1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600 Okay, we're not actually related, and I'm pretty sure I'm older than him, 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,440 but hanging out with Lucas makes me feel like the little brother, 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,940 and we can't start his AMD $5,000 Ultimate Tech upgrade 4 00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:14,440 until we can find some way to get us both in the freaking shot. 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,720 Maybe this will work. Lucas works hard on power supply testing for the lab. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,320 We can't shoot the whole video like this. Cut. 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,160 We can't make him shorter, so we're gonna have to make me taller. 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,760 These are, wow, these are some incredible crocs. Okay, how's that? 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,600 Ah, that's more like it. 10 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,400 I have never used these before. What could go wrong? 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,720 Okay. Hey, that's better. 12 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,120 Ah, anyway, like I was saying, Lucas works on Power Supply Circuit 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,480 and Power Supply Reviews on LTTLabs.com. I can't believe it's taken so long 14 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,120 for an LTT Labs member to get a $5,000 Ultimate Tech upgrade. 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,440 From our sponsor AMD. But here we are, both high as fuck, 16 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,640 and ready to get to work. Get it? 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,040 It's a high good thing, you know? You're like, not even that much taller. 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,600 Before we get to the upgrade, as is tradition, we've got a... 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,960 All right, I think we're gonna have to lose the stones. DING DONG 20 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:32,960 DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG 21 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,840 DONG DONG DONG DONG 22 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,920 If it's AMD upgrade time, then it must also be AMD Sweepstakes time. 23 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,080 You could win one of three AMD's 5 Upgrade bundles featuring 24 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,640 the fastest gaming CPU on the market, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 25 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,100 along with an ASUS motherboard and 32 gigs of DDR5 RAM. 26 00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:59,940 Check out the link in the description for your chance to win. I think we're just gonna have to live with this. 27 00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:03,700 Anyway, to be honest, given what a minimalist you are, 28 00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,380 I don't think we're gonna find that much stuff from the office here. 29 00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,140 You don't even have the decency to steal an LTT Store water bottle. 30 00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:14,420 No. Aha! He has paid for that one. 31 00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:19,060 You think? It's probably comped. There's no way you bought this D-brand Rubik's Cube. 32 00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:23,300 Probably used a gift from D-brand. A gift from D-brand, really. 33 00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,700 There's no way you bought an Apple polishing cloth. 34 00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:29,820 It's a gift. From who? From my brother. 35 00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:33,420 Really? Yeah. Was your brother memeing? No, no. 36 00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:37,300 Oh, this is gonna be a problem. If I have to kneel to look at something, you're not gonna, anyway. 37 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:40,500 The point is, this computer is definitely pilfered. 38 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:44,300 Christmas party. That's what they all say. And these D-brand dark plates. 39 00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:47,700 I know the gift from D-brand. The gift from D-brand. I guess this explains how D-brand 40 00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,020 always knows what I'm up to. My entire staff is moles. 41 00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:54,540 And I don't think I'm gonna find anything else in here. 42 00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:58,980 Like, literally anything else. It feels like we're bringing more stuff in here 43 00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:02,900 than there already was. Is minimalism a lifestyle? 44 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:07,700 Is it? I don't like clutter, I don't know. Can you explain the random sheet of cardboard 45 00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:11,500 under your bed that I only know about because I went and put my backpack in there? 46 00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:15,540 That's where I throw all the clutter. So the cardboard is like a floor protector? 47 00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:19,260 I think it's protective, yeah. And the LED strip around the cardboard? It looks cool. 48 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:22,740 That's a vibe, got it. When you're taller, you can't see the cardboard. 49 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,340 Admittedly, that is true. They do look pretty cool. 50 00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:31,700 Yeah, I programmed them myself for this random rainbow star pattern. 51 00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:33,180 One piece of clutter, though. 52 00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:38,500 It's just breadboarded. Nice. 53 00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:43,100 Actually, there is one more notable piece of clutter. What's going on with this right now? 54 00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:46,700 I was hit by a car. I can't bike very much, so, you know. 55 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,060 Maybe a new television will make you feel better. 