Hey, everyone! There always seems to be something a few folks find wrong with the build even after we've fixed the primary issue. In this case, his top fans were set to intake. I'd normally swap these around, but he'd end up with more exhaust fans than intakes = negative internal case pressure = dust influx from PCIe slot cover area (ask me how I know). The top of this case has a dust filter as well, so I left things as is. And the "heat rises so that's inefficient" argument goes out the window the moment you introduce any sort of active cooling component. Hope this clears it up. Not the end of the world either way, but not something I was willing to change in the moment 👍

I own a computer repair business, and come home to watch Greg fix computers. wtf is wrong with me.

I know at some point I’ll have to troubleshoot something and I appreciate this series teaching us how to deal with odd issues. Even just working through a problem can make you better at dealing with new issues. Great series!

[GreenG]

the fix or flop videos are really exciting and informative. I really appreciate your work here, it has helped me alot.

[AlphaBeanTTV]

Yes! It’s like watching a good mystery show, always trying to guess what could be causing the problem. Thanks for the informative and entertaining content Greg!

[dallasb]

Nice of you to be able to help this guy out. Good series Greg.

I've become so attached to this series that hearing "This here is another viewer's...BROKEN gaming PC" is like hearing the intro to a beloved TV show.

Things I've learned in your channel lately since watching the series. When there's no display output, one of the many things could be the problem... A) It could be the bios, which is not updated to properly work with the current cpu and gpu. B) Ram may not have been put in properly. C) Could be the power supply. D) CPU socket/issue and whatnot. E) The GPU itself. F) And finally the motherboard itself. I think I'm getting better at diagnosing the problem and all thanks to this wonderful channel :)

Greg I just wanted to thank you for the awesome and wholesome content you put out. You help out so many people with information, not to mention the persons systems that you diagnose, fix, upgrade and clean. I've learned a ton from watching you, I built my first PC back in 2019 and did a piss poor job of cable managing the entire rig. Today I found the motivation to deep clean and reroute my whole build with confidence, thanks to you and your videos ( Wish I took pics to tweet at you ) but totally was an afterthought haha.. Keep on doing what you do Greg, will always appreciate your content. Hope you can get your Million Subscribers milestone by 2023!

It's good to note that PC Part Picker will notify you if there are potential bios complications. Good stuff Greg, I was wondering how easy it was to rectify this problem, I actually went with a 10600k, mostly because this issue kept showing up with the parts I wanted to get in an AMD build.

[HellBoy]

I love this series it’s super cool seeing all of these pcs getting troubleshooted and fixed keep it up man!

[edwardcarterr]

Always a great watch! I learn so much from your videos and this series has taught me so much about troubleshooting! I am now my friends go to when they are having issues haha.

[DJReflect]

Having a great time following this series Greg. Thanks for the great content. I have an LED strip in my case that is one color off from the rest of the build after calibration in software but all connections seem to be connected correctly. Strange. Hoping one day you cover this so I can glean some how to from you. Cheers!

I admit that I am totally addicted to the Fix or Flop series. Having watched every episode, I have picked up a number of tips for troubleshooting PCs. Great work as always Greg!

[rockybaldovi]

Love these videos so much that I’ve been using you as a reference when fixing a bunch of friend’s PCs! Keep up the great work, i always look foward to your reviews, PCDC, and fix or flops

[eugenejones]

Greg it's definitely nice seeing you troubleshoot helping the rest of us with future probs. Also, not all heroes wear capes and you definitely save that person's build.

[frankpatterson]

You make it all seem so easy. Love the education offered in these. Another solid video 😁👍

[drakepotatoe]

Hi Greg this inspired me to open my little own PC fix/deep cleaning service in Louisiana I appreciate u for all the help

[dazextralarge]

Well done, Greg! What a beautiful PC finally ready to go.

I would love it if you would place the viewers hardware piece by piece in the description. I love some of these builds and how clean and modern they look.

I would love to do a mockup for my room.
