 Every time I drink water it's like a product placement. LTTstore.com Yes. This is, I hope it's a typo, Olivier? Is it a W? It's a typo. Good. Olivier. So I'm Oliver I'm from Australia. I'm actually from Poland so I don't know what to say. Just a first name because I don't want people to... Oh that's fair. Okay. So that would be really bad. The thing is if you search my name up like I'm the only person with the name so. Oh yeah you were going to scream. Cool. He's here all the way from the great land of down under Australia and he is the winner of our toughest gaming rig yet. Jesus. Something something descendants of criminals and all that good stuff. Let's get started. Tough gaming rig. Oh I see what you did there. So wait so sorry you got confused when I said etc etc descended from criminals like. Yeah I'm not very good at references. So wait sorry you don't know that stereotype? Stereotype what is it for Australians or something? Yeah. I'm not Australian I'm Polish. You are? Yeah. Oh. Well wait what's this accent then? It's like a mix of it like Polish and Australian. Okay all right okay all right okay. How I became a fan of LTT I have no idea just kind of eased in I guess. I saw a few videos you guys started doing really ridiculous crap that nobody else is doing like 10 games one CPU and whatnot. I decided to sign up for Floatplane. This is another one of those questions where I don't really know the reason why it just kind of felt natural to do it. Like I already watched heaps of your videos and I just kind of thought you know it makes sense to support you guys like Netflix is a paid subscription YouTube seems like a free thing and I just why not support you guys through Floatplane and get access to the videos much sooner as well. So it's a win-win either way. Well let's build a computer shall we? Cool. Have you ever done this before? Kind of but not with hardware like this mainly like pre-built computers that are easy to like put back together you know what I mean. Okay so when I ask if you've built a computer before and you say yes but a pre-built. It depends. I have taken apart pre-built computers in the past but that's pre-built computers everything just kind of fits into place only a certain way. When it comes to building a computer straight up from like new parts I have not done that before so this is a completely new experience for me. Okay let's say no let's go with that. Alright so let's go ahead and lay out all the parts we've got. So we've got a tough heatsink, tough SSD, tough motherboard, the theme of the build is tough. Tough alright I see. Tough RAM. Oh Jesus that's tough. Tough mouse pad. Oh my lord. Tough headset, tough keyboard, tough gaming monitor, tough mouse. Look it's not a question of how much stuff we have this is more of a question of how much stuff you are taking home because all of this. That's a lot of stuff. Goes together. From what I've seen from the past few years the machines were pretty beefy and I think that's exactly what we're gonna end up getting. So I'm a full-time student one day I aspire to do photography it's probably gonna end up changing as it always does but that's kind of the career path I want to go in. So Olivier here has said that just call me Oliver. Oliver? Oh Ollie keep it simple Ollie. Ollie you don't you don't like Olivier? No. Okay so Ollie here says that aside from gaming he's actually got another passion so what do you want to do with this machine? I mainly want to put it for the use of you know editing photos and stuff like that retouching and yeah mainly creative work so. Very cool okay so conveniently that monitor happens to use an IPS panel so you will actually be able to use it for those things as well. But first you have to complete the rite of passage you have to actually build the machine. Wish me luck. Yeah I mean where do you start? Let's go for the motherboard of course that's where we start. That's a keyboard. Yeah I know I'm looking at the headset. That's a headset. Cool. Any thoughts of going in before meeting and building a computer with Linus? I don't know what to expect I feel like there's gonna be a lot of beef going on Linus is gonna be trying to make fun of me are we're gonna be going back and forth you know how it goes. Okay great now Oli I know you had said you wanted a minimalistic design we didn't manage to pull that off. It's all good. Alright we got a 9th gen i7 I have no idea how many cores or whatever this thing has. 9700k so this is 8 cores 8 threads super fast it's gonna rip through pretty much everything games photo editing video editing you name it. As long as you don't break it in the next couple of minutes. There we go. Alright you got this. So have you ever installed a CPU before? No. Okay cool that changes today. What could possibly go wrong