so Channel with over two million subscribers built a PC recently and the build and the guide itself is so bad to the point where anyone should not look at that guide and take it seriously at all there's just mistake after mistake and the worst thing about it is we all make mistakes but it's the aftermath that's the worst thing they haven't taken the video down they've disabled likes disabled comments and there's 13 names on those credits in the outro 13 names so this went through at least more than one person at the very least so how did they get it so wrong when there are awesome guides on how to build your first PC on the Internet but anyway we'll start from the start here he says you need a table well of course first you need a table preferably not metal if it's going to be metal have an anti-static working surface layer it on top of it and then he proceeds to put on a wrist strap that isn't even connected to anything so it serves absolutely no purpose at all he then states that you these are tweezers some tweezers have tied up the wires when they clearly zip ties and you don't need them in this particular case the 280x because it comes included with its own zip ties then he says you need like a Swiss Army knife and hopefully it has a Phillips head in it a Swiss Army knife which hopefully has a Phillips head screwdriver in it like please just grab yourself a Phillips head screwdriver there are a dollar at thrift stores and they even come with a magnetized head at that costs then he goes on to say screw in with confidence when you're screwing the screws but don't screw too tight and screw in with confidence but also don't screw in too hard other ways you could crack the boring it's just called screwing wrist type mate that's what we call it so when your wrist can't screw it in anymore that's when you stop screwing so you don't cross thread anything and then later on they install an i/o shield but they call it a brace pay close attention to the brace that goes at the back of the computer you always have to make sure that you really hammer it in and they actually uh if you look at later in the video 310 they are using that's that army knife and the and the screwdriver on it too this PC built mind-blown and then 356 I've never heard the use of the word input like this there in putting the nvme into the motherboard it's not the matrix mate I chose this format of solid-state drive so they could input it into the motherboard without having to worry about extra wires 4:21 it looks like they haven't installed the nvme properly either it there should be a screw that goes under that end part and then over that you put the screw in and it installs horizontally flush this could cause some problems for your nvme drive I'm not too sure I haven't actually used that motherboard specifically then moving on at 5:23 they say make sure you insert the power supply this way so it doesn't short-circuit and make sure that you align it with these little insulating pads so the power supply isn't short-circuit and it come into contact with the rest of the system power supply is not gonna short-circuit unless you drop water in it or drop screws in it and stalling it the wrong way is not gonna short-circuit it but in this case the 280x installing it the right way on the vibrator pads is gonna make sure that it doesn't vibrate at 5:36 this is probably my biggest problem yet they've mounted the power supply around the wrong way it's going to be starved of airflow completely and this is very dangerous for instance if you've got a 500 watt power supply you're gonna be running into 400 watts that power spiking start to get hot and if you've got it completely starved of air it can literally blow up and then take components with you especially over time I mean Corsair power supply is the one they've used have a good safety measures in place but you don't want to be constantly tripping those safety measures if your computer is just randomly shutting off the two ATX I've already taken a look at it it's an amazing case and you mount it around the other way and there's a grill there to allow airflow to go into the pounce play and then blow out the back at 6 minutes and 14 seconds they're using the wrong screws to install the radiator and they haven't even installed the fans on the radiator which they don't show them installing in the entire video so if you're going to install a water cooler in the 280x just install the fans first that way you'll know if it lines up and it's not going to hit the motherboard or anything like that any case that matter and then also use the smaller screws to attach them to the top of the case he said it took a long time so there's nothing special about this screening process they're just really long screws because they go through the entire frame of the cooler and they take forever no wonder you used the wrong screws and then later on the builder inserting the CPU pretty much lost in the process and this is actually another dangerous point in this bill because you're in a micro ATX case is not a lot of room to work with installing the CPU first before you even put the motherboard in the build is much better so you don't drop it or you don't bend any pins while you're trying to get that CPU in if you've got limited space to work with it can be a problem so just and especially in the - ATX just insert