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.

[@delsorou8279]

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. :)

[@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.

[@HuyV]

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....

[@ItsElvis56]

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

A treat from the Nigella Lawson of PC builds .....

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!

[@FaySmash]

Very nice camera work Lauren! Just hope ASUS will forget about their GPU 😬

[@TastyPC]

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]

@@TastyPC There is a KZbin channel that presented a 3D-printed adapter frame that allows one to attach two Noctua fans to many graphics cards. Very cool project!

[@enerjustics]

Welcome back! Had no idea about the PSU ratings being affected by the voltage 🤯 Thank you, learnt a lot

[@ryantonks4363]

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

[@GhostAreReal6]

As a UK Viewer I've never heard such a relaxing voice 🥰

[@uguessuguess]

keep it coming, your editing and presentation are quality. take great pride in that. glad to see regular uploads again!

[@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.

[@jamescampbell6728]

This was always one of my favorite build! Happy to see it again

[@stevenswadel]

Awesome Lauren. Your build is so clean. Video editing on point!

[@MrTwisted003]

You have come a long way. I remember your beginnings, and you sound like a pro now... awesome! You have so much more confidence when speaking now compared to when you started. Glad to see you're still doin your thing.

[@SuicideNeil]

Sweet rebuild- I rebuilt my pc a few days ago with new mobo/ram/storage/cpu, I envy the cooling set up you have and how much room there is; I have a heavily modded Acer Predator case ( dream case for me ) but even after cutting away a lot of unnecessary metal inside ( SAS drive bay is now a 120mm fan for intake ) it's still cramped. On the upside I'm loving having a 4TB M.2 drive for os and storage, so much tidier and faster compared to HDDs.

[@alphatonic1481]

Yay you're back. I missed you with your calm voice and direct approach. Also no background music thank you for that.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@teh_jibbler]

Great detective work. Thanks for the video! I appreciate the extra effort you put in to make sure they are good.

[@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.

[@shannonoshea644]

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

[@justcynical6590]

realy cool up down airflow config. very unique and it actually does make a lot of sense.

[@RanenPo]

Wow that really was a rabbit hole with the PSU certifications hahaha

[@AndyMac508]

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

[@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

[@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!🌹🌹

[@davidminor1254]

I love watching your videos Lauren especially when they include Noctua products

[@Dodovacer]

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.

[@McTroyd]

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. 👍

[@FYI9102]

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

[@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.

[@timchambers55]

Great to see you back and I hope you're keeping well! Looking forward to watching the content in the pipeline :)

[@JCSWW]

It's so nice to hear your voice again and get a new PC video from you, Lauren! Welcome back!

[@ephjaymusic]

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

[@Devastator0]

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

[@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.

[@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]

[@briandean1000]

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

[@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!

[@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.

Your videos about these 200mm Noctua lads have got me shopping for cases that support these lol. Right now I’m considering the Lian Li V3000+, as there’s a company selling them on Amazon and eBay new in box for 200$ US with free shipping, and it supports 2 200mm fans up top and like 12 120mm fans everywhere else hahahaha

[@socaldayve6684]

You've probably thought of this already, but getting a GPU riser would create the perfect excuse to also get one of the Noctua GPUs to match that build. 😈😁

[@ktabbas1]

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

[@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

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 !

[@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!

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!
