1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,040
i'm actually not 100 sure how i got roped into this but somehow

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:14,160
Anthony and i are going head-to-head competing in the first ever tech

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,679
triathlon sponsored by Gigabyte aorus

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,960
it's very simple in the next however long it takes each

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:26,240
of us has to build a gaming computer overclock it and complete this level in

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:31,000
do maternal and whoever does it the fastest wins go

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:45,360
z490 we're going 10th gen baby zed 490.

8
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,079
this is going to be all about controlled

9
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,239
speed okay so thinking carefully before

10
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,039
doing something like closing a box to make sure that i'm not going to need

11
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:00,399
anything else from inside like the mounting hardware for my m.2 drive later

12
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,000
oh wow is Gigabyte the one sensible manufacturer that actually just puts it

13
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:08,000
in the slot where you're going to need it that would be cool because i don't see any mounting hardware in there we're

14
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,360
going to do something unconventional here we're going to start with m.2

15
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,240
and here is our aorus SSD that actually probably i'm not

16
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:25,520
going to be able to put that cooler back on because i think it's got its own color all right component one

17
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,799
done you feeling threatened Anthony no

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,960
look i'm doing harder stuff are you i

19
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,640
put the m.2 drive on i already did that actually i should probably put the yeah

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,759
put the cooler hardware on first see that pile feeling threatened yet

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,159
Anthony oh lordy there's an aio sure is

22
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:44,400
oh that's gonna slow me down uh are you just gonna throw it on the bench and not

23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,560
put it in the case is that what your plan is no

24
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:53,119
i am going to build this computer completely properly like you've never

25
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:57,360
seen done before okay mr president yeah who's got their case unboxed now so you

26
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,399
might be a professional pc builder but i happen to be a professional unboxer your

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,439
overconfidence is your weakness now i gotta let you guys in on a little secret

28
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,679
here i think Anthony's gonna do at least some

29
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:12,480
basic cable management i'm not

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,480
nothing now under normal circumstances i love to

31
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,640
win and i would pick someone that i'm pretty confident i can beat

32
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,080
but i didn't pick who i was competing against today under normal circumstances

33
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:27,599
you cheat you mean okay we're going to stash that right there i'm going to be

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,720
building right side up we're going to see if my standing build technique is

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,400
better than Anthony's lying down build technique you want me to be able to

36
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,200
build a pc lying down is that what you want me to do i mean anyway you can get

37
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,959
an advantage right this is a perfectly fair and square

38
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,040
competition we're having here Anthony young i'm nothing if not an honorable

39
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,519
competitor Linus and i are doing things in a little bit of a different order we'll see which way works out best

40
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:54,800
motherboards going in what am i doing

41
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:01,519
yeah Linus is really in my head right now not to do that

42
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,360
oh no this fan has closed corners

43
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:06,800
corner blocked i can't you can't stick a cable management thing through the

44
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,519
corner because it's a closed corner ah no please don't do that this is the most

45
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,280
challenging part of a build with an aio oh you mean you

46
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,159
haven't done that yet you've got your aio mounted already no

47
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,159
oh well what i just thought i was really behind because i looked over and i saw

48
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:27,760
the fans like oh wow i'm gonna need to get going i think i'm doing okay

49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,519
actually you're not bad i might even be out of head right you might be

50
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,840
well the reason that i'm pushing as hard as i can to go as fast as i can

51
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,040
for the build is that i am quite worried about Anthony's overclocking skills

52
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:44,799
versus my own these days hashtag lie nus

53
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:50,159
i usually just ask him to deal with it for me if i need something overclocked

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,159
because it's been so long since i've

55
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:55,840
really been you know into the little details around

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,239
overclocking i do not have that luxury today

57
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:07,680
this is where Linus's more nimble fingers come in handy for him so that goes there

58
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:12,239
rtx 2060 super it's a really nice pairing for our 10th

59
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:19,680
gen core i7 oh yes this is a spectacular it's a good

60
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:22,720
it's a good pairing fruity aroma

61
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,360
the way overclocking works is for every

62
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:31,919
percent extra performance you get you get a 2 modifier to your overall time

63
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,120
so there is definitely a benefit to overclocking

64
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:43,360
but neither of us are going to have the time to fully you know dial it in and

65
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:45,360
spend hours and hours fine-tuning it

66
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,479
oh i hear screws dropping over there uh-oh yeah i'll clean those up while the

67
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,040
operating system's installing

