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

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:09.760
completely unnecessary taking perfectly good hardware and replacing it with

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.639
state-of-the-art hardware just because we can now i actually upgraded my home

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:20.640
theater pc slash vr gaming rig quite recently replacing the 980 ti with an

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:24.320
rtx 2080 ti but what i didn't upgrade

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.400
was the CPU i'm running a core i5 4570

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:32.079
which honestly was fine until the moment

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:34.640
that i tried to game in vr while

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:40.239
streaming at the same time almost immediately i was getting frame

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:45.360
drops and this is with the nvanc new encoder that were causing dizziness and

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.680
nausea and basically making it impossible for viewers to enjoy the

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:54.640
stream so today we're going to be doing the thing that we do best

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.840
upgrading a computer but this time with a purpose

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:02.559
instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.439
block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device with glassware use offer

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:15.090
code Linus to get 25 off glasswire at the link in the video description

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:24.479
the problem with streaming is that even if you're using resources on your GPU to

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

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.000
third-party app called ovr drop in order to embed the twitch chat into my stream

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

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:41.680
CPU here so as soon as i start recording

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

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.799
100 utilization

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.960
now we are going to take some shortcuts in the upgrade today but while they

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

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:03.840
you can probably get away with if you want to save a little bit of time

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

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:12.480
so rather than unnecessarily replace any of the parts in this machine we're going

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:15.920
to reuse as many of the things that we can including our silverstone case here

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.920
which i absolutely love this is their sg13 if

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:27.319
i recall correctly and it strikes a pretty nice balance between

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.040
size and accessibility so it's

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.879
reasonable to work on and it accepts

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:37.599
full size components including the graphics card uh three and a half inch

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

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:47.440
might ask well because the hard drive is actually going through its

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:51.840
either third or fourth upgrade cycle at this point and i use it for my game

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.319
library because most of the games on this system get launched once every blue

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.160
moon and it's just not worth investing in solid-state storage for something

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

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:09.519
replace that i just put this focus plus gold 750 watt power supply in when i

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

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:17.040
had in here did not have enough pci express connectors and

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.720
it was not something that you want to hook a brand new top of the line

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:26.959
graphics card up to the graphics card stays because

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.959
what would you upgrade an rtx 2080 ti to

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.599
it's all good okay i did say this case is

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

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.640
at the uh the graphics card

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:45.200
there we go and once you do it just slides out like that though

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

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:52.239
about that recently and we're probably going to do some more arts and crafts

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

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:00.720
reinstall our operating system which again is not really recommended but

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

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:08.080
to the things that we are going to replace

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:11.519
so that right there is this is not actually passively cooled so this is

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

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.400
power supply to draw air through the heatsink and then exhaust it actually

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.280
works surprisingly well even if it probably is going to hurt the long term

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.479
longevity of the power supply and then we've got our motherboard and our i

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.240
think it's 16 gigs of ddr3 if i recall

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.400
correctly so that definitely needs an upgrade also i might replace this

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:39.280
silence fan that i've owned for 15 years and

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.680
modded by painting uv green

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

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

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.560
this apart is i've never really pushed it that hard before like even most

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:58.240
modern games they're using a couple threads at a time we were talking full

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.240
four core load and spiking as high as a

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.639
hundred percent while streaming it was even pinned at 100 at times so this

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.880
thing was working freaking hard which is not necessarily the best thing for a

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:12.479
system that's running in a really confined space like this one which is

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:18.560
where the upgrade component choices come in so

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

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:27.919
wouldn't still be going overkill we're going to be using an rog crosshair 8

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.320
impact so this is a mini dtx motherboard

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

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:38.000
ryzen 7 3800x so we are doubling our

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

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:47.919
think yep 16 gig kit of ddr4 3200 memory

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:49.680
and a new cooler that is hopefully going

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

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

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

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.199
compartment with the dust filters that are built into the bottom of it clearly

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

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:15.199
treated myself to a knocked to a industrial ppc 2000 RPM fan

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

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.800
terrible i only had three screws

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:27.919
in my fan i can do better than this

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

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:37.919
management this time around ah realistically it's not gonna happen is

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:41.680
it first up is installing our CPU in the

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:46.160
socket so we just need the golden triangle to the triangle bippity boppity

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:49.600
and we are done it looks pretty straightforward we throw

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:53.759
the back plate on got a nice heavy duty back plate

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:58.160
although i'm not 100 sure why AMD does include their own back plate put some

