1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,140 one the following video contains footage of a PC that has been intentionally 2 00:00:03,179 --> 00:00:08,460 damaged for educational and entertainment purposes species was fully functional it was sent to us by origin 3 00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:13,679 but we broke it the makers of this video urged viewers exercise caution and respect when handling Electronics 4 00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:18,600 origin PC told me to give away this Kronos V3 small form factor gaming PC 5 00:00:16,139 --> 00:00:23,460 and that is their right they did sponsor the video but I have been spending a lot 6 00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,960 of time on r slash malicious compliance lately and while they did stipulate that 7 00:00:25,619 --> 00:00:31,920 I have to give it away they didn't say it had to be in working condition so 8 00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:36,480 here's the deal Kelvin if that is your real name from the time you touch this 9 00:00:33,899 --> 00:00:41,520 computer you have two hours to fix it needing all of these criteria if you 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,420 succeed you take it home with you ready to game if you fail I give it to someone 11 00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:51,600 else you may right now visually inspect the 12 00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:55,260 PC visually but don't touch not that I think you'll 13 00:00:54,059 --> 00:00:59,640 be able to glean any useful information anyway our team of skilled customer to 14 00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:03,840 Service Experts burned the Midnight Oil making sure that this was going to be 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,720 extremely challenging anybody say something you can you don't have to you 16 00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:15,720 can just touch the computer and try and fix it okay touched it set the thing set the thing 17 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,880 here we go oh oh and this is great 18 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,420 because while he's trying to think right now is a perfect time for me to go 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,020 through a few more really important details that I'm springing on him at the 20 00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:29,700 last second here oh and springy on Origin they had no idea you see I put 21 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,500 together a few little bonus prize packs of my own but to get them he has to 22 00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:40,020 complete the challenge in a lot less than two hours every 30 minutes I'm 23 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:46,740 going to open up one of these envelopes and I'll read out what's inside them but 24 00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:50,340 once I say it you no longer get it oh 25 00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:53,040 isn't that fun and the best part Calvin 26 00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:59,340 is that absolutely nobody is cheering for you because if you fail there's a 27 00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:01,140 separate giveaway for another Chronos V3 28 00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:06,899 for all the fine folks watching from home but it's just one unless you fail 29 00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:09,959 too isn't that great no hard feelings though man the contract says I have to 30 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:15,239 give it away it doesn't say that I have to give it away to you ouch 31 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,060 wow it really doesn't say anything it doesn't even say that I'm not allowed to 32 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,660 distract you it's great do you have any experience 33 00:02:20,099 --> 00:02:27,900 fixing computers Calvin because it really doesn't look like I've built my own before wow this is tough he has to 34 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:32,220 post boot into Windows have all the parts detected in Hardware info there's 35 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:39,000 a lot of stuff in there core I9 3900k RTX 4080 Founders Edition 32 gigs of 36 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,040 ddr5 RAM more than one drive okay to 37 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,099 figure out exactly what drives are in there and score at least 37 000 in 38 00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:49,800 cinebench R23 and 2250 in classroom yeah 39 00:02:47,099 --> 00:02:53,160 you gotta run benchmarks too that half an hour one is going to be basically 40 00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:56,760 impossible you're removing a say to drive what exactly is it that you're 41 00:02:55,140 --> 00:03:01,200 hoping to achieve right now well it was disconnected and I could not fit my 42 00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:04,140 fingers in to reconnect it hopefully there's not too much other stuff that's 43 00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:07,680 disconnected it's going to be doing a full tear down and rebuild of this thing 44 00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:11,400 too bad you can't use Origins 24 7 lifetime support did you watch our 45 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,480 previous troubleshooting Challenge videos as prep 46 00:03:13,379 --> 00:03:19,319 oh that would have been really smart you didn't did you 47 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:23,400 goodness gracious almost eight minutes gone already where does time go when 48 00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:26,840 you're having fun should I give him any hints if I figure something out 49 00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:37,019 he's one of the people who likes my evil Persona okay I'm gonna poke my head in 50 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,120 