"Oh that says DP"
"My butt's like, clenching watching her jam things into things."
This took a quick turn.

Two big takeaways....first is that I didn't realize how much I take for granted how much I don't have to think about from building computers for many, many years and the second one is that she did really well...third takeaway....turn everything upside down and shake the crap out of it to make sure that it's mounted.

Gentlemen, dont handle your computer to your girlfriend kkkkk

Yeah... check to see if your GPU is inserted correctly by wiggling it up and down in the pcie slot... that one really made me jump

Who needs to waterboard Linus when you can just strap him down and play videos like this on repeat for days

She did not just shake that case

shes so cute.

im surprised the PCIE slot is not broken by the end of it, the way she tortured that GPU and motherboard man....

Really ask yourselves "Why do they not make all the PCIE slot's metal with better locking brackets for GPU's? As you always wonder...." Is this in right?" as she did right there! Even if your a more experienced builder! I'm in my 40's and have been building computers since DOS day's, and every single time I always forget stuff, I always have to stop and look stuff up, I always have to see if shit's in the right spot, or where does this fan go, or this light for the power, or blah, blah, blah! Many times it makes zero sense the way these are designed! And that says something right there!

Do you wanna give me anxiety? Because this is how you give me anxiety!
Seriously though. She's actually doing a pretty good job for a first time build tbh. Good job Sarah!

Linus, also a dinosaur. ❤️

Linus stress induced brain aneurysm, when?

This just goes to show how lazy the people who designed computers are! The reason I say this should be obvious, but I'll elaborate anyway. Linus said "They should've just made it 10 pins instead so this wouldn't happen, because as I've showed in past videos you can put that in there!" And he's right! The reason why they didn't do it that way isn't because of cost or anything like that....it's because it's easier and less work for us to do it this way, instead of being LOGICAL, they where lazy!

Your ads suck. Stupid topic anyways.

man if that guide was still up on youtube she might've used it

From what i experienced, the £150 saving on the parts was far outweighed by the warranty/support offered from a pre build......once you've built one whats the point ?

I don't know much about computers, but I can notice the pain on your face and your voice

19:57

Yes she nailed it. For a first-time builder, let's be honest, Sarah wasn't bad AT All. We've all seen much worse. Points for the Google-fu. There should be a worldwide PSA to not shake motherboards and computers around though. Please. Her look of accomplishment and satisfaction shows why building your own computer is a great thing to do.


However, this was not a video on a beginner building her own computer instead of buying one from a pc builder. Oh no no no. This was actually a video about how much stress and sheer mental anguish the rest of the team could inflict on poor Linus to see if he snapped. This video took poor defenseless Linus 🙄, who is passionate about computers and likes to take charge, and forced him to watch someone who is inexperienced trying to force parts into a motherboard, then shake it (while remembering that the parts come out of his bottom line). This was cruel cruel torture. To be fair to the team, I'm sure he probably did something to deserve it. It was actually more painful to watch Linus watch the build, than watch Sarah build it. Both were entertaining.

pain.

I literally had to pause this video and take a break to let my blood pressure go down

“just like i always nail out sponsors” -linus 2021. pure gold.

This was a great video, thanks LTT!

I was a professional PC builder for quite a few years and I have definitely duct taped SATA SSDs, forgotten backplates, and I still think mounting the cooler is the hardest part of every build.
I think she did incredibly well.

Who is this girl? And why does she have heroin voice?

Sorry but I'm here for Linus' pain. This is poetry.

“Why isnt she watching LTT “😄😄🤣

Linus's reaction is like mine every time he drops something

Alternate video title: How to torture Linus

Google & Youtube: DO WE EVEN EXIST, SARAH??!
At least she used a forum, rather than random facebook "pros" that commonly give bass-ackwards info. Props for her positivity.

yes, I'm here again. I usually buy a bare bones set-what I mean by that is something that's got all the parts, but not the parts I want. After that, I slowly replace each piece in the computer with better/updated. By the time I have the Computer I want, it's time to go to the next form factor. Sigh.

Honestly, much better than my first build :D

THIS GAVE ME ANXIETY OMG IS THAT HOW NORMAL PEOPLE SEE COMPUTERS OHH OHH IM HIPERVENTILATING

"Watch me criticize someone repeatedly every step they make while they do something they've never done before."
Moving on to something else to watch.

Still way better than the Verge build.

why do motherboards even use IO shields anymore, they should just be part of the board

stupid video !! girls give the gamer notebook on the table .

Oh shit, I screamed when she pulled the GPU out like that!!! I felt food start to come up when I saw....god no! GOd noooo!

Still never get used to seeing you with masks on. Feels so.....wrong.

