WEBVTT

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.600
oh i left my thing okay i'm live

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:15.759
welcome friends to something a little bit different it actually is kind of

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

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:26.160
yes with my flippy knife and my flippy screwdriver i will be

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.160
doing a live pc build this is actually the machine that i worked with the

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:33.440
winner of lg's ultrawide festival hence the sweater that i actually just put on

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:36.640
randomly this morning and worked out as a happy accident that i'm wearing so

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

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:45.200
well pick out all the parts for and then well put together in theory he was

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:48.800
supposed to put it together himself but i picked out a bunch of stuff that

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

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

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

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:03.600
have two camera angles i have that i have the top down camera angle got my

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.960
like stab and screwdriver and then i got the uh more in the front

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.560
more traditional camera angle so without further ado

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

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.200
so i can talk to you lovely twitch chat people today

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

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:30.159
up to ban people for star wars spoilers so i really wouldn't tempt the gods

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.560
on on that one right there ah one two three four so i get to

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:37.520
interact with twitch chat the wretched hive of scum and villainy

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.720
that it is wow we have 1400 people watching me have

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

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

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

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:01.840
a fractal design define r5 we were gonna go with some totally like wonko tastic

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

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:09.599
budget uh instead we ended up rebalancing that

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.640
so he could afford like a more reasonable case and like a laptop so um

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:19.200
so yeah we went to define our five it's quiet it looks good it's

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.680
black it's fractal it's reasonably well built

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

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.640
is actually not the motherboard we intended to buy but it doesn't make that

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.760
much of a difference we were going to use the deluxe this is

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.599
the x99a i think it's missing

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

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.519
little whoopsie um for CPU this is pretty cool

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.400
now a normal youtuber probably would have

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:58.080
told our winner hey you could get yourself an extreme edition

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.519
but i'm Linus so i was like hey

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.120
let's get an e5 2690 v3

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

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

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:17.599
little site for finding out all the information you could want to know about

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:22.480
pretty much all of their cpus so the 2690 v3 is a

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.959
he stalls for time he hits specifications

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:36.239
so it's 12 core CPU that runs at a nominal frequency of around 2.6

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:40.480
gigahertz but can turbo boost up with pretty much the best of them so

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

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.440
oh okay so RAM we went with the ecc RAM

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:54.239
we got uh 64 gigs so four 16 gig sticks

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.040
of ecc memory because quite frankly it's gotten to the point where memory is fast

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:04.400
enough and so is so our cpus so this is uh 2133 megahertz stuff some samsung

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:08.319
stuff that was on the qvl for the deluxe board

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

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.760
don't need and the winner ryland is going to end up

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

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:23.759
another little little mistake we were we asked for some knock 201 they sent us a

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.400
cooler master hyper 212 yield the reality of it is um these zeons in spite

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:31.759
of all their cores actually don't run very hot

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:35.759
it helps to have the heat distributed more so that cooler is going to do just

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.520
fine for us and you can't overclock the ons anyway so really really not too

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:42.600
worried about that in terms of power supply

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:47.600
we went with an rm1000i i had actually he picked this

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

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

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:59.840
and i was like you're right uh this was a really good

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

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.000
uh these are cool so a lot of people

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:13.039
uh including including rylan don't know this but you can actually buy just

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.320
generic RAM sticks that don't have heat spreaders on them because remember guys

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.560
the heat spreaders really don't do anything so you can just buy like whatever RAM

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:23.360
sticks you want and then you can actually get pretty cool looking here

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

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.000
looking heat spreaders that actually look pretty cool so we picked

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:37.039
up four of those although it should be noted that buying

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.479
those uh aftermarket is quite a bit more expensive

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

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:52.160
money the only reason we ended up doing it was that we wanted to um

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:55.440
we wanted to get ecc memory none of which comes with like

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.199
cool gamery looking heat spreaders or anything like that

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:04.080
for storage we went with the usual so we've got our uh

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:06.240
we've got our one terabyte samsung 850 pro

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:11.120
and then we've got our solid-state storage backed up by two wd red six

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:15.440
terabyte drives he actually didn't specify how he wants those set up so i'm

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.639
going to put them in raid one because i suspect six terabytes is more than

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:22.800
enough for him we went with Linus tech tips edition

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

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:30.160
my fans uh to my fans uh also we went with the

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:33.199
hugh plus which wish i hold this which way is

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

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:43.280
order to throw some illumination inside and finally i guess that leads us to our

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:48.639
graphics card so rylan actually did what any sort of excited person who gets a

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

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:57.919
went ryland ryland ryland

00:06:55.280 --> 00:07:00.960
we can get you the same performance if not better

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

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:08.479
money on other really cool stuff so he ended up with like a camera notebook

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:13.039
um like two pairs of jaybird uh wireless

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:18.560
earphones like a bunch of a bunch of really cool stuff because we saved money

00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:21.440
without compromising on performance so let's start the way we usually do i

00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:23.680
am live streaming what can i do for you sir

00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:31.400
the camera mic is on the camera mic is not on so there's that

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:41.960
why am i why am i being informed now and not like 15 minutes ago um

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:52.319
oh it's while i have the overhead cam up

00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:57.000
i see hmm oh bloody hell

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:04.720
apparently this one has its microphone

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.720
on

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:12.199
well then hmm

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:18.000
i don't actually know how to turn that off

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.120
that's an idea

00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:32.000
okay well hopefully that fixes it

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:35.440
yes friends hopefully that fixes it indeed

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:48.000
all right boom well let's see if that uh is fixed

00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:50.640
apparently my flies my fly is half open

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:55.680
i shall demonstrate for you half see the bottom half is actually

00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:59.680
zipped yes friends only half

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:02.880
only half unzipped all right so let's start this build the way that we usually

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:08.480
do with the motherboard inside the motherboard box we will find

00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:13.920
the accessories that we need like our i o plate our sli bridge

00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:17.760
uh and three SATA cables

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.720
dang it it always messes with my ocd when i have

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.880
to use uh when i have to use one

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:32.720
right angle SATA cable and the others are straight

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.720
it's going to kill me all right

00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:39.839
i'm going to go ahead and take off the anti-static bag

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

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.880
box we don't need any other of the action inside there

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:54.720
you know what's really funny is because i don't have to like painstakingly film

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:59.200
all of this this is probably going to this video

00:09:56.959 --> 00:10:05.279
probably isn't going to be much longer than my usual build guides always were

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:09.360
even though i don't actually get the benefit of video editing today i have to

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:14.880
actually do the whole thing live so CPU installation

00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:17.600
always double check even i double check

00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:21.360
after all these times installing cpus make sure the golden corner aligns with

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.880
the other more different golden corner triangle thing boop

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.720
oh i always do that i close up the motherboard box before i remember to put

00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:31.600
on the socket cover socket cover is important keep that in your motherboard

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

00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:39.519
you don't have it they may actually reject your rma and maybe for good

00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:42.880
reason because you can oops

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:47.200
because you can damage the uh you can damage the motherboard socket pretty

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.720
easily without that cover on all right

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.880
next up is RAM and this will be more interesting than it usually is because i

00:10:52.399 --> 00:11:00.480
have never installed these akust

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:02.320
iron max RAM sinks before

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:07.120
yes friends i have actually no idea how to install them so

00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:10.959
okay it involves a screwdriver

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:14.519
dang it where's an ifixit kit when you need it oh there's one

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:24.000
okay so uh i did say i would pay attention to

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:28.560
twitch chat and then i proceeded to not not notice uh

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:32.640
any of the things that they said about my audio issues

00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:36.399
oh the motherboard's not broken you guys need to all just calm your boobies down

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.079
a little bit it's all good in the hood

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:48.079
all right now one thing i'm a little uncertain

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:52.800
about is whether this RAM is actually going to work in this motherboard

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:57.680
so that's interesting so that's just a foam

00:11:54.959 --> 00:12:01.600
doodad this is one really tricky thing about

00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:06.560
installing these aftermarket memory spreaders is

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.279
getting the memory module centered

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

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:16.240
each other they're gonna look really really weird

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:22.920
um okay so i'm gonna have to try and remember this i want stickers stickers

00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:22.920
up

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:31.120
that looks about right how adhesive is this oh it's not that sticky okay

00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:42.720
yep this is how boring it is when i do

00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:48.240
this stuff unedited there's an awful lot of tedious like oh line the little thing

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.920
on the other little thing and then and then

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.920
screw it down

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

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:02.240
i didn't even get a haircut this weekend i actually meant to

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

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.399
upside down

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.800
that looks fine i don't know

00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:34.160
all right so this my friends is what it's going to

00:13:32.079 --> 00:13:37.279
look like installed in the motherboard you can see out here actually i'm going

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:42.320
to switch to the other angle so you can see even this like servery memory can

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.079
actually look pretty uh pretty gamertastic if you go and throw yourself

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:49.200
a little aftermarket heat spreader thing on there here's another another angle at

00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:52.079
that i'm going to go ahead and throw this on the motherboard

00:13:53.760 --> 00:14:00.000
there you go looks about as like

00:13:57.680 --> 00:14:03.680
gamery and performancy as pretty much anything so

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:06.480
all right let's uh sorry i'm having trouble remembering which ones are my

