Have you heard of the term gambiara?
>> Gambia? >> Okay. Well, I hadn't, but as it turns
out, I'm really good at it. It means taking mostly junk and turning into
something that's kind of usable. And it's a talent that I share with Tom from
Brazil. >> Whether it's his cardboard monitor stand
or his drawing table, Tom's ability to innovate with garbage is truly peak
cinema. And when we saw him rocking a gaming system that is older than one of
my children, we knew that we had to step in. There's just one problem. After we
finish his upgrade, we're going to have to ship all of this back to Brazil,
which means we're going to need to pack a lot of performance into not a lot of
space. Thankfully, Asus ROG, who sponsored this video, provided us some
mini ITX parts to hopefully make our job a little easier. Although, I do get the
feeling there may be some Gambia Gambia
Gambia, some jank involved. Roll the
intro.
>> I just noticed your glasses. >> I have a 2-year-old. He threw my glasses
to five dogs right before I embarked. >> And of course, that's how you repaired
them. >> Gambia, man. >> Tell me three things that I don't know
about Brazil. >> It snows. Gary Baldi is from there.
>> Okay. So, he was like a white guy who went there and like imperialed. No,
actually he tried to install a republic.
>> Oh, so he was chill. >> Yeah. Oh, we actually have the richest
filmmaker in the world, Bales. He owns a bank, by the way.
>> I thought you were going to tell me that to buy hardware like this down in Brazil
would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of two to 3x what it would cost in
somewhere like the US. >> Two and a half times due to import
tariffs. So tell me, as someone who lives somewhere with very high import
tariffs, do you feel that they are a good thing for the consumer?
>> No, not at all. >> But you found a loophole. Send a
lowquality video to LMG.
>> Get a free computer. I assume you've built your fair share of computers.
>> I work with that. >> Okay. So I won't have to instruct you on
anything. Okay. Where are you going to start? >> Usually >> with duct tape.
>> No, usually I would be careful. I would uh connect this to uh power
>> really ground myself so I wouldn't fry
my stuff. >> This will be the first ever ROG rig
reboot that's done carefully. I feel like you're a skilled enough workman
that you could have done a better job though. >> I could have had no time.
>> I thought he had the new meta ray bands. >> Do anything about me looks looks like
I'm smart. >> You've created contraptions that I could only dream of. Frankly,
>> can you please give it to me? >> No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is all
yours. Starting, of course, with our ROG Loki 850 W 80 Plus platinum power
supply. This is a very small 850 W power
supply. And it still has a modular interface and a 120 mm cooling fan.
>> And according to most reviews, it's very good. >> Not all reviews. Some reviews say it's
bad. >> Well, it's A, not S on the in a tier list. I just passively knew that cuz I
really love tech. >> You knew the tier of this specific SFXL
power supply. Okay, I got to plug this in first. Give me a hand. Don't fry my
stuff, please. >> Nice. Give it your blessing. >> Wow, this is going to be so little work
today. Well, I mean, you forgot the most important part. Oh, >> this is the ROG Stricks B850i
gaming Wi-Fi. Basically, we chose it cuz it's the ITX1, and we need this system
to be really small. Is the plan to hand carry it on the flight with you?
>> If I had the money to pay the customs back at home, but I don't. So, yeah,
you're going to ship it. >> I just assumed we'd ask him to smuggle it. Caution. You know what I do with
caution? >> Oh my god. >> You know what I do with caution?
>> That we just watched what you do with caution. Throw it to the wind.
>> Exactly. I throw it at the wind
>> in your face. >> Yeah. >> You sure you're going to give me this?
>> Yeah. >> You realize how much this cost? >> In Brazil, this would be over $1,000.
>> Or a kidney. >> We went with the 9800 X3D. This offers a
great mix of allaround productivity performance and of course peak gaming
performance thanks to its 3D vcache. Have you ever installed an AM5 chip?
>> Actually, no. None of my clients had the money to buy one of those.
>> Oh god, no. No, I'm actually serious this time. Do not close that.
>> No. Oh yeah, >> there we go. That could have been disastrous because Tom has watched
enough of these ROG rig reboots that he knows I often say that when I don't mean
it, but he literally did not have it in the right spot. >> The reason why I did it wrong was cuz I
was waiting for you to do that and I was nervous. >> So, you actually did it wrong. So, I
actually had to panic stop you >> and you actually yelled at my face.
