This is low-key a tremendously useful video for people building their first computers. There are any number of videos about putting cpus in sockets or installing nvmes, but this covers all the config and dialing in stuff in a way that's both rare and in need of a modern update. Well done, Paul. I hope this can get recommended by the algorithm.
10000000% Everyone can figure out where the big components go pretty easily with many resources.. all the extras like finicky cabling, I/O, lights, fans and lighting making sense, etc etc.. making sure that what you bought is actually working, software and windows / bios tweaks are much more rare
RGB software is a nightmare. Very impressed with your cable management Paul, and thanks a lot for this. It's an excellent idea for a donation campaign!
Corsair’s proprietary rgb is the biggest joke of a money grab that’s a pita for actual users. If they used 3 pin 5v rgb wiring it would be 10x simpler to setup without using 1000 different proprietary hubs/controllers
Yeah, I've a Gigabyte x570 board, with G.Skill Trident Z RGB RAM. The RAM can use RGB Fusion [from Gigabyte] and it did for my last install. I rebuilt the PC, so fresh installed, only to find the RAM point-blank refused to link into it. had to uninstall RGB Fusion to install the basi g.skill software so it's not rainbow vomit. thankfully the mobo retains it's RGB settings. I also _really_ wish there was RGB control in the UEFI
Need a one rgb controller software for all. Current solutions aren't great yet but there are a couple options out there. Even my newest build has one set of rgb that won't sync with aura sync and it's frustrating... They are sold under being compatible and they work on msi mystic light. Other pc has 4 rgb software and they constantly bug on each other.. Annoying AF
Thanks for taking all the time and effort on this build and pulling out your hair at times during the build process ;). Like the easy entry on the contest as well.
Is it weird for me to enjoy this so much even though I have no PC, no console and haven’t gamed in 10yrs? The whole set-up of sick PC’s is so satisfying
Hey Paul, in MSI mystic light, go in settings and move the toggle that disables Mystic light from taking control over 3rd party RGB software. Has to be done each time you update Mystic light tho.
@@ranveerkhanna324 ua-cam.com/video/JXDHroMbi6s/v-deo.html I followed these steps. You have to disable your other RGB software from automatic launch on reboot and allow only SignalRGB to launch with your PC reboot/restart.
@@Endemoniada I have my 6 fans, mb, aio and ram controlled by gigabyte fusion. For my evga 3080 I just did a set it and forget it method so now just running the one software and everything is synched just fine. It's not the greatest software but it allows control of most things. I always just assumed all software for rgb were basically the same. With the ram sticks fusion even let's me control the individual leds so my trident sticks are red with white in the middle. Thought that was a nice surprise
The first 19 minutes and 10 seconds of this video are a great advertisement for non-RGB fans. This is not a dig against Paul, this is a dig against every manufacturer involved in this mess.
I like the little bit of RGB my pc has, 2 ram sticks, 2 fans - it looks nice. But yeah, running this amount just shows how poorly implemented the whole RGB architecture is.
Didn't Lian Li make RGB fans that slotted into each other and only had a single power and RGB cable coming off the 3 linked fans? Some fan makers have good solutions, but most do not.
@@TheKazragore Yes, the UniFans. I think you can actually go past 3 fans in a row, but who has room for that in their case? They do force you to use their USB attached controller, but the controller also allows passthrough of ARGB and PWM signals pretty easily with the software package. Personally, I have found builds where all the fans are split from one or two ARGB headers on the motherboard without any proprietary controller nonsense to be much easier to manage colors on, but since every fan is getting the exact same signal there's obviously less flexibility as well. There's still no avoiding the cable mess, unfortunately.
As a Linux user, almost every RGB ecosystem is a non-starter. I get the appeal of pretty blinky lights, but I feel like I'd be better off rigging a Raspberry Pi in the back of the case to control all of this nonsense.
That cable management job was amazing. Your perfectionist is showing through. Also all the RGB problems just remind me why I've avoided it all these years.
If I win this I will drive from the South Eastern US where I live to pick it up. Meeting Paul would be awesome, even if its just "Hey thanks for the PC!" Added benefit: I know I won't damage it in shipping. I've had two tempered glass side panels get shattered in shipping. At least it was for cases coming to me, to build for a client, and not finished builds.
Paul, thanks for the amazing job, this is a beauty. Actually like the troubleshoot you had to do, gives us the opportunity to see how you handle that. Entered the giveaway and shared the charity already and will share it more in the coming days across the networks I am connected with. Thanks so much and goodluck to all the entries for the giveaway. Kind regards, Anthony
Thank you for this video Paul and double thank you for going over the RGB software for this build. Whoever the lucky winner is will most likely need to come back to this video for reference.
