 Hawaii. Hawaii. Yes. Hawaii. Yes. Hawaii. Yes. Okay, so I'm saying it right now? Yes, you are. Hawaii. R.O.G. Rig Reboot 2021, number two, Jacob. You can't possibly be any more obnoxious than your song. So the way that I see it, this is gonna go really smoothly. Oh, absolutely, yes. Oh my God. Aloha, my name is Jacob. I am from the island of Maui in Hawaii. You have a Gacom over here. Okay, okay, fine. This is your computer. All you have to do is build it and not annoy me at all. That's the challenge. Okay, I can only do half of that. All right, you're already annoying me. You're doing that thing that people do in high school, okay, where everyone starts talking like this. I heard your real voice over there. I mean- See, he did it, he did it, he did it. Hey, he's annoying me. I'm trying to get my computer so I can get back to my real home, which is much more warmer than here. So thanks for bringing me all the way from Hawaii to Canada to freeze my butt off to make this computer, Linus. Ah! I come from a huge line of like, big Samoan, Tongan, Hawaiian people. Well, like if a guy like Linus tries to intimidate me, I don't think he's gonna have a good time. Where do you start? From what you taught me, Linus. Start at the motherboard. You could do that. I'm not gonna listen to you. Do you have something sharp I can open this with? I do, but I don't know if I'd trust you with it. You shouldn't. This is some pretty crazy shiz right here. This is the RG Maximus Z690 Hero. It supports dual Gen 4 M.2 drives up to 128 gigs of DDR5 6400 megatransfer per second memory. And of course Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake processors. But you knew all that, right? I'm not gonna be a real smart ass, but like I understand half of what you said. Good, wow. That's pretty good actually, I'm impressed. Really? Now do something. Do something? Okay, I'll try. I like the technique. Sort of. I'm doing really great until half the packaging came out with the board. So, wait, wait, wait, what? Okay, there we go. And based on what you taught me. You studied. I have. By the way, don't make a mess. Put that away. Like that? No, go get it. So put it in there. All right. We're gonna contain the chaos. This is gonna be the tidiest PC build ever. Find your CPU. Man, you've got so much cool stuff here. This is more than all my student loans. I'm assuming this is the CPU because it's the only thing that says Intel. Hey, I'm doing pretty good so far. And wow, this is actually. Doing pretty good so far. You opened a motherboard box. Maybe, you know, where everything's chill. You can just be like, oh yeah, I opened a box. I'm doing really great. But over here, you have to actually build the computer. This is the West Coast. We're not chill. Hey, I'm more West Coast than you. I'm actually from the West side of my island. So, I see. Yes. Oh, wow. This is it. Core i9-12900K, top of the flipping line. Eight performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and the hilarious part, efficiency cores are about equivalent to Haswell. Or somewhere between Haswell and Skylake. So, are you ready? Oh yeah. Okay, how does it go in? It is that. Flip. You were doing really well up until now. There we go, see? You managed to open the box and. I'm trying to be very gentle here, come on. And there. Two hands. He's got the two hands. He's using the two-handed technique. Oh, there we go. There, woo! You're actually doing amazingly well so far, considering that you're from such a tiny island. So, what's gonna be next? So, next. I like how you're expecting me to fail and be stupid about this. Well, so far, pretty much everyone has. And quite frankly, I haven't seen anything to change those expectations yet. Okay, okay. Oh, there we go. That's what I'm looking for, the memory. Nice. He remembered. See? Get it? The memory. Yes. Now, this memory looks basic, you know? Look at that. It's just the bare sticks from Crucial. But this is 128 gigs of memory. Are you for real? Look, watch. Wait. See? Real. See, it's weird, stop touching me. I'm not sure how that goes. 128 gigs of flipping RAM. Hey, thanks, Crucial. My understanding is that you are going to be using this not just for gaming, but also for productivity. You fancy yourself a bit of a video editor, 3D modeler. Pretty much, I spend my time making videos for clients back on Maui. And on