Not all PCs have to be RGB Puke... 

but jay, shouldn't the pump be lower than the rad? isn't the air going the caught in the pump on that GPU?

Do you want a brief explanation of an acorn? In a nutshell, it’s an oak tree.

Ok so going ahead and changing the GPU rad location, it definitely gets some bubbles periodically in the pump which doeant make noise, but it does lead to temp spikes here and there. I was hoping that I could have gotten away with it a little longer that I did but oh well.

I just hope no manufacturers use wood on monitors. Picture always gets so grainy.

You asked for it: - I can cut a piece of wood in half just by looking at it. I know it’s hard to believe, but I saw it with my own two eyes. - I walked into a bank, pointed a long, thin piece of wood at the ceiling and shouted… “This is a stick up!” - I was going to tell a joke about carpentry. But I didn’t think it wood work. - The Wood Glue I just bought doesn’t stick. I guess I got the wouldn’t glue instead. - My boss told me to attach two pieces of wood together. Totally nailed it. - What do you call a sportscar carved out of Italian wood? A Lumberghini. - Guess what I saw? Wood. - What’s the scariest wood? BAM! BOO! -

I "wood" come up with a joke, but it's harder than i thought

Jay: Not all PCs have to be RGB puke Jay's sponsor: Buy our awesome AIO with a hinged LCD display to view RGB from any angle!!! 🤣

Me with NO RGB and Noctua fans and cooler :). Could not be happier with a silent build and NO RGB bloatware installed

Soooo nice. Refreshing to see a more "stealthy/low-key build....not all of us like our rigs to look like a casino in Atlantic City....👍👍

"not everything needs to be rgb" "anyways, here's our sponsor that want to put rgb on everything!"

"I love this build because no RGB vomit, but first this build is sponsored by an AIO with straight up TV built in."

Wood tone case: you too can make your case look like a 1970s hifi!

High School Anatomy Teacher: There are 47 bones in the human hand Student: 48 if you're lonely

Cool Jay, I can't wait to "Cedar"esults!!! LOL

If I wasn't afraid of making acorn-y joke, I certainly wood make one

What did the piece of wood say when it had nothing to do? ... I’m board.

this is one of the cleaner builds i've seen, lately. I think we need to go back to the old school modding days, when people used to make their own cases with wood... Back to the roots. I was huge into modding p.c.s back in the day, back when the mod zoo was the place to be... I miss those days... When it was so cool to see everyone's build logs, and the final results... This would have been one of those builds that would have fit into that category! I love it!

Jay: going for a clean æsthetic, and it's not all about RGB also Jay: sponsor ad for Hyte with RGB just about everything.

I have Zero RGB in my build. Black case (NZXT H6), black fans (Coolermaster Mobius intake/exhaust, BeQuiet Silent4 140s in the bottom and Noctua nf-a12x25 chromax on the aio). Love it.

I know everyone is posting wood jokes, but I need to comment on how sick that montage soundtrack transition was. Phil still has the sickest montage game around... WOODn't you know it!

I wonder what things will look like in 3 to 4 years when I can finally afford to upgrade my 8-year-old system now.

I still have my pc inside a ikea fjällbo on a pc testbench. without any RGB, it just blends in to the living room. love it

I had a teacher back in high school named Mr. Wood. He got real tired of the morning wood joke

That Antec case goes _really_ well in the office setup there - great stuff, Jay! TBH, the gunmetal colour of the GPU card is a nice subtle highlight in the case. Enjoyed the build montage and the music. I'll say it again, if this case was available a few months ago, it would have been a very close call between this Antec case and the Fractal North which I went with for new gaming rig. - If I end up building a new dev box, I'll probably go with this Antec case. Glad to hear the new case and the whole desk _feng shui_ "brings you joy" - I get those exact same quoted words from the missus about the ThermalTake Tower 200 build I recently put together for her. :) I don't know if he's still with us, but with this timber themed episode, it would have been great to get the actor Edward Woodward in to the studio to check out the setup. In the 1980s, "Craftwood" was a brand name for the then, very new MDF. Yep, they got in Edward Woodward to do a TV commercial for "Craftwood" and Edward mentioned his firstname and surname and the brand name a few times in the 30 second commercial. Is that enough mention of "wood" for you, Jay?!

