WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.600
Okay, we're not actually related, and I'm pretty sure I'm older than him,

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:07.440
but hanging out with Lucas makes me feel like the little brother,

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.940
and we can't start his AMD $5,000 Ultimate Tech upgrade

00:00:10.940 --> 00:00:14.440
until we can find some way to get us both in the freaking shot.

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.720
Maybe this will work. Lucas works hard on power supply testing for the lab.

00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:25.320
We can't shoot the whole video like this. Cut.

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.160
We can't make him shorter, so we're gonna have to make me taller.

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.760
These are, wow, these are some incredible crocs. Okay, how's that?

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.600
Ah, that's more like it.

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.400
I have never used these before. What could go wrong?

00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:46.720
Okay. Hey, that's better.

00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:51.120
Ah, anyway, like I was saying, Lucas works on Power Supply Circuit

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:55.480
and Power Supply Reviews on LTTLabs.com. I can't believe it's taken so long

00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:59.120
for an LTT Labs member to get a $5,000 Ultimate Tech upgrade.

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.440
From our sponsor AMD. But here we are, both high as fuck,

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:06.640
and ready to get to work. Get it?

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.040
It's a high good thing, you know? You're like, not even that much taller.

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.600
Before we get to the upgrade, as is tradition, we've got a...

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:25.960
All right, I think we're gonna have to lose the stones. DING DONG

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:32.960
DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:36.840
DONG DONG DONG DONG

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.920
If it's AMD upgrade time, then it must also be AMD Sweepstakes time.

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.080
You could win one of three AMD's 5 Upgrade bundles featuring

00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:50.640
the fastest gaming CPU on the market, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D,

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.100
along with an ASUS motherboard and 32 gigs of DDR5 RAM.

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.

00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:03.700
Anyway, to be honest, given what a minimalist you are,

00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:07.380
I don't think we're gonna find that much stuff from the office here.

00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:11.140
You don't even have the decency to steal an LTT Store water bottle.

00:02:11.140 --> 00:02:14.420
No. Aha! He has paid for that one.

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.

00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:23.300
Probably used a gift from D-brand. A gift from D-brand, really.

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:26.700
There's no way you bought an Apple polishing cloth.

00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:29.820
It's a gift. From who? From my brother.

00:02:29.820 --> 00:02:33.420
Really? Yeah. Was your brother memeing? No, no.

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.

00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:40.500
The point is, this computer is definitely pilfered.

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:44.300
Christmas party. That's what they all say. And these D-brand dark plates.

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

00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:51.020
always knows what I'm up to. My entire staff is moles.

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.540
And I don't think I'm gonna find anything else in here.

00:02:54.540 --> 00:02:58.980
Like, literally anything else. It feels like we're bringing more stuff in here

00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:02.900
than there already was. Is minimalism a lifestyle?

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

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?

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:15.540
That's where I throw all the clutter. So the cardboard is like a floor protector?

00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:19.260
I think it's protective, yeah. And the LED strip around the cardboard? It looks cool.

00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:22.740
That's a vibe, got it. When you're taller, you can't see the cardboard.

00:03:25.100 --> 00:03:28.340
Admittedly, that is true. They do look pretty cool.

00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:31.700
Yeah, I programmed them myself for this random rainbow star pattern.

00:03:31.700 --> 00:03:33.180
One piece of clutter, though.

00:03:34.700 --> 00:03:38.500
It's just breadboarded. Nice.

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?

00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:46.700
I was hit by a car. I can't bike very much, so, you know.

00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:50.060
Maybe a new television will make you feel better.

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:54.380
You can watch it on the Tour de France. Cool, let's have a look.

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,

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,

00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:08.260
or just... Laziness, I guess? I don't know.

00:04:09.580 --> 00:04:13.700
Got a good screen on my laptop. It's funny because if I hadn't immediately

00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:17.660
moved out with Yvonne, other than probably being messier than this,

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,

00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:25.300
even with Yvonne and her desire for furniture and things,

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:04:43.380 --> 00:04:50.380
Yeah, I think it will be pretty good. Especially given you're upgrading from zero.

00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:54.500
Laptop, yeah. Yeah. I feel like this is gonna be one of those videos

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:58.580
where like half the comments are like, Linus' company doesn't pay enough

00:04:58.580 --> 00:05:01.860
because Lucas can't afford to own anything.

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?