00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:10.240
hot keys i'm gonna i'll i'll definitely talk to

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:13.839
twitch chat now i'll definitely show twitch i'll talk to

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:20.079
twitchchat now the green ruins it what green

00:14:17.199 --> 00:14:24.240
oh the green pcb you know okay the thing about the whole green pcb

00:14:22.959 --> 00:14:29.360
thing is like did you know that green pcbs are

00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:36.399
legitimately cheaper for one thing i did not know that a black pcb does add cost

00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:41.760
to the part and on servers that is a completely unnecessary cost because

00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:45.760
literally no one on earth cares that their server has a black pcb

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:51.920
on the memory um where was i going with this i'm fairly

00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:51.920
sure this was important

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:57.760
little known fact did you know something something green peace be you know

00:14:55.920 --> 00:15:00.959
nothing okay RAM yeah it doesn't the green pcb really doesn't bother me that

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:06.480
much on RAM because once it's installed you really can't see

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:11.040
it very well so unless you're really getting in there

00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:15.199
with like the macro lens with your slr and you're like determined to have your

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:19.199
build be like totally perfect for a million dollar pc or something

00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:22.880
those kinds of little details don't matter as much to me as having a system

00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:27.040
that's 100 stable so

00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:31.760
ecc RAM is it necessary for most applications no

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:35.600
but does it eliminate yet another potential

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:38.240
source of of instability yes it does

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.320
what else we got here

00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:48.720
so that is why my macbook something

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

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:55.759
a lot of things that make a computer a personal computer or a

00:15:54.800 --> 00:16:01.279
server ecc memory is one of them that i would definitely

00:15:59.199 --> 00:16:05.360
consider to be on the on the server side of things

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:09.839
um because you can you can definitely have a desktop computer that is stable

00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:13.759
enough with unbuffered dimms but in order for this to qualify as a

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

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:20.959
wouldn't be running a consumer grade motherboard we'd be running some kind of

00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:25.680
a server board ASUS has stuff available super micro is

00:16:22.959 --> 00:16:28.959
very popular but yeah we'd be running a server board

00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:32.639
and server boards aren't really suitable for desktop and workstation applications

00:16:30.959 --> 00:16:37.120
for a number of reasons mostly because they

00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:42.160
trade they trade off their their no-nonsense

00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:43.600
stability for well nonsense and features

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

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:51.120
really want to see on our products so

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

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:59.920
of usb ports and all that stuff you're not

00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:04.079
going to find that on a server board the other thing that a server typically has

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

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:12.880
non-redundant power supply that means if the power supply fails

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:16.319
the system shuts down and and potentially even parts of it don't work

00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:21.839
anymore i'm not saying i expect an rm1000i to

00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:24.720
fail it's a very good power supply but

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

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:31.600
to be using a redundant power supply where there's actually two

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:35.520
separate completely independent power supply modules within a single unit and

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:40.559
if one of them fails outright stops working the whole thing continues to work in

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:44.880
fact one of our servers here actually has a triple redundant power supply i'm

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

00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:51.200
a bit of a different angle while i talk for a bit

00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:55.120
um the bot is unforgiving yes the bot is

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:59.600
unforgiving for certain things where we've had a lot of problems in the past

00:17:57.280 --> 00:18:02.799
i love our bot actually it's great it

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:06.720
makes life a lot easier for us it's fantastic

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:10.160
um what is this build for got some people asking questions that i answered

00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:15.280
at the beginning of the stream way to not tune in immediately

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

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:24.640
they only send notifications sort of approximately when they feel like it um

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:31.520
this is for the winner of the ultra wide festival

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:34.559
ultimate dream setup machine thing so um

00:18:31.520 --> 00:18:37.200
yeah this is this is his this is his rig

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

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:45.200
does that is freaking sick

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.559
freaking sick yo all right

00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:53.520
boom so there you have it i'll give you guys a better look at that

00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:57.200
that is what it looks like

00:18:55.120 --> 00:19:01.919
with all those uh memory sticks there installed

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:08.080
not bad huh for ecc dimms

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.080
yes friends all right

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

00:19:13.520 --> 00:19:15.919
evo

00:19:17.280 --> 00:19:23.039
uh where's my knife there it is

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

00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:31.200
um it was kind of a creator-oriented

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:36.000
uh contest so uh i'm very certain that especially with

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:39.520
the camera that he picked up he actually had to borrow a camera in

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:44.240
order to participate in the contest but he now with his new dream setup has his

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

00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:52.799
content creation on this rig as well so in that case that uh that extra RAM

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

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.799
crazy

00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:08.320
okay

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:18.400
there we are funny story i have actually

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.520
never mounted a hyper 212 evo

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:24.240
but i'm going to try and do it without the instructions

00:20:21.760 --> 00:20:29.679
okay so that appears to be a hold down plate of some sort

00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:32.000
that appears to be a fan of some sort

00:20:29.679 --> 00:20:36.080
that appears to be oh my goodness what is that

00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:41.039
it's okay don't worry i got this i got this you guys

00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:41.039
what the heck

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:47.679
yeah sure okay i still remember when like heat pipe

00:20:46.159 --> 00:20:51.760
direct touch looks like a big deal i think zigmatech

00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:55.600
started that nonsense sorry i'm just i'm thinking because i'm

00:20:53.600 --> 00:21:01.679
thinking out loud because this cooler has the heat pipes

00:20:57.679 --> 00:21:04.559
directly contacting the CPU

00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:08.240
yes my friends i do i vaguely remember back when

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:13.200
back when CPU coolers were changing really fast you know back when thermal

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:16.799
write was releasing stuff like the xp90c and we were all like

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:21.280
whoa man it's like a full copper heat sink man

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:27.760
what the heck is this

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:33.440
okay yep yep okay there's a thing that holds it in

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:37.120
the place to something something

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:40.679
can i help whoever's here with something

00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:40.679
what the heck

00:21:47.120 --> 00:21:53.840
that is weird okay well let's not stress about that

00:21:51.679 --> 00:21:58.159
let's put the uh wow that's really nice the way they

00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:02.400
put all the hardware and a little uh clam shell for you here

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:08.720
i like that that is a nice touch cooler master

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:08.720
and give credit where credit is due

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:15.440
okay now

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

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

00:22:27.919 --> 00:22:34.400
puppies in yep looks like that's how it's done

00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:38.159
2011 mounting is always a bit of a always a bit of a challenge but not

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:43.600
always uh some companies do it really well Noctua does it really well uh be

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:46.080
quiet does it particularly poorly

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:48.799
where just some guys it's like a total afterthought it basically doesn't work

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

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:58.080
platform is an lga 2011 test bench and

00:22:56.159 --> 00:23:02.480
so be quiet! every time they sent us a cooler back when we really did heatsink

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

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:10.799
he'd be like well because it's trash it's terrible they're

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

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:18.559
so the people who re with a different

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:22.799
platform they'll like it and we won't

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:26.480
wait a minute dang it okay i'm resorting to the

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:31.600
instructions because i don't know which of the

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:35.840
correctly threaded doodads i'm supposed to put in

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.750
so gets the taller one

00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:41.890
and

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.200
bloody hell

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:53.039
um yep

00:23:50.640 --> 00:24:00.400
2011 gets the skinnier ones knew that was gonna happen

00:23:55.919 --> 00:24:00.400
again the benefits of video editing

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:08.000
when you screw something up oh just completely get it wrong you can just

00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:12.000
undo that part and not show it except sometimes when we do anyway because we

00:24:10.080 --> 00:24:15.919
screw up sometimes even in the video editing part of things

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:21.520
what's twitch chat one

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.520
hope he sees the amount of thermal paste you're supposed to put on according to

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

00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:35.919
then if it's any more than like a little bit i will completely ignore it

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:35.919
just for you guys

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:44.559
that was actually my favorite moment in austin's uh borinator

00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:49.360
bornator build log thing that he and i worked on together where he gives it to

00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:52.320
me the expert to put the thermal paste on and i'm just like

00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:56.880
very fun you guys should check out that uh check out that

00:24:55.360 --> 00:25:02.000
that build log thing if you haven't already austin evans channel

00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:06.000
i actually am shipping the pc out to the winner today

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

00:25:07.919 --> 00:25:14.799
same as me doing it all right thermal compound i promised to

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:18.400
look at the instructions for this so where are we where we got where's that

00:25:19.679 --> 00:25:25.360
oh nice there you go guys that's how much

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

00:25:28.320 --> 00:25:33.200
ham no big deal no friends we're gonna put on we'll put

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

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.760
lot of CPU cores in there a lot of people get really wrapped up in

00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:46.640
the in the how much thermal compound

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:49.919
ah dang it well how much is pretty important but a lot of people get really

00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:54.159
wrapped up in the how to apply thermal compound argument when the truth of the

00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:57.120
matter is that it's within a degree or two

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

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:07.039
um so unless you're unless you're going for like

00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:10.720
sub-zero elite hacksaw overclock zors or

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:12.799
or whatever and even if you are that