here David one thing I can see is something that's very clearly hanging 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,120 out there 52 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,099 what's this what's going on here 53 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,180 doesn't seem very good at about 15 minutes in there's definitely things 54 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,319 that I'd be doing differently I don't think he's being nearly aggressive 55 00:03:52,739 --> 00:03:58,860 enough in his disassembly he knows we've messed with this thing and he's trying 56 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:04,140 to look for surface level problems like is the back of the power supply switch 57 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:07,940 off you know stuff like that the first thing I'd be doing is tearing stuff out 58 00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:13,140 of here to validate that it's actually connected at all 59 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:17,639 oh he started oh 60 00:04:14,299 --> 00:04:20,579 we dropped the RAM ah 61 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:25,139 to watch now I get how you guys feel in just 11 minutes and 23 seconds I get to 62 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:29,340 reveal the first thing that you're missing out on it's funny how you change 63 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,720 the dynamic right he started this shoot ready to win something in two hours but 64 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:39,419 now all he can think about is what he's going to lose in 30 minutes 65 00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:41,759 man you could be gaming at like 4K 120 66 00:04:39,419 --> 00:04:46,080 frames per second in just an hour and 40 minutes or you could be driving home in 67 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,080 disappointment in just an hour and 40 minutes 68 00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:52,979 you cannot get that another word out here nope 69 00:04:50,699 --> 00:04:56,699 uh some things still plugged in that's the thing about small form factor builds 70 00:04:54,780 --> 00:05:00,840 is when they're done right they're packed tight hey I came up with that on 71 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:06,840 the spot not bad sleep deprived brain this must hurt to watch hey no I'm 72 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:10,800 having a blast I'm feeling particularly malicious today had a very bad night 73 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,180 it's still an hour and a half there's yes and it's four seconds and four 74 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:21,600 seconds which means it's time to open the first envelope if 75 00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:26,639 you had completed the challenge in just 30 minutes you would have received in 76 00:05:24,419 --> 00:05:34,320 addition to your origin Chronos V3 gaming PC damn a Xenon Flex 77 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:39,479 virtuoso RGB Wireless XT headset K100 78 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,979 keyboard and a dark core RGB Pro really 79 00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:45,180 it's a two thousand dollar monitor oh yeah that would have been nice yeah it would 80 00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:50,340 have been nice well hopefully there's something good in the next one truthfully watching him read that did 81 00:05:48,419 --> 00:05:55,560 kind of hurt I'm feeling a little bit more benevolent now so with that in mind 82 00:05:52,979 --> 00:05:59,759 I will say that half an hour in I probably would have put a little bit 83 00:05:56,820 --> 00:06:05,100 more work into isolation so taking my individual components and evaluating 84 00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:07,020 them one by one okay I got my GPU is it 85 00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:12,539 plugged in on one end is it plugged in on the other end okay spit roasted GPU 86 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,840 good to go take my motherboard you know where are all the different points it 87 00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:19,800 needs to be plugged in I want to go one thing at a time this cable will be the 88 00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:24,419 death of me you got to have confidence 89 00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:27,720 you know what I've come around I'm rooting for Kelvin now 90 00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:30,979 okay you got to have confidence you gotta just you gotta pull it out 91 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:38,520 uh is that a piece of motherboard just from The Edge right here so yes this is 92 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:43,560 the word you were looking for yeah can I have a look at that please sure 93 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,500 it's cosmetic thank God 94 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,639 oh God's Not Gonna help you with this keep it far far away 95 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,440 there's a couple more things that origin PC wanted me to mention about the system 96 00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:57,660 it fits up to 620 millimeter case fans 97 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:01,620 which means it's easy to attach a 360 millimeter AIO cooler which is really 98 00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:07,139 impressive given the size of this thing the one that we've got is the IQ h150i 99 00:07:04,259 --> 00:07:11,880 Elite and it supports up to a 1 000 watt sfx power supply which is that what they 100 00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:15,900 happened to put in here yes this is a thousand watt power supply 101 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:20,460 one issue I'm noticing with Calvin's approach is that he's thinking very 102 00:07:17,220 --> 00:07:23,160 Inside the Box in a literal sense he's 103 