WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
Give it a shake. No, I don't want to shake your computer. What you What I'm

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.720
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?

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:13.200
>> Adelaide Airport, Brisbane Airport,

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:17.480
maybe Qantas, potentially Air Canada. You want to see the footage of it coming

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.480
off the conveyor belt.

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.400
And that was when the GP was already rattling loose. Did you have your GPU

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:27.320
installed in it? Yeah. What kind of GPU?

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:32.840
4090. Nothing that's completely out of stock and hard to find and worth three

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.840
times the value it was when it was new.

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.360
This is why you didn't see me gaming at the Whalan. >> That's yours, mate. That's That's I

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:44.160
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?

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:47.880
It's a 4090 in it. We're going to assess the damage.

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.080
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.

00:00:52.160 --> 00:01:01.640
It wasn't packed like this originally. You did not ship a system in this cheap,

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:05.000
shitty foam. I added foam. There was foam underneath. There was I added

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:09.480
extra. Look, and it's non-biodegradable. That's how you know it's good. That's

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.840
not how foam works, Wade. But that is

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:15.680
how we do a segway to our sponsor,

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.760
Oh, now you're being careful with it, mate. Thank you so much. >> it had so much foam on it.

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.520
But dude, you just cussed me out for for not being good enough. Why the hell is

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:50.000
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

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.880
4090 and dollar store 80 mm fans in the

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.440
same system? >> thank you very much. Look Look I already had a 4090 that I couldn't get rid of.

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:00.040
>> Wow, what a problem. >> I came all the way to all the way across

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.320
the country, the whole stinking planet, >> Right. >> to a channel that I've been watching for

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:07.760
over a decade. >> to bring something good. Had to bring something interesting.

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:10.640
>> So you brought those 80 mm fans. Yeah, and oh, that's a bigger one. Do Do you

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:16.240
like these stickers I put on it? >> Wow, that's pretty cool, actually. >> huh? I was bringing so much stuff. I

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.080
didn't have room in my LTT Store backpack from lttstore.com. Don't look

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:26.240
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

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:30.280
move at all, but you can see the bottom bracket has been completely kapowed into

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.520
oblivion, and that's now bent. Wade, your story makes absolutely no sense.

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.440
You brought a 4090 and cheap fans because your backpack couldn't fit a

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:41.800
computer, but you have the computer, and then also your bracket is broken. It

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.160
wasn't when I packed it. All right, let's take a look. There was a screw

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.960
there. I don't know why it's missing. Right, that's probably one of the ones we heard before. That's Remolex. Stock

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:54.280
cooler on that baby. Right. >> only needs it. Needs that cooling. This

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:56.520
is a very imbalanced build, Wade. >> Oh boy, is it?

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.760
>> And a single stick of RAM. >> Do you want to see the price for it? >> But it's DDR5. Wade, no. Shut up. You

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.000
didn't buy it during the RAMpocalypse, did you? Well, I had to put some It

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.080
doesn't boot without RAM in it, you dingus. So you just mean you could have

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.240
gone DDR4. This is all the cheapest stuff I could get except for the 4090,

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.600
which I already had. [music] And that you probably broke.

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.440
310 bucks. Wow, that's really unfortunate. Can I Can I have that back,

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.600
mate? Okay, actually No, put it back in the machine. No, I'm going to put it here cuz we're taking this machine

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:28.760
apart. Yeah, we're not leaving it like this. Yeah, that's a good mount. That's

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:31.920
a good one that was. We made that in the Garbage Time warehouse. Can you believe?

00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:35.080
That was laying on the ground. Yes, I believe you. It was mounted so good. It

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.920
wasn't going anywhere. >> I But it did. Well, until someone dropped it. That's what happened. So

00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.280
it's gone boom, and the weight of all the VRAM it's got made it bend.

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:47.920
>> All right, let me have a look here. It's still in the slot. Luke took a look at

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:51.960
this at Whalan, and he was like, "Ah, that'll fire up." He didn't seem that

00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:56.920
worried. I'm hoping that these brackets took the brunt like suspension.

00:03:54.920 --> 00:04:01.440
Wait! That'll never go back. Good.

00:04:00.387 --> 00:04:06.640
>> [laughter] >> Honestly, this bottom one is bad. Wow!

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:09.440
How do you even do that? Can I even do that with

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.640
Okay, no, no, it's made of nothing. This seems stronger in my mind. >> Yeah. Well, Okay, all It's all making

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:18.920
more sense the further we're getting into this. I want this to work because

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:22.520
for my understanding, we have committed to provide any hardware you need to make

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:26.360
it work. So I need you to not break anything else. I'm not I'm not I want

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.840
this to work cuz Luke's got his name on it. For Luke, I will try to salvage

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:34.400
this. For Luke. It is a chunky boy, isn't it? >> I've never heard him called that before,

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.880
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

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.240
agree. I've I've bent my fair share of heat sinks in my day. There was loose

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.400
rattling noises all through this. >> No, I know. That's what I'm mostly

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:51.360
worried about. I actually I actually suspect the GPU is probably okay. That's

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:56.720
the only thing worth money in this entire box. >> That is so not true. You have the 2 TB

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:00.280
SSD in here. I just want to pull everything out of here, and let's fire

00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:05.240
this up on a test bench, okay? Hey, is that from LTX? Yeah, 23. That's

00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:08.160
sick. And all the signatures that have worn off cuz that's how much I use it.

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.120
>> I was about to say, my favorite thing about it is how shiny the plastic is. I

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:16.600
seriously love these cases, by the way. Yeah, just needs to not um ship them

00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:20.360
with the stock foam. In fairness to you, it's not like there's resources out

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:26.520
there where you can see how to prepare your system for transport to a LAN.

00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:31.200
Especially 16-hour flights and layovers. >> Yeah, like no one's ever made a video

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.840
about that before. Hey,

00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:36.880
there's your screw. >> Oh, thanks. And let's grab a test bench. Why did you put a nut in it?

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.480
>> Oh, like this? Yeah. Oh, it just keeps the cable from just floppy doodle-ing

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.200
all over the place. No, I'm balanced at all this guy. This is This is nice.

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.480
>> I mean, I don't think it's that big of a deal. What processor did you say you had

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.480
in there? I mean, it's a big number. 8600G.

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.160
Yeah, that's a Zen 4. I think you're expecting me to be a lot more upset

00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.640
about this than I'm actually going to be. I'm I'm actually surprised how chill

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:03.520
you are with everything except for the foam. The foam really got you going. No,

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:07.280
I I don't like that foam. That foam is it's totally unsuitable. But if it

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:09.560
survives, then you can take it all back. You're going to be blown away. This

00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:14.600
thing is going to just work. >> This thing bought on X. I'm telling you.

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:19.360
Cheap on X good. [laughter] I'm pretty sure I can address that.

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:21.760
Okay. Well, this is no less secure than what I did. All right, this is This is

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.160
good. >> I'm not shipping it anywhere. >> [laughter]

00:06:24.760 --> 00:06:29.160
>> That's the difference. It had fragile on the box. They should have respected

00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:34.720
that. >> That's how they know to throw it harder. Okay, this is a big moment. Fail.

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:39.160
>> the RGB? Uh we'll figure the RGB out. You can't

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:42.480
tell if it's Linux loading or if it's actually working fine cuz man, you've

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:47.120
had bad [music] bad runs with Linux. >> Dude, okay. I tried to install Bazzite

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:50.520
on my media PC and Kubuntu on my work laptop.

00:06:48.724 --> 00:06:55.840
>> [laughter] >> And then this one was just stuck there.

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:58.560
That's so good. Go, 8600G. Do it. Get in

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:01.320
there. Your 8600G is fine. We're going to overclock that memory a little bit.

00:07:01.169 --> 00:07:09.280
>> [laughter] >> That's fine. That's fine. It's 4800, and that's brand new DDR5. There's no way

00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:13.360
that Micron is fabbing any dies today that can only do 4800 and will not go

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:17.080
any higher. I've never overclocked anything. Ever.

00:07:15.080 --> 00:07:19.920
Really? Yeah. I play with iPods where people think I'm smart because I put a

00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.680
battery in something and then seal it back up. Right. I have a jazz degree. I

00:07:22.200 --> 00:07:26.400
I can't tell when he's joking or not. No, I'm being dead serious. Jazz philosophy.

00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:31.300
>> Yes. No, and I'm not actually kidding. Look at my face. I'm being dead serious. I

00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:34.680
can't look at him. >> [laughter] >> I can't look at him tell me he's a jazz

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:38.200
philosopher and not laugh. >> I am actually a jazz philosopher. Sorry,

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:41.960
you'll have to keep rolling because I don't know when this is going to itself.

