To be fair that desk as a whole was nothing to write home about, they didn't even show any Glamour Shots of the finished thing. Seems like it got rushed out for content, or just to get it off their filming list.
This comment made me keep watching. I hate the custom waterblock but if you put a mat over it I think I'd like this thing. I'm tempted to see if I can DIY something like this to hide my PC
@@superkillrobot Yeah look at revised title they change after upload to be more relevant after algorithm wants the clickbait title. There will be a final part where they finish out the project, if anything this wasn't to get it off their list but keep the project active on the channel.
I love how in some videos Linus says "Ridge wallet is trying to redefine the traditional wallet" and in others he says "Ridge wallet HAS redefined the traditional wallet" . The duality of man
If you watch the WAN Show before some weeks, he acknowledged this fact that "they have done it ladies and gentlemen" since the script was indeed changed by Ridge themselves.
Ridgewallet is great if you don't use Cash or so. As soon as you livin' in a Country which doesn't has one Buck Bills but gives you coins for it - It's questionable.
Could've just made a nice dock for a laptop with a 3080 mobile neatly integrated into the table with maybe ducts for the rear and bottom vents so that it isn't as loud or something like that
Honestly, it feels like they threw in the towel on this build because of how severely outclassed they were on this build. DIYPerks PC builds have out done everything LTT has built in the past year, and honestly a lot of other channels as well, and they do it without reusing the same dusty old parts in each video.
@@Yurch890 Professionals at manufacturing? They have some of the most expensive tools on the market and they don't even use them. I'm guessing they were planning to do something similar to Hacksmith but they got bored and gave up.
"The goal was to give up absolutely nothing in terms of performance." Wasted opportunity to say: "The goal was to leave absolutely no performance on the table."
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 In all fairness, most workloads cannot appreciate the raw pwer of current gen top end hardware hardware. The software hasn't caught up
5:52 PRO TIP @ LINUS: If you have a leak that you can't see or hear, get some soapy water, and rub some of it over areas that are suspected areas for the leak. If air comes out of a particular area with the soapy solution over it, it will create bubbles, showing you where the leak is. Learned this from fixing car tires XD
DIY Perks doesn't need Linus half-assing his builds lol. Maybe they can hire Matt to properly finish their builds when Linus has to go film WAN Show lol.
Tip: use a little bit of water and soap on the tubing joints while pressurizing it with air and look for bubbles. Fastest way to find leaks and avoid a mess
Add the cost of labour it took to build that thing, and it might just be the most expensive piece of furniture they have in the office - just for hiis writers knees
I get the reason for the lights due to ballast/controller buzz - but that's on level with turning the radio down when you're trying to find a location.
7:07 Make sure you use a brad nailer in a perpendicular orientation to your rails. This will help compensate for a potential blowout. The head of the nail is more likely to deflect perpendicular from the orientation of the magazine (left/right when holding the nailer upright.) But when using MDF, this isn't a huge concern.
@linus To find air leaks, use a 4ft hose with one end up to your ear and the other about a quarter inch over the search for a leak area. The air leak echoes and amplifies up the hose when you are near the source.
Right? The level of effort Matt puts into actually completing a build is amazing. Could you imagine him leaving a build 80% done and saying "Right, well now I have to film something else, hope you enjoyed this video."
Or just a stock limitation, given how overkill a 3070 already is for the work Linus does? They probably needed all the 3080s and such for projects that actually needed that kind of performance
Autistic caveman: "The 'case' is garbage because the airflow is not adequate enough which causes a 2 degree difference thus making the whole thing useless" Also Autistic caveman: "Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go pester NZXT and Dell about crap no one cares about but us. You can watch our 24 minute long upload about it, it will be the one with the pretend mad eyes thumbnail."
Also the DIY perks project is also a guide for you to build a similar one if you want to. LTT videos have transitioned to mostly just “watch us do cool shit” kind of videos not many “tips” to be found here
Just a note for the analytic side of LMG. Thumbnail barely saved this video for me. I have been waiting for desk PC update and almost missed it because title is too vague and thumbnail kinda hard to distinguish. Didn't really sell this highly desired content
I mean it wasn't even a great conclusion. They once again rushed through a fun project so that Linus can go film something else. It doesn't seem like a video they were very proud of, and rightfully so.
