The problem is most of what we say is, like, not...
Yeah. Can't go on the internet. That'd be the challenge.
Things get cut for a reason.
If we would, all 90 of us would like to keep our jobs. Yeah.
I can't get canceled, honestly. It's like a lot of pressure.
Yeah. This is why, at some point, we're just going to have to, like, bar you from Twitter, which I'm actually
kind of surprised doesn't happen yet. Oh, Nick and Colton tried.
So your cat's allowed on the counter, hey? I tried for, like, months to tell him to not go on the counter.
And he just goes on the counter anyways. So I kind of just gave up.
And, like, he was decent about it when we were at home, but I would check the cameras and he would just be laying
on the counter until we got home. You can always identify the non-cat owners in the comments
because they'll be like, that's so unhygienic. And they're not wrong.
But have you ever had a cat? Yeah, they don't care what you have to say. They do as they please.
This doesn't look that bad. But EK's kits look an awful lot like EK's just buying custom
water cooling parts and doing it yourself. Yeah, they just do that for you.
I see. I want to make sure that the CPU block will work with this adapter.
Worst case scenario, we can run to the office and get a 7200 block.
Because it's just the back plate, right? I believe so.
Yeah, because the front is the same one, pretty sure. It's a different back plate and different screws.
Yeah, there's no new.
I'm certain this AORS robot has to be stolen.
No, it's from PAX. What's an AORS robot? I don't know, but the guy at the booth said, he was like,
yo, your Jake, take this. And I was like, I don't know what the fuck this is, but all
right, I have two. You do have two. Jesus.
And they have been in there since September. Yeah.
I'm sorry, guy at the AORS booth. I just don't actually have a use for that.
I believe you. Yeah. You want one? Nope.
If I took every random figurine or travel adapter
that everyone handed me at a trade show, my house would be full of cheap, crappy screwdriver sets.
I can't anymore. Yeah, so that's part of the Intel upgrade.
I did that ahead of time. That's good. Yeah, it was not fun.
I didn't have a level. I can tell. Yeah. Oh, come on.
I can tell. This side is a little crooked. The other side is straight.
You can't have one side be crooked.
That means it's crooked. Yeah, but nobody's looking at it. It's bent because of the weight.
He tells me yesterday. Look at this. Does that look lovely?
No, no, no, no, no, David. He's like so proud of himself.
He's like, I didn't have a level when I put it up, but it's totally level.
I have all the real. It is pretty.
OK, David, honest opinion. Look at it.
It's pretty level. It's level relative to the ceiling.
I measure it. Is the tire staying there? Yeah. Yeah, it's fine.
This is for David, though. And to be fair, the right side, it's only so funny to me
because I hung one of those on my own when Yvonne was out for the night not long ago,
and the result was about like that. Yeah, and it.
I redid it. You redid it.
I did. It was also like six inches too low.
And my poor aunt, you've met my aunt, right? Yeah. Smoked her head on it.
It started bleeding. That's why I put it so high. Yes, you were correct to do so.
You don't have to redo it. I did. You're probably one of the worst for this.
How bad is it working at a tech review site?
I buy lots of tech things. Yeah, because you don't realize what you're missing
until you try it sometimes, and you're like, oh no.
Yeah, so that's the difference between $300 and $1,000 pedals.
That's what happened to Ploof with the QD OLED monitor. He had no intention of buying a new monitor.
I mean, he tried to do his life. I was there. I was there that day at your house.
He was like, I'm buying this. He bought it on the spot.
Yeah, we're going to have to actually start doing stuff instead of just laughing at your performance at any cost
to ergonomics set up here. Literally.
But at least you have a comfortable chair. This chair is a good deal, though.
I got it for $1,200 Canadian. Man, picking up expensive Herman Miller chairs
from like bankrupted DC-funded startups. Yeah.
That's where we got all of ours at the office. A lot of them are logitech ones, which is so weird.
We did not pay sticker price for a single one of our high-end
ergo chairs. I think we got most of them for like $500, $600. Man, I missed it.
I'm going to miss these monitors. These 1080p.
You know, I overclocked them to 75 hertz, both of them. Nice.
Yeah. It actually is a huge difference. 60 to 75 is a massive screw the environment.
Meanwhile, Apple's going, well, we don't want any e-waste, so we're not going to include chargers.
Gigabyte. All the chargers.
Starphone fight. Ow.
Ow, hey. That hurts. That one's heavy. Yeah, good.
I didn't know logitech even still makes these 5.1 kits.
I guess how much I paid for this. It's used, but brand new.
Like the guy got it for a gift and didn't want it. Or he stole it, but I'm going to go with gift
and he didn't want it. Let's just retake that. I don't want to keep it. No, we're using that take.
He wanted like 300 bucks, but it was on Facebook
for like three months. And I was like, I'll give you 100 bucks.
And he was like, at this point, it's been posted for so long. I'll take it.
All right. It's on there as on as it's going to go. CPU header.
Wait, the pump? I don't want to put the pump on the CPU header. Yeah, you put the pump on the CPU header.
I don't want the pump running like full tilt. What? No, you put it on the alt CPU header.
OK, why? Yeah, because that way, if you set up the system shut down
in the event of a CPU fan failure, it'll shut down if your pump fails. CPU opt.
Pump failure is a real bad time because the water will start to get hot and it'll like boil.
Yeah, in the block. And that increases pressure as the water becomes a gas.
And then you go, boom. Kind of impressive how complete this kit is.
They even ship a tubing cutter. I mean, that's not the kind of thing
that I would necessarily think is the best use of resources
for a first time water cooler. But it certainly makes the process easier.
We have a visitor. Is it a postage guy? Is there a package?
That's a big package. What the fuck is that? She said. That's what Linus said about me.
Hey, guess who's set up over here? Boy, your legs are a lot longer than mine.
Yeah, I don't know, not getting anything. Oh.
That's all the way forward. That's all it's got. That's how you're driving. OK, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
How do we? I want to hear these speakers.
Let me just like, I got to make sure they're in surround sound mode first.
OK, all right. Jeez. I just clicked the button.
I was right in my ear. I was trying to hear if anything was coming out of the back one.
I was stupid. Why'd you do that? Well, because I'm trying to help.
Are you stupid or something? What are you stupid or something?
How do you have this hooked up exactly? Because I see a USB cable here or something,
but this is clearly not it. What are you asking?
Oh, the racing sim? Yeah. Oh, it's like not connected at all.
OK, after how obsessively you cable managed the server room at work, I got to say, Jake,
I'm a little surprised at this setup. To be fair, the reason the racing sim is so not cable
managed is because I bought new cables.
I didn't want to do it. Wait, is this the new shifter or the old shifter?
This is the old shifter, right? No, it's the new one. This is the new one? You're filming something.
What? I can't even tell the difference.
What the hell? This is the, oh, OK.
No, I can see the difference now. OK.
You can see the difference now, the rain is gone.
OK, this feels pretty good.
It feels better. It's definitely better. Yeah.
All right, that's pretty cool. Oh, it's twitching. Is it yellow or red?
It's twitching. It's doing stuff. Is it yellow or red? It's red. I don't remember which is which.
Actually, I should keep my hands clear of this thing. It's going to rip your frigging wrists off.
Can we try to calibrate the shifter one more time?
We're having some trouble calibrating the shifter earlier. OK, go to first.
Make sure you're first, not second. I'm first for a long time. OK, you go to second.
Hold on, no, no, that's not second. Second? Yeah.
Third. You in third, not fifth? OK, fourth?
Yeah. Fifth? Yeah.
Sixth? Is that sixth, though? No, that's sixth.
Jesus, that poor keyboard. You're in sixth, right? Yeah.
Seventh. One of the keys fell off.
Where did it go? There was already a key missing. I don't take responsibility for that one. What?
No, there was not. Yes, there was. What? What was it dropped more than once?
It was not missing anything, but it was morning. Now it's definitely missing some stuff.
You know, I did want a new keyboard, so. Oh, Jesus Christ.
OK, there's one. I found one. Well, we just need the up key, which is fortunately
a small key. There you go. Oh, you found it. Wow, OK.
Do they go back in? Oh, yeah. Oh, mint. Problem. It's mint.
It was never broken. This kind of setup is super cool, but it's such a pain.
You have to like the game of troubleshooting and configuring things more than you like the game of actually
playing with it. And the best thing is, even in the stock form, it's still not going to be like, I'm
going to have to tweak the settings both in the game and on the wheel itself.
Yeah. Speaking of which, I wonder, does it detect that there's more torque now?
Woo! Cool.
Beautiful. You want to play some games? Yeah, I'll play some games.
You want to drive a 911, you said? Yeah, sure. You didn't buy a real Porsche?
I know, right? You did this last time.
Oh, no, there's a thing. You can totally see the track.
All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem.
OK, OK. And then braking.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. OK, OK, OK, OK.
It is amazing what a difference it makes being able to feel the road in the wheel.
OK, not that it helps me much.
Oh, no.
OK, I don't know how to drive.
Did you turn damage off? I think it's off, yeah.
For me, the big problem in games is I don't have a sense of the speed.
Like, I was going 140 kilometers an hour and just in the game, I don't feel it.
I am like in the surround, though, Jake. You got to try this.
Oh, I'm in neutral. Oh, wait, what?
Did you not configure fifth gear?
I thought I did. Oh, OK, fifth gear is neutral.
So that's a good thing to know. Wait, do that again?
Did you push the clutch? Push the clutch in all the way.
OK, yeah. Well, sixth gear, I guess. Sixth gear it is.
It works. Hey. It's a little bit slow. Yeah, it's a little.
Yeah, not much torque, but that's fine.
I won't be needing sixth gear for it. Oh, I put in second gear to not blew it up.
Is this game simmy enough to blow up your engine?
If you have damage on, yes. Nice.
Oh, no. Oh, oversteered a little.
Hey, you've got to try this. You've got to try this. Come try this. Hold on, I've just got to pull over nicely
on the side of the road here. Oh, golf. Sorry, car. Sorry, car.
Car enthusiasts everywhere are arena. These are perfect.
Yeah. I should get more better ones, but oh my god.
But hey, does it work for today? And it actually, there's just a little bit coming out here.
You should go in a race so you can hear the cars behind you and stuff.
Surround.
Yeah. Oh, man, this wheel feels much better with that.
Oh, it just grenade at the engine.
Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I feel less bad now.
Oh, I saved it. Sort of.
But the Crerigee T in the dirt. This is not a car you would drive in the dirt on the Nurburgring.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's not true, like you said. You said this is not a car you would drive in the dirt
on the Nurburgring. I would.
You shouldn't. Portion enthusiasts everywhere are mad.
Oh, my god. I've never driven this car in this game, but oh, my god.
He's got it. He's got it.
OK, jump in a race. Jump in a race. I want to hear this around.
You should. It's not working properly. Oh, really?
You should be able to hear the car behind you more. But there is no car behind you.
No, the engine of the car. Oh.
Think of where the exhaust comes from.
Oh, it's working sometimes. It's like working and then it's like ticking out a little bit.
I was just reading that you really
need your motherboard audio drivers and mine are not installing right now.
Probably because I have existing real tech drivers
that I need to uninstall first.
The fan is so awful. It's not even that it's crooked.
I wouldn't care about that. It's that it makes the light flicker.
Yeah. You know, like if we were to shut the light off in here,
you could see that happening. Yeah. Maybe I'll just turn the REB off.
Yeah, yeah. We'll just take the stickers off. And it's like motion peripheral vision,
which is exactly the most noticeable kind of motion.
Yeah.
