Mike's working right we're all good we're all good please tell me that Mike is working please please tell me the microphone is working it took me forever to set up the stream multiple cameras lots of stuff lots of goodies let me go to the meat part of the chat here I got the chat open I got the chat open here on my laptop so let me pop that chat I'm gonna try make this chat as big as possible so I can really read what you guys are saying let's go like this plus I want to see concurrent viewers at the same time so what are you out one failure right now this is gonna be a long stream folks we are going to be live streaming pretty much all night maybe even into the wee hours of the morning it kind of depends on long mistakes so yes this is my Xbox series X it works I have pretty much every game I wanted installed on it right now I got like seven games on it something a lot of them all game pass I played Assassin's Creed Valhalla on today confirmed it works played it for like three hours so yeah I really like my series X so it's gonna suck if I screw this up but I'm going to be putting I'm gonna be replacing the thermal compound on here with liquid liquid metal specifically the caduct not thermal grizzly liquid metal now there are precautions you should do with liquid metal one of them is to protect the circuitry around the chip because while it shouldn't happen if you apply it correctly there's always a chance that some liquid metal could leak out and since I'm going to be using a vertical position people are always like oh isn't it gonna leak out more vertically it shouldn't if it's mounted correctly the problem with the series X is you tighten it underneath the board not on top of the board so potentially I might have to flip the board upside down could lead to some leakage now you can use something as simple as this and this is what I'm using today this is clear fast drying nail polish nothing special little cheap thing I got for a couple bucks on Amazon this will protect your chips around it while not allowing them to overheat so this is the trick to not have to worry about frying components now if I do happen to mess up my Xbox Series X because I will hook it up after and make sure it works and if it pops or fries and I have to quickly unplug it you see the sledgehammer that's what the sledgehammer is here for if I fry my Xbox and I screw it up live on stream this sledgehammer is taking out this Xbox Series X now I'm pretty confident in my abilities or I wouldn't be risking a system that I actually don't want to lose plus I'm voiding the one-year factory warranty I get by doing this so I also if I have any future hardware issues with this it's on me to fix it now I have a background in computer repair I used to work at TTM and make and repair motherboards and chipsets on motherboards I have worked at Geek Squad and did a lot of PC troubleshooting I have been building computers for 20 years or so 20 plus years so I've been at this a long time and I I'm pretty confident in my ability to take a part of electronics put them that together now I've never taken this apart I've only watched like two tear down videos and I didn't really pay that much attention I'm you literally using like drink caps to put screws in trying to keep them organized we'll see what happens I'm using a I fix it kit the precision bit set should have all of the all of the bits I need for this I'm hoping I also have a little pick because I'm gonna need to pick off things that are covering up some screws here on the back I think it's just two screws holding on the back plate it's going to be a crazy ride I hope you guys are in for it we're gonna be doing some giveaways all throughout the stream most of it's gonna be digital currency giveaways but it knows maybe I'll look around the room grab grab one of my gaming things that you know I think someone else might appreciate more be like hey you want to win this cool win it maybe it'll be an Xbox controller it will not be the series X well then again if someone wants the sledgehammer smashed series X so bad I could give that away to if that happens if I successfully pull this off which I think I will I do have another use for the sledgehammer but I will save that as a surprise because I'm very confident I'm gonna pull this off and not mess it up but of course not a gamer if you're not rocking the glasses all right all right so what are you guys doing we got shadow nexus we have a whole bunch of people in the chat way too many people we say hi do we're at 200 plus let's let's not waste any time let's just do a giveaway right freaking now in the chat in the chat I want you to just say I want you to say smash that X aka take a sledgehammer to it say it one time only in the chat smash that X we're gonna give away screw it $20 digital code for switch Xbox or PlayStation right now let's go heck let's throw steam in there as well you know PC gamers ain't gonna leave you up let's go smash that X type it out in the chat let's go baby smash it one time though only one time no repeats I will type out in the chat when we're gonna end it I'm gonna get this bad boy going baby I could feel the burn should I try to do the whole stream with these sunglasses on should I should I try to do the entire stream with these glasses on now if you ever see me looking over here a lot that's cuz I'm reading the chat cuz the chat is over here I will I originally had like the laptop like up here but then I like covered up too much of the camera I tried over in this corner it didn't really go so well so unfortunately I had to look away from the main camera and this camera here hopefully things end up looking clear when I start getting to work here in fact I because this is black I actually probably take out the sunglasses for at least the beginning till I get the innards out do it with the do it with the sunglasses oh by the way let's let's get this giveaway ending entries whoops whoops hit the wrong button whoa whoa whoa Nate whoa let's close that whoa whoa we didn't want to do that we want to do that there we go all right I keep clicking I forgot I have a mouse here duh I bought the wireless mouse for a reason so I wouldn't miss click all right I ended the entries I ended the entries all right our first winner tonight for a $20 e-shop Xbox Series X or I would really Xbox PlayStation Network or Steam gift card now I want to know before a winner is selected these are random right I'm not there's no bias here I'm using a bot that just randomly picked someone we're gonna use the honor system there's so many people here I can't tell if you entered twice so I'm really relying on the honor system here because my bot won't eliminate double entries it'll only enter you in once but just for the sake of the chat I don't want you guys spamming a bunch so that's why I'm trying to disqualify anyone who has entered entered that in twice also I will you know what let's just let's just pick a winner before we get into anything else are you guys ready oh I was going to say sorry the winner needs to contact me on Twitter at Ninty Prime or on our Discord server you need to contact me because I cannot private message you on here and you're gonna need to send me a screenshot of you logged in on YouTube with that username to prove that it's you all right that being said the winner is click that button baby oh are you ready only it's me read one congratulations only it's me read one is the winner of that $20 digital currency whoa what a way to kick off the stream you know how to get a hold me only only it's me real read one please hit me up on Twitter DMs are open or on the Discord server congrats $20 good winner let's go all right it's time it's time to start tearing apart the Xbox series hats trying to think what's what's good spot for the mic maybe maybe just over here oh another thing I wanted to bring up let me see here is it closer this way I'm trying to look at the camera here on which direction I need to go with it to get it best in frame I think like right here they got right up in here is a good a good in-frame shot all right so I know there's a screw underneath here before I get into this over onto this way is stream madness so any and all super chats and donations lead to drinks slash shots we can get crunk if someone hits me with a liquid death I don't know what's going to happen maybe that leads to the sledge hammer to the Xbox series X but yeah we will be drinking if you guys show support with super chats and donations donation link down in the description we're also raising money to get a PlayStation 5 I am not one of those console biased gamers that says oh hi I only play switch oh I only play Xbox I only play PC I want to play everything this generation I want to PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X and a switch so all this all the donation link stuff the stream lab stuff goes to the PlayStation 5 fund otherwise we're doing shots and shit let's just get this going I gotta find a way to get this thing off of here I'm already scuffing up my system here come on I should have grabbed a heat gun or a hair hair dryer and if you guys need me to zoom in more with this camera let me know I can increase the zoom it just decreases my work area the game of operation I'm gonna take my glasses up for this first part because I need to make sure that I know exactly where the screws are let's see here's there one underneath the sticker trying to see if there's one I know that right here there it is there it is you see a little indent maybe one there too potentially but there's definitely a screw right here I don't know if you guys could see that indent in the sticker but there's one right here under the sticker I could take a heat gun and try to remove the sticker but you know I don't care about voiding the warranty and I'm pretty sure there's one underneath this that's why I was prying at oh looks like right here now it looks like there's actually a spot if I use a flathead so let's get out the iFixit kit let's get out that iFixit kit looks like I might be able to get it out with a little flathead actual let's see here let's go with there we go there we go there's a screw can you guys see that screw ready to zoom in increase the zoom gotcha increase the zoom increase and zoom it's gonna be a little delayed let's get this okay that's max zoom I got for you guys right now maximum zoom all right so I got that screw exposed I don't know what I did with that sticker it doesn't really matter I don't care about the back of the system all right so it looks like it is that's one of those hex screws let's see here we got this is this one small enough let's see oh you want smaller than that gotcha gotcha don't worry this kit's got pretty much every size under the sun let's try this one no a little bigger alright you can go bigger let's see here a little bigger that's smaller let's try this one there we go that's the winner right there that's gonna take the big screwdriver so let's get the big iFixit one out if you break this can I have it well I'll be smashing it with a with a sledgehammer if it gets to that point so we're gonna put that in there so we don't lose it and then pretty sure that this is one right here yep got it as the stickers raising up pretty sure it's out either way even though I can't get it out behind that sticker maybe maybe we'll peel up that sticker a little bit and try to get that screw actually out I'll be conformed with the hammer a hammer baby trying to lose any of my bits here put them back every time I use them all right we got that screw all right try to remember folks I'm not taking pictures so try to remember the little black is the outside case screws we're gonna set those aside why liquid metal one the Xbox or I'm sorry the PlayStation 5 is using liquid metal so I can't let I cannot let the PlayStation be the only next-gen liquid metal cooled I say cool that's just thermal paste system out there that's number one all right now there should be a tab let's see here two screws out oh here's the back piece we'll set that over here on top of the sledgehammer let's see if there's a clip I'm not sure there's a clip on the bottom I'm not seeing a clip on the bottom you know is this a screw there to I'm pretty sure it was just two screws we're gonna poke a hole in here just to see no it's a clip but be careful yeah yeah I figured it was a clip I'm trying to see what the clip might be there's one there but I think that's just for the for something else yeah if there's a clip it has to be on the bottom I know there's a clip for this part but that's on the inside this is where I get my that's why I wonder why I have my phone here because sometimes you flashlight action to get a better look all right so all right so I think that is the clip now that I actually look at it pretty sure that thing I saw was the clip right here oh that's definitely for that thing in there okay so that clips or something else hmm you're gonna void the warranty for two degrees Celsius not just that it's for the it's for the entertainment it's for the education it's because I'm a youtuber this is content man this system was bought specifically for the YouTube channel where is that clip feel like without the screws it shouldn't be that hard all right stick a spud the seam I need a spud okay I should have thought about that ahead of time I don't have a spud but I got I got this thing that I usually use for spud is it right here progress there we go problem with this is it's starting to get rusted out but that's what I usually use for a spudger wipe off that rust from that all right so there you go that is the plate the back plate there just comes right off let's set that up here all right how you guys doing so let me see where we're positioned on camera here all right I guess I can see the camera kind of over there all right all right let's move on what we got here what's it look like for I gotta find I gotta find all the screws so I know we gotta take the face I'm pretty sure we have to take the fan out so is it the same size smaller size on that let's try this one bigger it's always like in between they're not the same sizes so like I'm going between all my different size ones I have it's gotta be this one then so if you guys can see I'll move this over here so you see what I'm doing taking out the fan all right I'm gonna put those in the same one just remember the black screws go on the inside the colored screws go on the outside kind of weird but that's just how it is put because I'm putting these two fan screws in the same little one and then we have this beast how's it going guys nice big fat one that can really really go in one spot so all right that slides out now we have to unplug I don't want to snap the connector there on the fan so we're gonna there we go so I got the fan out and this should just slide out so there is there is the fan so far this has been pretty painless taking this thing apart that's a huge fan by the way just absolutely huge it's a say who makes it Delta electronics makes it well there you go there's the fan that is now out I'll check the chat here I want to break it no I do not want to break it I am extremely confident in what I'm doing I would not do this if I was not confident when I am extremely confident in my abilities to take apart electronics the fan is thick it's a thick boy it's a thick boy people know why is he doing this for the entertainment all right so this rubber thing is just a that's a stabilizer for rattling so let's see here fan out the next screw I see a screw here so let's I don't know why I put that one thing only need a lot we just get a super chat or something did I miss it or donation we did we have a six dollar and nine cent donation from erd I can't read your donation erd or big bird it's a big bird yeah I can't read the donal message unfortunately because it's too far away it's not my the