WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:10.040
of course now I get a phone call I go live one moment prior line is

00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:14.599
speaking hey it's our internet service provider I'm actually streaming right

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:20.670
now what can I do for you yeah now's not great I will give you a shout back that

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:27.729
is what I will do all right thanks

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.640
man the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:38.160
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.520
out the link in the video description to learn more look at that an internet service

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:47.840
provider that actually calls you to discuss you know some idea that you had

00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:52.800
pretty cool stuff right they're good guys but that is not the subject of

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:57.600
today's stream no my friends today's stream is all about the seven Gamers one

00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:05.560
CPU machine or more accurately the death of

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.320
the seven Gamers one CPU machine because

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:15.880
that is what we will be doing today we will be disassembling it we will be

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.680
tearing it limb from limb live for you

00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:23.520
or on the uh video on demand for you holy crap I forgot how heavy this thing

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:29.320
was so I actually never really showed anything to do with the process of

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:30.880
building it if I recall correctly I

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:35.520
ended up just just like kind of building it during a WAN Show when when Luke was

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:40.560
hosting by himself so now I'm going to go ahead and take it

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:45.960
apart so yeah without further Ado I've got all my tools with me so I've got one

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.280
iix hit kit two iix hit

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:51.719
kits oh right it's an aluminum case there well I've got a magnetic Parts

00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:58.759
tray for the magnetic parts that are inside it got my laptop so I can monitor

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.759
the twitch chat here and I have a lot of

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.000
water when I did the ultra wide Festival

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:09.959
winners like live build thing that I did I made the mistake of streaming for

00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:16.440
almost 2 hours or however long it was with no freaking water huge huge problem

00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:21.280
you guys would be amazed how much moisture you can expel just by talking

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:25.879
so I've never actually done a review of this case this is the case oh I've got a

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.760
lot of people asking me a lot of people asking me um guys are the reason I'm

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:35.760
taking it apart is because I take apart pretty much all

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:41.920
of the computers that we build there's almost nothing that we actually get to

00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.159
keep forever I mean it's um and and even

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:49.000
if we even if we were able to hold on to the hardware I mean this

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:56.440
is just about the world's least practical computer in every possible way

00:02:52.519 --> 00:02:59.440
like when you're flying that close to

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:02.519
the Sun it is pretty easy to get burned

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:07.280
so um it's you know compatibility with

00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:10.920
USB devices when it posts isn't great um

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.680
just general behavior is not great it

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:18.560
kicks off a ton of heat it consumes a metric whack ton of power like there's a

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:24.280
lot of reasons I can think of to take apart this computer so that that my

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.959
friends would be why but I do have big

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.799
plans for a lot of the hardware that is still in here I'm just going to pull up

00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:34.519
my USB drive so these USB drives here are actually what runs un raid the SSD

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:38.439
array in the bottom which I can probably get you guys a better angle at here so

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:44.519
this SSD array here in the bottom was only running the 7 VM so I had uh 8

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:49.840
terabytes so about actually only about 500 gigs per VM because I was running

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.239
with a redundant uh storage setup I've actually this is cool so I've actually

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.040
got another camera angle for you guys today uh compared to the last one of

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:03.720
these streams I did I'm kind of trying this out as a new format um wow that is

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:05.319
not focusing at all come on Mr webcam

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:10.760
you can do it there you go so I can really get you guys uh a better look at

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:15.040
uh at what I'm doing in certain cases I don't know if we ever actually showed

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.639
super close up how to remove those cards so that's one thing that I'm going to

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:21.600
I'm going to try and show you guys with this camera angle if I if I can but yeah

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.840
in general this is uh this is a new format I'm trying out where I just kind

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.400
of do things live because the reality of it is I'm working on this stuff anyway

00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:35.199
so y'all might as well come along for the ride if you're into that sort of

00:04:32.919 --> 00:04:38.759
thing I mean people watch each other play video games on Twitch they might as

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:44.280
well watch each other build computers it's not that different is it okay so

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.840
the way the cas laabs S8 comes comes apart actually I I kind of wish I had

00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:54.199
done a review or something of the case before I I went ahead and did seven

00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:57.360
Gamers cuz it's it's pretty nice I quite

00:04:54.199 --> 00:05:00.120
like it like there's some sort of like

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:05.479
you know it doesn't have the same you know Beauty I guess as something like a

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:10.560
Le and Lee but it definitely has like this industrial Beauty to it that I

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:18.440
personally uh can can quite appreciate and I have

00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:20.800
realized that um I uh made a mistake and

00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:29.880
I am planning to disassemble a water cooled computer and I did not bring a

00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:33.919
bucket so I will do that and I will be

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:35.840
right back I I am pretty sure that my

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:42.280
audio device is going to is going to work for as far as I need to go so I'll

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:48.360
excuse me I will I will try and keep you guys company but uh no guarantees on

00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:50.759
that one I just need to find a

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:55.919
bucket I am talking to the stream not to myself people around here

00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:02.319
they're looking at me like I'm crazy that Brandon guy who are you talking to

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:06.160
maybe to my imaginary friend are you going to judge me I could hear him

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.280
judging I could hear him judging right in his

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:15.960
voice either that or I'm just reading too much into it and uh and lashing out

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:22.720
I mean maybe this stream is a good time to discuss my personality

00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:26.960
flaws or maybe I have the bucket I

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:30.160
need and I am ready to continue working

00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:33.680
on the computer

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:38.800
yes that is indeed what's going

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:41.479
on I'm back so uh apparently oh everyone

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:46.960
in twitch chat is judging me now too they're saying I'm a terrible person for

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:51.160
uh for for hating on Brandon I I don't hate on Brandon I love Brandon that's

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.400
why that's why I control Brandon like that me and Brandon we're like

00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:02.120
besties okay oh wow

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:07.800
man this thing's heavy so we're going to start by draining the water and this is

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:11.680
something that there's no real one way

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:13.440
to do I mean sure professional Builders

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:19.520
will say stuff like well you should really have like a a drain point in your

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:23.960
Loop or something or something but the way that I actually usually do it I'm

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:32.639
just going to go ahead and I'm going to prop up wow I don't have an easy a

00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:32.639
really easy access access to the

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.240
um to any of the tubing here this is uh

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:43.240
this one right here is kind of a funny story actually why don't I why don't I

00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:49.319
talk about that before we go any further so the here we go let's switch angles

00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:51.759
here so the original spec for the system

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:56.360
called for the one pump here with the reservoir attached to it and I had

00:07:54.280 --> 00:07:59.919
originally thought that EK was going to provide me with

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:09.680
oh no there it is sorry sorry sorry so eekk

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:14.319
was going to provide me with a block for the seven cards that was parallel so so

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:17.599
that is to say that the the restrictiveness of it would be very low

00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.120
but it's actually serial so it goes through one block then the next then the next then the next then the next then

00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:25.840
the next um so I actually ended up having to add another pump at the last

00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:32.200
minute an adventure that ended up causing

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:36.200
uh uh Taran and I to spill uh a bunch of

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:39.479
water onto the system it was incredibly

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:42.560
incredibly scary um so I think I'm going

00:08:39.479 --> 00:08:45.080
to use that point as my access point

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.320
here so like I said most professional you know water cooled machine Builders

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:53.320
will tell you oh well you should have like a drain port and you should do all this stuff and you should that is indeed

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:58.480
the correct way to do it but what I usually do is not bother with that and

00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:04.600
then I'll just rip off a piece of tubing somewhere that I'm you know at least 90%

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:08.320
certain it will not uh leak onto anything else so first let's get some of

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:11.720
our cable management ties out of here and then that looks like a pretty uh

00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:18.160
pretty good candidate right there so I'm going to do my best to get

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:21.240
you guys a reasonable angle at what that

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:23.519
I'm what I'm doing here

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:29.839
um and okay here we

00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:32.160
go wow this is not gonna be this is not

00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:36.600
going to be an easy thing though so basically I'm going to take my bucket

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:43.200
I'm going to put it right here and then I'm going to crack open one of these

00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:44.480
fittings and start draining it and

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:49.160
you're going to see a lot of things that are not necessarily the industry

00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:53.760
accepted best practices on this stream but

00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:56.920
frankly a lot of the stuff that I do isn't industry best practices and I

00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:01.800
think I like to think that's one of the things we like about me

00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:06.240
shut up Brandon yeah the audio is great on the

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:12.560
uh on the interface yeah it sounds really good I just had to play around

00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:13.920
with the um delays I still want to know

00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:21.640
why the audio wasn't working to begin with too yeah funny funny story guys um I

00:10:19.160 --> 00:10:27.640
probably have about 40 like test recording Clips here um of trying to get

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.640
this stream working

00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:48.279
uh yeah so we finally got it working anyway that is the quick and dirty and

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.000
the empasis is on dirty way to get most

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:55.560
of the water out of a water cooling Loop so you can begin to disassemble it now I

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:57.440
don't think that I actually got anywhere

00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:02.360
anything even resembling all of it so let me just find out where my uh

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:06.800
trying to remember which way things were going around let's go the other way see if I

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.639
can get some more out of those radiators cuz that is not enough

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:24.320
water oh man I don't know if I have the

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:27.760
lung capacity for 2360 RADS and seven GPU blocks

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:42.000
okay I mean that's the thing about doing something like this on stream right is

00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:42.000
if I pass out you guys will call someone

00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:51.480
right okay let's just call that good enough now when I say quick and dirty I

00:11:48.959 --> 00:11:56.720
really do mean dirty um I'm not planning to reuse really any of these components

00:11:54.040 --> 00:12:00.120
in any sort of reasonable time frame so they will have plenty of time for any

00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:04.680
microbes that I just blew into them to die

00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:04.680
um

00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:10.839
yeah so now we can actually start

00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:17.079
disconnecting many of the other components we're going to get a little bit of water on stuff but like I don't

00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:20.480
know people freak out about electronics and water and my goodness but the

00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:24.160
reality of it is the machine's not even booted up right now it's not powered on

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:30.839
there's literally no power to anything anywhere um so the actual chances of

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:34.720
damaging it with water are are very very

00:12:30.839 --> 00:12:37.320
slim I mean I have washed motherboards

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:41.440
like literally soap and water washed motherboards long story what it had on

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:47.440
it that needed to be washed off but I have done that and then allowed it to

00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:49.399
dry for like two weeks in a hot place

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:53.920
with air flow and with any you know applicable heat sinks or or nooks and

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:59.639
crannies exposed so that you can really dry everything out and um I have yet to

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:03.600
have something that was off that got just water now to be clear I'm talking

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.160
fresh water here I'm not talking salt water I'm not talking contaminated water

00:13:05.839 --> 00:13:11.760
but anything that's just gotten like fresh clean water on it I've yet to have

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:17.480
anything that had any lasting effects all right so bump number one is

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:19.680
out um and we can maybe we'll pull out

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:24.000
pump number two now this one was not quite as simple to get at I'm going to

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:29.920
switch to my overhead view here to try and show you guys what I'm doing

00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:31.720
now all right Boop there we go

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:36.360
so pump number two I got to remove these front panel pieces I do like how much of

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:42.800
this case is actually tooless um for such a sort of industrial

00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:42.800
feeling

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:49.279
design just take out these and it's really really modular as well which is

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:52.000
which is really cool they're really really good guys over there at Cas laabs

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:57.399
we've literally never worked with them before this but uh they were like way on

00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:00.519
board to uh to help us out with this project they even custom painted the

00:13:59.199 --> 00:14:06.519
side of the chassis forest and stuff like that which was which was really really cool of them I mean obviously you

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:11.000
know they get something out of it you know they get the exposure in the video

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:15.600
but um still you know not everyone not everyone wants to work with you so so

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:22.560
it's nice when people do oh that's interesting okay I think I

00:14:18.920 --> 00:14:23.639
might have might have forgotten how this

00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:31.040
goes together um and there may not be an easy

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:36.000
what how did this work what what the

00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:39.320
crap does this one pop off the other

