I don't need a guide on how to build a PC but I watched this from start to finish, just for the shear quality of the content. Optimum Tech has to be the only channel I can just sit back, chill and watch without ever hitting the 5 sec skip. I love this channel so much!
Optimum tech are perfect for beginners and non nerds but channels like gamer nexus or even linus is more reccomended for nerds since in other ppl videos, almost everything is explained with much detail.
That GPU release button is probably the best motherboard upgrade in a decade! When you have huge CPU air cooler, add just as large GPU and install some m.2 below GPU it's basically impossible to reach the PCIE release lever from any side. Except with a very long screwdriver between the CPU and GPU from the top, but also depends on the GPU backplate and then there is the risk of the screwdriver slipping and hitting your expensive MB. Finally someone from manufacturers has addressed that stupid thing.
4:42-6:31 - Installing the CPU. Thank you for making this. Although I've installed CPU dozens of times, I still enjoy watching every thing you explained in the footage. The true passion always inspire others and makes you videos appreciated
Thanks for the guide I pretty much built this computer except I used a 12700k and a 3090 ti suprim X with an Msi z690 mpg gaming edge Wi-Fi ddr4. Dragon center was grate. I got all my drivers and bios update super easy using it.
I had the same build. Just and advice, yes it’s big for 14mm and it will block your cover. So what I did was I bought a 12mm nocturna and solved the problem. And my 14mm fan was extra so I put on top to draw extra hit out
Another amazing video from Optimum Tech. Didn’t even need to watch it but I did just because of the quality content that he is putting out there, the time and effort put into this, and how well he explains this for the newbies. Just a couple notes that weren’t thoroughly explained in this video for the newbies: 1. Make sure you have the I/O shield ready to go over your motherboards I/O when you are installing your motherboard. 2. M.2 drives do go in at an angle, they don’t just sit completely flat when you slot them, you have to angle it in and then push the opposite side of it down flush with the screw mount. 3. Also look into fan orientation. These fans point in specific directions for flow of air so you want to make sure you have them oriented correctly to optimize airflow in and out of your case.
This is the best all black NZXT build I've seen in a while. I'm selling off all my white parts to build something like this lol. White builds were cool at first but I kinda got tired of it and realized I never truly liked how it looked in reality, just in the videos and photos. Black builds still the way to go for me!
37:55 most MSI mobos allow you to set PCIE temp sensor for the fans. Someone already commented down here but the 120mm top fan would fit in the heatsink. nice build.
Yup! You can even set up a custom fan curve which im a huge fan of! Pretty sad if you can't do that on a 500$ asus mobo. Both my b450 aorus and my b550 gaming edge wifi let me set up custom fan curves and they both let me choose the sensor that id like.
Top tip. Don't buy an NZXT 510 of any type if you are using high end gear. They are great looking and well built cases, but they just are not good enough or big enough for high end cooling. If you want NZXT, look at 7000 series - however there are numerous way better cases (Lian Li alone have 3 much better models for the same or less money) on the market.
I love this video! Haven’t built PCs in a while. I learned that installing the CPU cables onto the motherboard first then installing the motherboard into the case was the easiest. Depending on the space of the case.
38:00 To be fair, you can do this without a fan controller. You can set fan speeds off the mobo to run in line with the PCIE sensor. No idea if that exists on every mobo, but my Aorus board has a PCIEX16 temp sensor and I use it to mark when my front intake fans ramp up to supply more fresh air under gaming load.
@@falconloverxxx7182 I think his big point is you can't really use the actual gpu temperature, but that really doesn't matter when there is a sensor for the PCIE slot. You could even use the sensors for System1/2. Personally, when my PCEIX16 sensor reads 40C, the fans ramp up to bring more fresh air in, as only exorbitant amounts of heat through the gpu will bring that temp up.
20:20 Oh wow I never paid attention to that. Can you make a video on fan controllers and RGB lights specifically? How to connect them hardware wise, and then how to correctly control them on the software side? This is such and underrated topic!
I have this case with a Kraken x62 mounted in the front and a Red Devil 6900xt which is roughly 330mm long, most cards will fit with an AIO front mounted. Installing the card was... Playing Tetris while riding a rollercoaster but its doable. The Suprim X 3080ti is 336mm long and might actually be one of the few that wont fit with an AIO. This build looks amazing and honestly I will probably go the no RBG route next time I build, extremely tired of cable managing full RBG systems.
This a great show for the First PC Builder , 1 more thing need to notice is , fans have direction , in / out face need to check before install , mostly fan will have a NARROW mark on ! Also measure the GPU LONG with the CASE ROOM .
Great vid! I did like the longer format. You've done a few "how to build a PC" videos, but none as in-depth as this. I've built numerous PCs and still enjoyed the content!
