[@BrianFRGVOD]

Ever since I found this channel I can't stop watching!!!

[@hurvee12]

[@Nofutureguy26]

The sound of the screwdriver is soooo relaxing.

[@spencersolberg]

Jay Carlo Alabat this video feels so ASMR

[@Nofutureguy26]

sorry if I sound silly or dumb but, what's ASMR? XD

[@jayden7951]

Jay Carlo Alabat search it up

[@jimbosarmoreddivision]

Hey Ryan, Just had to say.. I only came here to see a full review on the Z270X, not a full build guide and I was about to hit that back button. But I have to say you did such a Fantastic job that you kept me hooked and I ended up watching the entire video! Liked & Subscribed!!! :D Well done on such professionalism.

[@patrickboshell9445]

Perfect Video. No wasted time just straight and informative. Well done.

[@ezary]

True

[@BlueManatee]

Does anyone use these to fall asleep? I like the sound of the screw driver...

[@djgtbounce9393]

yea man that screwdriver sound strange but cool also XD

[@MichcioLOLz]

Fokin hell and i thought i was crazy for wathing ASMR :P

[@BlueManatee]

MichcioLOLz no you aren't crazy lol that screw driver is like an angel lol

[@hurvee12]

ASMR ! Google it up guys! ASMR is a whole new world!

[@hurvee12]

FUCKING HELL THIS IS ASMR FOR ME

[@teearay]

I really enjoy your full length build video without the instructions. The conversation you guys have is really nice podcast-esque white noise.

[@clintrussell]

Your Videos are getting a lot better than the 1st time you tried these. Keep it up

[@alexisv625]

Hi, I have a question, what is the screwdriver are you using? Because seems very good and sounds amazing. Thanks and 👍

[@pcpartpicker]

Sure, here ya go: pcpartpicker.com/product/RsKhP6/williams-wrs-1-magnetic-ratcheting-screwdriver

[@donu108]

[@somerandomdudeable]

PCPartPicker That screwdriver makes a relaxing sound

[@LoenDebr]

asmr and stuff :P

[@sheepsy]

These tutorials are clean, organized, and precisely explained. Camera angles and sound are top notch as well. Thanks for your web page and these KZbin tutorials. Fantastic resource.

[@humanbean3]

connect this connect that connect the hard drive to the fan hub... ummm what?????!

[@julianmonakian]

Thank you for not having an annoying intro. Sincerly: Every person ever.

[@erick19ize]

This is like techie ASMR, I love it

[@vincentpera8859]

Hi, thanks for the video. It helps a lot with my pc build. Just one question though, i could not see how you install the thermistor cable/sensor. I hope you could provide more info. Thanks and more power!

[@zero932905]

this seems like a pretty solid build, ive already got the 7700k ordered, i may just play off this for the other components.

[@scorpiogamer7027]

Good review. I just bought this motherboard to replace my old one and update my cpu to this one. I can't wait to install it.

[@arrol01]

i really love watching on this channel its so calm and i can understand everything he says..

[@Eddy2555]

I've never seen anything neater than this PC build.

[@adventureguy5088]

I'm only watching this for the screwdriver and the guy talking. Makes me feel like I'm in heaven.

[@uncle_rizzo1017]

You sir have earned yourself a new subscriber. Kudos

[@phantomx9563]

The builder is always happy

[@dave4shmups]

Great build video as always! What kind of screwdriver do you use? I know that you guys mentioned it in a live stream build, but I forgot.

[@IrfanA7861]

That was brilliant, can you upload more detailed version, I am sure there are more cables and where and how to do things hidden in this short tutorial, great tutorial non the less

[@giavarderpc4157]

Very helpful video man! Nice work. Plz make a video about medium spec PC such as I5 7500

[@XxLukexX]

Ordered this motherboard, will look great.

[@topbanana8438]

not the z270. go for the z370 coffee lake

[@garchompers564]

Thanks for the video! I used all these same components except I used an Aorus 1080ti

[@InsCevo]

Thanks for the great video, it helped me a lot!

[@curbyapiehl]

What setup do you guys use for audio? Your sound/editing is amazing.

[@RoxszingaID]

good lord! i was about to picked the same proc + motherboard + water cooler + gpu and memory. thanks !

[@Fiberzs]

actually like this guy :O

[@dameNSK]

This video was amazing man great work

[@dusk6110]

I've been wondering.. where do the finished builds go? because I'd gladly take any of your guys' builds :p

[@gjorgjiz]

Read some concerns about heat issues with that Phanteks case. Any comments? BTW, the case looks great.

[@Tenturo]

What are you grounded to with your anti-static wristband? Always curious as to where when I watch these builds.

