The 500 FPS Gaming PC!

Today is the first day you can buy a 500 Hertz

gaming

monitor, the Alienware aw 2524h is now available and on sale, and whether you're a head-clicking pro or just an enthusiastic hobbyist, hey, we've proven that A higher refresh rate is one of the tangible things you can do to improve your

gaming

and we tested it with everyone, no offense to Paul from Paul's Hardware, from the aforementioned enthusiast hobbyist to the sole protector, but your monitor is nothing without a PC to control it. and a monitor like this deserves an equally top-of-the-line PC to take advantage of every one of those damages, so we'll take the pain to your wallet because this thing has the best specs for everything new we have. never before used with a screen, we have an RTX 4090, we have, oh yes, the new 7950x 3D and well, if that all sounds a bit difficult to swallow, we also have sensible alternative options for everything that is.

It's still high end if you want 90% performance at a much more reasonable price, the only question left now is once we're done building this PC, how many games can we play? Above 500 FPS, wait and there is another question. who's going to Segway our enlisted sponsor enlisted is a free to play multiplayer World War II shooter jump into large scale battles from authentic moments in history like the Normandy invasion check it out by following the link in the video description The answer was me haha, I was always amazing. That's it for our talking points today, so we'll go ahead and start first with the introduction to the Alienware aw 2524h.

I'm not sure I fully understand the reason behind that name, but 25 24 8, so it's a 24 and a half inch monitor on sale today in North America for $830. It's actually been available in China since February 8th, but I guess we'll have things later here, it now has an Nvidia g-sync module, um don't be scared by the price guys, you don't absolutely need to buy a monitor like this. In fact, we'll post our full review of this tomorrow, but y'all. What I need to know for now is that until the Asus Rog Swift 500 Hertz monitor they showed off at Computex 22 comes out, this is the only way to get 500 Hertz on your desktop today.

What can we really say about it? I mean, there are some things we didn't really cover in the review, like this headphone stand. I think we basically have to move on. Is it that wild or eight hundred dollars for a 1080p monitor? Okay let's start with this system of course naturally we're starting with the CPU when we want to get what kind of this is in a particular order here yeah no I don't know can you Harrison would you mind turning that on in my laptop, please, did you understand? Ok, let's start with the CPU. working completely with my notes Here, don't be confused by this case, this is a case for the 7950x which of course we chose with the AMD ryzen 9 7950x3d, this is not really a conventional gaming version in the sense that normally I would say that if you want to save money, under normal circumstances you are much better off saving a little on your CPU and spending more on your GPU because most people will be much more GPU limited than they are going to be.

Limited CPU, of course, it will depend on the type of games you are playing, it will depend on the resolution of your monitor, but again, when we talk about most people, you will want to play a variety of games and it probably won't be running at 1080p, if If you're considering spending 40 series money on a GPU, you're probably at 1440p or even 4K, and if that's the case, you're going to hit a GPU bottleneck long before your CPU is up and running. It's going to be a problem in the vast majority of titles, but that's not the case today and this is one of those situations where it's less about knowing how to get the fastest GPU and then not worrying about everything else , but rather making sure that every part of the system is tuned for the absolute maximum to alleviate CPU bottlenecks because our goal is 500 Hertz.

In fact, I'm willing to bet that in some cases we won't even have a GPU bottleneck. Hi thanks. So much for a motherboard, we've gone with an aorus, something like that, let's find out what's in store, what's not, oh that's funny, okay, Jake was ranting about this before this dream started, how we have a lot of new people here right now . and I'm not going to name any names mainly because I don't actually know who it was, but people just don't really know what our processes and procedures are, so things are being put back without all their bells and whistles.

Look at this. motherboard and I was like oh okay aoris because it turns out it has a gigabyte CPU socket cover to protect the socket pins but no this is a Rog Crosshair x670e hero and the reason we chose this is, realistically, probably just because it was there and it's a motherboard that supports everything we needed and I don't see anything here about it ah yeah uh we're using the best AMD CPU currently available, so our motherboard choice should match all the ports and expansion you could want and some pretty powerful overclocking options which my script says we could see later, but actually I sincerely doubt this is an x3d chip, there won't be much we can do to squeeze more out of it.

