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.
@@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
@@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.
I love how this is one of the few times where Linus pretty quickly backed off about stolen stuff from the office and even helped fix the CPU/Mobo kerfuffle, and well deservedly tbh. Brandon is probably one of the biggest contributors to the channel's growth by letting them use his professional quality lenses before they were able to afford them, love to see him getting treated well as a result!
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?
Don't think he cares as long as they are taking things to sell and if he asks for something back they take it back lol like I mean if he sends a email saying I need this robot vacuum back it comes back 🤣
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.
Linus: What is it about our OG employees thinking they're entitled to our prototypes? Brandon: You remember that time we used my own lenses for the company? :P
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
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.

Mine has been fixed by LG support for around 70 bucks last year. Mine was 31MU97-b with thunderbolt 2, and I lost the thunderbolt connection after the board replacemente, but the monitor is still working. My dad uses it now.
15:45 12400 is just 6 P cores and no E cores - but even with only 6 it beats a 9700k by a fair amount in pretty much all tasks, and the price is crazy low. I recommend this chip to EVERYONE who asks me, it's unbeatable.
@@buzzlightyearoh, In all honesty, If I were you, I'd go for the 12600K(F) because there's a noticeable leap in performance when compared to the i5 12(400, 500, 600)(F). However, make sure that the "F" version of the 12600K is at least 20€ cheaper than the model that includes integrated graphics. Also, do NOT pay more than 280€ for the CPU.

Jeez, that office actually looks like what I would expect a set at LTT office's to look like. The artsy people really know how to put a room together 😲
Its fine i guess. Im not artsy people, at all. Its reasonably functional though. I like the lamp that shines on the table(hard to get it right, to avoid glare on the monitor), and SD dock is great if you use it often.
I just wish I could get my NAS to work properly. I've had a 4 bay Datto full of 4TB drives for 3 years and still cant get the damn thing to work right.
Brandon, you're living the life. Nice extreme tech upgrade, nice place, nice girl and baby, and what seems to be a like a good job doing what you like.
It's weird that this series is sponsored by INTEL but there is one brand that have had the same time on display in all of the series: IKEA. Have not you tried reach them? It would be nice to see the $7000 INTEL-IKEA Extreme tech upgrade!!! I really like the series (and to think that this was all a plot from Linus to find who steals from the LTT company) That is a cute baby. So weird that Linus has had three of them and still thinks that that sound was from forniture. 😂😂😂
There is a sponsor oportunity from IKEA there waiting to happen. Most of us needd furniture, smart furniture that accomodates to our work/lifestyle/hobby.
Brandon is still a great host tbh. I remember the first time he tried it and how nervous he was, but as he did it more and more on and off he's become legitimately quite good at it
Future historians will point to this moment as the catalyst for the Great Feline-Human War. Future historians will of course communicate this through variably pitched meows.
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.
If the items were actually needed they probably will be relieved, but if not maybe they'll be like: oh great, I already removed that from inventory now I have to included again and find it a place and a lot more of work... Edit: or maybe they will say: this is going to look great on my desk
Linus: "Omg what is all this garbage? Why do you even own this junk?" Brandon: "Actually those are very important sentimental items from my childhood." Linus: "Omg pick up your trash, nerd."
It's amazing they have so many employees now to where they can have a whole series of upgrading their workers setups at home. Amazing concept that only works on a platform like this.
Well intel pays them to make these videos to advertise so obviously they'll keep making more. It's an incredible business plan - intel pays them to make 21 minute long adverts for intel processors, then they put ads on top of the 21 minute intel advert as well. These videos will never end so long as intel is paying for them, at some point they'll start upgrading family members setups, then neighbors setups etc etc.
@@benfubbs2432 true, I don't think it would work with many other companies either on youtube. Whoever came up with the idea, whether it be intel or ltt really struck gold in the best way to advertise while also highlighting the good workplace culture ltt seems to have. I also feel like ltt viewers are more in tune with how advertising works to where this doesn't feel as predatory as some other advertising campaigns are on other channels. maybe I'm biased since I've been watching ltt for a ridiculous part of my life lmao
@@ktleen yeah probably, I remember it being when I was 13-14 and they were in the house still I believe. 22 now so it's a bit wild to still be watching the same, if not more, amount of their content
Totally subjective here, but this is the best upgrade to date. Unreal setup, and visually it's so appealing as well. Congratulations to Brandon and his SO on the baby as well! 👊
For me this is one of the worst, they could've easily modded the Z170 board to be compatible with 9th gen with minimal issues, but because intel's sponsoring the video and they didn't want to piss them off, they didn't. Z170 and Coffee Lake support is actually possible and easy.
"I give you my Linus Tech Tips guarantee that your front IO will work." 5 minutes later: "At best only 75% of your front IO is going to work..." Put the cart before the horse didn't you Linus?
@@FuburLuck didn't ltt do a video with a China home market Intel motherboard that had multi generation cpu support as well as older ram support than the CPU supposedly sorted.
At 15:50 Linus said 12400 had 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores but the 12400 doesn't it Just has 6 performance core its still a great chip but its not a 12600k ( the only 6 core that has 4 efficiency cores).
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.
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.
@@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
Oh man, that setup in the end looks soooo satisfying, I mean I am a gamer but I also am an engineer and between two worlds the common thing is usually how clean and subtle everything is ! :D great video once again :D thank you LTT
I think it has to do with the challenge of scheduling two camera operators doing one thing. The camera people's upgrades have to be spaced out more than, say, the writers' or editors'
@@DizzyBusy I think Linus mentioned as much during that one week documentary of trying to get 17 videos done in that time. It was when David’s Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade was being filmed.

