Newegg Tutorial: PC Tune-Up - Cleaning and Basic Upgrades

[theninjachannel]

why does dis nigga have a floppy disc drive?

[Buttfuckbysquirl]

what case is that? a 922?

[jussaw]

@Buttfuckbysquirl Yeah it is.

[threadysparrow]

@Buttfuckbysquirl yeah i just bought an haf 922 and it is so easy to use. it was very easy for me to install parts into. if you are building a gaming machine then you really need to spend some money on a case. this case has a lot of holes and it has a lot of mounts for different size fans, power supplies, atx and micro atx motherboards, and it has a lot of legroom for the psu cords. it is easily worth $150 like some other cases but it only costs $100. best case I have ever had.

[RetroDeepOrb]

a can of air. ah I will go bottle some up now

[Xxd3cayxX]

NEWEGG.COM IS THE BEST. NOT ONLY DO THEY SELL GREAT PRICED, HIGH QUALITY PARTS WITH FAST SHIPPING, BUT THEY TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE AMAZING INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS LIKE HOW TO DO MAINTENANCE OR BUILD A COMPUTER. I LOVE IT AND WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE MY PRODUCTS FROM THEM.

[dham99]

@Xxd3cayxX and..i switched from TigerDirect because NewEgg doesnt charge sales tax in TX!!! Saved me $30 on a new GTX560 448 core 1280MB video card! But neither site sells DDR28500 memory very cheap :/

still, great tutorials, keep em up!

[7solidstate7]

I use a shock Vac to blow out my computer all the time. I dont understand why I shouldn't.

[randyck]

Hi.  My name is Mike, and I am a technophile.

[Rienei]

how long do we wait in between each spray for it to be safe? I hear something about compressed air would make the parts cold and damaged if sprayed too consistently.

[jackson7967676856544]

lol what happened a 8:41

[ducks5k]

what case model is it?

[gguunneer]

question if i have a ripjaw memory ram on my computer can i get a kingston memory ram can are they compatibal ?

\

[MrMarson123456]

@gguunneer the name brand of it doesnt really matter but some have different sizes. ddr1 ddr2 and ddr3 check to see if they are compatible

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

PAUL HAD GLASSES?!

[kyle830]

A good review. Even though my Acer case from 7 years old looks completely different inside.

[ktownskates]

Lol he has a floppy drive

[sasuke1018]

Newegg.com

I know that website, My server using 640 Gb hard drives i got for only $30.00



[cassandra5322]

that heat spreader is really gangsta 

[MetalMan2k]

I am no PC Expert, but after I remove old video card, and if I wish to replace RAM as well, I will do it after old video card removal so as to not damage new video card. I make sure video card is the last to install.

[MetalMan2k]

[MrJamesferguson]

You put that memory in wrong. You puss in one side at a time.

[xousnet]

@k24boy123. Obviously I was referring to the memory he was holding and none of the DDR (1-3) modules are reversible so if you remove 'slightly' from from my comment it holds for all current version of DDR.

[50red510]

ssd boot faster right but it is more expense if anymore downssides please tell me

[Spright0]

Forgot to add a lot of information i would love to take your place you know nothing you need to uninstall your old graphics card drivers. before you insert the new one......

[Divad1maluku]

@Spright0 lol, you don't need to do that first... just unnistal it when you boot the pc for the first time with new graphics card

[puffydogg]

ive been using vacuums on the inside of many different pc's for years... no problems yet. As long as your not rubbing the hose attachment back and forth on the components repeatedly...thats what will build up a static charge.

[xDm5x9tZpp]

I wanna fill your slot lol

[Nixk490]

I use my vacuum cleaner on the inside of my case. Why not?

[Folixe]

@Nixk490

If you use your vacuum near static sensitive components, it can ruin them. Either buy one of those fancy 300 bucks anti static vacuums, or use canned air.

[Nixk490]

@Folixe It has a really long plastic sucker thing. Not one of those hand-held vacuums.

[Folixe]

@Nixk490

I wasn't talking about the hand held vacuums. The long plastic tubes cause static too.

[Nixk490]

@Folixe Never knew that, Ive been using it for years with no problems.

[Folixe]

@Nixk490

Google it. You will find many people asking about it and people talking about it. I work as a game technician at an arcade and we have a $300 vacuum specifically for cleaning off anything near a board. I'm not saying that it is for sure going to break it, but it's a bad choice.

I personally just use canned air. Never had to use a vacuum or anything that heavy duty.

[theonlyraybenz]

my Haf 932 dawrfs you're little dinky case.... get off the block kid!

