all right oh what should i be doing right now
uh you should be coming over here yes
because we are about to build your new dream gaming machine sponsored
by ASUS rog wow that's it that's
gonna be one of those kind of videos Linus apparently
so nick my understanding is that you went full snowflake
on the uh the the rig configuration here
i will admit yeah can you explain some of your choices so i see some
significant differences here you've got team group 480 gig SSD with
a massive one terabyte additional SSD
because like you know your your mass storage can't even that can't be on
magnetic apparently for you you've gone verizon i have
why did you decide to go rising because
i'm not just gonna be playing games all the time
what else will you be doing i mean what you do on your personal time is not so
i've been streaming but kind of hard to do on my laptop because if you open
anything other than obs it just crashes right so you could stream a blank
desktop yes interesting so have you ever built a
machine before no how do we keep finding new people where you're like super into
tech but then you've like never built a computer i have no idea have you ever
owned a desktop i owned a i owned a mac mini from 2006.
or like 2008 or something around there that doesn't count okay well it was a
desktop
okay so here's your motherboard yeah there it is
is that the new one yep nice the latest motherboard go ahead and
uh is this the motherboard yes this is the motherboard i didn't know for sure
ah this guy's sharp i like this nick guy can you open the
box though that's the question oh it's just a
that was easy you know what oh my gosh it's a little over the top for a
motherboard well this is like top of the line shiz
yo you gotta go for it i mean not quite they do have Threadripper which is more
top of the line but this is like as top of the line is
aha look at this look at this motherboard picking up form he's got
going on here edge of the pcb and like heat sinks and shrouds and stuff it's
good you know what it works that was an accident wasn't it
stickers of course most important part i'll apply these for you okay i'm going
to do a really good job all of them mounting hardware
and these are for chumps
chumps those are for people who don't know what the wires are yeah oh the
chumps are that's me sorry but i'm here to help you i need to
leave whoa yeah okay yeah actually don't do
that okay okay like that you were to open this
yes so what i'd like you to do is put that right look i told you i've never built a
pc i'm an expert when it comes to dropping things and the thing that you
learn from dropping a lot of stuff is how to not drop things and then you
continue to drop the hard way the hard way the hard way i keep finding new ways
oh that's the triangle right um yeah but what about that triangle
there's no triangle there am i going to get bamboozled twice
it should require no force
they do it a little bit ah a little bit of force he
lied to me this is all the easy stuff though yeah
this is the stuff i have actually done once before you lied no i haven't built
a c a pc i've put in a CPU and i've put in RAM and that was not the RAM slot
that's the room so good okay you made it you're gonna try
to trick me there weren't you no no i wasn't i wasn't have you seen that meme
where it's like trust no one not even yourself of me right there
young kids today they have different means than in my generation see
for me it's like i walk into a room i'm like how are you gentlemen people are
like what you say what are you talking about that's not english
there nope oh we almost got it yes did i do it yeah okay you got it
now hold on yeah that's good it is customary to line it up to line it
up carefully use two hands two hands and then this side doesn't have a thing oh
yeah so you generally put that one in first gotcha and then the other one
snaps into place wow so how did you swing 32 gigs of RAM in this thing i
don't know it's funny because i'm making him feel special but the other guy got all solid
state storage and 32 gigs of RAM too so
yeah it looks good to me the Linus media school of life has taught me well taught
you that by making videos about things you can get handouts
that's a pretty good lifeline that's a good life lesson if i've ever seen one
more important to be popular than smart how old are you in university yet i went
to college or turned 18 i mean 19 two days ago okay so you graduated last year
i graduated in the spring yes yeah okay so i this is my first year of university
cool how's that going for you oh
it's good i think i don't know better than it will when you have this to
distract you uh okay so i'm an undeclared major at my
university right now and if i had to pick one today i would do computer
science or software engineering so yeah programming kind of code
that's what i've been doing yeah a literally six-year-old laptop yes i know
i've watched your video no way okay what's next um
i think oh it's the mouse mat it's got to be
all right i think i i i mean you want me to set it
up right here right there it's perfect
okay you're going to want to hold on to that
panel make sure that doesn't uh fall fall there yep
there we go it's glass whoa yep tempered glass wow the year is 2018
indeed thank you not a bad case did you pick
this now what i think you can go
i think it's either you mount the motherboard or you can put the power
supply in but i think go with the motherboard
yep you put it does it go like this way
yeah it does because this thing goes out there should i
just go for it i think it just i don't know if i'm
lining it up exactly but i think it just goes like that i guess i found one of
the screws holy things
done okay so you're in upside down i'm upside
down i even mentioned that before i put it in and i put it in backwards
look it's nothing personal it just makes me feel like a big man you know i just
you know i have to let other people make mistakes so i can feel like a big shot
what's better than that well doing it well is better yeah i
didn't do it very good that was like yeah
enjoy it was in your butt pocket you betcha
houston we have a problem come on get in there
it's it's been one of those days you know where you don't want to wake up
everything is everybody sucks where are you going with that
really oh man trying to reference something
again you don't really know why but you want
to justify ripping someone's head off forget it
holy crap you're 18. 19. 19.
it just turned 19. you're 19 which means that
when that song came out i was just born
parents probably consummated to that song yeah they did
is the young and restless still around oh probably like
like you've you've heard of it right yeah okay oh i've heard of that
did i am am i are you proud of me now no
like do you know green day yeah i love green day
don't be a poser yeah you're right i don't know what green day is i don't
i've never heard of it i was just trying to before i met Linus i thought of course
he's putting on a persona for the videos because he has to sometimes but then you
meet him and you're like there's no way he's just acting like that you're gonna go that way i'm gonna
go that way go that way i am okay i mean i'm not judging you are
power supplies in yes now what um
cables there they are one with cable on the front yeah that would be a good
guess yeah how do you open this it's very crushed
is that like a slang from the kids now yeah does that mean cool it's totally
rad look at him even just trying i'm trying old slang it's pathetic no it's
not it's not it is that's that's slang we use us kids these days
you said we need one of these did i so like started out and i was feeling good
about things because we did the CPU and the easy stuff and then we got into like
where does everything plug in and Linus just like looked at me and gave me that
look like you don't know what you're doing and i'm like yeah well i don't
help me right
wrong wrong yeah do you like that
wrong wrong this i think we need this one looks like
a good one right yes
i'm one for three i'm still failing but i'm getting up there
you're actually two for four right two for four
that's just underpassing i think 50 is actually a pass not where i come from
what's left uh ed could roast you he put them up he
put the motherboard in i put it in bag about his building were you gonna go
after like his shoes yeah go after my my looks i mean this is
weird i think his right shoe is in a double knot and his left shoe's in a
regular knot no it's in a double knot it's just like it's just falling apart it's just a crappy double knot it is
yeah i'm not gonna lie look at this ready good enough
that's how we do it are you gonna pick another cable at some
point here you know what i'm wrong
right yes the same thing but one's longer longer
is better right Linus right i'm just laughing because you were
roasting my shoes and you're wearing white socks and sandals these are crappy
socks i don't recommend them i had no idea what was going on most of
the time what the crap did you just do what i messed up quite a bit wow it's a
good thing i was here you would have just tried them other players that would have been that would have been like full
user error no warranty nothing but we got there and it was really fun
oh beautiful isn't it though that is a work
of art
minus you had to drop something otherwise it's
not a Linus tech tips video yeah this is i i was i was all like yeah rog they
went like full out on this all solid-state storage for you guys
they just knew we gave you anything that could be broken by dropping it yet
boom yeah good there's no mounting thingy there
no there isn't so just leave that there
oh yeah you're missing school aren't you i am what a good deal i'm a good boy
oh yeah i don't know which way it goes i'm gonna assume this way nope nope oh
oh yeah what that no nope nope nope nope yes yes no yes yes
yes in his defense okay there's not a lot i can say to defend him but
like it kind of looks like it goes on like that but what would happen
you wouldn't be able to slide this into here or screw this into oh no way
oh they're here
what you are going to be the first to
own the Linus tech tips cable ties
yes we are going to cable manage your system yes with LTT edition cable ties
let's do it they're just like regular cable ties except they're LTT except we
put this logo on it that's a logo just
like comic sans LTT
whatever on this side you know what i mean i just roasted your company just
lloyd it's fine radiator yes
drop my washer clean up your act i'm sorry get it because it's also
what do we do next
is that all the cables that we have so far
there's only two left right now or there's those two it has to be the graphics card
yes we can plug the graphics card in now okay it's just on the floor
that's okay it's true to the theme of the build the graphics card is not the
most important part of a gaming machine especially not when it's like
the bolonist graphics card oh no of course not you know what this is right
yeah this is top shelf man yeah no they just came out right 2080 ti this is a
two and a half slot cooler this is the overclocked edition so it'll run a
little bit faster yeah it's got RGB 20
increase right there that's right performance i don't know this is sponsored by ASUS so i got to be careful
about performance claims i think so not actually don't pull an Intel
wow all right open this baby up let's do it i'm gonna
use my nails to like try to cut this tape and if i
fail then it'll just slice into the skin under your nail and take weeks to heal
yeah
the sacred tablet what yeah the ancient manuscripts
foretold of its arrival you open it up and you're like whoa oh
nice oh my gosh this thing is a little bigger than i expected oh yeah that's
really big and don't that's not what she said but
so like i was telling uh jono before that the head like the only card i'd
ever really handled or touched before was a gt 1030. this is what true power
feels like this thing is just like all cooler and it's great it's wonderful i
love it so because you have so much like
raw surface area there these fans like don't even need to
spin up fairly a lot of the time yeah so you're you're gonna hear it
but less than you'd probably think okay
yeah yeah power okay this is gaming
gaming power right here hold on let me brace the case for you a
little bit here do you want me to go oh wow look at that
