**The Setup: A Tale of Trial and Error**

Want your ruler? Um, drawer. Drawer? I don't think I'll fit. Okay, got them. That was the whole, that was the whole setup. Here we go. Don't stand right under it. You ready? Oh, no, no, I'm trusting it. I'm trusting it. Professional crew. I don't see you. All right. That's perfect. Big improvement. They do have calculators for this, but we're just gonna kinda, you know, figure it out. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It needs to be like right where the light is. Oh, my God. It needs to be like right where the light is. Oh, my God. It needs to be like right where the light is.

As we began our setup, it quickly became apparent that this task was not for the faint of heart. Every decision seemed to lead to a new challenge, and we found ourselves questioning whether we had made the right choice from the start. But with each obstacle overcome, our confidence grew, and we knew that we were on the path to success.

**The TV Installation: A Thrilling Adventure**

Is there anything else you need drilled? Yeah, I need my TV mounted. Is there anyone else you would like to do it this time? Yeah, you? Really? No. Because I... No. Yeah. No, you just gotta keep going. More? Yeah. Oh, cool. I have space for a plant now. Wait. Wait, hold on. I'm pretty sure that if a saw blade came flying out of that crack, it would cut my dick off. That's great.

As we continued our setup, the stakes were raised with each new task. The TV installation proved to be a thrilling adventure, filled with twists and turns that kept us on the edge of our seats. But despite the challenges, we persevered, determined to see our project through to the end.

**The Tech Side: A World of Complexity**

Windows 11 requires an internet connection for setup now, except it doesn't. You can press shift F10 and then type the command Ubi slash bypass NRO. And we shouldn't need it anymore. We should have the option next time to click. I don't have internet, which we do, except that we need drivers for our network interfaces that we can't install until we... You know, you don't have to use the biggest drill bite every single time, right? That's why I took it off. You just saw me take it off.

As we delved into the technical side of our setup, a world of complexity revealed itself. With each new challenge, our confidence grew, and we knew that we were up for the task. But despite our best efforts, it seemed that there was always something new to learn, something new to overcome.

**The Registry Hack: A Surprising Discovery**

Oh, that's right. I forgot. You're a top task bar guy. Okay. Explain. I had a Linux phase for a bit and there's that. There's the, just it's on top for max. If you don't factoring the doc and my, I realized my eyes were always looking up, like rather than at the bottom for notifications or not. So I just, yeah. And why would you adapt to your computer when your computer can adapt to you? Not anymore. That's the Linux mindset and it's not wrong.

As we explored the technical aspects of our setup, a surprising discovery was made. The registry hack, which had seemed like a daunting task at first, proved to be a game-changer. With this simple trick, we were able to customize our task bar to suit our needs, and our productivity soared.

**The Media Console: A Work of Art**

This is actually looking kind of awesome. I just got to get some of these cables up here. We're close enough to the media console that you don't really see the cables running down, even though we haven't properly done a conduit yet. I'm just going to tie these up so that you don't really notice them so much. Wait, does armor or crate really install WinRar? Oh, I forgot to unselect it. Sorry.

As we finished our setup, a sense of pride and accomplishment filled the air. The media console, which had initially seemed like a daunting task, proved to be a work of art. With each cable carefully placed and secured, our hard work came together in a beautiful display of technology and design.

**The AI Control: A New Frontier**

So you got, who controls building things like towers and defenses? So this is AI control. So your goal is basically to protect your base, unless there's a side quest or a side goal, sometimes capture the fly, you know. Got it. It's like you take command and conquer and bring it down to like, you're just like an infantry man.

As we explored the AI control feature of our setup, a new frontier opened up before us. With this advanced technology, we were able to create entire worlds and ecosystems, complete with their own unique challenges and opportunities. The possibilities seemed endless, and we knew that we had only just begun to scratch the surface of what was possible.

