Hey, Capital One! If you wanna learn how to build a computer *for real,* here's my email: marketing@science.studio
LOL they disabled comments and removed the like/dislike bar on the original video
This was hard to watch
It’s so messy and bad
SirGeraltMC hahahahahahaha
Stop making any of this,man!!!Or I'm gonna laugh myself to the death!!!Lols!!!
They disabled comments...wtf
They should thank those people who called them out and correct it with a new video instead.
You're in for disappointment. Crap media like Vurge do illogical stuff like this all the time.
Nah, they're journalists.
Epitome of intelligence. Can never question them.
/s
Yea, of they are gonna spread misinformation, the least they can do is let people correct them. If not, they need to take the video down all together before someone trusts it as a guide to build their new pc.
The way to get Mac loyalists to stay loyal...
Verge's solution to criticism (constructive or otherwise) is to block people and/or disable discussion, followed by a snide comment which cannot be contested (e.g will tweet about someone after blocking them so they can't reply)
Mistakes made:
- Brings swiss army knife, but uses screwdriver anyway
- Calls cable ties a tweezer
- 'Antistatic' wristband
- Installs mobo into case before cpu
- Installs ram wrongly
- Says it doesn't matter which slot for gpu
- Installs cpu cooler before mobo
- Forgets to install cpu cooler backplate
- Messes up cpu installation by putting the plastic installation helper thing underneath the cpu clamp
- Splooges thermal paste around the outside of the cpu, missing the centre
- Heatsink had thermal paste pad on it already...
- Doesn't put fans on cpu radiator
- Uses wrong screws (the fan screws) for radiator installation
- Plugs in all cables into modular psu, even though he only needs about 3 of them
- Says psu needs to be installed on the damping pads for electrical isolation
- Installs psu so that fan is blowing into back plate of mobo
- Does zero cable management... he forgot to use his 'tweezers'.
- Plays league against bots and is loosing.
Owl He also put the psu in backwards, the fan is suppose to face outward, not in ward. That thing is a fireball waiting to happen.
@@Athasin Yes, that actually seemed kind of dangerous. Maybe he thinks that if the psu air is allowed to go outside the case, the whole computer will short-out? Who knows.

They deactivated comments and the like to dislike ratio. Top class journalism here folks
The comments weren't just people calling out how wrong this video was but also people being shit and personally attacking that guy.
T El good, he clearly didn’t know how to do some of those things properly. And couldn’t even be bothered to cable manage. I mean that water cooler part had me pulling my hair out.
@@hearthjunkie8173 I agree it was bad but that doesn't give people the right to tell him to kill himself and that they hope he dies. The anonymity of the comment section shouldn't empower you to be a shit person.
T El comments are disabled so didn’t see those. Obviously death threats are a big no no. But everything else in regards to the video and lack of effort is fair and justified.
@@hearthjunkie8173 for sure but I assume you've seen how bad it can get. Criticism is warranted with that video because the advice was pretty bad but it's like people will continue to say the worst kinds of things if they see other similar comments have a high like count.
Man that video is a prime example of what happens when people lie on their resume.
This is what happens when colleges choose any black person that's available.

@@volka2199 lmao i tested it to see if it was a joke or a scam
"Download more RAM"!!! I fell out of my chair when I read your reply LOLOL!
Only works if you're connected via wifi cable though...
How to download more ram? Go to new egg or amazon, download it (buy it) and wait a few days for the software to install because ur internet is crap (that is the delivery by the way) and there, you have your ram.
This video saved my PC, I was about to put my power supply in the PC and cause everything to short circuit but now it's completely wrapped in Flex Seal tape to make sure nothing gets damaged
how's temps? you using it to cook eggs?
I used intel thermal paste as feet, whew, that was a close one!
I used ceram wrap lolz
Thats alota damage
I would recommend a tin foil hat too just to make sure your head is safe.
Can we all appreciate that anti static wristband that isn't grounded anywhere, so it's essentially a PC builders fashion statement.
it's not even an anti-static wristband. it's just a support bracelet. someone must have clued him in that he should be using an anti-static bracelet for the video (not because it's necessary, but because this is supposed to be "serious") and just gave him any bracelet they could have found within the timeframe they needed it.
I just grip the side of the case every so often.
@Grav I do the same, but if you wear a wristband and don't use it correctly, you just look like a fucking dumbass in a PC building instructional video, all credibility is lost.
It's wireless
Having never used one before I was wondering how it was supposed to work.

