i am trying to make a burlap rope for
0:07
the gears that will go on the back panel
0:11
no I do not know how to make rope i
0:14
don't know how to do basically any of the things we're doing so
0:18
winging it so I'm getting close this
0:21
burlap stuff sucks to cut this is taking forever but I'm actually getting like a
0:26
kind of decent looking rope out of this so that might work out getting it to
0:31
connect on each end is going to be kind of annoying and hopefully this is even
0:34
long enough if not I can cut the other side and make it long enough but that's
0:39
going to be even more annoying cuz that's more joints
0:42
and uh Rod seems to be pretty damn good
0:46
with his hands but I don't know if he's a pro sewer yeah I don't know about that
0:50
yeah so I don't know if I could quite make my We have a sewing machine thanks
0:56
for the tip Ed look look at what he suggests I use
1:00
there's literally like a pale on it cuz
1:03
they had like cloth and burlap and stuff they just didn't have wood really right
1:08
so that should kind of work out i think I might need to cut another one right
1:11
cuz once it goes all the way around the wheel on the other side it's going to be
1:14
all pretty so I'll cut another one of these and we'll somehow get them together
1:23
so I've wrapped the fishing line around it and then saturated it with some uh
1:29
whatever this is acrylic epoxy I believe
1:32
um and it actually looks like it's kind of going to hold so that might just work
1:39
it is a little bit bulgy there which isn't great but it should still turn so
1:46
probably fine all right so we are trying
1:49
to get to our pickup for I believe the
1:52
SSD uh which is at Trail Appliances
1:58
so our pickup for the SSD is at 2:30 this clock's a little bit fast so we've
2:02
got about 15 minutes and then we've got another pickup a ways away at 3:00 that
2:09
is for the system and then half an hour after that we have another pickup at
2:14
3:30 for the power supply and maybe
2:18
somewhere in there we're going to try to figure out getting to uh Home Depot and
2:23
Canadian Tire because we probably need some more paint you think so yeah we
2:27
need some more paint and uh we also could maybe do with two more tiki
2:31
torches maybe not even for more fire probably just for feet on the case yeah
2:37
don't look up that wouldn't be helpful
2:41
is that him i don't know all right just
2:44
shuffled in his chair that was weird
2:48
give me a sec back up so you can see his plate yep
2:55
yep that's him
3:00
way to be helpful by waving back bro who
3:04
do you think I am i like beside him so you can do the deal no no that wouldn't
3:09
be weird at all
3:15
thank you and I also give you my card
3:19
so that if there is any problem okay
3:23
just fold it i think it was listed as an 850 Pro it was was it 840 Pro
3:31
my fault does that make a difference to you yeah
3:35
it's a little slower
3:39
that pay me less okay it's my mistake i'm sorry sorry about that just a sec
3:43
let me just check this i could be wrong but I just Yeah I think it was
3:48
I need a 10 i need a 10 there you go so uh yeah have a good run we saved
3:53
ourselves 10 bucks which is almost enough to buy the paint we need which is
3:56
awesome and uh we got an 840 instead of an 850 which is really not that big a
4:01
deal to us so it's it's fine it's an 840 Pro but it's not an 850 Pro right so we
4:07
got 10 bucks off right it's still pro drive it's still going to have really good um right speeds um but we save 10
4:13
bucks and we kind of need that 10 bucks if we need another campaign
4:17
so we were supposed to pick up an 850 Pro from the old dude in the blinged out
4:22
Audi but that didn't happen he had an 840 Pro and he gave us 10 bucks back I
4:29
guess but that super wasn't worth it because everything was budgeted out and
4:33
we ended up with 10 bucks extra at the end of the competition so yeah would
4:39
have liked to have that 850 Pro
4:43
what is this place you guys just like fix computers and stuff or Yeah it's not
4:47
fixed
4:51
channel name channel name we just uh picked up our main system
4:56
component we got a uh HP system with a
4:59
uh 860 quad core processor and 8 gigs of RAM um that's the parts we need it's a
5:04
standard form factor it should fit just fine in our case the power supply is a
5:08
strange form factor but we're picking up a new power supply at our next stop and
5:11
so I think we're good to go
5:16
i'll open it and check it out but
5:20
okay got the power supply got it for 50 bucks instead of 45 because we didn't
5:25
have correct freaking change which sucks i screwed that up spent one of our $5
5:30
bills at Home Depot when I should have just gave her a 10 was trying to get rid of our small small bills but that
5:34
actually ended up screwing us over but that's okay go home we're currently plus
