That Micro Center employee who showed up is literally the coolest dude ever. That is an A1 employee. Dude has helped me and all my friends with our builds.
Great to see employees loving their work.
The Greatest Technician That's Ever Lived
Wasnt expecting to see you here lol, but i love your content and hope i can do something similar
No no he isn't he could have caused alot of damage to that 1st PC just by turning it on like he did without bothering to check if power cables were plugged in properly or for any loose hardware that wasn't seated properly
Wasn't expected, but love your famous line.
@@Athlonite69 You do realize he's making a reference to his own content, right? Check him out, he's pretty funny.
@@Athlonite69 the people at microcenter aren't going to configure a test like this with potentially short circuited connections, and Jay knows this. That would be incredibly unsafe. Put some respect on the man's experience with PCs. 😂😂😂
Really appreciate all of you that work on the channel. You have helped me hundreds of times with builds, overclocking etc. Not only have you helped me and countless others learn a ton, you have made the information easy to digest. Thank you all so so much 🙏🏻
what the heck did they do? well he wanted them to stump him so they have to be creative🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish the uk had nationwide microcentres and newegg stores, makes me want to live in the us
US is so f****d up that even newegg or microcenter won't make me want to move there.
I live in the U.S. and there's nothing near me. It's only very select locations, mostly places like California.
I only know of like 3 micro center stores in the whole US, the one jayz in and two are in cities about 4 hours away from me
The US doesn't have nationwide microcenters.
TN has an NFL football team a NHL hockey team and an NBA team but no microcenters.
OH has 2 and GA has 2 for example. There are several states that don't have a microcenter. So if you live in TN like I do you would have to go to OH or GA. The Toasty Bros who live in Louisville KY go to one of the OH microcenters.
If I stay in TN I would likely go to one of the GA ones.
I say if I stay because I am thinking of moving to another state which while it also lacks microcenters is closer to OH. I am retiring and want out of TN but I would like to either get my pc upgraded or get a more powerful one.
I have 2 pcs one an older Cyberpower that I bought at a pawn shop many years ago but it still runs albeit barely and a ABS from Newegg that was given to me as a present. I play games on the ABS but it is a starting to show its age and having issues so I would like to get it upgraded or replaced.
Finding somewhere in the UK for PC parts is a nightmare. Pretty much stuck with Amazon.
I have a powerspec pre-built and it's great. When I got it home I noticed a noise that seemed to be coming from the power supply. I took the system back to get looked at and they said they could not here the noise but would replace the power supply just in case. They also noticed the AIO I had was under recall and they replaced that as well. I was not charged a dime and I do not have an extended warranty. A+ customer service.
It never ceases to amaze me that after 40 years in the business I can still make just as many rookie mistakes as I always did! Looks like I'm not alone! 🤣🤣🤣
would have been funny had they put an old msi bios on then set the year to 3955 and installed windows to corrupt the windows install🤣🤣
I used to build servers, workstations, and business desktops for HP around the time they merged with Compaq, so I've been doing it for about a minute too. I still find myself making little dumb mistakes once in a while.
I laughed when Jay was in a fault finding competition with Linus and he thought no NVME was installed because it was stuck on the heat sink.
We have all done that sort of thing.
@@alexedwards6509 well you have I have not because I am smarter then you🤣🤣
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue your not
I think most of us are grateful that you do what you do Jay! A lot of viewers including myself don't live near micro center so this really helps!
I wouldn't rely on anything Jay did he could have shorted out hardware in that system just by turning it on before making sure everything was plugged in or seated properly infact what he did here was the actions of a very poor technician and could cost alot of money in replacement hardware
@@Athlonite69 I've been building PC's for years. Nothing he did would damage the hardware. Nice try!
Greg Salazar would be proud, WTG Jay 🤣
For some reason whenever im having a crappy day and i start a jay video and hes up beat and positive and happy, it makes me in a better mood for sure. Helps alot to be distracted and see what jay has on the go
Same here, I sometimes just put on any video from JayzTwoCents to have it running in the background because it's like having friends in the background doing stuff. I just realized it sounds like I don't have any friends, and I kinda don't but I'm a "Sigma Male" and like my solitude. But sometimes it's nice just to have something other than music running in the background that you don't have to listen to, too closely. I also watch derbauer like this. Radio is too damn boring to listen to and they play crap music 9/10 times.
