 What? Oh, who cares? What? It's got support here, though. Stop taking shortcuts. I'm not taking shortcuts! You're taking shortcuts, too. 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! So, 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 budget to turn Colton's very mediocre gaming and streaming setup into an absolute masterpiece. I'm pretty jazzed. Let's do it. 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, and 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. It's a happy desk. I accidentally threw away the extra IKEA desk. Please don't do that. Please don't do that. I threw away the extra leg. We were gonna put another leg on the bottom of the back. 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. Ooh, 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 room. You guys have moved everything around. You got your TV over here now, and you still got your drinking problem. I've still, I don't barely even drink. That's why there's so many booze there. 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-o supplies. I mean, what is this? I don't drink, I barely drink it all. And then, while you're gaming, you got your- There's Coca-Cola, I drink the Coke Zero. But you can't show these things, stop, dude. I can see why you're 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. Your monitor's broken. I've been living with this for the last year and a half. Okay, so then what I gotta do is I gotta leave something moving on the screen, and I gotta 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, then. I love this chair, by the way. This is great. Oh man, you guys, 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 gonna put it here, get rid of this TV. You're gonna use the TV for your- Never use the TV. Well, I heard Emerson makes really good TVs, so. I bought this 10 years ago, it's fantastic. Moving this stuff over, and then that's essentially it. The Cougar Gaming Chair is gonna go over here. I'm gonna 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 desk 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 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 setup 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. 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 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 like a family journal of yours? Harry Potter, oh, because my last name is Potter. That's funny. That hasn't been done before. Wow, a joke. 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 i9-10900K. We are going sub ambient cooling, assuming that it's actually in here. Did you put it in here? Yeah. It feels pretty light. Are you sure? Let's 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, maybe you go do something else. What? Well, anything? You could move a desk. That seems like sort of a Colton. He doesn't trust me. Pass. You don't trust me. That he could do. All right, fine. Well, I can help with that. Do you need help? No. 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 HomeRig upgrade. What do you mean? What? You told me that you lost the extra leg. Oh wait, what? What? The legs went 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, it lifts the four other legs and kind of levitates them off the ground. Oh, I saw the right leg. It's 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. Fixed itself. Told you it's been about half an hour. This is amazing. 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, 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 gonna go or are you gonna have like a third monitor? No, this monitor is gonna 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. Colton, stop grabbing all this. It's gross. I don't even mind. Oh, gross. I got pets too here. I'll just, I'll shake it out. You gotta vacuum the air Colton. 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 floor. It's not that heavy at all. It's fine. So we got a- What are you doing? Let's have a look here. We got some batteries. What are you doing? Got a hard drive. That's my old computer. Power bank. How do I get stuff off this whole hard drive? 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. They're not bribes. I bought them. Wait a minute. You gotta be kidding me. Are you a Twilight fan, sir? No, it's not mine. Wow, you've even got the, couldn't wait for the paperback release. Oh, I got this. You okay? Nice. No, no, I'm good. I'm good. No. 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. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You good? 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, hold on, I don't wanna, you got very expensive door frames. I don't wanna break them. No, no, not those doors, just the front door. So where do you want it? You want it there? That's exactly, yeah. That's pretty close. Yep, yep, and then past it. Ah! No! Stucky, I'm sorry. Your bridal shower. Now it's time for us to build a flipping computer here. Dude, look at that. This board, great value. Z490 Pro AX from EORUS. We actually used this for, 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 a 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 10900K, sir? Oh, 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, went 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 baggy in the stupid motherboard box? We've got 32 gigs, of course, sir. 3200 megahertz CL16. 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. Going back to NZXT. I was with Corsair for a little bit. H440. 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 pretty, it's nice. You know, it's nice. Yeah. But it's a mid tower case. Yeah. 