I've done a few of these AMD Ultimate Tech upgrades at this point and I think
I've gotten pretty good at them. >> Is not straight at all.
>> Wait, it's swine. Oh my god, I can see
the hole. >> Oh, we got incest here. Incense. Sorry.
Okay, that was then, but this is now because I've got some backup. Do you
know who's helped me with almost half of these AMD upgrade videos and doesn't put
extra holes in a wall? Oliver. You just don't get to recognize him because he's
usually behind the camera taking our five plus hours of footage and chopping
it down into a video. So, how does a camera operator/editor spend $5,000 of
AMD's money? How about a new NAS, a new monitor, a new soundbar, a new camera
gear, and a new RC car?
Really? >> Yeah, >> I guess if it's not your money. Thanks,
AMD. Attention gamers. Not only is AMD
powering Oliver's setup today, they're also powering one of the most watched
esports event this year, the World of Warcraft Race to World. The AMD Ryzen 7
9800 X3D is being used by 20 Echo Guild
raiders this month as they attempt to reclaim the title. And you get a chance
to win a pro gaming upgrade bundle valued at over $3,000.
But if you don't win that, there's still five Ryzen 7 9800 X3D bundles up for
grabs. Plus, the winners also get some merchandise from LTT Store. How cool is
that? Check it out by using our link in the video description.
>> Oliver, what day is it today? >> Uh July 30th. This past Christmas, I had
to shoot a commercial that involved a Christmas tree. >> So, I bought this 7 1/2 ft tall
Christmas tree. >> I don't think this is 7 and 1/2 ft. As
much as I kind of wish it was,
>> I'm pretty sure it was 7 and 1/2 ft. >> There is no shot that
>> no way. I'm I'm 6'3.
>> Nah, bro. This is a 6ft tree. >> 7 and 1/2t with the star on top.
>> How old is this TV? >> It's probably older than me. >> Does it work? Like, do you still use it?
>> Yeah. Yeah, it still works. You want to try it? I was going to get a new TV.
>> Okay. >> But my dad was afraid of you drilling holes in the wall.
>> Did he watch the video? >> No. No. I just told him that there's the
op there's a chance that you might add extra holes in the wall. So he was like,
"Oh my god, >> if you like the rear projection TV on
that one, I think you like this one,
>> brother. You can fit so much CRT in this bad
boy." And and this thing this thing works.
>> Oh, that coil wine is nasty. >> Is that a VHS on top?
>> Uh, yeah. Yeah, you can you can play. >> Does this work? >> Yeah, 100%. Dude, I got like Jurassic
Park. >> Wa Pokemon.
>> Yo, >> yeah. Yeah, we got the Pokémon right up
there. >> Oh, the Mewtwo one. >> You didn't rewind it. You're a terrible
person. >> Wait, are you supposed to actually rewind it, though? >> Well, it's considerate for the next
person. >> Oh, okay. So, it doesn't like damage the tapes or anything? >> No. No, it's just like
>> what's the problem? >> At some stores when you used to rent VHS's, if you didn't rewind them, they
actually charged you like a 25 or 50 cent fee whenever you went to return it.
>> You owe me a quarter cuz now I'm inconvenience cuz I have to rewind this.
>> Wait, how do you know all this? >> I rented What do you mean? I rented
movies as a kid. >> He's not as young as he looks. Hey,
>> I'm so excited. >> I think I just broke it. >> It is tired.
>> Oh, >> it's broken. >> Oh, yeah. It's not coming. >> All I did was put it in. Oh, no.
>> Elijah, you you've only been here for like 5 minutes.
>> I don't know enough about our own camera gear to know if any of this is stolen
from the office at least. Is this all of your camera gear? Like, what what do you
do? >> Yeah. No, this is this is all my gear. Uh, and I promise you it's not stolen.
That's why I haven't moved out yet. >> Because it's stolen?
>> No. No. Because I can't afford rent >> because you buy camera gear.
>> Exactly. >> Got it. What kind of work do you do? >> I shot a commercial for some like dash
cam stuff. Uh, yeah. It's just client work here and there.
>> Cool. So, you do freelancing and stuff. >> Freelance. But, uh, I also do a lot of
spec work cuz I just want to like flex that creative muscle. So, I've done like
a Bronco commercial. Oh. um a water bottle one. I also did the uh commuter
bag commercial that we did. Yeah, that's right. >> That's right. Yeah, I think it's on the
store. If you go watch it, there's a video link to it or something. Oh, okay.
>> Dang. And I'm guessing this is where you edit everything that you shoot.
