i've spent the last 11 years uploading videos to youtube in hopes that one day
i will build such an army of followers that i can look in the mirror and call
myself real cool one day you'll get there if you just if you just believe
you back about the job that you applied for that's okay i applied for a
different one and then i accidentally applied for one that i wasn't qualified for at all
but that was because i clicked on the wrong form what you don't know unless you try i did the same thing and i got
the job so that's okay all right wow
so this is it guys it's rog rig reboot 2019 where asus pays me to help people
build their computers but not to be nice about it that costs extra you ready to
get started yes all right let's do it you're slamming everything so
aggressively i'm like i'm oh my okay that's just a mouse it's fine
don't worry it's all very well packaged i believe you but i'm still frightened
that's okay that's just a mouse pad oh i feel so bad i don't actually feel bad
do we look beautiful david great fantastic my mom be proud of me i
don't know she doesn't know anything about computers she'll think i'm doing great regardless of what i do fantastic
why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself madison do i have to give my
full name should i give my social insurance number the government asked
for all that stuff for me we are the government oh my god can you guys give
me my work visa thanks bye i live in phoenix i actually hated it
i was born in calgary and raised in calgary and then i moved to phoenix it's
too hot there don't like it i graduated then i went
back to school and i'm doing freelance like graphic design and illustrating
because i like art and i'm like i better keep doing it so i get better at it my
computer is really bad so i can't really do any of that efficiently my computer
constantly turns on and off by itself which is kind of vaguely creepy it
malfunctions it breaks down games crash i try to do homework on it it's like oh
cool i open blender my computer's on fire time to stop using blender it's not
functional my friend told me about the rig reboot contest even though i've been
watching the channel and he was like oh like you should make a video and originally i wanted to do what everyone
did which is a rap video but then i realized i didn't want to be the cringy
person that did a rap video and then i realized that i could do like an
infomercial and then when i was doing the infomercial i just added things in
as i went which is probably not the most efficient way of making a video but it
worked so are you gonna actually game on this thing yes what is like the first
game you want to play on this computer i want to say rocket league but like i'm
terrified of the implications of saying rocket league do you think you can beat
riley at rocket league
absolutely not maybe i don't know
someone commented on my youtube video and was like this girl does art and she
wants a computer for gaming i don't get it and i was like well you can do
multiple things on a computer at once even can you photoshop on an xbox
no well yeah exactly have you ever at least
watched a guide on how to build a computer like technically yes 90 of the
class time was just taken up by the teacher showing us linus tech tip videos
every single class this was a night class and it was three hours long and we
would watch your videos for like two hours i'm like i can't believe this i hate lioness tech tips i hate i hate
this channel he's like i don't know the legality of this so like don't tell people that i'm just showing you youtube
you just did oh my gosh
we got quizzed on your videos it was really weird that's i've never heard of
that before that's so nuts surprise it was part of my curriculum and then i
started watching them like at home because we had to for homework go and
watch your youtube channel and then i realized that i didn't actually hate the
channel and i was like kind of in love with it all right well let's see how
effective a teaching tool i was oh now
this is going to be a reflection on you oh sh
all right so where do we start um the motherboard i'm going with the mother
telling me you're out no i'm telling you the motherboard we're taking this you only get to ask me three questions today
well that wasn't in like any email i got about this it's like meeting a professor
for the first time you're like i really want this person to think i'm smart and
cool but also i don't want to suck up to him do not i'm gonna assume
you didn't switch packaging and be like haha surprise this is actually the mouse
that's not the blender motherboard oh my god it's just for gaming wait i'm
i was like okay i'm back i'm back at it i'm back i was like i don't know if you
can i like no you could have two graphics cards does this just like pull
out i don't wanna oh i'm scared
oh you get like six decals yeah you can
be like don't disturb me mom i'm playing minecraft is it okay if like the boxes
get destroyed i don't know they're your boxes well what would you like to do
next um the cpu cool
