This is the IT version of the How To Basic videos.
I was hoping that the last shot was going to be that of a screen with a windows installer running.
But like, Vista or something
I thought it was earnestly bad and then it just kept going... it's like a body horror film or something
I had to stop myself from down voting this
Still probably runs Doom
Oh that’s. . . Wait . . . Oh no, don’t . . . Well that’s not gonna work, is it . . Ohhhhh . . . Oh come on . . . What are you-?!
1/10 didn’t even secure cpu or second ram stick with hammer
Oh god I just realized those white dots between the CPU and the cooler are probably those adhesive Velcro dots.
Bro forgot to mount that atx board in his micro itx case with a nail gun and a pair of shears.
I threw up in my mouth
Edit: Oh my God there is sound...
So you totally can put thermal paste in the pins like that. Everything else….
Really? If it's conductive, it'll short every pin. If not, it won't connect CPU to motherboard?
I figure you're probably correct, but I don't understand.
There was a video I watched several years ago, no idea how to find it again, where this guy fucked up a motherboard / CPU with thermal paste to see if you actually can add 'too much paste.' Directly underneath the pins, wayyy too much on top, extra around the socket for good measure, smashed it all together, and the thing just... boots normally...
Kinda makes sense tho, every tube of paste I've used was marked as nonconductive, and the CPU socket should be designed such that carbon buildup is scraped from the pins when reseating, which would clear away the paste and allow good contact.
But yeah thermal paste just isn’t conductive and the pressure supplied to the pins is high enough to still get contact.
This actually made me tear up.
Wow, they messed up big time. Should have followed this tutorial
