ladies and gents I bring you the ultimate wireless gaming PC featuring Asus BTF what does BTF stand for exactly you might ask take a [Music] guess correct answer is e Back to Future Back to the Future it is the new Revolution in PC gaming where connectors are all hidden providing users with more aesthetically looking PCS Asus was kind enough to send an old parts and sponsor this video so that I can build the ultimate Wireless water cooled gaming PC they're also kind enough to give away some amazing prizes like R peripherals PC components and your very own BTF motherboard an RTX 490 graphic card it's completely free to enter just visit The Gleam link down below if you guys want to [Music] participate the operating system we're going with is Windows 11 Pro which I was able to get for dirt cheap at VIP orcd key.com they do sell Windows 10 Pro Keys as well and if you do plan on picking one up yourself make sure to use the code ts20 to get a discount after checking out they will send you instructions on how to retrieve the key and all you have to do is copy and paste the new key into the activation settings of Windows and you're good to go the CPU we're going with is the Intel I9 14900 K because this is going to pair beautifully with our Rog Maximus z790 hero BTF motherboard this this Beast has 24 cores and 32 threads making this not only one of the best gaming chips out there but also for heavy workloads as well I'm also going to be installing a contact frame with the CPU this thing does wonders in keeping the temps down on the processor basically any build I do moving forward whether it's on the am5 platform or LGA 1700 socket I'm always going to install a contact frame it makes a huge difference so we're going to be popping the CPU inside the brand new Rog Maximus z790 hero BTS which is going to be the centerpiece of this build this is also the very first Rog Advanced BTF motherboard in the market and there's a difference you got BTF and then you have advanced BTF the BTF motherboard provides you with hidden connectors in the back of the motherboard for clean Cable Management however for the graphics card you would plug it in normally and the cables would be visible from the front whereas Advanced BTF the GPU is included as well through a PCI high power connector directly on the board this delivers up to 600 WTS through the motherboard and out the back achieving this clean Wireless look from the front this is also a really good looking board perfect for the old black stealthy builds but if you do fancy a bit of RGB you can also change the colors on the vrm covers over here on the right side wa this has three USBC ports I've never seen three USBC ports in the back of a mother this is the first for me that's crazy got a buttload of connectivity bios flash clear seamos button up top and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity damn oh you know since the connectors are on the back of it you can't put it on top of your table or your motherboard box anymore so you have to be extremely careful not to damage the pins especially from the RGB headers so I think we're going to start using these included Foams to make sure that the motherboard is protected so we put this on here first and then the motherboard yep that's going to be the new meta all right nice and tight just how I like it heyo what the so cooling the CPU is actually going to be a water block we're going to be throwing on the R ryogen 3 water block and I actually this caught my attention when I was at CS earlier this year this is the first time I actually saw that product live in action and it got me thinking imagine this full custom water cool build using the Rog BTF ecosystem no cables in sight just the tubes and the PC components mark my words guys I feel like that's going to be the future of PC Building in the next 3 to 5 years probably even sooner probably next one to two years if I'm being honest we're going to start seeing BTF water blocks for graphic cards that would be freaking epic but yeah the water block is super minimalistic it's got a 3.5 in IPS LCD display just like the ryogen 3 but without the tubes and the radiator of course the water block also comes with 16 mm fittings which I think are going to be a little too big for this build so we'll be going with 14 mm fittings from Corsair instead which I think is a sweet spot between 12 and 16 mm also what's cool about this water block is that it comes with an embedded fan inside and this is to provide additional cooling to the surrounding vrms and according to Asus it's helped lower the Temps by 35° C which is pretty wild you know I'm probably going to install the water block at the end just because the inlet and Outlet ports are on the top and if I do put this in right now it's going to be very difficult to install the fitting so I'll hold off towards the end and also realized there's cables coming out of it so that kind of goes against the whole BTF ecosystem but it is towards the top so I think we can go ahead and hide them pretty easily not too concerned about the cables okay let's install our memory now so we're going with the corser Dominator titanium's in Black uh we're throwing in a total of 64 gigs running at 6600 MHz and I feel like the new Dominator titanium some corser are going to really complement the case that's one of the main reasons why I went with these sticks as opposed to something else they're going to complement the case and the motherboard [Music] and then for storage we're keeping it simple just a 2 TB m.2 drive from Corsair this is the mp700 pro running on PCI gen5 speeds we got ridiculous 12,400 megabytes per second read and up to 11,800 right that is blazing blazing fast I'm no longer using this Precision bit screwdriver set because it's outdated this is actually the new and refreshed 2024 version which if you guys want to check out I'll drop a link to down below so the case I'm building in is the Rog Hyperion BTF Edition essentially it's the same exact case but with additional cutouts on the motherboard tray as you guys can see here which is needed so that we can pass through the connectors from the motherboard and plug in the cables from the back I don't know if you guys remember but I actually built uh Frost V4 in the original case of the Hyperion but in white and I the case kind of grew on me so I'm kind of excited that I'm building in it again [Music] okay so I think the next logical step would be to figure out the fan and radio configur figuration we are only cooling the CPU so a single 360 red is more than enough but I did pick up the thicker radiator instead of the slim one from Corsair this is the XR7 instead of the xr5 so this is definitely going to be more than plenty I just have to figure out where I'm going to be mounting a radiator either in the front or on the top this case makes it easy to do a custom water cool build we can remove this panel over here and have access to another 360 mm bracket so we'll be hooking up the pump over here in the back which means we won't have enough space or clearance to install our radiator and fans in the front which means our only