for almost two years matt here has coordinated the procurement for everyone
else's Intel extreme tech upgrades always the bridesmaid never the bride
well not today because it's finally time we are giving
matt a 5 000 tech makeover he's got a
core i5 he's got an rtx graphics card
he's got a turntable speaker system and
an ipad what is this
oh there you go but also bribery to ensure that i won't dig around too much
and find all the stolen goods two bite brownies is this actually part
of the upgrade no just for you they're not really too bad
i i'm gonna dig around i'm gonna find everything i'm pretty sure there's sound
bars from the office you have to find a tag don't you
i'm sure you're smart enough to take off the tags but i am damn sure that this
thing's from the office even better yet it is it just never was inventoried but
then i still bought it off it was never inventoried it was an extra
right before i started they sent two of the exact same ones and one went into a
video according to jamie and the other one didn't so you did me a favor is what
you're saying yeah a man of culture i see when you walk
into a house and you see a wii sensor bar
you know they're a true gamer wow that's a pretty good wii game collection too i
love it this is awesome definitely not bootleg this one
no that one was just a reasonable coffee we have a lot of extras because
we have two copies of wii fit how fit do you need to be not fit at all because we
don't have the sensor bar here that we don't have the board anymore but the
bigger thing is that this was my wii which i have still the
memory card in here for the gamecube games but i also homebrewed it so i had
like the occasional n64 game on there which doesn't matter anymore because of
nintendo switch online oh yeah it's a good service nintendo switch online
it feels more right doing it the broken way than doing it the paid way
this fridge is almost certainly stolen i don't know if anyone would actually buy
one of these dyson things that's got to be from the office no i bought it
oh when you don't have ac you kind of get desperate and when it's app-controlled it's even better you know
they have fans they have a thing in the middle that goes like this yeah
but that one matches the floors better
it's all about the aesthetics i can't tell if you're serious right now oh no i'm 100 serious we bought this one
simply for the fact that it has the like the formaldehyde detection because it's the fancier one well that's cool okay
that's not what you said before what you said before was that it matched the
floor but that was the main reason that was the first one not gonna lie i
think you're mostly clean these you green cables are almost certainly stolen
from the office amazon purchase really yep okay
that one is obviously it's got an asset tag on it so i've been
loaning this one because i want to purchase one and now i have an actual
one that's on pre-order and it's just hiding in this bag wait it's on
pre-order or it's in a bag nope there's this exact one coming but this one is
unfortunately from the office
the blue colorway you'll see is a theme very soon
are you going to play for us uh probably in the exclusive in the
exclusive yeah because i used to play in a band for about six years wow okay and
they're still running strong back home in winnipeg and so they gave you the
boot hey i kind of left them they thought i was
going solo no one thing i noticed when we were back in
the study there isn't a computer we're replacing no there's just a brand new
build happening because when i first applied for this job i typed up my
entire resume using dex because my laptop just died there's an old video
back where we had what do the people at LMG use in between Intel upgrades my
running joke was my whole pc is the xbox
because it has edge on it i see okay so
up until then it was simply a usb-c cable as you saw with a dongle with a
mouse and keyboard running decks that got me to this point
we could do better where are we going to set up to build we
could either use this table or that table depends where you want to sit
where i want to sit yeah oh you think i'm building the computer i'd like some
assistance i put the ass in assistance sit down
you know what i think i like best about math setup it's like the fu fanboys
setup you're rocking Android you got
ipad os you got Windows pcs nintendo
playstation xbox you just don't give a do you it's a matter of where the
games are and eventually getting the money to go get them and yet you've
never built a gaming computer hey you like a manual
that's what we do with manuals right uh well hold on a second you've got a lot
of things going wrong here this place looks so nice i'm gonna try not to
destroy it today that's gonna be one of the themes of today's
extreme tech upgrade we did a test build uh me and Dan about a week ago just to
make sure everything would fit you do a lot of talking and not a lot of building
look how red you are are you really that nervous yeah
this one is one of the freshest ones off the board and i'm pretty excited for it
because it's literally the only board you can get one of two that you can get
that is ddr4 and itx
in 12th gen so as a consumer you are
sol um good old prairie talk there if
you mess it up because it's either this or an asrock board got it you're still
talking and not building
now you want 12 600k that's a pretty gaming focus chip are you planning to do
any kind of content creation or anything like that or just straight gaming it's
going to be a mostly gaming there are times when i want to edit some pictures
and then occasionally make some sort of montage i used to edit all the videos
