"Why cant they just be all the same shape?"
Kid destroying decades of anti repair practices in one line. :P
... and kills her father's screwdriver business in the process...😂
it was so adorable and kinda sad at the same time cause even child understands it
@@danieloberhofer9035But screws would exists still, they're all just the same shape.
They can't all be the same shape because there's a large difference between torque capability and just like everything else in engineering, you select the type of fastener that's appropriate for your requirements and application.
Of course, some vendors just use proprietary fasteners just because they can, and that's bad too.
Torx Master Race
7:20 "I dropped my pencil" Linus, the proper response would have been, "It's ok honey, it runs in the family"
It's so wholesome watching Linus interact with his kids and the kids are actually interested in what he is doing.
I really feel his daughters frustration with different bits and screws!
Must be nice to not have a disappointment for a kid.
As my dad used to say.
@@informitas0117💀
It's really cute she takes after the father and drops stuff. :D
I like how she has her own little screwdriver
Love the daddy-daughter tag-team. Her giggle when she picked up that part with the magnet was so adorable. And she asked some interesting and good questions-- the same ones soooooo many of us have been asking for decades! LOL
@@Tobi25111Well, that started out wholesome. Now it’s a little weird! Sorry for the necro
@@zaiquiri1799 it's only weird because you're making it weird, get your head out of the gutter
@@kyuuneho You’re missing the context of the comment that is no longer here
@@zaiquiri1799 that makes more sense lol mb
I am loving the cut-in of jake explaining stuff in the middle of the less scripted building process
They don't want to add * on the videos that make others RUclipsrs mad
Yeah, that was a great choice by the team
Big fan of that. It explains just enough for my pea brain to understand what’s going on while not taking too much time to do it.
Edit: because I have piss for brains
@@thebreatho well those other youtubers were right
@@thebreathoit doesn't make me mad but it's annoying to have to read through a doc or video description to find errors that could have been corrected in editing
Linus' daughter... Asking the hard questions we all want answers to 😂
Props to Dad Linus for giving a perfectly reasonable answer as well.
@@vandorb12I also appreciate when a parent/adult speaks to a child like another adult.
@@vandorb12her ignoring all what he said made me laugh so hard but it’s still a good question ngl
For real hahaha I thought the same thing she's the one who's going to keep Daddy down to Earth..
crazy she so big now time is flying.
His daughter's cheesy grin when they do the close ups are amazing 😂
As a dad of a daughter, I absolutely loved that you included her in your build! Great video guys.
Linus was definitely meant to be a girl dad.
I don’t know how to make a top comment on an LTT video so I’ll just write this.
top reply 🙋♂️
it might work lol
Lol
U just did😅
Maybe second top reply?
Watching Jake & Linus raise their kid together is so wholesome
That kid will go far. She's got Yvonne's looks, Jake's brains, and Linus's willingness to be on camera.
Jake is helping raise his younger sister.
As their surrogate, Yvonne must contribute at least a little bit. Thank GOD the kids look like her, though.
@@notme222 Also, she dropped her pencil, great start!
ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT THAT'S THEIR KID AS IN... oh god. my day is ruined by what just popped into my head lol.
Really like the cut-in's of someone explaining things. Feels really good, allows for the fun silly content and a bit more information to be stuffed in. Would really love to see that sort of idea be used in more videos. Entertaining sillyness from people, and the actual video writer explaining things and being a bit more informative
I love the fact that LTT is sticking to their promises..keeping video production in lesser quantities while also adding in the more informative sections where mire context is needed..good on you guys
Linus' daughter is such the perfect blend of him and his wife, you can definitely recognize the parents it's adorable.
yeah its amazing
Good thing she got Yvonne's nose.
I loved the faces she was pulling in the background whenever she could
yeah, she drops things
WOWWWW A child looks like both of their parents!! 😮
Watching Linus build with his daughter was wholesome and makes me want to build something with my kids now. He genuinely spoke to her like she was the most important person in the room, not “creating content”
More of that LTT!
Absolutely! I hope she keeps appearing in videos in the future. Maybe in 5 to 10 years she will be a regular. Schooling her pops and us old guys along the way!
i agree a healthy dose of child labour is always accepted
because she was the most important person in the room.... at least for him (hopefully ;-) )
@@TheStevedie yeah milk the child content
His genuine enthusiasm of teaching her something was lovely to see!
