As we've made our way through our team, giving each of them a $5,000
ultimate upgrade courtesy of AMD, I've started to notice a pattern. The writers
tend to focus on hardcore tech like falling gaming PCs and TVs. The folks
from our testing lab end up with more exotic hardware like VR headsets and
geeky gadgets. And then there's the product designers who end up with
>> Don't drop it. >> Oh my god. What is this?
>> It's a router uh spindle. >> Yeah, of course. a router spindle like
everyone has. And this is just one of the wild things we'll be looking at
today because not only does Nate DIY his own industrial gear, he also 3D printed
the case for his new PC. This looks
flipping amazing. I wouldn't have even known it was 3D printed if I didn't have
functioning eyes. Now all we got to do is pimp it out with some new AMD
hardware. >> Thanks AMD.
So, you are back for another amazing AMD
giveaway. To celebrate race to world first, AMD and Ekko have partnered to
give away 10, yes 10 AMD Ryzen 7 9800
X3Ds, which as you will find out is the
same CPU that Nate picked for his upgrade because of just how flipping
amazing it is for gaming, not to mention anything. All you got to do is check out
the link in the video description for a chance to win. Thanks again AMD for
sponsoring this series, and we wish everyone who enters the best of luck.
It's always fun to see the houses of people who have unlimited capabilities
but limited time. See, Nate could have
cable managed this sick [music] transparent home assistant box that he's
using, but that wasn't as important as 3D printing baby proofing tools to Oh,
well, those could be better. But hey, I love that you do your own preserves.
>> Did you want some preserves? >> No. No. I wasn't trying to help myself to your pantry. In fact, I I thought
this wasn't going to open. Is this supposed to work? >> Uh, it's more of a visual deterrent.
>> You know why I call him Honest Nate? Because that TV clearly wasn't stolen
from the office. >> How do you know? >> Well, because I don't think we've ever
made a video on a TV that old. >> Hey, what the heck is this?
>> ABC's of Kindness. >> Exactly. >> That's what you're going to be to me today.
>> No, I mean I mean, where's your ABCs of gaming? >> Uh, nobody's given that to me yet.
>> I tried. >> I'm complaining. >> This is fun. I like your schedule. What do you mean this isn't you? It says
badminton 8:30 to 11. By the way, it starts at 8:00. >> My writing is much worse than this.
>> But I mean, you were there last night. >> I wasn't cuz I was cleaning the house for you this morning.
>> Oh, >> I mean last night. This morning. 4 this morning.
>> We have a bad night on Tuesday night. So Nate usually comes and apparently was
planning to come, but instead went grocery shopping at 11:00. Ooh, I like
your workshop. >> This is sick. Who needs to put a car in
the garage when you can put all of this in the garage? Don't bother directing me
to where I can put this spindle down. It's not heavy. >> That's fine. Yeah. Uh we can we can just
slide it into this sleeve. >> Uh
okay. >> I can't I can't be in this scene. This is too phallic.
>> Okay. Can you help guide me? >> I don't want to help you with it in that position.
>> Can [laughter] you help guide me? Listen, you have kids. You know how it works.
>> Why don't you talk us through this project because I can see you've already
done a lot of the groundwork for it.
Literally. Yeah. >> Like, did you put that outlet in yourself or did you have a pro do that?
Or should we be talking about that? >> Um,
>> what are you going to use it for? >> Well, it's a router table, so cutting
things. >> Right. Right. Basically, furniture,
woodworking. Uh, I I don't want to buy a jointer. So, my plan is to use it as a
jointer. The whole purpose of a jointer is get things really flat and get things
perfect uh perfectly 90°. >> And what am I looking at here? Um, well,
well, this is the inverter that came this is the inverter that came with the with the spindle actually. So, this is spindle actually. So, this is part of
part of the upgrade. Everything else is the upgrade. Everything else is either either Tynen provided because Tynen uh Tynen provided because Tynen uh has a
has a lot of random stuff or we lot of random stuff or we purchased um purchased um the servo drives the servo drives specifically for the
specifically for the the different axis the different axis motors. motors. >> And how exactly do you save building >> And how exactly do you save building
your own CNC router table versus buying your own CNC router table versus buying one? one?
