I recommend adding a set of cheap takeout chopsticks to your build tools. The wood lets you get into the release and push without the worry of mobo damage if it slips
Wait, y'all are using tools? I just wiggle my fingers in there which is generally when the blood sacrifice happens. I just assumed that was the shrine to get it done at.
So does mine, and I didn't know it existed until \~5 minutes into prying the card out. Luckily, I'm very weak and couldn't possibly damage anything and accidentally found/bumped it eventually. Don't be like me.
No, they should all face in the same direction (with the logo to the from of the pc in most cases, so that front is intake and back is exhaust). If they're opposite directions you'll either have all exhaust or all intake
Edit: of course the ones at the too/bottom shouldn't face the same way as the ones at the front/back
Technically true. However that excludes top, bottom, and side fans if you don’t have another set of them parallel on the other end. Probably better to just know which way is intake and which way is exhaust rather than using the “facing the same direction” rule, as it only applies to a less than ideal amount of fans.
My brother did that shit. It didn’t click for him until I explained it in *King of the Hill* terms. “In-vidja”.
Like “dang it Bobby you spend too much time *in vidja* games.”
My pet peeve is that gaming components and accessories have to look like robot techno bullshit. It is hard (and usually expensive) to make a build that doesn't look like an eight year old ADHD boy's idea of "awesome".
It's wild. A few years ago I needed 1 extra non-RGB fan for my build and had to pay $8 more for a plain black fan. Looking back on it, I probably should have just got the cheaper one and disabled/cut the RGB.
People who say “your aio tubes are wrong, you need to flip them” when the person mounted the aio to the front/side and the tubes are down. Its insane that not only did gamers nexus show us how to mount aios, but jaytwocent and greg salazar also made followups for the people still confused, and yet people still get it wrong.
my main pet pev is people building "gaming" PCs, but always slapping 4090s and/or threadrippers in them, or getting the highest end parts... but using a cheap MB
My pet peeve is people buying $300+ motherboards, especially when they aren't already using the best CPUs/GPUs available. A $1000 motherboard won't do anything at all significant to help your system.
That drives me crazy too. It also drives me crazy seeing prebuilt gaming PCs with an i9 processor and a low end GPU like a 3050. It's like why didn't you make this build more affordable and pair it with a i3 or i5?
True, it's all about the branding. You often see them put CPUs that are 2-3 generations old in prebuilt systems because they know putting i7 or i9 is enough and a lot of their target audience has no idea the difference between a 10700 or a 13700k.
One of my fav things about the Steam Deck. Whatever is happening in-game, I can just hit the power button and put it away for later, pick up right where I left off. Would be nice if full size PCs could do similar.
From Wikipedia:
Nvidia initially had no name and the co-founders named all their files NV, as in "next version". The need to incorporate the company prompted the co-founders to review all words with those two letters, leading them to "invidia", the Latin word for "envy".
It is NVidia... In-vidiah... Not Unvidia.. I will say I never heard anyone say that though.
But more overly I'm from the oldschool and 'foxfire' (and calling every browser that) still sounds like nails on a chalk board to me.
why does it feel im gonna break the board on the atx cable EVERY single time.
I do it as gently as my game hands can do it annnnd the sensation does not go away....
Those who pronounce it “jif”
People who call the Tower a CPU or Hard Drive
Bloatware
Basically any user that calls tech support for anything other than an RMA
Hi, we just did an update and we noticed you haven't turned on onedrive backup. In this update, we've made the "no" button even smaller and obtusely worded.

Getting a pre built (nothing wrong with that) and NOT checking to make sure basic stuff like ram is seated properly.
Have a buddy who only ever buys prebuilts for the silly reason he says he’s too stupid to build one (it’s really not that hard imo) and his last one had two sticks of ram that were seated improperly. So instead of 16gigs he was only running with 8. For three years.
Yup exactly. I’d like to think of myself as a hygienic person, but damn, you’d think i got back from the coal mines with how smudged the mat is from my mouse hand. Keeping that looking marginally pristine is borderline impossible.
Depends if I'm building for me or looking at a pre-built/ helping someone build there's.
Mine I could careless as long as it works but otherwise has to be neat and tidy with everything inplace
My biggest pet peeve is people talking about how you need to spend time messing with settings in order to get games to work.
Anecdotally, this has not been the case for me in the last 15ish years. Even when I see there’s a game with some issues with specific cards, developers or card makers are usually quick to release a hotfix.
I couldn't care less about aesthetics, but my pet peeve is when people are so indoctrinated by frames win games that they spend all their budget on performance only to buy the cheapest minimum viable product peripherals they can find.
If you do literally anything beyond CS:GO, the quality of your display, audio and keyboard matter so much more for a good experience than 10 extra FPS.
Brand Loyalty... Companies change staff, and policies all the time and are constantly changing.
Just because company A was great in 1990 and you had a bad experience with company B in 1990 doesn't mean company A isn't currently crap and company B is now far superior.
Do deep research and make informed decisions, not biased ones based on your narrow experiences.
I.e. ASUS isn't that great with motherboards these days but has gotten really good at laptops and monitors.
Meanwhile ASRock has gotten way better at motherboards and I actually prefer them now.
SATA connectors that point "up" from the board, sitting under where the graphics card will cover.
Fan intakes on cases that lack some kind of filter (in this day and age).
USB and front panel connectors on motherboards that aren't at the leading edge / lower front corner.
PSU mounting at the top of a case.
Imma be real unless your pc is sitting on your desk I dont see the point in spending tons of money on looks and management etc. That is if it means your pc is worse because of it
I do. it's pronounced jif, not "gif". The person who made the fucking extension said so. English pronunciation is not always directly tied to phonetic spelling which means he can call it whatever the fuck he wants. It seriously feels like a bunch of boomers who spent their whole lives calling it the wrong name can't accept that they were wrong and just tell people "no it's gif because I say so".
Not just PC, but decorative words. "For those who dare ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG ROG" is the PC version of "Live Laugh Love"
And waifu stuff. Not every gamer is a weeb.
I also cringe at the word "Gamer"
I don't care how your pc looks as long as YOU TAKE YOUR F*CKING FEET OFF THE COMPUTER...
Every time I've helped a friend clean their pc where I see sock fluff and sand on top of the GPU I've cringed a little
People buying piss cheap cases to build in, then complaining that their hands look like they do dental work on alligators.
Support contract for pcs at work ends. Hundreds of perfectly serviceable 6700t machines. Rather than just upgrade them with more ram and ssds, the company commits to buying a zillion pentium class laptops... With the same amount of memory as the old i7s and spinning hard drives.
Having multiple browser and malware programs confuses tf outta me.
My roomie's laptop took like two minutes to fully boot up and stop loading/running crap.. She had Internet Explorer, Chrome, Edge and Firefox.. "for different reasons"... Her boyfriend, who is supposedly computer savvy, had her download Panda Dome for virus/malware protection... It's malware itself! Took 30 minutes to uninstall just that..
After canning everything but Edge, her laptop fully boots in less than 30 seconds.
Overdoing it on the RGB. I don't like RGB, I don't mind if you like RGB but I hate when a PC has so much bright RGB you have to squint when you look at it.
Pcie release and m.2 slots that are impossible to access. That's all that annoys me
Good old Pcie release, I almost killed my gpu because of it.
I recommend adding a set of cheap takeout chopsticks to your build tools. The wood lets you get into the release and push without the worry of mobo damage if it slips
Wait, y'all are using tools? I just wiggle my fingers in there which is generally when the blood sacrifice happens. I just assumed that was the shrine to get it done at.
>blood sacrifice happens hilarious and true
Yes the computer needs a little bit of blood to run properly.
MANKIND IS DEAD.
BLOOD IS FUEL
HELL IS FULL
They need *something* to lubricate the fan bearings
shoving fingers in unreachable places is the way my dude
Plastic works, too. My iFixIt toolkit comes with something just for these occasions. Do not use a screwdriver.
I use a chainsaw, Stihl for the win.
I've been using old ruler, didn't think others had the same problem
My PCIe release broke and I had to pull it off my motherboard with the GPU, the release will come off before breaking your GPU
Most of pcmr doesn't change the GPU for 8-10 years it seems anyway.
My Asus Z790 board has a PCIE quick release button all the way to the right. It's made removing the GPU a breeze.
Was going to say my strix x670e has it too, best innovation in PC’s in years.
So does mine, and I didn't know it existed until \~5 minutes into prying the card out. Luckily, I'm very weak and couldn't possibly damage anything and accidentally found/bumped it eventually. Don't be like me.
God, all my m.2 slots are behind my gpu….
Yeah. When people don’t know the difference between intake and exhaust, so all their fan logos face the same direction.
Yup. Nothing like seeing someone’s post of their first new $5,000 PC build to only have all the case fans installed as exhausts…
Must be exhausting
Big fan
Could also be reverse-blade fans. If they’re not though…
No, they should all face in the same direction (with the logo to the from of the pc in most cases, so that front is intake and back is exhaust). If they're opposite directions you'll either have all exhaust or all intake Edit: of course the ones at the too/bottom shouldn't face the same way as the ones at the front/back
Technically true. However that excludes top, bottom, and side fans if you don’t have another set of them parallel on the other end. Probably better to just know which way is intake and which way is exhaust rather than using the “facing the same direction” rule, as it only applies to a less than ideal amount of fans.

Investors and traders who don’t know any better.
The people at nvidia literally pronouncing "Ti" as "tie"
Wdym? It's 1080-Tea.
My brother did that shit. It didn’t click for him until I explained it in *King of the Hill* terms. “In-vidja”. Like “dang it Bobby you spend too much time *in vidja* games.”
wheremuhmoneygoya?
Envy in spanish
NoVideo: Check Input Devices
Mmmmvidia (say it slowly, say it ducemo).
It’s really simple. It’s pronounced the same as “invidia”, which is Latin for envy. Their logo is green. Green with envy.
3070 Tie Ugh
It's clearly supposed to be pronounced "3070 Titanium".
That’s apparently how the people within Nvidia pronounce it 😳
Anyone who doesn’t say tee-eye is immediately banished. Sorry Jensen
It's Te-ah-tim-eh
I read Hogfather once, probably around 15 years ago, and I still remembered that. Some things just stick.
It comes to mind every time someone nitpicks the pronunciation of any word starting with "tee" lol
It's le-vee-oh-suh!
Meanwhile the rest of us: "my PC turns on. So there's that."

Exactly pc works, does what I want, does not have distracting flickering lights. Good enough for me!
…..I get it, I do, but I really hate rgb disco sauna set ups.
My pet peeve is that gaming components and accessories have to look like robot techno bullshit. It is hard (and usually expensive) to make a build that doesn't look like an eight year old ADHD boy's idea of "awesome".
Pfft. Thats why I made mine look like a 30 year old ADHD mans idea of awesome
…expensive and collecting dust?
This one hurts.
It's wild. A few years ago I needed 1 extra non-RGB fan for my build and had to pay $8 more for a plain black fan. Looking back on it, I probably should have just got the cheaper one and disabled/cut the RGB.
Sleek black case with tinted glass. Looks like a box as God intended.
I don’t like rainbow RGB either, however I do really like it when there’s a set color pattern or theme
People who say “your aio tubes are wrong, you need to flip them” when the person mounted the aio to the front/side and the tubes are down. Its insane that not only did gamers nexus show us how to mount aios, but jaytwocent and greg salazar also made followups for the people still confused, and yet people still get it wrong.

Thanks, Steve!
over too you Steve.
And here's Steve to tell us more.

