      It's easy to miss things when your mounting plates can install several ways. I had to keep double checking when I upgraded my 3900x Ryzen from the stock cooler to a Arctic Freezer 50. Then when I was sure everything was good the backplate was loose so I thought I had something wrong. I put the heatsync on loosely without thermal paste and it looked right and so I put my dot of paste down and started screwing it down. As it pulled to the cpu the spring you missed pulled it tight and it was was seated. I think you got the mounting plates backwards and so it couldn't touch the cpu properly. Back in ancient times when I started building it would probably have immediately fried the chip and you'd be out a ton of money. Modern mother boards are so easy because most things are keyed in the plugs and the things that aren't won't blow up if you get it wrong, plus the wonderful cpu overheat fail safes😎

    I really enjoyed seeing Anna build this with zero input from others. Goes to show you can miss things easily, even with a great manual. Instead of showing her the error, I think it would have been good to see if she could fix it herself and/or call support. I'm pleasantly surprised at the lengths nzxt went to make a kit like this. Great job, Anna! Hope we get to see more of you in the future, now that you're a pro :)

      Thank you!! It was a really fun experience. As for diagnosing the error, I wasn’t fully confident about my cpu cooler mounting. Something about it hadn’t felt right… I was close to calling customer support just before we checked the bios and confirmed my doubts. I was also lucky to have Dawid there who could confirm the issue was with the CPU cooler. Thanks for watching though :)

      @blahorgaslisk7763 Před 2 lety +4

      Writing good manuals is hard, especially when targeting end users. The thing is you can't assume anything about what they know, and just hope their reading comprehension is at least decent. So you write the instructions as if it was for morons, while carefully trying to make it not entirely obvious that's what you are doing as it will make some users mad knowing they are treated to instructions intended for the less cerebral amongst us. At the same time you have to make the text flow so people feel compelled to keep reading even when they feel things are so obvious that they can handle it without the instructions. That's why often the users with some prior knowledge are the most dangerous. The total newbie who can't even start to fool themselves into thinking they've got this are he ideal audience. They will read and follow the instructions to the letter while the one with some prior knowledge is far more likely to just skip ahead and potentially miss a important step. But again you can't let the customers feel you are treating them like idiots because then they WILL skip ahead just in spite. "You think you can get away with treating me like and idiot? I'll show you who's the idiot here!" And then they at best spend twice the time trying to find out why it doesn't work, or at worst break something expensive. But I'm not holding that against them as I know I've done things like that myself. All the author can do is try to keep the instructions interesting to read while not sounding infantile or condescending.
      I've written some instructions like these and I'm always surprised by how short attention span most people have when it comes to following instructions. Watching the video of someone following my instructions can have me wanting to scream at the screen shouting instructions, usually it boils down to things like "But just read the instructions, it's all in there. Look it says exactly how to do that step for step. Please I wrote that extremely carefully. READ IT. IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME!" I guess it's a bit like how some sports fanatics watch matches on the TV, just a bit more personal as every time someone fails to follow the instructions it's because I failed when writing them...
      The manual from NZXT seems to be very heavy on the pictures and diagrams and light on text, and if you can swing it that's usually much more efficient than walls of text. Also a good and light structure with ordered and bullet lists helps people follow along in the instructions.
      There are probably a lot I don't know about the secrets of writing good instruction manuals as I only wrote a few and never looked back. It didn't help that my boss thought writing a complete system manual was something that I could do in a week or so...

    In these videos (tech-tubers having others build) two things become apparent.
    1: NZXT did a great job with the instruction booklets.
    2: NZXT needs to tweak a few things.
    I saw one video where the paste was discarded accidentally (I think it was Jayz' video), and in this one Anna ended up putting the brackets on the wrong side. Both of these are examples of how difficult it can be to catch things that experts consider obvious. E.g. obviously the bracket is on the wrong way, and you obviously shouldn't discard the small packet with paste.

      I met my husband in an MMO about 15 yrs ago. So we had gaming/PC stuff in common. I also was super into Camaros, old muscle cars, building fiberglass speaker boxes, and goin to the beach at night. He liked building absurd bike ramps, skateboarding, hunting…
      The real trick is to keep ur hobbies, but find things u can both enjoy (tolerate hahah).
      Chances are she doesn’t even realize u actually want her to join in, or if she has kids-she’s too drained from parent stuff, maybe she’s worried u might laugh at her.. so many possibilities.
      Sry. It’s none of my business, I just felt bad for u cause u have that “grass is always greener” talk. That’s just gonna become a self fulfilling prophecy unless u challenge the way u think about & approach about this kinda stuff. Take care!

    I had to look away because I almost spit my water on my keyboard when you lifted that CPU cooler up!
    I think this is a really cool concept for NZXT to do. So many people feel overwhelmed when I say that (in normal times) it's much better to build your own PC. When I built my first many years ago, I just did a lot of reading. Building a PC today is far, far easier than it used to be. Also there are less tacky builds than back in the day. If this is a success, it would be nice to open up PC building to more people in a way like this. Once you do a bit of reading, watch a YT video, and do your first build, you'll feel accomplished and have more confidence in yourself. You are all capable of building your own PC! And then having to spend more time working on RGB than actually playing games.

    One thing Anna did much better than I ever have is the cable management! Having three sata drives connected DOESN'T help, but I'm sure if she had those too she'd have presented it nicer than I've managed to.

    So, because the heatsink and fan wasnt making any contact with the cpu, the computer was crashing.
    Dell, on the other hand, only considers a cpu "overheating" when the computer is crashing.
    Conclusion: for a Dell to be overheating it literally need to have NO heatsink/fan.
    (If your fan dies but you still have a big heatsink, i think it will still throttle massively but not crash).
    Maybe a video idea for Dawid 🤔

      I built my mom a little pc out of
      My leftover parts and after a while she started complaining it was slow and hard to do anything with. I finally was over and checked it out. The cpu was running at 73c and throttling back dog slow. I looked it over and one of the heatsync mounts was broken and it wasn't really tight on the cpu any more. I didn't have another one with me and so eventually I found a twist tie and cranked the loose side down with that. It dropped back to the mid 20s and was fast and happy again. I actually was in the bios screen and looking at the temp as I tightened it down and could watch it drop immediately when I got it right. It ran for years till I upgraded it again.

    I love this. As someone with lots of experience building PCs, I think it's super cool NZXT has put together kits like this with illustrations and whatnot to make the process as accessible as possible. I may actually recommend this kind of thing to people in the future after seeing this video. I mean...knowing how to do everything without help is great and all, but like why have kits like this one not been a thing for so much longer? lol. We've had "PC build kits" that'll pair parts for you online to make sure it's all compatible and stuff, but then when it's sent to you, you're expected to figure out the assembly on your own. Oh, and bonus points for Windows being pre-installed! No one ever talks about that part of the process. It's not like it's a difficult thing to do, but for someone doing it for the first time, I could see it being pretty intimidating.

    Yay, Anna! That's really was a very nice job and with some seriously clean, professional cable management. And the cooler mount mistake, it never occurred to me you CAN mount the brackets backwards like that. Kind of an oversight on the mounting design, I think. When dumb connectors don't let you do it backwards it's surprising something so important can be "successfully" installed upside down. To me that's a design oversight.
