Give it a shake. No, I don't want to shake your computer. What you What I'm
telling you now. It's my computer. I'm telling you to shake it. Give it Give it a shake. Oh god, what happened to it?
>> Adelaide Airport, Brisbane Airport,
maybe Qantas, potentially Air Canada. You want to see the footage of it coming
off the conveyor belt.
And that was when the GP was already rattling loose. Did you have your GPU
installed in it? Yeah. What kind of GPU?
4090. Nothing that's completely out of stock and hard to find and worth three
times the value it was when it was new.
This is why you didn't see me gaming at the Whalan. >> That's yours, mate. That's That's I
didn't know. We're going to unbox this thing. We're going to assess the damage. What What am I going to do to it now?
It's a 4090 in it. We're going to assess the damage.
And we're going to get you all fixed up. And while we're at it, we're going to see how much of it is Wade's fault.
It wasn't packed like this originally. You did not ship a system in this cheap,
shitty foam. I added foam. There was foam underneath. There was I added
extra. Look, and it's non-biodegradable. That's how you know it's good. That's
not how foam works, Wade. But that is
how we do a segway to our sponsor,
Ugreen. Their MaxiDock Thunderbolt 5 docking station comes with a whopping 17
ports for you to charge all of your devices with. Grab yours and save up to
22% with our link in the video description.
Oh, now you're being careful with it, mate. Thank you so much. >> it had so much foam on it.
But dude, you just cussed me out for for not being good enough. Why the hell is
he careful with it now all of a sudden? You're all over the place, mate. What is up with this build? Why would you have a
4090 and dollar store 80 mm fans in the
same system? >> thank you very much. Look Look I already had a 4090 that I couldn't get rid of.
>> Wow, what a problem. >> I came all the way to all the way across
the country, the whole stinking planet, >> Right. >> to a channel that I've been watching for
over a decade. >> to bring something good. Had to bring something interesting.
>> So you brought those 80 mm fans. Yeah, and oh, that's a bigger one. Do Do you
like these stickers I put on it? >> Wow, that's pretty cool, actually. >> huh? I was bringing so much stuff. I
didn't have room in my LTT Store backpack from lttstore.com. Don't look
at the clips. Don't look at the clips. They're fine. But what I did was I added a bracket top and bottom so it didn't
move at all, but you can see the bottom bracket has been completely kapowed into
oblivion, and that's now bent. Wade, your story makes absolutely no sense.
You brought a 4090 and cheap fans because your backpack couldn't fit a
computer, but you have the computer, and then also your bracket is broken. It
wasn't when I packed it. All right, let's take a look. There was a screw
there. I don't know why it's missing. Right, that's probably one of the ones we heard before. That's Remolex. Stock
cooler on that baby. Right. >> only needs it. Needs that cooling. This
is a very imbalanced build, Wade. >> Oh boy, is it?
>> And a single stick of RAM. >> Do you want to see the price for it? >> But it's DDR5. Wade, no. Shut up. You
didn't buy it during the RAMpocalypse, did you? Well, I had to put some It
doesn't boot without RAM in it, you dingus. So you just mean you could have
gone DDR4. This is all the cheapest stuff I could get except for the 4090,
which I already had. [music] And that you probably broke.
310 bucks. Wow, that's really unfortunate. Can I Can I have that back,
mate? Okay, actually No, put it back in the machine. No, I'm going to put it here cuz we're taking this machine
apart. Yeah, we're not leaving it like this. Yeah, that's a good mount. That's
a good one that was. We made that in the Garbage Time warehouse. Can you believe?
That was laying on the ground. Yes, I believe you. It was mounted so good. It
wasn't going anywhere. >> I But it did. Well, until someone dropped it. That's what happened. So
it's gone boom, and the weight of all the VRAM it's got made it bend.
>> All right, let me have a look here. It's still in the slot. Luke took a look at
this at Whalan, and he was like, "Ah, that'll fire up." He didn't seem that
worried. I'm hoping that these brackets took the brunt like suspension.
Wait! That'll never go back. Good.
