00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.720
these $5,000 AMD ultimate Tech upgrades have gotten a little out of hand lately

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:12.880
and I was assured that today our editor and memelord extraordinaire Alex is just

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:18.320
getting a simple workstation upgrade to the fastest CPU money can buy the ry9

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:25.240
7950 x3d what is that trouble I'm organizing

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:30.960
this and this I'm supposed to wall mount the TV two TVs there's a projector in a

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:35.760
ceiling now this is is an unconventional component but at least it might come in

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.350
handy it's electric oh I guess that was

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:51.640
the point of the

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:59.559
upgrade AMD ultimate Tech upgrade is back which means another chance to win

00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:04.439
sick goodies from AMD all you've got to do is head over to our Twitter X Twitter

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:09.799
to enter the giveaway for a chance to win one of three AMD ryzen 7800 x3d

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.640
gaming processors thanks again to AMD for sponsoring this series all right

00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:19.479
nothing to do but get down to business then where do you want to start in the

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:24.880
bedroom if you don't mind I'm just going to um oh not bad not bad for jumping i'

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:30.400
I've learned my lesson about that though we're not going to do that can you not yeah uh the point is my understanding is

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:36.520
that the plan is the projector goes up here and then you got a screen over here

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:41.479
but there's a door yeah it's retractable a retractable screen oh good that'll be

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:46.960
even easier to get in exactly the right spot perfect how are you going to power

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:48.799
any of this I don't know yet okay let's

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.240
go get the screen screen first then I hope you got a seismic mount for this

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.119
thing no cuz uh I'm going to die it's fine I couldn't help noticing

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:01.680
that that's how the other problem is we can't just

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.159
Mount this the wall because you have a door here yeah so the door frame is

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.560
going to get in the way we have to mount this to the ceiling yeah I know so

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.440
you've got about a foot of black space

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.280
before the screen itself has to start that's good because that means that our

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:20.879
projector can come down a bit and maybe clear that light I really think we're

00:02:19.519 --> 00:02:27.319
just going to have to get rid of that lamp but that's okay okay crazy

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.400
proposal if you must watch TV in here we

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:35.840
take your second TV that you don't even have a plan for and we just mount it to

00:02:31.239 --> 00:02:37.400
the wall right there no all right then

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.239
let's change gears and talk about the office you've got your existing computer

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.159
here and you've got a new case motherboard and CPU but you don't appear

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:48.879
to have enough Hardware to build a full second computer so what exactly is it

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.239
that you're doing here I'm trying to build a new

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:57.440
computer uh but keep the same parts for

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.640
the most part so we're going 7950 X 3D

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:03.040
with ddr5 memory in a new case but with

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:07.920
otherwise the same guts most of them yeah okay this I feel good about this is

00:03:05.239 --> 00:03:13.519
going to be no problem we found them guys the one person other than me who's

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:17.400
dumb enough to use one of these m.2 carrier cards are you actually booting

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:21.080
off this thing I'm not booting off of it but you know what the problem is with

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:25.200
that I don't have enough Lanes so only two ssds that are in it uh actually work

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:30.720
wait and and it has how many in it

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:36.599
four you're missing so many screws we can't talk about that oh okay man I can

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:41.239
tell I haven't watched this in a year a year it was on a carpet this is not that

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:47.799
bad I mean for a year when you had like a rabbit then yeah you have a rabbit or

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.720
had you um no um what's wrong with all

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:53.599
these people out there who are working on Noctua coolers without even a Noctua

00:03:51.720 --> 00:04:00.280
addition screwdriver sign up for a notification LTT Store.com coming very

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:02.840
soon buy a regular one well

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:06.760
why do you have an HBA in here uh I had too many is it connected right now no

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:12.680
it's not connected to anything well no that's not true you this is broken uh oh

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:18.680
cool wait there's more SSD yes dude I'm loaded why do you need so much solid

00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:23.479
state storage what the hell why do you

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:25.400
need 24 TB of SSD storage why not no

00:04:23.479 --> 00:04:31.080
that's not the question the question is why I just have no reason is this the

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.479
main Drive good question uh there were any a raid

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:41.160
configuration up until recently and it broke so um yeah one of them is the main

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:48.440
Drive I hate this no you don't yes I do

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:50.520
I hate this you love to suffer content

00:04:48.440 --> 00:04:54.440
my understanding so that you can use all 16 of these lanes and all four of these

