You all know how with quantum physics a particle in superposition can technically be in two different states at once? I’m almost entirely certain that’s what’s happening with Bearded Linus and Beardless Linus. They both exist but they’re unaware of one another.
It's worth noting that the weight of the PSU doesn't necessarily mean much. It was pointed out to Linus before in a previous video that if China is manufacturing a PSU to only be sold or used in China, then they don't have to bother making them dual voltage, which would make it far lighter than a PSU intended to be used in both North America and Europe.
@@Elemonator >doesnt do the test before publishing the video(presunably for time budget purposes) wasnt avoiding quantity over quality something they wanted to do?
Some one pin this comment. I personaly hate chinese products, but with greatwall I'm willing to wait for proper test before making an opinion on weight alone.
The power supply being a Chinese power supply and likely intended for Chinese distribution is probably intended to run at 220 volts. Therefore, it probably is a true 1200 watt power supply and that's why it's so light because higher voltage, less amperage, you don't need such heavy wiring and components.
Also single frequency. If the entire country uses 60hz, then they dont need two sets of capacitors and mosfets to rectify. All this simplification also affects the requirements for the primary and secondary boards and the PSU suddenly gets really light while still passing tests.
Hi brother. Where can westerners buy directly from KTC and MAXSUN, etc? More money to the manufacturers, like you guys, and prevents companies like Amazon from making a lot of money off of your wonderful hardware.
The "Legacy compatibility mode" was introduced in a BIOS update back when Alder Lake was new in response to some game copy protection systems freaking out when tasks were shuffled between P- and E-cores - you should find it in pretty much every 12th/13th/14th-gen board's BIOS, though who knows where some folks bury it
On my Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 7, I can switch this setting on the fly with fn+K. It can either save power or improve performance, depending on the workload.
That ZHITAI PC005 Active 1TB SSD is almost a 4-year old product. YMTC do have some drives which offers much higher performance, like TiPlus 7100 (PCI-E gen 4 w/HMB), TiPro 7000 (PCI-E gen 4 w/DRAM cache), etc. Combined with Maxio and Innogrit's PCI-E gen 4 controllers their speed is pretty awesome. I personally have a few of them on my PC and NAS.
Japan has modern gaming pc brands like Mouse and ELSA. They aren't interesting like Japanese computers were in the 80s though, it's the same stuff coming out of Taiwan. Japanese keyboard brands like Happy Hacker and Realforce are interesting though, keyboard switches have a long history in Japan, I mean Cherry is Japanese. I have a Realforce myself and it's pretty neat, though hardly justifiable for the price.

A few months ago, I bought several SSDs on Taobao. The brand is Acer GM7. It is a PCIe 4.0 SSD with a capacity of 2TB and a read speed of 7000MB/S. What surprises me most is the price. A 2TB PCIE4.0 SSD only costs 499 RMB (about 70 US dollars). I bought 3 of them and now two of them are in my computer.
Is this the price excluding shipping and tax? You are lucky because SSDs have recently seen a significant price increase, and the Acer GM7 is a great SSD. I was surprised that Linus did not actually use the zhitai ti plus 7000, as they have high-performance PCIE4.0 solid-state drives and are known for their powerful performance and reliability. However, PC005 is also a very popular model. I currently have one for storing games, which has been running for 17000 hours and has a 95% health rating. This SSD was popular during the Bitcoin wave due to its incredible stability.
@@Marty-o5oeverything on taobao is after tax, there’s no such thing as state tax or combined sale tax in China. Or we just don’t know it, but ¥499 is the final price and it’s likely to be free shipping (even if it’s not it would be likely to cost as little as ¥5 or ¥10, $1 usd or something)
As a Chinese DIYPC youth enthusiast I am proud of this video, let me introduce these hardware, the motherboard is MAXSUN's mid-range Aijia series,MAXSUN is a main cost-effective brand, the price is very good for civilian materials, many mid-range boards can run full i9, so in China nicknamed the beggar gang leader. In addition, Mingxuan also has server motherboards, memory, hard disks, graphics cards and other businesses. The heatsink comes from Overclocking III, which is also a well-known heatsink in China, in addition to this company also makes cases, fans. The power supply comes from a well-established manufacturer in China, and the dragon series power supply of the Great Wall in the era of mining bitcoin is famous for its durability in the graphics card. I have one of these power supplies in my hand, which is in service and has not broken so far. In addition to video, there are many cost-effective brands in Chinese displays, such as SANC, AOC, HKC, etc The above is my supplement to the video,For the first time, I want to talk about the origin of the YTX version in the video,YTX version comes from a digital blogger in China, nicknamed "Old Ape", he proposed the concept of back plugging motherboard, and co-produced H610 King H770YTX these two YTX motherboards with MAXSUN, in addition, a few months ago, MAXSUN also launched a new innovative ITX motherboard model, MAXSUN B760BKB, this motherboard is particularly interesting, you can go and see.

