I love how every time I watch one of your videos I'm either thinking "this man really knows his stuff, a true expert in the field" or "oh dear god, what is he trying to do now?!?!" ...there's no middle ground.
One important thing about the CPU - lay your computer down flat so the cpu and cooler are perfectly aligned. Don't install with motherboard being vertical.
As long as he rotates his body& head parallel to the vertical PC plane, gravity will just realign to his favour. It just got things worked in his house😂
But Kasey is in Canada... Seriously, though. Everything is 3X easier with the PC lying on its back and the motherboard horizontal. That's why step two for doing pretty much anything inside a PC case is lay the thing on its back. Step one is unplug it from the wall socket.
This is the first step to becoming a real man, a real man fix his own computer, his own car, next you gonna be fixing up all the electronics in your house and then you gonna be hired by Mitsubishi Incorporated to make the next OM System camera.
Btw this content (upgrading and switching PC components) is what made me click on your channel, like a moth to a flame. Good stuff. EDIT: btw your SSD is safe even though there was no standoff for it be screwed into, the reason being is that the heatsink is holding it down at the correct angle and not further. I was going to complain watching you screw in the SSD directly into the motherboard, bending the SSD to all hell but you resolved it perfectly on your own. Honestly, you're very smart at problem solving so you should be proud of yourself. Well done man.
This series you're doing makes me wish I recorded all my PC builds.... Building your own PCs over time is awesome and you learn a TON with each one. It's a great service you're doing.
Glad you decided to RTFM. Your confidence has grown so much working inside the computer and that is fun to watch. The ssd info about the screws should also be in the manual. Please be careful with the gpu that was very scary but I’m glad you didn’t break it (please put a trigger warning next time).
I really like your camera videos, because I feel like I frequently learn something watching them. I'm not learning shit from these but they are pretty entertaining.
The SSD should be fine with just the heat spreader retaining it. Odd that it didn't have a standoff in that space though, as that is the most common length for SSDs. Future note, don't remove the sticker, it is designed to operate with the sticker installed.
Your motherboard manual will tell you which SATA ports are shared with that PCIe slot. Use the ports that are not. Though boards vary, the ports that are physically furthest from the fastest PCIe slot are usually the ones that still work when that slot is in use. The guy who built your PC probably installed the graphics card before realizing the fast PCIe slot would be blocked. He used the slow slot because he was too lazy to backtrack. Here's a tip for replacing that CPU. When you pull off the cooler, note that the writing on the old CPU is right side up if you look at it from the back of the PC where the keyboard and such are plugged in. That's the way the new one will go. Yes, there are little triangles to match, but they are invisible to everyone over the age of 16.
Oh man, that was sooooo hard to watch. An my brain kept spinning and ONLY thinking "How does his backup-strategy look like?" I prayed to god, there is a really good one ... In the end ... YEEEESSS ! Success :-)
Yeah judging by his words he doesn't haven't a backup. The first law in digital world is... If you're data only exists in one place, it doesn't exist at all! So i sure as hell hope he's got copies somewhere or gets right on it before stuffing with hardware more!
Owned a 3900x and that thing was amazing for productivity. That 5900x will serve you well. Currently have a 9900x sitting on my desk because amazon is taking their sweet time to ship my new motherboard.
SSD should be safe not being screwed in, but it is advised that you screw it in. you can unscrew the bottom standoff from the lower m.2 slot and screw that into the upper slot. It should be mentioned somewhere in the manual as well on how to do it exactly. For the CPU upgrade, make sure you update the BIOS first, and do the upgrade with the PC laying down flat. It is also possible that you yank out the CPU when you try to remove the CPU cooler. I do a little wiggle of the CPU cooler before lifting it at an angle, like a lever. Just some things to be careful about. You got this!
Also - it is so much easier and far less likely that you will have any chance of accidently screwing something up if you lie the case down on its side when installing or removing components from the motherboard. Just take one of your cameras and set it up so that you have a top down view and put it on the table or your desk. The number 1 thing you must be careful of is to not short out your motherboard. The two most common ways of shorting out a motherboard are static electric discharge _ so wear the wrist band thingy and don't wear a sweater or walk on carpet while working on the computer _ and the other one is to drop a screw or piece of conductive metal onto the motherboard surface and then power it back up with metal on a spot where it can short out something.