For tower coolers when using tall RAM I recommend the Scythe Fuma 2 Rev.B dual tower or the Thermalright Assassin King 120 Black single tower cooler Both coolers perform remarkably well. Otherwise use LP RAM modules with the Noctua beast.
@@92kosta Yeah I bet they do.. Probably best go with a 360mm AIO for 12900K.. Custom liquid is expensive and AIOs have shorter life than tower coolers. Always tradeoffs !
30:53 be careful that you aren't using that adapter that ships with noctua coolers that slows down the fans (for noise reasons I guess). That's especially important since you're only using one fan on the cpu cooler.
can you elaborate on that adapter? i got a similar setup and use 1 of the fans too currently... the other i actually routed to the be a front intake from the same splitter...
@@yukisnoww read the directions that came with your noctua. Most of them come with a "low noise" adapter or something along those lines. It just makes the fans run slower than they otherwise would. So if instructions say it's a "low noise" or "low voltage" or something along those lines adapter, don't use it unless that's what you actually want.
There are software options to control fan speeds off GPU (or other) temp readings from MoBo headers. I personally use Argus Monitor which works fantastic and I am very happy with.
i picked up the exact same Z690 and 12900K about a couple weeks ago. Nice mobo with good features at a decent price point but boy that VRM heat sink is a biggins.
As always, nicely done. I'm glad you cleared up the AMD option at the start. That 5800x3D looks freaking amazing for games at a lower TDP so cooler and quieter builds. This air cooled option looks great though the RAM height is an issue. Perhaps LPX RAM would be make it possible to mount that 2nd fan. G-Skill Ripjaws S5 look sleek and would suit the build.
Didn't even know about the S5 till you said it. I bought the normal Ripjaws together with a NH-D15 a month ago. Luckily my case is big enough to offset the fan... But if I had known...
@@Jfat69 They’re fairly new to market and not a big fanfare either. In fact I haven’t seen any YT channel cover them. Good job you have the extra headroom 🙂
The 5800X3D is just 5800X with just stacked of memory cache being glued together. Plus, Evil Su decided not to add 3D on the Zen++++ on the first go, and you will have to wait a year later for a 3D version of it.
I would love to see a pc build with max performance for content creation, especially for 3d with softwares like blender, c4d and houdini for example! Amazing video too!
I would prefer to put NF-A12 from top to front of the NH-D15 and put NF-A14/A15 on top. You'll need to get balance in airflow with all these fans, but with external fan controller and all existing motherboard fan headers there are enought channels to do this. Also, do not know why it is so important to go with external fan controller if we have Argus Monitor which can control fans based on GPU temps. Overall this is great build and pretty simple video for instruction.
The CPU tension is real. My first build was with a 12th gen, and I was so worried I was going to damage it because of how much pressure I had to use to put that lever down. I even heard a bit of a crack/crunch, you could barely hear it though. That was about 8 months ago, and it's been working perfectly fine so far, so it should be ok.
I want to be build a PC at some point and i have been looking at air cooling. I dont plan on building such a powerful PC as this but I’m glad to know you can air cool and still have good results
Thoroughly enjoyed the step by step guide./ Would have like more details on how to connect the fans to the correct cables. 1st time PC builder here. Ran into an issue with the Artic fans (3 pieces). Only 1 of them functions/ Very frustrating
In 20 years: Hey guys it is time to build a new PC; Now keep in mind we will need our portable Thorium reactor at the ready to get the most out of this top-end configuration. So, ready? Let's get started... 😅
@@N0N0111 Necessity is the mother of invention, or so they say, and given the rate of GPU & CPU power requirements progression, they just might "catch on".
hard to find a creator with a mindset so much like mine. love watching your videos as they focus on actual important things and that amazing camera work
At 20:00 , you can actually use open source software called "Fan Control" to control your fans with all kinds of parameters, you could even make a fancurve based on SSD temps, all just using standard motherboard headers. Jayz2Cents also made a video about this. Also personally, I would use a large case, preferable not choked NZXT cases, but rather the more open (and larger with this kind of hardware) kinds of cases if you want to avoid a sauna, lower boost and higher noise/temps.
