we're back with another Intel extreme tech upgrade and this time we are going
to be laser focused Intel has provided
our cameraman david with 5 000 us
dollars and he has decided to laser focus his budget on ultimate media
enjoyment extreme gaming streaming and
data hoarding how on earth did you do all of that within this budget it's not
even close to the budget this is a 2500 us dollar webcam
david can i just say that you are a man after my own heart you've got the sick
water-cooled gaming rig and what appears
to be a leftover piece of two leftover
pieces of hobby board that make up your desk
because if it doesn't contribute to performance why would i spend any money
on it thank you you finished you finished my sentence also can i just say
for a moment that i love your flaccid handles here oh yeah
if i ever feel emasculated i just come over here i feel better about myself i
gotta say david this is one hell of an LMG mix special right here i recognize
pretty much all of these parts you got that old weird zotac 1080 ti
like mini thing and then that inwin commander dwell underwater i got that
from ncix that's right we did we brought in a bunch of them for like 60 bucks
that's why i got it it was so cheap probably paid next to nothing for it
that's why i recognize it yeah that's the glitter case from ltx
whenever oh so it is so it is not much
glitter left though there's no way you're changing this keyboard though
right it's a great keyboard i want to go wireless i couldn't fit the 915 tkl on
my budget but my birthday's coming up so uh i might buy it for myself g403 great
bang for the buck but you're going g-pro right g-pro x super light baby super
yeah yeah let's go have a look at his haul i mean
i guess this kind of makes the point of how much space this has been taking up
in your house for weeks now it's taken us a little
while to get david's rig on the schedule so he's just had to have this sitting
staring at him including an rtx 3080. so
why don't we go through the highlights the rtx 3080 is one of the things in
your Intel 5k budget right absolutely along with the pro x mouse power play
mouse pad a defined 7xl computer case that you're going to be turning into a
rocking nas how much storage you're going gonna have and why do you need it it's gonna be about 20 terabytes uh and
i need it because i want to do more streaming and make more videos but the last time i did it i ran out of SSD
space so quickly and i just started moving stuff around on ssds it was a
pain and i just got too tired and never finished the video okay fair enough so
we're going with iron wolf nas drives for that why do we need this much water
cooling here i already have a water cooled system but this system will also be water cooled
good lord you're water cooling your nas or more accurately i'm water cooling
your nose all the problems are handed off naturally for the nas we're going Intel
with a core i3 10 100k this is four cores eight threads which like damn i3s
have gotten good ah seriously obviously plenty for a naz and then it's
easy to miss because it's covered in other stuff but how the hell did you get
a 48 inch lg c10 OLED into the budget
magic money baby so if you guys haven't figured it out yet david contributed
some of his own funds to this complete
tech makeover meaning that this is going to take us a while yeah you can build a
computer in 17 minutes can't you this is water cooling though
and we have to do maintenance on his existing water cooled rig to put the new
cart in and i haven't even shown you guys the custom table top that david and
nicholas finished up last night yeah that's gonna be replacing this is a
necessary upgrade dude this looks so nice right it's gonna be
awesome what i'm thinking is we take down the setup there we can
put the wood on this table you can start building computers there yes i'll build
the legs get the table ready and then we can transfer all the building into there
get it all done while we're at it you want me to paint any walls uh yeah
that one up there sounds pretty good oh man like this mouse pad
there has got to be like three pounds of dead skin in the surface oh at least and
that's been through a washing machine oh really
yeah i have dirty hands this is gonna look absolutely
sick oh i know i'm so excited
oh did you just use book yeah to make it balanced so it's a bunch of harry potter
books but then my high school yearbooks i'm gonna put those away before Linus finds them
what's that wait a minute is that what was propping up your desk yep just harry potter books
wait what other books were there oh my god
oh no yeah yeah that is like a bull mullet
yeah it's bad wait where the heck is the tv going on the wall have a wall mount
like in there yeah that's your gaming display yeah
