okay we're not actually related and I'm pretty sure I'm older than him but
hanging out with Lucas makes me feel like the little brother and we can't
start his AMD $5,000 ultimate Tech upgrade until we can find some way to
get us both in the freaking shot maybe this will work Lucas works
hard on power supplies testing for the lab and we can't shoot the whole video like
this cut we can't make him shorter so
we're going to have to make me taller these are wow these are some incredible
Crocs okay how's
that Ah that's more like
it I have never used these before what could go
wrong okay hey that's
better anyway like I was saying Lucas works on power supply circuit and power
supply reviews on LTT Labs.com I can't believe it's taking so long for an LT
Labs member to get a $5,000 ultimate Tech upgrade from our sponsor AMD but
here we are both high as [ __ ] and ready to get to
work get it it's a it's a I got there
you're like not even that much taller before we get to the upgrade as
is tradition we've got
a all right I think we're going to have to lose the stilts
if it's AMD upgrade time then it must also be AMD sweep Stakes time you could
win one of three am5 upgrade bundles featuring the fastest gaming CPU on the
market the AMD ryzen 79800 x3d along
with an Asus motherboard and 32 gigs of ddr5 RAM check out the link in the
description for your chance to win I think we're just going to have to live
with this anyway to be honest given what a minimalist you are I don't think we're
going to find that much stuff from the office here we don't even have the
decency to steal an LTT Store water bottle no
aha I paid for that one you think it was
probably comped there's no way you bought this dbrand Rubik's Cube probably
used the gift from dbrand a gift from dbrand really there's no way you bought
an Apple polishing cloth it was a gift from who from my brother really yeah was
your brother meing no no oh this is going to be a problem if I have to kneel
to look at something you're not going to anyway the point is this computer is
definitely pilfered Christmas party that's what they all say and these
dbrand dark plates another gift from dbrand GI from dbrand I guess this
explains how debrand always knows what I'm up to my entire staff is moles and I
don't think I'm going to find anything else in here like literally anything
else it feels like we're bringing more stuff in here than there already was was
is minimalism a lifestyle is it I don't
like clutter I don't know can you explain the random sheet of cardboard
under your bed that I only know about because I went and put my backpack in
there it's where I throw all the Clutter so the cardboard is like a floor
protector I think it's protective yeah and the LED strip around the cardboard
it looks cool that's a Vibe got it when you're taller you can't see the
cardboard admittedly that is true they do look pretty cool yeah I programmed
them myself for this r random rainbow star pattern one piece of clutter though
that it's just
breadboarded nice actually there is one more notable piece of clutter uh what's
going on with this right now I to buy a car I can't bike very much so you know
maybe a new television will make you feel better can watch them tour to
France cool let's have a look all right
there's the back of the TV so normally we're upgrading some 's TV but now you
just like have a TV now was not having a TV before part of the minimalism thing
or just laziness I guess I don't know huh got a good screen on my laptop
it's funny because if I hadn't immediately moved out with Yvonne other
than probably being like messier than this this is probably what my place
would have been like like when we first moved into our house even with Ivonne
and her desire for you know Furniture and Things uh we just had a mattress on
the floor like we didn't even have a bed frame to start with like you at least
have a bed got you there yeah yeah nice thank you let's put the stand on and
maybe while we do that you can tell me why you chose the LG C3 uh it's one of
the top three or four oleds they just released a C4 but I think it's only a
bit brighter and not too much else yeah I think it will be pretty
good especially given you're upgrading from zero laptop yeah yeah I feel like
this is going to be one of those videos where like half the comments are like
Linus's company doesn't pay enough because luas can't
own anything okay where does it go you
don't by any chance have a TV stand do you in a box yeah in two boxes oh really
I assumed like your level of minimalism it was just going to like I'm also
taller so that might work for
some is this couch new or did you like have a couch uh my mom insisted on it
when she came over for my surgery you did not own a couch until your mom came
to visit you no yeah that cardboard is from the coach so before we do the
furniture we've got to clean the floor I
noticed two things actually first I noticed that your place is immaculately
clean like like too clean like you have picture hangers on the wall but no
pictures on them like it's weird so then why do you need this then it looked
really fancy I I don't know very tempy to but
get the best of everything so it's not a great value no no how much was this it's
like a th000 Canadian I know well I think the fancy
thing about this is there's a laser in the head here so a what a laser so it
shows like dust or something what there's a picture on the box I think
reveals invisible dust you didn't even know it was
dirty if you don't know like does it matter you can feel it you can
tell that looks like trash that looks
nothing like the picture on the box that's not a laser turn off the lights
well no I just mean it's all on the one side like what's their where's their
diffusion layer it's that does I mean
yeah but I could see that already oh just there's no dust here
dude there is no dust on your floor this place is like borderline neurotically
clean like you know that right
thanks comes with a wall mount though are you are you okay mounting anything
on the wall like I couldn't help noticing the previous tenant had
pictures um you were like yeah the hangers are okay I guess but that's the
most I can handle don't like leaving a Mark I don't know but there's already a
mark Mar you you could you could put something on it I was thinking about hanging my Lego map but it's very heavy
and probably wouldn't be supported by those Lucas you keep this place so tidy
I think they'd probably be okay if you put like a drywall anchor in the
wall look at the anxiety here this is hilarious I'm about to break his brain
if you don't wall mount it it will go on the floor and it would be clutter I'll
tell you what Lucas as my gift to you when I go to Home Depot to get some
drywall anchors I will bring back a little bit of
spackle would that would that satisfy you sounds good okay decide where you're
wall mounting it I also I don't know if it's in the
closet I don't know if there's power in there probably do you want to figure it
out I got you wait wait there really got to watch out for this this is a flip dot
display or it's like electromechanical no way yeah it's electromechanical
display it's made of of these tiny uh discs and they have a little magnet in
them and then underneath there's coils of wire and you uh they flip them back
and forth using you know by running current through the C of wire so what
are you going to use it for is it a clock is it a expression of your not
decided yet minimalism maybe you'll just have it all white yeah uh maybe build a
frame for it or get more of them and put them all together but they're quite
expensive so right what's one of these worth like
$700 oh no I left a mark on the floor when I was sliding the table it's
really bad I'm not
convinced need to work on your
acting his mama didn't raise no fool she just raised someone who doesn't think
couches are necessary there isn't like a regular outlet there's just power for
the washing machine so nope it's going to have to be mounted somewhere else got
him under the bed no you can't put it
under the bed I think probably this corner would work I want to see see him
put a hole in something I just I don't know there's like kind of like a weird
almost perverse like desire to just like
watch him violate his wall I have a broken uh hand thing
so oh like yeah I guess it's it's a it's
a lot I can't even play badminton
so sorry what were you saying about your deposit and holes in the wall I'll just
bill you for my security
deposit all right and ah shut
up we're charging this could be a short
extension for you you wanted it longer right so I mean there look now you have
an extension so let's see okay how far can you reach now oh God a lot of
articulation what happened as you get older
well and as promised here's your putty knife and spackle for when you're going
to need this later I'll throw it under the bed for you oh great thanks
now why don't we talk about your Soundbar I guess you um missed the video
we did on how you can build a full 5.1 surround setup off Facebook Marketplace
for a fraction of the cost of a soundbar yeah that one came up a bit too late for
me to make some choices I also feel like it really wouldn't have been your style
no I do like this one you know it's nice compact I'm not too much of a sound guy
I don't like you know loud noises so plus I think it's like like homekit
compatible and all that stuff so that's nice just use it for
other ultimate contrast now your whole thing is like you know evaluating Power
Products so surge protectors actually
necessary Placebo um they will probably have
components in there it's hard to say about each individual one um but yeah
they will have you know surge mitigating components in there so good to have this
is something that drives me crazy every TV manufacturer must know that you're
going to have a soundar under it and yet none of them leave a spot to rut the
cable for it if I designed products they would be different speaking of Designing
products do we have any other the power bar mounting things yeah oh yeah yeah
yeah we do let's go magnetic Cable Management oh wow oh this is
cute huh thanks wow those
sweds while Jordan finishes cable managing the TV I was thinking Lucas you
and I could work on your new gaming system
great why do you even need a new system you just got that computer last year
it's very large um yeah you wouldn't
have any space to put something as big as that computer all these new additions
you know got to make some room okay well
what' you go for 7800 x3d obvious choice
obviously a little bit um early to make the decision for the new 9800 also
they're completely out of stock everywhere because people keep buying them way to go people and then a small
more case power supply obviously we have a review for this one on the LTG Labs
website oh and so this one's good that's a good one yeah good choice all right
thank you I mean you can believe him out of literally everyone who works here
he's the one who knows what else we got here 32 gigs of gskill memory ddr5 6000
cl30 it's pretty much your sweet spot for am5 right now so you're carrying
over your GPU from your old system from the existing one yes now you have a
pretty mid-range GPU in there and this raised some questions for me uh exactly
what games are you playing such that you need a 7800x 3D second fastest gaming
ship on the planet basically but you like don't need a GPU
I play mostly rocket League um and oh
that happens to be a game that like runs pretty good on yes thank you uh but a
lot of this a lot of decisions were um Health by John at the Labs as well he
knows a lot about computers so are you building the computer do you build computers or do you just test power SP
I've never built a computer now well there's no time like the
present I'm excited yeah let's do it and
by let's I mean you great single monitor extra tall TK Mount nice uh Hey Reese
are you looking for something to do do you want to build this oh no what what
are you building um a blue thing a blue thing
for the bike is it a stand it's a stand yeah like a repair stand cool oh so you
are going to fix it we hope well I'll have another bike eventually oh is that
one not fixable no it's a write off oh
the frames bent like skewed so you're getting distracted you're supposed to be
building the computer though right he's he's avoiding it he's worried you guys
will judge him you wouldn't do that would
you this is better framing for the two of us than if you stand so yep nicely
featured board got PCIe Gen 5 for both
m.2 and PCIe by 16 slot so you'll be
ready for future GPU upgrades got front USB support um got a couple m.2 slots
yeah carry on don't let me get in the way do I remove that what you do is you
lift it up without removing that okay so just remember you damage those pins it's
game over no pressure though arrows oh yeah now you have to do it again for the
closeup M yeah doing doing things for
the first CPU install let's go oh wow
fun fact this breaks sherrod's law of
memory installation alignment oh no no that's right no no you were
right the first time never mind yep no this follows shad's law shad's law
states that you don't have to look at the key on the memory module you just
look at the location of the sticker and the most cosmetically appealing side is
usually facing away from the CPU socket it's one of those things if where if
you're not computer sexual I don't blame you for not knowing which side of a
memory module is the more attractive one right memory's in do you remember what's
next I think it would be to either insult in the case or I think we have to
dismantled my previous computer to oh yeah you have no storage some of the
stuff yeah cool point of that one all right let's do it I couldn't help
noticing something over here by the way you have a PC but you actually go
out of your way to use an Apple keyboard wait you use time machine hold on a second where oh there's your MacBook
this isn't even on do you even use this thing I use it for Rocket League uh
that's about it this is the part I'm the expert at you unplugging PCI nice power
yeah I guess you do that a lot probably hundreds of computer is worth he's in
his comfort zone right now folks well now he's out of it is that
the wrong one I mean you'll have to remove that one eventually but not now
it's a lot yeah it's a lot harder when that other one is in the way of it there
you go every time I see a post on Reddit or on the form or whatever it's like