00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:29,039 trying to do everything inside the Box by this point I would have everything 104 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,560 spread out hanging out the side whatever 105 00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:37,440 it takes to just get my individual components attached in the bare minimum 106 00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:39,479 way and isolated doesn't need a GPU to 107 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:44,400 post the system he doesn't need a cooler he started with absolutely no response 108 00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:49,800 whatsoever he doesn't even need a power button he just needs some way to jump 109 00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:53,699 those pins and see has anything I've done improved anything there is 110 00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:57,240 something that's troubling me we don't like viewer interactions to end 111 00:07:55,620 --> 00:08:01,860 negatively that was one of the reasons that I cheated in PC or no PC awarding 112 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,539 the top prize to both participants regardless of what they actually earned 113 00:08:04,259 --> 00:08:10,319 but there was so much audience backlash when I did that because people felt that 114 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:15,419 it removed all the stakes that I will never do it again if we said 115 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:20,099 you fail you lose that's how it has to be okay come on Calvin what does this do 116 00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:24,300 carrier board where does it go so where does it need to go liberate it where 117 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:29,460 pray tell Calvin would you normally find the front i o things plugged in on a 118 00:08:26,699 --> 00:08:33,659 motherboard or on the sides of it so do you see anything on the sides that looks 119 00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:39,779 like sort of unusual ASUS has done something very interesting with this 120 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,940 board there are two male long male type 121 00:08:39,779 --> 00:08:46,980 c connectors along the bottom right edge of the board and they appear to be 122 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:51,660 designed to plug into this daughter board which has two female receptacles 123 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:57,240 now if I was the average user I might look at a USB type-c and go well that's 124 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,800 for USB but if I were me having seen all 125 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,360 the weird shiz that motherboard manufacturers do over the years I would 126 00:09:01,019 --> 00:09:07,200 look at it and go they have reused an industry standard connector and they've 127 00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:14,700 done all their own pin out for it so they're using these usbcs for my looks 128 00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:16,740 like front panel USB 2 SATA front panel 129 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:21,240 connector oh would you look at that a little indicator light okay getting 130 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:27,080 somewhere did you find the front panel connection i o connector yeah oh it's 131 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,080 just really you 132 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:34,440 know connector crap in here okay well what you need to do is you need to find 133 00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:37,440 where the front i o connector is but before you can do that I really do need 134 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:43,740 you to open this envelope because I said I would make you do it so I could have 135 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:47,640 had yeah a Xenon 32 inch yeah hs80 136 00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:50,220 headset k70 keyboard and iron claw RGB 137 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:54,120 Wireless still great stuff but um a significant downgrade over last 138 00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:58,080 time we're definitely trending in a like this direction I'm going to help you 139 00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:02,580 with that that is an extremely misleading manual there is no power 140 00:10:00,180 --> 00:10:07,080 button there oh there's a label here that says power button though 141 00:10:04,459 --> 00:10:11,700 what the devil are they talking about this is about those few switches back I 142 00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:17,820 mean these few prongs back here you think 143 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,740 oh interesting that was weird okay well 144 00:10:17,820 --> 00:10:25,740 that's a good sign yeah I would turn this off really quickly though yeah yeah 145 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:28,140 47 minutes oh no it's getting intense 146 00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:31,620 it's been intense for me for a while you just didn't know it yet one of the most 147 00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:35,040 difficult things about troubleshooting Under Pressure whether it's a client 148 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:40,620 breathing down your neck or a deadline is thoroughness you always miss things 149 00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:44,279 when you're under pressure and one of the things that I would be making sure 150 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:50,700 that I'm doing at this stage is taking a second regrouping slow is fast have I 151 00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:54,920 missed anything I need to isolate say for example an SSD 152 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:02,519 well we know from the requirements that 153 00:10:58,980 --> 00:11:05,160 there are drives we saw one two and