00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,279
we are kicking off a very exciting episode of Linus tech tips today we have

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,040
the one and only seth curry now tell me something have you ever done a celebrity

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,679
pc build before i have not man i'm excited about it i'm excited about i'm

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,039
kind of stepping out to a different world something i know nothing about and if it goes well maybe someday you'll get

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:21,760
to do one with someone really cool like jay's two cents

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,800
tell me something we are gonna build a top of the line gaming rig today why do

7
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,840
you even need something that crazy some big time game when i'm growing in the space i know last year doing the

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,399
pandemic and in the bubble i got into pc gaming i just want to learn more about

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,840
it you know what i'm saying have you ever even installed a graphics card before or is this it i haven't this is

10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,960
like i said i'm a rookie hopefully i'll learn a lot and get better today maybe i

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,879
can do it on my own so what have you done to train for this build today i got

12
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:54,079
to be honest i'm not i'm not too uh prepared like i said i know i got an

13
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:57,680
expert here that's going to walk me through it teach me the ways i'm gonna

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,960
have some questions for you as we go but i'm i'm as rookie in as as they come so

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,479
many people want to get into pc gaming but they have no idea where to start and

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:09,840
they feel like they're going to ask a stupid question and someone's going to

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,280
someone's going to hate on them or whatever but that's your job today isn't

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,720
it yeah that's one of the reasons i'm here that's why i'm doing it and i want to get to know the

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,920
finite details so you got to find your motherboard the box here that says

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,439
motherboard on it so i'm assuming it's that one real quick real quick what tools do i

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,680
need before we get started like the basic screwdriver i love this she's

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,920
asking all the right questions already okay yes pretty much all you're going to

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,159
need is a screwdriver if you want to get into cable management stuff like that

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,240
you might need some side cutters to you know clip off your zip ties an

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,439
anti-static wrist or ankle strap is kind of

26
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:50,479
recommended so i got to be careful messing around i got do i need to take

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,040
my watch off what like you kind of scared me a little

28
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:57,920
no you're good with your watch your power supply is over on your left okay

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,520
and it's the one that says 1 000 watts on the front and very shiny hollow foil

30
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,560
there you go you got it right here fantastic so start by opening that

31
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:11,280
sucker up all the ASUS gifs and the stickers and all that come included yeah

32
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,319
this is not the right one oh they took it out oh wait what they

33
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,520
took the power supply out yeah it's just cool i was a little confused when i opened those cords but

34
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,840
okay here we go they robbed you of the unboxing experience i don't know all

35
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,360
right i want you to find the power cord that goes into that three pin plug yep

36
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,800
that's the one yeah so we're just gonna plug this power supply into the wall as

37
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,160
though we were gonna power up the system okay but we're not going to power up the

38
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,519
system hopefully there's a power outlet somewhere kind of nearby i would assume

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,840
yeah i hope so there's one down here but i might need an extension cord

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,800
they got this that's okay in the meantime why don't i walk you through

41
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:56,720
some of the cables you're going to plug into the other side okay you've got what's called a modular power supply and

42
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,360
it's good for cooling it's good for cable management and it's good for just

43
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:05,120
having a really clean nice looking build yeah that is key can i just say i'm

44
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,360
having so much fun already it's early and we're kicking it off with a bang you

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,280
are doing awesome okay you want to find the thickest one looks like this one

46
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,440
here that's your 24 pin connector so go ahead and untie that guy got it every

47
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,840
computer build needs one of those these days so the one that splits apart that

48
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,920
one goes into the power supply pc manufacturers are smart like that they

49
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:29,440
mostly make it so you can't screw it up too bad okay and they should have little

50
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,840
like they have little keys on them and then in the back of the power supply there there'll be like a little notch

51
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:41,440
right there yep perfect yep okay we're in it's so cool for other people i think

52
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,200
to see someone who's so well coordinated having exactly the same down struggles