Beautiful build! The NZXT h510 has a specific hole for the CPU power cables on the bottom grid. Also you could fit the second fan of the cooler with a low profile RAM like Corsair LPX and sanding the fan a little bit
He couldn't have used the lpx because they are ddr4 memories but maybe the new corsair vengeance ddr5 kit if it fits. Because I think it is a low kit memory
I'm personally always deshrouding my GPUs nowadays and replacing the stock fans with Arctic or Noctua ones. Board partners are doing a terrible job with noise performance, my 3080 sounded like a jet engine before, now it's barely audible.
love the video, i am just watching this for fun as I only just bought and assembled my first ever build, but I went for an H510 elite rather than flow, I just love the double tempered glass look and the airflow is still more than adequate because my system is not super power hungy, even when playing valorant at 550 fps
You could get GPU fan adapter from CRJ and connect front fans wihout using controller hub or any software My MSI 3080 Seahawk tops at 50C under 350W load and fans spin 1000 RPM. And my 5600x is air cooled. I'm waiting for phanteks T-30 to make that even better. Also NZXT H510 Flow black
A sample more sensible build: Intel: CPU: i5-12400 Cooler: ID Cooling 214 XT Motherboard: MSI Pro B660M-A DDR4 or similar value B660 motherboards RAM: 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 Storage: SN570/MP34 GPU: RX 6600 XT or RTX 3060 Case: Phanteks Eclipse G360A (much better airflow and stock fans than H510 Flow) or Lian Li 205 Mesh Power Supply: 650 W EVGA G5/Corsair RM/RMx/MSI AGF/Enermax Revolution DF/Super Flower Leadex III AMD: Replace CPU with Ryzen 5 5600/5600X (whichever is cheaper) Replace motherboard with MSI B550M Pro-VDH or similar Replace RAM with DDR4-3600 CL16 (Ryzen loves fast RAM)
Note with the Mainboard, that M.2_1 is the PCIe 5 slot and takes 8 lanes from PEG (PCIe_1) when used the primary M.2 should be the one at the bottom (the left one, there are two, the right, short one is from the PCH) and the expanison M.2 Card should go in the bottom x16 since it is wired x4+x4, the middle one is x4 wired only and only one M.2 would work
@@jrkob1156 Seems the has skipped the MB manual (I mean, not important besides that) for lane distribution. the only other thing it is good fpr is the POST Code table in the appendix (which one he also did not mention, what actually is the biggest advantage of the -E over the -F in my opinion)

@@ARSR yea.. so intel 12th gen still supports ddr4. Also DDR5 isn't worth it yet with latency high
@@mcknightujc yeah but this motherboard doesn't support ddr4. And that is also true that ddr5 is not worth it at the moment
well presented and informative. Making me want to build an upgraded rig for myself.
This is what motivated me to upgrade my prebuilt. Just bought this case, a b550m steel legend mobo, a 5600x cpu and I plan on getting a 3070
I'm personally always deshrouding my GPUs nowadays and replacing the stock fans with Arctic or Noctua ones. Board partners are doing a terrible job with noise performance, my 3080 sounded like a jet engine before, now it's barely audible.
love the video, i am just watching this for fun as I only just bought and assembled my first ever build, but I went for an H510 elite rather than flow, I just love the double tempered glass look and the airflow is still more than adequate because my system is not super power hungy, even when playing valorant at 550 fps
It's so clean! Hope you build more PCs like that I would like to follow you builds when I make another. Kudos Ali!
Always love what you upload, Ali. Always looking forward to seeing you in my notifications.
Everything looks great expect for the case, I would've prefered one of these cases Fractal Design Meshify 2, Torrent or Torrent Compact.
You could get GPU fan adapter from CRJ and connect front fans wihout using controller hub or any software
My MSI 3080 Seahawk tops at 50C under 350W load and fans spin 1000 RPM. And my 5600x is air cooled.
I'm waiting for phanteks T-30 to make that even better. Also NZXT H510 Flow black
A sample more sensible build:
Intel:
CPU: i5-12400
Cooler: ID Cooling 214 XT
Motherboard: MSI Pro B660M-A DDR4 or similar value B660 motherboards
RAM: 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16
Storage: SN570/MP34
GPU: RX 6600 XT or RTX 3060
Case: Phanteks Eclipse G360A (much better airflow and stock fans than H510 Flow) or Lian Li 205 Mesh
Power Supply: 650 W EVGA G5/Corsair RM/RMx/MSI AGF/Enermax Revolution DF/Super Flower Leadex III
AMD:
Replace CPU with Ryzen 5 5600/5600X (whichever is cheaper)
Replace motherboard with MSI B550M Pro-VDH or similar
Replace RAM with DDR4-3600 CL16 (Ryzen loves fast RAM)
Note with the Mainboard, that M.2_1 is the PCIe 5 slot and takes 8 lanes from PEG (PCIe_1) when used
the primary M.2 should be the one at the bottom (the left one, there are two, the right, short one is from the PCH)
and the expanison M.2 Card should go in the bottom x16 since it is wired x4+x4, the middle one is x4 wired only and only one M.2 would work
@@jrkob1156 Seems the has skipped the MB manual (I mean, not important besides that) for lane distribution.
the only other thing it is good fpr is the POST Code table in the appendix (which one he also did not mention, what actually is the biggest advantage of the -E over the -F in my opinion)
And not to forget, the M.2_1 Heatpipe is because of Gen5 drives and expected higher thermal output
