My Workstation PC Was Embarrassing!!

[@dcamatrix]

Great to see you back up loading vids..

[@darren253]

Welcome back. Lets hope more videos coming

[@falcon_three_fifty]

I never thought about the efficiency rating being different for different mains voltages. I learned something new today. Thanks, Lauren. :)

[@biquiba]

Me too. I also was surprised how you can look after DRAM latency in PC Partpicker as an alternative for looking for both frequency and timings.

[@gordon9821]

Damn, I did not expect this video to be as informative in so many areas of PC hardware as it was. I love seeing the struggle of figuring out how to combine new hardware with old parts.

Oh wow thank you so much for the Cybenetics info. I never thought about how efficiency ratings could be made for only one input Voltage....

[@delsorou]

This is an extremely well engineered build, with exacting component selection backed by a clear confidence of knowledge and experience. From compensating for specifics of the case and platform through to adjusting memory voltages to stabilize a slight overclock, she spits facts and knowledge without batting an eyelash. Even though that could be done for good effect, because they are nice lashes, and there are also ruffles, and curls. This is amazing content and we need more. :)

[@ItsElvis56]

Simple is best. Something about going back to basics with a PC build feels nostalgic, informative, and enjoyable. Welcome back Lauren!

[@QW3RTYUU]

So relaxing. I was sick all weekend and seeing you handle around these parts and explaining your process is so soothing. Thanks for the upload!

[@ryantonks4363]

Very informative highlighting the PSU efficiency ratings between different voltages, something which a lot of channels do not cover. Good video!

Welcome back! Edit: That rabbit hole thou. Tbh I was ashamed I never checked for the difference. Just went on a little hunt myself, but realized my PSU is safe for 230v in the Platinum category on Cybernetics 230v. :D So thank you for reminding us again in the video and a very beautiful build.

[@NotMagnusCarlsen7082]

Very nice build. Glad you were able to reuse the case as it looks very sharp.

i just came across a video of yours in my feed that u uploaded 11 years ago, your still going! nice one

That would be amazing. Even better if they could accidentally ship me an ASUS x Noctua RTX 4080 SUPER! hehe

[@xPhantomxify]

@@TastyPC I don't mind one either, hehe

[@coolcat23]

[@jasonsaez3668]

Wow, Lauren you really just got the best GPU length for that case! Love the info on the PSU ratings too! I’ll have to keep an eye out for that in the USA! Great video as always! Cheers!!!

[@ephjaymusic]

That's a really nice compact build. I love the somewhat plain, but simple and organized aesthetic.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Nice video. Nice upgrade. Yes Cybenetics is a newer standards for PSU's - it might get more adapted after it's been out longer. Maybe the 2 standards could maybe merge and come up with a newer more robust set of ratings. Keep up the good work in these well done videos.

[@jb31842]

One of the benefits of a modular power supply that I don't hear mentioned often is that if you switch to a new PSU that uses the same cables, you can replace it without having to rewire your entire case. So if you decide to make the jump to that as-yet unreleased PSU, you'd only have to route the newer 12V cable for the GPU instead of the whole system.

[@marknewellmusic]

The reason it isn't mentioned often is because you can never trust PSU brands as there is no guarantee that the pin-outs are the same for PSUs - even same brand doesn't mean its safe.

[@coolcat23]

@@marknewellmusic Corsair publishes tables showing which cables are compatible with which PSU model. It is not as problematic as you make it out to be.

[@shannonoshea644]

Definitely missed the pc build videos!! Great to see one always learn something new 😁

huge PC upgrade! sort of interested in thermals but really like the way it came out!

Have missed you heaps Lauren! Looking forward to more content in 2024! Keep up the great work that you do!

[@MartinHiggs84]

Great video hopefully you make a monthly one atleast. Your voice makes it a relaxing watch whilst taking in your views on a dull winter UK evening.

[@NexusEight]

I learnt something - watch out for power supply rating as a function of local voltage. THank you ! I love the case and its fundamental cooling concept. What is the brand/name of it?