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:15.520
degree is really very unlikely to make that big of a

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:19.360
difference using the right type of thermal compound

00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:22.400
is actually quite a bit more important like if you are going subzero for

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.080
example you want to use a thermal compound that

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

00:26:29.679 --> 00:26:36.080
for example um ceramic is apparently the the go-to

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

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:43.520
pretty out of the loop as far as the whole extreme overclocking thing goes

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.520
these days

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:50.400
all right let's get this puppy

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:54.559
mounted now maybe you guys can tell me

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:58.640
cooler master or cooler master

00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:01.760
these are important details i think we're going to go this way

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

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:11.279
lifting up and and reseeding the heatsink once the once the goop is

00:27:09.520 --> 00:27:14.000
already on there it really isn't that big of a deal i've

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:18.960
actually taken just old test benches

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:22.320
popped off the cooler worked on it put it back on

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:26.400
really doesn't matter um i did that as just like a test for

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

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:35.440
where i took like a really old thermal compound

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.039
application and

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

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

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.840
difference and it did not

00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:58.000
it was within the margin of error which is like realistically a couple of

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:58.000
degrees actually

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:07.200
okay look at that awesome

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

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

00:28:13.840 --> 00:28:17.640
gonna overdo this

00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:24.640
um turkey cola hmm

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:28.080
what's up with the video stutter i don't know

00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:31.679
i have no idea here maybe i should switch angles maybe

00:28:29.760 --> 00:28:36.080
that'll help i don't actually expect that to help i'm just

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.080
being unhelpful

00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:42.720
i'm kind of glad we went lga 2011 on this uh on this system

00:28:41.520 --> 00:28:46.559
with all the things i've been hearing about skylake and CPU's bending and

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

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:55.520
that's really not that tight actually i'm gonna go all the way then

00:28:53.520 --> 00:28:59.840
i think that's where the stopper is yeah yeah it's not too bad

00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.840
all right

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

00:29:14.399 --> 00:29:20.480
evaluate your mounting pressure if your board is bowing like crazy then that's

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:23.360
that's probably not really what you were going for this one seems to be

00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:25.760
completely fine

00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:32.960
speaking of being completely fine it's really lucky that we ended up with um

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:37.840
with a cooler that was going to work for us here given that they

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:41.039
didn't ship the one that we had wanted

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:42.880
because lga 2011 you know you can mount

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.679
pretty much any cooler on it almost everyone has compatibility with

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:50.240
it but many coolers out there don't work

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.840
optimally with it if you want to install a whole bunch of memory sticks because

00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:56.559
you've got memory slots on both sides of the CPU

00:29:58.080 --> 00:30:02.559
so it happens that the hyper 212

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

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.840
does work just fine

00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.480
if you install a bunch of RAM

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:20.080
all right so put that accessory back in the box

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

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:31.039
right now right Linus tech tips edition fan friends

00:30:29.520 --> 00:30:34.320
i can read you guys the little letter that's inside them

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:39.760
if you didn't order one you won't have seen this letter yet dear fan

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

00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:48.159
claims about how we co-engineered this special edition nff12

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:52.000
pwm which is probably a good thing because as our regular viewers know we

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

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

00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:04.399
and tan fans over the last decade so

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:09.919
what did we do something we've wanted to do since we

00:31:06.080 --> 00:31:12.559
first laid eyes on the nf s12 we picked

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

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

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:25.120
sincerely lioness sebastian alliance media group ceo

00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:32.000
so i'm going to have to uh do some cajiggering here in order to get

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:34.480
this puppy mounted

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

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

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.720
there we go take out these screws

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:59.200
oh what do you mean the fan is going to be dead

00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:03.760
telegenic boss it is not going to be dead it's going to be awesome

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

00:32:05.760 --> 00:32:12.480
they got something like 2 out of 1000 back or something like that

00:32:09.919 --> 00:32:17.919
so that is uh that is to be considered a fairly good uh fairly good defective

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:20.080
rate in fact i don't even think that um

00:32:17.919 --> 00:32:23.039
that the fan was actually dead i think it was just someone changed their mind

00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:28.880
so yeah take that

00:32:25.679 --> 00:32:30.399
fans gonna be dead

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:34.320
yeah right i mean to be clear nothing is perfect

00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:38.080
but we just i mean we wanted to pick something that we thought we were going

00:32:35.919 --> 00:32:43.640
to have a pretty darn good chance of having work so

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.640
so we went with nff12s

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

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

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

00:32:57.760 --> 00:33:03.360
just for me if i'm gonna put my name on something i

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

00:33:05.120 --> 00:33:10.720
don't want that stress of people being like well i bought the Linus tech tips

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:14.640
edition one thinking it was the best and now i don't trust Linus anymore because

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

00:33:16.320 --> 00:33:22.880
that any product can have

00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:26.080
a defect um shoot

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

00:33:27.760 --> 00:33:31.120
this on and then get back to it

00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:38.919
can i help you Colton caltane

00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:49.720
his gamer handle he's really creative that Colton he

00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:49.720
managed to change two whole vowels

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:56.240
follow me on twitch yeah right

00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:04.080
i refuse to follow you on twitch all right let's have a look at this

00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:09.119
so that friends is what it's looking like now

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:13.679
not too shabby right for like all

00:34:10.399 --> 00:34:13.679
servery stuff and all that

00:34:14.879 --> 00:34:22.240
all right okay what's next i guess

00:34:18.839 --> 00:34:23.679
i'll put uh oh well i forgot those

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

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:32.079
your rubber tabs they're not going back on there now because

00:34:29.839 --> 00:34:35.359
i'm live streaming and people got places to go and people to see

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:39.599
they don't want to see me put on that tab again

00:34:37.040 --> 00:34:45.760
sorry buddy your system's basically a failure

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.760
it's a failure waiting to happen

00:34:45.919 --> 00:34:51.679
but at least it comes with this cool Linus tech tips case badge

00:34:55.839 --> 00:34:59.000
all right

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:12.160
what does uh twitch chat want

00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.599
worth it to upgrade from 3570k to 6600k

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:26.880
casualgamer you know i don't know it really depends are you

00:35:25.040 --> 00:35:31.440
running into CPU bottlenecks in your games you'll notice because

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:34.880
your frame rates will be lower than other people who have the same graphics

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:37.760
card as you are reporting although something to bear in mind is that the

00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:44.640
internet is full of people who are getting 500 frames per second in every

00:35:39.839 --> 00:35:46.240
game with an 8400 gs so

00:35:44.640 --> 00:35:51.119
yeah there's there's there's three pieces there's three pieces of the calculation

00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:54.960
and a lot of people conveniently leave out a very important

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.800
one there's your frames per second there's your graphics card

00:35:56.720 --> 00:36:04.640
and then there's the detail settings that you are running the game at

00:36:01.520 --> 00:36:06.960
that is very very very important so

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:13.599
people be like yeah i got like this wicked hd 5450 it runs shadow of ward

00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:17.599
door at like 80 FPS i'll be like okay a

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.920
no it doesn't you're a liar and

00:36:18.640 --> 00:36:26.160
b what resolution and settings are you running yeah man i'm running 1080p man

00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:29.119
i'm like okay did you have to do like some

00:36:27.520 --> 00:36:33.520
some like eye and eye edits in order to get the details turned

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:40.400
down low enough like i didn't know they had negative anti-aliasing

00:36:37.359 --> 00:36:42.160
uh like like just plain aliasing it's

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:44.480
like i'm just gonna add aliasing to my game

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

00:36:47.680 --> 00:36:52.720
online although some review sites

00:36:51.040 --> 00:36:57.520
will show you what benchmarking run they use and they will give you numbers that are

00:36:55.839 --> 00:37:00.880
actually reputable and then what you can do is you can you

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

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

00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:14.240
but the question to ask yourself too is does it matter

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.680
um do you need 90 FPS if you have 80 FPS

00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:22.599
i can tell you right now unless you have a monitor that runs at

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.599
90 hertz the answer is probably no

00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.839
um

00:37:38.560 --> 00:37:47.000
okay so

00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:47.000
that isn't what was supposed to happen

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.320
huh

00:37:55.680 --> 00:38:02.240
wow how did how did this happen

00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:08.400
i don't know i mean technically this will work fine

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:12.560
it's really not what i would have preferred

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:16.320
um let me think

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.680
let me think hey um luke can i interrupt you for a minute

00:38:17.520 --> 00:38:24.400
did we ship evga back all those cards yet yeah

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.400
we did yeah oh

00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:33.839
do we have an evga 980 ti with an acx

00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:33.839
2.0 cooler

00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:41.520
so we managed to order a reference card and

00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:44.160
an acx card oh oh

00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:49.520
what you know what i might just have to put

00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:53.760
it together and send it to rylan to figure out if he

00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:56.800
can do an exchange for something like that because

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

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

00:39:05.200 --> 00:39:11.520
not what the objective was today to have two different cards um i can use this

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:15.839
though as an opportunity to talk about sli compatibility and how it works

00:39:20.640 --> 00:39:28.480
like ah yeah sli compatibility and how it works

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

00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:36.640
same amount of RAM they didn't used to require the same RAM amount in theory

00:39:35.839 --> 00:39:40.800
although very few people ever got it to work with

00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:45.599
very few driver uh versions and very few like uh you

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

00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:54.880
that's like gtx 980 not a 980 and a 980

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:58.320
ti not a 980 and a 980 se

00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.520
two 980 ti's or two 980s or two 970s the

00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:03.440
same thing no matter what brand they are you've got

00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:06.960
you know your evga or Gigabyte or whatever else no matter what clock speed

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

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:14.000
even have like a an evga kingpin card

00:40:12.560 --> 00:40:18.240
and like a you know reference card from Gigabyte or

00:40:17.359 --> 00:40:22.839
something they will run an sli

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

00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:34.800
it's just an aesthetic issue um

00:40:30.560 --> 00:40:34.800
all right so this is the nzxt hue

00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:40.640
inside we will find a controller box

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:44.640
i've actually never used this one before i recommended it to ryland um having

00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:48.920
heard good things about it but i've never i've never actually used

00:40:54.400 --> 00:41:00.560
now it's broken this is what he gets for letting me

00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.560
build this computer

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

00:41:07.680 --> 00:41:12.720
front bay controller mixer thing that lets you mix your red green and blue led

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

00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:23.359
together with these little connector doodadlies and then you've got the

00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:26.720
controller box that lets you plug in a couple of things to it it's

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

00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:36.720
way of handling this stuff than just you know back in the day we

00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:40.560
had to use inverters which by the way were all garbage every single one of

00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:44.480
them was trash so we had to use these inverters

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:49.280
and then we had to use cathode tubes all of which failed uh

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

00:41:53.040 --> 00:42:00.480
to ac electricity conversion things i had them melt inside my case and like

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

00:42:02.560 --> 00:42:08.640
computers now all right so we're going to put all

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:12.640
those parts kind of over here i guess and get to them later got our hard

00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:17.040
drives wd reds a lot of people think wd red is

00:42:15.359 --> 00:42:21.200
only for nas let me ask you this

00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:23.520
what is a computer with a bunch of hard drives in it

00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:28.480
if not a nas yes

00:42:26.240 --> 00:42:31.920
network attached storage if your computer is on the network and it has

00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:34.800
storage and you're sharing it

00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:37.599
it's a nas

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.359
what are you gentlemen up to anyway

00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:46.400
oh lens things

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:50.800
oh cool

00:42:51.200 --> 00:42:55.680
they're better why is the door closed though

00:42:56.160 --> 00:43:02.880
okay so you'd rather get cancer than be cold

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.880
because that's what i'm hearing

00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:09.040
oh you turned the heater off yeah we had the heater on in here this morning

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:14.160
and we've never actually turned it on before so it basically smelled like cancer in

00:43:12.160 --> 00:43:17.680
the studio all day like it it was some pretty

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:24.839
yeah it was some pretty it was some pretty bad news

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

00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:34.480
and having it be kind of like a burning smell but uh yeah

00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:42.079
yeah but that wasn't burning that was like that was like burning your lungs

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

00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:56.960
but i always try anyway because i'm like that

00:43:54.480 --> 00:44:00.319
i'm going to take everything out of the power supply box

00:43:58.560 --> 00:44:03.520
that i believe i will need down to every modular cable i intend to

00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:09.520
use and see if i can actually get it right

00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:12.800
like i said it never works i know this

00:44:09.520 --> 00:44:12.800
but i'm still going to try

00:44:15.520 --> 00:44:21.800
ah look at that only one seal to break in here boom

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

00:44:27.680 --> 00:44:33.359
need silica gel modular cables

00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:40.960
we will need this four plus six pin pci express

00:44:38.319 --> 00:44:44.960
we will need this one too we will need

00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:49.200
this CPU power connector we will need oh how is the hue powered

00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:54.560
dc 5 volt okay it must have an adapter yes it does

00:44:53.680 --> 00:45:01.359
okay so we will need whatever the

00:44:58.160 --> 00:45:03.359
lowest number of connector molex adapter

00:45:01.359 --> 00:45:06.480
harness that we have is it looks like this one this one has

00:45:05.200 --> 00:45:09.920
three some power supply makers ship one with

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

00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:22.160
and we will need

00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:23.520
four SATA cables

00:45:22.160 --> 00:45:26.000
hopefully that's good

00:45:27.200 --> 00:45:33.359
we will also need the power supply i love these little baggies the Corsair

00:45:31.200 --> 00:45:35.920
packs their power supplies in i'm not convinced they're actually

00:45:34.560 --> 00:45:40.960
expensive but they feel really premium little velvet

00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:40.960
baggy doodads

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

00:45:46.640 --> 00:45:53.200
obviously i'm i just got this power supply and he ate foam months ago but

00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:57.359
this type of foam this this really soft closed cell black foam that you find in

00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.960
Corsair power supply boxes that's not actually where he got it it's just

00:45:58.720 --> 00:46:04.640
really similar to the stuff that he ate all right

00:46:02.319 --> 00:46:09.359
so there's our rm1000i here's all our accessories that we need

00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:12.960
and now it is finally enough stalling actually time to crack

00:46:11.359 --> 00:46:16.079
open the case and start building the machine

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

00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:23.400
awkward to deal with up there

00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:37.359
oh i did that thing i always do

00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:43.800
pro tip oh never mind it worked anyway okay forget

00:46:39.520 --> 00:46:43.800
it ow static

00:46:59.200 --> 00:47:04.560
all right yeah baby

00:47:02.319 --> 00:47:08.560
there it is how many people are watching this wow 4

00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:13.280
600 people watching the live computer building

00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:15.280
i should start like performing

00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:19.630
do like deadline a circus he is building

00:47:17.520 --> 00:47:24.319
computers

00:47:24.319 --> 00:47:27.520
i don't know if anyone would watch that

00:47:28.160 --> 00:47:33.680
although some people internally have been pitching the idea of us doing like

00:47:31.520 --> 00:47:37.200
some kind of a live show at some point like i don't know

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

00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:47.119
like kind of just even i don't know q a or something

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:51.079
i don't know all right side panel off

00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.359
what shall we start with

00:47:59.200 --> 00:48:05.040
okay just checking had kind of a kind of

00:48:02.720 --> 00:48:08.880
a panic moment there i was like does this board support sli

00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:12.800
it does which is good because we're running sli

00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:24.800
okay what slots this one

00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:28.000
and this one so we leave one gap and do

00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.000
another two there we go

00:48:30.240 --> 00:48:36.400
so they'll either have to send rylan the other board to swap out or

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

00:48:39.040 --> 00:48:43.760
the x99a and the x99 deluxe are really

00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:47.520
that different and in terms of features aside from the wi-fi i actually couldn't

00:48:45.520 --> 00:48:51.440
really find anything that mattered like i suspect there's some like weirdo

00:48:49.359 --> 00:48:55.119
features that that are there or not there but

00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:59.839
nothing really important this is cool Corsair has to put this

00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:03.359
warning on their power supplies okay guys

00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:07.280
it's all right if the fan in your power supply is not spinning

00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:12.240
it is literally supposed to do that that is literally a feature

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

00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:23.280
there's no such thing as a silent fan except a fan that is off

00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:23.280
can i help you brandon

00:49:23.839 --> 00:49:30.240
you're looking for something are you looking for love brandon

00:49:27.680 --> 00:49:35.520
because love is right here it's right here brandon

00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:35.520
it's right here inside of you

00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:41.920
and me at the same time it's a it's a very uh

00:49:42.319 --> 00:49:47.920
it's a very liberal sort of love it's an all over the place love

00:49:55.200 --> 00:50:00.079
what cable do you need

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

00:50:02.240 --> 00:50:11.119
okay usually i'm a pretty good person to turn

00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:11.119
to when you need help finding a cable

00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:16.559
yeah not as good as me didn't i own you the other day

00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:29.520
brendan and i are keeping score kind of like uh

00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:30.640
like legolas and the other guy give me

00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:35.359
in the middle earth movies that don't suck

00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:39.200
um who can find

00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:42.720
who can find things in like 30 seconds that other people can't find and then

00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:46.720
between us we're finding out who can do it most often and

00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:51.680
most consistently because i swear no one else in this

00:50:48.160 --> 00:50:52.839
entire company could find anything

00:50:51.680 --> 00:50:56.880
to save their lives it's like i can't find a

00:50:55.200 --> 00:50:59.839
multimeter like did you try that drawer where we

00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:02.319
keep the multimeters brilliant

00:51:05.680 --> 00:51:11.359
all right so the power supply is in if you're into

00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:14.400
that sort of thing um

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

00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:20.480
a reason why not we can take it out even if it's just to

00:51:19.359 --> 00:51:23.839
get it out of our way that's one of the cool features of this case

00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.440
boom more ventilation for the gpus just like

00:51:26.160 --> 00:51:32.079
that my friends and because we only have three drives

00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:35.280
um we can just mount everything in this

00:51:33.520 --> 00:51:40.720
lower cage and we're in pretty good shape there

00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:42.559
okay so i think especially with

00:51:40.720 --> 00:51:45.839
a little bit more open air and all that kind of stuff i

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

00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:55.760
i'm just gonna go ahead and boom put the uh put the motherboard right oh

00:51:52.720 --> 00:51:57.680
i am getting spoiled i'm getting used to

00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:01.920
uh motherboard standoffs being pre-installed

00:51:59.200 --> 00:52:06.559
and this particular one is not um hold on i gotta grab my motherboard

00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:10.800
standoff screwdriver yes i do actually own a screwdriver

00:52:08.240 --> 00:52:15.599
specifically for that just tech

00:52:13.200 --> 00:52:15.599
things

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

00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:29.359
so this is my little socketed uh socketed screwdriver just for installing

00:52:26.319 --> 00:52:29.359
motherboard standoffs

00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:34.800
they actually come with uh actually used

00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:38.079
to come with a lot of cases so i've got a handful of them

00:52:36.240 --> 00:52:42.559
but now everyone's cheaping out like fractal includes this horrendous

00:52:41.040 --> 00:52:46.559
like stupid plastic adapter thing that you can put

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

00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:57.760
guys plastic oh man i think liam lee was the one that used

00:52:54.720 --> 00:52:57.760
to include these ones

00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:06.720
cooler master uses a metal one oh i got people reminding me about the i

00:53:04.240 --> 00:53:10.800
o shield i would have figured it out i would have

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

00:53:12.839 --> 00:53:18.480
worry i don't remember the last time i

00:53:16.720 --> 00:53:21.920
failed to install an io shield when i had one a lot of people are probably

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

00:53:24.240 --> 00:53:29.839
the only reason that was missing was because luke had that i o shield in his

00:53:27.839 --> 00:53:33.680
garage that is why i didn't install an io

00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:37.920
shield and i have since followed that up with him and it has been retrieved so

00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:41.359
next time i build a system with that motherboard which i actually intend to

00:53:39.839 --> 00:53:46.160
do fairly soon i'm going to be doing like a really cool ltd edition build

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

00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:02.559
okay why power supply fan side up uh there's

00:54:00.640 --> 00:54:06.079
a reason for that if i was building this for myself

00:54:03.920 --> 00:54:09.200
i would probably go power supply fan down

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

00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:19.599
is not for me the thing about fractal cases this one

00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:24.480
in particular is that they have very short feet so if this case were to be

00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:29.280
installed on a relatively plush carpet it would actually come up leaving only

00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:32.640
like a fraction of a centimeter of space between this bottom

00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:36.400
fan filter guy here and the actual intake on the

00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:41.359
bottom of the case so installing the power supply fan side up

00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:48.240
is sort of the um less optimal but safer way if you don't

00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:50.559
know how the system is going to be used look at

00:54:50.839 --> 00:54:56.480
that so that's why i did that

00:54:54.079 --> 00:55:01.599
like plush carpet well yeah carpet that's more plush plush is a word

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

00:55:03.040 --> 00:55:08.960
tall so really any carpet could be a potential

00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:13.440
airflow issue and i've actually killed power supplies that way just putting the

00:55:11.520 --> 00:55:17.040
system on a carpet forgetting that it was one that had the fan on the bottom

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

00:55:18.640 --> 00:55:23.280
that and i have actually killed systems like that so

00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:26.960
yep these little lessons that you learn

00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:33.800
people are telling me the fan is upside down

00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:40.880
well okay i don't know all right let's get our motherboard

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

00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:49.079
motherboard doesn't shift around while you're trying to install it

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

00:55:56.960 --> 00:56:03.839
your floor and you have a small desk

00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:03.839
it's not an atrocity it's fine

00:56:04.319 --> 00:56:10.960
remember when your computer's plugged in like the thing's grounded like it

00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:13.440
actually has a ground prong

00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:17.760
i mean in most places i actually uh had to

00:56:16.319 --> 00:56:21.599
um i had to rip the ground prong off of one

00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:25.920
of my laptop charger cables when i was over in asia because we were in some

00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:28.839
country i forget which one it was and almost none of the outlets there had a

00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:34.319
ground prong i was like okay so it's 120 volt

00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:39.119
there's the two prongs like like at home but then there's no ground prong

00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:42.559
feel like crooked CPU cooler or whatever look it's adjustable

00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:48.880
man you guys are you guys are killing me here

00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:48.880
you guys are killing me here

00:56:51.040 --> 00:56:57.200
all right wow this is actually kind of a nice

00:56:54.960 --> 00:57:00.880
looking build i'm liking this white and black and just a touch of orange color

00:56:59.520 --> 00:57:05.040
scheme thing that we've got going on here let's do some power supply cables

00:57:02.640 --> 00:57:05.040
shall we

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

00:57:13.520 --> 00:57:18.640
going to matter much because

00:57:16.720 --> 00:57:23.920
that leaves us with only one extra expansion slot

00:57:21.680 --> 00:57:27.760
in the case and without having to add the extra cage

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

00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:36.000
can't remember which one it was like define r3 or something like that where

00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:39.119
you actually couldn't install an SSD on the back of the motherboard tray

00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:43.520
without taking the motherboard out

00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:49.920
so i never recommended in that case

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

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

00:57:56.640 --> 00:58:06.559
case so it should be fine 24 pin etx peripheral blah blah blah

00:58:02.240 --> 00:58:10.559
blah blah blah six plus two pin PCIe

00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:12.160
six plus two pin PCIe

00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:15.920
yeah i really don't know if we're gonna keep doing

00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:20.319
build guides in the same way that we've been doing them before anymore like this

00:58:18.319 --> 00:58:24.319
kind of stuff feels so routine for me now while i recognize that

00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:28.799
you know some of our viewers are are new to us and

00:58:25.839 --> 00:58:33.839
haven't seen this stuff before i just you know i hate i hate making content

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

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

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

00:58:42.720 --> 00:58:48.000
do it live but we've had a lot of people request more

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

00:58:50.640 --> 00:58:56.000
pc build guides on the internet um

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

00:58:57.839 --> 00:59:02.640
that we the way that we used to

00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:06.640
um blah blah blah are the new skylake i5s

00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:12.559
overclockable motherboards you said would allow it on lan show i don't know

00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:16.079
are they um i know that i had heard although i haven't personally tested it

00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:22.000
yet i had heard that uh non-k skylake cpus are now

00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:27.200
overclockable but um

00:59:24.160 --> 00:59:29.440
yeah i haven't verified it yet i think

00:59:27.200 --> 00:59:34.240
asrock and MSI are the only ones that have actually implemented the the patch

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

00:59:36.720 --> 00:59:42.880
it's hard for me to verify something like that all right

00:59:39.839 --> 00:59:46.200
let's turn this puppy around

00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:46.200
there we go

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

00:59:54.720 --> 00:59:59.440
that is the mark of an inexperienced builder doing cable management at the

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

01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.359
difficult

01:00:08.160 --> 01:00:13.040
ah these new power supplies with their newfangled i shouldn't even say new

01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:18.480
actually some companies have been doing this for a very long time their newfangled uh

01:00:16.319 --> 01:00:24.480
capacitors all over the 24 pin connector makes them quite a bit

01:00:21.680 --> 01:00:28.720
bulkier to deal with but the folks at Corsair and i think i can't

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

01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:37.040
i can't remember who did it first but apparently it helps with ripple

01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:43.839
suppression or something or something which i'm sure matters to some extreme overclockers

01:00:40.319 --> 01:00:43.839
somewhere in scandinavia

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

01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:54.559
the old days where like there were good power supplies and then

01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:57.839
there were power supplies where basically you plugged them in and hoped

01:00:56.319 --> 01:01:02.240
for the best like most anything from a fairly reputable

01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:06.319
brand is is fairly good these days

01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:09.839
um not really that worrying

01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:13.440
where is the eight pin connector on this motherboard

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

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

01:01:21.040 --> 01:01:25.680
um you know does it have modular cables

01:01:24.319 --> 01:01:30.240
um yeah because unless you're really pushing the

01:01:28.799 --> 01:01:33.760
limits which if you're honest with yourself you're not

01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:38.880
because unless you're using liquid nitrogen to overclock you're really not pushing the limits

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

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:45.119
something that's fairly decent like i'm not telling everyone to run out and buy

01:01:43.520 --> 01:01:49.839
the cheapest power supply that they can find on newegg.com that is still

01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:53.280
probably going to explode and kill things spectacularly at some point in

01:01:51.359 --> 01:01:57.839
the future i just mean that whole thing where everyone was

01:01:55.040 --> 01:02:03.359
buying you know hx1000 you know 1000 watt top of the line power supplies

01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:07.200
um i really don't think is that important

01:02:04.839 --> 01:02:10.480
anymore okay eight pin connector done i'm sorry i'm

01:02:08.799 --> 01:02:14.240
just going to adjust the positioning of this so you guys can see

01:02:11.920 --> 01:02:17.920
a little bit better this is my favorite way to deal with

01:02:15.680 --> 01:02:21.359
these fans these days oh shoot i think i plugged into the

