everything is hooked up and if we look over that way
we are on the home screen so let's see we'll just hit this uh random
button and see what happens
oh Welcome to mikegolden Games and welcome to another computer
update video so i decided to get a new CPU cooler
so i was going to get a Corsair originally on Amazon
but the RGB version of that was out of stock
so i went to a local shop Fry's Electronics and they had this in stock
it's full RGB it's the 360 mm you know
radiator so let's crack this box open and check
it out so with the parts out of the box we got
that right there and we do want some new thermal paste
of course we're going with Arctic Silver so let's see we got the radiator here
which we're gonna need to lift out so let's see let's lift this
up
basically we need to put the new fans on the radiator
so that is that we'll just set that there the other fans here again these
are all rgb
so let's see these should be unhooked there we go
then we got let's see this is to control the rgb lights
uh we will hook that up in a little bit
mounting plates for the cpu itself
and some more brackets and whatnot so first thing we're going to do is just
get the fans mounted to the radiator which actually we should
have screws in one of these all right so we got the
fans on the radiator with these screws that
were provided in the kit so now i need to remove the old
thermaltake aftermarket cooler that i have here been
using that for quite some time now and i guess i did install this corsair
fan it's a blue led fan uh maybe a few months back maybe it was
when i actually got the ram i don't quite remember but there's the
ram still working great uh so what i do need
to do is once we get the cooler out we're
gonna need to figure out how to mount it up here
i believe we just pop this part of the case right off and then we should be
able to mount it to the outside case there
so really quick all we did was pop these right out and then actually on this side
i had to take out two of the ram slots so i got them carefully set there
basically these literally just push in and out from this which gives us
the opportunity to get to the screw on either side to release the entire fan
now with the old fan removed there's the thermal paste again we just applied that
a few months back but since this wasn't seeming to cut it
anymore thank you microsoft flight simulator
2020. uh we are going to be installing the new cooler that is liquid cooled
so what we want to do now is just wipe that old
thermal paste off and unplug the old fan there
and then i gotta figure out where i need to plug all these new fans into
so now what i did was remove half of the side for the cooler and we got to go
around to the back of the case and there's half of it off we got to
remove the other side now just a few screws come loose as you can
see right there those two come out which then the bracket comes off and
then there's the little washer black caps right there those unscrew and you
gotta hold the back screw so it comes out
this is tightened down this one has been loosened
and if we come around to the back you can see this little screw is loose we
just got to take it off a little bit more
it'll come right out the back and this just holds on the clip
on the back this is the thermaltake one the old one we're going to be installing
the new uh right here the new intel one for the
new game ds with the old bracket off we've got the
new intel bracket right here and with these uh so
with my didn't quite fit so these actually do
adjust so you can uh it's hard to do with one hand
but you can well okay it doesn't want to adjust with one hand
but basically i just pulled it out one tab as you can see the first tab
right here that's where it was originally i just pulled it out to one
more tab and now if we
set this right there and the motherboard and it fits
just like that so once you got the back plate on you're going to screw
these pieces in uh right here this is going down against the motherboard
this will go up where the bracket will mount into
but basically you just want to get this onto there and i need two hands to do
that all right so once we get these things
screwed down there's actually another piece
that is like a socket here this is actually going to go on top of these to
make sure you have them bolted down tight enough so we'll just
just drop that right on there and let's grab our screwdriver
right here so switch hands zoom in and let's see like
that so let's just
make sure that decently tight you don't want to be too tight
so let's pop that and put the next one on
all right so with those tightened down we're going to take our
brackets there's two intel ones we're going with the bigger ones because this
is the intel 4790k processor which let's see if we
can see what it says there 4790k
a little hard to see there anyways so we need to get screws
that is basically going to go like this
to the water cooler so next thing i did i put the brackets on here
they go on top like that and then these screws go on the bottom plate
just like that okay so i just took out my blu-ray player because well for one
never really use it but there really wasn't enough room
for the water cooler so hopefully with that out of the way
we can squeeze this big radiator inside the case
and i thought this was a massive case eight hard drive bays
all right so i've never actually fully taken off the covers on the case
and these are some pretty big fans i never knew this is how it actually
looked like i said never took off the top before
but there we go got the usb slots and this fan is going to need to come out so
we can get to you know the mounting locations and then
hopefully maybe we'll be able to put this fan back
on just to get some more you know airflow
so now what i've realized is the radiator does not fit i may have
recorded this already but i've realized that the radiator does not
fit with my drive bay so what i've done is got a screwdriver
and i am just going to remove this bay and we should be able to get the fans to
fit perfectly really i haven't used my blu-ray drive
in literally probably two years and that was just to
test out a blu-ray movie that i bought other than that i have not used my cd
drive bay in years with you know steam the epic
game store all that you really don't need a cd
drive unless you just want one which is why you know i went out and
bought a blu-ray drive it's a burner and a reader but
literally i have not used it in forever with everything being online nowadays
you really don't need it all right so now i've got the radiator
mounted to the top of the case was able to get it to fit just there's
those two screws two screws uh we got one
screw there and one screw there so what i've done is
i've routed these wires through the back of the case
here which if we turn around we got them coming right through here
so now we need to attach these wires to the relay box
or the control box right here and basically we're just going to do
fan one two and three so now with these wires for the fans
hooked up to the fan box we now just take the sata cable and
we'll just find a open set of cable and plug that together now we're going to
take one of these power cables from the heatsink
and plug it right into the cpu fan cable right there or the outlet right
right there and then this one we're going to link
through the case into the back of the case into that power box
okay so let's take the arctic silver now so that should be enough in there
now we're going to remove this plastic cover
a little hard to do with one hand there we go and i'm going to have to set
this down i only have two hands so got to set the
camera down all right so we got it mounted down this
part was a little tricky just because these screws do have two
positions that they can go in and yeah as you can
see it's not quite in one or the other for the
positions so you kind of got to wiggle them in
there get them into place and kind of screw them down
lightly one at a time you know so tighten
a tiny bit this one go to the next one go to the next one before you fully
tighten everything down make sure you get them in you know
position so we got the one wire that's plugged into the cpu powered
right there and then we got the other one that's running from the cooler
going into the back of the case and we've got that running into
led one and then the other fans you know are plugged into
fan one two and three so you've got that like that and then i also
made it a little nicer give it a little slack and just ran the wires
up and above these fans to make it look a little nicer let's
take that off and hopefully i put that in right
so now that i've removed that film i can now see that this is on sideways
so we're going to need to take this off and just
turn it one degree clockwise counterclockwise
we just need to turn it a little bit counterclockwise everything is hooked
up and if we look over that way we are on the home screen so everything is
working i just need to get the remote in a second here uh i did
accidentally have this wire down one spot so we
actually want it up to the cpu fan i accidentally had it in the
cpu out if anybody was wondering from earlier in
the clip right there we go so you want it in cpu
fan which is the one above the one that we had it uh in earlier
so everything is hooked up let's see how the remote works
so let's see we'll just hit this uh random button and see what happens
oh okay looks pretty dope that's just gonna be circling different
colors see if we can get that focus a little
better that does look pretty sick so i hope you guys are enjoying
this let's go do the benchmarks now and make sure
the computer is running a lot cooler i really hope it is
and really quick with just solid blue set
that does look pretty sick because my case fans this one i bought the corsair
fan in the back there a few months back that's a solid blue
led and then the case fans in the front are also blue led so for now we'll just
run with the solid blue i know it's rgb i probably switch to it later but just
for the second to get this test done the blue looks really cool