for our band whenever we were on stage with my phone so i'd shoot it with my
phone and then edit with my phone with adobe rush nice
i think i would spend hours just going
i think six peak course four e-course should be lots for what you're gonna be
doing then i am so nervous you look like you've been drinking like you got that
rosy i was never one for pressure even though
i would be on stage all the time but at the same time this just
is way worse than memorizing songs
have you breathed yet
while you work on SSD and RAM we've got a one terabyte p5 plus along with 32
gigs of crucial ballistics i'll do the hard part of the build okay i'll put the
ipad oh actually you do have a hard part if
you want to put the ipad pro together oh from your lovely friends at dbrand
dbrand says you've got to go to their site for the installation instructions but you know what i have to say to that
hd brand i'm gonna do it yolo style because this
isn't my ipad anyway and i don't care this board has two SSD slots which is
half the reason why i bought it so that i could use this one terabyte now and then upgrade to a two down the line
so i'm guessing just hide the one terabyte in the back here and then that
way i can keep this one out front and open so i don't have to totally take the
motherboard out yes that is definitely what i would do z690 is going to be PCIe
gen4 on both of those SSD slots anyway
so you're not giving up anything by using a a lesser slot because this is a
gen 4 SSD i mean if you really want it to be
tricky you could do the side rails i don't know if i care about that
okay you guys can judge my application are you sure there's an m.2 slot back
here there was supposed to be unless it was double layered up here uh there's no
m tau two slot back here wow so it even looks like an m2 slot
have you been spinning your wheels this entire time okay you did manage to put
the RAM sticks in oh it's double stacked i said i wasn't going to build it for
him but boy are we ever getting dangerously
close to it's time to build it for him
this is a cool color funny thing is when this case came out i had a great idea
for the whole colorway of my entire build that i wanted to do and then
dave2d did it about two weeks later of course he did i'm like well there's the blueprint
after all the times you've been blamed for compatibility issues and other
people's extremetech upgrades what are the odds that yours is going to have
compatibility problems uh i can tell you one right away my pci gen 4 cable never
ships so we have to boot this without the GPU to start oh
but that's the only thing that's pretty minor you think this is going to fit uh
yeah we did a test build you did a test build remember we have one of these at
the office so we kind of use that as the demo so you're sure it will all fit yep
i want to see this cooler fit this is an aio and the case is aio compatible
there's just two ways it can go ek's ai o is a
little bulkier than your typical aio like look at this
thing so we can either go side mount and then just go normal GPU or we could go
vertical mount GPU skip the whole gen 4 riser cable we want to go vertical mount
GPU if we go vertical mount GPU then we have to boot into gen 3 and then that's
a whole issue that's not a hassle that's fine and then that way it kind of looks
cool if we do it the normal way then the pump's in the right
order because otherwise the rad can either go in one or two spots either
along the side here yeah or down here in the bottom which we did the test build
with if you want the cool look of the GPU vertically mounted on the side then
i think it's fine to put the wrap in the bottom um rad screws are here yep and then the
separate 12th gen bracket is tucked away in the box as well because unlike
everybody else's build i made sure to grab the bracket which was in a nice big
pile of bags next to the aios and they were right
there the whole time did you just blame other people for your confusing
procurement no i didn't put the boxes next to the other one but i did mention
to everybody else who has been using this to go down and ask for the bracket
i'm specifically looking at you sarah you called me out i'm coming right back
by clearing the air and saying it was not my fault it still is compatible you
just forgot the one bag and now i'm vindicated with what a fan
favorite sarah is that's going to cause some heat i don't think anyone's going
to be taking your side no one knows who i am where i came from
or what they do how's it going it's uh it's going good
you know how they say to always cable manage your setup they uh always forget
to tell you how much of a hassle it is when you have to take it apart right now
i have my power bar on the opposite side of the actual holder because it was too
thick and it's about to fall on my face as soon as i take off this LTT cable tie
because the screw i need is right behind it this is not the fault of the LTT
cable tie user error user error oh man i
got all distracted and i ended up took the screws out of the one i've already
installed dang it as you can see i am helping a lot i am
going just as slow as you now i don't know what it is it's cursed
what does this even screw into also it stinks oh matt yeah
in this case yeah does the vertical GPU
just hang out there yeah i think it just hangs out there that can't be right
yeah it literally just says to insert into the PCIe slot and then insert into
the GPU and call it a day well thank goodness i got a small GPU
that is absolutely
wild also i'm a little less concerned about the
horrible horrible tubing routing i
realized once we've got our GPU in here we're not going to see any of that this
