This was the most fun I've ever had on a live stream. Thanks so much to the LTT team for setting it up and organizing a (very) complicated production setup, to Austin for cohosting and adding fun commentary, and to Jay for joining to put on a great show. Very impressed with all the production crews! PS - Paul vs. Kyle next! (Edit - also, first thing I did was reset bios and second was apply XMP, but seems a lot of people missed this -- it was on the screen when Linus & Austin were trying to fix AV issues.)

I rolled my eyes at the 2 hour playtime but then in 1 minute I was all in.

This is a great idea for a video and I too am shocked nobody thought of it

[mitchelllion]

I love how jay and Steve both took the first chance to make a “this looks like a pc Linus built” joke lol

[czarinc.]

Jay’s cameraman is so on point with his reactions and mannerisms it’s remarkable

[ugorton]

Austins audio: asaijhdiajsdugfwauhwf

Linus: Exactly

[FixedAU]

I was sceptical that this would hold my interest, but that was riveting. Can’t wait for the next one, gents. Great concept.

[Zargoz]

We need a Jay vs Steve rematch! I can only watch this episode so many times! Please give us another one of these. It's like a game show I never knew I wanted.

Steve hitting the Cinebench target with 2 cores still disabled. Just T-posing on everyone

The hosts were having tech support problems covering the tech support problems

[Lishtenbird]

"Have you found all the wrong settings in the BIOS?"
"I just reset it."

I just saw this video on June 18, 2021. Absolutely loved it. I appreciate all parties involved as I know this was a lot to organize with everyone’s busy schedule. I can also appreciate the technical issues as you never know what’s going to happen when you go live. It was great watching Jay and Steve work on the problems in their own unique ways. Can’t wait to see more of this type of content for any of the parties.

I love Steve's approach to tech support, I can't convey just how satisfying it is. If there is one thing I learned in repairs it was this: Assume the customer is trying to f&*k you over.

Pc has a problem:
Tech Jesus: Just overclock it.

[SahilTiwariOnPlus]

What you don't know is that "The Verge Guy" was a part of this video. He was the one who built these two PCs at the first place.

[elone]

I love how Steve knew the evil lurking within and decided straight off that it would be easier to strip/reset everything :D

[gelito]

One of the best competitions I have ever seen. Great for someone with some fair understanding of computers. I truly enjoyed all 2 hours of it.

[HyranAU]

Austin: *enchantment table noises*

Linus: “exactly!”

[ScytheNoire]

Disabled XMP, yet, if you enable it, you're voiding your Intel warranty.

Thank you for this episode. I never thought I'd be interested in troubleshooting PCs—also, massive respect for these tech geeks who participated in this episode for sharing their expertise.

[justaskin]

I know this one is over a year old, but it came up in my list just today. Well done all, and Jay, what a good sport you were, sir. Thank you for that!