Instead of a joke, I'll share a Turkish parable: "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them." Not so funny but pretty deep when pondered for a bit. Modern politics, anyone? Thanks for everything, Jay, and keep up the great work!

Being a computer guy for a very long time from TSR-80s at school to my own C64/Amiga 500, then to a x486 Windows PC then all the 90's PC clones in off white and gray boxes. I love how all the newer PCs have RGB elements giving it a better aesthetic.

This build has so much wood, but no beavers.

I've always thought that PCs kind of looked like speakers. The case actually kind of matches and looks the most like a third speaker in any setup I've seen with the wood grain. I like the case.

Gives like a 1980's feel.

3 Blonds go for a walk in the woods. Half way through they come across some tracks. The first blond says "Look at those tracks, they are mountain lion tracks". The second blond says "No, they are wolf tracks". The third blond says "You guys are crazy, they are clearly bear tracks". They were still arguing half an hour later when the train ran hit them.

Solid wood helps slide the panel into the front slot.

Who "wood've" thought that case manufacturers "wood" start making cases with "would" on them.😂

This is the PC builder equivalent of "Not all hero's wear capes"!

I Fractaled my WOOD, Watching tbis video 😊

A tiny bit of wood grain wrap to cover the silver on the gpu would complete the look perfectly.

Looks nice. Question: When will mainboard/PC designers finally understand that putting all the ports and controls on the front, or the back, would actually allow people to position the case efficiently, and would probably save on cables too?

I’d love to make a really bad Joke about wood, but I wood never do that.

I think painting the Video card logo a wood type finish would just be the chef's kiss to finish this.

The way that they slapped their wood across the face of that case is aesthetically pleasing

Imagine how clean it would have been with an air cooler. No tubes or visible wires.

At Jay's age, you get extra excited when you can proudly display your wood.

Antec was always the airflow kings. I'm glad they're back.

I was going to stick it to ya and post a good wood joke to become poplar. But I feel like such a plank for doing a terrible job. Then I twigged where I went wrong, I needed to spruce it up with more puns. But someone said leaf it out, so I got board and logged off!

Just gonna say, I absolutely LOVE the Hyte case featured in the ad/ sponsor spot. I currently am using it for my primary desktop and it ticks all the boxes I had.

Have to agree "fungshuwayyy... It looks good. " I appreciate the RGB builds, but this whole setup is more my taste. Wish this was an option at the time I did my build. Saved for future setup idea. Thanks Jay.

"My case has wood." "Why? Did your mom walk by?"

I like the look, very clam and mellow and no need for flashing lights warning ,

I'm currently busy with a scratch build using wood and it's growing into the hardest build yet. At least my wife loves it.

I don't have a wood joke, but I have a woody song You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles From your nice warm bed You just remember what your old pal said Boy, you've got a friend in me Yeah, you've got a friend in me

I have a similar build. Used the Phanteks G500A Black Performance Edition case. MSI RTX 4090 Liquid X mounted at top of case. MSI X670E Mag Tomahawk/7950X3D. Replaced Stock Fans with Artic Cooling P14 Max x 4 (3 front/1 rear). Used the Cooler Master 824 Air Cooler and replaced front 120mm fan with Noctua NF-A12. Power Supply was Phanteks Revolt 1000 watt Platinum with Phanteks custom cable starter kit.

Now that's a proper setup. Clean, minimalistic, and precise. 😊

Can't wait for high-quality durable wood 120 mm fans. I want my wood everywhere

The little slowmotion effect makes the building look extra carefully exectuted.

The case matching the speakers is very satisfying.

