Computer Build Part Two: Motherboard, Ram and CPU

[khan2x2009]

its okay without anti-static foam?

[haxernova]

You got grease on the procsser

[marioman218]

dumb question but does the motherboard come with the necessary screws usually?

[J4R16B94]

@marioman218 The case comes with all the screws you need. The only "extra" thing you need is a screwdriver to build a computer. Zip ties too if you want to tie down cables

[marioman218]

@J4R16B94 thanks its my first time building a computer

[JiruTiyya1]

Hey Mr. Michael Sherlock, what program did you use to get that cool effect at the end?

[aelaran123]

forgot the paste for the cpu...

[tommy8598]

@aelaran123 the stock CPU cooler doesnt have to paste thermal compound. U can see the gray part when he turn the cooler upside-down. It's in 1:59. The gray stuff is the thermal compound in its solid state.

[Roochfan20]

I don't mean to be nit-picking but touching the top of the CPU might not be a good idea. Touching the top might result in minute difference in CPU performance.

[andrewisflyyy]

@mclmatty why go and waste money for thermal compound well 10$ on artic silver 5 to put it on a stock STOCK CPU cooler. thats just stupid it wont make a dramatic decrese in temps on the cpu maybe 2 degres soo its a waste and pointless. so you can stop trying to one up me on it because you can bench mark it all you want it wont do much for you okay? if i get the money for my new cpu ill gladly benchmark it for you.

[superSupersaurabh]

lol u have i7

[danstechhelp]

Thermal paste is preinstalled on stock heatsinks

[AimingAtYou]

@necrocoprophilia hmmm yeah maybe you're right.

[AimingAtYou]

@necrocoprophilia That's just what Iv'e heard from a number of people on youtube (Linustechtips for example) but sure it could be incorrect information. I how ever wont be taking any risks later this month when I'm building my pc.

[AimingAtYou]

@necrocoprophilia It's only antistatic on the inside. the outside is a risk zone...dipshit.

[jayrayatt]

Nice bid man... But did u actually just put ur MB on the antistatic bag it came in..... Rookie mistake hope u dust fuck up ur chipsets ^^

[foxmaurius]

Didn't he forget the thermal paste?

[iisStillAlive]

@foxmaurius thermal paste is already applied to the cooler. It comes with it pre-installed now.

[kvi986]

I see that you have the motherboard on a plastic, why? is it really possible to get statics from a motherboard? still when it are'nt connected with a socket?

[XxmabezxX]

@kvi986 its ats anti-static plastic its fine

[kvi986]

I see that you got the motherboard on a plastic? why? is it possible to get statics from the motherboard? still when it arent connected to a socket?

[Sonerdy123]

i fucked up my extreme socket 370 motherboard because of you

[iisStillAlive]

@Sonerdy123 No, you're the one who fucked it up. He did everything fine, you were the one who did a mistake

[cornflaks705]

i hope no one follows this guy

[iisStillAlive]

@cornflaks705 Why? He's doing it correctly.

[MYDRAGGIN84]

thanks for this one

[SuperKabii]

I got out my iPod at 1:27. XD

[skatepyro]

What made you choose an MSI motherboard?

[baddagger159]

u forgot the thermal paste :D

[avnish958]

if its your first time how do you know how to build it and you forgot the thermal paste

[renax54]

u forget to put the termal paste sucker

[andrewisflyyy]

@renax54 the stock coolers come with thermal pase already on them SUCKA!

[renax54]

@andrewisflyyy  eat this oIo

[andrewisflyyy]

@renax54 Lol

[mclmatty]

@andrewisflyyy but the paste is very good quality, you should pay the extra $5 of amazon for artic silver

[andrewisflyyy]

@mclmatty answer this for me why would you EVER use the stock cpu cooler and put high end artic silver 5 on it? exactly my point proven.

