Can You Upgrade Your CPU While The Computer Is On?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Today I upgraded my CPU and a bunch of other components on my computer while it was still on. In this video you get to see what happens when each part is removed from a powered on system and then replaced. To answer the question what happens when you upgrade your cpu while the computer is on.

Taking hot swappable to a whole new level
Nah. It's Plug & Play. It seems most people have forgotten that name sadly. :P
@@SilkenLuna yeah cause everything is plug and play nowadays
@@MarksterC So?
@@SilkenLuna I’d say plug and play is better used when you talk about accessories like mice, keyboard and headphones/microphones etc in the way you don’t have to install any drivers or software just to make it work.
Doesn’t really matter if the hardware inside the pc is hot swappable or not, it will probably still need the proper drivers and software to get the most out of it.
I have personally hot swapped ram before for the giggles of it. If your system is setup correctly, you can basically hot swap anything but the motherboard itself 😂.

There are actually systems with redundant CPUs for CPU hot swapping. Also RAM redundancy is common thing in some servers.
@@uhliktube redundancy is key!
O shit
In 1997 I had built an AMD K6 system. I had wired the fans to turn off while in sleep mode. I was showing someone my build and thought it was off. I removed the K6 CPU while it was asleep to show it off. I put it back in the socket and suddenly felt heat waves rising from the heat sink.
Turns out that the CPU went full throttle when I inserted it but the rest of the system was asleep, including the fans.
I pulled the power cord fast enough, but it made the adrenaline rush!

These are the questions we all needed answers for.
This is what i do when im drunk and tryna mess with my pc
Fun fact: PCI Express is actually desgined to be hotswappable. The first lane that makes contact is 1 and the last 16 and when you take it out, lane 16 will be the first to be disconnected, BUT most operating systems don't even support hotswapping.
With certain hardware you can upgrade basically anything while the system is running, but those are something like supercomputers or datacenters and not stuff that the average person can get or even afford.
I love your channel 😂 such funny ideas and a great personality
Thank you!
Thanks for doing this!!! This was alot of fun to watch!! What not to do! Lol
4:39 if you really want the GPU to work after removal, you might have a chance if it was a hotswapable PCIe slot. the BIOS also needs to support it.
pretty sure ltt tried that before
Very interesting stuff Jay :D

The computer: its my turn. What happens when we remove jay’s brain while he’s doing a math test?
This just makes me anxious
What about trying to upgrade the PC parts while the PC itself is in a hibernation or suspended state?
When the computer is in hibernation it saves the stuff on the ram into the storage and shuts down the computer so maybe it will just be normal but maybe I'm wrong.
@@blackwillow7314 On windows yea
Sleep mode would be interesting. Hibernation probably isn't.
Sleep, might cause some errors.
Hibernation isn’t much different than shutdown though, since it still has to do BIOS boot so I would imagine it would be fine, but it’s still possible something might happen but less likely.
14:31 I don't upgrade my pc at home.
I let my mom do that.
_nOt aT hOmE_ though!
You got a new subscriber.. im so interested in computers but not an engineer by trade so I def appreciate just knowing if I can die when there is electricity running thru a machine lol or that the parts aren't as fragile as I suspected!!
this is stupid and i love it, thank you for letting us know, it is working but i doubt about the longetivity of those component in a year or maybe a month, you know, even just having unstable electricity can kill your pc in a week or so, please do upgrade without electricity running through your pc. But hats off to you sir to be able to pull this off 👍
When u always keep ur pc on all the time
I wish you had a moving image on the screen with the RAM so we could see if it really was frozen. Or maybe SSH into it?
There always is a trade off. Some people don't like the camera recording a screen they like me to use the capture card and other times people want as you mentioned to record it separately. No right answer and I may always try a different one in the future for other videos.
@@JaysTechVault I feel your pain. I’ve been thinking of taking a look at the M1 Mac app compatibility and I know that they are gonna be mad at me for not reviewing their favorite app or something. Or maybe people will ask me for a free one, there’s always _that_ guy...
@@ElijahCiali you could check the clock if the recording of that section falls between the time changing
i did this once a couple of years ago when i accidentally punched my pc and one of the sticks fell out, it just freezes and if there's video/audio playing it just freezes on the last frame and loops the last like miliseconds of audio, it's really glitchy and i got pretty scared being like 14 at the time
@@Kattmaniak that would make sense due to the ram itself freezing so any data on the ram like the instructions to play the video and audio are gone so the cpu loops the last actions in its cache
In the GPU part, you should try and connect remotely. So you can see if the O.S it's still working (most likely not) without video output. I did this while testing a "functional" GPU that it didn't have the video outputs working.
Nice video btw!
I thought about this yesterday and it showed up now im so happy

