it's time for rog rig reboot so
many challengers approached only three were successful and this
is one of them charlie say hi hi hi
internet hi mom hi dad no no your dad's
over there so uh charlie hails to us from where you're from man of florida oh
oh wow so you were right in the heart of it
yeah so you have power to go plug this into right well we have power it's not
wi-fi yet wow all right well that's pretty lucky man well everybody you know
safe and cool yes rock on glad to hear that okay so today we're gonna be
building a rocking machine have you ever built a computer before no no this is
your first time yeah well today that changes
welcome to the party let's get started
the ASUS rog strix 1080 ti comes with ASUS GPU tweak 2 which allows you to
monitor performance and helps you stream
it also features their game booster as well as a free one-year premium license
of xsplit gamecaster learn more at the link in the video description
so what do you want to start with motherboard good choice
so even though you've never built a computer before have you watched a build guide yeah i've watched a lot of them a
lot of them all Linus tech tips guides right no
have you at least watched elina's tech tips guide yeah you don't want to make
very many of them oh wow
so that's the kind of video we're making all right shots fired
shots hit the target let's all just wipe up our tears and
continue holy crap Corsair
there we go your system at home
you were the one with the laptop right yeah the super ball and laptop that's
great for gaming no no not so much hey
my computer is an hp laptop it's uh my little laptop
and then right next to it i got my little 25 mouse i don't actually know
what brand my mouse is i kind of got it because it wasn't really expensive pretty much
not really it had like a pentium core with hd Intel integrated graphics and
tell me something hd Intel graphics how high definition are they 720p is
good yeah that's what they'd like you to think
okay have you ever installed a CPU before no all right even touched one
okay so here not yet okay you can touch it no just kidding
okay you can touch it not all right so you want to line that up real carefully
there's no force required so all you got to do
there you go that was it let's push down down lower the ARM down
you have officially installed the CPU yeah
okay have you done RAM before i mean i took RAM out of like a old computer
fantastic all right let's do it why am i even here
because i don't know everything i memorized how to do the motherboard and
that's pretty much where it is so
tell me then charlie what was your plan if somebody ever did give you a
computer's worth of parts you were just going to assemble the motherboard and kind of
i just go on youtube and watch a guide and build it with that we've got all the
answer kids today man so tell me something charlie what's
going to be the first thing you do when this system arrives at home
i messed with the RGB and then i'm going to go to the steam store
and buy a game's really good graphics so that i can see those
this one's really good
for the sake of thoroughness we could pull the board out we could
relocate this standoff and we could put it there feels like too much work
wait stop we missed something really important oh no
you didn't do the satisfying plastic peel off the RAM enjoy this you only get
to do it once oh yes look how shiny it is now we also
have to figure out where our hard drive is gonna go because
this hard drive cage can you say it was gonna go up here
i did say that but uh let me tell you something about adults
charlie sometimes well they don't lie
but they say things without having really thought them through are kids
your age allowed to use knives yeah yeah okay which i i don't know mine are like
five and three so understandable
all right now leave these fans because
i have something better RGB fans
it's gonna be lit that's what the kids say right yeah
when that RGB lighting is giving you an extra 15 frames per second you'll thank
me i'll tell you man it is so easy to build
a computer these days and like have it look awesome compared
to a thousand years ago i can imagine it was hard a thousand years ago to build a
computer you sure your name is charlie yeah you
sure it's not alec oh i'm gonna confess something to you
charlie you missed her i
know so how come you picked an AMD build
because i like raising beard plus it feels like
they actually care about prices even when he's not paying for it he's
going for the uh the perception of who's treating the customer more fairly
so you said this machine is for gaming that's cool
so surely 480 gigs on your boot drive is not enough for the library you want
okay well that's fine we've got you covered two terabyte drive
then you got to make a big decision here possibly the most important decision of
the entire build do you want to put it on the bottom or the top
is there really a difference no
okay got those two on either side then we need that SATA data cable that we set
aside much much earlier and then misplaced
and then found go for it open it up
enjoy it savor it
oh i ripped it there goes all the good vibes
oh i ripped it again see i used to wonder why people watch
unboxing videos then i watched an amateur open a box
totally get it now oh there's cool little on top yeah it's
a cool logo this isn't just anything
this is a strix 1080 ti wow
there it is that's what's going to run
all your minecrafts and uh
there are neopets believe it or not it works as cool as it
looks if you were to run cheapo games like
minecraft on it believe it or not these fans look as cool as it looks
these fans wouldn't even have to spin wow because the heatsink on it is so big
this thing has like the entire thing
basically covered in aluminum fins okay
now the most important part of installing
the graphics card not dropping it
okay the next most important
oh yes it's got a typo on it i think hey really
look at this gtx 1080 ti gaming
it's kind of embarrassing it's not gaming it's like it's like gaming yell
so line up your ports at the back
okay you can tell if these are yep you're good i did it i installed a
graphics card sure did and you started with the best graphics
card now this is cool your graphics card
actually includes an RGB lighting header
so we can hook one of our RGB lighting strips that we have from cable mod up to
it cool okay go ahead cover your eyes
okay just follow follow us out of my voice okay okay this is the time for the big
reveal don't trip over that big block in front of your foot all right no i'm just
kidding there's no block because i moved it turn to the right and experience
180 hertz gaming so that
is what high refresh rate with g-sync looks like
so however many frames your GPU spits out
that's exactly how many frames get displayed here so you don't see any
tearing you don't see any lag so you don't even
have to give kids these days a game they'll just play move the window around
if you throw a high enough refresh rate monitor at them now let me show you something else
that's really cool come around this side
that's nice RGB yeah that's some nice RGB and
and uh we'll get the utility loaded up but check this out see this uh
RGB logo here and the logo on the back of the graphics
card it's synchronized with the RGB strip
across the top here that's cool i got one other cool thing for you too really
listen to it that's quiet that's drinks for you my
family won't get annoyed at all
well i'm sure they'll find reasons to get annoyed because you're always going to be on the computer or bugging them to
go on the computer the day was awesome actually it was
really cool the bill was my favorite part and then it was also fun at the end
to test the computer and stuff i was definitely not expecting a 1080 ti
so while charlie plays around with the RGB settings on the video card which
also controls the RGB strip along the top i guess i'll bid you guys farewell
thanks for watching this episode of our rog rig reboot huge congratulations to
you bud for uh winning this whole thing uh
rate the system you gotta tell me out of ten ten ten out of ten perfect i like your
style man all right thanks for watching guys
