For installing the cooler, ALWAYS check if theres a plastic peel to remove on the part that makes contact with the IHS of the CPU
Thumbs up for this.
Huh why is my pc crashing and not performing as there's a burning smell, rip the enthusiasm of building.
Wow thanks
I've built 30+ PCs over 4 years and I still left the sticker on last week. Haha
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee REEEEEEEEEEEEE >
Why isn't there a post-build tutorial with how to enable the XMP in the bios, recommended settings after building the PC? These things are what's going to shy away a lot of beginner builders.
I think jays2cents made one
joey delgado usually includes that and installing windows/drivers in his build guides if people need to look
Oh come on it's easy to look up
@@UshankaMaster only if you know to look it up, which beginners might not.
For example: there's plenty of people too that have 144Hz QHD monitors, but connect them via hdmi 1.4 and thus won't get more than 60Hz, just because they don't know to look it up.
A beginner's guide to your first computer should include BIOS settings and installing Windows/another OS.
Left it out to be more foolproof, maybe.
At 6:45 when Linus mentions configuring the AIO pump header to match the CPU/chassis fan function: The setting is in the BIOS: Go to the Monitor section of the BIOS and scroll down to Q-Fan Configuration. In that menu, scroll down some more and you'll see the option to set the "AIO PUMP Control" to Auto (it is Disabled by default). Then set the "AIO PUMP Fan Q-Fan Source" option to "CPU" so that it matches the regular fan header's options. There you go!
I would have no idea what any of this means
Susanna is wrong, just letting a newb know a concept exists helps them know to learn about it
why has literally every single AIO installation video ive ever seen completely disregard this part LOL
Extra step, but an easy one: If all H510s from NZXT are assembled by drunk lobsters, for a cleaner cable run, rotate the rear fan to make the wire exit at the top and close to the motherboard wall (in this instance, rotate 90 degrees clockwise).
LTT: Here's the ultimate hour long "last PC building guide you'll ever need" episode!
LTT a week later: JK, here's another PC building guide.
facts
In fairness, it kind of makes sense.
They release the ultimate hour long PC building guide.
Then, next week, they release the "TL;DR" ten minute version for those who can't be arsed to watch an hour long video and think too much.
One is "the ultimate guide" and the other is the "I don't have the time or the patience, so just give me the headlines on something that 'just works', please" guide.
@Dora Emon hehe omg!! I want ur feets so much ;3 ;P hehe
and it wasnt even that good of one
This pc may be fool proof but if you went to micro center you could build a better performing pc for the same price and have them build it now that’s more fool proof. The issue with this is that in trying to be fool proof you spend too much money on the wrong things
As someone who works in IT, I can assure you, nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool! :-)
Can confirm. I work in school IT support and this is very true. I have written very simple and succinct guides with visuals for staff members and there is always that one person who manages to mess up something. I go to great lengths to plan out my guides and find the most direct way to do a task. I take screenshots and even highlight exactly where they need to go or what buttons or options to press. I usually end up with a few people who couldn't figure it out. Very "fun" especially last 2 years during distance learning. I think I spend more time than I should planning out the guides.
*slightly off topic here*
I had a staff member freak out because she enabled OneDrive on her computer. It didn't alter her files, but she was freaking out because there were green check marks on her desktop icons. I had to explain to her what OneDrive is, the benefits of it, and that she didn't do anything wrong. It was a much longer conversation than that necessary.
Several weeks later, I had to reset this person's password. Oh man. It was a nightmare. Before I reset her password, I asked if she receives work email on her phone. She told me she does so I told her that she will eventually need to update her work email password on her phone. For some reason, she could not understand how her computer login password was related to her email password. Again, it was an ordeal explaining to her all that information. Not fun.
My father is an engineer and did a bit of IT, and he says nothing is ever idiot-proof, because they'll just go and make a better idiot
which should make you happy, its why you have a job is it not?

There is an entire category of people out there whose eyes gloss over and brains shut down when they look at technical instructions. These people are called "women."
For anyone wondering, the total price of this build comes at around $1600 and if you include the GPU (which isn't necessary for the computer to work and pretty much only helps you get higher FPS in games or render videos faster) then the build comes to around $2000.
@@MMAPROFIGHTER Look at the date stamp on the comment, doofus xD
rendering videos faster is only true if you use hw accel, which you probably shouldnt unless you run extremely high res with super crazy bitrate. If you're running 1080 you should just be doing cpu lossless or even lossy compression. It's much more efficient. Also if your machine has an intel CPU with an iGPU then you can use QSV which does numbers.
Great guide! I love all the over the top tech you guys show but it's certainly nice change of pace to see something a bit more down to earth again!
For any new pc builder that uses this guide, the CPU 8 pin cable and PCIe 8pin are switched around (7:50)
Thanks!
yea cpu is usually a 2x4pin while gpu is a 2+6 pin
LOL that is a Linus drop tips level fail
Yeah, there were a few issues with the "ultimate" guide, too.
If you're going to act like a reliable source, especially in front of millions of people, you just can't make these kinds of mistakes.
@@MiIIiIIion hey, mistakes happen, it's not a big deal
At 7:50 the PCIe 8 pin label is on the CPU 8 pin. It has the big "CPU" label right on it.
And vice versa. Good spot, didn't even notice!
Yep the cables shown for the cpu and gpu are in the wrong order.. lel
Imo it's also a silly reason not to go for modular... yes you can do it wrong but by paying attention it should be simple and save a cable mess.
Also a bot (nub) has stolen your comment
Good spot! I'm visually blind so I didn't notice! Thanks!
7:50, #2 is PCIe, #3 is CPU
For a company with so few locations, their marketing budget is huge.
"Our goal was to make a PC that would take less time to build than it would take to drive to the store and buy a console
Step 1. Drive to microcenter and buy a motherboard"
Bro, wut
Cries in Singapore
So basically this guide is made for Americans that struggle using PowerPoint
@@PalmTree. There's only 25 Microcenters in the US so it's not even that helpful to most Americans. Most of us would have to drive several hours (closest one to me is 1,074 miles).
Also remember to remove the protective "sticker" from the cooler before install 😂
7:51 For any first time builder(that happens to see this and be confused on it), the plugs here are backwards from what they show in the close up shot. The cpu pin is the one that splts evenly down the middle and the pcie plug is the one that has 6 pins on one side, and 2 on the other
I didn’t think we’d get a follow-up to the PC build guide video this soon, let alone one that’s this short. That said, my little brother’s current build is actually a small one. And it actually didn’t take all that long for us to put together.
"They sponsored us"
I think the other guide was the super general one, and this is "These parts this way!" which is nice, but the other video is for the long term.
"foolproof"
"our case has 2 fans, but the motherboard only has one case cpu plugs, so either buy a y splitter or connect it to the aio pump power plug, but you might need to configure the settings in your motherboard to control the fans properly"
do yall know what foolproof means
Also
"The socket is so new our recommended cooler may not fit. In which case you have to call the company that made it and request a separate kit to make it fit."
Also the whole idea that if the person, who if they're building their first pc may not know exactly what they need, is gonna be fucked if they need to upgrade ram, or find they need internal capture or any pcie card, or realize that the build looks stupid in an h510 if they care about that. This whole thing would have actually made sense if they just had a b550 prime board, solving every problem and costing a third as much
When I clicked, I was thinking they had found mobos with cpus pre-installed. That's most of what would need to be fool-proof imo.
@@evlkenevl2721 Problem with that is that most of them are the low-power embedded chips only. The only one I can think of that's any kind of powerful is the 4700S
... why didn't they use a 4700S?
@@Fay7666 maybe it just feels incomplete when you build a pc without installing the cpu yourself?
3:26 Gen 4 Pcie M.2 SSD can overheat and clock down if the cooler isn't on it. I Recommend spend the extra 10 seconds and screw the cooler back onto the SSD.
Specially something like the sn850
LTT, you need to make a full no nonsense PC building guide. Forget about sponsors and fancy editing. Just make a solid video that can be used for years to come.
THE LAST BUILD GUIDE YOU’LL EVER NEED. Except that one. And this one. And this one… lol 😂
And STILL make mistakes, like on 7:50 !