[chronofusion]

does newegg.com not know how to delete threepeat entries.lol..im guessing xousnet didn't purposely intended to put that three times. Probably had internet lag spike or something..he happens

[MJBDC07]

best way to clean with those air sprays is to hold it upside down and spray on you pc components. removes dust alot better than holding it normally

[MJBDC07]

you look like a ninja turtle

[ChucklesNuts]

Is Anyone Old Enough To Remember What Happend To IBM When They Used Plastic HDD Mounts??? Plastic And HDD's Are A Bad Mix...

[ChucklesNuts]

Paul Wears Glasses... OMG

[Omega320]

SATA/SATA2 HDD don't use jumpers anymore

[MrSuperdupermies]

How is the case called

[xnick123]

@MrSuperdupermies Cooler Master Haf 922.

I'm pretty sure its the 922, if not its the 932.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[crimson177]

4870...  old dx11

[LarsReviews]

Why don't they just make 3.5 inch SSD Drives? Would that equal more Hard Drive space, and the hole HHD slot is filled.

[SonicTheFighters]

@LarsReviews Because they're intended for laptop use as well.

[Xisme66]

Just curious, if you have a very hairy arm, will that cause greater static electricity?

[magicdevil09]

@Xisme66 yes, shave ur arm

[stoopidcheepfilms]

i never cleaned up my pc.. my cpu was running at 60 degrees c, but after the cleanup it was running at 45 degrees hah.

[zopdog911]

nice wire management good airfolw

dont for get, if your video card is a 2sloter make shour you have your sata cables in before you install it.

[PetesBloodyHand]

You have to be careful with that canned air. Sometimes it can blow out liquid.

[Maxxee01]

I have a question about the hardrive installation. When i install a new one, all my other data will be lost right?

And if i wanted to install 3 instead of 1, do i need to do anything different?

[3atPie]

can u teach us how to cook eggs :)

^^ lol sry for crap joke

[pbfreak9666]

Wow, great video. I want that case. :O

[weward]

if i have good specs, but i dont have great case and cooling stuffs, what will happen to my rig? (im not goin to overclock or change anything)

[epinky2295]

you will be just fine... but think of your computer as another human... do you like to be hot and sweaty when your working your ass off?? thats what youre doing to the computer

[legatus197]

What model Cooler Master case is this?

[kingdoc]

that is a cooler master HAF 922

[kingdoc]

coolermaster HAF 922

[FascistNation]

Very good lighting and video work. 720HD big screen...time to start wearing makeup;-)

I thought the cleaning tips were substandard. A lure to encourage adding upgrades. But the demo on upgrading was quit useful to newbies to show them it is really easy.

[NikeySunfire]

I don't trust these locking mechanisms on latest cases...it leaves the component all flimsy (look at the video 9:27)

[SeikoPsycho]

Do dust filters really make any difference in amount of dust build-up?? Finer dust will still get in and fine dust is harder to clean right??

[OliverKrystal]

Jeesh guys. Buy a 10 dollar anti-static wrist strap. I've worked on other computers without it, but I won't work on mine without it.

It basically keeps you continually grounded. So if you forget to ground yourself, you're still grounded.

[iSven08]

What do I do if my new processor has no "pin outs" on it?

[xousnet]

"There is a notch directly in the center"

This is incorrect. The notch is slightly off center to prevent morons from installing the memory backwards.

[Cormin]

@xousnet he said make sure to align it correctly..

[nonamre]

@xousnet He also forgot to mention that to make sure you don't static shock your components...you need to have the PSU's cord in an outlet and in the PSU with the power button turned off and to make sure the outlet is grounded in order to really get the static off of you...this is a very sloppily done review...

[bobiana289]

@xousnet Of course unless the RAM is DDR3 then the notch is offset a great deal. 

[arcadefirerocks]

@xousnet Exactly. The 'notch' is only there because people who aren't qualified to do upgades, think they know enough is install RAM. Clever use of the word 'morons' sent me ROFL

[using192]

@xousnet -.- if they notch wsnt there how the fuck u know how to put it in then?

[toontent]

@using192 if the notch isn't there, you probably bought the wrong type of ram, or it is REALLY old

[using192]

@toontent i dont know an RAM without one and that goes back to 1989 :P

[xousnet]

@CompleteStatement

I highly recommend you take your own advice:

Go to wikipedia and search for "DDR3". It seems YouFail doesn't allow URLs in comments.

[xousnet]

@CompleteStatement

I highly recommend that you take your own advice:

Go to Wikipedia and search for DDR3 (YouFail does not appear to allow links) No DDR module is reversible. Yes, DDR2 is appears close but it's still off center.

[xousnet]

@CompleteStatement

I highly recommend that you take your own advice:

Go to Wikipedia and search for DDR3 (YouFail does not appear to allow links) No DDR module is reversible. Yes, DDR2 is appears close but it's still off center.

