Bad thermal paste application. Blocked the PSU fan. No fans in the CPU cooler. Terrible cable management that restricts air flow. This guy built a bomb.
And another thing; if they built a PC that was only 2 years old that couldn’t hold up for Battlefield 5, they must’ve built an extremely shitty PC back then. A PC should not be outdated after only 2 years.
I'm actually thankful for the Verge video. I'm new to PC building and all of the critique has been more helpful (and way more entertaining) than some of the tutorial videos.
Raphael I’ve got a Aorus 1080ti 11gb, I7 9900k @ 5GHz blah blah, the game he was playing was Arma 3 which is a hardcore military simulator and even I barely keep at ~60fps on 2k res :(
Computer will shut off before that happens and then leave you guessing what’s wrong. Made the same mistake myself, ironically in the same case that he’s using.
PC C0RN no, it was coincidentally the same one the Verge used. Just like the case, I might add. No I am not related to Stefan nor am I employed by the Verge.
"First you need a table" Nah im going to build mine in the bathtub while im taking a bath with a plugged in toaster. I should be fine since i have my "Bluetooth" Anti-static bracelet
S1D3winder017 when i built my first pc i built it on carpet, yeah i know terrible idea but i was a giant noob, it didn’t actually damage anything though and i’ve since sold the pc but as far as i know it’s still working to this day
I think we could make this point more theretical, you also need : air. And a person, preferably one that isn't dead. Wait, you also need a roof, because rain or wind won't be benefical either.
lol, 70 fps on arma, a game that can run on a 10 year old computer. and keep in mind that he was flying around in arma, so the game only has to fully render the plane, everything else is half rendered
I think I did it wrong guys. When am I suppose to use that allen wrench? How many tubes of thermal paste should I use? Can I just use a brick from my house?
For the hex key thing, I've used one because my case had pins that held the tempered glass in place that used a hex key but that was it and my roommate laughed when he saw me using it so I get that it is stupid but not too sure why
Cycle Coma that’s the reason he had it. It’s for the optional case screws that hold the glass in. Your better off using the more traditional screws that can be screwed in with your hand.
The irony is that the verge video is actually very helpful when you want to learn how to build a PC. Seeing what you should NOT do is half the process of learning anything.
It's true. I built my first PC around this time (still come back occasionally ... still hysterical) and these reaction videos were very helpful. I probably would've messed up the dimm slots had it not been for Stefan's masterpiece (who received WAY too much hate might I add. It was the Verge's fault, not his).
"We got to the POST screen." I call such bullshit on this. No way it POSTed on the first try. Given that they didn't show it, I bet anything that they had to troubleshoot something.
Installing the RAM, CPU and cooler before putting the motherboard inside the case is just way too easy. PRO builders like in this video enjoy the challenge of putting the CPU in LAST, with all the components already inside and cables dangling in the way. Bonus points if you cut up your hands on all the sharp edges and solder points in there. Allows you to show off the scars from your first PC build later.
Hi. Just to give you kuddos about this video reaction. Half the community is laughing at that video right now, but you took the time to actually explain in detail why things are wrong, and what you should be doing to install the component correctly. Great work.
I think the reason why half of the tech-tuber community is flat out ripping it a new one is two reasons 1)Majority of them put out parts and price guides and have done tutorial videos that have over 500K+ views. 2) the majority of the audience have more than 1 brain cell and actually understand that everything the guy did in some way could irreparably harm the components of the PC.
@Reversed Tech No, build on a surface that IS conductive! Non-conductive surfaces build STATIC charge, where conductive surfaces do not, if they are grounded. The whole point of anti-static is to provide conductivity (with a resistor to slow the current down some) so static charge does not build up and cause an ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) that causes damage. Maybe the verge will hire you...
3:29 Dont be fooled... this IS a real anti-static bracelet. It works via wifi through the bluetooth signal and hopefully protects your pc from static electricity with confidence!
How build a pc presteps: 1. Take your shoes on 2. Lock your door 3. Open your car and sit in the drivers seat 4. Drive to the nearest Ikea 5. Get out of the car 6. Lock your car 7. Walk in to the store 8. Buy a table 9. Unlock your car 10. Drive home 11. Take your table inside 12. Time to assemble the table 😁😂
I built my first PC... by my desk, on the carpeted floor with no anti static protection. That was a long time ago...I was such a noob but I still built my PC better than the Verge. I did screw with confidence. :P
You're not the only one who hopes someone didn't use this video as a beginners guide! Which is why I would like to make a video on how to properly build a PC.
Yep it seems the newer Corsair radiators have moved the flow channels away from the screw holes to prevent people that use incorrect screws from puncturing the rad. Imagine if someone uses a different aio and punctures the rad because of this tutorial... $2000 down the drain..
If it interests anyone, I have a video of my Threadripper build on my channel. Feel free to leave some criticism on the video! I screw with confidence in that one, I swear! :p th-cam.com/video/6ZoyCDP8_pk/w-d-xo.html
Am I the only one who thinks the "you need a table" was good advice from the Verge? I've seen some eager people start without clearing some work space first, and the build experience was made less enjoyable as a result.
