 Good God, what happened to this thing? Do you even do maintenance, dog? Oh, me. This is disgusting. You call yourself a techie. What happened to this thing? Time. No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, I can't even react to it. It's clearly had no maintenance on it whatsoever. Your LED strips are cracked, broken, not even in the right place. This one looks like it fell down and you just left it where it fell. One of your graphics cards is missing and I told him that this stupid Geodude rock theme was going to get old fast. And yet somehow here we are, even though Luke no longer even works here and therefore does not qualify for extreme rig upgrade from Intel, we're building him a new themed PC. Or so he thought. I lied. You're still getting an upgrade and it's still gonna be pretty sick, but it's gonna be a combination of hand-me-downs from my old rig, whatever we had lying around in inventory and broken parts that you need to fix. That sounds fun, actually. You're getting a sick new rig, but boy, are you ever gonna work for it. Speaking of working for it, I work for telling you about our sponsors. Use glassware to see what apps are wasting your bandwidth and causing your games to lag. You can get 25% off using offer code Linus at the link in the video description. This is gonna be fun. What the hell happened to all the amethyst rocks that I spent hundreds of dollars on? Over time, as you can see, things started kind of breaking because of heat issues, so I took a lot of the crystals out. That addresses the crystals. What the hell happened to the second graphics card that we gave you? You actually told me to take that out. That's in my girlfriend's computer. You told me on the WAN show to do that. So this is how you install drives now? You've completely forgotten your tech ways? I don't know where this came from. And then this one, that one was installed that way with an old basic red SATA cable. F*** dude. What do you even need all this solid-state storage for? You've got like three terabytes of SSD in here. I don't need that, to be honest. So that one was just for Windows 10. I needed a, I wanted a separate boot drive. The SSDs were rated. So where's your other side panel? The other side panel is a giant question mark, actually. Okay, that's real rough because I think Jake might have told you you were getting a new case. You're not. I somewhat put that together. This is Luke Rigg upgrade, not Luke Rigg brand new. Let's turn it off because it really smells. Okay. Most of what Luke does on his computer is a combination of gaming, streaming, and development. So do you want to meet your new hardware? Sure. Yeah. This spent a number of months in my system. This is the X570 Aqua from ASRock. It's got some gunk in it though. So here begins the, we got to fix things. Okay, nice. This is a hand-me-down from me. So you're roasting me. Okay, so you're roasting me from my computer. Your computer has gunk in it and you just dropped it. Now it's your maintenance problem. For graphics, we wanted to get you the latest and greatest, but there's a shortage of latest and greatest. So we got you the greatest, but it's not the latest. This actually was contributed by a fan of the channel. Okay. So this is the X950950X. These things are rarer than hen's teeth. You can game, you can stream, you can develop, you can do them all at once. All you need to do, my friend, is put some of the pins back on it. Like on it? Like they're not bent. They're gone? They're gone. They're gone, sir. I'm sorry, sir. If you don't fix it, I will mercilessly snatch it back from him and give him something crappier. You know this to be true. Search your feelings, Luke. Do we have the pins at all? Theoretically in this bin- Oh my goodness. Is everything you'll need. Okay, okay. Nice. All right. Oh, and also this brick. Oh, I'm having way too much fun already. Don't you love the pressure? This is like a thousand Canadian dollars on the line. If you can buy it. Let's start by tearing this out. You want to go from the back and I'll go from the front if you know what I mean. We'll double team it here. Sure, but we're leaving the power supply in, right? Is this even attached? No. So the ram didn't fit. There are chunks on him. There are actual chunks. It blows chunks. Yeah. People are going to watch this many years from now and they're not going to be sure if this happened during COVID because we need masks anyway. We cannot leave it like this. No, get it stripped. Strip it. But I got to do it from the front. Strip it real good. I got to reach around. I can't do my job back here if I'm not reaching out. How the hell are you even supposed to remove this heat sink? Holy s***. No wonder I couldn't screw it in. Oh my God. Is this melted? Did you glue this? What is this? Why is there glue in your A-Pin? There was rocks all the way up there. Oh my God. I'm starting to regret not allocating a new case for you here. Yeah, that probably would have saved a lot of time. Oh, wow. We totally didn't put in all the screws. Us? What do you mean? I helped. You didn't. Did we build this? Oh no, you hosted this one on your own. Yeah, that's why it's so bad. Your LEDs stripped the finish. What the f***? That is seriously messed up. Why is there so much hot glue on everything? Because there were so many rocks. But the rocks were not on the motherboard, Luke. Yeah, but I don't know. Really a hardcore gamer literally does not upgrade a single thing about the machine until I give him a free one. You know when the last time I spent money on a computer is? Because I don't. Oh my God. Wait, no. You bought those rocks. They're staying in. You're stuck with them. Luke insisted on those rocks. Hey, it worked. It worked. The thumbnail was awesome. The video got