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:11.260
In a box, yeah, in two boxes. Oh, really? I assumed like your level of minimalism,

00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:14.940
it was just gonna like... I'm also taller, so.

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:20.300
That might work for some. Is this couch new or did you like have a couch?

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:23.860
My mom insisted on it when she came over for my surgery.

00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:28.580
You did not own a couch until your mom came to visit you.

00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:32.260
No, yeah, that cardboard is from the couch, so. Before we do the furniture,

00:05:32.260 --> 00:05:36.580
we've gotta clean the floor. I noticed two things actually.

00:05:36.580 --> 00:05:40.180
First, I noticed that your place is immaculately clean,

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.

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:46.980
So then why do you need this then? You look really fancy.

00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:51.460
I don't know, it's very time to butt get the best of everything, so.

00:05:51.460 --> 00:05:54.540
It's not a great value. No, no. How much was this?

00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:58.660
It's like a thousand Canadian. I know.

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.

00:06:02.140 --> 00:06:05.180
A what? A laser, so it shows like dust or something.

00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:09.100
What? There's a picture on the blocks, I think. Reveals invisible dust.

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?

00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:18.660
You can feel it, you can tell. That looks like trash.

00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:22.220
That looks nothing like the picture on the box. That's a little laser.

00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:26.420
Turn off the lights. Well, no, I just mean it's all on the one side,

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:29.420
like where's their diffusion layer?

00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:32.580
You can see that dust. I mean, yeah, but I could see that already.

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.

00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:42.300
This place is like borderline neurotically clean, like you know that, right?

00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:45.660
Thanks. Comes with a wall now though.

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:48.900
Are you okay mounting anything on the wall?

00:06:48.900 --> 00:06:53.260
Like I couldn't help noticing. The previous tenant had pictures.

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.

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.

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

00:07:06.260 --> 00:07:10.300
by those. Lucas, you keep this place so tidy.

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.

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:21.100
Look at the anxiety here. This is hilarious. I'm about to break his brain.

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.

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,

00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:35.580
I will bring back a little bit of spackle. Would that satisfy you?

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.

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?

00:07:45.820 --> 00:07:48.860
Gotcha. Wait, wait, we've really got to watch out for this.

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:53.380
This is a flip-dot display or it's like electromechanical. No way!

00:07:53.380 --> 00:07:56.860
Yeah, it's an electromechanical display. It's made of these tiny discs

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.980
and they have a little magnet in them and then underneath there's coils of wire

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.

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-

00:08:08.940 --> 00:08:13.500
An expression of your- Not decided yet. Minimalism, maybe you'll just have it all white.

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:17.420
Yeah. Maybe build a frame for it or get more of them

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?

00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:22.900
Like $700.

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.

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:32.180
I'm not convinced.

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:38.100
You need to work on your acting. Oh.

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.

00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:47.140
There isn't like a regular outlet. There's just power for the washing machine, so.

00:08:47.140 --> 00:08:49.860
Nope, it's going to have to be mounted somewhere else. Got him.

00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:56.780
Under the bed. No, you can't put it under the bed.

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.

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

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:11.340
watch him violate his wall. I have a broken hand thing, so.

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.

00:09:19.300 --> 00:09:22.380
Sorry, what were you saying about your deposit and holes in the wall?

00:09:22.380 --> 00:09:24.540
I'll just bill you for my security deposit.

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:32.620
All right, and. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Ah, shut up.

00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:38.300
Boop. We're charging. This could be a short extension for you.

00:09:38.300 --> 00:09:42.340
You wanted it longer, right? So, I mean, there, look, now you have an extension.

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.500
So let's see. Okay, how far can you reach? Oh, God.

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:46.500
Just a lot of articulation.

00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:51.860
What happened? Does he get older? Well, look. Oh, man.

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.

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?

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

00:10:07.380 --> 00:10:10.620
off Facebook Marketplace for a fraction of the cost of a soundbar.

00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:13.860
Yeah, that one would be a bit too late for me to mix in choices.

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.

00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:21.820
Not too much of a sound guy. I don't like, you know, loud noises, so.

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.

00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:28.740
Just use it for other. Yeah, thank you.

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:32.300
This is the ultimate contrast. Now, your whole thing is like, you know,

00:10:32.300 --> 00:10:38.060
evaluating power products. So, surge protectors, actually necessary, placebo.

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,

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:48.260
but yeah, they will have, you know, surge mitigating components in there, so good to have.