53
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:48,159
that we do because the thing just won't go in the thing i'm gonna catch my

54
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:51,920
rhythm and we're gonna keep it keep it going smooth one of these times i've got

55
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,480
all the exact same parts over here on my side okay so that i can really guide you

56
00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:01,040
here speaking of coaching is it ever kind of tough having your father-in-law

57
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:04,879
as a coach i thought it would be but it's usually harder on my wife than

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,840
anything else after a bad loss if the next day coming over for dinner it can

59
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,840
get a little awkward here and there but so you're going to grab a couple cables

60
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:16,479
that are going to say PCIe on them i got it so the other end where it says psu

61
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,199
that one's gonna go into the power supply next to the one i plugged in uh

62
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,919
yes yep you can use that one fun fact the state of california recently banned

63
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,720
the shipment of systems with graphics cards this powerful into the state geez

64
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,000
okay in this power supply i ran out of room at the bottom so now i go up top you bet you've got

65
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:42,720
three connectors here that are labeled CPU slash vga PCIe i think they could

66
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,120
label these better i agree

67
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,919
you have built yourself a beautiful pitch black octopus there

68
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,400
yeah i love it one way to make sure that you keep all your parts safe is to

69
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,800
ground yourself stay grounded i got good traction on my shoes so

70
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:04,240
i wasn't worried about you slipping are you saying for the the the case for

71
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,400
static electricity oh oh so whenever you move around you just want to touch that

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,280
power supply anywhere on the metal part of it and that's gonna ground you we're

73
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,320
gonna go ahead and we're gonna grab the motherboard which was over on your right

74
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:20,479
perfect oh man dude's a natural so you're gonna go ahead and put it down on

75
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,320
top of the box and that's it cardboard does not conduct electricity okay so

76
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,320
that's a safe place to put a motherboard here's one of the biggest challenges of

77
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,440
pc building you got to install the CPU so you play uh play a fair bit of

78
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:35,360
warzone is my understanding is that right i do that's the normal go to game

79
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:39,759
right now this thing is going to slay warzone for you so you're going to be

80
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:41,520
running a core i9 11900k okay oh this

81
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,680
little guy right here that's the one there's one corner of that CPU that's

82
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,759
got a little golden triangle on it i want you to try and find that for me

83
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,880
golden triangle i see it i see it i see it you're going to look at your motherboard and on that little black

84
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,960
piece on the top so on there there's going to be a little imprint of a black

85
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,840
triangle yes okay that's the orientation that we're going

86
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,080
to want okay so now we got to actually install it though my mouth's like cotton

87
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,479
i believe in you though we're gonna get it done trust me so there's a little

88
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,319
metal ARM you wanna pull that out to the side to the side towards the memory

89
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:22,479
slots they're perfect now you see those little pins in there i do so if one of

90
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,160
those pins gets bent that's it dead

91
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:29,039
computer okay so you want to hold the CPU by the edges and try to lower it

92
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,400
kind of perfectly in place with those two triangles aligned he even gave it

93
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,800
the little wiggle without me prompting him that's that's amazing i'm gonna go

94
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,319
ahead and ground myself real quick i love it

95
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,680
yeah there you go just with confidence go forward pull it out and then hook it

96
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,280
under the thing and that black piece should pop off the top okay that's out

97
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,840
of here okay i thought i broke it for a second okay that was the hardest part oh

98
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,720
it's gonna be easy peasy then next thing we're gonna need is our memory we got

99
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:01,360
some Corsair dominator platinum RGB got all the shiny lights on it this looks

100
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:05,199
pretty cool right here 64 gigs that's kind of overkill but it's a little much

101
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,639
see those four slots that are kind of right in front of you there here got it

102
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,639
there's some little tabs there yep you want to pull those back yeah perfect

103
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,440
no which way should it okay yep you were right the first time you got it you're

104
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,440
gonna have to push quite firmly and the tab will snap itself into place yep got

105
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,720
the first one in nice it's like sports you catch a rhythm you keep moving

106
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:28,960
pretty smoothly i don't really follow basketball very closely and so one of my

107
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:31,919
guys had to tell me this before the stream but i heard you actually had a

108
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:35,919
career best game in the playoffs this year yeah i had a career year i had a

109
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:39,039
great series personally i wish we would have won you guys gave him a good fight

110
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,479
though i mean seven games that's not exactly yeah lying down and just letting

111
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,479
them roll over you yeah it was a fun series for sure but um well actually

112
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:52,000
what sports do you watch do you promise not to laugh let me hear it i'm

113
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:53,759
following olympic badminton very closely

114
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,039
wow i've been watching water polo i'm not gonna lie so we're kind of in the

115
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:01,039
same boat there yeah those are both kind of uncool sports but man water polo you

116
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:06,240
got to respect those guys you ever try and play water polo i've never played it

117
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,319
before it is unreal you know imagine egg

118
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,360
beatering yourself up waist high out of the water so you can make a shot like

119
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,000
that like those guys are going yeah that upper body strength is crazy so you've

120
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:21,039
got CPU and memory installed let's find your SSD so it's a seagate fire cuda 520

121
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,440
is what you're looking for this has got two terabytes of storage you can throw a

122
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,520
ton of games on here and if you ever need more you can actually add more i

123
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,039
think this motherboard's got two or maybe actually three m.2 slots on it

124
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,560
four i lied so you're gonna need your screwdriver you'll need a number one

125
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,680
phillips head in it all right i got the one so do you see that piece that says

126
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:47,040
hero yes here i got it right here you're gonna take off the two screws that are

127
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,880
in that hero piece this is what it's gonna look like when it comes off okay

128
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:59,440
there you go i heard that click that's a good question this is a little fella ha ha yet another

129
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,760
evolutionary advantage for small people

130
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:06,399
we can handle computer screws big hands are not an advantage here now would you

131
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,600
consider yourself like a handyman like around the house like are you pretty

132
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,360
handy out of 10 i'll say i'm about a three i can get enough done around the

133
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,800
house to where my wife didn't yell at me well that's kind of the bar isn't it

134
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,160
yeah exactly i've done builds with people before where they just they over

135
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,320
torque that thing because these are little tiny screws so you could strip

136
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,279
the threads off them it's a subtle thing about being

137
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,040
rough enough to get it in there but not overdoing it and i got a good little

138
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,640
touch man we're making really great progress here feeling good about you

139
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:39,600
you're a great teacher man i got to give you your flowers thank you thank you i

140
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:44,480
kind of lied to you before the CPU is not really the hardest part it's just

141
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:49,279
the riskiest part in the very bottom corner of the motherboard there's nine

142
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:55,040
little pins sticking up labeled f panel uh yep f panel right there yeah that

143
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,480
is the hardest part okay i call it f panel because when you're working on it

144
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:03,360
makes you say ah if i wish i wasn't working on this this is another time

145
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,600
where the big hands is at a disadvantage

146
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,600
yeah a little bit i imagine i've never experienced it there's one

147
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,279
that has nothing above it so you ignore that one that's like the smelly kid on

148
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,560
the team you know yeah he plays real good so you gotta you gotta pick him but

149
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,800
like you don't wanna have lunch with him i understand that all right we're

150
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,680
plugged in so i lied to you a little bit before because this is actually going to

151
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:29,200
be kind of the hardest part it sounds like practice when coach says one more thing

152
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,800
and we're done and one more thing and we're done one more thing and we're done

153
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,920
and we got an hour practice we're gonna go find our motherboard screws first

154
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,920
we're gonna be ready

155
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:42,880
can you believe we've been at this for an hour already it's been an hour it's

156
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,640
been an hour without even trying to put the motherboard in i just want you to see if that threads in properly to one

157
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,120
of the posts in the case there it does uh well in the case oh not a screwdriver

