what oh who cares what it's gonna
support stop taking shortcuts
i'm not taking shortcuts you're taking
shortcuts i'm not taking shortcuts
um man where's it's like
why does that guy live in the middle of
nowhere like this it's ridiculous
colton hello
hey there it is we found it
these country bumpkins they don't even
lock their doors you're late
it's uh this is a this is a great door
you've got here colton
he wanted me to mention that a thousand
dollar door no wonder his streaming
setup
sucks fortunately we are here to
fix it courtesy of intel it's extreme
tech
rig upgrade whatever we call this thing
time and we had a
5 000 us dollar budget to turn colton's
very mediocre gaming and streaming setup
into an
absolute masterpiece i'm pretty jazzed
let's do it
[Music]
david is our camera
guy he's so nice
i don't know what i'm doing why don't
you start by walking us through the plan
yeah
so first order of business is this is
actually steph's desk
and we're gonna steal it we're gonna
take it because it's way bigger than the
desk i have now
i need i need more room for the games
now i couldn't help noticing that your
desk has got a bit of a
smile it's got a bit of a smile yes um
happy desk
i accidentally threw away the extra ikea
dust like please don't do that
i threw away the extra leg we were gonna
put another leg on the bottom of the
back
yeah i actually didn't get that so we're
just gonna have to yolo it that and one
small challenge today
we have only four hours to complete this
project because colton went and booked a
piano tuner
to come in on the day of our shoot dude
i booked it like a month and a half ago
the guy doesn't even respond to emails
oh
wow i don't know it sounds pretty tuned
to me yeah it's only just
it's mainly the d i've actually been
here before so i guess we'll head to the
computer
you guys have moved everything around
you got your tv over here now and uh you
still got your drinking problem i still
i
don't barely even drink that's why
there's something what are you talking
about there's nothing but like booze
everywhere
check this so the kitchen you got all
your wine over there you got your wine
no supplies
i mean what is this i don't i barely
drink it all
and then well you're gaming you got
yours coca-cola drink the coke zero
but you can't show these things stop
dude i can see why you're uh
trading out your desk yeah i am actually
is this even no it's not attached to
anything oh yeah my monitor actually
show the monitor
this is fantastic the monitor's broken
i've been living with this for the last
year and a half okay so then what i got
to do is i got to leave something moving
on the screen
and i got to leave it for about half an
hour and then randomly it'll just go
it's totally fine okay it sucks walk me
through the plan
i love this chair by the way this is
this is oh man you guys do
if you haven't seen the short circuit
that we did on this you should go check
it out
so what we're actually doing is we're
getting rid of this and we're grabbing
steph's desk
that we were just looking at we're going
to put it here get rid of this tv tv
never use the tv well i heard emerson
makes really good tv
i bought this 10 years ago it's
fantastic moving this stuff over
and then that's essentially it the
cougar gaming chair is going to go over
here
i'm going to get rid of this chair
hopefully the one that i got it's an
ergo chair hopefully it's a little bit
smaller
and then yeah hopefully the room will
just feel a little bit more open
i'll have more space we're upgrading the
rig as well yes now do you have any
streaming specific upgrades so the first
streaming upgrade that we're doing is
i'm swapping out the logitech c922 for
an actual like dslr camera because why
the heck not so i've got the sony a5100
i believe we've got another elgato we've
got the elgato ring light
as well and then i think i'm keeping my
audio set up the same
and yeah it's mainly just the computer
we're really beefing up the computer and
we're definitely changing the monitor so
we're going 1440p
two samsung g7s um it's gonna be pretty
crazy so
that'll be good to get rid of this mess
and then the other problem that i was
having with the rig itself
is i had a 1080 ti and i don't know what
was wrong with it but it kept crashing i
got i
had to get rid of it so i haven't been
on the game for like a month so it's
actually like perfect timing oh great
so we got a 3080. is this a uh is this
like a family journal of yours
harry potter oh because my last name's
potter that's funny that hasn't been
