The Verge PC Build Guide - 2021 Redemption

[JaredVannett]

Remember Stefan Etienne from the infamous Verge PC Build Guide?




He's back on LTT, to finish what he started

I assume he's finally caved and done this because his career has bombed since the original vid ?

I didn't watch all the LTT video but it seems he tried to palm most of the blame off to the production company for continuity errors, etc.
This doesn't go to explain his fundamental lack of knowledge on the subject. eg the PSU not short circuiting and the "keeping the cooler off the cpu but close enough to make contact" line, amongst the many others.

I guess I'm just one of the salty jealous geeks that couldn't afford 2000 dollars for a gaming pc

I remember the original video well

He shot himself in the foot a bit.. A few tech channels offered to help him re-do the build and teach him some stuff but instead of taking it on the chin and trying to put a positive spin on it, he just deflected blame and kinda spat his dummy out..