>> Um, initially I would have said a lot. >> Um, initially I would have said a lot. >> At this point, I'm I'm thinking it's >> At this point, I'm I'm thinking it's
about equal, maybe slightly cheaper. Um, about equal, maybe slightly cheaper. The other piece that's part of Nate's AMD
Ultimate Tech upgrade today is a Prussus Core 1. I see you've been using it
already. How do you like it? >> It's great cuz I've had it for like 3 or
4 months now. >> Okay. What did you print most recently? >> Uh this is actually just a paper towel
holder, >> right? Because otherwise it would just
be like Oh, right. Cuz you need yet another one. Before we go upstairs,
we're not going to be able to see the router table running today, but you
could show us the spindle running at the very least. Yep. So, I was going to have
it hooked up to the the Linux CNC. >> Yeah. >> Um to run it that way.
>> That was taking too much time last night. That's also why I wasn't at badminton. Right.
>> I have a nice Raspberry Pi 5 compute
module with an RS45 connection that goes to the inverter.
>> This does 24,000 RPM. >> Yeah. 3.2 kW.
>> Yeah. It's a step up from It's like a 4 horsepower motor basically.
Oh, >> you you can hear them in there.
One thing that is stolen from work um are uh are these
>> Why would you take our glasses? >> I have a problem. I'll just safety
squint. >> Oh, you just wear them home. >> I wear them home. >> Dang.
>> I I do cycle them back and I clean them when I put them back in the thing.
A lot of this conversation probably won't make it into the main video, so I
don't know. LMG.gg/fallplane. >> Nice. Solid. >> Yeah,
>> it's all plugged in. And then we'll turn the knob. >> Wa! Look at it go. There's really not
much to see. Do you want to see full RPM?
>> That sounds like a spaceship. And so once it's working, depending on the
material that he's using as well as the cutting speed on the X and Y axis, he
would play around with the actual spindle speed in order to get the
cleanest possible cut. >> Yeah. So you you want to go to the point where you're basically just getting the
right size chips. And that's pretty much with all materials. You want the right size chips coming off
>> um for that given material um because that's what takes away the heat from the
workpiece. You want all your heat going into the chips that are coming off and
not staying in the workpiece itself. >> On the subject of chips, uh Nate got the
right size chip for his PC upgrade. So, why don't we go work on that?
>> Nate went with [laughter] the Ryzen 7 9800 X3D. This is just about
as good as it gets for gaming. The only thing better is the 9850X3D.
What games do you play? Um, >> hold on. Let me guess. Satisfactory or
Factorio? One of those has got to be in there.
[laughter] >> And Bro, nice. Realistically, a 9800 X3D
is good for more than just gaming, though. And obviously, you intend to do
more than just gaming. I see a bunch of storage here. >> Yeah. So, I want to set up a a NAS for
basically the household uh for pictures mostly. Um, we want to protect pictures
of our our newest addition to the family. >> Yep. >> And so we chose four brand new um 8 TBTE
drives. Uh, and to avoid the binning issue, I was told this wouldn't be an
issue, but I was paranoid. I got two different brands drives.
>> Okay. Generally, I don't recommend that. Uh, how are you planning to configure
them? >> It's going to be there's four drives, so there's going to be one spare.
>> Okay. RAID five. >> Yeah, sure. I don't actually >> RAID Z1.
>> It's going to run hexos, actually. So, is this the NAS then?
>> This is the NAS. >> That explains
the perforations here. >> Yeah. >> So, the airflow path is what? It draws
it in here over the drives. >> Exactly. Yeah. So, you can open it if
you want. >> Yeah. That's super cool. Let's Let's check this thing out. Um I did notice
you don't have all of the parts you need. >> Yeah. We We need to pull it out of my
desktop computer. >> Oh, are you? >> Cuz I'm retiring my CPU, which is a
3900X to be the server uh CPU. It will
come with its motherboard as well as its memory. >> Let's get this laid out.
>> This is um a random like testing thing for battery bank.
>> Oh yeah, right. H >> we haven't even brought up battery bank
yet. No, >> those of you who are longtime followers of the channel might have seen Nate
around for the last 3 years, I think.
>> Three years now. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I've been three Christmas presents >> and wondered what does that guy do?
Seemingly nothing. No product with his name attached to it has ever been
released. It's because he's been cooking.
It's going to be really good. It's really exciting. It's a perfect companion for our LTT cables.
I've not seen this design before. And I can't wait to crack this thing open.
Oh, that's cool. The whole thing gets braced
together with some screw on pieces here.
