 This is our third winner for ROG Rig Reboot 2020 Coronavirus Edition. And he has got what I think might be the ballinist rig that we have set up so far this year. He's got an ROG RTX 3080. He's got a Maximus 12 Hero Wi-Fi motherboard. And check this out. Core i9 10900. Okay, I can't believe this thing. The packaging like disintegrated while I was... What just happened? Look, this wasn't even my fault. The glue failed on the package, I think. What happened? Hi, I'm Alberto or Alberto and I'm from Houston, Texas. We're gonna get you a sick rig today, Alberto. Have you ever built a computer before? Yes and no. Yes and no, that's a terrible answer. Help me out here. Long answer. I've experienced breaking down 10 apart computers. But I've never really built one from scratch. I believe I have enough confidence in myself to build a computer, I think. Okay, so this will be a new experience for you. I am going to be your hands. Okay, what do you want me to do with these hands? Don't say touch my junk. I'm not doing that. Okay, we've had, we've run into this with other people before. First, you should put that anti-shackle home house arresting. He wants me to wear an anti-static wrist. You know what? Let's do it. I'm feeling adventurous today. I'll do you one better. Gamers Nexus anti-static frickin' workspace. You like that? So tell me something. You can't just wear the strap. What do you do with it? Help me out here. You're supposed to put on your ankle for using your arms. Sure, that's fine. I can do that. Oh yeah, showing those ankles. So we actually need one of the components of your computer in order to ground ourselves properly. Which one can you guess it would be? Case? No. That's non-conductive, right? No, we want it to be conductive. We want to ground ourselves. What's that? I was going to say the power supply. Absolutely, yes, the power supply. Yes? Yes. We're getting real unusual with this build today. We are starting with the power supply. You got the ROG Thor 1200 watt platinum. That's right, my friends. 1200 watts? 80 plus platinum efficiency and impregnable packaging. Yes! Unless you add a second RTX 3080 and SLI. Just kidding, because SLI is dead. What about Radeon? I heard that they're still alive. I don't want to make assumptions, but you're the kind of person who could only afford that Dell and laptop that you showed me in the video. Let's get real, man. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. We're being real. I understand. We're being real. We're being real here. You're not buying two Radeons. College student, you know, I get it. I get it. I hear you, man. That's why we got to get you this free computer. Because you seem like a very clever individual. I'm sure you want a full fellowship to whatever school that you're going to. The Communist Party school or whatever. Well, no, he's got the sickle and hammer behind him over here. I love it. Well, better. I did that in high school for painting class. I've been there for a while. Depending on what school you went to, your teacher might not have been too impressed with your assignment. Hey, it's Texas. You know, we got everything here. All right. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to power off the power supply. We're going to plug it in. Then we are going to put it under the table, plugged into the wall. And then we are going to attach our clip to the chassis of the power supply. What do you want to do next? Oh, we should get we should get all the parts out here. You got a damaged CPU and parts you can't even get. All right. What do you think? Did I do a good job, David? It's like a sickle. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for that. What do you want to do first, man? We got the the motherboard. Motherboard. You bet. Let's do it. Maximus 12 Hero motherboard. It's got all that RGB. It's got all that support for Crossfire and SLI. It's got frickin, I don't know, at least two M.2 SSD slots. And we don't even have to use the motherboard box as a makeshift test platform because we've got the Gamers Nexus ModMad. Can I ask you a question? Can I put these stickers on the computer for you? Yeah, you can. I can? Wonderful. Yeah, you can. Wonderful. I'm gonna put those aside for now. What do you want us to do next? Here's your motherboard. We should install the CPU. Sure. Yeah. I believe. Let's find out if it still works. All right. Have you ever installed a CPU before? Never. All right. Well, let me tell you, installing a CPU is totally different from installing a CUP. It's a Core i9 10900K. It's flipping fast. Oh, it's the unlocked one? Oh, yeah. So what do I do? Help me out here. You got to guide me through this. So it's a square shape and there's pins on it, right? Um, that's a negative, soldier. Oh, no pins. Okay. Um. You know, it's funny. Sometimes I worry RG Rig Reboot contestants aren't being entirely candid about the actual terrible computer they're using. But I believe you. The fact that you legitimately thought Intel CPUs had pins on the bottom, they haven't had pins on the bottom in 10 years. Really? Over 10 years. Yeah. I need to watch more Tech Click again. Yeah. No worries, dude. Okay. Here we go. So, yeah, you got, you got, it is square. So you got one thing right so far. Okay. So is there, is