>> Yeah. Basically, as soon as I get off my 9 to5, my 6:00 to 9, 6:00 to 9, 6 till 2
a.m. is basically
>> 6:9. That's upstairs. Uh >> okay.
>> Uh 6:L 2 a.m. I'm editing. I'm like filming like, you know, that's all
that's my life. That's right. >> Got it. Okay. Even more camera gear. You
have an FX3? >> I sure do. Check it out. >> Holy cow.
>> Yeah. >> This This probably costs more than all
my Funko Pops. >> The craziest thing about this FX3, I
didn't buy it myself. >> We've been missing an FX3 at the office.
>> That's not true. >> This lens. This lens. >> This lens, too.
>> This lens. >> Editors. Now, uh, cut all of that. I did
not steal it. I still see a MacBook. Do you not have a
PC? >> No. >> So, you do all your editing on a MacBook? >> Yes. This is the M1 Pro, the base model,
unfortunately. But >> So, you got an AMD $5,000 tech upgrade.
And you're not building an AMD gaming PC? >> Well, gaming. I do I do not game. I only
play Clash Rail. I had a PC before. I built it uh back when I was in
university. Okay. It did also have a Ryzen CPU. It was a Ryzen 5 3600.
Windows was just unreliable. Uh, I was
>> So, you went to macOS? >> Yeah. No, like in general. >> Oh my goodness. What is this drive cage?
Do you use this? >> Of course. Yeah. >> Like you edit off of this?
>> I do not edit off of this. I store all
of my like old files and whatnot uh onto
these two. And then I have like these working SSDs, which is what I actually
work off of, >> which is why I'm building a NAS.
>> Building a NAS. This is This is terrible. Yeah, >> we need to we're going to go build him
an ass right now. So, you mentioned you built that last computer that you had.
>> That is correct. >> So, you're an expert. I'm going to let you go. >> That is not true.
>> Nope. >> I built that 7 years ago.
>> That's fine. It's basically the same. >> What do we start with?
>> Because I just edited the Alamade AMD upgrade. I do believe we start with the
motherboard and the CPU. >> Yes.
>> Spoiler alert with the through the magic
of video editing. Uh oh, never mind. and took it out.
>> But you got a Ryzen 5 7500F, which is going to be more than enough for a Naz
and if you wanted to run like a Plex server or something off of this, whatever it is going to be. And then for
our motherboard, we got a ASRock B850M ProA. Cool. Do you know how to like
install this? >> I could probably wing it.
>> So, you press down on this, right? >> Sure. >> And then that should allow you to do
that. >> Sure. >> And then that comes up.
>> Yeah. usually Oliver Tech tips, baby.
>> Oot ot.
All right. And then, are you sure about that,
>> brother? Why didn't you say anything? >> No, I think that was fine. >> Are you sure? That sounded nuts.
>> Yeah. No. Yeah, you're fine. >> That was just the sound of like the the
plastic coming off there. >> Boom. >> Oh, nice. >> CPU installed. >> Let's go.
>> Awesome. >> All right, we can take lunch. Yeah, sure. >> What's next? What kind of RAM did you
get? >> Uh, Crucial DDR5 32 gigs of 6,000 mega
transfers per second. >> There you go. >> I probably said that in the incorrect
order, but that's >> They will understand. >> That's why I'm a video editor.
>> You'll put the Mogart up, which will be correct. >> I'll put it in the incorrect way so
Belle could watch it and be furious. >> All right, let's install our RAM.
>> Oh, isn't this the part where you go like, um, I bet there's going to be a
lot of extras on these side conversations. Make sure to check out FlowPlane exclusives on LMG. Uh, what is
it? LMG.gg. Check out LMG.gg.
>> Editor. Leave that exact conversation in and use that as the plug. I don't care.
That was hysterical. >> LMG.gg Oh,
>> but yes, there will be. >> LMG.gg/flat plane. >> There you go.
>> The whole idea is like when you're saluting, like you don't want to show your dirty hands, right? So, you
actually want to do this.
I think that went in. >> You could just give up. >> I like that.
>> I know there is like a preference. >> Yes. >> I don't know how to figure that out
though. >> Usually you would find the motherboard's manual. Thankfully, logistics had
cheated and these two slots were actually open already. >> Oh, you dirty.
>> That's crazy. >> But there you go. >> Awesome. There we go.
>> Cool. There you go. >> All right. What's next?
>> The M.2 drive. Right. >> There you go. >> Hell yeah. >> What'd you get for your SSD?
uh Patriot uh P300 M.2 PCIe Gen 3 X4
256 gigs cuz apparently that's all you need. >> Yes.