And then you put a big kind of cross brace that gives it
>> Well, it could be better. It gives it a shape.
And then you got magnets here to hold it onto the side. Oh, dude, this is so
cool. The whole thing 3D printed.
That is awesome. Even the drive sleds.
So, I guess step one is we got to get this torn down. >> Yeah. If only there was a tool that we
had. >> I have a better one for you. >> You have a a better one?
>> It's the stubbyish. >> The stubby. Oh, god. This This is not
going to be a thing. I want it to be a thing. Rob does, too.
>> The stubby screwdriver with a long handle. I mean, I don't know. Let us
know in the comments. But everything that we've seen indicates that most
people would simply go for the stubby with the shaft extension.
>> It is the most versatile of the screwdrivers. >> All right. If this video gets 100,000
likes, >> yeah, >> we'll do it. >> He got You got mad when I said 100,000
likes for some posters. This is a way worse idea. >> This is a worse idea than that stupid
poster. Do you know how many of those we sold?
>> Like five. >> This would sell more than five.
>> Nate would buy five of [laughter] these. >> I would. >> What better way to spend a Saturday
afternoon than building a PC with the
buds? Speaking of the fun things about my job that I enjoy, AMD has just locked
in for another year of AMD Ultimate Tech
upgrades. So, we're going to do at least another dozen of these, which is pretty
exciting for me. >> Including Luke. >> Luke's getting one. Oh,
>> I thought he's not eligible. >> It has a plot twist. >> This is a nice looking board. B58A
gaming Wi-Fi from ASUS. Why'd you pick this one? >> Well, I paid the white hardware tax um
because Yeah. Uh >> nice.
>> I don't know. I like it. >> Yeah. >> Looks good with RGB. >> He doesn't need PCIe slots. So, this is
something that I would normally make the upgrade do, but Nate is clearly very
familiar with building computers. So, I think we can just work together and get
the upgrade done. Kind of refreshing. We haven't done an experienced builder in a
while.
While I was busy stroking your ego about how good you are at building computers,
um, there's a critical error in this one. >> Oh, there's an extra standoff. And
because your motherboard back plate is 3D printed, there's no obvious way to
remove it. Maybe we could put a piece of electrical tape or something over it.
>> I can literally cut off the >> Well, there's a brass
>> thing. Okay, sure. >> Only goes like 5 mm into the thing.
>> Oh, okay. All right. Cool. Cool. Yeah, let's take that off. It's a funny thing because technically that tent standoff
is part of the ATX specification according to Intel who created the ATX
specification, but almost nobody uses it anymore on boards. There's a tendency
for engineering-minded folks to adhere
to the specification, which is probably what the designer of this case did, and
now it ends up being incompatible. >> We'll we'll throw a a link to the the
designer of the case cuz he did some pretty good work.
>> So, the standoff went deeper than I thought.
>> I I cut through the standoff. >> You cut through the standoff. I mean, that's fine.
>> I'm kind of impressed, to be honest. >> Oh, wow. You really did. I liked my idea
with the electrical tape, but okay. Yeah, >> that would have been the play.
[laughter] >> Yeah, it's really in there. That's the thing about when you do a melty standoff
into a 3D print. You >> You know what? We'll just cut more.
>> Wait. One, two, three.
>> Oh god. >> Do we got to cut more off? >> Damn it, Nate. Yeah. Sorry. You put
>> I just printed the thing. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, so you've got two more
extras. >> Nohere. These two. >> These two right here.
>> Oh, cool. >> Yeah. Cool. >> All right, I'll get cutting.
>> All right. You know what we could also do is just grab the soldering iron and push them in a bit more.
>> That This is why he's paid the big bucks. I actually did look at getting a
nice soldering iron for the upgrade. But
the problem with a nice soldering iron, at least the ones that I like, that
would have taken the whole upgrade. >> It's amazing how expensive.
>> So, I'll just use the one at work. Nothing.
>> Thank you. Going to ask about putting cuz these are 8 gig sticks.
>> Yes. >> And these are two 16 gig sticks. What should I do? Should I have 48 or 32?
>> I would just go 48 and then I would just have it run at a lower speed if you need
to. >> And the reason that I would do that is because you're not going to need the
utmost in performance. But if you wanted to run any virtual machines or anything
like that, you would want to allocate dedicated memory to those VMs. And this
just gives you 50% more. I see you got
32 gigs of DDR5 for your system. Is that just because it took us so long to film
this? Did you miss the RAM apocalypse? >> I bought it on my own through a source.