Smash Bother it's a common sense that doesn't need to be voiced in the first place. like some other techtuber put it, he might as well recommend to have two hands that better have ten digits to build a gaming PC.
Yeah that’s really shitty, but he got attacked over a hobby and he wasn’t the whole mastermind behind the video. I think people took it too far insulting his mind and sending him threats
We learned a lot. We learned about AsuZ, The Brace, Tweezers, screwing with confidence for a really long time, doing it because it looks nice, hammering it in, those little insulating pads, and perhaps most importantly what a solid clasp sounds like.
Pretty confident that the Verge made one of the most useful PC build guides ever. I've learned so much about building PC's by watching other builders react to the video and explain what not to do.
FYI that quote was from bitwit's reaction to the verge video, that was one of the many hilarious comments he had in it. Seriously though, that verge video literally made me nearly throw up in my mouth how terrible it was, all of you posters putting up reaction videos destroying that verge crap need to get youtube to take that video down before some kid who just literally does not know any better uses that video assuming it's good information as a guide and grenades their first ever pc build they saved up for.
Another person pointed that out to me about an hour ago. I didn't notice when I was editing the video together! This video just keeps getting better and better lol
Looks like a screw missing on the PSU as well. I suppose it would as it's the WRONG WAY. Bloody hell, it would be much better if the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show did this. That or Craig's List.
I always go back to this video from time to time to see how far ive come. When the og verge video was released i was getting into pc building and wiltshires helped me helped me dive deeper. I have currently built 17 different gaming pc’s since then and Seeing the allen wrench scene from the verge vid always makes me chuckle now
Glad you were able to use this reaction as a tool for learning. That was the intention of my reaction was to educate people on the wrong way of doing things.
That was my intention with this video. It wasn't to hate on the guy and add more hate to the pile. It was intended to explain why things were incorrect to the viewer and to Stefan himself.
I know its been over a year lol but thanks for the vid its very useful and i learned alot, things to do and not to do while building pc. We understand your purpose was not to hate on him but provide us with guide that is more accurate than what they posted. Thank you (:
Yes, he actually did! (twitter.com/StefanEtienne/status/1040656374475251717) He's already blocked Science Studio on twitter over his reaction video. You and other reaction video creators might be next!
What makes this video different to the other reaction videos, it that not only are you correcting his mistakes and saying not to do that, you also explain why you shouldn't do that and what could possibly happen, and you still respond to comments from a video that's over a year old. New subscriber here, and fan. Hopefully you grow to 100K soon
I didn't want to hate on the man. He was already getting backlash at the time. I didn't want to add to the pile of hatred. Maybe it's the Canadian coming out of me lol. I really just wanted to correct his mistakes and use the video as a learning tool for others. I respond to MOST of the comments I get. I read ALL of the comments I get. I appreciate the sub! It means a lot! That's what I'm gunning for! Hope to have that Silver Play Button hanging on my wall in the future!
Thank you for making his video and helping the pc community. I sent a video time stamped breakdown of the issues on Friday to Stefan Etienne, which of course was ignored, but looks like I was not the only one who picked of the 40+ errors: 0.36 Those are cable ties, not tweezers 0.40 Swiss Army knife, really? Not a philips screw driver in sight. 0.43 Anti static plastic bracelet which is not connected to anything- How are you grounded to protect parts and yourself? 1.49 For video streaming you recommending a i3 or i5? Please try to stream with least than 4 cores and see the result. 2.20 Opening all the boxes get people confused. Open the box which you need at the time of the build. 2.26 Adding motherboard in the pc case. No, you add cpu and ram to board as it easier to do so while motherboard is in open space. And mount the AIO backplate before installing the motherboard. 2.36 Reasons for choosing board. Most top tier Z370 chipset motherboards have NVM support these days and bluetooth/Wifi, so why Asus was chosen? 2.50 The brace is called a IO shield. 3.00 After you said be careful with motherboard earlier, you then rest motherboard back solder back of motherboard on the motherboard rinsers and scrap it across towards IO shield. 3.12 You did not screw all the motherboard screws as when you installed the gpu, you can clearly see some missing. 3.24 Ram, lights and its fast 2666Mhz. The Asus Z370 supports ram up to 4500Mhz - 2666Mhz is almost half speed. Most Z370 chipset motherboard are best running DDR4 ram at 3200Mhz. 3.43 - Ram installed incorrectly, Dual channel mode uses alternative dimm slots, not next to each other. In this case it would be recommended dimm B2 and dimm A2. 4.00 SSD chosen because dont want to deal with wires (check end of build and tel me how the cable management). 4.10 No meantion of additional mechanical drive storage. 4.31 Installation of gpu hinders install of cpu and other components. 4.41- PCi Express Slot are not called lanes. 4.46 Pick the top pcie express slot because does not want to cover ssd because it looks nice. Not checked manual to find out which has the full x16 pci express lanes which is best for gpu. 4.58 Those are not brackets their are expansion slot covers. 5.15 PSU 850watts for a system that has a gpu that draws 180 watts. RTX2080ti will top 300 watts so you would not have to upgrade it even if you had a quality 650 watts psu. 5.18 Power supply is not a brick. 