this thing working hello jack start the music hello welcome I totally butchered that intro I was supposed to start on the graphic not my face and then I realized I'd been made out so screw it who cares about intros anyway what's what's up guys welcome back to booted this is episode 2 of season 5 and I'm just gonna come right out and say it if you guys have already seen my channel update then you're already aware of this if you haven't well you might you may or may not care or be disappointed or glad who knows that this will be the last season of booted for the foreseeable future um I decided about a month or two ago that this is going to be the last season just because I don't want to really sacrifice any quality on my regular content for this here live stream and as much as I love doing the show I really do I really enjoy it it's just a fun super fun way to connect with you guys and show off some awesome pcs that you guys submit as much as it's much fun as I have doing this I still have to look out for my regular content and I saw a slight slippage of quality in the last few months in in that in those types of videos since doing booted so if you guys want more details on why this is the last season stuff I've uploaded a channel update video and you can go watch all the details listen to me ramble on about that and other things some other important channel updates there as well but I'm not here to talk about that today today we are doing the damn show as far as I'm concerned it's not over until the fat lady sings and I haven't sung yet so with that in mind I'm going to go ahead and press on forward we're going to talk about what happened last week briefly because there was a bit of controversy in the elected week one finalist who was Brad now I'm going to remind you guys of his system beautiful beautiful system but once it was revealed that Brad had been voted as the week one finalist last week a bunch of people in chat were saying that no no I don't know if this is a legitimate submission because I've seen pictures of this exact system on a form I believe it was overclocked 3-d or overclocked net I can't remember exactly which one it was a popular forum people had seen these exact pictures and they were linking linking this in chat these photos and I thought ooh this could very well be a fraudulent entry so I contacted Brad and I asked him to send me some pictures of this system and I give him some weird you know things I said all right I want you to have a sign that says awesome sauce on it and I also want you know have the date and leave one of the PCIe cables unplugged because I felt like that was if he was if he was a scumbag and he was gonna try to Photoshop something that would be a lot more difficult to photoshop something like that so he did I mean he he did the whole nine yards he submitted it he was in the photo leaning on top of the the system it I even uh yeah I got a second opinion from one of the mods and checked out on both of our ends so because of that Brad is now officially the week one finalist of this season he really does as it seems right now it seems like he is the rightful owner of this rig and it's very possible that someone could have someone's that's going to build a machine of this caliber is going to be involved in forums and wanting to share their system obviously if he was thinking about submitting his his rig to booted it makes sense that he's shared it with other people online in the past so congrats to Brad for actually owning this PC it's a beautiful work of art just another side look here just absolutely stellar so just wanted to clarify all of that so that's all cleared up yes I was going to give a shout out I forget his name but the runner-up who had the like the neon green and purple system who got second place last week shout-out to YouTube and because that was a really killer system and you would have been the week one finalist had Brad not actually been legitimate with his entry so on that note we can go ahead and move on to our next five contestants of this season these are the second way this is the second wave of liquid-cooled pcs this is the water-cooled addition of booted first and only one sadly however it's been really exciting so far we've seen a lot of crazy stuff and it's going to continue with gyro hi ro hi hero I I just don't know so I apologize if I'm butchering your name but you've got a pretty killer system here fractal design define s one of the one of my personal favorites you guys haven't been able to tell until core i7 5820k msi x99s sli creaked edition motherboard corsair dominator Platinum's 16 gigs and we've got a gtx 980ti some Samsung Evo SSDs in there and for water cooling you can see he's got some beautiful white radiators here that are excess PC the race storm CPU block also from excess PC and excess PC GPU block as well alpha cool for the pump yes this is pretty sexy so obviously you can see he's gone with the black and white themed rake here the bends in this this rig are very simple from what I can tell there's nothing crazy going on it's it's very minimal but the the bends look good they're relatively straight sure if you put a level on them they'd be more or less more or less flat across the board and I'm really digging that water block actually and I kind of like how the water block the little slivers of copper match the copper block on the GPU I just kind of like how those two those two things match it's just it looks good looks good my opinion I've got some white fluid in there as well this is Mayhem's pesto see a lot of Mayhem's pesto in this season seems to be a very popular you've trained your cables quite nicely as well they look very very clean uh you know there's no overlapping they've um they've definitely been been trained well you've taken them too many a cable daycare session I don't know I don't know what I'm saying anymore this is a shot with the LEDs on