yeah i'd say i have the sickest setup of anyone ever it's gonna be so bonkers all
right all right well let's let's do it then so we've got an rtx 3080 basically
freaking top of the line for david's rig here this one's pretty unique it can
actually do up to three HDMI outputs and up to three displayport 1.4s and of
course because it's water blocked we are going to be maximum turbo all the time
but we've got a bit of a problem david um so i thought this was going to be
relatively simple pop out the old card pop the new one in but um who built this
water cooling setup for you me and ivan together and jono and ed we were all
there okay well you guys done uh hooked up your CPU block backwards
oops and also this is zip tied why is this
zip tied zip ties faster it's better is this mismatched tubing david uh-huh i
have more tubing though so we can use that if you want and lots more fittings
oh god oh boy i have two pets and lots of
carpets so that's probably like five days worth of dust i cannot see through
it this is gonna be tough i've got five hours to fix this water cooling and
build a completely separate water cooled system to get an idea of what standard
of quality the client expects all you really have to do is take a look at
their own workmanship that's around you
so i'm thinking the the bar is going to be pretty low here so i bought
these prime cable the l-shaped desk legs i want to be able to adjust there's like
a sweet spot of like up high leaning forward where i have optimal speed
reflexes
you want me to put that new radiator in hey yeah if you can that'd be awesome
you don't happen to have any like hardware for that rad do you yeah i had
a bag of screws it's a bit of a mix i got the radiators from the office but
they didn't come with hardware so i was like i better get some screws for this video and did you just grab a handful of
random sure did i could have helped you find the correct
that would be a good video if it wasn't a challenge
most of these aren't even threaded right for this it's a good thing any screw is a self
tapper if you press hard enough heck yeah i am uh not the most handy person
so this is going to be a challenge and a half but i'm going to do my best
full credit to alphacool for the quality of their materials but i'm having a real
hard time here my screws are stripping
as i try to kind of self-tap them into these smaller holes and they're getting
stuck this thing is solid boys oh yeah
watch your step ouch oh okay yeah i hit the wall i'm
fine my butt's very padded what an improvement
it's a little bit nicer all right now i just got to figure out how to get that
radiator in there i'm considering drilling the radiator
this shouldn't be that hard i'm going to need a longer bit i don't understand it
using something not meant to go on a drill but uh it's the only one that's gonna work just go in your home
nice this is gonna work this is not going
well now my torx bit is stuck in the screw i'm trying to use to tap it making
progress oh god oh oh
uh it's all good okay
hey that's not bad thanks nick you're my favorite nick calan at the office nice
four screws that's all he's getting i got the autonomous mayo chair which is
the cheapest ergo chair they make this is really comfortable i can feel the lumbar support i'll be definitely a
little bit more back i'll feel like the world of warcraft south park meme
whoever put this fitting in here was trying to be some kind of hero in typical david fashion it seems that i
have lost the screws that mount the monitor
to this so i'm gonna have to try uh a bunch of different screws see if i have
any that'll fit god that's why it's so tight whoever put this on used like
pliers to tighten it on you can see the teeth marks i got so lucky the first
screw that i grabbed from a random thing seems to work how nice for you david
i forgot i have to build a shelf david i hate your rig it's killing me
what do you think of my fancy shelf that i'm building it's wonderful and i'm glad
it's going much better than what i'm doing everyone knows you shouldn't put
your electronics on carpet and i have two pets wait a minute i didn't actually
look closely at this this is your shelf for underneath
it's gonna be on the ground so i can fit my feet underneath it wire manage
underneath it and then have all my computers and consoles on top you had
said earlier that you don't consider yourself very handy
this is why it's so simple you know what no you know what i love it your pumps in
the new cards not a mini card david is
it not gonna fit it fits look just shove it
shove it harder it's cool i thought i chose a piece of lumber that was pretty
straight but i had it flipped the other way and there was like an inch gap on
this one so this goes to show you can take david out of the janky setup but
