PART 2 IS LIVE! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLKco6iUl6-xcp8.html

Swap 4090 and Elgato. The bottom slot is still PCIe 4.0 x16 and the 4090 is PCIe 4.0 as well. See Mainboard Manual, Page 5. The card will overhang the PCIe bracket slot area, but since I do not see an obstacle there (25:01), it should be possible to fasten it with one screw at the back. Should hold although it misses the second screw. The area now resting below the slots can exhaust through the mesh in the case there. Plugs for HDAudio, USB 2.0, SYS_FAN, RGB and the like could prove to be a problem though, because the graphics card might block them now. :( UPDATE: The newer BIOS versions for this board allow bifurcation on all PCIe slots, so this is a moot point now. Just add the cards wherever they fit. :)

I can't wait for part 2! It's fun watching you and Joe work together on a build.

Joe, thanks for being awesome to Paul and us! ❤ Well deserved

I believe once you update the BIOS, you should be able to have the GPU in the top slot and the quad M.2 in the middle. Early BIOS only supported bifurcation on the top slot but according to Level1Techs, that was rectified in later BIOS releases.

Joe deserves every bit of this rig. Thanks for the great videos Joe! Este Vato!

Since the case has plenty of room due to lack of radiators, I think it might be best to vertically mount the GPU in the front of the case and then use the bottom PCIe slot for the capture card. At least I think that's what I would try :)

On ya Joe. You are the friend that everyone would be very lucky to have.

Regarding the PCIe slot clearance isues: As already mentioned, option one would be to use Lian Li's upgright GPU kit to mount the card over the fan tray at the front. This would also a) bypass the potential clearance issues with the tubes that you touched on, or b) use an aircooled GPU after all. Alternatively you could consider swapping the SSD AIC to a card with its own PLX-Chip to do the bifurcation itself without the need for support on the motherboard side. I think those can get pretty expensive and often only go to gen 3 speeds though...

Gorgeous case, a beast of a build!

Pail I have been watching you for about 6 years now. Really enjoy all your videos. You did Joe a real solid here. NIce work guys

Great video part 1. Love the back and forth banter between you two

Awesomesauce video as always guys. I was voting for one epic long video. But actually watching it in 2 parts, makes me appreciate the time it takes to build Joe's new editing rig. My concern so far is the airflow on the CPU cooler. The M.2 adapter card blocks almost half the suction fan. I imagine by now we would know if it has had any issue in cooling. It's cool watching Joe put together his latest editing rig. And knowing how he separates the drives, like i try to do. Caffeinator out!

Put some capton tape on the 4090 where the capture card comes in contact with it and call it good, it’s durable, very resistant to heat and electrically insulating.

My dad's company is looking to upgrade their server for hardware simulation. He got a quote from Dell for a new one for 9k, but it has dual intel cpus both at 16 cores. I suggested he build one of these for half the cost, and he's told me (minus the gpu and crazy storage) to build this exact computer! Pretty cool opportunity.

Hard to build to 10K without going TR! Can't wait.

For the pcie cards, i would replace the Aorus card with a HighPoint NVME RAID card. More expensive, but shows up as a single drive, uses all 16 lanes, and is even bootable. Then you could put the gpu in the top slot, NVME RAID in the second, and capture in the bottom with no issue.

Always good to see Paul and Joe working together on camera.

32T WOW! This is a monster Build for editing! Cool build!

What a beast of a machine, it’s going to stomp whatever task you throw at it! I definitely would have just removed the capture card & figure it out later! Congrats Joe!

Hi Paul. That's one fantastic employee Christmas Bonus. Say, that desk pad looks similar to the one I found in my Christmas stocking. My wife needed to remember where she bought it.

I would just put a large thermal pad sheet between the 2 and call it a day. Great build so far.

the build looks great, cograts joe

Heck with this computer build. We want to see Joe's deleted scenes!

19:55 LMAO HAhahahahahha freaking PAUL

One idea I had about the capture card issue was one of those Z shaped x16 offset adapters. The bottom part plugs into the board slot moving the connecter down a slot on the case giving you space away from the GPU. Or get 2 90 degree adapters to make your own offset. Or a different mobo that works better with the parts you have lol

I think Joe is a top man he always stands by Paul when he down and when he on his ups

Paul, for what it's worth the workaround for the network issue doesn't work anymore for Win 11. Just built a PC with an MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Wifi motherboard and there was absolutely no way to get past the Windows 11 setup screen that requires a network. The keyboard, which worked the entire time, didn't work on that page to do Shift F10 to open the command prompt to enter the keywords to bypass the screen. Wifi didn't work. LAN didn't work. Even tethering to my phone didn't work. Microsoft was absolutely no help, as expected. The only thing that saved me was seeing deep within a sub-Reddit that a USB Wifi dongle worked. That's what saved me but it was 4 days of hair pulling. Once installed I downloaded the updated drivers for the motherboard and all is good. So, not sure if Microsoft is hip to the workaround of the network issue or what but just a heads up. That was my experience.

Thanks for doing this video you two, building one right now in a ThermalTake CTE750, still waiting on some parts. will be watching Pt 2 after this

For the GPU, just use some Kapton Tape Nice build!

You are correct, The allen wrench tip is a ball socket. Awesome P.C. :)

I have been waiting for this build 🎉

I get that bug in my brain with everything!!! Not that it will happen, but does Joe get this if he leaves??? HAHA Best is the creativity to figure out how to troubleshoot the little things that most do not consider!

GOOD LUCK with that Enermax PSU. GOOD LUCK!!! - I hope you have insurance.

Insulation shielding sheet on the back of the capture card.

Joe has been marinated for soo long in this channel and therefore he deserves a PC.

Look.... I got to build my first PC this year, and I made a monster. Honestly, I made the decision to go with a 4080 over a 4090 for electricity costs through the year, and thought that that was the only compromise that could've made the build better. Boy, was I wrong.

What would *I* do in that situation? I think I'd be sweating so profusely that I'd faint trying to slot anything in. (I've never built a PC yet but I am moving, slowly towards getting all the parts. A build like this, to me, is so far beyond. It's nice to live vicariously through you guys to see what it's like. Okay, gonna go watch Part 2 now!

Sheesh! That cooler tower is HUGE!!! I think it's actually larger than my dachshund's head!

32TB of sahlid Gen4 NVMe SSDs is wicked! It’s awesome to know Paul sets up Joe with sweet hardware to unleash his creativity 🤓

Just put insulating tape on the back of the capture card., and shift the mounting screws slightly. I'd put the AIO toward the top, with another intake below, and an exhaust out the back.

I'd just use electrical tape on the back of the capture card to prevent shorts. Alex did a similar fix for the PC vs Mac Pro video on the LTT Channel.

32 TERRABYTES!!! Great Scott

Any comments or updates, after the angled adapter recall, regarding 4090s and the 12 VH power? Or does that just solidify your view of wanting to make sure you can go direct cable from PSU to GPU?

The black Noctua fans can totally be RGB, just do one corner red, another green, and a third one blue. I guess the 4th can be white to make it RGBW.

I'd go with the easy route with the capture card, just put some tape on it so the hardware on top can't shortfuse.

@Paul, disconnect the tower power and reset switch from the motherboard. Then use a connect/disconnect a jumper on the power motherboard pins. I have seen a bad tower power switch fail and a stuck reset switch prevent a motherboard from powering up.

That will be a beast! Don't forget to insure it.

My OCD got triggered when the main processor chip was put into the motherboard. Even though you will never see the processor, it would be upside down when the motherboard is installed into the case. Congrats on your new system.

I have a soundblaster z right below my msi geforce 970 with a normal cooler. Actually it is blocking one of the two fans on the gpu. I’ve had this configuration for like around six years, and everything has been fine. Don’t worry too much about the capture card, it will be fine, especially with the blower style cooler on the card!

From what you are doing it Already shows the the Vision is not the case for top Exhaust and you need the Evo. LOL Paul's mod mat Add the 4k capture card and wedge a thermal pad between and add 2 fans to the bottom/ RGB.

Damn thats a serious ass build.. Kickass video.. Keep em coming plz.

I finished my 2nd PC build last January. I have $5,895.00 invested in this Intel system. Parts list: Segotep Pheonix T-1 E-ATX case; Seasonic Prime 80+ Platinum 1,300 watt PSU; Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master MB; Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900k CPU; Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX-3090 Xtreme GPU; 128 GIG kit of G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR-5 6400Mhz RAM; 3-Samsung 980Pro 2TB M.2 Nvme SSDs(1 for programs, 1 for files, 1 for system backup); Corsair H150i 360mm radiator AIO cooler; 3-Corsair ML-140 RGB Elite case fans; Acer Predator X38 38" curved monitor; Samsung SE-S184 external DVD burner; Logitech MK875 wireless keyboard and mouse; Windows 11Pro OS. At 66 years old, I am pretty proud of this build project. Can't really justify the money spent, but it sure was fun to build.

with the capture card you might be able to 3d print a top cover for it to give some protection

That is so awesome

I had a bit of an issue in the Fractal Define 7 with the bottom slot where the modules would catch on the case when inserting (Giggidy) them into my X520 NIC, so I just used a riser cable and slotted it vertically and that resolved my problem. This solution for that Lian Li case would mean either getting a new case or dremel time.

for your clearance problem, I would put the GPU in slot 1, and the ssds and capture card in slot 2 and 3 🤷‍♂

looks good . maybe someday i can build the same specs❤ cant wait for part 2

Torques number 1 last, nice job!!