>> [laughter] >> Honestly, this bottom one is bad. Wow!
How do you even do that? Can I even do that with
Okay, no, no, it's made of nothing. This seems stronger in my mind. >> Yeah. Well, Okay, all It's all making
more sense the further we're getting into this. I want this to work because
for my understanding, we have committed to provide any hardware you need to make
it work. So I need you to not break anything else. I'm not I'm not I want
this to work cuz Luke's got his name on it. For Luke, I will try to salvage
this. For Luke. It is a chunky boy, isn't it? >> I've never heard him called that before,
but I'll pass it along. Oh, that's good. >> He'll take it as a compliment. It's mostly straight now, huh? Yeah. Yeah. I
agree. I've I've bent my fair share of heat sinks in my day. There was loose
rattling noises all through this. >> No, I know. That's what I'm mostly
worried about. I actually I actually suspect the GPU is probably okay. That's
the only thing worth money in this entire box. >> That is so not true. You have the 2 TB
SSD in here. I just want to pull everything out of here, and let's fire
this up on a test bench, okay? Hey, is that from LTX? Yeah, 23. That's
sick. And all the signatures that have worn off cuz that's how much I use it.
>> I was about to say, my favorite thing about it is how shiny the plastic is. I
seriously love these cases, by the way. Yeah, just needs to not um ship them
with the stock foam. In fairness to you, it's not like there's resources out
there where you can see how to prepare your system for transport to a LAN.
Especially 16-hour flights and layovers. >> Yeah, like no one's ever made a video
about that before. Hey,
there's your screw. >> Oh, thanks. And let's grab a test bench. Why did you put a nut in it?
>> Oh, like this? Yeah. Oh, it just keeps the cable from just floppy doodle-ing
all over the place. No, I'm balanced at all this guy. This is This is nice.
>> I mean, I don't think it's that big of a deal. What processor did you say you had
in there? I mean, it's a big number. 8600G.
Yeah, that's a Zen 4. I think you're expecting me to be a lot more upset
about this than I'm actually going to be. I'm I'm actually surprised how chill
you are with everything except for the foam. The foam really got you going. No,
I I don't like that foam. That foam is it's totally unsuitable. But if it
survives, then you can take it all back. You're going to be blown away. This
thing is going to just work. >> This thing bought on X. I'm telling you.
Cheap on X good. [laughter] I'm pretty sure I can address that.
Okay. Well, this is no less secure than what I did. All right, this is This is
good. >> I'm not shipping it anywhere. >> [laughter]
>> That's the difference. It had fragile on the box. They should have respected
that. >> That's how they know to throw it harder. Okay, this is a big moment. Fail.
>> the RGB? Uh we'll figure the RGB out. You can't
tell if it's Linux loading or if it's actually working fine cuz man, you've
had bad [music] bad runs with Linux. >> Dude, okay. I tried to install Bazzite
on my media PC and Kubuntu on my work laptop.
>> [laughter] >> And then this one was just stuck there.
That's so good. Go, 8600G. Do it. Get in
there. Your 8600G is fine. We're going to overclock that memory a little bit.
>> [laughter] >> That's fine. That's fine. It's 4800, and that's brand new DDR5. There's no way
that Micron is fabbing any dies today that can only do 4800 and will not go
any higher. I've never overclocked anything. Ever.
Really? Yeah. I play with iPods where people think I'm smart because I put a
battery in something and then seal it back up. Right. I have a jazz degree. I
I can't tell when he's joking or not. No, I'm being dead serious. Jazz philosophy.
>> Yes. No, and I'm not actually kidding. Look at my face. I'm being dead serious. I
can't look at him. >> [laughter] >> I can't look at him tell me he's a jazz
philosopher and not laugh. >> I am actually a jazz philosopher. Sorry,
you'll have to keep rolling because I don't know when this is going to itself.
What, you sound it's fine? I'm saying it could be. It would have booted already.
The ultimate [music] force. Okay, entering emergency mode.
>> So I know what happened here.
I was present. This is exactly what I got with Bazzite the other day.
