WEBVTT 00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:08.960 it's clear at this point that Society is on the brink of collapse the wealthy 00:00:05.819 --> 00:00:12.240 Elites have all run away to New Zealand 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.580 leaving the rest of us plebs defend for 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 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 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.740 my bunker playing follow another settlement has seen word that they need 00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:31.980 assuming I survive the nuclear fallout 00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:34.500 meet the prepper PC it's designed to 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:40.739 stand up to all the main apocalypses zombie alien Financial it'll Outlast 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:45.719 them all and it's brought to you by jackery okay tricked out might have been 00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:51.719 overselling it a little bit but this Pony does have one really cool trick up 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:54.000 the sleeve it's super efficient in a 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:58.920 full-blown gaming scenario this bad boy will draw only about a hundred Watts 00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:02.399 remember 100 Watts only powered a freaking light bulb we achieved this 00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:07.080 using a combination of careful Hardware selection and software tuning starting 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:12.000 with our power supply this fanless unit from seasonic is 80 plus titanium 00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:17.520 certified for efficiency and can output a total of 700 Watts not that we need 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 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 00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:32.820 actually super efficient and capable 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.520 gaming CPU then for our GPU it was a 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 00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:45.540 win for Team Green but like our CPU which is undervolted to maximize 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:49.799 performance per watt running an offset of minus 80 millivolts our GPU needs to 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.320 be tuned since that's the most power hungry component in our system and what 00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:57.960 we found was that 1800 megahertz at 825 00:01:55.320 --> 00:02:04.140 millivolts is a great sweet spot for playable 1080p gaming while just sipping 00:02:01.619 --> 00:02:09.179 power and the 3050 just edged out the 6500 XT every unnecessary motherboard 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.900 port was disabled in the BIOS including removing the Wi-Fi module outright I 00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:17.099 mean what are you gonna connect to the hotspot at Starbucks 00:02:14.420 --> 00:02:23.400 post-apocalyptic world and finally the stock fans in this old antec 900 V2 draw 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.500 a whopping 6 watts each so so we took 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.580 their power leaves coiled them up and replaced them with some nice efficient 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 00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:39.180 case which is hopefully going to be enough to cool not only our system but 00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:40.560 also our burial enclosure let's talk 00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:46.260 about that for the ultimate in protection from the 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:51.120 elements and concealment from looters and brigands we determined that burying 00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:55.379 our gaming system would be the best course of action we settled on a truck 00:02:53.220 --> 00:03:00.300 bed toolbox for a couple of main reasons one is that it's made of aluminum 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.980 meaning that this will never rust and two at only 150 Canadian dollars this is 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:09.959 just one of the most economical ways to get your hands on a large weather 00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:12.239 resistant enclosure can fit so much PC 00:03:09.959 --> 00:03:17.780 in there is there a safety 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.780 Safety Red gets our gaming PC 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 00:03:22.739 --> 00:03:25.739 stay 00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:33.180 good boy on the other side ah yes this 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:38.760 is how we are going to stay entirely self-sufficient for power the Explorer 00:03:35.459 --> 00:03:42.659 2000 Pro can easily handle the load of 00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:44.959 both our PC and our Monitor and 00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:52.440 a maximum of 2200 Watts sustained 4 400 watts Peak 00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:54.659 and the second we plug in one of jackery 00:03:52.440 --> 00:04:00.720 solar panels it turns from a power station into 00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:03.060 a solar generator now obviously we need 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:06.420 to run jackery's cables along with their little consolidation boxes here outside 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 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 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.880 out without risking any water seeping into our enclosure that would be an 00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:24.780 extremely bad time this is not a water cooled setup of course to be air-cooled 00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:29.460 we're going to need a cooling fan so we're adding another 00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:29.460 ah 00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:37.320 there it goes of our Noctua industrial 00:04:33.419 --> 00:04:39.900 PPC fans this time directly to the vent 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 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 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:52.620 just chill on a lawn chair in my backyard playing video games if the 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:56.880 zombies are wandering around they're gonna find me like that so I would like 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 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:05.400 easily trench my way back to the interior of the building fortunately the 00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:09.720 previous owners of this house plumbed the mechanical room for pool equipment 00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:16.320 running these PVC pipes out to the backyard unfortunately these are not the 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 00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:22.100 of these is in my yard 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.440 oh it stinks what the hell 00:05:28.440 --> 00:05:33.479 here we go oh look at that let's see you 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 00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:42.240 able to see up my nose ew oh nice 00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:43.620 unrealing it tells us how deep we are oh 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:50.419 I haven't shown you guys the coolest trick yet where's the diving Rod we 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.419 power up this boy the navi track 00:05:55.380 --> 00:06:01.860 okay and then now see that you can see 00:05:58.979 --> 00:06:08.419 the end of the thing huh wait are you sure it turns I'm right 00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:08.419 well how do we go around the corner 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:17.000 really how do we get it to like Bend 00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:17.000 please oh okay sure I'll try 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.319 this fish stick is wet I think I'll wash my hands before eating 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 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 00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:41.220 first turn and feet 30 feet that's far enough to reach 00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:44.960 outside right I think they figure 25. 