The Main Menu

As I sit here, staring at my new gaming system, I have to admit that I'm not really a big fan of the website I purchased it from. The potential was there, but something like Corsair NZXT is definitely a whole lot easier to use. However, I don't know about you, but I think it's time to actually start gaming now, so let's get started.

Our first game of choice is Ghost of Tsushima, a brand new title that comes with features such as frame generation using AI to give you an even higher frame rate. We're running at the very high preset, but we have this set to DLSS performance, and as you can see, the frame rate is really rather high on this. The game also uses dlss frame generation, which we go over to the settings and enable.

Frame Generation

The dlss frame generation feature essentially adds a tiny bit of extra latency, making the game more visually smooth. As we can clearly see, we're well under my target of around about 55 milliseconds or under. However, as soon as we turn this on, it's essentially a frame smoothing technique that makes the game even smoother.

Let's take a moment to change T and proceed into the multiplayer realm of Apex Legends. This looks like a brand new season, actually, because we seem to be in space. Maybe we were before, but anyway, this seems to be just under Max settings. We're at 4K, and as you can see, we do get a little bit of variance, but still really really high frame rate around about 170 FPS or so.

Apex Legends

If we set this to 1440p, we're getting around about 230 to 300 FPS again depending on when and where we are in the title. Now, I think it's time to properly crank this up to 11 and see what the system can do. Our game of choice is Alien: Isolation 2, which has been one of my favorites this year, probably is actually my favorite this year. However, our frame rate is currently around about 60 FPS or so.

Alien: Isolation 2

If we're playing this on a TV especially a screen really if you have decent compatibility, uh, this is going to be a really good like console level frame rate really about 60 frames a second or so. However, because we have DLSS and are currently getting this as I say on a slightly smaller screen, I would also want to go back into the settings then change our render resolution from quality which is 1440p to Performance.

Conclusion

Right off the bat, you can now see we're getting around about 73 to 75 FPS. But because Alien: Isolation 2 is a rate race title, I would also want to go into the settings and enable that feature so we're getting just under 60 FPS perfect if you have like a G6 monitor as we already mentioned uh but this if you do want to have all of the rage racing enabled and still maintain that sort of sub 50 milliseconds feel but personally speaking is what I want in game, then I think this is going to be your best bet.

Final Thoughts

As you can see, you've still got those reflections actually uh that are coming in from the diner in the window so this is a really nice balance between visual quality and performance. Sorry for the awkward insert by the way but I realized I hadn't actually tested this at 1440p so what you're seeing now is those exact same settings but now with DSS3 frame gen enabled but at 1440p DSS super resolution set to balance.

