so it's ROG rig reboot time again and yeah you're coming over here right guys like okay you should have heard him before before the camera started rolling I was like hey do you like our review of a copy Lake process you're like no I'm like okay well then fine so here's how it's gonna work your system getting dropped that's right so this is James and we're gonna be upgrading his craptastic rig today the asus rog Strix 1080 TI is 5k gaming and VR ready featuring to hdmi 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.4 and one DVI port allowing you to connect a VR headset and up to four monitors check it out at the link below alright James so tell me about your system here what was your theme other than Asus because ROG sponsored this ohm I was hoping to have it like white and blue because those are pretty fun colors okay well we got the white right black black black black black and gray white Hey all right black hey hey waiting blue kala mod got it right fantastic have you ever built a system before I've not you've never built a system before no wow it's not really a surprise none of the other ones yet so first things first have you ever watched like a system build guide before I have maybe not all the way through but a little bit not all the way through no you know can you imagine imagine for a moment okay if you took this approach to everything in your life okay like let's say you know you go for your you know Marine training and you go all the way through and then you get to the point where like you know you have to reload the gun and you didn't make it to that part now what I said wouldn't go so well do you know what the first step is you unpack stuff yes start with this one step one open the box like that yeah yeah it's like that's fine yeah actually no it isn't like that oh oh my man yeah okay so CPU installation easy lift out and then up this arm right here now look at it closely okay okay now the most important thing here is that it goes down with no force whatsoever okay so if you've been doing any Jedi training don't use it alright ah oh my goodness this thing just broke off what are you gonna do now I believe that's supposed to come off okay so you have watched it'll go - okay ran is the hardest part okay so this one has got to go in here I'm pretty sure if I go over here yeah all right there we go hey so uh Colton what do you think are the odds this cable mod can't works with this power supply this time oh no you know this is not a modular power supply right hold on there's another one that is - was definitely interesting um he definitely knew a lot and I was kind of fun but he has such an interesting personality you think he kind of puts on this persona for being on the YouTube videos and he kind of does but he's also that energetic and craziness most of the time go ahead and open that up hey are you old enough to use a knife oh no okay you got a pretty dank set up now but have you like ever gamed on a high-end machine I don't think so have you ever experienced the high refresh rate like higher than sixty Hertz on a monitor I don't think so no yeah you'd know if you had cuz it's amazing all right one of my friends has a 1080 okay but he doesn't let you use it no you won't you want to give him a shout-out here for being like super nice and for sharing his stuff yeah crystal real awesome do you oh okay so you put those screws through the washers now I'm not giving you the washers go find your own washers these are mine are there other washers no they're not okay so next thing we need is the blue and white case that's mostly black it can be blue in your imagination you have a strong imagination oh thanks oh okay is it blue oh yeah okay so just shove it back towards the i/o and there you go just like that nice how you feeling pretty good pretty good feeling like you've achieved something today oh yeah well you would because you're the guy who watched as part of a builds guide so this is legitimately I think I've said this a couple times but this is actually usually the hardest part of the build for new builders if you get all these little things and it looks like you're supposed to plug them into the board not at all all you do is you bundle them all up you Jam them into the blades of one of the fans just leave it like that see these holes yeah see that I'm just gonna pop that in there and you flex this out you line up the other side with the holes oh I broke it okay go for it and if it clicks it goes too far oh no I'm just kidding the click is good so we've gotta put this on here so you just got to go grab those nuts okay you came back one nut short man you dropped your nut on the ground leave my your dad's saying you're going to let them watch these videos anymore why don't we get to the most exciting part putting this fan filter back on backwards and then the right way No why don't you open up your graphics card this thing is I would say pretty much top-of-the-line except that it is GTX 10 ATT I support 4G sync your monitor as do you think right oh you got the 240 Hertz monitor nice because you have g-sync you're actually only gonna see exactly the right number of frames without any tearing or stutter or anything like that look at this documentation it's got gold lettering there it is is it heavier than you expected actually it's a little bit lighter really see I take all this stuff for granted so it's kind of fun for me to see like people having their first experience with like this grade of hardware the graphics card is kind of I feel like the main piece and a lot of um gaming PC builds and tabs such a top-of-the-line one as the Strix 1080 who is pretty fun you want to put it in right oh yeah okay and then the yeah you got to move up a little bit though I mean no pressure it's only like a $700 graphics pretty nice that's it that's the performance piece I mean the 7700 K processor the 16 gigs of ram the 480 gig you know PCIe SSD how that's like performance - ok you ready sure hit it oh that's not a good sign now I'm just kidding Python go for it it's alive alright are you just using sweet to humor me you're using dated slang just to make me feel more at ease no no I'm genuinely excited so this is cool this is the actual refresh rate that your monitor is refreshing at so that's why no matter what frame rate your graphics card is pushing out you won't see any tearing or any stuttering that's GC all right and may I just say on my old computer at ultra-low settings it took like 10 seconds just a load of the map say it's uh I don't know I get so jaded because I tool around with the stuff all the time but I forget that there are people out there that are actually like waiting you know 30 seconds to get into a game nice you're sitting up like 170 180 FPS bad you're actually really taking advantage then of the extra refresh rate of this monitor yeah like that is a lot of updates per second and I can actually like see foliage on the ground yes all my life I had waited to see foliage on the ground in this games they're frustrated I think really made a big difference actually being able to look at people and target them whereas before it was just kind of a mess whoa I I'm actually getting kills for oh that's sad let's show you how to overclock your graphics card let's put your your next to the system here that very quiet right yep okay let's kick it up a notch that's the sound of performance so if you want the best possible temperatures while you're overclocking you can just go ham on the fan speed or you can actually use the user-defined here in order to set up your own fan curve then as far as GeForce overclocking goes these days it's pretty straightforward you drag the power target all the way to the end then you start creeping up your GPU boost o'clock GPU voltage makes less of a difference these days than it used to but you can try tweaking it a little bit of all the things that can actually kill your hardware when you're overclocking increasing the voltage is pretty much it looking the computer was fun and getting to meet all the people from honest media group was really amazing it was really interesting seeing how everything fits together and it was also a lot more simple than I thought it would be just pretty much just plugging things together honestly I think : is on my favorite people Alliance meet again oh I think that pretty much wraps it up for this episode of ROG rig reboot James you've been a pleasure to build this system with I hope you get many many hours of fun out of it doing schoolwork yep so thanks guys for watching and thanks to asus rog for allowing us to hook them up with this unbelievable upgrade
