I rinsed and repeated and now my $1800 is fried from the water... You owe me big time bud

[@gibsongray919]

This video just saved me from using my PC for target practice.

[@Quietbut_Deadly]

I just downloaded more RAM! None of you need to do this!

[@Quietbut_Deadly]

(Yes I'm joking)

[@Kushra21]

Quietbut_Deadly do you have a websit where i could download more ram, thanx

[@KeyBrute]

Thanks. I can now play PUBG on 0 fps.

[@compuwise]

Subscribed. Liked the lighting and good close ups, Linus. Thanks!

[@greendaygigi1]

Just love the camera work. Good job Diesel!

[@WolfLarson]

So i rinsed off my ram and repeated the process just as you said and my pc is not turning on now...

[@mokahless]

+Wolf Larson You gotta let it dry first.

[@skulleon5756]

+Moka hless xD

[@andrewcook7891]

+Wolf Larson Put it in the microwave to dry

[@Deleted10Times]

don't actually rinse it

[@mannys9130]

Did you just rinse it? You need to put it in the dishwasher.

[@jamesdobree7928]

Thank you so much I didn't realise I had lined it up incorrectly till I saw this! Great video!

[@LiaCooper]

thanks for the tip about notching in the side w/o a latch first. helped so much!

[@njdss4]

I love that. Make sure to go over every little detail so that way people know he's not skipping over any important details. I hate it when people gloss over stuff when it comes to PC building. For example, when people are talking about hooking up the cables from the front I/O to the mobo, lots of people just say "and then plug the cables into your motherboard". Um, where? How? I'd love to see Linus do a video on that.

[@IceCream42]

I love the quickies that you are giving us Linus. You sure know how satisfy our needs our needs ;-)

[@mattstorr7473]

Yet another helpful and informative upload. Thank you once again.

[@sreedharvreddy]

Thanks. Earlier I couldn't figure out why the motherboard recognized the ram but your video helped get my newly built gaming pc working

[@MrWarwick15]

Your mad Linus! Love every minute of your vid's Rich.

[@Rotastico]

Linus, just incase you're not tired of hearing this.... Thank you. This channel is so friggin helpful!

[@FlightSupreme]

I already built my computer, but I still like to watch Linus' videos just because he makes them so fun and awesome! :D

[@mrvictorwp]

Would like to see a video about the pro's & con's of liqued /air cooling, and also who to install liqued cooling

[@iloveguineapigs1015]

IM SOOO GLAD U DID THIS VIDEO BECAUSE IT HELPED A LOT WITH INSTALLING MY RAM😍😍😍😍😇😇😇😇🥇🥇🥇

[@SuperAtheist]

I'd like to see a detailed series on memory timings and maximizing bandwidth!

[@gavincampbell1061]

No worries, glad I could help.

[@brandonogden3498]

My idea would be a full series showing how to choose the parts and build a pc from scratch, but I don't know how practical that is for you. Anyways, good video, hope to see more!

[@GamingBrits]

I think you should do a little series of how to trouble shoot problems, things like virus removal, troubleshooting boot problems, etc..

[@siLox95]

The Outro Was AMAZING :D

[@ashwinvisw]

Nice channel, the tips will help me a lot when i build my pc! if i have a dual channel supported motherboard,(with 4 ram slots) can i install 4x2gb? (in one kit)

[@N1k37ick]

it's different for alot of cases.. but it would be nice to see some of the more common mounting options

[@i5aac92]

Can we have a video summarizing all the different cooling options? ie Stock cooling vs after market air cooling vs all in one liquid vs traditional liquid cooling? Thanks for the videos linus :)

[@AxTenTen]

Wait so after I put the stick, do I have to make changes in bios? Or anything ? Or will it just detect after I put the stick into the slots ?

[@danielbell99]

Started from the bottom

[@Jerbod2]

Great stuff!

[@The1Pslayer]

good stuff man.

[@tigaspinoypower]

Sir why they have different colors? On the slots what is the purpose?

[@Verethy]

The light bars for the Dominator PLatinum RAM kits are not in retailers as of yet. When they are I'm sure there will be a video.

[@IshankGupta95]

Hey linus please make a video to tell about panels like ips or pls lcd panels and leds.....also tell which is better is which aspect.....thanks and you are doing exellent on all of your channels...love from india.

it's so weird to see videos from literally 3 years ago. this video has been waiting for me... wtf...

[@top2percent]

Totally worked for me. Plus I was able to make a perfect triforce.

Do you recommend those kingston ram sticks?

[@stevenmckupkake]

Oh there are 8 slots i thought there were only 4 thank you. I guess you do learn something new every day.

[@omricohen]

LOVE the new -falling linus- ending :D

[@TechWeLove]

I want to know when buying ram/motherboard/cpu, what (CAS latency) VS (ram speed) vs (pin size) = better performance.

[@VishalChaudhary-dm7uv]

Help me Linus, can I install different capacity RAM sticks in came channels? like a 2 GB stick and a 4GB Stick and how will it affect my performance? or should I install in different channels?

