WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.319 building a five-star PC that's easy all 00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.200 you have to have is money but what if you don't I mean that two star 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.360 motherboard could hold the key to incredible savings couldn't be that bad 00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:18.039 could it to find out we built a PC using 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:24.599 only the worst rated parts that we could find on newegg.com and we ended up with 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:31.719 this and sure from the outside she's not so bad but on the inside it's a black 00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:35.719 hole misery a 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:39.399 disappointment maybe or maybe it's fine 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.520 to find out we need to go back to the 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:46.960 beginning the beginning the beginning starting with 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:53.120 the ryzen 5 8500g AMD never sent these out to 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:55.120 reviewers for evaluation and if our 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:59.640 experience with it is anything to go by that's probably for good reason you see 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:04.840 the compromises that AMD made on this chip are a lot especially if you 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:11.280 consider the not very low $180 price only two of its six cores are 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.479 full-size zen4 and while the integrated Graphics are decent compared to the 00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:19.759 competition when the time comes to upgrade them you will be shocked shocked 00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:25.479 I say to discover that your GPU slot could be running at as slow as 1/8 the 00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:30.159 bandwidth of other modern PCS and it gets even worse modern storage drives 00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:35.439 can end up with their bandwidth cut and depending who you believe this chip 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.040 might only support single Channel memory 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.079 who does AMD imagine this thing is for maybe you're building a super power 00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:48.159 efficient PC but can't afford the better balanced 8600 G well I urge you 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:53.360 theoretical customer um let's name you Grover please wait for a sale on 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:59.000 something else or consider the Intel 14100 with a discrete GPU or almost 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:06.960 literally anything else this truly is the worst current chip so in it goes 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:09.080 into our motherboard that is after we 00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:13.160 look at this message from our sponsor acronis arm your it Department with 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:17.280 centrally managed protection against cyber threats and with backup and 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.040 Recovery capabilities with aonis cyber protect check out their easy to use 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.480 all-in-one solution using the link in the video description 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:38.280 at first glance the prime b650 plus from Asus seems downright decent professional 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:43.200 reviewers touted its well-rounded features so I can see why Grover might 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:48.720 be eyeing it at least until he sees these user reviews and guys I know three 00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:53.319 stars doesn't necessarily mean something is garbage I mean we could have found a 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:57.640 onear motherboard if we looked hard enough but we felt that it was best to 00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:03.799 limit our search to products that had more than just a handful of reviews and 00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:05.519 besides while three stars is average 00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:10.040 would you eat at a three star restaurant on Google Maps one where half of the 00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:14.599 customers say that the food is delicious and the other half say it's 00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:18.959 defective multiple people mentioned that the diagnostic LEDs don't work on this 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:25.640 board which could be an issue if we're going to push our twar mushin enhanced 00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:28.760 Redline memory to the Limit Yep this 00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:32.720 right here is 64 whole gigs of the worst 00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:34.879 rated DDR5 RAM we could find jealous 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:40.720 well you probably shouldn't be see it's rated for 6,400 megga transfers per 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.000 second but based on the reviews it seems very unlikely that we're going to be 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:48.840 seeing those speeds which was a little surprising for me I mean mushin's a real 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:54.560 brand and at $25 it's not even cheap so with so many 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.239 other options at the same price why would Grover choose these ones oh 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:05.120 speaking of price how much was the motherboard $180 180 bucks I mean that 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:09.480 seems like a god motherboards have gotten 00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:11.760 expensive this is a b650 board yep 00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:17.959 