Goodness she’s grown up and that old video with her felt like yesterday 🙃 glad this channel has been around as long as it has. You guys are great
Loved how you let your daughter be part of the process and answered all her questions. I try and do the same with my girls, even though it would obviously be easier to just do it yourself 😅
Im sure Jake´s thinking the same about his son, Linus XD
I love how she asked such a great question that not only did the explanation make the video, but it got it's own b-role. Smart kid
Right! i loved that that. She's asking the important questions here 🤣
why can't they be all the same shape? 'out of the mouths of babes' wisdom beyond her years@@Kkicks_
Kid's asking the real questions. Sadly, the real answers are saddening.
It was nice to have Linus's daughter there for a little bit, she seems to finally be at the age that she's somewhat interested in what you are doing instead of just the results and that was really nice to experience. You should have let her put her name on the GPU plate or draw something on it, so that something of her is on the inside, also makes for a fun moment when you decide to upgrade or change it and you come across it.
It was also nice of Linus's older son Jake to help his dad finish the computer.
These are the ltt videos i love the most! Just chill fun and informing. The viewer feels more involved and seems more personal. Love it
The cut-ins of extra nerdy details is great! Congrats on the video improvements you all worked on!
Seeing Linus working with his kids enjoying a hobby he loves (and that they seem invested in as opposed to just being there purely for him) is precious!
He's the owner of a 100 million dollar tech media company. You can safely stop calling it a hobby...
@@tapsofosiris3110 I more just meant that the classic pc building stuff is the hobby since he's grown the company and his job well beyond the initial hobby of pc nerd.
@tapsofosiris3110 Also, I was just commenting to point out a nice moment a man can have with his kids. Made me think about times I had with my own father. No need to be rude.
The "I don't like pink.... As much" moment was adorable.
Agree, before they seemed to be just interested in the result and just going along with it, but now she seems to actually be interested, which is fun to watch.
Love how Linus massively expands the company building space, but ends up with his family home full of employees lol.
Maybe I missed something but I think what you think as being his home is not his home but actually a set built inside the warehouse building they work at.
It's not an actual home. They sometimes hint it in some review videos "we bought this for our kitchen set" or "we will use this for our kitchen set", kitchen set being basically a setting not an actual kitchen, etc.
They built a kitchen, living room and it's just basically one side wall decorated the other side is a open workshop and empty space etc. Just like you would find inside a movie or tv show.
But yeah sometimes they do build or customize things at his home which ends up being a video content.
On a related note I seen even some streamers who have a room made as an set and not actual room, one side that on camera is all decorated even have a bed while the other side is an empty room just pipes and plastered walls, like a workhouse not even actual house room. Some have huge basements that are taller then the actual house rooms so they convert those into stream rooms and sets, shops whatever ...
@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy Okay but there's a clear difference between the set "house" and his actual house. This video was shot at his actual home.
@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthyhe's shot plenty of videos in his house, this is his house
@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthybros with the real conspiracies
omg i needed that video this morning, please bring your daughter more often on videos(if she want it obviously) her smile is contagious, that part where you show the gpu and you can see her just realising she's in the background and just start smiling
Linus' daughter is absolutely precious and their interactions were actually so wholesome! I loved her correcting him haha
edit: mountains!
It's going to be wild in 15 years when Linus decides to tech out his kid's wedding venue.
Oh god I cant imagine Linus doing a water cooled wedding venue
Would be a shame, if the cake got dropped
Such a wholesome video. Hopefully one day I will build a computer with my daughter when she is older and if she is interested in this kind of stuff.
linus is such a good dad, i wish i had a dad like him when i was being raised, well done linus, you're doing such a good job explaining everything.
Heck I wish I had a Dad like him now
I gotta say the videos are more fun to watch now. I guess the quality control is working. Less pressure by time is also always good for your mental health ltt team, stay healthy and thanks for the video!
Linus’ kid is the Right To Repair leader we didn’t know we needed 😂
her question with the screws just shows how simple kids see the world, just adorable
@@uranous101she's not simple, she's just not selfish like all those companies going "hmm what id we used different screws to make it harder for ppl to repair stuff so they buy new stuff when the old stuff breaks"
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA AWESOME
_Apple left the chat_
@@vnc.t no, just no (pardon me, English is not my native language) linus is right in this opinion, and i know because im a mechanic, you need different kind of bolt/screw for different kind of need, maybe you need high heat resistant(ceramic bolt) or you need stronger material bolt thats expensive for something that will handled great force (wheel bolt or nut, or bolt that hold your leaf spring), or it have difference clearance than the other side, there is need a lot to account just for bolt/screws/nut (fastener, lol i've been trying to search that word)
Ps: i've always hate sometimes engineer put such big fastener (the one that you need a lot of forces to crack it open) in tight space
Your daughter is literally a mini-Yvonne!! so adorable
Love Jake's cut away explaining things in a more detailed fashion to maintain that level of integrity. I can definitely see you guys striving to ensure people are getting the correct information ever since the issue earlier this year.
manually pumping water through a custom loop with one of those bottles has has to be one of the most absurd and humorous things I’ve seen in the realm of PC watercooling
The jump to Jake deep-dive explanation, yesss. I am by no means a crack at risers but had a preconcieved "hmmm will that not cause issues" attitude.
And then you guys took the time and perfectly reasonable explained it with a appropriate heads-up message - and hey, the final line "at best, don't go for a riser" was fair and nothing but fair; not ruling it out, but after a case well stated a perfectly fine summary. Love it, love it so much.
Bouncing back better than ever, lots of love to the LTT crew
I wonder if this will effect small form factor builds. Maybe those long riser builds where the gpu is practically in its own cubby will be a problem if you want full gen 4 speed?
I wonder if this was scripted from the begin with, or if this is a case of someone saying "hey should we maybe explain this a little bit more?" prior to publishing this video and they actually took the time to shoot Jake's insert.
@@marcel1416doesnt matter. Either way, you and people like you will find a way to make it a negative
@@helljumper912 oh my reply wasn't meant negative at all!
I loved Jake's insert, and if it happened after the fact then I'm even more happy that their new review process seems to be working and they make time for reshoots/inserts.
@@catriona_drummond It has something to do with signal reflection at the ends of the through hole leads, the same reason newer graphic cards needed to have a backdrill within the board vias. The reflections at these "dead ends" degrade the signal quality. sry for my bad english
"My system is progressing super fast now, thanks to my big helper"
"I'm not that big"
"No, but you're a big help"
awww 🙂
I really do like these additional inserts with corrections and explenations. It is a lot of additional work, but it’s appreciated. ❤
I love when Linus works with his kids. He basically treats his kids like his subscriber's. Never talking down to them, and always trying to teach them something. and no matter how complicated a topic may be, tries to find a simple and easy to understand explanation for it. Moments like that just make my heart melt. Thank you for being our collective tech dad. Much Love, Peace Out!
He talks down to subscribers all the time wtf
I always love seeing the kids involved with things. This specifically reminds me of stuff with my dad when I was younger.
For me, it's like seeing the awesome dad that I never had.
My dad gave me a sledge hammer and a pry bar and told me to demo a small room. Shortly afterwards I learned what plaster & lath was and what a pain it is to demo. I sure slept well that night.
Seeing linus working with his kids is so wholesome omg
Dude, your kid helping out is epic!! They looked like they were having a lot of fun!!
great to see the little one asking questions and learning with her father, very wholesome stuff and kinda hilarious when linus gets corrected xD
Wow, yeah, the tolerance on those 3d printed parts is, I mean, it's just perfect. I can't imagine how many iterations of those pieces Antoine went through for this one project. If he's getting other work done on top of that, like for example I know he's a primary associate for Labs testing, that's pretty impressive.
I’ve always been a longtime subscriber to LTT, but I just want to say I appreciate how recent videos seem to have that extra layer of polish. The videos maintain the fun factor but also stick with being informational and accurate where possible.
So cool to see you getting your daughter involved while assembling the system. I remember when I was that age being involved in stuff like this was like the coolest thing ever. Also she was so right about the screw heads lol. How nice would it be if just about everything took the same bit.
been a fan for ages and i love how over the years you see the kids grow but also linus n how awesome a dad he is.
I'm just delighted seeing how much Linus' kids have grown. The daughter will be the one who will keep him humble, I can tell!
God bless them, beautiful family, Linus & Ivonne! 😀
I loved the Jake interference to explain things further really well thought out and made
probably an add-in from the Week? either way it's a good add in
7:15 goodness I love that you were teaching little mini Ivon ❤
Man, that is a well-created video. Kudos.
Linus, I wanted to say I’m super impressed by how involved you are as a parent. I wish more people were like you with their kids.
It's much easier to be a good father when you have tons of money and can spend more time at home with your children.
@Furchee it's not a matter of quantity but quality. If as a we don't have much time, cause of, you know, life..
Make the time you have count, make it memorable!
@@Furchee money has nothing to do with parenting. plenty of rich folk that never see their kids
@@FurcheeMoney makes things easier, not having enough makes everything harder, yes you are correct there.
Having money doesn’t make being a parent easy, it makes it easier, not easy. It’s easier to be a good parent if you have less external problems of course. But being a good parent still takes active effort to give your kids the support they need to grow up to be great adults. It’s not easy, and there isn’t enough of it, so even if it’s harder for others its still great to see.
@@bradhaines3142 Yes of course I think their point was more that having money makes it much easier to be involved in your kids lives more because you don't have to spend as much time working. Still doesn't take anything away from Linus though, he seems like a fantastic parent!
Jake’s bit on potential riser issues is one of the best short-form technical explanations I’ve seen in RUclips. Well done!
really deserves to be made into a short.
Appreciated the PSA from Jake on Riser cables. Not sure if this is part of the recent focus on QA, but either way, it was a fantastic (and much needed) part of the video ^_^
I didn't expected any "new for me" tech tips in this video but you are still doing this:) I liked those about setting block with fresh paste and csm motherboards. Simple but helpfull to know for me, even it never came to my mind to check for those :) Thanks!
I'm so excited you're getting around to finishing up all these awesome projects. Can't wait to see everything's final form
Your daughter is adorably smart and absolutely correct about the screw bits.
Torx or Hex for everything please.
Robertson enjoyer.
No, Philips is ideal for when you want the screw to fail before the material it's being driven into fails. Flat is great because it's insanely cheap.
Always love the wholesome content, and man are the kids getting big.
4:03 this makes sense. Since it's a fresh application of very wet thermal paste, putting it back won't make any difference. However replacing the cold plate with OLD dry thermal paste (that's been there for a considerable amount of time) will leave air bubbles. So if the thermal paste has been there for years, clean it off and apply new thermal paste. I tend to re-do thermal paste with my CPUs and GPUs about every 2-3 years.
Hand pumping water through the loop is actually hilarious and I can't believe I haven't seen it in an LTT video until now.
Ouch that hurts. They got second hand 3080s going for $355 on Ebay. Meanwhile in the UK a second hand 3080 is around £500-600 (which is around $700)
Fr lmao, i hate the british second hand tech market, a 1070 still goes for £175 where i am
@@imspaget9667cheapest non Ti I saw was £450
i got a 3080 ti in germany for about 500 euros on ebay. idk how shipping to uk would be tho
Gigabyte one for 420 right now if you offered 380 he would easy accept
They're £450 from cex with a 2yr warranty.
I think I’m going to try this myself and document the process on my channel. This looks awesome!
These are the videos that I love, raw fun and great content!!!!
I'm learning so much by watching.. love that you show everything you do in detail, super helpful man keep crushing it!!
so true and its adorable that he does some of this for his kids :D
one of the best "tech tubers" and goes unmatched with other channels for sure when it comes to pc building especially 😁
9:06 "Why can't the screws be all the same shape?"
Leave it to a kid to ask the questions we've been wondering our whole lives.
well... it used to be... until the micro-technology age started rising with apple iPhone... we used to still have right to repair built in as part of the manufacturing process... now? everything silicon and chips...
That "Jake's Techs" section was pure gold and thoroughly improved the viewing experience by adding a change of pace in the video flow as well as recapturing my attention by providing interesting information.
Kudos!
Awesome, people need to see more of this side of Linus, I love working on stuff my kids, being a good dad says so much about a man
Linus being a dad is really wholesome content I love seeing him being nurturing 👍
I can see his kids being brilliant at pcs when they are older XD
Or terrible. This is a super walled garden. If they were just tossed an old pc and told to deal, they'd learn a lot more. Screaming daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad whenever something breaks isn't as informative.
child tech tips
@@IdiomatickI agree, but if he teaches em along the way then it will help them
@@Idiomatick if Linus is the dad he says he is then if they scream for dad when something goes wrong then they'll be taught how to fix it instead of it being done for them
they're*
great production-- great sound editing
Wow! A mini Yvonne. Thanks for all the work
11:27 OMG SO PRECIOUS.
Cheeeese!! 😁
You can clearly see how the quality of the videos has gone up since the whole chaos thing a few weeks back. Congrats on everyone working on the videos
"Can I put the screws in please?" What a sweetheart. That made my heart happy.
Love watching you work with the kids😁
You know Linus is such at great father, i didnt have my father in my life but man i can sure recognize a great one when i see one. its the little things. Congrats on the life you've made for not only you, but your precious family Linus.
8:24 - “We’re using tiny little fingers.” - You sure are Linus. You sure are.
Great to see LTT content again on my RUclips timelime ❤
10:10 I appreciate that you gave her the real answer and not something dumbed down. A lot of people don't realize how profound of an impact that can make for a kid. I'm now 40 but still remember some conversations like that I had with my dad and others when I was about her age.
This build is insane! Sounds like a total nightmare but you guys are still somehow killing it.
but why tho? It's not like that massive house is short on space. A lot of pain and expense.
@jondonnelly4831 hes gonna put it in his computer rack in his pc room thats why it need to be small and compact
16:30 atleast it looks like they are having fun!
I love the faces behind the close up shots. Absolute gold!
Hey guys! Just wanted to say I really appreciate the sponsor spot moving back to its home between the introduction and core content. It feels right there and actually makes a way bigger difference to how I interpret the content. Cheers!
Even though you've been having so many problems with this build, I have SUCH a desire to make my own! I want something that doesn't put heat in my room, and easily accessible from multiple rooms. Love seeing you get this stuff figured out!
Also wow, your daughter asking the tough questions we all wish had been asked before about the different types of screws XD
My dad did this with a rack server a while ago and wanted to have all our pcs in a similar config. Never did it unfortunately
i need my pc to create heat cause im cold like all the time but my pc's temperature doesnt really go up by much
@@koxrod lmao back when my brother was in the small room in the house he had 2 OC profiles called summer and winter which undervolted in the summer and overclocked in winter, it worked really well and he ran the heat really low
As nice as those are,@@sggsquadpresents , there is still just a bit too much latency or artifacting at times with those solutions. I wouldn't want to deal with those issues while just using my computer on the daily. Those are good for now while I don't have a proper setup though
I'm the opposite@@koxrod ! I'm always way too warm/hot, I need to get as much of it out of here as possible!
They really did put the linus face at the background of mountains, 11:59
I love how you are using u units I work at a rack building company and its incredible working with super expensive AV equipment
I like your content at all and i think so cool to see how you tell your kids what you make and teaching here. Sry for my bad english 😅
She's well on her way to being an engineer that hates being an engineer 🤣
10:14 Screw type determines max torque that can be applied to a screw, by design each screw type snaps on purpose at a certain torque, this can be used as a safety feature to prevent overtorque.
linus your family is adorable and amazing i love seeing you teach them and how interested they are!!!!!
22:45 - That head tilt 😂😂😂
"Why does Linus know the temperature of pee by touch?" - Jake, probably
I love seeing Linus getting told off by his own daughter at 18:00
Man.. I am melting... What a great family video
This was a pretty wholesome PC build video!
2:41 - can always count on Linus doing Linus things.
Be careful with those pci brackets for the cooling. I've had those leak before with no real pressure drop and it destroyed a motherboard
Man I love the drop at 2:42 it gives me the been doing this for years vibes.
13:28 Thank you for this nice detail explanation part! Much better than "* notes." I really appreciate it.
its so cute seeing linus teaching the daughter tech stuff and her asking and showing intrest in it.
16:43 the splicer majigs is called a Wago Lever Nut and is a very strong and reliable connection (so long as they dont get wet) and are commonly used in trucks/ambulances to connect their various lights without having to shorten the connections every time you make a repair preventing the threat of running a new source wire.
Those are actually cheap clones which probably shouldn't be trusted in critical applications. I _know_ they're not real because Wago doesn't make that style.
its cool to see you with your daughter building a system so smart and beautiful glad to c your a proud dad keep it going
I remember watching videos of the langly house where Linus is holding his kids when they were just tiny. Really neat to see them growing up and enjoying his craft
Glad to see LTT picking up their most popular projects. I hope you get your views back so the Lab can still happen.
I have a feeling they are using the time to finish out the old projects if they can, while polishing the improved protocols from the Week.
