00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.200
Have you heard of the term gambiara?

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.360
>> Gambia? >> Okay. Well, I hadn't, but as it turns

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:13.360
out, I'm really good at it. It means taking mostly junk and turning into

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.080
something that's kind of usable. And it's a talent that I share with Tom from

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:22.080
Brazil. >> Whether it's his cardboard monitor stand

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:26.960
or his drawing table, Tom's ability to innovate with garbage is truly peak

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.880
cinema. And when we saw him rocking a gaming system that is older than one of

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.079
my children, we knew that we had to step in. There's just one problem. After we

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:37.840
finish his upgrade, we're going to have to ship all of this back to Brazil,

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.719
which means we're going to need to pack a lot of performance into not a lot of

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:46.960
space. Thankfully, Asus ROG, who sponsored this video, provided us some

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:52.239
mini ITX parts to hopefully make our job a little easier. Although, I do get the

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.360
feeling there may be some Gambia Gambia

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.360
Gambia, some jank involved. Roll the

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:58.360
intro.

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:10.960
>> I just noticed your glasses. >> I have a 2-year-old. He threw my glasses

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.119
to five dogs right before I embarked. >> And of course, that's how you repaired

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.600
them. >> Gambia, man. >> Tell me three things that I don't know

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.840
about Brazil. >> It snows. Gary Baldi is from there.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:27.200
>> Okay. So, he was like a white guy who went there and like imperialed. No,

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.479
actually he tried to install a republic.

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.439
>> Oh, so he was chill. >> Yeah. Oh, we actually have the richest

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.000
filmmaker in the world, Bales. He owns a bank, by the way.

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.240
>> I thought you were going to tell me that to buy hardware like this down in Brazil

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:45.119
would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of two to 3x what it would cost in

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.119
somewhere like the US. >> Two and a half times due to import

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:52.960
tariffs. So tell me, as someone who lives somewhere with very high import

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.159
tariffs, do you feel that they are a good thing for the consumer?

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:02.159
>> No, not at all. >> But you found a loophole. Send a

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.000
lowquality video to LMG.

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.960
>> Get a free computer. I assume you've built your fair share of computers.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.479
>> I work with that. >> Okay. So I won't have to instruct you on

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:15.680
anything. Okay. Where are you going to start? >> Usually >> with duct tape.

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:21.840
>> No, usually I would be careful. I would uh connect this to uh power

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:22.800
>> really ground myself so I wouldn't fry

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:27.360
my stuff. >> This will be the first ever ROG rig

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.000
reboot that's done carefully. I feel like you're a skilled enough workman

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:33.680
that you could have done a better job though. >> I could have had no time.

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.319
>> I thought he had the new meta ray bands. >> Do anything about me looks looks like

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:41.280
I'm smart. >> You've created contraptions that I could only dream of. Frankly,

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:46.000
>> can you please give it to me? >> No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is all

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:52.319
yours. Starting, of course, with our ROG Loki 850 W 80 Plus platinum power

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.319
supply. This is a very small 850 W power

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.160
supply. And it still has a modular interface and a 120 mm cooling fan.

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.319
>> And according to most reviews, it's very good. >> Not all reviews. Some reviews say it's

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.560
bad. >> Well, it's A, not S on the in a tier list. I just passively knew that cuz I

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:13.120
really love tech. >> You knew the tier of this specific SFXL

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:15.920
power supply. Okay, I got to plug this in first. Give me a hand. Don't fry my

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.760
stuff, please. >> Nice. Give it your blessing. >> Wow, this is going to be so little work

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:28.480
today. Well, I mean, you forgot the most important part. Oh, >> this is the ROG Stricks B850i

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.799
gaming Wi-Fi. Basically, we chose it cuz it's the ITX1, and we need this system

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.319
to be really small. Is the plan to hand carry it on the flight with you?

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.200
>> If I had the money to pay the customs back at home, but I don't. So, yeah,

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.480
you're going to ship it. >> I just assumed we'd ask him to smuggle it. Caution. You know what I do with

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.120
caution? >> Oh my god. >> You know what I do with caution?

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:54.560
>> That we just watched what you do with caution. Throw it to the wind.

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.440
>> Exactly. I throw it at the wind

00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.080
>> in your face. >> Yeah. >> You sure you're going to give me this?

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.439
>> Yeah. >> You realize how much this cost? >> In Brazil, this would be over $1,000.

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:09.120
>> Or a kidney. >> We went with the 9800 X3D. This offers a

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:13.840
great mix of allaround productivity performance and of course peak gaming

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:19.280
performance thanks to its 3D vcache. Have you ever installed an AM5 chip?

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:23.680
>> Actually, no. None of my clients had the money to buy one of those.

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:26.000
>> Oh god, no. No, I'm actually serious this time. Do not close that.

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:32.000
>> No. Oh yeah, >> there we go. That could have been disastrous because Tom has watched

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.320
enough of these ROG rig reboots that he knows I often say that when I don't mean

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:42.320
it, but he literally did not have it in the right spot. >> The reason why I did it wrong was cuz I

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:46.720
was waiting for you to do that and I was nervous. >> So, you actually did it wrong. So, I

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:53.520
actually had to panic stop you >> and you actually yelled at my face.

00:04:51.040 --> 00:05:00.960
>> Can you give me the run, please? We went with 64 gigs of Manta DDR5 from Vcolor.

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.320
Uh DDR5 6000 CL30. So that's a pretty

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:06.000
decent little DDR5. >> Did it advertise that I have to turn on

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:10.160
uh something under my bias? >> Let's have a look. Let's see if it says

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:15.759
up to high performance overclocking enabled. Lifetime limited warranty. No.

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:20.320
>> So they owe me money. I actually brought this up cuz I this is important to talk

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:26.000
about. Basically, there was a class action against Corsair that they settled

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:30.960
and agreed to pay over $5 million to people who claimed that because it says

00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:34.800
DDR56000, but you have to change a setting in your BIOS in order to enable

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:39.680
that, they're entitled to compensation. I strongly disagree and I would disagree

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:44.800
when it came to VCOL as well. >> We love consumer rights. We are

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.039
consumers, but this ain't it, Chief.

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:51.280
Yeah, Brazil actually has pretty strong consumer protections, don't they?

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:57.919
>> Of course, we have Procon, which is our institution that is focused on basically

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:01.680
lowering up and if a company screws with you, they will screw with the company.

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:05.520
>> Procon went after Nintendo recently or something, right? Yeah. I love that

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:09.600
Brazil was one of the only places that had the stones to go after Nintendo for

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.360
that absolute Nintendo, >> they look good.

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:15.360
>> Yeah, these are super cool. DDR5 is a little tricky to line up. Yeah, you got

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.120
it wrong. >> Yeah, I did. Well, again,

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.520
>> I I get it. DDR3 is like, you know, not that outdated.

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:28.800
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I used the DR4. I was actually one of the first

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:31.360
people to buy Skylake, which was a bad decision.

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:37.919
>> I mean, it's held out pretty well. >> It works. It is good for the era but I

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:42.479
could have went with AM4 and I could be

00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:44.880
using some of those uh 5500X

00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:49.360
3D that they are launching only in South America.

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:52.240
>> Yeah. So because companies like AMD will

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:57.280
have specific SKUs for that market to bring the pricing down enough that even

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:59.199
after the tariffs someone hopefully can

00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:02.800
afford it. when people from other countries uh learn about those, there

00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:07.120
are people that just outright say, "Oh, they're bad." Yeah, no We know

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:11.120
it's bad, but it's what we can pay. >> Honestly, I think that's actually the

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.360
reason that Intel relaunched the 10400. It's probably meant to be

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:18.960
>> to dupe Brazilians. Sorry, I'm very salty about that.

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:22.319
>> I didn't say it. >> I did. >> No, I feel like we should get you a

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:26.240
screwdriver. >> Do you know how much a screwdriver like

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.800
those uh costs in Brazil? >> $800. How much?

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.560
>> Uh, more like 12. >> $12.

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:38.720
>> 100. >> Oh, what? What? No, that can't. What? Why?

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:42.160
>> With shipping, uh, taxes, and the actual

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.400
price of the product, about three times

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:47.759
uh, a month of the minimum wage. >> Yeah. >> So, what you're saying is that you want

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.680
two. >> Well, if if you gave me two, not going

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:54.000
to lie, I was going to sell one and actually use it to buy stuff for my

00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:02.639
children. >> Let's go get him a screwdriver or two. Welcome to Creator Warehouse, where

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:05.199
dreams come alive. It's Nate. He's the

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:10.080
only one here. And the one who is least likely to be able to stop us from taking

00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:14.240
a screwdriver. Yes. This one seems about your speed.

00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:17.520
Gambia. No, no, I'm kidding. I'll give you a working one.

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.360
>> What happened to the ratchet mechanism to that of that one?

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:26.160
>> We were learning things. I think I have found something. This This is one of our

00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:30.319
old black shafts from when we first launched the screwdriver.

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:36.959
>> This is one of our prototype clear plastic handles with the old plastic

00:08:32.479 --> 00:08:38.240
that is not durable and totally sucks.

00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:43.599
>> Functional. >> Yeah. >> This is a completely different color

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.839
from what we ended up using for the actual clear screwdriver.

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:51.040
>> Yes. >> And I just put a random black end cap on it. By taking this, I'm practically

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.320
doing some >> garbage collection. >> I would say industrial espionage.

00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:00.720
>> Oh, definitely not that. This just felt appropriate. Unique one of one item. And

00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.680
you can also have a regular one. Would you like a Noctua edition? Retro

00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:07.040
edition. >> Retro. Retro. Retro. >> All right. Sold.

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:11.680
>> Oh jeez. >> What? >> There's a little spring in there. Damn it, Tom. The spring's not supposed to be

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:17.440
there. It's not. >> News flash. Canadian YouTuber takes

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:20.880
spring from poor Brazilian guy. Oh, stop.

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:22.720
>> I can add an SSD. >> 4 TB.

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:27.120
>> 4 TB. Wow. >> We gave him a 4 TB. Yeah. >> Thought he deserved it.

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.519
>> I can store so much Gambia in this bad boy.

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:34.480
>> Don't hit it. >> I did not hit it. >> And if you do hit it, don't quit it.

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:37.519
>> I did not hit her. >> So much peeling.

00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:40.640
>> Have you installed an M.2 before? >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. So,

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:46.080
>> my computer actually has one. Those are cheap enough. >> No, they're not. But back in the day, uh

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.240
the M.2s would go over here. >> Yeah. Yeah. On the back.

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:51.279
>> Well, this one has one. >> If I'm not mistaken, the back one is

00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:58.000
slower. >> No, this is Gen 5. >> Yeah, >> the back one's the fast one.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:02.800
>> Wo. Good. I guess >> they're both Gen 5.

00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:03.440
>> Wo. For it to have two Gen 5 slots, it's

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:07.920
not common. >> Yeah, I was surprised. >> Yeah. >> Very cool. So, do you want it on the

00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:13.440
back or the front? >> Uh, put it in the front. I guess this is

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:16.160
pretty secured. Uh, other than that, I

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:20.240
don't think we have Hey, that's my peel. Canadian guy steals

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.480
peel. >> Billionaire YouTuber steals little guys

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:28.399
peel. >> Just a second. Something got in my eye.

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:32.560
>> Yeah, I'm feeling pretty emotional, too. I just I love giving people into my eye.

00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:36.480
>> I love giving disadvantaged people computers.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.000
>> Well, you are actually doing that. But okay. Is there something else that I

00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:43.760
need to do in this board right now? >> Kind of like rub it for good luck.

00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:46.160
>> Okay, then we're all set cuz I would not rub it. I will rub this one again.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:51.839
>> Yes, >> I guess we'll do the case. Magic cube.

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:55.519
>> Well, I mean, only if you dare. >> Yeah, I don't do drugs.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.200
>> Okay, no one's going to get that reference. I can't open this.

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:04.720
>> No, that doesn't. >> No, that's magic eightball.

00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.880
>> No one will get that one. >> No people know what magic eightballs

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:13.920
are. >> Yeah, old people. This is the best game ever.

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:20.880
Do you do you can you solve it? >> Nope. Well, I can solve it. Oh, hey,

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:23.839
look. No, I can't. Sh. Shh. Shh. Don't

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:27.760
make fun of Latinos. Okay. Oh, I solve it.

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:32.000
>> Great job. But don't make fun of Latinos. How can I not when they bring a

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:36.880
GPU that looks like this? >> Do Do you have an RTX 190?

00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:41.279
>> I don't. Well, I mean, I do now, I guess. >> Oh, come on. Throw me a bone here. I

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.440
actually chiplet. >> So cool.

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:51.760
>> Why is all your VRAMm BS? >> Cuz VRAM nowadays it's all BS.

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.800
>> By the way, I got a 4090. >> You got a 4090?

00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:58.880
>> Yeah, those guys got screwed. I got a 4090. >> What? What do you mean you got a 4090?