Linus already said there will be more. That's the last one you'll NEED. But there will always be more for specific build scenarios like this one
The 1 thing - CPU 4+4 and PCI-E 6+2 are labeled wrong @ 7:49 . They are similar, but you know... For a newbie - they might look for details and their PSU might get upset when put wrong.
Actually there's a second error at 8:42 where the top right orange arrow is on one of the case's rivets lol
It isn't labelled wrong.
LTT: The last PC building guide you ever need.
LTT 1 week later: Wanna see us do it again?
9:27 Totally agree with you. I'm on my second case now and it has this, but my first one had all of these cables split up. So annoying to try and get them in the right headers!
I can build a regular pc in 10 minutes, granted the cable management will be rats nest 😂
yeah the only thing that make shit so long
"The only PC building guide you ever need..." Also this month: Now again, but faster... xD
the more the merrier
One thing to note about the recent Asus Strix motherboards is that they have extra holes to accommodate LGA1200 cooling hardware so you won't have that much issue with compatibility (unless the heatsinks are too wide or the AIO pumps touch the heat sink)
we dont have micro centers here, but I still love the bits you do with them, always fun trip down memory lane.
Linus: you can build this pc in 10 minutes!
Me: I spent 20 minutes yesterday trying to reseat my ram
I spent a couple hours the other day swapping my PSU and doing cable management. something that would probably take Linus like 20 minutes max. Admittedly though, I was also watching anime while I worked
The exposed, naked RAM is painful to sit in. It is somewhat spiky
Well given Linus' livestream PC builds normally take at least an hour, I'm suspicious that it only would take 10 minutes to build a PC.
@@Penfolduk001 he usually builds more complex stuff, and talks the viewers through it. I'm sure if was speed running it would be quick, mb 10 min is a bit too ambitious tho
@@alexanderlee5180 it only took me like 3 mins to build my whole pc and it was the first pc i built (it isn't in a case lol that's the only reason it was fast just sits on a large shelf i don't see the need to buy a case atm i don'thave any hard drives i need to mount or anything so there's no need)
Linus: *You can build this PC in 10 minutes.*
Me: *Bold of you to assume that I can afford a PC, let alone building it in 10 minutes.*
haha sameee

I bought an H510 and the front panel connector saved me a lot of time.
Considering I have a longer GPU (GTX 1070), I routed the PCIe power connectors through the side cable management hole the the ATX power connector goes through. They're less of an eyesore then they don't run up from the bottom
I still remember my first modern build. I chose an ASRock board, and this exact model would not post without an OS installed. It took me almost two weeks of disassembling and reassembling the system before I tried booting it with the Windows install media, and boy was I happy to see a video signal! So yeah, if you are new to PC building, remember to at least read the mobo manual.
I would love to see a video for a VR gaming build, comparing the higher end cards (3080, 3080ti, 3090, etc) and determining if they give much improvement as you scale up.
On the note of small boards. I built my first PC with super compatability and upgradability in mind. The only changes I have made on nearly 10 years was I changed the Wifi card because I lost an antenna and I added an SSD.
So much for needing compatability for upgrades when you need to upgrade the entire thing at once.
I like to use a tick tock cycle. I upgrade the GPU, then in ~18 months I upgrade the rest. Each half costs a similar amount to upgrade and upgrading components that are 3-4 years old makes each upgrade feel meaningful without ever feeling like my PC just straight up sucks.
I know what you mean. Most of my upgrades to my now over 10 year old computer was replacing failed components and when I was finally ready to upgrade I ended up replacing everything.
Now my old PC sits next to my newish PC on the same desk so I can do other things while I’m gaming.