56 00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:54,380 You can watch it on the Tour de France. Cool, let's have a look. 57 00:03:54,380 --> 00:04:00,500 All right, there's the back of the TV. So normally, we're upgrading someone's TV, 58 00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:05,740 but now you just have a TV now. Was not having a TV before part of the minimalism thing, 59 00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:08,260 or just... Laziness, I guess? I don't know. 60 00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:13,700 Got a good screen on my laptop. It's funny because if I hadn't immediately 61 00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:17,660 moved out with Yvonne, other than probably being messier than this, 62 00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:21,540 this is probably what my place would have been like. Like, when we first moved into our house, 63 00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:25,300 even with Yvonne and her desire for furniture and things, 64 00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,860 we just had a mattress on the floor. Like, we didn't even have a bed frame to start with. 65 00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:32,340 Like, you at least have a bed frame. I got you there, yeah. Yeah, nice. Thank you. 66 00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:37,060 Let's put the stand on. And maybe while we do that, you can tell me why you chose the LG C3. 67 00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:43,380 It's one of the top three or four OLEDs. They're just really the C4, but I think it's only a bit brighter and not too much else. 68 00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:50,380 Yeah, I think it will be pretty good. Especially given you're upgrading from zero. 69 00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:54,500 Laptop, yeah. Yeah. I feel like this is gonna be one of those videos 70 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:58,580 where like half the comments are like, Linus' company doesn't pay enough 71 00:04:58,580 --> 00:05:01,860 because Lucas can't afford to own anything. 72 00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:06,540 Okay, where does it go? You don't by any chance have a TV stand, do you? 73 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:11,260 In a box, yeah, in two boxes. Oh, really? I assumed like your level of minimalism, 74 00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:14,940 it was just gonna like... I'm also taller, so. 75 00:05:14,980 --> 00:05:20,300 That might work for some. Is this couch new or did you like have a couch? 76 00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:23,860 My mom insisted on it when she came over for my surgery. 77 00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:28,580 You did not own a couch until your mom came to visit you. 78 00:05:28,580 --> 00:05:32,260 No, yeah, that cardboard is from the couch, so. Before we do the furniture, 79 00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:36,580 we've gotta clean the floor. I noticed two things actually. 80 00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:40,180 First, I noticed that your place is immaculately clean, 81 00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:44,180 like too clean, like you have picture hangers on the wall, but no pictures on them, like it's weird. 82 00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:46,980 So then why do you need this then? You look really fancy. 83 00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:51,460 I don't know, it's very time to butt get the best of everything, so. 84 00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:54,540 It's not a great value. No, no. How much was this? 85 00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:58,660 It's like a thousand Canadian. I know. 86 00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:02,140 I think the fancy thing about this is there's a laser in the head here, so. 87 00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:05,180 A what? A laser, so it shows like dust or something. 88 00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:09,100 What? There's a picture on the blocks, I think. Reveals invisible dust. 89 00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:13,980 You didn't even know it was dirty. If you don't know, like does it matter? 90 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:18,660 You can feel it, you can tell. That looks like trash. 91 00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:22,220 That looks nothing like the picture on the box. That's a little laser. 92 00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:26,420 Turn off the lights. Well, no, I just mean it's all on the one side, 93 00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:29,420 like where's their diffusion layer? 94 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:32,580 You can see that dust. I mean, yeah, but I could see that already. 95 00:06:33,940 --> 00:06:37,820 Oh, it's just there's no dust here. Dude, there is no dust on your floor. 96 00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:42,300 This place is like borderline neurotically clean, like you know that, right? 97 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,660 Thanks. Comes with a wall now though. 98 00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:48,900 Are you okay mounting anything on the wall? 99 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:53,260 Like I couldn't help noticing. The previous tenant had pictures. 100 00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:57,140 You were like, yeah, the hangers were okay, I guess, but that's the most I can handle. 101 00:06:57,140 --> 00:07:01,500 Don't like leaving a mark, I don't know. But there's already a mark. You could put something on it. 102 00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:06,260 I was thinking about like hanging my Lego map, but it's very heavy and probably wouldn't be supported 103 00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:10,300 by those. Lucas, you keep this place so tidy. 104 00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:14,740 I think they'd probably be okay if you put like a drywall anchor in the wall. 105 00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:21,100 Look at the anxiety here. This is hilarious. I'm about to break his brain. 106 00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,820 If you don't wall-mount it, it will go on the floor and it will be clutter. 107 00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:30,980 I'll tell you what, Lucas, as my gift to you, when I go to Home Depot to get some drywall anchors, 108 00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:35,580 I will bring back a little bit of spackle. Would that satisfy you? 109 00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:40,460 Sounds good. Okay, decide where your wall-mounting is. I don't know if it's in a closet. 