THIS HAS BEEN A ALMOST 4+ YEARS BUILD FOR ME AND I'M FROM THE UNITED STATES. As it states this had been a 4+ years to get to this point to build this SILVER MISFIT. I've honestly have lost count of the cost of everything I've spent on building my system. Where old parts that became spare part to ending up in a second computer I made for someone else but that's for another post and time lol. I original started off with parts list: Case Phanteks Evolv Shift XT(silver)/750w platinum power supply combo(Was inspired by JAYZTWOCENTS from YouTube) Bought from Phanteks MoBo Asus X570I GAMING (ITX) bought through New egg CPU AMD 5600 bought through New Egg CPU COOLER PHANTEKS Glacier One WHITE RGB edition bought from Phanteks(Before they offered bundle with case & power supply) Ram OLOy OWL WHITE RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3600 bought through New Egg GPU GIGABYTE GTX 1080TI Gaming OC 11g white special edition bought used from ebay during the gpu apocalypse Storage Corsair Mp500 m.2 240gb bought from Newegg back in 2017 lol and the true starting point of this build PNY 1tb 2.5 ssd bought from Walmart Ran my system like that for a couple of months maybe longer. Before I did my first upgrade lol. Which was a ram upgrade by the same manufacturer OLOY and same kit just went from 16g to 32g. Which I also bought on NEWEGG lol. During that time I was looking into parts for a custom waterloop. Where I made my first noob water cooling mistake lol *sigh* I under estimated the size of the pump reservoir combo from Corsair. The one the size of 2 120mm stacked together. Yeah total noob mistake lol and only realized it once I had the box in had looking it over. Talk about a facepalm moment. I should of don't a return of it and got my money back but I decided to keep it. Figured I'd end up using for another build down the road. Which I did lol. Next upgrade I got were some high flow/pressure fans for the radiator on the AIO. Since I couldn't get the Phanteks T30-120 Fan that had come out and JAYZTWOCENTS had demonstrated. Without having to give up a left nut to scalpers. I instead bought a set of EK-Furious Meltemi 120 (1200-3500rpm) lol what I didn't realize was these were 35mm and wouldn't quite let the top of the fast go back on by a few mm. So I just ended leaving the top sitting on top not latched. As I was gathering all the water cooling pieces I needed to complete loop V1 Decided to go for all white fittings as an accent cooler matching with the ram and duktape was using around the fan edges of the AIO radiator since didn't have gaff tape like JAYZTWOCENTS lol. Hey it worked to help the air going through the radiator better. Help cool by at least 5° c. As for the fittings I bought a mix of Corsair, FreezeMod, and Barrow. I also decided to go soft tubing route at first to make it easier on myself with my first loop and allow me to do a proff of concept on the loop on how I wanted to do it. Which was 10mm ID/13mm OD 3/8in x 1/2in. Which was by PRIMOFLEX 10ft box bundle. The radiator I decided to go with Alphacool NexXxos ST30 V2 Full Copper Radiator 240, 120mm x 2, Dual Fan, Black because of the fact it had 5 g 1/4 ports. Which 4 were basically back to back which would be needed for me to fill the loop since I wasn't going to be able to run a reservoir in the loop do to lack of space and not trying to spend too much on water cooling parts lol The pump I finally found and would work for my build Ek-Loop DDC 4.2 PWM. It was the perfect size to fit in this SFF case and partly why I went with the tube size I picked lol For the waterblocks. I chose to go with what I could find without having to give up a body part to afford them lol. For the CPU I went with Hydro X Series XC7 White and for the GPU Bykski Gigabyte GTX 1080Ti Gaming OC 11G Full Coverage GPU Water Block - Clear (N-GV1080TIG1-X). As for the fluid I went with Corsair Hydro X clear premix since could get it cheap and I didn't feel like using any color fluid at the time. Here's pics of my very first loop from the sides only and before I filled the loop. Forgot to take more pics after getting it filled and system up and running. After a few months of having my system like that and using it on my days off I decided that I was ready to go hard line but before I could do that. I had to source a new top for the pump that would let me use g1/4 fittings. Which I found used on ebay and was the EK-XTOP DDC - Plexi that I ended up having to buy EKs mounting hardware since didn't get it when I bought the block. Then after watching another JAYZTWOCENTS upload lol I decided on what hard tubing I wanted to use after seeing the corsair frosted tubing he showed that looked amazing! And had to use it myself lol loop V2 first hard line set up pics incoming lol Yeah I know that the cleanest hard line setup on the gpu side or the cable management lol but considering this was my first time and made it harder on myself by watching to make sure both the gpu and the cpu got the coolest coming from the radiator. Which I saw as a must for my SFF BUILD. I have to say it came out pretty good. OH! At this point I also had come across a screaming deal I would of been stupid to past up on ebay for a brand new in box unopened 5900X for the price of a 5800X but not installed yet. Then my next upgrade after a few more months was a GPU I picked up on Ebay when prices had dropped for some new gen GPUs. I scored a Zotac RTX AMP HALO 8GB NON LHR version with waterblock just over MSRP and got ahold of a set of Phanteks T30-120 fans(3pack) finally straight from Phanteks but also decided the radiator wasn't thick enough to handle the heat soak that happens during long game playing since loop would start reaching up into the high 60°c to mid/high 70°c. I know this thanks to a temp sensor I put into the loop where I had the coolant coming out of the pump before splitting to go to the GPU/CPU and would randomly check Temps through Fan control and recommendation I got from JAYZTWOCENTS lol High Jay if you or your team is reading this by now but I digress... lol anyways.... as I was saying. I decided to also upgrade the radiator to a THICK BOY as Jay would say lol and since EKWB had a sale going on for the Monoblock for the ASUS X570I GAMING. I also picked that up since it was half of what is used to cost. Why not at this point lol and found a deal on deal on a 64g 4000mhz kit by OLOY on NEWEGG but this time wasn't white but damn did that ram kit look good and was a price that made it hard to resist lol and here's the current form loop v3 lol for now because I think I just might of found my dream GPU and I'm not going to say more then that till I'm sure I'm golden on it but here's loop v3 with the monster alphacool NexXxos monsta lol and Yes I kinda had to hotrod mod the case to make it fit all together lol but Damn it looks good! And yes I know some of the loop doesn't look the cleanest or greats but at least its functional/working lol. Though I admit I'm not sure how I Want to finish up the top lol. Got a few Idears kicking around in my head on what I might do. With being an over the road trucker and working on it when I can to tweak it and do upgrades when I can. I say it's looking good for being able to build my once in a lifetime dream pc build that I call "SILVER MISFIT" Crap! Just remember there's other upgrades I forgot to include but will later do a complete parts list later with everything in the build. But I need to get some sleep for an early morning delivery I have to make tomorrow. I do welcome any ideas on how to finish up the top of system and comments. Update 6/20/2023 Well instead of typing everything out that I used in my system I decided to make a pcpartpicker list and here's a link with as much as I could remember off the top of my head with prices I could find from the purchasing of items or it that was included with a purchase. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ponchaz/saved/wRbyWZ Didn't realize how much I spent on my system yeah my bank account definitely was hurting after all this.... even more after latest gpu upgrade I bought. Won't know for sure if I got the real deal or scam till I get home to check it out myself but at least I don't have to worry about porch pirates because have someone at home to make sure it gets brought in lol. Well till next time. TTFN LOL