building communities is like easy it's just Lego for adults it's like you I
think you're taking for granted all the things that you have experienced before
like I think if you put a Lego kit in front of someone with no instructions
yeah yeah building a computer's a belat like that for people who haven't done it
before and there's like a 100 different mechanisms for the PCI retention like is
this actually holding in I can't even see I think it's just brace yeah it is
oh is it like bolt in or just brace you tell me I actually really like that I
didn't know that main gear used braces like that to hold their gpus in place
but that's wicked smart oh my goodness that's just
ludicrous okay is this like standing desk but you're too cheap to get a
standing desk or like what human right
requires
this he's
like okay I think it might actually be too tall even for you yeah I was
planning on using two bars so you can buy in one bar or three bar I have the
one bar uh I probably need a two bar I will take out a bar okay yeah let's take
out a bar uh we're almost done the uh bike stand or whatever this thing is it
is a bike stand right this thing it's a stand yeah like a repair stand listening
I'm going to assume it's a bike stand it's kind of like the Snap-on of bike
tools oh really so this was like a hey thanks AMD I wouldn't pay for this
myself kind of purchase yeah but it's you know nice and sturdy and blue so
like like how much weight can it support like I'm not done here I'm not done here
yet you're getting distracted again right just reusing your old solid Drive
uh we've got a phantom Spirit that's going into Lucas's machine this is going
to be more than enough to keep that 7800 X 3D
cool I think I was told for clearance reasons that I need these for clearance
reasons like to the case for the I'm not sure see there's all the wiring that we
need to build a functioning computer and then you basically double or triple it
if you want to put any RGB in it and you I'm fine with RGB oh so we're just not
going to hook it up just run it black yeah I you see it any we're not going to
be here all day hey look at that Reese's done the bicycle stand why are you
tightening it up so much it's like you know that I'm going to try to hang off it absolutely oh yeah we could put a
bike on it okay so now you can without
like breaking your pore back is this a fancy bike or is this like this is like
a mid tier not that fancy okay so no carbon fiber but no no yeah aluminum
it's it's hard to find a really big bike I was say yeah slim pickings right you
are not building a computer again oh
yeah I want maybe like a bit lower okay
first of all my feet are dangling off the floor unless I point my toes that
chair's too short for Meo yeah okay and second of all my eyes are at about this
height um for proper ergonomics your eyes should be at about this point in
the top of the screen so uh I'll just adopt Adam sard's computer using
posture well he's going to have to throw it away then
doesn't fit Jordan says that I have to talk about the tech it holds lots of
stuff okay you can get our Precision screwdriver in there I keep some side
Cutters and a pair of pliers I also keep like a pile of our screwdrivers in here
and the reason that I do that is cuz they're all color coded for the different loadouts I have for them this
is my standard bit set this is my Imperial hex this is my metric hex and
then this one is my specialty so I got my tri wings uh got all that kind of
stuff in there LTT Store.com okay sorry what do you need I was sure how tight to
make the old oh just go until they don't go anymore it was
clicking yeah that's fine that's good it's a good click I think fans next yeah
let's do fans this is legit one of the hardest
upgrades of because this I know we were
meing it for the intro but also like acknowledging that it was going to be a
real problem look how far bent over he is the same posture you guys just watch
he's going to be a wizard with the power supply cables he's going to plug those things in so fast so flawlessly give me
that power supply let's go so that goes in the case now how are
you doing Jordan good we have a lovely rug for us here to go in oh we got a rug
beautiful where did the rug come from seems cheap Home Depot I think I don't
know Home Depot nice Jonathan y jonan
Jonathan yeah designer I can just see it
your mom's going to come in next time she's visit she's going to be like my goodness is that a Jonathan
AG let's go rean Jordan can you guys um
can you guys help Lucas out here yeah I don't even know where I want it you just
focus on mounting this power supply you let you let reys he's got an interior
design background he's got you covered uh no okay sure expert you can put
anything on your resume that's true I
