I wonder if the capture card could have been mounted vertical in place of the HDD cage with an extension ribbon. There seems to be enough room although case mods would be needed to mount it. Also, mounting the radiator in the high position as exhaust could have provided 3 exhaust and 4 intake fans for a better air balance if the GPU's thermals are good. Just some thoughts. I look forward to seeing some tests :)
if your wondering about the air flow. Do something a dry ice, or smoke flow air flow check.. Seal up the case, and turn fan on, then push some clean smoke or fog through the case.
cool build also i like how you managed to fit the fans under the capture card, i like to do diy / kinda junky solutions like this, but in my opinion you could have chosen a more traditional case, all glass panels are kind of boring and remove airflow points
Glad I got to see how the PCIE layout on this board works out with more than 1 card, I had figured it might be problematic and kind of wonder why Gigabyte went with it. Kind of a shame as I mostly like their Aero boards but between the lack of PCIE slots and the funky layout I think I'll plan on going with the Asrock board if I do end up building myself a TR system next year. Also you can get SP5 / TR5 coolers that orient front to back instead of up down if CPU temps end up being an issue. Be interesting to see how it benches once you get to that.
Yes!! Part 2. Not sure why I didn't get the community notification for the vote. Either way. I really am looking forward to solving some of these airflow issues. Caffeinator out for now. I'll edit when I get with the whole video 2 times.
Was going to be really upset to not see how fast it is... and might have been nice to comment on the noise from all those fans, but I'm sure you'll cover that in the testing. Beautiful beast.
When you need an unusual part to solve a spacing problem, and you'd rather avoid destructive modification, the answer is always "3d print something". It's this decade's version of "just use duct tape". A printed part would make a good-looking piece to hold the capture card in the back., and for the airflow redirection, I can't believe you said "cardboard". A $10,000 build deserves better, and you can get a Bambu Lab printer for a few hundred bucks. (though personally I'd recommend the P1S w/ AMS - they absolutely rock)
When I worked desktop support a number of years ago we would often just use gaffer's tape to hold SATA SSDs in 3.5" drive bays on old workstations. We couldn't be bothered to buy adapters for them since it was likely the last time those systems would get assigned out before being recycled. The zip ties on the fans reminded me of that time, thanks for the member berries. If it works, it works!
Just biulding a high end pc for the first time in 25yrs, the difference in hardware are day and night things have moved on so much from the 80s and so has the prices 😅 Just hope mine turns out as good as that paul, merry Christmas to you all brother.
I love this set up with the modifications The reason is because sometimes I come across the same issues And I always feel dumb when I do things like this. Lol Watching you do similar mods makes me feel better about myself So thank you paul and joe.
get a riser cable, put the cable underneath the video card so you could put the capture card in the slot above the video card, that way it goes in one of the slots for the cables to plug into like it is supposed to.
That back plate you removed, you could 3D print a replacement with the cutout and paint it black and if you did it right, would probably look like it belonged there in the first place. The same with any clips you might need to make it tidier (not that you haven't already done an excellent job, but there is always room for improvement in everything we do). Cheers.
I think that I would be inclined to use racket grip tape on the back of that capture card. Any sharp solder points might poke through insulation or Kapton tape. Might dampen any vibrations between the cards as well. Less compromises.
I just like that a HEDT build can be like any other build, PC build or just home project build... Make it work. Fudge around all you need, just make it work. Fun build and vid.
I would just go with an external capture device. There's that new one that does 4K 120Hz besides. It's going to be a real PITA to plug/unplug HDMI cables from the card since it's not secured, it's going to unseat it from the riser.
As someone who has the identical MSI Suprim 4090, it will not go over 75C. Anything more than a single intake fan is unnecessary with that card, it's just crazy how well it handles heat. I went with the same amount of fans and it turned out to be very overkill lol
Use the RTX Voice feature on your fancy card to remove the box and crinkle sounds. You're welcome. And when nvidia calls next time, tell em to turn it into a vst and davinci resolve add on as well. I use that thing so much in video work.
since you have an extra fan (or two) would you consider putting an extra one in a double stacked exhaust configuration so the inner fan doesn't look like it's recessed compared to the two on the radiator below it? I know that would not be great for laminar airflow, but I think that ship has sank quite some time ago...
you guys might wanna hit up Jay (or get a 3d printer) and make some support pieces of that capture card and that separation between the top fan and the radiator behind the case. Also, I think the back fan should go intake as well and have a reverse airflow scenario where you pull aire from the back and bottom and exhaust on the top. Otherwise that heatsink is gonna have a hard time with air being pulled from either side, specially when the bottom fan of the heatsink is gonna be completely blocked by the PCIe card
I love everything about these videos. They are so real world. Just a quick question - from the angle of the camera, possibly, it looks like the CPU cooler is sagging. Is it just the angle of the camera?
Would been better to get a full tower case with better air cooling then that Show case Window RGB glass case. Like to see how hot inside the case get in full load.
Could you move the radiator on the other side of the mount so the 3 vertical fans are at the same height? Also, you should just test temps with that top fan as exhaust vs. intake.
Creative problem solving! I saw mention of a firmware update in the previous video offering bifurcation on all slots, so for the follow up video this build should look really clean with a bit of adjustment.
It's a nice setup... The only thing I'd change personally is the case , having that much power in that case with limited exhaust may lead to some to much heat build up and feel like some top exhaust fans would be necessary
Cardinal rule of modifications - if you didnt get hurt and it works then its perfect. Im all in with the modify as necessary to get it to work and maybe revisit it later to pretty it up, perhaps... one day...
2 things I would have done different, I'd have used a vertical mount for the GPU and CapCard. I think Lianli has one that holds multiple cards. And also I'd have just made all the side panel fans as exhaust. That being said I love it. Sick build.
I have a very low "janky" threshold. Rube Goldberging stuff doesn't make me happy. However, if it's your rig and you don't care, or, it even makes you happier to do it that way, than, go for it.
I would recommend also some kind of divider between the top fan and the other two fans on the back side, but on the inside, because that will reduce the air flow from the intake fans going straight to exhaust. Looks awesome otherwise though!
Fully embrace the jank and put the radiator for the GPU on the back of the case with the fans on the outside of it pulling air through. Then you would have 5 1/4 fans pushing air in creating positive pressure and a single point of exhaust. Real suggestion, use a case without a glass top. You are creating a workstation. Yes it's a pretty case, however for that configuration it is not a good solution.
I'd suggest testing the GPU performance in the bottom slot. Not sure if it's PCIe 4 x16 or PCIe 4/5 x8 physical... But may still be fast enough for that card. Or switch the GPU and storage cards.
In the end this build is not meant to be taken on the road for shows. It’s all about building something with loads of capabilities. Whether Joe is going to do video editing or game he’s going to have loads of fun using this monster. Merry Christmas!!!!
Awesome sauce! I was thinking when you cut the rear panel for the Elgato, cut a U-shaped opening, then bend the U so the card bracket can screw into it. Or get a 3D printed panel with bracket made. I could help with that. I have done it before on Level1Techs
Perhaps a push pull config on the 240mm radiator. You can put the included MSI fans behind the radiator if temperatures are high on the GPU. Wiring may be difficult to wire the fans into GPU since four would now be connected
Id like to see a video one day of how cache m.2 (like the ones you have there) vs dram m.2s works out for transferring large video files and scrubbing timelines.
I can't say much about jank methods to help functionality. I'm using fishing line to hold up one of the tube runs in my build because the sag was entirely tilting. Congrats Joe, you deserve this upgrade, and merry Christmas!
You will most likely need a dividing piece on both sides of the fans. Otherwise you may lose too mush fresh air that is needed to keep everything cooler during heavy loads.
Congrats on the new build Joe! Well deserved. And kudos Paul for hooking your bro up. I love zip ties. They solve so many issues, and not just in regards to tech. One of mankind's greatest inventions. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
If you're not doing push/pull, why not put the radiator behind the bracket so the fans would be flush? I do notice the tubes are pretty strained though.
