Camera rolling. This AMD $5,000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade,
it's gonna be a little bit different. Like this. Give me the camera.
It's for our camera guy, Andrew. He's a really great guy.
He's witty, thoughtful, a full third of his upgrade
is going to his SO, and he's even got an accent.
Go on, say something. Oh God, I don't know what to say right now. Are you kidding me?
Say what? I thought it was gonna be awkward. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Doesn't he dream you though?
Too bad he spent his upgrade money on a bunch of gear for vlogging his motorbike tour.
So, enjoy him while he's still around everyone.
Thanks AMD, this is gonna be a good one. I'm gonna die.
Win one of three Call of Duty themed gift boxes featuring the new Ryzen 7 9800 X3D,
the fastest gaming CPU on the market,
an ASUS ROG Ally X, and even an AMD Call of Duty hat.
You can't get this gift box from any retail store, so don't miss your chance.
Head to the link in the description for your chance to win. I have to say, the vibe of this place
feels almost unnaturally cozy and comfortable for me. Hey Reese, can you please go grab something
over there for me? Sure.
Yeah, whatever, man. All right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't even notice it was so low until he walked in.
Tell me this. I mean, did you really have to go this full Lord of the Rings
hog? Ah, okay. I know we're basically hobbits.
Yeah, I know. Do you even actually have an Irish accent,
or is that just a bit you're putting on? I can't not do an Irish accent.
In all seriousness, this feels borderline obsessive. Like after work, you just come home every day
and read Lord of the Rings. I've never read any of them. My girlfriend is a big collector here.
Emma, she loves Lord of the Rings, all that sort of. But she's also a big reader, so you can see over there.
I'm very dyslexic, so I've only read probably four books
in my entire life. You roll. So, okay, I'll tell you something, right?
There's a bit of a theme in here. We're standing right by the lake. I swear to God, Andrew.
He's actually really great when he's behind the camera. A really good sense of awareness on the set.
It's literally the opposite. My girlfriend's also Swedish,
so there's a mix of Ireland and Sweden in here.
Oops. What's that? That's Swedish berries. Oh, I mean, these aren't actually Swedish, are they?
The fish ones are, yeah. How did he beat me to that? These are really famous in Sweden.
I don't know why. Since we're over here, why don't we take a look at your setup? Oh, this isn't your Wi-Fi password, is it?
Yeah, it is, yeah, I get rid of that, yeah. I don't have a router, so it's my...
So it's your neighbor's Wi-Fi password. So it's your neighbor's Wi-Fi password. It's my landlord, and he lives upstairs.
There's a lot of that kind of shit going on, so, yeah. Speaking of stealing,
let's see if we can find anything that Andrew lifted from work. Like, say, for example, this project mat.
Like, I brought that for this. Did you pay for it? No, it sounds like stolen.
Thanks, Adam. See, he shot a fair number of these, so he knows what I'm gonna be looking for.
I bet he didn't think I'd be looking for this!
This, believe it or not, that's something that we just have. I kinda like things the way they are,
you know what I mean? Organized slash, you know.
He doesn't need multiple kinds of cereal. He just needs cereal.
He likes it the way it is. Yeah, I like everything the way it is, which is why I take it out of the bag it comes in
to put it in a different jar. What I gather then from the stealing of the neighbor's Wi-Fi and all of that
is that while you haven't taken anything from the office, it's more to do with that
none of it entices you. No offense to the officer-ing,
but no, it's just not my thing. Oh, shit, straight away. Take that.
Right, there you go, yeah. That belongs to the office. There's no way you bought medical tape.
No. What about second roll of tape? We don't use that.
What about Ridge Wallet? I'm sure I'd say they could have it.
Yeah. Found an international power cord?
I'm international. I have no idea what's in there. I've heard that before.
Oh, okay, it's my old laptop. This was my main editing rig when I used to work for myself
and at the past company I worked for. Funny story, I found this laptop
by watching your videos, basically. Oh, really?
Back in 2017, yeah, not this particular one. I don't think you ever had anything to do with this laptop in particular,
but I knew what specs to look out for, all that kind of thing, just thanks to that, yeah.
