The Fastest Xbox of All Time #Helpful Post

his might appear to be a normal

original Xbox but what's inside it is

haha from normal now lots of people have

done pcs in an Xbox chassis before and

for being honest the finish on some of

those is better than what we've done

here but every other project we've found

either compromised on the form factor

like adding more space to the bottom or

compromised on the performance with most

of them rocking a mid tier gaming

graphics card at best well compromise is

not the Linus tech tips way we will

settle for nothing less than the first

Xbox with support for real-time rate

racing nothing less than the fastest

Xbox ever getting all that performance

in here wasn't easy though so let's take

a look at what it took to make our

latest sleeper PC Patrice brought to you

by our sponsor madrenas madrenas coffee

blend specialty cold brew coffee Xin 215

ounce grab-and-go cans for everyone's

convenience check them out and use offer

code Linus to save 40%

we'll have that linked below

so the very first thing we need to do is

just make sure that everything that we

have here fits so we have this g-force

our TX 2070 from ZOTAC and it it should

fit in like I did some CAD and

everything fits in theory but we have I

think three millimeters of space on the

side so wow that's a really long screw

for those of you freaking out we got

this xbox in non working condition for

ten dollars so don't stress out about us

destroying vintage gaming hardware this

assembly was about what you'd expect

inside

the Xbox one not to be confused with the

Xbox one is basically a normal computer

with the majority of the internal space

being used for a disc reader and a

mechanical hard drive well we won't be

meeting either of those anymore let's do

a test fit for this sleeper we'll be

using one of Zoet acts epic mini

graphics cards in this case an RT X 27 T

and a core i5 8400 six core CPU now

compared to some of our other sleepers

Patrice's performance isn't as

over-the-top but we're working with a

passively cooled HD Plex power supply

and we wanted to save as much of our

power budget as possible for the

graphics card besides we figured chances

are anything more powerful would have

thermal throttled anyway it seems like

everything will fit we just need to make

sure it all works together and more

importantly that our power supply is

actually able to handle it all so don't

mind the mess at this stage this is just

for testing purposes power there I'm

short at the pins and no hello

yeah it's passed test number one but we

do need to get a monitor and keyboard

and make sure that it's actually I was

like run Windows and crap so we got into

Windows no problem everything's working

that's kind of expected but the real

test here is when I hit start it might

shut down and if it does we're gonna

have to rethink the whole thing so

so far so good how are you gonna get all

of that stuff in there that's the thing

I want to discuss with you so poorly is

basically the answer that's not an

answer well it kind of so we can do two

things we can either have it be really

powerful yeah or look good on the inside

and I don't think there's a way to have

both of those things okay

sleepers let's bring it back to cars Mme

so sleepers have to look bone stock from

the outside that we agree on and

sleepers have to be just head turning we

fast off the line

yeah is there any rule that says they

have to be gorgeous inside no then I

guess we know what to do

you're gonna need ventilation holes on

the bottom of the case yeah okay like

you're gonna need to cut away the bottom

of the case pretty much yeah you might

have to achieve up a bit of this plastic

shroud as well in fact you just remove

it and move it yeah yeah I mean what's

it what's even do other than look cool

yeah yeah I think we need to go in that

way then we have the perforation in the

bottom this thing shouldn't even

overheat perfect her act cuz we're gonna

perf or eight and that's my cue to exit

goodbye our methods for C and seeing

sheet aluminum have improved

significantly since our previous attempt

in Margaret we now have a single flute

end mill and double-sided tape that

doesn't gum up the bit giving us

excellent results this means that we

should end up with perfect mounting

points for our hardware and much better

rigidity compared to the paper thin

metal that's currently in here off

camera I did a prototype Bend with with

our little Vice break here and it's we

could just but it's not good enough no

so we have a solution okay

I took the credit card

and we we got a we got a really big

thing that's going over here do you want

to do you want to come oh that kind of

solution is this safe how are you

supposed to move these things oh that's

why you guys are all here

okay ah okay how much was this like 800

bucks wow that's actually not as bad I

was expecting exchange just based on the

weight yeah no it was actually very on

sale we got a good deal I wanted to buy

the three thousand dollar one all right

well then in that case good work Alex

all right fun fun fun actually this is

not that bad six people wait so this

countertop is gonna be basically

unusable for like weeks months who

signed off on this um you said you don't

care that's the actual quote of what you

said about it alright okay hold on so

you guys go ahead and come out why do

you get the coolest toys around here

Brandon also gets really cool toys

that's true but I think this one's

cooler and how do you pick the angle you

want your eyeball immolate it kind of

eyeball it okay and then you unlock it

down and then uh boom there you go you

done bent some metal there boy so for

bending sheet metal kind of the best way

to do it is to use this what they call

blue layout dye and that lets you come

in you just cover it it dries really

fast and you can scribe directly on it

and get this super high contrast and

also very precise line we have a plan

here that just tells us all of our

dimensions where the bends need to be

and also I've numbered each Bend because

like if you bend let's say number six

before number one you won't be able to

complete it because the bend will hit

the rest of that as it goes around since

the part wasn't designed with this break

in mind a couple of the bends were

pretty sketchy

vitu got all of the critical dimensions

correct and was miles ahead of the

previous prototype so we consider it a

success the next step was a test fit and

oh no don't worry mr. Linus so it was at

this point that we confirmed the stock

fans and shroud from our graphics card

would need to be removed while he was at