Is anyone watching Tech Talk? JazTwoCents? Chat is trying to get jayztwocents to drunk dail @LinusTech Currently on the air with Paul from Paul's Hardware

Update: Jay made a video clarifying his concerns and what he is going to do going forward. Reddit Discussion: This reflects the very interesting discussion in the latest WAN show, but Jay didn't commit so strongly until this afternoon. Here is a part of the WAN show where they (Linus, Luke, Dmitry, and Jay) discussed this: Maybe the REA (review embargo alliance) will actually become a thing?

What coolant is he using in this video? I really like the look of it.

Hi guys need some help here. I have been searching for the software that jay uses when benchmarking some games does anyone knows what he uses? Attached picture show that the software that has an overlay like that.

Jay is giving away a Ryzen PC as parts. You'll get a Ryzen 5 2600, MSi Gaming M7 AC board, 16GB of GeIL RAM, an EVGA GTX 1070 FTW2 and an EK A240 to WATERCOOL your CPU. Don't enter here

Hi, I am planning to build a gaming pc in the near future and I would like to water cool it. The thing is, I'm new with water cooling. I watched JayzTwoCents' video on the A240G and I am wondering if it would run well and get decent temperatures with my gpu and cpu. I am planning to get an AMD ryzen 7 2700X and an Asus Strix 1080 ti. I feel like I might need better water cooling for my gpu, but I'm not quite sure. Anyone know if that would work well?

