@RkaydGamer Fucking hell, does no one actually read comments before repeating the same bullshit over and over again? I DIDN'T HAVE A TABLE. WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T I MAKE USE OF DRIVES I HAD THE SPACE FOR, OLD OR OTHERWISE. I HAD ONE NEW SATA DRIVE AND 3 DRIVE BAYS. OF COURSE I'M GOING TO USE WHATEVER I HAVE ONHAND FOR EXTRA STORAGE!!! AND YES, A COMPAQ CASE. I WAS ON A BUDGET. NOT BUYING A NEW CASE MEANT MORE MONEY FOR OTHER PARTS. All clear now?
yea, so what? When I was building, for the most part I've done it on a table, but I did try and see how the mobo fits while the case was on the carpet (and SATA drive in the case).
I don't see why you should cry over what anyone else does with their equipment anyhow, but if you do - at least try and make a decent statement expressing yourself better than a monkey.
Installing/Touching your components on a carpet is really smart, especially when you arent even grounding yourself on the case or anything for that matter!
@impervious05 I ground myself repeatedly on the case. In fact, I made a huge, theatrical point about it. Repeatedly. I didn't HAVE anywhere else to do it, the ex took our table.
@ObservedFIREFLY Completely wrong. 6 core was just starting when I did this, and we only just now have 8 core processors. Hyperthreading doesn't count, that's just a clever way of faking it. Plus I was on a strict budget and this was what I could afford at the time.
@Zaranyzerak i point to the amd opteron and refute your pathetic claim, the codenamed magny cours 8 core was out in march that year, and price wasnt the point of my argument, the fact you were so hyped about something from ages ago was, the six core opterons were out in june 2009 so that first point you made was the only completely wrong part of this, what exactally was your budget? i can go hex core with a graphics card and 8gb ram and a 1.5tb drive for about 500 pounds
@ObservedFIREFLY That's nice, and they were also prohibitively expensive and NO ONE was using them at the time. Ergo, they hadn't happened yet. You should watch a multi-part series from the beginning. My budget was 500 dollars, about half of what you just stated. Also, if you had watched from the beginning you would know I was hyped because I had been using single core for the past `10 years so this was a major leap forward.
@ObservedFIREFLY In short, what is your problem? Not everything need to be the latest and greatest to be worth getting excited about. It was a significant upgrade from what I had been using, so yes I was excited. I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything, so I don't NEED the top of the line. Try to get some perspective, jeez.
@ObservedFIREFLY Oh, and by the way - the opteron is SIX core, not 8. Try actually learning about a processor before shooting your mouth off about it and making assumptions based on the name. The Bulldozer architecture (AMDs 8-core chip) only JUST became ready this year.
@ObservedFIREFLY Whatever. Who cares. No one was using them. And I certainly wouldn't have been able to afford one with the budget I had for this build.
@Zaranyzerak sorry magny cores is both 8 core and 12 core, the magny cours codename applied to the opteron 12 core with 4 cores disabled, that was a mistake not stating there was an 8 core under that code name aswell ill admit, but even on wikipedia you can see the individual specs, it clearly shows: Magny-Cours 45 nm Mar 2010 Twelve-core, the seriousness of this argument has become a bit too much im sad to say
@ObservedFIREFLY Again, NOTHING of which was actually AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT ANY KIND OF REASONABLE PRICE at the time. Get over it. Great, you think it's a joke that I bought a quad core in 2010 and was excited about it. I've explained why that was so. Let's move on now.
No offence but using the stock Cooler was because this stock cooler is to be honest shit. Your other Cooling would have given you a performance increase
@Skept3k I am. And in the place where I work, we use static mats obviously.
1. I hadn't built a computer since the 90's, so no I didn't know they came with heat syncs.
2. I'm not a gamer, I have no plans to overclock the CPU, and I'd rather have a spare onhand if I need it. now when I upgrade to a faster CPU, I already have a bigger heat sync to use with it, fresh out of the box, at no additional expense.
3. When my ex left me, she took the table. No other flat surfaces to do it then.
Can you over clock with this? And I heard of there hyper threading so I'm wondering if I plug in my Graphics card but i use the mother boards built is gpu will it switch to the gtx 460 when heavy gaming comes up cause thats what it said.
@sexking83@RakeyRaker already discussed to death in previous comments. Didn't have any such surface available in my home, so carpet it was. It was fine. No problems. No static. I don't live in a dry area.
@sexking83 Yes, it's fine. I'm using it right now to type this. As for building rigs myself, I'm a computer repair technician. I do this kind of thing all the time. I just don't do it for MYSELF that often, so I don't own an anti-static mat and wriststrap. If you watch the rest of the videos, you'll see I was VERY careful about static.
@awbattelle Yes, and when I can afford it I'll replace those IDE drives with high capacity SATA ones. But better I use those for the time being and get the extra 400 gigs of storage than nothing at all.
@mackenzieeful Kinda late for that now, considering these were posted over a month ago... Sounded fine at my end, I was very careful to balance the music volume with the camera audio. It's several db's lower.
