oh who cares what it's gonna support stop taking shortcuts i'm not taking
shortcuts you're taking shorts i'm not taking shortcuts
um man where's it's like why does that guy live in the
middle of nowhere like this it's ridiculous
Colton hello
hey there it is we found it
these country bumpkins they don't even lock their doors you're late it's uh
this is a this is a great door you've got here Colton he wanted me to mention
that a thousand dollar door no wonder his streaming setup sucks fortunately we
are here to fix it courtesy of Intel
it's extreme tech rig upgrade whatever we call this thing time and we had a 5
000 us dollar budget to turn Colton's
very mediocre gaming and streaming setup into an absolute
masterpiece i'm pretty jazzed let's do it
david is our camera guy
he's so nice i don't know what i'm doing why don't you start by walking us
through the plan yeah so first order of business is this is
actually steph's desk and we're going to steal it we're going to take it because
it's way bigger than the desk i have now okay i need i need more room for the
games now i couldn't help noticing that your desk has got a bit of a smile
it's got a bit of a smile yes um happy desk i accidentally threw away the extra
ikea desk like please don't do that
i threw away the extra leg uh we were gonna put another leg on the bottom of
the back yeah i actually didn't get that so we're just gonna have to yolo it that
and one small challenge today we have only four hours to complete this project
because Colton went and booked a piano tuner
to come in on the day of our shoot dude i booked it like a month and a half ago
the guy doesn't even respond to emails oh
wow i don't know it sounds pretty tuned to me yeah it's only just it's mainly
the d i've actually been here before so i
guess we'll head to the computer you guys have moved everything around you got your tv over here now and uh you
still got your drinking problem i still i don't barely even drink that's why
there's something what are you talking about there's nothing but like booze everywhere check this so the kitchen you
got all your wine over there you got your wino supplies i mean what is this
i don't i barely drink it all and then well you're gaming you got yours
coca-cola drink the coke zero
but you can't show these things stop dude i can see why you're uh trading out
your desk yeah i am actually is this even
no it's not attached to anything oh yeah my monitor actually show the monitor
this is fantastic the monitor's broken i've been living with this for the last
year and a half okay so then what i got to do is i got to leave something moving
on the screen and i gotta leave it for about half an hour and then randomly it'll just go
it's totally fine okay it sucks walk me through the plan
i love this chair by the way this is this is cool oh man you guys if you
haven't seen the ShortCircuit that we did on this you should go check it out
so what we're actually doing is we're getting rid of this and we're grabbing steph's desk that we
were just looking at we're gonna put it here get rid of this tv tv never use the tv
well i heard emerson makes really good tv i bought this ten years ago it's
fantastic moving this stuff over and then
that's essentially it the cougar gaming chair is gonna go over here i'm gonna
get rid of this chair hopefully the one that i got it's an ergo chair hopefully it's a little bit smaller
and then yeah hopefully the room will just feel a little bit more open i'll
have more dust space we're upgrading the rig as well yes now do you have any
streaming specific upgrades so the first streaming upgrade that we're doing is
i'm swapping out the logitech c922 for an actual like dslr camera because why
the heck not so i've got the sony a5100
i believe we've got another elgato we've got the elgato ring light as well and
then i think i'm keeping my audio set up the same
and yeah it's mainly just the computer we're really beefing up the computer and
we're definitely changing the monitor so we're going 1440p two samsung g7s um
it's gonna be pretty crazy so that'll be good to get rid of this mess and then
the other problem that i was having with the rig itself is i had a 1080 ti
and i don't know what was wrong with it but it kept crashing i got i had to get
rid of it so i haven't been on the game for like a month so it's actually like perfect timing oh great so we got a
3080. is this a uh is this like a family
journal of yours harry potter oh because my last name is potter that's funny that
hasn't been done before wow as for the rig this is pretty exciting
Colton is the first one so far to just kind of go
ah you know what i don't need no insignia
emerson tv upgrade or anything like that i just want the sickest gaming rig
because that is exactly what we're building today we're going rtx 3080
we're going core i9 10 900 k
we are going sub ambient cooling
assuming that it's actually in here did you should we put it in here yeah it
feels pretty light are you sure we'll see how this goes oh wait no it is in
here okay good we're going sub ambient cooling like this is going to be pretty
much as fast as it gets yay no offense but while i get the computer going okay
maybe you leave go do something else
what well anything you could move a desk
that seems like sort of a cult he doesn't trust me cass you don't trust me
that he could do all right fine well i i can help with that do you need help is
it too heavy one problem we're gonna have Colton is that if you're not honest
with me i can't help you with the home rig upgrade what do you mean what you
told me that you lost the extra leg oh wait what what the legs right there what
stephanie we've had the desk for a while and so it bows a little so when i
finally got around to like putting the extra leg there yeah it lifts the four
other legs and kind of levitates them off the ground i saw the right leg like
a wobbling situation this video is already ridiculous hold it hold hold oh
my god you're gonna break it you need different socks take your socks
off so is your monitor working look at this fix itself told you it's been about
half an hour there's a lot of dog hair yeah the dog was sleeping in here until
yesterday so the dog shed all this hair between yesterday and actually no no i i
just didn't clean it properly is this the stock mount for this monitor
yeah isn't it terrible what even is this i know it sucks that
monitor is gonna go or are you gonna have like a third monitor no this
monitor is gonna go i bought this monitor nine years ago from best buy for
a hundred dollars and it served me well see you later you did an extremely poor
job of painting look at this you can see right through to the previous color they
call me the one coat wizard it's like an inch off the baseboard oh my god and the
paint job is even worse around the top of the room it like honestly looks like
you were drunk stop grabbing all this it's gross i
don't even mind oh whatever i got pets too here i'll just i'll shake
it out you got to vacuum the air Colton
ah it's everywhere
this is a really nice floor though oh my god can you just lift
it's heavy though right that's why we're lifting it so we don't destroy the flow
it's not that heavy at all it's fine so we got a what what do you do let's have
a look here we got some batteries what are you doing got a hard drive that's my
old for my old computer power bank how do i get stuff off look at this look at
this accepting bribes from Corsair free power banks wow you got like an SSD in
here and everything got your kingston bribes bro they're not bribes i bought them
wait a minute you got to be kidding me are you a twilight fan sir no
well you've even got the couldn't wait for the paperback release
oh oh i got this you okay nice no no i'm
good i'm good it's all good do you need a drill
oh god oh god no oh my god is this going to have to just
stay here it is stripped as hell
it'll work eventually
all right go ahead and pull it off the wall oh my god look what you did
my paint my beautiful paint
i'll hang a picture there it'll be fine long boy coming through hold on give me
a little bit of time give me a date hold on i don't want to go you got very
expensive door frames i don't want to break them no no not those doors just the front door so where do you want it
you want it that's exactly yeah yeah okay uh it's pretty close yup yup and
then passed it
stephanie i'm sorry your bridal shower now it's time for us
to build a flippin computer here dude look at this board great value z490 pro
ax from eorus we actually used this for
uh i think it was the couple's pc it's got basically everything you need got your
m.2 got your wireless got your all that
good stuff and doesn't cost an ARM and a leg honestly
the top of the line rigs are some of the least interesting to go through the part
selection process for it's like why'd you choose 10 900k sir uh because i had
like you know an unlimited budget so i just got like the fastest gaming CPU yo dude
i got to be able to stream game multiple games email million chrome tabs
everything oh yeah how much RAM did you get i don't know about that chrome i got
32 gigs for storage with an Intel one terabyte
660p SSD that's our boot SSD we're gonna install that puppy
right there can i actually take a moment to appreciate Gigabyte for
pre-installing all these screws in here instead of just having them in a little
non-resealable baggie in the stupid motherboard box we've got 32 gigs of
Corsair 3200 megahertz clc good bang for the buck we run like six
chrome tabs on that puppy one
and two you are rammed up now sir sweet
i'm ready i can feel it oh yeah we're coming home with the case i'm going back
to nzxt i was with Corsair for a little bit going back to nzxt and then i went
to Corsair and it was great i probably didn't even need a new case but here we
are we got a problem no i think we do have a problem i think i can see it
what's up this is a triple radiator and this is a this is a pretty it's nice
you know it's nice yeah but it's a mid-tower case yeah
um and that's a problem oh shoot this
computer too is only dual 120 mil we
could just reuse this cooler i guess oh that's a bummer you're not even gonna
have the cryo cooling anymore yeah that does suck that's an oversight on my part
i didn't uh oh no yeah so i think i figured out what
was wrong with your old computer it was just never you had no cooling my
man like were the fans never plugged in properly yeah they're working oh this
just happened yeah oh yeah you gotta like clean your computer
look at this it's like oh that's really bad it's actually thick my thermals
weren't bad your thermals were bad drop it
drop it my thermals were bad apparently i'm so sorry sit
thing is you're not supposed to have your pump at the top of your loop air bubbles blah blah blah
shorter life span problem is in this particular case
i really don't think there's anything i can do about it if i mount it tubes down
then you're gonna have bigger problems like that i have to put the fans on this side
in order to get it close enough and you're gonna have that dust build up again which realistically i don't think
you're gonna clean so wow i am going to
just say yeah let's do it yolo
right right sorry everyone sorry steve
sorry steve i let you down all right so while Linus is building the
computer i'm actually going to try and be helpful and build this chair my nice
amazon ergo chair amazon basics every amazon basics thing i bought is exactly
what it's supposed to be it's like yeah it's basic but it's gonna
work and you're probably happy to spend an ARM
and a leg for it i'm honestly not a huge fan of your case choice here Colton no
a 10 900k and an rtx 3080
and this thing has like no ventilation in it like
you got your solid front panel and then even on this side
look like there's a gap in here for the fans to pull in air but like
from where like that's it that's your whole that's your whole air intake there
like it'd be fine if you were just going like you know rtx 2060 and like a mid-range
CPU or something but well this is a 30 80.
