This is the most egregious thing to me. I can understand having weird hardware issues that are hard to solve. But who in their right mind does a CPU removal/check crouched under their desk (PC still upright) like some obese tranny Gollum? That would never be a good idea.
Check the image. He filmed the first CPU removal and then hit the socket with air duster. That circled bit flies out of the socket when he sprays it. Assuming that isn't an entire pin(it's hard to tell) it may have just been something in the socket that was shorting CPU pins which would explain the behavior. I assume his stupid ass smashed a few dozen pins in the socket when reinstalling the CPU after that. If it wasn't from the factory, considering this retard is dumb enough to re-socket a CPU hunched under a fucking desk, and he's a filthy long haired greasy weirdo anyway, that's probably what did it. The fact that he even thinks he needs air duster when doing anything with a CPU shows he knows he's a filthy fucking golem that can't keep the socket clean for the 5-10 seconds the latch is open(for a normal human) before he sets the CPU on it.
Because he's a retard living in an apartment, can't run a cable along the edge of the wall(or just drill the fucking thing and patch it when you move out) and doesn't want to have the computer where the line comes through the wall from the ISP. Lots of people do this shit.
Braindead attempt at troubleshooting.
So funny you should mention that. Based off of his memtest screen(that he shows himself blankly staring at like a retard while lifting 1kg weight(it's around the 1:40) mark
Honestly even foregoing what the initial problem was (which was likely ESD as some people said or RAM incompatibility), how the fuck did he spend 5 months on this? It's like group projects where people do like one thing the whole week and then present that as their work and just want you to accept that the whole week, in the multiple hours they should have worked on it, they probably only spent like 10 minutes on it as fact.

I learnt this the hard way on the last AMD system I put together. But in my defense I don't have a youtube channel claiming to be an expert.
Always twist your cooler before pulling it up to break that seal.
Custom closed loop, cool. Mine just has an air tower cooler and a ziptie abomination for the GPU fans. It's ugly, but it's in a metal panel case and it works.
Tech Fiona likely lives in an apartment and thus thinks he can't route cables. That said, though, 100' of Cat6 is like $20, and then you can get a bunch of knockoff 3M Command strips and cheap zip ties for like $20, then you just 3D print some cable tiedowns and use those Command strips to stick 'em to the walls.
Don't even need all that shit. a $20 cable staple gun and pack of staples along the baseboard every few feet will work just fine and go around door frames under doors. Physically rip it out when you move out, swipe some putty filler from a small 4 ounce tub from the hardware store into the holes with your fingertip, sweep up the staples. Problem solved.
I am not certain the cable is exactly the same as the motherboard. Left is from Case manual. Right is from MB manual
HCL is, in my experience, not a hard rule, so much as "We tried these and can vouch that our samples worked." As long as you're not putting ECC RAM on a board and chip that don't support ECC, you're generally (I'd say >99% of the time) going to be fine, even if you're like me and buy sub-$100 Asus boards exclusively. Didn't even have trouble with non-HCL RAM on first-gen Ryzen, myself, and that generation was supposedly the worst so far about that.
