WEBVTT 00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:04.140 one the following video contains footage of a PC that has been intentionally 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 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 00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:18.600 origin PC told me to give away this Kronos V3 small form factor gaming PC 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 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:27.960 of time on r slash malicious compliance lately and while they did stipulate that 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 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 00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:41.520 computer you have two hours to fix it needing all of these criteria if you 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 00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:51.600 else you may right now visually inspect the 00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:55.260 PC visually but don't touch not that I think you'll 00:00:54.059 --> 00:00:59.640 be able to glean any useful information anyway our team of skilled customer to 00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:03.840 Service Experts burned the Midnight Oil making sure that this was going to be 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.720 extremely challenging anybody say something you can you don't have to you 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 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.880 here we go oh oh and this is great 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 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.020 through a few more really important details that I'm springing on him at the 00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:29.700 last second here oh and springy on Origin they had no idea you see I put 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 00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:40.020 complete the challenge in a lot less than two hours every 30 minutes I'm 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 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:50.340 once I say it you no longer get it oh 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:53.040 isn't that fun and the best part Calvin 00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:59.340 is that absolutely nobody is cheering for you because if you fail there's a 00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:01.140 separate giveaway for another Chronos V3 00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:06.899 for all the fine folks watching from home but it's just one unless you fail 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:09.959 too isn't that great no hard feelings though man the contract says I have to 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 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 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.660 distract you it's great do you have any experience 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 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:32.220 post boot into Windows have all the parts detected in Hardware info there's 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:39.000 a lot of stuff in there core I9 3900k RTX 4080 Founders Edition 32 gigs of 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:41.040 ddr5 RAM more than one drive okay to 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:47.099 figure out exactly what drives are in there and score at least 37 000 in 00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:49.800 cinebench R23 and 2250 in classroom yeah 00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:53.160 you gotta run benchmarks too that half an hour one is going to be basically 00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:56.760 impossible you're removing a say to drive what exactly is it that you're 00:02:55.140 --> 00:03:01.200 hoping to achieve right now well it was disconnected and I could not fit my 00:02:59.220 --> 00:03:04.140 fingers in to reconnect it hopefully there's not too much other stuff that's 00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:07.680 disconnected it's going to be doing a full tear down and rebuild of this thing 00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:11.400 too bad you can't use Origins 24 7 lifetime support did you watch our 00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.480 previous troubleshooting Challenge videos as prep 00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:19.319 oh that would have been really smart you didn't did you 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.400 goodness gracious almost eight minutes gone already where does time go when 00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:26.840 you're having fun should I give him any hints if I figure something out 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 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:41.120 here David one thing I can see is something that's very clearly hanging 00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:41.120 out there 00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:46.099 what's this what's going on here 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:51.180 doesn't seem very good at about 15 minutes in there's definitely things 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.319 that I'd be doing differently I don't think he's being nearly aggressive 00:03:52.739 --> 00:03:58.860 enough in his disassembly he knows we've messed with this thing and he's trying 00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:04.140 to look for surface level problems like is the back of the power supply switch 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 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:13.140 of here to validate that it's actually connected at all 00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:17.639 oh he started oh 00:04:14.299 --> 00:04:20.579 we dropped the RAM ah 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 00:04:23.580 --> 00:04:29.340 reveal the first thing that you're missing out on it's funny how you change 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:33.720 the dynamic right he started this shoot ready to win something in two hours but 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:39.419 now all he can think about is what he's going to lose in 30 minutes 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.759 man you could be gaming at like 4K 120 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 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:49.080 disappointment in just an hour and 40 minutes 00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:52.979 you cannot get that another word out here nope 00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:56.699 uh some things still plugged in that's the thing about small form factor builds 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 00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:06.840 the spot not bad sleep deprived brain this must hurt to watch hey no I'm 00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:10.800 having a blast I'm feeling particularly malicious today had a very bad night 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 00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:21.600 seconds which means it's time to open the