scrap yard wars is brought to you by the new dbrand grip learn more at the link
0:07
below
0:10
my hometown uh there's a better used market where i'm
0:14
at there's more population it's more of a hub of a lot of the
0:18
the the tech companies in the pc space there's there's
0:22
just parts everywhere it's easy to get parts micro centers there as well which
0:26
is really good in a pinch if you need a
0:29
really cheap part or really cheap CPU or something but i think ultimately
0:34
it would have been easier to get people to come to us if we could smooth talk
0:38
them because everyone has cars where it seems like most people we're interacting
0:41
with in vancouver don't have cars so it was really hard to get people to come to
0:45
us but just the used market as a whole being more full of parts that are
0:49
available would have made this i think a little bit easier
0:52
okay so yesterday yeah we wrote a bunch of emails at the end of the day hoping
0:56
they'd respond yes um never even mommy back right i'm like dude call me why
1:00
didn't you show up you know we can make this happen he flakes still not convinced that's not
1:04
Linus right but even if it isn't whatever it's right the bottom line is
1:08
it's not a thing yeah so i got an email from
1:12
two people here we got two emails um warning the card one of you still had
1:17
the graphics card and we're about to locate it so i gotta respond to him that
1:20
came in last night eleven and then this dave ebert's guy
1:25
he responded to me like right end of the day yesterday
1:29
uh he's out in port moody but he said he'll
1:34
come to us he says i will make it down before lunch time probably around 11 30
1:38
and you get the phone number going oh that's awesome yeah let's call them right now
1:41
at the beginning of today we still had to sell the graphics card we still had
1:46
to hopefully get the SSD from amazon and
1:49
we still had to acquire a better than just the Intel stock cooler CPU cooler
1:55
hello hey uh you emailed me about my gtx 660.
1:59
oh hey how's it going good good uh
2:02
yeah we're totally down um would you like to meet us like at my place or like
2:07
a coffee shop near here or something like that uh whichever doesn't matter to me
2:11
because they're easier for you i get probably a coffee shop i guess that's easier i don't know
2:15
um do you want to meet at bean around the world on granville yeah on granville
2:20
okay i'll figure it out cool and then meet there around 11 30 you were
2:24
thinking yeah i can do that i can uh yeah no problem i'll book down there uh
2:29
right now okay great okay i'll see you then see you then
2:33
wait cheers cheers all right so we're gonna have 82 bucks
2:38
that was easy 83. see and that's why it was we
2:43
decided yesterday it was going to be a risk like okay do we order the t2 now or
2:47
do we wait because we we could have still ordered
2:50
until like from an hour from now still got roughly about there yeah yeah but
2:54
now now we've started finding a big cooler
2:57
it's a 23-minute walk that's closer than where we went
3:01
yesterday to sell to pick up the card so there's the doc rap pro 3 it's normally
3:05
90 bucks so that guy would bring it to us for 80. so that's a big fat double
3:09
stack that might be worth getting i mean let me email that guy back right now
3:13
yeah and see like okay can you bring it to us for 80. yeah because that's his
3:16
asking price he says unfortunately because this was a response to the email
3:20
you wrote him yesterday when he said hey there i've been looking for something cool down my CPU
3:24
could you 70 bring it out to us or 60 if we go to you right
3:30
and then his response was hello unfortunately i'm not going to come out
3:33
to van for less than what i'm asking for if you're able to come to surrey i can
3:36
do 70. let me know it works for you so that works because i lowballed him a bit
3:40
so now we can just match his actually him doing us a favor and bring
3:43
it to us for the same price yeah i'm totally cool with that so i'm gonna
3:47
write him back and say we do need the 80 in pocket this guy sounds super legit
3:51
but i'm gonna write him back right now and even see if he'll agree to it yeah sure yeah we can always bail so
3:57
we might have legit nothing to do tomorrow like during the build phase
4:02
overclocking cleaning the system out let's hope it doesn't go pop
4:08
not blowing stuff up we can't spend all of our sanity
4:12
worrying about what the other team has so we just have to go with what we've
4:15
got put it together puts together but we need to just present it and either way
4:19
it was a lot of fun we'd like to win but again
4:23
as time goes on in this competition you really start to second-guess yourself
4:26
and then you your confidence kind of starts to diminish over time i think
4:30
that's kind of where we are right now so then it seems pretty
4:34
legit that maybe that wasn't him i don't think it was him there's always the
4:37
scrapbook wars conspiracy stuff it's the uncertainty that really makes
4:42
you start to wonder and then you start to believe this stuff in your head like well that's why this makes sense you
4:46
know because he would do that to make us lose time
4:51
so just an update on the amazon order for the SSD it went out for delivery
4:57
uh to the shipment center at 2 31 a.m
5:00
and then had its arrival scan at 401 a.m
5:04
and then was set out to delivery to bring it here at 7 10 a.m i have all
5:09
that on the amazon app so theoretically it's going to show up
5:14
don't know exactly what time but until we have that in hand we can't like
5:18
feel like we're done yeah i'm pretty sketched out and we're about to blow the
5:22
rest of our money on cooler oh yeah no if this doesn't show up we lose yeah
5:27
how are we with emails there's not a lot um
5:33
we do have a couple we do have a couple offers on the
5:37
monitor oh excellent but i would sincerely like to make sure that it
5:41
works before we uh before we sell it and we need to do some budgeting here man
5:46
because right now we had a solid plan for how we were gonna get
5:51
maybe unbeatable hardware but the problem was that we started the
5:56
day with the hardware that we needed to sell
6:00
to get the unbeatable hardware possibly not working um
6:07
okay if we hitchhike
6:10
both ways we have 62 dollars
6:15
okay that's what a two-hour hitchhike um no actually hitchhiking would
6:19
probably be faster than transit because it's a 45 minute drive one and a half
6:23
hour transit run okay yeah
6:27
so if we hitchhike both ways we have 62 dollars
6:30
which means that um we have to pay anything to the driver as
6:34
a compensation i don't think that's typical we could offer them some bread
6:39
it's really quite delicious only a couple hairs in it yeah
6:43
only a couple yeah i mean only one that we found
6:48
so the backup motherboard
6:52
we've got a phone number his day is wide open
6:57
and he would want to meet at a fairly nearby sky train station
7:01
so if we have to go get the backup motherboard assuming that we do actually
7:05
have a hundred dollars we can do it
7:09
still at 90 degrees yep yep
7:13
oh i think yeah okay we
7:16
maybe one of the pins on the CPU cooler just misaligned i think so because it's
7:20
like the push push pins i think it's going to be a simple fix we discovered
7:24
that one of the brackets was broken in half and also that was not allowing the
7:29
contact between the CPU and CPU cooler to be proper and our CPU was at like 90
7:35
degrees celsius unless we hold it down and
7:38
we're not gonna do that up until that point we thought that getting a new CPU
7:42
cooler was a nice to have not a must-have
7:46
now what we should do let's use our evga poster for our
7:50
hitchhiking sign i was wondering how we were going to get
7:53
paper going to surrey like do we how do we
7:57
suggest people that where we need to go we just type in going to
8:03
where we need to go no money need hardware uh oh the guy with the
8:07
zeon says oh no
8:11
if you can he could meet at brade sky train station but only if we can wait
8:14
till 5 30 or 6. no yeah no it's okay we'll just have to
8:19
we'll just have to do it to go there earlier or to go there or not to go at
8:24
all no no we have to go earlier
8:27
i think we got to do it i'm also hearing back from someone on
8:30
the monitor excellent um he says okay let me know how the other offers work
8:35
wait a minute did you tell them i didn't say there were other offers oh my god is
8:40
it the guys upstairs i wonder if they sent us multiple offers
8:45
that's okay though because we don't need any more money but it would
8:51
be nice right because
8:55
we don't have enough money for the motherboard no but we also don't
8:58
necessarily need the motherboard okay what's what's our team name um
9:04
we could go with dmitry tech tips
9:09
we could go with uh
9:14
Linus canucks we could go with
9:18
i don't know i'm kind of flexible let's do demetrius demetrius
9:23
but we need a Linus in there somewhere dude yeah i'm the us
9:27
oh i see okay so do me trust like this
9:30
yeah that actually has like kind of a power that's kind of a powerful name
9:35
on let go we just received two reviews
9:38
uh-oh my review johnny crow quick response is
9:42
still waiting for the purchase lots of questions at this point what oh i got
9:45
three three stars three stars and let go
9:50
and he's reviewed two of my purchases what maybe i should review them
9:55
yeah be like asks a lot of questions
9:58
bad buyer
10:02
no cash money here's the monitor powered on if you want to meet in the next 30
10:06
minutes i'll be around near vgh
10:11
can i get your email so we can text instead of email
10:14
oh we might be getting rid of the monitor right now sweet and where did
10:18
you find the cable for it uh oh i just borrowed one off of oh yeah your stuff's
10:22
not charging max
10:27
i want the shadow rock the shadow rock has a lot more cooling potential i think
10:31
so we're worried clearly yes
10:35
like quite worried that's not gonna quit if we if fish comes to shove we can use
10:39
two sticks get everything running or one stick to get everything running
10:43
and then at the workshop just dremel off
10:46
the parts that stick up on them but if it's heat pipes we can totally
10:52
no on the on the RAM oh
10:56
