why did they get a meme heat sink?

 

[Death Metalist]

Everybody's golf and PC building. This is my shit. Also, Rorie wants to play Divinity 2 but he doesn't know when he'll have the time to do so.

The parts so far.

817.34$ for everything except the SSD and video card (1080ti). Brad had to get it under budget.

 

[brainzelda]

I built my computer 3 years ago, but I really don't feel compelled to upgrade. All games that come out are built to the lowest common denominator (i.e. base Xbox One and PS3), that I'm never too far off from 1080p/60 with some tweaks.

The only time I would consider it is to run games at 4K. But do I really want to play on a 4K screen a foot away from my face?

 

[Zaph]

You could always wait for the next CPU/GPU generation. Still RAM prices are crazy because of shortages, GPU prices are crazy because of mining. So your best bet is picking a general model and wait for sales.

Yup. The PC is my primary platform, but now is not a great time. Even the main PC podcast I listen to is telling people just to get a PS4

If anyone's still intent on spending some money, I'd wait for 1070ti and 8700k reviews - both should be this month or early October.

It does fit the LGA 1151 socket, just put one in not to long ago. The instructions that come with the cooler are just really bad and just followed the LGA 1150 instructions and youtube tutorials.

They really didn't need to get a heatsink. A Ryzen with the provided fan would have been more than enough for their needs.

Can't watch right now. What does their pc case look like?

I picked my heatsink based on looks. The stock cooler looks awful.

it's not a boat

 

[Teddified]

haha these sand traps

 

[Fevaweva]

I have that same cooler as well. Damn good bit of kit.

 

[Easy_D]

Brad building a PC live is giving me anxiety, but surely a man with hair that slick can't fail?

 

[Wunder]

rorie is hilarious

 

[Phatmac]

Guess I'll wait until reviews for the new PC parts.

 

[NightOnyx]

Yeah I have a Ryzen 5 1600 with the provided fan and it's fantastic! I have no issues with temps, and I've even overclocked it a bit with zero problems. They would have saved some money on their build as well.

Yeah I built my girlfriends PC recently with that CPU and it's perfect. Sounds like Brad didn't use PC Part Picker either.

Could have been so much easier!

can't have a #boatparty without Austin

sounds like me and 2017 in general

 

[Twin Tails]

It’s a fucking cartoon 👀

 

[Teddified]

It’s a fucking cartoon 👀

the best kind.

 

[Wunder]

PPD isnt even ON EG anymore BEN

 

[BTA]

Ended up on the Sunshine wiki and uh.

This is some good terminology.

 

[OdysseusVA]

What the hell is Brad doing

 

[Salarians]

just like reboot guy

 

[Teddified]

live upf recruiting.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yes please have Danny on UPF! He's moving away soon!

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

Danny O'Dwyer on UPF tomorrow.

 

[SunDimension24]

I guess Danny on UPF tomorrow. Somebody find a Cricket or Rugby game!

 

[daveo42]

There has to be instructions on how to mount that heatsink.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Danny on UPF
Yes.

 

[OdysseusVA]

There has to be instructions on how to mount that heatsink.

There is but this is more fun

The 212 is a pain in the ass even if you know how to put it on. The newer, closed loop coolers are so much easier as long as you don't do it completely blind like in their last stream.

 

[wenis]

brad not putting in the ram is bumming me out.

 

[def sim]

Brad is a spreader. 😵

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Disgusting Brad.

 

[OverBlood 3]

The chat need to chill out over the thermal paste.

 

[Gandie]

inb4 it's too high and blocks the cooler.

 

[Death Metalist]

that's my fetish

 

[SunDimension24]

I always do thermal paste at the size of a pea.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That, and then don't spread. It's the only way.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Brad's got a thicc head of hair.

 

[def sim]

inb4 it's too high and blocks the cooler.

Fingers crossed Brad remembered to get low profile ram. 😰

Though I guess he can put the heat sink fan on the other side if there's no space.

 

[Wunder]

mad men spoilers

 

[tuxfool]

Fingers crossed Brad remembered to get low profile ram. 😰

That mobo seems to have space.

I'm still laughing at the idea of them spending all that money for a "barely" upgrade over their old rig.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Lol

It'll be great if the heatsink blocks the empty ram slots

NVM looks good

 

[wenis]

inb4 it's too high and blocks the cooler.

it's going to 😰

WHY IS HE PUTTING IN THERMAL PASTE

THE COOLER USUALLY HAS THERMAL PASTE PREAPPLIED AHHH

Aftermarket coolers usually don't, the cheapo ones that come with some CPU's usually do though.