@@superkillrobot I agree, there's nothing fundamentally new about another desk PC. So why multiple episodes were dedicated I have no idea, it's pretty boring.
Looks crap but at least they covered with that pad, but that pad also looks like crap, so i hope they can work remotely so they don't have to look at it
@@xXDarthBagginsXx you know what, I stupidly hadn’t considered that. Makes complete sense now. I wonder if the 3070 Ti is the same profile or is that already 3080 size? Either way, fair point well made.
@@HamerReviews Same reason you wouldn't put in a 3090, he wouldn't use this for gaming barely any of the time, and that a 3080 would dump more heat into the system when they weren't sure how good the cooling performance would be.
Apply a small amount of water and soap to the tube joints while applying air pressure and looking for bubbles, which actually is quite significant. The quickest approach to actually locate leaks and literally avoid a proble, or so they kind of thought.
@@Gaetano.94 Sure, if you decide to look at it that way. But still, it would be like hiring 2 full time prostitutes and being their pimp; not the average hiring xD
In fluid dynamics class, i was taught it is much better to suck than push air. Pushing air goes a very very short distance, whereas one can suck a very long distance.
@@coolcat23 100% agree. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Desk should've been donated to a local fan for pick up with a signature if they wanted one. Dude needs to eat some humble pie!
Things I'd do differently if I was going to try this: 1) Soft front edge for the desktop. 2) Under-desk cutout for the user's legs (machine would be built into the rest of it, and thickness wouldn't matter that much). 3) Monitor(s) attached to a monitor arm rather than resting on the desktop, which enables the last feature - 4) The desktop is hinged and can tilt up for easy access to the internal components (kind of like a car hood).
I'm surprised he didn't just sell the desk, they would probably make more money than what they put into it from the fans. But it is the proper sent off
the desk part looked like garbage and so does the new one. From the top it looks great and the PC build inside is awesome but LTT is not a furniture maker
A better segue than "and its gonna be sponsored" is "you know what else is going to take a while to put together? The segue to our sponsor! Ridge wallet..."
what r u running on bro like sure threadrippers and 3070 is good but 100000 lets say laptop 2060 maxq (s) can match up (lol taking a joke literally is cringe ik)
It’s awful. I bought one. It’s super uncomfortable, and it scratched the shit outta my cards and honestly is super inconvenient. It’s the equivalent of just having 2 rubber bands around your cards. It’s bad
I havent had an issue with it and have used for over a year and a half. I didnt pay for it but if something happened to this one i would buy one myself. Havent had a card scratching issue but it isnt all to smooth to slide in the cards the girst few days. Once broken into its very comfortable and the size even with the clip or strap is just great. I hold 10 cards but i believe it can hold 15 at which point it might end up feeling awkward
This should work, the air will heat up when compressed, though the difference may be minimal by the time it's caught on camera. For maximum style points, however, Schlieren imaging should be used instead.
@@Llohr ngl this is the first time I heard of this very interesting concept, but doesn't seem quite practical to have your $3k components hanging in front of a mirror to find a air leak. They were already freaking out moving it between tables.
i think linus means like no compromises for that hardware, like usually a thin desk pc has to have a crazy low profile water cooler that might even be specially made, or a power supply that was modded to be thinner.
While Linus is going Office Space on his old desk (or maybe "going Tom Green" since he's Canadian), there's a crowd gathering to watch. Linus shoots the scene, then goes into Canadian apology mode, but a neighbor cuts him off with a hand wave, and a nod toward the hammer. "Ya finished?" Linus (apprehensive): Y-yeah, I guess. Neighbor: "Cool." (Picks up hammer, commences smashing.)
@@qbzerodp I think even to make auction becouse just because it is LTT creation many people would bit even unreasonable price and LTT could donate earnings to charity
Basic rule of acoustics: reduce turbulences, increase laminar flow. Never push the air, always pull it. This reduces the turbulences and thus the noise. Also, a laminar air flow cools better. Therefore always mount the ventilators at the end, at the exit, after the coolers. You have to do the opposite of your mount for optimal performance.
tracking down leaks or pinpointing odd noises take a piece of flexible tubing put one end to your ear then use the other end at joints or bearings that you want to check (works for air hoses all the way up to heavy equipment
