When it doesn't turn on and your heart stops. You go through each wire making sure everything's plugged in, just to remember you switched the power supply off for safety.
true
Happens to me far too often :)
that happened to me and i tought it was the processor... at the next day i bought ANOTHER i7, and it didn't work, so checked the power supply... and... it was off... anyone wants an i7?
+Mr.Zambi I'll take one, plz send with the receipt as well. Jk
+Mr.Zambi haha that's sucks dude
When the only game you can play is a monitor with "no signal"

The new game for PC-Builders!
***** yup.
My favorite video game is the blue screen of death. It has such amazing graphics!

im in tht situation right now
The most annoying thing about building a PC is being done and not having any more stuff to tinker with...
How about using the PC? :D
Michal Valta That´s not annoying, that´s amazing...
We were talking about annoying things XD
Chrinik
But that was my point... :D What is annoying about not having anything to tinker with when it means you can use the PC, which is amazing? :-P
Being done is the best part, you can play! :D
Michal Valta
It´s a personal thing. If you ever do anything that is really fun, is the best part about it being done and not doing it anymore?
No...choosing components, putting it all together and having it work is alot of fun...and again, this is about "annoying things about BUILDING your PC"...you are done building when you don´t have anything to tinker anymore. So the fun of building is over....so that´s annoying.
Sure, you archieved your objective...but part of any creative or building project is actually doing the project, not "NOT" doing the project anymore...so an artist will not sit there and think "right, done with that, and it looks awesome...time to not do anything and just look at it"...No, the artist is gonna do his next work.
Chrinik
Yeah, I did build my own PC, it was cool experience. But you know what was the best part? When I was finished, I pressed the "Power" button and shit started booting up! :D But thats just me I guess. :-P
Forgetting to put I/O shield after everything has been set up....
Imagine if it's after a building a custom hard line water cooling loop :)
@@darsan8492 i was boutta say just unscrew the mobo and gpu but ooh damn custom hard tube isnt that easy
Don’t need it

6. When one of your parts shipped broken AND YOU SPEND TWO HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU DID WRONG WHEN YOU ACTUALLY DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG AT ALL
Ohh god the horror. . . "Hello darkness my old friend. . ."
+Ken Pachi when you wait for a beep code to tell you what component is faulty, but the speaker stays quiet.
"This is the Sound of silence" yeah, fuck that XD
And the more expensive the build the worse it is.
happened to my first build TWICE in a row. ASUS graphics cards never again...
must've felt horrible man, but at least it was the GPU and can use the pc with another. It sucks worse when its the mobo
The worst thing is when I ask someone if I should get the GTX 1050TI or the GTX 1060, and then he/she recommends me a GTX 1080 in SLI, maybe that person didn't really get the point of the question..
Abdullah Alarbash running 4 Titan x's in sli is perfect for budget rigs
The thing I hate about PC building is that I can't afford to do it.
Get a job bum

WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE IS THE WORST, ESCPECIALLY WHEN THE KEY COMPONANT ARRIVES LAST. ''2 WEEKS LATER"
+Luke Triplett ?
+BoardOfCircuit yea i got my cpu and gpu about 3 weeks later then all my other parts due to a problem in delivery`so i just had to stare at my incomplete build dreaming about how one day i could use it.
+Kaziah ashman (Ka0sW0lf) Yeh same problem here. 2 weeks after Christmas. I ordered them 3 weeks before. Everything but my CPU arrived.
+BoardOfCircuit I feel your pain, even when replacing my fans... My patience wears thin.

Yeh I am waiting right now for a fan splitter, I ordered it yesterday and it should hopefully arrive tommorrow, hopefully... 10 years later, still has not arrived.
I think you messed up a little bit I will assist. 1. installing Io shield
2. installing Io shield
3. installing Io shield
4. installing Io shield
5. installing Io shield
+Joeger - what? that was easiest bit for me XD
+Joeger - IO shields are the WORST on budget cases
+Joeger - yep I remember installing the wrong Io shield on my friends pc.
I could not have said it better
+Andrew Johnstone I almost raged on my S340 because of this.
*These should at least be some honorable mentions*
-When UEFI decides that you haven't spent enough time with it (Hey fam!)
-When you don't get all the pieces to components you ordered, and then have to wait for them to come in the mail (Don't take off your clothes and not f*** me...)
-When the drivers aren't driving (Jesus, please take the wheel!)
-When you go for that 1% more overclock that you saw on Tom's Hardware and your computer gives you the middle finger (Thank you RNG)
and finally
-When something better comes out less than three months later (Which is why I'm still single)
I got the i7 7700k and literally a week after I had built my pc, I saw the 8th gen had just been released. (Viewed from my freshly built pc)
like when the ryzen line came out with the same line but with integrated graphics. fml.

I just went through this, took apart the entire PC only to find out it was a faulty psu.
pegaSus_ 2 slots of ram stopped working on my mobo. the next day they started working again.
pegaSus_
I feel your pain dude
every single time
After building the PC it does not start and you can't find the problem
Somya Doshi BRO!! Thats me right now!!! Just finished my first build and sooo pissed!!!
Happened to me a few times. 1st step is reset bios and check power cables. next step is remove memory modules and see if it beeps. next up is swapping PSU... Oh, and remove any cables and other connected items you don't need.
did you try turning it off then back on again?
I’d reckon you test the bios before putting them in your case
The real worst part: Receiving DOA components.
Intel MOBOs
My friend was building a new computer for me before I moved house and the PSU was faulty.
Thankfully this has never happened to me
oh god actually terrified of it happening cuz im gonna build my own pc in about a month
Just built my new PC the AIO was dead. Went and not a new one, Cool new one works... messing around on the PC for awhile so decided to play a game.. here we go time to test these parts i7-9700k and 2080ti. Ultra settings here I come. .. play for a few mins. Ramdom restart... wtf tried again, Restarted again.. ok something is F**k'ed Corsair PSU faulty went and got new 850watt. Evga PSU. Running great now..

GTX 1080 in a nutshell
buy used :3 and hope they'll work...
#savage
The 1080 costs more than my dream build
The worst thing is when prices are higher in other countries, (I was going to build a $850 PC, but in my country it'll end up $1010, no joke!)
The Arbash Man Canada?
only 1010? In argentina easily you need to pay the double, $1600 for components that in USA cost only $800
In germany PC build : 800€ in my country its get to 1100€ #doublestandards
gregor Kosak oh god this is so fucking true and you can't even ship the part from the usa to Germany because of the extra costs and the zoll fees
boohoo the pc parts i chose are max 850$ and in my country (the netherlands) it costs over €1360
and the euro is worth more than the dollar so it's even more expensive
When you upgrade a cancer pre-built HP and it has the motherboard upside down (yes), PSU on the top so the cancer "cable management" PSU cables threaten to get into the GPU fans which are just few inches below the cancerous PSU.
You gotta use radiation man.
Cossack-HD Cancerous.
Cossack-HD everyone had those lil shit pcs
Cossack-HD my cancerous prebuilt hp computer has the power connector connected to the mobo missing 4 PINS
thats cancerous
When the Bios doesn't detect any drives
In this order, try different ports, try using a known good drive, check documentation, rma.
It can be many things, bad usb ports, or not formatting your usb drives properly, If the usb flash drive is formatted to be FAT32 then format it to NTFS instead and see if that works.
Or change the boot order, that can be another thing. (shrugging irl.)

Is it weird that I genuinely loved every part of building my PC? Maybe it was because it was my first, but I wish I had the budget to do it every year or so.
did you follow any particularly helpful guide?
joeyxl3456 I have found that if you can either get cheaper/secondhand parts, or find one on the side of the road, and practice with that first. Be willing to make mistakes and learn from them. Be fearless.
You could just take it apart and build it again
Same, building my pc was honestly a bitch, I went super budget and the case was a mess. But yeah, honestly I love it
Okay, so my first build was back in like 1997 I think, I can't even remember (it was a K6-166 on my first love, an Abit motherboard of some sort that I can't even remember the name of. but it was JUMPERLESS and that was freaking AWESOME at the time because NOTHING was jumperless back then!), but I digress. I had to pause the video to comment because cable management is my absolute favorite thing about building PCs. I love it when the case gives me plenty of room and the motherboard layout just works and the power supply cables just happen to be the right length. When it's all going perfectly, it's beautiful.
But when the case sucks, the power supply sucks, and the layout is just frustrating, I love that even more. I love the challenge of routing cables through something that was clearly designed to not give two shits about how you're going to make it look good. It may not turn out as clean as it does when everything goes perfectly, but it really challenges you to be creative. Anyone can make the perfect setup look good fairly easily, making crap parts look good is the real test.
When my coworkers replace a PSU in a customer's computer, they basically just throw them in. When I do it, I wrap up the unused cables and tuck them away, I tie up any excess slack, and I do my best to make sure everything looks clean. Why? Because I respect myself and I want my work to look good, just in case anyone ever decides to peek inside (even though I know they won't). When I build a custom PC for someone, it's like that times a hundred. I hardly ever see the customs come back in, but when they do, even years later, I know right away that I built it just by how it looks on the inside.
