We built a computer wrong on PURPOSE! 

Chris Minors yes

You forgot to spray an air can on the mother board.

LOL

yes

i hope you're joking

@@mtljx Even forgot to show support for cancer patients. smh

Pro tip: match your rgb for max performance. And remember to set them red cause green is the eco mode

James Xiao he probably also forgot to screw with confidence 😢

Also, no brace. It has to be hammered in.

DeckerFI also, yes, we got really fast 2666mhz memory

They probably used this as their tutorial

Did not realize he did this video a month ago... Dang verge, dang lol

rikara honestly kinda does lol more organized clutter than just clutter clutter ya know

@@Punched0 iknow right

It's horrifying that what you say is true...

Ha! Ha! Good one! First thing you need in a Verge build is a table... no it ain't... first thing you need is a roll of carpet 😄😂

at least Jay assembled it in a better order than what The Verge did

He even forgot what the Verge waffles on: a Livestrong bracelet, a thermal paste applicator, and a CPU applicator. LMFAO

He also forgot to fight cancer

Herro Lyle

YES

At least Jayztwocents was being transparent about his actions in this video albeit was for demonstration and testing purposes. What The Verge did was incompetent and to a certain degree perhaps even unethical

IxtR4kt guys comon. The power supply shorts the system...

I got this video recommended next to the now infamous Verge video, no joke.

Wow, come to think of it, they really did do a better job than this video. For one thing, Jay actually screwed all 4 of his screws into his cooler!

yeah

Omg i just realized that..

@@Jxhnny77 I'd imagine so

Because he thought he was doing it right

It less cringey because he did it on purpose, not in spite of it

He said a lot of different kinds of ram.

That's not alot XD

@@sir_duckington1245 are you sure about that

@@brandon4801 it's a joke lol

That's like nothing. Go to Linus Tech Tips yt Channel he used 2TB.

Use coconut oil

use motor oil

LOL

@@hrmn4694 verge, not vogue. And nothing to do with politics. People would just let it go if they acknowledge their mistake instead of blaming others for criticising something that clearly their fault.

This. I get the point of the video and I agree with Jay about enthusiasts/experts scaring away novices from trying their first build, but he should have pointed out that he's using premium/high end parts that are well-built - parts that could actually take a bit of punishment/mishandling without immediately breaking anything. Most novices might skimp on a part or two with disastrous consequences (e.g. most novices have a tendency to go for cheap cases and the crappy PSUs that came with them.)

DiabloTECH (yes that is a real PSU brand) would be perfect for this. They're the company that taught me all I need to know about cheaping out on a PSU.

i dont think the point was to put bad components in that either just dont work or will break your computer, but to do the building process wrong, with good components

Should have tried a 230W PSU haha

Ironically one of the more generic looking brands that people buy is Great Wall which just screams in both looks and branding as being a hazard but guess what? *closer, whispering* Most of the big brands like Corsair and Thermaltake use Great Wall PSUs with fancier outer casings.

Yeah, I don't see a problem with that...

I've done that for a monitor stand once

I've done that several times, also on laptops

Bruh I used it on pipe work

It works perfectly fine. What's your point? Maybe he should have tightened those screws with bare hands.

Seriously. Now I'm thinking that I can actually build a pc even though I mess up everything that I touch.

It literally came out 2 weeks later 😂

They did it worse tho

Be sure to make a video about the result. Muahahaha! (Gets popcorn and hides in a dark corner)

It'll never go above ambient temp again.

mamagame yeah best temps ever

Lol, good one. But I seriously hope no crazy person tries this. I had a friend who had his computer go crazy while trying to update bios and in the end after he shut it off it was a brick. Sad story. Though for what ever reason they still fixed it for free.

Would not do anything on my Mobo since I have 2 BIOS chips! Wait... 2 updates is better than one... how about I unplug the PSU when I update the BIOS on the backup chip :D.

*left*

its a joke but he having wife and kids - kind of cringe tbh 😅

@@marcilloferente8393 who says the wrong hole has anything to do with his wife?

@@hireahitCA Probably the fact that he has a kid. So he must've found the right hole at some point in their marriage. Badumtss

are you saying the motherboard shouldn't be screwed into the case?

This is quite frankly the most probable fuck-up that causes the most damage.