Realistically, AMD actually has um, this is their best silicon, the way they designed the CPU is not exactly like what Intel did, where they have their hybrid architecture with their P course, their performance course and their efficiency course, but still it's It's kind of a heterogeneous design, of course, the actual calculation on this one is the same, okay, it has 16 cores in total and I think it speeds up to five points, kind of ridiculous, yes, 5.7 gigahertz, but eight of the cores have the regular Cash allocation and eight of the cores have their 3D V Cash, so they have this amount of Cash dramatically expanded on the previous 5800 X 3D, so the next generation x3d chip was 3D V Cash on all cores all the time, but here this is great.

AMD has software tools created that will tell you that will allow your OS to select which cores are most likely to be optimal for a given workload, so for something like productivity where you realistically use all the cores , it will actually perform a little worse than a regular 7950 that is not x3d and the reason for this is that the non-3dv cache course can absorb more power than they can Turbo higher, there seems to be some sensitivity to the high current voltages with its 3dv cache, whereas if you're playing, for example, Let's say let's pay that other die that doesn't have 3D V cash, let's say for now we're going to focus all this load on the 3D V cache die and that's how they can get better performance, so someday a long time in the future, if we actually get games that fully utilize 16 cores, this may not have a benefit over a normal 79.50, but it's not this day .

I don't know, oh, I hate doing it. this kind of stuff, but I don't know if we'll realistically ever see a CPU or a game, excuse me, that will fully utilize 16 cores, there are a lot of things about games that are inherently serial and just can't be processed in parallel. um, off the topic of PC building for a second. I just want to talk to you and see how you are not making games, since we, yes, there are no games as we understand them today. I mean, it's fair. At this point we might end up with experiences, some sort of gaming experience that can be parallelized a lot more than what we're doing today, but certainly nothing like what we're playing now, let's go ahead and do our Ram next, what do we end up with? ?

I'm using oh sick I think this is the exact same Ram that I bought to put in an xqcs build in case you had any issues with your Ram that's awesome so this is a g-skill trident Z5 RGB kit with the running. 6,000 Mega transfers per second cl30 and this is a 32 by 2 kit so it's 64 gigs which means it's as high as possible for an AMD Ryzen system. I think we could possibly have adjusted the timings slightly if I chose a 32 gig kit, but 64 gig is your future, but not entirely a waste of money, configuration for Ram. uh oh, before we continue, we have something really exciting to announce and it's some kind of AMD CPU. related right now in the LTT store we are running an absolutely crazy promotion on these two sizes of the Team Red CPU Pillow, so the Large Team Red CPU Pillow as well as our Ripper Thread Pillow, let's see what has this.

I don't have the perfect dimensions, that makes sense, well whatever size the ripper pillow is, there's a chance and I think I've got the talking points here at least, I really hope so. Oh, where is it? I can be a little more organized. Today, hey, we have a limited time offer, so on our 50 by 50 Red CPU Pillow Kit and our 24 by 20 Inch Thread Ripper Pillow that you can receive, you could receive a real CPU valued between 161.18 and 698.99 with your purchase based on a random drawing when each order is prepared in our warehouse, our team will use a 100-number randomizer to select whether the buyer will receive a free CPU with their order or not.

The odds of winning are 12 in 100 or 3 in 25. There are 204 prices available. A total of 70 have already been awarded and once all prizes have been distributed, they will not be replenished or made available again. At least we don't commit to anything like that. No purchase necessary. Free entry is available by mail to our distribution center. I'll have the info for that in the video description, Dan, if you could make sure it's down there and customers and free tickets from Quebec are not eligible for this promotion, so guys, check it out at lttstore.com, get your own pillow and CPU equipment. red variety or threadripper variety and you too could have this experience um uh okay well you see the hole in the pillow is a little small it turned a little um okay the point is don't worry it won't be there we will pack them separately.

