1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,280
it's ultrawide festival 2017 we've got three contestants each of which has been

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,559
challenged as part of their final quest

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,759
with building the dream setup that they

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:17,440
submitted in the first two rounds so

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:22,560
there were a couple of hey can i be part of the video yeah you could be part of

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,439
the video dawg sweet okay it's austin so

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,720
hey guys it's austin i'm just gonna do everything like this just like holding

8
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:33,600
yeah sure we'll tie our legs together the whole day will be three-legged race

9
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:38,640
okay get get on my intro so each of them had to do a 2 000

10
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:47,360
dream setup including the lg 34 uc 89 g gaming monitor so this

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,559
is our first contestant taylor he's got a mad shout out to his wife for putting

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,800
up with his bull crap over the last couple weekends working on these videos

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,160
got a mad shout out for your son who he was in the second video he was one of

14
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:02,320
the little noobs and he is working on what was it biochemistry yeah getting my

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,600
phd in uh cell biology and biophysics it's going good so you should be able to

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,320
handle building a computer you know that's not something they train us how

17
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:12,880
to do now zachary our second contestant

18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,720
computer video making clearly you're pretty damn good at it but uh were you

19
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:19,840
guys like actually for serious blacksmithing yeah we're amateur

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,600
blacksmiths with a beard like that you're an amateur blacksmith

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,680
we have to look the part okay so give us give us a couple facts about yourself

22
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,520
well i'm studying astrophysics we're all physics here so

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,200
holy crap okay must have been a requirement and are you much of a gamer

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,159
yeah absolutely awesome well that's good news because the monitor that is part of

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:46,720
zachary's ultimate dream setup here runs at 144 hertz stock and overclocks to

26
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,159
166 hertz because this thing is g-sync meaning no stutter no tearing

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,640
no all right you can start unboxing your 2 000 rig and as soon as i

28
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,320
say go you can start building okay sorry i should have had you just open this i'm

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,920
sorry i should have opened it yeah yeah why was i blaming myself when

30
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,160
there were perfectly good other people to blame true i've got two arms i'm just

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,360
lazy you know what

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,520
yours is getting the rough unboxing treatment so here it is

33
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:19,440
here's your monitor and you can go ahead

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,720
and pull up all your stuff whoever builds the best system and we're going

35
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,080
to be looking at their component selections we're going to be looking at the way they put it together everything

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,800
from cable management to the way that they did their hair this morning whoever

37
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:37,200
builds the best system gets not only the 2 000 system to take away with them but

38
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:43,360
also eight thousand dollars in additional gear all right okay am i

39
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:47,000
ready yeah okay three two one start

40
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,000
oh my god

41
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,599
so what's your stick i see you uh

42
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,400
brought your own box cutter the weird part is how i got on the plane

43
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,440
definitely the weird thing is i broke federal a lot to get here

44
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:10,319
so tell me about what makes your rig optimized for

45
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,680
what you're doing with it well um

46
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,519
i tried to make sure that i had a fast enough

47
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:22,720
RAM that was good for the i7 which is 2400 makers okay

48
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:28,800
and i used my extra money to dump into an overclocked 1080 ti which is very

49
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,680
essential for 3d rendering

50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,480
zach did you go by zach yes okay not zachary

51
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,080
nope things are going a little rough for you right now yeah do you need some help

52
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:45,040
can i help you do you want me to help you with the i o shield yeah lab too are you i don't know i have to ask

53
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,120
you went with a b series chipset on an unlocked processor

54
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:51,920
see there's a secret to it i don't think anybody knows that

55
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:56,000
it's because i'm stupid

56
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:02,239
tell me why you would use up part of your budget for usb extension

57
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,239
i need one

58
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:06,879
no but it's for it's for the secret weapon actually

59
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:13,280
it's not really a secret weapon everybody knows what it is interesting

60
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:16,400
i gotta say i've tried toby eye tracking

61
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,959
have you and from a gaming perspective

62
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,120
i was not too impressed i'll just leave

63
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,759
what

64
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,919
taylor wait huh actually hold on i'm

65
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,280
actually serious can i see this for a second yeah

66
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:38,320
i think there might be a bent pin in your socket oh

67
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,199
this thing is like mangled there's a bunch of bent pins here

68
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,600
and there's a bent pin here this is this thing brand new yeah i just

69
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,680
took it out of the case uh

70
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:55,919
okay so so here's the plan

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,000
uh it's like not new but uh it's z170

72
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:01,759
which shouldn't have any performance impact on your system

73
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,880
but like dude you got a bunk motherboard uh we don't want to take any points off

74
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,639
for that so the one thing you're missing is the critical feature that everybody needs in

75
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,440
2017. it doesn't have RGB

76
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:20,000
can i can i have a minute so you went small form factor why i did

77
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,840
go ahead keep working but this is being hosted by lg

78
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,039
and it's about the monitor so i wanted a case that would stand out and look like

79
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:31,199
the monitor so i went with something with curved side panels and this is the

80
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,199
thing to do it so wow that is a hell of a lot more thought