00:04:52.400 --> 00:05:00.360
drives is that you want to put this in your primary PCIe slot but you have a

00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:04.360
problem you don't have a graphics

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:08.759
adapter this CPU has no onboard GPU so

00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:12.440
you can't use I here I can't run it at

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.320
um you may not be able to complete

00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:18.120
booting you'll have to put a GPU in it at least once yeah to get your OS

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:22.800
installed and everything set up and maybe to configure the BIOS to say to

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.120
ignore that error and then after that it might work okay yeah your next problem

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:32.639
is that your HBA which you use to connect here all of your unnecessary 2

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:34.520
and2 solid state driv semi busted is a

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.280
4X card oh yeah I know about that that means that it either needs to go in the

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:43.840
bottom slot which you will need if you ever wanted to put a GPU in here or it

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:46.560
needs to go in your other 16x slot which

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:50.759
will automatically split your primary one into 8 and eight so then this won't

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:56.160
get all 16 lanes and you won't be able to run all your ssds okay so I will put

00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:59.479
it in the bottom oh actually you know I guess that's okay okay yeah I'll put

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:03.600
this in the bottom slot how did you do this this I'm trying to get the cables

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.599
out of here and you can you not pull so hard you've managed to run two cables

00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:14.520
through the one cable I mean I wouldn't need to pull on it if you didn't do this

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:16.240
I don't know what how did you how did

00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:20.199
you manage to run I don't know I'm going to have to completely disconnect

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:25.560
everything in this computer to get your power supply cables out they're

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:29.599
hooked the good news is the Cavalry is here we've got Colin and Elijah who are

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:34.560
going to be helping us with the project ctor screen Mount okay what happened to

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.280
the ones that are a complete circle I also got those ones you also got those I

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.880
mean I bought those ones and then calling whatever it's just AMD's money

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:45.319
anyway right exactly it works actually I think he spent all the budget so I think

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.960
it's my money now but sure I didn't spend all the budget I have like $400

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.759
left I don't know I see a lot of stuff here I assume you want the screen

00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:57.360
centered to the bed uh

00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:00.840
yeah if it makes sense trust the process

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:05.639
no bye I don't

00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:07.360
help it's broken certified not a stud oh

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.400
boy you guys say there's a problem I walk in there's a hole in the ceiling so

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:16.360
is that related to the problem yes if you take this stud finder and go right

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:19.759
beside it it'll say that a stud is right between that hole but there ain't no

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:23.720
stud there homie oh well it's a metal stud that's your problem yeah that's

00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:27.280
what I then found out okay wait you put two holes in the ceiling yeah because I

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:30.720
was like oh I'll try the other one see if I was just wrong on this one and I'm

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.240
wrong on both it's a good thing they're small holes

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:39.440
it's a good thing it's an autot textured seil yeah that is an actual good thing

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:43.800
yeah it's a good thing you've got a lot of paint touch-ups to do already we

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:49.639
could use the gigantic pilot hole that we drilled to throw a Toggler in there

00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:54.039
mhm and then we could just hang this off

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:57.479
of the metal stud yeah okay possibly as

00:07:54.039 --> 00:07:59.080
long as it does we have some oh I

00:07:57.479 --> 00:08:03.000
already looked at that option these are what supposed to go in it and they're

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:09.400
not even like close I see oh God another piece broke

00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:12.639
off this HBA uh be careful well I did I

00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:13.879
didn't mean to I really really sincerely

00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:20.159
hope that no no that's a good

00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:22.039
noise what's in it is it just a cable is

00:08:20.159 --> 00:08:27.879
it broken now hold on no no no everything's fine yeah yeah everything's

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:29.159
good I just need to uh Hey there you go

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:36.560
it's like you know when your car turns on like that's how you know it's working

00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:40.959
hey we've got the AMD raid detected so that means that the uh the the the SSD

00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:46.519
card okay now I just need the other three SATA ssds to pick up sick the last

00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:51.680
thing I need to figure out then is why the SATA drives are not showing up cool

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:55.600
because the HBA is broken is it just cuz the HBA is broken it might just be hey

00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:59.920
you know what this board has enough SATA ports that I can just plug into there

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:07.800
and we'll take the HBA out that's what I was saying the whole time okay attempt

00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:10.279
number the third here we go hey let's go

00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:13.760
all right we're good yeah your drives are all detected except the two ones

00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:17.440
except the two that we know could be detected if I pulled up the GPU all