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:05.200
Remember the presentation? >> RTX 5070. 4090 performance at 549.

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.760
>> Oh, >> that's the good. >> He's making a reference. This guy has

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:14.800
the best references. I didn't know that this was a surprise until I lifted the

00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:19.040
cover up while you weren't looking. And oh my god, that is so

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:23.760
>> Wo. Okay, that is nice. >> That is so cool.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:28.560
I did not know that this was happening. Sorry, I realize this is your gift, not

00:12:25.839 --> 00:12:32.320
mine. I can't help but enjoy it, though. >> Yeah,

00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:35.519
>> this is freaking awesome. It's green.

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.959
Oh, it's Brazil colors. This is so cool.

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:40.160
So far, you've done really well. You have all the memes, which is all that

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:42.959
people really care about in these videos anyway. >> Do you know how to open this one?

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.160
>> Nope. >> Uh, is there a manual? Just a sec. It must have a manual.

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:56.160
>> No, it doesn't. And you know why? >> Cuz it's automatic. >> No, cuz they fed it.

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:59.440
>> Oh, what? Oh, read the effing manual.

00:12:56.160 --> 00:13:00.320
What the heck?

00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:06.480
>> Ha. >> Hey, >> at least one piece. >> We got the front piece off. They are

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:09.519
They're just pops. Ta. >> Why were we not able to get these off?

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:12.000
>> Cuz we're dumb, Blus. >> No, I think it's cuz we're weak. You can

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.880
be both. >> Dude, this looks so cool. As long as you don't look too closely at it.

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.000
>> I'm wondering how. >> I thought you were Tom. >> No, I'm actually

00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:23.519
>> Come on. >> It's a weird name. >> And don't call me Shirley.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:28.320
>> Let's put your motherboard in. >> Yeah, how about that? Oh, no. We're

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:33.279
going to have to do something first. This is a rare case in which we have to

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.440
install the the power supply first. This cable needs to be connected. This one.

00:13:34.959 --> 00:13:40.240
Mhm. >> Otherwise, I will not be able to jam my

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:44.399
hands here even if I remove this fan. >> Or we could just run the cable.

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.320
>> But you know why? Uh I didn't think of that

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:51.279
>> because you don't have a modular power supply. >> No one has. This is what we would call

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:58.240
boy. >> Bougie capitalist >> Literally that koa boy means like rich

00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.040
pampered kid, >> right? Bourgeois. Bourgeoisi.

00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:05.760
>> Yeah, pretty much >> nice. We have so much in common. Hold it

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:09.040
by the RAM. >> Uh, uh, yeah, sure.

00:14:08.079 --> 00:14:15.279
>> What did I say? >> Hold it by the RAM. >> When building PCs gets tough, hold life

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:21.040
by the RAM. >> Keep that in, >> man. Coming from a GTX 900 series. Can't

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:26.800
wait to see the look on his face when he fires this up. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't bother to

00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:29.279
install all six screws on an SFXL power

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:34.800
supply. But because we are going to be shipping this across the freaking world,

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:38.560
we're going to put every single screw we possibly can in it.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.199
>> PP L chassis. >> You actually pronounce it pretty

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.040
Brazilian. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> That's a Brazilian way.

00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:49.680
>> Well, we say chassis, >> right? >> Which is pretty close.

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.920
>> Cool. And we have no hair on it at all. >> Uh, you're thinking of a different kind

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:57.760
of Brazilian. >> Okay. What do you want to do next? >> Uh, I guess we should go for the the CPU

00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:02.480
cooler. Let's play who almost got deported for no apparent reason.

00:14:59.920 --> 00:15:06.560
>> Ooh. Ooh, I know. Wait, from Canada? >> Yeah. Well, yeah, that never happens.

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:10.240
Canada don't deport people. >> I mean, >> after telling three people why I'm in

00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:16.560
Canada, right? >> You got to understand, man. I'm going to meet this YouTuber and this guy is going

00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:19.279
to give me a bowler computer. >> That doesn't sound like a very likely

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.160
story, does it? >> Well, it doesn't, but it's the truth.

00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:29.040
>> I won a prize. After I told the third guy the same story, the guy took the

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:34.560
paper I I got saying why I was here. He just took a Sharpie and a and sent me to

00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:38.320
a line. At this moment, I knew, okay, I am very close to being deported. I

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:41.680
cannot screw this up. Your company's phone is public. >> Okay.

