we're sliding into another Intel extreme Tech upgrade this time around it's
Hoffman one of our editors who also does all the shoots for me for lttstore.com
oh yeah work it right yep you look great
thank you very much today we're going to be blowing the budget apparently because
he's got an OLED TV he's got an RTX 3080
he's got a core I9 CPU and there's no
way this fit within the five thousand dollar limit but one more thing yes two
systems two systems behind you right there oh my God it's a nest how on Earth
are we gonna do all of this oh you also need these since you're here
please sorry I'm not supposed to slide
around the front sorry
not gonna lie this looks extremely ambitious you have a full PC build new
TV and what are we doing with this it's an ass yeah I want a store oh yeah so
basically I'm giving you the workstation that you need to leave me and go back to
Independent work oh you're kind of too smart actually
first first I guess okay PC first ask
questions later bang yeah why'd you choose this particular motherboard CPU
combo it's um well the motherboard's cheap and the CB is a nine nine I mean
what's cooler than us saying I have a
nine line so don't you love the smell of new
electronics that manufacturing stank
oh oh my God can I play with this first
oh the Camaro does it have battery oh no
it's on now there's no way I need a USB
charger God this thing looks ugly doesn't it oh my God I need a money cat
it's a solar money cat but good luck I
know oh I know what it's for I know it's freaking bring me that money baby thanks
Intel the one from the office oh no no that's
mine oh wow
academic Excellence oh and third place
doubles I was with the Kumon so if you
need math questions just find me you know oh really that is wonderful what is
level j200 I don't know I don't remember that was grade eight oh can we that's
for the study breaks does it work now is that with your academic trophies do you
want some I got some Soju as well
oh my God I love it wait a second no you've told me about your Jank mod with
the PC in the Mac case thing back when we did our uh back when we did our thing
you were like oh yeah I have one too and then you showed it to me and I was like
oh that's pretty Jank I think we can do better wow it looks awesome
oh my God this is like walking into an Apple Store
Apple everywhere okay
the fact that you still have the G5 like
water cooler shroud things on there
you were doing really great really great up until the hard drive just being in
there oh that's not the only thing so dust though
Hoffman what's up have you ever cleaned
it no you know when I go to the Apple
Store The Genius Bar usually tell me to get a new computer so wow so you
actually already have a decent GPU why do you need an RTX 3080
everyone's getting 30 80. because I can oh my God are you at least
gonna try and get into gaming yeah well actually game sometimes look look here
look at what this is really yeah I
didn't even know you were like a racist game guy you know no one has beaten my
score in project cars you can't beat it Andy not even edso
before that episode kept talking about in the office he's like oh you should
play them you know this track and then I feel like someone's getting called out
right now yeah carry on it's been a year can we like have some competition please
we only had one race and I won that race I had no idea the editing then was so
spicy and I had no idea you took my prusa printer oh it's been so helpful
okay I found something that didn't take that long is this from work
well for crying out loud dude is this one of the new M1 ones too okay this is
where like for the lab those are not really actually for internal use you're
fine with this one though right like this MacBook here why do you need two
MacBooks from the office do you realize that if everyone took two
MacBooks we would need to issue 120 MacBooks yeah but you know they just sit
on the Shelf because no one ever uses MacBooks in our office
all right fair enough
hey are these the ones that EK uh gave
out at the Christmas party yeah wow clever budget use I'm starting to
understand how this happened no it's not clever because there's another cooler
right here oh you have two coolers yeah are we Building Together uh yeah sure
why not where's your screwdriver are you gonna
bring it well in my butt obviously but well not no don't say that oh yeah but
seriously I need you to decide for me okay can you settle like a debate air or
water air okay but maybe water okay all
right uh I learned nothing
this is gonna be your Nas then right yep have you given any thought to networking
at all or no no so it's do you have a switch no how are you going to access
your files on the nas that's something you have to teach me oh
my gosh we're gonna end up going shopping today no we're not we're not I
have a really long cable I stole from work like Ethernet cable that we can run
from the router to my room for now there's so many things wrong with what
you just said I don't even know where to begin is this
a super micro board yeah why do you have this got a Xeon in
there is it from work no I got it from
Craigslist okay I think I've so so basically we don't need to change
anything about this other than to blow some dust out of it exactly oh that's
not too bad yeah that's what I was like it's not too bad Andy that's not too bad
right not as bad as David's honestly David's