I had the same debate in my head 3 years ago. I travel so I got the 14in M1 Max 1Tb + a mini windows PC other tasks. I have 20+ year old Canon cameras so I'll be purchasing a new one soon. probably some sort of hybrid video/photo. very entertaining keep up the good work.
My first time installing an SSD took me a good 45 minutes. The whole time I was doing everything mostly right, but just wrong enough to where the whole process was a pain in the ass. 😅
Just go right to 6:43 for a brief synopsis of this video. Thank you for sharing your misfortune with us all. Seriously. I needed this so I know I'm not the only one who has mini panic attacks when I do this sort of work on my comp.
I love these videos 😂 makes me laugh every time. I’m the one who told you not to worry about it and pointed out the worst case scenario which ended up happening 🤣. You probably got many comments about the same thing though.
Seeing the GPU get ripped out like that almost gave me a heart attack. Much easier to remove when it's facing up, just a gentle rocking motion along the length of the card is usually enough to dislodge them. For the CPU, it only goes on one way, never force it, a pea sized amount of thermal paste is enough.
3:23 Just for completeness, heat sink stickers do exists. Modern Samsung drives have stickers on them that act as a heat sink. But the one on your drive does not look like a special sticker (I still would not peel it off).
Not sure about thsi particular NVMe model, but the sticker on an NVMe drive is usually designed to stay in place and often contains a thin layer of material that helps dissipate heat. So yeah, it's generally best to leave the sticker on.
Kasey, I've been in IT since the mid 70s, a time when mainframes roamed the earth, and the engineers used to say "beware of software guys carrying screwdrivers." I was a software guy! 🤓 Perhaps we should extend the warning to photographers and cinematographers? BTW I did learn to build and repair my own PCS. People ask me "do you still fix computers?" I reply "Sometimes." I'm unworthy to follow your channel, being a stills photographer (took my first photos with the family Box Brownie in the late 1950s), but I do enjoy your adventures. Back to being a lurker...
Dear Mr Conspiracies, Well done on your upgrades. Regarding your 5800 ryzen upgrade since no one has mentioned it yet, It's advisable to run your cpu at 100% load for a while before powering down, The reason is sometimes the thermal paste creates a suction and can pull the cpu right out of the socket along with the heatsink, if you warm it up first and use a slight twisting motion instead of yanking directly out it will negate this risk. This can be more likely with fresh wet paste I find. As someone mentioned anti static protection is advisable just for peace of mind. However if you don't have an anti static strap you can just periodically touch something earthed (radiators, toaster etc). Here in the uk the mains plug is earthed so i just always leave the power supply plugged in but switched OFF. Regarding new motherboards with PCI gen 5, the performance impact between gen 5,4 and 3 are minimal (single digit %) for most gpus. I only ever upgrade if my pc isn't able to do what I want. Keep up the good work :)
Good job swapping the ssd slot and figuring out that disabled sata.1 and sata.2 on your motherboard. One reason why the ssd could have been installed into slot 2 is if the ssd itself wasn't fast enough for it to matter. Another would be that you might want to use your faster slot for scratch storage if the OS was on the ssd.
Can't wait for the CPU air cooler installation. You might need to disassemble everything to access the back of the motherboard for screw/bracket support.
@@ivandj707 would be funny if the guy who built his PC cable managed everything over the bracket and he had to undo all that and probably never tidy it up again, leaving the side panel off for better cooling for the rest of its dusty life.
Great job! For the anchors, you shouldn't need to remove them. Motherboard should have included a baggy with the m.2 things you would need to add the SSD to that spot. Though im unclear if your builder used those to install the SSD in the bottom slot.
As long as the heatsink is adhered to the NVMe M.2 SSD, It will be a secure mount. The stand off should have a slot for a flathead screw driver, or shaped in a hex pattern for a socket drive or Knurled for easy removal from the motherboard.
I'm a bit jealous that your motherboard CMOS battery is both easily accessible and easily replaceable EDIT: Also, heatsink stickers on NVMe M.2 SSDs do actually exist!
I wonder if there's another standoff in the box that the motherboard came in. Maybe you have to get to the back side of the motherboard to remove the standoffs that are already in place
I've built about 3 PCs from components over the past 25 years. So I'm an expert now, right? LOL! While I've never had a failure yet, every time the power switch is turned on for the first time, my heart is in my mouth.