I think it is the 5800 X 3D that is the top bias in that range. The point is that there are a variety of different CPUs that could arrive and it's a very good promotion, okay, let's keep moving. Oh right, and don't forget guys, our producer Dan is sitting there to handle the commercial messages for him, so when you pay at the LTT store, whether it's a bottle of water or the sick. new 3D down jacket or one of these Ripper threads or team red pillows, you can leave a merch message at checkout and it will appear at the bottom of the stream or Dan will select them for me to tackle later or what are they The other options, oh yeah, right, or Dan can respond to you at the bottom of the screen too, okay, man, we're making really good progress today.

I always feel like that when we do builds, like wow, we're basically made of the eight or nine components that go into a computer, we already have three of them ready, okay, let's move on to our uh in the cart uh Conrad corrected me, it's in the cart where you will find merger messages, sorry. Conrad and I'm sure these smart people will realize that. Oh, my only weakness. Okay, we'll fix it, oh Harrison. Can you ask engineering to bring the prototypes of the fixed shaft screwdrivers? I don't know if any of them have a Phillips head, so I'm going to use a different screwdriver in the meantime, but hey, if we're going to filter things on live streams, let's filter things properly, we have fixed shaft screwdrivers on the way and in fact We have made a lot of progress on them.

I'm very excited to show them to you. They're going to be very different from this, but I'll remind you of that too. I mean, it's a screwdriver. How different do you expect it to be anyway? The point is, hopefully. hmm, okay, well, no, yes, no, it's a what now to the right of the case behind you oh, you already have a screwdriver. I have the iFixit kit oh well no the iFixit kit won't work either oh okay it's a It's a flush mount hole or screw hole so I need a real long shaft screwdriver which you can tell a lot about a man by the state of his organization in his workshop.

No, don't learn too much about me, right? Now don't worry about the battery bank, what is the purpose of this flash? Ah, it's extremely brilliant, more than I can, more than I can say about my actions, oh, hello, yes, that will do, um, um, I just want to let iFixit know. Just because we have some tools on the way doesn't mean we still don't love you guys more, your mission is so important, everything you're working on and there's a lot of things I fix, it's just them. They have such a great advantage as being the first to move.

I don't know if anyone will ever catch up to them in terms of that repository of guides and all the different replacement parts and everything thattoo much if you know what I mean, you've seen that Dynamic before, right? It's very funny. I where it is if you don't know, there's no way to know because people only want to talk to people who know it's like, oh thank God for YouTube, right, really, a lot of problems, YouTube is not perfect, but YouTube some time has changed the way we access information and much for the better overall, okay, let's run these fan connectors down here.

I want to send myself another commercial message that was really good. Oh, I guess I should update people on what exactly that shit is. What I'm doing I determined that the AIO wouldn't fit with the tubes on the back because it was interfering with this fan, so I'm mounting it this way and I think I'm going to move the tubes up. Luckily fractal thought of this and you can reconfigure this in any orientation you want as long as it's 90 degrees which makes sense because it has a bracket on the socket so it will go in something like that, that's not perfect but Alright.

I am too. Setting my fans to an exhaust configuration because it looks like we're going to have a lot of cool air coming in at the bottom, there are two pre-installed fans that look like 120 millimeters down there, we're going to pull air directly through our GPU. and the 7950x3d, although it is the fastest gaming CPU on the planet, really easy to cool, we probably don't even need this AIO. We could put a mediocre air cooler on it, it's like 65 watts. chip from what we've measured is crazy, so make that what you'll hit me with, but Dan, okay let's see, oh wow, people really liked it that discussion about ownership, yeah, put the graph on YouTube as a kind of constant study, oh, this is for This is this, I mean, it could be, uh, it could be a good social post to talk about it, um, ok next Hi alinus, are we getting diminishing returns with monitors and televisions?

