I love the production quality of your videos. I also really like content like this (upgrading, cleaning, trouble shooting). Looking forward to the next installment!
Holy cats, Lauren, what a mess to deal with! I think your choices for changes are very elegant and aesthetically pleasing. Looking forward to seeing what the post problems are. Such a pleasure to see new content from you. Best.
It’s great to see you back! You did an amazing job cleaning up those dirty parts and finding a case that does them justice. Hope to see you on here more often!
Looks like the taking in of viewer's PC's for repairs seems to be a nobel and new trend now, which I totally dig. Greg Salazar is in his 2nd season and even for me being a 14 year PC veteran, I'm always learning something new on what can possibly go wrong with custom builds. Lauren, I highly advise that you start your own viewer PC repair series as it teaches a lot of newbies on how to properly repair a PC. Just make sure you have a lot of extra new and old spare parts for testing purposes. Great work with this one Lauren! 👍
this is why console gamers disgusts me. they have no knowledge of computers and they dotn even know how to build a pc. they should stick with console and leave these high end spec to us PC entheusists,
@@ivisyung3088 Your ignorance is the only disgusting thing, mate. Fun fact, plenty of console gamers become PC enthusiasts and do their research. Just because one guy built a bad looking PC doesn't mean everyone else is the same. You're brain-dead if you think playing console has anything to do with building a bad PC and I say that as a PC enthusiast lmao also TastyPC stated that she was adamant that the PC builder: Chris didn't clean or improve anything before sending it because she wanted to be the one to fix it. The Pc Builder Chris said he built it after a plethora of drugs and alcohol so guess what? THIS IS A TROLL BUILD! And you fell for it like the arrogant PC Peasant that you are 🤭 Your logic is that console games disgust you because they don't know anything about computers but then go on to say they should stick to console? Do you see the contradiction in your statement or are you just as blind as you are arrogant? You PC peasants disgust me, thinking someone shouldn't get involved in PC building just because they prefer a certain gaming platform. If all it takes to disgust you is to find someone who doesn't know how to build a PC and has no interest, then you're gonna be living a very lonely life lmao sit down, take the L and get your arrogant PC Peasant ass out of here.
OMG has he ever cleaned it?!?! Reminds me of my best friends gaming PC I built for him. He called me 2 years later complaining about the PC overheating all the time and first thing I asked him was "Have you ever cleaned it?" Nope, the CPU heatsink was caked with dust and dog hair. Why are people so lazy?
Back in highschool i used to have lan partyes and as i built/found most of my friends pcs I did a dustcheck and clean before we setup. Its amazing how much dust can build up in a short time the more open air you get.
I was happy to see this video pop-up as your channel had been quiet. I appreciate you explaining the reasoning behind the decisions you made in this video as it helped to follow your thought process in solving the many problems the original build had. Coincidentally I also replaced all three of my AIO Water coolers with 3 x Noctua NH-U12a, no regrets!
11:22 removing the motherboard seems to have left a USB header still attached to the backplate? I've not seen that happen before. BTW, check that new USB card isn't affecting the boot, I had one that disabled my network interface once
There's actually an anti-cat accessory that you can get specifically for PC chassis with top mounted power button, it's a sort of clear acrylic flap that is attached with transparent double sided tape around it and covers it up. Or you can tell me how big the button is and how much space there is around it and i can maybe just design one to be 3D printed in the style of the case.
Just a tip: If its an AMD CPU you're trying to remove, always be mindful that it can be stuck on the heatsink. Do some stress test on the CPU or make it reach high temps before powering it off. The added heat will make it easier to remove and eliminate the need for a hair dryer. Then when removing the CPU, unscrew first. Then lightly twist the CPU cooler clockwise/counter-clockwise to loosen the seal between the heatsink and the lid of the CPU. There is no need to press downwards too hard or you will bend the pins. Only sideways motion and not too hard. If you've pulled it out already and it's still stuck, you can use dental floss method.