Real Talk

As you can see, your frame rate is way higher here so if you are playing this on a 1440p monitor then you can actually turn the settings up even higher than this if you want. The question actually goes out to you really because have you been experimenting with this what's your sort of sweet spot for settings for latency I would love to hear it really and I'd also love to hear your thoughts on this system as a whole do you like the fact uh that we have gone for something a bit different, something a bit more solid rgbl less or are you team RGB if you do want to check out current pricing you can find everything linked down below but smash the like button if you enjoyed this get yourself subscribed.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enladies and gentlemen today we're doing something ridiculously exciting we are actually breaking a lot of the rules I know I'm a bit of a rude boy because oh that was the least cool thing I've ever said because today all seriousness we're going to be creating an epic gaming PC build with some of the highest end components you can get and actually go for something well I was going to say blackout but we're going for white and blackout today so make of that what you will we'll show you the full build process so you can follow along at home if you want and then of course show you those all important gameplay Benchmark numbers so you can see how all of this works in its full Glory all that's left to say is an absolute massive thank you to pallet and Nvidia for sponsoring this video let's get our build on of course the first thing that you're probably going to use to actually build your PC will be the motherboard the CPU the case and getting all of that stuff in your rig but obviously when you actually start designing your gaming PC build the first component I'd always recommend choosing is going to be the graphics card and as I say this one is actually brand new from pallet they literally sent this out and it arrived earlier today and as you can clearly see this one is called the game Rock except it's not cuz if you look closely this is the game Rock Omni black but essentially this takes the RGB bling that you'll find associated with the usual game Rock card so fun fact we actually use a 4090 game Rock to render most of these videos sadly not this one doing it myself sorry about the editing guys editor car wanted to take paid holiday but interestingly with this one it goes with the same sort of aesthetic but without any of the RGB and I don't know about you but there are very few graphics cards that do look anything like this and if I'm honest I find that a lot of gpus these days can kind of like merge together a little bit it definitely takes something to stand out from the crowd and I think you agree this is definitely the card to do it but you'll find that when we turn this on it doesn't have that same crazy RGB that you find on the front which some people are going to love others will prefer the lighting that's why obviously they sell both and I know you guys have probably been staring at it already so let me introduce the y70 properly but essentially the y70 I'm not sure if it was ever actually meant to be a thing they made the y70 touch that we did a full build in a few months ago actually for my friend Rob uh it was an awesome PCC build and I actually walk him through how to do it he was here in the studio you can find that video in the top right corner of your screen if you want to actually see what a first time PC build was cuz they had done one before and it's a little bit different you've got this edge here this was a 4K touchscreen on the original version but they now got the y70 and then the y70 touch uh V2 but this is one of the easiest chassis I think you can actually get uh to build inside other than the fact that this panel is a little bit stiff just because it's dual chamber so you don't have to worry so much about Cable Management you can kind of just stick everything here power supply goes there hubs and things so just pretty much Place everything inside here and then you've got room for radiators at the side at the top and you can actually put fans here in the bottom as well which especially if you're going to be using the vertical GPU Mount which you almost certainly are it's quite good to have extra ventilation and air flow but okay enough fluff let's actually start our PC build for real this time and here we have the motherboard that we're going for I thought this would work perfectly actually with what we're trying to do it does have a little bit RGB but we can turn it off but essentially this is an AMD B 650a motherboard uh but it actually comes in this white and black configuration so I think it's going to sort of tie everything in together nicely it works really well you've got decent cooling on the vrms plenty of m.2 slots more than most people should need you do have Wi-Fi as well which as we know like pretty much over 50% of people actually use which might surprise you but is true at least in the survey we did and you can also use the bias flashback utility if you want to go for this a little bit later if you're watching this in like a few months time you want to go for ryzen 9000 then you can do that just make sure you grab the USB flash drive and follow the instructions with Bast flashback and then we can proceed to actually install our first component and this is the CPU this is the 7800 x3d and this is a very interesting chip actually because it's pretty much the best all round gaming CPU I mean if you go for an i you have more cores which could be better for productivity and in certain titles Intel does slightly come out on top but for the most part it's pretty much widely regarded that this is the best all round option is an8 cord chip the rumors have it that this is still going to be slightly faster at least about the same uh as the new chips that are coming out which is a little bit confusing but that's because there isn't going to be an x3d version for at least a few months probably into 2025 which for some is going to be potentially a bit disappointing and essentially you've almost got to play a game of whack really when it comes to the botton X in your system because if you are CPU botton X then your frame rate will come down because of this whereas if you're GPU botton X which