[07:47] @KMyers @Ivoriesablaze I think I'm going to switch to a rolling backpack or briefcase [15:29] I have been tempted to go with a rolling backpack but I downsized a bit [15:30] BTW. If you want something painful, look for the Verge's example on how to build a computer. It is a pure cringefest [15:31] They took down the official video but there are plenty of reaction videos that are entertaining [15:33] Mirror - https://youtu.be/a1Wn1bA4NuI [15:34] @Ivoriesablaze / @ahoneybun / @AdamOutler and @govatent should get a kick of it [15:34] Out of it [16:11] An Allen wrench? [16:34] He calls the zip ties tweezers and he must think that wireless anti-static wrist straps exist [16:35] I remember when I was that dumb [16:37] Did he just call the io shield a brace? [16:37] Watch the entire video. The installation of the thermal paste should trigger all of us [16:37] @Ivoriesablaze, Yes. And he will go on and call everything else one as well [16:38] He also butchers the ram I installation [16:39] Oh... And he uses League of Legons to show off the performance... A game that requires a single core processor and integtated GPU to run. [16:44] ... did he just ADD thermal paste saying the pre-applied paste on the cooler wasn't enough????? [16:45] I've wiped clean and added a FRACTION of that to SERVERS. And they're still humming along! [16:46] @Ivoriesablaze, Yup... And applied about 4x as much as they should have [16:47] The power supply part is cringy [16:47] And dangerous [16:47] He also installs both sticks of RAM in the same bank - forget about dual channel [16:48] I didn't even think about that, good point [16:49] He also does not seem to know about PCIe Lanes. You typically install the GPU in the top because it is normally the only 16x PCIe Slot - not to keep the SSD cool [16:50] And calling the case the frame the entire tiney [16:50] Time* [16:50] Not even a chassis, a frame [16:51] No wonder they took this video down [16:52] Gah, that CPU part.... Yeesh [16:52] He also tells you to install the power supply onto the rubber pads to prevent a short circuit. … A) Those rubber pads are to minimize sound, not prevent electrical conductivity … B) By using metal screws, it would defeat that all together. The power supply is designed to be conductive for a reason, it grounds the case to prevent electrical failures [16:53] He also points the vent of the power supply at the motherboard [16:54] Wait, what? [16:54] Yes. Look at the power supply [16:55] I couldnt get a good look at it [17:30] My favorite parts were the "tweezers" (zip ties), you will need a Swiss army knife, hopefully with a screw driver, and the Live Strong wrist "antistatic" wrist band. [17:30] You shouldn't be using a pocket knife, you should be using a screw driver. [17:31] Yeah, also the case SHOULD be grounded. [17:31] I feel bad for the dude in the video. He's the face of the entire production team's folly. [17:33] Also, you NEVER use a spreader for thermal paste. You scrape off the crap the OEM puts on there and you put a pea-size amount on the processor. If you spread it, it creates air pockets which resist the thermal conducivity. [17:33] The heat sink spreads it properly with it's own weight. [17:37] @maxolasersquad, No, he deserves whatever ridicule he gets. If he does not know how to build a computer, he should not have done it [17:39] Or he should at least research what he was saying. Some of those instructions are beyond stupid - they are dangerous [17:40] Using the wrong screws on the liquid cooling could cause water to leak onto the motherboard [17:40] The Power Supply could cause overheating [17:41] It's one thing to not know what you are doing, it's another for a someone to put together an entire production behind your demonstration of your ignorance. The Verge's production and publishing arm should not have let it get as far as actually hitting the Internet. [17:42] He's not the only one that made gross errors of negligence, just the face of it for everyone involved. [17:42] @maxolasersquad, The only time I would release something like that is on April Fools day [17:42] Haha [17:42] @AdamOutler, Did you also notice that he only installed 3 of the mounting screws for the CPU heatsink?