68
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:56,040
computer is it a computer it is what kind of monitors are we rocking

69
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:02,400
here cv27q 165 hertz refresh rate one

70
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:08,000
millisecond pixel response times freesync 2 HDR display HDR but to what

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,720
degree i'm gonna assume 400 if it doesn't say otherwise that's usually the

72
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:15,840
safest bet in the meantime moment of truth are you ready baby

73
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,240
oh oh it's

74
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,680
it's awful well there's your problem

75
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:27,680
what is that

76
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,080
uh not actually endorsing this method

77
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,639
is yours rubbing too a little bit

78
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,240
fortunately i have engineered a quick fix let's call back off the screws a little

79
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:49,039
bit okay now's the time to see that bio screen

80
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:52,960
and i am in le BIOS

81
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:55,840
you know what thanks for sponsoring this ars i'm gonna

82
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:02,479
leave your i'm gonna leave your marketing bullet points right there okay

83
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,080
advanced mode we're going uh CPU upgrade

84
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,400
um advan what did that even do

85
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:14,000
gaming profile advance profile what does that even okay well we can turn xmp on

86
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,360
hey ddr4 3600 that's fast

87
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,199
hey Anthony what's Gigabyte's version of multi-core

88
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:25,199
enhancement called i don't know i haven't used many Gigabyte boards you

89
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,360
dick oh no it's called enhanced multi-core performance

90
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:32,840
fantastic enabled why is there a european plug-in here

91
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:38,160
they thought maybe you had to go to the bathroom huh get it huh cause european

92
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:50,080
wait a minute hey uh Colton do these drives have Windows on them

93
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:57,919
Jake hit me with the Windows 10 install usb

94
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,680
i came prepared wait is this usb2

95
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:03,840
how much did you pay him Anthony i didn't pay him anything alex how much did you pay him i didn't pay it what

96
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:12,080
alex what do you mean how much did you pay him to give me a usb 2 drive 500 gig

97
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,080
SSD show me that NVMe install speed

98
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:17,840
what is with my screwdriver today oh god

99
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,319
i forgot about that where are you at Anthony

100
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:28,639
uh installing the operating system

101
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,880
i am pretty far out ahead right now actually i am going to get aorus engine

102
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:36,639
and do some graphics card overclocking

103
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,759
and then i'm going to configure obs that's part of the challenge we have to get obs configured so that we can

104
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:45,440
capture our gaming while we game this is my secret weapon

105
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,560
gaming optimized BIOS there it is

106
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,800
see we're on f3 so that's an older one this is gaming optimized for gamers

107
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,280
now i just have to hope that the power doesn't go out while i'm updating it because then i lose

108
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,280
everything i'm just grabbing some updates

109
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:05,520
doing some other stuff i mean i might as well grab that bias update i guess

110
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:09,599
he's copying my strat i need to figure out what's going on

111
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:14,879
with this weird stability stuff my problem is i think what i need to do is

112
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:18,000
remove my GPU overclocking utility in order to get it behaving normally but

113
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:23,680
it's really hard to do that when it's not behaving normally i decided to go a

114
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:26,639
little unorthodox i don't think that the CPU overclock is going to make too big

115
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:31,759
of a difference so i'm just removing the terminal limit to make sure that that's

116
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:33,519
not a limitation for the GPU i'm gonna

117
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,279
try and push the clocks as far as they'll go this is my secret weapon i

118
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:43,519
bet he turned off hyper threading and stuff too

119
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,959
you're going to turn off hyper threading well for gaming sure why not

120
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,880
you know what that might be a decent idea maybe see now that i'm sharing

121
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,680
ideas why don't we all just you know collaborate and share ideas what's your

122
00:08:52,800 --> 00:09:00,320
secret weapon again uh it's Linux wait what

123
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,320
oh that's a pretty clever idea

124
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:05,839
so it's a bit of a gamble we'll see if it pays off

125
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:09,680
i just found out Anthony is planning to compete with Linux which i probably

126
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:15,040
should have seen coming a mile away we're gonna see how that works out for him because when we did our last gaming

127
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:18,959
on Linux update i was really really impressed by how seamless the experience

128
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,240
has gotten and then there were also times when i was disappointed because

129
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:28,320
between moving the computer from upstairs to downstairs it wasn't behaving the way that we were expecting

130
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
in a couple of cases to be clear i can't blame that on Linux necessarily we've

131
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:37,600
seen the same thing on Windows machines but there's just always a bit of a