>> Oh, so what does that mean? Wait, hold
on. This cooler goes in here.
>> Yeah. >> Darn it. Why didn't you stop me? >> I >> Everything I've done today is pointless.
[laughter] >> You know, shout out to AMD, though. I think this is one of the only like stock
CPU coolers that comes with a CPU that's actually good.
>> It is legitimately good. >> So, that's going in the server build.
Um, one because I'm cheap, but two because uh it works great.
>> Nate's [snorts] got 4 TB of NVMe storage. With the way flash prices are
going, that's going to be like like status symbol. Like I wear your whole
house on my [laughter] >> Okay. Actually, I don't think this AIO
is going to fit. >> What? No, >> it was in there before. Yeah, but
>> the motherboard's a little higher. >> Where the motherboard is and where the CPU cables are are a little bit
different. >> And it's like
>> it is touching the >> and I'm trying to like give it a little bit of a push, but I can't quite get it.
>> I thought that might be a problem. Well, does it work with without these fans on
top? >> Oh, yeah. >> Then let's do that.
>> I can keep one of them. >> Oh, yeah. And then we could just
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, uh, that'll be fine. [screaming]
>> Does the fan fit on the bottom on the side, though? >> Oh, yeah. There's one on the bottom here
and one on the top here. [laughter]
>> What? >> No. The fan is interfering with the
power cable and it's pushing it. So, I can't line it up and I don't want to
bend it anymore. >> Here, maybe we can just do two two
people lining it up. I can line it up from this side. We'll we'll throw the
fan on. I can't wait for this discovery to go.
Wow, Elijah was right. >> Maybe.
>> I'm just happy they're not arguing with me. >> Arguing? This is a discussion.
>> Okay, he might have actually figured it out. We got to both the top fans in.
>> I think he just needed more hands. I think that was the issue. Elijah needs
like a a third set. Maybe fourth. Wow,
Elijah was right. I think we have the exact same issue as before with not
being able to fit my other fan on here. >> Well, that sounds like an issue. Nishme,
>> you know what we could do? >> Nope. >> We could uh cut the RAM.
>> Sorry, what? >> We we could cut the you know the the
money the RAM.
>> What? Sorry, what? Why >> the RAM? The RAM cooler.
>> Oh, >> shield thing, whatever that is, >> is the only thing blocking that from
from fitting. It was the same in my old in the old setup.
>> I can't tell you what to do with your stuff.
I'll probably just leave the fan off for now. >> Cool. Good chat.
>> What's this? >> I wanted all the drives in one thing to show you it can be done.
>> That is so spaghetti. But sure.
>> All right. Sick. This is looking like a
fine little Naz X. Hey. Um, you don't
have onboard video. >> No. >> Oh, wow. We have lots of options.
>> Yeah. So, this is the most recent 1070. And that was the plan.
>> I'm going to take the shortest one. It's a short king. Relatable. Now, let's see
what the tolerances are like for an addin card. Wow.
That's pretty good. Look at that. >> Sweet.
>> Yeah. That's awesome. This is so cool. And it only cost as much in filament as
if you just bought a case >> and $12. Cool.
>> Yeah, the the models themselves on printables cost $12.
>> We finished the Naz upstairs. We're going to bring it down here cuz this is where we had a spare display. Let's fire
it up. Let's see rolling. >> Yeah. Do we need a power cord? >> Does it have a power cord?
>> Now fire it up. >> Where's the power button? >> Power button. Well, we don't have a
header, unfortunately. So, uh, we just got to reach down. Luckily, this
>> is the motherboard. >> Has the power on? >> Oh,
baby. >> There we go. >> No smoke. So, that's good. >> Hey, there we go. Start hexos
installation. Investment disclosure. Lionus paid a lot of money to that
company. [laughter] That was a terrible disclosure.
>> He did. >> I mean, he did, you know. All right, let's install. So, we've got our four
hard drives. Perfect. >> We've got our OS drive here. And then
we've got our cache drive. That's a big cache drive, but hey, whatever. It's
fine. So, this one's the OS. There it is. We got hexos. We got our IP. So once
we finish setting up your gaming computer, we'll go to this IP and make sure we can actually manage your system.