5.22 Thoses are not insulating pads, there are there to minimize vibrations when psu is operating. 5.26 Power supply will not short circuit if it comes in contact with metal case. That's why is has a case build around the psu components. 5.31 PSU installed backwards. The case actually has vent holes on the back so its designed for psu to face out so fan can suck in cold fair. You got it sucking warm air from the pc case. 6.11 Used wrong screws. The screws you used are to install fans to radiator. There a separate set of screws to screw the radiator. Can i ask did you bend the radiator fins as you tried to screw through with a 30mm screw to a 5mm space blocked space? 6.21 Lie and incorrect, not all psu comes with big bag of velcro cables. 6.28 Not daunting if you check the manual you find that you need just 3/4 cables for your build. 6.46 Matching the cable to the motherboard and psu. Wrong. Each end of the cable needs to be checked as only one side will connect properly to psu while the other to the motherboard. 6.53 You missed the EPS power cable for the cpu which is 8 pin, sata power cables for you AIO and pci express power cable for gpu. 7.19 Exposed cpu socket not holder or slot. 7.37 If you checked the cpu and motherboard you would find a triangle on one of the edges which is what is used to align the correct orientation of cpu installation. 8.11 You installed the motherboard without installing the AIO backplate which magically appears with mounting screws already on it at 8.38 8.17 Incorrect. Not every cpu cooler comes with pre appplied thermal paste. 8.22 Pre-applied thermal on the cooler is more than enough hence its been pre-applied by manufacturer. 8.23 Incorrect. Its not good pc building practice to add more thermal paste to existing pre-applied thermal paste. Good pc building practice to to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste with some TIM cleaner and use a better quality one. 8.28 You put a pea size amount on cpu on the centre so when you install AIO cpu waterblock it spreads. 8.38 Its mounting screws which magically installed themselves on to the AIO back motherboard mount which you did not installed to begin with. 8.47 Incorrect. Those 4 mounting screws are what is going to keep the waterblock on the AIO at full contact with cpu IHS. 8.54 Each nut should be tighten on opposite side to avoid uneven pressure stress on the motherboard. Top left, bottom right, top righ and bottom left with 2 turn each time. You missed one of the screws as only 3 is actually on at the end. 8.56 AIO fan headers not plugged in, no sata power power plugged to AIO. 9.00 Panel connectors not installed, usb, sound and case fans not installed. 9.09 Any pc built, first thing is to go into the bios by pressing F2 or Del and check that the components you installed are present and that all temperature are in order. 9.15. Incorrect. You dont need a usb flash drive. Windows come in other formats including DVD format for people who have a optical drive which you chose not to include hence you have no choice but to use a usb flash drive with windows on it. 9.25 After installing windows. Priority is update the motherboard bios to latest version and enable XMP profile for the ram. Then install Anti virus program then display driver, OC software etc. 9.31 You used a GTX1080 for 1080p while a GTX1070 actuall is more suited for that resolution. Also you got a k series cpu and installed a AIO but you not bothered to overclock the cpu??? 9. Arma 3 is cpu bound game and you running stock cpu frequency. 10.02 Averaging 120fps on League of Legends. What is the 1080p monitor resolution refresh rate? 10.12 300fps on what refresh rate monitor? 10.26 Battlefield V and Cyberpunk pc requirements not been finalized so how can you know that you going to be able to game at max settings on those games? 10.33 When RTX gpu comes out, you going to spend 50% of what it cost to build the pc to upgrade to a gpu that is 25% faster than the current 1080ti. Does think makes any sense? 10.44 You RMA a computer part when it fails. You would only have to send you whole computer if you bought a pre built system and there was a fault with it. 10.49 Benchmark and test games. You did not even do a stock or OC setting benchmark on 3DMark, Valley or Heaven or even got MSI afterburner to check your gpu temps and frequencies. How do you expect for people to take any games benchmarking that the Verge do seriously.
PcShed I have to say this is an excellent breakdown. I actually noted down some of the points you made for my build checklist. A tip of the hat to you sir for your devotion to accurate PC knowledge and your dedication to eradicating those who would spread misinformation. I am subscribing to your content as I appreciate this level of effort huzzah!
and at 6:33 in this video, as he starts to install the RAM it is actually backwards. Then there is a cutaway and in the next shot it is seated in the slot.
Hey Stefan, you wanted to prove yourself right? Well here you go, your brand new assignment! But... but sir... I just deliver the mail & memos around the office. GUD LUCK, KID!
@@shineinouzen7412 yeah. for real, there are some Swiss Army knife models which has it, some dont. Mine doesnt have one. But like, Stefan's sentencing feels like even for the knife itself he didnt even check before recording....if he said "A Swiss Army knife model which have a screw driver like this [showing how it looks like]" then it would be better.
Painful to watch the original, thank you for suffering with is while correcting the improv sketch of a guy trying to impress a girl by building a pc for her
I have built computers on the floor on carpet, on a desk, on a chair, on a couch and on my lap. Never once actually used a table. What I recommend to people is to use a clean working surface such as a workbench, desk or table. You don't need any of them to actually build a computer. The lap method works well for me with small form factor cases that are lightweight. Of course I don't recommend building the computer on the floor on carpet, but mostly because it's not a comfortable way to build a computer.