[@TastyPC]

It's a Cooler Master SL600M, but it's discontinued now. It had plenty of room for even the largest of GPUs when it was designed, but doesn't anymore.

[@NexusEight]

Thanks@@TastyPC

[@tmantactical]

Is there something similar being made now? The "wind tunnel" is an awesome idea that's come to my mind occasionally ever since your original vid @@TastyPC

[@buhizkewl7105]

So looking forward to seeing your amazingly constructed videos include more maker stuff!

[@briandean1000]

I went all new parts for a build. Using water cooling now. I might change to air cooling.

[@AirzGamingTTV]

[@TheLateral18]

Why such a big os drive.. That psu looks really nice Happy to see another upload

[@BAD_CONSUMER]

I think if you fail at a project it's still worthy of an upload. Most channel content is just secondary to the personality presenting it.

[@Lotuseless]

As a fellow SL600M owner myself, it was quite entertaining to watch you struggle with that beautiful and big yet very space restricted case. I managed to fit 3090 FE in it, leaving maybe two milimeters of space between the card and PSU shroud. If that wasn't enough, I also mounted a 360mm radiator on top, with 6 fans in push/pull configuration. As for PSU, I went with Seasonic Focus ATX 3.0 which is only 140mm in length which is set to the lowest position so that AIO tubes don't collide with it. It's been working quite decent although I'm heavily considering swapping the 200 mm fans for something more powerful, Noctua sadly won't do as those fans have very similar performance to stock CM fans. I absolutely love this case but i wish it was a little bigger on the inside.

[@darrenhitchcox6345]

I did love the 200mm fan concept and after seeing your original video, looked at the same case, but none were available. I ended up going with Cooler Master Haf 700 evo and have 2x 200mm in front and 2x 200mm in top with 400 x 200 radiator. The cooling is epic and the pc is near silent

[@Immutablenw]

I'm about to do a build using the Fractal Torrent and I'm going to hopefully successfully mod it to get 4 of these 200mm noctua fans on it.

[@darrenhitchcox6345]

[@Immutablenw]

I love this Case and Wind Tunnel you've built. I recently watched the original build videos, because I'm really interested in using those 200mm noctuas. I'm thinking of doing a small mod to get them to fit myself, due to the confidence you gave me to attempt it! So glad to see it getting an upgrade!

[@rowdydog]

Those updates look great in that case. Thanks for the PSU rating explanation, it never occured to me to consider different voltages in the rating.

[@Bruno_Amaro]

[@CelesteHawthorne]

Hey Lauren, it's Yoga from GEEKOM, a marketer representing a company that's been eco-friendly mini PCs strong for 13 years, partnering with heavyweights like Intel and ASUS. Truth be told, I reached out to propose a paid video collab, but couldn't find your email, so here I am leaving you a message instead-hope that's cool! I caught wind of your post on Patreon last year, and I gotta say: Hey there, Little Lauren! We get it, this creator biz ain't no cakewalk, especially in the marketing world. But girl, props for your honesty and perseverance! Falling short on upload plans doesn't diminish your efforts one bit. Setting a goal of 12 videos for TastyPC in 2024 is mighty impressive, and we're all about backing you up on that. Go get 'em!🌹🌹

With three dogs and two cats, my PC looks like your before pic right after I first turn it on. You'd probably be horrified to see it now. (I'm kinda terrified to open it up myself, TBH. Cooling performance be damned! 😅) Nice, clean-looking build you have there. Thanks for the bit about power efficiency ratings. I live in the US, but mixing and matching of those badges does still present a problem I didn't know about. 👍

[@matthewday7565]

Normally, efficiency is higher at 230V as the PFC isn't lifting the voltage as much, but the requirements are also higher

[@vavanjukebox7137]

Now, I willl check what cybenetics says about PSU. It's always an adventure when you want to build a strong and nice looking PC. Thanks Lauren to share your adventures.

[@whssy]

Some useful info in this about PSU ratings. Thanks.

[@toseltreps1101]

RAM clearance can be so frustrating with some builds. I did one in a NR200 and found that i would have to remove the heatspreader on the first slot even with LPX modules.