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:46.840
What, you sound it's fine? I'm saying it could be. It would have booted already.

00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:51.520
The ultimate [music] force. Okay, entering emergency mode.

00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:53.520
>> So I know what happened here.

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:55.720
I was present. This is exactly what I got with Bazzite the other day.

00:07:54.880 --> 00:08:01.640
>> [laughter] >> I've never seen this. You're cursed. You've cursed my computer.

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:04.400
>> I know. I Luckily, this was smashed in its box.

00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:08.120
>> There's a god of irony somewhere that was sitting [music] there going,

00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:11.560
"How funny would it be if there's a tech guy who we name He makes sure his name

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:16.280
Linus, and he can't touch a Linux system

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:19.160
without it up?" Do you know your way out of this, or are

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:24.040
you literally stuck in this hell zone? No, I What I tried was I pressed Ctrl D

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.040
to continue, and it didn't work. >> This is not the issue I was expecting to

00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:30.960
have, but it lines up very well with your frustrations with Linux.

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:34.840
I'm going to go grab another SSD, and let's just start fresh. Start fresh,

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.479
yeah. Yeah, okay. This is the kind of though,

00:08:36.145 --> 00:08:40.880
>> [laughter] >> that like people never believe. They never believe me.

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.840
>> Listen, man, you might want to regenerate your init ramfs. In fairness,

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:51.280
Windows error reporting a lot of the time is just as obtuse as this. It's not

00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:55.760
isolated to Linux. It's just a problem for me when I'm doing Linux

00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:59.000
challenge or using Linux. So that's when you'll hear me complain about it on

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.480
Linux. All right, let's throw a Windows drive in here and just see if she fires

00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:05.280
up. I feel like this video is going to end up needing to be cut down a fair

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.360
bit. You can find the extras at LMG.gg/Floatplane.

00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:14.440
And while you're over on Floatplane, guess who's also a creator on Floatplane? The Trash Network. Get on

00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:17.240
it. It's like 1,200 videos I've put up on that thing. Been there for like 3

00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:21.680
years now. Love it. That's what I'm talking about. The weird flicker. That's

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.840
what it's always done, I swear. Okay, then that's good. Okay. Then I'm happy.

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:31.040
>> 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

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:35.040
any weird behavior of any sort. Honestly, after seeing that bracket and

00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:38.960
how incompetent and terrible I am, that it's actually working and not

00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:43.200
artifacting and not melting down, but it has RGB that you hate. No, it's totally

00:09:41.560 --> 00:09:46.400
fine. Man, you hate the RGB. Well, when I'm not here at my booth, we're going to

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:48.840
put it together properly now. There is nothing wrong with those fans. They They

00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:53.960
spin. >> going to replace these fans. >> Why? They spin. It's Molex. It's a

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:57.720
bigger plug, and bigger means more. Don't you walk away from me. I love that

00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:01.920
you showed up with one of the stickers that came in the box of these LTT

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:06.760
edition Noctua fans, so I think it'd be kind of fun to grab some

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:10.320
of them out of very, very, very, very long-term storage. Yeah, well, I fixed

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:15.320
the bracket. What have you done? I brought you these.

00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.480
Oh, I've actually got a whole bunch of these at home. Oh, do you?

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:21.800
>> It's where I found the special stickers, like the ancient stickers. Someone

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:25.840
Someone sold these online in a huge pack. >> Oh, really? And I've got hundreds of

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:29.040
those stickers. They just threw them in. you don't need these, then. I cuz I can

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.800
get you better fans, like newer ones. Well, I mean I don't want to seem ungrateful. Those

00:10:31.280 --> 00:10:36.640
are actually very rare fans that I can get a hold of. It's very Any Any time I

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:42.480
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

00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:47.200
them, so you think he has more of them than I do. Let's try that again. Here's

00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:51.000
some Noctua Industrials. Ooh. >> These are like super awesome. They're

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:55.440
actually IP rated, so no matter what you do to this bloody system

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:58.640
they got you. I really do love Noctua fans. I realize you probably don't care,

00:10:57.640 --> 00:11:03.600
but I'm going to try and get all matching screws. I actually didn't. I I

00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:05.960
just Yeah, I know. The disappointment emanating from you is cutting me like a

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:12.760
knife. >> No, no, no, no. It's not like that. I'm just I want to send you back with

00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:14.440
something that is going to successfully

00:11:12.760 --> 00:11:17.400
boot Linux once I'm not near it. Here's an NH-U12S that we have just kicking

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:21.400
around. We don't even have the packaging for it. Wow! Yeah, I don't know what happened to

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.040
this one. [laughter] Uh do you want an offset mount? Oh, actually, sure. Yeah, we might as

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.920
well. What does What does that do? What it does is it mounts it offset. Oh, it's

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:34.962
cuz the hot spot's not in the center. Exactly. >> Ah. Here, do you want to help me screw

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:37.040
it in? Not really, but I will. Okay. >> [laughter]

00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.480
>> 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

00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:44.440
spots in the corners in the center. You can do the single line down the middle.

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:47.600
>> Just give me a blob kind of there. Uh okay, sure. The more the better. I've

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:51.839
seen your video where you made it rain. That was gross. >> Where we filled the socket, you mean?

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.760
How did it [laughter] How did it boo? I mean, it's non-conductive and non-capacitive. It's

00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:59.560
by design. We'll screw it from both ends at the same time.

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:11.480
He's on there, bud. >> Right there. Brilliant. What's this cabinet? The single most

00:12:08.520 --> 00:12:13.760
expensive cabinet in the Oh, it's the RAM cupboard.

00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:20.240
>> At least we could send him out of here with dual channel memory. 48 C40U5.

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:26.280
That's it. That's it. We happen to have nine of them. Nine? So, we have an odd

00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:28.560
number. So, you're lucky day. All right.

00:12:26.280 --> 00:12:31.360
So, we're going to do a channel, boys. Now, especially with DDR5 It's a

00:12:30.760 --> 00:12:38.080
different color. >> you don't need dual channel quite as much, especially if you're not using

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.480
onboard graphics. Hm. But, it should still help a little bit, especially, you

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:46.160
know to your point. >> [laughter] >> If you have a big GPU

00:12:44.400 --> 00:12:49.800
>> PCB's different color. Uh yeah, that's actually surprisingly common. I've asked

00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:53.000
about it, and apparently it just comes down to wherever they're sourcing it

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:57.560
from. It doesn't really matter. It's just a PCB. Yeah, I think we're good to

00:12:54.800 --> 00:13:00.400
put this in. This is not staying on here, so

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:06.920
That took me seconds to wrap that tape around that.

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:06.920
Ah, there's the one. Here we go.

00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:12.640
So, if I get the back end, you'll get the front, right? That's not even that much better. I know.

00:13:11.904 --> 00:13:16.880
>> [laughter] >> But, I'm too lazy. Oh my god, you really

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:20.520
wrenched this tight. She was on there for keeps. What the

00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:24.320
heck, dude? One from one side, one from the other, right? I'll put that with

00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:29.080
your hardware. Thanks. You can take it with you. Yeah, yeah.

00:13:27.520 --> 00:13:32.440
There's so many pockets in my LTT Store backpack from lttstore.com. I'll be able

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.600
to put them in there. I really wish you'd put the not broken carabiners on

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:40.920
that. >> I'm sorry. Everyone was invited to the >> break them.

00:13:38.920 --> 00:13:44.240
They just fell off. I know. That's why we gave everyone replacements. I didn't

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.584
get them. Well It's because you didn't request them.

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:52.920
No, cuz I'm fine with it. >> [sighs] >> There you go. That's That's even almo-

00:13:51.560 --> 00:13:57.320
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

00:13:55.760 --> 00:14:00.240
badges? We were still in the house, so it would have been 11 Wow.

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:05.520
>> at least at this point, yeah. It's a long time ago. Nah. Mm. Sharp, right? Uh

00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:09.680
where else are we putting some fans? Depending on what our clearance is like

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.480
for our GPU here, we might be better off throwing some intakes on the bottom. No,

00:14:12.040 --> 00:14:19.320
we're not going to be able to put fans there. They might fit Mm. but unless

00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:22.160
they were counter rotating Yep.

00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:25.480
And there's turbulence with it sitting so close. >> do it.

00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:32.839
Oh, wow. Hang on. No. I thought it's it's this thing.

00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:37.600
Wait, we're doing I can't do it.