You can turn off the RGB easily with drivers. Having tempered glass is nice because you can always make sure all your fans are spinning.

I have the North wood case and set it up with more of a classic Radio/Guitar amp feel. The RGB in it is set for a Red-Yellow glow based on CPU load, so as it works harder the glow gets brighter.

This year I'll absolutely kick my habit of tapping on dead trees... Knock on wood.

An actual build?. 🤯 I always complain about needing more builds and no lazy overviews!! Thank you j

the only LEDs in my setup are the power,hdd lights on the front of my case and white lights on my GPU which are turned OFF!!!! simple understated and works like it should without the flashing rainbow distraction beams everywhere

Best wood joke ever: "If Robbins beaver devours 6" of wood every half hour and and Jessica's beaver devours 8" of wood every 45 minutes, how much wood would I need to keep both girl's beavers well fed all weekend long?" - How I Met Your Mother

Perfect timing, I'm getting my Flux Pro on Monday for a Asus Rog Strix X670E - Ryzen 7 7800X3D - Asus TUF AMD 7900XT - LianLi 360 w/ RGB fans - Trident Z5 32gb 6400mhzm 1000W PSU build! Super excited coming from a B550 - Ryzen 5 5600x - EVGA 3060ti FTW3 - Crucial 3200Mhz - 750PSU. I also game in 1440p so this is going to be a huge help! Been saving up a long time. Oh and the cashier at microcenter forgot to ring up the AIO so...$189 free 🤣 & the 7800X3D was $276.12 on sale, and I got the 7900XT for $700. I really wanted the 5090 but couldn't wait anymore 😂This will be more than fine for the next 5-7 years or so though, I'm happy 😎

I'm building in this case around February for the first time if all goes well anyway.. So glad you did this vid thank you. parts im trying to use are the antec flux pro with a 7800x3d in a aorus x670e master, the artic freezer III 420 and a gigabyte 4080 super. Seeing how good it all looks put together is so awesome. Great build

Beautiful rig Jay. Love the scheme of your whole desk environment.

Yes no rgb and a clean build and all that but you know I put some RGB fans in it because of reasons. Oh and this is a product of our sponsor: a screen built into an AIO because that is definitely what you need within the context of a clean build. Jay, please don't ever change. We love you.

I definitely dig full black builds I've done a few. My current build has a lot of RGB but I like both!

If money was no object, I "wood" probably build this exact rig. As someone who can't stand the typical gamer-aesthetic, this build but all blacked out is dream machine. Loved the look of the GPU radiator in the bottom compartment.

The wood look is so good, I have it but can’t determine if orangish tan or deep green rgb looks best. Rgb continues to be a pain in the ass with the additional cables and controllers and software needed. Nice build Jay!

That actually does look sweet. I wasn't sure it WOOD but that is CLEAN!

Love the wood. It's good to see your taste branching out.

Wow Jay that setup looks amazing the case matches soo good maybe put a little fake bonsai somewhere and it will be a beast woody calm/chill setup.

I love the build and the combination of the case and speakers. Very classic, very clean. Personally, the silver GPU does not bother me, but you could try wrapping it in automotive wrap if you really want it black.

desk, speakers, case... that looks really damn good

Really clean setup, Jay! Looks like a great space to actually get some work done without all the distraction of RGB! You should tag Tech source in this one! One suggestion- change the RGB to a warm white to match your desk lamp, I think that would make it even more “cozy”. How’s your cable management? Lol

That is just stunning. My friend asked me to do a build for him, think il show him this video and have him save up for this :D Looking forward to the next video :D

You know, the finish of it all leads to a very cherry build that smells of rich mahogany with notes of oak for that vanilla sweetness that radiates throughout the grain of the video.

Love how your build turned out! The case that I went with is a Fractal 2 XL, but the rest of the setup is quite similar. Instead of the beQuiet fans, which I also tried, I went with Arctic's P14 PWM A-RGB, to match my Arctic 420 A-RGB AIO. How I have front, top and rear white fans on a blacked out case. Looks quite cool when the room is dark.