5:40
five because we saved some money on the SSD although I would have rather not
5:45
save money on the SSD but whatever time to go home we're going to try to stop by
5:50
uh Canadian Tire hopefully they're going to have more tiki torches for us then we
5:55
can scavenge those for more case feet so
5:58
we have um $21 and uh 35 left
6:05
and uh 10 cents in Canadian Tire money left tire they actually had somebody
6:10
deliver something here to the shop for them last night
6:15
i'm just taking apart the computer we bought so that I can take the parts out
6:20
that we need get rid of what we don't need and start trying to figure out how
6:24
to get it all set up i guess
6:29
the screw holes might be normal but like
6:32
this comes from the power supply
6:36
like what the wonder if that powers the power supply fan back through or
6:40
something
6:43
power command it doesn't take a 24 pin
6:48
it takes a bunch of these
6:51
takes three of these the power supply pull the power supply
6:56
out that one doesn't have enough power to ship which poison it it won't power
7:02
the GPU and obviously power itself but no GPU so
7:08
this is the blue wire the purple wire is 5
7:12
volt stand the blue wire is negative 5 volt yellow wire should be 12 volt wire
7:18
ground green wire power command that makes
7:21
sense screen wire probably still
7:31
so we've got a problem right now where
7:34
um one the back panel for this case is
7:38
riveted on so I have to drill it out two
7:41
it looks like the heat sink might be mounted onto the back panel instead of
7:45
onto the motherboard three it has a proprietary motherboard power system
7:49
does not use a 24 pin uses some crap
7:53
weird connectors this sucks the board we
7:57
got doesn't support standard power and it's got some pretty weird mount points
8:02
so we either have to like seriously dur jury rig a bunch of power um or we have
8:09
to figure out something different with the board
8:13
trying to map out what wires have what voltage in them so some of these are
8:18
pretty simple the brown wires are definitely not so I need to figure out
8:22
what they've got going so if you get that to work you're a hero if not I
8:27
don't blame you i check the voltage on the brown wires are 12 volt um which is
8:31
good the yellow wires should follow standard and it needs 12 volts so that
8:34
makes sense the power command wires uh I
8:38
know at least three of them i'm hoping three is maybe enough and uh so I think
8:42
I can make it work
8:49
much higher probability of a smoke show though we're just adding to our fire
8:52
effects right do you want to test bench this thing yeah I do um let's see we
8:58
don't have a heat sink right uh I can make this work ignore the test bench
9:02
stuff keep working on something else okay so this is ready to test it's only
9:08
It's Everything's correct except for two wires okay holy if this works like
9:14
if nothing else we will have the most badass story
9:20
i think we're ready to fire if you want to see it
9:24
no peripherals but we'll see it pop up on screen all right
9:28
yeah i wonder where the pin is to start
9:31
it yeah
9:36
try PSWD what the heck's that try that
9:39
password what's password it won't work cuz it's not connected so what's crazy
9:45
is I think if I jumper the power supply right here it will turn on hold on
9:50
things are spinning oh
9:54
nothing on the screen yet i wonder if it needs that card
10:00
does it cuz there's no integrated there's no GPU on these not an 860
10:09
dude whating post did it i reset the
10:13
CMOS oh my god
10:16
oh my god okay Austin this is how you wire up a
10:22
computer when you don't have quite the right wires press through
10:47
so they're still working uh we're going into our overtime which is okay because
10:51
we had overtime left they went half an hour over their overtime so I asked them
10:55
if they wanted half an hour less for today or if we could have half an hour more they said they don't need it but
11:00
they're clearly still working overtime which is bull but is very good because
11:05
we need the time so I'll take it
11:10
yeah I think uh Ed's right though what
11:14
need to screw up the front a little bit more yeah we do that's where I'll use
11:17
the the Yeah
11:23
we're get we're wrapping this thing up we're working right now to uh sleeve all
11:27
the wires and uh get everything hooked up and tested inside the machine that's
11:32
not going to catch fire ed
11:37
stop we can't have reason in this build or
11:41
else well I don't want anyone to die okay not I don't want some people to die
11:51
good outer we could sprinkle this there's a lot of him
12:00
so hopefully 3M sticky stuff isn't flammable
12:05
and then and then hopefully the burlap
12:15
all right well we're uh over time and uh
12:19
