1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,600
The last ASUS ROG rig reboot brought to you by ASUS went pretty well. We built

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,160
him a computer. He was entertaining on camera and boom, beautiful video for you

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,400
to enjoy. Uh, this one might be a little more challenging. See, Xavier here needs

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,880
a new computer for 3D animation, which is great. We can use ASUS's entire pro

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,960
art lineup to build him a sick rendering machine. Unfortunately, based on his

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,439
submission, it seems he can't speak. He only knows how to communicate in the

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,439
style of silent movie.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:35,000
No, no, that's okay. Uh, you know what? I'll get into character and join you.

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,680
>> Okay, we can drop the silent act now.

10
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:48,680
Fine. Sorry.

11
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:01,280
Why don't we clear away everything we don't need just yet and let's get this

12
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,879
started. I'm going to ask you the first question that I ask all of my victim

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,119
helpers. >> Okay. >> Co-hosts. Have you ever built a computer

14
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,920
before scratch? >> Really? >> I have built

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,000
one and a half with help too. >> At least I didn't ask if you've ever

16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:23,680
performed surgery. I swapped my brother's and my own

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,360
>> motherboard and CPU and RAM. So, I don't

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,520
necessarily consider that a full build, but >> it did kind of happen.

19
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,200
>> So, that was the one and a half. >> Yes. Well, that was the half.

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,720
>> Let's start with the CPU. >> Okay. >> Because this is more of a creator PC,

21
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:40,240
right? You're doing some 3D rendering, animation,

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,000
>> right? >> What else? >> I will do some gaming. >> What kind of games do you want to play?

23
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,200
>> Uh, you're not going to like this. Minecraft.

24
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:53,680
>> I like that. Minecraft. >> Well, it's not like it's needs this.

25
00:01:52,079 --> 00:02:00,320
>> No, but this will be able to handle it just fine. >> That's true. >> As for your motherboard, we've gone with

26
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,840
the Z890 Creator Wi-Fi from Asus. This

27
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,119
is part of their ProArt lineup. >> Can I ask how much it costs?

28
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,080
>> I'm going to be honest with you. I haven't bought a motherboard in almost 20 years. I have no idea.

29
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,400
>> $500. >> $500.

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,480
$500. >> Is that too much? No, not for you. I

31
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,680
mean, after that incredible submission, by the way, I love that the chair

32
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,080
reappears at one point and blows into you again. >> It was a choice that I had planned to

33
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:31,040
do. I had actually planned to do it three times, but I ran out of time to

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,800
finish the submission. >> Can we lose the hats now? >> Yes, you can lose the hats now.

35
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,760
>> No, no. I want to get I want to make >> While you install this CPU, why don't

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,480
you let us know what kind of software you're planning to run on it? That way, we'll know if it's a good choice. I

37
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,640
mean, it's locked in now, but >> yeah, too late. Uh, I'm planning to use

38
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:53,200
Premiere Pro, Photoshop, I am a video editor currently, and also Blender and

39
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,239
Maya because I want to go into 3D animation.

40
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,959
>> Okay, very cool. This will actually be a perfect choice for you then because in

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,239
addition to its eight performance course, which will be perfect for Minecraft, it's got a whopping 16

42
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,640
efficiency course so you can spread out your workload across all of the well,

43
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,519
the course. >> Okay. I've also heard that Intel is

44
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,959
pretty good with reliability in Creative Suite apps. >> I don't know about reliability, but what

45
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:20,400
I can say is that Puget Systems published a report where they said that unless you're going with a workstation

46
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,040
platform, they strongly recommend Intel on the consumer side.

47
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,319
>> Well, then it's a great choice. >> A great choice to go on our ProArt Z890.

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,799
Why am I doing the work? >> Thank you again. >> Well, it's because you just stand there.

49
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:34,720
>> I don't know which way it goes. >> Oh, there's a hint.

50
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,760
>> Yeah, I I bet there is. Oh, maybe this the notches. Let's see.

51
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,239
>> Sure. No, the corner. >> Sure. >> Yes, the Wait,

52
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,720
>> it's amazing how many people watch our channel for years and still don't know

53
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:47,120
how to build a computer at all.

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,239
>> Thank you. >> That really says more about me than it does about you. You're backwards, by the

55
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,760
way. >> I am backwards. >> Oh, yeah. >> No, no. The CPU was right. You're

56
00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,239
backwards. Turn around. No. No. The CPU is wrong. Oh my god. You just put it in

57
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:02,319
the socket. Uh, okay. It still looks good.

58
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,120
>> That was on you, Lionus. >> Is he joking? Is he not joking? You'll

59
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,120
never know until your computer's dead. >> I'm probably doing it right. Right.

60
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:14,720
>> Watching you work on this is so tempting to leap in and rescue you.

61
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,040
>> Did I That's supposed to come off.

62
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:21,639
>> Okay, that's supposed to come off. I thought it was like Linus drop tips for a second.

63
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:29,520
>> How hard were you pushing? >> Oh my god, this arm is like flexing.

64
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,840
>> No, no, it's fine. >> We're playing those kinds of games.

65
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,960
>> Oh yes. >> Oh yes. Okay. Can we do the peel now?

66
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,800
>> Absolutely. >> Okay. >> Oh, not that one. >> No, you're messing with me again.

67
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,040
>> Ooh, nice. IO. Got them dual Thunderbolt

68
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:50,639
ports. Wait, what the hell? Are there three Thunderbolt ports on this board?

69
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,440
There are three. Not to mention 10 gig

70
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:58,800
networking, 10 gig USB, and 2 and 1/2 gig networking for good measure. Not to

71
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,840
mention Wi-Fi 7. Oh, sick. This has the

72
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,240
like proper Thunderbolt. So you can see

73
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:09,360
there's a DisplayPort on the back here. That's not an output. That's an input.

74
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,080
So you go out from your GPU right into there. And then your Thunderbolt port on

75
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:20,479
the back of the board is actually using the DisplayPort from your GPU instead

76
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:23,039
of having to go through the PCIe bus and

77
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:26,720
then output over the like um integrated graphics. It's basically a little bit

78
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:30,880
better for performance if you're outputting a display over Thunderbolt to

79
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,520
a dock or to a Thunderbolt monitor. >> I'm glad you explained that because I

80
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:37,199
barely understood any of it.

81
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:42,080
>> This good, good. Why don't we put our SSD in

82
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,600
and I can show you where all the slots are. >> ltstore.com.

83
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,240
>> Nice. Did you make that before you came over here? >> I did.

84
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:55,440
>> Very nice. I like your color scheme. >> It is pretty, isn't it? >> It is pretty. Now, is it good in the

85
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,639
hands of me? I don't know. >> Well, for starters, you don't need a screwdriver for this.

86
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:08,240
>> Hey, thank you. >> Look at that. Four M.2 slots. You can

87
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,680
fit so much M.2 in this bad boy. Don't

88
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,720
worry. It looked like I was hitting the motherboard, but I was actually hitting this heat sink. Oh my god, there's a

89
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,759
fifth one. Good gravy. Now, we get to play a really

90
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,400
fun game. Which slot do you think it goes in? Remember, they're gonna judge

91
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,520
you. >> Yes, they are. How about the cool one?

92
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:30,880
This one? Wrong. >> The reason it's wrong is that this is a

93
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,440
PCIe >> Gen 3 >> SSD. And this is your only PCIe Gen 5

94
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,720
slot. So, if you were to ever upgrade with a Gen 5 SSD in the future, you'd

95
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:44,800
want to put it in here. >> So, did I say the only wrong answer?

96
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,560
>> Mhm. >> That's great. >> Realistically, it's more about

97
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,400
convenience, though. If you were to put this here and then go to expand your

98
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:57,840
storage with a Gen 5 drive later, you would have to take out your GPU, lift

99
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,360
this off, put this one in here, then install the other one. Whereas now, you

100
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,160
can just already have this down here and you can put your new SSD in without

101
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:09,199
taking out your GPU. >> Okay, that's a fair point. >> Anyway, feel free to install an SSD

102
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:11,599
anytime. Looks like some kind of clever little toolless mechanism.

103
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,840
>> Toolless. Okay. >> Yep. They didn't count on us being here.

104
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:20,800
>> Oh, I think I got it. >> Thank you for that.

105
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:27,759
Hey, nice. Stop. I'll give you a hint. Read. Read.

106
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:30,080
Okay. Oh, I'm supposed to peel those off.

107
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,560
>> Okay. >> Don't worry. It's only millions of people who are going to watch.

108
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:39,160
>> Wow. Thank you, Lionus. You make me feel so much better about myself. >> That's the wrong one.

109
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:48,800
>> Okay. Even though it was the wrong one, is it really detrimental to remove them

110
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,680
all? Yeah, because any of the dust and junk that's floating around in your

111
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,039
computer will get stuck to them. >> Okay, >> which probably doesn't matter.

112
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:00,000
>> Okay. Well, I'm going to remove the correct one this time.

113
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,639
>> Let's do that. Also, I do think that

114
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,400
this is at least partially on ASUS. Do they really need to have all their

115
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:11,039
branding in there under a heat sink? Could they just have a giant remove on

116
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520
this? Might make it a little easier for first-time builders. I know they

117
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:19,120
sponsored the series, but that doesn't mean we can't give them constructive feedback. Now I'm going to close it for

118
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,919
real. And that was like just step one.

119
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:25,360
>> Oh yeah. Where you from? >> Chicago.

120
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:31,759
>> Cool. >> Are you judging me? >> Nope. >> No. >> I mean, I'm not American. I don't know

121
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,599
American city stereotypes. Hey, I'm from

122
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:36,479
Chicago. I'm walking here. Who the knows? I don't know. >> That's New York.

123
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,800
>> Yes. >> We've gone with some 6,000 mega transfer

124
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:44,720
per second vengeance memory from Corsair. And you got 32 gigs. So, go

125
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:50,080
ahead and install them in the correct slots. >> I'm going to assume the one closer to

126
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:54,399
the CPU is the correct one and then skip and then next.

127
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,720
>> That is a smart assumption.

128
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,320
>> Too bad it's wrong. >> Nope.

129
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,519
>> Yes. >> Yeah, buddy. >> So, what's next?

130
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:10,800
>> You think you can lift that? >> No. All right, I'll give you a hand.

131
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:17,000
>> Oh, that was that was a joke. Thank you, Lionus.

132
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:17,000
You are doing it wrong though.

133
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,560
>> I want to tip it sideways. >> Nope. >> No.

134
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,720
Look down. >> What? Right there.

135
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,240
That there. You're literally The instructions are right there. >> Oh, thank you.

136
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:39,040
>> In Xavier's defense, I have made this mistake so many times with so much

137
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:43,440
larger, more cumbersome items, and you guys have been just as mean to me in the

138
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,920
comments. So, I'm paying it forward, you could say. You ready to see your new

139
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:55,760
rendering machine? I am. Let's render it to your eyeballs. Oh, it's black wood.

140
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,800
That looks sick. It's subtle. Just a

141
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,279
little bit of wood grain. >> I thought it was metal at first.

142
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,279
>> Kind of gorgeous.

143
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,600
>> Hey, progress. >> Progress. You showed me how, so it's

144
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,160
kind of cheating. >> No, we all stand on the shoulders of giants. Well, I don't. That's why I'm so

145
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:17,279
short. >> Yeah, I'm like 5'2.

146
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,440
>> You What? Wow. Elijah, where do you find

147
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,680
these guys? Why are they all mean to me? I have done nothing to deserve this.

148
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:29,120
>> Have you used a screwdriver before? >> What kind of name is Xavier?

149
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:36,399
>> Too bad it's wrong. Think you can lift that? >> Does this have wheels? It does. Oh,

150
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:40,120
>> dude. Check this out.

151
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:40,120
They see me rolling.

152
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:49,440
Sorry, boy. Afraid we're going to have to put you down. Wow, those are big

153
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:55,079
fans. What are these? 200 mil. What's that in freedom units? Like half a

154
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,079
gallon, maybe.

155
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,000
>> The way you're throwing this.

156
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,399
That's really nice. I like that. It's going to be a really clean install. So,

157
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:10,000
are you planning to route all the cables like through the bottom of the case to

158
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:13,519
the back of the motherboard? >> Oh,

159
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:18,240
my god. This is so much better. Wow, that's

160
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,600
nice. Thanks, ASUS. They got little labels on my baggies. I don't have to

161
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,800
guess what kind of threading there is on the standoffs. Those

162
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,279
Oh, did we not give him the full bit load out? >> Oh, I didn't. They're right here.

163
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:34,640
They're right here. I was going to say I thought maybe we were worried he'd hurt him.

164
00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:44,480
I'm going to do this so I can show the folks how to use a screwdriver that they

165
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:48,720
can actually get at ltstore.com, our new transparent. So, we want to start it

166
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,480
with the nurling and finish off with the ratchet.

167
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,160
What would you like to do next other than go home and get away from this man?

168
00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:02,079
Power supply. >> Sure. >> That is the power supply.

169
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:07,920
They don't have a ProArt power supply. So, we went with the ROG Stricks 1200 W

170
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:12,560
Platinum unit. It's efficient. It plugs into the wall. It's modular. What else

171
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,760
could you want? I'll give you 10 points if you know which cables we need.

172
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:20,720
>> Uh, we need at least this. >> Wo, that's two points.

173
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,959
>> I know we need at least one of these. >> Two points.

174
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:26,480
>> No, there is no hard drive, so I don't think we need this. >> Two points.

175
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:30,560
>> Similar reasoning for this one. >> Two points. >> Okay. Yes.

176
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,600
>> Minus nine points. >> Okay. We don't need this is good. Yeah,

177
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:40,000
you won. >> I just thought nine's kind of a funny sounding number

178
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:41,839
>> cuz it's like no in German. So n would

179
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,399
be like yes. >> Yeah, but we're speaking English.

180
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:51,200
>> Well, some of us are. >> I mean, I'm I'm speaking here.

181
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Put it in. >> I'm set it up incorrectly, right?

182
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,040
>> No, you're actually right.

183
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,639
>> Thank you.

184
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,480
You doing okay back there? Oh >> yeah. You doing okay? You getting it out?

185
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:16,320
>> Trying to. >> You working on it? Is it going to come out? >> You You What are you doing, Lionus?

186
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:19,279
>> What? >> I I saw the screwdriver in your hand.

187
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,240
You tried to have my screwdriver in my hand. >> Nuhuh. What were you doing?

188
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,200
>> No, I was trying to help you. I was trying to kind of pry it, but I want you

189
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:31,120
to figure it out on your own. I want you to figure it out on your own. Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. You remove it.

190
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:36,720
So now power supply. >> Now power supply. Oh lordy.

191
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,560
>> No. No. No. H. >> Upside down.

192
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:42,399
>> No, it's not upside down.

193
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:46,800
Because why would you read it upside down?

194
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,560
>> That is a really good question, ASUS. Why would I read this upside down when I

195
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:54,639
install my power supply fan side down like this? That's a actually a legit

196
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,000
question. All this is upside down, too. But you can see that this is not. This

197
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:01,199
really does say more about me than it does about you. This is amazing. We

198
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:04,560
turned the camera off for like five minutes and you start doing things properly.

199
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,399
>> Sort of. >> I think it's your fault, Lionus. >> I mean, you're plugging them into the

200
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:15,040
right spots, but we're going to have to unplug them all because you didn't run them through the cable management holes.

201
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:17,839
Hey, there you go. Wait,

202
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:23,279
>> dude. Okay, aside from this looking like ass,

203
00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:28,639
we have to put the basement thing on. >> Oh, yeah. You actually cannot run this

204
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,320
cable like this. Here, I I I can do this this time.

205
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:36,199
>> Can you? >> Yes. Please let me try. I'll let you

206
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,199
try. Okay.

207
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:44,399
Nope. Wow. He didn't need to try. That was

208
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,040
only two attempts. That's by What would you like to do next?

209
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,680
>> Graphics card. >> Nope. Maybe when you're cooler, you'll be able

210
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:57,600
to figure it out. >> Oh, CPU cooler. Thank you, Lionus. So,

211
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:04,720
what kind of cooler do we have? We have an Asus ProArt liquid cooler. Man, that

212
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:08,079
is a pretty slick looking little rad.

213
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:11,360
Triple 140 mm fans. And not just any

214
00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:14,800
fans. I'm talking Noctua industrial PPC

215
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:17,600
2,000 RPM fans. Boom. They go on like

216
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,560
that. Oh, or like that. Or like that. Or like that. Four whole options. Now,

217
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:28,000
under normal circumstances, I would love to set this up in a pull configuration,

218
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,680
okay? So, that cleaning is simplified, but I don't think that Xavier is capable

219
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,720
of holding the radiator in place, threading the screws through the top of

220
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:39,519
the case, managing to line them up with the holes, all while having all of the

221
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:43,360
fans positioned and all of that. I'm just being honest. So, what we're going

222
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:47,600
to do is we're going to pre-attach the fans. Then, we're just going to screw

223
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:49,519
the rad into the case. And next time he goes to clean it, he can do it the fancy

224
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:56,320
way. >> I'm probably not going to clean it if we're being honest, Lionus.

225
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,920
>> Radiator goes in from the top in this case after you take out the mounting

226
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:04,160
bracket. And we're just going to do a quick checky boo here and see which way

227
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:09,839
we want the tubes going. I'm kind of feeling this vibe, but we could also go

228
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,000
with this vibe. Oh, I think I'm feeling that vibe better.

229
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:17,199
>> I also like that. >> And you know what?

230
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:21,839
This is pretty nice because this makes that really challenging thing I was

231
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,399
talking about before much much less

232
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:29,440
challenging. So, we could actually line everything up and install it the lower

233
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,279
maintenance way that I had wanted to.

234
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,880
Good job, Jesus. All right. Well, I'll tell you what. You can do the next part.

235
00:16:33,199 --> 00:16:39,120
Oh. Oh, hamsickles. The manual says to put

236
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:46,399
the radiator on top. >> Yeah, but I don't want to do that. cleaning it now because we're pulling

237
00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:48,320
air this way is as simple as just like

238
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:51,440
going like that on the radiator just to get all the cat hair off. Not that I'm

239
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:57,839
assuming you have a cat. >> I do not >> yet. Okay. Now, because it's not really

240
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,480
intended for the fans to be up here, there's no real way to get the cables

241
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:05,360
down. >> Are you cheating it?

242
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:08,640
>> Cheating? I would never cheat. Do I seem like the sort of man who would pull out

243
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:14,079
a thermal camera for a friendly game of hide-and-seek? Yes, he would.

244
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:19,959
>> Okay. Well, we'll figure this out, I think. Oh, that hurt.

245
00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:19,959
Okay.

246
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:28,679
Probably deserved that. Must have done something.

247
00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:28,679
Okay,

248
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:35,520
I got this. >> Okay. >> Can you go around to the other side if I pass it?

249
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:37,039
>> Yeah, I'm fine. Hit my knee pretty hard. Can you see it?

250
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,280
>> I can see it. >> Okay. I'm trying to grab it.

251
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:47,039
>> Uh-huh. >> I got it. >> Yeah. Okay, good. We got the dual eight

252
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:51,200
pins for the motherboard and our three fan cables all threaded through this

253
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:55,520
hole up here. Sick. And we only scuffed the heat sink a little. Now we just go

254
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,360
ahead and plug all these fans into our beautiful little integrated fan hub

255
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:04,320
here. Look at that. Just a little something like that. Beautiful. Gorgeous. What is this? What have you

256
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:11,440
been doing back here? Oh my god. What did you do? Oh, you ran the 24 pin

257
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,360
through this one wire on the 8 pin. Now

258
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:18,679
you can go ahead and put your CPU block/pump unit onto the CPU.

259
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:25,039
And that, my friends, is how you install the ASUS PRAAT

260
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:29,200
liquid cooler. Praert?

261
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:34,600
I mean P R O A R T. How would you pronounce that? Do you like fish or

262
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,600
something? Like prot's

263
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:45,200
fishy about this. >> Heck yeah. What's next? Graphics card.

264
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:49,440
>> Sure. That is a fine piece of GPU.

265
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,240
GeForce RTX 5080. 16 gigs of GDDDR

266
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:56,960
>> seven memory. All the CUDA cores that you could possibly imagine.

267
00:18:54,799 --> 00:19:00,160
>> Well, no, there's one with more. >> Yeah, but he couldn't imagine it. Look

268
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:06,000
at him. I have affantasia.

269
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:08,240
>> Triple fan design overclocked and all

270
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,080
the peels that you could possibly imagine. Well, if you could imagine

271
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:16,720
peels. You want to take them off? I would. I

272
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:20,480
do. Speaking of 4K, you got a new monitor as well. I think these are the

273
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,160
same ones the editors use. Do you need help installing the GPU?

274
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:26,799
>> I do not. No, I was uh waiting for Lions to get off the floor, but

275
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:31,360
>> you do need help. >> You're in charge of the video now. >> I am in charge. Yeah, you you you missed

276
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,919
something. What did I miss? >> No, no, let him do it. Let him do it. >> Okay. Sorry,

277
00:19:33,679 --> 00:19:39,600
>> Elijah. This is his video. Can you just like let him have his time to shine?

278
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,760
>> Sorry, sir. >> Lionus gave me a hint earlier. The GPU

279
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:47,919
is supposed to go in the top one because this could have been an issue. The uh

280
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,679
AIO. >> Nice. >> Oh, we got to remove these.

281
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:56,160
>> Sure do. See, he can do it.

282
00:19:53,679 --> 00:20:00,160
>> Sorry, sir. I have no idea how much of this is going to make it into the final

283
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:03,679
cut. LMG.G. GG/flat plane if you need to see more of this dumpster fire. Do you

284
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,840
have any idea what this is? I think it like goes on there or something. What?

285
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Oh, yeah. Look at that. So, you can have the ROG logo or you can just have like a

286
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:18,320
diffusion layer. I'm going to stick with the ROG logo. Thanks, ASUS ROG. You know

287
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:19,840
what? You did a great job. >> Thank you.

288
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:25,039
>> On something, I assume. >> Oh, >> no, no, no. You did.

289
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,360
>> This is This is perfect. Wicked. I got a good feeling about this. Xavier, you

290
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,760
want to plug this in at the back? >> Yes, I do. goes in the USB port.

291
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,520
>> The one shaped like a rectangle. >> Thank you. >> Oh, you never know.

292
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:38,880
>> Okay, come on around. It's time to do the honors.

293
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:42,280
>> Press the power button. >> Go for it.

294
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:54,799
That's a technique that I've perfected. The silent second switch.

295
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:58,240
Did we ever plug in those fans? Woo! There she goes. Do you want to turn the

296
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,200
monitor on so we can see if it powers up? Did you also plug in the HDMI or

297
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,400
DisplayPort cable? >> I did not. >> I did not hit her. >> Did not hit her.

298
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,799
>> That did not. >> I did not. Oh, hi Mark. >> Hi Mark.

299
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:17,120
>> Mark's shooting today. >> Okay, you ready? I am ready. 4K 160

300
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:23,200
hertz. You won't even be able to feel the pain anymore with that much hurts.

301
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,880
Turn on XMPP. Put that on.

302
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:32,840
Yep. You have a working computer.

303
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,840
>> That's awesome. Thank you, Asus.

304
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:41,919

00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:29,760
it. I'm going to play so much chess on that thing. If you guys enjoyed this

video, why don't you go check out our last ROG rig reboot from this year. It
