Hey Greg thanks for all your hard work this year making videos for subs like myself, really love the channel so wishing you, your beautiful family a great Christmas and new year from Scotland
Lucky guy haha I got my computer working but my old hard drive ISNT working and my parents told me they aren’t spending anymore money on it wish I could just get a job but that build is sick wish my was that cool haha
At first I was going to ask why you didn't install a contact frame on the cpu. Then I figured you are setting this up to be in another video when you fix the cpu overheating problem. Very smart!
@@GregSalazar there was hope, I love watching your fix or flop videos! And the way you completely explain stuff too. Keep up the great work and have a Merry Christmas!
Top tip, if your building a PC or someone else, during the windows install when it starts asking for you to enter a language, Press ctrl, shift and F3 together, the pc will then reboot into Audit mode. This will land you on the desktop using in the built in admin account without going through setup, you will notice a box that for sysprep just ignore this for now. In Audit mode you can install drivers and software, check the stability of the system using your favourite stress/burnin software, test any UEFI changes you have made and activate windows. Once you are happy with the system, change the setting in sysprep to OOBE and shutdown, Windows will prep the system for Out of box experience and will shutdown, on the next boot will continue with setup like a spanking new prebuilt shop bought and you will look like a pro 😉.
Almost same system i built. Same motherboard with 13900kf, 2x G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB DDR5 6000MHz, ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 ARGB, Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 and a 2tb one. Also a 3080 ti with 1000w psu I did a bit of research what ports to put the NVMe M.2 drives in. I put them in m2_2 and m2_3 ports. The M2_1 port cuts graphics to 8x instead of the max 16x Great video. I need to up my memory timings as mines only running at 2000mhz currently
Yeah, thanks a lot to ASUS for making that incredibly stupid design choice with the PCIe lanes, just to support Gen5 NVMe. I know why they did it, and it's easy enough to just move the drives to the lower slots, but it's still stupid. And a lot of people with this board will never know they've hamstrung their GPU performance by installing their NVMe in what *would* be the correct slot on most other boards.
Thanks for the video! I recently purchased the Z790-E for the new build. Using my old Thermaltake Core case for the horizontal motherboard mount. Fair winds and following seas to all.
As someone with a 4000d and a 280mm AIO you made the right choice going for the 240. Even if you can get it in the top (Depends on Mobo and Ram) the clearances are so tight that it just doesn't look clean. I was forced to put mine in the front with tubes up (top of rad well above block though). Tubes down, even with the extra basement piece taken off the tubes didn't have space at the bottom.
How can we "learn" how to build a new computer if you edit everything out skip really important information where all the cables go with the fast forwarding loud music videos?
Greg entertaining as always… but just had to say funny that this is an Asus card using the 16-pin you had called proprietary to Nvidia back with their 30 series… hmmm 🤔 lol
Nice build. I may have missed the result, but you said you would consult the manual for the MB about M.2 installation. I think if you populate the top M.2 slot it cuts the graphics card slot to X8 from X16. I don't know what that does to graphics card performance. Something to consider. There is another M.2 slot that has direct lanes to the CPU. LOL, that is a lot of card for that case.
YUP! Ran into this problem myself. that top M.2 shares PCIE 5.0 with the GPU slot. I opted to toss my M.2 into the lower left slot, since that has direct lanes to the CPU, which still gets me my PCIE 4.0 speeds of 7000mb/s+ I didn't personally test the GPU at x8 VS x16, but i assume you lose quite a bit of performance. Figured it didn't matter if the M.2 was tossed in the PCIE4.0 slot, since it's rated for 4.0 speeds anyway, plus I wouldn't risk gimping the 3090 I was tossing in.
Can 100% confirm both your statements. Just went through the tedious struggle of moving my nvme from the top PCIE 5.0 slot to the one right below. Went from x8 to x16 right away. READ THOSE MANUALS AND DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
I’ve really liked binge watching your videos lately. I’ve been working in IT for about 12 years now, and always loved it. I have a i5-10500, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB NVME, and A2000 6 GB in my “rig” for work and casual gaming.
For anyone who uses internal WiFi antennae in their builds, where do you tend to stick them to avoid blocking signal with the metal of the case, and also to minimize the visibility of hanging wires? Finally, what's your preferred adhesion method and substance? Mine really performs, and I'd like to keep it that way, but the wires are really starting to bother me. I just don't know where I should put them so that they're out of the way, won't lose their functionality or performance, are safe, and won't require that I perform surgery on the machine to open it up for cleaning and / or parts swaps / upgrades.
A very nice build once again! Something that caught my eye; I saw you removed the top part of the CPU block on the AIO.. I have the 360mm version of that AIO, and I accidentally scraped my ring on the brushed aluminium part of it, and left quite a mark on it. I contacted be quiet! to see if I could get a replacement.. they told me that it wasn't removeable and so it couldn't be done. :( Merry Christmas, Greg.
@@GregSalazar I've had another look at this.. I have the Pure Loop 2 FX. That LED block does come loose like the one in your video, however, it cannot be fully removed as the LED's aren't fixed to the block, they are fixed to the cover, with a wire soldered on. That's probably the reason why Be Quiet said it couldn't be done. :(
I have had this pc for 3 years and haven't upgraded anything, and it's pre-built and no clue what components are even in the pc. I just think it would be cool if you could look at it and maybe upgrade it a little?
Truth. Especially since there is no RGB on the RAM, the tubes wouldn’t be covering anything special if flipped the AIO. Those tubes are cover that nice ASUS mobo RGB
That is a sexy PC 😍 Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a 4080 GPU, but for now my 3080 works great at 1440p. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year's Eve. Can't wait to see what you do in 2023...
@@GregSalazar I have a tech question!: When do you think NVidea will drop support for the GTX 960? That is all I have and I want at least a GTX 1650, but don't have money for one. So I want to know when I should expect a gpu upgrade. Thanks!
I'm running the same exact graphics card, however I got a PSU that came with a 12VHPWR cable. I'm currently waiting for CableMod to come out with the 12VHPWR Right Angle adapter.
Excellent video and well produced. Installing the two MB power cables before mounting the MB made it more manageable when I installed them. Given the size of the MB, same as yours, and my top-mounted 360 radiator in my Thermaltake C3 Commander case, there needs to be more room at the top left on the case. When I installed my RTX 4090, I placed the case on its side. This made the installation much more accessible. My future mods will include a larger ATX tower case and the yet-to-be-released 4TB SSDs I have pre-ordered. My feeling is to go big or go home. I'll be ready for future games, which I know game designers have on their drawing boards.
Greg I live near Orlando and it would be awesome to maybe get a chance to meet you and I need some help swapping my motherboard, i have no clue what to do. I also need to install a new aio
The high end is the best end ngl, I still classify in the high end with my 9900k and 3090 in a huge 7000d air flow case, yeah the low to mid is still pcmr but the high end is a fun club a small percentage get to enjoy