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:46.919 oh oh I saw a light what is it 00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:51.180 73 feet that's the end let's go find it 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.500 they told me at the shop that aside from lining up the Crosshair I want this 00:06:52.979 --> 00:06:58.860 number as high as possible why did the contractors tell me this was so hard 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 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.600 there 00:07:05.539 --> 00:07:09.440 digging like a man 00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:17.039 fast as I can we're locked in here boys 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 00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:26.460 very tough soil please take it like a 00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:33.660 man oh yeah we're getting in there there's a good one boys 00:07:29.580 --> 00:07:37.139 oh yes okay wanna dividend Road me three 00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:39.180 feet deep what the 00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:42.020 okay how are you doing is this the right spot now at least 00:07:43.020 --> 00:07:50.639 put in a half oh there's a good one whoa 00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:51.419 Nelly she's a Bronco oh there it 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.380 is okay can I have a shovel oh there's 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 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 00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:11.120 yeah that means the extra foot is that 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.120 way 00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:20.660 oh my God this soil is atrocious how was 00:08:17.940 --> 00:08:25.199 this a garden beautifully insulated water bottle from 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.919 ltdstore.com my ice that I put in it earlier 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 00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:37.099 plumber but what I am is the world's worst Woodsman ready here we go 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 00:08:49.380 --> 00:08:54.839 can use these other ones for like whatever right I mean hell they need 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 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 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 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:13.380 snake ah and now I'm going to tie everything else that I need we should 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 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 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:25.019 a standard momentary PC power switch and 00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:28.920 then soldered it to 100 feet of speaker wire 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 00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:40.560 need to stop keep hauling this is freaking awesome I got a wired up yarn 00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:43.440 this would have been a way way better 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 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:52.200 the whole thing would have just been underground okay there it is power 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:57.380 switch Optical DisplayPort fiber optic USB time to finish burying the PC oh 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.360 our cables into the box obviously we don't want the excess to sitting in the 00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:07.980 ground we just get our PC in here oh and you 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:12.180 guys are sure this is gonna work hey the power switch hey thanks cable mod cool 00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:17.519 orange power cable whoop there we go I am a huge fan of these 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 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.620 single just run-of-the-mill fiber optic 00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:30.180 cable now I want to do a test before we 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 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 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 00:10:40.260 --> 00:10:46.980 panels and our output to our gaming rig also before we bury this whole thing 00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:51.899 we'd like to do a quick test of our solar power generation capabilities but 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:55.620 the sun has kind of gone down already so we're gonna play into our whole 00:10:53.640 --> 00:11:00.060 apocalyptic narrative and say well there's probably a cloud of particulate 00:10:57.959 --> 00:11:04.800 matter in the sky causing permanent overcast let's see how much power we can 00:11:02.579 --> 00:11:08.700 generate these things are legit super cool sponsored talking points aside my 00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:11.880 dad uses one of these jackery solar generators at their off-grid cabin so he 00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:15.720 charges up his sleep apnea machine during day and then at night he runs his 00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:18.600 machine charge all their phones do all that good stuff rinse and repeat go go 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 00:11:20.579 --> 00:11:26.279 Sun a little oh damn it 00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:34.500 I'm making it worse not better get the out of the way kickstand 00:11:29.660 --> 00:11:36.740 oh it appears to be full also how'd all 00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:41.640 this dirt get on the computer all right post-apocalyptic gamers are 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 00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:48.779 do a switch on the back of the power supply 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:52.680 is good okay well that's good because that's relatively simple to solve so 00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:57.180 let's just give her a replug okay hit it again 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 00:12:00.060 --> 00:12:06.839 explore some kind of relay system to have a fully functional power switch in 00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:10.140 the meantime let's see if at least our cooling works 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 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:18.720 offline only forever PC Counter-Strike Global Offensive rocket League Halo and 00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:23.820 anyone else feeling that you'd probably be the coolest guy in post-apocalyptic 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 00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:34.200 settling for high settings here we could do more 120 FPS with that said even 00:12:32.339 --> 00:12:40.019 though it's running at this frame rate I can definitely feel that the frame 00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:41.940 pacing is not super even and that's 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 00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:50.399 at its best wow we were at 132 Watts we 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 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 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 00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:09.540 not problematic at all we're at like 50 degrees on our GPU freaking awesome also 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:12.899 we are still not getting any input from our solar panels I guess because we're 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.680 too charged we might have to shoot a quick pickup to see how much power we 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:21.300 can generate without the solar generator part of our generator either way this 00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:25.440 was it the prepper PC did it make perfect sense probably not so much but 00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:29.040 darn it we had an awful lot of fun making it shout out jackery for 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:32.339 sponsoring this video and you for watching it it's time for me to play 00:13:30.540 --> 00:13:35.880 some Duma Turtle it's the end of the world laughs