Good video! I love this beautiful and well detailed and insightful look into the specific hardware setups that the cheaters in Escape from Tarkov use to head/eyes me every raid ultimately leaving me with no kits mid-wipe.
Honestly it's a very good motherboard approach that I would like to see more manufacturers adopt this type of priority. It has an average VRM just like any other entry Z790, but it's feature packed with stuff that most people would be able to use, enjoy, and utilize; 7 Segment display, premium "look" design / rgb & aesthetics, decent IO and storage ports, etc. All kinds of features that usually only exists in $450 or above boards, yet at a very affordable price. The current trend in motherboards is that you either buy the very skimped, cheap ones, or you have to buy the grossly overpriced high end boards, even though all you wanted was the aesthetics, ports, and storage slots. The majority of people does not need overkill VRMs unless they're hardcore overclockers, but people can certainly use the abundant of ports that only exist in high end boards. It's the equivalent of having to buy a fruit hampers even though the only one you wanted was apples and oranges since they no longer sold them separately anymore.
@@あなた以外の誰でもない same thing here, usually shipping + customs fee is around 80~120$, depending on the seller, that is why I was asking to get a rough approximate
No CXMT-based RAM, no MTT GPU, did not mention Loongson. I understand if those are difficult to obtain or not usable enough (or are not compatible with each other, especially Loongson and MTT), but can't really be a 100% Chinese PC without those. Still a great video. I wonder if there ever will be a moment when it'll be possible to build and showcase a 100% Russian PC on a western YT channel. Russia basically has every component besides NAND flash, GPUs and (conventional) cooling. x86 motherboards, for example, are aplenty in the public procurement market, as are SSDs and RAM (although all of them still use nearly 100% imported components nearly 100% of the time)
True. The issue with MTT is that their GPUs are currently held up by the driver, the perfornance is not bad but you are stuck with OpenGL games only. Regarding Loongson, their latest 3A6000 processor took a great leap but the unique architecture meant that we'll never see much proprietory software released for LA64 (a win for the open source community haha).
@@AndRei-yc3ti yes, there is such a factory called GS Nanotech, unfortunately they don't exactly make chips from scratch. But it's very close. Imported 300mm wafers from Toshiba, Micron etc are cut, tested and packaged as NAND flash chips. This is still a highly technologically advanced process, the only thing they are lacking at this point is actual raw silicon and a lithography machine to print the flash memory. Until recently they only made SSDs featuring their own packaged NAND flash, but they also started to make DDR4 RAM sticks. Although they are made using imported flash packages, that might change soon, considering that the first GS SSDs were also made with finished Micron chips (I even have one of those early ssds on hand)