The anchor stem for the top ssd slot needs to be moved over. Yes, it should be possible to move, for either slot. You see the series of hole on the top slot? It's meant to accommodate different sized m.2 sizes. The anchors unscrew from the motherboard. The heat sink isn't really necessary, but its fine. You got it.
This reminds me of the bad old days when I had a wedding photo business and I built a couple of PCs to be able to handle Capture One efficiently. Of course, once they’re built, there’s always parts to upgrade and it’s easy to spend more time effing around with computers than actually getting images ready for customers. In the end I gave up and moved to the company with that fruit logo. Not so much fun playing with hardware, but much easier to actually get things produced, even on the old iMacs we had at the time.
Worst outcome might have been him being found dead - slipped right into his screwdriver with that darn SSD sticker planted to his forehead. But he pushed through, he survived, made it happen. I'm so glad.
This is me. Have a PC to be able to change the hardware, but too incompetent to do it without major havoc. Every time I have to be inside my PC, I cry deep inside until I am done. Then I cry on the outside as well.
I believe there should be a screw kit with your motherboard with an extra stand off to fully support the M.2 drive. It would say in your owners manual.
@@cameraconspiraciesNewer MBs have eliminated the problem by using a turning device that latches the m.2 and holds it down. You just rotate the latch to remove it and rotate the latch back to fasten it. Too bad they didn't think about that from the jump.
@cameraconspiracies changing the CPU yourself sounds like a great idea... . BTW: informations about handling sensitive computer elements, e.g. electrostatic discharging are out there, just waiting for you to read and follow them.
The trick to removing the GPU easily is to use a chopstick to press down on the lever, if it's too narrow of a space for your finger. I'd also recommend laying your pc down horizontally, depending on what you're working on in there it can make it easier. If your SSD standoff riser screw thing isn't able to be unscrewed from the old slot, you can buy another one online and screw it into the new slot. SSD is probably fine for now being unscrewed, but could knock loose if you're ever moving your PC around, all depends on how hard the heat sink is pressing on it.
Serious QQQ, you have me baffled. - WHY do you NOT turn the case over so the motherboard is flat and gravity works with you? I have built 100s of computers and never even considered changing components while the case was upright like that. Pushing (installing) and Pulling (removing) is soooo much easier when pushing Down and pulling Up. Plus when you drop a screw or something it stays right there vs playing Pachinko and guessing where it fell.
@@kashyapchonekar5437 You do know it’s not just about Graphics ? The M Chips are better than any PC Chip and run super efficiently.If an Apple Mac or Mini can out perform 90% of PCs then imagine if it had a dedicated GPU ?
Best comment ever. For his own sake, he should get a Mac studio. For me, because I’ve been through all of this, it’s painful to watch. And I know what can fix it, but he’s not gonna do it. :-) But you’re right, it’s perfect for UA-cam content. I have a feeling if he was working on a feature film or something like that, he would make the change. But actually, these issues make it easy to create more content, and him sharing this is really valuable for anybody going through these kinds of issues, so it’s solid content as well. Kind of like teaching somebody how to change a tire. Except when you change a tire, it actually does fix the problem. It doesn’t suddenly make your transmission get screwed up, or ruin the other tires, or give you issues With your engine. What he’s doing now is a black hole of time and effort. It will never end. Trust me, I’ve been there. :-) Many people have.
Your SSD is gonna be fine without the screw. If you want to put the anchor in the right position you have to take the motherboard out which I would not recommend if you don't know what you are doing. I would however do a ssd benchmark and monitor the ssd temperature while doing this, sometimes head-sinks can actually block heat and make it worse, especially if they don't sit straight on the chips.
Be glad you aren't trying to make m2 RAID work with Windows 11... but congrats on getting all of it to work -- like everyone else here make sure to lay the computer down and unplug all impeding devices/items if you're rewiring/moving things on the mobo. Your hands will thank you.
Maybe there are additional screw anchor for the ssd in you motherboard box ? Mine are removable but maybe its a different system on yours. Otherwise you can get an anchor online easily. It kinda work with your solution, the heatsink should stabilize the ssd but if your pc move or something and your Window become unstable or crash it means the ssd moved. I dont know if you gained speed or not but you could have tested it with cristal disk info, testing the two spot.
