@@dark_game7106absolutely not lmao, the only games they’d be good for are the much smaller games but if you’ve played anything on an SSD, it’s a night and day difference
Using a hard drive is not a mistake. Because you can use an m.2 or sata ssd as your boot drive, and also use another ssd and a bigger hard drive for larger files.
Ideally, you'd pick a case that had sane airflow setup in the first place. I'm not sure what case that is, but I certainly would want at least side mount fans toward the front, to ensure air is actually making it across the components properly. Lack of airflow hinders performance of more parts than most realize.
I have something similar. It's a negative pressure case. It sucks in air through the bottom, air moves up through the case via thermal convection (coolest air is sucked up through the bottom - notice the mesh bottom and 2x120mm fan mounts they decide to omit?, as air warms up it gets warmed up it rises) the movement is promoted by the fans upward. Air can go up and down, not just front to back. The top exhaust fans are so close to ram/vrm and mosfets that there's plenty of air cooling. Also for whatever reason they opted to remove the bottom intake fans, which would be force feeding the graphics card cool air. I've got a 6750xt + 3900x air cooled with nothing special air cooling - just a 120mm Thermalright Assassin and there's literally 0 difference to a comparable size case. My setup was in a more traditional layout case - Antec NX200m previously. Their actual advice is awful however - reversing the fan to an intake? When it's right next to 2 exhaust fans? Any cool air is immediately dumped out so it's effectively worthless. It doesn't go anywhere except straight out.
i have this same case from what i can tell its the Okinos Aqua 3 micro atx case and it comed with the three pre installed fans and i tried putting the fans in the front but theyre too big to go there and the bottom so you could only put them two on top and one in the back the actual Picture shows to put all the fans as exhaust and like the guy said on top of this the fresh cool air is supposed to naturally come from the bottom up
Don't use a HDD as the boot and primary drive, yes. But HDDs can offer more storage for cheaper (16TB for the price of about a 4TB NVME), so if you just want a place to dump pictures (and other files where speed isn't necessary and/or you don't use often) an HDD is perfect.
As somebody who has been building PCs for over two decades, the IO shield is *always* forgotten and then you have to take it all apart again to get it on
For the fan, I disagree, the case is set on a negative airflow and air well find it's way through the mesh below in your case for example. the recommendation is to install fans on the lower plate where the mesh resides. the point you've noted for flipping the rear fan will make the PC a literal dust collector.
Completely agree - it's also basic thermodynamics, hot air rises. You want to exhaust the hottest air out of the case which will rise to the top. In most cases the mounting point for exhaust fans should be the top of the case. Also it's kinda dumb but he recommends reversing the rear exhaust into an intake, but guess what's right next to it? 2x120mm fans exhausting. Any cool air the 1x120 rear fan pulls in is immediately exhausted by the 2x120mm. So it's a pointless exercise. At best it will cool the rear i/o which doesn't produce much if any heat. My biggest problem is why is that build using an aftermarket flower style heatsink in 2024? It's not a low profile build either so it makes no sense to not use a tower style.
Using a Hard dive is perfectly fine for storage. While some modern games don't like running off a hard drive, the majority of them will run perfectly. If you play a game a lot you can also put it on the SSD for better load times.
Fair enough, I wish I seen this before I built my first PC, but you learn by making errors and it’s good because it gives you a better in depth understanding what went wrong.
HDDs are good for bulk storage. a good idea is to use a 256 GB SSD as your boot drive (has windows 10 + favorite games on it) and a 2 TB HDD (has normal games on it) and the whole thing costs only 75 bucks.
Actually it's ok to install all fans to suck air from inside, it actually creates a negative current that makes the inside more cooler but the downside dust accumulates faster, and don't forget to change your tower cooler air current direction if you change back fan to suck air from outside.
It depends on the thermal paste. The regular one is fine if you pour “too much” since it’ll leak out the sides, and you can clean it up and it doesn’t short anything. Metal thermal paste is dangerous, and CAN kill your motherboard if it leaks out. (However, don’t let the thermal paste get under the CPU, no matter which one)
I disagree with the Hard Druve point. Hard Drives are not that slow if maintained properly and are dirt cheap. If you want to be efficient, install the operating system on an SSD or a small dedicated hard drive and use a big sized hard drive for the rest of your files. Remember to Defragment regularly as a routine and you'll be good to go
Always check the fans of any prebuilt as well. My nephew purchased a prebuilt with every fan set to exhaust. The thermal paste on his CPU cooler was also so thin it appeared dried out. Don't assume that all of the people building prebuilts know what they are doing. A PC bought at a box store can have just as many mistakes, if not more, than one built by a new builder.
When I built my 2013 PC, hard drives were still a decent cost saving option. When I checked in 2023, there was no savings to be had, so no common reason to get one anymore, heh.
Use an SSD for your C: HDDs are a good choice for misc stuff and small pagefiles Also move your userfolders to your HDD to spare your SSD from write cycles
when it comes to cooling it can depend on your solutions (water vs air), ambient conditions (fans and temps), and case placement (under or ontop of desk). While the best default is to have a close to even set up with a bias to intake, my current set up actually performs best with a heavy bias on exhaust, 0 intake allowing for BOTH my 5700x3d and 3080 to peak out at around 70-75 C under full load
the ram.. THE R A M S T I C K S are so nerve wrecking! They take an unsual amount of force if you're not used to it. Thought I was going to end up bending my rams XD
HDD's are good for extremely important things, since worst case scenario you can still pull the data out of an HDD. An SSD failing will completely destroy any data in it. Also, especially because of how expensive PC's are, putting it together is *very* nerve racking at first. But you *do* have to muscle some parts in like the RAM and sometimes GPU. They're not nearly as sensitive as you think, shove it down and pop them in, but they are still fragile. *DON'T hammer them in with your fist.*
SSD FOR A BOOT DRIVE, HDD FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. Unless you're gonna be doing consistent mass file transfers the benefit of SSD over HDD really isn't that noticeable.
I work in the Computer field and its actually ok to use a HDD as a game drive for just your games and other data. I do recommend a SSD for the OS drive but thats not the case for all HDD drives the one's I recommend are Western Digital Black drives because they were made to be gaming drives. you can argue that they aren't but I use one and I have been testing them for years.
Out of these, with the years of pc building, i have bent a pin and had to reset it and i have installed a board without the io shield And have bleed too because of a cheap sharp case
when i was younger i once shorted my computer parts because i didn't add those motherboard standoffs.. i was wondering why the system wouldn't turn on and ultimately my PSU exploded with smoke coming out of it.. everything else in that PC survived but the PSU was toast.
You are correct but I’ll as that having one fan as intake while the other 2 are aghast creates negative pressure which sucks dust in from every seam on the tower. That case is just horribly designed imo.
this particular case is build to have negative pressure on the back and top and another 2 fans on the bottom for positive pressure because front and side bottom is all mesh okinos aqua 3 btw
HDDs for games, SSDs for often used applications, especially with modern game sizes having alot of storage space is necessary, and HDDs are the cheapest option for it, besides most games can't even take full advantage of the extra speed anyways.
my best storages config for boot drive a sata SSD they're cheap to replace if die early faster and longer lifespan than HDD, HDD for everything important and old games, nvme/m.2 for games that will use fast storage speed
He should have been more specific on the hard drive part. Don’t use it for your operating system. It works just for storage. I store my games on my 2Tb WD drive.
Most I/O shields have metal tabs that function as grounding pads between the IO shield and the ports to minimize ESD and channel it through to the case. It's absolutely incomprehensible to me that we still have detachable I/O shields this far into ATX's lifetime.
@@LabCat not every motherboard has the same port layout, and only the high-end motherboards have integrated I/O shields. But why are there still fiddly little wires for the front panel (power, reset, HDD LED, etc. instead of a standard for it? That's annoying. Ultimately it's because neither of these things were codified by any standards organizations.
I just built a PC yesterday. It's a very strange build. GTX970 / 3th Gen i7 / 32GB DDR3 / (New) 650W PSU / 2TB HDD, 128GB SSD. Everything in a Feactal Design case. It's surprisingly good. Total was less than 250€ because I bought the parts used except PSU which was 100€. 😂
HDD are fine for storing games or any of that sorta stuff yest there's bit of extra load time for games but performance wise there is no difference at all so if you're building a pc and can't afford fancy pc gear try looking through old tech from 10yrs ago you'll find it's all still relevant still and will work just fine saving you heaps of money
@Maroon-star why I've pulled heaps yes you get a few that die on you that's why you use them as a game drive as you can always just re download your games to a new drive from steam I wouldn't use it as a boot drive as old SSD drives are more reliant (I use an on samsung 500gb sata6 drive) and have other random 250gb+ drives for games or files that I don't really care about losing as being a IT person you inevitably know you will lose it at some point

“Up to 10 times faster than a hard drive” yeah a 10,000 RPM hard drive
Even a veterant like me does errors.
Double check can save your day.
Too much thermal paste never hurt anybody
what is the good video editing pc and Monitor for my career??😊
He should have been more specific on the hard drive part. Don’t use it for your operating system. It works just for storage. I store my games on my 2Tb WD drive.
You can shove in the io shield after. I did it
Nah what is your pfp bro, i actually thought it was a pp for a sec
Most I/O shields have metal tabs that function as grounding pads between the IO shield and the ports to minimize ESD and channel it through to the case.
It's absolutely incomprehensible to me that we still have detachable I/O shields this far into ATX's lifetime.
@@LabCat not every motherboard has the same port layout, and only the high-end motherboards have integrated I/O shields.
But why are there still fiddly little wires for the front panel (power, reset, HDD LED, etc. instead of a standard for it? That's annoying.
Ultimately it's because neither of these things were codified by any standards organizations.
Last one is too late for me
Same. I did it my first build because I sat it to the side and forgot about it.
I’m building my first pc at 11. Thanks for this vid
The last one I may have done wrong 💀
Too much thermal paste is way better than too little.
And the most important step Installing the Ryzen 4070
Is it important to ground yourself as in building my first pc tomorrow
My setup
OS & Modern Games runs on ssd
Movies & Ancient games runs on my hdd
Feels like a video from 2018
I use harddrive for backup not main drive
Thanks
Anyone who’s built a pc know to put ALOT of pressure when pulling down that FUCKIBG LEVER on the cpu
So true. It requires an uncomfortable amount of force
@@shadowguy1a great way to explain it
When I made my first pc i made 2 mistakes 1 forgot the io sheald 2 I didn't put the cabels in fully cus I was being to safe
Im confused, what am i supposed to do if there is a riser in the wrong place?
Take it out
Take it out or put electrical tape over it
@@CryBlade oh i can lol
Oh the glorious GTX 580 🥰
"this intel cpu will not work with this amd motherboard." well that sounds like a defeatist attitude.
there are some HDDs that are as fast as SSDs
Causal yoshi island music in the background 🙂↕️
This video is basically ment for 2019 audience not for 2024 🧐
I just built a PC yesterday. It's a very strange build.
GTX970 / 3th Gen i7 / 32GB DDR3 / (New) 650W PSU / 2TB HDD, 128GB SSD. Everything in a Feactal Design case. It's surprisingly good. Total was less than 250€ because I bought the parts used except PSU which was 100€. 😂
Old but not strange
Dang, I have that shirt too.
Searching for “instructions unclear…” ahh comment
Fr
how is io shield still a problem we need to revise the design
HDD are fine for storing games or any of that sorta stuff yest there's bit of extra load time for games but performance wise there is no difference at all so if you're building a pc and can't afford fancy pc gear try looking through old tech from 10yrs ago you'll find it's all still relevant still and will work just fine saving you heaps of money
i still wouldnt recommend them unless you already have them
@Maroon-star why I've pulled heaps yes you get a few that die on you that's why you use them as a game drive as you can always just re download your games to a new drive from steam I wouldn't use it as a boot drive as old SSD drives are more reliant (I use an on samsung 500gb sata6 drive) and have other random 250gb+ drives for games or files that I don't really care about losing as being a IT person you inevitably know you will lose it at some point
@@Maroon-star also a re-format and optimization helps bring them to a stable usable state without crashing or anything like that so you're free to pull them form wherever and most people don't have 3k lying around to build a pc some might only have $600 to try and make a pc that's worth $1,200 beggers can't be choosers also I don't have a spec of rgb my build is 100% blacked out
@@hazardous2593 yeah but if your in the process of buying parts do not buy a hdd because they suck unless you already have them because its free storage
@@Maroon-star HDD don't suck a 2tb barracuda can run at 7200 speeds are more then enough for gaming not for high use snappy access like video editing or game making yes as they're too slow for those workloads and I never said buy and old HDD if you can buy new like the one I stated earlier in this comment 2tb 7200rpm brand new for $80 us the best price for storage however if you happent to have old computers lying around or know someone that just want to get rid of an old pc take them as they may hold super expensive parts that still Cosy over $100 a piece that will still function perfectly if never overloaded other then that you sould always choose SSD over HDD as a boot drive or game editor drive as it will better utilize those speeds and to be frank there hardly a noticeable difference between a cheap SSD and a HDD loading games and runs 0 risk to your pc along as you've had experience building before (or at least have watched pc builders and actually take notes on what you're doing unlike most people on here with a big mouth and zero idea of how computers actually work (I own a tripple monitor setup with a full pc tower all built myself even the pc) it's like parts to a bike once you learn it's easy to understand but most importantly alot of the "tips" on here are the most basic beginner stuff and or stereotypical bs that's nit actually true or taken out of proportion as long as you have no bloatware have the pc set up properly with correct drivers and control panel power option set to high or ultimate performance mode to actually utilize your full GPU, CPU ,RAM ,PSU ect... other then that make sure your pc monitor is minimum 60hz but not more then the fps you pc can produce (60hz=60fps+) other then that nothing else matters "gamine mice" don't exist just buy a professional mouse heck logitch has worked for years with their $20 mounse and keyboards that last longer then a xbox 360 controller just be aware of the bs flying around the internet these people have shares in certain pc companies and whatnot so they will make videos to make you feel FOMO when in reality there's no difference just like 120hz to 240hz just enjoy what you may have and find the cheapest ways to upgrade (physically) as tech is tech just because a buddy ran doom on it once doesn't mean the HDD or whatever is worse then new when in fact it's equal if not better price to performance then buying new and again nothing is "old" as long as you're not afraid to get your hands dusty and clean the parts and test you'd be surprised what the avg person throws away and has zero clue about
