How does Computer Hardware Work? 💻🛠🔬 [3D Animated Teardown]

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to journey through the inside of your computer? In this video, we're taking you on a 3D animated adventure to every piece of computer hardware inside a desktop computer. You'll also see a nanoscopic view of the transistors inside the CPU and GPU. This video is like a biology dissection lab; instead, we're opening up a computer and seeing all the various computer hardware inside.

If you could pick us to do deep dive into just one of the topics mentioned in the video, which would it be? Of course, we would love to make all these videos right away, but it takes us a ton of time for each video, so tell us your favorite.   Either that or rank the topics we should pursue.  Honestly, this will help us to choose which topic to do next.

This is what YouTube is all about. A group of people spending hundreds of hours researching something complex, and then dumbing it down with cool animations for the world to see. You guys have my full support!

[WeldonWen]

Feel like a single thank isn't enough. The animation, the information, we need more of this!

[alanlacosse]

Grateful to be alive during a time where information like this is so accessible and easy to digest

[Nightweaver]

Really one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's almost magic that all of this can be made as tiny as it is and that it all works together so accurately and quickly. Computers are one of those items that only a few tenths of a percent of our population will ever know how they truly work, down to the atomic scale.

As a 3d artist, the amount of work that went into this is mindblowing. You guys are educating generations of people with highest quality. I wish my classrooms were this good as a kid.

[HamedKhania]

After 20 Years of working with computers, I can say this video is 1, 000, 000% awesome.

[anishpadhi]

I work in the semiconductor industry myself, and I can't yet fathom how incredible a task you have achieved. Absolutely mind-boggling work folks.

To explain the whole complex system in such an easy way with pitch-perfect animations, simply incredible work guys.

[pyro-]

The most professional animation about computer hardware I've seen

[TheSektorz]

Insane effort - huge props to your 3d modeling and animation people!

[theReimy]

This is one of the most underrated youtube channels I know of. Awesome graphics, sounds and explanation!

[jacksonzenisek]

This is the most in-depth tutorial of PC hardware I have ever seen. The amount of work in this video is breathtaking. I honestly learned more watching this video than I did in my PC hardware class in college.

[ytiwpqp]

It was one of the best videos I have ever seen on YouTube, about the working of a computer.

[Cokoladni]

This is a fantastic level of detail. Hats off to the animators.

[happyaerer]

This is insane. I don't understand how humans figured out how to make this stuff. And the amount of work and effort put into this video is amazing. Super high quality and really interesting.

[r_mclovin]

For real now, this is one of the best videos ever made.

Covering a complex topic in such detail and presenting it with these amazing high quality animations and easily understandable explanations for normal people to learn about how the very device works they're watching that video on, that is just unbelievable. And doing all of this even *for free* so everyone with internet can watch this makes it a tremendous contribution to the education of the whole world. Because of you, young people will be introduced to the interior of computers the way older generations wish they were.

To me, that makes it one of the best and most important videos ever. Heck, your whole channel is a pure gold mine, I can't thank you enough for your hard work. You are heroes!

[cristianvaleriutoma]

When I was student (20 yrs ago), we just imagined in our head how these things were working, now the "kids" have access to amazing explanation videos. Amazing work - keep going!

[TarasBuria]

I cannot even imagine how much skill, time, and effort videos like this require. Absolutely incredible!

[thedemon_mk]

hands down the most detail oriented channel on this off guys

[qbanz]

1:43 …this video is top notch …seamless & immaculate in presentation. I had an audible gasp when I saw that transition
