How to build your own multimedia PC computer cheap -Part 2/5

[larryvegas2009]

Boo

[kidcoolfresh]

i know a really good 2 4GB sticks for only $99.... 2 1GB sticks for $89 is just too much

[BBQTeach]

@kidcoolfresh

I know I found 8GB online for $50, from a lot of respected brands to.

[kidcoolfresh]

@BBQTeach Oh that's even better than what I found!

[Theyallfloatdownhere]

This fails at vista.

[noobatnothing]

i cant believe that your not grounding the case or anything like that in general

next time can you please use at least latex gloves....

[ARDINM004]

quick question when you applied the termal stuff to the cpu, did you smudge it around on the top or do you just let the fan do that when its pushed on top

[pkhamidar2com]

@ARDINM004 your supposed to spread it out, this guy did lazily, its better to spread it around, but make sure tehres like 2 mm space from the edge, just smudge it around the middle, not right to the VERY edge.

[shartne]

Never buy corsair ram its a complete rip off and I should know i have bought it before and talked to techs I suggest Muskin or GSkill may be adata if thats all you can afford.

[MaestroBLC]

@computersuk1 not really, im just saying, at that time, i built a kickass system for about $600, and way better than this.

[BBQTeach]

@MaestroBLC

Doing the same, what CPU did you choose?

Oh and I found a new HDMI 22" off Amazon and a GPU yet kept the price under $900

[superbran2008]

wow how $1000 for this set up but naw we are 3 years on the computer is really out dated to modern standerds i have thrown better in the bin this year but thats how twchnolojy advances

[BloodLegaZ]

could it be reccomended to install the fan and cpu and ect when motherboard is still outside of the case?

[XAnimeR0ck5X]

wow , these videos are great ... im a noob , and i have never built a computer before ... so these vids help ..... but if there is anyone else who could give afvice on parts ... that would be great ^.^ .... thx

[MaestroBLC]

Even then, this would suck for multimedia editing. I could build a better one for $750

[BloodLegaZ]

@MaestroBLC you do know this vid is from 2007 right?

[MaestroBLC]

@BloodLegaZ Ya, i know. But this build just sucks.

[TheVidzor]

newegg is US only, unfair :(

[mustafaishere]

how would u know what ram u need?

[BloodLegaZ]

@mustafaishere depends on what you are running and what you plan on doing with the computer, if you have windows seven and plan to do any kind of gameing i would get at least 3gigs of memory at the least.

[codybuRrnocomm]

no cpu heatsink/fan will equal overheating and frying out.

it is 100% necessary, who woulnt put that on?

[nexorian]

u didn't teach the newbie how to plug in the fan's power

[cjgan80]

Okay... i wanna ask if u need a gaming pc , do you need high capacity graphic card over like 512mB ?

[schwartz2112]

@cjgan80 depends, what video card were you looking at?

[n11lc]

u need 2gb

[CaseRed0605]

512MB would likely work, but be the minimum requirement for most modern games. Meaning game would be playable but likely lag at spots. I would recommend getting either a 1 GB or 2 GB graphic card depending on your budget.

[iep4b]

if ur planing not to upgrade several years then its a good idea, but dont forget that speed often beats capacity , so if u buy a 512 medium speed card u wasted ur money

[mangie222]

@cjgan80

i recommend

HD 5970 (best atm 500-700$)

HD5870 (second best 300%)

HD 5870 (third at 200$)

if u cant pay for any of those get a new fucking hobby because a gaming pc runs from 1500-6000

[r31ncarnat3d]

You're an idiot. Gaming PCs don't need to cost anywhere close to $1500. I still run an e8500 with a GTX 260 216SP, and it can still play every game available with no hardware-induced lag, and it costs nowhere close to $1500.

Get off your high horse.

[zahidsharif2001]

He install the corsair rams i have a corsair 4.0GB flash Drive.With a very good Data transmission.

[Aristowi]

One question, what happens if you put the processor fan without applying the thermal paste on the processor? Is it really necessary or is it just recommendable?

Thanks to everyone.

[hoshibo]

The thermal paste will fill all the small voids between the heatsink and the processor. Your heatsink will not fully absorb the heat without thermal paste. I'd say that thermal paste is necessary.

[malibooroo]

It is 100% necessary!

[meotoko77]

Its much better to install the heatsink fan before you install the motherboard into the case.

[TechDeskInc]

The thing I would be most worried about is connecting up all the wires properly!

[golomasterg]

lol the fan looks like the mars lander!

[TigerSlashX]

you mean for cheap DUMB FUCK.

THIS VIDEO IS PUBES

FUCKING PUBES

[ellonysman]

Must be a book or something that can give more pre build warnings about touching stuff, or heat or screw ups so a person doesnt burn himself on a doityourself job? Rj

[reggeaton3]

thats like a mid super cheap computer now, but back then it was the shit.

[r31ncarnat3d]

Same, and I've done a fair number of builds myself too.

I feel much safer putting the RAM and heatsink in outside of the case, because I have the whole back of the motherboard pressing down on the table, versus the motherboard pressing down on just a few high pressure points that the standoffs create.

[thetruejay20]

I would have put the ram and CPU fan on outside the case that's just me!!

[ramanglass544]

same

[holdream]

why? pls tell me

[thetruejay20]

Because it just makes things easier!!

[thetruejay20]

not blue bays blue dimms lol

[nuzidude]

favored

[guitargamery]

i turned off directly from ups and i thought that as burned already,i spoke with a friend and he told me that i should reset the bios cause could be overclocking and i did it,but i sad to my self by the way i will go to the pc shop to buy this past.i put in the processor like this video and when i turned on the pc i realized the temperature was 31-35degrees i was so happy, and now i realized was not from the bios(the problem) but was because had no grey past(came of when i toke it the first time

[guitargamery]

my god about this past i had one of the worst moments of my life cause this: i have a quadrocore of intel 3,3ghz graphyc card of gforce 1gb 4gb ram and well i took all the components off to clean the machine and of corse the cpu fan, when i atatched every part again i didnt put this grey past and when i turned on the pc the system restarted and when was in the desktop screen came a msg of alsuite(i have a motherboard p5kc) that my cpu was overheating(78-80degrees) my God i turned off directly

[lighteelco]

2 sticks 2 gb ram is now available for under 50 dollars. I think.

At least under 40 euros.

[WheelchairAccessible]

Yes, For all the PC's I build I buy Gskill 1000MHz Ram, Two 2GB sticks for 49$ Canadian :)

[Acesixtheone]

lol your cpu would fire up

[yoto5951]

why must put paste on the cpu?

and what happen if i dont make that?

pls answer

[StrongerThenYOU1923]

the paste is necessery as heat conductor,if u don t use it the cpu will simple melt down or something like that(bad fuck s up the cpu)

[0611930024838]

so heat is transferred between the cpu and the heatsink fan.... hopefully better cooling....

[matic3060]

Wow, I use a good bit less paste than that, even. Also find it easier to install HSF before putting mobo in the case.

[xxoJAMESoxx]

He took the RAM out to get the fan in place, nothing significant.

[HawkFest]

Is that really the best way to apply an effective thermal paste coating?

[vietxricer]

um..shud u suppose to spread the paste around the cpu?

[aroogooy123]

wtf. 3:45.

the RAM is gone!

[guigui1533]

wow lol

[flightprodeathbringe]

haha lol

[yoto5951]

lol

[jarekkk86]

And that's the way to put the thermal grease on the processor! Not too much like some noobs in other videos ;)

[gtiasd]

lol you telling this guy tried running a pc without a cpu heatsink?... ROFLMFAO!

[arranmc182]

lol i can build a linux multimedia pc for less than £300 and a good windows one for about £500 other than that grate video 5 stars

[enzo1st]

you should have installed the cpu and the cpu cooler before you placed the motherboard in the case :)

just my oppinion...

[metalchriswpg]

Aren't you supposed to "spread" the grease on the processer?

[pandaSmore]

The grease was already on the bottom of the heat sync.

[Shadow2271]

i saw a memory card 2 gig each 0.0 imagine 4 if that

[aroogooy123]

does the thermal glue thing come with the fan and the processor?

[MTRadio]

uhh with the thermal u should spread it around with a plastic beg over your finger

[flightprodeathbringe]

lol he says 256 mb graphics card but on the box it says 512mb LOL

[30129]

lol at 3:13 "Oh, shi...."

[RandomipodVids1]

@30129 hes actually saying "which is"

[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

i see on ur mobo there already video displayer heatsink thing... Thing on the motherboard. I use that and it fiune, i can watch movies and everything!! It is fast enough, y by nother video carder?

