1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,000
i'll be the first to admit that a lot of the upgrades we do around here are

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:09,760
completely unnecessary taking perfectly good hardware and replacing it with

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,639
state-of-the-art hardware just because we can now i actually upgraded my home

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:20,640
theater pc slash vr gaming rig quite recently replacing the 980 ti with an

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,320
rtx 2080 ti but what i didn't upgrade

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,400
was the CPU i'm running a core i5 4570

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:32,079
which honestly was fine until the moment

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,640
that i tried to game in vr while

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:40,239
streaming at the same time almost immediately i was getting frame

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:45,360
drops and this is with the nvanc new encoder that were causing dizziness and

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,680
nausea and basically making it impossible for viewers to enjoy the

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,640
stream so today we're going to be doing the thing that we do best

13
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:57,840
upgrading a computer but this time with a purpose

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:02,559
instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,439
block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device with glassware use offer

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:15,090
code Linus to get 25 off glasswire at the link in the video description

17
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,479
the problem with streaming is that even if you're using resources on your GPU to

18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,680
encode the video the CPU still has to manage that and i'm using a neat little

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,000
third-party app called ovr drop in order to embed the twitch chat into my stream

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,840
and that ends up using i think it's about another nine or ten percent of my

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,680
CPU here so as soon as i start recording

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,880
and try to actually play the game you're going to see my CPU spike up near or at

23
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:50,799
100 utilization

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,960
now we are going to take some shortcuts in the upgrade today but while they

25
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,840
aren't ones that i would want to go out there and recommend they are ones that

26
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,840
you can probably get away with if you want to save a little bit of time

27
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:08,959
and even a little bit of money so you can buy a water bottle on lttstore.com

28
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:12,480
so rather than unnecessarily replace any of the parts in this machine we're going

29
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:15,920
to reuse as many of the things that we can including our silverstone case here

30
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,920
which i absolutely love this is their sg13 if

31
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,319
i recall correctly and it strikes a pretty nice balance between

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,040
size and accessibility so it's

33
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:32,879
reasonable to work on and it accepts

34
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:37,599
full size components including the graphics card uh three and a half inch

35
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,560
hard drive as well as a full-sized atx power supply uh why a hard drive you

36
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:47,440
might ask well because the hard drive is actually going through its

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:51,840
either third or fourth upgrade cycle at this point and i use it for my game

38
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:56,319
library because most of the games on this system get launched once every blue

39
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,160
moon and it's just not worth investing in solid-state storage for something

40
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,400
like that of course it's got a boot SSD as for the power supply we don't want to

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:09,519
replace that i just put this focus plus gold 750 watt power supply in when i

42
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,440
upgraded to the rtx 2080 ti a little while ago um because the old one that i

43
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:17,040
had in here did not have enough pci express connectors and

44
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:20,720
it was not something that you want to hook a brand new top of the line

45
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:26,959
graphics card up to the graphics card stays because

46
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:26,959
what would you upgrade an rtx 2080 ti to

47
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,599
it's all good okay i did say this case is

48
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,720
relatively work-on-able you do have to take off the front panel in order to get

49
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:40,640
at the uh the graphics card

50
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,200
there we go and once you do it just slides out like that though

51
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,680
by the way if you guys are enjoying this hydro dipped rtx 2080 ti we did a video

52
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,239
about that recently and we're probably going to do some more arts and crafts

53
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,280
later so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that we're not even going to bother to

54
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,720
reinstall our operating system which again is not really recommended but

55
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,480
sometimes you can get away with it so we're going to give it a shot leading us

56
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,080
to the things that we are going to replace

57
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,519
so that right there is this is not actually passively cooled so this is

58
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,959
kind of a clever arrangement if i do say so myself where i use the fan on my

59
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,400
power supply to draw air through the heatsink and then exhaust it actually

60
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,280
works surprisingly well even if it probably is going to hurt the long term

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,479
longevity of the power supply and then we've got our motherboard and our i

62
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,240
think it's 16 gigs of ddr3 if i recall

63
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,400
correctly so that definitely needs an upgrade also i might replace this

