*UPDATE* - For whatever reason this got pinged or posted somewhere and suddenly gained a ton of views today, May 16th, 2018. Why? No idea, but I noticed and thought I'd say hi! :) I do still have this PC, but it has been changed over time and actually has less in it than it did back then, it hasn't been turned on in about a month, rendered obsolete by Ryzen sadly... Most of the parts were moved to other PCs.
It was put next in my que on may 26th. It also lists you as "Sponsor" in the vid details implying it's a sponsored video. I've been thinking about checking out your videos anyways, and this is great! I wish I had your vids when I built my first PC. Slower than most builds, so not as exciting, but incredibly detailed which I searched for but couldn't find.
@@MichaelLloyd You mean when he turned the rear exhaust fan around at 1:33:33? I understand what his plan is but one question is, aren't the front intake fans being interfered with due the the hard drive placement? But maybe that's not as big a deal bc it brings air in vs expelling air from the extra fan installed over the front drive bays. Note: I wish there was a search function for comments such that I can narrow down what I want to look for vs commenting on something others may have commented on. At least this would make it more efficient/easier for me but might make fewer comments on the vid.
Exactly, its quite surprising to me how he keeps it interesting even with a 2 hour long video, his Part 2 of this build was one of the very few hour long videos I've watched on youtube.
For anyone interested, the raw footage from the build ended up being 7 videos totaling 160GB and the estimated file size of the upload itself is about 50GB. I film at 100 Mbps and render at 50 Mbps, the missing file size is trimmed footage, there is about 3.5 hours of raw film and 2 hours and 17 minutes of finished footage Actual filming time was about 6 hours, including setup and transition time, and a few breaks for me to eat and take a break from talking. :) This video took just over 10 hours to render in Adobe Premiere Pro CC on my i7-4790k with DDR3-2400 RAM (it took RU-vid more than 15 hours to turn it into all the various formats once uploaded!)
Thank you for the stats, it's really interesting to hear about how much time and effort from both you and your hardware went into making this video. I put it on 2x speed and watched it in one go, thank god RU-vid has this option lol Great video, really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the installs and benchmarks to come.
I'm curious as to what your camera setup is, your videos have very good detail since you are shooting in 4K and 100 Mbps, are you shooting with an A7 series camera or a GH4? Also, the sound is very clear and consistent all throughout the two hours, I truely appreciate the time and thought you put into your videos, all aspects are very consistent and well made. Keep it up!
My older videos and build videos (including this one) are filmed with this - amzn.to/2dxRynR For awhile, I had one of these, but had endless problems, so it went back to Amazon - amzn.to/2cRKDaE My new front demos and shots are filmed with this - amzn.to/2dGeJwE
When you look at the cable management at first it looks bad. But then you realise how many drives he has in it. This video was quite interesting I think tech deals is the best RU-vidr to keep the audience listening. Other tech youtubers do builds that take a few hours like this but I usually fall asleep.
That was my thought exactly, however consider all the cables would have been too many at the back of the case and most likely wouldn't be able to close it. Also it's his pc, so he don't care and he's not using it for showing.
im here in Ireland and i must say i love your no nonsense approach to videos. very informative and i look forward to your updates. keep up the good work.
UPDATE - Windows 10 installed nicely on this computer last night, Part 4 will be longer than normal for a Windows 10 first boot video, lots of updating! The motherboard BIOS was at 0401, newest version is 1101, so I showed that being updated, as well as SSD firmware updates, drivers, etc. That video won't post until tomorrow, I haven't edited it yet, but I'll try and get it up for the morning.
Forget these fools crying about the cable management. You have the most detailed instructional videos out there. Plus video quality is phenomenal. I never get tired of your videos. Keep up the good work.
I just built my first PC following your instructions and it went flawlessly. I am typing this on it now. Your instruction video was actually one of the best I've ever seen. Insightful highlights for me were the temporary screws on the fans for installing the radiator, third exhaust fan to balance air pressure and your raving endorsement of the 750D (which got outstanding reviews on Amazon etc.). Indeed it was a breeze to work in. So thank you very very much, my build went much better than it probably would have without your input. Please keep up the excellent work.
To be clear... it is my do everything computer, or to put it more clear... It is designed to do everything I personally need a computer to do. :) I'm sure you can find things it doesn't do as well for other uses, but this is tailor made for my use case, which I explained in detail in Part 2
No worries, go check out Part 2 linked in the video description, you might enjoy it, it is the detailed "why" behind this as well as a look at the decision making behind all the parts.
Finished building my ultimate pc. thanks to this video it made my job a lot easier. it's been a while that I build something but it went without trouble. So thanks again.
I just LOVED these 3 videos so far! I learned in 2 hours more than I learned in 6 months reading! I can't wait for the next in the series! I actually had popcorn for this 2 hour video. It's very entertaining for me! Keep it up!
Tech Deals This is better than movie series for me! I activated notifications to be sure not to miss it! Your channel will grow a lot and can't wait to see that!