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:21.959
right this system is done I'm going to close it up and then we can focus on

00:09:19.079 --> 00:09:26.480
that one and the TV mount and the projector and the projector mount the

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:30.920
range actually is part of the upgrade but it was insted by professional before

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.240
no it was installed by me oh I'm a professional I couldn't help

00:09:32.920 --> 00:09:41.000
noticing you have a lot of bananas for scale from the store yeah why are they

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:45.040
all pink I asked for like I asked for six and I don't think they caught on

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:51.320
that I wanted all the colors oh I see yeah so now I just have a uh bowl of

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.880
pink bananas with one that has white

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.640
stuff on the tip um before I get too far

00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:02.000
ahead of myself installing the cooler I should probably install the CPU

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:08.480
naturally as a baller with more ssds than sents um Alex has gone with the

00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:11.519
7950 x3d this was necessary for all of

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:15.079
the '90s games I guess yes got all that

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:18.600
3D vcash to run at the highest FPS the

00:10:15.079 --> 00:10:21.720
lowest latency like 12200 frames per

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.120
second playing 90 game playing 90s gam

00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:29.839
I'm a speedrunner you get it speed Runner hey this is going smoothly oh

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:34.640
that's a little dirty uh there I fixed it oh oh that's awful

00:10:34.920 --> 00:10:42.160
oh I lived in a place with us best I think I just inhaled half of your old

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:48.480
rabbit but hey the system's almost done all I got to do is wire up SATA and

00:10:44.680 --> 00:10:50.399
power for that yet another SSD in the

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.200
bottom of the case throw the GPU in and I think we're good to boot this thing up

00:10:52.079 --> 00:10:58.920
holy shnikies I got so distracted plugging in ssds that I forgot to check

00:10:56.680 --> 00:11:02.160
in with you you guys have done nothing we you said you wanted to see the idea

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:06.760
before we did it we got the hook here that will use

00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:11.839
our existing hole so we just need to drill three

00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:14.399
more and then we picked up like hooks

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:18.240
that can go into this clip on and clip onto this okay so then it'll actually be

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:23.200
cleaner cuz it'll be easier to take down if he wants to just for whatever re oh

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:30.720
yeah just like a standard Carabiner then yeah you know what that's actually not

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:33.200
that janky yeah it looks a lot nicer and

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:37.839
okay yeah cuz it's got a foot of extra at the top anyway so if you just pull it

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:42.920
down a bit extra yeah I think so okay yeah hey great job guys yeah the guy at

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:46.720
Home Depot said to do this one too I don't believe

00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:51.839
you who you put the side panel on I put the side panels on before we tested the

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:56.040
PC uh where do you want it Alex uh beneath you want it on on the bottom

00:11:53.880 --> 00:12:00.040
yeah probably next to UPS right there sure don't drop it on my head please I'm

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.320
not going to drop it on your head head uh yeah sure here I'll just put it

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:09.040
around no no no it's not long enough here just dude it's not long enough stop

00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:10.839
why you do okay sorry are you coming out

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:15.199
if you wanted to work for not a giant troll I'm sure there's plenty of other

00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:18.880
employers out there oh crap that doesn't seem like it's working does

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:25.600
it buddy come on wait oh the fans just spun

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.880
down hold on I think we're going to I

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:32.920
think we got this come on uh keyboard yeah first try

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:38.720
let's go oh wow your cat did a number on this

00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:44.040
yep unless that was you I me look at that I mean all the RAM got our so three

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:48.440
SATA yeah that's right and then two m.2 right oh it's almost like the other okay

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:53.000
we're good then yeah I don't know if we're going to get 6,400 megat transfers

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:57.320
per second that is really fast for an AMD CPU but we're going to try feel like

00:12:55.920 --> 00:13:03.160
it's time for a check in with these guys but I'm afraid to open this door

00:12:59.880 --> 00:13:04.560
oh oh and I can't you're missing a screw

00:13:03.160 --> 00:13:07.959
yeah because there's a stud in that one spot oh there's a stud there yeah and I

00:13:06.760 --> 00:13:12.320
couldn't get through it with the drill ah brilliant I tried pushing real tough

00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:16.360
he pushed real tough this one I'm also hitting a stud here in this spot and

00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:21.040
these ones aren't fully grabbing when they go all the way through I see so I'm

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:25.279
trying to back them off a little bit to try to push them up more to see if the