>> [laughter] >> I've never seen this. You're cursed. You've cursed my computer.
>> I know. I Luckily, this was smashed in its box.
>> There's a god of irony somewhere that was sitting [music] there going,
"How funny would it be if there's a tech guy who we name He makes sure his name
Linus, and he can't touch a Linux system
without it up?" Do you know your way out of this, or are
you literally stuck in this hell zone? No, I What I tried was I pressed Ctrl D
to continue, and it didn't work. >> This is not the issue I was expecting to
have, but it lines up very well with your frustrations with Linux.
I'm going to go grab another SSD, and let's just start fresh. Start fresh,
yeah. Yeah, okay. This is the kind of though,
>> [laughter] >> that like people never believe. They never believe me.
>> Listen, man, you might want to regenerate your init ramfs. In fairness,
Windows error reporting a lot of the time is just as obtuse as this. It's not
isolated to Linux. It's just a problem for me when I'm doing Linux
challenge or using Linux. So that's when you'll hear me complain about it on
Linux. All right, let's throw a Windows drive in here and just see if she fires
up. I feel like this video is going to end up needing to be cut down a fair
bit. You can find the extras at LMG.gg/Floatplane.
And while you're over on Floatplane, guess who's also a creator on Floatplane? The Trash Network. Get on
it. It's like 1,200 videos I've put up on that thing. Been there for like 3
years now. Love it. That's what I'm talking about. The weird flicker. That's
what it's always done, I swear. Okay, then that's good. Okay. Then I'm happy.
>> All right, let's find out if this thing works. We just want to see if there's any artifacting on screen or if there's
any weird behavior of any sort. Honestly, after seeing that bracket and
how incompetent and terrible I am, that it's actually working and not
artifacting and not melting down, but it has RGB that you hate. No, it's totally
fine. Man, you hate the RGB. Well, when I'm not here at my booth, we're going to
put it together properly now. There is nothing wrong with those fans. They They
spin. >> going to replace these fans. >> Why? They spin. It's Molex. It's a
bigger plug, and bigger means more. Don't you walk away from me. I love that
you showed up with one of the stickers that came in the box of these LTT
edition Noctua fans, so I think it'd be kind of fun to grab some
of them out of very, very, very, very long-term storage. Yeah, well, I fixed
the bracket. What have you done? I brought you these.
Oh, I've actually got a whole bunch of these at home. Oh, do you?
>> It's where I found the special stickers, like the ancient stickers. Someone
Someone sold these online in a huge pack. >> Oh, really? And I've got hundreds of
those stickers. They just threw them in. you don't need these, then. I cuz I can
get you better fans, like newer ones. Well, I mean I don't want to seem ungrateful. Those
are actually very rare fans that I can get a hold of. It's very Any Any time I
show people I have those fans >> have a hundred of them, then I'll I'll save them. I'm down to like five of
them, so you think he has more of them than I do. Let's try that again. Here's
some Noctua Industrials. Ooh. >> These are like super awesome. They're
actually IP rated, so no matter what you do to this bloody system
they got you. I really do love Noctua fans. I realize you probably don't care,
but I'm going to try and get all matching screws. I actually didn't. I I
just Yeah, I know. The disappointment emanating from you is cutting me like a
knife. >> No, no, no, no. It's not like that. I'm just I want to send you back with
something that is going to successfully
boot Linux once I'm not near it. Here's an NH-U12S that we have just kicking
around. We don't even have the packaging for it. Wow! Yeah, I don't know what happened to
this one. [laughter] Uh do you want an offset mount? Oh, actually, sure. Yeah, we might as
well. What does What does that do? What it does is it mounts it offset. Oh, it's
cuz the hot spot's not in the center. Exactly. >> Ah. Here, do you want to help me screw
it in? Not really, but I will. Okay. >> [laughter]
>> Oh, wait, why am I doing it? Here, you can do it. >> Oh, you tease. Oh, man, there's different techniques. You can do the
spots in the corners in the center. You can do the single line down the middle.