computer I'm streaming from is like way across the room so I can't read it but I do appreciate the six dollar and nine cent tip so thank you for that take a drink for that man thank you so much cracked our first drink tonight it's a Miller light don't worry we have stronger stuff if we get the shots shoddies are ten dollars and up thank you so much big bird sorry I can't read your message because it's too far away all right let's get into the next one here I can read super chat messages but I can't I can't read stream labs messages they're too far away from me all right so I got this one out here is that a different side that is a different size all right random different size screws we're gonna grab that all right so there is a clip here on the bottom we're gonna we're gonna take this bottom off I feel like I'm gonna break that clip so you guys can't see what I'm doing let me move it over here so I'm trying to get this clip here to take off the bottom so what am I gonna use for liquid metal we're using a thermal grizzly conducting that a little bit up here that's what we'll be using I've never actually worked with a thermal grizzly stuff before so I've only I've only actually liquid metal cooled one time on a PC never done a console so this is the first for me that is the clip so there's the base they said is not removable now if you're curious if you're curious about hey can I just remove the base and get better airflow the answer is nope there's no holes here so removing that bottom will not give you better airflow so people wondering hey can I get better airflow in a tight air situation if I take this off no you cannot because it's not that hard to get to the point to take this off you just take off the back and then you can take this off but and once I get this apart I'll lay out all the parts and you guys can see it up close here so yeah the reason I call it liquid metal cooling is because isn't it's actually vapor chamber cooling is what they're doing but liquid metal is very good at heat transfer to that vapor chamber so it should lead potentially like people joked a two degree difference it can lead up to a 10 degree difference I don't know what kind of difference it'll make in here I won't know till you know over time you got to let it set in a bit but yeah it could lead up to a 10 degree difference now the downfall of liquid metal is you got to replace it about once every two years and liquid metal eats eats through other metals so liquid metal this is made I think of gallium right I see if it even says what's what it's made out of they might not they want to make it a trade secret but 99% sure it's gallium and the thing is gallium eats through a lot of other types of metals like if you have a heat sink that's made out of aluminum you cannot use liquid metal basically you only use liquid metal with copper now the vapor chamber itself is either aluminum or nickel which liquid metal would eat through but they what they did is they put a plate in front of it they put a copper plate in front of it that actually makes contact so because it's a copper plate you can use liquid metal now liquid metal will eventually not necessarily eat through copper but it will it'll basically combine into copper so it'll kind of like eat into it and then meld into it and kind of mix the metals together is kind of what happens so obviously by putting liquid metal on here I am shortening the life the life of this shout out to moon man move for your $10 super chat thank you so much for that we'll get a shot in for you here so yeah it will eat into the liquid metal eat into it and it basically I basically by doing this I'm in I'm improving the thermals but I'm also giving the lifespan of this cooler I don't know probably about five six years on the cooler now in five or six years you'll be able to buy a new vapor chamber cooler to replace it in this system because liquid metal does not hurt the chip I want to be clear the metal they put on top of the chip liquid metal does not hurt so you have no worries liquid metal does not hurt the chip but it will eventually ruin the cooler so you will have to replace this cooler I will have to replace this cooler someday and when I get to the point that I'm replacing the cooler at that point I might just put normal thermal paste back on because one thing I won't have to worry about wearing the chip and the chip out as fast as other people might because I will have a much cooler chip and the benefit of cooler chips is cooler chips last longer so even though the system does not run super hot a cooler chip will last longer potentially increasing the life of the chip on here by decades potentially just got to keep replacing the cooler now let me know at the end of the stream assuming I don't screw this up and the Xbox still works let me know if you want me this is a big one let me know if you next you want me to attempt to truly liquid cool this system with an all-in-one AIO cooler I'm not gonna do custom loop cooling right now but an all AIO cooler liquid cooler on this let me know I'm into I mean to try it out crazy ideas and trying to custom fit in an AIO liquid cooler actual liquid cooler on here that would be fun especially doing that with liquid metal why not up the game cheers everyone thank you for that shot heck let me know if you want me to do that with a PlayStation 5 because why not why not do it with a PlayStation 5 I got you moonman move I read your super chat dude you said you're awesome I got you why do you think I just did a shot of some UV red baby I got you I got you all right so PlayStation 5 I can't do anything liquid metal with it but I could do the all the AIO liquid cooler what might be really cool you want to talk about ending console wars okay I can't include the switch in this because of the doubt although what did be cool okay so one thing I could do is I could hook up a cooler to this to my switch and to the PlayStation 5 and run it all on the same liquid cooling loop making all three systems liquid cooled by the same cooling loop combining the power of three systems really just combine the heat of three systems in the one giant radiator won't that be sweet I think that would be cool like who cares what console wars at that point I would have to customize a switch dock so I can have access to the back I can show you what that looks like here I actually have a donor switch here that I can kind of show you what that like looks like on the inside so basically I'd have to have the back plate off remove this fan and this and then put the cooler on there but anyways that just as short as a switch these are switch blades by the way these come off the PS5 is liquid metal already that's a big thing about that so people wondering hey why don't you liquid metal the PlayStation 5 it already has it all right so I took that off their screws on the bottom okay these screws are the same as the other one so I'm gonna put these yeah these screws are the same as the other one so we're gonna put these all right same size I'm gonna put those in the same container since they're the same size should be easy than to remember these are all the outside screws all the outside screws are colored put this in view maybe I could stand this up there you go now you can kind of sort of see what I'm doing just taking out these screws try my best I haven't done a down camera live stream like ever so forgive me if my angles aren't the greatest at this kind of first time experience doing it all right oh felt a lot of pressure come off on that screw so let's put this back easy easy does it something's moving oh yeah that's slides now all right so what's still holding it in place that is the question what is still holding this in place it just slid on me all right so we got this is connected over here that's like glued down that's weird this come off this piece has to come off because there it is oh bad a screw down all right undo that screw before we snap this thing screw all right so that's just like a little piece here that holds in the disk drive so I don't know if you guys can see here this is the disk drive right here so we're gonna unplug this say the cable this should be power all right pull the disk drive so there you have it there is the blu-ray disc you're nothing fancy it's just you know a really nice blu-ray player like you can install on a PC if you wanted to all right what we got here going on the chat let's see here could you do this shirtless like review tech USA dude it would have to be like a $200 don't know before I'd ever consider going shirtless I'm not really a fan of the whole shirtless thing but okay what's the whole minute I might simply just be that this runs okay so we're gonna have to unplug we're gonna so I'm gonna leave that plugged in down there that is for the front side USB all right so we're gonna off you guys can see what I'm doing here lift up this tape trying to preserve it because I don't have any more of that tape ribbon cable with that ribbon cable disconnected we should be able to pull this out you always got to be careful with ribbon cables because they break very easily now these do get pull tabs on which I can't see the clip on this it's where we get the old flashlight out again sorry Yulia's like my fiance's like hey can you send me some money she's like I'm home but I don't have any money she's a sorry I'm just Venmoing her some money quick let's get back to finding this clip let's find this clip there are no clip on that one is that just a hard pull that's just a hard pull watch me break this ribbon cable well I broke the pull tab on the ribbon cable it's definitely not a hard pull well good thing that good thing the pull tab comes off before the cable rip oh there it is on the side that's hard to get at home having some some technical difficulties here with this ribbon cable this one was easy to pull out this other one being a lot more difficult and now I gotta be careful because I gotta pull directly on the cable and it's not how that's supposed to come out but I didn't break it all right I don't know if you guys saw that is not how that's supposed to come out the ribbon cable is not broken nor is the thing and I can get it back in there so that that wasn't dangerous that's probably the most dangerous thing I've done today was that ribbon cable that when I get this out I'm gonna have to see how that's supposed to unclip that was not right that was not right at all now there we go so inside here you'll see this is front panel power and the eject button front panel USB and this is yeah and sync button so there you go there's the empty Xbox shell we're gonna set that aside over here whoo this is what we got here see all you guys can see this making progress this is this is going much faster than I expected it to yeah the hard part was this clip now I what happened to get it out is I bent the plastic and I got it out and the plastic snaps back in I didn't break the plastic but I'm when I get this apart I might have to see how that clip is how that is supposed to come out because I ripped off I accidentally ripped off the pole tab which is not the end of the world you don't really need a pole tab but supposed to make it easier me I accidentally I don't know where the latch is on that one but whatever it's not actually broken I want to be careful and snap the plastic so now we're gonna take out this rubber thing so I gotta remember fat side of the rubber goes against the heat sink well this heat sink is beefy this is a beefy boy beefy beefy boy oh it's like a little clamp-on mechanism right so there's the grommet there all right so now there is the heat sink now it is a vapor chamber so there's a vapor chamber inside there hard to see those since you could literally see all the way through it there it's apparently a vapor chamber so that's what they claim so that is a massive heat sink I mean that's bigger than most PC heat sinks so all right now we have to pretty much take this whole thing apart because we got to take this off and to take this off we have to get to underneath so the whole thing has to come apart that's one that's one thing I'll say about if you're gonna replace your thermal paste or you're gonna liquid metal cool that's a pain about this is you have to take the whole thing apart now this I believe is is this the this is the SSD no this can't be the SSD what is this Microsoft you know flip this up so you guys can have a screw pop out there set that screw over here and where's the new man new little bin all right so I'm not sure what this is this is is this the I'll have to think of a closer look at this piece once I get it out here it's like plugged in like a ram stick but I know this isn't ram the ram will be soldered on ram on these things is always not replaceable so let's see what this is this the Wi-Fi card maybe maybe it's the Wi-Fi card could be the Wi-Fi card I have seen Wi-Fi cards like this on PCs oh just a little plug in right there that's some padding bring that up close you guys see padding outside it is a made in China pretty sure it's a Wi-Fi chip that looks like a Wi-Fi chip to me so we're gonna go a Wi-Fi chip I'm really certain that's a Wi-Fi chip all right what else we got on here all right those are not screws I'll look around for screws here I see a clip that's not what I need right now well we got some screws on this side so I guess maybe those screws go all the way through well here let's take out get the screws over here and here the power play out we're gonna take this all apart so all right so take these screws out of the power plug first here I like that they're like all the same size so this makes it a little easier if you rub the motherboard of Vaseline you'll get 8k oh that reminds me I don't have any rubbing alcohol one second hey honey so I just remembered that I forgot to pick up rubbing alcohol and I'm in the middle of this stream and like this thing's pretty far taken apart can you stop at the dollar store hopefully it's open should be yeah all right let me know how much it is if I need to send you more money all right yep my good thing I my fiance is out and about right now so she could stop out and totally forgot the alcohol to take this thing apart this is a really long screw by the way how long how long that is that is a long not focusing lots of really long screw the others well I want to be obvious because it's only that one's gonna go in really far moon man move hits us with a 10 dollar sticker hey Nate the two camera angles are great you're welcome when you're taking apart something you know I want you to see me but then I also want you to see what I'm doing so I hope I was hoping this was gonna work out looks like things are working out good moon man I got you here $10 why doesn't need to I you know many people have probably someone tell me in the chat how many different people have asked why is he even doing this how many people have asked that how many people have asked why I'm doing it why not why are you watching why are you watching the fact that you're watching is why I'm doing it is that not explanation enough so that just removes that's the power that's the power plug here so that just comes out alright cheers moon man to watch me fry it there you go to watch me fry it and then hit it with a sledgehammer right that's what everyone's hoping they're hoping I screw this okay there's a lot of screws I'm gonna put these screws in here yeah always got to have things to put screws and separate them out there's a lot of screws on this so I want to separate these ones out these should all be the same type of screws so plus you guys can live see if I put it back together wrong then I'll presume oh I fried it and really I just didn't plug something in or I put it back together wrong you know it caught it we're good these are magnet tips so they should pick the screw right up with them I think I pulled