I just got to say, you are probably the best I've seen at explaining all this stuff, I really appreciate what you've done and how you've done it, keep up the great work, your a natural !
Please fix the cables, tuck and hide them away. My eyes are burning just from seeing them, this is a 4,000 build, cable management should be a high priority. Nice build by the way.
Thanks a lot. I built my first PC with the help of your instructions. Components were not exactly same but similar. Because of your detailed descriptions and explanations, everything went smoothly without any glitches.
Specs costs 4000 bucks but you made the cable management look like it's a $100 computer lol :( but thanks for the video I always enjoy build videos :) To the newbies out there: it is much recommend to manage your cables behind the case for a much better air-flow (and looks much cleaner!)
Buy a case with one of the easiest cable management and a big window to see what you did, put 4000$ hardware in it and leave the cable like that XD but i love your video keep up the good work
Yes... would you feel better or worse if I told you that I just don't care? What if I add that it makes zero difference to the performance of the machine? That heat and airflow are just not issues? Yes, it is a mess, but it is under the desk and I don't look at it.
Thank you so much for the most definitive build video series I have ever seen on RU-vid. This has helped me immensely. You definitely have an additional subscriber right here. I completed my first build with your guidance. Such an amazing accomplishment. Thank you so much.
Hi. Watching this video after building my new gaming pc. Thanks a lot for all the help because without your videos I wouldn't have a PC custom built that booted first time and works perfectly. You are fantastic and keep going! :D
Tip: you could still use the 2 USB 2.0 front ports. The USB 2.0 headers each support 2 USB devices. Note how the Corsair connectors only use one row of cables. The second port is wasted. It's very simple to carefully pull the cables from either the power supply or cooler connector and move them to the other one. My Maximus IX Hero only has one USB 2.0 header, this solution allowed me to connect both Corsair RM 750i and H100i v2 to one USB 2.0 header.
This is one of the greatest videos I've ever watched on RU-vid. :) Thanks so much for making this as detailed as you did. The only thing I would have liked to have seen are more close-ups or zoom-ins. I'm building my first computer in nearly fifteen years and the two things I am most nervous about are installing windows and dealing with BIOS, etc. (which another video of yours helps some with) and figuring out the who, what, where, why, and hows of plugging things into the motherboard. Your video has been SO helpful. Thanks!
Sweet, been waiting for this. Saw the whole thing! I'm currently waiting for my parts for my Skylake build to arrive, and feel confident that I won't mess up thanks to videos like this and Paul's Hardware 's live builds. The bad thing about living in (mid crisis)-Greece, and in Europe in general, is that hardware is so much more expensive than in the US. For example, I'm right now spending 1350 Euros (~1520 US dollars) in a Skylake build, having just one 250gb SSD, a GTX 1070, and a 550W PSU. The PSU in particular (EVGA SuperNOVA 550g2) is costing me 107 Euros ~ 120 US DOLLARS!!! Whereas in NewEgg you can find it at about 85$. The same build would have cost me about 900-1000$. That's a pretty massive difference. I'm guessing it's the shipping and taxes? Sorry for the long post.
man, i hope you are not serious, you cable managed the rear part better than the visible one, you didn't hide the 24 pin cable which is like the basic of cable management. I Don't understand, that case allows you to do it.
Really apreciate the amount of effort you put into your videos. It's not just your fantastic method of explaining everything properly and coherently, but also your general pleasantness and manners that I respect. Your videos helped me build my own computer, which I'm very happy with. Thanks a lot and I hope your channel will only grow further and further from here
@tech deals, Thank you very much for your video! In my opinion it is the most detailed information about assembling the computer i ever seen. I also telling you "thank you" for your clear an slow speech. English is not my native language but i understood everything! Good luck!
also for $4000 I would of gotten a set of braided cables for $80 more. looks way better and easier to cable manage. I just built a new pc and did that. will do it from now on. LOL
My only priority with the cables was to avoid having anything touching the motherboard and to have a modest amount of "don't get in the way", pretty wasn't a priority since I'll never look at it once it is under my desk. :)
this video helped me. im doing my first build in about 2 weeks form now. im building a pc for gaming that is going to cost me about $1600-$1700 dollars ( canadian dollar ). i have an i5-6600, a msi z170a sli mother board, a 1 tb seagate barracuda hdd, a 128gb adata ssd, 8gb of corsair ddr4 ram at 3000 mhz, and a evga 1060 3gb gpu. powering it, i have a corsair 650w psu and its all going inside of a cooler master master case. im bookmarking this video because it will help me when it comes time to build.
Tech deals, I really really enjoy watching all your build video's,one thing I like about your channel, is that you explain all the hardware in detail, I mean really detailed explanations,not like others.and there for, you got yourself a new subscriber.