first envelope if 00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:26.639 you had completed the challenge in just 30 minutes you would have received in 00:05:24.419 --> 00:05:34.320 addition to your origin Chronos V3 gaming PC damn a Xenon Flex 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:39.479 virtuoso RGB Wireless XT headset K100 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:40.979 keyboard and a dark core RGB Pro really 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 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 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 00:05:52.979 --> 00:05:59.759 I will say that half an hour in I probably would have put a little bit 00:05:56.820 --> 00:06:05.100 more work into isolation so taking my individual components and evaluating 00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:07.020 them one by one okay I got my GPU is it 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 00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:15.840 good to go take my motherboard you know where are all the different points it 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 00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:24.419 death of me you got to have confidence 00:06:21.900 --> 00:06:27.720 you know what I've come around I'm rooting for Kelvin now 00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:30.979 okay you got to have confidence you gotta just you gotta pull it out 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 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:43.560 the word you were looking for yeah can I have a look at that please sure 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.500 it's cosmetic thank God 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:50.639 oh God's Not Gonna help you with this keep it far far away 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.440 there's a couple more things that origin PC wanted me to mention about the system 00:06:52.380 --> 00:06:57.660 it fits up to 620 millimeter case fans 00:06:55.440 --> 00:07:01.620 which means it's easy to attach a 360 millimeter AIO cooler which is really 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 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 00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:15.900 happened to put in here yes this is a thousand watt power supply 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:20.460 one issue I'm noticing with Calvin's approach is that he's thinking very 00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:23.160 Inside the Box in a literal sense he's 00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:29.039 trying to do everything inside the Box by this point I would have everything 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:31.560 spread out hanging out the side whatever 00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:37.440 it takes to just get my individual components attached in the bare minimum 00:07:34.020 --> 00:07:39.479 way and isolated doesn't need a GPU to 00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:44.400 post the system he doesn't need a cooler he started with absolutely no response 00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:49.800 whatsoever he doesn't even need a power button he just needs some way to jump 00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:53.699 those pins and see has anything I've done improved anything there is 00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:57.240 something that's troubling me we don't like viewer interactions to end 00:07:55.620 --> 00:08:01.860 negatively that was one of the reasons that I cheated in PC or no PC awarding 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:06.539 the top prize to both participants regardless of what they actually earned 00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:10.319 but there was so much audience backlash when I did that because people felt that 00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:15.419 it removed all the stakes that I will never do it again if we said 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 00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:24.300 carrier board where does it go so where does it need to go liberate it where 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:29.460 pray tell Calvin would you normally find the front i o things plugged in on a 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 00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:39.779 like sort of unusual ASUS has done something very interesting with this 00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:41.940 board there are two male long male type 00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:46.980 c connectors along the bottom right edge of the board and they appear to be 00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:51.660 designed to plug into this daughter board which has two female receptacles 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 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.800 for USB but if I were me having seen all 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:03.360 the weird shiz that motherboard manufacturers do over the years I would 00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:07.200 look at it and go they have reused an industry standard connector and they've 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 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:16.740 like front panel USB 2 SATA front panel 00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:21.240 connector oh would you look at that a little indicator light okay getting 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:27.080 somewhere did you find the front panel connection i o connector yeah oh it's 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.080 just really you 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 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 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 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:47.640 had yeah a Xenon 32 inch yeah hs80 00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:50.220 headset k70 keyboard and iron claw RGB 00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:54.120 Wireless still great stuff but um a significant downgrade over last 00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:58.080 time we're definitely trending in a like this direction I'm going to help you 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:02.580 with that that is an extremely misleading manual there is no power 00:10:00.180 --> 00:10:07.080 button there oh there's a label here that says power button though 00:10:04.459 --> 00:10:11.700 what the devil are they talking about this is about those few switches back I 00:10:09.540 --> 00:10:17.820 mean these few prongs back here you think 00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:19.740 oh interesting that was weird okay well 00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:25.740 that's a good sign yeah I would turn this off really quickly though yeah yeah 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:28.140 47 minutes oh no it's getting intense 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 00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:35.040 difficult things about troubleshooting Under Pressure whether it's a client 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:40.620 breathing down