1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,600
oh i left my thing okay i'm live

2
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:15,759
welcome friends to something a little bit different it actually is kind of

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:21,199
surprising to me that it's taken this long for me to do this i will be doing

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,160
yes with my flippy knife and my flippy screwdriver i will be

5
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:30,160
doing a live pc build this is actually the machine that i worked with the

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,440
winner of lg's ultrawide festival hence the sweater that i actually just put on

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,640
randomly this morning and worked out as a happy accident that i'm wearing so

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,680
i'll be putting together the machine that i worked with the winner of ultrawide festival to

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,200
well pick out all the parts for and then well put together in theory he was

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,800
supposed to put it together himself but i picked out a bunch of stuff that

11
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:53,039
frankly i wasn't really 100 sure would even work so i was like you know what

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,680
bro why don't you have it sent to me i'll put it together for you and i'll

13
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:00,879
stream it which is pretty cool i think so check this out i have two cameras i

14
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:03,600
have two camera angles i have that i have the top down camera angle got my

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,960
like stab and screwdriver and then i got the uh more in the front

16
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,560
more traditional camera angle so without further ado

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:18,240
i guess we'll pretty much get started actually now one thing i'm going to do is i'm going to grab my laptop

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,200
so i can talk to you lovely twitch chat people today

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,680
most of you are lovely i've already seen star wars by the way our our bot is set

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,159
up to ban people for star wars spoilers so i really wouldn't tempt the gods

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,560
on on that one right there ah one two three four so i get to

22
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,520
interact with twitch chat the wretched hive of scum and villainy

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,720
that it is wow we have 1400 people watching me have

24
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,079
audio difficulties i guess that shouldn't really surprise me because it's the same as every week

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,680
all right so why don't we start with the usual thing where i walk through all the

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,040
different parts that i picked out and sort of why so for the case we went with

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:01,840
a fractal design define r5 we were gonna go with some totally like wonko tastic

28
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,280
in win thing for like nine hundred dollars because we were like yeah whatever we got a ten thousand dollar

29
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:09,599
budget uh instead we ended up rebalancing that

30
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,640
so he could afford like a more reasonable case and like a laptop so um

31
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,200
so yeah we went to define our five it's quiet it looks good it's

32
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,680
black it's fractal it's reasonably well built

33
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,280
uh in terms of motherboard things get a little bit of more of a long story this

34
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,640
is actually not the motherboard we intended to buy but it doesn't make that

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,760
much of a difference we were going to use the deluxe this is

36
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:37,599
the x99a i think it's missing

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:43,440
basically so we'll have to fight excuse me we'll have to find some kind of solution to that particular little

38
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:47,519
little whoopsie um for CPU this is pretty cool

39
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:52,400
now a normal youtuber probably would have

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:58,080
told our winner hey you could get yourself an extreme edition

41
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,519
but i'm Linus so i was like hey

42
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,120
let's get an e5 2690 v3

43
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:06,560
i don't even remember how many cores that has i'm going to have to look it up

44
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,959
right now in case you guys are wondering here's a really cool pro tip arc ark is Intel's

45
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,599
little site for finding out all the information you could want to know about

46
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:22,480
pretty much all of their cpus so the 2690 v3 is a

47
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,959
he stalls for time he hits specifications

48
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,239
so it's 12 core CPU that runs at a nominal frequency of around 2.6

49
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:40,480
gigahertz but can turbo boost up with pretty much the best of them so

50
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,959
that was why we went with that uh what else we got here there's some cool stuff

51
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,440
oh okay so RAM we went with the ecc RAM

52
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:54,239
we got uh 64 gigs so four 16 gig sticks

53
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:59,040
of ecc memory because quite frankly it's gotten to the point where memory is fast

54
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:04,400
enough and so is so our cpus so this is uh 2133 megahertz stuff some samsung

55
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:08,319
stuff that was on the qvl for the deluxe board

56
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:11,920
so i really hope it works otherwise i'm going to be stuck with some RAM that i

57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,760
don't need and the winner ryland is going to end up

58
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:20,560
with some of my RAM if it if it comes to that all right in terms of coolers here's

59
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:23,759
another little little mistake we were we asked for some knock 201 they sent us a

60
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:28,400
cooler master hyper 212 yield the reality of it is um these zeons in spite

61
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,759
of all their cores actually don't run very hot

62
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,759
it helps to have the heat distributed more so that cooler is going to do just

63
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,520
fine for us and you can't overclock the ons anyway so really really not too

64
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:42,600
worried about that in terms of power supply

65
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,600
we went with an rm1000i i had actually he picked this

66
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,120
out himself and i was like dude it's a thousand watt power supply you don't

67
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:54,960
need a thousand watt power supply and he was like yeah but it's a really good deal

68
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,840
and i was like you're right uh this was a really good

69
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,160
deal when we ordered it so i was like okay you can have your overkill power supply i guess that's fine

70
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,000
uh these are cool so a lot of people

71
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:13,039
uh including including rylan don't know this but you can actually buy just

72
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,320
generic RAM sticks that don't have heat spreaders on them because remember guys

73
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,560
the heat spreaders really don't do anything so you can just buy like whatever RAM

74
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,360
sticks you want and then you can actually get pretty cool looking here

75
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,039
i'm going to switch to my alternate angle here you can get pretty cool looking um like after like aftermarkety

76
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,000
looking heat spreaders that actually look pretty cool so we picked

77
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,039
up four of those although it should be noted that buying

78
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,479
those uh aftermarket is quite a bit more expensive

79
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,840
than buying them included with your RAM so you don't end up saving a ton of

80
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:52,160
money the only reason we ended up doing it was that we wanted to um

81
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:55,440
we wanted to get ecc memory none of which comes with like

82
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,199
cool gamery looking heat spreaders or anything like that

83
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:04,080
for storage we went with the usual so we've got our uh

84
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:06,240
we've got our one terabyte samsung 850 pro

85
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,120
and then we've got our solid-state storage backed up by two wd red six

86
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,440
terabyte drives he actually didn't specify how he wants those set up so i'm

87
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,639
going to put them in raid one because i suspect six terabytes is more than

88
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,800
enough for him we went with Linus tech tips edition

89
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,520
nff12 fans yes my friends i wasn't going to miss an opportunity to sell some of

90
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,160
my fans uh to my fans uh also we went with the

91
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,199
hugh plus which wish i hold this which way is

92
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,319
right side up for you i guess this one there we go with an nzxt hue plus in

93
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:43,280
order to throw some illumination inside and finally i guess that leads us to our

94
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:48,639
graphics card so rylan actually did what any sort of excited person who gets a

95
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:53,039
huge budget for building a computer does and put titan x's into the machine and i

96
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,919
went ryland ryland ryland

97
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:00,960
we can get you the same performance if not better

98
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,400
with a couple of these for a fraction of the cost and we can spend all that other

99
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,479
money on other really cool stuff so he ended up with like a camera notebook

100
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,039
um like two pairs of jaybird uh wireless

101
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:18,560
earphones like a bunch of a bunch of really cool stuff because we saved money

102
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:21,440
without compromising on performance so let's start the way we usually do i

103
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,680
am live streaming what can i do for you sir

104
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:31,400
the camera mic is on the camera mic is not on so there's that

105
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,960
why am i why am i being informed now and not like 15 minutes ago um

106
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:52,319
oh it's while i have the overhead cam up

107
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,000
i see hmm oh bloody hell

108
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,720
apparently this one has its microphone

109
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,720
on

110
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,199
well then hmm

111
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,000
i don't actually know how to turn that off

112
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,120
that's an idea

113
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:32,000
okay well hopefully that fixes it

114
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,440
yes friends hopefully that fixes it indeed

115
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:48,000
all right boom well let's see if that uh is fixed

116
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:50,640
apparently my flies my fly is half open

117
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:55,680
i shall demonstrate for you half see the bottom half is actually

118
00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:59,680
zipped yes friends only half

119
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,880
only half unzipped all right so let's start this build the way that we usually

120
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:08,480
do with the motherboard inside the motherboard box we will find

121
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,920
the accessories that we need like our i o plate our sli bridge

122
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,760
uh and three SATA cables

123
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,720
dang it it always messes with my ocd when i have

124
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:26,880
to use uh when i have to use one

125
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:32,720
right angle SATA cable and the others are straight

126
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,720
it's going to kill me all right

127
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:39,839
i'm going to go ahead and take off the anti-static bag

128
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:43,680
and i'm gonna put that back in the box and that'll be it for that motherboard

129
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,880
box we don't need any other of the action inside there

130
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,720
you know what's really funny is because i don't have to like painstakingly film

131
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,200
all of this this is probably going to this video

132
00:09:56,959 --> 00:10:05,279
probably isn't going to be much longer than my usual build guides always were

133
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:09,360
even though i don't actually get the benefit of video editing today i have to

134
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:14,880
actually do the whole thing live so CPU installation

135
00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:17,600
always double check even i double check

136
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,360
after all these times installing cpus make sure the golden corner aligns with

137
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,880
the other more different golden corner triangle thing boop

138
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,720
oh i always do that i close up the motherboard box before i remember to put

139
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,600
on the socket cover socket cover is important keep that in your motherboard

140
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:35,920
box because if you ever have to rma your motherboard they're gonna ask you to put that on before you send it back and if

141
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:39,519
you don't have it they may actually reject your rma and maybe for good

142
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:42,880
reason because you can oops

143
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,200
because you can damage the uh you can damage the motherboard socket pretty

144
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,720
easily without that cover on all right

145
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,880
next up is RAM and this will be more interesting than it usually is because i

146
00:10:52,399 --> 00:11:00,480
have never installed these akust

147
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,320
iron max RAM sinks before

148
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:07,120
yes friends i have actually no idea how to install them so

149
00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:10,959
okay it involves a screwdriver

150
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,519
dang it where's an ifixit kit when you need it oh there's one

151
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:24,000
okay so uh i did say i would pay attention to

152
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:28,560
twitch chat and then i proceeded to not not notice uh

153
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,640
any of the things that they said about my audio issues

154
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,399
oh the motherboard's not broken you guys need to all just calm your boobies down

155
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,079
a little bit it's all good in the hood

156
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:48,079
all right now one thing i'm a little uncertain

157
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,800
about is whether this RAM is actually going to work in this motherboard

158
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:57,680
so that's interesting so that's just a foam

159
00:11:54,959 --> 00:12:01,600
doodad this is one really tricky thing about

160
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:06,560
installing these aftermarket memory spreaders is

161
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:09,279
getting the memory module centered

162
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:12,639
because if you if you're off by too much then when they're all installed next to

163
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,240
each other they're gonna look really really weird

164
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:22,920
um okay so i'm gonna have to try and remember this i want stickers stickers

165
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,920
up

166
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:31,120
that looks about right how adhesive is this oh it's not that sticky okay

167
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:42,720
yep this is how boring it is when i do