You forgot DRIVER issues.
I'm facing one right now.
+Huey Freeman Driver Booster 3
+CrazyFastRapper Disgustiiiing
TheKiekerr What..?
+CrazyFastRapper. That's a software that can help???
Huey Freeman Yep...Updated 33 of my drivers.
Dropping a screw down a dark crevice in the case is actually the worst
This is so true on so many levels.
yeah i had a magnetic screwdriver in a black case and sometimes there was sitll no god
Kurama Loosing one fucking tiny screw in a carpet is worse, stepping on it and its gone
Gordon Ramsay image having a wooded plank floor
When you turn on your PC and you made sure everything is connected properly and it doesn't POST
Your face will turn into Heavy Breathing
Getting paranoid about that missing screw.
When ur case has usb 3.0 but not your motherboard -__-
Yeah I had to get a cheap case with just usb 2.0. But then again you can just get a usb 3 to usb 2 internal adapter.
iHow Tutorials mine didn't come it one. When it clearly had to.
is there a problem with some old mother boards like the intel pentium ones where when you have a new case like i do and the fans and everything are connected but it still gives that press f1 to continue error everytime i boot it up, there is also a delay signal about 3-5 seconds sometimes when turning it on, could it be the old mother board having poor signal issues?
what if ur motherboard is a 3.1 usb but ur case 3.0?
or worse, the case has USB 3.0 passthrough.
When she doesn't boot
you speak the truth
+Abelardo Espinoza Realizing that something has gone wrong is the worst feeling by far.. :(
+William skagen Then you realize you forgot to switch the psu to on.
+Analogue Renegade That litterally happend to me once. I was about to flip my shit xD
+Abelardo Espinoza you got to take her out for Drink's.
My biggest beef with pc building and in particular the youtubers who offer advice on pc building is the lack of explanation of what things are and what they do. It's ok for people who have experience in building pc's but for newbies like me I often get lost and confused when they mention, for instance, a certain cable you need and then move on without explaining what it is for or even what it looks like. I know this isn't a particularly big problem and I am in no way having a pop at the youtubers who offer the advice, it is incredibly helpful after all. I just think it would help people out even more if they spent a bit of time explaining why you need something, what said thing looks like and even what problems could be caused by.
DrewPeacock69 TrippyDrew69 I taught a 60 woman on how to build a PC.
Watch techsources budget build guide he taught me so much that I’m very comfortable with pc’s now especially after your first build you’ll know what to do and it’s easy you’ll never forget
Yea cable management was the most annoying thing for me as a first-time builder and that's not really covered well in any PC building vids online (though articles do a better job).
*leaving it more exposed than Bill Cosby* LOL
Mounting a 212 Evo, enough said.
same
yep
^^ you broke it
***** Never was a fan of herd mentality. Or maybe I just like to watch things burn.
David Hoffnung potato
yet another great and very informative video! I'm an amateur builder, just made the jump from console to full blown PC. Your videos really help educate me on how to build properly with less headache. I truly feel learning proper habits right off the bat can save time and frustration. And your easy going personality really makes learning fun! Really look forward to seeing and hearing more from you buddy! Take extra good care of you, get well, hope that nasty cold goes away fast! Thanks for all you do! REALLY appreciate it :)
+Shaun Verma great to hear man. grats on the new build!
+Awesomesauce Network thank you!! :D
+Awesomesauce Network so the other day I was upgrading my PSU and holy balls all of those things happened at once. First I had to figure out s way to remove my old one cause it was so close to a fan in front of it, then I had to remove my liquid cooler cause it was blocking the 8pin cpu power connector. Then I had to remove all of those little pins to fit in the new psu. Finally I had to move my drive cages and one fan and rewire everything. The lesson here get a psu that will last you a long time, don't just get a temporary solution.
+Alpha741 that sounds crazy! Get a good PSU that lasts a long time. Great advice that I'll definitely keep in mind also. Thanks buddy
The worst is, once you have everything mounted in, the cables are perfect, you close the lid and boot up the PC only for it not to POST... A good practice is to assemble everything quickly outside the case and see if it POSTs before you actually finally put it in.
my first ever pc story:
problems.
1. needed to wait for all parts 2 weeks
2.another 3 days for psu adapters
3.3h after playing warthunder my psu got fucked
4. cant sell knif to buy psu cuz no acces to case opening page without pc
U forgot to add the part where u r all excited after finishing ur PC build when you realise u didn't buy any os.....
+Rixnbix A half-decent computer builder would have a Windows installation USB ready at all times, you must not be one of them.
