Thermaltake The Tower 900: Kaby Lake Build [Part 2] The Build Begins!

[@Aseapia]

Nice jam.

[@ealep0314]

bro this is literally the song they played in the movie theater bathroom today

[@KelvinKMS]

Best tutorial I have ever seen !!!

[@TheGreatNathan]

wow its now free of nvidia green, im excited to see how far will it overclock under water:)

[@MoneyMaking861]

Not much more than air, Pascal is limited to voltage not heat.

[@gplayer8654]

Wow what a build. Where do you connect the 2 pumps to the motherboard ?

[@Hardwareunboxed]

These pumps are to power hungry for that, they connect using 4-pin molex connectors.

[@hazonku]

Doing almost the exact same build! Thanks for the videos! They're helping me out big time!!!

[@LakerTriangle]

@3:51 Why not have the block logo the same direction as the mobo? With dual loops the in/out orientation doesn't matter much.

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Doing that would have wreaked the look of the pipes as they would be stacked rather than side by side.

[@John-dr7qz]

I've been looking for a good water cooling time lapse and a thermaltake the tower build. dope.

[@agrya3840]

use this with an rtx 3090 and amd threadripper as that syteam would be very warm

[@ichigouzumaki324]

The build is looking nice so far, I can't wait to see the finish build. I would've put the CPU and the water block, RAM and M.2 on the MB before placing it in the case. I think you had to remove the drive cages to put in the last two remaining screws of the CPU water block. I noticed you had a hard time putting the 2 screws in the video, and on those you had some clearance for the installation.

[@Hardwareunboxed]

+Ichigo Uzumaki Yeah that is how I would do it off camera. This is more dramatic ;) Thanks for watching and giving feedback mate!

[@rokudrifter]

that case is awesome, makes me want to home make a case.

[@iamjon1986]

im gonna build my first cpu. is an anti static mat necessary? i see youre not using one. Great build btw

[@Klaudius_yt]

Nice build man, but why no thermal pads between gpu and wb?

[@Synthematix]

This is the best tower900 video on youtube, the picture quality is outstanding too, very well done, i'm getting the white version of this chassis with a Ryzen 7, 1700.

[@EvilNinetales]

It looks fantastic but the issue I find is why did you use triple rad. It can house two 560mm / 4x140mm rads on each side.

[@tahsin28]

No 2017 Custom loop build is great without Thermaltake rgb fittings. I mean it, not sarcastic. Really love them

[@Hardwareunboxed]

100% agreed, not sarcastic. Sadly they don't work with the opaque coolant.

[@tahsin28]

Hardware Unboxed I see

[@roocrew86]

Dude that is a wicked build!! 👍 I agree re price thats actually not bad for what u get

[@QuantumBraced]

What's funny is that you can have the exact same specs in a case literally 15 times smaller and nothing would overheat.

[@Hardwareunboxed]

That's not the point though is it, The Tower 900 is a display case.

[@QuantumBraced]

Agreed. It's all about the presentation, though some badass hardware would also help to impress the audience. Great proof of concept though.

[@DonJawier]

Great work! I am looking fordward to seeing the following part!

[@mikeyp5130]

Your good with your hands Steve! You make it look easy. Good luck with the tubes dude!!! Cheers!

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Really cool! A pleasure to watch.

[@shotkall8822]

Can this case be good for only air cooling and not liquid cooling ?

[@Ghettochild.2600]

Will this fit two 560mm radiators? It looks like it will, both sides are exactly the same for radiator clearance, but on the site is says 560mm for one side and 480mm on the other?

[@tsargaming4740]

To this day I don't know where you connect the monitor to the gpu lol is it the top or the back

[@Kjhlai]

Did you have any issues with the Coolant turning into white powder or sandy like look, or at any point in time where the water blocks are being clogged up?

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Nah, Salazar did something wrong I would say. I have been using this stuff for 8 months now in multiple systems and it's all like the day I put it in.

[@SerDerpALot2015]

did you have to buy cable expansions to reach the psu? or from the motherboard to the hard drives?