did okay so did you guys find the the Lego stuff little
little guys right here cool how you doing over here wow good progress thank
you power suppli is in there look at that you even got one modular cable
plugged into it you're tall Luc I want
is it not I don't know you not like it I was entrusted with the power so I'm
using my power and you just have to trust Reese trust the process or don't
that's totally fine sure that's that's he didn't seem
very confident there that was a pretty pregnant pause there do you want to give
us some thought do you want it over there I don't know what do you guys think no
yes I told you what I think let's put it
there it sounds good Beauty good enough for me you can tell from his tone of
voice he's super happy with this decision yeah we should plug in some
power cables and stuff first let's see if you can figure out how to plug in the
power he doesn't have to work with me day to day so this is probably his
highest dose of me like ever I can't
even get this thing oh that's funny after all after all my uh ribbing you
you actually like can't plug in the power supply for testing it's all in a
really flat bored so it's really nice and easy holy don't look don't look
don't look we're not there yet Lucas you're looking they told you not to look
we specifically said they said not to watch don't look well you don't know
can't hurt you yeah the tweedles over there are really uh TW kind of hard to
look away from right now my mom always used to do that she'd refer to two of us
as Tweedle D and Tweedle Dum and she'd never specify which one of us was dumb
in that moment um it was usually mebody brightens the place up yeah what do you
think it's good it's nice looks level
thank you there was very little confidence in this is going to be one of the most
transformative Transformations I think because we really did start with a very
BL slate I got you this Ultimate Upgrade oh thank you wow I can put this
somewhere else down yeah I just don't understand how they're supposed to hold
this in like you see what I mean here right like what how am I supposed to
where the devil am I supposed to put this thing you know okay I'm just going
to find a couple spots where it kind of lines up and just go for
it seems to be the theme today what are you saying about the fine
work they did mounting that Lego art on the wall okay well I'm sorry this is the
best I can do you're just going to have a bundle of cables hanging here above
your fans there go the standards well yeah
well yeah you told me not to bother hooking up the RGB anyway didn't you
that's what I spent this whole time doing I totally for God I
just it's a reflex I just see cables I hook them up I don't think woo see but
now that you've got the RGB right no regrets right how could I ever turn
those off yeah exactly there she goes nice all right perfect well that's great
news you're going to get so many more FPS in rocket League M okay let's uh
let's continue where hey where do you want this uh that's just been living on
my desk that actually have I have had for a little while um probably going to
to stay there for now until I can build a frame of sort or oh something for it
okay how do you want to log in uh yeah I guess you'll need a keyboard oh you got
oh we got a new mouse and keyboard oh wow that is a really good thing these
are the these are from IB power those are the free ones from Samy's um PC
where that he bought Christmas party yeah they're awful yeah yeah okay there
you go well I mean you know they're just worth $10 or something well this is an
upgrade Kyron K2 H Wireless magnetic
switch keyboard kind of shows us kind of you know just winging it really well you
know I like the Apple chicklet keyboard so right so basically we ignore any of
your taste and keyboards anyway probably yeah
okay I mean that sounds a little better than the Apple keyboard didn't it I
think it sounds nice yeah I like the Apple keyboard doesn't make any sound at all
but okay what' you go with for Mouse uh Razer death UT V3 Pro all right I mean
realistically you play rocket League so like yeah well it could Branch out I'm
not sure wait you use a controller don't you for right yeah for good going say if
you're playing rocket league with keyboard and mouse you're do it wrong wow yeah no that does look good looks
clean do you not have a mouse pad no Lucas I got a table
what I don't even have one at work any either you but Lucas I grant you my on
camera permission to steal a mouse pad
work he's not going to do it even is he cuz he could have one at his workstation
for nothing but I think I have one in my closet there's one in the closet yeah
okay well let's go get the mouse pad no no we need the mouse pad wait you
totally have like one of the really nice designer Edition LTD mouse
pads great can't wait to use it okay there
