How I make PC build videos and the effort that goes into them (behind the scenes with the NZXT H9)
88Here I'm showing you some of the problems I had with the build of the NZXT H9 Elite and the things that followed. My plac was to set this case up twice, in two different formats, once with an NZXT Kraken Z73 and F120 RGB Duo fans (https://youtu.be/3IPOt0ZF-wE) and then again with a Corsair H170i Elite AIO and AF120 RGB Elite fans (https://youtu.be/eEeMzFHxtWw). Except I hadn't accounted for the fact that the H170i is a 420mm radiator, because I'm a numpty and was tired when I agreed to make content on it. LOL noob.
So now my first world problems include buying a Lian Li Lan Cool 3, just so i can make a video on that cooler. But obviously I'll also be making videos on that case too, so watch this space. At the same time I also bought an AMD 7700X CPU because Asus sent me a motherboard ages ago that I haven't used yet, so now I figured I might as well kill multiple birds with one stone.
Not to be defeated by my own incompetence, I decided to still use the AF120 fans in the H9 Elite, but with the H150i Elite I had in a cupboard. Then I could craft a review on the case that was more detailed than my usual videos, which would go alongside the build guide that I've already done and a wiring guide on the AF120 fans as well. So yeah, I'm making loads of content out of a "simple" PC build.
So here are the videos:
