WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.279
we are kicking off a very exciting episode of Linus tech tips today we have

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.040
the one and only seth curry now tell me something have you ever done a celebrity

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

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

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:21.760
to do one with someone really cool like jay's two cents

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:09.840
they feel like they're going to ask a stupid question and someone's going to

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

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

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:21.920
finite details so you got to find your motherboard the box here that says

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

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.680
need before we get started like the basic screwdriver i love this she's

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.920
asking all the right questions already okay yes pretty much all you're going to

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.159
need is a screwdriver if you want to get into cable management stuff like that

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:44.240
you might need some side cutters to you know clip off your zip ties an

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.439
anti-static wrist or ankle strap is kind of

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:50.479
recommended so i got to be careful messing around i got do i need to take

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:53.040
my watch off what like you kind of scared me a little

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:57.920
no you're good with your watch your power supply is over on your left okay

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

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.560
there you go you got it right here fantastic so start by opening that

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:11.280
sucker up all the ASUS gifs and the stickers and all that come included yeah

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.319
this is not the right one oh they took it out oh wait what they

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

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.840
okay here we go they robbed you of the unboxing experience i don't know all

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

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

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

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.519
system hopefully there's a power outlet somewhere kind of nearby i would assume

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:47.840
yeah i hope so there's one down here but i might need an extension cord

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.800
they got this that's okay in the meantime why don't i walk you through

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

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

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

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

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:13.280
are doing awesome okay you want to find the thickest one looks like this one

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

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.840
computer build needs one of those these days so the one that splits apart that

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.920
one goes into the power supply pc manufacturers are smart like that they

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

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

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

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.200
to see someone who's so well coordinated having exactly the same down struggles

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

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

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

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:01.040
here speaking of coaching is it ever kind of tough having your father-in-law

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

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:07.840
anything else after a bad loss if the next day coming over for dinner it can

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

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

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

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.919
yes yep you can use that one fun fact the state of california recently banned

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:30.720
the shipment of systems with graphics cards this powerful into the state geez

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

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:42.720
three connectors here that are labeled CPU slash vga PCIe i think they could

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.120
label these better i agree

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.919
you have built yourself a beautiful pitch black octopus there

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

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.800
ground yourself stay grounded i got good traction on my shoes so

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:04.240
i wasn't worried about you slipping are you saying for the the the case for

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.400
static electricity oh oh so whenever you move around you just want to touch that

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

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:16.320
gonna go ahead and we're gonna grab the motherboard which was over on your right

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

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.320
top of the box and that's it cardboard does not conduct electricity okay so

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

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

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:35.360
warzone is my understanding is that right i do that's the normal go to game

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

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.520
running a core i9 11900k okay oh this

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

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

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

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

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.840
triangle yes okay that's the orientation that we're going

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

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

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.319
metal ARM you wanna pull that out to the side to the side towards the memory

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

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.160
those pins gets bent that's it dead

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

00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:32.400
kind of perfectly in place with those two triangles aligned he even gave it

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:36.800
the little wiggle without me prompting him that's that's amazing i'm gonna go

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.319
ahead and ground myself real quick i love it

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.680
yeah there you go just with confidence go forward pull it out and then hook it

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.280
under the thing and that black piece should pop off the top okay that's out

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

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

00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:01.360
some Corsair dominator platinum RGB got all the shiny lights on it this looks

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

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

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.639
there's some little tabs there yep you want to pull those back yeah perfect

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

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:21.440
gonna have to push quite firmly and the tab will snap itself into place yep got

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:24.720
the first one in nice it's like sports you catch a rhythm you keep moving

00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:28.960
pretty smoothly i don't really follow basketball very closely and so one of my

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:31.919
guys had to tell me this before the stream but i heard you actually had a

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

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:39.039
great series personally i wish we would have won you guys gave him a good fight

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:42.479
though i mean seven games that's not exactly yeah lying down and just letting

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:46.479
them roll over you yeah it was a fun series for sure but um well actually

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

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:53.759
following olympic badminton very closely

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

00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.039
same boat there yeah those are both kind of uncool sports but man water polo you

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

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:08.319
before it is unreal you know imagine egg

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.360
beatering yourself up waist high out of the water so you can make a shot like

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:16.000
that like those guys are going yeah that upper body strength is crazy so you've

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

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

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

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:33.039
think this motherboard's got two or maybe actually three m.2 slots on it

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:38.560
four i lied so you're gonna need your screwdriver you'll need a number one

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

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

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

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

00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.760
evolutionary advantage for small people

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:06.399
we can handle computer screws big hands are not an advantage here now would you

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:09.600
consider yourself like a handyman like around the house like are you pretty

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

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

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:20.160
yeah exactly i've done builds with people before where they just they over

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:24.320
torque that thing because these are little tiny screws so you could strip

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:27.279
the threads off them it's a subtle thing about being

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

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:34.640
touch man we're making really great progress here feeling good about you

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

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

00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:49.279
the riskiest part in the very bottom corner of the motherboard there's nine

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:55.040
little pins sticking up labeled f panel uh yep f panel right there yeah that

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

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

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:05.600
where the big hands is at a disadvantage

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.600
yeah a little bit i imagine i've never experienced it there's one

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

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

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.800
like you don't wanna have lunch with him i understand that all right we're

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

00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:29.200
be kind of the hardest part it sounds like practice when coach says one more thing

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

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:37.920
and we got an hour practice we're gonna go find our motherboard screws first

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:37.920
we're gonna be ready

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

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

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

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

00:10:54.800 --> 00:11:00.720
you got your motherboard lying next to it right like this right so you see that

00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:05.200
rectangular out there yes that's going to line up with all those ports and you

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:08.800
just want to try and see those posts through the holes in the board so we

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:13.279
don't want to scrape it around too much ideally because if we scratch the

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.640
motherboard it can make it not worky anymore you know what i can make this

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

00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:26.560
with gravity helping rather than oh don't worry we got this they didn't

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:31.440
go far i think i got it okay so i couldn't help noticing you're

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:35.519
building like a desktop here how does that work with travel like you

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

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

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.320
have that you need to stay in a hotel that has decent internet

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

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

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.079
comply complain and the next day they were setting up better wi-fi and they

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

00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:08.079
are you kind of an anomaly like is everyone else xbox it's the primary

00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:11.519
console so most guys got xbox playstation i could probably count the

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

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

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

00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:25.920
ago it's like we live in completely different worlds yeah one of my friends

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

00:12:27.760 --> 00:12:33.839
well what do you like about it whatever even attracted you to it the the frames

00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:37.839
the smoothness of the of the gameplay being able to customize it to how you

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

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

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

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:56.000
a macbook or something like ah it's so mind-blowing to me you can

00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:00.560
describe you know high frame rate smoothness to someone but it's the feel

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

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:07.839
mess i broke a little sweat getting on that one that was the hardest part pc

00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:12.959
building sweat that's a stress sweat yeah and stress sweat it stinks it's a

00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:16.079
little worse yeah we're gonna stand the case back up and

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:21.040
grab the power supply it's time to install that all right now i gotta

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:26.160
confess as kind of a normie my assumption is that you know you guys

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:29.120
kind of eat sleep drink breathe

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:33.360
basketball yeah you know i just kind of thought hey they probably don't have a

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

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:41.920
a relaxed time as a recovery time so especially on the road i integrated into

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

00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:49.440
advantage to the big hand guy yeah

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

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:56.079
i'm about five six and a half oh okay

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

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

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

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

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:13.040
i need that that extra half so really we're kin right now i understand trust

00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:19.120
me do you think you're likely to put this

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

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

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

00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:35.279
ventilation and if you think that it's likely to be up off the floor then

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:38.639
there's no danger of dust getting sucked in so you grab your octopus with your

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

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:47.120
in hockey in the off season everyone's just playing golf yeah what is it for

00:14:44.959 --> 00:14:50.560
basketball you guys like what bowling is that more applicable or like everybody

00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:54.000
got their own thing there's less and less golfers out there by the year

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

00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:02.160
veterans play learn start trying to learn to play golf and do different

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

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:12.639
even imagine you know i go to like the beer league softball game and like yeah

00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:15.839
freaking lebron james shows up yeah for some reason that's that's that's another

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

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.639
or like your brother's playing catcher or something yeah yeah probably not i

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

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

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

00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:41.839
hands it might be this is gonna hold the two things together

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:46.480
you got one in oh no if you get desperate a nice old pc

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:49.839
building trick is just to take a piece of tape and tape the two pieces together

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

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:58.720
i'll try not to distract you not you is me known each other for a

00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:02.880
couple hours and already you're breaking up with me all right got one yeah that

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

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:11.759
probably also a dumb question but all the gamers have got to know do you guys

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

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:22.959
do you think that ea is fair to your

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:24.240
skill level no i do not

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

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

00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:37.279
the cable management right ladies and gentlemen this rig is going to look sick

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

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

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:48.399
where it goes oh wow this case has a ton

00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:53.680
of front usb i forgot about that i hate to tell you

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

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

00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:05.280
because your graphics card is not going to go in right now his attitude is so

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

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.760
though hey oh i don't know man that's a good drill do

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:14.480
it over you know that ever happen where the coach tells you the wrong thing and

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

00:17:17.439 --> 00:17:24.240
so much faster than your laptop i'm not going to sleep tonight trust me good

00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:29.360
good good good wait did this come out i have

00:17:25.520 --> 00:17:31.280
another power led power led minus

00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:35.520
where did that go again yep the little yep there you go i cannot

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:40.559
believe how fast you're plugging these in with those giant mitts power led goes

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

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

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

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

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

00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:04.880
me some basketball pointers someday we'll get you on the court next time we

00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:08.640
got a game in vancouver we haven't had a real nba team for

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

00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:16.559
but i seen the highlights yeah all right

00:18:13.760 --> 00:18:21.120
so for realsies this is the hardest part you should have a back plate that looks

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.440
a little something like this guy back a backplate um

00:18:24.080 --> 00:18:31.600
you have two that is very interesting you notice how it has

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

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

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.520
forth a little bit yes there you go and then you're going to

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

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:50.000
side okay finger tight finger tight but finger tight all the way

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:19:15.120 --> 00:19:21.760
okay okay tubes toward the back okay and then we're gonna need these big old

00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:27.200
thumb nuts okay fantastic now we're going to start

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

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:34.880
velcro for just a little grip it's a carrying handle yeah okay yeah so you

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

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:42.080
okay now pull it back out so hubs are gonna go up

00:19:39.760 --> 00:19:46.480
good lord they sent you RGB fans of course they did what does that mean it

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

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:54.160
believe they hit him with a triple radiator this one is a workout they

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:58.640
really pulled no punches percep there's no shame in having

00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:02.320
trouble with this ASUS really did kind of throw him a curveball uh having him

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

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

00:20:07.280 --> 00:20:11.679
to believe you have to after the tenth hardest one

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

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

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

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:28.080
that are kind of like uh like a guilty pleasure fluffy's adventure or anything

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

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

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

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:45.120
ever actually win did you get the crown never never me neither apparently it's really

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:50.320
competitive now like really tough really because people know the game's cold yeah

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

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

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

00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:06.799
stock cables in but we're supposed to be using these red and black ones from

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:11.039
mainframe so we have one of their technicians swapping out the pci express

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:16.400
cables before seth goes any farther have we already plugged in the usb2 it's in

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:19.760
okay wonderful now let's turn it around we're gonna focus on the back

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:25.679
those power connectors for the ones in the top let's grab those three they're

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

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:35.120
right right right keep going oh boiling hot you're

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

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

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

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

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

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:57.360
silent fan operation can overclock it if you want to get into that stuff speaking

00:21:55.600 --> 00:22:00.960
a different language this think it's beautiful ain't gonna lie

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:06.799
oh yeah it's a big boy your top slot is the one that tends to

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:10.559
have the fastest connectivity and your GPU

00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:14.080
needs that this is pretty easy but is the most expensive possible mistake that

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

00:22:15.919 --> 00:22:21.200
finagling it until it's in exactly the right spot

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

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

00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:33.440
that huge it's heavy oh did did that slide yeah listen

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

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

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

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

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:57.760
know about ups and fedex down there but up here yeah no comment no comment you

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

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

00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:10.799
guarantee you it won't turn on are there any like basketball superstitions like

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:15.120
that i mean i got a full routine game day routine so from

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

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

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

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

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:34.960
they take before they shoot spinning the ball do something different every time

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

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:42.240
exact same amount of time for when they catch it to when they shoot how many

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:48.080
dribbles it's just like repetition and this is it then moment of truth uh power

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.080
buttons up on the top of the front

00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:53.919