I think he was working for Apple before he came here.
My PC costs twice as much and that doesn't make me any better at League than him. Your statement is as incorrect as his PC building skills.
@Dex4Sure That's no excuse. You can spend a week of intensive research to know pretty much everything about pc and building one.
Literally just 1 or 2 build videos is enough to not make these kinds of mistakes.
Why does price affect ability?
Henryk John your pc performance affects your skill to a certain degree. Anyone with a brain would figure it out.
We should report the video as being misleading
Nah man, as torture to pc components
I've done it. He wastes the dual channel and soaks the CPU in paste wtf?
I did it. XD The inside of his case looks like spaghetti.
I did, I suggested they run it by their own it guys to hear first hand how much bad information is in that video and not to just take my word for it.
i reported it.
He didn’t have any RGB in that build. No wonder he was playing in 1080p we all know you need RGB for 4K.
Azizx27 hahahaha 😂😂😂 I'm surprised he didn't download more RAM for League of Legends.
lmao
Tee Zee kek
In the original video he mentions he's using RGB RAM, but then he doesn't show it lighting up or him setting it up to use a specific color or anything. Maybe he forgot about it entirely?

@@dom7015 Considering he can't even properly screw in an AIO radiator, I sincerely doubt he even knows how to get into BIOS.
@@STR33TSofJUST1C3 whats a bios?
@@ajfergy5569 If your comment is not sarcasm:
The BIOS is the software which comes with your motherboard. It manages technical settings for your computer, such as clock speeds, boot devices and much, much more.
To enter it, you can generally press DEL or F2 on your keyboard while the first splashscreen shows up when booting your computer (it's usually easier to just spam it until you're in the BIOS), though some motherboards may have different shortcuts for it.
For most people, the BIOS won't serve any purpose, and it's certainly better not to touch anything you're not sure of its functionning, because a bad change in a BIOS can seriously damage your components in certain cases.
@@QcDiablo help im in the bios and now my computer is booting to a harddrive with windows vista on it
He said, "This PC is going to benchmark games for the VERGE". I will never trust any benchmarks coming out of the VERGE Lol
Yeah me neither lol
Neither of us will
Gotta repost that vid everywhere with this bit zoomed in on his lips so nobody does.
Exactly what I thought at the exact time he said that lol
Gtx 1080 runs minesweeper at 3 fps when VERGE builds the pc
Poor guy. Sounds like he was thown into a project way over his head. Still, a majority of his mistakes could have been easily corrected with a day or two of research which it looks like he either didn't do or he chose to ignore.
That's so cruel now that I think about it.
The vast majority of his mistakes could have been corrected by READING the MANUAL that came with the motherboard... it directly tells you where to put things like ram and cables.... I'm guessing that they just grabbed some random who happened to be walking by to be the one in front of the camera and to do it NOW without prep :/
40 minutos watching JayZTwoCents video and it was done
Surely someone in a place that literally reports on technology would know how to build PC's properly lol
Honestly, he should have watched any of Paul, Kyle, Greg, or anyone's "how to build" guide. Research is part of the job. But yes, this it more than just the guy. The whole verge team is at fault.
Verge/Vox is striking channels with this video. Stay sharp, bro.
@TheokolesTW good
@TheokolesTW The fact that so many new views and comments are on this video is an ironic, though maybe expected for users, effect of their juvenile abuse of the system.
@@Hahahahaaahaahaa i intentionally rewatched kyles video in retaliation against vox, just to salt their wound, and im sure im not the only one.
also, dude is hilarious
@TheokolesTW Maybe to CZcams PC Hobbist, but that clueless MacBook buying coastal elitist its just more proof of the evils of White Guys. Don't take this lightly at all. Go ask a gaming enthusiast what happened 8 years ago. Go ask an Atheist what happened 7 years ago. You're not as immune as you think and you should have never taken the bate.
Well, you know, it *IS* the left wing brainwash cringe platform with a thin veneer of tech content, you can count on them to provide all the cringe you could ever want. Pretty sure 90% of their views are people on a cringe binge.
Amazing job, Greg! Lyle will be following in your footsteps soon. :)
YES
hey kyle, you are responsible for Verge's worst and creepiest build. they just saw your video " How not to build a pc "
before watching " how to build a pc " 😒😒😒😒🤣🤣
1 min silence for Verge's Authentic top class military graded pC bUilDiNg theory's .
(especially thermal paste ones) 🙃🙃🙃🙃👌😂👏👏👏👏👏
YESSSS!!!
Hell yeah.
Yessss!!! Lol
The thermal paste sandwich did me in.
I can't believe they pulled this off WITH a major sponsor on the video. What a disaster.
The LEAST they could have done was just look up the 6+ year old Newegg videos and just replicated the process, christ.
