Lol. That sounds like what a dime a dozen resnublican and demoncrat does when he or she claims he or she stays for our constitutional rights yet performs political actions that PROVE the opposite..xD
I've had a prebuilt for almost 2 years because I was terrified of messing something up building a pc, but after watching your videos I realized it's pretty easy to work with computers as long as you're not reckless about it. I'm very much looking forward to the time when I finally replace my pc, because I'm going to do it right and build it this time.
@@Piyesgi Most IO shields will have tiny clips that hold it on the case. Since there are so many, it is really hard to get them all bent in without damaging them. I have been able to take out an IO shield so I could move the motherboard to a new case, however it is extremely difficult. I probably bent a few clips, however I was able to get it in the new case.
This was exactly what I needed. I recently bought a pretty awesome tower PC off amazon and the case is total garbage for air flow and style, so I bought a new case and came looking for a video on how to transfer cases. This is what I needed. Thank you!
You’re literally a lifesaver. I’m moving overseas and had no clue where to start to safely remove everything so I could follow other packing videos. Thanks so much for explaining everything and pointing out different cables so even us new people could follow along!
like cloning an OS from a dual boot system , 7+10, but only one OS partition, 10, that will used in a new build that will be booted from a M.2 NVME SSD . man this is a doozy
Hey Jay not sure if you will ever read this but I'm a senior in high school and found your channel 5 years ago, built my first computer 4 years ago...I've loved watching your channel grow and watching your channel change and move into the studio along with your new house. Now in 3 weeks I leave for army basic training and won't get to watch any videos or comment at all. But I just wanted to say thank you for showing me everything I know about building computers and all the tech stuff about them...it's my new hobby and I love doing it I've built 5 computers (for friends and family)and I couldn't have done it without you. So thanks again Jay...keep up the good work
@@mohitagrawal10b99 I have 20 PTX 100050 super running in sli, It’s a midrange Ricardo for 100$ bucks used. But it gets 90000K FPS on max settings GTA 10000
7:26 - Important! When you pull the motherboardsideways you should be careful not to drag it onto the strand-offs (because often there are components on the back side too). I think this is important to mention, since this guide is targeted toward beginner-ish people.
@rom_kohai well on lga obviously outside, you can throw an intel cpu accross the room honestly. with a pga you should do it in socket or what I usually do is put it back into the plastic piece it originally came in.
@@Chuckiele I forget how Ryzen is packaged, but my Phenom came with like a porous piece of foam for the pins to dig into. I'll use that to put PGA CPUs on top of to clean if I need to (though usually I just leave it in the socket).
This video may be 3 years old but still very very valid. I'm a season tech, helping my friends and upgrading components from time to time. But small rookie mistakes are still made. Just yesterday, I got ape (at myself) with the CPU being struck and pulled out together with the original cooler. Thank goodness no damage done. This morning, this video showed up in my UA-cam list. I just wished it had showed up yesterday.
This is exactly what I needed, and the exact situation you talked about, got the pc from a friend, I‘ve been looking to get into pc gaming and working with a desktop all together for content creation, but I’m still kind of in the beginner stage, although people like you Jay make it so much easier!!! So thank you for making videos and content like this!!!
Hey just make you feel better... my teacher used your video as an assignment and we had to take notes on how to take the pc all apart. So thank you for this video:)
Im 25 and had never built a computer till last year, watched a couple pointers on your How to build video, came in handy, your teaching is perfect. Thanks again
He Jayz, I'm planning on building my first PC, (70yrs now), still in learning phase. Building a URL database now on PCbuild video's. This is coming on top of the list, as being one of the most informative so far.
@@CommanderBarfy I'm fairly sure that you can get some for only 10 bucks in some sketchy tunnels locally, but cheap prices online gets to only 50 bucks, on Facebook marketplace.
I got mine stuck in my old mobo, I grabbed a shoelace and a pen, I placed the shoelace under the clip and then I wrapped it around the pen, I pulled using the pen as hard as I could, the mobo bend but didn't break also the stupid clip never broke, finally the 24 pin came off . I was ready to brake the mobo, I don't know what I'm going to do next time I changed to a new power supply if I don't want to break my current mobo.
Honestly this was a lot of help, I built my first PC about 2 years ago... But before that I had a PC from Cyberpower. This made it so I could do a teardown, clean it and then refurbish it for a friend. Thanks Jay!
I'm glad you still do videos like these. It makes transitioning into the building world for new comers a lot easier. Part of what made your channel a go-to for me when I first started was that you not only talked about what to do but also ran over all the parts and detailed component stuff I didn't know at the time. Like I would have had no idea what a GPU or a heat sink was when I started and it made how-to videos difficult to follow. So yeah, I'm still glad and grateful you keep doing videos like this. And on the flip side, even if most of your audience already knows how to do this or what these parts are, you always include helpful tips that even season builders could get use from in the future!
I agree with Derek Jonez. Undo the connectors one at a time, working from what’s closest to you and going back. Feed each connector, and accompanying wire(s) back with it, to where they originate from before disconnecting the next connector. Helps keep everything straight forward and out of your way :) Good luck with your unbuild, RemixMyLife!
A long time ago, and many many builds later, I have finally figured out how to un-build a computer! Seriously tho, un-building was how I figured out how to build... There was no you-tube and no internet. This is an awesome video for the beginner who got his first computer and wants to tinker with it!
you need a soldering iron, solder, wires, and shriking tube... and basic knowledge of soldering.. aint rocket science.. just kinda do it and learn from mistakes.
It was this moment in like 9th grade (about 7 years ago) when we disassembled some old PCs of the school together with our teacher. I guess at this moment, my addiction for hardware, building computer and all that stuff really started. Now seeing a video like this feels a little nostalgic
And he was never heard from again. Some say he used the Verge build video to reassemble, others say an incorrectly installed PSU got him. Whatever the case he will be greatly missed.
Thanks Jay! I found this a little later in my disassembly but it's still very helpful. I got into PC super late and ended up going with a very high end prebuilt with a 3090 and 5950x. So as you can imagine, this tear down has been terribly scary as a first experience. I realize I had an underspec CPU cooler so I got a 360 aio, but due to the case and circumstances, I've essentially had to take EVERYTHING apart. It's still lying on the table at home, half dissassembled as I wait on the replacement cpu mount and backplate cyberpower never sent to me with the rest of the OEM parts, but I'm using the time in the interim to continue researching. Also, I wanted to give you a massive shout-out, I never would have made the jump from console to PC without the confidence I've gained watching your videos for the last few years. Thanks again Jay! Best PC tech UA-camr out there! Hope to see you on Phasmo one of these days!
Not Jay but I hope all went well for you! I will soon have to get a new PSU and GPU along with adding more SATA/storage. Enjoy the build. I had a friend build my PC for me when I went to Mexico. I did do IT but building your first isn’t easy as you have trouble finding your own mistakes.
@@FabianC907 Everything turned out great! It took quite a while given the unfavorable situation, but I was able to get my aio on, and keep all of the old fans in the chassis along with the new ones for the 360 rad! It's beautiful and runs oh so cool now! I ended up having to COMPLETELY take everything apart. The experience was taxing but so worthwhile. I feel much more confident with the intricacies of the hardware and making changes myself now. I honestly feel like the build looks a great deal better than how it shipped. I even invested the time into Signal RGB to sync all my peripherals and internal RGB. It's a beautiful beast that oughta be around for many years to come now, thanks for the reply, I hope you enjoy the mods you'll be making as well!
I started following Jay because I found his channel searching for how to build a computer. Over the years, he's shown a lot and now I have a water cooled CPU, although closed system but on my next build I might go with a video card water cooler system too.
This video is from awhile ago obviously but it is SO helpful for me today. My brother built my PC back in 2020 and I'm in the process of disassembling it and upgrading hardware. A lot of information here that's helpful for a beginner like me!
