I have some disagreements with the parts you chose. namely the 12400F is only $110 at time of posting, and a tower cooler will be quieter and cooler than the downdraft chosen

@Nathan_Lundstrom 3 месяца назад

^^^ I also thought this…you could buy a cheaper tower cooler that is more effective AND buying into an 11th gen system doesn’t allow for any upgrades unless you replace your motherboard too. A 12400F would be the appropriate CPU to get that allows for an upgrade path and doesn’t put an immediate block in your build.

@akenbosch1460 3 месяца назад

I think that the downdraft cooler is a better choice in this case (pun intended) simply because the motherboard itself lacks any VRM cooling (which i suspect are garbage on this tier anyway).

@GregSalazar 3 месяца назад

@cracklingice 3 месяца назад

@@GregSalazar It's like saying it's OK that the motherboard has 10/100 ethernet instead of gigabit. NVME is the new normal and does not add that much to the cost of the board. It seems it was only that particular revision of the board that lacked the M.2 slot. Probably for a system integrator that wanted to save a couple dollars per board since they were buying 10 thousand at a time. I mean don't get me wrong, SATA SSDs do still provide reasonable performance, but the M.2 slot is like the seven segment post code display - something that belongs on all boards regardless of price.

@@cracklingice 9/10 folks aren't gonna notice the difference between a 2.5" SATA SSD and a Gen 3 NVMe in the real world.

@brando3342 3 месяца назад

Hey, Greg. I purchased sleeved cable extensions for my build, and found they were extremely stiff. Just wondering if that was the case with the ones you got, and if so, did you have to put a lot of force into them to bend them into tight angles like that? I was worried about the connections on mine coming loose if I bent them too hard.

@AXCBER 3 месяца назад

Some extensions are made like that so that the cable holds its shape however you bent it to give the system a much more cleaner look. There's two types, stiff (the one you got) and flexible. You should be fine as long as you don't make extremely tight turns near the connectors. Pro tip, if your pc does not boot with the sleeved extensions, try powering on your pc without the extensions. Extensions sometimes are a point of failure.

@jonathanuhrin5016 3 месяца назад

How come some RU-vidrs suggest only a dab in the center for thermal paste?

@Hirokuro_Asura 3 месяца назад

For the same reason he didn't spread the thermal paste in his video - it's a build for the show, not for actual work/use. Saves time. Also for smaller CPUs like 10th gen "a dab in the center" will be more than enough. The pressure from the cooler will spread the thermal paste more or less evenly anyway. GN have done a video on that some years ago.

@johnt.848 3 месяца назад

Because with a smaller IHS on the CPU only a small dab is needed, around the size of a pea. Different shaped CPUs need different methods.

Ironically enough last week after my RX6600 started crashing on me almost a month ago I ended up getting an MSI 3060 (the 2 fan version, 3 would barely fit and looking at it now it would cut off a few mobo cables being plugged in) 12 gb over the 4060 8gb (after considering and thinking about both ) to replace it and also ironically I had upgraded prior from a 10100f to an 11400f. I realized that it had to be a gradual issue as far as the GPU. Ever since I got the 6600 almost three years ago games would hang on me (no crashes an game would still run because sometimes I would get audio cues that it was by moving around to hear sound effects) and a windows button (or some other action) would fix the hang. I initially assumed it was purely a driver issue but until about a month ago each hang afterwards would result in a restart or a BSOD if it even got that far. I initially stressed test everything, did driver uninstalls, reinstalls, and rollbacks and even did a clean reinstall of windows as well as a BIOS update as last resorts but after still getting the hang crashes even after the install/updates I resorted to running my old 750ti in the system to rule out any other components and the crashes never happened. Ever since I got the new GPU (something I noticed with my old 750ti in the system as well) I don't even get any hangs at all, even like the prior ones when gaming and the system runs fine. I didn't mean for the comment to be this long but ironically after updating the GPU last week I started having thoughts about whether or not I could eventually use the GPU whenever I went to 1440p in the future and then I clicked on this video a week later and ultimately my questions were answered after all lol.

In my opinion people need to make build guides as new parts and generational components come out into the market, to users who aren't as close to the community and come back every few years to upgrade or replace a broken parts will need modern-day guides. So you're not just helping new users to the community but old ones too.

Now do a video on everything that could go wrong when building your own PC. The 3060 12GB is a great GPU for a budget 1440p gaming build. With 12GB, you won't have any VRAM anxiety for at least a couple of years. That was a great price. Used 3060s are going for $200+ on eBay, with EVGA cards generally commanding the most money. Have seen 3060 XCs going for as much as $270 with Samsung VRAM. I check completed sales on a variety of components frequently because I'm trying to get a PC building side gig going. It is important to take those percentile numbers in 3DMark with a grain of salt because they are heavily skewed by all the extreme overclockers using their benchmarks. I prefer Passmark for getting an idea where I stand relative to keeping up with the Joneses. This would be about an 85th percentile machine, which is more realistic because the vast majority of people don't have HEDTs.

The only problem I ever had with MSI was the AIO RMA thingymagig. Other than that, I have no problems with them or the products. In fact, almost all of my builds feature MSI (minus AIO). ps. they replaced my AIO after a while.

I grabbed a perfect condition 3060ti FE (a couple weeks ago for 250$) and while it’s less vram, for high refresh 1080p the higher performance worked better for me personally. Love the card it demolishes max graphics while still maxing out my monitor. Hopefully the 8gb of ram lasts longer than we are anticipating with new releases coming out in the next year or two.

Hey Greg... As a video idea. Could you make a video about bottle necking. What causes it, how to identify it and how to overcome it. Many thanks.

We've had one on the channel for several years! :-)

Glad you buried the hatchet with MSI. All companies make mistakes and their processes are also not always up to the consumer standards, but to blacklist is a bit harsh. They do make some nice components, so glad to see them featured again.

You misunderstand he isn't forgiving their actions he simply acknowledges that if he stops using products from everyone he has a problem with he won't have anywhere to buy parts since they all do F**ked up stuff.

I have that same video card, and it was a very good buy for the power that works great.

With a sky tech i5 RGB pc also selling for about $700 can you do a video review on these and also the ability the upgrade a store purchased pc with more ram, additional M.2 drive or cooler? How upgradable are these low cost pre built gaming pcs by a user?

I would of went AMD AM4 instead of intel. there are a bunch of B550 boards with M.2 slots $100 or less. also a used R7 2700 or 3700x would've rocked that I5 at the same price point or less. and later down the road a 5700X3D or 5800X3D with a better GPU. If your on a budget or use used parts AMD is the best choice over intel and ngreedia

@GregSalazar 3 месяца назад

We've built tons of budget AMD systems lately... just wanted to change it up. Some prefer Intel over AMD. You sound very biased, so I wouldn't take your assertion as gospel.

Nice job Greg. I had to laugh while you were assembling I saw the IO shield going in upside down and then later I thought, "didn't he buy some cable extensions?" lol. I wasn't really laughing at you, but with you, because I've been building computers for 26 years and you could fill a weeks worth of videos on the mistakes I've made :)

7:47 I think I personally would have just stuck with the stock cooler, forgone the custom cables and just put the rest of that budget on a nicer motherboard and a 1 TB M.2

@pryo6382 2 месяца назад

I personally find intel's stock cooler absolutely repulsive. I am more a performance > aesthetic person, but that cooler is an eyesore that would need to be replaced.