Ayo Linus, I may not always like every video, but this one speaks clear LTT to me. A while back I was having trouble undestanding everything that was going on with (all) the channel(s). This is the LTT I know and love for about 10 years now, thx for the fun vid :)
Guys you should include measured Δ's for values like the keyboard switch measurements, especially if you say stuff. Like "we measured great consistency" else that statement comes down to "trust me bro"
LTT is just entertainment anyway. Not to be taken seriously for any scientific analysis. They can buy all the fancy instruments they want but at the end of the day, they don't really know how to use them properly or how to interpret results because they aren't scientists. A CS degree doesn't count. That is a 'technology' not a 'science'. The science behind it is called 'physics'.
"everyone should have it" no its just intel being shitty at actually making stuff new instead of refurbishing gen after gen. the core i arch will never die bc of apologists.
Don't be surprised, other models that are better than this keyboard can be purchased in China for around 300 RMB (around 41 USD), and there are countless styles that are more cool, functional, and have a better sound than this one. And high-performance gaming mice only cost 69 RMB (around 9.5 USD) In fact, the PC market in China is very diversified, and you can find various magical products that do not exist in the West, such as the YTX motherboard displayed by Linus before, various ITX cases, a variety of sea view room cases, and dazzling PC products, from the lowest price practical to the most luxurious and cool.
It becomes evident that just about every single component, no matter what you get, is indeed "Made in China". The durability is so low, that those have to handle with care no matter what they do.
At reading the title I was like " Anything is made in China anyways" but then it was more like " Stuff from China under offbrand names with good quality"

As someone who has used a similar chinese cheap keyboard, I can say that the experience was great.. for the 1.5 years it lasted before the low quality switches died completely.
All computer accessories made in China are 30 to 40% cheaper than those in the United States and South Korea, and I have already purchased a lot, which is no different from American products. Many Chinese people choose domestically produced computers when they come with them. Of course, Chinese products are also graded, and the more expensive, the better

The Zhitai PC005 SSD is made for Server storage XD, Zhitai 7000 series and 7100 series are made for personal PC storage.
A few months ago, I bought several SSDs on Taobao. The brand is Acer GM7. It is a PCIe 4.0 SSD with a capacity of 2TB and a read speed of 7000MB/S.
What surprises me most is the price. A 2TB PCIE4.0 SSD only costs 499 RMB (about 70 US dollars).
I bought 3 of them and now two of them are in my computer.
Is this the price excluding shipping and tax? You are lucky because SSDs have recently seen a significant price increase, and the Acer GM7 is a great SSD.
I was surprised that Linus did not actually use the zhitai ti plus 7000, as they have high-performance PCIE4.0 solid-state drives and are known for their powerful performance and reliability.
However, PC005 is also a very popular model. I currently have one for storing games, which has been running for 17000 hours and has a 95% health rating. This SSD was popular during the Bitcoin wave due to its incredible stability.
now is ¥999 or ＄130
its not a good time to buy ssd in china right now，it has been much more expensive recently.
but it may still be cheap for you guys
@@Marty-o5oeverything on taobao is after tax, there’s no such thing as state tax or combined sale tax in China. Or we just don’t know it, but ¥499 is the final price and it’s likely to be free shipping (even if it’s not it would be likely to cost as little as ¥5 or ¥10, $1 usd or something)
I bought a KTC 19 inch monitor back in 2007 and use it for little more then 10 years. I have great experience using it
The mouse and keyboard were so cool! The mouse having the option for quiet or clicky is actually so awesome!
I'm now sold that there are 2 different Linus Sebastians in this world. Bearded and shaved Linus.

