What do you think good energy, you know, I think you could go a little less energy 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:21.400 I think you're gonna turn people off with this little less energy. Yeah, okay. I'll like channel my Tina Belcher 00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:27.840 The last time I built a $500 gaming PC with brand new parts was 00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:32.200 Four years ago, and if I'm being honest it kind of sucked 00:09:32.920 --> 00:09:43.040 It wasn't my fault All right, I think I can do this you got this if you were a spice you'd be flour love it 00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:50.040 That's from Bob's burgers, which he refuses to watch because I downloaded it or I bought it.

I think it is actually possible. I think it is actually possible to hit someone by just 00:10:13.880 --> 00:10:20.160 Bewildering them so hard that they hit themselves. It's like a telekinesis. It's like a spell. It's like a magic spell 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.920 You should work on it. Yeah, I don't think I could ever be as good as you 00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:29.640 All right, all right 00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:35.680 This guy he's can't take him anywhere 00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:43.440 That's why you that's why I'm locked here.

Yeah, so I'm like this maybe maybe a little bit give me a little bit more of that power supply 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.400 Oh, yeah, beautiful, and then I'm gonna go 00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:19.560 Not anymore Intel has changed the game with their word blah blah blah, so we'll go over there 00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:27.520 Does that kind of make sense for the intro? Okay, and then you guys have all the stuff to like cut away to right and do I have cues in the script for when you're 00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:31.960 Doing that or do I really need them? I'm gonna be just talking with Dan about when we're cutting away 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.520 There's only the two parts because there's no green man overlay for the sponsor or whatever 00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:39.520 Nope, you're just gonna straight shoot it to the camera. Oh is oh, okay 00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:43.440 The only thing we're cutting away for is when we talk about 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.920 The case and the GPU. Okay. Hold on.

Are you making it awkward now? 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:04.000 You're making it awkward Okay, let's see timing last time I built a $500 gaming PC with brand new parts was four years ago 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.520 If I'm being honest kind of sucked wasn't my fault at that budget. I could only afford the lowest card in the aisle 00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:11.520 Okay, so about seven 00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:17.360 Okay, I Just read whatever's on the prompter 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.360 I 00:12:24.920 --> 00:12:26.920 Don't actually know anything about computers 00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:30.040 Okay, I'm gonna put this one away 00:12:31.560 --> 00:12:34.300 All them wrinkles.

You know what? Oh, I forgot this is 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:12.080 Snap ARM 55% is a lot not a lot for the whole stream. What am I even doing? 00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:16.840 All right, let's put this away. Actually, I'm gonna put this here and it can charge while we do this 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.440 Maybe will it fit? 00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:26.920 Yeah, okay, it's charging perfect. So now I will have battery later in my battery bank 00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:30.560 My battery savings account 00:13:35.160 --> 00:13:39.080 Oh, yeah, he doesn't have the belt.

It wasn't my fault 00:16:46.520 --> 00:16:52.440 I mean at that budget I could only afford the lowest card in NVIDIA's GTX gaming lineup and 00:16:52.440 --> 00:17:00.080 I paired it with the lowest chip in AMD's Ryzen 3000 series and even with those compromises 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:05.360 We ended up blowing the budget and we were stuck running at low to medium settings at 1080p 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:12.680 Well, not any more Intel has changed the low-budget gaming computer scene with the release of their 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.680 $250 arc B580 thanks to this GPU right here 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:24.360 Everything that you guys see on the table is brand new hardware and came to a total of 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:32.400 $540. Okay. Okay. Okay. We still broke the budget, but we broke it by less and 00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:39.340 If you're willing to put your trust in some brands that we've never heard of you can get the same performance as us 00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:43.360 brand new for $500 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:48.720 Let's start building but not until after I tell you about our sponsor green man gaming 00:17:48.760 --> 00:17:51.960 They are running their holiday sale until January 10th 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:58.080 Including big savings like 20% off helldivers to 74% off red dead to ultimate 00:17:58.120 --> 00:18:05.680 Sorry, you didn't put redemption in there and I've got confused red dead redemption to ultimate edition and even more award-winning games 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:12.920 Like God of War Ragnarok Head to the link in the description to find out more about the sale and stick around because we're going to be browsing 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:19.120 Green man gaming and having you guys help us pick some games to test after we finish our build 00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:25.960 Let's not waste any time and jump right into our CPU of choice. I mean at this kind of budget here 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.200 I'm using the term choice a little bit loosely here 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:35.320 Let's have a look at the CPU that AMD was willing to give us at a price that we can afford the Ryzen 5 00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:43.360 5500 see here's the thing AMD doesn't really make new Ryzen 3 processors for the retail market anymore 00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:51.280 We did find some relatively current ones, but they were only am only and not accessible if you're building your own PC 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:58.240 The good news is that by choosing an older Ryzen 5. We're still getting pretty good bang for our buck 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.300 We get six cores 12 threads boost clocks to 4.2 gigahertz and 00:19:03.020 --> 00:19:10.420 AMD's somewhat Aging but still quite potent Zen 3 architecture. This cost us 00:19:11.080 --> 00:19:17.680 $79 and Thankfully includes a cooler meaning that we don't have to spend budget on one later as for our motherboard 00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:21.160 Well, I'm gonna be completely honest with you guys 00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:24.560 I'll be finding out in real time if this was a good choice 00:19:24.800 --> 00:19:30.680 We literally fired up PC part picker and sorted low to high the as rock a 00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:35.560 520m hdv micro was still a whopping 00:19:36.800 --> 00:19:44.640 $70 How is it that even cheap motherboards are so expensive these days and what are we even getting for features here? 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.240 Let's do an unboxing Andy old-school unboxing style. We get 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:50.880 two SATA cables 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.880 An I o shield 00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:01.320 Whoo, that's not Halloween. Why am I doing spooky voice? Okay, we got a manual. Let's see 00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:13.200 No words. Ah, we get an m.2 screw 00:20:13.760 --> 00:20:19.720 Button battery safety notice and we get the board itself. I am expecting this thing to be I 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:27.080 Actually don't know what I'm expecting Am I expecting it to be basic because it's the cheapest motherboard on the market? 00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:31.560 Or am I expecting it to be decent because I paid $80 for it? 00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:35.480 No, $70 either way. Oh, you know what? 00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:40.280 Actually compared to the budget boards of my younger years 00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:42.280 I 00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:50.920 Bump the table as I was walking around it. I managed to snipe my mute button 00:20:51.520 --> 00:20:56.680 Check that out that right there my friends. That's that skill. All right 00:20:57.080 --> 00:21:04.080 So we get actually what looks like probably either a three plus two or four plus one phase VRM design 00:21:04.560 --> 00:21:07.960 Which makes sense that it would have somewhat decent VRMs on it 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.600 Given that it does have socket a m4 and technically is compatible with even some pretty high-draught chips 00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:15.960 We don't have really any cooling for it, but 00:21:16.560 --> 00:21:21.160 Hey, at least it's not one of those boards where it has the through holes for cooling 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:25.720 But then just doesn't come with a cooler because it's a cost-down one. So you look at it and you're like 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:34.040 Clearly the idea was to put cooling on here is that because it needed it or because it was 00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:38.080 Aesthetic hard to say we only get two dim slots 00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:43.880 But that is pretty normal for a lower-end board and honestly speaking on modern platforms most of the time 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:49.640 I probably wouldn't use all four dim slots anyway. We've got a couple of PCIe slots 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:57.000 That one is at least full x16 and we get m.2, which is nice to see four SATA ports front USB 3 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:01.720 But no type C couple USB 2s actually a pretty complete 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.160 overall package Oh 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:11.560 Whoa, I owe. Oh, wow. Wow. You get you get some modern stuff 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.760 Okay, you get a handful of USB 3 ports gigabit LAN 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:22.120 You know audio jacks, but no man You get some retro stuff on here to to go along with your HDMI. You get DVI 00:22:22.840 --> 00:22:29.680 DV ID specifically you get VGA PS 2 for that classic keyboard you're rocking and a couple USB 2 ports 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:37.680 Frankly speaking Not bad Like there's nothing here from a gaming standpoint, but I'm looking at going 00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:49.960 Yeah, I'm as long as it runs stably and doesn't have any serious problems with it 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:57.320 I think I'm actually okay with this now Elijah you did mention that there were some cheaper boards correct 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:01.480 We actually found some on new egg for as low as $43 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:10.120 $43, but they okay. There's got to be a reason we didn't choose them. Let's go ahead and let's fire up the old the old 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:17.440 fresh egg The old not aged, you know fertilized and hatched egg 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:25.520 It's new I got it. Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to be helpful. Okay components and storage come on come on over here, Andy 00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:33.800 Let's find the cheapest The cheapest a m4 motherboard we can I want one that's in stock 00:23:33.800 --> 00:23:37.800 I want one that's sold by new egg and I want one that is brand new 00:23:39.520 --> 00:23:42.760 Discount current promotion you what the heck is useful links? 00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:47.080 Combo up savings warranty. What is what does warranty mean? Oh? 00:23:48.080 --> 00:23:51.560 Okay, okay, that's cool. You can select the warranty thing 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.800 Availability discount dang it. Where is ice? I swear 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:03.400 I found this before Started the stream and now I can't find it anymore. I want to not refurbished one 00:24:04.760 --> 00:24:06.760 Sort by lowest price 00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:11.620 Do you know how to find that wait no way 00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:18.600 Elijah yes, sir the cheapest thing they have is 94 dollars now. What the heck is going on here? 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.920 Seller are you on Canadian or are you on no? I'm on calm. Oh 00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:29.720 Oh That's That is actually not what I was expecting to happen here 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.800 It's kind of funny because remember the brands of those boards were brands 00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:38.040 We didn't recognize and we kind of made a joke in script review that they might vanish in a week. Yeah, I 00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:43.240 Guess those brands vanished within the week. No, there's no way. There's no way. We're gonna find it 00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.600 We're gonna find it. Do you have a link to the boards? 00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:53.360 Not from those cheap ones. No Show more. Okay. Oh my goodness. Look at some of these brands. There's hoeing gager 00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:01.200 You see this Andy We got hoeing gager brand. We've got ecom hopper. I found a 50 we've got 00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:07.200 NFH Zed P. Okay. Oh, hold on. I think it's this one. I think I got it 00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:12.600 Yep, that's the same one dude. So it's actually gone up in price. It's gone up in price 00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:16.680 the the 00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:21.160 One aunty one aunty. Oh, I have Andy Andy 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.880 help me 00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:32.920 Like no All right. Well, it's $56 now for one of these. Oh, dude, that would only save us like 00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:38.160 15 bucks hamburgers, all right 00:25:38.760 --> 00:25:46.840 Well, anyway We're gonna see if we can end up under 500 bucks either way. Let's go ahead and get our CPU installed here 00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:51.480 In case we don't find the yeah, oh, it was $43 before 00:25:52.040 --> 00:25:56.560 Okay, for those of you who have never seen how to install an AM4 CPU, this is gonna be a treat 00:25:57.080 --> 00:26:05.400 So you lift up the ARM you do the thing. Oh, yeah, there you go. Got that triangle right there. Mmm. The wish is golden triangle 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.960 Would you eat golden triangles breakfast cereal? Oh, yeah, because I think I would I 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:16.840 Be super down for some golden triangles. I think that's a pretty I think that's a pretty promising 00:26:17.560 --> 00:26:26.360 promising cereal name All right. Well, I get this cooler installed. Oh my god. Where did you find this cooler Elijah? It was in the stock file, Ben 00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:29.760 It's so dirty. Is it I grabbed the one that was on top 00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:36.520 The one you would get would be much cleaner Yeah 00:26:36.520 --> 00:26:43.480 See the thing is a lot of our CPUs are either samples from AMD which don't come with coolers or they're just 00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:49.200 They've been kicking around long enough that we've lost all the packaging and coolers and accessories and all that so 00:26:49.320 --> 00:26:53.680 This is just a random AMD stock cooler. Yours would probably look a little different 00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:59.400 Dan I think the script calls for me to do or the plan calls for me to do a merge message right about now 00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:02.960 Yeah, sure. I've got a new message. Should I explain what they are? Oh, yes 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:08.800 Yeah, merge messages are the way to interact with our live streams. All you got to do is go on LTT Store calm 00:27:08.800 --> 00:27:11.400 We've got a lot of great stuff that you can check out there right now 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:18.600 You can back order one of our precision screwdrivers and bit sets. You can pick up a regular screwdriver 00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:22.440 We've got lots of great clothing and apparel t-shirts hoodies. Oh 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.520 Oh wait, no, I think the cargo pants are out of stock. Whatever the point is we've got lots of stuff and 00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:33.020 Just add it to your cart and you'll see a little box to leave a merge message for the stream 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:39.800 It'll go to producer Dan who will forward it to me or throw it up on the on the stream 00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:44.160 Or forward it to someone else internally who can answer your question. Basically, he'll get you an answer 00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.840 Sometimes his answer is frankly speaking not great 00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:53.240 It's just whatever he can quickly type up when he's going through the flurry of merge messages 00:27:53.360 --> 00:28:00.120 But hey, at least you get something in return you get acknowledgement from Dan and you get your order in the mail 00:28:00.120 --> 00:28:04.620 Which is better than a lot of sort of throw money at the screen streamer things 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:09.640 So that's how merge messages work Dan. Do you want to show them how a curated one works? Sure 00:28:09.800 --> 00:28:13.360 Hey, LDE does Intel with their XE to graphics 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:19.080 Potentially make the cut and shift things for NVIDIA HQ to make them change their path. I 00:28:20.600 --> 00:28:24.160 Don't know. I really don't think so. I think that if I'm NVIDIA right now 00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:29.640 I am looking at XE as kind of like an interesting side show 00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:37.680 Because like all you got to do to figure out where NVIDIA's priorities lie is follow the money, right? 00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:48.320 so I Forget the exact mix right now because I haven't looked at it in a little bit and it's not the kind of thing that keeps me up at 00:28:48.320 --> 00:28:56.240 Night. I'm not an NVIDIA shareholder But what I can tell you is that there has been a big shift in their revenues between 00:28:56.760 --> 00:28:59.760 What used to make them a predominantly gaming? 00:28:59.760 --> 00:29:07.200 Oh and also professional visualization company to what they are now, which is a predominantly enterprise 00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.540 Compute company that has a gaming ARM 00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:21.200 Right now XE to is not any real threat to Intel's enterprise ambitions 00:29:22.080 --> 00:29:25.080 and So I just think they're probably 00:29:25.800 --> 00:29:33.680 Looking at this Kind of going okay. Well, this is a thing that exists and we're aware of I doubt there 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.800 I doubt it's going to I doubt it's going to result in any kind of 00:29:37.320 --> 00:29:46.320 Significant shift in strategy at NVIDIA with that said with that said NVIDIA has gotten to where they are by being 00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:51.440 ruthless competitors sometimes when it just like 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.760 Doesn't even matter when they could totally just let someone else have a bone 00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:06.080 They're like no, I will have all the meat and all the bones and all the broth and all the vegetables 00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:10.640 And everyone else can have nothing and that's gotten them to where they are today 00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:19.080 So you never know with NVIDIA. They might just ignore arc treat it as a complete non-threat 00:30:19.080 --> 00:30:25.720 I mean Intel is currently a ship without a captain even how is how can you take them that seriously? 00:30:26.360 --> 00:30:32.400 but They also might just go hmm someone else got a morsel 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.200 Let's cross them You never can't tell with those guys 00:30:37.800 --> 00:30:42.720 This mounting bracket is stuck and I'm doing my best to stall for time while I fix it 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:46.800 But I'm having a very difficult time with it. The ARM is 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.840 Stuck too high and it won't come down low enough to grab the to grab the thing Dan 00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:55.680 Do you have another merch message to help me stall with? Oh 00:30:57.320 --> 00:31:01.960 Good, I just one just came in. Oh nice wonderful. How do you know if you're in love? 00:31:02.600 --> 00:31:04.600 what 00:31:06.520 --> 00:31:11.000 What what kind of wait what is that a real merch message? That's not you made that up 00:31:11.320 --> 00:31:16.240 It'll pop up on the screen in a second. No way. It's from Bradley. Nobody sent that 00:31:16.840 --> 00:31:24.600 There it is. Oh It's real. He can't fake that to my knowledge. I don't lie. How do you know if you're in love? Well 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.960 Let me put it this way You see that special computer 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.720 You lock eyes for the first time 00:31:38.520 --> 00:31:43.800 She's running doom eternal Actually, that's a that's a bit of an older it's a bit of an older game, which is fine 00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:47.880 Which is fine. It's fine to be into the older computers some of them. They've 00:31:48.600 --> 00:31:54.600 They've really taken care of themselves and what that's okay. Sorry. This is really this is really coming off the rails here 00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.760 India Indiana Jones in the great circle. They I 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.760 Don't know I don't know how to answer that question. So instead I'm just going to talk about fixing this cooler 00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:12.680 It looks like it will require some disassembly so I've pulled out my 00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:18.800 LTT precision screwdriver that hopefully oh wait, do I even need I need to do this? Oh 00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:25.360 Goodness, I don't actually know if I need to take out this screw 00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:30.360 But I'm I believe that you just hook over one of them and then throw down the latch on the other side 00:32:30.360 --> 00:32:33.240 I don't think you have to remove that if you want to put it on the computer 00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:36.160 No, no, no, no, the problem is that this is stuck. Oh 00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:44.680 It won't come down So, no, no, I'm well aware of how to install an AMD stock cooler you guy 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.000 Thank you for that though. I 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:53.160 Was there when the AMD stock cooler was written Daniel Besser 00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:58.640 Geez goes on the motherboard. Yeah, thank you for that 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:04.800 Technically the CPU but so the issue is that I need to get in there. I've seen this before where it gets jammed 00:33:05.800 --> 00:33:11.840 Don't forget to put the CPU in first. So you guys thought you were tuning into a stream where we were going to be doing a 00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:21.640 Built computer build but instead you're getting the first ever AMD stock cooler tear down on LTT 00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:25.280 Are you kidding me? How does this come off? I? 00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:29.320 Just need to get I just need to get in there 00:33:30.840 --> 00:33:32.960 Okay, does the fan pop out or what? 00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:40.060 Are you even serious right now AMD? Yeah, no, there's plastic clips that hold the fan in so we're just gonna 00:33:40.800 --> 00:33:46.320 Bend those back ever so gently All the while cursing Elijah 00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:54.520 The new cooler out here. Nope No, what I want to do is defeat this one. It is now my arch nemesis 00:33:54.520 --> 00:33:59.000 Okay, I will give you two minutes before I called you two minutes. Yes, no way 00:33:59.080 --> 00:34:05.560 Well, I don't want to drag this on too long line Oh, that's what the people came here to see they came here to see tech tips. I'm glad they did 00:34:05.560 --> 00:34:10.840 But we have other things to shoot today. No, no, no. No, this is the only thing we're shooting today. Okay, there we go 00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.320 Okay, so why is it stuck? 