Thanks so much for this. I have a computer my brother in law helped me put together back in 2010. So his knowledge made the process easier obviously. I’m educating myself daily thanks to channels like yours. However, to the point you made about simply wanting to take the components from a nasty old case to something more refreshing/new, is what I’m planning. I’m still intimidated by the thought of putting it together 😬. Especially trying to remember what goes where etc. PS I just watched your video regarding cloning data since I wanted to update my pc to an ssd for booting. I just bought a newer GPU since my GTX 285 died. I know... prehistoric but I’m budgeting with my three kids. Got a rx 570 new from Newegg for $109. Lastly, the case! So your videos and knowledge are outstanding. Thanks brother
ive come across a tone of gamers online that have bought pre built pc's and have no clue as how to even check what ram they have or gpu/cpu let alone upgrade them this video will be very helpfull to share to these types of people thanks jayz :)
Four things not covered in this wonderful guide that I feel needed to be reiterated--and most people overlook: 1) It is just as important to GROUND yourself when disassembling a computer as it is when building one! Shorting compents leads to troubleshooting headaches or a trip to Geek Squad you could have avoided. 2) Sometimes capacitors, chokes, and chipsets can maintain a fair amount of charge and/or heat even hours after unplugging the PC. After you unplug the power cable from the wall & power supply, press the power button once (or twice if you have OCD) to release some potential energy built up. But even after beware touching some bare components on the motherboard as heat on bare skin is not the best of feelings. Also due note that modems (if you're old enough to remember them) and network cards still plugged in can carry charge through the PCB. It's not always "dangerous" but it can sure 'put a spark in your day' if you're not expecting it! 3) Don't assume your "durable", "rugged" or "military grade" components can withstand any and everything you throw at it. They have some durability, yes, but they are not unbreakable! They are also no more immune to static or kinetic energies than the guide book says. You're components aern't made of glass either, some care should be taken when handling but bubble wrapping your hands is not required. 4) READ THE MANUAL! and then read it again! Also, ask questions or google before assuming!
The tip about removing the power cable from an ssd would have been really helpful to my friend a few years ago. He snapped the connector right off the drive and I soldered an extension cable to each of the pins, so i could use it for myself
Anything can be unbuilt with 4 easy steps. 1. Find a sledge hammer. 2. Pick up sledge hammer. 3. Swing sledge hammer at problem. 4. Repeat 3 until satisfied with result.
I think this was a wonderful video, Jay. As somehow who considers myself rather tech savy and has built my last three PCs myself, I think any kind of informative video, no matter the knowledge level of the target audience, is valuable contribution. It's not just about content for those of us who subscribes, it's also about finding new viewers, and above all help those that do not know this stuff and who stumble across these videos by information searching.
Hm... you had a story why you needed to add a "kill" switch but now you tear apart that same computer. ;-) Looks like you didn't need a kill switch after all?
My first new computer was an OEM computer from HP my folks bought at Walmart. I practically destroyed the computer trying to figure out how to remove parts in order to find out what parts I needed in order to upgrade them. I didn't have access to the internet at the time, and if I did, it wouldn't have been much use as it was pre-UA-cam and tech forums/webistes weren't as robust or common as they are now. I learned a lot from that computer.
The opposite of "build" normally is "demolish". Quite often though, the word "build" is used (quite inappropriately I might say) instead of the correct "assemble". So in this case, the word you are looking for is: "disassemble". In any case there is no such term as "un-build"; that sounds like something from 1984, where language is already almost dead XD
This is nothing to do with this particular video, but i just wanna say Jay, your videos are really impressive. Helped me through some tough times in life and in pc building..whenever i get anything bad coming my way im now just like I DIGRESS! and it goes away, love you man!
