First build of 2014 WOOOHOOO!!!!!!
11:36 Who wants to bet Linus never wears an anti-static strap and just says he wears one on his ankle because we can't see it. ;)
you don't need it. Just to make sure you discharge any static electricity now and then.
Nice one.
Y10Q How to do that? I know it's maybe stupid question but I don't know :/
Not at all. Touch did of PSU or inside of case.
*side
Is this a good build.
CPU:A human brain a found at a graveyard
GPU:An artist forced to work all day in my basement
RAM:20 people forced to carry information
Motherboard:My basement
PSU:1,000,000 lemons
HDD:10 people
Case:My house
Monitor:The paintings the artist makes
Mouse:A whip
Keyboard:The brains control panel
OS:My mind
Im going to use this for office work.
i think you should add another 500.000 lemons
***** Ok
Jake Clancy Actually 999,999 potatoes give more energy than 1,000,000 lemons.
Jake Clancy I think 20 people forced to carry information is pretty weak. I would go for a safe 33.
Maybe go for a ski configuration with the artist and move to Antarctica for optimal cooling options
I was surprised by the intro.. Nice one linus media group..
Linus, the reset and powerswtich can easily be turned 180 degrees. You just need to undo 5 screews and the plastic button falls right off.
Yep. I found that out later.
Axel Solhall 1 year late lol but just bought a Prodigy M, mind if you share your knowledge on this? I wanna do the same thing
+goldhg1fkp what do you mean? Do the same project in the case?
+sky fisher no his name is a lightswitch
+sky fisher Yh no shit
I like how Linus wears his lab coat while building a PC xD
+benjamin plays Linus dying or the parts?
linus dying would make for a much more interesting video though
true
+Joshverd Because building computers is a science.
He doesn't wear it anymore :(
The tip regarding the SATA connections/boot order legit saved me a lot of headache. Cheers dude on your 18 month old video!
This build guide is the best one yet. The style for intro and outro are excellent too.
I just enjoy watching these.
I can't believe you'd replace a Be Quiet! with a Spectre Pro - talk about a down grade, who cares about green LEDs, I thought you were a silence nut, Linus? You just killed this build for me, lol.
BlurredFace The comment was half sarcastic, but considering the Be Quiet! fans are on par with Noctua's, I just figured he'd be touting them a little more than he has. I guess at the end of the day he is somewhat of a corporate shill, though, there are certainly instances of him either omitting information in reviews or biting his tongue for the sake of not bad mouthing certain things for companies he values.
This is like a work of art. So compact, quiet, and powerful. Awesome video!
So happy you did this video, my next system is going in this exact case, so glad to see how far I can go with this case for building a system
Linus with his terrible puns haha
LOVE the intro and outro :)
This came up at exactly the right time, because I'm planning a build in the BitFenix Colossus M (which is internally identical to the to the case used here). Thanks, guys!
Very good build video, luv the cpu cooler install.
Thanks for this one linusmediagroup !!
@LinusTechTips have you thought about doing a new updated version of this build? I think many people can benefit from small portable builds, but I don't want to get out dated parts. I also am trying to do an Ultimate build, so I want the best parts.
+Albert Gonzales Jr Agree with you. Love mATX because of its overall performance per price. But I think it will be wise to wait for the next gen GPU.
+Albert Gonzales Jr switch the CPU to i7 6700k, get matching motherboard, get 16 GB DDR4 RAM, switch GPUs to dual GTX 980 Ti or GTX 1080s
The Modern Shoe I have actually just spent hours looking for an 1151 motherboard with the same PCIE configuratin without any luck XP
Loved the Canadian touch here, Velcro. Yeah, Canada! :D
I'v been watching all your build guides and i love them all! Nice, clean and great explanation!
fantastic video man! looking forward more of these
There's a lot of amusing ironies to observe watching this video in 2019.
yeah, can you imagine watching it in 2021?
I love these videos even though I already know everything :P
Love your videos! Please keep the peripherals in the video
it's as though you knew I just ordered parts to make a compact build yesterday. bless your soul
Nice build! Could you do a review of the MSI H87M-E35 motherboard?
green build and RAM is red?
i love these videos, no matter how high end or specialized the build they really help me when I add or adjust my pc components.
Been a follower of LinusTechTips for a great amount of time, have not regretted it since! Keep up the great work!