I recently purchased a new computer with on-board graphics, and I was thinking about installing a new GPU. Prices seem sky-high, but since i've never really looked for a stand-alone graphics card before, I have no idea what a decent one *should* cost. I'm seeing them for $500-$800+ CAD... that seems pretty steep. Are prices super-high right now b/c of the covid situation (or whatever else), or are they always this pricey?

"I feel like at LMG we just YOLo" 😂😂😂

You should just put in all people's contracts that maybe they should watch some PC building videos. At some point they may have to build one.

19:04 i cant even get my hands on a gpu at the moment and seeing this was heart breaking xD

Every shake of the GPU made me curl my toes out of pure confused anxiety. 😬

what a fucking way to have someone never hired again on tech companies for the rest of their lives.

RtFm
Read the ....manual

Legit... I was shouting, "don't touch it!!!" on the thermal paste... ofc it was all inside my head xD

Why the hell are you saying AMD is better? AMD is NOT BETTER! I just had my AMD GPU crash 5x today after an update! BTW it crashes all the damned time! And it doesn't work well with VR at all! Oh and it doesn't work well with Audio at all either! You might think, why does a GPU mater in audio? Well to put the GUI's of your plugins on your screen! Duh! Also you'd be surprised how much everything in you computer relies on and interacts with everything else in your computer! AMD also does not support Thunderbolt! And considering Thunderbolt is a must in Audio(90% of the top audio interfaces are Thunderbolt, and UAD(Universal Audio-which makes DSP boxes that run their plugins over Thunderbolt, they also make THE BEST analog compressor's in history, and the Apollo Interfaces which are the #1 selling interfaces for good reason) is basically all Thunderbolt! And AMD's driver support still sucks! I wasn't able to play VR(after buying the Oculus Quest 2 @ 2020Xmas)on the computer for 2.2 months after buying it and Half Live Alyx for VR because AMD's drivers' are crap! My buddy has the same exact build as I do except for GPU(he's got NVidia)and PSU, and CPU cooler! He's got the same case, ram, and cpu, he's got a better GPU(Nvidia 1070) vs my AMD 590, which I bought on sale last Black Friday to replace my AMD 290x Sapphire card that I bought in 2012 and I had nothing but problems with it, although it was powerful it was full of problems! So I got the 590 for $169 on sale last Black Friday'ish time right before the crazy price blitz that went on with GPU's that is absolutely ridiculous! I won't be buying a new GPU for the next 2-4yrs until prices come way the hell down! I'd instead buy a whole freaking computer and toss out parts like, case, fans, cpu coolers, motherboards, etc. That would be cheaper than putting together a cpu right now! It's just crazy ridiculous! And the companies themselves(I'm looking at you MSI) are taking their cards straight from the factory and selling them to CARD SHARKS to sell to companies, it's illegal and crazy but no one is doing anything about it so it just keeps going on and on! I got the better GPU Cooler(Noctua D15), the better fans(Noctua140mm A14 or something), and PSU EVGA 1300 Supernova G2. He bought a cheapo Rosewill PSU 750watt and it blew up about 2 months in. Luckily he didn't have to replace anything else besides the psu and one of the fans on his Thor V2 case(I've got the same case), although it's a 230mm fan so only Bitfenic makes a replacement for it which sucks cause it's an awesome size fan! Bigger is always better! Don't let the girls lie to you boys! Well unless you've got a 13incher trying to blast her in the ass...then bigger is not always better! Might be a bit much tbh!

5 min later: SHAKES THE CASE TO SEE IF THE MOTHERBOARD IS IN

Alternative title for this video:
Beatiful girl with nice smile odes her best, and makes him suffer!

Thank the Lord that the motherboard was already screwed into the case, otherwise I would have just died! STOP SHAKING THE DAMN THINGS!

when she just flippt the ting upside down i was like "OH NO"

is this torture ?

And somehow that desktop is going to run for years being prestressed 🤣

Very Noice!!!

We need to watch Sarah and Madison do a full water build with Linus and Luke watching.

I got a low profile GTX 1050 Ti for just $200

15:46 You can pinpoint the EXACT moment his heart skips a beat

But if you build a computer engineer PC, then building own can be a good idea. Trust me.

Hes a linusaur

I'm glad she wasn't handling any expensive new GPUs in this video lmao Imagine shaking a 3090 or 6900XT violently like that to make sure its in hahaha

Man the duct tape part really gave me a good laugh. Great vid

i got a 3070 for $659

That was gross.

That entire GPU installation part... oh man, my poor heart. Great job otherwise!

the fact that she laughs when she almost fully fucks up her 1,500 pc hurts me

i built my pc with no experiance and i had no problems like is she stupid or am i built different

I like how i also get to see the GIGABYTE Insist on untra durable screen when i start up my pc...23:45

I am very confused: if she didn't know anything about computers why not just taking a complete build on pcpartpicker that fits her budget?

It's funny when it's not your money you're throwing away.

And this Ladies and Gentlemen, why you watch a LTT video on building a pc before you build a pc...

