Jeff from our sales team is my kind of guy he makes his bed like this but he
cable manages computer like this he buys the cheapest furniture from Ikea but
then covers it in only the finest Collectibles nice this is his light
switch and this is his lamp he cleans
his figurines like this and his floor
like this I swear I swear that wasn't for me just now so with all of that in
mind I'm sure you guys are dying to know if Jeff was given five ,000 to spend on
an Intel extreme Tech upgrade what on
Earth would he choose well Intel obviously yeah and then the rest we'll
figure out as we
go right out of the gate there's a couple of things I've noticed first of
which is that you already have have a sick gaming computer yeah it's not bad
why did you focus so much of your budget on more gaming computer I mean I really
like the anime collaborations they've been coming out with like ASUS and MSI
and I thought i' just kind of capitalize I feel like I don't know I really like
anime and I thought i' buy a bunch of their parts all right you spoiled my
second theme and that is that basically everything you
got is a computer brand collabing with
Evangelion and I'm going to reveal uh um
Evangelion by the way yeah so I don't need to reveal that I am not cultured
when it comes to anime and I have no idea what the hell Evangelion is you
have some Evangelion to show me I do okay well let's start with that not this
the special thing oh there's a special thing there's a special thing so I
should I should close my eyes I would close your eyes I would close your eyes you would close my eyes I could is a
special got special permission special permission from Colton and HR wait from
Colton and HR yeah so uh there's a thing
that people get sometimes called a daki macra or a body pillow and they
typically put like their favorite anime character on it oh God I got one of
these are you kidding me it's pretty life siiz almost the same
height and then wait Dual Purpose
bam what do you think oh my god um so m
there's that uh what does this have to do with Evangelion nothing at all I just
thought I'd really lean into the whole like weeb theme and got myself a body
pillow of my boss and my other boss cool
all right I'mma to put this actually I'm not going to put this in the bed that makes me extremely uncomfortable I'm
going to put it here well you've succeeded at throwing me off you and
Sarah officially win the game let's go what is Evangelion Evangelion is an
anime from the 1990s I mean I want to like I want to see it though oh you want
to see it yeah like do you have Evangelion I don't DVDs or like I don't
I'm not that big of a fan to have the DVDs I just watch it on Netflix
literally half of what we're building today is Evangelion themed so if I have
no idea what it is I'm going to be lost is this a fidget spinner on your
keyboard what is wrong with you you know when you're queuing for games you need
something to fiddle around with while you're waiting I mean there you go at
least you're not fiddling around with your body pillow yeah no this is the
last scene of the anime uhhuh essentially it's about this guy um his
name is singi he's one of three kids essentially that pilot these robots and
they fight each other like Godzilla style and each episode is effectively
like monster of the week okay at the end of the series they eventally ran out of
budget and so the last three episodes are just like PowerPoint presentations
of just like storyboard drawings really
yeah um but people love it like people get like really into like the theming it
has this big cult following okay yeah all right let's build a computer let's
do it I don't want to come across judgy but I do feel like I need to open this
build by warning that the best way to shop for computer hardware is not in
fact uh based on the color scheme a yeah
you've um you've gone and you've paired
uh a 12 gen K series processor with a
b660 motherboard that isn't going to allow you to do any overclocking all in
the name of that it's purple and it does
look freaking awesome look at the back too but I just can't yeah I can't in
good conscience recommend that people buy Hardware based on a cool silk screen
graphic on the back where they will never ever ever ever ever see it versus
based on features and performance and value how much did this thing cost
that's a wonderful question I actually have no idea is it evangelium themed
cart cart cart as easy as that thank you
inel the up charge on this motherboard has got to be more than the entire cost
of the table I'm building it on 100% oh my God I'm afraid to find out how much
you just paid for a b660 motherboard can't be that bad
$420 really sick you can get b660 boards
for less than 200 oh okay never mind with that said one of the things I
left out of the intro is that you know clearly buddy here doesn't mind paying
twice as much for something because of the label on it I like shoes what are
your favorite shoes shoes oh my gosh they're hidden away in storage somewhere
oh that's right this is a temporary living Arrangement by the way before you