it Alex replaced the original thermal

paste with some crown OTT since we're

gonna need all the help we can get when

it comes to cooling with our replacement

liner prepared the old liner was

forcibly removed and all of the old

mounting needs to come out now with lots

of dremel and oh wow that fits like a

glove now you have to make some holes

for the motherboard and GPU there yeah

this is this is really the point of no

return right here like the stuff on the

inside you can't tell but if I screw

this one up geez we're just we're just

done first the bulk was removed with a

cutting disk then Alex brought it closed

with a grinding bit finishing off with a

file for a nice smooth cut so uh what's

about to happen is not for the squeamish

so the DVI connector here it goes in

like this and unfortunately it kind of

interferes with where the power

connector is going to be ten out of ten

would not recommend doing this to your

GPU

but now DVI connector list card got

blown out with compressed air to ensure

that no metal shards would shorted out

then it was taped up and reassembled but

that actually wasn't the end of the

carnage for this poor thing the i/o

shield needed to be first flattened out

and then cut down to size to fit into

the extremely small space we have for it

next all of the holes that we needed in

the bottom of the case were drilled out

and a fan intake was cut into the bottom

a hole was added for the power connector

not because this is the best time for

that step but rather because we forgot

to do it before and then the sheet metal

interior was ready to be riveted

together we're actually getting pretty

close to final product here so the blue

layout dye that was covering it was

removed with acetone and then our liner

was given a coat of black paint while

that dried the hole for the GPU i/o was

created with the Dremel and we were

ready for a real test fit since the

original GPUs fans ended up being too

big smaller ones were added using zip

ties fitting everything in a case like

this is difficult even with

purpose-built parts as for our machine

well everything does have its place but

getting it in is another story like the

GPU is so close to the motherboard that

even the i/o cover needed to be removed

for it to all fit but lo and behold

everything did fit now it's just time to

make sure that it all still works oh

nice like it's showing up over there oh

wow it just worked I honestly wasn't

expecting it to just work I figured I'd

have to do at least one little kajigger

ring damn that's that's not the power

button look I didn't have an Xbox

already that can be controlled right

yeah like that can be dialed back yeah

if you want it to be full-blown sleep or

you can just be like Kabam okay is it

supposed to be green yeah okay I'm

enjoying this

it's not especially quiet I wouldn't

describe it as crazy loud either though

and the exhaust system that you've built

such as it were does seem to be working

like there's definitely warm air coming

out so let's see what kind of

performance we can expect out of this

thing a hundred and thirty-two 160 fps

not bad

get that glory kid oh so we're seeing 84

degrees 96 percent GPU usage though so

we're definitely hitting it hard

and then our core clock is here here is

in like the 1413 high 14 lows okay so

it's like a radar base should we hook it

up in its new home

sure so right down here guys we've got

the Xbox one x vs you could call this

like an x-box you know it's got that X

Factor

it's Patrice Patrice sure apparently the

One X runs at 60fps what compromises are

they making here I mean the Xbox one X

is what like an RX 480 or something like

that well okay so fine the Xbox 1x runs

at a higher frame rate and is probably

less buggy than the PC version okay

that's not shut up you're in a field

there's like four trees

Oh God so this is a little overpowered

for most like local multiplayer PC

gaming experiences isn't it

are you saying we should have put less

power in it I'm saying the power we put

in it might have been unnecessary oops

oh I know I would meant to I meant to

put it down in my hand or in this this

is this is just hard to this is hard to

watch Oh have you slide X I believe yep

that works okay cool I can't believe

they saved that they're better than us

so far but they're not very good I can't

find the ball I like doesn't really have

no idea for the ball they quit we're

that bad and we still won this is gonna

be awesome once we have this like all

set up and everything I mean this aspect

of it is basically good to go like we

can't plug wired controllers in from the

front we've got Wireless Xbox controller

so any you can use any kind of

controller you want because if someone

wants a ps4 controller or whatever they

can just plug in a wire like this is

freaking awesome and it's so stealth

it's our most useful sleeper ever so

we've got one terabyte of storage now

because we're using a one terabyte m2

boot drive but I suspect we're gonna

want to add a larger game library I mean

the worst case scenario is we grab an

external port terabyte hard drive and

plug it into USB 3 is that resolution

just you can't set any other resolution

you know what I bet if we just exit the

game again and try again like rocket

League it'll just it'll just get its act

together this is like really not a great

sales pitch for PC gaming it's really

great after you

a config file and then you I'm just

seeing if it has that no I don't see an

obvious wait I doubt it

oh all right oh heck yeah here we go

okay ah I can't do this on the console

yeah you wouldn't want to cuz it's a

really really bad experience but 3840 by

2160 fullscreen I bet I have to change

that to true okay let's just see if

there's anything else we should probably

change in here that all looks fine piece

of gaming find the parameters change the

parameters and then oh it's time to go

to bed you missed out on your gaming

time tonight that looks better you hook

dammit why is this necessary

oh that looks so much better that was

worth it

yes okay ah campaign yeah sure I don't

understand what weapon I had oh I have a

flamethrower oh cool nice do you that

Cleo Pete yes yeah Oh doesn't make a

difference like do all the guys have

different wet yeah they do

did you kill me guy god you killed just

the whole like MacGyver throws dynamite

okay well I didn't know

there you have it we built the world's

most powerful gaming Xbox take that

Microsoft there were some anomalies with

Forza but we're gonna blame we're gonna

blame Microsoft for that they stack the

deck in their favor so all that's left
