Intel gamer days is running from september 27th to august 5th this year
and Intel and newegg sponsored this video where i will be taking on another
tech youtuber to see who can build the best 5 000 gaming rig that's right roby
tech i am laying down the gauntlets more
of a figurative gauntlet the point is you guys will be the ones to vote for
who built the best pc and you can get a chance to win just make sure you stay
tuned later in the video because there's going to be some important details to
remember all right ready set go
it's Intel gamer day so obviously the heart of our system is going to be a
core i9 11 900k this puppy's got eight cores 16 threads and turbos all the way
to 5.3 gigahertz beyond that as long as
it's in stock at newegg we're allowed to spend our budget on whatever we want so
believe it or not we didn't go completely balls to the wall for our
motherboard we've gone with a z590e gaming wi-fi this has got all the
features that we need with nothing that we don't that means support for wi-fi 6e
dual two and a half gigabit Ethernet jacks up to four m.2 NVMe ssds with two
of them supporting genpor speeds support for up to
gigabytes of ddr4 5333 RAM and of course
support for NVIDIA sli okay i lied it does have some things that are not
entirely necessary like the extensive RGB lighting but whatever we had five
thousand dollars to spend and it's not our money so
obviously because we're working with the same budgets and the same constraints no
custom water cooling no case fabrication and no vinyl wrapping i think there's a
strong possibility that justin's and my machines will end up being quite similar
in terms of the base hardware so where we have to differentiate is in our style
watch this flourish
CPU installed as well as with our paint job and i've got a great theme for our
machine today it's going to be
roby tech themed
so for all the haters out there that wanted to vote against me well you can't
really do that unless you vote against robbie tech you either vote against the
robitech pc or the pc built by roby tech
damn for system memory we've gone with a total of 32 gigabytes
of trident zeneo RGB RAM from g-skill
this stuff's rated at 3 600 mega transfers per second cl 16 and of course
supports RGB synchronization with the rest of our system which is the most
important feature now we could have gone higher end with our budget but this is a
great balance of high performance reasonable price and just plain
it works out of the box because the thing about you know
five gigatransfer per second memory or whatever is that it's not just dependent
on the memory in the motherboard you also have to kind of get lucky in terms
of whether your CPU's integrated memory controller can manage to take it that
high now it's time for storage we could have gone with mechanical storage um but we
didn't we decided come on this is a 5 000 machine so we've gone with one
terabyte of pci express gen 4 wait what
that's better we'll be using a severant rocket four plus one terabyte for our
boot drive and then for our mass storage drive we're using an xpg sx 8100 four
terabyte no mechanical storage for whoever wins this
pc did i perhaps blow the budget a little bit upgrading this drive without
telling um Anthony who did the parts list maybe look i'm doing it for the
people for the potential winner of this computer
until gamer days now i have no way of enforcing this but on our system guys as
we prep the case and get our cooling installed try not to look too closely at
the custom paint job okay because i don't want to spoil the big reveal at
the end it's got a custom paint job on it since
custom water cooling wasn't an option i went for the next best thing this is the
iq h170i elite capelix from Corsair and
since that name doesn't tell me really anything about the product i'll run you
through it it's got a triple 140 millimeter radiator includes Corsair's
ml series magnetic levitation bearing fans and
okay it told us one thing it's got their capellic style
dense RGB array thing built into the CPU block it also includes a 6 channel RGB
and fan hub only one small problem
it's not going to fit in like this and we're not allowed to modify the case
there we go you might say we're cutting corners
i think we got it i'm gonna put some fresh thermal
compound on our CPU and now i can throw this puppy on here
man this thing is coming together
this is why i was so particular about
the magnet in this screwdriver being super strong because when you've got
thumb nuts and you're trying to put them on you need it to really grab onto when
they're heavy future ltpstore.com for now oh the shirt
Jake's wearing great new design retro GPU design
it's the closest thing to a GPU you can actually buy oh yeah just like that oh so clean
so clean and all we had to do was cheat a little
i guess we better put the power supply in
ironically we won't get to use one of the coolest features of the rg thor 1200
platinum which is of course this little built-in display here which can tell you
power consumption fan RPM on the power supply all that kind of cool stuff but