guys judge me for how little money our sales people obviously make oh no
offense to the people whose house this is hopefully they won't watch this video
oh god well the walls could use a coat of paint that's all I'm saying I'm told
that you do painting not today okay we banned painting until extreme Tech
upgrades after Andy's house okay no you can get this board for only like 220
bucks it was just a third-party seller I think this might be EOL how long have
you been sitting on these parts probably like 6 months performance is temporary
purple is forever uh right maybe okay
all right uh Jeff's gone with 32 gigs of 5200 megat transfer per second ddr5
memory and a 12 core core i7 12 700k so
it's a weird thing where we're going premium in terms of the tier of parts
that we're using but kind of like steep down in terms of the actual performance
uh 5200 megat transfer per second that's a pretty decent kit 12700 K it's a
really good CPU but not topof the line and we've gone with a b660 motherboard
but with a sick colorway that if we
hadn't chosen we could have gotten something uh that is overclocking
capable you know what I like it it makes for a fun video hell yeah hell yeah oh
where'd you get one of those crew LT store.com we're finally shipping the
Black Shaft ones which means that we're getting close to the end of taking
orders for them if you guys want to get one of the ones with the Black Shaft
you're going to want to get an order in pretty quick get in the queue and for our SSD we'll be installing in the top
slot closest to the CPU and we've gone with a crucial P5 plus with 2 terab of
capacity oh no uh no Brandon roll I'm
rolling I got some bad news dude are you serious look at your socket do you see
that damnn this has like 10 to 15 pins that
look bent in it that's so cool out of 10 how bad do you think this is oh that's
very bad do you have a magnifying glass maybe never a dull moment let's do some
motherboard surgery I also don't have all of my best tools for something like
this I think I'm actually going to use my knife uh I could use a bit more light
though what it looks like to me is that they've been pressed down and the good
news is that's a relatively simple fix all I need to do is get under each of
these pins and lift it up just a little tiny bit without breaking it if I can do
that successfully 15 more times without making a single mistake then we're good
I believe in you this would not have made contact with the bottom of the
CPU oh oh got it man the temptation to
go fast when you've got this many of them to do is very strong patience is a
virtue hate socket surgery I want to clarify that I don't know whose fault
this is it could have come like this from the factory but it could have also happened later hopefully you'll never
have to do this but a pro tip if you ever do is use light and angles it's so
helpful when you're trying to find something that's ever so slightly misaligned compared to just trying to
look at it from one side
okayo I think we're good to go great job
well don't congratulate me yet it hasn't turned on next we'll be needing our
power supply wall art I wonder if just plate
licensed that we don't work with them anymore but apparently we still shop
there we're going to be needing our case
also Evangelion what is this is that a power supply you have two power supplies
they gave me two power supplies when I left the office why you have two Evangelion power supplies you may not be
very good with your money maybe not but hey at least we have them just in case
you should have had two motherboards just in case you had a broken motherboard oh my God how much does this
one cost this one I actually do know the cost of um at um Canada Computers I
think it was $1,700
I think for 308 yeah right it was a
different time I feel very bad for you
uh got some SI speakers this desk is nice where' this come from Ikea oh it's
RG stuff of course it is MHM cuz it's
all about the brand of course this is the aiio I was wondering where this one
was oh my God you've got an eveli and cooler it's okay though because his job
is to take other people's money not to spend it there you go yeah if you were
in like our procurement department or something though I would have some serious reservations like we need some
new workstations they come in they're all like purple and green buddy we paid
30% more for these yeah but they're purple it's purple look how cool they
are but maybe the theming they've done on this is really cool tell me about
what I'm looking at here well it's purple it's got a couple Japanese texts
on it do you read any Japanese like are you that into it no not really not at
all okay that's pretty cool another one of the mechs in the anime I'm teasing
him a lot today but the truth is don't tell them this is a pretty cool build
and it's going to look absolutely sick when we're done oh hi Jeff hi your build
is dumb okay thanks inel while I'm working on this you're going to pick
which power supply you're using today and maybe just unbox it here you got it