@@mattrogers6646 holy shii, I think you're right 😨
One's pro Taiwan. The other one is pro CCP. Which one's which?
BTW the prices you see on Chinese websites are all after tax. So what you see is what you gonna pay for in the end. There is no x plus tax thing.
Ye it's like that in nearly every country apart from the US. So much better to know full price like in EU and China from the get go
no tax here in uk on purchases

As a Chinese DIYPC youth enthusiast I am proud of this video, let me introduce these hardware, the motherboard is MAXSUN's mid-range Aijia series,MAXSUN is a main cost-effective brand, the price is very good for civilian materials, many mid-range boards can run full i9, so in China nicknamed the beggar gang leader. In addition, Mingxuan also has server motherboards, memory, hard disks, graphics cards and other businesses. The heatsink comes from Overclocking III, which is also a well-known heatsink in China, in addition to this company also makes cases, fans. The power supply comes from a well-established manufacturer in China, and the dragon series power supply of the Great Wall in the era of mining bitcoin is famous for its durability in the graphics card. I have one of these power supplies in my hand, which is in service and has not broken so far. In addition to video, there are many cost-effective brands in Chinese displays, such as SANC, AOC, HKC, etc
The above is my supplement to the video,For the first time, I want to talk about the origin of the YTX version in the video,YTX version comes from a digital blogger in China, nicknamed "Old Ape", he proposed the concept of back plugging motherboard, and co-produced H610 King H770YTX these two YTX motherboards with MAXSUN, in addition, a few months ago, MAXSUN also launched a new innovative ITX motherboard model, MAXSUN B760BKB, this motherboard is particularly interesting, you can go and see. My knowledge is still shallow, if me make mistakes, please correct them kindly
the ram to ssd transition was SICK

For 50 dollars that keyboard is a steal
For 50 bucks you also find Royal Kludge. They make great keyboards. I daily one for a year now and its so nice.
which cost $15 in the mainland
i dunno man, good mechanical keyboards can get at that price really easy
Epomaker x Aula F75 with reaper switches is the best budget option right now, sounds like high end mech keyboards while being stock and is SO damn cheap
@@helloukw RK has bad QC😅
Switchable mouse switches is a really cool idea.
What switches you need ?
@@lucasrem I would like to have both a silent switch and an normal switch
I think Asus or some other company did mice that allowed you to easily change the switches about a decade ago.
@@mbsfaridi interesting
@@xnopyt13 Nevermind. This video showed a mouse with switches you can change by a toggle while the ones I was thinking of was for the ability to easily replace he switches after they’re worn out.
11:36 Wtf, that was a jumpscare. Never thought I would hear about Belarus in such context
What i find funny is my first keyboard and headset when i was 12 were AULA products. Strange to see they are still around.
They are doing pretty well actually. Their products are highly competitive in Chinese market now.I'm using f75pro($35) from AULA and it's very impressive.
Would be nice to know the final price of the whole build, how much it would cost.
in China ， maybe 2000 Dollar

This video was probably like 6 months in the making as everything that concerns stuff that isnt just sent to them :P
Then linus might have had to buy something.
13:22 YES another collection to Linus Drop Tips!!!
The look of intense distress on his face was priceless.
The Chinese “subtitles” are so funny, keep it up! LOVE FROM CHINA!!