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.120 Buddy get get it together here 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:23.000 Okay What are you stuck on oh? 00:34:23.680 --> 00:34:28.000 Oh Okay, so here's what happened 00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:35.680 the ARM Got up too much somehow someone jammed it so it's getting stuck on the fins here 00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:39.440 See that and this plastic tab right here 00:34:40.160 --> 00:34:44.560 Is preventing it from moving over enough to not be stuck on the fins? 00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.600 So what we got to do is we just got to kind of 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:52.480 force it a little Get oh my god get out of the way 00:34:54.280 --> 00:35:01.640 Hey Even serious right now buddy. Oh, it's not no. No. No, it's much worse. It's much worse 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:07.320 So this piece right here you see that is supposed to be in between here and 00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:10.240 Instead it's stuck on one of the fins 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:18.480 How did this happen How does this one I'm click oh 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:23.720 Yeah, there we go. Oh, I could have taken the whole thing off without undoing those screws. There we go. Okay 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.520 There we go. So now we can bend this fin back 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:33.400 You following Andy? This can go in between there where it's supposed to be 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.560 Okay, so it's got that that slide so you can stretch it over the thing 00:35:38.600 --> 00:35:42.400 This can come back on there we go 00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:46.680 All right, take that stock cooler. You just got tech tipped 00:35:48.120 --> 00:35:54.320 You're fixed Well, it's not necessarily fixed yet. I could still break these little plastic clips while I'm putting it back together 00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:00.280 There we go there we go 00:36:03.560 --> 00:36:10.440 That is how it's supposed to work supposed to be able to come down in order to fit over the thing 00:36:12.600 --> 00:36:17.440 All right Then you got any more merge messages. Yeah, sure. I get a couple here hit me 00:36:17.720 --> 00:36:22.360 How do you think AMD will compete with the 50 series and the Intel B series? 00:36:23.640 --> 00:36:32.160 Dude, I Don't know the more I look at it and obviously, you know, I don't know anything about the performance of 50 series yet 00:36:33.040 --> 00:36:38.680 Certainly nothing concrete. We don't have cards in hand and even if we did I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about them 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:45.280 I don't know anything about AMD's upcoming cards other than that. I could probably speculate that 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:52.840 just like with the PlayStation 5 Pro we're probably going to see improved upscaling 00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:59.400 Because AMD and Sony seemed to make it very clear that there was some next-generation 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:08.440 Hardware going on there So upscaling and ray tracing I would expect to be very much improved in AMD's next-generation products other than that 00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:14.880 I don't really know anything concrete about them. There is the rumor that AMD is basically 00:37:15.720 --> 00:37:18.880 Not gonna bother with the very high-end anymore 00:37:19.560 --> 00:37:23.080 And they've done that before with some success. They've actually done it twice 00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.400 They skipped having high-end cards in their old 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.320 3000 series like Radeon HD 00:37:30.200 --> 00:37:35.080 3000 series so their top-end card was the 3870 with that like weird 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:43.080 Frankenstein crossfire card that had two 3870s on it acting as their flagship and then they did it again with Polaris 00:37:43.120 --> 00:37:51.120 So the 500 series Where the 580 or I think technically they had a 590, but it was basically a 580 00:37:51.120 --> 00:37:53.920 So the 580 was their top-end card that time 00:37:54.600 --> 00:37:58.560 and they managed to they managed to by focusing on just 00:37:59.200 --> 00:38:04.480 kind of that That affordable mainstream price point they managed to gain 00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:09.960 I don't know a little bit of momentum and they came back with high-end cards, but then 00:38:10.520 --> 00:38:14.720 They still haven't managed to kind of keep that momentum. So I don't know what to tell you 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:23.000 AMD AMD's GPU team just hasn't been able to execute the same way that their CPU team has been able to and without being 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.480 Embedded in that team. I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly 00:38:27.160 --> 00:38:32.920 Why that is I can just tell you that what I'm observing from the outside is that they're having a heck of a time with it 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:37.080 and it's it's honestly kind of frustrating from my perspective because 00:38:37.640 --> 00:38:42.340 In some ways, I don't even I don't even think they're doing like a horrible job, right? 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:46.680 It's not like they don't have competitive products out there. It's just 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.920 They just somehow don't seem to be executing they can't get the sales 00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:58.560 All right, here we go, sorry I 00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.960 There we go, I couldn't reach this screw anymore once that was back on there 00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:13.360 There we go. All right, Dan hit me again Chuck why does LGT store not wait? No, I wasn't done yet. Never mind. I lied 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.440 so long story short I 00:39:18.200 --> 00:39:25.120 suspect strongly That AMD is probably I think we're I think based on the rumors 00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:30.840 We're probably gonna see a repeat of that strategy where they kind of target a mainstream price point and 00:39:31.520 --> 00:39:36.120 You know for better or for worse, we're gonna we're gonna see how that goes and then 00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:44.640 As for Intel, I think they've I don't think they've given any real indication so far that we're gonna see a higher-end arc 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:50.760 So it looks like Intel is gonna be gunning for that that value segment that like e-sports gamer segment 00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.280 as for NVIDIA I 00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:58.960 Think it's very clear that they're extremely comfortable at the at the top of the roost 00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:04.280 Maybe what we'll see is a future where 00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:13.720 NVIDIA is completely dominant at the top mostly dominant in the mid-range and then AMD and Intel are kind of fighting it out in the value segment 00:40:13.720 --> 00:40:17.960 Which I think would be really good for gamers because you'd effectively have some competition 00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:26.480 everywhere other than the you know 1500 to $2,000 cards where I mean realistically if people can afford that then 00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:30.360 What do they need the competition for anyway, apparently they can afford that 00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:35.800 Okay Are you kidding me? I seem to have re broken 00:40:37.120 --> 00:40:39.520 No, no, no, I will fix it 00:40:40.240 --> 00:40:45.920 Dan will give me one more merge message and then I will I will quickly I will quickly fix and elate it 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:51.040 Why does LTD store not have Canadian dollars for pricing for fellow Canadian shoppers? 00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:57.040 That's a good question the reason is that all of our costs are in US dollars 00:40:57.520 --> 00:41:03.680 So all of our pricing is effectively derived from our costs in US dollars 00:41:04.080 --> 00:41:11.920 Meaning that if we had pricing in Canadian dollars, it would simply be derived from our USD pricing anyway 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:22.360 So it doesn't matter So as much as you can kind of look at the pricing and go oh, I could totally afford this if only they priced in Canadian dollars 00:41:22.680 --> 00:41:28.720 That's not how it works The way it would work is our pricing would just be our pricing in US dollars 00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:34.000 Times the exchange rate to Canadian dollars because our costs are in US dollars 00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:38.400 so pricing it in Canadian the one benefit would be that 00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.960 There's no exchange rate on the credit card, which is that is truly a good benefit 00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:50.080 however maintaining an entire set of different storefront 00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:58.960 for Canadian dollars when The cold hard truth is that Canadian shoppers are a small small small fraction of our base is 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:04.560 Is not something that our poor accounting department wants to deal with at this current time 00:42:05.080 --> 00:42:13.560 Someday we may open up multi currency It is a feature that Shopify enables, but it is not a free feature that Shopify enables 00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:19.000 I forget if it's first party or if it's through partners and so it's not 00:42:21.720 --> 00:42:26.600 It's not necessarily something that will actually result in lower operating costs or lower pricing 00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:30.600 Because if we're absorbing the cost somewhere either running this feature 00:42:31.160 --> 00:42:35.320 Then it's either that or you absorb the cost in your credit card fee 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:40.400 Basically every time we've run the numbers. It's pretty much come out in the wash and there's not much point in doing it 00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:48.560 You know what there is a point in doing continuing this bloody PC build our total is now a hundred and fifty dollars that is 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.480 more than I would want to spend having only two parts, but 00:42:54.040 --> 00:42:58.240 That's kind of what we're stuck with because modern generation rise and threes don't exist anymore 00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:01.840 So let's move on and talk about our RAM. Ah, yes 00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:10.360 this was once again determined by Low to high pricing with a filter for kits that run at at least 3200 megatransitters per second 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:13.800 I got to say guys. I am very excited to install the 00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:24.000 Silicon power x power turbines we've got two 8 gig sticks which I would consider to be pretty 00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:31.080 Minimal for modern gaming. This is one of those situations where in an ideal world 00:43:31.080 --> 00:43:38.480 I would actually like very much to be able to put one 16 gig stick into a system like this and know that I'm going to 00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:46.080 Upgrade to 32 gigs running in dual channel later, but every time I talk about that these days people get so mad at me 00:43:46.080 --> 00:43:52.560 So there you go guys There's your two 8 gig sticks running in dual channel. You'll get the full performance today 00:43:52.560 --> 00:43:56.800 But what it means is if you ever wanted to upgrade from 16 gigs to 32 gigs 00:43:56.840 --> 00:44:01.160 You're gonna have to just chuck these and put in two 16 gig sticks 00:44:01.160 --> 00:44:07.160 And I do understand that not running in dual channel these days is a significant performance penalty 00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.120 Even compared to you know back in the day when many people used to do that 00:44:12.120 --> 00:44:16.560 Just throw in one stick for now and then assume you're gonna throw in a second stick later when RAM got cheaper 00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:24.040 But I Don't know I think personally I would take the compromise 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.480 especially because like a big part of I 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:34.040 Don't know what I because a big part of the reason that we did it back then too was that 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.920 RAM prices were kind of always going down 00:44:38.560 --> 00:44:44.960 Whereas now they do mostly always go down, but they're especially for DDR4. They're kind of already rock bottom 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.480 So there's no like oh, it's gonna get cheaper later so I can upgrade for a fraction of the price 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:52.680 So I don't know maybe that's something where for another you know 00:44:54.600 --> 00:44:59.880 $19 or what would we pay for this thing like 18 bucks or something like that? It was very cheap. It was like 21 00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:03.640 I think yeah, so for another 20 bucks. Maybe it's worth it to go 00:45:05.160 --> 00:45:08.440 $560 and just get all the RAM you need today now storage 00:45:08.720 --> 00:45:15.160 This one's gonna be a bit of a longer story. See we almost went full Intel for this build 00:45:15.160 --> 00:45:22.440 Which would have been kind of hilarious doing a $500 value gaming all Intel build. What even timeline am I on? 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.080 We were thinking maybe we'd use a 12 100 f CPU 00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:35.200 But the problem is the cheapest Intel motherboards that we could find from reputable brands did not support NVMe SSDs and 00:45:35.680 --> 00:45:42.960 In present year, I just don't feel right putting a SATA SSD into a brand-new build if I can avoid it 00:45:43.040 --> 00:45:50.920 There are situations where SATA SSDs make sense say for example if you had already filled your m.2 slot on a motherboard like this 00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:55.960 Yeah, by all means add a SATA SSD, but if we're talking your boot drive 00:45:56.600 --> 00:46:05.240 You're gonna want to use an NVMe drive I mean their priced pretty much the same these days because most of the cost is just the flash itself 00:46:05.680 --> 00:46:13.960 so We did avoid using a SATA SSD and we went with this Patriot P 300 PCA e gen 3 m.2 00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:20.840 It's 512 gigs which I mean I consider a great value considering how much Apple would charge for that 00:46:21.240 --> 00:46:28.360 Yeah, or whatever anyway jokes aside jokes aside 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:32.080 I know that 512 gigs is not the most space in the world 00:46:32.080 --> 00:46:36.120 In fact, I would even go as far as to say it's not really ideal 00:46:36.520 --> 00:46:40.160 Like it's enough that you could have some smaller games installed and maybe like 00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:44.000 One top tier game, you know like 00:46:44.560 --> 00:46:50.280 Final Fantasy 16 you pick that up from green man gaming and then a bunch of smaller games 00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.640 And that's basically all you can do but 00:46:55.920 --> 00:47:04.200 Your mic Anyway, the point is it's enough that you can at least get started and you can always you know add a hard drive or something 00:47:04.200 --> 00:47:09.400 Like that on one of the four SATA ports later, although with that said does this case even have hard drive? 00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:12.400 Okay, well, we'll get to the hard drive conversation later for now 00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:18.000 Let's get this SSD installed and I think we're due to check out some stuff on green man 00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:23.960 And let these guys tell us what games we're gonna play later. Absolutely. Okay, cool. Well, let's get the SSD installed real quick here 00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:28.120 I'm not monitoring chat. Are people enjoying the stream or yeah, seems very 00:47:28.640 --> 00:47:33.080 Very enjoyable. I hate it. There's a lot of people on YouTube. Oh, shoot. There's a lot of people watching 00:47:33.080 --> 00:47:38.300 Oh, yeah, that's the thing about streaming earlier in the day. Yeah, there's almost there's 18 and a half thousand people watching 00:47:38.300 --> 00:47:40.300 Oh, hey, what's up YouTube? 00:47:41.560 --> 00:47:45.240 All right, there we go boom M.2 installation 00:47:45.680 --> 00:47:52.320 Man, it's crazy. I never know what the right amount of instruction to give these days is like back in the day 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:58.520 We could kind of make the assumption that yeah You know most of our viewers are building a computer for the first time or whatever these days 00:47:58.680 --> 00:48:02.360 And there could be people that have been watching LTT for 15 years 00:48:02.640 --> 00:48:07.000 So if I'm sitting here going yeah, I take your I'm about to drive and put it in at an angle 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.640 Make sure it's snug put it down to in the screw like those guys are gonna get bored 00:48:10.640 --> 00:48:14.920 But then we also get feedback from people that are building a computer for the first time that are like whoa 00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:18.660 Whoa Dude slow down. I got no idea what's going on 00:48:20.720 --> 00:48:23.840 I almost wonder if there'd be some value to like 00:48:25.120 --> 00:48:34.720 Like creating a for basics Channel or something like that because we we tried to do some some basic stuff on the main channel back in the day and it just 00:48:36.600 --> 00:48:38.600 Did not fly 00:48:39.600 --> 00:48:45.840 The audience Like hated that I mean even the more recent how to build a PC last guide you'll ever need those videos 00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:53.920 Bomb out of the gate and then it's not till YouTube's like like recommended or up next and all their various 00:48:54.160 --> 00:48:58.360 Algorithms pick it up that they start to to get anybody watching them. All right 00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:02.000 Are we just going on to green man give me do you have screen cap like should I go do this over there? 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:05.840 We can if you'd like I was planning on you just doing on your laptop you picking three 00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:10.440 And then we'll do a poll on Floatplane for chat to pick one. I get to pick three. Yeah 00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:14.440 So let's look through three games that are available on green man. Okay, cool. Yeah, we can do that 00:49:15.040 --> 00:49:19.600 All right, cool. So Andy. Yeah, I guess I'll just turn this around and we'll hope that I don't get any 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:25.960 Notifications that are highly confidential by switching my teams to do not disturb. There we go. I 00:49:26.720 --> 00:49:29.720 do okay, is it just me but 00:49:30.520 --> 00:49:34.600 Like managing my status on chat apps. I can't 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:38.080 Okay, okay, it's not just me like I 00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:46.000 literally Can't like I see people that are like they have their status set for their vacation 00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.240 They've got their status set when they go home at the end of the day 00:49:49.240 --> 00:49:52.880 They got their status set when they're in a meeting. They're on a conference call. I'm like 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:58.720 Like guys is it full plane chat, is it just me 00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:03.040 It's Floatplane chat working it is oh 00:50:04.200 --> 00:50:06.760 Couple people said they agree. Is it doing the thing? Oh 00:50:08.120 --> 00:50:11.720 No, I just have to refresh the page. Okay, I'm gonna refresh the page because I 00:50:12.640 --> 00:50:18.540 Do not have enough brain cycles for that like I have no yeah, not just you okay 00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.840 Thank you. And yes. Yes, I know that you can have automatic ones 00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.760 But that only helps if you happen to be on your meeting in that app 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:32.560 Like I don't know and I'm sure you could build automations for like your calendar or whatever 00:50:32.560 --> 00:50:41.240 But I got to tell you with the number of people that have access to my calendar My calendar is a disaster like I would be in do not disturb or like in a meeting or in a shoot 00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:45.320 All the time and I don't even blame the people that that helped me with my calendar 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:51.200 Like I get it because a lot of the time but the amount of time that I take to do something is unpredictable 00:50:51.200 --> 00:50:58.600 Like for instance, I'm doing a gaming stream where I'm building like a basic computer with like six parts 00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:05.560 We've been streaming for over half an hour and all I've done is put a cooler on a motherboard and CPU and a RAM 00:51:05.560 --> 00:51:09.920 That's that's like nothing. I mean look poor Elijah is dying over here. He's dying 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:15.840 Yeah, because his boss is gonna be like yo Elijah. What the heck? Why is the stream taking so long? 00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:19.320 Don't you don't you make sure that coolers work before you give them to Linus? 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:25.480 Do you have any idea how important Linus is? See, I I never have those conversations because I think that's silly. I love fixing things 00:51:25.560 --> 00:51:30.640 But there's there's people there's people that have like performance targets to hit and they're all like Elijah 00:51:30.640 --> 00:51:36.720 Why are you taking so long? Why are we we need more Linus time? See you can see he's that to be fair 00:51:36.720 --> 00:51:41.360 This stream has a very high average viewership right now, so I'm good. My metrics are hit. I'm good 00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:47.960 Do you have metrics for that like I don't think for like we're basing things off some views and like how videos perform 00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:52.000 Oh, really? I think in the long term. We'll see how this stream does as a vaude. Oh, interesting 00:51:52.000 --> 00:52:01.000 But as of right now, this is there's a lot of people watching so this is good I know so little about how that stuff works these days now, but I don't actually have any direct reports 00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:05.840 So I just kind of stand here and I do my thing I fix coolers 00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:11.960 What am I supposed to be doing green man gaming?