[@HarryWizard]

they have to be the same amount, so 4gb and 4gb or 2gb and 2gb, never used 2gb and 4gb or other assortments

[@borgaar9864]

Do you have to have 2 or 4 memory sticks? Because in all of these tutorials everyone has 2 or 4... plz respond!

[@Bowen151]

There's a longer video he did on cable management. Sleeving cables was also included i believe. Might have been on NCIX or his own channel though!

[@HelloMrPhil]

What was that intro? I didn't know if I should laugh or Unsubscribe! lol Thanks for the Videos always.

[@prototypedev9370]

The right thing to do is to is neither. Report instead!~

[@LeaX256.0]

thank you for explaining about cpuz and half data rate, that confused me when i saw that.

[@wronggeneration1994]

@hard619 no the cards don't have to be indentical, just the gpu of the car, exc. GAINWARD GTX 680 can SLI with ASUS DCII GTX680, and even overclocked or stuff like that, just the gpu matters.

[@CookieMonster-bh3pu]

can you put out the ram you have in your computer and then put in the new one and does it need to be the same ??

[@AwayToHit]

awesome outro :D

[@HekiMaggyc]

Does it matter which produsent's RAM you use with other produsents? Like Crusial mixed with Kingston. would that work?

[@TheWrightable]

nice dominator light kit

[@MikeGusFifteen]

If you only have one ddr3 module, does it matter which slot you insert it in? I just built my current rig with 8gb module but the CPU liquid cooling unit caused the first slot to get partially blocked. I inserted the ram into the next slot but it feels like there's a memory leak of some sort, especially when I play high performance games like BF4.

[@supermann908]

It shouldn't unless the slot aren't all the same.

[@stopaskingmeformynameonyou198]

Mike Gus Fifteen Your mother board manual or user information packet will tell you how to prioritize slots and which need to match if any and how. Generally, motherboards are manufactured differently. It may not always matter to follow what it says, but in doing so, you ensure everything works as intended. For example, my motherboard (ftp://66.226.78.21/manual/Z97%20Extreme4.pdf) manual indicates on page 23 to follow everything Linus just mentioned for probably the same reasons. However, some manufacture may tell you it's better to place memory closer to CPU first if there are other components to consider in your MoBo design. Best suggestion: find out max capacity, and max it, then you don't have to worry about slot priority, you just fill 'em all!!

[@Fleuver]

Oh I JUST got it... Good one there. Damn good one sir :)

[@HalcyonVoid]

Yes, you want to put matching pairs in the same colored slots.

[@bornwisedistruction]

I didn't even realize this was a new Chanel till the end of the video I just saw Linus and clicked.

[@omerhen4664]

Can i mix to sets of RAM cards ? one set of 8GB (4GB each) and the second of 16GB (8GB each). Can i do something like that ? PS. you're video helped a lot !

[@hard619]

Yes and please tell us which cards can connect with which. meaning do they have to be identical for such a setup or? what to look for. tnx

[@tosasaurus5783]

What if you have 4 sticks and there are two of those 4 slot ram ports one on each side, not just one.

[@INFLICTEDPAIN213]

what about if it has 12 slots total, 6 black, 6 red, is that triple or 'hexagonal'? for reference its the evga classified sr-2

[@joshuapowell4132]

Thanks so Much helped out a load

[@FlightSupreme]

I like that you know the names of the parts of the motherboard and still got the CPU installed in wrong slot. :D

[@TomatoBreadOrgasm]

My ASUS X79 has the channels set up so that each memory slot is mirrored with the second slot on that channel across the CPU socket, and as such ASUS recommends that memory be installed in pairs with each stick being on opposite sides of the CPU socket. This board appears to be of the latest generation, does it not work the same way? I think that, ultimately, one must RTFM, odds are issues like RAM placement have been addressed by the manufacturer or patent holder.

[@SoAwesomelyFunny]

hey linus what kind of internet connection do you have? how fast is it?

[@Megabean]

Why am I watching this, ive been installing ram for 10 years!!!! lol I guess I just like Linus's voice.

[@onutube6392]

So you've been installing ram for 18 years huh?

[@Maknez]

what motherboard is that ?

[@fartdemolisher09]

Thank you man!! ^_^

[@stevenmckupkake]

Ok thank you very much i was just wondering.

[@BoBBaB0oN]

what did you do on the roof ?

[@MohdKhairulZaman]

I already have 8GB ram single stick installed and after I add another 8GB ram (both are 1.5V, same cas latency shows in cpu-z), the system shows 16GB but only 8usable. I've tried ensure that in bios memory mapping is enabled, reseated the rams as well as go to msconfig and unchecked/untick the maximum memory box in the advanced options of boot tab. None of it works. please help.

[@maikhanhchi4479]

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

[@marnix2028]

So i switched my very old 2x 4s for 2 hyper furys x 2x8, My motherboard has 4slots If i put them all in will i get 8+16=24 or doesnt it work like that

[@blokfluitknaap9874]

Should be able to, I am no expert on RAM usage but just a quick google: www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804752/types-ram.html

[@jakobgjertsen2801]

What is the difference between the blue and black slots

[@MistahSecksi]

I already knew how to install ram, I'm just here to ask if I install ram a second time resets the pc?

