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.

You don't know if he is bearded or beardless until you click a video and observe him.
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.
Some manufacturers just put bolts to make them heavier
Why didn't they test the PSU? They have the equipment!
This, i was surprised LTT didn't mention it

Hi brother. Where can westerners buy directly from KTC and MAXSUN, etc? More money to the manufacturers, like you guys, and prevents companies like Amazon from making a lot of money off of your wonderful hardware.
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.
It is rated for 100-240V
@@tannermccoolman4647 if its a china exclusive, its probably not because the intended use is only for them
Also single frequency. If the entire country uses 60hz, then they dont need two sets of capacitors and mosfets to rectify. All this simplification also affects the requirements for the primary and secondary boards and the PSU suddenly gets really light while still passing tests.

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.

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
In mine at least it allows you to turn on and off cores manually in the bios, but no on the fly changing like this one does.
On my Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 7, I can switch this setting on the fly with fn+K. It can either save power or improve performance, depending on the workload.

You had no issues moving that through borders?
@@p0358 When you declare it correctly and pay the consumption taxes at the border - why would you get a problem? He was talking about original products, not counterfeits. You are allowed to import original stuff everywhere, just have your bill from the purchase with you so that you not have to pay taxes on the MSRP but what you really paid for.
Numerous YT vids show that it usually costs about as much as the US, if not a little more. You can't go buy a Millse or Killsre GPU and then compare the price to an Asus or Gigabyte GPU. A Machinist MB is not the same as one from a major manufacturer. KingFast is not the same as Kingston. If you list the price of the build without a full spec sheet, it is a nebulous comment anyway. You might have got a deal; you might have been totally ripped off. We don't know. China is hard at work remanufacturing GPUs. You can call it a 'new'' GPU all you want but it isn't. I guarantee those new manufacture boards are not anywhere near the quality of the original.
@@Lurch-Bot I can assure you the total build price will be cheaper even with comparable products. Not a lot cheaper, but still cheaper. For example, the msi Z690I is cheaper in china than in us, cases, psu, and coolers are a lot cheaper, ram are somewhat comparable but there are some deals out there, not sure about storage because i didnt look much into it.
@@acmenipponair lemme clarify, we didnt even need to pay consumption tax 😂. It was considered as part of our 23kg luggages as we traveled in a group and there was still one unused luggage allocation and the people at customs didnt declare it as an export good.
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👍
They ought to put on a ZHITAI Ti7000 Pro or TiPlus7100. Using only the PC005 is a bit, biased I'd say? Also, if they wanted a graphics card with better reputation they can try the Colorful, which was founded in Shenzhen.
I have bought two tiplus7100 and they work well in my laptop and desktop

The Zhitai PC005 SSD is made for Server storage XD, Zhitai 7000 series and 7100 series are made for personal PC storage.
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.
Is this the price excluding shipping and tax? You are lucky because SSDs have recently seen a significant price increase, and the Acer GM7 is a great SSD. I was surprised that Linus did not actually use the zhitai ti plus 7000, as they have high-performance PCIE4.0 solid-state drives and are known for their powerful performance and reliability. However, PC005 is also a very popular model. I currently have one for storing games, which has been running for 17000 hours and has a 95% health rating. This SSD was popular during the Bitcoin wave due to its incredible stability.
now is ¥999 or ＄130
its not a good time to buy ssd in china right now，it has been much more expensive recently. but it may still be cheap for you guys
@@user-gc5cy5js5zeverything on taobao is after tax, there’s no such thing as state tax or combined sale tax in China. Or we just don’t know it, but ¥499 is the final price and it’s likely to be free shipping (even if it’s not it would be likely to cost as little as ¥5 or ¥10, $1 usd or something)
From what I'm given to understand in regards to the CPU (worked in Military aerospace in the US): Any technology that is used on anything sensitive here in the US that is defined by the US gov. as such cannot be imported to China via these security laws for US based companies. These special editions are typically a way around that, by making it a different SKU with different performance or may slight tweaks in enough areas they can now be imported without bother from the government, it's the industries worst kept secret.
In case of the CPU, I think it's a different story. 14790F(China on edition) is a cheaper (-20%) alternative to the 14700K with less E cores and more cache. 14700K is not banned in China, nor does 14900k. But there are things that are similar to your case such as Nvidia 4090D.

No CXMT-based RAM, no MTT GPU, did not mention Loongson. I understand if those are difficult to obtain or not usable enough (or are not compatible with each other, especially Loongson and MTT), but can't really be a 100% Chinese PC without those. Still a great video. I wonder if there ever will be a moment when it'll be possible to build and showcase a 100% Russian PC on a western YT channel. Russia basically has every component besides NAND flash, GPUs and (conventional) cooling. x86 motherboards, for example, are aplenty in the public procurement market, as are SSDs and RAM (although all of them still use nearly 100% imported components nearly 100% of the time)
True. The issue with MTT is that their GPUs are currently held up by the driver, the perfornance is not bad but you are stuck with OpenGL games only. Regarding Loongson, their latest 3A6000 processor took a great leap but the unique architecture meant that we'll never see much proprietory software released for LA64 (a win for the open source community haha).
I'm already working on all these ideas. Import laws are really something
Doesnt Russia have a factory in Kaliningrad making their own memory modules almost entirely from scratch?
@@AndRei-yc3ti yes, there is such a factory called GS Nanotech, unfortunately they don't exactly make chips from scratch. But it's very close. Imported 300mm wafers from Toshiba, Micron etc are cut, tested and packaged as NAND flash chips. This is still a highly technologically advanced process, the only thing they are lacking at this point is actual raw silicon and a lithography machine to print the flash memory. Until recently they only made SSDs featuring their own packaged NAND flash, but they also started to make DDR4 RAM sticks. Although they are made using imported flash packages, that might change soon, considering that the first GS SSDs were also made with finished Micron chips (I even have one of those early ssds on hand)
@realN1K3X ah so they have no fab process of their own? Why call them Russian if they dont use domestic components?
Guess I was expecting some kind of Loongson or Zhaoxin CPU and a MTT GPU with the "ALL China PC".
So... How much did the entire setup cost with shipping? Is it worth it to buy them and await shipping or do taxes and customs fees apply ?
As a guy from China and living in Canada using pc parts shipped from China, my answer is No.
idk about US, but i bought things from Japan to EU and the taxes + custom fee were like 40% of the product price, may vary depending the product tho
@@user-qd4gf8hg8f same thing here, usually shipping + customs fee is around 80~120$, depending on the seller, that is why I was asking to get a rough approximate

Don't be surprised, other models that are better than this keyboard can be purchased in China for around 300 RMB (around 41 USD), and there are countless styles that are more cool, functional, and have a better sound than this one. And high-performance gaming mice only cost 69 RMB (around 9.5 USD) In fact, the PC market in China is very diversified, and you can find various magical products that do not exist in the West, such as the YTX motherboard displayed by Linus before, various ITX cases, a variety of sea view room cases, and dazzling PC products, from the lowest price practical to the most luxurious and cool.

Honestly it's a very good motherboard approach that I would like to see more manufacturers adopt this type of priority. It has an average VRM just like any other entry Z790, but it's feature packed with stuff that most people would be able to use, enjoy, and utilize; 7 Segment display, premium "look" design / rgb & aesthetics, decent IO and storage ports, etc. All kinds of features that usually only exists in $450 or above boards, yet at a very affordable price. The current trend in motherboards is that you either buy the very skimped, cheap ones, or you have to buy the grossly overpriced high end boards, even though all you wanted was the aesthetics, ports, and storage slots. The majority of people does not need overkill VRMs unless they're hardcore overclockers, but people can certainly use the abundant of ports that only exist in high end boards. It's the equivalent of having to buy a fruit hampers even though the only one you wanted was apples and oranges since they no longer sold them separately anymore.

Did anyone put together the total cost of the build??
I got that mobo, paid around 180 usd (black version). I'd still recommend an entry asrock (z790 lightning, even the old one) over it. Reason: the bios is absolutely terrible. XMP crashes, overclock is terrible/confusing and even a very little undervolt (10mv) will make the system unstable. If you don't care that much for OC, temperatures are incredibly, wifi is very good and there are plenty of ssd slots with great heatsinks. Aside from the terrible OC features, I'm getting 36.7k on cinebench with my 14700k aircooler without overheating, which is quite impressive.
the case and especially the peripherals are very alluring options! fascinating showcase.
I bought the case because of this video. Quality is better than I expected and is really easy to work on. Only complaint would be that cable management took me a bit more because the holes to run the cables are large with no rubber slits to hide the rest of the cables. Got the case in black so that helped a bit

Which is going to be real tough, since almost none of the PC components are made or assembled in the US anymore. Unless you're talking about American companies, in which case I guess Dell or HP OEM prebuilts?
PNY enters the chat. 💬
All Canadian would be more fitting
Doesn't exist
Very interesting video, especially the kb&m section
The Chinese bullet chat LMAO
Hey Linus! What happened to the pinned comment showing the PSU’s intensive test results?
14:38 was smooth AF.
true smooth and clean
Hey Linus or Linus's Team, been watching the channel for a long time, have a question for ya. I've looked everywhere on repairs on a headset that is no longer produced and results. How would you approach on repairing a Logitech G933 Wireless headset at the speaker driver unit? Left headphone speaker has died on this day. Thank you
How well do you think you could get your work done if you re-arrenged your keycaps on your keyboard?
and now I want to move to China...
0:18 The most brutal roast ever by Linus. Friggin’ GLORIOUS
Not brutal at all, it was never banned btw
Ngl that mouse in the satin transparent body throws me way back in time, and that keyboard is COOOOL, especially 50 bucks, I actually want that!
What would be much more interessting to know is the durability of all these products. How long does this machine and peripherals survive a gamers usage because just getting it cheap is not enough.
Its shocking Linus didn't plug the LLT screwdriver when talking about the included motherboard driver.
It's been advertised so hard we're all conditioned to think of it when seeing a screwdriver on an LTT video anyway.
At reading the title I was like " Anything is made in China anyways" but then it was more like " Stuff from China under offbrand names with good quality"
and with reasonal price
Poor choice of title. LTT still can't manage to say what they mean.
I spent $140 last year to buy a 4TB SSD,is third -party brands utilize YMTC 232-layer NAND. it still work stable and outstanding performance.@@aydenchu7437
I actually have that exact KTC monitor and I love it. The HDR is kinda meh but everything else is incredible on it for the price
That motherboard doesnt only come with the backing plate, it comes with a decorateable case, just need some glue and an exacto blade.
At 0:13, Linus was banned from China (P.s: They want their TV back)
The 100 Acre Wood comment was absolutely mint. Well done.
Especially it's a burning wood. How fitting :D
You can pretty much use any processor since TSMC is in Taiwan which is a part of China according to the One China policy.
According to the Constitution of Taiwan, the concept of China even includes the current Mongolia
Would’ve loved to see some performance graphs against a comparably priced us pc
So... where is that pinned comment? 10:27
The 100 acre wood line was goated.
I am pretty sure they will have to cut that out, when this video goes on Bilibili.
The one thing that sticks out is that keyboard. I am a little involved with custom keebs and I have not heard a sub-100$ board sound anywhere close to that.
最近两年中国出现很多键盘鼠标厂商，他们把产品的价格拉到很低，同时产品质量也非常高，无论是消音棉的填充还有一些细节。我前几年也非常喜欢键盘的客制化，现在看来，这些厂商的产品已经接近甚至超越客制化，我更倾向于直接买他们的产品。因为几乎相同的使用体验，直接买他们的成品我只用花1/3的钱
This pc kinda blew my mind ngl, wouldnt mind seeing an all asus rog pc again as its been 5 years since the last video, or maybe all asus tuf pc.
Does this china motherboard access your home wifi?
XD
you have to be a senator
This is more of a Western PC with Chinese characteristics 😂😂
Nah it's the other way around since majority of pc parts are manufactured from Mainland China & Taiwan. 😂
@@chaosbringer5248 Never heard of an Nvidia GPU, AMD GPU or Intel GPU or CPU made in China but I guess you know better. Taiwan is where things are manufactured but all the engineering and design is happening in the US.
i would try this is my next build, all the aestatic parts white, since u pay so much extra in europe for "white edition" parts. cpu/gpu/ram etc gonna be known brands but that case looks sick for 99$ !
And that's about the most any PC case is actually worth. It is a box, people. Doesn't need to cost $300, even with all the bells and whistles. Lian Li and Corsair are just playing you for fools.
@@Lurch-Bot yeah true
Ipason is a great pre built brand, not oerfect, but pretty good, i wouldn't recommend their very high end, I don't think many people go fir that, but their mid tier are pretty solid, been running them for years.
The motherboard is "white". Google's AIs won't stand for that.
What
5:34 Implying Taiwan isn't part of China hmm? Might need to cut that for international audiences
The Chinese subtitles in this video are hilarious. Besides the hardware showcased in this video, there are many other Chinese brands. Tbh, there's no good mb manufacturers in China (at best tier 2 but mostly tier 3 imo [with Asus, Gigabyte, and msi sitting at tier 1]). Thus, Maxsun is usually regarded as a low-tier option in China. Memory sticks-wise, I'd still go with Z skill or Acer. Chinese branded memory sticks are, well, mediocre. SSD, though, the Zhitai showcased in this video is probably the only brand worth mentioning that is manufactured by Chinese companies, but it's a decent option. iGame/Colorful makes some really powerful graphic cards (check out their Vulcan series. They are meant to compete with ROG Strix). Valkyrie makes great water coolers (see their V360. Performance-wise they are comparable to ROG's ryujin 3 water cooler). Great wall's power supply are notoriously (?) known for their reliability so much so they are used by crypto-miners a lot. There's also a brand called Huntkey. Their power supplies are also okay-ish. I'd rate them tier 2. BTW never heard of this pccooler brand. There are so many better (still copycats though) brands making towers. Annnnnd, depending on your political standing, you may consider anything made in Taiwan to be "Chinese" (as most if not all Chinese believe Taiwan is a part of China). Monitor-wise, titan army is probably a better option than KTC had Linus decided to go with the "best" made in China hardware.
Keyboard though, that's a long story. There are soooooo many keyboard manufacturers in China rn. They are all really good and at the same time inexpensive. I mean, don't expect $200 quality from them cuz a lot of them are only $40-$60, but they definitely are a better value than the $200 Filco I own. Mice? Go with Logitech/Razer, unless you are so broke you can only afford a $5-20 mouse.
If I were to build the All China PC: Processor: i5-13490F (that's the only option?) Cooler: Valkyrie V360 (just for the look. It's an overkill) MB: Maxsun/iGame (they are equally bad but that's all we got) Memory: Kingbank (again that's kinda the only option) GPU: iGame Vulcan series (they are GREAT) Hard drive: Zhitai (again probably the option good option) PSU: Huntkey MVP series Tower: Huntkey/Aigo (there are so many great options) Monitor: Titan Army (they are still subpar but better than KTC) Mouse: choose whatever you want (they are equally bad and equally cheap) Keyboard: Aula (F87)/VGN (S99/V98 pro/V87). Y'all need to check out the countless keyboard switches made by Chinese manufacturers. They are insane. Mostly because Cherry's patent expired (?) so anyone can create cherry-like switches now. And Chinese are great at tweaking the specs of cherry-like switches to make them fantastic.
to be able to see new chinese CPUs would have been indeed interesting.....
10:15 Thus defeating the point of the build?
+999 credit score
The build looks actually pretty nice.
Thought you were gonna use Longson 3A6000 CPU and Moore Threads GPU