168
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:48,240
this stuff unedited there's an awful lot of tedious like oh line the little thing

169
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,920
on the other little thing and then and then

170
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,920
screw it down

171
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:58,800
nice head shot oh sorry did i just have you guys staring at the back of my head

172
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:02,240
i didn't even get a haircut this weekend i actually meant to

173
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,079
i was trying to get my wife to do it for me but she wouldn't what did i do

174
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,399
upside down

175
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,800
that looks fine i don't know

176
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:34,160
all right so this my friends is what it's going to

177
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:37,279
look like installed in the motherboard you can see out here actually i'm going

178
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:42,320
to switch to the other angle so you can see even this like servery memory can

179
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:46,079
actually look pretty uh pretty gamertastic if you go and throw yourself

180
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,200
a little aftermarket heat spreader thing on there here's another another angle at

181
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,079
that i'm going to go ahead and throw this on the motherboard

182
00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:00,000
there you go looks about as like

183
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:03,680
gamery and performancy as pretty much anything so

184
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:06,480
all right let's uh sorry i'm having trouble remembering which ones are my

185
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,240
hot keys i'm gonna i'll i'll definitely talk to

186
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,839
twitch chat now i'll definitely show twitch i'll talk to

187
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:20,079
twitchchat now the green ruins it what green

188
00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:24,240
oh the green pcb you know okay the thing about the whole green pcb

189
00:14:22,959 --> 00:14:29,360
thing is like did you know that green pcbs are

190
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:36,399
legitimately cheaper for one thing i did not know that a black pcb does add cost

191
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:41,760
to the part and on servers that is a completely unnecessary cost because

192
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:45,760
literally no one on earth cares that their server has a black pcb

193
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:51,920
on the memory um where was i going with this i'm fairly

194
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:51,920
sure this was important

195
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,760
little known fact did you know something something green peace be you know

196
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,959
nothing okay RAM yeah it doesn't the green pcb really doesn't bother me that

197
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:06,480
much on RAM because once it's installed you really can't see

198
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:11,040
it very well so unless you're really getting in there

199
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:15,199
with like the macro lens with your slr and you're like determined to have your

200
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:19,199
build be like totally perfect for a million dollar pc or something

201
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:22,880
those kinds of little details don't matter as much to me as having a system

202
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,040
that's 100 stable so

203
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:31,760
ecc RAM is it necessary for most applications no

204
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:35,600
but does it eliminate yet another potential

205
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,240
source of of instability yes it does

206
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320
what else we got here

207
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:48,720
so that is why my macbook something

208
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:52,320
minus i'm basically building a server ah no i wouldn't call this a server there's

209
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,759
a lot of things that make a computer a personal computer or a

210
00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,279
server ecc memory is one of them that i would definitely

211
00:15:59,199 --> 00:16:05,360
consider to be on the on the server side of things

212
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:09,839
um because you can you can definitely have a desktop computer that is stable

213
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,759
enough with unbuffered dimms but in order for this to qualify as a

214
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:18,000
server it would have to be a lot of other stuff as well so for one thing we

215
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,959
wouldn't be running a consumer grade motherboard we'd be running some kind of

216
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:25,680
a server board ASUS has stuff available super micro is

217
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:28,959
very popular but yeah we'd be running a server board

218
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,639
and server boards aren't really suitable for desktop and workstation applications

219
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:37,120
for a number of reasons mostly because they

220
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:42,160
trade they trade off their their no-nonsense

221
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:43,600
stability for well nonsense and features

222
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:49,600
and stuff so they tend not to have a lot of the features that as consumers we

223
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,120
really want to see on our products so

224
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:56,160
you know if you expect to have you know Thunderbolt and uh you know a whack ton

225
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,920
of usb ports and all that stuff you're not

226
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:04,079
going to find that on a server board the other thing that a server typically has

227
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:08,480
that this machine doesn't is a lot of fail safes so we're just using a single

228
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,880
non-redundant power supply that means if the power supply fails

229
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:16,319
the system shuts down and and potentially even parts of it don't work

230
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:21,839
anymore i'm not saying i expect an rm1000i to

231
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:24,720
fail it's a very good power supply but

232
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:28,319
i'm saying that if it failed it would be very very bad on a server you would want

233
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:31,600
to be using a redundant power supply where there's actually two

234
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,520
separate completely independent power supply modules within a single unit and

235
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:40,559
if one of them fails outright stops working the whole thing continues to work in

236
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,880
fact one of our servers here actually has a triple redundant power supply i'm

237
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,840
just going to change up the angle just for the sake of i don't know just having

238
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,200
a bit of a different angle while i talk for a bit

239
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:55,120
um the bot is unforgiving yes the bot is

240
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:59,600
unforgiving for certain things where we've had a lot of problems in the past

241
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,799
i love our bot actually it's great it

242
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,720
makes life a lot easier for us it's fantastic

243
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,160
um what is this build for got some people asking questions that i answered

244
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:15,280
at the beginning of the stream way to not tune in immediately

245
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:19,919
loser no i'm just kidding you're not a loser i know twitch is the loser because

246
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:24,640
they only send notifications sort of approximately when they feel like it um

247
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:31,520
this is for the winner of the ultra wide festival

248
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:34,559
ultimate dream setup machine thing so um

249
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,200
yeah this is this is his this is his rig

250
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:40,640
i'm putting together the with the does this have 64 gigs of RAM yeah i guess it

251
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:45,200
does that is freaking sick

252
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:48,559
freaking sick yo all right

253
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:53,520
boom so there you have it i'll give you guys a better look at that

254
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,200
that is what it looks like

255
00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:01,919
with all those uh memory sticks there installed

256
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:08,080
not bad huh for ecc dimms

257
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:08,080
yes friends all right

258
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:15,919
what else we got here what do i do next usually right CPU cooler so hyper 212

259
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,919
evo

260
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:23,039
uh where's my knife there it is

261
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:29,120
let's see which chat we're like 64 gigs for a gaming rig yeah well remember too

262
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,200
um it was kind of a creator-oriented

263
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:36,000
uh contest so uh i'm very certain that especially with

264
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,520
the camera that he picked up he actually had to borrow a camera in

265
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:44,240
order to participate in the contest but he now with his new dream setup has his

266
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:48,480
own so with the camera that he picked up i'm pretty sure he intends to do some

267
00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:52,799
content creation on this rig as well so in that case that uh that extra RAM

268
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,799
will actually be helpful okay i need to go get a garbage can this is driving me

269
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,799
crazy

270
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,320
okay

271
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:18,400
there we are funny story i have actually

272
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,520
never mounted a hyper 212 evo

273
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:24,240
but i'm going to try and do it without the instructions

274
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:29,679
okay so that appears to be a hold down plate of some sort

275
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,000
that appears to be a fan of some sort

276
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:36,080
that appears to be oh my goodness what is that

277
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:41,039
it's okay don't worry i got this i got this you guys

278
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,039
what the heck

279
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:47,679
yeah sure okay i still remember when like heat pipe

280
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:51,760
direct touch looks like a big deal i think zigmatech

281
00:20:49,679 --> 00:20:55,600
started that nonsense sorry i'm just i'm thinking because i'm

282
00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:01,679
thinking out loud because this cooler has the heat pipes

283
00:20:57,679 --> 00:21:04,559
directly contacting the CPU

284
00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:08,240
yes my friends i do i vaguely remember back when

285
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,200
back when CPU coolers were changing really fast you know back when thermal

286
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,799
write was releasing stuff like the xp90c and we were all like

287
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:21,280
whoa man it's like a full copper heat sink man

288
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,760
what the heck is this

289
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:33,440
okay yep yep okay there's a thing that holds it in

290
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:37,120
the place to something something

291
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:40,679
can i help whoever's here with something

292
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,679
what the heck

293
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:53,840
that is weird okay well let's not stress about that

294
00:21:51,679 --> 00:21:58,159
let's put the uh wow that's really nice the way they

295
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,400
put all the hardware and a little uh clam shell for you here

296
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:08,720
i like that that is a nice touch cooler master

297
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,720
and give credit where credit is due

298
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,440
okay now

299
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:26,320
there is less credit due here unless i'm not supposed to use that back plate at

300
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:29,440
all which may actually be the case it's possible i'm just supposed to put these

301
00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:34,400
puppies in yep looks like that's how it's done

302
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:38,159
2011 mounting is always a bit of a always a bit of a challenge but not

303
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:43,600
always uh some companies do it really well Noctua does it really well uh be

304
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:46,080
quiet does it particularly poorly

305
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,799
where just some guys it's like a total afterthought it basically doesn't work

306
00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:56,159
at all and you're just kind of like well what the heck because our our thermal testing

307
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,080
platform is an lga 2011 test bench and

308
00:22:56,159 --> 00:23:02,480
so be quiet! every time they sent us a cooler back when we really did heatsink

309
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:06,240
reviews they'd be like whoa why are you guys begging on us for our 2013 mount

310
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:10,799
he'd be like well because it's trash it's terrible they're

311
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:16,559
like yeah but most people don't use it i'm like that's nice we do

312
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:18,559
so the people who re with a different

313
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:22,799
platform they'll like it and we won't

314
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:26,480
wait a minute dang it okay i'm resorting to the

315
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:31,600
instructions because i don't know which of the

316
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:35,840
correctly threaded doodads i'm supposed to put in

317
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,750
so gets the taller one

318
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:41,890
and

319
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,200
bloody hell

320
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:53,039
um yep

321
00:23:50,640 --> 00:24:00,400
2011 gets the skinnier ones knew that was gonna happen

322
00:23:55,919 --> 00:24:00,400
again the benefits of video editing

323
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:08,000
when you screw something up oh just completely get it wrong you can just

324
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:12,000
undo that part and not show it except sometimes when we do anyway because we

325
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,919
screw up sometimes even in the video editing part of things

326
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,520
what's twitch chat one

327
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,520
hope he sees the amount of thermal paste you're supposed to put on according to

328
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:29,600
the graphic i will i promise to check that out i promise to check that out and

329
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:35,919
then if it's any more than like a little bit i will completely ignore it

330
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:35,919
just for you guys

331
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,559
that was actually my favorite moment in austin's uh borinator

332
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:49,360
bornator build log thing that he and i worked on together where he gives it to

333
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,320
me the expert to put the thermal paste on and i'm just like

334
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,880
very fun you guys should check out that uh check out that

335
00:24:55,360 --> 00:25:02,000
that build log thing if you haven't already austin evans channel

336
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:06,000
i actually am shipping the pc out to the winner today

337
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:10,799
as we speak i am doing actually Colton is doing it but uh that's basically the

338
00:25:07,919 --> 00:25:14,799
same as me doing it all right thermal compound i promised to

339
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:18,400
look at the instructions for this so where are we where we got where's that

340
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:25,360
oh nice there you go guys that's how much

