We got his attention on the stream and I got a DM. Yo, how you want to do this?
And I'm gonna say let's just wing it. You can stay live or whatever. We'll take over your carpet PC building
We we tend to go on the inside of the t-shirt like that that way if you got the chest hair or whatever
It doesn't rip it off, which is nice. Oh from under. Yeah, is it very unconventional?
No, no professional set whatever might queue up like this, but we found it's pretty consistent
How's it? Oh, how's it sound? Oh, he hasn't switched from the
You did sound right?
Oh, you know, it has me too. What's up? Welcome. This is Andy by the way. Oh, that's what you're Andy
All right Sus
Okay, so you want you want to give it a little bit of a rundown?
Okay, okay. Yes, I'm not the most computer expert, but I'm decent at it. Okay. I've gotten decent relax
Relax, very some people knew me from the other video and they think I'm really bad with computers
I'm decent. I've been to this computer. Yes, booting up. I play it back in right and then on that the next day
I use the the capture card. No capture. Yeah. Yeah, I know God. Oh, yeah, and then the computer just goes
It's just dead. Okay, and then it says USB overcurrent
Yeah, when I boot it Was it up? Okay. This mobile is right. Okay. All right. Okay
Well, this is a bad sign. Well, what happened you hear that?
Rolling around in here. So what in here is video safe and not video safe in terms of rooms?
So I'm gonna say I stream this whole thing. Okay. I can just set up like a little coffee table or something there like yeah
If you don't come up with something just you just tell me yeah, no, no, I'm good man. Okay. Oh
All right, never mind. We're gonna set up in here. All right guys
Okay, I'll do it. No, we're not going to the kitchen camp where he's gonna bring the monitor and keyboard and mouse in here
I'm gonna fire it up and then something really funny is gonna happen
I'm gonna use my magic tech tips fingers and I'm just gonna go to turn it on and it's just gonna turn on and work perfectly
And then I'm gonna have come down here for nothing It happens actually a lot more than you'd think Anthony one of my guys had a whole video set up on Friday
Where he hell had this whole script written up for why the thing didn't work and like all the troubleshooting he went through and then on set
He scripted in that I'm supposed to press the button and it's supposed to not work and I'm gonna explain it
And I'm sitting there explaining why it's not working boom thing lights up I'm sitting here going Anthony's like I spent two days troubleshooting this two days of my life were dedicated to troubleshooting this
You walk in you press the button it works. So that could happen and you guys you guys will be here for it. Let's go
I'll realize that I'm a computer like just I'm just table computers if you do that. I'm telling you since you have a platform
I can use it. It's a ramble. Okay. What is it with new GPUs and no HDMI ports?
Well, they have okay, you can get as many as two
But if you want more what you need is a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1 adapter and adapter. They're like
1525 bucks. Yeah, it's still kind of lame to buy like a $3,000 or $2,000 piece of hardware and like the most normal
HDMI port doesn't work on it. It's like come on man. I get it But for PC use I would strongly recommend DisplayPort anyway. Yeah, of course more bandwidth. Yeah, but there's cool PCs
monitors with HDMI still, you know, like don't want to throw them out. But yeah, I get it 25 bucks. Got it. So is this HDMI only?
Yeah, that's very unusual. I got both. I got both. I don't know about it
All right Okay, there's no GPU in here right now. That makes sense. He probably moved his good GPU over there. So
Okay
Is it always like this? I can't
Guys, is it always like this? It is. It's okay. It's a streamer house type of thing, right?
So, you know, that's just gonna what you see is what you get. Yeah, that's oh, do you have network cable? Oh, yeah
The one that goes to the kitchen is useless now because we're cool. I have no idea what this video is
The thing might just fire up and work perfectly. I have no idea
Well, I mean, is there just like an HDMI cable in here? Maybe or what?
I'm dumpster diving at XQC's kitchen
I There's a lot of tech in there. Oh, yeah, there's a lot of tech boxes. That's for sure. Oh, here's a DP cable. Hello
All right, I'm gonna need a power cable as well
You know what? There's probably one in the power supply box So C13 is your standard computer plugin is like C15 or C7 C19. I think it is C19 can handle a higher current draw
Then C13. Okay, so when you've got a 1500 or 1600 watt power supply. Yeah, it's a 1600 watt
If you actually maxed it out that normal C13 could get hot. Okay, and it could cause a fire
Yeah, theoretically in practice probably not and this is just kind of unnecessary
But hey, it's here and we've got it. So we're good to go Yeah, we're getting too crazy. This is over the same concept as a new 490s
I was recommended to get a braided cable. That's not the one that comes with the GPU, right?