I mean you have insurance right? For this no. Oh okay cool. Yeah of course not no if you break your computer it's broken. Okay. I think he thinks I'm joking. No you're not go on. Yeah no if you break it it's broken. Go on. Don't worry though it's tough. So we're going to line up our arrow with our dot no force whatsoever. Obi-Wan need not be summoned for this task. What? CPU is now installed. Alright well that's done let's do the RAM. Nope. Alright go for it. Okay. Oh boy. Oh boy. That was janky. Hey there it is. What's next? I don't know let's go for RAM. Sure. The tough RAM. Go for it. Do you think you can handle this on your own? You seem honestly you seem pretty confident. You're saying you're nervous. Come on click in. That was so unsatisfying. Well it's 32 gigs of RAM does that help with the satisfaction? Yeah it does. It's a lot of RAM. It does dude one for every Chrome tab I love it. My mom's so disappointed in me right now. Can't even click the RAM in properly. It's like the easiest part. Nah you're good. You got it. Alright 32 gigs of RGB RAM. Just like that. What's next? I don't know. What do we put the cooler on now or something? You can do it in whatever order you want. That's the way that it is. So power supply it is. And I'm just here to we could do the power supply now if you want. Sure. That would be the dumbest idea. I could come up with something dumber if you'd like. Alright another one of these boxes that you don't know how on earth to open. Thank you. Here's our weird knife. Sorry that our Canadian knives are too weird for you. It's all good they're sharper than what we have. No I thought that Australia is like the land of now that's a knife you know. I'm gonna use this to pry the box open because my fingers are not that small. So now we just follow the order of operations. So backplate goes on the back. Alright do we build on top of this thing or do we like. Yeah sure why not. Okay cool. Well I'm asking you what the right way to do it is. You put the motherboard on top of that. You put the motherboard on top of that. Are you crazy? Did you just dump the motherboard on top of that? No. There's no way you do that. Oh that's the bottom part. You put the motherboard. Oh I get it. On top of that. Give it a bit more than that. A bit more? Yeah a bit more. That's good that's good that's good. Oh wow. Okay you gotta kind of wipe it. Okay alright alright. Oh god. Oh okay you have to have it centered. Is it centered? I mean it should be. Look. Okay just stop stop stop fussing with it for a second. It's fine. Are you gonna tighten it down? Yeah you're looking at me like I'm doing something wrong. I probably am. It's slow that's all. Not the best at screwing. Don't take that the wrong way. There's only one way to take that. That's what she said. Oh boy. Is that tight enough for you? Yeah. Alright. That's what it falls off. That's what she said. Okay. Alright so the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna install these handy dandy little fan mounts. So basically you put these on both sides and then these guys stick in there. See that? Oh do they just sit like this or do I have to push them through all the way? No you need to pull them through all the way. It's easier to pull from the back than to push from the front. Look you can tell he's judging me. Look at him. Look away the other way. I'm doing stuff thank you. See I feel so much more confident now. He's gonna like this better until he breaks something. That's a bit janky. Is it meant to be like that? It doesn't really matter. Okay that's Linus' motto. I mean it's your computer what do I care? Alright what's next then? Cool I guess we like throw it in the case now or something. We could do that. Sure would you like to do that? Yeah let's go for it. Okay. You're sure there's nothing else to mount to the motherboard before we put it in the case? Now that you're saying it I feel like there is but I'm just gonna. Well we're gonna put the graphics card in and we'll do it like once we get the motherboard in right? Anything else though? Oh for God's sake what are we missing? I'm not saying we're missing anything I'm just asking. If you're sure that there's nothing else. He's zooming in on something I can tell we're missing something. Maybe we should let your mom do it. Yeah well he zoomed it in like. Can you stop handling that like that? How do you handle it? Do you do the side? You clearly learned how to build computers from my show. Yeah that's why I don't know how to do it properly. This is a machine that actually needs to work for an extended period of time after. Like you want to actually use this for years to come right? Yeah of course I do. So we're gonna handle it by the edges. Alright cool. Stop it! You said handle it by the edges. The hardware first. Okay