Mom, mom, I finally made it. I'M OFFICIALLY SPONSORED BY RED BULL. Time
to suit UP AND STUNT OUT. [screaming] WOO!
UH Linus, RED BULL DOESN'T WANT YOU DO ANY STUNTS. You're just building PCs.
Oh. But building PCs like to the extreme.
>> Uh yeah, they're for extremely cool people. All right. The first is for
soccer superstar Alphonso Davies, and the second is for a huge streamer that
we're going to reveal later. What both have in common though are top-tier
gaming components, unique [music] custom designs, and of course the fact
that they are both sponsored by Red Bull. As for our video, it's sponsored
by Trix and Seasonic, which three
sponsors? Uh have you seen the price of PC components these days?
>> Okay, that's fair. But enough about that, let's talk about the plan. I
really loved the grass and diorama aesthetic of Luke's build that we did,
Bulbasaur, and I think that some of what worked there could translate really well
to a soccer pitch theme. Huh?
But before we get to that, let's talk about the PC that Red Bull is having us
build, starting with our CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Eight Zen 5 cores, a massive 3D V-Cache, this is the gaming king.
Well, almost sort of. The 9850X3D is slightly faster, but not to the point
where a gamer would notice in the real world. So, we'd recommend whichever is
the better deal at the time. As for our motherboard, we chose the ASUS ROG Strix
X870-A Gaming Wi-Fi. Why?
Fi. Fi. Sorry. Because it has all the
features of a good X870 board, including great power delivery, Wi-Fi 7, and dual
USB 4 ports. It also has a pretty nice
aesthetic, which may not be the most important factor in every build, but it
definitely matters for a showcase build that we're delivering to one of the
world's top athletes on behalf of one of the world's top sellers of fizzy
flavored energy liquid. For our RAM, we've got 64 gigs of G.Skill Trident Z5
rated at 6,000 mega transfers per second. Now, at CL30 timings, this is
not the fastest memory on the market, but as we talked about recently, an X3D
chip doesn't really need top-tier memory in order to perform well.
And do you have ANY IDEA WHAT TOP-TIER memory costs?
If you can even find it. On the subject of components that are overpriced these
days, we've loaded up the system with 4 TB of storage, which is pretty freaking
nice to have, but we didn't go completely balls to the wall on the
spec, going for the Samsung 9100 Pro.
The highlights for this drive include PCIe Gen 5 speeds, and the lowlights are
well, there's nothing. It's ready for anything. OS drive today,
and hey, if Direct Storage ever actually matters, it'll be ready for that, too.
Super nice drive without spending actually much more per [music] gig than
even more pedestrian models. Now for the
case, and the fun. The three-sided
panoramic glass of the Hyte Y70 just gives us all these angles by which we
can see all the craftwork we're going to do on the PC.
And it includes a PCIe Gen 4 riser that
allows us to mount our GPU vertically, and it's got intakes like everywhere. Uh
Or at least it used to, David. I couldn't help noticing that we covered
the bottom intakes. Yeah, we did a little bit of pre-work because we wanted
to be sort of precise, but this is the beginning of our grass aesthetic
happening down here. Uh we should still have enough.
It should be fine. Yeah. What's the worst that could happen?
Something to note is that while this is officially a PCIe Gen 4 riser, Hyte has
clarified that it should work at Gen 5 speeds, which is pretty cool. My notes
say notice the pre-installed Phanteks fans. Consider them noticed. I'm also
noticing some Lian Li's down here. Are those going to do anything? They will
blow air and shine a little bit RGB.
Cool. On that note, with our airflow a little
restricted, we're going to want a pretty beefy CPU cooler. And we've gone with
the T-Force Stage ARGB 360 mm AIO. It
uses an Asetek pump system with their Sigurdr V2 pump using their one-phase
motor design and a large radiator rated for up to 280 W of thermal capacity.
It's also got three included RGB fans that clip together to reduce nasty cable
hangage. And probably most important, the stage refers to these
dual IPS screens that sit on top of a
mirrored base where you can showcase your figurines and play custom videos.
That's pretty cool. Yep. And it's way more cool than you think.
We had our animation superstar Robert make up some animations that I'm
genuinely excited to show you, but we're going to have to wait to fire up our PC
first. And to do that, we're going to need our 1200 W Seasonic Vertex GX. Full
modularity, compatibility with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, not to mention a
giant 135 mm fan for whisper quiet operation make this a great power supply
today. >> [music] >> What makes it a great power supply tomorrow is that Seasonic stands by
their products with up to a 12-year transferable warranty, which means that
you can either use this bad boy for over a decade worry-free, or if you want to
upgrade to something, >> [music] >> can't imagine what, but let's say they
release something even better, you can sometimes get a better offer on your old
unit since they will also cover the buyer. I could imagine needing an
upgrade seeing the way that GPUs are going. Yeah, I mean it'll handle this today,
but who knows what NVIDIA is going to have in the future. This thing's an absolute monster. We chose the ASUS ROG
Strix RTX 5090 for its 32 gigs of VRAM,
2580 MHz boost clocks, and Okay, if I'm
being real, we like that it has really flat surfaces
for decorating. Also, baller GPU for
a baller, you know? Hey!
I can't I literally can't even bend my knee enough. All right, let's get this
thing installed. David's going to install our Lian Li 8.8-in universal
screen for PC, uh and we're going to have more
animation up there. We just kind of want to have sensory overload, you know what
I mean? That's what every PC, every good PC needs. You look at the PC and you're
just overwhelmed. With that installed now, time for the fun part. This is
going to be awesome. Arts and crafts, that's why I build PCs, baby.
>> [laughter] >> I think his form could use some work.
These guys are cute, though. Okay, the plan is we have figures to have a little
soccer game down here. We have all these buddies to be spectators up here. We
have our screen that's going to be a scoreboard at the top. It's not
functioning as a scoreboard, but it animates like a scoreboard. Uh and then,
we need to build a little scenery block that goes back here to kind of hide some
of the cable mess when you view it from the front.
Sick. Can I do spectators? Yeah, you can.
>> [laughter] >> Uh so, what do you think in terms of like spectator locations? Do you want
them just kind of Should they be looking this way? So, when I was doing my
mock-up, I did five, which is boring.
Um but >> Oh. You could put as many as you want.
Nice. I feel really bad hot gluing a
5090.
And you insist I can't have guys up here, hey? You You can, just you can't
hot glue them. I can't hot glue them? I don't think we should. To a mirrored
surface? Yeah. If anything, it'll come off.
You're the boss, boss. Well, do you have another figure that's
supposed to go there? We we have two.
Oh. >> [laughter] >> We have Lieutenant Dan and uh What's
another Pop figure? >> Edward Scissorhands, but without his scissors.
>> [laughter] >> What do you think of my napping guy over here?
Let's glue him in. Yeah, sure. Don't glue him in. Okay, that's
basically a no. Let's close this thing up, power it up, and have a look at how
the scoreboard ties the whole thing together. Oh, dude, I haven't even seen
this. That's awesome. Got the Red Bull etching on there.
>> That reminds me the most important thing of our entire freaking upgrade. What do
you got? No way.
Where is this from? >> I found like a dollhouse company that
sells accessories for dollhouses, and they sell little Red Bull cans.
>> [laughter] >> How much did we pay for them? $3 each.
So, like more than a real Red Bull. >> [laughter] >> It's pretty close these days.
This is the closest I'm ever going to be to being sponsored by Red Bull, so
I'm going to enjoy it. Yo, this Yo, are we good at what we do?
Sometimes. Not always. What am I looking at here?
>> You're looking at the power button. This is the power button? >> Yeah, you got to score a goal. Shut up.
Oh. Control. Control, you must learn control.
Okay, that time I got it.
>> Oh.
Well, we're still working on the details there. >> Works. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, it's just temporary. Uh pretend it's an Alphonso Davies figure.
Still working on that. >> Yeah. Okay. Oh my god, it has his name scrolling
across the top. Oh, I love it. Robert really went above and beyond where he's
like, "I don't want you to be able to see where it loops." So, he made the each video 5 minutes.
That's so cool. These ones are a little less involved. The next one
will blow your mind. But, before we can blow Linus's mind with this PC, we
actually need to finish it up. And you might be wondering who's [music] going
to be getting this PC? Well, Conan O'Brien called their gaming name
the greatest name in gaming history. And they've been a huge on Twitch forever
playing games like Hearthstone and especially Among Us. You may have heard
of uh Disguised Toast. >> Let's take a look at his PC. We're using
pretty much all the same parts as the soccer pitch PC, but uh in black. The
motherboard is a slightly nicer X870E motherboard, and obviously this case is
a little different. Let's talk about that. We contacted [music] Thermaltake
directly, and they were able to ship this one out in short order. We actually
only got it like 2 days before shooting. Yeah. Thank you,
Thermaltake, [music] for sending the Thermaltake View 600 TG in butter
caramel. Let's decorate. The plan is a little more straightforward than with
the soccer pitch PC. We have these Among Us figures that we're going to kind of
hide throughout. We have the same [music] Stage uh AIO kind of thing going
on that we have custom animations for. We have another Lian Li screen. Uh and
we got more Red Bull. So, we're kind of just going to spread them throughout in
this beautiful montage that you're currently watching. Wow. Wow.
Wow. Justin hurt himself during our shoot yesterday and neither David nor I have
particularly steady hands or uh really good uh finesse details.
So, I'm going to do my best. >> [music] >> But my best is not very good.
This is the whole reason we got the yellow case. Just so we could make that
a reality. Crafts done. Time to close it up and see what Linus thinks.
Okay. That looks so cool.
>> Yeah. Ah, you spilled the Red Bull. >> Yeah. I love it.
>> I think we've outdone ourselves on this one.
Those Red Bull cans just >> [music] >> make it so nice and cool. This is
incredible. I mean, the thing is when you're a streamer,
>> [music] >> right? They let you have any PC you want.
I think you'd actually want to use this. >> you'd actually want to use this. [music] I mean, just check out the animations.
It's all custom done by Robert, and they're like it looks so good that we
might get a copyright infringement [music] uh letter.
Don't look. You can blur it. >> [laughter] >> Pixelate it. The meeting table, I love
it. Oh, man. And with with it sitting in
the room? Yeah, it looks like it's actually kind of there.
Oh, that's awesome. Is there anything left but to game? No, yeah. I mean, what
game should we play? Among Us. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, we figured out how to
get it to at least 240 frames. It was locked at 60 originally. [music]
Solid. Great. 3% GPU usage.
>> [laughter] >> Tasks.
No, you got to keep fixing this. Oh, no, it's storage. Oh, I see.
Yeah, the verb power [music] 202. I'm doing stuff.
Please Please don't call me sus. >> [laughter]
>> All right, let's try some FIFA. Okay, that's pass. So, that's cool. Good
nerdy. Okay. He's going.
>> go. Hey! Well. It's our man.
How do I shoot? How the hell do I shoot? >> Man, the animation's so good.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. >> [snorts] >> Man, they really put their money in this
one, not the NHL. >> [laughter]
>> I want to get to Davies. Okay.
OH! HEY! >> [screaming] >> LET'S GO!
LET'S GO! OR WAIT, NO. OH.
>> NO, IT DIDN'T hit the side of the goal. You know what?
I think the canon ending of this video is going to be that Davies scored.
Thanks for watching. [music] I hope you guys enjoy your systems.
Massive thanks to Red Bull for reaching out for this collaboration. This was really fun and great job team David and
Justin and Justin for getting this done. These look incredible. And thank you to
tricks for sponsoring video. Thanks to you see Sonic for sponsoring these videos. You can check out their stuff in
the links in the video description and if you like videos like this, you should
check out the time we upgraded Luke's PC. Oh yeah, that was so cool.
All the sword build is amazing. Oh, hold on. He's going for [music] it. He's going for it.