Honestly, the benq lamp actually is kinda awesome. A lamp that just shines down on your whole desk and not shine into your eyes and the doesn't cause the glare on your monitor regardless of what it is and, unlike the china brand knockoffs, the day light is colour accurate to enough to not affect your colour grade on screen.
absolutely love this entire series and its genuinely fun to watch as each one of his employees have something reaction-inducing in store for their boss
This may have been addressed but why not just dump the old NAS onto the new NAS as it appears to have 3x-4x the capacity? Could sell the old one or wait till you need the space and upgrade the drives in the old NAS drives as need arises and budget allows.

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.

the reason $5000 extreme tech upgrade still happens more than profitably is because for every $5000 they give employees to give devices they return $5000 of devices to the office
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.
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.
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.
Technically the office borrowed Brandon’s camera lenses in the early days so it’s only fair that Brandon gets to borrow a WiFi router from the office.

I find it hilarious that every employee has stolen at least a handful of things from the office even though Linus gets mad about it every time
and the worst at "borrowing" from the office is Linus himself
Plot twist, he stole the most...
I think some of it comes from how much stuff LTT gets, the old stuff has to go somewhere, and people end up taking it home.
I feel like it's fake anger anyway. On top of that, I'm certain if he asked for it back he'd get it.
It's a comedy bit! Like the "forcing" employees to help with the house moving. Or the constant mentioning of the LTT waterbottle .
Those LG 31MU97 mostly all died from a ROM failure :( Never been burned so badly by a product recommendation
Surely someone has made a copy of that ROM chip? Should be easy enough to replace given that the chip is available?
Same, I have one from work that died. Supposedly there's a workaround where you can reflash that ROM chip but I haven't gotten around to it
Man, that sucks. It's just one of those things you can't tell in a review... How long did it take to fail?
Mine has been fixed by LG support for around 70 bucks last year. Mine was 31MU97-b with thunderbolt 2, and I lost the thunderbolt connection after the board replacemente, but the monitor is still working. My dad uses it now.
The long awaited state-of-the-art Linus Tech Tips Screwdriver: “it’s better because it doesn’t shake all the time”
15:45 12400 is just 6 P cores and no E cores - but even with only 6 it beats a 9700k by a fair amount in pretty much all tasks, and the price is crazy low. I recommend this chip to EVERYONE who asks me, it's unbeatable.
Hey Desinc
Just get a 12900k Engineering sample for 230 bucks, around 10% more performance. Or just be smart and get a ryzen
@@L4ftyOne They're stolen property and have compatibility issues. You don't want that.
I can either get a 12400f for 180€ or 12600kf for 280€. My use case is mostly gaming and some casual gaming. I’m pairing the cpu with a 3060ti btw.
@@buzzlightyearoh, In all honesty, If I were you, I'd go for the 12600K(F) because there's a noticeable leap in performance when compared to the i5 12(400, 500, 600)(F). However, make sure that the "F" version of the 12600K is at least 20€ cheaper than the model that includes integrated graphics. Also, do NOT pay more than 280€ for the CPU.