00:10:48.260 --> 00:10:52.420
This is something that drives me crazy. Every TV manufacturer must know

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.

00:10:58.020 --> 00:11:01.500
If I designed products, they would be different. Speaking of designing products,

00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:04.540
do we have any of the power bar mounting things?

00:11:04.540 --> 00:11:07.540
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we do.

00:11:07.540 --> 00:11:10.940
Let's go magnetic cable management. Oh, wow. Oh, this is cute.

00:11:12.780 --> 00:11:16.380
Huh, wow, those Swedes.

00:11:22.420 --> 00:11:26.740
While Jordan finishes cable managing the TV, I was thinking, Lucas, you and I could work

00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:29.820
on your new gaming system.

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:34.820
Great. Why do you even need a new system? You just got that computer last year.

00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:39.620
It's very large. Yeah, you wouldn't have any space

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:43.020
to put something as big as that computer. All these new additions, you know,

00:11:44.140 --> 00:11:49.980
gotta make some room. Okay, well, what'd you go for? 7800X3D, obvious choice, obviously.

00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:53.420
A little bit early for the new 9800.

00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:56.700
Also, they're completely out of stock everywhere because people keep buying them.

00:11:56.700 --> 00:12:01.740
Way to go, people. And then a small case, power supply, obviously.

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?

00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:09.180
That's a good one, yeah, good choice. Okay, all right, thank you.

00:12:09.180 --> 00:12:12.500
I mean, you can believe him out of literally everyone who works here.

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.

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?

00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:27.780
Existing one, yes. Now, you have a pretty mid-range GPU in there

00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:32.340
and this raised some questions for me. Exactly what games are you playing

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:37.740
such that you need a 7800X3D, second fastest gaming ship on the planet, basically.

00:12:39.020 --> 00:12:43.220
But you like, don't need a GPU? Play mostly Rocket League and...

00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:47.220
Oh, that happens to be a game that like, runs pretty good.

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:51.700
Thank you. But a lot of this, a lot of decisions were

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:55.420
helped by John at the lab as well. He knows a lot about computers, so.

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.

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:02.500
Well, there's no time like the present.

00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:07.380
I'm excited. Yeah, let's do it. And by let's, I mean you.

00:13:07.380 --> 00:13:11.180
Great. Single monitor, extra tall desk to mount.

00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:14.300
Nice. Hey, Rhys, are you looking for something to do?

00:13:14.300 --> 00:13:17.500
Do you want to build this? Oh no, what are you building?

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:23.340
A blue thing. A blue thing? For the bike.

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:26.740
Is it a stand? A stand, yeah. Like a repair stand. Cool.

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.

00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:33.260
Is that one not fixable? No, it's a write-off.

00:13:33.260 --> 00:13:36.580
That the frame's bent, like, skewed, so. You're getting distracted.

00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:39.860
You're supposed to be building the computer, though. Right. He's avoiding it.

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:43.540
He's worried you guys will judge him. You wouldn't do that, would you?

00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:48.900
This is better framing for the two of us than if you stand, so.

00:13:49.060 --> 00:13:55.500
Nicely featured board. Got PCIe Gen 5 for both M.2 and PCIe by 16 slot.

00:13:56.100 --> 00:14:00.580
So you'll be ready for future GPU upgrades. Got front USB-C support.

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:03.900
Ah, got a couple M.2 slots. Yeah, carry on.

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.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:13.060
Okay, so just remember. You damage those pins, it's game over. No pressure, though.

00:14:13.060 --> 00:14:17.260
Arrows? Oh yeah. Now you have to do it again for the close-up.

00:14:17.260 --> 00:14:23.100
Yeah, doing things for the camera. First CPU install, let's go.

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:28.660
Oh wow, fun fact. This breaks Sherrod's law of memory installation alignment.

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.

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.

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:42.420
You just look at the location of the sticker. And the most cosmetically appealing side

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,

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.

00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:55.500
Right. Memories in, do you remember what's next?

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.

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.

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

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.

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:20.380
This isn't even on. Do you even use this thing? Is it for Rocket League?

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.

00:15:24.460 --> 00:15:27.700
Nice. Power. Yeah, I guess you do that a lot.

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:32.140
Probably hundreds of computers worth. He's in his comfort zone right now, folks.

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,

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.

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,

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:49.380
building to use is easy. It's just Lego for adults.

