Yeah, I thought you'd say that. This sticker is covering his side panel window. And when we saw that in his submission for ROG Rig Reboot, we knew that he was in need of a new system. I'm happy to be here. Thankfully, our sponsor ASUS ROG sent over all these new parts so you could swap them into your old system and still have that problem with the case. You did bring your old case for us to build in, right? No. It's okay. They also sent a case along with the fastest gaming CPU on the market. You see how fast it is? So fast. This is gonna be fun. Is he the one that has shortlisted twice before? Yes, and he actually mentions it in this video. Wanna see something cool? Is he pointing a gun at me? No, it's a screwdriver. From Tony's application video, there's definitely a few things that we've learned about him. One is that he is absolutely an enthusiast. So this may be one of the least guided ROG Rig Reboots ever. Another is that he absolutely likes a deal, which means he probably can't afford this screwdriver. The last thing we learned about him is that his computer is 13 years old, meaning that he needs this upgrade as badly as just about anyone that we've ever seen. Like, have you ever even installed a modern processor? The last processor I installed was the one from that computer, four by four from AMD. You're gonna have to give shorter answers, or this is gonna be a very long video. What he meant to say was, no. Meet the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Don't worry, it's really well packaged. Yeah, okay. And I didn't actually throw it at anything hard. The breaking glass was just sound effects. But you obviously work on servers that you buy on Facebook, Marketplace, or whatever, so I feel like I don't really have to tell you that much. What do you do next? Well, you download my RAM. Oh, it's gonna be this kind of video. Woo, got him. All right, no, motherboard. Head connects to the motherboard. Now you're doing it. Okay, a flopped over piece of toast like that is completely different. Yeah, except I'm hitting it where the packing material is. You're striking it right on the chip. Tomatoes, tomatoes. But hey, top performance doesn't come cheap. What are you gonna put it in? I'm gonna put it in the Crosshair X870E Extreme, which is great because my motherboard is a Crosshair three or four, one of the two. Oh, yikes, not only is your computer old, it's AMD, which nowadays is a good thing. Do you build computers for other people? No, although people have pointed out it would be a good thing that I probably should do. Yeah, do you build computers on camera? Never. I'm gonna show you how to do it. So, there you go. No, you gotta present. Oh, it's got a dim dot two slot. There's a lot more going on on this one. Why do I get a bottle opener? That's sick. That's a question for our sponsor, ASUS ROG. Not one that I can answer. No CD. No, I know, I know. We haven't done CDs in a long, long time. Like CDs nuts. Wow. She's chonk. Definitely has some chonk. Single screwdriver with just one bit. This is what I hate about our sponsors competing with us. Get this out of here. I figured out what the theme of this build is gonna be. Throwing junk? Throwing quality merchandise. Way to go, ASUS and AMD. Great products. I think this is meant to be like a card you carry to just show that you're a gamer. That I'm a baller gamer. Okay, cool. And then a USB for something. ROG fan kit. Oh, what it probably does is it adds a chipset fan. But realistically, this is one of those boards that just has all the latest bells and whistles. I believe it's Wi-Fi 7 even. Next step being, put the processor into the motherboard. What are you doing right now? I love your innovative way of thinking. What makes it more of a gaming card than using it to open the box of your CPU? It was either gonna be that or the bottle opener. Dude, what kind of games do you play on that 13 year old machine? I've been hardcore getting into like more indie titles. Well, yeah, it's a 13 year old computer. Yeah. So tell me though, is there a modern AA or AAA game that you can't run on your current machine that you're really looking forward to on this? I love Just Cause 2. I never got to play Just Cause 3 because it is a slideshow of a game. Eventually also play the first modern Doom, maybe even Doom Dark Ages. I think it'll run Doom Dark Ages. Having fun yet? Oh, this is a blast. You leave the little thing on. Put the retention bracket down and Bob's your uncle. Was a flawless CPU installation, but you did get one thing wrong. What did I do Linus? I do not have an uncle named Bob. And don't call me Shirley. Can I call you late for dinner? What would you like to install next? Next, I typically go for the CPU cooler, but since I noticed we have an all in one, I think we should hold off on fiddling with this until we get the motherboard in the case. Oh, you want to put the motherboard in the case now? Why wouldn't I? Sure, this is not the way that I would do it. How would you rate this foam? Good sir. Okay, this side, dang. This side, okay. Yeah, it's all right. Okay, cool. Cause you know, I have to like double check with everybody else be like, okay, is the foam cool with Linus? Is the monitor