There we go, Carl desk PC 11 is 1-1, right?
Yep. Okay. So we're doing the intro then?
Intro will shoot when it's done.
Oh, this is just after the intro.
Okay. Just as many terabytes of RAM.
But the thing is that none of those things would make it any better for playing Minecraft.
In fact, it would probably be worse.
What if we could kill two birds with one stone by creating a desk that is both absurdly expensive
and also nearly impossible for FedEx to destroy?
Okay, it's worth noting. Don't touch, don't run into, don't f**k with, except for things that are executed.
And I got washers here, right on the bolt side?
Yeah, don't... Oh yeah, they're clean.
Just put all the bolts and two nuts on, we're gonna lock tight everything.
Put all the bolts and two nuts on. Can you hand me...
Okay, so I've got all the bolts and...
Hold on, it's a little tall.
I'm trying to put the two nuts on, it's not working.
Do you want to speedrun the desk or not?
He tried, he tried not to crack. I saw him try.
I'm not gonna let you not break today, Tim.
I will break you. I don't want this, I don't want this for any of us.
I can start next month. Yeah, we'll finish in 2026, maybe?
This? No, no, no. Finishing this the more?
No, no, the Mr. Beast million dollar one. Oh, I can do that next month. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Alex, if you want to take this, you're gonna use this to parallel against the top of the frame.
All right. Like this. Then Linus, if you'll come over on this side, we'll each do one wing or one plate at a time.
I'll get you to Loctite and then I will tight. Oh, okay, I thought you had...
So just apply Loctite just inside.
Oh yeah, this is red Loctite. I only use the blue one.
This is Loctite 293, 263.
What are we on, 263? Is that just the hardcore stuff?
Yeah, so Loctite isn't actually colors, even though it's colloquially referred to as that.
It's depending on how much heat you want to use to take the fastener off.
Is the actual spec of it.
And so we're using a one that's specifically designed for this application with the amount of torque we're putting into the bowl.
Do we have a torque rating for this bowl? We do, and I'm not gonna follow it because I...
Okay, so I can...
Hold on, I can press on this one. This one needs to come up a bit over here.
So again, this is not science. It just needs to be approximate.
Okay, well... Bit higher, bit higher, over here.
So Alex, can you lift that side for Tim?
Or actually, no, here, if you take this one that I'm holding, and then I'll take that one.
I'm gonna... I'm gonna try myself when I was commissioning the desk.
I don't know why three people makes it harder. Okay, it depends on which three people you have.
That's the key. Okay, and then...
Why is this...
Why is this so hard? Yeah, go for it. That seems adequate.
That's the one. Alex, this is a little low.
Yours isn't a little high? I mean, I didn't say that.
I like hot dogs. What, you hate cheeseburgers?
Oh, I put a lot on that one. More like, lot tight.
Say, I love this desk. I love this desk.
Where's mine?
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I want to pay a hundred grand for a computer.
Sulta Taycan, and you can get two and a half.
Okay, this guy's not gonna let this go.
You know, he proposed doing a video called... What was it?
Giving my boss buyer's remorse, and it is happening.
He's gonna basically look at all the cars that I could have bought for the price of one Taycan
and make me feel bad about it.
How many Honda Civics is it, to be honest?
How many Lamborghinis did you purchase? I think we should measure everything in Honda Civics.
Makes perfect sense to me. I already do that quite a bit.
It's a really good measure of torque.
Okay. Hey, watch this.
Hey, be nice. Be nice to it. Be nice to it.
It's not tight and yet. Don't take it out on the desk.
Take it out on Alex.
I'm just following instructions.
Tim's in charge. Uncomfortable question.
How much did we spend on aluminum?
I don't remember, but the people just got that answer in the A-roll that we shot months ago.
Okay. Was it over $10,000?
Yes. I think it was 17, if I'm correct.
Sorry.
Okay. This desk, then.
Materials alone? What? Cost as much as a basic car?
Cost more than my car.
Carl, you'd better beat mine craftily. Hard.
Like, there better be a secret Easter egg version of the end credits.
Not himself that'll show up and congratulate you.
Just use the wood, Alex.
The human hand can feel like two thou variants?
The human hand is mushy.
Yeah. All right. Tim, do you want to hit this up?
Here, just touch my wood here.
Where's the HR when you need them? Okay.
Okay, minus. Alex, that wasn't even me.
Who was the custodian of that piece of wood, Tim?
The last person who contacted it was you. This wood is probably a 16th of an inch, not straight.
But there was an implied transfer of custody when I left it there.
They're going to get it wrong. Fine.
I'll go do something else. I'll get these.
Yeah. Yeah, this goes on the thing.
Jesus Christ, that's backwards. Put it down. Backwards.
It's not backwards. It is backwards. What do you mean backwards?
There you go. Yeah, I know. I knew it.
I knew it. I was just looking for the key thing. There's a hole.
You need to put the key in the hole.
Just make sure you put in the whole key.
This is so off the rails already. We're on step one.
Don't drop it. It's backwards. See, I control two.
Don't drop it. Wait, it's not supported yet, Tim.
Engineers love it when you tell them about the thing they designed.
Oh, boss-splaining has got to be a thing.
Yeah, I was going to say sea-sweet-splaining.
Yeah, sea-sweet-splaining.
Oh, no. Hey, you took all my bolts.
Oh, no, I had the one bolt I need.
Oh, but you're going to need these.
Got them. These nuts. Thank you.
Those are actually yours. Carl has no idea at this point what he's getting.
He hasn't seen a spec sheet. He hasn't seen a picture.
Nothing. He just wrote a $100,000 check and was like,
See you later.
I don't know him very well, but that doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do.
This computer is going to weigh like 1,000 pounds. 350.
350 pounds. How the hell is anybody going to move it?
Love, work-lift, care, work-lift.
Does this qualify for like r slash malicious compliance?
Honestly. You're on the way. This is way too nice for that.
Malicious compliance would have been just like
casting a solid piece of gold. And then just putting it in a regular computer?
Yeah, yeah. Actually just the controller was like 75K.
That would have been like
100 grand. Oh my God. That would have been genius.
We just build them a cheap computer and then I sell them that damn controller
that I still can't get rid of. Does anyone want to buy the controller by the way?
Why didn't we think of that? Saudi Prince number one.
We're really good. We're really good. Why didn't we think of that?
Saudi Prince number one. And then he would have to play Minecraft with a controller
like a lab.
Kind of site, right? Yeah. And then Tim could have done other things.
He's relatively new here, you know? I've been here for six months.
Yeah, that's relatively new. So you look, Alex is cool as a cucumber.
He knows that while it may, yes, drop, there's just nothing he can do about it.
It's inevitable. So you might as well just not let your blood pressure
go through the roof. Yeah. By the end of today, Tim will have grown hair
and it will have turned gray.
I've been having nightmares about this day. I think they were founded.
I had a nightmare last night that we didn't start until 2 p.m.
and that was very fun.
Hey, we started at noon.
Well technically we started before noon. Yes.
Wait, what's welded? I thought we were using solid pieces of aluminum.
The steel legs. Oh, the steel legs are welded.
The brackets for the legs are welded because they're structural components
and I wanted to ensure that they were as strong as possible without falling over and hurting somebody.
Got it. And by somebody we mean Carl.
The last thing we want is a $100,000 computer that kills him.
That would be kind of funny. Yeah, I don't need that in the headlines, though. That would not be funny.
Dixerto.com. Tech YouTuber kills Minecraft YouTuber.
Settling once and for all the debate is tech superior to gaming.
Next time's out.
And Pierce... No, sorry, and Daniel Craig was there.
Why did I go Pierce Brosnan with that? Because of James Bond.
Well, yeah, I know they were both James Bond, but they looked nothing alike.
I'm more of a Pierce Brosnan Bond kind of guy anyway.
Oh, so you have no base? No, what? Come on!
Come on! Is that another day of favorite?
Uh-huh.
Look, I think that we can all agree that the best 007 game was from the Pierce Brosnan era.
Okay, it's objectively a bad game.
You saw the GoldenEye Releases remasters out, right? Yeah.
Did you see that the developer was saying that FPS dips are just to be true to the original?
Oh, my God. They didn't recompile it.
They didn't abort it. They just emulated it. Something like that, I think.
Final Fantasy IX underrated. Oh, it's so good.
I think it's how it's come up, though. I think it's appreciated now.
At the time, people were just like, it's not 7. Yeah.
Everything should be 7. Everything should be 7.
7 was never that good.
No, 7 was never that good. That's absolutely not true.
That's absolutely true. There's absolutely ground breaking that's not true.
Yeah, breaking ground is not impressive.
I feel like the pioneer. Look, look.
No, no, no, no, no. No, no, honestly. Look.
Ground. Look, broken.
Easy. Broken ground.
Pathetic. Again!
Wait, how much does it weigh on its own? Without even any of the hardware in it?
That's a good question. Math is hard. Okay.
Now, how much height does the tabletop add?
Okay. Yeah, so give me a good solid three inches here.
Need more inches. Story of my life.
Okay. Hey!
Not bad. Knee clearance is more than adequate.
I could come down a little lower, though. Carl's basically child-sized, so we need to account for that.
A little more. Give me a little more.
Uh-oh, is that all she's got?
I mean, this should be fine. I think it's bottomed out. But I think that's fine.
Yeah. Because he'll almost certainly be at a taller chair.
I mean, I use a big boy chair at home, too. We're supplying a taller chair.
Right. I'm Obi-Wan, did it?
The problem is this one's so large that you can only do a three-axis CNC,
which means you can't turn it and go through this.
I see. Yeah. So, drill.
Did he know we were going to do that? No. Oh, did you intentionally withhold that information?
Yeah.
Okay. Wait, but you're going to have me do it?
Yeah. Okay, sure. I mean, how do you know this is the right spot?
No, and that's not it.
It's a good thing I didn't start drilling. Okay.
So. It's beautiful.
He doubted the gold accents. He doubted them.
See, he's shaking his head because he knows he doubted them.
But.
Gaudi? No.
Where did they go? Classy.
Just because it's got your logo on it. You like it.
It looks cool. It's kind of cool.
It's cool. I love it.
Absolutely incredible. Okay.
Where are they supposed to be? I am screwing this in right now.
Well, good job. Thank you. Carry on.
Would you mind going to that box? Open on that table. Leadership.
Hey, David. Check out some of the other gold-accented stuff we've got.
Oh, yeah. Look at that. More pumps.
What's their total? Six pumps? Six.
Six pumps. Two for each loop.
Look at that. Oh, yeah.
Hey, Tim. Talk down to me more. Why don't you actually talk down to, you know, the entire working class of, you know,
North America some more? This is a drill. Every machinist knows that.
Can I have it back? What? I thought I need it.
No.
What do you call the machine that spins the drill?
The machine that spins the drill? Yeah, but that's the drill.
That is an electric drill. Oh, come on.
Because you can use an electric drill. You could use a lathe.
You could use a mill. You could use a, could use your teeth.
So what's a drill bit then? A drill bit is another name for a drill, which he's now finding out.
Drill bits are cutting tools used in a drill to remove material to create holes,
almost always a circular cross-section. Redirected from drill?
No, not even a little.
I feel like you're picking the fight with a machinist in the audience right now, not me.
For other uses, see drill bit disambiguation.
Drill bit well, drill bits used for oil wells.
I think it's called a drill bit. This is the drill.
Drills come in standardized drill bit sizes.
A comprehensive drill bit and tap.
I mean, Wikipedia is not the be-all and end-all, that's for sure.
Impact drivers versus drills. If Home Depot is your source of information, I don't know, man.
Specialty drill bits, driving bits, hammer drills and power drills.
What do you think this is called? Is this a drill or a drill bit?
I think this is called we're wasting time right now and you should just drill the holes.
Yeah. I can't find any reference to anybody calling that a drill.
Everyone calls it a drill bit. All the cool kids call it drills. How about that?
Drill versus drill bit.
Is it called a drill or a drill bit?
Do all drill bits fit? Okay, all right, okay, okay, okay, okay.
No, no, I'm with you. Please.
Is it called a drill? No, this is important.
Is it? Is it called a drill or a drill bit?
Drill bits are cutting tools used to create cylindrical holes.
Drill bits come in many sizes and have many uses.
Vikingdrill.com, I mean, they make drills!
Viking drill and tool, drill bits are bits are usually connected to a mechanism,
often simply referred to as a drill. Okay.
Technically correct, the very best kind.
I may not be technically correct, but I'm colloquially correct, which is worth something.
No, God, that's a lot.
Okay. Nailed it.
Punched it. Just kidding, we're going to drill it.
He beat me! He beat me to the punch.
But it doesn't cut. It's so slow.
Okay, bored.
Is it a drilling operation, not a boring operation?
Okay, that was pretty good. Yeah, if it was a boring operation, it would be an overpriced car in a tunnel in Las Vegas.
Is he still on this? Is he still on the drill nonsense?
Metric tap drill set. Yeah, but we put that label on there.
Why would Colin have labeled it that unless he knew that it was a tap drill?
A drill! A drill for the tap.
Not a drill bit, it's a drill.
Now, hold on, hold on. Where are our other drill bits?
Tap drill. Totally different company.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Here, I'm going to settle the debate.
No, we were already there. McMaster car.
Oh, McMaster car. It's both drill bits and drills.
Stop on it one more time. Alright, see you later. Drill bits and drills.
One is clearly better than the other.
Can I get a brush please? Or wait, I'm sorry, is this a bristle?
No, no, no, that's a brush. This isn't a bristle.
That's a brush. Okay, so the whole thing is still a brush even when it has a handle on it for use?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're sure? You should continue to grab that drill though.
You're sure? Because you need to be aboard. More than you are now.
See you later. Do you want a line of size brush? A line of size brush.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright, what are you supposed to be working on?
Are we loctating these, by the way? I mean, surely not a radiator screw.
I don't know. Yes, we are loctating.
Oh, that makes sense. It's going to sit on a truck. Yeah.
Vibration. That's a vibration. Half of his radiators would be just like falling over.
Okay, that makes sense. You'd be amazed what vibration computer thinks.
Okay, good. I ordered new ones for it.
Hey. Hi. What would you call your online store where you can buy any and all art supplies?
LTTstore.com. McMaster Emily Carr.
Oh my gosh. You mean the girl who drowned puppies?
What? What? Is that a thing?
Emily Carr drowned puppies. I mean, was it for art? The artist.
Oh. I mean, didn't everyone drown puppies back then?
It was a different time, Tim.
The kimchi's puppy can freeze literally thousands.
Really? No. What?
Oh. Did you make that up? Huh?
Are you sullying Emily Carr's good name? No, I'm pretty sure she actually did.
Okay, that's, I got to look that up. Yeah, please do. I can see why there's step-by-step instructions.
I start putting this radiator in. It's like, no, you need to put this in first because the clearances are so tight that
this won't go in once that's in place.
Fine. Carl Jacobs, you just watch out.
You're going to have the sickest Minecraft PC that ever minecrafted.
You know, they talked to me out of doing Trump Tower.
An all-golden white computer with ivory accents and then trying to deliver it to the then-President
Trump? Oh my gosh. I'm glad they talked to her about this.
I mean, it would have been content. Either we deliver it to him in his content or we get arrested by the Secret Service in
his content. Yeah. One of my kid's friends sitting in the back car, I'm driving them home.
They're like 10 to 11. And he makes this like remark to the other boys in the back.
He goes, well, you know, if there's a hole, there's a goal.
I'll explain it to you later. I'll explain it to you later.
Oh, I think I get it.
I'm sitting here going, my son, meanwhile, lip-zipped because he knows his dad's f**king
dank memer. And it's not going to be like ignorant dad, no idea what you're f**king talking about.
I'm sitting here going, when we get home, I'm like, son, so that.
You know, that's not cool, right?
Okay.
Kids today, man. I can't even.
We have another question, a dilemma of sorts.
Really, it's just a design decision.
EK has supplied us with a lot of stuff, including these phenomenal gold fittings.
But they also gave us some beauty rings of silver or nickel and black, which go in here.
We don't have to put them in, but we could. No, no, all gold. All gold?
Oh, yeah. All gold. Oh, yeah.
No beauty rings. All right. See you later, beauty rings.
Is that gorgeous or what?
We're doing any fancy coolants in this?
No.
Okay. We appear to be about to have another debate.
I was sent cryofuel.
So you're right, but also water.
It's one of those things where theoretically coolants are great and they have all these great properties and they do this and they do that.
But in practice, if you want a loop that is going to run trouble free for five years, you put water in it and a couple drops of iodine.
Okay. Okay. What are you guys, what are you doing?
Oh, no way. This one first. No way.
Tubes on the side. We slide it together. Then we install that.
No way. Very, very, very, very carefully. Okay.
Why don't we do this somewhere else? Nope. No, we're here.
Right here. It's a nice flat plane. I know this is a plane.
I see. Oh, wait. It goes all the way together?
All the way up, all the way together. Oh, okay. It's good touch.
Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah, you're going to have to push a little harder then.
Give her. Okay. Give her the beans.
Can we bring it this way first so we don't have to slide it as much?
Yep. Oh, yeah. Okay.
And then I'll take the middle and you'll take the other side.
This way? The backside. Just hold it to the left.
Hold it. Pull. Just pull.
Just pull. Up here? No.
We're going to lift it up at the bottom. Oh, yeah. She's heavy.
Yep. Now slide this. Okay.
Slide. Hold on. Slide the...
No. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. What do you want?
Okay. That way, yeah. Use your words, Timothy.
Sorry. Words are hard. Okay.
Here we go. So this whole... It has to go this way?
Into this... I see. Oh, whoa.
Okay. That's what we don't want to do. Okay.
Good. Geez. Okay.
Just a second. It's not quite... Now you're sliding it without lube.
What a discussion. Man. This just looks so good.
I'm having second thoughts, by the way, about coolant choice.
I know I said no cryo-fuel, but I'm sitting here going like, Alex, how could we not use
some kind of translucent coolant around the tubes, more pipes than tubes that look amazing?
Oh, because I guess what we also could do is have it be different colors on each side.
That would look pretty sick. You could do like red, blue, and purple.
We don't need this one.
That's why you had the next one. Yeah. Okay.
That one is... Oh, Alex tightened it already. That was because it wasn't part of the ATX standard, but it wasn't needed for the motherboard
that we have. That's funny. That's when you get an engineer to build a computer, and he's like, well, the ATX nobody
has put that hole on a motherboard in like 12 years. No, that's fair.
Yeah. I'm just teasing.
Intel motherboards notoriously would actually have that tent pole, and then what would happen
is anyone who had an Intel board before would upgrade their system, put a motherboard that
had nine holes like every other motherboard in, short it out, and then bring it back to
RMA at NCIX, and we'd say, no, we see what happened here.
You should really check and make sure your standoffs are all in the correct locations and only the correct locations, and not technically correct, like in the real world correct, which
is not that one. See you later, buddy. Hey, at least I stopped you before we put it down.
That's true because we could have killed the motherboard, and it would have been a super
fancy one. Is it tiny? Actually, we would not have killed the motherboard because the motherboard itself has a phenomenal
backplate. Do you want to unbox it? Let's do it.
All right. Is it motherboard time? We need to do the chimneys, the stuff.
Are we following your list? Yeah, we need to follow the list. Okay.
It doesn't need to go in. Let's put these in. I'll read the part where you see it, but not the explanation.
What color coding is green and brown, Alex?
Fourth criticism. Den laps. Okay.
In the background. Brown is always brown. No, it's not.
Don't lie to me. Okay. Open up your car.
See what color the stuff is. You know I'm not going to do that.
Okay. My car is just splayed everywhere right now.
Yeah, but that's because it's your car. So it could just as easily have a brown ground.
Do you want me to show you the brown grounds that came from factory right now? Because I can.
It's not necessary. While it's very unlikely that with these long cables we'll be able to get 10 gigabit
per second signaling, having at least some front freaking USB would be a big improvement
over my desk. I remember setting out as one of the primary main objectives that I wanted to have front
IO on my second generation desk PC. I got it, but it never actually ended up hooked up.
You know how in the final video I probably said something along the lines of, yeah,
these aren't hooked up, but we'll get the extensions in place later. Yeah, never happened.
So I don't have front IO. Carl will though.
You're welcome Carl. That's what $100,000 buys you.
Line strings up a good point. It does happen from time to time. It does happen.
I know I'm living proof of watching that right now.
Line strings up a good point that the cables are quite long and we won't be able to get
very good speeds at all. That's the reason we don't have USB-C.
I talked to Datapro and they were not able to make a cable that was that long from the
motherboard all the way to the front. So that's why we have USB-A.
Something's better than nothing.
You don't need USB-C to play Minecraft anyway though.
I mean, this is a single purpose machine, right?
Oh, look at this board.
It also has right angle power connectors, which is also convenient when you're trying
to build a low profile system. This guy gets it.
David asked me why it's better to have two RAM slots instead of four.
It's not, but specifically for overclocking, it means that the signal integrity can be
better. You can see that both of these slots, one for each channel, are extremely close to the
CPU socket. That means that the traces that run between the memory controller here and the dims here
are as short as possible, which means better signal integrity.
All right. This is looking...
Kingpin.
Vince Edition.
Sub-Vince.
I've met him. I wouldn't say I'm on a first name basis though.
Vince.
Did you just say if he breaks...
No, if he bumps into it, he doesn't break off the...
Are you serious? This is the power switch? Yes.
Remember, point is going into a TIE fighter's cockpit.
Right. Okay. Sure.
Pretty cool though. Yeah. I mean, it is cool.
That's all McMaster cars sold.
That's a McMaster car button. That's a McMaster car button.
A lot of this McMaster car. Thank you McMaster car. Notice me Senpai.
Yeah. Send me your catalog, please God.
Yeah. Sponsor's McMaster car. I don't give up on a sponsor.
I don't give up on a sponsor. I just want the catalog. Yeah.
Or just send us the catalog. We'll just play it. No, no, me.
Just send him the catalog. It means something.
What's the scalability? You get a catalog if you spent enough money in a given year,
that you've been deemed worthy.
It's a prestigious thing. To get a catalog from McMaster car is...
It's amazing. And I've never had it happen, but I really want it to.
Maybe this puts me over at the top for it. Maybe I'm worthy finally.
What we have to do, I pitched the all McMaster car water cooling bill.
I don't think it's going to happen, because it probably would just be too expensive.
Yeah. And perform like hot garbage.
My two supervisors have arrived. Thanks, James, Jake.
Now we're in union. Yeah. This is how you can tell we've achieved corporate bloat.
The question is, what do they want?
I didn't ask.
Is this his logo? Nope. That's EK's Quantum X logo.
His logo is on the front, on the left and the right. There's a quantum.
Is it? Is that something Sarah made? Oh, is it?
No, it's not actually his logo. That's something that Sarah drew up for us.
His logo is on the end plates,
which we probably shouldn't show off yet, but. Whoa.
Holy crap. That looks amazing.
Where does that go? Does that go on the sides?
Damn, brother. That little flour she did was so cool.
Oh, that looks amazing.
I had to pull the motherboard back up because apparently to install the cable tray,
that's going to go at the back,
I need to pull the motherboard off.
But that's okay. I can still move things forward. I'm going to go ahead and install the very fastest
gaming CPU on the planet, the 1300 KS from Intel.
Oh, there's actually two 980 pros in here. Sick.
Are we rating them?
Like RAID 0? Yeah.
I don't know. I kind of like it. I love RAID 0.
Risk it. I love the gold accents in here.
We can add more gold. We can add more gold? If you want.
You want to add more gold? Instead of having RGB, we could add the gold.
Oh, no, no. The one thing I would prioritize over gold is RGB.
Exactly. Yeah. No, you made the right call.
Yeah, that's fair. You know that you've got EK's logo sideways, right?
Sideways. Yeah, and I actually have these cable.
What are you talking about? This way. This way.
I need the holes this way. I've already capable, or pipe manage those.
Oh. You got to put EK's logo here.
Yeah, but that's not sideways though. It's aligned with all the other text on the board.
Yeah. Except this text there. Yeah, but I need for the cut.
Yeah, you're good, you're good, you're good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, you happy?
I am. Thank you. Okay.
Okay, so you know. Right?
Full sun. No, really, though. Sun and bright.
Okay, but you know one of the...
Okay. Did you account for it, Tim?
She goes. He did? Did you really not?
Did you not know that? No, it does matter.
Tim! Yeah? Did you know or did you not know?
Oh, no, no, no. No, no. She'll go.
He has a 50% chance of getting it right, so maybe it's fine. No, are you...
I can't... Are you... Guys, you can't do this to me right now.
Are you serious or not? Tim!
What's this bit? There is...
It's not a bit. Wait, are you... No, okay.
No, no, no. There's no bit.
Do you know it's directional or not? Do you know what that talks back on this screw from Yellow Tech?
I do not. Alex.
Yes. Did we account for it?
Yes. Are you sure?
I have absolutely no idea.
Tim! Yes, sir. Did we account for the directionality?
That's a good question. Can we just rotate it 100 degrees?
Wait, so you didn't know? No, actually, I had no idea.
Oh! Did you think I was teasing you? Yeah, for the longest time.
No, it's actually a thing. No, it matters. This is the inlet and this is the outlet.
Okay, let's trace. Okay. So this goes here and this goes to here.
So here's the thing. Tim's a really great engineer, but like, as far as I know, this is your first water-cooled
computer, right? No, that's not true. Oh, really?
Yeah. Is it the first one recently? Yeah, it was in like the last three, four years.
Oh. It's been a while. Okay, well, not all blocks are directional.
You helped with the MacBook. So here's the thing.
Tim, really great engineer and does a lot of really amazing stuff, but not super experienced
when it comes to water-cooling. Is that fair to say?
Recently, sure. Okay. So here's the thing.
Every block has an inlet or an outlet that is specific and matters, but some use what's
called impingement. So that is to say that they accelerate the water toward the cold plate, which means that
they have to go in where the impingement jets are played is.
This particular block, it actually does matter. So Tim is tracing the loop to find out if we're actually going to be going in the wrong
way. All right. So I believe that for this pump, this hole is the inlet, because then in is on the outside
and then it pressurized in the center, right? Yep.
And so this, it flows pressurized side this way.
Is that backwards? Yeah, it's backwards, but you know what, actually it looks symmetrical.
We can just turn it around. What about the GPU?
We'll find out.
Oh, I can tell you right now it's directional. I just mean, so this right here, this is what I'm talking about.
So this must come in here and go there and it comes out and around to here.
Okay. So outlet is your close side?
Yes. This is, hold on, let me check, let me check, let me check, let me check.
This is out. Okay. Okay.
Freaking out a little bit here. Okay. I think that's out because this traces here.
This goes to here.
Pressure in, pressure out, out, out, and that's backwards, that's backwards.
But that's the way that UK sent it to me. Like that's the only way that it can actually physically be installed.
Let's think. Let's think. Okay.
Thinking. Right. Like this is the way that they've sent their line diagram and that's how I got it installed
there. Can I have a look? Sure.
Go for it. You can trace it. Okay.
I might have traced it incorrectly. Yeah. Okay.
That's okay. I'm not freaking out, but it does look like you did not trace it incorrectly.
Okay. Yeah. Simba bounce.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
No, it's correct.
Yes. Okay. EK's got it right.
So this one goes here, which goes into these tubes, which comes out here, which takes me
in I believe to here.
Yeah. Okay. Yay.
Woo. So if this is the pressurized side,
then this is the pressurized side for this game. Let me trace it.
Cause they may not be identical because they're not. These are separate, so they are different.
Let me have a quick look. It was accidentally correct. But that's fine.
Which is almost technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. I think we can give EK probably some of the credit here.
And it would have been easy for one of their engineers too,
to just kind of go, oh, yeah, you know, the GPU's over here and like,
but they clearly checked which side was the pressurized side,
which side would be the inlet and optimized for the best possible performance for their blocks.
Which is what we want from $100,000 computer, right?
Minor details, gotta get them right. Of all of the parts of this desk that I'm really proud of
in terms of how the design came out, I am most proud of these cutouts, which is so small.
It means nothing. They could have been holes, they could have been nothing special.
Nobody's gonna see them. Carl certainly won't once it's installed,
but they are geometrically perfect. They are all the same radius.
And I spent too much time of my own time trying to get them right.
See, I thought you were talking about these holes, which I agree look amazing
and are going to help keep our power supplies brought to you by Seasonic,
nicely fed with cool air. But you actually meant these holes.
Yeah, of all the things.
Really, Tim? Yeah. Huh, okay.
It brings me joy. Good, good.
Now, see, you say that that's nothing, but come look. I didn't say it's nothing, I said good.
Come look at how those fit.
Good. Yeah, right? Good. Yeah, yeah, they fit.
They fit, I'm proud of them. They're good.
I kind of have to take this call.
Mine is speaking. He's on the bounce.
We're modifying the monitor memory because they don't fit in the holes of the monitor.
Hi, someone's using my microphone, one moment, please.
All right, have fun, Jake. It's a good thing we didn't install this because one of the pins of this 12 pin connector
slipped. So we're probably going to want to replace this bad boy
just to make sure that we don't melt the connector on our 4090.
Wouldn't that be a classic?
To be clear, this isn't Tim, this isn't your fault. This is just a thing that happens sometimes,
especially with these little, tiny, fragile pins.
You know what? It looks like it just wasn't put in all the way because the locks are in place.
We can replace the pin. We're not replacing the connector because that was a custom cable on media yesterday.
This is a custom cable. Yeah. The pin was in there, but there's no way it's...
We're just gonna... Let me get a close-up of it, just kind of hanging out the way it was.
And then I'll get a close-up of this, the pins.
This goes into this power supply here and is what is powering the GPU directly.
This is the power-on that also goes to the motherboard.
That this entire power setup is custom. So we're gonna have to replace the pin,
put it back into the same connector, and be very, very sure that it won't start a fire.
I mean, there's not really any tinder in here anyway.
So the fire would probably stay contained.
Yeah. Kind of a cool smoke effect.
Magic smoke, blue smoke.
I resolved it. It looks like this pin was put in upside down.
At some point, I don't know, it doesn't matter. It's not about finger-pointing.
It's about that now all these pins are securely in place.
I'm taking this and moving it around, and they're all staying exactly in position.
So I will install this and know with confidence
that it will not explode Carl's house.
What? I, what's wrong with this Linus?
Works great. Also, I don't know where a good heat shrink is, but it's fine.
Works so good.
See, it's actually terrible.
Could be easier. No, let me see.
It's that it's terrible.
That's bad heat shrink. Yeah, I was saying.
Right front. In light of our good heat shrink being gone,
I'm going to do this the professional automotive way with some nice loom tape.
It's the best stuff around. Why? It's the best stuff around.
It's the best stuff around. You're only doing this to bother me.
No, it is good stuff. You can have this stuff right here.
Are you putting so much on? Well, you know, it's nice and padded
so that when you have rattles and vibrations in your car,
it's nice and quiet. But this isn't a car. It's going to travel a long ways
and it'll be nice and quiet while it does. That looks like ass.
Well, I don't know. $100,000 ass. Woo!
This has got to be the most complicated base amount in existence.
These SimLab ones, I'm even missing some of the parts, are already super complicated, 30 parts probably.
And then you add on these extender rings. That's like another 20 parts.
And I had to drill them out.
It's going to be cool when it's mounted though, I guess.
Good job. Just a little, I'm a little sad about it.
That's all he wanted to hear. I want a good job, yeah. He just wanted to hear a good job.
My part matters. Did Carl get a better monitor than me?
I took the card. Yes.
What? I don't have the best monitor now? No, but I need your wallet.
Yeah. This is ridiculous.
So what? We stay late, they want pizza, they want me to pay for the pizza.
And me and I'm sitting here upset because Carl gets a better monitor and a better computer than me.
Go pay for the pizza, man. Some tech influencer I am.
We didn't cut any corners, what? Yeah, there's a difference between cutting corners
and just not cable managing something to the nth degree.
No one cares. We have a tray. Look at how beautiful this cable tray is.
You just shove it all in there. It's beautiful.
Don't need to do anything else.
You have to put the monitor on after the glass, right? Not necessarily.
Can the glass go? It only has cutouts.
Corners cut out, so it slides. Oh, I see, so we can put it down.
Yeah, and we cannot put the glass on until we put the neoprene on.
Great, okay, so. That's gonna take. Put this on now. You don't need it right now?
That's gonna take a while. The neoprene? Yeah. But that's the last thing that we have to do.
Got it. Oh, this is awesome. Oh, this is awesome.
Jake comes down before Alex. Oh, it's just because Alex is.
I wish it was gold-plated. Lift it up. We couldn't get it gold-plated.
But, structurally, this thing's gonna be fricking sick.
No idea. Center monitor here, side monitors here.
Okay, you got it? In my hand. Oh my God, that's not accurate, Jake.
You can't use a phone as a level. You know this is getting moved, right? You know, literally, automotive machine shops,
some of them use phones. Well, probably not good ones. Weight, height, tire, tone.
Weight, tire, tolerance is in this. Probably not good ones.
I mean, this says it's not level.
The phone says it's level. How not level is it, though?
0.5 degrees. 0.5 degrees. Okay, so it's like pretty level then.
Yeah, it's pretty level. The spec tolerance for an angle is not more than that.
It also does still say it's slightly off. Oh, it's going back.
We're close. Yeah. This is not their level.
There's level. Okay, it's level, according to this thing.
Which, I thought you said it's so accurate, Linus.
The thing should be pretty good. It's my ARM level.
Actually, yes, pretty level. My ARM is damn level.
I need to steal that level. What?
Just for an evening. My stove isn't level and it's annoying.
My stove isn't level. This is as far as I had CAD modeled
because who wants to make models of monitors? So we are going where no man has gone before.
Speaking of which, should we go get the glass? No.
No, we have to fill it. Oh, yeah.
Can I start putting water in it? I guess we should pressure test it.
You know what? Yeah, let's pressure do it. We'll pressure test it. We'll do it properly for a change.
What the hell? I missed. How goes? That seems to be going fine.
A lot of air to put in here. Yeah.
I guess do we fill this with distilled water? I guess we have to.
Once we fill this, is it never getting drained again?
I think we should send it filled. Yeah, I mean, if they're just going to drive it to them, then...
Yeah. Okay, I thought we did decide on the cryo.
We could just fill the water and then pull most of the water out afterwards.
Yeah, that's true. Right, like it's got drain ports at the very bottom of the loop.
Don't use that one. This is... A lot of craft fuel is cheap.
Don't give it way more than we need to. Well, you can use craft fuel if you want.
It's kind of shit-loaded. This is not going to take that much. Is it clear?
Yeah. There are some. It's pre-mixed, too.
There's sort of got to be like 10 miles in there.
I'll fill that one.
All right. I think clear, dude.
You think clear? Yeah. At least make that call later.
What about for this one? I think clear. You think clear?
Well, then are we just going to go clear across the board then? Yeah.
Especially if the other option's like cloudy white, like...
I could only see you doing this as clear and the rest of it white.
Why would you do white in there? How white is cloud white, though?
It probably just looks like it's a little bit of a sick loop.
Yeah. I don't want white.
Look, you guys are the ones who want to put craft fuel in it.
I was down to do distilled water. I want to do graphing.
That's all you get.
The other internal loop.
Are these the only... Yes. Ports.
There you are. I don't appreciate that, but no.
Oh, let's not fill that one. Oh, you're pressurizing. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Pumping that is going to get...
Ticey. What is that? I also just hate screwing things straight into acrylic like this.
Same. Doodie. It's good that you're testing it before we do the filling of it, though, because if
that leaks, then we have to take the whole thing apart to get to that block.
Oh, yeah. Or we just don't fill it. There's no way that that's going to leak, though.
I can't imagine that. EK would have tested that straight from the factory, and it's not connected to anything
else. They did. My question is just because they didn't send a tube of this size, did they test it connected?
So it would be one of our connections that we made today.
I bet it's fine. I bet it's fine as well.
Yeah, because our connections are not even too...
Oh, just these ones. Yeah, I see what you mean. No, because there's, for the look that he's pressurizing right now, it's the one that's
underneath. Got it. This connection here.
Right. Plus this cap. That's it.
Okay, so basically what you're saying is you don't want me to start pouring yet. No, please don't. Do we have a funnel?
There's a funnel in there. Oh, it's still attached to that PC. Oh, he's just going for it.
Of course. I told you. I dream about Linus pouring water for the...
I dream about Linus pouring water for the one time and right after I said, I'd like
to see you pour water for the one time.
I gotta know, where did you get the life experience of pouring like that?
Water-cooling. Yeah, because I didn't own a funnel until we started this company.
We trimmed the end of that. It's probably going there faster. It's a very small end.
That is a super small end. Let's trim the end of that. Got them.
Really? Why aren't you... Wait, there's another...
There's an insert in there. Should we go and get the funnel or should we just use that? Funnel?
What? No, this is fine. We just trimmed it.
It'll probably rip now. Is it ripping now? Oh, yeah.
Ripens are stronger. I think it's okay. This is actually palatable.
Why would anyone use these without cutting the end of it?
Just a... Are we more excited right now or anxious?
I am always a ball of anxiety. The drugs are cool.
Mm-hmm, impression bidding. Are we ready?
Are we going to press the button? Tim, you have to be the one.
There's a big moment.
Literal months of work. Is there like a custom cable?
Yeah, cable mod did up some custom could you agree. Okay.
Okay, hold on. Alex, are you standing by to top up?
Yeah. Yeah, so we're just doing like the double send. Oh, yeah.
You can already put more. One, two... Oh, wait, wait.
Nope. Need some more juice. Yeah.
No, no. I just need my juice collector at the very bottom of my thing. Yeah, I'm good.
Okay. One, two, three, go. Oh, she's beautiful.
She's beautiful. Alex, fast. Stopping.
Thank you. I was good. Yeah, we're good.
I was ready to go. Yeah, keep going. Go for it.
Yeah, keep on going. Yeah, yeah, we gotta do this thing. Okay, let's go.
Go in. Come on, come on, come on. There we go.
I'm gonna use this. I'm gonna use this. I'm gonna use this.
I'm gonna use this. Okay. One, two, three, go.
Come on, come on. She's beautiful. Alex, faster.
Stopping. Thank you.
I'm still going. Oh, we should attach a monitor to this.
I was still going. I mean, it needs for a juice. Yeah.
Let's say you do a juice. I've got the one, three series. Hit it, Tim.
In the snow. Hitting it. Oh, you just wanted to click your button.
Good button. Faster, Alex. Okay, I'm going faster.
Whoa, she's really going this time. No, no, no, no.
Yeah, I was good. I was good. Keep going, Tim.
Keep going, Tim. You must be new here. This is how we do.
The pump wasn't even like making the weird noise.
Yeah, we got this. Hit it. Hit it, Tim.
I accepted this because I was new and there was no other reason.
Let's go. We're trying to fill a loop here, boys.
Hey, we're starting to hit something.
David, do you want to get some close-up of bubbles moving in the tubes?
No, do not kill it. You're going to kill the pump.
They're fine. It's fine. You can't even hear them yet.
Yeah. They aren't screaming. Alex, you're stuck at squeezing.
Alex, I'm going to make it a drop in you. Thank you.
Squeeze harder, dammit. Dang it. How do you actually just stop?
I'm trying. How do you suck at this? I think mine's full.
Well, should we hook up a monitor?
Yeah. I'll get the best BIOS of this board onto my USB drive.
Yeah. Well, are we going to do glass first or monitor?
Let's do a monitor first. Yeah, monitor. It's bad GBs to close the panels.
Okay, testing done. That's a great question.
Let's plug in the test card. Let's just see if she shows anything.
I can guarantee you it doesn't. I'm not freaking out yet, guys.
I'm not freaking out yet. I'm not freaking out yet. I'm not putting any money on anything else.
But it's not posting. I'm not freaking out yet. That's all.
I'm definitely freaking out a little bit more ever since Tim said that Gary just did the
BIOS. No, it did boot afterwards. It was totally fine.
No, no, no. It's all good. Yeah, but it's not right now.
This is all good. Everything is fine.
Of all the problems that could have happened, this is low on my list.
Yes. See, Tim knows what's up.
Computers, we know. Water? Now he's a seasoned veteran all of a sudden.
It's good. Just one second. Just one second.
Where's the battery? Just one second. I don't know.
The button's right there and I really want to touch it. Don't touch it yet.
Why not? Don't just don't touch it. It's clearly unhappy.
Just don't touch it yet. We could just push the button.
Oh my God. Don't touch it. Not while it's on.
This thing has three BIOS chips. It's fine.
No, that's not the point. The point is that it's just not how to clear CMOS properly.
No wonder the buttons don't work for you. You power it off and you hold it.
Oh, I know. Well, that's not what you did.
I just wanted to push the button for fun.
The fact that it shut it off. Yeah, that's what they do.
Yeah, I'd hope it shuts it off.
Jeez. Kids today, man.
All right. Well, try again. It's going to work.
I can feel it.
Okay. I guess have we ever tested this CPU?
Nope. Because we took the one that was in this and put it in Spiff's computer because Spiff's
CPU is dead. What? So is this the dead CPU from the Swiss computer?
No. Then we RMA-ed it and got this CPU.
Oh, man. What are the other big dead? Yeah.
Is this more promising? Yeah, this looks a lot more like a normal postcode.
Here we go. Wait for it.
Wait for it. Yeah, that's good.
That's what we're training. Okay.
Cool. Told you guys. I feel good.
Yep. I didn't have any other plans of what to do after that.
No, we could have tried a different riser. Yeah, a different riser.
Ready for it. Yay! Whoo!
Two sticks. These are 32 gig sticks?
Yeah. I mean, I guess it is a $10,000 computer.
$10,000 computer with 64 gigs around.
That's kind of weak. Do you know how much gold is in this?
Okay. We could have made like three controllers.
That's not that much. It's all plated.
We may have celebrated a little early. So far what it looks like is only one of the memory slots is working, which means either
there's something wrong with this board or there's something wrong with the way the
board is inserted. That's terrible news because it means either it's going to be a ton of work to rip this
board out and replace it, or it means I made a mistake installing a CPU.
Neither of which is much fun for me. I don't think that was the issue.
I'm not high-fiving you for that. You can have a...
No, I was going for a trailer hitch.
Okay. Well, now it's just flaky.
I don't know, man.
Roblox is a stupider reason to have high-end computer.
Like Minecraft, at least you can turn it on like RTX.
Yeah.
I can use the SMD, whatever the fuck.
I just mean you can make Minecraft demanding.
Hey! Let's go!
Yay! We're going into setup.
Yes, I do. Okay. I would strongly suggest that we just downclock the RAM a little bit and it probably will
be happy. Advanced configuration. No, we're not downclocked the RAM.
Are you kidding me? We're overclocking the RAM. Where's my XMP settings?
Sorry, excuse me, what? How much does the glass cost?
It's custom-edged from Hotwell Works and Cut and very thick.
Oh, it's edged. Yes. How much did it cost?
Not quite 12. Around 8 grand.
Canadian. $8,000 glass?
Wait, have you seen the glass?
It is exceptional looking glass. Okay, I haven't seen it.
It better be the world's fanciest glass. Okay, do we want to go and get the glass?
I mean, we can go at least look at it. Why don't we go upstairs?
Oh, I loosened the block. That's part of the troubleshooting for the thing.
Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No need to be concerned. I only did lightly.
No, no, no worries. No worries.
No worries. It's not very happy. No worries.
Be happy. Okay. Hey, Tim.
Yes, sir. You know that compressed air, fiery gun thing that was upsetting to you earlier?
How about we point it at not a person? Yeah.
Thank you. Very good. That's lots.
Thank you. Okay. We don't need it.
You do not want to give this too much juice because you can actually like blow capacitors
off of these things. Well, there's no way.
I have seen it. You would have to like physically hit it.
No, no, I have seen it. How bad were the capacitors?
I have absolutely sent it at CPUs before.
No, I don't mean necessarily on a CPU. I mean in general.
Yeah. In general, I gave good advice and you are giving bad advice.
Is this a tech tip? Yes. The good news is that we resolved it.
Thank goodness. It was just a misseed of the CPU.
Yay. All right.
What's my name? And this is the first water cool PC.
Carl. I'm going to troll it. I'm trolling.
I'm trolling. I'm trolling. No, no, no.
I got this. I got this. Okay.
Lenny. I'm Lenny. Oh, it's really mint.
Hello? W? Oh, wow.
I mean this is with Prime95. This is Prime95 in the background. That's the problem here.
Okay. Man, this is really old Minecraft.
Yeah. It's created mode only. How do I even...
Clicking doesn't do any... E? Oh, hi.
Oh, how are you doing there, bud?
It's like...
I'm putting this in the water.
I'm making a bridge, Jake. God!
