Computer Shopper: Build a Multimedia PC, Step by Step (2/5)

[GatremagWenYm]

@Xcorez Your comment was mostly true, except for the fact that most people do not get laid at or before the age of Twelve...

[MeNoGud]

Personally, I install my RAM and CPU fan before putting the motherboard in, because installing the CPU cooler inside the case is hard(specially that goddamm Intel Stock CPU cooler).

[IndyGunFreak]

@MeNoGud I totally agree... been building them for 10yrs, and have always put memory and CPU fan on outside the case.

[cograff]

and if he is a nerd, wath?

[whiskeyify]

I perfer to install the memory before installing the board into the case...why? sometimes you have to push down kinda hard, this way you won't crack or damage the board.

[BaileyShelhorse]

You know you would have saved yourself a lot fo time, just to install the cpu, cpu fan, and ram on the motherboard before putting it into the case. I alwasy put the power supply in last too.

[ConsoleGamingGuides]

@o0Deano2k80o Yeah but they still need the heatsink, just not the push/pull fans...

[FreeSoftwareHun]

jók a videók

[ConsoleGamingGuides]

@o0Deano2k80o You run your processor with nothing!? Or do you mean you use a heatsink without a push/pull fan system...

[pezkall]

TYVM for this vid tutorials

[cassand14]

how many graphics card can u put in a computer

[strey75]

@cassand14 Depending on your support and cost usally four is what people max out at. I havent seen any fit more. Need a huge case and Mother board for any more if it exists lol

[11bane11]

@cassand14 4 is the maximum amount for a home pc

[ariezmo]

isn't it easier to put everything you need on the motherboard then put it in the case afterwards & just connect the cables afterwards since leverage is better for installing components while the motherboard is out of the case?

[kurogane2x]

aren't he afraid of ESD?? :|

[IanRobot]

i got 4 sticks of 2GB :)

[TheZekinator]

would all this instalation work if i wanted 6gb of ram and intel core i7?

[maxrox156]

how do i check to see if the parts im gonna buy are compatible or not?

[xpl0i7z]

@maxrox156 when your buying your motherboard check the specs for it ie which ram, cpu socket etc. it will tell you the specifications of your parts when your looking at them. just get stuff thats compatible man

[ariezmo]

@xpl0i7z so it should say on your motherboard specs which components are compatible for it? whats the best way of differentiating components that will work/compatible with your desired motherboard or what not

[burberrybedroom]

thats the same cpu fan and heatsink as mine :)

[f11rob]

You don't have to spread the Thermal Compound?

[UndyingSimmons]

Wouldn't it be easier to asemble the whole motherboard first THEN put it in the case? Just curious.

[Espada623]

if u have a special CPU fan thats meant for gaming then yesh :)

[kingrichard9]

Yes that's true. But the only thing to install on the motherboard while inside the case is the CPU fan, since the size of it could be a pest while installing it.

[andyp363]

@UndyingSimmons

preference really that's the way i do it

the intel fans like the ones in the video can take a while if you cant get around the back

[MW2specOpsREV]

what kind of fan was that

[DavidRockin1]

alot of computers have a 3V battery on mother board why? i took mine out from an old one i attached it ro LEDS and it lit up, shouldn't the 3v be dead?? whats it for?

[TheHandsomeRogue]

It's attached the ROM/BIOS, you shouldn't remove it because it can mess up your BIOS settings.

[andyp363]

@DavidRockin1

like TheHandsomeRogue said it saves the bios

things like the time, CPU settings etc  some motherboards just wont start without it

[DavidRockin1]

NO!! i said i took it out, bc i have a dead pc!!!

[andyp363]

@DavidRockin1

YES!!! i know was just trying to be helpful and give you the info you wanted rather than cap GOOGLE at you!!!!

[18phenom]

hey thanks man, this vid was really helpful.btw can someone please tell me if having two different types of RAM (model,and frequency {800 and 400]) changes anything like performance or anything like that????

[TheWizKid411]

Even if my cpu fan is new, can I still apply the paste? or is it best not?

[andyp363]

@TheWizKid411

i have no idea about AMD but the intel stock heat sinks/fans come with thermal paste already on the heat sink so all you need to do is clamp it on

if it is an aftermarket one (or an old one) you need to put on thermal paste

never tried it without thermal paste but i imagine it would overheat and shut down

[qonz1]

i am thinking of getting a new computer and i saw this was made in 07 or so.. and it is is 09 so ya.. i know technology changes but can a hard form a different computer still be used on a every computer?? (my computer cpu is 2.0 so it is slow with somethings).. just wondereding because i want to build a really good computer under a 900 dollar buget in 6 months or so..

[qonz1]

and plus was hoping to make it a gamer computer so i can play games on the computer..

[jetstreamLt]

no not any processor can fit in any motherboard

if you put a intel quad proccesor in a amd motherboard your cpu would probaly be fried.

[andyp363]

@jetstreamLt

i dont think the processor would fit in

they are slightly different shapes and sizes and on the intel the pins are on the motherboard and the AMD's the pins are on the CPU

[MasterSighlis555]

Sorry i don't know much about this stuff but i an planning on building my own computer soon.

Can any Processor fit in any motherboard?

[jcam962]

do processors come with thermal grease or do you have 2 buy it somewhere else.

[F4k3rg0pr0]

comes with it

[bjnono001]

They usually come with retail heatsinks, but if you buy your own seperate heatsink, you will need to buy thermal grease seperately. In some cases, the CPU may not even need thermal grease, like my Core 2 Duo.

