WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.600
The last ASUS ROG rig reboot brought to you by ASUS went pretty well. We built

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.160
him a computer. He was entertaining on camera and boom, beautiful video for you

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.400
to enjoy. Uh, this one might be a little more challenging. See, Xavier here needs

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.880
a new computer for 3D animation, which is great. We can use ASUS's entire pro

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.960
art lineup to build him a sick rendering machine. Unfortunately, based on his

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.439
submission, it seems he can't speak. He only knows how to communicate in the

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.439
style of silent movie.

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.

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.680
>> Okay, we can drop the silent act now.

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:48.680
Fine. Sorry.

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

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

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.119
helpers. >> Okay. >> Co-hosts. Have you ever built a computer

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.920
before scratch? >> Really? >> I have built

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

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.680
performed surgery. I swapped my brother's and my own

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.360
>> motherboard and CPU and RAM. So, I don't

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.520
necessarily consider that a full build, but >> it did kind of happen.

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.200
>> So, that was the one and a half. >> Yes. Well, that was the half.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.720
>> Let's start with the CPU. >> Okay. >> Because this is more of a creator PC,

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:40.240
right? You're doing some 3D rendering, animation,

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?

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.200
>> Uh, you're not going to like this. Minecraft.

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:53.680
>> I like that. Minecraft. >> Well, it's not like it's needs this.

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

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:01.840
the Z890 Creator Wi-Fi from Asus. This

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:05.119
is part of their ProArt lineup. >> Can I ask how much it costs?

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.

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.400
>> $500. >> $500.

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:20.480
$500. >> Is that too much? No, not for you. I

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:23.680
mean, after that incredible submission, by the way, I love that the chair

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

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

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.800
finish the submission. >> Can we lose the hats now? >> Yes, you can lose the hats now.

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

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

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:48.640
mean, it's locked in now, but >> yeah, too late. Uh, I'm planning to use

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:53.200
Premiere Pro, Photoshop, I am a video editor currently, and also Blender and

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:56.239
Maya because I want to go into 3D animation.

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.959
>> Okay, very cool. This will actually be a perfect choice for you then because in

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

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.640
efficiency course so you can spread out your workload across all of the well,

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.519
the course. >> Okay. I've also heard that Intel is

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.959
pretty good with reliability in Creative Suite apps. >> I don't know about reliability, but what

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

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.040
platform, they strongly recommend Intel on the consumer side.

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:26.319
>> Well, then it's a great choice. >> A great choice to go on our ProArt Z890.

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.

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.720
>> I don't know which way it goes. >> Oh, there's a hint.

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.760
>> Yeah, I I bet there is. Oh, maybe this the notches. Let's see.

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.239
>> Sure. No, the corner. >> Sure. >> Yes, the Wait,

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.720
>> it's amazing how many people watch our channel for years and still don't know

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:47.120
how to build a computer at all.

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

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.760
way. >> I am backwards. >> Oh, yeah. >> No, no. The CPU was right. You're

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

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:02.319
the socket. Uh, okay. It still looks good.

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:07.120
>> That was on you, Lionus. >> Is he joking? Is he not joking? You'll

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.120
never know until your computer's dead. >> I'm probably doing it right. Right.

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:14.720
>> Watching you work on this is so tempting to leap in and rescue you.

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:17.040
>> Did I That's supposed to come off.

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.

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:29.520
>> How hard were you pushing? >> Oh my god, this arm is like flexing.

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.840
>> No, no, it's fine. >> We're playing those kinds of games.

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:34.960
>> Oh yes. >> Oh yes. Okay. Can we do the peel now?

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:42.800
>> Absolutely. >> Okay. >> Oh, not that one. >> No, you're messing with me again.

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:45.040
>> Ooh, nice. IO. Got them dual Thunderbolt

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:50.639
ports. Wait, what the hell? Are there three Thunderbolt ports on this board?

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.440
There are three. Not to mention 10 gig

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:58.800
networking, 10 gig USB, and 2 and 1/2 gig networking for good measure. Not to

00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:01.840
mention Wi-Fi 7. Oh, sick. This has the

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.240
like proper Thunderbolt. So you can see

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.

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:14.080
So you go out from your GPU right into there. And then your Thunderbolt port on

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:20.479
the back of the board is actually using the DisplayPort from your GPU instead

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.039
of having to go through the PCIe bus and

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:26.720
then output over the like um integrated graphics. It's basically a little bit

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.880
better for performance if you're outputting a display over Thunderbolt to

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:35.520
a dock or to a Thunderbolt monitor. >> I'm glad you explained that because I

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:37.199
barely understood any of it.

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:42.080
>> This good, good. Why don't we put our SSD in

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:47.600
and I can show you where all the slots are. >> ltstore.com.

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.240
>> Nice. Did you make that before you came over here? >> I did.

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

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.

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:08.240
>> Hey, thank you. >> Look at that. Four M.2 slots. You can

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:09.680
fit so much M.2 in this bad boy. Don't

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

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:19.759
fifth one. Good gravy. Now, we get to play a really

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:22.400
fun game. Which slot do you think it goes in? Remember, they're gonna judge

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:27.520
you. >> Yes, they are. How about the cool one?

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:30.880
This one? Wrong. >> The reason it's wrong is that this is a

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.440
PCIe >> Gen 3 >> SSD. And this is your only PCIe Gen 5

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

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:44.800
want to put it in here. >> So, did I say the only wrong answer?

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:48.560
>> Mhm. >> That's great. >> Realistically, it's more about

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.400
convenience, though. If you were to put this here and then go to expand your

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.840
storage with a Gen 5 drive later, you would have to take out your GPU, lift

00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:01.360
this off, put this one in here, then install the other one. Whereas now, you

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.160
can just already have this down here and you can put your new SSD in without

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

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:11.599
anytime. Looks like some kind of clever little toolless mechanism.

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:15.840
>> Toolless. Okay. >> Yep. They didn't count on us being here.

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:20.800
>> Oh, I think I got it. >> Thank you for that.

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:27.759
Hey, nice. Stop. I'll give you a hint. Read. Read.

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:30.080
Okay. Oh, I'm supposed to peel those off.

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:34.560
>> Okay. >> Don't worry. It's only millions of people who are going to watch.

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.

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:48.800
>> Okay. Even though it was the wrong one, is it really detrimental to remove them

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.680
all? Yeah, because any of the dust and junk that's floating around in your

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.039
computer will get stuck to them. >> Okay, >> which probably doesn't matter.

00:07:53.440 --> 00:08:00.000
>> Okay. Well, I'm going to remove the correct one this time.

00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:02.639
>> Let's do that. Also, I do think that

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.400
this is at least partially on ASUS. Do they really need to have all their

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:11.039
branding in there under a heat sink? Could they just have a giant remove on

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:13.520
this? Might make it a little easier for first-time builders. I know they

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

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:23.919
real. And that was like just step one.

00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:25.360
>> Oh yeah. Where you from? >> Chicago.

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

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.599
American city stereotypes. Hey, I'm from

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.479
Chicago. I'm walking here. Who the knows? I don't know. >> That's New York.

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:40.800
>> Yes. >> We've gone with some 6,000 mega transfer

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.720
per second vengeance memory from Corsair. And you got 32 gigs. So, go

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

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:54.399
the CPU is the correct one and then skip and then next.

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.720
>> That is a smart assumption.

00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:00.320
>> Too bad it's wrong. >> Nope.

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:05.519
>> Yes. >> Yeah, buddy. >> So, what's next?

00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:10.800
>> You think you can lift that? >> No. All right, I'll give you a hand.

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:17.000
>> Oh, that was that was a joke. Thank you, Lionus.

00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:17.000
You are doing it wrong though.

00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:22.560
>> I want to tip it sideways. >> Nope. >> No.

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.720
Look down. >> What? Right there.

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:31.240
That there. You're literally The instructions are right there. >> Oh, thank you.