was the worst yep wait why didn't you go 12th gen oh
because um I made this whole list like a couple months back
oh you got screwed by the bad timings I
mean it's still very very fast CPU so I
think we this this thing right that's the secret you know how to build a
computer come on kind of stop stop pretending you built that right no I
didn't really no it came as a whole oh that's why it's so cheap oh yeah didn't
you build your Mac I did okay that was a long time ago I was gonna say it was
like a month to do it it was a while okay uh corner to corner which corner is
that that corner okay cool and then I see that you always wiggle it and then
you close it and then that's that thing will pop up
your computer yeah the the the speed the system works
make sure you got to keep this flap right here just in case you got our RMA
it or something like that okay all right are you done taking the piss and then we
got we got I forgot what these are 16 two sticks of 16 gigs stop I forgot what
these are in uh no I meant like the store like the memory like how much run
RAM Run Rin rub
two sticks of 16 gigs 3600 CL 16 16 gig
nice this is the part that gets crunchy right
that crunch is healthy right yeah yeah it's a good crunch now like now I'm
craving Captain Crunch all of a sudden honestly this is growing so well I feel
like we don't really need me anymore just be Hot Tips yeah you have so much
Tech tips though
was it is that like a baby seeing Lion's
Tech tips or Hoffman Tech tips oh oh you know my kid just learned how to say oh
really yeah why I'm wearing the LTV thing always point out of there and it's
like oh that's so cute
oh my God that's so strong Linus I was
like Kyle I want the biggest possible magnet embedded in the shaft he's like
is this big enough like is it the biggest possible magnet no well then
it's not big enough is it the screws Don't Come Oh I like that I'm gonna
steal one when it's out uh let's get the case oh it's there it is there we don't
have to go to the store and buy it so
taking Digs at Nicole is he like the
department troll or what it's a white case
it's pretty it is pretty but the thing
we got to figure out is our cooling solutions I would go with the nhd15
personally because I just don't like past
half and an air cooler with two fans on
it is basically good to go bulletproof it'll be running in 10 years I give you
my personal Linus Tech tips guarantee but the AI was more expensive right the
AI was more expensive and it looks prettier it looks prettier I need a
hobby so I think we should use the air okay we're going AIO let's do it so have
you ever installed an AIO before nope okay so now we're crossing new ground
with you Mr is this the RAM I mean I've
seen you struggle with the AIO all the time you know Mr smack talk here it's a
pretty good idea to make sure that you're gonna be better at it before you
come at someone else about how much they struggled because I'm getting real
unhelpful feeling I gotta say
that's a cooler yep am I gonna do it or
I told you I wasn't feeling very helpful I really where are the tech tips line is
wait can't don't you have to install this before installing mobile before
this I don't know well it's a quiz I developed some Amnesia here oh what is
this again what is it what tour calling
uh-huh
does this have a reference again no oh we can put this in now or we can put the
motherboard in now and we can install this after it doesn't really matter okay
put that in the front yeah throw the GPU fit oh crap is that what happened last
time no no that was with the other case Andy yes you're right though let's make
sure yep easy peasy no problem see that
Nicole
you know she's your supervisor now yeah she is okay yes so what she can't fire
me she can advise that you should be fired sorry Nicole Nicole you're amazing
she's amazing you're also gonna need to pop the front panel yeah just grab the
bottom and pull out it's a jerking motion yeah jerk it
do you want to do you want to jerk it you can drink it for me
wait is this screwed on oh thank God I didn't force it so that's how we break
things on camera sometimes yeah do you want looks or do you want convenience
the best looking you want looks yeah can
I talk you into convenience okay yeah let's do it okay let's do convenience so
we're gonna have the radiator fins right at the front and we're gonna have the fans pulling air through the radiator at
the backs if you put the fans at the front and they blow air into the
radiator then you have to take the whole thing apart in order to clean the dust
out of it and I've seen how much you like doing maintenance on your computer
did we ever do any tests about like the
stock paste oh EK ships decent paste with their stuff so I wouldn't worry
about that there are manufacturers that ship super cheap Pace with their
products but I I honestly I would just assume this is fine and use it okay
maybe you could get a degree even two degrees with something else but
oh I thought I better tell me go back to University oh no no no no no Kumon is
all you need Hoffman you know I think you could be
not if you just got some more education you know oh
it's like out of nowhere you know I'm working for you right yeah I guess it
speaks to my poor taste if you suck and we're gonna be done this build in no
time I love it see Andy I touch it's gonna be
easy and I love these accents why do you
have a 40 pack of anodized aluminum washers ah they're like