again you are going to be in most scenarios really then You' need to upgrade your graphics card to get higher frame rate but essentially the higher the resolution the higher the chance it is going to be your GPU and the more settings you turn up then again more likely uh the more it's going to tax your GPU rather than the CPU but it's quite interesting really because graphics cards have come on such a long way that you really do need to get a good CPU as well otherwise you can run into issues so all I've done here is just grab the Chip And just line this up with the slot the ryzen text facing downwards if you are going for an older generation ryzen chip though it actually would usually face that way we then grab this little lever and just slot this into position with a fair bit more Force than you'd expect it's probably the most Force you use in any PC build and then this will be nice and safe and secure once you're done that you can of course then move on to the memory or the random access memory RAM in case you didn't know that and you do want make sure that your opening slots 2 and Slots 4 if you put them directly next to each other they run in what we call single operation or single Channel mode which means you actually get half the speed the one we've got here is 32 GB running at a speed of 6,000 MHz it's AMD Expo which means we can overclock it in the BIOS with that Expo profile and it should work fingers crossed this is some tforce Delta RGB there's of course ddr5 this new am5 AMD platform does only support ddr5 so make sure you are buying the right kit or sadly it won't work you can't carry ddr4 over from your previous build and then just plop this down into position until you get a nice click it's always satisfying you then ready to move on to screwdriver time no not the cocktail it is instead way more exciting it's time to install an SSD and interestingly enough lexar's NM 790 is probably the best all around SSD you can get in terms of like really high in performance but not paying through the nose again it will depend on the exact time of filming if you want to check out current pricing on anything featured in this video as always it is linked down below just remove this top slot this heat sink here is where your SSD is going to live this will help it keep its cool and you do have a little bit of plastic film to remove if you haven't done so already but I've used this board before then you just grab your SSD and you just with no Force really at all line this up with a slot till you get a little bit of a click and then on this motherboard you can actually secure it into place with this little nub in here and then you just replace that heat sink and then screw that back down and at this stage we are actually pretty much done but I do want to say that if you want to save a whole bunch of money we haven't tested it so whether the TDP is going to be perfect I'm not entirely convinced but if you were perhaps going for a cheaper CPU and you wanted to complete the allwhite look this is the Frieza 34 in white and I think this would perfectly match the theme that we're going for and it certainly would save you a whole bunch of money compared to the other cooler that we're going for which is pretty much what I would describe as the nuclear option but this is a cooler that is obviously very thick it's perfectly paired uh really for this case but it also has a display on the pump head itself if you haven't seen this before I think you'd be a little bit surprised cuz it definitely does do a few things differently I mean essentially this is a 280 but it's an extra wide radiator but a lot of cases especially if you're going to be mounting at the top are designed for just a standard radiator uh so this is going to have to be in a like bit more of a larger or at least more specialist case to be able to fit I realized by the way that I haven't actually explained why we're getting the call now it's because I would always advise doing your mounting or at least getting your screws and things ready before you put this inside the case what you usually have to do is remove these four screws and take these plastic bcks out and then replace them with some third party mounting so let's take these out now making sure not to lose them or drop your screwdriver and break everything then you can grab the AMD nut screw retention things and just put these in the exact same holes that you've just removed oh Jesus Christ okay what that was that was me dropping the really heavy cooler uh with a really expensive screen off of that computer case and onto the floor so it probably works but if I have damaged it I am sorry but taking the opportunity to move on very quickly now obviously we can start to get things inside the case which is exciting but before we do that we will need to actually just unscrew this PC Riser cable because this will have to go into the motherboard and obviously it's currently blocking us and then you can proceed to grab your PC case pick up your motherboard and you want to put it in this hole here and all of these standoffs are actually pre-done on this case so unless you're using Micro ATX you don't need to fill about with anything just literally grab your board and then as carefully as possible get it to fit in that hole at the back and if you are wondering by the way where the screws are in this particular chassi the storage Bays just pull out the back and then you have everything inside this little box once that is in position I do actually need to move one of these P brackets across because our graphics card as you can see goes here which lines up with this one then you just push this down into position till it clicks and then get that screwed down into your chassis before we put anything else inside here the next thing I like to do just to make it as quick and seamless as possible really is to grab our I/O cable so here we have a USB 3 USBC front panel for things like the power switch to actually do something and then you've also got HD audio not a lot of people actually need this typically using USB headsets and things like that uh but regardless you need to plug all of these in to get all of the ports in your case to work USBC which sadly isn't reversible is this little silver one below that you have your USBC move all the way down to the bottom right hand corner