that's not even a top tier one well at least our storage was cheap that's right 00:04:13.799 --> 00:04:22.560 folks just $40 for the SATA ad data 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:25.960 Premier SP 580 with a huge 120 billion 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:28.600 bytes of storage which is what enough 00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:33.680 for Windows in one game let's see what the people have to say about about this 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:36.600 one uh dead dead defected oh here's a 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:41.560 five star review wait blue screens but he's not sure it's because of the SSD 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.840 that is a super weird thing to mention in a five-star review for a product and 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:51.800 things aren't looking much better for SSD number two which we bought another 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:54.199 junk SSD I mean at least the team group 00:04:51.800 --> 00:05:00.160 gx2 has the potential to be more useful thanks to its 2 tbyte capacity but again 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:03.840 that's only if it stays functional you know what's hard to screw up these 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:11.639 days though a case but you know who managed it begears the B bigger managed 00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:14.880 to get only 2.9 Stars the question for 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:17.840 me is why there's a lot to like here 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.919 tempered glass fold my trap this came untaped at the bottom and so when you 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:26.039 picked it up it just fell out it was shrink wrapped and then they thought 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.440 that was a good idea I guess what they never taped the Box no and so twice 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:35.560 people picked it up and it just flew out the bottom oh so the tempered glass side 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:41.400 panel could be a bug not a feature if you're going to drop it on the floor 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:43.639 increased air flow also the photos make 00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:49.199 this case look like fans are included and actually make it look pretty sick in 00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:52.520 general but uh in person it looks more 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.800 ill than sick the Glass isn't held in 00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:59.240 place by anything there's no little nubbins no little Groove to put it in or 00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:04.800 anything like that where would you even put front 120 mm fans in this case it 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.639 straight up doesn't have the mounts for them I I remember we looked at the 00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:13.000 pictures of this in script riew I do you have do you have a picture sure it there 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:17.000 there is no fans in the front of the picture of the I thought there were no 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.560 no they just kind of strategically take the picture so it kind of seems like it 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.599 yep you could definitely infer that that RGB is coming from fans on the inside 00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:27.840 and the bottom too like where would that where would the RGB here be coming from 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.960 yeah that's a straight up lie there is no RGB coming through there 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.919 realistically though aside from feeling a little deceived there's nothing 00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:39.360 inherently wrong with the case that is 00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:42.800 as long as I don't want to have a ton of air flow Not only was there nowhere for 00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:48.759 fans in the front there's nowhere for air to come into the case but that seems 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:53.080 like a problem for future lus is this like really 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:58.599 unstable this is really easy to tip over compared to most cases it's so light and 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.560 it's so narrow anyway we weren't able to 00:06:58.599 --> 00:07:04.319 find a particularly low rated cooler so we're going to throw the stock cooler on 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:10.840 here I can't say the same however for our fans if the reviews of the Z3 pros 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:15.759 from montech or anything to go by I have very high expectations for them that is 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:19.879 to say I expect they will make a high amount of noise I don't want to keep 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.919 harping on the case but there is absolutely nowhere to Cable manage the 00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:27.080 cables for these fans or the eight pin EPS connector for the motherboard so 00:07:25.479 --> 00:07:33.400 good luck David okay that's why I strategically took the rear fan the 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:34.960 these fans literally are mashed up 00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:39.319 against the vrm cooler of this motherboard this is a really tight case 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:43.680 moving on to our power supply you may recall that gigabyte was Under Fire pun 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.479 intended for setting the over Power Protection and overcurrent protection on 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:53.120 these units too high meaning that under heavy load some spectacular failures 00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:58.199 took place some of which took other components with them gigabyte ultimately 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:02.479 