[@LBM180]

Silver lining of a system with Cobb webs in it: it’s a sign of a very well built system that didn’t need to be opened up for anything.

[@mexisnake]

I didn't know about the cybernetics ratings, checked and they haven't tested my PSU :/ Great idea on the case fans, thought about doing something similar when i first saw the mac pro redesign, strongly considering it instead of water cooling whenever I can afford to build a new PC. Sick video!

[@maximillanconan942]

Welcome back darling, I've been missing your beautiful voice..😊

[@ktabbas1]

Nice to hear from you

[@TheGrace020]

Awesome build grabbing some ideas for my future build 😼

[@JamesCusano]

Interesting note about the advertised efficiencies being regionally dependent on voltage; I also learned recently there can be large differences in listed efficiencies at idle versus load, which can be pretty important given that PCs spend more time at idle than at load. Why the choice of 1000W versus 750W, though? Just in case you ever want to upgrade to a 4090-level GPU in the future?

[@anonymoususer7985]

I believe that the cpu cooler orientation has been tested in this case and it was found that normal orientation of the cooler performed the best Recommend the Cooler Master V3 vertical mount as you can put the mount further down the pci slots for clearance of psu cover

[@peterpeter5666]

just built an i5 14600k with 64 gigs ddr5 at 6400 with an rx7900xtx . i mounted the gpu vertically . Looks better and with weight of gpu now , less chance of warping. Might upgrade to an i9 later on but for now its plenty fast for what i do and stays cool !

[@GoWstingray]

Wow Tasty PC, thank you for opening my eyes about the PSU ratings, ive only really splashed out on Gold recently but next time i'll be checking. Thanks great video.

[@bosskey7212]

holy moly you are back woo hoo!!! its so nice to hear that voice again :))))))

[@tibbydudeza]

A funny CPU cooler orientation (North South - vs East West) - surely the fans should be in direction of case airflow and the weird power supply location ??? I got the pop mini air and while compact the layout makes more sense to me - power supply at the bottom.

[@TastyPC]

The way I have it mounted is in the direction of case airflow. The east and west side of my PC case is a solid metal panel with no fans.

[@tibbydudeza]

​@@TastyPC Okay I missed the fans at the top and bottom - interesting approach - only seen that in watercooling - I got a big Deepcool AK620 and don't think it will fit in that orientation.

[@veritanuda]

Great video and yeah PSUs are needlessly complicated. That being said, FSP are a great brand and used in a lot of server builds. I have come across dozens of them as hot swappable supplies so I would trust them in a PC build easily. At least you did not get moss growing at the bottom of the case. I kid you not, it can happen!

[@MrFreeroamer1968]

Great informative video as always Lauren. Thankyou ❤

[@TheOrientalHero]

I don't do any video editing and the most stressful thing I do on my PC is gaming on a 2k monitor, so perhaps I don't see the need for 64GB of RAM. I'm 32GB and it stays around 50% utilised.... what kind of usage does video editing add to RAM usage? It's probably dependent on the resolution of the videos and I can see you're going the 4K! And thanks for the PSU certification info especially to watch out for the 230V ratings!

[@Puppetslayer]

Taaaaaaaasty!!! So good to see you!

[@xxshiftywolfxxgaming1142]

Why do vertical cpu cooler orientation. You’re pulling the radiating heat from the GPUs backplate. Not to mention the little airflow it’s going to get because of the minimal space between the fan and the back plate

[@lustfulscholar1199]

Omg this is great! Another tastyPC video! 😊

[@RanenPo]

I bought a 2TB Teamgroup MP34 for Boxing Day - had been holding off on a storage upgrade, had ~100GB free on my 1TB drives but with SSD prices already increasing I figured I should just bite the bullet and upgrade sooner rather than later when prices would be significantly higher

[@arbiter1]

One thing to seriously consider if buying something like Thermalright anti bending fasten to replace intels stock ILM to hold the cpu in. The stock intel design tends to cause cpu to slightly bend so you have a low spot in the middle. Thermal grizzly also makes one as well.

[@falcon_three_fifty]
