      You should of got a 7800x3d and 7900xt it’s more expensive but a lot better for not bottlenecking

    • @jackietechlabs2081

      Also enable SAM (Smart Access Memory) (Resizable BAR)

    • @jackietechlabs2081
      @jackietechlabs2081 Year ago +1

      Also I suggest PBO Tweaking if you want to squeeze more performance and lower temps and overclock the gpu (this won’t up the power unless you bump the power and voltage)

    • @CrashLanded-1
      @CrashLanded-1 Year ago +1

      @jackietechlabs2081 ReBAR is usually enabled by default on these newer boards, also PBO is nice to have on and all but it isn't needed with the 7800X3D in particular.

      @a.s.805 Year ago +35

      @vlad_brk8732 man dont worry about that - ive built like 90% of those without any grounding
      Touching your radiators should be enough to prevent any dmg but even without that you shouldnt encounter problems

    • @vlad_brk8732
      @vlad_brk8732 Year ago +4

      @ thanks man for the confidence, how often do I touch the radiator and also should I pick everything up carefully as in by the sides so I don’t touch the actual pins or anything?

    • @a.s.805
      @a.s.805 Year ago

      @lorderza3629 Year ago

      ​@vlad_brk8732 tbh man with the many pics I've built I haven't paid much attention to it. My advise would be to not build on carpet. Stick to hard floors such as tiles, hard wood or concrete If you were really worried

  • @GetWellSoonR.E.M.

      same, I'll be getting the last parts soon and will also be building my first pc, and this is the first video where I was able to understand what all the cables connecting to the power supply are, I was always confused where what goes

      @GetWellSoonR.E.M.
      @IwrsTheKing007
      You're both gonna do great at building, just remember to use a bit more force than you think you should, the mistakes tend to be when you make yourself worried about it and you just need to make sure things are definitely plugged in properly, the RAM got me when I first did it because I was so scared of breaking something I didnt push it in enough! I actually thought maybe the dimm slot clips just didnt come up by themselves on my motherboard so i put them up myself like a dope but as long as you line it up properly you can push them in and make sure they CLUNK and the clips come up. If its not seated quite right you can feel it kinda pushing back a bit when you try to push, but it'll all go fine and just make sure you read the manual to check what slots to put the sticks in, its probably the 2nd and 4th slots. ALSO when I build I flat pack the cardboard box the case comes in and stand on that because my floors carpeted, and you wanna stay away from carpet cause of the static, but dont worry too much youd have to be really trying to actually damage something. Sorry for the ramble but I know how nervy I was the first time I built something, youre gonna be so happy when you flick the switch and it works!

    • @ashketchum1244
      @ashketchum1244 Year ago +1

      ​@Spawndex Yeah same thing happened to me when I build it last month, I thought the ram was fully in and when I finished the build, it wouldn't post and showed the CPU and Ram error LEDs. I even reseated the ram and it still didn't work. Until I did it a third time with so much more force than I originally tried with, it went in all the way and the PC booted up

  • @ficskala
    @ficskala Year ago +423

    I know this video is 9 months old, but still, i'm gonna leave a comment here highlighting some mistakes/misconceptions, nothing here is a big deal, but just pointing stuff out for people who might watch this in the future, overall this is a pretty good video, as is all of the stuff from this channel, nothing is perfect, but certainly good enough:
    2:58 the notches only apply to some CPUs, most don't have them, best way to know is the little triangle, even thought it's often hard to see
    8:40 the amount of pins has nothing to do with the power a fan draws, it's just 2 different ways fans can be controlled, 4 pin fans have an extra pin which is used to tell the fan how fast to spin, 3 pin fans don't have control built in, modern motherboards however have the ability to modulate the voltage on the power pin of a 3 pin fan, so they can achieve the same result, 4pins is generally the slightly better option since the fan can often spin slower when it's not needed (slower=less noise)
    9:50 while it's true that pins can bend easily, a more common issue is when you try unplugging it, often, the little plastic from the motherboard comes out with the connector, this is where pins often get bent, so make sure to take it out in a straight like away from the board, if the plastic from the board comes out with the connector, don't worry, you can just take it off the connector, and push it back on the board over the pins
    10:41 unfortunately Bog missed by 1 pin, it should be moved one pin to the left, as you can see in the manual page he shows, the pin he plugged into is marked NC, which means literally "Not Connected", this means his reset switch won't work, but that's not a big deal since there's no need to ever use the reset switch on a modern PC, it's not recommended to be used unless your PC is completely unresponsive, and the same effect is achieved by holding down the power button for 5 seconds (that forces the pc to shut off immediately, this is similar to unplugging your pc from the power outlet), and pressing the power button again (to turn the pc on after it was forcibly powered down)
    13:33 when connecting a GPU with multiple 8pin connectors, you should route 2 separate cables, instead of using the daisychained connector on the same cable, the reason here is that you now have half of the actually required wires going into the gpu, you're basically just tricking it into working instead of connecting it properly, it's not a huge deal, but it can cause issues later when the gpu is under heavy load, and in some cases it might just not work at all, so it's always best to use the correct amount of cables
    13:43 plugging in the monitor in your motherboard might result in no picture at all, or as the video says, you might get bad performance due to the pc using your integrated graphics instead of the dedicated one, but in some cases you might not even notice, but still get worse performance than you should since the dedicated gpu might get used to deal with the game, but everything it does would have to go back through the cpu, making an unnecessary detour, so make sure you don't plug in any monitors in the motherboard video ports unless you don't have any other options
    15:30 it's best to use your entire drive instead of making multiple partitions, historically there were benefits on partitioning hard drives like this, but with SSDs it's unnecessary, and it can create issues later if your main partition runs out of space, even though you might have hundreds of gigabytes of free space that you need to move around to make your pc work again, this is a risky procedure, so best to avoid it simply by not creating multiple partitions, and using the entire SSD, this applies to all operating systems, not just windows, your OS will make its own additional partitions that it needs to function automatically
    I'm not gonna be commenting much on the software side of things since it's mostly personal preference, but the video covers some basics on how to deal with windows 11 if you opt to use it

