Jason is a real bro for this one.

 

[def sim]

did Jeff explain why he even decided to do water cooling

It's common for people to choose it because they like the look better.

 

[hamchan]

Shoulda just paid the extra few bucks and got the computer shop to build it for ya.

 

[Robaperas]

This Hitman video is an hour and a half long
Before I watch it, someone spoil it for me

Does he pull it off?

No and yes.

only the first 18 minutes are the elusive target

 

[Salarians]

did you know Yuri on Ice isn't a yuri anime, but a shounen ai anime?

I thought that was interesting

 

[kai3345]

sleepy I'm at the bar (I think???) and I don't see drew or Danny here oh god help

 

[Rainmaker]

It's really cool of Jason to stay with Jeff. This is The Good Content

 

[Archaix]

They're leaving this on a cliffhanger? I've wasted the last...ten minutes that I've actually been paying full attention to the stream.

 

[funkystudent]

If Jeff brings that PC home and boots it on himself Ill be pissed.


I need to see the end of this story.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

Doing it is really satisfying, just gotta RTFM

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Lisa pls undrstand

 

[robotrock]

that last shot

 

[Teddified]

Well that was a stream.

[Sabas]

4 and a half hours. Jesus.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Final run time: 4 hours, 7 minutes (and that's not counting the pre-stream waiting screen, which makes it 4 hours, 37 minutes). That Pre-Thanksgiving UPF (which was apparently the longest UPF) clocked in at just under 4 hours, making tonight's UPF the new longest one.

 

[Bowlie]

Jason was a real pal.

 

[def sim]

I'm pretty confident Jeff can get this done in less than an hour much faster, from scratch, if he were at home watching some youtube videos for guidance. Streaming this and building somewhat blind super didn't help.

 

[Twin Tails]

4hr long stream
this was beautiful mess

 

[funkystudent]

That was a heck of a UPF.



PC building so so easy guys! Its like lego!

 

[def sim]

Hah Dan was in this for a bit? Gotta see this archive.

 

[robotrock]

PC building so so easy guys! Its like lego!

It is easy and you'll have a fine time if you watch some helpful Youtube videos beforehand.

The problem here was the water cooling, which you don't need.

Indeed. This was just a unfortunate one off. I bet the handymen over at GBeast would never run into such issues.

Oh.


(ill be fine. I am basically building what a friend did a few months ago and he can help out. But I feel ok about not buying a water cooler now)

 

[mere_immortal]

That was a heck of a UPF.

They were also trying to build the lego without looking at the manual in this example. Even if you're 100% sure you know where it goes just check it anyway.

Yeah you'll be fine. If you're concerned about running into GB Beast's problem, just make sure you're buying a compatible motherboard for your CPU. They spec'd out the PC wrong. Spec your PC right before you order the parts.

 

[def sim]

Yeah, I've found the cpu cooler/heatsink (water or air) to consistently give people the most trouble. Watching a video or having someone help is a must if you're new to PC building or haven't built many.

Also, always, always use pcpartpicker to avoid incompatible parts.

 

[demidar]

Installing the heat sink was the most troublesome part of my build. Everything else just clicks in.

[Phionoxx]

There's no shame at all in watching a video or reading a guide for doing a PC build. There's tons of good resources out there. And yeah the CPU heatsinks can be a pain to install. Worth it in the end though for things to run cool and quiet.

 

[robotrock]

Stock CPU heatsinks are in fact pretty easy though, at least for Intel CPUs

 

[funkystudent]

Yeah you'll be fine. If you're concerned about running into GB Beast's problem, just make sure you're buying a compatible CPU/Motherboard combo. I think they spec'd out the PC wrong? Can't remember. Spec your PC right before you order the parts.

Everything should be grand.

But just for shits here is my build.

i5 6600k
Asus z170-A motherboard
Cooler master Hyoer 212 evo CPU cooling.
500gig SSD
GTX1060 6gb
Corsair 3000mhz DDR4 ram
650 watt PSU.

And still bouncing around case ideas.

I know everything fits together. Its 95% the build my pal did.


Only thing I am worried about is shorting out the motherboard with the case somehow. I keep seeing this mythical disaster mentioned but I dont understand it or how to avoid it.

you use standoffs. they're like little screws that prevent the case and board touching.

 

[FStop7]

This was secretly Mario Party Party 8.

Just make sure your standoffs are installed before you put the mobo in. The mobo and case manuals will show you where to put them and the screws, plus there's a middle one that will hold your mobo in place if you've put it in right.

Pretty sure I know why Dan wanted to do DDR

Mario Mix is an amazing beginner DDR.

I actually played on the newest DDR machine this last week and had a blast.

[dhlt25]

they had problem with the heatsink? but isn't modern water cooled CPU cooler really straight forward? last one I used was with my 2500k but it was very easy, much easier than setting up whole system water cooler