[r31ncarnat3d]

Onboard graphics suck. Buy another graphics card for 5x the power for $20.

[30129]

On board video actually isn't all that bad, just make sure to have plenty of physical memory, the more physical memory you allow the on board video, the better it performs. For average computer use (including movie playback) and even light gaming, this works great.

Anything more would require a dedicated graphics card, especially gaming.

[30129]

Some types of on board video are better than others.

[r31ncarnat3d]

That would depend on the purpose of the computer. For a basic entry level computer, onboard graphics is more than enough.

For the purpose of this computer though, a multimedia computer, I'd think a graphics card is a must.

[Lazaron]

You guys are hilarious... This vid was made half a year ago. OF COURSE it's cheaper to buy these parts now. God.

[vorkev1]

wow you payed that much for $40 of ram. And that is not a god way to install the cpu you should have took a varey light grade of sand paper to the heatsink and spread the pasy on the cpu. nvidiea is the top graphics card even amd will tell you that and thay own ati.

[will79601]

i got 2 gb corsair for 47.00 from directron

[Hellow54321]

Stop spamming these vids and go the fuck away.

[Stagg369]

uhmm, Why do are you so negative, i mean people can actualy use this information and can't use people making these kind's of comments so CHILL DUDE!!!!!

[stickgore]

Would a PC like this be good enought to run crysis, WoW, and like CSS with no lag?

[reconman]

Hell no, at least for Crysis. I'm not sure what the requirements for wow are because I've never played it but it would be more than enough for CSS. I would wait until February or so to build a computer to run a game like Crysis. Nvidia is supposed to come out with the Geforce 9 by then and should be able to run crysis with out any lag (depending on the rest of your system.)

[JAPANisGR8]

No you need more memory and a better graphics and audio card.

[stickgore]

Audio helps gameplay? or just the audio?

[hotdog2025]

Some audio cards take the load of processing sound off the cpu, which frees up the cpu to worry about other things, resulting in a better frame rate.

[r31ncarnat3d]

of course it can run crysis! if youre talking about making crysis playable, however, youre out of luck

[Warfare12]

Yea... If you are following this guide to build a computer and buy the same parts dont buy the Ati Radeon x1650

[will79601]

am i the only one that noticed that across the bottom it said 256mb but on the box they showed it said 512mb?

[DJtestor]

There is thermal grease and thermal paste both are totaly different. Grease will remain quite damp, where as paste will harden over time.

[SeriousIlya]

I rmember installing a graphics card on my computer.

This was still helpfull in other parts, thanks :)

[Achilles2144]

w8 w8 you need 2 gigs for vista i thought it was 512 with 1 gig for "optimal efficiency"

[QuickSpark]

Realisticly, 4gb is absolute minimum, vsta uses alot of memory, 1.5 gigs is foolish.

[Achilles2144]

4gbs, I just installed vista and it works fine on 1.5 gb. I am getting an upgrade to 2gbs mainly for games soon though.

[QuickSpark]

Don't forget if oyu are using 32bit vista, then you can't go over 3gigs of ram.

[Achilles2144]

yeah 32 is the way to go for now because 64bit has a lot of problems, mainly in the area of games.

[QuickSpark]

It's a tought decision tbh, If your building a brand new computer then you may want 64 bit, cos lets face it, in 2 years 64 bit will be standard. There isn't even that much of an advantage on 64 bit too...

[jamie29790]

My laptop runs vista home on 1gb, no problems. You shouldn't make comments on things you don't have a clue about.

Also my friend runs vista on 512mb of ram and he says hes never had any problems - runs smoothly.

[QuickSpark]

I have 4 gigs ram comp with vista and a 1 gig ram comp with vista, the difference is astounding. Also, you don't get ram just for the os tard, my programs and games take up loads of space, so for me, 4 gig is minimum.

[fenril007]

vista is a piece of shit, xp its way better

[xrunner87]

hasn't this dude heard of ESD?

[BigKab1]

hhmm, he didn't spread the thermal paste.

[iJuleguy]

It should spread when the heatsink is put on.

[unbeatable787]

but is it better to spread the thermal paste tho?

[Mafakker345]

Does it spreed by itself? Does it become dry before you put on the heat sinker?
