I could watch an entire series of cute girls building PCs for the first time. Very funny and entertaining. I really don't wish stress upon anyone, but Linus' reactions were priceless.
Linus Interrogation at CIA headquaters.. Agent: Tell us what you know or we will shake this motherboard so hard the ram will rip itself from the slots Linus: aaaaaaaaah nooooo ......wakes up from Nightmare😅
24:50 should have said 97%
I disagree 100%. Building a PC is good if you know what your doing, bad if you don't.
I think Sarah did any awesome job! 👍👍
15:10 linus: "what you need is a lifeline" linus being a lifeline: "you know this isn't the hardest part right?". epic help bro 💯
i haven't ever built a pc cuz im broke but after watching so much linus tech tips it hurts watching this
She says my case is ugly _sad_ "Actually, that's not that bad" _happy_
Get your wife and make her slam Sarah with a slipper.
You could have heard a pin drop as Agent Sarah walked into the room. The PC components all pretended to be interested in something else as to not draw her attention, while candidly hoping they wouldn't be the target of her 'affection.' The GPU sighed secretly in relief as he noticed her raptor-like eyes scan the room and come to rest assuredly on the Pro-cessing Unit. A small wimper was heard coming from Ryzen, as Sarah's hand slowly reached out to him with pin-point (get it?) precision. But everyone knows that Agent Sarah is an inexhaustible mistress to have when so many offerings are on the block. Some claim that they can still hear Strix's last death knell to this day.
Linus Magic Tips
OMG her building this was so cringe LMAO
I didn't have linus techtips in my time.. maybe this is a reflection that people just got dumber.. lol
focus should be CPU MOBO RAM cause you can upgrade the other stuff later.
Great Job! Best outcome :D
I Love you GPU :(
I hate her because she is just so ...aahhh ..i mean careless to precious computer components.
LMAO linus you have definitely yolo'd before. she was right.
linus trying to do an episode like the verge with his employee? haha
She melted my eyes with her whiteness
What the hell. It hurts my soul to watch this
Am I the only one that would rather leave RGB lights unconnected? I just don't like them.
you know I'm getting old when I'm watching a video where you have a full grown beard
She is ADORABLE! hehe!. I have almost zero clue how to put my own comp together (im still researching b4 I commit) but seeing her JAM stuff IN & OUT was EEEEK!!!! I felt your pain Linus lol
torture.
Maybe next time she should buy a higher IQ
the pain train awaits
Linus in this video: So, that's what it feels like.
Most people are not willing to spend the time researching parts, researching what makes them good, and researching how to put them together carefully.
Did you guys, uh, did you guys intentionally hide all the manuals from her? The motherboard in particular would have come with all the instructions she was seeking...
the motherboard manual is your best resource if you dont know what you are doing
Do you wanna give me anxiety? Because this is how you give me anxiety! Seriously though. She's actually doing a pretty good job for a first time build tbh. Good job Sarah!
So just a million or so nerds now lining up to offer?
This video was the most fun in ages!
your mother
Women am I right
Linus does not understand you need to flip the motherboard to check if peace's stick to board xD haha.
🤷♀️
Attempting to make a bunch of nerds on a forum do research and work for you for free seems like a great move if you're trying to keep costs and complications to a minimum?
"Next time I'll build a computer, I'll know what I'm doing" [X] Doubt
19:08 "the fact that it was that easy to pull out maybe it does mean it wasn't in properly" hahahahah
She's building a computer for the first time in the best time... god I don't miss the metal cuts you could get from the old steel cases.
It is always funny to see Wohnung men, that are quite gentle with mamy things RIPPING on such stuff like a stoneage roughguy. 😂
Takes a lot for a video like this one to make me mad. Holy moly was I fuming 10 minutes in. The arrogant nerd comments were so destructive. I'm just glad these wern't made in the same room as her. This is exactly why people don't have time for know-it-all-nerds. They talk down to people.
While looking to upgrade my RAM, I had the idea to search up some of my other components to see what else I could improve and how much it would cost My GeForce RTX 2060 was $183 when I bought it in 2019 and now it's over $1000...WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?????
Stop saying lucky charm things, besides that very good video, also happy that the girl is dressed appropiate compared to majority.
It is so much fun 😂
Linus needs anxiety meds over this lol.
cringey! But hey! we were all noobs at one point
well if ur very tech savey already u CAN make ur own but ur first few rigs will be... "OK" hopefully
Lol. Just Pick an b450 Board, why why why a520, b550, waste of money.
It's been an 97% for 2 minutes and she gets panicked thinking she did something wrong. Sarah: have you ever used windows off a slow old HDD or waited for it to finish installing as it might be setting up complex critical system components?
When I saw the title I was thinking now ready made PCs were so super cheap it wouldn't be worth to build one myself... btw, building PCs since 1989.
F**K crypto
Perfect
Lol this is funnyasf
In which world is intel cheaper? Maybe it's because on my side of the world, AMD is cheaper. AND WHO USES WIFI FOR GAMING? USE A LAN CABLE FFS
This game me goosebumps
Got my 1660 super for $200 about 2 years ago.
Bro
cute
That was fun to watch
I'm only half way through and i already have nightmares
13:59 Linus acting like the first time he saw pre-applied thermal paste ever he didn't wanna touch it, cmonBruh stop the cap
I remember when I built my first computer it was a cool calm winter's day. I had gone to buy some apples from Mrs. Twiglet the greengrocer and she was delighted to see me, and wouldn't you know it why the computer store was right next door I was overjoyed and oh so happy to have stumbled upon such a store. I bought a case a power supply a CPU and some other cool stuff to make it work. I can almost remember the joy and enlightenment I felt when at first I switched it on and it lit up. I was oh so happy happy happy happy oh so happy!!!!! you know what I mean?
Linus I’m 12 and I could build computers. I need a chance I need to get noticed make money and show people my talent.
I'm laughing so hard right now watching Linus scream Stop and face palming every time that graphics card wobbles or is pulled up and down!!! 🤣
linus should i sell my Geforce Gtx 1660 super and how much for
Just buy a laptop lol
Oof this feels like watching one of those cringe episodes of The Office.
Great video; it was somewhat refreshing. But, it makes me think back to why the framers of the U.S. Constitution opted NOT to have a direct vote for the presidency. HINT: They were afraid of the emotional and whimsical rabble. (That said, I'm sure glad that Linus was in the peanut gallery, i.e., à la Monday morning sports commentator.)
I've had plenty of bad ideas in my life..
"This video is proof that manufacturers could do a way better job of simping for users." Says the former computer repair guy & now a hotshot youtuber... Just watch, soon he'll be trying to burn down the hood he grew up in too - no that he doesn't live there anymore. Bet
Do i need a 570? Probably not. Will i get one? YES.
I think in special guess appearances they should be allowed to see the value($) of what they are working with.
Huge props to Sarah for this. Doing something you're not good/experienced at in front of a crowd of people (both in person and virtually) who are either very good or at least better than you takes huge stones. And to have such a fun attitude while doing it is really intoxicating to watch. More of Sarah, she's lovely!
God i love this girl :D
LMAO as a ProTech.
It's honestly reassuring to see how little love you can give to your hardware and have things work out alright
I want to build one. I'm not as knowledgeable. 8/
20:37 Frustration.exe
Ngl I'm still a PC noob. I just ordered from Cyberpowerpc (though mainly did it due to the GPU shortage). Next time I'll build my own.
I think the most cringe part was watching her install the GPU while the case is standing up. I would never do that
I keep looking for the *sideways shaking hand* icon instead of the thumbs up or thumbs down for this video. The concept however is very solid. Lots of unexpected gender dynamics at play here... Not judging that one way or the other. Just notable.
Sara- Ok it's in! ... me- oh ...
bruh im a damn kid and i know how to build a pc
This makes me feel smarter
God, how often do you have to touch the damn thermal paste XD
yo yo yo from egypt dont shave your beard please u look gr8
Linus shows up everything starts working automatically. Linus the tech wizard. 😂
she soo cuute
Haha, I love how much fun she's having breaki...I mean, learning about computer parts! All the a great smile too, we need more Sarah!
I also have no Idea what any of it means but it was fun watching Linus lose his mind 😁
I think everyone should build their own pc make sure the first ones cheap though we learn mostly from mistakes
She proofs how easy it is to build ur own PC. Stop act is if u are tech pros, just cause you build one.
Agony!!! But like the video! Great job girl! ✌️
Sarah did a great job without using a manual. Best advice for every one new. Read the manual!
Why wouldn't she watch a tutorial!?
And this is why I had to go through training at a vocational school just to feel confident enough to build. I was not able to do a test build before doing my massively expensive build, because I needed a build pretty much immediately. I happened to build before the GPU shortage really hit at its worst, and I happened to have my build go pretty much perfectly, and I had someone else also trained in computers to watch me and advise me on any small issues I was unsure about. I had been preparing my parts for a while, and even then I had to stop at least once to order something I needed and wait a day or two. At the end of the day, nothing will be more painful to me than installing the CPU fan. My god.
11:00 I think it's safer to grab it from the bottom... Later, *shakes the motherboard* don't do THAT
Can't remember when I last time laughed so hard. Mixing up genuine frustration with pure joy. Thanks for that.