[@gamerzgamerz6058]

No, your pc will not reset. I am commenting after 5 year

[@The_Asshat]

would this ram kit by corsair (CMD64GX3M8A2400C10) work with a rampage 4 extreme and a 3970x?

[@amirhoseinkargar3733]

Thanx as fast as possible

[@Verethy]

This is because the X79 platform has Quad Channel RAM, where as the motherboard he is using is on the Z77 platform which uses Dual Channel RAM.

[@DoshNosh1]

Techquickie Noob question here but... say I have a dual channel motherboard i want to install two sticks of ram into the motherboard. I would therefore use both black channels. If this is the case, what use is the other coloured channel? Since you wouldnt be able to use them to install triple or quad channel ram. Is the other channel for installing separate sticks similar to running two video cards? Also would it be better to use two sticks of 4gb ram (in the black channels (on a dual channel board)) OR use 4 sticks of 2gb ram in both the black and blue channels (again on a dual channel board) thanks for the help!!

[@B3tterTh4nU]

I believe that 4 sticks of 2 GB would run faster because of having twice as many memory banks (I'm not a hardware expert but this is my intuitive guess and seems to be reflected in the price of RAM); however, 2 sticks of 4 GB would allow you to more easily upgrade in the future (if needed) by simply adding two more sticks of RAM.

[@KevinColumbus]

Dual dual channel! Two dual channels.

[@rosagibson6570]

When it means dual channel it means it is optimized for dual channel sets.

[@richardjbattyjr]

Could you do one on buying ram with the best timings?

[@ChrisPBacon2010]

Turn caps lock off, and are you sure your motherboard can handle more than 1600MHz? What board are you using?

[@boostergold9160]

Third, the sequence only matters when you have 2 sticks of ram or you have 2 sets of mixed ram modules. I will use the the board you have in the video as an example. See where ur finger is pointing (1:44)... if you had 2 sticks, then you will fill A1, B1 and leave the other slots empty. Always follow the number sequence etched on the board and you can't go wrong. Never go by color code alone because most of the stuff we use comes from Asia and I don't trust those guys. If all ur mem slots were red or black or any other color then you would have no choice but to look at the module sequence on the board to be sure. Read the board and it will make life easy.

[@shir7236]

Hey. Can someone help me out with my issue. I have 4 GB of RAM on A MSI Global B75MA-E33. The RAM's default that came with that motherboard and I want to upgrade. What RAM should I get or it doesn't really matter which one I get. Would it still run in dual channel mode or would it slow down my PC. Currently I have 1 4GB stick.

[@mariobosnjak99]

How to take out the ram cards though?If i wanted to upgrade the pc

[@Verethy]

The board at the start is a Gigabyte GA-X79S-UP5, then he swaps to a ASUS P7P55D-E Premium which is just an older chipset than the Z77.

[@glytch5]

Man I wish one of these tech guys would help me out with my ram issues. I've tried everything on the forums. windows is reserving half my memory in windows 7 home. half my 8 gigs. Done all the easy regedit stuff, msconfig stuff mem test. idk what the hell to do.

[@candoslayer]

are you running a 32 or 64bit version of windows because 32 bit cant use any more that 4gb

[@OninOfine]

whats the difference from 2 4gb ram, one in each blue slot and one in blue and black?

[@Progan666]

I love ram installation ram instillation loves me follow along its easy you'll see! dayum that's stuck in my head now

[@Bidalotroxi]

I got 4 sticks but only 3gb + i just removed one and i cant put it back plz help

[@siddarthavedagiri92]

Can I put just 3 sticks?

[@Avenrei]

So let me get this right. What Linus refer to is that Windows Home Premium (ie windows 8), would not recognise more than 16 GB per slot. Or 16 x 4 = 64 GB is the limit. Right?

[@KeithPerilla]

i have hp pavilion 2009 dekstop motherboard manufaturer:foxconn model:ETON CAN I RUN IT WITH HYPERX 4GB DDR3?

[@TetraSky]

Trim js a command that allows an OS to inform an SSD which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be deleted, this is due to how the OS deal with deleted files on a HDD, they simply remove the files from the MFT, to make things go faster, which is then rewritten over when new data is placed on the HDD. SSD don't work that way, if a file is deleted from the MFT, it's still on the flash and it won't be overwritten since the SSD consider that part as "used", thus the need for TRIM.

[@1967KID]

I got asus Sabertooth r 2.0 pny gaming memory 1866hz 16gb kit ,it says 1.65v but I got it on 1866hz 1.5v how do I fix the voltage on my motherboard i look at everything can't find were to change it in bios it runs perfect tho just like to know if there's any difference from 1.5v to 1.65v .thank you

[@JeremiahSibal]

What model of motherboard is this?

[@Zonger]

not related to the video but does the i3 2100 bottleneck the 750ti

[@TheMagicalTouch]

I have. I have 64bit Home premium. Got it as an OSM install

[@jjchenjj]

Does it matter if I have two different brands of ram? Cause I have 4gigs from 2 years ago and now I want to add another 4gigs.