the packaging on that alone is probably worth more than the table we're building
this computer on yeah very easily very easily it's like the Thor 1000 watt one
it has a little display on it too and it's reded it up a little bit wait
what's going on here what's up red cables yeah you're going to put red
cables in a purple and green themed computer you don't like it do you
sure I thought the whole point was that everything's purple well this came out
in red the other one's red too yeah there's like um a white and blue one I
think but the box is purple and green no this one's purple and green and
just black oh we're going to put them to the test the test do you take the basic
650 W power supply that matches the color scheme or the balls to the wall
th000 wat power supply that's going to put red all over it I'll take the red
you'll take the I'll take the red I'll take the red aesthetic it's okay at this
point at this point we'll just so you're saying I've shamed you enough enough yes
that is the idea here I think honestly though I think that's even worse is it
because now you've made it clear that it's not even about it looking good now
it's just about the label that's about it now I'm worried that the packaging on
the graphics card is going to be a lie too and you're going to have a giant red
graphics card no oh we're good so this isn't even just an ASUS thing how'd they
bung up the power supply cuz that looks
freaking sick my biggest problem with this table is not even the quality it's
the size don't worry we're doing great today we got this man is this one
colored red I hope not oh this just
hasn't really colored anything okay cool ooh that looks pretty cool though
are you okay with the just sitting on your old oh sitting on it it's exactly
the right height to sit at this desk I actually don't know if I want to know
the answer to this question why do you need that pillow I don't really need the
pillow I thought it'd be really funny do you actually intend to keep that pillow
in the long term 100% absolutely I see
wasn't it back in the day in the old videos we had the other body pillow in the office yes I don't know what
happened to that we decided it had gotten a little too cringe and we got
rid of it no worry I thought it would uh bring back those old memories with this
one actually that's why okay what does your so think of that pillow oh she
loves it her parents though think it's super weird I'm with her parents okay I
think what we've got here is a generational G the Height's pretty close
to your Heights I mean it's definitely Colon's height look at me I'm col Potter
look at me down here do you guys like chairs subscribe to Short
Circuit that's a really good colon impression yeah does it make you
uncomfortable having Colton for a boss though one day you're going to come into the office and just he's not going to
work there anymore and you're going to have no idea what to do that's fine I have seniority so I mean I get his
office next why is this 8 Pin CPU connector long enough to run to a
completely separate computer on the other side of the room see the other
one's fine I well wao oh my God no we're
good we're good this is a good table quality I don't know if I have enough
space down here to put the PSU cables in here oh my God this power supply is the
gift that keeps on giving I feel like the Indiana Jones on the Last Crusade
Meme here like you have chosen unwisely here you have the one that fits and
matches but no Jeff no you wanted this
one you can go with the other power supply or you can rip out your hard
drive cages knowing that you're only ever going to be able to expand with 2
and 1/2 in or m.2 drives which are going to be ssds I think that's fine I think I
could probably live with that oh it's a bit of a pain in the butt to get at it
though that's okay well yeah for you I'm the one do you know what they say you
win some you Dim some right come on buddy he there you go very cool so much
room for activities now go ahead put that in there you got it there we go oh
hold on a second are you going to have this on the floor or you going to have it on the desk I probably have it on the
desk okay then flip it over like U
this oh he's working on it this one that is exactly how you had it when we
started like this there we go cuz in the display you'd want it on this side it's
made to be right side oh you want the display yeah
yeah it's all part of the aesthetic okay fine just who needs to have any actual
airf flow to the power supply fan anyway not gonna lie Jeff I'm not a huge fan of
what you've done with the cable management for the power supply here this is quite um Twisted got to keep you
on your toes yeah yeah great thank you for that a Jeff why
you got to run the HD audio like that did I a you're done up dog here it goes
man as a centerpiece for a build does that GPU work or what w it looks kind of
awesome hey the red is killing my vibe a little bit okay all right yeah that
looks good yeah yeah cover that up we