341
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:29,919
thermal paste to put on just like that don't worry about it just go go ham go

342
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,200
ham no big deal no friends we're gonna put on we'll put

343
00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:38,640
on a little bit more than usual because this is a larger CPU and it does have a

344
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,760
lot of CPU cores in there a lot of people get really wrapped up in

345
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:46,640
the in the how much thermal compound

346
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,919
ah dang it well how much is pretty important but a lot of people get really

347
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,159
wrapped up in the how to apply thermal compound argument when the truth of the

348
00:25:51,919 --> 00:25:57,120
matter is that it's within a degree or two

349
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,080
pretty much however you put it on it's it's really not that big of a deal

350
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:07,039
um so unless you're unless you're going for like

351
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:10,720
sub-zero elite hacksaw overclock zors or

352
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:12,799
or whatever and even if you are that

353
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,520
degree is really very unlikely to make that big of a

354
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,360
difference using the right type of thermal compound

355
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,400
is actually quite a bit more important like if you are going subzero for

356
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:26,080
example you want to use a thermal compound that

357
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:31,600
that had that handle sub-zero temperature some of them really don't work very well at very low temperatures

358
00:26:29,679 --> 00:26:36,080
for example um ceramic is apparently the the go-to

359
00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:39,440
for those for that crowd or at least it was a long time ago i'm pretty i'm

360
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,520
pretty out of the loop as far as the whole extreme overclocking thing goes

361
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:43,520
these days

362
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,400
all right let's get this puppy

363
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:54,559
mounted now maybe you guys can tell me

364
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:58,640
cooler master or cooler master

365
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:01,760
these are important details i think we're going to go this way

366
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:07,360
there's another thing people get really stressed out about that really just doesn't matter that much is

367
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:11,279
lifting up and and reseeding the heatsink once the once the goop is

368
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,000
already on there it really isn't that big of a deal i've

369
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:18,960
actually taken just old test benches

370
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:22,320
popped off the cooler worked on it put it back on

371
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:26,400
really doesn't matter um i did that as just like a test for

372
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:31,039
myself i didn't end up making a video about it but i did do that at one point

373
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:35,440
where i took like a really old thermal compound

374
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,039
application and

375
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:42,640
like took it off and put it back on and took it off and put it back on several

376
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:49,840
times and then i did a brand new fresh application to see if that would make a

377
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,840
difference and it did not

378
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:58,000
it was within the margin of error which is like realistically a couple of

379
00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:58,000
degrees actually

380
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:07,200
okay look at that awesome

381
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,159
now i think i was actually supposed to use the taller one but it doesn't really

382
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:17,640
matter as long as i don't completely overdo it with the pressure uh this is fine i'm not gonna i'm not

383
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,640
gonna overdo this

384
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:24,640
um turkey cola hmm

385
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:28,080
what's up with the video stutter i don't know

386
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,679
i have no idea here maybe i should switch angles maybe

387
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:36,080
that'll help i don't actually expect that to help i'm just

388
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,080
being unhelpful

389
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,720
i'm kind of glad we went lga 2011 on this uh on this system

390
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,559
with all the things i've been hearing about skylake and CPU's bending and

391
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,960
shipping this is a system that i intend to ship to the winner so you know what

392
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:55,520
that's really not that tight actually i'm gonna go all the way then

393
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:59,840
i think that's where the stopper is yeah yeah it's not too bad

394
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,840
all right

395
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:16,399
all right this is one thing i also like to check is just have a look at if you want to

396
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:20,480
evaluate your mounting pressure if your board is bowing like crazy then that's

397
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,360
that's probably not really what you were going for this one seems to be

398
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,760
completely fine

399
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:32,960
speaking of being completely fine it's really lucky that we ended up with um

400
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:37,840
with a cooler that was going to work for us here given that they

401
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:41,039
didn't ship the one that we had wanted

402
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,880
because lga 2011 you know you can mount

403
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:45,679
pretty much any cooler on it almost everyone has compatibility with

404
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:50,240
it but many coolers out there don't work

405
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,840
optimally with it if you want to install a whole bunch of memory sticks because

406
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,559
you've got memory slots on both sides of the CPU

407
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,559
so it happens that the hyper 212

408
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:08,840
this i think this is what the evo yeah hyper 212 evo is one of the ones that

409
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,840
does work just fine

410
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,480
if you install a bunch of RAM

411
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,080
all right so put that accessory back in the box

412
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:26,480
okay so we're done with our CPU cooler i was sure i was doing something else

413
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:31,039
right now right Linus tech tips edition fan friends

414
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,320
i can read you guys the little letter that's inside them

415
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:39,760
if you didn't order one you won't have seen this letter yet dear fan

416
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:43,799
you not the thing in the box the Linus tech tips team won't make any outrageous

417
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:48,159
claims about how we co-engineered this special edition nff12

418
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:52,000
pwm which is probably a good thing because as our regular viewers know we

419
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,840
are not exactly mechanical engineers that's why we left the product development entirely to Noctua knowing

420
00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:02,240
it would deliver the same outstanding performance quality and reliability that we've come to expect from their brown

421
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:04,399
and tan fans over the last decade so

422
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:09,919
what did we do something we've wanted to do since we

423
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:12,559
first laid eyes on the nf s12 we picked

424
00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:17,120
the color scheme it's the same great nff 12 pwm fan but now in Linus tech tips

425
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,679
black and orange thanks for being a part of this i sincerely hope you love this fan as much as i love all of mine you're

426
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,120
sincerely lioness sebastian alliance media group ceo

427
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:32,000
so i'm going to have to uh do some cajiggering here in order to get

428
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:34,480
this puppy mounted

429
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:38,399
so you can see the the stock fan here is has got these little noise isolator tabs

430
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:42,159
on it so i'm going to pop those off and i'm going to try and reuse them after

431
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:45,720
there we go take out these screws

432
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:59,200
oh what do you mean the fan is going to be dead

433
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:03,760
telegenic boss it is not going to be dead it's going to be awesome

434
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:08,240
actually i was talking to one of the one of the resellers for them and they said

435
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:12,480
they got something like 2 out of 1000 back or something like that

436
00:32:09,919 --> 00:32:17,919
so that is uh that is to be considered a fairly good uh fairly good defective

437
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:20,080
rate in fact i don't even think that um

438
00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:23,039
that the fan was actually dead i think it was just someone changed their mind

439
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:28,880
so yeah take that

440
00:32:25,679 --> 00:32:30,399
fans gonna be dead

441
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,320
yeah right i mean to be clear nothing is perfect

442
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:38,080
but we just i mean we wanted to pick something that we thought we were going

443
00:32:35,919 --> 00:32:43,640
to have a pretty darn good chance of having work so

444
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,640
so we went with nff12s

445
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:51,200
i mean to be clear i know that you don't need an ff12 fan in order to get like

446
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:55,120
really good performance out of a fan it's just you know best of the best and all that

447
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,840
and it's not because i think that you have to spend 30 on a fan either it's

448
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:03,360
just for me if i'm gonna put my name on something i

449
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:06,640
want it to just i want to be sure that it's really really good i don't want i

450
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,720
don't want that stress of people being like well i bought the Linus tech tips

451
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:14,640
edition one thinking it was the best and now i don't trust Linus anymore because

452
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,919
my fan died and like you know how people are like some people don't really get

453
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:22,880
that any product can have

454
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:26,080
a defect um shoot

455
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:31,120
don't worry this is no big deal just got to pull this sticker RAM out and put

456
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,120
this on and then get back to it

457
00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:38,919
can i help you Colton caltane

458
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:49,720
his gamer handle he's really creative that Colton he

459
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,720
managed to change two whole vowels

460
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,240
follow me on twitch yeah right

461
00:33:56,559 --> 00:34:04,080
i refuse to follow you on twitch all right let's have a look at this

462
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:09,119
so that friends is what it's looking like now

463
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:13,679
not too shabby right for like all

464
00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:13,679
servery stuff and all that

465
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:22,240
all right okay what's next i guess

466
00:34:18,839 --> 00:34:23,679
i'll put uh oh well i forgot those

467
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:28,159
rubber tabs so i guess those are going back in the hyper 212 box rylan if you're watching this i'm sorry i forgot

468
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:32,079
your rubber tabs they're not going back on there now because

469
00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:35,359
i'm live streaming and people got places to go and people to see

470
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,599
they don't want to see me put on that tab again

471
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:45,760
sorry buddy your system's basically a failure

472
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,760
it's a failure waiting to happen

473
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:51,679
but at least it comes with this cool Linus tech tips case badge

474
00:34:55,839 --> 00:34:59,000
all right

475
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,160
what does uh twitch chat want

476
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,599
worth it to upgrade from 3570k to 6600k

477
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:26,880
casualgamer you know i don't know it really depends are you

478
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:31,440
running into CPU bottlenecks in your games you'll notice because

479
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:34,880
your frame rates will be lower than other people who have the same graphics

480
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,760
card as you are reporting although something to bear in mind is that the

481
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:44,640
internet is full of people who are getting 500 frames per second in every

482
00:35:39,839 --> 00:35:46,240
game with an 8400 gs so

483
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:51,119
yeah there's there's there's three pieces there's three pieces of the calculation

484
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,960
and a lot of people conveniently leave out a very important

485
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:58,800
one there's your frames per second there's your graphics card

486
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:04,640
and then there's the detail settings that you are running the game at

487
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,960
that is very very very important so

488
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:13,599
people be like yeah i got like this wicked hd 5450 it runs shadow of ward

489
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:17,599
door at like 80 FPS i'll be like okay a

490
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,920
no it doesn't you're a liar and

491
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:26,160
b what resolution and settings are you running yeah man i'm running 1080p man

492
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:29,119
i'm like okay did you have to do like some

493
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:33,520
some like eye and eye edits in order to get the details turned

494
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:40,400
down low enough like i didn't know they had negative anti-aliasing

495
00:36:37,359 --> 00:36:42,160
uh like like just plain aliasing it's

496
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,480
like i'm just gonna add aliasing to my game

497
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:51,040
um so yeah the problem is that you can't really rely on the reports of people

498
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,720
online although some review sites

499
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:57,520
will show you what benchmarking run they use and they will give you numbers that are

500
00:36:55,839 --> 00:37:00,880
actually reputable and then what you can do is you can you

501
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:05,040
can just see you can go like kind of oh how am i how am i performing compared to

502
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:08,640
that and if it's not very good then your CPU is probably what's holding you back

503
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:14,240
but the question to ask yourself too is does it matter

504
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,680
um do you need 90 FPS if you have 80 FPS

505
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:22,599
i can tell you right now unless you have a monitor that runs at

506
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,599
90 hertz the answer is probably no

507
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:37,839
um

508
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:47,000
okay so

509
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,000
that isn't what was supposed to happen

510
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,320
huh

511
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:02,240
wow how did how did this happen

