FIZ O PRIMEIRO UPGRADE DO PC FENÔMENO

Summary

The video shows a PC build for soccer legend Ronaldo 6 months later. The host disassembles and cleans the custom liquid cooling system to remove sediment. He upgrades some parts like the radiator for better cooling. After reassembly and new coolant, the PC is tested in a game. Temperatures stay around 68°C for the CPU under load. The video shares the programming behind the PC's display screens. Viewers are encouraged to check the code repository and build their own versions.

Takeaways

• 🚀 The video showcases a six-month follow-up on Ronaldo Fenômeno's custom PC, focusing on its condition and performance.
• 🔍 The right side of the PC, designed for gaming, was disassembled for maintenance, while the left side remains intact.

Q & A

Why did Gustavo take apart Ronaldo's PC?

Gustavo took apart the right side of Ronaldo's PC while he was traveling to do some maintenance and cleaning. After 6 months of use, some dust had accumulated and Gustavo wanted to replace the thermal paste and radiator.

What kind of maintenance did Gustavo do on the liquid cooling system?

Gustavo drained the old liquid, disassembled and cleaned the entire cooling system, replaced the radiator with a better one, refilled it with new liquid and bled the system to remove any trapped air.

Why did Gustavo cut a hole in the top of the reservoir?

Gustavo cut a hole in the reservoir's housing to make it easier to access the fill port and do maintenance on the liquid cooling system.

Did Gustavo make any other changes besides the liquid cooling system?

Yes, Gustavo also relocated the mini PC to improve airflow, changed some tubing, improved cable routing, and changed the reservoir mounting.

What kind of gaming performance does Ronaldo's PC achieve?

Playing on low settings at 1080p, Ronaldo's PC averaged around 280 FPS while using only 66% of the GPU and 48% of the CPU. Temperatures remained reasonable as well.

Why doesn't Ronaldo play on higher graphic settings?

Ronaldo prefers to play on lower settings to achieve very high FPS rates rather than maximize graphic quality.

What custom UI screen shows the PC's modes?

There is a small LCD screen that shows the PC's modes including Phenomenon Mode, Brazil Mode and a mode that displays both PCs' performance statistics.

Where can you find info about the custom UI programming?

The GitHub repository with the UI code is linked in the video description for those interested in studying or customizing it.

What processor does Ronaldo's PC use?

The PC uses an Intel Core i9-13900K processor which runs quite hot, but Gustavo's liquid cooling keeps temperatures reasonable.

Does the upgraded cooling allow for overclocking?

The video does not specify, but the upgraded liquid cooling system should provide additional thermal headroom for overclocking the CPU and GPU if desired.