uh i think wait that says i7 yeah that's
the cpu okay cool it's another puzzle
it's like a really weird escape room you escape into a digital world yeah
i can play second life now just kidding i don't want to play that game ever
that's awesome so this is a good spot to stop and say hey we've got a k series
processor so your motherboard happens to be overclocking capable so once we've
got it all assembled you'll be able to try their ai overclocking i'll get back
to you on that all right so let's go ahead and uh figure out how to install
it then shall we oh my god don't worry it won't fall
you say that but i have watched your videos i like to think i'm witty enough
to be like oh i can like fight back and make funny jokes and then you say stuff
like this says remove nope well it does say
removed it does but you like to move it yeah do you bend it out or does this
like entire thing move all right this is actually the riskiest part of building a
computer because inside the socket is oh
no over a thousand tiny little pins and
if you bend just one of those your motherboard can die this is the
worst escape room i've ever been to so it's down and out okay i did it
hooray uh all right i'm gonna give you a hint there's a dot yeah i'm gonna give
you a hint somewhere so do you see this dot and this dot and this dot and
this dot yeah everywhere where there is a dot here there should be no dot there
very intuitive system so you just hold the cpu in the middle
and that'll allow you to lower it in you just drop it it just sits in there old
ones didn't have that right like you had to like push it in uh well it depends
yeah really old ones like you know pentium 3
had like a slot i had like an old amd cpu because my dad used to like
computers and so i was like i was bending the pins and just like
letting them fall off where do we find these people the internet i was just
peeling the pins off of cp why it was
fun it was like a fidget toy like seven
it was in my closet no one was gonna use it okay that's significantly harder than when it
looked well that's the point oh but it's like are we sure
i know you've done this like a good billion times this is going to take us a
very long time if you don't trust me yes
this is like do we need this anymore
only if your motherboard dies and you need to rma oh okay then i can't eat
that what would you like to do next um i think you're supposed to put the
cooling thing on top but i don't know if that comes before or after ram we're
allowed to do things in any i really i realize that like i i want to do that
first you want to do the cooler yes okay
that's that's not a cooler
this is a cpu cooler but i thought it was a graphics card
yeah where is our graphics card yeah you didn't even know you're gonna be getting
an rtx 2070 super oh my god do you know
that that's really good that was actually just my fake oh my god for like
when you open a crappy christmas gift and you're like oh my god wow that's
convincing sucks i hope my kids don't get that good at lying oof you know you
cast a lot of shade for someone who needs my help right now i don't need
your help i just am lucky enough to have it i know you don't cast shade you throw
shade but here's a vent hook it up to your evac system hvac i
don't know what it's called run away
okay just gonna wow i think you're the first
person in rog rig reboot to crack open a manual
there aren't enough pictures in this we have the
the long boy asus if your product management team is taking any notes from
this video this is long boy specifically spelled
boi intel amd so are we doing is it amd
i think that says intel so we're using the intel mounting bracket yes which is
the x1 instead of the smaller x1 i can help you with this part
i'm glad that you're willing to help me with this is the hardest part yeah yeah
i don't need your help for the rest of it good when you pick up the motherboard you want to pick it up by places where
your fingers are not going to touch the actual printed circuit so over there and
just like from the side and then squish it really hard yeah as long as you like
i i would pick it up from here personally a joke oh it was a joke i'm
sorry big goof lightness so from the back of the board you know what no forget it
okay so from the back of the board uh you're gonna
i don't think it matters because this is this is it's the same on both sides
you're not my dad oh my god i certainly hope not i've been
13. oh my gosh this just says skip steps a and b so we're on socket
lga115x how do you just know that how do you know that kids say big oof cause i
go on the internet and they go big oof and i go oh they definitely don't say
big fortnite two just came out big hoof is back we mean fortnite too just fortnite
like fortnite like version two came out did you not go on twitter for like an
entire week big oof she thinks she's a comedian now
yeah i think that's what they call a big oof oh my god we go ahead we position this
on here and we put these nuts on all four of
those pegs got em forget it these nuts
