this is why i moved to laptop...

Amen molex is f$cking garbage!

Maybe it thinks it's an Apple device?

Been working on computers for 30 years. Never had a molex short by touching anything. Just a quick zip/twist tie and hide it. Never clip a wire. Any condensation or dust could link a cut wire since you are now talking like a 1mm connection distance instead of a greater distance. If you do clip it, always glue or tape the end wire, never leave bare.

@@kraegor1977 It's not likely, but it could happen. Do you see some of the component leads protruding on the bottom side of the graphics board? I see some that could conceivably short to the Molex connector. Molex connectors are also badly outdated. Used on computers dates back to at least the AT computers. In general electronics much further back than that.

Well Done mate!!

like RAM you have isn't on the QVL from MOBO vendor??? cuz my RAM isn't on my MOBO qvl and has been at 3600 cl 14 since I bought them lol

@@deminybs I've been having exact same issues as his customer was... Pc froze on me and two red lights started blinking... I checked the mobo manual and it has something to do with the ram, but want 100% sure until now

Byzkit usually is. I have a X99 system with the same issue.

that's why when i just built my new PC i made sure that the memory i bought was on that list of support ram.

I would say, instead of sharing 'Your toolkit', you would do better creating the video you mentioned Saying what you use and why you use it, but then providing links to the websites where viewers can download directly While at the time of releasing the video, Its likely any package you put together will be up to date, any viewers who find this video later down the line may end up with out of date software, Giving links to the software websites ensures your viewers are getting the most up to date version. For Example, Most Tech folks will have a set of Graphics Drivers in their toolkit, These can at times be updated weekly, and therefore any 'packaged up' sets will get old real quick!

I would love to know about your toolkit! I do fix computers on the side and have a small toolkit of my own, but I'm always looking for more, and I like the looks of the things that you have in yours! Can't wait to see that video.😀

I think Hiren's Boot will cover almost everything you need.

YES! all us closet geeks want a peek at your batman utility drive!

@@guily6669 And yet it hasn't been updated in over 2 years.

Always something new to learn that we don't always think about :)

and he actually fixes stuff, not just say," oh its the motherboard " or "its the cpu" blah blar blar blah and replaces it... most people watching are prolly looking for a way to fix their pc without replacing hundreds of dollars worth of components lol. this, hands down is the best actual Tech channel on utube imo

Fuck you Jared

ya i watch a lot of tech vids and im confused about temperature ....... when i worked at a shop in the early 2000s nominal temps for cpus were roughly 30 - 40 degrees Celsius......when he said 76C was "a little high" my jaw dropped......i wanna say modern cpus run a little hotter now? from watching computer vids when the temps are shown, theyre all running pretty hot to me

These videos remind me of the old KZfaq, I really like that.

how do i check the speed? my pc has been crashing really bad lately and i have no clue abouts computers

I was thinking the same thing

I hate rockstar juice

&Flam3z Clan good for you

Dude, it's a 1050ti. What do you expect?

@@barrybena1336 I've played it on far far less. Machine never locks up.

hey kid and dad suff

this is hilarious. My 2nd time here and I subscribed

Consider yourself lucky, he's got me hooked on rgb.

@@DaleDix yeah soo. I have 4 RGB fans. RGB memory and RGB liquid pump... Probably Adams fault as well 😂

@@torsson2 You guys care for RGB ?

@@CharlieQ7400 it looks nice. Depends where the PC is located of course.

@@torsson2 My 3 PC's all have RGB fans, RGB Lighting strips. Ryzen has 10 RGB fans. Xeon has 7 RGB fans and RGB on the front of the case.. Opteron has 5 RGB fans and RGB on the front of the case.

in addition, my ocd on lobbing off the molex fan connector. we dont see covering the now semi-exposed wires that are just shoved in between the fan and case. better off tapeing or zip tie the molex up out of site.

lmao :D

Great video, i would strongly suggest to always check QVL for new builds, it can prevent a lot of issues, especially with XMP enabled.

If he was a professional he would've called the owner to inform him

@@Straiferdt01 But he is a professional. Everyone makes mistakes.

Thinking im gonna go chop off all my molex fans now to see if that improves performance.

Yeah in no world should have ever cut that off. There are plenty of other solutions.

@@r100curtaincall I prob would of put some heatshink around it and secured it with small zip tie or something, Permanent damage/modifications to components are not good. plus if the cut is not entirely clean you may have a small bit of exposed copper at the end of the cable which could be pushed up against case body or components that are pointy in shape.

Thousands? One a day for at least 6 years straight?

@@calvitocalvon1711 lol one a day? I wish. More like 2-5 per day for 12 years. Multiple benches, multiple repairs.

@@DJ-Daz jeez tons of experience, tell me some anecdotes!

