A very minor recommendation for DDR5 builders is that I wouldn't enable xmp UNTIL Windows is properly installed. It isn't a big issue with DDR4 but I've seen some instability with DDR5 even if the kit is rated at that speed on their website. It can be even more finicky if you're populating all 4 dim slots on your board. It is technically still an "overclock" at the end of the day and you'd want to remove any potential reasons that could cause hiccups during the installation process.
Good tips just seen this on another channel
Nope not for me if i can't run xmp during windows installation means it ant gunna work properly then ull have to dial down speeds to see where its stable
If u cannot install Windows with xmp enabled u have a issue with ur ram and i would rather know during the installation process then getting into Windows and its lockes up while doijg stuff trust me ive been there ive had corrupted data from a pc locking up while moving data it ant pretty ive lost it all
@@michaelpearson9wut
100% agree with this.
Being a first time builder of a gaming/streaming/video editing pc this was incredibly useful! 🎉 I have to slow it down a bit to keep up but this was incredibly helpful. Much love my friend and keep up the great videos. ❤
What's your specifications?
Note, don't use 4x8gb, use 2x 16gb for ram
That is so true
Nah 2x 32gb
I use 2x 8gb is that good or bad? 😬
Why not 4x8 ?
@@NosyNorseman xmp profiles will have issues you might not be able to set ram speed to its rated and would need to set it lower
Your videos have been instrumental in me configuring my new pc. Thank you! It'll be time to buy everything soon. Prices are getting lower every day!
ah finally, a good video for what to do after getting a new pc, just the put the cable on the gpu i never heard it before and on my there's protection on it so i couldn't see it. Thanks for this video!
just finished up my 1st PC build last night. Your videos were a huge part of every aspect of my build. Great job, keep it up bud!!
How did you get windows 11 did you use another windows computer or did you do it a different cause I can’t build my first pc cause I don’t have another windows computer to download windows 11 on
@@Michael12689sing usb flash and install from other PC or laptop and plugged in to download the drive
@@Michael12689 do you not have any access to any computers at all? Like maybe a friend? Parents? Or if you have a library near you.. just get a flash drive and install the Windows OS and you should be good to go. I’ve never seen anyone do it with a mobile device so I’m not really sure
@@gian.zagada702so do i need to buy license key after install window ?
How is it going
just finnished building my desktop. thanks for the nice video.
Thank you for that graphics card HDMI port tip. I was really worried for a bit lol.
Thank you so much, got it all set up today and you really helped me product my pc well subscribing and sharing this video! 🎉 :)
Thank you so much for explaining the window. I was so confuse about why my pc not working
I fucken love this guy. subscribed! Finally, a no horseshit tutorial and straight to the point. Appreciate you sharing the secrets by the way!
thanks for vid, starting my first built sunday
Great video helped me a lot i really apricated the programs to check how the computer is doing
I literally finished my build tonight. I just need my MnK and windows usb drive and I’m ready to start👍🏼 perfectly timed vid
Hi, I downloaded windows 11 newly onto a usb and my existing pc that I used before doesn’t work anymore and says I’m not signed in, do you have any idea on what happened?
@@solomon464You can only use the key on 1 computer at a time.
Thanks for the video! I've seen videos on updating Bios BEFORE install OS.
1) Is there an advantage to either updating Bios before or after installing the OS?
You recommend Enabling the XMP for the RAM, and installing the OS, before updating the Bios? Thanks!
2) (I'm also installing DDR5, and my Bios will not Enable XMP yet. I'm figuring the bios flash is needed. (Also, the below post advises putting in Windows BEFORE enabling XMP on RAM. I'd like your thoughts. Thanks!)
Exactly the video I was looking for, thanks
Best boot video I've seen. Currently building a computer so Ill revisit this video in time. Thanks!