that was the best rip oh oh
come on click yes cool and what's nice about running them
over the top like this is they actually give it a little bit of sag support yeah
do you want to do you want to see it turn on sure
no you don't want to see that i don't you're right
such a hater
we're talking double triple even quadruple numbers here
sorry this is a little are you good there's a lip here
nick can you tell us again how you feel about those cable ties you want me to say
you want me to give my raw opinions um hire me to sponsor your products with
these cable ties you too can cable manage quite adequately
sorry lloyd see if we got this all tightened down
enough that seems pretty good
got a little bit of a little bit of bulge there but hey never
hurt anyone that's right hey what's up with that bulge in your
computer oh it's a giant penis
in your computer yeah well you ever heard of epeen
let's try and shoot down at it so we can't see those top cables hey david
meanwhile he pans right up thanks david
end of this note use this terrific work david
okay yes so this is the part where we like
power it on for the first time so we got to get the keyboard mouse mouse pad
let's do this thing okay i feel like i feel like a young child
again at christmas when you're that you are a young child well
i don't know if you hadn't are is he legally an adult here yeah 19 yeah okay
you can't drink yet though i don't think at 19. yeah have fun
so i don't know if you know this but all your peripherals they are all RGB
and you can actually synchronize them not just between
to the performances but also with the internals of your system aside from the
RGB which i know is the main feature it's got cherry mx switches kind of
basically robust build quality media keys all that good stuff nice high
performance mouse oh
the monitor is the centerpiece of the peripheral upgrade though so you get a
2560 by 60. what what what is it you're upgrading from 720
you know i've gotten used to it but i know it's bad so you're getting about
four rex the resolution 2560 by 1440 144
hertz native 165 with overclocking g-sync um super low response times let's
go ahead and find out if this system works you ready
there you go whoa look at that
you haven't even seen the RAM yet no oh that's gonna add at least 500 FPS the
cooler has a screen on the cooler which is i've never seen it before and i was
like that's really cool we could also put uh
water water in water in level is water in you know what let's stick with
frequency oh no there it is there it is 2700 RPM there you go
we have your side panel which i actually haven't seen yet i haven't seen this
either i hope you know i pack a chainsaw fred durst
and do you want to see how it runs of course what's your game my man monster
hunter world okay that we don't have that you know what we're gonna we're
gonna buy it right now
not for you all right so you got five minutes to
wait which is actually perfect
because it gives us enough time to install an RGB strip i don't know if we
have enough width we're gonna have to do some jank stuff here
slim this down a bit uh don't take your front panel off don't
maintain the pc yeah no forget everything i said about cleaning the air
filter
nothing nothing don't make me take this front
panel off please oh god
you get to play some monster hunter world while i play decorate the case with
stickers okay i'm ready oh no we suggested that these
two stickers go right here and right there
oh yeah that's a great suggestion
i see how it is have you ever gamed on like a high-end rig like this
no i was telling jono that i have never
even experienced like SSD speed like i've had hard disks i've never had an
SSD so this is very quick well i don't know what's going on right now i think
it's just you know you have a headset i mean
you're right there's you're about to set a character
customization oh Linus i'll leave that to you will you actually play with the
character i make if you make a good one i know this is kind of weird but like
the coolest box was that headset whoa this box is the coolest box out of
anybody look at this because it like opened up from like the middle like you
didn't pick one side wow
this is some very deep you gotta make a good customization yeah you're gonna be
like yeah there we go max age max wrinkles
oh yes
cool would you mess with this guy who will ask grandpa
look at these angry brows
oh now that might be a little too ferocious hold on i'm going to dial back
the ferocious a touch here
oh that what are these outfits we're trying to make a badass here yeah and
you did look you made a badass what character limit
oh dursty mcdurst phase is that name okay no no this is not okay
nothing about this image is okay oh you gotta be kidding me you can make
a cat now you have to okay your cat's done
yeah i'm naming him after my dead cat
okay start the game with this character go for it ah
oh look at him go
and there's your dick
do the honors okay i don't know what's happening but fred durst can climb
any thoughts on how it runs it runs because on my old computer it
wouldn't that is some wow that is some good friend
tell me tell me where you've been training dude holy crap
what's going on here i was like i was like there is no
way something is not on my back right now but i'm just gonna let it happen
republic of gamers how's it looking looks good to me
it's i mean can you tell the difference are you kidding me
of course i'm really bad but you know and these bots are really easy and not
really doing anything but it makes me look like i'm good
kind of you can adjust the mouth sensitivity you know so it just has a button right here oh really just click
that whoa oh yes it's beautiful
i'm not good at the game like i said they're all right there what
didn't stand a chance but like whoa this is like i just like moving around
because there's like no stutter at all you know minus tech tips killed 80
percent right there mvp Linus tech tips