you can't take the janky setup out of david you having fun over there i'm
having a great time am i doing a good job
he starts with like the nicest looking pile of awesome stuff and then makes a
shelf out of two by ten this is a camera that i i had when i was a freelancer and
it's a great camera it's the blackmagic ursa 4.6 kit it's got a great sensor a
great dynamic range but it's really not well suited to be a webcam two thousand
dollar webcam my brain hurts all the way from the other room just listening to
them these are spherical but they're seven years old they're built in east
berlin during the cold war they're like zeiss flectagons yeah
cinematic webcam man you want to know why this isn't well suited to be a
webcam multiple reasons one not a good low light sensor two no autofocus number
three i have to open this and then reach in here and turn it on reason four this
monitor doesn't flip around so i have to have an external monitor on top reason
five it's heavy as it's stupid and so much work to use this
but i'm probably the only person in the entire world using an ursa to stream so
that's pretty cool i ran out of tubing if david wants this to be
the ghettoest sick rig ever then i'm
gonna embrace it there you go david is this what you want i love it there you
go i'm glad this is coming together but it makes me really unhappy i've
installed the shelf underneath in order to get it over the radiator i flipped
the support sideways and now it's really tall and i'm worried that the computers
won't fit underneath the table unless i raise the table up to an uncomfortable
level i feel like a little baby like
keep rolling that's the danger it's got to be balanced i don't have it's pretty
jank for better if or worse it's done but before we take the rig back into the computer room i want to at least
hey david yeah you got a vacuum yep i
wouldn't know it before i use your vacuum to clean your
computer i might need to clean your vacuum
uh okay it like does not come off maybe if i can
grab some of the fibers i can actually pull
a lot of the dust out it's all about improvement at this point hey david yeah
i think i've got enough hair to make another dog so that's where you want it
in the corner there yeah that's the idea i think for today uh-huh i might put
another plank of wood on the ground and i just have both computers on the ground
right now the table's really high to be able to fit it and i don't really want
the table that high i think this is the part where the video is supposed to include some justification for why you
chose this particular tv i mean it's pretty self-explanatory it's the best
computer monitor gaming tv money can buy right now
there you go 120 hertz hmi 2.1 it's OLED
okay let's make sure we get the peel on the back of this one uh i accidentally
left andy's on and it turns out that it's actually needed for cooling
david you're an absolute mad lad man why is that why do you need water cooling in
your nas i want top performance for those hard drives we're water cooling
the hard drives too right uh we're starting with
six you know that the radiators are gonna reduce your like hard drive
capacity though right you know you don't need two triple radiators though right oh man i wanna
push that 10 100 so hard i know it doesn't overclock but i'ma push it okay
are you messing with me not even a little bit hey david what are you using
the one terabyte m.2 for uh it's one in the other one oh the reason for that is
while the 665p is a really awesome drive it's kind of too awesome for the nas so
what we want to do is just put a SATA drive in as a cache and then ah yes this
one and then we'll throw this in the main gaming rig so
oops anyway we're running an asrock b460 steel
legend motherboard we didn't need anything super crazy because we're not going to
be overclocking or anything like that and this puppy's got a solid mix of
decent vrm good expansion and uh well we
don't actually need a ton of io but 2.5 though does it have 2.5 gigabytes oh
that's why we picked it as for our i310 100 this is on the surface pretty
overkill for a nas if all david wants is 2.5 gigabit transfers from his desktop
over to his mass storage array in here but
if he wanted it to pull double duty as say for example a plex media server or
in his case as a capture pc then it's
looking like a pretty good choice question for you were you intending to
throw that 1080 ti in here to use nving yes i
see that's why it needs to be water cooled you were just messing with me
before we're gonna have a bit of challenge with the amount of
PCIe lanes that we have and kind of the slots
so we're gonna do capture card graphics card and then for the hba we're gonna
have to do NVMe to PCIe 4x
to a riser card actually wait no i don't know that's going to go in there lioness