Who is the sponsor let's email the sponsor to demonetise them for maximum lulz.
Even of they would have just read the instructions booklet included in the motherboard box, they could have avoided a lot of their errors.
Stefan Etienne is a classic example of a tech journalist that truly knows nothing about what he's talking about. Quite the dilettante that somehow weaseled his way into this job. He also refuses to acknowledge his mistakes! When faced with justified criticism, he claimed we all were just "haters and angry nerds." Proceeds to then brag about how his PC is superior to everyone else's, as if that's a valid point.
So basically your typical diversity hire who keeps failing upwards but actually believes they keep getting shuffled upwards because they have talent instead of coworkers just wanting to rid themselves of him.
Oh it's superior all right.......superior at blowing up in flames
3 years later. yeah :( it's..sad. I knew a "information journalist". He used to be beyond full of shi???. I guess he got laid or something, because he's now able down to earthER. lol and no I don't know what a "information journalist" is, or how that's different than a regular person asking someone: w t f happend? . Fred, used to swear that all you needed was computer simulations and... . but oof. He didn't know what on earth he was going on about! I guess cognitive disonance is a requirement to be a journalist?
@@zybch Well it's also...the verge him being a token...er I mean unique hire? compondounded with the verge, and vox being hacks? they -steal- borrow other peoples work. Even if that work is a shallow phone it in thing! 'the best emulators for the super nintendo' 'these are the top 9sexquintillion Mega. (deep 90s voice) discounted GPUs you can get today!. ..er um um...uh eeef er I eeeeh. I need some serius Noginfogger to even read some of their stuff.
Damn, that dude forgot to put the thermal paste in the CPU socket!
You heard that kids. Make sure you do this every time
Also, don't forget to put lube inside each of the USB ports. If you don't you might get a fire in your system because of all the friction.
Well didn’t you hear, that’s not actually the CPU socket, that’s a CPU holder.
he also forgot to thermal paste his ram.
Make sure to use a graphite dry lubricant!
Wow, the Verge think they have credibility as journalists. Tech CZcamsr's seriously have more journalistic credibility than they do.
They're owned by Vox media. I don't know why anyone is surprised. Vox is garbage.
as long as they aren't "tech/open box thereapy" reviewers. Then sure
I've seen Linus provide more than a bit of misinformation, especially as he strayed from consumer PCs and was building servers. Besides being a lot of clickbait and sale's pitching, I generally don't watch any of his videos now. So I dunno, he might have improved, but last I checked he was not a credible source.
Linus, JayzFalseCents and Hardware Cannacks are the sht bricks in the cesspool. They cannot be trusted!
In Gamers Nexus, you can trust! While every sod outthere made pathetic RTX unboxing videos. GN made a high quality video about specs and stuff. Their content is unbiased, legit and grounded by logic.
Also there are PC specialists out there that can build it for you and at a reasonable price! I would rather do that than listen to these hacks at the verge!
Not only does the power supply already touch the side of the case, it is also mounted onto the case with METAL SCREWS. I think my computer is gonna blow up any second now.
Actually Jack it is SUPPOSED to touch the case. If anyone has taken the A+ computer repair exam you know that the case is essentially a grounding unit. It touches the outside of the powersupply which uses the third electrical pin to ground. What he did was increase the change of system being fried in a short LOL. Yes an idiot he was
Not to mention the motherboard screws are connected to the power supply's ground rail. And that they're mounted on metal standoffs.
Oh I can just see the sparks.
Jack Le shiieeett!! thanks for telling me bruh! i just put some super glue on that bad boi and it all good now! now i dont have to worry about computer blowing up and shit. whew!! thumbs up for you mate
Don't worry. Just get a tazer, attach it to the side of your case and hold the trigger down. It should cancel out the electricity shorting from your PSU.
God damnit! Ive been building pc's wrong my whole life?
The video is now deleted. :D and they blame it on racism.
People actually were saying some pretty nasty shit about the guy, what I don’t like about their statement on the video when they took it down was that all the errors were “minor”
The Verge is a partnership with Vox. We all know how much of an ass hats those guys are.
To be fair, there were some people leaving racist comments, death threats, and other horrible things, but that wasn't the sole problem. However, they also claimed minor inaccuracies when they actually had MAJOR inaccuracies.
Why why did they do that i want to have a good fun time and i lost the oppotunity to have a goog entertainment just like watching a comedy show
@Dark Dubbs … there were racist comments being made.
How 2 build gud compewtor:

Sometimes it makes you wonder how some people get paid to do what they do and there are tons of people who have actual knowledge don't even get a shot.
It's not about "what" you know, it's about "who" you know in the business. If everyone was hired based on their actual knowledge..we would have flying cars that ran on water, and cured all cancer by now.
They seached for a smart looking black Guy to fit there agenda
Helps if you work your ass off too. But don't be a push over or you'll be walked over and taken for granted.
I agree neoasura, I know people like that who don't know jack about building pc's but I'm over here and I can basically build a pc with my eyes closed and make it look good but because I don't know the right people, I didn't Have my shot..
When I had issues with my PC shutting down, the guy in a computer repair shop said my PC was overheating, because I have removed the side panels on my case. He then claimed fans work like air conditioners and that by removing the panels the "cold" air leaves the case and that the "hot" air from my room was entering the case and didn't allow the fans to cool my CPU properly. His college was listening to all this and confirmed it. I just left. I know for a fact these guys were working there for at least 15 years. Imagine how much BS they sold to people who don't know anything about computers.
The problem was with the power supply. I built that PC myself and I could have diagnosed the problem, but I simply don't have spare parts lying around to test stuff.
Aww we missed the bluetooth anti-static wristband
I like how he thinks the anti-static wrist band will "Protect YOU and your computer"...Protect you from what? Does he think it would actually save him from getting electrocuted??????
bro you should always wear your bluetooth anti-static wristband! It's just "good pc building practice" it protects me, my computer and the people around me as well.... it saves us from getting electrocuted every time I turn on the pc! And it's bluetooth so you don't have worry about cables!!
You're the first person to call it Bluetooth and it really killed me
I once had my pc blow up on me!
Computers can be a safety hazard without one y'know
The Verge is more concerned with anti-Semitic wristbands

I think the metaphor you're looking for is snakes nest. The metaphor crows nest is used to describe a point so high it is a vantage point to see far. I know this because I live in Crows Nest, Sydney NSW - that's a suburb higher than the surrounding areas of North Sydney. Sailors called the cage atop the masts of their ships crows nests, they would climb to the crows nest to survey the area because it was the highest vantage point. Etymology FTW.

When i saw it i thought it was a troll tbh
I like the battery icon on your name :3
It can play all of the newest titles. It can run old games at 100s of frames per second. It can explode in a fireball because the power supply will overheat due to the fan being the wrong direction.
That happens when case manufacterers take the ATX concept a bit too free.
The PSU should be able to breathe at all 4 sides, thus it can be installed either way.
@@Markus-zb5zd that PSU will shut itself down before it overheats
Nope on corsair psus the fan hardly ever spins at all
@@Synthematix Don't they only spin when the PSU goes beyond the whatever threshold they have set?
Or are you saying the fan doesn't spin fast enough?
Graphics cards for example tend to only start the fan once they go beyond 50 C, so it will always be at 50 C when in idle
@@JonatasAdoM On my corsair psu rm750x the fan will only spin at 90% load so for me it never spins up

Blame "toxicity" and "harassment" all they want - some of the advice is amusingly bad sure, but a lot of it is outright dangerous.
If they want to fix this, an update video with someone who knows what they're doing would be appropriate
Lmao comments were even disabled on the video. So the “toxicity” that VERGE experienced was basically just youtubers joking at their ignorance, basically banter. And besides that it was mostly constructive criticism. Smh... this is why VERGE is the worst channel on this site
Thats a good thing. Now they can't confuse people even more when it comes to pc building
They should anyway. It got bad votes, it would cost their channel bad algorithm to appear as recommended videos.
You shouldn't just stick the RAM where the board manufacturer recommends. They do not know your particular RAM's needs and feelings.
Your super-fast RAM will let you know how it chooses to identify itself, in this case the RAM obviously self-identifies as single channel, and feels threatened if inserted too close to the CPU as CPUs have been known to gang-stalk RAM sticks in the past.
To insert it any other way would be disrespectful to the RAM, and by all means a microaggression which further perpetuates the RAM patriarchy and the associated oppression that it brings.
At first I was like "you fucking what mate?" And then it turned into a gangwar and the keks came in full force.

Lols!!You got that's right!!!
LMAO that cable management is total trash.
wha- how-
Better than mine
who cares if it boots and run it works
@Bacon
Because the moment it stoppes "booting and running" you are going to have a hell of a time figuring wtf is going on inside the PC.
not really no i know what my components are and where the cables go and theyre out of the way so they don't potentially touch fans or other potential issues.
could throw all your parts into a box and toss it down a hillside and it would still be a better assembly than the Verge did
Literally what I thought too! Going uphill tomorrow... gonna get me a new pc by the time it rolls down!
at least the psu wont be backwards with 0 ventilation xd
Sleepy .Time haha I'm dying 😂😂😂
That's how I built mine! 😮😮
"...and go ahead and apply more thermal paste cause Corsair doesn't know what they're doing."
Darcy Cardinal lol it doesn't bother me that he's using too much but mixing two pastes is just not a safe bet. Then the guy doesn't install fans on the radiators. Hopefully vox doesn't ask him to do any heavy lifting with that thing
@@hell_pike9150 He could've used electrically conductive thermal paste. Then using too much would indeed be a problem.
Awww man. My case doesn't have any of those pads to stop short circuiting. I should buy a new case immediately!
Its too late,throw the whole thing iut and start over. You dont want to risk having a leaky psu!
Yea, the thing about those short circuit electrical fires is that the flames are invisible. Your house is already on fire and burning to the ground. You're gonna want to just buy a new home.
The short circuit has already entered your pc components and getting a new case won’t fix it. It will just short circuit the new case as well. Best to just throw it all away and start from scratch. Bad luck rip your computer. Also don’t forget to buy a livestrong bracelet when you build the new one.
Power supplies also give off a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. Without those pads, your case is amplifying that radiation to dangerous levels. You should go to a hospital and have a full body scan done.
In my eyes, tech youtubers have more credibility as journalist compared to writers on news outlets like the verge, polygon, ign, etc... It's because literally anything that gets attraction can be published as long as the editor approves it even if it is incredibly stupid.
That's because its nothing more than hipster pandering millennial SJW's that work for The Verge, Polygon, Kotaku, IGN.
@@MelvinKhosa .... Well said .... They are a sad excuse to journalism
You forget the "every PSU comes with a bag of cables". No dude.

The Verge should overclock anyway, and they can watch their trash have a meltdown...lmao
@Mi Ke "normal specs" is the cookie cutter approach. every processor is different, but they have no incentive to really sit down and pick a best frequency and voltage for everyone single one, they don't even know what the consumer wants or will use, you can make a cpu faster or more efficient, it is a trade off. some people over clock, some under volt. it is almost a guarantee to improve on factory settings, even slightly
I built my first PC this week...so am a total noob...but did a better job than this The Verge build.