out too soon haha that's what she said pulled out too soon um there was a $5 donation earlier was there a $5 don't know I missed I saw the Birdman don't know did I miss a super chat because we were at 115 I saw the $6 donation I don't remember seeing missing a donation let me um I'm gonna glance at streamlabs quick to make sure I didn't miss anything Mr. Pumpkin hold down the fort my man hold it down hold it down I missed honest question how do you justify no USB C and I saw the John 666 all right gotcha I missed the super chat earlier thank you for letting me know I missed a super chat earlier so Zildajon 666 asked why doesn't it have USB C I don't really own anything that's USB a anymore a lot of people still own USB a but why isn't there USB C that's a very good question and if I ever get a chance I will ask Microsoft why they did not include at least one USB C port my my iPhone here fast charges with USB C my camera this camera here is running to my is running to my computer through USB C this camera is running through a 4k capture card so my highest quality camera I got it's also where I'll be recording all my ex-gameplay I recorded some Valhalla gameplay earlier today but yeah I that's a very good question I don't know why Microsoft made that decision that's that's good I don't I honestly don't know why Microsoft decided not to do USB C I think that's a dumb move on their part not gonna lie gaming PC is kind of dumb PC gaming is kind of dumb now I don't say that man you like console gaming right what if I told you that console gaming is literally just PC parts and so when you're a console gaming today you're actually just playing on a PC and you're gonna see that as I take this apart this is just a PC it's all the says it's a PC so to crap on PC gaming is the crap on console gaming because PC's are specifically to thank for why alright we got some silver ones here try that's a block yeah it's pretty much impossible if we're not the block I'm taking out these screws whoo that's another pretty that must be a long yep it's another one of those long ones set that aside all right I'm gonna be taking out this screw right here I don't know if this is another long one or not what's nice about these silver ones is that they really only go in one way that's another long one yeah so these long ones will be easy to refine their holes so now I'm taking out here this screw right here power cable get the phone call hello hi oh that would be great yeah no I mean I don't need them need them but it is nice to clean up the edges of it yeah I want the actual alcohol yeah I'll have to do sure it'll be fine that was my fiance again asking me about the alcohol and if I wanted some q-tips and I said sure q-tips are another good thing figured I'd be all prepared for this before I start drinking but nope I'm not there's a screw here almost missed you a silver screw almost missed you over here another silver screw right here I'm gonna pull this one up and hopefully this is a little bit educational as well tonight guys do we have another $10 super chat oh the super chats are flowing tonight thank you so much moon man you've done like 90% of the super chats tonight hit me with another shot whoa shots baby PC will always be more advanced PC gaming is only 1% of what computers can do but if you're trying to game 500 for a 4k 60 up dude right now you cannot build a gaming PC that's as good as the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5 using the same technology basically you cannot buy or build even custom build a PC at $500 that outperforms this the number one argument if you're a PC gamer but you want this this probably outperforms most PCs from the last 10 years unless you had 2080 TIs this thing will outperform a lot of that crap big Navi is no joke dude AMD ain't messing around and that's the chipset that's in here is big Navi AMD ain't messing around dude it's a Ryzen and big Navi chipset in here dude and big Navi might be beating out the 3090 so I'm just saying for gaming purposes anyway I'm just saying cheers thank you so much moon man may as turn the volume of my laptop that way I'll hear the super chat better um you should have watched small ways tear down video I casually watch this tear down video in the background while I was working on another video I don't really care here's the thing I don't care what other tear down people have done okay so this is completely disconnected so that comes off there in the corner inside you guys saw that right that goes on the corner here you guys don't guide me on the way back all right so we got one more screw underneath that is this the same length as the ones in there yep same all right so what do we got that's a stiff cord all right so we got that up you have to unplug this power cable without that oh these clips a little screwed in hold on are they'll screwed in that's one way to do it got another power cable here so this is the power supply right here I don't know how many watts is this is say how many watts it is okay it is a 240 doesn't actually say huh doesn't actually say how many watts it is I'm sure Microsoft has published how many watts it is doesn't actually say all right all right we're making some progress folks 350 watts you think Brian see who's what it was 350 Edward Norton hits with the $2 super chat thank you so much Albert I got your man cheers cheers cheers time for some beer remember liquid dude if someone hits with a liquid death I don't know what I'm gonna do someone's waiting there you know what's happening there's someone lurking in the chat that's like dude I'm gonna hit him with a liquid death right as he's about to put on the liquid model that's what's gonna happen right now someone's waiting so right then to hit me with a liquid death and then I'm just fucked that's just waiting for me to fuck up the conductor not have to sledgehammer this tonight I got a backup now if I successfully do this we are gonna sledgehammer something tonight you guys don't even know I'm gonna keep it as a surprise yep and if you use the streamlabs donation link I can't read the chat that you leave with it because it's too far away but um yeah I can try to squint I still can't read it is this the same size screw no way these are the same size I'm gonna put all the same size screws together is that the same size it is mm-hmm a whole bunch of the same size screws all over this motherboard so that's good oh what's this is this another Wi-Fi chip or a Bluetooth chip one's probably a Bluetooth chip one's probably a Wi-Fi chip so I'm not sure if this is I'm not sure if this one's the Wi-Fi can you guys see here I'm not sure if this one's the Wi-Fi chip or the Bluetooth chip the one is Wi-Fi one's Bluetooth maybe the one that took out earlier was Bluetooth it doesn't really specify I know I could type in the model numbers and look it up online yeah that's definitely different that's you know it's not nope thought it was longer but it's not these are all the same it's remembering how to put this together taking this apart it's gonna be easy getting the liquid metal on is gonna be easy putting them at together that's where I'm gonna screw up I already gave away 20 bucks I'll do it there'll be more giveaways as we go don't worry don't worry though there's oh I'm gonna set this aside here how you guys doing this isn't this is intense this is intense plain breath of the wild I'm fucking with the funny glitches hey new subscriber and dude dude thank you so much are you new sub over on twitch we have a we have a twitch channel link down below you guys can throw your Amazon Prime subs that if we get to a hundred twitch subs over there we will do twitch exclusive giveaways on twitch is where I stream all my gameplay they'll be a little bit of gameplay be careful man you mess that system up none of your viewers will trust you know what you're doing sorry I think okay viewers how am I doing so far my first ever tear down into the series X how am I doing you guys have been watching it this whole time how am I doing does it look like I know what I'm doing does it look like I'm not an idiot and I'm doing this while drinking so how am I doing you tell me you guys are watching if you think I'm not doing a bad job it's cool let me know if you guys think I'm fucking this up I'm good with that I'm not even sure if this has to come off but I mean you haven't broken anything yet I mean I did pull the one pull tab off the one pull tab off the ribbon cable I didn't break the ribbon cable so I still have to figure out how that clip works I think you know what you're doing you fucking up just stop Jonathan Perez you fucking up just stop if that's your opinion that's cool personally I think I'm doing pretty good here for a first ever tear down of the system this is definitely not the type of system for beginners I would say the PlayStation 5 based on the tear down they showed is easier to tear down now this is a nice little compact system but this is but not easy to tear down at all this is complicated oh my yeah I'm saying just watching to Jesus must be about the kids shit in the other room what you'd see in Jesus about the kids shit no it was worse but they picked up some hi honey so that's my main camera this is you can kind of see well you can look on your phone and see what the stream looks like I think it looks kind of cool well my pianos is here she brought me a little little pick me up caffeine a little zero sugar cherry coke all right we got some cotton swabs we'll need those later oh it's my paper towel sitting over there somewhere I know what's in here and then we got the the alcohol the alcohol we're gonna need to take off the thermal paste safely take off the thermal paste I swore I had it I just used it earlier because we have that nice paper towel I don't want to make sure I use that so I don't break the chip I know we have more I just used it or they grabbed it because they were doing all sorts of crazy alright this came up ribbon cable it's giant ribbon cable here guys so you have to watch the stream let me know what you think if I did a good job so here's the paper towel then I'll need to take out the rubbing alcohol or take out the thermal paste this is the other parts already I know what I'm doing though don't I honey am I good at computer shit or do you think I suck I'm asking your honest opinion the masses want to know you know me better than them am I good at computer shit or no one because we have 300 people watching who are clearly interested in it to the PlayStation 5 is liquid metal cooled honey we can't let the Xbox not be liquid metal cooled Sony included liquid metal in their cooling solution we could not let the Xbox be left behind so there's the one board it's a split board now I'm not gonna undo this I could undo this the Bluetooth Bluetooth chip but I'm not going to so there you go there's a split board remembering how to put this thing on it's gonna be a bitch cuz I don't even remember how it was on in the first place but whatever we'll figure it out that's what that's a plot problem for later put my shades aside here alright so here's the giant piece of metal that everything's attached to you all right so now we got to flip this over and we got to take off the heat sink these screws are see honey this is why I got this I fixed a kit for Christmas last year for this very stream it's like the first time I've legitimately used this thing are you all fascinated you want to see what's underneath this thing yeah well on the bright side you see the sledgehammer here right yeah if I screw it up and it's fried the warranties voided so I can't do anything about it so I'm just gonna smash it for entertainment reason at that point might as well do you want to come smash it take a swing you don't think some a sledgehammer will be fun to swing around you notice how she's not pissed that I might have just wasted $500 she's like whatever we've wasted that money I'm worse so all right taking all these little screws up in the side either heatsink screws I know that scraping might like be like oh why you scraping it but that's just it's just a metal metal thing there's no board there so I'm not worried about it what the side panels off the back fan sometimes doesn't work I have to replace it so for airflow I just don't take it off because of my back fan on my computer my exhaust fan doesn't work sometimes sometimes it just stops spinning I tried I tried cleaning it and it needs new ball bearings at that point you just buy a new fan I just that's the fan that came with that case so I'm not surprised case fans that come with the case usually fail first so yeah it's a it's a future problem for now I could just take the side panel off and it's fine well the kids haven't touched it yet and it's been that way for like a year so yes it has yes it has I've not had a side panel on for a year yep yeah so that company I emailed them they were not happy there was $200 worth of stuff they sent they weren't happy and I said I'm sorry I still make a video about your game I'm sorry kids break stuff the switch game no that's still in the box a company sent me Bakudan and they sent me like $200 worth of toys with it then my kids broke it and I was supposed to feature the toys in a video so I know I can only feature the game I've heard the Bakudan games actually pretty good on switch but I wouldn't know I know nothing about Bakudan so yeah why are you cleaning up that's the kids kids clean it yesterday they didn't today because I was frustrated with Aiden's fit so all right oh oh disconnect disconnect we got disconnect oh there it is that I did not expect that so there's a giant metal plate so there's that that's in the middle so I'm gonna leave this on this side because this will be the first side we connect put that up here all right underneath this this I think is just on just literally sitting on it kind of wedged on if I remember right underneath this is a new X clamp that holds this heatsink on we folks are almost to the liquid metal stage we're almost to the liquid metal stage this is exciting all right I thought this was just wedged on you don't check oh yeah it's just wedged on I want to break the one a snap from other board oh yeah it's like bent on okay I see what you did Microsoft you sneaky bastards there's a little glob of glue as well I don't remember that being on the other pterodonts maybe I will need a little little heat gun but we're gonna we're gonna do our best here oh yeah this is moving so if you wondering these this is like thermal putty I'm not gonna touch it because I want to get my oil right oil on it let me get this out in the we guys to see it better like here so this this stuff is thermal putty is what it's called don't touch that with your fingers and get oil on it and you can just reuse it as long as you don't put anything on it you can reuse this thermal putty otherwise you should replace it with that with thermal pads or more thermal putty I don't have any thermal pads or thermal putty so I'm gonna try my best not to touch it the only cooling solution I have is liquid metal there's nothing else I can put on this thing right now I am out oh you know what I might somewhere deep in my storage I actually might have some normal thermal paste but I'm not I don't want to put thermal paste on those those by the way that stuff's on there because those parts get hot see this part here this is where the memory card goes in this is where you get those one terabyte expansion cards this is here to help conduct heat the heat goes to this this is used to dissipate heat this giant aluminum plate is used to dissipate heat so yeah so that's what that's what that's there for to help heat transfer now some people might might not know this like why do we use thermal paste so you would figure the best contact contact would be metal on metal right well you're right that's why we're using liquid