1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,400 How do you upgrade a man who already has seven computers? 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:13,860 Well, we're going to have to figure it out because our very own king of Labs benchmarking 3 00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:19,180 Mr. Nick Harris just won an AMD ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade. 4 00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:23,680 Congratulations, Nick. Here's one stick of memory. 5 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,480 This is mine. I know I borrowed it for this bit. 6 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,240 We actually got a whole bunch of really cool stuff, including some pro networking gear, 7 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:39,680 a new test bench, some smart lighting, and he even had room in his budget for a friend. 8 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,920 Isn't that cute? Oh God, it's weird. 9 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,400 No need to hurt his feelings, my friend. He had so much fun with Riley, I'm going to have fun with him as well. 10 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,960 Wait, that phrasing is kind of bad on that. 11 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,160 And he's also got some sick new gaming gear from our sponsor AMD. 12 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,360 Let's see what someone who tests hardware for a living would buy for himself. 13 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:25,080 Hello, LTT viewers. I've been told that our recent giveaway segments have been too much fun. 14 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,760 It's gotta stop. And AMD representatives have requested that this giveaway contain no thrilling or comedic 15 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,880 aspects whatsoever and zero flights of fancy. 16 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,000 With that said then, it brings me no joy to tell you that AMD is giving away two amazing 17 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,120 gaming buttons containing AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D CPUs, basically the best CPU on the market, 18 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,960 and PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 gig graphics cards, basically the best 19 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,120 9070 16 gig as well. By entering using the link below, you too can have so much fun that you'll get a talking 20 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:09,560 to from somebody. Maybe your dad, but what your dad won't have is one of the best gaming combos on the market, 21 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,240 unless he also received one of the two giveaway bundles. 22 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,920 It can be yours by entering the giveaway using the link in the description. 23 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,520 Have fun gaming with your dad. Okay, back to the video. 24 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,680 How do I put this? 25 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,360 This is one of the most vanilla nerddom spaces that I've ever been in. 26 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:37,560 Sorry, I've never been called vanilla before. No, I mean, no matter what nerddom it is, it's represented here. 27 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,480 We've got Star Wars, we've got Lego, we've got Dungeons & Dragons, we've got computers, 28 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,400 we've got Star Trek, we've even got some of those vinyl things. 29 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:56,200 What co-pops? Everyone seems to have a niche that they're into, but somebody has to be a normal nerd. 30 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:03,880 There's a bunch of 1%ers, but who's part of the 90%? It's like that moment when you're in traffic and you realize, I am the traffic. 31 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,320 You're the type of guy who goes to Comic-Con. No fan expo. 32 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,800 Even worse. I like your lo-fi Lego Star Destroyer though. 33 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,960 It's a work in progress. Wait, is that how the Star Destroyer actually works? 34 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,640 It uses Technic for the inside? Not in the movies, no. 35 00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:23,160 Well, this seems controversial. 36 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600 I mean, I'd have ours if we had one. 37 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,680 Let's look at your upgrade, which I can barely even get to without tripping over a computer 38 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,960 or two. Well, that's why we're not building one today. We're upgrading all the infrastructure around the computers. 39 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,480 We're solving networking for me once and for all. 40 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:52,320 Al has had a 5 gigabit deal. Now most of my devices are only like 1 gig or 2.5. 41 00:03:52,320 --> 00:04:00,520 So with ubiquity, I'm like future-proofing. No matter if I move again or whatever, all my stuff is 5 gig with 10 gig SFP ports if 42 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,520 I choose to. Cool. Okay. 43 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,160 All right. Let's do some networking first then. I don't want to say you're in the way, but... 44 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,560 Fine. I'll tell you guys about the USW Pro Max switch over here then. 45 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,240 We've got a really nice mix of ports and functionality here. 46 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,800 We've got eight PoE plus ports that run at gigabit speed, eight PoE plus plus ports that 47 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,160 run at gigabit speed, and then eight PoE plus plus ports that run at 2.5 gigabit speed. 48 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,280 Then we've also got a couple of 10 gigabit SFP uplinks. 49 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:38,240 This allows him to run as much security camera or home automation crap as he could pretty 50 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,000 much want because it has a total of 400 watts of power that it can deliver over Ethernet. 