  • What's up, guys?

  • Just two cents here.

  • And we gotta prepare our test rig for some upgrades here.

  • And we're gonna this kind of a two birds, one stone video, one of the things I'm asked quite often.

  • It's like a J.

  • I got a new motherboard.

  • I got a new CPU.

  • Could I just throw that stuff in or do I have to reinstall windows?

  • Well, I'm gonna take that opportunity right now to show you I'm gonna throw some new hardware and I'm gonna show you what happens how to get windows back up and running.

  • We'll also taking you along for the ride of our test Rick upgrade and some of the reasons why we're doing that.

  • So hopefully today, you'll learn something.

  • Maybe I'll learn something.

  • It will all learn something.

  • We learned nothing.

  • Featuring the Intel 97 50 h six core processor, up to 64 gigabytes of memory and multiple GPU options.

  • Mag 15 laptop from the electronics is one of the lightest production and gave me notebooks on the market due to its magnesium lightweight chassis and 15.6 inch, 144 hearts.

  • I p s monitor the mag 15 weighs in at just £4 while the 94 wide Our battery provides hours of use on a single charge.

  • To see the full specs list of the mag 15 from electron ICS and to see their complete lineup of laptops and notebooks, click the sponsor leak in the description below.

  • So I'm just showing you hear that the fact that the system is up and running, we're at the desktop.

  • Obviously performance.

  • This is our 8700 K.

  • I talked recently in a video about why we choose the parts we choose.

  • Why I'm gonna be upgrading this to a 1999 100 k s because we want to make sure that as scraps cards get faster, new stuff potentially coming out next year that we don't want to introduce any bottlenecks with our CPU 8700 k at five gigs, although has been great, it is when we look at charging stuff.

  • Now we're seeing that there is a few percent to be gained in terms of like 20 t i.

  • Is that over clocked when it comes to performance, telling us that the CPU does indeed pose a slight bottleneck and before that becomes a problem moving forward.

  • I'd rather handle it now before we have the crunch of graphics cards coming potentially in 2020 and then having to deal with Oh, no, we got a greater test rate before we could do all these tests.

  • And I'm not speaking in any sort of insider knowledge that net something's new.

  • Something new is coming for 2020 with graphics cards.

  • It's just August 2018 is when the touring architecture launch from a video all of 2019.

  • They focused on their low range.

  • And so it's on Lee presumable that in 2020 a new high end card is gonna be coming.

  • I suspect April ish, if I had to make a guess, because they like to do stuff around.

  • GTX, GDX, R G C Game developers conference and Graphics technology conference, I think, is the DTC sent for whatever.

  • So everything's up and running here, so I just want to kind of show you that we are activated.

  • Doesn't say please activate windows.

  • That's the thing you might notice the most is if you change out your hardware and everything's up and running, it might make you reactivate windows It's pretty easy to get around that.

  • But anyway, we'll go and shut her down and start tearing her down.

  • Now the system that we have here, like I said, 8700 K running on a Maximus 10 formula, which is definitely overkill for a test.

  • Rick.

  • Very dusty, though, because it's an open air test bench.

  • But one of the reasons why we're also doing this, too, is we did this not too long ago, actually.

  • Well, we changed out these tubes because they're all died in nasty.

  • And actually, when we did the we did this video, we tested the 5700 x c liquid devil from power color.

  • This was in its own stand alone loop that we dyed purple.

  • We died this purple at the same time, depending on the calibration of your monitor and its color accuracy may or may not see that this is a very magenta color, very much more red than purple because it looks like all of the blue dye sort of collected in this tube right here and stuck together.

  • So I squeeze it really hard.

  • You can see it moves around in there.

  • Fun fact we use the mayhem is blue dye or no take back sies.

  • The mayhem is red dye and we used the primo chill blue dye.

  • This is the second time we've had Primo Chill Die Do this.

  • So I'm not gonna be using that die anymore.

  • So anyway, this is one reason why we're doing this.

  • I might change the block out because the blocks looking kind of Yeah, the block has seen better days like that.