yeah literally top of the line yeah okay
yo i think i'm gonna like this freaking chair my guy i think it's gonna be good
dude here's the deal these two thumb screws
right here yes every like i don't know a few months six months
whatever you pop them off and then you see that yeah you give it a
little like vacuum on the front there oh come okay can you get all that stuff out
of there yep don't vacuum anything else just the radiator here then you just pop
those two screws back on you're clean no offense to cable mod but i'm just going
to take these things off at the angle we're bending this i really don't think they look better i'm also a little
worried about your power supply choice to be honest with you i actually thought
about that afterwards as well 750. like
yeah theoretically a focus 750 is going to do you just fine
but that's theoretically we're talking rtx 3080 yeah 900k here boys i just feel
like this chair's not going to hold up well over time i could be completely
wrong yeah the mesh butt and then it's like if
the mesh fails like you're going your metal butt this is a whole reel of
RGB yeah i'm not putting this in here what if i
told you it goes on the outside okay that's fine though
oh lioness look at that thing it's big
it's a big boy dang she's a thick boy all right look at that
holy shnikees that is
one tight fit boys it is millimeters from
that fan hub i love how unnecessary it is to have two
g7s oh this is like you could just as easily have one g7 and then like
you know something you know something it's not really a problem
but these are european models
so i brought the european to north american adapter home but i don't
remember where i put it so it's gone oh that's not even the thing oh wow
why do you have that i have no idea why i have that what is that it's literally
like this big and it's like white the monitor comes with a [ __ ] adapter
Colton where no that's
okay no that is the one that i brought from work shut up that's where was it
it was in the box yeah i brought that from work that's not with the monitor
i'm prepared she's so full he told sterf when she was looking for it that it was
white this isn't even white i think it goes on a little something like that
okay yeah who needs cooling anyway right i mean it's not the prettiest machine
i've ever built but it's not bad that's not bad it's all about the power
let's put it in there let's see if it uh blows up when we try and power it on
does it go right in the middle of the desk it's gonna go on the floor
yo bro it's gotta go on the floor this is terrible what terrible
yeah it's terrible yeah but i don't have any support well that's why this is here
we're going to put the support
oh my god
once the monitors go on it'll be fine all right let's take a look i'm not
worried about it yeah you're not worried about anything it seems so well yeah it's none of this is my problem
uh
i don't think this is gonna work it'll be fine okay we've got spare wood i'll
cut like shims to go underneath each of those legs done
but it'll never correct yeah then it'll stay saggy
oh who cares what it's going to support stop taking shortcuts i'm not taking
shortcuts you're taking shortcuts i'm not taking shortcuts this is the
long-term better solution
i'm sorry when i get mad i point sometimes camera goes here
modeler monitor camera goes where you just pointed at your monitor camera goes
here right you just pull out your monitor so you're not going to camera goes here
monitor monitor position the monitors how you would do it don't worry
i'll get you a beer
this desk is so precarious i'm so scared
and then if i put everything towards the front more it's like gonna like fall off
i've never been so scared of my life what's the RGB plan here uh i was just
gonna do oh my god
all right there's your RGB sucka do you want to go all the way around no no no
no no no no no no do you want to go down the front here stop why does he want his
camera like way off the side like that is that a thing no it's audience
audience yeah can you just put it here like a side person this side
you're wearing a mask this side yeah you picked the other side
that's why no i like that seconds what it's gonna look up your nose yeah that's
not a good look you know what's funny actually i thought
it was a little bit taller yeah i know you're right i knew that here we go
okay it's actually not posting though
oh hey she just needed to you know hang out for
a second your Ethernet cable's a little long here Colton
thankfully i've got this cable tie
from uh lttstore.com
this is why mice should not have holes in them there we go there
how's that that's much better oh it's gonna move all his dials around
whatever yeah that's what he gets for being a dirty boy dude this is sick i actually
totally didn't realize
yeah you can aim it more okay there you go there's your ring light wow what a
boss oh god
you're right Colton your other side is your good side i'm at the front right now and it would really be better if you
turned around
so we got to see your FPS your frame times that's a lot of FPS holy crap well
you're not loading the screen so holy [ __ ] that might help that's still a lot
of FPS i can see
things i don't even need my glasses thanks Intel thanks everybody else got
the appreciate you guys 230 240 frames per second i'm gonna get the uh let me
get the stream stuff dialed in it's gonna be great dude hit me turn off the
mate turn off the main light i know it's going to look really bad on camera turn
this is way better and the room's a lot more open things are clean and it's
actually it's not even loud it's a toasty boy
so good thing it has this second exhaust fan otherwise we'd be in real trouble
right about now but it's not too shabby wow it would get warm in this freaking
room it doesn't get in here it does like dang
you know you just open up the mini fridge and just just let that's not how that works
so that's it Colton's new setup ladies and gentlemen massive shout out to Intel
for sponsoring this episode of xtreme rig upgrade 2020
and massive shout out to you guys for watching hopefully you get some inspiration for your rig and uh if you
didn't well stay tuned for the next one because it'll be different that's for
sure do we know who's next oh dennis oh
yeah it's definitely going to be different love it
i already know what he's doing it involves a foot massager what
the ultimate comfort setup
