Alex don't worry about it cool Rog rig reboot
is back where all the coolest kids in our community submit their crappy
machines so we can give them an Ultimate Upgrade courtesy of ASUS Rog and we
almost have one of those cool kids but instead we ended up with Alex here Rock
Paper Scissors Shoot I win maybe not I'm just a pro so check it out that is gonna
be your new machine and what are you gonna play on it Roblox
thank you
now you fancy yourself something of a rapper can you do a little bit of
freestyle for us my name is Alex
and I'm building a PC I don't know how to rap
um in Madison's Rog rigor boot she said
something about originally I wanted to do what everyone did which is a rap
video but then I realized I didn't want to be the cringy person that did a rap
video that's that's what I did and you know what Madison I think well Madison
won so she's right but I'm right too you know let's have a look at this machine
now you claim that you've been watching the channel for four or five years which
means oh I claim that you should have pretty much seen every previous RG Rigby
boot which means that you should have a really good idea of what's coming for
you is all that seem accurate that seems that seems really accurate okay
so in that case have fun have fun uh so Linus has left
the building apparently and I'm here I'm your host today right okay so I have a
Dell XPS something old it's really old
it would freeze like constantly I have a square Monitor and a rectangular monitor
square one has like a huge red line going through it it's past its prime
definitely um I'm impressed you know everyone else
claims that they've watched previous Rog rig reboots but then they're surprised
when I'm not actually that helpful it seems like you were ready for it okay we
do start with the motherboard what can you tell me about this thing mom I have
never built a PC before but I have put a hard drive into the bad computer so I
guess that kind of counts but not really your timing for RG rig reboot was pretty
freaking awesome because Intel just launched their 12th gen Alder Lake
platform which means you are getting a shiny new Maximus z690 formula board
this thing has all the bells and whistles the shine gives you extra FPS ddr5 PCI Express gen 5. you even get
this thing look at this thing you were going to just take this out without even
looking at it it's just a thing look at this m.2 carrier card you can put a PCIe
Gen 5 m.2 in here is this really gonna be my computer put it over there what
what what is this unboxing job I put it upside down that's how you do it right
where does the motherboard go mom can you help uh oh on the top of the
box good always hold the motherboard by things that are not the PCB maybe make
it do a little backflip or something yeah okay okay I managed to touch the
what part do you need next uh CPU CPU yes Corsair makes CPUs that's my one
hint for you Alder Lake 2020 oh is this a lake
but like you can't game in at a lake um anyway you got this Alex hey that's
the cooler what no what it's like
you know
Alex this is serious if you break these the computer is dead there's nothing I
can do for you this is very cool to look at so there's a 12 900k okay so top of
the line core I9 don't screw it up don't screw it I'm serious I cannot fix it for
you circle circle triangle my friends accuse me of being shapist and I don't
agree that's good you should get a close-up of this Pro uh whoa wow I
either broke it or it did it correctly I'm just gonna assume I broke it so that
Linus can give me another computer ASUS you wouldn't get your video you did a
great job the CPU is in you can fit so much RAM in this bad boy 128 gigs we
didn't get 220 okay I was about to say I was about to say that
I've already weeded in so like did he just admit to the consumption of drug
substances you want to talk about how much you hate Corsair now that they gave
you I know I didn't say anything bad about Corsair Corsair they are the
dominators that's your sixth lie today you're not even from Florida are you
is that right you can see it I can't see it because um and also I didn't snap
them in no I don't think it's installed correctly so you might want to give that
another did I just manage to touch them anyway let's not talk about that there
we go do you play a lot of sports Alex bowling yeah is that a sport in Canada
no we have ice bowling it's called purling oh that's what that is you got
your CPU and your Ramen good job boom
nope I see I told you you'd correct me if I'm wrong I have protection of the
tech tip himself oh storage
hey I like it hmm that is Tiny actually
so she said oh here here oh that is a screwdriver quick clicks
it's like ASMR Oh Canada they unscrew it to the right
that's so crazy so what you want to do you could do that
that's mental gymnastics this is Canadian physics
I bet your normal computer is like actually really good and it just
performs crappy because you suck well no
we all right let's try and speed this up get him out of here Chop Chop race car
yeah but in Canada the headline is Florida man builds a computer wow why
isn't this going ever going to finish screwing this and look like you're not
you're not making any progress at all screw lines up with the screw hole Alex
yes but like what is this going is it oh
I got it in I got it in is this going oh good for you
can you please get this done I know please
I'm jacked just like this computer case from ASUS Rog you know I've said many
times in the past that I feel like my audience is really A Cut Above the