  • It's not overeating, though.

  • This is this Mormon aesthetic thing.

  • Anyway, we had a lot of people asked to Jay.

  • What test bench is that?

  • That's pretty cool.

  • This is actually the first revision of the primo chill wet bench.

  • It's designed for water cooling.

  • That's why he's able to fit a 360 rad back here in the back.

  • They now have a newer version of this, which apparently, is a lot more.

  • Ah, lot more better?

  • I don't know.

  • I haven't personally used it, so I can't say it.

  • That's true enough.

  • So, guys, much of the red coolant out as I could get just by gravity.

  • So what I'm gonna do now, actually is I'm gonna close loop back off, and I'm gonna Ah, man, that's die.

  • Anyway, Um, what I would do now is I'm going to continue to run the loop through with another power supply to power the pump while I continue to fill this with distilled water and then have this valve just barely cracked so some of the water can come out, but we want to flushes Muchas the right out as possible.

  • Now, distilled water is great for this.

  • I'll probably be using purified water as well from our A water cooler.

  • Just because we'll be swapping it back out pretty quickly, we're gonna fill the loop back up.

  • You read that turn because that's stuff that's been sitting in the radiator is sitting in the blocks and stuff.

  • But we do now.

  • We just sort of cracked that valve like that where that starts to go down.

  • So what's happening as some of it's making its way out of there some of its main way or some of it's making its way back to the loop Morning.

  • You just continue to replace this water until it comes out clear, so you'll notice over time.

  • This is gonna get Maur and more clear, and they keep an eye on your catch can or catch judge.

  • But if you wanna call it because they're there have been times I was just doing this, not paying attention to where I got all way to the top of the overflowed.

  • Now a lot of people would be like, Well, J you should just do, like a full drain like this, and then just fill it back up to the top.

  • I found out better results if I just let slowly kind of split the flow.

  • All right, so now that all the clear fluid is in there, you could get a really good idea of what I was talking about.

  • That's all.

  • The blue dye, the blue dye stuck.

  • And if I was, seems like a bottle brush cleaner would all break loose.

  • And it's still able to use his tube, which I'm still gonna have to use this tube right now because you know one thing you should always do before he started.

  • Project makes you have all the materials you need to complete it.

  • I just realized I don't have any of this size to being here.

  • I've got plenty of rigid plenty, Petey G acrylic metal tubes but this is a test meant something.

  • We need to be ableto pop the CPU block off because if I wanted to do, like testing of a Iot, we pop this off area on this, assist to the side, and I can't do that with rigid tubing.

  • So we're gonna do now is we're just gonna move forward cause I can come back and replace these tube later.

  • I'm gonna replace the block.

  • Those block has seen better days.

  • This is probably the thing I dislike most about this particular test bench is it uses these studs that stick up, which makes placing the motherboard down.

  • Super easy is it had put screws down through the holes.

  • But the problem is motherboards nowadays love him.

  • Having these covers and stuff make it very difficult to get these little aluminum nuts on there.

  • And so it, uh, this one's only being held down in a couple of locations, which is why it had two nuts on there because I don't want to lose him.

  • But the more I see that one down in there, he's gotta like thank God snarled, because if it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to turn this like this.

  • So the Z 3 90 dark motherboard from DVD A is what we're using for this test rig.

  • I'm, uh, really like the simplicity of PJ's bios.

  • I'm really comfortable with it.

  • I've used it for years.

  • Conflict says anybody aboard it Currently, this board's kind of unique because designed by Kingpin, it comes with its own little like test bed.

  • Use us those big, long brass standoffs right there, these guys, and then you place a motherboard on it, and then it gives you a pit out like layout of the motherboard to like you can't see with the VJ, you know, static bag.

  • But it's really neat.

  • If you want to build a test venture, use this thing for over clocking and playing around.

  • It's not new.

  • It's about for a while.

  • I've used it in one build for a friend.

  • We really liked it.

  • CPU is rotated.