I want to build a PC for my first time sometime soon, and I thought I might as well go over some videos beforehand so I have an idea of what to expect. This guy is great at helping
I don't have a full pc setup yet, but this video really helped me for when I actually get a full setup
Great vid, very informative. Most people don't think about this part after buying/building a pc lol
im confused on the hard drive like do u need a laptop or can you use the pc you built
Thank you , you help me a lot. Please, more videos on new hardware
This helped a lot, thanks!!
This video helped me a lot, thank you
Great timing for this video. My build will start when I get the Ryzen 7700x in this week. Question: I purchased the Peerless Assassin RGB cooler for my Ryzen 7700x. I also purchased 2 addition case fans, also Thermalright RGB. Can I daisy chain the 2 additional case fans with the CPU fans, and use the single CPU fan plug on the motherboard (ASUS B650E-F), or should I connect the 2 case fans to their own fan port? Thanks for a great video.
you absolutely can daisy chain into a single cpu fan plug, you just won't be able to control each of the fan speed individually (if for some reason u want to)
Ive gotten all kinds of advice on how to install Windows 11 on my new gaming PC from programers and network engineers but this was simple and streight forward from the first turn on to system monitoring. You cleared up a lot of my questions
windows 10 better ngl.

pray to wakanda@@solomon464
Thanks man it helped a lot!!
Thank you so much! Was overthinkn everything😂😂
Very detailed and helpful thanks
Great video, also i'd recommend two more things, one is going into the windows update settings and checking to see if there are any important security/ feature updates you need, and the other is uninstalling any bloatware apps you don't need like solitaire or onedrive
Isnt onedrive pretty useful?
Hi, I downloaded windows 11 newly onto a usb and my existing pc that I used before doesn’t work anymore and says I’m not signed in, do you have any idea on what happened?
Do you have a video of what to do for drivers when you upgrade or switch gpus/ brand
love your videos been helping me a lot with my recent PC build, me first one too! I cant get a display when I have my hdmi or displayport are connected to my 4070 ti but I can get display when connected to my motherboard.. any thoughts on what i could do? (i've tried reconnecting my gpu to motherboard)
What did you find out
thanks so much me and my dad built a pc and we didint have a clue what to do next thanks
Just built my first PC last night and I thought everything was setup correctly but there was no display, the pc turned on and the fans were spinning, RGB ram was lit up but the only thing I didint do was connect the mouse and key board as I didint think I’d need to press delete button a bunch of times, gonna try later tonight and hopefully that’s all it needs 😅 if so your a life saver as I’ve watched many other videos on why it won’t display and nobody mentioned you might have to press delete button a bunch of times.
How did it go!
How did you fix it, I got the same issue
@@Ferzhq I had to loosen the graphics card screws as it was hanging too low to plug the HDMI cable in, the cable wasn’t sitting in all the way
This is very helpful
simple, PERFECT.
Thank you Magic Man
one other thing to mention is to uncap the refresh rate in the settings if your moniter is above 60 hertz
Gonna power up my build for the first time. Very helpful information and will come in handy.
Great job mate.
Thx really helpful
Gonna come back to this video next week when my Pc arrives
Good stuff. Had to bypass the internet set up to update lan drivers so it would connect finally
How did you by pass the internet part when installing windows , I’m stuck here I think I will have to download them on another pc to a usb
If you are moving your SSD from your old desktop to your new gaming system, do you need to reinstall Windows or it should detect the new hardware?
Great video, but I personally had the problem that turning on the XMP profile for the ram before even installing windows completely messed up the bios and it started to freeze and windows installation went into a direct blue screen, also changing back didn't save. Resetting the bios and leaving the ram on lower MHz for now fixed the problem. Found this to be the reason since several people on the Internet experienced that before.
THANK YOU. MY GOD THANK YOU. My windows 11 installation kept crashing again, and again, and again, and I couldn't find the damn reason why. Did what you said and it worked. FInally, THANK YOU
@@alexya818 Great to hear. Glad this could help.
@@-Sangral- did you manage to turn on the XMP in the end? Cause when I do it now Windows won't boot. I'll try updating the BIOS, but I'm afraid it won't fix it
@@alexya818 Yes I did, XMP on and there is a selection somewhere for the DRAM frequency I set that to auto and this worked.