why not what are they for oh is it for
the motherboard yeah it is for the motherboard I think so yeah is it that's
dude I don't think so is that what these are for yeah but I have never heard of
people just like putting things on there like that and
for bling maybe I'm just not cool anymore no
you're you're the coolest oh stop
it's safe right I mean I wouldn't do it
that's okay as long as it looks cool not
gonna lie that looks pretty cool oh
um I have cable mod cables actually do you I do look at that wow and got some
gold accents too white black and pink what's gray with gold accents
bling bling I mean wear it loud right
you like it you like it I do like it I
love those cable Combs you go from like Tangled to dangle
I wish my life could be like that good solid power supply we've gone with an
rm850x are you gonna comment on uh 850
on a 30 80. it's fine I mean people have
done much worse James tried to get away with a 650 didn't he I don't remember I
can't remember that didn't work out actually two of the ones that I warned
about their power supply have had their power supply either fail or their system
shut off sometimes and they have had to replace their power supplies so
yours yours was no good I wasn't even counting you so that means three then
well it's not pretty but I think we dealt with your super long cable here
see if that was even gonna close oh yeah
there it is thanks people ask me Linus why you work out you know why you try to
get such a big booty so I can close the case
all right hey not bad let's get that GPU
installed right do it here you go well I
thought you're gonna do it that's your job oh that's true
uh we're gonna just have a big loop on this I guess because uh I screwed up
well that's perfect because I pay for those cables I want to see more of it
good more bang for your buck
sick
let's find out if it works you ready yeah you do it you do the honors you
know what you do it no you got it no you know because you build it no you got it
you name this is your machine it's your machine but you built but you configured
it okay fine can we do it together we can do it together okay ready
crap did you turn on the power supply
ready okay try again
hey I love this stolen from work the ABCs of gaming yeah
we can go to L is that your favorite what's what's l l is for loot no l it's
called LTT Store.com thanks Andy
oh boy it hasn't turned on yet how do
you know well because it oh oh the monitor was off it was off hey nice
everything looks totally fine what mouse
are we using really Hoffman the least ergonomic Mouse of all time you know
what's the best for this is slipping into pockets that's actually valid you
know I actually use this as a clicker for PowerPoint when I was in university
I would tape the bottom and then hide it in my pocket and click it wow that's
slick yeah I like it actually yeah so that's the only thing it's good for yes
I have a deck link like it bypasses all the uh NVIDIA driver system OS uh color
management stuff so that we can have a clean output to the TV on that TV yeah
so you'll sit in bed with like wireless keyboard and mouse or something and like
be working in but no I can just look
whoa okay I question your ergonomics okay your touchpad for this computer is
here and then you're gonna have your color accurate output for this computer
over there this computer actually goes with this
monitor I see yeah so this is the Windows
computer and computers does one person need how did I not notice this oh Lord
I'm sorry oh my God your paint's coming off your wall can you stick this up with
just like double-sided tape yeah I did
classic let's go get the nascon do you
have any hardware for this case this is an older case and requires those special
screws with the spacers for hard drive mounting
no huh I mean we could just do it the
Hoffman way just rest it on there and put it in there hard drive installed
right right Hoffman yes Swiffer the entire it up I don't know
can you this is a good budget kind of editing setup huh like the whole PC and
the Nas I love it yeah I love it you need to not have a GTX 580 in here
though that's phenomenally stupid what should I have in there nothing
we should use the Onboard video that's definitely on here oh okay yeah all
right that that was it that was your big cleaning effort yeah what okay what else
is there I don't even care okay it doesn't even matter I think you should
call it Big Nas X because it's big and it's oh my God I just wasn't really
expecting pop like that kind of like new Young pop culture from you yeah thanks
what if you put that one on top of it oh
that's pretty crazy you stack them oh what was that okay let's do the peel
peel everything peel all the things yeah suck it Andy I'm gonna sneak into your
house and peel all right
oh now we are definitely giving up some cooling on the bottom of this one but I
really don't think it's a big deal we got like three hard drives in there and we're definitely gonna take out that GTX
580. I could sell it for a bit huh I don't know maybe 20 bucks oops even now
it's not worth much over current have been detected on your USB device system
will shut down to protect your main board what did you plug in my man maybe
the keyboard is this cable like safe
I think so hmm you can figure it out
I'm not gonna lie Andy I am I am extra
confused right now did we miss something did we accidentally get
one of the little metal tabs in one of the USB ports or something no there's
nothing I can't tell if these are queued up errors or if they're new ones
I'm gonna get some drivers installed and then we're gonna see how that goes okay
sounds good look at these I got the hs8s
um they are big they are eight inch sups
there are other smaller Subs but I went for the eight because
it's like the end game speakers for me audio is 50 of the video and I want to
get better at it and these speakers are really going to
help me with studio monitors they're usually very flat sounding and not much flavor
in them just so that we can have a more accurate reference so I'm not expecting
these to you know really boom my room but I really want to hear
all the range in the frequency and these are going to do just fine for that I've
mixed a couple videos with my old speakers and there's a lot of complaints
airliners what on Earth did you plug that Ethernet
port into oh is this a hundred megabit per second
port ah shouldn't be this thing smells bad
what um sometimes you get a little bit of corrosion on the connections and if
you just give it a little unpluggy pluggy uh it'll
smarten up I think I speak for everyone when I say that eight inch is really too
much yeah it is yeah yeah for my rooms four five that's Lots
oh what are you talking about I sort of figured out the USB thing
your keyboard does not like being
plugged into a USB type a port so I plugged it into the type C and it
immediately lit up I stopped getting that error as soon as I reseeded the
internal USB type-c header so I'm hoping
that we're good to go now so it's your fault that's one way of putting it
that's all right Linus well the fact that you made a mistake and corrected it
you know that's hard that's what life's all about right yep
is it turning on no oh Lord
wait oh God oh my God look at how big this is
oh my God the eight inch is definitely
overkill for this room 100 uh yeah
you're like you're like right there
this is ridiculous dude
I have C1 right here for SDR grading this uh TV
is actually perfect but for uh HDR it's not actually that good because it is um
w o LED so that means it's got RGB
pixels plus a white pixel so when you go very bright in a scene the saturation
will actually go down but for SDR totally good
it's great perfect
ready it's a good thing it was on right hey yeah okay so you tell me where you want it
because counterclockwise please my counterclock
okay that's all I got do it do it go ahead that's perfect how's that yeah
sure closely yeah sure all right yeah
this is not very level Hoffman you've got a solid like
freaking like inch or two from one end
to the next poor Hoffman he's gonna like edit someone's portrait and send it to
them and they're gonna be like why is it like this
uh let's go back to the nas so the way I
configured it is you're gonna have 16 terabytes of usable space out of 24.
nice but what's cool is that as you add more drives that's all going to be pure
capacity so as long as every drive you add is eight terabytes or less you just
get the full capacity of those drives and you can add like any bit mix of
drives that you want
those are really tight tight as in like
good good oh that's good that's good how much were these three four five hundred
around that range per so it's like less than a thousand dollars for a pair like
should we just have something like this in the boots that work I mean we could
but we need to uh isolate the sound of the room but I actually I was working
from home and I managed to actually mix
the video on these I'm gonna check on my dog I'm sorry oh sure
whoa that is very stereo sir
right yeah you can hear everything with
these you can really hear it it's like headphone level separation that's really
cool all right okay LG hello why would
anyone have a TV subscription the option there should be an option for
none so in case my grandma gets a TV I guess
roasted oh the blacks it's so good I
mean it's off but we can laid a bet down and watch
something amazing not awkward yeah well
I also don't have Netflix do you could I use the company Netflix
please wow I'll log out after I'm done
with it I gotta say one thing that's tripping me
out a little bit aside from your crooked ass TV is that our sound is over there
yeah that wouldn't bother you though um I'll probably play it through the TV
so with the choice between great quality
audio that's coming from the wrong place or atrocious audio that's coming from
the right place you take the bad audio from the right direction
it's a tough call I'm I'm not saying there's a right answer here
I don't know what to do Linus but I think in this situation we can go
with the TV oh never mind yes I don't think you can
do it right yeah I feel like the
theater's over there but I'm watching from here yeah that's all right though
happy with the setup super happy
you know what I could I could get used to this bed just like I could get used
to saying hey thanks Intel another extreme Tech upgrade is wrapped up we've
got more coming if you guys enjoyed Hoffman's Tech upgrade where we figured
man we got new like gaming slash editing machine sick audio setup upgradedness
freaking TV you really know how to
stretch a dollar I gotta give you that took me a while if you enjoyed this one
go check out some of our previous ones we broke Andy's bed Dennis wasted his
money oh and you and the girls room for the first time
such a cringe title