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:39.040
>> In Xavier's defense, I have made this mistake so many times with so much

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:43.440
larger, more cumbersome items, and you guys have been just as mean to me in the

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:47.920
comments. So, I'm paying it forward, you could say. You ready to see your new

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:55.760
rendering machine? I am. Let's render it to your eyeballs. Oh, it's black wood.

00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:56.800
That looks sick. It's subtle. Just a

00:09:55.760 --> 00:10:02.279
little bit of wood grain. >> I thought it was metal at first.

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:02.279
>> Kind of gorgeous.

00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:07.600
>> Hey, progress. >> Progress. You showed me how, so it's

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

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:17.279
short. >> Yeah, I'm like 5'2.

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:21.440
>> You What? Wow. Elijah, where do you find

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:25.680
these guys? Why are they all mean to me? I have done nothing to deserve this.

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:29.120
>> Have you used a screwdriver before? >> What kind of name is Xavier?

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,

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:40.120
>> dude. Check this out.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.120
They see me rolling.

00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:49.440
Sorry, boy. Afraid we're going to have to put you down. Wow, those are big

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:55.079
fans. What are these? 200 mil. What's that in freedom units? Like half a

00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:55.079
gallon, maybe.

00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:02.000
>> The way you're throwing this.

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,

00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:10.000
are you planning to route all the cables like through the bottom of the case to

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:13.519
the back of the motherboard? >> Oh,

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.240
my god. This is so much better. Wow, that's

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:21.600
nice. Thanks, ASUS. They got little labels on my baggies. I don't have to

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:25.800
guess what kind of threading there is on the standoffs. Those

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.

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.

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

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:48.720
can actually get at ltstore.com, our new transparent. So, we want to start it

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.480
with the nurling and finish off with the ratchet.

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?

00:11:55.040 --> 00:12:02.079
Power supply. >> Sure. >> That is the power supply.

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

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:12.560
Platinum unit. It's efficient. It plugs into the wall. It's modular. What else

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:15.760
could you want? I'll give you 10 points if you know which cables we need.

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:20.720
>> Uh, we need at least this. >> Wo, that's two points.

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.959
>> I know we need at least one of these. >> Two points.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:26.480
>> No, there is no hard drive, so I don't think we need this. >> Two points.

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.560
>> Similar reasoning for this one. >> Two points. >> Okay. Yes.

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.600
>> Minus nine points. >> Okay. We don't need this is good. Yeah,

00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:40.000
you won. >> I just thought nine's kind of a funny sounding number

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:41.839
>> cuz it's like no in German. So n would

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:46.399
be like yes. >> Yeah, but we're speaking English.

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:51.200
>> Well, some of us are. >> I mean, I'm I'm speaking here.

00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:58.040
Put it in. >> I'm set it up incorrectly, right?

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.040
>> No, you're actually right.

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:02.639
>> Thank you.

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.480
You doing okay back there? Oh >> yeah. You doing okay? You getting it out?

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?

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:19.279
>> What? >> I I saw the screwdriver in your hand.

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:22.240
You tried to have my screwdriver in my hand. >> Nuhuh. What were you doing?

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

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.

00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:36.720
So now power supply. >> Now power supply. Oh lordy.

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:40.560
>> No. No. No. H. >> Upside down.

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:42.399
>> No, it's not upside down.

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:46.800
Because why would you read it upside down?

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:50.560
>> That is a really good question, ASUS. Why would I read this upside down when I

00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:54.639
install my power supply fan side down like this? That's a actually a legit

00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.000
question. All this is upside down, too. But you can see that this is not. This

00:13:56.560 --> 00:14:01.199
really does say more about me than it does about you. This is amazing. We

00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:04.560
turned the camera off for like five minutes and you start doing things properly.

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

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.

00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:17.839
Hey, there you go. Wait,

00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:23.279
>> dude. Okay, aside from this looking like ass,

00:14:20.959 --> 00:14:28.639
we have to put the basement thing on. >> Oh, yeah. You actually cannot run this

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:30.320
cable like this. Here, I I I can do this this time.

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:36.199
>> Can you? >> Yes. Please let me try. I'll let you

00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:36.199
try. Okay.

00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:44.399
Nope. Wow. He didn't need to try. That was

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.040
only two attempts. That's by What would you like to do next?

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.680
>> Graphics card. >> Nope. Maybe when you're cooler, you'll be able

00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:57.600
to figure it out. >> Oh, CPU cooler. Thank you, Lionus. So,

00:14:55.040 --> 00:15:04.720
what kind of cooler do we have? We have an Asus ProArt liquid cooler. Man, that

00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:08.079
is a pretty slick looking little rad.

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:11.360
Triple 140 mm fans. And not just any

00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:14.800
fans. I'm talking Noctua industrial PPC

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:17.600
2,000 RPM fans. Boom. They go on like

00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:22.560
that. Oh, or like that. Or like that. Or like that. Four whole options. Now,

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:28.000
under normal circumstances, I would love to set this up in a pull configuration,

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:31.680
okay? So, that cleaning is simplified, but I don't think that Xavier is capable

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.720
of holding the radiator in place, threading the screws through the top of

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.519
the case, managing to line them up with the holes, all while having all of the

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:43.360
fans positioned and all of that. I'm just being honest. So, what we're going

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

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

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:56.320
way. >> I'm probably not going to clean it if we're being honest, Lionus.

00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:59.920
>> Radiator goes in from the top in this case after you take out the mounting

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

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

00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:12.000
with this vibe. Oh, I think I'm feeling that vibe better.

00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:17.199
>> I also like that. >> And you know what?

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:21.839
This is pretty nice because this makes that really challenging thing I was

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:24.399
talking about before much much less

00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:29.440
challenging. So, we could actually line everything up and install it the lower

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:31.279
maintenance way that I had wanted to.

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.

00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:39.120
Oh. Oh, hamsickles. The manual says to put

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

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:48.320
air this way is as simple as just like

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

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:57.839
assuming you have a cat. >> I do not >> yet. Okay. Now, because it's not really

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

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:05.360
down. >> Are you cheating it?

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

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:14.079
a thermal camera for a friendly game of hide-and-seek? Yes, he would.

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:19.959
>> Okay. Well, we'll figure this out, I think. Oh, that hurt.

00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:19.959
Okay.

00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:28.679
Probably deserved that. Must have done something.

00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:28.679
Okay,

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:35.520
I got this. >> Okay. >> Can you go around to the other side if I pass it?

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:37.039
>> Yeah, I'm fine. Hit my knee pretty hard. Can you see it?

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:41.280
>> I can see it. >> Okay. I'm trying to grab it.

00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:47.039
>> Uh-huh. >> I got it. >> Yeah. Okay, good. We got the dual eight

00:17:45.360 --> 00:17:51.200
pins for the motherboard and our three fan cables all threaded through this

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

00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:59.360
ahead and plug all these fans into our beautiful little integrated fan hub

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

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

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.360
through this one wire on the 8 pin. Now

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:18.679
you can go ahead and put your CPU block/pump unit onto the CPU.

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.039
And that, my friends, is how you install the ASUS PRAAT

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:29.200
liquid cooler. Praert?

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

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.600
something? Like prot's

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:45.200
fishy about this. >> Heck yeah. What's next? Graphics card.

00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:49.440
>> Sure. That is a fine piece of GPU.

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.240
GeForce RTX 5080. 16 gigs of GDDDR

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:56.960
>> seven memory. All the CUDA cores that you could possibly imagine.

00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:00.160
>> Well, no, there's one with more. >> Yeah, but he couldn't imagine it. Look

00:18:58.320 --> 00:19:06.000
at him. I have affantasia.

00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:08.240
>> Triple fan design overclocked and all

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:12.080
the peels that you could possibly imagine. Well, if you could imagine

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:16.720
peels. You want to take them off? I would. I

00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:20.480
do. Speaking of 4K, you got a new monitor as well. I think these are the

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:24.160
same ones the editors use. Do you need help installing the GPU?

00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:26.799
>> I do not. No, I was uh waiting for Lions to get off the floor, but

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

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,

00:19:33.679 --> 00:19:39.600
>> Elijah. This is his video. Can you just like let him have his time to shine?

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:43.760
>> Sorry, sir. >> Lionus gave me a hint earlier. The GPU

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

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:51.679
AIO. >> Nice. >> Oh, we got to remove these.

00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:56.160
>> Sure do. See, he can do it.

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

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

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:07.840
have any idea what this is? I think it like goes on there or something. What?

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

00:20:09.919 --> 00:20:18.320
diffusion layer. I'm going to stick with the ROG logo. Thanks, ASUS ROG. You know

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:19.840
what? You did a great job. >> Thank you.

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:25.039
>> On something, I assume. >> Oh, >> no, no, no. You did.

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.360
>> This is This is perfect. Wicked. I got a good feeling about this. Xavier, you

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:31.760
want to plug this in at the back? >> Yes, I do. goes in the USB port.

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:35.520
>> The one shaped like a rectangle. >> Thank you. >> Oh, you never know.

00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:38.880
>> Okay, come on around. It's time to do the honors.

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:42.280
>> Press the power button. >> Go for it.

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:54.799
That's a technique that I've perfected. The silent second switch.

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

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

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.400
DisplayPort cable? >> I did not. >> I did not hit her. >> Did not hit her.

00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:08.799
>> That did not. >> I did not. Oh, hi Mark. >> Hi Mark.

00:21:07.520 --> 00:21:17.120
>> Mark's shooting today. >> Okay, you ready? I am ready. 4K 160

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:23.200
hertz. You won't even be able to feel the pain anymore with that much hurts.

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:24.880
Turn on XMPP. Put that on.

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:32.840
Yep. You have a working computer.

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:32.840
>> That's awesome. Thank you, Asus.

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:41.919
>> This is so awkward. >> Yes. Fan controls all working. She's

00:21:39.919 --> 00:21:46.720
buttoning up real nicely now that we've got the bottom shroud in. Dude, that is

00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:48.799
a nice looking build. Good job, Elijah. >> I do my best.

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:56.320
>> Can I take that off? >> No, that's ASUS's marketing. 98% DCIP3

00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.559
>> Yeah, but I can't see like half the UI. >> Okay, well now we can take it off cuz I

00:22:03.840 --> 00:22:08.159
read it. >> Uh, render render image.

00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:12.960
>> Mhm. >> 8 seconds for that. >> Yeah, most of it was spooling up.

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:18.000
>> I mean, that's still pretty crazy. >> Yep. >> This computer is literally too fast for

00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:21.120
the BMW blend to be like really meaningful.

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.120
>> I mean, I animate. I render in Blender, so this is

00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:27.120
>> Okay. Do something then. >> I want a big robot, too. >> You want You want a big robot? Sure.

00:22:25.280 --> 00:22:30.240
>> I want a big robot. Nice. Yeah. Give him Give him two of them. Make it a big

00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:37.039
buttocks. >> Nice. >> Okay, go ahead. You can render me.

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:41.679
>> It literally looks like Among Us. 25 seconds for this scene is phenomenal. I

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:43.200
This is crazy. Uh way better than my old PC.

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:50.480
>> You said you were going to do a little bit of gaming as well. Do you want to touch some games? >> Yes. Man, these freaking fans, Elijah,

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:55.600
they freaking go. Like, I'm sitting here and I'm like, "My eyes are cold." I

00:22:52.720 --> 00:23:01.120
don't hear them at all. Jibus.

00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:02.559
Yes. Right. Exactly.

00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:06.320
What did you do to him? >> Uh, I mean, it was a minivan driver.

00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:10.799
They probably deserved it. Oh, roll over. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:13.679
>> Is this where we're supposed to arrive to? >> Yes. >> Okay. And it doesn't matter what kind of

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:21.760
condition we're in. >> No, it doesn't. I won >> just like you won this computer courtesy

00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:26.240
of Asus ROG. This bad boy has got so much Blender in

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

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:35.760
video, why don't you go check out our last ROG rig reboot from this year. It

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:40.720
somehow was almost as awkward. My Little Pony was involved.

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:44.000
>> Oh, thanks ASUS. Thanks ASUS for

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.000
sponsoring this video.