But >> you have an as now >> and then I need to figure out the jet KVM. But
>> ah we can figure that out later. >> Yeah, >> that's future Nate's problem. >> Future Nate problem.
>> Now all we got to do is put the gaming PC back in place. Looking fly.
>> Watch the child barrier. >> Yeah, I gotcha. Yeah, these are okay
DisplayPort cables, but it sure would be cooler if there was someone else who
made even cooler [music] DisplayPort cables. >> That would be very cool.
We may want to just generally give this, you know, a before and after spit shine.
Yeah. >> You don't like my mess? >> I love your mess, but the camera
doesn't. >> Ready? >> Yep. Magic finger packet.
>> Rainbow. >> Nice. >> Rainbow von. >> Solid. The monitors aren't on yet.
Hopefully, it's just memory training. >> I was having some issues with uh stuff
at some point. >> I mean, we all have issues with stuff at some point. Oh. Oh. Oh.
32. >> Drum roll.
Hey, >> there it is. Let's go. Success. Computer
built. >> Corrupted. >> Uh, no. No, it's fine. Office.
>> There was a Christmas party. >> Actually, my first year. It was a good
hall. >> Still no internet connection. And we can't reset up the pin without an
internet connection. This is freaking annoying. We're plugged right into the wall now.
>> A driver thing. It could be, but the lights are flashing on the back of the
Ethernet port. So, generally that means that there is a link.
>> Is there two Ethernet ports? >> Okay, hear me out. Nate Linux challenge.
>> Honestly, I'd be down. >> Honestly, how sick of this stuff? >> You already got a penguin there.
>> How? Right. Like, how long does Microsoft need to keep doing this stuff
before people get frustrated with it and they just start migrating off?
>> Hey, there we go. Framework USBC
Ethernet adapter for the win. >> That's the framework. >> Yeah. Investment disclosure.
>> All right, with the driver sorted, is it time to see if we can find your NAS?
>> That would be wonderful. >> I'll stand here so we don't see his password. Let's all look at Elijah.
>> Hi there. How you doing? >> I don't like this. >> Hey, there we go. We're in. We are in.
So happy that I invested in this company.
Seriously, you've tried to set up image? >> Yeah. >> Yeah,
>> I tried to do it on True Naz. >> Yeah. before like no hexos just true.
>> Yeah, >> I hated it. >> It was. And to be clear, it's very
doable and there's lots of really great guides out there and the community is amazing and image is a really amazing
tool. This is not a knock against any of that. >> But what it isn't
>> is that easy and uh what are we looking at here?
>> So this is the battery bank. Um,
this isn't a particularly demanding scenario, but one of the main issues I'm
working with at the moment is uh ensuring that the buck boost converters,
which are the step up, step down uh for the voltage levels to various USBC
voltages, >> right? They're not going to just [clears throat] light on fire.
>> Yeah. Light on fire. So, outside of the battery bank, 41° C. That's very
acceptable. Pretty sure we're pulling 5 amps here. Okay. Um, which is the
highest amperage, not necessarily the highest wattage cuz I don't think I've
negotiated higher than 12 volts at the
moment. >> Okay. But we're going to be able to do up to 20, right? >> 20 volts for standard PD uh standard.
Yeah. >> Is it time to start teasing some of the stuff that's going to be really cool
about it? >> Probably. >> Can we talk about And uh this might not
have been really weird, but it was a really cool upgrade. We got a nice
little system upgrade with a new CPU, new RAM, new motherboard. We got the NAS
that we're watching this video off of right now where Nate can upload all of
his precious family photos and they never touch the flipping cloud.
>> Yeah. >> Freaking awesome. And it was 3D printed. How cool is that? Um, we got a big heavy
motor. >> A big heavy motor. >> And and a planer so that I can make
myself a new desk at some point. >> At some point when you finish the tree.
>> When I finish Yeah. cutting down the tree in the back. And a huge thank you
to AMD uh for making this all possible.
>> Yeah, this has been a blast. >> We missed something. You have a UPS.
>> I do have a UPS. >> Oh, that would be for the NAZ. >> That'd be for the NAZ. Yeah. >> Brilliant.
>> So, that needs to be put in the closet. >> Okay. You know what's not in the closet?
My love for this series.
Thanks again, AMD. Check out Sebastian's upgrade. He's another member of the CW
team, and that one was equally full of products that were not released yet.
Maybe even more so.