lol @ 8:21, should be careful when you pull the cpu out like that.. especially bending it sideways to take it out like you did... could bend the pins.
@dasharound Don't worry, I was more careful than it may have appeared at the angle I shot from. No way I was going to damage that CPU after the hell of being computerless...
@Zaranyzerak i stand corrected :)shouldve finished watching the video before i made a comment your very careful with static electricity even though I would still be scared to build on a rug haha.
@kingensai You're the second person who's said that...I've never played Mass Effect, and the music is one of my own compositions from over ten years ago...
@Zaranyzerak You've never played Mass Effect?! It's quite a hoot, I think you should give it a spin.
And if you do happen to go play that excellent game, I think you'll hear what both of us were talking about. The music Bioware chose to use for the game was very retro in style to try to mimic the old sci-fi movies.
Be careful though... Most of my friends who played Mass Effect were hooked on it for a REALLY long time. Me included.
@Zaranyzerak Yeah, it also reminds me of Mass Effect :) It's not like it sounds like a specific song, just the atmosphere reminds of the game. You should play it, it's amazing.
@SaM52461 And what exactly did I do wrong with the CPU installation? It works like a dream. I point out my mistakes and how to correct them along the way. It's a learning process as much as an assembly video. They can learn from MY mistakes.
@SaM52461 - It's Okay for nubies though, cause they're likely to go through the same process as Zaranyzerak did, The whole Good, Bad & The Ugly thing about building PC's.
hmm, is your case earthed? if it isnt earthen then touching it wont discharge you. Static isnt a major problem but if it does arise it makes everything bad. Touching a radiator would discharge you or touching your case when the power supply is in and plugged in (as long as its earthed) would discharge you.
@Zaranyzerak the floor isnt earthed as it isnt conductive, touching a radiator is usually the best way. If your really worried though you can get a band which you can attach to your pc case and it will take all the static off it and place it into the band for around $5
This was a very interesting watch, I plan to do IT in uni and stuff like this seems really up my street. Just out of interest how long have you been building your own computers and where exactly did you learn how to be able to. Seems like it could be a fun little project for me when I get the time/money
@AK231199 I started tinkering with the innards of computers in the late 80's during my Amiga days. I learned a LOT back then, and have since just applied that basic knowledge to PC hardware. This is the first full system I've built, but I've been upgrading/fixing my own computers basically since the late 80's. I didn't like the idea of having to send my computer AWAY and have to PAY someone else to install something then WAIT for it, so I learned to do it myself to save time and money! :D
@rocko316gtr What would you rather I do, just SCRAP those 2 200 gig drives and the 400 gigs of extra storage space they provide? I'll go all SATA eventually. For now, the focus was getting a functioning computer again. And I can use all the extra storage space I can get, so it would have been stupid not to use them for something.
@Zaranyzerak to be fair a 1 tb drive costs about $50 on ebay and the performace of sata or even sata3 is a world better the word outdated vs cost shouldnt really matter and i know your board wouldnt support sata 3 but for an extra little money you would have quiet a good system esepically with the phenom 2 x4 i have on running to 4.0 ghz on air alone! no point upgrading the cpu and havin outdated storage
@rocko316gtr Of course but the problem was I was working with a VERY limited budget. I could afford ONE hard drive and the rest has to to go system parts. So I got the 1.5TB SATA drive for about 60 bucks, and the rest went to everything else. At this stage, I wouldn't buy anything lower than 1.5TB. I want to make the most of my drive bays when I upgrade 'em. Then the old IDE drives will be turned into External storage drive. For now, they're internal.
Remember when Microsoft wonted to charge people for each core in there PC?
Well, AMD could have send the CPU with a professional technician in a candy striped uniform to install the CPU for you... but I think that's asking a bit much.
@masticina Hehehe...I'm hearing a lot of kudos for Arctic Silver! Next upgrade will likely be another high capacity SATA drive, and relegating one of the IDE's to External USB drive status via a casing.
You should get rid of the stock AMD cooler it's crap, doesn't dissipate heat well and loud. Use the one you bought with some Arctic Silver thermalpaste.
@RemnantsOfBeauty Meh, I checked the temp (the BIOS lets me check up on stuff like that), and it seemed to be keeping things plenty cool enough for now. Haven't had any performance issues, and I've been putting this thing through the paces that past week! At least I've got the other cooler if I want to go more hardcore later. The stock unit seems to be fine for this CPU, though if I get something faster later on I'll likely switch to the other one.
The amd reference heatsinks are pretty rubbish you should have used the coolermaster it will cool much better and it will most likely be a lot quieter and it wont clog with dust as easy as the amd will