Where can they go from here with a 2 for 4K Ultra? Wides and Cutie OLED, thank you for doing a live stream during European time zones. Oh, okay, that's a very good question. I guess now for those of you tuning in late, the system we are building is designed to run as many games as we can at 500 frames per second for our new 500 Hertz monitor. The question was: have we reached a point of diminishing returns for displays? In some ways, yes, absolutely. I think when our review of this monitor comes out tomorrow, you guys are going to want to see it because we're going to get a lot more into this, but in essence, if I were to sum it up, the answer is yes, we're at the point of diminishing returns, think about it, the difference between 360 hertz. and 500 Hertz is that each frame will be updated at two milliseconds.

Okay, every two milliseconds you get a new frame versus 2.78 milliseconds. Can? Can you perceive 0.78 milliseconds? It's not that it's not real, you can't and that's not intuitive, to the average person you would think it's 140 Hertz faster. I mean, the difference between 60 and 120 is night and day, although that's only a 60 Hertz difference, surely it's 140. The hertz difference should be much larger than that, but that's not actually how it works because When you go from 60 to 120 hertz, you go from 16.6 milliseconds of repeater per frame to 8.3 milliseconds of repeater, which is an eight millisecond difference in the time that frame remains. there, of course, that is easily perceptible and even going up to 144 or 240 we show it, we show it in that video with shroud and with Corey and um oh balls, who else did we have there?

Who else was there? Guy with long hair oh yeah shit oh this is embarrassing. uh-oh uh this is embarrassing yeah the guy with the long hair help me save me save me and Paul and Paul were there someone in the chat will tell me Grimms thanks hi sorry anyway we'll prove it . at 240 hertz there is absolutely a difference in real world gaming performance. In this case, the plot becomes much more difficult, however, I don't want to be all you know like this, oh yeah, end game screen, this is it, it's future-proofed. you will never experience a better screen because that is not true, there is a lot of space, that's fine, even if a screen with a wide color gamut today is not close to what the human eye can perceive and is part of the reason for this It's not necessarily a color space problem like we are, we're getting reasonably close to what the human eye can perceive in terms of similar variety of colors, but the problem is that there's a lot of ways in which How we perceive color is affected by brightness and we are not even close to the best HDR displays.

What is, um, DCI shooting? Whatever, Dan, this seems like the kind of thing where you might know by heart what our latest DCI is. any brightness spec, I don't know, HDR is kind of useless, useless, let me, let me check, I actually don't know what you mean by being controversial, oh my god, don't give me time to look this up. I don't remember, but the point is that right now the way movies are mastered in Dolby Vision, well, okay, Dolby Vision is the only one I know by heart, so the way movies are mastered in Dolby Vision, um. they're being even though the hardware doesn't exist, they're trying to rate them, I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 tissue screens, sound familiar?

David, you're yeah, okay, yeah, okay, so this is okay. I knew it. I knew there was going to be someone on set with me who had some of the details here, so that's one of the reasons why Blade Runner is so dark in HDR, David was saying it was because it's designed for future screens which just won't work. Even whether that's good practice for an industry that has to sell you media to watch nowadays is absolutely debatable, but what's not debatable is that the way the human eye perceives it, we obviously don't want to look at a full screen. with just 10,000 nits blasting in your face, that would be extremely unpleasant, but the way the human eye perceives contrast perceives dynamic range, so the differences between the darkest and brightest parts of a scene." We are not even close to modern displays looking natural and real and it's really unfortunate because the industry sold 4K very well even though the benefit is quite questionable for many people, while in my opinion the industry is doing a job extremely bad job selling HDR even though it's something that, when done right, will benefit almost everyone and I just find it, I find it frustrating in the same way that I find the slow adoption of things like solid state storage to be really frustrating.