metal but there's imperfections in the top of the chip and there's imperfections in the plate they're microscopic and if you try to just stick the plate on the chip you will notice temperatures skyrocket by like 20 or 30 degrees it's crazy you overheat in a hurry but if you put thermal paste on the thermal paste fills in all of the micro gaps and filling in those micro gaps and being extremely thermal conducted to transfer heat needs to really decrease temperatures and that's why you use thermal paste now metal is the best conductor so obviously the best thermal conductor to fill in gaps is liquid metal hence why we're using liquid metal we're not just taking this thing apart to take it apart and then put it back together you know Spawn Wave did that other people have done that where they've taken it apart just to put it back together I'm not here to just take this part and put it back together I'm here to improve it if I'm gonna take this bad boy apart we're gonna improve on the inside Spawn Wave said he's not gonna do liquid metal his reasoning for not doing liquid metal is completely solid the temperatures on this are fine this is where I want to give a PSA doing liquid metal isn't dangerous if you know what you're doing okay I kind of know what I'm doing so there is some danger tonight but the point is that liquid metal can fry your system if you do it wrong but it's a hell of a lot of fun to use so do I think you should tear apart your series X and put liquid metal on probably not you get dang it I just touched the putty I just said you see that I stuck my thumb I didn't want to touch the putty come on pretty sure this is just pinched on here I could feel this this part moves this part here moves this part here moves like I can unlock it but stuck on the corners which I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's oh yeah it's glued down so you see this little glob here I don't know if you guys see it I'm gonna raise this up so right here I don't know if it's focusing there's a little glob of glue so they glued down little spots around this to make it harder to take off I'm gonna do something kind of dangerous I shouldn't be using this tool I'm gonna be using this little metal pick to pick at this glue because there could be a transistor underneath that glue I'm not sure but that's why this isn't coming off which I wedged it without touching the board first because I don't want to have to try to re-solder anything it's a little bit of glue and there's other spots of it there's a spot of it right here yeah that's not soldered on is it no it's not so maybe if I just push the metal in and try to break it off that glue man I broke it off this glue here and that was broken off maybe I just gotta push it harder I don't want to break these chips here he's trying see got my finger in that thermal putty again that thermal putty is important thermal putty too gotta be careful this is where people are like oh you're fucking up Nate you're fucking up yep I sure am I'm touching the thermal putty I'm doing exactly what I told you not to do touch the thermal putty see I don't want to wedge it on the board there's no more screws on the board is it all man look at that I even got some thermal putty in this hole here now this isn't gonna hurt anything but I'm gonna wipe my hands off anyways I want to get thermal putty another place that doesn't need to be this thermal putty is coming off the edge here this is where you can say is that I'm fucking up now don't worry it'll all work out that's the hope set the screwdriver side so I'm really struggling taking off this little plate by the way this plate does nothing I don't if I break this plate this plate is nothing it's not a heat sink it's not nothing it's just meant to make repairing the system harder this plate doesn't do anything is what I'm trying to say this plate is worthless it's progress progress progress make a progress it's just the corners I just gotta get these corners off man oh here we go all right I might have a point here I can that loosen the corner oh boy this is this is what this is where we're running the problems now I knew there was gonna be a difficult part of the stair down and this plate here is definitely the hardest part other people made it something that's easy to remove the mine is not coming off and I don't want to put pressure on the board I don't want to I don't want to you know scrape any of the metal off this stuff all the transistors and wires so I'm trying really hard maybe if I just get this underneath I mean I don't really care if I bend this plate maybe if I just you know maybe I just say screw it I bend the hell out of it that's one way to do it just bend the hell out of it who cares well we're making progress doing it this way so I didn't want to do this but maybe that's how it's supposed to be done maybe just bend the hell out of it maybe this isn't that abnormal thinking this part there we go it's off so yeah as you can see all it is is all let me see if I can bring this close to you so it's all these little metal flakes just bent in so I'm gonna bend these out a little bit I can bend them back in and put this back on so it only goes on one way so that's good so that's easy to remember how to put this on so it's kind of a pain in the butt it is you know I tried removing this whole bracket thing that was my problem so alright we got it we got it we're good we're good there was a $1 super chat I missed it I missed the $1 super chat I'll scroll up scroll up hey Israel soda thank you for the $1 super chat I appreciate it cheers cheers time for some beer we good I didn't break it yet alright here we go folks it's time to reveal the chip you see this this is the new x-clamp the new x-clamp this is the new x-clamp holding down the the entire block this is all the pressure when I say I put liquid metal on I have to flip it upside down to put this clamp back on so generally to take off any sort of clamp or heat sink you want to loosen in opposite corners okay this is a general tip you want to loosen opposite corners so as to relieve pressure semi equally I do not have these all the way screwed out we're getting there can spawn wave do this drunk I have no idea I'm not drunk yet so believe it or not I am not drunk oh baby those are some thick boy screws but those are very obvious clamp screws oh wait wait oh opposite corner almost broke my own rule you want to go opposite corner for pressure reasons so you don't put abnormal pressure on the chip now you can see this thing is bending back up this is crazy how much pressure is on these is on this clamp there's a lot of pressure on this x-clamp whoa drop my tool think we're good though I don't think it actually hit me either component they could just hit the side thing here all right I'm gonna start to become Linus tech tips or I'm dropping everything all right x-clamp is off there is the x-clamp I got to remember how it goes on so it goes on this way yep all right I'm gonna take a picture quick of this because there's these little units under here that I want to make sure this goes on correctly so just to be safe on this one all right so there's the x-clamp it is off so I make sure this plastic is pressuring the right point basically all right moment of truth moment of truth did I screw it up there's are any screws missing all the screws are out on that side no more screws on this side now it's just a matter of taking the board off whoo it's blue down there pretty good I don't know a plastic spudger that doesn't help there's no more screws right looks like all the screws are off on the side too this is the moment of truth this is scary now oh it just snapped off alright so we got some more thermal pads right there that line up on the RAM so this is all the RAM modules now I believe if I wanted to go deeper so here's the here's the copper plate I was talking about this is the copper plate so we're gonna wipe all that stuff off that thermal paste off and as you can see there's thermal paste all over the place on this chip this is a really sloppy thermal pasting job so these are all the RAM chips and then underneath on this side underneath this is the SSD you know what's great about the SSD on this platform it's removable it is a standard in fact can we show you guys quick I'm sure you guys is this gonna come off nicely no it's not gonna so underneath this is a standard M.2 MVME Gen 4 SSD it is removable it is yet to be known if you could just manually upgrade this chip so to go this deep you might be upgrading your you might be able to upgrade the hard drive potentially on your Xbox Series X internally something to know alright so there's the chip we're going to set this like here first we're gonna clean this off so I got my alcohol here what am I doing I'm liquid metal cooling conducta not gris thermal grizzly my Xbox Series X I have the whole system teared down right now minus the memory module the memory module it has not been removed which is a standard M.2 which is great you know why SSDs fail you know what sucks about the PlayStation 5's internal memory it is soldered on the board the SSDs fail they all fail that means there is a limited shelf life for the PlayStation 5 because you cannot replace the internal drive and as far as we're aware you can't boot off the extra drive you can plug into it which means PlayStation 5's have about a 10-year life maybe before they're done so removable memory module very important for the lifespan so we're gonna move the thermal paste off of see it's gonna come off pretty easy in the middle you can screw up pretty hard we got some specs here so stuff's coming off pretty easy you know what's scary this thermal paste is hard already this thermal paste is hard this unit must have been one of the first line of manufactured Xbox's the thermal paste should not be this hard already this is launch day folks we have hard thermal paste on launch day I'm actually glad I took this apart just because the thermal paste is hard you don't want your thermal paste getting this hard because it means that it's not gonna last as long if it's this hard already so they definitely use some cheaper thermal paste and this must be one of the first line manufactured I'm sure I could look up with the serial number to see how early the manufacturing date was on this particular one so we're gonna want to make sure this is completely clean you get the oils off my fingers and get a new piece of paper towel here this is the inside of the machine so this is this is the heat sink the vapor chamber the bottom of the vapor chamber which is a copper plate which is why you can liquid metal cool because Microsoft used a copper plate sure all right that's pretty clean we're gonna set that aside there's the chip boys ladies and gents this comes right off some more thermal paste here or more on thermal putty there's the chip there it is this is the GPU CPU this is the power behind the Xbox these are the 16 gigs of RAM this is the power right here this is what you paid $500 for folks if you got an Xbox Series X this is it this chip right here $500 for this chip so now it's cleanup time and I am gonna need q-tips because of all this thermal paste that's on the modules the reason I need to get all that thermal paste on is be off is because I am going to have to clear coat it later before I put liquid metal on I'm not going to lick it that is not advised do not put saliva on your chip not thrown on the ground tomorrow's problem we're gonna get we're gonna get some of these cotton swabs out these q-tips get a few of these out that should be enough all right but first we're gonna take as much off the chip as we can now this is this is isopropic alcohol it is there's better things you could use to take off thermal paste but this is like what they have at the dollar store it's it's cheap it works you just want to clean off this chip this stuff is dry this I don't like putting this kind of pressure this is dry man Microsoft come on Microsoft use some some Arctic stuff or something man this is cheap thermal paste this stuff should not be this dry already I ran this system for three hours it should not be this dry that is that's a lot of that's some really hard rubbing on the chip what we're getting down there you can almost read the chip now I thought there was a somewhere on here I thought there was like a halo wasn't on the fan yeah there it is I didn't show you guys this Easter egg halo Easter egg maybe you can halo Easter egg master chief there on the fan forgot to show that earlier I knew that was there but I forgot to show it how big of a don't know for a shot of isopropic alcohol there's no I don't want to die what else I don't know what isopropic alcohol kill me I don't want to even sure man that is that is really on there it's gonna be really hard to get off the edges okay well we got our work cut off for us just to take the thermal paste off what should I prefer PlayStation 4 Xbox one I don't have a preference I didn't really spend much time with either system I owned Xbox one X I did not own a PlayStation 4 I didn't own the Xbox one X for very long I basically just played Madden on it and that was it so I I can't I don't really have a preference for the last gen I basically only participated in Wii U and switch however as my channel is called Nintendo Prime that makes sense that I only did that I am now expanding into all consoles if you can't tell so I am so looking forward to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X diving back into the old games from last generation and then all the new games from the new generation which officially began today unless you want to say the switch could technically be the first next-gen system so it's possible man let me try with a Q-tip maybe maybe I'll better look with Q-tip so there's our chip I don't know how well it's gonna show up on camera the chip says project Scarlett the chip itself says project Scarlett code name of the Xbox Series X project Scarlett this is why I don't rush out to buy next-gen consoles why yep Nick I know about the clear coding yep that is the current plan I gotta be careful with these chips here I want to get as much of the stuff off as I can because of the clear code but this stuff's hard and I don't want to pick out it with metal so I don't have any plastic spudgers this stuff is dried on bad it might actually help to have this there it's kind of like a buffer but I don't want I want the best connection possible for my liquid metal so I want to get this off all right time to run to a new Q-tip that's the thing about Q-tips when you're doing this that you go through them really quick they don't last very long oh got it off got it up see that shouldn't happen day one that shouldn't happen this is cheap cheap cheap thermal paste making me feel all the better that I'm liquid metal in this election that parking lot fine now would that hard thermal paste have been a problem in the first few years now but it could have been a problem later but I don't have to worry about that problem so and to be fair liquid metal will harden too for a little while too so it's not like liquid metal is you know you got to replace the criminal over two years so so look forward to my live stream in a couple years when I say hey let's take apart the series X and see what two years of liquid metal cooling did to a series X because I have no idea what it's gonna do because this is an this is a new system I have some theories but I have no actual idea what it's going to do we're good we got this pretty good that's you have some of that thermal putty on my fingernail we're gonna let that dry for a little bit and I'm gonna talk to you guys in the chat I got to let that dry before I can apply anything else which did I lose it where's my where did I put it the key clear coat nail polish but before I put that on I got to let it dry me put it up