Thread 82290923

Normies find building a PC to be some great feat done by nerds. Its literally just picking some parts & assembling it together, its incredibly simple.

This disgusts me

Am I a normie if I think this, that shit is too much work

yes, do you just buy a whole new pc if this one doesn't perform well you damn monkey?

i have used computers for my whole life and fear building a PC
it all seemed reasonable until i heard about thermal paste

The only thing I would check in hindsight is that the memory clock frequency is compatible with the moba with the QVL listing, I'm overclocked on a 3600 mhz frequency but did a memtest and it's okay, just has issues booting with the SATA ports plugged in (abrupt power loss with HDD).

Currently running a Ryzen 7 3700 with a RTX 2070

CPUs and motherboards are usually sold as a packaged unit so that you don't deal with that unless you're specifically upgrading your CPU to another one with the same socket type and not your motherboard

I have 107 IQ and it took me like 13 hours to do it. It's pretty hard

i seem to break anything i touch(especially computers) so im scared of it
and i did break something but i bought a new one and finished the build

>following lego instructions is hard
memory in dimm slot, everything else in it's PCIe slot. SATA cables for hard disk drives,
Thermal paste on CPU, with intercooler/heatsink. Mounting in case (fans) and formatting/installation of device drivers (monitor/graphics card).

yeah but random shit wouldnt go in some parts were ambiguous some screws i couldnt find then you put something wrong and have to undo it, i dont know there were tons of problems each would take like an hour to solve

My favorite line is
>wow, you're so good at computers. Why arent you making money doing this?