110 00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:45,820 I don't know if there's power in there. Probably. Do you want to make it up? 111 00:07:45,820 --> 00:07:48,860 Gotcha. Wait, wait, we've really got to watch out for this. 112 00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:53,380 This is a flip-dot display or it's like electromechanical. No way! 113 00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:56,860 Yeah, it's an electromechanical display. It's made of these tiny discs 114 00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:59,980 and they have a little magnet in them and then underneath there's coils of wire 115 00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:05,380 and you flip them back and forth using, you know, by running current through the coils of wire. 116 00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:08,940 So what are you going to use it for? Is it a clock? Is it an expression of your- 117 00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:13,500 An expression of your- Not decided yet. Minimalism, maybe you'll just have it all white. 118 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:17,420 Yeah. Maybe build a frame for it or get more of them 119 00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:21,500 and put them all together. But they're quite expensive, so. Right, what's one of these worth? 120 00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:22,900 Like $700. 121 00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:30,140 Oh no, I left a mark on the floor. When I was sliding the table, it's really bad. 122 00:08:31,180 --> 00:08:32,180 I'm not convinced. 123 00:08:34,340 --> 00:08:38,100 You need to work on your acting. Oh. 124 00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,940 His mama didn't raise no fool. She just raised someone who doesn't think couches are necessary. 125 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:47,140 There isn't like a regular outlet. There's just power for the washing machine, so. 126 00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:49,860 Nope, it's going to have to be mounted somewhere else. Got him. 127 00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:56,780 Under the bed. No, you can't put it under the bed. 128 00:08:56,780 --> 00:09:00,740 I think probably this corner would work. I want to see him put a hole in something. 129 00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:07,500 I just, I don't know. There's like kind of like a weird, almost perverse like desire to just like 130 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:11,340 watch him violate his wall. I have a broken hand thing, so. 131 00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:16,740 Oh, like yeah, I guess it's. It's a lot. I can't even play badminton, so. 132 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:22,380 Sorry, what were you saying about your deposit and holes in the wall? 133 00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:24,540 I'll just bill you for my security deposit. 134 00:09:28,860 --> 00:09:32,620 All right, and. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Ah, shut up. 135 00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:38,300 Boop. We're charging. This could be a short extension for you. 136 00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:42,340 You wanted it longer, right? So, I mean, there, look, now you have an extension. 137 00:09:42,340 --> 00:09:45,500 So let's see. Okay, how far can you reach? Oh, God. 138 00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:46,500 Just a lot of articulation. 139 00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:51,860 What happened? Does he get older? Well, look. Oh, man. 140 00:09:54,580 --> 00:09:57,980 And as promised, here's your putty knife and spackle for when you're going to need this later. 141 00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:02,020 I'll throw it under the bed for you. Oh, great, thanks. Now, why don't we talk about your soundbar? 142 00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:07,380 I guess you missed the video we did on how you can build a full 5.1 surround setup 143 00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:10,620 off Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the cost of a soundbar. 144 00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:13,860 Yeah, that one would be a bit too late for me to mix in choices. 145 00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:18,340 I also feel like it really wouldn't have been your style. No, I do like this one, you know, it's nice compact. 146 00:10:18,340 --> 00:10:21,820 Not too much of a sound guy. I don't like, you know, loud noises, so. 147 00:10:21,820 --> 00:10:25,260 Plus, I think it's like, like home kit compatible and all that stuff, so that's nice. 148 00:10:25,260 --> 00:10:28,740 Just use it for other. Yeah, thank you. 149 00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:32,300 This is the ultimate contrast. Now, your whole thing is like, you know, 150 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:38,060 evaluating power products. So, surge protectors, actually necessary, placebo. 151 00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:43,540 They will probably have components in there and it's hard to say about each individual one, 152 00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:48,260 but yeah, they will have, you know, surge mitigating components in there, so good to have. 153 00:10:48,260 --> 00:10:52,420 This is something that drives me crazy. Every TV manufacturer must know 154 00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:58,020 that you're going to have a soundbar under it and yet none of them leave a spot to rub the cable for it. 155 00:10:58,020 --> 00:11:01,500 If I designed products, they would be different. Speaking of designing products, 156 00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,540 do we have any of the power bar mounting things? 157 00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:07,540 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we do. 158 00:11:07,540 --> 00:11:10,940 Let's go magnetic cable management. Oh, wow. Oh, this is cute. 159 00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:16,380 Huh, wow, those Swedes. 160 00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:26,740 While Jordan finishes cable managing the TV, I was thinking, Lucas, you and I could work 161 00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:29,820 on your new gaming system. 162 00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:34,820 Great. Why do you even need a new system? You just got that computer last year. 163 00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:39,620 It's very large. Yeah, you wouldn't have any space 164 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:43,020 to put something as big as that computer. All these new additions, you know, 165 00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:49,980 gotta make some room. Okay, well, what'd you go for? 7800X3D, obvious choice, obviously. 166 00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:53,420 A little bit early for the new 9800. 167 00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:56,700 Also, they're completely out of stock everywhere because people keep buying them. 168 00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:01,740 Way to go, people. And then a small case, power supply, obviously. 169 00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:05,540 We have a review for this one on the LTT Labs website. Oh, and so this one's good? 170 00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:09,180 That's a good one, yeah, good choice. Okay, all right, thank you. 171 00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:12,500 I mean, you can believe him out of literally everyone who works here. 172 00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:18,300 He's the one who knows. What else have we got here? 32 gigs of G-Skill memory, DDR5 6000 CL30. 173 00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:22,820 It's pretty much your sweet spot for AM5 right now. So you're carrying over your GPU from your old system? 174 00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:27,780 Existing one, yes. Now, you have a pretty mid-range GPU in there 175 00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:32,340 and this raised some questions for me. Exactly what games are you playing 176 00:12:32,340 --> 00:12:37,740 such that you need a 7800X3D, second fastest gaming ship on the planet, basically. 177 00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:43,220 But you like, don't need a GPU? Play mostly Rocket League and... 178 00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:47,220 Oh, that happens to be a game that like, runs pretty good. 179 00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:51,700 Thank you. But a lot of this, a lot of decisions were 180 00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:55,420 helped by John at the lab as well. He knows a lot about computers, so. 181 00:12:55,420 --> 00:13:00,500 Are you building the computer? Do you build computers? Or do you just test power supplies? I've never built a computer, no. 182 00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:02,500 Well, there's no time like the present. 183 00:13:03,540 --> 00:13:07,380 I'm excited. Yeah, let's do it. And by let's, I mean you. 184 00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:11,180 Great. Single monitor, extra tall desk to mount. 185 00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:14,300 Nice. Hey, Rhys, are you looking for something to do? 186 00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:17,500 Do you want to build this? Oh no, what are you building? 187 00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:23,340 A blue thing. A blue thing? For the bike. 188 00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:26,740 Is it a stand? A stand, yeah. Like a repair stand. Cool. 189 00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:29,900 Oh, so you are going to fix it, we hope. Well, I'll have another bike eventually. 190 00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:33,260 Is that one not fixable? No, it's a write-off. 191 00:13:33,260 --> 00:13:36,580 That the frame's bent, like, skewed, so. You're getting distracted. 192 00:13:36,580 --> 00:13:39,860 You're supposed to be building the computer, though. Right. He's avoiding it. 193 00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:43,540 He's worried you guys will judge him. You wouldn't do that, would you? 194 00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:48,900 This is better framing for the two of us than if you stand, so. 195 00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:55,500 Nicely featured board. Got PCIe Gen 5 for both M.2 and PCIe by 16 slot. 196 00:13:56,100 --> 00:14:00,580 So you'll be ready for future GPU upgrades. Got front USB-C support. 197 00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:03,900 Ah, got a couple M.2 slots. Yeah, carry on. 198 00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:08,980 Don't let me get in the way. Do I remove that? What you do is you lift it up without removing that. 199 00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:13,060 Okay, so just remember. You damage those pins, it's game over. No pressure, though. 200 00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:17,260 Arrows? Oh yeah. Now you have to do it again for the close-up. 201 00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:23,100 Yeah, doing things for the camera. First CPU install, let's go. 202 00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:28,660 Oh wow, fun fact. This breaks Sherrod's law of memory installation alignment. 203 00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:33,660 Oh no, no, that's right. No, no, you were right the first time, nevermind. Yep, no, this follows Sherrod's law. 204 00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:37,460 Sherrod's law states that you don't have to look at the key on the memory module. 205 00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:42,420 You just look at the location of the sticker. And the most cosmetically appealing side 206 00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:47,540 is usually facing away from the CPU socket. It's one of those things where if you're not computer sexual, 207 00:14:47,540 --> 00:14:51,820 I don't blame you for not knowing which side of a memory module is the more attractive one. 208 00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:55,500 Right. Memories in, do you remember what's next? 209 00:14:55,500 --> 00:15:00,740 I think it would be to either install in the case or I think I have to dismantle my previous computer. 210 00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:04,500 Oh yeah, you have no storage. Some of this stuff, yeah. Cool. Pulling out of that one. 211 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:11,740 All right, let's do it. I couldn't help noticing something over here, by the way. You have a PC, but you actually go out of your way 212 00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:16,220 to use an Apple keyboard. Wait, you use Time Machine. Hold on a second, oh, there's your MacBook. 213 00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:20,380 This isn't even on. Do you even use this thing? Is it for Rocket League? 214 00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:24,460 That's about it. This is the part I'm the expert at, you know, unplugging PCIe. 215 00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:27,700 Nice. Power. Yeah, I guess you do that a lot. 216 00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:32,140 Probably hundreds of computers worth. He's in his comfort zone right now, folks. 217 00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:37,140 Oh, now he's out of it. Is that the wrong one? I mean, you'll have to remove that one eventually, 218 00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:41,820 but not now. It's a lot, yeah, it's a lot harder when that other one is in the way of it. 219 00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,100 There you go. Every time I see a post on Reddit or on the form or whatever, 220 00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:49,380 building to use is easy. It's just Lego for adults. 221 00:15:49,380 --> 00:15:55,140 I think you're taking for granted all of the things that you have experienced before. 222 00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:58,900 Like, I think if you put a Lego kit in front of someone with no instructions, 223 00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:04,380 yeah, yeah, building a computer is about like that for people who haven't done it before. 224 00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:08,620 And there's like 100 different mechanisms for the PCI retention, like. 225 00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:13,460 Is this actually holding in? I can't even see, I think it's just brace. Yeah, it is. 226 00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:17,140 I don't know, is it like bolt in or just brace? You tell me. 227 00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:20,900 I actually really like that. I didn't know that main gear used braces like that 228 00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:25,180 to hold the GPUs in place, but that's Wicked Smart. Oh my goodness. 229 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:29,820 That's just ludicrous. Okay. Is this like standing desk 230 00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:33,500 when you're too cheap to get a standing desk or like? What? Human. 231 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,580 Right? Requires this, I f... 232 00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:39,860 He's like... He's like... 233 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:45,180 Okay, I think it might actually be too tall even for you. 234 00:16:45,180 --> 00:16:49,780 Yeah, I was planning on using two bars. So you can buy it in one bar or three bar. 235 00:16:49,780 --> 00:16:53,420 I have the one bar, I probably need a two bar. I will take out a bar. 236 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:58,460 Okay, yeah, let's take out a bar. We're almost done the bike stand or whatever this thing is. 237 00:16:58,460 --> 00:17:02,500 It is a bike stand, right? This thing? Stand, yeah. Like a repair stand. 238 00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:06,900 I don't know what I'm saying. I'm gonna assume it's a bike stand. It's kind of like the snap on of bike tools. 239 00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:11,420 Oh really? So this was like, hey, thanks AMD. I wouldn't pay for this myself kind of purchase. 240 00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:16,100 Yeah, but it's nice and sturdy and glue. Right. So like, how much weight can it support? 241 00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:19,900 Like, could I... I'm not done here, I'm not done here yet. 242 00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:24,420 You're getting distracted again. Yeah, right. Just reusing your old solid-time drive. 243 00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:30,100 We've got a phantom spirit that's going into Lucas's machine. This is gonna be more than enough 244 00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,620 to keep that 7800X3D cool. I think I was told for clearance reasons 245 00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:38,780 that I need these. For clearance reasons? Like to the case for the, I'm not sure. 246 00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:42,460 See, there's all the wiring that we need to build a functioning computer. 247 00:17:42,460 --> 00:17:46,180 And then you basically double or triple it if you want to put any RGB in it. And you... 248 00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:49,860 I'm fine without RGB. Oh. So we're just not gonna have to... Just run it black, yeah. 249 00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:54,540 Oh. We're not gonna be here all day. 250 00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:57,900 Hey, look at that. Reese has done the bicycle stand. Why are you tightening it up so much? 251 00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:02,700 It's like, you know that I'm gonna try to hang off it. Absolutely. Oh yeah, we could put a bike on it. 252 00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:07,340 Okay. So now you can, without like breaking your poor back, 253 00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:12,020 is this a fancy bike? This is like a mid-tier, not that fancy. 254 00:18:12,020 --> 00:18:15,820 Okay, so no carbon fiber, but... No, no, no. It's like, yeah, aluminum. 255 00:18:15,820 --> 00:18:18,900 It's hard to find a really big bike. I was gonna say. 256 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,100 Yeah. Slim pickings. Right. 257 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:24,780 You are not building a computer again. Oh yeah. 258 00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:33,260 I want maybe like a bit lower. Okay, first of all, my feet are dangling off the floor 259 00:18:33,260 --> 00:18:36,380 unless I point my toes. And that chair's too short for me. 260 00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:42,060 Yeah, okay. And second of all, my eyes are about this height. 261 00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:46,620 For proper ergonomics, your eyes should be at about this point in the top of the screen. 262 00:18:46,620 --> 00:18:50,900 So I'll just adopt Adam Sondergaard's computer using posture. 263 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,540 Well, he's gonna have to throw it away then. 264 00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:03,820 Doesn't fit. Jordan says that I have to talk about the tech sack. 265 00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:08,020 It holds lots of stuff. Okay, you can get our precision screwdriver in there. 266 00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:15,220 I keep some side cutters and a pair of pliers. I also keep like a pile of our screwdrivers in here. 267 00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:19,780 And the reason that I do that is because they're all color-coded for the different loadouts I have for them. 268 00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:23,860 This is my standard bit set. This is my Imperial hex. 269 00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:27,940 This is my metric hex. And then this one is my specialty. 270 00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:31,260 So I got my tri-wings, all that kind of stuff in there. 271 00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:34,740 LTTstore.com. Okay, sorry, what do you need? I was just gonna try to make the oil. 272 00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:38,140 Just go until they don't go anymore. It was clicking. 273 00:19:38,140 --> 00:19:42,180 Yeah, that's fine. That's good, it's a good click. I think fans next. 274 00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:44,300 Yeah, let's do fans. 275 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:55,900 I know. We were memin' it for the intro, but also acknowledging that it was gonna be a real problem. 