Does windows start without the XMP settings?
@@-Sangral- yeap and the benchmarks shows no problems at all, it does says the RAMs aren't performing at their best ofc
I have to set up mine I hope it goes this smooth
Is there any website you know of that people sell popular gaming items without an insane mark up? Really trying to get the nzxt h9 flow or the o11 dynamic evo, but they are always sold out
OMG!!! THANK YOU!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Should I bupdate my MBs BIOS first before installing windows? Haven't built in over a decade, I can't even remember what I did before. Lol. I know I have a Microsoft account and windows 10 from my old PC, just not sure
Thanks for all the help I was planning to build a pc myself based on one of your past videos and you have been really helpful especially since it’s my first time.
I just built one. Doing windows and stuff now. It’s really not that hard!
@@Yeroccoi need to ask for first timer here , does i need to install driver for my gpu ( mine is asus tuf 3080 ) and how/where to download/upload my gpu driver?
@@lovecramperdrumpinthejoker5237 you’ll just go to your manufacturer’s website for your processor, gpu, and motherboard. The downloads are under support. You’ll download them, install them, restart your pc, and that’s pretty much it after you’ve assembled your pc. If you get stuck, reach out. My knowledge is limited but I built mine on my own so I know a little lol.
@@lovecramperdrumpinthejoker5237 btw, that’s a serious gpu lol. I was blown away with the 6700xt performance for half the price.
So do I have to buy windows or do I just download for free from a different computer?
Great content, definitely could have used this before my build, great information 🪛
Everyone makes it look ljke rocketscience bht he makes it soo simple tysm my friend u hage well earned a sub and like
Im planning to switch to a 5700x, from an i5 9400f. Anything ryzen specific id need to set up or enable/disable? Gigabyte mobo
Can I use a USB portable hard drive for the BIOS update and driver installs instead of a flash drive?
I just watch it not for the know how but to give a Like and comment. Lil bit of me wanting to know how it is with Windows 11
any pc builds with intel arc cards? would like to see that.
Never enable full speed of the ram until you update the bios you always want a stable bios running until everything is up to date to avoid crashing
Even with ddr4 ?
@@wisemanoncesaid5127 yes i’d recommend you enable full ram speed after you’ve finished installation of drivers and bios for the motherboard
If u can't install Windows while xmp is enabled then u have a issue I've done plenty and all fine
Made this mistake today 😅
@@yukhziawould i need to reset and reinstall windows again if I did this mistake? My game keeps crashing even with cpu and gpu temps down. My ram isnt faulty and I run a dual monitor set up 😢
Such a Nice video thanks
I live this guys vids and I don't mind the zed instead of z, but the "haych" instead of H kills me lol😂😂
Appreciate it 🎉❤
Did you have windows 10 home preinstalled before upgrading to windows 11
What to do when windows installs a new Radeon driver while setting up windows and your screen goes black?
you can actually use a usb 2 thumb drive as well doesn't have to be usb 3
If I don’t already have windows 11 should I buy the windows 11 usb stick from Microsoft
this guy is the more passion more footwork more energy guy
How long should you have to hit the delete key for?
I am confuses so I have a RM750x PSU and a Rog Strix B660-A motherbored all the cable connect but the CPU one good on the CPU end but now the motherbored end??? plz help ; )
Question I have the Msi b650 gaming plus WiFi and there is no xmp setting anywhere in the bios trust me I checked everywhere and no xmp but there is an expo setting is that the same thing or not?
very good video !!! 🎉
I built my pc today thanks
I followed this step by step but when I went to boot up windows 11 my screen goes light blue with no text. Stays like this for awhile then my pc shuts off any solutions?
I’m brand new to pc and was curious if I should install some type of antivirus software like McAfee or Norton in addition to all this stuff?