yeah we could do that because they're just fired yeah yeah we could do that we could just band it off
11:01
probably yeah i'm not really like second guessing our build i'm just trying to figure out
11:05
like the two ninety ti's is the thing that can be does i think
11:09
that's the only thing that could beat us
11:12
or three two nineties so
11:16
all of our stuff is gonna fit on our SSD once it shows up we're not worried about
11:19
storage space anymore which is good um this guy said he would come to us
11:24
where can we meet so it sounds me like he has a car right if
11:28
he didn't have a car he would like hey can you meet at this station yeah
11:31
probably he might end up being like oh can we
11:35
meet closer to a station but it sounds like he has a car yeah
11:39
um i'm also possibly not expecting to hear
11:42
from him until around three o'clock because if he's like i'm not free till
11:47
three maybe he'd just message me at work which i think we're safe to wait for
11:50
because we could still make it to ncax and back in that amount of time it's
11:54
only 26 minute walk it's not a big deal so we're gonna wait until we have a
11:58
backup if that drive for some some reason gets lost or doesn't show up
12:02
i'm all for just like leaving that one and not saying a thing
12:06
and let him find out when he watches i think really
12:09
dead serious if it were like single teams
12:12
that's exactly what i would do
12:16
Linus really badly wants to run ashes on a very high preset which is something
12:20
that we just like don't do because we still think he has sli yeah
12:26
probably because he's running sligh nine atis
12:29
not going that way that's the waterfront we don't want that
12:33
it's going this way yeah
12:39
550 we start considering other options
12:42
bus to ncix because they close at what
12:48
six um probably about then
12:53
yeah we have enough time to get there
12:56
barely that's all we got to do is get in the door right
13:01
you might end up being late though yeah but i mean saying as long as we get in
13:04
the door there right they close at six at like 5 55. he's like we need to we
13:09
need to but then we'd be late back
13:13
yeah i said a bunch of times we got to figure out what the penalty is if we're late
13:16
back today we can talk to ed
13:21
uh basically a scrap system that's like the
13:24
best we can get for like nothing yeah pretty much so that's why we were like
13:29
we wanted to get what's up man so you recognize us yeah yeah
13:33
we gotta bounce like immediately though yeah we gotta we gotta get on the bus now so thanks a lot man we appreciate it
13:38
it says 26 minutes on the bus from here
13:43
yeah so amazon delivery driver just called me
13:47
and was like hey i'm at your address it says the wrong
13:51
address by the way i verified it in the app it's right
13:55
um and like the owner of this house doesn't know who you are
13:59
and then the owner grabs the phone and it's like hey yeah i'm from this address
14:03
so i check my phone just to make sure that i type i said the wrong one check
14:06
the amazon app they're saying the wrong thing
14:10
he just tried to give the ssc to someone that wasn't asked luckily the guy that
14:14
you tried to give it to apparently awesome dude told them that
14:17
it wasn't the right place now the amazon driver is apparently driving to where we
14:21
are trying to go right now so hopefully the SSD will be here on
14:25
time hello
14:28
if you're facing the house um you should see steps that go down
14:33
and then there's like if you look to the right there's like a swinging bench
14:37
that's just inside the property it's the one on the left
14:42
it's the one on the left
14:45
it is the house on the left it is the unit on the left
14:54
sorry no do not take it back with you it's it's the house on the bottom floor
14:59
i i'm not entirely sure what to tell you it's actually not that complicated if
15:03
you're facing the houses if you look to your left
15:06
it is the one furthest to the left right yeah yeah
15:11
it's a grey fence there's a gray fence uh there's there's a step or two that
15:15
goes down and then once you look to your right there's two tiny little like kid-sized
15:20
chairs and then a wooden bench okay awesome if you leave it under the wooden
15:24
bench that would be great the address i guess got auto-corrected by amazon so it
15:29
actually was like slightly down the street instead of right actually here so
15:34
they ended up bringing it to the wrong house and then luckily oh my goodness
15:39
luckily the guy that was there was like my name isn't luke you brought this to
15:44
the wrong house so it's actually working out everything's going to come back together
15:47
in the last like half an hour right yeah it doesn't it's oh my gosh
15:52
it's on there i told him to put it under it but like
15:55
at least it's there oh
16:00
okay what so what time is it 5 40
16:03
at 5 40. we got our last part so we made it back with 20 minutes to
16:08
spare we got our
16:11
dark rock pro 3 which funnily enough when uh Linus and
16:16
dimitri were walking in i saw that they were also carrying a
16:20
black uh be quiet! box about this size so
16:24