[mclmatty]

@andrewisflyyy artic silver is cheap and better than the shit they put on the stock cooler

[luis77787]

@renax54 thermal come pre installed on the stock fan, was i supposed to put more thermal?

[Gerome63120m3]

@renax54 his heatsink already had thermal compound dude xD

[DeVoN420zz]

who are you and why are you making videos

[LKJPDUR]

I never seen motherboards use that type of screw.

[ryan8474]

hey i think that some i7 processor fans have a phase change media so you dont need thermal paste.

[iisStillAlive]

@ryan8474 you always need thermal paste

[vgamedude12]

Anti static plz.

[Danny123470]

"So theres no way you can incorrectly install RAM..."

Then he moves on and puts the 2nd stick in wrong...

[papiecho18]

u should have shown putting in the i/o sheild

[lammatt]

he doesn't need the thermal compound??

[keepitFrosted]

@lammatt it wont cool properly without it.

[bvestationfan]

@lammatt for the last time. Intel has a thermal compound on the stock cooler already. it spreads from pressure applied to the fan

[tomek123kotek]

you put the motherboard in first before anythign else together with that back motherboard socket cover thing... so you dont damage stuff during the screwing on of the motherboard

[KirbyPwnz13]

no thermal paste? ok your comp is dead. -_-

[Jase3211]

@KirbyPwnz13 Stock heat-sinks come with pre-applied thermal pads.

[KirbyPwnz13]

@Jase3211 oh ok... funny how he didn't mention any of it though.

[themanhunt1234]

My God, he's not even using anti-static 0.0

[DeepInTheForrest]

This guy obviously hasn't built a computer before.

[pimpmyshoppingcart]

@DeepInTheForrest he said that in his first vid lol

[crazygreg77]

WARNING!!!! if your watching this to learn DO NOT do what he did PUT ON THERMO GREASE it's 10 to 15 bucks his cpu is fried by now for not putting on grease

[Alph4Pr0t0c0l]

@crazygreg77 he still had the thermal grease that came on the cooler. Pause at 1:58 and you'll see the three stripes. Granted Arctic Silver is a better option over stock.

[Dragoby]

with the CPU cooler don't you have to put thermal paste onto it? or is that not necessary for the cooler that comes with the CPU?

[madassgamer08]

why would you mae a tutorial on something that it is your first time doing it like a kid going out to a car and giving a tut on how to drive to the shops its stupid not to troll like but there were a lot of mistakes and things missing just saying lyk

[bvestationfan]

u said u might overclock to 3Ghz, but u r usin a stock cooler... U CANT OVERCLOCK SHIT WITH STOCK COOLERS

[Freedomness19]

.... No thermal paste? okay have fun with your CPU overheating

[bvestationfan]

@Freedomness19 its on the stock coolers already

[Freedomness19]

@bvestationfan Oh, rly? thats new

[tallandme13]

intel stock fans scare me, always feels like the mother board is going to snap

[GODZILLAMANASS]

Hey dumbass, wheres your thermal compound?

[charman81]

thanks, that helps me

[bvestationfan]

u should have chose a better CPU IMO, maybe a Core i7 950 or for heavy performance, a Core i7 970 or Core i7 980X

[shadowYshadow]

First Don't touch the bottom of the CPU, then after you get it on wipe off the top so no oil from your fingers is left on it.

After that stock fan has thermal but you need to twist it some so it will spread or its a waste all the thermal is hard on the outside so it will not connect effectively.

For the love of all things don't use a magnetic screw driver and use a static pad.

[Coolboya24]

A dickwad you used the wrong screws for the motherboard those are for the hard drives with the rubber dampeners, u should of just bought a computer from dell or some shit because clearly u dont know shit .

[chimairaxpsycho]

never use a stock cooler that come with the processor, and always put thermal grease on the processor!

[spinalfusezz]

Thermal compound?

[Tbrockmeyer]

@spinalfusezz  .. yeah wtf

[rabbitspliff]

i've seen loads of people comment on loads of videos about thermal paste...... i guess it's important then. thanks for the tip off lol.