and here you have your front panel connection and it's on the left of this block and you just push it in and Tuck the cable down there and then all the way at the bottom left hand corner you have your HD audio which is a little bit covered but it does go in very easily once you've done that the next step is going to be to install the fans and we've turned this upside down cuz obviously I'm going to put some fans down the bottom or I say fans I'm just actually going to put the one I've only got three additional for this build but obviously if you wanted it to look as good as possible you would populate all of them I'm going to go for some solid white fans and these have been out for a while but for case fans these are still excellent Shadow wings too from be quiet you can pop this on top of your fan or fans and then with this particular be quiet fan it actually comes these little pegs that I can just push in like that then that dust filter can pop back into position and then screw it into place we just need to find a fan header for this now and actually there is one next to the front panel look so I can just plug this in there and then tuck this cable back underneath I do have two more though so let's put these at the top work slightly differently yet also very similarly we do have this top platet that will remove then this should lift up fans go underneath and obviously make sure you are orientating them in the correct direction fans blow one way and here we're going from bottom all the way out to the Top If you can see the nice bit of the label then it's blowing away from you whereas if you can see this label which is the bad side of the label it's blowing toward of course we'll also need to plug in our fan cables too and here I'm just using CPU optional and then this one for an all-in-one right okay that's the fans in now we need the big stuff the thick cooler and of course the GPU and then the power supply I'm going to do the cooler first cuz this has the potential to damage the most amount of things it's so much weight if we can tubes will be downwards though and loads of people always ask about this air rises right when it's in liquid so you just want the tubes to be at the bottom where possible because then the air bubble are going to be at the top rather than at the top where your tubes are and then it will get into the loop that's the idea anyway let's take the opportunity to plug this in cuz it'll be a lot easier now and it's fairly easy to do this locks in there like that then of course it's just a case of actually fitting this into position you can then grab these retention arms for the pump head itself does say AMD on it then we can just drop this on top of those screws remember that we haven't actually taken the spring screws out of the box and then professionally as always grab those screws and of course just pop them on top ideally in a cross pattern and then use a screwdriver to apply even force and at this point I will admit that I finally took your advice and went out and had a Burger stopped for dinner and when I came back uh I had actually realized that these pipes these tubes might actually cause us a little bit of an issue with the graphics card CU they kind of Bulge out and they're so big where they've got obviously quite a lot of fluid in but then also some of the wiring I believe to get all of this to actually properly work um so what I have done is just used a couple of cable ties just to sort of push this back let's uh take these slot covers out on the back first I believe it's actually a total of three for this GPU and then this whole thing should if everything works out just line up with that slots and then just push down into position and I've got to admit right when I was planning all this out in the back of my head I did think is this going to work but I mean look at this it actually perfectly works I I think this is the first time I've ever done a proper white and black build in an allh case where it seems to be working properly because everything has been perfectly matched obviously I plan this out but yes you've got this lovely black GPU all of the elements kind of just go with it and tie it in really nicely so I'm excited to see what this will look like when it is on obviously we' got to do our power supply next but you can see the appeal really of this cuz it's a nice big aesthetically pleasing graphics card it's not going to be to everyone's tastes but that's why they sell different ones as well but I think it's a centerpiece without relying on loads of RGB lighting to get there so let's get this safe and secure he says almost dropping the screwdriver right a couple other cables to plug in for the allinone coer so we have our USB 2 so we can control it uh our fan cable so we can get the fan speed sent from the motherboard to the coer itself and then we have our power connection which is actually a six pin PCI oh I shouldn't have put the graphics card in because the USB is at the bottom I've done it I know that's not very helpful to you so here's some footage of the motherboard where the USB 2 is but don't go thinking you're out of the cable management Woods just yet cuz of course you've got that all important power supply to go I'd recommend probably like a 750 watt unit or something for this system really but we're going to over speec it slightly just cuz it means that you could essentially put any graphics card really so it's going to make future upgrades easier as well this is from montech it is the sentury G5 this has a 5year warranty 80 plus gold so it's pretty efficient but not the absolute best uh but because it is a fully modular power supply it's going to be nice and easy to Cable manage and it does also have that 12vt high power connection here as well which means that we can have that single cable to the graphics card and hopefully not have any mess fan obviously facing outward so it can breathe and then this just slots in this hole here then we can screw this in CPU is at the top left motherboard ATX is of course on the top right and then of course last but certainly not least we have that graphics card connection give it a good push down you should hear an audible click again triple check this cuz it is very very important but otherwise I think that is actually our rig now complete definitely a little bit different I'm