a 154 00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:09,000 half inch Drive which means there are some other Z somewhere okay a more 155 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,260 direct hint if something's not working there's no time you just need to press 156 00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:16,740 forward every time something costs five minutes at this point it is costing 157 00:11:15,060 --> 00:11:21,420 one-ninth of the remaining amount of time you got to think about it that way 158 00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:23,519 real talk David at 30 minutes do I jump 159 00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:26,880 in and help I think you should is that violating the spirit of the challenge 160 00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:30,540 because they never said I couldn't help I mean they never said I had to do this 161 00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:34,320 to him at all but will people be upset if together we achieve it I don't want 162 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,000 people to feel like you know everything's wigged here because I 163 00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:42,480 really don't know the answers maybe I can help but I can't touch it 164 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:48,959 yeah that's a good idea I can tell them what to do do you think that's compromise you guys good we good okay 12 165 00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:53,399 more minutes I will start helping in our Earnest okay it just has to run does it 166 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:58,019 need to be in the case to run well we did say the case panels had to be closed 167 00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:01,920 we never said that I did you did I did why did you say that well I said that 168 00:11:59,820 --> 00:12:04,860 because I thought that that would be reasonable he was mistaken we take it 169 00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:10,320 back no it's established it's Canon okay it's 170 00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:14,880 like the Bad sequel Star Wars movies we're stuck with them we're eight and a 171 00:12:12,660 --> 00:12:19,620 half minutes from the third and final envelope and 172 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:26,220 I hate to tell you this another surprise twist okay I'm not looking forward to it 173 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,839 Tech tip two of the four screws on that 174 00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:31,380 motherboard are easier to access than the others Tech tip the panels have to 175 00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:36,899 be closed we didn't say anything about components left outside of the panels 176 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:41,640 put in only two screws go go go whatever ones are easiest 177 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:48,540 isolation what do we need to do now storages uh SSD we need to boot it up 178 00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:53,959 for longer than five seconds right keep your eye on the prize 179 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:58,740 all right yes I'm sorry last time 180 00:12:53,959 --> 00:13:01,320 last one yeah a scepter 20 inch 1600 by 181 00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:06,480 900 fake airpods I'm not gonna miss those Amazon Basics keyboard Amazon 182 00:13:03,540 --> 00:13:09,660 Basics Mouse okay well hey at least you already had lost most of what you were 183 00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:13,620 going to lose before but the second twist is I'm gonna be helping you in 184 00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:17,700 Earnest with the one rule being that I can't touch it okay I'll take anything 185 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,200 let's go find that damn power switch thing and put it on the damn thing let's 186 00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:26,579 go there's no power button you see this power buttons right here and the 187 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:30,779 orientation is this way so the bottom two 188 00:13:28,139 --> 00:13:34,380 finally okay that's on it's powered on okay let's see if we get an output we 189 00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:38,220 still have 26 and a half minutes we're gonna get them there well we're gonna 190 00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:41,760 try I'm really sorry but if you don't complete it I actually can't give you 191 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,120 the computer and I know okay I understand 192 00:13:42,839 --> 00:13:50,339 I would power cycle it once though wait okay okay that's something step one okay 193 00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:57,300 okay this tells us our m.2 drive is working that's good so 194 00:13:53,820 --> 00:13:59,639 that means that the drive that wasn't 195 00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:03,480 working was probably the SATA one okay it looks like it's already at defaults 196 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:09,120 that's fine so okay yep so we're gonna reset here all right now let's think 197 00:14:05,579 --> 00:14:10,440 what do we still need to do we're not 198 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,600 going to do anything we don't need we have 24 minutes uh hard drives so that 199 00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:22,139 hard drive must go in it must get power we must get this stupid SATA thing 200 00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:26,100 plugged in okay okay however we don't need to move that power switch you can 201 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,060 deal with that at home get it plugged into the proper thing later at your 202 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:35,420 leisure right so just get this in get the SATA on here get that in and let's 203 00:14:31,980 --> 00:14:35,420 see if we can get that drive detected 204 