jeez have some lunch it'll make you a bit happier. Out of ten how does it taste? Oh I should put Vegemite in it. We could. It's in my bag Linus. You're disappointing like hundreds of thousands of Australians right now. As far as I can tell Australians know that Vegemite is terrible. They've just made it part of their culture so that they can meme it up and force other people to feel bad for not eating it. No I'm not eating it. I've tried it I'm not eating it. Well you can eat it again. It's terrible. Look at me I'm trembling. Jesus. Excuse me. Oh Tim Tams. I want some Tim Tams. What are Tim Tams? You never had Tim Tams? Okay Tim Tams I've never tried. See now that's where the real disappointment comes in. Alright I'll try a Tim Tam. Oh thank you. These look good. You said only half take the rest. No no there's two in a pack. These are good. Oh yeah cool. Ah exactly. It helps if you go in at a bit of an angle. Oh like that. Yeah like that. Yep you got it. Great. Okay what do you want to put in here next? Yeah we can do your SSD now. Sure alright. See I never deal with this high end stuff. Oh Jesus that was eventually going to happen. That's fine that's your computer. Thank you that's all good. I mean it's tough right? It's tough. It's tough. Tough. I hate it so much when people look over my shoulder. Graphics card. No. I want graphics card. Yeah everyone wants to do graphics card. Graphics card comes last. Okay what power supply it is. Alright power supply let's do it. Hey at least it's a cool power supply. It is a cool power supply. It has a wattage readout on the side. A watt? A wattage readout. A wattage readout. Yeah it says how much power your system is drawing. 850 watts. Right on the side. Holy crap. It's 80 plus platinum. The current one is like 350. Oh my computer. That thing it's old. It's really old. When I first got it it was actually a really decent computer and even though it is still okay, it's on its way to dying basically. Like it's been around for six years or something at the moment on its way to seven. So yeah I'm definitely in for a reboot. So this is really great. Oli just found out for the first time that we don't ship the system to him assembled because he lives in the land of Oz. So we actually are going to take the system back apart, pack it all up in the boxes. He has to put it back together again. What's your confidence level? Building it without my assistance. Well I can just watch a Anthony build guide. Open up your power supply. Anthony build guide was a perfectly acceptable answer. Now if he'd said anything about like Bitwit or Paul's hardware or anything like that. Alright there it is. That is the kind of power supply that justifies you know this box you know. So before you do that I have a bit of a challenge for you. How do you get this power supply in that case? I want to see if you can do it. I think I'm going to have to remove this part here. Alright let's have a look. He got that a lot faster than I expected. Oh I'm tightening it. How do you reverse this thing? Like that? Alright so this goes in the bottom of the case now. Cools. Are you familiar with the comic strip Peanuts? No. Charlie Brown? No. Okay well there's a character Lucy and she always promises Charlie Brown that this time when she holds the football, and I mean an American football not a soccer ball, when she holds the football she won't pull it away when he goes to kick it causing him to fall on his back. And what's the moral of the story? Dang it. I knew I was waiting for it to happen. Alright let's get this thing in there. I've got this one over here too. Can you grab this one for a sec? Yeah. What? Hello? You gotta grab the 810 too. Ah you plugged it in already. Now for our last trick. We just need to cover up all that cable mess. Cool. So we'll put our shroud back and uh well dang it I had this lined up a second ago. Shoot I thought I had it figured out. Is it in there? It's not in there. There we go. Okay it's in. Cool. Go ahead and screw it in. Thank you that took you long enough. He's gonna make me put it back in myself. Go ahead. Show me how it's done. Well it's like. I'm confused about how it's even meant to go in there. In the first place. Would you like me to fix it for you? Pardon? I mean we're human. This time without any sass. Oh okay. You may help. You can put the other screw in. It's the most I can do. Well I guess I can't use the special screw driver. You can use the special one if you want. It's pre-warmed. See that's ass heat right there. Jesus your ass needs some water cooling man. Alright. So what would you like to install next? No. It's such a slow burn. You gotta be so boring Linus. Oh good look at that there magnetic baby. Oh hello. So no pressure but however you hook these up we're gonna be judging you. Ah