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.

I'm horrified.

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 1 year ago

I think Windows 11 would be funnier

[–] 4_degrees@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year 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

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 1 year ago

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

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

perfect customer experience

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Now start it up. I dare you.

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

I threw up in my mouth

Edit: Oh my God there is sound...

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

How dare you make me watch that again!

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

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

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

This actually made me tear up.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Tears of joy I'd assume :)

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

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

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 4 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