I honest to God thought he was going to say "and the government is DEAD SET...on obtaining Taiwan" at 19:41
well, that would sure eliminate foreign dependencies by a lot ;)
Honestly it's a very good motherboard approach that I would like to see more manufacturers adopt this type of priority. It has an average VRM just like any other entry Z790, but it's feature packed with stuff that most people would be able to use, enjoy, and utilize; 7 Segment display, premium "look" design / rgb & aesthetics, decent IO and storage ports, etc. All kinds of features that usually only exists in $450 or above boards, yet at a very affordable price.
The current trend in motherboards is that you either buy the very skimped, cheap ones, or you have to buy the grossly overpriced high end boards, even though all you wanted was the aesthetics, ports, and storage slots. The majority of people does not need overkill VRMs unless they're hardcore overclockers, but people can certainly use the abundant of ports that only exist in high end boards. It's the equivalent of having to buy a fruit hampers even though the only one you wanted was apples and oranges since they no longer sold them separately anymore.
So much knowledge about Chinese companies...!! Thank you for all the knowledge !!
So... How much did the entire setup cost with shipping? Is it worth it to buy them and await shipping or do taxes and customs fees apply ?
As a guy from China and living in Canada using pc parts shipped from China, my answer is No.
idk about US, but i bought things from Japan to EU and the taxes + custom fee were like 40% of the product price, may vary depending the product tho
@@あなた以外の誰でもない same thing here, usually shipping + customs fee is around 80~120$, depending on the seller, that is why I was asking to get a rough approximate
in aus, you only pay 10% tax for these Import
No CXMT-based RAM, no MTT GPU, did not mention Loongson. I understand if those are difficult to obtain or not usable enough (or are not compatible with each other, especially Loongson and MTT), but can't really be a 100% Chinese PC without those. Still a great video.
I wonder if there ever will be a moment when it'll be possible to build and showcase a 100% Russian PC on a western YT channel. Russia basically has every component besides NAND flash, GPUs and (conventional) cooling. x86 motherboards, for example, are aplenty in the public procurement market, as are SSDs and RAM (although all of them still use nearly 100% imported components nearly 100% of the time)
True. The issue with MTT is that their GPUs are currently held up by the driver, the perfornance is not bad but you are stuck with OpenGL games only. Regarding Loongson, their latest 3A6000 processor took a great leap but the unique architecture meant that we'll never see much proprietory software released for LA64 (a win for the open source community haha).
I'm already working on all these ideas. Import laws are really something
Doesnt Russia have a factory in Kaliningrad making their own memory modules almost entirely from scratch?
@@AndRei-yc3ti yes, there is such a factory called GS Nanotech, unfortunately they don't exactly make chips from scratch. But it's very close. Imported 300mm wafers from Toshiba, Micron etc are cut, tested and packaged as NAND flash chips. This is still a highly technologically advanced process, the only thing they are lacking at this point is actual raw silicon and a lithography machine to print the flash memory.
Until recently they only made SSDs featuring their own packaged NAND flash, but they also started to make DDR4 RAM sticks. Although they are made using imported flash packages, that might change soon, considering that the first GS SSDs were also made with finished Micron chips (I even have one of those early ssds on hand)
@realN1K3X ah so they have no fab process of their own? Why call them Russian if they dont use domestic components?
3:38 that "OW" unironically was the best acting from Linus I've ever seen. I was genuinely concerned for a sec there
Guess I was expecting some kind of Loongson or Zhaoxin CPU and a MTT GPU with the "ALL China PC".
A lot of research went into this one, good work yall
14:38 was smooth AF.
true smooth and clean
"All China PC"-- you've had some crazy ideas but this one is just over the top
I thought my PC was mostly china already.
5:12 wait wait hold up! Some random Chinese brand CAN include SSD screws but Samsung refuses to include those? Those screws are ludicrously easy to lose and somehow impossible to buy at a reasonable price unless you are willing to wait 3 weeks on AliExpress xD
I got a couple dozen of them on Amazon for a few bucks.
I REALLY wanna see the whole build with that white gpu it looks sooooo cool
That keyboard sounds amazing and mouse is really cool too
At 0:13, Linus was banned from China (P.s: They want their TV back)

Did a RTX 4070 build with an I Craft z690 board and a 12900k. It was a very nice board, nice RGB and came with features you only see on strix or more expensive boards imo. Came with stickers, a screwdriver set and the mounting plate as a bonus. I kept the tools and plate, gave the stickers to my little girls and sold that pc for $1519 U.S.
Ayo Linus, I may not always like every video, but this one speaks clear LTT to me.
A while back I was having trouble undestanding everything that was going on with (all) the channel(s).
This is the LTT I know and love for about 10 years now, thx for the fun vid :)
Guys you should include measured Δ's for values like the keyboard switch measurements, especially if you say stuff. Like "we measured great consistency" else that statement comes down to "trust me bro"
LTT is just entertainment anyway. Not to be taken seriously for any scientific analysis. They can buy all the fancy instruments they want but at the end of the day, they don't really know how to use them properly or how to interpret results because they aren't scientists. A CS degree doesn't count. That is a 'technology' not a 'science'. The science behind it is called 'physics'.
Is that not 16:09?
@@crispo5136that's exactly where it's missing. The averagees alone don't say anything about consistency

17:15 that side panel resting against the back of the case while he moves the PC. Giving me PTSD Linus!

and now I want to move to China...

Hey Linus! What happened to the pinned comment showing the PSU’s intensive test results?
I dont get exactly filled with confidence from a PSU with the branding "Fire"
Core parking with Scroll Lock is normal, everyone should have it. Intel released it after the debacle with 100+ games not running on 12th gen
"everyone should have it" no its just intel being shitty at actually making stuff new instead of refurbishing gen after gen. the core i arch will never die bc of apologists.
Its shocking Linus didn't plug the LLT screwdriver when talking about the included motherboard driver.
It's been advertised so hard we're all conditioned to think of it when seeing a screwdriver on an LTT video anyway.
Why is nobody talking about how good that keyboard sounds stock?? wtf
Yeah, Chinese keyboards have long since surpassed western ones honestly, specially in price-to-performance (typed on a Xinmeng keyboard)
你可以去搜索一下wob rainy 75，leobog hi 75，vgn vxe 75，infi100，都是目前比较火的键盘，声音比这个好听很多
Don't be surprised, other models that are better than this keyboard can be purchased in China for around 300 RMB (around 41 USD), and there are countless styles that are more cool, functional, and have a better sound than this one. And high-performance gaming mice only cost 69 RMB (around 9.5 USD)
In fact, the PC market in China is very diversified, and you can find various magical products that do not exist in the West, such as the YTX motherboard displayed by Linus before, various ITX cases, a variety of sea view room cases, and dazzling PC products, from the lowest price practical to the most luxurious and cool.
2:27 ....when you accidently press when unplug or plug mouse in to USB port :)

As a chinese i approve the pc parts picked in this video. they really did their homework on this one.

The 100 Acre Wood comment was absolutely mint. Well done.
Especially it's a burning wood. How fitting :D
It becomes evident that just about every single component, no matter what you get, is indeed "Made in China". The durability is so low, that those have to handle with care no matter what they do.
2:08 "How cool is that?" - brought back my memories of watching Supercar Blondie videos when the lights flashed nicely on the million dollar car. 😂
At reading the title I was like " Anything is made in China anyways" but then it was more like " Stuff from China under offbrand names with good quality"
and with reasonal price
Poor choice of title. LTT still can't manage to say what they mean.
I spent $140 last year to buy a 4TB SSD,is third -party brands utilize YMTC 232-layer NAND. it still work stable and outstanding performance.@@aydenchu7437
These are not offbrands, it's brands that are not so well-known in the overseas
Let’s see what you say again? In addition to CPU and GPU, any other motherboard, power supply, mouse, keyboard, monitor. All are Chinese brands and made in China
still no pinned comment lol 10:28
As someone who has used a similar chinese cheap keyboard, I can say that the experience was great.. for the 1.5 years it lasted before the low quality switches died completely.
The tattered work gloves speak of the many hours of hard labor he endured throughout his life.
The cut from beard to no beard threw me off so hard
Did anyone put together the total cost of the build??
The motherboard is "white". Google's AIs won't stand for that.
What
The 100 acre wood line was goated.
I am pretty sure they will have to cut that out, when this video goes on Bilibili.
All computer accessories made in China are 30 to 40% cheaper than those in the United States and South Korea, and I have already purchased a lot, which is no different from American products. Many Chinese people choose domestically produced computers when they come with them. Of course, Chinese products are also graded, and the more expensive, the better

8:38 that looks cool asf tbh I’d like to see more pc builds from other markets around the world see what it’s like for someone else to buy and build a pc maybe find a cool reliable part for cheaper in another market than what you would in your own
5:34 Implying Taiwan isn't part of China hmm? Might need to cut that for international audiences
+999 credit score