There's a poll top two win God of War civilization six you suck at parking or XCOM 00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:16.040 So everyone on Floatplane can vote Kind of want to try you suck at parking too. I don't know 00:57:16.040 --> 00:57:19.320 I might just hang around and play games for a bit after I build my computer 00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:22.320 I mean, that's my reward for building a new computer as I get to play games, right? 00:57:23.040 --> 00:57:28.120 Well, we're actually planning a stream We're doing a stream. Oh, that's right. We are doing a stream 00:57:28.720 --> 00:57:37.760 We can promote the stream So just like we did back when Intel launched their arc alchemist first generation cards where we sat down and we played 00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:42.560 Basically any game you guys asked us to play on arc to see whether it would work 00:57:42.560 --> 00:57:45.640 Or if there'd be any weird artifacts or anything like that 00:57:45.640 --> 00:57:48.800 We're gonna be doing the same thing again this time with battle mage 00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:52.160 And we've got some ideas to kind of streamline it 00:57:52.160 --> 00:57:56.920 So our goal is to get through like double to three times as many games 00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:00.640 I have no idea if we're gonna be able to pull it off because 00:58:01.200 --> 00:58:08.520 between unskippable loading scenes and Actually getting to the point in the game where you take control of the character and like all that kind of stuff 00:58:09.120 --> 00:58:12.000 There could be some there could be some challenges 00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:18.040 But we're gonna do our best we're gonna try okay, so no I only have God of War 00:58:18.040 --> 00:58:22.240 I don't have God of War Ragnarok, so I'm gonna go ahead and just add that to my cart real quick on green man 00:58:23.600 --> 00:58:30.720 Thanks again green man gaming for sponsoring the stream Do I have any like talking points for them or anything like that? It's just their holiday sale till January 10th 00:58:30.720 --> 00:58:38.340 Go check it out. They're adding more games Up until that date as well, so keep checking back in you know every other day or so heck. Yeah 00:58:39.040 --> 00:58:46.720 Okay, do I want the digital deluxe? I don't think I care I could just get the regular God of War Ragnarok right I save eight bucks 00:58:47.600 --> 00:58:51.560 Okay, cool View cart wait 00:58:51.560 --> 00:58:58.360 Which which board did I say I had you wanted God of War civilization six you suck at parking and an ex-com game 00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:03.240 Oh, that's right. Yeah, and it was an ex-com anthology. Okay, that actually looks like a pretty good deal 00:59:04.080 --> 00:59:09.720 Okay, that's the one that I'm missing. I must not have pressed that. All right. Why don't we continue our build here? 00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:17.800 Elijah can you can you check this out? Yes, sir. All right. Thank you there ex-com the ultimate collection 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:21.240 That's the one I want looks like you suck at parking and God of War are winning right now anyways 00:59:21.240 --> 00:59:24.800 Really? That's what chat wants us to play. Yeah, but this is 89% off 00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:28.480 So I just want to buy it anyway because I don't have any ex-com games. Okay, okay 00:59:28.520 --> 00:59:33.000 So if you could do that and here's my wallet yippee. See you later 00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:37.560 Well, I'm gonna buy myself some games now, right? 00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:41.320 No, okay 00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.160 All right, let's move on to our case 00:59:45.560 --> 00:59:53.680 This is another area where you could probably save some money compared to our build whether that's just getting a case for free from a friend 00:59:53.680 --> 00:59:58.840 Or a computer shop or even a recycling pile or whether that's I mean, yeah 01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:14.580 Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist We have had a lot of success over the years getting free cases. In fact, I don't know if I can think of a scrapyard wars where 01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:22.160 When you account for the other value of stuff that we bought like there have definitely been situations where we have 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:25.840 exchanged money and Got in a case 01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:30.440 But I don't think that either Luke or I have ever actually 01:00:31.120 --> 01:00:34.760 Paid for the case as part of that if you get what I mean 01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:39.640 Like we were already getting a deal on the hardware itself and by the way 01:00:39.640 --> 01:00:43.240 There's a case or we get them for free getting a free case is 01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:48.280 such an like ultimate level hack for getting a better deal on a computer because 01:00:48.720 --> 01:00:55.520 This case cost us. What was it like 40 bucks or something like that 35 bucks? Okay 35 bucks and it is 01:00:56.080 --> 01:01:05.880 Boy, is it ever? Unexceptional, okay, and if you think about that 35 bucks even though that's the cheapest case we can find is still about 01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:10.480 What does that work out to about seven to eight percent of our budget? 01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:16.680 So if we just didn't buy a case, that's the equivalent of everything else we buy being on sale 01:01:17.040 --> 01:01:21.500 You know being seven to eight percent off and us being able to get better hardware elsewhere 01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:30.920 Anyway, because the goal of this build was not to you know scrapyard wars it the goal of this build was to build a 01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:34.240 Brand-new computer for around 500 bucks 01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:43.560 We did not go for the second-hand case option But this is a this is one of the big ways that you guys could definitely stretch a dollar this by the way 01:01:43.720 --> 01:01:51.840 No, I am not exceptionally strong this case is just exceptionally light 01:01:52.080 --> 01:01:56.840 This is the DIY PC s 08 dash G 01:01:57.840 --> 01:02:03.640 Shockingly it has a tempered glass side panel. It actually has kind of a pretty looking paint job 01:02:04.200 --> 01:02:10.820 It's just the it's just the features and the room to work where it's going to be a little on the lacking side 01:02:10.840 --> 01:02:12.840 there's also areas where just like 01:02:14.520 --> 01:02:21.800 I don't know how much money this saved them But it cheaps out in ways that I don't think I have ever seen before check this out. Check this out 01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:29.320 So where the IO shield clips in okay normally you would have like a solid edge along each side 01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:33.840 Not on the DIY PC s 08 G. No, sir 01:02:34.200 --> 01:02:41.960 Here you get a solid piece on that side You get a little tab on the bottom to click it into a little tab on the top. You see that little tab Andy 01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:47.480 Okay, you get a little tab on the top and then on this side 01:02:48.280 --> 01:02:55.400 They took four little full d tabs and you've got those four little full d tabs to kind of to kind of click it against 01:02:56.040 --> 01:02:59.960 I don't even think no, I don't even think they play a role in holding it into place 01:03:00.360 --> 01:03:05.720 So you're just using the tabs on the bottom and the side to hold it in as far as I can. Oh, no, no, they do they do 01:03:06.040 --> 01:03:11.960 Yeah, so you just got four little tabs there that hold it into place I mean realistically once the motherboard's in it's not going anywhere 01:03:12.120 --> 01:03:15.080 But you got this like weird gap that I have never seen before 01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:23.000 See this This This gap right here. You see that? Yeah weird, right? 01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:26.760 What 01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:32.600 Good tempered glass though doesn't break 01:03:38.040 --> 01:03:40.600 Nice that was close 01:03:42.040 --> 01:03:46.440 Uh, it's got um two front usb 2 ports 01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:50.760 Front usb 3 front panel audio 01:03:51.720 --> 01:03:58.120 Apparently it has support for 200 millimeter radiators. I mean other than just being like the cheapest thing I've ever seen 01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:02.680 It's not bad Not bad for features. Let's see what the build experience is like 01:04:03.080 --> 01:04:07.160 Elijah, did you already put in the standoffs that I need? Correct. Oh, wow. What a guy 01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:13.240 I was actually going to go down memory lane with you Linus You're gonna go down memory lane. Okay. Well, why don't you come over here on camera if you're gonna do that 01:04:13.240 --> 01:04:16.760 Do you remember the last time we tried to save money on a pc case? I do 01:04:18.520 --> 01:04:21.400 Oh god, I brought it with us today. Oh, that's wonderful 01:04:22.120 --> 01:04:26.920 Thank you. Elijah truly it is a work of art that we are unworthy of so yes 01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:34.760 You can get a pc case for cheaper And it requires some work Dan might actually have some footage from that video that he can throw up on screen here 01:04:35.320 --> 01:04:40.280 Where we butchered the heck out of this case in order to make it fit modern hardware 01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:43.800 Oh my goodness not just fit modern hardware 01:04:44.200 --> 01:04:47.640 Have adequate cooling for modern hardware. Look at those speed holes 01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:54.200 Look at that fire extinguisher that you're holding Because it started to smoke when you were using the grinder on it 01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:56.760 but look 01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:04.280 Yeah, isn't it great and to be clear. Okay, not every older case is going to be all solid panels 01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:10.840 On all sides and require this much tlc to get any cooling and even if it does 01:05:11.160 --> 01:05:15.320 Hey, you can always just take off the side panel and take off the front panel 01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:19.320 But realistically even spending 01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:26.520 What do you spend 35 bucks on this? Yeah. Yeah, even spending 35 dollars on a case is um 01:05:27.240 --> 01:05:30.200 Going to get you something that's going to look a little nicer and a little more modern 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:34.360 I actually um coming around to this thing. You know what I miss though 01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:38.520 I miss like antech having killer 01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:43.080 Case power supply combos like the antech sonata 01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:47.960 For instance was just it was awesome because you got a decent enough case 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:55.560 You got a quality power supply and it was at a really really attractive price having to buy those parts separately not in a bundle 01:05:56.600 --> 01:05:59.880 Basically as a requirement like I can't think of anyone other than like 01:06:00.520 --> 01:06:05.080 Does like raid max or logisys still do case power supply combos? 01:06:06.120 --> 01:06:09.160 I just I can't think of anyone who makes a power supply 01:06:09.160 --> 01:06:14.040 You would actually want to put in your system that does case power supply combos anymore 01:06:15.080 --> 01:06:20.040 What's out there? Is there anything still? I know logisys still does logisys still does. Yeah, I don't know about raid max though 01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:25.800 No offense to logisys. I would not consider putting a logisys power supply on my computer 01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:30.760 I'm sorry. It's just not really an option. This is this is tech tips not tech 01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.480 disaster show All right, we're doing not bad 01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:37.640 Looking pretty good. Apparently I'm supposed to do a merge message 01:06:38.520 --> 01:06:43.000 Yeah, sure. I've got a couple here hit me Dan. Hey Linus is a darn tough fan 01:06:43.160 --> 01:06:48.120 Have you also had issues with their socks being overly snug and difficult to put on? 01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:52.120 Is that something you have found with the upcoming LTT socks any advice? Oh 01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:58.440 Okay, am I rocking the darn tuts today? Oh, nope. I have prototype socks. Never mind. Ignore those 01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:04.680 I actually consider that a feature not a bug 01:07:05.160 --> 01:07:10.440 I actually like that long after their first wear because oh man 01:07:11.080 --> 01:07:13.320 Okay, I don't want this to get you know 01:07:14.600 --> 01:07:24.360 You know into like kinks or anything like that But I can't think of too many things that I like more than putting on a brand new pair of socks like so good 01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:29.880 The point is the fact that darn tough socks stay like tight 01:07:30.120 --> 01:07:39.400 So when you put them on they're like, you know, they're They're like it's like a hug for your foot. I actually like that. I consider that a feature our socks would definitely have 01:07:40.040 --> 01:07:45.720 Like a like a like a tighter kind of fit Um, but there's actually practical reasons for that as well 01:07:46.040 --> 01:07:50.840 I find that they work almost as like a type of compression sock for me. So I 01:07:52.520 --> 01:08:00.120 I I wear the like the high ones and I find that when I'm doing sports like whether I'm you know running or 01:08:00.520 --> 01:08:05.640 Playing badminton or whatever else. I used to get shin splints back when I would wear like lower socks 01:08:05.640 --> 01:08:10.680 So I wouldn't wear tight socks. So I finally actually work as a compression sock for me and uh, yeah 01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:19.480 I consider it a feature My understanding is that tight socks can help help prevent like blood pooling as well. So 01:08:22.360 --> 01:08:25.640 Get used to it would be the best advice that I can that I can give you 01:08:27.960 --> 01:08:33.960 Oh, yeah, especially especially when traveling Yeah, Andy Andy is an expert on the dangers of traveling these days 01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:36.280 and I'm not going to get into any more detail than that because 01:08:37.000 --> 01:08:41.480 That would involve his personal information, which I have not asked him if I can disclose but 01:08:41.480 --> 01:08:45.480 Um, yeah compression socks on the plane very good idea 01:08:46.360 --> 01:08:56.040 Now it's time to talk power supply. This Was probably the most challenging component of this build to choose because pretty much everything else was chosen for us 01:08:56.440 --> 01:09:00.040 The arc b580 is the only reasonable value 01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:05.400 GPU at that that we can you know target this price point with we went with the cheapest motherboard 01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:09.480 We went with the cheapest reasonable CPU the cheapest RAM the cheapest SSD 01:09:10.040 --> 01:09:14.680 Then the cheapest case like everything else. We were just picking what we can afford for our $500 budget 01:09:15.240 --> 01:09:18.680 For the power supply you guys can probably already see 01:09:19.320 --> 01:09:26.920 That we spent a little extra on it We could have gone with a $20 special from someone like logisys or coolmax 01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:32.120 Even oh over here even this smart 500 watt from thermal take 01:09:32.840 --> 01:09:38.920 Would have saved us enough that we could have between this and the motherboard gotten down to our $500 budget 01:09:39.880 --> 01:09:44.520 We could have done that But the thing is lucas from the lab 01:09:45.320 --> 01:09:52.120 He's a lot better than me I mean, I don't know. I think if push came to shove I could probably find somewhere to hide that like he couldn't fit 01:09:52.440 --> 01:09:56.360 And he couldn't like get to me Either way, it's not ideal 01:09:56.360 --> 01:10:01.720 So we were forced to choose something that he approved of and that's why we stretched our budget here 01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:06.840 And we picked up the minimum that he recommended the Corsair cx 550 watt bronze 01:10:07.240 --> 01:10:13.640 It's about $60 a lot more than I would want to spend. That's about 12 percent of our total budget 01:10:14.120 --> 01:10:17.560 But it occasionally goes on sale for about 10 bucks off 01:10:18.200 --> 01:10:24.920 There's another thing to note about this. It is not the full 600 watts that Intel recommends for this GPU 01:10:25.480 --> 01:10:28.440 But we talked to lucas about it and he said that 01:10:29.080 --> 01:10:36.120 realistically that seems to come down to the arc b580 having somewhat higher transients and as long as you've got a quality 01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:42.440 150 watt unit Like a passable quality unit. It should be fine and that's what we've got here 01:10:42.440 --> 01:10:50.120 So let's go ahead and get this installed So thank you lucas and the rest of the Labs team for the hard work that you guys do to make sure that whatever we're recommending 01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:56.200 Even if we're on a tight budget is something that we can stand behind that is not going to fail you 01:10:57.080 --> 01:11:03.160 When you're in the middle of a session All right, let's get this bad boy installed. We got four. Oh, I guess I got options, right? 01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:07.560 Um, does this have a filtered intake on the bottom? Wow, you know what for 35 bucks? 01:11:08.120 --> 01:11:13.160 I'm actually kind of liking this case. Elijah It's not the world's prettiest filter or anything like that 01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:17.400 But she's got a a filtered bottom intake and raised feet 01:11:17.480 --> 01:11:22.520 So even if we're on like a medium pile carpet our power supply is not going to suffocate 01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:25.800 Kind of i'm kind of coming around to this case. Elijah 01:11:26.680 --> 01:11:30.360 All right, this doesn't mean that I want to spend money on a case when I have a $500 budget 01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:34.840 It just means that if I have to spend money on a case for my $500 budget, I consider this one 01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:39.640 Acceptable you haven't cable managed yet. So we'll see that's that's true 01:11:40.120 --> 01:11:46.520 That is that is true words that you have coming from your mouth. Um, do you have my laptop? Yeah, sorry 01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:50.920 I was hoping to look at slow playing chat, but I can't Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt you 01:11:51.400 --> 01:11:58.840 Hey Linus Elijah and Sir Besser Do you still value and use mechanical gadgets like mechanical watches and log cameras? 01:11:59.240 --> 01:12:03.880 Or FX racks over digital ones. It's sad to see these industries fading 01:12:05.640 --> 01:12:08.840 Oh boy Man, I got to tell you 01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:13.560 I don't personally have a ton of nostalgia for analog devices like I 01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:19.000 I grew up with a rotary telephone and the second I got a touch tone phone. I was like, yo 01:12:20.200 --> 01:12:27.400 This is better And then when I had a touch tone phone with a wire the second I got a 900 megahertz cordless. I was like, yo 01:12:28.360 --> 01:12:33.400 Drop kick boom see a later old phone and then and then when I got a cellular telephone 01:12:33.800 --> 01:12:39.320 I was like no way. I don't have to be at home within range of my base station to use this dude progress 01:12:40.360 --> 01:12:46.120 I love progress dude. My first camera I owned was a digital camera. That was my first 01:12:47.480 --> 01:12:51.560 Hold on trying to think if there's anything before that 01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:58.680 No, I don't think so My first major expense 01:12:59.320 --> 01:13:03.160 Growing up was I bought myself a digital camera and I think it was 01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:07.080 Grade 10. This is before I bought myself a pc 01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:12.360 So I loaded my photos from that digital camera my power shot a 20 01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:17.240 So this is like 500 bucks or whatever. It's a lot of money for me at the time. I was I was in high school 01:13:17.800 --> 01:13:22.440 I I loaded my photos from my power shot a 20 onto my pentium 01:13:23.160 --> 01:13:26.360 I was either a 166 or a 90 or something like that like I 01:13:27.480 --> 01:13:32.920 I had like an actual crap tier computer. It was more important to me to get a digital camera 01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:41.080 And I didn't want like I forget what it was even called There was like this weird little like really cheap one that was like, you know 01:13:41.400 --> 01:13:46.600 144p like weird video thing that I got for a christmas present and I asked for a gift receipt 01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:52.360 I took it back. I got like a hundred dollars credit or something like that towards that power shot a 20 01:13:52.360 --> 01:13:58.440 That was like my first major paid for myself expense and I have never 01:13:59.160 --> 01:14:03.640 looked back at film and gone. Wow That would be so much better 01:14:04.760 --> 01:14:11.720 Not once I'm so sorry Um, I'm just I'm the kind of person that when I'm evaluating something 01:14:12.200 --> 01:14:15.640 I'm all about okay, but how much does it cost me tomorrow? 01:14:16.120 --> 01:14:19.480 Like what's my what's my per shot cost with this thing? 01:14:20.360 --> 01:14:25.240 Um, and it's not like I don't see the value of like developed photos 01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:32.920 It's it's a lot of fun to go back and look at old scrapbooks and stuff like that. I think that you know, polaroids invite 01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:41.000 They invite fun, you know, there's just something about it that is that is fun, but 01:14:41.480 --> 01:14:49.160 I just I I can't get over the the the calculating part of my brain that goes 01:14:51.800 --> 01:14:53.800 $1.20 01:14:55.160 --> 01:14:57.160 $1.20 01:14:58.760 --> 01:15:03.080 $1.20 And maybe maybe I'm just not a fun person 01:15:03.240 --> 01:15:08.120 Maybe that's what it comes down to because I feel the same way going to like a commercial paintball field 01:15:08.360 --> 01:15:13.880 I'm like nickel nickel nickel nickel nickel nickel, you know, like I just 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:24.840 I I have a really hard time with things that have a continuous cost It's one of the reasons that I love pc gaming so much or at least I used to before everything was gacha 01:15:25.320 --> 01:15:30.360 Um, because you could buy that game once and get so much value out of it through 01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:37.240 You know the incredible modding community or through multiplayer and and and always changing experiences and 01:15:38.840 --> 01:15:42.040 um It's one of the reasons that I just 01:15:43.400 --> 01:15:50.360 Never understood like even when xbox 360 was like the king and and was incredible. I was like 01:15:51.480 --> 01:15:56.680 I'm sorry. Sorry. It has You like pay to play online like every month 01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:03.000 What like I I 01:16:03.240 --> 01:16:10.440 Okay, like I guess See you later. I'll get that game eventually anyway and in some cases I was wrong 01:16:10.920 --> 01:16:15.800 Um, but in a lot of cases Yeah, I was uh, I was I was less wrong 01:16:17.240 --> 01:16:19.720 So back to your question film cameras 01:16:20.760 --> 01:16:27.640 It's not even about the inconvenience of developing the film for me because if anything I think that inconvenience is actually 01:16:28.280 --> 01:16:33.160 It can actually be a good thing or like the less inconvenience more ritual, right? 01:16:33.720 --> 01:16:40.120 Going there getting the putting in the film for development and you know, whatever else and it forces you to do it 01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:43.560 Uh, because otherwise there's no way to ever see the pictures 01:16:44.280 --> 01:16:48.360 Whereas with digital you can kind of like quickly look at it on your phone and then you never bother 01:16:48.520 --> 01:16:53.080 You never get around to it. And so in some ways I actually think the convenience of film is 01:16:54.040 --> 01:16:57.240 Sort of superior in the actual experience of doing it 01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:01.320 Because you might actually you might actually follow through and develop something 01:17:01.320 --> 01:17:05.000 I think printing things is really inconvenient and that's why almost nobody does it 01:17:05.560 --> 01:17:10.440 um, but I just can't get over the the in my mind impracticality 01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:17.800 of paying Like a significant amount of money for every single shot I take even if it's like out of focus or crappy 01:17:17.800 --> 01:17:23.800 I like being able to go click click click click click click and hope that I get a good one I take a lot of my pictures of kids and animals though. So like 01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:29.720 Film is especially wasteful when your kids are making stupid faces or whatever else 01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:40.360 We actually just shot a ShortCircuit yesterday rounding up instant cameras. So like instax polaroid 01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:47.720 What's their nuts kodak has kodak has one that has like a little built-in printer in it and stuff like that 01:17:48.440 --> 01:17:52.840 And it's funny because they totally knew their audience when they prepped the video 01:17:53.480 --> 01:17:59.640 They prepared like a like a cost per shot for me as part of you know, evaluating which ones 01:18:00.360 --> 01:18:03.240 Which ones I like to actually co-host it with Yvonne as part of 01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:08.360 Promoting Yvonne week on Floatplane where it's going to be. I think there's an interview with her 01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:12.920 She doesn't meet the cats where she shows off all of our cats. So we're going to have that 01:18:13.480 --> 01:18:16.440 at lng.gg slash Floatplane very very shortly 01:18:16.920 --> 01:18:21.880 Sorry, I'm just wiring up the front panel stuff. I realize I'm just building a computer not actually talking about it here 01:18:22.200 --> 01:18:25.880 They're our 24 pin power connector our 4 pin power connector up here 01:18:26.280 --> 01:18:29.080 Got our front usb 3 front panel connectors 01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:33.320 All of this is this is nice like I remember old budget boards 01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:38.040 There's no way they would have you know all the connectors silkscreened on there 01:18:38.200 --> 01:18:40.760 So you don't have to look at the manual or anything like that. This is actually 01:18:41.480 --> 01:18:46.600 perfectly Acceptably adequate to build in I have no real complaints so far 01:18:47.160 --> 01:18:54.120 hd audio Boom. All right. That's it. Our front panel connectors are done 01:18:55.240 --> 01:18:59.880 Would you like to know the two games that won? I I would like to know the two games that won. Yeah hit me 01:18:59.960 --> 01:19:04.760 It was almost 50 for you suck at parking nice and then god of war god of war 01:19:04.840 --> 01:19:08.520 Okay, we have to get this built because we're gonna have to make sure those are installed because I didn't know that 01:19:08.520 --> 01:19:14.840 Those were the two that we're gonna win so Well, uh, you could start uh downloading god of war now, right? 01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:20.120 Possibly I onto a game drive. Do you have a game drive? No. Oh, all right cool 01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:28.680 Now for the moment We've all been waiting for the reason that we are able to make a kick-ass gaming computer for our console like price 01:19:29.080 --> 01:19:33.640 The Intel arc b580 if you guys haven't seen our full review of this card 01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:42.680 It is a must watch But the tldr is that it's out for as little as 250 us dollars and in our suite of games 01:19:42.920 --> 01:19:48.600 It was able to handle 1080p ultra settings and never drop its average FPS below 60 01:19:49.160 --> 01:19:55.640 To say that this is the type of game changing disruptive GPU that the entry gaming market needed would be a gross 01:19:55.960 --> 01:19:58.440 Understatement the fact that we're even calling 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:03.800 $250 entry level is such a mind-blowing thing to me 01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:09.880 It says so much about the way that NVIDIA and AMD have abandoned budget gamers 01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:16.840 Like you used to be able to get something not garbage from NVIDIA and ati for like 100 bucks in change 01:20:17.480 --> 01:20:22.040 Nowadays cards for 110 dollars actually, you know what this is worth 01:20:22.200 --> 01:20:29.000 This is worth pausing not talking about arc for a second and firing up new egg again. Check this out you guys 01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:34.520 We did this as part of the uh as part of the prep for the video 01:20:35.080 --> 01:20:39.240 Okay, here. I'll just throw this on On the ground 01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:46.920 Ah Okay components and storage GPU and graphics card devices. Okay. Check this out gaming video cards 01:20:47.480 --> 01:20:50.840 Here we go sort by 01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:56.600 lowest price Okay, let's take out refurbished. Let's see if I can find the refurbished tag this time condition. Here we go 01:20:56.840 --> 01:20:58.840 Maybe this is where I was able to find it new 01:21:01.080 --> 01:21:03.080 All right 01:21:05.320 --> 01:21:12.760 Oh This is actually not that bad. Okay, you can get a 6500 xt. Hey, where was that where was that stupid junk from NVIDIA that we 01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:17.320 Well, I haven't seen anything from NVIDIA. Uh, let's see. Let's see what we can find from NVIDIA 01:21:17.880 --> 01:21:23.800 We're all the way up to 170 dollars. We haven't found a single NVIDIA card yet. Here you go. You can find some 01:21:24.120 --> 01:21:28.760 Okay, how is this new are they still selling 30 50s? This has one egg 01:21:29.480 --> 01:21:33.880 I'm not even sure if I believe that we're all the way up to 180 dollars 01:21:34.360 --> 01:21:37.560 So apparently we have to change our filter to 01:21:38.280 --> 01:21:43.160 components and storage Just GPU's 01:21:44.120 --> 01:21:51.000 What's up this one? Yeah, there you go This is a 1030 if you want an NVIDIA card for like 100 bucks in change 01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:57.720 You are literally getting what is this like a seven year old GPU or six year old GPU or something like that 01:21:57.720 --> 01:22:05.640 The architecture was eight years old. I believe An eight year old architecture like guys this design is older than my youngest child 01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:09.880 Pretty much only suitable for outputting a secondary display AMD 01:22:10.680 --> 01:22:15.080 a little bit better but this 01:22:15.160 --> 01:22:17.160 1080p ultimate 01:22:18.280 --> 01:22:26.120 1080p Did I say ultimate I meant ultra the point is it's got 22nd generation battle mage xe course 20 ray tracing units 01:22:26.200 --> 01:22:32.840 Clock speeds of up to 26 70 megahertz and a total board power of 190 watts not to mention that they gave a huge 01:22:33.400 --> 01:22:39.240 fu to the incumbents by equipping it with 12 gigs of vram for those of you who are out of the loop 01:22:39.720 --> 01:22:45.320 That's a really big deal and the conversation has been going on for a little while 01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:52.200 But obviously it hasn't been going on enough to reach NVIDIA's ears back when they released the 40 60 01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:58.760 There was a lot of conversation around the $200 paywall that they put in front of getting more than eight gigs of RAM 01:22:59.080 --> 01:23:04.840 because at I believe it was 399 you could get the 40 60 with eight gigs 01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:08.440 At 499 you could get the 40 60 ti 01:23:09.160 --> 01:23:16.840 But still with eight gigs of RAM and you had to go all the way up to 5 99 to get the 40 60 ti 16 gig 01:23:16.840 --> 01:23:20.200 Which was functionally pretty much the same thing as the regular ti 01:23:20.440 --> 01:23:25.400 But just with a modern amount of vram on it and there was no 40 60 16 gig 01:23:26.040 --> 01:23:30.200 so They had a 40 60 starting at 400 dollars 01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:34.360 But if you wanted something that was going to be able to keep up in modern games 01:23:35.240 --> 01:23:37.240 You had to spend 600 dollars which 01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:43.720 Is more than this entire computer Even after we blew our budget 01:23:44.040 --> 01:23:46.680 Now in fairness those cards have come down a little bit 01:23:47.160 --> 01:23:51.480 But anyone who invested in them got a really awful value 01:23:52.120 --> 01:23:58.680 We predicted and many predicted at the time that not having 16 gigs or at least more than eight gigs of vram 01:23:58.680 --> 01:24:02.840 Was going to be a problem very soon and it turns out that we are 01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:11.480 Very soon a clock later and it's already a problem indiana jones in the great circle has a clear performance penalty from using an eight gig card 01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:13.960 And it's only been 01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:19.720 What has it been like a year and a half since the 40 60 came out? I'm trying to remember what the actual 01:24:19.800 --> 01:24:24.840 What the actual timeline is elijah. Do you mind checking the release date of the 40 60 series? Yes, sir real quick 01:24:25.400 --> 01:24:29.080 Thank you so much in the meantime. I'm going to look for a 632 k screw here 01:24:31.240 --> 01:24:39.400 It looks like it was june 2023 era. Oh my yeah, so a year and a half ago. Oh man 01:24:40.200 --> 01:24:44.120 I'm good Nice nailed it kill Linus. Anyway, the point is 01:24:44.840 --> 01:24:49.960 It has issues with eight gig cards and that is in spite of it being an invidious sponsored title 01:24:50.520 --> 01:24:55.560 So you go and you buy one of invidious basic, you know ray tracing ready cards or whatever 01:24:56.440 --> 01:24:59.560 And you're going to have issues with a game that comes out just a year and a half later 01:24:59.640 --> 01:25:03.640 Anyway, we've got our arc battle mage in here. Let's go ahead and get this plugged in 01:25:04.200 --> 01:25:10.120 Here we go and a boop 01:25:12.120 --> 01:25:15.720 And that's it That my friends is how you build a pc 01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:22.680 Now this is not a perfect pc. In fact, I would say that it's a pretty safe bet that 01:25:25.880 --> 01:25:28.520 We would need to add at least I'd say 01:25:29.480 --> 01:25:37.880 An intake fan here I'd say once we've got an intake fan on the front to use this vent draw some fresh air across our GPU 01:25:38.280 --> 01:25:41.320 This exhaust and that intake working together is probably enough 01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:44.920 But worst-case scenario we are on a tight budget. We have 01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:52.680 500 bucks to spend we can always add a fan later and we can run our side panel off until our you know our next 01:25:53.160 --> 01:25:59.240 Lawn mowing session or you know, whatever it takes for us to get like, you know eight bucks for a fan off of 01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:04.600 Tmu or whatever Elijah do you want to grab a monitor and let's uh, let's get this thing going 01:26:04.600 --> 01:26:08.680 Oh, I guess I should do a little bit of cable management first. Do you mind grabbing a couple zip ties real quick? 01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:15.000 Okay, in the meantime Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message? Yeah, sure 01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.440 Doing a bit laggy on the stream here. Hold on. Let me just pause this 01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:26.440 Hi del we're stocking my gift card stockpile after the holiday buying 01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:32.840 Have you ever got refused tech support because of a so-called incompatible hardware like having g4 snot quadro? 