this is absolute madness in our finale
shot for this video it can't look like this i'm getting anxiety
i'm not gonna lie ladies and gentlemen i have no idea where to start with
today's Intel extreme tech upgrade that's right we're back with another 5
000 tech makeover brought to you by Intel and this time it is for the
longest standing employee of Linus media
group other than me or Yvonne edsel our production manager who as you
guys might assume since he has been with us the longest has obviously stolen the
most equipment from the office right out of the gate i recognize this case
this case i'm pretty sure that
this monitor was uh prop
company property at some point or another and i'm pretty sure i'm not
gonna have to dig much deeper to find a lot more
okay no none of those like that that
monitor that you didn't point out is from the office this case is from the
office don't lie i bought that from the office yes
it's unbelievable this this has to be why he has never
invited me to see his place in spite of me asking for years so why don't we
let's do the tour because i've never gotten a tour okay i didn't invite you
because there was a pandemic going on
and you know it's not safe i'd say the least safe thing is this bathroom i mean
you don't need a pandemic for this to be a health hazard it's not a hazard if i
know what i'm doing there is this where you dissolve your dismembered body parts no i do that in
an off-site location i don't want those chemicals down my drain that is uh
that is a squeegee you better blur this
upstairs you said it was chaotic i disagree it was lived in
this i admit is chaotic who are you trying to fool you've clearly never used
the soldering iron i got that this week when i got the switches for uh my mouse
he just wants that geek street cred pathetic for this week you want to steal
stuff from the office fine but do you have to steal it and destroy it
what did you do to this mouse pad look how they massacred my boy so i put
compound on there to sharpen my knives well that's a use case part we're not
going to advertise
i feel like you're hoarding could be an entire video and we don't even have to
do an Intel extreme tech upgrade what's with all these shoes
why do you have ladies shoes that's a normal shoe closet and those are my
wife's i've never met this wife either oh my
god that's a lot you have
i had to think have you many times
i think i need to defend myself here it's not as bad as you know you make it
seem um this folds
so it's like a bit more out of the way and this disassembles into two pieces
and then i can like wheel it away into a the shoe problem the shoe problem is
everywhere you got the rack downstairs the closet downstairs you got the shoes
everywhere in this room i'm almost afraid of what i'll find
upstairs there are no shoes upstairs that's apparently against the rules i
would say weird shoes with all the toes cut out of them are against the rules
too and yet here we are those are my wife's
okay hold on we both have toe socks
you know what we can continue to unpack all of that later the theme of today's
Intel extreme tech upgrade is couples gaming so both ed and his wife are
getting rtx 3080s and ed is going to be moving to a core i9 10850k because he
just missed the cutoff to get an alder lake upgrade which is very unfortunate
but that's okay also there's going to be a big tv
upgrade and he doesn't know this
but there is going to be some tidy up happening because this is a troubled
troubled space i'm right here i can hear you
troubled and why does your extreme tech upgrade
include a cowboy hat two cowboy hats what is going on i would
never buy it with my own money just because it's you know kind of kind
of out there well i've always wanted one of those hats so i got one and then you
got another one for my life because it was a couple's thing i feel like it
would be weird if i didn't get her a hat are you sure the second one isn't for me
so we can be matching for the rest of this video oh god
okay we need a bin we're gonna start putting
things in bins because this is absolute
madness there are two gaming mice on this desk how many gaming mice are on
this desk one gaming mouse we got one stolen from work
wireless earphones stolen from the office
is it stolen if it's swag it's from the office but it's not well it's not stolen
if it's swag until you take it home this case is definitely from work no one
would actually buy this case so this is one of the rigs we're upgrading right
we're not really upgrading this system because it's going to my nephew
so what you're saying is we're downgrading this system
because you don't love your nephew okay my nephew's nine years old i don't
think he really needs you know that good of a system it's a 9 600k i mean did you
just assume your nephew's gaming needs i
i think i know what he's used to and he uh he won't think this is all that bad
don't you wish you had an uncle like ed he won't think it's all that bad
so what does come out then the heatsink and fan the RAM
you're stealing your nephew's RAM you got more RAM
it's 32 gigs of RAM the fact that he's nine makes it better
to steal from him it makes it easier
this is going to be an adventure guys and what are we doing with schar's
machine are we we're we got to change the GPU so you want to shut it down yep
i would have done a CPU and motherboard upgrade for her system too but i blew it
all on hats spot the problem it should be very
obvious to someone who's been editing tech videos for 10 years um i haven't
edited videos in a while come on ed no you got to give me a hand
oh right now they are in the wrong places
he's running dual channel memory on a quad channel motherboard what happened
there that's sad was that i just took the the RAM the
from these slots because i was lazy
so my wife's system has a 7980xe
stolen from the office there's no way one for that it was one from the office
oh well thank you for only taking one of them instead of two
ah i hate you 32 gigs of RAM
and this 1080 ti what kind of power supply you got because you're throwing a
3080 in here it's a Corsair rm 850x so
it should be fine probably fine yeah okay let's take a look at what
generous uncle ed is putting in his nephew's machine
for cooler you're going from an nfu 12a to a hyper 212 i mean at least just
wrong for the led version he's a kid i know what's important to
children and it's bright lights honestly the worst thing about a cheaper cooler
is not even the performance like this thing's pretty solid it's just
a mounting mechanism was it not very good it's just a pain
but that's okay why would you care i'm the one dealing with it i told you i can
build my nephew's system i just don't trust you to do a good job and i think
your nephew deserves better that's all yeah but it would be done and he
wouldn't know better he'd watch this video so he'd know better because he'd
see what a great job i'm gonna do of the systems that i build today and he'd look
at yours and he'd be like uncle ed and
it'd be tears there'd be tears in his eyes
i'm glad why don't you love me
and how would you answer that i don't like kids
yeah that won't be emotionally damaging
what i want to know is how you're going to fix the RAM issue with your nephew's pc i couldn't help noticing when you
were talking about budgeting for this eight gigs of RAM ed
so what your nephew can have like three chrome tabs open
oh was that really only oh god
they've got that key on that no it's eight gigs times two never mind
i misread the package oh my god i'm like did i just buy the wrong thing oh derp
sorry that's actually my bad this is a pretty good kit it's 3 000 mega
transfers per second and c16 do you have something that i can use to
blow this out actually i have a small air compressor
with my airbrush if you want to use that sure
oh yeah that'll do now if there was any serious dust in
here like if ed was a smoker or something
there's no way we'd be able to clean it out with this wimpy little compressor
but this is actually working reasonably well
i'm gonna leave this out here though because we're gonna need to dust off the
other machines there's no way i'm leaving them like this pro tech tip you
don't actually have to do things if other people will do them for you
because it annoys them it's not a tech tip it's an old tip
so the power supply has to come out i'm using that one in my system oh more
downgrades yes actually it is hold on i mean he'd be
fine with a 650 right he would be fine with the 650. but you love him more than
that so here we go that one is from the office it came from the origin pc why do
you have an extra random power supply like immediately accessible he was gone
for like eight seconds oh my storage room is isn't too bad oh my god there's
a storage room oh my god no oh no i mean the way i see it i paid for
this house anyway so this is where all the stolen stuff is
more prototype merch well this isn't even that bad
what were you so afraid of me finding in here and know it's just your weird
obsession with pillows shaped like this or i originally didn't have a couch i
just wanted to use these in my living room oh my god that's the stupidest
thing i've ever heard my cat kept climbing them in the
insides were coming out we had to stop using them
you know what i shouldn't knock it until i've tried it i'm being very judgy right
now this is instead of a couch yeah i
stand behind my initial reaction we were fine with it
you know the people who live here were fine with it
until we got the cat i mean he wants to lean back anyway oh oh
oh man i'm gonna crush the brim of this hat my head
turtle do you need help no i'm good i'm good it's just this defective challenge
i hate you do you actually have any drives
installed in this front drive cage thing i don't really feel like it oh you do oh
my god they're all ssds okay i'm assuming you're gonna need some of these
drives hey uh all of them oh yeah so you're not going to leave
anything for your nephew i see my nephew is getting
hey where is it do you have the pile so what do you have the pile oh that pile
a one terabyte SSD sorry i thought you were talking about a different pile
because there's so many piles in this house whoa
i actually wanted to reuse that bay but
a lot of the cases that uh you know we're in like my price range didn't have
like open slots oh yeah five and a quarter inch bays aren't really a thing
anymore yeah like that thing's so useful i am going to put together this monitor
mounts oh my god ed what
you mangled this mount
holy it is a miracle that this thing is alive
oh that's pretty bad holy crap and that still works yeah i'm
not going to mess with it now because it's going to be so bent that you
couldn't just screw it in normally how was that
graphics card still working um because you got really lucky and you
didn't crack the dye instead of having a heat spreader over top of the fragile
dye which spreads heat and also spreads
out mechanical force from the cooler being mounted gpus they don't have those
because you can actually get better cooling results without having a heat spreader
and gpus they just don't have the same space for coolers they also don't need
end users to be able to install coolers on them because it should be done by a
manufacturer so the die is just bare meaning that if you over tighten it on
one side you can actually crack the actual chip you can just like crack it
and obviously it stops working at that point so
luckily ed did not manage to crack it and i have
no idea how that happened i lucked out twice
both cards work it's clean
yeah all right where's my side panels at
do you have any cable ties other than this random one i found
i have some rare ties some wet ties
drawer ties what are raw ties like zip
rar also these are hook and loop fasteners not zip ties i was making do
you have any do you have any tweezers maybe if i ask for tweezers he'll get me
the right thing if i hadn't handed you those would it have been funny
oh it was no it's still funny it's still funny i'm just i'm just bothering you by
not laughing at it how long has it been since the side
panel has been attached to the computer ed i don't think it's ever been on the
computer the side panel was beside the computer
yeah it's a side panel i thought about painting it but i actually found out
last week his birthday's like this week
yeah because you haven't had eight years already to figure out what
his birthday is okay in my defense i have trouble remembering my birthday
this is my production manager
let's get all the pieces for ed's machine out here so we've got an
MSI z590a pro good middle of the range
board got a pci express gen 4 m.2 slot in case
that ever wants to upgrade to an 11th gen CPU and
an m.2 SSD since you didn't go gen 4 SSD
i actually really like ed's choice of CPU the 10850k has 10 cores
boosts nearly as high as the 10900k and
is a little bit more affordable wait are you still working on that
monitor stand yeah i don't know if i'm derping but this one doesn't actually
want to grip onto the bar like the other one are you sure you don't just have to
like ream on it more i mean that's your specialty yeah it is usually
so the issue is that you're bottoming out on the head
on this one so these weren't close enough together
when it was threatened oh i see yeah clamp me daddy hold on and i guess back
in my butt yep fair enough daddy is really weird you can't call people daddy
wait wait where are you going i need more leverage so we gotta go over to this side okay yeah i was expecting you
to just like pull that one out and then pull it out there we just we're setting
what our minimum what our our maximum opening this openness is right
we have one small problem ed you have a 30 80 now and this case has a lot of
ventilation but this particular version of it only comes with a single front
intake fan do you have any more fans i
do oh yeah this is the same crappy fans that dennis got yes they are
oh my god why did you buy these
because they were they were cheap get a pie oh my god you uh this is an ikea
table yeah ikea they make good stuff
what okay all right did you not see their rog line it's like bending back
and forth as you move that wasn't so bad yep
did you not see it flexing and moving about well not from up here
you know why these fans are cheap right because you do half of the assembly
yourself you should know this because you watched dennis's upgrade
that didn't make it into the cut
all that matters to me is that you're happy with the result so based on what
this place looks like i think i can't possibly lose
some say it's not the destination that matters it's the journey and so far this
journey is you being a dick
all right i got my up here fans installed up there
up there yeah no up here now i just got to wire up
the RGB controller so i'm thinking i'm going to put it up here
this is the play seat challenge this is for my wife because i already have my
own uh and i wanted to get this so that you know we were on a level playing
field when we're we're playing a set of course hour project cars i asked if she
wanted one she's like no that doesn't make any sense don't buy it ah but when
Intel buys it for her she said don't get this still
but i wanted to get it is anyone else getting happy anniversary i got you a
blender vibes right now i never would have bought that for
myself we actually got it for her mom and then she said
no this is too expensive i just wanted a juicer
we got that for like 50 off i'm like i
really wanted a vitamix forever and just couldn't justify it
let's just keep this this seems nicer than mine
so whose is it now if i get the swapped quickly enough
oh my god
you can't
yeah agreed this is weird i don't remember the up
here fan hub being like this all the fans plug in with just a single cable
harness so you don't have to manage both power and RGB but the less cool thing is
that it's just got a SATA power connector and then there's no fan
control input for it so i don't think your fans are going to
be controllable ed no that's fine i run everything at full blast anyways
i have pretty bad tinnitus so hearing nothing turns into me hearing my
tinnitus so like some white noise is actually pretty
welcome my house isn't that weird right oh definitely yeah your basement's just
unfinished this is i mean it's finished
maybe i'm wrong commenters you let us know right oh they're just gonna say
it's weird no the commenters love disagreeing with me so either they
acknowledge the weirdness or they lie to you those are the only two possible
outcomes it's funny because you've always told me like yeah i like to have hobbies
but i never really understood
now i get it
yep okay actually it turns out this is different and actually not as good as mine
that's unfortunate okay now we're ready
yeah yeah you should i thought you wanted to switch ed
yeah but then you guys told me no and i thought you know they're right
you guys convinced me what a piece of crap
oh god don't get me struggling with this yeah if you can't do it how can you give
it to char you should give her the properly working one
yeah well i was using this thing and then when i got the other thing i
asked if she wanted the other one she said no because she's a very
considerate and loving life and i appreciate what does that say about you
if she's happy i'm happy and if i'm happy apparently she's happy
so it works out as long as you're happy i don't know if people are gonna think
i'm a bad person i can see the top comment on this video now
could Linus just find someone who's not a total bastard to give an upgrade to
yeah but what does it say about you who who hires all these people they'll never
find a community without me i'm gonna build
this company so they all have somewhere to go every day and be away from the
rest of society i'm doing the world a favor
no problem andy
this is a vr gun stock for FPS games this part is not part of it obviously
this is like some packing foam and you know just hard plastic it's not all that
comfortable man the disconnect between how cool you feel in vr and how cool you
look in vr has never been this big as i've learned going into my 30s
how you look really doesn't matter the most important thing is how you feel
and whether you're happy or not and whether you have a pube lodged in your
vr controller or not have a what
is it i'm just kidding there's ticking on it it's a cat hair oh my god
that would have been weird and unexpected you don't need controllers
for that
ed we have basically an hour to make this place not look junky
not chunky what are you talking about junkie look you put your vr headsets
in their cardboard boxes to charge you
literally a closet where you keep all your boxes but the boxes would just sit
there they're just sitting here holding the things
ah i'm getting anxiety
we're just gonna leave this place an absolute disaster like you did with
david's Intel home upgrade i'm sorry but all this stuff cannot stay here this
can't be here in our finale shot for this video it can't look like this
oh i love this you have your adventure time plate that you made at work so that
people would stop stealing each other's plates and causing a big problem because
no one was cleaning anything and then turns out oh that's right the ink was
toxic so we got to take him home
fond memories oh man this
xlr cable though geez what okay
wait what what's wrong with the xy cable no no just i'm stressed is it too late
to get Anthony here everything clean
everything clean everything will be clean it will be nice
oh hey we didn't even talk about your monitor upgrades so it's a 4k display i
primarily got it so that i could pass this one on
to char because she's using this monitor this monitor was actually my workstation
monitor back when we worked out of langley you gave it to me i
didn't steal it uh
it's not very white no so it hasn't been light for a very
long time yeah very purple yeah
yeah so yeah it's upgraded for that oh this is cool where'd you get a youtube
laptop bag i think someone didn't want it and then stolen from work then yeah
probably just like your youtube camera bag
okay that's not stolen you gave that to me in like the first year i was working
i do remember that oh crap
these are actually quite coveted by collectors they're not
are they real out there because this is to my knowledge the first
official piece of youtube creator swag ah
that's a toe spacer a what toe spacer a toe spacer yeah
i mean it's certain things like the cat toy i will volunteer
to come and spend a weekend helping you with this you have a problem
your battery charging should be in one of your storage rooms sir like how can
do you even know what's back here okay there's a head mount light i find
it like accessible there if uh there's a
storm and there's a power outage you know what does that make sense you clearly don't want help so
does that not make sense like the first aid kits there too
okay i do enjoy Intel extreme tech upgrades
but i think yours is among the most stressful so far
most people actually at least tried to pretend to clean up before i came to
look at their houses that's unrealistic
oh my god oh yes
we go on OLED today boys and
one two three pull away on the bottom and lift up there we go
easy oh god oh well your end is you said you
were gonna unplug everything so i made the assumption that you were not a
big liar so nephew if you're watching and ed
doesn't give you this tv you'll know he just doesn't love you ed's looking for
the mounting hardware for his tv mount because this
ain't even close i have more similar
different mounting things
i feel bad for Linus no you don't
i feel bad yeah i'm dying get me a screw that fits
please i don't mean to make your life harder
it just happens here's a tech tip for you when we did
andy's upgrade we didn't bother with the peel on the back of his tv turns out
that's a big problem it actually needs to come off for cooling andy had to fix
that after we left is that that fine is that how this works
yeah you're good god i'm scared no no you're good you're good oh wait oh my
god we like whoa we almost nailed it just a little
bit to this side okay we'll manage this here good enough
or as i call it edsback
they want me to tell you the specs of the tv sorry andy okay so it's 4k up to
120 hertz it supports g-sync so if ed ever wanted to drag his pc over here or
run like an optical HDMI cable through his kitchen seems like the kind of thing
he would do but the first thing i'm going to do now that we have the awesome tv setup is
immediately transport myself to another world by wearing a screen on my face
do i have to like grab it oh i see and then
how do you oh reload the buttons are just instinctive to me
uh okay so grab a mag from your left pocket
yeah okay you have to charge the handle um
yep that knob
well this is tedious i'm not convinced that this grip and
brush oh wait i'm not convinced this grip improves the experience ed if
you're trying to go for precision it's loads better
okay so you gotta let go grab a magazine oh god don't throw it on
the ground
well i'm sure it's fun for somebody it wasn't easy but ed's Intel extreme tech
upgrade is finally complete both his station and his wife's are now
significantly faster not to mention
more color accurate they've got two matching racing seats now to enjoy vr
racing games and the living room has gotten one of the biggest upgrades with
a 65-inch OLED display and of course the
weird um gun stock vr accessory thing
that i'm sure that schar is going to use a lot right ed yep yeah definitely that
was that was definitely for both of them to enjoy
catch us at the next one it's gonna be either hoffman or nicole i think a
couple of our editors who you don't know very well and will probably find to be
very interesting characters ed i think i sweat in your hat a little enjoy your
upgrade