is going to figure out it's going to be great here's a little trick i know it
can do that but won't it lessen the performance you're plugging
in hard drives it's fine okay now my CPU water block i'm apparently salvaging
that from your old system yeah 7 700k i asked
david i'm like hey you were there for andy's shoot is yours going to be like
relatively quick he's like oh yeah
i might need Linus's help because where we thought the stud was the drill is not
i'm going backwards i'm a freaking [ __ ]
extreme tech upgrade
i like extreme tech overly ambitious employees this table is big it's in my
way i'll see michaela can i get a hand for a second you can take your mask off
because we live together we do
holy we stripped it we're not even a tech show anymore we're practically like
a couple's home renault show now oh no we stripped it you went single
channel memory it was the cheapest one in the world it was the cheapest one and
you had a budget i guess well the good news is that you can always add another
stick of this and then you can up it to 32 gigs later i didn't even realize it
was a single channel but here we are you know what david it's the least janky
thing about this setup what is this optical drive for uh you never know when
you're gonna have to burn a ps3 game you know that this case does not have a five
and a quarter inch bay right it doesn't oh yeah then that's fine i'll use it for a different build
oh my god it's so thought out
and yet insane you know it's carefully
all kind of wrong
okay before i tighten it you want to check the levelness
you know that uh taco truck is open in front of the good news is that now that
i have mounting hardware i'm making some serious progress over here we've got the
rear fan in we've got the motherboard mounted ready to put our GPU in i have
to actually put the GPU away i put it in the box for the new one thinking oh well
he's going to sell this on ebay uh but no that is in fact not the plan it's
going to be handling envincing coding for his capture vm i guess yeah i'm
supposed to be out of here in like an hour and a half oh i'm sorry don't worry
i got this is there no way we can have anyone else
on a windshield where's my 120 millimeter fans you don't need to plug
an RGB i'm gonna turn it off anyway neat you're getting one radiator david the
tv's on i'm pretty excited about this mobility when i sit over there i can
tilt the monitor this way or at my desk i can have it more this way and there's
actually enough thickness of the desk that i think i'll be able to like play
mouse and keyboard games at the desk which i wasn't expecting yeah it's we're
so lucky thank you michaela if you're watching this video i love you meanwhile
in Linus land the nuts for the mounting brackets for the reservoir are missing
fortunately there were a couple of random nuts in the random baggie of
hardware that david got so we've got that taken care of but another bad news
this mountain clip immediately broke so we're down to one
i make no apologies for the jankiness of this solution give me jay you're bearing
witness to this andy it looks fine wait do you not recognize the problem nope
it's killing me too andy but i'm in a hurry and clearly the client doesn't
care so we're adjusting our standards depending on the device i have yeah it's my 2.1 is
to go to the ps5 into the pc 2.0 to go
to my headphones which are going to run off arc 2.0 to go to the capture pc so
that's gonna be the pass through and i'm hoping that all my retro consoles can go
through the capture station with zero input lag and all go through one input
into the tv and it should be easy hey david yes this hard drive cage here is
it even part of this case nope we've got another problem the plastic sleds that
are intended to go into these hard drive cages are apparently not here we've got these
ones that mount in the front so we can put two hard drives in today oh i need
screws to just line up for me today Linus if i'm
being honest the thing i'm most excited about today is this playstation 3 what i
got this is the ps3 i bought at launch and it's the one that has the ps2 chip
on it right so you can actually play ps1 ps2 games without emulation and output
at 480p this was dead for 10 years and it seems to be revived but i haven't i
haven't plugged it in and fully tested it so there's a little bit up in the air
but we're gonna find out today oh nice i'm so excited meanwhile i'm trying to
figure out how the hell i'm gonna finish this water-cooled computer oh wow you
went all out on the capture card oh yeah dang live gamer 4k get that HDR also
record and stream at the same time in like two separate applications so that's
a big reason why i want that one how do i want to tackle the water oh my god i
haven't put the pump in yet i picked the sony wh l600s because they're wireless
