Saving Kyle's ITX Gaming PC!

**The Upgrade and Build Process**

As I sat down to work on my brother's PC build, I couldn't help but feel a bit silly when I realized that he had only received a GTX 1660 as part of his system. I thought to myself, "This is an RX 2070, at least." The triple fan design gave it away, and I knew right then and there that the card was indeed overkill for such a light build. I decided to upgrade him to an RX 6800, which would make a significant difference in his gaming experience.

**The Removal of the Graphics Card**

I started by carefully removing the graphics card from its original position. As I pulled it out, I felt a slight sense of relief that the process was finally underway. I realized that the card had been slightly obstructed by the locking mechanism, making it difficult to remove. Once I managed to dislodge it, I was able to slide it through the threading with relative ease.

**The Use of Nylon Screws**

Next, I turned my attention to the nylon screws that would be used to hold everything in place. These screws were designed to pass through the metal screws and provide a more secure connection. As I realized, they had a slightly different thread size than the metal screws, making it necessary to use the nuts to keep things stable. It was a bit of an unusual design choice, but I figured it made sense.

**The Reinstallation of the Graphics Card**

Once I had installed the new RX 6800, I carefully reassembled everything and ensured that all connections were secure. With the card now in place, I took a moment to admire my handiwork. The clean build and lack of dust made me feel proud of the upgrade.

**The Power Supply Upgrade**

I also decided to upgrade the power supply to ensure that it could handle the increased power requirements of the new RX 6800. A 650W SFX power supply would be more than sufficient for this build, and I was pleased with myself for making the right call.

**Reassembling the Case**

As I began to reassemble the case, I carefully tucked away any excess components and made sure that everything was secure. The integrated side panels were a unique feature of the H1 case design, and I made sure to utilize them effectively. With all parts in place, I felt satisfied with my work.

**The Installation of AMD Drivers**

Finally, I installed the AMD drivers for my new graphics card. I used the auto-detect function, which is always my go-to approach. With the driver installation complete, I took a moment to admire my handiwork and feel confident in the knowledge that everything was running smoothly.

**Sending the Upgraded System Back to My Brother**

With the upgrade complete, I decided it was time to return the system to my brother. I carefully packaged everything up and made arrangements for him to drive over to collect his new PC. As I watched him take possession of his upgraded system, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had no idea that he would be playing with an RX 6800, and I was excited to see the difference it would make in his gaming experience.

**Recording My Brother's Reaction**

I decided to record my brother's reaction when he first boots up the system and realizes what's changed. It would be a fun moment, and I was looking forward to capturing his surprise and enthusiasm as he plays with his new graphics card. With the drivers installed, we were ready to put the system through its paces and see just how much of a difference this upgrade made.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endoes anyone remember this pc build here and the nzxt h1 we built it for my brother a few months back but apparently it's a fire hazard now there is a very simple fix for this issue we'll show you what that is in this video we're going to take care of it for uh for my brother because i don't want his house burning down uh i also think that uh we should spend a few minutes cleaning some of the dust that's caked up in this radiator got quite a bit of dust in this dust filter as well i'm not sure if you can see it on camera but uh it's pretty gross so we'll clean this all up for him we'll swap the screws in the riser with the nylon screws in zxt sent and we'll make sure everything boots again stay with me team group t-force zeus sodims boasts large capacities and frequencies up to 3200 megahertz making them perfect for gaming laptops and content creators quality ics ensure stable performance and portable form factors and are generally easy to install learn more about these memory modules by clicking the link below so nzxt was kind enough to include an h1 repair kit guide if you have one of these h1s and you email them about fixing your build they'll send you one of these and it's pretty straightforward all we really need to do is remove our graphics card and then we'll fix the riser cable where is it right there yep step three and these here are the included nuts and screws we'll only need two of these a piece you can see they are made of nylon they are not metal so they should not be conductive and it should be as easy as one two three whoops i should probably unplug this uh pci cable yeah get on out of there there we go all right card is removed now the two problem areas are here and here these screws are made of metal and if you over torque these you could pierce through some of the traces that could result in a short which could result in a fire that is no bueno now it is not easy accessing this top screw and i'm trying my best not to strip it not that i really need it for anything else but i imagine installing the nylon screw is going to be problematic because uh well the locking mechanism for the riser cable is kind of in the way this bottom screw down here much easier to access so we remove these two this cable will probably just be hanging there it's actually a fairly rigid riser cable so here we go second screw is removed let's get our nylon ones now i felt a bit silly these nylon screws just kind of pass through uh the threading for the metal screws they're not the same thread size so uh you use these nuts to kind of hold things in place i guess it makes sense it's why they included them but uh just seems a bit silly and we'll take care of the top one now so we just pass this one through if i can even get it in there this is this is not a very good design and i imagine will be problematic for other well i keep losing it it's difficult to get this screw in here with this locking mechanism where it is kind of there we go you can see the threads just slide right through and then you're going to want to use this nut i'm just going to twist it i'm going to hand tighten it not going to tighten any further than that doesn't really need to be any more tight at the end of the day the card being locked to the chassis is what's going to keep this thing rigid so i think that's about it can't get much tighter than that and uh yeah i mean the riser cable's not going anywhere now with the graphics card still out i'm gonna take my electric duster get rid of this dust clean the system up for him before we give it back to him you know what i realized i only gave my brother a gtx 1660 for his build i thought this was an rtx 2070 or something like that because it's a triple fan card this is a bit overkill for a 1660. it's a fairly light card so the cooler is uh not very dense but i'm gonna go and upgrade him he's been complaining a bit about frame rates i think he sees my system the other system in the game room here and he kind of envies that i don't blame him i mean i get this stuff for free anyway so i'm going to upgrade him to an rx 6800 which is going to be a fairly night and day difference between this and the 1660. i'm not going to say anything to him though i'm just going to plug it in and i'll swap the drivers out so he won't notice that anything's wrong and when he starts gaming again we'll probably play tonight i'll see if he notices any major difference and i'll report back to you in a pinned comment in this video so be sure to check that out now the recommended power supply for a 6800 it's in the ballpark of about 600 watts there is a 650 watt sfx power supply in this h1 and uh should be enough for this card in case you're wondering we're just going to slot that in and go all the way in doesn't look like it's all the way in oh that yep that did it right there okay there are two pcie eight pins to connect up top here then we'll get these taken care of there we go tuck the excess behind this little uh panel here and we just need to screw the card into the case nice so a clean case a clean build again i didn't deep clean this system but uh definitely looks much better than it did getting rid of that excess dust and a more powerful system i think kyle's a winner all around now while most cases have two side panels the h1 technically has four although two of them are kind of integrated into one and then the other two let's see we have this one here that's all clean now and this one the glass front panel so let's get all this reassembled and then we'll install amd drivers and the amd drivers have been installed i always use auto detect it's just easy for me that way i don't really care what driver version it is as long as it's stable at this point with amd but uh anyway i'm gonna send this back to my brother actually i'm gonna have to drive it over to his house and i'm gonna see if i can record his reaction to the new card he's not gonna know again that's why i took care of the drivers now because he's just gonna turn his pc on he won't really realize that anything is different until he starts playing a game so i'm gonna see tonight if he will play call of duty war zone with me and i'll see if i can get a reaction out of him worst case i don't but hey at least his system is running nice and clean now uh no risk of fire thankfully and he's got an upgrade so that is all for this one thank you for watching be sure to leave a comment down below subscribe if you haven't already check out my spotify playlist join our