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:42.120
Wow, this has scrambled my brain. Uh okay. Anyway, the point is unless the

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:44.160
fans are counter rotating, it doesn't work. You're going to add more

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:48.079
turbulence, you're going to add more noise, and you're not going to get much benefit in terms of airflow.

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.440
>> Cable management's kind of difficult on this case cuz there's no way to tuck

00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:56.520
anything. It's good. Okay, new plan. So, we're going to draw air in from the back

00:14:55.280 --> 00:15:01.480
and then we're going to exhaust out the top. Okay, now Now, hold on a second. Wait,

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:04.440
stop taking these cables. I You You just told me there's no cable management, but

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:09.000
if you look at what's going on in the top now Oh.

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.480
>> Those are cable management channels. >> Oh, now I get it. Yeah, you just weren't

00:15:10.800 --> 00:15:15.400
using them. >> No. Okay, so I wasn't using my brain when I

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:19.560
built it. >> No, just No, I'm not saying that I didn't say that. I'm just saying you

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:24.880
didn't use the cable management. >> That's Australians like to disparage ourselves. It's fine. Where the hell are

00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:29.600
all the fan headers on this motherboard? >> It's a good motherboard, this one.

00:15:27.079 --> 00:15:33.959
>> Yeah. It's a good one. Why do you think I went with Molex? All right. Cuz the

00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:35.920
power supply gave me Molex for it. How many of these splitters are you

00:15:35.079 --> 00:15:41.079
allowed to run? >> With splitters, I've never seen it before. I think you'd have a pretty hard

00:15:39.800 --> 00:15:45.959
time overdoing it. >> to try? >> If you hooked up too many fans to one of

00:15:43.520 --> 00:15:48.600
them, that could be a problem, but these are fine. These are not going to be a

00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:51.839
problem for us. Want to show me how the power supply goes in this case? Which is

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:55.800
my favorite bit, actually. I love how this goes in. And it just kind of

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:59.760
ka-klaks into the front into these little brackets. Yeah, add little dingle

00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:06.000
screws, and off she goes. Yeah, everything's dingle.

00:16:02.839 --> 00:16:08.320
Freakin' dingus. All right. Brilliant.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:12.320
So, we don't need this Molex anymore. What? We've got the screws in one end,

00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:15.839
but how we going to support the bum end? Cuz it's it's heavy. What you're going

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.200
to do is you're going to take some bubble wrap that I give you, and then

00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:24.320
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

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:28.520
just going to let it kind of sag a little bit. I can see if we have

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.520
anything to put on it. I've got this. No, get that out of here.

00:16:29.716 --> 00:16:34.520
>> [laughter] >> Oh, dude. It looks great.

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:38.600
>> Once we get this tidied up a little bit Your RGB's still doing good over there?

00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:42.760
You love it. I swear that's how it's always been. >> I know. I believe you. Do these have

00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:46.640
DOCP profile? Oh, look at that, they do. By the way, these fans They rip. They

00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:49.880
go. These aren't even the 3,000 RPM ones. These are the 2,000s, but they

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:54.640
they move air. You know what? I'm going to move away.

00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:57.480
I'm just going I'm going to stand here. Nothing yet.

00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:03.880
Here it comes. It's currently worse. Yeah. Um you know

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.360
the meme of like I cleaned my PC and now it doesn't boot? >> Yeah, yeah. But, we got the BIOS,

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.160
though. >> Yeah, we got the BIOS, and it boots to Windows. It's just

00:17:09.560 --> 00:17:14.720
me being cursed with Linux things. I'm sorry. I mean, this is all pretty well

00:17:12.679 --> 00:17:18.000
aligned with my experiences, but [music] Sure. Now, it's not even getting past

00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:23.000
this point. This is a new This is now a new one. We've had three different ways

00:17:20.760 --> 00:17:26.920
that Linux hasn't booted now. None of which I've ever seen before. I would

00:17:24.959 --> 00:17:30.120
pretend to be surprised, except I am not in the least.

00:17:28.199 --> 00:17:34.960
So Okay, let's [laughter] turn off DOCP.

00:17:32.560 --> 00:17:37.440
Wait. But with Windows FurMark was running perfect.