I was under the impression the motherboard should be mounted outside the case. Was I mistaken in this?

lol you use a case? connect all that shit and trow it behind your desk. ezzz

I actually did that on my first build, only used 2 screws as well. Still works.

blow on it and spit by accident ;)

Doing my last build it was the hottest day of the year and it was about 34 degrees in the room I was building and I had sweat drop on the board, twice. Thankfully it was fine.

bruh where u at thats the hottest day ? here in az the highs are in 100s, sunday will be 107 btw: 34c is 93 fahrenheit

UK, yeah I know it's hardly much but no AC and since we're not used to that kind of weather.

bruh how u got no A/C that's a gamechanger i'd prolly be sweating balls in 93 with no ac too house turns into a furnace lmfao

Kristopher Phillips the plastic killed me. The video was awesome though. Lol

The mis-matched RAM was what I was most interested in.

all of it, the system just sync's to the lowest speed

Ask the Verge

u can see 24GB on bios screen

By choosing the lowest compatible timing....

Called us nerds after uttering " I'm not doing so well" well benching lol. Mistakes are forgivable is attitude was not. Were it not for " nerds" then the verge would not exist..

It went probs down like this: Verge needs somebody that can build a PC and finds some dude among his staff members. Staff member guarantees he knows how to build it, although deep down he lacks 100% of the knowledge and barely made a pc in the past. Verge says dope and they start filming after spending 2K (!) on all of the parts. The video is a flop. Now of course the staff member who promised the Verge that he knows and that made them spend 2K on a build won't apologize online. He has to defend his job, so obviously he says he's right and we are wrong. His reputation among the people around him would have been much worse had he apologized. Note the folks around him have clearly no clue at all about PCs

You should definitely follow the Verge build, because putting one RAM stick in A2 slot and the other in B2 slot is proven best practice. And also definitely listen to him when he said that you can just put the graphics card in whichever slot you think looks nicest, because 8x vs 16x is overrated anyways. Oh and ALWAYS wait to put your CPU in last when you have the least amount of free space, because making sure you put it in the right way is also overrated. Oh yeah, and you should definitely spend 2000$ on a PC build and then consider upgrading to RTX cards right afterwords. Truer words have never been spoken since Toms hardware said JUST BUY IT! And make sure you buy one of he's wireless anti-static wrist bands, have to get me one of those! I'm so disappointed the comment section on that video has been disabled :'( I'd love to applaud him for being "brave" enough to do it like you want to do it, instead of doing whats right. :P

fuck it, might as well go for x4 slot. also make sure the board has a cpu holder in it to hold all your cores properly

Gotta admit the PSU looked much sleeker mounted backwards.

The verge is worse

Also used all the thumb screws for the cpu water block, didn't drown the cpu in thermal paste, didn't nerd out about having gotten their hands on an ordinary mundane cpu, didn't use a silicon rubber "for the cure" bracelet, didn't call zip ties tweezers, and used all necessary standoffs(rip m.2 nvme ssd).

When he said *"That it **_"hopefully"_** has a screwdriver"* I literally lost my shit.

-Put the CPU in before putting the motherboard into the case.

Applied only one layer of paste.

Using a CPU applicator is perfectly acceptable, except how "The Verge" did it. When the guy said to add more thermal paste because the factory doesn't use enough, I almost lost my shit lol. I'm among the minority that spreads thermal paste on manually (because OCD) so I know 100% of the heatspreader is covered nice and evenly.

He should have used his keys! That's my go to for opening boxes. Cause it's conveniently always on my belt loop.

someone has been watching some AvE vidgeos

He could have at least cut up the top of the case, opening the box.

@@colossalbreacker Aaaaaaaaaaand TIME!

Yeah or at least a hatchet as per AvE standards

Jay should post this on CL, ask an outrageous price, and send the ad over to Science Studio.

Haha that Was a Nice one

@Mike now that's meta

It be like that sometimes.

I have actually had bent pins once... Bent them back and everything was fine.

@@Outland9000 same

First you need a Thermal Paste applicator to do that and you need to be holding it in a cpu installation tool

Its almost like this video was necessary because people still act like they're building with components made of sugar glass in 2019 and freak the fuck out in the comments when they see builders touching pins and PCBs. Its almost like you missed the entire fucking point. On no wait. Thats exactly what its like. Amazing.

I've built pc's back in the mid to late 90's with no issues wearing a sweater and no anti-static wristband. People are just stupid and we old timers love proving that to be the case.