Cannot explain how much this video helped me, I know absolutely nothing about building (or in this case un-building) PC's. I bought a pre-built 1-2 years ago and it has some pretty nice specs, but the case is awful, makes it hard to upgrade anything within the pc itself. I recently bought an H7 Flow from NZXT to move my parts into but needed help with taking everything apart, took me 2 minutes to find this video, and now I know what I need. Now the scary part, actually doing it 😟
Just un-built my computer 2 weeks ago. Moved mATX system from full ATX case to a Fractal Design Focus G mini. Now it fits in the little computer cubby in my computer desk. You know those 5 1/4" drive bays nobody uses? I put a drawer in mine to hold all my USB drives so they are easy to find and access now.
I watch from time to time and your right not EVERYONE is as smart or some are just getting into computers,I'm the guy that went from console to PC gaming and have no idea what I was doing I just threw money at iBuyPower long story short..im replacing the case as a project for learning,and my current case just plain sucks replacing raidmax alpha with Lian li dynamic.This video along with other PC gurus are awesome. Thank you 😊
i loved this bc i built my computer with my stepdad and i couldn't remember how to take it apart into my new case ! and hes not here with us anymore to teach me how to unbuild. thank you :)
Thank you so much from a super beginner who is trying to upgrade their gaming pc! I'm feeling a LOT better about taking things apart and putting them back in haha!
This is actually really helpful, I found it very difficult messing with CPU coolers because of the thermal paste and everything and getting it off the CPU without damaging anything., actually building a PC the right way is not difficult compared to this.
so I was passing down some of my parts from my build and taking off my stock Ryzen cooler and had the thing that Jay was talking about where the cooler pulled out the CPU and we were so worried about it. (luckily nothing happened to it) I am so happy that he pointed it out so hopefully fewer people have it happen to them.
Thank you for doing all this. I have been following your channel for about a year now. You have inspired me to build my own system and I appreciate every bit of information I can get.
Jay, I love the 'Up-sell' you did about 5 1/2 minutes into this video. I agree, they should definitely watch one of your 'Computer Build' videos when they try to use the "inerds" in a better case :)
Im gonna watch the video backwards so i can learn how to build a computer.
hah Jynx

Wow, did you use the video from the Verge as a learning example?
I'm sad, Jay never took off the
io shield.☹
Yeah I Want To Know How To Remove Io Shield
@@Piyesgi Most IO shields will have tiny clips that hold it on the case. Since there are so many, it is really hard to get them all bent in without damaging them. I have been able to take out an IO shield so I could move the motherboard to a new case, however it is extremely difficult. I probably bent a few clips, however I was able to get it in the new case.
Its important to point that out because the IO Shield is part of the Motherboard and not the Case, and a newbie can easily think otherwise.
*Brace
@@theredstonehive He was taking the piss.
This was exactly what I needed. I recently bought a pretty awesome tower PC off amazon and the case is total garbage for air flow and style, so I bought a new case and came looking for a video on how to transfer cases. This is what I needed. Thank you!

ive come across a tone of gamers online that have bought pre built pc's and have no clue as how to even check what ram they have or gpu/cpu let alone upgrade them this video will be very helpfull to share to these types of people thanks jayz :)
love you videos Jay. They are great!
Four things not covered in this wonderful guide that I feel needed to be reiterated--and most people overlook:
1) It is just as important to GROUND yourself when disassembling a computer as it is when building one! Shorting compents leads to troubleshooting headaches or a trip to Geek Squad you could have avoided.
2) Sometimes capacitors, chokes, and chipsets can maintain a fair amount of charge and/or heat even hours after unplugging the PC. After you unplug the power cable from the wall & power supply, press the power button once (or twice if you have OCD) to release some potential energy built up. But even after beware touching some bare components on the motherboard as heat on bare skin is not the best of feelings. Also due note that modems (if you're old enough to remember them) and network cards still plugged in can carry charge through the PCB. It's not always "dangerous" but it can sure 'put a spark in your day' if you're not expecting it!