**The Conclusion: A New Beginning**

And so, our setup comes to an end. We have created a world of complexity and wonder, filled with twists and turns that will keep us on our toes for years to come. But as we stand back and admire our handiwork, we know that this is just the beginning. There are still challenges to be overcome, still obstacles to be surmounted. But with each new challenge comes a sense of excitement and anticipation, knowing that the possibilities are endless, and that anything can happen next.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enThese $5,000 AMD ultimate tech upgradeshave gotten a little out of hand lately.And I was assured that today,our editor and Memelord extraordinaire, Alex,is just getting a simple workstation upgradeto the fastest CPU money can buy,the Ryzen 9 7950 X3D.What is that?Trouble.I'm organizing this and this?I'm supposed to wall mount the TV?Two TVs?There's a projector and a ceiling mount?This is an unconventional component,but at least it might come in handy.It's electric.Oh, I guess that was the point of the upgrade.I'm the ultimate tech upgrade is back,which means another chance to win sick goodies from AMD.All you've got to do is head overto our Twitter, X, Twitter,to enter the giveaway for a chanceto win one of three AMD Ryzen 7800 X3D gaming processors.Thanks again to AMD for sponsoring this series.All right, nothing to do but get down to business then.Where do you want to start?In the bedroom?If you don't mind, I'm just going to...Oh, it's not bad for jumping.I've learned my lesson about that though.We're not going to do that.Can you not?Yeah, the point is my understandingis that the plan is the projector goes up hereand then you've got a screen over here,but there's a door.Yeah, it's retractable.A retractable screen.Oh, good, that'll be even easierto get in exactly the right spot.Perfect.How are you going to power any of this?I don't know yet.Okay, let's go get the screen.Screen first then.I hope you got a seismic mount for this thing.No, I'm going to die, it's fine.I couldn't help noticing it.That's a lot.The other problem is we can't just mount this to the wallbecause you have a door here.Yeah.So the doorframe is going to get in the way.We have to mount this to the ceiling.Yeah.So you've got about a foot of black spacebefore the screen itself has to start.That's good because that means that our projectorcan come down a bit and maybe clear that light.I really think we're just going to have to get ridof that lamp, but that's okay.Okay, crazy proposal, if you must watch TV in here,we take your second TV that you don't even have a plan forand we just mount it to the wall right there.No.All right then.Let's change gears and talk about the office.You've got your existing computer hereand you've got a new case, motherboard and CPU,but you don't appear to have enough hardwareto build a full second computer.So what exactly is it that you're doing here?I'm trying to build a new computer,but keep the same parts for the most part.So we're going 7950X3D with DDR5 memory in a new case,but with otherwise the same guts.Most of them, yeah.Okay.This I feel good about, this is going to be no problem.We found them guys, the one person other than me,who's dumb enough to use one of these M.2 carrier cards.Are you actually booting off this thing?I'm not booting off of it,but you know what the problem is with that?I don't have enough lanes.So only two SSDs that are in it actually work.Wait, and it has how many in it?Four.You're missing so many screws.We can't talk about that.Oh, okay.Man, I can't tell I haven't washed this in a year.A year?It was on a carpet.This is not that bad.I mean, yeah.For a year when you had like a rabbit and yeah.You have a rabbit?Or had, no.What's wrong with all these people out therewho are working on Noctua coolerswithout even a Noctua edition screwdriver.Sign up for a notification, lttstore.com.Coming very soon.Buy a regular one.Well, why do you have an HBA in here?I had too many, is it connected right now?No, it's not connected to anything.That's not true.This is broken.Oh, cool.Wait, there's more SSDs.Yes, I'm loaded.Why do you need so much solid state storage?What the hell?Why do you need 24 terabytes of SSD storage?Why not?No, that's not the question.The question is why?I just have no reason.Is this the main drive?Good question.They weren't in a RAID configuration up until recentlyand it broke.So yeah, one of them is the main drive.I hate this.No, you don't.Yes, I do.I hate this.You love to suffer its content.My understanding so that you can use all 16 of these lanesand all four of these drives is that you want to put thisin your primary PCIe slot, but you have a problem.You don't have a graphics adapter.This CPU has no onboard GPU.So you can't use these ports here.I can't run it at least.You may not be able to complete booting.You'll have to put a GPU in it at least once.Yeah, to get your OS installed and everything set upand maybe to configure the BIOS to say to ignore that error.And then after that, it might work.Yeah, your next problem is that your HBA,which you use to connect to all of your unnecessarytwo and a half inch solid state drives,is a 4X card.That means that it either needs to go in the bottom slot,which you will need if you ever wanted to put a GPU in hereor it needs to go in your other 16X slot,which will automatically split your primary oneinto eight and eight.So then this won't get all 16 lanesand you won't be able to run all your SSDs.Okay.So I will put it in the