**System Performance and Cooling**

We can see that there's some decent airflow in the system and that nothing is getting too warm just sitting there. Bumping up the CPU load test to 64, all six scores averaged out to 68.5 degrees with the GPU actually getting cooler here. This is because the bottom intake fans are programmed to run off total system temperature and not for the GPU as they should be. When the CPU is under load, those bottom intake fans are starting to ramp up, which is not exactly ideal.

The 1080p eye is pretty happy sitting there at 73.1 degrees, see under typical gaming load. This was after I adjusted the fan profile to run it a little bit quieter and a little bit warmer as well. It was a little bit loud out of the box in the torture test with both i7-64 and Unigine Heaven 4.0 running at the same time. The system was running like a jet engine here, with the CPU sitting at 74.6 for an average of all six cores, and the GPU again is running cooler thanks to those bottom intake fans.

**Noise Level**

Let's take a look at how the entire system sounded both at idle and under gaming load. Obviously, not a quiet system; it's running at a similar noise level to Fusion One, which had a much louder blower-style card in it but that also ran about 10 degrees hotter as well. At least we are getting some improvement for the thermals.

**Gaming Benchmarks**

Now, let's get to the gaming benchmarks and that's what this system does first. Since we do have the 1080 Ti in there now, in addition to the 1080p, 1440p, and 4k benchmarks, I've also thrown in some benchmarks at 3440 x 1440 seeing as that's what I personally use and I know a lot of you guys are interested in ultra-wide gaming. So, I am interested to see if Fusion Two can power the 3440 x 1440 at 100 Hz display.

Starting off with Battlefield 1, which is what I personally play the most, and Fusion Two is really doing quite well across all resolutions at Ultra settings. Here we are pushing beyond that 100 FPS cap of the X30 for Predator in The Witcher 3. We're doing pretty well also as you would expect with a 60 FPS average at 4k getting close to 100 FPS at 3440 x 1440 and then pushing some really solid frame rates at 1440p and 1080p.

**Challenge Games**

Pub G is notorious for being very challenging to run and still looking like a potato, but here we are managing some very playable framerate. At Ultra settings - when dropping things down to High settings all same frame rates above 90. Of course, this was much more enjoyable given the negligible reduction in graphics details.

4 is pretty demanding as well, and of course being a racing game that benefits from quick reaction times, a high refresh rate is definitely beneficial. Still though, excellent at 1080p great at 1440p but at Ultra-wide and definitely at 4k I'd be dropping those settings down a couple notches.

**Benchmark Results**

GTA 5 ran nicely, but of course pretty demanding with this list of settings. 1440p seemed like the sweet spot here with an average FPS of 83 and 1% and 0.1% frame times just shy of that golden 60fps in Overwatch. The system was absolute overkill even at 4k here were pushing above 200 FPS and with vsync enabled on the AC X34 Predator, the system was almost idling as it only had to push 100 FPS.

Prey was pretty easy to run as well, and seeing these results at 4k really convinced me that the system would be perfect for a mini game system in a living room. Seeing as we are pushing around 60fps on average at Ultra settings. Lastly, in Far Cry Primal we are getting some very impressive performance again but it's what you expect from the 1080 Ti being one of the most powerful GPUs currently available.

