Building an Upside Down Gaming PC

[@KAMLOTTON]

I just love those super long streams of Linus building computers and talking about random stuff, keep them up guys!

[@YouHaventSeenMeRight]

I spent last Saturday moving my current Ryzen 7 3800X system from my old Cooler Master Stacker 830 case to a new Bequiet Dark Base 900 Pro Rev 2 and that took me about 8 hours plus (not including breaks to keep my sanity) and I had to redo some stuff because I messed up some small things for another two hours two days later. So props to Linus to only need four hours to build a new system with a total case reconfiguration.

[@VULCA_TL]

Finally a Australian certified gaming PC, thanks Linus!

[@zekromisblack]

as a australian i can confirm we have certified this

[@agenericaccount3935]

Skippy approved 🦘

[@ShowXTech]

For your Smoke Tests i would recommend using a CO² effect fluid, like for this maschine its called "ADJ Fog Juice CO2", it produces a very thick and dense fog but quickly dissolves, so you get a good viewable effect and don't create a foggy room. Maybe you machine could use some cleaning with smoke maschine cleaner or destilled water. (don't use alcohol or venigar)

[@trapical]

Captain America walks out and sets his foot on a chair: "so you decided to build in a Lian Li case..."

[@MarxAthium]

Fantastic Airflow, loved the Stream, haven't caught many live streams from you guys!

[@gmdking]

first you are

[@jacobs8718]

A line lazer within the case could be used to make a "lazer sheet" that shows the the airflow within the case.

[@patton3338]

I recently warrantee'd a Lian Li Galahad 360 Watercooler. Got the replacement in 2 weeks. The support was nothing flashy, an online form followed by text only emails. To their credit tho, the support team was helpful and approved a replacement with little hassle. I didnt get tracking info or any other details, but it did arrive in less time than the 3-4 weeks I expected. Far better than my last experience.

[@mkoldewijn]

Loved the stream, especially because it was something very few people will even see let alone build! Thanks very much

[@jamesmiddleton4741]

For those looking for the backpack update that was mentioned at wanshow it's at 4:06:04

[@ethanshenfeld8141]

Thank ye kind hero

[@maxschachinger]

Thank you!!

[@agenericaccount3935]

Made it to the bag. I carry an MBP, HP Spectre, and an iPad Pro (for work). And my lunch. And a snack. And some tools. I will definitely be one of the founding buyers. This looks great. Man you get Hangry.

[@HoodedMushroom]

Always setup task manager to be always on top, so in case something crash and wont let you see other windows, task manager will force its way up no matter what.

[@unicornbbq]

Linus: Builds a cuttng-edge, top of the line machine for laughs. Most of us: "I might be able to afford one of today's best video card at the five years down the road price point."

[@coreycrossman3447]

Lol most people arn't that poor at least not in north america

[@kingkong-my5po]

What a dream build Linus, this really gets me inspired, Thanks so much.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

I'd like ltt to build a server rack pc that contains every console internals and all linked to a main control power panel to switch console

[@A.Martin]

For bottom intake fans, I've never had to clean the bottom intake even though my pc is on the carpet, however the front intake always clogs and has to be cleaned. the front intake sucks floating dust from the air, but floating dust has a hard trouble getting under the pc, now If I put the pc on a hard surface like a wooden floor then maybe the bottom intake might get more dust.

[@omulamfibie]

As opposed to keeping it on the carpet, where it gets no air intake. This comment made me laugh a bit. If you're going with bottom intake, you need a hardwood floor or keeping it on a desk. Carpet is just going to kill all or most of your airflow... Unless you have like at least 5 inch feet on your case.

[@A.Martin]

@@omulamfibie I get enough air, its not like the carpet is so long it reaches the fan grill, still like a half inch or so over the carpet. the front fans are more choked than the bottom.

[@RealThore]

The Jay punt at 1:25:35 killed me so hard

[@slymechanic7823]

Hey linus, I just wanted to thank you for inspiring and helping me build my new pc, you really make it easier for me to build the pc!

[@guardian1102]

2:40:00 I knew the vertical GPU mount was janky from seeing GN's review of it but seeing Linus's first impression was just as entertaining as expected.

[@pandoras5347]

The indoor hoodie seems like a Florida Hoodie

[@digital.olimon]

perfect case for a 2nd pc build, especailly when you have the OG dynamic

[@TrabPuKcip]

This was a great stream, really enjoyed watching you build that computer!

[@tookuh]

Thanks, us Aussies are glad you made a pc the right way

[@hillboy2001]

Just set the pc on the table up side done. Boom done!

[@Flabbycakes]

I need that backpack in my life right now! I will be ordering one with the water bottle and then the screwdriver THE moment that they come out for sale.

[@zachmighty2754]

I was so bored in high school. Wasn't challenged at all, I slept in class and the teachers didn't care as I still did very well grade wise. My senior year was Calculus, Physics, advanced government, Spanish 4, AP English (I went to a small school we had very few AP classes), Statistics, Adobe Flash CS6 and then study hall.

[@XxDrac13xX]

I definitely agree with manufacturers using the same threaded MB screws. Trying to find custom anodized #6-32 pan head screws has been a nightmare. I finally found a place that sells custom colored screws for pinball machines and I can use M4 countersunk washers for a nice two-tone look for my build theme.

[@asingh53]

I saw the review for this case and it still astounds me how much you can do with it.

[@wolffcaleb1]

I'm here for the long content. Thanks LTT!

[@tortrac958]

That was a long 4 hours, but there was definitely some funny moments within it, absolutely loved the stream

[@angepano8591]

So much fun watching Linus do this after watching Steve and Paul run through the features. But they didn't do a build so watching Linus discover things was fun.

[@delquandrecolter3477]

Ha😂

[@Helveteshit]

Should go together with Steinel and combine Ratchet with Newton screwdriver for that perfect mounting pressure goodness for CPU etc.

[@philb5593]

I thought this was going to be Linus hanging upside down like Spider-Man and building a PC. Free idea; you should do it.

[@siic]

That's actually a fantastic idea if this could be handled safely.

[@rtyler1869]

Love the I told you So about the AIO install

[@SparkRattle]

Dang it, I'd be damned if I don't get that screwdriver. It's absolutely nifty!

[@brunohideo]

3:04:11 “I’m a chicken guy” - Linus, 2021

[@littleTownGiant1]

So, I have a build planned in the next few months using this case in the white variant... I just now finally placed an order for the LTT screwdriver, and every additional bit set

[@littleTownGiant1]

Just an update.... I'm gonna be using the "sonic" asrock z790 board, a core i9-12900k, 32 gb of 5600 mhz vengeance rgb ddr5, a 2tb m.2 nvme pcie 4 crucial ssd, nzxt kraken z73 aio, evga supernova 1000gt psu, Peladn RTX 3070, with Thermaltake pure 12 argb fans

[@pieinaapplegaming]

One of my absolute favorites!! Love from Australia :)

[@robgigabyte580]

Thermal dynamics, motherboard parallel to the ground Add on cards vertical and proper cooling. The plane old desktop styled cases were more efficient at managing heat from the chipsets and cpu's. Look at your data centers and U1 U2 U3 servers how they are designed. Jus sayin.

[@techboy95]

3:20:00 I've been using various Fitbits for the past 4 or 5 years and it's pretty great honestly. It's awesome for fitness as well as sleep and health tracking. All of the new ones are also IP68 up to 50 meters and the battery is between 4-8 days depending on the model. The sleep tracking is one of the main reasons i use it

[@omegonchris]

@@dakoderii4221 the only version of that story I've heard was Strava, not Fitbit.

[@nubsandbolts920]

I've been binging your channel for the last month as I built my dreamachine(with the 1 hand i have, i knew u could do it linus XD). Ryzen 7 5800x, Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti, MSI x570 Gaming +, the works, all in a Lianli O11D Evo. 9 Fans including AIO. I love this monster case being able to swap it around and upgrade. Very content upgrading from a dell 7559 as you could imagine. Getting all of the OC'd LG 34''GP83A-B. Keep it up Linus league!

[@yoyobah1862]

A nice long enjoyable pc build, sound you put some orange on the outside, maybe zipper pulls?and if you're going to do double fabric on the bottom a thin piece of yoga mat material would be nice.

[@auroraflash]

Go backwards into the bottom PCIE slot from behind the motherboard. Yes, suggesting to run PCIE 4.0 GPU via PCH to make upright GPU look cool 😎

[@ZOMBIESK8TBOARD]

First time I've evef been excited for a backpack

[@Saber805]

4 hours to flip a motherboard upside down, amazing content!

[@pixelpusher3589]

another build video..... wow how exciting

[@shreevatsapu6611]

FINALLY A PC Build guide an Australian can understand

[@RedRingOfDead]

4 hours and 26 minutes. This was definitely worth the watch ☺️

[@AB-80X]

These are cool. Just ordered this case for wifeys new high performance build. God the painter who is doing the paint is going to hate it lol.

[@00kidney]

This was just awesome, I'm starting to buy the parts for my next build and maybe I'm going to make it upside down 😆

[@eiliajamali6184]

hahahahahaha

[@DeliriumXM]

@@eiliajamali6184 ayyyyoo its kanye east wasssssss uppoppppp ZAMN😍

[@RcDelinquents]

Confirmed that your Z690 Hero boards are catching fire. Check the mosfet above the 4th ram slot. Some have been installed backwards. White line should be on the right, not the left.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

3:57:00 You're literally describing the problem called "buffer bloat" which is caused by too much buffering in your WiFi-router. Reconfigure or replace the WiFi access point and you're fine. Some manufacturers use buffers worth of full second so you can have latency spikes over 1000 ms! A well configured access point should have about 1-3 ms higher ping with full bandwidth load but it might require running something like Linux with fq_codel or cake for real AQM/SQM (Active Queue Management/ The bigger problem with WiFi/WLAN is that it's a shared medium. It's not uncommon to see tens of networks if you live in an apartment building and the more networks there are using the same shared radio medium, the slower it gets for everybody.

[@ZarakiKempachi91]

I want the front glass decorated with the meme from Top Gun "Because i was Inverted" ... NOW!! XDXDXD

[@Beary98]

NEED to do a vertical mount case. Only cheap off-ish brand ones now but they ROCK. Segotep makes some. I The Vertically hung graphics card is a game changer. No gpu sag either way and awesome airflow, even better than seen here.. accessible ports behind a clean looking panel on TOP of the pc, not on the back.

[@blank8941]

Can’t remember if it was Jay but someone showed off with a longer pcie cable going round the back of the motherboard and into the bottom slot for full stealth. Looked awesome.

[@NoProHarrie]

The nap comversation Linus does is what I subscribed for

[@Breeffeehey]

Oki, watching this at work, and it's closing to lunch time... and I was discussing going to Mucho Burrito... 5 minutes later, Linus say "Could we do a Mucho run?" Plus his love for Final Fantasy VI... I think we're twins from each side of the country... (and a few years appart...) 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@xmusjackson7058]

I like the message idea. Do whatever you can to take youtubes cut.

[@poppinYT]

“Be honest who else is a few hours late” 😂

[@spartacus778]

How the fuck are you verified

[@anarchy205]

Recommend a high mass smoke machine for that - the one you are using is a bit weedy.

[@ItsDSG]

all black mousepad pls 🔥 Aslo hyped for screwdriver and backpack :D

[@oswinoswald131]

The one time a smoking computer isn't a bad thing

[@davehumphries]

Love the LTT livestreams.

[@michallv]

Are you gonna film a similiar showcase of the backpack as a standalone video? That alone sold me on it

[@mrigtp0529]

The 6s was my first iPhone and I loved the 3D touch and stuff but now I have a SE (2020) which is the best of the 6 style design with the power and some features of the 11s. I used the 6s until I felt it was getting too close to the iOS update drop off.

[@nickNcar]

Doubt this comment will be seen but if it is for the backpack they should add a small slot with a small zipper on the back of the bag (the side of the bag that is against your back) make it just large enough for a passport and maybe a wallet. I had a bag that bad a pocket like that and it was awesome to have it back there and extremely protected. Just large enough for a passport and I could stuff my small wallet in there also. 10/10 Edit: they have this. AWESOME BAG!

[@geekcitizenx]

The backpack should have a pocket for an ifixit kit!

[@harveysingh8625]

Bigup Linus, huge respect helping businesses during hard times…💕😊🙏🏼

[@IbrahimHyderiGoth]

nice building up and down

[@leonkernan]

As an Australian, all your builds are upside down to me.

[@MisstaMan]

I'm new to the channel through a new college. I saw your "how to build a PC" video ystd, now I am 2.5mins in this one and laughing my a off :D holding that motherboard like its a piece of a loaf, throwing it on the desk the 2nd time :D :D bit of a contrast between the 2 videos of how to handle these things :D I'm not new to building PC's though, so all good, but still really funny :D

[@DctrGizmo]

I had to check out how the build ended up like since I had to leave near the end. This was a great stream!

[@NoobSpartanGamer]

"Back in the DDR3 days.." I'm still using a DDR3 system, it's a 32GB kit tho. =(

[@rustyletsplays3848]

Story time with kings would be pretty great

[@NateC556]

I'd be cautious with the smoke machine. Most fluids use a vegetable glycol that can leave a residue on the components.

[@Turskaify]

You should do an "upside down" build with those upside down mirror goggles.

[@Phoebus20]

Wait, didn't Linus announce on a WAN show a few weeks ago that they had a stealth desk pad coming? I can even picture the sample he showed in the my head. Am I going nuts?

[@azimalif266]

To do smoke test, use the Fan showdown type smoke from the channel Major hardware. That looks less transparent.

[@alanhilder1883]

The statement of will torck under wet concrete... 3 1/2 hours in Jake managed to shut Linus up... ;-)

[@rtyler1869]

As someone who was building in the late 90’s and early naughties the idea of not cable managing makes me cringe. I twisted IO cables, tied IDE together and made it as neat as possible

[@walterday8933]

Great build, but hideous riser cable (IMO)! Lian Li should've engineered a better solution for the ribbon cable, and maybe build and test a round cable???

[@191.]

I can hear Jake smashing the keyboard every time he talks and it's driving me crazy.

[@ciaranclare848]

OK hear me out.... video idea, " Actually building a video upside down" , then get links to wear a harness and suspend him over a desk with a computer and see if he can build one actually upside down. Interest concept given gravity exists, and he'd probably start getting light headed if he takes too long.

[@andresbravo2003]

You want to be a clothing brand and be "main stream" you will need to have A: Regional stores/pricing B: actually reasonable shipping cost C: continue to move to more subtle branding. Also Wiliams is snap-ons OEM not megapro

[@moortu]

@Linus Tech Tips I thought there was a trick to EU import costs. you sell the product for 1 dollar, but you make the shipping costs higher like: 1x shirt : 1 dollar Shipping : 33 dollars Shipping isn't subject to import tariffs. You have to check if this is correct though

[@RobotMowerTricks]

I love how Linus doesn't want his fans and customers to waste their money. 💯 % behind that business model. I will buy the screwdriver and probably put Milwaukee short tips because I like a very blunt Philips tip.

[@Nickerian91]

Just waiting for youtubes warning to linus which he have been asking for for quite a while now. Using youtube to earn money and while he does so he keep telling the users to not use the functionality of youtube because youtube earn money if they do (because he want the full amount of what the users pay) Whatever he use the superchat or not doesnt matter what matters is that he is telling people on the platform to not use the service with the main goal to make economical damage to the company. Would easily result in a perm ban if he wasent as popular as he is.

[@supernova874]

Yeah and brands like CORSAIR you mention , when you contact them with faulty Ram (that i bought abuout 2005 and around 200EURO) and after 4 years of purchase ,they ask for the purchase invoice or a last six months invoice for anything from their Brand (like i change every now and then ram ) the result from me what to "Blacklist" corsair as a company and i haid my own pc store until 2016 (from 2003) and compare to that Kingston i have send them the serial numbers of about 20 Ram modules i have collected from early days in work and they replace them with the newest available ram without ask for anything else than if i agree with replacing my DDR 333-400 Dimms i have with ddr2-800MHz , thats was the moment Kingston renew my trust to their brand.

[@Entropy1234]

We want to see a VR backpack PC!

[@johnk5148]

Linus I almost threw this case off my balcony I mean literally my wife stopped me this case is a total cluster F. Thank you for making this video so I can complete my build.

[@MrHaydenJr]

After flipping the motherboard tray in the case, couldn't you have flipped the case, and built it "right side up" according to instructions?

[@merlin-ju6fu]

The best case with many options leads to an over 4 hour build with complications. :)

[@techdrummer]

Just build the dang thing...I'm taking a nap...wake me up after you decide to plug power into the components and let us see it post/boot. Afterwards we'll all find what our kids grew up to be (and maybe our grandkids names) while we were away watching this stream. ...other than that, enjoyed the video lol. Meanwhile Jay has built Post Malone a LAN center...
