1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,000
ah we're good this is a

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,080
okay so it's usually Linus who shows up at somebody's house to do an extreme

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:17,279
tech upgrade sponsored by Intel but the problem is that he's usually

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,800
here to upgrade a pc

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:22,800
as far as i'm aware there's never actually been a pc in this house

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,400
so maybe we can get mark to let us in a little bit

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,400
on why it is he's never had a pc

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:46,649
hello there

9
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:55,120
all right well i think the last time i was in a house without a pc and it was in the 1990s so uh why don't you show me

10
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,920
what it looks like sure all right well everything is uh integrated with home

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,960
kit all right i have the eero device here which is uh the mesh network

12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,119
one that works with home kit you don't want to like mount it somewhere like

13
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:13,439
that like with i'm working on it this is the kitchen so

14
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:16,320
these are like my knives and everything oh

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,080
before i was uh an editor uh i used to be a butcher yeah so before

16
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,680
i cut videos i cut meat i guess it's a natural evolution yeah so who's the very

17
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:31,600
good boy that's been following us around all the time oh this is ben

18
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,840
he's uh my dog he's got uh 2000

19
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,040
followers on instagram really yeah ben the terrier fun fact he's not actually a

20
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:43,840
terrier don't tell anyone is that a plasma tv

21
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,759
yes a 42-inch plasma tv i did not buy

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,320
this so it wasn't specifically for playing games oh oh definitely not um

23
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,840
i'm guessing the reason we're here though

24
00:01:51,600 --> 00:02:00,560
is you're going to replace it absolutely what are you replacing it with a 55-inch

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,600
lg OLED tv and there's also a sound bar

26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:08,239
over here i noticed you don't have a soundbar or any kind of speakers right now so i got this

27
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,760
i chose the sonos arc mainly because

28
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:14,400
it's a home kit integrated oh so i can

29
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,200
connect it very easily with uh airplay i know a lot of people in the comments are

30
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,780
going to say i shouldn't mount it over a fireplace

31
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:24,879
this is true talk about burn-in

32
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:33,040
the air purifier over there is also homekit enabled why do you need

33
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,640
an air purifier to be home kit enabled

34
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,040
so i can shut it off when i when we leave the house do you not have a remote

35
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:41,680
control the remote control is my iphone

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,840
so continuing with the home tour okay it's upstairs

37
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:56,160
so this is kind of my home office slash studio okay uh slash server room slash

38
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,360
server room everything well yeah here's my server huh you gotta have like an actual rack

39
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,920
yeah yeah is it just the drogo or dribble nope

40
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,360
is it the camera nope come over here

41
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,560
it's that what this that's my server and this is

42
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,959
my desktop editor which is a

43
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:21,519
vcr yeah that's that's about what i thought that was yeah oh yeah we got this when

44
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:26,080
the first imac came out came packaged with the uh computer i i don't get rid

45
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:33,120
of my mac so i just repurposed them for other uses so you don't get rid of your macs

46
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,440
where's your uh imac g3 i don't know

47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,560
i was looking for it i actually have a g3 a g4 cube

48
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:46,959
uh i have a 6400 power mac also i have a apple two plus okay that that i actually

49
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,319
think my mom got rid of got rid of i moved out and then we moved back in so

50
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:55,599
this is your mom's place not exactly look she lives with me okay

51
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:01,840
okay whatever you say i see you also have a 3d printer yep

52
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,439
this is the one i got from uh from the office yeah yeah stolen from the uh

53
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,879
yeah that's that's the excuse we're using despite you know being an apple

54
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,120
guy uh i do play games it's not like i don't

55
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:19,089
have Windows installed on here it's uh through bootcamp bootcamp yeah bootcamp

56
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,040
that's illegal uh

57
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:27,919
i mean it is kinda now with m1 and that's part of the reason why i really

58
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,080
need a pc right right you can't upgrade

59
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:34,880
well i can't upgrade Windows anyway because i have an egpu

60
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,479
and uh that's what that is yeah in order to game with it i should be plugging

61
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,880
into the displayport or HDMI or whatever into the GPU

62
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:46,000
but this monitor here is Thunderbolt only

63
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,560
so i have to plug it into the macbook but let me show you how i have to boot

64
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:55,680
into Windows there's the real challenge so to do this properly i need to set the

65
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,960
startup disk to boot camp what i usually do is i press restart and then i unplug

66
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,000
everything i gotta hot plug it

67
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,479
right now into the left port okay cool

68
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,520
all right so now the fun part

69
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,520
so now what i have to do is i have to unplug

70
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:21,840
the egpu plug it into the other side unplug it

71
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,440
again wait what and then plug it in again

72
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,919
and now it's recognized now i can plug everything else back in

73
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:36,000
so tell me something yep where are you going to set up your actual build right

74
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,680
here do you have a display for it this is the

75
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,280
display so i got a

76
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:47,600
evga 3080 because uh they're the only

77
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:52,160
ones that had gpus for some reason um fair enough i got these uh leon lee fans

78
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:55,520
because i was recommended them and they just came out and they look pretty

79
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,919
that's what i'm going for clean and a red theme that's the other

80
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:04,160
thing a red thing yeah you know you do know that this is sponsored

81
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:10,479
i understand that and you know i've as a apple user i've always been team

