oh every time i drink water it's like a product placement
yes this is i hope it's a typo olivier
is it a w it's a typo good olivier
so i'm oliver i'm from australia i'm actually from poland so i don't know
what to say because i don't want people to oh that's
fair okay the thing is if you search my name up
like i'm the only person with the name so so yeah
cool he's here all the way from the great
land of down under australia and he is
the winner of our toughest
gaming rig yet
jesus something something descendants of criminals and all that good stuff let's
get started what are we doing so oh i see what you
did
so wait so sorry you got confused when i said lot etc etc i descended from
criminals like yeah i'm not very good at references so wait sorry you don't know
that stereotype stereotype what is it for australians or something yeah i'm
not australian i'm polish you are yeah
oh well wait what's this accent then uh
it's like a mix of it like polish and australian okay all right okay all right
okay how i became a fan of LTT i have no idea it just kind of eased in i guess um
i saw a few videos you guys started doing really ridiculous crap that nobody
else is doing like 10 games one CPU and whatnot i decided to sign up for float
plane uh this is another one of those questions where i don't really know the reason why it just kind of felt natural
to do it like i already watched heaps of your videos and i just kind of thought
you know it makes sense to support you guys like netflix is a paid subscription
youtube seems like a free thing and i just why not support you guys through
Floatplane and get access to the videos much sooner as well so it's a win-win
either way well let's build a computer shall we cool have you ever done this
before uh kind of but not with hardware like this mainly like pre-built
computers that are easy to like put back together you know what i mean okay so
when i asked if you've built a computer before and you say yes but it's pretty
big it depends so i have taken apart pre-built computers in the past but
that's pre-built computers everything just kind of fits into place only a
certain way when it comes to building a computer straight up from like new parts
i have not done that before so this is a completely new experience for me okay
let's say no let's go with that all right so let's go ahead and lay out all
the parts we've got so we've got a tough heatsink tough SSD tough motherboard the
theme of the build is tough all right tough yes oh jesus that's tough tough
mouse pad tough headset tough keyboard tough
gaming monitor tough mouse look it's not a question of how much stuff we have
this is more of a question of how much stuff you are taking home because all of
this is a lot of stuff goes together from what i've seen from the past few
years the machines were pretty beefy and i think that's exactly what we're going
to end up getting so i'm a full-time student one day i aspire to do
photography uh it's probably going to end up changing as it always does but
that's kind of the career path i want to go in so olivier here has said that just
call me oliver oliver oh ollie keep it simple ollie ollie you don't you don't
like olivier no okay so ollie here says
that aside from gaming he's actually got another passion so what do you want to
do with this machine i mainly want to put it for the use of you know editing
photos and stuff like that retouching and yeah mainly creative work so very
cool okay so conveniently that monitor happens to use an ips panel so you will
actually be able to use it for those things as well but first you have to
complete the rite of passage you have to actually build the machine
wish me luck yeah i mean where do you start well
let's go for the motherboard of course that's where we start that's a keyboard
yeah i know i'm looking right there it's cool any thoughts of going in before
meeting and building a computer with Linus i don't know what to expect i feel
like there's going to be a lot of beef going on Linus is going to be trying to
making fun of me and we're going to be going back and forth you know how it goes okay great now ollie i know you had
said you wanted a minimalistic design um
we didn't manage to pull that off it's all good all right we got a 9th gen i7 i
have no idea how many cores or whatever this thing has 9 700 cases 97.8
eight threads super fast it's gonna rip through pretty much everything games
photo editing video editing you name it as long as you don't break it in the
next couple of minutes there we go all right you got this so
have you ever installed a CPU before no okay cool that changes today
what could possibly go wrong i mean you have insurance right
for this no oh okay cool yeah of course not no if you break your computer it's
broken i think he thinks i'm joking no you're
not you know if you break it it's broken don't worry though it's tough
so we're going to line up our arrow with our dot
no force whatsoever obi-wan
need not be summoned for this task
what CPU is now installed all right well that's done let's do the RAM nope
all right go for it okay oh boy oh that was janky hey
there it is what's next i don't know it's good for RAM sure the tough RAM go for it
do you think you can handle this on your own you seem honestly you seem pretty
confident you're saying you're nervous come on click in
that was so unsatisfying well it's 32 gigs of RAM does that help with the
satisfaction yes it does dude one for every chrome tab i
love it my mum's so disappointed in me right now
kind of can't even click the RAM in properly it's like the easiest part nah you're
good you got it all right 32 gigs of RGB
RAM just like that what's next uh
i don't know whether we put the cooler on now or something or you can do it in
whatever order you want that's the way that it is it's the power supply it is
and i'm just here to we could do the power supply now if you want sure don't
be the dumbest idea i could come up with something dumber if you'd like all right
another one of these boxes that you don't know how on earth to open
thank you here's our weird knife sorry that our canadian knives are too weird
for you it's all good they're sharper than what we have no i thought that
australia is like the land of now that's a knife you know i'm going to use this
to pry the box open because my fingers are not that small
so now we just follow the order of operations
so back plate goes on the back all right do we build on top of this thing or do
we like yeah sure why not okay cool well i'm asking you what the right way to do
it is you put the motherboard on top of that
you put the motherboard on top of that are you crazy you just dumped the
motherboard i said don't know there's no way you do oh that's the bottom part you
put the motherboard oh i get it on top of that
give it a bit more than that a bit more yeah a bit more that's good that's good
that's good oh wow okay you got to kind of wipe it
okay all right all right oh god
oh okay you have to have it centered is it
sensitive i mean it should be look okay just just stop stop stop fussing with it
first it's fine are you going to tighten it down yeah you're looking at me like
i'm doing something wrong i'm probably just slow that's all not the best at
screwing don't take that the wrong way
there's only one way to take that that's what she said
oh boy is that tight enough for you
yeah all right until it falls off that's what she said okay all right so the next
thing we're going to do is we're going to install these handy dandy little fan
mounts so basically you put these on both sides
and then these guys stick in there see that oh do they just sit like this
so they have to push them through all the way no you need to pull them through all the way okay it's easier to pull
from the back than to push from the front
look you can tell he's judging me look at him
look away the other way i'm doing stuff thank you
see i feel so much more confident now he's gonna like this better until he
breaks something that's a bit janky is it meant to be like that it doesn't
really matter okay that's the lionesses motor
it's your computer what do i care all right what's next then cool i guess we
like throw it in the case now or something we could do that sure would
you like to do that yeah let's go for it okay you sure there's nothing else to
mount to the motherboard before we put it in the case well now that you're saying it i feel
like there is but i'm just gonna well we're gonna put the graphics card
and we'll do it like once we get the motherboard in right anything else though
oh for god's sake what are we missing i i'm not saying we're missing anything
i'm just asking if you're sure that there's nothing else you're zooming in
on something i can tell we're missing something maybe we should let your mom do it yeah
well he zoomed it in like
can you stop handling that like that i don't handle it you do this i clearly
learned how to build computers from my show okay
that's why i don't know how to do it properly this is a machine that actually
needs to work for an extended period of time after like you want to actually use
this for years to come right yeah of course so we're going to handle it by
the edges all right all right cool stop it
you said handle by the edges the hardware first okay jesus have some
lunch will make you a bit happy out of ten how does it taste
oh i should put vegemite in it we could it's in my bag lioness
you're disappointing like hundreds of thousands of australians right now as
far as i can tell australians know that vegemite is terrible they've just made
it part of their culture so that they can meme it up and force other people to
be bad for not eating it no i'm i'm not eating it's a decent yes
you i've tried it i'm not eating it again it's terrible
look at me look at me i'm trembling jesus excuse me
oh two times go on some tim tams
what are tim tams you've never had tim tams okay tim tams i've never tried now
that's where the real disappointment comes in all right i'll try a tim tim oh thank
you these look good you should only hop take the rest no
there's two in power i don't know these are glasses
exactly it helps if you go in at a bit of an
angle i like that yeah like that yeah yep you got it
great okay what do you want to put in here next
uh yeah we could do your SSD not sure all right see i never deal with this
high-end stuff oh jesus that was
eventually gonna happen that's fine that's your computer thank you that's all good
i mean it's tough right it's tough it's tough tough i hate it so much when
people look over my shoulder
graphics card no oh i want graphics cards yeah
everyone wants to do graphics card graphics card comes last
okay we'll power supply all right power supply let's do it hey at least it's a
cool power supply this is a cool power supply
on the side a what a wattage readout oh what a dredo yeah it says how much power
you're going to drive 850 watts right on the side holy crap it's 80 plus platinum
my current one is like 350. oh my computer that thing it's it's old it's
really old uh when i first got it was actually a really decent computer and
even though it is still okay it's on its way to dying basically like it's been
around for six years or something at the moment on its way to seven
so yeah i'm definitely in for a reboot so this is really great ollie just found
out for the first time that we don't ship the system to him assembled because
he lives it lives in the land of oz so we actually are going to take the system
back apart pack it all up in the boxes he has to put it back together again
what's your confidence level uh building it without my assistance well i can just
watch a uh Anthony build guide
open up your power supply Anthony build guide was a perfectly
acceptable answer now if he'd said anything about like bit wit or paul's
hardware or anything like that all right there it is
that is the kind of power supply that
justifies you know this box you know so before you
do that i have a bit of a challenge for you how do you get this power supply in
that case i want to see if you can do it i think we'll have to remove this part here all
right let's have a look he got that a lot faster than i expected
i'm tightening it how do you reverse this thing like that
all right so this goes in the bottom of the case now tools are you familiar with
the uh the comic strip peanuts no charlie brown no okay well there's a
character lucy and she always promises charlie brown that this time when she
holds the football and i mean an american football not a soccer ball when
she holds the football she won't pull it away when he goes to kick it causing him
