Okay to be fair most prebuilts have crappy power supplies, I had an HP Prebuilt with an RX 480 and only a 300w PSU. And most prebuilts have crappy airflow as well
Junfeng Chen no not really my friend asked me what would be a good PC and I told him I’d build him one because it’s the best value but he didn’t trust me and bought an HP prebuilt... I checked it out and told him it was good but in reality it was literally one of the worst gaming prebuilts ever. Just build a PC
The worst part is a lot of what he did was wrong but almost everything he said was wrong. If he just shut up, or dubbed in narration later, it wouldn't have been nearly as bad. Some of the mistakes he made were fine, like not installing the cpu until the mobo was installed, but the verbal diarrhea of blatantly wrong information is why he got, and deserved to get, roasted so bad.

As a future pc builder (building my first Gaming PC sometime this November) I am happy to see that the bar can go so, so very low. Takes a bit of the pressure off 😁
As someone who has built his own PC for the last 15 plus years it is really easy and very simple hard part is trouble shooting defective parts If you have never done that before check out Jayz2cents for a good guide on how to build. I also build most of my pc outside the case then transfer it to the case once finished gives me more room and less cramped when setting the GPU and other parts.

@@SuperDud3ed I've never heard anyone call a power supply that goes inside a computer a brick, only the power adaptors that convert AC to DC for laptops and consoles and such. There is a huge difference between a power adaptor "brick" and a power supply. Calling them a brick is more of a slang term though so, it isn't well defined and gets the points across so yeah it doesn't matter.
On his twitter his response was 'If people cared as much about toxic gamer communities as they do about thermal paste..." . How the Verge which is usually good content hasn't fired this guy off of his bad past work and blaming reactions on toxicity and racism, I don't know. I reported this as being false and misleading video because it is way to dangerous to have a reputable name like The Verge and this as a guide on how to build.
*crash my car into a schoolbus* "wow if only the people criticizing my driving cared this much about hunger in Africa" holy shit you can literally bring up any subject that is worse than the mistakes you do in life and excuse yourself from your fuck ups no matter how bad
Man, I would not be surprised if the verge did this on purpose just to call everyone who disagree with them toxic and racist. Just as I say on another video about the same isue, they and other websites are known for making sjw content and having extreme sjw views. Just the fact that they did not take the video down, even knowing that it have a lot of mistakes and that they disable comments and like ratio, plus the guy's reply about toxic gamers proves that there is an interest in them to play the victim card. As I said on that other tech channel that was also trolling them: Don't get surprised if they accuse the tech tubers of being racist and bullies and claim something like: "all criticism against them is hate spech made by an angry mob, bots or gamer gate.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WolvenSpectre He originally stated it backwards as well, guess he fixed it because I swear the tweet I saw said "if people cared as much about thermal paste as they do toxic gaming communities" Naturally a couple noticed right away he had his attempted jab assbackwards and corrected him.
It might seem like this guy is going harsh on him, but he really isn't. That video needs to be called out. It's not good for a channel that big to be spreading that horrible of information. Imagine if someone was trying to learn how to build a computer and used that video as a reference, they would be fucked.
@@plumbob109 in my opinion... this one is either a preference thing or depends on your set of components.. for an AIO Watercooler i prefer to do everything in the case. (If it is possible) besides that.. EVERYTHING IN THIS GUYS VIDEO WAS HORRIBLE... A pain in the ass to watch. I mean how...how wtf..
Your absolutely right. I’m getting into my first build soon but before I buy anything I’m looking at a lot of mistakes people make and I’m glad I found this video before the other one lmao
"I can't even make fun of this guy anymore." The strongest line I've heard in this video IMO. I've been rewatching this video lately just for this line.
Yeah haha what a moron. Not even mentioning HOW he applied it. Even a new pc builder with little to no experience but with common sense wouldn't make these mistakes lmao
"now unfortunately, it looks like this CPU just didn't make it and that's a shame, but it happens sometimes, it's just a risk you're taking when you open up a CPU" when he smeared liquid metal all over it
I am not going to lie. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. Your call out on his LoL play in the middle of this react watch was hilarious! Just for that I have subscribed.
