Nice build! I really enjoy it. On the thermal paste part. I used to do that by putting a pea-size amount on the center of the CPU from following these experts' tips on YT. One day I decided to change out my cooler to a different color but the same model (Kragen Z73). I have been using it for about 2 weeks now so I know what the normal temp is. So I tried a different method with the thermal paste. Instead of putting a pea size in the middle of the CPU, I spread evenly so all parts of the CPU are covered with a thin layer of thermal paste. To my surprise, the temperature was about 7C-10C degrees lower than before. Now I was still a bit skeptical about it and thinking perhaps this is a little better built than what I had even though it was the same exact model. So I did an experiment and took out the cooler and clean up all the thermal paste and apply a pea-size amount of the thermal paste in the center of the CPU and put it all back together again. And what do you know the temperature was about 7c-10c higher. So I took it apart and apply the thermal paste evenly and cover all the CPUs. Whoever comes up with this pea-size amount is good enough need to be FIRED! Based on a true story. But I blame myself for being stupid bc if you think about it, it is common sense! Plus you only put apply thermal paste one time for a VERY long time. The only time I say putting the pea size method is if you're working in a factory with hundreds of CPU lining up for you to apply thermal paste. Other than that nobody should apply it that way esp on their own PC.
@@lx8591 Well not saying pour the entire bottle on it. Just a thin layer! Besides, thermal paste nowadays is extremely thick like paste from Thermal Grizzly extreme. It almost needs a small bulldozer to spread it. That's how thick it is and that was also the number 1 complaint from consumers. Plus it is none electrical conductive so it doesn't really matter if you do get some on the motherboard.
@@lilcwassoint agree. Lots of people tend to forget or have no idea what thermal paste real purpose is. Copper transfer heat way more effective than ANY thermal paste ever could. Or 32X faster than any thermal paste. So why apply thermal paste to your cooler? If you look at the copper on your waterblock cold plate, it might look as it is perfectly flat but it isn't. So therefore it will trap air within it. Sort of like air bubbles trapped in your waterloop and your liquid can't go through those air bubbles only around it and intern will generate hot spots where the liquid can't get to and transfer the heat away. That is where thermal paste or pads comes in to play. To act as a sealer and create a perfect bond between the cpu IHS and your cooler so air can't get in. That is it. That is all! So don't let anyone tell you any differently, bc if they do then they're simply ignorant and don't know what they're talking about. And the higher the quality of the paste/pads the faster the heat transfer will be and It only required a very thin layer of thermal paste bc if u put too much it will act as a insulator instead and you don't want that to happen. Is more important to have all parts of the CPU covered more so than anything thing is. From experience the best results I had is apply evenly till you can barely see through it. If you can't see through it then you're applying too much. Another way to remember on applying thermal paste correctly is think of it as a woman wearing a dress that is long enough to cover the subjects but short enough to keep it interesting 🤔 I hope this helps anyone understand the concept behind thermal paste
Nice build, you should look into 24pin and gpu cables that are rgb, I use the asiahorse 24pin mesh and I also got the normal 24pin rgb from both asiahorse and lian li, same with the gpu cables. But asiahorses 24pin mesh cable is something that my eyes never get tired to look at. Also in the future u know that lin li has a airflow case now that is super duper for cooling and so nice looking.
amazing build. looks so clean! since u have 1 extra fan left, i recommend adding that last fan at the back as u can fit another fan there. maybe change ur aio pump to the right side to make space for it. all in all thats one amzing build!!
good build! but i would suggest getting a newer gen cpu instead since its better for upgrading especially for intel or go with amd cpu. i also think but spent a lil too much on lianli fans and some of those monet could have got better performance from your budget. how ever if your satisfied with your pc then all good!
Only thing Id say is think about your intake and outtake fan placements but over all a great beginner build is also recommend getting a different motherboard
great job, but the 11400f was usable for your motherboard but you would have had to flash and update your bios with a USB thumbstick. If you are looking to upgrade in the future you will have to do this anyway because your motherboard's chipset does not natively support anything higher than 10th gen CPUs.
The PC looks dope af but you should have put the thermal paste in the 'X' design(i felt like you put way too less thermal paste) but other than that its an amazing build and amazing video

nah bro this ain't no expirence bro you did as good of a job of a guy who has been doing this for 10 years and I'm tryna save up and I suck at cable management stuff and I've built 3 pcs so far. Bro you need to teach me your ways plz.
Honestly if you dont wanna play with the most insane graphichs i would recommend buying the rx 6600. It costs 340 Euros at the moment on mindfactory. I have this gpu myself and its a really nice expirience
intel 11gen is compatible with lga 1200 in fact it the same socket that intel 11gen uses so the z490 is compatible with both 10gen and 11 gen since they use the same sockets lga1200 the z490 only needs a bios update that all
the gtx 1060 is fine, but if you couldve waited for a msrp price 2nd hand you can get a gtx 1070 ti. its about $100 difference for a lot more performance
The fact that you used a drill to screw in the motherboard made me physically cringe. If you screw it in too far it can cause serious damage. ALWAYS use a manual screw driver
I think there are some mistakes with this building I would say them to you 1: why would you buy a z490 board with an i5 10400 maybe if you got an i5 10600k or and i7 10700k especially when you have the water cooling system so you can overclock it. 2: why would you take a 280 hz monitor when its really hard to reach those frames even with 3080 ti on most big titles games, I see that you wasted your money on that , you can reach those fps with higher gpu just in esports games such as csgo , valorant , lol, etc. 3: maybe you should've invested your money better on( more ) ssd's or m.2's, and picked up 144 hz monitor instead, cause its way better than the normal hard disk that you use . 4:The case way too expensive . That's my point good luck with your next setup just wanted you to improve .
ty for your feedback! this is my first time building a pc and i wanted to share it with people so that the comments can help new pc builders like me. just wanted to let you know that i worked around what i had (because i filmed this when parts aren’t available) and did intend to upgrade parts in the future (mentioned it in the video).
@@FujisamaProductions hope you are able to make up your mind soon! i do love this snow case though, its sleek and i didn't think about any other cases after seeing it.
i am a writer for a magazine full-time, i have a side business where i make handmade stuff and sell them online (i do this on weekends) and i also stream on twitch at night!
HII, love the video, was just wondering, since you used lian li uni fans on the aio I presume you plugged the RGB cable from the uni fans into the controller but where did you plug in the other cable coming of the uni fans?
#beginnermoment but i'm planning on upgrading in the near future, i just wanted to edit and stream asap so i grabbed what i could get my hands on at the moment
@@NurMaisarah gotchu if you upgrade the cpu and want to keep the motherboard just get an unlocked i7 or i9 so a k variant bc you can overclock your cpu and use your motherboards features
Hello , i want build a pc like urs and i have 1100$ budget, I'm going for gtx 1660 super with core i5 9400f, anyways i wanted to know how much u spent on this setup?
join my disc, everyone keeps asking for the wallpaper, i uploaded it in my general chat here: bit.ly/maisarahxo *make sure to click the tick in rules so you can actually see the general chat
Sexy build asf 🤣 good job one question why did u have a 1060 when you spend money on a lot of other parts are you guna upgrade to like maybe a 30 series?