@RemnantsOfBeauty If I did that, I would have had to sacrifice one of the other components. Remember, I was working with a VERY limited budget here. A new case wasn't a priority, this one is adequate for now. Plus I checked how the cooling was doing (there's a feature in the BIOS to check that) and everything seems to fine staying cool enough for now.
@evansawatsky20 Hehehe...it's actually pretty simple once you know what plugs into what. Just make sure to pay attention to what you're plugging everything into!
I know you discharged a lot there, but you're STILL not really supposed to do ANY computer tinkering on carpet. That and wearing socks doesn't do any good to your system. But thankfully it was fine, I always do my tinkering on a table or in the least on an old newspaper.
@iamnottomgreen Yeah yeah yeah, the air isn't dry enough here for static to be that big of a concern anyway. Been doing this stuff on carpets for years, have yet to zap a single component. Besides, none of my tables have any room on them and I read the news on the Internet. :P
Another thing about static electricity, best not to place any components on the carpet as it can have a charge depending on the material. Also not sure if this is true, but I was told many moons ago not to place components on the outside of the antistiatic bag components come in because they're designed to hold the charge on the outside.
The thing I found most interesting is that your old computer was very similar to the one I replaced almost 5 years ago with a dual-core machine.
If you're wanting good bang-for-the-buck graphical power I'd have to recommend the Nvidia GTS 250 1GB model, as not only does it support physx, but also the CUDA video encoding on the card and it can be found for a very reasonable price. It also includes VGA-DVI-HDMI outputs, and only.requires a 450W PSU with 24A on the +12V and one 6-pin plug.
@Stinger2578 Hehehe...,.so about the time you were replacing that computer, I was just GETTING mine. :D Sounds like a pretty slick graphics card! I'm not in a big rush to get one right now, I don't do a lot of gaming on the PC - and when I do, it's older stuff anyway. Next on the upgrade list will be more high capacity SATA hard drives for all the videos I'm planning to do in the next couple of years.
@Zaranyzerak Well, one of the best things about computers is the price/performance over time ratio. What works great now will end up outdated later, but something better is always there to take its place and perhaps will be an even better price.
@bluto1992 There are some features of it that I'm really liking, plus the overall speed vs XP. Still finding my way around, though, and getting frustrated. My first thought, "Where the hell did they HIDE everything???" It'll take a while to get used to, but I'm adaptable. The positive seems to be outweighing the negative. Now if more of my fave programs had 64-bit Windows 7 compatible versions I'd be very happy indeed...
@Kytseo Not sure I'd want to take the chance of blowing up yet another PC so soon...though this motherboard actually makes overclocking super simple - you can set it right form the BIOS when you boot up!
@TheSecondEvolution Lol! Yeah, kind of a foregone conclusion that despite whatever issues you may see over the course of the videos, it all worked out in the end, eh? ;)
gotta love the ZIF for the processors (zero insertion force) when it comes to thermal paste i always use arctic silver, i know its expensive lol, like 15$ for a total of 5 grams of it lol. but its worth it for more effective cooling on these high power hot running AMDs. also is there a chat Friday? lol sorry for the spammage there :P
@smeckaldorf Yeah, I was really surprised (and delighted) by how easy it was to install the CPU. I've heard you mention Arctic Silver on a number of occasions. If I ever have nee of more hardcore cooling, I'll look into it for sure. And yes, barring unforseen cirsumcisions...erm...circumSTANCES, there will be a chat tomorrow. Had a test run on Stickam last night. Get this - Running Stickam in 16x9, CPU barely ticked over, averaging between 10-15% usage the whole time. =O
What are your thoughts about powering it on all from outside the case to check to see it it boots up? I have always installed everything in the case first before i boot
@BuckeyeSparky Probably not a bad idea, that way if there's a problem with any of the main hardware it would be easier to isolate. But I like to live on the edge. Get the whole works put together before flipping the switch for the first time. :)
@hemanshera777 I've been tinkering with computers since the early 90's. The technology is more advanced, but the basic principles of putting one together are still the same.
@Zaranyzerak And the scary thing is I was considering getting that motherboard too. Now I'm going with a Gigabyte motherboard instead with more features for less xD
if you didnt do one on the day you booted it then maybe its too late but i would love to see a impressions on the PC and how much better it is in comparision to ya old one , nothing to deep but just a general overview would be awesome.
i know in a previous video comment i was saying Fuck Pcs and Macs from now on but i just went to a build ya own PC Store website after this Video lol
Im not tempted right now but it was fun even if it was a Mega Expensive price i clocked up at the end
@sharpie6shot There's two songs that kinda blend into each other - "New Beginnings" and "Timeout." Both are track from my album, "Empire Building." Glad ya like 'em! :)