it would be it would be pretty funny if we both at
16:28
the very last minute on the very um essentially last day got the same cooler
16:34
although i don't know how they got theirs because if they have the same one
16:37
because we only saw one listing for it so i wonder if they bought it new that
16:42
would be really interesting because i think this would be the first time that anyone brought anything new to scrap
16:46
there was also our SSD came in
16:52
there it is boom
16:56
120 gigabytes of SSD goodness
17:00
so we're good to go that's all of our parts tomorrow we need to install the
17:04
cooler install the SSD migrate all the files that are currently on our SSD over
17:09
this SSD and then it's just benchmarking time
17:12
let's go it is illegal to hitchhike
17:16
here oh
17:21
okay then we're screwed
17:24
we're a six hour hike
17:28
oh my god it's so far we have to transfer three times
17:32
and is this all buses bus train no and then bus
17:37
two buses and one train we might get away with one fare then
17:42
so we tell the bus we're getting on the train right we pay for the train
17:46
then we train bus
17:50
bus back onto the train and hopefully we're good yeah
17:55
as long as we're back on the same route to go back in the same platform yeah
17:59
okay okay
18:03
okay everything's getting real so i'm asking
18:06
the six core guy if you can bring it to coquitlam center which would probably
18:10
save us a fair back the girl with the combo for the CPU motherboard
18:15
and RAM is trying to negotiate on price but i'm
18:19
holding firm but what that would mean is that we
18:22
could sell that whole combo
18:26
for and fifty five dollars
18:29
which even after we go buy our motherboard again
18:33
would give us a hundred and fifty six dollars for a cooler so i messaged a guy
18:38
in richmond asking how much to deliver of course our
18:41
so we can find basically let's find every cooler we can and see if we can
18:45
pay someone 10 or 20 bucks to deliver deliver to us yeah
18:49
okay he just confirmed he can do it he can deliver
18:54
oh the zeon he's bringing yeah the guy zeon guys bringing it to the bus depot
19:00
we are almost there we are like a few stops
19:04
let's see yeah oh this is
19:08
exciting okay okay so so we gotta pay
19:12
him 150 450. let's get that ready okay sorry
19:17
hit me hit me before agreeing to sell our 960 and the
19:20
motherboard in the RAM combo let's verify that the xeon and the RAM work
19:25
yes on that motherboard and if they do work on that motherboard
19:29
should we still do the swap
19:32
the p60 is a better board and works with our high bandwidth bridge
19:37
i see okay but we should go get the p60
19:40
deluxe right from here okay before we even go back
19:45
we have enough money i
19:49
we do as long as we sell that stuff away
19:53
oh crap no i'm gonna ask that guy if he can deliver
19:58
okay they're negotiating they want 150 for the whole lot
20:02
what is that that's five dollars off
20:06
okay i can't meet until
20:10
late this afternoon though
20:13
okay so CPU motherboard RAM combo guy or
20:17
gal wants to meet at 5 30. so that's perfect
20:21
because by then we'll be done
20:26
at some point Linus and dimitri managed to get the motherboard seller to drop
20:30
his price 50 bucks down to an even 100
20:34
although it looks like even that might be just out of their price range oh is
20:40
it because we're paying this guy the delivery fee yeah did we already verify
20:45
that we have gonna pay him one wait wait hold on there's oh no it's a quarter
20:48
um oh shoot
20:52
hello so here's the CPU oh excellent here's a
20:55
RAM okay look at this
20:59
xeon w 3670 all right thank you
21:04
exactly that subscribe and we got the uh
21:07
ha ha no just kidding okay you got your money
21:12
looks fine i'm sure it's fine he seems like a trustworthy gentleman
21:16
all right so i have 150. awesome
21:20
i i i recognize your voice oh
21:25
and then this is for your fine way it's good are you sure yeah i'm are you sure okay
21:30
oh okay thank you so much take care
21:33
okay so
21:37
so he did not take the additional 475
21:40
which means which means we're good with money we got
21:44
exactly a hundred dollars but i already messaged the guy asking if he can take
21:47
okay we'll maybe write him back i'm just gonna be like yeah i found five bucks on
21:51
the side of the road okay okay yeah six core xeon guy
21:56
kind of saved our butts uh he didn't end up charging us to come and meet us at
22:01
the sky train station which was really nice
22:04
19. oh my god we're like a dollar short
22:07
we're less than a dollar short we're like we're like 20 30 short okay instead we
22:12
had 99.70 like 75 cents so i didn't feel too bad
22:16
about that yeah we're i think we're good if i message him back i'm like look we've got
22:22
99.70 he should be okay with that
22:26
i have 99
22:30
and 70 cents and 30 cents ain't one
22:33
um i'm super stressed out on our way to
22:38
meet the hundred dollar motherboard guy though because we couldn't get in touch
22:42
with him stupid me i didn't realize i actually
22:46
had a phone number after all but then i called the number
22:51
and it was like a landline and i was like