average YouTube audience and Linus Tech tips I think that's so true I just don't
really have any evidence for it at this point have you met like a flat earther
they don't have any evidence so you're calling me a flat earther for thinking
that you are I'm saying you have an opinion that's wrong
I feel like this is definitely not correct but okay whatever and then you
take the box off like a true basketball player who has seven feet tall okay you
know you're never going to be a pro basketball player right yeah I know
oh my God she's trying to like WWE
this is something or other that's the real reason we do these RG reboots we
need someone to come in and make it look hard every once in a while so people really appreciate what we do around here
you can lay down so much computer in there and lay down so much computer in
there are you even listening to yourself what who listens to themselves
boom type it's not that is not even close to what
is correct wow wow that was I'll tell you what if you have this motherboard in
before my watch says 140 you can appear on TechLinked go okay what is
okay let's just like that
you actually did a great job of screwing this motherboard why are you coming over
here your mom's over there my mom's oh
let's go let's go let's go let's go unless my ARM's getting tired if the
Verge could build a computer I can right foreign this is a crucial 2.5 inch solid
straight this is so light oh my God is this a prank it's like a prank show oh
there's four terabytes of storage careful with it please that is a lot of
space wow okay it goes um
I'm so confused this this the top am I
just oh what year were you born uh all
of them are you ever going to take off this giant plastic Shield thing this
would my brain is ticking like uh like the you
know the app the phone app Tick Tock why is this not work why is it what does
this oh it just doesn't come that's a captive thumb screw boom I did it no I
didn't top 10 moments where they celebrate too early yeah like my kids
did this I would be pretty disappointed aren't your kids like five yeah
there's no way in they have one there is
no way it's lined up it's lined up perfectly
and it's not going in I feel like this is set up like I'm telling you the game
show person's gonna come out and be like you've been pranked you know uh go back
to Florida this is the world power
wait what am I doing wait no you're doing better than Madison thanks Madison
for doing worse than me I appreciate it it's not that seems fine anyway all
right oh my God this is gonna be so beautiful this is no this is great this
is what did I just do it's a triple A I O So triple 120 millimeter fan Scott RGB
up the butt it's white to match the case this is going to be a sick looking build
if you manages to not break it the black and white color scheme on this thing is
gonna look sharp this is good enough I'm having a good time ooh Linus Tech tips
you should watch more Gamers Nexus hi
Steve I actually don't know where to go from here um me neither this is hopeless oh
can I have a tactic please oh wait oh these are RGB wow these are
these are like our greatest fans Alex less talking more doing how many times
have you said that to him I feel like it's amazing that you've
made it this far guys can we get some respect for Alex's mom in the comments
okay you've got some fans now we are
going to want to mount those fans to our radiator ah these are 100 stop now let's
back up a little bit no not you millimeters are a sensible unit of
measurement at least everybody has a foot like nobody has a centimeter on
them right
you know what I think this is the part where I just start doing things for it I
can't afford that much overtime David be like when's the double time kicking I
love no effort and then this is that's how we're doing it because I'm picking up what your mom's throwing down what
are you doing stop stop from the top from oh from the top that makes things
easier wow two two clicks there you go
use the knurling knurling fast this oh
my God I have no clue what you're talking about
please hurry my back hurts I'm sorry
no it's fine that's the thing
can you stop pulling that back out okay are we good thank you Alex ah no problem
we only have 18 more 11 more but yes
who's counting oh
what is this screwdriver form didn't I just show you how to do this yes okay
can I just what that's what I showed you
oh what my brain just uh evolved like a
Pokemon if only I was tall enough to see it but that's
I feel like this is like going to a doctor and the doctor knows exactly
what's wrong with you you know he's just reading all my symptoms to me straight
from his head like and it takes for profit and gets paid by the minute so
you're getting paid by the minute of sponsorships we do for ASUS Rog rig
2021. I'm convinced that ASUS only sponsors these anymore just to watch me
suffer it's okay they only get to see the 30 minute version of it don't they
condense suffering is what they call it where I live I need the thing right this
thing I don't know what these are like I don't know is there like a third brand
of CPU that I'm missing here like why oh God
that David he just wants to go home on time today thank you
I yeah
okay sure you know what I'm just gonna do it whatever unless I need the screws
interesting interesting interesting development okay am I supposed to put
these in from the no you put them in from the front I'm showing you what to do okay so you just find one and screw
it in I believe in you I don't I think I need the the Ratchet
and Clank or whatever it's called it's not like a movie her book her book yeah it's a book yeah
it's by Mark Twain okay then you take it you do it oh it's fine no don't worry I
didn't touch anything boom boom boom perfect can you use the screwdriver
please we need to do some cable management this is my least favorite part I love this
how about you just help me by grabbing you know what why don't I just do the
whole thing why don't I do both you know that sounds nice yeah like more Linus
less tech tech
solve the mystery of which of these plug into the thing you're holding into oh
it's a thing I'm holding all of them
one two three four five six huh okay is
it it can't no it can't
that's what can I phone a friend okay look away say
what so what did you even do I plugged them all
in well you told me to look away so I don't know what you want from me please
just plug them in please no it's back you dispense no but
it was bent it's fine no you bent no but it was bent like background no it was no
it's completely crooked yeah right you can put it back where it was exactly but
it was like crooked the other direction
we need like um like a lazy Susan Lazy Lazy River okay
can you the AIO is over here well every time every time I move around you like
you might move your hands so that I can't see the degrees look it's 180
degrees Fahrenheit I'm even speaking Freedom Units okay no I get it now
that's great okay now we need to plug in
this actually it's long so it has to go behind stop it has to go through stop
back my standards are getting real low at this point I don't your real low is
my three more computers that I have that didn't make sense don't don't put that
in you know every time you say don't put that in they put it in right
how's that for cable management there uh I can't see it one other nice feature of
this board is it has a crazy number of RGB headers it's got an older style 12
volt one down at the bottom then it has three more of the five volt addressable
ones two on the bottom and then one at the top here which makes the cable management kind of a treat the GeForce
RTX 3080. okay can you just get the power supply I'll get the power supply
thank you now unfortunately your cable
mod cables didn't arrive in time for us to do the build today so we're going to
swap them out for you but um you can still assemble I get even
more Linus Tech tips
smells like gaming thanks Jesus do you have any idea how many watts fit in
there but Watts don't have weight this is your 15 minutes of fame right now and
this is how you chose to use it b48 that sounds like an Atari game
um get me the rest of the cables I need that was
all of the cables could you maybe pick out one that I
actually need or two oh oh like like do you just want me to get oh PCIe help me
Alex this one this one I don't know if that graphics
card has two eight pin power connectors or three so I needed you to find that
out for me while I do all the work is it tape it's tape if I cannot figure
out how to open up the box I want to be so sad what would I do I'd have to
return it and email them to ask it it has three there's a picture of it on the
other side of the box
where'd you see three oh yeah that's
like an Easter egg but it's not Easter it's like when is this coming out around
here we go okay let's see how many of
the cables I can plug in while you work on that one
did you get it maybe it's not it do I
just push it in more um I mean you could try that but is that not gonna work I'm
not going to let you leave here without a working computer it just might not be this one that's
fine it just might be a Raspberry Pi I might just keep this oh I have one of
those it's great I eat one every day for breakfast my mom says it'll make me fat
I think that's not a concern for you I do 10 push-ups a day Linus do you do 10
push-ups a day let's see it those are good push-ups actually his form is
actually excellent he's slowing down though
so you're gonna find the HD audio port
okay which oh wow that's weird there's
two extra pins on the front audio front
panel audio header then you got your hydro node signal
on the last two pins why they didn't just do a separate two pin header for
that I don't know but hey there you go that's a feature that it has we've got
right angle USB threes right here these are one of the most likely connectors to
break one of them is actually a right angle as well
I could pull this off but it's faster to just bend it a bit
hey look at that wow you're actually doing mostly really
sort of well actually oh that's awesome they're all in the wrong spots but they
are on pins oh well you know it's good enough
minus is on the left hand minus is on the right but uh otherwise yes no no
that's the right I just said minuses on the right
I'm gonna need a SATA power cable SATA power cable modular cable
good job I'm gonna assume that you know this was the right thing no that is not
yeah these are say to connect oh yeah no I know that because I installed that one
hard drive two years ago are you at least gonna impress me with your gaming
skills I was like first kill in fortnite like two years ago like you got the
first kill or you were no I was the first kill is it negative KD even
possible yes
man Alex we are close so you can have any color of say the cable you want this
is going to be the little splash of color in the build I'll take this one
you're gonna pick red okay I think
anything's a good choice except red I made a pull PowerPoint on why purple's
