Never knew a thing about building a PC until this week. Watched your tutorials and was able to build a beast PC in a few hours. I am now a total computer nerd and am hooked on watching your build videos!

A very minor recommendation for DDR5 builders is that I wouldn't enable xmp UNTIL Windows is properly installed. It isn't a big issue with DDR4 but I've seen some instability with DDR5 even if the kit is rated at that speed on their website. It can be even more finicky if you're populating all 4 dim slots on your board. It is technically still an "overclock" at the end of the day and you'd want to remove any potential reasons that could cause hiccups during the installation process.

just finished up my 1st PC build last night. Your videos were a huge part of every aspect of my build. Great job, keep it up bud!!

Note, don't use 4x8gb, use 2x 16gb for ram

Being a first time builder of a gaming/streaming/video editing pc this was incredibly useful! 🎉 I have to slow it down a bit to keep up but this was incredibly helpful. Much love my friend and keep up the great videos. ❤

Best boot video I've seen. Currently building a computer so Ill revisit this video in time. Thanks!

Never enable full speed of the ram until you update the bios you always want a stable bios running until everything is up to date to avoid crashing

I don't have a full pc setup yet, but this video really helped me for when I actually get a full setup

Ive gotten all kinds of advice on how to install Windows 11 on my new gaming PC from programers and network engineers but this was simple and streight forward from the first turn on to system monitoring. You cleared up a lot of my questions

Great video, but I personally had the problem that turning on the XMP profile for the ram before even installing windows completely messed up the bios and it started to freeze and windows installation went into a direct blue screen, also changing back didn't save. Resetting the bios and leaving the ram on lower MHz for now fixed the problem. Found this to be the reason since several people on the Internet experienced that before.

Just built my first PC last night and I thought everything was setup correctly but there was no display, the pc turned on and the fans were spinning, RGB ram was lit up but the only thing I didint do was connect the mouse and key board as I didint think I’d need to press delete button a bunch of times, gonna try later tonight and hopefully that’s all it needs 😅 if so your a life saver as I’ve watched many other videos on why it won’t display and nobody mentioned you might have to press delete button a bunch of times.