276 00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:59,340 Look how far bent over he is. An awful posture. 277 00:19:59,340 --> 00:20:02,340 You guys just watch. He's gonna be a wizard with the power supply cables. 278 00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:05,420 He's gonna plug those things in so fast, so flawlessly. 279 00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:09,980 Give me that power supply, let's go. So that goes in the case now. 280 00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:13,820 How are you doing, Jordan? Good. We have a lovely rug for us here. 281 00:20:13,820 --> 00:20:17,660 Oh, we got a rug. Beautiful. Where'd the rug come from? 282 00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:21,620 Seems cheap. Home Depot, I think, I don't know. Home Depot, nice. 283 00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:24,740 It's Jonathan Y. John Finney? John Finney? 284 00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:29,060 Yeah. Designer. I can just see it. Your mom's gonna come in next time she visits. 285 00:20:29,060 --> 00:20:33,340 She's gonna be like, my goodness, is that a Jonathan Y? It's a Jonathan Y. 286 00:20:33,420 --> 00:20:38,340 Let's go, Reese and Jordan. Can you guys help Lucas out here? 287 00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:42,020 Yeah, well, we don't even know where I want it. You just focus on mounting this power supply. 288 00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:45,540 You let Reese. He's got an interior design background. 289 00:20:45,540 --> 00:20:48,740 He's got you covered. Yes. No? 290 00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:51,860 Okay, sure. Absolutely the experts. You can put anything on your residence. 291 00:20:51,860 --> 00:20:57,900 That's true. I did. I lied, I don't. Okay, so did you guys find the Lego stuff? 292 00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:01,260 Oh, okay. There's little bricky things in there. There's little guys right here. Cool. 293 00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:04,300 How you doing over here? Wow, good progress. Power supply is in there. 294 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,860 Look at that. And you even got one modular cable plugged into it. You're tall, Lucas. 295 00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:10,860 Is that what it looks like? Is it not? I don't know. 296 00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:14,620 Do you not like it? I wasn't trusted with the power, so I'm using my power. 297 00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:17,700 You just have to trust Reese. Trust the process. Or don't. 298 00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:22,740 That's totally fine. Sure, let's see. Well, he didn't seem very confident there. 299 00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:25,860 That was a pretty pregnant pause there. Do you want to? 300 00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:29,700 I think it was some thought. Do you want it over there? I don't know what you guys think. 301 00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:33,540 Nope, yes. I told you what I think. Yeah, let's put it there. 302 00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:36,620 That sounds good. Beauty. Good enough for me. 303 00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:40,060 You can talk from his tone of voice. He's super happy with this decision. 304 00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:43,540 Yeah, we should plug in some power cables and stuff first. Let's see if you can figure out 305 00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:50,780 how to plug in the power supply. He doesn't have to work with me day to day, so this is probably his highest dose of me in my effort. 306 00:21:50,780 --> 00:21:54,980 I can't even get this thing. Oh, that's funny. After all, after all my ribbing you, 307 00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:59,100 you actually can't plug in the power supply. For testing, it's all on a really flat board, 308 00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:03,740 so it's really nice and easy. Oh, don't look, don't look, don't look. 309 00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:07,580 We're out there again. Lucas, you're looking. They told you not to look. 310 00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:11,540 We specifically said it. They said not to watch. Please don't look. 311 00:22:11,540 --> 00:22:17,060 Well, you don't know can't hurt you. Yeah, the tweedles over there are really kind of hard 312 00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:20,580 to look away from right now. My mom always used to do that. 313 00:22:20,580 --> 00:22:24,300 She'd refer to two of us as tweedledy and tweedledum, 314 00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:28,420 and she'd never specify which one of us was dumb in that moment. 315 00:22:28,420 --> 00:22:32,140 It was usually me. Well, it breaks the place up. Yeah, what do you think? 316 00:22:32,140 --> 00:22:35,500 It's good. It's nice. Looks level. Thank you. 317 00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:40,500 It was very little confidence. I'm glad you're smart. So this is going to be one of the most transformative 318 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,060 transformations, I think, because we really did start with a very flat slate. 319 00:22:44,060 --> 00:22:47,420 Also, I got you this. Ultimate upgrade. Oh, thank you. Wow. 320 00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:50,620 I can put this somewhere else down. Yeah. I just don't understand how they're supposed 321 00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:55,100 to hold this in. You see what I mean here, right? Like, how am I supposed to, 322 00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:59,920 where are the devil am I supposed to put this thing? You know? Okay, I'm just going to find a couple of spots 323 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,160 where it kind of lines up and just go for it. 324 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,860 Seems to be the theme today. What are you saying about the fine work they did 325 00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:12,960 mounting that Lego art on the wall? Okay, well, I'm sorry. 326 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,000 This is the best I can do. You're just going to have a bundle of cables 327 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,640 hanging here above your fans. There go the standards. 328 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,880 Well, yeah, well, yeah. You told me not to bother hooking up the RGB anyway, 329 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,920 didn't you? That's what I spent this whole time doing. 330 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,360 I totally forgot. I just, it's a reflex. 