Likebutter buys a new mobo for his gaming PC (Day 3)

I still don't understand why he's getting so much donation money. What the goddamn hell Twitch?

He streamed Halo yesterday and said that people were emailing Asus about his stream, so they wouldn't take his busted board back. Poor guy!
Anyway, of all things I don't get how he broke a slot in the motherboard. Even when ripping the card out like he did, should that really break the slot?

No sympathy. He broke it. Why should they eat his dumb ass cost, ESPECIALLY when he's raking in donations anyhow. Not like he's losing money either.
He put pressure on one side and did the ol' tilt and yank, at least that's what it looks like... it's a perfectly reasonable thing to have happen if you're an idiot, purposefully or otherwise.
And people say there's no money in performance art.

Motherboards have locking clips to hold the graphics card in, and he didn't open that clip up before pulling it out. I thought he had just broke the clip, but I guess there was damage to the slot too. If he had actually opened that clip then pulling it out like that shouldn't have done any damage and wouldn't require that much force either.

Yeah, it's certainly feasible if he did it in a really stupid way. Oh, of course he did...
But I think he gets it exchanged from amazon now. Anyway, despite his impossible lack of PC building skills, he seems like a good guy.
not sure why anyone ever thought otherwise
he's a streamer. they get paid to be stupid, and the better they act, the more money they get.

Haha, 13 hours of work and then he needs to replace his motherboards. Basically starting over entirely.

I'll act silly and break computer stuff if you guys will give me the ad revenue to finance it.

What's with the cynicism about money in here? Guy is very convincing as an idiot to me.

Day3? lol damn
Is he still stubborn about reading manuals and watching how to videos?

Well, he said that going in blind was stupid, and he would always look at the manual in the future.
I haven't been watching most of the stream, but he does seem slightly more competent today. It's probably because his asshole Skype friend isn't distracting him.

Wait. Guy just said his last mobo actually didn't work when it got there. I'll just assume he says that in hope of getting it RMA'ed despite the video evidence of him ripping it apart.
He's learning to make you give him money at least.

The salt in this thread is hilarious lol. You guys.
It took God 7 days to construct the earth. 3 days for a pc is about the same relatively speaking.

I cant believe this is still going on.
I was watching Saturday night during the thermal paste on the CPU saga. Some guy from the twitch chat, eternalgamer, called him on teamspeak and started talking him through what to do. It got really boring at that point.

He had a huge front page GAF thread the first time around too. That got locked. Didn't care to see anything else personally.
He's foolish for spending money and making up excuses as to why he couldn't read his manuals to learn where to put everything. Or watch tutorials all over the Internet to look what to do.
The ADD excuse is pure nonsense. I've been diagnoses ADHD since I was 12. You can focus fine on something you are interested in. And that goes for manuals and tutorials. While boring. The thought of screwing up and wasting hundreds of dollars is plenty of motivation for any semi normal human. Perhaps this was gifted money and he could care less. Which is my end guess

is he still calling everything aids? i can't watch right now
I don't really see the big deal about this anymore.
He got the computer together and is just replacing the motherboard because of the PCI slot he unknowingly broke.
I guess this is here to further insult him.
Never thought I'd ever see another topic made about him, or in general. I guess there could be an obsession with watching and wanting people to fail only to insult them when they do.
That's the sole reason as to why I requested for my last thread to be locked. Thought it'd be interesting to observe and try to help him as a "Twitch builds a PC", but it turned into something that I didn't really want.

New threads for new ne...oh never mind.
He didn't make a few thousand. At best, maybe he did around 100$, which is in-line with what he usually gets in the same ammount of time. I guarantee you he didn't make enough money to make up for the part he broke.

Please, someone make a highlights video of this when he finishes the build. I just don't have the patience to go through the whole thing.
He's not faking it.
I watched his stream entirely to long over the weekend. I thought it was fake when I started. It's not fake bro.
He wanted to build a pc with his followers only. Twitch builds a pc

He's doing it on purpose right?
Holy shit dudes, no he isn't, it's been repeated over and over again by people that have actually watched the streams. If this guy is faking it he's a goddamn wordclass actor and should probably stop streaming and start acting in movies.

So.....he's a moron?
Even on my first build, I had it up and running in a few hours. And I know I must have looked like a damn fool putting it together.