No. McAfee and Norton are crappy programs. If it says anything, before John McAfee (creator of the McAfee antivirus software) died, he said he hated his own software.....
Windows has a built-in antivirus called Microsoft Defender. For most use cases, its good enough. If you need something more robust and unobtrusive, I use ESET NOD32. As long as you're prudent with what you're downloading, you should be fine.
Thank you so much!!! Just finished building and setting up my PC with your videos!! W MAN
Thank you
i have been watching these videos for a while now but i was wondering is it better to build or buy a pc?
have you figured it out already?
I’m having issues on first start up, Ryzen 9 3900x B550f asus kraken 240mm aio, my cpu just overheats before I can even load windows into the pc, the aio is on but shows a different temp on the cooler header than in the bios? Any help would be great!!! 😢
Hi, I downloaded windows 11 newly onto a usb and my existing pc that I used before doesn’t work anymore and says I’m not signed in, do you have any idea on what happened?
I have a question for Asrock Z390 Taichi Bios. My current version is P4.30 I want to enable C.A.M but I need to install a beta bios, do you know if Beta bios are safe to use or no?. If anyone knows this please reply thank you.
I have the Lian Li Galahad Trinity AIO, the fans are spinning but the RGB isn’t working, I have tried the connector in so many different places, where am I going wrong dude?
I’ve heard not to enable xmp before installing your os because of stability issues
Hi I am looking for any recommendations for a Gaming PC build, my budget is anywhere between $1,500 - $2,500. (also just saying I won't complete the build for a couple of months as I need to save up my money lol)
What kind of computer is on the cover? Is there a video about the build?
hello can you help me out built new pc but i cant get buy the windows connecct to internet i have tried shift f10 but i cant type in the cmd box keyboard not responding how can i get it working and how can i update the drivers for the wiffi or lan off the msi website i have them but can you install them from the bios screen
What about updating the bios?
Good stuff bro !!!!
I just got a 1tb ssd I put it in my dell 780 sff but it says it has no OS so can I put maybe windows 10 pro or 11 pro on a 16gb flash drive can you please help me solve my problem
Yea putting it together is the easy part
where can i get hw monitor pro ? When i try to use the page cpuid it won’t load up the page for me
will any usb stick work or does it have to be usb 3.0 sticks to dwonload windows ?
As long as it has at least 8 GB of capacity, any USB drive will work. USB 3 may be a bit faster to install Windows, but likely won't make much of a difference between USB 2 and US 3.
Got it... Now I just need a pc
Do I have to download all drivers for my motherboard? Like is it recommended? Which are a "must download"? Kinda new to this
Ideally yes you want to download the current drivers to your motherboard since they are usually optimisation,bug fixes or compatible issues fixed
@@vsaucelover9660 I meant if I have to download all drivers from the motherboard page or can I leave out like Bluetooth for example?
amazing video
I always get Intel CPUs with built in graphics, I update windows, instal all the Nvidia programs and drivers and then I swap over to the GPU
I just bought a 4090 asus card and it does what i wanted it to do. 280+ stable fps in call of duty on medium high settings. I dont hear any coil whine like people say. Im not sure how they could hear it if it is in a case.
Is there an easy way to update drivers or do you have to update each one manually?
Windows Updates will download and install drivers for you. I still prefer downloading them from the manufacturer's page as Windows sometimes downloads outdated and/or buggy driver versions.
I would avoid most driver updater programs. Most of them are more interested in selling you bogus services and/or using scareware tactics to get you to use their premium service.
Don't we need to do bios update?
If not can u guyz please tell me what to do in step wise.
I am about to buy rtx 4070 with i5 13600k
guys if your stuck with bios you can also try use f2 f10 and f12
sometimes if you install windows on a PC connection, windows might not actually install a network driver
Is there any setting for m.2 nvme ssd that have to be changed before installing os??
Not usually. In some instances, if the motherboard has the drive controller set to RAID or IDE mode, the drive may not appear in the Windows installer. You will need to change it to AHCI mode.
Brilliant.
I love Edge