>> Can you give me the run, please? We went with 64 gigs of Manta DDR5 from Vcolor.
Uh DDR5 6000 CL30. So that's a pretty
decent little DDR5. >> Did it advertise that I have to turn on
uh something under my bias? >> Let's have a look. Let's see if it says
up to high performance overclocking enabled. Lifetime limited warranty. No.
>> So they owe me money. I actually brought this up cuz I this is important to talk
about. Basically, there was a class action against Corsair that they settled
and agreed to pay over $5 million to people who claimed that because it says
DDR56000, but you have to change a setting in your BIOS in order to enable
that, they're entitled to compensation. I strongly disagree and I would disagree
when it came to VCOL as well. >> We love consumer rights. We are
consumers, but this ain't it, Chief.
Yeah, Brazil actually has pretty strong consumer protections, don't they?
>> Of course, we have Procon, which is our institution that is focused on basically
lowering up and if a company screws with you, they will screw with the company.
>> Procon went after Nintendo recently or something, right? Yeah. I love that
Brazil was one of the only places that had the stones to go after Nintendo for
that absolute Nintendo, >> they look good.
>> Yeah, these are super cool. DDR5 is a little tricky to line up. Yeah, you got
it wrong. >> Yeah, I did. Well, again,
>> I I get it. DDR3 is like, you know, not that outdated.
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I used the DR4. I was actually one of the first
people to buy Skylake, which was a bad decision.
>> I mean, it's held out pretty well. >> It works. It is good for the era but I
could have went with AM4 and I could be
using some of those uh 5500X
3D that they are launching only in South America.
>> Yeah. So because companies like AMD will
have specific SKUs for that market to bring the pricing down enough that even
after the tariffs someone hopefully can
afford it. when people from other countries uh learn about those, there
are people that just outright say, "Oh, they're bad." Yeah, no We know
it's bad, but it's what we can pay. >> Honestly, I think that's actually the
reason that Intel relaunched the 10400. It's probably meant to be
>> to dupe Brazilians. Sorry, I'm very salty about that.
>> I didn't say it. >> I did. >> No, I feel like we should get you a
screwdriver. >> Do you know how much a screwdriver like
those uh costs in Brazil? >> $800. How much?
>> Uh, more like 12. >> $12.
>> 100. >> Oh, what? What? No, that can't. What? Why?
>> With shipping, uh, taxes, and the actual
price of the product, about three times
uh, a month of the minimum wage. >> Yeah. >> So, what you're saying is that you want
two. >> Well, if if you gave me two, not going
to lie, I was going to sell one and actually use it to buy stuff for my
children. >> Let's go get him a screwdriver or two. Welcome to Creator Warehouse, where
dreams come alive. It's Nate. He's the
only one here. And the one who is least likely to be able to stop us from taking
a screwdriver. Yes. This one seems about your speed.
Gambia. No, no, I'm kidding. I'll give you a working one.
>> What happened to the ratchet mechanism to that of that one?
>> We were learning things. I think I have found something. This This is one of our
old black shafts from when we first launched the screwdriver.
>> This is one of our prototype clear plastic handles with the old plastic
that is not durable and totally sucks.
>> Functional. >> Yeah. >> This is a completely different color
from what we ended up using for the actual clear screwdriver.
>> Yes. >> And I just put a random black end cap on it. By taking this, I'm practically
doing some >> garbage collection. >> I would say industrial espionage.
>> Oh, definitely not that. This just felt appropriate. Unique one of one item. And
you can also have a regular one. Would you like a Noctua edition? Retro
edition. >> Retro. Retro. Retro. >> All right. Sold.
>> Oh jeez. >> What? >> There's a little spring in there. Damn it, Tom. The spring's not supposed to be
there. It's not. >> News flash. Canadian YouTuber takes
spring from poor Brazilian guy. Oh, stop.
>> I can add an SSD. >> 4 TB.
>> 4 TB. Wow. >> We gave him a 4 TB. Yeah. >> Thought he deserved it.
>> I can store so much Gambia in this bad boy.
>> Don't hit it. >> I did not hit it. >> And if you do hit it, don't quit it.
>> I did not hit her. >> So much peeling.
>> Have you installed an M.2 before? >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. So,
>> my computer actually has one. Those are cheap enough. >> No, they're not. But back in the day, uh
the M.2s would go over here. >> Yeah. Yeah. On the back.
