New PC Temps

YES thermal paste reapplied to.

I meant for the build in the first place. That is a rookie error

[Corey N Georgie]

I Paid £95 for the build to be done with my parts which I thought was good.

Just did a benchmark test and system didn't go above 62*c.

That is so much better

Glad you got it looked at.

I charge £50 and have never done that in 25 years

How many hours labour for a build at £50?

[Corey N Georgie]

They took 3 hours for the £95.

Depending on complexity and if everything works 1 to 2 hours max including OS install as this takes a few mins now. The price does not include water loops but AIO is included. Simple systems can be be built in half hour then OS on top

I thought £95 for 3 hour work was reasonable and that's without the 45 min callout to fix the temperature issue which he has since done.

It would have been if he had been a competent system builder. Making this mistake shows he is not and it was his mistake if he had expected a call out fee he would have deserved a slap

Everyone makes mistakes, that's what makes us human at the end of the day. He apologized and that's the end of it from my point.

I bit harsh I think. I'm quite sure you have made mistakes.

I do not think it is harsh at all especially when charging nearly £100 to put a system together. There is very little you have to do nowadays it has all been dumbed now and in my opinion not removing the hotplate cover is amateur to say the least. On top of that where was the soak test that would have shown this error ?

As I said I can build a system quickly but it still gets a soak test that I do not have to sit around watching 3dMark and Cinebench so stability is tested. This system under proper load would not be stable therefore it was not tested

I stand by what I said. Bad system builders have killed the enthusiast system builders reputation. You want to see some of the terrible information on Facebook

A guy posted images of windows failings its in build memory diagnostics and after 50 replies I was the first to say errrm its faulty ram. The guy had tried a PSU reinstalled windows and wasted loads of time. Tested it with one stick of ram and it was fine

To be fair that is a rookie mistake and one that no person who has put a number of systems together would likely make I've certainly never made that mistake.

That sort of thing is one of the first checks to make. Checking everything is seated properly and the wiring is all correct. Then start taking out things and putting them back one by one to see when the error happens. Single stick is always a start.

When I built my latest system Las June everything looked fine but no post. Checked everything all components fine. Turns out I hadn't given the system enough time to run memory training as it's an AM5 build. For some reason it takes ages.