don't want we don't want the people looking at this here no no I'll show them I'll show them ow my fingers in
there so sorry I mean okay don't look that closely it's
bad gb's to close this up so I'm not going to but theoretically we are
finished the computer build which means it's time to start setting up the desk
you screwed up what what do you mean Nicole has has a more anime monitor than
you that's right oh my God she has like the Gundam one doesn't she what is this
crap I mean I got this from the Christmas party last year so I thought
I'm going to save a little bit of money let's put it
towards I'm going save money on unnecessary anime crap and I'm going
spend it on unnecessary anime crap you bought that pillow how much was that
pillow from what Matt told me like 150 bucks
us yeah know I'm serious did you actually use your budget on that uh col
said you don't have to what yeah that's what he told me he's
like yeah don't worry about it it's funny for the video
what that's part of the budget no I'm
repoing some stuff oh my goodness I want this you can have it I want this that's
fine if it didn't come from his Intel budget then I paid for it who does
Colton think he is hell is this Colton Potter hey man how you doing got you on
speaker Jeff informed me that the body pillow apparently did not count towards
his Intel budget because and I quote Colton said it would be funny for the
video did I buy that $150 pillow yeah
dude how funny was it did you chuckle you piece of
sh unbelievable thank you for the pillow
oh yeah you're you're welcome I guess I wasn't going to question your choice of
speakers these mackys are super nice you're going to hate this oh my God an
orange orange no oh we had a good thing going on with all
purple and green and then a Seuss done bunged it up with red and then they done
bunged it up again with orange is that an eve Mouse p as well yeah it is it is
what yeah wow this is coming together I'm liking it and you know what the
fidget Spinner's grown on me here yeah it's got a nice bearing in it fidgeting
this is really efficient fidgeting do you watch a lot of like TV shows and
movies on your computer why did you go with these like sick speakers I asked
Matt what would be good speakers and he recommended these ones and they don't
match anything not at all no if you're down for quick and dirty Cable
Management I actually really like the approach that this desk from Ikea takes
basically you just got this like pouch
at the bottom and you just Jam everything into it and then there's this
slid along the top so things can either come around the back or they can come up
through the desk a little bit closer makes it a lot easier to keep things
tidy on the top can we fire this up let's do it Moment of Truth let's
go oh no did you plug in the power supply at all yeah yeah is the switch
off yeah and the switch is off
okay okay oh no what did you do Jeff what do you mean oh my God Jeff well I
see at least one power connector that's not plugged into anything in here that's
so cool than thank you so much oh here's another one ah yes happy little
accidents right you're trying to stress me out here man okay oh that's a good
sign 3 two 1 let's go yes let's go and
it's purple okay that looks so good
hello do you happen to know where the antennas are for the motherboard by chance antennas you say yes uh it has
Wi-Fi built into it and I have no Ethernet in this room you have no
Ethernet and you didn't think to solve that with an Intel extreme Tech upgrade
I'm disappointed Jeff's Wi-Fi is broken I wasn't able to connect to it earlier
on my phone but I didn't really think too much of it and now we can't connect
to it on the computer looks like we're going on a side quest let's do it wait
this is a as far as we're going that's your Wi-Fi access point yeah that's the
one so because of how old the house is and how like thick the foundation is
Wi-Fi doesn't really travel between the floors and so the best way to do it is
like Wi-Fi repeater mesh Network kind of dealio this isn't even power line this
is just a repeater oh did you not watch
Nicole's extreme check update she has a better monitor than you and she has a
better solution to getting Wi-Fi to the upstairs than you yeah if your Wi-Fi
reception is bad for your device your Wi-Fi reception for your repeater is bad
but this was working before yeah yeah yeah the first thing we can do then is
just try unplugging it and plugging it back in I'll do that you you stay there
all right I don't think I can trust you to configure the Wi-Fi okay all righty
should I restart the computer at all do I just stand look PR pretty hey guys
welcome to ShortCircuit my name is Cole and Potter we're going to be unboxing
this chair the Razer iser oh man look at
the look at the Lomar support look how far goes hey get her
done get her done is totally his catch
break wait using Wi-Fi for the setup wasn't an option at all because your
drivers weren't detected oh are we going
to have to drag this whole thing downstairs go through the setup process
and then bring it back up we're in the living room now getting through the