Sources: PaulsHardware, JayzTwoCents, BitWit Kyle Several Tech Youtubers including the following Twitter Handles: @LinusTech @hardwarecanucks @teksyndicate @GamersNexus @bitwitkyle @paulhardware @JayzTwoCents @ScienceStudioYT @OC3D @HardwareUnboxed Were accused of not properly disclosing their business practices. Specifically stating that those Youtubers charged money to visit a booth and to create videos and other content. So far PaulsHardware and JayzTwoCents have refuted such claims and there are rumors of a Lawsuit from GamersNexus. However, best of all Kyle has dropped some sick beats and it's amazing! Personally, I doubt any of them have actually done so, but time will tell. - RC

Hi, I recently saw JayzTwoCents video on fortnite on a budget. Essentially he had a AMD Ryzen 5 2400g CPU and paired it with 16 GB of 2400 ram. He gets about 60 frames on about medium settings. Once he puts in a graphics card he bumps all the way up to high settings easily playing the game. This build seems very valuable to me since I'm just getting into PC gaming and GPU prices are crazy ridiculous due to mining. My question: I want to be able to stream at least 720p to youtube. If I bump the CPU up to a Ryzen 7 1700x, will streaming be successful at 60 fps even at lowest settings(on fortnite) ? I have a youtube channel started up and streaming is such a great influence for the channel. Thank you to any and all responses / suggestions. I also currently have a laptop with a GeForce 940mx and a dual core Intel processor (definitely not enough to stream as I have tried it before) I also produce videos, so a machine that could (relatively) quickly render videos would be a great plus. PS. I would go for a budget PC. With a GPU and all, but I want to have some upgrade ability, and this seems like a very solid, clean option to me.

During Jayztwocents stream just over an hour ago; I asked him would it be worth getting the Cooler Master Cosmos C700P case over my current HAF X and he happened to say yes; but mentioned little on why but he stated it’s a nice yet very expensive case to consider. is there any true reasons to doing so; say for airflow or is it merely for a fancier overall look to my system? Any suggestions/opinions are welcome, thanks in advance.

Hey guys! Yesterday I was watching Youtube and there was noting special about it. But today, I saw Youtube updated the fullscreen to this: What do you guys think about this? I think they should go back to full-fullscreen and not like this almost-full-fullscreen, it distracts me.

I'm soon building my pc (in 3 days) and im just puzzled about where to hang my 115i cooler from Corsair in my obsidian 450d. Jayztwocents has a video with only a front mounted radiator which is also his only intake. But does he then have those fans attached on the system fan headers? Does the PC not freak out without fans attached to the CPU headers? (Probs not) And now im asking here anyway, what would you do with my part list? - Intel Core i5-6600K Boxed - Asus Z170-DELUXE - Gigabyte GV-N98TG1 GAMING-6GD - Corsair Obsidian 450D - Corsair Hydro H115i - Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB Dual Channel - Cooler Master V Series V750

So basically I've got an kraken x40 and it is really good at cooling my Fx 8350 @ 5ishGhz but it just doesn't look that cool so I want to build an completely custom loop but I'm not sure if the parts I have picked are compatible so basically I want you to tell me if it works or tell me to change anything, I'm a complete noob at custom cooling.

Apparently Jaztwocents has had his Youtube account hacked/fished, and is now under the control of some impotent loser manchild. https://twitter.com/JayzTwoCents/status/688369842924220417 This is very sad as Jayz income has probably been stolen. It does question the security of YouTube, which is unacceptable as people are now making a living on this medium. As such their life is dependant on this platform. I wonder what this will do for Vessel migration for professional Youtubers, if this turns out to be more widespread.

Still, to this day, way too many cards come without a backplate. To be quite honest, it's a disgrace. And at this point, the power is in the hand of the community. Am I the only one who'd appreciate such a tutorial? Cause I can't seem to find a single guide on how to make one yourself.

Shots being fired: also a link to the video Btw Iz be lovin' the vessel.

I've been watching some Jayztwocents videos and i've noticed a lot of little rips towards Linus that are seemingly out of the blue. Is there some sort of tension I am not picking up on? Do they hate each other? EDIT: This is not intended to stir any arguments up or cause a flame war. I was just curious.

EDIT: Can't seem to get things to work and many other people beat me to starting a thread like this, imma just go cry in the corner wishing I could afford a 980Ti...my budget is more 960 style XD NVidia has officially released the 980Ti on Twitter! JayzTwoCents just his confirmed his review of the GTX 980 Ti on instagram! Released tomorrow by him, and hopefully LTT will soon follow (or beat?) ;D.

AMD vs Intel :rolleyes:

Yo Luke! Its me Jack Martin from the livestream. Dude that shoutout was amazing on Jayz video I can't tell you how awesome that was. http://youtu.be/V47hDv5AXU8?t=1h34m27s Dude you are the best! Keep up the good work bruh.