[@Adam-rt7lp]

@PCPartPicker Nice Video, what screw driver are using could you post a link please

[@robleisner6141]

Heya! Thanks for the vid! Question: At 2:05 you said you've already applied your adhesive tape to the backing plate. Ummm... what adhesive tape??? It's not in the manual, there was none in the box, it's not mentioned in any other install guides I can find, but the plate certainly LOOKS like it should have something there, and the once I screw in the mounting screws, it is really loose, which makes me think something should definitely be there. So, what is it? Where is it? Why don't I have it? Where do I get it? What can I use instead? I basically won't install my Corsair H115i to my i7-7700K in my Gaming 9 mobo until I feel comfortable knowing it is safe to do so.

[@jamesgray9303]

Rob Leisner I had the exact same problem a few days ago. It turned out thermaltake didn't pack half of the hardware for the kit had to return it and get a new one. Second set had everything

[@etacarinae725]

Man thak you!!!!! i was looking for a video on how to build with the same components !

[@lucassena801]

Best technology channel, and I'm from Brazil.

[@LiquidDivinium]

hey pcpartpicker nice video and will there be a sale soon?

[@jon2sqr667]

I heard him give a big thanks for gigabyte providing the motherboard, the graphics card, and the PROCESSOR...

[@allthatyouhate4644]

I notice you are using a Plextor M.2 SSD in this build. Are there any lesser brands you could recommend with this motherboard. On a budget. Thanks.

[@antoinemondange4121]

Thank you for the tutorial. Which model of screws do you use to screw the motherboard in the box ? Thank you.

[@darius6078]

Nice video Man rly Nice to watch :)

[@flashlightfreek]

Sweet! Thank you Ryan!!!

[@jnck206]

could you make a vid on what to do after you build? a lot of people do build vids but don't show what needs to be done afterward

[@kirkland_Reid]

Thank you. I wanted a build for that case and you gave it to me. One question. I was thinking of getting a 750 power supply. Is that too much?

[@dhiren_joshi]

Kirkland Reid there really is never a too much

[@ericpickup2136]

wish u would of showed how the RGBW lights went in the motherboard i got the same case and cpu and motherboard great video other then not showing how the led lights was put in

[@jackfolloway3354]

Check out the cable management video linked in the description. We show connecting the RGBW LED strip in that video.

[@DRacer90]

I love that Phanteks case

[@giangvu7902]

That's a beautiful build!

[@makegaminggreatagain3907]

That looks like a nice mobo even if it has white accents I heard the mobo runs hot though and there is no much room for over clocking on it though?

[@fall3nOnE76]

I just love watching ur pc builds mayb cus its impossible for me to afford a good pc yet 😅

[@ngavengmirimai310]

Hi Ryan, Which MoBo do you prefer more Aorus Z270 Gaming 7 or MSI Z270 Pro Gaming Carbon?

[@TheSaipher]

great video imma use it on my next build :] thank you

[@Exitof99]

Can that honkin' big plastic piece over the I/O area be removed? I looked at images of the back, but can't tell it is it riveted to the board or not. I'm doing a build for this board and have everything but the board, but realize that the 240mm Thermaltake Water 3.0 would not fit in the case with that plastic piece on the board. I really don't want to buy another ATX case.

[@kvpham]

Where would be a good place to put the 2 temperature probe that came with the mobo? kind of hanging near the mobo or taped onto specific hardwares?

[@fawncashew]

Hmmm, since you are using an evolve case, I assume this will soon be a featured Build? :P

[@yurimaged888]

wow thx for helping me for making my new pc and i subed

[@nicholas6951]

Hey Ryan how do you like the NZXT s340 elite?

[@ronaldinhosmv]

Asus maximum ix formula z270 + asus strix gtx 1080+ memories G-skill trident z rgb +I7 7700K.

[@theaxelerator_]

Hello! May I ask you something ? Why all the new casses don't have room to put an optical drive?

[@jakekaufmann2937]

Just about to build my PC. Where should I ground my ESD wrist strap to? Will a plugged in, turned off PSU work?

[@mexel9342]

Can you guys do a build with phanteks iTX evolve please with Z270i

[@topbanana8438]

im confused he says put the lead from water block to the fan header ??? you mean the cpu cooler pump to the opt header!! the fans on rad are in the fan header directly above the opt header for water block pump

[@finidorisamuel3098]

awesome computer setting

[@maverikshooter]

My computer spec is very close. Asus ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING , Intel Core i7-7700K, Corsair Dominator 16GB 3600MHz. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080. Corsair HX750i. Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX. Samsung 960 PRO. 1TB SATA 7200. And ASUS 4K monitor.

[@misssrubie]

That's a cute build.