done before
wow as for the rig this is pretty
exciting colton
is the first one so far to just kind of
go
ah you know what i don't need no
insignia
emerson tv upgrade or anything like that
i just want the sickest
gaming rig because that is exactly what
we're building today
we're going rtx 3080 we're going core i9
10 900k
we are going sub ambient
cooling assuming that it's actually in
here did you
should we put it in here yeah it feels
pretty light are you sure we'll see how
this goes oh wait no it is in here okay
good
we're going sub-ambient cooling like
this is gonna be pretty much as fast as
it gets
yay no offense but while i get
the computer going okay maybe you
leave go do something else what well
anything you could move a desk that
seems like sort of a cult
he doesn't trust me you don't trust me
that he could do all right fine
well i i can help with that do you need
help is it too heavy
one problem we're gonna have colton is
that if you're not honest with me i
can't help you with the home rig upgrade
what do you mean what
you told me that you lost the extra leg
oh wait what what the legs right there
what stephanie we've had the desk for a
while and so it bows
a little so when i finally got around to
like putting the extra leg there yeah
it lifts the four other legs and kind of
levitates them off the ground i saw the
right leg
like a wobbling situation this video is
already ridiculous
hold it hold hold oh my god you're gonna
break it you need
different socks take your socks off so
is your monitor working
look at this fix itself told you it's
been about half an hour
there's a lot of dog hair yeah the dog
was sleeping in here until yesterday so
the dog shed all this hair between
yesterday and actually no no i i just
didn't clean it properly
is this the stock mount for this monitor
yeah isn't it terrible what even is this
i know it sucks
that monitor is going to go or are you
going to have like a third monitor
this monitor is going to go i bought
this monitor nine years ago from best
buy for a hundred dollars and it served
me well
see you later you did an extremely poor
job of painting look at this you can see
right through to the previous color
they call me the one coat wizard it's
like an inch off the baseboard oh my god
and the paint job is even worse around
the top of the room it like
honestly looks like you were drunk
stop grabbing all this it's gross i
don't even mind oh
whatever i got pets too here i'll just
i'll
shake it out you got to vacuum the air
colton
ah it's everywhere
this is a really nice floor though oh my
god can you just lift
it's heavy though right that's why we're
lifting it so we don't destroy the flow
it's not that heavy at all it's fine so
we got uh
what do you do have a look here we got
some batteries what are you doing got a
hard drive
that's my old for my whole computer
power bank how do i get stuff off look
at this look at this accepting bribes
from corsair free power banks wow you
got like an ssd in here and everything
got your kingston bribes
bro they're not bribes i bought them
wait a minute
you got to be kidding me are you a
twilight fan sir
no well you've even got the
couldn't wait for the paperback release
oh oh i got this you okay nice no no i'm
good i'm good it's all good do you need
a drill
oh god oh god no oh my god is this gonna
have to just stay here
it is stripped as hell
it'll work eventually
all right go ahead and pull it off the
wall oh my god look what you did
my paint my beautiful paint
i'll hang a picture there it'll be fine
long boy coming through hold on give me
a little bit of time
give me a date hold on i don't want to
go you got very expensive door frames i
don't want to break them no no not those
doors just the front door so where do
you want it you want it
that's exactly yeah yeah okay oh it's
pretty close yep yep and then past it
stephanie i'm sorry your bridal shower
now it's time for us to build a flippin
computer here
dude look at that this board great value
z490
pro ax from eures we actually used this
for uh i think it was the couple's pc
it's got basically everything you need
got your m.2 got your
wireless got your all that good stuff
and
doesn't cost normal leg honestly the top
of the line rigs are some of the least
interesting to go through the part
selection process for
it's like why'd you choose the 10 900k
sir uh because i had like
you know an unlimited budget so i just
got like the fastest gaming cpu yo dude
i gotta be able to stream
game multiple games email million chrome
tabs