+sosoishero it's just a joke man I didn't face it myself
+Rixnbix Thats why I am glad I have 21 free Windows product keys. Thanks Dreamspark.

When you have to refer to the manual and it's written in a special form a Engrish that must have either went through several different language translators or was written by some kid in a sweatshop.
“Leaving it more exposed than Bill Cosby” BRUH
I saw you yesterday Kyle at Team Crispy Live! I was at the parking lot then you and Paul walked out of a car and I was like OMG. And then I met Paul afterward but you were busy but I was like 5 feet away from you. So epic!
+Tyler Weigand you should have bugged me! bug me bug me bug me. next time.
Awesomesauce Network :D
I'll probably go to the next team crispy live. Then hopefully Jay will go too :)
+Tyler Weigand How do you walk out of a car?
+Flimbo nimbo well I guess technically climbed out :)
+Tyler Weigand Lol, I was just messing with you :p
Honestly, the most annoying thing about a new PC isn't the building, it's the clean install that goes along with it... Installing updates, drivers and any software you care about is so time consuming and tedious even with an SSD and using Ninte to install the bulk of it, especially when you have to enter all your settings again for certain programs, speaking of which windows fucking settings.. I have fair amount of custom settings I have to reset, thankfully windows has that easy transfer thing to lighten the load but even that won't save everything so you'll still need to do some digging.
+vgamesx1 yess
Whats "Ninte"?
awtobot cool to know
+vgamesx1 i actually like that part, you can take the time to ensure everything's up and running nicely. Kind of like warming up a new car or motorbike for the first time.
arthur staal well I'm glad you like it mate, but I personally would rather sit back and relax after building my PC, you know something like watching this very video or playing a game to see how well it does.
when you've already bought all the parts and a few weeks later a similarly priced and better part gets announced *cough cough* 8700k *cough cough*
Dude, I love your videos. I just discovered you Tuesday and you've easily climbed to my favorites. Your delivery for both substance and humor in your uploads is fantastic and you are most certainly helping me gain a far better understanding of pc building. Much appreciated.
when your GPU does not fit, length wise, or height wise
Make space for it.
+CaesarGamer the case is too small for example
i actually have a medium sized case, can fit a GTX 960
ImpressiveMcGamer well. Whats the problem here?
Mohamed Basha cut holes to make it fit. Been there done that.
You forgot something. I/O shields!
I had to fight for what looked more than 30 minutes to install my Asus Z170-A in the stupid I/O shield, it was really the worst part of that built, was driving me insane.
Next time that happens, just take a pair of pliers and lightly squeeze the edge that's giving you trouble.
Which I done half way, still had some problems with it, but is easy to find people complaining about this matter for an Asus Z170-A.
When the I/O shield is upside down after completing the build.
lol so true, i literally took the back of my screwdriver and bashed the dam I/O shield in cause it started cutting my fingers.
My desktop doesn't have an O/I and it runs nice and cool, CPU will idle at about 30, only going up a tiny bit under load.
My graphics card is the worst but it'll only achieve 60c (about 40 less than what it's built to handle)
In the days of yore when IDE was all the rage, those damn grey 40-pin cables were always 2cm too short. Always!
I just tried building my first pc and don't know what I messed up, but something is messed up
won't turn on the power switch led won't turn on. no clue what went wrong
Mark Rodriguez I decided to return the parts and use a pcpartpicker video for my first
One of these kids that sit far away from the cool kids huh? Always need to tell others how old they as if somebody cares.
Mark Rodriguez good for you special snowflake.
You either didn't plug your PSU into your mobo or your PSU can't supply enough power.
When you spend 2 days building your pc and waiting 3 weekss for the parts and build you pc. Plug it in and press to power switch and dont realize that you forgot to turn the power supply on : (
Oh god, I have done that sooooooooo many times.
I know dat feel, happened to me on my first build.
It took me soooo long to realize that when i first did mine xD
That's what I can only wish would've happened to me. One CPU upgrade later and it's failing to POST with an arcane, undocumented error flashing in the LEDs: 00 4c 55 0d 19. Google search tells me it's an obscure problem with the DDR4 RAM, curable only by ponying up for a new motherboard or new RAM on the manufacturer's "guaranteed to work" list.
Or when you have the power on, but you connected the monitor to the motherboard instead of the gpu, as first boot.
When ur too poor to build a PC😭
haha
Me
that's why there are things called console peasants.