01:02:19.200 --> 01:02:25.440
wrong CPU fan header boop

01:02:22.799 --> 01:02:25.440
no big deal

01:02:26.720 --> 01:02:35.839
all right where is my screwdriver in my back

01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:35.839
pocket where it always is

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

01:02:41.839 --> 01:02:46.960
i'm going to do it my less favorite way

01:02:45.040 --> 01:02:50.000
so this is one of my other tricks though you take the fan

01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:54.319
connector you run it around the outside of the fan itself and then if you can

01:02:52.799 --> 01:02:58.559
you find a fan header that it just barely reaches and

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

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

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

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

01:03:13.200 --> 01:03:18.240
doesn't go anywhere and it looks really really clean without

01:03:17.039 --> 01:03:22.880
actually doing like our custom length

01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:26.079
fan cable or anything like that like all the kids are into these days

01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:30.400
i'm actually very i'm getting to the point where i'm

01:03:27.520 --> 01:03:34.400
getting very old school and the way i build computers another reason why i

01:03:32.160 --> 01:03:38.000
feel like i should leave the guides to the people who are really more into it

01:03:36.640 --> 01:03:43.119
these days the guys that are like yeah custom

01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:45.920
length cables for this and hard pipe

01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:50.480
cooling for that and i'm just like that sounds like a lot of work

01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:52.960
you know because i'm old all right

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

01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:07.119
not going to mount the SSD behind the motherboard tray because that way i can win

01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:12.240
i can uh i can have taken out the right

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

01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:17.280
going to do that

01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:25.119
uh yeah i am actually planning to up this upload this video to the to the

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

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

01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:37.440
formats on the uh on the channel so i just thought yeah

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

01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:46.319
release for tonight like it's going to be this and something else

01:04:44.240 --> 01:04:49.440
but yeah yeah we are we are going to do that

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

01:04:52.160 --> 01:04:59.520
streaming it on twitch so there is the uh there is the vod for that

01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:03.359
speaking of streaming on twitch we've got a really really cool video coming on

01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:09.440
vessel tonight it's um i create like like a diy

01:05:07.680 --> 01:05:13.920
news reporter like mobile streaming backpack thing and

01:05:12.160 --> 01:05:17.440
we go out and test it out it's actually pretty freaking cool

01:05:15.680 --> 01:05:20.240
so you guys can check that out if you're into that sort of thing

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

01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:30.880
a ton of practical application but uh

01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:37.039
it's mostly just like hey here's a really cool idea we had and

01:05:33.839 --> 01:05:39.280
here goes

01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:42.720
all right three four is that a six g i don't know whatever

01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:47.359
let's do i don't know that one okay

01:05:45.359 --> 01:05:50.240
let's run these puppies through here this is one of the things i really like

01:05:48.720 --> 01:05:54.400
about this case is that the motherboard tray is actually stamped in so the

01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:57.119
motherboard sits a little bit further back

01:05:55.440 --> 01:06:01.440
than the cable management holes for your SATA cables right next to it that means

01:05:59.200 --> 01:06:05.039
that when they run in there's really no no strain or tension on them

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

01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:13.440
have behind the motherboard tray but i think it's a worthwhile trade-off

01:06:16.240 --> 01:06:23.839
all right let's run our pci express connectors

01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:23.839
what's up brandon

01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:34.160
oh i can't believe it's almost six i am so thirsty right now

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

01:06:40.160 --> 01:06:47.599
i'm totally having more milkshake oh it's completely liquid

01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:52.240
okay no wendy's chocolate frosty that is

01:06:49.839 --> 01:06:57.680
completely melted is a really really bad idea

01:06:54.160 --> 01:06:57.680
i will regret that for sure

01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:02.799
more than i already regret it i feel fat just drinking it

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

01:07:11.680 --> 01:07:16.640
i feel like if i ate junk like that all

01:07:14.799 --> 01:07:20.319
the time i would get fat very very quickly

01:07:18.720 --> 01:07:24.480
okay that's the thing you get older your metabolism just kind of runs away from

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

01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:33.599
sure i'm not the only one telling this sad story but

01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:39.200
really like it it used to be fine no matter what i did

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

01:07:41.520 --> 01:07:48.480
pound of junk food and i just gained one pound

01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:48.480
it's amazing how that math works

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

01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:56.440
does

01:07:59.039 --> 01:08:06.240
okay this 24 pin cable management is going to be a little bit tricky actually

01:08:03.520 --> 01:08:12.799
there's really not a lot of space behind the motherboard tray on this case

01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:17.039
there's really not a lot of space behind the motherboard tray on this case

01:08:21.759 --> 01:08:27.600
okay front usb 2

01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:30.480
front usb 2 what you gonna do

01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:40.560
watch out i gotta take a poop

01:08:42.159 --> 01:08:48.480
but don't worry you don't have to watch i won't make you

01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:56.159
what do you think brandon should i quit my day job and become a rapper

01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:56.159
you'll be my producer

01:08:57.279 --> 01:09:00.960
what do you know about audio producing

01:09:05.120 --> 01:09:07.839
god i hate you brandon

01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:15.759
you crush all my dreams that's what rap taught me

01:09:16.080 --> 01:09:21.000
that's what rap taught me chase your dreams

01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:28.520
if incredibly talented people like jay-z can do it then surely i can

01:09:39.839 --> 01:09:44.799
yeah see people are finally witnessing the kind of crap that i take around here

01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:50.400
everyone hears what i dish out because i'm the like the on-camera personality

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

01:09:53.679 --> 01:09:56.400
out around here

01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:03.600
that's weird um

01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:08.960
okay brandon the battery died

01:10:07.600 --> 01:10:13.600
can i have a new can i have a new battery please

01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:17.199
ah the uh the top one the other one's running off ac

01:10:15.440 --> 01:10:20.800
maybe if you didn't break all our ac adapters we wouldn't have this problem

01:10:23.679 --> 01:10:31.400
well it's taking longer than i said you should have known that was going to

01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:31.400
happen mr producer

01:10:32.640 --> 01:10:38.239
mr smart guy who claims to know anything about

01:10:35.679 --> 01:10:38.239
producing

01:10:41.040 --> 01:10:46.159
i would never hire someone so unproductive to be a producer

01:10:44.400 --> 01:10:51.040
wow it's funny because brandon actually had

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

01:10:54.000 --> 01:11:02.400
lights mounted in our ceiling lighting grid thing uh it actually looks freaking

01:10:59.360 --> 01:11:02.400
ba so

01:11:04.719 --> 01:11:09.679
i can get out of the way if you'd like

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

01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:15.360
then there you go

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

01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:28.000
to an actual release video

01:11:26.400 --> 01:11:31.440
it's kind of cool i'm liking the vibe actually i'm liking the uh

01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:36.640
discussion with the twitch chat i can't believe there's 4 500 people watching

01:11:34.719 --> 01:11:40.400
on like an off time we've actually tried streaming not at our our scheduled time

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

01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:49.920
a ton of viewers when it's not our normal same bat time same channel nonsense

01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:55.199
thank you brandon

01:11:54.239 --> 01:11:58.560
you are a valuable and appreciated member of

01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:03.840
this team yes have you seen penguin madagascar no okay

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

01:12:06.400 --> 01:12:09.840
handicapped one wow

01:12:14.480 --> 01:12:20.640
i don't actually know if that's the politically correct term for

01:12:18.480 --> 01:12:25.719
private i'm usually not that up on my

01:12:22.159 --> 01:12:25.719
politically correctness

01:12:36.719 --> 01:12:42.400
power led does this case have a reset switch i

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

01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:49.840
those little things that um that ASUS includes

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

01:12:52.400 --> 01:12:58.719
never recommend it the reason is that it's um

01:12:56.800 --> 01:13:02.560
it can interfere with long expansion cards sometimes you're much better off

01:13:00.080 --> 01:13:06.800
to just do it right the first time install it correctly john john here is a

01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:10.400
big fan of them but both luke and i are like no

01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:13.360
you should not use those but he doesn't listen he just uses them

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

01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:21.840
yeah we're back baby okay

01:13:23.679 --> 01:13:29.199
we're actually getting surprisingly close

01:13:26.800 --> 01:13:31.600
drives drives that's the home stretch right brandon drives are the home

01:13:30.480 --> 01:13:35.760
stretch always the home stretch

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

01:13:38.480 --> 01:13:43.760
i yes we have

01:13:41.679 --> 01:13:48.080
drives are the home stretch gpus are like

01:13:45.679 --> 01:13:51.440
you can you can smell it you can smell it it's almost over

01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:56.159
and then the conclusion is just the conclusion it gets harder again because

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

01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:05.600
over guys we have been at the office filming

01:14:03.040 --> 01:14:09.679
to like we hours of the morning doing those build guides

01:14:07.199 --> 01:14:15.120
i'm sorry 5am for your video i didn't even know

01:14:12.480 --> 01:14:18.080
that for the a7s2 do you even want to do more camera

01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:23.679
reviews okay okay

01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:23.679
i'm down man

01:14:26.480 --> 01:14:33.199
what's your next one going to be oh ursa mini that's right