Did you ever realize that your 4080 is running in 8X PCIE cause you’re using top slot M.2 that was meant a for Gen5?

Sick build! And I second the Santa costume comment.
5:10 I was waiting for it. I knew he was gonna say it
Happy Holidays Greg n family and the friends of channel
hey greg love your videos and the info that i gain from them. came out here to orlando to visit family
I built 2 pc's in the 4000D and have to say they are trash will never go that cheap on a upper end pc.
Thanks for the video! I recently purchased the Z790-E for the new build. Using my old Thermaltake Core case for the horizontal motherboard mount.
Fair winds and following seas to all.
I just built this computer THIS WEEK (minus the 4080). 12900. DDR5. Haven't finished the video but I hope it works haha

I think you missed a peel just next to the USB C Header. Hopefully you catch it before I finish the end of the video. Fun to watch as always!

the quick and dirty style of video is great. wouldn't mind more of it !!
Thanks for the video and the parts list. My next build.
You missed a piece of peely plastic by the ram ports, idk if you find this later in the vid or not.
"Big Black Cables" had me dying. 🤣🤣
“What did you think I meant?” 🤨
Didnt know Z390 supported 12th and 13th gen
The cooling on the 4000 series GPUs is crazy, especially with them being butted up against case fan intake heh.
Thanks for all the cool content this year! Merry christmas!
PSA: this is not Greg, this is a scammer and bot, ignore and report him.
I have a 12900KF overclocked to 5.3ghz. My 240mm Ryujin ii cools it perfectly well. Undervolting a bit knocks off about 5° more.

enjoy ur content buddy i really like the pc building because i own a pc myself in the UK
Let's hope Greg also got Will some home insurance for when the 4080 catches fire :D joking... or am I 👀

Greg!! Be mindful of putting nvme drives in the top slot!
It makes the PCIE run at x8 instead of x16!
Also I think you missed a peel xD
Peel for the GPU unlock button.
Happy Holidays to you and your Family Greg!
I read all my manuals even manuals for guns when I buy one.
Yes.
My RX 6900 XT is 340mm. Fractal says the Meshify 2 Compact has 341mm of clearance with the front fans installed. Now that was a tight fit!
In metric system 1mm is tight, in imperial system they take 1 inch as thight 😀 but working with cnc machines even 1mm is a large gap.
I'm just happy to see I wasn't the only one who struggled with the 40 series Asus Tuf plastic peel lmao
Not gonna lie, I kinda like the wrench that is Will in Greg's well oiled machine! Enjoyed the video...wouldn't mind more of this.
That transition @12:52 did it for me! 😂Merry Christmas you guys, have a good one!
Glad you liked it😂

Yeah radiators up top always, I hate the idea of putting a radiator as intake.

Beautiful build, Greg! Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎅🎄
Merry christmas Greg and have a happy new year from UK based fan
Merry Xmas Greg, here's to next year you smashing out of the park again :)
Your support is very much appreciated! Merry Christmas!
That's a one beefy pc. Merry Christmas, Greg. 🎄
I did my build in that case. 5800X3D with a RX6750XT. It's super cool and quiet
Should've ran a corsair power supply and you'd of been able to get their cable for these new cards. Much cleaner than the stupid adapter.
I would flip the radiator to not block the RGB on the Mainboard-IO-Shield and use a Pure Loop FX instead, but damn, it's a nice beast.
Truth. Especially since there is no RGB on the RAM, the tubes wouldn’t be covering anything special if flipped the AIO. Those tubes are cover that nice ASUS mobo RGB
Good job !
Shoot , edit more like that. Changes things up sometimes...

This video was raw and great help for my new build 😮💨
I have a 4090 and it's absolutely massive but looking at this 4080, it looks like they're using the same coolers on them.
Waiting for the parts to get here for a 13900K/Surpim X 4090 build and surprised my wife with a new PS5 for Christmas. :)
1:06 Z390? Huh. Didn't know that was compatible with alder/raptor lake LOL