got em
oh this little testy thing does it slide
nope okay so now we're gonna just continue doing this in a cross pattern
would leaving the twist ties in your machine be like a safety hazard nope because i know you
always use like the cool velcro ones to like cable manage that's just because
we need people to shop on lttstore.com which
it's nice i didn't know which arm it was on good job
i like want to say i have small fingers but i don't i have pretty small fingers too
kind of like for all being honest we also have hands that are small so
you did it thanks you're so welcome would you like
to peel the peel uh yes
seriously what there's a tab right here i literally looked for that and i
couldn't see it because of the reflection it looked like it was just part of it
at least you're more qualified than the people who do pc build guides on some
other youtube channels so now you're really you're really casting shade
all right i'm really glad you're just like plugging stuff in yeah seems easier
than talking to you about it
i was told very specifically i could do this however way i wanted i haven't
taken back my word what is this this is
ddr4 cool it lights up on top it does light
up actually pretty much everything in your system lights up because asus is
all about that you got that rsync you got that addressable rgb header you got
that regular rgb header it's rgb how do you put these improperly all right i'm
going to show you how to do that so in general you use the slots that are farthest away from the cpu but but not
the ones that are together so it's like that okay
now you do it oh push on it i am i'm like a little baby i
did it no i didn't i did it
you already have enough like building a computer with a cute little child videos
i think you don't need to post one calling me a baby no i'm a sexy little
boy don't what do we do next put it in the
box the case oh we could do that sure
your case is actually rog certified which means that you can expect it to
work properly with all your rgb lighting and all that cool stuff
we're gonna need to clear some space on the table probably now we just put these
on the floor it's free real estate
oh my god it's all glass
that's both terrifying and so sick it's gonna look so sleek
in my super clean room i believe your room is
probably clean it's so clean i'm gullible like you would yeah you
wouldn't believe how clean it is what if you put it under your desk and you accidentally kick it sometimes it
shatters and then you have glass all over your floor we've had it happen that's fine
so you got some side panels there we do i heard you like birds oh my gosh yes i
get two yeah i was just gonna be absolutely thrilled if i got one how do
i one of them's my creation and one of these boys i feel so special now oh i
want alex's on the front side that's mean
two birds two birds i'm just gonna constantly make
the two birds one stone joke now it's not really a joke so these are for your
front i o i'm i'm not gonna have wiggly usb ports now i'm not gonna share the
joke that i was gonna share because it's inappropriate and nintendo doesn't want
people to remember it see this is the mark of a child i am an adult i'm not
taking that date it's bull so they have the little worms that are called wigglers in mario and they were like
happy all right let's just oh man let's just
get this done i'm dying
rgb strips wait i get rgb strips you're
going to have so much rgb in this thing my mom is going to be pissed she'll be
like why is your room so bright i'll be like i'm opening my window for the first
time in forever why is the bag opened completely wrong
no no you were fine you're fine you're fine confidence
did someone just fart this is the problem with your generation
i don't even know what your generation is called you guys don't even have a name for your generation no you never
finished anything generation why did we bother i'm not hold on i'll
move the world okay you're good thank you that's the nicest thing you've ever said
to me i have manners occasionally nice
it's in good job all right so we're gonna put in nine screws
yay one step closer to putting you back on a plane oh this is great we forgot to
do the peel on the back of the i o shield
okay it came off clean very nice so i am suggesting that we go
this way and then the fans mounted and turned to
the radiator in a pole configuration okay
is this another thing where you tighten them one at a time to make sure that
you've tightened them properly and that you're not gonna like break it no it's not a big deal because
i've already threaded them all in okay for you so this is more like
your dad started all the nails and you just get to play with the hammer funny
you think my dad even let me play with the hammer i thought you were maybe
going somewhere much darker with that oh honey you thought my dad even loved me
you know like i'm adopted my original dad didn't oh bummer
hey mom do you love me text me later wait what was the you said you said like
cross coal santa claus something uh like