@@sykoteddy Totally agree and im the same way, i can caveman for months and be just fine but also nice to ahve somthing playin in the background, i always have neebs gaming in the background
@@sykoteddy i agree, i usually play also the videos of Dr.DisRespect on my background as well, you can try his videos, amazing and interactive gamer
The plastic. Somehow I knew it before Jay discovered it.🤣
Interesting to learn it actually has a spreading function!
@@francoisleveille409 True, but I hate dealing with thermal paste mess, so I use Thermal Grizzly KryoSheets on all of my builds.
No you didn’t why lie
Me too! When he first removed the cooler and didn't look at the cooler plate, I was thinking "check for the plastic, Jay!" 🤣
Yeah me too 😂 it was just so obvious
Coming off of Gamer's nexus's new video, that sponsor was well timed LMAO
was about to say the same thing 🤣
OMG haha, this was gold!
LOL same here, literally. WTF!
@@UberTombLord And this is why I skip ALL sponsor spots. Many good RUclipsrs seem to just not give a fuck who they're being sponsored by as long as the check clears.
Now that is a very bad sponser!
You guys are great. You all always seem to be enjoying the work that you do and that's part of what brings me consistently back. Thank you for all the presentation of concise information that you make so easy to absorb. Take care of yourself so you can continue the good and entertaining work that you all do. You guys are more like rock stars than you might ever know.
This was a really fun and interesting video - please do more of these!
You are so lucky to have a Microcenter near you. Closet one to us is mre than a 2 hour drive to a different state. The on that is in NJ is 50% further than the one in PA is from us.
Great content Jay... Learning from ones mistakes is the most efficient way. And the attention to detail and focus is a must have.
You are very good at working on PC`s Jay. I really enjoy watching your channel and learning from you.
This is a fun series that microcenter needs to do with creators!!
I really loved this , I’ve been a fan for a longtime and I feel like this content would be super helpful for any knowledge level
Loved the video. Love that exact MC branch. Good bunch. Good laugh. Happy days. Cheers J.
More of this, please!
This is so cool! I love your troubleshooting videos, and this one takes the cake.
Was on Vacay in SoCal couple weeks ago and took a trip to the tuston Microcenter, i wish SO bad they'd do this overhaul to the one in my state, its so nice.
This was a fun video to watch! TY!
I actually didn't know about the fan pulling through a heatsink pulling air from the sides thing, I always knew it was less efficient but I never knew the reason.
This is good because it helps us know how to troubleshoot in real time. Nice job sir. And don’t feel bad it happens to the best of us. I’ve left off the backplate because I was so excited to get it up and running 😂
Watching you troubleshoot these in this manner was far more educational than I had thought it would be. Like a checklist of things to check in an ALREADY ASSEMBLED PC, which is quite a bit different from the BUILDING IT approach we’re used to.
Things that should have been checked long before turning that PC on for the first time by doing what he did with that first PC he could have caused shorts and killed the ram or anything else that wasn't seated properly also not making sure that the power plugs on the PSU weren't plugged into their respective sockets could also have caused damage
More of these types of vids. I like the topic of diagnostics. Its both entertaining and educational.
I wish we had 'tech bars' like that over here in the Netherlands. Simply because I no longer have the strength to do a lot of that. Having said that I would also struggle to get a PC into a store with a Tech Bar... so scratch that.
I love micro-center even though I have to drive 2 hours there. They got everything you could need. Can’t wait to go back and get some upgrades for my rig
Jay, you are the best. Wish you good health and great projects
Nice catch on the plastic. , a friend of mine had left one of the old paper covers on his cooler.. always had thermal issues with the computer, and gave it away... made a reliable secondary computer...
I really wish there was a Micro Center close to where I live. That Hyte PC case looks really sweet, on another note.