here no where's the center right there all right I see what you guys are saying in the chat I'm gonna crack open some caffeine some caffeine to me I hope the liquid metal doesn't drip out yeah that's always the hope I guess I can get the liquid metal open so because guys next up we clear coat and then we apply the liquid metal well everyone cheaps out on side if you ever get a prebuilt PC or if you look at the thermal paste on a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox one or an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3 all of them use like the cheapest of cheap thermal paste why is this not opening did I have a bad rip I had a bad rip I promise is usually not this hard to open this should close the alcohol before I spill it isopropic alcohol set that aside okay so I need need it but I'm hoping that I get this right on the first try so there it is come on come on am I really want to use a screwdriver to split this open you Sam maybe that's the booze getting to me gamer fuel oh there we go we got this open so inside you'll find instructions and the thing is you put the tiniest dot you barely need any liquid metal alright so you'll find some wipes some alcohol pads I am going to use one of these just to be safe in case that's the wrong type of alcohol for it so we're gonna use one of these one of these quick just to do a quick wipe this is the actual metal you'll know you'll notice it's not much but you only need like a little like if you look at this you only need like a little tiny drop of it so it's actually quite a bit of metal it's way more than you need you'll also have included in this in this particular pack these these are different than q-tips these are great for spreading liquid metal and then this is the tip this is the little tiny tip I don't know if you can see it the liquid metal comes out of what else we got we got some more oh we got a cover thermal grizzly verify code well I don't really care about that but so there we go so I believe this screws off and then you screw this on liquid metals right there now what I should do right now is take this off and screw this on okay yeah so liquid metal is good to go I just saw it we're good to go on that we're gonna take one of these wipes just to make sure I'm pretty sure it's the same percentage of the alcohol yeah it's never we're good this is 70% this is 70% so this is so so they give you pads but we're good all right you should practice dropping out a bit on a piece of paper or something yeah I hear what you're saying on that kind of make sure that you don't like to you if you put too much of this on you're in trouble if you put too much on you're in trouble when we got a little a little bit over here that I wanted so the clear coat goes on make sure the clear coat goes on good all right we're gonna do a quick $5 gift card giveaway right now it is for the Nintendo switch the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X pretty much PSN Xbox live steam or switch $5 to enter in the chat type one time do not type multiple times only one time multiple times disqualifies you type out type out you're crazy proper spelling proper your you're crazy type it out in the chat right now $5 $5 oh we see some improper English there capital Y or not won't make a difference so you're good there there we go chat's going nuts that's what I like to see all those entries you guys are awesome you guys are great hope you're enjoying the stream this is this is the wildest live stream I've ever done with multiple angles who dares me to pour soda on here do I pour pop on no Zachary but no you got all this way just to destroy the chip with some soda all right we're closing up entries here in a moment still got time shame you had to take it apart to do this because the install times are abysmal you won't be able to play anything out dude Philip I've already got like seven games installed on it so what are you talking about oh we got some more hold on I just noticed some more thermal paste stuff see good thing good thing that we're taking time for you guys to enter the giveaway so I can make sure I get every speck of this stuff that I can before I lock it in before I lock it in with my clear coat here it's gonna protect all that metal around it now it should not seep out beyond that metal stuff so we should not worry about anything out here in this range it we should only have to put a clear coat in here it should not leak out beyond there as long as I put the put the thing back on correctly the periods is qualifying me no capital letters are not required no just the proper your is required all right entries and here entries are done entries are done hit enter entries are done all right your the why you go go in old English your for it's an OJ like two hours to install 60 gig game what dude his internet sucks all right pro tip I'm gonna pro tip you guys right now maybe OJ doesn't know this so I'm gonna give him some credit he might not know this if you own an Xbox Series X and you are installing the game one obviously be directly wired in it I've had no problem with wireless but here's the thing pro tip if you have a game suspended it doesn't matter how big the game is it could be a one gig game right if you have any application or game suspended it will cut down your download times by 80 to 90 percent you need to close all of your suspended games to maximize your download time to give you an example my download times were 200 megabytes per second 200 MBS insane I've never seen that on a home console 200 but if I had a game suspended 18 20 sometimes 30 usually 18 close your suspended applications in games and you will see a massive increase in your download times pro tip there for the Xbox Series X pro tip now why my theory is the suspended games are held on the SSD not the RAM so since they put it on the SSD it slows down the SSD for writing so when you're writing to the SSD which is what a download does it slows down the download that's my theory anyways I might be wrong on that but that's the best the best theory I've come up with yeah there is some old-pace so if you're looking you guys you the camera must be doing pretty good so you guys noticed so right around here around these chips right here there's some old-paced and in between these ones here I'll try to get as much of it off as I can with a Q-tip sometimes you're just not gonna get that stuff off because you don't want to scrub super hard directly on these little these little chips around here because you don't want to end up knocking one of them off if it's not soldered on very well because then you have to get into resoldering and I do have a soldering iron my soldering iron is way too big to do motherboards so you need a different type of a solder iron to resolder chips on now I have resoldered chips on before it's not something I haven't done before but I do not have the current tools to do it so I'll lightly scrub and another thing too I don't want to get any yes yeah I'm afraid of my Q-tips are starting to peel a little I think we're gonna be fine I'm gonna come back in here make sure there's not none of the Q-tip hairs on top of the chip I'm gonna hit it I'm gonna hit it with one of these wipes let me see it was only game being put on the system so nothing was suspended he was doing a lot with the UI yeah so like yeah like when I was installing the games I just sat in the my games folder and just watch the install speeds clean wipe there just making sure we're gonna let that dry and then we're gonna go around with our clear our clear nail polish very cheap solution to make liquid metal not that big of a deal I do not work at Geek Squad anymore I never got a plus certified I got fired before then you're like you got fired yeah I made like a your mama joke to someone that I shouldn't have made a your mama joke to and they turned me in and I got fired for the your mama joke so I never got to the point to get a plus certified but I'm also in school if it helps guys I'm also in school to be a computer programmer I know a lot about computers I've been messing with computers my whole life messing with electronics my whole life I did not get fired change at their own pace no I literally made a your mama joke to someone who took offense welcome welcome to the way the world works guys you got to be careful who you make jokes to when they pay when they're a fellow employee and you have bosses above you you got to be careful you offend someone you're gone you're gone if you offend someone so what they first try to do is they move my department they took me out of Geek Squad and put me in warehousing fuck warehousing and then I made a your mama joke in warehousing and I got fired again then they just let me go I'm like this is so dumb what I do I guess it was more so like I kind of sort of quit once they moved me to warehouse because I didn't get hired for warehouse I didn't want to do warehouse I get hired for computers but you hate going computer computer programming classes around that bad alright let me take a look here alright it's dry ice probably alcohol dry pretty quick now I do want to be careful to not get any of this on top of the chip because you do not want to coat the chip that's gonna affect the thermal you want to get it just on all the elements around the chip so this I can already tell sucks because this is a cheap one and the bristles are really spread out so I got to be a little careful here when I do this so sorry if I'm up and covering the camera I want to make sure this is done correctly but I'll do a couple strokes here where you guys can see what I'm doing oh I got to pick a winner sorry I didn't pick a winner yet where did I end the entries at I gotta get a winner pick for that five dollar all right there it is all right you guys ready for the winner of the five dollar e-shop or well whatever e-gift card for any platform now when you win contact me on Twitter at Ninty Prime or DM me off of our discord server all right here we go because I can't DM you on YouTube all right and the winner is smug suck smug suck congratulations on a five dollar winner five dollar winner winner sure to contact me on Twitter or on discord and I will get you your code for whatever platform you choose heck does Google Stadia have a $5 once if you're a Google Stadia got god damn I just spent it don't want to have saliva I don't know if he's here that's what that's the one thing I have no idea if he's here I assume he's here he just entered mr. pumpkin just chilling mr. pumpkin just like dude I'm waiting he's waiting for me to break this this SOB he's waiting for me to break it all right we're gonna we're gonna do a couple strokes here where you guys can see I don't know how well you guys can see that I'll try to go on the other side here where you guys can see it a little better so this is just clear fast drying nail polish and what you're doing when you coat the chips is if any liquid metal leaks out it won't touch the chips thus even if I screw this up and the liquid metal leaks I shouldn't have any shorts or any poofs you know where the metal you know where the transit a transistor explodes basically none of that should happen if I do this correctly so I make sure you know when you can put on a bunch of this it doesn't really matter it's not gonna insulate it and make it hot these chips don't really get hot all the heat comes off this middle chip so you don't have to worry about kind of globbing it on as long as it does not get she's gonna take longer to dry but this is fast drying so it's supposed to be pretty quick it hit touch the side don't care this is a very important step so I don't want to mess this up think we're good now we got to let that dry now we got to let that dry so now we have to let that dry and then we'll be liquid metal liquid metals correct your mama so fat every time she turned around it's about that there's a yo mama so fat man takes me right back to high school or two we're almost to the point folks liquid metals next I just gotta wait for that to dry gotta wait for it to dry it takes a little bit to dry supposed to be fast drying it's supposed to be like oh dries in 10 seconds it doesn't dry in 10 seconds I can already tell looking at it it's gonna take a little bit granted that's on nails not on a PCB board but so what will liquid metal do exactly so liquid metal is the best thermal conductor there is in terms of thermal paste so thermal paste goes on this chip and it fills in any imperfections which just for the fact there's text on it means there's imperfections just in the text and then imperfections on the actual copper plate so there's a micro imperfections that thermal paste fills in so you get maximum thermal conductivity from the chip to the heat sink now the thermal paste it comes with is probably fine for a while or if you get to this point you can put on some arctic silver or something that'll do great to and be fine liquid metal though will always be better liquid metal is the best thermal conductor because metal is just the best thermal conductor there is now liquid metal has drawbacks one it's got it's got roughly you know if you if you have your system on 24-7 it's got about a two-year lifespan before you need to remove it and reapply it is a bit of a pain to remove but usually it'll flake off a little bit and then it'll actually become liquid again because it's just gallium gallium becomes liquid again really quick but anyways you can clean that off the hard part about cleaning it off is when you clean it off you tend to get little specks of it on the chips but there's ways to clean that off as well and then you got to reapply another thing that that liquid metal will do it won't eat through the chip but it'll eat through the it won't really eat through a copper plate but it'll kind of eat into a copper plate and then kind of kind of join with the copper so you'll see you know when I take this apart in like a year right and let's say oh let's see what a year of liquid metal did to the system you'll see that it'll be like kind of embedded into the copper and I won't be able to get all of it off that doesn't mean it's it's fine I could just put normal thermal paste on at the time or I could put more liquid metal on so there'll be a follow-up stream where I take it apart and you see hey let's see what liquid metal actually did to this after a year so and who knows I might be the first person in the world to look at medical but if you want to know what the difference is between like saying using a good arctic silver which there's a lot of good thermal paste with arctic silver is one that's well known or using liquid metal you could see up to a 10 degree drop on your chip temperatures by using liquid metal up to a 10 degree drop for thermal paste that is huge that is a massive difference up to a 10 degree drop so the do you need the drop on this particular chip you know the chip's gonna eventually burn out and the cooler you can keep a chip the longer the chip will last so it will help what's eventually gonna happen is the heat the heat sink is going to go bad eventually you know I'm predicting it'll be about five years before the heat sink goes bad and then you have to replace the heat sink but the heat sink I right now it's expensive because the system just came out to buy a replacement heat sink I don't think in five years it's going to be that expensive to buy a replacement heat sink so I'm not too worried about it plus I might liquid cool this bad boy later anyways and I won't even use that heat sink anymore and the PlayStation 5 uses liquid metal for people like liquid metal play ps5 is using liquid metal guys there's a reason they use it all right let me check this let me check the dryness on this still not dry yet still not dry yet we gotta wait people like I heard someone say put it out put it out I gotta wait it's not it's not dry yet I