welcome to rog reboot episode one our
first winner here is josh he had a very simple request
i mean especially in retrospect it seems like this is the kind of
thing that should be pretty doable
he wanted a white and blue
gaming computer and we got the gaming computer we got the rog gtx 1080 ti
we got the core i7 7700k we got water
cooling up the bananas but the case is black this is my peace
offering can you live with a balls to the wall
gaming computer that's not white
and that i dropped pieces of i think so
good let's get started then
the ASUS rog strix 1080 ti features
rsync RGB lighting with a plethora of colors and the ability to synchronize
effects across the ecosystem of rsync enabled products learn more at the link
below your video
pretty short pretty sweet had one of my friends help me write a script and then
grab my sister and said hey will you help me with this
that's a little awkward not like that
have you ever gamed on a machine of the caliber of what we're building today
never huh see i get so disconnected from this
stuff sometimes i just like kind of take it for granted so man have you ever
built a computer before no i should know that because the last
desktop you had was what 10 years ago yep you don't even have a desktop we did
at one point but i might have broken it
well that's a little awkward are you gonna break the one i build today no not
at all it's not even just a little bit broken nope let's try oh okay so you got
you had a desktop but we're talking it was like a
a pentium 4 or something is ancient yeah
okay got it yeah i feel old
we're off to a good start okay so how much of the building do you
want to do versus how much of the building do you want to be like like
when i would help my dad with carpentry um i'd like to do at least a good part
of it okay a good part of it all right i'll pick the best part okay so the best
part here hold the screwdriver and hand it to me when i'm ready for it so we're
gonna open up our power supply silver box right there
yes i know it's not it's not light or blue
that's okay like it's 80 plus titanium efficiency
which is like bananas bananas yeah
bananas are good they have lots of potassium yeah
we have these also not white and blue
cables from cable mud but they'll look really good don't worry
it's okay i don't really care at all that there's no white case i just think
it's funny that Linus uh takes it so
personally that there's no white case
i don't know if i can work under these conditions 10 points if you can find the
motherboard and the massive pile of awesome hardware that you're getting today
nice 10 points perfect you leveled up it's like the beginning
of a game where like you actually don't do anything you just like look in the
right direction and it's like 25 xp you're level two now yeah yeah it's it's
like that boom see if you installed you can pull that off okay there you go
hold on to that if you ever had to if
like let's say you legitimately had something devastating happen to your
board like critical functionality like the RGB wasn't working quite right if
you sent it back to them without that cover and the pins get damaged now
that's physical damage it's pricked
okay you want me to do that right now sure okay i mean you don't have to i
can't force you to do anything like you could just leave
i could but i won't so there you go
at first you didn't cut it but then you got it yes now you don't got it
that is true
um okay so that looks pretty good so far next stage is we actually move on to the
not white but still very good case
look i'm showing you how to build the computer i can see it in your eyes
you're super disappointed it's not white i'm just
getting really tired of how much pressure you're putting on me about the parts not being white i'm sorry i'll
stop no pressure but this is
the part where you either kill your motherboard or it's fine oh that's stressful no no it's not
stressful at all don't worry you know the one funny thing about this though to
me is that we didn't choose an rog board for the build
oh white and blue
you got this okay yeah it always does that it's kind of annoying
it's like they were determined to have the logo upside down on their water
cooler in this case all right well i'd recommend tubes up
because it doesn't run across the graphics card
so i usually recommend a pole orientation on a radiator you're
familiar with push-pull pulling yes
the reason for that is that when you have the fans pulling air this
way this is really easy to clean you just kind of go like this
you take some cat hair or whatever and you tuck it in the garbage
when you turn these around the air goes through this way well now
you have to take your fans off let's face it the last time you had a desktop
was 10 years ago this thing could be running for 10 years
we got to be ready for this stuff okay what matters more to you
your precious blue color scheme
or cable management i just need to go get something really
quick here completely definitely new h100iv2
that um definitely we didn't pull off the shelf
uh because our shipment didn't get here in time
which definitely has nothing to do with why your color scheme isn't right
definitely isn't missing some of the hardware so i'm definitely not going to go over
there and get it fantastic
cooling done and without any mishaps
whatsoever all right let's do a hard drive
oh sorry it's in that box i was just getting this one out of your way
she's like wait that was the motherboard
i knew that i showed him i knew that
yeah if it's not going in just force it a little you know
just give it the old force it so we put right there
what's he gonna do how's he gonna put it through nope
nope nope okay
i think the white goes better with the what's currently inside wow you can't
just pick a color without taking a shot at me for us not getting it right
you can't even do that
and it's time for the graphics card
so naturally i'm gonna let myself do the honors
come on be a man open it with your teeth
be a man open it with your teeth yes you ready
foam and and a cd
that's it that's what the highest performance graphics card on the market looks like
if you'd be gentle GeForce gtx 1080 ti strix overclocked so
i'm gonna get you to unbox your
oh nice cherry mx mechanical gaming keyboard
your mousepad your mouse your monitor
there you go
are you wearing your mouse pad yes excellent here we go
go ahead press the button oh that's a bad sign
no i'm just kidding i didn't turn the thing on your RGB is lighting up
so the most important thing about the system is already working which is great
so we are going straight for static color
blue wait what
you have got to be kidding me it's rog everything's red the
tablecloth's red you just be happy with red
there we go see
i told you this was a white and blue themed build
would i ever lie to you josh never what
do you plan to do with your new rank i want to run some games probably will buy
rocket league because i love that game i just play it at my friends houses all
the time right i also might want to do some video editing and get into that
more because i'll have something that can run something other than right a
potato okay so color scheme 5 out of 10
performance 11 out of 10. 11 out of 10. very good good answer
building my first gaming pc was pretty difficult
nah it really wasn't it was pretty simple all right well i'm glad and uh
