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

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

[–] TranaCosmica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 11 months ago

I'm horrified.

[–] Asweet@lemmy.ca 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 3 points 11 months ago

I think Windows 11 would be funnier

[–] 4_degrees@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

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

It's always a pleasure to watch a professional at work.

I had to stop myself from down voting this

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

I applaud your self-restraint.

Forgot the metallic nail polish and neodymium magnets.

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

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 11 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.

[–] papertowels@mander.xyz 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 months ago

perfect customer experience

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago

Now start it up. I dare you.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I threw up in my mouth

Edit: Oh my God there is sound...

[–] marker2002@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How dare you make me watch that again!

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I didn't watch it the second time, just noticed the fact.

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 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 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This actually made me tear up.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

Tears of joy I'd assume :)

[–] tyler@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 6 points 11 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 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago

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

LOL, I like this guy.

That makes sense. Thanks!

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

[–] bitfucker@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago