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:39,280
silence fan that i've owned for 15 years and

65
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,680
modded by painting uv green

66
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,520
about a decade ago i don't know it's pretty brutal look at these like flakes

67
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,120
of paint coming off it i gotta say one thing i'm really noticing as i'm taking

68
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,560
this apart is i've never really pushed it that hard before like even most

69
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,240
modern games they're using a couple threads at a time we were talking full

70
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,240
four core load and spiking as high as a

71
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,639
hundred percent while streaming it was even pinned at 100 at times so this

72
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,880
thing was working freaking hard which is not necessarily the best thing for a

73
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,479
system that's running in a really confined space like this one which is

74
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,560
where the upgrade component choices come in so

75
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:22,160
it's a little overkill i mean i did say i needed the upgrade i didn't say we

76
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:27,919
wouldn't still be going overkill we're going to be using an rog crosshair 8

77
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,320
impact so this is a mini dtx motherboard

78
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:35,680
that i am sincerely hoping is going to fit in our mini itx case we've got a

79
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,000
ryzen 7 3800x so we are doubling our

80
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:44,639
core count as well as improving our per core performance we've got a 16 gig i

81
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,919
think yep 16 gig kit of ddr4 3200 memory

82
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:49,680
and a new cooler that is hopefully going

83
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:52,960
to be low profile enough that i will also be able to fit its fan on it

84
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,600
otherwise we're gonna have a bit of a hard time with a nearly 100 watt CPU in

85
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:01,520
here you can see that in spite of my best efforts to keep dust out of that

86
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:05,199
compartment with the dust filters that are built into the bottom of it clearly

87
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:10,240
a lot of dust still makes its way to the pc and even past the fan filter so i've

88
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:15,199
treated myself to a knocked to a industrial ppc 2000 RPM fan

89
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:23,039
man i gotta say i've got some wrongs to write in this build cable management was

90
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,800
terrible i only had three screws

91
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:27,919
in my fan i can do better than this

92
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:35,440
i mean on a radiator yeah i'd probably use two but try and do some decent cable

93
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,919
management this time around ah realistically it's not gonna happen is

94
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,680
it first up is installing our CPU in the

95
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:46,160
socket so we just need the golden triangle to the triangle bippity boppity

96
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:49,600
and we are done it looks pretty straightforward we throw

97
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,759
the back plate on got a nice heavy duty back plate

98
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:58,160
although i'm not 100 sure why AMD does include their own back plate put some

99
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,360
thermal paste on our CPU chuck this bad boy onto here oh i really

100
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,520
hope this fits oh we're good okay

101
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,440
then we just put in these four screws from the back

102
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,240
man i gotta say this is a cool little board it's incredible how many features

103
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,400
they packed onto this thing you got sure super robust vrm including two cooling

104
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,199
fans though i do have my concerns about them being loud you've got their sodim.2

105
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,639
so that's how it handles m.2 installation a lot of the time you'd see

106
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,280
that on the back of these little compact boards but it's really hard to get

107
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:34,960
cooling back there so i like this approach and this thing not only supports two NVMe drives it's even got

108
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:41,039
two more fan headers and another five volt addressable RGB header on it pci

109
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:43,360
express 16x gen 4 a separate daughter

110
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:47,199
board for the onboard sound that's pretty sick so there's your front panel

111
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:53,840
audio connector front usb built-in buttons which is pretty sweet for SATA

112
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,360
ports usb 3 and the new type c usb 3

113
00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:00,160
front panel connector and a couple dimm slots but

114
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:05,199
all of that comes at a cost it's not strictly speaking itx which is square

115
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:09,680
it's the same with this itx but it's actually a little bit taller so as long

116
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:15,360
as your itx case has an extra pci slot to accommodate a

117
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:20,879
dual slot graphics card there's a very good chance that it'll fit but i have

118
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:27,120
not actually tested that yet this is where i find out if i'm going AMD

119
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,479
oh it's perfect we're going AMD

120
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:37,680
in goes our memory oh yeah i never even talked about the rear i o

121
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:40,240
BIOS reset clear cmos audio wi-fi 6 a

122
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:44,800
bunch of usb 3 ports freaking awesome and spit if you're still into that sort

123
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:48,880
of thing is it multi-gigabit lan that would be sweet

124
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:52,880
it's not

125
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,560
especially on itx boards it makes the biggest difference because realistically

126
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,000
you can't install a 10 gig lan card if you want because

127
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:05,279
where would you put it i mean if i really wanted to

128
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:08,000
i could use the sodium.2 and then one of

129
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:12,240
those m.2 slots and i could take that out to a pci express card expander and i

130
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:16,240
could like put it somewhere i'm not that desperate though

131
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,600
okay so with that in there now we're just building a computer

132
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,360
it's the thing about small form factor machines it's like everything looks so

133
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,680
clean and compact then you gotta wire everything up

134
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:33,600
the whole day ruined like why did silverstone put cables this long

135
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,120
on the usb 3 connector why

136
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,880
it needs to go this far

137
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,080
does this even have front audio did i cut it off or something

138
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:49,360
now i'm breaking one of my own cardinal rules here and i'm installing the graphics card now oh shoot i went and i

139
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:53,519
put the front panel on before the graphics card in this case the graphics

140
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:58,320
card goes in quite early dang it

141
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,320
of course i put in all four screws

142
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:11,600
now one funny idiosyncrasy of this build is that it uses an internal fan header

143
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,120
to run the fans that are in the cabinet

144
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,160
around the computer so i just need to run these out the top

145
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,680
of the pci slot cover here before i put the power supply in

146
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,279
not the most elegant thing ever you know in fairness to me this is

147
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,040
actually pretty darn tidy for a compact build let's go ahead and run our power

148
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,560
supply cables then we'll install the power supply i usually find that's a

149
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:36,240
little bit easier and this is where the cable management all goes completely to

150
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,399
hell that is really tight

151
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,160
sorry fan cables what did we do to deserve this no

152
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,880
no help us please

153
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,200
i don't understand why this power supply won't go in

154
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,480
i am legitimately super confused right now i have no idea what's going on

155
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,800
certainly not the glamiest machine we've ever done but look at that clearance in

156
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,200
here as long as it cools okay i guess we're in pretty good shape and there's

157
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:11,279
lots of room for the fan so hopefully we're not restricting airflow too much i

158
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,230
mean i wish this 24 pin wasn't right across here there's nothing we can

159
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,299
really do about that

160
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,839
this is stupid

161
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:35,040
oh boy this would slow us down a lot if this machine wasn't booting

162
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,600
i don't even have any way of looking at the post oh maybe i could use a mirror

163
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,959
oh i always say it's bad luck to close up the panels

164
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,360
before you test to make sure the system works

165
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,680
um okay well i can see postcodes now

166
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,839
wait what you got to be kidding me all i did was take the panel off

167
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:04,240
you got to be kidding me look afraid to put this on now

168
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:09,200
so we've turned our memory to its faster profile

169
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,040
i am setting it to boot to our SSD

170
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,720
uh where are my drives

171
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:19,839
okay why are our boot devices not showing up let's go to easy mode maybe

172
00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:23,760
i'm just maybe it's too advanced for me the system cannot find any bootable

173
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:28,320
devices but it's right there csm is disabled by default on this thing

174
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:33,839
so i think it's just a matter of going in and setting it to legacy support hey

175
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:36,480
there it is all right we good

176
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:41,519
let's get booted into Windows all the devices are detected

177
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:46,079
our CPU is turboing up to 4.2 gigahertz in spite of our wimpy cooler that we've

178
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,800
got on it we'll see how it holds up when we're actually gaming let's find out how

179
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,040
it handles it so theoretically

180
00:12:52,800 --> 00:13:00,240
i should be able to record gameplay

181
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:03,959
with absolutely no compromises in terms

182
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,959
of performance now

183
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:30,079
well i'm happy

184
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:33,600
feels good looks good

185
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:44,720
the recording is wait the recording's not going

186
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:51,200
that's it for the excuses if i ever screw up during my stream i'm

187
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:54,240
gonna have no one to blame but myself

188
00:13:52,720 --> 00:14:01,519
