WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.759 i'm not really the kind of person who piles on when somebody's already having 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.000 a bad time but here's the situation twitch streamer xqc reached out to me a 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.559 number of weeks back asking for help with a new gaming pc i pointed out that 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.760 i'm sure anyone and their dog would be happy to send him a free gaming pc in 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.920 exchange for a tweet given his popularity but i did offer my help if he 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.480 really needed it and then i promptly never heard anything about it ever again 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.360 until i was streaming today and you guys wouldn't stop talking about how 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:38.719 apparently horrible his build was so given that i did offer to help i will 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:43.280 with no guilt whatsoever be critiquing xqc's pc build 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.239 i've never done a reaction video before so 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:50.079 wish me luck just like i feel lucky to tell you about 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:53.760 our sponsor ridge wallet ridge wallet wants to redefine the wallet with its 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.960 compact frame and rfid blocking plates check out how they can keep your wallet 00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:01.440 bulge down and use offer code Linus to save 10 and get free worldwide shipping 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:14.720 we're willing this bad boy that's to be able to run minecraft at other FPS 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.400 uh is that my face that's my face 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:24.720 why is my face on his stream okay first things first um yeah i want 00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.000 to unbox everything but first things first i'm gonna set myself up on the 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.920 carpet now we did show recently in our collab with electro boom that the risk 00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:36.000 of actually damaging your components with electrostatic discharge is pretty 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:41.119 low but i probably still wouldn't go out of my way to sit on a low pile carpet 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:45.920 and unbox computer hardware so motherboard goes first i got a rog cross 00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:51.040 air v i i formula dude planet hi this is a 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.680 very overpaid computer okay some of these parts were really way more 00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:58.640 expensive than it should have been but it's covered and whatnot so it is what it is man is he actually going to water 00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:02.719 cool because that motherboard has like integrated chipset water cooling first 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.600 we'll open the actual CPU itself this is usually like 900 bucks but this 00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:10.319 was like a 1.7 k because of uh scalpers 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:10.319 feels a weird man 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.520 he paid 700 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.120 oh but there's nobody there's no alternatives 00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:25.120 this is the piece that is worth all the money right here little metal bracket up oh my god this 00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:28.800 must be how people feel watching me handle stuff like seemingly not 00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:31.920 carefully i assure you guys i know what i'm doing but i'm not 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.480 actually convinced that felix knows what he's doing 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:40.560 oh that got it you gotta you gotta pull out from the thing 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.599 okay okay put the ARM the other way also what's important here the most 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:46.959 important part of all this is the bragging rights 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.599 whenever you build a pc you gotta keep all those stickers whenever you buy 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:53.120 these boxes okay he's joking about this but i 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:58.160 actually have like a whole sticker book with like a shiny kitty on the front 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:04.560 of like old case badges from like way back like 10 15 years ago 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:05.760 128 gigs of RAM juicers so these sticks 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.280 are sorry this the word juicers he's now 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.200 used the word juicers twice he's got 128 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:17.519 gigs of RAM and a gaming pc and he's calling them juicers i'm really not sure 00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:20.560 i'm following so far i want to try one pc setup with a really good computer and 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.200 if it's not it doesn't work as well as i thought it would i'm going to kind of like break it in 00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:28.800 two and make two pcs with the with my old pc and the new new parts 00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:32.000 and split in half and we're gonna get two pieces set up okay i kind of 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:37.040 understand what he's talking about here so if this single computer gaming and 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:42.799 streaming setup doesn't work then he can take 64 gigs of this 128 gigs of RAM just a 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:46.239 lot for a gaming and streaming machine and put it into a separate machine okay 00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:50.000 let me do a little explaining boys i know sometimes you guys already know this okay and you're like like a tech 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.720 genius so this is um i don't know why this movie doesn't have 00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.080 it but normally you're gonna have two colors these are your channels sometimes 00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:04.480 