WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.040
i'm actually not 100 sure how i got roped into this but somehow

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:14.160
Anthony and i are going head-to-head competing in the first ever tech

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.679
triathlon sponsored by Gigabyte aorus

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.960
it's very simple in the next however long it takes each

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:26.240
of us has to build a gaming computer overclock it and complete this level in

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:31.000
do maternal and whoever does it the fastest wins go

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:45.360
z490 we're going 10th gen baby zed 490.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:50.079
this is going to be all about controlled

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.239
speed okay so thinking carefully before

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.039
doing something like closing a box to make sure that i'm not going to need

00:00:53.360 --> 00:01:00.399
anything else from inside like the mounting hardware for my m.2 drive later

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:04.000
oh wow is Gigabyte the one sensible manufacturer that actually just puts it

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

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:13.360
going to do something unconventional here we're going to start with m.2

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.240
and here is our aorus SSD that actually probably i'm not

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

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.799
done you feeling threatened Anthony no

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:30.960
look i'm doing harder stuff are you i

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

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:39.759
put the cooler hardware on first see that pile feeling threatened yet

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:42.159
Anthony oh lordy there's an aio sure is

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

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:48.560
put it in the case is that what your plan is no

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:53.119
i am going to build this computer completely properly like you've never

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:57.360
seen done before okay mr president yeah who's got their case unboxed now so you

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:02.399
might be a professional pc builder but i happen to be a professional unboxer your

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.439
overconfidence is your weakness now i gotta let you guys in on a little secret

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:09.679
here i think Anthony's gonna do at least some

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.480
basic cable management i'm not

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:16.480
nothing now under normal circumstances i love to

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.640
win and i would pick someone that i'm pretty confident i can beat

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.080
but i didn't pick who i was competing against today under normal circumstances

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

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:32.720
building right side up we're going to see if my standing build technique is

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.400
better than Anthony's lying down build technique you want me to be able to

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

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.959
an advantage right this is a perfectly fair and square

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:47.040
competition we're having here Anthony young i'm nothing if not an honorable

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

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:54.800
motherboards going in what am i doing

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:01.519
yeah Linus is really in my head right now not to do that

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.360
oh no this fan has closed corners

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:06.800
corner blocked i can't you can't stick a cable management thing through the

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

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.280
challenging part of a build with an aio oh you mean you

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.159
haven't done that yet you've got your aio mounted already no

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

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

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.519
actually you're not bad i might even be out of head right you might be

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

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.040
for the build is that i am quite worried about Anthony's overclocking skills

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:44.799
versus my own these days hashtag lie nus

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:50.159
i usually just ask him to deal with it for me if i need something overclocked

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:52.159
because it's been so long since i've

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:55.840
really been you know into the little details around

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.239
overclocking i do not have that luxury today

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

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:12.239
rtx 2060 super it's a really nice pairing for our 10th

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:19.680
gen core i7 oh yes this is a spectacular it's a good

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.720
it's a good pairing fruity aroma

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.360
the way overclocking works is for every

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:31.919
percent extra performance you get you get a 2 modifier to your overall time

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.120
so there is definitely a benefit to overclocking

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

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:45.360
spend hours and hours fine-tuning it

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

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.040
operating system's installing

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:56.040
computer is it a computer it is what kind of monitors are we rocking

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:02.400
here cv27q 165 hertz refresh rate one

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:08.000
millisecond pixel response times freesync 2 HDR display HDR but to what

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:12.720
degree i'm gonna assume 400 if it doesn't say otherwise that's usually the

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:15.840
safest bet in the meantime moment of truth are you ready baby

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:20.240
oh oh it's

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:27.680
it's awful well there's your problem

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:27.680
what is that

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:34.080
uh not actually endorsing this method

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:36.639
is yours rubbing too a little bit

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.240
fortunately i have engineered a quick fix let's call back off the screws a little

00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:49.039
bit okay now's the time to see that bio screen

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:52.960
and i am in le BIOS

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:55.840
you know what thanks for sponsoring this ars i'm gonna

00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:02.479
leave your i'm gonna leave your marketing bullet points right there okay

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.080
advanced mode we're going uh CPU upgrade

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.400
um advan what did that even do

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:14.000
gaming profile advance profile what does that even okay well we can turn xmp on

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:15.360
hey ddr4 3600 that's fast

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:19.199
hey Anthony what's Gigabyte's version of multi-core

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:25.199
enhancement called i don't know i haven't used many Gigabyte boards you

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.360
dick oh no it's called enhanced multi-core performance

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:32.840
fantastic enabled why is there a european plug-in here

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:38.160
they thought maybe you had to go to the bathroom huh get it huh cause european

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:50.080
wait a minute hey uh Colton do these drives have Windows on them

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:57.919
Jake hit me with the Windows 10 install usb

00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:59.680
i came prepared wait is this usb2

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

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

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:12.080
SSD show me that NVMe install speed

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.840
what is with my screwdriver today oh god

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:24.319
i forgot about that where are you at Anthony

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.639
uh installing the operating system