What's your budget
+Vince Offer Nothing...
when you spent ages trying to manage cables... then turn on the PC just hear the beep of death.. BRUH
Love the video, I've definitely experienced a few of those in my 20yrs building computers. That heart wrenching moment when you wait for the post beep still gets me every time. my latest build just went through that. The Samsung 960 Evo M.2 and a brand new 7700K fried, and the computer before that one was shutting off every time windows installation would launch, lol.
Ryan Valizan Jesus Christ you could build an entire system for the cost of those two parts alone
Phoenix Ward lemons happen, i was just pissed Micro Center wouldn't let me work on it at their tech bench the 3rd time the build was returned. Runs perfect now though.
When you can't afford a Pentium.
You go with amd
Pentium G3258 on Amazon= 67 dollars
Athlon X4 860K= 89 dollars.
Pentium: www.futuremark.com/hardware/cpu/Intel+Pentium+G3258/review
Athlon: www.futuremark.com/hardware/cpu/AMD+Athlon+X4+860K/review
They are almost at the same price, while Athlon is better. And that's why Athlon has a higher price.
The Reptilian Smash Still, he said he can't afford a Pentium, you said go with AMD, the AMD option is more expensive.
When you get a defective piece of hardware on your first build.
+That Insanely intelligent Feathered Velociraptor That's why you should have built it outside your case
I wasn't thinking
+That Insanely intelligent Feathered Velociraptor Every time I get a new gpu its either defective or one part of the gpu is defective. gtx 770, warped pcb first time. Second time, the cooler stopped working, 3rd time it worked.
Then I got a 980, 1st time warped pcb. 2nd time it works, its at the point where I get a 2nd gpu I realize one of the SLI fingers where broke, so now I have to use the 2nd sli finger just to run sli.
+That Insanely intelligent Feathered Velociraptor That happend to me and I got so upset
Lol yeah... happened to me too on my first build... PSU T_T
30 minutes trying to figure out why my computer won't display anything only to realize i didn't plug the display cable correctly
"Leaving it more exposed than Bill Cosby." had me in stitches LMAO
You think all this sucks? Try backing up tons of data from an xp machine that doesn't recognize usb devices and is installed on a 10 year old ide hdd. Oh and all the data has to go to a sata drive. And you don't have a mb with both sata and ide. I did that.
+Blake Butler I booted up clonezilla and made an image of the ide drive and stored it on a external hdd. The only spare sata drive I had was 9 years old (it clicked like hell). I installed that sata drive into the new pc I just built. Booted back up into clonezilla and restored that image file from the external hdd onto the nearly dead drive and then mounted it with a drive letter in windows. Boom.
I'd just buy a USB IDE HDD enclosure for that nowadays. Heh, I remember having to do that back in the day as a kid with floppies to move a little over 100mb of data. It was probably the worst experience of my life. I worked on that shit all day.... Dx
I own a pci-e card that has an internal sata, external esata, and an internal pide connector, JUST for situations like this.
they have a ide to sata adapter
Well guess who didn't have one?
just replaced stock intel cooler with coolermaster hyper 212 EVO and it was pretty fun experience
+ZiisusChrist Try doing a waterloop, first one I tried putting together was a nightmare... No drain valve and leaks everywhere, turns out.. never put o-rings on the threading *MAJOR FACEPALM*, got new fittings while I thought I wasted $300 worth of watercooling shit. That was an experience. Do you know how hard it is, to drain a waterloop with no drain valve without soaking your computer? *Oh and I must add* I also had the joy of dropping my processor during install, had the fun of bending pins back for 3+ hours with a toothpick.
+vjollila96 Trying to install the Hyper 212 Evo on an AMD system can be a bit of a challenge, at least from my experience.
i had fun tho
+ZiisusChrist I actually did do that, thing is, the bends are what caused my problems, something to be aware of! I ended up having no problems when I changed fittings!
+Tyler Bunch lol. the build of nightmares.
Molex cable roast is hilarious that's exactly how I feel about it it's a pain in my ass
"There's vomit in their chassis already, mom's spaghetti". XD
The most annoying thing for me is....oh wait i can't afford any part to even be annoyed about building a pc :(
Mr. Lovetech im a student, and nearly have the time to even visit home when im at college (cause it's far) can't really have a job :( and im not complaining tbh just trying to make a joke which u totally ruined btw, but still good advice
WannaBe A panda im a full time college student who has a full time job, does my own maint on my car, built and paid for my own PC, and i still have time to study and spend time with people.
Im sorry but i dont buy it. Yes college is hard but if you push hard enough you can go much further than just college.
You can get a ok pc and setup for $550 tho?
MLGDogecraft2255 I'm 123 and my name is jabari kananfro and I play in an african spoon band in kenya for my pc parts.
eBay is your friend
I lost it at "More exposed than Bill Cosby".