Also the reason why I went mATX with my upgrade, never used the slots on my ATX board, allows for a much smaller case (went from 54l to 24l) and is still technically compatible with two gpus in a different case
@@or2kr my case is massive because I repurposed a bitcoin mining motherboard that has if I recall 21 pcie slots all 1x but there is a single 16x slot
My main purpose for using such a large board over my old one was the slight boost in performance since my old board was using ddr3 and pcie 2.0
New board doesn’t have all the requirements for windows 11 but at least has uefi and secure boot making windows 11 at least more manageable over the old board since missing those features will eventually cause a world of pain if something goes wrong in windows 11 which I’ve already witnessed because without secure boot and uefi windows 11 can not schedule a disk check of the boot drive or enter recovery mode for starters
@@stephentidwell2244 you can purchase a standalone tpm pretty inexpensively if you're inclined
This is basically the exact same specs I have in my pc right now, just with ddr4 and a bit more room for upgrade with a bit of a beefier psu, and it runs amazing. I would highly recommend this tier of hardware to anyone looking to build their first pc
Always wondered why front panel switch/led headers weren’t really standardized. Having a standard layout saves so much on time and cable management.
I believe it is because the front panel changes a lot from case to case.
"Just go to Micro Center and buy it"
Me as a European Citizen: "WTF is Micro Center ?"
I wish we they'd expand to Europe..
@@DavrelBlue I would kill for something like a Micro Center in the UK. We have one tech shop, PC World, and it's a pile of shit.
He forgot to warn about the sticker in the bottom of the CPU cooler
I can already see the damage...
Also should have mentioned to tighten the screws little by little from each side
I think this video is a supplementary to the actual build guide they made. The build guide is a one-size-fits-all, and this video is a "I watched that video but I just want an easy pc to buy and build"
Actually, it won't cause any damage, although it will be causing severely degraded performance. lol
@@lightly-red-huedmaleindivi6266 I like your take, and I love your pfp.
12600K... and B660 motherboard.
Telling the viewer to install the M.2 slot on the back of the motherboard... which is connected to the chipset instead of the CPU PCI-e lanes.
Also, they didn't note that you have to screw both of the screws on the aircooler mounting down evenly, a few twist each at a time. If you screw one down fully first, the other one won't fit...
Thanks for all the hard work LTT !! Great video!
Small recommendation, if you have braided cables and an h510 flow or just any nzxt case, I recommend you loop them around the cable hider from the right not the left.
Hmmm...with the CPU cooler, I can see a gap in your guide about which side of the fan to attach to which side of the heat sink. I don't think it'll make all that much difference given how cavernously empty the case is, but if you do it wrong, you will have fans fighting each other.
Just make sure the fan arrow is pointing to the heatsink.
@@arahman56 And make sure it’s pointing towards whatever side of the case is exhausting, normally the back.
@Ryan Boyer According to Jays2Cents having your cpu fan pulling air through the fins, instead of pushing air through them, can lead to up to ten degrees difference. So, it definitely matters.
If you have a fan that doesn't have handy arrows, all you have to remember is to look at the fan, and spot where the wires run from the edge, into the motor in the middle. All PC fans blow *towards* the side that the wires are on.
I understand being a newbie, but doesn't excuse you for not using your brain, c'mon
Not like you have no other fans to look at to know how the air flows
@@phuzz00 this is false, not ALL pc fans do that. MOST, yes, the VAAAAAST majority, but absolutely not "most." There are a number of fans, from big brands and small, that are "reverse" so you can use them for, say, bottom/rear intake without having the "ugly" side facing inwards and highly visible. As this is a guide meant for newbies, be careful with saying things like "all" of anything is a certain way, because that will almost always not actually be accurate.
I always keep the box that the Motherboard comes in to store PC parts that are left over from the build so everything I need is in one place and if anything happens I have all the parts needed for RMAs which DO HAPPEN. RMAs are way more common that people think. 5% people will have a part that will have an issue within the first year and can be RMAed.
Really love that you're sticking to megatransfers when mentioning RAM speeds.
Legit question: why does mentioning megatransfers matter versus talking about megahertz?
@@Thrashman138 cos the number that manufacturers put on it (like 3600MHz RAM) is actually the transfers. The Hertz number would be half of that.
It's nicely explained in this video of LTT:
czcams.com/video/zxGqGCtPxn4/video.html
@@masterfoben13 Thanks so much!
4:46 you rotated the mobo 90 degrees without showing it on screen, meaning that when it comes to mounting the cooler, it will look like you're supposed to screw it straight into the mobo.. *unless* you're paying attention (the brackets as black on black and in shadow as you put the cooler in).