you were like you put it on and i think it was like that but i don't know okay
yeah don't don't worry about the terminology i think that's a lost cause at this point
do you want to know yeah okay so we're in a poll configuration oh pull like
p-u-l-l like the north pole that's why i made the santa claus now we're
communicating across generations here so we just need these two thumb screws
where who oh that was pretty easy i guess yeah i
think you were just putting in the wrong hole
seriously it's not often i end up on set with someone who's less mature than me ah
there's cables behind us cpu's in rams in motherboards in coolers in
what do you want to do next um
go for it and it's platinum and it's thor and i just dropped it it
even has a little oled screen on it that tells you how much power it's consuming
unfortunately it also has plastic wrap
on it which means that you can't safely open it yourself you're underage
yeah this has a 10 year warranty so it's basically gonna last as long as
you've been alive anyway i'm like 20. so it's a fully modular
power supply which means you only plug in the cables that you need oh cool so
that's gonna be another thing i don't know what to pick for well in that sense
you are getting the hang of this whole process oh oh it's like
actually really cool looking oh it's like oh this side is really cool too
oh oh oh
it's done good it's in there job oh they're blue
i asked for blue when i emailed you guys minus tech tips really does care
i have no clue which one of these to use do you want to take some guesses just
for fun kind of could play a fun game oh is it the line that says no game do they
not just connect to this the power cube
the tesseract they don't just connect to that didn't you say you watched like the
other rg rig reboot videos i went through this with all of them
it would be so much faster if i just built this computer for you yeah but
that wouldn't be half as fun we need a molex cable it's funny does it go
underground molex this is going to validate all the
people that are constantly posting on your videos being a little rgb for kids
because you are so legitimately excited about it like 18 times in this video
and you like rgb that's what i said validation for those people
great it just sits on it right like it doesn't click in what like should it be
pressed further than that yes okay
so tendency
no i'm good thank you sure yeah yeah yeah well that coupon code is for a
discount you say coupon
it's coupon the u comes after the o
it's not coupon it's not spelled q-u-e-u-e
it's coupon you want the computer or not i'll give
you a coupon for it i put like a cookie in there you could
put a cookie in there yeah forget about it and then go oh god
uh so that but not that but like the
version of this that's going in my computer that's why you hit it it's your
fault i didn't hide anything under a bunch of stuff if i'm using the boxes as
context clues and one of the boxes is hiding how am i supposed to use it as a
clue so you've got a couple of drives here um this sort of happened by
accident but you've got a one terabyte and then like a 500 gig
drive normally we would have one m.2 one
and then one slower sata one or like a hard drive or something but you got
these two so sick yeah ten points to gryffindor if
you can figure out where the it's in the computer now you have to unscrew something well i
told you i was going to show you where it went but you really wanted to use context clues yeah i like context
clothes were hidden from me well yeah but you wanted to do it
people who call me maddie are like oh my god maddie i'm like stop it
you don't know my brother calls me m-dog hey guys i'm m-dog here's my
new rap album it's fire
okay so you kind of push it in oh do you and then you just pop it down like that
oh and then there's a screw after yep
so then you just screw that in nice
i didn't do anything it wasn't me oh that's right i forgot this one has a
bit of a different mounting system can you think of one more thing we need to
install still googly eyes to the front and back so this thing yeah
oh uh john do i have to put this in this
motherboard has like two rgb headers on it how are you
supposed to outshine the competition okay fine we'll put it in because it
does come with more rgb strips rgb it will be a beacon if it's gonna be bright
it might as well be bright okay so uh there's your rgb terminal why do you
slam stuff so aggressively i'm making sure that it's uh durable it's like a
stress test like if it was gonna break with just like being put down hard on
the table once would you want it if you put your baby down very
aggressively it could break you probably still want your baby i'm assuming that
depends i mean i mean how'd that work out for you
oh that's the biggest oof of this entire time look you started it you can't walk
into that and then not expect someone to take you up on this looks like it
doesn't even go in a computer okay i actually feel badass no it's fine so you
can either put it on your desk and like put rgb strips all over your workspace