I just discovered Kyle's channel... one of my favorites across all genres of nerdery, informative AND funny. Love this guy.
The most annoying this was the mounting bracket for the water block I bought. It fits perfectly fine but has nothing to hold it in place while you bolt down the block as you mentioned in this video. I can't mount the block with the system upright either as I use liquid pro and it'll pool down to the bottom of the CPU or even drip. My solution - I got some cheap package tape (the paper type with hardly any adhesive on it) and put .... a lot of strips across the mounting plate at the back, gripping on to the case and being careful not to stick it down to the MB it's self. You can't afford even 1 slight movement of the block once you drop it on the cpu with liquid pro, otherwise you have to do it all over again so spending the time to tape down the bracket and make sure it's solidly in place is worth it.
Worst part about DISASSEMBLING: getting the damn 24 pin power connector out.
+deWaardt or the usb 3.0 header
+Teodor Nastase I bent a pin when I did that lol
+deWaardt 24-pin is the easiest
Ive built my first PC last week, the problem is I have most of the screws left over, unidentified species of cables hanging around, two little ports to connect 4 of my fans, and getting a "NO SIGNAL" when I connect to my monitor, yes I have wiggled and moved my RAM lol. SOME HELP ME PLS
If you have free molex cables (if you have a modular power supply check your box and search for some molex cables) then get 2 of these multi connectors: www.amazon.com/Zalman-ZM-MC1-Multi-connector-Add-Fan/dp/B000FAKUE6, one mutli connector can power 4 fans in total, but the main magic is that those fans which are plugged into the 5V cables will run with 5V instead of 12V and that will mean that those fans will be going at about 40% [you will have much less noise, while your components' temperatures will be only 2-3 celsius higher] (only use it for case fans though, and not for the CPU fan, if you have 2 CPU fans or more you can plug for example 1 of the two in that Zalman connector.
If you dont have any molex cables hanging around, then just get some (for instance 2) Y splitters for your fans, but before that check if those have 3 or 4 pins, that's important.
I heard that you have no signal:
0th-check the cable and if the cable (DVI / VGA / HDMI) is connected correctly or not!
1st-reseat the graphics card (also check the power connector)
2nd-try to boot it up
3rd-reseat the RAM modules and place them into another slots (if available)
4th-try to boot it up again
5th-remove one of the RAM modules (it may be faulty)
6th-try to boot it up
7th-place the removed RAM module back and remove the other module
8th-try to boot it up
These steps should fix your problem.
P.S.: My brother overclocked his PC and he has a 6 years old MSI motherboard, he gets no signal on start, but he always presses the restart button on the case and everything just boots up fine. So if you have overclocked your CPU it can solve your problem. (Fingers crossed)
If you are still having any issues after doing those, I recommend that you visit a computer shop or phone someone who is a professional.
Maybe you put your GFX card in the wrong PCIe slot. Mine didn't work until i moved it to the first slot (it was nicely nestled up to my heatsink after...). I learnt this by plugging in the HDMI into the slot on the mobo, and the bios told me what was wrong (what an age we live in!)
Do you have a video for first timers i didn't know shit was this complicated.
i'm sooooo glad aftermarket coolers were on the list. I had a air cooler from coolermaster and it lit took me like an hour to install it. I quickly changed to an AIO and have been using them since.
You forgot about the dust afterwards. Sooo much dust.
i love building PCs and messing with my Pc. I wish i could do this as my job and still get as much money as im getting now.
So damn true. I was actually looking for a job that needed PC building but it's such a niche it doesn't pay anywhere near as well as my current job, not to mention that 99% of jobs in that line are retail, which means human contact *shudders*.
I do too, except when it's my own PC and I'm handling things that can cost me my PC.
Do that my brother
I take it you know your shit when it comes to building PC's and I kinda wanted to know if you could look over my things because I am building my first PC and I want to make sure I'm getting compatible parts
Jared Tessen
sure why not
Driver compatibility the between platforms of windows
The most annoying thing is trying to screw in tiny screws that are in small places that my hands can't quite fit in, especially if I drop one of those screws falls somewhere in the case.
theacp127 magnetic screwdriver
Just finished building my 1st PC :D
My second build was 32gb ram i7-6700k and gtx 1080 sli. Took some parts of my old computer :(
+Jaska Jokunen maybe you can upgrade some parts in the future :D
johny1220 12 new titan x's?
+Atom lol true XD
i also just finished my first pc i had no issues except my drive bay was in the way of my grafhic card so i had to remove the entire drivebay it had unremoveable screws so i had to use a power drill XD
stripped/spinning motherboard standoff screws.