your neck or a deadline is thoroughness you always miss things 00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:44.279 when you're under pressure and one of the things that I would be making sure 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 00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:54.920 missed anything I need to isolate say for example an SSD 00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:02.519 well we know from the requirements that 00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:05.160 there are drives we saw one two and a 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:09.000 half inch Drive which means there are some other Z somewhere okay a more 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.260 direct hint if something's not working there's no time you just need to press 00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:16.740 forward every time something costs five minutes at this point it is costing 00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:21.420 one-ninth of the remaining amount of time you got to think about it that way 00:11:18.420 --> 00:11:23.519 real talk David at 30 minutes do I jump 00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:26.880 in and help I think you should is that violating the spirit of the challenge 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 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 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:39.000 people to feel like you know everything's wigged here because I 00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:42.480 really don't know the answers maybe I can help but I can't touch it 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 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 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 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 00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:04.860 because I thought that that would be reasonable he was mistaken we take it 00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:10.320 back no it's established it's Canon okay it's 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 00:12:12.660 --> 00:12:19.620 half minutes from the third and final envelope and 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 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.839 Tech tip two of the four screws on that 00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:31.380 motherboard are easier to access than the others Tech tip the panels have to 00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:36.899 be closed we didn't say anything about components left outside of the panels 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:41.640 put in only two screws go go go whatever ones are easiest 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 00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:53.959 for longer than five seconds right keep your eye on the prize 00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:58.740 all right yes I'm sorry last time 00:12:53.959 --> 00:13:01.320 last one yeah a scepter 20 inch 1600 by 00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:06.480 900 fake airpods I'm not gonna miss those Amazon Basics keyboard Amazon 00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:09.660 Basics Mouse okay well hey at least you already had lost most of what you were 00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:13.620 going to lose before but the second twist is I'm gonna be helping you in 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 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 00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:26.579 go there's no power button you see this power buttons right here and the 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:30.779 orientation is this way so the bottom two 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 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 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 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.120 the computer and I know okay I understand 00:13:42.839 --> 00:13:50.339 I would power cycle it once though wait okay okay that's something step one okay 00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:57.300 okay this tells us our m.2 drive is working that's good so 00:13:53.820 --> 00:13:59.639 that means that the drive that wasn't 00:13:57.300 --> 00:14:03.480 working was probably the SATA one okay it looks like it's already at defaults 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 00:14:05.579 --> 00:14:10.440 what do we still need to do we're not 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 00:14:13.380 --> 00:14:22.139 hard drive must go in it must get power we must get this stupid SATA thing 00:14:19.260 --> 00:14:26.100 plugged in okay okay however we don't need to move that power switch you can 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:30.060 deal with that at home get it plugged into the proper thing later at your 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 00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:35.420 see if we can get that drive detected 00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:42.660 we've got two ssds now excellent 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 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 00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:56.760 these blender benchmarks is this GPU or CPU GPU GPU okay and the cinebench score 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 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:04.680 our pump is working we can do that with our ears 00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:10.019 the answer is yes I didn't have to touch it okay so 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:14.279 Hardware info uh what do we need to show up all parts detected including GPU 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 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 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:27.180 not okay now hold on we gotta check the rules exactly have all parts detected in 00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:31.019 hardware and for including the GPU the RAM and the drives we have to run the 00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:36.000 benchmarks we don't need to get this drive detected in Windows Explorer you 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:40.260 can do that later okay but we need but we need cinebench R23 00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:45.600 and we need blender with the monster junk shop and classroom benchmarks okay 00:15:42.839 --> 00:15:49.740 we've got a we gotta strategize do we think it will be faster to solve 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 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 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 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 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 00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:17.760 a folder here exe yes okay we need 37 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 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 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:29.579 fans are pointed down at the table uh we'll deal with that later 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 00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:37.740 