it's build time I have the parts I have a box them and now it is time to begin
my journey towards not so much twitch streaming fandom fame there's a word in
there that I want but can't think of it cuz it's warm in this room I don't know
it's gonna make me something and we're gonna get started I'm very excited let's
do this I'm just about to get started and I'm getting ready to put in the CPU
I noticed that there is a little bit a thermal paste right here already on
what's a brand-new motherboard which I find fascinating and I can't tell from
having a belated case of the Mondays and accidentally smeared it on there or what
in any case this is quite the mystery to me doesn't harm anything but I'll be
wondering about this for the rest of the build
so this isn't my first rising build but I still want to throw a shout-out to AMD
because I really love this lever and latch system so the other latches right
there there's one right here and there's a
little lever that secures it all and it's just it's really elegant it's easy
well relatively easy to get on relatively easy to get off far superior
to Intel stock cooler which has that weird post and lock into the motherboard
good luck trying to remove it without breaking anything system okay I am done
putting in the CPU the RAM and the m2 Drive one thing I want to say about this
motherboard is that I super dig having four dimm slots I don't often see that
on a micro ATX board and it's a nice feature to have
so this is pretty cool check this out NZXT includes all of the screws and
separate packages that are labeled I really dig this you know along with your
zip ties and everything it's really a tiny little package yeah so guess who
just tried to put it in the power supply modular power supply without connecting
any of the necessary cables first yep that would be me
let's not tell Gordon about this one cuz I feel like there's gonna be a big fat I
told you so in there somewhere
alright I'm finally done doesn't really have too much to say about the build
overall definitely having a case of the Mondays because as I was putting this
all together definitely several moments where I
decided or realized rather though what I was doing was not in the right order for
doing things efficiently so how to pull things out put things back together so
on so forth the the cable management didn't really
pay a lot of attention to it this time and one thing I do kind of wish I had
sprung for our custom cables because this right here I'm not a big fan of
anyway I'll just have to live with it whoo I am finally done after a lot of
stupid mistakes just really I didn't think out certain things and you can see
me go hmm no better redo that anyway I am done with having a case of
the Mondays on a Monday and I can now move on to the next step which is
putting an operating system on this beautiful thing I really do love this
purple white scheme okay I'm finally done well I'm done putting
on the operating system and some benchmarks and running all of that
really briefly but oh boy was it a journey getting there because I
have story for you so when I put together the parts list about what over
a month ago I specifically told myself hey you're gonna be dropping a second
gen rise in part into that motherboard it's probably going to need a BIOS
update don't forget to update the board before you build well guess who didn't
leave herself a note and built the whole system and then had a terrier back down
so that she could flash the motherboard cuz it wasn't posting if you guess me
you'd be correct ah in any case right now I I have a system
that's up and running and smells a lot a lot like thermal paste remover in fact
it was so bad that Gordon asked me what orange thing I was eating in the lab
yeah good times everybody in any case I'm finally done with this
part and I'm looking forward to putting on OBS or xsplit or well I don't know
it's gonna be part of the journey I'm gonna figure out what's happening next
so stay tuned for that and I'll catch you soon I will catch you all soon
she's gonna do it anyway
