16:04 : "New Text Layer" This is why you gotta stop editing past 2 AM.

[@laserman5008]

Was just about to comment that mistake

[@fearsometie5543]

Who else came down to the comments just because of this?

[@paulshardware]

CURSE YOU NEW TEXT LAYER why must you torment me

[@MA16v3]

Impending running gag?

[@murpsauce7168]

I am become New Text Layer, destroyer of videos.

[@gr82banautiger24]

You;re right about the cable combs pinching and looking bad. Hate to waste the cable combs though, aren't those aluminum? Not sure I would clip them, but you could slide them to the ends so you can re-use them in the future. This build is going to be over $6000 worth of hardware ($1500 case, $3000 worth of GPU's, a $750 CPU, $450 PSU, and a $350 motherboard. And that's not even counting ram custom sleeving, and watercooling components. INSANE.

[@Nomadic_Penguin]

That transition to a bearded Paul caught me off guard

[@legoman786]

Same.

[@TheBamnus]

To be fair... I didn’t even notice...

[@playertoo_]

Now this is a build that makes me salivate. Everyone always says they put a lot of thought in their custom builds but they'll always run into one thing or another that makes people go "Ouch". It's often so close to perfect but just not exactly there to truly satisfy you. From cable color mismatches to cables that are too long to parts that didn't truly fit the theme, but this so far is just flawless. The angular design on the motherboard shroud that blends with the angular design of the Neo Trident Z, that matches the Graphics cards. Really just makes you go HNGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I really can't wait to see the B-Roll on this one.

[@TheAlchemist606]

16:00 what if you wanted to make a well-edited video but God said "new text layer"

[@RMAJGaming]

"Bottom text"

[@mrexile09]

Honestly I’m really really loving the way this thing is coming together. Take your time and make sure you get an end result you’re ecstatic about. Great job Paul.

[@mckayver1306]

I like your humble attitude towards being privileged to building and owning a PC like that. Your display of appreciation is excellent and good job on the channel.

[@ChipsNeeson]

Privileged? He worked hard to get where he is.

[@Ottobon]

paul your like a dad to me, but if my dad recommended SLI in 2019 i'd call child protective services.

[@abbottdelasalas3329]

"Its an enthusiast thing." -Jayztwocents 😊

[@brdon2099]

Ok weeb

[@FelisSilvestrisBE]

About this... I've seen Jay's video on SLI, but nowhere does it mention using an older generation card and add another one to lengthen the lifespan a year or 2. Having a 1080Ti I want to know, because a 2080ti is just not going to happen with these prices. Usecase would be VR and thus 2x 90FPS goal.

[@prophecy66]

@@FelisSilvestrisBE From experience I would say it highly depends on what games you want to play and whether they support sli. I found that there was less and less games supporting sli and therefore gave it up and got a 2080ti. This was coming from sli gtx 970. It's a pretty shitty feeling when one of your cards is just sitting there doing nothing.

[@FelisSilvestrisBE]

@@prophecy66 Sounds fair enough, really. There's just so much life in a 1080ti.

[@seanthompson6720]

Arctic Dragon instead of Arctic Panther, since you got the MSI dragon on your graphics card facing out.

[@abbottdelasalas3329]

made the same suggestion also. 😊

[@Chace957]

Agreed!

[@Marin3r101]

Dragons wouldnt inhabit the arctic circle so that makes even less sense.

[@Requiem4aDr3Am]

@@Marin3r101 a white dragon would DnD ftw

[@Mrjoecreeper]

@@Marin3r101 Arctic Wyvern?

[@cracklingice]

Slide all the combs into the cable management area instead of cutting them off. Then you can use them in the future and bonus it might make the bottom part look better. If not they typically slide all the way to the connector just fine.

[@russellrobertson5359]

You know it took a while when Paul has a full beard by the time he finishes the transition

[@Marin3r101]

3 days for me.

[@ethanbondick4121]

9:48 Manly Paul has entered the building...

[@piper67890able]

The shorter main cords are such a great idea. Just got into doing my own custom cables and I’m stealing that idea.

[@clintsimmons3122]

Your tenacity is amazing, Paul.

[@mduckernz]

Dude this is sick AF! Nice build! Really slick, and crazy powerful. (also, who ever knew that a super high end build would have had an AMD CPU only a few years ago?! The market is much more healthy these days. Yay!)

[@vonelders]

Arctic Panther? There is a dragon on the video card and on your shirt. Arctic Dragon. Or panther. Can't wait to see the end result. Cheers

[@brandongreene3213]

This is awesome. A perfect way to start my sunday. Cup of coffee and a sweet pc build. Low key, chill. Loving it paul.

[@BingeV]

My girl after no nut November: "What could go wrong?" Me: 4:20

[@arrowdynamlc]

This is the most I've laughed in a while

[@RAW_Reality]

Do you use the dustpan method too? 🤔😅

[@shaneeslick]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Evil_XIII]

Don’t snip off the cable comes, just pull them down to the psu side

[@mattsmechanicalssi5833]

The QDC on the distro block is a good idea, though it looks to be sticking out quite a ways, and I'd worry that it could get knocked somehow and cause the block to break. Maybe a short swivel 90 would keep it tucked in closer. Just a thought. It looks really good so far Paul. I really like the cable management in that case. Keeps everything looking super clean and tidy, and lets you show off the main components without distraction. And wow! I though my beard can grow quickly, but you've got me beat! o7

[@YamiFrankc]

I really like how the scene looks after the time skip. It has a nice look!

[@abbottdelasalas3329]

I was thinking of the name Arctic Dragon since its bigger and MSI's dragon is in full view via the vertical gpu mounts. 😊 Also, Daniel used Mayhems X1 clear with a little silver aurora booster in a build. It gave out a slight metalllic/shimmery effect when lighted up... sort of like water forming ice crystals when freezing over in a time lapse . Excited to see the next updates for this epic build. Great job Paul.

[@Xorius]

Instead of dealing with magnetized or non magnetized phillips screws I have replaced all my screws with hex (allen key) style screws. Not only does it give it a more unique look, they also stay on the bit way easier. They also don't strip. Win-win.

[@mitchtoaster]

The most subtle "that's what she said" joke I've seen in any pc build video.

[@Streetbikerider83]

lol so used to seeing the beard i didnt even notice till u scratched it. man didnt even realize u was working on that for that long that u grew that manly epic beard GG. wish i could grow one but i have an ungodly bald patch under my chin. XD

[@chillstep4life]

Dam that build looks so dope. Can't wait to see the finished results.

[@MisterRorschach90]

Put some shiny metal shroud or something in front of the psu. And honestly you should find metal combs that are the same size as the acrylic ones you have in the case so they stand out more and fit in with the rest of the build.

[@Jono.]

Awesome build! Hoping for a 3950x this holiday season so I might be able to do something like this as well!

[@Yawdrah]

When your trying to train new cables or cables that just don't want to work with you, use a hair dryer and warm the cables. They will bend to your will.

[@TheJorith]

Looking very nice, and i actually like its not rushed for video purposes

[@shauntr00per]

Love your videos Paul, you really helped me build my first PC. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@hegga_nm]

This is indeed a worthy successor of Arctic Panthers of the past. Absolutely beautiful :) The only thing I dislike is that MSi dragon logo, as to me it always looked like something that was designed to appease young gamers population. Personally, I would do something to cover it, as I think that would make this beauty look even better. :)

[@robh316]

Glass tubing Paul would finish the system off just nice

[@JuxZeil]

Once you get those cable combs off and let those cables fill the channels it'll be looking real nice and tidy. 👌

[@arrowdynamlc]

You know a video's good when half the top comments are timestamps.

[@GullibleGuttridge]

loving it so far you should do a screw effect with the hardline tubes to match ur pauls hardware logo

[@Kundalini12]

That fitting between the graphics card and the motherboard looks really tight, I'd probably put it on the otherside of the card so it's between the two GPUs.

[@BeeWhere]

Happy to see you following up on your held projects. Great job and and have a good holiday

[@philipsills5298]

looking awesome so far. looking fwd to seeing it finished

[@nexmo_co]

you can just push the integrated cable combs to both ends, use another one or 2 in the exposed curve on the front . push the rest back to the connector down under the psu cover

[@CraigLillie]

Oh Joy, we get to hear Paul's stomach rumbling again. :D Well, that's what it sounds like to me.

[@bryandepaepe5984]

The way to tell between stainless steel screws and aluminum is the weight of aluminum screws will be a lot lighter (almost half the weight) than for the same size stainless steel screw.

[@mannyprego9013]

Hey Paul, great build. Sample a harp, it gives you that "time travel" vibe.

[@rafablesa]

Great Build Paul... Wanting you to finish it!

[@mdbeatt]

Hey Paul looking Great! I got my Pauls Hardware coffee Mug today, enjoying some good coffee in my New Mug Great Item! Love the Videos and all the helpful advice you give.

[@paulthebeardedonedowning6820]

no feed back needed it is gonna look mega real huge fan of those cable routes on the back the case some machine that pal worthy of all the thoughts its gotten from ya all the thoughts lol

[@Gavrev]

It's looking great! Nice one man *^^*

[@infulleffect5930]

i wish people made their build videos one part only. i understand you guys need to get videos out and a build video is fun to watch but not enough to go through 2-3 episodes. (imho)

[@MrDaffydGriffiths]

Paul this is looking awesome! Could you maybe peel away / cover up the ugly white label on the back side of the PSU?

[@MattsPaddock]

Putting those cables in cable canals is so OCD satisfying 😍

[@trolling4dollars816]

@ 10 min, a genie coming out of the lantern effect would be cool

[@SparklySpencer]

This is basically the build I want to make if I had enough $$$ XD Very excited to see how it all comes together for you

[@InVisDK]

Looking super amazing there Paul! - the build looks good too ;o)

[@wbkruse13]

Knowing you mixed black and silver screws makes my OCD scream out in agony.

[@shaneeslick]

P.s. Paul, just to Irk the viewers asking you to give them Artic Panther III, you should give it to Hannah as 1st Christmas present, I'm sure she will share with you did you see how many Whinging comments Jay got because the Little Jay build was too good for a kid, I think Little Jay Deserved it as she worked hard at school & also worked hard building it, they had so many problems & she just kept persisting

[@lurkerrekrul]

Wow, I think I'll build one of these! It's not like I really needed to buy any food or pay any bills for the next year...

[@ER3888]

Great Build Paul!

[@rabel1545]

If you call it arctic panther. I really would love too see the MSI dragons on the gpus sanded down and being replaced by an actual black panther. Would probably look gorgeous

[@_Randwulf]

Interesting "Black Dragon" build... 👍😎

[@rcjd7834]

1:52 Do I spy a Spyderco Tenacious? A well cultured man indeed who opens his PC build parts with a Spyderco!

[@ChrisMizo]

This thing is a monster! 👹

[@RargoWingate1]

Looking good. I love this case. Very daunting and I'm learning from watching you build it. I plan on using if for my next build.

[@hag3n273]

Arctic Ocean: because all the CPUs in 2019 have melted the arctic ice. Your panther better be a good swimmer. Arctic Monkey: because you're getting hairier during the video. Visible devolution to early (morning) primate. You and the PC was strangely reminiscent of Kubrick's 2001 "chimps with the monolith". Strauss' sprach Zarathustra would have made it an epic transition lol.