still have a few things to plug in but uh I think we still have a pretty
12:23
awesome project so hopefully the judges just take that in consideration
12:28
i have an update for you okay what's up it looks like we're going to run 4.4 4
12:32
GHz on the CPU 1.1 GHz on the GPU it
12:37
looks stable but I want to get that power supply back in there before I run
12:41
it again so I'm feeling good okay so this is the
12:46
only one we need to pull apart then I'll start working on that i'm glad you're my
12:49
partner all my bits are in one place my
12:53
remaining tasks are prepping everything that needs to be painted blue because we
12:57
are doing silver and blue
13:00
so what do you think is that blue good i think whatever blue we've got i know
13:04
right blue is blue man shoot okay I'm
13:09
getting kind of tense right now just got to calm down okay we've got 45 if you
13:15
can give me 12 minutes so I can assemble it
13:21
i'm more worried than I was the time
13:25
time snuck up on me a little here okay so
13:30
uh I'm just trying to douse everything with paint and then we got to wait just
13:35
a few minutes here
13:38
oh man my fan's unplugged over here
13:49
they're
13:59
not exactly the super brightest blue so
14:02
what we did was we gave it a kind of a cloudy blue appearance right we were
14:08
going for kind of like a just a artsy blue
14:19
about the tops on
14:31
get our stuff we all wanted but it's not that bad dude it's all clean inside and
14:36
everything and if those light I'm just hoping the lights work i mean we haven't
14:39
tested it yet um do we have a power cord just to turn on
14:45
oh my god we have lights and everything
14:53
so I just have to find the Here we go
15:02
oh my god dude dude that is not freaking bad for what
15:08
we just did brother oh my god dude
15:13
yeah it should be booted yeah it should
15:17
give me a sec here i had the CPU fan plugged in wrong
15:23
hopefully that was it and hopefully it didn't break anything
15:28
whoa
15:33
that is that trace is burned to sh what
15:37
the That definitely is
15:40
what the hell for repairing this thing we might as well try
15:45
um better to do yeah
15:50
scrapyard Wars will return after this message from our sponsor this episode of
15:54
Scrapyard Wars is brought to you by Dbrand makers of the precision cut vinyl
15:59
skins that you see on the phones and laptops of the contestants they may not
16:03
be bulletproof but they look really cool try out their configurator at dbrand.com
16:08
linked in the video description so if it requires 12 volts yeah but it shouldn't
16:14
care cuz if we don't plug anything into that header then like I think it's
16:20
broken somewhere else okay so what did you want to do to do that you just want
16:24
to connect so if we connect the 24 pin in here all right well hold on a second
16:30
cuz this will provide 12 volt yeah see that's why it doesn't make sense like
16:33
providing 12vt power to here shouldn't help anything yeah it's supposed to be
16:38
putting out 12 volts doesn't need 12 volts
16:42
so so I think it's just bricked
16:46
we can try for lulls and I think what we've done here will effectively
16:51
do that if if providing 12 volts to that pin
16:55
somehow helps so we can try it but I don't think based
17:01
on what I know about electromalicity
17:04
um no I'm with you this isn't going to work
17:14
that shouldn't have worked why did that Dude don't question it why did that work
17:18
don't question it right now okay we hotwired it okay hold on let's try
17:23
let's just sanity check okay was it the cleaning up or was it our stupid wire
17:27
i'll pinch you and we'll make sure this is actually happening here we go i'm
17:31
pulling it out that wire should not help
17:34
you know what unless that little strand back there was touching something when
17:37
because it was like leaning over on the circuit board yeah but like I mean our
17:41
wire shouldn't have helped it should be the cleaning up that helped you have got
17:45
to be kidding me the wire fixed it
17:51
what the actual let's just get it back together one more one more shot i have
17:56
to just to prove it okay just This could be like a whole show right here just
18:00
figuring out how in the hell that possibly works okay pinch my ARM just
18:05
Yeah it's good
18:09
holy there it comes
18:13
holy
18:18
Oh my god CPU fan air yeah oh
18:22
you know what
18:25
that's it it's working somehow oh god
18:29
i'm not going to question it 4.4 4 GHz
18:34
um everything seems to be hunky dory that
18:38
game's supposed to do that that weird glitchy looking thing
18:46
what a freaking day so day four of Scrapyard Wars time for judging oh the
18:53
power's out so we picked up everything and we
18:58
brought it to Luke's house where there's still power uh we haven't done the big
19:02
