  1. Hey everyone, just a quick, friendly reminder that bots are bad, Mkay? We run TheoJoe's bot destroyer 9000 several times a day to try and clear them out, but they just keep popping up. Unless the comment is from @DawidDoesTechStuff YT Account, it is not from me.
    I am giving away the Custom PC to a viewer through Gleam – the winner will be drawn next week Wednesday, and the winner will not have to pay for shipping or import duties. Please don't give any personal information or money away to anyone on the internet willy-nilly.

    P.S. I DO NOT HAVE TELEGRAM.

  2. i have the ventus 2x 3060 and have never went over 72c is that because the air flow in the aegis r is so awful the circulation is keeping heat on that 3060 around 82c

  3. Yet again a super interesting video as I made my first own build thanks to your videos. Sadly I'm now seeying this video from my work laptop as my custom PC has been stolen when they broken into my house a couple days ago. I hope I can win this custom pc that was made with your love as I have to save right now for my new build.
    Keep up the good video's mate.

  4. It's so boring to build you own computer, but one is stupid if one don't do it
    So much cheaper to do it you self, you can use what you save for more ram, bigger storage, better graphic card. Etc. So you see one has to do it.
    Btw been building computer since the early nineties.

  5. Great looking system and not surprised about the results, however you did put RGB fans in after and everyone knows RGB make things faster, so it should bury that typhoid lizard lovers PC now.

  6. I mean … yeah you are hamstrung pretty massively for this price range because of this being a sponsored video… For the same budget you could build something like a "pcpartpicker /list/Ffzf4s " system… which would annihilate this one – AND you would be on the AM5 platform with decent parts and have good quality 32 GB of DDR5-5200 RAM… You could go for 16GB if you absolutely want to squeeze it into the 1050$ "equal budget" – but I wouldn't. + a much stronger GPU + a bit larger PSU for better upgradability…

    I understand the "restrictions" Dawid – but frankly this is not a "$1400 Pre-Built VS Custom Gaming PC Late 2022" – but rather a "$1400 Pre-Built Be Quiet! PC VS Custom Gaming PC Late 2022" – because frankly what you build here is a 940 USD system with normal good quality parts – for the price of 1400 CAD with a bit better case and some useless extra fans. No really I even added an AIO because why not (Cheating cause it's on sale but whatever πŸ˜€ ) "pcpartpicker /list/nF2mjZ "

  7. I remember my first (and only) machine I built and the pink stuff covering the fan came off when I took the plastic cover off, so I rang the place where I bought it from (it was miles away from where I lived) and they said "whatever you do, don't turn it on, get another fan with the stuff on because it keeps the processor cool" and so I did and to this day, the machine still works perfectly well (although I've not tried it in a couple of years now) but I loved the machine. Ah those were the days… πŸ™‚

  8. I've always been a fan of custom building a PC…I just have ham hands and am so bad at cable management that the case would look like its gone through a hedge backwards in a tornado. So I went for a sort of mid-point. A custom system build by a company. It does what I needed it to do for work and the games I do play so I am happy. However, that Be Quiet rig looks really good and is making me doubt my life choices lol
