i'm ready you guys might want to grab
some popcorn it's probably going to be a
little while because i don't know what
the i'm doing i have built two
computers in my lifetime and this will
be the third so nzxt has sponsored this
short circuit uh by sending over their
nzxt build kit and
they are going to prove to us that
building a pc for the first time can
actually be easy
i guess let's get to unboxing
um i might need a knife or something to
help me get in to this
[Music]
i played softball for eight years that's
embarrassing is this supposed to help me
unbox this
jono i don't understand
i i can go to the gym
i mean to be fair how do you open a box
with this i don't understand
is this what everybody uses on short
circuit to open things what the crap is
this what is this
so if you are a first-time builder uh i
guess not like me but similarly to me or
an experienced builder at that
um
this is perfect for you so first things
first
it looks like we have
a checklist
so this shows us
all of the steps uh
based on levels which is actually quite
a fun concept and then
we've got our
adventurers map i will give credits to
the graphic designers at nzxt the
website and the illustrations on here
are absolutely beautiful everything is
also labeled accordingly which is so
nice see hey motherboard we've got our
beautiful hard to come by
3060ti graphics card c650 psu the kraken
m22
millimeter
is it millimeter milliliter mm
millimeter um i've never actually
installed the liquid cooler before so
i'm excited to see how this works we've
got some parts
actually we can reference our list here
and see what parts are in here so we got
b
which is the eight gigabyte ram sticks
we've got c which is the cpu
we've got d
which is the ssd and then we have i
which is the wi-fi card then we've got
this beautiful
kit of all of our tools
i'm really excited
all right so let's get started
our checklist oh i need a marker i gotta
make sure i'm doing all of this properly
and as intended even these illustrations
inside kind of help tell a story while
you're immersed in the building the
computer building experience so one
thing that i find super awesome is not
only do they have the instruction manual
accessible online as well but they also
have qr codes so that you can access
walkthrough videos if you still don't
understand the written note instructions
all right level one let's do this
installing the memory
so
it looks like i'm gonna need a and b the
motherboard and the ram sticks and
i'm also
going to open my tools kit
no but i want to see what's inside
we've got some zip ties
phillips zero screw head
no it doesn't it's a it's a twisty thing
it is an attachment but i just don't
know what this this type of attachment
is called a wrench
i guess i have to be gentle
i said this last time
okay
oh
so we have 16 gigabytes of memory and
they are 3 200 gigahertz no giga
mega transfers oh my gosh okay
all right
i got a click from both sides
i leveled up
i have here the amd ryzen 5600x take
care on this step i'm glad that they
show the importance of being gentle with
different components locate the cpu
socket which we have here
they include photos of both one for amd
and one for intel cpu so that no matter
which motherboard you have
you can reference the images without
fail without any issues
i'm scared i've seen linus do this many
times
look at that it's in
and now i close the socket
so
if i reference the illustration you can
see they've got this black part here and
i'm assuming that's this part of the ssd
that i have
which means that it would be inserted
this way up so it doesn't seem like
the screwdriver is magnetic
which is a little bit of a downside in
the instruction manual it looks like
it shows that we could potentially have
an aio cooler or an air cooler with the
streaming pc you get an aio cooler which
is what i have here but with their
regular standard pc you get an air
cooler they should probably include like
a small illustration of the screws
rather than me having to
go back to the manual that came with the
water cooler to figure this out all
right so we are moving the build into
the pc case i guess it's time to unbox
this
this is the h510
nzxt case it's so pretty i just love how
simple and clean this case is and my
instructions
you know it could probably knock
somebody out
and then you can give them infinite
paper cuts
[Laughter]
time to install the motherboard
we are on to level level five and we are
moving these components into the
computer just like the instructions say
we are on level six and this part is
relocating the fans let's see how we do
this
no i don't i'm hoping that this
instruction manual will show me
it even shows you exactly where you'll
find the zip ties so i'm not like
wasting time looking for things
i always just look at the illustrations
but
there are there okay there's words there
for reassurance
i'm gonna do my best guessing because
this
piece right here actually doesn't match
the illustration that i'm seeing on here
quite exactly with that being said
if this is the correct orientation i can
refer back to this photo or illustration
here which shows this part
which means i am to place it
this way
i think it does go this way
does it
oh i got it right okay
and and where's the bananas i need a
banana
wow
ltdstar.com
should we measure the fans
so it looks like it's about a seven inch
fan hi
i wish you could help me
like i wish i had a partner in crime
here but i'm really just doing this on
my own
uh okay i'm screwing things now
so i have screwed in the fans to the fan
bracket and then reattached that to the
case and we're on to the next step power
supply
it's this is like a ton of mini inbox
unboxings in one big unboxing the
non-modular looks like it comes with a
pre-attached cable the semi-modular also
looks like it comes with a pre-attached
cable
and then the modular which we have here
does not come with any cables attached
and we've got this uh beautiful nzx
teabag that
you could also reuse if you wanted it it
could work as like a makeup bag or
something
yeah this is great can you fit a banana
inside of the bag
yes if you have exactly eight inch
bananas you can put them in the bag
quit measuring the bananas sarah
plug in the cable labeled either pcie or
vga
pcie here we go i've plugged in all of
my cables
that the instructions have told me to
plug in and i will be
now putting it into my computer case so
level eight is for cable management now
for the sake of this short circuit
actually being short we're gonna skip
this step but for people who are
building their first computer uh it does
show quite detailed instructions as to
how to do this uh so with the power of
movie magic all the cables have been
plugged in the instructions are super
clear and easy and how to do that so
we're on to the next step so following
instructions i will now attempt to
install a water cooler for the very
first time in my entire life
the cables go towards the ram
so
therefore the cables go towards the rim
and then i just have to screw it in
so i'll put the washers back and then
screw it all together and then we'll
come back to this okay i see this this
part is here right it's supposed to go
this way correct
but this okay
now this is not my fault this is not my
fault nzxt this is your fault this is
your responsibility the logo here right
here facing this way that's how i have
attached the fan is with the logo facing
upwards
fix it fix it
[Laughter]
so now the cpu cooler is in and all of
the cables are plugged in
we're ready for the next step the prized
possession
the holy grail
the gpu
okay wait wait wait wait wait
there we go
now we just slide it out
see i've got this
finishing touches all right
we're almost there no you should never
close your case before you turn it on oh
really
okay but we gotta listen to the
instructions david so
it's time to put
the side panels back on to the case
yeah so this is my own error it actually
does mention to push this little flappy
bit back but i didn't do that so now
it's inside you know
i'm confident and then i'm not confident
there's always that uncertainty of one
cable not being plugged in properly or
even a ram stick not being seated
properly and it's bound to happen uh but
i'm really hoping that by following all
of these instructions
properly that i won't have any issues
from this way
does this mean it works
i did it
my third computer build was a success
this made the building experience so
easy
other than a few little things here and
there overall
as a third pc build for it to work right
away
i'd say it was a success thanks to nzxt