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:43.720
>> has lived. >> All of this is new problem. It's all software problem, though, so

00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:47.662
kind of not my problem, you know? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we should have known better than to have Linus

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:52.400
touch a Linux install, so >> [laughter] >> You saw me. I didn't do anything.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:55.720
>> No. No, I believe you. I need witnesses for this Have you seen the way I'm

00:17:53.920 --> 00:18:00.760
getting lit up right now? Literally, just we took it out and put it in a new

00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:04.679
thing and hit go, and no. Now, it's black screen. It's not even boot looping

00:18:02.800 --> 00:18:10.960
anymore. It's now descended. I didn't do anything.

00:18:09.277 --> 00:18:14.000
>> [music] >> We tried. Yep. But, it seems like

00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:19.480
currently maybe it's NVIDIA, maybe it's Bazzite,

00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:21.440
but this 4090 refuses to work in

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:24.320
Bazzite, but works totally fine in Windows. It's It's mint. It's It's

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:30.440
survived >> Windows. Yeah. It's not mint.

00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:33.960
If it was a 3060, who like Yeah, no one would care. No one would care. But But

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:38.919
I'm so relieved that we didn't lose a 4090 cuz this needs to remain on this

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:43.280
planet cuz someone needs to use it. Show me what you got, 4090.

00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:45.960
I can live with 4K 120. Can you? Can you live with 4K 120?

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:50.280
>> You know what? I can live with 4K 120. >> is okay. I think Yeah, and this is so

00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:54.280
achievable for everybody with all their GPUs. Linux just went sad

00:18:53.120 --> 00:18:57.748
and we don't know why. >> back on Windows. >> Oh, I can't wait to get home to my

00:18:56.600 --> 00:19:01.480
actual rig at home >> [music] >> and have all the issues that are waiting

00:18:59.800 --> 00:19:05.640
for me. But, there is actually a very serious issue with the RGB. I've had

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:09.080
this for 3 years, and I just figured it's meant to look like that. Epilepsy

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:14.240
is not the general standard option for most RGB. Um and now it's only on the

00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:18.560
one. I legitimately think it is being tied to the PWM on your fans. Basically,

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:22.159
PWM sends pulses of voltage at a specific frequency, and how fast that is

00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:25.800
determines how fast your fans go. So, when we have a fan running at 100%, it's

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:29.600
not flickering. But, these ones that are running at like 50% right now are

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.880
flickering in just the the worst manner. Yeah, so they're actually kind of smooth

00:19:31.159 --> 00:19:36.480
now that these are finally going at 100% speed. Plouffe, have you ever seen this?

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:39.320
Look at this. I'm going to slow them down. >> They've always been like this. I've had

00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:43.600
this for 3 years. No. No, it's always been like this. It's a

00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:49.040
feature, not Whoa, yeah, they're changing. >> So, as we speed up the fans, the blinking

00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:52.520
the rate goes faster until it gets solid at max speed. It's actually pretty cool.

00:19:51.080 --> 00:19:56.120
>> Yeah, the only way to make your RGB look kind of nice is to run it full speed,

00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:01.080
but I have another solution. Turn it off. Off. Hey, with this case that makes

00:19:59.040 --> 00:20:05.920
the most sense to be honest. Like it's it's we just button it up and um

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:09.720
>> she's gone there, bud. What a machine. All right. And what a segue. Ugreen. You

00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:13.360
look like you have a lot of charging and data transfer needs in your life.

00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:17.360
Ugreen's Max Dock Thunderbolt 5 docking station has a total of 17 ports for all

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:21.200
of your needs. Charge your phone, tablet, laptop, Switch too, battery

00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:25.480
bank, e-reader, portable portable Betamax player, sorry.

00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:30.520
The Intel certified Thunderbolt 5 ports can transfer up to 120 gigabits per

00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:34.240
second, which can transfer a 6 GB video file in what feels like an instant.

00:20:32.560 --> 00:20:40.160
Unlike other docks, it has a built-in NVMe PCIe Gen 4 slot, so you can open

00:20:37.520 --> 00:20:44.320
and edit 4K assets and other large files directly. You can connect up to three

00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:48.040
independent Windows displays or two on Mac, letting you work smoothly across

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:53.640
screens, which makes this great for your new MacBook. The Max Dock has 240 watts

00:20:51.040 --> 00:20:57.560
of total power and a built-in 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port for reliable wired

00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:02.120
connections. Even if you're using it 24/7, it stays cool thanks to the zinc

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:05.960
alloy outer shell and large aluminum heat sink, as well as the temperature