01:26:34.120 --> 01:26:39.960 Oh Uh, oh, oh, I mean we ran into something like this very recently 01:26:40.280 --> 01:26:43.400 I don't know about refused tech support, but we've definitely been told 01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:50.040 Yeah, there's there's nothing we can do for you. You've got the wrong thing in situations where I don't personally feel that 01:26:50.040 --> 01:26:54.920 That makes a lot of sense. We talked about this when we were looking at that that spatial Labs 01:26:55.480 --> 01:26:59.560 stereoscopic 3d monitor that that acer co developed 01:27:00.040 --> 01:27:04.280 And they have a commercial version of it that for whatever reason 01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:12.680 Is locked from running games like you you you can't you you I I understand. Okay. Yeah, fine 01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:16.840 I can't run the commercial stuff on the the gaming version of it. No problem 01:27:17.320 --> 01:27:23.320 But why on earth would you tell me that I'm not allowed to game on my like like professional grade one? 01:27:24.040 --> 01:27:28.520 Who are you to tell me? I'm not allowed to play video games on this thing when it costs so much more 01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:32.600 Like the one that costs more should just it should be everything that the cheaper one is 01:27:33.240 --> 01:27:37.480 And more not just I'm not going to go buy another one to play video games 01:27:38.200 --> 01:27:42.200 Um, so I thought that was I thought that was pretty bananas. That one was pretty recent 01:27:42.440 --> 01:27:46.840 I'm trying to think of anything personally though and nothing really springs to mind for me 01:27:47.400 --> 01:27:52.680 Elijah, have you ever run into anything like that? Sorry, I missed the merge message. Sorry, you bought the wrong you bought the wrong 01:27:52.680 --> 01:27:58.120 product I can't I can't help you with that and their example was something like, you know running g4 strivers on quadro 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:02.040 Just like artificial software lockdowns 01:28:02.040 --> 01:28:04.680 I feel like I probably have had a story when I used to do it support 01:28:05.080 --> 01:28:08.840 Like I've reached out to the company that made the software that the company 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:13.320 I was dealing with was having issues and they're like you're using unsupported hardware and I'm like your 01:28:13.720 --> 01:28:18.120 Your specification was Windows 7 or newer. So like what do you mean? I'm using unsupported hardware 01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:23.000 And they were like, well, it's Windows 11 And I was like, well, that's newer 01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:29.800 But it's like, oh, it hasn't been verified yet And it was like I had those examples when Windows 11 was just rolling out and we were deploying it on sites, but 01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:39.800 I've definitely run into um Oh, dude, actually that reminds me. Yeah, I've run into quite a few where they won't install 01:28:40.440 --> 01:28:48.600 Because you have the wrong version of Windows But it like totally doesn't matter and once you force it to install it totally works. Yeah, I 01:28:49.800 --> 01:28:55.720 Hate that just try to install and if it doesn't work or whatever you can tell me it's unsupported during the installer 01:28:56.120 --> 01:29:00.600 But do not outright block me from installing it. That's just 01:29:01.320 --> 01:29:08.040 That's just wasting my time That's all you're that's literally all you're doing is wasting my time because I'm gonna figure out 01:29:08.440 --> 01:29:14.280 I'm gonna go find the file and I'm gonna go, you know fill in the versions of Windows that you support or whatever 01:29:14.360 --> 01:29:20.040 I'm just gonna I'm gonna go fix it anyway So all you're doing is making me do that which I don't like to do 01:29:20.600 --> 01:29:24.840 The worst part was doing tech support for companies that are using older hardware 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:29.320 Whether it was like a specific CAD license or something that like only worked on xp 01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:34.680 Yeah, and then obviously I can't phone the company and be like, hey, I want this to work on Windows 11 01:29:35.080 --> 01:29:42.920 So I have to like figure it out I have to fight through either registry or other setting changes to get it to work because my client that we're serving 01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:46.920 Refuses to change to anything newer, which is fair 01:29:47.080 --> 01:29:55.960 You know what and valid in some cases Especially with stuff like CAD software. It's super valid. Yeah, like that machine just works panel by the way 01:29:57.400 --> 01:30:02.280 Prove it Okay, anyways that machine just works 01:30:03.160 --> 01:30:10.520 And their technicians like They're they they don't they don't care. Oh, yeah, they don't care about Windows or whatever 01:30:11.080 --> 01:30:13.960 They just need to get their job done. No, I get it man. I get it 01:30:15.320 --> 01:30:22.840 I mean, I think a lot of the time Our crowd right forgets that for a lot of people a computer is not fun 01:30:23.560 --> 01:30:26.360 It is not a toy. It is just a tool 01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:32.200 It is just like their pair of pliers. It is just like their, you know work 01:30:32.840 --> 01:30:36.760 Smock it is it is nothing but a tool to a means to an end 01:30:37.320 --> 01:30:41.080 Um, and for folks like that. Yeah, I get it. You don't want to just like go 01:30:41.640 --> 01:30:49.480 Upgrading software and oh and in a lot of cases One of the reasons that they're locked into that older version of the software is not because a new one doesn't exist 01:30:49.960 --> 01:30:55.080 Or that the new one doesn't have features they'd like to use But because the new one has switched to a subscription model 01:30:55.720 --> 01:30:59.080 That was the biggest complaint always. I'm not paying for the new version 01:30:59.480 --> 01:31:03.240 Because I owned this one and this one does everything I need it to do. Yeah 01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:07.960 So why but they get a pop-up every four minutes or every time they boot it 01:31:08.440 --> 01:31:13.800 Hey, have you considered subscribing to the new one? You'll get all these fancy features. Yeah, I have considered it. Yeah 01:31:14.040 --> 01:31:18.040 The answer is no Um 01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:24.760 Where'd that spritzer bottle that you had go there's one behind the arc. Nice. That's what you're talking about 01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:29.320 Yeah, well, I didn't really want to I so but this will work. Okay. Well, I just want I want a nice clean side panel 01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:31.640 I wanted to look her best, you know 01:31:32.840 --> 01:31:35.560 Nice clean looking her best side panel for 500 bucks. Hey 01:31:36.200 --> 01:31:44.440 500 bucks, dude Is so exciting for me to be able to build a 500 dollar computer again. Yeah, like this used to be my job 01:31:45.160 --> 01:31:48.680 Back when I worked at NCIX I was in charge of like the PC configurations 01:31:49.000 --> 01:31:51.880 So I would I would you know go and I would try and come up with 01:31:52.280 --> 01:31:56.520 Creative ways to save a dollar here and there and like try to build the best thing that I can for the money 01:31:57.000 --> 01:32:05.080 Um, did we lose a grommet? From the side panel. Maybe when it was already gone when I grabbed it from inventory. Oh got it. Okay. So it's not our fault 01:32:05.160 --> 01:32:08.040 We didn't buy this brand new for the stream. We're sorry guys 01:32:08.360 --> 01:32:12.760 But we already had it in inventory and it happened to be 35 dollars. So it matched our criteria 01:32:13.720 --> 01:32:18.520 Got it makes sense. All right, let's pop this bad boy on here 01:32:20.360 --> 01:32:23.400 Oh, yeah, oh wait. Oh, she's uh 01:32:24.360 --> 01:32:28.440 She's not symmetrical Which is fine. I can work with this 01:32:28.600 --> 01:32:31.880 There we go. I was gonna say is it because you dropped it. Did it bend? No 01:32:33.720 --> 01:32:45.160 Elijah Uh, Dan want to hit me? Sure. We've seen quite a few of wacky fan configurations from Alex and the team 01:32:45.480 --> 01:32:50.840 But when are you guys going to power a whole pc with the back feeding from spinning pc fans with an air compressor? 01:32:54.280 --> 01:32:58.120 Oh Wow, what would that even look like? 01:32:58.120 --> 01:33:01.240 So we'd have to get some kind of fixed voltage out of the fans 01:33:01.320 --> 01:33:04.200 Which means we'd have to spin them all at kind of like the same speed 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:10.120 We'd have to Oh my god, that would be I don't know if we're gonna do that 01:33:11.080 --> 01:33:17.240 Yeah Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if we're gonna do that. The answer is never. Yeah, that's it's a cool idea 01:33:17.960 --> 01:33:22.600 But I think it's the kind of cool idea that as long as Alex doesn't watch the stream. We're never gonna have to do 01:33:25.080 --> 01:33:27.800 All right timestamp dude 500 bucks 01:33:28.840 --> 01:33:33.880 Okay, 540 but we could have cheaped out on our motherboard and cheaped out on our power supply 500 dollar class 01:33:34.200 --> 01:33:40.520 Because we spend what 4 540 bucks, right? Yeah, uh, yes, it came out to 540 total freaking awesome 01:33:41.240 --> 01:33:45.800 What card did you use? I just realized I gave my personal card to vans for 01:33:47.160 --> 01:33:51.480 I grabbed the first one that was in there No 01:33:51.480 --> 01:33:56.200 Wait, what this one I grabbed the one that looked like a bank card 01:33:58.120 --> 01:34:02.840 This one here Yeah 01:34:03.240 --> 01:34:08.760 Yvonne is gonna kill me that's a usd card the transaction was in CAD 01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:17.240 I didn't well Do I spoil it that I didn't actually purchase with the card because we already have the games on our account 01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:22.840 Oh, I just did that for the fun of it because you gave me the card. I was like, okay. Well, I'm not gonna actually buy the cards 01:34:22.840 --> 01:34:28.680 I was just gonna put them on my account. Oh Okay, well, you're good. I didn't say buy the cards. I meant by the games. Okay. I didn't actually spend any money 01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:35.400 Oh, I took it off camera because I was like, oh, it's probably just for the bit I was like ha ha buy the games. I was like, well, I'm not gonna actually dig through his wallet. No, I was I was 01:34:36.120 --> 01:34:40.840 I don't fake things on camera. I want to play those games. I want I want the game 01:34:40.840 --> 01:34:46.680 I'm not saying you don't want the games. I just you gave me your credit card. I'm like, I don't feel comfortable typing this in 01:34:53.960 --> 01:34:57.960 Stop staring at me honestly stop just you're the one who's awkward 01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:00.520 All right, bucko 01:35:02.120 --> 01:35:06.680 I don't know man. I don't see I don't I don't think it's a big deal. Oh, hey, we don't have a desk pad. Oh 01:35:07.560 --> 01:35:11.480 We do have our mod mat though. This is coming. This is going to be available on the store 01:35:12.200 --> 01:35:18.440 Next year, right? I don't know if signups are ready yet, but this is coming out around mid january signups are up 01:35:18.440 --> 01:35:21.640 Oh, okay. So then signups for the mod mat are up. Yeah, I don't know if this is the 01:35:22.360 --> 01:35:30.680 Actual final version It looks pretty close. It's really close mod mats freaking awesome. I'm extremely proud of the team 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:35.960 It is class leading in every way price quality. I I believe the 01:35:36.840 --> 01:35:41.080 Value of the information that's on it for like a typical pc builder 01:35:41.720 --> 01:35:44.440 really really excited about this thing we worked with the 01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:49.640 We we worked with the creator of the patented mod mat mod bright 01:35:50.200 --> 01:35:54.440 In order to bring this to market. So everything's kind of 01:35:54.440 --> 01:35:56.840 Buttoned up there really really excited 01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:03.080 And like way more affordable than a lot of the other options that are out there right now 01:36:04.760 --> 01:36:10.280 Pretty cool I still wouldn't recommend at a five hundred dollar pc budget 01:36:10.840 --> 01:36:17.320 Blowing money on a on a mod mat to build it But especially as you're getting up into sort of higher prices where 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:22.520 That would not be a huge amount of your budget and wouldn't really cost you a significant amount of performance 01:36:22.920 --> 01:36:28.040 It's not a bad idea and comes with an anti-static wrist strap and all that as well, of course 01:36:29.240 --> 01:36:32.120 Wow, the stream latency is really low these days 01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:38.600 Did they uh, did they decrease the stream latency on Floatplane? I have no idea probably maybe like check this out 01:36:38.920 --> 01:36:48.360 That's just like a few seconds. That's really good great job guys. Thank you cool 01:36:52.600 --> 01:36:57.160 All right, what do you think Elijah? Oh no, I whammyed it 01:36:58.920 --> 01:37:02.360 Oh, we closed the side I closed the side panel. Oh, we're gonna be here for three hours 01:37:02.440 --> 01:37:05.880 There's absolutely no shot that this thing powers on on the first go 01:37:05.960 --> 01:37:10.680 Wait, wait, if we reopen the side if we reopen this now that doesn't count easily ruined it 01:37:10.760 --> 01:37:15.160 It doesn't count once you close the side panel you have jinxed it officially 01:37:16.200 --> 01:37:22.200 Sorry james Yeah, we really did try to get this done in a reasonable amount of time. That's okay. These guys like hanging out with us 01:37:22.200 --> 01:37:25.080 Anyway, why isn't he plugging in? Dan hit me with a merge message. Sure 01:37:26.680 --> 01:37:28.680 The power cable's not plugging in 01:37:29.720 --> 01:37:39.080 Yes, sir Go ahead Dan has any discussion happened on bringing back the black shaft for the original gangster screwdriver 01:37:39.160 --> 01:37:45.000 Now that the precision has proven itself mine was stolen recently and I love the black finish compared to silver 01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:53.080 um This is not for this monitor. It was with the monitor. That's why I I can't I don't know what to tell you 01:37:53.320 --> 01:37:57.320 They don't go together Um 01:37:57.400 --> 01:38:01.240 If we can find a treatment that is black enough 01:38:01.960 --> 01:38:06.120 And strong enough and durable enough and all the things that we need 01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:09.800 We would love to do a black shaft screwdriver 01:38:10.840 --> 01:38:14.600 but We haven't yet 01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:18.360 And I wouldn't say that the precision is necessarily 01:38:18.680 --> 01:38:26.920 Um Just just because we've done a black precision driver doesn't mean that we would do a black shafted regular screwdriver 01:38:26.920 --> 01:38:31.960 There's a couple reasons for that one is that the precision driver is not the kind of thing that we expect people to just 01:38:32.280 --> 01:38:36.200 Huck in their tool bag And you know get you know beat up 01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:41.880 Um, we expect it to kind of live in a case whether it's ours or one from iFix it or someone like that 01:38:42.280 --> 01:38:47.880 We expect it to kind of be cared for a bit more and mostly just hang out in your hands or on your desk on your project 01:38:47.880 --> 01:38:53.480 mat or whatever Number two is that the screwdriver is not even made of this screwdriver is not made of the same material 01:38:53.720 --> 01:38:58.040 This is anodized aluminum. So anodizing is an excellent high durability finish 01:38:58.040 --> 01:39:01.480 It's still going to chip occasionally if you know you'd ding it on something or whatever 01:39:01.480 --> 01:39:07.560 You can say I got a little one in mine, but because it actually transforms the top layer of the aluminum 01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:14.120 It's it's really really really strong Um our shaft on the screwdriver is stainless steel. It's not 01:39:15.080 --> 01:39:19.160 Anodized it's not anodizable Can you anodize steel? 01:39:19.160 --> 01:39:24.920 Either way, it's definitely a different process and we have not found that it is good enough 01:39:25.880 --> 01:39:28.680 Why don't you just like make it out of burzum or something? 01:39:29.720 --> 01:39:33.960 All right, we are not exploring exotic materials for screwdriver shafts anytime soon 01:39:34.200 --> 01:39:39.240 We've had enough nightmares with bad screwdriver shafts. All right, let's fire this thing up. Do you get it? You ready black metal? 01:39:39.320 --> 01:39:42.920 Is it gonna work? Here we go 01:39:42.920 --> 01:39:45.400 A fan is spinning. Yeah, that's a good sign 01:39:46.360 --> 01:39:50.040 Got that RGB man 01:39:50.040 --> 01:39:52.040 AMD and Intel better together 01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:57.320 You know, it's crazy five years ago. Those would have been swapped. I know, right? 01:40:00.840 --> 01:40:03.960 Wow, you went really high end on the uh monitor Elijah 01:40:04.120 --> 01:40:09.880 The power cable is not on the shelf there. So I just grabbed the next monitor. Okay. Well, that's quite the monitor 01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:16.120 We've got like a qto led what looks like. I think this is the 14. It's just the 4k. What Elijah? 01:40:16.120 --> 01:40:21.720 What the heck dude? I think it is just the 4k 240 Hertz. Yeah, are you are you high? 01:40:22.120 --> 01:40:25.160 Sorry, I don't think I'm allowed to ask you that. I don't think I can answer that 01:40:26.360 --> 01:40:29.960 Why? Don't look in my eyes 01:40:31.160 --> 01:40:35.160 All right down one hit me with another We lost your mic 01:40:35.960 --> 01:40:38.600 Hey booted though. Okay, hit me. Oh, hey. Hey. Hey look 01:40:39.560 --> 01:40:43.160 That that's good That's good. That's what we want 01:40:43.320 --> 01:40:48.280 Dan do you want to hit me with another merge message while I reboot this thing so that I can actually dial in the RAM timings? Sure 01:40:49.080 --> 01:40:53.640 has Sorry, no or did that one greetings from colorado Linus 01:40:53.800 --> 01:41:00.040 What do you think about 3d movies watched through a vr headset and the complete lack of services to watch 3d movies nowadays? 01:41:00.440 --> 01:41:03.080 Any thoughts on completely vr movies? 01:41:04.360 --> 01:41:06.920 Oh, okay. I haven't tried 01:41:07.480 --> 01:41:16.040 Apples vr movie experience thing whatever it's called. We're on the submarine. I really want to but after the review of the apple vision pro 01:41:16.200 --> 01:41:19.400 I Brought it back to work and then I've never touched it again 01:41:20.200 --> 01:41:24.760 I've been meaning to grab it and bring it home and try that just because I was called submerged or something like that 01:41:24.760 --> 01:41:30.120 I think Anyway, I want to try it. It sounds super cool. I don't have an opinion until I actually try it 01:41:30.200 --> 01:41:32.680 But what from what I've heard it is super cool 01:41:33.400 --> 01:41:40.280 As for watching 3d movies in vr Awesome. I mean that is where you're going to get the best possible display 01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:46.360 Um, but for me It's the same thing again that I brought up in my review of the apple vision pro 01:41:47.400 --> 01:41:55.080 here hello Yeah, I'll do the Windows thing. Okay. Yes, sir. Or not. I was I was gonna help you like yeah, just hold shift when we're starting 01:41:55.400 --> 01:42:01.000 yeah, um What was I saying 3d movies? Yeah, 3d movies 01:42:01.720 --> 01:42:05.560 So it's the same thing that I brought up in the review of the apple vision pro right where 01:42:06.600 --> 01:42:09.320 It's the best way to watch big screen content 01:42:10.040 --> 01:42:16.760 As long as you're watching it by yourself and for a lot of people that's appealing for me. It's not I 01:42:17.640 --> 01:42:20.920 almost Never 01:42:23.400 --> 01:42:26.200 I almost never watch a movie by myself 01:42:26.760 --> 01:42:31.560 um, especially not Oh, I'm trying to remember 01:42:36.840 --> 01:42:40.040 Trying to remember like if I'm just like watching something on my phone 01:42:40.840 --> 01:42:45.000 I will Um, or if like I'm watching something at the gym 01:42:45.160 --> 01:42:50.200 I will but those are not things that I have a vr headset on for like if I'm at the gym 01:42:50.280 --> 01:42:54.360 I am at the gym. I'm not wearing a vr headset and if I'm 01:42:55.080 --> 01:42:58.920 If I'm watching something on my phone, it's because I'm in the bath or I'm like 01:42:59.800 --> 01:43:03.560 otherwise Not able to be like bolted into something 01:43:04.360 --> 01:43:08.920 So vr headsets. They just don't really they don't really have a place in my daily life other than 01:43:10.040 --> 01:43:17.960 beat saber just exercise Unfortunately, I love vr. It's I love immersive experiences. I think it's super cool 01:43:19.160 --> 01:43:23.960 I'm so so so ready for a replacement to the index. Actually, I gotta try the 01:43:24.360 --> 01:43:28.680 I gotta try the big screen beyond with their audio strap. I still haven't done that. Let me know how it is 01:43:28.760 --> 01:43:31.960 I've been meaning to also we have one of those vario or whatever 01:43:31.960 --> 01:43:34.520 We have one of those vario headsets that I really want to try to 01:43:35.160 --> 01:43:37.320 All right, what do you think we're gonna are we gonna get uh 01:43:38.760 --> 01:43:41.560 Docp or xmp or whatever where the heck do you even 01:43:42.280 --> 01:43:48.680 Where