This is a really good video concept, hope you do more of these videos. Love my local Micro Cemter.
love the microcenter ads. a good place. they look like salesman. but know their stuff. and you edit in the fun shots with jay. thx phil. :)
I just have to say, The HYTE Y70 (your ad lol) is probably my second favorite PC case behind the Corsair 4000D Airflow. I just love how they went a different direction with the case and did their own thing. The power button location is my favorite aspect of that case. Anyhow back to the video lol.
I recently got into Gregg Salazar's Fix or Flop series on here and now i want to see him and Jay compete head to head diagnosing and repairing several systems like this.
I stand by it that PC Building simulator is a fantastic way to learn the basics of pc troubleshooting without risking yours or someone else's computer.
I enjoyed this, thank you Jay.
Thank you Jay, I find you're videos very interesting and helpful especially that I am a rookie pc builder and learning all the ends and outs of this industry.
Thanks for your work !! as always :-) greetings from germany
Electronics tech since 1970; with that said I use to fix Heathkits for people who built them.
Built a couple dozen myself. You learn by experience to look for almost invisible signs of the history of what what was put in front of you to work on. I have done more than a few dozen computer build fault findings..... IF you want to be good at this you need to engage yourself in as many of these kinds of builds as you can find.
You would think Geek Squad would tur5n out some SuperStars in this field....
Nope it is those of us who love the hardware enough to dig deep into it enough to have an understanding of what is going on...
Love your videos Jay...
Take Care........
I really enjoyed watching this video. Very fun Jay.
Awesome Video please more of that stuff.🤙👍
I have bad anxiety and shit. I am so glad you are doing what you do. I get this endorphin feeling when I see specific RUclipsrs post a new "GOOD" video.
I thought of un-seated RAM 1st as soon as it didn't post. Such a classic one.
This is the best type of videos on My opinion. Thank`s for diversified interesting ideas of videos on Your channel!
I build PC's and have worked IT for a major company. I had a build about 15 years ago when I was still new that I just could get to run stable. I didn't have parts to swap. I brought it in to the tech bar and they got the PC running. Turned out one of the RAM sticks was bad and the CPU was defective. They swapped the parts and charged me their minimum fee since the could handle the defective return. That experience turned me into a life time Microcenter fan even though I live an hour away.
Loved this video. Thank you
I love the Tech Bar at Microcenter, because they have the tools I don't have at home. I bought a cheap little Asus Laptop and immediately bought a M.2 for it for storage, and took both of them over to the Tech Bar and they just popped open the laptop and installed the M.2 drive for me. At the time, I didn't have a knockoff iFixit kit at home to use to pop open the laptop. Now I do.
Great video to show potential mistakes. Thanks Jay!
And boy didn't he make some doozies like turning on that first PC before even checking to make sure everything was seated or plugged in properly that's a rookie mistake and he should never have done it
Jay, I just wanted to tell you that if you're having fun, we're having fun. Thanks for being a joy and letting us live vicariously through your adventures!
Gratz on breaking 4m subs team!!
Nice timing with the Hyte case ad. Did you see the video from Steve about the copy?
That was a nice one. A few very dirty things like the plastic on an old cpu. Or the cmos battery that was hidden. Or the LED that was plugged into itself and then taped together. But you found all of them.
Very good skills and the way you did it also made a lot of sense. Personally i would not agree with let the CPU cooler run without a fan just with passive cooling from the case fans but i also don't know the timeline. A few minutes are properly ok but i would not let it run for hours like this.
Great video Jay thanks
reminds me of my first computer class for Computer Operations Certification, we had a printing assignment and printer was not hooked up, had to retrace the cables.
When I go to the Charlotte soft opening, I'm hoping that a man of your stature might be there. I know there will be some tech tubers there but really hoping you're there.
BeQuiet PSUs don't cut power to the system when you turn off the switch at the back. You can't turn on the computer, but it still feeds it power, including powering some USBs, etc. Only way to cut the power is to pull the plug
I can't stop watching your videos
Well done jay
Wish Micro Centre were in the UK as well.
Phil pulling his knife with this nice half-life audio - Phil you are the best
Just Rolled In is a great channel. Quick videos and right to the point on the situations. aas
You didn't turn it off then on again. Mission failed, we'll get 'em next time.
