i would love to see a comparison between the canada computers prebuilt vs this 1

[@toxsickshaun]

The wordsmith is at it again... "I really like the inclusion of these two little packets of air, that will make all the difference". My first comment dawid.. your videos bring serious humor and fun. Thanks for the videos champ ;)

[@justair44]

Yep. Definitely do want to see a Canadian Prebuilt Dawid. BTW .. I think you live in BC but we likely shop at the same memx chain (im here in Calgary) When you did that video on the T600 video card (a trimmed down 1650) I noticed they had the T1000 and the A4000. T1000 appears to just be a 1650super variant for more... but the A4000 (which I purchased) is a very interesting card. (they do have some in stock at all locations in your province) Might be a interesting video for you (although the buy in is 1500 cad) and who knows you may be able to utilize it for work as well. Kinda a 3070ti trimmed down power wise with 16G of memory.

At First it was hitting like any other pc review, but your humor and excitement got you a new sub! 😂🤣🤪

That lithium battery warning sign... I guess it's just to make those transport people to avoid extremely cold or hot area. I've ordered a simple USB 2 to USB 3 adaptor for my old motherboard transplant build... the cable was 4 bucks... and they shipped it with a box size of that of PSU with the lithium ion battery sign.

[@OxTheHerdzz]

Bro how much did you pay for shipping for DHL to only mildly curb stomp your package? They normally use mind as a soccer ball for their daily Mail Room vs Offices games

[@davidb1412]

Dawid, the battery warning refers to the cr2032 or cr2025 coin cell bios battery on the motherboard.

[@tac6044]

Hello good sir, the purpose of the tape upon the outside of the box is to conceal its contents as there is indications on the box itself.

[@ryanmcgraw1743]

I'm not sure what you plugged that ARGB cable into, because that motherboard most definitely does not have an ARGB header on it. I thought there was no way it did considering my old ASUS STRIX B450-F didn't even have one, so I looked up the tech specs and yeah, no ARGB header. Not surprised it didn't show up in the software, you plugged it into some random header!

[@droomagon]

@10:39 for Dawid, that's actually simplified chinese, and on that it says SIGNAL CONNECTOR

[@WebbsterWebby]

His comments are so funny for no reason at all this man has genuinely good humor

[@thedutyfree-tdf]

Where s best to buy my first pre built pc? I have never had a PC before and I just want to play games like GTAV and warzone and some like video editing. I have not much idea about what internals i should be looking for to meet my requirements

[@karenbelanger8621]

hey Dawid , is the music in the backround you playing?..if so it sounds cool!

[@FUGP72]

$20 for all that damage? Absurd. 1.4% partial refund! I bought a $400 hybrid bike that had a tiny scratch in the paint in an out of the way place behind the seat that was eventually covered by a saddle bag. The guy said I could either wait for a new bike, or he would put some clear sealant on it, and knock off $80, plus give me a cheap bike computer for free. I jumped at that chance. Effectively 25% off. For a much less annoying cosmetic damage.

[@doodledoo5611]

I'm conflicted, is is it okay to get pc parts (GPU) from AliExpress?

[@p0tat0es_nation64]

I bought over 50+ items on aliexpress (mostly little or medium sized items) and most of them arrived within 2 weeks. Some of them took 3 weeks to arrive, and some took only 7-10 days to arrive !

[@Rotzahn]

when you upped the speed on the ram did you just select 3000 MTs or did you activate XMP ? Timings are really important but you know that :D

[@TunsaMcHaggis]

the nvme is actually clipped in with a plastic pin, the ring is to remove the pin, and I think the b450 dragon is a china only board

[@yesilbursa]

Hey if you're selling any of these after testing, I live in Vancouver and looking for a new PC. I built all my previous systems since early 2000s but it doesn't make any sense to drop 2000+ for a half decent system these days.

[@hamdanali2036]

11:40 what do you do to view all of that info at the top left whilst gaming?

[@bluntdagger]

I saw a remote control in your last video. Perhaps compatible with your RGB fans?

[@nathanleigh9450]

that part in the intro when Dawid is about to touch the CPU water cooling block fizzled my brain when it crackled then cut

[@dmytrohyshtymult699]

Ive purchased one of those Canada computers prebuilt with 3070 in it with amd proc. It was all good until my pc was shutting off while playing cod wz… well not playing, in menu if i select Store my pc would die right away. Very interesting feature. Btw why dont you ever show fps in cod wz. Im always hoping to see that