do you even control that stuff here over clock mode bus speed auto manual? Oh, here we go xmp settings boom 3200 01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:52.680 Think it's gonna work Uh, I think it's gonna work. Okay. I believe 01:43:53.400 --> 01:43:57.560 We're going straight to 3200 no problems. I mean realistically it 01:43:58.360 --> 01:44:02.760 does come down to board layout and trace design to an extent but it also 01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:08.440 Comes out comes down in a big way to the integrated memory controller on your CPU and as far as I can tell 01:44:08.920 --> 01:44:11.000 AMD doesn't just you know put their 01:44:11.960 --> 01:44:14.840 The crappiest possible memory controllers on their entry-level chips 01:44:15.960 --> 01:44:20.120 All right, do we have steam on it steam should be installed. Okay, here we go 01:44:20.440 --> 01:44:24.120 Do we have a mouse pad by any chance because as much as I love the mod mat 01:44:24.200 --> 01:44:27.960 It is not a mouse pad. I mean I have a big one I don't have although this is convenient 01:44:28.120 --> 01:44:32.840 If we'd used a mod mat as our mouse pad back in the day when we forgot to remove those feet off of that mouse 01:44:32.840 --> 01:44:37.000 In a ShortCircuit and we would have found them because I just moved it once and it removed the feet covers 01:44:37.560 --> 01:44:41.880 from the set mess by mouse That's a feature 01:44:43.480 --> 01:44:47.960 All right was I do not have an internet connection. So we're gonna have to sort that out 01:44:51.000 --> 01:44:53.960 Oh, are they not what happened to the cable? Oh, no, I got it. I got it. I got it 01:44:54.440 --> 01:44:57.480 It was so managed by our magnetic cable management that I couldn't see it 01:44:58.360 --> 01:45:03.640 Let's go I can't believe that this computer booted up. I expected it to be whammy'd 01:45:05.560 --> 01:45:08.360 We downloaded those two games on the z drive. Can I help you guys? 01:45:10.440 --> 01:45:15.480 Oh I'll let I'll let you do it. I'm gonna come over here and I'm gonna be Dan 01:45:16.360 --> 01:45:20.680 I'm gonna be producer Dan and do a merge message Hey lexus 01:45:20.680 --> 01:45:23.640 I'm starting a new. Oh, wait. Is his mic on Dan is your mic on 01:45:24.440 --> 01:45:26.440 Am I in two mics? 01:45:27.960 --> 01:45:32.360 Oh And he's not going to fix it for me. Wow, what a guy 01:45:36.120 --> 01:45:39.480 Yeah, maybe the other way around Nice 01:45:39.480 --> 01:45:47.160 Hi lexus, I'm starting a new watercool build Do you think it's possible to flood the loop with an inert gas that is denser than air? 01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:51.800 Before I fill the loop so that I can avoid bacterial buildup 01:45:53.480 --> 01:45:57.080 Hi mason b You are overthinking it 01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:02.200 You just need to put a little bit of biocide in your loop once you fill it and that is going to take 01:46:02.840 --> 01:46:08.360 Get you right sorted out. It's not going to affect performance and as cool as it is to like 01:46:09.400 --> 01:46:11.800 Put inert gas in your loop or whatever 01:46:13.160 --> 01:46:17.800 Yeah, you you really really Really really don't need to do that 01:46:20.200 --> 01:46:24.840 I mean if you do make a video about it like that sounds fire, but uh, yeah, you don't have to 01:46:25.400 --> 01:46:33.000 Matthew M says I was considering using magnetic cable management power brick holders to mount some external hard drives under my desk 01:46:33.480 --> 01:46:38.680 But given the powerful magnets, I was kind of curious good idea or bad idea 01:46:39.320 --> 01:46:41.640 You would actually be very surprised 01:46:42.440 --> 01:46:48.680 Oh Metal maxine and Floatplane chat says argon cool pc. Okay. I have actually wanted for quite some time to 01:46:49.480 --> 01:46:52.120 See what happens if you cool the pc 01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:58.200 With some other gas like like a denser gas. Can you like carry the heat away from a heat sink faster? 01:46:58.280 --> 01:47:02.280 Like I don't know. I don't know. It's it's something I've wanted to experiment with for a long time 01:47:02.600 --> 01:47:09.480 Someday someday we'll do it but but not yet. Um, well, what was I talking about again? Uh, oh, I think I lost it 01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:14.680 Right You would be very surprised how powerful of a magnet 01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:18.040 You need to have any kind of impact on a hard drive 01:47:18.520 --> 01:47:22.120 Like I mean even hard drive manufacturers are having a hard time 01:47:22.600 --> 01:47:25.480 Controlling flipping the bits and they have to use like heat assisted 01:47:26.040 --> 01:47:29.240 Recording in some of the highest end drives now and some of their most dense drives 01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:37.560 Um, tyinen actually did a really good short on the LTT channel where he showed that unless you get into absolutely 01:47:38.120 --> 01:47:45.960 ridiculous territory A magnet is not going to do anything to your hard drive. So I would say you definitely can 01:47:48.520 --> 01:47:53.720 But I would question the need to do that because if you're if your drive is sort of 01:47:54.360 --> 01:47:58.040 Permanently enough there that you need to like cable manage it into your setup 01:47:59.720 --> 01:48:05.400 Maybe it would be better to just install it as an internal drive. There is a performance advantage to doing that over usb 01:48:08.520 --> 01:48:13.880 Look at yeah, tyinen says it'll stop the motor if it's too close. Yes, but if it's in an external hard drive enclosure 01:48:14.200 --> 01:48:20.040 It shouldn't he doesn't recommend mounting hard drives with mcm. Okay, there you go tyinen has spoken in chat, but I 01:48:21.080 --> 01:48:28.040 Sincerely doubt I sincerely doubt that in an external enclosure you would manage to get it close enough to cause a problem 01:48:28.440 --> 01:48:32.360 but Take that for what it is. He says don't do it. So 01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:37.880 We don't recommend it officially There you go. What else we got 01:48:39.400 --> 01:48:41.400 Archive 01:48:43.960 --> 01:48:50.920 Wait, no way All right, timothy m says do you ever miss the old days in the garage and staying in my basement? 01:48:51.560 --> 01:48:57.640 timmy Okay, that's less weird than it sounds if you have the full context 01:48:58.120 --> 01:49:04.440 Because there was a year that we went down to I think it was packs and we did stay in 01:49:05.080 --> 01:49:11.080 timmy's basement It was it was voluntary like we were not held there against our will 01:49:11.480 --> 01:49:14.760 But but we did in fact we did in fact stay in timmy's basement 01:49:15.480 --> 01:49:18.280 It saved us. Uh, it saved us a hotel cost 01:49:18.680 --> 01:49:23.000 Which was good and we got to hang out with timmy tech tv, which was also good 01:49:23.640 --> 01:49:30.920 And yeah, I actually had our our christmas dinner our first ever annual christmas dinner for smash champs last night 01:49:31.320 --> 01:49:35.160 And between the full timers and part timers. I think we're up to about 01:49:35.960 --> 01:49:39.240 17 people 15 of which attended the christmas dinner 01:49:39.800 --> 01:49:45.240 And it was it was pretty it was pretty fun. It was it was different LMG has gotten 01:49:46.040 --> 01:49:53.240 bigger in all the ways that are good And in all the ways that are not as good, um, you know, we have to be 01:49:54.280 --> 01:49:59.960 It's it's it's a more corporate vibe things are a little more controlled. They're a little more structured 01:50:00.200 --> 01:50:08.440 They're not really off the cuff anymore And there's definitely really good things about that from like, uh, you know liability and insurance and and you know 01:50:09.880 --> 01:50:13.960 hr Streamlining and you know all these things perspective 01:50:14.120 --> 01:50:17.880 But there are things that are more fun about working with a really small team 01:50:18.360 --> 01:50:22.760 And it was it was fun. It was it was fun kind of hanging out with smash champs team 01:50:22.760 --> 01:50:26.360 Even though I I only really know a handful of them 01:50:26.440 --> 01:50:29.880 Like some of them are pretty some of them are really new like everyone's pretty new 01:50:29.960 --> 01:50:37.480 I mean it only soft opened a few months ago But some of them are especially new like some have been kind of working behind the scenes in the lead up to the launch 01:50:37.480 --> 01:50:43.560 So I've and and I knew them before hiring them. So so those folks it's uh, it's a little more natural 01:50:43.640 --> 01:50:46.200 Just like hanging out with but uh, yeah, everyone else is pretty cool, too 01:50:48.520 --> 01:50:53.720 Archive man, these are these are coming in pretty fast here getting the merch mess. Are you you guys doing okay over there? 01:50:54.040 --> 01:50:59.080 Yeah, ragnarok's just having a little bit of an issue booting. We're getting an error code that we're just trying to resolve right now 01:50:59.160 --> 01:51:01.160 okay, but 01:51:07.480 --> 01:51:10.760 Wow, uh, it oh man at that point 01:51:11.880 --> 01:51:17.560 Would it be faster to go get a higher speed nick and install it and then copy it? 01:51:18.520 --> 01:51:23.480 I think it might Oh, yeah, okay. Yes team drive and 01:51:24.280 --> 01:51:27.720 I don't know where it is. No one knows where this team drive is. Oh good. Hey 01:51:28.120 --> 01:51:31.240 Professional tech media company. Don't worry. We've got this. Uh, what was I gonna say? 01:51:31.240 --> 01:51:35.800 Oh, yeah, do we have resizable bar installed while he's going and doing that Do you want to make sure rebar is enabled in the BIOS? 01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:41.000 It should be by default on a modern board like that, but we should double check because arc will not 01:51:41.560 --> 01:51:43.560 perform its best without resizable bar 01:51:45.400 --> 01:51:51.080 All right, what else we got here Brandon s says I'm sure you couldn't make a whole episode about it 01:51:51.160 --> 01:51:55.000 But if you could take an excuse to look at wheelchairs and hearing aid tech someday 01:51:55.000 --> 01:51:58.360 It'd be validating to see someone talk about how old the tech is 01:51:58.360 --> 01:52:02.360 Yeah, the fact that the fact that it's been so obvious 01:52:02.920 --> 01:52:06.200 for so long that apple was gunning for 01:52:06.840 --> 01:52:08.840 hearing the hearing aid market the 01:52:09.880 --> 01:52:16.120 The accessibility market and the incumbents have as far as I can tell effectively done 01:52:16.840 --> 01:52:21.640 Nothing to prevent them from coming in and completely disrupting their industry is 01:52:22.520 --> 01:52:28.120 Flipping wild to me. It shows how something can be as mainstream as apple 01:52:30.200 --> 01:52:32.920 And you can still have an entire industry being like 01:52:34.040 --> 01:52:37.160 Dump the dump the dome nothing is going to happen 01:52:37.320 --> 01:52:43.000 We can just keep charging in sane amounts of money for ancient technology. Everything should be fine. I guess 01:52:43.960 --> 01:52:48.360 Absolutely wild to me As for wheelchairs, I got to be honest with you 01:52:48.440 --> 01:52:54.760 I don't know enough about it But I do know that that's something that jerry rig everything talks about a fair bit and has done some really cool stuff in the space 01:52:55.160 --> 01:52:59.880 That's realistically the most that I know about it. The only reason I know anything about hearing aids 01:52:59.880 --> 01:53:05.560 It's just because I have a family member who is uh, who's hard of hearing and who worked in a school for the deaf 01:53:05.800 --> 01:53:09.240 So I know a little bit of sign language. I know a little bit about 01:53:09.880 --> 01:53:12.600 um, I know a little bit about the culture, but 01:53:13.320 --> 01:53:21.800 I'm always hesitant to I know enough about these communities to know that coming in as an outsider and talking about it is 01:53:22.840 --> 01:53:28.760 Not necessarily something that I should be doing and while some people might be chill with it and appreciate the spotlight 01:53:29.400 --> 01:53:32.360 Others would really prefer that I yield that spotlight to 01:53:33.080 --> 01:53:37.080 you know, um members of that community, so 01:53:37.320 --> 01:53:43.080 It's a It's a tricky it's a tricky thing and I we have looked at some for example 01:53:43.640 --> 01:53:46.920 Accessible controllers and stuff in the past, but it's not something that I like to 01:53:47.560 --> 01:53:49.560 Dive into too much 01:53:50.840 --> 01:53:56.440 Um Pugboy says air pods don't compete with the concealed style of modern hearing aids though and that's fair enough 01:53:56.520 --> 01:54:00.040 But with the number of people that I see just walking around wearing air pods 01:54:00.120 --> 01:54:04.120 I'd say having air pods in your ears is as stealthy as just about anything 01:54:04.760 --> 01:54:08.680 like I don't know. I don't know just saying 01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:17.320 just saying But I can totally understand that everyone has very different feelings and you know what works for them works for them and 01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:20.920 My perspective on this is obviously limited at best 01:54:21.800 --> 01:54:25.960 Thank you. All right archive that 01:54:27.240 --> 01:54:33.320 Anonymous asks I was looking at those little 3d printed CPU clam shells that you guys use. Where do you get them? 01:54:33.640 --> 01:54:39.800 I thought they looked 3d printed. If so, have you released the stl stl file or do you plan on releasing the stl file? 01:54:40.280 --> 01:54:47.240 We absolutely plan to release the stl files for all the cool little things that we have created internally to make our lives a 01:54:47.240 --> 01:54:54.200 Little bit easier It has taken some time for us to get that off the ground for reasons that I'm sure make sense to the people who are working on it 01:54:54.200 --> 01:55:01.160 But I do not fully understand It's been a little frustrating to me that it has taken so long for us to release this stuff 01:55:01.480 --> 01:55:04.040 But I have been assured that in the next 01:55:04.680 --> 01:55:11.880 Weeks not months. We're going to have our repository up with some of the cool little stuff that we have like we have for example 01:55:11.880 --> 01:55:13.880 for our magnetic cable management 01:55:15.960 --> 01:55:22.600 Power power bar key holder one we have we have one that takes one of those on one side and then hold a screwdriver on the other side 01:55:22.760 --> 01:55:29.240 We've got Uh, man, I don't know. We have so much stuff. We have like little stacking things that hold screwdrivers 01:55:29.240 --> 01:55:33.640 I think we've got we've got a ton of stuff including those those little CPU holders 01:55:33.640 --> 01:55:36.040 And we want to put it all in a repository for people to use 01:55:42.040 --> 01:55:49.000 Hi there says yi chuan I just found out my black friday package got processed in germany yesterday, but i'm in china 01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:52.840 How much chance I will have it before chinese new year? 01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:56.200 I'm going to be honest with you yi chuan 01:55:56.840 --> 01:56:01.080 I have no idea I cannot imagine 01:56:01.400 --> 01:56:05.240 Why it would have been more practical for them to go all the way across north america 01:56:05.960 --> 01:56:09.640 All the way across the atlantic ocean and then 01:56:09.640 --> 01:56:15.320 Well into europe to route to china anyone in chat like is that is that a thing? 01:56:15.880 --> 01:56:19.400 Versus just going over the pacific like 01:56:19.400 --> 01:56:22.280 My best guess is that it just has to do with like capacity 01:56:22.760 --> 01:56:26.520 And you know how much capacity there is on the cargo planes and and that's how they're picking 01:56:27.320 --> 01:56:31.720 That's how they're picking the route versus, you know, the shortest possible distance 01:56:32.440 --> 01:56:36.760 drakis says that germany is the major shipping hub and i'm like, okay 01:56:37.400 --> 01:56:39.400 Like that's cool 01:56:41.080 --> 01:56:47.320 But yeah, annan max store says my package is headed to peru and is also in germany 01:56:48.920 --> 01:56:55.080 Okay Sure, I have never been in china and ordered something from north america before 01:56:56.040 --> 01:56:59.240 so Shut up 01:56:59.240 --> 01:57:02.360 dig tf says i've ordered on LTT Store before 01:57:03.400 --> 01:57:09.480 I live in new zealand And that goes through germany as well. And that's just what because dhl is german 01:57:10.360 --> 01:57:14.440 Too far gone says they live in new zealand theirs didn't so it seems to just come down to 01:57:15.160 --> 01:57:17.160 Whatever makes the most sense 01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:23.080 To them with their logic All right, good job everybody 01:57:25.480 --> 01:57:28.760 Cool same for india apparently says joshua. All right, cool 01:57:30.360 --> 01:57:33.800 Wolf west says i think it's due to dhl doing that to save money i 01:57:35.000 --> 01:57:41.800 Someday someday i will work in the shipping and logistics industry and i will learn how that helps save money 01:57:42.600 --> 01:57:48.120 Shipping things halfway around the world before sending them back the other halfway around the world in the other direction 01:57:48.760 --> 01:57:55.480 but Now i do i have not done that and i do not know so i have no insight to share with you 01:57:55.560 --> 01:57:57.560 How's that going over there good? 01:58:01.400 --> 01:58:03.800 But we could play the other games if you want let's do that 01:58:04.680 --> 01:58:07.480 Let's do it. Let's play you suck at parking Linus. All right 01:58:07.960 --> 01:58:11.560 I assume this is a controller game. Do we have any controllers handy trick question? 01:58:11.880 --> 01:58:15.960 David has a whole wall of controllers over there. So why don't we um, yes, sir grabbing one really quick 01:58:16.600 --> 01:58:18.600 Thank you so much appreciate you 01:58:20.440 --> 01:58:23.400 So i just hit the mute button again. I didn't oh good 01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:29.480 Uh metal maxine says Dan has an international logistics degree. I think is that true Dan? 01:58:30.040 --> 01:58:35.720 Yeah Okay, can you explain why everything routes through germany instead of going like maybe on a direct path? 01:58:36.040 --> 01:58:40.760 Uh, let me just mute this mic probably because of like the standard distribution hubs, right? 01:58:41.080 --> 01:58:43.720 If i am always sending planes to one place 01:58:44.200 --> 01:58:49.480 Just go to that one place instead of going somewhere else right if there's no direct connection 01:58:50.440 --> 01:58:55.240 Yeah, it's kind of frustrating. You think from like west coast north america to china 01:58:55.960 --> 01:59:01.000 Like it's china. You think that you'd have the hub there. Why wouldn't you? I mean like most fedex 01:59:01.480 --> 01:59:08.840 I believe goes through is it is it memphis? Like every single fedex plane goes to their hub. They do all their maintenance everything like that 01:59:09.400 --> 01:59:14.440 Okay, okay plane maintenance. Sure. I don't remember where ups is. Is that detroit? 01:59:14.840 --> 01:59:19.160 I feel like this is the kind of thing that like ai would actually be perfect for helping with 01:59:19.560 --> 01:59:24.360 I mean they're probably using it already. I I just mean if you were to if you were to have 01:59:25.080 --> 01:59:28.760 You know more hubs, yeah, then you could kind of help to solve for 01:59:29.640 --> 01:59:34.840 You know, what's the most efficient way to have it go do some stuff and then end up back at the main depot for maintenance or whatever 01:59:34.840 --> 01:59:40.360 I don't know, but sure there you have it. It's more cost effective apparently to just have your main hubs 01:59:40.840 --> 01:59:46.280 and then have everybody you know who is an expert at doing whatever the crap it is that they're doing there and 01:59:46.840 --> 01:59:50.040 Sure, okay. Oh cool. Hey, we've got the nixie npo one 01:59:51.160 --> 01:59:55.960 Let's go press right trigger to accelerate.