@kingensai You're the second person who's said that...I've never played Mass Effect, and the music is one of my own compositions from over ten years ago...
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
@Zaranyzerak You've never played Mass Effect?! It's quite a hoot, I think you should give it a spin.
And if you do happen to go play that excellent game, I think you'll hear what both of us were talking about. The music Bioware chose to use for the game was very retro in style to try to mimic the old sci-fi movies.
Be careful though... Most of my friends who played Mass Effect were hooked on it for a REALLY long time. Me included.
kingensai 1 year ago
@Zaranyzerak Yeah, it also reminds me of Mass Effect :) It's not like it sounds like a specific song, just the atmosphere reminds of the game. You should play it, it's amazing.

@SaM52461 And what exactly did I do wrong with the CPU installation? It works like a dream. I point out my mistakes and how to correct them along the way. It's a learning process as much as an assembly video. They can learn from MY mistakes.

@SaM52461 - It's Okay for nubies though, cause they're likely to go through the same process as Zaranyzerak did, The whole Good, Bad & The Ugly thing about building PC's.

hmm, is your case earthed? if it isnt earthen then touching it wont discharge you. Static isnt a major problem but if it does arise it makes everything bad. Touching a radiator would discharge you or touching your case when the power supply is in and plugged in (as long as its earthed) would discharge you.
hord 1 year ago
@hord It's on the floor. How closer to the earth can it get? I've never had an issue with static when doing this kind of thing.
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
@Zaranyzerak the floor isnt earthed as it isnt conductive, touching a radiator is usually the best way. If your really worried though you can get a band which you can attach to your pc case and it will take all the static off it and place it into the band for around $5

That little lever is a CPU zero insertion force mount, if U force it, U broke it.
Noooooooo, Don't use the original CPU fan, smaller means more heat, trust me.
That void a warranty is crap, they just don't wan't U to put a really cheap fan on it.
Thermal paste is better then pre-applied thermal sticker, Well if U ever have to replace your CPU or fan just keep this in mind. FYI

This was a very interesting watch, I plan to do IT in uni and stuff like this seems really up my street. Just out of interest how long have you been building your own computers and where exactly did you learn how to be able to. Seems like it could be a fun little project for me when I get the time/money
AK231199 1 year ago
@AK231199 I started tinkering with the innards of computers in the late 80's during my Amiga days. I learned a LOT back then, and have since just applied that basic knowledge to PC hardware. This is the first full system I've built, but I've been upgrading/fixing my own computers basically since the late 80's. I didn't like the idea of having to send my computer AWAY and have to PAY someone else to install something then WAIT for it, so I learned to do it myself to save time and money! :D

rocko316gtr 1 year ago
@rocko316gtr What would you rather I do, just SCRAP those 2 200 gig drives and the 400 gigs of extra storage space they provide? I'll go all SATA eventually. For now, the focus was getting a functioning computer again. And I can use all the extra storage space I can get, so it would have been stupid not to use them for something.
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
@Zaranyzerak to be fair a 1 tb drive costs about $50 on ebay and the performace of sata or even sata3 is a world better the word outdated vs cost shouldnt really matter and i know your board wouldnt support sata 3 but for an extra little money you would have quiet a good system esepically with the phenom 2 x4 i have on running to 4.0 ghz on air alone! no point upgrading the cpu and havin outdated storage
rocko316gtr 1 year ago
@rocko316gtr Of course but the problem was I was working with a VERY limited budget. I could afford ONE hard drive and the rest has to to go system parts. So I got the 1.5TB SATA drive for about 60 bucks, and the rest went to everything else. At this stage, I wouldn't buy anything lower than 1.5TB. I want to make the most of my drive bays when I upgrade 'em. Then the old IDE drives will be turned into External storage drive. For now, they're internal.
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
Remember when Microsoft wonted to charge people for each core in there PC?
Well, AMD could have send the CPU with a professional technician in a candy striped uniform to install the CPU for you... but I think that's asking a bit much.