The idea of making a channel way for the air on the top fan would be a good idea. May be even block it from the bottom and the sides to stop it from ejecting it back more into the back of the case.
I'm laughing my ass off at the trials and tribulations of this build... because I just went through the same nightmares finishing off my own build. One suggestion for that bottom rad/fan tray: get some 3M double sided tape. The black foam stuff. A little piece under each tab will keep it still and serve as some vibration damping.
Paul, it is always more advantageous to create at least slightly negative pressure in the case (less pressure = less heat) if possible and always exhaust the heat directly out of the case when possible, so you are not adding heat into the case...specifically the video card liquid cooling rad in this case should definitely be exhausting the heat out. Also heat rises so focusing on exhausting heat out or near the top is also the optimal priority. I'm sure you know all this...and now I feel trolled...damn it!🤦♀
I remember the phrase: My car is held together with duct tape and bailing wire. Well, now my computer is held together with zip ties and double sided tape. Great job you two.
As I'm sitting here sewing up a rip in my britches, having just watched part 1, I'm reminded of the adage 'necessity is the mother of invention'. I've also watched JayzTwoCents do (shiver)... unspeakable things to custom machines, that actually came out pretty cool. So, it's ok. Besides, if you're working with thin stamped sheet metal parts, things don't always fit, especially when they're upside down.
You could have put the gpu on the top slot and the radiator on the back(where the rear fan is mounted) by sliding down the motherboard and put a aio cooler vertically besides the motherboard for the cpu i think that would look cleaner and good too. What do you think????
Question. Why is the SSD add in card in the slot traditionally used for the GPU? It can't be because it needs the full 16 lanes of pcie. Threadripper doesn't have the same pcie limitations as most other systems.
Paul, I was under the impression that peeling the side panel's plastic (14:05) with the panel installed and the pc running is a real risky play because of the static electricity that builds up during peeling.
I would swap out the M.2 expansion board with one that does not have to be in the top slot. For the capture card as is. I would have drilled some holes for the screws on the bottom plate instead of the zip ties or some double-sided tape for the bottom fans. For the back, I would say time to get a 3d printer because I really hate the stress that those PCI-e extensions will be under when plugging and unplugging the cables. Maybe Two HDMI extension cables that you just leave plugged in and then plug in the devices you want to those.
I hope that all the SSD's are found by the motherboard and are working. I've seen mixed results with TR and NVME cards, mostly compatibility and stability problems.
will the vertical gpu bracket kit work. you need 2 pcie cables, the gpu will be on the farthest out and the capture card on the inside. the cables on gpu should be longer and route it above the capture card
Paul can you show us your must do system checks and must setup tips for a rig like this to get the most out of a system that can also apply to someone’s that isn’t quite at that range
For that capture card, I would have just wacked on some Kapton tape to cover the PCB and been done with it. Two layers if you were really woried about it shorting out. Nice build by the way :)
I love that the build is as unique as joe. I wouldn't expect a build for him to be any different. I love everything about it.
3D print your bracket (back plate to case) for the 4k capture card
Duct tape or gaffer tape would be faster and easier!
3D printing the bracket is a great idea!
Either that or switch the motherboard, no structural support on the card can't be good for it long term
I thought the same thing
@@Hondo132 there's not a ton of variation in motherboard layouts for this gen of TR
I wonder if the capture card could have been mounted vertical in place of the HDD cage with an extension ribbon. There seems to be enough room although case mods would be needed to mount it. Also, mounting the radiator in the high position as exhaust could have provided 3 exhaust and 4 intake fans for a better air balance if the GPU's thermals are good. Just some thoughts. I look forward to seeing some tests :)
I think 2 exhausts on the rad will work better, the tower cooler will get plenty of air, now you just feed it more hot air.
That 4090 will produce 450 - 600 watts of heat during gaming. The rad will need to be an exhaust indeed.
It's the most glorious $10,000 jank I've ever seen. I love it!!!
if your wondering about the air flow. Do something a dry ice, or smoke flow air flow check.. Seal up the case, and turn fan on, then push some clean smoke or fog through the case.