512
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:08,400
i don't know i mean technically this will work fine

513
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:12,560
it's really not what i would have preferred

514
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:16,320
um let me think

515
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,680
let me think hey um luke can i interrupt you for a minute

516
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:24,400
did we ship evga back all those cards yet yeah

517
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,400
we did yeah oh

518
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:33,839
do we have an evga 980 ti with an acx

519
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,839
2.0 cooler

520
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:41,520
so we managed to order a reference card and

521
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:44,160
an acx card oh oh

522
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:49,520
what you know what i might just have to put

523
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,760
it together and send it to rylan to figure out if he

524
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,800
can do an exchange for something like that because

525
00:38:55,119 --> 00:39:01,200
i have to get this i'm sure he'd rather be using the system than have me muck

526
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:07,200
around with trying to get a card swapped out but that is that is that is definitely

527
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:11,520
not what the objective was today to have two different cards um i can use this

528
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:15,839
though as an opportunity to talk about sli compatibility and how it works

529
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:28,480
like ah yeah sli compatibility and how it works

530
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:33,440
basically as on the NVIDIA side as long as you have two of the same GPU with the

531
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:36,640
same amount of RAM they didn't used to require the same RAM amount in theory

532
00:39:35,839 --> 00:39:40,800
although very few people ever got it to work with

533
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:45,599
very few driver uh versions and very few like uh you

534
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:50,880
know cool bits tweaks or whatever else so as long as you have the same GPU so

535
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:54,880
that's like gtx 980 not a 980 and a 980

536
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:58,320
ti not a 980 and a 980 se

537
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,520
two 980 ti's or two 980s or two 970s the

538
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,440
same thing no matter what brand they are you've got

539
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:06,960
you know your evga or Gigabyte or whatever else no matter what clock speed

540
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:12,560
they run at no matter what coolers they are no matter what pcb design so you can

541
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,000
even have like a an evga kingpin card

542
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:18,240
and like a you know reference card from Gigabyte or

543
00:40:17,359 --> 00:40:22,839
something they will run an sli

544
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:28,720
at the speed at the lower speed of the two so it's not a compatibility issue

545
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:34,800
it's just an aesthetic issue um

546
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,800
all right so this is the nzxt hue

547
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,640
inside we will find a controller box

548
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,640
i've actually never used this one before i recommended it to ryland um having

549
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:48,920
heard good things about it but i've never i've never actually used

550
00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:00,560
now it's broken this is what he gets for letting me

551
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,560
build this computer

552
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:09,760
i got to figure out how to get the stupid led strip so the hue is has got like a

553
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:12,720
front bay controller mixer thing that lets you mix your red green and blue led

554
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:19,280
strips and then it's got a whole bunch of led strips inside that you can like connect

555
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:23,359
together with these little connector doodadlies and then you've got the

556
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:26,720
controller box that lets you plug in a couple of things to it it's

557
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:32,400
got like usb control and all that kind of cool stuff so basically just a more more elegant

558
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:36,720
way of handling this stuff than just you know back in the day we

559
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:40,560
had to use inverters which by the way were all garbage every single one of

560
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:44,480
them was trash so we had to use these inverters

561
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:49,280
and then we had to use cathode tubes all of which failed uh

562
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:55,760
eventually even if their inverters didn't i actually on a number of occasions had inverters so those are dc

563
00:41:53,040 --> 00:42:00,480
to ac electricity conversion things i had them melt inside my case and like

564
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:05,040
almost start fires those were awful i'm so glad that led lighting is a thing for

565
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:08,640
computers now all right so we're going to put all

566
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:12,640
those parts kind of over here i guess and get to them later got our hard

567
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:17,040
drives wd reds a lot of people think wd red is

568
00:42:15,359 --> 00:42:21,200
only for nas let me ask you this

569
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,520
what is a computer with a bunch of hard drives in it

570
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:28,480
if not a nas yes

571
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:31,920
network attached storage if your computer is on the network and it has

572
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,800
storage and you're sharing it

573
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,599
it's a nas

574
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,359
what are you gentlemen up to anyway

575
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,400
oh lens things

576
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,800
oh cool

577
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,680
they're better why is the door closed though

578
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:02,880
okay so you'd rather get cancer than be cold

579
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,880
because that's what i'm hearing

580
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:09,040
oh you turned the heater off yeah we had the heater on in here this morning

581
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:14,160
and we've never actually turned it on before so it basically smelled like cancer in

582
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:17,680
the studio all day like it it was some pretty

583
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:24,839
yeah it was some pretty it was some pretty bad news

584
00:43:24,839 --> 00:43:30,400
stuff which is weird because i'm used to turning on a heater for the first time

585
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:34,480
and having it be kind of like a burning smell but uh yeah

586
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:42,079
yeah but that wasn't burning that was like that was like burning your lungs

587
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:52,720
okay so i'm gonna do one of those things that i always try but never works

588
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:56,960
but i always try anyway because i'm like that

589
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,319
i'm going to take everything out of the power supply box

590
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,520
that i believe i will need down to every modular cable i intend to

591
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:09,520
use and see if i can actually get it right

592
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:12,800
like i said it never works i know this

593
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,800
but i'm still going to try

594
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:21,800
ah look at that only one seal to break in here boom

595
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:30,319
okay so we will need a power cord we will need some cable ties we will not

596
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:33,359
need silica gel modular cables

597
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:40,960
we will need this four plus six pin pci express

598
00:44:38,319 --> 00:44:44,960
we will need this one too we will need

599
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:49,200
this CPU power connector we will need oh how is the hue powered

600
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:54,560
dc 5 volt okay it must have an adapter yes it does

601
00:44:53,680 --> 00:45:01,359
okay so we will need whatever the

602
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:03,359
lowest number of connector molex adapter

603
00:45:01,359 --> 00:45:06,480
harness that we have is it looks like this one this one has

604
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,920
three some power supply makers ship one with

605
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:13,760
two but i guess we'll have to live with three okay we will need our 24 pin

606
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:22,160
and we will need

607
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,520
four SATA cables

608
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,000
hopefully that's good

609
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:33,359
we will also need the power supply i love these little baggies the Corsair

610
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,920
packs their power supplies in i'm not convinced they're actually

611
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:40,960
expensive but they feel really premium little velvet

612
00:45:38,079 --> 00:45:40,960
baggy doodads

613
00:45:41,359 --> 00:45:48,720
okay this is the foam by the way that my cat ate or like not this foam exactly

614
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:53,200
obviously i'm i just got this power supply and he ate foam months ago but

615
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:57,359
this type of foam this this really soft closed cell black foam that you find in

616
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,960
Corsair power supply boxes that's not actually where he got it it's just

617
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:04,640
really similar to the stuff that he ate all right

618
00:46:02,319 --> 00:46:09,359
so there's our rm1000i here's all our accessories that we need

619
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:12,960
and now it is finally enough stalling actually time to crack

620
00:46:11,359 --> 00:46:16,079
open the case and start building the machine

621
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:23,400
i might have to just do this off camera i'm sorry guys it's kind of heavy and

622
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,400
awkward to deal with up there

623
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:37,359
oh i did that thing i always do

624
00:46:35,599 --> 00:46:43,800
pro tip oh never mind it worked anyway okay forget

625
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,800
it ow static

626
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:04,560
all right yeah baby

627
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:08,560
there it is how many people are watching this wow 4

628
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:13,280
600 people watching the live computer building

629
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:15,280
i should start like performing

630
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:19,630
do like deadline a circus he is building

631
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:24,319
computers

632
00:47:24,319 --> 00:47:27,520
i don't know if anyone would watch that

633
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,680
although some people internally have been pitching the idea of us doing like

634
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:37,200
some kind of a live show at some point like i don't know

635
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:40,640
what that would look like but uh it seems like it'd be a pretty cool idea

636
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:47,119
like kind of just even i don't know q a or something

637
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:51,079
i don't know all right side panel off

638
00:47:52,079 --> 00:47:55,359
what shall we start with

639
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:05,040
okay just checking had kind of a kind of

640
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:08,880
a panic moment there i was like does this board support sli

641
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:12,800
it does which is good because we're running sli

642
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:24,800
okay what slots this one

643
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:28,000
and this one so we leave one gap and do

644
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,000
another two there we go

645
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:36,400
so they'll either have to send rylan the other board to swap out or

646
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:42,079
throw in a wi-fi card or something like that it's really not that big of a deal in terms of build quality i don't think

647
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,760
the x99a and the x99 deluxe are really

648
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:47,520
that different and in terms of features aside from the wi-fi i actually couldn't

649
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:51,440
really find anything that mattered like i suspect there's some like weirdo

650
00:48:49,359 --> 00:48:55,119
features that that are there or not there but

651
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:59,839
nothing really important this is cool Corsair has to put this

652
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:03,359
warning on their power supplies okay guys

653
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:07,280
it's all right if the fan in your power supply is not spinning

654
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:12,240
it is literally supposed to do that that is literally a feature

655
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:17,440
it's good i love that feature why spin the fans if you don't have to

656
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:23,280
there's no such thing as a silent fan except a fan that is off

657
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,280
can i help you brandon

658
00:49:23,839 --> 00:49:30,240
you're looking for something are you looking for love brandon

659
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:35,520
because love is right here it's right here brandon

660
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:35,520
it's right here inside of you

661
00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:41,920
and me at the same time it's a it's a very uh

662
00:49:42,319 --> 00:49:47,920
it's a very liberal sort of love it's an all over the place love

663
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,079
what cable do you need

664
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:04,559
oh yeah i won't be able to help you with that it's not in my bin by the way

665
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:11,119
okay usually i'm a pretty good person to turn

666
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,119
to when you need help finding a cable

667
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:16,559
yeah not as good as me didn't i own you the other day

668
00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:29,520
brendan and i are keeping score kind of like uh

669
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:30,640
like legolas and the other guy give me

670
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:35,359
in the middle earth movies that don't suck

671
00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:39,200
um who can find

672
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:42,720
who can find things in like 30 seconds that other people can't find and then

673
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:46,720
between us we're finding out who can do it most often and

674
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:51,680
most consistently because i swear no one else in this

675
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,839
entire company could find anything

676
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:56,880
to save their lives it's like i can't find a

677
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:59,839
multimeter like did you try that drawer where we

678
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,319
keep the multimeters brilliant

679
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:11,359
all right so the power supply is in if you're into

680
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:14,400
that sort of thing um

681
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,920
i had some people asking me to take the drive cage out i actually can't think of

682
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,480
a reason why not we can take it out even if it's just to

683
00:51:19,359 --> 00:51:23,839
get it out of our way that's one of the cool features of this case

684
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,440
boom more ventilation for the gpus just like

685
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:32,079
that my friends and because we only have three drives

686
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:35,280
um we can just mount everything in this

687
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:40,720
lower cage and we're in pretty good shape there

688
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:42,559
okay so i think especially with