Jeez, that office actually looks like what I would expect a set at LTT office's to look like. The artsy people really know how to put a room together 😲
Hands down the most beautiful upgrade so far
Its fine i guess. Im not artsy people, at all. Its reasonably functional though. I like the lamp that shines on the table(hard to get it right, to avoid glare on the monitor), and SD dock is great if you use it often.

It's weird that this series is sponsored by INTEL but there is one brand that have had the same time on display in all of the series: IKEA. Have not you tried reach them? It would be nice to see the $7000 INTEL-IKEA Extreme tech upgrade!!!
I really like the series (and to think that this was all a plot from Linus to find who steals from the LTT company)
That is a cute baby. So weird that Linus has had three of them and still thinks that that sound was from forniture. 😂😂😂
7:39 That hurt... but it got caught on camera... so it is ok... that is all that matters for us, camera people.😂
IKEA is cheap and reliable, they spend most of the money on tech. That’s why they use ikea. Not bc it’s the best brand
@@SimonBauer7 its cheap and ok there are a lot of better shelfs and other furniture if you go up about 100$ in price
There is a sponsor oportunity from IKEA there waiting to happen. Most of us needd furniture, smart furniture that accomodates to our work/lifestyle/hobby.
They are already getting a free ad. It doesn't make sense to them to go out of their way to give away money to get ROI, when it is already free.
Brandon is still a great host tbh. I remember the first time he tried it and how nervous he was, but as he did it more and more on and off he's become legitimately quite good at it

Future historians will point to this moment as the catalyst for the Great Feline-Human War. Future historians will of course communicate this through variably pitched meows.
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.
I really hope Brandon owns a stake in Ltt since he was so integral to the success of the company.
Nope
Really Love these tech upgrades. amazing to see the creativity difference between each of your team members at LTT

We need a video with the reactions of logistics people when Linus brings cool stuff back from his employees.
If the items were actually needed they probably will be relieved, but if not maybe they'll be like: oh great, I already removed that from inventory now I have to included again and find it a place and a lot more of work...
Edit: or maybe they will say: this is going to look great on my desk
I'm so glad I'm not a logistics person and thus don't have to maintain that kind of spreadsheet
Linus: "Omg what is all this garbage? Why do you even own this junk?"
Brandon: "Actually those are very important sentimental items from my childhood."
Linus: "Omg pick up your trash, nerd."
It's amazing they have so many employees now to where they can have a whole series of upgrading their workers setups at home. Amazing concept that only works on a platform like this.
And by the time they are done with all the employees, they can do a $2500 refresh on all the existing setups and do it all over again!
Well intel pays them to make these videos to advertise so obviously they'll keep making more. It's an incredible business plan - intel pays them to make 21 minute long adverts for intel processors, then they put ads on top of the 21 minute intel advert as well. These videos will never end so long as intel is paying for them, at some point they'll start upgrading family members setups, then neighbors setups etc etc.
@@benfubbs2432 true, I don't think it would work with many other companies either on youtube. Whoever came up with the idea, whether it be intel or ltt really struck gold in the best way to advertise while also highlighting the good workplace culture ltt seems to have. I also feel like ltt viewers are more in tune with how advertising works to where this doesn't feel as predatory as some other advertising campaigns are on other channels. maybe I'm biased since I've been watching ltt for a ridiculous part of my life lmao
@@bacojvv so more than 7-8 years?