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 going to have the cryo cooling anymore. Yeah, that does suck. That's an oversight of my part. I didn't, oh no. Yeah. So I think I figured out what was wrong with your old computer. Was this never? You had no cooling, my man. Like were the fans never plugged in properly or what? Yeah, yeah, they're working. Oh, this just happens? 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 lifespan. 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 I am going to just say, yeah, YOLO. Let's do it. YOLO. Sorry everyone. Sorry, Steve. Sorry, Steve. I let you down. All right, so while Linus is building the computer, I'm actually gonna 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 you didn't spend an arm and a leg for it. I'm honestly not a huge fan of your case choice here, Colton. No? You've got a 10900K 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 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 3080 and a not, yeah. Literally top of the line. Yeah, okay. Yo, I think I'm gonna like this fricking chair, my guy. I think it's gonna be good, dude. Woo. Here's the deal. These two thumbscrews right here. Yes. Every like, I don't know, few months, six months, whatever, you pop them off and then you see that? You give it a little like vacuum on the front there. No, come out, okay. And you get all that stuff out of there. 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 and 10900K here, boys. I just feel like this chair's not gonna hold up well over time. I could be completely wrong. Mesh butt? 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 then. Oh, oh god. Whoa, Linus. Look at that thing. It's big. It's a big boy. Dang. She's a thick boy, all right. Look at that. She's a thick boy. Holy schnikes. 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 mortal. I know. Some, yeah. 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. What the heck? 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. Where was it? It was in the box. Yeah, I brought that from work. That's not with the monitor. I'm prepared. She's so full of. He told Sterk 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. It's not bad. It's all about the power. Let's put it in there. Let's see if it blows up when we try and power it on. Does it go right in the middle of the desk? It's gotta go on the floor. Yo bro, it's gotta go on the floor. This is terrible. What? It's terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Point being. It's terrible. Yeah, but I don't have any support. Well, that's why this is here. We're gonna put the support. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God, this table. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 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, it's just none of this is my problem. Yeah. 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. Yeah, then it'll stay saggy. Oh, who cares? What? No, Cole, 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 just pointing. What? I'm sorry, when I get mad, I point sometimes. Camera goes here, monitor, monitor. Camera goes where? You just pointed at your monitor. Camera goes here, monitor, monitor. Right, you just pointed at your monitor, so you're not gonna be able to see the monitor. Camera goes here, monitor, monitor. Position the monitor is how you would do it. Yeah, yeah, I will. Don't worry, I'll get you a beer. Oh, oh. 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 in my life. What's the RGB plan here? I was just gonna do- Oh my God, look at it go. Oh my God. All right, there's your RGB sucka. Do you wanna go all the way around? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do you wanna go all the way down the front here? No, stop. Why does he want his camera like way off the side like that? Is that a thing? No. Audience, audience. Yeah, can you just put it here like a normal person? This side? You're wearing a mask. This side, yeah, you picked the other side. That's what I thought. No, I like that second side. What? It's gonna look up your nose. Yeah, that's not a good look. It makes you like, it kinda brings out the- 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. 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 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- There's a ball head inside the box too, so you can aim. 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. Yay! So we got to see your FPS, your frame times. That's a lot of FPS. Holy crap. Well, you're not loading the screen, so- Holy crap. There you go, that might help. That's still a lot of FPS. Woo! I can see things. I don't even need my glasses. Thanks Intel, thanks everybody else. Appreciate you guys. Got the 230, 240 frames per second. I'm gonna get the stream stuff dialed in. It's gonna be great. Dude, hit me, turn off the main light. I know it's gonna look really bad on camera, but turn off. Yeah, this is way better. And the room's a lot more open. Things are clean. And it's actually, it's not even loud. So it's a toasty boy. We're definitely- It's not as stale as 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 does get warm. It does get warm. Like dang. You know, you just open up the mini fridge and just let it- That's not how that works. So that's it, Colton's new setup, ladies and gentlemen. Massive shout out to Intel for sponsoring this episode of Extreme Rig Upgrade 2020. And massive shout out to you guys for watching. Hopefully you get some inspiration for your rig. And if you didn't, well, stay tuned for the next one because it'll be different. That's for sure. Do we know who's next? Oh, Dennis. Oh, Lordy. Yeah, it's definitely gonna be different. Love it. I already know what he's doing. Involves a foot massager. What? The ultimate comfort setup.