to fall on his back and what's the moral of the story
dang it i knew i was waiting for it to happen
all right let's get this thing in there
i've got this one over here too can you grab this one for a second yeah
what i hello you gotta grab the eight tim
i plugged it in already now for our last trick
we just need to cover up all that cable mess cool
so we'll put our shroud back and uh well
i had this lined up a second ago shoot i thought i had it figured out
is it in there it's not in there
there we go okay it's in
cool go ahead and screw it in thank you that took you long enough
he's going to make me put it back in myself
go ahead show me how it's done well it's like
i'm confused about how it how it's even meant to go in there
in the first place would you like me to fix it for you
i mean we're healing this time without any sass oh okay
you may help you can put the other side oh thank you it's the most i can do
well i guess i can't use a special screwdriver you can use a special one if you want it's pretty warm
see that's acid right
jesus your ass needs some water cooling man all right
so what would you like to install next no
it's such a slow burn are you gonna be so boring Linus
oh good look at that they're magnetic baby oh hello
so no pressure but however you hook these up we're gonna be judging you ah
that's all good are you gonna give me a cable or
that's it why is it going all the way through i think from the entire build the hardest part about building the
computer was putting together the things that aren't usually shown in videos like
the tiny law like i don't know not fan headers but for example the RGB
components and stuff like that that usually isn't covered in a lot of the
build logs and stuff like that this is weird packaging i've never seen
this before it's like like strapped down with plastic
cute you wanna peel that baby yes i do we're gonna ruin this peel that is one
hell of a thick thick graphics card there
so this is an rtx 2070 super which happens to be great for pretty much
whatever you want
no thanks all right line it properly yeah it's a bit janky
looking pretty good so far there we go
oh boy there we go oh okay got it
did it click yeah i clicked
like didn't hear it looks pretty clicked to me okay
it's clicked enough oh yeah that's clicked
you got this so it's moment of truth time do you want
to know if this thing powers up i should that'd be nice i mean it'd be nice going
home knowing that everything actually works properly all right well let's do
it let's get the peripherals laid out here come on what are you waiting for
still minimalistic i mean it could be more i'm hoping for
the best hey there it is how do you know if that
thing's on it's so quiet it's tough you know dude i thought tough was like loud
tough can be quiet! how do i think the build went i don't
know i mean i think it could have went better if i wasn't under all the
pressure of like shooting of lioness and having it you know knowing that a whole bunch of people are watching me but it
was a new experience i've never handled this sort of equipment before as i said
usually just pre-built computers that are really easy to put back together uh
this is yeah completely different experience for me and it was a heap of
fun i think out of all the things i'm most excited about the monitor because
for like photography it's basically like getting a new pair of eyes so
so while we wait for drivers to install and let you in on something
you did really well when it came to the monitor because you're actually going to
be running at 165 hertz on your ips display instead of 120 or 144 yeah so
that is a definitely noticeable i mean try it
move the mouse jesus yeah that's a big difference okay
so uh this is the big reveal it's not big um
it was going to be the most beautiful one that we had
but our laser aired and there's no recovering i love it so you got the
mountain yeah it was going to have all of like vancouver down here yeah so it's
like the it's the top most disappointing part i
love it at least there's a story behind it like
it's got some personality you know what i mean oh i didn't even realize this so
this is one of the g-sync compatible displays so even though it doesn't have
a g-sync module in it it enables it by default so you should be having the
g-sync experience all right oh that feels weird that is like
fluid how does it look though it looks amazing
the 165 hertz it's 165 right yeah oh yeah it feels so much more different
like it hurts to see what i was missing out on i think when i get back i might
start off with the video games just because i can't remember the last time i've had like a really good gaming
experience i feel like being stuck with the computer i have now i've fallen
behind in time so every time a new game comes comes out i'm like oh no
it's getting worse and worse so i think i'll go straight to games i'll play a
bit of games for a few days and i'll go back to what i usually do which is photography
what is this thing how are you still alive
jesus i don't know so honestly i mean that's
all we really need to know how does it feel it feels good
i mean better than i've ever experienced you notice how you know when you're gaming
and it's working real hard the system really like ramps up and gets loud no no
it's more of a trick question yeah no no yeah that's right
i was expecting a little bit of but no just want to say a big thank you to ASUS
and LTT for sponsoring this whole video honestly i don't think there's any
experience in my life that i had like this it's it's a really trippy thing to
be sitting right here and actually shooting a video of all the guys i
didn't really think i'd ever get the opportunity to do this
um also a big thank you to jono who's sitting right in front of me he had to
put up with all of the problems that we came across and
honestly i'd list them all but i don't think we have enough time so thank you
very much man
so that's it for rg rig reboot 2019 we
had a couple of small hiccups but i think we covered for them
reasonably well right yeah yeah
exactly that's what's up so good look i killed someone congratulations to
everyone who won this year especially you how you feeling
really did you get a kill yeah i got one there's a tank
oh that's rough yeah and i guess we'll end on that note