>> Basically just going to have the operating system on it which we're going with Hexos. U investment disclosure,
Lionus is invested in it, but it's still a good piece of software for people who
don't want to tinker with truness lowrofile cooler. Thankfully, these
coolers actually come with a thing called instructions. >> Yeah, but who the hell reads
instructions? Probably someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
>> That's why I have you here. >> I've never installed this cooler. >> Damn. What is What does he do here?
>> My goodness. >> I'm kidding. >> Uh,
it's all in Mandrin. >> Did you just assume I could read Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, I did not.
You opened the Mandrin site. Flip it over.
>> So, because we're installing an AMD CPU >> Mhm. Shout out AMD. $5,000 Ultimate Tech
upgrade. We're going to be installing this type of cooler, an AM5/ AM4. So,
you're going to want to follow those instructions. So, remove the plastic
brackets. >> Cool. >> Let's uh use this bad boy.
>> Cool. >> It's actually really nice. Good job, CW.
Or would it be who who >> It was actually me. I did all the work.
>> No.
Oh. Oh, >> you're shilling too hard.
While we're doing this, we could get Reese to do something. He could set up your new monitor.
>> But I wanted to unbox it. >> Yeah, but at the pace we're going here, we kind of need some help.
>> You're right. >> Reys, can you set up his What? What did you get? Like a four Oh my gosh. A 4K
31.5 in monitor. >> Yeah. Um I don't know much about this
monitor. I originally wanted like this ASUS one. It was like a pro art.
>> Oh, okay. Like the ones we have like at the editors or whatever, right? >> Not quite that one. It's a different
model. I think I shot a ShortCircuit on that one. >> Okay. >> Jake Tabby was like, "Why would you get
that one?" Because it's not even OLED and he was like, "Just get this one."
>> Okay. >> And it has like a good delta score of
whatever that thing is when it comes down accuracy.
>> Beautiful. Well, Reys, set up the Delta
score. >> We love a good Delta score. >> Amen.
>> All right. >> What case did you get? >> Uh, John's
N4, >> which >> Okay. Motherboard. Sure. Uh, I'm
assuming the fan probably
Oh, no. I was going to say maybe it like stuck into there, but I don't think that's the case.
>> No, this is the case.
>> Okay, that looks pretty good. >> Yep. >> Yeah. Now, slide that in. >> Hell yeah.
>> The only thing you'll want to make sure is as you're installing it that these
standoffs here are actually in the right
spots and you're not going to be scratching the back of your motherboard. How would I know that?
>> It'll line up with the holes on your motherboard.
>> Oh, okay. Okay. >> Where do you think it goes? >> M
somewhere here. >> Well, yeah. I guess I gave you a little bit of a hint.
>> You have two slots you could put it. >> Oh, this is a nice touch for this board.
>> On Vance's upgrade. We actually had to kind of cut a notch here for when we
wanted to add a longer card. This board already has it kind of cut out. So,
since we have a longer card, it will fit in no problem. Nice touch. That is a
snug fit. But hey, it fits. You got
three 18 TB drives from Western Digital. Did you buy these like on sale or on a
deal or >> These are not brand new. I got these on
server parts deal. >> We're actually not going to have the full capacity of all three. We're going
to use one of these as a parody. So, that way if one of them dies, you don't
lose any data. So, you'll get a total of
about 36 terabytes. >> Yeah, I can I can live with that.
>> Cool. And you can always add more cuz I think this case can hold like eight or
10 drives. >> I think we're done. Oh, power supply. >> Okay, thank you. I was going to say
we're not quite done yet. >> So, you got the MSI Mag A550BN
bronze >> 80 plus. >> Well, it's bronze. Who put your parts
list together? >> A nice guy. >> That is not the same size power supply.
Oh, >> this will not fit in here. How about
while we wait for logistics to bring us the proper power supply, we set up your
internet so that way this will be ready to go when that's here.
>> Sounds good. >> Okay, let's move on to that. What was your decision process that landed you on
the U6 meshes? >> Uh, JTY.
>> Okay. Well, yeah, Unifi Shill. I think I know what the next step is. I saw this
on your list. I wasn't actually sure what it was. It's starting to come
together now. Yes. Okay. These are Mocha adapters. So, because
this house has cable wiring throughout
the entire house, we did an entire video where we upgraded Colton's networking.
You can use that wiring to run Ethernet over. Step one of the instructions.
Where's your router? Upstairs. Let's go find it. Let's go.
>> Do you have a coax connection in this room?
>> Uh, yeah. There should be I think it's for the TV. >> Yes. But if I remember correctly, we
have a splitter. >> Do you watch cable in this house? >> No.
>> No one watches cable. >> Barely. I mean, look at TV.
