bro even the prebuilt pc i bought from a sketchy ass website put a psu bomb but didnt glue the cpu cooler wtf 💀

Talking about an overheating CPU and replacing the graphics card with a smaller one.

Homie put the wrong audio file over the wrong video lmao

Dried thermal paste more likely. Warm up cpu for a bit, apply 99% isopropyl, twist and gently pry until suction releases

Man swapped a big ass GPU to some tiny one 😭😭

As someone who works for Bestbuy/Geeksquad I must say 2 things. 1 I don't know of a single desktop we (or any other retailer) sell with a glued aio... Like never. 2. Not all stored work on desktop due to it not being in our SOP, so it's a hit or miss so that's probably what happened lol. But yeah no aio fail to often to glue them in.

Before I really knew how easy it is to "build" your own pc I thought that you had to build each individual component and I was always so overwhelmed by the thought.. now that I know how easy it is I feel like it should be called assembling your PC not building it lol

Geek Squad is very hit-and-miss when it comes to diagnosing hardware issues. The whole reason I got into building PCs is that Geek Squad was unable to fix my machine the last time I used their services so I just learned how to do it myself.

Don't ever buy a pre-built pc unless it comes with customization out of the box. Either that or get a pc store to assemble one for you if you don't know how.

Those msi radiators while I love them crap out so quickly

U can use nail polish remover and apply it between the cooler and cpu with a paint brush

it’s a great experience, idk about the “a lot of fun” part lol. I’ve had my fair share of crapping my pants bc it won’t boot

He forgot to mention building your own pc is cheaper 😂

That's why custom-made PCs are an option of choice for gamers and heavy taskers.

My first desktop pc was a prebuilt from Acer, it had a GTX 1650 and I tried to upgrade it to an RTX 3050 but the power supply didn’t have enough power so I tried to buy a new one but the motherboard had a 6 pin connector for the power not a 24 pin so I just ended up building a whole new pc

Greedy companies at it again

Microcenter is dope. Also newegg is pretty good for prebuilds.

First time I hear companies glueing cpu coolers, sounds like BS from this channel

So 3-5 years ago got a PC for Christmas. 1060 and i5-5700 Intel CPU. when the crypto pieces dropped drastically a little while ago I bought an 1070 to upgrade. Could have done 1080 to but my PC has rivits holding everything in, and big mounts for the DVD drive. Small case, had to take tin snips and cut out the holders for the disk drive just to make the card fit in the case. I hate prebuilds for the fact they are just trying to do what every other tech company does, nad not allowing us the right to repair. But luckily they aren't dominating the market and we still fight back.

you see, this is why I hate prebuilts. idk if it was ACTUALLY glued or it just seemed like it when it was just a display unit with dried out thermal paste that wouldnt release, but I'd rather just pick my own parts and build my own PC, it's cheaper, and I know it's done right. Most modern desktops are like a high tech lego build that uses screws and actually does something when it's finished. I absolutely love to see people getting into the PCMR because, tbh, it's the best option. Consoles are an okay option simply because for Playstation and Xbox you need to pay for an extra subscription with either Sony or Microsoft to be able to use the online functionality of a game, whereas on PC it just works. Plus on PC you don't have to worry about what works and what doesn't, because most games are already supported on windows, and thanks to Valves work on Proton, we have an actually good option for gaming on linux as long as anti-cheat doesn't deliberately break stuff (looking at you and Byfron, Roblox).

I started with a pre-built but before I even settled on it I made sure everything was removable. 6 years later, at this point the only thing that remains of the old prebuilt is the case. Everything else I've slotted in myself~ Just recently upgraded to a ryzen 7 cpu from my previous 3, and installed some more fans. I call it 'Frankenstein'.

Since I built my first pc a week ago, it was actually a good experience besides stuffing the cables in the back panel

this is why i looked at reviews for my pre built hopefully he can get a good new pc

I haven’t even started building mine and I’m beyond stressed it’s way too much to handle for me

I’ve been told if someone at geek squad in the back room says I don’t want to work on this They all just say they don’t know how to fix it Even when they might know how

If you get a prebuilt at least get “IBuyPower”. They give you a good motherboard, power supply, and case. The only thing they cheap out on is the Ram, cpu, and gpu. But that’s fine because you should put your own gpu, cpu, ram anyways

Never heard of PC parts being glued on

heard you can use 99% isopropyl alcohol to get rid of super glue on pc fans although im not sure it works with any other glues

I think even corsair has build it yourself kits you can buy complete with full instructions.

I can confirm that building it yourself WAS NOT ALOT OF FUN but it was WORTH IT 😂

Heat gun entered chat

Proprietary sucks. Ever since some makers made their power supply’s that if you went aftermarket you’d fry the MB due to a convoluted molex connector back a few years ago. Maybe still. Personal builds are always preferred.

Glued the cooler to the processor to prevent upgrades??? *facepalm* brilliant idea! bet that glue was the issue to begin with too!

glueing the cpu is a humans rights violation

Moral of the story is, never buy a pre built Pc.

I had no idea that companies did that

Just bought my first pc two days ago and patiently waiting for it but the next one I’m gonna build it myself…seems fun and bringing something to life would be a kick‼️

The omen pcs from hp are pretty upgradable, only issue is the motherboard… for me it made it not worth it and I built my own anyways

Shitt I just started working for geek squad as a side gig to learn more about computers and phones

Swear bro be using the scientific method to figure out what’s wrong with these pc’s

"Bought a PC" this is the problem

That is outright horrible

only good prebuilts are microcenter ones imo

A lot of fun, experience, and anxiety.