00:15:49.380 --> 00:15:55.140
I think you're taking for granted all of the things that you have experienced before.

00:15:55.140 --> 00:15:58.900
Like, I think if you put a Lego kit in front of someone with no instructions,

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.

00:16:04.380 --> 00:16:08.620
And there's like 100 different mechanisms for the PCI retention, like.

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.

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:17.140
I don't know, is it like bolt in or just brace? You tell me.

00:16:17.140 --> 00:16:20.900
I actually really like that. I didn't know that main gear used braces like that

00:16:20.900 --> 00:16:25.180
to hold the GPUs in place, but that's Wicked Smart. Oh my goodness.

00:16:26.100 --> 00:16:29.820
That's just ludicrous. Okay. Is this like standing desk

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:33.500
when you're too cheap to get a standing desk or like? What? Human.

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:36.580
Right? Requires this, I f...

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:39.860
He's like... He's like...

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:45.180
Okay, I think it might actually be too tall even for you.

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.

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.

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.

00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:02.500
It is a bike stand, right? This thing? Stand, yeah. Like a repair stand.

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.

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.

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?

00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:19.900
Like, could I... I'm not done here, I'm not done here yet.

00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:24.420
You're getting distracted again. Yeah, right. Just reusing your old solid-time drive.

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

00:17:30.100 --> 00:17:33.620
to keep that 7800X3D cool. I think I was told for clearance reasons

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.

00:17:38.820 --> 00:17:42.460
See, there's all the wiring that we need to build a functioning computer.

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...

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.

00:17:49.860 --> 00:17:54.540
Oh. We're not gonna be here all day.

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?

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.

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:07.340
Okay. So now you can, without like breaking your poor back,

00:18:07.340 --> 00:18:12.020
is this a fancy bike? This is like a mid-tier, not that fancy.

00:18:12.020 --> 00:18:15.820
Okay, so no carbon fiber, but... No, no, no. It's like, yeah, aluminum.

00:18:15.820 --> 00:18:18.900
It's hard to find a really big bike. I was gonna say.

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:22.100
Yeah. Slim pickings. Right.

00:18:22.100 --> 00:18:24.780
You are not building a computer again. Oh yeah.

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

00:18:33.260 --> 00:18:36.380
unless I point my toes. And that chair's too short for me.

00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:42.060
Yeah, okay. And second of all, my eyes are about this height.

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.

00:18:46.620 --> 00:18:50.900
So I'll just adopt Adam Sondergaard's computer using posture.

00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:58.540
Well, he's gonna have to throw it away then.

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:03.820
Doesn't fit. Jordan says that I have to talk about the tech sack.

00:19:03.820 --> 00:19:08.020
It holds lots of stuff. Okay, you can get our precision screwdriver in there.

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.

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.

00:19:19.780 --> 00:19:23.860
This is my standard bit set. This is my Imperial hex.

00:19:23.860 --> 00:19:27.940
This is my metric hex. And then this one is my specialty.

00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:31.260
So I got my tri-wings, all that kind of stuff in there.

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.

00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:38.140
Just go until they don't go anymore. It was clicking.

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:42.180
Yeah, that's fine. That's good, it's a good click. I think fans next.

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:44.300
Yeah, let's do fans.

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.

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:59.340
Look how far bent over he is. An awful posture.

00:19:59.340 --> 00:20:02.340
You guys just watch. He's gonna be a wizard with the power supply cables.

00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:05.420
He's gonna plug those things in so fast, so flawlessly.

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:09.980
Give me that power supply, let's go. So that goes in the case now.

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:13.820
How are you doing, Jordan? Good. We have a lovely rug for us here.

00:20:13.820 --> 00:20:17.660
Oh, we got a rug. Beautiful. Where'd the rug come from?

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:21.620
Seems cheap. Home Depot, I think, I don't know. Home Depot, nice.

00:20:21.620 --> 00:20:24.740
It's Jonathan Y. John Finney? John Finney?

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.

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.

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:38.340
Let's go, Reese and Jordan. Can you guys help Lucas out here?

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.

00:20:42.020 --> 00:20:45.540
You let Reese. He's got an interior design background.

00:20:45.540 --> 00:20:48.740
He's got you covered. Yes. No?

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:51.860
Okay, sure. Absolutely the experts. You can put anything on your residence.

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?

00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:01.260
Oh, okay. There's little bricky things in there. There's little guys right here. Cool.