  • The memories rotated with it because the idea here is that it's got the power and the 24 pin much closer together, making for a cleaner power delivery.

  • Since this is the Dark board, I'm gonna be using the case supremacy or velocity block.

  • I was that supremacy.

  • So that's what they were called for.

  • The longest time.

  • Amusing a black one because I figured that would look good on here.

  • Let's see.

  • Please remove before use.

  • They'll make him clear anymore.

  • Because the only times I've installed blocks with that sitting on there because I'm not going straight to x 2 99 like I normally do, I don't have to change the jet plate, which would be nice the first time in forever.

  • For the first time in forever.

  • I have two daughters Leave me alone now because the V g A is like we don't want none of that RGB nonsense.

  • I just took this wire away because there's no RGB header on this motherboard.

  • I'm okay with that.

  • It's a test bench.

  • Why do we need RGB on suspense?

  • We don't just discreet every card.

  • What?

  • I can't hear you over the sound of scratching the back and voila, That looks really good.

  • You can see now why they put the 28 pin E.

  • P s next to the 24 pin.

  • That's a lot neater.

  • Although these cables have all been kind of bent all over creation over time, they also move the CPU fan headers right next to it too.

  • So that's in there.

  • Nice and clean piece expressed cables.

  • There's What I'm going to do now is I'm gonna put in the ram, but I guess I'm not gonna I don't think I'm gonna use these guys.

  • I figured I would embrace the gold all over the motherboard and put in some horn cold tried Enzi Royal, which, uh, the only other system they've been using The golden is my gold build inside the studio, which is being replaced with a new work station.

  • It's like this motherboards like Super industrial.

  • And then it's just like sprinkling a little like the look so pretty on there.

  • But I'm gonna change out this block.

  • So to do that now, I need to drain the loop again.

  • Get all the air out of here, are all the water out of here, and then just put these two fittings up to this block here.

  • Once we do that, then I can show you what happens when you boot up on operating system.

  • That's on a drive that had previous hardware connected to it and how Windows handles that.

  • So before we put everything up.

  • We need to go into the bios and make sure that our drive with our operating system is set to our main boo drive.

  • So power on.

  • And yet I cut myself.

  • I believe that I cut myself right at the end.

  • It's always the knuckle take a little longer in its first post because it's training the memory.

  • It's kind of identifying all the hardware.

  • And there we go.

  • Did you hear that?

  • Beep?

  • One of the best things about DVD motherboards is they have a speaker on the motherboards.

  • You actually get beeps.

  • There it is right there.

  • See?

  • It's ordered underneath the very bottom PC express lot.

  • TJ is like, we love the bios, peeps, because you don't look at me like I care.

  • What code were, You know, you just hear the people, you know that you've made it past post or in my ex to nine system like skunk works.

  • It beeps also on every USB device initialization, and I've got a lot of us be.

  • Cecil goes, Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.

  • CPU Memory of change.

  • You enter setup?

  • Yes.

  • So I'm just gonna enter the set up.

  • Running at 28 sees we know are pumping everything's working multiplier control or new manual everything set to 50 already.

  • That's because it is a K s.

  • So everything is already set all all Court 50.

  • The only thing I usually do with my seep uses I go zero on the ratio.

  • AdX Rachel Offset.

  • That's just Intel thing because a BX instructions our intel.

  • We're going to do voltage control, evil that automatic.

  • I'll go to my memory and I'll switch that to ex MP profile.

  • Say that configuration.

  • You want to see it both our drive show up.

  • Unfortunately, only one of them are, so I think I might have accidentally unplugged the state of cable.

  • So there's Arcee to Dr RSX 900 pretty old 206 gigs.

  • As you can see, it's just a test bench.

  • I have all of my games on an actual spinning drive that we do.

  • Our testing with the way I did it is, and I've had to do this in the past before is unplugged the hard drive and a lot of people recommend I'm plugging the drives you don't want Windows installed on anyway, if you're gonna do it, installation and then I move the state a port for the SST.