22:54
who uses a landline hi i was uh calling about that
22:58
motherboard and you said you were gonna try and get in touch with him yeah i just talked to mikey
23:02
here to pick it up and then meet you at the skytrain oh well that's fantastic um
23:08
great thank you where do you think you'll be there um
23:12
well we're at uh what station are you we're at brentwood town center now
23:16
and so we just need to transfer so we'll be there when we get there
23:21
the ncix broadway location is walking distance from my aunt's house and it's
23:25
actually uh no we won't have any money to buy it on the way back it's it's
23:30
our motherboard CPU RAM pump first so what we would have to do basically he's
23:35
arranged with that lady yeah
23:38
or should we get the motherboard go home and test it first and then agree to the
23:43
sale and then agree to the sale yeah i mean technically we've already agreed to
23:47
the sale so it's deciding whether to back out of the sale
23:52
right so we're okay with time yeah well our
23:55
bus transfers are still good for 40 minutes
24:02
this is so tense
24:06
i knew that Linus would be you know
24:10
luring me into the water situation by saying we will get you in water
24:14
but i was smarter than that i brought my own water for the whole day but i felt
24:19
bad because lioness didn't have any okay so we're meeting at the tnt
24:23
uh we heard from him while we were on the train i was like yeah did you get my
24:26
message about the 99 70 cents he's like no i didn't but it's cool okay don't
24:31
worry about it so that's great also get this this is only a 15-minute detour
24:37
even if our transfers expire so in 25 minutes even if we don't catch a bus
24:42
closer to my aunt's place we are still only 15 minutes out if we
24:47
walk compared to if we had just bust back to
24:50
her place so things are going things have worked out
24:54
really well right now best the best time to know the city is when you actually
24:57
get the public transport you explore via google maps walking yep cause otherwise
25:02
we're gonna have to walk back to my aunt's place so yeah
25:06
enjoy so we're meeting him right in front of
25:09
the tnt here
25:14
uh and he's coming on an electric scooter he said he was about six minutes
25:17
away about five minutes ago so any moment now let's get into a shadow
25:22
uh yeah good call
25:26
we always hide in the shadows
25:30
still no oh hi to the motherboard yes
25:35
all right cool
25:40
oh okay perfect wow that is quite the
25:43
packaging you got there
25:48
oh i love your hair
25:51
that's nothing i get comments all the time on the dick bud on the back of my car
25:57
okay so theoretically we can bus back and
26:01
it'll save us 20 minutes excellent do you want a bus or do you want to walk let's bus okay so um um
26:07
uh are we on the street where we can take the bus
26:11
okay here we gotta walk we gotta walk down abbott
26:17
okay rabbit right here yeah so this is this way
26:20
we gotta go wait so the tnt
26:23
is supposed to be on our left so we need to go this way you need to go
26:28
up yeah that way
26:32
so motherboard combo will meet us at ncix
26:36
but can't get there until 5 30 or maybe a little bit after
26:41
it's a 25 minute walk okay back to the house okay so here we go i said look if
26:47
you're a little bit late to be 100 honest the issue is that i
26:51
don't have the money to buy the thing until after we meet you so if you can
26:56
give me and my friend a ride to ncaa then it doesn't matter if you're
26:59
a few minutes late oh that's perfect what did they say
27:04
uh it looks like that's good to go
27:08
amazing what's up am i just running beside the
27:11
car no you'll get to drive yourself oh okay so we get to ncx store and we wait
27:16
for him this was at 5 30 so timing was very close we're freaking out a little
27:20
bit saw Linus on the poster at the ncx store so that was a little bit you know
27:24
he still had a little bit of messy hair and the screwdriver but then the guy
27:28
finally shows up we get our money run to the store to buy the CPU cooler which
27:32
was already prepared and we are on our way that was the last
27:36
piece of the puzzle for the build very happy how it turned out so dbrand
27:41
is calling their new case the grip for a reason
27:44
well a couple of reasons number one sitting on a plane or prop up your phone
27:49
watch a movie put it on your water bottle good idea oh
27:53
bad idea with a grip case
27:56
good idea reason number two let's say you leave your phone on the hood of your car or
28:00
something by accident you're getting in you don't want it to slide off while you're driving right
28:05
it's the grippiest case free king ever
28:10
reason number three actually nothing to do with the grip
28:14
part of it at all it just has full phone protection so you can like
28:18
scratch it around on stuff and do this and you can like drop it and whatever
28:22
you guys have been seeing it in scrapyard boars for three weeks you've
28:26
been asking for it and now it's finally here go buy a dbrand grip today at the
28:32
link in the video description heading into the final day luke and jay
28:36
