[@CyberForest]

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!

[@KingLarbear]

I would have no idea what any of this means

[@BikingWIthPanda]

Susanna is wrong, just letting a newb know a concept exists helps them know to learn about it

[@noble64890]

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.

[@MASTER179]

[@bigbean9403]

@@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.

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).

[@JJFlores197]

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.

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.

[@DanKaschel]

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.

[@stephentidwell2244]

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.

[@or2kr]

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

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.

Also if your machine has an intel CPU with an iGPU then you can use QSV which does numbers.

@@tomasrosalesr non-modular EVGA PSUs are shit. I speak from experience.

[@PileOfEmptyTapes]

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.

“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.

[@PNWAffliction]

we dont have micro centers here, but I still love the bits you do with them, always fun trip down memory lane.

[@dreamwastakenlol5316]

the screwdriver is more expensive than my setup

[@HedgehogY2K]

For a cpu like the 12600K? Dude, an A12 9800 will fully utilize a GTX 1650 at least. I think any general brand new i3 or Ryzen 3's gonna be just fine with mid-ranged RTX.

[@jarlerak1]

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

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Price wise on the 3060 ya. But for stability wise is way better. Still hearing about tdr crashes on amd cards. ;(

[@jarlerak1]

​@@markdavenportjr5129 fair dos but id still take the performance myself

[@WatuCline]

radeon gpus in my experience tend to have more software issues then invidia

[@DanKaschel]

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.

[@marcusborderlands6177]

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.

[@scruff921]

Can’t afford ( not because I think it’s too expensive) it but I love that you guys advertise it now

[@droplet1466]

Can we get a video going over the audio recording equipment that you use? And some options for shotgun/off camera microphones for streaming and video calls?

[@JendaLinda]

Finally somebody makes front panel connector in one piece. All motherboards produced in last 20 years or so are using the same pinout of front panel connector. If anybody needs to use some weird board, they can just get some dupont wires from Aliexpress. Do you remember when front USB cables were also terminated in individual wires?

[@ekeclout3941]

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.

[@everettrailfan]

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

[@HaliOnRepeat]

The hardest thing when you're building your first few rigs is figuring out how to manage all your damn cables.

[@ekeclout3941]

@@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.

[@beardedgaming1337]

i have spent today soldering and flashing new eeprom and SPI chips to get various cards working on older or unsupported machines. perfect day for a "easy PC build video"...

[@TizzyT455]

Just so everyone knows, I've bought those 128GB flashdrive (yellow ones, 4 in fact for sanity sake) and the are probably just 32GB with some firmware trickery to show up as 128GB. They will work up to the 32GB but after that speeds drop to near 0 and files refuse to be written and even corruption. I've told my local microcenter (St Davids) about this several times but nothing's happened. My purchase were spread out across about a total of 6+ months. Posting this here in hopes to warn the public. Sure I might be an isolated case but 4 times spanning months, I don't think that is coincidence.

[@Atomix_117]

I know full well how to build a pc and have built a few over my life and I still watched the whole video for some reason.

[@Cornflake520]

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.

[@MeMe-fh3xw]

Or use something alike FanControl by Remi Mercier to make proper fancurves....

[@laloreta798]

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

[@zonaloca]

AMD RX580 does a crazy fan braking noise that's freaking unnerving. 😖

[@JakeLikesTech]

7:51 6+2 is PCIE and 4+4 is CPU, swap them around.

[@shawty2875]

I disagree with one thing in this video, that being cable management. The cable management in this build is so bad lmao, i get that it was supposed to be a quick build but for all the new builders out there if you want your pc to look good, cable manage it right the first time. If you brush it off to "do it later" i guarantee that the cable management will stay like that for atleast a year. It is so simple to just do it when you originally build the pc and it will make it look so much better. Other than that this is a pretty good build

Pro Tip Leave Side of Case off always has access if problems, wicked vid as always

[@llamapi3]

You recommended the 700 GD for a possible RTX 4000 upgrade which will all use the new power connector which needs 3 PCI-E 8 pins. The 700 GD only has two. It is not a future-proof PSU.

[@faaaaq]

Not every single 40xx RTX card is going to require three 8 pin connectors...

[@Ahnii]

Maybe do a video on the driver, software/ os side of building your own pc next? Would only make sense

[@Hlidskialf]

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.

[@ExperiMentalDon]

Not this one. Not as bad at least. The original H510s, yes, but this is the "Flow" variant, which has a mesh front panel.

[@Hlidskialf]

@@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

[@Mavitros]

I have quite a few problems with this video. Mainly that Linus assumes someone doing their first pc build wants to drop $400 on an ssd, and $300 or more on RAM. Very conflicting to talk about being able to reasonably by a gpu when you don’t even mention you could save money with DDR4 and a pcie 3.0 drive. ALSO, that drive will ABSOLUTELY throttle if you don’t have the heatsink on it. My 2TB Samsung 970 evo was hitting 60C installing games WITH a heatsink on it.