    • @wrawler
      @wrawler 10 months ago +9

      partitioning would help if you wish to dual boot in future

    • @ficskala
      @ficskala 10 months ago +14

      @wrawler yeah, but it's really rare for people to dual boot, and when they do it's usually alongside windows, and dual booting windows with a single drive is generally a bad idea, as windows likes to poke around partitions that don't involve it, and it's known to break installs of linux and hackintosh unless you have windows on a separate drive

    • @wrawler
      @wrawler 10 months ago +10

      @ficskala that's so true. Windows really did fuck things up when i dual booted the first time. Although that was also the issue because of my motherboard (i have a laptop and i found that HP limits users in changing a lot of settings in boot settings). So i just stopped using windows and once in a while when i have this random motivation to go back, i reinstall again and then go back to linux lmao

    • @ficskala
      @ficskala 10 months ago +1

      @EAZYYY25 Year ago +7

      You're a software developer. Not an IT specialist. You know how to type on a keyboard, nothing about system builds/servers and networking, etc.
      I'm an IT engineer, and it's literally impossible to have learnt anything new from this video.
      It was, however, very catchy, quirky and extremely funny with all the small jokes he made. I understand how appealing it is for people that have an interest in building machines.
      Great video, keep it up bud!

    • @LakayFTW
      @LakayFTW Year ago

      @EAZYYY25 Whats your problem man?
      1. Yes i am a Software Developer.
      2. system builds/servers and networking, etc. are basic subject areas in the training programme for IT specialists (regardless of the specialisation) in my country. That concludes that i am a IT Specialist specialised in Software Development.
      3. I, in fact did learn something new from this video, how would you know?
      4. It's nice for you, that you already did knew everything he showed.
      5. Even if you are an IT Enineer, that does not mean you know everything about Hard and Software, most IT Engineer as well as Specialists and even Developers or System Integrators or Admins, can now a lot about other stuff of the big IT and are also be able to not know everything.
      What kind of IT Engineer are you, there are a number of subject areas in which IT engineers work that don't always all mesh together.

      @EAZYYY25 nice of you, to just assume stuff
      1. Yes i am a Software Developer
      2. system builds/servers and networking, etc are a fundamental part of training as an IT specialist (regardless of specialisation) in my country. I also work on server systems as a hobby. Saying i know nothing other than just typing on a keyboard, is not very nice of you. Software Developer ist just my work title.
      3. Since number 2 already specified what a IT Specialist in my country is. I can tell you, that i am in fact a IT Specialist, specialised in Software Development.
      4. I did learn something new from this video, because you cant know everything. How can you proof that i did not learn something new, or that others did not learn something?
      You are basically saying that Bog's video did not give any useful information. Thats not very nice of you. ("it's literally impossible to have learnt anything new from this video")
      5. Good for you that you already knew everything from this video.
      6. You are an IT Engineer? Tell me, what did you actually do? IT Engineers are not doing everything, they also specialise in stuff, like Big Data, AI, Software Developtment or Hardware Maintanance like IT Infrastructures. Hardware and Software Troubleshooting and Helpdesk or first/second level support are not IT Engineer work.
      7. I in fact did work as a Software Developer in a big company and i did work as a System Administator in a small company.

  • @janhradil

    Great job building your first PC man, welcome to the club! I built a few pc's and I have some notes that might help.
    13:35 Daisy chaining PCI-E power like this is a bad idea. You should use two separate power cables because one of those can only handle 150W. Your GPU can go as high as 300W. You will probably be fine overloading it since you got a high quality psu - but it's better to be safe than sorry!
    15:48 There's no reason to partition an SSD for OS. People used to do it on HDDs to have their OS on the outer side of the spinning disc which is faster. It can cause you problems since all the drivers and os updates will be forced to that (C:) partition. Even some programs refuse to install somewhere else than on C. You should be ok with that 100GB though, you'll see if it causes you any trouble.
    23:20 The coil whine usually happens when your GPU outputs high FPS. For me it occurs at 500+ (usually just loading screens for me lol). If it really annoys you, you can get rid of it by limiting your framerate. You probably won't see a difference if you set it to 300 FPS.