my downtime, I try to get into 3D modeling. But it's just that my computer is so horrible at trying to just run it. I can't even see what I'm trying to make. The details of my models are just completely nonexistent. This is gonna be a game changer. You know what's cool about DDR5 is they actually moved the PMIC, which is the power management IC, onto the module. So it used to be that all your power management was on the motherboard, like around the DDR4 memory slots. But on DDR5, it just takes whatever voltage your power supply is outputting into the motherboard and then pumps that into the module. And then it steps it down from there. I mean, I grasped only a few of that. The only part that I truly grasped was I thought you said penis. PMIC. P-M-I-C. I can only think of penis. PMIC, there we go. It must be an island thing. No, it's... No, it's supposed to click. That's not the kind of click I want. I honestly can't tell. It's not in. Sorry, for real. That's what she said, but... Son of a... Okay, I'll take it out. I'll take... This is going so well. Do you think? There, that's how it's done. And now we've got three more. Audience, is that how it's done? Andy, I thought you were helping me out here. Well, he is helping you. He's helping you by telling you you didn't do it right. Like you mean it. There we go. There we go. Love it. Yeah. Now, hold on a second. I think we've got something cool. See, you wouldn't appreciate this because you've only got hot weather on your island over there. Swack it V2. Got the zippers on the pockets, got the extra pocket in there for the phone. Okay, I'm not gonna front, that actually looks really good. Yeah, right? Like that looks really clean. Reflective. Can you put the RAM in? Okay, okay. I thought we were gonna put the computer together. Hold on, I've been waiting for you. Okay, my job is to be the model. Hey. I'm the model, you're the computer put together guy. Not the other way around. I mean, I'm not sure if people wanna see a model that's like fugly. Fugly? Yes. Did you just call me fugly? Yes. While I am giving you a free computer? Yes. You know, I don't have to give you the computer. Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't be rushing in with all these judgments. Asus pays me to make the video. It's my call if you get the computer. So you try again. Okay. You are a very beautiful. Don't kiss ass. Smart bearded man. Yeah. Try again. Be objective, be objective. You have to be honest. You are a very smarter person than me. He keeps trying to like suck up. Okay, okay, fine. Just say something true. Say something authentic. You have a beard. That's really good. Oh my God. Okay. There you go. Awesome. 128 gigs of DDR5. Hey, he's got it. I'm picking things up. I like it. We're doing the tidiest PC build ever. And I guess we can start installing the SSDs now, right? I mean, it depends, right? You gotta look at them. Oh, right. Yeah, like what kind of SSDs are they? Do they work? Well, no, they work. No, I have no doubt. Crucial has amazing stuff. Wow. Who needs to watch Gamers Nexus anymore? JacobsReviews.com. Someone's gonna buy that domain and turn it into like the most horrible thing. $1,595. JacobsReviews.com for sale. Can I sell this PC to get that? I wouldn't recommend it. Stick with what you know. All right, all right. I loved your video. So that video editing seems like a good plan. That is a lie. What? A lie? I just watched it. It was great. I like the coconut tree bit. All right, so let's try to get this back in. And like that? That's it, that's all. Four terabytes? What? Four terabytes. You are gonna have five total terabytes of solid-state storage. Jesus Christ. It's gonna be grand. So you're gonna have to, you can see this is the, like the bigger spot. You need the bigger thing to come off for the bigger drives. I hardly doubt that's true. It goes under here. I don't think that's right. Well, where else would you put it? There's a separate table that connects to this, right? Well, we'll have to take this off and see if it goes under there to find out. Burn up a screen. A camcorder. Okay, see? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. I was like, I knew it. I was right, but then I was like second guessing. I was like, am I gonna cave into the linus? You did. You caved, everyone caved. All right, so now that we got the NVMe in and the CPU and RAM, the case. You could do that. I'm just gonna stand here. Yeah, harder than it looks. Yes. To not drop things. I'm gonna be all right. I'm gonna hold on. What I gotta- Jacob, you okay back there? Do you need some privacy? No, I'm okay. I don't know. I think we should ask him why, what he's doing climbing all these coconut trees. You know what I'm saying? So, why you gotta climb a coconut tree, Jacob? Nearly there. Ooh, it's actually very nice. Yeah, this is the Meshify 2 from Frackel Design. There should be screws to go with the case in order for me to keep the motherboard in, right? Yeah. The best part of our G-Rig reboot is that they're all fine when I'm not like laying into them while the camera's rolling and the pressure's on and the lights are brightening. Boom! Okay, now wait, hold on. This is actually dangerous what you're doing right now. Really? You're about a centimeter back from where the motherboard needs to be. And if you had a board that has like armor on the back or something like that, you'd be fine to just kinda scrape it in there, but you do not. So you see this bare PCB and all these fragile looking components. You knock one of these caps off the back of this board, it's dead, I do not have another one for you. When you're putting it in, you wanna line up this middle hole here with the nubbin right there. That's what you want, because that way, to get it into position, you're not gonna be scrapy scraping it all over the place. But I'm not gonna do it for you. I mean, if people wanted to tune in to watch someone who actually knows what they're doing build computers, they would watch Linus Tech Tips, other than our G-Rig reboot. There we go. Not bad. I'm assuming. Assume makes an ass out of you and me. I hope mostly you, not me. Ass-u-me. Get it, assume. Oh my God. Words to live by. You are so old. Now at least he's being honest. Okay, and I'm supposed to put them in the four corners, right? Nine, but sure. Nine, oh, okay. And that should be good. Good. Wait, what the hell screw did you use? Wait, did I use the wrong one? Hold on, get a close up of this. Okay, let me see what screws you're using this time. Yeah, these. I'm not sure if it's- What are you doing, Johnny? It's Jacob. I know. My brother's name is Jonathan. Really? Yeah. Now I know you're gonna be doing creative stuff with the machine, but you are planning to play some games too, right? Yeah. Like what? Basically some AAA games like Cyberpunk, if it'll ever work. And Red Dead Redemption 2. Cause like, I kind of like playing around with graphic settings, see how well computers can run on like the highest settings and stuff. I think that might be the reason why my computer died because I keep like trying to push it more and more. And I guess, and dropping it too. Well, you won't be able to kill this by turning the settings up. This should be able to handle just about anything that you would throw at it. Cool. Yeah, you're gonna be blown away, I think. Like have you ever even experienced a high refresh rate monitor? No. Okay, cause we're going to 240 today. Really? Yeah. Holy crap, that is actually really awesome. We should probably put in the power supply. All right, Jamie. I know you guys got a bunch of jakes here, but come on. No, that's definitely not the way. Oh, oh, there we go. Wow, nice job, Jackson. It's really useful watching novice builders. I mean, I think the manufacturers of this hardware should be just paying such close attention to this because frankly speaking, it's, we kind of talk about how it's like, oh, it's easy. It's just adult Lego. It's not, it's not intuitive necessarily. You really want to be able to have the lowest common denominator build a PC, right? Did you just insult me saying the lowest common denominator? No, no, no, I said that that's the goal. Oh my God. You're just one of our stepping stones to get there. Gee, thanks. Okay, do I connect this to the top? Absolutely. All right. And then I'm going to help you with the cable management back here, all right? Cool, thank you. You want some more slack? Yes, please. You want more slack? Yes! The next thing we can do is the graphics card, right? Oh, the liquid cooler. I forgot about that. That's what you do. It's not even open yet. You're supposed to treat, you're supposed to treat it with care. What are you doing? Efficient. Almost fully unboxed already. And it's taken me like seconds. Check this out. We've got a triple 120 millimeter radiator, RGB freaking cooling fans. All you have to do is install it. Okay. That's good. It goes right for the mounting hardware. I like it. See, everyone else claims to have studied, but you actually studied. If there's something big that I'm not fully educated on, I need to like prepare myself. Like- Where are you going? Why could I hand it to you? Oh, thank you. Well, like, can I please have it back, dad? Wait, hold on. This is your third attempt to win ROG Rig Reboot? Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, cause like- Hold on. Is this still up? We have to watch it together. Yeah. Alexa, this is simple. And then that was the first year. And then- Oh, that's cute. That's cute. No, it is. It is. I like it. So wait, is that the same machine you're still running? Yeah. Let's get it replaced. I'll show you the second one later. Oh, now that's interesting. What's up? Asus and their infinite wisdom. Bless them for sponsoring this series. Has designed these fans with little, like they're not level. You see that, Andy? This might cost you a little bit in terms of static pressure. So performance might not be quite what it could be, but for maintenance, you are going to want the fans pulling air through the radiator like this, because it means that cleaning the dust off of the bottom is super easy. So now what you gotta do is get that boy on there. You just go, bam! No! You gotta treat it with care. You gotta be, like I said, like that. First, you gotta get the mounting hardware on there. There we go. Four. Wow, you managed to pick out the right ones. I don't think that has ever happened on ROG Rig Reboot. I'm smarter than you think, Lance. Did you just say you're smarter than Ethan? No, Ethan, if you're watching this, I did not say that. Oh my God, Ethan is here. This guy, Jeffrey. Jacob! This guy says that he's smarter than you because he figured out the CPU cooler better than you did. I did not. What would you say to that? He is taking it out of context, Ethan. You are an amazing human being, and I would never insult you. Look how hurt he is. I'm not gonna lie, I still don't know much about computer. Oh, get you thinking out of here. Go run channel SuperFlight. Oh! Did you know he works here? Uh, no. Literally dropping sick burns on our previous winners, not knowing that some of them are in the building. Oh my God. You got two. The building of a computer is easy. Building a computer while a camera operator can see what you're doing, not as easy. That really adds to the pressure. It does. And Andy puts a lot of pressure. You know he's like computer expert too, he's judging you. Really? Yes. Did you see the rig he did for his Intel Extreme Tech upgrade? No. It was like this big. I mean, I knew that you broke his bed. Wow. That's part of it. Oh my God. In fairness to me, it looked a lot more solid than it was though. A lot of hanging hangers there. That's not... Let's see what we can do about that. That's not helping. Stop it! It's a PC and a cat toy. Can I have your hand real fast? Nope. Ah! Trying to... Ah! There! That's what you get for like finicking with all this technology. You deserve that. Wasn't that bad of a punishment. It was just a slap on the wrist. I like how we're both tiptoeing right now. Yeah. We actually can lower the table and he's not exactly tall either. Oh, thank you. Whoa! Jeez. What, you thought you were growing taller? I'm not sure what was happening. It's like, we're kind of seasick there for a second. Welcome to Jacob Tech Tips. Wait, this is not Jacob Tech Tips. This is Jacob's Short Quickie. We're unboxing a new Asus... Asus Quickie? Assh**t! Wait, wait! Assh**t! I'm just gonna unbox this. Holy crap, do you see this? Oh, those are nice keys. Let's take this out. Oh! Okay, let's see. Oh, what is this? Oh, it's a numpad. Hey Andy, you should probably get some B-roll of me like pretending that I'm listening to music. Cause I... Yeah! I only thought I was just gonna get this, but this... I'm like, what? Yeah, yeah, come on. Let's get back to building. I'm assuming it's this one. No. This is some sexy boy on boy action right here. First all-male kiss on LTT. Wait, I'm falling? That looked like more than a kiss too. I'm gonna assume you're gonna cut that and be like, oh, I know