[@160384Stig]

No info on DIMM orientation & fan push/pull directions could cause newbs some issues! Otherwise a decent, no nonsense video!

[@pbjstudios6202]

Do you have to put the thermal putty on the processor when using these types of radiator or did I miss you doing that?

[@jackfolloway3354]

Yes, you do still use thermal paste. Unfortunately, we didn't show the bottom side of the CPU block in this video but Ryan mentions @7:30 that the cooler has pre-applied thermal paste when he removes the protective cover. It turns out, we used this cooler once before, which is the reason it didn't get shown here. You can watch the previous build with this cooler to see the same cooler, showing the pre-applied thermal paste: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iam7f5qnrbFmfa8

[@MzMunhoz]

perfect video edition.

[@Snuckelie]

Will this setup be good if I install it into a NZXT S340 elite (vr ready)? Will the liquid cooler mentioned in this video be compatible or can I install a Kraken instead? Is it VR ready aswell or I do not need since case is vr ready itself? Moreover is it better to have an SSD HDD? Thanks would really help me in my build

[@connorwalls.]

That's one sexy mobo ... like the Asus z170 but more solid ... need one for my white build

[@erolramacik2627]

Hey can I ask you something about the socket of Ram. Why you installed RAM's into Number 1 and Number 2 because the number of sockets goes from right to left like 1-3-2-4

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

Question. Why do you have cable connected on hand?

[@eversor55]

Its an anti static wrist band with a grounding cable. Its designed to protect components against an unfortunate static charge that might build up.

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

How charge is building up in turned off computer? Thank you.

[@Meqanich]

xXSilentAgent47Xx what

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

Electricity doesn't have in turned off computer, so the question is pretty simple. HOW does electricity have in turned off computer? Wrist band seems pointless when computer is off.

[@ravinchowdhury5215]

If you're electrically charged, (if you've walked on a carpet or something) it will cause static discharge from your body to the motherboard which can damage the components. So you use an anti static wrist band so you're electrically neutral to prevent any damage to the computer

[@Debanjanepiskey]

great

[@onlyarturo]

I use this video to assemble my first pc , and Damm was hard... it took me only 6 hours...

[@Goryglory0209]

Would love like the old vids you did together like in the Corsair 460x.. This seems boring

[@Quicken2k]

Will you do an AMD build when Ryzen comes out?.

[@vanessafromoptus1373]

Can the fans from the cpu cooler also be used to cool the case, basically replacing normal fans for intake?

[@DeathsDoorCollector]

Does the RGB light on the Thermaltake radiator sync in any way with the Aorus Gaming 7 app?

[@marioescalante710]

I have 2 silly questions. I am planning on buying this motherboard: 1. Why did he not use any thermal paste when connecting the cooling fans to the CPU? If I buy the Kraken x52 would I need to use any? 2. If the computer case that I buy has no cd driver slot how would I install the drivers? thanks in advance!

[@dhiren_joshi]

Mar Esca For the first one, yes you would have to. For the second one, use a USB drive. Having an internal CD drive is not reccomend, as it's practically useless right now. Get a external one if you need it. The case doesn't come with it, you have to buy it.

[@alexutu9715]

What slot and the one where there written 67wf8 where there the card black-pink-white?. On my PC ce one equal to your only that CE written ULTRA M. 2

[@TheTitan2025]

What camera and lens are you using?

[@logodedalo]

Hi, PCPartPicker, maybe, someone already asked this, but here we go: I am curious about that message which appears as a note, on your website: "The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled." It is no big deal, right? Specially, if you have 6 ports like it is the case here. But why some high-end (and expensive) motherboards show this message?

[@Wingmeal]

Because there are a limited number of PCI lanes for storage, gpus etc to use. Any motherboard has this. And 4 sata ports is enough for any normal user (1 M.2 SSD, 1 2.5 inch SSD, 2 3.5 inch HDDs).

[@mikes2687]

Adriano Sousa just like the other guy says ur cpu has so many lanes it can use. i lose 4 sata ports on my gaming 7 board if i use m.2 in first port. then non in 2nd m.2

[@logodedalo]

Thank you, Mike and Alex. I understand that, the question is why some mobos don't show this message: like the MSI Carbon X99 (U$299,00) doesn't show it, for example. Well, again, I know its a complicated example. But there are less expensive ones, the mini itx Asus Z170I PRO GAMING, whenever you mount a pc on PCPartPicker website it doesn't show the message. Does it?

[@godgavemestyle980]

So this mobo has 5.1 audio channel can it support 7.1 headset via usb? (i made my own research and saw that via usb headsets has its own audio chipset and doesnt use motherboards) but i need to make sure that it can support 7.1 audio channel, any answer appreciated :)

[@zakiatmani4614]

i'm just wondering what's that cable atached to your hand ??

