Building My New
Gaming PC Rig #Helpful Post
hey
guys this is Austin and today we're
going
to be building myself a brand new
gaming
PC rig it has been quite a while
since
I've actually built a system
that's
going to be for my own personal
gaming
exploits and well it seems like a
good
excuse to do another PC build
tutorials
better hold my fort night
skills
Dave we've got some pretty
high-end
hardware and most of that is
thanks
to Intel we're also enough to
sponsor
this video so first of all we
have
the 32 gigabyte obtained module
we're
actually going to be doing
something
kind of cool with this a
little
bit later with our steam drive
but
we also have this the holy grail of
gaming
CPUs the core i7 8086 so what
separates
this from a standard core i7
is
what's still going to have that same
six
core design it's going to be clocked
even
higher the boost talked on this guy
is
5 gigahertz and that's out of the box
as
a k-series processor we can overclock
it
even farther
although
5 gigahertz is pretty fast for
the
case I'm using the NZXT H 700 I now
this
is a very large case it actually
does
support a ATX motherboards as I
almost
cut myself with a knife that
would
have been bad but one of the main
reasons
why I want to go with this is
because
this is my news build that I
actually
want to use for a while and I
want
to be able to have plenty of
expansion
and with my set up currently
as
is at home space really isn't an
issue
so it should be no problem to be
able
to fit this guy underneath the desk
before
we get too far into the build one
of
the first things I want to do is
start
swapping out some fans so this
case
actually does have quite a few it
has
three 120 millimeter fans up front
the
problem is is that well they're not
RGB
of course we need RGB the next up of
the
build is the motherboard so we are
using
the asustor primes these 370 a a
seuss
generally make some pretty solid
boards
in fact they make some of the
best
boards period and the top of that
we're
also trying to unify everything
around
or a sink weather will actually
get
everything on board is another story
but
this should do the job
one
of the nice things about going with
a
Z 374 like this is that we're going to
be
able to support not only our m2 SSD
we
can also take advantage of octane at
the
same time so we're going to be using
octane
and a little bit of a different
method
than usual typically speaking you
would
pair this with a standard
mechanical
hard drive you would run
Windows
absolutely everything on it and
the
advantage is that this is going to
give
you a much much faster response
time
on things that you're going to be
using
on a regular basis think about
like
window
your
main programs anything that the
system
sees that you're constantly using
it
will keep stored in the obtain cache
but
for this video we're actually gonna
be
taking advantage of this for a steam
library
inside this very plain box we
have
what is well a pretty plain looking
hard
drive but this my friends is
something
kind of special this is a full
14
terabyte Toshiba hard drive and not
only
is this basically the biggest hard
drive
that you can get your hands on
today
but this pair with octane means
that
we're going to have 14 terabytes of
some
very very fast storage if we really
want
to go crazy we could have picked up
14
terabytes worth of SSDs but well
that's
going to be ridiculous it's also
going
to be really expensive yeah yeah
that
14 terabyte hard drive isn't cheap
but
if $550 plus the cost of an octane
module
which is really reasonably priced
we're
going to be getting a lot of the
speed
but in a much much simpler and
much
less expensive package install a
top
10 memory is going to be very
straightforward
we just need to line it
up
and then if we use a single screw we
can
hold into place the only thing you
need
to keep in mind is whether or not
your
motherboard actually does support
obtain
memory what are you doing okay in
addition
to being useful when you're
building
your own PC octane is available
in
pre-built systems such as desktops
and
laptops some of which I've already
taken
a look at very recently for the
rest
of our system storage we're going
to
be using a samsung 970 pro SSD now
this
is not going to be strictly
necessary
technically we could run
everything
off of the 14 terabyte octane
setup
but well what's not to like about
a
little bit of extra overkill in our
lives
now comes the sad part cutting the
factory
seal on one of the very few 8086
--is
that are left in the wild so it's
going
to a good place very very gentle
with
this so with the 8086 on board it's
just
a matter of lining it up with our
processor
not using the super cool
assist
tool and we should be good to go
we
also have some memory by the way
Jason
and Karis so we've got 16 gigs of
G
skull sniper
X
which should give us plenty of speed
especially
considering that this is
actually
rated up to thirty four hundred
megahertz
progress so we have our
motherboard
inside the system we also do
have
our cooler so because we do have
such
a high end CPU we do you opt for a
240
millimeter all-in-one cooler
this
is going to be the courser h100 I
Pro
with extra RGB because Ken thought
RGB
would be a good idea for the system
on
top of that we also do have our 14
terabyte
hard drive installed it's going
to
be kind of tucked around back so it's
gonna
be right here but the important
thing
is that well you don't wanna look
at
that you want to look at the cool
stuff
like this the GTX 10 atti which
was
graciously donated for three days by
a
good friend of ours who shall not be
named
he wanted to be anonymous so this
is
the ROG Poseidon platinum edition of
the
Tenaya TTI now what's interesting
about
this car is actually has built-in
cooling
for not only water but also
liquid
so if you wait I just say water
and
liquid because this is a hybrid card
that
can be used with liquid or air
cooling
it should be pretty easy to
integrate
in the build with that we have
what
is basically the completed bill all
that's
left to do now is tie it at the
cable
management put the case back
together
and see if this actually is
going
to work my favorite part of any PC
build
after night of Windows updates and
cable
management the next step is to get
Intel
octane memory up and running so
the
first thing we need to do is make
sure
that everything is set up in the
BIOS
so then I do we have our 14
terabyte
drive showing up here but
importantly
we also have Intel Rapid
Storage
Technology turn on then you just
need
to install the Intel obtain utility
and
after a quick restart we are going
to
be able to see that natalie is our
obtain
module showing up but we also
have
our SATA drive which in this case
is
the 14 terabyte guy so now if I just
hit
enable this is so unnecessary they
did
not have to make the animation so
cool
so we now have an intel octane
volume
with 13,000 and 39 gigabytes
windows
just sees it as a single drive
which
is one of the advantages of octane
so
you don't need to do any kind of
switching
back and forth it's going to
be
able to do everything in the
background
so we just go ahead and
create
a new volume should be able to
yeah
just mount it there okay we are
formatted
so if I open up our drives
there
we go we've got our octane drive
which
looks like it's gonna be totally
fine
so
right now I'm just copying over a
single
steam game which is going to be
pop
G but when the advantages of having
14
terabytes for a steam drive is who
can
install like what like
seventy-five
75 gigabyte games that's
like
all the games and with that
Lightning
PC build is complete well
unless
you count J's graphics card which
I
should probably give him back but
luckily
for us there's going to be a new
graphics
card soon so maybe stay tuned
for
that and give me little bit of time
to
download 14 terabytes of games I get
to
a part two to this video right