Never plug in the power supply to the computer it will probably short circuit your system
james g no one should buy a power supply for this reason. just for safety measures to prevent a short circuit in your system
Thanks guys you just saved me a costly mistake!

MORE THERMAL PASTE = MORE FPS!
That's a new trend, RGB is so yesterday
puts thermal paste on the ram and graphics card and obviously the ssd/hard drive. would be funny to see someone put thermal paste on the fans and turn them on
your pfp perfectly represents this comment
Yes, but he did it wrong! You're supposed to put some in the socket!
They needed the new RGB thermal paste really, that would have given him at least a 50fps boost if he had half a syringe of it.
Holy cringe....that PSU part killed me
The Ram is what got to me XD

That PSU part: he talks about having those cushion on the bottom, then he not only misses the part Greg mentioned, but also how big of a static electricity prob it would be to put a CPU AFTER putting in the motherboard. If ur that careful of a mere PSU, why not be careful of something much expensive like CPU?
because he's clearly knows nothing about building a PC
Dude I gotta remove the PSU internals from the casing, it's literally all metal wtf it's gonna short circuit!

Unfortunately, that video included a number of errors in the build process, and as a result we have removed it from this article. We have also updated this article to improve the order of the steps in the process._
The written article still has a lot of issues lol
@@TheEightfoldPath_ "With your fans in place, you can finally proceed to applying thermal paste to the top of your processor. You should apply a paper-thin layer of paste spread evenly on top of the CPU. From there, screw in the remaining screws to secure your cooler on top of the processor."
Edit: I don't think they even say anything about the pre-applied paste.
Why would you skip the most cringey part where he scews in the rad with no fans using the long screws forcing them through the actual fins 😂
you can literally hear him destroying the rad with the screws as he says "this is super simple". so simple he didn't even need to RTFM, apparently.
Technically it would still work if all he does is smash the fins, so he won't learn from this mistake. Given that thermal past application, I doubt he watches Temps of "over clock's" the CPU anyways. I find it funny he mentions overclocking but just plays lol
Ok... Watched the part and holy shit those screw go through the whole radiator... I hope it leaks all over this build, validating the comments they disabled.

"Tech youtubers are not journalist" That was a compliment
@Patriot Cat A smart one. There's going to be a huge demand for good journalists if the current roster sucks balls.
Yeah. That ''journalist'' title means ''I'm just narrate the news / topics to my political beliefs'' in today's world. Idiot people has really ruined the real good journalism that isnt biased.
He didn't mean it that way but that's the way I took it.
Being a journalist meant something real before the internet made it easy for anyone to start a blog.
Atleast the video got taken down.
Wait a while till same "journalists" will start pumping articles about video being taken down because of racism. I mean e.g. Linus makes videos about computers everyone likes them, but some black guy assembles a computer and video is heavily disliked and made fun of the guy, this is certainly racism.

Such a noob with that paste. Everyone knows you put the after market thermal paste on the IHS first, then cover that with liquid metal, and THEN sandwich it together with the pre-applied paste.
Nah best to use liquid metal on an aluminum heatsink
Don't forget to ad a bit of wheel bearing grease, as that helps it fit together better.
Dont forget to replace the IHS with a larger copper one
Oh and put thermal pads in between the aluminum fins of the cooler for maximum heat dissapation.
The Verge turned off the comments and dislikes on their video HAHAHAHHA!!
I didn't watch the whole video, but I was split on downvoting the video based on that alone, or upvoting it because of the motion graphics at the start.