see oh look how much nicer that is see
does that not feel better on the most not really no but
thanks not minimalist the
accident come on that can't be the reason we really are a fascinating group
of people what are you trying to say yeah I'm trying to say that I I get
it Lucas I see you that's what I'm trying to say I don't I don't know if
I'm minimalist or anything but you know I just like things clean and organized a
bit you know brother you didn't have a couch till your mother made you buy one
this would be a fun wow discussion topic who out of everyone who's gotten an
upgrade so far has had the most serial killer
Abode be really interested to see the audience debate it see Lucas would have
nowhere to stash a body right like nowhere to hide it so under the bed
maybe one of his CL yeah dude are you seeing this that is so cool I was just
sitting here and it was all like hey look I'm upside down that is
sick look at it
go so cool whoa no way okay what are we
looking at is this what is this this is just random patterns of noise like call
it pearlin noise it's a mathematical way to do got like cloud formations or stuff
like this okay but it's just very mesmerizing little cat it's a little
loud hey it can be loud yeah depends like where you put it and stuff it's if
you're just in like a quiet space like this it's kind of loud could you like
mount it behind like a double pain glass thing or something you could hide glass
or something yeah oh no way that is so cool I just
have a bunch of like demos basically all right you ready to show us your rocket
League skills that's pretty
cool okay well you're definitely better than me already you could remember the
controls without having to LIF them up so that's uh that's a step my son and
his friends do stuff in this game that I'm just like yeah I'm sure there are
like nine-year-olds that are like incredibly better than me it fat boy the
Riz God gotcha have you tried being more of a Riz God cuz then yeah you might
beat him okay casual like 400 FPS I can
see why you don't play on the PlayStation yeah yeah well also Ultra
wide the PlayStation can't even even do that I think Playstation still can't do
that not one I used to play like a year ago at
least really yeah I don't think so I don't think so how do they there's so
many Ultra wide displays these days though Ultra wide monitors no's the T TV
thing yeah you put on TV like a ple it's
ironic because so much movie content is ultra wide you think they would just
have Ultra wide TVs it's yeah hey TV
manufacturers wake up where's like Ultra wide TVs you guys are looking for some
excuse to charge a premium in the space
right bring out nobody wants a rolling TV bring whyde cinematic TV huh you're
welcome
what you you still watch go is the Apple
TV part of the upgrade or no uh I kind of already owned that but it wasn't set
up before wait yeah what did you even hook it up to you didn't have a TV
nothing it was in a box in a box so it was just Apple no
TV this will be my first time hearing the beam V2 I heard good things about
the original beam there's definitely frequencies that struggles with battle
you have given us hope man that TV looks good though got a surprising amount of
Rumble for uh not having a sub it's got a little bit Yeah I think you can buy
like additional like add-ons like Bluetooth right yep so yeah you can get
a sub and you can actually get surrounds as well which if you wanted a bit more
of a like immersive sound that would help but it seems like you don't
care you probably have to wall out him are we really going to keep this rug
like this I don't
know probably not yeah we'll see how see how it goes okay cool May I'll move the
coach
closer once we leave and stop criticizing
him but with that said I don't actually think there's too much to criticize I
thought this was a super practical upgrade laser focus PC upgrade adding
that 7800 X 3D getting like 400 frames
per second in rocket League where every Competitive Edge counts we've got a
really nice upgrade to your bike stand the bike is needs some work yeah
yeah CBD but dude you went from zero to
actually a pretty sick movie watching spot so you're going to start with Lord
of the Rings yeah yeah and then uh Breakfast Club yeah that sounds good I
was ranting about it at lunch no I don't want to watch it again overrated movie I
finally watched Breakfast Club last night it was an absolute piece of
garbage literally nothing happens nobody learns
anything oh no I'm going to get I'm going to get a talked on the internet um
if you enjoyed this video hey shout out AMD for sponsor ing the $5,000 AMD
ultimate Tech upgrade series if you guys are looking for another video to watch
why don't you go check out
Matthews I was going to throw to someone else from the lab team but you're the first one to win one