689
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:45,839
a little bit more open air and all that kind of stuff i

690
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,520
think we're gonna get away with not opening up the top mod event so i think

691
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:55,760
i'm just gonna go ahead and boom put the uh put the motherboard right oh

692
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:57,680
i am getting spoiled i'm getting used to

693
00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:01,920
uh motherboard standoffs being pre-installed

694
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:06,559
and this particular one is not um hold on i gotta grab my motherboard

695
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:10,800
standoff screwdriver yes i do actually own a screwdriver

696
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:15,599
specifically for that just tech

697
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,599
things

698
00:52:17,359 --> 00:52:24,720
here check it out oh i'm on the wrong camera angle oh i'm on the wrong camera angle there we go

699
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:29,359
so this is my little socketed uh socketed screwdriver just for installing

700
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:29,359
motherboard standoffs

701
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,800
they actually come with uh actually used

702
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:38,079
to come with a lot of cases so i've got a handful of them

703
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:42,559
but now everyone's cheaping out like fractal includes this horrendous

704
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:46,559
like stupid plastic adapter thing that you can put

705
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:51,680
around the stand off and then you can drive in with a phillips head screwdriver but really

706
00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:57,760
guys plastic oh man i think liam lee was the one that used

707
00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:57,760
to include these ones

708
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:06,720
cooler master uses a metal one oh i got people reminding me about the i

709
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:10,800
o shield i would have figured it out i would have

710
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:16,720
i definitely would have figured out that the i o shield is not in there don't

711
00:53:12,839 --> 00:53:18,480
worry i don't remember the last time i

712
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:21,920
failed to install an io shield when i had one a lot of people are probably

713
00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:25,680
going to bring up the i o shield that was missing in the build with my son but

714
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:29,839
the only reason that was missing was because luke had that i o shield in his

715
00:53:27,839 --> 00:53:33,680
garage that is why i didn't install an io

716
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:37,920
shield and i have since followed that up with him and it has been retrieved so

717
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:41,359
next time i build a system with that motherboard which i actually intend to

718
00:53:39,839 --> 00:53:46,160
do fairly soon i'm going to be doing like a really cool ltd edition build

719
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:51,200
so next time i do that i will be i'll be using the i o shield

720
00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:02,559
okay why power supply fan side up uh there's

721
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:06,079
a reason for that if i was building this for myself

722
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:09,200
i would probably go power supply fan down

723
00:54:07,839 --> 00:54:15,599
and the reason for that is that it keeps the power supply heat isolated from the rest of the system however because this

724
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:19,599
is not for me the thing about fractal cases this one

725
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:24,480
in particular is that they have very short feet so if this case were to be

726
00:54:22,079 --> 00:54:29,280
installed on a relatively plush carpet it would actually come up leaving only

727
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:32,640
like a fraction of a centimeter of space between this bottom

728
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:36,400
fan filter guy here and the actual intake on the

729
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:41,359
bottom of the case so installing the power supply fan side up

730
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:48,240
is sort of the um less optimal but safer way if you don't

731
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:50,559
know how the system is going to be used look at

732
00:54:50,839 --> 00:54:56,480
that so that's why i did that

733
00:54:54,079 --> 00:55:01,599
like plush carpet well yeah carpet that's more plush plush is a word

734
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:04,640
i don't mean just like shag carpet like the feet on this case really aren't very

735
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:08,960
tall so really any carpet could be a potential

736
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:13,440
airflow issue and i've actually killed power supplies that way just putting the

737
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:17,040
system on a carpet forgetting that it was one that had the fan on the bottom

738
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:20,800
of the power supply like not opening it up to check because why would i think of

739
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:23,280
that and i have actually killed systems like that so

740
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,960
yep these little lessons that you learn

741
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:33,800
people are telling me the fan is upside down

742
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,880
well okay i don't know all right let's get our motherboard

743
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:45,280
installed here one thing that i really like about this case is it has this cool little nub in the middle so that your

744
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,079
motherboard doesn't shift around while you're trying to install it

745
00:55:53,200 --> 00:56:00,079
why would you put a computer on carpet i don't know because you have carpet on

746
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:03,839
your floor and you have a small desk

747
00:56:00,079 --> 00:56:03,839
it's not an atrocity it's fine

748
00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:10,960
remember when your computer's plugged in like the thing's grounded like it

749
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:13,440
actually has a ground prong

750
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:17,760
i mean in most places i actually uh had to

751
00:56:16,319 --> 00:56:21,599
um i had to rip the ground prong off of one

752
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:25,920
of my laptop charger cables when i was over in asia because we were in some

753
00:56:24,079 --> 00:56:28,839
country i forget which one it was and almost none of the outlets there had a

754
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:34,319
ground prong i was like okay so it's 120 volt

755
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:39,119
there's the two prongs like like at home but then there's no ground prong

756
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:42,559
feel like crooked CPU cooler or whatever look it's adjustable

757
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:48,880
man you guys are you guys are killing me here

758
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,880
you guys are killing me here

759
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:57,200
all right wow this is actually kind of a nice

760
00:56:54,960 --> 00:57:00,880
looking build i'm liking this white and black and just a touch of orange color

761
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:05,040
scheme thing that we've got going on here let's do some power supply cables

762
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,040
shall we

763
00:57:08,079 --> 00:57:16,720
i got people asking me to mount the SSD behind the motherboard i actually could do that i don't think it's realistically

764
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:18,640
going to matter much because

765
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:23,920
that leaves us with only one extra expansion slot

766
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:27,760
in the case and without having to add the extra cage

767
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:31,440
but it's not a bad point i can probably do that i know fractal did one case i

768
00:57:30,079 --> 00:57:36,000
can't remember which one it was like define r3 or something like that where

769
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:39,119
you actually couldn't install an SSD on the back of the motherboard tray

770
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,520
without taking the motherboard out

771
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:49,920
so i never recommended in that case

772
00:57:48,079 --> 00:57:53,520
installing the SSD on the back because then if you ever had to get your SSD off

773
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:59,200
you would have to take the motherboard out as well but this one i don't believe that is the

774
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:06,559
case so it should be fine 24 pin etx peripheral blah blah blah

775
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:10,559
blah blah blah six plus two pin PCIe

776
00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:12,160
six plus two pin PCIe

777
00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:15,920
yeah i really don't know if we're gonna keep doing

778
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:20,319
build guides in the same way that we've been doing them before anymore like this

779
00:58:18,319 --> 00:58:24,319
kind of stuff feels so routine for me now while i recognize that

780
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:28,799
you know some of our viewers are are new to us and

781
00:58:25,839 --> 00:58:33,839
haven't seen this stuff before i just you know i hate i hate making content

782
00:58:31,119 --> 00:58:38,000
that's boring for me and so mixing it up a little bit every time is i think what

783
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:40,880
keeps it fresh not just for you guys but for me and so like doing this live

784
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:44,480
stream thing was kind of like oh that's a novel idea yeah sure let's do it let's

785
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:48,000
do it live but we've had a lot of people request more

786
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:52,720
of our traditional style build guides which i personally think are great i think they're the best

787
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:56,000
pc build guides on the internet um

788
00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:01,280
but i just i just don't know if we're gonna really continue to do them the way

789
00:58:57,839 --> 00:59:02,640
that we the way that we used to

790
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:06,640
um blah blah blah are the new skylake i5s

791
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:12,559
overclockable motherboards you said would allow it on lan show i don't know

792
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:16,079
are they um i know that i had heard although i haven't personally tested it

793
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:22,000
yet i had heard that uh non-k skylake cpus are now

794
00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:27,200
overclockable but um

795
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:29,440
yeah i haven't verified it yet i think

796
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:34,240
asrock and MSI are the only ones that have actually implemented the the patch

797
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:38,480
at this point and i don't have a ton of assrock or MSI on hand so

798
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:42,880
it's hard for me to verify something like that all right

799
00:59:39,839 --> 00:59:46,200
let's turn this puppy around

800
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,200
there we go

801
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:52,400
i'm actually going to take off the back panel so i can start doing some cable management

802
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:59,440
that is the mark of an inexperienced builder doing cable management at the

803
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:05,359
end you always do cable management as you go otherwise it makes your life a lot more

804
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,359
difficult

805
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:13,040
ah these new power supplies with their newfangled i shouldn't even say new

806
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:18,480
actually some companies have been doing this for a very long time their newfangled uh

807
01:00:16,319 --> 01:00:24,480
capacitors all over the 24 pin connector makes them quite a bit

808
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:28,720
bulkier to deal with but the folks at Corsair and i think i can't

809
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:34,000
remember who the first one to do this was was it pc power and cooling or something

810
01:00:32,079 --> 01:00:37,040
i can't remember who did it first but apparently it helps with ripple

811
01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:43,839
suppression or something or something which i'm sure matters to some extreme overclockers

812
01:00:40,319 --> 01:00:43,839
somewhere in scandinavia

813
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:48,880
i don't know i'm at the point now where really a high it's not like it was in

814
01:00:47,599 --> 01:00:54,559
the old days where like there were good power supplies and then

815
01:00:52,079 --> 01:00:57,839
there were power supplies where basically you plugged them in and hoped

816
01:00:56,319 --> 01:01:02,240
for the best like most anything from a fairly reputable

817
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:06,319
brand is is fairly good these days

818
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:09,839
um not really that worrying

819
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:13,440
where is the eight pin connector on this motherboard

820
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:18,559
oh it's kind of in the middle okay i'm gonna go through this other cable management hole here

821
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:24,319
so i tend not to stress about it too much for me it's more like features

822
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,680
um you know does it have modular cables

823
01:01:24,319 --> 01:01:30,240
um yeah because unless you're really pushing the

824
01:01:28,799 --> 01:01:33,760
limits which if you're honest with yourself you're not

825
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:38,880
because unless you're using liquid nitrogen to overclock you're really not pushing the limits

826
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:41,359
then it really doesn't make that much of a difference as long as you go with

827
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:45,119
something that's fairly decent like i'm not telling everyone to run out and buy

828
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:49,839
the cheapest power supply that they can find on newegg.com that is still

829
01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:53,280
probably going to explode and kill things spectacularly at some point in

830
01:01:51,359 --> 01:01:57,839
the future i just mean that whole thing where everyone was

831
01:01:55,040 --> 01:02:03,359
buying you know hx1000 you know 1000 watt top of the line power supplies

832
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:07,200
um i really don't think is that important

833
01:02:04,839 --> 01:02:10,480
anymore okay eight pin connector done i'm sorry i'm

834
01:02:08,799 --> 01:02:14,240
just going to adjust the positioning of this so you guys can see

835
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:17,920
a little bit better this is my favorite way to deal with

836
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:21,359
these fans these days oh shoot i think i plugged into the

837
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:25,440
wrong CPU fan header boop

838
01:02:22,799 --> 01:02:25,440
no big deal

839
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:35,839
all right where is my screwdriver in my back