>> Look at this one right here. Like, are you kidding me? >> What are we watching?
>> Okay, >> I'm just confirming because yes, that splitter you mentioned does matter if
you guys still use cable when you're at whatever TV. So, the one downstairs,
>> is cable ever watched on that? >> No. But my dad would like to have the
option too. >> I will go get the splitter. >> And with some movie magic editing, uh,
>> it's a little janky, >> but we have his coax from the street
coming into this splitter. Then one of them goes to the injector here. That
will hopefully get us downstairs. The other one goes back into the Telus
modem, so you can still get your cable from all your other cable boxes. And
then this will help us get internet down to the bottom. Let's go downstairs. Let's set up the other end. And let's
confirm it's working. We will boot up this this this screen cap or
>> we'll have the editor put do an artistic representation of it on screen. Okay.
You remember your hexos login? >> Yeah. >> Login. >> There we go.
>> Okay. It's looking for your server. >> Should be quicker than that. Eh,
>> okay. Fine. I have I have plan B. Plan B. Plan B. Plan B. I called Jake because
I couldn't get the Mocha adapters to work. He walked me through a different configurations, plugging it into the
router, plugging it into the wall, just trying a whole bunch of different stuff. We even ended up outside at the Telus
plugin to see if maybe their coax had been disconnected or something. Uh, it's
a rat's nest in there and we don't see any coax. So, we're going to instead set
up the U6 meshes as they're designed. A
mesh network. We might have to do this temporarily and then come back in the
future and see if we can get Mocha to work. But, we'll at least get you Wi-Fi
throughout your whole house by the end of the day today. >> Is it going to be better than my current
Google Mesh one? >> Probably. Hold on.
I see a network port. What are the odds?
>> I I >> I don't think >> I don't What are the odds?
>> Okay. Okay. >> Holy cow. Are we about to save this?
Okay. Hold on. Things are getting exciting now. Things
>> he's the only one that's really excited about this. I'm pretty sure we're all
kind of just like, "Okay, >> okay. Network." Okay. And then we'll
test it by plugging into my laptop. I currently have a wired network
connection to his Telis AP. >> Okay, >> we don't need Mocha.
>> Wow, >> no way. >> It's not a ton faster, but it is twice
as fast. Okay, what we're going to do is
for today, we can get it working where we will plug in our 2.5 gig switch from
UniFi right there. >> Mhm. >> That way we can set up your U6 mesh AP
and the NAS which we can put just there
for now. >> Yeah. confirm it's up and running. Then
we can use the U6 meshes elsewhere in the house for the full mesh network.
>> And Bob's your uncle. >> And sure, I don't have an uncle named Bob. Oh,
>> but it'll work for today. >> All right. While Elijah figures out what's going on with the whole NAS
situation, we're going to talk about another item I got, which is this Blazer
Mantis anamorphic lens. What makes an anamorphic lens special is how the image
is different compared to a typical like spherical lens. Now, one thing I wanted
to mention that's unique about this particular anamorphic lenses, unlike
most anamorphic lenses where it does
squeeze the image, uh the irises typically are still spherical, but in
this case, it's actually like oval, kind of like a cat's eye or something. And
the reason why is because if you're not shooting wide open and you're shooting
at like I don't know like f5 or something, the bokeh characteristics on
the background are still in that cat's
eye or like oval shape, which is really cool cuz 1.33x squeeze actually isn't
even that much to begin with. So that just helps keep that anamorphic
characteristics without going too ham on the squeezing and desqueezing part. All
right, what do you guys think? We just slapped on the anamorphic lens onto our
FX6. And does the bokeh look more ovally? Does it look cinematic?
Editor, insert cinematic music.
Let's just go to like 2.4 by one. Come on, guys. Linus.
>> Why not? >> This is proof. He's not here, so I can I
get to make the shot. Say whatever you want. I want this to be an anamorphic
going forward. I purchased a Small Rig
wireless follow focus kit and basically it allows you to use this tiny little
knob and pull focus wirelessly. Now, why
would you want to do that wirelessly? Typically, the cam op would not actually
want to be pulling focus. They want to just focus on the shot. So, you would
actually transmit wirelessly the image from the FX6 to somewhere else, like a
different monitor. And there's a focus puller who would actually pull focus and
make sure everything's in focus. So that's what this is for. So let's unbox
this and get it set up on the camera. Uh we got here the gears that would
actually go onto uh the lens. You'll
notice that on the lens there's actually some teeth that go around it. That's for
this to actually bite into and just
allow you to manually control the focus. And here's the knob that you use to
wirelessly control the gears. And we got some rails, which is how we're going to
connect the gears to the camera. And
that's pretty much it. All right, we got the wireless follow focus set up right now. And as you can see, when I do this,
you're looking at Ree now. Back to me.