3) Don't assume your "durable", "rugged" or "military grade" components can withstand any and everything you throw at it. They have some durability, yes, but they are not unbreakable! They are also no more immune to static or kinetic energies than the guide book says. You're components aern't made of glass either, some care should be taken when handling but bubble wrapping your hands is not required.
4) READ THE MANUAL! and then read it again! Also, ask questions or google before assuming!
Is your profile pic in reference to Unbox Therapy's thumbnails lol
haven't needed this since pretty much day1, back in the 80s. still watched.
5:20 FX-8320 with Intel stock cooler?? Lol
He was refering to the other computer, but with the camera angle it is a little weird lol
@@jaenalfonso0 Oh that makes more sense now
Hahaha
Between this video, and his one about adding an SSD to speed up your PC, JayZ is really contributing new knowledge to humanity.
But would RGB thermal paste "brighten" your day instead?
That doesn't exist........yet
The tip about removing the power cable from an ssd would have been really helpful to my friend a few years ago. He snapped the connector right off the drive and I soldered an extension cable to each of the pins, so i could use it for myself
Yeah I broke the connector on a DVD drive. Get worried every time I disconnect SATA power now.
I thought the title is 'How to United Nations build a computer'
I am upgrading right now, and this was a big help because essentially I took everything and put new parts in
Anything can be unbuilt with 4 easy steps.
1. Find a sledge hammer.
2. Pick up sledge hammer.
3. Swing sledge hammer at problem.
4. Repeat 3 until satisfied with result.
Doing exactly whats your use case example was. Taking good components and putting them in a prettier case. Thanks for the tips!
"Old McDonald had a Farm.. A.I. ..A.I.O."
(What has been seen cannot be unseen.)
He had a shield he did not take off. A.I. ..A.I.O.
I had to read this my own two eyes I hope you're happy.
I've been doing this shit almost as long as Jay has, why do I still enjoy these videos so much?
Bro arctic silver is better than peanut butter I love it on my bread
You shouldn't eat thermal paste it's really not good for health, and you'll not be cooler 🙊
@@vinvinudu77 oh I'm really cool
@@rolfv.s.2870 then be careful, you'll get cold
@@vinvinudu77 bro I'm just fresh af
Preparing to possibly replace my motherboard on the first PC build I did almost four years ago, this is super helpful!
you forgot the i/o shield Jay!! How do i remove the i/o shield???!! WHAT ABOUT THE I/O SHIELD!@!!!!!!!???? OH MY GOD THE HUMANITY!!!!!

Lmao I just finished building my computer after watching hundreds of videos on how to build it and this is the video that comes up the next day
I think this was a wonderful video, Jay.
As somehow who considers myself rather tech savy and has built my last three PCs myself, I think any kind of informative video, no matter the knowledge level of the target audience, is valuable contribution. It's not just about content for those of us who subscribes, it's also about finding new viewers, and above all help those that do not know this stuff and who stumble across these videos by information searching.
Hm... you had a story why you needed to add a "kill" switch but now you tear apart that same computer. ;-)
Looks like you didn't need a kill switch after all?
Maybe little Jay is getting a big upgrade?
Literally the only video I could find with a good explanation on how to remove the cpu cooler. Thank you!
*makes this an hour after I unbuild my compooper
Blurrzi haha
I just finished watching Anthony build a computer, now watching you un-build, it's a surprisingly good day.
4:30 "Make sure [the RAM module] doesn't fall out. When I do the top....."
Who the f*** builds their PC in standing position?
My first new computer was an OEM computer from HP my folks bought at Walmart. I practically destroyed the computer trying to figure out how to remove parts in order to find out what parts I needed in order to upgrade them. I didn't have access to the internet at the time, and if I did, it wouldn't have been much use as it was pre-UA-cam and tech forums/webistes weren't as robust or common as they are now.
I learned a lot from that computer.
I just realized... I installed my am3 cooler 90 degrees... off
AM3 is trash
Ryan Mackie
The AM3 lineup was actually pretty compelling for the time with Phenom II...