5:00 of course you need to insulate the bottom, Greg. We all know that electricity follows gravity like water. Hence why you don't need to insulate the back. /s
Thanks for that. The concept of a current sink makes much more sense to me now.
Jeeeez, You can only GROUND the electricity idiot. Is the back of the computer touching the ground? No. So why would you have to worry about grounding the brick on anything asides from the bottom brace?
But only from the right side of the BRICK, THats why the fan appeared to have been blocked but its ok because it pulls air through the bottom of hte brick
@TheDogWithGoggles pretty sure he was continuing the joke lmao

TheDogWithGoggles It's a superfluous punctuation mark for dense people who don't get jokes, such as yourself.
you skipped the part where he tried to murder the radiator with long screws and no fans
I approve of your Grippen.
You do not have to "hammer in" anything, whatsoever. When building a computer, and trying to look confident about it, there shouldn't be an "I believe" when it comes to the speed of your RAM. You should know for sure what you're putting into the computer. I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as, um, insulating pads.

Lmao
This video does prove one thing, any idiot can build a PC.
Doing it wrong and it still works.
But not everyone can do it right.
This video was bad more because of the shitty cable management and misleading statements than his ability to put pieces together. He got it right for the most part which is why it didn't utterly fail on him. Honestly the only real problem with the video was when he used extra thermal paste but everything else was nonsense that didn't affect the outcome of the build.
PC building nowadays is like putting an 8-piece puzzle together. After decades of things gradually becoming easier now you don't have to know the name of the slot or even any of it's technical capabilities. Just oh it fits in there and it works, it's good. Meanwhile you're paying premium for the extra performance wondering why it's not running as well as the next guy's. The loss of using dual channel memory is a potential performance issue right there, and they're planning on using it to benchmark games with? I wouldn't call that "nonsense that didn't affect the outcome of the build". Also it's one thing when you use ignorance to fool yourself, it's another when you start to mislead others with it.
by building it wrong and causing it burst into flames considered "how to build PC" for average person...umm okay...NOT

(Power supply short circuit line was funny as hell though)
Yep, dont cause short circuit and make sure the PSU dont have air !
At this point why bother, let's just wrap the all PSU with duct tape !
@@frankmario6747 throw it into a plastic bag and leave the cables out like people do with the PSU of the watering regulator in the gardens.
Well, I thought I had seen it all... First the dual channel RAM, then the CPU installation tool, and finally the PSU "SHORTAGE". To top it off we also got a double stacked thermal paste sandwich and then just destroyed the whole system cause of the cable management. Thankfully there's still people like Greg that can actually show people how to build a PC.
Edit: By destroying the whole system cause of the cable management I meant that the PC looked awful. It probably won't affect airflow or performance, but I think the fact that they used a windowed case, and then left that mess, isn't what you would expect from a CZcams channel like The Verge.
PSU* shortage ;)
Thanks :)
He even said "u need some zip ties" in the beginning of the video as didn't do wire management
Well to be clear u won't destroy pc if u don't do cable management unless wire is blocking a fan .... Although I agree cable management makes things easy for upgrade , cleaning , repairing and other stuff
While cable management is more of a cosmetic thing, it still takes no time between a mess and some decent organization. But missing screws for the cooler, "short circuiting" the PSU, poor memry placement.
It looks like he never built a PC before and only had a 5 mins bootcamp and a short script. That is stuff that is in the actual manual.
Actually, **reading the short manuals that come with the parts is helping more than watching the video.* It even takes less time.
It was such an embarrassment that they took it down. Did no one from IT ever see this before it went live? Did no one stop him? Maybe IT saw this and was like "Yeah, let's not say anything and watch it crash and burn." I like that idea and I'm sticking with it.
Well he has is a computer science major which I kinda wonder how he go his diploma since most computer science graduates know how to assemble and troubleshoot their pc because its thought almost throughout the year....
I didn't know they taught much about hardware is computer science classes.
Vayne Fox Computer Science is only coding. Not hardware stuff
One could argue they go hand in hand. One could also argue that more than one person had a hand in this video...and no one thought to tell them how bad it was?
@@starcubey i do know they must understand the term "googling"
My favorite was the part where the fan screws go all the way through the radiator...you know, cause they're super secure, lol
I missed that, what time stamp?
He also didn't put fans in... This thing is a cluster
yeah, lol. I wonder if the running shots at the end was with a replacement rad after the first one bleed all over the computer from being Skewered by the Screws, lol. As Louis would say, Why did they sodomize that rad like that, lol.
That did make me cringe really hard
You can see the fans on the radiator at the end.
But it does pose the question, how much shit did he go back and change before showing the "finished" build after he went through the whole build process