I feel your pain Paul. I just changed in 4 ARGB fans to a previous NZXT 500 build and had to do some port and cable management kung fu and still managed to need to "encourage" the back panel closed only to find that 1 of the fans wasn't lit or spinning after the first attempt. Your zen like patience and perseverance has no doubt paid off with a build that has both power and infinitely adaptable looks.
Paul - great video and thanks for the follow-up. I also tried the second rgb hub as you did, worked better and I can now sync all my 10 rgb fans now... thanks for that.
I had similar problems with RGB on my last build... You'd think Corsair and others would build larger fan controllers, less proprietary connections and controls, and fans with a single cable controlling power and lights but they don't. Maybe that's a step for the future... 🤷
always appreciate the effort put in to cable manage and troubleshoot lighting and doing it as properly as you can. the fact that the door to hide it all closed without issue was very surprising and impressive.
Thanks Paul. The tweaking of the MSI bios and running timespy / cinebench and HWInfo64 and comparing those numbers to the expected results is something I had to go through recently and it made me feel better that the validation process I did was the same. Especially since I ended up having 2 broken off cpu pins after needing to unbend a whole slew of them and I was expecting the worst. Thankfully all of my numbers also ended up looking only slightly below their expected performance (I only have 1 channel of memory to work with now though D: ).
Between you, Bitwit Kyle, and JayzTwoCents, we get every bit of pc-related tech knowledge we need, not to mention the giveaways lately. Thank you for everything you do, and making it easy (and fun) to follow along with you!
It always blows my mind that fans can be such a pain to set up. What chance does a normal person have to trouble shoot without so many options to test with. Thanks for all your amazing work.
Thanks for putting in the work for this build and video, Paul. I feel like RGB implementations like this one are this weird give and take of taking a few steps forward to create dazzling new, cohesive effects... but to do it you need a flying spaghetti monster in back of your typically space-constrained case and hooked in to your motherboard that seems to deprioritize USB 2.0 more and more each generation; several steps back. Sad about it.
It's always surprising, even when it shouldn't be, that computers will always do strange things even after the hundreds of builds you have done. Also, that's a beautiful beard win! 🥇🥇
This turned out to be a pleasant surprise......for me. Long video cos it's detailed and I get to listen to more of Paul's explanation and description of tasks. :)
Paul, Thanks for building this PC for me... or someone else. A girl can dream. Really though, we all appreciate you, and the chance to win your hard work. Love.
I sympathize with the RGB. I have a full Corsair build too. I have 8x 140mm fans. 3 up front, 2 up top mounted on a radiator , 2 more on the bottom radiator and 1 in the back. Plus I have to wire in the Hydro x Pump/Res and CPU & GPU Waterblocks. I skipped any RGB strips. Had to wire all of this using the OEM Lighting Node Pro that came with the Crystal 680 case, added a Commander Pro and Lightining Node Core, luckily the 140 fan bundle came with a Core. I wish the Commander Core XT had been available sooner. Great build Paul.
Great setup! Quick question tho, i can either fromt mount a 360mm aio or top mount a 240mm aio, whivh one should i go for? I'm using i7 10700k and rtx3080.
I am still running a Dell XPS L702 laptop from 2012 and it is showing it's age now. my tower is not much better. I am sure there are many more deserving individuals but it would be nice to see this on my doorstep one day :)
Built my first rig with your guidance like 10 years ago(give or take haha), thanks for the years of help Paul! ...Holy molly what a mess rgb components add to a build. Bios, drivers, even windows 11 , all cake. The end game is trying to get Asus Armoury working... or Corsair Icue to acknowledge all your devices. I think they teamed up with Fromsoftware just to mess with us.
Video looks crispy, that PC looks amazing, and the beard too :) as usual, I am supremely impressed with how this build looks. Kudos to whoever wins it.
For mine I ended up getting a Commander Pro, and then they brought the Commander Core out a week after which would've suited me since it merges both the fan and lighting controller into a single hub
Great job with the cable manager Paul. I don’t have any RGB in my current PC and I spent a while over running all the cables so it would be clean. I couldn’t imagine how long this build took you.
Love these build videos x After seeing one of yours from a couple years back I've been saving to build my own x Come xmas I'll have all the parts I need and I love me some reminders on what goes where x Love your content, appreciate your content even with the drop in views across tech-tube
I might be on my own here, but the only RGB setting I would want is the off button. I can see the benefit of the CPU/GPU cooler screen but the rest would be get turned off on day 1.
I have had the K70 for about a year and have had problems with dead LEDs and some malfunctions on the keyboard itself to the point where I replaced it with an EVGA Z20 which works perfectly, so far. Have you had any problems with the K70?