Windows 11 Setup Wizard yes I'm sure there's a workaround yes I could have
looked that up but this was probably faster let's go here we go we got this
no problem that's a good sign that's a really good sign since we're here anyway
I guess we could show off the next part of the extreme Tech upgrade the a80 J 65
in OLED TV that is going to be replacing this fine other different TV yeah it
could be better I would ask why Jeff went OLED but I already know the answer
vibrant colors perfect blacks near instantaneous pixel response times and I
would ask why he went so Sony but I already know the answer oh watch out
with a oh wow there's a fan up there Sony uses Android TV which is great cuz
you can install Android apps uh their processors could be a little bit faster
though and the other benefit of Sony is they have excellent oh wow there's some
stuff going on here excellent image processing and what's super cool is this
is one of their TVs that have what they call acoustic surface Audio Plus which
basically means the entire front surface of the TV vibrates m and it can either
be Standalone or a center channel speaker in a surround setup which is
really cool sick and we're on the Wi-Fi let's go let's go you're going to take
this back upstairs now that it has an internet connection and I am going to
try to get this TV removed from this wall okay we got a plan sounds good
teamwork mix the Dream Work May oh did I
just break that yeah you did uh-oh what is it it's okay it just a keychain oh
it's a keychain oh oh it's no no these pieces
are just glued together in the first place anyway okay Jeff I'm tasking you
with something for your in-laws here uh get some wood glue put this on here put
it in a vise and then it'll actually be as good as new thank you very much put
that there appreciate it let's pull this out oh this one's
this is not secured have fun okay oh no
I mean that means it's going to be fast to remove actually Jeff don't go anywhere a 1 2 3 lift that was it that
was the whole thing W oh my God that was so hard I sincerely hope that the hard
we on this TV will work perfectly with
the new TV with no modifications whatsoever I sincerely hope it I don't
believe it but I hope it yes we're good this is going to go
straight on easy peasy oh I love it
you're good is it on I think so how sure are you uh very what do you mean you
think so you can't think so it is on you're good take a look see okay all
right let's go woo your Wi-Fi is really
slow dude we're getting steam installed but in the meantime what's the deal with
this shelf I kind of just had a shelf available and sticky some stuff on here but I didn't really know where to put it
that's as far as I got wow yeah are you
going to put a Shelf with command strips yeah wait what well nothing heavy on it
you know I was probably going to put like I don't know like a figure or two
on there it's not going to be anything heavy I wouldn't put any valuable figures on it no not really it's it's
okay yeah don't wor don't worry about that I think it looks pretty good I
think you're good put it on there so right there yes please okay cuz this
one's permanent we ran out of magnets this one's got a command strip on it
which theoretically you know is easy on the wall but in practice is steam
finally installed on this thing yes all right let's get signed in let's run some
games what was your old machine spec again 1070 oh used I did a video on LTT
like months ago talking about how I got it used for like 300 bucks I think
something like that Canadian so this was a big upgrade for you yeah just a little
bit okay what's a game you couldn't play before for then uh cyber Punk for sure
we got your desk all set up and your bed is
um well in some ways it's better yeah it's better in other ways it's gotten a
lot worse I don't know what's weirder me sitting here next to it or him sitting
next to it let's freaking go oh I am
you're wow you're really good at games Jeff I Tred my best how's it running
very very very fast oh Ultra
okay yeah we're doing all right this looks so good can I people yeah almost
definitely wow I mean that's not who you're supposed to fight oh my God come
they'll come to me crime reported come to me so you're just going to fight the entire police force yes see this is this
a an unofficial survival mode I like to hope so yes and we've unofficially
survived yet another Intel extreme Tech upgrade hope you guys enjoyed getting to
know Jeff from the sales team and I hope what you didn't take away from this is
any guidelines for how to manage your
finances thanks Intel thank you Intel as
always Intel delivers an amazing gaming experience even if you bought your CPU 6
months ago you guys can check them out at the link in the video description
you're going down man going down they got the me it's okay they're coming
after you with a Mech see you know you're putting that bad energy out there if you were to able to support me you
know Pat me on the back a little bit maybe I would have lived but you know it is what it is there there