option is to put the rad on the top with the fans and do a push configuration I don't know how many of these fans I'm going to end up using I know I'm going to use at least six of them so we'll have three intake in the front and then three exhaust on the top but if we remove the panel over there on the side we have room to add three more fans for intake as well so I think we might end up with six intake and only three exhaust that's a lot of positive pressure so um we might add one more exhaust fan in the back to kind of even it out a little [Applause] [Music] bit of course Asus had to zip tie all the cables that is fantastic [Music] that is one thick boy you know what let's open up the pump next so we can put it inside the case that way we can get an idea of how much room we have to work with what oh my God I had no idea I had no idea this is huge this is dead enormous wow this is way more thicker than the than the previous corer pump okay this might be an issue okay let's say we're hooking this up over here you know what let's put the fans first let's say I'm going with triple fans as intake we got the bracket over here and then the pump sits right here that is that's doable right like the gravic card is not going to reach the pump is it well only one way to find out let's go to unbox this bad boy [Music] I didn't think the sexiest gravis card on the market could get any sexier you guys look at that no connectors inight they blocked it out in the front you can see actually where it's supposed to go and then they added this in the back which I think they're calling it GC H power Goldfinger I can't make this up they're calling it Goldfinger which kind of makes sense actually anyways yeah this portion plugs into the motherboard so let's go and pop this in and see what it's going to look like we don't have to technically install it I could just hold it up over here just so we can oh no that's really close sh no freaking way you know what let's just go and install it [Music] no it's off by a good inch damn Daniel sucks what if we try the front let's try this side why not you know what the problem with this is the is the power supply shroud I can't go that deep that's what she said yeah look how much this freaking blocks dude this is so so annoying wait a minute hold on hold on hold on okay let me try this now you can technically go up just a little bit right oh yes yes this will work actually you can even have it sitting right on top of the power supply shroud if we really need to the only issue are the ports they can't be right in front of the grabis card so we're going to have to push it all the way down which essentially is like almost touch in the bottom of the graphis card this is our only option unless we bring it up all the way to the top and that does not look good at all oh maybe it does hold on then the tubes will be over here making it a lot easier to run straight to the CPU okay I'm going to brainstorm a little bit see what's the best possible route to take and I will be right back one eternity later all right guys I figured out the best possible location for the pump hands down so I'm going to be mounting it right here on this bracket on the uh the middle fan in the front and the outlet is going to sit just above the top of the GPU so here's the run that I have planned out from the CPU block into the top red out from the top red back into the pump out from the pump and back into the CPU block perfect [Music] all right I think this is a really good spot to end for today you guys got a lot of work done I'll be back tomorrow to install the power supply hook up the fittings and do the tube runs there's definitely a lot of black I feel like we can add a splash of color from the RGB lights and maybe go with some colored coolant just to add a bit of um accent colors in there but yeah overall loving the way this is turning out I will see you guys very soon all right ladies and gents welcome to day two of working on don't have a name for this PC actually let's name it real quick black rock version 2 my OG is watching this video I've probably seen the original Black Rock many many moons ago I think that name is fitting for this case and for the color scheme speaking of which we are going with black satin tubes for the Hardline build I think these are going to look absolutely sick inside the case so let's go and pop in the power supply first and then work on our two brands [Music] [Music] what [Music] what [Music] [Music] [Applause] so there you have It Black Rock finally completed what an absolute unit this PC is not just in size but in performance as well I can pretty much max out any game I want in any resolution and not break a sweat the water block seems to be doing his job quite well taming the 14900 K and keeping attempts down under 75° C while playing the finals in 1440p Epic settings aesthetically it looks good but it could look better if I'm being honest I always prefer a full custom loop as opposed to a hybrid Loop where we're only cooling the CPU but we don't have any water blocks available for BTF gpus as of yet so there's not much I can do at the moment unfortunately but I would love to eventually do a full custom BTF Loop when we do start getting BTF blocks in I will say though the absence of cables from the front definitely contribute to an overall clean and minimalistic aesthetic and I absolutely love it but it's not for everyone I feel like without cables the PC is lacking character there's nothing in there that really separates it from everyone else's PC I feel like the cables are what give your PC a personality and make it stand out so that's why I don't think BTF is going to be for everyone but if you prefer that clean and wireless look then BTF is definitely for you personally I dig the look and this is definitely the route I want to take for my personal system when we do eventually get BTF water blocks and wider range of BTF products we don't have that much of a selection just yet I mean after all this is brand new but Asus is making it a mission to expand this ecosystem with its Partners the main components for BTF right now are the motherboard and the case which are both required but if you want to take it a step further you can go Advanced BTF with the motherboard and include the GPU as well which is what we did today I do have one little nitpick with the case however I wish the side panel wasn't tinted so damn dark it completely drowns out the compon components inside and makes it hard to see the lighting despite having the brightness set to Max other than that I'm very happy with the tubing the bends are nearly perfect and the rest of the tube runs are straighter than me I did make the choice of putting the tubes on top of the GPU for convenience in case I need to swap out the car for any reason and not have to drain the entire system in the process also I do think it does look much better this way because the tube runs are shorter and cleaner the only downside to that however is that if it starts to leak anywhere the first thing that's going to suffer is the graphic card and that's going to be very traumatic