840
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,839
pocket where it always is

841
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:45,040
i'm just going to coil this baby up um actually that's very slow never mind

842
01:02:41,839 --> 01:02:46,960
i'm going to do it my less favorite way

843
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:50,000
so this is one of my other tricks though you take the fan

844
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:54,319
connector you run it around the outside of the fan itself and then if you can

845
01:02:52,799 --> 01:02:58,559
you find a fan header that it just barely reaches and

846
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:03,359
then it usually won't go anywhere if it does go somewhere then you just run a

847
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:06,480
twist tie or a zip tie i usually like to use twist ties if i can because they're

848
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:10,319
a lot easier to take off if you screw something up but you run a twist tie

849
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:15,200
through one of the mounting holes on the fan you grab onto that cable and then boom

850
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:18,240
doesn't go anywhere and it looks really really clean without

851
01:03:17,039 --> 01:03:22,880
actually doing like our custom length

852
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:26,079
fan cable or anything like that like all the kids are into these days

853
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:30,400
i'm actually very i'm getting to the point where i'm

854
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:34,400
getting very old school and the way i build computers another reason why i

855
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:38,000
feel like i should leave the guides to the people who are really more into it

856
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:43,119
these days the guys that are like yeah custom

857
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:45,920
length cables for this and hard pipe

858
01:03:43,119 --> 01:03:50,480
cooling for that and i'm just like that sounds like a lot of work

859
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,960
you know because i'm old all right

860
01:03:54,079 --> 01:04:00,559
um you know what i'm gonna finish my wire runs you know what i'm actually

861
01:03:59,039 --> 01:04:07,119
not going to mount the SSD behind the motherboard tray because that way i can win

862
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:12,240
i can uh i can have taken out the right

863
01:04:09,599 --> 01:04:17,280
modular cables from the power supply box so i'm cheating a little bit but yes i'm

864
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:17,280
going to do that

865
01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:25,119
uh yeah i am actually planning to up this upload this video to the to the

866
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:29,440
channel i'm planning to not edit it and just upload the whole thing and kind of see

867
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:34,559
how it goes we don't do that kind of stuff very often where we do like experimental

868
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:37,440
formats on the uh on the channel so i just thought yeah

869
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:40,880
what the hey let's uh let's give it a shot it's not going to be the the full

870
01:04:39,039 --> 01:04:46,319
release for tonight like it's going to be this and something else

871
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:49,440
but yeah yeah we are we are going to do that

872
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:54,319
so you guys will be able to see the whole thing if you missed any parts of it i mean not to mention that we are

873
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:59,520
streaming it on twitch so there is the uh there is the vod for that

874
01:04:58,079 --> 01:05:03,359
speaking of streaming on twitch we've got a really really cool video coming on

875
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:09,440
vessel tonight it's um i create like like a diy

876
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:13,920
news reporter like mobile streaming backpack thing and

877
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:17,440
we go out and test it out it's actually pretty freaking cool

878
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:20,240
so you guys can check that out if you're into that sort of thing

879
01:05:21,359 --> 01:05:26,720
most of what we do these days is kind of like that where it may not actually have

880
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:30,880
a ton of practical application but uh

881
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:37,039
it's mostly just like hey here's a really cool idea we had and

882
01:05:33,839 --> 01:05:39,280
here goes

883
01:05:37,039 --> 01:05:42,720
all right three four is that a six g i don't know whatever

884
01:05:41,599 --> 01:05:47,359
let's do i don't know that one okay

885
01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:50,240
let's run these puppies through here this is one of the things i really like

886
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:54,400
about this case is that the motherboard tray is actually stamped in so the

887
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:57,119
motherboard sits a little bit further back

888
01:05:55,440 --> 01:06:01,440
than the cable management holes for your SATA cables right next to it that means

889
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:05,039
that when they run in there's really no no strain or tension on them

890
01:06:03,359 --> 01:06:09,680
it's just a nice nice little touch it does take away some of the cable management room that you would otherwise

891
01:06:07,599 --> 01:06:13,440
have behind the motherboard tray but i think it's a worthwhile trade-off

892
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:23,839
all right let's run our pci express connectors

893
01:06:21,039 --> 01:06:23,839
what's up brandon

894
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:34,160
oh i can't believe it's almost six i am so thirsty right now

895
01:06:34,799 --> 01:06:42,480
i don't think it helps that i sucked back that milkshake right before i started this oh i still have some

896
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:47,599
i'm totally having more milkshake oh it's completely liquid

897
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:52,240
okay no wendy's chocolate frosty that is

898
01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:57,680
completely melted is a really really bad idea

899
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,680
i will regret that for sure

900
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:02,799
more than i already regret it i feel fat just drinking it

901
01:07:06,319 --> 01:07:14,799
to be clear i don't mean i feel fat like like covered in rolls of fat i just mean

902
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:16,640
i feel like if i ate junk like that all

903
01:07:14,799 --> 01:07:20,319
the time i would get fat very very quickly

904
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:24,480
okay that's the thing you get older your metabolism just kind of runs away from

905
01:07:23,359 --> 01:07:29,359
you like it used to be i never had to worry about any of that stuff and i mean i'm

906
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:33,599
sure i'm not the only one telling this sad story but

907
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:39,200
really like it it used to be fine no matter what i did

908
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:43,920
and now it's just like i eat one wrong thing and i'm like wow i just ate one

909
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:48,480
pound of junk food and i just gained one pound

910
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,480
it's amazing how that math works

911
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:56,440
it shouldn't surprise me i know this but that doesn't change the fact that it

912
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,440
does

913
01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:06,240
okay this 24 pin cable management is going to be a little bit tricky actually

914
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:12,799
there's really not a lot of space behind the motherboard tray on this case

915
01:08:10,079 --> 01:08:17,039
there's really not a lot of space behind the motherboard tray on this case

916
01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:27,600
okay front usb 2

917
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:30,480
front usb 2 what you gonna do

918
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,560
watch out i gotta take a poop

919
01:08:42,159 --> 01:08:48,480
but don't worry you don't have to watch i won't make you

920
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:56,159
what do you think brandon should i quit my day job and become a rapper

921
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:56,159
you'll be my producer

922
01:08:57,279 --> 01:09:00,960
what do you know about audio producing

923
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,839
god i hate you brandon

924
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:15,759
you crush all my dreams that's what rap taught me

925
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:21,000
that's what rap taught me chase your dreams

926
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:28,520
if incredibly talented people like jay-z can do it then surely i can

927
01:09:39,839 --> 01:09:44,799
yeah see people are finally witnessing the kind of crap that i take around here

928
01:09:43,199 --> 01:09:50,400
everyone hears what i dish out because i'm the like the on-camera personality

929
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:56,400
most of the time but the cold hard truth is i i take at least as much as i give

930
01:09:53,679 --> 01:09:56,400
out around here

931
01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:03,600
that's weird um

932
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:08,960
okay brandon the battery died

933
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:13,600
can i have a new can i have a new battery please

934
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:17,199
ah the uh the top one the other one's running off ac

935
01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:20,800
maybe if you didn't break all our ac adapters we wouldn't have this problem

936
01:10:23,679 --> 01:10:31,400
well it's taking longer than i said you should have known that was going to

937
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,400
happen mr producer

938
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:38,239
mr smart guy who claims to know anything about

939
01:10:35,679 --> 01:10:38,239
producing

940
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:46,159
i would never hire someone so unproductive to be a producer

941
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:51,040
wow it's funny because brandon actually had

942
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:56,159
like a crazy productive day today he got with some help he got all of our our

943
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:02,400
lights mounted in our ceiling lighting grid thing uh it actually looks freaking

944
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,400
ba so

945
01:11:04,719 --> 01:11:09,679
i can get out of the way if you'd like

946
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:12,880
sure i'll go let me go around the front i can actually cable manage this fan and

947
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,360
then there you go

948
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:24,159
yeah this video is more like a it's like closer to a behind the scenes than it is

949
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:28,000
to an actual release video

950
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:31,440
it's kind of cool i'm liking the vibe actually i'm liking the uh

951
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:36,640
discussion with the twitch chat i can't believe there's 4 500 people watching

952
01:11:34,719 --> 01:11:40,400
on like an off time we've actually tried streaming not at our our scheduled time

953
01:11:38,719 --> 01:11:44,880
before and let me tell you guys it has not gone very well like we don't tend to get

954
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:49,920
a ton of viewers when it's not our normal same bat time same channel nonsense

955
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:55,199
thank you brandon

956
01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:58,560
you are a valuable and appreciated member of

957
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:03,840
this team yes have you seen penguin madagascar no okay

958
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:09,840
i can't remember what the exact quote is but it's something along those lines that's what they tell the mentally

959
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,840
handicapped one wow

960
01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:20,640
i don't actually know if that's the politically correct term for

961
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:25,719
private i'm usually not that up on my

962
01:12:22,159 --> 01:12:25,719
politically correctness

963
01:12:36,719 --> 01:12:42,400
power led does this case have a reset switch i

964
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:46,560
think i might be missing one of my front connectors you know a lot of people use

965
01:12:44,239 --> 01:12:49,840
those little things that um that ASUS includes

966
01:12:48,239 --> 01:12:54,640
those little blocks that let you plug in all these front panel connectors and then plug the whole thing in one go i

967
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:58,719
never recommend it the reason is that it's um

968
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:02,560
it can interfere with long expansion cards sometimes you're much better off

969
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:06,800
to just do it right the first time install it correctly john john here is a

970
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:10,400
big fan of them but both luke and i are like no

971
01:13:08,239 --> 01:13:13,360
you should not use those but he doesn't listen he just uses them

972
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:19,440
anyway because everyone just forgets their own path okay let's test this other camera angle again

973
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:21,840
yeah we're back baby okay

974
01:13:23,679 --> 01:13:29,199
we're actually getting surprisingly close

975
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:31,600
drives drives that's the home stretch right brandon drives are the home

976
01:13:30,480 --> 01:13:35,760
stretch always the home stretch

977
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:39,440
let me tell you guys we have done some we have done some build logs brandon and

978
01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:43,760
i yes we have

979
01:13:41,679 --> 01:13:48,080
drives are the home stretch gpus are like

980
01:13:45,679 --> 01:13:51,440
you can you can smell it you can smell it it's almost over

981
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:56,159
and then the conclusion is just the conclusion it gets harder again because

982
01:13:53,440 --> 01:14:00,640
you're just like oh this just it's just a few more bases until it's

983
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:05,600
over guys we have been at the office filming

984
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:09,679
to like we hours of the morning doing those build guides

985
01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:15,120
i'm sorry 5am for your video i didn't even know

986
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:18,080
that for the a7s2 do you even want to do more camera

987
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:23,679

01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:54,320
like kind of scrapyard wars on like camera camera stuff