there an arrow in the corner of the... Yes. Little golden arrow right there. Are you supposed to align the arrow with the arrow on the motherboard? I'm guessing. We could try that. All right. So you want me to put that right there then? Um, flip it up, flip it up. The pads, you get the pad section facing down, the CPU as you place it down. Okay, cool. Why are you being so harsh with it? Isn't it? Wait, wait. Oh, I forgot. You're supposed to lift up the, um, the cage. Ah, lift up the cage. Yes. There's a little levy that you pull up and it lifts off the cage. Okay. Hey, look at that. There's the pins. We found your pins, dog. So you place the pad facing down and place it correctly into the motherboard. Hey, look at that. We got a CPU in the socket. You know what? I like you. I believe that you haven't touched any computer technology newer than like 10 years. And I also believe that you have not built a computer before. So let's have some fun here. What's next? Put in our storage. We put in a hard drive. You got a hard drive? Nope, no hard drive. Sorry. A hard drive? I'm one of the few people that love hard drives. That's by SSD, but yeah, let's put an SSD. We'll put an SSD in there. All right. But you got to pick which one. The slim one, the M.2 version. Ooh, the M.2. You've been studying at least a little bit. Did you watch other ROG rig reboots at all? I have a few of them. I watched the Australian Polish kid from two years ago. All right. And then the Zoomer one. Everyone's watched that one. Okay. So where do we put it? I do recall the new, the new motherboard has like a plastic covers that you remove and it reveals the slim SSD slots. You better believe it. Which cover should I remove, sir? The bottom long one. All right. The bottom long one. You know that was my nickname in college, eh? What? Yeah, bottom long one. That was, that was what they called me. Now what do I do? Is there a insert that you see there like a little tower that pops off on the motherboard? A tower that pops off on the motherboard? That has receivers. You can insert stuff like a USB. A small tower with receivers like a USB. Oh, no, I got it. I got it. We got the, we got the two towers and the USB and here's the Shire. And Frodo is just making his way right here. See Gollum's on his trail though. I don't believe that's where you put the SSD in. That's the insert. So that's where you put in the SSD in. M.2. Do that, do that at a 30 degree angle. Hey! 30 degree angle. Look at that. We are making amazing progress here, aren't we? So you said you could do some video editing, right? Is that right? Yeah, I do video editing. Yeah, so that's awesome. So if you got like a, like a NAS, you could use 5G Ethernet to access it at very high speeds. So you could transfer files at like 500 megabytes a second off of that NAS. Alright, what good stuff do you want to do next? Okay, we got the CPU, motherboard, SSD. You know what? Let's put the RAM. Sure. Alright, what are we rolling here? Whoa. Okay, Team Group sent over some pretty sick stuff. This is DDR4-4000CL18. How many RAM slots does the motherboard have? It has four. Four? Okay, so that's all of them. Good. You are maxed out. 32 gigs. Sometimes when I'm editing in the bench resolve, it gets laggy and it's horrible and slow. Edit, upload. Yeah, that won't happen anymore. Alright, how do I install memory? You get one stick. Yes. And you put it. I mean, they're all 16 gigs, right? I mean, they're all the same gig size, right? Yeah, they're all 8 gigs. Okay, doesn't matter where you put them. Alright, so, alright, first of all, stop playing. Two. And we insert it into the RAM slot. After that, you need to insert it fully by each edge and put force on it until you hear it click. And, well, two clicks. Did I do that okay? Yeah. Okay. And then we do it again. I just wish I had a rubber mallet because doing this with my hand is not the best. Well, you don't have to fist it, you know. Okay, what shall we do next? We should put it inside of the case. Okay. Let's install the motherboard inside the case. That's what we should do next. Alright, good plan. Let's do it. This is the O11 Dynamic XL. That's right, you are getting the XL version. It's very similar to the other versions, but like, thicker, you know. So, are there any screws in the box? Oh, well, we could find out. Yes. Da da da da da da. Making it rain. Making it rain. We should get a cup to put the screws in. Alright, I got a water bottle. LTTstore.com. So you want this kind. Yeah, that's a good tray. And then we put all the screws in there. You should align the IO shield of the motherboard to the IO shield of the case. Inside, not outside. I think we should put it face down just to make sure the motherboard doesn't fall off and hit the case. Face down. Wrong direction. Well, that is face down. We face the PC case flat down on the large area. Oh, I see. So this is what you want to do. Yeah, there we go. And I'll say the precautions, you know. We got the lock, we got the matte anti-semitic matte. We got to make it fit first, you know, kids? Alright. Well, motherboard's in. Now what? Alright, that's good and secure. Let's, um. It's not coming out at all. Let's install the GPU. No. Okay, let's put in the, you want to put in the radiator? Sure. This