Now you give people the tech tips. Let's take a look at the rig upgrade. Do you use this for editing or gaming or what?
Yeah, editing, video editing. It's kind of mid-tier. I used to do freelance work,
but right now I'm, I just do it for pleasure stuff now. Why do you have a low-profile cooler in here?
This is, yeah. Inexpertly built.
Oh, okay. With all due respect, what the actual heck is going on
with the front of this computer? I know, it's been moved from there to there and I never noticed that there was so much dust
up the front of it. We're getting rid of it, who cares? Sure are, I noticed you're going for a significantly
smaller build with the Loki Ghost S1. Yes, indeed.
Want to downsize, want to make more room on our desk over there for crafts and things like that.
And also- You're into crafting, are you? Yeah, a little bit.
It's more my girlfriend, but yeah. Okay. I craft a bit, you know. Well, I will now that I have all this new stuff.
What are you going to make? The plan is like stickers, like merch,
not the sale, like just for her friends and stuff like that. That kind of thing. Okay, but what are you going to craft?
I'm probably going to craft some sort of decals for my bike. I would come up with a name of like the crew,
make a sticker for it and put it on all the stop signs and stuff.
Oh, don't advance. I don't care what are you going to do? You know what I mean?
I'm not from here. They don't. They call me the Irish Rover.
Why don't we get the build started then? So you're reusing your old GPU,
but basically everything else is new. So rise to 9,700X.
That aligns well with the goal of video editing. So we got eight cores, Zen 5 architecture.
You've got what I assume is going to be 32 gigs of RAM here.
Nailed it. Four terabyte SSD.
Who needs that kind of solid state storage? I actually don't think I asked for that.
It says in your parts that's two terabytes. So I don't know if you get to keep that.
It's in the pile. I'm keeping it. You know what I mean? I picked this when we did Emily's gaming van.
Oh yeah. I took a photo of the motherboard and I was like, that is going to be perfect.
And then big fat 850 watt power supply. I asked Adam about this.
Adam's here. That's the one, isn't it? Yes, that's the one.
Yeah, that's the one. So apparently this will fit. How about this?
Before we start the build, let's go take a look at some of the bike upgrades. For sure.
Wait, I missed the office theft that was right in front of me.
He's been wearing our cargo pants since long before they came out.
Oh yeah. And do you know what? These are my second pair. I offer it to test them
because we like to put batteries and all that crap in our pockets.
So yeah. Good pants though. Available now at lttstore.com. This is my bike.
You might recognize it. I do. It's an SV650S.
Yes. S stands for less comfortable than the regular one.
Yeah, pretty much does. But you look so much cooler.
It's a pretty cool bike. Yours I think is a 2003?
Yeah, 2003. This is a 2010. So this is a really late for this type.
I don't think they kept making the S after this year. This is a smart choice
because mine doesn't have ABS. Exactly. That was probably the biggest change
that they made from 2003 to now in terms of bike safety.
And this guy doesn't have it.
Oh, this is a brake fluid reservoir, right? There's always something covering it.
I have no idea why. I was driving down Highway 1
and someone recognized the LTT on it. No way.
All right, do me a favor, buddy. Go get a piece of wood.
Yeah, you bet. We've Canadianized him. He calls people bloody now.
Yeah, buddy. Hey, buddy. Oh, I went, come on.
The biggest piece you could find. Oh my God.
What are we changing then? Not much, actually. I've got a top box that I'll show you
that normally goes on the back here. We're gonna try and make it
so that we can have camera equipment with us on the tours.
But for the bike itself, we're gonna put decals on the wheels,
like rim tape and stuff like that. Cool, all right. I am not sure.
They sent over two. Well, you've got two wheels, don't you? Well, you see, I hope so,
because they're very different colors. What do you prefer?
This one's rubbish. Yeah, isn't it? I mean, and it's a far completely different Andrew.
Look. Who the fuck is Andrew George? Definitely not me.
That's a real British name. Really? Okay.
Do you think he's having a go at you? He might be having a go, yeah. Who's from Sweden though?
There's a lot of Swedish people in my life. I don't know how that happened, but...
It's not designed for hobbits, this one. All right, help me here.
Okay, here. Okay. Be absolutely fucking helpful, mate.
I'm allowed to give him shit about being short. Oh God.
Oh, wait. Did you want me to let go of the brake when we were doing that? I hope you're joking.
It'd be the first time someone's been fired on their rope grade shoot, you know what I mean?
Me? Oh no, it'll be me. I'm telling you.
LMG.GG slash Floatplane. Floatplane exclusive.
Linus, and you're trying to put the bike on the stand. Oh yeah, this is bullshit.
Yeah, a little bit. Oh yeah, yeah, keep it going.
No wonder so many people quit after we do these things. He told me that.
He didn't realize. Yeah, there's no way I'm gonna let that make the cut.
That's fair. Okay, yeah, fair enough. Can I help with anything? Like, wait, that was it.
You're just gonna give it a wipe down? That was the drawing. There's so much dust on it.
It's barely even cleaner than your computer. What do we think?
WD-40 probably? I mean, that'll clean it, but then how do we clean off the WD-40?
It's a bit of a pain in the arse. I lick it off. I love it.
Don't do that. I'll go get another cloth. Please, don't spray the brake with this.
Oh yeah, f**k. No, you don't. Don't spray a brake yet. You just have to f**k.
I'll just say it. Don't spray the brake with the WD-40. You know, it's probably gonna be fine too.
I'm not gonna help you with anything. Don't spray the f**king brake.
This is what it's meant to look like. Let's show you in a second. Whoa, that's cool.
I don't think we're getting that effect. Dude, these are giant f**king stickers.
Getting these perfectly aligned is gonna be a thing. Okay, well, one thing I got figured out already
is this goes here.
On the rim, yeah. So why don't we start with that? I'm probably gonna screw it up. You know what?
It already looks good. I mean, sure.
Maybe that's all we need. We are gonna have a conversation once you've done that first one though
about what it's gonna look like. Oh, conversation?
Yeah, you're in trouble. It's not bad. Yeah, that's pretty. That looks good.
Why don't we only do this, but we do all the wheels with this?
Oh, okay. Wait, no, now I'm super confused
because we totally have enough of these ones to do both wheels.
Yeah, yeah. This is enough. I hope it's enough. Okay, then we're good.
So somebody probably looked at that straight away and knew that we had enough. And now we look like tools.
Yeah. Do you want Reese to do the stickers? No.
Wow, rude. Okay, let's see what these guys are up to.
Hold on, we'll come back to the stickers. Wow, the mod mod ended up on my cover.
Yeah, because it's heat resistant. So if I turn the stove on, it should be totally fine.
Nope. The Ghost S1 is very small. Yeah.
Luckily, this is a custom made cooler from Noctua that's designed specifically for this case.
Really, they did that? Yep, they modified it. It's the Ghost S1 edition.
I will say, this is my first time really getting work done with the Precision Kit.
Uh-huh. The magnetic lid is so amazing.
That's the screws from the motherboard. That's the screws for the case. And they're in.
That cooler gonna handle the 9700X, okay? Yeah, it should, right?
Oh, nine five once. Right, it's friggin... That's why we went new.
You can decide which power profile you want to use.
The stock 65 watt profile or AMD now warranties
a 105 watt profile that increases performance
compared to our original review, but obviously it's going to run a little hotter.
All right, why don't we get back to sticker time? Sure, yeah. Adam seems to have this under control.
You're good. You're going to come off this. Adam, she's going. What am I doing?
Sure. You ready? Yeah. Here we go, first spin.
Ow, I can't spin it. It's hard. I mean, that looks all right, doesn't it? Right?
Yeah, it looks pretty cool. That was real skeptical about this one. I saw like... Yes, all right.
That's actually not bad. That looks good, yeah.
Shit, shit, shit. What? Your side is better than my side.
Yeah, but my side, I put the thing in the wrong spot.
There's plenty of time for mine to get worse. There's definitely a few more bubbles in it this time,
and I think that from six feet away, you know, next to you in traffic,
that's not going to be noticeable. You never know what these AMD upgrade videos
are going to devolve into. Fuck. This is like 20% actual tech hardware
and like 80% putting stickers on a motorcycle. I'm not going to lie.
I was a little bit worried because like I'm not like a techy, I don't know, mechanical stuff is more my interest.
You know what I mean? Well, that's the thing that I think a lot of our content
misses the point of sometimes, is that tech is a means to an end.
It's not just for the sake of tech. Like why are we doing this?
So that we can like vlog our touring
and like edit it together. And that's why we need a good computer,
not because we just like to look at the computer. What do you think?
It's not great because of the, there's a thing here.
Oh yeah. Wow. No, you actually fucked it. Now watch me do it even worse.
It's not a competition. I'll say who could do it worse, please.
Just always drive in the right lane. I will. Oh, she's perfect.
Why didn't I think of this? Why am I putting all this work in a painting? She's just tickers on it.
Fuck. I have little girls, so my experience putting stickers on things appears to be
pretty ace tier compared to the average dude. Compared to what?
To what? Compared to the average dude. I'm not average. This is coming together great.
Yeah, I get why Andy doesn't like working in it though.
It's very cramped. And you basically have one order
that you can do things in. So if you mess up one step, you're gonna find yourself pulling something,
like three or four things out just to fix it. It looks great though.
It looks really cool. Yeah, the cooling's even not gonna be that bad.
He's got the 92 mil on the CPU cooler over there, big 120 millimeter cooler on the power supply.
That's what I love about SFX-L. That was a Silverstone innovation.
Taking the SFX form factor, which is limited to a 92 millimeter fan
and just making it a little bit bigger. Allow them to squeeze those low profile
120 millimeter fans in there. Yeah, because this is a platinum efficiency power supply,
it's gonna be dead quiet. Sick. Wanna see a minor problem with this case?
Sure.
Okay, well no, no, it'll go, it'll go. Yeah, I just wanted, I need to get this stuff.
And also before I close anything up, we gotta do a boot just to make sure
that everything's still good. Wise.
Yeah, this is always the scariest part of doing a case ShortCircuit. Cause either you're done,
or it's gonna be like another hour. That's a good song.
You just did it without even telling the camera guy you're gonna turn the thing.
Geez. A moment of truth. Act like everything's going great. Hey, how's it going?
Great, certainly. Yeah. Well, the bike looks good.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so why don't you go look at it some more? Why don't you go show the people
your camera equipment you got and go take some pictures of your bike? Yeah, fully functioning.
I guess I'm on my own here. They're finished, both front and back.
I think they look good. It's a little. Oh, it's going great. It's a little bit.
The computer's going great. It's a little bit. That's not bad, it only wobbles a little.
Yeah, it's only a little. It's a lot less than my paint job did. Okay, I got this with the bike.
It doesn't look great, right? Like that. But, you know, it is for traveling and things.
Yeah. Let's show them how much storage this bike has on its own.
Look at my camera gear. And that's the included tool kit.
So like 48 liters goes on here. Yeah. This is a camera insert for a moment.
I got exactly, because we're going to Velcro it. So I'm going to get these power banks
so I can charge my stuff on the move. I got a Cardo. This is a Bluetooth speaker that goes in your helmet
and it's a communication device. And it means that on my way into work, for example,
I can listen to music. Do you want to describe what that camera is?
Nope. Okay. I don't know what it is. It's a DJI action four.
They brought out a five, but I was too late. But also I didn't really, I don't need the five.
I'm getting a ND filter so I can keep the shutter speed
the way I want to. Cinematic. And then I got this, a mic adapter.
And I'm going to run that into my helmet from here. Oh, okay.
So that means when I can go around, I'm like, oh, look at the view. People can hear.
Or people, I'm probably not going to share. I need that stuff. Really?
I don't know. There's a lot of noise out there. You know, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. If people want to see it, maybe, sure. Well, you know that now that you've said that,
the entire comment section should be upload it. Upload it.
Do it. Do it. And I got this one from chin mounts. It'll actually fit my specific model helmet.
Oh, cool. It'll go here. Oh yeah. Okay.
That's why they call them chin mounts. All right. Dude, you're going to be looking at your tank here
to about here. Oh, okay. So I could see like here.
What if we did hang it upside down? We could try that.
Oh yeah. Better, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. You can see the instrument cluster.
Cool. And you can also actually see anything like I can see
up to here. Oh, perfect. Yeah. Yeah, nice wide angle.
You can see any like leprechauns that are running by.
The chin walks. You can't get down from there.
So I'm safe. Ha ha ha ha.
You've got to figure out the audio setup though. Yeah, I know.
Absolutely. Since we're in here, do you want to talk about some of the upgrades that aren't for you?
Yes. Like this cricket. Oh my goodness. They've gotten really small.
Yes. I actually edited Yvonne's cricket ShortCircuit
that she did. Oh, really? And ever since then I was like, you should get one of these things to Emma, right?
But we worked out that the one that Yvonne had
or has still, it's just too big. So yeah, we got the joy extra or something like that.
It's called, I actually have no idea how these things work.
Well, you can put a cutting thing. You can put a pen thing.
You can put like, just like various ends on it. And basically just a CNC controlled head moves around.
But that's the point of the iPad. There we go. Yeah.
So we got an iPad. iPad Air. Yeah, and the pencil. Grab the pencil.
Pencil Pro. Yes. And then so we.
Draw. Pencil. And then print. Speaking of printing,
you decided to go back to what like the 90s and buy a printer.
Yes. This is another thing that is going to go on our craft.
The best thing about this was, I got multiple messages on teams when it came in.
And a lot of people were like, I can't believe you got a printer. Yeah.
Like I was in like, that was like, well done almost rock star move, you know?
You got one of the eco tank models from Epson. So you can actually print pretty copious amounts
of stuff with these. And it's pretty economical. The only drawback as we covered recently is that
if you don't print something for a while, it can get clogged like any inkjet would.
But if you guys are printing out stickers or printing out transfers or whatever else,
then it's pretty much the way to go. Yeah.
Did we figure out what was going on? Is it just that he was running an older platform
from some other maker? It just started working and I didn't question it.
Oh. I'll get started on putting this card on here.
I'm just a little confused by this because I got the male side of the Velcro here.
Okay, I got the soft side here. But there's already a thing.
Oh dude, is this going to be that easy?
Done. It just goes in there like that. That's too easy.
Oh yeah. We can use that to kind of stuff it in there.
And then we'll put this over top and that'll probably like kind of mash it in there.
There we go. All right. Yeah.
What do you think there? Yeah. Like just somewhere like not stupid looking.
Wait. No, don't. What if I was serious?
Then you would have just done it. Tell me right now if you don't want me to do it. No, it's good.
Tell me right now. Yeah, no, no, it's good. It's good. All right.
We're going to have to beep so much of this video because of this guy.
Get your fucking swearing under futile. Give me this fucking thing and we'll... I know, I really don't want to swear that much.
It's just you and Fiori. I don't know.
Yay, okay, there. All right. So it goes on there. Jay, this is not going to eat looking though, is it?
Beautiful. Can you show it to the camera? Show it to everybody, but poor Glen's like
trying to do a maneuver. Sorry, buddy. This looks like it's going well.
Oh yeah, that's great. Look at that. 72 degrees in fur mark on the GPU.
What's our CPU doing? 86. 86, I'll take it.
I'll core load. Turb going to 4.5.
He's running at full expo speeds. It's a pretty nice rig he got.
Oh, no, you didn't leave it in 65 watt mode. It's doing 88 watts.
Yeah, let it do PBO. Let's go.
Now I would never call you cool, but this may be the single coolest USB drive.
Hey, how much do you like this lamp being right here? Why do you need to move his lamp?
Yeah, I don't know. Because there's just not really a good spot to put his speakers, unless we put them on the side,
but I'm worried if we have enough room. They look good, don't they?
The speaker? Yeah.
How to tell a friend slash colleague you think they made a terrible decision
with only the tone of your voice. Look at him, and facial expression.
There are worse speakers out there. Worse looking speakers. But there are better ones.
Of course. That's a longer list. Do you remember where I'm from, Glenn?
I did, yeah. Somewhere miserable and rainy, so that narrows it down to somewhere on this island,
somewhere rural. It's not that rural. Which narrows it down to this island.
This island, somewhere. Kilmore. No, we're told, it's right there.
Okay, all right. I was close. Shout out, we're told. I was within what, like an hour?
Yeah, geoguessir, that'd be a pretty okay score. Yeah.
There it is. Perfect. Ah, not bad, right? It really is not bad.
Yeah. See if it goes on okay.
Sorry, am I a little up in your space here? It's okay, I got a helmet on.
I guess I'll just talk for a minute and then. Okay, and I'll blow air in.
Yeah. Like on that road. Well, I'm going really fast.
I'll be rain. Ew. Con con con con con con con con.
Okay, I'm well, I'm just so happy. I'm gonna get off the road. Yeah, you are, it's your bad.
Yeah. You cut me off, I cut your face.
I'm real happy I had this down. Yeah? I mean.
Well, we'll have to, you'll have to go out for a spin and we'll have to put that in here, obviously.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That actually seems like the mic that I'm using is too hot.
I might come back out tomorrow and shoot some more stuff tomorrow.
This is just Bluetooth. I think it maxes out like four people,
which is not bad, right? Yeah. And the range, but the range is still not.
Yeah. The higher end version of these has mesh technology.
So then like you could lead a group of like 15 people or something like that, you know,
and it has much better range. Okay, I got speakers on.
Yeah. No? Oh, is it working? Yeah.
Oh my God, it's, ooh. Okay, that's really loud. Oh wow, these are pretty good.
Okay.
That sounds very serviceable from the distance I'm at.
Why don't we talk about your lens? Yes, please. When you were here earlier,
you saw my camera equipment set up here.
Yeah, I picked up this lens and you said you got it for like $4 or something? Yeah, well, it was like 15 or something.
Most of my lenses, I use manual focus lenses.
My camera brand of choice, Panasonic Lumix,
isn't known for having the best auto focus. Sure. They're getting better,
but I've always wanted a 24 to 70. Last item for the non-gamer.
Well, I want to get into gaming. Okay. You know, this is like a terrible time
to buy a Nintendo Switch, right? I didn't buy it though. Thank you.
Very appreciative. Yeah, you managed to buy the one console that's not powered by AMD semi-customs looking,
but sure, yeah. They got a shout out. Look at the compacts.
We could only do that because they're a chip, no? No, that is actually true. Yeah, no, that's fine.
Yeah, really good power efficiency and all that. Yeah, okay, fine.
All right, let's get this switch set up. And let's see how bad of a gamer he is.
Oh my God. You'll have to 1v1 me Mario Kart. It comes with Mario Kart? Yeah.
All right, let's go. It didn't occur to you at any point to upgrade your TV as part of this, did it?
No. Do you know that you only have two HDMI inputs
and you're using both of them? Wait, wait, wait.
Is this running upstairs through the wall to your neighbor?
Yeah. That's for the cable box. Yeah, that's how I watch F1. Moment of truth for the Hecatease by Edifier.
What do you think? For their price? They make noise.
They're fine for most people. They're not gonna offend anybody. I'm most people.
Okay, here we go. Okay, I still, I've already, what?
So X is the goal. This is the last piece of the upgrade.
So you set an alarm, gradually turns on and it gives like a sound similar
to the sound machine I have over there. Cool, everything's touchable.
So if the lights are bothering you, you're just gonna like, eh, all right, I pissed it off.
Broke it already. I take a phone call and come back in.
Everybody's piled into the bedroom. What is going on here? I'm very charming.
Yeah, we thought you left. I'm very charming. Okay, get out, I have a good idea.
And after a long day of upgrading, you've deserved some rest.
Sweet dreams. You've worked really hard today.
Thanks for watching this AMD upgrade. If you enjoyed it, why not watch another?
Shh, he's sleeping. So cute.