>> Well, this one has one. >> If I'm not mistaken, the back one is
slower. >> No, this is Gen 5. >> Yeah, >> the back one's the fast one.
>> Wo. Good. I guess >> they're both Gen 5.
>> Wo. For it to have two Gen 5 slots, it's
not common. >> Yeah, I was surprised. >> Yeah. >> Very cool. So, do you want it on the
back or the front? >> Uh, put it in the front. I guess this is
pretty secured. Uh, other than that, I
don't think we have Hey, that's my peel. Canadian guy steals
peel. >> Billionaire YouTuber steals little guys
peel. >> Just a second. Something got in my eye.
>> Yeah, I'm feeling pretty emotional, too. I just I love giving people into my eye.
>> I love giving disadvantaged people computers.
>> Well, you are actually doing that. But okay. Is there something else that I
need to do in this board right now? >> Kind of like rub it for good luck.
>> Okay, then we're all set cuz I would not rub it. I will rub this one again.
>> Yes, >> I guess we'll do the case. Magic cube.
>> Well, I mean, only if you dare. >> Yeah, I don't do drugs.
>> Okay, no one's going to get that reference. I can't open this.
>> No, that doesn't. >> No, that's magic eightball.
>> No one will get that one. >> No people know what magic eightballs
are. >> Yeah, old people. This is the best game ever.
Do you do you can you solve it? >> Nope. Well, I can solve it. Oh, hey,
look. No, I can't. Sh. Shh. Shh. Don't
make fun of Latinos. Okay. Oh, I solve it.
>> Great job. But don't make fun of Latinos. How can I not when they bring a
GPU that looks like this? >> Do Do you have an RTX 190?
>> I don't. Well, I mean, I do now, I guess. >> Oh, come on. Throw me a bone here. I
actually chiplet. >> So cool.
>> Why is all your VRAMm BS? >> Cuz VRAM nowadays it's all BS.
>> By the way, I got a 4090. >> You got a 4090?
>> Yeah, those guys got screwed. I got a 4090. >> What? What do you mean you got a 4090?
Remember the presentation? >> RTX 5070. 4090 performance at 549.
>> Oh, >> that's the good. >> He's making a reference. This guy has
the best references. I didn't know that this was a surprise until I lifted the
cover up while you weren't looking. And oh my god, that is so
>> Wo. Okay, that is nice. >> That is so cool.
I did not know that this was happening. Sorry, I realize this is your gift, not
mine. I can't help but enjoy it, though. >> Yeah,
>> this is freaking awesome. It's green.
Oh, it's Brazil colors. This is so cool.
So far, you've done really well. You have all the memes, which is all that
people really care about in these videos anyway. >> Do you know how to open this one?
>> Nope. >> Uh, is there a manual? Just a sec. It must have a manual.
>> No, it doesn't. And you know why? >> Cuz it's automatic. >> No, cuz they fed it.
>> Oh, what? Oh, read the effing manual.
What the heck?
>> Ha. >> Hey, >> at least one piece. >> We got the front piece off. They are
They're just pops. Ta. >> Why were we not able to get these off?
>> Cuz we're dumb, Blus. >> No, I think it's cuz we're weak. You can
be both. >> Dude, this looks so cool. As long as you don't look too closely at it.
>> I'm wondering how. >> I thought you were Tom. >> No, I'm actually
>> Come on. >> It's a weird name. >> And don't call me Shirley.
>> Let's put your motherboard in. >> Yeah, how about that? Oh, no. We're
going to have to do something first. This is a rare case in which we have to
install the the power supply first. This cable needs to be connected. This one.
Mhm. >> Otherwise, I will not be able to jam my
hands here even if I remove this fan. >> Or we could just run the cable.
>> But you know why? Uh I didn't think of that
>> because you don't have a modular power supply. >> No one has. This is what we would call
boy. >> Bougie capitalist >> Literally that koa boy means like rich
pampered kid, >> right? Bourgeois. Bourgeoisi.
>> Yeah, pretty much >> nice. We have so much in common. Hold it
by the RAM. >> Uh, uh, yeah, sure.
>> What did I say? >> Hold it by the RAM. >> When building PCs gets tough, hold life
by the RAM. >> Keep that in, >> man. Coming from a GTX 900 series. Can't
wait to see the look on his face when he fires this up. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't bother to
install all six screws on an SFXL power
supply. But because we are going to be shipping this across the freaking world,
we're going to put every single screw we possibly can in it.
>> PP L chassis. >> You actually pronounce it pretty
Brazilian. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> That's a Brazilian way.
>> Well, we say chassis, >> right? >> Which is pretty close.
>> Cool. And we have no hair on it at all. >> Uh, you're thinking of a different kind
of Brazilian. >> Okay. What do you want to do next? >> Uh, I guess we should go for the the CPU
cooler. Let's play who almost got deported for no apparent reason.
>> Ooh. Ooh, I know. Wait, from Canada? >> Yeah. Well, yeah, that never happens.
Canada don't deport people. >> I mean, >> after telling three people why I'm in
Canada, right? >> You got to understand, man. I'm going to meet this YouTuber and this guy is going
to give me a bowler computer. >> That doesn't sound like a very likely
story, does it? >> Well, it doesn't, but it's the truth.
>> I won a prize. After I told the third guy the same story, the guy took the
paper I I got saying why I was here. He just took a Sharpie and a and sent me to
a line. At this moment, I knew, okay, I am very close to being deported. I
cannot screw this up. Your company's phone is public. >> Okay.
>> So, they could check that phone and then call it >> if they felt like it.
>> Well, they they clearly weren't feeling like it.
>> I don't think we pick up that phone number. Well, thankfully they didn't
call this dude that was either named guy or gee.
>> Well, either way he was the guy. I'm pretty sure that he knew the channel cuz
Okay, >> cuz when I told that he looked at the type of my visa and said, "Oh, that
checks out." And just said, "I don't know why you're here in this line."
>> Oh, perfect. >> And then I just >> that close.
>> Cut in. >> Does anyone at home think you're being scammed? Cuz like
>> it sounds like you're muing something. >> I told my dad that I was coming. My dad
still thinks to this day that I'm being trafficked.
>> I guess I'm a certified gamer now. >> Nice. You said that a screwdriver was
worth like a few months of minimum wage. >> Yeah. >> What is this computer worth?
>> Yeah. $800 just the GPU. So you can get
the picture. >> So this is like easily >> you could send your kids to college for
at least a year >> with this computer. Yeah. Is that your plan? >> No. My wife actually prohibited me from
selling the computer. >> Really? Your wife wants you to keep the
computer. >> Well, I will edit her videos cuz she's a
chef and she needs someone to edit stuff for her. >> Okay, so that's the deal. Sorry, kids.
No college. Mama needs her videos edited. Oh, well, this is a this is a
prototype. This is a new colorway of the commuter backpack. >> Not that one, but the
>> the OG. >> Yeah. >> Do you know how much it cost in Brazil?
>> I'm going to say you could buy a used car.
>> Let's teamwork this part. So, that is going to go on the CPU socket. Thermal
paste is pre-applied. And I have taken off the peel. This is what I love about
AIO coolers. They're just so convenient. >> Yep. >> They are definitely better for shipping
though. >> For shipping though, absolutely the
move. And convenient feature of this AIO cooler is you can rotate it so that the
logo's right way up. Perfect. Man, we're getting close.
>> Oh, this will be very convenient to maintain, huh? >> Oh, yeah. And I set up the fans to pull
in so it'll gather all the dust here and you can just, you know, I don't know if
you have pets or anything. >> Oh, I have five dogs. >> Five dogs?
>> They're all cute, man. >> I mean, I don't doubt that, but five
dogs. >> Well, at least no one will will rob me. >> Oh my goodness. That is extremely tight.
>> But it fits. I can't believe over the time we've done these ROG rig reboots,
the number of additional component categories that ASUS has gotten into so
that it's just been the all ASUS show has been wild to watch. Dude, it's
coming together. Wait, we didn't put the GPU in yet. What am I even doing? Dang
it. This card is legitimately going to be an amazing upgrade for Tom. I mean,
compared to what you're running now, a 980, which is already, you were saying,
a pretty high-end card in Brazil, >> like this could probably run at 4K what
that card could do at like 480p in terms
of frame rates. >> Even the the 980 could have more more
VRAM back then. >> I mean, that is a thing. Uh, I've seen
some really cool Brazilian modders that have been putting more VRAM on older
GPUs. >> But the reason why we're we have such good modders is that we have a very big
uh repair scene. Cuz when you can't afford more, you have to repair it,
>> right? >> Wo. >> Oh, yeah. I guess this is your first
time seeing one of these. >> Yeah. Oh, I remember that back then like
the 980 was considered like a monstrosity.