132
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,519
die roll involved in this sort of thing for GPU overclocking what i'm using is

133
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:45,440
green with envy it's an open source tool and what it allows me to do is set

134
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:49,440
custom fan profiles set my overclock all of that is currently applied so

135
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,519
i just have the fan running at full tilt power limit at 200 watts and

136
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,839
the GPU offset and memory offset are both set

137
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,760
here i might see if i can get away with a little bit more on the memory so it

138
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,760
seems stable on the desktop but i'm not 100 sure if this is gonna work in a game

139
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,920
33 seconds i get the feeling this is going to come down whoever's better at

140
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,680
doom i'm gonna tell you guys something i'm pretty sure i'm significantly better

141
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,040
at FPS games than him so wait you're saying you're significantly better at

142
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:21,040
FPS games than i am pretty sure i am okay pretty sure we've played together

143
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:25,279
before we played halo yeah and

144
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,160
you were sniping on top of a hill and

145
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,560
were there bullets in your head or not i don't know

146
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,440
yeah exactly because when there's bullets in your head you don't exactly have the self-awareness anymore to know

147
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:39,200
that they're there meanwhile my screen is black that's always a good sign if it

148
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,640
completes a run i'm pretty sure my overclock is dialed in pretty well uh i

149
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,160
could probably squeeze more out of it but i'm not sure if i want to spend that much time seems pretty good so far this

150
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:51,519
is about what i'd expect i've got a good feeling about this

151
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,440
famous last words all i know is i'm looking at about

152
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,519
70 FPS around the fountain here 69 there

153
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:04,079
hopefully that's nice i don't know if it is though all right

154
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,560
average FPS 66. not great

155
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:13,680
okay so i'm at 85. i'm calling that good enough okay we're out of here oh hey there it

156
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,079
is okay

157
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,040
okay so i'm gonna have to be a lot more

158
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:26,160
careful than i'm accustomed to being holy i feel like uh my mouse is not

159
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,680
quite doing right come on glory kills i don't have the chainsaw equipped no time

160
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,160
for this gotta win how's Anthony doing

161
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:38,800
how am i doing pretty sure i'm further along but i may

162
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:43,519
die here never mind

163
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,560
whew i may still die yeah i died

164
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,279
shoot shoot low health low health and i'm dead

165
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,279
crap

166
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,200
oh okay restart the recording steam

167
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:03,279
do me turn on me i think i'm still at a head of Linus

168
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,639
is he really what can i say i'm better at shooters than you thought

169
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:10,639
i was how good is shooters i probably shouldn't be talking smack right about

170
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:15,120
now can't get in there okay this is a problem

171
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,120
it's gone again

172
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,760
83. okay

173
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,959
i'll take that am i done campaign fortress of doom

174
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:31,200
did i finish is this the end or do i have to fight something

175
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:37,200
so what was Anthony's tomb raider FPS 83 what was mine

176
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:41,920
okay hey did i win you know what gg though yeah you definitely won gg you

177
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:45,839
were you were way better at gaming than i expected i was like five minutes ahead

178
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:50,639
but then it crashed and i couldn't get it to reload so like i had to go back and

179
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:54,639
change a bunch of BIOS settings and it wasn't actually any of that five minutes

180
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:58,000
ahead would have been enough for the win yeah oh

181
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:02,880
it was i'm so disappointed and it was my own

182
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:06,320
fault because i chose Linux but like also you you went back into the BIOS and

183
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:12,639
you were fine-tuning like the hyper-threading stuff i ended up not bothering yeah i just left it on and was

184
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:16,320
like forget it i just need to get in this game actually

185
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:22,800
it was worth doing that because when i went back see my original FPS was 66 it was below

186
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:27,200
what Colton got but then i went back disabled hyper threading and then

187
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:31,600
reapplied everything and i got 83. yeah like just trying to diagnose all of this

188
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:35,600
is just not possible in the time we had well either way

189
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:40,800
that was a lot of fun congratulations it takes oh thanks uh we showed that there

190
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:47,839
is no excuse for not building your own gaming rig because between the two of us

191
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:49,760
it only took about two hours to build

192
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:54,079
and beat the first level of doom eternal one nightmare or whatever difficulty we

193
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,600
were playing ultra violence ultraviolets and now i'm the proud owner of this

194
00:13:55,839 --> 00:14:00,880
trophy that i already owned before we started because it belongs to Linus

195
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,839