unveil yet but the systems are here so uh all right rod and Luke are grabbing
19:06
their piece of crap and Bob and I are going to pull hey Bob where's our
19:10
masterpiece right here all right so let's bring them into the garage and
19:13
then we're going to get set up for the big reveal i am super excited not to see
19:19
theirs cuz it's going to be kind of worthless but uh I'm super excited for
19:23
them to see ours that's for sure there we go let's go let's do this first
19:29
I want to show you guys how the judging setup is going to work so we're going to
19:32
have all our judges doing POV footage with their Dbrand skinned phones just
19:37
like that showing us what they're looking at we're going to have a laptop
19:41
uh streaming for a wide angle here and then all the contestants
19:48
I'm not coming back in here Rod so you can start setting up then the teams are
19:52
going to sit here and see the live stream of the judges commenting on the
19:57
systems um and making their own comments on the judges uh either wisdom if they
20:04
pick mine and Bob's or their complete ineptitude if they pick the other system
20:09
so uh I'm excited i don't know something crazy
20:14
going on there's some shenanigans because I saw Luke walk by with a tower
20:19
from the shop in the back walk by the
20:23
window heading that way so I think they're going to pull a switcheroo
20:27
they're going to like It doesn't matter what they do though i mean let's be
20:30
realistic so they're probably going to like pull a switcheroo they're going to say "We're going to go out there they're
20:35
going to say that's what they built but it's not going to be the real thing they
20:38
built or something." I don't know i don't know yet but something's going on
20:42
uh you mean that beige tower yeah cuz I saw that before it was just sitting out
20:46
in the open i don't think they're hanging that place so Luke just carried
20:49
it by though the window i saw it go by the window so I don't know
20:55
i don't trust them i don't I don't trust them either trust them about as far as I
21:00
can throw them and they're both about twice my weight so
21:09
the window just popped loose which I thought I might have begged it when I
21:12
transported it hopefully it's okay
21:43
burning
21:47
oh wow
21:50
the light kit's on fire
21:54
i don't know what the hell's wrong with these light kits
21:58
that's what I saw yesterday it was same thing
22:02
is it still going i don't think so cuz it's it's running now so it's not
22:06
shorted but is that it crackling i don't think
22:10
so i think this is still wet i hope not cuz I don't want to run it
22:15
without lights i'm feeling my hands are nice and toasty i'm pretty confident
22:20
that light kit kind of scared me a little bit but we knew I knew there was an issue with it that's why I unplugged
22:24
it last night cuz we didn't want it to have problems um but uh yeah she's ready
22:29
to rock and roll by definition I think there is a real
22:34
fire hazard and to be honest should probably never actually be ran as in an
22:39
old system
22:50
oh man is that actual fire yes the sign
22:54
says the sign says danger actual fire
22:58
we'll see if I can get That's why it was so smoky in the So there's a there's
23:03
like a blue flame shooting out oh there's a fire yes it is yeah we got
23:07
more top here wow this But this is
23:10
dangerous to keep it at home though okay yeah that's very dangerous obviously
23:16
we're all looking at this one
23:20
wait I can't hear you
23:23
are they in there so there's like a what's the there's a
23:27
power that's a meter there's a power meter front holy man there's a power
23:31
meter there so we have a before and after so this is the same case that we
23:36
modded are we maxing out the connection kick out a couple people who you want me
23:41
to kick out leave one competent leave John on
23:45
kick off oh man let me see if I can actually
23:53
turn off your phones like completely completely
23:58
there you go so so what is what's happening here cuz there's like there's
24:02
also like some sort of like cloth shroud or something cuz there's like a power
24:07
supply here and there's the graphics like cloth
24:11
don it's burlap wow they really seem to
24:14
be attracted to our case we got two of the exact same case so we can show like
24:19
a before and after okay that's a very good idea because we had actually
24:22
discussed maybe like putting a picture of ours before cuz you did you couldn't
24:26
really tell what we did so So what case do you guys have it's a pretty modern chassis isn't it okay can should we move
24:32
yeah let let's move on to the next one that apparently is another computer
24:37
looks like a giant iMac um so yeah it
24:41
kind of does look like it
24:45