331 00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:36,360 I just see cables. I hooked them up. I don't think. Woo! 332 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,800 See, but now that you've got the RGB, right? No regrets, right? 333 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,480 How could I ever turn this off? Yeah, exactly. There she goes. 334 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,760 Nice. All right, perfect. Well, that's great news. You're going to get so many more FPS in Rocket League. 335 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,800 Okay, let's continue. Where, hey, where do you want this? 336 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,600 That's just been living on my desk. They actually have, I have had for a little while. 337 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,240 Probably going to stay there for now until I can build a frame of sort or something for it. 338 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,760 Okay, I do want to log in. I guess you'll need a keyboard. 339 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,720 Oh, you got, oh, we got a new mouse and keyboard. Oh, wow. That is a really good thing. 340 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:14,440 These are the, these are from iBuyPower. Those are the free ones from Sammy's PC 341 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,440 that he bought at the Christmas party. Yeah, okay. 342 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,800 They're awful, yeah. Yeah, okay. There you go. Well, I mean, you know, 343 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:27,800 they're just worth $10 or something. Well, this is an upgrade. Keychron K2HE wireless magnetic switch keyboard. 344 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,480 Kinda chose this one, kinda, you know, just winging it. Really? 345 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,520 Well, you know, I like the Apple chiclet keyboard, so. Right, so basically we should just ignore 346 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,920 any of your taste in keyboards anyway. Probably, yeah. Okay. 347 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,040 I mean, that sounds a little better than the Apple keyboard, doesn't it? 348 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,280 I think it sounds nice, yeah. I like the Apple keyboard, it doesn't make any sound at all, 349 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,360 but. Okay, what'd you go with for mouse? 350 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:57,000 Razer Death Outter V3 Pro. All right. 351 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,600 I mean, realistically, it's like Rocket League, so like. Yeah. 352 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,240 Well, it could branch out. I'm not actually not sure. Wait, you use a controller, don't you? 353 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,280 For right, yeah, yeah, yeah, for you. Okay, good. 354 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,160 To the stage, we're playing Rocket League with keyboard and mouse, you're doing it wrong. Wow, yeah, no, that does look good. 355 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,600 Looks clean. Do you not have a mouse pad? No. 356 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,960 Lucas. I got a table. What? Ugh. 357 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,440 I don't even have one at work anyway. Either. 358 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,400 But. Lucas, I grant you my on-camera permission 359 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,960 to steal a mouse pad from work. 360 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,920 He's not gonna do it even, is he? Cause he could have one at his work station for nothing. 361 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,120 I think I have one in my closet. There's one in the closet? 362 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,280 Yeah. Okay, well let's go get the mouse pad. No, no, we need the mouse pad. 363 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:47,680 Wait, you totally have, like, one of the really nice designer edition LTT mouse pads. 364 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,640 Great. I can't wait to use it. 365 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,360 Okay, there. See, oh, look how much nicer that is. 366 00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:02,080 See, does that not feel better on the mouse? Not really. 367 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:02,920 But thanks. 368 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,840 It's not minimalist enough. 369 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:14,840 Come on, that can't be the reason. We really are a fascinating group of people. 370 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,240 What are you trying to say? That's actually it. Yeah. 371 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,320 I'm trying to say that I get it, Lucas. I see you. 372 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,720 That's what I'm trying to say. I don't know if I'm minimalist or anything, 373 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,120 but, you know, I just like, things clean and organized a bit, you know? 374 00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:32,240 Brother, you didn't have a couch till your mother made you buy one. 375 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,360 This would be a fun WAN Show discussion topic. Who, out of everyone who's gotten an upgrade so far 376 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,440 has had the most serial killer abode? 377 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,160 You're really interested to see the audience debate it. 378 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,040 See, Lucas would have nowhere to stash a body, right? Like, you know where to hide it, so. 379 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,080 Under the bed? Maybe one of these clothes. 380 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,600 Dude, are you seeing this? That is so cool. 381 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,320 I was just sitting here and it was all like, hey, look, I'm upside down. 382 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,620 That is sick. 383 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,600 Look at it go. 384 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,880 So cool. Whoa, no way, okay, what are we looking at? 385 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,800 Is this, what is this? This is just random patterns of noise, like, they call it purlin' noise. 