If I were him, I'd be asking around to see if there were a better editorial company looking for work. I wouldn't want to work for any company that'd drop the ball this badly, and he does have some ability. Just needs to try not to trail off in his thoughts a bit...really had me cringing at that radiator install.
If so, it must've Wooshed over my head. lol
Wasn't there a story of someone actually using MW?If the video was supposed to be a parody then he would of broke out the jar of Miracle Whip for Thermal Compound...
Speaking of which, him applying thermal compound made me cringe bigtime...
This was me when I built my first "real" computer with the 8700k.
Put a little too much on, oozed over the edge of the processor.
Didn't matter since I quickly realized I had to beef up the cooling system
Yes, there is nothing racist about pointing out this person had no business building a PC before they did a lot of more research. It is used as a get out of jail free card to play the racist card. Anyone that made racist comments is wrong, but it doesn't make it OK for the Verge to then basically not acknowledge the entire video is a train wreck.
It's always better to not harass, but to use truth to make your point. Truth isn't harassment, no matter what the person being evaluated thinks. It's blatantly obvious to anyone with even a small amount of PC build experience that there are so many examples of what not to do that these guys should have just said, yes we messed up, look for our next video to be extremely better. It's like they won't admit their goofs and don't want to improve, and most sane people will then move on to greener pastures and say bye bye to the Verge.
Meme it up baby! Woo Hoo!
Well I was of that mindset too, until I met a person who didn't have a single screwdriver in his household. If someone told me I wouldn't have believed such a person existed.
Exactly. They could have paid a few Capital One dollars to Kyle and his personnel to vet what he was going to do.
Its the usual "we have lost the arguement, we must find some moral highground to dismiss all other critism's"
I was totally sure this guy was just following the script, that some other moron decided to throw this guy in to do the video and he was just trying to do what he was told. After hearing this, he's just a prick, and should be fired. If the issues were fixed after the fact, why wasn't that then edited in to the video before publication, and why hasn't the guide been updated? Why was the video taken down, instead of addressed after the fact with these corrections at least? It still works, lame.
It's like the gift that keeps on giving, he doesn't know when to stop digging his hole of shame. It will be interesting to see how this dumpster fire unfurls.
You can have a x16 sized (full length) PCI-E slot that only runs with x1, x4, or x8 bandwidth.
Every motherboard I've had says to leave the plastic cover in and let it pop out when securing the retaining bracket. This is the proper way.
The bracket is double jointed and moves completely out of the way. Never had an issue with just dropping the CPU into the LGA when pin 1 is lined up.
Not me. I actually read the instructions and attacked them one at a time with my first build. Took me like 4 hours, but it ran perfectly. Believe it or not, everything one needs to know about assembling a full PC is in the motherboard instructions, so you don't even need to juggle multiple books.
I was up and running with Windows 10 in about 20 minutes on a clean SATA SSD. Windows 7 and earlier took hours, admittedly, but W10 installations are generally much faster. Of course, it takes extra time to tweak once everything installed, but that is really an ongoing process in the "Windows as a service" world.
I included that in my time estimate. Updates are streamlined in the Windows installation if you're connected to the internet at the time. I also have all the drivers and software I need on a thumb drive. If I need a new graphic driver then it takes about 2 minutes to download and 4 minutes to install.