Actually after posting this joke comment I attempted to build a pc with a system of strings, it worked a little bit better because I could easily rotate the entire system around.
Thank God they removed the video just now but they didn't take down the article and it's still there :( www.theverge.com/2018/9/13/17828092/gaming-pc-build-custom-how-to-asus-intel-geforce-cost
0:40 Two years later, he still does. On every tweet. By several people. And he blocks them all, yet they keep coming. He has blocked literally thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of people on twitter just for that by now.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never built a pc but I am glad the verge did this because now I never have to worry about what NOT to do, I just watch their video. Also, it’s really the gift that keeps on giving.
Subbed. That Omnizoa supercut of techtubers' reactions to this build is SOLID GOLD. I love that you're trying to give him the benefit of the doubt in the very beginning but things go real bad real quick. The table, man. I always forget the table.
@@OG_McLovin appreciate the sub! I was more or using the Verge's original video as a teaching tool on what not to do. Wasn't trying to shit on Stephen or anything.
So far out of every tech channel that I've seen give a reaction to this video... Your criticizisms were actually constructive, and helped informed me on alot of things that were wrong in this video. Most other youtubers simply say "oh wow that was obviously wrong" but fail to go into detail of how it was wrong, because they think it's basic information to someone who has never built a PC or anything close to one in their life. For example, I didn't even know about the wrist band thingy until the video from The Verge, because no one except Linus Tech had ever mentioned it before, then I found your channel through this video, and not only did you confirm it's a thing for me, but explained that there's supposed to be a cable running between it to the ground, something I wouldn't have ever thought of. So far I've subbed, mainly because you said that you feel as if you should make a video proudly showing how... Honestly, considering your constructive criticism, and attention to detail on what to teach, I would highly recommend making that video! Not only would it be an actually useful video for the casual gamer wanting to switch to PC, but it would most likely get alot of attention and benefit you and your channel aswell. Anyways, I hope you see this comment, thanks for the info in this video, and have a great day!
I love the fact that this tutorial manages to do almost everything wrong, it's like watching a masterclass in how to destroy your PC before you've even run it.
For somereason, I got the itch to go back and visit this historical event in thermal paste history. Didn't see your video 2 years ago when this first happened - only the highlight vid. Great commentary, and thanks for the laughs.
I think we all do. I go back and watch the super-cut of everyone's reactions from time-to-time. I'm glad you liked the video as well. Thanks for watching
The 3D Printing Corner dont remove it, it creates a pin dot mark, so when you RMA the MB they can tell if you installed the cpu right. its there to let you know how much pressure to use when pulling and locking the lever. most people but way to much pressure pushing the lever touching the pcb, you should barley gently bring it down enough just to clear the hook. it should never ever touch the pcb.
Interesting, never thought of that. I have been building Computers since the days when you had to remove it, and just never stopped, but great piece of advice I will try to break 25 year old habit.
Say what you want, but the original video was actually a service towards the PC Community. I've seen several videos already reviewing the original one, and step by step saying what was wrong with it. Not the "you're just bad at it", but the "no, that's wrong, because if you do that this will happen, and you should do this instead to prevent it". That's what PC enthusiasts do. They dont punch down, they try to educate so you'll grow from that experience. Also, the debate of "get the qualified person to do the job" came up. And it's justified. Since this isnt a personal youtube page, it's a company. Even worse, nobody bothered to check the final product, so there was no editorial involved in this whatsoever. Claiming that "it didnt met their editorial standards" was a joke by itself. They're flying blind there. If a person with that knowledge applied to work in the tech industry, and their hands on test was to quickly assemble a PC, let's just say that they wouldnt get the job. Regardless, it started the discussion, and that's great. It's lego's for adults, correct, but educated adults. If you dont know what you're doing, you shouldnt be making videos catered to others that are looking for information on how to do it. And it doesnt matter if you spend 2000 dollars on a PC. If you assemble it incorrectly, you'll have it running slower than a PC that costs half the price. There is no shame on paying a professional to assemble it for you, if you think you are over your head. And that's also the reason the service isnt free.
Oh hell yeah it did, he put way too much thermal paste and forgot to put one of the screws that go on the water block so it's gonna heat up and the paste is gonna run off to the GPU.
@@The_Cokimoto He also took off the plastic for his aio and let it breath in all the air and dust around it. It's just open to the world the whole video.

For the hex key thing, I've used one because my case had pins that held the tempered glass in place that used a hex key but that was it and my roommate laughed when he saw me using it so I get that it is stupid but not too sure why
Cycle Coma that’s the reason he had it. It’s for the optional case screws that hold the glass in. Your better off using the more traditional screws that can be screwed in with your hand.
Allen wrench to build the table you use to build the pc. cmon man
The irony is that the verge video is actually very helpful when you want to learn how to build a PC. Seeing what you should NOT do is half the process of learning anything.
Exactly, that's why I'm watching these videos
It's true. I built my first PC around this time (still come back occasionally ... still hysterical) and these reaction videos were very helpful. I probably would've messed up the dimm slots had it not been for Stefan's masterpiece (who received WAY too much hate might I add. It was the Verge's fault, not his).