The Verge HR - "We need some diversity in our videos" Manager - "Get it done" Video Project leader - "Well, we know about 1 black guy, but he is a car mechanical engineer and knows nothing about computers" Manager - "Did I hear "engineer"? What are you waiting for, make him do it"
@Illidan Stormrage I think nobody can be intelligent and honest and racist at the same time. These 3 don't add up. Swap racism for flat earth and the equation breaks for the same reason. 200 000 years ago (roughly) we split off from the neanderthal and other relatives and we are part of the gene pool of the earth, 98% dna similar to chimps, if we will draw a line about some fractions of percentiles of melanin in each other's skin, we are mad crazy, like depending on specificity, there are 7.5 billion individual "races" by DNA.
The real thing about this video is The Verge shut it down, and blamed it on toxic gaming communities. When in fact, they wouldn't admit to instructing people on how to build a sitting fire hazard in their home...
That anyone even follows then and believe what they say, same goes for Buzzfeed, actually terrifies me, because it proves how many people are so incredibly ignorant and stupid. And these people are loyal sheep and will attack anyone who goes against them... It's scary, especially when the internet ignorant media takes them seriously and attack innocent internet profiles.
This video was made exclusively to make money with no care given about the people that will be scammed by it, no care at all about spreading misinformation and potentially ruining peoples first building experience. Absolutely toxic.
Now I live in constant fear of my power supply coming into contact with the case of my computer, shorting out and electrocuting me through the USB cable on my keyboard. What other hidden terrors lie inside my PC?!?! Help me, The Verge!
Man, he built a worse computer than Lyle from Bitwit did... But seriously.. you cant blame this guy totally! they must of ask around the office if someone wanted to build a pc on youtube and handed him a script to read. what i want to know is why no on did any research on this... damn, the instruction booklet that came with motherboard has better advice than this video.
It must be, I mean, If I remember correctly, Corsair did have a case that require the use of an alan key to open its side glass panel so the one writing the script must have thought that the alan key is a required tool for Corsair's, if not all, cases.
Sadly a lot of people actually believe that a rubber band functions as an anti static bracelet. Or the ones that believe that wireless anti static bracelets work. xD
Please stop talking shit, that is not how the current works. First of all the bracelet is not connected to the ground so it won't protect you from a potential discharge. Second of all the only discharge that coud happened is form the cappacitors in your power source(that you don't have access to) but that won't kill you because the discharge of current it's for a verry short period of time. The only danger in this building pc video is his own stupidity. Thinking that a piece of rubber on your arm will save your live is just mind blowing!
@DG_Lucifer I mean yes, obviously you can do it. But if you show this method in a tutorial video, you're just straight stupid. He even installed the GPU before the CPU. He installed every component in the wrong order in terms of easiness.
Well, at least there was one good thing that came from this video from Verge. I found you and subbed. Looking forward to more. Did nobody else hear him call the zip ties tweezers?
true, his video was the second about this verge video i saw, but he is more focused than the other guy, and is really explaining, not just shiting on the guy, and i just subbed before even checking the rest of the videos
Stefan: ...A swiss army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver on it Stefan again: *uses a screwdriver instead* A swiss army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver on it: Am I a joke to you?!
Actually if you look closely, he didn't even insert the 1080 in the pcie slot properly, the card went above the slot lol :D So I guess he had to use the integrated intel graphics as his 1080 wasnt working, and only LoL would run smooth enough for the vid on the intel graphics :D
Just a few things ya missed 1) Not only was thermal paste puked onto the CPU, but the pre-installed thermal paste on the water cooler was never removed. 2) He forced the longer radiator screws (the ones you use to go reach the rad through a fan) *through* the radiator. 3) He installed the PSU backwards so that the fan has no way of pulling sufficient air. Additionally, they later posted a picture of the "finished" "build" from another angle. While it also revealed even worse cable management, you could also see that the CPU cooler bracket is missing a screw.
Im surprised the guy didnt advise us to download more RAM
download some more graphics card fans
lmao
Download a pc
Download a keyboard and mouse
HAHAHA I actually searched that up before building my first years ago. I'll never forget searching for "upgrade ram download" and "unlock more ram program" on Yahoo when Yahoo was a thing cx

