside and mounted I'm going to put some of the hard drives in just to one get a feel a look there's a bit of excitement going on you know you just wanna see what things are starting to fall together as so basically these just fall in it's kind of like the same thing that you would deal with with a uh server or um brand name like Dell or something when they had their hard drive caddies this is the same idea you just kind of pull it out like that and slide them in the holes not always as smooth as you want it to be but they work and it's as simple as that okay so we're gonna Slide the one from the bottom in first so I know I made enough uh make sure they're in so I made enough cover for the wiring coming out for the fan why is that being a pain one end so I'm hoping that I can do something with the wiring as I go down through here with the with that so let me get a few more caddies over here I think everything I'm using is seagates um they're not new they're pulls from some of my orders that did not need physical drives they just needed uh ssds and it was perfect timing for me to build on the budget and this made the budget much better so down the road when I need bigger hard drives I will gladly do it but right now I definitely don't need it and this will do I mean in the end this is only going to be I guess eight terabytes of space but what you don't realize is how much that actually is in the world of servers for what I'm doing now the other one has more space because that one's got all the YouTube videos and everything on it and so on which I'm not 100 sure what this one is going to do yet and why is that one not going in it did with a little smack but I just want to get the bottom ones in first because the biggest problem with the bottom ones that I was thinking is that they're close here I'm going to start wiring up it's going to be a bit more of a pain and at that point you want to just pull the whole tray out and I didn't want to really take the whole tray out one um you got I misplaced my big flat screwdriver and you need a flat screwdriver to unlock the cage and two while it's like this it's clean it's easy for me to get them in and and that's my goal case is you're gonna have your quirks and just getting them to do what you want is one of them by the looks of it much easier taking off than putting on I'll tell you that so basically what you got to watch out for too are these stupid things here I guess you can't even put them on from the outside because I tried they go into this little circle and then slide forward which is pretty common like I mean the design on this is identical to what you would see on any uh dell Lenovo uh HP not server let's just say that but under uh Pro desktops like any of their business grades this is the type of caddy you get theirs just work better it's an easiest way to put it there's work better so I'm going to go on this side first that's been giving me the biggest trouble that's lined up and that is not there we go the cage needs to be I don't know I guess stretched because that one went in pretty easy this one was a pain let me see if I'm right by putting the next ones in and so that's four five six seven oh I only need one extra hard drive and so what I'm gonna do so this is going to be the data everything running on there I'm going to put an nvme in for just OS in any in particular program I need to have running to keep this going the way I want it to other than that it's getting heavy um that's that's exactly what these are just data literally and I hope I can trust them but again like I said it's only going to be first a bit of playing around learning everything um figuring out what I can and can't do with a threadripper and then moving on to more serious equipment for it later and I highly recommend putting your hard drives in before doing any and you can uh oh I don't know you'd have to buy three and a half inch to two and a half inch adapters for sadness I just realized that there is no screw-ins here but that's not a big deal those things are very cheap that's what it looks like now with the era so again cables are arriving I think tomorrow so we'll have a little bit more of an update video on that part and you'll probably see a different shirt of some sort or whatever because it's day by day by day I do have RAM and I'm going to explain the ram I'm going to use I'm going to use regular everyday type ddr4 not gaming Ram or anything like there's a reason one you're not going to see inside here two the airflow of this case is going to provide it doesn't need to be heat sinked um this is going to be just pure air moving monstrous craziness and that is the whole point so we have all the air coming from these two be quiet fans going through here and I did find my antec old inventory 80 mils look at this guys this is actual old old inventory they are brand new and what I do like about these from what I'm seeing I do see a pwm connector so not a hundred percent that's a real pwm might just be a connector all the same oh there's two in there interesting until I take it out I really don't know but they do light up probably gonna light them up for fun because you'll see the glow coming out on the back of my server you might see it Glow through in here I think they just light up blue or something what are they Pro Series whoa so anyways just uh this will just be a bit of fun and I know these fans should outperform these fans I look like I have more options anyway so we'll get to that in a bit and the rear ones I don't really care right if it's pwm or this just comes down to noise you pretty much have all of our data we don't have the nvme in yet I'm debating on what size I want to put in there and people are going to be like oh I put a one terabyte or whatever this is not going to see data on that drive other than the OS and little little softwares you know like uh I don't know if I'm going to put a 512 or 256 at this point a 256 is probably more than big enough to go in the as a server operations Drive um and then of course once that's done I will do a backup image to one of these drives and then if something goes wrong we put the new one in and flip it back so it's pretty pretty nice and that that's one thing that's built into Windows guys I'll show you guys that maybe when I'm doing the software stuff on this one um it's a pretty simple thing to do and you can do it on any computer foreignokay guys so it is day two I'm working out the issues that I was having with the cooling system as you can see I am going with the EK water block I'm going to custom water cool this unit now saying that there is some issues
