  That's a comically small Mobo for a case that size

  Your channel is one of the hidden gems of the internet. In my view it's a travesty how under-subbed you are comparison to other tech channels with the quality of content you produce. Anyway I have done my part and turned on notifications for Adamant IT.

  I fix computers myself, and glad someone like you is putting out such wholesome content for knowledge or people wanting to fix their computers

  I know very little about computers but I'm now addicted to your channel. The camera work, the way you explain things and your relaxed demeanour makes for an entertaining and educational watch. What a wonderful and interesting job you have. Cheers!

  This is true geek porn for me. I’m with you regarding the cable tidying too, it had to be done. Subbed 👍

  Mr. Lord, I saw this video on my tablet while waking up this  morning. You are the most watchable computer tech on YouTube. You speak clearly and concisely. Too many times I've seen guys (yes, no female techs yet) who ramble on, talk about their pickup trucks and their dogs, providing little useful information. I seriously saw one whose repair video ran one hour and 45 minutes. Maybe he edited it down a little. I think  he let his camcorder run and posted it. I just sampled bits and pieces of his marathon; I have a life and I can't waste time hearing about fly casting and favorite beers when I want to learn about computer repair.  Not only do you have the virtue of brevity, you built your studio/workstation with multiple cameras and video sources and you efficiently produce your show. I spent 32 years as a broadcast engineer and I know what  you invested in your setup.  Thanks, and I hope more people discover your videos.

  Great channel. Spares for testing are essential. Tools make life easier. In my 10+ years of professional support, I've always run memtest for 24hrs min. I do agree that often errors are found in 1 pass. I did however have a machine with random BSOD's, so I tested the ram & errors would start around the 23rd hour & I could repeat this using a totally different system aswell. After changing the ram, the BSOD's went away. Just soke food for thought :) keep up the good work.

  Decent Video, i like the extra effort you put in thinking of the customer, and actually helped them with cables and fans, other computer shops would not do this with out charging, great job.

  When I saw the RAM. I instantly knew it was probably low voltage ram in a board that is not compatible. I refurbish and fix Lenovos and see that compatibility issue often. Though it wasn't in this case.

  Respect to this guy, he is doing his utmost to not only fix, but cable manage and increase airflow on a, lets face it, junkey build. If this were a system build I was fixing for a friend I would have probably just swapped the memory and called it a day.

  One of the Hallmarks of a  true professional builder is how the cables are managed and routed, when the legal requirement for  EMC testing  built  computers   came in it was an  expensive and absolute pain  for the shop I  worked in back in the day-  but it did expose some surprising results -  having seen them fail between the USB ports  because the spring tabs on the back plate didnt make enough contact to the motherboard ports or and the backplate to the chassis or down  to a cable  (old  cdrom drives  with separate audio cable were a favourite for doing this)  that  picked up noise because the way it was routed, just squishing cables out of sight can cause  issues that most people do not understand and not just the RF ones...