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:46.320
>> So, they could check that phone and then call it >> if they felt like it.

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.160
>> Well, they they clearly weren't feeling like it.

00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:53.199
>> I don't think we pick up that phone number. Well, thankfully they didn't

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:56.000
call this dude that was either named guy or gee.

00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.560
>> Well, either way he was the guy. I'm pretty sure that he knew the channel cuz

00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:04.959
Okay, >> cuz when I told that he looked at the type of my visa and said, "Oh, that

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:07.519
checks out." And just said, "I don't know why you're here in this line."

00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:10.320
>> Oh, perfect. >> And then I just >> that close.

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.279
>> Cut in. >> Does anyone at home think you're being scammed? Cuz like

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:19.680
>> it sounds like you're muing something. >> I told my dad that I was coming. My dad

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.680
still thinks to this day that I'm being trafficked.

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:28.320
>> I guess I'm a certified gamer now. >> Nice. You said that a screwdriver was

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:34.399
worth like a few months of minimum wage. >> Yeah. >> What is this computer worth?

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:35.040
>> Yeah. $800 just the GPU. So you can get

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:39.360
the picture. >> So this is like easily >> you could send your kids to college for

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:44.959
at least a year >> with this computer. Yeah. Is that your plan? >> No. My wife actually prohibited me from

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:48.399
selling the computer. >> Really? Your wife wants you to keep the

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:53.120
computer. >> Well, I will edit her videos cuz she's a

00:16:50.800 --> 00:16:57.839
chef and she needs someone to edit stuff for her. >> Okay, so that's the deal. Sorry, kids.

00:16:56.079 --> 00:17:01.519
No college. Mama needs her videos edited. Oh, well, this is a this is a

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.959
prototype. This is a new colorway of the commuter backpack. >> Not that one, but the

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:09.360
>> the OG. >> Yeah. >> Do you know how much it cost in Brazil?

00:17:07.360 --> 00:17:14.640
>> I'm going to say you could buy a used car.

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.919
>> Let's teamwork this part. So, that is going to go on the CPU socket. Thermal

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:21.760
paste is pre-applied. And I have taken off the peel. This is what I love about

00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:24.880
AIO coolers. They're just so convenient. >> Yep. >> They are definitely better for shipping

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.600
though. >> For shipping though, absolutely the

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:33.679
move. And convenient feature of this AIO cooler is you can rotate it so that the

00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:36.720
logo's right way up. Perfect. Man, we're getting close.

00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:41.679
>> Oh, this will be very convenient to maintain, huh? >> Oh, yeah. And I set up the fans to pull

00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:44.559
in so it'll gather all the dust here and you can just, you know, I don't know if

00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:48.320
you have pets or anything. >> Oh, I have five dogs. >> Five dogs?

00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:50.880
>> They're all cute, man. >> I mean, I don't doubt that, but five

00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:59.200
dogs. >> Well, at least no one will will rob me. >> Oh my goodness. That is extremely tight.

00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:02.960
>> But it fits. I can't believe over the time we've done these ROG rig reboots,

00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:06.960
the number of additional component categories that ASUS has gotten into so

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:12.160
that it's just been the all ASUS show has been wild to watch. Dude, it's

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:17.120
coming together. Wait, we didn't put the GPU in yet. What am I even doing? Dang

00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:20.960
it. This card is legitimately going to be an amazing upgrade for Tom. I mean,

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:25.919
compared to what you're running now, a 980, which is already, you were saying,

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:31.679
a pretty high-end card in Brazil, >> like this could probably run at 4K what

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:33.200
that card could do at like 480p in terms

00:18:31.679 --> 00:18:38.240
of frame rates. >> Even the the 980 could have more more

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:43.200
VRAM back then. >> I mean, that is a thing. Uh, I've seen

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:46.080
some really cool Brazilian modders that have been putting more VRAM on older

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:53.679
GPUs. >> But the reason why we're we have such good modders is that we have a very big

00:18:51.760 --> 00:18:57.120
uh repair scene. Cuz when you can't afford more, you have to repair it,

00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.960
>> right? >> Wo. >> Oh, yeah. I guess this is your first

00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:06.320
time seeing one of these. >> Yeah. Oh, I remember that back then like

00:19:03.760 --> 00:19:10.559
the 980 was considered like a monstrosity.