did offer Replacements and they fixed the issue in their newer units but it's 00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:07.560 clear from the reviews on this thing that the reputational damage was done 00:08:04.599 --> 00:08:12.919 and honestly I'm kind of surprised that they didn't just relaunch this as a new 00:08:10.039 --> 00:08:17.960 skew to move away from the 240 onear reviews that are on this power 00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:22.120 supply while we were wiring it up we found some serious problems with this 00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:27.960 case there's only one spot to mount a 2 and 1/2 in drive down here in the bottom 00:08:25.159 --> 00:08:33.000 every other hole is not properly aligned so I don't know I guess other SSD just 00:08:30.599 --> 00:08:39.360 goes here but hey it's got correctly spaced tabs and screw holes for 5 and 00:08:35.959 --> 00:08:40.599 1/4 in Optical drives three of them even 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:46.360 though there would be nowhere for them to slide into I love this thing also if 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:51.040 you have the top uh fan installed there is no way to install an 8 Pin power 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:53.920 connector on the top of this board that might not be an issue with every board 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.120 but it's definitely an issue with this one I could rip the clip off do it I 00:08:56.760 --> 00:09:04.600 need a knife okay nice wow this cable 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:06.600 management is awful and it's not about 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:14.120 to get any better at least it won't get much worse our Sparkle ecoar A310 4 gig 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:15.839 GPU does not require an external power 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:20.640 connector wow that's one of the best things about 00:09:18.079 --> 00:09:25.680 it though it's been our position for a long time that there is a class of GPU 00:09:22.839 --> 00:09:31.880 that is less Graphics processing unit and more display adapter for your PCIe 00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:34.560 slot and that's pretty much the story 00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:38.839 here unless like Anonymous you are a video transcoding Enthusiast where it 00:09:36.839 --> 00:09:45.440 can offer a pretty good value not to mention outstandingly low power 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:47.560 consumption at just 50 Watts if like 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:52.640 some folks you buy this and expect to be doing any gaming on it though you're 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:57.270 going to be sorely disappointed especially with this one that apparently 00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:00.350 has issues with the cooling fan 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:06.880 wait I know I'm interrupting b-roll to talk about the case again but to put a 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.600 glass side panel on this did they literally just take an existing chassis 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:16.120 drill four holes in it thread them and then put it on like it's got mounting 00:10:13.959 --> 00:10:20.720 for a regular metal side panel it's all visible and if they were going to just 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.120 put the holes anywhere anyway why didn't they make them symmetrical it took me 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.519 three attempts to put this glass panel on they couldn't even put the little 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:32.240 grommet on the right spot so there's just a second hole in it getting into 00:10:30.760 --> 00:10:37.480 the rest of the setup I don't know what's so bad about this monitor I mean 00:10:34.040 --> 00:10:41.279 yeah it's only 1080p but 165 HZ 1 MC 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.560 moving picture response time ah 2.8 out 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:49.519 of 5 eggs and mostly comes down to reliability issues breaks down after 6 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:51.639 months cool this is a fun one you've 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:55.680 probably seen this desk pad somewhere in fact you might have even seen it on our 00:10:53.279 --> 00:11:01.519 channel before and the reviews across every Marketplace it occupies are bad 00:10:59.560 --> 00:11:07.279 but what caught our attention more than anything is the awful seller ratings for 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:13.040 it how is this store given a toprated status on New Egg if they have so many 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:17.160 negative reviews I mean three stars on 00:11:13.040 --> 00:11:18.920 402 reviews ain't good and it's the 00:11:17.160 --> 00:11:24.240 packaging that seems to be the primary issue they apparently fold it instead of 00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:28.000 rolling it and my notes just say talk about why they would do that based on 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:33.880 everything we've learned from selling desk pads David there is no reason to 00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:38.000 fold the desk pad instead of rolling it and what's funny is we did buy this from 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:42.880 that seller and they did roll it they just put it in a plastic bag so I don't 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:47.200 know when they figured it out but hey they finally did either way at 20 bucks 00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:50.680 this is a terrible value just pick up a mystery desk pad from LTT Store.com it's 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:56.079 bigger and better and it doesn't identify Winnipeg as one of the three 00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:01.279 important cities in Canada our Capital Cities not on here in fact the American 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:06.480 cap capital's not on here they got New York Chicago Dallas Denver and Los 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:08.839 Angeles where the is Washington as bad 