Try standby and hibernate upgrades.
Long ago I worked at an IT shop and we had a case where a hardware upgrade was causing a boot failure but we were able to get around it by booting, going into hibernate, installing the hardware, resuming, telling XP to find new hardware and then pointing the installer at the driver disk.
So, as insane as it sounds, I actually had a case where I had to do an on(ish) hardware install.
Screw it.

Why not?
@@JaysTechVault fair enough
@@JaysTechVault understandable. Have a great day
I like to se phone upgrade .
I'd love to see you revisit this with secondary drives rather than the boot drive, as well as secondary graphics cards like SLI. Even stuff like a fan/rgb hub might be interesting, though what I'd most want to see is one of those dual processor motherboards. If you take out one processor but there's still one in the motherboard, will it keep on truckin?
You deserve 1 mill. Bro youre pretty underrated
thank you youtube algorithm for recommending me this for the 10th time now
I think they are trying to send you a message to not do this
Replace the bios battery while the computer is on pls.
Cmos is copied to shadow ram during bootup, it wouldn't do a thing...
@@waytostoned at least something would work
as long as you don't short the contacts, removing battery wont do a thing, because the bios is still getting power from psu, pressing the clr cmos button (or shorting the pins) however will
Try it while the BIOS is doing a POST
These are some good methods for upgrading PC speedrun.
I love how you can do all this and have a functioning computer. But when I bought my last one it didn't work probably, and completely broke when I turned on virtualization.
I would have just said the answer is "no", without even considering any other possibilities.
This comment will get hearted
I think you just helped me diagnose dud ram, i kept thinking it was hdd, only thing that wiuld be good to add is starting up with 1 ram stick and add the second when turned on

George Zois And is taking notes.
I once had a weird quirk with a laptop's hard drive in which if a device was drawing a lot of power from USB, the internal hard drive would end up malfunctioning and render itself inoperable until the next power cycle.
Whenever that happens while I'm in Windows XP, it blue screens shortly after the hard disk starts malfunctioning, if it didn't restart prior to the BSOD due to insufficient power.
Great, now the same but with hot-swap capable server software!

Non sytem sata drives can actually be replaced while the system is running, and should be relatively save, if you disable them in windows before removing/replacing them.
Some server mainboards also even support pcie hotplug, which could allow gpu replacement, but still you would need to diable the device beforehand. ^^
well you can actually upgrade or more like add a driver or remove it if you had Hot Plug/Hot Swap option on the motherboard, but they are mainly used on servers (only saw some that can be used for pc) from what i heard
8:40 - But what about SSD? No moving parts - will it still corrupt?
According to my experience, when you unplugg the SSD while idle, it's completely fine.
But if you unplugg/turn off while doing something like disc checking, writing, or something like that, there is a high risk of the SSD getting corrupt.
I've ever tried to partition an ssd, and because it takes long, I turned it off, thinking that it would be up and running fine like a Hard Drive. But then the entire boot sector had gone completely corrupted.
Fortunatley, I could still recover some data.
So, I need a RAM upgrade as 8GB for gaming, video editing etc isn't enough. Hmmm, it's time to replace it. I'm going to be doing it with the computer on, surely nothing can happen right?
*computer explodes*
U need 16 gb
@@lilbeest135 I know I do. But this computer needs replacing anyways, it has a HDD, non-working camera. The only decent thing is the WiFi adapter but no doubt someone will say I need WiFi 6.
For people actually looking for an answer, you CAN upgrade a pc when its on if it supports hot swapping (any type of storage like hard drives and ssd thats not running an os and sometimes ram if the motherboard supports the feature)

Technological lobotomy, I like the idea.
About pci things, there are pci hot swappable mobos, so as long as you don't have an external alimentation attached to your gpu, you should be able to remove it without damaging it
