We Gave Away a SICK Gaming Rig - ROG Rig Reboot

2017-11-17
welcome to our og reboot episode 1 our first winner here is Josh he had a very simple request I mean especially in retrospect it seems like this is the kind of thing that should be pretty doable he wanted a white and blue gaming computer and we got the gaming computer we've got the ROG gtx 980ti we got the core i7 7700 k we got water cooling up the bananas but the case is black this is my peace offering can you live with a balls-to-the-wall gaming computer that's not white and that I dropped pieces of I think so good let's get started then the asus rog Strix 1080 TI features RS ink RGB lighting with a plethora of colors and the ability to synchronize effects across the ecosystem of our sync enabled products learn more at the link below your video pretty short pretty sweet had one of my friends help me write a script and then grab my sister and said hey will you help me with this that's a little awkward not like that have you ever gamed on a machine of the caliber of what we're building today never ha see I get so disconnected from this stuff sometimes I just like kind of take it for granted so then have you ever built a computer before no I should know that because the last desktop you had was what 10 years ago you know you don't even have a desktop we did at one point but I might have broken it oh that's a little awkward are you gonna break the one I build today no not at all so even just a little bit broken nope let's try okay so you got you had a desktop but we're talking it was like a Pentium 4 or something is ancient yeah okay got it yeah oh I feel old we're off to a good start okay so how much of the building do you want to do versus how much of the building do you want to be like like when I would help my dad with carpentry I'd like to do at least a good part of it okay a good part of it alright I'll pick the best part okay so the best part here hold this screwdriver and hand it to me when I'm ready for it so we're gonna open up our power supply silver box right there yes I know it's not it's not light or blue that's okay like it's 80-plus titanium efficiency which is like bananas bananas bananas are good it's 30 they have lots of potassium yeah we have these also not white and blue cables from cable mud but that don't look really good mori it's okay I don't really care at all that there's no white case I just think it's funny that Linus takes it so personally that there's no white case I don't know if I can work under these conditions ten points if you can find the motherboard in the massive pile of awesome hardware that you're getting today nice ten points perfect you leveled up it's like the beginning of a game where like you actually don't do anything you just like look in the right direction and it's like 25 XP your level 2 now yeah yeah it's it's like that no see if you installed you can pull that off okay there you go hold on to that if you ever had to it was like let's say you legitimately had something devastating happen to your board like critical functionality like the RGB wasn't working quite right if you send it back to them without that cover and the pins get damaged now that's physical damage its bricked okay do you want me to do that right now sure okay I mean you don't have to I can't force you to do anything you could just leave I could but I won't there you go at first you didn't got it but then you got it yes now you don't got it that is true okay so that looks pretty good so far next stage is we actually move on to the not white but still very good case look I'm showing you how to build the computer I can see it in your eyes you're super disappointed it's not white I'm just getting really tired of how much pressure you're putting on me about the parts not being waiting sorry here I'll stop no pressure but this is the part where you either kill your motherboard or it's fine oh that's stressful no no it's not stressful at all don't worry you know the one funny thing about this though to me is that we didn't choose an rog board for the build Oh white and blue you got this yeah it always does that it's kind of annoying it's like they were determined to have the logo upside down on their water cooler in this case all right well I'd recommend tubes up because then it doesn't run across the graphics card so I usually recommend a pull orientation on a radiator you familiar with push-pull yes the reason for that is that when you have the fans pulling air this way this is really easy to clean you just kind of go like this and you take some cat hair or whatever and you tuck it in the garbage when you turn these around the air goes through this way well now you have to take your fans off let's face it last time you had a desktop with ten years ago this thing could be running for ten years we got to be ready for this stuff okay what matters more to you your precious blue color scheme or cable management I just need to go get something really quick here this completely definitely new h100 IV - that definitely we didn't pull off the shelf because our shipment didn't get here in time which definitely has nothing to do with why your color scheme isn't right definitely isn't missing some of the hardware so I'm definitely not going to go over there and get it fantastic cooling done and without any mishaps whatsoever all right let's do a hard drive oh sorry it's in that box I was just getting this one out of your way he's like wait that was the motherboard I knew that I showed him I knew that yeah it's not going and just force it a little you know just give it the old force it so we've put it right there nope nope nope I think the white goes better with what's currently inside wow you can't just pick a color without taking a shot at me for us not getting it right you can't even do that and it's time for the graphics card so naturally I'm gonna let myself do the honors come on be a man open it with your teeth yes you ready oh and and a CD that's it that's what the highest performance graphics card on the market looks like if you'd be gentle GeForce GTX 10 atti Strix overclocked so I'm gonna get you to unbox your nice cherry IMAX mechanical gaming keyboard your mouse pad your mouse your monitor there you go are you wearing your mousepad yes excellent here we go go ahead press the button oh that's a bad sign no I'm just kidding I didn't turn the thing on your RGB is lighting up so the most important thing about the system is already working which is great so we are going straight for static color blue what you have gotta be kidding me it's ROG everything's red the tablecloths red you just be happy with Reds there we go see I told you this was a white and blue themed build would I ever lie to you Josh never what do you plan to do with your new rig I want to run some games probably will buy rocket League because I love that game I just played at my friend's house is all the time right I also might want to do some video editing and get into that more because I'll have something that can run something other than write a potato okay so color scheme 5 out of 10 performance 11 out of 10 11 out of 10 very good good answer building my first gaming PC was pretty difficult nah it really wasn't it was pretty simple all right well I'm glad and thanks for tuning into our og rig reboot all of you guys out there and a
