WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.280
it's ultrawide festival 2017 we've got three contestants each of which has been

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.559
challenged as part of their final quest

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.759
with building the dream setup that they

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:17.440
submitted in the first two rounds so

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

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:25.439
the video dawg sweet okay it's austin so

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.720
hey guys it's austin i'm just gonna do everything like this just like holding

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:33.600
yeah sure we'll tie our legs together the whole day will be three-legged race

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:38.640
okay get get on my intro so each of them had to do a 2 000

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:47.360
dream setup including the lg 34 uc 89 g gaming monitor so this

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

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.800
up with his bull crap over the last couple weekends working on these videos

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

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:02.320
the little noobs and he is working on what was it biochemistry yeah getting my

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

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.320
handle building a computer you know that's not something they train us how

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:12.880
to do now zachary our second contestant

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.720
computer video making clearly you're pretty damn good at it but uh were you

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:19.840
guys like actually for serious blacksmithing yeah we're amateur

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:23.600
blacksmiths with a beard like that you're an amateur blacksmith

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

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.520
well i'm studying astrophysics we're all physics here so

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.200
holy crap okay must have been a requirement and are you much of a gamer

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:40.159
yeah absolutely awesome well that's good news because the monitor that is part of

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:46.720
zachary's ultimate dream setup here runs at 144 hertz stock and overclocks to

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:50.159
166 hertz because this thing is g-sync meaning no stutter no tearing

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:56.640
no all right you can start unboxing your 2 000 rig and as soon as i

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

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:03.920
sorry i should have opened it yeah yeah why was i blaming myself when

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

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.360
lazy you know what

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.520
yours is getting the rough unboxing treatment so here it is

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.440
here's your monitor and you can go ahead

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.720
and pull up all your stuff whoever builds the best system and we're going

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

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.800
from cable management to the way that they did their hair this morning whoever

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

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:43.360
also eight thousand dollars in additional gear all right okay am i

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:47.000
ready yeah okay three two one start

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.000
oh my god

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:57.599
so what's your stick i see you uh

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:00.400
brought your own box cutter the weird part is how i got on the plane

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.440
definitely the weird thing is i broke federal a lot to get here

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:10.319
so tell me about what makes your rig optimized for

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.680
what you're doing with it well um

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:17.519
i tried to make sure that i had a fast enough

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:22.720
RAM that was good for the i7 which is 2400 makers okay

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:28.800
and i used my extra money to dump into an overclocked 1080 ti which is very

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:29.680
essential for 3d rendering

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:34.480
zach did you go by zach yes okay not zachary

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

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

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:49.120
you went with a b series chipset on an unlocked processor

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.920
see there's a secret to it i don't think anybody knows that

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:56.000
it's because i'm stupid

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:02.239
tell me why you would use up part of your budget for usb extension

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.239
i need one

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:06.879
no but it's for it's for the secret weapon actually

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:13.280
it's not really a secret weapon everybody knows what it is interesting

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:16.400
i gotta say i've tried toby eye tracking

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:18.959
have you and from a gaming perspective

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:21.120
i was not too impressed i'll just leave

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.759
what

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.919
taylor wait huh actually hold on i'm

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.280
actually serious can i see this for a second yeah

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:38.320
i think there might be a bent pin in your socket oh

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:43.199
this thing is like mangled there's a bunch of bent pins here

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.600
and there's a bent pin here this is this thing brand new yeah i just

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.680
took it out of the case uh

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:55.919
okay so so here's the plan

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.000
uh it's like not new but uh it's z170

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:01.759
which shouldn't have any performance impact on your system

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

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

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:15.440
2017. it doesn't have RGB

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:20.000
can i can i have a minute so you went small form factor why i did

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.840
go ahead keep working but this is being hosted by lg

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

00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:31.199
the monitor so i went with something with curved side panels and this is the

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:35.199
thing to do it so wow that is a hell of a lot more thought

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.880
than i would have put into it i came here with the mindset of trying

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:42.080
to win the whole thing and so i did kind of build this around the competition

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:44.639
more than anything else i see

00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:51.919
now last time i was here you didn't have your motherboard in the case

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:55.520
and i helped you install your io shield and you still don't have the motherboard

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.360
in the case you want to for the ioshio

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.120
it's all squishy you just need the appropriate tools so here i'm going to

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.919
show you a motherboard installation trick that i picked up back in nom

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

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

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:20.400
help noticing that you've got RGB RAM on a non-RGB motherboard yeah i really

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:23.280
should have thought about that right all right you really should have planned

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:28.240
the head a little bit better all right how you doing you seem a

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:29.520
little stressed i'm a little hot yeah

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:34.880
man i'm glad you got something with rsync

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.800
because this build is sunk

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:39.520
so so far your build is going kind of uneventfully

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:45.680
i'm sorry so uh you tried to convince us that this flame

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:50.160
band thing is is flare but that was a lie yeah it's hot in here

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.520
so tyler Linus hold on let me see if i can find

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:55.520
something to criticize

00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:04.000
this one has two connectors on it you didn't need this one at all

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

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

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

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.639
oversight it's a big oversight big oversight like i've been giving taylor

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:26.080
about you know his broken motherboard or whatever yeah zach actually like

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:31.039
scratched up the back of his board here's what i actually don't like about

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:33.039
taylor's build he designed it to win

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

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.240
that i think we can i think is that part of the competition

00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:44.639
the idea is to build your dream setup i think john has the most balanced build

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:48.560
he does in the budget he managed to get an unlocked processor

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:52.400
an overclocking capable board and a 1080 ti so he's got as good a