994
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:57,280
so i i can't give i can't really give any more detail than that without sort

995
01:14:55,760 --> 01:15:00,480
of giving away what he's doing but it's going to be it's going to be pretty freaking cool if you're into camera

996
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:04,480
stuff and even if you're not come on watch it

997
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,960
it's brandon he's nice we like him for some reason

998
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:14,400
killing your china balls which is less racist than it sounds by

999
01:15:13,199 --> 01:15:19,199
the way it's much less racist can you show them

1000
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:19,199
your china balls

1001
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:28,480
thank you see it's on the other ankle

1002
01:15:26,239 --> 01:15:32,400
uh no no it's it's i i that one is real time yeah that one's don't worry it's

1003
01:15:30,159 --> 01:15:32,400
all good

1004
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:44,880
no seriously china balls are a thing this is not this is not sexual

1005
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,880
harassment and it is not racism

1006
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:52,360
jeez i can't catch a break here

1007
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:59,840
no i think they know that if i was if i was going to be racist i would just be

1008
01:15:57,199 --> 01:16:03,040
upfront about it besides i really don't think too many

1009
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:07,239
people are going to accuse me of being racist against chinese people

1010
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:17,440
nope i just dislike them all individually

1011
01:16:18,159 --> 01:16:24,480
just kidding for those of you who don't know my wife is chinese just throwing

1012
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,480
that out there

1013
01:16:25,199 --> 01:16:28,880
i am not a racist person

1014
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,480
ah this is cool though check this

1015
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:39,920
out so fractal actually has a really smart hard drive sled design you can

1016
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:43,040
mount the rubber things more towards the front or more towards the back depending

1017
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:46,159
on whether you want like a nicer aesthetic or you want more cable

1018
01:16:44,719 --> 01:16:50,000
management room behind them i always go with more cable management room because i personally don't find that that

1019
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:54,400
affects the aesthetic you can't really see it through the window and i also

1020
01:16:55,600 --> 01:17:02,320
there we go and i also really find that defining various cases need all the

1021
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:05,440
cable management they can get oops i actually did that wrong

1022
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:11,440
i was so busy explaining the cool and clever thing i was doing that i did it

1023
01:17:10,239 --> 01:17:15,600
wrong story of my freaking life

1024
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:19,679
like our storage server

1025
01:17:17,679 --> 01:17:22,400
so busy showing you guys how to do it that i rush

1026
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:26,719
that's what happened basically i was just in a hurry it's not that i don't

1027
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:30,000
know the right way to do it i was just in a hurry

1028
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:33,199
and i've got a lot of video projects that are relying on

1029
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:36,560
making videos about those drives and all this stuff and so i was like okay i'm

1030
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:44,920
going to take a shortcut and the shortcut was bad the shortcut led down

1031
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:44,920
disaster junction can i help you

1032
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:56,400
okay please don't drop that

1033
01:17:53,199 --> 01:17:58,080
on yourself or anyone else

1034
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:00,880
he's holding this ginormous ladder i swear when brandon first joined the

1035
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:08,239
company we couldn't we couldn't trust it oh dang it i did it wrong this time

1036
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:11,199
son of a um like we couldn't trust him to tie his

1037
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:15,760
shoes in the morning the guy was tripping all over everything

1038
01:18:14,719 --> 01:18:21,280
like oh man it was it was terrible but he's

1039
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:25,199
been he's been with us so long in our messy environment because brendan's kind

1040
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:28,800
of a neat freak you'd never know it um like looking at his workspace here but

1041
01:18:27,440 --> 01:18:33,120
like i've been to his house he's actually a pretty like tidy person but

1042
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:37,120
it's just that especially at the old office there

1043
01:18:34,719 --> 01:18:42,400
really wasn't much that could be done to be tidy so everyone just kind of gave in

1044
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:46,400
to the mess the analogy that i like to use is kind

1045
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:50,000
of like those puzzles where there's one empty square and you have to

1046
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:53,520
rearrange all the other squares to make a full picture the problem is that at

1047
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,800
the old office there was no empty square there was no way to rearrange anything

1048
01:18:55,760 --> 01:19:00,239
so so brandon had to learn like the rest of us

1049
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:06,480
to just catch himself when he tripped because the tripping was inevitable

1050
01:19:04,159 --> 01:19:11,440
and now he's like a pro like it's crazy i think he's better than me from having

1051
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:13,040
to navigate all of the uh like all of my

1052
01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:17,280
stuff all of luke's stuff because he had to set up cameras and lights in every

1053
01:19:15,199 --> 01:19:21,950
area of the office so he's like the master of uh the master

1054
01:19:20,159 --> 01:19:23,679
of not tripping anymore

1055
01:19:23,679 --> 01:19:29,920
but man brandon you were scary in the early days

1056
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:34,320
i always thought you were gonna die or destroy all my expensive stuff

1057
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:37,800
or do both of them at the same time the ultimate insult

1058
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:44,159
okay so we've got all our front panel connectors done we've got all our drives

1059
01:19:42,719 --> 01:19:49,040
plugged in um hey why don't we plug in some video

1060
01:19:46,480 --> 01:19:54,480
cards so oh man this is this is like this is killing me inside

1061
01:19:52,239 --> 01:19:58,480
well hopefully rylan can get that sorted out i'm going to have to leave it to him

1062
01:19:56,239 --> 01:20:01,199
unfortunately i mean it doesn't matter what they exchange it for as long as

1063
01:20:00,159 --> 01:20:07,040
they as long as it's like two of the same either of these configurations is fine

1064
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:13,760
i don't know who screwed up i don't know if it was the retailer or if it was um

1065
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:18,640
like lg's procurement the thing is like the cards are called the same thing

1066
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:19,760
they're both called evga superclocked

1067
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:23,360
it's just one of them has a reference cooler and one of them has an acx cooler

1068
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:29,040
so i'm going to put the acx on the bottom i'm going to let the power supply deal with some of the heat from that and

1069
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:33,120
exhaust it i know that exhausting your GPU heat through your

1070
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:37,040
power supply is not really in the in the book of

1071
01:20:34,159 --> 01:20:40,480
best practices for a wicked awesome wicked awesome computer machine build

1072
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:45,120
thing but uh yeah

1073
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:50,239
it does work um especially if you've got a really

1074
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:52,640
high quality power supply it's probably fine

1075
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:59,199
sorry i just i want to tuck these things away so that i can do my uh

1076
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:01,840
do my graphics card screws here there we go

1077
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:15,840
got people asking me to do a test boot

1078
01:21:11,679 --> 01:21:15,840
ah yeah if i was smart i'd do that

1079
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:23,920
i'm going for gold today my friends i'm actually i have only about 60 confidence

1080
01:21:22,159 --> 01:21:28,560
that this is gonna boot because i haven't uh i haven't checked this

1081
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:32,080
motherboard with um i haven't checked the

1082
01:21:30,159 --> 01:21:35,840
compatibility matrix for xeons or for this RAM

1083
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:41,529
we were going to use something else so i don't know i don't know we shall see

1084
01:21:41,679 --> 01:21:48,400
i might just get luke to lend me a monitor very temporarily

1085
01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:51,199
and then we'll we'll test it after see if it works if it doesn't work then

1086
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:55,040
basically it's pretty simple i'm just going to grab a board off our shelf here

1087
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:59,600
and then i'll figure out with lg how to get the right board and they can replace

1088
01:21:57,199 --> 01:21:59,600
it for me

1089
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:05,600
because i do have at least something that'll work here in the studio for sure

1090
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:13,040
and i really want it i really want rylan to get his machine because he's been waiting very patiently for it so

1091
01:22:10,639 --> 01:22:16,560
okay ah

1092
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:20,480
these six plus two connectors i do appreciate them i like

1093
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:25,520
them it was really annoying before everyone started putting these on video

1094
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:27,760
cards but man it's hard to get the two

1095
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:32,719
lined up sometimes especially when you're trying to

1096
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:36,639
bend the cable into something so i saw force force awakens which is

1097
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:41,760
cool don't worry brandon i'm not gonna say anything for their sake as well as for

1098
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:48,000
yours um oh oh oh crap i got a message from a

1099
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:51,520
twitch mod uh can i move you too creative uh sure

1100
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:54,719
thanks bro i i wasn't really sure what i was

1101
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:59,440
supposed to do with this so i just kind of i just did that Linus thing where i'm

1102
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:01,920
just like ah someone else will let me know if i'm

1103
01:23:00,719 --> 01:23:04,800
doing it wrong and sure enough

1104
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:10,719
they did they told me i was doing it wrong they asked if they could kind of

1105
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:14,639
fix what i'm doing because i'm doing it wrong i was like okay sure man that's

1106
01:23:13,199 --> 01:23:18,639
cool all right

1107
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:23,040
so the last thing to set up here is the nzxt

1108
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:27,760
you oh i just crushed a box sorry rylan

1109
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:33,520
oh boy i have no idea how this works

1110
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:38,239
there's a lot of cables though so first is power i know we need that

1111
01:23:36,719 --> 01:23:43,360
okay so here's a molex connector

1112
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:46,159
to my little just

1113
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:49,280
dc plug i really wonder why they don't just have

1114
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:52,960
a native molex plug on this thing that's really weird

1115
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:56,880
probably they're repurposing something else that was intended for like another

1116
01:23:54,800 --> 01:24:02,719
industry and then they're just nzxt'ing computering it up so

1117
01:23:59,679 --> 01:24:06,080
that would probably be why

1118
01:24:02,719 --> 01:24:09,440
yeah yeah pretty much hey

1119
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,440
until it gets mainstream enough

1120
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:14,440
usb

1121
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:22,480
okay oh i think i found a place to stash it

1122
01:24:20,159 --> 01:24:26,560
under this hard drive um wow it's gonna be really hard to fit

1123
01:24:24,239 --> 01:24:33,920
it down there though get in there oh yes very nice he's nice

1124
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:35,440
i like it okay so i'm gonna stash the

1125
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:38,719
hue right under the front hard drive i'm sorry you guys can't really see what i'm doing

1126
01:24:39,679 --> 01:24:42,239
um

1127
01:24:43,199 --> 01:24:52,400
everyone's like luke use the force star wars star wars mania is uh

1128
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:54,560
is is strong with this one

1129
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:59,600

01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:09,600
some of these strips are magnetic oh i love it are they all magnetic this

1132
01:25:07,199 --> 01:25:15,360
one doesn't seem very magnetic they're all magnetic sick

1133
01:25:12,719 --> 01:25:18,480
you're magnetic i think so

1134
01:25:16,639 --> 01:25:22,239
personal magnetism that's the only context i can think of

1135
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:28,960
for it i'm leaving don't forget to do the thing

1136
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,960

if i get the thing done before work tomorrow

1142
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:52,480
then um that'll be

1143
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:55,600
good yeah people are like loop change shirts

1144
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:59,760
do you guys really think we wear our Linus tech tip shirts all the time like