okay let's see if we get these scores 00:16:35.459 --> 00:16:41.339 GPU fans definitely spinning up all right we need to uh we need to put the 00:16:39.540 --> 00:16:46.920 side panels on leaning tower of side panel I consider that on okay great me 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 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 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:59.100 into the BIOS enable XMP but we already passed the CPU Benchmark so we're in 00:16:57.779 --> 00:17:02.360 pretty good shape the one thing I'm worried about is right now that second 00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:08.160 Drive specifically says it has to be detected 00:17:04.860 --> 00:17:10.079 in Hardware info it doesn't say it needs 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 00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:17.100 Benchmark done then we know we're clear we have 10 minutes to figure out why 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 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 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:28.500 yes monster in the monster Benchmark 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:31.620 absolutely monster numbers we passed everything we need the last thing we 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 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:40.140 validated let's reboot this computer so turn it off yep 00:17:38.100 --> 00:17:44.580 don't worry about it good okay we're in uh 00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:48.720 wait maybe I was mistaken that drive is not 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:53.039 okay no this is good though because it means whatever is wrong is universally 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 00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:00.539 going on is that cable is whack it's 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 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 00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:13.679 let's make sure that's in there it is possible that we have actually ruined 00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:17.400 the SATA connector on that little daughter board there's a second one we 00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:21.480 can try that next Power It Up and then worst case scenario I have a 00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:27.059 little trick up my sleeve this is why they have to be really careful when they 00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:29.340 build rule sets yeah I'm participating 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 00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:36.360 five minutes what's easier at this point plugging the SATA connector into the 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:40.620 daughter board and putting that in uh yeah or just taking the entire thing out 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:43.799 what entire thing this uh oh yeah yeah take the daughter board out plug it in 00:18:42.179 --> 00:18:47.400 put that back in that might actually be easier at this stage in the game 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 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:54.900 adapter nothing says we can't use it so oh sorry 00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:59.039 I'm not allowed to touch get get that drive disconnected okay 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:01.860 just rip it out okay 00:19:00.600 --> 00:19:08.220 plug this in 45 seconds oh okay I have to put these 00:19:04.760 --> 00:19:10.200 on put them here faster 00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:14.700 they're on something don't worry about it storage d 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 00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:25.460 no no you're good uh no down here 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:30.679 yeah it's detected okay zero seconds 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:36.559 oh my God oh my God 00:19:42.179 --> 00:19:47.840 thank you 00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:56.400 that's crazy that's crazy 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:03.940 the letter of the law not the spirit 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:13.620 anyway don't thank me thank you origin PC 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.419 makers of the Chronos V3 a computer that 00:20:13.620 --> 00:20:19.620 looks a lot better when they ship it to you than when I fix it 00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:23.820 for real though the one that you could win at the link in the video description 00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:27.780 it would look more like when this started and not like when it finished 00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:32.520 but fully functional without us having messed with it a Tanner what the hell is 00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:37.559 wrong with that drive okay so um what was wrong with that drive when uh I 00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:41.760 touched it was the SATA cable was unplugged 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:45.660 in fact that was a lot of the problems with it the front panel connector was 00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:49.020 also unplugged what was the other thing that was wrong with it wait there were 00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:54.179 only three things wrong with it well there were also two software things okay 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:56.340 because I had the CPU underclocked and I 00:20:54.179 --> 00:21:03.380 had the GPU under clock but I on that one forgot to set MSI afterburner to 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:06.780 launch on boot that's so 00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:09.419 that one's on me okay originally I just 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 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:16.200 unplug that the whole daughter board came out yeah so when the whole daughter 00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:20.580 board came out I thought man that sure does look like it's still plugged in 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 00:21:22.679 --> 00:21:29.000 at all just seeing it like tick down 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:33.419 uh were these helpful no no this was an innovation that came up with 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:38.220 at the last minute the first one hurt the most 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.320 oh oh yeah that Xenia on Flex yeah great 00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:44.340 monitor great monitor but the good news is that even if you don't 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 00:21:46.260 --> 00:21:51.059 and build it 00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:56.960 tear it apart and then put it back together now that would be best yeah 00:21:54.419 --> 00:22:01.740 yeah uh if you guys enjoyed this video uh maybe you like the energy go check 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 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.200 we'll put it in the video description