158
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,399
in the case perfect okay so right now you've got kind of your case here and

159
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,720
you got your motherboard lying next to it right like this right so you see that

160
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:05,200
rectangular out there yes that's going to line up with all those ports and you

161
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,800
just want to try and see those posts through the holes in the board so we

162
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:13,279
don't want to scrape it around too much ideally because if we scratch the

163
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:16,640
motherboard it can make it not worky anymore you know what i can make this

164
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,760
easier on you we're just gonna lay the case down so let's try that again but

165
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:26,560
with gravity helping rather than oh don't worry we got this they didn't

166
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:31,440
go far i think i got it okay so i couldn't help noticing you're

167
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,519
building like a desktop here how does that work with travel like you

168
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,760
travel a lot right i have a ASUS laptop that i bring on the road and play with

169
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,959
in my hotel room so got it now tell me something as part of your rider do you

170
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,320
have that you need to stay in a hotel that has decent internet

171
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,519
i'll tell you a funny story we were in the bubble and the first two days the

172
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,639
internet was horrible everybody was trying to get on everybody sitting up there it was horrible so i we would

173
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,079
comply complain and the next day they were setting up better wi-fi and they

174
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:03,040
got it done well i wish i had that kind of sway man that's crazy as a pc gamer

175
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:08,079
are you kind of an anomaly like is everyone else xbox it's the primary

176
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:11,519
console so most guys got xbox playstation i could probably count the

177
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:16,079
number of guys in the league that i know personally have a a pc setup or pc

178
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,959
gamers and do you have any idea why that would be i just don't think they know

179
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:22,480
about it honestly i didn't know about pc gaming until a year and a half two years

180
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,920
ago it's like we live in completely different worlds yeah one of my friends

181
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:29,279
was telling me all along about pc gaming it was all like coming back to me and

182
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,839
well what do you like about it whatever even attracted you to it the the frames

183
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:37,839
the smoothness of the of the gameplay being able to customize it to how you

184
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,040
personally want to play your games was a big difference in the way i play and i

185
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,240
got a lot better once i got on it so i couldn't turn back you cannot buy an

186
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:51,279
endorsement like that because you're just speaking the truth yeah i thought i thought pc game was was playing sims on

187
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:56,000
a macbook or something like ah it's so mind-blowing to me you can

188
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,560
describe you know high frame rate smoothness to someone but it's the feel

189
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:03,600
exactly so your motherboard's in we're less than an hour and a half into this

190
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,839
mess i broke a little sweat getting on that one that was the hardest part pc

191
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:12,959
building sweat that's a stress sweat yeah and stress sweat it stinks it's a

192
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,079
little worse yeah we're gonna stand the case back up and

193
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:21,040
grab the power supply it's time to install that all right now i gotta

194
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:26,160
confess as kind of a normie my assumption is that you know you guys

195
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:29,120
kind of eat sleep drink breathe

196
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:33,360
basketball yeah you know i just kind of thought hey they probably don't have a

197
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:38,639
ton of time for like hobbies yeah were you always a gamer i use gaming as like

198
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,920
a relaxed time as a recovery time so especially on the road i integrated into

199
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:46,560
him into my routine as far as what i'm doing in the hotel room man okay here's

200
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,440
advantage to the big hand guy yeah

201
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:54,240
i mean you might not realize kind of the jokes i'm making at my expense here i'm

202
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,079
i'm about five six and a half oh okay

203
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,760
when you're five six you count the half all right when you're six two and a half

204
00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:02,560
in the nba i count that half too you know what actually that's a good point i

205
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,240
never really thought about that you're not that tall for an nba player i'm your

206
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,880
average person on the street but a little guy in the nba six two and a half

207
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,040
i need that that extra half so really we're kin right now i understand trust

208
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:19,120
me do you think you're likely to put this

209
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:22,560
computer on the floor or is it going to go up on your desk probably on the desk