going to be cool with Ploof? You do watch a lot of LTT. Yes. It's a funny thing. I see the numbers, but I... You see the comments. Well, I see those too. You gotta finish unpacking the case. Don't get distracted with shiny things. Yeah, don't tell him how to do his job, Elijah. Does he tell you how to do your job? No, didn't think so. Well, he's a commenter. He does tell me how to do my job. No, we've had first included screwdriver, but what about second included screwdriver? Oh, cool. It comes with a couple of what appear to be CPU power connector extensions. It's the case that big. They just assume you're going to need these? You routed your houses, cooling for your computers through your pool. The people who watch the show too much know so much about my life. And then you hired one. If you don't mind, could you please remove the box as I lift it? Go for it. All right, three, two, one. Linus, cooking show. And it's just like, it's just like that. Wow, that is very gamer. I have come to your planet to destroy you. Looks good. I like it. Tempered glass. I mean, your old system has a very gamer vibe. That you said was the worst case of its time. You have the DF-85? I have the DF-85, which you as quoted is probably the worst case of its time. The DF-85 was probably the worst designed case of its time. You know what's crazy? This case definitely costs more than your old computer. Can I ask? 540 USD. We've got what appears to be some kind of backlit ROG logo thing. Four included fans. Giant support for all the radiators you could desire. Window through to the power supply. This is to cover any cables that you have to run up the back so that they don't look as unpretty. Is this entire front X bracket thing like solid flip and aluminum? Oh. Wait. Why? To store your screwdriver, you might wanna take off the peel at the back. It's a little harder to get off after. No. Okay, he's taking it off. Yeah, all right, don't worry. I was gonna say, you should have been runner up again. You're gonna behave like that. You got a parts tray or something? Now available at LTTstore.com, our precision screwdriver set complete with magnetic parts tray. Nice. This is the tightest motherboard fit that I think I have ever seen. Yo, dog, it's so tight. You guys are either gonna love him or find him insufferable. I'm finding myself insufferable. I think the Elijah can is gonna have to be a thing for these. We should just have him in the bottom corner the whole time. Ooh, like a Japanese TV show. Sugoi. Linus, could you like not make it so magnetized? You got a reputation for dropping things. You don't want that to continue. When you've got your one screw, you don't want it to come up. You guys just gotta get the motherboard installed. I trust that between the two of you, that should be fine. I'm the responsible one now. Come on. What if I had something to cool my computer that was radical? You're doing good. Thank you. That's all the progress you guys made. Hey, any progress is better than no progress. You put in like two screws. Four? Maybe it would have gone faster if you had built your own custom LTT screwdriver already. I propose a short break. Here it is. Why do you have so many stairs? You can have any color of handle, accent ring, selector ring, and end cap that you wish, out of the ones we have in stock still. I've brought something special that I assume you are probably going to choose. Oh. There is no guarantee that this will ever make it to production. Do not hold your breath for it, but it's good enough for you. Oh, that's one of two. Like, it's more than limited. Or the mass public. Yeah, that was just samples anyway. Potentially more than just purple? Well, okay, I wasn't even gonna, nothing's a promise. The clear one took three years, so. You opened the door. A one of one. I made even Gellian. Singy, get in the screwdriver. Dude, normally we do like the first four components, like boom, quick styles, fast, man. We got nothing going on here. Let's put in the M.2. So you got support for five M.2 drives on this board. Two on the dim.2, and then three built in down here. So we're gonna do one of these now, because down the road, when you go to upgrade your storage, because you're totally gonna upgrade your storage, maybe 13 years from now, that'll be easier to get at than the ones under the shield. One of the things I have replaced on my current system in those 13 years was like two hard drives. And I really should have replaced a lot of fans. Yeah, does it overheat with none of the fans working? No, you just take the side panel off. That's actually a really nice little mechanism. Oh, wait, that's not down at all. Yeah, it's in there now. Same, same, what wrong? It wasn't clicked enough. Yeah, it just didn't click. Just like me with college. Me neither. We get the job done. Dewey though? It's been 84 years. What would you like to do next? Having never worked with an AIO cooler before, I think it would be better to put cooler in now, and then the memory afterwards. How do you feel about that? I feel that this is your party. And I can cry if I want to? You can, you might. Let's go! Everybody, everybody, everybody, don't let us forget to take the thing off. Now be careful. When