81
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,880
than i would have put into it i came here with the mindset of trying

82
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,080
to win the whole thing and so i did kind of build this around the competition

83
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,639
more than anything else i see

84
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,919
now last time i was here you didn't have your motherboard in the case

85
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:55,520
and i helped you install your io shield and you still don't have the motherboard

86
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,360
in the case you want to for the ioshio

87
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,120
it's all squishy you just need the appropriate tools so here i'm going to

88
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,919
show you a motherboard installation trick that i picked up back in nom

89
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:11,840
you can you can press on it pretty hard like i think you're being a little bit

90
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:16,160
gentle ginger yeah and so then all you want to do is just check um i couldn't

91
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:20,400
help noticing that you've got RGB RAM on a non-RGB motherboard yeah i really

92
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,280
should have thought about that right all right you really should have planned

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:28,240
the head a little bit better all right how you doing you seem a

94
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:29,520
little stressed i'm a little hot yeah

95
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:34,880
man i'm glad you got something with rsync

96
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,800
because this build is sunk

97
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,520
so so far your build is going kind of uneventfully

98
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:45,680
i'm sorry so uh you tried to convince us that this flame

99
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:50,160
band thing is is flare but that was a lie yeah it's hot in here

100
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,520
so tyler Linus hold on let me see if i can find

101
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,520
something to criticize

102
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:04,000
this one has two connectors on it you didn't need this one at all

103
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,720
ouch that was all i really had like you haven't done much so there's not a lot

104
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:13,520
to criticize i've been very flippant so far but we actually have to decide who's

105
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,360
walking away with the thing totally um i think zack's out the motherboard's a big

106
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:20,639
oversight it's a big oversight big oversight like i've been giving taylor

107
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:26,080
about you know his broken motherboard or whatever yeah zach actually like

108
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:31,039
scratched up the back of his board here's what i actually don't like about

109
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:33,039
taylor's build he designed it to win

110
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:36,160
instead of designing it to be a balanced build i don't think we can dock him for

111
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,240
that i think we can i think is that part of the competition

112
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:44,639
the idea is to build your dream setup i think john has the most balanced build

113
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,560
he does in the budget he managed to get an unlocked processor

114
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,400
an overclocking capable board and a 1080 ti so he's got as good a

115
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:57,599
graphics card as anyone else and if you talk to him about what he's planning to do with it it all makes it total sense

116
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,240
perfect sense i think john and taylor are pretty even for me right now i feel like they're

117
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:04,720
both fairly close there's a lot that can kind of go wrong or right with either of

118
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,800
them all right you've got a wow you've got a lot of pci

119
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:15,280
express connectors connected right now i'm not done yet no the cable management

120
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,000
scoring is done now though but it's it's not like a score out of a hundred it's

121
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,360
like uh kind of more of like a subjective score so this i'm just i'm

122
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:26,479
giving yours like a a business in the front party in the back kind of it's like a naked party in

123
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:30,240
the back though it's like everyone's writhing around kind of party i'm gonna

124
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:35,519
go judge some other people look at this this this guy is your build

125
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:37,599
is a logo disaster right side up logo

126
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:42,240
okay right side up logo right side up logo what the hell is this

127
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:47,440
they installed that at the factory oh oh so i've been having a lot of

128
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,959
factory problems today so your mo

129
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,640
see this is the first time a manufacturer first time's a fluke the

130
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:57,040
second time is a pattern sir i think that's the third time so

131
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:01,519
you know what we can i'm not an expert on math don't listen you're doing a

132
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:07,360
great job things he's just mean you're my favorite perfect youtube

133
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,440
okay zach how's progress not too bad

134
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:13,760
you got your water cooler in very nice that is mounted correctly you

135
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:18,320
got thermal paste in there you got your logo right side up he's got his logo

136
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,399
right side up tyler i think it's taylor

137
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:25,680
jackass is what it is wow your cable management is really

138
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,000
coming along that is looking really good now

139
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,200
it's too bad i had to grade it before it's fine

140
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,120
that's a shame dude you broke the usb 3 header i'm telling

141
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,720
you it's not me these manufacturers have it out for me you know what

142
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:43,680
i shouldn't have called you jackass before i actually feel kind of bad about

143
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:49,200
that because what i should have called you was captain excuses that was my nickname

144
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:54,240
in high school with any luck like it's just not going to turn on at all

145
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,640
all right you're powered up

146
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,200
you're the first one to be powered up but what you didn't know

147
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,360
is that part of the lightning round is for us to short out the first

148
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,040
movement no i'm just kidding only tyler taylor see he actually screwed me up

149
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:16,079
only taylor gets to have a broken motherboard today freaking awesome man

150
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,880
no keyboard detected though no keyboard detected press one 110 for one to enter

151
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,440
setup this this is what's wrong with the pc

152
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:27,600
industry wow you've made a lot of progress since

153
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,360
the last time i was here thank you cable management looks good in the front you

154
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,240
know i uh i was a little worried about about you getting done in a reasonable

155
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,760
amount of time here and then you kind of pulled it together man