00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:32.880
i am pretty far out ahead right now actually i am going to get aorus engine

00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:36.639
and do some graphics card overclocking

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

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.440
capture our gaming while we game this is my secret weapon

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:48.560
gaming optimized BIOS there it is

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

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

00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.280
everything i'm just grabbing some updates

00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:05.520
doing some other stuff i mean i might as well grab that bias update i guess

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:09.599
he's copying my strat i need to figure out what's going on

00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:14.879
with this weird stability stuff my problem is i think what i need to do is

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:18.000
remove my GPU overclocking utility in order to get it behaving normally but

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

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:26.639
little unorthodox i don't think that the CPU overclock is going to make too big

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

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.519
not a limitation for the GPU i'm gonna

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

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.519
bet he turned off hyper threading and stuff too

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:46.959
you're going to turn off hyper threading well for gaming sure why not

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:50.880
you know what that might be a decent idea maybe see now that i'm sharing

00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:55.680
ideas why don't we all just you know collaborate and share ideas what's your

00:08:52.800 --> 00:09:00.320
secret weapon again uh it's Linux wait what

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.320
oh that's a pretty clever idea

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.839
so it's a bit of a gamble we'll see if it pays off

00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:09.680
i just found out Anthony is planning to compete with Linux which i probably

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

00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:18.959
on Linux update i was really really impressed by how seamless the experience

00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:22.240
has gotten and then there were also times when i was disappointed because

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

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

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:37.600
seen the same thing on Windows machines but there's just always a bit of a

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.519
die roll involved in this sort of thing for GPU overclocking what i'm using is

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

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:49.440
custom fan profiles set my overclock all of that is currently applied so

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:53.519
i just have the fan running at full tilt power limit at 200 watts and

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:57.839
the GPU offset and memory offset are both set

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

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

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:09.920
33 seconds i get the feeling this is going to come down whoever's better at

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.680
doom i'm gonna tell you guys something i'm pretty sure i'm significantly better

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:17.040
at FPS games than him so wait you're saying you're significantly better at

00:10:14.959 --> 00:10:21.040
FPS games than i am pretty sure i am okay pretty sure we've played together

00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:25.279
before we played halo yeah and

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.160
you were sniping on top of a hill and

00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:30.560
were there bullets in your head or not i don't know

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

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

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:42.640
completes a run i'm pretty sure my overclock is dialed in pretty well uh i

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

00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:51.519
is about what i'd expect i've got a good feeling about this

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:57.440
famous last words all i know is i'm looking at about

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.519
70 FPS around the fountain here 69 there

00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:04.079
hopefully that's nice i don't know if it is though all right

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:06.560
average FPS 66. not great

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

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.079
is okay

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:21.040
okay so i'm gonna have to be a lot more

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:26.160
careful than i'm accustomed to being holy i feel like uh my mouse is not

00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:29.680
quite doing right come on glory kills i don't have the chainsaw equipped no time

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:34.160
for this gotta win how's Anthony doing

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:38.800
how am i doing pretty sure i'm further along but i may

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:43.519
die here never mind

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:46.560
whew i may still die yeah i died

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:51.279
shoot shoot low health low health and i'm dead

00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:51.279
crap

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:59.200
oh okay restart the recording steam

00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:03.279
do me turn on me i think i'm still at a head of Linus

00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:06.639
is he really what can i say i'm better at shooters than you thought

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:10.639
i was how good is shooters i probably shouldn't be talking smack right about

00:12:08.079 --> 00:12:15.120
now can't get in there okay this is a problem

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.120
it's gone again

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.760
83. okay

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.959
i'll take that am i done campaign fortress of doom

00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:31.200
did i finish is this the end or do i have to fight something

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:37.200
so what was Anthony's tomb raider FPS 83 what was mine

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:41.920
okay hey did i win you know what gg though yeah you definitely won gg you

00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:45.839
were you were way better at gaming than i expected i was like five minutes ahead

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

00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:54.639
change a bunch of BIOS settings and it wasn't actually any of that five minutes

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:58.000
ahead would have been enough for the win yeah oh

00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:02.880
it was i'm so disappointed and it was my own

00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:06.320
fault because i chose Linux but like also you you went back into the BIOS and

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

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:16.320
like forget it i just need to get in this game actually

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

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:27.200
what Colton got but then i went back disabled hyper threading and then

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:31.600
reapplied everything and i got 83. yeah like just trying to diagnose all of this

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:35.600
is just not possible in the time we had well either way

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:40.800
that was a lot of fun congratulations it takes oh thanks uh we showed that there

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:47.839
is no excuse for not building your own gaming rig because between the two of us

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:49.760
it only took about two hours to build

00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:54.079
and beat the first level of doom eternal one nightmare or whatever difficulty we

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:57.600
were playing ultra violence ultraviolets and now i'm the proud owner of this

00:13:55.839 --> 00:14:00.880
trophy that i already owned before we started because it belongs to Linus

00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:03.839
media group incorporated you also have a sticky note though

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:10.320

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:14.240

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:20.000