Cunningham's Law strikes again.
He screwed with confidence... Right through the radiator.
Ouch.
He was confident, this is the right decision.
"We got to the POST screen."
I call such bullshit on this. No way it POSTed on the first try. Given that they didn't show it, I bet anything that they had to troubleshoot something.
Installing the RAM, CPU and cooler before putting the motherboard inside the case is just way too easy. PRO builders like in this video enjoy the challenge of putting the CPU in LAST, with all the components already inside and cables dangling in the way. Bonus points if you cut up your hands on all the sharp edges and solder points in there. Allows you to show off the scars from your first PC build later.
LOL!
THE FIRST THING I SAID LMAOO
The blood from the cuts is a symbolic sacrifice to the pc gods
If you don't slice your hand open first using the Swiss Army Knife!
I'm always afraid of shorting out the mobo so I put it in first, then add the ram and cpu, and cooler. It's not that hard.
Hi. Just to give you kuddos about this video reaction. Half the community is laughing at that video right now, but you took the time to actually explain in detail why things are wrong, and what you should be doing to install the component correctly. Great work.
Thanks! That was the point of the video. It wasn't to shit on them, but to correct them. I wanted to explain to the viewer why the video was bad.
I think the reason why half of the tech-tuber community is flat out ripping it a new one is two reasons 1)Majority of them put out parts and price guides and have done tutorial videos that have over 500K+ views. 2) the majority of the audience have more than 1 brain cell and actually understand that everything the guy did in some way could irreparably harm the components of the PC.
Definately more than half
@Reversed Tech No, build on a surface that IS conductive! Non-conductive surfaces build STATIC charge, where conductive surfaces do not, if they are grounded. The whole point of anti-static is to provide conductivity (with a resistor to slow the current down some) so static charge does not build up and cause an ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) that causes damage. Maybe the verge will hire you...
3:29 Dont be fooled... this IS a real anti-static bracelet. It works via wifi through the bluetooth signal and hopefully protects your pc from static electricity with confidence!
Pretty sure it takes AAA batteries.
The allen wrench is for the table that you need to build first.
Hahaha. Makes sense.
How build a pc presteps:
1. Take your shoes on
2. Lock your door
3. Open your car and sit in the drivers seat
4. Drive to the nearest Ikea
5. Get out of the car
6. Lock your car
7. Walk in to the store
8. Buy a table
9. Unlock your car
10. Drive home
11. Take your table inside
12. Time to assemble the table
😁😂
I built my first PC... by my desk, on the carpeted floor with no anti static protection. That was a long time ago...I was such a noob but I still built my PC better than the Verge. I did screw with confidence. :P
Jennifur68 ahh good times. Built my first two computers on my bed and one on a carpeted floor. Static bracelet only used once never had an issue.
me too,
at least my case had better cable management
it makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only one guilty of building on the bed. lol
To be fair, built my latest gaming PC on the floor. Works fine.
I always build my computers on the floor with no problems LOL

He didn't even use the thermal paste applicator. He just messily applied thermal paste and made it look like bird poop.
Or the Allen Wrench (Hex Key), or the tweezers (Zip Ties). :)
He didn't even remove the pre-applied thermal paste on the waterblock *cringe*
I think he said it wasn't enough and he needed to add more.... -_-
He used the aplicator.. to push the CPU into the holder by pressing on the resistors :D
He painted a Mona Lisa on his processor hahaa
I REALLY hope someone didn't buy $2000 worth of PC components and clicked this video first for a tutorial.
You're not the only one who hopes someone didn't use this video as a beginners guide! Which is why I would like to make a video on how to properly build a PC.
Yep it seems the newer Corsair radiators have moved the flow channels away from the screw holes to prevent people that use incorrect screws from puncturing the rad. Imagine if someone uses a different aio and punctures the rad because of this tutorial... $2000 down the drain..
Good move on Corsair's part to do so. I was worried about it being punctured after he did that.
Lipscomb yeah bro I'm sure you can sympathize.
not necessarily 2000 down the drain. the radiator for sure but distilled water isnt instantly ruining your pc. at least if you notice ^^
Obviously the Allen wrench is in case your Swiss Army knife DOESN'T include a Phillips screwdriver.
He forgot the hammer, to "insert" the brace.
If it interests anyone, I have a video of my Threadripper build on my channel. Feel free to leave some criticism on the video! I screw with confidence in that one, I swear! :p

Not true that bad cable management affects airflow. Complete myth.
@@ShozzleMeNoz yes they can maybe do 30 seconds of reasearch before commenting
Am I the only one who thinks the "you need a table" was good advice from the Verge? I've seen some eager people start without clearing some work space first, and the build experience was made less enjoyable as a result.
Smash Bother it's a common sense that doesn't need to be voiced in the first place. like some other techtuber put it, he might as well recommend to have two hands that better have ten digits to build a gaming PC.
"You probably shouldnt have included your twitter handle here cuz I imagine...." He still gets bullied even to this date.
Unfortunately so. I wasn't a fan of his attitude and how he handled things. But, I don't agree with the barrage of hate he still gets.