As soon as I hear the "it's not all about size" joke I liked it instantly
lmao sorry man, if it makes a difference what he done for you, you just done for me, now someone else can carry it on. heres mine:....my arse is awful itchy....
lol, i was just joking, i dont care. I just wanted to post a serious post to see what would happen
"I like green..." LOL
More custom PC builds!! Love the ideas I get from them!!
Excellent video editing and outro! :) I love this Linus Tech Team. Very well polished work, guys.
ok. das cool
Linus likes bad puns.
GREAT new intro and vid editing. Keep using that style!
I agree, this is the best build guide I have ever seen.
Don't get the DeathAdder 2013 if you have large/medium hands and want to palm grip your mouse! Instead check out the SteelSeries Rival or Logitech G400s!
I agree 100%. I have medium/large..ish hands and use palm grip. Deathadder 2013 wasn't for me at all. Now I'm using Logitech g400s and thinking about buying the new Mionix Naos 7000 (wide one) or Gambias zeus gms1100 because even g400s is little bit too narrow for me. But deathadder...big no for palm grip users.
StSgry I have large hands I use a deathadder with a palm grip. it works perfect for me
StSgry stop saying 2013, the deathadder dimensions have always been the same, just call it the deathadder
crankCINEMA +1 for the Rival. Amazing mouse.
the sensei is the best!
As for showing peripherials, why not ? it doesnt take long and its nice to see stuff you recommend. Even if I might prefer something else.
I wonder if there are any mitx cases with more air flow .. any1 ? I would be scared to OC my CPU if it hits 100c on even on synthetics when gpus are running hot too with no oc on small enclosure. I mean... yes I know its fine but I guess I'm OCD about that kind of stuff and also would like to be able to overclock every compoment.
very nice video, extremely well put together, Linus!
Love the intro music and animation!
Do an updated version please!!!
Nice green motherboard with bright red memory. Ugggh my OCD is strong with this build
Christmas colors.
+PwnehCreeper12 That's not OCD...
+PwnehCreeper12 You don't even know what OCD is.
+PwnehCreeper12 stop using the word OCD like some facebook girl
+Mike Messiah I'll use ocd as much as I want.
Thank you @LinusTechTips! Thoughrough assembly and nice level of detail in the video.
Nice lighting. Really sets a nice mood :D
is this a good build?
CPU - i8 6970k
GPU - GTX R9 990 TI
RAM - 100GB Kingston Ballistix @ 6900MHZ
? plz help
R9 is amd ti is navidia and never heard of i9?
I'm I mean i8
LOL
I people actually reply to this I will laugh so hard.
RAM - 100GB Kingston Ballistix @ 6900MHZ -what you couldn't just buy this as a pc from a store and you would have a build it yourself and the most ram someone would probably use for a gaming pc is 64gb of ram
is it correct at 35:38 that the 4770k hits 91C ? thats extremely hot isn't it ? please correct me if im wrong ;x
It's toasty, yes, but that is a completely unrealistic scenario- doing real world editing, rendering and gaming it most likely won't pass 75. :)
triseebee
I never try to go over 80 degrees Celsius on my CPU though. 90 degrees Celsius is about my limit for GPUs. Mind you these are the limits I hit while running Furmark and Prime 95.
Your CPU will reach unrealistic temps when pushing it with prime95 and intel burntest. Nothing else will ever come close to those temps. 90c is perfectly OK to hit with those tests. As triseebee said, it likely won't pass 75c in any real world situation.
That did worry me, 91C. My rig doesn't break 80C with p95 and or IBT, and it's overclocked. I'm just cautious.
Fumark is a pussy destroyer. He won't experience that temps on a realistic scenario (check Farcry 3 Ultra 1600p full load), the CPU was sitting on a comfortable 60°C.
Even a very heavy rendering load won't put this machine over the 80°C which is still on the safe side.
I like the peripherals being added to the build
Awesome video! You do a great job. I always love vicariously building and imagining these works, since i don't have the money to build a rig of my own. You guys are amazing!
This is a $2,094.96 build (without mouse, key board, monitor, and the fans)
Did you have DUAL (2) GTX 780 Ti graphics cards?