or you can put it inside your computer and put rgb strips all over the inside
of your computer yeah i'm taking these off because we
tried to glue this thing to the case with the other one yesterday there we go
so those are yours now oh sick
what's up
i'm like that one rocket league thing you can have
so here's the plan
seriously oh no you have got to be kidding me
how are you supposed to attach this to anything with the strips they give you i
mean the great strips they give you madison just had a brilliant idea
we are just going to glue magnets to the case that's not even my college
education that's just when you when you have a magnet it comes
out of the earth and there's like different magnets don't know
heard of them there's like neodymium uh that might be type of battery scientists
don't know how it works oh oh my finger my finger hurts no
smoking um is that dead skin or glue get that
well it's not the finest cable management i've ever done but it's good
enough for you this is what is going to power
your minecraft blender gaming only let's play
minecraft wow
i didn't know that that was a minecraft stereotype i'll supervise thank you a
little higher it's a rite of passage every gamer has
to put in their own graphics card i cannot do it i did it i think maybe let
me double check looks good to me yay good job the last
stage we need to plug in the power cables for our graphics card it's got
two auxiliary power connectors here turns out they are both eight pins so i did go grab a different cable there
sick these ones are directional i just wanted to point out it does say
psu on one side which we've clearly gone over is important
no it says it on the it says it on that one wait it does say that yeah no i was
right what the crap this is a second a pin cable
wow it's a good thing you were here
what can i say i'm amazing now it's time for the big reveal i
haven't actually seen these yet so hold on a second we have to we need to cover
your eyes okay let's do the front first
front yeah no not that one not that one wait hold on
oh boy uh okay let's go with oh wow yeah um let's go
with the back first okay look now you sure can
oh my god i love it so much
just remember screw it in don't screw it up okay
it's flexing a little we're just gonna roll with it okay go
ahead look yet yeah i guess
it's perfect i would have preferred more of a french
oof you know like an egg i was gonna say
big earth fyi this is the uh
reference so it looks like the def lepper font
did you say def lepper yeah i'm sorry jeff leopard
i'm gonna unbox the monitor so it's 144 hertz if you're into like actually you
know doing better in your games it supports variable refresh rate and
it's got rgb it could be one whole pixel and i'd be like oh but it changes colors
winner i mean isn't that basically what this is
and these are these are worth money
how do i turn this off okay so while she's busy over there
i'm swapping out
oh yeah it's a curved monitor i didn't mention that did i no
that's so sick so this is what we call the moment of
truth yes where we find out if everything that we just worked on
actually functions or not yes would you like to do the honors sure
all right go ahead and flip that switch
that's so cool oh my god
if you just like had the panels completely covered people would think there was nothing in this computer
there we go nice can i switch the sides that these
are on no okay there we go wait there's a it's a bird
there's a bird under the monitor
what it's drawn out with sharpie you can see
the sharpie marks oh my god i love it oh
my god i get windows i won't have the little thing that says
please activate windows what do you want to play first overwatch or rocket league
uh well rocket league needs a controller so overwatch probably all right let's do
it i'm so upset i've had such a bad
computer for so long now because this is great and i'm like wow you know i i i
was like oh yeah it'll be like nicer graphics and maybe run a little bit it's just amazing how much of a difference it
actually makes where i'm like oh i can tell where i'm walking
and i'm there immediately and it's not like i'm i'm walking and then i suddenly
have clipped through a wall because i actually walked around it but i didn't know
and the craziest part of all this is overwatch is
not exactly a demanding workload for
this machine so with a 2070 super in there you can run pretty much any game
like this now i won't even have to worry like when i buy a game i can just like i
know my computer will run it it'll be fine pretty much yup even if you wanted to
play blender you could even do that i don't have a response for that joke
anymore well now la mao did you just say no someone said
someone else said the mao she just said
la mao what la mao i have never heard
that in my life i hate it it's easier than saying lmao not everything is about
ease that's your generation's excuse for having poor punctuation actually that's
my generation's excuse for having poor punctuation you know what it doesn't matter thanks for watching rog rig
