This is the IT version of the How To Basic videos.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

I wanna see the magic smoke that means it work leave the computer

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 months ago

DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND GO SIT IN THE CORNER FOR WHAT YOU JUST DID.

[-] TranaCosmica 23 points 2 months ago

I'm horrified.

[-] Asweet@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago

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

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I think Windows 11 would be funnier

[-] 4_degrees@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I thought it was earnestly bad and then it just kept going... it's like a body horror film or something

[-] AnAverageSnoot@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

I had to stop myself from down voting this

[-] irelephant@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

I applaud your self-restraint.

1/10 didn’t even secure cpu or second ram stick with hammer

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That's ok, he probably taped them in later on.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I like my parts to fit toolessly when I'm done, so I use my router to dovetail the joints and secure them with gorilla glue in case the joints expand.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago

So you totally can put thermal paste in the pins like that. Everything else….

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] L7HM77@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

But yeah thermal paste just isn’t conductive and the pressure supplied to the pins is high enough to still get contact.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

You could hurt yourself, or worse: damage your computer.

LOL, I like this guy.

That makes sense. Thanks!

[-] papertowels@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Oh god I just realized those white dots between the CPU and the cooler are probably those adhesive Velcro dots.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If you hole punch the CPU to get it to fit, you don't have to worry about it overheating....

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Now start it up. I dare you.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

perfect customer experience

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wow, they messed up big time. Should have followed this tutorial

[-] bitfucker@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

So this is the full version huh

[-] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Bro forgot to mount that atx board in his micro itx case with a nail gun and a pair of shears.

[-] blarth@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 months ago

This actually made me tear up.

[-] irelephant@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Tears of joy I'd assume :)