    • @OleksandrPanasiuk-h2e
      @OleksandrPanasiuk-h2e Year ago +23

      There is a good reason to partition any drive. If you decide to reinstall windows, you will format C drive and loose all data, that's why I prefer to keep all my data on D drive.

    • @comet1310yt
      @comet1310yt Year ago +6

      about your daisy chaining comment, while you are correct running daisy chained off of one pcie 8 pin is usually fine. the 150W power rating is for an 18 AWG cable, which can only handle ~150W. the corsair rm series and other high end power supplies typically use 16AWG or sometimes 14AWG cables, which can handle well over 300 watts with no issues. i used to run my rx 6900xt daisy chained off of my corsair rm850x, and drawing over 400 watts and was perfectly fine. even still, using multiple power supply cables can help deliver "cleaner" power which can be better (although you will only probably notice it if you are overclocking a LOT, and i mean a lot, like subzero overclocking). theres no harm in running daisy chain (unless maybe its a 4090 or you have a really bad power supply), but theres always no harm in running all the cables.

    • @Aucidy00
      @Aucidy00 Year ago +2

      its also bad moneyise, you're telling the gpu and th cou to give it every ouncee of power it can when leaving the fps uncappedwhich means running on higher wattage levels which leads to more electricity leading up to a higher electricity bill. Just cap the fps to the hz of the monitor because you won't see the difference above 240hz assuming you wouldn't buy a 360hz or 540hz monitor.

    • @mirzu42
      @mirzu42 Year ago +1

      Not gonna lie I kinda wish I had partitioned my drive.
      If I ever have an issue with windows its a lot harder to clean install it without destroying the rest of the data.
      If you have 1 partition you have to probably create another one and move all the files you want to keep to the new partition because I dont think you can install windows on 2 seperate partitions on the same drive

    • @DABABIBABABU

    8:52 This doesn’t mean that it consumes less power. The 4th pin is for PWM (pulse width modulation, or speed control) fans that don’t have the extra PWM pin just run at 100% all the time. So it’s probably the opposite, these fans use more power and are NOISEY.

    15:34 for future reference you should give C drive at least 500GB because even though windows fits fine within 100GB there are a lot of programs that installation directly to the C drive and some programs install big files only to the C Drive which can make it tight. You can always expand the partition size of the C drive in partitions menu in Windows 10/11

    • @ルビー餅
      @ルビー餅 11 months ago

      This^^ but also can just be left it as it is. If it goes kaput everything is gone and no partition will help. Also if you ever need to delete the OS for whatever reason, you'll decrease the likelihood of accidentally deleting your partitions and it just makes it easier the simpler it is.
      Good idea to have separate drives for OS and games/files. 500gb should be enough for OS, you should never fill SSDs to >90%, the lesser the better, I generally never fill over 75%.

    I have some tips for your build:
    9:40 The usb-c connector (type E connector) only goes in one way. Notice how one of the edges is wider than the rest. Specifically, at 9:45 you can see how the pins are slightly off-center.
    10:40 NC is short for no-connection, meaning that pin is just a piece of metal used to fill out empty space (it's there so other connectors can't be plugged in). As it is, the reset switch is not functional and instead needs to be connected to RSTCON# and Ground (notice the two lines below these words at 10:42).
    11:05 I happen to have the same case as you (except white). The 3.5" hard drive "shelves" can be entirely removed from the case so you have more room to work with the power supply. It also results in an opportunity for better airflow (not that it really matters down there).

I got pretty much the same main components as you do in your build, I honestly didn't have the patience for the whole thing, especially cables, they really discouraged me and I couldn't find tutorials that made it any easier to understand the many cables, as a first time builder it can be really frustrating especially if your mobo brand isn't the finest with manuals (I didn't get a manual for some reason).

    I don't think you have to switch the power supply on before you touch it.. as long as it's plugged in.
    They're telling you to touch it because the metal is attached to the bond wire, which is bonded to ground.
    As long as the cable is plugged into it, you shouldn't need to switch it on, as that just connects the line and load sides coming from your service panel, completing a circuit.

    Absolutely fantastic job in this besides the little hiccup with the M.2. I have been building custom pc's for years now including custom water cooling loops and this brought back so many memories. Only 2 things that I would like to add that seems like went unnoticed.
    #1. If you are only running M.2 NVMEs, you can actually disassemble parts of your case near the PSU where you are normally able to mount HDDS. This allows for easier cable management since you don't have all the metal bracings in your way.
    #2. You should always check if your GPU runs better on 2 separate GPU cables for power instead of just the one you plugged in with the splitter at the end.
    Other than that, awesome job bro!