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

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

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

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:10.800
them all right you've got a wow you've got a lot of pci

00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:15.280
express connectors connected right now i'm not done yet no the cable management

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

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

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

00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:30.240
the back though it's like everyone's writhing around kind of party i'm gonna

00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:35.519
go judge some other people look at this this this guy is your build

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:37.599
is a logo disaster right side up logo

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:42.240
okay right side up logo right side up logo what the hell is this

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:47.440
they installed that at the factory oh oh so i've been having a lot of

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.959
factory problems today so your mo

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:52.640
see this is the first time a manufacturer first time's a fluke the

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:57.040
second time is a pattern sir i think that's the third time so

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

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:07.360
great job things he's just mean you're my favorite perfect youtube

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:09.440
okay zach how's progress not too bad

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.760
you got your water cooler in very nice that is mounted correctly you

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

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.399
right side up tyler i think it's taylor

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:25.680
jackass is what it is wow your cable management is really

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:30.000
coming along that is looking really good now

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.200
it's too bad i had to grade it before it's fine

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.120
that's a shame dude you broke the usb 3 header i'm telling

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.720
you it's not me these manufacturers have it out for me you know what

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.680
i shouldn't have called you jackass before i actually feel kind of bad about

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:49.200
that because what i should have called you was captain excuses that was my nickname

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

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.640
all right you're powered up

00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:03.200
you're the first one to be powered up but what you didn't know

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:07.360
is that part of the lightning round is for us to short out the first

00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:11.040
movement no i'm just kidding only tyler taylor see he actually screwed me up

00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:16.079
only taylor gets to have a broken motherboard today freaking awesome man

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.880
no keyboard detected though no keyboard detected press one 110 for one to enter

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:23.440
setup this this is what's wrong with the pc

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:27.600
industry wow you've made a lot of progress since

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:31.360
the last time i was here thank you cable management looks good in the front you

00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:34.240
know i uh i was a little worried about about you getting done in a reasonable

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:37.760
amount of time here and then you kind of pulled it together man

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:42.800
it's looking good dude not a bad little system yeah and it's on

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:47.360
which is an improvement over taylor

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:51.760
i didn't even show you the the greatest piece of this whole build

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.480
oh do you have a secret weapon too i do it's called

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:59.680
a background that yes wow that is just about the most

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:04.320
like overly masculine

00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:08.959
thing of all time this might take several minutes zach but

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:14.240
that's okay because you are actually the entire Windows installation process

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:19.200
ahead of taylor over there he was way out ahead did you really put this uh

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

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:26.240
Windows install you were way ahead of the game you need

00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:29.760
to still do overclocking cable management RGB you got to download your

00:11:28.640 --> 00:11:33.279
drivers all right that's okay you still got time

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:37.360
we can do this we actually i guess it is we at this

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

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:46.480
you installed your power supply let's take a moment to reflect on

00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:51.120
the fact that none of our contestants managed to kill the monitor

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:56.160
this video brought to you by lg ultrawide

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

00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:04.079
important thing yes judgment time

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

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:11.760
not so for ghost recon we're running at the native resolution of these monitors

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:16.160
has 2560 by 1080 and we are using the ultra preset because we figure for two

00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:20.480
grand you should be having a pretty ultra gaming experience now one of the

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

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

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:35.200
monitors so gentlemen hit it and let's have a look at those benchmark scores

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:40.480
oh oh here it comes 65 7 65 9 and fifty three point four

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:44.240
okay you guys basically tied you guys are gonna have to run it like medium

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:49.040
details to get all those juicy buttery frames i think that it did pretty well i

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:53.360
have a really nice graphics card a really good i7 processor one of the

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:57.760
advantages i have over them is that i have a Corsair or name brand

00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:02.000
keyboard and mouse and i also brought along a headset and a

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.120
mouse pad i thought everyone was doing that i

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

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:13.760
have had a much nicer looking build overall i think i did really well i've

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:19.760
got a decent build i kind of went for more

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:22.720
value spread out throughout the build i wanted peripherals that will last a

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:27.360
while i wanted an immersive experience but to

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:31.200
use a monitor for an immersive experience i figured you would probably

00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:34.959
need an extra peripheral that's so that's why i chose the

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:39.360
the tobii eye tracker yeah my whole thing was based on immersion

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

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

00:13:46.079 --> 00:13:50.959
that Linus and austin give me

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:55.839
a little bit of extra credit knowing that i had to go through a few broken

00:13:53.839 --> 00:14:00.519
components so

00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:00.519
we'll just have to see

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.800
all right so third place is

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.279
zachary you uh you fought hard the scores were

00:14:13.199 --> 00:14:19.040
super close actually it was actually and we basically agreed on almost everything

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

00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:27.600
wicked awesome gaming rig and hopefully you had fun today

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:31.360
and you get this dope ass trophy can i put this on a

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

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

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

00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:49.440
two out of ten for these guys before we announce the winner you guys

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

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.839
obviously ran into a lot of bottlenecks and sort of issues but you handled it

00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:00.079
really well and most of them weren't your fault so you know that was really

00:14:57.839 --> 00:15:05.120
well done but john you took it home oh

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

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

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

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:21.360
is this 21x9 hold on hold on let's get a validation

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:26.000
here no it's not congratulations though i

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

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:33.839
real issues with time performance was the best i think you have you know RGB

00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:37.199
and like the lighting and colors all completely on point the configuration

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.440
was pretty much what i would have built yeah so awesome

00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:45.279
good work good work good work thank you guys so thanks

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.160