Great System Joe! Merry Christmas to both of you!

Caffeinator out for now. I'll edit when I get with the whole video 2 times.
I just love unorthodox builds. Would love to see a smoke test of some kind to test the theory of the airflow.
Congrats, Joe! Here's hoping you don't have to rewire your home office.
You could use spacers behind the top fan above the radiator to pull it forward to be flush with the rad fans.
Was going to be really upset to not see how fast it is... and might have been nice to comment on the noise from all those fans, but I'm sure you'll cover that in the testing. Beautiful beast.

So thank you paul and joe.

Horrible? No. Brilliant? No. Horribly Brilliant in a super janky way? Absolutely!
That back plate you removed, you could 3D print a replacement with the cutout and paint it black and if you did it right, would probably look like it belonged there in the first place. The same with any clips you might need to make it tidier (not that you haven't already done an excellent job, but there is always room for improvement in everything we do). Cheers.
Congratulations Joe, and Merry Crimbo to you both!

I would have just put Kapton tape on the back of the elgato and called it a day 😂😂😂
I would just go with an external capture device. There's that new one that does 4K 120Hz besides. It's going to be a real PITA to plug/unplug HDMI cables from the card since it's not secured, it's going to unseat it from the riser.
if it's all functional and Joe likes it, who cares what anyone thinks about brackets and zip ties and other shenanigans. Great build!
Congrat's Joe, beastly rig! Loved the work arounds, no fear on a high dollar rig
As someone who has the identical MSI Suprim 4090, it will not go over 75C. Anything more than a single intake fan is unnecessary with that card, it's just crazy how well it handles heat. I went with the same amount of fans and it turned out to be very overkill lol
Well, damn, thank you for not making me wait very long for part 2! lol
Use the RTX Voice feature on your fancy card to remove the box and crinkle sounds. You're welcome. And when nvidia calls next time, tell em to turn it into a vst and davinci resolve add on as well. I use that thing so much in video work.

Nice seeing both of y'all in the video interacting
Absolutely gorgeous build, congratz Joe!
God Tier Build PC! Amazing stuff Paul! 😃
So happy for Joe! Such a nice rig

I'd print a plate for the 3-D card. And then cut up a nice piece of black cardboard for the air direction plate. Excellent build
Cardinal rule of modifications - if you didnt get hurt and it works then its perfect. Im all in with the modify as necessary to get it to work and maybe revisit it later to pretty it up, perhaps... one day...
2 things I would have done different, I'd have used a vertical mount for the GPU and CapCard. I think Lianli has one that holds multiple cards.
And also
I'd have just made all the side panel fans as exhaust.
That being said I love it. Sick build.
just swap the gpu and capture card. pcie3.0 bandwidth will be fine for the gpu, and the ports are all in the first slot position.
I have a very low "janky" threshold. Rube Goldberging stuff doesn't make me happy. However, if it's your rig and you don't care, or, it even makes you happier to do it that way, than, go for it.
Looks great, looking forward to seeing performance/benchmarks. Happy Christmas Paul, Joe and to you all out there, have a fab time 🙃🖖
Case: has 3 glass panels
Every build on UA-cam: NAH, I'm not gonna show that!
Nice build Joe. Very nice.
I would recommend also some kind of divider between the top fan and the other two fans on the back side, but on the inside, because that will reduce the air flow from the intake fans going straight to exhaust. Looks awesome otherwise though!
For the back of the fan mount use a lil blu tac to hold it down on the rear.
the explosion @13:09 got me...I was not prepared
This build is phenomenal. I really love the dual top exhaust fans. Congrats Joe!
me too!
Congratulations Joe. Merry Christmas to you Joe and you too Paul
I loved watching you gents build the PC together! Well done on the build! Please do more videos together.

I can't say much about jank methods to help functionality. I'm using fishing line to hold up one of the tube runs in my build because the sag was entirely tilting.