This would be a nice little program that Micro Center can do to teach people how to build PCs and how to troubleshoot it.
Wish I got to build one for them and have Jay take a look at it so I would know my mistake!
We need more!
Please Microcenter come to Phoenix AZ!
Things I like about Micro Center is you can see and buy in person. Things I don't like is the nearest store is over 100 miles away from me, they don't have the parts I want either in stock or don't carry, their website is hard to navigate to find the parts and They don't have Shipping on all. (example: Ram I want G-Skill ram and I click DDR5 ram and they say 1 or 2 when building my list).
GG! That was fun to watch!
That was great, thanks.
I wish there was something like Microcenter in France, I'd go out more often.
I really like these kind of videos keep doing them and try to fix :)
Someone I knew had that second problem before
Tjat was cool🎉 i like. Thank you for this kind of content 👍🏻😎
On system 1 I wouldn’t have caught the GPU fans not spinning due to being unplugged. Then when the temperature shot up it would have confused the living daylights out of my the card was so hot.
The rest I would have got, I think, it just would have taken longer.
Very educational video on fault finding. Thank you.😀
Microcenter! Come to Northern CA soon!!!!!
Just Rolled In ftw :P
Very informative video btw :D - Who knew PC troubleshooting could be...a game :D
Good job Jay
Hey Jay, I liked this video! Good stuff!
Hi Jay. Here's how I would get you. I'd remove the AIO and install a 'be quiet, pure loop' AIO. Before I placed it in the case, I would open the fill port and drain about half of the coolant.
Haaaaa the plastic sheat, it happen ones to me, while building a hard tube line.... Hopefully my brain have think about it before the filling ^^
Very appreciated..
i wish we still had Vobis or a Microcenter in Germany
"Alright gimme a damn knife!" Me after about five minutes of dealing with my own cable management 🤣
Cuts all cable there we go cable management just kidding.
Cables are the worst part of building PCs.
these are fun videos, man I wish I had a micro center near me
Brilliant.
Watched this video and realized my ram sticks needed to be swapped for optimal performance. Still learning things after being out the PC building world for 15 years.
I think you did an outstanding job at troubleshooting. It's even harder not knowing what the symptoms are! Soooo, if you ever stop making content (though we hope you never do) you can always go to work as a tech at Micro Center! As far as the AIO was concerned, it would have been much more diabolical if they somehow drained all the coolant out instead of plastic. THAT would have been a tough one to figure out.
Jay boss as soon as you turn off psu just hit power button to kill remain electricity rest in system before removing or adding anything on it. ❤️
Love these kinda vids Jay there fun to watch and educational
The only thing he's teaching here is how to damage hardware. He should never have turned on that 1st PC without first checking that everything was either plugged in correctly or seat properly by doing what he did he could have caused more damage than he fixed he was just lucky that nothing died
@Athlonite69 who cares it was fun to watch... nobody is perfect! I bet you have never made a mistake
@Athlonite69 been awfully quiet now for someone who had alot to say previously 😂
You solved most problems pretty fast not bad it all.
My first hand-me-down gaming PC only had 4 GB of RAM and then my buddy gave me a single 8 GB stick. So of course I was only running three sticks of RAM and they were a total of 12 gigs. But it improved a lot. Mismatch ram works sometimes
Wow, Tustin is my local microcenter also. 998 mile drive, but it is closer than denver.
My cooler fan is pulling (my case is special), it works fine. You said because air can flea out the sides but when pushing the problem is exactly the same.
I loved this video, 2cents to the rescue !
Aww rough i use one of those cooler master AIOs in my pc, they actually work pretty good even when i have a 240w overclock on my 10900k.
This was a fun watch. IRL PC Building Simulator! 😆🤣
This one was a really cool vid. Good job
Always remember at uni a guy stripping out a PC that had been sabotaged by the lecturer, he had it in bits and never thought of checking the kettle lead, the fuse had been pulled from the plug 😂😂
customer states the computer self destruct on boot up🤣🤣
Hilarious! Keep it up Jay! 😂
The only thing missing from the perfection of this video was the Happy Tree friends jingle at the end 😝👍
