00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.759
oh my god is this the graphics card his heartbreaking story is one of loss

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.040
betrayal and pain this is just sad oh my

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:13.280
gosh this was a 2070 super in a previous

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:19.359
life earlier this week spencer aka neverlucky

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.439
chozo great username by the way posted this absolutely

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.240
gut-wrenching photo on reddit his heartbreaking story is one of loss

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.280
betrayal and pain you see

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:35.200
this was no ordinary computer you guys

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:40.160
this was his gaming rig his other child

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:44.079
what once glowed and hummed in the night is now charred

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:47.600
and silent to that

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:52.079
i say no his pc will rise like the phoenix we are

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:55.360
stepping in to write this gross injustice and all you have to do is

00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:59.680
prove that your story isn't a bunch of internet [ __ ]

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:03.440
so we offered spencer a trade

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:10.840
his pc for our pc and all i need to know

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:14.240
is if what's in here matches

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.159
what he posted on reddit

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.920
our sponsor glasswire is the tool that shows you which apps are slowing down

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:25.520
your connection in real time it's used by security pros to monitor for malware

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:32.920
block bandwidth wasters and detect suspicious activity get 25 off using

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:32.920
offer code Linus at the link down below

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:58.399
oh that is depressing

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.759
now anyone can get 70 000 upvotes with a good enough story reddit's full of

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:10.319
tearjerker posts from attention seekers that turn out upon further investigation

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:17.599
to be tall tales and we weren't going to build a brand new gaming pc and send it

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.560
to one of those people we needed proof

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:24.959
which is exactly why we had spencer pack up his machine and send it over to us

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.120
our poor pcmr brother here so the components lost

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:37.280
in the blaze include an AMD ryzen 5 3600x

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.400
a Noctua nhu 12s of which as far as i

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:44.319
can tell basically nothing remains

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.080
an MSI b450 tomahawk motherboard we've

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.920
got the io shield from that puppy i mean should we try

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:52.560
let's try and find pieces of each one as we go i mean this

00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:00.000
seems to be oh my god is this the graphics card oh

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:02.080
what was this 2070 super this was a 2070

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.599
super in a previous life Gigabyte GeForce rtx 2070 super oh i think i

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:11.360
found the CPU yep so here's the pads where the pins used

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:16.080
to be soldered on the bottom and we've verified spencer's story this was in

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:20.720
fact a chiplet design ryzen processor you can tell from the multiple spots

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.920
where die components were attached there

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:26.879
it had a two terabyte crucial bx 500 um

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:30.239
i don't see anything resembling an SSD in here but everything checks out so far

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.120
so this is just this is just sad

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:40.239
even the things you'd think would remain relatively unscathed i mean right like

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:45.280
metal doesn't burn in a wood fire right oh sure it does like this case is i

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:50.400
don't know colin like we had intended to kind of try to hot glue it back together

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:53.519
to resemble its original form but i don't know dude

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.439
yeah i mean there's a chance

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:04.400
okay so there's your power supply got a 500 watt

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:07.840
evga something or other oh i found another piece of the graphics card

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:13.200
oh are those cables there's the display

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.599
port and HDMI ports from the inside

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.720
here's the mount for the water cooler so this would go kind of here-ish huh

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:23.280
yeah there you go found our hard drive

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.040
got some got some data if you sent that to drive

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.800
savers they'd pull the data off it i bet if i sent it to drive savers they'd tell

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.320
me to go f myself no those platters are dead they're dead jim okay i'm gonna

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:38.720
install the hard drive in the front bay there yeah oh hold on i gotta

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.360
look the graphics card's one of the most important parts of the gaming computer

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:46.639
CPU you need a support brace for it i got a little bent and shipping up there

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:51.759
yeah okay mint

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:57.120
basically good as new of course even now this could be any random burned computer

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.919
in fact spencer here could have just gone to a you know pawn shop got in a

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:05.520
computer and put it inside a dumpster fire so what we need to see is if this

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.880
is in fact the same computer so let's have a look

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:16.479
here this is the original post on reddit oh yeah there's our HDMI cable

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:20.880
okay there's our here's our i o plate that does in fact appear to be the same

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.120
i o plate oh wow looks like the graphics card disintegrated a little bit more on

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:30.240
the way over here but so far this checks out the goal here wasn't to go all

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:35.280
completely balls to the wall crazy it was to build something reasonable and

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:40.720
comparable to what spencer lost in the blaze you know a sort of pcmr

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:45.600
insurance so we've gone with an ASUS prime b450 plus motherboard and a

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:51.360
perfect one-to-one replacement of spencer's old CPU a 3600 x now what

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:55.759
happened to our uh 3600x from the shipment colin did you catch where that

00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.160
oh where did i put it back uh yeah oh do you install it in the socket yeah oh

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:05.039
that's wonderful oh beautiful okay we've got small improvement we're gonna

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.880
go from this to this oh getting dust all over my motherboard i guess i need a

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.600
m.2 so for drive we went with a 970 evo plus

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.400
this is a two terabyte drive wow did spencer have a two terabyte drive sure

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:20.319
did spencer you baller

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:23.520
now you got a new two terabyte track let's go ahead and get that bad boy

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:29.520
installed now it's time for cooling now we could

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.000
have gone with a regular nhu 12 but

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:36.400
come on the LTT pc we got to do the LTT edition man i'm

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:40.400
excited i'd love to see the look on spencer's face but but thanks to a

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:44.319
little problem in the world called covid i won't get to

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:48.800
fortunately we've actually arranged for one of our youtuber

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.680
colleagues i guess he called calling whatever compatriots

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.639
craft computing to drop off the pc as it

00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:00.880
turns out he lives like just up the road from spencer and had actually reached

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:05.520
out first to offer to build a computer but then he was like yo spencer take the

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.840
LTT computer and i'll tell you what i'll make sure it's any good before i

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:13.120
pass it along to you and i was like hey you know that's great last thing we want

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:16.880
to do is accidentally ship spencer a lemon because it got you know busted in

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.080
the mail or whatever poor spencer then he wouldn't have his old busted computer

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.080
and he'd have a new business computer that sucks that's funny i didn't even

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:29.280
recognize Noctua's mounting system without a knock to a cooler on it should

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:33.199
we reuse his original mounting hardware i think it might still be good

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:37.120
just to have one little piece of his old computer in there you know what let's do

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:40.479
it let's use the let's use the fire treated brackets i think this is the

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:45.199
right move and you know what it actually even kind of matches the

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:49.680
color scheme of this board like with these gray uh these gray

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:54.479
accents that it has on it we've got some patriot viper what is this 3200

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:59.120
megahertz cl 16. so this is a really good pairing for that 3600x that he's

00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:04.639
got in there looking good unfortunately for spencer

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:08.319
we didn't have exactly the same case kicking around so

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:13.280
we grabbed this tempered glass side panel one from Gigabyte it's

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:16.800
fine everything's going smoothly so far this is kind of a cheaper case and just

00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:20.639
uses like punch out pci covers so we went and grabbed some

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.759
that we had lying around all matching ones we'll throw those in

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:29.039
so the case comes together a little nicer we're also going to grab some extra fans just a pair of 140

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:32.320
millimeters for the front here there's not a ton of room for intake but with

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.440
those drawing air across the motherboard and graphics card not too worried about

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:41.200
it and we can go ahead and pop our motherboard in now sweet

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:45.040
for power supply we went with an rm 650x it's not quite the exact same model that

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:50.399
spencer had before but it's pretty darn comparable 80 plus gold

00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:54.160
modular interface apologies in advanced craft computing this is not going to be

00:08:52.080 --> 00:09:00.560
the most amazing cable management ever we got ourselves an aorus rtx 2070 super

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:05.360
oh wait no we didn't 2080 super hey

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.959
got a nice little upgrade for spencer there we would have loved to do 3000

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:12.560
series but the reality of it is we have as much difficulty getting them

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:16.240
right now as anyone so the ones that we have we need for benchmarking sorry

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:21.680
spencer you're just getting a small upgrade we just needed a BIOS update for

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.480
support for third gen ryzen and now we

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:28.399
are wait what all right i hit the butt

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:32.320
now spencer didn't have a 4k monitor and the one we're replacing it with isn't 4k

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.839
either but i figured hey we want to make sure we're stress testing this thing

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:40.080
before it gets to him so he's going to be getting that lg ultra gear monitor

00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:43.959
but we're actually running at 4k ultra nightmare and do maternal sitting at a

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:49.680
casual 250 to 300 frames per second i think

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:55.360
it's pretty fair to say the machine is working fine just fine and is ready to

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:59.040
make its way down to our neighbors in the south

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:02.320
very reasonable noise levels and actually considering how quickly i put

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:08.000
this together i think pretty decent cable management

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:09.839
adequate yeah all right thanks david

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:14.000
that's what i was going for yeah so this is not the best deal i've ever made

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:17.440
trading one of these for one of these but i think it worked out all right for

00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:21.760
spencer and if you guys want to see the look on his face when he gets his new

00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:24.480
gaming rig go check out craft computing we're going to have them linked in the

know sure go check out rog rig reboot we'll throw one of the episodes in there

00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:30.440
where i build a pc actually with the intended recipient i would love to bring

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.440
spencer up here but like covered
