Popping off the CPU cover is the best sensation

[@zacharyyousha5891]

hahahahha

[@CaptainXD]

who else just clicked for that sexy air cooler??

[@TheGunman889]

I could have got that but then I saw this massive cooler for the same price its only lights when you think about it although it is sexy (6 heat pipes)

[@Megacooltommydee]

I clicked for the case.

[@jamesschind9648]

CaptainXD me. Ima buy one

[@johnscully8053]

Amen

[@crimescene25]

would be a lot sexier if they knew how to center a sticker. Looks like it's about to wobble off the sink.

[@tonyhodgez]

Ahhh yeah. Love the Wilhelm Scream.

[@alfredodemarco4544]

First Coffee Lake Build on KZbin

[@loganpennington9104]

Thanks for this. I’m building my first desktop and this really helped. Looks like in the right place because I was planning on getting the same processor and SSD.

[@mpowell9508]

A excellent vid on how to build. Should be required viewing for all newbies and people that think they know!

WOW....never seen that ram before..sweet looking

[@keithcairns647]

Nice video build and easy to follow with a good clear voice making it easy to understand you.

[@ND4SPD773ay]

This is the exact build I want to do except with a liquid cooler lol

[@sharkbait2592]

Watching them build this glorious parts which I can't buy is so satisfying.

[@mattfarrar5472]

Agree... I can get a motherboard but they can't even give me a rough ETA on when the cpu's will be in Australia

[@memecake9890]

Nine that’s fucked man

[@kumd]

@ 5:38 :) lol I almost didn’t notice it

[@PinkasBrown44]

That cooler looks like it has a slim design, not leading to height issues. I might check this thing out.

625$ for a 1080? might as well add another 100$ and get a 1080 ti

WHERE IS RYAN! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM!

[@visitthisprofiletodieinsta9173]

He is practically the same guy, just a clone

[@ArbiterSCX]

Feel like this video ended too early. Installing the OS onto the m.2 drive can be a challenge. And most people will still have an SSD or HDD drive in addition to any Nvme drive they are running.

[@undeaddread]

I built this near exact machine, I have cheaped out & used a sata ssd & used the fractal meshify c case, I'm istalling windows on it atm :)

[@James.Stark.Ben.Edition]

PLEASE someone help me! I have the p300 version of this case and the f gaming version of the motherboard and when I try to install it, the inputs (hdmi, usbs,yatta yatta) won't go in fully to the shield and the motherboard despite being the right size won't go all the way to the top left corner of the case (where the fan is)

Bro i have trouble with my aura rgb. RGB lamp ini mobo z370 e and deepcool gammax rgb cant on. He die only asus led strip can on. So how to i fix it?

[@jendaymate6183]

hey do you know why the mothorboard RGB zone does not light up for me? since the day i installed it... i did a bios upadate and checked if the rgb was ON in the bios and also have the latest version of the aura sync, i did opend the RGB case where the iO to check if the cable was coonected good and it was... what should i do? do i need to return it or something? also my motherboard is the Asus RoG Strix Z370F gaming

[@blairschulz680]

Snap Chat I have the same issue as you. Did you find a fix? Do you mean that you took off the silver cover that has the RGB LEDs to confirm the connection was good?

[@jendaymate6183]

Blair Schulz yeah I re did it it was a pain in the ass but when I connected it heard a snap sound and I turned on my PC and the light showed up

[@user-uf3wc7hy4l]

I actually just chose this exact same CPU/motherboard combo. I went with a Fractal R6 case though.

[@Pirata_HDS]

Does that cpu cooler keep it cool when oc?

What are the odds? They chose the exact motherboard and processor I'm going to be getting on Black Friday! (Also, 1:15 XD)

[@DaK1ller]

SAME!!! I cant wait till black friday comes! Im getting the exact build, but im getting the i7 8700k, and a different case and different ram!

Heh, looks like you're getting more of the same parts than I am. Especially since I'm only getting a 1060 6G.

[@dbmiller5881]

Nice build! Is that m.2 bootable? I'm looking at a very similar build, and am torn between this Crucial MX300 vs the Samsung SSD / SATA 850 EVO drive (price is very close). Any particular reason for this choice of storage? How far would you overclock this build, with air-cooling (instead of water cooling)

[@phil5467]

Sounds like Kenny Powers

[@jandkwhite6459]

Phil YES!!

[@jeffproit]

Can you build z370 msi gaming M5?

[@youneedtoreconsider6551]

My only question was about the positioning of the power switch, reset switch, and HD/Power LED connections, and you skipped over it without a close up. No matter what configuration I try my switches are unresponsive.

[@3DRamenArt]

What kind of led strips are you using?

[@earl7738]

sorry dumb question but can my i3 8100 processor fit into gigabyte h110m

[@unforgivn82]

Realize this is 6 years old but so happens i picked up a computer second hand that had almost this exact setup...got it for 500 bucks. Year later I had to replace the graphics card and decided while I was in there to upgrade the graphics card to a 4060TI, install a second M.2, replace the already installed kingston HD with a samsung 2TB SSD and upgraded the triforce 16g to 32G ram. Only thing left on this rig thats old is the 370E motherboard and 8700 I7 processor. Neither of which are showing any signs of breaking down. Watched this video to see how its all done, thank you for the detailed video it truely helped me make the repairs. Believe it or not this 2017 rig is now running newer games with ease on ultra settings. I am shocked, all for under 1k.