something called dual channel i think or something like that 00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:08.239 okay that's very close the memory slots are color coded so you will correctly 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.599 install your dual channel memory but they're not color coded according to the 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.920 channels it's actually the other way around they're color coded so that your 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:20.959 monkey brain will put two sticks in the same colors and get dual channel 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.040 operation but it's actually the two 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.320 separate channels that are the same color dual channel 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:32.560 now you know open them at the back one two three four 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:37.520 okay and we're going to wedge the RAM inside the computer 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.400 it's backwards okay this is normal more about it everybody 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.320 makes a mistake i usually put this on 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.960 the side that doesn't have the lever on first 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.160 now on the one hand he says i usually okay 00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:56.479 and that's not even wrong to put it in the side that doesn't have the latch 00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:58.960 first but he usually but then this is actually hard and scanning your 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:05.840 thing and [ __ ] among us what i'm telling you dude okay am i doing this well yeah yeah 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.759 i love the coaching from the background do you have the lever open fortunately 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:15.039 it's so poorly put in that i'm gonna it's gonna break i'm gonna lose it why 00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:19.199 is my face keep showing up is this like a twitch feature 00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:24.520 stick number two twitch chat's already like call Linus 00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:24.520 it's backwards again 00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:31.120 dude okay next is gonna be the m2 drives 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:35.280 okay what would our cool technological advancement boys uh we don't have to 00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:41.199 have these uh see this is like the old ssds it's been nine minutes and he has 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.199 installed the CPU in memory 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.680 they're very popular those are a little bit better they're a little faster 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:52.080 they're little of a hassle to put in and thankfully boys 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:57.120 we got two of them he is in for a real nightmare if he wants to configure NVMe 00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:00.160 raid on well really any platform but i've done AMD's recently and it's not 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:06.319 fun i think there's a company called rocket and they make those in like crazy 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:10.400 storage like okay uh sabrin uh they have the rocket line up to eight terabytes um 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.080 i think that the m2 drives are hidden under here after after the voltage can i 00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:20.000 just say for a moment that i love the quebecois of englishing d-bolt it 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.120 unscrew d-bolt who cares same thing i'm just going to d-bolt it debultable like 00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:27.680 attachments transformer-looking things like that oh 00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:32.080 it's just a strip i've seen worse drops these are like 00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.720 support bolts or whatever standoffs and we're going to go set it up are those 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:40.880 spongebob socks because i definitely approve that really is not all the way 00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:44.080 in good thing twitch chat is babysitting oh he's no it's still not in isn't that 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:48.720 in okay i'm stupid overall i've seen far 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:52.720 worse i've seen far worse now for the second one wait is he gonna 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.720 screw it in uh oh 00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:03.199 it's a dual bolt collider dude the x back the x back plate 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:07.680 what guys i had to screw in the [ __ ] x back plate before the motherboard 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:10.720 oh the back is open okay 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.960 all right the bill i got the kraken seven seven 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.759 threes it's what chat recommended i really don't know that i would buy a 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:22.720 computer based on twitch chat's recommendations pre-applied turbo paste 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.360 people say it's bad i don't necessarily agree i kind of like 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.639 it people say it's bad nobody says pre-applied thermal paste is bad 00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:34.720 self-applied face not because i'm lazy actually it's just because i'm lazy 00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:39.599 and that's a triple radiator wait why is he trying to put it in the top 00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:44.560 dude it actually doesn't fit i can see his twitch chat 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.919 right here telling him to call me no 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.599 shot he goes inside what the [ __ ] he's talking about man up until this point of the video i kind 00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:53.440 of thought he was just playing a character because he would be like oh 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:58.000 yeah it's kind of called this so i don't know and then proceed to completely 00:07:55.840 --> 00:08:01.280 correctly explain what it is pretty much but 00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:04.720 now i'm just really not so sure remove the case 