I figured he would raid 0 everything but the boot/program drive. Just so you have massive bandwidth for working with the files. I'm also surprised that the heatsink is so narrow.

See if Lian Li has a side GPU mount for that case and use a PCIE Riser card for the graphic card or capture card. If that doesn't work, maybe teflon tape the back of that capture card to prevent any shorts.

Awesoome build happy for joe

Great video guys!! Paul you are awesome,.....What a great Boss you are...love you!!!

Paul ... The first expansion card was an NVME card . You will notice that it is thinner than the GPU ... much like the capture card . Glad you had some competent help while sipping on your ale . LoL !!

As a car guy with plenty of engine rebuilds under my belt I think that little torque wrench was pretty cool 🔧💯

Slide a thin sheet of cardboard between the card cut to size, it will work and less time to do.

I would use a pcie risercable and drimmel port acces below in the case where the went holes are

Join the Dark Side, it has 'UNLIMITED POWER' for your PC!!!!! 🤣 Great build as always Paul! 👍

Beautiful Editing Rig !!!

Joes smile when paul says he goes too far. Lol

This pc will be insane.

an Extension With a Very Short Riser Cable and Drill Through Back wall and Install Two Stand off`s , ( thats what i would do for Capture Card ) hope this helps , yes instead off being Mounted to Bottom facing Up = make it face Out by mounting to back wall , s ame as motherboard wall , looks to be just enough to fit a thin pcb short riser mount , idk measure it and keep that in mind while looking for sizable Options .

Lol...love you Joe!! Could you use a GPU Riser for that capture card, or am I being dumb?

Merry Christmas Paul & Joe

I want Joe's job. At work, our IT department was really excited to upgrade our office pcs to 8g ram this year. 😢

use the Vertical GPU bracket for the O11D XL to solve your cards issue

vertial mount the card using a gpu riser cable or use the rizer on the gup to raise it by one slot

see if you can throw that gpu AIO onto the exhaust spot in the back

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.

Insane SSD space! I need that for a NAS haha

18:47 people like Harlequin Volkswagens, so the pieces of flair for the fans are no big deal

"we're in our 40s a little sag is ok" lol

if the 4090 was in the top slot and the thin other cards were in the bottom two it would fit just fine

I wouldn't put an Enermax PSU or a brand like Montech in a $10,000 build I would probably go with Seasonic as my first choice and at least 10 other brands before I went with Enermax lol. I also probably would have went with the 011 dynamic evo XL or Phanteks NV7 or like the H9 Flow for more radiator support lol. But that's the beautiful thing about hardware it's all subjective.

Joe doesn't deserve it. Raffle it! Raffle it I command you! Also sweet build and like the new set. Happy Holidays to you and your family Paul.

SO MUCH SPACE GOODNESS

Electrical tape would be my go to, but you could use resin of some type as well. Not really high voltage so it just needs to be insulated..

9:27 OS on a RAID1, data and applications on a RAID0. You have enough drives to make 4 stripes at 14Gbps each. RAID0 is volatile and no RAID configuration is a backup.

I still remember the epic Newegg build you did with a few others years ago….Thermaltake Level 10, Intel Extreme Edition CPU, 2x HD5870…was trying to find it the other day but had no luck.

Ah yes, the infamous "Memes" drive...

Id just cover the back of the capture card with some kapton tape or low profile thermal padding and call it a day. Gpu thermals should be under control with that aio and i would not worry about the card getting too much heat from it, if thats giving you pause.

first all dont use AIOs when you go for watercooling. Secondly never ever buy a cpu block with a pump inside. Pump should run seperatly. I have a system which runs since 2 years without problem and prior system did run 5 years before I exchanged it. Maintenance as with fan setups is important as well

Pro Tipp: always do a test boot, before installing into the case

Joe should put the colorful corners on anyway!!

W Joe! Joe is a good friend!

Wow it's up so quickly after the poll closed, amazing!

I was like: no chance joe gonna use all that drive space. Bro did he proof me wrong seconds later xD

Love your channel!

Swapping the video card and M.2 card would give you one slot spacing between each. Still have plenty of SSDs attached directly to the motherboard that you don't need to give them the top PCIe slot too.

vertical mount the capture card or the gpu... case manufacturers are going to have to do something about this issue