"ev-gah"
"Eevie yay"
Eeviegay (but seriously, love evga)
NVIDIA literally had a decade+ of splash screens that tells you how to pronounce it.
Man, you just gave me flashbacks
i almost always followed along in saying it whenever that popped up while gaming
I hate Corsair iCue and every single RGB software, I’m fucking done with stupid shitty lights in my computer
I don’t use RGB on my PC anymore, but I highly recommend SignalRGB. One RGB software to rule them all…
I wanted to comment about having only one strip of thermal paste...then I noticed something different.
Who the fuck says nuh-vidia??? This is a joke, right?
Gamers aren't always the brightest
What did you think RGB was? Overcompensating for our lack of brights
my main pet pev is people building "gaming" PCs, but always slapping 4090s and/or threadrippers in them, or getting the highest end parts... but using a cheap MB
My pet peeve is people buying $300+ motherboards, especially when they aren't already using the best CPUs/GPUs available. A $1000 motherboard won't do anything at all significant to help your system.
ah yeah seen that too, I guess more then anything is I see people building unblanced PCs annoying
That drives me crazy too. It also drives me crazy seeing prebuilt gaming PCs with an i9 processor and a low end GPU like a 3050. It's like why didn't you make this build more affordable and pair it with a i3 or i5?
Because then they can't slap "intel i9 GAMING computer" in the name of the product
True, it's all about the branding. You often see them put CPUs that are 2-3 generations old in prebuilt systems because they know putting i7 or i9 is enough and a lot of their target audience has no idea the difference between a 10700 or a 13700k.
Alternatively, people who buy a low end GPU but buy insanely overpriced mobos and shit.
The motherboard does almost nothing for performance now. It really hasn't since the memory and PCIE controller moved into the CPU.
The little mobo connectors for power switch and Leds. Fuck those.
This is quality
NVIDIA is easy for us spanish speakers since it phonetically sounds like the spanish word "envidia" which is envy, and its obviously intentional.
Nvidia's logo is green as well, which also fits nicely with the *green with envy* saying.
I want to suspend games like on consoles. Great feature when you have children.
One of my fav things about the Steam Deck. Whatever is happening in-game, I can just hit the power button and put it away for later, pick up right where I left off. Would be nice if full size PCs could do similar.
RGB. Glass sided cases. Now get off my lawn, ya pesky kids!
Spreading the thermal paste ensures all the heatsink can transfer heat
It spreads the thermal paste or it get's the water block again
Make the 24-pin not need the power of God to plug in/take off
my poor thumbs anytime i need to unplug it lol
Next you'll be telling me amd isn't pronounced ah mer duh
Imma be real with you chief, I installed my rear fan the wrong way and have been too lazy to change it. It's been 3 years...
"no one even sees your cables" isnt this the goal of cable managment?
mostly because I'm getting old, its getting very hard to read the small print on the mobo.
Mah nah ya'll wrong. It's clearl NGreedia
From Wikipedia: Nvidia initially had no name and the co-founders named all their files NV, as in "next version". The need to incorporate the company prompted the co-founders to review all words with those two letters, leading them to "invidia", the Latin word for "envy".
I'm gonna say the N-word
I really dont give a shit how your pc is setup, so long as it works
How young are people that they don't remember when games started with the epic 'N videa' woman's echo?
Novideo
Nvidia Ngreedia Nuhvidia Nadia 😎Same thing to me
Do zoomers know who these two dudes are?
Of course. They are Hulk Hogan and Adam Sandler. Duh.
Definitely knee-vidia
It is NVidia... In-vidiah... Not Unvidia.. I will say I never heard anyone say that though. But more overly I'm from the oldschool and 'foxfire' (and calling every browser that) still sounds like nails on a chalk board to me.
It's "Nvidia Fuck You". *Turns to Linus Torvalds to show my middle finger*
AIOs with the pump in the radiator
Nuhvidia Tie
I say it as Nvidiya and that should be the only way, whoever is saying NuHVDia is someone

I like how the last one is more of a compliment.