1145
01:25:57,440 --> 01:26:03,280
for realsies okay i do but other people aren't required to

1146
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:09,040
i even offered them to them for free very few people have actually taken me

1147
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:15,679
up on them apparently apparently they don't want to rep

1148
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:15,679
LTT on their own time i see how it is

1149
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:22,320
i know you don't have any LTT shirts brandon

1150
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:27,760
do you have one which one do you have oh nice yeah did you buy that oh how come

1151
01:26:24,719 --> 01:26:27,760
you how come you have one of those

1152
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,639
oh okay

1153
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,679
nice

1154
01:26:34,719 --> 01:26:41,120
it's funny because we have kind of a g-rated channel so like

1155
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:45,679
i'm never quite sure if i'm supposed to even say what it says on the front of

1156
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:51,480
that shirt but it's our shirt so surely we decided at some point that we could

1157
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:51,480
say on this show

1158
01:26:54,239 --> 01:27:00,000
yeah cats well that's that in the context of the shirt it's very clear

1159
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,000
that it's a cat

1160
01:27:00,719 --> 01:27:06,800
oh dang it i gotta plug in a usb header here

1161
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:10,880
it'd be cool if i had a third camera angle that's like um

1162
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:13,040
like a headlight headlamp view kind of thing

1163
01:27:14,719 --> 01:27:20,320
okay so i'm going to show you guys actually i'm going to do the backs of these drives first

1164
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:28,159
so this is how i deal with my ocd i use my my right angle one on the the SSD so

1165
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:33,440
that at least the two hard drives are using both straight connectors and the SSD has the

1166
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:38,639
right angle connector or something i justify it to myself that they're not

1167
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,639
all the same like that

1168
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:44,800
this is something that drives me crazy about other power supplies actually this

1169
01:27:43,679 --> 01:27:51,360
one doesn't do it i was ready to complain about this power supply and then it ended up doing it right is they

1170
01:27:48,639 --> 01:27:55,040
mostly have the um the SATA cables set up

1171
01:27:53,440 --> 01:27:58,639
so that you would have to run them top down in order to have them all plug in

1172
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:02,080
easily so they're all like left angle instead

1173
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:06,080
of right angle whereas most power supplies are in the basement of the

1174
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:10,800
cases these days so having them come up this way actually makes more sense so

1175
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:14,960
here we're going one two three and we're good just like that

1176
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:19,600
then let's plug in our two SATA cables for those hard drives

1177
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:23,600
so funny i so rarely put hard drives on the builds that we do for the show

1178
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:27,280
that feels kind of weird plugging these in right now although i've been doing it more lately

1179
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:31,920
now that we've been doing all that naz stuff with uh with unraid

1180
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:35,679
showing how you can actually use your gaming tower as a nas that one's coming

1181
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:39,679
to youtube fairly soon all right so that's done

1182
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:46,400
oh dang it i dropped all the stuff

1183
01:28:43,440 --> 01:28:46,400
switch angles here

1184
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,400
uh did i switch angles yes i did

1185
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:59,120
okay so we got to figure out how we want to

1186
01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:03,199
do all of our lighting effects so this baby

1187
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:06,560
can go up here and plug into

1188
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:10,040
one of these little extension you do that finish this

1189
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:16,960
and we're back i think

1190
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:25,840
okay brandon repeat after me i step where you step

1191
01:29:22,639 --> 01:29:25,840
i touch nothing

1192
01:29:26,480 --> 01:29:31,360
what i did

1193
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:36,159
well all we know was brandon was moving a ladder over near the streaming do you

1194
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:41,199
see anything uh-huh and then the machine shut down

1195
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:46,000
spectacularly shut down like zero warning

1196
01:29:43,440 --> 01:29:48,239
completely locked up shut down so

1197
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:58,719
it's okay though i forgive you

1198
01:29:54,239 --> 01:29:58,719
um oh crap how does this work

1199
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:08,800
yeah that's probably it okay i might actually have to check the

1200
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:13,600
manual for this uh for this fractal fractal or this nzxt hue do dad

1201
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:19,760
plus five volts something something grounding etc okay i'm gonna have to

1202
01:30:18,480 --> 01:30:24,480
check the manual you'd think i would have been checking the manual this whole time that i was

1203
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:29,600
off camera but actually i was fixing the damn stream computer

1204
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:32,800
yeah i'm getting a lot of hashtag fire brandon

1205
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:36,639
so they've turned on you brandon it's official

1206
01:30:34,639 --> 01:30:40,159
that's how into you they were they like you as long as you're talking about

1207
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:45,440
camera things but as soon as you break the stream

1208
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,440
they turn on you

1209
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:52,400
death by ladder yeah i don't even need to fire him he's probably going to die

1210
01:30:53,520 --> 01:31:00,480
oh it actually doesn't seem to say does it

1211
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:04,000
okay plug a thing in there plug another thing in there yeah yeah yeah

1212
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,400
huh okay

1213
01:31:10,639 --> 01:31:17,440
oh the edge with the black line on the led strips you'd think that would be in

1214
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:20,239
the like very obvious and easy to find

1215
01:31:17,440 --> 01:31:26,320
quick guide part of it but it's not black line on the led strips

1216
01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:32,800
look at that i had it right anyway so there's a first time for everything

1217
01:31:30,639 --> 01:31:37,120
i got something right without having to do it a few times

1218
01:31:35,679 --> 01:31:41,679
oh i guess i don't really need this extension here

1219
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,679
okay

1220
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:48,000
the sucky thing about having the stream

1221
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:54,320
cut out in the middle is that i will have to cut together

1222
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:59,920
the video now which is very unfortunate it makes it a lot more work

1223
01:31:57,440 --> 01:32:03,679
but that's okay because brandon makes up for it with his good looks and charm

1224
01:32:04,159 --> 01:32:10,400
well i know it wasn't my fault and i know you were moving ladders

1225
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,400
around

1226
01:32:11,679 --> 01:32:16,880
so i think the point of the magnets isn't necessarily to work on their own

1227
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:22,480
so i'm going to go ahead i'm going to use the magnet but i'm going to also use

1228
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:26,480
the included adhesive jug so the magnets can kind of hold the

1229
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:29,920
adhesive in place something that is more needed than you might think if

1230
01:32:28,159 --> 01:32:36,159
you've ever mounted an led strip you probably know for the most part they do

1231
01:32:32,239 --> 01:32:37,600
not mount very reliably

1232
01:32:36,159 --> 01:32:42,719
all right so let's grab another one here i really like this system with the

1233
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:44,639
little extensions and the little uh

1234
01:32:42,719 --> 01:32:48,960
you know whatever else it is that we got going on

1235
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:54,000
huh it goes in this end i like this

1236
01:32:50,719 --> 01:32:57,120
so now i'm gonna do one on the top

1237
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,120
going to go ahead i'm going to

1238
01:32:58,159 --> 01:33:04,639
yeah so i'll install that right up there we are going to have any lighting effect

1239
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:08,080
we want oh wait a minute

1240
01:33:06,239 --> 01:33:11,679
it occurs to me this is not a five and a quarter inch bay device i wonder if we

1241
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:15,120
actually ever got the strip that lg

1242
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:18,719
ordered or if this is just one that nzxt sent to

1243
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:24,480
me it doesn't really matter

1244
01:33:21,199 --> 01:33:24,480
i don't actually care

1245
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:29,199
i'll just get nzxt to send another one

1246
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:35,360
yep that'll do okay

1247
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:41,040
so i'm actually really uncertain about this

1248
01:33:37,679 --> 01:33:42,800
last run here i think we might kind of

1249
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:47,120
think we might kind of end up overdoing it if we're not careful

1250
01:33:45,199 --> 01:33:51,520
so i'm just going to kind of put that in there and then i'm going to

1251
01:33:48,639 --> 01:33:55,760
run this one kind of down here and i'm going to hope that that kind of

1252
01:33:53,440 --> 01:33:59,440
holds together for me here there we go

1253
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:02,719
all right and that we end up with a nice nice even glow effect so i'm going to

1254
01:34:00,719 --> 01:34:05,920
use one more extension and then bring that around to the oh

1255
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:10,000
they've got really short ones oh shoot i should have used one of those there

1256
01:34:07,679 --> 01:34:13,040
that's okay i'll send all the extra bits to ryland

1257
01:34:11,679 --> 01:34:18,040
i'm sure the first thing he's going to do is take the whole thing apart and put it all back together anyway

1258
01:34:20,159 --> 01:34:27,280
how many people managed to stay oh 2600 of you you guys you guys are the ones

1259
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:31,560
who believe in me who believe in me for some reason

1260
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:38,719
i've never given you a reason to believe that i can bring the stream back online

1261
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:41,360
successfully but you believe anyway i admire that

1262
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:47,320
see them i admire brandon

1263
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,960
it's okay i know you didn't mean to ruin the evening

1264
01:34:59,199 --> 01:35:01,840
sorry

1265
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:15,360
okay there we go all the led strips are

1266
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:19,440
in cool i'm liking this rig so far actually

1267
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,880
all right what's left

1268
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:28,080
what is left is that it oh sli bridge

1269
01:35:26,480 --> 01:35:30,960
never want to forget the sli bridge that's always uh that's always annoying

1270
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:36,400
you go and you boot up the machine for the first time you're like i'm sure something's missing

1271
01:35:35,199 --> 01:35:42,080
i've got people telling me to put the leds on the case door yes that is

1272
01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:44,800
actually a way to do it but i'm going to do it like this

1273
01:35:45,679 --> 01:35:52,400
all right i sure wish ASUS included black sli

1274
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:56,880
bridges those just look awful this like orange sli bridge i don't know

1275
01:35:54,480 --> 01:36:01,280
what the deal is with that okay

1276
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:06,800
not too shabby actually

1277
01:36:03,679 --> 01:36:08,960
a zip tie here a zip tie there and this

1278
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:15,199
is uh this is some primo grade stuff right here oh there you go guys

1279
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:20,480
looks a little something like that and i think that pretty much concludes

1280
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:23,520
our first ever live

1281
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:27,360
build log it wasn't really much of a guide or anything like that but let me

1282
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:30,880
know and if you're watching this on youtube which it will be uploaded to

1283
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:34,719
later let me know in the comments do you like this format for builds do you want

1284
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:38,320
to see us do you know completely different things that are not like this

1285
01:36:36,719 --> 01:36:41,199
leave your suggestions we're always open to them but we're not always open to

1286
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:44,239
them but we always ask for them and then sometimes we ask for them just so we can

1287
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:48,400
ignore them that's not what we do all right see you guys later

1288
01:36:49,119 --> 01:36:55,600
it's always awkward doing outros on live broadcast stuff

1289
01:36:53,119 --> 01:36:58,639
because like yeah

1290
01:36:56,639 --> 01:37:01,679
and we're done oh crap i