01:14:31.280 --> 01:14:35.600
what else do you have on kind of on your radar

01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:45.840
oh yeah that'll be cool okay cool

01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:50.560
yeah brandon wants to uh wants to go all

01:14:47.760 --> 01:14:54.320
like kind of scrapyard wars on like camera camera stuff

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

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

01:14:59.440 --> 01:15:04.480
stuff and even if you're not come on watch it

01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:06.960
it's brandon he's nice we like him for some reason

01:15:09.120 --> 01:15:14.400
killing your china balls which is less racist than it sounds by

01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:19.199
the way it's much less racist can you show them

01:15:16.480 --> 01:15:19.199
your china balls

01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:28.480
thank you see it's on the other ankle

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

01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:32.400
all good

01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:44.880
no seriously china balls are a thing this is not this is not sexual

01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:44.880
harassment and it is not racism

01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:52.360
jeez i can't catch a break here

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

01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:03.040
upfront about it besides i really don't think too many

01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:07.239
people are going to accuse me of being racist against chinese people

01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:17.440
nope i just dislike them all individually

01:16:18.159 --> 01:16:24.480
just kidding for those of you who don't know my wife is chinese just throwing

01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:24.480
that out there

01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:28.880
i am not a racist person

01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:32.480
ah this is cool though check this

01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:39.920
out so fractal actually has a really smart hard drive sled design you can

01:16:38.080 --> 01:16:43.040
mount the rubber things more towards the front or more towards the back depending

01:16:41.360 --> 01:16:46.159
on whether you want like a nicer aesthetic or you want more cable

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

01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:54.400
affects the aesthetic you can't really see it through the window and i also

01:16:55.600 --> 01:17:02.320
there we go and i also really find that defining various cases need all the

01:16:59.920 --> 01:17:05.440
cable management they can get oops i actually did that wrong

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

01:17:10.239 --> 01:17:15.600
wrong story of my freaking life

01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:19.679
like our storage server

01:17:17.679 --> 01:17:22.400
so busy showing you guys how to do it that i rush

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

01:17:24.560 --> 01:17:30.000
know the right way to do it i was just in a hurry

01:17:27.920 --> 01:17:33.199
and i've got a lot of video projects that are relying on

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

01:17:34.880 --> 01:17:44.920
going to take a shortcut and the shortcut was bad the shortcut led down

01:17:40.080 --> 01:17:44.920
disaster junction can i help you

01:17:49.040 --> 01:17:56.400
okay please don't drop that

01:17:53.199 --> 01:17:58.080
on yourself or anyone else

01:17:56.400 --> 01:18:00.880
he's holding this ginormous ladder i swear when brandon first joined the

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

01:18:05.520 --> 01:18:11.199
son of a um like we couldn't trust him to tie his

01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:15.760
shoes in the morning the guy was tripping all over everything

01:18:14.719 --> 01:18:21.280
like oh man it was it was terrible but he's

01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:25.199
been he's been with us so long in our messy environment because brendan's kind

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

01:18:27.440 --> 01:18:33.120
like i've been to his house he's actually a pretty like tidy person but

01:18:31.440 --> 01:18:37.120
it's just that especially at the old office there

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

01:18:40.400 --> 01:18:46.400
to the mess the analogy that i like to use is kind

01:18:44.080 --> 01:18:50.000
of like those puzzles where there's one empty square and you have to

01:18:48.320 --> 01:18:53.520
rearrange all the other squares to make a full picture the problem is that at

01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:56.800
the old office there was no empty square there was no way to rearrange anything

01:18:55.760 --> 01:19:00.239
so so brandon had to learn like the rest of us

01:18:59.280 --> 01:19:06.480
to just catch himself when he tripped because the tripping was inevitable

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

01:19:08.320 --> 01:19:13.040
to navigate all of the uh like all of my

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

01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:21.950
area of the office so he's like the master of uh the master

01:19:20.159 --> 01:19:23.679
of not tripping anymore

01:19:23.679 --> 01:19:29.920
but man brandon you were scary in the early days

01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:34.320
i always thought you were gonna die or destroy all my expensive stuff

01:19:32.320 --> 01:19:37.800
or do both of them at the same time the ultimate insult

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

01:19:42.719 --> 01:19:49.040
plugged in um hey why don't we plug in some video

01:19:46.480 --> 01:19:54.480
cards so oh man this is this is like this is killing me inside

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

01:19:56.239 --> 01:20:01.199
unfortunately i mean it doesn't matter what they exchange it for as long as

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

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

01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:18.640
like lg's procurement the thing is like the cards are called the same thing

01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:19.760
they're both called evga superclocked

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

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

01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:33.120
exhaust it i know that exhausting your GPU heat through your

01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:37.040
power supply is not really in the in the book of

01:20:34.159 --> 01:20:40.480
best practices for a wicked awesome wicked awesome computer machine build

01:20:39.280 --> 01:20:45.120
thing but uh yeah

01:20:43.120 --> 01:20:50.239
it does work um especially if you've got a really

01:20:47.360 --> 01:20:52.640
high quality power supply it's probably fine

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

01:20:57.520 --> 01:21:01.840
do my graphics card screws here there we go

01:21:08.400 --> 01:21:15.840
got people asking me to do a test boot

01:21:11.679 --> 01:21:15.840
ah yeah if i was smart i'd do that

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

01:21:22.159 --> 01:21:28.560
that this is gonna boot because i haven't uh i haven't checked this

01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:32.080
motherboard with um i haven't checked the

01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:35.840
compatibility matrix for xeons or for this RAM

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

01:21:41.679 --> 01:21:48.400
i might just get luke to lend me a monitor very temporarily

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

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

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

01:21:57.199 --> 01:21:59.600
it for me

01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:05.600
because i do have at least something that'll work here in the studio for sure

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

01:22:10.639 --> 01:22:16.560
okay ah

01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:20.480
these six plus two connectors i do appreciate them i like

01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:25.520
them it was really annoying before everyone started putting these on video

01:22:22.320 --> 01:22:27.760
cards but man it's hard to get the two

01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:32.719
lined up sometimes especially when you're trying to

01:22:29.760 --> 01:22:36.639
bend the cable into something so i saw force force awakens which is

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

01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:48.000
yours um oh oh oh crap i got a message from a

01:22:45.760 --> 01:22:51.520
twitch mod uh can i move you too creative uh sure

01:22:50.080 --> 01:22:54.719
thanks bro i i wasn't really sure what i was

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

01:22:57.600 --> 01:23:01.920
just like ah someone else will let me know if i'm

01:23:00.719 --> 01:23:04.800
doing it wrong and sure enough

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

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

01:23:13.199 --> 01:23:18.639
cool all right

01:23:16.400 --> 01:23:23.040
so the last thing to set up here is the nzxt

01:23:21.040 --> 01:23:27.760
you oh i just crushed a box sorry rylan

01:23:28.080 --> 01:23:33.520
oh boy i have no idea how this works

01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:38.239
there's a lot of cables though so first is power i know we need that

01:23:36.719 --> 01:23:43.360
okay so here's a molex connector

01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:46.159
to my little just

01:23:44.320 --> 01:23:49.280
dc plug i really wonder why they don't just have

01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:52.960
a native molex plug on this thing that's really weird

01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:56.880
probably they're repurposing something else that was intended for like another

01:23:54.800 --> 01:24:02.719
industry and then they're just nzxt'ing computering it up so

01:23:59.679 --> 01:24:06.080
that would probably be why

01:24:02.719 --> 01:24:09.440
yeah yeah pretty much hey

01:24:06.080 --> 01:24:09.440
until it gets mainstream enough

01:24:11.440 --> 01:24:14.440
usb

01:24:17.040 --> 01:24:22.480
okay oh i think i found a place to stash it

01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:26.560
under this hard drive um wow it's gonna be really hard to fit

01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:33.920
it down there though get in there oh yes very nice he's nice

01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:35.440
i like it okay so i'm gonna stash the

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

01:24:39.679 --> 01:24:42.239
um

01:24:43.199 --> 01:24:52.400
everyone's like luke use the force star wars star wars mania is uh

01:24:48.400 --> 01:24:54.560
is is strong with this one

01:24:52.400 --> 01:24:59.600
okay oh sick

01:24:57.600 --> 01:25:04.880
some of them some of them all of them

01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:09.600
some of these strips are magnetic oh i love it are they all magnetic this

01:25:07.199 --> 01:25:15.360
one doesn't seem very magnetic they're all magnetic sick

01:25:12.719 --> 01:25:18.480
you're magnetic i think so

01:25:16.639 --> 01:25:22.239
personal magnetism that's the only context i can think of

01:25:20.080 --> 01:25:28.960
for it i'm leaving don't forget to do the thing

01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:28.960
right the thing

01:25:29.040 --> 01:25:34.159
it's with like the butt right

01:25:32.159 --> 01:25:38.159
i said that that's with the butt yeah okay cool

01:25:35.440 --> 01:25:38.159
just making sure

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:45.360
oh it has been a long long month but

01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:49.120
if i get the thing done before work tomorrow