@@calvitocalvon1711 The longest repair was because it would lock-up after 2-4 hours. Before that it was fine. It took nearly a week to fix due to the length of time between lock-ups. It was the soundcard in the end. We had a batch (bloody hundreds of the buggers) of Maxtor HDD's (40GB) that had dodgy firmware and would corrupt the fat. Updating the firmware worked but the number of returns was huge. I've NEVER bought a Maxtor HDD because of it. Strangely it took weeks to months before the fat was destroyed. I spoke to a guy and removed 2 pins from a phone cable (RJ11) because it would cause all the phones to ring as soon as it was plugged in. I promised him it would work fine now. He was polite and insisted he just wanted the cable to work, then just before he left he gave me a business card... He was also called Darren and worked at the regional Trading Standards office. He called me back the next day and said it worked and thanked me again. I once had to go to court over a laptop that wouldn't run a TV repair database (worth hundreds), the owner was told several times this cheap-ass laptop would struggle with it and even the company that made the DB software told him it wouldn't work. We called them too. He wanted a refund. He got a refund and compensation to buy a better machine! I have never, and I mean NEVER heard of anyone ever using the CDROM tray as cup holder. There's a lot more I'm sure, but it was nigh on 15 years ago.

@@DJ-Daz hahahahahah this was amazing to read ! Id love to hear more add me on discord Calvo#4120 oh man

💯

He did a video a three years ago where he does a routine service on a well-used (older) PC and attempts to tune up an old PC by using diagnostic software on his USB stick as well as going though windows settings to clean up the bit-rot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLp9obeaqtXTo4U.html

yes u can

Google the software and download them.

@@ZeroLifts277 not what was meant

@@RWL2012 sorry my bad

@Green Eyed Bali Bule gimme link

a single addres error in memory don't crash single application but freeze windows, i have that problem with one of my ram stick :(

I have had unstable cpu configurations causing crashes in single applications, quite often actually. Games like ac: origins and Warhammer 2 for example, after giving the cpu a little bit more voltage it was fixed (happened to me on both Intel and AMD). It is tricky though because they tend to be seemingly random crashes and not replicable with common testing/benchmarking software. It took me quite a while to figure out what was the cause.

Especially with large air coolers...

It's a hecking mess right now, filled with loads of random stuff I don't use anymore... but I think a good tidy up is in order. I'll stick it on my video ideas list!

@@Adamant_IT btw, u can see how far it got in the Titlebar of Intelburntest.. 23/100 30:00 (when its running)

It was already on the latest bios.

I had the same problem even on X470 with Zen+.

Maybe they extra? Lol i have no idea either

Yeah, came with the case. I did the same thing, just so my drive has that extra bit of cooling because they get pretty toasty.

many cases have mounts for fan(s) there. They obviously can't move air directly from outside but idea is that since lowest fan on front side push air under shroud these fans will move that air up to graphics card and/or (depend of card length) chipset, ram or disks.

Valid observation but a false conclusion. Not having the proper .NET Framework would even just bring you to the dependency screen he got. It's the "magic" of Microsoft's "compatibility" lol! If you need a .NET Framework it's supposed to be checked for by the games you install that have .NET dependencies. It won't crash a game without it but it will keep a game from even executing.

Yeah, I have had an issue where for some reason I couldn't save the right voltage, it always defaulted to 1.20, very annoying and a lot of restarts and power cycling. In the end some how it did save 1.35. Anyway, I did some research about this particular board and RAM problems, and a common solution for XMP problems seemed to be giving it a little bit more voltage. I didn't need it in the end, so I am not sure it works.

@@TobyIKanoby XMP is better disabled if you're running into issues. A lot of games like red dead redemption 2 on PC and applications that are memory hungry dont play well with XMP

@@spakentruth I don't have issues with XMP, my motherboard had because it didn't want to save the right voltage in the BIOS, for some reason it eventually did and everything works just fine now. Do you have any references for "a lot of games" having issues with XMP? Because that sounds like BS to me, at least in the way I buy games, 1 or 2 years after release, when they have a reasonable price and the game is actually finished and optimized.

@@spakentruth That's a symptom of the RAM being unstable. It may be due to Vdroop for the VDIMM.

No. And if you think (really) about it: it's not worth talking about.

Not everyone is loaded. Probably plays fortnite and minecraft.

Seriously? Aside from the hack sawed exhaust fan it looks pretty clean to me compared to the absolute gems I've seen lol I've seen people mounting their liquid cooler radiator on the _outside_ of their case! xD

Yes Fortnite closes a lot

huh?

Hell, I'm 72, have built a dozen PCs and I am still learning

Contamination on a connector? What does that involve? A 100 year old computer in a post-nuclear war? Ugh, you people!
