One of the tips i can give is about the pillow thing, while it is soft and one would think that is it safe to assemble all the parts together on a soft surface like that, but a lot of the times that can be culprit where you can easily bent something while assembling, because of the soft surface and a lack of back pressure when putting things together, so instead put the motherboard on the motherboard cardboard box and then assembly everything together + the gpu mounting plate fits nicely into carboard side opening, so that add extra leverage for everything. But other than that, congrats on your first build you did good, and lovely to see that you chose the more challenging but interesting way of acquiring a new pc!
My heart when you started building on a pillow, good job though! It is always nice to see someone take that leap of faith on themselves and learn to put their own parts together ❤
Having a pillow under the motherboard gonna make plugging in stuff so much harder, should just be a simple cloth if you dont want your motherboard on a hard surface
You picked a great case!! Great job on your first build, everything is a learning curve. If anything just use a towel for the motherboard on a table as all that slack from the pillow you could of bent multiple pins plus you want a surface that does not create static.
Nice build and I can’t wait to build my gaming pc one day I’m a gamer so I’ll love this gaming pc to build my own any tips on where to build it and what surface please 🙏
Well done. The only cablemanagemt I d recommend is to put the cpu power in the back. There should be a cutout in the top left above the mainboard to get through there. Ppl raging about static electric need to chill 😂 built many pc on carpet with no damage ever
Thank UA-cam algorithm for suggesting me this 😂. I cringed a little but over all pretty good for a first PC build. Been building PCs for over 10 years now and tinkering with them. Its a lot easier to do nowadays with plenty of content and hardware / software came along way from installing Windows 7 or XP at that matter. Plus a one like for joining the party. One thing I will mention, is it is a lot harder to have this happen but ESD or Electro Static discharge is something to be weary about and wearing sweats and or fuzzy things is generally a no no, just a heads up on that.
Ok rose, word of advice from a computer tech. First of all you did a pretty good job for a first, i have some questions that i couldn't see in the video, but for a first time with no knowledge of PC building you accepted the task and the pc is running, that's a Victory. If you ever handle components first don't use a pillow, use a non conductive surface, like the box of the motherboard to test and troubleshooting, do not touch the components if possible while the pc is on unless you have a cable that discharges static energy, do not touch them if you're barefoot, also make sure to check the temps now that is on, from 30 to 55c on iddle the CPU should be good, also under stress the CPU should never reach 90c, specially if the room is below 20c, you did a great job with a full modular PSU and cable management is hard if you never did it but you can do it some other time, I'm sure you you applied the right amount of thermal paste, watch the temps, another thing, do not plug or unplug the HDMI when the pc is on, only the USB ports, and some wifi cards need windows drivers, I'm sure you will get the hang of PC if you watch enough videos, good job!
low or high end this is still a dream for a lot of people...i hope i can be a content creator for pc s someday.... this is a start.... its great keep going sister 😃full support from Manipur, a state in India
yooo good job on ur build. looks very neat but cable management could use a bit of work so you dont have a bunch of cables sticking out everywhere. also a list of ur components would be nice
Congrats, you did a great job!! There's a topic in the PC community about static charges. The Static can make some problems. But building on a pillow, you just demonstrated to everyone that this topic is over rated. My son cleaned the computer that I made for him with a cloth and the PC had all kind of issues after that. It didn't kill it since I removed the static from the motherboard and the computer is running great again. But I want to thank you and I will use your video as a point every time someone is making static charges a topic. Great job, it's very stressfull to build a computer for the first time but you will wan't to build an other one very soon. Again, congratulationson your build.
Congratulations on your very first PC. Now keep in mind to keep it clean every 2 years to remove all of the pet hair and dust build up over the years and your PC will be fine. Nice Build and good choice on the CPU.
I built a pc at the start of the year and it was pretty easy. The hard part was the fact it didn’t have WiFi software so I had to buy a usb c drive because I had a MacBook and then figure out the bios works
Wow, that sounds complicated! I just ended up moving the PC to my brother's room and borrowing the Ethernet cord from his computer just to get it started, then switched to the Wi-Fi!
glad everything worked out...but never ever ever put a motherboard on a pillow, this coulve gone bad with a shortage! always put the board on the box its sent in! otherwise nice build :)
Yeah I saw that she got the i9. So either a 13900k or 14900k. She will be replacing that processor sooner rather than later. She should have went with Ryzen 7000 series.
I could not tell if you watched YT tutorials prior to building your PC. I watched a ton of videos but still watched them during my first built. t took me 8 hours from opening packages to downloading updates.
with having an i9 your cooler is really gonna make it overheat the i9s get super hot i would get a bigger cooler if you can still return the old one dont forget thermal paste lol
OK, Your 1st Mistake was placing your New Motherboard on a Pillow!! WTF?? Use the Motherboard Box, to Build your Platform. 2nd Mistake, you chose Intel instead of AMD!!
Most of the 'Reliable How to Build a PC' Videos show the Builder building the Platform: Motherboard, CPU, RAM & NVME Installation while the Motherboard sits on top of the Motherboard Box! It's a Miracle you didn't 'Short Out' your Motherboard & Components from possible 'Static Discharge' from the Pillow!! Other than that though, Good Job on your 1st Build, you got a Successful Post, Your PC is Up & Running & you're Happy with the Results! And Finally Welcome to the Club!!!

And fabrics like that can generate static electricity.
congrats on your build

1 like for entering in the pc master race 😊
haha
Once you do it once, you know it forever. Great job Rose! :)
well done u are better than me. i dont have the guts to build it cause i am afraid that i would spoil it
Having a pillow under the motherboard gonna make plugging in stuff so much harder, should just be a simple cloth if you dont want your motherboard on a hard surface

BRAVO...BRAVE GIRL.....saludos desde venezuela...you have a new suscriber...

Awesome job! You'll appreciate the pc so much more when you build it yourself!

Be Brave
Be Strong
Build a PC
😊😊😊😊
Welcome to pc master race 🍷🗿
Good job

good shit broski
its scary to do one for the first time with no experience
you should be proud
thx, it was scary but I'm so glad I did it
yooo good job on ur build. looks very neat but cable management could use a bit of work so you dont have a bunch of cables sticking out everywhere. also a list of ur components would be nice
Agreed, What Model of Intel CPU did she choose & what was the Price??

thanks youtube for recommending this channel lol
Make sure to update the BIOS, the CPU you have is impacted by Intel's faulty microcode.

Good stuff v:
Nice job for your first PC build. What is your GPU model? I am sure you could have found it in white.
Shouldn't have bought an Intel CPU, really bad time at the moment.
Yeah I saw that she got the i9. So either a 13900k or 14900k. She will be replacing that processor sooner rather than later. She should have went with Ryzen 7000 series.
Bad for the Parts Budget too!
she basically killed her cpu upgrade path
Are you sure you haven't done this before hmm!👍
Great Video keep going
I could not tell if you watched YT tutorials prior to building your PC. I watched a ton of videos but still watched them during my first built. t took me 8 hours from opening packages to downloading updates.
It shouldn’t blow up unless you used a Gigabyte power supply…
Welcome to the club
with having an i9 your cooler is really gonna make it overheat the i9s get super hot i would get a bigger cooler if you can still return the old one
dont forget thermal paste lol
thx for the advice. I did add thermal paste!
Mini pc or nuc would have been an easier laptop replacement.
Specs?
Pillow static electricity ouch 😢
Ai sim hein
Are you from waterloo where the vampires hang out?
now ur a gamer girl (edate me plz) UwU