[askloglog]

@xousnet this is true, well at least for ddr2 ram, ddr 3 has shifted the notch down even more... and to be clear, NO you cannot put ddr3 ram into ddr2 or vise versa

[k24boy123]

@xousnet only on ddr3

[teddy405139]

@k24boy123 I think it's also on DDR2, it's very slightly off center to prevent the memory from beoing installed backwards. DDR3 is just more offset.

[OldEnoughVick]

@xousnet How the fuck would you know if it's backwards or not? Please teach me oh great tech guru.

[SlayerExopsGamers]

@xousnet Yup, because no one else noticed that....

[Schnikerdoodle]

SSD's are the place to spend your money if you want the most efficient performance increase for your computer.

[asus3571]

i agree both memory and ssds are the best upgrade i just built an i7 rig that had a raptor drive still fast but decided to get a crucial m225 ssd and wow the difference w/7 disk score when from 5.9 witch is the highest youll get with a single plater drive score whent up to 7.3 believe it or not the lowest score on my system is the gpu at 7.0 fucker flies though

[DrMu5tCh3at2W1n]

"In some cases..."

is that cases as in computer case or cases as in situation? lol

[warrior5496]

Good tips on showing how to clean out pc's, I've had my first pc build for about 5 months and never cleaned it out, not all that dusty and the temps are the same :) plus the h50 hydro helps with not gathering dust ;)

[warrior5496]

Oh, and sleeved cables from a power supply may tidy things up, but they're dust magnets for sure, I had a layer of dust covering my main 24 pin power cable.

[sda3]

the jump cuts in the newegg videos really drive me mad.

[downwithdinosaurs]

yes, I wish they'd just do flame-wipe transition effects for every cut.. FWOOSH!

[mostliberal]

I just cleaned my computer a few days ago. It collected dust for a year, and increased my components' temperatures by 5-7C. The dust completely clogged up the intake fans.

[JetpackSniper085]

holy shit! Totally getting the HAF 932 now. I make my girlfriend clean out her machine at least once per week.

[ImGuitarX]

ZOMG GETTING THAT CASE NAO!!!!

[Lueseiseki]

a little light on the cleaning, huh?

[fundamentaltheorem]

@wufeizhang - It's a 700w OCZ ModXStream Pro (OCZ700MXSP).

[wufeizhang]

What power supply was that he had in the case?

[GruntyStudios]

Looks like an OCZ 700W.

[DarkSydeDrew]

What Case is that its like the swiss army knife for cases

[crispindogs4]

Cooler master HAF 932 or 922

[DragonAge1103]

I prefer the 932 dimension wise they are not very different at all. I prefer the look of the HAF 932 with the small military looking side windows over your CPU area.

[FireKnight43]

It's the Cooler Master HAF 922, the HAF 932 would have what looks like a giant X on the one side.

[Jlowe258]

blow dust all over the place and vacuum when its all done :P

[dansobolanu]

Are you seriouse ? :))) if you wanna clean a pc take off all the coolers wash them well with anything then dry them with a hair dryer, to the remaining components inside use first a dust dispersal and after that a spray or other cleaning solutions and so on change or put a new thermal paste to the cpu and vga card ...and so on ....

[hammerogod]

Found the case and ordered one.... $79.00 wo/ps and + ship...great looking case.

[t3hsniper]

Sure you don't want to put that hd4870 in my case? ;)

[wileyjt1]

For some reason I can't post the link to the case so this is the name of it: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel + Plastic and Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

[Warrior59]

@wileyjt1

The Haf 922 is the same case he is using.

[120Productions]

c an you put up a link to that case plz =D

[cak102]

i love these tutorials i cant wait to see the next one!

[architorture04]

I always keep one hand on the case, one hand on the vacuum nozzle - that helps to dissipate the static (if there even is any). Much more convenient than taking it outside with a loud, clunky air compressor. Compressors can also blow minute machine oil and moisture into your PC, no?

[Zenodilodon]

I cringed at the vacuum ,,, no lie

[haytotheden]

Please Newegg. Get a channel on cable or something. Just like my dad watches car building shows all day, I would love nothing more than to tune in to this kind of show all day long.

[TheWoWRevelation]

@haytotheden forget cable...they need to ship internationally..

[arcadefirerocks]

@haytotheden AMEN heytotheden! Get a tv channel newegg! Nothing like blowing off homework for PC building!

[satinderjit4]

@haytotheden i agree i would love to watch them on tv i'll never miss a show

[watershed44]

@haytotheden

Exactly...when "techTV" went away nothing worthwhile replaced it G4 was and is a joke.

I wish Newegg would get together with a cable network like Discovery and develop a dedicated technology channel that actually had LOTS of REAL DIY stuff like this!

Part of the reason I'm dumping cable/sat TV is because there is very little worth watching out of hundreds of channels.

[captcarl13]

I wish I could make my cable management look so clean.