and also the the image that I happen to choose for this episode's thumbnail the video thumbnail this is it um because it just looks freakin sweet I just I didn't even realize that that waterblock lights up that excess PC block lights the eff up with them LEDs and it just really draws your eyes to that region of the case and yeah just looks just looks great like in those bits power fittings as well again very clean very simple it's not too extravagant gets the job done it's classy it's a classy system here you got gyro gyro I don't know all right let's move on to eat it yeah now Ian may very well win the Internet with this rig of his because uh it's a portal themed system and it's uh it's probably one of the best portal themed computers I've ever seen it's just absolutely spectacular so and he's even got the figurines you know stand nearby I think we're wearing the same headphones those look like same exact k7 xx's a kgs shout-out to you on that nice nice taste but what a great case also to pick for a portal theme Drake the fan takes enthu primo I mean it looks like it was straight-up made in a lab and aperture laboratories and just all the decals that you have here are just freaking dope as someone in chat said dope sauce super dope sauce and I love the colors as well I mean this is classic you know portal the portal BOTS Peabody and get the other guy's name but you know look at them look at them Ben's too so the colors here are just absolutely beautiful I mean you've got that little bit of that orange and blue that represent the the robots but then the rest of its just clean and sterile like a lab and it's just I really really like how you left the ATX 24-pin cables and the PCIe cables black and white I'm glad you didn't go extreme with like more orange and more blue because it's enough those bends are so long and there's you know they're just kind of all over the place that you didn't really need to like paint it up anymore with with more color so I think you just did it really it was a really good choice on your end great choice of chassis as well as I mentioned and I love the bends in these runs I mean these runs are super long and I just I love the blue Bend coming out from your your CPU block going down to like where the power supply shroud is I love how it kind of just edges around the GPUs and then it tucks back in a little bit you know kind of curves back in it's just a really subtle angled Bend but it just there's and there's a couple of them here and it just looks really really clean man really nice work these are gtx 980ti s you know it's a good system when we're not even talking about the actual like components really it's more about just like the the Meisel and sin of this system it's just really really well done 32 gigs of HyperX fury ram ddr4 and 5820k I think I might have mentioned that I don't know until 750 series 400 gig SSD yes yes look at the back plates ah the soap beaut well wifey sauce really likes the system she she likes portal a lot she was playing it not too long ago with her brother-in-law the other day so she saw this and she's just like wow it really is one of those systems just makes you go wow look at the sli bridge bro look at the sli bridge that's an EVGA sli bridge but he's gone ahead and modified it to actually have a light up aperture logo what even is attention to detail I thought I knew what it was I don't clearly very very nice yep decal on the motherboard as well thanks for pointing that out just everything everything so money it's so money yeah and uh white LEDs as you can see in this picture of course be really disappointed if they were like green I mean fucking weird right um just look at that really well illuminated nice and even lighting all around at least from what I can tell in this picture and you get that really nice case accent lighting as well on the Primo freaking fantastic man well done everyone's gonna have a tough time winning the audience's heart and portals portals just got such a huge huge fan following huge fan base alright but this this this PC is no slouch by any means this is Chris's system and he's wrecking a a Corsair 750d and he's got there's a lot going on here but in a good way he's got um two gtx 980ti s2a sli 64 gigs of tried NZ ddr4 at 3000 I haven't seen this much tried NZ since the g-scale booth at Computex that's a crap ton freaking memory 64 gigs and I really like the carbon fibre job that you've done here on the five and a quarter inch bay and with that big MSI logo it just looks really professionally done I don't see like any frayed edges it looks completely straight on both the edges and it's a fatty case badge as well just looks really nice and it also looks like you don't really have any bends in this system it looks like it's all just a straight straight tubing you're using some Mayhem's glass piping so straight tubing all around no bends and you're just kind of using these chrome fittings to kind of connect all the tubes together which I like the way you've done it granted it's probably could've couldn't have been cheap to buy all those fittings probably cost more than some people's systems somewhere somewhere out there someone has a system that's cheaper than the cost of these fittings but I digress also really really nice choice of the waterblock I really like that supremacy Evo the transparent one where you can see the the red fluid flowing through kind of nice just how you've got a lot of airflow going through here as well to intake fans at the front you've got two more at the bottom of the case and you've got a 360 rad it's an ek slipstream I believe cool stream sorry cool stream radiator those are the slimmer ones got that at the top of 360 at the top 240 at the front and just a lot of good air flow coming through this case looks like you have like all pretty much like neutral air pressure because even put the same number of fans going in and out cable