is the ROG Ryujin 360. It's got RGB. It's got a triple 120 millimeter radiator. And it's got three 120 millimeter fans to go with it. Alrighty. Alrighty indeed. It even has an OLED display on it. Asus is like the industry's biggest mad lads. There's a screen inside your computer. Actually, this is going to be two screens inside your computer. And it gets even better. This is one of the only, actually, this is the only radiator on the market that I'm aware of that comes with Noctua industrial PPC fans. These are like, oh, that's the good ones, right? Freaking awesome. We should install the radiator on the top, not side, but inside the computer case inside the computer case. But on the top, I don't follow. How about this? The ceiling of the computer case, the ceiling. Ah, okay. Says this goes on the back of the motherboard. I can't reach it. We got a problem. All right, let's unscrew the motherboard then. We could do that. I'm gonna help you out. Oh, oh, man. That's actually a considerable amount of work. Dang it, Lee and Lee. Oh, man. No, these are okay. These are a pain to remove. Oh, really, you guys. He wants to play me music while I'm opening up the back here to put on the motherboard tray. So while you suffer, you get to play music, right? Wow, this is like the sickest burn ever. So the machine that we sent over has RTX voice pre-configured and it basically identified his music as unnecessary background noise and is canceling it out almost completely. I actually can't hear you. It's like harmonica. Nobody could possibly want to listen to that. Cancel. Wait, you've like never seen one of these before. I've seen them before, but I never knew they're purple. Really? Huh. Okay. This is a water cooler. It is a water cooler, but where do you pump the water in? You don't have to. It's pre-filled. It's an AIO water cooler. It means all in one. So everything just comes ready to go. All you got to do is pop that puppy in there. Just a little something like that. Put them screws in there and boom, your water cooled. Now it's not as performant as custom water cooling where you have like a separate little tank thing. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I was thinking of that because there's no tank in it. I assumed it was oil or something. No, no, it's water. They just use tubes that are not very porous. So the whole thing just kind of stays sealed like that. So Alberto, we've got the CPU cooler all wired up. What's next for us? What's the next stage of this adventure that we're having together? I feel we should venture into putting the power supply on. You want to put the power supply in. Okay, I guess we could do that. Yeah, we could do that. Or what we could do is continue to take advantage of my grounding strap that is connected to the power supply. And we could do up all the wiring. What do you think? Yeah, let's put in the cables. Yeah. So Alberto, tell me, do we need this one? So that's 28 pins. Yes, that's vital. Four pins. Yes. For the GPU and I feel that you need that for the radiator. PCI Express. Yes. Now. Wrong. We need it. The good news is you got all the rest of them right. But for completely the wrong reasons, like almost nothing that you identified as the thing that it plugged into was correct. Somehow you managed to succeed and fail at the same time. I like it. Hey, fail seeding. All right. Let's go ahead and put this power supply in here. We're going to pop it open. We're going to put it in zero decibel fan mode. That's going to pretty much make it so the fan never freaking spins because you're only going to suck back maybe like 600, 700 watts while gaming. Assuming you're like doing something with the CPU in the background at the same time. Yeah. What I usually do is I have a tour project rendering the background and just gaming in the meantime. That's what you usually do. I thought you said you have like a laptop that sucks. At the school computers. Oh, school computers. That makes sense. Here's the funny thing I used to do on my laptop. So you know the fans are underneath the laptop, right? Yes. So I have this little book that's these tiny books on the sides to lift the laptop up. And then when I render videos, I get these salvage hockey fans that I bought for the flea market and put them underneath the laptop and just turn them off. They're a bit loud, but like it works. Hockey fans. What is a hockey fan? Oh, like air hockey. Air hockey. So you salvaged fans from an air hockey table and you use them to keep your laptop cool while you're rendering. Yep. Dude, we got you taken care of here. Okay. You definitely deserve this PC more than 2Med did. I just noticed that LED panel on the power supply is kind of useless because it's hidden. Yes, that is a good point. And one that we're not going to dwell on too much because thank you Asus for sponsoring ROG Rig Reboot 2020. We are all so grateful for your sponsorship. Thank you Asus. All right. How's that? How's that for cable managed? Not bad, right? Not bad at all. Yeah. I wasn't going to show you the other side, David. Now I'm going to show you the other side. Oh, oh, it's hideous. That's okay. You can fix it. In the meantime, what do you think of putting in the graphics card? Now we can do it? Okay. Um, no. No, I'm kidding. Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Okay. Oh, the disappointment. The disappointment was palpable. Man, look at this friggin thing. RTX 3080. You can't even get those parts right now because you can't even get them, man. Unless you want to pay like, what are these going for on eBay now? 1500 bucks, something like that. So why don't you go ahead and instruct me how to install it? Where does it go? So there's PCI Express lanes. There's two of them. Yeah. They're both the same, the same level, right? Nope. Let's go with the top one. The top one. Yes. First bold. How do we put this in? So the CPU of the GPU on the top. GPU on the top. Yeah. You get that. You get that facing up. You bet. And you insert it into the PSI. I mean the PSI Express. There you go. All right. Guess what? We are actually ready to fire this thing up. The question is, will it post? Uh, well, I built it. So obviously it'll post. Okay. Tell me something, David. Have most of the computers I've built during your tenure posted? Mosted. Mosted. Is that a HDR monitor? This monitor is HDR AF, son. It's 4K. It's 144 Hertz. It's color accurate. It features an advertised one millisecond response time. And most importantly, it has RGB. Get it? Because it's got pixels that are red, green and blue. No, I'm kidding. It also has RGB lighting like on the back or whatever. You can do anything you want on a monitor like that, sir. Oh boy. Oh yeah. Man. This thing is looking sick. Ooh. And we've got a side panel to show you. Oh, I'm excited about this. This is going to be your first time seeing it. Now, I don't actually get the joke here. You're going to have to help me out a little bit. But Alex did up this for you. My hopes and dreams. What am I looking at? Is that a recycled dog food container or like what? It's part of the video. The first two seconds it's a cardboard box that says my hopes and dreams. And then I shot it. Got it. So what kind of games are you planning to play on this thing? You said you've been stuck at home. So I've been mostly a console gamer for my entire life. We're going to get that sorted out for you, bud. It's going to be interesting transition from the PC. What I've been looking for for the longest is like besides Witcher 3, like Cyberpunk and RTX, Minecraft and those 200 player plus lobbies of Battle Royale 4. Oh, that was the days. Nice. All right. It sounds like you've got some real good plans for this thing then. What do you think your peripherals? You got a wireless ROG Chakram gaming mouse. And look at this. Is that a stylish keyboard or what? Strix scope TKL Electro Punk. All right. It's time. Good luck, everybody. Hey, there it is. Nice. Now I want to help you with some stickers. I noticed that this case has a very plain front panel. It's glass. You know, you can kind of see through it too much. So where do you want this sticker? Right there, but tilt it to the horizontal. There you go. Like that. Oh, yeah. There you go. You can put that in the middle. The middle. OK, this is taking too long. I'm going to do the rest by myself. What I'm doing cannot be undone. Oh, you're adding value. You're adding your own personal value to the computer. That's right. This is my personal touch. ROG reboot. See, a lot of people think that stickers are just the parts with pictures on them. But if you want the best value out of your sticker pack, you got to use all the sticker. You're the worst. So I'm kind of thinking right here. OK. Is it going to cover the air? No, it should be good. There you go. All right. So we got Call of Duty, Black Ops, Cold War. We've got Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Doom Eternal. What do you want to see what this thing can do? What's the most pushy game there is? Minecraft RTX. All right, let's do Minecraft RTX. All right, we're doing Minecraft RTX. Here we go. Oh, look at that lighting. Cool, but it has everything like the shader is not fun stuff. No, no, there's no shaders. It's just all real time ray traced lighting. So all these this light coming through the windows and reflecting around the room and reflecting off the textures of the materials. That is all ray traced in real time. Man, this game looks so good with the RTX lighting. You can get a lot of the effect with like shaders and stuff, but it's pretty cool. Are the fans going right now or? Yeah, the fans are going. All right. What else do you want to see? What about Cold War? That's a proper one. All right. Black Ops Cold War. Here we go. OK, zombies time. 83 FPS. What are we running at? 4K with RTX. 4K with RTX? Slotter. You can't spell slaughter without laughter. OK, we're in trouble now, boys. See ya. Come on, shotgun reload. No, I'm dying. I'm dead. That's OK. I got 103 eliminations and you can too when we send this system to you. So massive shout out for your excellent video submission. You did a great job. Massive shout out for ASUS ROG for sponsoring ROG Rig Reboot 2020 and for that matter, 2019, 2018 and 2017. We've been doing this for four years and I hope to bring you another one next year. That's it for this year and we will see you guys once the calendar rolls over. Hopefully by then everyone will be all vaccinated and we can fly people in and do these in person again because it's even more fun that way.