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:09.280 i have to remove now does he not know that you can remove side panels dude it 00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:12.879 can't mount it's too big yeah this doesn't fit it just it just it just 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.800 doesn't he's got to be he's got to be just pretending like i think you guys 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:21.039 are just suckers i'm pretty sure felix knows how to build a computer just fine 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:26.160 guys if removing the case fans is a [ __ ] hassle so he 100 00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:31.360 knew that he can put the radiator in the front he just didn't want to remove 12 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.800 screws to i'm gonna read but the message 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.599 i sent him it's possible we could get you hooked up 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:40.800 with the system and we'd love to collab but surely you'd have at least half a 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.839 dozen system integrators on speed dial who could get you anything you want 00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.160 if you're not in a hurry it'd be a fun project but we're still undergoing renovations and not in a position to 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.560 tackle anything big like the creeper pc we built for pewds at the moment if 00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:56.640 you're in a hurry it may be faster to just get hooked up with a pc builder 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:00.320 just let me know email's best for me since this is a shared inbox with many 00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:04.399 other staff here if you wasn't willing to remove 12 00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:08.000 screws why build a computer already 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:11.440 pre-installed and pre-wired and already pre-settled it's going to be terrible to 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:18.080 remove them no it's going to be 12 screws to remove them i i can't do anything what 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.399 oh he doesn't know how to remove the front you just got to you got to pop it 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.000 just de-bold the whole thing yes i think we need to de-bolt the whole thing oh 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.000 wow that's gonna be a lot of fun guys they're welded to the mesh dude oh my 00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:36.880 god no there oh i bought this thing over here 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:41.040 so i bolt this in at the top the speed with which he switches between 00:09:38.959 --> 00:09:44.480 eureka moments and having no idea what's going on again 00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:50.000 okay well this is remarkably really tough little chat this is literally 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:55.120 soldered together no and re-screw our thing manually at the 00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:56.880 top so we can put the the CPU fan intake 00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:00.320 from the side and then we then make it pull and the top is going to push or 00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:05.200 some i don't know again he's demonstrating fairly deep knowledge he 00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:08.800 knows that we're gonna have pole fans at the front and we're gonna have push fans 00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:12.560 at the back for balanced airflow but then he thinks his case is welded 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:15.680 together i don't wait a minute it doesn't fit 00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:19.600 of course ah all you had to do was you just had to 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:24.480 leave the fans exactly where they were and just put the screws that came with 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:26.720 your radiator through them we need to go 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.640 way back to basics and do a for beginners build like really for 00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:35.120 beginners we need to bring in a committee of qualified beginners 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:38.560 to ask their questions as we go and make sure that we answer every single one of 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.040 them dude there's not enough space for three 00:10:40.640 --> 00:10:46.480 of them why is he trying to put three fans there 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.519 is he faking it wait no it doesn't go like this does it turn 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:56.240 it around now it's an intake well the [ __ ] it's going through the 00:10:53.680 --> 00:11:02.560 plastic i spun this thing the both ways and you 00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:08.480 guys said bo wrong side of both times what the on about dude 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:10.720 the radiator should fit in here 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:16.399 yes it does all right we got the radiator in 00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:18.800 okay why would you have the tubes down 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:24.640 are they gonna work against gravity dude fun fact in a closed loop 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.480 gravity kind of is like cancelled out 00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:30.959 you could think of it that way because gravity might pull some of the water 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:34.560 down but then that equal force will push the other water like up like it's 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:38.480 doesn't really matter somebody said tubes down won't fit with 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:43.040 the GPU longer lifespan of the product got it 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:47.440 i actually don't know if that's gonna reach with the tubes on the bottom i 00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:50.560 know it's like more optimal for the pump to last longer but it actually 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:57.120 just might not reach oh and then you install the thing on the 00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:00.800 bracket and then you bracket it in there we go 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.519 ah no it's not the same size dude 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.680 no no it's fine you got the other holes it's