As a future pc builder (building my first Gaming PC sometime this November) I am happy to see that the bar can go so, so very low. Takes a bit of the pressure off 😁
Vlad Fifty-Two I am sure you’ll do great my dude, the upgrade and experience is worth it
As someone who has built his own PC for the last 15 plus years it is really easy and very simple hard part is trouble shooting defective parts If you have never done that before check out Jayz2cents for a good guide on how to build. I also build most of my pc outside the case then transfer it to the case once finished gives me more room and less cramped when setting the GPU and other parts.
Andy Ortiz Wow, that’s a lot of experience mate. thanks, I’ll check Jay out.

i mean i call the xbox power supply a brick just cause it metaphorically weights the same so maybe thats why he uses that
Power Supply = high voltage case
I've heard it be called a power brick.
@@SuperDud3ed I've never heard anyone call a power supply that goes inside a computer a brick, only the power adaptors that convert AC to DC for laptops and consoles and such. There is a huge difference between a power adaptor "brick" and a power supply. Calling them a brick is more of a slang term though so, it isn't well defined and gets the points across so yeah it doesn't matter.

On his twitter his response was 'If people cared as much about toxic gamer communities as they do about thermal paste..." . How the Verge which is usually good content hasn't fired this guy off of his bad past work and blaming reactions on toxicity and racism, I don't know. I reported this as being false and misleading video because it is way to dangerous to have a reputable name like The Verge and this as a guide on how to build.
I can see were he's coming from but If you don't realize the internet is toxic you shouldn't be on it
*crash my car into a schoolbus* "wow if only the people criticizing my driving cared this much about hunger in Africa" holy shit you can literally bring up any subject that is worse than the mistakes you do in life and excuse yourself from your fuck ups no matter how bad
Man, I would not be surprised if the verge did this on purpose just to call everyone who disagree with them toxic and racist. Just as I say on another video about the same isue, they and other websites are known for making sjw content and having extreme sjw views. Just the fact that they did not take the video down, even knowing that it have a lot of mistakes and that they disable comments and like ratio, plus the guy's reply about toxic gamers proves that there is an interest in them to play the victim card.
As I said on that other tech channel that was also trolling them: Don't get surprised if they accuse the tech tubers of being racist and bullies and claim something like: "all criticism against them is hate spech made by an angry mob, bots or gamer gate.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FrostWind probably a diversity hire they are using to play off any of his mistakes as "racism"
WolvenSpectre He originally stated it backwards as well, guess he fixed it because I swear the tweet I saw said "if people cared as much about thermal paste as they do toxic gaming communities"
Naturally a couple noticed right away he had his attempted jab assbackwards and corrected him.

Your absolutely right. I’m getting into my first build soon but before I buy anything I’m looking at a lot of mistakes people make and I’m glad I found this video before the other one lmao
The best thing is he claimed it was racial motivated. I dont care about color if you can or can not build a computer.

@Illidan Stormrage I think nobody can be intelligent and honest and racist at the same time. These 3 don't add up. Swap racism for flat earth and the equation breaks for the same reason. 200 000 years ago (roughly) we split off from the neanderthal and other relatives and we are part of the gene pool of the earth, 98% dna similar to chimps, if we will draw a line about some fractions of percentiles of melanin in each other's skin, we are mad crazy, like depending on specificity, there are 7.5 billion individual "races" by DNA.