>> Oh, yeah. How big it was. huge. Imagine
if you got a person from that era and brought them here
>> and showed them a 70 class cart and it's
this big now. Not my prettiest build, but if you don't look that closely at
it. >> What do you mean? She's gorgeous. >> See? Exactly. We just got to put the
side panels on and then it'll be perfect. >> Exactly.
>> Should we find out if it works? Is this really the best way to do this? I mean,
it's your monitor. >> It's the way to do it. Okay.
>> But be careful cuz we need to hold both
sides >> together. >> You got it. Oh god.
>> Oh, it's just a stand. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's all good. It's all good. Dude, you are going to freaking
love this monitor. >> I bet. >> 1440p
360 Hz QD OLED with HDR. Have you seen
HDR before? >> Nope. >> It's one of those things that really
doesn't translate NVIDIA. You have to see it in person. Let's get all the
peripherals plugged in. We're so close. We're close.
>> Yeah. He's used to monitor stands that are made out of cardboard, so this is
like space age technology. Big moment, Tom. You should be the one to press the
button. Do it.
Well, there's a light. >> Let's go. Do we
>> What? No one plugged in the GPU.
>> This This was 100% on me. I own this one. Tom is responsible for plenty of
the shenanigans today. That was not one of them.
>> Mr. Techman himself. >> I blame Jensen.
>> How can you blame blame someone with such a cool jacket? >> He brought us fake frames and fake
DisplayPort cables. >> No fake frames. Pure frame.
>> Yay. Hey, there we go. 64 gigs RAM, CPUs
picked up, peripherals are picked up, and storage is picked up. Let's enable
expo so we get that 6,000 MHz. So, you know, we can't sue them now.
>> Oh, no. >> ASUS asked us to highlight their AI cash
boost, which they say will give you slightly better performance if you're
running local LLMs. >> Like, just this logo, the color is so
good that I'm like, I'm sold. >> Are you ready? Just a moment.
>> Come on, Microsoft. >> You realize it will take some time for
it to arrive my my home, right? >> Sorry,
>> dude. I'll use it here. I'll play some games in it. I'll be like, "Yeah, that's
my computer. It's so cool." I'll I'll like Friday, I'll be home and I'll be
playing my 10-year-old rig and I'll be like, "This this can't be happening."
>> And then it's never going to arrive cuz this whole thing was a scam.
Let's go. >> Okay, your GPU drivers are installed
now. That is 360.
>> Whoa, man.
Dude, just just like the the animation
for the UI got me flabbergasted. Let me
do something wrong here.
>> People don't shoot in people. >> Oh, >> well, you kind of had it coming.
>> Well, literally >> I think you had it coming. >> Are you convinced?
>> Yes, I am. >> This monitor, dude.
>> Look, you can see the brush strokes.
Like, what the hell, man? Yeah, I never noticed it they they were
that detailed. >> God damn it, man. Yeah,
>> you're spoiled forever. >> Yes, I am. >> This is a sick rig.
>> I am impressed. >> I'm just happy that you're going to get a ton of good use out of it.
>> I never noticed that um the intro uh
with the logo had a shine on it.
>> Okay, so are we going to see any like elite speedrunner hacks?
>> Well, speedrunners in this game are aren't as fast as other games cuz it's a
tactical shooter. Got it.
>> Whoa, >> they lined right up for you. >> Actually, that was very good. Sorry,
civilian. Uh, you have to fail the mission of saving all civilians
>> for a speedrun. Yeah, it sucks. >> Yeah, I saw you look at him and it was
very clear that he was a civvy and then you turned back and you buddy.
>> That's why we call this game Pig Simulator. >> And that's the joy that we can get from
ASUS ROG Rig Reboot. It really is a blast doing upgrades for folks like Tom.
Hope you enjoyed the build. And again, thank you for coming all the way out
here. It really was quite a trick for him. And thanks to ASUS ROG for
sponsoring this video. You guys can check out the rest of ASUS ROG rig
reboot. We've done this like 15 times now. So, we'll have a whole playlist
maybe