Friendly reminder for LMG: train your editors in PC hardware. They have been getting very sloppy over the last week.
Why? Most of LMG's content has been making adverts.
@@KingEurope1 2 mistakes in this video idk
I saw them too. Mislabeled the USB headers for one.
I watched this video at 2x speed so I could build it in 5 minutes
Modern problems require modern solutions

The video: How to build a pc in ten minutes
The video length: 13 minutes
I've built my first pc about a year ago and only just made the cable management look good in the front and back (cable management is the worst bit about building your computer/desktop)
I never want a case with a window for the rear panel, I just want to shove everything in the back and forget about it
@Activision 1234 whats the point? Even well managed cables aren't much to look at on their own
@@bacon.cheesecake if you have an over priced fancy case it can look visually pleasing, but proper cable management actually helps airflow and heat management. (I'm not being an elitist my back panel is opaque and I gave up halfway through trying to organize my cables)
@@ioasisyumich I like fancy cases, and proper cable management, just not in the back. Although I think ltt or someone did a video on the effects in had on airflow and found it made basically no difference
The amount of money you can save on a budget build vs a same speck prebuilt is a lot. If you’re looking to get a computer I highly recommend budget building. There’s so many videos and guides to help you set it up. Plus it’s a fun experience. If you want high end you need to build your own to save tons vs a high end prebuilt
Nice and relaxing video to pass the time while taking a dump
Anyone following the guide should be careful at 7:50, the 8 pin cables are labelled incorrectly! The CPU 8 pin will say "CPU" on the side of the connector, and the PCIe one will say... "PCIe"
Damn I thought the screwdriver was available so I went straight to the store
Great vid as usual👌
Are you planning on maybe making a video about the bending problems on the 12th gen intel cpu. There hav been talk about it bending in the socket + damaging the socket itself?.
I’m planning on buying one for my first gaming rig but aren’t sure if it’s a good idea.
I love how he uploads the best pc building videos right before I'm about to build my first ever pc.
For someone building their first PC, they probably won't overclock the CPU. The 12400f comes with the stock cooler which is more than enough, and quicker to install.
EXACTLY!
the noctua is compatible with amd and has superior quality so it's better as a consumer to buy the quality cooler
the screwdriver is more expensive than my setup
Dang, I wish I had a Micro Center near me. They often have decent availability of hard to get Raspberrypi stuff in store too. And, because screw the predatory practices at Bestbuy.
I built my first PC June 2020. Worked in health care saved all I could and built my first build. I loved the process and convinced friends and family to also build PCs. I have now helped build 6 PCs for friends and family. I really want to build another one. 😫

I was in the Washington area over Easter and my hotel was not far from the location in Fairfax Viginia so I decided to check it out. it looked like a dumpy former grocery store with condescending staff. I ended up getting an iPad. At the cash they wanted my address so I gave it to them. They couldn't comprehend a Quebec address and asked if i had a US address. Nah, I just own one house. Then I asked how do you send cheques to Linus if you can't handle Canadian addresses. I won't go back. Canada Computers sells 90% of what this store does with better staff.
@@legojenn "condescending staff" that's just NoVa for ya. There's a reason Apple opened its first ever apple store there.
That unified front panel connector needs to become a standard. It is the one part of a system I either skimp on, leaving off the reset, HHD light, or it takes forever. One unified plug has been the obvious solution for well over a decade. It would greatly speed up system builds.
Case makers should just blatantly rip off NZXT here. If I'd known they were doing this I'd have bought my most recent case from them simply for that feature.

@@marcusborderlands6177 Exactly. Add in that I'm getting on in years and my fingers aren't as steady as they used to be...
7:32 The EVGA GD lineup is actually not that great quality wise. If you want a good non-modular PSU, take the BitFenix Formula Gold series; they're very well built and often cheaper as well
I like EVGA power supplies... What's wrong with that one in particular?
@@tomasrosalesr non-modular EVGA PSUs are shit. I speak from experience.