Okay before we do that though 02:07:00.600 --> 02:07:04.200 Let's go ahead and grab our portable copy of hardware info 02:07:04.280 --> 02:07:06.920 Which is a super super awesome hardware monitoring program 02:07:07.320 --> 02:07:12.120 And I want to see what kind of temps we're getting on our CPU and GPU in spite of the fact that we have 02:07:13.800 --> 02:07:17.880 Functionally no case airflow Which is that the one rear fan 02:07:18.040 --> 02:07:21.880 Which in fairness is all we can really expect for a 35 dollar case, but 02:07:22.440 --> 02:07:26.920 Um, it's not necessarily ideal for having your hardware running as nicely as possible 02:07:28.040 --> 02:07:30.680 All right CPU, which one do we want? 02:07:31.560 --> 02:07:33.800 Sure, we'll take um t die 02:07:36.280 --> 02:07:43.080 Okay, so we've got a little graph for our CPU now. Let's go grab a little graph for our GPU 02:07:44.520 --> 02:07:51.640 GPU core temperature GPU global oh the current maximum temperature. Okay, so that'll be our hot spot probably 02:07:52.120 --> 02:07:55.480 Okay, let's grab our hot spot and our core temp for the GPU 02:07:56.120 --> 02:08:00.840 Oh shoot. I always I always 02:08:01.000 --> 02:08:08.040 Do that Oh, of course, it's a web search because why wouldn't it be a web search? Thanks microsoft 02:08:10.840 --> 02:08:18.280 I always do that I uh specifically removed the ability to do that on your wan laptops 02:08:21.160 --> 02:08:24.040 Easy what sorry what ability did you remove from my wan laptop? 02:08:24.200 --> 02:08:27.720 They'd be able to the ability to web search from the start menu 02:08:28.440 --> 02:08:32.840 Oh, really? Yeah, this computer and the other one too. Yeah, I hate it 02:08:34.360 --> 02:08:42.680 We should do uh We should do just like a like a Windows modding guide. Oh, yeah, just Windows Windows. Yeah 02:08:42.840 --> 02:08:47.240 Like it'd be probably a great little Floatplane exclusive. No, no, I think that could be a mainline video 02:08:47.560 --> 02:08:54.120 Elijah do you mind do you mind adding that to the next writer's meeting? We'll do just like little tweaks like that. You do like 10 Windows tips to make Windows better 02:08:54.280 --> 02:08:58.200 um, there's some there's some really good stuff like better indexing for um 02:08:59.080 --> 02:09:03.720 Uh for network folder shares and stuff like that. So you don't have to wait around forever. I will add it to the writer's meeting 02:09:03.960 --> 02:09:07.000 Yeah, handful handful of stuff like that would be really cool. Okay 02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:12.040 Okay, god of war ragnarok. Let's go. Oh, I guess I'll be using my controller again probably 02:09:13.240 --> 02:09:17.400 Casual Yeah, I'm not gonna you're not gonna play god of war with the mouse keyboard. I know 02:09:18.360 --> 02:09:21.640 cheese Casual this guy 02:09:21.880 --> 02:09:27.960 Oh, what's updating Oh, okay, come on read this. Okay. Do you want to hit me with the merge message in the meantime then? Yeah, sure 02:09:28.040 --> 02:09:31.240 I think I've got one left here. Sure Linus 02:09:31.240 --> 02:09:36.360 Could you showcase the commuter backpack and would it come with the big locking carabiner like the LTT backpack? 02:09:36.600 --> 02:09:38.600 Loved it, but sadly lost it 02:09:39.640 --> 02:09:47.160 Oh, you lost your original Oh, dude, it's so big. How'd you lose it? No, just kidding. I'm just making fun of our gigantic backpack 02:09:47.480 --> 02:09:53.640 Um, yeah, sure. I can show you guys the commuter bag if you really want we do have a commercial we just did and I believe 02:09:54.520 --> 02:10:00.920 Oh, no, I think they just did the photography the product photography for the product page. So I guess that yeah, it's probably 02:10:01.640 --> 02:10:05.640 Not up there yet Hmm 02:10:05.880 --> 02:10:13.160 Oh, seriously Wow, thanks so much. Wow, there's so many people watching the stream today. How you guys doing youtube chat. I never talked to you guys 02:10:14.200 --> 02:10:19.160 Kato-san says I play god of war ragnarok using mouse and keyboard. Ha ha ha. See this is why I don't talk to you guys 02:10:19.800 --> 02:10:23.960 because your psychos God of war with a keyboard and mouse 02:10:23.960 --> 02:10:28.360 I mean, I've never played god of war. So for all I know it's a perfectly valid option. I'm just bugging you 02:10:28.920 --> 02:10:35.800 Hmm connor suggests if you do a d-Windows Windows, you should do it in sections. This is safe 02:10:36.920 --> 02:10:44.680 beginner friendly And then like increasing levels of kind of dangerous like before you get into kind of any sort of like registry editing 02:10:44.760 --> 02:10:49.400 Yeah, exactly. I think removing the web searches registry registry. Yeah 02:10:50.200 --> 02:10:57.080 man, but the thing is like if you I think there's scripts for it though. Yeah. Oh scripts are scarier 02:10:57.320 --> 02:11:02.360 I think running a script that edits your registry is way less safe 02:11:03.160 --> 02:11:07.240 than Changing a couple of values, especially because the values often have names 02:11:07.800 --> 02:11:13.960 that somewhat Seen kind of intuitive to what they do like if you're running a script that changes your registry 02:11:14.440 --> 02:11:17.800 I'd be pretty I'd be pretty skizzed out by that 02:11:17.960 --> 02:11:24.360 Don't I continue through the setup of god of war or the backpack you were on the backpack for the commuter 02:11:24.360 --> 02:11:28.360 I can get through the setup if you want, right? um 02:11:28.360 --> 02:11:32.440 Yeah, sure. Do you want to do want to do the setup just to see if I can kind of run you guys through it 02:11:32.840 --> 02:11:36.760 It's obviously not as big. Oh look, Elijah's backpack is here. That's convenient 02:11:38.040 --> 02:11:42.040 Elijah, I'm going to borrow your backpack just for size reference. I'm not going to dig through it. Yeah 02:11:43.080 --> 02:11:45.400 Okay, so there's the size comparison 02:11:46.120 --> 02:11:50.280 But what's really cool about the commuter bag is that it's not as 02:11:50.920 --> 02:11:57.240 Smaller or as it seems in terms of carrying capacity because the original bag has an internal water bottle holder 02:11:57.560 --> 02:12:00.600 And the commuter bag has an external water bottle holder 02:12:01.080 --> 02:12:06.680 so You do you do definitely have less carrying capacity and one of the biggest differences 02:12:07.480 --> 02:12:12.920 is here In the like device carry. Oh, okay. Well, I can't open it 02:12:13.160 --> 02:12:17.240 But the point is that the original backpack has enough room to like 02:12:17.640 --> 02:12:24.760 Stuff a steam deck at the bottom on top of your laptop and your tablet and then like another screen safe pocket there 02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:27.640 This is really designed for laptop tablet 02:12:28.440 --> 02:12:32.520 And that's about it if you want. Oh, hey look Dan's got his there you go 02:12:32.760 --> 02:12:36.360 So there's the original which you could put like truly ridiculous 02:12:37.000 --> 02:12:43.240 Class of hardware in and still have room for like your your chargers and whatever else you need 02:12:43.880 --> 02:12:47.560 And then yeah, like I said, it's got the two screen safe pockets 02:12:47.960 --> 02:12:53.800 Instead of just the one in the commuter and then this thick boy pocket that has screen safe material at the bottom 02:12:54.200 --> 02:12:57.480 For like an ally or steam deck or a claw or something like that 02:12:57.960 --> 02:13:01.000 so a little bit less device capacity, but 02:13:01.000 --> 02:13:05.400 The pouch of holding does make a triumphant return 02:13:05.800 --> 02:13:12.520 So you can just like stash your tech sack down in the bottom here. You've got a bunch of organizing pockets including some that are 02:13:13.720 --> 02:13:19.160 Magnetic, let's go or have zippers or like other means of kind of holding stuff in place 02:13:19.800 --> 02:13:24.680 um Little kind of pocket down here our air tag pocket makes a return 02:13:25.240 --> 02:13:32.760 um It doesn't have the front organizing pouch either though, which I really like for quick access, but it's a smaller bag 02:13:32.760 --> 02:13:36.520 What do you want? I think it's 25 rather than 35 liters or something like that 02:13:36.520 --> 02:13:40.200 Does anyone know does anyone remember off the top of their head? It'll be on the product page. Don't quote me on that 02:13:40.920 --> 02:13:48.520 um, but All of that is while still being very tech forward while still having extremely robust build quality 02:13:48.520 --> 02:13:53.560 So we've got our dual grommets on the carrying straps. So that's not going to come off. It's not going to wear out 02:13:53.880 --> 02:13:57.720 we've got um a reinforced stitch 02:13:58.440 --> 02:14:02.840 As well as a grommet on the bottom here because I hate it when stuff like that wears out 02:14:03.080 --> 02:14:06.920 Especially because it costs so little to reinforce it 02:14:07.400 --> 02:14:13.480 We've got the same style of straps that have been extremely popular on the original bag with sort of the the bridge here 02:14:13.960 --> 02:14:22.600 But we have the new contoured Shoulder straps that help make it a little bit more friendly to people with different widths of frames 02:14:23.160 --> 02:14:28.040 That's a piece of feedback that we've gotten a lot on the original backpack is for more petite people 02:14:28.600 --> 02:14:32.920 It can be quite big and quite quite quite wide and it doesn't really 02:14:35.080 --> 02:14:40.840 Doesn't really come in and like like sit properly on their body. So these new contoured ones seem to be very 02:14:41.800 --> 02:14:47.960 Widely compatible with humans. I think that's about all I have to say about that since this game is apparently ready for us to play 02:14:48.680 --> 02:14:55.080 We are currently on 4k medium, but you could adjust if you would like. Yeah, I think we're not going to go 4k. Okay, let's go 02:14:56.520 --> 02:14:58.520 Let's go 02:14:59.640 --> 02:15:01.640 Uh, wait, seriously, is this not going to let me? 02:15:05.880 --> 02:15:13.000 Oh, yeah, sure. Sorry, Andy. Watch your cable. Is it how do I uh, seriously? I don't want to 02:15:13.720 --> 02:15:18.520 You're good Why why is modern gaming like this? 02:15:20.120 --> 02:15:27.320 Do I just have to set the render scale? Uh, you might have to change the full screen. So no, it's that doesn't work. Oh, I missed. Okay 02:15:28.840 --> 02:15:34.520 So if I go windowed Then I'm just stuck with windowed. There's no full screen windowed 02:15:35.640 --> 02:15:41.240 Let's see if chat has the solution here. Like is it just uh, is it just a scaling thing like render scale? 02:15:41.880 --> 02:15:43.880 No, this is just taa 02:15:45.320 --> 02:15:51.880 Yeah, I might have to adjust it in Windows Seriously, it might be going based off your window settings. Oh, that is so stupid 02:15:55.320 --> 02:15:59.880 Ridiculous people are like change desktop resolution. That is 02:16:01.400 --> 02:16:08.680 That is ridiculous. Um Okay, well, give me a minute. There's a couple other things that I want to have a look at. Okay. We're on xcss 02:16:09.240 --> 02:16:12.120 Taa quality. Let's go, uh 02:16:13.480 --> 02:16:17.880 Let's go quality Oh, well that changes our resolution 02:16:18.760 --> 02:16:22.520 Sure. Okay. Our render resolution is a little 02:16:23.320 --> 02:16:29.000 Oh false Our render resolution is a little above 1080p and then we're going to be using xcss to upscale it 02:16:29.080 --> 02:16:33.720 That's about what I had wanted to do anyway So there we go 02:16:34.520 --> 02:16:42.200 Cool Okay, anything with dead zones. Can I get rid of dead zones? Oh, that wouldn't be in here anyway 02:16:43.480 --> 02:16:48.200 Uh, okay Controller view controls. Can I 02:16:49.000 --> 02:16:51.000 No, that's it. Maybe it's in gameplay 02:16:52.200 --> 02:17:02.280 I hate dead zones And I can't adjust them. Okay, great. Oh, whatever. I'm over it. Oh my god. We're compiling shaders 02:17:02.280 --> 02:17:09.160 Uh, what do you guys have running on here for FPS monitoring? Is that frame view or is that just the built-in steam one? 02:17:09.160 --> 02:17:17.000 That's built in steam one Did we did we not get frame view? No, because we had the built-in steam one. Okay, uh, the built-in steam one sucks 02:17:17.080 --> 02:17:19.080 We should use frame view 02:17:20.920 --> 02:17:24.840 Oh Is it dead zone the new like MOBA shooter? 02:17:25.960 --> 02:17:29.080 Uh No deadlock 02:17:29.080 --> 02:17:34.040 But very close Mr. David, can I help you? Are you 02:17:34.120 --> 02:17:38.680 I'm just hanging out on private. Oh, okay. We're seven minutes over. Oh, okay 02:17:40.120 --> 02:17:44.920 Just hurry it up. Okay. David's just standing here waiting to shoot in the video. I lucky 02:17:45.960 --> 02:17:49.080 Oh, yeah, lucky's over there. I actually am curious how this thing could do that work 02:17:49.720 --> 02:17:51.720 Dude, this thing is killer 02:17:54.840 --> 02:17:59.800 Well, yeah, but can it whatever yeah, whatever got him 02:18:01.320 --> 02:18:06.120 Okay, there we go frame view infinite and then guys, I never used the steam one 02:18:06.200 --> 02:18:08.920 How do you turn it off because I don't care about it and I don't want it 02:18:09.640 --> 02:18:12.920 And uh, Elijah enabled resizable bar. Okay, good 02:18:13.800 --> 02:18:18.360 Got it. I found it. Okay. Okay. All right. Now we have a proper FPS counter 02:18:20.840 --> 02:18:22.840 Whoa, that's new 02:18:24.680 --> 02:18:34.200 Oh, did it stop Cool. So our average FPS is sitting somewhere in the neighborhood of around 70 with our 1% lows hovering between 02:18:34.920 --> 02:18:39.960 High 40s and low 50s, occasionally dipping way down to about 30 02:18:44.520 --> 02:18:52.120 It looks really good. We're above 1080p, right? We're like I want to uh, I want to skip this. Can I skip this? No 02:18:52.440 --> 02:18:57.880 It's very short. Okay I love I love modern gaming and insert modern year 02:18:58.440 --> 02:19:07.880 Dan, do you have any merch messages? I've got one more. All right, hit me Will it be better to wait for the 50 series in videographics cards or should I go for a 4080 super currently? 02:19:08.200 --> 02:19:15.000 Just curious given the tariff situation That is a very good question and the answer is that I cannot answer that for you 02:19:15.080 --> 02:19:18.680 It seems like a lot of the tariff conversations could be just saber rattling 02:19:19.080 --> 02:19:24.440 But you never know you never know what's going to happen when a new administration takes over in the u.s 02:19:24.600 --> 02:19:28.680 And they are going to be dictating a lot of the terms for you know 02:19:29.000 --> 02:19:34.760 What the what the trading situation is going to look like into 2025 and beyond so 02:19:35.800 --> 02:19:37.800 Good luck everybody 02:19:40.600 --> 02:19:45.400 We kind of laid out everything that we had to say about it and that should you buy a pc now video that we did a 02:19:45.400 --> 02:19:50.360 Little while ago, so if you haven't watched that go ahead and watch it if you have watched it and you're looking for more 02:19:51.000 --> 02:19:55.320 Information unfortunately, I don't have any. I don't have a functioning crystal ball 02:19:56.280 --> 02:19:58.280 Sorry guys 02:20:04.440 --> 02:20:12.120 All right, how are we doing here? All right, david assured me it's short. So if it's not short then you know who to blame blame david 02:20:16.360 --> 02:20:18.360 Thankfully, he's not mic'd 02:20:20.840 --> 02:20:22.840 This is a short joke 02:20:24.280 --> 02:20:26.520 I am seeing a little bit of stutter here and there 02:20:27.320 --> 02:20:30.680 But I don't know how much of that is because we're compiling shaders in the background 02:20:30.760 --> 02:20:35.960 So unfortunately, we're probably going to have to stall for time while this finishes compiling shaders 02:20:36.040 --> 02:20:39.320 And then we can get a fair impression of how the game is running 02:20:39.400 --> 02:20:43.560 So in the meantime, uh Dan if you have any more merge messages coming in let me know otherwise 02:20:43.960 --> 02:20:49.080 Hey, maybe I'll do something really weird and I'll hang out with youtube chat for a change 02:20:51.400 --> 02:20:57.880 I know right they are Dude, they are like unhinged every time I dive into youtube chat. I'm like, why do I do this again? 02:20:58.040 --> 02:21:02.360 What about twitch chat? Maybe they have something to say. Uh, absolutely not. No 02:21:03.000 --> 02:21:06.760 Twitch chat's the worst. What do you mean twitch? That's the worst. They know they're the worst 02:21:07.560 --> 02:21:11.160 Yeah, rob gator says Linus actually has no functioning balls 02:21:11.720 --> 02:21:17.000 Uh, I don't know. That's functional. Like that's like that's a no, no, they don't function. Yeah, I was gonna say that's an accurate 02:21:17.080 --> 02:21:20.120 Twitch comment. No the uh, no the balls function 02:21:21.000 --> 02:21:28.040 It's the it's the tube that connects them that doesn't function. Yeah, so the yeah, no if anything the balls function too good 02:21:28.360 --> 02:21:33.320 That's why I had to nerf them That's a crazy statement. Otherwise I would get too many more kids 02:21:33.960 --> 02:21:38.520 So what did you call your wife on Ludwig's podcast? I called her excellent breeding stock 02:21:38.520 --> 02:21:43.880 That's a to this day a crazy sentence. What I mean it as a compliment. It's a compliment 02:21:51.160 --> 02:21:59.160 Look, it was on a different it was on a different podcast, okay It was on a different podcast where what happens at wancho stays it. Yeah, that's that wasn't wancho 02:21:59.160 --> 02:22:04.440 That was the yard. Oh, that's totally fine. Yeah. Um, there's a different show at the yard. Look, she was there 02:22:05.400 --> 02:22:09.960 She I wouldn't say I wouldn't say anything about my wife that I wouldn't say in front of her 02:22:10.360 --> 02:22:16.280 I'm just I'm just saying that like For us to not have more kids steps needed to be taken 02:22:17.400 --> 02:22:21.000 We needed to take steps. Let's just go back to youtube chat. Yeah, let's go 02:22:21.720 --> 02:22:28.360 Okay, how's youtube chat doing? We've left uh, we've left uh, uh, twitch chat now, which is good 02:22:29.560 --> 02:22:38.600 aw Extra cheese says hey, I just picked up a 7600 x 3d bundlet microcenter for my first build. What GPU should I grab? 02:22:39.240 --> 02:22:47.480 I mean, oh, that's a tough one See like the best value gaming GPU on the market right now is the arc b580 the one that we're featuring in our $500 build 02:22:47.480 --> 02:22:51.240 But you bought a 7600 x 3d. You aren't building a $500 computer 02:22:51.720 --> 02:22:58.120 So I would say at the price that you're looking at I would probably start to look more into some of AMD's 02:22:58.520 --> 02:23:00.680 More value options and I'm trying to remember 02:23:01.640 --> 02:23:06.440 What are the what are the currently available ones? I find AMD's lineup to be 02:23:07.480 --> 02:23:16.120 really Confusing like what they what they have available at any given time like something like 6700 class 02:23:16.600 --> 02:23:23.960 Yeah, it looks like those are still those are still readily available. It's like over $500. It's a good GPU though 12 gigs vram 02:23:24.440 --> 02:23:32.440 Um, I'd say that's probably a good place to start. I see some people recommending 7900 gre, but that's they got a 02:23:34.120 --> 02:23:38.680 You know, it's balanced, right? Like They bought a 7600 x 3d 02:23:39.400 --> 02:23:44.600 Right, they don't oh the gre is well the gre is cheaper than oh, it's not a stock though. Yeah, okay, so 02:23:45.880 --> 02:23:49.880 If you could get one the gre sure is a great deal 02:23:50.600 --> 02:23:54.440 But I don't see a single unit in stock does microcenter have them 02:23:59.640 --> 02:24:04.200 Man when did 70 when did 7900 gre get so cheap for kratos 02:24:05.160 --> 02:24:10.840 sometimes AMD does this though where they like have a card or they have a variant of something that 02:24:12.120 --> 02:24:16.360 theoretically exists but in practice they just like 02:24:16.680 --> 02:24:23.960 Bring it out. They make a few of them kind of disrupt the market Kind of like trash the value perception of the rest of their cards and then it functionally doesn't exist 02:24:24.520 --> 02:24:29.000 And you're just like, okay Good job AMD because now nobody knows 02:24:29.800 --> 02:24:33.160 What to recommend to anybody? um 02:24:33.160 --> 02:24:36.200 Yeah on microcenter. There's one from xfx 02:24:36.920 --> 02:24:40.440 And it says x available in store only 02:24:41.320 --> 02:24:45.800 and is out of stock in 02:24:45.960 --> 02:24:52.360 Literally every location and that's the only 7900 gre they have so it's like yeah, it's good recommendation, but functionally 02:24:53.800 --> 02:24:55.800 Doesn't exist so okay 02:24:58.280 --> 02:25:04.680 Like that's uh, I remember having a conversation about this on wancho a while back someone was like, why do you never recommend AMD 02:25:05.320 --> 02:25:10.600 Something was it like the fury fury cards or vega or something? I was like because they are not real 02:25:11.320 --> 02:25:15.720 Because AMD announced these cards made like 25 of them and then was like 02:25:17.080 --> 02:25:19.080 Derp de der 02:25:21.080 --> 02:25:24.520 And then they'll like do a price drop or whatever like promo them away and then 02:25:25.160 --> 02:25:29.960 Effectively nobody's actually making anymore and I even I even brought it up on stream. I was like here look 02:25:30.440 --> 02:25:34.360 Here's all of the like this card available on new egg. You've got like this one brand 02:25:34.840 --> 02:25:38.360 And you go to like add them to cart and if you add any more than two 02:25:38.600 --> 02:25:42.680 It's like no, sorry. You can't buy any more than that. It's out of stock and it's like yeah 02:25:43.160 --> 02:25:51.640 This is not even a real product So AMD's GPU division has done that like a number of times over the last five six years where they have these 02:25:52.200 --> 02:25:59.480 products That nobody's actually building boards for AMD doesn't seem to be actually shipping any GPU's they just exist 02:26:00.040 --> 02:26:03.240 as sort of like price disruptors 02:26:03.800 --> 02:26:08.280 For what? AMD's own lineup like i'm not saying price disruptors are bad. They're good 02:26:08.360 --> 02:26:13.160 But they have to actually be available. So that's one of the things that i've talked to Intel about with arc b580s 02:26:13.240 --> 02:26:17.960 Like hey, you need to talk to the partners You need to be like look guys, okay 02:26:18.760 --> 02:26:27.160 259 99 269 99 for like, you know, if you've got a nice big cool or a really nice design or something like that, okay, but 02:26:27.800 --> 02:26:31.560 Don't let this get out of control Don't let them 02:26:31.560 --> 02:26:37.320 Be like oh, well finally an opportunity to make money on arc. Well, let's make another 20 bucks 02:26:38.280 --> 02:26:42.440 A short-term thinking you've got to buy some market share right now work with the partners 02:26:42.760 --> 02:26:47.000 Make sure you guys are getting these cards in the hands of gamers building up the brand 02:26:47.400 --> 02:26:51.480 Building up the install base giving the driver team something to actually 02:26:52.200 --> 02:26:58.680 a reason to work on Improving their drivers so you have more than you know dozens of people out there enjoying arc graphics like 02:26:59.240 --> 02:27:04.200 Get the team motivated. You guys all got to be pulling together. There'll be time to make money make money later 02:27:04.520 --> 02:27:12.200 Now is not the time Um, so i'm i'm hoping i'm hoping that that makes its way to the top that that makes its way to the add-in board partners 02:27:13.320 --> 02:27:17.480 I can't guarantee it, but I can hope 02:27:19.160 --> 02:27:23.720 Shoot i just do it again I don't know what it is, but i'm gonna put this on the other side because i'm 02:27:24.520 --> 02:27:28.120 No, no, no, i'm just i'm gonna put it on the other side so that i don't do that anymore 02:27:28.280 --> 02:27:32.120 Okay, there we go now. I can now I can lean against my table. I can get comfortable here 02:27:32.920 --> 02:27:36.120 All right shaders are almost compiled. We're at 89 02:27:38.280 --> 02:27:40.280 And this boy is still running pretty good 02:27:41.800 --> 02:27:43.800 Definitely a little bit of pop in there 02:27:47.560 --> 02:27:49.560 Definitely some dips and one percent lows 02:27:51.560 --> 02:27:54.920 Definitely a wolf But it's a very demanding game though 02:27:55.000 --> 02:28:00.360 I was gonna say this price is actually cheaper than like a ps5 and a ps5 pro, right? So like no 02:28:01.000 --> 02:28:08.840 500 dollars. Well, no, sorry the the discless version. I guess no the the ps5 was on promo this black friday for like 02:28:09.000 --> 02:28:11.480 Oh, wasn't it? Oh, I missed that then. Oh, that's my bad 02:28:12.280 --> 02:28:16.520 Yeah, i'm trying to think I think that was that like 350 bucks or something like that. There were some 02:28:17.240 --> 02:28:22.360 380 oh, okay ps5 slims were going for as low as 380 for black friday 02:28:22.440 --> 02:28:27.240 So a playstation is still an outstanding value from a hardware standpoint 02:28:27.400 --> 02:28:31.880 But the difference is that you're locked into their game store. So you're not going to be able to use 02:28:32.680 --> 02:28:36.440 Our sponsor green man gaming to get tons of great deals on games 02:28:37.240 --> 02:28:41.800 You're going to be stuck paying with with a console. You're going to be stuck paying subscription fees potentially 02:28:41.800 --> 02:28:46.520 You're going to be stuck with a higher potential cost to repair it if anything happens down the line 02:28:46.520 --> 02:28:49.800 Whereas with a pc that's modular like this something goes wrong. You just 02:28:50.680 --> 02:28:54.120 Fart a new one into it and you're good to go. So there are 02:28:55.160 --> 02:29:00.040 Like anything there are pros and cons both ways people who game on playstation are not idiots 02:29:00.920 --> 02:29:07.240 They just take that set of trade-offs that they prefer and people who game on pc are not big dumb idiots 02:29:07.800 --> 02:29:10.280 They're just people who prefer that set of trade-offs 02:29:11.160 --> 02:29:18.680 So no a playstation 5 is absolutely still a very compelling value from a hardware standpoint. It's just that what we are now 02:29:19.480 --> 02:29:25.080 Is very comfortably Within the price bracket where we're within the price range 02:29:25.480 --> 02:29:31.000 Instead of having awkward conversations that go hey Linus. I bought a 7600 x3d at micro center 02:29:31.240 --> 02:29:38.600 What GPU would you recommend and literally the only like step up class of GPU that I find is going to cost you 600 freaking dollars 02:29:38.680 --> 02:29:45.800 Just for the GPU before you've even got a case CPU RAM power supply cooler anything else, right? 02:29:46.360 --> 02:29:49.720 And that's what I am super excited about. That's why we did the stream 02:29:49.720 --> 02:29:53.640 We only planned this stream when I sat down and did script review 02:29:54.200 --> 02:29:57.720 um No, I think it was even after script review. I think it was 02:29:58.440 --> 02:30:04.280 When we uploaded the video I watched it back. I started reading some of the comments from people and I was like holy crap 02:30:05.240 --> 02:30:09.800 We can we could oh no It must have been script review because it was in script review that I was like 02:30:09.800 --> 02:30:13.000 Hey, we should talk about how you can kind of build a $500 gaming pc again 02:30:13.000 --> 02:30:18.440 Okay, it must have been then but we only planned this like last minute to do a stream building a $500 gaming pc because 02:30:19.560 --> 02:30:24.520 I was like Oh my goodness. This is it. This is the key. This is what unlocks it 02:30:25.480 --> 02:30:28.840 So this was just because I was excited to finally be able to show you guys 02:30:30.360 --> 02:30:36.920 With a straight face a great value gaming machine with all new parts for around 500 bucks 02:30:36.920 --> 02:30:41.640 It's 540 for those of you tuning in now $540 we did cheat a little bit 02:30:41.720 --> 02:30:45.960 But there are areas where you could save yourself 40 bucks instead of buying a brand new case 02:30:46.200 --> 02:30:49.080 You could just go find one at a local recycler 02:30:49.480 --> 02:30:53.240 ATX standard hasn't changed in years decades literally decades 02:30:53.560 --> 02:30:57.000 So you could throw this hardware in some random case pull the side panel off 02:30:57.320 --> 02:31:01.400 You know get out a pair of pliers You've been things out of the way if you got to stick your GPU in there 02:31:01.400 --> 02:31:06.040 You could save some money there You could probably save some money on the motherboard if you're willing to go for like a weird 02:31:06.600 --> 02:31:11.480 like, you know tau Taobao brand or something like that 02:31:11.960 --> 02:31:16.920 I think you could probably save a buck on the power supply if you're willing to go with like a thermal take smart 02:31:17.080 --> 02:31:25.560 You could even get this under 500 bucks But 540 was what we were comfortable with with all brand new parts from brands that we know are going to actually back you up 02:31:25.560 --> 02:31:35.560 In the event of a warranty claim or something like that Freaking incredible our shaders are 99% compiled and let's have a look at god of war rag and rock 02:31:35.720 --> 02:31:39.640 On a $500 gaming pc we're running at 4k, but not native 02:31:39.640 --> 02:31:43.960 We're using xcss upscaling and so the native rendering is at about 02:31:44.520 --> 02:31:51.080 1080p So this is about what you'd get at 1080p in terms of frame rates about it's actually a little higher 02:31:52.120 --> 02:32:00.600 All right Come on shaders Man, don't you love that don't you love that computer developers? They they have the world's most 02:32:01.400 --> 02:32:05.000 warped definition of 02:32:05.000 --> 02:32:10.920 The last 1% of things that I think is possible. I and I understand it's not entirely 02:32:11.400 --> 02:32:16.360 It's not the developer's fault that can be unexpected challenges and I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it 02:32:16.360 --> 02:32:18.360 I'm not ragging on you. You do great work. Thank you 02:32:19.400 --> 02:32:25.000 but There we go. We are finally done compiling shaders. All right. Am I allowed to skip this? 02:32:27.080 --> 02:32:30.280 No, it's a cinematic experience. All right, it's a cinematic experience 02:32:31.000 --> 02:32:37.400 Well, what we can do is we can Note because there's depth of field so we can't even evaluate how sharp it looks 02:32:38.120 --> 02:32:41.800 Now we can actually not bad 02:32:43.160 --> 02:32:47.480 There's some messiness in the beard when it's moving 02:32:47.480 --> 02:32:51.320 So you're you're definitely yeah as is as his face swings back and forth 02:32:51.800 --> 02:32:57.800 If you know what you're looking for You're going to see a little bit of upscaling artifacting. I'm also seeing the odd dropped frame 02:32:58.280 --> 02:33:05.480 But we've also talked a fair bit about how this is not a 4k card. This is it well outside of its comfort zone 02:33:07.480 --> 02:33:10.680 Turkey submarine says I wish I knew the specs of the pc. Yeah, we can run through that 02:33:11.000 --> 02:33:19.880 So we've got a a Ryzen 5 5600, right? Uh, or it's a 5500. Sorry. It was a 5500. 5500 Ryzen 5 5500 6 core processor 02:33:20.280 --> 02:33:25.960 16 gigs of vdr 4 3200 megatransfer for second memory with an as rock micro atx motherboard 02:33:25.960 --> 02:33:32.200 That's the cheapest we could find from a trusted brand We've got a Corsair cx 550 550 watt power supply 02:33:32.280 --> 02:33:37.720 That was the minimum that lucas from the lab would allow us to use even though we could probably save some money with 02:33:38.280 --> 02:33:41.400 Oh, it's not there anymore, but whatever with with a cheaper power supply 02:33:41.880 --> 02:33:48.200 So the diy pc some cheap case just the cheapest thing we could find and then an Intel arc b580 02:33:49.080 --> 02:33:54.440 And a patriot p300 SSD. Oh, yeah, that's right patriot p300 SSD as well 02:33:54.440 --> 02:33:59.800 We went with a 512 gig because that's what fit in our budget if we wanted more storage then we've got four SATA ports 02:33:59.800 --> 02:34:05.720 And I did confirm there is in fact a hard drive mounting point in the bottom of the case so we could add something there 02:34:07.640 --> 02:34:11.960 And am I ever going to get to actually play the game? 02:34:12.920 --> 02:34:19.720 Remember when david said that this opening cinematic thing was short? Yeah, I remember I remember remember when chat picked this game 02:34:19.720 --> 02:34:23.000 Let's blame chat. Yeah way to go way to go Floatplane chat 02:34:24.040 --> 02:34:27.000 175 gigs of just movies. That's crazy 02:34:29.240 --> 02:34:34.200 All right, let's go come on. Yes. Yes. Yes. You need to sleep. I know it's tiring being the god of war 02:34:35.400 --> 02:34:39.960 Whoever said they wanted firefox is the game. That's not an option. You can't you can't have that 02:34:40.680 --> 02:34:42.680 Look, I know you all play firefox 02:34:44.680 --> 02:34:48.280 We just wanted you here longer. Yeah, I mean mission accomplished then I suppose 02:34:49.160 --> 02:34:52.600 All right, I'm going back to I'm going back to youtube chat. They seem more trustworthy 02:34:54.120 --> 02:34:56.120 YouTube chat redemption arc. Wow 02:34:58.200 --> 02:35:04.040 Maybe they just go really weird on friday nights. We're not at 2500 p upscaled to 4k toby. We're at more like 02:35:04.600 --> 02:35:10.680 2200 which is a lot less server than it sounds like as resolution scales 02:35:12.680 --> 02:35:17.960 The amount that you're adding is so much more or as you go bigger or 02:35:19.560 --> 02:35:24.520 Oh, whoa, look at that. We're in game. Hey, we're in game. What's up, yo? All right, we're going this way 02:35:28.120 --> 02:35:30.120 Can I run oh, okay 02:35:31.960 --> 02:35:37.560 Dude not bad Not bad. You're playing like modern triple a games 02:35:41.480 --> 02:35:43.480 Like for real on this machine 02:35:45.160 --> 02:35:51.640 Our previous attempts at like budget gaming PCs for the last like five years have been so frustrating because either 02:35:52.040 --> 02:35:57.480 We had to go second hand, which I know there's a there's a cohort of people out there that are just not going to consider it 02:35:57.800 --> 02:36:01.560 Right So we either had to go second hand, which upsets those people 02:36:02.280 --> 02:36:09.960 Or we had to seriously seriously compromise on performance like when we did our holiday buyers guide arc battle mage wasn't out yet 02:36:10.920 --> 02:36:14.760 Our recommended pc had an apu because we were like well 02:36:15.400 --> 02:36:18.600 Realistically at this price you can't afford a GPU anyway 02:36:19.000 --> 02:36:25.400 So you might as well get an apu which will game at like 1080p low in triple a games or you might even be forced to go down to 02:36:25.480 --> 02:36:29.800 720p and then you can save up for a GPU. It was like the merry christmas 02:36:30.040 --> 02:36:38.040 Wait for your birthday pc. I think was what we called it This is the merry christmas right now today pc as long as you can get your hands on an arc v580 02:36:38.920 --> 02:36:44.200 super exciting And I think that pretty much wraps us unless Dan you have another merge message or two 02:36:44.280 --> 02:36:48.040 I have one final merge message for today. All right hit me from anonymous 02:36:48.120 --> 02:36:52.760 They bought a precision multi bit and a precision built set your laptop skin looks absurd 02:36:53.080 --> 02:36:57.320 You weren't supposed to use it beyond the qualcomm daily driver challenge signed a robot 02:36:58.440 --> 02:37:03.080 Uh Oh, no way No way that could actually be dbrand 02:37:03.160 --> 02:37:06.520 I mean no one else would have any way of knowing that I wasn't supposed to continue to using it 02:37:06.520 --> 02:37:13.160 It's not even for my laptop like Honestly, I keep using it as much to upset them as anything else 02:37:13.160 --> 02:37:17.640 So they're they're on to me like look at this it has a cut out for a microsoft surface 02:37:18.200 --> 02:37:23.240 This isn't a surface You know how they're all about precision fit and everything this doesn't fit at all 02:37:23.880 --> 02:37:31.240 This is just Complete nonsense and I've added more stickers to it now. Yeah, I know it really does look awful 02:37:31.560 --> 02:37:36.520 If you don't like it dbrand, maybe you should make better skins Ooh like the glow circuit 02:37:37.320 --> 02:37:41.320 And you could check out our uh, you could check out our sponsor green man gaming 02:37:41.480 --> 02:37:44.680 I've got a great sale running right now. We picked up. Did I just break something? 02:37:44.680 --> 02:37:49.880 Cool. Did that game close when I dropped my computer next to the pc?