When you go with a high wattage PSU it really put some demand on the power lines in the building. Back many years ago I took a server class PSU home from work because the PSU in my machine had burned up. The dead PSU was either a BeQuiet 600W or something else from a known brand. I can't remember exactly. Thing is my machine probably maxed out at 350W, so there were not really all that much power needed. Anyway I brought home a 460W PSU from a very good manufacturer, but it was industrial design, and back then you could count on the efficiency being between 60 and 70 percent, so it liked it's power. Another thing was that the inrush current was huge, and the capacitor charged during inrush was freaking huge, so it blew the circuit breaker the moment you switched the power button on the PSU. I had to move it to it's own circuit and then it just barely managed to handle the inrush. Now I live in Sweden and we have 230V 50Hz AC in the wall and the circuit breakers installed were 5 Ampere so it should be able to handle about 1100W on one circuit. But the inrush current wasn't shy so with about 100W in the form of my monitor on the same circuit the breaker just gave up. Now if the circuit breakers had been just slightly larger, 7.5 A is pretty common, it wouldn't have been a problem. Here 9 Ampere circuit breakers are really the limit for ordinary plugs so 2KW is usually a safe load and most heating elements go right to the line and pull 2KW. But yea, if you go above 2 KW here you will have to use a another socket. Fortunately that's not something I am currently seeing as a problem for new computers other than servers and some really powerful workstations.

3:45 I got big varnish energy

I would love to see the entire thing painted in black 4.0 from Culture Hustle since Vanta Black is not exactly easy to get. So many cool things you could do with it being blacked out or high contrast/glowing

I love the title of this video. All you really need is something that gives you the performance and not the look

Thats totally the build that im planning on with that exact case. I was posting question about my build in your discord in the water cooling section, because I wanted to maximize heat disipation. I have a Cougar DarkBladder S with the same GPU you are using in this video and an NZXT AIO. I loved watching this video. Thanks.

Damit Man! Don’t you know it’s the Blinky Lights that makes things go faster! It’s SCIENCE!

This is one clean AF build. Love it!

Excellent choice of speakers!

Which beautiful star of West Side Story (1961) would love to have a custom PC built by Jay? Natalie Wood.

Love that screwdriver. I need something like that.

>Complains about RGB puke >Promotes RGB puke device heh

I hate RGB especially the fact that they charge you extra for it. This build is so clean and the wood frame looks good.

We all know RGB makes the fps’s so much higher. We all know Kyle’s bro lyle proved it.

Best wood joke.... This design is just like a sore pecker... You can't beat it.

Looks great jay. especially with your acoustic beside it !! :)

love the setup updates. It's been a while....

Those Edifier speakers are worth more than my GPU, they are amazing speakers and look great with this build.

I still want to do a wood and brass build, but two things. 1) EKWB is the only one (to my knowledge) that has wood inlay CPU blocks, and 2) they are only for Intel, and well... Intel.

The closest I've ever come to having an "RGB" build was with a Thermaltake case I had from 2004 that had a bright blue "Thermaltake" logo down the front of the door. Every case since has been solid, no frills and typically black with a *solid* side panel. Let's me easily have them in the living room next to my TV and not have to deal with a bunch of flashing lights bullshit. I can appreciate RGB systems from afar, but would never, ever want one. The case in this video might not have changing colored lights, but that's still an "RGB" PC to me. When your PC looks like a Lite-Brite, it's a Lite-Brite.

Who needs to watch Henry Cavill building a pc when we got Jay! 😂

Love the white light look.

Intro: I'm tired of all the RGB. Runs ads: *RGB fairy pukes all over the screen* 😂😂😂

I like the rgb in white above. It looks more like an internal case light rather than rgb. I might try this with mine

What tree fits in your hand? A palm tree. Boom lol not a wood joke but still thought it was funny. Great video Jay thanks for the content love it as always and the music is fire.