00:19:07.360 --> 00:19:13.440
>> Oh, yeah. How big it was. huge. Imagine

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:17.840
if you got a person from that era and brought them here

00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:20.080
>> and showed them a 70 class cart and it's

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:22.000
this big now. Not my prettiest build, but if you don't look that closely at

00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:28.160
it. >> What do you mean? She's gorgeous. >> See? Exactly. We just got to put the

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:31.039
side panels on and then it'll be perfect. >> Exactly.

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:33.520
>> Should we find out if it works? Is this really the best way to do this? I mean,

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:39.039
it's your monitor. >> It's the way to do it. Okay.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.760
>> But be careful cuz we need to hold both

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:44.400
sides >> together. >> You got it. Oh god.

00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:49.200
>> Oh, it's just a stand. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's all good. It's all good. Dude, you are going to freaking

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:57.039
love this monitor. >> I bet. >> 1440p

00:19:51.679 --> 00:19:58.160
360 Hz QD OLED with HDR. Have you seen

00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:04.000
HDR before? >> Nope. >> It's one of those things that really

00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:07.919
doesn't translate NVIDIA. You have to see it in person. Let's get all the

00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:11.760
peripherals plugged in. We're so close. We're close.

00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:15.919
>> Yeah. He's used to monitor stands that are made out of cardboard, so this is

00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:20.640
like space age technology. Big moment, Tom. You should be the one to press the

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.760
button. Do it.

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:26.720
Well, there's a light. >> Let's go. Do we

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:31.200
>> What? No one plugged in the GPU.

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:36.799
>> This This was 100% on me. I own this one. Tom is responsible for plenty of

00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:39.039
the shenanigans today. That was not one of them.

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:42.000
>> Mr. Techman himself. >> I blame Jensen.

00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:46.240
>> How can you blame blame someone with such a cool jacket? >> He brought us fake frames and fake

00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:50.559
DisplayPort cables. >> No fake frames. Pure frame.

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:55.280
>> Yay. Hey, there we go. 64 gigs RAM, CPUs

00:20:53.600 --> 00:20:59.919
picked up, peripherals are picked up, and storage is picked up. Let's enable

00:20:57.280 --> 00:21:03.280
expo so we get that 6,000 MHz. So, you know, we can't sue them now.

00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:07.200
>> Oh, no. >> ASUS asked us to highlight their AI cash

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:11.440
boost, which they say will give you slightly better performance if you're

00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:15.760
running local LLMs. >> Like, just this logo, the color is so

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:21.280
good that I'm like, I'm sold. >> Are you ready? Just a moment.

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.520
>> Come on, Microsoft. >> You realize it will take some time for

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.799
it to arrive my my home, right? >> Sorry,

00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:34.640
>> dude. I'll use it here. I'll play some games in it. I'll be like, "Yeah, that's

00:21:31.919 --> 00:21:38.159
my computer. It's so cool." I'll I'll like Friday, I'll be home and I'll be

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:42.400
playing my 10-year-old rig and I'll be like, "This this can't be happening."

00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:46.720
>> And then it's never going to arrive cuz this whole thing was a scam.

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:52.880
Let's go. >> Okay, your GPU drivers are installed

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:56.159
now. That is 360.

00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:59.360
>> Whoa, man.

00:21:56.159 --> 00:22:03.120
Dude, just just like the the animation

00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:06.640
for the UI got me flabbergasted. Let me

00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:08.400
do something wrong here.

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.919
>> People don't shoot in people. >> Oh, >> well, you kind of had it coming.

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.600
>> Well, literally >> I think you had it coming. >> Are you convinced?

00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:22.159
>> Yes, I am. >> This monitor, dude.

00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:24.960
>> Look, you can see the brush strokes.

00:22:22.159 --> 00:22:29.360
Like, what the hell, man? Yeah, I never noticed it they they were

00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:32.640
that detailed. >> God damn it, man. Yeah,

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:36.320
>> you're spoiled forever. >> Yes, I am. >> This is a sick rig.

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:42.720
>> I am impressed. >> I'm just happy that you're going to get a ton of good use out of it.

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:45.919
>> I never noticed that um the intro uh

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:47.600
with the logo had a shine on it.

00:22:45.919 --> 00:22:50.400
>> Okay, so are we going to see any like elite speedrunner hacks?

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:56.400
>> Well, speedrunners in this game are aren't as fast as other games cuz it's a

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.840
tactical shooter. Got it.

00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:05.520
>> Whoa, >> they lined right up for you. >> Actually, that was very good. Sorry,