4:00 Me: PLEASE STOP! IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SCREWED, JUST PUT THE HEAT SINK AND IT WILL LOCK IT IN PLACE! PLEASE! hahahah it's funny to see you struggle, because that's me every time i build a pc (: AM5 was shocking ngl
I thought that too. An NVME or SSD enclosure is a must own IMO. It's easy to clone your boot drive when needed, and for content creation it's fast enough to edit from on the go.
Kasey, instead of wasting money on that USB-C card, just get a proper B550 or X570 motherboard. It will have a USB-C built in and you will have proper PCIX 4.0 for your fast graphics card. Something like ASUS ROG Strix B550-I will be more than enough for you and it comes with good ALC1220 audio chipset as well. You can get this used for around $100 US. There are Gigabyte Aorus Elite (early versions) that come with that stupid fan on the chipset (point of noise and failure). Skip that. They came out with X570S soon after where you didn't need that fan anymore.
While you are at it, get a new case with plenty of cooling fans. This way you don't have to disassemble everything and just sell it (it would be better, if you sold a working computer, if you care to get more money). With more fans you can run them at lower RPM (less noise). Use the money from selling your old stuff to fund newer and better.

Every time I have to be inside my PC, I cry deep inside until I am done. Then I cry on the outside as well.
I believe there should be a screw kit with your motherboard with an extra stand off to fully support the M.2 drive. It would say in your owners manual.
Even if there was, I don't have it. I didn't build this PC.
@@cameraconspiraciesNewer MBs have eliminated the problem by using a turning device that latches the m.2 and holds it down. You just rotate the latch to remove it and rotate the latch back to fasten it. Too bad they didn't think about that from the jump.
The trials on the way were worth it for the triumph at the end
Silicon Steak stealing your slowmo and music in his 5090 video. Seems like he's trying to use your vibe in his other videos too. you made it :)
hahaha, iv never felt more secure in my job than at this moment. thanks!
Good job, good job 👍
Yes yess this ssd had cause me issues too 😢
The 6:05 and onwards is like the election night! You never know what hits the fan first!
Could you please do a video on how you organize your work flow? And your file storage system.
Thank you
I already have.
@cameraconspiracies I can't find it via searching in UA-cam or Google, could you please post your title name or a link?
@@iamionscat9035 I don't remember which videos, I've mentioned it many times in the Q&A series ua-cam.com/video/WJRoQ6_OKt4/v-deo.html
@cameraconspiracies Thank you Kasey!
I've never seen a 6 year old PC to be si clean of dust. Truly remarkable!
Ever heard of dust filters?
@cameraconspiracies changing the CPU yourself sounds like a great idea... . BTW: informations about handling sensitive computer elements, e.g. electrostatic discharging are out there, just waiting for you to read and follow them.
The trick to removing the GPU easily is to use a chopstick to press down on the lever, if it's too narrow of a space for your finger. I'd also recommend laying your pc down horizontally, depending on what you're working on in there it can make it easier.
If your SSD standoff riser screw thing isn't able to be unscrewed from the old slot, you can buy another one online and screw it into the new slot. SSD is probably fine for now being unscrewed, but could knock loose if you're ever moving your PC around, all depends on how hard the heat sink is pressing on it.
PC conspiracies.
All I want is the perfect computer
You need a PC channel, Kasey. I enjoy these more than the camera stuff, LOL.
SSD Conspiracies
Wow thats a thrill to switch a SSD 🫣
Serious QQQ, you have me baffled. - WHY do you NOT turn the case over so the motherboard is flat and gravity works with you? I have built 100s of computers and never even considered changing components while the case was upright like that. Pushing (installing) and Pulling (removing) is soooo much easier when pushing Down and pulling Up. Plus when you drop a screw or something it stays right there vs playing Pachinko and guessing where it fell.
The screw you didn't put in is meant to hold down the ssd to your mobo but probably also serves as another electronic point of contact like a ground.
you success, without destroying your pc or data! win win :)
Success!