[masik7290]

people dont use magnetic screwdrivers like he did

also he didnt show it but you need to apply thermal grease on top of the cpu

[Sambrero44]

you stroke any thermal paste on the processor!

[MrBananaification]

U FORGOT COOLING PASTE!

[Georgefromaccounting]

@MrBananaification he used the stock fan. the stock fan has thermal paste on it.

[glennpallesen]

U should have told about, Thermal compound. I Guess That u just used the default Compound on the fan. But U really want to get an after-marked compound. Especially if u want to overclock, as u said u would.

[leatwix]

Nice video, but the moment I started watching, I thought... "Skippy!" from Family Ties! Made it all the more fun to watch. :)

[GoerdingscapePK]

Wtf happend to the thermal paste GF Processor.

[xzystence]

@GoerdingscapePK HAHAHAHA I was thinking the SAME thing man, god damn you crack me up!

[SyntoxStudios]

I readed many of the comments down bellow, and many are complaining.

Srs, its he's first build

[coryrbk]

don't ever use a magetic screw driver near the sircuits for furtres referrence? have you ever put a magnet near a TV?

[101Blasphemy101]

@coryrbk Most people know it generates current, but fyi if you put it near an lcd moniter, or lcd tv it won't do a thing :P so bad example.

[coryrbk]

@101Blasphemy101 shit i forgot about that.... xD so opps sorry, for the trolling for n reason :D forgot it's only wwith them old ones that it makes tem go all pink and shit :D

[Strafespar]

Thermal paste is not needed because it is already on the Intel i7 heat sink. Just to clear that up for all the comments regarding thermal paste.

[kjetil123221]

no thermal grease?

[t2491tom]

@kjetil123221 on the newer cpus the manufactures puts it on for you already

[TheofanisIII]

what about thrmal conductance paste thing when installing the cpu???

[Anton338]

lol true you gotta ground yourself... and NEVER touch the cpu with anything other than an alcohol swab or compound.

[mshsz]

.."TO SCREW THE MOTHERBOARD!" lol SORRY i couldnt help it. Nice vids btw.

[Georgefromaccounting]

You could get a gtx 260 for a work pc, but you can't get an aftermarket cooler... sigh.

[warrior5496]

Risers...? called stand offs, lol... and hey, someone like me that doesn't use them gay useless $7 "Grounding straps", I put my whole pc together in the winter with heaters on on my bedroom floor that has carpet, so supposedly that's bad... but never effected anything from the last 8 times I've taken my pc apart.

[vearheart42]

@warrior5496 Easiest way to keep you components safe is just touch metal before you touch PCB.

[DXcellence718]

OMG are you people like new to computers or what, the stock heatsinks COMES WITH FUCKING THERMAL PASTE APPLIED. So stop asking shit like "no paste?"

[q8sauod]

@DXcellence718 they thought they are smart :P .. they couldnt face the truth

[vearheart42]

@DXcellence718 If the person who said "No Paste" was like me then he was thinking "Why are you using the stock paste? Most stock Pastes(espcially Intels) is terrible paste and very low performance. I believe someone put ketchup on there cpu and it performed better then the Stock Intel Paste.

So I will say, "No Paste?"

[DXcellence718]

@vearheart42 That honestly makes no sense to me according to my English when people say things like "no paste" and "why didn't you use TIM" that means they are assuming NONE was used. If that is how you speak that's fine but that's not how it goes in general. Cause there are alot of peoe critizing him for assuming he didn't use thermal compound. Also I see no point in using good TIM on a shitty stock heatsink

[vearheart42]

@DXcellence718 When you have 30grams of Mx-2 like me you'd put thermal paste on everything!

And good thermal paste doesn't cost that much. This bottle of MX-2 cost me $40 but I've used it like 20+times and I'm not anywhere near finished with it. AS5 is pretty cheap too, hell even radio shack is good.