everything oh yeah how much ram did you
get i don't know about that chrome
i got 32 gigs for storage
with an intel one terabyte 660p ssd
that's our boot ssd we're gonna install
that puppy
right there can i actually take a moment
to appreciate gigabyte
for pre-installing all these screws in
here instead of just having them in a
little
non-resealable baggie in the stupid
motherboard box we've got 32 gigs of
corsair 3200 megahertz clc
good bang for the buck we run like six
chrome tabs on that puppy
one and two you are rammed up now sir
sweet i'm ready i can feel it oh yeah
we're coming home with the case
i'm going back to nzxt i was with
corsair for a little bit going back to
nzxt
and then i went to corsair and it was
great i probably didn't even need a new
case but
here we are we got a problem no i think
we do have a problem i think i can see
it what's up this is a triple
radiator and this is a this is a pretty
it's nice
you know it's nice yeah but it's a
mid-tower case
yeah um and that's a problem oh shoot
this computer too
is only dual 120 mil we could just reuse
this cooler i guess
oh that's a bummer you're not even gonna
have the cryo cooling anymore yeah that
does suck that's an oversight on my part
i didn't uh
oh no yeah so i think i figured out what
was wrong with your old computer
it was just never you had no cooling my
man like were the fans never plugged in
properly
yeah they're working oh this just
happened yeah oh
yeah you gotta like clean your computer
look at this it's like oh that's really
bad it's actually thick
my thermals weren't bad your thermals
were bad drop it
drop it my thermals were bad apparently
i'm so sorry sit
thing is you're not supposed to have
your pump at the top of your loop air
bubbles blah blah blah
shorter life span problem is in this
particular case
i really don't think there's anything i
can do about it if i mount it
tubes down then you're gonna have bigger
problems like that i have to put the
fans on this side in order to get it
close enough and you're gonna have that
dust build up again which realistically
i don't think you're gonna clean so
wow i am going to just say
yeah let's do it yolo all right
we're at sorry everyone sorry steve
sorry steve i let you down
all right so while linus is building the
computer i'm actually going to
try and be helpful and build this chair
my nice amazon ergo chair
amazon basics every amazon basics thing
i bought is exactly what it's supposed
to be
it's like yeah it's basic but it's gonna
work and you're probably happy to spend
an arm and a leg for it i'm honestly not
a huge fan of your case choice here
colton no
a 10 900k and an rtx 3080
and this thing has like no ventilation
in it like
you got your solid front panel and then
even on this side look like there's a
gap in here for the fans to pull in air
but like
from where that's it that's your whole
that's your whole air intake there
like it'd be fine if you were just going
like you know
rtx 2060 and like a mid-range cpu or
something but
well this is a 30 80. yeah literally top
of the line
yeah okay yo i think i'm gonna like this
freaking chair
my guy i think it's gonna be good dude
here's the deal these two thumb screws
right here yes
every like i don't know a few months six
months whatever
you pop them off and then you see that
yeah you give it a little like vacuum
on the front there oh come okay and you
get all that stuff out of there yep
don't vacuum anything else just the
radiator here then you just pop those
two screws back on you're clean
no offense to cable mod but i'm just
gonna take these things off at the angle
we're bending this i really don't think
they look better
i'm also a little worried about your
power supply choice to be honest with
you i actually thought about that
afterwards
as well 750. like yeah theoretically a
focus 750 is gonna do you just fine
but that's theoretically we're talking
rtx 3080 yeah
900k here boys i just feel like this
chair's not gonna hold up well
over time i could be completely wrong
yeah the mesh butt and then it's like if
the mesh fails like
you're going your metal butt this is a
whole reel of rgb
yeah i'm not putting this in here what
if i told you it goes on the outside
okay that's fine though
oh lioness look at that thing
it's big it's a big boy dang
she's a thick boy all right look at that
holy schnikeys
that is one tight fit
boys it is millimeters from that fan hub
i love how unnecessary it is to have two
g7s oh this is
like you could just as easily have one
g7 and then like
