Absolutely everything went wrong - Intel $5,000 Extreme Tech Upgrade

[@diogo763]

I just love how logistics is this mystical force that keeps every bit of knowledge about office items, but they also just help with the most menial tasks

[@klaxoncow]

I mean, that is essentially what the word "logistics" means. The art of getting things to the right places, and getting things done. Or, more simply, "the pragmatic art of making things happen". So, like, you love them for basically doing what their job description demands of them. But, hey, that's a reason to love someone, I guess.

Its a great idea and free for LTT to do, and they can give Intel more worth of their sponsorship.

[@benfubbs2432]

No, these videos are not content they are advertisements for intel and intel won't pay for a follow up, especially if the follow up is that they swapped over to running an AMD cpu. Losing the revenue stream that running intel ads brings in is too risky for such a thing.

[@Alex-bi9mk]

@@benfubbs2432 who says they swap to AMD? Lol I personally prefer Intel because Ryzen has a well known heating issue and my colleagues who work in repair (I'm a programmer, I don't know a lot on hardware) all say they have more problems with amd than Intel... So it's performance vs endurance and the performance isn't even that far off

[@tehnative9779]

​@@benfubbs2432 Considering most of the people getting upgrades aren't that tech savy, I don't think anyone will swap out a MB and CPU. Also saying Intel will stop paying if one of his employees swapped a cpu is kinda dumb.

[@spankbuda5760]

How else would he and the other employees be treated? Should they have been treated like the Ellen Degeneres staff? And also, I thought that the entire premise of this Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade was to show case the new line of products that they have?

Being the most simple instructions ever is the point. I don't get it either. They have it down to a science at this point, as they should have after 70+ years of doing things this way. If there was a way to make them simpler - they would. But they've nailed the formula a long time ago. Then again, I only hear people say that jokingly. I never meet anyone who actually has a problem following them. It's like a meme or something. Had this been a real issue (people not understanding the instructions) they would have done something about it. Like their concept is to have simple instructions so you possibly can't mess anything up.

That monitor mount is really tricky as it may simply get loose as it is pressing against an angled surface. It only needs to move slightly to become completely loose very fast and then fall on the desk. You really need to add some angled piece of wood (or 3D print) and screw it to the desk so it cannot move. Then on that piece you should clamp the monitor arm. This will fail rather catastrophically very soon.

Did anyone else foresee that the Z170 would not work with the 9700k? I was sitting there wondering how Linus hadn't noticed that he was trying to install 9th gen in a 6th gen board. Side note, it should be entirely possible for those to work together if not for Intel unnecessarily changing their pinout for LGA 1151.

[@DerrickRG]

I'd be rocking a 9900k if not for that. Went with Ryzen instead.

[@Steamrick]

Intel probably changed pin layout because most of the older boards didn't have a power delivery capable of dealing with the likes of the 9900K. The 7700K had half the cores and close to half the power draw. Sure, enthusiast boards could handle it, but those aren't the ones Intel would have been worried about.

[@faranooshahmadzadagan8762]

Yeah I was waiting for that realization too 🙂 I've had that same board for years now and just recently upgraded to a 7700k I received for free.

[@Itz_Worm]

@@Steamrick Apparently its possible to flash a different bios on the z170 boards and get 8th/9th gen chips working. You also have to cover a couple pins with electrical tape or some kinda mask. But you're right about needing to watch what CPU you use and be sure the board is rated for it.e of

[@ericbauer4559]

Yeah first thing I noticed.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

19:35 "Why would you ever want to shine light to your monitor?" I agree with you 100% here Linus! With light setup like that, any small dust particle is going to make you insane. The box said "40 W" but the final result looks more like 6 W LED lights.

[@mihirmutalikdesai]

It's a 40W incandescent equivalent bulb.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@mihirmutalikdesai I would much prefer manufacturers just printed the lumen output in the box. This "N Watt equivalent" stuff has way too much leaway to make any sense to be used as a measurement unit.

It would be so great to get a "how is the home office looking now" episode where you would go to all these 5k setup update houses and see how well stuff still performs. Probably not sponsored by intel of course at that point, bust just saying. Seeing people's home office setups is actually very cool and addicting!

With Synology, you can upgrade to larger drives by replacing them one by one and resilvering every time. It will take about 1-2 days per drive. You can use it while it is doing the resilvering process, but with reduced performance.

[@gregneumarke9373]

True, as long as it was originally setup with the Synology Hybrid Raid, and not just RAID5 or 6. More importantly, there is no way that those NAS devices are staying on the desk like that. They are way too loud. Maybe put them in the garage.

[@ozgruntsyd4281]

It works with all RAIDs types. With RAID 5 and 6 you have to replace ALL the drives with new drives of equal size one at a time. Once done it will do another parity check and rebuild to the expanded size.

[@ozgruntsyd4281]

Also Greg, the desktop Synologys NAS's are not loud. They are very quiet. The computer in Brandon's setup would be way louder than the NAS.
