What extraordinarily good editing! Very impressive content and superb hardware
That edit at 2 minutes was slick.
I'm glad RUclips recommended me your video I was just in the process of building a very similar PC over the weekend 7950x + 4090. Unfortunately I don't have a custom wooden case to put it in, I hope your channel blows up, the videos are super high quality. I hope to buy a P1S soon to try and start making cool projects
Builders of the world, unite! I'm going to do some benchmarking for the next video - that's the exciting part for me! Thank you for your kind comments, I try my best!
There's something great about women who can build a computer 🙂
Hi Katie. You produced a very informative video with excellent editing and no music; thank the Good Lord. More PC-related videos, please. I can't find PC Build #2.
Thank you! That's very kind of you to say! I haven't really got a clue what I'm doing, but I'll try my best! (and yes, music can be nice if done quietly, but I'll try and avoid the seemingly obligatory loud metal soundtrack....!!! ;) ) Think you were commenting on video #2, but here's the first one in case that's what you meant: ruclips.net/video/3USz-99FfBs/видео.html Video #3 coming soon..... ;)
Hi, Katie, and I hope you are having a nice day. All PC builders need one of those. Thanks for such a pleasant reply. I'll check out your link, as I would like to watch you build the PC. Please keep your PC videos coming. @@handsonkatie
@@handsonkatie Hi Katie, looking forward to PC Build Video #3, big fan of home build pc's and cases.
That is a really lovely PC build, puts my ryzen 1600 to shame lol😂 I think it's time for an upgrade ;) i build my own pc's too, so satisfying, if frustrating at times when it doesn't go right😂 and I always forget to turn the PSU on, you'd think I would remember but no
Oh I'm glad it's not just me then, Leona! 😂 😂 Still it's better that smoke and fire, I guess....!
See you've upgraded to the P1S. Are you loving it like I am? It prints zero drama so far.
I've actually now got three of them, so yes I think they're awesome! 😂😂😂
Nice work, i'm jealous of the components list you have!
Well don't speak too soon - I'm benchmarking in the next video, so you'll laugh if it's slower than my old rig...! 😂😂😂
I did a build over the weekend as well, I could of used a pair of tiny hands, but at least I didn't cut myself on the sheet metal of the case like I have in the past.
🤣 I'll have to rent my hands out! They are handy for jobs like this! But glad you survived!
Very much enjoying this. I will be doing my build this week and am all excitement and nervousness. Watching you is both cathartic, informative and fun. 🙂
Thank you! Glad you're finding it useful!! Best of luck with your build, it's a nervous moment when you first switch it on....!
@@handsonkatie Sure was a nervous moment for me, when I switched on my newly built PC and... nothing happened. 🙈 Opened the case up again to discover that I'd forgotten, in all my enthusiasm, to attach one of the main power cables to the mother board. 🤪 D'oh! Oh well, it was easily solved. ;-)
@@RichardNobel happens to us all!!
Very nice
awesome
I'm subscriber #495!!! Great video by the way!!
You're super special then! 🥰
Fast boot times with a Ryzen 7950X, 4 x NVME drives, and ASUS motherboard. How is that working out for you? It sure didn't equate to fast boot times for me!
It's very fast indeed - you checked bios settings? Wonder if something slowing you down?
@@handsonkatie It's odd in that only boot time is slow. Read and write speeds are exactly what they should be. My Nvme is a Samsung 2TB 990 pro. Motherboard is a strix X670E A. But boot time is as slow as a HDD boot time! I've put it down to having 4 RAM sticks for now, but there are a couple of things in the bios I've been meaning to try. It's been suggested to try disabling fast boot, and enabling context restore.
Do you need to activate Fast Boot in BIOS so that it skips some checks at startup? Otherwise it takes time to get feedback from all components... You should see servers or HEDT with 128GB+ of RAM, snooze fest.
Ah, that's interesting - have you tried with two sticks as a test? Can't see it being anything to do with your drives, they're plenty fast enough. You could be right regarding 4 x RAM
- that's why I went with 2 x 48GB DIMMs until they sort out the bios firmware for 4 x sticks as 128gb+ support is pretty patchy. I plan to just slot in an extra two when support is there to take me to 192GB.... (a girl can never have enough RAM, eh?? ;) ) @@amartin3893
@@handsonkatie Golly , your RAM sticks are enormous :D I suspect my 128GB kit is going to slow down boot time until the engineers work it out. Hurry up Asus!