The industry was too busy talking about startup times and I'm sitting here saying that's not what matters, right. I was doing NCIX tech tips back then. Well, I'll show you the stupid boot time, but what matters is the responsiveness that I would show. two identical test benches one with a hard drive one with an SSD and I would just do things with the mouse that's how you sell an SSD idiots, you know I'm sitting there so frustrated everyone is talking about how many megabytes per second and how long boot no, no, show me something I care about, um, and HDR is something that suffers on two different extremes, on the one hand, it's very difficult to communicate only through text or verbally, and on the other hand, Much of HDR that exists is done poorly because the ecosystem is not mature and the technical skills are not widespread enough and part of that is that people keep their little techniques to themselves, which is frustrating from a content consumer's point of view because it's really hard to sell.

Even with content, sometimes people look at it and think that a bad HDR Master doesn't look better than a good SDR or, rather, a great bad HDR grade doesn't look better than a good SDR grade and, of course, I have seen it. I've seen it and I'm sitting here saying no this sucks that the SDR one is just white it's not right and they're not the same especially when what's bright is colorful when it's not just a specular reflection that shines on your face of someone. armor just when it's, uh, when it's a dragon in the sun, that's something that just can't be represented accurately without a brighter screen, so without brightness, we have a long way to go, we also have a long way to go go around with respect to um handling motion and part of that is the panel technology because, especially today's LCD screens really fight against smearing, still to this day OLED is helping a lot with that, there's like, what?

What do they boil down to? Almost as if it were micro Pico. I don't remember if it was like nanoseconds or Microsoft, so it's kind of something we don't measure in milliseconds anymore. That's the point, the response time of these pixels is so fast that it's incredibly fast, but part of it is the processing that you can end up with like something like that. See you in 2011. Please tell me this is compatible with AM5. You can end up with poor motion handling even on displays that have an extremely high response rate or pixels with a fast response rate.

Okay, I'm really going to need a manual for this. AIO cooler because I've never installed it before and I don't want to accidentally use the wrong bracket and I also need to make sure it has the correct bracket, seriously you guys aren't fractals what are you doing on Bud? Supports the most common sockets for both Intel and AMD. Thanks for this, this is so you don't have to redo the art and reprint your box when a new socket comes out. This is the kind of cost savings in the PC industry that drives me completely crazy, but I also understand it because it's an extremely competitive industry where if you don't save that money, you might not be able to build a product next year. .

Fractal is such a great success story that these guys came out of nowhere. lots of good people there over the years okay AMD support oh oh no way okay use the stupid hook over Mount she's a whore which means oh shit which means I need to put this bracket back on, which means I have I have some time to kill, well, Dan throws me another sales message. Okay, we'll give you one here. This is from James. Highline is looking forward to LTX first. Have you thought about doing a live ground show the Friday before LTX and 2nd? axle driver, you need a six or ten point nut as part of the axle, okay, so two things, one, yes, you'll love my nuts and number two is we'll definitely do the Wan show live on LTX, yeah It's like that, I think.

We're going to have to kick out people who are just waiting, we talked about scheduling, we were worried that we showgoers wouldn't be able to stay across the state for the entire Wan show if it continues like this. three hours or whatever, but Lan's assistants will definitely be able to be there, you know what we're going to have to give you some details about that in the next moment. I think we'll try to start Wan's show early enough. that everyone can be there, but we also have to understand that not everyone who comes to LTX gives two shouts about the ground show, so it can't go on forever, maybe we have to make a win show a little tighter.

I don't know, something will occur to us, something will occur to us, you know what? No, I'll commit now. We're not going to make it so that if you buy a regular pass you'll miss any of Wan's shows. We'll make sure, so we'll start earlier or do a shorter ground show or something. That said, I'm not going to promise that we won't do anything when we show things like this on the Lan after hours because I know Luke and I are going to want to spend some time there, but the actual Earth show will be over before everyone has to leave, it's okay, this little group continues here, hit me again, Dan, okay, let's see. here, I love your screwdriver.

By purchasing both pillows, you get two CPU drawings. Yeah, every pillow, every pillow is a chance to have a CPU inside your CPU pillow, so if you want them for both ends of your couch or whatever. Yes, you have, you have two. Those of you who may be wondering, yes we have completely lost our marbles on this CPU pillow promotion, they just take up a lot of space and we need to move some CPU pillows and this was the best way we could think of to make it That's kind of fun is putting real CPUs in them, uh, okay, this is interesting.

I put this stand upside down. This was going to be about three quarters of an inch above the CPU socket. Let's try this again, hit me again, okay? Do you have any plans in the future to build again with viewers. Ah, that's difficult, so building with viewers is no offense. Most of you aren't very good in front of the camera, so we're being honest with people. These are commercial messages. I can't lie to you, David, so that's part of the reason why with the Rog team reboot, for example, we've had some of theapplication process because you need to make a video because it allows us to evaluate, you know? your creativity and also the probability that you are good in front of the camera, the problem is that even with that selection process it is not perfect and the type of stick we had to know how to troll the winners I felt had been exhausted. so it's not like Asus hasn't rebooted the Rog.

Actually, I'm the one who killed him. It's not because we don't like making compilations for viewers, it's just that we have to make sure that whatever content we see. I'm letting you know it's new and I felt like it wasn't. I felt like it wasn't really new anymore, so there's definitely room for us to experiment with the concept again and make builds for viewers in some way, but I think. You'll see him come back in a different way, in some way, um, oh, actually, oh, I didn't have to tell you that whole speech because we have plans.

I completely forgot about our upcoming cable management product. I guess I'll announce it here. Once it launches, we'll be doing a content series that's all about cable management and fixing your worst setups, so we'll be accepting submissions from people, uh, yeah. We're going to pump poop right here, we're going to get submissions from our audience and we're going to look for people whose setup is in dire need of some cable management and we're going to send out some kind of team, whether it's me or someone else on the team here or if it's both, and we're going to do some kind of cable management makeover and you could see that we have a small budget for some other updates as part of something like that, yes, yes, we are planning to do more content with the community, but we are waiting for the cable management product to come out and I'll have to talk to Nick about it, but he and Kyle are still there too.

We're working on our cable product, not the Cable Management cable product, and I think what we'd love is for all of that to land at the same time so we could bring cables and cable management because obviously bringing me and a team and potentially a co-host or whatever it ends up looking like is going to be a big cost so they want to pay for it somehow and the idea would be that it would be through wire sales and wire management so yeah, we're doing it, yeah, Extreme Makeover cable Edition exactly exactly, we'll give it a cool name, probably lttstore.com for you or something, sorry, ignore that new merch message everyone, SEC here.

Okay, I love the out-of-the-box contest, content, how far have GPUs come compared to your CPUs? Regarding games, when do you think it is best to decide to update? You want to upgrade your CPU or GPU first. The best answer I have. What I can tell anyone is that you should only update when you have a problem. If you have a problem with performance, then you need to evaluate what that performance problem looks like. Say, for example, you want to upgrade to a 500 Hertz display and you're sitting here. okay, let's reduce the sunk cost fallacy in this business.

I spent 800 and a lot of dollars on a 1080p monitor and I only get 300 FPS in my games. Realistically I'm running a 1080p, the problem isn't my GPU, okay it's time. to get super low latency memory and a CPU upgrade or something like that, you have to think critically, you have to look at where the bottlenecks are in your system and where the weak points are that will really affect your usage. case because every system has a bottleneck, every system has a bottleneck all the time, that's what you have to remember and when I say bottleneck I mean that if it didn't have a bottleneck, if there was nothing that would restrict the performance, then the performance would be infinite, right? makes sense so wait I need to think for a second okay this is going to connect to what this is going to apply okay yeah I did this in the completely wrong order while I was talking um so you have a target you know if that neck bottleneck is actually affecting you in some way, like if your bottleneck is your CPU but you're running at 900 frames per second, then that's not a significant bottleneck, it's not something you care about, or if, oh Man, I'm trying to think. or okay, let's say you had a storage bottleneck, but it's like you're just copying files correctly, so it's something you do once a month.

Does that really matter? The answer is probably no, so you just have to think critically. what you care about and also what the cost is and if it's worth it, so I would say generally you know that upgrading your GPU is still the way to go if you want to get more gaming performance; However, if you have upgraded your GPU in recent years, I mean Nvidia and AMD, they seem to work in unison to some extent, they have really slowed down their pace as the CPU side has accelerated the pace of innovation in the last few years, I would say three or four years, so yes I was asked that question in 2019.

I would say, oh yeah, GPUs are moving very fast and as long as you have a CPU from the last eight years, you're fine. . I wouldn't necessarily say that's the case anymore, especially if you're aiming for a use case like this game with an extremely high refresh rate and relatively low resolution, then I say yes, your GPU from three years ago is probably more That's cool and it might be time for a super low latency CPU and memory or something. That shocked me, but Dan, hey, your renewable energy technology is something you would consider in the future, especially testing the longevity and efficiency of PV panels and inverters as consumers, it's really hard to compare, yeah, another industry that is a perfect example of what I was talking about.

Previously where the people who know want to be the people who know and don't really want other people to know the installers. Some I found some when I was researching for my own solar installation that were really nice and I found some that Basically, I wasn't interested in talking to you at all unless you were booking a job with them and then it was pretty much telling them what your goal was. and they would do all the specs and they wouldn't involve you at all, um. That said, I don't think it's a space that we're in a position to really address right now, whether it's on the LTT side or the lab side, it's just that there are a lot of other lower-hanging fruits. so let's go right now, I just can't, I can't commit it, I'm sorry, okay, I'm running all these bottom fans, there are a lot of fans pre-installed, in this case you have the one on the back. these two at the bottom, this is awesome, so I'm going to install them.

I'm going to plug all of these into the bottom here in hopes that when I have power, oh, cool, oh no, this is cool, yeah, the way the power supply fits in. sideways, oh, that's how they managed to make this thing relatively thin for this style of case where you have different airflow zones and all that, so we'll just run them here where it'll be out of the way of the power supply and they're all going to connect to these fan headers down here, where's my little fan header? Guys, uh, hit me with another one, then okay, oh wow, how am I going to do this?

Hey, Linus, could we have one? keycat set from you, I would love to have some kind of short circuit themed key set, uh, I would also love to see more products in the style of ldt bags. Wow, honest answer. Do I promise honesty in my combined messages today? Be honest, that's what I did, well, uh, the reason we've never made a keyset is because there's no money in it, that's the reason scouts honor that we've never made it, no we have the production. I know the facilities for it, obviously, sure, there are certainly people we could partner with to make some kind of key or keys, damn that hurts, yeah, yeah, like we've talked to guys like Leave it, but the reality is that everyone needs a cut and all we're really doing is contributing a color scheme essentially and then wanting a cut, so all we're really doing is raising the price and we just haven't found a way to get pricing competitive. in a way that our research time or design time or just timing is the biggest bottleneck of all, we haven't found a way to make it make sense to spend time on it compared to almost literally anything else we can.

Whether it's fixed shaft screwdrivers or bit holders or, you know, jackets or whatever, anything else would be better from a business standpoint and we have some major investments to take care of like we don't have problems or anything for the style. It's not like that, but we have to pay for some major investments in the lab and we just can't, we can't fuck with that, so the answer is no, for the foreseeable future, part of it is, oh, I guess there's also the whats. . We contribute to the question we ask ourselves every time we approach a product or product category: what are we doing differently that contributes something to this?

And the answer, as far as I could see, is nothing. I really don't think we will. By adding anything, you could get a keyboard in pretty much any color combination you can imagine these days, so yeah, just do it, you know, if there's someone else who does it really well, like why we bump heads or with your nose in this. um that's the other big example, oh yeah, an example that I was going to give that it's actually not just keycaps, but keyboards that we didn't think about, obviously we thought about making a keyboard, you know, when the mechanical keyboard space was really starting to take off, but my whole thing and this was in the early days of Screwdriver Productions, like four, four years ago or something, so this is in the early days of Screwdriver and we were like, yeah, a keyboard that everyone they like it a lot. keyboards, let's make a keyboard, we'll partner with someone or develop our own keyboard, we'll find a manufacturer, blah blah blah blah blah, and every conversation ended up being circular because we were wondering, do you know how? our keyboard would be different and the answer would be we don't have anything and let's go, but yeah, but there's all this demand for keyboards, people want keyboards, okay, okay, how is ours going to be different?

I don't know, okay then, but there's all this demand for you, right? And honestly, I like seeing some of the stuff that's coming out now, who's the one with that keyboard that has the full screen underneath the clear keys or whatever, that wild thing I saw on a previous stream, yeah , who does that again. I don't remember, it doesn't matter, the point is that I don't want to compete with that right and you can't differentiate yourself anymore just by having a high quality chassis and you know, open firmware or whatever, um, so I just don't see this happening .

I'm plugging in the front i or for those of you who are really tuning this for computer building, there's our front USB. I will be careful not to connect the front USB C incorrectly like xqc here we go this is a nice case hey and this is also putting together very well very easy. I haven't put any thought or effort into cable management, you can tell just by looking at it. It shouldn't say zero. I made sure my fans up here are connected in the right order so that your RGB effects work in the right order or whatever, but that's it, this is awesome, where's my power supply?

Oh, we have. He went with a rog4 Platinum two, oh what makes it Platinum too, complete with many new certifications, okay, let's improve this, why did we decide this? The recommendation for our GPU is a thousand watts, that's fine, although we tested a 40 90. Technically we will run on a 550 watt power supply. We did it. We're not going to take any chances today. It is Platinum rated. Particularly quiet zero-decibel RGB fan mode. Curious fact. It has an OLED screen which I promised at the beginning of the video. I was going to do the reasonable alternatives and then I completely forgot.

Great, Harrison, feel free to yell at me next time you notice I've completely forgotten to make the video. Yes, it is definitely necessary work. I'm here so our reasonable alternative for this anyway is the 850 watt Seasonic Prime Titanium for a full $60 cheaper and yes it will do pretty much the same thing but with less watts you know you turn down those four. Watts, I guess I'll talk about some of the basics of some of the things I glossed over earlier, so the cooler is the Lumen s 36 RGB fractal, it's packed with RGB, um, they're one of the few AIO companies that doesn't they use. acetec as OEM so it really has a lower price, I mean it's 200 dollars anyway, the alternative is the EK 280 millimeter by 125 drgb AIO.

Actually EK has an AIO for that bit, well we use the fractal. I'm going. Oh wow, it's funny how this case isultimate twitch player setup here. you have chat built into your case, wait Harrison how is this not part of the full screen PC? We have a better screen, oh yeah, oh, I guess I just blurted out the information. We are making a full screen PC. Every component must have a screen which was the only requirement for this build it's bad it's good it's not a bad idea but it's a dumb idea but you guys like it um why are there no bots here?

No? I did not do it. I practiced with Bots. I did it? I was wrong about something, okay, practice with Bots, dust too, hello, okay, chat, chat in case yes, yes, yes, okay, LTT, water bottle, you guys are very funny, it's expensive, oh yeah, it's definitely an expensive idea. There are no Bots, where am I? Where are my bots? Is there a command to generate Bots? I'm confused, you know what it doesn't really matter, my lunch is here and I'm sure everyone else is done with this too. Thank you very much for tuning in. In fact, I'm a little surprised at how long they stayed with us while I struggled to make this screen worth it, although it is worth it. 500 500 damn Hertz, don't miss the review tomorrow and I think that's it I offer it to you now, add, happy Tuesday, have a great rest of your week.

I will stand awkwardly or I will stand as you say, oh David.