  • So what I'm gonna do now also is under boot, because this is such an old installation, it's actually a legacy install, not a u F.

  • I install.

  • So the boot mode select is such a legacy.

  • If I'm correct here, this should now boot off because he not showing up.

  • See, it said Hard drive a Data SX 900.

  • If he saw that for a second, it didn't say that before.

  • That only showed up once I switched it from you, if I'd a legacy mode, that's something you might have to deal with depending on how old the operating system installed is.

  • But because the original installed was legacy, every time it was upgraded, it stayed in legacy mode.

  • So the motherboard isn't going to see the fact that that's an OS drive unless you switch the mod to match.

  • So a couple things you may notice, though, when you boot off your hardware your new hardware.

  • For the first time, Windows might do one of two things or might even do both.

  • It might do a check disk, you could skip it.

  • I recommend letting it go.

  • The other thing you might see is when you see the Windows logo, it might go to very similar to when you do your first installed that says, Please wait, getting device is ready.

  • What it will do is it will install all the drivers that it needs for the chipset, the motherboard, all that sort of stuff so that can get up and running.

  • Because Windows does keep a very good database of those drivers on hand, even without Internet connection, so that you could get this up and running.

  • There's not been a time in the last will shoot as long as I've been doing YouTube now, which is going on eight years that I haven't been able to just throw a new motherboard and seep.

  • You put in our hard drive in there that has an OS on it, and then it didn't work.

  • Now, when I do recommend is not doing this a bunch of times like I've done with my work station here because it does start to compound weirdness on top of previous weirdness, which gives you really extra weirdness.

  • It's not a smart move.

  • But if you're just making like I've had my computer three or four years, I want to upgrade it, give it a shot and see what happens.

  • Going from Intel, the Intel or a nd ta MD seems to be the easiest, most trouble free way of doing it.

  • But going from Intel, the AMG, or vice versa can start to cause a little bit more of, ah, where sometimes it might need driver updates or chipset updates or something to get a lot of features unlocked or full features, or just some of the weirdness removed because it is then going to a who knows how old a chips, that driver or whatever you know with bios and stuff.

  • A new motherboards in the Lisa Gay.

  • So whatever they call it, it's just always best.

  • After you change your hardware like this to go through an update, all your drivers, just to make sure everything's up to date and Windows didn't pull some old driver that might cause problems.

  • The other thing that you might notice to for some reason, um, is if your hard drives aren't all showing up and this is a whole different video topic, Let's go the start menu type disc management and what will come up there is where it says, creating format hardest partitions.

  • And if you have a drive that's missing and not showing up, so these air blue that means they're active drives.

  • They have partitions and dr letters assigned.

  • You might find a secondary drive sitting here black, which means it's not assigned.

  • All you do then is right.

  • Click, and then you go through a sign drive letter.

  • Make it the same drive letter as it was before, if it's available, and then that Dr will be up and running.

  • So the other thing that may potentially happen to is you might, over time, they won't necessarily happen right away.

  • But maybe within a day or two you might see the Activate Windows indication pop up on the screen.

  • All you have to do then is just used the telephone call in number of the 800 number, Um, walk through the process.

  • It will even sometimes say new hardware may trigger this.

  • When it asked you how many times windows have been installed on the computer, just say one.

  • It'll give you a new install code.

  • Boom, you're up and running.

  • It's really simple.

  • So I decided to just kind of take you guys along for the ride of getting our test bench up and running.

  • Now with our new 9900 ks, hopefully removing any potential bottlenecks as we move forward with technology.

  • This is now the fourth time this test bench has actually been upgraded since I started this channel and had a test bench.

  • My very first test bench was actually a 37 70 and as you can see, we've gone from there, though it was extra 99.

  • It was 59 30 then was a 59 60 x, and it was 8700 k.

  • And now it says it was at five.

  • Whatever.

  • It had a lot of upgrades.

  • This particular Windows install is now probably on its third round of hardware, and as you see, it's working.

  • Just find as if we never changed anything.

What's up, guys?