it's all good. Are you gonna give me that cable or what? There you go. Keep pushing. That's it. Why is it going all the way through? I think from the entire build the hardest part about building the computer was putting together the things that aren't usually shown in videos like the tiny little like I don't know not fan headers but for example the RGB components and stuff like that. That usually isn't covered in a lot of the build logs and stuff like that. This is weird packaging. I've never seen this before. It's like strapped down with plastic. Cute. You wanna peel that baby? Yes I do. We're gonna ruin this peel. That is one thick thick graphics card there. So this is an RTX 2070 Super which happens to be great for pretty much whatever you want. Oh. No thanks. Alright line it properly. It's a bit janky. Looking pretty good so far. There we go. Oh my god. There we go. Got it. Nice. Did it click? Yeah it clicked. I didn't hear it. Looks pretty clicked to me. Okay well it's clicking off. Oh yeah that's clicked. You got this. So it's moment of truth time. Do you want to know if this thing powers up? That would be nice. I mean it would be nice going home knowing that everything actually works. Alright well let's do it. Let's get the peripherals laid out here. Come on what are you waiting for? Still minimalistic? I mean it could be more. I'm hoping for the best. Hey! Woo there it is. How do you even know if that thing's on? It's so quiet. It's tough you know. I thought tough was like loud. Tough can be quiet. How do I think the build went? I don't know. I mean I think it could have went better if I wasn't under all the pressure of like shooting of Lioness and having it you know knowing that a whole bunch of people are watching me. But it was a new experience. I've never handled this sort of equipment before. As I said usually just pre-built computers that are really easy to put back together. This is yeah completely different experience for me and it was a heap of fun. I think out of all the things I'm most excited about the monitor because for like photography it's basically like getting a new pair of eyes. So while we wait for drivers to install I'm gonna let you in on something. You did really well when it came to the monitor because you're actually gonna be running at a hundred and sixty five hertz on your IPS display instead of 120 or 144. So that is a definitely noticeable. I mean try it. Move the mouse. Jesus. Yeah that's a big difference. Okay so this is the big reveal. It's not big. It was going to be the most beautiful one that we had. But our laser aired out and there's no recovering. I love it so you got the mountain. Yeah it was going to have all of like Vancouver down here. Oh so it's like the it's the top most disappointing part. I love it. At least it's a story behind it like it's got some personality you know what I mean. Oh I didn't even realize this. So this is one of the G-Sync compatible displays. So even though it doesn't have a G-Sync module in it it enables it by default so you should be having the G-Sync experience. All right. Oh that feels weird. That is like fluid as. How's it look though? It looks amazing. The 165 hertz. It's 165 right? Yeah oh yeah. It feels so much more different. Like it hurts to see what I was missing out on. I think when I get back I might start off with the video games just because I can't remember the last time I've had like a really good gaming experience. I feel like being stuck with the computer I have now I've fallen behind in time. So every time a new game comes comes out I'm like oh no it's getting worse and worse. So I think I'll go straight to games. I'll play a bit of games for a few days and I'll go back to what I usually do which is photography. What is this thing? How are you still alive? I don't know. What? Jesus. I don't know. So honestly I mean that's all we really need to know. How's it feel? It feels good. I mean better than I've ever experienced. You notice how you know when you're gaming and it's working real hard the system really like ramps up and gets loud? No no it was more of a trick question. Yeah no. No yeah that's right. I was expecting a little bit of a no. Also a big thank you to Jono who's sitting right in front of me. He had to put up with all of the problems that we came across and honestly I'd list them all but I don't think we have enough time so thank you very much man. So that's it for ROG Rig Reboot 2019. We had a couple of small hiccups but I think we covered for them reasonably well right? Yeah. Yeah. See exactly that's what's up so good luck guys. Congratulations to everyone who won this year especially you. How you feeling? Really? Did you get a kill? Yeah I got one. Not bad. There's a tank. Oh that's rough. Yeah. And I guess we'll end on that note.