has blue heat you know the other one has blue as well there's blue RAM the card
24:49
right here says danger actual fire because I didn't trust Taran and Dennis
24:53
around the fire i I realized they were judges was like "Oh I need to put
24:57
up a warning sign for these idiots." Fire so oh there's like another thing up
25:02
here too okay so when these two thing done they have to replace with the thing
25:07
every time so and you can make barbecue here there's safer ways there's much
25:12
more if you do barbecue you're going to get grease all over the insides of your
25:16
computer Dennis you're just going to It's just going to ruin your computer
25:20
you can't use it as a barbecue you can do like It's purely marshmallow
25:24
marshmallow yeah you could you could toast a marshmallow no you're going to get marshmallow in your computer it's
25:29
going to fall off not if you do it correctly dennis doesn't know how to do marshmallow marshmallow marshmallow you
25:34
could do it without it falling off cuz back on this one I feel like it's been
25:37
neglected i noticed that they spray painted the graphics card oh yeah it's
25:42
blue ated everything else as well um I
25:47
think there's maybe even blue water in there it's nice but it's it's certainly
25:51
not a massive flaming death machine yeah you see see like outside that and this
25:59
is cool like this one is like sleek it's
26:02
very clean it's This is a very very clean looking build cable management is
26:07
fine it's good they use big tube to tie
26:11
all the cable in the thing is that what is just a what what can they quit
26:14
looking at your case for like 5 seconds rod had an idea now to use hoses as
26:21
cable sleeves yeah so we sleeved oh we weren't able to oh yeah that hose that's
26:27
cool oh so they they stuck all the cables inside the hoses to match good
26:32
heaven that's a really good idea and it looks good too if marks you you can kind
26:37
of see some of the wires though like over there yeah that was kind so I'm gonna I'm gonna mark down one point
26:42
lower than the other one oh I like this so you can touch it you can feel it's
26:46
kind of like Yeah there's a I'm very
26:50
afraid in the touch pulley over here are a nice touch i don't think they really
26:54
do anything but it's still pretty cool they put that i like I like they have empty top so Oh these aren't actually on
26:59
that look at that hang on hang on this pulley is loose
27:04
getting dark for a loose pulley it broken no it broken transport oh well
27:09
maybe you should build a more durable mod oh I didn't see the kind of like Mac
27:15
theme like what mad Max mad Max mad Max
27:18
it is a Mad Max computer back here they
27:21
figured out the theme mad Max so I'll give you guys that looks pretty awesome
27:25
our theme is more abstract it's more like clean you know like not like 2005
27:30
silver and blue this is I mean jeez man holy mackerel creativity like straight
27:36
up like straight up i don't even think he knows what that word means the other
27:40
judges to be honest i don't know what the cloth is i'm not sure what it's
27:44
there for i mean I think it does fit i just don't know what it's for yeah it
27:48
doesn't make sense to me have they not seen that
27:53
i don't know dennis probably not um
27:57
actually maybe none of them john probably i think maybe not
28:02
there's a lot of like cloth and broom
28:05
it's not but I think Well water does it
28:09
see water does it shoot water i I I should hope not i think the I think the
28:14
cable management in this thing is super clean though like they have I mean it's
28:19
not like a case that has a lot of built-in cable management but the way
28:24
they bundled everything look at the bottom there like everything is super
28:27
super neat what does Taran know anyway i think we all can agree that John is the
28:32
most competent judge so if if John likes it then you have to throw out the top
28:36
and bottom scores so Dennis is the only one
28:41
but only cuz he doesn't know what's happening so he just writes down random numbers it's not awesome it is and like
28:48
even cable meant to match the theme on this one it did so if this one
28:56
it's technically proficient lighting is fine i mean there's there's one light i
29:00
think the motherboard uh there there's a light on the I never got to change the
29:05
light on the CPU but there were a couple little housekeeping items I wanted to do
29:08
today i have an RGB LED on my CPU block it's supposed to be blue our our
29:12
lighting strip is screwed cuz we wanted it to be red our red channels are dead
29:16
too yeah it's the same strip same strip it's probably just dead cut it and use
29:21
We each used part though but overall I mean I like it i think it's I think it's
29:25
well done it's not It's not this but you
29:28
