Building with the Dominator Platinum and Leds

I've always wanted to experiment with building a PC using the Ryzen 5900X, but I didn't have the right components to make it happen. Finally, I got my hands on an RX 3090 and decided to build a system that would showcase its capabilities.

To start, I needed a case that could support all of these components. After browsing various options, I settled on a mid-tower case with good airflow and cable management features. The Dominator Platinum is a popular case among gamers and overclockers alike, so I was excited to see how it would perform in this build.

As I began assembling the PC, I realized that I needed some creative solutions to make it look visually appealing. For example, I wanted to create a color scheme for the system, but I wasn't sure what colors to choose. I experimented with different options and ultimately decided on a yellow-gold color scheme, which turned out beautifully.

To add some visual interest to the case, I designed a custom tetris-inspired layout using the LEDs from the Dominator Platinum. This not only added a touch of elegance but also helped to create a unique look that set this build apart from others. The result was stunning, and I couldn't wait to show it off.

Assembling the PC was a breeze, thanks in part to the Dominator Platinum's excellent cable management features. I made sure to keep everything tidy and organized, which made the build process much faster and more enjoyable. With all the components installed, I powered on the system and was immediately impressed by its performance.

Temperature Tests

To test the system's cooling capabilities, I ran some temperature tests using software like HWiNFO. The results were impressive: under full load, the CPU temperatures never exceeded 55°C, which is an excellent result. This confirms that the Ryogen cooler is indeed doing its job, keeping the system at a safe temperature even during intense workloads.

Software Optimizations

With the PC up and running, I knew it was time to optimize the software settings for maximum performance. This included updating the chipset drivers, reinstalling Windows, and configuring various settings in the BIOS and UEFI firmware. It's amazing how much of a difference these small tweaks can make – my system is now performing like a dream.

