Thank you for all the love in the comment section. I didnt think it would be so well received so maybe ill so similar videos in the future. Gotta spice things up once in a while or we all going to grow old and boring. 😉
i was watching this and wondering "what is going on with him. is he high?" then it got to the point where he F'ed up and had to redo it all over again. that's when i realized that the delirium was a combination of exhaustion, frustration, and good 'ol lead fume poisoning.
oh nice a mobo repair. there's this german guy who only does mobo repairs on youtube, I love watching his work. there's lot of debugging that goes to troubleshooting a mobo, always interesting to watch.
you are mazing not only gpu's but also motherboards. world need people like you. And you never give up even if it takes ages to fix something you keep going until you find the fix. Best fixer by far and best channel by far.
LOL Amazing explanation of MANY electronic terms, Chad! Oh, sir?. Looks good enough. 👍 edit - as Lous Rossmann said (many times) - THERE IS NO THING AS TOO MUCH FLUX!
This had me laughing and smiling the whole time. You are a magician You make this look like pumping gas, so simple. People that have tried to do this know it's damn near impossible.
I thought I was watching a high level electronics troubleshoot & repair, but in between the video felt like I was about to see a bass slapping war. . ..already slapped the like button before the video even hit the 10 seconds mark though cause I enjoyed every video from NWR . . .
Good timing on this video, because I just ruined a new MB last week. A bit of thermal compound got in the socket, and in trying to clean it out under a digital microscope I just made it far worse. I already bought a replacement, but I still have the bad one so at some point I will try replacing the socket.
I slapped the like button an uneven number of times, and now its not ticked... So I ticked it again to be sure I liked it =D Similarly, I unsubscribed and resubscribed several times following the instructions to smack the subscribe button - luckily that count there ended up remaining subscribed! Very cool video as usual, funny too and very open and honest about the number of attempts it took!
That was incredibly informative. Q: Does the replacement socket have to be the same as the original? A: (Leo-AI answer) "Conclusion In summary, when replacing a CPU socket on a motherboard, the replacement socket must be identical to the original, matching the motherboard’s design and the CPU’s requirements. Any attempts to interchange or modify the socket can lead to compatibility issues and potential damage to the system." (Just in case some were wondering.) ^_^
This is how I make extra cash. Last week, Linus spilled the beans on buying broken mobos from eBay and repairing them. Now you're showing how the repair is done. At this point, I'm not going to be able to buy cheap broken mobos.
Still would require ungodly amounts of investment of specialized tools no average person would ever get. I think you would still be able to get your broken mobos
Agreed! I run a rtx 3060 12g and yet i hardly ever see him working on them. Guess the 4090 are just total garbage and need repaired more often! I love this host and his humor!!
Another top notch video, have a board here that a friend killed trying to build his first PC, for his sister, Might try and do a socket switch and see if I can get it working.
that was hilarious, you have outdone yourself. I giggled all the way through that, i slapped the like button and punched the subscribe (twice, I was subbed already)
Awesome work as always ..at my job sometimes it takes those guys 3 trys to get a PCH properly soldered on and not killed by heat. I wonder what weird video we are gonna get for halloween lol
""Our CPU sockets repair are like teenager socks: At first wet and hot, but then solid hard and we can repair it using only one internet video as help""
5:10 was hard to watch XD Continuing to cement your legend status. I wish there was a second channel with the unedited clips of the repairs so we could really see everything. Nonetheless, as always, amazing video
Recently I lost my trusty Z370 Mainboard from 2017 due to ruined socket pins. In my case, it was micro-fiber rubbing off some thermal paste dropped between socket and left VRM. To my horror, it snatched up some pins... just like your Qtip. I wish you were nearby... xD
This has been one of the best repair videos I've ever watched! I loved the deadpan humor and all the edits! Just one question... do you slap or use a pick?
Thanks for the video. I realize that the temperatures are different on each piece of equipment but I wish you would have at least given us an idea what temperature you had to start with. I have no idea how you managed to take off the socket without having any of the smaller capacitors in the center move. I've ruined at least 6 or 8 trying to do this and finally gave up. Thanks again for the video.
This seems to have become a common problem with some tech repair youtubers, including NWR - they start to go too deep into the "entertainment" zone while omitting most of the actually useful information, relevant to those coming here not just to be entertained, but to also learn something. An endless stream of memes and clowning around, but pretty much zero educational value. Feels like I've just watched a cringy commercial for a tech repair business. From what I've heard, proper CPU socket replacement is a pretty complex procedure that is usually performed not with a dumb preheater under the board, but on a fine-tuned preheating station with a set of well developed and tested "profiles". That's probably why many novices fail and give up after destroying multiple boards... it's not just about "the temperature to start with" - supposedly the "proper" tools use "time/temperature" curves that specify what temperature is reached at what time, for both the preheater and the top heating element, and it should be quite precise cause too little heat is bad, too much heat is bad, heat applied for too long is bad, and applied for not long enough is also bad. So many things can go wrong during a socket replacement job, so this seems to be a procedure requiring just the right tools, set up with the right profiles, and then lots and lots of practice to start getting it right. Unfortunately there was nothing educational in this video on the subject, just horsing around. I don't even understand why, cause adding some useful bits of information here and there wouldn't hurt the overall narration, and it's not like most of the viewers would attempt socket replacement on their own anyway, so sharing those basic details like the preheater and top heating element temperatures and application times wouldn't suddenly make the author lose potential customers.