82
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:12,960
blue and before i was team blue i was

83
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:19,600
team big blue uh so we got a core i7 yep

84
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,800
11 700k yep and then this is the was the

85
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:27,280
most important piece of the puzzle

86
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,680
because this is the z590 ace from MSI

87
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:35,840
and the reason i got it is because it has Thunderbolt 4 and that's what i need

88
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,240
to make it work with that monitor the big ticket item here is the case

89
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,600
please don't tell me that's an antec 900 nope

90
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,360
this is a tow 2.0

91
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,919
what you got that case yeah

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:57,840
so the reason i got this case is it was featured in the first video i was on in

93
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,479
an LTT video if i'm gonna get a pc

94
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,400
i'm gonna go all out pc this case is weird it's literally made of Windows

95
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,599
so the core i7 11700k

96
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,840
is a 8 core 16 thread processor with a base

97
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:20,160
frequency of 3.6 gigahertz with a maximum turbo of 5.0

98
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:22,560
and thanks to this rather beefy cooler

99
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,479
we should be able to actually do that much more often than we normally would

100
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,479
be able to now mark's not here to defend himself but i don't see any RAM here

101
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:35,599
for now i'm going to move on to the NVMe SSD now

102
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,960
this is the severant rocket NVMe 4.0

103
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:43,360
these are actually quite good drives price to

104
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,160
performance wise it's kind of tough to

105
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:50,720
say no to them yeah i'll get you the RAM oh the RAM question it's finally being

106
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:53,919
answered where is it what is it

107
00:07:51,919 --> 00:08:01,919
crucial ballistics okay so ddr4 3200 15 18 18 36 so

108
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:04,720
that's fine it's fine did you yeah this is

109
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,560
you took this from the office i was kicked out of the computer club

110
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,560
what yeah in high school i was kicked out of the computer club why because i

111
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,560
was a mac user

112
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:18,160
uh yeah no it's nothing nothing important i just kind of screwed one of

113
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,360
the drywall anchors into the wall

114
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,400
somehow i don't even know how that works so you're probably asking like okay this

115
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,039
this looks amazing um i'm holding basically a tetris block

116
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:36,159
how do we power it well we've got this it goes straight on

117
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:42,000
something like uh not like that hang on what so it goes

118
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:45,519
on like that i don't look like a fool at all so you just snap it on there and

119
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:51,680
you're good to go well i noticed that you don't have a whole lot of RGB these fans are

120
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,279
basically it i want to make it tasteful

121
00:08:51,680 --> 00:09:00,240
you don't think unicorn vomit is tasteful unicorn vomit no

122
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:01,279
a case made of glass

123
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:07,040
yeah long story short i've got the fans in and i've got the fan controller and RGB

124
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,600
hub in maybe i still need to do cable management but there's not a whole lot

125
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,240
of cable management opportunities in this case unfortunately

126
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,839
so we'll have to see how that goes well to go with the red and black build we

127
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:23,440
got purple purple and blue brown brown brown

128
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:27,040
and purple okay so i've discovered a slight problem yeah okay so there are

129
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,519
two of these yeah there's only one of those on the board

130
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,399
yeah which would you prefer the type c or the

131
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:37,680
type a's maybe type c that's what it currently looks like

132
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,839
yeah everything should be good to go from

133
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,600
here all that's left to do is to throw the side panels on and power it up hey

134
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:51,839
let's see if this works is it this no

135
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,040
there you go holy crap hey

136
00:09:51,839 --> 00:10:00,000
that's a lot of light sure is

137
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,000
that is some grade a rainbow barf

138
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,360
ben seems to like it yeah it looks like it's like 54

139
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:11,760
60 FPS wow a little dipping into the 40s but like

140
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:26,399
you've got it turned up to unreasonable in 5k

141
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:32,399
so i guess this is the part of the part where we're taking down the old tv and putting the

142
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:36,079
new one in pretty much all right you got a drill if not we're

143
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:41,120
just going to use our knife yeah we'll use your knives that'll work yeah

144
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,800
you can eat it we're good

145
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:48,720
all i did was let up off it a little bit yeah

146
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,959
i'm kind of glad it's you and not Linus right now

147
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,800
i can't see i think you need to go up a bit here we go how do we lock it in place it

148
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:02,720
is i think i don't know what this is for oh wait hold on to unlock the tv from

149
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:08,240
the wall plate pull down and hold yeah good thing i didn't pull down on those

150
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,680
yeah yeah because we get it right the first time

151
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,320
yeah wow that's like the first time in

152
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,760
any line of tech tips video well it's because we didn't just like oh what does

153
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:22,000
this do yank we're like what does this do

154
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:27,760
oh yeah don't do that yeah we read the

155
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,480
manual always read the manual you see i

156
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,240
kind of peeled a little bit already why would you do that oh it's actually

157
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,399
making a beautiful sound it's like a campfire yeah

158
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,000
oh yeah oh that looks pretty

159
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:44,959
so another reason i chose the ark was mainly because

160
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,959
sometimes i don't want to have the tv on especially it's an OLED and i do want to

161
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:53,600
play but i do want to play music or something and i can just you know from

162
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:57,040
the laptop down here or upstairs just airplay straight to this on the network
