Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet – AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade
Linus and team dive into a $5K AMD-sponsored overhaul of Robert Oakes’ setup, building a powerful NAS for video editing with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI B550M-VC WiFi board, Jonsbo N5 case, Corsair RM750 PSU, Thermalright CPU cooler, G.Skill 32 GB DDR4 and Crucial Gen4 NVMe storage. On the desk side, they swap in a Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, Yamaha HS5 monitors and a Samsung HW-Q800D soundbar—plus all the streaming gear and quirky nerdy collectibles (yes, lightsabers and a vintage VCR included).
Expect hands-on DIY tips for squeezing max performance out of AMD gear, step-by-step build and cable management, and plenty of laughs (that LTT screwdriver cameo is priceless). Don’t forget to enter AMD’s spooky sweepstakes for a chance at a Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and catch the full setup tour on Floatplane for bonus behind-the-scenes action!