51 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,520 And then of course, high speed networking. What are you working on? 52 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520 The disc. Wow. Yeah. 53 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,520 You know what? Good job. Thanks. 54 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,520 No, yeah. Just be natural. Just talk to us. 55 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,520 Be natural. Like vanilla natural? I'm sorry. 56 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520 I didn't mean for that to be like mean. I just... 57 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,240 No, no. Vanilla is not a bad thing to be. Not everyone has to be spicy all the time. 58 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,000 I just feel a little bit like your place is how the Big Bang Theory might have set up 59 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,360 like a nerd's apartment, you know? 60 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360 Dude, that's mean. Yeah. See, that's... 61 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Wow. That's really bad. Went from vanilla to like Big Bang Theory. 62 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,160 Say bazinga. Say bazinga right now. You're joking. 63 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,160 Bazinga. I don't really do networking and rack mount. 64 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,360 Yeah. No, I did pick up on that. So if you're not familiar with Nick, he's mostly on like the software side. 65 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:41,160 So developing benchmark tools, methodologies, and it's mostly on like consumer hardware. 66 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Because like the stuff is kind of a different beast. 67 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,160 Like I wasn't familiar with all the, you know, various standards for rack mounting crap 68 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:55,160 until I had to be because of work either. Basically, if it's physical, I don't do it and that's exercise and networking. 69 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,760 That's not even true. You've been coming to badminton night. 70 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,600 By the way, I don't think I have ever seen this before. 71 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,640 Where on earth did you get Robertson rack screws? 72 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,640 Whoa. I don't know. 73 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,880 I don't know him. Who's Robertson? 74 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,160 You know the square ones. Like the Canada only ones. 75 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,200 Adam, you appreciate this is super weird. Yeah. 76 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,200 That's crazy. I've never seen a Robertson rack screw. Oh, sorry. 77 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,680 Let me try again. Whoa. You know, Nick, I wouldn't have been as surprised. 78 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,520 You didn't know what a Robertson screw was. If I had seen the absolute hack job that you did on this show. 79 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,640 I didn't do that. It came like that. This is dangerous. 80 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,800 I should have warned you about that. You should have. 81 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,360 I forgot it was. This is a freaking weapon. Question for you, Mr. Harris. 82 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,600 Would you like your switch to go in from the front or do you prefer your switch inserted 83 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,520 from the rear? Normally, from the front. Like a normal person. 84 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,280 Thank you. Well, some normal people do like it from the back. 85 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,560 It's a lot of prep work. Would you like me to explain the pros and cons both ways? 86 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,800 No, no, that's fine. Just in the front is fine. 87 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,640 Yeah. Okay. With the main switch installed, let's have a look at some of the other networking gear 88 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,640 with us. Right. This is the Cloud Gateway Max. 89 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,720 I don't know. I wanted to give it a shot. I think it has like stuff. 90 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:32,440 The premise in software development, lifecycle, is get it working first and then iterate 91 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,640 and optimize after. So get it working and then condense. 92 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,560 This explains why Markbench has never done it. Wow. 93 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,400 Okay. You know what? If this is going to be my platform to defend lab's things, okay, what? 94 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Markbench is in Rustbench and it's actually all automated now and we have a queuing thing 95 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,320 that is... You don't care about that. No, I do actually. 96 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,880 Markbench is super cool. Like we did a ShortCircuit on a GPU recently and like the testing was really fast. 97 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,920 No, I'm trying to... Why did I buy this? 98 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,160 Presumably so that you could use a single keyboard and mouse for up to four computers. 99 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:16,240 I can read the box as well. Thank you. So I did another NAS as well though because I was going to do the 321 rule where I have 100 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,600 three drives in the one NAS, two drives in this one, and then one drive in the cloud. 101 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,760 That is really not... Oh, that was funny though. 