>> Just give me a blob kind of there. Uh okay, sure. The more the better. I've
seen your video where you made it rain. That was gross. >> Where we filled the socket, you mean?
How did it [laughter] How did it boo? I mean, it's non-conductive and non-capacitive. It's
by design. We'll screw it from both ends at the same time.
He's on there, bud. >> Right there. Brilliant. What's this cabinet? The single most
expensive cabinet in the Oh, it's the RAM cupboard.
>> At least we could send him out of here with dual channel memory. 48 C40U5.
That's it. That's it. We happen to have nine of them. Nine? So, we have an odd
number. So, you're lucky day. All right.
So, we're going to do a channel, boys. Now, especially with DDR5 It's a
different color. >> you don't need dual channel quite as much, especially if you're not using
onboard graphics. Hm. But, it should still help a little bit, especially, you
know to your point. >> [laughter] >> If you have a big GPU
>> PCB's different color. Uh yeah, that's actually surprisingly common. I've asked
about it, and apparently it just comes down to wherever they're sourcing it
from. It doesn't really matter. It's just a PCB. Yeah, I think we're good to
put this in. This is not staying on here, so
That took me seconds to wrap that tape around that.
Ah, there's the one. Here we go.
So, if I get the back end, you'll get the front, right? That's not even that much better. I know.
>> [laughter] >> But, I'm too lazy. Oh my god, you really
wrenched this tight. She was on there for keeps. What the
heck, dude? One from one side, one from the other, right? I'll put that with
your hardware. Thanks. You can take it with you. Yeah, yeah.
There's so many pockets in my LTT Store backpack from lttstore.com. I'll be able
to put them in there. I really wish you'd put the not broken carabiners on
that. >> I'm sorry. Everyone was invited to the >> break them.
They just fell off. I know. That's why we gave everyone replacements. I didn't
get them. Well It's because you didn't request them.
No, cuz I'm fine with it. >> [sighs] >> There you go. That's That's even almo-
That's No, it's not cen- It's fine. It's not centered. How long ago did those come out, those stickers or those
badges? We were still in the house, so it would have been 11 Wow.
>> at least at this point, yeah. It's a long time ago. Nah. Mm. Sharp, right? Uh
where else are we putting some fans? Depending on what our clearance is like
for our GPU here, we might be better off throwing some intakes on the bottom. No,
we're not going to be able to put fans there. They might fit Mm. but unless
they were counter rotating Yep.
And there's turbulence with it sitting so close. >> do it.
Oh, wow. Hang on. No. I thought it's it's this thing.
Wait, we're doing I can't do it.
Wow, this has scrambled my brain. Uh okay. Anyway, the point is unless the
fans are counter rotating, it doesn't work. You're going to add more
turbulence, you're going to add more noise, and you're not going to get much benefit in terms of airflow.
>> Cable management's kind of difficult on this case cuz there's no way to tuck
anything. It's good. Okay, new plan. So, we're going to draw air in from the back
and then we're going to exhaust out the top. Okay, now Now, hold on a second. Wait,
stop taking these cables. I You You just told me there's no cable management, but
if you look at what's going on in the top now Oh.
>> Those are cable management channels. >> Oh, now I get it. Yeah, you just weren't
using them. >> No. Okay, so I wasn't using my brain when I
built it. >> No, just No, I'm not saying that I didn't say that. I'm just saying you
didn't use the cable management. >> That's Australians like to disparage ourselves. It's fine. Where the hell are
all the fan headers on this motherboard? >> It's a good motherboard, this one.
>> Yeah. It's a good one. Why do you think I went with Molex? All right. Cuz the
power supply gave me Molex for it. How many of these splitters are you
allowed to run? >> With splitters, I've never seen it before. I think you'd have a pretty hard
time overdoing it. >> to try? >> If you hooked up too many fans to one of
them, that could be a problem, but these are fine. These are not going to be a
problem for us. Want to show me how the power supply goes in this case? Which is
my favorite bit, actually. I love how this goes in. And it just kind of
ka-klaks into the front into these little brackets. Yeah, add little dingle
screws, and off she goes. Yeah, everything's dingle.
