Geek Squad is very hit-and-miss when it comes to diagnosing hardware issues. The whole reason I got into building PCs is that Geek Squad was unable to fix my machine the last time I used their services so I just learned how to do it myself.
Lots of pc places suck at fixing pcs. Brought my pc into local tech place and told them I was getting random crashes after about an hour of gaming. I asked them to test bench my parts. Instead the ran a gpu and cpu stress test and said my pc was fine there was nothing wrong with it. I had a new kit of ram and decided to try switching that out (don't have a 2nd pc so can't test bench my stuff) ram was the problem. It was crashing after I got it back from the pc repair. Switched ram and no more crashes. Kind of a waste of money. I'm building a 2nd pc right now. So if I ever have problems in the future atleast I have a 2nd working pc to test parts.
Before I really knew how easy it is to "build" your own pc I thought that you had to build each individual component and I was always so overwhelmed by the thought.. now that I know how easy it is I feel like it should be called assembling your PC not building it lol
Don't ever buy a pre-built pc unless it comes with customization out of the box. Either that or get a pc store to assemble one for you if you don't know how.
you see, this is why I hate prebuilts. idk if it was ACTUALLY glued or it just seemed like it when it was just a display unit with dried out thermal paste that wouldnt release, but I'd rather just pick my own parts and build my own PC, it's cheaper, and I know it's done right. Most modern desktops are like a high tech lego build that uses screws and actually does something when it's finished. I absolutely love to see people getting into the PCMR because, tbh, it's the best option. Consoles are an okay option simply because for Playstation and Xbox you need to pay for an extra subscription with either Sony or Microsoft to be able to use the online functionality of a game, whereas on PC it just works. Plus on PC you don't have to worry about what works and what doesn't, because most games are already supported on windows, and thanks to Valves work on Proton, we have an actually good option for gaming on linux as long as anti-cheat doesn't deliberately break stuff (looking at you and Byfron, Roblox).
My first desktop pc was a prebuilt from Acer, it had a GTX 1650 and I tried to upgrade it to an RTX 3050 but the power supply didn’t have enough power so I tried to buy a new one but the motherboard had a 6 pin connector for the power not a 24 pin so I just ended up building a whole new pc
It does exist, Its called a Thermal Adhesive Tape. Its also double sided so this company used thermal tape to adhere a CPU cooler to a part. Its quite scummy practice.
So 3-5 years ago got a PC for Christmas. 1060 and i5-5700 Intel CPU. when the crypto pieces dropped drastically a little while ago I bought an 1070 to upgrade. Could have done 1080 to but my PC has rivits holding everything in, and big mounts for the DVD drive. Small case, had to take tin snips and cut out the holders for the disk drive just to make the card fit in the case. I hate prebuilds for the fact they are just trying to do what every other tech company does, nad not allowing us the right to repair. But luckily they aren't dominating the market and we still fight back.
I started with a pre-built but before I even settled on it I made sure everything was removable. 6 years later, at this point the only thing that remains of the old prebuilt is the case. Everything else I've slotted in myself~ Just recently upgraded to a ryzen 7 cpu from my previous 3, and installed some more fans. I call it 'Frankenstein'.
If you get a prebuilt at least get “IBuyPower”. They give you a good motherboard, power supply, and case. The only thing they cheap out on is the Ram, cpu, and gpu. But that’s fine because you should put your own gpu, cpu, ram anyways
I’ve been told if someone at geek squad in the back room says I don’t want to work on this They all just say they don’t know how to fix it Even when they might know how
Proprietary sucks. Ever since some makers made their power supply’s that if you went aftermarket you’d fry the MB due to a convoluted molex connector back a few years ago. Maybe still. Personal builds are always preferred.
Never Ever buy a pre-built! i didn't know nothing about PCs but i made the decision to buy separate parts and build it myself with the help of reddit and build videos on youtube. it doesn't look as shiny and tidy but it works like a charm.
Just bought my first pc two days ago and patiently waiting for it but the next one I’m gonna build it myself…seems fun and bringing something to life would be a kick‼️
IDK why any reasonably handy person wouldn't build their own PC nowadays. Cases, motherboards and other components are _much_ easier to put together nowadays as compared to 20-25 years ago when I started.
I have to disagree here. I bought my HP gaming pc thru Walmart on a Black Friday sale back in 2018. 1000$ pc for 400$ and out of the box I upgraded the 16gb of ram to 32. till this day has given me no issues. I’ll clean it out yearly and did look into it’s details to see I can still upgrade it today if I wanted to. Granted can only go up to a i7 from an i5 and of course graphics card but I’ve always thought it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I think it just depends the company you’re buying your prebuilt through.