Loved this build video! I admire how much pride you take in ethicality and doing the right thing. When it comes to mega corporations like Amazon it's easy for people to go "screw 'em, they've got tons of money". Your kids have a great role model to look up to :)
I really like your non-crop, cut and paiste tutorial makes it so much easier to learn. Well done. I'm building an X99 platform possibly either this weekend or some time next week. Depends when my Gtx 1070 EVGA FTW card comes in. Again I can not stress any further well done and thank you sir.
This must be one of the most comprehensive pc build guides I have seen so far. Very impressive indeed. But please reconsider that cable management. That case has good preconditions to do a nice cable management on the backside. With the cables arranged like that you will create an airflow dead spot in the lower half of the case which may reduce the cooling performance of the gpu and the 950 pro ssd.
holy smokes extremely detailed/helpful video . i just skimmed thru the part i needed info on. i'm gonna have to watch this whole thing later, then watch the other parts, then onto the other videos on your channel ;)
Your all video's are very informative. Helps all the consumers for making right choice to buy correct part's. Keep the good work. Thanks for all perfect review's.
finally found this channel. mann this channel contain a good educating videos tho. for beginner pc bulder like me, this all 4 parts videos is very easy to follow thanks for providing this videos :)
you have 4 internal usb 2's, corsair link on your power supply and cpu cooler just use a dual plug, its a waste.. buy a y adapter or pull the wires out of both and insert them into1 plug that you got from some old case... basically your cpu cooler is taking up a usb 2 port that its not using.. the plug electrically just covers them up
Dude that cable management tough :D just a quick example: The main Motherboard cable should have gone BEHIND the motherboard (panel without glass) and enter on the top rubber hole and THEN plugged into the MOBO :D
I got the evga gtx 1070 ftw. I agree on you with not returning products. But mine had major coil whine so I returned it and bought another 1070 evga ftw wich worked perfectly. Its a beautiful card.
Again with another extremely detailed and well-paced video, thank you Tech Deals. I learned a lot of new little things that I will be opening up my build at home and reconfiguring. I enjoyed your recommendations on smaller items that are good to have when it comes to working on computers or other accessories. I'd appreciate some of your recommendations for good items to have around or that you use regularly as well as component recommendations such as keyboards. I'm sure that might be something you are looking into for the future.
Commenting an industrial power supply design Engineer I don't think 2 intake fans and 3 exhaust fans can create a low pressure system as such unless the case lacks ventilation holes elsewhere other than directly in front of or behind the fans. You appear to have vented expansion slot covers which will serve as an input for extra air required by the third exhaust fan. This would provide adequate space for additional air into the enclosure preventing much of a pressure drop worth worrying about. I would imagine Corsair think pulling ambient air (cooler air) into the enclosure rather than pulling warm air (enclosed air in case) out through the radiator is a better arrangement.
repeating is mother of knowledge! ;) I like Your videos so much! I understand how much work You put in to it. Will wait for 950 pro and raid test! Thank You!
Man my ocd is killing me with all those visible cables 😂 but I have to say. Video was very informative! And your experience with some of the components you've used before comes across clearly. Cannot wait to build a system oneday 👍
200 Cable ties, and look at that!!! I know everyone is commenting here about the cables but it's totally valid. I can't believe i'm seeing mechanical drives either, get a NAS people!!
This is true, but I guess if you are like me and have a lot of data having a good 8 bay NAS with RAID 6 is a pretty safe option. Thought of you today Jason when I bought a pack of 1000 cable ties :D haha. Keep up the good work
You are very thorough just like Carey Holzman good video I watched the other parts as well! I am a computer tech as well 10 years not my living just as a hobby
Hey mr tech deals guy, great video . Cons : - too long - ugly cables, lol . Pros: - i've never learned more from a build video than this one ( planning to build my seond pc ) Congrats for an awesome informative video Thank you : )
While it might be true that good cable management gives you better airflow in tiny tiny cases it doesn't matter at all in a big case like this. It just looks nicer.
Yea, there are a lot of comments about that... You should see my other computers, this one was pretty good! :) Frankly once this is under my desk at home, I'll never look at it again, so the appearance doesn't bother me, I just want to keep the cables off the motherboard and if there is enough airflow, then it's fine.
I'm surprised. Why you didn't route cables on the backside of the case,as it should be (CPU and MB power cables)? I'm at 50:50 and when I did fastforward of video I see all that mess of cables in front. I would route all those cables should at the rear side of the case.
I would've removed the 5.25 cage. Actually I removed all drive cages in my case. I will not intend to use any more HDDs in the future and I will have only two SSDs for now, sitting back of the motherboard. And with having NVMe on the motherboard, I think I have plenty for now. And If I would ever need more, I will use one of drive cages to the top (where 5.25 cages are), so there would be space in the front of fans. :) Waiting for the rest of videos. Great work!
Love the detailed video, I'll be watching this again once I build mine for a follow along build tutorial. Although I don't like how you left the main cables in the front of the case. I hate birds nests, makes me cringe.
Sorry for commenting so much but as I get further in more questions brew... I was trying to throw a build together and noticed almost all X99 motherboards need a bios update before use, I can't do this as I don't have an extra. Any ideas?