I’m so glad that Casey didn’t get a Mac mini. Sure it will be miles better in all cases, BUT now we we have this amazing content 😌
Not all cases the gpu doesn't hold a candle to 7900xt
@@kashyapchonekar5437 You do know it’s not just about Graphics ? The M Chips are better than any PC Chip and run super efficiently.If an Apple Mac or Mini can out perform 90% of PCs then imagine if it had a dedicated GPU ?
Best comment ever. For his own sake, he should get a Mac studio. For me, because I’ve been through all of this, it’s painful to watch. And I know what can fix it, but he’s not gonna do it. :-) But you’re right, it’s perfect for UA-cam content. I have a feeling if he was working on a feature film or something like that, he would make the change. But actually, these issues make it easy to create more content, and him sharing this is really valuable for anybody going through these kinds of issues, so it’s solid content as well. Kind of like teaching somebody how to change a tire. Except when you change a tire, it actually does fix the problem. It doesn’t suddenly make your transmission get screwed up, or ruin the other tires, or give you issues With your engine. What he’s doing now is a black hole of time and effort. It will never end. Trust me, I’ve been there. :-) Many people have.
@@Jza-GZa40k But it doesn't have a dedicated GPU, and that would also be a very different story. Also, have you heard about workstation CPUs?
Better in all cases except for you know... using it as a computer 🤣🤣
I'm waiting for the bios update with the 5900x
Your SSD is gonna be fine without the screw. If you want to put the anchor in the right position you have to take the motherboard out which I would not recommend if you don't know what you are doing. I would however do a ssd benchmark and monitor the ssd temperature while doing this, sometimes head-sinks can actually block heat and make it worse, especially if they don't sit straight on the chips.
Does your computer guy subcontract for Canon? Why else would he cripple it.
Yeah this looks like a lot more fun than getting a Mac and just making stuff all day with no issues.
Be glad you aren't trying to make m2 RAID work with Windows 11... but congrats on getting all of it to work -- like everyone else here make sure to lay the computer down and unplug all impeding devices/items if you're rewiring/moving things on the mobo. Your hands will thank you.
Should turn your tower on its side so you are reaching down inside. Much easier.
Did it increase the speed in the end?
Maybe there are additional screw anchor for the ssd in you motherboard box ? Mine are removable but maybe its a different system on yours. Otherwise you can get an anchor online easily.
It kinda work with your solution, the heatsink should stabilize the ssd but if your pc move or something and your Window become unstable or crash it means the ssd moved. I dont know if you gained speed or not but you could have tested it with cristal disk info, testing the two spot.
PCs are so great! So happy I have been dealing with this #@%! since 1988 instead of getting a Mac.
4:00 Me: PLEASE STOP! IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SCREWED, JUST PUT THE HEAT SINK AND IT WILL LOCK IT IN PLACE! PLEASE! hahahah it's funny to see you struggle, because that's me every time i build a pc (: AM5 was shocking ngl
The entire video I'm thinking....does he have that SSD backed up?
I thought that too. An NVME or SSD enclosure is a must own IMO. It's easy to clone your boot drive when needed, and for content creation it's fast enough to edit from on the go.
Kasey, instead of wasting money on that USB-C card, just get a proper B550 or X570 motherboard. It will have a USB-C built in and you will have proper PCIX 4.0 for your fast graphics card.
Something like ASUS ROG Strix B550-I will be more than enough for you and it comes with good ALC1220 audio chipset as well. You can get this used for around $100 US. There are Gigabyte Aorus Elite (early versions) that come with that stupid fan on the chipset (point of noise and failure). Skip that. They came out with X570S soon after where you didn't need that fan anymore.
If you do this, you will get no crappy line sharing and full PCIX 4.0 speed on your graphics card instead of that pleb PCIX 3.0. ;)
While you are at it, get a new case with plenty of cooling fans. This way you don't have to disassemble everything and just sell it (it would be better, if you sold a working computer, if you care to get more money). With more fans you can run them at lower RPM (less noise). Use the money from selling your old stuff to fund newer and better.
where is the mac ?
Where the sheep lay ;)
@@cameraconspiraciesat least the sheep aren’t crying about problems with their Mac’s because they actually work properly lmao 😂
I think we're way past nightmares. I had to ask the wife and children to leave the room.
Looking forward to your CPU upgrade.
Which pattern are you going to choose with your Thermal Paste?
Choose wisely or your computer dies instantly.