Super cool Paul. Tbh I'd take thepsu and 3090, watercool the 3090, and sell the rest at a reasonable price, use the extra proceeds to upgrade to one of AMD's upcoming v-cache CPUs
The cable management is so good and clean. This pc will be helpful for needy.. I want to start motion graphic designing but I have no pc or laptop. And all the best everyone.........
I’m running into similar issues with my current build and I’m running the same AIO. I would LOVE to see a diagram of how you wired this all up. I think a visual would be very helpful to some of us.
My dad surprised me for my birthday with literally every component in the vid minus the 3090 due to obvious issues (amazing dad I know right). But damn we are too scared to tackle this whole build ourselves even with the two vids he has on it
@@Commoncommentscommons I was lucky that I was able to daisy chain my fans for the RGB. And for the pwn side I used splitters so I could have 2 fans per fan header.
HOLY S***.... 1: Your cable management is on point. 2: Corsair needs to come out with a 12 fan and RGB hub now, especially with the launch of the 5000D and 7000D cases, and the proliferation of their AIOs, you would think someone on their engineering team would come up with a all in one solution that can handle that many fans and RGB, and that someone on their software team would figure out the effects in iCue and fix it. The commander core XT is a step in the right direction IMO.
Paul, I'm so glad the videos around this exist. I have the exact same case with almost the exact same setup. I'm using Asus motherboard/GPU which link into iCUE. But the I wanted to add more RGB's but didn't want to struggle with it, the walk through of the back of the case and all the node configuration was super helpful! Thanks buddy!
When is the winner announced? I could use a GPU right now because the prices are still absurd (and I already promised my GTX 1080 to my brother so I can't sell it)...
First view of the cable management damn, that's a rats nest. Then after it's cable manage. Wow, I would definitely only put a cover over that and forgot it was there. really amazing job, dealing with all these pesky little cable to make sure the RGBs are all nice and smooth.
Thanks Paul. I have observed the pitfalls you may experience of giveaways by observing Jay's channel. Appreciate the kindness though. good luck everyone.
Hi Paul, I really enjoyed this video. It was a nice change of pace to watch you go through the motions with a new build while you also showed us some of the ways you check things and troubleshoot.

Paul, I'm so glad the videos around this exist. I have the exact same case with almost the exact same setup. I'm using Asus motherboard/GPU which link into iCUE. But the I wanted to add more RGB's but didn't want to struggle with it, the walk through of the back of the case and all the node configuration was super helpful! Thanks buddy!
Glad it helped Matt, thanks for watching!
Be careful, this is not the real person, it came to me too!
Good luck to everyone who entered to win this, you can see the hard work and effort he put in to make this monster machine!
This is the dream pc, look amazing hope the person who win this really needed 🙌🏼 good luck to everybody
Thanks a lot for the giveaway Paul! It is very appreciated as well as you're hard work to build this system. You're the man!
Be careful, this is not the real person, it came to me too!
@@redline8350 Thank you for your concern, but I figured lol
@@etiennefournier5208 u welcome 👍🏼
Love the "This way up" sticker on the Commander Pro XT lol
PITA or not. That looks great. And I typically don't like a TON of lighting in a case. but yeah... super cool.
Hurry up and announce the winner already I've got to pee 😂 nice video as always Paul...
Lol
When is the winner announced? I could use a GPU right now because the prices are still absurd (and I already promised my GTX 1080 to my brother so I can't sell it)...
First view of the cable management damn, that's a rats nest.
Then after it's cable manage. Wow, I would definitely only put a cover over that and forgot it was there.
really amazing job, dealing with all these pesky little cable to make sure the RGBs are all nice and smooth.
Thanks Paul. I have observed the pitfalls you may experience of giveaways by observing Jay's channel. Appreciate the kindness though. good luck everyone.
Be careful, this is not the real person, it came to me too!!
@@redline8350 Yeah I know. They did this to me on LTT too. I learned there it was all bs.
Hi Paul, I really enjoyed this video. It was a nice change of pace to watch you go through the motions with a new build while you also showed us some of the ways you check things and troubleshoot.
Be careful, this is not the real person, it came to me too!
@@redline8350 TY
D@mn RGB makes everything overcomplicated!! Maybe ditch the RGB-fans for non-rgb ones and be done with it? 😁 🤔 In any case, THANK YOU very much for the chance you're giving us to win this awesome PC!!!
RPG = PitA. Mystic Light = PitA. RGB * Mystic Light - PitA².
This looks so amazing and so much effort. Dream machine RIGHT HERE. Obviously I would also LOVE to win this but this system should draw out so many views and hopefully donations for Extra-Life as well. Looking forward to the stream.
Thanks Paul. Came out pretty good overall.
Awesome build! Hell of a holiday season gift for whoever wins it lol.