bottom.Oh, actually, you know, I guess that's okay.Okay, yeah, I'll put this in the bottom slot.How did you do this?I'm trying to get the cables out of here and you've-You mean not pull through?You've managed to run two cables through the one cable.And I wouldn't need to pull on it if you didn't do this.I don't know.How did you manage to run?I don't know.I'm gonna have to completely disconnect everythingin this computer to get your power supply cables out.They're hooked.The good news is the cavalry's here.We've got Colin and Elijah who are gonna be helping uswith the projector screen mount.Okay, what happened to the ones that are a complete circle?I also got those ones.You also got those.I bought those ones and then Colin-Whatever, it's just AMD's money anyway, right?Exactly, it works.Actually, I think he spent all the budget,so I think it's my money now, but sure.I didn't spend all the budget.I have like $400 left.I don't know.I see a lot of stuff here.I assume you want the screen centered to the bed?Yeah, if it makes sense.Trust the process.No.Bye.I don't.Help.It's broken.Certified, not a stud.Oh boy, you guys say there's a problem.I walk in, there's a hole in the ceiling.Is that related to the problem?Yes.If you take this stud finder and go right beside it,it'll say that a stud is right between that hole,but there ain't no stud there, homie.Oh, well it's a metal stud.That's your problem.Yeah, that's what I then found out.Okay.Wait, you put two holes in the ceiling?Yeah, because I was like, oh, I'll try the other one.See if I was just wrong on this one and I'm wrong on both.It's a good thing they're small holes.It's a good thing it's an auto-textured seal.Yeah, that is an actual good thing.It's a good thing you've got a lot of paint touch-upsto do already.We could use the gigantic pilot hole that we drilledto throw a toggler in there,and then we could just hang this off of the metal stud.Yeah.Okay.Possibly.As long as we have some, oh.I already looked at that option.These are what's supposed to go in it,and they're not even like close.I see.Yeah.Oh God, another piece broke off this HBA.Okay, be careful.Well, I did.I didn't mean to.I really, really, sincerely hope that.No, no, that's a good noise.What's in it?Is it just a cable?Is it broken?Hold on, no, no, everything's fine.Yeah?Yeah, everything's good.I just need to, hey, there you go.It's like, you know, when your car turns on,it's like, that's how you know it's working.Hey!We've got the AMD RAID detected.So that means that the SSD card.Okay, now I just need the other three SATA SSDs to pick up.Sick!The last thing I need to figure out thenis why the SATA drives are not showing up.Cool.Because the HBA's broken.Is it just because the HBA's broken?It might just be.Hey, you know what?This board has enough SATA portsthat I can just plug into thereand we'll take the HBA out.That's what I was saying the whole time.Okay.Attempt number the third.Here we go.Hey, let's go.All right, we're good.Yeah.Your drives are all detected.Except the two ones.Except the two that we know could be detectedif I pulled out the GPU.All right, this system is done.I'm going to close it upand then we can focus on that oneand the TV mount and the projectorand the projector mount.The range actually is part of the upgrade,but it was installed by a professional.No, it was installed by me.Oh.I'm a professional.I couldn't help noticing you have a lot of bananasfor scale from the store.Yeah.Why are they all pink?I asked for, like I asked for sixand I don't think they caught onthat I wanted all the colors.Oh, I see.Yeah.So now I just have a bowl of pink bananaswith one that has white stuff on the tip.Before I get too far ahead of myself installing the cooler,I should probably install the CPU.Naturally, as a baller with more SSDs than since,Alex has gone with the 7950 X3D.This was necessary for all of the nineties games, I guess?Yes.Got all that 3D V-cache to run at the highest FPS,the lowest latency, like 1200 frames per second.Playing 90 games, playing nineties games.I'm a speed runner.You get it?Speed runner.Hey, this is going smoothly.Oh, that's a little dirty.There, I fixed it.Oh, oh, that's awful.Oh.I lived in a place with asbestos.I think I just inhaled half of your old rabbit.But hey, the system's almost done.All I gotta do is wire up SATA and power for that.Get another SSD.In the bottom of the case, throw the GPU inand I think we're good to boot this thing up.Holy schnikes.I got so distracted plugging in SSDsthat I forgot to check in with you.You guys have done nothing.Well, yeah, because you said you wanted to see the ideabefore we did it.We got the hook here that will use our existing hole.So we just need to drill three more.And then we picked up like hooksthat can go into this clip on and clip onto this.Okay.So then it'll actually be cleanerbecause it'll be easier to take down if he wants to just.Okay, oh yeah.Just like a standard carabiner then.Yeah.You know what?That's actually not that janky.Yeah, it looks a lot nicer.Okay.Yeah, cause it's got a foot of extra at the top anyway.So if you just pull it down a bit extra.Yeah, I think so.Okay.Hey, great job guys.Yeah, the guy at Home Depot said to do this one too.I don't believe you.Whoa, you put the side panel on?I put the side panels on before we tested the PC.Where do you want it Alex?Beneath.You want it on the bottom?Yeah, probably next to UPS right there.Sure.Don't drop it in my head.I'm not gonna drop it on your head.Yeah, sure here.I'll just run it around.No, no, no, it's not long