is great would you go with 360 ti yup
very nice very nice 1440p gaming right there
everyone was like oh but you're not going to see the RGB off of the aio and
then to that i say neon strip hopefully this is cool the
case has two different spots where you can put the power supply bracket
depending on whether you have an sfx that's what we've got here with the 92
millimeter fan or an sfx l power supply
the longer one that uses a 120 millimeter fan and what's nice about
that for us is that instead of having the power
supply down lower like this where the modular cables are very likely to
interfere with our thick fan on the radiator down here
we can just move it up and that'll buy us some extra space which we really need
you're gonna love the colorway i guarantee it oh i do love the colors this is amazing
how cute is that i don't know quite how this happened but
i think i'm just about done suddenly there's an entire pc in front of me now
this is gonna go in man you gotta line up these little
tabs at the bottom come on buddy ah there you go
there you go little buddy you know what i bet i could get those top fans in
there without even the covers let's go for it one of the main purchases that i
did as part of this upgrade was this andover audio spin base turntable
speaker okay so tell me this
were you into vinyl records before it got all trendy recently or are you a
bandwagon hopper 50 50. no pick a lane
my dad always had a stash just chilling in there that's your dad that's not you
he kept showing me them but we never had a record player of our own to actually
start listening to them again and it was the same for miranda as well and the
cool part about this is that they've designed
a way so that you can have your whole speaker resting on your stand
and then your record player will go right on top and now you have
speaker out here speaker out from here and a speaker up from here it'll give
you 270 degree audio and one very nice knob to use now i'll confess something
in spite of the recent trend i have not listened to a vinyl record since i was a
small child and my aunt or my dad or someone put one on for me and i went wow
it's like a big cd that sounds crappier i issue then to you this challenge
convert me let's hear it okay let's do a comparison then
in the meantime i've got an update for you guys i wanted this sfxl spot here
but what i realized is this top fan is actually interfering with the power
cable when i have it plugged in here so what i'm going to try and do
is without disturbing anything else i'm going to try and unhook this
scooch it down one and screw it back in
which will hopefully give me enough clearance ready one two three yes
success and both of these fans will spin
okay we'll work on that
okay i think i've probably heard enough that i can now listen to that i think
the best thing i can say about the record sound quality is that i can't
really tell the difference matt what are you doing
yeah i'm cleaning the record because i wait what that's not a controlled before
and after a piece of fuzz landed on it okay i get your argument for digital now
but still it takes this long to play a song look
if it helps at all matt probably half of the audience out there
is siding with you right now what about the other half the other half
is like this is the stupidest thing ever
yeah yeah yeah that would be probably the other half
dude it's skipping there is a skip on the disc it's right at the seam of the color
it will hit so i always skip this song
it's proving his point i know
i don't want to be that guy but i think your old speaker sounded
better definitely better bass here
um but those sound really good the one thing about these old speakers is the
fact that they ruined the aesthetic of the living room there's not much for
neon green here other than gregory i'm so disappointed right now
really this what we're going with this because it looks better you go to all
the trouble to get actual gigantic
music pancakes because of the so-called sound yep and
then you're like no i would rather use an inferior speaker because it looks
better there is eq on the back
consolation prize
what the hell is this i have no idea how
i'm gonna manage to flatten this enough to get that pop-on
panel in there okay i lied i have some idea just apply more force oh that's
kind of neat it's just symmetrical so you could actually get two of these and
you could put them on both sides if you really wanted to um
you know how you say not to close the side panel oh
do you think there's a space along the top oh i see
uh it could be done quick update the desk is now a desk and i just need to
fix the monitor ARM because it's set too deep because my old desk was a lot
deeper than this one and we'll quickly hang up some posters and we'll be good
for the computer okay that seems
good enough right not bad let's take it in
you're letting ploof be a bad influence on you
you got the vinyls now you got the fancy
goofy keyboard cable why is this such a trend
back in my day we hid cables we didn't want to see them
you kids today you have the privilege of wireless interfaces that are literally
faster than a wire and you go and you put wires all over it
how you kids make it out in here pretty good
well okay that's that's fair i walked into that
i mean you did you walked into the world who is this nothing a color is this a bit
a mouse pad did you see the color of the keyboard or
the cables i guess we don't really have anything
in this color scheme we need more colors i know you
we had a white one in development i don't know this uh yeah rubberized
backing doesn't it doesn't doesn't quite go up to snuff but you don't want to fix
the LTT grade
it's harder to move now but that won't be the only keyboard on here you're
gonna have more than one keyboard i'm going to pull a proof right now i will
have two keyboards on my desk you want to see the second keyboard i mean i
guess what choice do i have you're gonna show it to me keyboard number two
it's a roland it's a rollin i am getting these speakers wired up
mackie cr3s you've seen the bluetooth versions in
nicole's video and you will see the same white bluetooth versions
in jeff's videos so make sure you're subscribed for that as
well he will be doing a very well themed pc build
is this like the new generation of kick me post-its
okay what do you think is it gonna power on first try
oh crap oh power needs to be on oh
you're one of those psychos who unplugs or turns off power
bars yay it's up whoa all RAM is detected got
that 4.5 gigahertz frequency i feel like
we've missed some stuff though we've got some philips hue bulbs to add and
this backpack
oh okay a gopro lens hold on reach
inside the cavern that's the main ticket oh
so i picked up the hero 10 black and then you also picked up a zve10 camera
what is this boy for so this one uh you probably saw this in plus video as well
it is pretty much a point-and-shoot it has a little auto-focus button here to
help de-blur your background uh because i'm still learning how to use an actual
camera and not just my phone it's also really good because you can just plug it
in on USB-C and use it as a webcam or stream cam cool
now it's time for the part of this extreme tech upgrade where we have the
big transformation we're going from the old tcl tv to
the sony x90j movie magic
okay we went from a 65-inch black mirror to a 65-inch black mirror but this one's
way better while the old stolen from the office model was a 4k set this one will
do 4k 120 hertz and
with sony's markedly better image processing now i couldn't help noticing
that the stand for the tv doesn't really fit on this glass tempered glass doodad
you've got here no and that's the sad part is that this is part of it there's
no way to take it off or anything so we will have to cheat the soundbar a little
bit for the sake of this oh wow tv security
we're good okay okay i mean it kind of looks like it's
hovering there it actually sort of works it looks kind of like it's it's already
got kind of a tiered foot design on it anyway
yeah i think it kind of works okay and now the tv is actually resting on the
stand i love that we didn't have to wall mount the tv today
wow i mean obviously we cheated it a little in the editing but that really
was the easiest and fastest tv upgrade we've done for Intel extremetech upgrade
the only hard part is the cable management yeah are you having some
cables ever look how well i've cable manage them i have to undo that first
i'm going to go unpack light bulbs apparently the coolest stick with these
boys from philips is that you don't actually need their hub you can just
connect to them via bluetooth how exactly that works i truthfully
do not know because i would still think you'd need a hub if you want to control
them and you're not like within a couple of feet of them i'm a
bit of a short boy i don't know if i'm going to be able to do this
nope violating company policy right now
you're not allowed to make me feel short you know we said we weren't going to make a mess for a change and i consider
this a success it's really not that bad right brandon
i mean you can totally get at the sink in the kitchen
yeah look at that water
it's good for your LTT Store water bottle right there yeah go buy a water
bottle seriously i got to pay for the lab oh did we finally get it working
yep okay choose your subscriptions
uh definitely got that crazy tv
no no you don't have fubo tv right now okay
whatever that is acoustic auto calibration oh
okay well we should probably sit where you would sit then i just realized
something i can't believe i didn't call you on this earlier you have your tv
mounted above a fireplace oh i thought i
was gonna go the whole video without you noticing it
it's a pretty low fireplace yes it's not like it's a whole wall type of thing
like how marx is but but when i sat down and actually tried to watch tv i was
like you're looking at the switch uh you were just benedict arnolded here
i've just been informed there's something else stolen from the office in
this room that i haven't found yet
no he'll find it orange orange you say yeah
orange well it's not that one wheel we don't have any one wheels
there's a ShortCircuit it's the one wheel what that was stolen
those are expensive it's on loan it's on loan yeah what does that even
mean it means no one wanted to try it out no one wanted to try it and no one
asked me if i wanted to try it man i gotta say leave it to the procurement
team to procure one heck of an upgrade living room tv looks
so much better you've got the wicked gaming
pc that's gonna be perfect for 1440p gaming you've now got a 65-inch tv in
the bedroom and the gaming pc and the
living room tv managed to not end up sounding worse
you can't say the same for the turntable but hey you win some you lose some right i
personally still think that the turntable sounds great i think it's a
win i personally think it's a win if you guys enjoyed this Intel xtreme tech
upgrade check out Intel there down in the video description obviously you guys
know what they make cpus now gpus man
wireless chip sets what doesn't until make kind of crazy and if you're looking
for another video to watch maybe check out brandon's Intel extremetech upgrade
he shot for us today but he was on the other side of the camera for that and it
was it was a gong show i blame matt