Totally subjective here, but this is the best upgrade to date. Unreal setup, and visually it's so appealing as well. Congratulations to Brandon and his SO on the baby as well! 👊
I really do so love the look of that 980 Ti Founder's Edition though... The 1080 Ti Founder's Edition even moreso.
For me this is one of the worst, they could've easily modded the Z170 board to be compatible with 9th gen with minimal issues, but because intel's sponsoring the video and they didn't want to piss them off, they didn't. Z170 and Coffee Lake support is actually possible and easy.
@@Appri That one detail ruined the video for you? Damn you're fragile

Yeah, you have to go AMD if you want CPU motherboard combos to be compatible over that wide of a gap.
@@FuburLuck only in the past xD
@@FuburLuck Meanwhile, many b350 and x370 boards lack 5000 series support.....
@@FuburLuck didn't ltt do a video with a China home market Intel motherboard that had multi generation cpu support as well as older ram support than the CPU supposedly sorted.
At 15:50 Linus said 12400 had 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores but the 12400 doesn't it Just has 6 performance core its still a great chip but its not a 12600k ( the only 6 core that has 4 efficiency cores).
I'm with Linus on this one, when it comes to that monitor-mounted lamp. Just nah... but to each their own, eh?
7:42 I thought it was a doll until he moved.
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.
I'd be rocking a 9900k if not for that. Went with Ryzen instead.
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.
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.
@@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
Yeah first thing I noticed.
I just really love watching this series. I find it eminently entertaining and it brings me joy.
Linus' paint job may not have been stellar, but we can be sure it was eggshell.
5:39 Damn.
Oh man, that setup in the end looks soooo satisfying, I mean I am a gamer but I also am an engineer and between two worlds the common thing is usually how clean and subtle everything is ! :D great video once again :D thank you LTT

Ye 😂
Not gonna lie, I’m surprised Brandon didn’t get an Extreme Tech Upgrade until now. Better late than never, I suppose.
Been thinking the same... since he was one of the first employees
I think it has to do with the challenge of scheduling two camera operators doing one thing. The camera people's upgrades have to be spaced out more than, say, the writers' or editors'
@@DizzyBusy I think Linus mentioned as much during that one week documentary of trying to get 17 videos done in that time. It was when David’s Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade was being filmed.
The upgrade order was supposedly a random draw.
"not gonna lie"? Seriously. You amp up a really bland statement with that? That's as meaningful as "Not gonna lie, I'm hungry".
I’m just here to defend the Milwaukee screwdriver. That’s a quality tool, and the “shaking” is a ratcheting feature. Taking nothing from the (seemingly perpetually) forthcoming LTT driver. But the Milwaukee does have the advantage of… existence.
100% that racheting screw driver is sick, and the bits work in the impact driver too
Honestly, the benq lamp actually is kinda awesome. A lamp that just shines down on your whole desk and not shine into your eyes and the doesn't cause the glare on your monitor regardless of what it is and, unlike the china brand knockoffs, the day light is colour accurate to enough to not affect your colour grade on screen.
Yep, light where you want it.
absolutely love this entire series and its genuinely fun to watch as each one of his employees have something reaction-inducing in store for their boss
This may have been addressed but why not just dump the old NAS onto the new NAS as it appears to have 3x-4x the capacity? Could sell the old one or wait till you need the space and upgrade the drives in the old NAS drives as need arises and budget allows.
What is that style of nas or that one specifically called? I need more storage and am running out of the space i have on my 4tbs of current space on my pc.

the reason $5000 extreme tech upgrade still happens more than profitably is because for every $5000 they give employees to give devices they return $5000 of devices to the office
A lot cheaper than advertising during a sports game. AND it's a targeted audience. Intel is the one winning
@@DizzyBusy We all win in this situation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