enough.Here, just.Dude, it's not long enough.Stop.Hold on.Why you do that?Okay, sorry.Are you coming up?If you want it to work for not a giant troll,I'm sure there's plenty of other employers out there.Oh crap, that doesn't seem like it's working, does it?Buddy, come on.Wait, oh, the fan's just spun down.Hold on.I think we're gonna, I think we got this.Come on.Keyboard.Yeah, first try.Let's go.Oh wow, your cat did a number on this.Yep.Unless that was you.I mean.Look at that.I mean.All the RAM.So three SEDA, yeah, that's right.And then two M.2, right?No, it's almost like the other setup.Okay, we're good then.Yeah.I don't know if we're gonna get6,400 mega transfers per second.That is really fast for an AMD CPU, but we're gonna try.Feel like it's time for a check-in with these guys,but I'm afraid to open this door.Oh, and I can't.You're missing a screw.Yeah, because there's a stud in that one spot.Oh, there's a stud there.Yeah, I couldn't get through it with the drill.Ah, brilliant.I tried pushing real tough.He pushed real tough.This one, I'm also hitting a stud here in this spot,and these ones aren't fully grabbingwhen they go all the way through.I see.So I'm trying to back them off a little bitto try to push them up moreto see if it'll actually catch.It's not very straight.It's fine, you're looking at the movie, not the hooks.This was working.Then I tried to run the memory at 6,400,which kind of knew it wasn't gonna work.Okay, BIOS reset.That's okay, we kind of knew that was gonna happen.Oh, nice choice of board.You've got a clear CMOS buttonright on the back of the board.Love it.Now, where do you want your ruler?Um, drawer.Drawer?I don't think I'll fit.Okay, got them.That was the whole, that was the whole setup.Here we go.Don't stand right under it.You ready?Oh, no, no, I'm trusting it.I'm trusting it.Professional crew.I don't see you.All right.That's perfect.Big improvement.They do have calculators for this,but we're just gonna kinda, you know, figure it out.Oh, my God.Oh, my God.It needs to be like right where the light is.Oh, my God.It needs to be like right where the light is.Oh, my God.It needs to be like right where the light is.I don't think we could have done this any worseif we had actually tried.Yeah, I'm sorry.I think this really is not a today thingbecause it goes right there.Is there anything else you need drilled?Yeah, I need my TV mounted.Is there anyone else you would like to do it this time?Yeah, you?Really?No.Because I...No.Yeah.No, you just gotta keep going.More?Yeah.Oh, cool.I have space for a plant now.Yeah.Oh, wait.Wait, hold on.I'm pretty sure that if a saw blade came flyingout of that crack, it would cut my dick off.That's great.Here's a tech tip for you guys.Windows 11 requires an internet connection for setup now,except it doesn't.You can press shift F 10 and then type the commandUbi slash bypass NRO.And we shouldn't need it anymore.We should have the option next time to click.I don't have internet, which we do,except that we need drivers for our network interfacesthat we can't install until we...You know, you don't have to use the biggest drill bitevery single time, right?That's why I took it off.You just saw me take it off.I saw you holding it.I saw you thinking about it.I use that one for the ceiling holes.Yes, I saw that.Are you a left starting a new guy?I already moved it over there.Yeah.But there's this like registry hack apparentlyto get it back on top, like in windows 10 and before.Oh, that's right.I forgot.You're a top task bar guy.Okay.Okay.Yeah.Explain.I had a Linux phase for a bit and there's that.There's the, just it's on top for max.If you don't factoring the doc and my,I realized my eyes were always looking up,like rather than at the bottom for notifications or not.So I just, yeah.And why would you adapt to your computerwhen your computer can adapt to you?Not anymore.That's the Linux mindset and it's not wrong.Okay.Let's get this, let's get this media consolelooking fly if we can.I am so excited to plug these things in.We're going to have this so powered Alex.Okay.This is actually looking kind of awesome.I just got to get some of these cables up here.We're close enough to the media console that you don'treally see the cables running down,even though we haven't properly done a conduit yet.I'm just going to tie these up so that you don't reallynotice them so much.Wait, does armor or crate really install WinRar?Oh, I forgot to unselect it.Sorry.Yeah.Sorry.I just wanted the drivers.Are you a WinRar?I'm a WinRar.Are you a big winner?Well, sorry, you're the proud owner of a WinRar trial now.A permanent trial.That's a lot of CPU cores doing nothing.2% usage.Yep.Cool.Oh, I never updated you guys.For memory, we settled in at I think 5,400 megahertz.With some tuning, we can definitely push it higher,but I wanted something that was, well, fast.Set it to a safe setting.Wow, this looks great.Great.So you got, who controls building things like towersand defenses?So this is AI control.So your goal is basically to protect your base,unless there's a side quest or a side goal,sometimes capture the fly, you know.Got it.It's like you take command and conquer and bring it downto like, you're just like an infantry man.Cool.Yeah.But there's no player who actually playsthe RTS component.Not in this version.Got it.Kind of cool.Yeah.Maybe give it a shot guys.And maybe give a shot to checking outsome of our other AMD ultimate tech upgrade videos.The premise is simple.$5,000, you can get anything you wantand it is amazing how much you find out about someone.\n"