156
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,800
it's looking good dude not a bad little system yeah and it's on

157
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,360
which is an improvement over taylor

158
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:51,760
i didn't even show you the the greatest piece of this whole build

159
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,480
oh do you have a secret weapon too i do it's called

160
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:59,680
a background that yes wow that is just about the most

161
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,320
like overly masculine

162
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:08,959
thing of all time this might take several minutes zach but

163
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:14,240
that's okay because you are actually the entire Windows installation process

164
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:19,200
ahead of taylor over there he was way out ahead did you really put this uh

165
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:22,320
20-sided die on your uh power button you are actually the last one to start your

166
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,240
Windows install you were way ahead of the game you need

167
00:11:24,079 --> 00:11:29,760
to still do overclocking cable management RGB you got to download your

168
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,279
drivers all right that's okay you still got time

169
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,360
we can do this we actually i guess it is we at this

170
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:41,519
point at this point okay so hold on so what have i not done in your system i

171
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:46,480
you installed your power supply let's take a moment to reflect on

172
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:51,120
the fact that none of our contestants managed to kill the monitor

173
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:56,160
this video brought to you by lg ultrawide

174
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,920
all right so everyone's ready yes i'm ready running you're ready are you ready

175
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,079
important thing yes judgment time

176
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:07,519
i was just waiting for it judgment time were you waiting for it that time i was

177
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,760
not so for ghost recon we're running at the native resolution of these monitors

178
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:16,160
has 2560 by 1080 and we are using the ultra preset because we figure for two

179
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:20,480
grand you should be having a pretty ultra gaming experience now one of the

180
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:25,279
things that we're going to be looking for is not just being able to run the game but

181
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:30,000
being able to run it at a frame rate where you're going to be taking advantage of these high refresh rate

182
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:35,200
monitors so gentlemen hit it and let's have a look at those benchmark scores

183
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:40,480
oh oh here it comes 65 7 65 9 and fifty three point four

184
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,240
okay you guys basically tied you guys are gonna have to run it like medium

185
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,040
details to get all those juicy buttery frames i think that it did pretty well i

186
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,360
have a really nice graphics card a really good i7 processor one of the

187
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:57,760
advantages i have over them is that i have a Corsair or name brand

188
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,000
keyboard and mouse and i also brought along a headset and a

189
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:05,120
mouse pad i thought everyone was doing that i

190
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:10,639
could have saved that money and put it into a trident RGB RAM set so that way i could

191
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,760
have had a much nicer looking build overall i think i did really well i've

192
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:19,760
got a decent build i kind of went for more

193
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,720
value spread out throughout the build i wanted peripherals that will last a

194
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,360
while i wanted an immersive experience but to

195
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,200
use a monitor for an immersive experience i figured you would probably

196
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,959
need an extra peripheral that's so that's why i chose the

197
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:39,360
the tobii eye tracker yeah my whole thing was based on immersion

198
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:44,320
i feel like i did worse than i could have if i'd had the original motherboard

199
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:49,120
i planned for um i think i managed to pull it together all right i'm hoping

200
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:50,959
that Linus and austin give me

201
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,839
a little bit of extra credit knowing that i had to go through a few broken

202
00:13:53,839 --> 00:14:00,519
components so

203
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,519
we'll just have to see

204
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,800
all right so third place is

205
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:15,279
zachary you uh you fought hard the scores were

206
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:19,040
super close actually it was actually and we basically agreed on almost everything

207
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:22,480
yeah the performance hurts you the good news is that you come out of this with a

208
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:27,600
wicked awesome gaming rig and hopefully you had fun today

209
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:31,360
and you get this dope ass trophy can i put this on a

210
00:14:28,839 --> 00:14:34,720
resume you can put it on a resume yeah there you go number two well i think we

211
00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:40,079
need number one i think number number two is pretty obvious when we do number one that makes sense so why don't you

212
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:45,279
give each of us one of them randomly oh look at this all right two out of ten

213
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:49,440
two out of ten for these guys before we announce the winner you guys

214
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,959
all did really well it was way close you guys had such similar sort of setups you

215
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,839
obviously ran into a lot of bottlenecks and sort of issues but you handled it

216
00:14:54,639 --> 00:15:00,079
really well and most of them weren't your fault so you know that was really

217
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:05,120
well done but john you took it home oh

218
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:09,120
wonderful and uh taylor you fought hard and you were a lot of fun to hang out

219
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,480
with today you were okay too this is this is official i mean it's not it

220
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:18,160
doesn't even really look like a check you actually can't go catch this yeah yeah they're gonna laugh

221
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:21,360
is this 21x9 hold on hold on let's get a validation

222
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,000
here no it's not congratulations though i

223
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,760
think you did a great job um you put the system together really well you had no

224
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,839
real issues with time performance was the best i think you have you know RGB

225
00:15:32,079 --> 00:15:37,199
and like the lighting and colors all completely on point the configuration

226
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:41,440
was pretty much what i would have built yeah so awesome

227
00:15:38,959 --> 00:15:45,279
good work good work good work thank you guys so thanks

228
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:48,160