[@zeddark4407]

where is the other guy who did the previews videos?

[@unknownuser0006]

I think you just need to loosen the screws at the PCI vent cover and just slide up while installing the PCIe card and screwing in and after just slide it back :) By the way, what are the temps?

[@TheJoshening]

Yea if my fucking motherboard would go into the io shield that would be great!

[@bashenshackelton8302]

I have a Z370-A MB, The Fan on the Cooler (Cooler Master) is so close to the Ramm that I don't think I can add anymore sticks. It's this a known issue with this MB? At 9:52 you can see the Fan is covering the Dimm slot.

[@ItsReape]

Can anybody tell me the correct order for the tiny little front panel connectors on this motherboard? My PC is built I’m just hung up on this! Any info would be appreciated. I read the motherboard manual and I can see the writing on the motherboard but I don’t wanna fuck up this far into the build. Help! Lol

Should I use this motherboard for my i7 8700k and asus rog gtx1080ti oc?

[@TheRxSaver]

Is it compatible with 10th gen i9 intel unlocked

[@uhZeny]

Can someone tell me why he chose the it 8700k over the i7 8700k?

[@hurleys781]

Can I use a 1060 gtx on this motherboard ?

[@justinconklin3987]

Um it’s pronounced (fan-teks) not (pan-teks) the “ph” makes an “f” sound.

[@thesneakyrm1045]

Nine i am going with strix because of mce

[@mattfarrar5472]

I will be overclocking myself so not too worried about that(I like to OC with stock voltage)

[@mattfarrar5472]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnSkgqOse82ci9U Ok i'm going Aorus Gaming 5

[@mattfarrar5472]

BILLABONGSTEFANO The gaming 5 only has 2 and the gaming 7 has 3.... I ended up going the Strix even though I wasn't going to, purely just because of aesthetics. And it matches my Strix 1080ti.

[@P1Fanatic]

I do like the full on RGB of the Aorus but prefer the more subtle lighting of the Asus Strix and prefer to keep in line with GPU for single RGB control via Aura Sync. Down to personal pref / aesthetics really. A lot of reviews prefer the asus BIOS and the M2 heatsink does the best job.

[@dnyaneshsangvikar1617]

Is asus rog strix better motherboard tham msi z370 and asus prime z370

[@clive3204]

I do love ma core ah 5 . . . I love dat accent

Is this cooler good for i7 8700k as well? I don't plan to overclock maybe mild oc say around 4.5Ghz.

I have this mobo and case. Can you please help me with the front panel connectors!!

[@jacksontoth9434]

No American megatrends boot screen? Something tells me it’s not the first boot 🧐😂

I'm sorry but that sticker being off center for the cooler fan sets my OCD off.

can i connect xbox wireless headset in this mother board without xbox wirelless help plz

[@greypoplars4775]

I see that you have an anti static strap but you don't have it attached to the PC case, and I was wondering what are you attaching it to so that you stay grounded?

[@fasistakos]

my motherboard does not have an rgb port, is it possible for the rgb to work without such a port?

[@roshelgaming]

‪Hi I checked ur pcpartpicker parts list nd on that website the build which u done u used crucial mx300 525gb M.2 2280 solid state drive . Nd on the compatibility check it shows the motherboard M.2 slot # 2 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled . So what does this means I can’t use M.2 SSD ‬

[@James.Stark.Ben.Edition]

Shelton Palha no it means that one of your data ports which are connected to hard disk will not work. So you can connect one less hdd to the motherboard if you connect the m.2 drive

[@alive-creature2449]

Does the intel and and processor come with the fan and does the brackets come with the fan

[@puzaka8]

i play pc building simulator. why ddr 2-4 not 1-3

[@TimzBeats]

My CPU cover did not make that noise at 1:15...i think it's faulty. I returned mine for a replacement.

[@reng.5934]

Hey @PCPartPicker... Any long term reviews on this build?? I'm actually considering the same basic setup (board, CPU) with different RAM and components. Curious as to how the board/cpu combo is performing now, if you encountered any issues like the LLC issue, etc... Thanks.

[@shawn1869]

Are you running the stock case fans (2) total? Mine came with only one intake and one exhaust. Runs a bit warm imho... Just curious what would be the best fan setup. Thanks!

[@Dysphoricsmile]

Thanks for showing Overclocks and temps... Pointless video for me anyway.... I want to know how well the i7-8700k does on something like a Noctua NH-D14!

[@Jim_JustGaming]

AND there’s no Ryan, or ANY face. Still, got the screwing/unscrewing shots, and the bonus peel; still happy.

Can i use corsair RMx 650W (ver 2018) psu or older version. If not then which psu will you recommend. And can i use Samsung EVO 970 m.2 ssd. What do you think Please help. I have been asking this to everyone on KZbin who build PC. But no one is answering at all. I hope you listen.