**Conclusion**

I'm really happy with how the entire system performs. The 1080 Ti is the perfect fit for the ultrawide monitor, and the A/B 600k is a breeze to edit with as well. I still need to do a little bit of optimization for the fan curves but I'm pretty happy with it so far if you guys will see more build videos and follow-up reviews like this be sure to hit that subscribe button. If you haven't already, I've got a few builds lined up before the end of the year so thank you to you guys, you said you wanted more builds and that's what you're getting so thank you all so much for watching, I'll see you all in the next one.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enmy gaming and editing PC is finally rebuilt and today we're going to be looking at all of the parts that went into the build also some overclocking thermal testing noise levels at full load and of course some gaming benchmarks as well I've got a couple more builds planned before the end of the year as well that I'm super excited about so don't forget to hit that subscribe button if you don't want to miss out on those so without further ado let's look at all of the parts overall this build will set you back around $2,300 us and the goal for the build was to make it look as clean and tidy as possible but still have some very decent performance and calling fusion - we'll be editing all of the videos on the channel for at least the next few months and will of course be powering the x34 predator for ultra wide gaming so starting off with the choice of processor I went with the Intel 6 Core i5 8600 K which is surprisingly a decent step up from my previous 7700 K in terms of editing and encoding times I worked out that I'd be saving roughly 20 minutes on a typical video project and I have a full video on that which you can check out in the top right hand corner now in terms of overclocking this thing has hit as high as 5 point 4 gigahertz at one point 4 or 5 volts but this is an engineering sample so don't expect to reach those speeds on a retail part for a daily overclock though I've got it set to 5 gigahertz at one point to 5 volts and that lower voltage means that we are able to keep those temperatures under control under heavy load the CPU has been deleted as well which improved temperatures by almost 20 degrees C and I know a lot of you are probably thinking look I do a lot of multi-threaded workloads video editing and things like that so why didn't I go for something like the horizon 7 1700 which has 8 cores and 16 threads compared to these 6 cores and 6 threads with the 80 600 K and while these processes are better for synthetic benchmarks like Cinebench r15 and other programs that are optimized to scale that well with corn thread count-- the adobe media suite really isn't programs like Premiere Pro After Effects and Adobe Media encoder will have high clock speeds just as much as they love higher court and thread count we'll be testing this in about a week or so so if you do a lot of video editing make sure to hit that subscribe button if you want see that also the ad 600k does have better performance in high refresh rate gaming and so it will make the transition to high refresh rate monitors in the future a little bit easier now for the motherboard I went with Emma size news at 378 gaming Pro carbon AC board and this made a really good fit for the rest of the system being aged at 370 board we are getting a generous amount of VRMs which does help improve cpu voltage stability and is of course very important for overclocking the m2 slot is located on the back where I've got the 250 gigabyte Samsung 960 Evo installed and we are getting some very nice RGB as well which just so happens to shine through the ventilated side panel and looks very nice in my opinion we are getting built in Wi-Fi as well and I found this to be very impressive and significantly faster than my previous solution now I will be going more in depth on this motherboard in the full review coming up in a few days so if you're looking to build a mini coffee-like system then definitely keep an eye out for that okay now on to the beast powering all of those frames and of course we have to go with the GTX 10 atti I picked up the EVGA SC 2 for a few reasons first and most importantly it's a 2 slot card that actually fits inside the case and that meant that I was able to sneak to 120 millimeter fans underneath as well in terms of overclocking I was able to achieve an extra 100 megahertz on the GPU clock and 350 megahertz on the memory and that does give us a nice boost of about 6 to 8% in frame rate but it does increase the temperature a few degrees for memory I really wanted to upgrade to 32 gigabytes but as we know memory prices are just ridiculous at the moment so it's not really the best investment so we're sticking with the 16 gigabytes of Dominator platinum Ram clocked at 26 66 megahertz which does the job just fine and of course looks very clean as well now since we are stepping up the GPU and also up to a 6 core processor it was time to level up the power supply as well I was previously using the SF 450 from Corsair and this thing was an absolute delight to work with the fan barely ever spun and when it did it was still whisper quiet so when it was time to upgrade I went ahead and stepped it up to the SF 600 it's fully modular 600 watts and also rated for plus gold efficiency and today's nice and quiet just like the SF 450 did when it came to the CPU cooler it was a fairly easy choice to make after I have done a little bit of testing on a earlier video and here we're going with the Noctua d9l with 292 millimeter Redux fans and I'm very happy with the performance I'm getting out of this I've experimented with quite a few different cooling options and this has been the most pleasing to work with by far both in performance and the acoustics I'll be booting up and storing the majority of my programs on the 250 gigabyte samsung 960 Evo and the upgrade to an end up to nvme Drive was totally worth it booting up is so quick and read and write speeds are very impressive too and of course the small form factor helps immensely as well having all that storage in such a small form factor I've also got two SSD stored in the front one 240 gigabyte and one 525 gigabyte both which will be used to store games and other programs now the sleeving is obviously a big part of this build and after completing it all I can honestly say it was one of the most fun projects I've had to work on it's not the cleanest leaving out there but for a mini ITX build I am pretty happy with how the majority of it turned out especially this CPU cable which wraps around the back here and routes pretty nicely to the power supply the motherboard 24 pin is something that I will probably redo in the near future it was by far the hardest one to sleep out of all the cables since it's so complex and I honestly thought it would look a lot cleaner in the end alright now let's talk about the thermals and a lot of you guys have asked whether that tempered glass side panel makes any significant difference so let's start off with that we can see that without the side panel installed we get the coolest load temperatures as you would expect and by the way this was with Unigine Heaven 4.0 running so your typical gaming load adding the stock ventilated side panel adds a nother 4 degrees for the CPU and almost 3 degrees for the GPU and as we expected the tempered glass side panel gives us the worst cooling performance and airflow the CPU is now three degrees warmer than the stock panel and the GPU is barely warm at all so in my opinion the trade-off is totally worth it seeing as the CPU is getting only 4 degrees warmer and the GPU temps aren't really changing at all now let's look at all the different temperatures under different loads and let's start off with idle here we can see that there's some decent airflow in the system and that nothing is getting too warm just sitting there bumping it up to either 64 in our cpu load test and all six scores averaged out to 68 point five degrees with the GPU actually getting cooler here and this is because the bottom intake fans are programmed to run off total system temperature and not for the GPU as they should be so when the CPU is under load those bottom intake fans are starting to ramp up which is not exactly ideal the 1080p eye is pretty happy sitting there at seventy-three point one degrees see under your typical gaming load and this was after I adjusted the fan profile to run it a little bit quieter and a little bit warmer as well as it was a little bit loud out of the box in the torture test with both I to 64 and Unigine Heaven 4.0 running at the same time the system was running like a jet engine here

interested in ultra wide gaming so I am interested to see a fusion to can powered the 34 40 by 1440 at 100 Hertz display so starting off with battlefield 1 which is what I personally play the most and