Almost got hearth attack watching this.

Her: Getting a 1660s super for $700
Me with a 1660 supper and bought it for $250: 👁👄👁
Me Scrolling through ebay thinking of selling it: 👁👄👁

this girl reminds me of the chick in the music video of "Chainsmokers - selfie"
which was talking a lot and would always finish with a phrase "...LET ME TAKE A SELFIE"...

I mean like she didnt put the gpu in the ram slots so gj

Or...Buy a PS5 for $499.00, a new TV, and a few games and enough for a couple of dinners.

I just rofled, gj

I don´t care how she did with the building, I am just in love with her smile and positive attitude

No legit i legit watch someone do the things she's doing ill scream

Talk about bad idea.. My mom bought all the parts for me and I tried putting it together but fail and messed up one of the things on the cpu. at this point I don't think I even deserve a pc.

I enjoy the videos. But the mask thing kills me. Again good video

550W Power supply? I think she better off with 650W

"Just like I always nail our sponsor segues"

"but Intel is cheaper"
I never thought I'd hear those words, I've been away from PC news for too long...
Watching an amateur put a PC together still doesn't give me confidence in trying it myself though.
It's worth trying if you have disposable income, in case you really screw up & break/fry parts.
Also I died inside when she rebooted while it was doing an important setup process, biggest no no.

9:43 I think the same thing every time I look on Device Manager and see all those "Unknown Devices" for which even Windows can't figure out which driver to install.

All computers parts makers should have to watch this.

The giant jogging intringuingly apologise because modem contrarily breathe including a gray greasy great sturgeon. melodic, tricky curler

"I don't want to go intel..." welp that's gonna be awkward when Sarah gets her $5000 intel extreme tech upgrade

If you keep computers long-term, always 'overspend' on motherboard. You can upgrade the other stuff over time.

It's easy for you bro. That's your job.

Nowerdays how it is hard to build your own PC at all?
Peperation:
Look for Components and Tests of those Parts just to see what you realy need and get Informations to some Manufacturers like BeQuiet, Intel, AMD, Invidia, Radeon, Samsung, IBM, Toshiba for example.
Sidenote:
Maybe i am Oldschool, but i prefer no mixing Chipsets in my builds therefore i only pair Intel with Invidia and AMD with AMD Radeon Cards ...
Because sometimes some Issues accure if you have an Intel Board and an AMD Card, so in some cases blueschreens accure or Games just crash on you for no aperent Reason... I realy don´t know why that is, but it sometimes happens to People and magicly disapears when you go with an Invidia-Card instead.
Step 1: Set a Budget and pick your Components acordingly.
Step 2: Chose your CPU maybe if it is overclockable or not in case of Intel and look on the Pricetag, then chose your Cooler acordingly.
Step 3: Chose your Mainboard acording to your CPU Socket and needed Features
Step 4: Chose your RAM and fill your Slots up with an reasonable Clockspeed wich is suported by that Mainboard you chosed before.
Step 5: Chose your Graphicscard acording to the Need you have.
Step 6: Chose your Harddrives. A Decent sides M2 SSD and an regular SSD works fine... one for the Windows and Games, the other one for Storage. Maybe you want also an Bluerayplayer/Burner as well.
Step 7: Chose your Case so everything fits in.
Step 8: Chose your Powersupply
Tip:
Manuals include Instructions how to do certain Things and EVERY SINGLE PART, exept your CPU, you order is delivered with one.
Just follow those Instructions.
Usual Setup for that Build:
Tools you Need:
1 small Philips Screwdriver
1 Clipper/small scisor (for Zipties)
Get your Case, install that Powersuply, then the Mainboard, then the M2. SSD, then the CPU and Cooler, then the RAM, then the Graphicscard, then the Other Drives...
Just look at your Cablemanagement while you Build that PC so you have no disturbence of Airflow in your Case and your Cooling isn´t afected by dangling Stuff. Zipties are quite handy for that.

Linus must be reminded of the first times he built a computer, specially the dropping and the checking.

24:40 if I was Linus and this bitch called me a dinosaur, she would no longer be employed with the company. lol, show some respect ya Zoomer!

My 11 year old and I built his new pc for Christmas 🎄. We put it all together and it worked. He loves it. Saved at least $1000 and got more than he wanted.

This hurts to watch

The backplate serves the purpose of making contact to ground. Useful when there is a power surge. I am cringing so hard with Linus.

haha this is painful to watch.

Well done Sarah and I was cringing along with you Linus.
I really enjoyed this but I would have been happy to watch a video twice as long or a serialised version as it felt kinda rushed to me; the title will undoubtedly draw in some people considering their first build so more info on each of the stages (research, resources and build) could of added to the educational side as well as providing for more entertaining moments too.

Glad I got my computer a year ago, paid much less than that for my 1660 super