Theres no way he did
That's what I was pointing out. That's the only way I can figure the difference in price that I got. $2802.81
PCPartPicker: pcpartpicker.com/p/3k7wy
ya ik i tried but i got about the same price
Who's still watching in 2022? Why? How did I get here?
2024 here
Amazing camera work!
You are awesome. I wish you did such build guides each year/2 years to keep it up to data. Thx for the video, it made me change my idea if i want a mini ITX once again :P
So I saw this in the video... > imgur.com/D5g2ObE Then I did this... imgur.com/z0PWPpb
19:02 We started at the bottom now we re here :D
19:00 I am sorry
I am amazed of how much detail you put into these videos I did not know how to build a pc so I had to go to UA-cam I went to new egg but they were not clear and they did not have humor like you Linus but after watching this video I understood everything thank you soo much dude you helped me out I also subscribed to you 😄
Awesome video and great point at the end about the mac pro!
didn't use a noctua cooler?!?!?!!? Are you alright linus?
What do they do with the pc after they are done building it? Do they sell it or does someone in the office use it?
They usually dismantle them
Either they use it or they re-purpose the parts for future builds.
Ok makes sense but you would think that they would sell it for a tidy profit. Something like the recent 4k build guide would yield some good money, especially because companies like intel provide most of the parts.
they tend to rather break it down into parts and then sell the parts individually.
Actually, they don't sell them or anything. The parts are either reused or sit in their office, waiting to be used, but never loved again. The reason is because they are given by companies and sponsors and such, so in the case that they don't take them back afterwards, Linus and the crew are forbidden to get rid of those lonely parts in any way.
OMG, that new intro is so funky awesome! ^^
well done, this was actually a really great video. I would like to see you make a budget gaming pc a swell.
What do you think about my new rig? Specs:
Intel core i7 4790k CPU
Asus z97 pro MOBO
EVGA GeForce 780 GPU
NZXT H440
16gb Corsair Vengeance RAM
Samsung 840 EVO SSD
WD Black 1tb HDD
Corsair RM650
Thanks:) Working as a pizza chef finally pays off
benjamin parmeggiani This is exactly the same as the build I was planning on building, save for the case. Let me know how this works out!
Genral Graphics
The PC looks and performs like a beast. The only problem I have is that I find myself looking more inside the case than on the monitor, haha. The components cost about 2200 dollars, but I live in Norway so It's a bit more expencive...
well it is good but you should have gone with Kingston ram and a 4770k
I'm a bit tired of hearing the "video editing" argument towards buying an i7 vs an i5. Seriously, how many people actually do video editing on a frequent basis ? Unless we're talking about professionals or UA-cam content creators, in which case they should look at Socket 2011 or Xeon, most people's video editing endeavors will be pretty much limited to trimming some holiday clips once in a while. I don't think this alone justifies the extra cost of the i7.
Imagine UA-camrs considering the needs of video content creators ;)
But seriously you're right, most people won't care, which is why I specifically say that it's for those people, and not necessarily for other people.
I know I'm late to the party, i7 benefits video rendering, but also is CAD, especially with 3D software like Solidworks
+A Fighting Sheep pardon the typos, I was making it more concise and forgot to change that.
+floflorian Trying to justify inferior product, you're poor :)
i chose the i7 3770 because i got it cheap in a 2nd hand shop and it was cheaper than the i5 i wanted to buy. i bought it for 180€ instead of 300€
I love the case and the spectre pro fans
Nice job!!
I really enjoy the peripherals, please continue adding personality to these computers instead of just a simply powerful computer
The Corsair M65 is a better mouse imo
why not swap that heatsink for a h100i? Fans on the bottom to eliminate any compatibility issues.
I was thinking of the same thing.
the case might not have place for a rad
Nickthetick144 it does
Smoking Crop Priced around 3k for this build without monitor does it really matter at this point? hehe I personally would go with kraken x40 ($99), rear mount it then use nocuta's on the top push air through the bottom and then you can flip the psu so the fan pushes heat out as well. But that's me :)
That's why I mentioned I would rather go with Kraken X40 which has a range of rpm's between 800-2000 rpm most of the time it would even go that high and it's not the much of a difference in dbA noise level of a shadow rock 2 is 15.3-25.4 dbA and the Kraken is 21 - 37dbA. which can be dropped by using a noctua fan instead which are at the 18 ish to 22 ish dba range.
