get it get on over here chris so this is an interesting one our
final contestant for rg rig reboot 2018
or rather our final winner chris here had only one request for this
machine wireless internet that's it that's the one special request
well hopefully ASUS managed to send over a board with wi-fi because tough series
boards didn't used to have it oh they did
cool well we're off to the races then aren't we let's put the jet up
what are you wearing an LTT hoodie an LTT t-shirt
actually chris i forgot to show you the best part of my ensemble today
everyone's been complaining about my socks and sandals so
i agreed finally to switch to sandals and bare feet
oh bear bare feet
so have you ever built a computer before yes really so this will be easy peasy go
ahead and get started do it i got the case open first
do you not like my method fine i'll do the motherboard no it's a free country no it's a free
country keep an eye on me make sure i don't try not to be judgmental right now
how would you go about it then well i don't know you don't seem like you care
you seem like you just want to forge your own path and so far be it for me to
to interfere with whatever it is whatever this is what kind of system you
built before uh i have some old like
Windows xp computers like early 2000s oh
wow okay so first of all never open anything over top of the socket you drop
it just in case you dropped it good point yeah so you drop enough things you
start to come up with mitigation strategies
yeah that's good so what are we loading in here 9700k
how do you pull this off did he end up with the best CPU
oh it's because he got to go last
that's the secret dang
eight core chip man nice sorry you were having trouble getting
the box open right yeah i'm gonna show you um a secret technique for getting
past these seals that's been handed down by my unboxing forefathers
oh just to just go around it yeah like if there's a detour you just drive
around yeah so you put it in the 2280
socket here or at least you try you just
scrape it around on the board for a bit and then yeah go ahead yeah yeah yeah
grab grab a socket there gotta find the right size
nope too small
uh so there we go we've got our m.2 drive we've got our CPU
what would you think comes next old timey chap we put the motherboard
into the computer no he's just like no foreplay graphics
let's put the graphics card on now and then just put it in there with no power supply no power supply um
the RAM yes let's put the round then okay
instead of putting in the RAM last so you know what's cool you actually ended
up with the coolest wham too this is the trident z
royal heck yeah all right
all right how does RAM go in well normally
there we go nice he's done round before
that is kind of blingy to the point of
ridiculous and it is like RGB up the butt what
would you like to do now i'm gonna go with my first impulse and say the power
supply so these are your custom individually sleeved cable mod cables
and once you get those sorted out then we can plug them into your power supply
molex cable back that's what i figured
okay then have you considered the possibility that you're done oh
done we got more cables
oh you seem so stressed out man
it's expensive nothing can go wrong
okay put your cables on first
it's a lot easier to put them on now than to try and finagle them in in there
it's facing up this would be the closest
you were already getting basically the banginess
gaming computer and it's just gonna get a little bit
more banging because we're gonna have to go with an rog motherboard here because
your case has one of these connectors
so these are designed for high data rates and high power
delivery such as is needed for usb
type-c ports so um you know i'm just
gonna do a quick swap here for the components that we have
uh installed so far that's a pretty nice
upgrade
yeah right why i've been installing RAM
since before i was born
i'm gonna need a minute but i dress older than you so it's okay
you're gonna be all right yeah i'm fine no i'm good okay
you're only as old as you feel yeah well i feel really old today Colton thank you
you're only as old as you act how about that where
the chuffing hell is the i o shield for the oh it's one of
the ones with the built-in i okay it's fine okay so now i really wish you
hadn't exploded the packaging for this motherboard
do we need like a clean up session like a montauk no it's
going to be fine because it's going to be Colton's problem
oh and he's gone there is not a lot of clearance here
yeah we are going to have to take the fan out in order to install this
motherboard wow that's a tight fit
snug like a bug yeah
okay it goes in but the tolerances on
this case could be better
um you know what
i'm just going to do these sounds fast i'll hand you screws
helpful that way
one job chris one job
i drop things almost as much as you do it's nothing to be proud of you could be
my real dad
all right so the motherboard's in
i'm gonna say put the SSD into its
holster like a texan
is this gonna be your everyday carry SSD
uh yeah but i can't take it in to work not allowed
are you sure you don't have a knife
see i thought those were fake no real fake knives you don't need regular
real knives when you got real fake knives you got fake fruit
there's no way that you could do this any worse than our last winner
is this a challenge no
and okay
okay i lied that it is possible for you to be as bad at this as the other guy
and yeah now do i mount it like that
after looking at i'm like oh i i see where i am
screwing up screwing it up yeah that's good i'll get
there in the end it starts with no
you know lincoln park yeah of course i do huh he knows lincoln park right check
mark maybe you are an old soul check no check my phone you'd see a lot of old
songs on there did he just call it an old song
oh i'm just gonna if it's if it's from to he was about to say if it's from 2000
or earlier it's old okay you're right is what he
was about to say because that's before he was born is
insync would you consider in sync an old band i am actually going to see the
backstreet boys i am so excited they're coming to vancouver next summer nice
oh really yeah i got tickle i'm not even ashamed i'm into it with
bsb bsb this cooler is pretty cool
so aside from just being like an asatech
built dual 120 millimeter blah blah blah it
has a screen on it does it tell me the temperatures it can
oh okay it can tell you whatever you want it can curse at you if you'd like
oh sweet this is a little tricky and i don't expect you to know the right way to do
it we just want to check our orientation here to make sure that
so that's going to be probably how we want to put that on
you know what i'm just going to pop it on there for you so what's the highest
spec Windows xp computer you've built uh it
has a gt210 minute okay well that's a graphics card at
least uh the processor is
a pentium 4d 3. not three by the time you have a
pentium d in the machine it doesn't matter how many gigahertz it is really
it's more of a space heater to be honest yeah okay
cooler's in looking good what's next
i guess that needs to be turned around then for cable management in the back
oh would you like
LTT hook and loop fastener ties
sure they're just like regular cable
ties except they say
LTT on them
nice ah there we go i'm just gonna replace those
uh built-in cable ties for you there with
some nice decent quality LTT ones decent
qualities more secure i'd say we're not saying they're the best we're just
saying they're fine they're functional wow this is coming together now
okay yeah we can do the graphics card if you want all right this is it
the scariest part this is the rtx 2080 what do you mean scariest part
this is fun yeah except
fastest gaming card known to man
oc edition 11 gigs of gddr6 memory this
is probably more gddr6 memory than you
have in your life of any kind of memory well unless you count my memory drawer
best part man this is as good as it gets and your
timing for this build it just keeps getting better battlefield 5 finally
just dropped with rtx enabled ah it's a
tight fixed box oh thank you
don't drop it i know that's why i said this is the scariest part this i don't
have a replacement on hand for and also
this is more expensive than any computer i've owned alone
so yep
we have a quick peek-a-boo here
how'd you do that oh i got stuck okay
i'm gonna bend that back for you there bud
just uh take care of that there for your bud there and oh and now it fits just
for that i'm gonna peel your graphics card no i'm not gonna do that i'm not gonna do that i wouldn't do that i
wouldn't peel another men's graphics cards go for it go for it after all this
practice
oh oh oh oh oh no oh
awful oh wow two-handed p well
oh my goodness this is i think this is the worst level of chaos
out of any of these builds is this wireless
uh nope also you can decide if you want a braided cable
or a regular cable good because braided cables are i'm going to go with regular
because braided are heavier and drag fascinating so i had just said on our
last rog rig reboot why would anyone not choose the braided cable uh because the
braided cable uh has more drag to it and it's a heavier cable so
looking good i'm liking the uh old-timey hat with the uh brand new that's how
that's how i do things look even at home really yeah
have you ever owned a displayport anything uh i owned a 1080p monitor that
had a displayport option but i never had a displayport on the computer well this
monitor has more than just displayport this thing is 160
hertz 2560 by 1440 resolution g-sync
and in the other corner nothing
nothing stands against it okay yeah now this is basically as banging as it gets
for gaming i think you'll be able to tell that it's really fast and really
clear have you ever experienced
greater than 60 hertz displayness the
highest i have seen is 70 something so i
just enabled overclocking for this monitor so that'll get you from 144 to
165 hertz boom there it is i'm going to test it
out on my favorite game minesweeper oh the mouse
you can mind sweep like nobody ever mind swept you can see exactly when the clock
changes its number so each of these only borders one so
it's either here and here or it's just one of these
and it's both of these
now i'm gonna take a 50 50 guess and go with wait you don't have to i do
i not this one here yep which means that's clear
which means that's clear too hey yes
all right that means these three are clear not that one wait no no
uh one over that that and that yeah those are all these three you play a
real game now though this is a real game i'll have you know
okay okay so in typical call of duty fashion people are running around on the
battlefield with swords just knifing each other all right
how are you liking it how's it feel much
better especially on the graphics department
i don't even think i i could play this game on my old computer how's the
smoothness uh very smooth
even though uh i'm not used to sensitivity it's smooth enough that i
can see and stop myself i can't see that i'd
be playing this competitively but having a lot of fun
no no oh the dog's
you got dogged you shot him like three times
i get such a kick out of this or thinks like uh hey you're playing cod
now it's orange did you just die yeah nice turns red when you die
i'm a rage quit this is my first rage quote on this computer i i'm i'm upset
wait no how's your kill to death ratio oh i reached it right it was around one
to one ish i think you were a little bit below but i don't blame you if you're not used to the sensitivity you can get
that dialed in though that has like tons of dpi adjustments and we're back to
your regular color scheme now that's that's pretty cool so that's it guys if
you dislike this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get
subscribed leave a massive shout out to ASUS rog in the comments below because
without their support this would not have happened this year we've now given
away a total of six top of the line gaming rigs over the last couple of
years and i would love to keep it going so give them lots of love in the
comments below and while you're down there you can check out the video
description where we'll have links to where to check out all this great rog
gear until next time bye guys