Freakin' dingus. All right. Brilliant.
So, we don't need this Molex anymore. What? We've got the screws in one end,
but how we going to support the bum end? Cuz it's it's heavy. What you're going
to do is you're going to take some bubble wrap that I give you, and then
you're going to carry this separately. And then you're going to put it back in when you get home. >> But But even just regular use, we're
just going to let it kind of sag a little bit. I can see if we have
anything to put on it. I've got this. No, get that out of here.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, dude. It looks great.
>> Once we get this tidied up a little bit Your RGB's still doing good over there?
You love it. I swear that's how it's always been. >> I know. I believe you. Do these have
DOCP profile? Oh, look at that, they do. By the way, these fans They rip. They
go. These aren't even the 3,000 RPM ones. These are the 2,000s, but they
they move air. You know what? I'm going to move away.
I'm just going I'm going to stand here. Nothing yet.
Here it comes. It's currently worse. Yeah. Um you know
the meme of like I cleaned my PC and now it doesn't boot? >> Yeah, yeah. But, we got the BIOS,
though. >> Yeah, we got the BIOS, and it boots to Windows. It's just
me being cursed with Linux things. I'm sorry. I mean, this is all pretty well
aligned with my experiences, but [music] Sure. Now, it's not even getting past
this point. This is a new This is now a new one. We've had three different ways
that Linux hasn't booted now. None of which I've ever seen before. I would
pretend to be surprised, except I am not in the least.
So Okay, let's [laughter] turn off DOCP.
Wait. But with Windows FurMark was running perfect.
>> has lived. >> All of this is new problem. It's all software problem, though, so
kind of not my problem, you know? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we should have known better than to have Linus
touch a Linux install, so >> [laughter] >> You saw me. I didn't do anything.
>> No. No, I believe you. I need witnesses for this Have you seen the way I'm
getting lit up right now? Literally, just we took it out and put it in a new
thing and hit go, and no. Now, it's black screen. It's not even boot looping
anymore. It's now descended. I didn't do anything.
>> [music] >> We tried. Yep. But, it seems like
currently maybe it's NVIDIA, maybe it's Bazzite,
but this 4090 refuses to work in
Bazzite, but works totally fine in Windows. It's It's mint. It's It's
survived >> Windows. Yeah. It's not mint.
If it was a 3060, who like Yeah, no one would care. No one would care. But But
I'm so relieved that we didn't lose a 4090 cuz this needs to remain on this
planet cuz someone needs to use it. Show me what you got, 4090.
I can live with 4K 120. Can you? Can you live with 4K 120?
>> You know what? I can live with 4K 120. >> is okay. I think Yeah, and this is so
achievable for everybody with all their GPUs. Linux just went sad
and we don't know why. >> back on Windows. >> Oh, I can't wait to get home to my
actual rig at home >> [music] >> and have all the issues that are waiting
for me. But, there is actually a very serious issue with the RGB. I've had
this for 3 years, and I just figured it's meant to look like that. Epilepsy
is not the general standard option for most RGB. Um and now it's only on the
one. I legitimately think it is being tied to the PWM on your fans. Basically,
PWM sends pulses of voltage at a specific frequency, and how fast that is
determines how fast your fans go. So, when we have a fan running at 100%, it's
not flickering. But, these ones that are running at like 50% right now are
flickering in just the the worst manner. Yeah, so they're actually kind of smooth
now that these are finally going at 100% speed. Plouffe, have you ever seen this?
Look at this. I'm going to slow them down. >> They've always been like this. I've had
this for 3 years. No. No, it's always been like this. It's a
feature, not Whoa, yeah, they're changing. >> So, as we speed up the fans, the blinking
the rate goes faster until it gets solid at max speed. It's actually pretty cool.
>> Yeah, the only way to make your RGB look kind of nice is to run it full speed,
but I have another solution. Turn it off. Off. Hey, with this case that makes
the most sense to be honest. Like it's it's we just button it up and um