[@superheracross89]

I prefer black ice rads, mayhams coolent, and bitspower and ekwb and aquacomputer

[@koreanfriedchildren]

Love the build mate, I watched this last night before I went to sleep and full on had a dream about it hahaha I'm keen to get this case!

[@iamarya2k21]

Awesome video Steve :) Loved the build so far great job!

[@disabledhero5498]

Dude where did you get those mountain brackets from I think I messed up I purchased the d5 photon 270 pump Rez combo and can not mount them in the case it's the same case you have please help

[@sudabadri7051]

noice beat mayyte

[@Brandon_Neil]

I didn't see any thermal paste when you put on the water block for the cpu..

[@Hardwareunboxed]

+Brandon Neil Look again ;)

[@EchoBlaque]

Two rads and only once graphics card? I figured it would use two, but that's just me assuming. Looking good so far, please keep up the great vids!

[@badalpatial7780]

lets do it

[@peterbrown1495]

It is not clear from your video how to connect the two case fans, I have almost the same hardware but my motherboard is Gigabyte Aorus Z270X-Gaming 9. The fans have 3 pin sockets and the motherboard has 4 pin fan headers, please can you help.

[@sylermran]

you should be able to plug them in and work

[@JorgeMurio]

Nice but without SLI it will look empty

[@clywie3767]

Is the reservoir have a built in pump?

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Yes the reservoir sits on top of the pump.

[@nischaysaha3708]

I am a newbie, so can any one tell wether the screws on motherboard and other part are within the respective package or we have to buy them

[@samuelkline4944]

Only suggestion is to install casters on that beast. I have a Core X9 in which I placed 3 XSPC RX480 rads and due to weight I found casters from Apollo Caster company that were EXACT mount plate match ups for the Core X9 mounting holes. Much easier to move.

[@amadorbautistajr591]

Can I Put two power supply there?

[@kiekk]

Where’d u get those blue Nd black cables

[@ZeroAlytus]

i don't like hard tubing , they look unsafely . Soft tubing need a lot strenght mount on hose fitting

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Hard tubing is better in pretty much every way, the only downside being it's not practical for changing hardware and it's worlds harder to install! :)

[@ZeroAlytus]

Hard tubing look nice but i afraid leak ( this thing stop me change my soft tubing loop). You just put hard tube in fitting , and just couple rubbers prevents leak

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Hard pipe when done correctly is less prone to leaks than soft tubes.

[@TheNationalRealEstatePost]

what tubes are those at 5:00 mins in?

[@BlueManatee]

You should do 1070s in sli that would really be awesome! That case is gunna weigh like 100lbs when you're done lol! Great work this is gunna be awesome!

[@allupro]

Maaad, why don't you ever delid your CPUs tho?

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Haven't really found the need till Kaby Lake, so I will soon.

[@allupro]

Alright, cool! Will you be making a video on it?

[@eanaidnik6453]

What are the name of the parts? Please let me know bc I'm lost on my own pc

Absolutely loving these videos! Can't wait for part 3, but also please MOAARRR build videos like this

[@Teh509]

I see you graduated from the Intel school of applying TIM, I jest. Nice vid thanks.

[@Synthematix]

Im glad i didnt order the black version of this chassis now, the white looks so much better, and will distribute the led light better as well. but here's a friendly tip, rinse the radiators before use to get rid of the microscopic metal particles, these can discolor the tubing and water

[@karirium6574]

Loving the quality of the videos you have and I cant wait for the finished product.

[@NoahBB]

The build looks awesome so far Steve, great work! I absolutely can't wait to see the final product!

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Thanks mate, I think you will like the final product then! I'm already planning future upgrades :D

[@douglaszhu3647]

did you forget to put thermal paste on the cpu????

[@Hardwareunboxed]

:) it's on the CPU, check again I ninja'd it on there.

[@douglaszhu3647]

ahh ok i see it now :)

[@NoBlemish]

lol I thought the same thing, but it's there. Just ordered this pc case in black for my Ryzen build (Black/Orange/Red theme).

[@DerMitWieWoOhneNamen]

Nice color theme. I'm sure that will look amazing

[@IIIXJannikXIIIDE]

do I have to mount the motherboard that way??