The easiest method for AMD CPUs (regardless if its warmed up or not) is to unscrew/-hinge the cooler and twist it a bit in the socket in both directions. The cooler should come of very fast, even if you had used some kind of glue as thermal paste. But great video. Very informative and you also have a good speaking speed. My guess for this PC, you forgot to push the power switch at the back of the PSU. :P
Cliffhanger ending!🤣 Now the tenterhooks of "When will part 2 show up? Will part 2 show up?". This channel has so much potential; I'd like to see it fulfilled one day.
This makes me remember when I was 13. I had an old PC with terrible specs including a 128mb graphics card from the late nineties. I desperately wanted to play portal so I spent a week finding ways to make the game less demanding. Eventually I found a tool that let me play it using an earlier version of directx which got me up to 30fps in 360p :D fun times I got a lot of enjoyment out of that shitty PC, emulators were such a revelation when I found out about them, I played most of the N64 library.
Wow, this build looked like someone just threw components inside, some of which stuck in place and it somehow worked, kinda. 😁 Who knew, that all it needed was a woman's touch. Not just any, though.
That build was 100% anxiety inducing just to look at. Hearing that multiple components were completely unsecured while high ticket, modern gear was in there made me say "What the fuck" on more than one occasion. You did a tremendous job fixing his rig.
Hey, just found your channel and really enjoyed the vid. You turned an abysmal build into a proper build of beauty. Looking forward to your trouble shooting vid.
How could anybody look at that and say "Yeah that's good enough"... My current case is from 2014 and while it's in need of upgrade it looks much much better than this. Hopefully next month I'll be able to build a new PC and rebuild my first PC from spare parts. The noise was loose fan blades hitting the front panel... I had same issue with fan when before it died.
entertaining, informative, funny, scary, relieving... and there was even a cliffhanger at the end. what a roller coaster. i liked it - and looking forward to the sequel
I feel like you had the video planned out in your head for it to magically Just Work™ when you turned it on and we'd have a simple happy ending complete with a nice performance bump and benchmarks :D If only tech support was that simple. Good luck fixing it!
As a pc builder who has been building pc's for more than 20 years, watching this made me sick to my stomach. Why was nothing secured with screws?????? What the hell is going on with the fans. Was this dude trying to kill his hardware? Lucky his PCI-E slot didn't get damaged by the GPU sagging.
@@DeadlyDragon935 yep, boutique builders were invented for this guy, essentially he’s just getting Lauren to do the job instead. But it’s bonus content, so all good
Poor Tasty... she pulled a Kyle with that socket change :P Just teasing you, and troubleshooting is the most important part, this is what new users fear the most, glad to see you back to making videos and I hope you are doing well!
Great video and revival of this system, Lauren! Glad to see an upload from you and that you seem to be doing well. Ill be looking forward to the troubleshooting video.
I actually just had the same CPU issue when I was swapping out my EK CPU waterblock for a new Alphacool one. The CPU came out with the block and I bent a bunch of pins on one corner. Nothing that a single edge razor blade won't fix. Just run it down the rows of pins slowly and as it comes to the bent pins it will start to hang up a bit. Slowly wiggle the razor blade slightly to straighten the pins. I've fixed a few this way and I'm sure it won't be my last. I am looking forward to AM5 mainly for this reason as well.
Great Video Lauren 👍 Very satisfying seeing a neglected PC being looked after! Crazy to see a build end up like it was given how many tutorials are freely available online 😅 Hope it boots 😁
I know after 6 years, my poor PC needs a makeover too. Still uses DDR 3. Good to see you back. Edit: Felt so satisfying to see the M.2 drive just get a simple screw in lol.
Yep I had the same problem with my cooler ripping the 5900X out of the socket and bending many pins because of the angle I pulled it up as. I managed to fix the pins. But what I do now is unlatch both sides while applying downward pressure on the cooler to keep it in place. Once the latch mechanisms are undone, I wiggle it back and forth before pulling straight up. It will either come up by itself, or at least not bend any pins if CPU still comes up with it.