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.320
thing what

00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:47.399
the HM okay I have forgotten how this

00:14:43.880 --> 00:14:51.000
goes together so I am going to go

00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:52.720
somewhere else for now let's get the

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:57.959
let's get the radiators out cuz those things are really in my

00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:01.240
way I think I have a screwdriver for that in here

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.839
hex hex hex hex hex no this oh this doesn't have

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:11.519
hexes that's funny I thought it did that's okay this one

00:15:14.839 --> 00:15:17.839
does

00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:23.880
okay wow I am really warm I am going to

00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:30.839
have to start stripping pretty quick here I know twitch frowns on it but uh

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:34.720
they might just have to deal cuz I legitimately way too warm right

00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:40.959
now I mean here's something are you allowed to like are you allowed to like

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:45.480
take clothes off seductively if you actually don't show any skin like where

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.480
is the

00:15:48.920 --> 00:15:51.920
limit

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:59.800
okay oh 3,000 people watching me take apart a computer imagine if I was

00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:03.319
actually like building one well no I don't have to imagine that we

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:10.759
actually did do a stream about that before but um okay all right this is

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:15.360
probably the most tedious thing about my

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:17.399
job is disassembling the computers that

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:24.680
I spent all this time building um like there's

00:16:21.199 --> 00:16:26.399
nothing rewarding feeling about it it's

00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:32.079
nice that you guys are here to keep me company um cuz I usually just do this by

00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:35.639
myself but uh yeah pretty much every machine that we've ever built like the

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:39.759
number of people who asked me uh you know why I thought my threeyear old

00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:45.959
needed a you know $3,000 gaming machine of course not I'm just making videos I'm

00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:48.199
just making videos on the internet

00:16:45.959 --> 00:16:52.639
um so yeah pretty much every machine that you've ever seen has been

00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:56.880
disassembled shortly after we built it with a couple of exceptions so personal

00:16:54.360 --> 00:17:03.360
rigs um they're called personal rig update because that's my personal rig

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:08.000
um the oil machine has not yet been disassembled and I never intended to

00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:14.600
disassemble it but I'm going to have to now because it's um it's damaged leaks

00:17:12.360 --> 00:17:21.439
which is a super bummer okay so this RADS out we're going

00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:24.799
to go ahead and retrieve the old bucket

00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:27.480
here and pop off a couple of fittings

00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:32.799
sorry I'm having a hard time keeping keeping your guys's angle very good you

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:35.760
know what okay hopefully I don't break all of Brandon's hard

00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:40.320
work

00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:47.720
okay oh my goodness this thing is so

00:17:44.679 --> 00:17:49.240
heavy okay let's see if that's a little

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:55.480
better yeah now you guys can actually see what I'm doing cuz I might be over here on the edge of the table sometimes

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:59.360
especially if I have this this bucket here oh I've got people asking where the

00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:05.320
oil machine is leaking it's actually leaking in exactly the same spot as last

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:10.000
time down the back seam um and I tried to repair it I did like a vlog video

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:15.480
where I where I actually showed the you know as far as I can tell correct repair

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:20.440
process but it didn't hold and unfortunately due to a patent troll

00:18:18.280 --> 00:18:25.360
everybody's favorite people Puget is not allowed to manufacture those cases

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:29.559
anymore so I can't even get a new case to transplant it into so the entire

00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:32.400
thing is just just dead now

00:18:32.919 --> 00:18:42.039
unfortunately yeah uh yeah this video is going to be on YouTube as well um for

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:43.600
whoever that is that asked it um yeah

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.200
the Berkeley is talking about the iix hit kit yeah man you know what's funny I

00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:50.400
actually you uh you mentioned using our our um our sponsor link for it I don't

00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:55.000
think they've actually sponsored anything with us in a in a while it's so

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.840
funny like I have people you know chasing me about sponsored this and

00:18:57.520 --> 00:19:03.760
sponsored that all the time like I did um I finally got around to fixing the

00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:08.159
home button on my iPhone 4 which has been dead for like I don't know it's

00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:13.960
been sort of going slowly for well over a year anyway and um my my picture like

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:19.000
the Instagram picture that I posted when I was working on it had an iix IT kit in

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:26.039
it and people are like that product placement D and it's

00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:28.720
like no I'm doing a phone repair what

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:33.080
else am I supposed to use if I have an i fix it kit I'm going to use it

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:40.280
like okay let's get this other uh let's

00:19:37.280 --> 00:19:40.280
get this other rad out of

00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:52.799
here it'll be nice to salvage these LT Edition fans back I've actually got

00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:58.880
another really cool project planned for them very very soon like a full Linus

00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:01.400
Tech tips Edition build and I know this

00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:04.799
ended up kind of being that with the uh the black and orange color scheme but

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:11.840
the other one's going to be a much more realistic machine um one that I would

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:14.919
actually expect people to be able to buy

00:20:11.840 --> 00:20:16.360
um so it's going to be off the-shelf

00:20:14.919 --> 00:20:22.960
black and orange components with one exception I am planning to paint a

00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:24.880
reference NVIDIA cooler so that one

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:30.600
should be pretty cool I considered just using something from someone like I

00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:33.520
believe both Gigabyte and Zotac have

00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:38.000
black and orange themed cards but I mean I wanted to spice up the build a little

00:20:35.120 --> 00:20:40.559
bit so I'm actually I've got some of it's ordered already some of it I still

00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:45.799
need to order but I've got some Automotive grade paint like the same kind of stuff that we used in that LG

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:50.760
monitor painting guide and I'm going to be showing you guys how to paint

00:20:48.520 --> 00:20:55.039
disassemble paint and then reassemble your NVIDIA reference cooler should be

00:20:53.640 --> 00:21:00.640
good should be good I'm really looking forward to it okay so this radiator I'm

00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.480
actually not as worried about leakage

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:06.400
with uh just because the barbs are on the top side but we still might get a

00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:10.799
couple drips so I'm going to try and get my my water bucket pretty close to it um

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:16.120
you'll notice that what I'm doing is I am removing fittings or I I'm removing

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:22.600
the fittings and I am um taking the tubing off of components that are very

00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:26.799
unlikely to be damaged by water like a radiator so here I'll actually I'll get

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:31.360
you guys my uh my other camera angle here sorry I apologize to people who get

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:36.559
motion sick for for that so what I'll do is I'll leave this tube attached to the

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:41.679
video card because if I were to take this fitting off then what would happen

00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:46.679
potentially is any little drips here would go right onto the motherboard

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:49.000
whereas if I leave the tube here then at

00:21:46.679 --> 00:21:53.080
least I can kind of tie it up somewhere like up on this piece of metal or

00:21:50.919 --> 00:21:57.400
something so I can keep it from dripping and then if anything drips off of this

00:21:54.799 --> 00:22:01.679
radiator well no big deal because it's just going to fall down into to my

00:21:59.080 --> 00:22:05.200
bucket and I apologize for the frame rate on that camera too I don't know

00:22:03.159 --> 00:22:08.760
what the deal is with that maybe I can fix it sorry give me just uh give me

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:13.240
just one second here guys I'm just going to switch to it and see if maybe it's

00:22:10.600 --> 00:22:20.320
set to like 15 FPS or something like that I don't know what the deal is uh no

00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:22.200
okay motion jpeg 30fps I don't know yeah

00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:25.640
it's it's running super trash though I don't know what the problem is normally

00:22:24.159 --> 00:22:32.159
those webcams are really good we use them all the time but I'm I'm Linus

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:37.279
I can break a live stream I can break tall live streams with a single bound

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:42.080
Etc I don't know what it is I'm like snake bitten like Luke doesn't even get

00:22:39.320 --> 00:22:45.600
it cuz he streams all the time like all the time from home and he's just like

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:50.159
yep I know how to use this software you're definitely using it right uh we

00:22:47.760 --> 00:22:53.919
have better Hardware at the office also the same hardware and we sometimes we

00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:58.159
end up like going through the whole everything and it just uh doesn't

00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:02.520
work sorry I'm not crying I'm just I'm a Feeling a little under the weather right

00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:06.880
now feeling a little sick so I was commenting to Luke today I don't

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:11.360
remember the last time I actually had a a sick day that I was able to take off

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:16.159
being self-employed there are good things about it for sure like I love my

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:22.640
job I am not complaining that it is my job to hang out with you guys and take

00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:25.080
apart this computer right now but uh the

00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:30.000
the vacation the vacation negotiation uh between my union rep and

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:37.480
my employer did not go particularly well tell you that much all right

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:41.080
so Pro tip keep all your fittings

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:43.039
together so if you've got like uh hold

00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:47.120
Downs for compression fittings put those on the barbs as you go because otherwise

00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:50.279
you're going to be running around after the fact trying to figure out what the

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:56.919
heck what the heck happened to everything all right so

00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:58.799
now we've got most of the really bulky

00:23:56.919 --> 00:24:04.960
water cooling stuff removed from the system so we can start to focus in on

00:24:02.760 --> 00:24:09.159
removing some of the some of the blocks I really like getting all the water

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:15.120
stuff out before I do really anything else because

00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:18.960
um it kind of holds everything in it's the piece that went in last so I find

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:21.320
it's the piece that's easiest to take out

00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:30.640
first I got someone suggesting I buy a lonus clone to do the extra

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:34.039
work got people asking about Union no no

00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:37.919
lineus Media Group is uh definitely not

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:40.200
uh not Union we uh I I don't even I

00:24:37.919 --> 00:24:46.360
don't even begin to know what the process would be um or yeah anything

00:24:44.840 --> 00:24:52.200
like that okay got an extra tube here don't

00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:56.240
need that anymore actually you know what I'll just put those in my water bucket

00:24:54.600 --> 00:25:00.640
believe it or not it's very difficult to damage a piece of tubing with water so

00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:04.880
you you can kind of throw all your water water junk into the into the water

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:09.840
bucket try and contain it last thing you want is a bunch of

00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:13.200
water kind of all over the place when you're trying to take out the rest of

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:18.039
the components because like I said um you know clean water generally not

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:20.120
really a problem but bearing in mind

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:23.320
that the water in a system like this and this one hasn't been running very long

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:27.520
so it's less of a concern but the water in a system like this can pick up

00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:32.159
contaminants from things like the copper blocks so you can end up up with copper

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:34.600
ions in your Loop and um and and it can

00:25:32.159 --> 00:25:38.720
end up being a problem and copper ions aren't the only ones actually this is

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:44.520
really good water cooler trick that most novices don't know these days but um

00:25:42.399 --> 00:25:50.000
putting a piece of silver in your Loop I've actually run um silver silverplated

00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:53.360
fittings before it worked just great putting a piece of silver in your Loop

00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:58.919
acts as a natural bioside so you don't have to deal with uh any funky business

00:25:56.600 --> 00:26:02.240
growing in your water Without Really adding anything I've had a lot of people

00:26:00.520 --> 00:26:06.159
ask me over the years uh what's the best fluid for water cooling and I say well

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:10.880
it's right in the name water water is the best thing for

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:16.720
water cooling a lot of show builds are going to use you know fancy fluids that

00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:20.960
have like these milky cloudy effects and like do all this crazy stuff uh but the

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:25.360
reality of it is you ask even those professional modders who use that stuff

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:29.600
um in the show builds that they do they're all going to tell you exactly

00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:36.640
the same thing if you are building like a 247 like a daily driver machine you

00:26:33.399 --> 00:26:38.679
water cool with water if you want to not

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:44.279
have to deal with any hassle down the road I really like this uh Reservoir and

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:52.279
pump combo the DK sent over for this build it's actually aside from the seven

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:54.799
GPU block um like uh splitter thing is

00:26:52.279 --> 00:27:02.600
probably my favorite piece of it because so many pump reservoir combos use the DD

00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:05.840
d c and I am not sold on the DDC I have

00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:07.840
had almost every DDC that I've ever used

00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:12.760
for an extended period of time has failed whereas the D5 in my personal rig

00:27:10.520 --> 00:27:16.520
was manufactured in like 2008 or something stupid like that I've never

00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:21.080
had a D5 fail on me I mean I worked at a retailer I've seen the failure rates um

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:24.360
the D5 is definitely the more reliable and the thing that really bothers me

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:30.679
more about the DDC is everyone talks about how quiet it is it is not quiet it

00:27:27.679 --> 00:27:34.399
has a very distinctive wine especially

00:27:30.679 --> 00:27:37.159
compared to a D5 at very low RPM so uh

00:27:34.399 --> 00:27:41.480
very few guys make Reservoir pump combo units with the D5 but EK did and I'm uh

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:47.360
very happy that they did I really like this one sorry guys I apologize for my

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:52.039
sniffles I know no one wants to hear that but uh I mean hey you're here so

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:57.240
maybe you are into that I don't know all right so I'm going to put that over

00:27:54.320 --> 00:28:01.880
there actually I'm going to put these RADS over here as well we actually just

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:06.880
got a new guy today who is supposed to help with stuff like tearing down

00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:13.159
machines but um I didn't want his first assignment to be taking apart a

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:14.679
literally $30,000 computer well okay

00:28:13.159 --> 00:28:19.840
okay okay strictly speaking the tower is only about 20 $21,000 but um so I was

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:25.600
including the monitors in that overall in that overall cost of the system but

00:28:23.159 --> 00:28:28.640
um I mean even so does that really make a difference I didn't want his first

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:31.960
assignment to be a 20,000 computer either so I figured I'd do this

00:28:30.320 --> 00:28:35.320
one and I kind of like the idea of streaming it I wanted to see if you guys

00:28:33.600 --> 00:28:39.039
like this you can give me some feedback in the twitch chat if you think the the

00:28:37.320 --> 00:28:45.080
format is good I mean we're always trying new things but it's it gets hard

00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:51.880
like you know try and wrap your brain around this for a moment but I have done

00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:51.880
something in the neighborhood of

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:59.039
3500 YouTube videos like it's

00:28:55.399 --> 00:29:00.640
ridiculous and the object is to come up

00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:05.000
with something different and unique every time and so you know if you're not

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:10.480
trying to experiment with new formats all the time then you're can totally

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.480
fail

00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:18.679
um oh what what the heck that's

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:20.360
weird uh okay looks like we need a new

00:29:18.679 --> 00:29:26.480
battery on the other camera I will uh call in air support and hopefully we will get that

00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:30.799
resolved very very quickly actually my setup is uh my setup is pretty good

00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:37.600
today I actually have the stream monitored over there and uh I have my

00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:40.240
lifeline Brandon who will come you know

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:43.679
what I I hear someone coming already I suspect someone else in the office has

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:49.519
already clued into this and is on their way up here with a battery look it's

00:29:46.919 --> 00:29:54.519
Blandon oh I was about to call you yeah can I get a battery for that one I need

00:29:51.679 --> 00:29:58.080
something El oh you need my stuff ah I see okay don't bump that AVX by the way

00:29:56.760 --> 00:30:04.880
I figured out why it was turning off I I think the battery connection is loose yeah so when you were like moving

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:06.799
it around in the socket it derped I

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:10.559
wasn't moving around yeah you did you you flipped it from the orientation I

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:15.919
had to Vertical so that was why it cut out I think we're always learning new things

00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:21.080
about how our equipment is broken audio is the worst like we have so many

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:28.200
lavalier microphones all of which are like you know $200 $300 or

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:28.200
whatever um

00:30:28.600 --> 00:30:34.240
and yeah like many many many of them

00:30:32.159 --> 00:30:39.200
have died I think we do go kind of hard on our on our equipment

00:30:36.679 --> 00:30:43.880
though yeah hashtag blame Dennis I like that thank you twitch chat I forgot to

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.880
blame Dennis for

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:51.200
this okay tubing in there thank you I

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:57.360
appreciate it you can't tell from which one that

00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:59.159
one what it said half battery it's what

00:30:57.360 --> 00:31:05.279
it says half battery battery half battery oh well the the stream cut out I

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:10.720
don't know that's weird oh I wonder if it was the capture card that

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.519
derped that seems possible okay yeah it

00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:18.440
has half crying out loud okay well thanks

00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:21.440
Brandon thanks anyway oh well it's back

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:24.120
so whatever he did let's say fixed it

00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.120
good good job

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:32.039
Brandon I don't know man I'm so glad that most of what we do isn't live like

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:37.559
I don't envy the full-time twitch streamers I mean I I I like I get it

00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:41.480
like I I hear all the sort of you know people who have to work at a real job

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:46.720
sort of arguments like they get paid to play video games I I I get that um but

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:53.080
the reality of it is is that like being on all the time being live like that is

00:31:49.840 --> 00:31:55.399
actually really mentally fatiguing and I

00:31:53.080 --> 00:31:59.639
mean the kinds the kind of stuff that those guys have to go through whether

00:31:57.080 --> 00:32:03.559
it's you you know their network connections being attacked or whether

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:08.039
it's like I mean all the kind of stupid stuff that happens you know twitch chat

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:12.799
being mean or you know wardrobe malfunctions or you know whatever kind

00:32:09.919 --> 00:32:17.480
of kind of problems they have um especially technical difficulties man

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:23.159
when you are live and you have technical difficulties it is horrible whereas

00:32:20.159 --> 00:32:25.039
everything we do is is edited so if

00:32:23.159 --> 00:32:28.799
there's a problem like we get a chance to fix it if there's like a hitch in the

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:33.039
audio then you know whatever we can like we

00:32:31.360 --> 00:32:38.519
get a chance to fix it and post whereas when you're live like everything you do

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:43.159
or say is like right out there it's like crazy all right so I do want to show you

00:32:40.679 --> 00:32:47.039
guys this um I did I did promise that this would be part of the video I'm

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:51.600
going to try and maybe I'll like prop this camera up on something right here

00:32:49.919 --> 00:32:56.159
or something I don't I don't really know exactly how I'm going to tackle this but

00:32:53.360 --> 00:33:02.240
uh so the process for removing these graphics cards is redon so basically I

00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:05.799
have to go I have to pull the tab of the

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:09.120
very bottom one first then while I'm

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:12.519
lifting the entire block of cards I have

00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:14.840
to pull the tab on the second one then

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:18.600
kind of keeping the angle up I have to pull the tab on the third one then the

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:22.559
fourth one actually you can tell they're all kind of loose right now um I was

00:33:21.080 --> 00:33:26.600
messing around with it a little bit to get the um seven people actually gaming

00:33:24.639 --> 00:33:31.840
on it as well as the overclocking video that's coming done but um yeah actually

00:33:30.639 --> 00:33:35.960
it looks like it's G to be relatively easy right now here but you kind of have

00:33:33.679 --> 00:33:42.039
to pull it up here and then I have to pry it up from the other side so I got

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:44.440
to kind of pry it up this way then when

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:48.039
that's loose see you can see all the tabs tightened again I've got to pull on

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:54.399
all the tabs again and then finally I can remove the

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:58.120
bloody thing I mean this was

00:33:54.399 --> 00:34:00.279
not not the kind of build that I would

00:33:58.120 --> 00:34:03.760
that I would recommend that anyone do I mean and there are other issues too like

00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:09.720
one of the big ones that we had to contend with throughout this is that

00:34:05.320 --> 00:34:12.480
AMD's uh support for VMS in this way is

00:34:09.720 --> 00:34:16.919
very very poor uh they took a bit of a shortcut or they claim they didn't but

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:22.560
it appears that they took a bit of a shortcut on the uh Fiji architecture

00:34:20.200 --> 00:34:31.320
cards that makes it so that when you soft power down a virtual

00:34:26.720 --> 00:34:33.119
machine the card doesn't properly reboot

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:37.839
like it doesn't properly reset oh okay there it

00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:45.839
goes oh boy here show this to you guys there you

00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:47.800
go oh so there it is the card block the

00:34:45.839 --> 00:34:54.520
block of cards the card brick so

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:59.320
bad there you go it's like and it weighs

00:34:54.520 --> 00:35:00.680
so much like it is so freaking heavy um

00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:05.720
anyway so what happens is when you reboot a VM like a soft like a oh it's

00:35:03.560 --> 00:35:11.000
pouring water all over the place uh I guess we should do this first like a

00:35:07.200 --> 00:35:13.839
soft reset um the the car doesn't

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:18.720
actually properly reboot and so what happens is it doesn't give up its

00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:25.000
resources again so when the when the rebooted like the new the fresh soft

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:27.280
reboot tries to grab the cardigan the

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.599
resources are already in use by the previous

00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:32.920
by the previous boot I'm really not explaining this very well actually

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:39.680
normally I'm better at this see this is the kind of thing I'm talking about live streaming is difficult

00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:42.400
um but the way that NVIDIA handles it is

00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:47.280
even with a soft reset the card will release all the resources and it's all

00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:52.240
good to go there is a workaround uh the workaround and and this is like this is

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:58.400
like insanity uh so the workaround is that in the uh safely add and remove

00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:01.720
Hardware uh system tray thing what you

00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:04.119
can do is you can eject your GPU and

00:36:01.720 --> 00:36:12.280
then you can go back to unraid so you can navigate to it on the network um and

00:36:07.359 --> 00:36:13.359
then you can stop the VM that way but I

00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:20.720
mean the issue is that when you're trying to troubleshoot something the odds of being able

00:36:17.040 --> 00:36:23.480
to properly eject something and then

00:36:20.720 --> 00:36:28.280
shut down the machine is very slim so what would happen and this was just

00:36:26.200 --> 00:36:32.280
infuriating what would happen is anytime I had a

00:36:30.040 --> 00:36:35.319
problem with any VM that caused it to have to be rebooted anything but

00:36:33.680 --> 00:36:40.160
perfectly gracefully and by the way that solution didn't always work um what I

00:36:38.839 --> 00:36:44.359
would have to do was I would have to shut down all the VMS then I would have

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:49.640
to reboot the machine which takes about 4 minutes because of all the hardware

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:54.960
connected to it that uh unraid had to detect then I would have to start up all

00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:58.480
the VMS again and then like you know it doesn't sound that bad but you know let

00:36:56.839 --> 00:37:02.640
me tell you when you were working on something under a time crunch you know

00:37:00.359 --> 00:37:08.000
waiting it was around a total of about an 8 to 10 minute process every time I

00:37:05.680 --> 00:37:12.359
had an issue with a VM and I had to reboot one of them it would have been

00:37:10.560 --> 00:37:17.880
made a lot simpler if I could reboot one at a time but I had to do the whole

00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:20.119
entire system and sometimes it took a

00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:23.079
lot longer than that like for example if I had to here I'll give you guys the

00:37:21.560 --> 00:37:28.480
overhead view I'm actually doing stuff right now so if I had to for example um

00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:32.200
open up a bunch of benchmarks so that I could run all the benchmarks at the same

00:37:30.319 --> 00:37:37.560
time or let's say I was in the middle of running a benchmark like fire strike for

00:37:34.040 --> 00:37:40.000
example and one of the VMS um you know

00:37:37.560 --> 00:37:46.760
crashes or does something so now I have to go back shut down everything reboot

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:52.720
everything wait around for that then I have to fire up all the VMS after I've

00:37:49.040 --> 00:37:56.200
like diagnosed what's going wrong then

00:37:52.720 --> 00:37:58.640
then lucky me I get to fire up all of

00:37:56.200 --> 00:38:02.359
those programs again one by one and then I get to start them again and then I get

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:06.160
to hope they finish this time and this system was not particularly

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:13.800
stable so it's funny I actually um my

00:38:10.520 --> 00:38:15.200
contacted unraid sorry this a USB this

00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:19.520
is so this like this is the kind of stupid stuff that I get to deal with

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:25.119
here guys check this out and it's like it's not a huge deal

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:28.000
but when you're in a hurry it's like the end of the world so you can see this

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:33.280
this USB 3 connector I was having a really hard time um

00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:39.680
getting at releasing the gpus with the USB 3 plugged in and this USB header on

00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:42.960
the board look at this it comes off the

00:38:39.680 --> 00:38:45.160
pins it sticks the the connector here

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:48.920
sticks so hard in the socket that it just pulls the housing right off the

00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:53.280
pins and that's the kind of stuff where it's

00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:56.160
like I am in a hurry right now I'm trying to make a video I do not have

00:38:55.040 --> 00:39:01.200
time for this crap and it's constant it's constant

00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:03.839
like what I don't know it's it's funny I was talking about how people talk about

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:09.680
how game streamers have an easy job people think I have an easy job too and

00:39:05.839 --> 00:39:13.119
like I said I love my job but it is and

00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:16.240
I broke it broke the housing well I do

00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:20.160
love my job but it is not necessarily as

00:39:16.240 --> 00:39:21.839
easy as a lot of people think that it is

00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:24.079
so now I'll just put the broken housing back on there I mean whatever it's not

00:39:23.160 --> 00:39:30.359
like uh it's not like I'm which one is it

00:39:28.040 --> 00:39:34.839
one it's not like I have any warranty coverage on this board

00:39:32.839 --> 00:39:39.880
anyway there we go USB 3 is actually surprisingly hard

00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:44.520
to line up when you're doing this USB 2 is really easy but the pins are so small

00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:48.560
for USB 3 and if you line it up wrong you'll end up crushing one of the pins

00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:53.400
and folding it flat onto the board which is a big problem um because then you

00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:57.480
have to bend it back and get it just perfect USB 2 is easy like I mean these

00:39:55.640 --> 00:40:02.240
things come off all the time it's not it's not a huge deal or anything it's

00:39:59.240 --> 00:40:03.280
just annoying when you're in a hurry and

00:40:02.240 --> 00:40:08.040
you have to like yank and replace a stupid header

00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:11.000
housing every time you need to do something it's

00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:18.480
ridiculous wow 4,300 viewers on uh

00:40:16.040 --> 00:40:22.720
taking apart a computer you guys always you guys always impress me like I never

00:40:20.359 --> 00:40:28.079
I never know this is a funny thing too like I I don't consume a lot of online

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:32.880
video mostly because I just really don't have time I'm too busy making it um so a

00:40:31.640 --> 00:40:37.640
lot of the time I'm just kind of taking a shot in the dark at what I think

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:41.440
people might like because cuz I'm not really making something designed for

00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:46.560
myself like I think it's it's really easy for me to do something like the um

00:40:44.160 --> 00:40:52.599
the LTT Edition knock to a fan like to come up with an

00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:55.119
idea like including a fanhub

00:40:52.599 --> 00:41:01.040
sticker inside the box and I'll like one does that and to

00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:05.560
me as an Enthusiast it's really easy to come up with an idea like that because I

00:41:02.359 --> 00:41:08.400
think well man you know there's only one

00:41:05.560 --> 00:41:13.760
way to install a fan out of four where the the rear hub sticker is correctly

00:41:11.839 --> 00:41:18.040
aligned with you know gravity so you can read whatever's on it or whatever else

00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:22.880
so why don't we just include a sticker and people can Orient it whatever way

00:41:19.520 --> 00:41:24.720
they want it's like so it's easy for me

00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:28.359
to think of something like that because I am the target audience but actually

00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:33.560
making video I love technology I mean I love I nerd

00:41:30.839 --> 00:41:39.520
out over this stuff I really really do but when it comes to you know what

00:41:36.839 --> 00:41:44.560
formats people want to experience technology with me and it's really not

00:41:42.640 --> 00:41:47.079
always that straightforward for me and I'm just kind of

00:41:48.160 --> 00:41:57.400
guessing ah and I got these Wicked sniffles I really hope that I feel

00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:59.520
better very soon because this sucks

00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:03.319
it super duper sucks the big one I feel like I've been sick for months I

00:42:01.520 --> 00:42:08.359
actually wasn't sick at CES for the first time ever but I was sick before it

00:42:05.560 --> 00:42:12.200
and I am now sick after it I'm very thankful though that I

00:42:10.359 --> 00:42:15.839
wasn't sick at CES getting sick at CES is such a bummer but I have kids now so

00:42:14.520 --> 00:42:20.559
I think that's a big part of the problem is they go to Like pre- Preschool or

00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:26.119
whatever and they come home with all the germs that their little germ friends

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:27.839
gave them and uh I'm the one who gets to

00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:30.760
be sick I mean they get sick too I guess and

00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:36.680
then I get to deal with that so I'm sick I'm dealing with a sick whiny kid and

00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:39.200
I'm sick being an adult

00:42:36.680 --> 00:42:43.640
sucks if anyone had told me that you know being an adult was like this I

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:49.640
might not have bothered waiting around for it um okay actually I know again I

00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:52.920
love my life my life is good I'm not complaining I'm just saying I hate being

00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:59.000
sick and I think we can all relate to that so this is most of the action right

00:42:56.960 --> 00:43:04.119
here here uh some people probably saw like Instagram posts or whatever else

00:43:00.839 --> 00:43:06.640
but I didn't really talk much about this

00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:12.240
motherboard and what made it special so this is a good opportunity to do it so

00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:14.559
two sockets was requirement number one I

00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:20.599
needed two sockets I also needed a motherboard that had seven PCI Express

00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:26.119
slots there are lots out there that have six okay and six is relatively easy

00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:29.760
because especially if you're doing two sockets like this you want to do and you

00:43:28.200 --> 00:43:34.440
want to do more dim slots a lot of motherboard manufacturers will put a bunch of dim slots up here and a bunch

00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:39.200
down here and you end up eating one or even two of these slots with all of

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:42.800
these PCI Express slots with all the memory dim slots that you're putting on

00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:46.480
the board and even like even putting more to these sides here you end up with

00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:50.079
kind of like a wider board sometimes or you end up with like an offset here of

00:43:48.640 --> 00:43:54.079
the memory that ends up eating up one of these slots so finding one with seven

00:43:51.680 --> 00:43:59.280
PCI Express slots real challenge this one also had a

00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:05.280
couple other things that made it very desirable so number one is that it has

00:44:03.240 --> 00:44:08.559
um an ikvm header so I've actually already purchased a module and I would

00:44:07.200 --> 00:44:12.559
go get it but it'd be kind of a waste of time um you guys are you guys are live

00:44:10.839 --> 00:44:16.280
here um so I purchased a little module that I can put on here that will allow

00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:21.359
me to control this board remotely over the network even if it's powered off I'm

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:23.040
going to do a video about um about ipmi

00:44:21.359 --> 00:44:26.680
a little bit in the future here because it's pretty cool stuff it's only really

00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:28.960
applicable to very high-end stuff but I I person def think it's neat so I'm

00:44:27.839 --> 00:44:32.920
going to make a video about it deal with it and then the other thing that it has

00:44:30.839 --> 00:44:39.640
that is way more important than people probably thought is this it has Onboard

00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:44.599
video so the Onboard video is actually closely related to that Remote

00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:49.520
Management feature because that Onboard video is what the Remote Management

00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:51.960
feature uses and is able to uh to Output

00:44:49.520 --> 00:44:56.800
to even when the system is powered down so this VGA port the Onboard video on

00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:02.280
this motherboard is what allowed me to have unraid grabbed that and allowed me

00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:07.640
to use all seven of my plugged-in graphics cards for seven discret VMS uh

00:45:06.160 --> 00:45:11.480
the other really cool thing that we got going on here I mean aside from you know

00:45:09.520 --> 00:45:15.960
CPUs forun oh yeah right no more about the motherboard first actually so uh it

00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:21.680
also has multiple usb3 controllers so what I plan to deploy this board to do

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:24.559
in the future is uh two ingest stations

00:45:21.680 --> 00:45:28.520
so people can um ingest their footage at the same time uh whereas right now the

00:45:27.160 --> 00:45:33.599
system we have is a bit of a bottleneck so I'm planning to use it for that so having two different onboard usb3

00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:38.559
controllers is good cuz I can pass through controllers to a VM which allows

00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:42.359
us to have hot plug within a virtual machine so each of our machines will

00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:46.400
effectively be using like if you slice the motherboard down the middle it will

00:45:44.240 --> 00:45:49.440
be using 128 gigs of RAM actually I'll probably swap out this RAM for something

00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:52.839
lower capacity but it'll be using half of the RAM half the CPU and then you

00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:56.599
know half of the USB controllers each one will get a GPU and then some other

00:45:54.520 --> 00:45:59.960
hardware and uh then the other thing it had again like there's still more

00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:06.720
there's a lot that makes this board pretty much the only thing I could have

00:46:03.160 --> 00:46:09.280
used it has 12 C ports so that gave me

00:46:06.720 --> 00:46:13.400
eight for my ssds and I had planned to have four 8 tbte hard drives for mass

00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:16.400
storage for the VMS but that didn't end up working out because the case didn't

00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:20.880
have anywhere to mount them uh because they screwed up the adapter they sent me

00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:26.400
then it has this this is an auxiliary power connector for the graphics card

00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:31.520
slots and this became a big issue back in the days when three-way and four-way

00:46:28.680 --> 00:46:35.680
SLI first started popping up is you would actually have people because these

00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:41.200
these cards were so power hungry you would have people burning out the slots

00:46:38.839 --> 00:46:45.559
on their motherboards on motherboards that didn't

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:51.079
have these auxiliary power connectors because I mean if you think about it

00:46:48.359 --> 00:46:55.240
like it's not magic you know each of these I think is rated for 75 watts and

00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:58.119
then you've got the um the connectors that plug into the backs of the cards as

00:46:56.680 --> 00:47:05.640
well well but that doesn't mean that they're not drawing from the slot so all of a sudden you know 300 uh 450 I mean

00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:10.559
we're talking 500 watts going through what these tiny little traces here

00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:13.480
that's ridiculous so the auxiliary power

00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:17.440
helps augment what's coming from the 24 pin which is way up here all the way

00:47:15.319 --> 00:47:20.000
across the board uh by feeding these a little bit more so that helps out the

00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:24.520
ones that are plugged into the back of the card so I was hopeful that having a

00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:30.800
board that had that feature uh would help um and then finally I think there

00:47:28.520 --> 00:47:36.319
was one other thing that mattered I mean it looks cool so there's that uh no I

00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:42.160
actually oh oh yeah okay so it did have support for the uh these are 32 Gigabyte

00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:45.800
memory sticks here from Kingston so it had support from those and Kingston was

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:49.400
a sponsor for the project the the system was on display in their booth at CES and

00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.839
all that so being compatible with their latest and greatest memory was really

00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:58.400
really key on this and I think yeah that's pretty much

00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:02.079
about it so I can't wait to uh to roll this roll this baby out because I other

00:48:00.520 --> 00:48:07.000
than you know the flakiness with the cards I was using um pretty much all of

00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:11.800
which I can explain away due to the cards I was using which I used because

00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:14.960
they were uh very power efficient because they were very short I was

00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:20.359
really worried about clearance issues with like stuff over here if we had full

00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.720
length cards um I'm pretty sure most of

00:48:20.359 --> 00:48:27.240
the issues I had with the machine can be explained Away by the

00:48:23.359 --> 00:48:29.400
cards man that was frustrating though

00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:37.520
I mean people often ask me why I use the hardware that I use for a given project

00:48:34.720 --> 00:48:43.640
um and I pretty much use whatever I'm sure

00:48:42.240 --> 00:48:48.280
pretty sure is going to work best and even in those cases I end up with I end

00:48:46.040 --> 00:48:53.640
up with some issues but uh

00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:57.200
yeah I'm not a fan of anything except

00:48:53.640 --> 00:48:59.799
stuff that works so why do we use things

00:48:57.200 --> 00:49:04.000
that we use generally speaking for some compelling reason like it's the only

00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:07.480
product that is in the form factor that we need it to be in in order for this

00:49:05.680 --> 00:49:15.400
project to be a go like a perfect example would be uh that ASRock uh mini

00:49:11.240 --> 00:49:18.240
ITX um LGA 2011 board that we did our 18

00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:21.760
core shoe box machine in well they've got the only

00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:27.599
ITX um 2011 3 motherboard so what else am I

00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:31.960
going to use or it's the thing that I am most

00:49:29.680 --> 00:49:37.079
confident will actually function which is surprisingly hard I

00:49:34.319 --> 00:49:41.160
mean when when like and we encounter a lot of issues that most people never

00:49:38.799 --> 00:49:46.240
would because we're pushing this stuff to limits that it was never really

00:49:43.319 --> 00:49:46.240
intended to be pushed

00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:54.559
to like I guarantee you no one at AMD I

00:49:50.799 --> 00:49:56.880
guarantee it 100% no one at AMD has ever

00:49:54.559 --> 00:50:02.040
put seven fijes in a single motherboard and I also

00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:05.720
guarantee you that no one at ASUS ever

00:50:02.040 --> 00:50:08.319
put oh hold on this is going to be bad

00:50:05.720 --> 00:50:13.200
no one ever put seven high powered graphics cards in that

00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:19.480
motherboard how do I know they didn't do this because that's not how validation

00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:23.520
Labs work they don't do some like

00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:25.559
completely like ass crazy thing they do

00:50:23.520 --> 00:50:29.559
what they expect most people to run which is why most most people will never

00:50:27.799 --> 00:50:34.520
encounter the problem the kinds of problems that we

00:50:31.160 --> 00:50:36.240
do um so it's frustrating because people

00:50:34.520 --> 00:50:41.119
will get upset with us about you know oh you know I have one of these and it's great why aren't you using it well

00:50:38.720 --> 00:50:44.240
because maybe we've had issues with it that you've never seen before and we

00:50:42.680 --> 00:50:49.599
just tend to go with whatever we think has the best chance of working in some

00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.000
kind of like Bizarro land uh scenario

00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:54.160
like oh I don't know putting seven graphics cards in a single

00:50:55.319 --> 00:50:58.640
machine ah

00:50:59.359 --> 00:51:06.520
yes I am planning to upload this stream to uh YouTube and to vessel that is a

00:51:04.160 --> 00:51:10.720
plan I think last time I did a simultaneous release but this time I am

00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:16.920
not because last time was sort of like a weird experiment thing like I I wanted

00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:22.839
to do a video of building the machine because LG needed a video of the

00:51:20.040 --> 00:51:26.079
machine um but the winner was supposed to do it but I still had all his

00:51:24.359 --> 00:51:29.440
Hardware so I was like look I'll just do a video and I came up with this idea

00:51:28.200 --> 00:51:36.200
okay I'll just like I'll I'll live stream it because we don't have any editing resources right now and then

00:51:33.200 --> 00:51:38.440
people liked it it's like okay sure I

00:51:36.200 --> 00:51:42.880
mean what do I know anyway I love these cables these are

00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:50.359
awesome super big fan of these cable mod cables we've been using for our our

00:51:48.040 --> 00:51:56.240
projects here actually a friend of mine is one of the founders of cable mod um

00:51:54.520 --> 00:52:01.920
they like they're they're cool guys they're just it's like yeah like whatever projects you guys do we want to

00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:07.559
sponsor it we want to be involved um product's good love it it's always good

00:52:05.040 --> 00:52:13.200
I love that win-win stuff where it's like good product good people easy

00:52:10.799 --> 00:52:16.400
companies to deal with man where they take your feedback like if there's

00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:19.599
something that I don't like they don't get all you know defensive about it

00:52:18.160 --> 00:52:24.040
they're just like yeah okay that's cool thank you we'll fix it

00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:29.880
um I got someone saying line bro missed

00:52:27.680 --> 00:52:34.799
you how can you miss me I'm like all over the

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:40.480
Internet $400 power supply on the corner of the table it's stable look see it's

00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:45.119
not going anywhere come on man all right this was uh this was a fun part of the

00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:47.359
machine here this this was some this was

00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:52.680
some Jank Jank stuff that we had going on here so I didn't get the cages that I

00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:56.640
needed to mount the ssds so these are

00:52:52.680 --> 00:52:59.880
straight up double-sided taped

00:52:56.640 --> 00:53:02.920
oh wow I used the same so we actually

00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:04.920
bought this huge like massive roll of

00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:09.040
the same double-sided tape that GoPro includes on their mounts and then I used

00:53:07.640 --> 00:53:13.880
like I don't know if you can see them in there see I used like massive strips of

00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:17.680
them which was definitely a mistake but I had thought at the time that we were

00:53:15.839 --> 00:53:22.160
going to be shipping this system down to CES so I wanted them in there like

00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:26.520
really good last thing I want is to send a machine to Kingston to Showcase in

00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:32.880
their booth that has like the Kingston SSD is all like banged up and all over

00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:37.559
the inside of the uh oh

00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:37.559
wow how the crap am I going to get these

00:53:42.799 --> 00:53:50.079
off um this might do

00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:51.920
it wedge

00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:58.640
tactics uh wow okay we'll just stab them real good

00:53:56.119 --> 00:54:03.960
in there there I may have to I may have to cut them yeah that might work

00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:11.280
although I can tell you that did not work on the Intel 750 series SSD that I

00:54:08.040 --> 00:54:13.839
did my personal rig with nope that was

00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:17.200
not a good strategy um you know what I'm going to have to go find a knife here

00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:21.160
real quick but I can tell you guys what happened to that SSD in the

00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:25.520
meantime but died

00:54:22.839 --> 00:54:29.839
so I uh actually this is kind of funny normally a sample product like that

00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:34.880
would have no warranty because it would be an engineering sample with no serial

00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:39.559
number and stuff like that but um long

00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:41.480
story but I had a retail 750 series SSD

00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:47.640
so I contacted Intel's warranty department I'm like yo um so I broke

00:54:45.240 --> 00:54:53.599
this is there anything you can do for me and they were like no you're an idiot

00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:56.400
basically um wait did you inventory this

00:54:53.599 --> 00:55:00.000
yeah uh this is a drive uh the sticker goes on the drive and the packaging gets

00:54:58.200 --> 00:55:07.119
thrown away don't worry about it you're still learning sorry that's our new guy

00:55:03.640 --> 00:55:08.599
um he's learning how to inventory things

00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:14.440
I will tell you his name once he gets past his probation we've learned a valuable lesson about introducing people

00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:18.400
on the channel before they uh before they

00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:20.359
actually officially make it like we had

00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:24.799
one guy we had the last guy who was in his position lasted for two shifts he

00:55:23.839 --> 00:55:28.839
was just like yeah you you know this isn't really

00:55:27.240 --> 00:55:32.680
the kind of work that I had in mind and I was just like

00:55:30.359 --> 00:55:36.760
well this is exactly what I told you you'd be doing so I really don't

00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:41.760
understand where that expectation came from but that's okay you know no hard

00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:45.680
feelings or anything like that but just this puts us in a bit of a bind now I

00:55:43.720 --> 00:55:54.079
tell you guys Human Resources management is not um is not fun it's like actually

00:55:51.160 --> 00:55:58.359
super balls lame and you know what else is not fun I cannot find my knife I'm

00:55:56.640 --> 00:56:02.559
very sure that I lent it to someone today which means that I am equally sure

00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:07.520
that they didn't bring it back to me and this is why I get irate about this stuff

00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:12.599
it's not because I like to be a terrible person who's like you know mean or

00:56:10.359 --> 00:56:17.680
whatever it's just one of those things where if people don't return stuff to me

00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:23.079
then I end up wasting the time of literally thousands of people while I

00:56:19.680 --> 00:56:25.079
run around and look for a knife in the

00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:28.079
warehouse Brandon did you borrow my knife

00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:36.200
did you okay maybe I just misplaced it somewhere then I hope I did because I

00:56:33.480 --> 00:56:41.200
super duper like that knife it's super dull now I actually found some scissors

00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:41.200
and I'm kind of hoping this will be the

00:56:42.240 --> 00:56:47.440
solution here we go I'm back oh it was

00:56:45.799 --> 00:56:51.359
in the room the whole time there I was blaming Brandon for it and it turns out

00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:56.280
it was me I have scissors now

00:56:53.640 --> 00:57:01.079
too just in case I need those all right right so let's try slicing these apart

00:56:58.520 --> 00:57:09.240
here so right so this did not work for the SSD but in the case of the SSD I was

00:57:03.839 --> 00:57:12.559
like slicing thermal adhesive off of

00:57:09.240 --> 00:57:16.559
chips so I think what probably happened

00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:19.520
was uh wow these are on they

00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:24.400
good um like that I just kind of flexed too much and uh like disconnected

00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:29.359
something from the board like it kind of works a little like Windows will pick it

00:57:26.359 --> 00:57:30.839
up as an NVMe device but it can't you

00:57:29.359 --> 00:57:35.480
know write anything to it the BIOS actually doesn't see it even though Windows kind of does like it's super

00:57:33.520 --> 00:57:38.400
weird it's dead and Intel is just like yeah you you broke it dude and I'm like

00:57:37.240 --> 00:57:45.319
yeah I know I told you I broke it and they're like well okay why did you call

00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:50.440
then it's like I don't know maybe my internet Fame is worth

00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:55.799
something turns out internet Fame is actually not worth much but for the

00:57:53.520 --> 00:58:01.799
first time ever I was hanging out with um

00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:04.880
techrax who busts up iPhones on YouTube

00:58:01.799 --> 00:58:07.079
and what's inside who uh opens things up

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:12.720
on YouTube but doesn't unbox like slices things open um and we were at the

00:58:09.839 --> 00:58:15.760
International Auto Show and we went we tried to go to a restaurant like we were

00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:19.720
legit just trying to go out for dinner and they wouldn't let us in

00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:27.119
because of a private booking so we're standing there trying to figure out where else to go and someone comes

00:58:23.200 --> 00:58:29.200
out and she's like

00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:31.640
um and she just kind of walks up and starts talking to us we were just saying

00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:36.799
oh yeah sorry we didn't we didn't know it's a private event so we're we're just trying to we're going somewhere else

00:58:34.319 --> 00:58:39.039
she's like oh uh well who are you here with are you here for the auto show

00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:44.680
we're like oh yeah yeah we're here for the auto show she she's like who are you with we're like oh well you know I make

00:58:42.319 --> 00:58:53.039
YouTube videos and she's like are you influencers we're like I don't know I I

00:58:47.160 --> 00:58:54.640
I guess so uh and uh she's like how many

00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:58.920
followers do you have I'm like oh well between the three of us like something

00:58:56.680 --> 00:59:03.480
to the tune of five million subscribers on YouTube she's like no way and we're

00:59:00.680 --> 00:59:09.039
like yeah yeah she's like okay come on in so we got a free meal that was the

00:59:06.240 --> 00:59:14.960
first time due to my internet Fame that I have ever gotten like just randomly

00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:19.240
invited into a private event and gotten a free dinner it was awesome it was very

00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:23.599
good I forget the name of the place I'm not really good at that kind of stuff

00:59:20.839 --> 00:59:30.520
but it was a Kia party so um we're we're going inside and um what's ins side is

00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:33.960
like hey yo and I realized I had a Ford

00:59:30.520 --> 00:59:37.400
badge on my hip cuz I was actually I was

00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:39.119
actually there sponsored by Ford I mean

00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:42.000
it's not like it really it's not like it matters like we were just going out for

00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:46.480
dinner it's not like I was like oh I'm going to go have secret meetings with

00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:49.520
Kia or whatever while Ford is sponsoring me to be here at the show and you guys

00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:54.640
probably saw those sponsored posts mostly on like Twitter and Instagram um

00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:59.039
but just like walking around at the Kia party with a Ford badge on which

00:59:57.119 --> 01:00:03.200
probably seems like not the greatest thing

01:00:00.359 --> 01:00:06.799
ever uh yeah people like don't use the knife towards you no it only matters if

01:00:04.680 --> 01:00:10.160
you use the knife towards you if there's somewhere for it to slip towards you I

01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:14.559
am pushing down on the knife it is okay don't worry I have never actually

01:00:12.240 --> 01:00:19.559
managed to stab myself I cannot believe how difficult these are to remove I have

01:00:17.359 --> 01:00:26.480
no idea how long this is going to take I have removed one drive one drive I have

01:00:23.839 --> 01:00:30.520
to take eight off I don't know if I'm going to be able to come up with stories

01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:34.319
to tell to occupy the time it will take to remove eight of these

01:00:32.720 --> 01:00:39.319
drives stop

01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:45.160
go oh my goodness this is

01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:48.760
horrible okay oh I got a better slicing action going now here okay so I was

01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:53.240
pulling towards myself there but don't worry you guys got someone

01:00:51.559 --> 01:00:57.640
suggesting to heat the knife not a terrible idea but um not actually sure

01:00:56.079 --> 01:01:00.680
if it would be applicable to this particular type of

01:01:01.039 --> 01:01:08.200
adhesive slicey

01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:10.960
slicey man this stuff is

01:01:08.200 --> 01:01:16.240
Savage holy crap like this is not easy to remove and

01:01:13.839 --> 01:01:20.880
look how much of it I put on why did I do that I could have put like a little

01:01:18.680 --> 01:01:25.000
tiny tab in each corner and it would have been fine I like I'm bending the

01:01:23.520 --> 01:01:29.319
drives I don't know if you can see that but the drive is bent these better still

01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:33.440
work I still need these these are one tbte KC

01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:36.440
400s jeez

01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:43.720
ow okay I've never stabbed myself but I have definitely like whacked myself if

01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:49.359
you know what I mean I'd like to give a shout out to our sponsor Kingston thank

01:01:45.680 --> 01:01:54.599
you for powering the seven Gamers PC

01:01:49.359 --> 01:01:54.599
Kingston thank you get out of here

01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:04.640
it's not enough that I'm stabbing their ssds you got to give them shout outs

01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:14.599
too there we go okay I got a I got a

01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:14.599
better technique here now I think

01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:21.520
that no I am not going to say you can stab Kingston ssds and they will still

01:02:19.319 --> 01:02:25.720
work it is highly likely that they will not still work if you stab them

01:02:28.520 --> 01:02:32.799
these guys this is what I got to deal

01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:41.680
with okay it's not that easy to pull all

01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:47.440
the so I had actually wired up all the uh SATA cables before taping them into

01:02:44.680 --> 01:02:51.880
place so having to remove them before I pull the drives out is a

01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:58.640
little bit trickier oh man you hear that sound like

01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:58.640
these are not happy

01:03:01.160 --> 01:03:06.559
drives ah I'm like this stuff is really

01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:11.160
hard to remove ah it's like

01:03:09.520 --> 01:03:18.599
gooey okay half of the drives are out

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:20.640
yes got people saying the case is tough

01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:25.559
it'll bounce back uh yeah I don't know if it's going

01:03:23.520 --> 01:03:31.039
to bounce back but I can probably bend it back here's something a lot of people

01:03:28.359 --> 01:03:35.599
probably don't know unless you've like you know read a lot of SSD reviews

01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:41.599
online is that the stuff inside an SSD there's actually not a whole lot of it

01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:47.599
um so even if you were to bend the outer casing a fair bit the odds of that

01:03:44.799 --> 01:03:51.920
damaging any of the internal guts is is pretty slim it can bend a fair bit

01:03:49.319 --> 01:03:57.000
before the internal PCB which does have to stay pretty much straight um would be

01:03:54.520 --> 01:04:02.279
bent out of whack slice slice slice slice slice

01:04:06.200 --> 01:04:15.440
baby okay

01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:15.440
prying oh my goodness look at this one

01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:22.960
ah and the stuff is so

01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:24.760
like a it pulled the label off dang it I

01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:27.720
was doing so well all of them had kept their labels up till now

01:04:31.359 --> 01:04:39.079
okay oh hey the label is back in Action

01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:45.480
nice this one I scratched the bottom of though that's okay all

01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:47.799
good got someone saying this is H why

01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:51.240
they use velcro I've actually been using that industrial strength Velcro that I

01:04:49.480 --> 01:04:56.760
get at Home Depot for a long time I've had some issues with the adhesive on it

01:04:53.240 --> 01:04:59.279
um it eventually turns kind of gooey and

01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:05.240
sticky well okay okay it's supposed to be sticky it's adhesive but it turns

01:05:01.160 --> 01:05:06.680
kind of like like soft and and um like

01:05:05.240 --> 01:05:13.240
how would I describe it it's kind of like a kind of more like sap than an

01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:17.079
actual than an actual tape um and it seems to not really work very well over

01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:22.279
long periods of time so I've actually stopped using it uh I did my cable

01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:26.799
manage the last thing I did with it was my cable manage your desk the manly way

01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:32.720
video and everything that I mounted with it has fallen off in that time um just

01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:36.920
from you know I guess being a relatively hot place or whatever else like it's not

01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:40.039
even that hot like it's a climate control office but there is some

01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:44.200
sunlight that comes into it so I'm just kind of guessing at this point but um

01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:48.880
I've also had some issues with it with UV lighting like UV case

01:05:46.480 --> 01:05:54.920
lighting uh that makes the that makes the adhesive turn really really hard as

01:05:52.200 --> 01:05:58.079
well this stuff's great like if the idea is to

01:05:56.359 --> 01:06:03.160
stick something to something Forever This stuff's really

01:06:00.279 --> 01:06:07.640
good I wish they had this adhesive on the other side of the velcro that would

01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:12.480
be perfect all right I'll take those apart later I'm just going to pull this

01:06:09.200 --> 01:06:14.480
last set of drives out of here

01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:19.720
oops see my knife form might not be perfect

01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:22.920
but it slipped and nothing was damaged or hurt

01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:35.920
why are people telling Nick to steal a power supply and why is Nick watching a

01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:38.599
twitch stream instead of working these

01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:38.599
are both great

01:06:39.359 --> 01:06:44.359
questions laughs this

01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:51.720
guy trying to moderate the chat well I

01:06:49.720 --> 01:06:57.520
can tell you why that's not working because it's

01:06:53.520 --> 01:06:57.520
futile I wouldn't worry about it

01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:04.200
that's weird My Stream just cut out but no one else seems to be complaining so

01:07:01.520 --> 01:07:04.200
uh there you

01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:11.480
go okay the

01:07:08.839 --> 01:07:16.599
drives are out love

01:07:13.279 --> 01:07:19.160
it love it now I can deploy these

01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:22.920
somewhere else which is what I have been wanting to do with them for quite some

01:07:23.279 --> 01:07:28.359
time got people asking for more stories

01:07:26.839 --> 01:07:34.440
I'm just trying to think if I have any more stories right

01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:36.000
now what have we been up to lately oh

01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:41.119
this here's is kind of a good one we were trying to film an episode of uh

01:07:39.720 --> 01:07:46.680
holy bleep the other day and I got these

01:07:44.799 --> 01:07:52.319
really cool dish-based internet doodads from

01:07:50.680 --> 01:07:55.960
ubiquity so there are these point-to-point

01:07:53.839 --> 01:08:01.000
um like huge dish things that allow you

01:07:58.359 --> 01:08:05.119
to send a network connection anywhere from you know depending on the skew on

01:08:03.200 --> 01:08:08.960
whoops dropped my knife anywhere depending on the skew on their website

01:08:06.520 --> 01:08:15.119
anywhere from like I think like 20 kilm to up to 200 plus

01:08:11.799 --> 01:08:17.199
kilomet and I had a bunch of pieces of

01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:21.440
stuff that they sent me and so I grabbed them all and we started filming the

01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:29.600
video and I realized halfway through the video that I had two different products

01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:31.000
so one of them was a 200 plus kilom

01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:35.480
product that you needed a separate antenna for that they didn't send so I

01:08:33.480 --> 01:08:39.319
knew nothing about any of that and then the other one so so I

01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:45.120
didn't even have all the pieces of that one and that was the one I started with and then the other one was a complete

01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:48.600
kit like completely Standalone kit by itself it was like 150 bucks like it was

01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:53.440
actually relatively affordable whereas the other one was like Enterprise grade

01:08:51.040 --> 01:08:57.920
like super expensive stuff so we actually filmed half a video of me

01:08:56.080 --> 01:09:02.560
explaining what we were going to make the video about and it turned out that

01:08:59.960 --> 01:09:07.279
it was completely the wrong product completely the wrong product so what we

01:09:05.080 --> 01:09:14.359
ended up doing was we changed gears and we kind of went um okay so let's let's

01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:17.239
redo let's redo the footage here and we

01:09:14.359 --> 01:09:20.719
will um so we'll just redo the intro and we're we'll just start with this one the

01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:25.600
the one that we actually have all the pieces for so we filmed most of it and

01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:29.279
then um it got to be the end of the day i'

01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:33.159
had to go home I had to go home and we weren't quite done yet so I was like

01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:37.199
okay so here's what I'll do we'll we'll come in tomorrow morning and we'll we'll

01:09:34.480 --> 01:09:42.400
finish it off so after all that after refiling it twice or filming it twice

01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:48.199
filming it once and then ref filming it get this SD card died this is the kind

01:09:46.440 --> 01:09:50.839
of stuff that you guys never get to see like everyone's always like it's so easy

01:09:49.679 --> 01:09:57.199
to make videos you just stand in front of a camera and talk for a bit you know what actually not um and okay admitt ly

01:09:55.719 --> 01:10:02.880
that first problem could have been prevented by me actually looking at uh

01:10:00.400 --> 01:10:08.320
what it was we were making a video about beforehand so okay fine but I like those

01:10:06.040 --> 01:10:11.719
I like the holy bleep episodes to be very genuine like I want it to be the

01:10:10.040 --> 01:10:18.080
initial reaction so I want it to be like okay here it is let's rip it out of the box and have a long range you know

01:10:14.920 --> 01:10:19.560
network connection or whatever um but

01:10:18.080 --> 01:10:24.760
the one where the SD card died like there's nothing we can do about that and like we we'll set out at the beginning

01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:28.760
of the week with with all these goals SSD is all successfully removed by the

01:10:26.719 --> 01:10:34.320
way all these videos we want to make and then we just get these obnoxious

01:10:31.719 --> 01:10:39.159
curveballs thrown at us right like something dying in the middle of the

01:10:36.040 --> 01:10:41.040
week um you know a USB header popping

01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:47.320
off of a motherboard while you're trying to just just trying to work on

01:10:44.080 --> 01:10:52.040
it so yeah I mean it's gotten to the

01:10:47.320 --> 01:10:54.320
point now where for like personal

01:10:52.040 --> 01:10:59.199
personal gear like when I was building up my wife's machine

01:10:56.640 --> 01:11:07.280
am I putting you know an Rog board in there an NVMe SSD 10 gig network card no

01:11:03.719 --> 01:11:10.400
man I'm not doing any of that stuff I

01:11:07.280 --> 01:11:13.760
went with ASUS's um they call it their

01:11:10.400 --> 01:11:15.760
channel series um internally anyway

01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:22.960
excuse me uh but I went with their premium channel series board uh z170

01:11:19.120 --> 01:11:26.320
Deluxe simple simple you know consumer

01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:31.840
grade not like you know aiming or

01:11:26.320 --> 01:11:34.560
whatever um went with just a 6600 GTX

01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:41.120
6600 keeping it really simple you know went with just some some Corsair memory

01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:43.800
like super basic memory not highp speed

01:11:41.120 --> 01:11:47.679
we're talking like DDR3 2133 or something like that like very very base

01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:52.320
model because that's the stuff that works and there's a reason for that it

01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:56.360
actually makes sense if you understand the product development process um a

01:11:54.880 --> 01:12:02.000
little bit so when you build a

01:11:58.760 --> 01:12:04.000
product you can invest x amount of R&D

01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:08.560
into it that has to be somehow proportional to the reward that you're

01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:11.800
going to get from it and like a $500 motherboard you know yeah you're selling

01:12:10.480 --> 01:12:15.760
a motherboard for $500 but the reality of it is that

01:12:14.440 --> 01:12:18.480
you're not going to sell that many of them because who buys $500 motherboards

01:12:17.480 --> 01:12:25.040
come on you got to be kidding me here right so the the board that's going to

01:12:22.560 --> 01:12:29.280
sell the most is actually going to be the one that Returns the most for the

01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:35.120
investment in it and the board that sells the most is going to be the one

01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:38.000
with the most other people using it so

01:12:35.120 --> 01:12:43.040
if the whole thing with products in the last well really forever has been that

01:12:41.280 --> 01:12:47.199
the end user ends up being kind of a beta tester then what I tend to do these

01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:51.960
days if I want something that's going to work is I'll go with the most mainstream

01:12:49.040 --> 01:12:55.400
possible thing because that way a bunch of other people already bought it and

01:12:53.800 --> 01:13:00.320
can already complain about it if it's not working properly and if there is a

01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:06.440
huge issue with it the odds of the manufacturer having

01:13:03.040 --> 01:13:08.480
to fix it in order to do damage control

01:13:06.440 --> 01:13:12.800
is much higher because many many more of their customers have

01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:17.440
it so the way I select products for our crazy projects and the way that I select

01:13:14.719 --> 01:13:20.360
products for my own use are actually very very

01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:27.120
different so there you go there's a little Pro tip for you guys there we go

01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:27.120
so the case

01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:32.960
is put back together it's actually really like crazy light like I don't

01:13:31.719 --> 01:13:37.440
know if you guys know this case mods cases aluminum really light it's only

01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:42.440
once you put like you know 80 lounds worth of you know copper into it in the

01:13:40.679 --> 01:13:47.280
form of water blocks that they end up getting extraordinarily

01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:52.520
heavy uh just got a little bit more left to do I was actually I was thinking

01:13:49.960 --> 01:13:58.920
about live streaming the entire uh tear down of the of the multi block

01:13:55.719 --> 01:14:01.719
video card thing but I think that will

01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:06.120
take too long and like I know some of you are going to be like no lus come on

01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:12.040
do it no really it will actually take too long like I spent probably about 4

01:14:08.800 --> 01:14:14.280
hours mounting them all so you're not

01:14:12.040 --> 01:14:20.239
sneaky he get out get out of here get out of

01:14:18.000 --> 01:14:25.639
here Nick giving into twitch chat and their

01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:28.239
they Wicked

01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:32.239
suggestions this

01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:38.760
guy he doesn't even need a 1600 wat power

01:14:39.719 --> 01:14:45.080
supply I know because his computer

01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:50.600
sucks yeah that's right I just talked trash about your computer my

01:14:48.320 --> 01:14:56.920
computer yeah take that jerk I have a 357

01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:05.960
he's saying he has Athlon 64

01:15:02.639 --> 01:15:05.960
X2 what a

01:15:10.320 --> 01:15:16.560
loser yeah I think the X2 um any

01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:21.239
criticism of that would not have anything to do with fanboyism it would

01:15:18.320 --> 01:15:27.840
be more to do with how old it is and slow yeah get wrecked son

01:15:25.400 --> 01:15:32.760
okay so last thing here just going to pull this bracket this is a really cool

01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:35.800
mounting bracket too actually EK was

01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:38.840
another huge helper on this project uh

01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:41.280
would have been hard to do without them

01:15:38.840 --> 01:15:46.080
and case Labs um kind of helping me out on the water cooling cuz when I have a

01:15:43.800 --> 01:15:49.239
case already and I've sort of seen all the water cooling Hardware already it's

01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:53.280
pretty easy for me to be like okay yeah here's all the stuff I need um but I've

01:15:51.360 --> 01:15:57.480
been kind of out of the loop so to speak for water cooling for a while

01:15:55.800 --> 01:16:01.320
um like we don't really review this stuff anymore so I I only really bring

01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:06.400
it in for projects so like I know how to water cool but I don't I don't really

01:16:03.320 --> 01:16:08.199
keep up on it the way that I used to so

01:16:06.400 --> 01:16:11.760
both of them helped me out uh you know figuring out hey where are we going to

01:16:10.239 --> 01:16:17.239
put the res where are we going to put the pump um how are we going to mount

01:16:13.719 --> 01:16:20.280
the res and this Mount this like um 120

01:16:17.239 --> 01:16:22.960
mm like bracket Mount that you can turn

01:16:20.280 --> 01:16:27.520
into the U the anti vibration rubber mount for that Reservoir pump combo

01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:32.280
freaking awesome love it and you can actually get a version of the of the res

01:16:29.679 --> 01:16:37.960
pump combo that has a shorter res if I recall correctly so you are not uh

01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:40.960
married to having something so tall so depending on your case you may actually

01:16:39.280 --> 01:16:44.920
even be able to mount it at the back of the case on your exhaust pan don't quote

01:16:43.040 --> 01:16:49.960
me on that one though I'm not 100% sure if that'll work out great for you my

01:16:47.440 --> 01:16:56.440
laptop battery is about to die it's at 7% see if I can save

01:16:53.600 --> 01:17:02.960
it oh I was so frustrated the other night cuz my phone was um was like oh

01:17:00.679 --> 01:17:07.000
battery about to die 2% battery or whatever and then you know how you do

01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:15.000
the whole thing where you're like I can beat it I can do this and so I like ran

01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:16.920
to plug it in and I got it like I

01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:21.760
actually made it it was at like 1% I'm like I made it

01:17:19.239 --> 01:17:24.400
yeah and then while I was sitting there checking the battery level with the

01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:27.960
screen powered on it was only plugged into a one charger so it

01:17:29.480 --> 01:17:35.320
died I was that down to the wire that

01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:39.880
just the fact that it was charging but not charging enough was enough to uh was

01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:43.480
enough to take it out so disappointing because then you

01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:46.800
got to wait like 5 minutes or whatever for it to charge up a bit like I don't I

01:17:45.440 --> 01:17:50.560
don't really like charging my phones at 2 amps because um I like my batteries

01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:56.000
lasting for longer so I only really do that when I'm

01:17:52.760 --> 01:17:57.600
desperate but uh yeah I was I was pretty

01:17:56.000 --> 01:18:01.880
disappointed right there cool story bro thanks

01:18:02.080 --> 01:18:08.600
bro this is frustrating case manufacturers if I ever make that video

01:18:07.120 --> 01:18:16.679
that I had talked about last week of like manufacturer dos and don'ts do use

01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:19.800
screws with iron in them because don't

01:18:16.679 --> 01:18:21.280
use ones that are just made of like uh

01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:25.520
there's a test bench that I was using a little while ago from deusch deusch

01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:29.880
deusch anyway um all the screws included are aluminum

01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:33.239
which is terrible because a if you have a magnetic screwdriver uh that doesn't

01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:39.639
help you out a whole lot because the screw won't stick to the bit and B

01:18:36.480 --> 01:18:41.520
aluminum is a super malleable metal like

01:18:39.639 --> 01:18:46.000
anytime oh okay this time it's the battery don't worry we got this so

01:18:44.120 --> 01:18:49.960
anytime um like a a thread doesn't go in

01:18:48.520 --> 01:18:56.159
perfectly or whatever it just derps out hardcore and

01:18:53.880 --> 01:19:01.600
and actually shear off so you end up with remnants of of screw in the hole

01:18:59.719 --> 01:19:05.320
and then you end up with no head to actually take it out so you have to

01:19:03.400 --> 01:19:11.360
drill it out it's ridiculous so do not use aluminum screws

01:19:08.520 --> 01:19:15.639
and do use screws with iron in them so that I can use my magnetic screwdriver

01:19:13.320 --> 01:19:21.360
because a magnetic screwdriver makes projects go a lot lot

01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:25.239
faster if you work on as many of these types of projects as I do you care about

01:19:23.360 --> 01:19:28.280
every like fraction of a second that you can save while you work on

01:19:30.440 --> 01:19:37.679
them wow we're up to nearly 5,000 viewers man you guys if I had known you

01:19:35.920 --> 01:19:40.679
like these kinds of streams so much I could stream like pretty much all the

01:19:39.159 --> 01:19:45.400
time when I'm working on this kind of crap cuz I'm pretty much always doing

01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:49.440
this like if I'm not filming actively filming a video I'm probably working on

01:19:48.120 --> 01:19:53.280
something like this whether it's our servers here at the office or whether

01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:58.760
it's like an upcoming video or teing down an old one or whatever else the cas

01:19:54.880 --> 01:20:01.159
may be all right let's uh where' that

01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:07.400
front panel piece go can't remember how this mounts anymore unfortunately I

01:20:03.360 --> 01:20:09.159
think uh I think it goes in here and

01:20:07.400 --> 01:20:13.920
then sits on like some spikes or something and then uh yeah here we'll

01:20:11.679 --> 01:20:19.040
switch to the overhead view the unfortunate thing about this

01:20:16.159 --> 01:20:25.440
stream is that I had to tear down the WAN streaming computer in order to do it

01:20:22.199 --> 01:20:28.639
so you might think that that will mean

01:20:25.440 --> 01:20:31.520
that wo will be on

01:20:28.639 --> 01:20:36.040
time but because I've got the stream machine working but having it working

01:20:33.800 --> 01:20:40.120
with one configuration doesn't necessarily mean it will work with some

01:20:38.320 --> 01:20:44.199
other configuration so I actually have even less hope than usual and we are

01:20:42.719 --> 01:20:49.239
still doing W show today I've actually seen a couple people asking about that in the chat yes that is definitely still

01:20:48.040 --> 01:20:53.040
the plan I mean when do we ever Miss wow

01:20:51.679 --> 01:20:56.080
it's amazing how many people still ask us that actually it's like hey are you

01:20:54.840 --> 01:21:00.400
guys doing W show today when was the last time we missed a w show suckers

01:20:58.760 --> 01:21:06.679
that's what I thought we almost never miss wow even if

01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:12.280
we're like in another country we don't miss

01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:15.679
wow One does not simply Miss wo like

01:21:12.280 --> 01:21:17.440
either Luke or I may miss wano but I

01:21:15.679 --> 01:21:21.639
don't think we have ever both been absent for it since the show started but

01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:25.719
you guys may have to correct me on that one it's possible we missed one my

01:21:23.679 --> 01:21:30.239
memory is a little fuzzy because I'm

01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:36.600
old all right and I just knocked it back in got

01:21:33.679 --> 01:21:36.600
to be freaking kidding

01:21:38.199 --> 01:21:44.280
me just popped it in and I popped it

01:21:41.320 --> 01:21:50.960
back out that's okay though I got this just get get in there just just don't

01:21:47.320 --> 01:21:56.040
just don't thank you all

01:21:50.960 --> 01:21:58.679
right get out of the way cable dang it

01:21:56.040 --> 01:22:04.280
now there's a cable stuck there now it's done all right now I can box that baby

01:22:01.360 --> 01:22:04.280
back up all

01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:14.280
done all right well you know what we've got a little bit of time left so why

01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:15.760
don't we do this oh why don't I at least

01:22:14.280 --> 01:22:19.199
show you guys I'm think we'll mostly use the

01:22:18.080 --> 01:22:26.520
overhead view for this why don't I at least show you guys how the seven block

01:22:22.320 --> 01:22:26.520
uh Joiner thing here actually works

01:22:31.080 --> 01:22:40.760
Works where my screwdriver go DNB it knowing me it's probably like

01:22:37.480 --> 01:22:40.760
inside the computer or

01:22:48.639 --> 01:22:57.120
something okay blah blah blah blah blah

01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:59.159
blah okay sorry just checking emails I

01:22:57.120 --> 01:23:03.320
know it's rude but the reality of it is I get a lot of emails and if I don't

01:23:01.719 --> 01:23:08.440
reply to those then that will be rude too so I'll just be rude to everyone

01:23:06.600 --> 01:23:16.440
universally that's the only solution that I can come up with where is my

01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:19.239
screwdriver I definitely need it I need

01:23:16.440 --> 01:23:26.400
the hex head screwdriver and I cannot find

01:23:21.040 --> 01:23:29.480
it I know this is definitely my fault

01:23:26.400 --> 01:23:31.040
and it is definitely not in the

01:23:29.480 --> 01:23:36.480
case Okay

01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:39.960
um is it definitely in my

01:23:36.480 --> 01:23:39.960
pocket sometimes that

01:23:40.320 --> 01:23:46.480
happens all right time to empty the

01:23:44.040 --> 01:23:54.800
pockets phone ah there it is

01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:54.800
good well that solve that problem

01:23:56.760 --> 01:24:06.239
all right so basically the way it works is you install all the Blocks

01:24:02.639 --> 01:24:09.440
individually on the cards then you take

01:24:06.239 --> 01:24:11.600
this piece on the top here and install

01:24:09.440 --> 01:24:15.480
the cards onto it one by one so I'm actually going to have to remove pretty

01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:20.360
much the whole shebang here in order to show you guys how one of them mounts but

01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:23.080
um or maybe not maybe I can just pull one off here actually yes that makes

01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:27.120
more sense okay

01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:31.400
I'll get you guys a bit of a closer look with the uh with the webcam when I get when I get a minute

01:24:33.639 --> 01:24:42.280
here okay here we

01:24:37.440 --> 01:24:44.840
go so right here I've got these long

01:24:42.280 --> 01:24:48.480
bolts these guys right here that go through here then I'm going to flip this

01:24:47.280 --> 01:24:51.880
over I'm going to put down this camera for a second while I flip it over just

01:24:50.400 --> 01:24:58.600
CU I don't want to uh I don't want to break anything here ideally

01:24:56.239 --> 01:25:04.880
okay so this one should detach yep there we go so then uh ek's

01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:08.080
blocked but just fell dang

01:25:10.040 --> 01:25:17.960
it and we dropped something fantastic I

01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:19.719
don't know what it was even oh that is

01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:23.280
very very unfortunate if I knew what it was I

01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:28.679
would at least know what I was looking oh there it is it is is that no that's

01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:33.239
not it yes it is what is this

01:25:28.679 --> 01:25:36.880
screw wow I super super duper don't know

01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:41.560
oh here wow weird one of the screws in

01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:41.560
this block just like came

01:25:42.280 --> 01:25:48.639
out this one wow okay anyway so this is

01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:54.400
a really cool thing that EK does is the tops of their blocks are kind of oh oh

01:25:50.920 --> 01:25:54.400
go away go away

01:25:56.440 --> 01:26:03.840
okay the tops of their blocks are kind of modular now so you can you can see

01:26:01.040 --> 01:26:08.239
they've got these these slits here where the water flows so two slits per side

01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:14.880
and then you can either have ones that kind of come off like this or like this

01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:20.679
or using those bolts I showed you before they can go straight into a big splitter

01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:26.360
like this see so you've got oh you can't see that very well hold on

01:26:24.360 --> 01:26:30.440
there we go so there you've got O-rings in here as long as you get those sealed

01:26:28.280 --> 01:26:34.760
exactly perfectly and then the whole thing goes in this one and then out this

01:26:32.800 --> 01:26:40.880
one and then into the next card here and then out the next card right around here

01:26:37.080 --> 01:26:40.880
and so on and so forth very very cool

01:26:44.360 --> 01:26:50.400
stuff and yes there is a lot of water on

01:26:47.679 --> 01:26:55.199
the table I am aware of that thank you yes I do see that as something of a

01:26:53.920 --> 01:27:01.400
problem but not going to stress about it now no

01:26:59.040 --> 01:27:10.159
my friends I'm not going to stress about it now I am going to remove these one by

01:27:06.000 --> 01:27:11.199
one yes all this stuff is like not bad

01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:17.320
in small doses but

01:27:14.400 --> 01:27:22.760
oops that's funny uh not bad in small doses but by the time you do

01:27:19.800 --> 01:27:28.000
like you know seven cards times three bolts what is that 21 bolts BS it gets

01:27:25.719 --> 01:27:33.920
kind of tedious all right let's remember that

01:27:30.639 --> 01:27:36.280
they come off now moving forward that

01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:36.280
would be

01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:42.520
good

01:27:42.760 --> 01:27:47.920
okay everyone's like rip come on this

01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:53.679
stuff's not that fragile I hope you guys know that like it is but it's also not

01:27:54.280 --> 01:27:59.920
like look at any secondhand shop look at the way they treat Hardware that

01:27:57.480 --> 01:28:04.159
Hardware still works just throwing that out

01:28:00.679 --> 01:28:07.119
there um like no it's not ideal yes some

01:28:04.159 --> 01:28:13.880
of it will get broken but literally like bins of graphics cards can still work

01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:19.400
and they just get kind of thrown in a bin and that fell onto the block not

01:28:17.360 --> 01:28:22.239
onto the PCB even so the chances of knocking off a surface mount component

01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:25.239
or something like that is pretty much zero

01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:33.480
fortunately I don't need these cards for any other projects anyway so I am pretty

01:28:31.679 --> 01:28:37.800
much done with them but that doesn't mean that I like killing things if I

01:28:35.440 --> 01:28:42.960
don't have to I actually kill surprisingly Little

01:28:41.080 --> 01:28:48.639
Hardware although I've had a bit of a rough run of it lately with the um with

01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:53.000
that 750 SSD man I did not want to kill

01:28:48.639 --> 01:28:54.360
that $800 or $122,000 SSD or whatever um

01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:58.719
and all those motherboards for that router machine I was super not happy

01:28:56.320 --> 01:28:58.719
about that

01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:03.840
either

01:29:03.880 --> 01:29:10.880
okay I have a really fun one coming that involves taking an angle grinder to a

01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:14.639
GTX Titan uh so for those of you who are on vessel you've already seen it but um

01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:20.760
for those of you on YouTube you have that to look forward to should be

01:29:18.119 --> 01:29:24.840
good I do not like killing servers I haven't killed any servers what you

01:29:22.159 --> 01:29:33.440
talking about speaking of servers oh I am so stoked on this um that super

01:29:30.480 --> 01:29:40.400
micro machine that I tweeted about uh last week I think it was has arrived so

01:29:37.119 --> 01:29:44.080
it's an 8 GPU server

01:29:40.400 --> 01:29:45.480
machine I am super stoked I think you

01:29:44.080 --> 01:29:48.360
guys probably already know where I'm going with anything that can take a

01:29:47.440 --> 01:29:53.639
bunch of gpus um but this is this is going to be

01:29:52.280 --> 01:30:00.480
a it's going to be a bit of a different angle on how many people I can have gaming off

01:29:56.560 --> 01:30:01.800
of a machine all at once very very cool

01:30:00.480 --> 01:30:05.560
got people asking me to move the power supply you know the more you ask me the

01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:08.400
less likely I am to do it so there's pretty much nothing you

01:30:07.719 --> 01:30:15.199
can do you are powerless powerless to save the power

01:30:15.960 --> 01:30:23.440
supply okay wow there we go seven

01:30:20.480 --> 01:30:28.480
graphics cards all removed here let's take another look at that bad

01:30:26.360 --> 01:30:37.840
boy so that's it all the screws are out there they are

01:30:32.679 --> 01:30:39.520
and you can see what EK did here so they

01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:43.000
uh there's actually a lot of inlets and Outlets depending on the mounting

01:30:41.920 --> 01:30:48.080
options that you want for it this thing's really cool like I'm going to hold on to this I don't know when I

01:30:45.800 --> 01:30:56.320
would ever use something like this again but that is definitely like oneof aind

01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:58.840
unique item hold on to that just in case

01:30:56.320 --> 01:31:03.040
just in case you ever happen to have to water cool seven cards in a single

01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:07.760
system again the kind of disappointing thing is that um ek's ek's system for

01:31:06.520 --> 01:31:13.639
connecting the multiple cards on the bottom there's no plugs for

01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:15.320
them so you actually have to do seven

01:31:13.639 --> 01:31:19.800
cards that was a pretty horrifying moment when it looked like we weren't

01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:25.840
going to get the system posted with seven cards and John from lime Tech was

01:31:23.080 --> 01:31:31.600
like oh no it's no big deal we'll just cuz I I had actually told Kingston I

01:31:28.280 --> 01:31:33.719
told the sponsor it'll be like six or

01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:39.880
seven and so John's like well don't worry you told Kingston it could be six

01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:44.639
I'm like yeah okay yes but we have a

01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:47.159
problem I can't take out a card I can't

01:31:44.639 --> 01:31:52.239
do six it'll have to be four with air cooling which I definitely didn't want

01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:54.600
to do that's like admitting defeat

01:31:52.239 --> 01:31:58.960
or it'll be seven and well you know how that story ends we

01:31:57.239 --> 01:32:02.719
did end up getting it working but it was extremely

01:32:00.280 --> 01:32:10.119
stressful it's like man how bad I looked in that video like

01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:15.719
how defeated and tired I looked that was

01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:15.719
exactly exactly how I felt it was

01:32:16.080 --> 01:32:21.480
brutal ouch hm that is not going to be

01:32:20.040 --> 01:32:25.320
oh yeah actually here there's another cool Pro tip for you guys

01:32:24.159 --> 01:32:29.080
um if you're having trouble getting a fitting out and it's one that doesn't

01:32:27.239 --> 01:32:34.639
have a spot to use a wrench on just grab a piece of tubing and then use that for

01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:34.639
grip see

01:32:36.040 --> 01:32:41.840
easy now you can't say I never taught you anything unless you already knew

01:32:40.320 --> 01:32:44.639
that in which case you can say that but then why are you watching this

01:32:46.440 --> 01:32:52.840
show oh this one's not coming it doesn't help when your tubing's wet though a bit

01:32:50.960 --> 01:32:55.840
of a problem we'll try the old pants trick

01:32:56.600 --> 01:33:03.719
nope no dice all right let's try another piece of tubing maybe like different

01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:10.560
tubing we'll cooperate more with me ah yes there we go

01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:10.560
awesome no my power supply is not

01:33:12.920 --> 01:33:19.520
depressed okay well yeah I guess uh I

01:33:17.960 --> 01:33:25.520
don't know how much else there is to really say about this if you guys

01:33:22.040 --> 01:33:28.639
enjoyed this uh this stream then hey you

01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:30.280
know like I guess do they have that on

01:33:28.639 --> 01:33:35.360
Twitch well if you're watching this on YouTube then you can

01:33:32.360 --> 01:33:35.360
definitely

01:33:38.040 --> 01:33:45.600
um a that's so nice um uh our contact at

01:33:43.119 --> 01:33:50.400
Kingston just sent me a message saying that he's a depressed that the system

01:33:47.440 --> 01:33:54.520
will not live on forever I'm sorry to uh I'm sorry to be the one to have to break

01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:57.840
it to him that unless he wants to provide us with completely new sets of

01:33:56.199 --> 01:34:01.960
all the hardware for every machine we do then that really isn't possible except

01:33:59.679 --> 01:34:06.480
we do really ask him for that so I've probably given away too much at this

01:34:03.239 --> 01:34:08.320
point and uh two he said that the stream

01:34:06.480 --> 01:34:12.600
is being really well run that's the first time I've ever heard that from anyone about a stream Luke's nodding

01:34:11.280 --> 01:34:16.239
thanks for that um so I guess that's pretty much it

01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:20.040

01:34:54.040 --> 01:35:00.320
similar format video that I did where I built up a machine for the winner of the

01:34:57.719 --> 01:35:06.280
LG ultrawide festival and I'll have that linked up there on YouTube

01:35:02.560 --> 01:35:07.960
only it is what it is oh I have to stop

01:35:06.280 --> 01:35:16.360