you know something it's not really a
problem
but these are european models
so i brought the european to north
american adapter home but i don't
remember where i put it so it's gone oh
that's not even the thing
wow why do you have that i have no idea
why i have that what is that
it's literally like this big and it's
like white the monitor comes with a
[ __ ] adapter colton where
no that's okay no that is the one that i
brought from work
shut up that's where was it it was in
the box
yeah i brought that from work that's not
with the monitor
i'm prepared he's so full he told sturf
when she was looking for it that it was
white
this isn't even white i think it goes on
a little something like that
okay yeah who needs cooling anyway right
i mean it's not the prettiest machine
i've ever built but it's not bad
that's not bad it's all about the power
let's put it in there let's see if it uh
blows up when we try and power it on
does it go right in the middle of the
desk
it's going to go on the floor yo bro
it's got to go on the floor
this is terrible what yeah terrible
yeah it's terrible yeah but i don't have
any support
well that's why this is here we're gonna
put the support
oh my god
once the monitors go on it'll be fine
all right let's take a look i'm not
worried about it yeah
you're not worried about anything it
seems so well yeah that's none of this
is my problem
uh
i don't think this is gonna work it'll
be fine okay we've got spare wood
i'll cut like shims to go underneath
each of those legs
done but it'll never correct yeah then
it'll stay saggy
oh who cares what it's going to support
stop taking shortcuts
i'm not taking shortcuts you're taking
shortcuts i'm not taking shortcuts this
is the long-term
better solution i'm sorry when i get mad
i point sometimes
camera goes here modeler monitor camera
goes where you
just point it at your monitor camera
goes here right you just plug in your
monitor so you're not going to camera
goes here
monitor monitor position the monitors
how you would do it don't worry
i'll get you a beer
this desk is so precarious i'm so scared
and then if i put everything towards the
front more it's like gonna like fall off
i've never been so scared of my life
what's the rgb
plan here uh i was just gonna do oh my
god
all right there's your rgb sucka do you
want to go all the way around
no no no no no no no no no do you want
to go down the front here stop
why does he want his camera like way off
the side like that is that a thing
no it's audience audience yeah can you
just put it here like inside a person
this side
you're wearing a mask this side yeah you
picked the other side that's what no i
like that
what it's gonna look up your nose yeah
that's not a good look
you know what's funny actually i thought
it was a little bit taller yeah i know
you're right
i knew that here we go
okay it's actually not posting though
oh hey she just needed to you know hang
out for a second
your ethernet cable's a little long here
colton thankfully
i've got this cable tie from uh
lttstore.com
this is why mice should not have holes
in them
there we go there how's that that's much
better
oh it's gonna move all his dials around
whatever
yeah that's what he gets for being a
dirty boy dude this is sick i actually
totally didn't realize
yeah you can aim it more okay there you
go there's your ring light wow what a
boss
oh god you're right colton your other
side is your good side
i'm at the front right now and it would
really be better if you turned around
so we got to see your fps your frame
times there's a lot of fps
holy crap well you're not loading the
screen so holy [ __ ]
that might help that's still a lot of
fps
i can see things i don't even need my
glasses
thanks intel thanks everybody else guys
got to appreciate you guys 230 240
frames per second
i'm gonna get the uh i'm gonna get the
stream stuff dialed in it's gonna be
great
dude hit me turn off the mate turn off
the main light i know it's going to look
really bad on camera
[Music]
turn
this is way better and the room's a lot
more open things are clean
and it's actually it's not even loud
mm-hmm it's a toasty boy it's definitely
toasty it's a good thing it has this
second exhaust fan otherwise we'd be in
real trouble right about now but it's
not too shabby wow it would get warm in
this
freaking room it doesn't get in here for
a bit it does
like dang you know you just open up the
mini fridge and just just let that's not
how that works
so that's it colton's new setup ladies
and gentlemen
massive shout out to intel for