00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:42,660 we've got two ssds now excellent 205 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,540 um let's get the GPU in okay that should be the right spot so you got to support 206 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:50,579 it at the back and push it in push push push there you go yeah it's in great hey 207 00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:56,760 these blender benchmarks is this GPU or CPU GPU GPU okay and the cinebench score 208 00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,959 is a single pass single pass okay okay now is a good time to sanity check if 209 00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:04,680 our pump is working we can do that with our ears 210 00:15:02,820 --> 00:15:10,019 the answer is yes I didn't have to touch it okay so 211 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:14,279 Hardware info uh what do we need to show up all parts detected including GPU 212 00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:18,000 which we obviously have the RAM uh okay is all of our rent 32 gigs RAM is that 213 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,920 right that's right yep drives well we know both of our drives are here make sure they're in Windows Explorer they're 214 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:27,180 not okay now hold on we gotta check the rules exactly have all parts detected in 215 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:31,019 hardware and for including the GPU the RAM and the drives we have to run the 216 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:36,000 benchmarks we don't need to get this drive detected in Windows Explorer you 217 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:40,260 can do that later okay but we need but we need cinebench R23 218 00:15:38,220 --> 00:15:45,600 and we need blender with the monster junk shop and classroom benchmarks okay 219 00:15:42,839 --> 00:15:49,740 we've got a we gotta strategize do we think it will be faster to solve 220 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:55,560 assigning a no you know what it's probably faster to assign it because where does the software stored onto is 221 00:15:52,920 --> 00:16:00,420 it on the m.2 probably on that two and a half inch drive that's probably why we 222 00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:04,079 have to figure out yeah okay what the crap it's not picking it up okay this 223 00:16:02,459 --> 00:16:09,240 forget it we're not solving it then okay okay yeah we're not solving that uh okay 224 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:15,839 so let's download cinebench R23 I might be already here is it I don't oh there's 225 00:16:11,699 --> 00:16:17,760 a folder here exe yes okay we need 37 226 00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:21,540 000 we didn't turn on XMP we might need XMP in order to get that score we should 227 00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:25,620 also really have Hardware info open to make sure that our CPU is not overheating it doesn't help that our 228 00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:29,579 fans are pointed down at the table uh we'll deal with that later 229 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:35,459 um okay CPU CPU package looks fine what's our score 37 988 let's move on 230 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,740 okay let's see if we get these scores 231 00:16:35,459 --> 00:16:41,339 GPU fans definitely spinning up all right we need to uh we need to put the 232 00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:46,920 side panels on leaning tower of side panel I consider that on okay great me 233 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:52,320 too put it just put it on just on on just yeah on the top on top yeah just 234 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:56,399 okay on here put this on so if the benchmarks don't pass we can go back 235 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,100 into the BIOS enable XMP but we already passed the CPU Benchmark so we're in 236 00:16:57,779 --> 00:17:02,360 pretty good shape the one thing I'm worried about is right now that second 237 00:17:01,139 --> 00:17:08,160 Drive specifically says it has to be detected 238 00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:10,079 in Hardware info it doesn't say it needs 239 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,679 to be detected in the BIOS I didn't see it in Hardware info so let's get this 240 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,100 Benchmark done then we know we're clear we have 10 minutes to figure out why 241 00:17:15,299 --> 00:17:20,459 that drive is showing up in the BIOS but not in Hardware info yeah yeah in the 242 00:17:19,260 --> 00:17:26,400 meantime I'm going to figure out if there's a way for us to cheat okay yes 243 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,500 yes monster in the monster Benchmark 244 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,620 absolutely monster numbers we passed everything we need the last thing we 245 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,460 need to do is we need that drive to show up in Hardware info so everything's 246 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:40,140 validated let's reboot this computer so turn it off yep 247 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:44,580 don't worry about it good okay we're in uh 248 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:48,720 wait maybe I was mistaken that drive is not 249 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:53,039 okay no this is good though because it means whatever is wrong is universally 250 00:17:51,299 --> 00:17:58,200 wrong I was really worried when it was in here and not there so I think what's 251 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,539 going on is that cable is whack it's 252 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:05,460 like bent uh no not that one the one on the motherboard this okay that is like 253 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:09,600 oh it is bent it is bent you're right so you get that it's very loose here yeah 254 