But honestly try Ketchup next time you apply thermal paste haha.

[561inurface]

@vearheart42 dude no paste means no paste... nothing more nothing less... if the man was refering to hte quality of paste he would hav said something like "shitty or bad paste" or something..

[vearheart42]

@561inurface Not if Iwere to say it, cause in my head I though "No aftermarket paste?"

[DazySmile]

no paste? 

[yankesstink]

What kind of motherbord???

[differences83]

@yankesstink see part1

[Dignifycommentary]

goddamn these fucking people are retarded.. did you not fucking see the grey thermal paste on the bottom of the cpu fan. goddamn. why fucking put thermalpaste when itS PRE FUCKING APPLIED. JESUS. btw this vid helped me and i built my own computer today! on it right now.

[faisal2003456]

Maybe he washed his hands before the build, then no problem if he touches the top of the cpu! Maybe the electrostatic bit makes sense, I admit that. The intel cpu has GOOD thermal paste already applied, according to benchmarks, This is one of my favorite builds on youtube lol.

[Deantje123]

Where is your cooling paste?

[NESMudkip]

@Deantje123 It was on the bottom of the cpu fan.

[dirtylogs]

@Deantje123 Its pre-applied on the bottom of the heatsink.

[Lionheart1188]

Ummmm the stock intel cooler has thermal compound already on it, whos dumb now bitches XD

[feverofhell2]

Did you use dual channel ram the first video you had a pack with 2 and a pack with 1...?

[MrTonglong]

haha you forgot the thermal grease you cabbage

[cchhrriiss825]

he doesnt need to put thermal compound.. its applied already.. 1:58-2:00

[Tanman671]

Really dude....dont make a video if you dont know what your doing which you obviously dont....your forgot to ground yourself...touched the top of the CPU...AND forgot your thermal compound.......i hope your computer fries

[Thomashed15]

@Tanman671 year he's right man.. The first thing I noticed was the missing thermal compound. that's not good dude..:S

[drummerkid1993]

@Tanman671 Intel heatsink has it already applied.

[mitchthegolfer]

1) who the hell uses a msi motherboard ? 2) why are you touching the top of the cpu! 3) where is your grounding wrist band ?!

[thevideoguy666]

@mitchthegolfer 1) MSI is a relatively well known brand, and I've used them before. 2) Touching the top of the CPU is completely fine, the pins, however, will not fair the same. 3) Unless you're in the middle of the Sahara Desert during a drout in a dry heat of 120 degrees, you're generally not going to run into problems with static electricity.

[heathheath90]

@thevideoguy666

You are a dumbass

[thevideoguy666]

@heathheath90 Any reasoning behind this? Why exactly am I a dumbass?

[heathheath90]

@thevideoguy666

With your given reasoning against his points i feel it would be a waste of time to really get into an argument. You obviously have not fully grasped the fact of which the CPU gets effected by and the electric potential of small static charge can have on a motherboard.

You judge by brand, your logic in which YOU alone thought out and you threw in random bullshit exaggerating a point that is still total bullshit.

[thevideoguy666]

@heathheath90 Cool story, bro. But do you think next time you could type something coherent?

[scripttester]

@mitchthegolfer 1) Whats wrong with MSI motherboards?

2)agree with you there

3)As long as you touch the metal case or PSU before you pick up a part it should be ok.

[ThEmIsTiCmUsIc]

@mitchthegolfer MSI Motherboards are AWESOME!!

[metroidred234]

@mitchthegolfer your really stupid aren't you?

[bvestationfan]

@mitchthegolfer u could touch the top of the CPU, not the bottom. MSI sucks. If you plug in the PSU and turn the switch off, the static in the case will drain into your PSU, which goes out the power cord

[rangepru]

hmmm what about the thermal grease like arctic silver... you should have put some on

[TheSwitijs]

@rangepru lol if you didnt see the cooling fan had some one!