102 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,760 One drive in the cloud? I like that. 103 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,360 Why don't you explain 321 to the fine folks? What is that? 104 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,800 I have a true NAS box that has three drives in it. 105 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,400 I have this UNAS box with two drives in it. Okay, that's not 321. 106 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,120 Three copies of your data in at least two different mediums, one of which is off-site. 107 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,480 For drives, we've gone with a couple of eight terabyte iron wolves. 108 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,960 We don't need the pros because it's just two drives in this box and we don't even need 109 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,240 a ton of capacity because Nick's not, you know, putting all of his seven movies on here. 110 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,080 It's just going to be presumably the bare essentials, you know, photos, documents, that 111 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,080 sort of thing, right? Yeah. 112 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Yeah. How did it take me this long to notice the chair that was on his kitchen island? 113 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,400 Did this just get put here? Okay, where do you want your NAS? 114 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:18,920 Oh, it's all going on top. What is the point of a rack? 115 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,920 Okay. Nope. Do what the client wants. 116 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:30,600 Govee gave us, like, a level or your size, but it looks like Yipekuri's got you. 117 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,600 What are you doing? Are you going to do that? Don't worry. 118 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,600 No, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to do that. Yeah, it was going to be hidden up there. 119 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,920 What if I... You don't need to access it. 120 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Until I... The whole point of the network access to... 121 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,320 I won't be able to read the little LED on the front. It's got a light. 122 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,520 Why would you need to do that? And yes, you will because there's slots, slats here. 123 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520 You know, I can re... You know what? I can rearrange it after... 124 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,520 You know what? What? No, no, no. 125 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Sorry, sorry, sorry. Let me go back. This is a brilliant... 126 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,520 I like this. Put it there. Okay. 127 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,560 This is what I was talking about. So we can have the gateway just hidden away up there, and we just have this one little 128 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:14,760 Ethernet cable and everything's clean. Everything clean, everything fine. 129 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,360 I'm using the Ubiquiti Wi-Fi man app to scan your apartment for where you have the weakest 130 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,640 signal. And finally, it's your bathroom, which means that's where we're putting the access point. 131 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,360 I mean, it's where I do my wordle every day. Exactly. 132 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,360 Did you see the Mandalorian theme of the washroom though? 133 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360 What? Okay, I want to see this. 134 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,360 What? What? What? 135 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,000 Wait, Adam, you haven't even seen the best part. 136 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,360 With the matching toilet cover. Yeah, you didn't see the floor mat? 137 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,560 Okay. Nick, I have the switch. I have the gateway. 138 00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:56,560 I have the NAS. What else am I putting in this rack? Please tell me it says many things as possible because that's the point of racks. 139 00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,560 Oh, that was me. This is going underneath. 140 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,560 Okay. And then I also need a UPS. 141 00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,640 Yeah, I guess the UPS can just go right back on the shelf. 142 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,840 What's this? That is a 2.5 gigabit network card. 143 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,840 Helpful. I knew that. What are you doing with it? 144 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,840 It's going in one of the seven computers. Because they all don't actually work. Because they all don't actually work. 145 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,840 You're getting even more helpful every time. Yeah. 146 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,920 So which one? I don't know yet. You know the PC that's in front of you or behind you, the Proxmox? 147 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:32,160 That one was supposed to go up here. But it's feet, even without its feet, it's like just too big. 148 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,680 So the idea was I was going to put it into the smaller fractal pink case. 149 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:39,520 Because that fits in with just a little bit of a... 150 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,400 So this is the true NAS box. I just put a new replacement drive. 151 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:51,720 So it should be good to go back in the rig. By the way, this is not the right size at all. 152 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:57,280 Earthquake stuff needs to move around a little bit. 153 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,280 We're going to have a lot of stuff left over from this one on the cutting room floor, LMG.gg 154 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360 slash Floatplane. We'll see you there. All right, check this out. 155 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:16,560 The reset switch is right here. Which means that if I tuck this thing in here under the shelf, there we go. 156 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,840 Oh, buddy, you can totally still reach it. 157 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,560 Right there. Boom. And the best part is now it's a structural NAS. 158 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:31,760 Look at that. Are hard drives okay being like that? 159 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,160 Yes. Yes, they are. Look how nice that is. 160 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,400 We have the UPS, we have the NAS, we have one system, dude. 161 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,520 And we've only taken up like half your rack now. Is there a reason you felt the need to put a gigabit StarTech network card in this system? 162 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:53,080 Yeah, well, one of these systems didn't, whether it's the Proxmox OS or TrueNAS, didn't like 163 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:59,200 the onboard motherboard. So I put this in here. 164 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,360 But I can't remember which. I'm going to assume this is the one that needs to be the add-in card because there would 165 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,040 be no other reason on this green earth to put this card in a system. 166 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040 Why? Because it's horrible. Look at it. 167 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,880 It's tiny. Yeah. Well, it's a micro network card. 168 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,360 By the way, what is up with this? The cable management of this system is actually really nice. 169 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:27,040 This is the one thing you cable manage? I cable manage the PC builds, but not the rest of the house because I did the small form 170 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,120 factor gaming rig and it's actually pretty great. Yeah, what's up with that? 171 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,080 This is the one part that people don't see. I know. 172 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,040 I don't understand why you don't understand. Big moment. 173 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,520 Mr. Harris, try your chair. 174 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,720 Yep, it's Mish. 175 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,920 What? See, this is the one thing I have no idea how it works are these sensors. 176 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,240 My understanding is that they're like battery, but I have a plug on this. 177 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,960 Wait, what are these? These are hygrometers? This is for in the washroom, one in here and one in there. 178 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,760 For what reason? Just to know the humidity? Yeah. 179 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,880 I literally was just looking for stuff to put on the wall that connects to home assistant. 180 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,960 You could have gotten motion detectors, you could have had your bathroom so that... I know what I'm moving. 181 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Lights turn on. Later. 182 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:27,400 No GPU in here, right? DC1? Well, no, but I don't remember if it had one before. 183 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:33,640 Wait, did I hear that correctly? Your Proxmox system has a 7950X, like a 16 core in it. 184 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,320 Yes. And then TrueNAS is a 5600G. 185 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,480 How many cores do you have in this domicile? 186 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,080 7950X, 5600G. That'll be a 5600XT. 187 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,760 That's a 12 something. Apple something. 188 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840 And then 7800X3D as the gaming rig. 189 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:01,600 Oh, actually the 12900K and the 23090s. 190 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:08,280 That is freaking ridiculous. I can't believe I'm building a system with a 7950X in it and it doesn't even have a GPU. 191 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,160 Are you going to do GPU pass-through in the future? Yes, yes I will. 192 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,400 GPU pass-through for Plex. 193 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,600 Okay. Hey, but look at this. 194 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,080 So tidy, right? It's great. 195 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,680 Yeah. Was this mounted here before? No, I just kind of hang it once in a while. 196 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,080 No, I didn't have the hardware at the time. Oh, okay. 197 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,840 Do you know? Nope. Why are we even here? 198 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,840 Are you sure? You have that whole thing of screws. Can I just check and see if there's a screw that happens? 199 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,200 Sure. But this wasn't the monitor. The screws are right here. 200 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,120 The very first ones I picked up. He has four of them. He 100% has them. 201 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,360 Noice! 202 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,120 Nick just informed us that his bedroom is more humid than the rest of the apartment. 203 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,000 I just want to know what is actionable about that? I can open a window. 204 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 What is this thing? It's pixel light. Pixel light? 205 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,160 I'm going to have put the weather on it. 206 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,120 The only reason Google still lives is until the reach of many is who I talk to to turn 207 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,720 my lights on and off. So it'll be that for display, weather, time, alerts, whatever, and then the reach of many 208 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,160 is my voice. There we go. 209 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,160 Hear me out. What if we put this in here instead? 210 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,920 No, that's going in there. 211 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:40,760 So we're going to have a mouse and keyboard that are going to be right here in the event that they are needed because, I don't know, we didn't remote into these systems for some 212 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,040 reason. Whenever I need to remote in, it's usually because the network is down, and to fix it 213 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,360 I just need to plug in a keyboard anyways. 214 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,360 I'm with you. That looks so much better than it was when we got here. 215 00:16:53,360 --> 00:17:02,000 Right? Yeah. We can put the desk there now because I'm actually done with the rack. 216 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,960 I didn't realize how small this desk was. 217 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:13,080 Micro desk. Do you have a power bar back here? Oh, he has a power bar at him. 218 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,120 I just unplugged the light and the speaker. Wait, what? Don't you want your light and speakers plugged in for when you would live here? 219 00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:22,560 Nope. I'll use the longer one. That only has two because I only need to plug in two things. 220 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:28,080 But about the test bench, I'll take the power bar from my gaming rig. 221 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:37,960 Actually now's a great time to talk about what you're doing with that test bench. So you picked up a Ryzen 7 5800 XT as well as an RX 9060 XT and my understanding is this 222 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,920 is something to do with Linux testing. I had an extra motherboard and RAM. 223 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,240 Yeah. I put it together because I don't know, Bazite and Catchy are catching on. 224 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,760 So we did some, let's see, Catchy catching on, get it? 225 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,440 At the last we did some testing and it was super easy. 226 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,280 So I went and found on Marketplace a 3600 to put in the AM4. 227 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:06,880 So we're doing this today. So I picked up Long Live AM4 socket, like the fact that I can find a 3600 from how many 228 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,600 years ago and then find a processor, not even a year old. 229 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:18,240 And then what's the plan to do with that? Would it move to like a dedicated PC for the TV possibly or like? 230 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:24,160 Nope. This desk is going in the corner and it's just tri- 231 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Alright, let's build it up. 232 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,560 To get all the networking set up, we're going to have to get this test bench configured. 233 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,320 Off comes the 3600. 234 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,560 And on goes the 5700 XT. Sorry, you're changing the cooler out? 235 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,360 It came with a better cooler. It even has RGB. 236 00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,560 For someone who doesn't like RGB, you sure put a lot of it in here. 237 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,720 It's to play with home automation. I don't know, I got sensors now. 238 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,720 Yeah, for high-grammation. 239 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,960 The lights can show, the lights can be the same color as the temperature so I can be 240 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,000 like, ooh, it's getting hot in here. Really? 241 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,680 No, no one, take off all your, whatever. 242 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,200 I do think their stock coolers are an under-appreciated thing about AMD. 243 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,920 They really set themselves apart from the competition as part of the kind of the rise 244 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:20,640 in comeback and then that's something that they've just stuck with ever since then. 245 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:27,360 Just having dramatically superior stock coolers wherever they do include them. 246 00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:35,480 That's that. I guess I haven't talked about it at all. We've got a Challenger 9060XT 16 gig from Asrock which is not the most powerful card 247 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,520 in the world but for something that just needs to be able to handle basic game testing, 248 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,720 it is more than enough. Hey Nick, what's this SSD for? 249 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,120 More games. On where? The test bench. 250 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:54,640 Oh, okay. So we've just got a PCIe Gen 5 drive for games on a test bench. 251 00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:00,920 You are a confusing man. We have a couple of things here that are going on your desk and your bedroom. 252 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,040 So what are you, what's the point of adding these two things to your jerk station? 253 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,640 Come on, you can't call it that. It's in his bedroom, that's what it is. 254 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:18,400 This is replacing my G502. This is an audio interface from Mo2 who I've never heard of. 255 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,320 How did you find out about Mo2? Oh, Mo2's been around for a while, like Ederol and Roland and stuff like that. 256 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,240 Okay, so they're like an established audio brand. They're well known. This is basically like a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. 257 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,800 You have two inputs on the front that can either do quarter inch or XLR. 258 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,240 And on the back, you have a midi in and a midi out as well as a couple of other outs for 259 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,800 monitors. This is pretty slick. And I see that you have a bass guitar and a pedal. 260 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,640 Are you going to play for us? You kind of have to. Why not? 261 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,680 Sorry? Well, you can't get an upgrade for your instrument and not play it for it. 262 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,680 Yeah, I can. I just watched Sven not do it. That's because Sven doesn't know how to play. 263 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,040 I don't either. Do we have a keyboard and, oh, this is for the test bench? 264 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,040 Yeah, it's a Gravastar Mercury. Oh, that's pretty funky. 265 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,040 That's cool. Dude, look at this corner. 266 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,040 This is like Command Station corner. I freaking love it. 267 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,040 Whoa. 268 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040 Tuned in and ready to help, like a pocket sized assistant without the pockets. 269 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,040 So this is just tuned in to open AI or is it running a local? 270 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:22,040 No, it's open AI right now. Would the goal in the longer term be to run a local LLM for it to do all your home automation 271 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,040 stuff because I can't imagine you'd want to burn open AI tokens to turn your lights on 272 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,040 and off? No. The idea is to be local, yes. 273 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:36,040 So the idea is that he will sit beside the pixel display and the Google Nest goes away 274 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,040 and then I can just talk to him. 275 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,040 Do these do anything or are these just for show? They're just for show and emoting. 276 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:48,040 It's got a plethora of emotions so you can ask it to look something in old. 277 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,040 Okay. Scared, surprised. Do your best impression of an angry horse. 278 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,040 Can't do animal impressions but I can show a frustrated emotion if you'd like a humanish 279 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,040 footprint. Sure. Do your best. 280 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,040 Best take on frustration, no horse sound that hopefully gives you the idea. 281 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,040 You know what? Good job. What is going on here? 282 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:12,040 I was trying to... We're getting things kind of cleaned up for the, you know, the after pictures and stuff. 283 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,040 You know this is not where art goes, right sir? 284 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,040 Yeah, that needs to go on the wall still. 285 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,040 Yeah, we should have put this up today. That's so cool. 286 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,040 I think Adam even has exactly the place for it. 287 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:31,040 Oh shit. Right? That actually works really well. 288 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Boom. If you told me that Spider-Man can't flew in it's zocked me. 289 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,040 What do you think? I don't know. It was underneath the TV. 290 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,040 It was doing just fine there but now it's up so it's good. 291 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:49,040 I think this is about to boot. Yep, memory training just finished and it's rebooting. 292 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,040 She's up and running. Think we're done. 293 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,040 We got your rack completely sorted out. 294 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,040 You've got way more hardware in it than you did before. 295 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:04,040 There's no computers to trip over in the entire dining room, living room area. 296 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,040 Did you guys even change anything over here? 297 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,040 Why does it feel so much nicer? 298 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:15,040 Honestly, I think we just cleaned up. Hey, the RGB, the RGB lighting doesn't hurt. 299 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,040 It hurts me. It hurts me. What else did we even do? 300 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,040 We added his new mouse and his audio interface to his computer. 301 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,040 We upgraded your Wi-Fi with your new Ubiquiti access point. 302 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,040 That's in the back. I put up little sensors everywhere. 303 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:37,040 You got your hygrometers. His backups are now officially 321 and of course the centerpiece of the entire setup, 304 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,040 the Ritchie Mini, that for now is kind of expensive to run but in the long term is going to be 305 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:48,040 a fun project to get a locally run AI assistant to help, I don't know, do something when your 306 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,040 humidity changes? Turn the lights red. 307 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:58,040 Sure. Thanks AMD. This has been another fantastic AMD Ultimate $5,000 tech upgrade. 308 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,040 If you guys are looking for another one to watch, hey, why not check out one of the other 309 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,040 members of the Labs team, Lucas.
