So I've built one of those PCs with my trusty hammer. What games do I play now /v ?

The Last of Us

Red Dead Redemption

ebin xD

Hey let me fix that up for you buddy.

Oh shit, I didn't use a hammer when I built my PC, how fucked am I?

Took me a while to make things fit.

Ace combat, no really ace combat

what is this hairstyle called?

...

>PC
>games
PC is for upgrading video card once a year and counting pixels and frames not for playing games.

Just hick my shit up family

'Fag'
'Hipster'
May actually be called a 'mullet'

...

Is that guy having a seizure?

nice rec thread

What the fuck is this from? Is this one of those "I'm purposely fucking things up for laughs" video?

Stop.

4k multiplats. if you want exclusives you get rts arpg and moba

What is he installing and why does he need wire cutters for the job?

Whitesnake... Accually that may be true

fite me

retard here, is that part important?

Literally nothing wrong with removing that bit. All it does is hold the card in place on most motherboards. You'll notice that there are no contacts on it.

>lightbulb
>transistors the size of D batteries
And that's ignoring the elephant in that particular room.

Do you need people to hold your hand when you take a shit too?

this looks really fun to use

No

Man im so glad that didnt happen to me lol

who the f

No, there are no gold contacts on it (see the little strips of gold on the section to the left) so it's just a little bit of plastic or silicon or whatever.

He is clearly cannibalizing that light bulb power supply for parts. He looks like a guy who knows how to do some wire maintenance.

I knew a kid with that hair cut in the 4th grade, he might of been autistic because when he'd get upset he'd pretend to be pikachu. One time, some kids decided to lock him in a coat closet and not let him out - some of the girls felt bad and told the teacher (the teacher would , a few years later be found participating in a circle jerk with college kids by the police) Anyways the teacher got the kid out of the closet and scolded him - not the other kids - and he didn't get any recess that week. I'm sure he killed himself when he got older, not that I've heard about him since God rest his soul.

What the fuck is he even trying to do? What is he soldering?

"gay"

Dumb question: I've tried to solder simple wiring before and had a similar experience with it balling up and getting away from me. What were they doing wrong in that particular area?

>now I'll just these wire cutters to plug the power cables into the printer port and...

>letting your CPU cooler touch the contacts on your GPU
He deserved it

Is this some kind of joke?

...

lol fucking linus

>he might of been
>might of

Don't apply solder directly to the tip. Use solder with flux in it or apply as much flux as you need to make it flow nicely. You'll need more or less depending on what you're trying to solder.

I've never soldered wire before, but aren't you supposed to make sure the solder is contacting the surface you want to solder before heating it?

Soldering a board is not the same thing as soldering metal to metal.

*have
Also, he was already balding on the top of his head. Always felt kind of bad for the kid, but I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh at the time and I didn't want them going after me, so I kept my distance while the others would go after the balding, possibly autistic child who would pretend to be pikachu if was teased. I think the teacher is in a place in the city council still.

That's...actually not a good idea. I kept a litter of kittens in a (large) closet once that happened to have some ancient PCs in the back. One got into them and somehow managed to slice the skin off the top of his nose. It took forever to grow back and he still has a scar.

You're only heating up pads now instead of the paired metal. And you still can use flux as you need to make sure it flows nicely on the traces.

Look closely at where the smoke starts coming from. And yes it was a nvidia driver issue. Tho every pc hardware site did not report it at the time because they're all nvidia fanboys.

I would NEVER let my pets play around in those old cases like that. Those things have sharp edges all around and even humans can get cuts easily from those shitty cases.

You don't use flux on a circuit board, user.

Not at all. It's entire purpose is to help hold the card in place but that's not a huge issue if you screw it down like you should.

wrong

You can and should use flux on everything you solder

It doesn't hurt anything and only makes your life easier

What do you mean "wrong"? You care to add something else to that statement?

>

If your boards contain high-impedance analog circuits, then the conductivity of the flux is a real concern. Leakage current through flux is a common source of error in high-gain high-impedance analog circuits.
>For other types of circuits, reliability is a bigger concern. Fluxes are reactive chemicals, and if left on the board they can cause corrosion and lead to circuit failures in the field. There are "no clean" fluxes that are meant to minimize this issue, but even these might not be appropriate for high-value circuits with high reliability requirements.
>Even the gentlest flux is an acid that can become active under certain conditions. I'd like to add that this doesn't apply solely to high-impedance analog circuits.

>flux doesn't hurt circuitry

Flux helps pull solder through the other side for through hole components. Should def be used

you never had to solder on the heat sink to your CPU?

There's a completely different process that used involving a bath when the board are in production but for the laymen, especially plebes like yourself, never use flux on your damn circuitry. That is all.

Solder has flux in it already. There's no need to add flux unless you're a fucking idiot.
Or you're using commie no lead solder. In which case you're a huge fucking idiot.

The sawing off the PCIE lock on the 980 is from LinusTechTips. He was building a budget PC using old server hardware.

It really doesn't hurt anything.

I actually stopped watching before the end but yeah. The latch nub or whatever it's called isn't really necessary.

thisYou melt the tip of the solder into the surface. Also don't hold the iron too tightly, just firmly grasp it.

He said games not movies or overrated open world crap, sonyggers.

>inb4 you haven't played RDR
Beat that shit on 360, nothin' personnel, kid.

If that happened to me I would instantly buy a console.

Assuming you still have money to buy one.

I didn't bother with multiplats or games that I don't like so you will have to do your own research anyways

...

What time will be the best to build a PC?
There is a lot of stuff happening right now with new graphic cards so I don't know if I should wait or what.

Only plumbers flux hurts PCBs. Honestly it's probably okay to use it, but it's usually overkill because most of the solder worth using already has flux in it.

those are caps family.