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:15.519 as it is though it is nothing compared to our Ruckus 4-in-1 Pro gaming kit this 00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:21.480 has two and 1 half stars out of five on Walmart with one user calling it the 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.000 worst thing I've ever used and saying I 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:28.720 feel ashamed just to own it why does Southern Telecom Inc even make gaming 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.480 peripherals remember when lightning was cool never stop being cool yeah me 00:12:30.680 --> 00:12:39.959 neither wait this is a super weird Legend they put WD on the arrow keys 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:42.600 what and there's no Windows key what it 00:12:39.959 --> 00:12:48.760 has a Windows lock unless this is a Windows key and the lock is you function 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:51.680 Windows no that would be so stupid I'm a 00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:56.839 reasonable person and a 2.5 is not good enough for you so I got you a 2.6 00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.440 keyboard and it's ergonomic you got two sets of peripherals just the keyboard 00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:06.279 wow I'm I'm a reasonable person internet and multimedia hot Keys three color 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:11.279 illuminated backlight and split key design you know what though I did a lot 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:16.839 of my early gaming on an ergo keyboard h i don't think you know that no but you 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:21.320 accidentally put me back in my element this is what was missing now 00:13:18.880 --> 00:13:24.880 you're a pro again seems serviceable as far as these go and hey it's got two 00:13:23.079 --> 00:13:29.680 Windows keys to make up for that last one you uh missed the most important 00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:34.440 upgrade another uh mouse pad oh good wow the oh that's what makes it 4 in one 00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:39.560 nice and it almost lies flat this is remarkable this may be the 00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:44.920 single worst feeling headset that I have ever touched oh that's pretty good touch 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:48.839 the ear cups what is wrong with these 00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:51.079 why also this driver is it's like right 00:13:48.839 --> 00:13:54.800 there you look like a game this is terrible and in order to justify the 00:13:53.240 --> 00:14:00.279 molding costs they have to make thousands of these thousands of Gamers 00:13:58.040 --> 00:14:06.920 yeah are experience in two and a half star gaming hey those fans actually look 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:11.519 pretty cool kind of noisy but that can probably be configured don't push a ton 00:14:09.079 --> 00:14:16.959 of air for how loud they are I have to be touching the metal to feel any air 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:19.399 moving huh I hate these peripherals guys 00:14:16.959 --> 00:14:24.320 for around $50 or less The Cooler Master mm 712 looks awesome or the Logitech 00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:27.399 g305 there's lots of options for great budget keyboards we're going to have 00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:30.920 some suggested peripherals for the same price as what we paid for this garbage 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:36.480 Linked In the video description uh 00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:39.720 Decor oh apparently there's decor and 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:44.480 we've limited ourselves to one item and 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:46.800 it's one star it's one star oh I get 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:51.160 wait is that a Mario star with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat it certainly 00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:57.519 looks like a Mario star and I love it so much was this poorly rated no it's just 00:14:54.839 --> 00:15:03.480 one star oh I get it all right thanks David am I supposed to get an output for 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:04.959 from this uh yes I mean I guess it 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:11.519 shouldn't really surprise us if the lowest rated PC 00:15:07.839 --> 00:15:13.240 died oh the RAM did I put the did I put 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:18.680 the RAM in the near slots I actually did notice that I meant to mention it wow 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:23.600 what a rookie error not that it should matter it should probably still post but 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:27.120 um those aren't the best slots to put the first two sticks of memory in you 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:31.519 know what other than the fact that the case is a complete piece of crap I don't 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:37.240 hate it is that supposed to be color it looks like it's 00:15:32.880 --> 00:15:40.000 trying maybe oh yeah wait I didn't I 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:42.240 didn't see any RGB lead on it no it was just a 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:50.720 Molex dude there's two more leads off of this 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:55.519 thing I think this is actually an RGB LED strip but they yeah oh yeah yeah no 00:15:54.199 --> 00:16:00.480 you can tell you can tell cuz if you cover some of it it turns a color but 00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:05.079 they didn't install the other leads so there's no control it's just powered at 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:13.199 least the systems posted though let's see if we can get Expo enabled ddr5 6400 00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:14.399 I believe see let's go my question is 00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:19.920 whether it's going to be running in dual Channel mode M we saw conflicting 00:16:17.839 --> 00:16:25.920 information about the support for dual or single Channel memory on this CPU it 