Wiltshire Tutorials i kinda agree, imagine pulling the race card because you can’t admit you dun goofed
Yeah that’s really shitty, but he got attacked over a hobby and he wasn’t the whole mastermind behind the video. I think people took it too far insulting his mind and sending him threats

Viagra: "Screw with Confidence"
After Verge or Vox broke the internet, I have to watch every reaction videos, since I didn't watch the original one at that time .... 😂
Glad you stopped by! Hope you enjoyed the video!
Pretty confident that the Verge made one of the most useful PC build guides ever. I've learned so much about building PC's by watching other builders react to the video and explain what not to do.
In 45 years of building PC's for a job i have never ever used an anti static strap my wrist as this is total BS
I don't wear one either. As long as you ground yourself before touching parts, you're fine!
And even if you *do* use one, this guy's strap just looks like a "live strong" rubber bracelet, there was no actual grounding cord.
Correct. Definitely looked like the wristband I wear around.
FYI that quote was from bitwit's reaction to the verge video, that was one of the many hilarious comments he had in it. Seriously though, that verge video literally made me nearly throw up in my mouth how terrible it was, all of you posters putting up reaction videos destroying that verge crap need to get youtube to take that video down before some kid who just literally does not know any better uses that video assuming it's good information as a guide and grenades their first ever pc build they saved up for.
yep. unnecessary.

Another person pointed that out to me about an hour ago. I didn't notice when I was editing the video together! This video just keeps getting better and better lol
No man, he's just missing a screw... Or all of them!
Stepfan himself has a few screws loose! XD
Looks like a screw missing on the PSU as well. I suppose it would as it's the WRONG WAY. Bloody hell, it would be much better if the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show did this. That or Craig's List.
You could say he " screwed" up.!
I always go back to this video from time to time to see how far ive come. When the og verge video was released i was getting into pc building and wiltshires helped me helped me dive deeper. I have currently built 17 different gaming pc’s since then and Seeing the allen wrench scene from the verge vid always makes me chuckle now
Glad you were able to use this reaction as a tool for learning. That was the intention of my reaction was to educate people on the wrong way of doing things.

Me: "I can see a dark future in this video"
this is the most helpful reaction video to ever be posted on the internet tbh
That was my intention with this video. It wasn't to hate on the guy and add more hate to the pile. It was intended to explain why things were incorrect to the viewer and to Stefan himself.
I know its been over a year lol but thanks for the vid its very useful and i learned alot, things to do and not to do while building pc. We understand your purpose was not to hate on him but provide us with guide that is more accurate than what they posted. Thank you (:
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you out in some way. Thanks for watching!
The Verge could've redeemed themselves, but by them offering up copyright strikes just made things worse for them.

Funny thing is science studios video was actually quite respectful considering... wait till he sees kyle’s/“lyle’s” from bitwit...

What makes this video different to the other reaction videos, it that not only are you correcting his mistakes and saying not to do that, you also explain why you shouldn't do that and what could possibly happen, and you still respond to comments from a video that's over a year old. New subscriber here, and fan. Hopefully you grow to 100K soon
I didn't want to hate on the man. He was already getting backlash at the time. I didn't want to add to the pile of hatred. Maybe it's the Canadian coming out of me lol. I really just wanted to correct his mistakes and use the video as a learning tool for others.
I respond to MOST of the comments I get. I read ALL of the comments I get. I appreciate the sub! It means a lot! That's what I'm gunning for! Hope to have that Silver Play Button hanging on my wall in the future!
Thank you for making his video and helping the pc community. I sent a video time stamped breakdown of the issues on Friday to Stefan Etienne, which of course was ignored, but looks like I was not the only one who picked of the 40+ errors:
0.36 Those are cable ties, not tweezers
0.40 Swiss Army knife, really? Not a philips screw driver in sight.
0.43 Anti static plastic bracelet which is not connected to anything- How are you grounded to protect parts and yourself?
1.49 For video streaming you recommending a i3 or i5? Please try to stream with least than 4 cores and see the result.
2.20 Opening all the boxes get people confused. Open the box which you need at the time of the build.
2.26 Adding motherboard in the pc case. No, you add cpu and ram to board as it easier to do so while motherboard is in open space. And mount the AIO backplate before installing the motherboard.
2.36 Reasons for choosing board. Most top tier Z370 chipset motherboards have NVM support these days and bluetooth/Wifi, so why Asus was chosen?
2.50 The brace is called a IO shield.
3.00 After you said be careful with motherboard earlier, you then rest motherboard back solder back of motherboard on the motherboard rinsers and scrap it across towards IO shield.
3.12 You did not screw all the motherboard screws as when you installed the gpu, you can clearly see some missing.
3.24 Ram, lights and its fast 2666Mhz. The Asus Z370 supports ram up to 4500Mhz - 2666Mhz is almost half speed. Most Z370 chipset motherboard are best running DDR4 ram at 3200Mhz.
3.43 - Ram installed incorrectly, Dual channel mode uses alternative dimm slots, not next to each other. In this case it would be recommended dimm B2 and dimm A2.