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:03.360
thermal paste on our CPU chuck this bad boy onto here oh i really

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.520
hope this fits oh we're good okay

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.440
then we just put in these four screws from the back

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:14.240
man i gotta say this is a cool little board it's incredible how many features

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:18.400
they packed onto this thing you got sure super robust vrm including two cooling

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

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

00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:29.280
that on the back of these little compact boards but it's really hard to get

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

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:41.039
two more fan headers and another five volt addressable RGB header on it pci

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:43.360
express 16x gen 4 a separate daughter

00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:47.199
board for the onboard sound that's pretty sick so there's your front panel

00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:53.840
audio connector front usb built-in buttons which is pretty sweet for SATA

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.360
ports usb 3 and the new type c usb 3

00:07:53.840 --> 00:08:00.160
front panel connector and a couple dimm slots but

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:05.199
all of that comes at a cost it's not strictly speaking itx which is square

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

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:15.360
as your itx case has an extra pci slot to accommodate a

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

00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:27.120
not actually tested that yet this is where i find out if i'm going AMD

00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:30.479
oh it's perfect we're going AMD

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:37.680
in goes our memory oh yeah i never even talked about the rear i o

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:40.240
BIOS reset clear cmos audio wi-fi 6 a

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:44.800
bunch of usb 3 ports freaking awesome and spit if you're still into that sort

00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:48.880
of thing is it multi-gigabit lan that would be sweet

00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:52.880
it's not

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:56.560
especially on itx boards it makes the biggest difference because realistically

00:08:54.800 --> 00:09:00.000
you can't install a 10 gig lan card if you want because

00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:05.279
where would you put it i mean if i really wanted to

00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:08.000
i could use the sodium.2 and then one of

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

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:16.240
could like put it somewhere i'm not that desperate though

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.600
okay so with that in there now we're just building a computer

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.360
it's the thing about small form factor machines it's like everything looks so

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:27.680
clean and compact then you gotta wire everything up

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:33.600
the whole day ruined like why did silverstone put cables this long

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.120
on the usb 3 connector why

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:40.880
it needs to go this far

00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:44.080
does this even have front audio did i cut it off or something

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

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:53.519
put the front panel on before the graphics card in this case the graphics

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:58.320
card goes in quite early dang it

00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.320
of course i put in all four screws

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:11.600
now one funny idiosyncrasy of this build is that it uses an internal fan header

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:13.120
to run the fans that are in the cabinet

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:18.160
around the computer so i just need to run these out the top

00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:21.680
of the pci slot cover here before i put the power supply in

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:25.279
not the most elegant thing ever you know in fairness to me this is

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:29.040
actually pretty darn tidy for a compact build let's go ahead and run our power

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.560
supply cables then we'll install the power supply i usually find that's a

00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:36.240
little bit easier and this is where the cable management all goes completely to

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:40.399
hell that is really tight

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:44.160
sorry fan cables what did we do to deserve this no

00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:48.880
no help us please

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:53.200
i don't understand why this power supply won't go in

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:58.480
i am legitimately super confused right now i have no idea what's going on

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:02.800
certainly not the glamiest machine we've ever done but look at that clearance in

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

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:11.279
lots of room for the fan so hopefully we're not restricting airflow too much i

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:14.230
mean i wish this 24 pin wasn't right across here there's nothing we can

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:17.299
really do about that

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.839
this is stupid

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.040
oh boy this would slow us down a lot if this machine wasn't booting

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

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:42.959
oh i always say it's bad luck to close up the panels

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.360
before you test to make sure the system works

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:53.680
um okay well i can see postcodes now

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:57.839
wait what you got to be kidding me all i did was take the panel off

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:04.240
you got to be kidding me look afraid to put this on now

00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:09.200
so we've turned our memory to its faster profile

00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:11.040
i am setting it to boot to our SSD

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:14.720
uh where are my drives

00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:19.839
okay why are our boot devices not showing up let's go to easy mode maybe

00:12:16.959 --> 00:12:23.760
i'm just maybe it's too advanced for me the system cannot find any bootable

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:28.320
devices but it's right there csm is disabled by default on this thing

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

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:36.480
there it is all right we good

00:12:33.839 --> 00:12:41.519
let's get booted into Windows all the devices are detected

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

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

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:55.040
it handles it so theoretically

00:12:52.800 --> 00:13:00.240
i should be able to record gameplay