+dacasman Yeah especially when removing a motherboard :-)
+dacasman I actually can't think of anything that has ever made as furious as this.
Just the moms spaghetti part gave you an instant like + the well done video.Nice one.
The amount of times I though "did he just say that?" In this video cracks me up
That bad joke writing doe. "leaving them more exposed than Bill Cosby" and then "having to uninstall a component in order to mount another is worse than AIDS" Guess you really are feeling under the weather.
You really must be feeling under the weather. Maybe just stick to the hydrating and have someone else write the scripts. :-D JKJK
+Justin French surprised by the cringy jokes? you must be new here!
+Awesomesauce Network I'm still getting used to it.. :-/
+Awesomesauce Network Love your jokes! everything that is a butt hurt to humanity is funny. Even so english
+Justin French His scripts are the best part of his videos, loose that, and it would take the fun out of watching them. Please Kyle, don't change nothing.
+Justin French when he said worse than aids, he added, "they only sit in the corner with their phones" or something which means he was talking about teacher aids possibly?
Whenever I ordered my PC parts I bought on Black Friday, the motherboard arrived a week late...
+The Hilo623 Or the other problem could be receiving the wrong parts. Both are very possible.
+james64468 I'm lucky that didn't happen, they did however send me a wrong part the next week
The Hilo623 True. I might have to change to different company. My bank is getting more picky about who I do business with. They pretty much thought Newegg is a scam.
lol, my bank wouldn't let me use Newegg
The Hilo623 I know it like what is wrong with them guys. In a way it hassle. I had to talk to them just to get this last order though. I should save up and go to microcenter.
That last point really hits home. I just put together my first computer and ended up cutting my hand on the Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler. Luckily I only started bleeding after my hand was away from the cpu cooler so no blood got on the radiator. The machine sure does run like a champ though. Building a computer takes a lot of patience the first time but feels so damn good when everything boots up perfectly.
My case fan cables were too short to plug it into MOBO so I had to plug them directly to PSU, which was just an annoyance because if I want them to be quieter I can just use some control sliders I got on top of my case, but if I could just control those with software, it could be a bit better in longer run.
The most annoying thing about building my PC for the first time a few weeks ago was the darn motherboard not detecting the RAM. Not only that but when I got to MicroCenter to buy the 2133MHz Kingston HyperX FURY they were closed so I gad to wait until the next day. I had to get an additional 8GB RAM module with a lower speed, to be able to get into the BIOS to update it and change the speed of the RAM to be able to use the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 32GB DRAM 3200MHz kit that I had bought for the PC. That and having to install and uninstall the Cooler Master Hyper 612 Ver.2 every time to change the RAM.
I feel you. My mobo is a shit one from Dell, that doesn't have any manual anywhere. Had to take a lot of things off and back on to figure out which slots should be used for 3 sticks of RAM, otherwise only 4gb were usable.
Having to uninstall CPU cooler to upgrade the RAM sure sucks. I had it the other way around: I had to remove my RAM sticks to clip the fan on my Dynatron Mars t1 but I have no clearence issues with RAM.
ALWAYS put one ramstick in to the slot the furthest away from the cpu. Start Check reboot put the next stick in and youre clear to go
I don't think i've ever seen a mobo that that will work in with a single stick of ram.
Most manuals i've ever read it's always single in slot 1, the closest to the cpu.
Now of course after the first stick it can get down right weird how they have to be installed.
Chris Baker Yeah, you should *always* check the manual. If you don't have a manual, it may stand on the mobo itself, which one is slot 1 or you can test it like A Fox said.
there are mobos that run with one stick. I've seen a prebuilt pc mobo with 2 slots and only one stick. I wonder if not basically any mobo should work with one ram stick?
Ugh, the 212. Never again.
+ImTheMartian I was planing on buying one, what's so bad about it?
+SirThanksAlot Nothing really. it's a good, cheap heatsink. certainly not the best but it does good. The only thing is is that it's a bitch to install. it was my first heatsink putting on and I struggled for a while. It's also known to cut people. lol
ImTheMartian what was the problem when installing it?
+SirThanksAlot If it's your first time installing it, it's just kinda difficult. I've had to do it a few times now. the first time was a while ago so I don't remember what the issue was.
+SirThanksAlot the mounting bracket is a pain in the ass, and the instructions offer no help.