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:30.000
it'll actually catch it's not very straight it's fine you're looking at the

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:35.040
movie not the hooks this was working then I tried to run the memory at 6,400

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:39.880
which is it kind of knew wasn't going to work okay BIOS reset that's okay we kind

00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:44.440
of knew that was going to happen oh nice choice of board you've got a clear seamless button right on the back of the

00:13:42.560 --> 00:13:48.800
board love it now where do you want your ruler um drawer drawer I don't think

00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:52.560
I'll fit hey got him that was the whole that was the

00:13:50.839 --> 00:13:56.959
whole setup here we go don't stand right under it we ready oh no no I'm trusting

00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:02.160
it I'm trusting IT professional crew I don't see you all right that's

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:07.519
perfect big Improvement they do have calculators for this but we're just

00:14:03.959 --> 00:14:11.000
going to kind of you know figure it out

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.759
oh my God it it needs to be like right

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.759
where the light

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:22.759
is I don't think we could have done this any worse if we had actually tried yeah

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:29.440
I'm sorry I think this really is not a today thing because it goes right

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:34.440
there is there any anything else you need drilled yeah I need my TV mounted

00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:43.880

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:46.040
yeah no you just got to keep going more

00:14:43.880 --> 00:14:50.120
yeah oh cool I have space for plant now yeah we're going to run that bookshelf

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:55.360
thing oh wait wait hold on I'm pretty sure that if a saw blade came flying out

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:59.240
of that crack it would cut my dick off that's great here's a tech tip for you

00:14:57.199 --> 00:15:04.000
guys Windows 11 requires an intern connection for setup now except it

00:15:01.160 --> 00:15:09.639
doesn't you can press shift F10 and then type the command

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:11.759
u/ bypass

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:17.160
nro oo and uh we shouldn't need it anymore

00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:23.320
we should have the option next time to click I don't have internet which we

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:27.680
do except that we need drivers for our network interfaces that we can't install

00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:31.880
until we have window you you don't have to use the

00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:35.480
biggest drill bit every single time right that's why I took it off you just

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:41.079
saw me take it off I saw you holding it I saw you thinking about it I used that

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:44.839
one for the ceiling holes yes I saw that are you a left start in you guy I

00:15:42.199 --> 00:15:48.680
already moved it over there yeah but there's this like registry hack

00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:55.199
apparently to get it back on top like in Windows 10 and before oh that's right I

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:57.639
forgot you're a top taskbar guy okay

00:15:55.199 --> 00:16:04.480
okay yeah explain I have a Linux face for a bit

00:16:01.160 --> 00:16:06.959
and there there's that there's the just

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:12.600
it's on top for Max um if you don't factoring the dock and my I I realized

00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.959
my eyes were always looking up like rather than at the bottom for

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:19.720
notifications what not so I just yeah and why would you adapt to your computer

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:25.000
when your computer can adapt to you not anymore that's the Linux mindset and

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:30.519
it's not wrong okay let's get this uh let's get this Media Console looking fly

00:16:27.880 --> 00:16:36.480
if we can I am so excited to plug these things in we're going to have this so

00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:38.440
powered Alex okay this is actually

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:42.399
looking kind of awesome I just got to get some of these cables up here we're

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:45.959
close enough to the media console that you don't really see the cables running

00:16:44.199 --> 00:16:50.600
down even though we haven't you know properly done a um a conduit yet I'm

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:55.800
just going to tie these up so that you don't really notice them so much wait

00:16:53.199 --> 00:17:04.000

00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:17.199
you're the proud owner of a WinRAR trial now a permanent trial that's a lot of

00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:23.520
CPU course doing nothing 2% usage yep cool oh I never

00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:29.679
updated you guys for memory we settled in at I think 5600 5,400 MHz with some

00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:37.440
tuning we can definitely push it higher but I wanted something that was well

00:17:32.919 --> 00:17:40.080
fast just set it to a safe setting wow

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.080
this looks

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:48.799
great great so you got to who controls

00:17:44.919 --> 00:17:50.520
building things like AI Control so your

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:54.360
goal is basically to protect your base unless there's a side quest or a side

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:58.840
goal um sometimes capture the fly you know uh it's like you take command and

00:17:57.159 --> 00:18:03.280
conqueror and bring it down to like your you're you're just like an infantry man

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:10.320
cool yeah but there's no player who actually plays the RTS component uh not

00:18:07.159 --> 00:18:12.440
