It's cool to see the Linus guys sponsoring creators who actually use the screwdriver

[greendblink]

Perfect series for LTT to advertise the screwdriver

[Forlong]

This AIO problem really needs more attention. At this point manufacturers should be called out on this

[hermanwooster]

This episode has it all.
- Bent CPU
- iBuyPower shoddiness
- Cute kid
- Getting PC to post w/o a cooler
- Sponsorship
- Trouble fitting RAM due to massive air cooler
- AIO gunk that quickly transformed this episode from a computer problem diagnosis to something that vaguely resembles that of a medical drama.

I absolutely love how the ram sticks bounce off their rgb lighting on the dark rock 4's fan!

[RenatoG]

It's nice to see Greg helping out smaller channels like Linus, one day they'll be as big as Greg.

[Joreel]

Seeing that bent CPU hurt my heart... I have never in 35+ years of building PCs ever seen that one. Thank you for helping this person get their system back up and running 😊

Hey Greg, I work at an independent computer repair shop in Ga & I have seen dozens of these iBuypower & Cyber power 120mm AIO coolers come in with the exact same issue. The companies need to issue a recall but we both know that won't happen, So I guess it's up to us to help people out.

The fact that you're changing your policy on not being willing to take on rigs that involve being shipped to you, just so you can help eleviate this increasing issue that no one else is talking about, shows how comendable you are. Not as not just a PC repair person, but an overal human being. People put a lot of money into their builds/pre-builds, and they shouldn't be screwed over, and you're helping fix that. Good for you.

An Unfortunate owner of two IBuyPower Pre-Builts here. Unfortunately, I can say that they all get gunked like this in about 2-3 years. This was one of the main reasons that pushed me into learning to build my own rig, and I learned a lot from you. Thank you, Greg!

[Ryan_DeWitt]

I've seen quite a few bent pens, even the tiny resistors torn off the top. First time I can recall seeing one actually bent like that.

[mikemarkong]

This series is the perfect place to put the LTT screwdriver sponsorship segment. I can see Greg fixing a TON of systems with it and maybe his house too.

[depression_daily]

Hey Greg, would you ever consider making a video on how to clean and fix these gunk issue on AIOs? I know 100% that it is a manufacturer issue and they should be held liable, but given my experience with RMA issues/delays, some people, like myself, would rather fix the issue themselves and not deal with crappy RMA processes.

[estefaniac.]

This series has made me think twice about getting an AIO for my new gaming pc that should be arriving next week. Husband has always been an "only air cooling allowed in this house" kind of person, so he would have taken lots of convincing, but watching Greg certainly saved me the effort. Thanks for the videos!

Hi Greg,

(All the way from Australia)

Wanted to thank you for letting me know about the Lian Li Galahad recall on AIO's, my Temps very hitting 90+ intermittently ( early stages minor clog i suspect) on tmy 5900x causing my machine to reboot for a little bit. It caused me to decide to drop the TDP down to 65w & even undervolt just to get by not knowing what had changed (also being not able to replace it financially at the time).

Fast forward i sent a quick email to LianLi a week & a half ago, confirmed its within the date range of that potentially faulty units & after a few short emails had my new one on its way (direct from factory) which was very interesting. Just received my new one yesterday the process was so easy! Thanks again will be installing the new one & raising my TDP back up to what it should be!!

[SmithBeatZ]

Your genuine passion for helping others is what makes you and this series so great. I have a computer business as well and always try to go the extra mile to help others. Love this series.

[richdemars]

Your proactive help on these AIO issues is very admirable, great work and congrats on such a great video series.

[carlwillows]

You have a kind heart Greg. Happy to see you are helping so many out with their PC issues. Great focus on these problematic aio's.

[chubbysumo]

This happened with my old EVGA hybrid cooler too, I think it's a particular water source is that one of the manufacturing companies is using.

[ImranOO]

That’s why I always thought AIOs would eventually kick the bucket and after a lot of researching last year, I chose the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for my i7 12700 and really happy with the temps