know I don't know lighting is exterior finish i don't know if they changed it
29:34
exterior finish oh no i see they're finally talking about our system so you
29:38
guys I think this was spray painted let's see
29:41
i think it was You know what it feels It feels It feels a bit more sticky than it
29:46
should so I think they It feels spray painted it It just reminds me of of a
29:50
Apple machine i'm not I'm just not sure because like it's a ve especially for
29:55
Scrapyard Wars it's a very very clean looking build it's a very attractive
29:58
build it's like something reborn from garbage can yeah but
30:05
it's just a clean build but for creativity I'm just not sure i can feel
30:10
new life on this one it's cool but not
30:13
unique i have to say it's not unique the look is not unique i think it's because
30:17
it's beside this one like I really like how they did the paint the silver and
30:21
blue i think
30:25
you get you John get wrecked
30:31
i want a new judge i can just fire him you know do it i
30:35
could actually fire him before he fills out his clipboard oh yeah substitution
30:39
you know even though I'm I'm still very impressed by this one but this one has
30:44
fire coming out of it i mean it does have and they they they did the cable
30:48
management in such a clever way the hoses go so well with it but this thing
30:53
is not very tight enough come on
30:57
it is but I mean
31:00
seeing that it really doesn't do anything it's just sort of there for looks i think you know we'll sort of
31:05
overlook it okay okay okay well I I gave
31:09
it like pretty much almost full marks over here because as soon as I walked in
31:16
my eye was just like drawn kind of here
31:20
for obvious reasons and cable management
31:24
is the only thing that I marked down a bit because I can still see some of the cables kind of in there that are not
31:29
covered with the fancy cable thingies
31:32
490 all of these cables are they put in the
31:37
tube but there are couple out of the tube but I like the way they cable
31:42
manage this creative i like and it fit
31:46
the thing it look like a Mad Max machine okay so real quick uh 48 out of 50 for
31:51
aesthetics um again repeating what these guys said cable management loved it
31:56
especially because it fits so well with the theme um couple wires sticking out
32:00
that's the only reason I didn't give it a 10 out of 10 i give it a nine lighting
32:03
there's actual fire i can't really say much more than that inside looks great
32:07
full marks for that exterior finish I gave it a nine out of 10 lots of detail
32:12
i like the texture here like the grill here the pistons power meter only reason
32:16
I didn't give it a 10 i think you could have done something maybe a little bit with the IO shield on the back like this
32:20
one did and this one didn't have that but that's okay n out of 10 uh
32:24
creativity 10 out of 10 i don't think you need to say much more about that
32:27
continuity score again i like how everything flows together so well 10 out
32:31
of 10 there 48 great job
32:35
all right computer two i gave Well I don't know i I gave it a 32 total out of
32:42
32 um I I don't know i just like it it
32:46
looks like it looks fine it's It's actually great like if this one wasn't
32:50
here like if if let let's imagine that we have this one instead like this would
32:56
clearly be awesome but I just I'm just
32:59
there's no I feel like there's no contest it looks like something I'd see
33:03
at the Apple store and it's nice it's good but it's it's just it's not
33:09
it is good i don't know what do you
33:12
think Dennis i gave 38
33:16
dennis is so ashamed okay okay dennis
33:20
you're up i'm I'm not really good at being a dick so
33:25
it looks cool it looks cool i like the
33:28
color you both use blue that's true i noticed
33:33
that like the the same broken LED
33:38
uh creativity i gave six i'm sorry cuz here this is like student
33:45
film i'm Wow wow wow
33:55
oh my goodness okay there's nothing I haven't seen before but thought it was a
33:59
good job overall also 8 out of 10 exterior finish also an eight because
34:03
this feels like it's painted i like how he did the blue here the back the IO
34:08
shield and the PCI covers are also like
34:11
all that nice blue color i thought that was very well done eight out of 10 there
34:14
so my overall score was 40 out of 50
34:18
all right there we are i do agree
34:24
they nailed it they hit it out of the park on their build but I also don't
34:28
think ours deserved a 32 out of 50 score from any of the judges that went pretty
34:32
well i was actually pleasantly surprised by how much they liked our build i mean
34:37
it definitely had uh some rough spots like with cable management but uh it was
34:41
a pretty badass build so go for it what
34:44
do you want to do first uh sevenzip sevenzip