00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:29.040 doesn't make any sense to me wait no it 00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:31.480 can't be single Channel because we saw 00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:35.519 the full capacity of the memory if it only had a single Channel you wouldn't 00:16:32.680 --> 00:16:40.079 be able to populate both both Channels with two dims okay yeah so where did 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:43.959 that come from it's really weird it's really good that it runs in dual Channel 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:49.920 because if you have onboard Graphics you're using your system memory as your 00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:51.279 vram and slow vram is a killer for 00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:57.720 gaming performance so this thing would be way worserer than we thought it 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:59.480 was oh are we not getting 6,400 though I 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.199 don't think so hey hey hey oh but maybe it just 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:09.880 rebooted a couple times and went back no cuz it would have prompted us to go into the BIOS I think we got full memory 00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:13.120 speed though it's worth noting that that is as much to do with the integrated 00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:17.600 memory controller on your CPU and your board layout as it is to do with your 00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:20.520 memory sticks so 6,400 megat transfers 00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:27.559 per second let's go this SSD is running at 100% usage just booting up Windows oh 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:32.480 my God I want to know how many PCIe lanes my GPU is getting not that I think 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:36.559 it actually needs a ton of them but it will tell us if we wanted to put a more 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:47.960 powerful GPU in here whether it would be bottlenecked and the answer is PCIe Gen 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:50.000 4x8 at by4 is that a power saving thing 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:56.039 or is it actually only getting four lanes by the way this mouse is 00:17:52.600 --> 00:17:59.320 intolerable oh really let's give it a 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.520 chance oh yeah put it on this quality 00:17:59.320 --> 00:18:05.200 you know what the desk pad's actually helping a fair bit the included mouse 00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:10.000 pad has some really high contrast lines on it and cheap sensors can struggle to 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:14.360 track across high contrast lines we don't even have any m.2 drives installed 00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:20.480 no so it's not like we're using up all the PCI lane somewhere else I think this 00:18:16.840 --> 00:18:23.880 thing only runs at by4 unless this Arc 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:25.799 GPU only has a by4 interface does it I 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:34.720 thought that's possible by it's the GPU that's by eight 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:37.200 running it by four ah wow so it wasn't 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:42.360 reporting the link speed and the active link speed it's reporting the capability 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:48.679 of the GPU and what the active link speed is wow that sucks I'm sorry little 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.799 buddy so I haven't actually used HW info for this very much I usually use GPU I 00:18:50.679 --> 00:18:56.840 don't know why I didn't just download that but anyway we figured it out I can see why people don't like the fan on 00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:02.080 this GPU I know I have firmar running but still now that our system's up and 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:07.159 running it's time to put Grover's black hole build to the test with some 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.799 famously review bombed games starting with Team Fortress 2 why are they mad at 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.919 Val for Team Fortress there a Bots there's a bot issue where you any game 00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:18.600 you join you just instantly start getting sniped and I just SP it's still 00:19:15.919 --> 00:19:24.440 that yes cool how old is this game now like 15 years 00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:27.679 old7 17 years old good you'll get old 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:29.720 too what you're in Secure mode what does 00:19:27.679 --> 00:19:34.679 that mean oh uh did seem just crash what is 00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:41.960 happening right now what is it's almost like we built a bad computer on purpose 00:19:38.360 --> 00:19:45.159 yeah blue screen I saw it on that one 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.919 what yeah no way yeah it went I saw a 00:19:45.159 --> 00:19:52.120 blue screen appear in the capture I'm going to try one more time 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:58.320 sure I'm going to try one more time not currently connected to the TF game 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:58.320 coordinator service please try again 00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:05.240 let's turn the RAM down okay interesting 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:10.679 we turned the RAM back to J deck speeds and immediately I was able to queue for 00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:12.720 a casual game immediately I really hate 00:20:10.679 --> 00:20:17.559 wearing these they're really really uncomfortable also the volume Wheels 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:22.600 like backwards instead of bringing it towards yourself to turn it up yeah you 00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:26.880 push away to turn it up huh who does that what is happening right now I guess 00:20:25.520 --> 00:20:31.679 let's try a different like join a different game I can't