The problem is when you get to AM3+
The opposite of "build" normally is "demolish". Quite often though, the word "build" is used (quite inappropriately I might say) instead of the correct "assemble". So in this case, the word you are looking for is: "disassemble". In any case there is no such term as "un-build"; that sounds like something from 1984, where language is already almost dead XD
You didn't pop out the I/O panel for the board. Those are different from board to board and needs to stay with the motherboard.
I'm quite familiar with building PCs but it's easy to see how this could be very useful. Always appreciate noob friendly guides.
OH, now I can un-build my computer and then build it again XD
Jay this video saved me I just bought a new case and this is my first experience working on computers. Thank you so much
Jay, you didn't talk about grounding yourself. tsk tsk.
This is nothing to do with this particular video, but i just wanna say Jay, your videos are really impressive. Helped me through some tough times in life and in pc building..whenever i get anything bad coming my way im now just like I DIGRESS! and it goes away, love you man!
"always advises you on using a coffee filter
"never uses a coffee filter"
Super helpful...thinking about swapping to a new case but lack the confidence to start tearing down, this helped a lot!
And he forgot the I/O-shield in stuck in the case... FAIL!!
Cannot explain how much this video helped me, I know absolutely nothing about building (or in this case un-building) PC's. I bought a pre-built 1-2 years ago and it has some pretty nice specs, but the case is awful, makes it hard to upgrade anything within the pc itself. I recently bought an H7 Flow from NZXT to move my parts into but needed help with taking everything apart, took me 2 minutes to find this video, and now I know what I need. Now the scary part, actually doing it 😟
Is that a United Nations computer?! Surely it is dismantle a pc 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Just un-built my computer 2 weeks ago. Moved mATX system from full ATX case to a Fractal Design Focus G mini. Now it fits in the little computer cubby in my computer desk.
You know those 5 1/4" drive bays nobody uses? I put a drawer in mine to hold all my USB drives so they are easy to find and access now.
goddamn pls stop saying i digress lol
I watch from time to time and your right not EVERYONE is as smart or some are just getting into computers,I'm the guy that went from console to PC gaming and have no idea what I was doing I just threw money at iBuyPower long story short..im replacing the case as a project for learning,and my current case just plain sucks replacing raidmax alpha with Lian li dynamic.This video along with other PC gurus are awesome. Thank you 😊
i loved this bc i built my computer with my stepdad and i couldn't remember how to take it apart into my new case ! and hes not here with us anymore to teach me how to unbuild. thank you :)
I am moving my parts into a new case next week so this video was perfect!
As someone who has built and upgraded several systems, I still found this video interesting to watch.
Currently needing to take my computer apart to upgrade, and this is a super useful video. Thanks!
Thank you so much from a super beginner who is trying to upgrade their gaming pc! I'm feeling a LOT better about taking things apart and putting them back in haha!
I have built and edited PC's for 2 decades but didn't know about the best way to take off the cooler from the CPU. So I did learn something :-)
when you need a bigger studio that means your doing better then where your started from. Congrats and cant wait to see the new studio one day!
Bricked my mobo Christmas day. This was a great refresher.
This is actually really helpful, I found it very difficult messing with CPU coolers because of the thermal paste and everything and getting it off the CPU without damaging anything., actually building a PC the right way is not difficult compared to this.
so I was passing down some of my parts from my build and taking off my stock Ryzen cooler and had the thing that Jay was talking about where the cooler pulled out the CPU and we were so worried about it. (luckily nothing happened to it) I am so happy that he pointed it out so hopefully fewer people have it happen to them.
Thank you for doing all this. I have been following your channel for about a year now. You have inspired me to build my own system and I appreciate every bit of information I can get.
Jay, I love the 'Up-sell' you did about 5 1/2 minutes into this video. I agree, they should definitely watch one of your 'Computer Build' videos when they try to use the "inerds" in a better case :)