34:50
and
34:56
the five pass is done okay well that's a bad sign
35:00
so I'm kind of sketched out about how fast they are but we do have more
35:04
threads than they do and we're running Cinebench i don't I know threads help a
35:08
lot in Cinebench i don't know if it's going to help enough if we win this that would actually be really freaking bad
35:14
okay let's see this see the carnage oh that's a little rough
35:19
okay okay so that is that is a sizable
35:23
victory in Cinebench which I feel pretty
35:27
good about ready okay go
35:34
we're going to get chunks
35:40
we're running two suckers seed two did
35:44
you not know that already no I didn't know that already
35:51
oh crap I quit the game
36:01
experiencing a CPU bottleneck right now
36:07
yeah with that said these are very high
36:11
settings and some stutter is to be expected
36:15
okay all right oh sorry i stabilized the card
36:20
using the skybox test not the normal run test so we throttled to about a third of
36:26
the clock speed that we normally run at and ended with a frame rate that was
36:30
about half of what I was testing on Skybox test so let's have a look here
36:37
that's not as bad as I thought it was going to be
36:41
i mean that is a significant victory for team bonus there's not as there's not as
36:46
much CPU based stuff our our clock speed
36:49
dropped down to 300 right like
36:55
Yeah we don't have to actually take it down
36:58
well that's fine
37:02
all
37:06
right let's see shoot yeah we needed a lot more than
37:11
that oh wait oh no oh no no no i read the wrong number yeah
37:16
i was looking at the maximum FPS yeah boys okay
37:20
is it getting hotter in here this is still going to be really tight dude the
37:25
trash talk look at him he's all scared
37:29
trash talk soon trash talk soon i still
37:32
think they might win 86.7
37:35
86.7 86
37:43
86.7
37:48
play good game you guys
37:51
wow

38:14
Group you're the best around enjoy your
38:17
eternal bragging rights oh man thank you
38:20
guys so much what does it say loser plaque a+ for effort award presented by
38:26
Lias Media Group we tried really hard and lost at least it was fun to watch
38:33
i think the fans of the comments will agree that it was really fun to watch oh
38:39
my god oh totally got to get a So yeah
38:42
thanks again that was a that was a well
38:45
fought battle well fought battle you guys oh man so uh yeah I guess you get
38:52
the rhyme may I say that when it comes
38:55
to performance out of the junkyard
39:00
oh did I carry the team oh my god you carry You guys are not going to believe
39:04
what's in here so I've got my 2500K is
39:07
at 4.4 wow nice 4.4 rock solid rock
39:12
solid i have 16 gigs of RAM i have a 250
39:16
gig 840 EVO nice i have an ASUS P67
39:22
uh P like P8P67 or whatever how much did you get the board for i I spent a lot on
39:28
my CPU board RAM well you wanted to but
39:31
like couldn't i have a CX600 power supply so actually somewhat decent cx500
39:37
yep um and then that's an R9290 so we
39:41
did our best to dress up the reference cooler but the overclock saved us oh I
39:46
mean the purist in me said a 2500 K with
39:50
an R9290 needs 16 gigs of RAM and I was
39:53
like I'm this system if this was in a store for $900
39:58
I would buy it and that's what we built we built a real system that I would buy
40:04
for better or for worse i'd buy mine as an art project not a computer you guys
40:09
nailed it you guys nailed the mod as much as I don't like the way that the
40:14
scores were broken down from some of the judges and the aesthetics I think they
40:17
didn't consider exterior finish giving us a six out of 10 is totally unfair in
40:21
my opinion i think they were just I'm not trying to I think they were just
40:25
kind of boring yeah and I think that's like it's very high quality
40:31
is crazy and whatever yeah but the I'm not trying to say it's No no no we
40:34
understand definitely but it's one of those things where in spite of that I'm
40:38
not going to say that we deserved a proportionally different score compared
40:42
to your mod so I appreciate that i will give you that that was This was sick one
40:47
thing that I want to say is the next Scrap Wars we might want to do outside
40:50
of this area cuz I think we're starting to loot all the good hardware and
40:54
there's nothing left all the smack talk aside that was the closest
41:00
Scrapyard Wars Tech Showdown anything
41:04
that we have ever done it was super
41:08
close both teams performed amazingly well but for all intents and purposes
41:13
that was pretty much a tie but unfortunately pretty much a tie isn't
41:17
good enough team Lionus and Bob takes away here we go the Supreme Champion
41:23
Award winner plaque and Rod gets to go home with the A+ for effort award thank