210
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:28,079
if it's going to go up on the desk then what i want to do is i want to put the fan side of the power supply down

211
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,519
because this case has nice big feet on the bottom it's got a lot of room for

212
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:35,279
ventilation and if you think that it's likely to be up off the floor then

213
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,639
there's no danger of dust getting sucked in so you grab your octopus with your

214
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:42,959
left hand you're actually going to slide it in from the back of the case i know

215
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:47,120
in hockey in the off season everyone's just playing golf yeah what is it for

216
00:14:44,959 --> 00:14:50,560
basketball you guys like what bowling is that more applicable or like everybody

217
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:54,000
got their own thing there's less and less golfers out there by the year

218
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:58,320
though just because the league's getting younger as you get older in the league and more

219
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,160
veterans play learn start trying to learn to play golf and do different

220
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:06,959
things but golf falling out of favor i guess for guys in the nba man i can't

221
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:12,639
even imagine you know i go to like the beer league softball game and like yeah

222
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,839
freaking lebron james shows up yeah for some reason that's that's that's another

223
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,920
sport that a lot of people play i guess it's a little easier to learn than golf

224
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:24,639
or like your brother's playing catcher or something yeah yeah probably not i

225
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:28,560
imagine you know being like 6'2 trying to get in that catcher squat that can't

226
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,480
be a lot of fun put me at third base outfield i'll knock it out this part can

227
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:37,519
be a little tricky but it's not the hardest part actually oh man for you with the big

228
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,839
hands it might be this is gonna hold the two things together

229
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:46,480
you got one in oh no if you get desperate a nice old pc

230
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,839
building trick is just to take a piece of tape and tape the two pieces together

231
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:55,360
so it's a little bit easier to put them in this part's a little tricky don't worry it takes everyone some time okay

232
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,720
i'll try not to distract you not you is me known each other for a

233
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,880
couple hours and already you're breaking up with me all right got one yeah that

234
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:07,040
made it a lot easier hey that's what i'm here for forever tech tips now this is

235
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:11,759
probably also a dumb question but all the gamers have got to know do you guys

236
00:16:08,959 --> 00:16:18,720
actually play nba games a lot of guys play nba 2k do you play though i do yeah

237
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:22,959
do you think that ea is fair to your

238
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,240
skill level no i do not

239
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:28,959
like if you have a good month they'll address your ratings and make you a little bit better make you a little bit

240
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,320
worse but i don't think i'm close to where i should be i love this he's doing

241
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:37,279
the cable management right ladies and gentlemen this rig is going to look sick

242
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,560
when he's done you are doing awesome for serious i'm not even just like oh he's a

243
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:46,560
celebrity and you have to tell him he's doing a good job or whatever you pick another connector and i'll show you

244
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:48,399
where it goes oh wow this case has a ton

245
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:53,680
of front usb i forgot about that i hate to tell you

246
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:56,880
this that top usb 3 that we had over here it's a little metal it's got a

247
00:16:55,199 --> 00:17:01,360
metal housing around it yeah i see it we're going to have to swap those too

248
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,280
because your graphics card is not going to go in right now his attitude is so

249
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,160
good when i tell him like oh you got to redo it i guess you're used to that

250
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:11,760
though hey oh i don't know man that's a good drill do

251
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:14,480
it over you know that ever happen where the coach tells you the wrong thing and

252
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:19,280
you're the one who ends up having to do it you usually lose man this is going to be

253
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:24,240
so much faster than your laptop i'm not going to sleep tonight trust me good

254
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:29,360
good good good wait did this come out i have

255
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:31,280
another power led power led minus

256
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:35,520
where did that go again yep the little yep there you go i cannot

257
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,559
believe how fast you're plugging these in with those giant mitts power led goes

258
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:44,559
at the top left so that whole top row should be full okay are you ready for

259
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:48,480
the hardest part i'm ready i'm ready i got a good lather good sweat we're gonna