@@christophervanzetta I think the static fears probably came from computer building pre 1990s. Like you, I've never had any issues with static.

@@tikoblocks3224 Still doesn't make sense but OK

@@tikoblocks3224 LMFAO! Because static discharge doesn't affect mobo components. Too low of amperage. It's a myth to sell overpriced junk for idiot's

Mike Oleksa Hah thanks. And i can’t wait to get this rig up and running, just need the memory now.

you think thats bad? how about b350 with a 1080ti?

Bryan de Paepe haha I almost forgot that

Well there goes my idea for the Swiss Cheese build...

yea, if you're lucky the spot you can drill into is the ideal spot to use for whatever you had in mind, but otherwise it's a not a good idea. I'd be fully amused if he drilled into his though.

Maximum airflow

or massively over-tightening the screws holding the board so it snaps =)

For some reason. Pro Wrestling became that necessity after just a few short months from when my older brother got it for Christmas. Zelda 1 also in the golden original cartridge.

make sure you are wearing a live strong rubber bracelet to ground you when you blow the RAM

@@heinzerbrew - Nah. Just gotta rub it really fast on the carpet. Any hairs or lint that stick to it help it connect better.

@PorgMcNuggets To be honest, all that hair and lint will increase your thermals. You should probably put liquid metal on the ram to keep it cool. If you're on a budget regular thermal paste will work but won't look as cool.

@@heinzerbrew - Thermal paste? Nah, I just use Icy Hot in the socket and spray a little antifreeze on the motherboard.

Yeah how could he do that? It's still not enough

True, you'd never be able to connect your usb clothes dryer to it.

I uh... I do have 1200 watts. I realized a long time ago it was beyond overkill, but is it really that bad?

@@lyingriotman2220 No lol. It's completely fine.

@@Nighterlev Alright then, lol. I've just got 700 watts sitting on the back burner for a while then.

Very funny LMAO Right where is all the XDDDDDD LMAOO

Can you give tips for putting the cpu in the motherboard? Like does it have to click in? Or do you just put it there?

Should I try this. I'll try it next time I wake up, that will be in like 5 hours so yeah

@Mic Spam God are you still alive?

HunterDragon127➜ shhhhh lel

Starubikal there is a sense of pride and accomplishment that’s difficult to explain when you finish your first build. Just being able to sit back and watch it post for the first time, and saying to yourself, “I made this work.” It’s incredible.

The only one thing that scares me is getting a faulty component/s

The worst thing that will happen if you get faulty components is that you have to wait a little longer. I agree with Ben, watching your PC boot into it's OS for the first time is a fantastic feeling. Let us know how it goes!

Starubikal just built my friend his computer, it’s nothing to be afraid of, in fact, I usually get nervous at the start of the build and at the moment before you start it up, the rest of the time is really relaxing.

just be careful, do not rush, check your manuals, and the rest is just like a lego

Yes someone else knows about c19

I'm surprised he didn't know that.

I was going to throw this out there too. You see this more in data centers, typically not consumer hardware. If someone builds a system that is pulling 1600watts I would also hope they are plugged into a 20A circuit or dedicated 15A.

I said the same thing. Though i wonder what he'd say if he saw a NEMA 6-20 or a NEMA L6-30.

LMFAO

10:23 car broke down

lmao xD

I don't think they did. If they had the Verge wouldn't have messed up so terribly. This video repeatedly said *don't* do this. Actually the folks over at the Verge probably don't speak English very well so I've changed my mind. I don't think they followed it, I *KNOW* they did!

Adrian make sure it's just a metal block with zero labeling and ketchup and mustard cables

Should have used Diablotek lol

Or an Insignia power supply. You can pick those up from any best buy.

the difference between what not to do and what is stupid to do.

First ever build i had to RMA my cheap Biostar mobo & Diabolotek power supply. Learned early on those are two components not to cheap out on. Thermaltake 600w going strong on 5 years now along with the replacement biostar which i still use 😂

You can do them and the pc would still work lmao,if you don’t want your pc to work kick the shit 😆

Dont forget the Allen keys and twizzers XD

swiss army knife that hopefully has a philip screw driver. new word Allen Wrench not key

I messed with more than a few system using a swiss army knife. It was all I had available on short notice and it worked better than expected.