Nice video production and editing! The transitions with the products appearing was well done and pretty seamless. I really like those animated callouts too - Did you make those or are they in the Adobe suite?
😂😂 Well I'm very much a beginner, but thank you! Yes I've used Premiere to do them! (Basically simple transitions like cross-fades!) Gotta have a little fun, eh?? 😊
This is classic. "I got seduced into spending 10k" 😅 Great video! That's an impressive build.
I know, I genuinely started with a simple CPU upgrade.... 🤣
@@handsonkatie I wish I could spend that sort of dough, Well I probably could, but the missus would grind my bones and cast me to the pigs. The 4090 I want one for home AI! Maybe a pair???
@@DeveloperChris I know, it was a bit silly, but the cuda count is soooo tempting for AI, so I couldn't resist.... get a 3d printer and make stuff for her and tally up the cost savings until it equals a 4090..... 😂😂😂
Çok güzel
I don't mean to pry, but are you happy to disclose how much that lot set you back?
Of course, not a problem at all - I actually just collected bits over several months as I was keeping an eye out in Black Friday, Christmas and New Year sales for the best deals, so it's probably a bit distortive and naturally I didn't buy a case, but it was around £3000/$3800 I'd estimate. Got a great deal on the GPU, likewise the NVMe drives were very, very cheap in black friday and so on.
@@handsonkatie Thanks.
I just saw you on Instagram... Is that one of the supporting jobs that you often do on Instagram...? I hope that you find lots of interesting ideas to make videos... 👍
I've promised folks I'd properly record all my mad projects this year - so I'll try my best to capture everything!! ☺️
@@handsonkatie
I can't wait for your extraordinary project... Because I also have a side job related to wood😁😅 and it's really fun
Here I am shouting in the comments, less is more with thermal paste. A thin layer is all you need. It is more a leveling compound than an interface compound. The metal on the heatsink and CPU housing are better conductors. You just want the thermal paste to act as a filler in between the micro gaps in contact. TL;DR you might have used a bit too much.
🤣🤣. I know, but I get into cake icing mode and I can't help myself! 🤭 I know this is a topic of much debate, I align generally with this sort of perspective: ruclips.net/user/shortsAEg0rr6eUEI?si=Aeaa7Z1w7Cm8cVH_
Would welcome thoughts though!
@@handsonkatie 🙂So thoughts on that tech short...for coverage he is correct but there is an optimal 'thickness'. He layers it on thick and covers it with the spatula but he is relying on the heatsink to press out the excess. Even with this method, you get excess in between the CPU and the block. Do use enough to get full coverage but it should just be a scraped-on layer, rather than an 'iced-on' (icing) layer.
This way heat transfer is not limited by blocking the highly thermally conductive sink and CPU housing contact with lower thermally conductive TP, and yet those micro air gaps (low conductivity) between the block and CPU housing are still filled.
@@_Reverse_Flash very interesting thoughts ....! I feel a test might be coming on...! 🤭🤣
If I don't lose my man card by saying so, I think the principle at work here is more like make-up foundation -- but on a much smaller scale -- than like yummy icing. None is better than too much. You want most of the contact to be metal to metal, NOT metal to paste to metal. Thermal paste is better than air gaps, it's much worse than metal to metal. @@handsonkatie
I really dont like those short stiff hoses.
I agree! Tough to work with!
I am working with SSD and NVME since forever. One brand worth ALL the attention and that's it: Samsung. Why? Forget about the specs. Get the PRO version of their chips and your are set. Need to transfer your setup to a new hardware? Easy, use their software called Samsung Data Migration which is later baked in Samsung Magician and just clone everything to your new drive. Monitor your drive's health with Samsung Magician and set an OverProvisioning space on your drive which come in handy later when your drive WILL fail. On Samsung drives OverProvisioning cells will take over dead cells job and you can continue working until you run out of spare cells. NONE of the manufacturers are offring such a software and Samsung is the only one caring about what nobody really cares to say: SSD and NVME are consumable drives. True story.
its the rtx 4090 you said 490 in the video
Yes, you'll see I popped up a text blooper in the video at that point - no idea what I was wittering about! Well spotted!
theres 96gb ram!?....
Well I do treat my hardware pretty rough!! 😇😋 I plan to0 make it 192GB once the motherboard bios gets proper stable support... Can never have enough RAM!
Just wait until you see server racks or tower servers that can sometimes contain a TB of RAM
@@Alextibtabooh don't get me excited.... 😂😂😂