where this goes now. It goes with this. He assumes we're gonna cut that. Please do it. Where did I put that? Cause I'll assume you can't just leave it hanging like that. You, yeah, you'd think that, but no. Really? You can. That's what PC is about, choice. So you just want to leave it like that then? There's lots of options. I mean, that is one of the options. I believe in you. Oh wait, is it possible to use this? Why don't you rewind? Okay, here, I'm gonna be your timeline. We're gonna... And there's a heaven here, where it ain't no bad zero, all night over here. You were wound too far. There's screws on the back of these. So I can put screws on here. Okay, okay, all right, I am smart again. That's weird, I only have... What the heck happened to your screws? Not sure. A whole thing of screws. Wait, is this it? Yeah, there it is. Yeah, you're the one to put it in this bag. So it's your fault, not mine. I believe the footage will show that I did not in fact put that in there. The footage will tell that it was him not me. That goes in there. Okay. Ah! I believe. I'll help you. Thank you. Okay, there we go. All right, then it has to come through here. You are so immature. What? All I'm saying is put the thing through the glory hole. Okay, just do this already, God. It's GPU time. The fact that I'm like, this close proximity with it is amazing. Wait until you see how much it weighs and how big it is. You are not kidding. This thing is really heavy. What? I'm sorry for those who can't buy one right now. I would give this to you, but unfortunately I need it for my computer. Wow. Wow. I mean, like, at least I'm not trying to sell it three times the price. That's fair, actually. This GPU probably has more memory than your old system. My laptop had like two gigs. Two gigs. It was horrible. Just don't wreck it. I will try not to. Not bad. Good technique. All right. This is it, moment of truth. You want to fire it up? Oh yeah, sure. Let's fire it up. So much power. Oh my God. Wow. This is really clean too. Yeah. And like, the RGB is actually not that bad. It turned out actually not- RGB looks pretty good. Yeah. Now I asked you to unbox some peripherals. Where the devil are they? They're all here. 240 Hertz. 1440p. I guarantee you it'll feel different. It's different. Oh no, like I can tell, totally tell the difference now. Wow. I don't have to play video games. I can just play this as a game. Just play- Play mouse as a game? Playing mouse as a game and join the 240 Hertz. All right. Why don't we find you a game to play? Cause that's sad. Are we cool? Okay. Hey. You're kidding. Oh wow. Bad timing. Wow. I like it. It's what made me come here. So I figured I'd bring it. Oh, that's for me. Oh, thank you. Yeah, no problem. How do I look? You look great. Everyone that entered to ROG rig reboot, this is my third time trying and I almost did not do it. So please keep trying and you never know what could happen. Here we go. Getting there. ROG. Okay. Is that good? Asus can throw that on their website. Compatible with that. With compatible with Le Pouce. So it's all good. Okay. So how's a 400 FPS sound? Jesus Christ. That is sick. Is that enough FPS for you? More than enough. My God. Cause I can get rid of some of them. You can under clock it. This is totally cool. Thank you so much for all this. Here we go. Come on. Come on. Oh no. Wow. 82 damage. If only you had something other than a pea shooter, you actually would have had them. Got Red Dead Redemption going as well for something a little bit slower paced. Might be more your speed. More Island speed. Looks amazing. My God. And the color accuracy on this monitor is amazing too. And it's yours. It is mine. I can't believe. As soon as we fix a couple of things. So a little awkward, but we broke your side panel. Really? It wasn't entirely our fault. It's tempered glass and sometimes things happen, but it'll look like this without the cracks. No way. Hey. Holy crap. That looks so sick. It shattered. We're going to get that for you. And that's it. Congrats. Cool. Thank you so much. Enjoy the new machine and you guys enjoy the next episode of ROG Rig Reboot, which is coming very soon. Oh, I just died. How much was for the PC? Cause I do not feel like, feel comfortable like getting it for free. Can you take my wallet? Please. I'm going to go to the LTT and XSUS ROG for the new rig.