[Georgefromaccounting]

@rangepru he used the crappy intel stock cooler which does have pre applied thermal compond.

[Henri2902]

@rangepru he used the original cpu fan that comes with thermal grease already added to the cooler

[bvestationfan]

@rangepru the stock cooler already has grease on it

[themanhunt1234]

@rangepru

It's optional.

[driv3r565]

@rangepru normally stock CPU coolers com with it pre-applied

[omgmyuserwasdisabled]

@rangepru its thermal paste?

[911turbo5]

@rangepru lolz well if u watched the first part he said its his first build but hes still stupid for not putting any thermal paste on ive never built one and i know that

[The91489]

@rangepru it had preapplied thermal paste on it didnt you see it lol

[ub3r1337pwn4g3]

You probably should have grounded yourself, the outside of an antistatic bag can conduct electricity, only the inside is protected

[ThePatrykfilm9000]

Is there a setting on the motherboard so you

processor can overclock??

[markman090]

You can do that with server motherboards.

[zCuben00b]

Virtual cores are a complete different things. The Asus PVL-D/SCSI has 2 CPU slots I think

[zCuben00b]

2 i7 = 8 cores.. -.- 4 cores each. Unless you're talking about the extreme addition, which is a 6 core, that's 12. I honestly don't know about two cores on a single mobo, but I think it's do-able.

[noodlez1968]

I agree - thermal paste is the way to go. Also I'm too crazy about the stock cpu cooler. I used the V8 cooler master on my build.

[sean123456789]

They come with pre-applied thermal paste. Maybe you should do so research before you call people idiots.

[bennerkiller]

@sean123456789 always apply thermal paste on the CPU!! its better

[bennerkiller]

ALWAYS APPLY THERMAL PASTE!!

[Butterzzz777]

wear latex gloves(decharging yourself first), static shock can short the processor!!!!!

[vacklinge]

don´t touch the top of the cpu, if u do that it will leave fatt marks, and the fatt will reduce the cooling fröm the coolar and it can also start to boil

[nightmare667711]

dude you are extremely geeky but you have GREAT videos so thanx

[IPaIKu]

NIce vid but to overclock dont use stock coolers that come with the CPU also if u get a better cooler you will need to apply thermal paste yourself.

[pedrito94gomez]

You idiot! You forgot the thermal paste! I wanna see you doing overclocking without it

[99crywolf]

You havent installed a boxed cpu i guess. Both AMD and Intel have thermal paste on the coolers already so there is no point adding any more. Check the video again.... at 1:58 he shows the cooler and guess what that grey stuff is..... thermal past!

[Nastpeh]

True, but the thermal paste that is already on the coolers is really bad. You really should go get your own (I recommend Arctic Silver 5) and apply it, you will see much better results.

[TheGregGeek]

it was preapplied onto the fan......FAIL!

[bestvidsdottk]

@pedrito94gomez it was his first time give him a break

[ButterOnMyBiscuit]

he said screw the motherboard :P

[LarsReviews]

did you put thermal compound between the cpu and cooler???

[moonshiry]

i didnt know there was a difference in plugging the ram in different slots

[EMILKIHLSTRM]

thanks mate

[2MakeTheDifference]

Very well explained.

Very clean, easy to understand, and straight to the point.

[latinoheat604]

Great video, keep making these great vids.

cheers. :)

[xerocool101]

lol thermal paste..sirsly.

[Icenstoiler]

is there a different between the blue channel and the black ones...(ram)?

[varulv005]

Use some termal paste (cooling paste)

at 2:00 ?

[GabrielPapaK]

srsly...

plus anti-static bracelet? Even if thats not too important...

[Drewrob26]

@varulv005 on oem fans the thermal grease is already applied

[tannermiddleton]

heatsinks come with thermal paste pre applied not the best but its more than enough to keep it cool

[GregTechTV]

@varulv005 It's already pre-applied to the CPU cooler.