@masticina Hehehe...I'm hearing a lot of kudos for Arctic Silver! Next upgrade will likely be another high capacity SATA drive, and relegating one of the IDE's to External USB drive status via a casing.

You should get rid of the stock AMD cooler it's crap, doesn't dissipate heat well and loud. Use the one you bought with some Arctic Silver thermalpaste.
RemnantsOfBeauty 1 year ago
@RemnantsOfBeauty Meh, I checked the temp (the BIOS lets me check up on stuff like that), and it seemed to be keeping things plenty cool enough for now. Haven't had any performance issues, and I've been putting this thing through the paces that past week! At least I've got the other cooler if I want to go more hardcore later. The stock unit seems to be fine for this CPU, though if I get something faster later on I'll likely switch to the other one.
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
The amd reference heatsinks are pretty rubbish you should have used the coolermaster it will cool much better and it will most likely be a lot quieter and it wont clog with dust as easy as the amd will
solidsnake1678 1 year ago 2
You really should have bought a new case with better cooling.
RemnantsOfBeauty 1 year ago
@RemnantsOfBeauty If I did that, I would have had to sacrifice one of the other components. Remember, I was working with a VERY limited budget here. A new case wasn't a priority, this one is adequate for now. Plus I checked how the cooling was doing (there's a feature in the BIOS to check that) and everything seems to fine staying cool enough for now.

I know you discharged a lot there, but you're STILL not really supposed to do ANY computer tinkering on carpet. That and wearing socks doesn't do any good to your system. But thankfully it was fine, I always do my tinkering on a table or in the least on an old newspaper.
iamnottomgreen 1 year ago
@iamnottomgreen Yeah yeah yeah, the air isn't dry enough here for static to be that big of a concern anyway. Been doing this stuff on carpets for years, have yet to zap a single component. Besides, none of my tables have any room on them and I read the news on the Internet. :P
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
Another thing about static electricity, best not to place any components on the carpet as it can have a charge depending on the material. Also not sure if this is true, but I was told many moons ago not to place components on the outside of the antistiatic bag components come in because they're designed to hold the charge on the outside.

The thing I found most interesting is that your old computer was very similar to the one I replaced almost 5 years ago with a dual-core machine.
If you're wanting good bang-for-the-buck graphical power I'd have to recommend the Nvidia GTS 250 1GB model, as not only does it support physx, but also the CUDA video encoding on the card and it can be found for a very reasonable price. It also includes VGA-DVI-HDMI outputs, and only.requires a 450W PSU with 24A on the +12V and one 6-pin plug.
Stinger2578 1 year ago
@Stinger2578 Hehehe...,.so about the time you were replacing that computer, I was just GETTING mine. :D Sounds like a pretty slick graphics card! I'm not in a big rush to get one right now, I don't do a lot of gaming on the PC - and when I do, it's older stuff anyway. Next on the upgrade list will be more high capacity SATA hard drives for all the videos I'm planning to do in the next couple of years.
Zaranyzerak 1 year ago
@Zaranyzerak Well, one of the best things about computers is the price/performance over time ratio. What works great now will end up outdated later, but something better is always there to take its place and perhaps will be an even better price.

@bluto1992 There are some features of it that I'm really liking, plus the overall speed vs XP. Still finding my way around, though, and getting frustrated. My first thought, "Where the hell did they HIDE everything???" It'll take a while to get used to, but I'm adaptable. The positive seems to be outweighing the negative. Now if more of my fave programs had 64-bit Windows 7 compatible versions I'd be very happy indeed...

gotta love the ZIF for the processors (zero insertion force) when it comes to thermal paste i always use arctic silver, i know its expensive lol, like 15$ for a total of 5 grams of it lol. but its worth it for more effective cooling on these high power hot running AMDs. also is there a chat Friday? lol sorry for the spammage there :P
smeckaldorf 1 year ago
@smeckaldorf Yeah, I was really surprised (and delighted) by how easy it was to install the CPU. I've heard you mention Arctic Silver on a number of occasions. If I ever have nee of more hardcore cooling, I'll look into it for sure. And yes, barring unforseen cirsumcisions...erm...circumSTANCES, there will be a chat tomorrow. Had a test run on Stickam last night. Get this - Running Stickam in 16x9, CPU barely ticked over, averaging between 10-15% usage the whole time. =O