gotta make sure it's dry before I put it in in case any leaks off so it doesn't mix in on mix in with it and get on the chips sony was developing liquid metal for two they didn't develop liquid metal liquid metal has been around for a while it does not last forever it does not last forever I guarantee you the liquid metal in the PlayStation 5 I don't know you're gonna see any major problems in two years but I would say god you hit the five six year mark you might start noticing temperatures are climbing because the metal became too hard and isn't filling in the gaps anymore so I would say in about five years you'll really see some issues of PlayStation 5 heat problems with liquid metal PlayStation 5 is not a system built the last I want to be clear about this because it uses liquid metal and because it takes the SSD the internal SSD and solders it to the board like Apple does it means it is not a system meant to last it's not going to be the NES working 30 years later within a 10 year span the PlayStation 5 you buy day one will not work anymore I'm just being honest with you it will not work anymore heck maybe when I get my PlayStation 5 which I'm not getting into this week guys I couldn't get a preorder in and I'm kind of broke so that's why we're fundraising for one but I am definitely scared of what happens if I get my PlayStation 5 and I take that liquid metal off and I put on Arctic Silver they're all paced because why did PlayStation 5 go with liquid metal the chip runs slower why are they going with liquid metal my theory is their heat sink is not good enough everyone was like look how big that heat sink is but it's not a vapor chamber it's just a piece of metal it's not a vapor chamber vapor chamber cooling is significantly better there are actual smartphones that use it vapor chamber cooling is insanely better than just a chunk of metal so I wonder I deeply wonder if they were having thermal issues when they used normal thermal paste and that's why they went with liquid metal why it sounds like the person who designed the look of the system did not give a crap about thermals or anything else he wanted to design something that looked cool so there's that how do you just upload if you're live right now I didn't just upload it now last upload was like five hours ago I didn't just upload did you just get a notification YouTube might have just sent you a notification all right I think it might be time let me look make sure my applications even you can see it we're pretty good I think we're safe I think we're safe all right the moment you have been waiting for liquid metal I'm a little nervous we got this you just put off the tiniest bit of liquid metal we're gonna give her nuts we're gonna give her nuts right now should you be worried about um no a lot of PlayStation 5's weren't oh I'm sorry a lot of Xboxes weren't shipped until yesterday and people got them today but there's been canceling all right I got it I can't I got to concentrate here I got I got my liquid metal very tiniest of dot you don't need hardly any and you'll see why when I start spreading it and it looks all shiny you'll see it was hardly any my hand's shaking it's a $500 system right here this this is this isn't even the hardest part it's gonna be putting the heat sink back oh now here we go that might be too much that might be too much we'll see I'm gonna wipe this off I'm gonna put this tip away I'm gonna put this on I might have put too much on can you guys see it can you guys see it see that little silver dot that's the liquid metal I might have put too much it's a little bit bigger than I was hoping the little dot I have on this thing is what I was hoping for but let's spread this around and let's see how bad it is I might have to I might have to try to reapply you see how shiny it's getting you see that see how shiny it's getting and you want to try to get it applied evenly across the whole chip you don't want any like pools or puddles and that's why you don't want to use very much because it's very easy to get pools or puddles with this and that's when you get leaking out so you're kind of like brushing it and painting it but you're also trying to spread it out even all the way to the edges without leaking it out and I can already tell I'm going to have a pool and you can't use q-tips because you will get hairs on the chip so I'm going to have a pool I'm going to try to get the pools close to the middle as I can though the whole chip's covered so I am going to have a little bit of a pool it's always good if you have a little bit of a pool to try to get it in the middle there you go that is liquid metal liquid metal everyone this is what the little q-tip looks like it's not really focusing but all right you ruined the series x oh no it broke it all right we're gonna take this little alcohol pad we're gonna wipe off the heatsink quick with it just to be sure all right separate some men from the boys liquid metal all right here we go here's the heatsink going back on I'm going to keep I'm going to try to line this up right because you really want to get this on straight you don't want to jiggle this because you don't want to move the liquid metal around so you definitely don't want to jiggle it so you want to get this on right the first time it's on it's on now the scary thing is I don't know if I messed it up and it's spread I won't know until I put this back together if I messed it up and it's spread now we're gonna turn this this way because this is how I took it apart was this way I need to look at my picture quick where's my phone this is the scary part folks well scary part now is turning it back on but I gotta get the I gotta get this bracket back on where's my phone what I do on my phone Nate Nate where's my phone oh it's on the floor got it all right I gotta look at the picture here okay so this went on like this god I need a drink I need a drink can you use semen instead of liquid metal no no you cannot semen is not a very good good conductor and it would leak out um all right god Tony the tiger approves now here we go now we're putting the pressure on this is where the liquid metal could spread out it's putting the pressure on so we got that in we're gonna get all four corners in before you put any real pressure down oh man the pressure on this clamp is real holy crud that is a high pressure clamp right there so there's already pressure on that clamp that is the x clamps man there's nothing really wrong with the x clamp design it's just very pressure sensitive versus normal pcs normal pcs like the back plate isn't like this the coolers are designed a little differently but xbox for whatever reason sticks with this thing design which there's nothing wrong with it it works you know bottom line is if if it ain't broke why fix it you know that that's the way that oh no nothing got bent i was making sure i didn't bend a pin there we're good um i f'd it up already how how did i f it up this is this is the next step i don't want to tighten it down all the way how how'd i f it up what i do wrong pretty sure i didn't f it up yet think at this point we're still safe do you feel the xbox dude the series x is built like a tank dude this thing this is maybe one of the most well built consoles i have seen yet in terms of build quality they used high quality parts no lie they used very high quality parts that heatsink these boards these clamps i can even tell by the bluetooth and the wi-fi chips they used very high quality parts this system costs more than 500 dollars for microsoft the manufacturer is what i'm trying to tell you they're losing money on these systems so is playstation but until i take it apart i won't know how much money all right clamp is down give one little last little no i want to strip the screws clamp is on remember microsoft watching this right now all right so this part that i had such a pain taken off should be much easier to put back on and then you gotta kind of i guess i don't really care if it's perfect but i'm just kind of bending these things back in that i bent out that's back on that's back on um high quality parts we add something that you think it needs uh it does no no no guys the s by series x doesn't need liquid liquid metal i did not add something this series x needs this is not a need now what goes on next this i feel like it's this i'm making sure nothing's on this side that i need to know i'm pretty sure it's just this something's not right when someone mentioned i messed it up it might be right something's not right hold on hold on something's not right and how i put this back together hold on something is not right and how i put this back together i'm i'm probably have to reapply that liquid metal something's not right and how i put this together hold on i gotta think here that's what i'm missing this i forgot to put this on that's what it is damn it yep for all those chips over there all right i might have to reapply i have to take it apart guys it won't go back together right it won't go back together right i i have to take it apart i have to take the cooler off well bright side we'll get to see what happened to my liquid metal that's what you were on about yeah yeah i noticed that as soon as i went to put the plate on i'm like wait a second there's nowhere for the stuff the screw into and this was flush that's what it was flush with i caught it i caught it see putting back together is always the difficult part when i don't have pictures of everything i only took one picture in this whole take apart session well we'll see what happened to the liquid metal maybe i won't have to reapply if i did it if i did it really well maybe i won't have to reapply maybe maybe i got lucky and won't will not have to reapply we'll see i thought i put too much liquid metal on anyways but i guess now we'll find out how badly i messed up the liquid metal don't help this guy buy a place to survive no one has to help me buy place to survive i can buy one for myself in the spring but if i you know all of it's to support the channel so add a drip don't be scared pot pies are epic is it because i made my first real mistake at least it was a minor mistake wasn't like uh oh my god i broke my platform mistake and i caught it before i moved on so not too bad for someone who's had a couple shots yeah it happens not not a huge deal this isn't the worst mistake i could have made so out of all the mistakes i could have made this is not that bad but i have a good spread oh i have a good spread i do not need to reapply i have a good spread yeah baby i don't need to reapply we're good we're good see wasn't even a major mistake so these thermal this thermal stuff here um goes on these chips here so that that was the mistake i made so this goes on like this and that's the mistake i made yes baby i don't need to reapply i'm so happy oh man i do not need to reapply got lucky got lucky i don't need to reapply i think that this is it's not good dude drinking drinking adds to the excitement it adds to the what if scenario what happens if you take apart xbox series x by drinking by drinking what happens if you take a take apart xbox series x while you drink with drinking in fact i didn't know the shot don't worry i got myself you guys ain't gotta do anything no one has to do anything i i will take care of my my shot myself because i need one that's a that's a mistake that needs a shot it needs a shot it just needs one period and i hope all you people at home that are of legal drinking age are about to take a shot with me please say you're about to take a shot with me please put the blues please say you're all about to do a shot with me if you're of legal age drink responsibly but bam let's get a shot in the drinking calm you down and not to keep your hand steady that's possible too my hands were shaking at one point anyone who is of legal age raise a glass i just super chatted myself and gave google three bucks raise a glass let me get the revolver not that kind of shot oh by the way if my xbox series x turns on i have some celebration skittles my favorite candy some celebration skittles if i pull this off cheers to myself cheers to all of you for watching enjoy all you legal age drinkers all you non-legal age have a shot of juice or something or a water water is better for you one thing i did notice when i took it apart is the reason i was okay is that i did not tighten this clamp enough i really need to tighten this clamp not a lot more but i need to get a few extra turns in it so that was one good thing about taking it apart is that i noticed that hardly any liquid metal make contact with the copper which means i did not have a very good connection because i didn't put enough pressure on the copper plate now it's possible because i was missing that chunk of metal that could have affected it as well but we're gonna we're gonna make sure these clamps are extra tight now so because hey we won't be taking this thing apart well i was i was gonna say we won't be taking it apart for a year but i mean we might be putting a we might we might actually liquid cool this son this son bitch with an aio cooler or do we go do you go crazy and make a custom nintendo prime loop with blue liquid you go that crazy by the way if this successfully works i will have a a video made of this where i will be clipping out like sections of this and speeding up some things if you notice i don't have any pop-ups that happen in the video feeds because i am going to be doing that as a standalone video and adding some commentary after the fact for for me watching after and seeing mistakes i made things i would do different if other people want to try doing this you know if they want to replace the crappy thermal paste even and not you know not with liquid metal but with something that's much safer um get some tips plus if you want to do other things like potentially try to upgrade that that uh the internal storage i don't know if that works that that's another thing i can maybe test out sometime i just don't have the spare m.2 drive i broke my bit that's not good i snapped my bit i need this to and i still screw in snap my bit now i can still take this off with the pliers i can still unscrew that with a definitely snap my bit that's not good no where is my 3ds teardown kit i have a separate 3ds teardown kit that has extra screwdrivers for this i don't know if you gotta tell in there i broke the bit off where's my iFixit kit all right i've never had that happen with an iFixit kit but we'll see we might we might be able to salvage this the thing is all of them use the same bit okay i can still use okay this bit still works all right we're good i did snap off the tip i did snap off the tip of the bit but the bit still works so we're good we're good the bit still works we're good the bit still works the bit still works gonna have gonna what i should do is get a couple kits in case that happens you know i've snapped off i mean the type of screws they use are so i think we're good all right i'm gonna flip this back this way and we're gonna put all the screws the screws don't go through do they no we're gonna put all the screws back in to this hopefully so the bit still works maybe oh yeah it still works oh snapped it off can we get an f in the chat for this bit f in the chat for this bit i'm gonna have to get a new a new bit dang it i think this is the only one i have that fits too oh man thank you iFixit the thing is iFixit screwdrivers are great i've never had this happen with an iFixit kit i've never of course i was really torquing the hell out of it i was going well beyond what the kind of torque you're probably supposed to do but hey at least it still works technically but before i if to tear this down again i'm gonna get a new mini set besides i need to get a plastic spudger anyways it'd be much safer if i had a plastic spudger probably should put this where you guys can