I love how it came up! looks slick, i hope this guy will keep it nice and tidy as you put a lot of effort into it! gj! :) (and i wish i could see the end where it boots up :/ )
just stopping the vid at 15:21 to say holy fuck this is good video, yeah I kinda am in love with your voice like most but the care and attention your giving this is unreal, I shall continue!
10:30 Because when you're dismounting radiator from not very fresh thermal paste, you need not to push up, but rotate radiator on the CPU to be sure it's not glued. And always keep pressing on radiator while mounting or dismounting it's brackets.
Came across your channel the other day, you've been doing this awhile. Very well done video, rivals all these other pc tech channels I watch. 👏 And hello from ne montana.
With pin sockets twisting the cooler slightly back and forth before lifting it usually unsticks the CPU from the cooler, preventing it being pulled out with the cooler.
Was the person sleep walking when the pc build took place? Given all the dust that states all the fans were at 1 point functional. Canned compressed air is not the best way to go, as the air freezes up after the 2nd burst. Try 1 of these instead MECO High Pressure Air Duster Blower Computer Cleaner. This little blower makes all the difference! Amazon carries many brand's however found this unit works best after having it a year it still works same as day 1. Good video also !
This was really fun to watch and interesting too. That ending, lol. Also, good to see you back again. I think alot of fans were worried. And best of luck with troubleshooting that PC.👍😎
Always enjoy watching a RU-vidr who actually knows what they are doing and has the guts to leave mistakes in the video, which help people learn and feel less bad about their own skills. I think I have built in an excess of 250 P.C's
I've just recently swapped out my CPU cooler (Noctua low profile) for the Noctua Chromax behemoth, and couldn't be happier. Dropped my temps by almost 20 degrees. It will not go above 50 under load.
Welcome back! Great video, was really groving along with the montage music. The build looks great, hoping you can get it up and running smooth. I've got a black and white build and now that I have a new gpu (finally), I've been thinking about more ways to tie everything together. My mobo has similar orange accents on it i've been wondering how to cover well and the vinyl trick should work perfect. Got a similar Chromax shroud on my CPU cooler and i'm definitely thinking about swapping the black pads on the fan for white ones now. Looking forward to the troubleshooting video and in case you still haven't figured out the problem yet, good luck!
Lol the jokes are on point in this video. Also really like the unconventional music choice compare to other tech videos on RU-vid. I also pulled my Ryzen CPU out from the socket before as well and it was so scary. Really enjoyed watching this. Looking forward to part 2! These viewer PC troubleshooting/rebuilding videos are very fun to watch. Greg Salazar does a lot of these and they're always super fun to watch. I hope to see more of these from Tasty PC and don't ever lose all the quirks.
warm the cpu up a little first before removing cooler and when you remove one side (or 2 screws) twist the cpu cooler whilst pushing downwards. This breaks the seal that can sometimes occur with the thermal paste. never had a cpu pop out since I started doing it this way.
I've missed your videos. I'm really happy to see you filming again. I think that you really have a unique style to your content. I look forward to hopefully seeing you presenting us with them once again.
Good to see you back Lauren great camera work not easy trying to film in a PC but what a transformation to the PC from what you had a much better build. I'm sure you will trouble shoot it ok. It's not easy using used components as when removed and refitted can sometimes lead to problems as this has shown. Looking forward to the next video and find out why it didn't boot up.
Okay now this is something I have never seen before, I thought mine was bad but jeezz haha. Great video anyway and glad you helped a fellow pc user out!
Lauren, so lovely to hear your voice again! I literally just pulled out another Ryzen CPU yesterday, with the same result. It came out with the cooler, although I don't think any pins are damaged. Fingers crossed! When will we get to see your beautiful face again! I miss the old reviews you used to do! Long time fan! Cheers!