[Arvon211]

Has this guy ever been laid?

He looks like a fucking nerd

[merrett]

Not really. He's just good with computers.

[cassand14]

@Arvon211 jackass

[crashbandicoot4everr]

i want to build one is so much fun!

[lcromy]

You may want to learn how to write a proper english sentence, because in America you cannot get a "real" job without that skill. Good luck in life.

[bertucciqq]

rofl kid go back to wherever you came from you dont belong in america

[InterstellarApple]

wouldn't it be easier to install the ram before installing the motherboard into the case? just seems like common sense. if there is a reason why you install ram once motherboard is in case let me know.

[jarvis911]

man he didnt even spread the arctic silver over the cpu? i thought this was pretty important am i right?

[MullenThomas1507]

The heatsink pressure will spread it just fine, there's no need to spread it manually. Greets.

[mater389]

i have the same fan its a bigger

[jasan509]

I did not hear a click but i did hear a siren. lol

[MaxCheesy]

Do you have to buy a fan or will it come with a case? Please help. this is my first time doing this. Im 13 years old

[thegeekazoid]

whenever you buy a CPU, it usually comes with a fan. be sure to check the product specs to see if it comes with a fan or not.

[andyp363]

@MaxCheesy

i know its a little late but

look at the name (if its online)

if it is a RETAIL version it will have a heat sink/fan with it

if it is an OEM it wont

if its an actual shop you will be able too see it

[pruttrick93]

It's easier to install the heatsink and fan when the motherboard isn't installed in the case...

[DNDivinity]

Shoulda put the ram inside the mobo outside of the case aswell xD

[45snipe54]

You are very easy going and easy to listen to. Thank you for this video. Helped me alot. Best customizing guide video I have ever heard.

[xGreg936x]

MrBradley, cyber was right about the thermal paste... you should spread it evenly with a business card or some plastic so it's even.

[MrBradley10]

I am only making a statement out of experience. I've had to build dozens of computers.

[snipermonkey2]

Sorry MrBradley evenly spreading the thermal paste on the cpu will help the transfer of heat from cpu to heatsink because more of the cpu will be in contact. Also it helps ensure you have not put to much thermal paste on causing it to flow over the cpu's edge. FYI Artic Silver conducts electricity.

[pistonfan92]

do new cpu fans come with thermal grease pre applied so i dont have to buy any?

[r31ncarnat3d]

Depends.

All stock heatsinks (meaning ones that come in the box along with the CPU) have thermal paste already applied.

Aftermarket heatsinks (The high end stuff you buy separate from the CPU, should you choose to do so) come with thermal paste in the box with it, but you have to apply it yourself.

If I were you, I'd stick to the stock heatsink. There's really no need for an aftermarket heatsink for normal use.

[asweran]

Take it from me, its much easier to install the cpu fan before installing the motherboard into the case. Its not only easier, you also have alot more room.

[MackaliMesut]

Man u don't wanna know how long it took me to place the cpu fan on it it was so anoying

[Ragzz1234]

The best and most informative how-to I've seen in a while.

Thou, I was laughing at some parts at how you managed to be so rough vs the system, when you had clearly stated that one should be very careful handling it. :)

[cyberonee1]

this guy makes 2 mistakes with installing the cpu cooler.

First: Installing the cpu cooler after you installed the mainboard is not very easy. Install your cpu cooler right after you have installed your cpu, before that you install the mainboard in the case. This is because you can better see what you are doing instead when you install it as in the movie.

Secound: The cooling paste has to cover the hole cpu, or the part on the cooler that touches it. Not just a drop in the middle of the proc

[MrBradley10]

Maybe you should do some builds yourself before you make any statements like that.

I've built several machines and used the regular intel cpu heatsink/fan. It works absolutly fine, its easy to put it in with a flat-bladed screw driver.

Also he put enough thermal paste on, the paste will spread at and cover the entire cap of the processor.

[jlpogi23]

that is healpful

[FORYOUANDMEALWAYS]

DONT USE THET INTEL COOLER THEY SUCK

my q6600 is cooling above 40 C WTF

my old foxconn is cooling above 20C then Idle

[123456789sha]

i know my P4 is 80C!!!!!!!

[revorocks123]

80c!!! man that will overheat anytime soon, open up your case and clean it but be careful from static electricty...learn about it

[untitledwillmercer]

yea, i tol'y agree. get a arctic cooler freezer 7 pro. its cheap, and excellent

[CrytekTR]

Hahha Yeah nice i have one now

OC 3.01 abot 30°C

[mantiniho]

i think he putted very less of termopaste ... shouldnt he put more?

[Twitchpro]

Just spread the paste guys, it's the safest way to go. If you don't its safe, but just do it!

Putting in that video card looked a bit hard for you man, bit shaky eh ? =}

[crassvs]

You don't have to spread the paste, its enough to apply a dap in the middle - the thermal compound will spread automatically as you apply pressure to the heatsink. Just make sure that you do not lift the heatsink after you pushed it down for the first time, otherwise their will be air between the contact surfaces that will lower the effeciency of the cooling.

[fabiodovalle]

Yeah, he doesn't explain at all about spreading the thermal paste!! If you are a noobie, use these videos with other how to!!

[cyberjackcyberjack]

true lol

[Gravite2k]

About the thermal paste(arctic silver 5). I thought you have to make a very thin line in the middle of the processor not just a dap...