aren't feeling too confident while but this is scrap yard wars then it ain't
28:40
over till it's over don't say the quote wrong don't say the
28:44
quote wrong but do you know what the quote is no
28:49
good job everyone just goes i am your father but he's correcting him yeah
28:55
yeah don't go that way it's are the fins over top that way
29:00
yeah yeah okay so
29:04
hey Linus where's the dremel
29:08
is it like probably upstairs
29:11
okay okay so what you can probably do right now
29:14
is leave one fan off put two of these in
29:18
and just keep going and then i'll work on modding
29:21
what's the least unsafe way to do this
29:31
did actually hit you
29:35
you know that's staying
29:42
luke hurt himself he's gonna file a claim
29:50
um i don't think i'm gonna bleed
29:56
yeah no it's already bruising pretty intensely though
30:01
it's gone it broke
30:05
the stem of it broke
30:08
me neither so the stem of it came right off i think
30:11
we were sabotaged it fired out and hit me in the shoulder
30:19
dude that looks so much nicer than even needs
30:22
to that's awesome now at this point they're both supposed
30:27
to be benchmarking but it seems like both teams still have some finishing
30:31
touches to put on but i would still always recommend
30:35
even an aio just because of the ease of installation
30:39
oh yeah well that's the biggest thing with the aios in my opinion
30:42
remember we bought the be quiet! cooler on your recommendation
30:46
it's going to perform very well i told you that the mounting mechanism was
30:50
shite but you wanted the dual tower
30:53
yeah so which way do we
30:57
which way do we go maybe you're just a big be quiet! fanboy
31:00
i am such a pain in the butt
31:05
i just hate having so much memory i can't get at the 8 pin with this
31:09
stupid ginormous cooler in here it's like why are water coolers popular when
31:14
they don't perform better this is why the cable bones connected to the header
31:19
bone the header bone is connected to the motherboard bone
31:24
the motherboard bone is connected to the case bone
31:28
the case bone is connected to the table bone
31:32
the table bones connected to the floor bone
31:37
i think this is probably the first scrap yard wars where i regret nothing so
31:41
Linus i have i have a gift for you you have a gift that is going to be
31:46
used to either for you to keep for yourself or use as
31:50
an accessory for this case oh
31:55
that is beautiful and you know what
31:58
i don't think it counts as being part of the system if we put it next to if we
32:03
put it next to the system yes and
32:06
right this is so great
32:12
look at look at this
32:15
look how cute it is
32:20
it's not turning so maybe now that we know why it was so tight
32:23
okay it's good
32:35
it's off it's shutting down starts off
32:42
i could start playing with the overclock down there on the CPU
32:45
uh if you want to but i need the system drive so you wouldn't be able to test it
32:50
no but i can at least start checking where i can boot sure you want me to do
32:53
that save some time yeah okay so right now
32:56
i'm hoping that paragon disk image software
33:01
works on Windows 8
33:05
because my computer is still Windows 8.
33:08
paragon disk image software which is what we're planning to move all of the
33:11
stuff from our test drive to our actual drive
33:15
uh doesn't work on Windows 10. so
33:18
we're going to see if i can mirror everything over
33:22
using Windows 8 as the host drive
33:26
did you just leave the benchmarks or
33:31
yeah like we have a drive that works it's just not our drive
33:36
so like if i can verify that our SSD
33:39
works then they might be cool with us just using
33:43
the other one because it's not actually impactful on performance
33:46
but i want to like i haven't even verified that it works
33:49
yet and so like if i haven't verified that it works they'll be like what because
33:54
that's fair if they're higher than 85 of our score i'll be pretty surprised well
33:59
we've got some really important stuff to do while this is running where do you want to put this
34:03
you you choose it you choose the place of honor
34:06
here let's see well normally i'll i'll man
34:10
the glue gun it would go like here but that's not really visible right yeah do
34:15
you want it kind of like we need like a place of honor yeah we'll like cover up
34:19
and it might get stuck in here though it's kind of a perfectly good you know
34:22
case yeah what if it was the dial it was the dial
34:26
for oh yeah if you want an extra like turn hit that's that's perfect do you
34:30
like that yes let's do it that means that we're ruining 920. um
34:35
i think it's okay yeah okay and this is 100
34:39
so yeah okay so we're gonna position it square yeah so it's perfect i like it
34:43
that's how you know it's the correct let it uh let it cool a little bit
34:48
what wait what is that
34:56
okay i'm gonna just position this guy here for now
35:01
we'll just we'll step it back a little bit and uh we'll be glad that we ran
35:05
these benchmarks before we had to submit to judging
35:08
you okay there it is
35:13
it works fine
35:17
yep it works great okay so they might be cool with us just using it