sleeping looks right on the money as well right on it super sharp bro I think you have one more picture here oh yeah I'm not exactly sure what happened with this photo I can't tell if if that's the camera doing this weird artifacting this weird blurring at the bottom or or if you did something to your backplate it's interesting you've got a msi branded backplate there too do you work for him aside Chris since in since the little sponsorship brand dealio here I don't know but I'm not sure exactly what's happening with this picture someone knows what's happening with this waterblock that on the GPU please inform me am I missing something overall very nice rig Chris we are next up we've got Anthony and Tony and we don't see too many of these on booted but this is a micro ATX build in the fractal design node 804 very nice chassis it's kind of a compartmentalized kind of like the Corsair air 240 or air 540 I believe this is the case that Paul uses Paul's hardware for his mass or as HTTP sea at home which seems to be having a good time with that core i7 5820k a lot of xi9 builds here of course on the EVGA x99 micro to mother word very nice kind of color neutral board very color neutral system you've got a lot of just black and gray light gray but I really like it it just looks really when you have it when you have a just a very neutral color palette it's just completely timeless I feel like you'll never get sick of it and you've got 16 gigs of Crucial Ballistix elite memory in there as well I really love how fat how you've just really taken up all the length that the case has to fit that reservoir in there that ek uh but ek rez it just looks like oh I just love seeing things filled out I love seeing cases being completely used to their max max capacity from a real estate point of view and you've got a nice radiator at the front there 240 I believe those are alpha cool Nexus S 2 st 30s got a 240 there and a 240 millimeter on the other side of the case I believe take a look at that really like even though this is soft tubing I believe yeah its soft tubing the bends are really short because you're dealing in this dealing with a smaller chassis so they don't look all drooping stuff they're like tight they're like tightly tightly done it's not too much excess tubing going around looks very nice and I think you just did a perfect job with the cables there as far as the colors go the black the gray and then the light gray just kind of creates this really nice gradient that that really just suits the rest of your build nice nice nice nice money shot mono shot can't tell if the the fluid looks a little cloudy or if that's how it's supposed to look it's Mayhem's UV clear blue kind of looks like there's semen in it or something but it could just be me might just be the photo I what do I know about semen water and they've got a little sneak peak here of your SSD just peaking through this is obviously the other side of the chassis we've got you know your power supply and you can see the pump right there and Samsung the Evo just chillin and if we take a look at the other last picture here you can see it's not really the best kind of a shot here but um can see that there are some UV LEDs darkside UV LEDs to illuminate the whole thing so that makes sense with the UV coolant that kind of just gives the case a little bit more of a personality at night which I kind of like I really like like kind of transformative builds that look different during the day than they do at night I think that's pretty cool um alright and let's talk about our final contestant who is again Rafa Rafa Rafa whatever it is you have a pretty killer system here buddy this is a carbide air 540 from Corsair 59 30k an Asus Rampage 5 extreme motherboard 32 gigs of g.skill ripjaws for ddr4 two gtx 980ti s in sli 480 gig Intel 730 series SSD and you got an NZXT hupe loose in there purple themed I like purple it's different it's not red green or blue or white it's just a little bit more unique I'm starting to see more purple builds and kind of pinkish builds as well wonder wonder where people get getting their inspiration for pink builds these days but um this this purple system is really nice and the first thing I thought was while the purple in the pastel coolant that you have is not really the same shade of purple in your cables because that's like purple purple and you're in your sleeping but then it's more like a lavender color in your in your tubes but then I thought you know it kind of works because in your cable sleeping you don't just have that really rich purple you also have kind of like two shades of grey and there I felt like those colors kind of combined like my brain just kind of creates an average of those three colors which is the lavender that I see in your tubing so it sort of balances out I don't know does that make any sense do you guys maybe I'm just being crazy right now but I like the tube ending is well very very different get some very simple bends at the the lower half of the of the system and you get this kind of a fun whimsical Bend that goes from your CPU water block and it just goes through kind of like slips over to the left side of the case and then it goes to the right all the way across and then up to your radiator at the top there which is an equal EK cool stream pe - fuh - 360 I'm sorry - 40 - 40 at the top 360 at the front so I know I know exactly why you did the bend that way that long vent same reason why I did a hot line the way I did for also the same been going from the CP water block to the one of the radiators actually that that one goes to the front and hot line but I think it you just did it to kind of create more balance in the system instead of just going straight up from the water block and over that kind of would have left the upper left quadrant of your system looking a little bit bare and it there wouldn't be much color there just be like oh what's over