00:21:01.260 --> 00:21:04.300
How you doing over here? Wow, good progress. Power supply is in there.

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.

00:21:07.860 --> 00:21:10.860
Is that what it looks like? Is it not? I don't know.

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.

00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:17.700
You just have to trust Reese. Trust the process. Or don't.

00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:22.740
That's totally fine. Sure, let's see. Well, he didn't seem very confident there.

00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:25.860
That was a pretty pregnant pause there. Do you want to?

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.

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:33.540
Nope, yes. I told you what I think. Yeah, let's put it there.

00:21:33.540 --> 00:21:36.620
That sounds good. Beauty. Good enough for me.

00:21:36.620 --> 00:21:40.060
You can talk from his tone of voice. He's super happy with this decision.

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

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.

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,

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,

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.

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:07.580
We're out there again. Lucas, you're looking. They told you not to look.

00:22:07.580 --> 00:22:11.540
We specifically said it. They said not to watch. Please don't look.

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

00:22:17.060 --> 00:22:20.580
to look away from right now. My mom always used to do that.

00:22:20.580 --> 00:22:24.300
She'd refer to two of us as tweedledy and tweedledum,

00:22:24.300 --> 00:22:28.420
and she'd never specify which one of us was dumb in that moment.

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:32.140
It was usually me. Well, it breaks the place up. Yeah, what do you think?

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:35.500
It's good. It's nice. Looks level. Thank you.

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

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:44.060
transformations, I think, because we really did start with a very flat slate.

00:22:44.060 --> 00:22:47.420
Also, I got you this. Ultimate upgrade. Oh, thank you. Wow.

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

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,

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

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:02.160
where it kind of lines up and just go for it.

00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:08.860
Seems to be the theme today. What are you saying about the fine work they did

00:23:08.860 --> 00:23:12.960
mounting that Lego art on the wall? Okay, well, I'm sorry.

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

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.640
hanging here above your fans. There go the standards.

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.880
Well, yeah, well, yeah. You told me not to bother hooking up the RGB anyway,

00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.920
didn't you? That's what I spent this whole time doing.

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:32.360
I totally forgot. I just, it's a reflex.

00:23:32.360 --> 00:23:36.360
I just see cables. I hooked them up. I don't think. Woo!

00:23:36.360 --> 00:23:39.800
See, but now that you've got the RGB, right? No regrets, right?

00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:43.480
How could I ever turn this off? Yeah, exactly. There she goes.

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.

00:23:48.760 --> 00:23:52.800
Okay, let's continue. Where, hey, where do you want this?

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.

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.

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.760
Okay, I do want to log in. I guess you'll need a keyboard.

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.

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:14.440
These are the, these are from iBuyPower. Those are the free ones from Sammy's PC

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.440
that he bought at the Christmas party. Yeah, okay.

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.800
They're awful, yeah. Yeah, okay. There you go. Well, I mean, you know,

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.

00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:31.480
Kinda chose this one, kinda, you know, just winging it. Really?

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

00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:39.920
any of your taste in keyboards anyway. Probably, yeah. Okay.

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:46.040
I mean, that sounds a little better than the Apple keyboard, doesn't it?

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,

00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:53.360
but. Okay, what'd you go with for mouse?

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:57.000
Razer Death Outter V3 Pro. All right.

00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.600
I mean, realistically, it's like Rocket League, so like. Yeah.

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?

00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.280
For right, yeah, yeah, yeah, for you. Okay, good.

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.

00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.600
Looks clean. Do you not have a mouse pad? No.

00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:19.960
Lucas. I got a table. What? Ugh.

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.440
I don't even have one at work anyway. Either.

00:25:23.560 --> 00:25:27.400
But. Lucas, I grant you my on-camera permission

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.960
to steal a mouse pad from work.

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.

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.120
I think I have one in my closet. There's one in the closet?

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.

00:25:42.280 --> 00:25:47.680
Wait, you totally have, like, one of the really nice designer edition LTT mouse pads.

00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:53.640
Great. I can't wait to use it.

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:58.360
Okay, there. See, oh, look how much nicer that is.

00:25:58.360 --> 00:26:02.080
See, does that not feel better on the mouse? Not really.

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:02.920
But thanks.

00:26:05.520 --> 00:26:06.840
It's not minimalist enough.

00:26:08.520 --> 00:26:14.840
Come on, that can't be the reason. We really are a fascinating group of people.

