Secondly, they've published an article on their website titled [v] "KZbinrs Are Not Your Friends." Seems a little too convenient to be coincidence, doesn't it?

I'm sorry but how does not having enough time make you apply way way to much thermal paste and straight up install components incorrectly.

[@RanEncounter]

Glenn Ford That does not do much if you are not willing to delid and change the thermal paste inside the CPU aswell. The initial thermal paste is fine if you are not delidding your CPU.

[@RanEncounter]

Glenn Ford Well the effect of just changing thermal paste on the outside (without deliding) is around 3-5°C which is not that much for your average user. With delidding you get 7-10°C which can be very significant for overclockers. So IMO if you are not deliding your CPU, no need to bother with the thermal paste.

Do a little research... the Verge is VOX. VOX doesn't bother with minor things like facts or doing something correctly. As long as it generally looks and sounds good to the ignorant masses, then job well done for them.

[@TheZorch]

Vox also pushes a Progressive Politically Correct agenda, and how this guy is acting on Twitter proves he's that kind. There are key things that identify someone as an SJW: 1. When they make a mistake they do not take responsibility and place blame elsewhere, 2. They equate criticism with harassment (there was REAL harassment involved, but the majority of the backlash was a legitimate criticism), 3. They always play the victim. They all do this, the same way, everytime like clockwork.

Not quite so lucky; a lot of AIO radiators specifically avoid running the channels too close to where things get screwed into the radiator. There was one rather infamous AIO that didn't do this and risked puncturing even when installed correctly, though now I can't remember which one it was.

Of course the missing thumbscrew on the block, thermal paste doubling and the "cable management" are the most hilarious things but thought it's worth mentioning as well.

[@robertsnyder4963]

My only thought as to why they let this video out the door, was that they had a deadline (probably set by Capital One) that they either missed or were on "the Verge" of missing (see what I did there). They probably did a show of hands for who wants to build and test a $2000 PC, had someone jot down a script, shot the video in a few hours, sent it to editing and threw it on KZbin to hit the deadline. I'm just spitballing here, but why else would they stand behind it rather than admitting they have egg on their face and removing it or posting an update video...

The 'cover up' is the problem though. With a major sponsor they should have taken the video down and fixed the errors. But instead they blocked comments, hid dislikes, and acted like legitimate criticism is just trolls.

[@zacharygoterch168]

2:35 - Just so we’re clear on this, that is NOT an NVMe SSD, but rather a SATA 3 SSD (the drive has the gap on both sides). I watched Rich’s reaction (from ReviewTechUSA), and heard the drive mentioned as an NVMe SSD, then thought I saw the gaps on both sides of the SSD, but this reaction video confirms it for me. I haven’t done much with building systems and all that, but I’ve done enough research and watched plenty of build videos to know this guy mixed up NVMe with SATA 3, along with messing up a lot of other things.

[@Sevicify]

While this particular drive (Kingston - UV500 480GB M.2 SSD) is indeed using SATA not all B+M keyed M.2 drives (ie: gaps on both sides) necessarily use SATA. The Plextor M6e M.2 SSD for instance used AHCI over PCIe 2.0 2x providing greater than SATA 3 speeds, and MyDigitalSSD SBX 1TB NVMe M.2 is a B+M keyed NVMe drive with rated speeds 3 times that of SATA 3. The reason why we don't see more B+M keyed NVMe drives is simply because the B key notch limits the drives to 2 PCIe lanes instead of the full 4 M.2 supports hence cutting potential throughput in half. Also getting mixed up referring to M.2 drives as simply NVMe drives in general is an easy thing to do and I can forgive people making that mistake (though a tech video should know better), I wouldn't be surprised if most people didn't even know the socket is called M.2 and NVMe is actually the protocol the drive uses.

[@zacharygoterch168]

Sevicify Very true, M.2 drives can be easy to mix up to the untrained eye. Heck, it can be hard for me to tell sometimes because of how some M.2 drives are marketed on Amazon and the like.

The builder later went on to tweet that he has built numerous PC’s and the toxic gamers made him nervous, which caused the mistakes. Then said we should care less about the amount of thermal paste and more about our toxic community. He went back and forth with itsagundam for awhile. It was pretty funny. Gundam and most others were completely cool, basically saying “take it down and fix it”. He stated they had wanted him to do reshoots or a rebuild (I’m not quite sure what his comment meant exactly) but he did not want to as the build is “fine”. Not sure what his problem with fixing it. Most YT’ers acknowledge it when it happens, and fix it on stream. Not a big deal. If you can do it, Linus, UFD, Tech Deals, both Steve’s, Jay, Paul, Bitwit, and pretty much everyone who’s built more than a few PC’s overlooks something at some point. It happens to people w/far more experience than himself. I still can’t believe he screwed through the aluminum heatsink in the water cooling fans. That is mind blowing. “Hmm, these screws are taking forever...they are now securely fastened into the anti-static wooden table. This will help the PC not move as we complete the build.” Good fun!