00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:13,679 let's make sure that's in there it is possible that we have actually ruined 255 00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:17,400 the SATA connector on that little daughter board there's a second one we 256 00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:21,480 can try that next Power It Up and then worst case scenario I have a 257 00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:27,059 little trick up my sleeve this is why they have to be really careful when they 258 00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:29,340 build rule sets yeah I'm participating 259 00:18:27,059 --> 00:18:33,000 no still not there okay shut it down let's try the other Port we still got 260 00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:36,360 five minutes what's easier at this point plugging the SATA connector into the 261 00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:40,620 daughter board and putting that in uh yeah or just taking the entire thing out 262 00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:43,799 what entire thing this uh oh yeah yeah take the daughter board out plug it in 263 00:18:42,179 --> 00:18:47,400 put that back in that might actually be easier at this stage in the game 264 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,000 two minutes it's time for the trick up the sleeve uh this is a USB to SATA 265 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:54,900 adapter nothing says we can't use it so oh sorry 266 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:59,039 I'm not allowed to touch get get that drive disconnected okay 267 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,860 just rip it out okay 268 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:08,220 plug this in 45 seconds oh okay I have to put these 269 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,200 on put them here faster 270 00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:14,700 they're on something don't worry about it storage d 271 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,980 there's a problem with this drive but we don't care about that hold on Hardware info Hardware info quick 272 00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:25,460 no no you're good uh no down here 273 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,679 yeah it's detected okay zero seconds 274 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,559 oh my God oh my God 275 00:19:42,179 --> 00:19:47,840 thank you 276 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:56,400 that's crazy that's crazy 277 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:03,940 the letter of the law not the spirit 278 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:13,620 anyway don't thank me thank you origin PC 279 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,419 makers of the Chronos V3 a computer that 280 00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:19,620 looks a lot better when they ship it to you than when I fix it 281 00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:23,820 for real though the one that you could win at the link in the video description 282 00:20:21,299 --> 00:20:27,780 it would look more like when this started and not like when it finished 283 00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:32,520 but fully functional without us having messed with it a Tanner what the hell is 284 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:37,559 wrong with that drive okay so um what was wrong with that drive when uh I 285 00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:41,760 touched it was the SATA cable was unplugged 286 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:45,660 in fact that was a lot of the problems with it the front panel connector was 287 00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:49,020 also unplugged what was the other thing that was wrong with it wait there were 288 00:20:47,460 --> 00:20:54,179 only three things wrong with it well there were also two software things okay 289 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:56,340 because I had the CPU underclocked and I 290 00:20:54,179 --> 00:21:03,380 had the GPU under clock but I on that one forgot to set MSI afterburner to 291 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:06,780 launch on boot that's so 292 00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:09,419 that one's on me okay originally I just 293 00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:12,419 wanted the power uh the power button to be unplugged but as soon as I tried to 294 00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:16,200 unplug that the whole daughter board came out yeah so when the whole daughter 295 00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:20,580 board came out I thought man that sure does look like it's still plugged in 296 00:21:18,299 --> 00:21:26,039 let's just leave it that's gonna be a thing the clock behind me did not help 297 00:21:22,679 --> 00:21:29,000 at all just seeing it like tick down 298 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:33,419 uh were these helpful no no this was an innovation that came up with 299 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:38,220 at the last minute the first one hurt the most 300 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:40,320 oh oh yeah that Xenia on Flex yeah great 301 00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:44,340 monitor great monitor but the good news is that even if you don't 302 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:47,570 have a Xenia on Flex this is a sick computer and now you get to take it home 303 00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:51,059 and build it 304 00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:56,960 tear it apart and then put it back together now that would be best yeah 305 00:21:54,419 --> 00:22:01,740 yeah uh if you guys enjoyed this video uh maybe you like the energy go check 306 00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:06,200 out one of our RG rig reboot videos we'll we'll pick a nice one for you and 307 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,200 we'll put it in the video description
