Apoo Tim What about them? They’re next line is going to have raytracing, and the 5000xt series would’ve been great if there weren’t that many driver issues
@@stonesiscool ok? I didn’t commit some bad act crime and go to prison for 9 years, I said an original joke which I also see is not in this comment section.
Cheers buddy, I've meant to make a series but make them more polished. Never got around to it. That one video made me about £540 though so I'm glad I shared it!
I've had it happen to a cheap power supply before. Accidentally left my screwdriver inside there while repairing it, and it was touching one of the leads on the capacitor. There's a few large capacitors in there that store all the power going through the power supply. Those are capable of storing a surprising amount of energy for their size. You short one of those babies, and it's like a firecracker going off. Here's an image of a circuit composed of the same type of capacitor, in case you're curious: tinyurl.com/r4t3lag
Mine wasn't quite spectacular but yes there was black smoke when my power supply died..thankfully that was the only think that does if I remember correctly.
Had it happen. Was sitting using my computer regularly when it suddenly said *Boing*. While I was thinking "Boing?" the screen turned glitchy. Then an opaque black column of smoke rose from the supply (which looked quite surrealistic). I turned it off and ventilated, so I didn't wait for it to pop. What happened was that a metal piece of the CPU fan fastener broke loose and the spring ejected it onto the GPU, shorting it.
@@danielyildiz3480 I can help you with a new computer for as long as I don't have to physically help you, decent computers don't have to be expensive especially if you manage to get a good deal on parts.
Oh man only vista with installed special thinf that adds minisweeaper and another games can survie this I tried with my thinkpad THANK YOU THINKPAD For burning my home
@@pankaburek59 i think imma try this on my windows 10 pro edi---*PC blows up* hi i'm texting from the ambulance on my phone lmao, it blew up my room lmao
Wow those engineers are so kind! Not only they made a *fire* pc, but they also thought of their customers being cold so they made the pc get hot when we're freezing
Could you get a electric shock for torching up your computer? Yeah, so Luke. I could also see the fan blades slowing down and twitch at the end. Cause I've got good eyesight and if I scrolled inwards. I would see the fan blades more better.
Don't try it yourself. This video there is to show that you shouldn't really try this at home because it looks extremely dangerous. Picture this, um, mother's board. Like on your computer or your graphics card. I don't think it's your graphics card. It's the power pack that explode. I could also see the the processor fan rocking back-and-forth as well. But I could see what you mean now. It's the fan that when your pc shuts off. The fan blade slowly all the way down it. It also makes a slow rocking back-and-forth motion at the end. Like I also saw this last night
I remember buying a £30 PSU and then trying to power the GTX 295 with it. Naturally the cables melted to each other in an inseparable embrace and the case filled with a cloud of acrid smoke. Everything worked out though because I got paid big money to let them film 2007’s The Mist in the case.
As a collector of old PC parts, it hurts to see that GPU in there when you did that. Not only are the high-end GeForce FX GPUs rare these days, that was an ABIT FX 5900 ULTRA, which is even rarer. Been looking for one of those for ages now. :(
Sorry chap. I thought the same as you but it was an afterthought. I've worked for hardware vendors over the years and binned some really good kit. Won't make the same mistake twice.
the fact that i can smell this and taste it is exactly why i dont buy cheap power supplies. ive had this happen in the past and one power supply that would shock you if you touched it or the metal for the case it was connected to
@@lagosmanuel Yes, everything about this is dangerous, they are in a big ventilated warehouse, if this happens in a small room and you inhale all that toxic smoke its not going to be fun for you!
I took running start classes to be a computer tech in high school. First week in, we were just told to turn on and test as many rigs as possible and sort the good from the bad so we can learn how to repair the bad rigs by swapping parts around. This one kid, the awkward one at that (always the awkward ones) got one with rig hanging by a thread. He plugs it in and it starts shooting actual flames out the back like a dragon and sounds like one of those jumping jack firework strips that have like 250 firecrackers on them. The kid freaked out, he was so scared he backed up and ran away from it while it was still shooting sparks. Teach had to run over from across the classroom and turn it off for him but not before setting off the fire alarms and having the ENTIRE campus evacuate lmao I miss that class... good times.