00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:18.240
What are you trying to say? That's actually it. Yeah.

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.320
I'm trying to say that I get it, Lucas. I see you.

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,

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.120
but, you know, I just like, things clean and organized a bit, you know?

00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:32.240
Brother, you didn't have a couch till your mother made you buy one.

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

00:26:37.360 --> 00:26:39.440
has had the most serial killer abode?

00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.160
You're really interested to see the audience debate it.

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.

00:26:48.040 --> 00:26:51.080
Under the bed? Maybe one of these clothes.

00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:54.600
Dude, are you seeing this? That is so cool.

00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:58.320
I was just sitting here and it was all like, hey, look, I'm upside down.

00:26:58.320 --> 00:26:59.620
That is sick.

00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:02.600
Look at it go.

00:27:04.840 --> 00:27:07.880
So cool. Whoa, no way, okay, what are we looking at?

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.

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.

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:20.640
Okay. But it's just very mesmerizing to look at. It's a little loud, hey?

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,

00:27:25.040 --> 00:27:28.080
it's kind of loud. Could you, like, mount it behind,

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?

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:38.320
Oh, no way, that is so cool! I just have a bunch of, like, demos, basically.

00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:41.520
All right, you ready to show us your rocket-leaf skills?

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:47.080
That's pretty cool! Okay, well, you're definitely better than me already.

00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:52.040
You could remember the controls without having to lift them up, so that's a step.

00:27:52.040 --> 00:27:55.120
My son and his friends do stuff in this game that I'm just, like...

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.

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?

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.680
Because then, yeah, you might beat him. Okay, casual, like, 400 FPS.

00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.200
I can see why you don't play on the PlayStation. Yeah, yeah. Well, also, Ultrawide,

00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.520
the PlayStation can't even do that, I think.

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.

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

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.720
Ultrawide displays these days, though. Ultrawide monitors.

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.

00:28:31.840 --> 00:28:35.520
Like a plug. It's ironic, because so much movie content is Ultrawide.

00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:38.360
You'd think they would just have Ultrawide TVs. It's...

00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:43.160
Yeah, hey, TV manufacturers. Wake up.

00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:47.060
Where's, like, Ultrawide TVs? You guys are looking for some excuse

00:28:47.060 --> 00:28:49.160
to charge a premium in this space, right?

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.480
Bring out another, nobody wants a rolling TV.

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:57.480
Wide cinematic TV, huh? You're welcome.

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?

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?

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.280
You didn't have a TV. Nothing, it was in a box, in a box.

00:29:12.280 --> 00:29:14.560
So it was just Apple. No TV.

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.

00:29:20.520 --> 00:29:23.080
There's definitely frequencies it struggles with.

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.

00:29:30.040 --> 00:29:33.400
It's got a little bit. Yeah, I think you can buy, like, additional,

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.680
like, add-ons like Bluetooth, right? Yep, yeah, you can get a sub

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,

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.560
that would help, but it seems like you don't care.

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:51.120
You probably have to wall mount them. Are we really gonna keep this rug like this?

00:29:52.760 --> 00:29:56.480
I don't know. Probably not. Yeah.

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:59.480
We'll see how it goes. Okay, cool. And you'll move the couch closer.

00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.800
Once we leave and stop criticizing him,

00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:10.200
but with that said, I don't actually think there's too much to criticize.

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:16.760
I thought this was a super practical upgrade, laser-focused PC upgrade, adding that 7800X3D,

00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:21.720
getting, like, 400 frames per second in Rocket League, where every competitive edge counts.

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:24.520
We've got a really nice upgrade to your bike stand.

00:30:25.800 --> 00:30:30.680
The bike is... Need some work, yeah, yeah. TBD, but, dude, you went from zero

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?

00:30:35.280 --> 00:30:38.800
And then Breakfast Club? Yeah, that sounds good.

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.

00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.760
I finally watched Breakfast Club last night. An absolute piece of garbage.

00:30:46.760 --> 00:30:49.160
Literally nothing happens. Nobody learns anything.

00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:53.080
Oh no, I'm gonna get attacked on the internet.

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:59.200
If you enjoyed this video, hey, shout out AMD for sponsoring the $5,000

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.840
AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade series. If you guys are looking for another video to watch,

00:31:02.840 --> 00:31:06.600
why don't you go check out Matthews?

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.