I built mine 13 years ago, guess what I did? Remembered to take it off. I did not remember to take it off. So you're saying I'm as competent as you? 13 years ago. I really liked the fact that this is one of those cool cordless ones. Yeah, the fans just pogo-pinned together. Super nice for installation. Jeez, it's one on the other side. Oh God, there's another one. And one of the fins is bent anyway. To be clear, it doesn't matter at all. And it's actually pretty normal to have a slightly misaligned fin or two in a radiator. I just am appreciating the irony of putting all this in front of it. I dented another one of your radiator fins. Come to Canada, they said. Are you happy? I'll be happier when it gets to my house. It seemed like it's gonna screw in. I see all the mounting holes through the rail. So yes. Then I think we're golden. Let's put it in that way. Modern cases, this one's got all the features. It's got a cut out at the back. You're good to go. But ASUS has done something a little different. They've created this adapter that you screw into the back plate and then has these posts that you use to mount the cooler itself. There we go. Okay, awesome, look at that. Progress, all I had to do was do it myself. I would love to follow up with the RAM. Okay, you're right. It's just so convenient to put the RAM in now that there's tubing across it. The RAM also has a special surprise for you. What? There's special surprise RAM? I'm legitimately excited about this. Oh, it's V-Color. They've done some cool mantel modules for us before. I want to see it. Ooh. Okay, that's pretty cool. And that's the wrong memory. We have some 6000 CL30, but it'll look the same. So you can just install this and we'll swap it out. Do you know Sherrod's law of memory? I know he was a big man and he did a lot of big numbers. Sherrod? Yeah, the big dude. No, that's Splay. Splay. Sherrod works on our business team. Sherrod's law of memory is that the aesthetic side goes out. I remember that upgrade. The guy with the grill. I saw him in the minute I saw him, I'm like, my man, it's in. Nice. I would like to move on to, let's go power supply. Sure. Let's go power supply. Come on. Go T power supply. Yes. Come on, power supply. Let's go power it. You got it, man. The end result of building in this case, absolutely sick. The process, can't say it's my favorite. How often do you need to replace your power supply though? I mean, with a quality unit like this ROG Strix, 1200 watt platinum gaming power supply unit, not often. But when you do it, boy, are you going to hate it? Is that Strix? Yeah, that's good. Do you mind? Do you want me to close? I know that we have to get close because of the video, but I'm happy. This is a video, right Elijah? It could be several if you want to do Floatplane. Do I get Floatplane exclusives? There's probably going to be extras. Sign up for Floatplane to see more of the silly weird stuff that we got up to. Do you know the vanity URL? Floatplane.lucascool. LMG.gg slash Floatplane. You can also, and you will never have to worry about that. Oh boy. Now your computer's going to be fine. The fact that it's like, I got here and I'm looking for my house hippo. The house hippo is so niche. Our Canadians are going to love this. Hey Elijah, show feet. That's crazy. That's the same fucking sentence. We also have an hour 20, so. You have an hour 20. You're fucking me then. You are loved. Reddit is correct. This is the worst place to work, you know what I'm saying? How is it that every time I put in three screws and you put in one? Because you do this for a living. Like every time, is yours even in all the way? No. You know what? You are doing great. See, when you rush people, they make mistakes. I only have to rush you because you guys spend 10 minutes talking about my little pony. No. Favorite pony, go. Rarity. Boom. Understood. Boom. Understood. Boom. This is a nightmare, dude. I've got to plug in these side connectors and there's like zero clearance here for them. Credit to ASUS. The finished install is going to look really clean though. Man, there's a lot of room for cable management back here. Say what you will about this thing being large. It's very in charge. Nice little RGB and fan hub back here. This is going to be a sick looking build. Here you go. Go ahead and plug this into CPU. There we go. Why was that so hard? Why are you so hard? I just really like building computers. What? Oh my God. Hi. Okay. You know what? Actually, I can. I'll look. Ooh, no I won't. What am I even doing right now? There's a whole basement in the bottom that's going to cover all of this. I don't care at all about this cable management. Wow, that is, that looks horrible. But, but, hear me out. Boom. Solved. The ROG Astral. GeForce RTX. 5080. Quad-Fan. OC. How did we describe it before? Undisputed intercontinental, Jeffian. You're going to render so many frames, you don't even understand how fast. You're going to rip through all of the threads in your mama's clothing. She's going to not even recognize you when you're done. You can go ahead and put the GPU in. You might want to start by undoing these screws. Of course. She's a heavy boy. Are you really going to, right in front of my salad? What, you're going to leave the, the, You're right, you're doing it so well. Oh my God, that was the worst thing I've ever seen. Oh, what? Oh, this one ripped too. Yep. What the heck? ASUS. That's what I'm saying. Hold on, I can't quite see. Hey, I didn't push. You know what, I'm going to let you do it. I don't want the pressure. You know what I think it is? Hold it for a second. Holding for a second. Yep, you're good. Go for it. Hey, there we go. Noice. Wow. These are the same kinds of screws as what are included in the parts tray anyway. So you can just use whatever you want. Oh, okay. You're not going to yell at me again for using the wrong screws from the part tray? I'm not saying I'm not going to yell at you. Oh, okay. One thing I can trust is that if I do something wrong, Linus will yell at me. Oh, come on. It's true. Elijah. Shut up, Elijah. Get back to your hole. I like your management style. You're hired. Okay, I'm taking this back off for the second time. Tightened it up before I was actually ready. Why am I not able to figure out which, this one was the back one. Yeah, that's the one I picked up first. Dude, this looks sick. I can't believe the IO on this motherboard. How many USB do you want? Yes. It has two 40 gigabit per second USBs. That's like six 10 gig ones. 10 gig networking, five gig networking. Hey, did I mention you get peripherals too? Heck yeah, buddy. Heck yeah, you get the harp ace extreme. Nice, great. I have never actually tried this before. So you will be the first one in this room. What? Look at it go. That is so cool. It's dangerous though. I'm not putting my hand in there. You're not going to pretty woman me. It's beautiful. Whoa, that's really light. Jeez, that is actually really light. All right, I'm going to plug it in. There's a lot of front IO on this thing too. Oh, that fox pretty nice. You ready? I'm ready to gain. It's your big moment. Here we go. Oh dude, it's already doing stuff. Oh wow, I didn't. You were wondering if you could put a GIF. Yeah, I think you could probably do that. I will be happy to put a GIF in there. That's a pretty cool post readout. This is normal for AMD platforms. It takes them quite a while to train the memory. Hey, here it comes. Let's go. Oh, hey, wait, where's the dongle for this? Did anyone plug it in? This is not a wireless keyboard. Do you want me to plug it in? Okay. Should I plug it into the 10 gig USB or the 10 gig USB or the 10 gig USB? Dude, that is a sick looking rig. I think you're good to put the side panel on. Let's just go Expo one. And then we're just going to turn it down to 6000. You can put that on. Trust me, she's golden. See, see. Have you even gamed on like a modern high performance system? Like at a friend's house or you know whatever. No. Have you tried a high refresh rate display? We must have accidentally put in a drive that doesn't have Windows on it. Whoopsie Goodles. But this gives us an opportunity to quickly install a drive and look at this. Dim Dot 2 is tool-less now. How cool is that? One of the games you told me you enjoyed playing is the Master Chief Collection. What were you like getting before in terms of FPS? No idea. This is going to look amazing then. Let's cue into a game, especially with the 240 Hertz monitor. 4K. Where is this on like the ploof scale? If ploof has done a video of it, we'll insert it right here. Go watch it and you can find out yourself. I mean, we're in just the helicopter right now, but we have over 400 frames per second with our 1% lows hitting like 500, 600. Is it more playful than what you had before? It is so smooth. Don't die. It'd be really embarrassing if on the first mission with your brand new computer. It's only on normal too. Thanks for highlighting why it would be even more embarrassing. Speaking of highlights, the HDR on those grenades, am I right guys? I've never been able to compile shaders before. With everything on ultra. Now that you've used the mouse a bit, you said it was like super light at first. Felt like a prop. Are you enjoying it? Yeah, it's super light. And that's the other thing. It looks like it's got like super glidey feet. And it just slides across this Northern Lights desk pad. What did you have before in terms of peripherals? Were they fine? Logitech G502. Oh, G502. A razor just straight green is the only color still. No razor here, only ASUS ROG. Heck yeah, bud. Thanks again, guys. Would you say it's 13 years better than your old computer? This is 13 years like in the future from right now, bud. Okay. This is so like future. You're enjoying it. I'm enjoying it so much. So good. No doubt it's a gaming experience that's unlike anything Tony has ever touched. Now all he's gotta worry about is getting it home in one piece because I wasn't joking earlier. Once we hand this off, it's not our problem. I don't know how customs feels about that. But I know how ASUS ROG feels about it. Thank you once again for sponsoring ROG Rig Reboot. We're gonna have links to all of the fantastic ROG products that we used in the video description and we'll have a link to the playlist of all the previous times that we've done this. Stay tuned by the way because this is not the last one for this year."}