[@Zehort]

You could just slide the cable combs down towards the psu to avoid snipping them of entirely. Just a suggestion :)

[@crowdaddy6472]

Fantastic system bit over the top for playing Rocket League

[@maraudermike83findmeontwit86]

He is the only other one on KZbin besides me to use those awsome msi cards

[@B0MZIE]

the x570 aqua would look dope

[@LordRamen12]

Man the transitions look like Paul during the day and Paul during a fullmoon

[@neavle]

Very interested in the next (and final?) video in this series.

[@dabj9546]

Very expensive, but still 10% of the new Mac and more graphics power and probably quieter. Apple get your shit together!

[@anthonyrandall4908]

Well Paul I would recommend frosted tubes if your gonna use color liquid.

[@majornadz1385]

Put a drop of crazy glue on a piece of trash and then dip your screwdriver in it and immediately put the stainless screw on it , wait a second and then thread it into the riser , when it's started a little just wiggle the handle to break the bond . Sometimes Vaseline works too but it's a dust magnet later .

[@cardsfanbj]

Custom cables not from CableMod? Sacrilege. JK. Competition is good.

[@Fritzz5]

Ensourced FTW. Those that know... know

[@CallanElliott]

Singularity makes the custom cables themselves for this case.

[@madmat2001]

When dealing with non-magnetic screws, putting a small dab of grease in the screw void (where the screwdriver goes) will hold it to the tip of the screwdriver. You can then wipe it clean with a cotton swab.

[@colinjava8447]

I would use blu-tack

[@kennetknudsen7042]

so much effort was put in to this build even the beard grew faster :D

[@nicholasboccio]

Love the beard - it goes good with Artic Panther.

[@JS-wc4xs]

Add an internal water wheel to visually see the water flowing thru the system

[@lbiggy]

I personally sleeve all my cables on my power supplies. It is seriously THE MOST ANNOYING thing ever that they split the 24 pin at the psu side.

[@johnjarvis8185]

You can get phillips screw starters from several places and they will even work on plastic screws of all sizes. Just Google phillips screw starter and pick your choice.

[@ploppymacplop]

A spot of Blu Tack on non magnetised screw heads Paul

16:01 New Text Layer... Nice.

[@markstratton1958]

I

[@Celician83]

Still say you should have named it with a dragon theme, since it's a MSI exclusive build. Maybe like "Nautical Dragon", for the Corsair/MSI build

[@Outland9000]

I'm waiting for forged carbon to make its way into the PC aesthetics world.

[@Outland9000]

@Gareth Tucker Well, you could use it for hard line tubes but I still think carbon is a bad choice for water loops though. I was thinking more for back plate covers, pump housings water block covers etc. Purely as an aesthetic thing. As for getting custom work done? Well, simple things I or almost anyone who knows composite materials could make simple parts at home and for more complex parts that would require injection moulding, that would be cost prohibitive unless batches were produced.

[@EX7RUD1CON]

Cool to hear Corsair is using bitspower for its fittings, good quality

[@boatrat]

Why would I not just buy the silly things direct from Bitspower? I mean, I've liked (and bought!) a couple of Corsair's cases... But with this kinda stuff I really don't understand the point.

[@EX7RUD1CON]

boatrat74 I agree, I ordered all my stuff from them, but you know people are going to want Corsair branded stuff. At least they’re going with a good respectable producer for their fittings

[@UKYusei]

I just got my msi x570 meg ace board for my 3700x loving it so far

G'day Paul, I have been enjoying the Singularity Build series, Us Aussies make some really Quality products

[@acquacow]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that older EK Supremacy CPU block doesn't cover the chiplets completely. EK has a larger block that fits the 39xx better.

[@BillyLapTop]

I'm glad the Arctic Panther is making a come back. I missed the growling.

[@TheITonyO]

[@Stefan.Stefanov]

Corsair PSUs are great but the cables in the famous Corsair bag are terrible! In the same time I love the PSU and I hate the cables. This is known as "The Curse of Corsair" :D