Back to Reese. All right, that's pretty much it. Let's
go uh check out my next product. And my final film item I got was this Magic
Carpet Ser Pro Slider. This basically
allows you to get really smooth shots. The reason why
this has like momentum is because there
is a flywheel underneath here. Typically
the existing sliders you would have to set up a rubber line that goes across
and then you have to fiddle with it. The beauty of this one is there's literally
no assembly required. Like I just pulled it out of the bag and then it just was
ready to go. >> Cool. So, yeah, >> that's kind of cool. How much does one of these things cost?
>> Uh, about $1,000. >> $1,000 for a hunk of metal. Canadian or
or US? >> US. >> But it comes with extra rails, right?
Look at Look at that. Like, once I add this, you're going to be sliding for
days.
No one is allowed to make fun of me for my Funko Pops anymore. I got the Naz
working with Hexos. We got a new power supply. Thank you, Logistics, for bringing it. And I have all of your U6
meshes adopted now. So you can see in our dashboard here, you have all both
the switch and all three APS. So there it is. Okay, we'll try connecting to
your Wi-Fi here. Oh, it's on par right
now. Oh, it's a little bit. Oh. Oh, it's picking up a tiny bit. >> 90
>> 90. >> Hey, it's about double now. Let's go to your laptop and let's make sure we can
access it. >> All right, let's go. >> Uh,
>> it was been a while, but Reese did set up the monitor. It kind of dominates the
space here. >> It's quite large. It It does look good.
I mean, we don't even have it on yet. >> Before we do that, we got to do the peel. Oh my goodness.
>> Oh. Oh, no.
What? That This is
That is not a smooth peel. Holy crap.
What was that?
Oh, I should have pulled both sides down. That may have been the worst sounding
peel I have ever heard in my entire life. It's almost like it says, "Please
carefully tear off protective film with two hands."
>> Hey, damn. Yo, that OLED contrast looks
>> It looks really cool. >> Really good. >> That is a very pretty monitor. We need
to make sure we can connect to our Naz. Sit down, buddy. Have a seat right there.
>> Oh, you know what? This is a 240 Hz monitor. The HDMI on the M1 only does 4K
60 Hz, which is probably going to pain a
lot of you out there. >> That's fine. I mean, I'm mostly just video editing and like editing photos,
so it's >> it's probably Okay. Okay. So, now we've
I configured the storage when it was over there. But the fact that you've been able to access it is already huge.
Yeah. 35.8 tab is what we got cuz again,
we set up with a RAID 5. So, one of those drives is just parody. Okay. So,
let's try dragging something over to it. I don't know, like a
>> whatever. I have my Bali trip. Let's uh >> Oh, sure.
>> Let's try backing it up. >> This might take a while.
>> Yes, >> because we're still on wireless connection from your MacBook back to the
Naz. It says about a day. Yikes.
He was still on his Google Wi-Fi for the laptop, so we switched it over to the
Ubiquiti one. Now, I don't expect it to be worlds different, but it will
probably be faster. >> We're down to 19 hours. >> 18 hours. Oh, 16K. There we go. That's
much better. >> You would still get faster connection
with a cable. >> Yeah, >> but that is much better. >> Hell yeah. >> Okay, let's watch something.
>> All right. Is the black levels set correctly? >> I don't know. I didn't do any tweaking.
>> You can probably Yeah, you'll probably have to tweak it. >> I'm still blown away. This looks great.
This is all your footage that you took. >> Correct. On my DJI Mavic 3 Classic.
>> Wow. >> Yeah, it looks good. >> It does. >> Looks really good.
>> You know what also looks good? Well, we didn't really clean much, but
this AMD Ultimate Tech upgrade, thank you very much, AMD. We got you a new
NAS. We upgraded your Wi-Fi. We got you an R. Yeah, thank you for that. We got
you an RC car that you guys played with while I was troubleshooting the Naz, so
that was super good. Thank you for that. >> What else that would Oh, and all the
camera gear, of course. My goodness. >> You weren't there for that. >> What's your first project you're going
to do with all the camera gear in Naz? >> Actually, don't know, but I'm excited to
use this bad boy. >> Yeah, >> I'll shoot something with it.
>> Awesome. Yeah. >> If you guys enjoyed this video, make sure you go check out
>> uh >> how about mine? Cuz you edited my upgrade. >> There you go. >> Go check out my upgrade.
>> It was I think a lot more chaotic than this one somehow.
