  • The reason their delid tool goes up and down instead of sideways is because it works for 12th (12th gen has capacitors that would break off with side to side) and 13th gen and der8auers is only for 13th gen

    Jay, might I suggest... Rather than using zip ties for the fan wires, or any wires routed along the chassis, get some sewing thread and wind it around the chassis and wire(s) in a wide spiral. It'd be a little less noticeable and intrusive comparted to zip ties, and you could get a gold thread as an accent or black to blend in.

    Seeing the synced jokes between Jay and Phil honestly make my day while watching these videos
  • If you are dead set on going with the whole gold and black theme another way to really get a little more gold in there could be to heat the parts and use a copper brush to transfer copper onto those silver suspension wire holder parts. I have seen it done on a few different channels with many different things and the finish is usually really good looking in my opinion. Just an idea. love the channel and the builds ect keep up the madness. :3
  • @krillen64
    Can't wait to see the build when it's done. I think it's going to look sick.
  • @ghost-type
    I'm legit jelly about this build. It looks so clean and cool.
  • @itsavw
    ROCKIT Cool de-lidder is very good. Used for my 10th Gen and 13900KS (bought the de-lidder for 13th gen)... no sweat and the de-lidder itself gives you some confidence.
  • @JessedoesDIY
    That block looks sick Jay! I guess now you have to remove all the hardware from that chassis and send them out to be plated!
  • @KanzatoHiro
    Jay if you want those stainless cable holders to look golden you can try brass coating them with a torch and a brass brush wheel, assuming they come off and there is no plastic bits and pieces inside.
  • Have you looked up how easy metal plating is? I think you would really enjoy gearing up to do it and then make those stainless cable tensioners actually gold plated!
  • @Amehdion
    If you are overly concerned with the silver mounts you might look into having them gold electroplated. Or, possibly the cheaper option, hot brass brush them.
  • @C0manso
    I'm just wondering. Why are you using paste instead of liquid metal for direct die? The benefits of using liquid metal with direct die should be much higher, especially because of the density. All that heat in such a small area. I wouldn't be surprised if your performance is very similar to your regular IHS install because of using paste, maybe slightly worse, I don't know.

    I love how Jay said that he loves the way the EK waterblock matches the kingpin logo then immediately covers the kingpin with the EVGA graphics card lol
  • Right before you guys started singing UP IN HEEERE I was already singing it in my head. It's the little things I love about these videos.
  • @strongislandx
    I used heat when I delidded my 12900k and 13900k, helps allot. Also ek sent the liquid metal to use as tim between the block cold plate and the CPU die, that's one of the main benefits of delidding. I just got the velocity 2 direct die conversion kit. Kinda cool ek released that. All delidded now just gotta install block