your CPU before you even put the motherboard into the case it's going to make life much easier the RAM is a different story sometimes you've got coolers that may not clear the RAM so I can understand them installing the RAM after they put the motherboard in the case but continue on they use this bracket and they say you got to use it so what having this little installer does for you is it's basically a brace that you can apply right to the CPU and light it up with the triangles that you'll see on the bottom left corners and this will make it easier for us to apply it to the motherboard and then apply thermal paste and then apply a CPU cooler on top and then when they're in studying the CPU they don't use it at all and then eight minutes and 17 seconds is that every cooler comes with thermal paste so we're about to apply thermal paste to the CPU every CPU cooler actually comes with a bit of thermal paste already neatly applied in a circle around it no they don't some coolers especially air coolers will come where there's a sticker and some own thermal paste in a tube that you can apply yourself and then they go on eight minutes and 28 seconds to apply extra thermal paste on a intel rainbow cpu you do not need to apply any extra thermal paste with this corsair all-in-one it'll do an absolutely fine job how it is out of the box but pretty much they just literally make a flood here of thermal paste on the cpu now this is a bad thing if that thermal paste you have is capacitive like Arctic silver 5 for example your computer just won't boot up so do not apply this much thermal paste and if you've got a cooler like the Corsair all-in-ones that they're using you don't even need any extra thermal paste applied and then we move on to 9 minutes and 6 seconds and the cable management here is just non-existent in the past you guys hear me joke about jungle sandwiches but this is how a jungle sandwich is born ladies and gentlemen people just don't care about how they work with pcs there's not even a step in this guide to show how to manage cables in a case like the 280x which is designed for easy cable management there's room at the back where you can hide cables if you're sloppy with cable management and then in the front there's so many easy places to route cables I don't know how they got this one so wrong and then in 9 minutes and 12 seconds they said they made it to the post screen and we got to the post screen and that's a miracle 9 minutes and 50 seconds they're playing like literally the easiest to play multiplayer game out there on a $2,000 PC and they're capping the frames to 120 fps and saying you're you don't really need it I'm averaging 120 FPS and that's only because I've actually locked the game to that framerate because I can get around 300 FPS playing League on maximum settings which is a little bit absurd and you don't really need that so I locked it competitive gamers actually do need higher frame rates this is proven they love high frame rates to get the fastest drawer possible so they can get a competitive edge so that's about it with the video itself but I managed to find this image out there on the internet of the build finish but you get to see a different angle of it and the first thing that come to mind is another dangerous point that is the cooler itself is missing a screw in the bottom left corner and if you're going to exclude screws when you're mounting a cooler either matter only on one diagonal or two diagonals don't leave one screw out because that corner will then have uneven pressure and this can allow the CPU to overheat in a bad way you also get to see the way that they've installed the RAM and it's on the two outer dims on the motherboard which they essentially you'd pair memory together in a channels and this is not the way to do it you're going to get single channel memory out of this when you don't need to you can get dual channel for just moving one of those dims into another slot anyway that's about it for the mistakes that I've found in this video it's easily one of the worst bills I've seen on the Internet to date and especially coming from a channel with over 2 million subscribers what the hell is going wrong this video should not be left up because it's so miss informative that someone could follow this who's just getting into PC building and make some serious mistakes and cost themselves time and money and you don't want to do that to someone just getting into PC building and only that there's more than one name on this video - so how did more than one person with a channel over 2 million subscribers get it so wrong I have no idea but in the aftermath this is the worst thing that's happened they've left the video up there disabled comments disabled likes instead just take the video down and make a follow-up video just saying hey sorry we made some mistakes here's not what to do if you're doing PC building and here's how we fix those mistakes you'll get a lot more views you'll get a lot more love there's just no need to do this and claim the ignorance card anyway guys hope you enjoyed this video if there's any more mistakes you guys found this video and be sure to point them out and I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bye it makes it really useful if you want to install a core i7 hexa core CPU yeah we've got one fake GTX 780 yep we've got one
