    When I built my pc, I connected the motherboard instead of the gpu and didn't notice for 3 years. There went my unused gtx 770

    I built my first pc a few months ago. It was fairly straight forward and no issues whatsoever. I enjoyed building it.

    Just bought a pc from a buddy of mine tried to start it up first time after installing some ram in it didn’t do anything... turns out I knocked a wire loose and I had no clue what the problem was without this video. You saved someone’s life today good sir 👍

    i build my first own rig a feew weeks ago and i made several of this mistakes, most noticeably, not screwing the risers, fortunatelly none of them damaged the pc or the components, i ended up noticing them and solving them on my own and now its perfect

    Thank you so much for this video. Had an issue with a new build, all plugged in and nothing works. After watching this I figured that I had a riser that shorted the mobo...

    Great video. I've always neglected to install all the motherboard riser screws. Your videos has changed my mind. It has shown me the importance of having all the screws in place. Only thing about this video that is sort of confusing is thermal paste. It just seems like it's too little to me. Overall, this is a very informative video!

    • @DerekGoo
      @DerekGoo 7 лет назад +3

      a little bit of thermal paste goes a long way when you put the cpu cooler on

    @KautiousNupe 7 лет назад

    I am soooo in need of this video! Gave you a like and subscribed. It took me three days to build my first PC..and all it does is start up (the lights turn on and the fans spin..) and then 5 seconds later it turns back off. It does this over and over again in an endless loop and I can not figure out what I've done wrong. Hoping this video brings some clarity to my frustrating situation...!

  • @cedrickmoore5459
    @cedrickmoore5459 7 лет назад +84

    @elcajondavid1 7 лет назад +3

    Great video for a newbie. I think the hardest part for me, is connecting the wires up, because I have big hands. Sometimes I have to use needle nose pliers in the tight spots, which I am always afraid of dropping them on the motherboard.

    @automata8476 7 лет назад +1

    can i ask a question about the pc power supply..if i am traveling overseas and bringing my pc with me do you just replace the power supply that is compatible to the country or maybe just replacing the plug(only) without changing the power supply that you already have in the pc..and also how to know which power supply is the right choice..is it just by purchasing a power supply doesn't matter what brand it is or the exact same brand as the first but with same amount of watts as your first power supply or maybe anything that is near the range as the first.

    is a 650w gold psu enough for for an overclocked 6700k and an overclocked gtx 970?

    • @Sulfen
      @Sulfen 7 лет назад

      Yes that's what I was running with no issues. I'd get a 750w just to be on the safe side if you can afford it since PSUs are usually warrantied for 3-10 years so you'll want them to be future proof.

    So I have a question might be dumb but I want to know that way I can fix it now I recently built my pc with just the cpu, motherboard, gpu, and pwr supply so I’m still missing my ram and hard drive. When I turn the pc on it turns on and off and no display so did I 100 percent build it wrong or is this happening just because I haven’t gotten my ram or hard drive yet

    Thank you so much for the awesome video, I've been having a problem with my PC. I was doing some bitcoin mining for a few days and kept my PC running day and night when it started shutting off by itself. Can this be my thermal paste that's not applied correctly and causes my CPU to overheat after long times of running? I'm really worried, I struggled keeping it on last night but its working quite today. Haven't me problems again.

    @lefthandright01 6 лет назад

    These are all solid points for first timer P.C assemblers.
    The only one I would add would be;keep a bottle 100% iso alcohol and lint free cloth. If you accidentally touch any of the gold connectors on the P.C.I.e devices, then clean the visible finger prints off.