Case Fan Controller

To further enhance the cooling experience, I installed a case fan controller that allowed me to control the speed of each fan individually. This feature proved to be very useful, as it enabled me to adjust the fan speeds based on the system's temperature and load.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engive nick a new computer and he screws up the lighting instantly it wasn't my fault okay so if you guys haven't heard nick is back he's uh back with the team and he needed a computer and i was like well take that one i'm really sad because it's so pretty and stuff i mean i really like this computer the problem is even though it's a 6800 xt i am running 4k i'm giant and don't look so messy my desk is this is going to be the most rog chili video i think we've ever made you're right i forgot about yours unintentionally so okay anyway uh i don't want this tower anymore i want to build myself a 5900 x build because yeah i give him a 5950x and i'm going 5900x because it's better at gaming you get better fps on a 5900x so we're going to get my threadripper out of here go go go he's on to me corsair's 4000d af delivers optimized front panel airflow and maximum cooling for your pc and with its built-in rapid route cable management keeps your system looking tidy while also staying extremely cool the equipped corsair 120 air guide fans provide directed air flow allowing you to fine tune the components you want to keep cool to see the full list of features and configurations for the corsair 4000 d and 4000d af click the link in the description below um so as i started to say this is going to seem like the most rog chili video ever it just happened to work out this way they didn't ask this it didn't sponsor this or anything it's just the way it is so my my workstation built workstation really the only station about my work build is my action stations when i'm playing world of warships these are parts we just had laying around you know so that we could do a build here uh no honestly the threadripper build has been great uh it's been a long-term test in doing air cooling on there because it is a be quiet tr4 cooler and the dark rock pro tr4 it's been amazing but you know for somebody that's an fps knob we had to go with the 30 90 strix which at this point i could probably buy a house for the price i could sell this for or at least a small used car we also are going to be throwing that in the crosshair 8 formula not the dark which is kind of funny because now i kind of wish i had the dark board which is the one that nick's got in his build because that one allows us to do like turbo core or turbo clock overclocking and then all core overclocking independently of each other which this board doesn't allow me to do that's fine i really don't care about doing any real overclocks on that um in terms of the power supply we are gonna be using an evga 1000 g2 and these cables right here these are some really old custom cables that i had made for skunk works back when it was running three titan x's in titan x maxwell cards in three-way sli back when it was still working and these are the custom cables i had for because it was an orange themed build so this is going to be a white black and orange theme and then of course when i said that to nick he's like oh it's azimov all over again counter strike days right quite literally when i say these reports i just had laying around it is the truth like this power supply goes way back you guys remember when ebj made the red ports and the red cables for the pcie yeah this is like five or six year old power supply it's not dirty because it's never really been used so it's time for it to finally be used in terms of cooling i had really debated doing a custom loop in this but i just did all that on the other build that's the one that you saw that nick was on in there yeah that turned out phenomenal and i look at it and i'm like i want that one but it's okay my builds at work tend to be a little bit more reasonable these days so i chose a case that i think would be something much more in people's alley or house in terms of price this is the be quiet dark base 700 this is the white edition it's a special edition i don't know if they still make it we got this several years ago we finally took it out of the box the other thing too is it's got edge lighting built into the case so i'll be able to make the lighting in here uh orange we're also going to be using people three million of them the 3.1 million of them i figure we'll just go ahead and use some uni fans why not i mean we don't have that many of them but that's fine um it gives me a chance to actually finally use the white uni fan so we'll put the white uni fans on the ryogen which i didn't even mention yet we're using the rog ryogen 360 aio even though it comes with great fans they're made in collaboration with noctua they're essentially black ppc fans we are going to be putting in um the uni fans in here because i just want it to be as much white in there as possible and we'll probably do a mix of like 140s for the front and then the three 360s for the top and then i guess what we'll do is we'll just take you guys along for the ride and then in terms of memory because i forgot to grab it let me go get some hold on i'll just go ahead and use some dominator platinum rgb 32 gigabyte dimms we just had laying around i was right we did have more uni fans somewhere i thought so i was like there's no way i would have only been stuck with that many so i've got three 140s so we'll do two in the front one on the top or one in the back and then three 120s on the top for the aao okay that's perfect nick just organized all this that works okay all right so i guess uh we'll just let phil do his thing while i build so i think in hindsight it might have just gone with all black cables because then i can make it any color that i want but as you can see i sort of made them like a yellowy gold sort of a color the dominator platinum with this compelling um leds there we just have it on sort of like a tetris mode which is kind of cool looking i haven't turned on the display yet for the ryogen cooler um because it's right next to the motherboard display and so i'll probably put an animated gif on there of me doing something stupid like the ugly face or whatever or this one the ugly face but the 30 90s in here it's funny it looks like it's sagging but it's not like this is interesting like it looks like it's curved down i think it's just the way the cooler is this part's a little bit loose-ish so i tried tightening it up with my but it's like the screws too long where the screw is bottoming out before it pushes that down i don't think that's helping but i think the white looks really good i was concerned about airflow in this chassis because the top as you can see is really solid it's just got these few vents right here but there's quite the gap between the top of the radiator and the rear of the case and if you look at the rear of the chassis here you can see on the back that it's got this vent pushing out the back so it's kind of nice let's have all the heat coming straight up you got some coming out right here and all of it going out the rear we already ran some temperature tests on this it definitely is running cool it's going like 55c under full load so the ryogen cooler is definitely doing its job i've got a lot of uh software um optimizations to do on this though because it's i need to update the chipset obviously for this particular motherboard windows has like reinstalled its drivers and stuff based on what's in here and but at the end of the day end of the day got my new 12 core 24 thread 5900 x with an rtx 3090 and 32 gigabytes of ddr4 you know not much but it's mine you know all my my uni fans in there it's kind of loud right now i've got it on full speed i also did wire them into the case fan controller itself right here so i can turn the fans down right here it's auto one two and three i do have it set to performance on the controller and then we can control the case lighting with this button right here it's green i really wanted to do like a slime green build with this but my green cables and skunk works wouldn't have worked there there's orange so it's be quiet orange it's ryzen orange it's funny everyone calls me such a shill for intel and nvidia i mean it is in there but we have more amd cpus hanging around than we do any other brand and let's face it intel didn't really have anything worth putting in here show another truth we have a 100k we don't know what 11th gen holds yet that's like next week i guess we find something out about that but this basically just gave me an opportunity to make another video about showing you guys look the s frame build that's coming in the future is going to be pretty over the top ridiculous i plan on buying a 3d printer so i can actually make some stuff that i want to do for that things like black ice and the crazy build that nick is on right now with amd all the water cooled stuff you don't have to do that that's fun and that's something i do because it's a hobby of mine but literally everything that is sitting in here is off the shelf nothing custom just took my time to wire it all nice and neat i mean i guess the cables were custom ordered on a build i did like five years ago six years ago but other than that everything else is just bolt in here there's nothing crazy or custom about it and you can look it can look great i mean it helps too that there's this kind of rog ecosystem sort of going on here that was totally by chance but hey since all this stuff's in there i want you guys to go ahead and go down below in the description you'll find a list of parts including all the asus rog stuff that we stuck in here and latest versions of it because some of it's a little bit old like there's the dark version now of this motherboard um as for the coolers and stuff i'm not sure if there's newer versions i'm sure there are we'll put the stuff down in the description below so you guys can see exactly what went in here and as you can see it looks fantastic so thanks for watching guys and as always we'll see you in the next onegive nick a new computer and he screws up the lighting instantly it wasn't my fault okay so if you guys haven't heard nick is back he's uh back with the team and he needed a computer and i was like well take that one i'm really sad because it's so pretty and stuff i mean i really like this computer the problem is even though it's a 6800 xt i am running 4k i'm giant and don't look so messy