Surprised you didn't just give em a full refund in every other video you do

I wouldn’t say I had fun the whole time building my first PC. Figuring things out when you deviate from the guide feels like a fun puzzle but overall it was stressful as fuck. Would only recommend to very few people that I know. Most people (that I know) would probably be satisfied with a pre-built from a reputable company (that doesn’t glue the gpu what sacks of shit they are for doing that)

now i know why some people like to build their own pc but it comes with a price to pay that if something breaks you have to pay for it prebuild pc when something breaks the company pays for it

this why i dont buy prebuilt, had one bad experience with and say refund ill build myself. so far cable management only hard part

BRO 😭 every time you hold a pc like that my anxiety anxiety levels 📈📈📈

Never Ever buy a pre-built! i didn't know nothing about PCs but i made the decision to buy separate parts and build it myself with the help of reddit and build videos on youtube. it doesn't look as shiny and tidy but it works like a charm.

I think company glue cpu cooling directly onto the mobo should be sued and stop that bc its just greedy.

The great experience of cable management and fix POST issues 😢

My friend keeps saying he is really street smart, idk what that means lol

Id straight up sue the company that glued a cpu cooler to the cpu

And i think people thsts new to pc gaming a pre built is a good choice.. then once they understand how it all works then they have more knowledge on how to build a gaming pc when they decide to buy a new one

Building my own pc was fun to me forever to figure out, but I had fun

IDK why any reasonably handy person wouldn't build their own PC nowadays. Cases, motherboards and other components are _much_ easier to put together nowadays as compared to 20-25 years ago when I started.

Thank u so much for these vids

My first real pc was a pre built. It got a better gpu and powersupply first and when I wanted to change cpu I had to replace the mobo so I just build a custom system myself from the ground up

I agree building yourself is super easy as long as you don’t start out with the most complicated custom water cooling setup … and even that would be doable with proper research.

That's it?!? you just left us hanging like that? you could cut the glue off

Gimi that pc from last vid❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I bought some prebuilt on Amazon and I was able to change the fan and gpu

What we did when I worked at computer shop what we would is ligit use nail polish remover to remove the glue then clean it in ultrasonic bath

If you replace the GPU with a slow one it makes bottlenecks release load in cpu

I bought mine at micro center and I just upgraded it my self

Just looking at a customers computer often answers the question whats wrong with it

I'm so confused about the gpu replacement. The whole short talks about the cpu overheating. Also I have to wonder if the heat from the overheating cpu would eventually melt the glue? Or if it's possible to melt the glue with heat and solvent without causing any further damage?

The cooler was not glued, it was stuck on from dried thermal paste

Soon as I saw the msi aio on it I knew what the problem was already

I tried building my own PC . It's an exercise in frustration at best and components damaging hazard at worst. Nothing fun about it. You'd have to be a mazohist to enjoy it. But hey,to each his own I guess.

It's not glued, the thermal paste is dry. Apply heat, apply alcohol, Twist it.

Some strong glue.

Glued on CPU cooler? Wow that's a new one.

I started pc on pre build just glad it was Ibuypower bc I was able to upgrade it to a beauty

Meanwhile Laptop users *100°c is fine💀*

prebuilt PCs from big companies should be illegal

the egirl tag is sending me 😂

You guys got me to build my own pc. It was so fun! Do plan a lot though, I meant to only upgrade my graphics card but ended up building a new pc😂. All of my parts didn’t go together. The only parts I didn’t replace was the RAM CPU and SSD.

Thank God they didn't glue mines 💀

Omens good they offer instructions on how and if you call them you get step by step instructions on how to remove and install new parts

Warranty isn’t a thing everywhere.

Never heard of that. I call BS

That’s bad Business practice. Even if I wanted to keep the computer for years without upgrading. It would still need to be serviced. By reapplying thermal paste.

Best buy did the exact same with my rx 580 I bought from exact store..geek squad didn't want to fix it 😤

If my PC would come with glued CPU it would be immediately returned free of charge for being faulty i.e. glue on your motherboard or any other part where it not suppose to be is fault and you should not be paying anything to ship it back etc. So you not returning it because you changer your mind or something, but because it is faulty... and obviously depends on the state or country you are in, but most countries and states have some sort of consumer laws that protects you if you buy faulty product.

“Great experience” Me who just put $1400 into a build and come to find out my motherboard isn’t working properly 🤦‍♂️”

I want to built one for me for personal use and little gaming

No one glues a cooler / CPU in place.... No one.....

overheating CPU so you change the GPU? Nail polish can remove the glue but it can be pretty harsh not sure what it would do to a PCB should try that one day but maybe a sonic cleaner can release the CPU,

In my book glueing a cpu cooler to the motherboard is a death sentence.

Makes me scared I can’t upgrade my cyberpower pc😅😂

What happened to the customer’s PC in the end. Were you able to get the cooler off the CPU?

where's the relation between the spoken monologue, the text on the screen and the video's description?

Wow I never knew that they glued the cooler down this is wrong

who glues the cpu cooler on the cpu 💀 It's called thermal paste smh You fixed his pc thx mate hearing that triggered me like so hard

I use Noctua thermal paste, that crap is stickier than glue.

Twist it like a jar and it’ll pop right off, I remember my cpu fan got stuck to the point I was lifting the entire pc from the cooler trying to rip it off, I twisted and it popped off immediately

i bought my pc off a weird website and they havent glued anything to the mobo wtf

There is a special glue melter chemical use that.