[@sylermran]

late reply but with this case yes

[@razvandamian3286]

After all this time are you still excited when building a new rig?

[@stormchiwawa4370]

Power Supply Thermaltake Toughpower RGB 850W use ?

[@eskimolost2012]

Tower 900 vs pc o11 air with watercooling

[@fendularatsq2317]

part 3 cant come soon enough!

[@the1truking]

I've been wrecking my brain on how to connect the radiator and fans to the grill on the side. I have the exact same setup and kit but the screws from the radiator and fans just aren't long enough to connect both. How did you setup those? Thanks in advance

[@OLDM4N-DE]

Just out of curiosity, since I really like how that tower looks, any chance this will might as well run with traditional air cooling (no water cooling) as well any good, given the amount of fans I could put in there ? Really interested in this.

[@RetroBerner]

Better at 2x speed :)

[@joshucoolable]

the thermal paste?

[@gamingunboxed5130]

The type used? You aren't giving us much to go on here...

[@joshucoolable]

you don't use thermal paste on the cpu block?

[@gamingunboxed5130]

Yeah I put it on the CPU :D

[@gamingunboxed5130]

I ninja'd it on there!

[@joshucoolable]

Oh sorry I didn't see it :D Happy Australia Day btw!

[@scottnguyen6776]

I was wondering if I could use soft tubing and where can I find/ get one that fits with the water cooling system? @Hardware Unboxed

[@Akash77133]

u make great great videos no doubt but ur videos doesnt get that much views. u should use custom thumbnails on ur videos that will attract people and u will get more views. #best_benchmarking_channel_ever :)

[@SKRlTY]

Looks amazing, great job!

[@chanyung666]

In 2017 I find your lack of RGB disturbing. I need my bling.

[@gamingunboxed5130]

The radiator fans are RGB :) Also with room the spare I'm going to throw a pair of Corsair K95 RGB Platinum keyboards in there for some added bling! ;)

[@ichigouzumaki324]

The radiators are in the trunk out of sight, their lights won't be seen except if you look at the case from the sides... Make sure you put the K95 keyboards on the front of the reservoirs -_-

[@warchander5376]

😄

[@gctdonyre]

Imagine what SingularityComputers can do with this massive case with full custom wiring and paint job.

[@dragonfruit9726]

Can someone help me out? I'm trying to look into these more but I want to know if these are compatible. I'm buying these off Amazon and Amazon is sometimes crappy with it's information.

[@knr379]

Dragon Fruit should be but what are you cooling it with

[@reyzo_9968]

The Tower 900 was created because a very talanted french modder named "Sassanou" did a mod ("The tower"). It was based on the Thermaltake Core X9 and he turned the X9 into an open-air tower case. Thermaltake really liked the mod so they asked Sassanou if he wanted to do a case (based on his mod of course) wich will be saled, he accepted and after 1 year of hard work Thermaltake annouced The Tower 900 ! I'm french, so sorry if I did some mistakes with the language ;) ! Here is a quick interview of the modder about him and his mod : gametechmodding.com/3877-2/ If you want to know more, Google is yout friend ;) !

[@Hardwareunboxed]

Here is a sneak peek of the plumbing so far, hoping to get it done today so I can get Part 3 out next week!! instagram.com/p/BPtBXIKBIIh/

[@Imagine_Breaker]

Could i get the names of the songs used? specially the ending one.

[@philscomputerlab]

Oh my, watching the Guru at work in his natural habitat :D I guess one advantage of such a humongous case is that it is easy to work with, everything seemed very accessible. Looking forward to the plumbing and how it all comes together!

[@MrXploit.]

damn, it's cool

[@mr.tomatohead5648]

this case is starting to grow on me.

[@nickmann5822]

Incorrect thermal pad placement.

[@liviupaveliu6263]

this build is head over shoulders the core p3 video. bigger is better

[@mistamisa2562]

Man, that's a BBC! ;) Big Beautiful Case (not big black c***). Get your mind out of the gutter

[@nixpix19]

eeeeh, thermal paste?

[@Hardwareunboxed]

It's there mate. Check again!

[@Imagine_Breaker]