not a real color and I got an A I guess that's the kind of school you go to
something something indigo violet is it related okay you can see purple so it's
a color but like the thing is there's no like wavelength that's purple that's
that was my point it's it's just violent so it's basically what I just said and
you told me no you ready what are we doing over
are you ready for the GPU yes wow
how did I know well there's only like one component left how did you make such
a mess over here this is the worst way I think I ever cut something ever I don't
want to rip this box I normally rip boxes but I can't for this can I listen
like these boxes are child proof okay and I'm not saying I'm a child but like
I think I'm going to be doing some great Mafia City on this this GPU and that is
if it doesn't fall off the table
why do we need scissors for this
thank you please don't cut up the bag there's a oh there's peel so many peels
let's get let's get peeling let's get peeling Alex there's no more peels is
there on the back David meant you were so close because they're like everywhere
on this thing you can't touch it without being so close to something to peel off
of it wait have you not even mentioned this one thing you were right there's so
many on here I know I was right I told you that was the point of me telling you
so that you would know after I was done telling you
I couldn't get this one off so I'm just gonna let you do it I'm flashing forward
to prom night here there's still more there's more what I told you the whole
thing is covered in peel I don't know how I was like so oblivious to this I
was just grabbing all of the peels at the same time is it really held on by
like just this seven pounds no 18 liters my bad
is it in like am I just being dumb oh
let me put it this way the way that I work out is playing badminton it's like
a water bottle like from lttstore.com when you like open it up like a certain
kind of seconds I went back to my elementary school okay
one of my teachers what they said to me was thank goodness you turned out okay
it's upside down again for the love of God this is not upside down oh no you're
right yeah I want you to unbox this get it set up that's not a good idea this
thing is sick 2560 by 1440 got g-sync
270 Hertz refresh rate if this doesn't
turn you into Elite gamer nothing can nothing can thanks Aces yeah here's your
list how do you do this you hold this down hold it down I like that I like
that okay go like this go like do it again and then it's upside down no who
cares you know what I'm starting to think that
this whole learned helplessness thing from you is just to get other people to do things for you you're enabling this
he like I did no I didn't know there's like this with the box
I don't want to break it and then I come
in I come do the work for it okay no wait I'm trying now are you let's see it
come on let's go Alex and if you drop this thing I do not have
another one for you that's why I'm doing it so slowly Linus no it's too big geez Rick I don't watch
that show you don't watch that show then how did you know what I was talking about because who else is named Rick
for Richard do I take this yeah I take this off otherwise I couldn't game on it
huh pretty much yeah pretty much a hard
mouse pad Alex I have a feeling that with you everything is hard mode all
right we've got an RG strix impact 2 moonlight white I'm really liking the
black and white color scheme of this thing I am as well it looks so sick so
sick keyboards using ASUS's Rog NX red
switches so basically these are just like a light linear mechanical switch
thanks Jesus what happened to the power cord
wait I asked you to plug in the keyboard Alex okay
are you ready um no that's is that the right answer
what that is wow okay the front yeah there's more RGB
in the front it's got all the RGB that's interesting that's super cool this is it
you officially have the best gaming machine in your whole school probably
yeah no definitely for whatever reason ASUS sent over this
this is the RG strix xg16 it is a
portable gaming monitor what basically
it's a 144 Hertz IPS portable monitor
that uses USB type-c for both power and
for display in you can also use micro HDMI I don't think it really has
anything to do with the rest of your machine but they did send it over we've
got one more surprise for you here it is
your very own custom laser etched side
panel I don't know why it says pastry
is it because you're a flake like rice candy it has your fattening
I'm experiencing fast Mouse syndrome
it's it's amazing how smooth things are just Windows moving the mouse around I
noticed it so that's pretty interesting Yeah so basically that's the that's the
refresh rate of your monitor crazy responsive insane in the membrane
yeah yeah did you break the computer already Alex
uh wow wow I have dreams about this wow
indeed I'm a gamer now what would you like to play maybe something city
skylines I played through the first like third of
this game like four times and then I just always restart there because I
uninstall it because I don't have enough space on my computer that's your ally
sorry so yeah feels good right yeah it feels great I feel very Rog rig reboot
right now and I think that is very good
thanks LTT and ASUS Rog for the new
computer I really like it and I really appreciate it thank you so much all
right thanks for watching guys this is RG rig reboot we've got two more coming
for you this year and if you're looking for another video to watch maybe check
out one of our previous years