that's okay still a nice high quality 80
plus platinum 1200 watt power supply
for our graphics card we've gone extreme
because of our budget we were able to afford not only one of the most
expensive but one of the physically largest graphics cards on the market
this thing is an absolute chungus
exceeding three slots wide
but theoretically this is what's going to give us the cooling performance we
need to run this thing at max speeds all the
time it's got a freaking built-in display triple fans
and a sleek looking aluminum back plate check this out
if the system felt kind of empty before
i've actually seen people on craigslist and andy you've seen the same thing
right with this particular card because they got it in a new egg shuffle or
something like that but they want to trade it for something else that's smaller because their case just won't
fit it hey it fits great in here
we're going to use our cable combs here to give these a nice
tidy consistent look coming out of the graphics card maybe spacing like
come on and now i've put this off as long as i possibly can
cable management in this case actually really quite
excellent i'm impressed oh snap there's a thing i didn't plug in boop you ready
andy oh yeah here we go good luck everybody okay all the RGB lights are on
that's a good sign our display is on
yes
fan controllers like yeah we're not really doing anything these maglev
bearings are incredible it's time for the finishing touch
this right here is my robi tech stencil
what do you think andy right there all right i just got to get
in my sticker application stance here
oh shoot it's too tall i have to do it again this
is going to lose all of its stickiness by the time i'm done with it
okay now most of my painting experience is
painting houses so this iwata eclipse
hpcs is a little overkill for me but hey
fundamentally i at least like know how it works start with a white base
you know i want these colors to pop
does this even actually call for shaking it
okay i think i've decided what i want to do
okay we're gonna do another hit of that i can call it a hit if i want
yeah it's nothing new okay i need a paper towel okay i don't
want to overdo it should we call that good
full disclosure i didn't do most of the painting okay nicholas kalanin did it
you can see it uses the same angular finish as the meshify 2. he sanded down
the fractal logo so it's gone from the front and put a robitech logo there i
think i'm finally ready to configure my RGB after like 15 minutes of installing
these utilities we're going with static red because i don't care anymore static
red boom oh the graphics card 12.7
of my CPU is being used up by iq are you
kidding me Corsair it's the size of a graphics driver
screw it i'm just leaving them on rainbow vomit i give up i'm just going
to uninstall the utilities performance comes first RGB configuration woes aside
i think this is an absolutely fantastic looking machine and with specs to match
it's got this great red gray and white color scheme going on on the front the
cable management is absolutely sublime
you can hardly see a cable in this thing and i think the paint job that kalanine
and i guess i also contributed to makes it just the right amount of roby tech
without being you know too in your face i think all those things together should
be enough to get your votes but if they weren't we've got the fastest gaming
hardware that money can buy with an rtx 3090 32 gigs of 3600 megahertz cl 16
memory and of course at its heart the core i9 11 900k which boosts to up to
5.3 gigahertz and actually you can fine
tune it to go even higher with Intel's extreme tuning utility it's got a bit of
an unconventional cooling layout but it seems to be surviving our torture test
with cinebench and fur mark running and it doubles as a space heater for your
hands on cold days so you know your hands get cold gaming you can
the finishing touch for my masterpiece and all that's left is for you guys to
vote Intel is giving away four pcs this
one the one robitec built and two additional ones and you can find all the
details and submit your votes at the link down below voting ends september
the 4th but the sweepstakes is actually open until september the 27th and
whoever wins me or robytech we get to
pick one of our viewers and give them a rockin laptop it's a Gigabyte arrow 15
with an rtx 3080 and core i7 11800h
so uh no pressure but you should probably pick me at least
that's what i think for now but i haven't seen robitex build yet and i'm
about to
wow he went all out on the paint job
that's looking pretty sweet wow that is a very over-the-top look not gonna lie
that's a sick machine but consider this okay robitec clearly installed the RGB
utilities which computer would you rather have mind you you could just you
could just get his but then uninstall them enter the sweepstakes go check out Intel
gamer days we're going to have all those links down below and we're going to have
robytech's channel link down there so go check him out he does lots of builds
especially live streams and stuff like that it is worth having a look at
