This motherboard is STUPID.. and I love it!!

The Asrock Rack EPC621D4I-2M makes NO sense... but that's exactly what made me fall in love with it.

5:10 "This is the CPU I dropped" - you gotta be more specific than that

[QWOP_Expert]

Note to self: Never buy used hardware from LTT.

[Tibilius]

I like how everybody is focused on the 2 2080Ti's when he has a $10, 000 CPU just right next to him.

[pseudocode]

"Does this remind you of anything"

Yes linus. It's clearly a bishop chess piece.

"There is something to be said for working with miniature sized hardware."

Hi Linus, just a heads up. To get into the RAID controller usually on these newer boards, you first need to set the legacy option rom to ON and enable the legacy boot options.

Once you're in and configure your raid, you can set the board back to the UEFI/Secure Boot if wanted.

Linus: This 2080 Ti's fans aren't working right, let's try something else

Also Linus: Unwraps brand new 2080 Ti just because he can

10:20: How immature of SilverStone to include a pawn from a chess set in the case mounting hardware.

[KeppyKep]

How I imagine this board came about:
Asrock Engineer 1: "This socket is so big, wouldn't it look hilarious on a mini-ITX board?"
Asrock Engineer 2: "Lol, let's make one"

[matias-mcbr]

Linus: breaks 2080 ti
Linus: casually pulls out another 2080 ti

[archivedaaliyahwolf]

*Linus:* * Uses brand new board with broken custom cpu and graphics card *
*Computer:* * Doesn’t work *
*Linus:* Must be the board

[xerusume]

10:17 I was gonna say a chess piece.
I don't think Silverstone is the one that needs to grow up, Linus...

[davdabrav]

Every LTT build video: "Always plug everything into the board on top of the motherboard box and power it on to see if it works before mounting it in the case."


This video: "Well this is the CPU I dropped with a bad memory channel and the GPU I took apart and hydro-dipped. I hope everything works." *Crams everything into a tiny case without testing it.*

[trevor]

when you have an extra RTX 2080Ti just sittin there....

[AmGroot]

Linus: Breaks a Xeon Platinum 8180 and an RTX 2080 TI, which are worth more than $11K together.
Also Linus: Casually pulls out a new Xeon Platinum 8180 and a new RTX 2080 TI like it's no big deal.

[Nathan-wpir]

Linus: Expects build to work

Also Linus: Uses broken parts

[sergarlantyrell]

Linus: Casually whips out another 2080 Ti

Me: Cries a little inside :'(

[ironflash]

Something not working!!!
Possibility 1 : Manufacturer's fault
Possibility 2 : Linus's fault





And its always possibility 2

"Does this remind you of anything"

A chess piece?

[GrumpyTyer]

Linus: Does this remind you of anything?
Everyone in the comments: A pawn.