@whop You're just an npc
Thermal paste is supposed to be as thin as absolutely possible. It's there because coolers and CPU lids are not manufactured to high enough spec to ensure that they are absolutely flat and parallel. This is why CPU lapping and deluding is a thing.
Thickness of TIM on CPU doesn't matter that much. You can watch a video from Gamers Nexus for proof.
+lowell houser as long it cover the die & fillin the gabs it doesn't matter if you had extra, the only reason the ppl suggest otherwise is the risk of shorting your components in case of a leakage, but that will take a ridiculous amount of paste anyways
@@evanmedi6144 plus, only really a risk if you're using the exotic conductive stuff like liquid metal. As long as it doesn't get into the socket and block the pins, it doesn't really matter if it's covering the MB.
Artic Silver 5 (one of the most well known brand of TIM) is conductive. It doesn't have to be liquid metal lol
I like to keep my power supply in the other room
i keep my entire PC out in the hallway.
(no, really. it's on a table near my HVAC return vent so it stays cool, cables through the wall with passthrough plates so my room is quiet & doesn't heat up. 20yrs of PC building/modding, & this was the best thing i've ever come up with.)
Bruh you are fucking weak, I use myself a downloadable cloud power supply!
I keep my PSU in the kitchen sink, right next to the router. But it's placed on pads, so it doesn't short-circuit when I'm washing dishes.
@@Astralify the correct terminology for Power supply unit is actually brick if you watch the video.. Helpful tip.. If you cover your brick in a thick layer of peanut butter it will be water proof also helps its you want to keep it outside but also smells great indoors

What shocks me is instead of taking down a bad video... they just disabled the comments and like counter.... that is super sketch.
They have a sponsor(a fairly big one at that) and don't want to make them mad by taking down the video. So fuck it, leave the misinformation out there /s
theyre just going to leave it up and probably just say every ones just trying to troll them and being toxic to them
It's sponsored video that now will get a lot of views based on videos like this. Why would they?
When you call out Tech CZcamsrs as not being Journalists as the Verge did, I would assume Journalistic integrity. If you call your self a Journalist and your site and content news and you are shown to have something as just bad as this you take it down and reshoot it or give the sponsor their money back. You don't do something super sketch that you'd expect from a GTA V or reupload Channel
They removed it
You should have mentioned that he said that every power supply comes with a bag of cables. He doesn’t know that not all power supplies are modular
The Verge is an absolute joke. Let's not forget the time they made a rocket scientist cry because some 3rd wave feminist found his shirt offensive.
wait what? O.o
They probably were equally informed on the subject then and now.
At least his friend, the woman who made him that shirt, made a killing selling copies of that shirt for a couple years after.
I'll give you that the furor it caused was utterly absurd, but to flip it completely and say that he did nothing wrong is itself pretty ridiculous. That shirt was obviously inappropriate for any professional environment, let alone an event where cameras will be present. It doesn't take much thinking to realize that such a shirt would be distracting for both men and women at the very least, and with a tiny bit more thought, to understand that it would make some of the latter feel uncomfortable and disrespected. Ignoring things because they aren't directly related to whatever main issue is at hand simply isn't human nature. I mean, the video you posted this on is about pointing out dumb but ultimately harmless mistakes made in another video, and you're commenting about how mad a *different* video made you, for crying out loud. He should have put a little more thought into his wardrobe choice, and that's undeniable. Indeed, everyone should think a bit about how our actions make others feel.
yep, this one's definitely going into my cringe compiliation
Add some thermal paste on a RAM!
fromNYC I always make sure to spread some thermal past on the pins on my ram. Keeps it nice and cool.

I always put thermal paste between my ice cream and ice cream cone. That way it, doesnt melt and drip down the side.
I died a bit when he mixed the stock thermal paste with the new one
I lost it when I noticed he didn't even have a single case fan orientated to exhaust heat lol