@@thatguy9111you’re talking to kids on the internet , no need to explain yourself 😂 Pre builds are fine , not everyone is handy or tech savy . just want to plug in and play 🤙
now i know why some people like to build their own pc but it comes with a price to pay that if something breaks you have to pay for it prebuild pc when something breaks the company pays for it
I wouldn’t say I had fun the whole time building my first PC. Figuring things out when you deviate from the guide feels like a fun puzzle but overall it was stressful as fuck. Would only recommend to very few people that I know. Most people (that I know) would probably be satisfied with a pre-built from a reputable company (that doesn’t glue the gpu what sacks of shit they are for doing that)
If my PC would come with glued CPU it would be immediately returned free of charge for being faulty i.e. glue on your motherboard or any other part where it not suppose to be is fault and you should not be paying anything to ship it back etc. So you not returning it because you changer your mind or something, but because it is faulty... and obviously depends on the state or country you are in, but most countries and states have some sort of consumer laws that protects you if you buy faulty product.
how would they know there was glue on it til say 2 years later when it overheats and fails. You wouldn't. Which now is time you miss for return. So now you have to get a lawyer and hope you get your 1,500 bucks back.
You guys got me to build my own pc. It was so fun! Do plan a lot though, I meant to only upgrade my graphics card but ended up building a new pc😂. All of my parts didn’t go together. The only parts I didn’t replace was the RAM CPU and SSD.
I agree building yourself is super easy as long as you don’t start out with the most complicated custom water cooling setup … and even that would be doable with proper research.
I tried building my own PC . It's an exercise in frustration at best and components damaging hazard at worst. Nothing fun about it. You'd have to be a mazohist to enjoy it. But hey,to each his own I guess.
I'm so confused about the gpu replacement. The whole short talks about the cpu overheating. Also I have to wonder if the heat from the overheating cpu would eventually melt the glue? Or if it's possible to melt the glue with heat and solvent without causing any further damage?
They do (did) it until they get called out and lose money. The market for people who can't build, or simply don't have the time, is getting bigger, not smaller. So don't glue shit. Treat your customers right and you'll be fine
That’s bad Business practice. Even if I wanted to keep the computer for years without upgrading. It would still need to be serviced. By reapplying thermal paste.
overheating CPU so you change the GPU? Nail polish can remove the glue but it can be pretty harsh not sure what it would do to a PCB should try that one day but maybe a sonic cleaner can release the CPU,
As a gamer, buying a prebuilt is an absolute waste of money. Your paying for overpriced parts, sometimes things arent built right, your paying for labor, and now this. Im pretty sure a 6 year old could build a pc nowadays, everything has gotten so simple. You basically play a game called "match the plug with the connector" lol i mean the cursed f panel is even starting to get phased out
Yes it is simple to put it together. But what happens when it doesn't post. Do you know why it didn't post. Do you know how to check bios to make sure it first boot is right. Do you know how to install windows from a flash drive and how to get windows to the flash drive. Do you know how to flash over drivers for updates to wifi drives to start pc updates. Do you know how to fix other issues of more high end components not being in sync for argb. This is why people just want prebuilts made. There is time and effort that goes into making a pc and some people either don't have the time, don't want to use their time, or just don't have the ability in general to build a pc. I bought a prebuilt before. No issues for me. Cost me as much it it would of cost me to build it myself. So I didn't see the issue. The parts if I sourced them myself would of costed me like 50 bucks cheaper then what is in the prebuilt. Yet I didn't have to do any of the work and just plug and play. So I'll spend a extra 50 bucks all day. To not have to do 1-4 hours of work and plus part sourcing which adds another 1-4 hours if not more.
@fighterpimp iv never had a pc that didn't post. The appeal to building your own pc is its "yours". You can customize it yourself. There is appeal to buying a rebuilt but I'll tell you from personal experience building is way more fun than just pulling it out of the box and then tada, pc. Downloading software literally takes 20 minutes. Windows install is the easiest part. 9 times out of 10 if the pc didn't post, there's either a loose connector or the power supply isn't turned on or f panel, which isn't even a big deal anymore because it's all one plug in some pc towers. Don't get me wrong buying a rebuilt was probably in your best interest because of whatever factors but there's definitely an appeal to building a pc and it's not that hard to diagnose problems. If it doesn't turn on at all its either psu or f panel. Once it turns on install windows, it takes 20 minutes. Once windows is installed, open the pc, download drivers which takes like 5 minutes each, then start downloading apps. If your an inclined builder that can take a person 3 hours to do literally all of that.
Why are you all so pressed about him testing the gpu to see if it was causing the customers any problems as well. Some scummy pre built pc sites use little thermal paste on those and glue them together so those break as well.
My first real pc was a pre built. It got a better gpu and powersupply first and when I wanted to change cpu I had to replace the mobo so I just build a custom system myself from the ground up
Twist it like a jar and it’ll pop right off, I remember my cpu fan got stuck to the point I was lifting the entire pc from the cooler trying to rip it off, I twisted and it popped off immediately
Yep doubting your knowledge on pcs now. It most likely just dry thermal paste. Its recommended to let your pc run for a bit to heat it and allow you to remove easily.