okay 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.279 it doesn't fit dude it does it's fine 00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:14.000 well we're going to be using those then that we have to use those then people 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:19.920 are going to tell them to flip it around right oh no no no no 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.519 no no the pace is oh the pace is gone 00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:26.079 oh my god that stuff is impossible to clean this 00:12:24.079 --> 00:12:30.880 one no no it doesn't go on that side now how do we do it what 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:35.839 wait is he gonna put one Corsair fan and then like other nzxt dude the fans are 00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:40.079 on the wrong side man guys the wires on the other side fans 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:43.920 can go on any side of the radiator you want they it doesn't matter if they're 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:49.360 on this side then they blow and if they're on this side then they suck it's 00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:52.560 it's the wire goes inside the computer 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.480 this goes on the outside good this is 00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:58.959 going to hang the whole thing together yeah the fans then need to go inside the 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:03.279 [ __ ] bracket it doesn't matter so like this then that's fine the bracket 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.040 goes at the back and then the bracket goes inside at the 00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:12.399 back logo outside 00:13:09.839 --> 00:13:15.200 pumps inside okay i had it right the whole time dude literally from the start 00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:23.680 i don't know if you had it right the whole time but yes fundamentally what you're saying is sound so the logo the 00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:25.360 sticker uh the the on the hub okay that 00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:30.800 points towards the direction the air goes this is this is fine 00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:31.680 you need to say ndxd on the way upwards 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:37.760 way over the radiator this is like 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.360 so radiator facing outside the case it is completely installed 00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:44.959 just fine i mean the fans the cables are coming 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.880 off in a way that the cable management is gonna suck but like it's it's mostly 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:52.560 fine it only fits this way i think 00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:56.480 no he does have the tubes at the top so yes the fans are sticking right up next 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.959 to the window okay i mean that's not going to affect the functionality of the 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.839 machine rog strix gaming graphics card GeForce 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:08.720 rtx 3090 NVIDIA ASUS or oc o'clock 2 20 00:14:05.839 --> 00:14:11.839 40 GPU juicer there it is 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:15.920 i don't think that's going to fit okay that thing that's an enormous card if it 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:21.120 wasn't coveted i would just fly out there and build it for him 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.519 i can't [ __ ] screw it it's actually not 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:27.600 lined up oh that no that's fine you just gotta you just gotta kinda you know get 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.360 the screw in there and kinda yeah you know dude i'm pushing right now i can 00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:35.040 see how that would be really confusing for people uh i think this case is just 00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:40.160 trash i mean look and even then even 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:43.360 the GPU slot doesn't line up dude unless you're meant to use 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:47.920 the squares part but i don't think so no 00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:51.440 please don't do that no that's not necessary you just don't [ __ ] get 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:55.920 there dude look at the oh look at him 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:58.570 so much anger you're not gonna fit this in there i 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.680 mean yeah no i just thought about this this 00:15:01.760 --> 00:15:06.880 is [ __ ] dumb it's not like he has a completely invalid point the 00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:11.120 manufacturing tolerances of computer cases and the way that pci backplates 00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:14.800 sometimes don't quite have the mounting holes line up can be extremely 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:19.199 frustrating especially for a new builder and i can see how if you've spent you 00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:22.800 know two grand on a graphics card you don't want to be like 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.560 like pushing and pulling on it but the reality of it is a lot of the time when 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:30.800 i'm manhandling stuff and i seem really careless i i'm actually just like kind 00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:33.839 of doing what you need to do you got to have you got to put some force on it 00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:38.399 sometimes you got to understand that the kinds of costs that pc case 00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:42.160 manufacturers are targeting it's just it kind of comes with the territory okay 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:46.560 i'm gonna re-box some of this stuff i can't chat we need a new case 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:50.480 there you go Corsair honest consumer review your case a disaster the good 00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:54.480 news is i don't think any of this stuff is broken okay now i feel worse because 00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:57.440 at the beginning it was pretty clear that he was just pretty much knew what 00:15:56.079 --> 00:16:01.920 he was doing but was kind of like playing a character then by the end it's 00:15:59.839 --> 00:16:04.800 obvious that he was ready to huck the GPU at the wall