01:25:46.480 --> 01:25:52.480
then um that'll be

01:25:50.320 --> 01:25:55.600
good yeah people are like loop change shirts

01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:59.760
do you guys really think we wear our Linus tech tip shirts all the time like

01:25:57.440 --> 01:26:03.280
for realsies okay i do but other people aren't required to

01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:09.040
i even offered them to them for free very few people have actually taken me

01:26:07.920 --> 01:26:15.679
up on them apparently apparently they don't want to rep

01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:15.679
LTT on their own time i see how it is

01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:22.320
i know you don't have any LTT shirts brandon

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

01:26:24.719 --> 01:26:27.760
you how come you have one of those

01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:30.639
oh okay

01:26:31.360 --> 01:26:33.679
nice

01:26:34.719 --> 01:26:41.120
it's funny because we have kind of a g-rated channel so like

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

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

01:26:47.360 --> 01:26:51.480
say on this show

01:26:54.239 --> 01:27:00.000
yeah cats well that's that in the context of the shirt it's very clear

01:26:57.280 --> 01:27:00.000
that it's a cat

01:27:00.719 --> 01:27:06.800
oh dang it i gotta plug in a usb header here

01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:10.880
it'd be cool if i had a third camera angle that's like um

01:27:08.880 --> 01:27:13.040
like a headlight headlamp view kind of thing

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

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

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

01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:38.639
right angle connector or something i justify it to myself that they're not

01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:38.639
all the same like that

01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:44.800
this is something that drives me crazy about other power supplies actually this

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

01:27:48.639 --> 01:27:55.040
mostly have the um the SATA cables set up

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

01:27:57.120 --> 01:28:02.080
easily so they're all like left angle instead

01:28:00.320 --> 01:28:06.080
of right angle whereas most power supplies are in the basement of the

01:28:03.520 --> 01:28:10.800
cases these days so having them come up this way actually makes more sense so

01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:14.960
here we're going one two three and we're good just like that

01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:19.600
then let's plug in our two SATA cables for those hard drives

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

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

01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:31.920
now that we've been doing all that naz stuff with uh with unraid

01:28:30.320 --> 01:28:35.679
showing how you can actually use your gaming tower as a nas that one's coming

01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:39.679
to youtube fairly soon all right so that's done

01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:46.400
oh dang it i dropped all the stuff

01:28:43.440 --> 01:28:46.400
switch angles here

01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:50.400
uh did i switch angles yes i did

01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:59.120
okay so we got to figure out how we want to

01:28:56.560 --> 01:29:03.199
do all of our lighting effects so this baby

01:29:01.040 --> 01:29:06.560
can go up here and plug into

01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:10.040
one of these little extension you do that finish this

01:29:11.520 --> 01:29:16.960
and we're back i think

01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:25.840
okay brandon repeat after me i step where you step

01:29:22.639 --> 01:29:25.840
i touch nothing

01:29:26.480 --> 01:29:31.360
what i did

01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:36.159
well all we know was brandon was moving a ladder over near the streaming do you

01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:41.199
see anything uh-huh and then the machine shut down

01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:46.000
spectacularly shut down like zero warning

01:29:43.440 --> 01:29:48.239
completely locked up shut down so

01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:58.719
it's okay though i forgive you

01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:58.719
um oh crap how does this work

01:30:01.280 --> 01:30:08.800
yeah that's probably it okay i might actually have to check the

01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:13.600
manual for this uh for this fractal fractal or this nzxt hue do dad

01:30:14.080 --> 01:30:19.760
plus five volts something something grounding etc okay i'm gonna have to

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

01:30:22.400 --> 01:30:29.600
off camera but actually i was fixing the damn stream computer

01:30:27.920 --> 01:30:32.800
yeah i'm getting a lot of hashtag fire brandon

01:30:31.360 --> 01:30:36.639
so they've turned on you brandon it's official

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

01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:45.440
camera things but as soon as you break the stream

01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:45.440
they turn on you

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

01:30:53.520 --> 01:31:00.480
oh it actually doesn't seem to say does it

01:30:58.080 --> 01:31:04.000
okay plug a thing in there plug another thing in there yeah yeah yeah

01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:06.400
huh okay

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

01:31:14.400 --> 01:31:20.239
the like very obvious and easy to find

01:31:17.440 --> 01:31:26.320
quick guide part of it but it's not black line on the led strips

01:31:23.440 --> 01:31:32.800
look at that i had it right anyway so there's a first time for everything

01:31:30.639 --> 01:31:37.120
i got something right without having to do it a few times

01:31:35.679 --> 01:31:41.679
oh i guess i don't really need this extension here

01:31:39.360 --> 01:31:41.679
okay

01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:48.000
the sucky thing about having the stream

01:31:46.320 --> 01:31:54.320
cut out in the middle is that i will have to cut together

01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:59.920
the video now which is very unfortunate it makes it a lot more work

01:31:57.440 --> 01:32:03.679
but that's okay because brandon makes up for it with his good looks and charm

01:32:04.159 --> 01:32:10.400
well i know it wasn't my fault and i know you were moving ladders

01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:10.400
around

01:32:11.679 --> 01:32:16.880
so i think the point of the magnets isn't necessarily to work on their own

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

01:32:19.840 --> 01:32:26.480
the included adhesive jug so the magnets can kind of hold the

01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:29.920
adhesive in place something that is more needed than you might think if

01:32:28.159 --> 01:32:36.159
you've ever mounted an led strip you probably know for the most part they do

01:32:32.239 --> 01:32:37.600
not mount very reliably

01:32:36.159 --> 01:32:42.719
all right so let's grab another one here i really like this system with the

01:32:39.520 --> 01:32:44.639
little extensions and the little uh

01:32:42.719 --> 01:32:48.960
you know whatever else it is that we got going on

01:32:46.080 --> 01:32:54.000
huh it goes in this end i like this

01:32:50.719 --> 01:32:57.120
so now i'm gonna do one on the top

01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:57.120
going to go ahead i'm going to

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

01:33:03.040 --> 01:33:08.080
we want oh wait a minute

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

01:33:09.840 --> 01:33:15.120
actually ever got the strip that lg

01:33:13.920 --> 01:33:18.719
ordered or if this is just one that nzxt sent to

01:33:17.600 --> 01:33:24.480
me it doesn't really matter

01:33:21.199 --> 01:33:24.480
i don't actually care

01:33:25.120 --> 01:33:29.199
i'll just get nzxt to send another one

01:33:29.280 --> 01:33:35.360
yep that'll do okay

01:33:33.360 --> 01:33:41.040
so i'm actually really uncertain about this

01:33:37.679 --> 01:33:42.800
last run here i think we might kind of

01:33:41.040 --> 01:33:47.120
think we might kind of end up overdoing it if we're not careful

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

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

01:33:53.440 --> 01:33:59.440
holds together for me here there we go

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

01:34:00.719 --> 01:34:05.920
use one more extension and then bring that around to the oh

01:34:04.320 --> 01:34:10.000
they've got really short ones oh shoot i should have used one of those there

01:34:07.679 --> 01:34:13.040
that's okay i'll send all the extra bits to ryland

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

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

01:34:25.520 --> 01:34:31.560
who believe in me who believe in me for some reason

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

01:34:36.560 --> 01:34:41.360
successfully but you believe anyway i admire that

01:34:43.360 --> 01:34:47.320
see them i admire brandon

01:34:55.040 --> 01:34:58.960
it's okay i know you didn't mean to ruin the evening

01:34:59.199 --> 01:35:01.840
sorry

01:35:09.040 --> 01:35:15.360
okay there we go all the led strips are

01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:19.440
in cool i'm liking this rig so far actually

01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:22.880
all right what's left

01:35:23.040 --> 01:35:28.080
what is left is that it oh sli bridge

01:35:26.480 --> 01:35:30.960
never want to forget the sli bridge that's always uh that's always annoying

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

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

01:35:39.440 --> 01:35:44.800
actually a way to do it but i'm going to do it like this

01:35:45.679 --> 01:35:52.400
all right i sure wish ASUS included black sli

01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:56.880
bridges those just look awful this like orange sli bridge i don't know

01:35:54.480 --> 01:36:01.280
what the deal is with that okay

01:35:59.600 --> 01:36:06.800
not too shabby actually

01:36:03.679 --> 01:36:08.960
a zip tie here a zip tie there and this

01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:15.199
is uh this is some primo grade stuff right here oh there you go guys

01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:20.480
looks a little something like that and i think that pretty much concludes

01:36:17.600 --> 01:36:23.520
our first ever live

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

01:36:25.760 --> 01:36:30.880
know and if you're watching this on youtube which it will be uploaded to

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

01:36:32.960 --> 01:36:38.320
to see us do you know completely different things that are not like this

01:36:36.719 --> 01:36:41.199
leave your suggestions we're always open to them but we're not always open to

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

01:36:42.880 --> 01:36:48.400
ignore them that's not what we do all right see you guys later

01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:55.600
it's always awkward doing outros on live broadcast stuff

01:36:53.119 --> 01:36:58.639
because like yeah

01:36:56.639 --> 01:37:01.679
and we're done oh crap i
