Yeah it’s not an exaggeration to say he has 10-15x more product on his shelf’s than every computer store in my city. And that’s before the component shortage.
I'd prefer to watch the box opening since I don't watch these to learn it (already know all that). I watch em for the fun of putting a PC together because mines already built and I don't get to build for anyone else
I totally get this. Felt the same way with SloMoGuys when they made those big production videos with RU-vid. Lost all of the "you and us only", seat of the pants, in my parents' garage feel. However, for this kinda stuff I sometimes lean the other way. I have a lot of stuff to do and like the efficiency of some of those filler bits being removed. I think a good balance can be struck somewhere with the editing.
Unboxing is definitely more inclusive to the experience especially when you're commentating your opinions as to why you like the products or why you don't. Doing an awesome job Kyle.
Unboxing as I usually have question about what's in the box (extra cables, brackets, screws, fans etc) and seeing it opened for 30 seconds gives me confidence that my setup will work.
The real reason that GPU prices are so high: Major brands thinking that they have product in the inventory, but in reality their product branding and marketing managers sent it to Kyle and he never reviewed it... Jokes aside, this has to be the most realistic PC build I have seen on RU-vid. It includes unboxing all the parts, realising you had no idea if they were suitable until you went to build, the "Arrrghs!" and associated frustrated sounds before constructing something that Kyle himself would roast mercilessly. You cant get more real than that.
@@Gri77ly Bought a 5700XT to replace my GTX 680 on launch for 400€, sold for 600€ and bought a 6800XT for 1000€ and enjoy it since over half a year now. So 400€ per upgrade, can't complain too much in this climate XD
When i wanted to remove a cooler last week ofcourse the cpu (3800X) came with it out of the socket.. and when trying to remove the CPU from the cooler i dropped it "Linus style'. Luckily only 2 pins where slightly bent and i could bent them back using the socket.
I feel like this is the ultimate insult. A show as yo why we shouldn't be giving youtubers so much attention. If we hadn't made this mistake as a community we wouldn't be fighting for GPUs and CPUs right now
Kyle picking his case was literally me in microcenter for every build I've ever done. I stand there talking to myself about the case for at least 10 minutes
10 minutes? I'd spend hours watching/reading reviews before stepping in the store, and could spend another hour mumbling to myself over the pros & cons of any number of cases lol
@@gypsy6211 all the prep work in the world vanishes as soon as everything is in front of me though lol even if I'm not in the market for one, they pull me in as I walk by. "If I were to swap to this one I could (fill in the blank)"
@@MarioP495 try building mITX, it's nothing But prep work and forgetting anything means starting from scratch for everything. ATX is soo easy in comparison.
I remember Bitwit using the Sniper X RAM sticks in a 2019 or 2020 build. Quick edit, I tracked down the video he used the RAM sticks on and it’s the “all you need for 1500$ or something”.
- vertical mount a gpu for each system. aio on upper one (rearmount) - 360mm aio for atx system (topmount), 280mm aio for itx system (frontmount) - max out every slot as much as you can, fill all sata ports all ram slots all pcie slots all i/o headers etc - rgb fans all spots if possible
For these vlog-style videos, I feel that seeing the unboxing adds to the experience. When you add to the bottom, I'd like to see if you can fit any fans at the bottom as well as a GPU.
I think I could cobble a couple together, keep all my old bits and pieces and upgrade piecemeal. Think i'd need new cases and especially a PSU as mine has migrated through many builds over a decade.
When we were buying our house, my wife's main selection criteria was a walk-in closet in the main bedroom. My wet dream is to have a house with a man's cave with a nice walk-in parts storage closet like Kyle does :D Its like having a private Microcenter :D
I'm pretty sure the reason why the CPU temps are high is due to the fact that when you did the push pull for the aio, the fans at the back were intake while the fans in the front were exhuast. If you fix that, by making all the fans intake, it should improve temps.