The real thing about this video is The Verge shut it down, and blamed it on toxic gaming communities. When in fact, they wouldn't admit to instructing people on how to build a sitting fire hazard in their home...
That anyone even follows then and believe what they say, same goes for Buzzfeed, actually terrifies me, because it proves how many people are so incredibly ignorant and stupid.
And these people are loyal sheep and will attack anyone who goes against them... It's scary, especially when the internet ignorant media takes them seriously and attack innocent internet profiles.

Man, he built a worse computer than Lyle from Bitwit did... But seriously.. you cant blame this guy totally! they must of ask around the office if someone wanted to build a pc on youtube and handed him a script to read. what i want to know is why no on did any research on this... damn, the instruction booklet that came with motherboard has better advice than this video.
Well lyle reviewed this video as well xD
It must be, I mean, If I remember correctly, Corsair did have a case that require the use of an alan key to open its side glass panel so the one writing the script must have thought that the alan key is a required tool for Corsair's, if not all, cases.
Corsair Carbide 275r requires an allen key, yeah. Literally the only time I've needed one though.

Where is an anti-static bracelet? I see a rubber band!
"That's not anti-static wriststrap that's a livestrong bracelet!
You not fighting static you fighting cancer!" - Lyle 2018
It prevents the static discharge feedback loop phenomenon. It can be fatal. Unplugged computer parts kill millions each year. Safety first.
Sadly a lot of people actually believe that a rubber band functions as an anti static bracelet. Or the ones that believe that wireless anti static bracelets work. xD
@@57F.K that's because there are a lot of stupid people (and they think they are smart) that is so creazy. It is just physics!
Please stop talking shit, that is not how the current works. First of all the bracelet is not connected to the ground so it won't protect you from a potential discharge. Second of all the only discharge that coud happened is form the cappacitors in your power source(that you don't have access to) but that won't kill you because the discharge of current it's for a verry short period of time. The only danger in this building pc video is his own stupidity. Thinking that a piece of rubber on your arm will save your live is just mind blowing!

At least it wasn’t his biggest mistake, don’t give me wrong.
@DG_Lucifer I mean yes, obviously you can do it. But if you show this method in a tutorial video, you're just straight stupid. He even installed the GPU before the CPU. He installed every component in the wrong order in terms of easiness.
Well, at least there was one good thing that came from this video from Verge. I found you and subbed. Looking forward to more. Did nobody else hear him call the zip ties tweezers?
Same, dude. Found KristoferYee because he autoplayed after another TH-camr tearing this Verge video a new one.
Yeah, I didn't even have it on auto. I just saw his video and wanted to see another opinion. Reaction to the Paste was hilarious.
I believe that was the beginning of his numerous instances of incorrect terminology.
true, his video was the second about this verge video i saw, but he is more focused than the other guy, and is really explaining, not just shiting on the guy, and i just subbed before even checking the rest of the videos

1080 gpu for LoL.....HAHAHA
Actually if you look closely, he didn't even insert the 1080 in the pcie slot properly, the card went above the slot lol :D So I guess he had to use the integrated intel graphics as his 1080 wasnt working, and only LoL would run smooth enough for the vid on the intel graphics :D
Maybe he is to silly to download bigger games
That makes me. . . Lol
I’ll show myself out
@@Adrian-dh1dl silly? no, he just doesn't know how.
I love his gradual rise from tired to fully-awake as the video went on
Just a few things ya missed
1) Not only was thermal paste puked onto the CPU, but the pre-installed thermal paste on the water cooler was never removed.
2) He forced the longer radiator screws (the ones you use to go reach the rad through a fan) *through* the radiator.
3) He installed the PSU backwards so that the fan has no way of pulling sufficient air.
Additionally, they later posted a picture of the "finished" "build" from another angle. While it also revealed even worse cable management, you could also see that the CPU cooler bracket is missing a screw.
So what your saying is that this man made an average PC with 2000 dollars up his ass.
The PC he made wasn't even average, it was below horrendous.
I knew more and was better with computers when I was 10 years old!
he also didnt buy any items in his league game massive kek

That is probably true, but seeing as how I've taken a couple of art classes in college, I probably would have thought of it anyways.
