What happens when you build a computer out of parts made by China’s top “unknown in the West” brands? Is the RAM rammin? Is the SSD solid? Is the GPU a GPU-ty or more of a G-pee-ew stinky mess?

    You all know how with quantum physics a particle in superposition can technically be in two different states at once? I’m almost entirely certain that’s what’s happening with Bearded Linus and Beardless Linus. They both exist but they’re unaware of one another.
  • It's worth noting that the weight of the PSU doesn't necessarily mean much. It was pointed out to Linus before in a previous video that if China is manufacturing a PSU to only be sold or used in China, then they don't have to bother making them dual voltage, which would make it far lighter than a PSU intended to be used in both North America and Europe.
  • @KTC1995
    Hey Linus, thanks for the shoutout! Glad you're loving our stuff. From China to Amazon, KTC's on a roll! Happy gaming to all! 🎮
  • @user-mt4zr5kp7h
    The power supply being a Chinese power supply and likely intended for Chinese distribution is probably intended to run at 220 volts. Therefore, it probably is a true 1200 watt power supply and that's why it's so light because higher voltage, less amperage, you don't need such heavy wiring and components.
  • @ckh.joseph
    The subtitles which are like those comments on BiliBili are so hilarious. Wonder if it was Andy's idea
  • @kevin_mx
    That ZHITAI PC005 Active 1TB SSD is almost a 4-year old product. YMTC do have some drives which offers much higher performance, like TiPlus 7100 (PCI-E gen 4 w/HMB), TiPro 7000 (PCI-E gen 4 w/DRAM cache), etc. Combined with Maxio and Innogrit's PCI-E gen 4 controllers their speed is pretty awesome. I personally have a few of them on my PC and NAS.
  • @thehobnob
    The "Legacy compatibility mode" was introduced in a BIOS update back when Alder Lake was new in response to some game copy protection systems freaking out when tasks were shuffled between P- and E-cores - you should find it in pretty much every 12th/13th/14th-gen board's BIOS, though who knows where some folks bury it
  • @zeyuzhang2017
    It’s a bit weird that PC005 is in the build. It’s the very first of YMTC’s SSDs with only 64-layer TLC and gen3 link and released back in 2020. Now they offer 232-layer NAND chips on their own Zhitai brand and many 3rd party SSDs in domestic market and are really competitive with micron or kioxia solutions. These SSDs often boasts higher erase/write counts (for example 3600TBW on a 2TB drive) and the price tends to be slightly lower. I’ve just shipped two drives from China to the states for my NAS and they are of great value👍
  • @TNGYun
    I bought every single component of my brother's pc whilst visiting family in china, then went back to the uk with it. An all white, rtx 3080 i5-12600k pc with a 2k 144hz monitor setup only costed £1000 all new
  • @mevans4953
    Meanwhile the All Japan PC is literally an office computer from 2002, built from before most regular PC users were born
  • @raiebread
    That 100 Acre Wood line caught me so off guard haha
  • I bought a KTC 19 inch monitor back in 2007 and use it for little more then 10 years. I have great experience using it
  • @embiate
    Good video! I love this beautiful and well detailed and insightful look into the specific hardware setups that the cheaters in Escape from Tarkov use to head/eyes me every raid ultimately leaving me with no kits mid-wipe.
  • @amf9797
    9:00 being compared to Asus is bad in China because back in 2018, someone ordered a supposedly new ROG laptop online and when he went to the shop to retrieve and pay for it, he was informed that the laptop is in fact refurbished, and he also needed to pay more than what he initially agreed on, after some arguments he was beating by 5 Asus employees then thrown out of the store.
  • @tufab3494
    Building an all-China PC is quite common here in Brazil. Many people can't afford buying mainstream brands and end up buying stuff from Ali. I've never personally used one of those, but since the vast majority of brazilian PC gamers are adopting chinese budget builds nowadays, I suppose they work well enough
  • @poi8007
    A few months ago, I bought several SSDs on Taobao. The brand is Acer GM7. It is a PCIe 4.0 SSD with a capacity of 2TB and a read speed of 7000MB/S. What surprises me most is the price. A 2TB PCIE4.0 SSD only costs 499 RMB (about 70 US dollars). I bought 3 of them and now two of them are in my computer.

    What i find funny is my first keyboard and headset when i was 12 were AULA products. Strange to see they are still around.