[@yongsavya9506]

Hi bro can you slowly and clearly when connect the cable to the motherboard .coz I want to know it clearly especially whit Asus z370-E gaming .thank beforehand.

[@bobkg2121]

what about the thermistor cables - what did you do with those?

[@greatribman1]

what do you guys do with all the PC builds? send them back once your done building them?

[@Wingmeal]

Yes. they're just sent the parts for review.

[@velardejp4479]

Can I use skylake cpu's on z270 motherboards? (mITX boards for z170's are kinda poop coz they're all black and red and I already bought my 6600k so I wanted to see if I can use that on z270 boards since they have more neutral colours and better specs.)

[@pensierodifferente5267]

you are very good to show how to do it !!! but there are so meny cables....................... too much

[@jigwig8649]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting this mobo soon, and I would like to know are you able to change the light colors on it? Thanks

[@johannesthiele8]

Orange Shark yes every single rgb led, in bios, desktop application or an app for your mobile device

[@luiscano957]

Are the fans on the radiator pushing or pulling air?

[@qkspyder6842]

i always wondered about the gpu in terms how it fit in the case that it would break when shipping and stuff like that, is that possible?

[@MrJonesy77350]

you should really start doing os installs. that's just as important as the actual build

[@WPL410]

that is the part you look up, he doesn't do that because that would mean he would have to spend an extra $200 dollars on the os that he is NOT sponsoring.

[@Capris9x]

I have the Z270X Gaming 7 motherboard and I was wondering which cooler to buy that would actually fit on the motherboard. I've tried an Antec Kuhler 1250 and the capacitors on the motherboard were in the way of the cooler, which left me very confused...

[@dhiren_joshi]

Capris I'm sure if you used a known Brand's cooler, it should fit.

[@stefanManiak262011]

I assemble a PC...but when I shutdown the PC the CPU fan and the rest of fans are remaining still on..and the motherboard looks like it has still power on it, because the small LED lights are on. Do u think is the motherboard's fault...I have an Asus prime z270-p or the power supply (it is an xilence xp730r8 with 730watts)?

[@davejones542]

I am building a PC exactly to this specification. However I stuck on the below. So I am looking for your advise as to specifically which two motherboard headers I should use for this thermaltake cooler it is not clear on the video. Thermaltake supply two connectors to go to motherboard - one connector wire for the pump and one connector wire from the thermaltake supplied fan hub . On the Gigabyte motherboard there seem to be three connectors that I might use, "CPU_FAN", "CPU_OPT" and "SYS_FAN5_PUMP" - but I may have this incorrect hence this question! The cooler pump has 3pin connector; the cooler fan hub has 4 pin connector. so which two specific motherboard headers do I plug the wire from the thermaltake pump and the which do I plug the wire from the thermatake fan hub. thank you.

[@sluggishcat80]

Hello, hopefully you've resolved your issue and haven't had any problems with the motherboard. I come to ask you if you recommend the motherboard as i am building a computer similar to yours. Thank you for your time

[@davejones542]

It is a very good motherboard

[@ovrpowered_skilllz6966]

what's the difference between this board and the gaming K7?

[@danknasty661]

that what ive been trying to find out

[@davejones542]

me too

[@freespace303]

The K7 doesn't have thunderbolt.

[@The_Absurdistt]

one of many reasons I bought this mobo is for connecting one of my audio recording interfaces via Thunderbolt.

[@ihatedwang]

A bit old, but you can always compare motherboards on the companies website. Just glancing through, you lose usb c, a few random functions/ monitoring stuff, different audio (sound blaster vs Realtek).

[@juanpablomejia8276]

I have the same board but I only have 1 ram memory. Which of these two is the most optimal slot for this?

[@muhanad786]

Would a Noctua NH D15 work with this build instead of the Thermaltake? space wise

[@krazeydrippz1155]

I was wondering if I was able to put a hv100i in this instead of the liquid cooler and change the factory fans

[@ItzJiyo_]

hi i have a question....is it worth upgrading to a z270 board from a z170 board? cause ive been wanting to upgrade my board cause its a 2nd hand board i have doubt that its kinda getting slow....and i have a 6600k soo will the z270 board will run the 6600k perfectly ? cause ive been told that the z270 board is for kaby lake processors only and i know that the sky lake and kaby lake processors have the same socket type but some say that a skylake processor cant run perfectly on a z270 board? is it really true?...and im wondering if do i really need to buy a 7600k i5 processor or should i stick with my 6600k? thanks!!

[@joerodriguez7334]

YOSEFU from all the reading i have done your 6600k will work with the z270.

[@ItzJiyo_]

Thanks man!! ive already bought the z270 board ang im happy with it!!
