    Christopher, my 13 year old son and I were assembling his computer from the parts we purchased from Microcenter. The lack of resources available in the product documentation and even the articles/videos I found made the process very long and frustrating...note: I have my master's in EE (about 25 years ago, although I haven't done tech work for a while). And then I found this video...you are absolutely brilliant!!! I wish I had this video first...I feel the 4 hours we spent before finding your video were basically wasted as we leveraged your video from the beginning to make sure we didn't do anything wrong. And, we did, in fact, find a few minor things which would have been very difficult to debug without your instructions. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I also joined your service!

I only just found your time stamps after 2 days of having my build put together and there is apparently more I need to do.

    Christopher, I massively appreciate your INCREDIBLY DETAILED guide!! I had watched some build guides and assumed I was competent. I was going to do my build with a friend, but because we had a COVID scare, my wife and I are doing a hard quarantine. I started building by myself, and felt utterly completely lost and anxious. Some build videos had terrible angles, explaining what they were "doing"--but what they were "doing" was off screen!! Your build was far more advanced than what I was going for (ASUS x570 / AMD 3700x [stock cooling] / RTX 2060 S / 2x8 Ballistix 3600 RAM / 500gb m.2 / 1tb SATA) but this was incredibly helpful. The tip to remove that HDD bay was good advice, even if I was scared to take out the fans lol (since I'd never worked with so many cables before hahah). Thanks again for such a super detailed and step-by-step guide, and done at a perfectly reasonably pace. I was so scared getting into this but man you got me thru it.

    Your video was a lifesaver! Thanks for the great job, it really made my new pc build possible. I enjoyed much of the video, however I do have some feedback; I was struggling to understand the whole motherboard and pins, I wish it were easier to point out. I know it is difficult to keep the camera focused and not blocked by hands, but maybe next time you can circle the specific pins to make it more clear. Again, the video was otherwise great and saved me lots of time and stress, it was just that one part that had me frustrated. One again, thank you so much for the in depth video and I look forward to learning more from you!!! :)

    Great video. It helped me a lot. I went with the same case and AIO. I did the RGB differently though. I bought three Lian Li ST120 fans with the hub. They match Galahad's fans. I installed those all as exhaust two at the top and one at the back. I found two completely black Lian Li non-RGB fans for the bottom intake that way the PSU and cables at the bottom are not lit up. I'm impressed with the CPU and GPU temperatures.

Got everything hooked up and it wouldn't POST. As part of my troubleshooting research I found this video and, after watching it, decided to tear my build back down and redo it from scratch following the order suggested here. My profession is technical documentation and this is some of the finest work I've seen. Thank you Christopher Flannigan.

    • @Xanth1um
      @Xanth1um 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nolan Hansen it's best to work with gravity not against it. So having them down wouldn't shorten its life. Thus you can run into pump noise issues and/or air pockets in the radiator since the tubes are at the top instead of the bottom to help the pump with better flow.

    Great video. Thank you. I watched it all the way through and then returned a different case and bought the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB both because the data on cooling looked so good in all the review videos and because I had your video to use as a guide. ----- And you are SO right about the addressable RGB cable being tricky to connect. I bent the pins a bit and had to straighten them. I then got really close by taking my glasses off and angled the cable side enough to actually see the 5v pin go in the hole; that helped me line it up enough to feel more confident pushing harder. The problem is that there is space on the cable for the pin to advance when you are NOT lined up correctly--that fooled me into the bending error.