4.00 SSD chosen because dont want to deal with wires (check end of build and tel me how the cable management).
4.10 No meantion of additional mechanical drive storage.
4.31 Installation of gpu hinders install of cpu and other components.
4.41- PCi Express Slot are not called lanes.
4.46 Pick the top pcie express slot because does not want to cover ssd because it looks nice. Not checked manual to find out which has the full x16 pci express lanes which is best for gpu.
4.58 Those are not brackets their are expansion slot covers.
5.15 PSU 850watts for a system that has a gpu that draws 180 watts. RTX2080ti will top 300 watts so you would not have to upgrade it even if you had a quality 650 watts psu.
5.18 Power supply is not a brick.
5.22 Thoses are not insulating pads, there are there to minimize vibrations when psu is operating.
5.26 Power supply will not short circuit if it comes in contact with metal case. That's why is has a case build around the psu components.
5.31 PSU installed backwards. The case actually has vent holes on the back so its designed for psu to face out so fan can suck in cold fair. You got it sucking warm air from the pc case.
6.11 Used wrong screws. The screws you used are to install fans to radiator. There a separate set of screws to screw the radiator. Can i ask did you bend the radiator fins as you tried to screw through with a 30mm screw to a 5mm space blocked space?
6.21 Lie and incorrect, not all psu comes with big bag of velcro cables.
6.28 Not daunting if you check the manual you find that you need just 3/4 cables for your build.
6.46 Matching the cable to the motherboard and psu. Wrong. Each end of the cable needs to be checked as only one side will connect properly to psu while the other to the motherboard.
6.53 You missed the EPS power cable for the cpu which is 8 pin, sata power cables for you AIO and pci express power cable for gpu.
7.19 Exposed cpu socket not holder or slot.
7.37 If you checked the cpu and motherboard you would find a triangle on one of the edges which is what is used to align the correct orientation of cpu installation.
8.11 You installed the motherboard without installing the AIO backplate which magically appears with mounting screws already on it at 8.38
8.17 Incorrect. Not every cpu cooler comes with pre appplied thermal paste.
8.22 Pre-applied thermal on the cooler is more than enough hence its been pre-applied by manufacturer.
8.23 Incorrect. Its not good pc building practice to add more thermal paste to existing pre-applied thermal paste. Good pc building practice to to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste with some TIM cleaner and use a better quality one.
8.28 You put a pea size amount on cpu on the centre so when you install AIO cpu waterblock it spreads.
8.38 Its mounting screws which magically installed themselves on to the AIO back motherboard mount which you did not installed to begin with.
8.47 Incorrect. Those 4 mounting screws are what is going to keep the waterblock on the AIO at full contact with cpu IHS.
8.54 Each nut should be tighten on opposite side to avoid uneven pressure stress on the motherboard. Top left, bottom right, top righ and bottom left with 2 turn each time. You missed one of the screws as only 3 is actually on at the end.
8.56 AIO fan headers not plugged in, no sata power power plugged to AIO.
9.00 Panel connectors not installed, usb, sound and case fans not installed.
9.09 Any pc built, first thing is to go into the bios by pressing F2 or Del and check that the components you installed are present and that all temperature are in order.
9.15. Incorrect. You dont need a usb flash drive. Windows come in other formats including DVD format for people who have a optical drive which you chose not to include hence you have no choice but to use a usb flash drive with windows on it.
9.25 After installing windows. Priority is update the motherboard bios to latest version and enable XMP profile for the ram. Then install Anti virus program then display driver, OC software etc.
9.31 You used a GTX1080 for 1080p while a GTX1070 actuall is more suited for that resolution. Also you got a k series cpu and installed a AIO but you not bothered to overclock the cpu???
9. Arma 3 is cpu bound game and you running stock cpu frequency.
10.02 Averaging 120fps on League of Legends. What is the 1080p monitor resolution refresh rate?
10.12 300fps on what refresh rate monitor?
10.26 Battlefield V and Cyberpunk pc requirements not been finalized so how can you know that you going to be able to game at max settings on those games?
10.33 When RTX gpu comes out, you going to spend 50% of what it cost to build the pc to upgrade to a gpu that is 25% faster than the current 1080ti. Does think makes any sense?
10.44 You RMA a computer part when it fails. You would only have to send you whole computer if you bought a pre built system and there was a fault with it.
10.49 Benchmark and test games. You did not even do a stock or OC setting benchmark on 3DMark, Valley or Heaven or even got MSI afterburner to check your gpu temps and frequencies.
How do you expect for people to take any games benchmarking that the Verge do seriously.

I don't like videos that spread misinformation. Especially from a larger channel like The Verge. The more people that correct this video, the better.
This is old, but I just want to say. .a table is good advice. Definitely don't want to build it on a carpet
People have done that with zero problems.
I have built computers on the floor on carpet, on a desk, on a chair, on a couch and on my lap. Never once actually used a table. What I recommend to people is to use a clean working surface such as a workbench, desk or table. You don't need any of them to actually build a computer.
The lap method works well for me with small form factor cases that are lightweight.
Of course I don't recommend building the computer on the floor on carpet, but mostly because it's not a comfortable way to build a computer.