looking forward to it turned on spinning and obviously this display doing a lot of the talking uh and I think this is going to be really useful cuz it's literally all the bells and whistles but without the lighting that arguably doesn't make that much difference although actually no hang on you want to see around the back this is without me doing my final Cable Management this is just manage as I go and you can see there's not really that much to do here really I wouldn't say it's necessarily the best laid out case in the world but it does leave you with not that much to do which is certainly a Big Boon of course we be needing a monitor and the PC Centric mouse mat available at PC Centric do store or link down below but okay this is it Moment of Truth is it going to work I could hit the right button oh oh is it on yes doesn't B well does it right every everyone promise you won't laugh at me and I would explain exactly what happened because it's not what I expected in actual fact the problem was that I had essentially shorted the whole thing out by plugging the USBC in back to front so it kind of felt like it had gone in but it hadn't that sounds weird so there you go you've learned something new today if your PC doesn't boot check you've actually done the USBC properly and I'll tell you what it definitely does look a little bit different it's almost a little bit weird to me to not have any RGB Lighting on this at all and I will say and I'll actually show you very quickly that if you go into the height Nexus software uh this is where you can sort of control everything I don't like it it looks really good and user friendly but it's not everything is really complicated I mean even just trying to get the screen on this to be a different color to the RGB lighting of what it's shining out behind for some reason seems to be really difficult I wanted to set it to white but then that would make everything on the screen white I mean the screen itself is really high quality and there clearly is a lot of potential here but the software is very early at the moment uh despite the fact that this has now been out for quite a while maybe the beta is better but what we've got here which is the main download on the website I'm not really a big fan of so potential but something like Corsair NZXT is definitely a whole lot easier to use but I don't know about you but I think it's time to actually start gaming now so the first thing that we're actually going to do is play a brand new one and this is right at the start of the game this is Ghost of shishima not sure that I'm saying that 100% right I think so but if I'm not apolog and this is one of those Nvidia titles actually that has things like frame generation which uses AI to give you an even higher frame rate DS say super resolution which we're using now so this is actually running at the very high preset uh but we have this set to DSS performance so as you can see the frame rate is really rather high on this and as I alluded to earlier this does come with dlss frame generation so we go over to the settings and we actually enable this so at the moment we're getting 109 FPS and then as soon as we turn this on it's essentially a frame smoothing technique if you like makes the game more visually smooth so it does add a tiny bit extra latency as you can clearly see here we're well under my target of around about 55 milliseconds or under so you're getting the benefit of a super smooth image whilst maintaining something that is still really responsive but let's take this opportunity to change T now shall we and actually proceed into the multiplayer realm of some Apex Legends and this looks like a brand new season actually because we seem to be in space Maybe we were before actually I mean yeah I suppose technically we definitely were but anyway this seems to be just under Max settings but this is at 4K and as you can see we do get a little bit of variance but still really really high frame rate around about 170 FPS or so I've set this to 1440p and we're getting around about 230 to 300 FPS again depending on when and where we are in the title but I know think it's time to properly crank this up to 11 and it might be a little bit odd if you haven't played this game before but this is Allen wake 2 it's been one of my favorites this year probably is actually my favorite this year well our frame rate is currently around about 60 FPS or so so if you're playing this on a TV especially a screen really if you have decent compatibility uh this is going to be a really good like console level frame rate really about 60 frames a second or so uh but because we have dlss and we currently got this as I say on a slightly smaller screen I or at least the first thing I would do to tune this would be to go back into the settings then change our render resolution from quality which is 1440p to Performance and then right off the bat you can now see we're getting around about 73 to 75 FPS but because alen wake is a rate race title I would also want to go into the settings and enable that so we're getting just under 60 FPS perfect if you have like a G6 monitor as we already mentioned uh but this if you do want to have all of the rage racing enabled and still maintain that sort of sub 50 milliseconds feel but personally speaking is what I want in game uh then I think this is going to be your best bet and as you can see you've still got those Reflections actually uh that are coming in from the diner in the window so this is a really nice balance between visual quality and performance sorry for the awkward insert by the way but I realized I hadn't actually tested this at 1440p so what you're seeing now is those exact same settings but now with dss3 frame gen enabled but at 1440p DSS super resolution set to balance and as you can see your frame rate is way higher here so if you are playing this on a 1440p monitor then you can actually turn the settings up even higher than this if you want but I'd still say this is probably going to be a The Sweet Spot if you want more of like a 1440p high refresh rate experience but the question actually goes out to you really because have you been experimenting with this what's your sort of sweet spot for settings for latency I would love to hear it really and I'd also love to hear your thoughts on this system as a whole do you like