OMG this is amazing, you really need more videos like this.
yes, i saw this 3 years late. not everyone was born a pc enthusiast
When just one part isn't compatible so you have to rechoose nearly everything in order to fix it whether it's to find compatible parts for the original incompatible part or because replacing the incompatible part raised new issues
when you buy the wrong parts i did that now I miss that 200$
they found a cure for that one: Research
pcpartpicker.com
+brandon vincent no I bought it and waited a month to build it so when you buy some thing off Amazon you have 2 week to return
+RadioFlyer05 I ment you 2 weeks until you can't return
+brandon vincent I know lol I wish you could just return it when ever
I'm amazed you never brought up the two different screw sizes, or the fact that 2.5", 3.5", and 5.25" drives are not only not literally those sizes, but they don't scale up well. For example, you can't vertically stack 2x 3.5" drives in a 5.25" bay.
I never minded the front-panel headers, except when they're either inversed or when the power LED either has 2 separate wires or where the two wires are separated by a dummy.
Not having the right power connector never bothered me too much - it's a little annoying but converters are dirt cheap.
Agree about the power connection, wish there was an easier way. Maybe if those plugs had some kind of peel off tape to connect them however your mobo is configured.
As someone with shitty motor control, I'd have to mention that working in anything other than ATX cases is a pain in the butt for me. Yes, mini-ITX builds are cute and sexy as all get-out, but if I drop a single screw in there or accidentally wedge a Molex or SATA connector behind the GPU before moving on to cable management, the self-hatred grows to immense levels.
I mean, magnetic screwdriver bits are cool and all, but Cerebral Palsy means microstutters in your hands at nearly all times, and the occasional accidental and jerky gesture. *That* inevitably means losing screws near the motherboard, even with a magnetic bowl or organizer set aside.
Considering, when a friend or family member wants me to check out their supposedly sweet gaming-enabled Barebones PC building project, I usually end up wanting to choke a female of the Canis Familiaris genus...
THE most annoying thing is having 20 dollars in my pocket
And no thrift shop sell pc parts
I have that Problem with my 20 500 Dollars
Hahaha that aftermarket cooling system! :D
So true ... xD
I've been awaiting for my stuff for a week and spent 5 hours trying to get it to work then my mouse and keyboard decided not to work and now I am so posses off
when you buy the parts and realize one was incompatible with the entire build
Return the part an buy a new one
PC part picker is not perfect.
I did that when ordering my PC but luckily the guys I bought my parts off allowed me to correct it before they shipped it
the most annoying part is when you can't afford parts
vishal shaw That's cause your brother's called Rick 😂😂😂
when you build a 10 thousand gaming setup on pcpartpicker but then you realize oh shit my bank account only has 1 percent of that
But... when you can't afford parts, you can't have the annoying parts
I'm jealous over my dad's AMD Ryzen 7 PC, I have a slow AMD Athlon PC :(
The I/O shield would be mine, the cut I got from that came back for round 2 when it started bleeding again mid shift at work.
And all those little tabs, I wiggled them loose, but I'm not quite sure I was supposed to.
What I hate the most is connecting the main power connection on the main board with the power supply and sometimes it feels like the board is gonna brake
dat thumbnail tho.
luv you bb
Cute
AY ITS DEZFY
When you forget to ground yourself and fry your new motherboard.
That is like a 0.01% chance.
Mike F v
Mike F Let's be honest: is there even a documented case of someone breaking their things by not grounding?
I just fried mine last week had to buy a new one
F
I know it falls in the category of order of operations, but putting the mobo in before the IO sheild. I feel like i do it almost every time and it's such a pain when you've already started wiring other parts up just to realize you have to do it over again.
"For builders who find the task too heavy, there's vomit in their chassis already, mom's spaghetti." Lmao, nice
When you finally finish building your $20,000 PC and all you have to do is move it to your newly purchased desk in your basement, but then you drop it and watch it explode as you scream on the floor.
No.....just me?
ye
ouch
you forgot to mention installing windows :D
i am at the 4th try right now ;~;
tsnakem how? installing windows is really easy :D
HANZO SHlMADA if windows wouldnt keep destroying itself then yes
btw 5th try right now
***** well Windows 10 isnt that bad of an OS for me
IF IT WORKS
that and if you want to play DX 12 games on any other platform than windows well you cant
Took me a few tries to install windows 7 via USB to
Im stupid and i installed windows on my friends pc twice before realizing that i had to go into bios and change the boot drive from the usb to the hdd i installed it on...lmao
Back in the day, dealing with DMA and IRQ conflicts. Then freeing up enough base memory to run programs through various edits of Autoexec.bat and Config.sys and memory managers. Placing them in different spots in the file affects how much you get and was always a trial and error as it logically didn't make any sense sometimes; absolute madness.