35:21
uh in the interest of saving time yeah sure we'll we can we can bend the
35:27
rules i would consider that bending as long as their SSD actually works and
35:30
could hold all the stuff if it came to that
35:34
okay um i think after this coin and after this
35:38
thing finished
35:42
all right so there's a little there's a little present for the judges
35:46
you know oh it gets stuck jammed yeah
35:50
did we oh crap no it ate our
35:54
no way this is like an arcade machine oh i see it ate it do you uh have a little
35:59
yeah uh i can see it right there guys we need the pliers back
36:05
oh my god are they magnetic
36:08
i don't remember if two knees are magnetic oh oh wait wait
36:14
i fixed it no we're good we're good
36:17
oh no i don't need them thanks ed
36:22
luke quit panicking
36:35
but i feel like i'm going to leave the voltage higher higher
36:38
and okay right
36:47
pretty much
36:53
okay oh crap it does melt it a little
36:58
um what
37:01
did that just with your system may not what happened
37:06
what what
37:12
you know what i'm kind of getting cold feet
37:17
on the uh on the CPU okay oh my god okay let's just
37:23
i'm just gonna dial it back a couple notches
37:26
just the last thing i want is for us to not
37:30
run our benchmarks
37:34
yeah if we if we don't go back default if we don't complete yeah i think we
37:38
have to go back to stock right okay so it's better which would be really bad
37:41
actually for our config there we go
37:45
now that is a control knob
38:02
we're ready to test a benchmark you can test the benchmark i mean you're just
38:06
gonna have to test it
38:13
are they ready yeah are they ready
38:18
ahead guys yeah hit it just check now we'll check
38:21
our options here
38:28
it would really suck it would suck for us to be like okay we're done when they let us use that
38:32
drive i know i don't really want to do that because
38:36
yeah i think we'll continue
38:39
how much longer do you guys think you need
38:43
because we're like i don't want to say the magic word
38:47
to trigger ed we are in a state at which we could do
38:50
things um but you guys were
38:54
bros about the drive things we don't want to you over
38:58
we could sit down for a little while we are a state at which we don't need to
39:01
touch the computer uh for for any major uh significant
39:06
reason okay cool that sounds like you're ready to i don't
39:10
know words that start with r no i'm still eating lunch we're good okay we're
39:15
good we're ready okay we are ready for them to meet the
39:19
demetrius the god of the god of gaming
39:26
what green beast all right come on
39:31
wow this is rather anti-climactic do better next time a prime
39:38
what the hell is that
39:46
now it's time to see which one of these is the more powerful build
39:51
demetrius or the green machine
39:57
is that our dark rock pro it is not we went and got that at the exact same time
40:01
you guys got yours we didn't know like 10 minutes earlier getting the exact
40:04
same item and we're really curious as to where you got yours because this was the only one like that we found online what
40:09
do you mean the only one this was the only dark rock pro 3
40:13
on the craigslist uh oh well we bought ours at a store i
40:16
thought so see i called that actually we got enough money so we can buy yeah
40:20
that's right yeah is that one of your phones we have so
40:24
much sponsor money from putting really money our d brand phone oh yeah look
40:29
around the back yeah wait we already have a fiber yeah
40:33
oh you got some fiber what
40:37
oh he's putting his d brand d brand all
40:42
right i can counter this i can sell up i can
40:46
sell out harder than you brandon where's your big things
40:49
your big flags
40:52
hold on here
40:56
here's our dbrand macbook and alienware
41:00
and here's my personal phone which also has
41:05
dbrand dimitri dimitri where's your macbook
41:08
i don't have anything
41:12
who who can sell out harder
41:19
yeah that's right oh yeah all that dbrand
41:24
your personal phone is skin too isn't it okay okay yeah
41:29
yeah well i have like whole d brands
41:38
for you benchmarks we've got cinebench and adobe media encoders
41:48
i bet our system is pretty different from what you guys think it is
41:51
yep i bet i bet your system is super slow
41:57
well that's not really a bet when you're making an observation
42:01
actually it's not that no it's not that far off is it well we started uh it's behind i didn't
42:05
realize he started it when he did yeah we started first
42:09
oh this one i don't think it's enough
42:13
well these this is a slow pass here though down this right hand side oh
42:17
okay what happened there
42:21
okay we're done what do you guys got
42:26
9 33 9 12. oh
42:32
wow so for the camera
42:36
the way the scoring works though is that by being 20 points behind
42:42
that's only two percent so effectively we get 10 marks they get
42:47
9.8 this is really close
42:54
okay um game still open for you guys yeah uh
42:57
yeah okay okay three
43:01
two one go
43:04
okay this time we started at the same time so it should be a fairer fight
43:07
we're already ahead it's crazy
43:17
303 236.