It is worth noting that the 700 GD seems to have been replaced in 2020, as the 80Plus database lists two radically different models under this name. The current one as shown in this video looks OK efficiency-wise at least, the older model (fan on top if you can read the label) had poor 10% efficiency which is not a good sign. EVGA seems to have a very confusing lineup in general, with I guess multiple different platforms from various OEMs.
@Susanna That's the most wrong thing I've seen in long time, lol.
5:00 I've learned that a reliable way of doing it is, doing a diagonal, then spreading it out manually using some extra cardboard or something, then putting some extra on the top
This was a great vid. I’ve built three pc’s already and I still enjoyed it.
great guide, will be emulating this soon for a build ill be doing. my one gripe is the use of the 3060, when for currently the same price the 6600xt is 10% ish better
Price wise on the 3060 ya. But for stability wise is way better. Still hearing about tdr crashes on amd cards. ;(
@@markdavenportjr5129 fair dos but id still take the performance myself
radeon gpus in my experience tend to have more software issues then invidia
Better in rasterizarion, worse in ray-tracing.
Also, for this tier of GPU, I'd consider DLSS a must-have. But if those don't matter to you the 6600xt is the way to go.
Honestly, for the price I would get the 3060. DLSS is a game changer for that performance bracket. And that's coming from somebody who hasn't used an Nvidia GPU in any build since 2012.

Idk linus when I built a pc for the first time I thought installing a aio was easier than the mounting fan 🤷♂️ but relating to the fool proof plan I guess it's possible to screw up the thermal liquid, even though it's near impossible to screw it up
THANK YOU! For bringing back the intro. It is noticed
I was like: "Oh, this might be something cheaper then what I got". Then I looked up the local price and it's basically the same as my AMD5600x, RTX 3070 build. I guess the DDR5 system really brings up the price huh?
Love this video. Can you do a follow up for clueless noobs like myself showing in detail the OS install, the set up for general use/gaming ( bios settings, driver downloading, etc ), and the the actual process of getting started gaming ( where to go to down load games and how to download and start playing ). This video was very helpful, but I have already mostly taught my self ( with video help ) the hardware assembly bit, it is the software part I am completely clueless. I'm mostly interested in first person shooter games, racing sims using wheels pedals and shifter, and VR using Oculus rift / rift s. I've bought second hand used hardware/controllers and a cockpit frame from amazon. Also maybe some flight sims combat mostly. Any help with this side of the process would be a blessing, also please talk slow as I am an "old fart". The last computer I built was back during Operation desert storm aka the Iraq war part 1 when I was 20.
I'm insanely curious/ excited for the data hoarder video
00:21 OK cool!!! *proceeds to go and buy the parts in the same time it takes to buy a console*
I had so given up on getting a GPU that I didn't even realize prices were down until Linus said so in this video. I've been using the same 1060 3gb from my previous 2 pc's in my new build for almost a year, and it has seriously bottlenecked my cpu
They’re WAY down. Used 2060s are 300 USD or less all over eBay, that’s what I got. That’ll set me and my 1080p monitor up for at least a few years :)
Grab a 6600 man, they're better than a 3050 by quite a bit and you can scoup one for 340 rn. ik I certainly am
Lucky bastards, the UK has yet to catch up
Now we need someone to accept the challenge. Do this build according to video, but make as much mistakes as possible. Wrong CPU fan direction, PSU fan next to a case wall, monitor into MB port... you name it. Staff makes bets on mistake count - whoever guesses closer wins.
(Saw the comment about cpu cooler base film - it should work, too. Basically if something needs to be done but not mentioned in this video, it's your "mistake").
Instructions unclear, Cat is now Astronaut.
If Microcenter can sponsor me I’ll do it, I’ll The Verge proud
Well let me tell you that I've build my first computer 1 year and a half from today and I didn't have any issues. And that was after watching you and other tech youtubers build PC's for years. It is not that hard! To be honest I was most concerned about software stuff rather than putting pieces of hardware together or wiring them. But I made it safe and sound and I am confident I can do it million more times from now. I was also scared not to mess up something while putting the CPU liquid cooler on, but nothing to be afraid of. Watching someone else doing it over and over again makes me feel like if it was me doing it over and over again.
This is awesome. Thanks.