260
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:54,559
do the water cooler so that's gonna be the rog ryugen 360. look what cooler got

261
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:58,320
it i'm having a lot of fun here but it feels kind of unfair because this is you

262
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,280
know my element and you gotta try and do all my stuff you're gonna have to give

263
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,880
me some basketball pointers someday we'll get you on the court next time we

264
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,640
got a game in vancouver we haven't had a real nba team for

265
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:13,760
since i was a kid yeah i was young i remember well i don't really remember

266
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:16,559
but i seen the highlights yeah all right

267
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:21,120
so for realsies this is the hardest part you should have a back plate that looks

268
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:25,440
a little something like this guy back a backplate um

269
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:31,600
you have two that is very interesting you notice how it has

270
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:35,440
these four little like whoa that was close uh don't worry i got this okay see

271
00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:38,960
how it has these four little bits in the corners you see how they slide back and

272
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,520
forth a little bit yes there you go and then you're going to

273
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:47,120
want to leave your left hand holding that in place you're going to thread that into one of the holes on the front

274
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,000
side okay finger tight finger tight but finger tight all the way

275
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,520
tell me something what's your favorite thing about streaming on twitch the legit questions talking to the chat

276
00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:58,559
talking to my fans i actually like the giveaways man it's a lot of fun and i

277
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,880
met a lot of people a lot of other streamers through the twitch community so it's

278
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:07,280
been cool um these are all in i'm gonna have you sanity check something for me

279
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:11,200
okay on your water cooler on the kind of the ball head like the head end this so

280
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:17,600
there's thermal compound on there don't touch that if you can avoid it thermal compound it's that gray gunk oh okay

281
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:21,760
okay okay tubes toward the back okay and then we're gonna need these big old

282
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:27,200
thumb nuts okay fantastic now we're going to start

283
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:31,360
by removing the velcro we're just going to take it all the way off what is this

284
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:34,880
velcro for just a little grip it's a carrying handle yeah okay yeah so you

285
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:38,480
decide kind of which way you like it yeah i like it like this there we go

286
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,080
okay now pull it back out so hubs are gonna go up

287
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:46,480
good lord they sent you RGB fans of course they did what does that mean it

288
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,840
means a lot of cabling oh okay i know that my camera guy's commenting i can't

289
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,160
believe they hit him with a triple radiator this one is a workout they

290
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,640
really pulled no punches percep there's no shame in having

291
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:02,320
trouble with this ASUS really did kind of throw him a curveball uh having him

292
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,200
try to do a triple radiator on his very first build no that was the hardest part

293
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,360
really i'm not going to spring another one on you i promise all right it's hard

294
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,679
to believe you have to after the tenth hardest one

295
00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:18,000
we're just going to keep rolling though can you turn it around so i can see where we're at

296
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,880
well uh yeah turn it around let me see it from the back you know what kind of

297
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,320
content you putting out over there i'm into pcs like that do you have any games

298
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,080
that are kind of like uh like a guilty pleasure fluffy's adventure or anything

299
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:32,400
like that no i don't what was the one that people were on a a few months ago

300
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:36,880
it was like a race oh yeah yeah uh fall guys fall guys yeah yeah do you like

301
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,000
fall guys that was fun for a while yeah it was print one was pretty fun did you

302
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:45,120
ever actually win did you get the crown never never me neither apparently it's really

303
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:50,320
competitive now like really tough really because people know the game's cold yeah

304
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:54,320
and if you want advanced points then you kind of run it around to the back first

305
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,840
and then bring it around and plug it in but that is not necessary yeah i'm just

306
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:03,440
going to keep it simple for this one heck yeah we're doing a little bit of movie magic here ASUS actually left the

307
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,799
stock cables in but we're supposed to be using these red and black ones from

308
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:11,039
mainframe so we have one of their technicians swapping out the pci express

