This video is the second of my new series on building a Home Lab Virtual Machine Application Server. The objective of this par is to fully populate and test the Motherboard housed components, including the Intel i9-12900KS CPU, the 64gb of DDR5 Memory, the PCIe Gen 4 M.4 2tb Drive, the CPU AIO Cooler, and the 1000w Power Supply, in a bench setup configuration (no case or other supporting components). As mentioned in Part1, this build will be VERY detailed and can be considered a PC building tutorial for those who are new to building their own PC with the many of the best commercially available components available today. Thanks for watching.