Why people are actually just buying stuff without doing any research? Buying a pre-built PC is one of the stupidest things that a PC user can do especially if it's from companies that aren't specialised at PC stuff
A cpu cooler has screws. If it’s screwed in properly then it shouldn’t break when the pc is dropped. But a pc shouldn’t even be dropped in the first place
Wow that company is using disgusting tactics. Just build your own pc. Most of building your own pc is plug and play. If you have any trouble TH-cam it. There are millions of videos showing you what goes where and why. Also don’t forget to check if all the things you buy for your computer are compatible with each other. Made that mistake once 😉
Wow, I don't know about the laws in your country but in Sweden I would just have gotten back to the seller and gotten a new computer. Or maybe they'll swap out the motherboard for free. There is probably glue on the cpu die itself..
First I bought custem pc after that I realized It's over price and some of parts so old than I returned it to order pc parts than I build my first pc it's take 15 hours to build I got so stressed but it's worth it!
Yeah I don't tell my friends and brothers to let me build their pc because I want them to belong to some elite squad, I just really like building building pc's and they like watching it be built.

Windows install is the easiest part. 9 times out of 10 if the pc didn't post, there's either a loose connector or the power supply isn't turned on or f panel, which isn't even a big deal anymore because it's all one plug in some pc towers. Don't get me wrong buying a rebuilt was probably in your best interest because of whatever factors but there's definitely an appeal to building a pc and it's not that hard to diagnose problems. If it doesn't turn on at all its either psu or f panel. Once it turns on install windows, it takes 20 minutes. Once windows is installed, open the pc, download drivers which takes like 5 minutes each, then start downloading apps. If your an inclined builder that can take a person 3 hours to do literally all of that.
Why are you all so pressed about him testing the gpu to see if it was causing the customers any problems as well. Some scummy pre built pc sites use little thermal paste on those and glue them together so those break as well.
My first real pc was a pre built. It got a better gpu and powersupply first and when I wanted to change cpu I had to replace the mobo so I just build a custom system myself from the ground up
Twist it like a jar and it’ll pop right off, I remember my cpu fan got stuck to the point I was lifting the entire pc from the cooler trying to rip it off, I twisted and it popped off immediately
Surprised you didn't just give em a full refund in every other video you do
Omens good they offer instructions on how and if you call them you get step by step instructions on how to remove and install new parts
"Bought a PC" this is the problem
That is outright horrible
Id straight up sue the company that glued a cpu cooler to the cpu
Best buy did the exact same with my rx 580 I bought from exact store..geek squad didn't want to fix it 😤
That's it?!?
you just left us hanging like that? you could cut the glue off
I started pc on pre build just glad it was Ibuypower bc I was able to upgrade it to a beauty
In my book glueing a cpu cooler to the motherboard is a death sentence.
Thank u so much for these vids
Yep doubting your knowledge on pcs now. It most likely just dry thermal paste. Its recommended to let your pc run for a bit to heat it and allow you to remove easily.
Makes me scared I can’t upgrade my cyberpower pc😅😂
I want to built one for me for personal use and little gaming
Glued on CPU cooler? Wow that's a new one.
It's not glued, the thermal paste is dry. Apply heat, apply alcohol, Twist it.
who glues the cpu cooler on the cpu 💀
It's called thermal paste smh
You fixed his pc thx mate hearing that triggered me like so hard
Meanwhile Laptop users *100°c is fine💀*
Why people are actually just buying stuff without doing any research? Buying a pre-built PC is one of the stupidest things that a PC user can do especially if it's from companies that aren't specialised at PC stuff
Never seen a glued CPU cooler. My guess is they did it for drop protection not to keep you from upgrading.
A cpu cooler has screws. If it’s screwed in properly then it shouldn’t break when the pc is dropped. But a pc shouldn’t even be dropped in the first place
Me: ight **takes heat gun**
Soon as I saw the msi aio on it I knew what the problem was already
Nobody glues heatsinks down to CPU's. These guys are clowns.
Glue it on did I hear that right that’s really sketchy practice any company doing that wouldn’t get my money that’s for sure
Warranty isn’t a thing everywhere.
?
Wow that company is using disgusting tactics. Just build your own pc. Most of building your own pc is plug and play. If you have any trouble TH-cam it. There are millions of videos showing you what goes where and why.
Also don’t forget to check if all the things you buy for your computer are compatible with each other. Made that mistake once 😉
Wow, I don't know about the laws in your country but in Sweden I would just have gotten back to the seller and gotten a new computer. Or maybe they'll swap out the motherboard for free. There is probably glue on the cpu die itself..
First I bought custem pc after that I realized It's over price and some of parts so old than I returned it to order pc parts than I build my first pc it's take 15 hours to build I got so stressed but it's worth it!
Yeah I don't tell my friends and brothers to let me build their pc because I want them to belong to some elite squad, I just really like building building pc's and they like watching it be built.