Nah just screw eveything in with the tip of a knife.

butter knife that is way too thick...and if you aren't bleeding in the end, you didn't do it right.

im on it brother if it means i can cap a buttery 15 frames per second in fallout 4 im down

Nah you have to delete the windows folder on your C drive if you want a significant performance boost.

A french youtuber installed a toilet seat on histoire computer for april's fools...

Pranjal Jain I noticed the same... actually in Europe this plug can supply up to 3600W in europe because of the higher voltage, as the limit is on the current not power. We use C13/14 plugs up to 2000W...

And that's why I scroll through the comments and then search for a keyword (PSU). Glad someone had commented about the C19/C20 before :-)

me to an it always works

Ditto...

I intentional built my first PC on carpet with socks on posted first try best part was it was LIVE.

I've never stowed extra cables in the case, though with PSU shrouds being standard these days...

I was gonna say I always place my power supply with the fan facing up and I have no issues XD

he so dad joke and those mandles but love him so much and *taren and dennis are my fav*

Hey, could you do us a favor and go back to stop the Verge video from being made?

DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM. I'm from the future where that video was never made. Humor ceased to exist, Russia took over, dogs and cats started living together... Mass hysteria! It turns out that garbage Verge build saved humanity.

heh had my aio bust and killed everything but the gpu soundcard hard drives and psu.

I had a PSU literally blow up and shoot sparks out the back of the case until I unplugged it...nothing damaged but the PSU lol

actually nzxt's build setup is really good value if you do go the system builder route since their warranty and service is only $99 and msrp parts which is really nice for gpu and ram price increases though now they are going down was super killer a few months ago when they first launched their bld system building.

and forgot to put thermal paste between the socket and cpu!

use mayo instead of thermal paste

@@MarioAndWeegee3 I use water tbh. I just empty a bottle of water on my cpu.

VoxelFusion rubbing the anti static bag on the carpet or even worse the board directly can produce enough charge to short stuff. Static will kill stuff sometimes.

I'll take your word for it, not like I'll try to verify on my own lol.

yeah, but I like rubbing ICs. They're never dead anyway, unless you toast them.

Rubbing the anti-static bag on carpet won't do anything since it's electrically conductive by design. It literally is a plastic bag treated with metal vapor.

This is more of a concern in areas with low humidity. If you get half-inch arcs touching door knobs on a regular basis it is a good idea to wear the strap-on.

If you're really worried then just remember that I dropped my GPU onto hard metal and my CPU onto a table twice...still fine.

@@Gamesfan34260 Ditto. Dropped my Gtx 970 from a standing position onto hard wood floor. Bit of a scrape in the card but it still runs flawlessly

generalg 02 he actually wanted it to post still. That would definately lead to frying

well.. you could still fuck up by washing and build the computer before letting it dry

Or they make it non-refundable so u have to buy more than one

My friend didn't connect extra power cable to a gts250 and it fried. Maybe it wasn't the reason and it was already broken, I don't know, but I would have no idea it even needs extra power if the vendor didn't tell me. It could happen to any experienced overly confident builder.

Read Newegg reviews. SOMETHING is happening to all that hardware.

Except if you live somewhere cold DO NOT plug in a pc, or any peripherals for that matter, that has been sitting outside in a car or something immediately after you entered your home. My uncle managed to fry his monitor because of that.

YES ,i burned at server motherboard doing that :( .

my mom did that on her first computer build. i got her all the parts while i was over in the desert when my parents' computer died and sent her a tutorial on what to do and instructions with the old hard drive, but as soon as she powered it on, NOGO...

You just reminded me that I am fairly certain my motherboard is still missing a standoff somewhere. I mean it was sturdy when I built it just not that sturdy :)

ouch dunno who that hurt more

My first completely new build when I was a teenager I completely shorted out because I didn't use any standoffs :( Blue flash, then...nothing

Thingy KD when I got my case for Christmas.. my step dad was gonna help me move my pc into case because I never done that before... The first thing he did was peel the plastic off the side panel ... it pissed me off so much xD but in the end I had to do everything myself . He was gonna put the mother board in without adding the screws or whatever that keeps board from touching the case ... I had no clue about pc but some how I knew that was bad idea xD so yeah did everything myself . And he likes to spread thermal paste on cpu instead of the pea method . He insisted I do what he said but hey . My pc work better then his in terms of his crashing and mine not 😂😂😂to this day . My side panel and my thoughts collide into a deep depression when I wish I didn't ask for help Xd