309
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:16,400
cables before seth goes any farther have we already plugged in the usb2 it's in

310
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,760
okay wonderful now let's turn it around we're gonna focus on the back

311
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:25,679
those power connectors for the ones in the top let's grab those three they're

312
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:31,120
gonna plug into something called the commander pro and we're gonna play some hot and cold here

313
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:35,120
right right right keep going oh boiling hot you're

314
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,919
touching oh here here hey there we go nice so all three of those go into all

315
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,120
three of those you ever play hot and cold as a kid of course that was pretty

316
00:21:39,919 --> 00:21:45,520
good so you want to hear something really cool let me hear it now it's time

317
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:49,200
to install the GPU so the way that we're going to line this up is you're going to

318
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:54,080
grab your GPU first yep there you go rog strix it's got all that RGB all that

319
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:57,360
silent fan operation can overclock it if you want to get into that stuff speaking

320
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,960
a different language this think it's beautiful ain't gonna lie

321
00:21:59,679 --> 00:22:06,799
oh yeah it's a big boy your top slot is the one that tends to

322
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,559
have the fastest connectivity and your GPU

323
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,080
needs that this is pretty easy but is the most expensive possible mistake that

324
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,760
you can make in this build all right get that one just kind of kind of keep

325
00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:21,200
finagling it until it's in exactly the right spot

326
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,440
once it's in there's a little latch at the back of the slot a little plastic

327
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:30,400
latch that's going to close by itself in your hand that GPU doesn't even look

328
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:33,440
that huge it's heavy oh did did that slide yeah listen

329
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:40,559
awesome so see how it kind of sags like that yeah yeah so this slidey piece right

330
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:44,480
here oh yeah you can twist it to the side and loosen it a little bit and then

331
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:48,159
you slide it to where you want it and it'll support the GPU from the bottom

332
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:53,200
and you tighten it up that's going to be really good when you're transporting your pc back and forth because i don't

333
00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:57,760
know about ups and fedex down there but up here yeah no comment no comment you

334
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:02,880
know i'ma let you in on a little secret it is bad jeebies to put the side panels

335
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,960
on the case or finish up anything right now if you don't power it on first i

336
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,799
guarantee you it won't turn on are there any like basketball superstitions like

337
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:15,120
that i mean i got a full routine game day routine so from

338
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:19,200
wake up to game i do i have the same routine so it's just i don't really say

339
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,640
a superstition but i say a routine you know what about like okay when you're on

340
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,840
the free throw line uh i wouldn't say change what you do every time so some

341
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:31,440
the bad free throw shooters have a different when they catch the ball have a different routine of how many dribbles

342
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:34,960
they take before they shoot spinning the ball do something different every time

343
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,760
you don't have like a rhythm so the good free throw shoots you see them take the

344
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:42,240
exact same amount of time for when they catch it to when they shoot how many

345
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:48,080
dribbles it's just like repetition and this is it then moment of truth uh power

346
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,080
buttons up on the top of the front

347
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,919
oh yes oh okay these lights are crazy

348
00:23:53,919 --> 00:23:59,440
wow okay come on monitor

349
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:03,840
that's normal that's normal first time you power on it's normal for it to do

350
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:08,960
what's called memory training okay oh yes yes yes yes okay good

351
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:12,880
it's up it's up it's up all right big round of applause we got it

352
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,240
oh i'm excited okay that's fantastic oh

353
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:24,960
yeah there's a couple things i want you to check for me i want to see on the screen if all of your memory is detected

354
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:27,279
yeah six five five three six megabytes

355
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:31,760
you did it that's it first try thank you sir it's a lot of fun man worked out

356
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:35,120
some muscles i've never worked before trying to

357
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,720
fit in some tight some tight spaces but it was all worth it i mean i got a

358
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:43,039
different connection to this machine i guess that's it from our side this thing

359
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,200
looks absolutely awesome even though it's all like hanging out all over the

360
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:50,159