43:20
and i think our bar's ahead of theirs too
43:24
it's kind of hard to tell to be fair but yeah i think we're like a scene behind
43:28
holy crap no we're quite a bit behind they're like here
43:35
oh oh no
43:42
what are the rules on that is it three questions i think you have to try again
43:45
okay i think you have to just kind of like
43:48
really that's right that's what we were testing
44:04
yeah okay okay
44:07
so after the CPU benchmarks the green beast is ahead by three percent
44:12
three two one
44:19
i think this is where we're gonna lose our three percent one where we're gonna
44:22
be like rip good game
44:27
gg i certainly hope so although we did load
44:30
faster that's just i know
44:34
that's like one of the hardest yours is so slow at loading
44:37
well you know what it isn't how you load the game it's how
44:42
you play the game get a more proper process if you need all those FPS to
44:45
catch back up you know mr proper processor we won one of the CPU
44:50
benchmarks straight up oh yeah because that was fun
44:55
also you were telling me about how this is always choppy because of the um
44:59
i didn't say choppy i just said that part of the test you said it always does
45:02
that i mean it clearly doesn't always do that because 35 FPS was so fast
45:09
i mean if we want that cinematic look you know what though that works the FPS
45:13
luke oh really the FPS does it still work
45:17
the FPS is not as high as i expected it to be though
45:21
uh it's pretty monstrously high and it's higher there so
45:25
i don't know what you're talking about man
45:28
like something it could have throttled
45:31
oh yeah that drop that dropped like 600 points okay
45:36
you guys can run it again if you want you you guys can run it again if you want
45:40
i'm uh you know known to be to my own detriment
45:44
pretty lenient with the other team
45:48
if they need more time do you like our symbolic uh
45:54
how did you get one wait you brought that okay that's not actually part of
45:59
our system but our system has another really crazy trick because i bet you
46:03
haven't even seen it so far look well there it is
46:06
whoa there's a system where'd it go
46:11
bam oh my god i'm i was wrong about your
46:15
platform i wonder if i was right about your platform before you changed it
46:20
but i'm i was wrong about your platform no way no for sure
46:23
that's closer to what we got before 54.66
46:27
you guys are probably around six thousand let's see well why don't we
46:30
find out what's six thousand two hundred seventy
46:34
whoa
46:39
oh damn
46:42
okay so fire strike score we got 7
46:45
929 and the green beast pulled in 5
46:49
462. so that puts us
46:53
at 4.8 and then four point four so we
46:56
went from being three percent behind to just under ten percent ahead
47:01
three two one hit it
47:04
i never run fire strike so i legitimately actually don't know what they're running
47:09
oh yeah okay that makes a little bit of sense because it should actually be
47:13
pretty obvious but if you don't run fire strike if that
47:16
makes sense like the system didn't lock the game just stopped going oh is the system
47:21
working yeah we have the cursor control delete
47:24
okay well i'll let you guys uh let you guys figure out your stuff there
47:28
but i think it's uh i think the audience would know which
47:31
machine they'd want to be using by this point in time
47:35
everything's so smooth here i know everything's just going exactly
47:39
according to plan you know what maybe theirs is going
47:43
according to plan too maybe our plan was just to have everything run perfectly
47:47
and their plan was to kind of you know dick around you should call them team
47:53
green machine dick around mobile uh so part way through the ashes of
47:58
singularities ashes didn't even technically freeze
48:01
though because the cursor came up yeah so it just like stopped the benchmark it
48:05
was like a soft lock and then i went to go kill it with control delete and it
48:09
didn't say that it was hanging yeah
48:13
you know what we do have a ups shut it down again let's just make sure
48:17
maybe you guys are just kind of borderline confident that everything's going great the whole time both of us
48:23
that's because demetri is a yes man well if things were going the way that
48:28
they were going for us you'd have been a yes man too
48:31
i don't know why'd you make a last-minute switch in your whole system it was not a last-minute switch yeah it
48:37
was a planned switch last minute
48:40
i like this guy that is some
48:44
that is some world-class spin doctoring right there
48:49
all right guys average frame rate all batches 50.0 what
48:57
do we want to verify settings are you sure you did it right
49:00
it's nothing worth it's nothing that we are exploiting let's just say the
49:04
developers are actually there's a specific reason why a lot of people use ashes uh when testing multiple gpus that
49:10
are on a certain team okay well why don't we move on to rise
49:14
of the tomb raider so with the way it's going right now
49:19
green beast is about five percent ahead at 6.8
49:25
versus 6.5 yeah i know and one of them is heavily
49:31
you know leaning the other way yeah we'll still lose but that's fun it makes
49:35
you closer
49:41
it's hard to there's just a lot of stuttering on both sides anyway
49:47
when it looks over that mountain it likes to do that even with really good systems
49:50
when you're inside the cave let's see what happens i saw a bunch of stuttering
49:54
right there but we also get the wrong screen we had a bunch of wobbling too
49:58
yeah okay oh i saw they're stunning on my
50:02
side yeah it should i didn't see anything
50:08
what do you think Linus what's your opinion you're more in the middle than anyone i think ours is running smoother
50:13
but i don't think it's by as much as i'd like our benchmarks going to end significantly sooner overall it's only a
50:17
53.4 61.61
50:24
that's a significant amount so i think they're gonna be ahead by like five percent again
50:29
hold on it hasn't it hasn't updated yet so we got 61.61
50:35
and they got 53.4 which puts us at a dead heat
50:43
what the heck 8.2 to 8.2
50:47
wait a second hold on no we've got a problem with the formula oh no i put
50:52
them copied i copied the formula wait a second wait a second
50:56
okay okay there was a formula error
51:01
so we're actually ahead
51:04
but only by what like two percent 7.7 to
51:08
7.6 going into the last benchmark
51:12
i stand by what i said we did better than i thought we would how we've done considering
51:17
and there are there are lots of benefits to the way we did our system as to why
51:20