Like the power the power adapter the three to one that's been kind of disproven at this point
Oh, no. Yeah, so it's not a big deal Whatever, whatever you had is probably fine. Well, I just thought was like cool and really like tech-savvy
I got these like new braided wires and like now I don't use a stock one
I got this brand new one. Don't worry about it, but I guess it's disproven. So it doesn't matter anymore
Oh, no at the time It was a pretty savvy move because there were a lot of concerns about the stock ones like melting. Oh, yeah
That's what I'm telling you, but it turns out that it was mostly just user error. Okay, let's see if it fires up for me here. Okay
So we had a little flicker there. Yeah. All right, if you want to go look at that at the error code 15 orange
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's always orange. So that's that oh, oh, you mean the little light under it
Yeah, okay, but it'll go in a little white and red and different numbers if you want you can kind of hang with those guys for a bit
I mean, I mean Since you're willing do you think that's for sure? I will come in when I have to all right cool cool cool
I do want to open this up just so we can see zero zero. Yeah, so your numbers
So zero zero could be a bad mount on the CPU. Yeah
Sometimes what can happen though is if you've got a part that's kind of flaky
You can start to get different error messages depending on how it error it out
So this could still absolutely be a little board. Yeah, this could still be bad RAM
But this could be as simple as I just need to pop that CPU out put it back in and we're ready to rock
You make sense. Yeah, you think it's like if errors are stacking you're only gonna see one and not the rest of them or something
Possibly. Yeah, or if if the way that it's
If what's wrong with it is like kind of a loose connection
Then that would explain kind of the flakiness that you're describing or eventually it boots because here's a really fun one
We've actually seen this before we had an AMD server and this is wild because you'd go to boot it up the first time
Wouldn't work every time yeah, and then you just like leave it there like trying to boot for 15 20 minutes
Yeah, and it would turn on you know why by itself because the thermal expansion as it heated up made the pins make contact
That makes sense Every time I get overkill it's there's a compatibility problem. There's there's something with some of the hardware
You know what they say about the bleeding edge. No, I know what that means. Well, it cuts you
It's an expression. It means like the very the very top of the line
Oh, the the very fastest the very best. I thought so you you go with the bleeding you go with the bleeding edge
Well, you're gonna I get kind of you get cut. Yeah, exactly. It happens. It happens our editing workstations
We have a policy. We will only buy a one-generational platform
What would be more digital like we won't buy the latest platform. Oh
Always one back always one back. Oh, yeah, because that way they've had a year 18 months sort everything out
You know, yeah, but I get how it is because you've probably got sponsors beating down your door trying to be like
We want you to run our GPU or CPU and we're trying to sell the new one and you get it true
But I mean, I mean with how hard it was for you to get here I mean, you know that I don't answer emails or DMs, right?
So I mean, but I didn't really get to see the second email I sent to my team was he is notoriously terrible at communication
So whatever you tell like any sponsor for this video or anything like that. There's a solid chance it ain't happening
But I had your address so I figured worst case scenario. Yeah, show up
You know what? I was nervous today because I was like if I ghost him. It's good. He's got my address
I was thinking about it too. It's okay. It's good. It's good. It's it's my old PC
What's at the coke bottle? Well, it was uh, it was so that the radio wouldn't touch the ground, right?
So it would still be sound for a cooling. What's sound for it? No, that doesn't even make a difference
Oh, well, I taped it on it and
Yeah, that's that's the squid PC. I mean based on how much trouble that you had mounting the radiator to the case
I can see why this might be easier for you That's it, but it was working and it temp was more high. It actually wasn't working perfectly fine
Right. It just got a little bit of dust and a food on it But yeah, the dust is relatively okay. The food is relatively not okay. Yeah, it's pretty bad. This was a blast
Yeah, we will hopefully we'll encounter each other again. We will I mean, I know you don't travel much
But if you ever in Vancouver hit me up, we'll hang out. I might be our friends there
Okay, all right. Well also Well, they say no, thanks for your time. That was really chill. I mean
Susie that actually that generally helped the yeah, no, of course
I mean, I was I was just kind of inspired right because you were like always having these problems
Yeah, and what I appreciate about it is that you try. Yeah, right. You're trying Dan it no matter how many times you
You keep trying you got a kind of either pity or respect it, you know, and I'm sitting there going like
How wild would it be? He's on Twitter again. I'm having trouble with his computer again. If I'm just like
It and I get on a plane. I can go fix it. Yeah, like how wild would that be?
How about your people gonna freak out? That's like, I was ready to get it the same day that it happened. Remember I
Know this guy messes me back. I message him. I'm like, hey, how about I come fix your computer?
He's like, oh, I'm gonna be around for the next couple hours. How's that sound like?
My brother in Christ I live like a thousand miles away from you
I don't know miles, right? Some kilometers. It's all good though. I love it. It works great. It looks great. All right. See you later stream
You guys have been a blast. Bye. Bye. We're heading out. Oh, and I promised you this was yours
You're very own screwdriver. Thank you. I appreciate a lot. Do not leave it behind here. That's that's yours
No, I'll do it with the PC. All right, perfect. No, no. All right
Okay, we'll save troubles and I hope you have fun in LA. All right, you guys enjoy the rest of the stream. Bye. Bye. Bye guys. Bye, Andy