But at this point it's splitting hairs which ever way you feel more comfortable. :D
bravo...great cord control!!!
Hello Dr. Linus very good video. The explanations of the components and why you chose them is good
/ PG
Now this will be a killer build with 2 GTX 1080's
There are better cases out now. I'm particularly fond of this one because it allows radiators: www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Black-Extreme-Chassis-CA-1D5-00S1WN-00/dp/B00PDDMN6S/
+KinzixHD two 1080s and a kickass processor? Thats gonna be 750 pull, so go with a 1000 or 1200 for safety :)
but Linus green is not a creative colour
Love it.
+NatzoHD At least its HeaLthY
+NatzoHD I thought we all agreed, to never be creative again
Its okay. At least he did it on Time.
I really like this new way the video is edited.
thanks, I was interested in something just like this.
GTX 780 TI's, perfectly fine graphics cards that absolutely no one uses anymore.
***** Exactly.
Well, the video came out in February of 2014...
600 euro here, rather get sli 970 for roughly the same price (50 euro give or take)
Frotzy Wow, They cost like a third of that down here.
mariochaosspear plus its 3gb... haha, such a ripoff. fuck, 970 sli is almost cheaper then 1 of them... heck, a 980 ti is almost cheaper.
size dosein matter right guys :( ? lmao at that part
Great video. I enjoyed watching it.Looking forward to seeing more. Keep it up, Linus!
Learning a lot from your vids, Linus. Thanks for your knowledge and hard work.
4/5, because i wont taste salami. :)
Wtf, man.
xxTacoRevolutionxx Yes i am =D
M-ursu They don't know the joke :)
2 questions: how much is this and how would I get it wireless connection and still keep it in the compact box
It will be over $1000. You can get a wifi card witch would keep the small form factor, but make it wireless
Thanks
I looked up the 780 and it was 1000
Am I looking at the wrong one
No, those are the right ones. If you want, you can just do one graphics card instead of 2. I would recommend getting GTX 980's instead of GTX 780's. The 980 is more powerful and consumes less power. It will be around the same price point for the cards, but it helps you save money on your power bill and you will be getting extra performance.
would a msi gtx980 work for duel graphics cards, or would it just not be worht it
Coolkid787 If you're budget orientated, I wouldn't go with the GTX 980. For much less cost and only a little less performance, I'd say a 970 is much better.
Nice!!Good luck guys!!
Holy crap, I love Televisor! Great to know they are getting more attention.
What should I expect with a PC like this? I know it's unreasonable!
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-5960X Extreme Edition Eight-Core 3.00GHz 20MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011-V3 [+694]
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200 RPM HDD [-18] (1TB x 4 (2TB Capacity) Raid 0+1 Extreme Performance with Data Security [+198])
MEMORY: 32GB (4GBx8) DDR4/2800MHz Quad Channel Memory [+732] (Corsair Vengeance LPX [+194])
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS X99 Deluxe ATX w/Wi-Fi 802.11 AC 2.4/5 GHz, Dual Intel GbE LAN, 5x Gen3 PCIe x16, 1 PCIe x4,1x M.2, 10x SATA 6Gb/s [+221]

Use gtx 980 and a ssd
SO MUCH INFO CANT HANDLE IT
Expect a mass money loss
change the gtx 780 to gtx 980 in sli and its perfect
Noah Grimes Titan Z? That has as much GDDR as four of the Graphics cards you've got there
Watching this makes me sad, because I have a Pentium E5700 and a Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 ;c
My pc has a dedicated graphics card and still can't watch UA-cam videos. Gonna build a new, really good pc soon though.
CyberJellos yes you can, prob just need to install flash.....smh
Hahaha...no.
How did you watch this video then?
CyberJellos People like you confuse me. Thinking they need a $3k computer to watch movies and play minecraft...
Great video with great tips! I'm about to build a new system for a buddy of mine here in the next few weeks. It'll be a mini-ITX mobo, so really small system. Just a single PCIe x16 expansion card, gonna put a Geforce GTX 770 in there. The case we're gonna use is just long enough to handle that card. Still undecided on if we're using heatsink/fan or one of those AIO water cooling setups like from Corsair. I've never used water cooling in any of my builds before, so might be a good time to try!