386 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,720 It's a mathematical way to do it. You got, like, cloud formations or stuff like this. 387 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,640 Okay. But it's just very mesmerizing to look at. It's a little loud, hey? 388 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,040 It can be loud, yeah. It depends, like, where you put it and stuff. If you're just in, like, a quiet space like this, 389 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,080 it's kind of loud. Could you, like, mount it behind, 390 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,040 like, a double-pane glass thing or something? You could do it behind glass or something, you know? 391 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,320 Oh, no way, that is so cool! I just have a bunch of, like, demos, basically. 392 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,520 All right, you ready to show us your rocket-leaf skills? 393 00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:47,080 That's pretty cool! Okay, well, you're definitely better than me already. 394 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,040 You could remember the controls without having to lift them up, so that's a step. 395 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,120 My son and his friends do stuff in this game that I'm just, like... 396 00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:58,200 Yeah, I'm sure they're, like, nine-year-olds that are, like, incredibly better than me and stuff. 397 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,160 I don't get it. Fatboy the Rizgod, gotcha. Have you tried being more of a Rizgod? 398 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,680 Because then, yeah, you might beat him. Okay, casual, like, 400 FPS. 399 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,200 I can see why you don't play on the PlayStation. Yeah, yeah. Well, also, Ultrawide, 400 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,520 the PlayStation can't even do that, I think. 401 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,920 PlayStation still can't do that? Not when I used to play, like, a year ago, at least. 402 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,920 Really? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so, but it must be. How do they, there's so many 403 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,720 Ultrawide displays these days, though. Ultrawide monitors. 404 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,840 Nobody's got an Ultrawide TV, you know what I'm saying? The TV thing, yeah, you put it on TV. 405 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,520 Like a plug. It's ironic, because so much movie content is Ultrawide. 406 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,360 You'd think they would just have Ultrawide TVs. It's... 407 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,160 Yeah, hey, TV manufacturers. Wake up. 408 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,060 Where's, like, Ultrawide TVs? You guys are looking for some excuse 409 00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:49,160 to charge a premium in this space, right? 410 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,480 Bring out another, nobody wants a rolling TV. 411 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,480 Wide cinematic TV, huh? You're welcome. 412 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,200 What do you, you still watch it? Gold! Is the Apple TV part of the upgrade or no? 413 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,240 I kind of already owned that, but it wasn't set up before. But yeah, what did you even hook it up to? 414 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,280 You didn't have a TV. Nothing, it was in a box, in a box. 415 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,560 So it was just Apple. No TV. 416 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,520 This will be my first time hearing the Beam V2. I heard good things about the original Beam. 417 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,080 There's definitely frequencies it struggles with. 418 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,040 Man, that TV looks good, though. Got a surprising amount of rumble for not having a sub. 419 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,400 It's got a little bit. Yeah, I think you can buy, like, additional, 420 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,680 like, add-ons like Bluetooth, right? Yep, yeah, you can get a sub 421 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:42,000 and you can actually get surrounds as well, which if you wanted a bit more of a, like, immersive sound, 422 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,560 that would help, but it seems like you don't care. 423 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,120 You probably have to wall mount them. Are we really gonna keep this rug like this? 424 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,480 I don't know. Probably not. Yeah. 425 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,480 We'll see how it goes. Okay, cool. And you'll move the couch closer. 426 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,800 Once we leave and stop criticizing him, 427 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,200 but with that said, I don't actually think there's too much to criticize. 428 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:16,760 I thought this was a super practical upgrade, laser-focused PC upgrade, adding that 7800X3D, 429 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,720 getting, like, 400 frames per second in Rocket League, where every competitive edge counts. 430 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,520 We've got a really nice upgrade to your bike stand. 431 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,680 The bike is... Need some work, yeah, yeah. TBD, but, dude, you went from zero 432 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,680 to actually a pretty sick movie-watching spot. So you're gonna start with Lord of the Rings? 433 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,800 And then Breakfast Club? Yeah, that sounds good. 434 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,960 I was ranting about it at once. No, I don't wanna watch it again. Overrated movie. 435 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,760 I finally watched Breakfast Club last night. An absolute piece of garbage. 436 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,160 Literally nothing happens. Nobody learns anything. 437 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,080 Oh no, I'm gonna get attacked on the internet. 438 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,200 If you enjoyed this video, hey, shout out AMD for sponsoring the $5,000 439 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,840 AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade series. If you guys are looking for another video to watch, 440 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,600 why don't you go check out Matthews? 441 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,720 I was gonna throw to someone else from the lab scene, but you're the first one to win one.