Now on the other side of practicality build a PC in the biggest case you can find with integrated graphics and a low profile cooler. Just for lolz
I’ve been building PC’s for years but I really enjoy Linus walking me through the process. ☺️
step one: Live near a microcenter.
love that the screwdriver finally out, can't wait to save some money to buy it and await it to ship it out all the way from Canada over the sea to Malaysia.
It was a good idea to put a light in the case of the PC for the picture for the thumbnail. Those little magnetic lights sure are handy
I had enough time agonizingly waiting for my motherboard to come in that I just watched like 100 PC build videos and tbh it wasn't that hard. You just need a little patience to read through the motherboard's manual.
I know right?! My mobo arrived about 2 weeks after I got every single one of my parts, it was like torture having to use my dual core Intel and a GT 720 knowing that I had an i5-11600k and a 3060 Ti that I couldn't even use yet lol
The hardest thing when you're building your first few rigs is figuring out how to manage all your damn cables.
@@HaliOnRepeat It wasn't that bad for me, though I did have a nice case with decent clearing in the back to do the managing with.
Mostly reading the manual. "READ THE FUCKING MANUAL." - local furry, Anthony
Weird to say that this build is near impossible to screw up / being fool-proof, than having one of the more experienced hosts building it. I would have liked it to have Sarah doing it
10 minutes of shaking it to make sure it's good.
Or another one with Dennis.
she knows how to build computers now so it wouldn't matter if she built it or if linus built it
So basically, you sent a bunch of proposals for a PC build, and got more than one response. So you’re just making one for each?
This perfectly points out the challenges one might encounter when building a PC
IT'S NOT FOOL PROOF BECAUSE YOU MADE A MISTAKE!!
At 7:50 , the editor labelled the 6+2 PCIe as "CPU 8 pin", and the 4+4 EPS as "PCIe 8pin" !!
A computer building neophyte watching it would have that miss-labeling ingrained in their brain, and could potentially try to push in these cables swapped, and potentially kill their motherboard, CPU or GPU.
Remember to install X1 Precision and set fan curves to maintain 10% fan speed in idle for the EVGA 3060 TI XC.
The zero-fan mode it is in by default is going to have you have mini heart-attacks all the time because the fans spin up so suddenly your desk is gonna vibrate.
Or use something alike FanControl by Remi Mercier to make proper fancurves....
I have 3060ti Xc and there’s something wrong with your pc maybe a loose screw or cable but the card is so small that it doesn’t make snitching vibrate at all
AMD RX580 does a crazy fan braking noise that's freaking unnerving. 😖
I don't think there will ever be a case that I find more beautiful that the H510, I prefer the white color personally but the black is still sharp looking. Idk it just somehow manages to look modern without being too over the top.. that's the best way I can explain why I love it so much lol.
You should check out the white Geometric Future Model 8 Lohan
Sometimes I wonder why I watch LTT build guides while I build liquid cooled modded PCs.. well they are just too good to miss!
6:09 the ram doesn't fully seated🤣🤣🤣, anyone who follow this build, don't look at the video for referent, just listen what Linus said, "Until you hear a click on each side", the ram not supposed to look like that if it is fully seated in.
Unfortunately, after the build finishes, it will take so much work to just take it apart and reshoot the take. 🤣🤣🤣
“Fool proof” goes with Intel, requires special bracket for install, doesn’t explain XMP. As an fool myself I am flattered with your confidence in me.
Maybe do a video on the driver, software/ os side of building your own pc next? Would only make sense
For the rams make sure you insert them with the small cutout fitting the exact opposite - i've already seen ppl managing to insert them wrong way with hard pressure and by that destroying the board. ^^
Isn't the case with trash airflow?
Also completely disagree on the ITX choice. mATX have some expansion slots, can have 4 memory slots and most important, are cheaper than ITX.
This video is kinda weird for this channel.
Not this one. Not as bad at least. The original H510s, yes, but this is the "Flow" variant, which has a mesh front panel.
@@ExperiMentalDon Oh, i saw the mesh but just assumed it was modded.
Thanks for pointing out.
@@Hlidskialf No problem! I didn't even know it existed until I watched this video and looked it up