Love watching these. Thanks for the vid (y)
Linus, why you don't spread thermal compound on all along a CPU?
god no. pls don't do that.
not every cpu is designed the same. at least i used the guide provided by artic silver for my i5. a line of thermal compound right along the top of the 4 cores. worked great
You don't need to do that. You just need a pea sized squirt, and the heatsink itself will spread it out as it's secured down to the motherboard.
You want to have as little thermal compound as possible.Its only there to fill in little gaps between the heatsink and cpu.
T'hat King
LOLOLOL NOOOOOOOOOO you are soo wrong , the thermal paste is what makes the heat transfer...dont speak when you dont know what you are saying
linus: having dvd drives is silly.
thanks for your advice linus i had no way to install my mobo's drivers since the ethernet port wouldnt recognize my modem. i had to wait till the next day and go to the store to buy one.
Problem solving 101: download the drivers to a USB. Plug the USB into your computer. Install the drivers.
Can't recognize USB because drivers for your USB aren't installed? Take your hard drive or SSD from your PC build. Next, plug that hard drive/SSD into another computer (either via eSATA or with the cable that comes from an external hard drive). Download the drivers to that hard drive/SSD. Plug the hard drive/SSD back into your PC. Install drivers.
Problem is I didn't have a secondary pc so I had no choice
arechikitsune I find it hard to believe you didn't have at least one PC or Mac relatively handy. How did you even order the parts?
From my phone
He did say that you should get a external did drive in a video.....
Thank you for thanking the time of making this video for those of us that are not all that tech savvy. I would love to see a tutorial on building a PC
Slightly bigger than an X51.
Keep doing peripherals! Coz yeah, I like it :P And do more build guides! I love watching them and wish there were more! XD
Well, of course AMD graphics cards would not be right for an Intel sponsored build guide.
I don't really think that's the case here (although it might be).
I think it's because the GTX 780 Ti SLI is the fastest dual GPU configuration you can get right now. Of course, the R9-290X CF is also a quite beast rig, but the 780 Ti's beats it by a bit.
And also consider that two 290X will get really hot, and in that space they will surely downclock, giving less performance, so the 780 Ti SLI looks like a better option in such a cramped space (at least for me).
"I like green." - Linus, 2015
+TheChineseUnicorn 2014.
The peripherals are great, keep them. Also nice build :)
thanks for the insight of small form factor computering and gaming in the future i have been thinking along the same lines as you for a while.
OMG YOLO 420BLAZE IT DU-DU-DU-DUBSTEPPPP!!!!
So how's the 700W PS handle the 780 Ti SLI? Can it really supply power?
700W is more then required, I guarantee he didn't pull more then 500W. People always over spec power supplies and Linus is one of the few who properly specs his builds. I'm pushing a 780Ti and 4770k @ 4.8Ghz on a 550W PS and I'm still below 80% efficiency range XD
Rougewolf This guy might not know what he talking about here. A full sized system like that will draw very close to 700 watts at full load. If not 700 watts. People over spec power supplies all the time but it's not necessarily a bad thing considering power supply efficiency peaks around 55% usage.
Have you ever actually checked what you are pulling from the wall?
Na, but many reviews do. And a system with a 780ti at full load will draw about 40 more watts than a 780. Say 4770k and 780ti with some hard drives and fans and everything else will draw about 420 watts. Add another 265 watt video card and what do you come up with.
Sean Wilson
According to his graphs it didn't . It shows a 500 Watt usage whilst running Far Cry 3 at ultra settings so looks like Rougewolf is right here
Fantastic build Linus! Impressed by the punching power of the hardware in such a small form factor. Just wanted to say though, on the external expansion side of things, due to ability to daisy chain your peripherals with thunderbolt, it is just one or two cables connected directly to a Mac Pro chassis. I use a MacBook Air with a Belkin thunderbolt dock which connects to a DVI monitor, my FireWire drives and audio interface as well as USB drives and peripherals. Makes it an elegant way to plug one cable in and have everything ready to go. Might be an exciting future with these smaller form factors!
Keep up the good work dudes!
God, back when Linus wore that lab coat...
The puns xD Oh god they are bad.. Please stahp Linus..
-laughs-
Well I'm inspired.. Great job!
been waiting for a itx build for so long!!! ITX is gonna be the future, manufactors should see its market!
