Player shows why his gaming PC crashes with 4 photos and gets scathing comments

A gamer contacted Reddit with 4 photos of his PC because his PC is crashing. The community took one look at the images and noted with scathing comments just what he did wrong.

The Reddit user “Keniisu” writes in a post on the social network that he has a problem with his PC – it crashes. To find out what caused his computer to crash, the user opened the PC and removed the CPU cooler.

Keniisu then shared four photos of the innards of his computer on the pcmasterrace subreddit.

In one day, Keniisu received 4,500 upvotes on the subreddit and over 1,100 comments for his post. But the commentators come to a scathing verdict.

Manufacturer shows chic housing, gamers are enthusiastic: “Great design! Goes straight to my wish list”

Commentators call PC a ‘disaster’

What exactly are the comments saying? Under Keniisu’s post there is a comment with 6,500 upvotes, in which a user named “Arthur-Wintersight” summarizes in detail what mistakes Keniisu made with his PC.

The user criticizes, among other things, that Keniisu has:

  • used a whole tube of thermal paste
  • the NVMe drive is not screwed down
  • the 2.5″ SSD is not screwed down
  • the graphics card is not tightened
  • pulled out the CPU incorrectly and bent a lot of pins in the process
  • In addition, according to Arthur-Wintersight, the PC is “missing a lot of MOBO screws” and it looks “as if the I/O shield is supporting”. In addition, “the right PCIe power connector has damaged plastic.”

    The devastating conclusion of the user: “I usually don’t recommend prebuilts [vorgefertigte PCs] versus DIY setups, but in this case I’ll make an exception. You should also ask a workshop to do all the technical upgrades for you.”

    Other users also make a hard judgment. Chikorya writes that Kennisu “should have his PC license revoked.” Countless other comments primarily criticize the amount of thermal paste used. On top of that, an NSFW label (Not Safe for Work) is required and the computer is described as a “disaster”.

    The case of a gamer who wanted to make room for his new graphics card is also a disaster:
