1 00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:08,960 it's clear at this point that Society is on the brink of collapse the wealthy 2 00:00:05,819 --> 00:00:12,240 Elites have all run away to New Zealand 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,580 leaving the rest of us plebs defend for 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,619 ourselves well I for one welcome the end of the world as we know it all I need is 5 00:00:16,859 --> 00:00:23,580 food water and a tricked out gaming PC so I can live out the rest of my days in 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,740 my bunker playing follow another settlement has seen word that they need 7 00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:31,980 assuming I survive the nuclear fallout 8 00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:34,500 meet the prepper PC it's designed to 9 00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:40,739 stand up to all the main apocalypses zombie alien Financial it'll Outlast 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:45,719 them all and it's brought to you by jackery okay tricked out might have been 11 00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:51,719 overselling it a little bit but this Pony does have one really cool trick up 12 00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:54,000 the sleeve it's super efficient in a 13 00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:58,920 full-blown gaming scenario this bad boy will draw only about a hundred Watts 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,399 remember 100 Watts only powered a freaking light bulb we achieved this 15 00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:07,080 using a combination of careful Hardware selection and software tuning starting 16 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:12,000 with our power supply this fanless unit from seasonic is 80 plus titanium 17 00:01:09,659 --> 00:01:17,520 certified for efficiency and can output a total of 700 Watts not that we need 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,500 that but it's going to help us manage our thermals more on that later for our 19 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:29,400 CPU we've gone with an Intel 12th gen hold on before you freak out twelve 100 20 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:32,820 actually super efficient and capable 21 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,520 gaming CPU then for our GPU it was a 22 00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:41,400 tight race between the RTX 3050 and the Radeon 6500 XT at stock it was an easy 23 00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:45,540 win for Team Green but like our CPU which is undervolted to maximize 24 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,799 performance per watt running an offset of minus 80 millivolts our GPU needs to 25 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,320 be tuned since that's the most power hungry component in our system and what 26 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,960 we found was that 1800 megahertz at 825 27 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:04,140 millivolts is a great sweet spot for playable 1080p gaming while just sipping 28 00:02:01,619 --> 00:02:09,179 power and the 3050 just edged out the 6500 XT every unnecessary motherboard 29 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,900 port was disabled in the BIOS including removing the Wi-Fi module outright I 30 00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:17,099 mean what are you gonna connect to the hotspot at Starbucks 31 00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:23,400 post-apocalyptic world and finally the stock fans in this old antec 900 V2 draw 32 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,500 a whopping 6 watts each so so we took 33 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,580 their power leaves coiled them up and replaced them with some nice efficient 34 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,660 Nautilus we've got one in our nhd-15 cooler and a second up in the top of the 35 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:39,180 case which is hopefully going to be enough to cool not only our system but 36 00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:40,560 also our burial enclosure let's talk 37 00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:46,260 about that for the ultimate in protection from the 38 00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:51,120 elements and concealment from looters and brigands we determined that burying 39 00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:55,379 our gaming system would be the best course of action we settled on a truck 40 00:02:53,220 --> 00:03:00,300 bed toolbox for a couple of main reasons one is that it's made of aluminum 41 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,980 meaning that this will never rust and two at only 150 Canadian dollars this is 42 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,959 just one of the most economical ways to get your hands on a large weather 43 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,239 resistant enclosure can fit so much PC 44 00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:17,780 in there is there a safety 45 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,780 Safety Red gets our gaming PC 46 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:25,739 we printed a bracket or something to hold it in place but we didn't so uh 47 00:03:22,739 --> 00:03:25,739 stay 48 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:33,180 good boy on the other side ah yes this 49 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:38,760 is how we are going to stay entirely self-sufficient for power the Explorer 50 00:03:35,459 --> 00:03:42,659 2000 Pro can easily handle the load of 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,959 both our PC and our Monitor and 52 00:03:42,659 --> 00:03:52,440 a maximum of 2200 Watts sustained 4 400 watts Peak 53 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,659 and the second we plug in one of jackery 54 00:03:52,440 --> 00:04:00,720 solar panels it turns from a power station into 55 00:03:57,180 --> 00:04:03,060 a solar generator now obviously we need 56 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,420 to run jackery's cables along with their little consolidation boxes here outside 57 00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:12,720 because we're not going to get a whole lot of sun underground so for that we've actually modified our box with these two 58 00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:17,639 gooseneck vents these will help us get air in and out as well as cables in and 59 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:20,880 out without risking any water seeping into our enclosure that would be an 60 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,780 extremely bad time this is not a water cooled setup of course to be air-cooled 61 00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:29,460 we're going to need a cooling fan so we're adding another 62 00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:29,460 ah 63 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:37,320 there it goes of our Noctua industrial 64 00:04:33,419 --> 00:04:39,900 PPC fans this time directly to the vent 65 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:45,720 on the other side so intake over on that side exhaust over here next to our PC 66 00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:49,080 now we need a dig site and this is a big decision because as much as I'd love to 67 00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:52,620 just chill on a lawn chair in my backyard playing video games if the 68 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,880 zombies are wandering around they're gonna find me like that so I would like 69 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,620 to hide out in the basement of my house which means I need a spot where I can 70 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,400 easily trench my way back to the interior of the building fortunately the 71 00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:09,720 previous owners of this house plumbed the mechanical room for pool equipment 72 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:16,320 running these PVC pipes out to the backyard unfortunately these are not the 73 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:22,100 other ends of them and we have no idea where they go eeny meeny miny marred one 74 00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:22,100 of these is in my yard 75 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:31,440 oh it stinks what the hell 76 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,479 here we go oh look at that let's see you 77 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,300 do camera work like that David can we get one of those goodness we're gonna be 78 00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:42,240 able to see up my nose ew oh nice 79 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:43,620 unrealing it tells us how deep we are oh 80 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:50,419 I haven't shown you guys the coolest trick yet where's the diving Rod we 81 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,419 power up this boy the navi track 82 00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:01,860 okay and then now see that you can see 83 00:05:58,979 --> 00:06:08,419 the end of the thing huh wait are you sure it turns I'm right 84 00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:08,419 well how do we go around the corner 85 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:17,000 really how do we get it to like Bend 86 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:17,000 please oh okay sure I'll try 87 00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:25,319 this fish stick is wet I think I'll wash my hands before eating 88 00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:29,940 any more of my hot dog come on sneaky boy I think it's actually the spring 89 00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:35,160 kind of catching on the ridge we have an idea to kind of bend it around that 90 00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:41,220 first turn and feet 30 feet that's far enough to reach 91 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,960 outside right I think they figure 25. 92 00:06:41,220 --> 00:06:46,919 oh oh I saw a light what is it 93 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,180 73 feet that's the end let's go find it 94 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:55,500 they told me at the shop that aside from lining up the Crosshair I want this 95 00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:58,860 number as high as possible why did the contractors tell me this was so hard 96 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,600 it's right here I mean I guess we have to actually dig and see if it isn't back 97 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,600 there 98 00:07:05,539 --> 00:07:09,440 digging like a man 99 00:07:10,039 --> 00:07:17,039 fast as I can we're locked in here boys 100 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:23,940 oh yeah pretty sure I got at least like two rocks where'd my mark go this is um 101 00:07:20,819 --> 00:07:26,460 very tough soil please take it like a 102 00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:33,660 man oh yeah we're getting in there there's a good one boys 103 00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:37,139 oh yes okay wanna dividend Road me three 104 00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:39,180 feet deep what the 105 00:07:37,139 --> 00:07:42,020 okay how are you doing is this the right spot now at least 106 00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:50,639 put in a half oh there's a good one whoa 107 00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:51,419 Nelly she's a Bronco oh there it 108 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:57,380 is okay can I have a shovel oh there's 109 00:07:54,599 --> 00:08:04,020 they're all here all my friends are here wait is this too many one two three four 110 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:09,000 five six hold on hold on no no this one over here seems to be more irrigation 111 00:08:05,699 --> 00:08:11,120 yeah that means the extra foot is that 112 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,120 way 113 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:20,660 oh my God this soil is atrocious how was 114 00:08:17,940 --> 00:08:25,199 this a garden beautifully insulated water bottle from 115 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,919 ltdstore.com my ice that I put in it earlier 116 00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:32,820 it's not melting thirsty we don't have any Plumbing tools because I'm not a 117 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:37,099 plumber but what I am is the world's worst Woodsman ready here we go 118 00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:51,000 this is awesome these things are so cool who says Tech has to be computer tech I 119 00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:54,839 can use these other ones for like whatever right I mean hell they need 120 00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:58,620 power out there so I'll be like hey by the way couldn't help doing your job for 121 00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:01,680 you the context for that is that I asked the contractors over a year ago to find 122 00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:09,660 out where these go they were like oh very complicated I have tied my DisplayPort cable to my 123 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,380 snake ah and now I'm going to tie everything else that I need we should 124 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:16,080 definitely run that piece of string so I don't need to go rent a 300 snake if I 125 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:23,040 ever need to run anything through here again now I'm assured this works but I've never actually tried it we've taken 126 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,019 a standard momentary PC power switch and 127 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,920 then soldered it to 100 feet of speaker wire 128 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:33,540 all right calinan let's do it keep going nice and slow I'll call out stop if you 129 00:09:30,899 --> 00:09:40,560 need to stop keep hauling this is freaking awesome I got a wired up yarn 130 00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:43,440 this would have been a way way better 131 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,500 path to the water cooling for the walls of the pool it's right there and then 132 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:52,200 the whole thing would have just been underground okay there it is power 133 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:57,380 switch Optical DisplayPort fiber optic USB time to finish burying the PC oh 134 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,360 our cables into the box obviously we don't want the excess to sitting in the 135 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,980 ground we just get our PC in here oh and you 136 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:12,180 guys are sure this is gonna work hey the power switch hey thanks cable mod cool 137 00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:17,519 orange power cable whoop there we go I am a huge fan of these 138 00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:25,620 fiber optic USB extenders from ikron they can do USB 3 USB 2 and USB 1 over a 139 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,620 single just run-of-the-mill fiber optic 140 00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:30,180 cable now I want to do a test before we 141 00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:33,959 actually lower it all the way into the hole we've got it braced across the hole 142 00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:37,560 right now so we got a webcam with a ring light in here I'm just going to put that 143 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:42,720 right there so we can keep an eye on what our power input is from our solar 144 00:10:40,260 --> 00:10:46,980 panels and our output to our gaming rig also before we bury this whole thing 145 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:51,899 we'd like to do a quick test of our solar power generation capabilities but 146 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:55,620 the sun has kind of gone down already so we're gonna play into our whole 147 00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:00,060 apocalyptic narrative and say well there's probably a cloud of particulate 148 00:10:57,959 --> 00:11:04,800 matter in the sky causing permanent overcast let's see how much power we can 149 00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:08,700 generate these things are legit super cool sponsored talking points aside my 150 00:11:06,899 --> 00:11:11,880 dad uses one of these jackery solar generators at their off-grid cabin so he 151 00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:15,720 charges up his sleep apnea machine during day and then at night he runs his 152 00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:18,600 machine charge all their phones do all that good stuff rinse and repeat go go 153 00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:23,700 yeah let's go that way as much as we can hey because we might as well be in the 154 00:11:20,579 --> 00:11:26,279 Sun a little oh damn it 155 00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:34,500 I'm making it worse not better get the out of the way kickstand 156 00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:36,740 oh it appears to be full also how'd all 157 00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:41,640 this dirt get on the computer all right post-apocalyptic gamers are 158 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,880 you ready this better work if it doesn't work then I don't know what we're gonna 159 00:11:43,019 --> 00:11:48,779 do a switch on the back of the power supply 160 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:52,680 is good okay well that's good because that's relatively simple to solve so 161 00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:57,180 let's just give her a replug okay hit it again 162 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:02,100 ah oh my God there's a rock in the fan ah ah looks like we would need to 163 00:12:00,060 --> 00:12:06,839 explore some kind of relay system to have a fully functional power switch in 164 00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:10,140 the meantime let's see if at least our cooling works 165 00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:14,339 I don't know that these are necessarily the games that I would have put on an 166 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,720 offline only forever PC Counter-Strike Global Offensive rocket League Halo and 167 00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:23,820 anyone else feeling that you'd probably be the coolest guy in post-apocalyptic 168 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:29,040 Ville if you had a gaming PC either that or the deadest guy man why are we 169 00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:34,200 settling for high settings here we could do more 120 FPS with that said even 170 00:12:32,339 --> 00:12:40,019 though it's running at this frame rate I can definitely feel that the frame 171 00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:41,940 pacing is not super even and that's 172 00:12:40,019 --> 00:12:48,300 going to be in no small part thanks to our under voltage GPU this is not a 3050 173 00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:50,399 at its best wow we were at 132 Watts we 174 00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:55,200 fell all the way down to 85 Watts here not too bad we are running Windows in 175 00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:59,040 low power mode how much of a difference that makes I don't know Jake said it 176 00:12:57,060 --> 00:13:04,019 made a difference I didn't validate it how we doing for temps oh my God this is 177 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:09,540 not problematic at all we're at like 50 degrees on our GPU freaking awesome also 178 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,899 we are still not getting any input from our solar panels I guess because we're 179 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:16,680 too charged we might have to shoot a quick pickup to see how much power we 180 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:21,300 can generate without the solar generator part of our generator either way this 181 00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:25,440 was it the prepper PC did it make perfect sense probably not so much but 182 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:29,040 darn it we had an awful lot of fun making it shout out jackery for 183 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,339 sponsoring this video and you for watching it it's time for me to play 184 00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:35,880 some Duma Turtle it's the end of the world laughs