interact with the 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:35.240 game window or like I can't bring it back to focus should we just move on to 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:39.600 another game to another game the game runs whatever we can't see the FPS but 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:45.640 it's getting lots of FPS it's an ancient game our next one is Kerbal Space 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:48.919 Program 2 Early Access 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:50.960 which I know about this controversy 00:20:48.919 --> 00:20:56.320 basically they launched Early Access for the sequel to Kerbal Space Program and 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:58.240 then the developer was shut down which 00:20:56.320 --> 00:21:05.679 happens sometimes you know business decision except you can totally still buy this 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.480 game it's not done it's never going to 00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:10.960 be done no don't do that don't set it to 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:18.559 high no oh okay medium uh low is 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:23.720 hard got it I've never actually played kbal 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.080 NE oh this really doesn't look that good 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:32.360 for what kind of frame rate it's running at look at these trees I have 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:37.960 absolutely no idea what I'm doing okay this seems like something yeah hey we're 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:44.360 about 40 frames oh okay fuel tank okay cool okay nice sure another fuel tank 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:51.360 lots of fuel all right okay let's see what happens let's launch it 00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:53.880 woo nine frames a second baby let's go 00:21:51.360 --> 00:22:01.320 you're going to space Oh Oh Our parachute is deployed already we are we 00:21:56.360 --> 00:22:01.320 are rocketing into our parachute oh 00:22:01.919 --> 00:22:07.679 God it's glorious at a glorious 10 00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:10.919 frames per second like you'd think it would run out of fuel oh yeah no we're 00:22:09.159 --> 00:22:15.039 almost out of fuel we go the crash is imminent this is so slow all right I 00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:19.559 think I've seen it yeah I don't think the crash will be spectacular anyway 00:22:16.679 --> 00:22:22.760 last up hell divers 2 30 frames per second I'm getting 30 frames per second 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:27.960 you get 30 look to be I'm not saying it looks great I'm just saying that's 00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:32.279 definitely 30 frames per second but let's let's let's get you on a planet 00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:32.279 and see what happens 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:42.480 okay it doesn't look terrible for all low honestly man low on Modern games 00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:44.200 looks not bad all right I'm a hell diver 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:48.520 look at me diving I'm diving to hell we're running at Native render scale hey 00:22:46.159 --> 00:22:52.200 that's hey 310 might not be as bad as we thought it was that being said do you 00:22:50.919 --> 00:22:58.559 want to know the price of this whole system how much should we pay $1,025 00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:00.440 just for the tower for that price you 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:07.000 can get a much better system with like a 7600 and like a 6600 GPU uh you are way 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:11.799 better spending your money elsewhere yeah this is a terrible value yeah you 00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:16.159 know what I want to know would we be having a better gaming experience if we 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:20.880 didn't buy the ark 310 at all oh I'm curious about that too we should try our 00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:22.880 onboard Graphics let's do it uh uh roll 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:27.120 oh I think you might have missed it but uh that was weird I don't know if we're 00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:31.640 going to be gaming on this GPU well first I disabled the AR Windows and we 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:36.240 moved the HDMI over and the system hard rebooted then we booted up just now and 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:39.720 the screen came up with the Asus BIOS splash screen except there was like 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:43.120 green lines everywhere if only there was some way we could have predicted that 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:48.320 this would happen you know I've always wondered like who's buying these 00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:50.760 low-rated parts who is our hypothetical 00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:55.480 Grover like obviously you're budget conscious but you're anxious about the 00:23:52.720 --> 00:24:01.480 risk of buying used computer parts um maybe you shop based on Word of Mouth or 00:23:58.159 --> 00:24:04.279 brand name rather than like looking at 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:09.039 reviews like I get it reviews can be manipulated 00:24:06.679 --> 00:24:13.720 so maybe you don't trust them which is fair enough especially with overly 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:19.279 positive reviews but I think it's clear from this exercise that if you ignore 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:22.080 online reviews completely you do so at 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:26.320 your peril bottom line there are many reasons why a product might get a low 00:24:23.919 --> 00:24:30.799 review score and After experiencing all of them for myself it's safe to say say 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:35.799 listen to the people who bought it before you did and it's safe to say 00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:39.760 listen to