tons of views. I would never take his rocks from him. Luke, do you really want to get your rocks off? I kind of do. Do filters work? No. No. Oh no, I knocked a rock out. That's a free one. This is not going to come completely clean, so I am adjusting my standards. I demand only perfection. We both need to spend the greater part of our workday rubbing down my old computer case. Yeah. Why did I put four screws in all of these? I never do that. And they probably came pre-installed. Yeah, there's no way you did that. Okay. So there is actually a reason. Yeah. Here we go. It starts white and then it's hairy. Can we call that good enough on the front here? If you think it's good enough, I am certain it is above my standards. When you told me you wanted it as is, I was like, okay, we're going to be talking about how dusty my computer is. That's fine. I didn't think we were going to actually use it. You're getting a free upgrade. What are you going to do? Complain? I know exactly. That's great. Yeah. Let's go. Calm down. How stressed are you about the CPU repair there? Extremely. That's going to be interesting. Yeah. Fixing a pin on a CPU. Something I didn't anticipate is there's not actually a ton of room for water cooling stuff in here. Nope. Oh God. These are 10 terabyte drives. Cause I was going to say, okay, maybe we could just go all solid state and then we wouldn't have to worry about that. But I don't have 20 terabytes of SSD. Not for this. Not deploying it in here. Yeah. Sorry. I should clarify. You know, after cleaning it, there's always the option of not using it. Yeah. Sorry. Okay. Okay. It was worth a shot. So now we gotta, we gotta make it work. Let's just have a look here. Okay. So we could put that there and fans on the outside. We could put a 120 at the back or we could just say screw it on the GPU water cooling. Maybe let's fix the CPU and then figure it out. He says as though that will be a maybe let's fail to fix the CPU. Would you like to watch how to do it? Yep. Okay. I know a guy. Hey, I recognize that guy. I need this. You're going to need some tweezers. Okay. So far I at least was able to correctly identify one of the tools we're doing. Okay. Linus slash LMG enclosed is the first 59 50 X I bought with a single pin missing along the edges. Not me. Not you. Thanks, Chris. Thanks, Chris. Here we go. Thanks everybody. Ah, that's hot. Can't even see through there. Do you want, do you want to move that so you can look through it? Sure. How long does this take? Depends how close you get with the hot air. Remember you've got lots of donor CPUs. True. Yeah. So let's just go for it. Okay. Let's let's ripper. So we're cranking it to 450. Should I make sure this is doable before I set you at it? Why would it not be doable? I mean, I don't know. Maybe the temperature is wrong or something. This is not an easily melting boy here. This is, this is going to be pretty tough, Luke. Hooray. Remember, Luke, there's no pressure right now. That's just the donor CPU. I mean, you can horribly burn yourself, but other than that. It's getting hot in here. I think I got one. Pad. Look at that. Looks like it's still there. What a winner. Luke, I believe in you. Use the force. They're not too much force. That was just fine. Okay. We good? We got the settings dialed? Well, we got the settings dialed for this. So if I was you, what I would probably do is brace one edge of the tweezers on the edge and slide it off by squeezing it together. Man, I hope you make it. Cause like the thing for me is I have a lot riding in your success too. Like I could just fix it myself and then we would have a working CPU. So for me to watch this is like actually pretty stressful too. Cause well, I don't get to use the thing that's worth the value. It's yours. Yeah. Yeah. Just like the rock. There were the first, one of the first things you made me do when you hired me, put water blocks on GPUs. Yeah. And I came back like hours later and you had like basically made no progress. And I was like, what are you some kind of idiot? No, I was done. Were you? Yeah, I was done. Oh, maybe I'm thinking of a different thing. I assigned you to, and then I left for a long time and came back and you had barely touched it. I mean that probably. You were probably asleep. I never fell asleep. Shut up. I'm kidding. I fell asleep a lot. He would literally fall asleep. You also told me it was like 48 hours a week and it ended up being like 40 hours a week. I'm supposed to be like working on water cooling the rig right now and I just can't look away. Okay. I, you know what? No, I'm, I will look away. Oh, I think I got it. Did you really? Wait, no. Oh shoot. What? Let me see. I think the pad came out. Oh my God. You f**king died. It's perfect. Hey! Did you do that on purpose? No, I thought it was ruined. My God. You got it perfect. Oh, that's mint. Yeah. Damn it, Luke. Hey, that got so much better. Yeah. That's, that's phase one. Okay. But no phase one's good. Okay. We're moving on. This is a good guide. Seems like a nice guy. And while you're waiting, why don't you refresh yourself with some ice cold water. Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh my shoulder. Oh. Oh. I'd like come try to help you up, but COVID and stuff. I like tried to football tackle that stand. Do you need anything? No, I just need this refreshing drink. LTT store.com. Oh, jeez. Looking back then at the old video, we did use the solder mask. I was a little bit ignoring that part because I was told repeatedly that we did not use the soldering mask. So are these the right pins? Ah, they're good enough. We put the wrong pin on last time and it was fine. Oh, my hands are so shaky. Oh God. You having regrets? Nope. You can have no regrets in life Linus. Let's be real. I have no idea what I'm doing. No, it's still just sitting there. You haven't even melted the solder yet, Luke. Neat. All right. Whoa. Okay. What now? Knocked over. Okay. Maybe we do need the mask then. Okay. Really? I mean, that didn't seem like it was on there. It looks lower though. It has lost height. I think you got to get a little more aggro here, Luke. Okay. So how do I tell when I'm done? It should kind of snap, like kind of stand to attention. Like it should snap into place. So I'm looking for the pin boner. Yeah. Now it's standing up and not moving. It's soldered like it's on there. What we need to know now is- Okay. Oh, I got it. Nailed it successfully back to square one. Back where we were. Okay. So, so line me up again. Give me a lineup. Go for it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Are you having fun yet? Are you winning, son? I don't know if I'm winning yet. No, dog. You nailed it. Hell yeah. Moment of truth. When's the last time you installed an AMD CPU? You've been kind of like out of the game since AMD was relevant. That's hilarious. Oh, it's, it, it leaned over. What, what, what? What do you mean? What are you talking about? Oh, no, no, we're good. Okay. Now hold on. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Cause if we get it in here and it works, then we have to take it back out. We're putting more stress on the pin than we have to put it back in something else. I might want to just put it in its home. Okay. What do we remove from this thing? I can't remember. Of course it had to be a water-cooled motherboard. Well, look, I am shaking right now. If this boots, it'll be so cool. What's this? Okay. Who lost a screw on this damn thing? What the hell? I don't know. Now it looks like it's grabbing over there. I don't remember it being with the screws off this end. There's one right there. Oh no, it doesn't look like it. Oh, okay. Why does it say store demo? No signal detected. Give it a sec. Give it a sec. That's a few little restarts there. That's not a good sign. Oh my God. Is it all just going to be for nothing? Oh my God. Oh my goodness. Chris. Chris. Chris H. Luke thanks you because he just scored your bad luck. Good luck for him. Why is this in store demo mode? Don't know. It doesn't matter. The point is we got an output. Let's build a computer. Yeah. Okay. Oh, he's leaving me hanging. The challenge we're having right now is that while we do have a template that Luke has somewhere. Oh, right here. He has to cut into it. Oh man. He's choked ladies and gentlemen. Here we go. Yeah, cool. Okay. There's a hole there. Yeah, that was part of the point. It's like, wow. What a drill. Nailed it. Wait, you put the hard drives in already? Yeah. There's like metal shards everywhere. Nice. Seems fine. That did a lot. He used shake. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. It was very hard. He was choked with the shake. It was very effective. Linus used hardened. Why can't I find the holes? Oh, there we go. You not like it there? No, I love it. Yeah. Yeah, right there. Oh yeah. Just put that in. Put that in there. Give it a. It wobbles a little bit? There it is. It's in. This is gonna be not a bad looking little machine somehow. You did a great job of gluing these rocks on here. Did I tell you about the one that got caught by the 24 pin and when I first saw it, I was like, wow, that looks really cool. Then I was like, wow, that could really kill the graphics card. Because we didn't change the case, we still haven't solved the problem of this not having enough two and a half inch drive mounts. What do you think? Should we grab some hot glue for old time's sake? Put a rock there. Put a rock on it. No, this is kind of going to be like a kind of okay rig. You know what, actually, should we ditch the founders then? And should we go with a third party board? Well, that worked out okay for you. We don't have any more 2080Ti's, so we might need them for future comparisons. So you get a Titan RTX instead. So we're adding some gold to the silver. We're adding some bling. Yeah, I mean, I would have hated for it to look too good. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It looks strong. It shouldn't clothe itself. Like a geo dude. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! So that goes right there. Oh yeah. Ho ho ho. Puta puta solo. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Do you have a, where's your hot glue gun? Oh God. Oh, solved. There's another way of putting it there where it just holds itself. Beautiful. Is there a faster way to use this thing? Yeah, this thing is gonna like kind of blow your mind. Because you don't even play with all the latest hardware every day anymore. Nope. I probably will not have to run Tarkov on medium anymore. Yeah, your system is actually faster for gaming than mine now. Here we go. This just, I think no matter what computer you have, this just takes forever. Oh yeah. Do you have a GeForce experience installed? No. I mean, it's fine. It doesn't matter. We all know how to do it. It already feels immediately better. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! It's like I've slightly turned. Ha ha ha ha ha! Holy crap. Oh my! Okay, this is pretty cool. Hardware has actually improved a lot in the last four years. The four years that you were reviewing it was probably the most boring period That's so bad. of PC hardware ever. And it's gotten kind of like red hot again. I could not be more pleased with the results here. We did a water-cooled rig, including repairing a pin on a CPU that was otherwise completely a write-off. Ha ha ha ha! And it's only seven hours later. Ha ha ha ha! Good job, everyone. Yeah! We did it. And good job, our sponsor. Do you need to create a beautiful website without the hassle?