As I did with my Neo Qube, you can use an SFX PSU and a Flex PSU for a dual build. You don't need the Revolt X. All you need is a small hole in the SFX to ATX bracket and pass a power cable through to the flex PSU inside. Or do as I did, get a Flex PSU that comes with a pre-wired extension cable and screw the plug end of that into a Silverstone SFX-ATX bracket. Some metal clipping needed but looks great when done.
it hurts to see all these high end parts laying around, I know most of them are getting used but the ones that are not getting used gives me the feeling to rescue them :,(
@@cultz9540 I seriously would I paid $540 for my asus 1070ti strix and I'd mail it to someone for free in a heartbeat to get a newer card. My whole pc is from the last year or so. Would be nice for the card to be that new too.
Quick tip Kyle, the efficiency rating of a power supply doesn't affect how much power is delivered to the system, it is constant at 650W on the 12V rail. It will just pull more wattage from the wall. IE 80% will draw 812W where as 85% will draw 764W. So no mental math necessary
Lots of places out here in the midwest are getting crowds of people swarming a Best Buy for 3 generation old tech shipments and this guy has a lifetime supply of PC equipment that's not even being used. Bro you sir are lucky to have stocked up. God bless.
Sounds like you need an intern, Kyle lol. And yes, watching you open and put together the P.C. feels more intimate between content creator and viewers in my opinion.
If ever you feel like granting an old man his wish. 51 years old this year and never owned a gaming pc, ever. Only pc I ever owned was a Commadore 128 back in 1980 something which I connected to the tv and had Karate Champ. Been a console gamer since Super NES. Owned an Xbox 360 just play Halo. Bought every PlayStation that has come out including PS5. I’m just amazed at just how much more enjoyable a game can get with mods. Love watching Arma gameplay but the first time a saw a mod of Arma called DayZ, I was blown away. Anyway! Wishful thinking. Enjoying your vids. Very relaxing watching the builds.
While selecting the GPU as he was saying he didn't want to pair a low end card with the build, I was shouting YOU DAMN PICKED A 16GB KIT OVER A 64GB!!!
Hearing you talk about getting a bad application of thermal paste after lifting the heatsink after applying makes me think I've never done it right because I can never get those AMD clamps right on the first try.
I prefer to see you struggle and open the boxes. Also, Its just nice to see whats inside thebox when you first open it, it helps to just see what its like inside the box. A lot of unboxings just skip that part.
Kyle: at 32:04 you can see you installed the radiator fans in a Pull/Pull config, where the fans are fighting themselves. Not sure if you fixed it and that’s why your temps dropped 20c, but definitely should be pointed out so others don’t make the same mistake.
Also maybe another idea, for the second systems aio you should do another push-pull 240mm and mount it diagonally, that way it’ll look nice and you get to use another 240mm aio.
Yeah, unbox as you go. I'd like to see it if I were building it myself. Maybe someone wants to see the contents of the package to know what they're getting.
idk why but for me the the way Kyle throws super expensive pc components it gives confidece in bulding a pc becuase is shows that some of the components are more durable than they look
One of my computers has an Enthoo Pro "Tempered Glass" case, and I must say it is the nicest (and largest) case I have ever worked with (the CoolerMaster MB "TD500" Mesh that I used for the son of a relative being the second nicest one).
That video of the dual pc is actually why I got the entho case and it is a great case also have many upgrade options Thank you btw :) maybe I will post it one day
Like seeing all kinds of pc gaming stuff in the videos u guys make its all new to me I wish could afford to build my own someday 🙏🙏🙏 "so keep on doing the great work"
For push pull from Ltt's testing and my own you want to use differnt fan blade types for push from pull to reduce turbulance. I was using NF12x25's on one side and the Nf12x15s on the other for pull and it worked great! Got on average 2c less! lol its never going to be much but the rpms are 400 less
When you're building a pc from parts that you've not used before then it makes sense to show you opening the box for the first time to get the parts out and use them.
my got, just turn the radiator with in/out pipes donwside, so the pump stops cycling air inside of the waterblock ... just a basic misstake when ppl are screwing the AIO performances