fans here in the bottom as well which especially if you're going to be using the vertical GPU Mount which you almost certainly are it's quite good to have extra ventilation and air flow but okay enough fluff let's actually start our PC build for real this time and here we have the motherboard that we're going for I thought this would work perfectly actually with what we're trying to do it does have a little bit RGB but we can turn it off but essentially this is an AMD B 650a motherboard uh but it actually comes in this white and black configuration so I think it's going to sort of tie

fair bit more Force than you'd expect it's probably the most Force you use in any PC build and then this will be nice and safe and secure once you're done that you can of course then move on to the memory or the random access memory RAM in case you didn't know that and you do want make sure that your opening slots 2 and Slots 4 if you put them directly next to each other they run in what we call single operation or single Channel mode which means you actually get half the speed the one we've got here is 32 GB running at a speed of 6,000 MHz it's AMD Expo which means we can overclock it in the BIOS with that Expo profile and it should work fingers crossed this is some tforce Delta RGB there's of course ddr5 this new am5 AMD platform does only support ddr5 so make sure you are buying the right kit or sadly it won't work you can't carry ddr4 over from your previous build and then just plop this down into position until you get a nice click it's always satisfying you then ready to move on to screwdriver time no not the cocktail it is instead way more exciting it's time to install an SSD and interestingly enough lexar's NM 790 is probably the best all around SSD you can get in terms of like really high in performance but not paying through the nose again it will depend on the exact time of filming if you want to check out current pricing on anything featured in this video as always it is linked down below just remove this top slot this heat sink here is where your SSD is going to live this will help it keep its cool and you do have a little bit of plastic film to remove if you haven't done so already but I've used this board before then you just grab your SSD and you just with no Force really at all line this up with a slot till you get a little bit of a click and then on this motherboard you can actually secure it into place with this little nub in here and then you just replace that heat sink and then screw that back down and at this stage we are actually pretty much done but I do want to say that if you want to save a whole bunch of money we haven't tested it so whether the TDP is going to be perfect I'm not entirely convinced but if you were perhaps going for a cheaper CPU and you wanted to complete the allwhite look this is the Frieza 34 in white and I think this would perfectly match the theme that we're going for and it certainly would save you a whole bunch of money compared to the other cooler that we're going for which is pretty much what I would describe as the nuclear option but this is a cooler that is obviously very thick it's perfectly paired uh really for this case but it also has a display on the pump head itself if you haven't seen this before I think you'd be a little bit surprised cuz it definitely does do a few things differently I mean essentially this is a 280 but it's an extra wide radiator but a lot of cases especially if you're going to be mounting at the top are designed for just a standard radiator uh so this is going to have to be in a like bit more of a larger or at least more specialist case to be able to fit I realized by the way that I haven't actually explained why we're getting the call now it's because I would always advise doing your mounting or at least getting your screws and things ready before you put this inside the case what you usually have to do is remove these four screws and take these plastic bcks out and then replace them with some third party mounting so let's take these out now making sure not to lose them or drop your screwdriver and break everything then you can grab the AMD nut screw retention things and just put these in the exact same holes that you've just removed oh Jesus Christ okay what that was that was me dropping the really heavy cooler uh with a really expensive screen off of that computer case and onto the floor so it probably works but if I have damaged it I am sorry but taking the opportunity to move on very quickly now obviously we can start to get things inside the case which is exciting but before we do that we will need to actually just unscrew this PC Riser cable because this will have to go into the motherboard and obviously it's currently blocking us and then you can proceed to grab your PC case pick up your motherboard and you want to put it in this hole here and all of these standoffs are actually pre-done on this case so unless you're using Micro ATX you don't need to fill about with anything just literally grab your board and then as carefully as possible get it to fit in that hole at the back and if you are wondering by the way where the screws are in this particular chassi the storage Bays just pull out the back and then you have everything inside this little box once that is in position I do actually need to move one of these P brackets across because our graphics card as you can see goes here which lines up with this one then you just push this down into position till it clicks and then get that screwed down into your chassis before we put anything else inside here the next thing I like to do just to make it as quick and seamless as possible really is to grab our I/O cable so here we have a USB 3 USBC front panel for things like the power switch to actually do something and then you've also got HD audio not a lot of people actually need this typically using USB headsets and things like that uh but regardless you need to plug all of these in to get all of the ports in your case to work USBC which sadly isn't reversible is this little silver one below that you have your USBC move all the way down to the bottom right hand corner and here you have your front panel connection and it's on the left of this block and you just push it in and Tuck the cable down there and then all the way at