In the follow up video, benchmark both Joe's old PC and this one side by side.
Hope the setup goes well!
You will most likely need a dividing piece on both sides of the fans. Otherwise you may lose too mush fresh air that is needed to keep everything cooler during heavy loads.
Congrats Joe, having Paul do the final hookup of the cables and stuff was pretty smart! I'm jealous 🤔
Congrats on the new build Joe! Well deserved.
And kudos Paul for hooking your bro up.
I love zip ties. They solve so many issues, and not just in regards to tech. One of mankind's greatest inventions.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
If you're not doing push/pull, why not put the radiator behind the bracket so the fans would be flush? I do notice the tubes are pretty strained though.
For every unique problem, Paul has a creative solution. Fan solutions was pretty interesting.
The idea of making a channel way for the air on the top fan would be a good idea. May be even block it from the bottom and the sides to stop it from ejecting it back more into the back of the case.
I'm laughing my ass off at the trials and tribulations of this build... because I just went through the same nightmares finishing off my own build. One suggestion for that bottom rad/fan tray: get some 3M double sided tape. The black foam stuff. A little piece under each tab will keep it still and serve as some vibration damping.
You could use a Dremel to cut an opening for that back panel and capture card.
Adapt, react, re adapt, ACT. Zip ties are excellent
Paul, it is always more advantageous to create at least slightly negative pressure in the case (less pressure = less heat) if possible and always exhaust the heat directly out of the case when possible, so you are not adding heat into the case...specifically the video card liquid cooling rad in this case should definitely be exhausting the heat out.

Besides, if you're working with thin stamped sheet metal parts, things don't always fit, especially when they're upside down.
11:40 Bad idea. Rule of thumb is 1 more intake fan than you have exhaust. You have 5 intakes and 2 exhaust.
Only issue I seen is the tubes for the gpu aio is that it going to rub against the bottom case fans and cause them to leak over time.
You could have put the gpu on the top slot and the radiator on the back(where the rear fan is mounted) by sliding down the motherboard and put a aio cooler vertically besides the motherboard for the cpu i think that would look cleaner and good too.
What do you think????
Question. Why is the SSD add in card in the slot traditionally used for the GPU? It can't be because it needs the full 16 lanes of pcie. Threadripper doesn't have the same pcie limitations as most other systems.
This is getting to dawid levels of jankyness with the capture card. Love it.
Paul, I was under the impression that peeling the side panel's plastic (14:05) with the panel installed and the pc running is a real risky play because of the static electricity that builds up during peeling.
The jank in this build is so strong and I love it.
for the fan exhaust blocker you might be able to use the Noctua Fan Duct Kit
I absolutely❤❤ it!! Paul and Joe, it works for you and that is what matters. Not to mention, Kyle would love it guys
If you need more exhaust the back does hold 2 fans in that configuration.
That case has a removable back piece, which is neat. Does it have a expansion card replacement piece for that open area?
I would swap out the M.2 expansion board with one that does not have to be in the top slot. For the capture card as is. I would have drilled some holes for the screws on the bottom plate instead of the zip ties or some double-sided tape for the bottom fans.
For the back, I would say time to get a 3d printer because I really hate the stress that those PCI-e extensions will be under when plugging and unplugging the cables. Maybe Two HDMI extension cables that you just leave plugged in and then plug in the devices you want to those.
Just a thought, when the GPU rad is mounted, would it not stop the sag and in turn leaving enough clearance for the capture card?
I hope that all the SSD's are found by the motherboard and are working. I've seen mixed results with TR and NVME cards, mostly compatibility and stability problems.
Congrats Joe thats a beastly rig
Interesting build and workarounds ! Merry Christmas !
will the vertical gpu bracket kit work. you need 2 pcie cables, the gpu will be on the farthest out and the capture card on the inside. the cables on gpu should be longer and route it above the capture card
Paul can you show us your must do system checks and must setup tips for a rig like this to get the most out of a system that can also apply to someone’s that isn’t quite at that range
For that capture card, I would have just wacked on some Kapton tape to cover the PCB and been done with it. Two layers if you were really woried about it shorting out. Nice build by the way :)