Suggestion: if you have an air compressor, get yourself a high-pressure nozzle and turn your regulator pressure down real low. 5-10psi is more than plenty to blast dust off fans and out of corners. It saves on buying cans of air, and you get a lot more punch out of the compressor.

[wileyjt1]

Plugout: if you use a vacuum cleaner you risk static from the vacuum shocking your system and breaking parts. Plus sometimes you can bump into components and break them too.

[PlUgOuT]

A question: What happens when you clean the interior with a vacuum cleaner?

[queenlaker]

thanks so much . great teacher. nice case

[b0ss6769]

I use B&D leaf blower tooo ;))))

[Jeff3210]

Spring already?  There's snow on the ground still in Chicago :(

[XReflection]

Nice video :D

[phoenix1333]

Lol im buying this case, it's a haf 922 since no side fan.

[Whoo71]

Those hard drive racks look pretty unstable.

[TheGreatStash1994]

I have the HAF 932 and the racks are plenty stable for holding a hard drive.

[lucirz]

anyone know what case that is?

[getlow1985]

haf 922

[FrPSh]

Awesome, informative video guys!

[canviskiller]

HAF922 is the case in this video.

[DJ2H]

I am about to build a pc,the one I have is quite old, its only a 32bit single core and I maxed it out. I am gonna do some shopping for parts  in a few days.

[GhostRyder2008]

What's the name of the case shown in this video?

[jedidude75]

It's either a Cooler Master HAF 922 or 932. I think It's a 932.

[TheGreatStash1994]

its a 922

[savior02]

NZXT FTW!

[k3n12ock]

That's a nice case. I only have a mid size atx.

[mikepalomino]

@xMUSICxMANx & @SpencerKos The HAF cases, of which I have the 932, is the best friggin' case I have ever had the pleasure of using. It was a sheer pleasure to work with it. I cannot say enough about this case. It's just amazing.

Yeah it's a bit of a dust magnet, but nothing a can of air and vacuum can't handle :)

[daytonadav2]

@Realman10000 Would you like a cookie??? That's an alright system but I really wouldn't be bragging about it on youtube. You sound like a one-upper.

[s0vietmudkips]

Nice subliminal marketing, "might as well throw in some upgrades".

Nevertheless they are decent tips, lol

[Marklindo13]

i remember the vids of you guys building that PC. I loved it

[SamuelS1289]

Go HAF 922, same case I have..!

[cyrax1311]

I do the same thing to clean my pc with the canned air works great.

[redomg]

i stick my vac in the pc ... ITS WAY BETTER THEN BLOWING AIR AROUND ... too fucking cool for school

[Hekynn]

nice gonna upgrade to a DX11 from ati this fall. :)

[deepakm]

Newegg should do some hardware review. . and hardcore PC builds.

[Realman10000]

I'd like to see an install of 3 video cards via 3 way SLI.

[fatalkill504]

And you still won't be able to run crysis :D

[fatalkill504]

Crysis simply refused to run on about 99% of PCs worldwide due to its ridiculous hardware requirements.

A typical gaming rig which would run the game at a minimum acceptable rate without stuttering or looking jerky (slow frame rates) would cost a small fortune. Years passed by and the game still refused to run well on anything but really powerful and relatively expensive gaming platforms, not helped by the games updates which enhanced the visuals even further (HDR lighting etc).

Its a meme.

[Realman10000]

Maybe so but I have an Asus P6T LGA 1366 MB with a Corei7-920 6 Gigs of Memory and a GTX-260 Graphics card and I can run Crysis

[ijp290]

@Realman10000 would you like a trophy?

[arnoldschwolenpecka]

@ijp290 lol... nothing to brag about really

[Realman10000]

Yes. A shiny Gold one please :P

[SpencerKos]

ya its the mid sized haf 922 I have the HAF 932 I like it so much. I think ill get the 922 for my other computer

[SPARTAN112CE]

@SpencerKos the 932 is better much more room

[pringlex]

@SPARTAN112CE That's exaggerating it a bit. Old dual 8800 GT's can run Crysis comfortably at the right settings.

[SPARTAN112CE]

@pringlex what are you talking about man?

[Ferrari0321]

I use a leaf blower to blow dust out of my case, works perfect... it's just air.

[xcelpast]

what pc case is that, a haf?

[punier]

HAF 922

[Warrior59]

Pretty cool your using the case I just got today. And that I ordered from Newegg.

[VeohBlows]

Thanks man, keep them coming you guys rock!

[eivindrew]

i have that case :D

[1800Allen]

good video, the basics are always important, the only thing i would say would be to not remove your memory with a screwdriver that is really dangerous

[deepakm]

this guys cool

[marquesbrownlee]

Great timing for this tutorial - I'm working on a desktop upgrade at the moment!

[neth4x]

@marquesbrownlee lol I just cleaned my pc today.....and woah it was full of dust.