the bottom left hand corner you have your HD audio which is a little bit covered but it does go in very easily once you've done that the next step is going to be to install the fans and we've turned this upside down cuz obviously I'm going to put some fans down the bottom or I say fans I'm just actually going to put the one I've only got three additional for this build but obviously if you wanted it to look as good as possible you would populate all of them I'm going to go for some solid white fans and these have been out for a while but for case fans these are still excellent Shadow wings too from be quiet you can pop this on top of your fan or fans and then with this particular be quiet fan it actually comes these little pegs that I can just push in like that then that dust filter can pop back into position and then screw it into place we just need to find a fan header for this now and actually there is one next to the front panel look so I can just plug this in there and then tuck this cable back underneath I do have two more though so let's put these at the top work slightly differently yet also very similarly we do have this top platet that will remove then this should lift up fans go underneath and obviously make sure you are orientating them in the correct direction fans blow one way and here we're going from bottom all the way out to the Top If you can see the nice bit of the label then it's blowing away from you whereas if you can see this label which is the bad side of the label it's blowing toward of course we'll also need to plug in our fan cables too and here I'm just using CPU optional and then this one for an all-in-one right okay that's the fans in now we need the big stuff the thick cooler and of course the GPU and then the power supply I'm going to do the cooler first cuz this has the potential to damage the most amount of things it's so much weight if we can tubes will be downwards though and loads of people always ask about this air rises right when it's in liquid so you just want the tubes to be at the bottom where possible because then the air bubble are going to be at the top rather than at the top where your tubes are and then it will get into the loop that's the idea anyway let's take the opportunity to plug this in cuz it'll be a lot easier now and it's fairly easy to do this locks in there like that then of course it's just a case of actually fitting this into position you can then grab these retention arms for the pump head itself does say AMD on it then we can just drop this on top of those screws remember that we haven't actually taken the spring screws out of the box and then professionally as always grab those screws and of course just pop them on top ideally in a cross pattern and then use a screwdriver to apply even force and at this point I will admit that I finally took your advice and went out and had a Burger stopped for dinner and when I came back uh I had actually realized that these pipes these tubes might actually cause us a little bit of an issue with the graphics card CU they kind of Bulge out and they're so big where they've got obviously quite a lot of fluid in but then also some of the wiring I believe to get all of this to actually properly work um so what I have done is just used a couple of cable ties just to sort of push this back let's uh take these slot covers out on the back first I believe it's actually a total of three for this GPU and then this whole thing should if everything works out just line up with that slots and then just push down into position and I've got to admit right when I was planning all this out in the back of my head I did think is this going to work but I mean look at this it actually perfectly works I I think this is the first time I've ever done a proper white and black build in an allh case where it seems to be working properly because everything has been perfectly matched obviously I plan this out but yes you've got this lovely black GPU all of the elements kind of just go with it and tie it in really nicely so I'm excited to see what this will look like when it is on obviously we' got to do our power supply next but you can see the appeal really of this cuz it's a nice big aesthetically pleasing graphics card it's not going to be to everyone's tastes but that's why they sell different ones as well but I think it's a centerpiece without relying on loads of RGB lighting to get there so let's get this safe and secure he says almost dropping the screwdriver right a couple other cables to plug in for the allinone coer so we have our USB 2 so we can control it uh our fan cable so we can get the fan speed sent from the motherboard to the coer itself and then we have our power connection which is actually a six pin PCI oh I shouldn't have put the graphics card in because the USB is at the bottom I've done it I know that's not very helpful to you so here's some footage of the motherboard where the USB 2 is but don't go thinking you're out of the cable management Woods just yet cuz of course you've got that all important power supply to go I'd recommend probably like a 750 watt unit or something for this system really but we're going to over speec it slightly just cuz it means that you could essentially put any graphics card really so it's going to make future upgrades easier as well this is from montech it is the sentury G5 this has a 5year warranty 80 plus gold so it's pretty efficient but not the absolute best uh but because it is a fully modular power supply it's going to be nice and easy to Cable manage and it does also have that 12vt high power connection here as well which means that we can have that single cable to the graphics card and hopefully not have any mess fan obviously facing outward so it can breathe and then this just slots in this hole here then we can screw this in CPU is at the top left motherboard ATX is of course on the top right and then of course last but certainly not least we have that graphics card connection give it a good push down you should hear an audible click again triple check this cuz it is very very important but otherwise I think that is actually our rig now complete definitely a little bit different I'm looking forward to it turned on spinning and obviously this display doing a lot of the talking uh and I think this is going to be really useful cuz it's literally all the bells and whistles but without the lighting that arguably doesn't make that much difference although actually no hang on you want to see around the back this is without me doing my final Cable Management this is just manage as I go and you can see there's not really that much to do here really I wouldn't say it's necessarily the best laid out case in the world but it does leave you with not that much to do which is certainly a Big Boon of course we be needing a monitor and the PC Centric mouse mat available at PC Centric do store or link down below but okay this is it Moment of Truth is it going to work I could hit the right button oh oh is it on yes doesn't B well does it right every everyone promise you won't laugh at me and I would explain exactly what happened because it's not what I expected in actual fact the problem was that I had essentially shorted the whole thing out by plugging the USBC in back to front so it kind of felt like it had gone in but it hadn't that sounds weird so there you go you've learned something new today if your PC doesn't boot check you've actually done the USBC properly and I'll tell you what it definitely does look a little bit different it's almost a little bit weird to me to not have any RGB Lighting on this at all and I will say and I'll actually show you very quickly that if you go into the height Nexus software uh this is where you can sort of control everything I don't like it it looks really good and user friendly but it's not everything is really complicated I mean even just trying to get the screen on this to be a different color to the RGB lighting of what it's shining out behind for some reason seems to be really difficult I wanted to set it to white but then that would make everything on the screen white I mean the screen itself is really high quality and there clearly is a lot of potential here but the software is very early at the moment uh despite the fact that this has now been out for quite a while maybe the beta is better but what we've got here which is the main download on the website I'm not really a big fan of so potential but something like Corsair NZXT is definitely a whole lot easier to use but I don't know about you but I think it's time to actually start gaming now so the first thing that we're actually going to do is play a brand new one and this is right at the start of the game this is Ghost of shishima not sure that I'm saying that 100% right I think so but if I'm not apolog and this is one of those Nvidia titles actually that has things like frame generation which uses AI to give you an even higher frame rate DS say super resolution which we're using now so this is actually running at the very high preset uh but we have this set to DSS performance so as you can see the frame rate is really rather high on this and as I alluded to earlier this does come with dlss frame generation so we go over to the settings and we actually enable this so at the moment we're getting 109 FPS and then as soon as we turn this on it's essentially a frame smoothing technique if you like makes the game more visually smooth so it does add a tiny bit extra latency as you can clearly see here we're well under my target of around about 55 milliseconds or under so you're getting the benefit of a super smooth image whilst maintaining something that is still really responsive but let's take this opportunity to change T now shall we and actually proceed into the multiplayer realm of some Apex Legends and this looks like a brand new season actually because we seem to be in space Maybe we were before actually I mean yeah I suppose technically we definitely were but anyway this seems to be just under Max settings but this is at 4K and as you can see we do get a little bit of variance but still really really high frame rate around about 170 FPS or so I've set this to 1440p and we're getting around about 230 to 300 FPS again depending on when and where we are in the title but I know think it's time to properly crank this up to 11 and it might be a little bit odd if you haven't played this game before but this is Allen wake 2 it's been one of my favorites this year probably is actually my favorite this year well our frame rate is currently around about 60 FPS or so so if you're playing this on a TV especially a screen really if you have decent compatibility uh this is going to be a really good like console level frame rate really about 60 frames a second or so uh but because we have dlss and we currently got this as I say on a slightly smaller screen I or at least the first thing I would do to tune this would be to go back into the settings then change our render resolution from quality which is 1440p to Performance and then right off the bat you can now see we're getting around about 73 to 75 FPS but because alen wake is a rate race title I would also want to go into the settings and enable that so we're getting just under 60 FPS perfect if you have like a G6 monitor as we already mentioned uh but this if you do want to have all of the rage racing enabled and still maintain that sort of sub 50 milliseconds feel but personally speaking is what I want in game uh then I think this is going to be your best bet and as you can see you've still got those Reflections actually uh that are coming in from the diner in the window so this is a really nice balance between visual quality and performance sorry for the awkward insert by the way but I realized I hadn't actually tested this at 1440p so what you're seeing now is those exact same settings but now with dss3 frame gen enabled but at 1440p DSS super resolution set to balance and as you can see your frame rate is way higher here so if you are playing this on a 1440p monitor then you can actually turn the settings up even higher than this if you want but I'd still say this is probably going to be a The Sweet Spot if you want more of like a 1440p high refresh rate experience but the question actually goes out to you really because have you been experimenting with this what's your sort of sweet spot for settings for latency I would love to hear it really and I'd also love to hear your thoughts on this system as a whole do you like the fact uh that we have gone for something a bit different something a bit more solid rgbl less or