Build mine on grass, best part I could connect my bracelet to ground
OK, that's the one thing you can't do. Carpets are where static energy gathers. They learned that in a Verge video.
I built my pc on carpet and the cardboard box that my case came in
When he showed the CPU he looked like a little proud kid showing off. YEAH WE GOT ONE
I suspend my pc in midair with a system of strings to build a pc.
That's the professional way of doing it!
Actually after posting this joke comment I attempted to build a pc with a system of strings, it worked a little bit better because I could easily rotate the entire system around.
But use strong wire.
I use the force to build my PCs. My Jedi arts are no match for your tables.

Wiltshire Tutorials Yeah no problem! I appreciate the insightful commentary from someone who knows what theyre talking about 👍
So far out of every tech channel that I've seen give a reaction to this video... Your criticizisms were actually constructive, and helped informed me on alot of things that were wrong in this video. Most other youtubers simply say "oh wow that was obviously wrong" but fail to go into detail of how it was wrong, because they think it's basic information to someone who has never built a PC or anything close to one in their life. For example, I didn't even know about the wrist band thingy until the video from The Verge, because no one except Linus Tech had ever mentioned it before, then I found your channel through this video, and not only did you confirm it's a thing for me, but explained that there's supposed to be a cable running between it to the ground, something I wouldn't have ever thought of. So far I've subbed, mainly because you said that you feel as if you should make a video proudly showing how... Honestly, considering your constructive criticism, and attention to detail on what to teach, I would highly recommend making that video! Not only would it be an actually useful video for the casual gamer wanting to switch to PC, but it would most likely get alot of attention and benefit you and your channel aswell.
Anyways, I hope you see this comment, thanks for the info in this video, and have a great day!
I love the fact that this tutorial manages to do almost everything wrong, it's like watching a masterclass in how to destroy your PC before you've even run it.
For somereason, I got the itch to go back and visit this historical event in thermal paste history. Didn't see your video 2 years ago when this first happened - only the highlight vid. Great commentary, and thanks for the laughs.
I think we all do. I go back and watch the super-cut of everyone's reactions from time-to-time. I'm glad you liked the video as well. Thanks for watching

You don't have to remove plastic cover from CPU socket because it will pop off as soon as you put the CPU in and close the retention arm.
It does, but I like to remove it too, just always have. That said, I don't toss it, that's for sure.
The 3D Printing Corner dont remove it, it creates a pin dot mark, so when you RMA the MB they can tell if you installed the cpu right. its there to let you know how much pressure to use when pulling and locking the lever. most people but way to much pressure pushing the lever touching the pcb, you should barley gently bring it down enough just to clear the hook. it should never ever touch the pcb.
Interesting, never thought of that. I have been building Computers since the days when you had to remove it, and just never stopped, but great piece of advice I will try to break 25 year old habit.
Need a table? I guess that leaves me out, I don't own a table big enough so I have built all of my PCs on the floor, I guess that shows what I know.
I'm going to call intel's tech support and call physical abuse for that cpu it doesn't deserve that to happen to it 🤬🤬😭🖥️💀
Say what you want, but the original video was actually a service towards the PC Community. I've seen several videos already reviewing the original one, and step by step saying what was wrong with it. Not the "you're just bad at it", but the "no, that's wrong, because if you do that this will happen, and you should do this instead to prevent it". That's what PC enthusiasts do. They dont punch down, they try to educate so you'll grow from that experience.
Also, the debate of "get the qualified person to do the job" came up. And it's justified. Since this isnt a personal youtube page, it's a company. Even worse, nobody bothered to check the final product, so there was no editorial involved in this whatsoever. Claiming that "it didnt met their editorial standards" was a joke by itself. They're flying blind there. If a person with that knowledge applied to work in the tech industry, and their hands on test was to quickly assemble a PC, let's just say that they wouldnt get the job.
Regardless, it started the discussion, and that's great. It's lego's for adults, correct, but educated adults. If you dont know what you're doing, you shouldnt be making videos catered to others that are looking for information on how to do it. And it doesnt matter if you spend 2000 dollars on a PC. If you assemble it incorrectly, you'll have it running slower than a PC that costs half the price. There is no shame on paying a professional to assemble it for you, if you think you are over your head. And that's also the reason the service isnt free.
There were 12 editors that went through it using a prewritten script that was rushed through.
I think I've watched every single reaction now at least once. Truly never gets old.
It really is the gift that keeps on giving lol
Wow, that was 10x worse than my 1st build, when I was 13yo
Your profile picture is very fitting.
Wonder if the CPU thermal throttled.
I also wondered about that. My guess is yes due to the Double Stuff Oreo that was the CPU cooler and CPU lol
Oh hell yeah it did, he put way too much thermal paste and forgot to put one of the screws that go on the water block so it's gonna heat up and the paste is gonna run off to the GPU.
@@The_Cokimoto He also took off the plastic for his aio and let it breath in all the air and dust around it. It's just open to the world the whole video.

Honestly, I'm very surprised by the fact that the rig even posted.
Did someone say oreo? Mmmmmm oreos
...and the Verge has FINALLY pulled the video.