see what i'm doing because i put these screws back in try to organize these screws in order on my desk but we'll see if i did it right the xbox is too powerful it snaps bits bro well we'll see if this thing turns back on that's gonna be uh that's gonna be a big hey does it turn on and does it overheat it's not gonna overheat i'm not worried about that but does it turn on i think the better question is can i put it back together yeah it's much harder with the bit snapped off oh my god i can't believe that it broke that bit you could still take that because it's a giant thumb screw you could take a pair of pliers and still unscrew it so i can still take that off next time i take it off i will probably just replace it with one that doesn't have a broken bit in it replacing this stuff isn't hard so it's just a little little cheap cost a few cents on amazon they get a whole new screw set you can get a whole new screw set for xbox series x for like a dollar fifty it's really cheap so not a big deal that the the tip broke off in it just that sucks this is the primary tip for the entire system but at least it still works i just can't over torque again because it snaps one more time i don't know if there'll be enough left to screw the rest of this back together we have another extra one did i miss one oh yeah i got one more to go you don't think that broken bit can fall out it could it won't really do much if it does because i'll i'll show you why it won't do much if it does so what will happen is the broken bit is right here if it falls out it's going to sit in this corner of this thing right it's going to sit in this corner and because this thing sits in here like this it's just going to sit there it's not going to do anything it won't hurt the system so i'm not i'm not that worried about it i was worried about it i would drill it out i'm not kidding i would literally drill it out if i was worried about it but i am not worried about it i'm not worried about if i was worried about that little bit you could drill it out but i'm not gonna drill it out we're good we're good much better much better fit all right making real progress now we're making some real progress putting this back together all right so i know this goes on like this just like that where does this go wait no this is put on later this this is the one of the wifi or the bluetooth chip that gets put on later um feel like this no that doesn't go on yet uh where's that black plastic piece where did i put you well this thing this thing goes on this thing goes on like right here picture goes on like this yeah there we go that goes on like that okay all right i'm looking at this and to see how it goes back together where's the power supply this is the shroud this is the shroud i think the shroud goes on first so i think this goes on first where does this go shadow colossus let's go nintendo prime you got this thank you man no i'm like where the hell does this go i have an extra plate just sitting here where the hell does this go i'm pretty sure that this just goes on like this or i'm sorry like this the other way around like this where the hell does this extra plate go is it going the other side oops i forgot this not screwed on where the hell does that go no definitely doesn't go on the other side so where does this plate go does this plate go like this where does this plate go guys you remember where this plate goes i'm gonna take a drink for that cheers or does this plate go on the other side of this board come on let me lift this board up the plate go over here no it doesn't look like it goes anywhere you need to watch the stream in reverse where does that plate go maybe it doesn't go on yet do we keep putting it back together and assume this plate goes somewhere else because i feel like once this is on that's it i feel like that's it for the main components where does this plate go what do you cover it doesn't go on the other side does it go on the side of this no it doesn't go on the other side of that no so what does this cover what does this cover guys you guys remember this plate what does this cover up is it like oh it's got to be here hold on got it we got it we're good it goes here got it it's like a puzzle it's like a puzzle everyone all right we're gonna put this back in we plugged our first ribbon cable back in we got power over here all right plug in power back in to the other board come on come on come on you want to go in where's my where's my poker here's my poker you want to go in i think it's in all right this covers up this part so we'll fold this down like that okay this goes into here this is for the disk drive this goes down like this all right what are these up over here i feel like these are up in here make us a progress guys we're making some progress there we go that feels right all right now if i remember right we have all these black screws a ton of these little tiny black screws if i did this right pretty sure oh and then we have some of these silver and long ones the long ones so i think this one went in the corner oh yeah that's definitely a corner screw so hard with the broken tip that's what she said oh my god is someone offended by that am i about to get canceled on youtube someone about to cancel me for saying that's what she said because i didn't go with like some gender neutral thing that's what whatever orientation you prefer said if i was using the wrong i will fuck it up oh boy well moment of truth is coming a little bit later here guys i'm thinking about an hour am i like 11 30 i'm gonna screw this down huh one of these had a really long screw with this one oh yeah it's definitely that one one of them had a really long screw they had silver screws on these other ones i can't even open an xbox controller without fucking it up mad respect yeah dude i don't think i fucked anything up yet i broke a tip over tightening the thing is i didn't feel like i tightened it that hard that's the weird thing but dropped in there but you know what it happens not the first time i broke in the tip so first time i broke in and i fixed the tip but hey this this tip still technically works so but i do want to get a backup one in case if it breaks one more time i don't think this type of work anymore you know we're just screwing we're screwing down the little power plug hello you just got back from homework welcome buddy how's it going i told you guys this is gonna be a long stream at the beginning i told you there's still more giveaways to go to at least one more you know plus sledgehammer action stay tuned for sledgehammer action at the end of the stream because if i mess this up the series x is getting sledgehammered so cry cry some more all right is this see whatever wherever this one goes whatever hole this one goes in no long one let's see here oh it definitely goes there because i had one more long screw well definitely goes there because this screw falls all the way in that's nice about these long ones you can really find where they go pretty easy because you know they're all they're the only thing that's going to be dropping in and it goes all the way down what you're gonna do if it breaks what am i gonna do to breaks you see this i'm gonna sledgehammer it i'm gonna do it on this desk though i don't want to wake my kids up but i got cement and carpet over here that i'm gonna turn the camera and i'm gonna be bam i'm gonna sledgehammer the hell out of it if i broke it but don't worry there will be a sledgehammer ending one way or another all these little black ones going now all over the place there's a ton of them no political stuff yeah please keep politics out of here guys we're here just to to to shoot the shit about video games and enjoy a weirdly weird stream where i am liquid metal cooling and xbox i already got the liquid metal on so question is did i break it we'll find out once i get it all back together it maybe i break it putting it back together i will say this is definitely not an easy take apart and put back together this this is for advanced users only this is not something i would suggest you just go home and decide oh i want to i want to take apart my series x and blah blah i mean more power to you if you want to try you know you don't have any experience with electronics say i have years of experience so so more power to my fiance even has doubts in me right now because she hasn't really seen me take apart and put together stuff like this before she's she's seen me build a computer but building a computer is a lot easier than this i'm going to be honest it's really easy to build a computer this is this is much more difficult um you're enjoying the hell out of the content thanks i hope you're all enjoying how you guys like in the stream this is a very different kind of stream and i really hope you guys are enjoying it i would like to do more unique streams like this come up with some unique ideas um to do these longer streams where where i'm doing something that other people really aren't doing so liquid metal on this you know do i liquid metal the switch next i mean i have a working switch right here do it do i dare try to liquid metal cool it and i can even test it first this switch technically turns on i could test it on this one so maybe i liquid metal a switch next since i have some liquid metal maybe um i don't know beyond liquid metal like other ideas you guys have any anything else besides taking the aio to this stuff because i'm definitely going to aio i don't know if that's big enough i think one of these screws are probably going to no it's all black screw that's right it's black on black i don't remember black on black um switch will melt it won't melt i missed the donation was it uh uh don't don't don't know let me go check uh we'll check stream labs quick i don't want to miss any donations or super chats stream labs big bird hit me with a ten dollar don't know using the stream labs link supporting getting a play station five thank you so much man where is my uv cherry here we go got it uv cherry baby haven't had a liquid metal a liquid metal a liquid death yet thank god cheers oh i got a liquid death right now i don't know this thing's going back together if i can't get it back together that's a sledgehammer everyone's waiting for this thing not to turn on you're all here all 270 whatever of you guys are here waiting for this thing not to turn on at the end so i have to hit it with a sledgehammer forget problem solving why it won't turn on sledgehammer it is gonna straight up forgot to plug in a ribbon cable won't turn on sledgehammer think i'm kidding if it does not turn on that's it that's it that's all she wrote so i don't want black on black it was black on black screw that's definitely not a black that is is that a long screw yeah that is a corner piece of course that the long screw so i swore that is it not this screw it's gotta be this screw that's way too long taking these guesses with screws kind of sucks thought i organized my screws better damn it that's another corner screw that's gotta be one of these long ones what's liquid death tequila so for those who don't know out of all the alcohols out there it takes a single shot of tequila to mess me up it hits me in about 15 minutes and i won't be able to see straight i won't i don't know if i should tell you how bad it gets not the long screw it gets bad it gets bad i haven't had i think i've had one liquid death in the last year on this channel one hundred dollar dono if i forget to put a screw in no no no no no only if it doesn't work it's not if i forget to put a screw in i get want to be funny if i get to the end and i have like half a dozen screws and i'm like uh well does it turn on oh turns on we're good maybe hilarious have i been doing good by the way with the top with the top down camera you guys like in the top down camera have i done a good job or has like a lot of what i've done been off camera i'm trying to i kind of have a general idea of where the camera is pointed so i want to know have i done a good job with that top down so you guys can kind of see what's going on you guys like understand what's happening as i put this stuff together and take it apart or is it like really confusing genuine question genuine question like has that top down camera been useful to you guys have you have you learned anything zoom out a tad bit well some people want me to zoom in so they could see more of what's going on um pcs are harder to build these days getting the power supply to fit as a nightmare i've never had a problem you know what your problem is philip you don't build with amd do you you get a rise in the stock cooler is all you need that thing is simplest to install and power supplies aren't that bad what kind of pc case are you building in that's about the pc case are you building a shitty pc case all right i have a lot of extra screws it scares me they have i got all these tiny screws now i know that these screws go into something else i just don't know what i feel like i have way too many extra screws at this point but all the screw holes are filled filled there all the screw holes are filled on this maybe not maybe not maybe all the screw holes aren't filled on the side maybe maybe i was too quick to judge because there is a screw hole right here but wait something must go here so there's something screwed down there because if i put this in this won't go in all the way i could literally do it with my hand that will not go something goes here something goes here something gets screwed into this spot maybe that's where something gets screwed in all right let's get our remaining let's get our remaining pieces here so we have the fan still get the glasses on at this point yeah all right so so we still have a fan the screw back in we have this we have with it has one screw on it oh this this part we forgot this all right where did this go again i feel like it was on the side somewhere hold on let me look at the connection oh yeah that was on the side um right here got it we got it we got got it's a wi-fi or bluetooth chip chip goes right here got it we're good we're good we got that i remembered now is it these screws that screwed in i feel like these screws are too small let me look it was no there's only two of those no that's for something else two of those no no it has to be these little screws based on what i have because three screws it's gotta be these i guess we'll find out put them in and see what happens almost forgot one of the key chips on here what it turned it on it what it turned out but it might not have wi-fi or bluetooth they didn't have wi-fi i might not have noticed to be honest uh broken tip i'll turn this on the side so i'm installing this little thing that kind of looks like ram a little bit but it's not ram these little screws i feel like it has to be these little screws god dang it okay liquid metal go away it's gotta be this little screw oh yeah a little screw it is we're good he will be selling this at the end of the stream to someone on chat you will get the honor of turning it on and seeing if it works no no no this is this is my xbox series x i plan to use it to play games on twitch for those who don't know i put all of my games that i play are on twitch now i will play a game briefly at the end of the stream you guys can pick which game i play i will tell you right now my best game is madden i'm like a pro madden player i'm legitimately good at madden you want to see me be good at a game have me play madden um you want to see a next-gen game i don't know up to you the gears five tactics which has next-gen upgrades we can do assassin screw ball hola i have that already installed on here assuming that it turns on might take me a moment because i have to run it to my capture card over there and it won't be in 4k because i'm not streaming in 4k on youtube so i'm just gonna hook it up to my 1080p capture card i do have a 4k capture card 4k 60 uh my this this camera this camera up here is plugged into it right now but i can certainly get the 1080p card going just to just to show you show it off a little bit but we'll see or maybe i'll just not do that i have no idea that's in so we got that in i feel like this thing's ready to insert even though i have all these extra screws they must go somewhere else so i think we're to the point we bring this over okay now how did this get inserted this went like this wait where's the disk drive though all right this went like this so i'm pretty sure this went in like this we had what a new subscriber a new follower thank you all right so let's let's let's get this organized here where's the bottom so this goes like there are pegs in the bottom here goes in i know where this goes i know where this goes there we go that's in the pegs we're gonna get the screws in the bottom first the thing is the screws on the bottom are this i know all the outside screws are these colored screws so i'm confused right now why i have so many extra screws i have a lot of extra screws guys now i can't show you this part where i'm screwing this in because uh it'll fall out i gotta get the bottom screwed in here but i know these are multi-colored screws because all the outside screws and it's the outside screw is multi-colored there's that another multi-colored screw we have told you where the extra screws go under the power supply amist under the power supply okay hold on thank you i i dude there's 260 people in this chat and i've been drinking give me a little break give me a little break come on guys give me a little break there's gonna be mistakes made there's gonna be mistakes made we're good we're good what matters is the end product we are not at the end product yet i can pull this out still i can pull this out still all right because under the power supply you say all right well unscrew the power supply and we'll see what what uh what screw spots we missed we're good what good i'm not mad i can't follow the chat i can't follow the chat at all times guys the chat is off over here the xbox is over here so it'd be different if the chat was right in front of me but then it covers up the camera so it isn't perfect but his is perfect and you can find out if so if someone wants to do a hundred dollar dono or super chat i guess you can find out how awesome i am i'm putting this together on tequila tipsy prime no i'm i'm not that tipsy yet am i feeling it a little of course i'm feeling it a little bit but i'm i'm i wouldn't say i'm tipsy tipsy would be a misrepresentation oh i see what you're saying i see a couple screws underneath i see all right we're good i see some but is there a one two three four five six seven extra that feels like a lot of extra screws but we'll find out the system probably would have worked without these screws by the way i don't think these screws were like needed so i don't think these were necessary screws i think these are precautionary screws how would you stand against 190 proof moonshine well i have drank two full glasses everclear straight at a party and survived so just to put it in perspective granted i was a lot younger than i am right now oh there's a ton of them under there all right all right all right we get them all in without having to take any more off there's a ton of them so yeah definitely the extra seven go under here so there's one here let's get this locked down here we got this we got this so phil spencer you're watching this stream right so when this goes wrong you're just gonna send me a new one just so i can do the same thing all over again so i bricked my first attempt let's try it again as the whole stream is like god you're crazy and they're waiting for sledge hammer number two i'm just grinding it's a plastic here by the way for anyone who's like what the hell's going on why am i here in that grinding it's kind of flexing a little i'm gonna loosen that i feel like that's over tightened that might be one of those like slots that kind of doesn't stop and just keeps going um okay so there's one here we got this i thought it was weird that i was getting like dude i don't all these screws were gone at this point if i remember right it's because there's all these screws under here they're not i feel are unnecessary but they're there so we might as well put them in the box station series x please tell me the stream is gonna end soon no is my is it put that together yet is it turned on then no it's not ending soon my prediction is i would have this hitting the power button at 11 30 central standard time that's in 38 minutes so i kind of put some pressure on myself to give it the 38 minutes to get this thing back roughly back together do i think it'll take 38 minutes i don't i don't actually know that it'll take me 38 more minutes to get it together but hey i forgot these screws so this is also another reason why if this is your first time heck if you're experienced like i am you should take pictures every step of the way you should take pictures and reference your pictures that way you remember what you did and probably shouldn't drink like we definitely shouldn't drink while you do it but i'm adding some extra challenge today where we have a problem screw one in crooked it's gotta come back out hopefully we didn't ruin that screw spot i mean if i can't screw that spot down it's not the end of the world but it's because i have to bend this up further i know there was a screw in that spot i know that i'm looking at this i'm am i missing screws now i feel like i'm missing screws i feel like the cake is a lie the cake is a lie everyone screw these in my hand no i'm not missing a screw there so maybe i'm not i guess i'm good now that i'm looking at the screw configuration i'm good i thought i was missing one screw but i'm not we're good we're good we got this maybe we don't have that last one we'll see we'll see how well that last one wasn't we Gucci color the screws to mark when you're 15 more well they are colored a little bit but you know whether or not that color coding is good enough for me like i knew all these black ones went into the motherboard all the little ones i put in here were motherboard screws so i knew that much that's why i put them in there they were all the same size they were all motherboard screws my memory where they went all right so no so that's outside screws these inside screws get threaded get threaded i don't want to take this whole thing apart just put this one screw in on this plate that i didn't even realize when here for a bit let's try another method let's shove the screw on here and see if i can get it to right there we go all right we're good whoo a little a little force in there we got a little force in there we got it good we got it good how do you avoid stripping screws don't over tighten them i haven't stripped the screw yet but i broke my tip that's not good so we're all good we got this guys has only 37 screws left actually there's not that many screws left maybe like eight that's how you know you're getting close to the end next up now we get to put it back in here like we just did earlier so this drive goes this way and like that and then we're going to screw in those screws again now in here these colored multicolored green looking screws screw in the bottom so we have something to stabilize and then we'll get our ribbing cables plugged in so i never did figure out how this ribbing cable is supposed to this one here is supposed to come out i never did figure that out i got it out and i can get it out that same way again but i never did really figure how it's supposed to work i mean that's the point brian c rubber strap you bastard thank you so much get the strap get the strap cheers you guys got my back thank you guys for having my back baby rubber strap thank you thank you thank you read the chat Nate read the chat you guys got my back you guys got my back the thing is i probably went to notice until all of a sudden i heard a rattling noise i'm like why is it rattling why do i have this rubber strap at the back we got it we got it so strap wise let's get the case out of the way again i swear xbox case we will get there okay so i know it's fat fat end no as i drop my series x it's always recommended that you drop your series x to make sure you have maximum series x edge it is suggested that's not it goes this way this is the way it goes putting this back on isn't exactly straightforward pictures would definitely help but we got this we got this so it goes like this yeah there we go that makes more sense how this clips on show you guys so on this end it goes like this then it goes around this way you have these three these three holes line up and then on this side you'll see that this end stretches over and goes around this and then you stretch this over and you go around that and that's it that's how that goes on take half a shot hey are we gonna find out the super chat yeah we got your back now and i'll take half a shot fine fine technically mr e banks that's not a shot but i will take a half z for you because we are deep into the stream we are deep into the stream mr e banks i'll give you half a shot for surviving this long in the stream just for surviving this long they'll give you half a shot cheers man it's bad that i can barely taste it anymore we're losing them i don't have extra screws i don't i do not have extra screws right now all right let's get this bad boy back together all right so this drive was over there that's how you orient it goes like this third time's the charm i'm putting these bottom screws in we got this i have faith in my ability to put this bad together i would have realized at the end or and then i would have to take this thing apart more and more big why do i have these extra parts what is happening do you think you got extra screws no no i do not think there's extra screws right now i'm down to the outside screws and then four more and i put or five more technically with that giant one the giant one helps hold in the this the fan though so i'm pretty sure that we are okay right now i do not think there's any extra screws at the moment and now i can probably take this over show you guys so we're putting the screw right here looks like a mini itx pc i agree it looks like a mini itx pc ribbon cable time with that tape i kept that tape on here didn't i or did i mess it up oh that tape is messed up now that's all right all right so we plug this into here and then that's good plug this into here oh that's not going in smoothly all right this is the one i was having problems with before and then i'm going to snap that plastic back in the place that i loosened earlier all right that's good all right i think we're good all right next up is the fan oh well put the disk drive in quick we'll do the fan last disk drive here is the disk drive so this goes in this way plug in the sata cable plug in the power that's good nothing gets screwed in there because this thing goes on this thing goes like this just like that it's one of these black screws those did you check all in the no i'm good there's no extra screws i have i've got these screws here i don't know i guess we'll find out are there extra screws maybe maybe there's extra screws there's a screw that go here let's try my hand i have a different set of screws that might go here so i don't want to lose any screws that's in that's in that's bottom middle that's for the fan i'm just looking around make sure i'm not missing any other screw spots this cable goes down with that all right we're putting the fan in now which goes in like this this slides in and you plug the power in right here all right that's in all right well i remember this giant one goes here people waiting if you're ready for the sledge hammer boys we're getting in the home stretch we are in the home stretch officially pretty sure this one we are in the home stretch the funny thing is i do have extra screws i literally have extra screws we're going to find out if those screws matter in a moment as you guys i checked the extra screws i totally have extra screws i can already tell it's because there's only two screws that go in the back there's a screw that goes here screw that goes here there's no screws that go on the bottom plate so i have here's the extra screws i have i got to show you guys the extra screws i got four extra screws i have four extra screws one two i don't see anywhere else had to have gone on the motherboard somewhere and i missed it well all that matters is does it turn on does it work can i game on it can i game on it that's the real question so we're going to keep these extra screws because i will be taking the system apart again at some point so we'll get there so how does this slide in hold on slots in like this yep that's the one i messed with you turn it clicks in clicks in like that that's the bottom base is in all right i should have told you guys there was extra screws you would think you would think i'm i'm much bigger pro if i didn't mention i had extra screws all right where's the back plate here we go back plate this should just click in for the most part my bad my bad hold on it does not just click in like that you gotta wedge it in um spudger no spudger spudger is what i mean i have to so when you put it back together folks there's a lip there's a lip here you have to slide the lip in like this first and then bring it down bring it down just like that all right and then you can put in your two colored screws liquid metal gonna shoot off the top we should take bets at some point i did i have an og fat ps3 i didn't have i do i've taken an apartment about together without missing screws either differences i wasn't drinking and i wasn't live streaming while i did it you know what pressure there is on you when you're drinking and live streaming at the same time but if it works and doesn't provide any issues i will keep the extra screws they clearly go somewhere in my opinion there's too many screws i don't think the system needs as many screws as it has personal opinion i don't think it needs as many screws as it has but i don't see the chat yelling at me that i forgot something major so my little saw aside that i use a spudger all right so my power plug is way over here so i gotta move the mic i gotta move this stuff because for to reach it has to be like great let me move some stuff out of the way here so you guys can see i'll move the mic this direction there you can see the series x because the power cord the one thing is the power cord is kind of short this is as long as the cord is i don't know if you guys see that that to me it's a little bit of a short cord but that's what they gave us so here we go the disk drives in don't don't go do the disk drive the disk drive is in there's a disk in the drive right now a laptop which isn't that big a deal is that okay i can't record all right now we have a portable monitor that has speakers have a portable monitor with speakers we're gonna hook this up it's just a 1080p you're not gonna get the 4k but it should give a good idea of what we recommend so let's and you can power another thing test the usb power if i remember to plug in all the cables you can power it over usb so if you have like a single outlet it what is it reflecting it's very reflective anyways you can power it off the usb ports on the xbox so there's that all right now it uses mini usb but it doesn't really matter it's a 1080p screen got my xbox one controller will it turn on with the controller it's a little oh oh we have i did it i did it i'm not going to show you my passcode but i did it i did it i successfully liquid metal cooled my xbox series x it happened let me turn it around quick hold on hold on let's get the passcode entered in don't want you guys know what's up what's up i gotta hide the controller all right sign it in right
