Just a heads-up: I feel like folks are missing the part where I mention that this build is almost entirely _brand new,_ save the case: 0:19. No, Origin did NOT ship this system with an incompatible BIOS. The system that was originally in here was removed :-)
@WayStedYou 2 жыл бұрын
You would've 100% ripped into them if they had shipped a new build with wrong bios because that would mean zero testing before the sale. I thought it was fairly clearly a used case

The amazon return policy for computer components and other "tech" products is - 30 days - not the 14 days that you incorrectly stated in this video. Amazon shows the - return window - date for each and every product on the amazon orders page, which eliminates any doubt about the 30 day return policy.

You're right but does that take time,even in a large case,you have to be so careful with hands,every motion has to be controlled like a monk! You can very easily slip with a simple screwdriver and possibly damage something,and worse when the things flat on the table! The smaller case makes it difficult. Plus I suggest wearing a head light to see in the dark areas of any case🕯️😌

BIOS flashback should really be a staple in all modern boards. recently just built a 5600g system myself and the A520 ITX board I got had it - i was prepared to swap CPU's as I had a system with a 3700x when i bought it, but BIOS flashback saved all that effort. Wasn't even an expensive board. It was $100 - which is cheap for ITX's.
@buddybleeyes 2 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I've legit recommended bios flashback to all of my friends. It saved my ass when msi dragon Centre corrupted my bios when I accidentally clicked on the advanced updater (updates bios from inside dragon centre). Since then I think they've fixed it from auto downloading and installing, was still scary since I was my first proper pc build, and didn't realise what advanced update meant.

Actually, if you think about it, it's not a simple fix considering he had to use an older generation cpu and a gpu in order to update the bios. It's the reason the builder had to have Greg fix it, he probably didn't have an older cpu and gpu to do so.

Greg, a shout out and big thanks from the senior (age-wise) PC community: I have loved working with PC hardware (building, troubleshooting and upgrading) since the early 1990s. Like you, I prefer not to deal with software issues (though I have had to many times). Unlike you, I haven't been a gamer since 2d side scrollers were the thing, but I still appreciate gaming hardware for its complexity and innovation. Loving to solve hardware-related puzzles, I really appreciate this series and add my vote to keep it going. I really like it that you admit when you are not familiar with something or mess up as I have spent a lot of time doing trying to hide it when I have! I watch a lot of PC tech channels and appreciate the knowledge and skill of all of you "youngsters" and still learn a lot. I really haven't done much building since my (ancient) 4790K, so I depend on folks like you to help keep me up-to-date with current components that I, unfortunately, do not get to use. Thanks so much for doing these! I can't wait for more.