which is what i want i want to be able to move around this room but they connect through HDMI they've got zero
latency there's it's not bluetooth it's radio
mikaela oh yeah daisy came over here because she
was excited to see you one thing that was exciting to me is that it comes with
a space station like i said it can do optical but it also does arc which is
what i really want and aux so i can actually connect it to a pc separately
from the tv why i really want arc is that everything is going to the tv in
HDMI and then one connection back to this means literally every device in
this room can connect to these wireless headphones no problem well this is sick
it's not super stable so be careful oh oh god this is a great moment in
history or a historical failure
wait what oh is this thing give me trouble oh i think something's wrong it did better
before dang it's not gonna work for this but i'm gonna try again when you go hey
the good news is i think with your rtx 3080 you can probably emulate ps1 games
i'm frustrated right now this run is too
tight here i mean what i could do is i could just go full jank and do a big
loop over here and just bring it back around
you may recall that i claimed to be out of tubing before when i clearly have an
entire additional spool the reason for that was that i didn't want to dip into
my tubing supply for this system because i know the defined 7xl is an extremely
large case and i thought i might actually need all of it as it turns out
we probably would have been fine but that's okay
we got there with the room i had in my budget i figured this was one of the
best mics i could get for my use the rode pod mic it's a dynamic mic it's
good at noise cancellation this can be a fairly noisy room especially now that
there's all these consoles and pcs underneath and it's a good starter
microphone we'll see if i like streaming if you guys enjoy it and then maybe move
up from there david yeah please tell me you have the
uh extra modular cables for this power supply i need a molex connector i'll
bring over what i have uh they're not interchangeable what power supply is
this that's for the the yeah and one oh wait no definitely not
yeah these use a completely different connector okay we deep in this molex
connector and we jam the pins in this pci express
power connector we don't do it okay so that's in there is this gonna work uh
well i mean wait wait wait wait wait hold on uh oh i have them backwards so other
than that yes i have a smoke detector it's cool but you have insurance too
that's how i'm going to buy a house burn this place down
use a settlement money heck yeah this conversation is making me extremely
uncomfortable am i an accessory you have to promise me
you'll replace this after though i promise yeah i'll get some electrical
tape oh no no that's not what i meant oh the cable
yes yeah yeah i'll do that too what do you think andy 99
99 yeah i don't think so
uh
oh right don't worry i got this yeah you do i'm a hero boot usb for unraid goes
here if you guys watch the short circuits that i do which is generally nice this
is the best mouse money can buy right now for gaming i poo poo'd power play
but i'm willing to give it a shot this is my opportunity it's opportunity to
make sure there's no vomit on it sweater oh i'm already sad you can't plug in the
dongle to this it's really heavy where is this supposed to go somewhere under
here i'm gonna have to figure out the details i think i'm gonna have to put just a flat plank on the ground okay it
has a filtered underneath so i don't have it down there i gotta grab it okay
it'll be fine for today for this computer it's this and the 403. let's
give it a quick reboot and see if it just fires right up into unraid how cool
would that be that would be sick we're doing it everybody oh okay it doesn't oh
yeah readability you gotta have that camo back there
unread's booting amazing okay so where does this go and where does that go oh
they're both gonna go in there okay here we go good luck everybody tower login
what is that um this doesn't have a network
connection right now oh right long story trend net is sending over
their two and a half gig switch but it's not here yet two and a half gigabit is
critical for david's setup not because he has super fast internet but because
he needs a really really fast link between his naz and his gaming machine
so that he can edit video off of it gigabit's okay but 100 megabytes a
second is not not that great these days for
responsiveness megabytes a second
now we're talking ethan that's plugged in now Ethernet is plugged in now people
are going to relate to this setup so much because this is like true gamer yeah
this isn't like poser like RGB all over the place gamer actually while you're
doing that i'll bring you the stuff that's uh quote unquote borrowed yeah so
these are from the donation piles couldn't possibly care less about them
and what about that r2d2 uh you know what your gain is my loss that's my
legal defense we were supposed to build a computer in it and we just like never
got around to it it was like an impulse buy when i was at the mall i was like oh
we should build a computer in that fair enough this room's going crazy we're
running out of room but i'm gonna pull out this bin this is the bin that i
unboxed on the ShortCircuit it's filled with retro games i want to get my ps3
working again so i can play all those but i have my analog super nintendo
switch we have pilot wings i do not i used to have more i had friends steal a
bunch and never return them dicks no kelly you better freaking
return my freaking super metroid i'll kill you gotta give it a little philly
fill here there's at least enough water in it this time that we should be able
to leave it on long enough to see if we get a signal oh yeah there we go all right i'm
closing the gaming rig two water cooled systems david
and does this rig just go right in next year i'm sure today has been spoiled
david day i am so lucky to get all the stuff i've gotten i know people all
around the world are trying to get 30 80s i got one but the one thing i cannot
get is an LTT mouse pad stop it i can't i
know there's more coming there's more coming i'll see if i can snag one we'll
get you one when uh later when all the paying customers are
done so this is probably the least jank thing of my entire setup i took old wood
from my desk so you used to have not just two pieces of pine project fine i
had four pieces so i took one of those pieces i glued uh dust pad to it puts my
keyboard's wrist rest under there and it fits
perfect on this armrest it's a good enough thing and i'll be able to play mouse and keyboard games on this tv with
no issues at all oh my god
that's the virtual machine this is a good sign that's Windows i'm
going to shut it down gracefully here i'm going to add the usb receiver for
this as well as the audio capture
uh and we're going to try and pass those through as well sick oh
you need your HDMI capture card passed through as well oh okay theoretically
this is gonna work oh yeah
oh is it working let's not get ahead of
ourselves the avermedia capture card is
in the same iommu group as your Ethernet
controller what really bad news all the pci express slots are bound to essential
devices so we can't pass through the avermedia card on its own
but remember that crazy stupid idea that you had to use one of these what i'm
hoping is that this top m.2 slot is connected directly to the CPU i believe
it is in which case i think the likelihood is much higher than it'll be
in its own imu group so now we've got this riser cable
oh my gosh and now our capture card
we found my limit and now this is this is it the things we do for gaming
honestly all things considered we're in pretty good shape all you got to do is
swap out that capture card for a usb one will do but this vm is working
absolutely perfectly amazing it's running at 240hz right now yep you're
ready for your first stream
up hellcats how's it going man ready to watch me play some parappa
don't get people in the young 20s it's okay they don't get you either
oh sorry
this is so good i'm going to play this next time i'm having sex
all right oh what another squad another squad
well that wasn't easy and we're honestly not quite done yet david's gonna swap
out his capture card to get this going 100 but all things considered we got a
freaking ton done today this looks
absolutely freaking awesome so much better compared
to the old setup and uh knowing david
there's gonna be a lot of gaming hours spent on this setup so again you guys
can find him at the chosen david on twitter and he'll get all the information for you guys on where he's
gonna be twitch streaming all of a sudden everyone's getting into twitch
streaming you know i know it's awesome it's crazy it's crazy but not everyone
has a blackmagic ursa 4.6 k is their webcam do they that's right set apart
and you know who else is set apart Intel thank you so much to Intel for
sponsoring not just this video but this whole series where we are doing five
thousand dollar makeovers we've already done Anthony we've done riley we've done
andy we've done uh the fourth one we did Colton so you guys
can go check out the entire series yeah dennis's as well oh yeah i think
dennis's might have been actually this one was crazy too i don't know man they're all good they're all great go
check them out and go check out Intel's products link down below they got
everything they got cpus they've got networking products you name it if it's
advanced microprocessing technology Intel makes it