here this this this section this corner of the system ashmore Ram cares about ram so I think you've done a nice job balancing things out adding more color to the to the overall picture here and let's take a look at the money shot there is one yes I believe and got an SLI a hard Ridge rigid sli bridge there now here's here's my one critique if I had one on this system is that there are some red accents on your motherboard that kind of just don't have a place in the for the rest of your the color palette here doesn't really match with purple my opinion so that that kind of just looks a little jarring to me and granted from like the side angle if we look again you can't really see too much red here other than maybe like the surface mounted power button on the motherboard and you know maybe some stuff behind the video cards but other than that it looks it looks pretty good it's only when you get like an angle shot like this where you really see yeah ROG branding and stuff and here's a cat be cool if that was purple that was somehow modifiable but I don't know if it is but that would be my one my one little little small gripe other than that very good attention to detail here you've also painted the the PCI slots as well as the fan grill on the back your system which you just nailed it right on the head I mean it's the exact same shade of of lavender as we see in in the tubes so good on you mate for that one and then and then here we get some LED action alright so I can't tell if it's just a picture doing this but it lit what kind of pink the LEDs look pink they could very well be purple and I'm just getting thrown off by the sensor in the camera um but it looks pretty man it looks really really nice with the LEDs on I think I actually like it look I like the way it looks better with the LEDs on just really um I don't know I think it's just how it reflects on those radiators maybe just add so much more color to the to the overall system but um yeah that's a lot to say about that Rafa so thank you for sending those in all everyone who participated in this particular episode of booted thank you you're all very brave because it's it's not an easy competition this season it's very very highly competitive and next episode next week we're going to see some even crazier or just as crazy systems which are reserving for that for that special special time but um I think right about now we should go ahead and vote on which of these pcs should move on to the final round so right about now you'll be seeing in chat my lovely moderators Matt a geek spider fan and my wife of course hopefully at least one of them will post a link in chat right about now and tell you to go vote go vote on which system you thought was the best because um that's what we're about to do and in the meantime while you guys are getting that situated and thinking really hard about which system deserves to go on to the final round I'm going to make a quick announcement which is about like giveaway I I built the gaming PC yay me I built the gaming PC last month few weeks ago and in the dark bass 900 dark bass pro 904 be quiet amazing case and a lot of you guys already know this but I'm giving it away and the giveaway which just go find find it on my channel it's called building a gaming PC and giving it away July PC of the month watch that video and in the description you'll find a link a link to the to enter the giveaway if you haven't already let me tell you guys that giveaway ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time so if you haven't

it now um alright yes you all need that giveaway PC I agree thank you for the donation Todd Johnson to you my brother and sorry if I missed anyone else's donations earlier I have not been keeping a good enough eye on Chet but now is the time to take a look at our next finalist for season 5 the last season of this particular series I'm going to go ahead and crank up the voting music and we're gonna go ahead and switch over to this page all right so we've got gyro Anthony Ian Brian and Chris so many good options but only one unfortunately can move on to the final round at the end of this month so who's it gonna be guys who's it gonna be who's it gonna be whoo all right let's take a look let's take a look here right yeah large this for ya all right here we go refresh and the winner is Ian with 52% of the vote holy moly good lord that's one of the largest landslides I think we've seen in the series so far 53% 193 votes good Lord with um gyro coming in a far bit no I'm sorry Chris coming in a far behind second at 16% and gyro in third following closely behind Chris but holy smokes yeah I'm not I'm not too surprised here guys that Ian kind of swept the floor with the rest of the competition with his portal system it's just yeah it's gonna be tough to beat this one guys it's gonna be tough so right now just to recap we've got Ian with his portal rig going up against Brad again just an incredible piece of work here both both rigs really have a very good chance of winning this contest so um and you guys can't give Brad any hard time like you can't be biased that there was some kind of toss up you know last week I just want to make that clear I don't want anyone to dock Brad points because he may or may not have been the legitimate winner last week he's proven it he's wiped his his record clean he should be treated like any other contestant but man it's going to be tough between uh Brad and Ian guys so uh well Jeff will set the see who the next finalist is for booted when we return one week from today but that is pretty much gonna do it guys I don't think I have anything else to announce or update you on um pick up a shirt from the awesomesauce store if you like shirts some of them some of which are out of stock but some of them are not out of stock and you can buy them and stuff and support channel whatever and that's all I'm going to say I'm gonna stop
